CSPI Supports American Heart Association's Call for Lower Sodium Recommendation
New "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" Due Later This Month
January 13, 2011
WASHINGTONThe Center for Science in the Public Interest says that Americans should aim to consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per dayfar less than either the 2,300 mg recommended by the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans, or the 4,000 mg of sodium that the average adult currently consumes. CSPI is supporting a new advisory from the American Heart Association, published in the journal Circulation, which calls on the public, health professionals, the food industry, and the government to intensify efforts to reduce the amount of sodium (salt) Americans consume daily.
Without question, the amounts of salt used in packaged and restaurant foods make it the deadliest ingredient in the food supply, causing high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, and kidney problems, said CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson. We hope that the soon-to-be-released revision of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans reflects the scientific consensus that Americans are consuming too much salt. Even though reducing consumption to 2,300 milligramsthe target in the current Guidelineswould represent great progress, we urge the new Guidelines to provide the more desirable 1,500-mg target.
As part of the AHAs goal to reduce deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent, the organization is recommending a population-wide reduction of sodium intake to less than 1,500 mg daily. In 2005, CSPI filed a regulatory petition with the Food and Drug Administration calling on the agency to regulate salt as a food additive, and set reasonable limits on the amounts that can be used in different categories of processed food.
The next version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, produced jointly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services, is expected to be released later this month.

Twenty-five years ago, farmers in China's north-central Shannxi Province made an extraordinary discovery. While drilling for a well, they inadvertently unearthed more than 7,000 unique terra cotta figures from the 3rd century. This massive army warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians was part of the extensive necropolis of emperor Qin Shihuangdi. Only a fraction of the site has ever been excavated.
These cast-bronze warriors are reproductions of actual statues unearthed at the site. Handmade by artisans in a small workshop outside of Beijing, they capture the individual detail of the originals in a handsome piece of artwork.

The package user has section control commands that mirror the internal controls used in LaTeX. In particular, the user may express the section level explicitly in a \startsection command, rather than by name (as in \section, \subsection, etc., in LaTeX itself, defined in terms of an internal command). By using this \startsection, the user may have astounding depths of sections, which is sometimes useful in extreme typesetting applications. A \sectionstyle command controls the appearance of predefined, or user-defined sections, and \DeclareSection allows the user to create sectioning or caption commands, or to modify existing ones.
The package also extends user control of the appearance of tables of contents, etc., using a command \DeclareTOCEntry.

The body of a former Chicago Cubs pitcher Frank Castillo was pulled from Bartlett Lake on Monday afternoon after he apparently drowned Sunday, authorities said.
Friends reported that Castillo, 44, failed to re-emerge from the water after jumping in from a boat, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Castillo signed with the Chicago Cubs in 1987 and played for several MLB teams from 1991 to 2005.
By the time rescuers arrived on scene Sunday, Castillo had been under water for nearly 15 minutes, said Deputy Joaquin Enriquez, a spokesman for the Maricopa Sheriff's Office.
A dive team searched for his body for two hours Sunday afternoon but had to stop because of darkness. At 8 a.m. Monday the search resumed, and his his body was recovered bout 2:30 p.m., 24 hours after his friends reported he drowned, a Sheriff's Office statement says.
Family and friends of Castillo said that the he was not a good swimmer, and deputies do not believe alcohol was a factor in the drowning, Enriquez said.

How big is your motorcycle? As big as a car, truck, delivery van? Certainly not. One of the reasons motorcycles are so popular for commuting is their inherently tiny footprint in comparison to even the classic econo-box automobile. Unfortunately, we all know this very thing is what makes bikes more susceptible to being involved in a crash with another vehicle. Lack of steel, glass and plastic around we humans further makes this smallness more risky. But it's a risk we live with. Is there a way to be more visible? Certainly. Aside from flashing headlights, brake lights, reflective riding apparel, the rider must do whatever it takes to make themselves more visible.
While riding, angles are everything. Angles, meaning the attitude of angle the motorcycle is to a potential crash point, aka another vehicle. Avoiding a crash with another moving object is actually quite easy. Just don't occupy the same space as that object. Unfortunately, if the big object doesn't see the smaller one, physics takes over and when both come together, bang -- you're toast. More on the angle thing shortly.
One particularly problematic scenario is when the motorcycle is at a direct right-angle to an auto pulling out onto the same roadway the bike is traveling. Picture the rider, tooling down this back road, minding his or her own business. Mr. SUV driving a vehicle way above his abilities comes to a stop at an intersecting road. What angle is the big object viewing the motorcycle? Almost dead-on straight ahead. This is a bad angle. Although the headlight is the business-end of the bike, background distortions and perhaps other vehicles following the 2-wheeler can mask the headlight, so don't count on it. Otherwise, what kind of profile does the motorcycle present? Very limited. Bikes are often narrow and do not paint a contrasting picture to the background. Also, the motorcycle, headed directly at Mr. SUV isn't moving much in comparison to the background picture. Why? Because of the angle of attack. As the motorcycle gets closer and the angle somewhat changes, then the sight-picture becomes less 90 degrees and more like 60, 45 or 30 -- until the bike is parallel with the vehicle waiting to pull out. At this angle the bike is very visible because the background is passing quickly behind the sight picture of the bike.
Enter the SMIDSY weave. SMIDSY stands for "sorry mate I didn't see you." Obviously a UK or Australian origin based upon the word "mate," the SMIDSY weave attempts to break up that straight-on angle and make the motorcycle jump out within the sight picture. How? Weaving and changing the angle of attack.
A video is worth a thousand words. Check out the SMIDSY as explained on an episode of "Crash Course" from way back in 2008.
This technique works and is a great skill to drill into the automatic side of the motorcycling brain. It should be as automatic as counter-steering.

Libby Tall Desk Lamp Item # A2351
Spun Brass in Polished Nickel | Was $167.99
It's no wonder the Libby has been around for more than a century. The tall desk lamp, made from spun brass, features a triple-jointed arm that can be stretched and angled to the position you prefer. The parabolic shape of the reflector shade directs light downward, creating a bright, focused pool of illumination that won't shine in your eyes (or those of others in the room).
Robert Faries, a gifted machinist, inventor, and founder of Faries Manufacturing Co., designed this lamp in the 1920s. Back then, it enabled factory workers to really see what they were doing (something of a novelty at the time).
- Spun-brass parts
- Cloth cord
- Triple-jointed arm
- Parabolic reflector shade
- Weighted base resists tipping; felt bottom won't scratch surfaces
- Brass turnkey
- 13W compact fluorescent bulb included

Do you know this dog? He was found running across the by-pass in Vilonia following the devastating tornadoes that destroyed several communities across Arkansas on April 27.
This dog was running with a chocolate lab, who has since been reunited with its family.
This furbaby is being held behind Vilonia High School. Please contact Pets lost and Found by clicking on their link below if you know who this dog belongs to.
This Facebook group page is assisting, with information on rescue groups, where to have pets scanned or treated and other up to date information. Residents who find an animal are asked to hold onto it until it's owner is located.
If the thread in the first paragraph doesn't take you to the lost or found pet, please check the albums on the group page.
Please leave a phone number where you can be reached. Don't depend on people being able to reach you on Facebook.
Also remember to be very careful who you release a "found" pet to. Sadly, in other disasters, people have taken advantage of the situation and taken custody of pets that did not belong to them.
People who have lost everything don't need to deal with nefarious folks also.. These disasters bring out people who scam, so please beware.
Examiner articles are unpublished after pets are reunited with family. This simplifies keeping up with the many pets still needing help finding their family.

With a game under his belt, UCLA freshman T.J. Cummings looks to lead the Bruins to their first win of the season Friday when they take on 12th-ranked Kentucky in the consolation game of the Coaches Vs. Cancer Classic at Madison Square Garden.
Cummings, the son of former NBA star Terry Cummings, led the 17th-ranked Bruins with 24 points in a 99-98 loss to Kansas in the opening game on Thursday. The 6-foot-8 forward was 8-for-10 from the floor and grabbed seven rebounds while breaking Don MacLean's school record for points scored by a freshman in his first game.
"From the first day he walked on the court at Pauley Pavilion for practice he has shown a tremendous work ethic and attitude," UCLA coach Steve Lavin said. "He comes from a great family and understands the game."
Despite Cummings' heroics, the Bruins could not pull out a win because of poor free-throw shooting down the stretch. UCLA forward Matt Barnes missed three of four foul shots in the final minute to negate an exciting comeback earlier in the game.
"We kept our poise and kept our composure, the way a team with nine players back should," Lavin said. "They came out fast and we did a poor job on transition defense and that's how they got the early lead. They came out fast and then both teams had the game come to a screeching halt in the second half."
Kentucky, meanwhile, also lost a heartbreaker on Thursday with a 62-61 loss to St. John's.
The Wildcats managed only one field goal in the final five minutes and were 4-for-11 from the foul line over the last 7:13. They did not score again after taking a 61-57 lead with 22 seconds remaining.
"We had our chances to put the game away but we couldn't hit a free throw down the stretch," Kentucky coach Tubby Smith said.
One bright spot in the loss for the Wildcats was Marquis Estill, who led Kentucky with 15 points. Estill, a 6-9 sophomore forward from Richmond, Ky., redshirted last season after undergoing surgery on both knees.
Kentucky leads this all-time series 5-2.

NA Mayoral candidates speak out on city needs
While qualifying for municipal elections only began three short weeks ago, the race for mayor of New Albany already has two candidates vying for the office – both of whom already have spoken out on their visions for the future of New Albany.
New Albany's Mayor Tim Kent has announced he plans to run for re-election and has qualified with the New Albany Circuit Clerk, while New Albany citizen and community leader Betsey Hamilton has announced her plans to run for the office as well.
In speaking on what he would hope to see accomplished over the next four years, should he be re-elected, Kent mentioned two big projects in particular – the construction of a loop around the city of New Albany, as well as improvement to infrastructure in the downtown area.
"We've sent a list of things as part of the federal economic stimulus wish list," Kent said Wednesday. "These are projects that have to be shovel-ready, which means they could go out for bids within 60 to 90 days. We've added the interloop, as well as infrastructure improvements for downtown to our wishlist."
Kent said that plans for the interloop would be to extend Munsford Dr. further east to HWY 178 and west to HWY 15.
"Of course, like every other city, we're on a tight budget," Kent said. "So we've been working on writing grants to try and help get funding for these projects."
He went on to say that an interloop would help alleviate traffic problems in New Albany help decrease the number of 18-wheelers traveling through the downtown area.
"According to traffic count numbers, there are about 11,000 cars going through the downtown on a daily basis, including many 18-wheelers," Kent said. "Unfortunately, this has also caused several traffic accidents, especially at the intersection of Glenfield and HWY 178.
With regard to the downtown infrastructure, Kent said that the goal would be to repair or replace many of the water lines that are over 100 years old.
Kent also said that the city is currently negotiating for six acres of land to construct a new public utilities and police station.
"The [police station] was built somewhere in the mid-'30's," Kent said. "There's just not a lot you can do with it. But again, it will depend on our budget."
In response, Hamilton said that the city first needs a comprehensive plan and input from the citizens before starting such projects.
"Before we do any building, we need to have a comprehensive plan for this community," said Hamilton, who was involved in a community effort to develop a comprehensive plan in 1997. "The loop that the mayor is talking about actually comes out of the 1997 plan that was never actually adopted. We need a working document that shows where we want to go and what we want to accomplish."
Hamilton also said one of New Albany's biggest needs is to examine traffic flow.
"One of the most critical needs is our traffic flow," Hamilton said. "We ought to look at our traffic flow. We did in 1997. We need to be aware what roads should be our priorities in widening especially.
"We're going to grow in the next 10 years much faster than the last. It's bigger than just a handful of people. It's the public input that's missing right now. They're not involving the communty in the visioning process."

That College Feeling at Oracle by Swapnil Jadhav
By User769227-Oracle on Sep 15, 2011
As a fresh graduate I was proud to join Oracle as my first company. I reached Hyderabad with my father 3 days prior to the date of joining at Oracle. I came to visit the campus the next day of my reaching here. I literally fell in love with those three Oracle buildings with blue glass facades.
It feels very different for a person who has never seen how an organization works to come and join work in a big organization. There were so many fears- will I be able to meet the organizations expectations, what if I fail to do my work on time, or what if my work is not up to the mark. Fears akin to what a student gets before important exams during his academic life. Even if you were a brilliant academic performer in college, you still feel fearful when you are about to join work.
At Oracle, the campus to corporate training program makes you feel very comfortable. The games, the open discussions and doubt clearing sessions that we had with the HR team make you get ready for your corporate life. Then you start feeling lucky that you have got Oracle as your first company in your professional life. You learn that it's fine to make mistakes and learn from them, and it's not different from your academic life. You get to learn cool stuff and meet some of the most intelligent people here. They inspire you.
Oracle has this protocol of calling everybody by their first names. It was something new to me as we are used to calling people as sir or ma'am. Calling my manager by his first name feels as if he is my classmate from college.
At work place time flies by, it's not even 40 days that I joined Oracle and I'm loving it! You get to meet so many people in the campus. The gym is well equipped and well maintained. Oracle wants to us to be fit and healthy. Even after I am tired after work I got to gym and feel the energy surging after 30 minutes of run on a treadmill.
When I need to get some fresh air, I can just get out of my cubicle and walk around. There are well maintained gardens which makes me wonder how come they keep the plants so green in the heat of Hyderabad, it looks like my IIT Bombay gardens with well -kept green shrubs around the buildings.
Oracle is a warm company and there is no dress code here, I used to come wearing formals to office in the first few days and was surprised to see most of the seniors here in jeans and T-Shirts.
I must add that while coming to work every morning I feel as if I am going to my college, to learn, to live, to chill, and to enjoy life at Oracle.

|Weight (g)
|Silver Melt Value
|Full Melt Value
|Seated (1840-1873)
|90% silver, 10% copper
The Seated Liberty Dollars silver coins were minted from 1840 to 1873, primarily out of Philadelphia with no mint mark; however there are some minted in New Orleans and San Francisco, with mint marks "O" and "S" respectively. Then small numbers were struck regularly from the Carson City Mint also when it was opened in 1870 with the mint mark "CC".
The Seated Liberty Dollars are 38.1 millimeters in diameter and weigh 26.73 grams composed of 90% silver and 10% copper with a reeded edge. The 1836 experiment of the Gobrecht Dollar to bring the silver dollar back to the American people seemed satisfactory. In 1840 the Seated Liberty Dollar was struck against a back drop of economic Hard Times and President Martin Van Buren wanted to bring back Andrew Jackson's concept of hard currency to combat the economic depression.
The obverse was based on the Gobrecht Dollar first designed in 1836 by Christian Gobrecht base a painting by Thomas Sully. Liberty is seated on a rock and holding a pole with a cap in her right hand and her left hand is on a shield at her side which has "LIBERTY" written across it. In 1838 13 stars were added encircling the upper portion of the Seated Liberty with the date under her.
The reverse has a heraldic bald eagle with the shield on it breast. Its right talon clutches an olive branch and its left three arrows. If there is a mint mark it is under the eagle and above the "ONE DOL." which encircles the bottom of the coin and the legend "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" encircles the rest of the coin.
There are two variations of the Seated Liberty Dollars. Type I is as described above. On March 3, 1865 the motto "In God we trust" was official adopted by the US Congress to be put on all US currency. Type II differs only on the reverse when in 1866 the Motto; "IN GOD WE TRUST" was added on a ribbon scrolled above the eagle and below the legend, until 1873 when the Mint Act of February 12, 1873 discontinued the production of all US silver dollars.
In 1861 the threat of Civil War in the United States was pervasive and the Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase, received a suggestion from a Pennsylvania minister that the Mint should have some sort of reference upon its coins of the deity. Chase wrote the Director of the Mint, James Pollock, asking Pollock to prepare some samples of the United States recognition of the trust its people in God.
After a number of variations had been tried "IN GOOD WE TRUST" was selected on. This Motto became demonstrated as part of the United States identity. Years later in 1907 when the Motto was left off the double eagle and eagle gold coins public controversy was stirred up immediately and Congress ordered the Motto restored in 1908.
The 1873 Mint Act, also known as the "Crime of '73", ended the United States use of the silver standard 'de facto' and was the last years the Seated Liberty Dollars were struck.

Abbot Ale is brewed in Bury St. Edmunds – a place which enjoys a rich brewing heritage than can be traced back almost 1000 years.
The famous Domesday Book includes a passage about 'cerevisiarii' or ale brewers as servants of the Abbot in Bury St Edmunds' Great Abbey. The Greene King brewery sits alongside the historic ruins of the Abbey and to this day our brewers still draw water from the same chalk wells used by their brewing predecessors all those years ago.
Hailed by the late beer writer Michael Jackson as "one of the great characters of the beer world", Abbot Ale is brewed for quality of the highest order. Abbot is an irresistible ale with masses of fruit characters, a malty richness and superb hop balance. It is brewed longer to a unique recipe, which makes it the full-flavoured, smooth and mature beer it is today.
Abbot Reserve is a distinctive full bodied, smooth and mature beer bursting with fruit cake and toffee flavours. Bottles are available throughout the year however cask beer is only brewed during November and December. A perfect winter warmer.
Abbot Ale is available in casks, kegs, bottles and cans. If you are a trade customer who would like to buy Abbot Ale or Abbot Reserve in any form, visit our trade section for details on who to get in touch with. If you are outside the UK and would like to purchase our beers, contact one of our agents for more information.
The Abbot Ale shop contains a superb selection of Abbot Ale branded products from tankards to umbrellas.
Visit the Abbot Ale website for more on our rich history and the brewing process and to watch our TV ads with Brian Blessed.

What is the scalar product operator for complex vectors (or matrices) in Mathematica? The usual $Dot[]$ doesn't work. E.g. here is what the Mathematica gives $$\{1,0\}.\{I,0\}=I$$ but the answer should be $-I$, since the scalar product of complex vectors is defined as follows: let $$a,b∈C^n \,\,\, then \,\,(a,b)= ∑_{i=1}^na_i \bar b_i$$ where $\bar b_i$ is the complex conjugate of $b_i$.
You can define your own scalar product as
so that
Edit: if you need the canonical scalar matrix product, you can use these definitions instead:
so that the example above still holds, but you can, for example, do
which gives
That is how you do a dot product in Mathematica.You have the wrong symbol but in this case Mathematica still gave you correct answer:

LED floods for 45g high light
Hi All,
Been trying to figure out how light this 45g tank I have. I'm wanting to get up to the lower end of the high light range. Wanting to get some carpet plants going and will be doing CO2 and PPS-PRO. I know the height being 24" is the tough part.
I was thinking of these:
[Ebay Link Removed]
In daylight spectrum of course :)
Would 2 x 20w floods cover, or will I need either 3x20w or 2x30w?
Trying to not completely break the bank as I'll likely be upgrading to a 90g near the end of the year.
Thanks in advance!
Link from ebay was automatically removed here. perhaps if you have alink to the light elsewhere?
2x30w's will be better than 3x 20w all day for growing a carpet. To be sure your going to have high light at the substrate, you might need to go with 2x 30W, or 1x50w. Maybe spring for the 50w and then you can just get another one when you upgrade to the 90 gallon.
Oh yeah forgot it deletes links here. Its by seller ememexit entitled " 50W 30W 20W 10W Day Warm White LED Wall Pack Wash Flood Light Lamp Garden Light". I thought I somehow found it on here somewhere originally.
I think I'll probably go with the 2x30w then, just to ensure more even coverage. I'm probably going to go with the AquaticLife 6x54w T5HO when I do my "big" upgrade, and I'll have more of a use for 2 separate 30w instead of 1 50w.
Thanks for the help folks!
Make sure to check the color temp of the warm white LEDs. Most of the ones I saw while looking for my LED floods were in the 3000k range. I wanted 6000k+ and had to search for the cool whites to get 6000k.
Today i finished my new tank lights using the led floods. Maybe this will help you a bit. I have 4 of the cool white (6000-7000k) 10W Ebay LED Floods equally spaced across the top of my 36G tank.
I don't have a PAR meter but I do have a lux meter that outputs the lux for each of the RGB colors and a total.
At 18" depth my readings were
Red: 845 lux
Green: 729 lux
Blue: 561 lux
Total: 2120 lux
Using some of the conversion factors I've seen on various forums it looks like I'm getting a PAR of around 30. (this is only a guestimate)
So I picked up 2 of the 30 watt Daylight floods. I have to say, I'm rather disappointed. On my 29 I was experimenting with 3 x 23w Spiral CFLs in the plain clip-on aluminum holders from Lowes.
The CFLs seem FAR brighter and more even. I don't have a real lux meter, but I tried the app on my phone. Even if it isn't accurate, it showed the CFLs as being a good 30% brighter.
Anyone else had that issue? Maybe they sent me the wrong lights??

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to our live coverage of the day's first game in the Barclays Premier League.
We're at Villa Park (well, in spirit at least) for what should be an intriguing game between Aston Villa and Newcastle United.
Paul Lambert's side got off to a good start on opening weekend, eking out a 1-0 win over Stoke away from home thanks to Andreas Weimann's goal. They will be hoping to keep things similarly tight today.
Newcastle lost to Manchester City on Sunday, but were buoyed by impressive performances by their new boys – not least French schemer Remy Cabella. With Siem de Jong in the running for a start today, they should be a threat.
Stay with us for all the action.
Look at Newcastle's social media team with their arty black-and-white photos!
The travelling Toon Army's view at Villa Park today. #NUFC #AVLNEW pic.twitter.com/sImff4GklN— Newcastle United FC (@NUFC) August 23, 2014
It's an attacking line-up for Villa, with Charles N'Zogbia and Andreas Weimann in support of Gabriel Agbonlahor in attack. Siem de Jong is in the Newcastle squad, but has to settle for a place on the bench, with Emmanuel Riviere leading the line.
- Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Senderos, Vlaar, Cissokho, Westwood, Delph, Richardson, Weimann, N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor
- Subs: Given, Baker, Bacuna, Cole, Bent, Sanchez, Grealish
- Newcastle: Krul, Janmaat, Williamson, Coloccini, Dummett, Anita, Colback, Gouffran, Sissoko, Cabella, Riviere
- Subs: Elliot, Haidara, S Taylor, Abeid, Obertan, De Jong, Perez
Remember that you can catch all the action live on BT Sport, with kick-off just over thirty minutes away, at 12:45pm.
Both teams have new players in their squad, although both team's starting line-ups are unchanged from last week, when Aston Villa beat Stoke and Newcastle lost to champions Manchester City.
For Villa, new Colombian Carlos Sanchez starting on the bench, while Remy Cabella starts again for Newcastle and Siem de Jong, who has been earning plaudits from his manager Alan Pardew, will likely be involved at some point in the game.
The Claret and Blues could go top of the table with a win today, at least for a few hours.
Check out the pre-match build-up with the BT Sport team right now.
Aston Villa have struggled in recent years for a club of their size, and last season Villa Park was a particularly unhappy place for fans, with Paul Lambert's side suffering ten home defeats over the course of the season.
They are looking to win their opening two matches for the first time in 15 years, but will have to play much better on their home ground than they did for long stretches of last season.
One player who could have a big impact is Carlos Sanchez, who Lambert has been talking about.
He said: "He's a top player. He'll add strength and experience in the middle of the pitch."
Newcastle may have lost 2-0 to Manchester City at St James' Park last weekend, but Alan Pardew took plenty of positives from the game.
He was particularly impressed by the displays of his summer signings Daryl Janmaat, Jack Colback and Remy Caballa.
They all start again today, but they will be hoping to create more problems for Villa's backline than they managed against the champions.
They only won one of their last eight games at the back end of last season, conceding 19 and scoring just 4 in the process.
The Magpies will be keen to ensure that last weekend's game is a new season blip and they rediscover winning ways today.
Michael Owen is looking forward to kick-off at Villa Park, with the teams just moments away from coming down the tunnel.
The mascots are currently out entertaining the crowds ahead of the first Premier League game of what is sure to be another action-packed weekend.
What are your predictions for the game? A win for Aston Villa would see them jump to the top of the table, while Newcastle will be keen to get their first points of the new season on the board.

You can watch the Aston Villa players arriving and greeting fans in the tunnel earlier here.
Roy Keane looks more distinguished the greyer his beard gets and certainly appears to be in a rare good mood, at least for the time being.
Philippe Senderos and Ron Vlaar have been striking up a strong partnership at the heart of the Villa defence this season, but with Manchester United in the market for defenders and the Dutch centre-back impressing under Louis van Gaal at the World Cup, will this be a short-lived pairing?
YOUTUBE: Players arrive pre-match. Have a watch here: http://t.co/s3vHnsGRf7 AVFC #AVFCLIVE #NUFC— Aston Villa FC (@AVFCOfficial) August 23, 2014
Hi from Villa Park, the hosts are unchanged after their opening win at Stoke and that result has done wonders to lift the mood at the club after a dismal finish to last season left fans calling for boss Lambert's head.
It will be interesting to see what reception new assistant Roy Keane gets on the home bench and look out for highly -rated young midfielder Jack Grealish coming off the bench late on as Lambert thinks he can be a future star.
Newcastle get us underway in today's early kick-off and the Magpies may not be on their best run of form of late, but they have a decent record against Aston Villa in recent seasons.
Charles N'Zogbia will be keen to get another good performance under his belt today after missing last season through injury, with the Villa side unchanged from their opening day win.
Both teams getting an early feel for the ball, with Newcastle's midfield already looking like they will try to keep the ball for stretches of the game.
Yoan Gouffran and Moussa Sissoko getting some early touches for Newcastle, with Remy Cabella in a roaming role.
Aston Villa will be looking to exploit that fact on the counter no doubt, if the Frenchman fails to get back when the Magpies lose the ball.
Alan Hutton gets forward down Villa's right for the first time, but the ball is turned over and Newcastle have it again, with Paul Dummett winning a corner after some neat play down the left.
Aston Villa push forward on their first counter of the game after a mistake by Newcastle's midfield but it comes to nothing.
Newcastle are certainly dominating the early minutes of this fixture, looking to get off to a quick start, but no real chances for either side as of yet.
First free-kick of the afternoon goes to Newcastle just past the half-way line, after Gabby Agbonlahor is adjudged to backed into his man while contesting the header - but it comes to nothing for the visitors.
Oooh. Half chance for Charles N'Zogbia who takes it on with a header from deep on the right-hand side of Newcastle's box. He goes back across the goal past Tim Krul, but it goes over.
Here's Villa coming forward again, with Aly Cissokho whipping in a dangerous looking ball, but no-one is there to follow it in and Krul gathers.
Newcastle's front three are interchanging when they can, and have won a corner after a slip by Senderos in clearing the ball, under pressure from Gouffran.
Cabella whips it in and Gouffran picks it up at the back post but completely misses the volley.
Aston Villa captain Ron Vlaar is down after challenging at the corner.
It appears to be the Dutchman's knee causing him some pain, but he's back up and running after a spot of treatment and will continue when the referee lets him return to the game.
N'Zogbia is looking dangerous in the early stages and attempts to drive into the Newcastle box, but over-runs it and just catches Mike Williamson as the centre-back makes the clearance.
Newcastle are working the ball well in the attacking third and Cabella receives it in space out on the right, but horribly mis-kicks the cross, which sails out for the goal-kick.
The cross was almost as high as the Frenchman's quiff, not quite though...
And Aston Villa have a dangerous freekick now after Colback slides in, about 25 yards out from Tim Krul's goal.
A few dummy runs there, but N'Zogbia it is who curls it over the wall, but it just swerves a little too much and goes past the left-hand upright.
Newcastle make a meal of clearing Hutton's deep-lying corss from the right and Villa have it back, bringing it forward once again.
Richardson lifts it looking for Agbonlahor but it's too powerful and Krul easily collects.
Now it's Newcastle's turn to come forward with Sissokho powering forward and he's eventually hauled down, again about 25 yards out.
Colback stands over the ball, and it's over the wall... and comfortably over the crossbar... not troubling Guzan there.
Sissoko wins it in the middle once more and the ball is bouncing in the Villa box, but Riviere is overly physical in challenging Hutton at the back post and the referee blows up in favour of Villa.
Anita does well to keep the ball for Newcastle under pressure in his own half and the Magpies bring it forward down the right-hand side.
Both teams have been relatively untroubled at the back so far, but that nearly changes as Cabella picks up the ball at the backpost after Gouffran's shot is deflected, but he's off-balance and it bobbles wide of the post...
A moment of excitement for Villa fans, who are exerting some pressure on Newcastle's box with Hutton pulling back dangerously, but Newcastle scramble it away for a corner.
Weinmann picks up the clearance and whips in another delicious ball from the left this time that flashes just past Krul, but no one for Villa is in the six-yard box.
So things are all square with just under 30 minutes played - Villa with the terrible home record last season and Newcastle struggling on the road. So far, neither side has really looked like breaking the deadlock.
Delph picks it up just outside the Newcastle box and shifts it onto his left, getting away the shot, but it's high and wide once more from Aston Villa's player of the season last season.
Villa's midfield man has done well so far, getting forward when he can and spreading the play wide down both of the Claret and Blues' flanks, where their best play in the opening third has come from.
Neither side is getting too much joy through the middle, but Villa will need more from Agbonlahor in the middle if they keep on putting in the crosses.
Cabella finds Riviere who shots first time tight from the left and Guzan is able to smother it. He would have needed a hell of a finish from there.
PHOTO @NUFC captain Fabricio Coloccini and Fabian Delph compete for the ball. Villa 0-0 Newcastle (23 mins) #AVLNEW pic.twitter.com/vXvC3Tu6cM— Premier League (@premierleague) August 23, 2014
Both managers will be relatively happy with the opening 34 minutes, you feel, but they'll want more going forwards.
So far, the two teams look good for a point, but Villa have certainly grown into the game after a slow start.
They win the corner, but Newcastle bring it out on the break. However, Anita just runs it out and it's once again Villa with the ball building from the back.
They're keen to get Cissokho on the ball down the left and N'Zogbia's drifted over to that side as well, wining the corner.

Save on your Hosting with Hostgator Discount Voucher
Are you at a crossroads now, deciding which kind of hosting finest suits your needs? This is certainly an essential choice as it will affect how your business will operate on the webspace in the future. Before you begin sending a ticket to the support division or calling the sales division of any hosting service provider to ask concerning your confusion, take a look at the standards and suggestions which I'm about to introduce to you.
Of all, ask yourself, which kind of web busineses are you planning to get included in? Next, I'll show you the benefits, downsides and functions offered to you by both shared hosting and dedicated server hosting. Prior to I continue further, let's revitalize your mind with the meaning of both kinds of hosting. Shared hosting, as many of you need to be well-versed, is hosting where a great deal of sites share the same resources in one server. Resources right here just imply the total webspace, the memory, the processor speed, in addition to the bandwidth.
You can do whatever you desire and no various other websites share the resources with you. It sure comes with a cost as dedicated server is way more pricey than shared hosting.
Facing the challenges worldwide of sharing!
Simply, that's the trouble or dangers you might be dealing with when you opt for shared hosting. Shared hosting is just like you rent a space with a few other roomies. Same goes to hosting industry.
Shared hosting is less expensive and more budget friendly compared to dedicated hosting. Nowadays, you can discover shared hosting with the cost of USD4 to USD15 per month. For that reason, if you think that rate is a problem and you are still green in hosting world and your online company has yet to attain rush hour, the finest solution is to choose shared hosting first. As a result, you need to bear the drawbacks of shared hosting but if you pick a dependable and experienced hosting service provider (probably in a hosting industry for around 3-4 years), the carrier will make sure the most minimal drawbacks for its clients. In shared hosting environment, you will encounter specific downsides as follows:.
Sharing Same IP.
Having the same IP address in shared hosting is the major issue when various other websites in the server is really being blacklisted for dishonest activities such as spamming or generating illegal script. Since, you share the exact same server, it's apparent you will share the exact same IP address. When other sites are blacklisted, those sharing the exact same IP with them will also unfortunately share the same fate - being banned completely by search engine. You will be the sufferer of criminal activity which you don't dedicate.
There are times where you can buy yourself a dedicated IP but this generally is not needed unless you are getting yourself an SSL certification. In cases such as this one, it relies on your hosting service provider on how they deal with customers who do unlawful and unapproved tasks. Normally, a reputable and responsible host will suspend those websites which perform spamming in order to rescue other sites who are innocent. In other words, to get yourself a shared hosting, learn more about how your provider offer with those sites which are hosted in the same server as you.
Slow Server Response Time.
Exact same goes to shared hosting. This is due to the fact that server will respond to the requested file in order of the line. If one of the site visitor happens to request it later and is on a long line up, that visitor will experience slow-moving feedback time and could at some point end up leaving your internet site.
Server Crashes Frequently.
It's crucial for host service provider to monitor the server routinely to avoid server from crashes and to safeguard your website from being affected. A well-knowledgable and reliable host supplier will be able to answer your concern to your contentment.
Regardless of previously mentioned bad points, a lot of internet sites likewise utilize this shared hosting option and if an appropriate supplier is selected, you can be ensured that such events will barely happen.
Dedicated Hosting - A world of your very own.
Exactly what makes individuals opt for dedicated hosting instead of shared hosting? Reason is since dedicated hosting is primarily for huge and hectic sites such as portal, search engine, online content provider, heavy quality traffic forums and etc. In addition, dedicated hosting typically needs even more technical-savvy expert to monitor it.
You are in charge!
Below, it means you have more control of everything. In case you adored this article as well as you wish to obtain guidance regarding Hostgator Coupon [www.maydas159.com] i implore you to pay a visit to the web-site. You can set up whatever applications and scripts you desire. You can do script testing and if anything were to happen, no one else to blame but yourself. You will have the capacity to personalize the hardware and softwares installed on your server, which you can not find this benefit if you are under shared hosting.
No more limitation in bandwidth usage.
Compare to shared hosting, you could get yourself a "caution letter" from your hosting provider if you exceed the optimum bandwidth assigned to you. With dedicated hosting, you have the quantity of bandwidth of a server. Downloading and publishing any products from your site will not be a trouble if you have a lot of everyday site visitors doing such activity.
More Protected.
Having a dedicated server is in truth more secured compared to shared hosting. This is since dedicated server will be provided its own firewall software. The information stored in dedicated server is less at risk to attacks by hackers or any malicious codes. In addition, hosting company will usually provide backup for you with added charge, however, in regards to safety, it's really worth it.
Much better Efficiency.
Because dedicated hosting ways only you alone are hosted because server, the feedback time of the server to requested files will be so much faster compared with shared hosting. Site visitors who search your site will rejoice because your pages will appear on their web browser quick enough to please them. Quickly loading time will constantly brighten anyone's day!
Usually, selecting which kind of hosting entirely depends upon your requirements. To make a wise choice, do more looks into and assessments as well as consult those extremely technical wise people. Remember that a good and wise decision will identify your online storefronts' success.
Next, I'll reveal you the advantages, downsides and features provided to you by both shared hosting and dedicated server hosting. Shared hosting, as many of you must be well-versed, is hosting where a lot of sites share the same resources in one server. You have to bear the downsides of shared hosting however if you choose a dependable and skilled hosting carrier (probably in a hosting market for around 3-4 years), the carrier will make sure the most minimal disadvantages for its clients. In short, to get yourself a shared hosting, get to know how your service provider deal with those websites which are hosted in the exact same server as you.
Since dedicated hosting methods only you alone are hosted in that server, the response time of the server to requested files will be so much quicker compared to shared hosting.By uunger

For Immeditate Release: December 5, 2013
Linda Stanton, of Mullica Township, president of the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center Mainland Auxiliary, announced Wednesday that the auxiliary has committed to a $500,000 pledge to ARMC. The funds will benefit the Mainland Campus Transformation Project.
"We are so excited to help support the transformation of AtlantiCare's Mainland campus," Stanton said. "AtlantiCare has become an integral part of this community and has done wonderful things for people in Pomona and in southern New Jersey. This auxiliary has been a partner to AtlantiCare since we began in 1974, and we are excited to support AtlantiCare in this new, exciting chapter of its history."
The Mainland Campus Transformation Project is scheduled to break ground early in 2014, and will included a 35,000 square foot addition to the hospital, upgrades to the existing facility, and additional enhancements and renovations.
The Auxiliary has "helped us build a foundation of trust and respect in our community," stated AtlantiCare's chief operating officer Margaret Belfield. "You've offered countless hours of volunteer work that have contributed greatly to the heart and soul of our organization...countless bake sales, the annual motorcycle ride, hundreds of knitted blankets, and of course 35 years of kicking off our holiday season with this Holly Day Celebration."
"As we look to 2014 and all it promises to bring for AtlantiCare, we are truly grateful to have you as a partner in our vision to build healthy communities," Belfield concluded.
The Auxiliary hosted its 35th Annual Holly Day Luncheon December 4 at The Carriage House in Galloway and, in addition to its half-million dollar pledge, presented AtlantiCare with more than $24,000 in gifts to benefit patient programs and services.
"It is our mission to support the efforts of AtlantiCare. There are exciting changes coming to healthcare and to the Mainland Campus, but we recognize that other needs still exist," Stanton added. Among other gifts that will promote the community's health at Mainland Campus, the Auxiliary presented the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with $3,500; will sponsor ten nurses from the Medical Surgical Team to obtain Medical Surgical Specialty Certificates through the American Nursing Credentialing Center; and is donating $3,000 to the AtlantiCare Heart Heroes for placement of five automated external defibrillators in the community.

Hansen Center for Childbirth; medical equipment and supplies; clothing; and teddy bears for distribution to patients with invasive breast cancer. Founded in 1974, the Auxiliary has raised more than $2 million to benefit patient services at ARMC Mainland and will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2014.

SAN FRANCISCO – The Stanford wrestling team defeated San Francisco State, 33-8, Saturday, in San Francisco. The Cardinal moves to 13-4 overall, tying for the second-most dual wins in program history.
Freshman Tommy Pawelski opened the dual with a 10-0 major decision over Marc Collier at 125 pounds. He registered a takedown and two near fall points in the opening period. He tacked on three points in the second with an escape and a takedown. Pawelski tallied his third takedown of the bout in the third period and finished with 3:13 of riding time. He moves to 18-12 on the year.
The Gators took the lead at 133 pounds as Isaiah Hurtado posted a 20-4 technical fall over Stanford freshman Eric Cramer, who was wrestling up at weight for the Cardinal. Sophomore Peter Russo then dropped a 7-4 decision to Dylan Phillipy at 141 pounds to give San Francisco State an 8-4 lead in the dual.
Senior Donovan Halpin cut into the Gators' lead with a 6-1 decision over Conrad Snell at 149 pounds. Halpin led 2-1 after the first period.

Small charities and Collaboration
A new Charity Commission research report has been published which focuses on the experiences of small charities collaborating, and explores the issues and challenges they face when doing so.

Guidance for the Voluntary and Community Sector has been issued by the National Offender Management Service. The guidance concerns working with NOMS to manage the risk of serious harm. The VCS delivers a vast range of services to offenders in custody and the community, including those who pose a high risk of harm. Consultation with, and feedback from, these organisations has highlighted concerns over the knowledge, awareness and safety of staff and volunteers when working with this group of offenders. The guidance has been developed by the NOMS Public Protection & Mental Health Group in collaboration with voluntary sector providers and representatives, and draws extensively on the 'Risk of Harm Guidance and Training Resource' provided for NOMS by De Montfort University.

The Cabinet Office has launched a new £100million Transition Fund to help the charities, voluntary groups and social enterprises that are affected by public spending cuts to make necessary adjustments so that they can continue to play an important part in public service reform and the Big Society Agenda. The Transition Fund will help civil society organisations which deliver high quality public services to be more resilient, agile and able to take opportunities presented by a changing funding environment. The Office for Civil Society has appointed BIG Fund (non-Lottery funding operation of the Big Lottery Fund) to administer the fund.

Health and Social Care Volunteering Fund
The Department of Health has launched its new Health and Social Care Volunteering Fund for National Volunteering Organisations in Health and Social Care. This is the Department's first national grant scheme for health and social care volunteering and will make around £3 million available from April 2011. The programme is driven by clear strategic priorities that support the Big Society agenda in the health and adult social care field, as well as key health service priorities. The scheme is open to national charities and partnerships of voluntary organisations, as well as social enterprises, co-operatives, mutuals and other not-for profit organisations, with social aims. Projects that focus on volunteer involvement in key areas such as personal budgets, cutting smoking and encouraging healthy eating will be targeted as part of this national fund that will run over the next three years. Grants will specifically be awarded to projects that develop new, improved and/or streamlined systems in health and social care volunteering rather than projects that can simply supply core services. Applicants can apply for up £200,000 per annum in order fund activities which support four key priority areas as follows:
A patient-led NHS.
Delivering better health outcomes.
Improving public health.
Improving health and social care.
Projects should have national 'reach' by operating across at least four localities in different regions/counties geographically spread across England. Proposals for funding should differ substantially in scale and priorities from the fund's local projects for which there was a separate call for applications earlier in 2010. The timetable for this national scheme is as follows: Register interest online between 16 November and 13 December 2010.
Stage 1 Applications: open 1 December and close 12 January 2011.
Stage 2 Applications for shortlisted applicants: open 1 March and close 5 April 2011.

The autopsy scheduled after Amy Winehouse's death took place yesterday, but aside from the fact that "no suspicious circumstances" were found, coroners did not release any of the findings. Instead, what's called a Section 20 postmortem was conducted, which suggests that the investigation will take substantially more time. From the Hollywood Reporter:
A Section 20 postmortem, as Winehouse had, however, implies that the Coroner believes "there is reasonable cause to suspect that a person has died a violent or unnatural death or in any other way which would require an inquest," according to guidelines.
Also today, a representative for Winehouse said today that a bodyguard found Winehouse's body. She died alone in bed.
UPDATE: A reporter for the Scottish Sunday Mail is claiming that Amy Winehouse's voice mail was repeatedly hacked by reporters, in light of multiple wide-reaching accusations of phone hacking by the British tabloid press. Other targets of hacking, the reporter said, include Winehouse's father Mitch, mother Janis, brother Alex and ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
The funeral will be held tomorrow for family and close friends, says a spokesperson. Neither the time nor place were disclosed.

Anti-drink drive Christmas campaign launched in London
07:35 06 December 2012
A campaign will be launched in London today to encourage drivers to forgo alcohol during the Christmas party season.
Motorists who stick to soft drinks are to get a "bogof" deal this festive season. The buy one, get one free offer forms the Designated Driver scheme.
Running until December 31, the campaign will see drivers resisting alcohol being able to get two Coca Colas for the price of one in participating bars and pubs.
Road safety minister Stephen Hammond said: "Our Think! campaign makes it clear that drink- drivers risk losing their licence as well as facing a fine and even a prison sentence.
"I am pleased that Think! will be teaming up with Coca-Cola and pub chains across the country to reward designated drivers as well as reminding people of the consequences of getting a drink-drive conviction.
"No-one wants to spend their Christmas in a police cell. My message is clear: Don't drink and drive."
Coca-Cola's Britain and Ireland general manager Jon Woods said: "Designated drivers provide an amazing service to friends and family. They allow people to have a good night and also help keep roads safe, so everyone can enjoy the Christmas period."
He added that he hoped that rewarding drivers with free Cokes would encourage "even more people to do the right thing and become responsible drivers".

Comicpress 2.7: New Look for the SiteBy Rick Griffin on February 13th, 2009
Posted In: News
Still kinda working on it, but I have been working on it ALL DAY. There's a few issues still that I'll try to smooth out by tomorrow or so
Still kinda working on it, but I have been working on it ALL DAY. There's a few issues still that I'll try to smooth out by tomorrow or so
That's a cool new layout, man! I like it!
Looks nice!
Looks nice though…
Awesome! I know you're still working on it so you may not have gotten to it yet but the background sky-blue needs to be changed, doesn't go well with a wood tone.
Not baaaad~
I agree with Pierro, though. U:
And I'm wondering how the comments will work in the new layout.
To be honest, I actually found them confusing before. By the look of things so far, the comments don't change colour to the background, which would make it more confusing, maybe… And the text colour king of looks a bit strange. U: Sorry. I keep saying the bad things. I really like the wood look, it goes well with the comic for some reason. c: It's a good scheme, if you ask me, and it's well worth the time and effort to work the bugs out. o3o
Love it, that is all.
I love this o.o Like, no joke, love!~
Hey, you got the background working again, that's a plus.
It looks good so far. ^.^
Uhm, I don't like the new colors since they are not easy to the eye. The contrast of the yellow links on the light brown in the main navigation menu is too low. The light blue on dark brow is very hard to read, too. It is never a good idea to use two highly saturated colors as background and foreground colors.
Lurve it!!
Not bad, but I'd suggest putting some backdrop behind the calendar again if you can – it almost blends in now, and becomes invisible at a glance.
Most of the other stuff I'd say has been said by others – it's decent, but there's room for improvement. Look into the color scheme you've used if nothing else – i found myself squinting at most of the blue text and yellow links, so you may want to experiment a bit more. *shrug*
As an addendum – the color scheme for the text over the brown backdrop is fine if you stick with that – it's the yellows and blues that need tweaking tho.
Dude,this is awsome nice work Rick ^^
Looks AWESOME rick!
So.. Wanna design a site for my soon-to-be webcomic? *BIGGRIN*
Whats there to be fixed? Except for the fact the the top of the doghouse is missing on all pages except "Home", the layout is beautiful.
Keep up the good work!
