UEFA today vowed to crack down on racism at the European Championship after they and the Dutch Football Association acknowledged Holland's black players were abused during a training session in Krakow.
Newcastle United took the latest step in their successful French revolution yesterday when Romain Amalfitano arrived in the North-east to finalise a three-year contract. The Stade de Reims midfielder agreed in principle to move to Newcastle in February, and he returned to their Benton training ground to push through his transfer from the French side, who have just won promotion to Ligue 1.
PSV Eindhoven have sacked coach Fred Rutten following poor recent form which has threatened their title hopes.

Former England manager Steve McClaren is on the verge of winning the Dutch championship with FC Twente.
Once upon a time Ajax played functional football within an overbearing system. Then Rinus Michels came along and created a way of playing that married the relationship between the individual and the collective responsibility of the team and totaalvoetbal was born.
FC Twente coach Steve McClaren has denied reports linking him to the vacant managerial position at Premier League side Sunderland.
A kidnap attempt, in which a rifle was held to the head of Johan Cruyff, played a part in the Dutchman's decision to miss the 1978 World Cup.

Next » 1 of 11
Previously available for $18.00
Mineral, pear and dried citrus peel greet the nose topped with suggestions of ginseng and honeycomb. This is lovely in the mouth, showing a touch of sweetness but remaining airy and deft on the palate. Vibrant acids support citric and sour apple fruit with a nice edge of bitter pear peel. The finish is clean and kind of piercing, more citric than orchard-fruited, but fairly long and ending on a light almond note. This is summer in a glass. I love the balance and elegant scale of this wine. Freaking delicious. 91pts

Brooklyn Psychiatric Patient Beaten to Death in Shower
By Alison Fox and Tamer El-Ghobashy
A 47-year-old patient in the psychiatric ward of a Brooklyn hospital was apparently beaten to death by another patient inside a shower room, police and hospital officials said on Wednesday.
Investigators were still trying to piece together what caused the violent episode at Interfaith Medical Center in Bedford-Stuyvesant and had taken a 20-year-old man into custody in connection with the beating, police said. According to a law enforcement official, the suspect made statements implicating himself in the beating but it was not clear what sparked the attack.
The suspect was being held at Kings County Hospital and expected to be charged in the murder on Wednesday, the official said. Neither man was identified by authorities.
Police said the incident unfolded before 8 p.m. on Tuesday on the eighth floor of the hospital. Officers responding to a 911 call found the victim unresponsive with injuries to his head and torso, police said. He was declared dead at the scene.
Melissa Krantz, a spokeswoman for the hospital, said the men had been playing a "routine" and "civilized" game of dominos with two other patients earlier in the evening in a common area.
Shortly afterwards, they entered a shower room, which has two stalls, while a supervisor remained outside – which is a matter of protocol, Krantz said.
When the men appeared to be in the shower room for too long, the supervisor unlocked the door, finding that "one patient was on the ground and bleeding and the other was alive and well," Krantz said.
Citing video surveillance, Krantz said the suspect walked out of the shower room calmly.
"There was no reason to believe the game, or something before the game, or the game itself would have caused any animosity," she said.
Krantz said the victim and suspect had only been at the hospital for a few days and that the supervisor had followed proper procedure.
"While there are cameras everywhere on the psych floor, the reality of the situation is there are not cameras when people go to the bathroom and there are not cameras when people take a shower," she said.

Police in Macedonia have clashed with protesters demonstrating against the jailing of six ethnic Albanians for murder and terrorism.
A RFE/RL correspondent who was at the scene said several thousand demonstrators pelted police with rocks in the capital Skopje on July 4.
Police responded by firing teargas, stun grenades, and water cannon. Several policemen and protesters were wounded.
The ethnic Albanian protesters were angry at the life sentences handed down for the murder of five Macedonians during the Orthodox Easter in 2012. The protesters called the convictions politically motivated.
The defendants were described by authorities as Islamists and were charged with terrorism and accused of trying to provoke ethnic tensions.
Ethnic Albanians, most of them Muslims, make up around a quarter of Macedonia's two million population, and say they are discriminated against.

Implications Of Operating Leases On Analysis Of U.S. Electric Utilities Jan 08

Companies lease for many reasons including cost-effective financing, cash flow objectives, flexibility, risk shifting, tax strategies, and accounting advantages such as off-balance-sheet treatment. Lease accounting distinguishes between capital and operating leases. Accounting for capital leases is similar to debt-financed acquisitions of assets, and operating leases are recorded as rent expense on a pay-as-you-go basis. Since lessors and lessees can structure terms to achieve the desired accounting result, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services views the distinction between capital and operating leases as artificial. Like any other form of financing, operating leases represent claims against future cash flows. Operating-lease adjustment is one of the accounting adjustments that Standard & Poor's uses to analyze the financial results and ratios of electric utilities. The...

The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
In 1908, two types of half eagles were minted for circulation in Philadelphia. The With Motto, Liberty Head design--continuously struck since 1866--was being replaced by Bela Lyon Pratt's Indian Head design. Proof versions of the Type 2 Liberty fives were issued each year since 1866, with the lone exception of 1908, when proofs of the new so-called 'incuse' Indian design were specially prepared for collectors. Technically, the design is not incused, but rather sunken. To achieve this affect, certain design elements had to stand higher than the open field, instead of being below the surface as it had been done since day-one at the Mint. As a result, the fields could not be lapped in the manner required to produce brilliant proofs. The Mint's solution was to invent a new type of proof format that would be popular with collectors. The answer was the matte proof and, although it was certainly new, popular it was not. After being struck on a hydraulic press, each coin was lightly sandblasted. The resulting coin was odd in appearance--the surfaces were grainy--and complaints from collectors were forthcoming. The number of 1908 matte proof half eagles produced is a somewhat nebulous figure. The Mint--per one piece of contemporary correspondence--suggests that 500 pieces were struck. It is obvious, however, that not all were sold to collectors, probably due to their unfamiliar look. The official total recorded in the National Archives is 167 proof fives. Roger Burdette expounds in his Renaissance of American Coinage, 1905-1908: 'Figures reported at the end of 1908, one hundred and one gold sets, were the quantity sold, with the balance melted.'

Strange Meeting
by Wilfred Owen
Strange Meeting Guilt and Blame Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
Yet also there encumbered sleepers groaned,
Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred. (4-5)
What's keeping these soldiers in hell from getting a restful sleep? Maybe the guilt of having killed a bunch of people? Just a hunch.
Quote #2
The pity of war, the pity war distilled. (25)
This is Owen working a sentence like a boss. The "war is a pity" phrase sounds like something we might have heard before, but the second part of that line actually makes war responsible. Owen is placing the blame squarely on war for the suffering of these soldiers.

The Detroit Red Wings are in the headlines big time this week and it isn't playoff season yet either. The Red Wings have been impressive at Joe Louis Areanw with their 21st straight victory recorded Tuesday night, 3-1 over the Dallas Stars. That's an NHL record, though Boston won 22 straight over a two season span once.
The Red Wings barely sit atop the Western Conference standings in points-- on the road they are a mere .500, but what's the old adage-- win at home and split on the road to win titles-- and the Wings are following that theory.
The Red Wings host three dangerous teams in their next Joe Louis encounters-- Nashville Friday, San Jose Sunday and Vancouver next week. Those are all dangerous teams, all trying to end the Red Wings' streak. When the Wings' do finally lose at home it won't change their playoff chances-- which are pretty good to compete for the Stanley Cup, but the playoffs are still a couple of months away yet.

Q: I see that the NFL will be starting select games 15 minutes later on Sundays this coming season. Isn't the Sunday prime-time lineup messed up enough during the football on CBS already? Two of my favorite programs are "60 Minutes" and "The Good Wife." Now what time will they be starting? CBS should just have football on all day and night on Sunday, that's the way they are headed.
- Ed, Corapolis
Q: Now that the NFL admits that football games run longer than three hours and will not be starting doubleheader second games until 4:25 p.m., is there any chance that CBS will end their fantasy that the late game will be over by 7 p.m. and discontinue the absurdity of scheduling a full night of TV shows beginning at the 7 p.m. time?
- Jean, 62, Ross Township
Rob: In short, no. CBS will stick to its Sunday night schedule in the sense that the shows will air in their expected order but their start times will vary weekly.
CBS execs acknowledge how frustrating it is to viewers when their shows are delayed due to NFL games going long on Sunday nights. The network tries to update viewers on-air – both verbally and with graphics – about new start times for Sunday night shows. CBS also uses social media platforms and viewers can sign up for Eye-lerts, which I find useful.
The network also promises "some new measures" but wasn't specific about what those will be. But you can be sure I'll ask about them later this month during CBS's day at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Q: My very young grandchildren were watching the Nick channel recently. I was very busy, but caught some of the subject matter on the program they were watching. The two characters (I have no idea what program was being aired), a young teen boy and girl, were in a dialog when the boy asked the girl "What's your most favorite part of my body?" They kiss and the next scene is both of them in a bed, bedspread up to their chests. Then a doorbell rings, and they go to panic mode. At that point, I turned the channel and told my grandkids, "No more Nick."
Needless to say, I found this program most inappropriate for young teens. I attempted to telephone my local cable provider but was shuttled from voicemail to voicemail with no hope of ever talking to a human being.
Have you done articles on Nick? What is your opinion of their programming for youngsters? If I want to protest this type of inappropriate programming, how do you recommend I do it?
- Gail, Augusta, Ga.
Rob: Because Gail doesn't know what program her grandkids were watching, it's a little difficult for me to comment but given the content she describes, my guess is they were not watching Nick but they were watching TeenNick or possibly Nick at Nite, which added a prime-time soap, "Hollywood Heights," last month.
When "Hollywood Heights" premiered, I did wonder how that show fit in with the rest of Nick's programming, mostly sitcoms. As some cable networks cut up their programming into blocks and spin-off networks aimed at different demographics, adult guardians of children need to be ever more vigilant about what their kids are watching. It's not easy to be media literate but it is a requirement of good parenting. Gail did the right thing in turning off the TV but she also needs to recognize that during other parts of the day Nick is airing programs that are appropriate for children and teens.
Q: I've recently become hooked on the USA original series called "Suits" and I'm wondering what you think of the show.
The second part of my question has to do with the censoring of words in the On Demand version of the show. I notice that when the characters say that something is "bull####" the second syllable is silent. However, they routinely refer to people using slang terms for various body parts - male, female, and otherwise. So, who decided that "bulls###" would offend our sensibilities, but it's OK to say a##hole" out loud? I would have thought it would be the other way around. And since these words are used in the show, I assume it was OK for USA to air them originally, but then they deleted them from On Demand. What's the point of that?
I know you probably can't print my letter word for word or people will want to censor your column, but I hope you'll be able to answer me.
- Toni, 54, Ross
Rob: According to USA, "VOD airs the premiere episode as it appears on linear with the full commercial ad load. We don't make any revisions or edits to the asset on our end. We use the prime-time version of 'Suits' as it airs on USA. This allows for Nielsen to track the episode and apply a C3 rating, which is a measure of the commercials watched both live plus 3 days playback on VOD & DVR."
So that begs the question, is Verizon On Demand, where Toni watches "Suits," editing the content? Verizon says it is not.
"Verizon does not edit any of the programming provided to the company from content providers and is prohibited from doing such things contractually," said Verizon spokesman Lee Gierczynski. "Verizon simply passes on to FiOS TV customers what is provided by the content providers. Any editing would occur only at the content-provider level."
So that puts the ball back in USA's court. But since it took a month to get the above response from USA, I didn't want to hold up publication of this question further. My best guess is that USA is editing shows for VOD but it's not clear to me why that would be. I'm afraid this mystery will not be solved today.
Q: I was a big fan of Stephanie Watson from KDKA, Channel 2. Do you have any idea if she is back on television and, if so, where? Any answers you can give me with regard to her would be appreciated. Keep up the good work!!!
- Margie, 53, Cecil, PA
Rob: I have not heard that Watson has landed another TV job.
Q: Last Thursday WTAE reported at noon that JoePa's grandson was sexually molested by Jerry Sandusky. Nobody else has reported that anywhere. I have called the station and tried to get them to respond to my emails to give me more information, but they won't. Can you please find out if this true and if it is not, why didn't WTAE apologize for running a story that was false?
I'm watching KDKA from now on!
-MaryAnn, 53, Greensburg
Rob: According to news director Alex Bongiorno, "This info was sent down by ABC news network. We later reported the fact that the information was deemed to be a hoax."
TV stations often pass along news they receive from wire or satellite sources but given the nature of this report, I wondered if any attempt was made by WTAE staff to independently confirm the report. I asked Bongiorno via e-mail, "Was the correction made in the noon news or in a later broadcast and if so which one? Was any effort made to confirm the report before broadcasting it on WTAE?"Her response: "Was broadcasted in the noon news. Corrected in afternoon. Attribution was given to ABC News for source of information."
Q: I can't believe that "Storm Tracker" had to interrupt the last half-minute of "Jeopardy" tonight. Now we have no idea WHAT the correct response was, nor WHO the winner was. To make matters worse, after trying to find the episode on the Jeopardy website, the guy who was most likely the winner is from Pittsburgh!
They couldn't have waited another 30-40 seconds to interrupt the program?
- Patrick, 54, Pittsburgh
Rob: TV stations are in a tough spot on severe weather and I don't envy them. But I also understand the frustration of viewers. You can imagine a scenario where 30 or 40-seconds warning would make a significant difference in public safety but it also seems like such close calls are rare. Still, how do you manage that?
"Viewers tell us one of the most important reasons to watch a local TV newscast is to have a weathercast that they can depend on in times of severe weather," explained WPXI news director Mike Goldrick via email. "They've also said they expect us to do is to break into programming when severe weather watches and/or warnings are issued. We have very specific guidelines for the weather staff on how to react in times of severe weather.
"Last Friday night, Stephen Cropper was tracking a severe weather system had already caused some damage in Ohio. As we know, thunderstorms have been known to produce winds and hail that can cause significant damage and/or injuries, even death. Once the National Weather Service issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Allegheny County, [Cropper] saw it as his duty to get on the air right away.
"Unfortunately for fans of 'Jeopardy!,' that meant breaking into programming when the last contestant was answering the Final Jeopardy question. When Stephen was done, the show was over.
"When we realized we'd covered up the end of the show, we immediately shared the Final Jeopardy answer and the name of the winner with a number of viewers who contacted us by phone, email or on Facebook.
"The Channel 11 Storm Team is committed to keeping people safe during severe weather. This can mean interrupting a television program or sporting event. We understand viewers get frustrated about program interrupts. However, providing public safety information is the most important mission of our television station."
Perhaps if this happens in the future, WPXI could post a story about what was missed at WPXI.com. It seems likely more people would find it there than on the station's Facebook page.

Fastjet Plc, a London-listed airline that aims to offer low-cost services across Africa, has applied for a licence to operate in Kenya.
The airline recently registered a company in the country, Fastjet Kenya, which is now seeking approval to operate.
Fastjet said the subsidiary is 51 per cent owned by a Kenyan national in compliance with local airline ownership regulations.
Its licence application is yet to be gazetted by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority for public input, with the regulator having indicated it would do so by last Friday.
"We have submitted a comprehensive application to the authorities who have confirmed that Fastjet Kenya has entered the approval process. We look forward to bringing the Fastjet operation to Kenya, offering our market stimulating fares, our excellent on time performance and friendly service," the airline's CEO Ed Winter said in a statement.
The carrier has been long expected to launch budget flights in Kenya but has had a series of hiccups in its quest. It first sought entry into the market through a joint venture with budget airline Fly540 but has since severed links to go it alone locally.
The two partners disagreed over debt inheritance after several months of negotiations.
Successful launch of Kenyan operations will place Fastjet in direct competition with and Fly540 and Jambojet, a 'no-frills' low-cost subsidiary of Kenya Airways.

This is very familiar ground,
By A Customer
This review is from: How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization (Hardcover)
Foer is an excellent writer, and for those who aren't familiar with the history of the sport this is an excellent introduction. For those who are already well-read on football, much of this will be too familiar. The religious and political context of the Celtic v. Rangers rivalry, the laughable corruption of Brazilian football, and basically every other story in this book has already been covered by other writers. Though the globalization theme tries to bring a new perspective to these old stories, it just feels gimmicky. If you've already read Simon Kuper's FOOTBALL AGAINST THE ENEMY you'll regret spending your money here. If you haven't read Kuper's book, but you're interested in the sport, buy it immediately. This is light reading designed for those who know nothing about the sport's history. For those looking for more depth and more entertainment, skip this and go straight to Kuper, David Winner's BRILLIANT ORANGE, and Alex Bellos' FUTEBOL: SOCCER, THE BRAZILIAN WAY. All three are excellent, entertaining, and provide more insight into the topics Foer touches on. To summarize: the typical American reader with limited soccer knowledge will enjoy this, those with real interest in the subject would do well to move on to more meaty fare.

Singer Morrissey says no to Kimmel, 'Duck Dynasty'
Published: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 6:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 6:13 a.m.
LOS ANGELES - The TV series "Duck Dynasty" is coming between Morrissey and Jimmy Kimmel.
The singer and animal rights activist says he canceled his appearance Tuesday on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" because "Duck Dynasty" cast members will be on the talk show.
Morrissey says he can't perform on a show with what he called people who "amount to animal serial killers."
A&E's "Duck Dynasty" reality show follows a Louisiana family with a business selling duck calls and decoys.
A&E did not immediately respond to requests for comment from it and the Robertson family.
A person familiar with the Kimmel show's plans confirmed that Morrissey was to appear. The person lacked authority to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The person says Morrissey's performance will be rescheduled.
ABC says the Churchill band will perform Tuesday on Kimmel's show but declined comment on the switch.

The USD is benefitting/strengthening across the board this morning after the release of the U.S. CPI report indicating inflation accelerated in May
faster-than-expected (0.4% vs. 0.2%). The timing of the inflation report coincides with the FOMC 2-day meeting that starts today. Tomorrow's follow-up
announcement will confirm/verify the Fed's ongoing and possibly future monetary policy stance. In other o/n central bank news, the June 3rd
minutes from the RBA's last meeting showed policy makers will probably keep current rates low longer than originally thought. The RBA's official o/n cash
rate is currently at 2.5%. AUD weakened 0.7% soon after the release. In the U.K., consumer prices (inflation) rose 1.5% in May, the lowest since October
2009, but still below the Bank of England's 2% ongoing target. GBP was little changed after the report. China's yuan continues its PBoC-led comeback
(strengthening after a 5-month decline) on signs local onshore/offshore bets on the currency (one-way appreciation) have been flushed out.
Today's Events
• U.S. CPI rose 0.4% in May, double consensus @ 0.2%; core rose 0.3%, above consensus @ 0.2%
• U.S. housing starts sank 6.5% to 1.0 mln in May, above consensus @ 980k vs. 1.071 mln
• FOMC expected to focus on the terminal Fed funds rate, WSJ's Hilsenrath
• German June ZEW confidence unexpectedly fell to 29.8 (consensus @ 35.0) from 33.1
• U.K. May CPI unexpectedly dropped to a new cycle low of 1.5%, down from 1.8%
• RBA June minutes: growth will be below trend for next year, AUD level "too high"
• NYMEX crude retreats back toward $106 bbl, Iraq crude continues to flow

The contributions of voltage- and time-dependent potassium conductances to the electroretinogram in rabbits
The electroretinogram (ERG) is generated by light-induced electrical activity in retinal cells. Since potassium ions and potassium conductances play a major role in determining the membrane potential of cells, changes in these are expected to affect the amplitude and pattern of the ERG. We recorded the ERG responses and the isolated P-III waves of rabbits after intraocular injections of specific blockers for potassium channels. 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) did not cause any noticeable changes in the ERG while tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA) induced time-dependent effects. Short-term (1–2 h) effects were expressed as significant augmentation of the b-wave with little change in the a-wave. At longer periods of follow-up, the a-wave increased in amplitude while the b-wave decreased. TEA augmented the amplitude of the isolated P-III wave. These effects of TEA can be explained by TEA-induced depolarization of the photoreceptors. Cesium ions and barium ions induced substantial augmentation of the b-wave. Barium but not cesium ions reduced the isolated P-III component of the ERG probably by blocking the potassium channels in the Müller cells. The augmentation of the b-wave by both barium or cesium ions is inconsistent with the Müller cells hypothesis for the ERG b-wave.(Received July 17 1998)

Carl Frampton passed his sternest test yet in flying colors with a ninth-round stoppage of Kiko Martinez in a war to claim the European 122-pound title at the Odyssey Arena in his native Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Saturday.
Martinez, of Comunidad Valenciana, Spain, bullied Frampton into the corner in the ninth and connected with a right when he was met by a short right down the pipe that stopped him in his tracks and put him on the seat of his pants. Martinez attempted to get to his feet, but his legs were gone and referee Anssi Perajoki halted the bout as Martinez stumbled into the ropes. The time of the stoppage was 2:46.
The bout was waged at a furious pace, with Martinez constantly motoring forward and Frampton fighting on his heels. The 26-year-old Spaniard was able to set the speed of the fight and constantly pushed Frampton into the ropes, but the 25-year-old contender got off well with counter overhand rights and shots to the midsection while going backward.
It seemed at times that Martinez would overwhelm Frampton, but "The Jackal" never let the pressure break him. Frampton showed sound in-fighting skills and was able to consistently loop left hooks around Martinez's guard. He also showed good lateral movement in trying to evade his foe while setting up his own counter shots.
Martinez scored well with chopping rights when Frampton was ducking, but Frampton landed the cleaner punchers in the bout and was ahead on all three cards at the time of the stoppage.
The fight really picked up in the fourth frame and it was wild. The Sergio Martinez-promoted fight landed a big left hook, which forced Frampton to hold, then moments later landed a left that jolted his foe back into the corner. Frampton (16-0, 11 knockouts) seemed invigorated by the shots and responded with a right cross which shook Martinez up, followed by a left that hurt the titleholder.
Martinez had another strong showing in the sixth, where he dialed up the pressure and backed Frampton up with some heavy shots, but Martinez was never able to badly hurt his opponent.
The bout was tremendously exciting as Martinez (27-4, 19 KOs) never let his foot off the gas pedal, but Frampton proved that he could not only win when faced with adversity but also fight going backward.
Frampton, THE RING's No. 5-rated junior featherweight, called out Scott Quigg following the bout. Quigg was ringside to scout his potential foe and is rated No. 7 by THE RING. The Northern Ireland vs. England matchup would be one of the biggest UK fights in recent memory.

The Nissan Sport Sedan Concept has been unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show, giving us a glimpse at how the next-generation US-market Maxima could look.
You'll also see this design language on future UK-bound Nissans like the Juke facelift due to arrive in March.
The arrow-shaped headlights are a key feature, along with the large Nissan badge in the grille, nestled within a new chrome bar. It's a development of the design found on the Nissan Qashqai and the facelifted Micra.
Apparently this Nissan Sport Sedan Concept has clues to the next Nissan Juke. That'll sort it out. https://t.co/ntw1BR1r9R
— Steve Fowler (@SteveFowler) January 14, 2014
Nissan is saying the Sport Sedan is the third concept previewing its future design language, following the Resonance SUV and the Friend-ME hatchback concept. Taking cues from each of those, you can envisage exactly how each new Nissan will look.
"These distinctive design aspects will be applied to all future Nissan models," said Nissan Vice President and Chief Creative Officer Shiro Nakamura. "Nissan design will possess consistency and diversity which covers all body types, from sedan to crossovers."
"The Sport Sedan Concept shows a new, highly emotional and energetic design direction that takes Nissan's legendary approach of applying sports car principles to a sedan to the next level," continued Nakamura. "The Sport Sedan Concept captures that essence with bold and exciting sports car design and proportions."

This concept is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 engine producing more than 300bhp, delivering power to the front wheels through a CVT gearbox. To help improve handling, it's fitted with a special suspension set-up, which includes performance dampers.

Wallpaper Adventures
I had a big day in the Beacon Hill yesterday. Over my lunch break, I wallpapered the Serial Killer Room, or the Crime Room. I think the Crime Room is more accurate because I plan to put all kinds of crime things in there, and not everyone represented killed more than one person -- or was even real in Real Life. It's complicated. It will all make sense one day, I promise.
I used YES paste to put up the paper. It was a little wonky, a little messy, and a little frustrating. But I got it all done and am super happy with the results. The windows and door are covered with the paper right now. I'll cut them out later with my X-Acto. I didn't line up the patterns perfectly because I only had so much paper to work with. The Beacon Hill rooms are super deep. You don't really notice this until you try to start decorating them. The ceiling has paper on it as well, and the floor is white because it's been primed. Flooring and trim are to come.
My dollhouse has been a bare shell for SO long that it's starting to look odd to me that it has pretty colors on it. I'm having a wonderful time planning, planning, planning. It's hard for me to actually make progress on the house though because my house is super dark at night, and I have to WORK during the day and all. It's best to find little moments during the day or just work on it on the weekends. Slow and easy wins the race.
I gotta tell ya, I'm not exactly sure how I convinced myself to buy this kit all those years ago, but it was one of the best purchases I've ever made. I can't believe a box full of wood has been able to bring me so much joy. I love it.

With its diverse habitats of coastal scrub, coastal prairie, Monterey Pine woods and Eucalyptus forest, all accessible via a good trail system, the Pedro Point Headlands is a great place to become more familiar with Pacifica's winter avifauna.
About 30 species of birds can readily be found here on a typical winter day.
We'll meet at the firehouse on Pedro Point in Pacifica at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 27 and carpool up to the headlands from there. Once up on the headlands, we'll walk about a two mile loop that will take us through the representative habitats and along the top of the high bluff with its spectacular views out over the Pacific.
We'll aim to be back at the trailhead about 11 a.m.
As we will be looking primarily at small birds in the vegetation, binoculars are strongly recommended. The event will be lead by Paul Donahue.
More information about the Pedro Point Headlands, including a trail map, descriptions of the habitats, and a list of the area's birds can be found at www.pedropointheadlands.org. This hike is brought to you by the Pacifica Land Trust, supported by the CA Coastal Conservancy and Pedro Point Community Association

young joe walcott (harvey mccullough)
"Shortly before noon three men got out of a taxi and scuttled under the marquee of the Washington Coliseum to avoid the rain. One of them was 'Young Joe Walcott' (real name Harvey McCullough and no relation to the former heavyweight champion), who did not carry about him the fine flush of youth. With a ducktail haircut, dark glasses, padded-shoulder sports coat and tight, black pants, Young Joe might have been an aging rock 'n' roll singer. He chewed on a toothpick, turning his lumpy face up to sneak a look at the blue-letter marquee. If he expected to see his name he was disappointed, TONIGHT, it read, giving him no hint of fame, SUGAR RAY ROBINSON. HOLLY MIMS IN COFEATURE.
Walcott's advisers, a fat man in a gold coat and a fatter one whose suit looked fresh from an ashcan, trooped into the office to inquire about the weigh-in. A myopic lady in a print dress knew nothing. At the arena's main gate a lone ticket attendant told them to go around to the stage door at the rear of the building. They walked rapidly through the rain, the man in the gold coat holding a protective newspaper over his head. Rain dripped down Young Joe's seamed face, but he did not mind. Just one more indignity to bear in a life of cheeseburgers and long bus rides. After much door-banging a crotchety old man with a red face appeared to disclaim knowledge of any fight, whereupon he slammed the door. The trio made the long trek back to the front of the arena, Young Joe volunteering his only spontaneous remark of the day: "Man, I'm gonna walk all my weight off."
This time the entourage was admitted, after more confusion, to a gloomy, battleship-gray room in the depths of the Coliseum. A young, officious man took Walcott's pulse, poked him in the ribs and asked an embarrassing question: "The papers say you have a 6-10-2 record. That right?"
The pugilist looked uncertainly at his two handlers. The gold coat shrugged in the manner of a lawyer whose client is caught with hot goods. With a laconic "uh-huh" Walcott pleaded guilty. He was guided into an adjoining room to be fingerprinted. They are not very trusting in Washington. Half a dozen prelim fighters were going through the same ritual. None of them bothered to look up at Walcott.
Sugar Ray arrived a good half hour late. He walked in easily, wearing dark slacks and a paisley-print sport shirt, his eyes harboring the cloudy look of a man just aroused from deep slumber. Everybody hi-Sugared and howdy-Rayed as Robinson sidestepped an old-fashioned set of scales on rollers, shucked his shirt and dropped onto a straight-back chair.
He seemed uncertain whether he should speak to Robinson or ignore him, as Sugar was ignoring him. Young Walcott weighed 156 but looked smaller. When the ex-champ mounted the scalesin shorts, undershirt and sneakersthere was a moment of consternation. Sugar Ray muttered under his breath, stripped to the skin and still came in 10 ounces over the 160-pound limit. More mumbles. Gainford said, "Lemme see, Ray." His thumb performed a certain magic on the scales. "Hunnert and sixty on the nose," he proclaimed. Nobody disputed him.
There was a surprisingly good crowd that nightnearly 4,000 paying from $2 to $7 per seat-had rocked the arena when Robinson appeared 15 minutes late, bobbing and dancing in the white robe with "Sugar Ray" etched on it in apricot hues, ignored the cheers. By contrast, Walcott had paused on the ring apron to stare in disbelief at a tiny knot of fans applauding him. His next act was to misstep into the rosin box, turning it over.
At the bell Walcott seemed confused. Before he could get himself untracked Sugar Ray had hammered several quick lefts on his nose. Robinson rocked Walcott with a right uppercut and a moment later nailed him with a straight right that had Young Joe retreating. Robinson returned to his corner untouched by human hands.
In the second and third rounds Robinson jabbed and followed through, just as his mother had told him to do. The crowd applauded Robinson's showmanship, and it was easy to feel you were watching the Sugar Ray of old.
Round four brought Walcott a painful lesson in the art of infighting. Sugar's hands worked at his opponent's torso and under the chin. At ringside, in a white sequined dress, Millie Bruce came out of her chair, yelling: "Come on, baby. Come on, love." When Robinson paused to pull up his trunks Young Joe thought he saw his chance. He tried a long, looping right and immediately got tangled in his own shoelaces. Exposed, vulnerable, he struggled frantically for balance. Sugar Ray feinted a punch that could have sent everybody home to early supper, but he did not throw it. He dropped his arms, laughed aloud and tugged again at his shorts.
It was more of the same in the fifth. Robinson boxed Walcott off-balance three times and reprieved him three times. Once, when Walcott moved forward, Robinson chortled aloud, embraced him in the middle of the ring, then wheeled and mashed poor Walcott's sore nose with a stinging left.
But maybe Sugar hadn't been all that sweet. The exertion was taking something out of him. Suddenly, between the fifth and sixth rounds, he looked old.
At first the crowd thought he was resting for the final big push. There were cries of "O.K., Ray, now's the time," "Put 'im away, Sugar Boy." But the old combination one-two-three now misfired. So did some long right hands. Punches that earlier rocked against Young Joe's chin now slipped harmlessly over his shoulders.
It was hot under the ring lights. Sugar Ray grasped through the seventh, sweating buckets. Walcott hit him in the face a number of times, his first meaningful blows of the fight. In the eighth he did it again, and now Young Joe was looking tough. Robinson wasn't grinning anymore. There were scattered boos at the bell.
In the ninth Walcott pounded Robinson in the body, and though Sugar had chopped home a few blows of his own they lacked power. When the two pawed and clutched a moment later in the center of the ring a voice from the $2 seats yelled, "Waltz me around again, Sugar," and too many people laughed.
Many in the crowd were already heading for the exits before the end of the 10th, in which nothing happened except that Young Joe sent in a few more futile body blows. At the finish there was a roll of boos. Sugar Ray, tarnished but the obvious winner, accepted the victory calmly. All three judges favored him heavily. But the cheers were mostly for Walcott as he swaggered from the ring, proud, apparently, that he had not been knocked out.
Sucking a soft-drink bottle in his dressing room, Robinson thanked the writers who came by to see him. The old conceit, the old lip, the old arrogance were there, if his reflexes and the punch were not. No, he hadn't been hurtbut that boy was tough, no doubt about it. No, the heat hadn't bothered him too much. No, he hadn't really been looking for a knockout. He would be sharper for the champion Giardello if he went the distance a few more times. Nobody was counting, but Robinson had gone the distance three of his last four times out.
The newsmen rushed off to meet their deadlines. The last curious fans faded away in the halls. Houselights dimmed over the empty arena. His manager Gainford gathered up Robinson's fight paraphernalia, methodically stuffing a small bag.
From the shower, standing under a sting of spray, Sugar Ray called, "Hey, George! What was that cat's name I fought tonight?" "

I was wondering if I could have some help with the essay structure for the above unit. I'm currently an A2 student studying Russia and its Rulers 1855-1964 as well as the coursework module on Vietnam. However, I am resitting the Germany paper from the AS year.
I did rubbish in June on the paper (came out with an E) but our teacher never really went through the structure of our essay answers.
You get 1 hour 30 minutes for the paper, you answer 2 questions, and the total marks are 100.
This is a past paper question from the June 2009 exam:
Study the five Sources on the Building of the Berlin Wall in 1961 and then answer both the subquestions.
It is recommended that you spend two-thirds of your time in answering part (.
4 (a) Study Sources A and C.
Compare these Sources as evidence for the aims of the Western powers towards the German Democratic Republic. [30]
( Study all the Sources.
Use your own knowledge to assess how far the Sources support the interpretation that in building the Berlin Wall the German Democratic Republic was mainly concerned to prevent the fleeing of East Germans to the West. [70]
[Total 100 marks]
All together you get 5 sources.
Alls that we were told is to answer question A using CACTUS - Content, Authenticity/Authorship, C (I cannot remember at this time), Typicality/Tone, Usefulness & then Summary.
For question B, we were told to answer using GREAKS - Grouping, Reliability, Evaluate, Analyse, Own Knowledge, & Summary.
However, looking back through my notes I haven't got any explanations, and although they may seem self-explanitory, it seems mind-boggling to me! Another thing is that my teacher told me examiners do not like answers that are formulaic, yet she still gave us a set structure to answer the question?
Many thanks in advance,

Worried investors sold their risky assets and moved into the traditional safe havens: bonds, gold and stocks that pay high dividends like utilities.
Amazon reported late Thursday an increase in first-quarter profit, but the company also said that spending on investments will likely lead to an operating loss in the second quarter.
The retail giant dragged the rest of the technology sector lower, making it one of the worst performing sectors in the S&P 500.
Investors have had little patience for companies missing their forecasts this quarter, said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist
