WEBBER READY FOR 200th RACE
F1 - Australian Mark Webber is set to become just one of three current drivers on the Formula One circuit with at least 200 grand prix races to their names.
The milestone at Sunday's Bahrain race comes as the 35-year-old faces pretty turbulent times in his career.
Furious after teammate Sebastian Vettel ignored team orders and overtook him as he was leading the Malaysian Grand Prix, Webber's next race in China was beset by problems and capped by a three-place grid penalty for Bahrain for causing an accident.
"(It was) such a rough fresh team, when I first joined them and that was a big attraction," Webber says in a video that Red Bull posted on the internet.
Recently Webber was linked to a possible move to Porsche to steer their assault on Le Mans next year.
Tennis - Stanislas Wawrinka chewed up Andy Murray and then spat him out in less than an hour at the Monte Carlo Masters overnight.
Murray was dismantled 6-1 6-2 and didn't look like putting up a fight for a second. He dropped serve five times and made 24 unforced errors.
Then he was jeered off the court when it was all over.
"Just looked at the stats ... 24 unforced errors is far too many. That's a set's worth. That's where half the points went," Murray said.
In other tennis news, eight-time defending champion Rafael Nadal extended his Monte Carlo winning streak to 44 matches by beating Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-2, 6-4.
And top-ranked Novak Djokovic put his sore right ankle to the test, rallying from a set down for the second straight match to beat Juan Monaco of Argentina 4-6, 6-2, 6-2.
NBA - Cleveland has fired Byron Scott after three seasons at the helm of the club.
Scott was sacked after guiding the Cavaliers to a 64-166 record.
"I have tremendous respect for Byron professionally and a great deal of admiration for him personally,'' said Cavs general manager Chris Grant.
Scott took over in July 2010, just before LeBron James decided to leave the Cavaliers to join the Miami Heat as a free agent.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia owner Josh Harris announced coach Doug Collins has resigned from his position at the 76ers.
Football - Superstar Lionel Messi has returned to training for Barcelona ahead of next week's Champions League semi-final first-leg at Bayern Munich.
The four-time world player of the year has struggled with a right thigh injury that limited his appearance in the quarter-final to an inspirational second-half cameo during the second-leg elimination of Paris Saint-Germain.
F1 - Riot police fired tear gas and stun grenades at Shiite protesters who hurled petrol bombs during demonstrations against this weekend's Formula One Grand Prix, witnesses said.
"No. No to blood Formula" and "your race is a crime," chanted protesters who took to the streets in Shiite villages, denouncing the decision of F1 to go ahead with the race despite complaints of rights abuses by the kingdom's Sunni rulers against Shiites.
The February 14 Revolution Youth Coalition, a clandestine cyber group that mobilises protesters, boasted on its Twitter account that people took to the streets with "a steel will".
It said people were "imposing a different rhythm in the street, in the first round of Volcanos of Flames" - referring to the name they have given to a week of demonstrations against the F1 race in the Gulf state.
Is this the worst free kick in football (soccer) history?
Cycling - Lance Armstrong's former team manager believes cycling has entered a new era after months of controversy, much of it provoked by the disgraced former seven-time Tour de France winner.
MotoGP - Track officials say an overnight garage fire at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas caused minimal damage and will not disrupt the inaugural MotoGP of The Americas this weekend.
Cycling - British Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday led tributes to the country's most successful Olympian Chris Hoy, after the cycling great announced his retirement from the sport

THE NEW YEAR stumbled out of the gate when Center City's Brasserie Perrier closed after an 11-year run. The classy joint had a dependable beer selection, not to mention a beautiful bar.
But despair not, for there's some intriguing growth in the city's beer-drinking scene in the outlying neighborhoods. West Philly, for example. Now, here's a puzzlingly under-tapped swath where I barely need a thumb to count the bars devoted to craft beer: White Dog Cafe, Mad Mex, Dock Street Brewpub, Fiume and Bridgewater's. If I'm being generous, I'll toss in Slainte and New Deck Tavern, too.
Other than Dock Street, though, they're all crowded into the Penn/Drexel nexus. What about the rest of the neighborhood?

for Creating Vibrant, Healthy, and Resilient Communities
As transportations-related disciplines of urban planning, architecture, landscape architecture, urban economics, and social policy have undergone major internal reform efforts in recent decades. Written in clear, easy-to-follow language, this book provides planning practitioners with the tools they need to achieve their cities economic development, social equity and ecological sustainability goals. Starting with detailed advice for improving each mode of transportation, the book offers guidance on balancing the needs of each mode against each other, whether on a downtown street, or a small town neighborhood, or a regional network.

Scott was steadily employed for twenty years, but then he lost his driver's license and had to ride public transportation to work. The fluctuating times of the bus route caused Scott to be late some days and he was terminated from his job. Struggling to find another job, Scott was forced to use all his savings and found himself on the streets. He remained homeless for a year and a half.
"Being homeless is a terrible place to be. No one wants to help you when you are homeless," Scott stated. However, Scott did find help at Homefull's (formerly known as The Other Place) shelter. After meeting with a case manager, he was assessed as being a viable candidate for a new permanent supportive housing program.
In September 2007, on his birthday in fact, Scott entered into housing at River Commons apartments. In partnership with Montgomery County and DMHA, Homefull provides the supportive services at River Commons.
"It's the little things you don't think of," Scott explained about the joys of having a home, "like waking up and having a bowl of cereal at my own leisure or shutting a door and having complete silence."
Once at River Commons, Scott was referred to an employment program partnered between Homefull and Goodwill Easter Seals. Scott met with an employment specialist and went to a Goodwill Store weekly to earn money and be trained. Shortly after, he was able to find full-time work at BD's Mongolian Grill at The Greene. Scott has been there for two and a half years now, and has even been promoted.
"I am grateful for the job I have now — they are hard to find. But I have to keep goals," Scott said. Some of his future goals include getting a job with health insurance and saving up to get his license back. Also, Scott would like to get a home in Kettering. "I understand these programs are structured for us to move on. And I want to get my own place so I can get a dog," he explained.
Scott faced the challenges of not having reliable transportation or a permanent address, which made it almost impossible for him to find solid employment. With the help of his case managers, Mark and Tony, Scott is in the process of moving back into mainstream society while residing at River Commons.
In October 2009, Goodwill honored Scott with a Participant of the Month award. He received a cash prize and a plaque. In April 2010, Scott was again honored by being selected Employment Independence award winner at Goodwill's Annual Awards Celebration.
Scott's story is a perfect example of how the mission of Homefull is lived out in the lives of clients every day. Through education, services, and advocacy, Scott found a home and personal success. He modestly says, "I just took advantage of everything they had to offer and did everything they asked of me."

Fine Living | Diary of a Somebody
Michel Roux Jr – Day 1
A lack of langoustines, but the über-chef ensures 2013 at Le Gavroche opens with a feasting full house
January 08 2013
Michel Roux Jr
It is the first day back at Le Gavroche after Christmas and New Year, and a busy start to the week. I wake at 7am, breakfasting on a double espresso, homemade bread and my mother's homemade Seville marmalade. It's a lovely beginning to the morning – I can't understand those who decide against breakfast.
Monday is the busiest day in terms of organisation at Le Gavroche, as the day where we set up for the week. I arrive at Upper Brook Street for 8am, where the kitchen is already a hive of activity. On a Monday the chefs arrive at 7am to kick start preparations. I check deliveries and supplies and sit down with Rachel Humphrey, our head chef, to go through the menu. There are still no langoustines – Scottish fisherman seem to be on strike or possibly they enjoyed the New Year's celebrations a little too much… In any case, we are substituting langoustine for lobster – which never goes down badly.
At around 11.30am I settle down with the staff for a steaming bowl of pasta, washed down with a couple of double espressos. I don't drink alcohol from Monday to Friday, and try to drink a large amount of water throughout the day. I think it's really important, especially if, like me, you have a penchant for coffee.
After talking to a lot of happy customers who come in for lunch, I head to the gym for a very gentle workout for about an hour and a half. I am hoping to run the London Marathon for the ninth time, which will be my 18th marathon in total. Unfortunately, I have a torn calf muscle at the moment, so I am keeping the cardio to rowing and cycling for now. I think the marathon might be a bit of a challenge this year.
I pop home for a cup of tea with my wife, Giselle, and catch up on post and emails before heading back to the restaurant for the dinner service. I am back at Le Gavroche for 6pm to welcome a full house. Eighty covers on the first Monday in January is a reassuring sign that we are doing something right. Before the guests arrive, all the staff sit down once again to a tasty bowl of stir-fried rice – it really keeps us going. Throughout the evening I make sure that I speak to every table in the restaurant; it is one of the joys of my job. You meet so many interesting people with the most intriguing stories, as well as regular customers who often become friends.
One of the parties this evening is a table of 10, celebrating the 50th birthday of Sue Thompson, who has worked with the Roux family for more than 20 years. It is wonderful that the people who work with us also choose to celebrate important landmarks in their lives with us. Another of the guests is the son of a good friend of mine who owns the three-Michelin-starred restaurant De Karmeliet in Bruges. It is great to see him.
At 10.45pm, after the last order has gone out, I leave the restaurant and head home. With a warming mug of thyme tea (not my favourite, but all we had), I catch up on the BBC news and the events I have missed during the day. After a nice long shower, I head to bed at midnight, content following a rather seamless Monday and full of anticipation for the first – and very busy – week of 2013.

Craftsy or any other business cannot control the UK and other country's customs fees and has absolutely nothing to do with our postal system. It's their post office via the country's laws that requires you to pay the duties before they will give you your package. Many countries even open up the package and inspect the contents. Since the pattern was given with the class, it could have been marked as a gift. However, that may not always dismiss all the import fees.
I think it is hit or miss. At my work, most Canadian customers do not have issues with shipments. But a few have contacted us to let us know they got slammed. I imagine it's a downer. I love looking forward to a package but it would be awful to have to pay to receive it after I already purchased it. From what we can tell at work, UK does have high custom fees. We rarely get purchases made over $20/USD.

Just like every other NFL stadium across the country, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome has its share of trouble makers on New Orleans Saints game day.
But SMG vice president Doug Thornton said the number of ejections at the Superdome is small in comparison to the number of unruly fans who were dismissed on a regular basis when the company ran the Oakland Raiders stadium. On any given Sunday at Oakland Coliseum there might be 25 to 30 fan ejections by halftime.
"Here we might have four or five in a game," said Thornton, whose company runs the Superdome as well as the NFL stadiums in Jacksonville, Houston and Chicago. "Now that is a typical game because of the Atlanta game you might get a few more."
Thornton believes Saints fans are more well-behaved than most fan bases because of the overall host mentality of the city.
"New Orleans, we have a different patron here," he said. "People here are used to Mardi Gras, they are used to Jazz Fest. They are very social, they are not mean-spirited. They are not as aggressive as we have seen in other jurisdictions.
"From my perspective the New Orleans fans are a bit unique. They are very hospitable."
And as result there are very few incidents that result in ejections or arrests on game days at the Superdome.
"We have great fans here," Thornton said. "We have very few incidents compared to other places."
But when the need arises, the SMG security team says it has no problem dismissing unruly fans - even if they are Saints fans.
"I know sometimes they look at it and say they are not going to do anything to the home fans, but that is not our case," said Donald Paisant, who is director of public safety at the Superdome. "We are equal opportunity ejectors."
Some Saints fans had complaints about fan experience at Candlestick Park

Reaction Thursday to the South Carolina Supreme Court ruling in the Baby Veronica case was extreme.
Coming Sunday
Who is truly looking out for Baby Veronica? Read about the people who say they have the child's best interests at heart.
Elation came for the Capobianco family on James Island that the court had acted so quickly. Outrage came from Dusten Brown, the father of Veronica, who is trying to hold onto his daughter in Oklahoma. Lawyers and legal experts on both sides are holding their collective breaths to see if this case is finally coming to a conclusion.
On Wednesday, the state Supreme Court, in a 3-2 ruling, ordered Charleston County Family Court to finalize the adoption of Veronica by the Capobiancos and to terminate the parental rights of Brown. The ruling also said there was no need for a Family Court "hearing on the child's best interest," which would be an opportunity for the Brown family to argue their case in court.
Veronica's birth mother gave her up for adoption to the Capobiancos shortly after she was born in September 2009. Her father, from Oklahoma, who is part Cherokee, filed for custody under the Indian Child Welfare Act after he got the adoption papers in January 2010. He had originally expressed no interest in his daughter, but has since made a home for her.
At the heart of the issue was whether Brown's rights as a father are protected under the Indian Child Welfare Act, a federal law aimed at keeping American Indian children in their native communities.
The S.C. Supreme Court originally held that the federal law gave immediate custody of Veronica to Brown in December of 2011. Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the federal law does not apply when "the parent abandoned the Indian child before birth and never had custody of the child."
They sent the case back to the S.C. Supreme Court, unequivocally finding that the ICWA does not mandate custody be awarded to the birth father.
"We were pleasantly surprised at how quickly the court acted," said Jessica Munday, spokesperson for the Capobiancos.
Shannon Jones, attorney for the Browns, said she is preparing her brief for a rehearing of the case due to the court on Monday. The court gave lawyers five days to file an appeal on the case. She wants the court to explain why they didn't allow a hearing on the "child's best interest" in Family Court.
"That impact will carry out and endure into the future — that a child's best interest is to be ignored," she said.
Brown and his wife Robin issued a statement Thursday expressing their feelings: "We are outraged that the South Carolina Supreme Court would order the adoption of our child finalized without a proper hearing to determine what is in Veronica's best interests.
"This child has been back with her family for 19 months and to tear her away from us, the family she loves and the only family she knows or remembers, would be devastating to her."
Lori McGill, lawyer for the birth mother, was on the other side. She said, "That decision serves Veronica's interest in being reunited with her family – her adoptive parents who raised her literally from before birth until age 2 ½, and her biological mother, who has an open adoption arrangement with them – a family that she was torn from 18 months ago with no transition period whatsoever, solely because of a mistake of law and the Cherokee Nation's belief that a tribal member was entitled to possess her because of her 1% Cherokee ancestry."
The National Congress of American Indians also weighed in, saying that removing the now-3-year-old girl from her home in Oklahoma would be traumatic.
Editor's note: Previous versions of this story incorrectly attributed a quote to Jessica Munday.

Northeast Regional Class AA predictions
February 28, 2013 - Mitch Rupert
106: 1, Cameron Newman, Line Mountain; 2, Angelo Barberio, Muncy; 3, Zack LeBarron, Warrior Run; 4, Corey Stauffer, Midd-West.
Notable: Line Mountain's Cameron Newman is the biggest unknown in this weight class. He struggled with his weight last week and just didn't seem to be wrestling like the state qualifier he is when he lost to Lewisburg's Brian Friery. A first-round match between Corey Stauffer and Zack LeBarron is regional-final worthy with the loser fighting an uphill battle to take second.
113: 1, Eric Hunt, Warrior Run; 2, A.J. Luton, GAR; 3, Taylor Johnson, Central Columbia; 4, John Tomasura, Lake-Lehman.
Notable: The biggest thing to come out of the District 4 tournament last week was the confidence Eric Hunt gained as a gold medalist. GAR's A.J. Luton cannot be overlooked. He wrestling Wyalusing's Collin Edsell to a 3-1 loss earlier this year and a potential semifinal matchup with Central Columbia's Taylor Johnson should be an absolute dandy. Lake-Lehman's John Tomasura is a darkhorse third-place finisher.
120: 1, Matt Welliver, Benton; 2, Zach Fry, Hughesville; 3, Lewis Williams, Central Columbia; 4, Collin Edsell, Wyalusing.
Notable: The truth is Matt Welliver is a step above everyone else in this bracket as a returning state fourth-place finisher. Central Columbia's Lewis Williams fought off his back early in his first match last week to work his way into the finals. He wrestled two dandy matches with Hughesville's Zach Fry this year, and should get him for a third time in the semifinals. Collin Edsell of Wyalusing is a freshman who's capable of sneaking into the top three.
126: 1, Kent Lane, Southern Columbia; 2, Logan Everett, Williamson; 3, Andrew Schutz, Wyoming Area; 4, Keith Batkowski, Montoursville.
Notable: Southern Columbia's Kent Lane made a big statement with a dominant win over Williamson's Logan Everett a week ago in the finals. He and Everett are likely top-4 finishers at states, and Wyoming Area's Andy Schutz is a returning state qualifier. This is a weight with five legitimate state medal-winning caliber wrestlers. Montoursville freshman Keith Batkowski had a huge tournament a week ago beating South Williamsport's Andrew Gipe and finishing third. He'll have to come up with at least one upset to move into the top 3. Gipe is a four-time regional qualifier who has never been to Hershey and is a threat to upset one of the three returning state qualifiers/placewinners in this field.
132: 1, Cole Walter, Mifflinburg; 2, Austin Harry, Lake-Lehman; 3, Trevor McWhorter, Williamson; 4, Zach Edwards, Blue Ridge.
Notable: Lake-Lehman's Austin Harry would likely be District 2's best chance for a regional champion except for Mifflinburg's Cole Walter being the top seed in this bracket. Walter is a returning state bronze medalist, but Harry is also 34-0 this year. Blue Ridge's Zach Edwards is a three-time regional qualifier and Williamson's Trevor McWhorter is coming off the best district tournament of his career. Walter and Harry are a step above the field, but the fith for third should be exciting.
138: 1, Zain Retherford, Benton; 2, Seth Lansberry, Line Mountain; 3, Demetri Probst, Bucktail; 4, Nick Heck, Wyoming Area.
Notable: Line Mountain's Seth Lansberry wrestled a beautiful match against Benton's Zain Retherford last week, but made two mistakes that cost him four points. He has the ability to wrestle evenly with Retherford on his feet, but can't make those small mistakes and give the junior world champion any kind of opening. Bucktail's Demetri Probst could become the Bucks' first-ever state qualifier with a repeat of his third-place finish a week ago.
145: 1, Colt Cotten, Benton; 2, Billy Barnes, Williamson; 3, Zach Heeter, Midd-West; 4, Aaron Johnson, Central Columbia.
Notable: Billy Barnes wrestled tentatively in his finals matchup with Colt Cotten a week ago, but still showed he's more than capable of competing with the three-time state placewinner. But Barnes' spot in the final this week is far from a given if he has to wrestle Midd-West's Zach Heeter in the semifinals. Heeter is as tough as they come and shouldn't be a surprise if he ends up in the finals. Keep and ever on Central Columbia's Aaron Johnson and Montoursville's Garrett Hoffman, two wrestlers worthy of being in Hershey but stuck in a loaded weight class.
152: 1, Ryan Preisch, Milton; 2, Blake Marks, Southern Columbia; 3, Kyle Barnes, Hughesville; 4, Beau Fuller, Western Wayne.
Notable: Anybody else surprised by Blake Marks' fall over Kyle Barnes last week? Shouldn't be. Marks' only losses this year are to Ryan Preisch, Zain Retherford and Colt Cotten. Reaching the final last week put Marks in a good spot to reach the finals again this week as Barnes and Preisch will likely meet in the semifinals. That's a state finals-caliber match nobody should miss. Keep and eye on Troy's Nick Stephani as someone who can make a run at a top three finish.
160: 1, Ty Walter, Mifflinburg; 2, Jeric Kasunic, Benton; 3, Isaiah Bobotas, Montgomery; 4, T.J. Cistrunk, Meyers.
Notable: Ty Walter's finals win over Jeric Kasunic was impressive last week, showing how focused the Mifflinburg senior is on returning to the state podium. He'll likely get another shot at Kasunic this week. Montgomery's Isaiah Bobotas is clearly the third-best wrestler in this weight class and is a favorite to make his first trip to Hershey. Sayre's Kyle Post is a candidate to pull a big first-round upset over District 2 champion T.J. Cistrunk.
170: 1, Alex Lieberman, Midd-West; 2, Ben Minnich, North Penn; 3, Brandon Lontz, Benton; 4, Derek Dragon, Lake-Lehman.
Notable: I had devised a plan to allow my cats to pick how this bracket went because they'd have more luck than I could with as even as this weight class is. Any one of the five wrestlers from District 4 are a threat to win, including last week's fifth-place finisher Brandon Lontz. Alex Lieberman opened some eyes with his District 4 title last week and is the favorite to win again. Lake-Lehman sophomore Derek Dragon is absolutely a threat as the bracket's top seed, if he can get past Lontz.
182: 1, Troy Hembury, Muncy; 2, Garrett Moser, Warrior Run; 3, Garrett Wesneski, Canton; 4, Brady Butler, Lake-Lehman.
Notable: Take a moment this weekend to appreciate what you're watching when Troy Hembury takes the mat. He's a three-time District 4 champion, ranked second in the state working on becoming a three-time state placewinner who won his 160th career match last week. He's heads and shoulders above the rest of the 182-pound field, but a semifinal match against Canton's Garrett Wesneski might be the best push he has until he gets to Hershey.
195: 1, Ryan Solomon, Milton; 2, Conner Rosensweet, Western Wayne; 3, Skylar Ebner, Muncy; 4, Chad Daugherty, Wellsboro.
Notable: Ryan Solomon talked last week about cherishing every chance he gets to wrestle at Williamsport, fans should do the same thing this weekend. Solomon is ranked No. 1 in the country by The Open Mat and Amateur Wrestling News for good reason. Western Wayne's Conner Rosensweet is a force here and is one of District 2's top threats to get to Hershey. Keep an eye on 100-match winner Skylar Ebner and his left-handed headlock as he looks for his first trip to Hershey.
220: 1, Brandon Smith, Lewisburg; 2, Dylan Otis, Wyalusing; 3, Eric McCracken, Central Columbia; 4, Zac Faust, GAR.
Notable: Brandon Smith is looking for his first regional title and proved more than capable of winning it after taking his first District 4 title a week ago. The real question is if anyone in the state is capable of beating Smith before he runs into Saucon Valley's Ray O'Donnell in Hershey next week. Shamokin's Zach Biddiscombe put together a brilliant tournament last week at districts and Western Wayne's Austin Swoyer has 35 wins.
285: 1, Nazar Mironenko, Mifflinburg; 2, Alex Shiber, Central Columbia; 3, Jake Becker, Southern Columbia; 4, Nate Kriner, North Penn.
Notable: Nazar Mironenko showed he's more than healthy after a shoulder injury he suffered late in the regular season against Lewisburg's Brandon Smith. He cruised through the District 4 tournament. Central Columbia's Alex Shiber has put together a brilliant season at 37-2, but North Penn's Nate Kriner was a district runner-up last year and Southern Columbia's Jake Becker was third last week. It's a deep field especially when you add in the likes of Lake-Lehman's Dustin Jones and Montrose's John Shaffer.

Mountie charged with fraud, breach of trust
SPRUCE GROVE — A Mountie who was in command of the detachment in Mayerthorpe, Alta., on the day four officers were gunned down in 2005 faces unrelated criminal charges.
Sgt. Jim Martin of Spruce Grove, Alta., has been charged with two counts of fraud and two counts of breach of trust.
Martin is accused of using RCMP credit cards to buy personal items.
Insp. Gary Graham, Martin's detachment commander, said the charges against the 23-year veteran are tough on the RCMP community.
"You know we are frustrated and embarrassed because it is at two levels. He does have personal relationships with us, but he also has a public corporate relationship," Graham said Tuesday.
"These kind of allegations never sit well."
Martin has been suspended with pay pending resolution of the charges and faces an internal RCMP code of conduct investigation.
He was a corporal in charge of the Mayerthorpe detachment on March 3, 2005, when gunman James Roszko shot constables Peter Schiemann, Brock Myrol, Anthony Gordon and Leo Johnston. Roszko killed himself with his own gun after being wounded by another RCMP officer.
In 2011, Martin told an inquiry into the officers' deaths that the RCMP knew that Roszko had violent tendencies. He also testified that he had no reservations about deploying the four men to the remote farm where they were shot.
Graham said Martin was to be promoted to the rank of inspector and transferred to Vancouver Island to take command of the Port Alberni RCMP detachment. He is originally from Nanaimo, B.C..
Graham said the promotion and transfer have been cancelled.
"This is a member (who) up until this report ... really had been a member in good standing and someone well thought of in the organization."
Martin is to make his first appearance in Stony Plain provincial court Jan. 30.

MIDDLETOWN TWP. A decade after the Franklin Mint closed, its round museum building still sits vacant along busy Baltimore Pike in Delaware County.
Development of the prominent property has been plagued by opposition from residents, a slow economy, and - most recently - a legal battle among the developers.
But the plan took a step forward this week when a revised zoning ordinance won approval from the Middletown Township Council. The site, with more than 170 acres, could now have 350 townhouses, offices, retail space, and a hotel.
Its completion could take years. By that time, the site could become just one piece in a transformation of the heavily traveled Route 1 through Middletown.

Hi Rose,
Which Android tablet are you using?
I will investigate this with vimeo ( the company where we host the videos) .
They do have a free app in the Android App store (app is called vimeo) which should definitely let you play the files. Could you try that?
I will let you know what I find out about getting the videos to work directly in the browser on the android tablet.

and added with this, there you go, mp3 player!
and added with this, there you go, mp3 player!
I'm not a fan of Julia ZLOBINA/Alexei SITNIKOV, but I have to hand it to them, they often have music I really like: Pina this year, and their funny Borat from last season!
OK, now I really hope for some great performance and great marks for the dork
I forgot to switch to BEsp again! what's your best stream?
this one is really blurry http://www.cricfree.tv/euro-sports-2.php
I think Zhiganshina/Gazsi's FD fell flat. Great character at the start and end but empty in the middle (Averbukh's choreo for Lipnitskaia has the same problem), not a lot of transitions. Elements were ok (although twizzles a bit off as usual).
Z/G 3rd on TES so far but leading thank to highest PCS.
sick of Bond music and programs
the good thing with Z/G's twizzles is: you never need slow-motions! (boy, they even get slower over the years...)
that last lift looked really long, and I thought there was a turn missing... but I might have just thought that up
yeah, it's not as funny as their SD... would it "break the concept" to go back to their last year's zombie FD?
(I'm shocked how many skaters I'd love to see go back to an old program for Sochi! )
Shakira/Stagniunas sold the program well as usual with a lot of emotional involvement but it was a typically bland and generic Shpilband choreography. *yawn* A lot of skating side-by-side and apart as well.
Both Z/G and T/S benefitted a lot from the post-zamboni PCS bump, I think (or their past reputation).
I think that Z/G's issue is that the fd is too long for a concept they've already used in the sd, I got bored after the first 1-2 minutes.
I fear H/D will remain 11th
Gazsi joined the Sport 2 commentating booth, I think? He is completely fluent in Russian and has hardly any German accent! (ETA: I wait, it's Sinitsyn, I think )
Zlobina/Sitnikov skated ok, Shpilband helped them a lot on the elements. Last twizzle set was off-synch though. Program was a bit bland, their over-the-top expression wasn't drawn out enough, IMO.
I'm kinda disappointed with Z/S. Two years ago thay had an amazing fd, I had high expectations for them. These programs are just too bland.
none of you are watching b-esp via stream?

A child advocacy group is threatening to sue the California Department of Social Services to force the department to complete background checks before it clears people arrested for serious crimes to work in daycares, foster homes and elderly care facilities.
Watch report: New legislation drafted after KCRA's investigation into DSS
"The department is wrong," said Ed Howard, of the Children's Advocacy Institute. "The department is not required by law to clear these people to care for our most vulnerable citizens."
After seeing KCRA 3's initial investigation into the Department of Social Services and its background check policy, the institute -- based out of the University of San Diego's law school -- demanded the state change its practices immediately.
"It is the department that has chosen on its own to not investigate the backgrounds of the people who are caring for our children and our elderly," Howard said.
KCRA 3 revealed the department has given criminal clearances to more than 1,000 people working in daycares, foster homes and elderly care facilities before their background checks were completed.
Many of those people were arrested for felonies including rape, child abuse and molestation.
Even social services analysts came forward last week saying the policy was wrong.
"They shouldn't have been there in the first place -- not one day should they have been able to work in these facilities," Ruby Cornejo said.
Now, Assemblyman Brian Maeinshein, R-San Diego and a member of the Human Services committee, is working on legislation to force the department to change its policy -- if the department doesn't decide to act on its own.
"Obviously, the vast majority of people who work in this field are good and decent people; that's why they are attracted to this field," Maeinshein said. "But there is a significant percentage that are in an actual position to harm this vulnerable population."
Late Thursday afternoon, a department spokesman said Social Services plans on sticking with its current policy, and believes the policy is consistent with state law.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The U.S. government may be in for a diplomatic roller coaster ride with the Islamist-dominated Egyptian parliament.
Despite the Obama administration's statements on the close relationship between the two long-time allies, some fractures, albeit hairline, appear to be surfacing.
With Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafist al-Nour party holding 70 percent of the seats in the 508-member parliament, one thing is for certain: U.S.-Egyptian relations are transitioning.
On Sunday, the parliament considered a measure that would reject the $1.3 billion in annual aid by the United States. The measure came in response to calls in Congress to cut off the aid in view of criminal indictments issued against 16 Americans working for U.S.-backed NGOs in Cairo.
The Americans are among 43 foreign nationals accused of illegally using foreign funds to undergird anti-government activities.
In January, seven of the 16 Americans were prevented from boarding flights out of the country, some later took refuge in the American Embassy in Cairo. The other nine staffers had left before Egypt issued the indictments.
A few weeks ago, Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham met with Field Marshall Hussein Tantawi and other Egyptian government officials on the sidelines of a business conference in Cairo.
McCain later told the press Tantawi was "working very diligently to try to resolve the NGO issue," which he called "very important and delicate."
"We are confident that people of good faith in this country and our country and many others can and will find an acceptable resolution to the present situation," McCain told reporters at the time.
Eventually, the court allowed the Americans to leave after the U.S. State Department paid about $330,000 in bail per defendant, each one of whom signed a document agreeing to return for the trial.
Six of them left Egypt, while Robert Becker of the National Democratic Institute opted to remain there until the trial.Their departure sparked accusations in Egypt of kowtowing to U.S. pressure and interfering with the country's judiciary.
On Sunday, legislators called for a no-confidence vote against the ruling military government, saying the government should reflect the Islamist parliamentary majority.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which initially said it would not seek positions of leadership in the government, is calling for one of its members to be appointed prime minister.
Last week, Khairat el-Shater, deputy chairman of the Brotherhood, told al-Jazeera "we will not monopolize the government."

Dark ruby. Black and blue fruits on the powerful, smoky nose. Lush and seamless on the palate, offering juicy blackberry and cherry flavors complicated by notes of candied flowers and licorice. Soft tannins add shape to the finish, which is broad, sweet and impressively long. This wine is surprisingly approachable now but has good aging potential. Burgaud predicts that it will be at its best around 2016.

Victims of sexual assault in America's armed forces are demanding reform.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has ordered a review of the military's handling of rape cases after an Air Force general threw out the aggravated assault conviction of a pilot.
A bill has been introduced to strip commanders of the power to overturn verdicts or reduce sentences.
On Wednesday, military women and men shared their stories of abuse before a Senate panel. They testified the military's criminal justice system is broken -- and commanders often don't seem to care.
Brigett McCoy, a former Army specialist, testified that she was raped by her superior officer and she initially didn't report the assault.
"The year that I was raped, the same year I was raped again by another solider in my unit. Another year, I was sexually harassed by a commissioned officer in my unit," McCoy said.
Petty Officer Brian Lewis said he was serving in the Navy when a commanding officer sexually assaulted him.
He said an estimated 56 percent of sexual assault victims in the military are men.
"This is the part of the crisis that the Department of Defense does not acknowledge," Lewis testified.

Can a man ejaculate if he is castrated?
Answers: nope
nope. That's a big no.
Castration is the removal of the testicles... without them, no semen or ejaculate is produced.
Most of the society answering your question enjoy a vasectomy confused with castration.
With a vasectomy, you can still ejaculate. With a castration, you can not.
No, because the ball produce the sperm that should have come out. No, there's zilch to ejaculate from.
No, he doesn't have testicles If you suggest Snipped, Clipped or tied, then yes, they do. There is no Sperm surrounded by the ejaculate though.
yes. i got a vasectomy, which unsophisticatedly stops anything from the testicles. 85% of what you ejaculate is fluid OTHER than semen. so yes you will ejaculate, just lacking little spermies swimmin in the hose. there is also no switch in sex drive, or capability. Hardly dude!
Surgical castration, also called orchiectomy, involves the physical removal of the testicles, which produce 95 percent of a man's testosterone. However, the small amount still produced by the adrenal glands could be ample to allow some sexual function to remain. It may be possible for him to become aroused and even to ejaculate, although his erection may be modest and there won't be any sperm contained by his semen. Wow. The people answering this interview are stupid.
Yes, he will still be able to ejaculate. The semen in recent times will not contain any sperm.
10-30% of a man's semen is produced by the prostate. A further 65-75% of the volume comes from the seminal vesicles. Neither of these organs are removed or disconnected in a castration.
In other words, yes, he can.
My husband be castrated 15 years ago
He gets erect have better orgasms than before he be castrated and ejaculates newly like he did previously.
He would ejaculate every day beforehand.now it is 2 or 3 times a month.
The with the sole purpose change within him was his sex drive slowed channel down ..he reaches orgasm much slower and orgasm go lasts longer and is drastically intense like a feminine.
as a castrated man ..the answer is yes he can...and has for years

May 28, 2014
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 28, 2014 — A
preliminary report released today by the Department of Veterans Affairs Office
of the Inspector General confirms the existence and seemingly widespread use of
a second patient waiting list by the Phoenix VA Health Care System. The interim
report did not, however, indicate whether the delay in scheduling a primary
care appointment resulted in a delay in diagnosis or treatment of those who
allegedly died while on the waiting list. Those details are expected when the
final report is published in August.
"We call on VA Secretary Eric
Shinseki to immediately fire every employee and supervisor who knowingly gamed
the reporting system," demanded William A. Thien, national commander of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. "The VA is entrusted with the
care and treatment of our nation's heroes, and there are people in Phoenix and
possibly elsewhere who failed miserably, and quite possibly, criminally," he
said. "There are no second chances when you deal with people's lives, and that
includes everyone in senior leadership who should have known but didn't, or
knew but didn't care."
"Military veterans are used to
waiting in lines, but no veteran should ever have to wait for timely access to
care for their wounds, illnesses and injuries, said Thien. "In light of the
interim report, I want to make it clear to Secretary Shinseki that he needs to
move immediately to terminate the employment of those bearing any
responsibility for this travesty. And if the final IG report confirms willful
negligence, then those responsible need to be held accountable to the fullest
extent of the law. Anything less will not be tolerated by the VFW."
The VFW continues to support calls
for an independent review.

NAEYC Election Guidelines
NAEYC Board Member Election Procedure
Based on its commitment to equity in the election process, NAEYC provides a variety of mechanisms to assist members in making informed decisions when voting and for candidates to present relevant information to all members. In each mechanism, candidates determine which information they feel is relevant to their candidacy. All candidates for elected office, whether identified by the Nominating Committee or by petition are expected to comply with this procedure and the Election Campaign Guidelines.
Election Practices
(a) The slate of candidates for election will be presented to the membership at the Annual Conference in November, on the NAEYC website, and through electronic communications sent to all members. Official information shall be presented in a way that avoids preferential treatment of any one candidate.
(b) The final slate, including petitioned nominees, will be provided to all members, accompanied by written statements from each candidate.
(c) Petition candidates will be identified as such in all official information about the slate, and on the ballot.
NAEYC will regularly evaluate the official election activities regarding their effectiveness in promoting voter participation in the election process and helping members make informed decisions.
Election Campaign Guidelines for Affiliate Groups and Interest Forums
(a) Affiliate Groups and Interest Forums are expected to encourage their members to vote in the election.
(b) Affiliate Groups and Interest Forums are expected to limit the information they provide about candidates to official information provided by NAEYC unless specifically approved in writing by NAEYC.
(c) When Affiliate Groups or Interest Forums provide information about any candidate, they are expected to acknowledge all candidates equally.
Election Campaign Guidelines for Candidates
Acceptable practices
Candidates may:
- Network with professional colleagues via face-to-face meetings, one-to-one telephone calls, and electronic mailings/postings to encourage participation in the voting process and to inform them of their nominations and seek their support; and
- Participate in NAEYC planned or sanctioned activities provided to inform NAEYC members about all of the candidates.
Unacceptable practices
Candidates may not:
- With the exception of limited costs associated with the acceptable practices above (e.g., Internet access), make expenditures associated with their candidacy, including:
- Soliciting or accepting financial support from either individuals, professional associations, corporations, or employers; and
- Seeking or accepting an employer or corporate sponsorship that would distribute campaign items or mailings on a candidate's behalf.
- Produce and use campaign paraphernalia including, but not limited to: buttons, fliers, balloons, display booths, stickers, ribbons, or other give-aways.
- Seek or accept public "official" endorsement of, or financial contribution from, any NAEYC Affiliate, Interest Forum, committee, commission or council.
- Seek endorsement of their candidacy from members of the NAEYC Governing Board or NAEYC employees/staff in their official capacities.
- Run on a "ticket" (i.e. encouraging members to vote for individuals as a part of a slate).
Members of the NAEYC Nominating Committee shall remain neutral and non-partisan during the elections process. It is unacceptable for any NAEYC member to lobby a member of the Nominating Committee on behalf of themselves or other potential nominees. Any questions about these practices should be sent to email@example.com.
Communication of Election Results
The Board President will notify each candidate to inform her/him of the outcome of the election for that individual. After which, the Governing Board and the Nominating Committee will be notified of the full election results. All candidates will be notified in writing (electronically) of the election results and final vote counts. Final election counts may be released to any member upon receipt of written request.

Minnesota lawmakers will meet again Wednesday to try an settle disputes over the state budget and avoid a long-term government shutdown.
So far, neither side is budging on their requests on taxes and spending. After ending talks on Tuesday, lawmakers revealed no progress had been made.
Currently, Minnesota has a $5 billion budget deficit.
Republican lawmakers produced a budget that cuts spending to close the gap, but Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton wants to raise income taxes on the state's wealthiest residents.
GOP lawmakers are now trying to pass smaller budget bills to reopen parts of the state government -- which Dayton opposes.
Minnesota's state government shutdown started July 1.
The possibility of a long closure is raising the stakes for residents across Minnesota who rely on state money or programs, including new police hires.
Some have taken their case to the state supreme court. A state district judge ordered that programs essential to life, health and public safety continue during the shutdown. The high court will decide which programs qualify.

Leigh Scheps of Holmdel wants a career in media.
She has been working two freelance jobs but she hopes her big break comes via a full-time job in TV production or an editorial position in lifestyle magazines or websites.
What I do outside work: I love performing in musicals (will soon be in "Thoroughly Modern Millie" at Count Basie), seeing Broadway shows and taking dance classes. I have been dancing since I was 1½.
What I'm reading: "Hire me please, for Dummies"
My fantasy job: Lauren Glassberg's job on WABC-TV. She does it all -- entertainment and human interest reporting, plus the occasional anchoring.
Why you should hire me, in 25 words or less: I'm a go-getter who always makes sure to get the job not only done but done well, all while keeping a smile on my face.
March 2008-present: News 12. Freelance reporter for the Bronx and Brooklyn arm of the New York news channel.
Aug. 2008-present: Living In Media. Freelance reporter for the Monmouth County-based luxury magazine network.
I have a strong work ethic, learn quickly and am extremely driven and personable. In addition, I am very energetic and passionate about my professional endeavors.
Reporting the news on Fox News and News 12. Feel free to YouTube me.

There are usually more job applicants than jobs in this field. However, persistence is the key to getting hired. The economic situation does affect media jobs, however, and cuts may come due to reductions in advertising revenue. Leigh should decide if she wants to be in front of the cameras, or go into production. She'll also have more of an opportunity with local news stations, so she should focus on those opportunities.
Leigh's resume is easy to read and uncluttered, although there are some redundancies. It also isn't clear what type of job she wants to obtain. Though she has very light work experience, her resume has a professional appearance.
• All of the descriptions should be in past tense. Leigh has too many section headings, and it's hard to know what is important and what really isn't. If someone is quickly looking at her resume, they won't take the time to read every section. The "Objective" section doesn't add any useful information. A heading using the job title she wishes to obtain would be a better use of the space.
• Leigh should combine the "Qualifications Profile," "Assistance" and "Key Strengths" sections into one "Summary" section. As it is right now, the information is redundant and doesn't give any important insights.
• Instead of just listing her job duties and responsibilities, it would help to know more about what specific news stories she worked on. In addition, she should say how her work was helpful for her employer. Right now, nothing jumps out to say she would be a better hire than a person with a similar background.
• Leigh mentions "One Man Band" techniques in her first job description. Is this a reference that people in the media would know about? Otherwise it isn't clear. It's possible that the resume may be seen by a screener first, and if they are not familiar with the terminology she's using then they won't know what she's referring to.
• In the "Professional Organizations" section she mentions "RTNDA" and it's not clear what that abbreviation means. Has she held any positions in the New York Women in Communications organization or participated in any groups? If so, it would be important to show her involvement in media-related activities.
• It's very important to use keywords and make sure accomplishments and skills are in line with the job requirements. The "Technical Skills" section appears to do a good job of listing important software and production skills. Writing skills, however, don't seem to be mentioned as often, and that is probably a key skill for the media field. Leigh should mention more of the important skills, such as writing and researching, to make her stand out as a job applicant.
How it works: You need a job. We want to help. Hire Me is an opportunity to make your pitch. E-mail your resume (as a Word attachment) to firstname.lastname@example.com. If selected, we will forward your resume to an expert for advice and feature it here.
Employers: If you'd like to contact a candidate featured in this
column, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Like, you arent homophobic, homophobic is being afraid of being hit on by gays and **** like this. Throwing up isn't fear, its kind of you know, being a retarded asshole that dislikes something. dislike ≠ fear fear=dislike though. Its like how a rectangle is not a square. You don't have a fear, you have a dislike, a square if you will.

MALE SEXUAL quality-of-life issues became the leitmotif of the 13th Congress of the European Association of Urology (EAU) as urologists presented new data on the diagnosis and management of a spectrum of urologic disorders that increasingly trouble aging men in Western society.
In Barcelona, Spain, more than 7000 urologists representing 72 countries gathered this spring for the congress, the largest urologic meeting ever held in Europe. Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of male erectile dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer were examined through a new emphasis on quality-of-life considerations that will continue to prevail in the future, said John Fitzpatrick, MD, professor of surgery and urology at University College, Dublin, Ireland. "In the past, urologists and physicians have not paid much attention to sexual quality-of-life issues, and we have only recently become aware of the complexity of sexual dysfunction," he said.

Circulating cancer cells can also return to and grow in their tumor of origin, according to researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. They call this process self-seeding and believe that it sheds light on clinical observations such as the relationship between the tumor size, prognosis, and local relapse following seemingly complete removal of a primary breast tumor.
"We know there is an association between large tumor size and poor prognosis," points out study co-author Larry Norton, M.D., deputy physician-in-chief for breast cancer programs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. "This was always thought to reflect the ability of larger cancers to release more cells with metastatic potential. But this association may actually be caused by the ability of aggressive cancer cells to self-seed, promoting both local tumor growth and distant metastases by similar mechanisms."
The research titled "Tumor self-seeding by circulating cancer cells" was published in the December 25 issue of Cell.
According to the study conducted in mice, self-seeding involves two distinct functions: the ability of a tumor to attract its own circulating progeny and the ability of circulating tumor cells to re-infiltrate the tumor in response to this attraction. The investigators identified four factors that are responsible for executing these functions: cytokines IL-6 and IL-8, which attract the most aggressive segment of the circulating tumor cell population, and MMP1/collagenase-1 and the actin cytoskeleton component fascin-1, which mediate the infiltration of circulating tumor cells into a tumor.
They also showed that self-seeding can accelerate tumor growth, angiogenesis, and stromal recruitment through seed-derived factors like the chemokine CXCL1.
The study also found that circulating breast cancer cells that are capable of self-seeding a breast tumor have a similar gene-expression pattern to breast cancer cells that are capable of spreading to the lungs, bones, and brain. Thus there is an increased potential to metastasize to these organs. Additional experiments revealed that self-seeding can occur in cancer cells of various tumor types besides breast cancer, including colon cancer and melanoma.
"These results provide us with opportunities to explore new targeted therapies that may interfere with the self-seeding process and perhaps slow or even prevent tumor progression," says the study's senior author, Joan Massagu, Ph.D., chair of the cancer biology and genetics program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.

OCLC-MARC Record Delivery
Transfer or import WorldCat records into a local system
A variety of WorldCat services generate bibliographic records in OCLC-MARC format. OCLC makes copies of these records available for you to import to your local system to keep your local holdings in synch with your holdings in WorldCat. Downloading records on a regular basis makes it easier for your systems staff to manage and upload them into your OPAC.
Three ways to get records
Export is the immediate transfer of a locally-edited record into your OPAC.
EDX (Electronic Data Exchange) allows you to concatenate and download multiple files simultaneously using Internet FTP.
Product Services (PSWeb) is a Web-based interface that provides download access (HTTP protocol) not only for your files of OCLC-MARC records, but also for reports and statistics for OCLC services you use.
OCLC products or service options that provide OCLC-MARC records
|Generated records
|Delivery options
|Connexion and CatExpress
|Allows you to immediately load edited records into your local system from Connexion browser, Connexion client and CatExpress. OCLC-MARC bibliographic records are produced when you send an Export command.
Or, through a simple OCLC-MARC Record Subscription, you can download files of your edited cataloging records on a scheduled basis. Records are produced when you send an Update, Replace & Update, Produce & Update, or Delete Holdings command. If you are part of a consortium, multi-institution subscriptions are available.
|Immediate (Export)Or,
as MARC subscription files:
|Receive files of matched OCLC records or unmatched subsets of the files you sent for processing.
|By project
|Cataloging Partners
|OCLC works with many of your favorite materials vendors, publishers and importers to provide manually-edited full MARC records for each title you order from the vendor's active title list. Each record is customized to your local standards and edited by OCLC Contract Cataloging staff.
|By order
|Bibliographic Record Snapshot
|Whether your local system becomes corrupted or you inherit another library's collection, OCLC can supply OCLC-MARC records and local data for your holdings through bibliographic record snapshot. You may request a subset of your records within a date range or by specific holding library codes.
|By order
|WorldCat Collection Sets
|Sets of MARC records to coincide with sets of microform and electronic content, ready to load into your local catalog. Various record processing options are available, including adding fields, deleting fields and customizing call numbers (available for most sets).
|By order
