Morning MoneyBeat Europe: Short of News, Markets Drift
Good Morning Europe
A tepid open is predicted for local mainboards, after rather lackluster sessions in the U.S. and Asia. The markets are short of news and Wednesday probably won't provide much.
Central bank minutes top the bill. We'll get an insight into policy thinking at both the Bank of England and the U.S. Federal Reserve through the session. U.K. unemployment data are also due. They have enjoyed a brief moment in the global spotlight as the BOE linked them to policy rates as part of forward guidance. However, now that guidance has been tweaked to include a host of other parameters, they are likely of interest to sterling markets only.
Central banks aside, investors will keep half an eye on Ukraine, where antigovernment sentiment has boiled over into long-threatened violence.

Diabetes and pregnancy
Michael Urig, MD, is the Associate Chair and Associate Director of the OB/GYN residency program at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix.
Question: Diabetes runs in my family. Should I worry about it now that I am expecting?
Answer: Often attributed to poor diet and exercise habits and the obesity epidemic in our country, diabetes, a serious condition where the body does not respond properly to sugar, has become more common in recent years. Nearly 8 percent of the United States population is already diagnosed with the disease, and almost 18 million more people unknowingly have it.
Because diabetes can lead to increased risks for congenital abnormalities, death of the developing fetus, and large babies (a condition called macrosomia), all pregnant women should be screened for it.
Women with diabetes have much higher infection rates after they deliver their babies, and macrosomic babies often require delivery by cesarean section and are at higher risk for other complications at delivery and following birth.
Ideally, diabetes should be identified before pregnancy, especially in women with a family history. But all pregnant women should be tested between 25 and 28 weeks of pregnancy for the disease.
If diabetes is discovered before or during pregnancy, the patient's doctor will make recommendations for dietary adjustments, use of diabetic medications and other lifestyle changes. Because untreated diabetes can cause tremendous health problems for both mother and child, it is critical that the pregnant woman monitors her diet and follows the treatment prescribed by her doctor if she is diagnosed with the disease.
The best way for an expectant mother to prevent the onset of diabetes during pregnancy is to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, to ensure weight gain is within the suggested range for her particular pregnancy.

One Direction Do The Harlem Shake
Bye bye Gangnam Style, hello Harlem Shake!
If you have no idea what we're going on about, and you are not yet familiar with the Harlem Shake, you soon will be.
The Harlem Shake is the new dance sensation that's sweeping the nation!
The dance went viral on YouTube this month and it wasn't long before the whole world jumped on the Harlem bandwagon!
The idea of the dance is a group of people filming themselves, starting with one dancing around (usually doing a kind of thrust) wearing a helmet and the others pretending to be unaware.
In the second part, it quickly flicks over to all of the others joining in, and doing pretty much whatever they want.
Ok, so it sounds pretty odd, and you've got to watch some videos to actually get what we're talking about.
It's basically just a bunch of crazy people jumping around and being stupid.
So, now you can understand why we thought the 1D boys would be perfect for the job.
Unfortunately, the boys haven't actually made their own Harlem Shake video, so we thought we could give you the next best thing.
We've put together our own video of clips that looks like they're dancing along with it.
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
We love the videos, have a look on YouTube for some of the others, they're hilarious.
But this is ours, and we think it's the best 😉
… That is until the boys decide to make their own. Hopefully 😀
PS. Click here to see a brand new One Direction Harlem Shake for Red Nose Day (well, sort of).

Battling bi-coastal fight cards take place on Saturday between bantamweights and junior middleweights.
I'll take the little bombers.
IBF bantamweight titleholder Abner Mares (22-0-1, 13 KOs) defends against former titleholder Joseph "King Kong" Agbeko (28-3, 22 KOs) on Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Showtime will televise it and also the semi-main event. We'll come to that later.
Last time we saw these two muscular 118-pounders a public outcry led by the Showtime announcing crew derailed Mares's long-awaited world title celebration. Since he was first signed in 2004 by Golden Boy Promotions he was tabbed as a very likely prospect to gain the championship. Seven years later his victory was a hollow one.
Low blows were the culprit and most accused Mares and only Mares for the infraction while neglecting to mention that Agbeko continued to push the Californian's head down whenever he went to the body. The Ghanan prizefighter was given a pass. Late in the fight an errant knockdown was charged against Agbeko but few observers refused to tally up the points. When it was all tabulated that knockdown was not the difference.
So here they go again. Mares was heading toward a hefty payday against Nonito Donaire but instead must return in the ring against a very smart fighter in Agbeko. Can Mares repeat the win?
"I'm a perfectionist and I'm definitely going to go to the body. I'm going to throw a lot of body punches. If I see that the ref is saying my punches are too low then I'm going to stop doing it," said Mares, who trains in Santa Fe Springs, Ca.
Agbeko has shown class and sportsmanship in previous conversations and called Mares a good fighter. Both are known for abilities to use their strength, punching power and boxing skills to change directions in a fight if necessary.
"I think Agbeko is a more complete fighter than the last two fighters I fought (Yonnhy Perez and Vic Darchinyan)," Mares said. "The way he kind of pulls down and the way he hides his head is pretty good."
The mini-bombers will definitely step up a notch in their rematch.
"Hopefully this time the fighters will decide on what they will do and how they will do it in the ring," said Don King, who promotes Agbeko.
The Armenian born Vic "Raging Bull" Darchinyan (37-3-1, 27 KOs), the IBO champion, returns to the ring in the co-main event at the Honda Center and faces WBA bantamweight titleholder Anselmo Moreno (31-1-1, 11 KOs) a boxing cutie from Panama who has made eight consecutive title defenses.
Can Moreno survive the bludgeoning southpaw attack of Darchinyan?
"I've had eight title defenses, but I needed a name like Vic Darchinyan to put my name out there on the map," says the confident Moreno. "My style fascinates me; when they are right in front of me and I can make them miss. They miss and I counter them. That's the art of boxing. Hit and not be hit."
Confidence in opponents seems to amuse Darchinyan who's no bashful shrinking violet either.
"I know Moreno is a great fighter and wants to take me out, but if I win this fight I want to fight the winner of Agbeko-Mares. I just love to fight," says Darchinyan. "Anyone who comes, I'm just going to destroy him."
Darchinyan never disappoints.

Sat. Showtime, 9 p.m., Abner Mares (22-0-1) vs. Joseph Agbeko (28-3).
Wow,.....he said little bombers... I outweigh these guys by 80 lbs and you couldn't pay me to step into the ring with any of em' LOL... Darchinyan vs Moreno sounds interesting,.. hope evil Vic doesn't end up losing a marathon race trying to catch up to long winded Panamaniam. Even though Mares go away with murder in the last fight he seemed to be just half a step in front of Agbeko,.. but I feel that Agbeko can do better this time around... still can't call it... I'm just going to relax and watch the fireworks.
Me too B-Sug. Mares was fading in that first fight. This will be good. Evil Vic always puts on a good show.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

At the IOSH Conference in Manchester, England this week, risk- and evidence-based management was a prime topic. During a presentation of particular interest, Steve Flynn, the vice president of health, safety, security, and environment (HSSE) for BP, reported on numerous continual improvement actions that BP has taken since the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill in April 2010.
One of the key lessons learned, Flynn reported, was the need for and value of an integrated risk management approach, embedded throughout the value chain. He spoke of this in terms of a balance between people and systems, pointing to the importance of not only focusing on systems, such as a formal EHS management system, but also on the overall culture and perceptions of employees, including management. His comments reflect BP's organizational learning, based on the Grangemouth, Forties Alpha, and Texas City accidents, as well as the Deepwater Horizon spill. Read More

i feel so helpless and overwhelmed. i feel like i can't suceed, i have no motivation and i'm never going to lose weight. i feel as though i have no self-control. i want to eat and eat and eat. when i did i lose self-control? i used to have great self-control. i went a year without soda, a year without fast food. i've given up various things for months, weeks, etc. my big issue right now is sugar. i am way too addicted to sugar in all its forms and can't seem to control myself. so i gave up sugar for lent. i made it one day. granted, day two was valentines day. but i couldn't stop eating those dang candy hearts. i am pretty sure i said something to myself like, you can have 2. i had more like 22. or more. *sigh*.
i don't know where this loss of control is coming from. but i need to get past it. i know coming here will help and it's been far too long. i know i need to spend more time here and i know i can find the motivation and support i need here. i just need to come up with a plan and stick to it. first, i'll make a list of goals to work on.
1. cut out sugar
2. stop drinking soda
3. stop drinking alcohol
4. tell dh about goals and concerns
5. plan meals and snacks better
6. figure out a plan to workout
7. spark daily
8. declutter house
9. get out of debt
10. eat whole foods
i thought a list of 10 would be a good place to start. some are pretty easy and straightforward, others will take a lot of work. like #6. that's gonna be a 4am goal, 4:30 is unbearable some days. others are linked together, like 1-3 that's all sugar in one form or another. one is just easier to conquer than another.
i know talking to dh will help. i'll be accountable, but he may not be as willing to help as i'd like. i know he'll be supportive, but when it comes to him having to say, no, don't eat/buy/drink that candy bar, etc. it'll be tough for him. and i certainly don't want to blame him for my lack of willpower if he doesn't say no and i end up eating something.
just writing this has made me feel better. i love this place and have missed you all the last few months. i hope i'm able to commit and get things rolling forward.

First of all, let me say this: you CAN do this, you CAN find the inner strength & motivation (plus, we are here for you!).
Secondly, I also think you do need to cut down on the amount of goals you are working on at one time. You definitely don't want to get so frustrated that you give up.

I also think you have given yourself too much to chomp off at one time.
I suggest the book, This Year I Will..., by MJ (i think) Ryan. You should be able to find it at the library. It helped me sooooooo much and helped me get my head on straight to be able to accomplish my goal. If you read the book (or you could listen, that is what I did, on cd, let me know what you think. It was a Godsend for me.

I started out where you are now. I couldn't understand how I could ever lose weight. I just knew it was impossible. Then I became determined. I started listening to my body. Eat when I am hungry, stop when I am full. I started losing weight.
The sugar addiction thing is hard to over come, but you can do it. Eat fruits that are sweet like and orange when you want the sweet taste.
How do we lose contro? When did it happen? ????? How did it happen?
Slowly but surely. The same way weight is lost. Slow and sure.
Don't over expect yourself or place impossible demands on yourself that will set you up to feel like you failed at losing weight.
Rome wasn't built in a day. It will not be torn down in a day.
If you do things one at a time, one day at a time you will not feel so overwhelmed.
Hope this helps. Keep sparking!!!

wow, you've got a lot of big big goals there. Maybe you should pare down your list and just put a few on for a week and then see if you can do this; then add another goal. The debt is a big, big goal and you need to work on that together. I don't think I'd put that in your weight loss goals right now. It's hard to get started; I know I can't stop at two of any candy; I'll eat the whole bag that's for sure. Better to have none than any is my motto. I just can't stop. Maybe just declutter one room; that's a goal I have right now, only one room at a time so I don't get defeated before I begin. Don't try to swallow the whole thing right away.
Take your time, take a breath and go slow.
I know you will do this.

How much info can you fit into one book? September 26, 2011
This book is extremely intimidating because it's over 1000 pages long. I guess that's a plus when your learning something new, but if you already know a lot about the subject, it makes things much harder to locate. I doubt anyone could really read this cover to cover, but it's a great book to keep for reference. If you can put in the time to read it, you will learn so many things that you didn't know before that will help you in the future.

The water is overflowing
And carrying away the picture on the edge of the tub
I've held it close to me to try and keep up hopes
That you would see I have no more air to breathe
And I'm hoping for you to come and save me
One more time that I find myself drowning in thoughts of you
Holding my fleeting one last breath
Praying that this hole in my chest will heal
One last breath held in my lungs
Take this away, the one last breath I hold
I'll find an other way for me to fight my pain
The water seeps into my lungs
I tell myself, I'll try to emerge from my prison
I have built from loneliness
But I'm failing at my attempts to leave
You're reaching your hand out, I can't believe it's true
My prayers have been answered
And I know that only you can breath life into me
Completely resuscitate, help me to escape
And take it all away

ABINGDON, Va. — Funeral services were pending late last week for Jack C. Smith, the 81-year-old chairman and founder of K-VA-T Foods, who died Thursday after a brief illness. Smith opened his first store in 1955 — an 8,800-square-foot Piggly Wiggly — in Grundy, Va., in partnership with his father and cousin, and had built it to an 11-store operation by 1984, when he struck out on his own to open stores under the Food City banner.

Veteran quarterback Seneca Wallace's long-awaited debut with the Saints didn't go as planned Friday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Wallace appeared to lose ground in his battle with Luke McCown for the backup job, twice turning the ball over in the third quarter, resulting in 10 points for the Oakland Raiders.
The Saints raced out to a 23-0 lead late in the second quarter, then held on to post a 28-20 victory.
"It was a tale of two halves for us offensively,'' Saints coach Sean Payton said.
Wallace inherited a 23-7 lead from Drew Brees on the final play of the first half, only to see the Raiders close the gap to 23-20 by the time rookie quarterback Ryan Griffin of Tulane moved under center early in the fourth quarter.
Wallace's turnovers came on back-to-back possessions in the third quarter. He fumbled at the Saints' 1 after being blindsided by Raiders defensive end David Bass, who slipped behind rookie left tackle Terron Armstead for the sack and strip.
Raiders' defensive end Ryan Robinson scooped and scored, cutting the Saints' lead to 23-14.
On the Saints' next possession, Raiders middle linebacker Omar Gaither snatched a deflected pass from Wallace out of the air for an interception at the New Orleans 21. A 46-yard field goal from Eddy Carmona trimmed the Saints' lead to 23-17.
A strained groin kept Wallace out of the Saints' first exhibition game against Kansas City. McCown (coach's decision) did not play Friday night.
DID YOU NOTICE?: Line judge Sarah Thomas was part of Friday night's officiating crew headed by referee Jerome Boger.
Thomas worked several practices at Saints camp earlier this month and is on the fast tracks to possibly joining the NFL next season. Thomas correctly called intentional grounding on Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor late in the third quarter.
SIDELINED SAINTS: Eight players did not dress Friday night — WR Marques Colston (foot), WR Courtney Roby (toe), ILB Curtis Lofton (unspecified), ILB Jonathan Vilma (knee), G Andrew Tiller (unspecified), C Eric Olsen (foot), OLB Junior Galette (knee) and OLB Martez Wilson (elbow).
PLENTY OF TIME: Unofficially, Brees had eight seconds of protection before unloading a 16-yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver Kenny Stills with 14 seconds left in the first quarter.
Brees initially stood in the pocket, then rolled left as the Saints' line walled off a slow-developing the-man rush from the Raiders.
BY THE NUMBERS: 11 — Saints sacks after two exhibitions under defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, including seven Friday night.
By comparison, the Saints had four sacks after their first two exhibitions a year ago against Arizona (3) and New England (1) under defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
LAGNIAPPE: On the Raiders' opening possession, which ended on downs, quarterback Matt Flynn of LSU twice missed wide open receivers that would have resulted in touchdowns. … Former Saints cornerback Tracy Porter, a native of Port Allen and one of the stars of Super Bowl XLIV, now is playing for the Raiders. He sustained a groin injury with 11:51 remaining in the second quarter and exited the game with four tackles. … Former Saints safety Usama Young also is on the Raiders' roster … Friday night's exhibition marked the Raiders' first preseason trip to New Orleans.
ON TAP: Training camp officially ended with Thursday's practice. The Saints are expected to return to practice at 4 p.m. Monday in preparation for their third exhibition on Aug. 25 against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium, Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said.

How to Refund an IRA Distribution
Original post by Mark Kennan of Demand Media
If you took an IRA distribution, but then realized you did not need it and wanted to put it back in your IRA, you may be able to count it as a rollover if you act fast. If more than 60 days have elapsed, you are out of luck because the IRS considers the money permanently withdrawn. However, if you can act quickly enough, you can put the money back in the IRA without having to pay any taxes or penalties. If you complete the rollover, you also need to report it on your taxes.
Step 1
Deposit the IRA distribution back in the IRA within 60 days of receiving the distribution. The IRS permits you to roll over money back in the same account from which it came.
Step 2
Report the amount of the withdrawal as a nontaxable IRA distribution on either Form 1040 or Form 1040A of your income taxes. On Form 1040, report the amount on line 15a. On Form 1040, report the amount on line 11a.
Step 3
Report the amount of the withdrawal that you did not put back in your IRA, if any, as a taxable IRA distribution on either Form 1040 or Form 1040A of your income taxes. If you rolled all of the distribution back in, enter "0." On Form 1040, report the amount on line 15b. On Form 1040, report the amount on line 11b.
Step 4
Write "Rollover" next to the taxable portion of your IRA distribution on your income tax return to notify the IRS you refunded the money back as a rollover. As long as you refunded the entire amount, you will owe no income taxes. However, you can only perform one rollover per account per 12-month period.

Evidence of censorship at disclose.tv:
Did you know that GCN the network which carries Alex Jones and Jeff Rense is an ABC affiliate? Yes, ABC as in the Disney-owned American Broadcasting Corporation the epitome of mainstream corporate media and home of propagandists such as Peter Jennings. It is well known that the CIA have been allowed by our past Presidents and members of the congress to operate through our News sources and media and do mind control experimentation on the public (Operation Mockingbird, MK ULTRA)
Controlled opposition are preventing any real movement for justice or eco-peace from developing. A lot of people who follow mainstream media and watch TV see the disinfo in alternative media, that fuels their support for mainstream media=perpetual mind control I know people that prove it. People aren't recognizing the true conspiracy because of controlled opposition.
THE SOPA protests were orchestrated and planned showed up in the media everywhere like clockwork, why doesn't that same activism happen to end cannabis prohibition? The war on drugs is a disaster. If the internet was at stake repealing the laws against cannabis are important how else would the message get out without the internet its been a great tool! A video promoted at disclose tv had a million views when I seen they were promoting it where is the love where is the activism for ending cannabis prohibition?
In 2003, Rick Simpson discovered his Cancer Cure High THC Hemp Oil.
In 2007, the World Health Organization reported worldwide Cancer caused 21,643 deaths per day (7.9 Million Deaths per year)
Countless thousands of children starve to death every single day.
Cannabis (Hemp) would solve world hunger and most of the world problems like the energy crisis, deforestation, disease, repair our soils and renew with vital nutrients and so much more it would take too long to list.
Disclose.tv is Exposed, they allowed their moderators to go along with this. That should tell you something, also consider my other video showing my censored topic.
A large amount of conspiracy websites, blogs and forums have recently become highly commercialized. (it almost seems as if conspiracies have become a trend and a money-maker)
The movement has been compartmentalized and separated. Each conspiracy theorist has his own views and is unwilling to work with others. The propaganda being pushed in the media has diluted the truth so heavily that it is extremely hard to decipher the truth from fiction. Some leaders of these movements have become so comfortable in their current situations that they fail to mention the important issues, possibly because they are afraid of losing their current income and influence.
disclose.tv receives about 27,910 unique visitors and 83,171 (2.98 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $92.94 per day. Estimated value is $37,870.62.

Community Gardens 2010
From OasisNYC
←Older revision | Newer revision→
Updated community gardens mapped on OASIS
January 2011 update: GrowNYC released an in-depth review of its survey of community gardens throughout New York City. The GrowNYC website has more info. The report is accessible here (PDF).
(August 2010)
GrowNYC (formerly Council on the Environment of New York City) has just completed its latest inventory of all community gardens in New York. As part of a longstanding partnership with OASIS, we've added the GrowNYC data to OASIS's interactive maps, in time for local activists and others to provide input into proposed new rules (PDF) governing these gardens. As Flatbush Gardener and others have noted, these rules will have far-reaching impacts on which gardens will continue to be protected from development (or if they will be protected).
(Breaking news: even the New York Times has editorialized against the proposed rules (8/3/10). We'll see if the city takes heed.)
In the meantime -- especially before the public hearing on August 10 -- you can use the OASIS website to find a garden near you, determine its protection status under the expiring rules (adopted in 2002), and find out what agency (if any) has jurisdiction over the garden. You can also find out when it was founded, what is grown there, and if you can volunteer. If you'd like to start a new garden, you can also use the OASIS maps to obtain helpful information such as property ownership, nearby resources such as schools, and surrounding land use patterns.
For more information about the latest community garden inventory, contact GrowNYC (212-788-7927 or firstname.lastname@example.com). You can also contact GreenThumb for more garden information.
What's new
What's new is the garden data itself -- information about many of the gardens, as well any new gardens or garden areas that may have changed. Information for about half (approximately 200) of the gardens was updated in the past year.
For example, the "LDC of Broadway" garden in Bushwick has an updated description as well as updated info about membership/volunteering and hours of operation (click here for the info and the map).
GrowNYC spent a year surveying garden groups, coordinating with GreenThumb and other garden coalitions, and interviewing gardeners to get updated information. Lenny Librizzi coordinated the effort (see contact info above), and Mara Gittleman -- a Compton Fellow -- designed, implemented, and analyzed the survey (and updated the map layer for OASIS). Her fellowship was supported by the Compton Foundation. Mara is @farmingconcrete on Twitter and at her blog.
Before this update, the gardens data on OASIS was from circa 2008. Occasionally we'd update a garden profile if someone sent us (and GrowNYC) new info, but this is the first (and only) comprehensive, citywide update of gardens since then.
Search for gardens
OASIS provides a dedicated search tool to locate any of the 480+ gardens across the city. (Many more are located on school or other city property -- these are shown on the map, but not included in the search tool.)
The search tool displays an alphabetical list of all community gardens. Selecting a garden will zoom to its location on the OASIS interactive map.
The search page also provides options to search by street address, borough, ZIP Code, and neighborhood. If any gardens are in or around the areas you've searched, they'll be displayed on the map. You'll need to click on each one to obtain more detailed information.
Finding gardens on the map
If you're already at the map, you can use the "Site Search" option to type just a few letters or a word included in the garden's name (or you can type the full name). As you're typing, you'll see a list of items that include your search term (see example below).
Then click the name of the garden you want to map.
(Ten items are displayed at a time; scroll to the next page in the list if more than 10 gardens include the text you entered.)
The map shows each garden location in green. The gardens are labeled by name. If you happen to be zoomed in to an area on the map and you see a nearby garden, you can click on it for more information.
Detailed garden info
Once you zoom to a garden on the map, you'll see it highlighted in orange. Click the "Location Report" tab for more info: name, address, jurisdiction, 2002 settlement status, and year founded. From here you can click a link to a page of detailed information and photos (if available).
Many gardens are considered "vacant land" by the NYC Dept of Finance. They may not generate property tax revenue, and they usually don't have any buildings. If you've selected a garden on OASIS that happens to be on property considered vacant, the Location Report will show a brown patch that indicates the city officially considers the land vacant. But we've added a note that says "Actual use: Community Garden".
Garden links
OASIS provides garden-specific URLs. They look like this:
If you type this example into your browser, it will zoom directly to the La Plaza Cultural garden in the East Village. You can then tweet this link, use it in your website or blog, or send it in an email.
The "garden:28" refers to an ID system used by GrowNYC. But you don't need to know the garden ID; you can just click on a garden on the OASIS map, and we'll generate the garden-specific URL for you. It's displayed in the Location Report.
Bird's eye view of each garden
When you select a garden on the map, you'll also see an orange "camera icon" on the garden location. Click it to display a bird's eye view of the property (from Bing maps).
Use the N/S/E/W icon in the upper left of the bird's eye view to see different perspectives on the area. This can be especially helpful if the garden is next to a tall building (like a school). Rotating the bird's eye view will show you what the garden looks like on the other side of the building.
Land use and more
OASIS provides a wealth of information about the city. For example, you can display land use patterns around your garden. The example below shows color coding to indicate predominant residential, commercial, institutional, and other land use types.
You can also display nearby schools, local environmental stewards (in partnership with the Forest Service's "StewMap" project), NYC public housing, libraries, and more. Just check the items on the "Legend" tab that you want to show on the map.
Clicking on any spot on OASIS's maps provides great detail about that location. The example below shows the property-level details for one of the parcels that makes up the El Jardin de Paradiso garden.
More information
The gardens section at the OASIS website has background about the history of GrowNYC's effort to map them. GrowNYC's website has more info, and GreenThumb provides great resources.
For more information about how to use the OASIS website and maps, view our video tutorials and updates about the website itself.

Rankin's brooding Scottish Inspector John Rebus has solved numerous mysteries,
puzzlers and mind games over the course of 20 years in 16 novels on the U.K. best-seller
lists, but how to best care for a son with special needs wasn't one of them.
task fell to Rankin and his wife Miranda when their youngest son Kit, now 12,
was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by
little or no speech, jerky motor skills but a generally happy disposition with
frequent smiles and laughter.
The Rankins lived on the edge
without any emergency fund while Ian struggled to survive as a novelist, first
in London, then rural France. They moved back to Edinburgh in 1996, where Ian
was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2002.
Rankin is proud not only to have succeeded beyond his wildest expectations as
a perennial top seller in the U.K., but to have provided the deep emergency fund
that will attend to Kit's special needs for the rest of his life.
is Kit doing these days?
all right. He's still not walking, doesn't talk, can't communicate, but life is
still a ball. Everything he does in life is exciting and humorous to him, whether
it's just watching noisy buses going past, going to a cafe where music is being
played and people are being loud, going swimming or just walking down by the canal.
We take him horseback riding on Saturdays, to a special-needs riding unit on the
edge of the city. He has a ball. It's not well known; I don't know how many examples
of Angelman Syndrome there are in the world. There are a couple of hundred in
the U.K.

HINCKLEY TWP. — Two people were killed when their Hinckley Hills Road home exploded Monday morning, authorities said.
State fire marshal investigators confirmed two victims were recovered from the scene of the explosion and fire at 1488 Hinckley Hills Road. Positive identification of the victims had not been determined at press time, according to the Division of State Fire Marshal.
Police Chief Tim Kalavsky said the home belonged to Fred and Claire Martin, who are in their 60s.
Throughout the day, rescuers worked under the assumption the couple was home when the blast occurred, Kalavsky said, because both cars registered to the Martins were in the driveway and family members were unable to determine where else they might be.[audio:http://medinagazette.northcoastnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/9114_1.mp3|titles=9114_1]
The Division of State Fire Marshal reported the bodies were pulled out in the afternoon within a few hours of each other, and the cause of the blast has not yet been determined.
The family's dog, described by neighbors as a large poodle named Jake, managed to escape the brunt of the blast and survived with minor injuries, Kalavsky said. The dog was found wandering behind the house about an hour after rescuers arrived, he said, and was transported to the Hinckley Animal Hospital.
Neighbors said the family's black cat is still missing but was seen wandering the neighborhood just before the explosion.
The house, which was built in 1830, was heated by propane, Kalavsky said, which may have contributed to the explosion.
Hinckley firefighter Dan Landis said there was almost no structure left by the time rescuers arrived.
"The house was completely engulfed," he said.
Neighbors reportedly called 911 after hearing a loud explosion around 7:20 a.m.
Teri Holmberg, who lives next door to the Martins, said she and her husband, a Hinckley volunteer firefighter, were home at the time of the explosion.
"It was like a sonic boom," Holmberg said. "It shook the house."
She said her husband checked around their house for the source of the noise before looking out the window toward their neighbors' property.
"He runs in and says, 'Dear God, the Martins' house is on fire,' " she said.
Just Sunday, Holmberg said, her husband was helping the Martins dig their car out of their snowy driveway.
"They're wonderful neighbors," Holmberg said. "I can't speak highly enough about them. I feel like I have a hole in my heart."
Claire Martin was an English teacher at Highland Middle School for 20 years before leaving the school in 1999, Highland spokeswoman Dawn Marzano said.
"Some of the Fire Department staff, they probably had her as a schoolteacher," Holmberg said.
She said Claire and Fred have three children and at least four grandchildren.
One of their sons was at the scene Monday afternoon but did not wish to comment.
In addition to Hinckley police and fire departments, units responded from Bath Township, Brunswick Hills Township, Richfield, Granger Township and the American Red Cross.

A young dog, who was confiscated from his owner who was being evicted from his home, was taken to the Chicago Animal Care and Control facility in Ill. Today, the dog named "Zucchini," is behind bars, as if he did something wrong.
On Tuesday, the Facebook page CACC Transfer Team, which is run by volunteers, wrote this information about the recently impounded dog:
male ...seems young...soooo broken and sad in cage...just came in when I was there....took a treat sweetly...he was confiscated after an eviction.he was tied to a huge rope in his intake pic...property 7/22
Zucchini is confused and depressed...he lost his person, along with everything that was once familiar and comforting to him. As soon as Zucchini becomes "city property" on July 22, he will be available to a rescue agency.
Zucchini is one of the many dogs who are labeled "rescue only." The CACC Transfer Team promotes these dogs to better their odds of making it out of the animal control facility alive. Rescue only dogs will only be released to approved Homeward Bound partners. Why rescue only? Click here to read more.
Readers can help Zucchini by networking his information, which increases his visibility to potential rescuers.
- Zucchini is available July 22

EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon's nationally ranked cross country teams travel to Terre Haute, Ind., for the Pre-Nationals meet on Saturday. The men's 8,000 meter race beings the day at 8 a.m. Pacific, followed by the women's 6,000 meter race at 8:40 a.m.
The meet is the final regular season competition for the Ducks who are ranked No. 4 for the men and No. 6 for the women. The races are being held on the LaVern Gibson Championship Course, the same course that will host the NCAA Championships on Nov. 23.
Oregon's teams will run head-to-head against a number of the top squads in the nation.
Amongst a massive field of 52 teams, the men will go up against No. 1 Oklahoma State, No. 2 Colorado, No. 9 Tulsa, No. 10 Princeton, No. 12 Indiana, No. 18 Iona, No. 19 Boise State and No. 29 Stanford.
The women will see No. 2 Florida State, No. 5 Georgetown, No. 11 Stanford, No. 12 Colorado, No. 14 Michigan No. 16 Virginia, No. 18 Villanova, No. 19 Oklahoma State, No. 20 Butler, No. 21 William & Mary, No. 23 Princeton and No. 27 Penn State.
The Pre-Nationals meet could mark the Oregon debuts of junior Tanguy Pepiot and senior Eric Jenkins. Additionally, it will be the first race of the season for senior Mac Fleet. The men will also look to freshmen Edward Cheserek, who won the Boston XC Invite and was second at the Bill Dellinger Invitational, and Jake Leingang, the runner-up in Boston. Other entries for the men include senior Parker Stinson, juniors Jeramy Elkaim, Ryan Pickering and Daniel Winn, and sophomores Chris Brewer and Matthew Melancon.
Among the Ducks' women's entries for this weekend's race is junior Lindsay Crevoiserat, the transfer from Connecticut who is slated to make her Oregon debut. The Pre-Nationals meet will also mark the first appearance in 2013 for sophomore Annie Leblanc. Oregon has also entered senior Sarah Penney, juniors Mia Elbon and Megan Patrignelli, sophomores Molly Grabill and Abbey Leonardi, and freshmen Therese Haiss, Ashley Maton and Maggie Schmaedick. Patrignelli has been Oregon's top finisher in all three races this season.
The Ducks are coming off a Dellinger meet two weeks ago that saw the men hold off Boise State for their first Dellinger win since 2010, while the women finished second to Washington.

Ducks WEAR Pink for Dellinger Invitational
The University of Oregon men's and women's cross country teams wore pink at the Oct. 5 Bill Dellinger Invitational in recognition of October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A number of the singlets worn by the Ducks are now being auctioned online at goducks.com. For more information on National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, visit www.nbcam.org.
For the second straight week, freshman Edward Cheserek led the fourth ranked Men of Oregon to a hard fought seven-point victory, this time over Boise State and nine other teams, Oct. 5 at the eighth annual Bill Dellinger Invitational. The Duck women ran second to No. 7 Washington on a sunny fall morning before an estimated crowd of 1,500 at Springfield Country Club. From the outset, the Duck men were engaged in a tight contest with Boise State that included a fall in the first 50 meters by one of Oregon's top runners, Jeramy Elkaim, and was not decided until Oregon's fifth runner, Ryan Pickering, crossed the tape in 16th, giving the men their first Dellinger victory since 2010. Cheserek was one of three Ducks in the top six, but the Broncos placed all five of their runners in the top 13. The freshman from Newark, N.J., took second, covering the 8,000 meter course in 24:00. Senior Parker Stinson took fourth for Oregon in 24:17, and the men also saw a strong performance from Daniel Winn, who was sixth in 24:22 as the junior from Portland, Ore., turned is his best race as a Duck. The Broncos, which came into the meet ranked sixth in the West Region, countered with Allan Schroeder taking fifth in 24:19 to lead a BSU finish that went 5-7-9-11-13. However, the Ducks showed enough depth to make up for Elkaim's fall with sophomore Matthew Melancon 10th in 24:26 and Pickering, a junior from West Palm Beach, Fla., moving up to 16th on the final lap in 24:39. The Ducks also had freshman Chris Brewer 21st in 24:44, with Elkaim recovering for a 40th place finish in 25:13. Oregon won with 32 points, followed by BSU with 39, and Washington and No. 8 Portland tied with 87. In the women's race, the Huskies placed five runners in the top 13 to clip No. 5 Oregon. Washington won with 30 points, followed by Oregon with 52, Boise State with 63, Portland with 81 and Wichita State with 163. Megan Patrignelli led Oregon with her sixth place finish. The junior from Monroe, N.Y., covered the 5,000 meter course in 16:57. The Ducks also had sophomore Molly Grabill 14th in 17:20, sophomore Abbey Leonardi 15th in 17:23, freshman Maggie Schmaedick 16th in 17:24 and senior Sarah Penney 18h in 17:34.
Freshmen Edward Cheserek and Jake Leingang finished 1-2 to lead the 12th-ranked Men of Oregon to a striking victory Sept. 27 at the Boston College XC Invitational. The Duck women were nearly as impressive, overcoming a frightening fall by team leader Sarah Penney and finishing second only to top-ranked Providence on a sunny fall afternoon at Franklin Park. The Duck men used a huge push over the final 1,000 meters to pull away from the field and win with 22 points. No. 9 Syracuse was second with 69 points, No. 25 Providence was third (81), No. 8 Wisconsin was fourth (88) and Northeastern was fifth (157). The men placed six runners in the top nine, led by Cheserek's win in 24:11. The freshmen from Kenya by way of Newark, N.J., made the most of his first turn in the green and yellow, crossing the tape inches ahead of Leingang for individual honors. Leingang, a 11-time state champion from Bismarck, N.D., also clocked in at 24:11. Ryan Pickering, a junior from West Palm Beach, Fla., finished fourth in 24:14. Sophomore Matthew Melancon, from Eugene, Ore., claimed the No. 7 spot overall in 24:18, while Jeramy Elkaim wrapped up the Ducks' scoring; the junior from Livingston, N.J., was eighth in 24:20. For good measure, the Ducks had junior Daniel Winn, from Portland, Ore., ninth, also in 24:20. The third-ranked Duck women overcame a fall by Penney that left her bloody from a long gash on the back of her leg to finish second overall. No. 1 Providence won with 50 points, followed by Oregon with 85, No. 9 Cornell with 101, No. 24 Boston College with 110 and Wisconsin with 111 to round out the top 5. Megan Patrignelli picked up the stick for her fallen teammate and placed sixth overall. The junior from Monroe, N.Y., covered the 5,000 meter course in 17:22. Emily Sisson of Providence was the overall winner in 16:51. Freshman Maggie Schmaedick was Oregon's No. 2 runner on Friday. The Eugene, Ore., native took 11th overall in 17:33. Sophomore Molly Grabill, from Poway, Calif., was a second behind Schmaedick in 12th (17:34). Abbey Leonardi made a successful return to her native New England. The sophomore from Kennebunkport, Maine, placed 17th overall in 17:35 for the Ducks. Penny, from Paradise Valley, Ariz., recovered to check in as Oregon's No. 5 scorer, placing 40th in 18:13.
The third-ranked Oregon women's cross country team swept the season opening PSU Viking Classic Sept. 6 at Blue Lake Park in Fairview, Ore. The Duck women defeated Oregon State 22-33, Portland 16-30 and Portland State 15-43. The No. 12 men fell to No. 8 Portland 25-31 and defeated Portland State 15-45. Megan Patrignelli led a 1-2-4-5 finish for the women. The junior from Monroe, N.Y., won the three-mile race in 16:08.49. Patrignelli was backed by an inspired performance from Molly Grabill, who placed second in 16:10.52. It was a satisfying race for Grabill, a sophomore from Poway, Calif., who was running in the Oregon singlet for the first time since being in a car accident last November that was caused when someone threw a rock off an Interstate 5 overpass through her windshield. The women also counted a third place finish from sophomore Abbey Leonardi (16:25.26), a fourth place finish from junior Mia Elbon (16:34.37) and a 13th place showing from freshman Skylar Evans (16:52.56). For the men. Ryan Pickering finished the four-mile race second in 20:13.37 with Daniel Winn, from nearby Portland, third in 20:13.99. The Duck men also had Matthew Melancon in sixth (20:20.21), Tim Costin ninth (20:27.33), Chris Brewer 12th (20:41.11) and Jeramy Elkaim 13th (20:45.05).
In the last half century, no other conference can match the league's combined 20 NCAA men's and women's team championships in cross country.

The championship season is up next with the Pac-12 meet Nov. 2 at Colorado, the NCAA West Regional Nov. 15 in Sacramento and the NCAA Championships Nov. 23 at Terre Haute, Ind.
Oregon found the right combination of seasoned veterans, talented newcomers and a couple of key transfers to win the NCAA championship in 2012. The Ducks will again look for that formula to produce another run to the national stage in 2013. For the first time in four years, Oregon will not have its dependable ace Jordan Hasay toeing the line. Also gone are key seniors Alexi Pappas, Katie Conlon and Anne Kesselring. In their place, senior Sarah Penney looks to lead a young, but promising group of runners in 2013. Penney (Paradise Valley, Ariz.) was an important member of the 2012 squad, scoring among the team's top five at both the Pac-12 and NCAA West meets and coming in as the team's sixth runner at the NCAA Championships. She'll be backed by runners who have extensive championship experience. Two of those runners will be new to Oregon, but not to the NCAA meet - junior Lindsay Crevoiserat and sophomore Julia Zrinyi. Both are transfers from Connecticut who helped the Huskies finish eighth at the NCAA Championships last season. Crevoiserat (Glastonbury, Conn.) finished 42nd overall at the 2013 NCAA meet, while Zrinyi (Winnipeg, Manitoba) was an NCAA championships qualifier following a pair of top-30 finishes at the regional and Big East meets as a freshman. Sophomore Annie Leblanc (Repentigny, Quebec) turned in an under-the-radar performance at the NCAA Championships. Her 68th place finish as the Ducks' No. 5 finisher locked up the title for Oregon. Leblanc also scored at the Pac-12 and NCAA West meets, making her the only returning runner to score in all three races. Sophomore Abbey Leonardi (Kennebunkport, Maine) also saw action in all three championship races last season and will use that experience to improve as a sophomore. Junior Megan Patrignelli (Monroe, N.Y.) has proven to be a consistent performer for the Ducks in her career with Pac-12 championship experience. Sophomore Allie Woodward (Gren Bay, Wis.) was the Pac-12 freshman of the year in 2012 after finishing fifth at the conference meet and seventh at the West Regional. Oregon can also look for depth from a handful of other returners: junior Laura Roesler (Fargo, N.D.) sophomores Ally Aschbacher (Portland, Ore.), Claudia Francis (Queens, N.Y.) and Molly Grabill (Poway, Calif.) and redshirt freshmen Skylar Evans (Crozier, Va.) and Ashley Maton (Bend, Ore.). Grabill redshirted the 2012 season but was the only freshman to run at the 2011 NCAA Championships for the Ducks. Replacing Hasay and company will be no easy task, but a combination of transfers and freshmen look to bring a new influx of talent to the course. Belmont transfer Maria Elbon could be an immediate contributor for the Ducks. The Nashville, Tenn., native comes to Eugene with two seasons of eligibility remaining. Senior transfer Samantha Murphy (Perth, Ontario) is a middle distance standout from Illinois. The bountiful freshman class includes a number of state champions from across the country: Ali Cash (Lenexa, Kan.), Therese Haiss (Solon, Ohio), Nikki Hiltz (Santa Cruz, Calif.), Kelly O'Neill (Lake Oswego, Ore.) and Maggie Schmaedick (Eugene, Ore.).
After returning to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2010, the Men of Oregon look to build on that experience with six runners returning from the Ducks' 20th place national finish. This fall, Oregon will look to senior All-Americans Parker Stinson and Mac Fleet to lead the squad. Stinson, from Austin, Texas, is a two-time NCAA Cross Country Championships qualifier, while Fleet (San Diego, Calif.) was splendid in his triumphant return to running - winning the 2013 NCAA Outdoor 1,500 meter crown - after missing nearly two years due to injury. The rest of the squad will be filled out by rising underclassmen and newcomers. Sophomore Matthew Melancon (Eugene, Ore.) could be at the top of the returners. He is the Ducks' top returning finisher from the 2013 NCAA Championships (97th). He added a 31st-place finish at the Pac-12 meet and is coming off a solid outdoor season. Right there with Melancon are juniors Jeramy Elkaim (Livingston, N.J.), who shined with a 32nd place finish at the NCAA West Regional, and Ryan Pickering (West Palm Beach, Fla.), who was 32nd at the league championships. Two other seniors have extensive postseason experience. Both Ben DeJarnette (Mechanicsville, Va.) and Cole Watson (Rogue River, Ore.) ran at the Pac-12 and NCAA West meets in 2012. DeJarnette impressed earlier in the year with his third place finish at the Bill Dellinger Invitational - his best run as a Duck - and went on to earn the NCAA Elite 89 award for men's cross country as the competitor with the highest grade point average at the NCAA Championships. Other veterans in the mix in 2013 include seniors Tim Costin (Springfield, Ore.), and Brett Johnson (Ocean City, N.J.), juniors Colby Alexander (Strongsville, Ohio), Boru Guyota (Portland, Ore.) and Daniel Winn (Portland, Ore.), and sophomores Chris Brewer (Vista, Calif.), Russell Hornsby (Williamsburg, Va.) and Matt Jablonski (Cockeysville, Md.). The Ducks also welcome an exciting and talented crop of newcomers, led by Edward Cheserek (Newark, N.J.) and Eric Jenkins (Portsmouth, N.H.), a transfer from Northeastern who ran the fastest 5,000 meters by an American under the age of 21 last year (13:18.57). Other freshmen looking to make an immediate impact include Jackson Darland (Eugene, Ore.), Bryan Fernandez (Santa Barbara, Calif.), Jake Leingang (Bismarck, N.D.), Chris Mulverhill (Austin, Texas), Travis Neuman (Bend, Ore.), Dan Oekerman (Portland, Ore.), Sam Prakel (Versailles, Ohio) and Alec Smith (Portland, Ore.). Oregon also went to Europe for the addition of French runner Tanguy Pepiot, and added another Ivy League transfer, Nathan Mathabane (Portland, Ore.) from Princeton. In recent seasons, the men have experienced success on a national level rarely seen in TrackTown USA. Oregon won back-to-back NCAA titles in 2007 and 2008, and followed that with a runner-up finish in 2009. Those results harken back to the era of the legendary Steve Prefontaine, when the Ducks won national titles in 1971, 1973 and 1974, were second in 1970 and third in 1972.
The 2013 Women's Indoor Track & Field national title was the 21st NCAA championship in school history. The others are men's outdoor track & field in 1962, 1964, 1965, 1970 and 1984, women's outdoor track & field in 1985, men's indoor track & field in 2009, women's indoor track & field in 2010, 2011 and 2012, men's cross country in 1971, 1973, 1974, 1977, 2007 and 2008, women's cross country in 1983, 1987 and 2012, and men's basketball in 1939. Additionally, Oregon's acrobatics and tumbling team won NCATA national titles in 2011-12-13.
Historic Hayward Field will host the 2014 NCAA Championships June 11-14. It will be the 12th time that the historic venue has played host to the national meet. Previously, Hayward Field hosted the NCAA Championships in 1962, 1964, 1972, 1978, 1984, 1988, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2010 and 2013. Only Chicago, with 13 championships between 1921 and 1936, has hosted more NCAA meets.
In addition to the annual Prefontaine Classic, Hayward Field has recently served as host to the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials and the 2009 and 2011 USA Track & Field Championships. Eugene will again host the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2016, as well as the 2014 IAAF World Junior Championships and the 2015 USA Championships.

Labour says independent food safety agency required
The Labour Party says repeated incidents of New Zealand food exports being blocked by overseas markets this year are a sign the Primary Industries super ministry isn't working.
Labour's food safety spokesperson Damien O'Connor says the ban on Fonterra products by Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus is a sign the Ministry for Primary Industries isn't able to reassure New Zealand's trading partners about the safety of its food.
He says the ministry is simply too big.
"The food safety authority, biosecurity New Zealand, agriculture, forestry, fisheries has all been lumped into one government agency, one super ministry, the Ministry for Primary Industries and I consider that it's got far too broad a range of responsibilities and it's failing in some of them."
Mr O'Connor says the solution is to separate the food safety authority from the ministry again and make it independent.

The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts
At the direction of Wallis Annenberg, the Annenberg Foundation provided major funding towards the restoration and repurposing of a historic Beverly Hills post office building into a performing arts and cultural facility for the presentation of theater, dance, music and professional children's theater.
The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (The Wallis) officially opened its doors on October 15, 2013 with a dedication ceremony and a series of inaugural events. Public programming began on November 8, 2013 with the Martha Graham Dance Company.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and built in 1933, the Beverly Hills Post Office was constructed as a Work Projects Administration (WPA) project. In 1993, after six decades of service, the Postal Service declared the historic building "surplus property," and moved postal operations to a new facility. A group of concerned community leaders appealed to the City of Beverly Hills with hopes of preserving the landmark for its citizens.
In 2004 Wallis Annenberg directed a $15 million lead grant from the Annenberg Foundation for the preservation of the historic Beverly Hills Post Office and its transformation into a new performing arts center. The Annenberg Foundation has since provided additional funding, including a $10 million grant. An additional $40 million has been raised to launch The Wallis.
This new venue transforms a city block into a vibrant arts destination and a major cultural and education hub for audiences of every age, with two distinct, elegant buildings: the renovated historic 1934 Italianate-style Beverly Hills Post Office and the new, contemporary 500-seat, state-of-the-art Bram Goldsmith Theater. Within the Post Office, existing spaces have been transformed into the 150-seat Lovelace Studio Theater, a café and gift shop. The grounds also feature a sunken sculpture garden, elegant landscaping and a promenade terrace.
The Wallis produces and presents productions with the participation of established stage artists.
In 2014 The Wallis began a year-round program of professional theater classes for young people ages eight to eighteen, with classrooms and administrative areas located in the post office. Drawing from the rich talent pool of Los Angeles's entertainment industry, a faculty of professionals and theater educators serve as directors and teachers of the program, providing a diverse arts curriculum. The school offers exciting, unique opportunities for students to study with guest artists that are appearing at the Goldsmith and the Lovelace.
