Seriously Ill Clive James Puts In A Bravura Performance At London Literary Festival
Posted at 7:40AM Monday 02 Jun 2014Clive James blew into London on Saturday with a quiver full of highly polished barbs, of the kind he deployed when he was the Observer's celebrated TV critic. Billed as a high noon, it was mainly a shootout with imminent mortality. Not that you'd have known it. "Ah, well," he began, with the sardonic smile of the old trouper, "another farewell appearance."

Cloud Customers Scramble After Nirvanix Announcement
By Elizabeth Dwoskin
Cloud storage provider Nirvanix announced it was shutting down on Monday, giving customers just two weeks to move their data elsewhere, two customers said.
The exit of Nirvanix, a San Diego-based company that has said it stores data for Fox Networks and National Geographic, among others, means more market share for giants like Amazon and Microsoft.
It also offers a warning about the downsides of shifting computing to the cloud.
Two weeks is not a lot of time to move valuable business data.

Information sources
What are these?
With the lack of quality control on the web, you will often encounter inaccurate information. One way of ensuring the quality of your sources is to use those that have been judged as suitable by a trusted authority.
Sources you will find via the routes described below:
- have been compiled by universities, or
- use traditional publishing accreditation processes such as peer review, or
- are the result of schemes to make traditional print-based media available online.
As with all the information sources you use, you should still use the ideas outlined in the Assessing information screen (in the Getting started section of your course) to make your own judgements about the sources you find.
Google scholar
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research.
Oxford Reference Online
Oxford Reference is a comprehensive online resource that contains over 250 dictionaries and reference titles. Oxford Reference is a subscription-based resource. Students of the Department's award-bearing courses can access Oxford Reference through the University's library catalogue (SOLO) using their Oxford username, and online short course students can access the majority of Oxford Reference resources, as well as many other Oxford University Press (OUP) online resources, through the 'Oxford Reference Online' block on their online course homepage. The Oxford Reference Online page provides further information for online short course students about the OUP online resource collections available, including details of how to access and search them.
Directory of Open Access Journals
This service covers free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals.
There are a growing number of schemes to make the full text of books available online. The following are some of the largest sources:
Open educational resources
A growing number of universities release free educational content as Open Educational Resources (OER). You can discover these on most universities' websites. Some examples are:
- OER from Oxford's Department for Continuing Education
- OER from the Open University
- OER from the University of Oxford
If you want a more general resource, OER Commons is a good place to start.
Lectures, podcasts and videos
Many universities and other organisations make freely available a wide range of podcasts and videos of lectures and other learning resources. Popular sites to find these resources include:
A note about Wikipedia
For many web users Wikipedia is the first place to go to for information about almost anything. Wikipedia makes use of technology that enables all users to contribute or edit content, and it contains information on a huge range of topics. However, because content can be contributed, or changed, by anyone at any time, it should not be regarded as an authoritative source. It is safest to think of Wikipedia as 'work in progress', and it is always advisable to corroborate any information found there from an additional, authoritative source. Wikipedia articles should contain lists of references, and that's a good place to start - following up those references will help to put the Wikipedia article in context. For more information about using Wikipedia for research see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About#Using_Wikipedia_as_a_research_tool.
Finding information on the internet
The Bodleian Continuing Education Library has produced extensive guidance on finding information on the internet. The CRAAP Test is a useful tool for evaluating the reliability of information sources.

We share, these days, a national tragedy. Thousands of innocent lives have been lost and military actions place service men and women at risk. As our fighting men and women respond, those of us in the civilian life owe them our full support and deep appreciation. They follow in the proud tradition of military service going back to the days of the minutemen.
As we support our fighting men and women, let us continue to remember those who paid the ultimate price for freedom in previous conflicts, as well as those who have served us with honor. In a high technology military, our soldiers develop high technology skills. These skills, along with attained leadership qualities, are readily transferable to the civilian workplace where high technology workers are in demand.
There are nearly 10,000 veterans registered as job seekers at Missouri WORKS! (www.missouriworks.com), the Internet site operated by the Missouri Division of Workforce Development.
With hundreds of skilled occupations in the military, chances are when businesses look for skilled workers, there are qualified veterans available with the required skills. To hire a veteran, contact your nearest Missouri Career Center or visit the Missouri WORKS! website. As we support those who now serve, let us also remember those who have served in the past.

Solutions for Chapter 6
Table 6.1 shows the relative impacts on ozone depletion and global warming of different refrigerants. Only HFC-23 has a global warming potential (GWP) greater than CFCs, along with a lower ODP value. So most CFC substitutes will be beneficial in both areas based on these values. However, various indirect effects are not reflected in the GWP values.

As Operation Cloud Pillar entered its second day, the IDF braced towards an escalation in the rocket fire on Israel, especially during the funeral of Hamas military chief Ahmed Al-Jabari on Thursday morning.
Since beginning the operation Wednesday, the IAF struck over 100 targets using precise intelligence information. According to top army officials, strikes were mounted around the clock. So far 10 Palestinians have been killed in the attacks, most of them militants.
IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz continued on Thursday to orchestrate the operation from the army's headquarters in Tel Aviv. The army expected Gaza terror groups to step up their rocket-launching efforts,which are expected to peak around 11:30am Thursday, during Al-Jabari's funeral. Over 110 rockets were fired on Israel since the beginning of the operation, primarily towards Beersheba. Most were intercepted, while the rest exploded in open areas. Some caused damage and one caused the death of 3 people (two females among them) and injured several children.
* Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood condemned the assassination of Hamas military chief Ahmed Al-Jabari, and called on the authorities in Cairo to sever diplomatic and commercial ties with Israel.
The powerful group said in a statement that "the Egyptian government must be the first to (cut ties), and serve as an example to Arabs and Muslims who maintain relations with this entity."
The statement further called on the Palestinian Authority to immediately halt its defense cooperation with the IDF.
The Brotherhood urged Egyptians to take to the streets and protest in front of major mosques in Cairo and other cities after Friday prayers, with a central rally taking place in front of the Al-Azhar Mosque in the capital.
The demonstrations are meant to show that Egyptians denounce the Israeli strikes on Gaza.
"We urge the entire nation to join the Muslim Brotherhood in showing our rage over the Zionist entity's attacks and our support for the Palestinian resistance at rallies that will take place after Friday prayers," Muhammad Badie, the movement's supreme guide, said on Facebook.

Soldier's Rampage Highlights Mental Health Challenge for Military
A South Korean soldier's shooting rampage over the weekend highlights the challenge for the military in ensuring the psychological health of the hundreds of thousands of mostly conscripted troops.
The army sergeant, in his early 20s and with a few months left until discharge, on Saturday killed five comrades and injured seven others, according to Seoul's defense ministry. He was captured Monday afternoon after trying to kill himself during an armed standoff with troops.
While the ministry said it couldn't pinpoint the reasons behind the violence, it said the sergeant was on a list of soldiers under watch for potential misconduct. Almost one-in-ten of enlisted servicemen in the soldier's division have been categorized as a potential danger to themselves or others, according to ministry data.
The 22nd army division that the soldier belonged to is known as one of the tougher posts, bordering North Korea, increasing psychological pressure for those based there. A division is a unit that consists of between 10,000 and 30,000 soldiers. South Korea has around 650,000 soldiers.
South Korean men must serve in the military for about two years unless they can prove they are unfit for service, physically or mentally. Most of them enter the army and for the first time live in a strict hierarchy that can be challenging. Physical and verbal bullying is common, especially against those less successful at fitting in, experts say.
In July 2011, a marine corporal who claimed to have been hazed by others in his barracks went on a shooting rampage, killing four and injuring one more. In the next weeks, two marines hung themselves in separate incidents. In another deadly attack in 2005, a soldier assailant citing bullying killed eight by throwing a grenade inside his barracks while other soldiers were sleeping.
"There are a lot of soldiers under watch in general," said ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok. About 7,000 men each year are either discharged or ruled unfit for service due to psychological illnesses, Mr. Kim added.
Those regarded as not fitting in can face being totally ignored by comrades, a treatment known as "the invisible man," according to a 2012 report by the National Human Rights Commission, based on a survey of troops. Violence, or a threat of violence, remains a problem, the report added.
Experts say soldiers' psychological troubles are viewed with skepticism by some due to suspicions that healthy men may abuse the system to get exempted from duty. Most officers surveyed said maladjustment was a problem caused by the individual, the report said.
The report calls the military's counseling efforts insufficient, citing a lack of specialists to deal with soldiers' problems.
The defense ministry and the military health center declined to provide details or comment on psychological support programs for enlisted soldiers.
Lim Tae-hoon, director at the Seoul-based activist group Center for Military Human Rights in Korea, said the system also implants a social stigma on those seeking help.
"Once you're selected, everyone knows you have a problem," he said. Information about soldiers' troubles is often leaked and aired through the barracks as the records circulate among leaders, the report said.
There are few options for those who don't want to live in barracks. Activists like Mr. Lim say the state should widely offer civil-service alternatives but the military has opposed, saying it will face a manpower shortfall. Conscientious objectors are sent to jail.

Germany destroyed the hosts Brazil in the World Cup semi-finals 7-1 on a crazy night in Belo Horizonte. Five goals in the first half were added to by second half substitute Andre Schurrle with Oscar pulling one back later in the game, but the star of the show was Bayern Munich's midfield maestro Toni Kroos.
Kroos, 25, stamped his place on Europe's big table last season when he single-handedly destroyed Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League knockout game. His form all year has been astonishing and he did not disappoint this evening.
Germany's stunning victory was set up by four goals in six first-half minutes with Kroos grabbing two of them. He also assisted the opening goal from a corner as Thomas Muller's excellent movement allowed him to side foot the ball into the back of the net from just a few yards out.
Kroos was pulling the strings in midfield throughout the entire match, completing 93% of his passes and misplacing just five in total. Two of those five were long-range, too, so in truth he only misplaced three short passes which shows a clear dominance of the ball in midfield.
The German has shown over the last few months how good he is at dominating the game from midfield, controlling possession and dictating the tempo of the match.
His heat map is equally as impressive, as he covered a huge portion of the pitch through midfield, from his own defence to Brazil's shaky backline. He completed dominated and showed the world precisely why Real Madrid are set to pay good money to take him to the Bernabeu.
He took three shots in the first half, scoring with the first two. His first was a beautiful left-footed half-volley from the edge of the penalty area that whisked into the bottom corner of Julio Cesar's net. The second was much easier and more reminiscent of a goal seen on Playstations around the world. A quick counter attack with Sami Khedira saw the pair play a fantastic one-two that bamboozled the Brazilian defence and left Kroos with an empty net to pass into.
Further to the attacking and controlling aspect of his game, Kroos won two out of the three tackles he attempted, with one just on the edge of the German penalty area and the other deep into Brazil's half, laying on more pressure on that terrible defence. That tackle in particular setup the attack that ended in Kroos scoring his second goal, in fact.
In more defensive work, Kroos made a block from range as Brazil became desperate to score.
All in all, it was a truly superb performance from the German. He was key to Bayern Munich's success last season and is equally as important to his country, showing exactly why tonight against Brazil.
He absolutely destroyed them with his constant pressing, excellent passing and killer instinct in the final third of the pitch.
A true masterclass of a performance on the grandest stage of them all.

Could the Italian elections precipitate a return to the intense days of the European sovereign debt crisis? Morgan Stanley -- which places 30% odds on a new election -- offers this nice chart which serves as a potential guide to danger. This shows the "OMT Range" on Italian sovereign debt in the red horizontal lines. In other words, ever since the European Central Bank announced its plan to backstop government debt, Italian borrowing costs have been in the range enveloped by those lines. Only if Italian borrowing costs (or costs relative to German borrowing costs) shoot above the top red

Six Buildings That Share One Story
By DAVID W. DUNLAP
Published: November 14, 2001
MID-MANHATTAN has one of America's great newspaper buildings. White as a web of fresh newsprint, terse as a punchy bulletin, it celebrates the masses and proclaims journalism's global reach. Clark Kent and Lois Lane would feel right at home. In fact, it was where they worked in the movie "Superman."
It's the former Daily News Building at 220 East 42nd Street.
The Times Building, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional understatement tucked away at 229 West 43rd. Once, you could find it by following the semitrailers hauling in newsprint or the vans trundling out bundles of freshly printed papers. But they disappeared in 1997. The only crowds out front now are waiting in line to get into the WWF New York restaurant down the block.
Beneath its mild-mannered facade, however, 229 West 43rd Street is a powerhouse, a landmark that has mirrored the growth of New York as a media hub and its decline as a manufacturing crucible. It speaks to its time and its place, as did its five predecessors, shaped by technology, transportation and the monumental chess game between The Times and its chief rivals, The Herald and The Tribune, before they expired together in the late 1960's.
Three of the old Times headquarters still stand, in one form or another. This is of more than nostalgic interest at a time when New Yorkers have been forcibly reminded of the importance of architectural symbols and the sense of dislocation that comes from their loss.
Surely the most remarkable of these survivors is 113 Nassau Street, where the New-York Daily Times was born in 1851. No historic plaque marks the spot, though you could at least get a Big Mac there until a few years ago.
The five-story building is quite the worse for wear, but it was never a prize to begin with. The structure was half-finished when Henry J. Raymond and George Jones arrived. There was no gas for lighting and no glass in the windows, so late-summer air wafted through the city room as the first issue went to press, blowing out candles.
Editors and reporters were "all eagerly scratching pens over paper, their countenances half-lighted, half-shaded by other guttering candles," a Raymond biographer recounted, while "grimy little 'devils' came down at intervals from the printing-room and cried for copy."
Elbowing City Hall and The Trib
After three years at 113 Nassau Street and four years at 138 Nassau Street, The Times moved to a five-story Romanesque headquarters at 41 Park Row, designed by Thomas R. Jackson. For the first time, a New York newspaper occupied a structure built for its own use.
As important as the architecture was the site: facing down City Hall. It was a declaration that the newspaper regarded itself as a powerful institution in civic life, particularly since it took the place of the Brick Presbyterian Church, a venerable bastion of New York society that had moved uptown.
No politician standing on the broad steps of City Hall could fail to note the newspaper's presence. And after 1871, when The Times led the crusade against the Tweed Ring, no politician could afford to ignore it.
Forty-one Park Row had another role. It put to shame the more modest quarters occupied by Horace Greeley's Tribune across Printing House Square.
In the 1870's, The Tribune replied with a tower that dwarfed The Times and everything else in New York except the spire of Trinity Church on Wall Street. So there.
The Times retaliated in 1889. Jones commissioned George B. Post to design an even grander building at 41 Park Row.
From bottom to top, it reflected industrial priorities. To allow the presses to remain in place, the new building was constructed around the core of the old building, which was demolished in phases as its replacement was rising. The uppermost floor was reserved not for the publisher's office but for the composing room, since printers would benefit from more light.
None too modestly — or accurately — The Times described its new 13-story tower as "New-York's Loftiest and Most Beautiful Building." Certainly the massive, rough- hewn Romanesque arches projected a sturdier presence than the Victorian frippery of The Tribune.
But that sturdiness was an illusion, undermined mostly by the construction costs, which sent The Times's finances tumbling. This was the crippled enterprise purchased by Adolph S. Ochs in 1896.
At 41 Park Row, Ochs reinvigorated the faltering Times with his promise "to give the news impartially, without fear or favor," and with features that define the paper to this day, including the Book Review, the Magazine and the motto "All the News That's Fit to Print." (Pace University has owned 41 Park Row for 50 years. It was designated a landmark in 1999.)
Under James Gordon Bennett Jr., The Herald decamped from Newspaper Row to 34th Street and Broadway, which was rechristened Herald Square, and a sumptuous building by Stanford White based on the Loggia del Consiglio in Verona.
Not to be outdone, Ochs leapfrogged over Herald Square to Long Acre Square, a carriage-making district around 42nd Street that was becoming a theatrical precinct. Even before The Times moved, it literally put its name on the map.

This time last week, London Welsh's many doubters were still wondering whether they would win a game in the Aviva Premiership all season. Then they secured a dramatic victory at home to Exeter Chiefs on Sunday and last night they proved that their opening success had not been a flash in the pan.
Against a team who finished sixth in May and had been widely fancied to improve this season, Welsh were conclusively the better team, more controlled in attack and vastly more committed in defence, scoring two tries to one. Having raced into a 13-0 lead after ten minutes,

Abstract—The network planning problem of placing replicated servers with QoS constraints is considered. Each server site may consist of multiple server types with varying capacities and each site can be placed in any location among those belonging to a given set. Each client can be served by more than one location as long as the round-trip delay of data requests satisfies predetermined upper bounds. Our main focus is to minimize the cost of using the servers and utilizing the link bandwidth, while serving requests according to their delay constraint. This is an NP-hard problem. A pseudopolynomial and a polynomial algorithm that provide guaranteed approximation factors with respect to the optimal for the problem at hand are presented.

Algorithm design and analysis, constrained optimization, applications, distributed file systems, client/server.

Sunny days call out for a creamy milkshake or an icy smoothie. For a little relaxation in the evening, maybe a chilled beer or a blended margarita. As the weather turns cooler, we crave lattes and hot chocolate. Although tasty, these seasonal drinks can lead to bulging waistlines and bloated bellies.
The calories we drink often are overlooked, even by the most diligent dieters. These liquid calories could be slowing or even stopping your weight-loss efforts.
We asked Susie Garcia, a registered dietitian in Oakland, about some of the most calorie-heavy drink choices you can make. In addition, we offer some healthier alternatives that should make beverage selection at home, at the cafe and at happy hour a little bit easier.
1. Coffee: Starting off a day with a cup of coffee is as necessary as breathing for some. However a cup of black coffee is not equivalent to a frothy flavored latte or, the most daunting of them all, a frozen blended drink.
"I would say coffee products and (Starbucks) Frappuccinos are some of the most surprising as far as the amount of calories and sugar," Garcia says. "Something as simple as a chai latte can have around 20 grams of sugar in a 12-ounce serving." A white chocolate crème Frappuccino with whipped cream in the 12-ounce "tall" size at Starbucks has a whopping 430 calories and 13 grams of fat.
Instead: Drink a plain cup of Joe. Add a little bit of cream and sugar, if desired, but keep it to a minimum, and nonfat (or low-fat) milk is usually available as a substitute for cream. If you don't like plain coffee and prefer espresso beverages, get a 12-ounce "skinny" latte made with nonfat milk for about 100 calories. Ask for sugar-free syrups if you like a little flavor. Frozen blended drinks also can be made with nonfat, low-fat or soy milk to cut down on calories.
2. Fruit juices: Just because the packaging shows bursts of colorful berries doesn't mean that's all that's in there. Although there are probably traces of nutritious fruits, many juices are packed with sugar, artificial flavors and sweeteners. In 2009, Men's Health magazine deemed Arizona's Kiwi Strawberry the worst juice "impostor" on the market. It packs 345 calories and 81 grams of sugar. Lemonade and orange juice may seem like healthier options, but they still comes in at about 110 calories and over 20 grams of sugar for a measly 8-ounce serving
Instead: "Drink water," Garcia says. "I like the sparkling water with lemon or lime essence in them if you don't like drinking plain water."
3. Sports drinks, energy drinks: Although their promises of energy boosts and increased performance may be tempting, sports and energy drinks are often filled with sugar or caffeine. Both may give immediate gratification, but that is followed by an inevitable crash.
"Some of your vitamin waters and other drinks have their place and aren't as bad if you're an athlete," Garcia says. "But a lot of them are just sugary drinks. The other thing that's difficult is that a lot of them come in 20-, 24-ounce containers and a single serving is 8 ounces."
For example, a 24-ounce can of Rockstar has 140 calories and 31 grams of sugar per 8-ounce serving.
Instead: Sugar-free energy drinks offer minimal calories and sugar alternatives. However, artificial sweeteners aren't much better than real sugar because they have zero nutritional value. If you're desperate for an energy boost, drinking a cup of black coffee will give you that caffeine and a lot less sugar. For an even healthier alternative, exercising in the morning can get your adrenaline going, boost your metabolism and energy levels for the day and help you sleep at night.
4. Soda: That sweet taste and tingling carbonation is sometimes too good to turn down. However, in a regular can of soda, the sugar and calorie counts alone might be enough to turn even the biggest soda fanatics away. Never mind the risk of tooth decay.
"The other factor that can make a soda less desirable can be its packaging," Garcia says. "Super-large containers are just going to give you super-large amounts of calories." In a standard 12-ounce can of Coke are about 140 calories and nearly 40 grams of sugar.
Instead: "Diet sodas can be an alternative; however, nonnutritive sweeteners create another debate," she says. "The best rule of thumb is to limit to one (can) or less per day whether it is regular or diet."
5. Alcohol: Counting calories is probably the last thing you want to do during happy hour, so many of us don't. However, taking calories and sugar into consideration when ordering a drink may not be such a bad idea next time.
"One drink is 100 calories. A beer, a glass of wine or a shot of whiskey, they're all about 100 calories," Garcia says. "If you're trying to lose weight, consider that." When you combine a shot of liquor with soda or a sugary mixer, the calorie count starts to add up. Fancy drinks such as margaritas can pack a lot of calories. A 3.3 ounce margarita holds about 153 calories. Keep in mind that many restaurant drinks are bigger than that.
Instead: "I would say my first chance would probably be wine or a light beer," Garcia says. "The other thing I'd suggest is doing a wine spritzer. Instead of a 5-ounce glass of wine, have 2 ounces of wine and 8 ounces of club soda."

I learnt this recipe from my sister-in-law,she made this for us when we visited her house for the first time... When I came newly to Singapore,I don't even know the ABCs of cooking. And when we stayed at her place for few days,I got impressed by her style of cooking and the ease with which she does,she never complicates anything and always keeps her cool how much ever work load she has! I have learnt so many easy yet yummy recipes from her. My apple custard post is the one I learnt from her. So this is also such recipe,you can make it to impress your guests! Still I have
This is very special post for me,3 rd blog Anniversary!
Easy Rasmalai recipe
Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook time: 25 mins | Serves: 4
Milk - 2 & 1/2 cup
Evaporated filled milk - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Saffron - A pinch
Cashew nuts - 8
Elachi, powdered - 1
Pistachios - 8
Ghee - 1 tsp
- Warm 2 tablespoons of milk and crush the saffron to it and keep it soaked till needed.
- Take an heavy bottomed/non-stick vessel, grease the bottom of the pan with few drops of ghee.(this is to prevent burning of milk at the bottom)
- Boil milk for 20-30 minutes in very low flame. Keep stirring now and then.
- When the volume reduces almost half,add the saffron soaked in the milk,evaporated filled milk and boil for 2 more minutes.
- Chop the nuts and fry it in ghee till golden brown and add it to the milk too,add the sugar and simmer for few minutes. (Is this is called rabri/rabdi)?.
- Squeeze the sugar syrup from the rasgullas,take care you don't squeeze the rasgullas hardly(this will make the rasgulla break),just squeeze it gently.
- Add it to the milk when it is still hot. Let it get soaked. After cooled down,refrigerate and serve cold.
- Thick boiled milk with the caramelized smell of the evaporated milk + the saffron when combines, is the meaning of divine smell! Delicious!! The rasgullas dunked becomes soft and combines well with the rabri!
- Do not add more than the mentioned evaporated milk as it will turn the rabri look ugly in colour.
- Also too much of saffron will spoil the taste,make sure you add just a few strands.
- Keep refrigerated and tastes best when served cold….

Sygnature Chemical Services will help Heptares Therapeutics progress one of its internal GPCR programs. Sygnature will use its synthetic chemistry expertise to produce a novel library for Heptares to evaluate against its purified, stabilized, and functional GPCR targets, StaRs™ (stabilised receptors).
This technology involves introducing a small number of point mutations into the structure of a GPCR to improve the molecule's thermostability while preserving its functional and drug-binding conformation and characteristics in detergent-solubilized form. Heptares claims that the StaR technology overcomes problems traditionally associated with inherent instability of GPCRs and for the first time allows drug discovery methods such as crystallization, structure-based design, fragment screening, and ligand interaction analysis to be applied to traditionally intractable GPCRs.
The company's most advanced project results from its discovery of highly novel antagonists of the A2a receptor. It says it plans to look for a development partner in the field of Parkinson's disease early next year.

Keenan Allen Q&A
Cal junior wide receiver Keenan Allen, who caught 98 passes in 2011, is expected to be healthy after undergoing surgery on his right ankle in March following a pickup basketball injury:
Q. Have you dunked a basketball lately?
A. Oh no, no basketball for me. It's strictly football. I can go out there and play H-O-R-S-E. I feel pretty good. If I had a game Saturday, I could play. I don't know how long it would hold up because (the ankle) doesn't have all its full capacity and flexibility yet. I've still got a long time (before the Sept. 1 opener)."
Q. The Pac-12 may have the best wideouts in the country, including Robert Woods and Marqise Lee at USC and Marquess Wilson at Washington State. Tell us why you are better than any of them and how you're better than you were a year ago:
A. I feel like I bring a lot of things to the table, being able to catch the ball, being able to run after the catch, go deep, run a screen. Being able to make a quarterback play, throw the ball if the team needs me to. I have a lot of versatility on the field. Those guys, you're used to seeing them at wide receiver or punt return. I like to go out there and be versatile.
Q. There has been a buzz since last spring that the eligibility of your half-brother, senior quarterback Zach Maynard, is in jeopardy because of academics. How is he coping with that talk and who do you expect to be under center on Sept. 1 when you guys open the new Memorial Stadium against Nevada?
A. I definitely expect Zach to be under center on Sept. 1. Being with Zach my whole life, I know he's good under pressure. He's always struggled, always been in hard times, he's always under pressure. I have the utmost confidence in him. I know he's going to come out there and do great things. He's going to take care of the academic stuff and he's going to be ready to play football. He's actually doing pretty good. He's taking care of his academics. I have no doubts.
Q. After two home games, you guys are on the road for a pair of high-profile road games -- at Ohio State and at USC on back-to-back weekends. What kind of performance will you expect from yourself on those Saturdays and how important those games will be to Cal's season?
A. I take the motto that big-time players show up in big-time games. I'm going to come out there and give it my 100 percent for four quarter. They definitely excite me, but I think all games excite me. Every time I go out there I feel like it's my turn to shine. I've got to impress somebody so I just go out there with that mindset. As far as the team, playing Ohio State and USC back-to-back, that's going to show our character. It's definitely going to develop a path for this season.

Hundreds of animals adopted at super pet adoption festival in Rancho Mirage
More than 200 animals were adopted at the event
POSTED: 02:37 PM PST Dec 24, 2013 UPDATED: 06:52 AM PST Nov 25, 2013
More than 200 animals found loving homes this weekend at the Loving all Animals pet adoption event in Rancho Mirage.
Riverside County was just one of almost three dozen shelter and rescue group organizations transporting animals to the event.
This year's theme, "There's No Place Like a Home," played off the "Wizard of Oz" magic with a makeshift yellow-brick road and characters representing Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.
Most of the dogs were already spayed or neutered for the event so adopters could immediately head home with their new family member.

A Must Read - Share
In a calmer world, Ronald Kessler's second book about the U.S. Secret Service might have made more waves. In The First Family Detail, there are salacious details about Bill Clinton's alleged mistress (although Kessler stops short of actually accusing him of having sex with another woman), the cringe-worthy mental image of Joe Biden swimming naked, and a bunch of gossip about current and former protectees.If Kessler truly had penetrated deep inside an enigmatic agency that is struggling with some scandals and demographic change, then I would wholly recommend the book to you.

Jail for ASBI-breaching nuisance tenant
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Communities and also in Housing, Legal, Local Government
Jail for ASBI-breaching nuisance tenant
A man has been given a 12-week jail sentence for breaching his antisocial behaviour injunction (ASBI).
Philip Proverbs was handed the ASBI in September after it was applied for by Sheffield Council. District Judge Birkby took the unusual step of granting a Power of Arrest, which meant the police could arrest Proverbs for breaching the terms of his injunction.
Proverbs, 38, lived with his mother at her home on Hucklow Road, Firth Park in a block of flats reserved for people aged over 40.
Soon after moving in, Proverb began pestering his neighbours with loud music and offensive language.
In July he threatened a neighbour and her daughter. He was arrested and charged with a public order offence and was sentenced to a supervision order, given 60 hours unpaid work and a restraining order.
He had also been threatening towards staff from the council's ALMO, Sheffield Homes.
Proverb's injunction prevented him from being in a defined area in and around Hucklow Road, including his mother's flat.
He was arrested by police on 11 November after trying to gain access to his mother's address.
The council's barrister informed the court that the evidence from the police was that Proverbs had been aggressive and resisted arrest and later said when questioned that he would return to Harlow Road after he was released, adding "I'm going back all the time".
Judge Moore gave Proverbs an immediate 12 week sentence of imprisonment, saying "It's clear to me that you regard this Injunction as a piece of paper that means nothing to you, and which you will breach again and again".
Cllr Harry Harpham, Cabinet Member for Homes and Regeneration, said: "This sends out a clear message that anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and all proven breaches of tenancy agreements will be enforced. We take our responsibilities in this area very seriously and we aim to ensure that all of our tenants feel secure in their homes."

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
This Wednesday, February 3, will see the release of the fourth installment in the six-issue Vertigo miniseries, Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love by (writer) Chris Roberson and (artist) Shawn McManus. Recently, I was fortunate enough to email interview Roberson about Cinderella, as well as his upcoming ongoing Vertigo series with artist Mike Allred–I, Zombie.
Tim O'Shea: Looking at the historical flashbacks that open issues 2 and 3 of Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love, I'm curious are you a fan of history? Which of the historical flashbacks you have built into the story reflects your favorite historical era?
Chris Roberson: History is one of my passions (alongside cartoons, puppets, superheroes, quantum physics, etc). I minored in history in college, and taught middle school history for a couple of years before I'd paid off the karmic debt left over from being a smartass when I was in school. In the eighteen years or so it took me to break into comics, I built a career as a writer of science fiction and fantasy prose, and a good percentage of my short stories and novels have played around with history in one way or another—alternate histories, period pieces, you name it.
As for which of the flashbacks in Cinderella reflects my personal favorite era, I'd probably have to punk out and say "All of them." I'm a fan of stories set in each of those time periods, and getting to work all of them into Cindy's backstory was like being a kid in a candy store.

Keith adds Norris Trophy to Cup victory
Thursday, 06.24.2010 / 12:52 AM CT / Features
LAS VEGAS -- Pretty good month for Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith, though it didn't start out that way.
On May 24, in a hockey episode well documented in words and video, Keith lost seven teeth during the second period of Game 4 of the Western Conference. While he was treated in the dressing room, he heard the Fratellis' song, "Chelsea Dagger," thumping from the ice level signaling a Blackhawks goal, and started feeling better. Within seven minutes of game time, Keith was back on the ice to lead his team in minutes played (29:02) as Chicago swept the San Jose Sharks before going on to win the Stanley Cup.
Now, on June 24, Keith will wake up as the 2010 Norris Trophy winner as the NHL's best defenseman.
"To come out and be the guy who gets the award is kind of surreal a little bit," Keith told the media while looking at the famed trophy backstage. "To think of the other defensemen who have won it, and nominated, and the other Blackhawk players who have won it, Chris Chelios, Pierre Pilote to name a couple, to be in that group is kind of unbelievable."
Accepting the Norris on stage, Keith admitted some nervousness ("feels like a playoff game") and gave a shout-out to Blackhawks fans in the audience at the Palms Hotel's Pearl Theater. He thanked his fiancée and noted she was sitting next to Alex Ovechkin, adding a "hands off" warning to the Capitals star.
Keith's thank-you list lasted longer than his time at the podium, so he started his backstage interviews with a big thank you for Blackhawks team therapist Jim Gary.
"When I turned pro, back in Norfolk I started working with him," Keith said. "He's a really big reason why I am up here. Maybe I should have mentioned him earlier in the speech."
Keith said he was unhappy with his play in the final weeks of the regular season, so he called Gary during the first round of Chicago's Cup run.
"One [phone] call really turned my game around," Keith said.
Keith also thanked defensive partner, Canadian Olympic teammate and "good buddy" Brent Seabrook backstage.
"Maybe we can get him to win this award sometime too," said Keith, who acknowledged that it would be tough even for himself to repeat given fellow 2010 nominees Drew Doughty and Mike Green -- not to mention Calder rookie winner Tyler Myers.
Keith added Nashville defenseman and another Canadian Olympic teammate Shea Weber to the list of young stars at the position, then quickly gave props to veterans.
"To me, [Nicklas] Lidstrom is still the best," he said.
The Chicago defenseman added he grew up watching the just retired Rob Blake and Scott Niedermayer, which is possible "when you are 12 and those guys start playing in the League at age 20." He added the still-active Chris Pronger to the same revered list.
"Those guys are still the best and I still look up to those guys in a lot of ways," he said.
Not surprisingly, the Norris winner was asked about the reported deal that would send teammates Dustin Byfuglien, Brent Sopel and Ben Eager to Atlanta.
"It saddens me," he said. "Those are good buddies leaving our team. Bennie is a good friend and I remember first time in prospect camp with Buff; he was 17, I was 19. I grew up watching Sopes in B.C. playing for the Canucks. But I knew things were going to change [because of the NHL salary cap]. It's part of the game."
The last month was part of an astounding year that will continue for Keith, who also won an Olympic gold medal in February. His day with the Stanley Cup this summer -- he will bring it to Pentiction, B.C. -- is going to be July 17. That's one day after Keith turns 27.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I picked this book up on a whim - had never heard of the author, never heard of the book, but thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did because it was pretty enjoyable.
'Kind Of Cruel,' is a crime novel with a heavy lean towards the psychological, making the plot fascinating and less predictable then more well-worn subsections of the crime genre. The quality of the writing was good, and the characters, for all their uniqueness (and sometimes bizarreness,) were pretty believable.
The main character, Amber, is trying to remember where she has seen the words 'Kind, Cruel, Kind of Cruel,' before - words which are the only slim lead in a murder investigation. And what on earth does it have to do with a holiday home the family stayed in several years before? These mysteries keep you reading and guessing right along with Amber and the police presence, Simon Waterhouse and Charlie Zailer (glimpses into the dysfunctional life of Simon and Charlie - who are married - are also pretty compelling.)
The main issue that I have with this novel is that the voice used to narrate switches in a sometimes confusing way. We have Amber first person, we have omnipotent narrative, we have a third voice (the voice that starts the novel,) which I assumed at first to also be Amber but turns out to be another character. I assume this wasn't done on purpose because I see no reason for it to have been, as all it does is confuse and slightly disorientate.
This novel is also so very, very, British, that it came as no surprise that many of the author's works have been adapted by ITV; it has that school-gate 'in our village!' kind of feel that reminds me (only a little) of Midsomer Murders. Luckily, unlike Midsomer Murders, it's a little more grounded in the realms of reality and plausibility (the bizarre nature of some of the character's actions is explained through psychological means rather than just left to be ignored in favour of the plot.)
It was generally an enjoyable read, something for those who are bored of the same old crime fiction repeated again and again; I would definitely read another book by this author in future.
It is so nice to read a mystery novel where you don't see the ending coming from the start but this is the case with Sophie Hannah's exciting tale. The culprit of the mysterious goings on is clearly hinted at part way through the story but it is the motive behind them that keeps you guessing. Arguably, this is because when the solution does arrive it is somewhat farfetched however, its a beautiful twist which will leave you just the right level of surprised and satisfied with the conclusion.
The story centres around Amber Hewerdine; an insomniac, who goes to a hypnotherapist as a last resort and whilst 'under' utters the words "kind, cruel, kind of cruel". She does not understand the significance of these words nor in fact remember where she has seen or heard them before but when she unwittingly reveals to a police officer what she said she finds that they are the only clue in an otherwise dead end murder case. This in itself is an ingenious idea as it leaves the reader wondering what these words mean, what relevance they have to the case and why they would come to Amber in a state of hypnosis.
In a similar fashion there are a number of seemingly unconnected unanswered questions throughout the story which not only give the reader a desire to find the answer but also to discover how they all connect.
The book is written in a largely simple style making it accessible and easy to keep turning the pages.

By Spc. Angel Turner, 4th BCT, 1st Cav. Div. PAOOctober 15, 2012
FORT HOOD, Texas-- Students of Thomas Arnold Elementary School presented their adopted unit, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th "Long Knife" Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, nearly 300 "freedom bags" during an assembly Oct. 4 at the school.
"It's just a small token of our appreciation for everything that the Soldiers do for us, for fighting for our freedom," said Lisa Nix, principal of the elementary school in Salado, Texas.
The Long Knife Brigade has been the school's adopted unit since their redeployment from Iraq last year. As a part of the Adopt-A-School Program, Soldiers volunteer their services when needed and when available.
"Soldiers participated in our LEAF program, Learning English Amongst Friends, where bilingual Soldiers came in and worked with parents," Nix said.
"We do have a watch dog program and we have asked Soldiers to be a part of that. It's where we have a male role model come in once a day and our Soldiers may come once a month to participate in that," said Nix.
"Last year we (also) had some Soldiers who came and worked in our Prairie Garden area," added Nix who resides in Salado.
The freedom bags are a kind gesture the Salado school has been doing for years to support the Troops.
"When the first troops went over after 9/11 we started making them then and we have been making them every year since then for our (adopted) unit," said Donna Driggers, a counselor at the elementary school.
"Every child in the classroom gets a white bag and decorates it with patriotic symbols and then every child brings in 12 individually wrapped snacks and we stuff them.
Driggers said the school celebrates freedom week as part of their curriculum. During that week students learn about the symbols of United States and what freedom means.
"When we started making the bags we decided to call them 'freedom bags' to go along with that week," stated Driggers who has been a counselor for 38 years.
Each month, the school has a character trait students learn about. This month's character trait is peace. Students also gave a presentation of peace during the schools assembly.
"I think today went really well," said 1st Lt. Kristin Beehler, the brigade rear detachment personnel officer for 4th BCT.
"The kids were excited to see us. Their focus today was peace for their school assembly and I feel like they made the 'goodie bags' kind of hoping to bring some of our Soldiers peace, especially since they're about to deploy," said Beehler.
As Soldiers gathered their freedom bags, students ecstatically waved goodbye and thanked the Soldiers for coming to their school.
"It was fun to interact with the kids and to see them so happy and excited," added Beehler.
A small gesture of spending time with those students not only made an impression on the school and students but on the Soldiers as well.
"I think it's great that they have this program," stated Beehler, a Mansfield, Texas native. "We give to them, with having our mentorship down there, and they also give back to us and I think that's pretty special."
Nix said she and her staff will be thinking of ways to continue supporting their adopted unit while they are deployed.
