Player's jersey sleeve rule

Player's Equipment
Player's Equipment
USSF has received a number of inquiries recently about how officials should handle situations where players wish to wear equipment that is not included in the list of basic compulsory equipment in FIFA Laws of the Game. Referees are facing increased requests from players for permission to wear kneepads, elbowpads, headbands, soft casts, goggles, etc.
The only concrete guidance in the Laws of the Game is found in Law 4:
"A player must not use equipment or wear anything which is dangerous to himself or another player."
This is followed by a list of required uniform items – jersey, shorts, socks, shoes, and shinguards. Obviously, this language is quite general. USSF suggests the following approach to issues involving player equipment and uniforms:
1. Look to the applicable rules of the competition authority.
Some leagues, tournaments, and soccer organizations have specific local rules covering player uniforms and what other items may or may not be worn on the field during play. Referees who accept match assignments governed by these rules are obligated to enforce them. Note, however, that local rules cannot restrict the referee's fundamental duty to ensure the safety of players.
2. Inspect the equipment.
All items of player equipment and uniforms must be inspected. However, anything outside the basic compulsory items must draw the particular attention of the referee and be inspected with special regard to safety. USSF does not "pre-approve" any item of player equipment by type or brand – each item must be evaluated individually.
3. Focus on the equipment itself – not how it might be improperly used, or whether it actually protects the player.
Generally, the referee's safety inspection should focus on whether the equipment has such dangerous characteristics as: sharp edges, hard surfaces, pointed corners, dangling straps or loops, or dangerous protrusions. The referee should determine whether the equipment, by its nature, presents a safety risk to the player wearing it or to other players. If the equipment does not present such a safety risk, the referee should permit the player to wear it.
The referee should not forbid the equipment simply because it creates a possibility that a player could use it to foul another player or otherwise violate the Laws of the Game. However, as the game progresses, an item that the referee allowed may become dangerous, depending on changes in its condition (wear and tear) or on how the player uses it. Referees must be particularly sensitive to unfair or dangerous uses of player equipment and must be prepared to order a correction of the problem whenever they become aware of it.
The referee also should not forbid the equipment because of doubts about whether it actually protects the player. There are many new types of equipment on the market that claim to protect players. A referee's decision to allow a player to use equipment is not an endorsement of the equipment and does not signify that the referee believes the player will be safer while wearing the equipment.
4. Remember that the referee is the final word on whether equipment is dangerous.
Players, coaches, and others may argue that certain equipment is safe. They may contend that the equipment has been permitted in previous matches, or that the equipment actually increases the player's safety. These arguments may be accompanied by manufacturer's information, doctor's notes, etc. However, as with all referee decisions, determining what players may wear within the framework of the Laws of the Game and applicable local rules depends on the judgment of the referee. The referee must strive to be fair, objective, and consistent – but the final decision belongs to the referee.

I am a wife of 40 years to the most wonderful fellow; my best friend, and the love of my life. Our children our priceless and a joy. I am retired. I have fun with Church, family, and friends. I am a grandma! I love life! I get excited about Bible studies. I love our Lord Jesus and want to please and honor HIM above all. God bless you one and all!
When I was a teen I nearly drowned and my Aunt had to leave me alone until I stopped fighting her. She said I dragged her under the water seven times; nearly drowning her. I was not saved, I did not know JESUS as my savior, I was not born again, and I was never so afraid in my life. I was in terror!!! I saw my life pass before me in vivid color; every motive of my heart could be seen and felt deeply. I knew I was lost and I was going to hell. I knew I was in his presence. He says if you make your bed in hell behold He is there (Psalms 139:8).
My Aunt was able to get me out after my body lay motionless in the water and God allowed me to live and correct many of my mistakes. I had felt I was too bad; to get saved from Hell! I was so wrong! Jesus love is deeper and wider than the universe. We are warned by God; to take care of this eternal matter before we die! He went to the cross for you and me; we must go to the alter of repentance and change.
Now I know my Lord loves me! I am ready to meet HIM!I No! I am not perfect but I know the one who is perfect! (1 Timothy 1:12 ...for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. K.J.V. in public domain
.I have faced some close calls with death since then, but I never have had the terror again. I know know my LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST! By his mercy and grace I am here and not in Hell! I love His word! I love his creation! I love fellowship with HIM! He is LOVE, LORD, Master, Joy, friend, Life, light, and KING. I had heard the gospel message and did not heed the warning, don't let this happen to you! Read the verse below and Visit my Spark page! E-mail me anytime! I care!
I had a stroke In late November of 2007. It was indeed a wake up call for me. I have been working on life style changes since then, but finding my daily healthy life style changes; I am blessed to be alive and have another chance at taking better care myself. Another chance to be what God wants me to be and do what He wants me to do! YET! i am human and I DO MESS UP! ( I lean on my Lord and His Word.) Proverbs 3:5-6)
I love to read God's Word.
I also enjoy great quotes of our Founding Father and Hero's of the faith, Missionaries, and our History of this great nation.
I will tell you another true story that happen several years ago.
I had a dear friend, who was in a bad car accident.
she was in the Intensive Care Unit and I could not go to her.
I cried out to God for help!
I ask Him to give her a Hug and touch her body.
He gave me a Hug.
Yes! God gave me the best holy loving hug of my life.
I am a happy married wife of a great husband but I have never had that much love in a hug before.
If i had died that minute it would have been OK!
To be so loved it beyond any words. John 3:15-20
May the Lord wrap you in His love and bless you today! jenny
I love this quote:
"There will be no true freedom without VIRTUE, No true science without religion, no true industry without the fear of God and love of your fellow citizens."----Charles Kingsley
How do we get back? How can we get back to the Godly values of our founding Fathers. Repent and turn back to God,
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
The golden Rule is what American's needs daily.
What kind of world would it be if all lived by the Golden Rule?
Yes! Just do what is right!
Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. K.J.V. in the public domain.
Yesterday and today!
the "Golden rule" in action!
Neighbor helping neighbor.
Compassion and caring above self!
Yet! when you read the information about the founders it was more. The one's who Honored God above all.
What are the dangers we face if we do not get back what we have lost?
In my own life, I Jenny712 know, I fall short of what I should be?
I Jenny712 humbly go to my Lord for forgiveness and change. He is ready and able to help! I need God's Word, power, and the Holy Spirit within to guide me daily.
1John1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The Holy Bible, NKJV

getting to grips with styling
by, 03-30-2012 at 06:58 AM (1219 Views)
My first blog is about styling. It can be time consumming finding fonts and photoshop brushes, colours and styles in map making. But the effort is truely worth the while even if it means rehashing existing maps. I use some fonts which don't have the full character set so that numbers, for example, don't come out in text. What a pain! And being a poor artist I can't afford to buy pro fonts. I have tried to make my own font up and it took ages! And when you use it it is damn hard to read as the spacing hasn't been sorted out too well. Fontographer, my early version, was a little buggy!
If anyone knows of a particular good old medieval style of written text similar to uncial, hobbiton brushhand, unzial etc etc give me a poke (I'll be eternally grateful!)
It also looks like the more you work on a map the better it becomes BUT don't over work it. Give it a rest and let it lie around for a while before going back to have a look. You'll then get a fresh look at it and anything that needs a tweak can then be tackled objectively. I've just noticed on my ERIA maps that the gems in the top and bottom corners look a little big and distracting and as mentioned before the coast line needs lifting by lighter blur line.....but that can wait. Being an artist involves looking 90% of the time and doing only 10% of the time! Give it a go and you'll find that the time will be well spent!

Yoga and the Body
by Michele Determan
By the time I was in the 4th grade I believed I was fat. Was I? No. But somewhere along the way to becoming a fourth grader that seed was planted, and it was never to leave me all through my teens, young adult-hood, and middle age. Always my view of my body was distorted, as if looking at it via a Fun House wiggly mirror. Consequently I was never comfortable in my own skin.
When my daughter suggested we take a yoga class I was intrigued, but decided I was too fat, too old, and too out of shape to take that class. Good thing she persisted, because, long story short, I am a yoga instructor now, just a few years after walking into that first class session.
Not everyone has someone to encourage them to take a class, and not everyone has a person to go to that first class with them. So. If you have been defining yourself as too heavy, too skinny, too old, too out of shape, or ……………. (insert your word) and it has kept you from taking a yoga class, I'm here to tell you those reasons just do not matter.
All you have to do is to take that first and greatest leap of faith and pick up your phone or fire up your computer and contact Natural Pathways. It is my particular delight to help people new to yoga to learn to move their body, and also to help people who have physical limitations to find a way to safely move their body.
So come and join me or any one of the other delightful and accomplished yoga instructors at Natural Pathways Wellness Center and begin your magical journey into the self that is the Heart of Yoga.
Oh. I almost forgot! Am I now comfortable in my body? Why, yes, I am!!! And I did not need to lose weight to get to that marvelous place. Do I attribute the change to yoga? Most definitely!

An estimated 63 million people will hit the roads and travel at least 50 miles for the Christmas holiday, according to AAA.
Whether they travel by bus, train, plane or in their own vehicles, the holiday rush is in full swing. Heavy delays were reported at both the Greyhound bus station and at the Amtrak station in Wilson Friday.
Flights of out area airports were pretty much on time, and the North Carolina Highway Patrol says things were running smoothly on area highways Friday.

NASCAR happy with throwback racing
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR chairman Brian France said Tuesday the contact between Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin as they battled for the win at California over the weekend was just the kind of throwback racing he expects out of his drivers and the new Gen-6 car.
"I have said repeatedly, every minute, that contact, especially late in the race when you are going for a win, that's not only going to happen — that's expected," France said in a telephone interview. "Both of them did exactly what I think you would do when you really, really want to win. Getting some contact, trying to race extra hard to win the race, that's what we're about."
NASCAR said it won't penalize Tony Stewart for scuffling with Logano after the race, and series officials saw nothing to indicate Logano or Hamlin were trying to intentionally wreck each other as they raced for the win. In addition, NASCAR officials have given no thought to policing blocking, which is what Logano did to Stewart on the final restart to trigger the post-race confrontation.
"There are no conversations internally inside of NASCAR to look at blocking as a violation or a penalty as some other forms of motorsports do," Sprint Cup Series director John Darby said. "As good as the racing has been, as exciting as it's been, I don't know that we need to jump in the middle and screw it up."
Stewart parked his car near Logano's and angrily approached him after Sunday's race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. There was some shoving, but crew members intervened before any punches landed. Logano threw a water bottle at Stewart.
Darby said the incident didn't escalate to a level where NASCAR had to take action.
"A few years ago we backed away from micromanaging drivers' emotions, you would hope in today's world that if somebody didn't win a race, they would be upset about it," Darby said. "I don't know that we've actually got a rule book that describes every push in the chest or kick in the shin. If two guys get into a helluva fight, we're going to have to react. But a couple of guys blowing off some steam and slapping at the air is not going to get anybody in a whole lot of trouble."
France noted drivers are encouraged to show their emotion and settle disputes — which is all Stewart was doing.
"We have no problem, and frankly encourage drivers to go up to one another to discuss whatever they think they need to that happened in the race," France said. "And then every once in a while there will be some emotions, and that's what happened Sunday and crews stepped in between them and we don't think it rose to some level of anything."
France said NASCAR will intervene when feuds go too far and when emotions run too high.
"We're not going to allow a boxing match to take place every time they have a disagreement," France said. "But on the other hand, we're not going to prevent the emotional exchanges that occur after a race. Everyone has the right to walk up to someone and say, 'What the? What happened there? What did you do that for?' And they explain themselves and usually work it out."
It remains to be seen where the Logano and Hamlin feud goes from here, although Sunday was viewed as a racing incident.
The two former teammates have feuded since the closing laps of the season-opening Daytona 500 and it escalated after contact from Hamlin sent Logano spinning into the wall two races ago at Bristol. Logano confronted Hamlin after the race before being pulled away by crew members.
The two moved their feud to Twitter for at least the second time this season and then came Sunday's race.
They were racing side-by-side on the last lap when they banged into each other. Both cars spun and Hamlin's hit head-on into an inside wall not protected with energy-absorbing SAFER barriers.
He spent Sunday night in a Southern California hospital, where he was diagnosed with an L1 compression fracture in his lower back. He was back in North Carolina on Tuesday, scheduled to be evaluated later this week.
"It was the last lap of the race, and the last time they were both going to see turns three and four. They were side-by-side. If somebody was of the mindset to retaliate, they probably would have been lined up nose-to-tail and somebody would have drove into the other car and spun him around," Darby said. "In this case, that is so far from the opposite, that it never even crossed anybody's mind that I'm aware of that paid attention to the race."
NASCAR is still going over data from Hamlin's accident and will need to meet with officials from the University of Nebraska, home to the engineering school's Midwest Roadside Safety experts, and IndyCar before making any recommendations on whether a SAFER barrier should be installed where Hamlin hit.

The AG's opinion
Throughout the six-page letter dated Monday and sent by state Attorney General William C. Mims to Tony Troy, an attorney representing supervisors Teresa Altemus and Michelle Ressler, the words "criminal charges" are invoked. The letter was referenced by Ressler Tuesday night at the Board of Supervisors meeting when she and three other supervisors voted to abstain from discussing or voting on whether taxpayer funds should be used to pay their legal bills. Here's an example from Mims' letter of where he cited the criminal charges against the supervisors: "On November 18, 2008," Mims wrote, "the criminal charges filed against the four members were dismissed. The Judge ordered that the County and certain others pay the majority of the fees incurred by the Board members during the criminal case. You note that some of the fees remain outstanding and unaddressed."
Mims later writes that state law (Section 15.2-1521) "specifically authorizes a local governing body to reimburse an officer for legal fees where 'no charges are brought, or the charge is subsequently dismissed, or upon trial he is found not guilty.' " Mims wrote that it's conceivable that every member of a governing body could be individulally investigated, arrested or indicted or prosecuted on any criminal charge arising out of any act committed in the discharge of his official duties and would be required to incur reasonable legal fees and expenses in order to defend themselves. The section of state law would have little or no meaning if such board members were disqualified from voting on the reimbursement of "reasonable legal fees and expenses," Mims wrote. Also in the letter he wrote that state law (Section 15.2-1521) "specifically authorizes a local governing body to reimburse an officer for legal fees where 'no charges are brought, or the charge is subsequently dismissed, or upon trial he is found not guilty.' "
One thing, though. The fees in question that Judge Westbrook J. Parker ordered the county to pay to reimburse the attorneys for Altemus, Ressler, Bobby Crewe and Gregory Woodard relate to the civil cases -- the petitions calling for the supervisors' removal -- not the criminal cases. Now Mims did cite a section of state law that allows an officer to participate in a transaction if he or she is a member of a group of three or more people that is affected by the transaction. In that scenario, all four supervisors qualify as a group of three or more persons and could conceivably vote on the county paying their legal fees arising out of the civil cases.
But Mims also threw in this disclaimer at the end of the letter: "The law cannot, however, protect against all appearances of conflict. Therefore, it is incumbent upon Teresa Altemus, Michelle Ressler, Gregory Woodard, and Robert 'Bobby' Crewe to determine whether voting on the reimbursement of their legal fees will present an appearance of impropriety that they find unacceptable and that will affect the confidence of the public in their ability to perform their duties impartially."

We men have it lucky — simplicity is the key to a stylish life. All we've gotta do is make some good decisions, invest wisely, and go in with a game plan, and the rest will surely follow. The holiday season is fast approaching, so now's the time to come up with said game plan so we're not caught short whenever the occasion arises (office Christmas party, weekend away, and freezing weather included). So with that in mind, these are the five things guys need in order to survive the next six weeks in style.
1. A Warm Coat. It sounds obvious, but you're going to be wearing this thing a whole lot over the coming months, so make sure it looks good. Right now I'm living in a khaki barn jacket — it works equally well over a chunky knit sweater as it does over a sport coat, and it has the bonus of a removable woolen lining that zips up for added warmth. Other great options include duffel coats, chesterfields, and double breasted topcoats in nubby tweeds.
2. Solid Boots. I come from a country where Winter barely exists (shout out to New Zealand), so boots were not something I'd ever previously owned before migrating to the USA. This is my first proper pair – they're a beautiful leather, a fantastic color, and they'll look great with denim or a heavy textured suit. Perfect for winter, perfect for the holidays.
3. A Chunky Knit Sweater. Perfect for layering over a button-down and under a sport coat, jacket, or both, the chunky knit sweater is an absolute winter essential. And nothing looks better at the casual Christmas party than a sweater worn with the sleeves pushed up over grey flannel pants and leather lace-ups. If you've got the cash to drop and you wanna go fancy, choose cashmere, but I personally prefer the texture and rough look of lambswool. Extra points for anyone who dares to wear a bright red woolen sweater — after all, it's the color of the season.
4. A Knit Tie. Face it — you're going to be getting dressed up a lot in the coming months, so you better invest in a great tie (slash selection of great ties). I own a few, but I only ever wear this cobalt blue silk knit tie. It works with all my suits and sportcoats, and looks great with a pale blue shirt (which is my button-up of choice in formal situations). Lately I've been thrashing it with this club collar shirt and tobacco corduroy jacket, and I think — due to its professorial lean — that the look affords me a certain air of intelligence. (At least that's why my Mother tells me.)
5. And... A Great Overnight Bag. If you, like me, are visiting relatives for the holidays, but you want to ensure your stay is as brief as possible, an overnight bag is your best friend. Not only does it look rakish when carried through airports and train stations, but it also forces you to be sparing in your packing, and tells your host that you'll be out of their hair with due haste. This one is in my favorite color — forest green — and is cut from wool and leather, but other good options include all leather, and duck canvas.

Deaths from Heroin-Related Overdose Rise on Long Island
Local News, Crime, Health & Wellness
The number of deaths from both prescription drugs and heroin has been rising steadily over the past few years on Long Island.
The heroin problem is on the rise on Long Island. Authorities said that because of tighter pharmacy restrictions following the murders of four people at a Medford pharmacy in June of 2011, fewer prescription pills are being sold on the street. As a result, deaths from heroin overdose have increased to 110 last year, up from 96 in 2011.
The heroin problem on Long Island is affecting a wide variety of people, including teenagers. In 2012, records show that 83 people died from heroin overdoses in Suffolk County alone last year amid a crackdown on prescription painkillers.
Records show that the number of opiate overdose victims overall fell to 338 last year down from 366 in 2011, while heroin overdoses killed 110 people last year, up from 96 deaths in 2011.
"What we've seen is a movement away from prescription drugs as DEA and other authorities have clamped down on access to pills like OxyContin, Vicodin and Percocet," said executive director of the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Jeffrey Reynolds. "We've seen individuals move over to the cheaper, more accessible drug and that's heroin."
The number of deaths from both prescription drugs and heroin has been rising steadily over the past few years on Long Island.
Reynolds said, "Five years ago, there were almost no overdoses related to heroin and prescription pills and now when you combine the two together the overdoses in both counties total about 370," adding that the increase in heroin-related deaths could be attributed to the addiction worsening over time, left untreated.
"If you needed to use one bag of heroin two years ago by now you're using 12 to 15 bags of heroin a day in order to achieve the same effect," Reynolds said in a report by CBS.
You don't expect a perky 16 year old cheerleader, or a kid from the northshore to be an addict, but it's not always what you expect. The data shows that heroin and abuse of prescription painkillers are a problem that is affecting an increasingly wide variety of Long Island residents.
If you or a loved one needs assistance in dealing with drug addiction, you can contact the Suffolk County Department of Health Services for Information about Treatment Centers and Plans.

As much as everyone wants to ignore the drug issue, it is only going to get worse. Within the next few years we will see even more deaths from overdose as well as deaths from home invasions and robberies to get the money to buy the drugs.
Sorry people, but you can not set up a methadone clinic and expect the drug problem to go away.
I'm not sure the previous commenter knows how hard it is to kick the drug habit. Drugs are a nightmare that drives your every waking - and sleeping - thought. Overdoses are common as you are never satisfied. And I went to a methadone clinic. Got the help I needed and now am drug free. Don't be so hateful.
So, the heroin problem is because of tighter restrictions on pharmacies? Really? Who thought that one up? I had a friend who died of heroin ten years ago... no restrictions then.

Ortofon e-Q7 Ear Canal Headphone
" Prior to purchasing these, my primary concern is to have a proper alternative for my ESW9 which have better isolation to be used for listening to my ballad tunes on the road.

Back last year, Panasonic presented the GF3, a lens-switching mirrorless camera specially designed for novice users. Its replacement, the GF5 (4 is unlucky in Japanese culture), looks like more of a software update than a hardware update, boasting improved touchscreen handling and enhanced performances but no major additions to the spec sheet.
From the outside, the GF5 still looks very similar to the GF3. While keen-eyed readers may spot the arrival of a Disp. button or a slightly flatter flash, the main modification is a higher handle, which makes room for your middle finger and improves general grip. That said, the GF5 is still a very small camera, so anyone with larger hands might have to bunch their fingers up a bit.
Build quality is good but, logically, it's not quite on par with the higher-end GX1. The only thing you could really criticise in the Panasonic GF5 is a slight wobble to the flash—something that's difficult to avoid given its longer arm and the camera's compact design.
The GF5 has been treated to a new screen, doubling the resolution to VGA. Viewing angles are good and the display is generally comfortable to use (in spite of some glitches and judder in low light). The screen isn't calibrated all that accurately, however. Bright, light parts of the onscreen image are soon overexposed to white, and colours aren't displayed accurately. We measured the Delta E (difference between perfect colours and those displayed onscreen) at 9.5. Note that anything under 3 is considered accurate and that most digital cameras usually score around 6. However, it's the colour temperature that's actually most problematic, as at over 11,000 K (instead of 6,500 K), the display has a visibly blue overtone.
You therefore can't really use the screen to manually perfect the white balance, as when light tones will look to have a blue tinge onscreen, the corresponding image will actually be captured looking perfectly neutral. You're therefore better off relying on the automatic white balance (which generally works very well) or the pre-sets.
The camera interface is very pleasant. It's clear, easy to understand, and the camera can now be controlled entirely with the touchscreen (see inset). And, as ever, custom settings are on hand, so you can pick the options in the Quick Menu, the location of the histogram, zoom tool etc.
Panasonic's micro four-thirds cameras are usually above average on this front, and the GF5 is no exception. In fact, the results are very similar to those of the GX1, with start-up at 1.4 seconds (mainly due to the time it takes to deploy the 14-42 mm X lens), an autofocus that works in under half a second in all conditions, and fast photo-to-photo turnaround.
The 4 fps burst mode, which is slowed down for moving subjects, is the only real field in which the GF5 is outdone by SLRs.
Although the sensor is technically the same as the one used in the GF3, Panasonic has promised to improve sensitivity, bringing this 12-Megapixel camera on par with the the latest 16-Megapixel sensors used in the G3 and GX1. This is the kind of claim we usually take with a very large pinch of salt ...
The result is that Jpeg shots look more visibly processed, mainly to reduce levels of digital noise in dark, shadowy parts of the picture—an approach to image processing that's quite reminiscent of Sony. However, there is a clear gain in overall quality, with an image at 3200 ISO that's still only lightly smoothed, and which is clear enough to make 8" x 10" (20 x 27 cm) prints without a second thought. At 6400 ISO, the result isn't quite as flattering. There's certainly less noise, but detail is wiped out as a result. All in all, while Sony's APS sensors are still a fair way ahead, Panasonic has clearly made progress with the GF5.
We tested our GF5 with Panasonic's great 14-42 mm X lens, the first ever pancake zoom lens to hit the market. The model we were sent even turned out to be slightly better than the one we got with the GX1—an unexpected bonus! For such a compact lens, we already thought quality was great in the first model we saw, almost comparable with standard 14-42 mm zoom lenses.
So while there are camera-and-lens combos that take better-quality pictures (a Canon 600D with the EF-S 17-55 mm f/2.8 lens, for example), the GF5 + 14-42 mm X is an excellent choice for users looking to take great pictures without being weighed down with kit ... or spending a small fortune.
The GF5 films 1080i video at 50 fields per second. Picture quality is good, with nice levels of sharpness and flattering, although well controlled, contrast. The continuous autofocus works quite well and interlacing is invisible—in fact, the sensor captures 25 full frames per second, which are recorded and interlaced for some obscure reasons of back-compatibility.
Sound quality is a mixed bag. The GF5 finally records in stereo, the mics are OK quality and distinct voices and noises all sound clear. However, the stereo effect isn't as marked as in certain rivals (like Panasonic's own G3 and GX1) and some cameras render metallic sounds more accurately.

ERCIM continues to encourage European information technology and applied mathematics research via its members and their networks of contacts. The fellowship programme is popular both with applicants and hosting institutions. The Working Groups demonstrate activity in bringing together researchers from the ERCIM member institutions and wider to discuss issues and generate research proposals. As in the past, some of these proposals and - if successful - subsequent projects are managed by the ERCIM Office, although in the last year or so the number of ERCIM-managed research projects has reduced.

It seems like we have zucchini coming out of the woodwork these days! Everyone has it growing like mad in their gardens and no one can use it up fast enough. I happen to adore zucchini, but even I've been feeling a bit challenged trying to find some different and interesting ways to use it. And then, I found the recipe for this cake – Zucchini Olive Oil Cake with Crunchy Lemon Glaze. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to make it.
This is not your typical, dense, leaden loaf of zucchini bread, people. No, no, no! It is cake. Real, honest-to-goodness cake, with a moist, light and delicate crumb drenched in a lovely sweet-tart lemon glaze. And, it is heavenly!
It all starts with the usual cast of cake ingredients, like flour, sugar and eggs. There are also a few special guest stars, like coarsely grated, fresh from the garden zucchini…
And, some fragrant, fruity extra-virgin olive oil. Yes, olive oil. In cake!
Let's not forget the crunchy, yummy toasted pecans. How could anything not be wonderful with toasted pecans?
I'll admit it doesn't look like much before being baked, but just wait until it comes out of the oven…
And it gets a nice slathering of that delightful lemon glaze.
Seriously folks, this was one of the tastiest cakes I've ever baked – and there was no chocolate ganache or Swiss buttercream in sight. Even Mr. "I Don't Eat Sweets" SGCC indulged in two slices – and that's saying something!
I have to say, I was a little leery about using extra virgin olive oil in a cake. I was afraid that flavor would be too assertive, but it wasn't. In fact, if I hadn't known it was in there, I wouldn't have ever guessed. On its own, the cake has a slightly earthy, mellow quality to it, and is not overly sweet. The lemony glaze, however, is what really gives this cake its va va voom. A mixture of granulated and confectioner's sugars is what supposedly gives the glaze its crunch. Although I thought the glaze was really delicious, I have to say I didn't find it to be particularly "crunchy". But, I didn't care. It is a luscious glaze adorning a fabulous cake. Who could ask for more?
Zucchini Olive Oil Cake with Lemon Glaze
adapted from Dolce Italiano by Gina DePalma
For the cake:
- 2 cups (240 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cup (306 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (237 mil) extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (438 g) grated zucchini (about 2 small zucchini)
- 1 cup (75 g) chopped pecans, toasted
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup (59 mil) fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/3 cup (58 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (130 g) confectioners sugar
- Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 F. Lightly grease a 10-cup Bundt pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of the stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and olive oil together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and beat in the vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients all at once and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined, then increase speed to medium and mix for 30 seconds. Mix in the zucchini and pecan pieces.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Rotate the cake halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
- Make the glaze while the cake is baking. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and granulated sugar until combined. Then, whisk in the confectioners sugar until the glaze is smooth.
- Remove the baked cake from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Place the wire rack over a piece of wax paper and flip the cake onto the rack. Using a pastry brush, brush the glaze all over the hot cake. Allow the cake to cool and the glaze to dry completely before serving.
- Store cake in a covered cake saver or covered with plastic wrap and consume within 2 days.
Serves 12.

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
No Lapse in Liberties
Article excerpt
A number of wise voices have cautioned that the terror attack unleashed on America must not become an excuse for suspending basic American principles and values.
That warning has immediate application to the treatment of the country's millions of citizens of Arab background and Muslim faith. In numerous parts of the US, hatred and prejudice have reared their heads in the days since the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Threatening phone calls, shouted taunts, and acts of vandalism have been reported.
From Arizona and Texas, come reports of a gas station owner (a Sikh, neither Arab nor Muslim) and a store owner (a Pakistani) shot and killed.
These are profoundly un-American actions. The hard lessons of the past, such as the regrettable internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, can't be forgotten. The American system will not again tolerate retaliation against a whole segment of the population.
But misguided individuals or mobs, responding to events with a rage that has more in common with the terrorists' motives than with American values of justice and fairness, may try to cross that line. They act from ignorance, targeting anyone who wears a turban or a head scarf - or throwing bricks or shooting at Islamic places of worship, whose members are just as intent on praying for peace as congregations in churches or synagogues. …

Following the heavy rainfall and flooding, Haiti is once again is in the grip of cholera. The French humanitarian organization, Medecins du Monde, has said that the health condition of the people living in Haiti is under risk.
A NGO has reported that if the resources and health staff are not made aware immediately then there is a possibility that the outbreak of cholera may affect nearby communities. The NGO has further said that the stagnant water of rain and flood have impacted the living conditions of the people making the area a home of bacteria.
The Civil Protection Department has confirmed that the areas of Tabarre, Petionville, Carrefour, Cite Soleil, Delmas, and Grand-Anse are under potential threat. It has been reported that the epidemic was first discovered in Haiti in November, however, none preventive measures have been taken so far.
Two independent studies have unveiled that contaminated water of river have led to the epidemic. One of these studies has claimed that fecal contamination of a local stream that drained into the Artibonite River initiated the epidemic. The second study conducted by experts appointed by UN echoed first study. The said that the Meye Tributary System of the Artibonite River was contaminated with a South Asian strain of Vibrio cholera.

Winterbloom is a collective of four successful, internationally touring singer-songwriters Antje Duvekot, Anne Heaton, Meg Hutchinson, and Natalia Zukerman. While carving their own paths in indie Folk, Americana, Pop and Singer-Songwriter music, each have celebrated one another's accomplishments on the road, and fostered the spirit of collaboration back at home (at one time they all lived in Boston – Anne is now in Chicago, Natalia in Brooklyn).
One magical show in December 2008 moved them tour together in 2009 as "Winterbloom" with a winter/holiday album they wrote and recorded called "Winterbloom: Traditions Rearranged." On their first tour in 2009, they played select shows in the US in the Northeast, Midatlantic and Midwest regions including performing live at Folk Alley, Mountain Stage and First Night Boston. They received rave reviews of both the fresh new recordings and moving live concerts, prompting them to reunite in the summer of 2010 for the Boston Music Festival and Lilith Fair. Last winter, they brought their holiday show to Antje's homeland Germany and also played in The Netherlands

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida - Several months after 10 Connects first asked the six frontrunners in the St. Petersburg mayor's race for their thoughts on a new Rays stadium, the same candidates were asked to react to the initial findings from the ABC Coalition and - once again - what steps they favor in keeping baseball in Tampa Bay long-term.
10 Connects compares the leading candidates to each other and compares how some platforms have changed since May.
Previous Coverage:7/17/09 - REPORT: Group releases first findings on Rays7/10/09 - REPORT: Fans launch campaign to move Rays to Tampa 7/3/09 - BLOG: How the Rays' stadium saga will go down6/16/09 - REPORT: Renovating The Trop too expensive 5/22/09 - BLOG: Location, Location, Location5/8/09 - REPORT: Mayoral candidates debate Rays
Jamie Bennett, City CouncilmanMay '09: Wants privately-funded stadium built in conjunction with a new light rail station downtown. Voter referendum not necessary. Believes St. Pete officials will have to fight to keep the Rays.July '09 : Not convinced ABC findings are accurate when it comes to Tropicana Field's inconvenient location or high cost of repair. Believes The Trop can be retro-fit for long-term viability.Shift: No longer implying a new stadium is necessary to keep Rays, now saying investments in Tropicana Field would be the way to go.
Kathleen Ford, Former City CouncilwomanMay '09: Priority is to enforce current contract that goes until 2027. New stadium should only be built if voters approve a referendum.July '09: Tropicana Field "works just fine" and she'll enforce the team's current use agreement through 2027. No new stadiums without voter approval.Shift: None. If anything, Ford (a lawyer) is drawing a harder line when it comes to enforcing the current deal.
Bill Foster, Former City CouncilmanMay '09: Says a new stadium is a priority or the team will leave sometime after 2016. Rebuilding on current site is preference, but if the team doesn't want to stay downtown, he could live with Gateway. Tampa is not an option.July '09 : Downtown needs to remain a priority, but if a new stadium is to be built, elsewhere in St. Pete is preferable to losing team to another city.Shift: Little. Playing it safe by keeping all options within city open, but backing off the urgency of building team a new stadium.
Deveron Gibbons, AMSCOT executiveMay '09: Believes Rays will leave in 2016 if they don't get a new stadium but voters need to decide(via referendum) if they want to commit money to a new stadium.July '09 : Respects ABC findings but thinks obstacles to downtown could be remedied with light rail and transportation solutions. If downtown won't work, would consider other locations within city limits.Shift: Very little. Hesitant to offer solutions, but seemingly open to anyone's ideas. Like Foster, backing off his previously-mentioned urgency of 2016.
Scott Wagman, Former Scott Paint CEOMay '09: Prefers to keep the team in St. Pete and put a new stadium before a voter referendum, but says letting the team go to a Mid-Pinellas site outside city limits is better than losing them to another city.July '09 : Acknowledges the ABC findings and would consider a North St. Pete site to better suit the team down the road. Also addressed working with the county since its pockets are much deeper than the city's.Shift: None. Wagman was the first candidate to accept a mid-Pinellas/Gateway possibility and the ABC findings give him reason to stay the course.
Larry Williams, Former City CouncilmanMay '09: Says baseball is too important to St. Pete's economy to risk losing it. Would consider other locations in city if downtown absolutely won't work. Voter referendum isn't always in city's best interest.July '09 : Refutes the ABC findings, saying Downtown St. Pete is in fact a viable place for a baseball team to play. Key to helping team long-term is to support them now and make them feel welcome. If a new stadium is necessary, it needs to be downtown.Shift: Actually going in opposite direction of ABC's suggestions. Says team doesn't need a new park and team doesn't need to leave downtown.
Note: All candidates agree that a waterfront stadium is no longer an option and that the ideal situation would be the Rays staying in Downtown St. Petersburg as long as possible.
St. Pete voters will chose a replacement to Mayor Rick Baker either by mail-in ballot or at the polls this fall. The primary is September 1, 2009, with the two top overall vote-getters advancing to the general election on November 3, 2009.

This photo provided by the University of Connecticut, shows a cicada in Pipestem State Park in West Virginia on May 27, 2003.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Any day now, billions of cicadas with bulging red eyes will crawl out of the earth after 17 years underground and overrun the East Coast. The insects will arrive in such numbers that people from North Carolina to Connecticut will be outnumbered roughly 600-to-1. Maybe more.
Scientists even have a horror-movie name for the infestation: Brood II. But as ominous as that sounds, the insects are harmless. They won't hurt you or other animals. At worst, they might damage a few saplings or young shrubs. Mostly they will blanket certain pockets of the region, though lots of pe...

Anne Cassidy despairs over Iceland's Christmas offering by The Tom Reddy Agency: "Iceland has seen fit to hijack that lovely song Pure Imagination sung by Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory and transplant it to a tacky snowy forest housing some pretty repellent-looking food. It's hard not to feel sorry for the little girl who has to walk around this low-rent winter wonderland pretending to be amazed by a Black Forest gateau that no-one's been amazed by since 1971."

A fall tradition has ended in Southern Colorado. And it means hundreds of disappointed families this Halloween. The Pumpkin Man, Nick Venetucci, said his Halloween tradition of handing out free pumpkins is over.
The Pumpkin Man has been putting smiles on the faces of Southern Colorado kids for a half a century. An estimated 1,000,000 children visited his farm near Security over the years. Families and entire school classes make it an annual trek. They love going there to pick out the biggest pumpkins and bring them home.
But not this year. Venetucci said the soil was just too hard this year to raise pumpkins, and it breaks his heart.
Venetucci planted the seeds and nurtured the soil for the past 66 years. That's no small task for the 91-year-old. He still tends to his 200 acres, but he calls it a labor of love.
The end of a tradition will be felt hardest at nearby Venetucci Elementary. It's named after the family, and generations of students have visited the farm.
