Posted 20150927: Eymet finish season 2015 as undisputed champions, completing a clean sweep by winning the Final of the Blevins Franks League today. They beat B-GCC in a tense, low-scoring match, with the bowlers and catchers very much on top. Details on the Results page.

Details, as ever, on the Results page.
Posted 20150826: Congratulations to both Mansle and Saint Aulaye for getting their "Labellisation" projects approved by France Cricket. They can look forward to getting serious help in developing their clubs.

Posted 20150713: We have a new sponsor!
Our friends of long-standing in Siddalls have now become part of the Blevins Franks company, who are just as keen on cricket! They've been providing support to the game in France for 20 years and we're delighted and grateful for their continuing support.
ACCSO clubs will shortly be receiving material for their own Web sites, etc.
Posted 20150601: The running order for the T20 qualifying round at Seissan has now been settled. The T20 programme on the Fixtures page has been updated.
Gentlemen: Hats off to Allison Rocher of Mansle, who stood in her first match as an ACCSO-qualified umpire at Chenaud for the SAC-DCC match. She is the only lady umpire in competitive cricket in the whole of France. Chapeau!
Posted 20150512: Siddalls have just confirmed that this year's Cup Final will be held at EYMET. All fixtures files have been updated.
Posted 20150501: The Regulations page now has details of how to go about the assessments for the Fair Play Award, via an extension to the existing Match Report form.
Posted 20150424: And now for something REALLY unusual: congratulations to Robin Murphy, late of Catus CC, who was part of the three-man France Cricket delegation invited to dine at the Elysée Palace by François Hollande and Indian PM Modi. How the other half live!
Posted 20150204: Thanks to sterling work by Nick Brooks, we can now bring you the fixtures for the Southern pool of the Siddalls League. These, together with updates to the Cup and T20 programmes are on the Fixtures page.
A reminder: 28th February - due date for return of all the Entry Forms.
Posted 20150102: Very best wishes to all for 2015 - a new year which has started off very well for Lucien Calkin (Midi), James Dawkins (Toulouse) and Robin Murphy (Catus), who have all been called up to join the squad from which the France Senior team will be selected for the 2015 campaign. Congratulations!
Posted 20141224: A few moments of calm before the festivities and the opportunity to load up the majority of the fixtures for 2015 (go to the Fixtures page) and also all the regulations for the 2015 competitions (on the Regulations page).
A diary date: 28th February - due date for return of all the Entry Forms.
Posted 20141205: The minutes of AGM 2014 have been approved for publication - on the AGM page.
Posted 20141128:
An excellent turnout - as ever - at our AGM on 15th November got through a very sizeable agenda. Work on the minutes is well advanced and they will be posted as soon as possible.
Club presidents are about to be informed of the new rules which will be in force in 2015 for all applications for grants to the CNDS.
And the FFBS have just refreshed all the documents for when clubs come to pay affiliation & licence fees for 2015. These can be accessed from the foot of the Regulations page.
Posted 20141117: At AGM on 15th November, this year's Siddalls Awards were announced and handed over.
The Best Batsman award went to David Bordes of Saint Aulaye.
Bilal Mian, also of SAC, picked up the Best Bowler award.
Best Junior player of 2014 is Ahmed Jewel of Eymet.
And Pierre Zivanovic of Midi took the prize for most improved French player of 2014.
Congratulations to all!
Posted 20141108: Peter Mackenzie has produced a comprehensive Umpiring Report for AGM - which poses several questions which merit study in advance. Copy available, as ever, from the AGM page.
Posted 20141105: Ahead of AGM on 15th November, Andy Crawford's Bilan Moral has been added to Treasurer Stephen Harrison's customary financial documents for the AGM. These are available for study - together with the Secretary's report and proposals - via the AGM page.
Posted 20140928: With the introduction of the T20 competition in 2012 there are now 3 trophies at stake each season. But no club has yet won all three.
Until today, that is, when B-GCC won the final of the Siddalls League down at Seissan. The data are on the Results page; and there you'll see why Alex Smith was worthy of the Man-of-the-Match tankard.
Time to lower the curtain on yet another season and look forward to the Indoor competitions which will kick off season 2015.
- But there's still the AGM to come! On Saturday 15th November.
Posted 20140908: Yesterday was semi-finals day in the Siddalls League competition, and it was a day for the bowlers to remember, as you will see from the Results page.
Posted 20140902: There are now 2 trophies on the shelves of B-GCC's clubhouse!
Last Sunday's Siddalls Cup Final saw Eymet's bowlers make B-GCC bat into the final over before overtaking Eymet's first-innings score (Eymet deprived at the very last minute of 3 key players....).
That's 4 times in the last 5 years that B-GCC have lifted the Siddalls Cup..... getting to be a habit!
Will they be the first club to carry off all 3 trophies in a single season?
Match summary on the Results page.
Posted 20140825: The first of this season's trophies has a name on it! Yesterday saw B-GCC win (for the second year running) the T20 tournament. A great day out at Eymet, on a revelation of a grassy outfield, with many big hits in a total of 736 runs scored off 113 overs bowled, with some spectacular fieldng in between. See the Results page for details.
Posted 20140818: The region has a new Umpiring Manager! See the Umpiring page (where else?) for details.
Which prompts a reminder that candidate-umpires (much needed!) are invited to sign up for the one-day Introductory class that is planned for 18th October. Club presidents know all about why this class is so important.....
In a nutshell, without additional umpires there will be far, far fewer competitive matches organised in 2015. It's as simple as that.
Details from the new man, of course!
Posted 20140817: Congratulations to no fewer than 6 of our young men, who have just enabled the French U19 squad to win an international tournament held up in the Paris region. Under Daniel Notts' (SAC) captaincy, the team recovered from a first-match loss against the Swiss, to beat Germany and Belgium in the other pool matches and then to beat the Belgians again, in the final.
Hats off to James Dawkins (TCC) who took wickets in every match; Lucien Calkin (Midi) who opened the batting and then notched up 5 stumpings & 5 catches behind; Rémi Rocher (Mansle) for catches and early-match wickets; and Kashif Muhammad (B-GCC) and Bilal Mian (SAC) for tidy bowling and 6 catches between them.
Posted 20140810: This year's final of the Siddalls Cup will be between B-GCC and Eymet. These two last met in a Cup Final in ... 1995! And Eymet will be hoping for a repeat win?
Details of B-GCC's semi-final win over A-BCC - with bowlers very much on top - are on the Results page. Eymet, for their part, got a walk-over owing to Midi's most regrettable inability to field a side on either of rhe two scheduled dates.
And now for something completely different: Follow the fortunes of several of our younger players as they represent France in the imminent U19 tournament. From here.
Posted 20140804: The semi-finalists in this year's League competition are now known: see Results page.
Posted 20140721: Congratulations to Bilal Mian of SAC, called up to the French U19 squad for matches in August.
Three of this year's four semi-finalists in the Siddalls cup are now known. B-GCC enjoyed fine weather and a share in a high-scoring match at Mansle; A-BCC beat Catus on run-rate after a downpour; while SAC and Eymet did not even get started up at storm-tossed Chenaud. Details, as ever, on the Results page.
Posted 20140707: After yesterday's matches up at Chenaud, we now know the three clubs which have made it through to the final of this year's T20 competition. Details are on the Results page.
Posted 20140624: Congratulations are also in order for one of our very few lady cricketers - Alice Letertre-Gibert, now a member of B-GCC - who has been selected as a member of the French national squad for 2014.
Posted 20140603: Congratulations to Robin Murphy of Catus for being selected to represent France at senior level this year. He'll be heading off to Holland in the near future for a European tournament. With all our best wishes!
Posted 20140511: France Cricket have announced the squad for the 4-nation junior tournament to be held in the Paris region in August.
Once again, our young men have impressed, with 4 out of the 14 core members, plus both of the reserves.
So, hats off to Danny Nott of SAC, reconfirmed as captain; Mohammed Afzal of B-GCC; Lucien Calkin of Midi and James Dawkins of Toulouse; with Kashif Muhammad of B-GCC and Rémi Rocher of Mansle waiting in the wings.
Good luck to them all!
Posted 20140413:
- Just before the official matches start is a good time to remind clubs to check out that your first-aid box is completely stocked (and that any medicaments are not beyonnd their best-by date). And think about getting one or more club members qualified on the Red Cross "Gestes qui sauvent" programme.
- Important! There's yet another new number to contact if you have the misfortune to have to record a claim on your federal insurance. The Federal Insurers have signed up with a different broker, a company called Capdet Raynal. Be ready to quote your club name and federal number, plus the licence number(s) of any person(s) involved. The number is 01.44.83.87.74 and the e-mail address is shown at the bottom of the claim form that you must use: copy here, taken from the FFBS Web site.
Posted 20140308: Several separate items to bring to clubs' attention:
- All clubs have successfully enrolled in the 2014 tournaments.
- Bidding to host final phase matches has closed. ACCSO Committee is looking at the bids and will pronounce shortly.
- Clubs are reminded that licence renewals cost 10% more as from 16th March. And that's also when the FFBS start checking up on club licence numbers (the magic number is 12 competition licences!).
- The S-W was well-represented at FC's AGM on 1st March: 7 clubs issued mandates & proxies, for which thanks!
- The Results page carries the results of the established pre-season Indoor events at St Astier and Seissan.
- Now, on a gloriously sunny day, the outdoor season seems just around the corner.......
Posted 20141117: All 2013 material from this page has now been archived. A copy can be seen from here.
Posted 20130818: Did you ever want to know what it takes to be selected to play cricket for France? Or whether to be offended if somebody calls you a "pie-chucker"? The answers to both questions are to be found on the Good to Know! page.
Posted 20120702: The Good to Know! page contains advice and guidance on playing (and training) in very hot weather conditions. Reading by captains and umpires is strongly recommended.
Posted 20120426: New guidance has been issued to our umpires on how to call balls which pitch off the mat. The full text is to be found on the Umpiring page; and the Match Day Actions document has been modified accordingly (see the Regulations page).
Posted 20120419: Anybody trained in your club in "Les Gestes qui Sauvent"? If in doubt, ask at your local pharmacy.
The page dedicated to useful addresses and things-worth-knowing has been refreshed. In particular there's a link to a site offering free insurance to the non-playing members of your clubs; and also new sources of information and guidance about the running of "Loi 1901" associations. Why not take a look at the Good to Know! page? - from here.
We have struck a deal with an excellent supplier - Surridge's. All clubs affiliated to France Cricket are eligible for a 50% discount, on the entire catalogue.

There have been several posts over the past few weeks discussing college / university education. Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius stated:
[T]he faster job growth among college graduates is entirely due to faster growth in the size of the college-educated population; the employment/population ratio among college graduates has in fact fallen sharply,
Here is a graph showing the relative growth of employment of college / university graduates (blue line) and high school dropouts (red line).
This post was accompanied by the the following graphic showing the differentials in the employment - population ratio.
This discussion needs additional context as the implication is that lower educated people's lot in life is improving, while higher educated people's potential is declining. Before going too far, be sure to note that 76% of college graduates are employed (compared to 58%+ for the total population), while the ratio for high school dropouts is just below 40%.
Whilst I am a lover of employment - population ratios to understand the jobs situation, one must be very careful when segregating these ratios into groups - as the groups themselves are changing in relative size. Another problem with using high school dropouts as a comparable group is that many dropouts are minimum wage earners (or worse). Should you encourage your kid to drop out of high school? A real comparison would be between high school graduates with no further education and college / university graduates with undergraduate degrees only.
Here one can understand these two groups were relatively similar in size in 2003, but currently the group of college / university graduates is now over 40% larger. This distorts the view of the employment - population ratios if one group is growing much faster than another group. And when one looks at the employment levels of the various groups the dynamics become even more apparent.
Employment (in real terms) has contracted for high school graduates since 2003, and trending up for university graduates.
I have never been a fan of believing a university education is the only key to financial success. Post high school education depends on the individual and opportunities. Many motivated youth could be better served by trade school and/or self-employment as opposed to building a student loan debt which will eat away any differential in potential earnings. But it is wrong to convey there is a general problem in employment for those with higher education. Clearly lower educated people make less money, and have significantly less job opportunities as they lack skills in general.
I does appear that one truth is evident - that business is not providing a job to all college / university graduates. Just getting any old degree may not be enough to get a job; it is becoming more important to get a degree that related to job at hand.
Other Economic News this Week:
The Econintersect economic forecast for May 2012 declined marginally, but remains in a zone which says the economy is beginning to grow normally. There are some warning signs that our interpretation is not correct - but we will see how these play out in the coming months.
The ECRI WLI growth index value has been weakly in positive territory for over four months - but in a noticeable improvement trend. The index is indicating the economy six month from today will be slightly better than it is today.
/images/z weekly_indexes.PNG
Initial unemployment claims rose from 323,000 (reported last week) to 360,000 this week. Historically, claims exceeding 400,000 per week usually occur when employment gains are less than the workforce growth, resulting in an increasing unemployment rate.
The real gauge – the 4 week moving average – modestly degraded from 336,750 (reported last week) to 339,250. Because of the noise (week-to-week movements from abnormal events AND the backward revisions to previous weeks releases), the 4-week average remains the reliable gauge.

Valuable pointers help industrial plant managers minimize downtime, maintain quality and safety
to improve operations
At some point in time, every industrial plant must bring in
an outside contractor to do specialized work such as boiler
blasting, concrete waterproofing and ceiling painting that
in-house manpower cannot perform on a cost-effective basis.
Such an option makes sense, in that many industrial operations
do not enjoy the luxury of reassigning staff to do
labor-intensive work that requires additional training. Nor
does facility management have at their ready disposal the
unique equipment required to perform major maintenance or
upgrade projects.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Yes, ethane cracking is less economical

Blue Ivy Carter becomes youngest ever on Billboard
FILE - In this Jan. 11, 2009 file photo, Beyonce, left, is joined by husband Jay-Z, as she arrives at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif. Through a rap verse, Jay-Z has confirmed the birth of "the most beautiful girl in the world" _ his newborn daughter. The song "Glory" made its debut on his social website Monday, Jan. 9, 2012, two days after he and Beyonce reportedly gave birth to a daughter, Blue Ivy. (AP Photo/Matt Sayles, file)
NEW YORK (AP) — She's not even a week old, but Blue Ivy Carter is already making music history.
Billboard says that thanks to her dad, Jay-Z, featuring her on his new song, "Glory," Blue becomes the youngest person to ever appear on its chart.
Jay-Z released the song about his first-born child with wife Beyonce on Monday, and it immediately became a viral sensation. The song, which credits B.I.C., features the sound of Blue's cries at the end.
The song's refrain is "The most amazing feeling I feel/Words can't describe what I'm feeling for real/ Maybe I paint the sky blue/My greatest creation was you. You. Glory."
Now, the song will enter Billboard's chart next week at No. 74.
Blue was born Saturday, and her parents confirmed her birth Monday.

Can you think like a developer?
It was a question posed by a client who bought a rental property, and wanted to completely upgrade the building, and planned to sell the property for a profit while I was in the midst of describing how we can add value to the building through new designs.
At the moment, I had to stop wearing the "architect's hat", but trying a new one: developer's/ investor's/ client's. Continue reading
How to wear head to toe design?
I have been pretty lucky with random networking meetings recently…It is not usually expected to meet a person at random events, and make connections. However, for some reasons (maybe it has to do with the temperature finally rising above minuses, and me going out for more networking events :)), I met many designers from various industries; fashion, interior design, and then most recently the jewelry design. It's always fascinating to learn about how they work, where their inspirations come from, as well as about the designers themselves. In addition, using their design skills to build their businesses is an intriguing story, I never get tired of hearing about. As a designer /entrepreneur myself, the final point about "building their business", I am incessantly curious how they are bringing these two roles to their work and life.
Jewelry Designer, Laurie Fleming laurieflemingjewellery.com is such a person who is building her business using her design skills. Please check out her beautiful website for all her creations and make sure to pick up a few pieces! And also to ask her all the questions you have about all things' jewelry design!
As you already know, I'm always curious about how all of us designers work and where their ideas come from, whether it is creating a beautiful jewelry piece, or trying to make sense of organizing the building floor plans in my case.
Check out her views on her work, design, life, etc. in her own words.
Why you need to have Hat Attitude!
Design is Design!
I have always believed in the sentiment above…. Well, more correctly design processes work the same in all design fields; start from the ideas, and then those get translated into visual images of sketches, physical models, etc. and then finally seeing the physical outcome of your idea. They work the same in whether designing a building, dress, or a hat!
I have also enjoyed meeting various designers, and learned about how their thinking process started and eventually arriving at the final product. I met such a designer, Amparo Findlay (hatitude.ca), and poked her thoughts on all things related to hat design,
hat attitude, hatitude. Here is Amparo's story on building the hat empire…. Continue reading

AODA clock ticking started on Jan. 1, 2015
The holidays are a distant memory now.
Now I am in the thick of my "work mode" after surviving the holidays; having too much of everything – food, gifts, and the infamous annual new year's resolutions which "keep" getting updated. However, there was one constant topic that was kept popping up at the work since December last year: AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) implementation starting on the first day of this year. I had been getting a few different phone calls from my past, as well as potential clients with this particular question and its implication to their projects: What is AODA? Of course, the question always follows with "do I need to consider this AODA thing for my project?" Continue reading

TORONTO (AP) -- Justin Bieber was charged Wednesday with assault for allegedly hitting a Toronto limousine driver several times in the back of the head last month, just hours after his attorney entered a separate not guilty plea in Florida to drunken-driving and other charges.
Bieber turned himself in to a Toronto police station, arriving amid a crush of media and screaming fans. He was charged with one count of assault and is scheduled to appear in court in Toronto on March 10.
Police allege Bieber was one of six people who were picked up by a limousine from a nightclub in the early morning hours of Dec. 30, and there was an altercation while en route to a hotel. Police said during the altercation one of the passengers hit the limo driver in the back of the head several times.
"The driver stopped the limousine, exited the vehicle and called police," a statement said. "The man who struck him left the scene before police arrived."
Howard Weitzman, Bieber's attorney in California, said his client is innocent and declined to comment on the allegations against Bieber or any potential defense, saying it was now a matter for the court to handle. Weitzman said he expects the case to be treated as a summary offense, which is the equivalent of a misdemeanor in the United States. Brian Greenspan, Bieber's Canadian attorney, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Toronto police said in late December they were looking into allegations that a member of Bieber's entourage assaulted a limo driver who was ferrying the Canadian pop star and several others. Police said at the time it was unclear whether Bieber was involved.
On Wednesday, Bieber emerged from a black SUV wearing a winter coat and a backwards ball cap before being led through a throng of police and reporters. Many waited for his arrival for more than an hour in freezing temperatures. He spent about an hour and a half in the police station before leaving through a back exit.
It was yet another sign of the crazy lifestyle that has taken over Bieber's image.
RELATED: Justin Bieber's highs and lows
Earlier on Wednesday, Bieber pleaded not guilty in Florida to charges of driving under the influence after driving nearly twice the speed limit on a Miami Beach street. He also pleaded not guilty to resisting arrest and driving with an expired license.
The Canadian pop star lately has drawn more attention for his brushes with the law than for his music. His arrival at the Toronto police station was no different -- the singer debuted a music video for his song "Confident" on Wednesday afternoon, just as news of his expected arrest was breaking.
Bieber remains under investigation for felony vandalism in Los Angeles County over an egg-tossing episode that damaged his neighbor's home. Detectives searched his home on Jan. 14, and prosecutors have sought additional information before determining whether to pursue charges.
RELATED: Stars react to Justin Bieber's arrest
The cases have overshadowed the recent release of his latest album. Its reception has been far from the chart-topping success Bieber had after he debuted in 2009, with multiple platinum albums.
Last year, Bieber made headlines for everything from clashing with a paparazzo to fainting at a show to being photographed smoking marijuana. The paparazzo is suing Bieber for assault and battery.
German authorities charged him thousands of dollars after he abandoned a pet monkey that they seized from him for failing to have proper vaccination papers.
The singer also had to apologize to Bill Clinton after cursing the former president and spraying his photo with cleaning fluid in a New York City restaurant kitchen.
Bieber was discovered through a YouTube video of him performing, and his career has been guided by a pair of music industry heavyweights, singer Usher and manager Scooter Braun. He has been nominated for two Grammy Awards for his 2010 full-length album debut "My World 2.0," but his popularity has waned.
Braun tweeted Wednesday evening, "i ask people to be kind and hope for the best in people. not assume the worst. Thanks."
Jon Bollock, a 14-year-old fan waiting for Bieber to arrive outside the Toronto police station, said he wanted to see Bieber but said "it's pretty embarrassing for Canada."

Murder Most Foul
The saga of Maurice Clemmons, a deeply troubled and violent man finally came to an end this morning, when he was shot and killed by a Seattle Police Officer. Clemmons was the prime suspect, and was being pursued by police for the brutal murder of 4 Lakewood Policemen Sunday as they sat in a coffee shop before their shift.
Suspected cop killer slain by police
Investigators said they believed Clemmons — who had a violent criminal history in Arkansas and Washington — was aided by a network of friends and family before he was killed at about 2:40 a.m. Tuesday.
Pierce County Sheriff's Det. Ed Troyer said his agency had arrested three people for rendering criminal assistance to Clemmons and had taken a getaway driver into custody.
"We expect to have maybe six or seven people in custody by the day's end," Troyer added. "Some are friends, some are acquaintances, some are partners in crime, some are relatives. Now they're all partners in crime."
On Monday, officers detained a sister of Clemmons who they think treated the suspect's gunshot wound.
"We believe she drove him up to Seattle and bandaged him up," Troyer said.

King of Pop… Dead by Manslaughter
As has hit every news outlet in the world by now, Michael Jackson's death has been ruled Manslaughter, which is to say…
Police have yet to establish a motive for the crime, beyond malpractice by MJ's Doctor – Dr. Conrad Murray. What is apparent though, is that significant portions of Dr. Murray's initial testimony to police don't stand up to closer scrutiny.
Whether other people were involved, or whether there was a plot of some sort appears to be pure conjecture at this point. Conjecture which morbidly will likely become legend as time goes on.
The most damning evidence against Dr. Murray is the timeline established by police and sequence of events leading to MJ's death – Read the rest of this entry »
Michael Jackson's Doctor May Have Been His Pusher
Saw a report last night that claimed Jackson was paying Dr. Murray $150,000 a month – but that Murray had several defaulted debts in the $400,000 range…
$150k a month will buy a whole lot of poison.
Agents descend on Vegas home of Jackson doctor
LAS VEGAS — Authorities searched the sprawling Las Vegas home and medical office of Michael Jackson's personal doctor Tuesday, seeking documents as part of a manslaughter investigation into the singer's death.
Los Angeles police and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents entered Dr. Conrad Murray's home in a gated community while others across town searched Murray's medical offices, Global Cardiovascular Associates Inc.
Michael Flanagan, assistant special agent in charge of the Las Vegas DEA office, said the warrants were sealed and he couldn't say what documents agents were seeking. He said he expected the search would last five hours.
It was the second time in less than a week that investigators targeted Murray's property. Last week in Houston authorities searched his clinic and storage. Court records show they were seeking evidence of whether the doctor committed manslaughter.
With toxicology reports pending, investigators are working under the theory that Murray gave Jackson the powerful anesthetic propofol to help him go to sleep, and the drug caused his heart to stop, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. Murray told investigators he administered propofol sometime in the early morning of June 25, the day Jackson died, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
The official told AP that Murray left the bedroom where Jackson was sedated and returned to find the star unresponsive.
Police have said Murray is cooperating and have not labeled him a suspect.
Gotta go with Nina here…

NARAL might un-invite Roraback to fundraiser over abortion comment
Andrew Roraback, Connecticut 5th District Congress candidate.
By Jordan Fenster, Staff Reporter
Andrew Roraback was invited to a Connecticut NARAL event Sunday, but language he used during a 5th District Republican debate may have gotten him uninvited.
Roraback has said, and repeated during a Monday debate, that while he finds abortion "personally repugnant," he remains pro-choice, and does not believe that the government should make that choice for women.
The event, scheduled for Sunday in Hartford, is called "Hartford County pro-choice men make brunch." Sitting legislators, including Roraback and 5th District Democratic candidate and Speaker of the House Chris Donovan, were invited to bring a prepared dish and schmooze with the abortion rights advocacy group's membership.
But Roraback's use of the word "repugnant" may mean the invitation is withdrawn.
"We'd certainly have to consider that. For somebody who is aspiring to higher office, our members would certainly have cause for concern to hear that kind of language, NARAL Connecticut's executive director, Christian Miron, said. "Repugnant means to find something abhorrent or loathsome. His language was extreme."
"The use of the word 'repugnant' was regrettable," Roraback said Wednesday. "It was a poor choice of words. It's obviously a difficult subject and personally, I have great difficulty with the subject. It was not my intent to be inflammatory."
NARAL had, from 2002 to 2008, given Roraback a 100 percent rating, endorsed the Republican in his state senate campaigns and holds an annual gala named in honor of Roraback's late cousin, Catherine Roraback.
Upon reading Roraback's quote, the organization responded on Facebook.
"Buried in this op-ed is a quote from Republican candidate for Congress, State Senator Andrew Roraback, characterizing abortion as "personally repugnant," NARAL wrote, referring to an op-ed by Terry Cowgill on CTNewsJunkie.com. "Do you trust someone who said that to stand up for a woman's right to choose?"
But Roraback said that his record speaks for itself, despite his choice of words at Monday's debate.
"I've been standing up for a woman's right to choose for 18 years and I will continue to do so as a member of congress," Roraback said in response. "The fact that the procedure and what it entails is something that I would never wish to be a party to doesn't diminish my conviction."
"Senator Roraback's choice of words does not square with his voting record or the way he's described his position in the past," Miron said. "I don't know if his statement is intended to score points with a very narrow and extreme segment of voters, but we believe Connecticut women and men deserve an explanation so they may draw their own conclusions as to his position on a woman's right to choose.
"We would certainly value a conversation with him about the importance of communicating pro-choice values in a way that's consistent with the position he's supported as a legislator."

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly referred to Catherine Roraback as Andrew Roraback's late aunt. She was his cousin.

Will the man stand by his statement, or will he back-pedal to avoid a controversy?
We'll be watching.
So NARAL wants people who are pro-choice to be proud and happy about abortion? These are twisted people if they can be happy about terminating a life.
Is it that difficult to say, "Whatever my personal feelings are on the subject, when it comes to making policy, I am pro-choice"? Oh, yes, it is difficult because it doesn't pander.
Naral supports murder.
Much unnecessary ado over a single, perfectly accurate word describing one's personal view. NARAL falls prey to the hypersensitive, PC lunacy that plagues altogether too much of the populace.
Grow a pair …
Can't have it both ways Andrew depending on who you are talking to. First the death penalty reversal and now sounding like a Republican on abortion. The things a career politician will do to win. Shameful.
Phony! Running to the right to win the primary won't work for you Andrew. We've got your number! Late term abortion, morning after pills at Catholic hospitals, etc. You should be in the Democratic primary!
What did your mother do to you?

Pingback: Pro-choice Dem gets ousted by NARAL for calling abortion "personally repugnant" « Saynsumthn's Blog
I am grateful to Andrew Roraback for his honest and, I believe, correct support for a woman's right to choose, especially given the fact that his personal feelings are in conflict with his position as a Senator. I agree with him that abortion decisions should not be in the purview of government. I am a grandmother, I was raised as an old – fashioned Christian in the Congregational Church, I am a proud liberal Democrat, I am a lifelong supporter of NARAL and Planned Parenthood. I had a baby when I was 17 years old who was handicapped, I have two wonderful daughters, and have had an abortion, in part, because I am the carrier of a genetic condition. I speak from experience.
The word repugnant can mean "objectionable" and in legal terms (isn't Senator Roraback also an attorney?) means "incompatible with" or "in conflict with". Some antonyms or opposites of repugnant are "inoffensive, attractive, and agreeable" none of which describe the reality of abortion. It is always a heart-wrenching experience for all involved and anyone who says otherwise is simply living in la-la land.
It is beneath Connecticut NARAL to uninvite Senator Roraback to their event. We must not just surround ourselves with sycophants and like-minded people. We need to enlighten those in power and, simply, define the moral high road on this issue. We teach by example, not by fiery rhetoric and argument. Women have the legal right to choose in this country. It is a right that must be protected.
If you're the carrier of a genetic condition and you knew- why did you let yourself get pregnant? There was nothing stopping you from using birth control. I'm just wondering. Moving on…
Why is abortion "always a heart-wrenching experience for all involved" if it's nothing more than a blob of medical waste that's being torn apart or chemically destroyed? Or is it that you feel a self-centered loss? I've met many woman and their families whose reaction was joy and relief after having an abortion. And why? They have been misled with half-truths and euphemisms.
The abortion decision clearly belongs in the purview of government. Simple biology tells us the human life begins at conception. The only thing that the NARAL and Planned Parenthood camps call into question is the personhood of the unborn child (yes it is an unborn child). It boggles the mind that organizations that purport to defend the rights of woman move so strongly to destroy the rights of someone so defenseless as an unborn child (including females). It is the duty of people and governments of conscience to protect all individuals.
Speaking of women's rights, since you support Planned Parenthood then you must have also supported them as they fought to keep funding for China's forced abortions. China citizens are also more likely to abort females than males. Jennifer what do you stand for?
You use glorious words like "enlighten" and "moral high road" while the organizations you support continue to hide the truth to protect their own agenda. You clearly have you head in the sand. Woman having abortions are not being told the truth. You only have to interview woman who realize what they have done after they learn the truth or see their first ultrasound, to know that woman being "enlightened" by either Planned Parenthood or NARAL. Yes Jennifer, we "teach by example" and hiding the truth is the primitive method used by Nazi's, racists and bigots to gain followers and hide the moral repugnancy of their causes.
Let NARAL keep Andrew Roraback those of us taking the true moral high road don't want him. We believe there is a better way to protect the weakest in society while maintaining the rights of all.

It seems history's forgotten Catherine Roraback's talents being used to free Ericka Huggins. Perhaps writers and commenters should do more research.. there's a lot more information pertaining to The New Haven Black Panther Trials than some of her other work. Andrew's a career politician.. time to go.

Yes, puppies are born with their patches but develop more spots as they get older. By 6 - 8 months their spots are fully in.
The average life-span of the English Setter is 10 - 12 years.

Yes, we are having the same problem. A well trained starving English Setter showed up at our house. He has been fully vetted with steroid injections, liquid vitamins for several weeks, and 3-4 meals a day to get healthy. It has been two months now and he itches and bites at himself all the time. We have 3 other dogs that have been with us (youngest is 7) and none of them had this issue, we do not have fleas or ticks, etc. We have tried different shampoos also. Nothing is working yet.
We had the same problem with one of our dogs. He was an older dog that had been inside his entire life. He was having the problem because of dry skin that was brought on by something in the house. He was allergic to something we cleaned with. When we decided to put him out more often, the problem stopped.
English Setters often have sensitive skin. Diet is extremely important to avoid allergic and other dermatological problems. Your vet will know what food to recommend.
In case anyone else has this issue of constantly itching skin, I have seen it progress to patches of warped skin, a greasy coat even within days of a bath, it can be nasty, and often vets take the wrong approach. Had this happen to two of my dogs, and the one who had the worst issues was the one who had seen the vet the most often. Certainly not every solution will fit every case, but seriously a shot at fixing an issue causing major discomfort on an ongoing basis for my dogs for less than $200, "yes please"!!

English Setters will shed and they probably shed more than other breeds like labs.
Setters are longer and easier to brush out or vacuum up and their temperament is quieter and more gentle.

I've attended the Campus Summit for the past 2 years. The first year I participated in an Emergency Simulation where we were assigned to different groups - journalists, headquarters, child protection, child survival - and we had to come up with a plan of how to respond to the emergency at hand. It was so eye opening to see how much pressure there is and how many decisions have to be made in such a short time when emergencies like earthquakes and tsunamis happen.
Both experiences have been really valuable learning experiences, but my favorite part is networking with fellow advocates who are working to help the world's children!

Lamar Odom arrested on DUI charges
Update 11:50 a.m.: CBS Los Angeles has statements from the police confirming the arrest.
"One of our officers observed a white Mercedes SUV driving eastbound on the 101, approaching Sepulveda. The vehicle was weaving in the lanes, driving at approximately 50 miles per hour," Officer Ming Hsu told KNX 1070.
Officers pulled Odom over around 3:25 a.m. after he exited the freeway at Coldwater Canyon Boulevard. He was arrested after he showed "objective signs or symptoms of intoxication and was unable to perform field sobriety tests as explained," Hsu said.
Officials believe the 33-year-old was driving under the influence of alcohol.Odom was booked at 5:01 a.m. at the Los Angeles Police Department's Valley Jail in Van Nuys.
"At the jail, Mr. Odom refused all chemical tests and was booked without further incident," according to the California Highway Patrol.
via Lamar Odom Arrested On Suspicion Of DUI « CBS Los Angeles.
10:30 a.m.: TMZ reports that free agent forward Lamar Odom, who is reportedly dealing with drug problems, was arrested early Friday on DUI charges.
Lamar Odom was arrested for DUI early Friday morning ... TMZ has learned.The bust occurred in the San Fernando Valley at 3:54 AM. Lamar was popped by the California Highway Patrol and taken to a nearby station, where he was booked and is being held on $15,000 bail.He was pulled over on the 101 Freeway for going too slow -- 50 MPH. Lamar did not respond to cops, and drove 3 exits before finally coming to a stop. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ he showed obvious signs of intoxication. Lamar failed numerous field sobriety tests. When Lamar was booked, were told he refused all chemical tests.
via Lamar Odom -- Arrested for DUI | TMZ.com.
This is unfortunately starting to look like one of those situations of a celebrity spiraling out of control. Maybe things aren't as bad as they're being made out to be, but the arrest on top of the drug reports and rumors of issues in his personal life paint an unfortunate picture.
Odom averaged four points, six rebounds, and two assists last year for the Clippers, and while he didn't play a huge role, did look serviceable more and more as the year went on. It had seemed like he was getting his career back together after the disastrous season in Dallas, but these problems go well beyond a jump shot.

Target 'victims' on alert
NEW YORK — An email sent to the roughly 70 million Target customers who may have been affected by a pre-Christmas data breach is causing panic among those who fear it could be an attempt to victimize them again.
Target said the email, which offers free credit-monitoring services to potential victims of the breach, is legitimate. But the company has identified a handful of scammers who are trying to take advantage of the public's fear and confusion.
Shawn Blakeman, 42, of Raleigh, N.C., received Target's email, but he didn't click on the link it contained "just in case it was some kind of a website that I couldn't get out of or had a hidden virus," he said.
Consumers have been on edge since news of the data breach broke last month. And they've been warned to be on alert for possible follow-up attacks that could come in the form of phishing emails, electronic messages designed to implant malicious software on their computers or draw them to websites that prompt them to enter personal information.
So when Target's email began circulating this week, many recipients questioned its authenticity. The email was especially suspicious to people who say they haven't set foot in a Target store in years.
Jim Reid, 60, of Minneapolis said he was a little nervous about clicking on the link in the email, and he questioned whether it was a good idea to send Target even more personal information when they were unable to protect it in the first place.
"There's too much uncertainty," Reid said. "They keep changing what they're saying about how many people were affected, about what kinds of information were stolen. It's obvious that they really don't know."
Consumers are right to be wary of emails purportedly sent by the retailer. Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said that in recent weeks, the retailer has stopped more than a dozen operations that sought to scam breach victims by way of email, phone calls and text messages.
Target said all of the letters it's sending to shoppers are posted on the company's website, along with information about what customers need to do to sign up for Target's free credit monitoring.
