Marcos Maidana: I'm Open To an Erik Morales Rematch
By John E. Brignone, notifight.com
Argentina's Marcos "El Chino" Maidana is not characterized by making long statements, but when he does speak he does it in a concise and convincing manner. During several interviews, Erik "El Terrible" Morales has claimed that Maidana is not willing to give him a rematch. Maidana won a close twelve round majority decision over Morales in April. During a recent interview on Radio Belgrano, Maidana downplayed the recent accusations from Morales, who claimed Maidana was a "very dirty fighter."
The puncher from Argentina is very open to rematch with Morales, who faces Maidana's countryman, Lucas Matthysse, on September 17th for the vacant WBC 140-pound title. Maidana wished Morales luck in the fight, because he would love a unification rematch at the end of the year.
"I'd like to meet Morales. I disregard their statements. I am very sure of myself. I've always had the same [fighting] characteristics. Beyond that I want him to do well against Lucas Matthysse, because I would like a rematch with Morales. The cancellation of the fight with Robert Guerrero changed my plans a bit," Maidana said.
[QUOTE=ELPERRO;11049954]If Morales wins the WBC tittle expect him to unify vs Khan. Khan has the ridiculous SUPER WBA belt as to Maidanas INTERIM WBA belt.[/QUOTE] note: Khan has the regular WBA tittle...it becomes SUPER WBA if you unify.Comment by ELPERRO on 08-28-2011

For some unknown reason, when I approach cab drivers in Edinburgh and ask for the ramp, they look at me as if I've just suggested gang-raping their mother. Other professions who provide a public service do not get to pick and choose who they serve.
One idea I would like the inquiry and any professional person reading this to bear in mind: we could talk about impacts on the economy, on business, on the NHS, on welfare, on employment, on public trust, on legal precedent, but before any decision is made any impact on people need to take priority.
During this time we've continued to let Millie take charge of her own journey, sometimes we'd question whether we should be wrapping her in cotton wool or allowing her to, when possible, enjoy the things other kids do. Millie, of course, has always chosen the latter.
Disabled supporters have an absolute right to expect the same enjoyable, socially inclusive experience as every other fan and football clubs have a moral and legal obligation to provide this. The clock is ticking.
One thing I think is true of parents who raise children with special needs and disabilities is the constant effort to do what is best for your child and sometimes these decisions can upset the normal routines and daily life.
We need to talk openly about this issue to remove the stigma that surround periods, and ensure finding solutions for menstrual hygiene management are included in efforts to improve health, education, and access to sanitation facilities. Fu Yuanhui is one sportswoman who inadvertently shined a spotlight on this issue. But together, we can all help break the stigma surrounding periods.
Children and young people's mental health is too important an issue to rely simply on local health leaders to lead change, especially given the wide variation in the quality of local plans and the significant barriers to progress identified in this report. This autumn, the Education Policy Institute Commission will use all this analysis to make detailed policy recommendations for national and local health and care leaders... Future in Mind must be implemented effectively so children and young people with mental health problems in this country get early access to the high quality support they need.
The industry that keeps people with impairments oppressed is huge, larger than people realise. For too many people, people with impairments are merely either financial commodities to make a living from, or political pawns, especially within left-wing politics. I would like to show 3 examples of the Disability Oppression Industry.
Responsibility for the unfolding disaster in South Sudan can also be laid at the door of the international community. The United States, for instance, was instrumental in pushing for its independence, but was not prepared for the long term commitment required to build a functioning state.
I have a confession to make.... I am impulsive......Not just spontaneous. But speed of light, slave to my desires impulsive. Sometimes it works well for me - I nab a bargain at an antique fair, respond quickly and intuitively to requests for help or discover an exciting off piste local attraction on a meandering walk in a new town or city on holiday.
An old enemy has re-emerged to threaten again the survival of marine top-predators, such as orcas, other dolphins, and other marine animals.This pollutant foe was first identified in the 1960s ... recent research has shown that it was only diminished, and far from extinguished as a source of harm or even extinction.
Integration, collaboration, joined-up working - call it what you will, the concept of closer partnership between health and social care is a familiar ...
If you hate the special needs price tag as much as I do, please shout about it. Please make businesses aware that this is unacceptable. Please be part of making the change that we all need. Be bold. And be loud! Use people power. Use social media. Shout from the rooftops of Twitter and Facebook.
Mitchell's "new Srebrenica" line echoes Jan Egeland, the United Nations official who's responsible for trying to broker humanitarian access in Syria. The effectiveness - or otherwise - of UN efforts to deliver aid into Syria has been one of the many vexed issues of this crisis. With Srebrenica (as with Rwanda) the UN failed abysmally. Is it going to fail with Syria as well? Let's fervently hope not. And let's hope that Aleppo stays at the centre of international attention. Because, even without a standalone massacre of Srebrenica's magnitude, Aleppo is already a frightening humanitarian emergency. Aleppo isn't the new Srebrenica, it's the old Aleppo. And that's easily bad enough.
Having worked in most of the world's conflict zones over the last 15 years, I thought I had learned enough about suffering, injustice and despair. But what I saw and heard on Nauru will haunt me forever.
Outside the clinic, bleaching beneath the Greek sun, there are rows of tents; accommodation for almost two thousand people. Refugees from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan have lived under these canvases for months already. They have been stranded after Europe closed its borders and the EU devised a controversial and morally compromising plan to return refugees to Turkey. There are more than fifty camps like this in Greece, for tens of thousands of refugees. In this camp, like most others, roughly a third of the inhabitants are children, and many are unaccompanied by family.

I was initially writing an "is this possible?" type post when about half-way through I had a look at the SemiSecure Login Reimagined plugin page and noticed the devloper had finally responded to my question - which was is it possible to integrate it with the Mingle login page? His reply (found here) contained a link to a plugin he'd written that attempts to integrate SLR with the majority of login forms currently available.
To install it just copy/paste the code on that page into a blank text file and save it as something like "Semisecure Generic Frontend Integration.php" - use whatever name you want but make sure you give it a ".php" extension, then upload it to your "plugins" directory, login to your admin area and activate it via the "Plugins" page.
Why am I writing this post? This is something I've invested the best part of a month researching so if this saves even just one person having to go through the same agony I'll be happy! :-D
Even the developer states that it's not guaranteed to work in all situations, and some scenarios - such as having a login box widget in the sidebar - may cause further issues, but it does seem to work with the Mingle login page so it should work with other similar forms.

NEWBURGH — Hundreds of parents and children filled the Newburgh Armory Unity Center (NAUC) to hold a ribbon cutting and reception on Saturday to celebrate the opening of a state-of-the-art Literacy Center to benefit students from the City of Newburgh.
The Literacy Center is the result of a partnership between the Newburgh School District, Mount Saint Mary College, SUNY New Paltz and the NAUC. The goal of this partnership, known as LEAP (Literacy Education Advocacy Partnership), is to evaluate reading levels of Newburgh school students and provide individual and small group instruction to improve reading.
The program is free for Newburgh students and will not be an expense for City of Newburgh taxpayers, NAUC Board Chairman William Kaplan said.
"This unique collaboration between higher education, local schools and the Armory will have life-changing effects on the children of Newburgh by gifting them with a love of reading and community support," Kaplan said.
Parent Marisol Williams spoke emotionally about how the program has affected her family. "The LEAP program reached something in my son that has awakened a love of reading and learning that was not part of his experience. We as parents must support this program by our involvement and support."
The ribbon cutting held at 321 South William Street in Newburgh included refreshments and tours of the facility.
The Newburgh Armory Unity Center fosters collaborative relationships responsive to specific needs of the City of Newburgh and Newburgh School District, including opportunities in education, athletics and health.
For more information, call 245-4035 or visit www.newburgharmory.org.

I now have to FAX and only FAX my question to the examiner who will within 10 days get back with me. As far as I can tell there is no way I will be able to prove that my huisband does indeed live with me all of the time. So, I told them that this is a scam to get out of paying the benefits I have been paying for for the past 4 years.
The people are all from India and will not allow you to speak to a supervisor, dont know how to contact an examiner by phone and cannot tell you how you are supposed to show that the main breadwinner does live with you.

Medical Lake approves first talks on JLUS
In a 5-1 vote, the Medical Lake City Council agreed to move forward with discussions regarding Spokane County's Joint Land Use Study and its potential implementation in the city limits.
The vote was scheduled to take place at its meeting earlier this month, however final verification from the county was needed before it could proceed.
Councilwoman Brenda Redell voted against the motion.
All property in Medical Lake, according to the mutual agreements in the memorandum of understanding, is grandfathered in under JLUS. If a regulation in either Military Area One or Two causes an "adverse effect of property" in the city, then Medical Lake itself will determine if JLUS or the city's regulations take precedence.
A modified version of MIA Three, which has more stringent regulations, would wrap around the city's proposed urban growth area to the north. According to the memorandum, the one requirement for property owners in the city, which falls in MIA Two, would be to record with the county a notice that the property is located within the immediate area of Fairchild Air Force Base.
The City Council's vote begins the discussion, which will take shape over the coming months.
"You have the option on whether to implement JLUS in Medical Lake," City Administrator Doug Ross said.
Also at the meeting, the City Council voted to approve a Washington State Transportation Improvement Board fuel tax agreement.
Ross clarified that the agreement approves the sidewalk project on SR 902.
"The fuel tax funds the grant that we received," he said. "The City Council approves the project with this document."
Acceptance of the agreement doesn't raise taxes in the city, but rather allows funds collected at a statewide level to be administered to the Medical Lake project.
The City Council also approved an early fireworks stand permit request. Last year, the city asked fireworks distributors to hand out pamphlets that reminded residents about safe fireworks usage on the Fourth of July.
"We'll be doing paperwork like we did in the past," Councilman Art Kulibert, acting as Mayor pro-tem, said. Ross said that if last year was any indication, distributing the information made a sizeable impact on the post-holiday cleanup.
Also at the meeting, new Medical Lake fireman John Greene was introduced to the City Council. Greene was appointed to the Fire Department at a previous meeting. He comes from the Airway Heights Fire Department, spending seven years with their crew, and has over 30 years in Emergency Medical Services training.
During the finance committee's report, councilwoman Shirley Maike said the second phase of new computer software for the city would be coming in May. The software is part of an effort to update billing practices at City Hall.

Imagination Technologies targets HelloSoft in move to bolster technology base
Imagination Technologies Group (LON:IMG) , the group that make processor technologies for the multimedia and communications markets, today said it was buying HelloSoft in a deal worth up to $47m (£29.5m). The move will give Imagination access to the California-based company's highly respected technologies that are used in video and voice-over-internet protocol and wireless LAN technologies.
Under the terms of the purchase, Imagination will pay approximately $20.2m in cash upfront and up to $26.9m over three years depending on performance – of which $9.5m will be in new shares and up to $17.4m in cash. The cash element is being funded through a placing of up to 12,208,950 new shares, or 5% of Imagination's share capital. Surplus cash from the fundraising has been earmarked for additional potential acquisitions. Shares in Imagination fell by 3% to 325p today, compounding a substantial fall from 411p since last week.
Elsewhere, the company reported that trading in the first half of the year to October 31 had been in line with expectations. It said it was seeing strong demand in its Technology business and had achieved good growth in licensing revenue and strong growth in royalty unit volume, with a current expectation approaching 100m partner chip shipments during the period. Trading in the PURE division, which focuses on developing DAB digital and connected radios, continued to be challenging, particularly in certain international markets. Revenues are now expected to show a decline compared with the first half of the previous financial year.
By acquiring HelloSoft, Imagination is moving to boost its own POWERVR multimedia processing IP cores to enable optimised end-to-end media-over-internet protocol solutions. The deal secures full control of the WiFi technology and roadmap that Imagination is already using in relation to its Universal Programmable Communication Platform. It also secures access to new channels in the telecommunications market to operators and service providers and product companies which operate at a higher level in the overall technology value chain. HelloSoft's founder and CEO, Krishna Yarlagadda will become president of Imagination Technologies USA.
Hossein Yassaie, Imagination's chief executive, said: "HelloSoft has exciting technology which together with our market leading multimedia and processing capabilities will enable us to deliver media (audio, video, voice and graphics) to connected devices whether mobile, within homes or across enterprises. We expect to deliver other complementary and strategic combinations in due course. The remaining funds will provide us with the financial flexibility to carry out other complementary and strategic technology acquisitions in relation to our visual and graphics intellectual property business area."

Abbott closed at $44.25. Therefore the price basis for the Hospira stock is based upon $4.425/share? Huh?
The cost basis would be 1/10 of the cost basis of the Abbott holdings that I have?
You are mathematically correct, if the laggard trades at $20 w/o a split, then Myles will cut the dividend 'cause he doesn't want the bagholders to make money. It has been his mantra for the last 6 years. When Plute complained about his $33 mln bonus, he spun off HPD to cash in a large number of tax-free millions fer sherr. I am the only one to point this out because it is the truth.
BBL! Kiki
At $20/shr it would yield 5% ;-)
The laggard would more likely be in the income insecurity column, Plute can attest to that!
BBL! Kiki
You are surely not referring to ABT as an income security, or are you?
You are wrong IMHO.
The laggard was manipulated BIG TIME today fer sherr ... that vast Jewish conspiracy, I tell you! Greenspan tried to circumcize the income securities, Jayzus.
C'est la vie! Kiki
...one more thing.
Your basis for HSP is whatever the May 3rd opening price is. That's the tax-free part of the deal -- you get HSP shares for free, but you get to treat them as if you paid full price for them. If they open at $29.01, and you sell later for $39.01, your gain is only $10 per share, not the full $39.01.
Your basis for your ABT shares remains unchanged.
Boy, I sure hope you don't do your own taxes. your cost basis is not the opening share price. Read the previous posts on how to determine cost basis. The cost basis of HSP will be a percentage of your ABT cost basis. Once the spin off takes place on May 3, you will likely be able to get the cost basis formula from ABT's web site.
Abbott Lab is right about the wi. But wrong about ABT fundamentals which are not good. After this settles down one should buy the HSP. I am going to wait and see if it falls a bit. The point has been made over and over the small spin-off often does very well.
TA for ABT:
The General
I didn't know that probably because I hadn't thought about it but it will save me a bundle. My cost for ABT is about 15 cents a share.
Check out prior messages on this board. ABT closing price does not determine HSP spin-off price -- not today, not next week. HSP is currently already trading as a 'when issued' stock, closed today at $29.01. Whatever HSP_WI closes at on April 30th, that will be the official opening price of HSP on May 3rd. 10% of that amount will be the decline in ABT, reduced from whatever its market value is on April 30th.
If today were April 30th, then next business day May 3rd, HSP would open at $29.01, and ABT would open at $41.35.
You sound right.Can you discuss timing for possible sell ABT @ higher price before 30 April or do you have to hold until 3 May with reduced price? Seems a way of getting both HSP & higher ABT price unless ABT as pure pharma has higher divy & rates higher PE. Some discussion appreciated.TIA

I'm delighted by the surge in price. What's the driver here? (By this I mean the immediate, recent driver. I know the long-term case for silver as both inflation hedge and safe haven. Anything new?)
I think it has more to do with a hint at economic recovery. So, it's the other use of silver (other than the ones you listed) that's driving it. That is, its use as an industrial commodity.
I agree that some of the better than expected economic data is pushing silver higher. A barometer I like to use with silver is the price of base metals. This shows how the industrial component of silver is influencing the price. Ticker symbol: DBB is the most user-friendly gauge of demand for industrial metals. SLV has moved closely along with DBB in the last 5 trading days if you take a look at the charts.Additionally, SLV has broken its 50-day moving average to the upside (it was below it all throughout April). This may entice the technicians to buy a little, too. I've seen some people see a cup and handle pattern, which can be interpreted as bullish.Overall, the fundamentals and the technicals are lining up quite well for silver bulls. I think silver is one of the best "reflation" investments out there.
That makes sense -- thanks. Yet another reason SLV is such an attractive investment -- heads up in a down economy and up in an up economy.
With 13K shares at stake, I'm delighted as well. 3 or 4 days ago there was a blog on this site that talked about a very large surge in call options for June at the $15 strike price. Anyway, the article seemed very real and I hoped it had validity. Last year a friend reminded me about "sell in May and go away"....I did not heed the advice ....Is it true this year as well??? Looking ahead to The Money Show in Vegas next week, enjoyed in the past. Peace, Ed

Patient Comments: Marfan Syndrome - Experience
Please describe your experience with marfan syndrome.
Comment from: 45-54 Male (Caregiver) Published: May 11
My wonderful husband has Marfan syndrome. He has had several life threatening operations, and still lives his life to the fullest. He is a great hunter, and his father died when he was 6 of a aorta dissection. The doctor's just didn't know enough about Marfan's back in the 60's, and he died in the emergency room. My husband is 45 now, and has lived many years longer than his father, thanks to the great doctors. His last surgery was 10 hours. The heart valve they put in when he was 20 got infected when he was 35, and He had to receive human heart valve and aortic tissue, to save his life. That was many years ago. Since then, his aorta has dissected over a foot, and stopped at the kidney area. He has had many problems over the years with his condition, but he stays positive. His sister, bless her heart, died two years ago from the Marfan's syndrome. She had a rod put in her back for scoliosis. She lived her life as she wanted, with no doctors, or treatments. She was 45 when she died. Her aorta ruptured. Her two daughters have a form of the syndrome, and one of them, also has a rod in her back. The other has some of the symptoms of the Marfan's, but has been in good health with no surgery. My husband never had children because he didn't want to pass on the gene. He has lost most of his family to Marfan's syndrome, as all but one in his family on his fathers side had the disease. I just want to say that he is a strong man, who knows his limits, and takes care of himself. Except for dragging deer out of the woods that is. His last surgery was years ago, and he was told that the tissue would be good for at least 10 years. He is getting MRI's and check-up's because he says it is "up to me weather I live or die" He may have Marfan's, but he is getting old and loving it!!
Comment from: mommanette12, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: April 27
I am a 40 year old mother of 12. Six that I gave birth to and the other six I was blessed to have acquired. I was diagnosed with Marfan's Syndrome 10 years ago. I immediately went into a deep depression. After a few months of feeling sorry for myself, I decided that I was going to live what life I had left. I ignored my doctor and tried to ignore the disease as much as I could. The doctors told me to take it easy and don't over work myself. I not only played basketball, but I coached two youth teams. That was until just two months ago, when I almost died and began to have more problems than ever with my heart. Now I'm scared. I worry about my children. I'm all they have to depend on. What will happen to them when I'm gone? I feel soooo helpless, there's nothing I can do except wait to die and hope that one of my children are not the person to find me. I wish now that I would have listened more and followed my doctor's advice. But I tell you, it is nice to know that I'm not alone with this condition.
Comment from: peggy, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: April 06
I am a 43 year old woman who has just been told I have Marfan syndrome. I have had a number of medical problems over the last 18 years. Tethered Cord Syndrome, Scoliosis, multiple hernia surgeries, and not least of all, a total lung collapse that required surgery in which the surgeon shaved down my lung, stapled off several blebs, and glued the lung to the chest wall. After that surgery, the surgeon advised that I had had approximately 6 prior collapses that healed on their own. I have long arms and legs and a short torso, along with some of the other characteristics of Marfan's. I don't know if this is something that I should now look into deeper. The doctor that talked to me about this said he can't be 100% sure that I have it.
Comment from: lgreen710, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: March 26
I've been in denial about having this disease for almost ten years now. I was 14 when I was diagnosed and never fully embraced the concept of it. I had to have rods fused to my spinal cord from Scoliosis which I developed from Marfan syndrome. From that point on I made it my goal to live my life as normal as I could. I ignored my doctors and played sports. While I had shortness of breath and dizzy spells I pushed on. Now it's starting to come back to haunt me. I was recently given this topic for my thesis paper. Thanks to the research I've been doing it motivated me to go to the cardiologist to get a check up. While my heart isn't in great condition it's not the end of the world. I know now not to push myself physically and how dangerous it is to ignore my doctors. I was depressed for a while, but then I realized that my life could be so much worse. I'm lucky to be alive. I have a great supportive family and I know that there is extensive research in the works. Most all I am thankful that my life is pretty normal.
Comment from: Rwillis99, 25-34 Male (Caregiver) Published: March 17
My Best friend Died from Marfan syndrome Wednesday of last week, he had 2 surgeries within the last year to help him. The second surgery went well and he was recovering but it left his vocal chord paralyzed. He experienced a lot of back pain as the incision from the second surgery was very large. I spoke with him only a few days before his passing and he was in good spirits. He knew he had the condition and was not expected to live to graduate high school but he did, we also graduated college together and he married my cousin and they had a boy only 4 months before his death. I just want to say to everyone out there that has complications with this syndrome to don't give up hope and live everyday with a positive outlook on life as my friend did, he got to experience a lot and had a good life, even though he missed out on a lot he was able to experience a lot more than he ever thought he would. Be strong and maybe with the use of stem cell research and new technology we will one day be able to reverse the genetic effects of the dreadful disease.

Gerald Kershner was a graduate of Berwick High School and had a great love for history. He particularly loved the Jackson Mansion as he was the great grandson of Colonel Jackson's coachman Jacob Knecht. His dream was to see the Jackson Mansion restored back to its glory days. Once The Berwick Historical Society got the chance to restore the Mansion, Jerry jumped in with both feet. Jerry made many financial donations and helped oversee much of the restoration using his vast knowledge of the Jackson family. We always enjoyed listening to Jerry tell stories about the Jacksons. He was loved by many and will be missed by all of us.
The Berwick Historical Society wants to continue Jerry's legacy at the Jackson Mansion and therefore has started the Gerald Kershner Memorial Fund. This fund will be used to continue the restoration that Jerry helped start.
Donations can be made by sending your contribution in memory of Gerald Kershner to: The Berwick Historical Society, P.O. Box 301, Berwick, PA 18603.
The Berwick Historical Society is a 501(c)3 non profit organization and your gift may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes. Donors should consult with their tax advisers or the IRS to determine whether a contribution is deductible.

Census: More people leaving state than moving inThe Associated Press | February 13,2013MONTPELIER — U.S. Census figures show that for the first time in almost three-quarters of a century Vermont lost population last year, a drop caused by more people leaving the state than moving in.
Even though last year's population decline was small, just under 600, it's part of a broader trend that has seen the state's population growth rate hover just above zero for several years.
University of Vermont Economic Art Woolf says it was the first time since 1944 the state lost population.
Commerce Secretary Lawrence Miller says the trend of losing population or low growth is a challenge to economic development.
The Census Bureau figures showed that Vermont and Rhode Island were the only two states in the country to lose population last year.MORE IN This Just InColleges merger

Mini guide to the south Devon coast
Looking for a nifty getaway? Torquay has been billed the 'English Riviera' thanks to its mild microclimate and exotic plants, but there's way more to Devon's coast than that. Think Art deco houses, fishing ports and the bigger-city attractions of Plymouth and Exeter.
What to see
Torbay has no fewer than 20 beaches - locals opt for the sand and shingle below the 240ft red-clay cliffs at Babbacombe. These can be accessed by a 1920s funicular railway (£1.80 return).
Magnificent in warm, honey-coloured stone, Exeter's Cathedral Church of St Peter is framed by lawns and wonky half-timbered buildings. Begun in Norman times, the cathedral has the longest unbroken stretch of Gothic vaulting in the world (1 The Cloisters, Exeter; visits Mon-Sat; £5).
The South West Coast Path spans the whole South Devon coast. One stretch that is doable in an afternoon takes in the South Point Lighthouse, overlooking the crescent of Start Bay. Nearby Hallsands has the ruins of a fishing village, abandoned after a storm in 1917.
Buildings cascade down wooded slopes and 17th-century shops with gilded fronts line the lanes in Dartmouth. Greenway near Brixham, once home to Agatha Christie, and Coleton Fishacre in Kingswear, are two fine National Trust properties.
The art deco-style Tinside Lido looks out over Plymouth Sound, and has been restored to match its 1930s heyday. The salt water pool is just off the grassy headland of Plymouth Hoe (tel: 44 1752 261915; Hoe Road; late May-early Sep; £3.65).
Eat and drink
Cap'n Jaspers café sits by Plymouth's historic Barbican area. The menu is of the bacon-butty school - try the local-crab rolls. The shellfish gracing the sarnies at Crab Shell has been landed on the quay a few steps away. Opt for mackerel and horseradish mayo, or kiln-roast salmon with dill (tel: 01803 839036; 1 Raleigh Street, Dartmouth; lunch, closed Jan-Mar).
A bit of a local legend in Exeter, Double Locks has scarred floorboards, battered board games and excellent ale, along with great food, including venison meatballs, while the food at The Salty Monk near Sidmouth is luscious, with dishes such as a Devon sirloin with a baby pasty and tomatoes topped with parmesan crisp. Dinner is by reservation only.
Torbay's Michelin-starred Elephant is full of creative fusions such as sea bass with hog's pudding gnocchi. There's fine dining in the Room, or brasserie dishes downstairs.
Torquay may once have had a reputation for tweeness, but there's not a doily in sight at Haven Hotel. Rooms are all clean lines with huge mirrors and beige throws.
Some of the cream-and-white rooms in the family run Bowling Green look out on to the modern incarnation of the Plymouth green where Sir Francis Drake played bowls as the Spanish Armada approached. If you tire of watching people throw woods after jacks, you can play chess in the conservatory.
Creaking with antiques and full of atmosphere, Raffles is a Victorian b&b in Exeter with a lovely blend of old woods and modern fabrics. A walled garden and much-coveted parking make this a great value choice.
A 19th-century house filled with lashings of tasteful fabrics plus four-poster beds and free-standing baths, Lanscombe House is set amid Cockington Country Park, between Torquay and Paignton. It has a pretty cottage garden where you can hear owls hoot at night.
The gleaming-white art deco Burgh Island Hotel feels like a 1930s film set. On its own island separated from the mainland at high tide (you can ride a unique 'sea tractor' to reach it), the hotel has put up Agatha Christie, Noel Coward, and Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson.
How to get there
Exeter and Plymouth are the main transport hubs. Exeter is 2½ hours by train from London (£19) and four hours from Manchester (£68). Air Southwest flies to Plymouth from many UK cities including Glasgow (2½ hours) and Newcastle (1½ hours). The M5 finishes at Exeter.
How to get around
Stagecoach buses run routes in Devon, with services departing from Exeter and Plymouth. The Exeter-Plymouth train runs mostly inland (1 hour, £4.50) while a line goes from Exeter to Paignton, via Torquay (45 min, £5.40).
This mini guide to the south Devon coast was originally published in the August 2010 issue of Lonely Planet Magazine.

Cleaning Up in the Dark; Companies Disclose Little About Costs of Toxic Sites
By MELODY PETERSEN
Published: May 14, 1998
Eighteen years after the passage of sweeping legislation to clean up the worst of the nation's toxic waste dumps, much of the job remains undone. American companies will have to spend billions of dollars in coming years to decontaminate the most polluted Superfund sites. But that is not at all obvious from scouring the companies' annual financial reports and filings.
Many companies, including General Electric and Viacom, only hint at their obligations in their filings and annual reports, leaving the people who invest in their stocks, live near their properties and work in their factories in the dark about when they plan to make amends -- and how much they expect to spend.
Now, a variety of environmentalists, labor advocates, scientists and insurance industry executives, all with different aims, want to see companies identify each site the Government expects them to help fix and provide their best estimate of what each cleanup might cost. Without such basic information, these people say, they cannot tell whether companies are doing all they can or whether they are ignoring the problem. That, in turn, makes it easier for companies to shirk their obligations.
Indeed, only about 37 percent of the 1,359 official Superfund sites have been cleaned up after 18 years.
When asked, executives say they have nothing to hide. It's just that quantifying these costs is next to impossible and often irrelevant, they say.
Current securities laws and accounting rules require companies to report what they expect to spend on environmental problems. But many executives argue that pending litigation clouds the picture or that the amounts are just too trifling to spell out, given the company's size. And so far, auditors have not objected.
In its annual financial report, for instance, Viacom, the entertainment giant, regales shareholders with news of its hit movie ''Titanic.'' ''Winner of 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture,'' it takes pains to note. But its yearly disclosure documents contain next to nothing about the mess in Palmerton, Pa., that Federal regulators trace at least in part to Viacom's door.
There, smoke from a zinc smelter has scattered huge quantities of heavy metals throughout the rural town. The smelter was operated for decades by Paramount Communications, back when it was an industrial hodgepodge known as Gulf and Western. By the time Viacom bought Paramount in 1994, the smelter had long been sold. But under Federal law, prior owners of Superfund sites can still be held responsible.
Toxic smoke from the smelter killed all plants and trees on a mountain overlooking Palmerton and the grass in residents' yards. Government tests have shown that children who live in Palmerton have higher than normal levels of lead in their blood. The metals have found their way into the horses and cattle that graze in the area and even into garden vegetables. Because the soil is sterile in places, fallen trees do not decompose but lie as stark reminders of the decades-long assault.
The smelting also left a swath of toxic waste 2.5 miles long that is still burning inside -- a molten mess that Government studies say could cost as much as $200 million to clean up.
But Viacom did not find Palmerton worth noting in its recent 100-page financial report. The only hint of the millions of dollars that Viacom may spend on it and 17 other polluted sites that regulators say the company is at least partly responsible for is a footnote that makes no mention of a Superfund problem per se.
The footnote states that the company has recorded a liability -- it does not say how much -- of its best estimate of its ''environmental exposure'' on a slew of unnamed matters. Through a spokesman, the company defended its accounting but refused to disclose more details, saying that the numbers were not significant to its financial performance.
As for any human and environmental toll, Viacom's position is that the Environmental Protection Agency has exaggerated the damage. ''The E.P.A.'s studies are flawed,'' said Carl Folta, Viacom's spokesman. For instance, he maintains that for Palmerton's children, ''the likely source of any elevated blood levels is the lead paint in homes.''
Proponents of more disclosure say that such disputes and reluctance to provide information about the toxic sites illustrate much about what ails the Federal Superfund program, which was enacted in 1980. It authorized the E.P.A. to identify the nation's most polluted sites and force companies to pay up to three times the actual cleanup costs.
But few people have been satisfied with the progress.
''It's now cheaper for the company to pay a lawyer a million dollars a year'' to file lawsuits that create a delay than to record a liability and clean up, said William J. Cooper, a chemistry professor at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. ''The current system does not work.''
His is but one name on a 1997 report by a panel of the National Research Council, an advisory group to the Government consisting mostly of scientists and engineers, that found serious shortcomings in corporate reports. According to the study, companies typically report a liability of about $1 million for each Superfund site, even though experience shows that the average site costs about $25 million to clean up. Though some of the disparity may arise because companies anticipate sharing the tab with other responsible parties, other studies have detected similar gaps. The report expressed concern that by suppressing the numbers, companies would be slow to embrace new technologies that could solve the problems more cheaply.

Flood-hit properties evacuated by housing association
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities, Health
Sovereign Housing Association has evacuated 11 of its tenants from flood-hit areas of Newbury.
Seven residents, six of who have learning difficulties, were moved out of their homes on Wednesday. Three were taken to flats at Sovereign's newly-built Redwood House in Hungerford.
"Although the homes of these vulnerable residents were not yet flooded, we took the proactive decision to move them to safety because of the imminent high risk of flooding and so reduce any distress," explained Nicole Sharp, Sovereign's regional director for Berkshire.
Two residents were moved out of property on Cromwell Road earlier in the week. Their homes flooded for a second time on Wednesday. A third resident was also forced to move out, and a number of other properties on Cromwell Road are at high risk.
On nearby Newport Road, Sovereign advised a vulnerable elderly resident whose home was at risk to move out temporarily and stay with her family.
On Wednesday, the 36,500-home provider prepared to evacuate Coachmans Court, a scheme of bungalows for older people, which was considered to be at imminent risk of flooding. However, the situation changed quickly and flood risk subsidised.
"Our housing teams, repairs and maintenance staff and neighbourhood wardens have been out in force, supporting staff from the local authority, fire and rescue service and environment agency. They have been keeping residents informed about the situation, advising them on how to keep safe and deploying sandbags to vulnerable properties," Nicole Sharp said.
"However, many homes remain threatened by the waters – especially given the weather forecast for the coming days. So we will be remaining vigilant and constantly monitoring the safety of our homes in this area with a view to activating our contingency plans, should they be required."
As part of its contingency planning, Sovereign has been preparing alternative accommodation at the recently vacated Fairfields and Northview Heights in Hungerford, in case more tenants need to be moved.

Tobias Ellwood has been appointed as the new Middle East Minister at the Foreign Office in David Cameron's government reshuffle.
Mr Ellwood's promotion was one of the last to be announced and came after former minister Hugh Robertson resigned.
The MP for Bournemouth East arrives in the midst of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
Hundreds of Palestinians have clashed with police in East Jerusalem ahead of the funeral of a murdered teenager.
There were also clashes on the Temple Mount as tension grew before the burial of 17-year-old Mohammed Hussein Abu Khdair.
A Palestinian teenager has been found dead on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
The 17-year-old's body was discovered following what is believed to be a revenge attack after the murder of three Israeli teenagers.
Police believe Mohammed Hussein Abu Khdair was forced into a car near the East Jerusalem area of Beit Hannina in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The IDF has confirmed it is searching for three Jewish teenagers who have disappeared in the area surrounding Hebron in the West Bank.
It is believed the yeshivah students may have been kidnapped by a Palestinian group while hitchhiking.
Board of Deputies treasurer Laurence Brass has said he was horrified at what he witnessed during a visit to a West Bank village, describing it as an "eye-opener".
Mr Brass, who was spending Pesach in Israel, took part in a private capacity in a one-day trip organised by Yachad UK and led by a guide from the anti-occupation Israeli army veterans' group, Breaking the Silence.
Nader al-Masri is a marathon runner and one of the Gaza Strip's top athletes. He has been running for 14 years and competed in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Last Friday, he should have been running the second Palestinian marathon held in Bethlehem. But although Mr Al-Masri could practically run from his house to the start line (a mere 65 km), he could not make it.
For most, a visit to Auschwitz is a simple act of commemoration. But when a Palestinian professor went to the former death camp with 30 students in tow, it was seen as near treason.
Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett has threatened to quit Israel's governing coalition if a group of Palestinian prisoners are released in a last ditch attempt to save the peace process.
Ron Pundak, one of the leading figures behind the Oslo Accords, has died aged 59 after a long battle with cancer.
In early 1993, while the official negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians in Washington were failing, a secret back channel with the PLO was opened by Mr Pundak together with fellow academic Yair Hirschfield - first in London, and then Oslo.
Marathon talks were still ongoing this week in a last attempt to save the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
Meanwhile, in Washington, US Secretary of State John Kerry, who put so much personal effort into launching the talks nine months ago, appeared to be placing most of the blame on Israel for their failure.

Photos: Lakshmi Rai with Sreesanth
The moment the controversial spot fixing episode of IPL (Indian Premiere League) broke out, actresses, who were linked with cricketers became a matter of debate in cine circles. Notable among them is none other than Lakshmi Rai. The actress, who had earlier been linked up with many cricketers including Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, was earlier seen with tainted Sreesanth, who was arrested last week by Delhi police for his alleged involvement in IPL spot-fixing. It was also earlier reported that they were dating.
Well, Lakshmi Rai, who had earlier denied that she was seeing Sreesanth, has claimed that she has no connection with the cricketer. According to her, the last time she spoke to him was three years ago. And she wonders why her name is now unnecessarily connected with him. This will affect her personal life and reputation. Hence, she requests not to link her name with him any more.
"It's been three years since I spoke to him, so why is my name being unnecessarily dragged. This will affect my reputation and personal life, since I'm seeing someone, so please keep me out of it," the Deccan Chronicle quoted Lakshmi Rai as saying. She claims that she is not even involved in the IPL after the first edition.

Skill Level Advanced
All right gang, in this exercise, we are going to take a look at the details that have gone wrong inside of the otherwise really splendid Content-Aware Scaled image and then we'll see ways to fix our problems in the next couple of exercises. One way that's officially endorsed by Adobe, but quite difficult and doesn't work that well. And then another way that I have discovered and it's really simple and it works pretty darn great. So, let's see what going on here. I have gone here and saved the stretched version of the dock, the image that I reformatted, so that it is horizontal instead of vertical, landscape instead of portrait if you will, using the Content-Aware Scale command and it's called Stretched dock.psd. So, this is the Content-Aware scaled version in other words.
And then, I also have this guy Squishy. jpg, which is the version that I created using the Image Size command which is clearly appear able. Let's go back to the predecessor here and let's look at what's good about it. This post looks awesome and this post has a slight problem, we'll come back to it in a moment. This post looks pretty dam good. All these details around here look great. The bird looks awesome. This bird looks awesome, so all the birds were well protected. So that's nice. We have the sort of weird thing with the fog rising over the tree and getting a little harsh right there at the top of the tree, a little sharp I would say compared to its former blurry self. But the background doesn't really bug me too much. There are some choppy details here and there but it's pretty good. This is about as choppy as it gets right there, we have real jag going on there. But will anyone notice? If we are going to notice something, they're going to notice the details that have gone wrong inside the dock.
So, let's go ahead and zoom in on those details. Right there, we have got a bent post or whatever that is, that support and then we have got another one at this location and who knows there that one would covered up, but this post is fine. So, it must be okay. These guy has got two jacks in them and then we come down to the axis they have got some real problem. This guy has gotten really stretched. This guy is sort of doing the wobble number right there and so on. Then we have sort of different problems going on different points. This is something very interesting to note is this kind of behavior right there.
See how that chip just came out of the word and then we have another place right there where we have a horizontal striation pattern where the pixels have just kind of moved apart like faults in the earth or something along those lines. This is very typical with Content- Aware scale, when it fails, this is how it fails and the reason is because it uses a choppier interpolation method than the Image Size command does. So, it doesn't tend to go in there and calculate using bicubic interpolation, and I have to say I'm not sure if that cleared it or not. I'm not even sure if that's possible giving that what it is doing.
Because I really don't know what's going on under the hood here. But I do know that it tends to move pixels as opposed to stretching them or creating softness between the pixels. So, it does less to smooth out transition, soften transitions or create anti-aliasing, then just shove pixels around and that's most evident with this line right here that is coming off the dock. You can see how the line is just moved over several pixels here, like two or three pixels over and same with this point here, just been shoved over and then this are has gotten really ratty as well.
And then you can also see it on this little bit of the post there which is moved several pixels over to the right with respect to the rest of the post. All right, so that's the kind of thing you have to watch out for with Content-Aware Scale and it will happen with the tiniest little details, the really small stuff, is this stuff that tends to go. So, you need to keep an eye on it and especially things like this. This line right here. That's exactly the kind of thing that is going to go self on you. You are not going to see it unless you're really looking for it and you'll put your image out there and I swear to you, a year from now especially, people will be able to see bad Content-Aware Scale from 5 miles away. It will be the kind of thing that people are really glued into. So, you want to watch that.
How do you address it? How do you avoid it? Well, I'll explain that over the course of the next two exercises.
