WASHINGTON — Minutes after his inauguration speech Monday, President Barack Obama signed documents officially submitting top administration nominations to the Senate.
Obama affirmed the nominations of John Brennan to be CIA director, former Sen. Chuck Hagel for defense secretary, Sen. John Kerry to be secretary of state and Jack Lew for treasury secretary.
As he signed the nomination papers, Obama said, "I know they will be dealt with with great dispatch," eliciting laughter from the Republican leaders.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a confirmation hearing for Kerry on Thursday.
The Senate Armed Services Committee has scheduled a confirmation hearing for Hagel on Jan. 31. Brennan's hearing in the Senate Intelligence committee is Feb. 7.
The Senate Finance Committee has yet to schedule a hearing for Lew.

Cranes are heavy machinery used for heavy lifting or construction work that appear in some Grand Theft Auto games.
Interactive cranes
In Grand Theft Auto 1, cranes were positioned at the docks in the game. Cranes were used to transport vehicles onto a ship where the player was given varying amounts of money depending on the condition of the vehicle. They are meant to be a source of income other than the missions. They are also used in the missions of the game. The crane works by driving a vehicle under a designated area ane exiting when the crane starts moving and giving money when the vehicle is on the ship.
In Grand Theft Auto 2, cranes are used similarly to the way they are in GTA 1. A vehicle is driven under the crane and lifted into a certain area where money is awarded to the player. Instead of putting vehicles on a ship for export, the crane in GTA 2 drops vehicles into a car crusher. The awards given to the player are also more rewarding than in GTA 1 since certain vehickes offer some other rewards such as weaponry.
In Grand Theft Auto III, the crane is operated by an NPC at the Crusher. Players would need to park a vehicle in an area marked by old car tires. The NPC crane operator will then automatically pick up the car, and putt it into the crusher. The crusher would then close, as soon as the crane putts the vehicle inside of the crusher.
GTA San Andreas
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the player may use certain cranes around the State of San Andreas. The player can adjust the height and position of the object that the crane is holding (either a wrecking ball or a large magnet) and use it to smash/pickup objects.
GTA Chinatown Wars
In Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars during the mission Counterfeit Gangster, the player is requried to use a crane to dump cars in the water.
- In the Easter Basin Docks, if the player drives an export/import vehicle onto the red marker with the crane magnet still attached, it will cause a funny glitch. CJ will get out of vehicle as usual, when it's ready for exporting. But having the magnet on the car will cause the car to be hanging in the air, while CJ jumps and shouts as he gets out of the car. Even better, he will not be injured after his jump. (The car will still be successful exported even after this glitch.)
- Cranes appear in Grand Theft Auto V a few times, one in a screenshot at some docks above some shipping containers with Bigelco logos on them, the crane also bears the HVY logo.

North Carolina Gov.-elect Pat McCrory says he's confident he'll be able to work well with fellow Republicans at the General Assembly who expanded their majorities on election night.
McCrory says he also wants to reach out to Democrats.
He spoke Wednesday to reporters in his hometown of Charlotte the morning after he defeated Democrat Walter Dalton in the governor's race. The former Charlotte mayor will become the state's first GOP governor in 20 years in January.
Legislative Republicans gained at least eight seats in the state House and one in the Senate.
House Speaker Thom Tillis says McCrory's policy priorities are similar to those of GOP legislative leaders.
McCrory said he would not discuss specific issues until after he announced his transition team leaders Thursday in Raleigh.

Previous Story
Pat McCrory will be the first Republican governor in North Carolina in 20 years.
Unofficial results show McCrory won the governor's race on Tuesday over Democrat Walter Dalton.
The former Charlotte mayor had 55 percent of the vote compared to Dalton -- the sitting lieutenant governor -- at 43 percent with 2.2 million votes counted. Libertarian Barbara Howe had less than 2 percent.
McCrory is the former Charlotte mayor who ran unsuccessfully against Democrat Beverly Perdue in 2008. Perdue didn't seek re-election this year, setting the stage for McCrory. McCrory benefited from a repeat run for governor and a sizeable cash advantage over Dalton.
Jim Martin was the last Republican governor, leaving office in 1993. McCrory will take the oath of office in January.

Dual Enrollment Helps High School Students Reduce College Costs
The Dual Enrollment program at Volunteer State Community College provides high school students the opportunity to take college courses while still in high school. "Dual Enrollment is a great way for high school students to get a head start on college as they save on the cost of tuition," stated Michael Powell, director of Vol State at Livingston.
High school juniors and seniors who meet the academic requirements may enroll in college courses and the college credits earned can be simultaneously applied to college and high school graduation.
The courses, taught by Vol State faculty, may be available at the high school campus, at the college campus, or online. Some courses offered are English Composition I and II, American History I and II, Elementary Statistics, Psychology, and Music Appreciation.
Taking college classes while still in high school can help ease the transition from high school to college and may reduce the time and money that is spent on college. By earning Vol State credits or transferring the credits to other post-secondary institutions, students may complete their college degree sooner. Some students graduate with as many as 24 college credits; approximately 25 percent of a bachelor's degree completed while in high school. The cost of dual enrollment classes at Vol State is nearly half the cost of a four year university. A dual enrollment grant, offered by the State of Tennessee for eligible students, can offset the cost of these college classes.
Interested students should contact their high school guidance counselor to determine if they meet the academic standards and for course selection. The College offers dual enrollment courses throughout the Vol State coverage area.

There is no political solution to the mess we're in.
I've said it. Outloud. There's not a political solution for us. None whatsoever. So all this partisan posturing a lot of wasted energy. But it won't stop, because our "leaders" won't accept that there is no political solution. They can't. It would be like an evangelical coming to terms with there being no god. Not gonna happen.
America is in decline, precisely because of the political nonsense we've been subjected to for years, decades now. It's not yet settled how we'll eventually fall, and, ironically enough, it will be the choices our clueless leaders make that determine our fate.
Will we decline gracefully, like Britain, shrinking to a solidly contained unit that still battles on, but no longer the major player on the world stage it once was? Or will we crash and burn like an arrogant Rome, utterly certain of its own invincibility right up until the bitter end?
That's the reason our political debate still has merit. I don't know about you, but I'm thinking the British path is far better than the Roman one.
Funny, isn't it, after the Revolution and all that came after it, that the United Kingdom is on much firmer ground now than we are, and still with a monarchy (of sorts).
Of course the UK still has its problems, political and otherwise. But it no longer sees itself as an empire, a shining beacon to the rest of the world. Not even David Cameron, the conservative prime minister, lays claim to that conceit.
Quite unlike our own conservatives, who, actually, believe America is declining but can't see that it's their own castles in the sand that are slowly deteriorating. Instead, the conservarati blame liberals and progressives for what ails us.
Pity that. It's a rotten shame that the very fools who led us into this mess may well be the ones to whom we hand over the reigns so they can finish the job they started.
I know, I know, our so-called liberal president and congress (at least according to the conservarati) can't tell their own asses from the holes in the ground left by the conservatives for the past 30 years. We progressives are rightly frustrated, angry even.
But if you think for one moment … y'know, never mind. I was going to give you that tired old screed about voting for the Democrats even though they're fucking traitors and cowards, but just this moment I've changed my mind. Go ahead. If you want to stay home in November to show those fucktards a thing or two, go ahead. Vote for the other guy, even. But do so with your eyes open — the Republican Congress we get in 2011 will be the worst we've ever seen. And Obama will have no choice but to go along with them, just like Clinton in 1995, if he hopes to win in 2012.
Here's what you can expect:
- At least some repeal of the health care legislation, if not all.
- At least some repeal of the financial reform legislation, if not all.
- More Congressional hearings on "scandals" than you can possibly imagine.
- More good people driven from their jobs because of the conservarati noise machine than ever in the history of this country.
- Less protections for those who need it most.
- More spying, more torture and no attempt to hide it.
- Less regulation on business.
- No enforcement on regulations already in effect.
- Drilling in ANWR.
- More offshore deepwater drilling.
- No money for innovation and invention.
- More war.
- Less civility.
- More hate.
- An anti-gay marriage Constitutional amendment.
- A hogtied Justice Department.
- More tax cuts for the rich.
And that's just what the national GOP has told us about. To really prepare for the coming … ah, I almost said "holocaust," and even though it's a perfectly legitimate word that is capitalized when referring to what the Nazis did, in America we're not allowed to use real words to describe what the conservarati do. So, to really prepare for the coming conservative majority, you need to look at the state and local level. Fortunately for us, Tana Ganeva at AlterNet has already done that. Make that part of your recommended reading list. It reads like a Glenn Beck show featuring Michelle Bachmann, Tony Perkins and the conspiracy theorist down the street who has concrete barricades in front of his house.
Among the things these Teapublicans want is for the United States to withdraw from all U.N. treaties (along the way to withdrawing from the United Nations completely and kicking the organization out of the country), including the ones protecting children from things like abuse and being used as soldiers.
As Ganeva says at the end of the article, just how long do you think it will be before Eric Cantor and John Boehner bring this shit to a national platform? Think carefully before you answer, and look carefully at the direction the Grand Old Party is moving.
Remember that these are the people who think that the country can afford $700 billion in tax cuts for the rich but can't afford $33 million for unemployment. These are the people who deny that the BP oil spill is a catastrophe and that we're in an economic crisis. These are the people who want a year-long moratorium on regulation, on their way to a permanent moratorium. These are the people who want an offset for that $33 million for unemployment, during an economic crisis, but won't even consider any of that offset coming from the $70 billion war machine, which we all know is one of the most corrupt and messed up systems in the world.
And no wonder. It's run by these very same people and their friends.
If you understand all that, then you have my blessing to help them return to power. Maybe that's what we need, to really hit bottom. Unfortunately, it's gonna mean more innocent people lose their jobs, get sick and can't get health care, die. But that's OK, isn't it? It won't affect you, will it?
Will it?
It'll affect all of us. You know that, I know that. The question to ask ourselves is whether that's really what we want — to see America become the ugly, corporate-run monstrosity the conservatives want it to be — and no, it's not quite there yet, but it will be, and soon, if we let the Republicans take Congress.
Either way, 2012 will be the defining moment of this country. If we let them take charge again, and they do what they say they'll do, they'll be tarred and feathered and run out of Washington on a rail in 2012. And they'll be welcomed by the armed bands they've encouraged to be ready for a second civil war.
But if we stop them, America's decline and fall will soften to something more bearable, more comprehensible. We'll be on our way to assuming a more equitable place in the world, and we will survive it.
I don't need to run a bunch of quotes from the crazies here to remind you. But I do need to remind you that we must take them seriously. I was visiting my parental units in their rural abode a couple of weeks ago. Political ads were all over the television, and they all boiled down to "I believe in god, vote for me." That's enough for the folks around there — for some of 'em, anyway. But even my "I-voted-for-Bush-twice" parents can't stomach those ads. They're voting for the guy who said simply that we live in troubled times, he's led both a company and a city in troubled times and that's what we need now. I don't blame 'em. I'd vote for him too over the other guys, even though he's a Republican too.
But elections and voting won't fix the mess we're in. That's gonna take a long hard look at who we are and what we want. We progressives need to start and persuade the others to follow us. It's happened before.
At the turn of the last century, the people voted in the same kind of "love god, love business, love the rich" politicians we have now. Thirty years later, they took a mighty turn toward the progressive. The conservarati, angry and shagrined, have been fighting it ever since.
It's time now to put them out of their misery.

Ameda Flexishield Areola Stimulators

I have small breasts/nipples, and pumping with hard flanges just hurt, hurt, hurt, even after trying several different sizes. And, of course, pain is counter-productive to milk let-down... :(
But after receiving these areola stimulator, pumping became so much less painful, almost comfortable, and my milk output increased drastically too! I will never pump without these again.

A truly lovely ensemble! I love that gorgeous crocheted skirt.
On the subject of macrame, I've noticed a fashion trend recently where designers like Ralph Rucci and Lorenzo Riva have begun including macramed panels in gowns and tops. There's also a retrospective on Mary McFadden in Washington D.C.; she used macrame to great effect in some of her timeless pieces.
If it holds any interest for you, check out my blogposts on this subject at:

A group of Hispanic workers claim FPM Heat Treating assigned them to the hottest and hardest jobs in the plant because of their nationality.
The federal suit was filed Tuesday and alleges the company subjected the Hispanic workers to unfair treatment and denied them lunch and other breaks afforded to other workers.
If found guilty, FPM could face a $200,000 fine for each worker it discriminated against.

(NBC News) It's a surfer's paradise along the Southern California coast.
Epic sized swells are being created by Hurricane Marie, churning hundreds of miles away in the ocean. Once a Category 5 storm, it's still packing a powerful punch.
"This is extremely rare," says Captain Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority. "During the winter we get significant storms here, but during the summer this is the first time in over 25 years we have every had a summer storm like this cause damage, this significant along the coastline."
It's not just the West Coast getting hit with high surf. Hurricane Cristobal is churning in the Atlantic, causing rip currents and high tides from Florida through the Midatlantic states. It's expected to impact the northeast by the end of the week.

At the October 17, 2005 Letters & Science Colloquium, Chancellor Robert Birgeneau expressed strong support for maintaining Berkeley's excellent reputation for excellence not only in research, but also in undergraduate education, and he confirmed his commitment to continue providing world class public education to the citizens of California. Following his talk, he fielded questions from the audience of faculty, staff, and students.
After a year as chancellor at Berkeley, Birgeneau has developed warm relationships with students as both teacher and chancellor. He characterized Cal students as "engaged and engaging," adding that students at Berkeley consistently demonstrate a desire to transfer their acquired skills to their society. He expressed particular admiration for the "huge sense of community involvement" he has found here, more than at any other school where he has taught and called the Berkeley student body "inspiring" in this regard.
Discussing undergraduate education in general, Chancellor Birgeneau identified three elements as critical components of a successful undergraduate experience: teaching, research, and learning. Elaborating on the first, he stressed the paramount importance of excellent teaching, coupled with world-class research activity, in an environment where "research enhances teaching and teaching enhances research." In the past, as a departmental chair and now as chancellor, Bigeneau has always encouraged first-tier researchers to teach undergraduate courses and become actively involved in undergraduate education. At Berkeley, Chancellor Birgeneau commended the freshman seminar program and the L&S Discovery Courses as two vital campus venues that bring Distinguished Teaching Award winners, Nobel Prize laureates, and MacArthur Genius Award recipients into direct contact with undergraduates as instructors in a wide range of fields across the curriculum. Birgeneau acknowledged Berkeley's pre-eminence in the second component, research, and expressed his ongoing commitment to involve undergraduates in scholarship and research whenever possible. For the third element, learning, to flourish, Birgeneau asserted that it is not enough to have outstanding and inspiring teachers, but that it is necessary to have extraordinary and gifted students as well. Students can find inspiration as much from the student sitting in the next seat as they can from the faculty at the front of the class, the Chancellor observed.
Chancellor Birgeneau expressed great optimism for Berkeley's future. The campus, he said, has always attracted the brightest and best young faculty and continues to do so today, despite mounting resource limitations faced by the University in a difficult economic climate. Birgeneau repeated his appreciation of the "extraordinary and gifted students" he has found at Berkeley, emphasizing the need for diversity in the student body and acknowledging that much work needs to be done to rectify recent setbacks to equal access for all qualified applicants to Berkeley. Birgeneau pledged to work actively to find ways to increase representation of African Americans, Chicanos, and Native Americans in the student body, calling the current state of affairs in that regard "a disgrace." More than an issue of fairness, diversity in social, cultural, financial, and religious areas is a necessity if the undergraduate experience at Berkeley is to foster in each student a level of multicultural competency, which the Chancellor identified as an essential requirement in anyone whom he would regard as a truly educated person.
Birgeneau characterized the well-educated undergraduate as "one who knows where he or she came from, where he or she is now, and where he or she is going." From the tone of his talk at the Collquium, it seems fair to say that he has found that kind of student at Berkeley and that he will strive to make that a possibility for every undergraduate to come.
You can view a webcast of the Chancellor's presentation here.
The L & S colloquia, which take place once or twice each semester, provide opportunities to learn about and discuss the overarching issues affecting undergraduate education at U C Berkeley. For more information on upcoming or past programs, contact Alix Schwartz at firstname.lastname@example.com or (510) 642-8378.

Clercon, I like your maps. I have little doubt it will be a stunner when complete. I did have a few questions/observations from a realism point of view you might want to keep in mind as you draw your map:
The first question that comes to mind--what's the scale? Are these two cities a mile or two apart or are they 20 miles apart?
Second, if the cities are less than a mile or two apart, why is the canal between them so wavy? If the canal is man made, then it would likely have been dug as straight as possible, the only reason it would be that wavy was if the landform and terrain required it (which to be honest, is the explanation you might want to run with--your canal looks far more "interesting" than a straight line would be).
Third, where are the locks? Although the two bodies of water on either side of Ankh Bator are likely close to the same height (for example at the Panama Canal, the Pacific is 20 cm higher than the Atlantic or about 8 inches), locks would facilitate two way traffic by moderating or eliminating a strong current and enabling horses, donkeys or whatever tow system you want to rig up to tow the ships from end to end (lookup the Erie Canal), they also can slow, moderate, or stop a storm surge from wiping out everything along the canal.
Fourth, and this point ties into question two, is this piece of land the continental divide between two or more tectonic plates? I know it sounds a bit over the top, but Panama is, which is why it is so mountainous. If that is the case with Ankh Bator, the central part of the canal would be higher than either end. You'd just need to find a source of water to keep the canal running (Panama's is the massive amount of rainfall (69 inches a year) that keeps Gatun Lake filled). Perhaps there is some massive dwarven waterworks, aqueduct or similar system--just the thing requiring hardy adventurers when it starts developing problems.....
Fifth, and I know this is early in the process, the canal will likely have towpaths on either side (or at least one side). There should also be markets. One final consideration is defense. Although the city is in the middle of a powerful nation If I remember your first reference to it correctly, what is to keep raiders attacking either on land or sea? City walls may not be necessary if the land the city is in has been at peace for a long time, but there should be at least some sea forts to deal with the marauding riff raff.
Regardless, I'm curious to see how this develops. Good luck.

A mysterious Pokémon is terrorizing Dewford Town's beach. Ash and friends set many traps for the terror and discover its identity, Corphish. Will Ash and his friends be able is capture the feisty Water-type Pokémon, or will it set them out to dry?
James and Meowth are very cheerful today, since it is a good day to catch Ash's Pikachu. Jessie, however, thinks they should just relax for a while. Even Jessie's Wobbuffet is relaxing, despite James and Meowth being annoyed. While they discuss what should they do, something attacks them, blasting them off.
Ash and Pikachu are cheerful as well, as they can train more. They wash their faces from water from Brock's Lotad it has been carrying on its head. Ash trains his Pokemon concentration - something that Brawly used to defeat him. Everybody is doing chrores, except Ash who is practicing. Ash's Taillow begins to react, but Ash calms it down, since the wave is approaching too far away. When the wave is about to strike, everybody goes away, but they got hit by the wave anyway.
They do it one more time, and while Ash, Pikachu and Taillow go away, Treecko gets hit by the wave, as it didn't react in time. May says that they'll succeed in time, to which Ash thinks she should do it as well. Max supports Ash, but May practices how the Pokemon should get out of their Pokeball for the contests. May (making a show) brings Torchic and Wurmple, but they goof around.
May is angry for that, but others explain that it is only one Pokemon that can be released, but she tells them that it is the style of the attack. However, someone is digging through the tent, destroying it. Pikachu is about to use Thunderbolt, but it would burn the tent, so May's Wurmple uses String Shot, slowing the burglar down. However, the burglar is quite fast, so Wurmple cannot hold it much longer. Treecko holds Wurmple, but the burglar still moves.
Everybody helps to slow the burglar down, but it still moves with amazing speed, making them fall into the sea. Their cloths and food are wet, so they make speculations what Pokemon it was. Ash is confident that he'll catch the Pokemon, even if May thinks it is a bad idea. team Rocket is hurt by the attack. When Jessie takes Wobbuffet back, she sees the same thing it attacked them before. Jessie goes to attack the Pokemon, but stumbles upon a Loudred who blasts them off.
May is quite sleepy, since they wait for the Pokemon to come. Max suggests her to sleep in the tent, but she is scared that it might attack her. Pikachu hears that the Pokemon is coming, but realizes too soon that it is coming behind them, so they got hit. It pushes the Pokemon food and chases May. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but it disappears.
The gang is tired, since they did not sleep through the night. Ash thinks that the Pokemon will come back. Brock's Forretress begins to dig holes to capture the Pokemon, even if this was Team Rocket's plan. Something arrives, covered in seaweed and eats the Pokemon food. Brock sets more food, so they come and eat it. The creatures are Team Rocket. However, soon enough the Pokemon arrives, blasting them off.
Pikachu uses Quick Attack to attack the Pokemon - the burglar was a Corphish. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but Corpish evades the attack. Corphish uses Bubble Beam, attacking Pikachu. Corphish digs and attacks Pikachu once more. Pikachu uses Iron Tail, but Corphish catches Pikachu's tail and it waves Pikachu in air and it releases him on Ash's face.
Ash brings Treecko and it waits for Corphish to attack. May and Max think it is not the best idea, but Brock supports Ash. Corphish attacks with Bubble Beam, but Treecko deflects the attack with its tail. Corphish uses Claw Hammer, to which Treecko uses Quick Attack. Treecko uses Pound, knocking Corphish down. Ash throws the Pokeball and he catches the Corphish. Ash thanks Treecko for assistance and sends Corphish, greeting it. Corpish waves Ash's hand, but it is too strong, so it throws Ash behind.

Clegane's Keep
this wiki
Clegane's Keep is a castle in the Westerlands. It is the seat of House Clegane, a knightly house holding fealty to House Lannister of Casterly Rock. The castle is located south-east of Casterly Rock in the heart of the Westerlands.[1] It was awarded to the first Ser Clegane, formerly a kennelmaster at Casterly Rock, for saving the current Lord Lannister from a lion attack.[2]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the location of Clegane's Keep has not been revealed. However, according to George R.R. Martin it does lie in the approximate same location as the TV series, south-east of Casterly Rock.

The skin covers the entire body, and acts as a protective barrier. Skin grafts may be recommended for:
The most common sites of harvest for skin grafts are the buttocks and inner thigh, areas which are usually hidden and therefore cosmetically less important.
While the patient is awake, sleepy (sedated), or deep asleep and pain-free (local anesthesia or general anesthesia), healthy skin is taken from the selected donor site on the patient's body using a dermatome (skin-cutting instrument).
The graft is carefully spread on the bare area to be covered. It is held in place either by gentle pressure from a well-padded dressing or by a few small stitches. The raw donor area is covered with a sterile nonadherent dressing for 5-7 days to protect it from infection. The donor area heals on its own within 2-3 weeks.
Skin grafts usually heal with little scarring, and often look similar to surrounding normal skin.

Despite finishing the continental netball championship on a runners-up spot, the International Federation of Netball Associations, IFNA, has been impressed by the standard of the game attained by the country.
IFNA's African regional development manager Joan Smit said Tanzania stands a great chance to improve its current global and continental ranking.
The new rankings will be released by IFNA next February as Smit remained optimistic over a drastic improvement.
She said the standard of the game displayed during the week-long championship has exhibited how the country is making progress towards new heights in netball.
Smit said Taifa Queen's performance at the tournament have been marvelous as it showed maturity and technical greatness.
IFNA rakings are revised every eight months and the new release is expected early next year.
The home side emerged overall runners-up breezing past Lesotho, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. The team lost to holders and eventual winners Malawi. Zambia were third, Botswana fourth, Zimbabwe fifth and Lesotho are tail enders.
The IFNA official said before releasing of the new rankings teams would be considered the number of games won on sanctioned tournaments.
Another criterion to be used during ranking of the teams is based on behavior of the players and technical staff.
She said the Tanzanian side at the tournament was completely deferent with the one played three years ago during a similar tourney and ended fifth.
"The Taifa Queens I saw this week was predominantly new but they played well, displaying good technical skills and the behavior of the players was good", she said.
The IFNA official added that Queens should be active before January by organising and searching high profile test matches which could enable the country gain more points.
She attributed the team's improvement to investment in youth netball and also coaching singling out Filbert Bayi Netball Team coach and Taifa Queens technical consultant Marry Waya, as being behind the team's technical strength.
She said Waya's unique way of playing was seen in the team and she asked the netball association (CHANETA) to keep the coach so that she helps the team to reach great heights.
"With due respect to all Taifa Queens coaches, to me Waya has transformed this team, it was playing well and CHANETA should keep her to sharpen up the team", she said.
Her remarks were also shared by Malawi Netball Association president Rosy Chinunda who attributed Queens to youth development and the arrival of Waya made a huge improvement.
She said despite Malawi team having many good and experienced players, physiological advantage as the best team in Africa, they found it hard to beat the host side.
"In your national team I have seen four young players who last time visited Malawi with Filbert Bayi side netball for friendly matches. To me that is good and encouraging. Maintain Waya as part of the technical panel of the team, she is good at developing and nurturing players' talents", she said.
Malawi and South Africa are the only African teams in IFNA top ten standings, Botswana are Africa's third best and 16th in the world. Tanzania is fourth in Africa and 21 in the world. There are 25 teams ranked worldwide with India at the bottom.

Kattegat along the Swedish coast near Molle. @ C.Michael Hogan
The Kattegat is a shallow sea situated east of Denmark's Jutland peninsula and west of the southwestern landmass of Sweden. This low salinity water body is a connecting link between the North Sea, via the Skagerrak, and the Baltic Sea.
Coastal zones of the Kattegat are presently eutrophic, by dent of large increases in nutrient levels that commenced as early as 1930. Corresponding benthic biomass decay has led to significant oxygen depletion, altering the historic occurrence of demersal fishes.
This narrow sea passage has played a key role in European naval history beginning with the Viking era.
Geography and limits
Regional setting of the Kattegat. On the south and west of the Kattegat lie the Danish Straits and Danish islands. the Swedish provinces of Västergötland, Scania, Halland and Bohuslän bound the Kattegat at the east.
The Baltic Sea drains into the Kattegat through the Øresund and the Danish Straits.
The limits of the Kattegat are defined by the International Hydrographic Organization as:
At the North: A line joining Skagen, northernmost point of Denmark and Paternoster Skær 57 degrees 54 minutes; 11 degress 27 minutes E, thence northeast through the shoals to Tjörn Island.
- At the South: The Baltic Sea at the Belts and Sound: In the Little Belt a line joining Falshöft 54 degrees 47 minutes N; 9 degrees 57.5 minutes E and Vejsnæs Nakke 54 degrees 49 minutes N; 10 degrees 26 minutes E. In the Great Belt a line joining Gulstav (South extreme of Langeland Island) and Kappel Kirke 54 degrees 46 minutes N; 11 degrees 1 minute E on Laaland Island. In the Sound a line joining Stevns Light 55 degrees 17 minutes N; 12 degrees 27 minutes E and Falsterbo Point 55 degrees 23 minutes N; 12 degrees 49 minutes E.
The essential hydrography of the Kattegat is governed by lower salinity inflow from the Baltic Sea, with tidal influences driven from the North Sea.
Kattegat bottom. Hachure is sandy mud, dark is grey mud,
light blue is sand/gravel bottom. Source: Jorgensen
Like the Baltic Sea connected at the south, the Kattegut is a shallow sea. The Danish coastal shelf, for example, manifests depths no greater than 30 meters.
The Kattegat bottom is consists of almost equal portions of: (a) grey mud; (b) hard sand or gravel bottom; and (c) sandy mud.
Most of the influent sediment arrives via the Skagerrak from the North Sea, in turn originating from riverine discharge from some of the great rivers of northwestern Europe that discharge into the North Sea.
Benthic sediments are strongly seasonal, with maxima tracking the spring phytoplankton bloom.
Salinity of surface waters, influenced by inflow from the brackish Baltic Sea, are in the range of 15 to 25 percent; however, there is strong salinity stratification, such that the colder denser bottom currents from the North Sea are in the range of 32 to 34 percent.
Parts of the sandy bottom such as at Laholm Bay accumulate ephemeral organic rich benthic mud mats; during the resuspension cycle, these mats typically become transported to deeper parts of the Kattegat. Correspondingly some areas of mud mat formation may become transported by later advection into the deeper parts of Kiel Bight in the western Baltic Sea.

Marine ecology
Kattegat viewed from space. Source: NASA Since the early 1900s, parts of the Kattegat bottom were observed to suffer from hypoxia (e.g. oxygen concentrations below three milligrams per litre) in certain late summer conditions; by the 1970s large amounts of green algae (Cladophora) were observed in Laholm Bay, and since the early 1980s the problem has become more pervasive.
By 1980 about 65 million bivalves per annum were washed up on local shores in and near Laholm Bay, with mortality caused by benthic hypoxia. Correspondingly robust benthic population increases were noted in brittlestars (chiefly Amphiura filiformis).
The hypoxia driver was deduced to be increasing eutropication, which generates excessive biological oxygen demand from organic rich sedimentation, and ensuing benthic mineralization processes. In turn the eutropication is driven by excess nitrogen, mostly by excessive nutrient runoff from intensive terrestrial agriculture.
Phytoplankton primary productivity for the Kattegat is estimated to be 245 grams carbon (C) per square meter per year (gms C /sq.m/yr), after correcting for dark respiration.
The organic sedimentation of the water column is thought to be about 63 gms C /sq.m/yr.
Food chain carbon flow is assessed as follows:
(a) Bacteria consumption 87 gms C /sq.m/yr;
(b) Mesozooplankton consumption 37 gms C /sq.m/yr; and,
(c) Microzooplankton consumption at 143 gms C /sq.m/yr.
The shallow waters are stongly stratified in the most productive spring and summer season; correspondingly the bottom waters have a much higher salinity than surface waters due to the influent surface flow from the Baltic.
Benthic sediments accumulate organic matter, which incur microbial metabolism producing methane. Some of this methane from the deeper pockets escapes as bubbles into the water column, sometimes forming carbonate chimneys, resulting from methane oxidation to carbon dioxide within the sediment. These benthic settings engender the growth of unusual pogonophore and bivalve species that hava a symbiotic methane or sufide oxidizing bacteria within their tissue; some of these species are classified as extremophiles due to their ability to thrive in a high methane or sulfide environment.
Marine mammals such as the Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) and European otter (Lutra lutra) occur in the Kattegat.
European plaice, dominant historic Kattegat fish. Source: Hans Hillewaert
Kyle's work provides an excellent historic snapshot of the Kattegat fisheries as of the year 1906. The European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) fishery was dominant with a annual yield of 6.3 million kilograms (kg), with Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in second place with around 3.4 million kg/year, followed by Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) with a catch of 1.2 million kg/year. Catches of European eel (Anguilla anguilla), garfish (Belone belone) and lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) followed these dominant three fish species. The fishing fleet of that era had five steamers of gross weight 95 to 189 tons, and about 800 sailing vessels employing drift nets, trawling or line-fishery equipment; this was the entirety of the fleet serving the North Sea, Skaggerak and Kattegat combined.
By 1980 the sea bottom was suffering from a more pronounced oxygen depletion, resulting in an alteration of demersal fish populations. Atlantic cod and Whiting (Merlangus merlangus) became appreciably reduced in numbers, whilst rough dab (Hippoglossoides platessoides) became dominant in these oxygen deficient zones.
Terrestrial ecology
See main article: Baltic mixed forests
The Kattegat is rimmed by the Baltic mixed forests ecoregion, which consist of temperate broadleaf and mixed forests within the Palearctic realm The Baltic mixed forests, comprised of both forests and wetlands, encompasses many different habitats, and accordingly a broad diversity of species. Migrating and breeding water-birds, shorebirds, and wading birds visit this habitat each year, such that 32 Important Bird Areas have been designated within the ecoregion as a whole.
A number of other threatened fauna are found in the ecoregion including the Near Threatened European otter (Lutra lutra), which is found on the Kattegat fringe as well as freshwater rivers tributary to the Kattegat. Other threatened mammals include the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and the Endangered European mink (Mustela lutreola), the latter occurring chiefly in riparian zones
There are a number of threatened avian species found in this ecoregion; some of the threatened bird species breeding here are the Vulnerable Aquatic warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola), Vulnerable Great bustard (Otis tarda), Near Threatened Ferruginous pochard (Aythya nyroca), Near Threatened Black-tailed godwit (Limosa limosa), Vulnerable Steller's eider (polysticta stelleri), Near Threatened Red kite (Milvus milvus) . Great bittern (Botaurus stellaris) and Little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) are found among the cover of reed beds preying upon fish, frogs and other small fauna. Many of these avian species breed here and then migrate south for winter.
Viking stone ship burial ground, Gettlinge, Oland, Sweden. @ C.Michael Hogan The maritime history of the Kattegat almost certainly began with Viking voyages originating in the Kattegat circa 820 AD. Viking bases in both Norway and Sweden were most likely used at that early age, since Norse Vikings were noted to have made many expeditions to the west by the late 700s, and signs of early Viking activity are noted from the southeastern Swedish coast (e.g. such as Oland) since the ninth century. In particular, Hogan points out the existence of elaborate stone ship burial grounds on Oland dating to this approximate time.
In medieval times Dutch traders used the passage and gave the strait its present day name: The Dutch word kat (for cat) combined with gat (for gate), expressing the fact that only a cat-like creature could fit through this narrow sea passage, which at the narrowest is only several kilometres wide.
In subsequent times, including World War II, this narrow sea passage was a strategic channel for commercial cargo transport as well as naval military vessels. On April 8, 1940 the Nazis launched the sea invasion of Norway by passage of a naval fleet through the Kattegat.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Are Expecting . . . And She's In the Hospital with Morning Sickness
The good news for the Royal Family is that KATE MIDDLETON is pregnant. The bad news? She's in the hospital with a very severe form of morning sickness called HYPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM.
--It's marked by nausea and vomiting, but on a more extreme scale than regular morning sickness . . . to the point where it can lead to dehydration, malnutrition, weight loss and other problems.
--It's estimated that at most, only 2% of pregnant women get it. Some estimates say the number is as low as three-tenths of a percent. For most women, the issue resolves itself by about the 20th week of pregnancy.
--Kate will remain in the hospital for several days, after which she'll require, quote, "a period of rest." There's potential for harm to the mother and child, but this doesn't seem to be one of those cases.
--An interesting side note, though: Some experts say the condition is associated with TWINS. There's no word if Kate is carrying what the Brits call "an heir and a spare" at the same time.
--This is the first child for Kate and PRINCE WILLIAM.
--That means Harry is now fourth in line for the throne, behind PRINCE CHARLES, Prince William and this unborn fetus.
--Of course, if Kate IS carrying twins, that means Harry is FIFTH.

--"The Simpsons" beat "Family Guy" 36% to 30% . . . while 34% said they "didn't know" which one was funnier.

--22% of Americans said "Seinfeld" is the greatest sitcom, giving it a slight edge over "The Honeymooners", which got 16% of the vote.
