'Down' to business
In the market for a warm puffer coat minus the Michelin Man look? The Style pages of the January issue of Better Homes and Gardens suggest choosing a coat with one of the following features:
• A furry hood to draw attention to your face.
• A belt to accentuate your waist.
• Or, diagonal stitching to "whittle your middle."
Organizing tip No. 1
Clearing the clutter is a hot topic come cold January, and sometimes it's the kids' stuff that needs the most attention. Here is one tip from HGTV that might help: Look for colorful boxes (photo storage boxes, etc.) from craft stores or other retailers. The boxes are easy to stack and handy for storing small toys, hair accessories, craft supplies and more.
Let the kids pick out colors that appeal to them. Then label each box with its contents – and hope for the best!
Organizing tip No. 2
Dreams of a neater January remind us of this timeless approach to day-to-day living by cleaning expert/author Don Aslett, in an excerpt:
"If you open it, close it. If you turn it on, turn it off. If you unlock it, lock it. If you borrow it, return it. If you're done with it, put it back. If you make a mess, clean it up. If you don't know where it goes, ask!"
Trend watch
Honey-tone woods are a home trend Elle Decor highlights for 2014. "Maybe as a reaction to all the dark wenge and other woods we've been seeing in furniture for so long, lighter, honey-color woods such as walnut, oak, and cherry are looking fresh," notes Michael Boodro, on www.elledecor.com.
And finally …
"I have a thing for Lorna Doone cookies, a kind of love affair going on with them. Even if I'm full, I need to have at least five Lorna Doone cookies, which is not cool, but I've got to have them."
Mary J. Blige, singer- songwriter, on the topic of indulgence in WSJ, the Wall Street Journal magazine.

EDISON – When Mayor Antonia Ricigliano first moved to Edison in 1961, the population was just shy of 30,000. All the town needed, she said, was a part-timer as chief executive.
Fast forward 50 years: The headcount is now over six figures, the budget tops $120 million and she works full-time as the top administrator in the fifth-biggest town in the state. That could change if the Town Council passes a new law in the near future to allow people with other jobs to serve as mayor.
"I think it's a mistake," Ricigliano said. "We cannot go back to the 1960s. We're just not that community any longer."
It's not clear how the move to allow people with other employment to serve as mayor would affect salary and benefits. Ricigliano gets an annual salary, meaning that she makes $49,000, whether she works 40 hours a week or 12 hours a day. It's usually the latter, she said. Council President Robert Diehl said decisions about salary and benefits could be made on a case-by-case, candidate-by-candidate basis.
But the political implications are clear: The move could mean more candidates eligible to take on Ricigliano in a June Democratic primary. Several members of the council – who, unlike the mayor, are allowed to have other jobs – are said to be interested in challenging her. Ricigliano's administration and the Town Council have had an often contentious relationship.
Diehl said that the move wouldn't necessarily force candidates to only work part-time. They could still work full-time if they want. The goal, he said, is to open up the candidate pool for those who want to structure the job differently.

Amarillo Globe-News--> Today's Photos
Jennifer Aniston from the cast of "Friends" is shown May 5, 2002, at New York's Rockefeller Center. A federal judge rejected Jennifer Aniston's request for a jury trial in her lawsuit against the publishers of two magazines that featured a photo of her sunbathing topless in her backyard. U.S. District Judge Ronald S. Lew said Monday, June 24, 2002, in Los Angeles that her lawyers had not properly made a jury demand under California law. The trial is set to begin July 2 on Aniston's suit against Man's World Publications Inc. and Crescent Publishing Group claiming that a ``stalkerazzi'' with a telephoto lens scaled a neighbor's wall to take shots of her ``reclining topless in her backyard," according to her attorney.

The Saline Area Schools notified district families by e-mail Monday night that a student has tested positive for the influenza A (H1N1) virus, also know as swine flu.
The e-mail said the student has recovered and is back in school.
The e-mail also said the district has been monitoring the level of illness in the district and that it does not appear to be unusual.
The Michigan Department of Community Health reported on its Web site that as of 2 p.m. Monday, Washtenaw County had 24 confirmed cases of swine flu. Livingston County had 12, and the state had 273 confirmed cases.
The Centers for Disease Control has determined that swine flu is milder than initially feared. As a result, health officials are testing to confirm swine flu only in cases considered high risk.

You must have asked yourself many times, how to survive when there are financial problems, and how to get your head above water, and keep it there.
Positive thinking and visualization are a good solution, but the problem is that when you are in financial problems, and when there is a shortage of money, it is not so easy to think positively. Worries keep popping up, especially when you see the bills in front of you.
The solution is of course to be alert, and constantly, day after day, replace your worries and negative thinking with positive thinking.
Better still, to teach yourself positive thinking during the goods times, when it is easier to think positively, and much better it is, to learn and train yourself from an early age, but this is not always practical or possible.
How to get your head above water and keep it there?
A visitor to the website asked:
"It feels like my life has been on a downward spiral. I struggle to keep my head above water financially, and just as things seem to get back in line something else happens.
I realize that the most obvious answer is to stop worrying… but it's not that easy when you see the bills in front of you, and you have no idea how to cover them."

No. It just means you need to remove the DLV/DS entries

James Marsden Shows Off His 'Straw Dogs' Jazz Hands
James Marsden stepped into big shoes when he took on the role of David Sumner in director Rod Lurie's Straw Dogs remake—the original 1971 character was played by Dustin Hoffman. Thankfully, that didn't make him any less confident or excited to tackle the part.
The actor, whose diverse career includes everything from X-Men to Enchanted to Sex Drive, saw plenty of room to play with the morally ambiguous characters at the center of the grisly revenge tale and saw the remake as an opportunity. I sat down with Marsden to talk Straw Dogs, how he approached the modern interpretation, what it was like working with Kate Bosworth for a second time and, of course, jazz hands. Always bring up jazz hands.

Part of being an advocate for local hunger issues is staying current with all the organizations that are in the same business. Philabundance.org is the hunger relief organization that fights hunger and malnutrition across nine counties in the Delaware Valley, so they are a go-to web resource for me. A couple of weeks ago I saw that they were running a "Spread the LOVE Peanut Butter" recipe contest as a way to raise awareness for a very important staple that is always in need at all food pantries. Because I am often called the "Peanut Butter Lady" I couldn't help but enter – and I am no cook, my family will attest to it. So I entered the contest with my favorite "LOVE" food – grilled peanut butter sandwich.
When I was in my young teen years, my dearest pals, Nell and Gail and I would congregate in Nell's kitchen, where she introduced us to her Dad's easy treat – the grilled peanut butter sandwich. To this day that sandwich smells and tastes like LOVE to me, because of the love I have for my dear friends (still together after all these years!) and the yummy goodness of the warmed up PB. Little did I know then that I would start the Peanut Butter Project to fight hunger in our community. Little did I know then that one of the three of us had suffered from food insufficiency and hunger.
Anyone who eats (and that is all of us) has foods that say LOVE. Memories are triggered when we dip into Mom's famous lasagna or Dad's homemade authentic clam chowder, or whatever the comfort food is that takes you to that place. But one of the consequences of food insufficiency and hunger may very well be a lack of that feeling – that someone loves you enough to make this food for you, to have the kitchen all warm and cozy and smelling good when you come home. Can you imagine what it might feel like to open the door to an empty refrigerator, a cold stove, or a meal that is basically a pop top can and a spoon? This lack of confidence in being fed can destroy a person's ability to trust and know that they are cared for, that they are important, that they are LOVED.
I was shocked that my very simple recipe was chosen as a finalist in the contest – which is being played out on Facebook and in social media this week – so I jumped into Peanut Butter Project mode and contacted as many people as I could, asking them to go to Philabundance.org's Facebook page and comment on my recipe. I quickly learned how to "pin" on Pinterest; I shot photos of my star recipe on Instagram, and I tweeted on Twitter. I'm about as good at social media as I am at cooking – but I'll do anything to shine a light on the need for more action and support for those in our community who are struggling to feed their families. If you are so inclined – please help – but more importantly, please think about what LOVE has to do with it – if food memories are meaningful to you, can you Spread the LOVE – and give a jar of peanut butter to your local food pantry? Please? And by the way – I hope I win the contest, so I can continue to "Spread the LOVE" through Peanut Butter Project.

Ladies hit the diamond
By CHRIS EDENS
Sports Editor
The Lady Mustang softball team has been warming up in pre-season scrimmages.
Oologah started practice the first week in July and the Lady Mustangs have already played three scrimmages. Oologah head coach Kerry Hallman said his young team will need to improve quickly.
"We're going to be very young. We have a lot of talent but it's going to be a learning process at the beginning of the season," Hallman said. "Having a lot of young girls will help in the future."
There are only four seniors on this year's roster and few returning starters. Senior catcher Jayci Wang is out with a knee injury.
"Hopefully we'll get her back in the next few weeks. We can use Jayci on the mound and we're definitely missing her bat right now," coach Hallman said.
Hallman has added three transfer students to his lineup. Junior Emma Cooper and sophomore Libby Maples will handle most of the pitching duties and freshmen Madison Neal is getting time behind the plate in Wang's absence.
Despite having a young squad, Hallman's goals for the season haven't changed. He said the first goal is a 20 win season. He also wants district and regional championships and a spot at the state tournament.
"We need to play solid defense and we need some timely hitting. With Cooper and Maples on the mound we've got a chance to compete," Hallman said.
Oologah opens the season Aug. 11 at 5A Claremore. The Lady Mustangs will face talented teams the first two weeks at the Wyandotte Festival, Cushing Tournament and the RSU Festival.
"I've always believed a tough schedule prepares you for the playoffs. Claremore is a tough opener and Hilldale, Berryhill and Mannford will be good again this year," Hallman said. "We want to repeat as regional champions and get back to the state tournament for the fifth year in a row."

A full-time, three year (or part-time, five year) research programme.
The degree is normally taken over three years full-time or five years part-time, followed by a period of 'writing up' status.
The student will be expected to undertake a research project under the supervision of at least one member of the Institute's academic staff. The nature of the project can be defined by either the academic supervisor or by the applicant, depending on both availability and method of funding.
The research project must be discussed and arranged with the Graduate Tutor. A range of projects suitable for study are available.
Entry requirements
Applicants must meet UCL's general entry requirements for MPhil/PhD.
As with all UCL PhD
programmes, the student will initially enrol for an MPhil. After 9-15
months of research, the student will be expected undertake an upgrade
procedure to transfer from MPhil to PhD.
Tuition Fees
The latest tuition fee information can be found on the UCL
Funding and scholarships
Some projects offered for PhD are already funded and studentships will be advertised both on the main Research page and on the UCL jobs website.
UCL also offers a number of scholarships each year, including Graduate Research Scholarships and Overseas Research Scholarships, which cover all or part of the graduate student fees. Details of these scholarships and useful links to other sources of funding can be found on the UCL scholarships and funding webpages.
Career prospects
Recent graduates have either continued on an academic career pathway by obtaining research or academic positions at leading universities, or have entered managerial or research positions in the health service, government or industry.
Being a part of UCL improves graduates employability with industrial companies from the pharmaceutical sector in particular, and due to the reputation of the Institute graduates are sought after in the field of dentistry worldwide.
Networking opportunities
Students are encouraged to attend and contribute to conferences in the UK and internationally. Each year, the Institute allocates a sum of money for the purpose of supporting those who wish to travel to a conference or comparable event, either in the UK or overseas, in order to present a paper or poster based on their work. The Institute also hosts a variety of speakers throughout the year and all our students are encouraged to attend these talks and network with their peers.

• This study explored the relationships between plasma levels and the clinical effects of haloperidol in 176 acutely exacerbated schizophrenic or schizoaffective patients. After a single-blind placebo period of 1 week (period 1), they entered the double-blind period 2 randomly assigned to one of three plasma levels of haloperidol: low (2 to 13 ng/mL), medium (13.1 to 24 ng/mL), or high (24.1 to 35 ng/mL). Patients whose conditions did not improve in period 2 continued on one of the three haloperidol levels (period 3). Periods 2 and 3 lasted 6 weeks each. Only minor differences in clinical responses were noted among the three levels of haloperidol. These results imply that low or moderate doses of neuroleptics are appropriate for many acutely psychotic patients.

Still, there is a downside to all this globetrotting.
"After the flight from Europe," Jolie told the German edition of Vanity Fair, "we were all suffering a bit from jetlag. Although we went to bed early, [the kids] were up at 4:30 a.m. goofing around."
After moving their brood from a chateau in the south of France to a palace in a park in Berlin, the family landed in New York last week for the premiere of her movie Changeling – then jetted back to France Wednesday.
Jolie, 33, admits to having an expert travel arranger: "Brad took care of things. He just said, 'Go back to sleep, you have to work tomorrow,' and then went to the living room with the kids. He's an amazing father: totally devoted."
The Challenge of TwinsJolie calls caring for twins a challenge. "We're exhausted a lot, because it's twice as hard with two babies than with one," she says. "But it's twice as much fun, too."
That means watching them interact. "When you look at them, it's like they were made for each other," she explains. "They smile at each other, sniff each other, touch each other. It's just beautiful."
Even at their tender ages, they are each displaying distinct temperaments. "They're totally sweet. They already have completely different personalities. Knox is more the quiet one, very relaxed, while Viv is a little more aggressive and loud," she says.
And as for the inevitable question, "It's funny," Jolie admits, "Knox looks more like Brad and Viv more like me."

While it's not a done deal just yet, consumer packaging specialist Sonoco (NYSE: SON ) announced yesterday it will consult with the workforce of its Carrickmacross, Ireland, facility regarding its closure come Nov. 1.
The plant, which makes thermoformed packages for food processors in Ireland and other parts of Europe, lost volume and profitability over the past several years, a pattern that continues in 2013. Sonoco says that leaves it with no viable option other than to consider closing the facility.
Saying it's not a reflection on the levels of commitment, safety, quality, and productivity of the workers, Jeff DiPasquale, Sonoco VP and GM of thermoforming, said shifting market conditions and a financially challenging competitive environment forced its hand in the decision.
"If a shut-down of the facility is the final outcome," DiPasquale said, "we will work diligently to ensure the closing of the Carrickmacross facility goes as smoothly as possible, not only for our employees, but also for our loyal customers, with minimal disruption to the quality and service they have come to expect."
In the event the plant does shut down, Sonoco expects the layoffs won't begin until October, after which it will gradually scale back operations. The target for the plant closure is Nov. 1, but until the final decision is reached, operations will continue as normal.
Should closure be the decision made, Sonoco will consider alternatives such as retirement, voluntary redundancies, and possible redeployment to other Sonoco operations to help minimize the impact.

Impose tougher penalties on criminals using guns
Gun control is a major issue for both law-abiding citizens and politicians. It could bring down people in office and/or put people in jail who otherwise wouldn't, or shouldn't, be there. The problem is the real problem is not being addressed. And that is the criminal.
There are more than enough gun laws now that are respected by law-abiding gun owners. The criminals couldn't care less about laws because it's their job to ignore them anyway. Let's do something a bit different with the laws. How about mandatory prison time of five years for anyone using a firearm during the commission of any crime, regardless of the person's past record or convictions? This prison time should be added to the sentence imposed for the crime itself.
Also, on the issue of magazine capacity, a sentence added to the possession of a firearm should include one year for each round that firearm has the capacity of at the time of the crime. If the magazine holds 20 rounds, that would be an additional 20 years.
This type of gun control, I'm sure, would be accepted by the National Rifle Association and all other affiliations concerned about the Second Amendment and the Constitution. It would put the politicians in the limelight and put the ball in the criminals' court for a change, and leave those who enjoy shooting for a sport and abide by the laws of this country at ease. If this idea is considered, Homeland Security wouldn't have to buy up all the ammunition and we could save some tax money.

Second Ashes Test: Day One in Adelaide
Follow Grandstand's live blog of day one the second Ashes Test between Australia and England at the Adelaide Oval.
That concludes our coverage for the first day of an already enthralling second Ashes Test. We will have Cameron Leslie's full wrap of the day, as well as Grandstand at Stumps and the photo gallery up online for you very soon.I'll be back in the chair tomorrow, ready to let rip for day two. Thanks a bunch of sticking with us today, it's been a pleasure. This is James Maasdorp, signing off.
AND THAT'S STUMPS. AUSTRALIA 5 FOR 273 (Clarke 48*, Haddin 7*)I would argue that was England's day by a nose. On a batsman's pitch, England restricted Australia to a run-rate of exactly 3.00 an over, and took a few more wickets than were expected on the Adelaide Oval drop-in.Had George Bailey (53) not succumbed to a brilliant Graeme Swann catch at the death, it may have marginally been Australia's day, but a disciplined bowling effort from Stuart Broad (2 for 63), Swann (1 for 55) and Monty Panesar (1 for 68) frustrated the Australians in patches.Chris Rogers (72), Shane Watson (51) and Bailey all made solid starts and looked primed for big knocks - as did David Warner before he fell for 29. But all were dismissed just as they looked in good form, with several batsmen falling to silly shots.Michael Clarke is not out on 48, and is Australia's main hope for a big score alongside Brad Haddin (7 not out), who escaped late on day one thanks to Michael Carberry dropping a regulation catch at point.
Chris Rogers is having a chat with Grandstand's Peter Walsh.The wicket's probably harder to bat on than we originally thought. We're in an okay position.It was okay early. It played pretty true, but then towards the back end of Shane [Watson] and my partnership, it just started to do a few things with some reverse swing and a few tricks. Hopefully it breaks up a bit as the match wears on.The one that got me spun a lot more than I expected it to. They got a couple of balls to turn which is surprising on day one, but that's what you have to put up with in Test cricket.We bat well together. He's a tall, elegant right hander and I'm a short ugly left hander. But him getting out and then me was a bit criminal and disappointing for the side.We'll have the audio from that interview online shortly.
AUS 5-268 (Clarke 44, Haddin 6)A single to Clarke off Broad from a mis-timed pull shot, bunting it straight down into the ground, but there's enough on it to find the gap.Haddin follows up with a hook shot for one, playing off another Broad bouncer as the pair swap sides.
AUS 5-266 (Clarke 43, Haddin 5)AAP: Dave Hunt
DROPPED! Haddin cuts hard off a short Panesar delivery and Carberry has dropped a SITTER. It's smacked straight to point, but it's popped out of his hands and his sprawling dive to make amends only sees him fumble it again.That is an absolute life for Haddin.
AUS 5-265 (Clarke 42, Haddin 5)Broad to Haddin, who PULLS TO MIDWICKET! "Perilously close," quips Jonathan Agnew, but it gets past the fielder and Haddin gets two.BIG APPEAL! Broad's caught Haddin on the back pad and they're asking for LBW! Umpire says no but Cook has decided to refer this!OH! Hawkeye says it was only just over the wickets! It was in line, pitching in the right area, but the bounce really took off on the projection and Haddin is safe!
AUS 5-263 (Clarke 42, Haddin 3)Single to Clarke off Panesar - he cuts it past point as the sweeper mops up. Haddin follows up with a run of his own thanks to a thick edge past gully.Now Clarke plays it to Kevin Pietersen at deep mid-wicket. KP slides in with the dive but misfields, and Clarke will get back home for a second.
OUT! BAILEY IS GONE FOR 53! CAUGHT SWANN, BOWLED BROAD. AUS 5-257 (Clarke 39*)Getty Images: Robert CianfloneBrilliantly caught! Broad goes short to Bailey who pulls hard, only to force an outstanding, diving catch from Graeme Swann at backward square leg! Sensational, upward dive for Swann to pouch that two-handed.Bailey will be kicking himself. One, he hasn't gone on to make a really big score. Secondly, he's lost his wicket just before stumps.Brad Haddin comes in to partner Clarke.
FIFTY FOR BAILEY! 4x4s, 3x6s, 80 BALLS. AUSTRALIA 4-255 (Clarke 38*)Getty Images: Robert Cianflone
SIX!!! What a way to reach your maiden Test half-century! Broad pitches it short and George Bailey is on it like a rash. Big hook shot on the pivot, and it's sailed over square leg for maximum runs! Take a bow.
AUS 4-249 (Clarke 38, Bailey 46)James Andersen is back into the attack with the new ball in hand.He pitches it short outside off stump, and Clarke leans back to guide it wide of gully towards third man. That's two runs for Clarke.FOUR! Beautiful leg glance from Clarke! He's whipped Anderson off his pads with tremendous timing. That rocketed away to the mid-wicket rope.
AUS 4-243 (Clarke 32, Bailey 46)SIX! Bailey adjusts his stance to a fuller Monty Panesar delivery, and hit a beauty of a straight drive. That ball is over long-off, and long gone!Both batsmen exchange singles to close out a useful over, with Bailey eyeing a maiden Test half-century.
AUS 4-235 (Clarke 31, Bailey 39)Clarke whips Swann off his pads for a single.That run puts Bailey on strike, who charges down the pitch and hoists Swann over his head for a lofted straight drive to long-off! Four runs!Bailey clips one to square leg to rotate the strike.
AUS 4-225 (Clarke 30, Bailey 30)Swann with the first over after drinks. He pitches short, Bailey cuts and gets it past Carberry! Unusual mistake from one of England's better fielders. Bailey gets one.That's too short from Swann, and Clarke pulls. Panesar at deep square leg will collect, and those two runs bring up the fifty partnership between these two batsmen.
AUS 4-222 (Clarke 28, Bailey 29)Misfield! Clarke will get three runs thanks to overthrows! He pushes to Michael Carberry at cover, who has a shy at the non-striker's end (the run-out was hardly on), and concedes two more overthrows. Sloppy.One run to Bailey, who pulls a short Stokes delivery to square leg.Quick drinks break. Shan't be long.
AUS 4-216 (Clarke 24, Bailey 27)Ben Stokes is back into the attack.Bailey has a nibble! Stokes sends it shorter and wider of the offstump and Bailey can't resist trying a cut! It's a play-and-miss and very close to an edge.Now the batsmen swap sides with a scampered run as Bailey plays it to the offside infielder.
AUS 4-215 (Clarke 23, Bailey 25)Trouble here! Bailey hits it hard and straight, and it's hit the stumps off Swann's hand! Was Clarke safe? The third umpire is being called into action, here.Clarke's bat is .... just down, safe and over the line. I tell you what, though. That was a close thing. Clarke survives.Now Swann floats it towards Bailey, who advances down the pitch and looks to punch it to long-on, but it ricochets off Clarke to confuse the mid-off fielder. The batsmen decline the run.And another chance! Bailey edges it behind the stumps but gets away with it for a cheeky single!Clarke and Bailey exchange singles to close out the over.ABC: Brett Williamson
AUS 4-212 (Clarke 23, Bailey 24)Bailey pulls Broad for a single to square leg, before Clarke works the paceman to backward point for another quick run.The wind has picked up a few knots with the Adelaide Oval flags resplendent and rippling.Broad pitches it short to Bailey, who dabs it to mid-wicket for another single.
AUS 4-209 (Clarke 22, Bailey 22)Swann to Clarke, who double steps and goes for the on-drive! It's just wide of the diving mid-wicket fielder and Clarke gets two runs.Oh! Replays show he did get a hand on that! That will go down as a missed chance.Two more runs for Clarke - turned behind fine leg for a couple.
AUS 4-205 (Clarke 18, Bailey 22)Swann has replaced Panesar and conceded two singles in his first over back.Broad, meanwhile, continues from the other end to Bailey. Apart from one ball that was full and saw Bailey looking to drive, it's a tight set of six from Broad who chalks up another maiden.
AUS 4-202 (Clarke 16, Bailey 21)Getty Images: Gareth CopleySIX RUNS! That's a neat way to bring up the team's 200. Panesar floats one in and Bailey's onto it in a flash! Dances down the wicket and sends a slog straight drive flying over Panesar's head and into the sightscreen. Boom.That's professional from Bailey. A big six, then a single immediately after to rotate the strike. Clarke now looks to punch Panesar with a cut onto the off side. The point fielder gets a hand on
AUS 4-194 (Clarke 15, Bailey 14)Bailey kept the strike with a single to end Panesar's over.APPEAL FOR AN EDGE! That's a brilliant ball from Stuart Broad to Bailey, and it's just shaved past the bat's edge! That was close! Snicko confirms the ball went through cleanly, but only just.Bailey responds with an on-drive to long-on that's reasonably well timed. It yields three runs.
AUS 4-190 (Clarke 15, Bailey 10)DROPPED! Panesar sends one down to Bailey, who returns to sender, and Panesar has spilled a caught-and-bowled change! It came back to him around shin height s and to his right, but he fumbled the chance despite getting both hands to it.
Earlier, we asked who you thought was on top at tea. Here are the best of your thoughts:So who's in charge at tea on day one? England or Australia? Best tweets will be featured on the #Ashes blog ab.co/18Dlomv #cricket@abcgrandstand England. This deck won't play better than it is now. Par has to be at least 400, and perhaps 450@abcgrandstand This is an absolute belter for batting, masterstroke to play 2 spinners tho! England a LONG way ahead. 500 a must!!England have the momentum so right now they are on top @abcgrandstand@abcgrandstand Eng are miles ahead, they will not let the opportunity slip and will dispose of a very weak Aussie side
AUS 4-185 (Clarke 14, Bailey 6)FOUR! Lovely timing from Clarke, who places a firm leg glance off his pads to knock Anderson's delivery through to the midwicket rope.Now Clarke plays into the offside and dashes off for a quick single! Bailey will have to hurry! The throw comes in but misses the stumps and the backing-up fielder just about does enough to prevent overthrows.
AND THAT'S TEA. AUSTRALIA 4-174 (Clarke 9*)About three-quarters of the way through the second session, Australia dominated after lunch. Shane Watson (51) and Chris Rogers (72) looked settled, patient, and were punishing bad balls.Then all of a sudden, both batsmen were out in quick succession. Michael Clarke (9 not out) and Steven Smith (6) found themselves both at the crease without runs on the board, and the runs dried up.Some stylish Clarke shots saw a few boundaries flow, but Monty Panesar then removed Smith with a pearler. So after Australia dominated the majority of the session, we could borrow a football term and say England have scored a last-minute equaliser in Adelaide.We'll be back soon for day one's final session.
OUT! SMITH IS GONE FOR 6! BOWLED BY PANESAR! AUS 4-174 (Clarke 9*)Getty Images: Ryan PierseClean bowled! Steven Smith has absolutely misread Monty Panesar's delivery and missed the shot entirely.

1. Train your cat to respond to your voice. Call your cat at feeding and play times. Praise and pet it for coming when called and soon your cat will associate your call with good times.
2. Buy proper equipment. Choose an adjustable harness that fits snugly. Then, select a 4-foot-long leash to attach to the harness. Finally, buy a separate collar with an identification tag, in case your cat gets loose.
3. Introduce your cat to its gear. Allow your cat to gradually become familiar with the smell of the harness, leash and collar.
4. Put the harness on the cat. Don't force your cat to wear the harness; ensure you cat associates it with pleasure. For the first time, only put the harness on your cat for 30 seconds and remove it three or four times. Give long breaks between sessions to get used to getting in and out of the harness.
5. Let your cat drag the leash. Fasten the leash to the harness and let your cat get used to the weight. Stand on the opposite side of the room and call your cat. After a few days, when it comes consistently, begin walking it around the house.
6. Associate the harness with the outdoors. The sooner your cat learns the harness means outside, the easier this process will become.
7. Encourage calmness. If your cat loses control, discourage this behavior by standing still. Your cat will soon learn that it can explore only when calm.
8. Choose relaxing situations. You can't expect calmness next to a busy intersection or in the path of another animal. Keep an eye out for trouble before it arrives.
9. Follow your cats lead. Let your cat take the lead to build trust and make the experience more pleasant for you both. Your cat will want to explore and sniff the great outdoors. Always keeps the leash slack.
10. Start with short trips. Familiarize your cat with the area immediately around your home, and then gradually increase the distance you walk.

All very good advice but let me explain what happens when I put a harness on my girl, Charlie... Her body goes completely stiff, her eyes cross and she falls over onto her side and plays dead until the harness comes off. All of a sudden, oh my goodness! She can walk again. I usually don't see her for a few days until she finally decides to stink out from behind the dryer and grace us with her presence.

This basic outline is a good start, but for a more in-depth "how to" you may want to check out this guide: LINK It answers a lot of questions other commentators have mentioned here, and some of the concerns. Hope this helps! (I've been walking my cat for over 5 years now, and we never miss an evening out!)

I've done all of these things with my 17 lb. male cat, Frisco. I used Pet Armour which does not kill flea eggs, and now in October, I'm dealing with a flea outbreak in my home. I had to wait until 30 days was up, then I put a flea collar, which kills flea eggs, on Frisco. We are still dealing with flea dirt and what feels like small barnacles on his skin, which are eggs that have died, but they are still on Frisco, which is gross! I had no idea that all of this mess would be part of it. Any suggestions?

Dear All,
I would like to know about of LC. LC no we need to maintain on billi of lading output document. As per users requirements LC no is the different for every order. So we need to maintain LC no as text or can we maintain in VX11N. If we can maintain VX11n how to maintain. Please explain detailly. and how it will trigger.
In our bill of lading output, we need to maintain Vessal name and ship to part bank name. But here shipt to party bank names always different to orders. There is no consisten bank name. Depends on the order shipt paty bank name will be change so we cant maintain in ship to party customer details right. But this baname should be come on Bill of lading output (print documesnt) so could u pls suggest me to where we can able to maintain for everyorder. As well as vessal name also same like this. Alwasy vessal name is shoube different for every oder. Could you please suggest me to maintain this both details. Then only i can able to prapare program spec for Bill of lading output.
Thanks in advance,
Hi Anjali,
for the first part LC, nyou can maintain it in VX11n , it includes all the details such as amount bank name , validity etc . it is comprehensive document as such therfore it is better than to sue text .
once u have created a LC document , it should be entered in the sales order Billing tab FI documents .by doing so
the value of the LC will be updated and hecne you will be able to track the invocies done against it
for the second part of Bank name and Vessel number, you can define 2 texts ID and the user can give the details in the tetx IDs for the same.
if the bank name is the same everytime , you can create a partner funstion with bank name and enter in invocie
i hope this answers both ur queries
Letter of credit is created for the customer with all the relevant data like the bank details and the amount allowed.
You can enter the LC number in the Sales document --> Header ---> Billing under FI documents.
This will enable the amount to be updated with the LC.
As far as the ship-to details and the LC nubmer to be picked in the BOL... Use the partner function and the LC details fields mainted in the sales document when develop the program for the BOL output.
There are plenty of textx you can maintain at each and every place in SAP. Use them whenever there is a unique requirement and do the text determination.
Becasue whenever you have changes occuring in each and every transaction for the same customer or reference field its dificult to use std procedure.
As to the LCs they are in SD-FT. You can maintain LCs and financial docs in FT under documentary credits but remember FT is SAP is not suported fully.
We are having a similar problem for a client for DEPB/Adv licence and so we are going for developemnt of our own programs.

By day, Bob Kane is a mild-mannered, 67-year-old artist and cartoonist. But by night, or at least by evening, when he attends an endless round of premieres, screenings, cocktail parties, lectures, press interviews and television tapings, Kane rides the waves of Batmania, a national hysteria sparked by Batman, the megahit movie based on characters he created in 1939. Fifty years later, Kane is still very much the proud Batdad. When a visitor arrives at the cartoonist's West Hollywood penthouse, Kane opens the front door to reveal a room as dark as his superhero's subterranean headquarters. "Welcome, "he says, "to the Batcave."
A native of the Bronx, the son of a printer at the New York Daily News, Kane invented Batman at 18. He drew him for DC Comics from 1939 to 1966. This October, Kane, who has spent the intervening years painting large canvases of Batman and exhibiting them around the world, will publish his autobiography, Batman and Me.
Divorced in 1957 from his first wife, Kane has been married for two years to actress Elizabeth Sanders, 36. He talked with correspondent Michael Alexander about his masked hero.
I was born with a pencil in my hand. I'd doodle on the sidewalks in New York, I'd scribble on walls. On the subway, I'd see an advertisement with the Colgate girl smiling with that beautiful set of ivory teeth, and I'd start blacking the teeth out. I must have been one of the all-time doodle-holics in the early days. I just used to scribble on anything I could get my hands on.
When I was 10, I knew I wanted to be a famous cartoonist. When my dad brought home the Sunday comic pages, I used to copy them all practically as good as the cartoonists who created them. In those days, most people didn't know what a cartoonist was. My family did, though. They encouraged me. They certainly didn't give me any flak for wanting to draw. My dad would bring my sketches down to the Daily News and show them to the cartoonists. They'd say, "Gee, your son has talent. He ought to stick to it."
I started selling cartoons when I was about 16. I got $5 a page for a cartoon, which was a lot of money in 1936. After I graduated from high school, I went to work for six months at Max Fleischer Studios, where they had Popeye and Betty Boop. From there I won a scholarship and studied art for around nine months.
Comic books were a whole new industry, but they didn't become really popular until DC Comics' Superman hit the market in 1938. I created Batman in 1939, after I was at DC about seven months. So I didn't suffer too long.
Superman became a sensational runaway hit overnight. I had a talk with my editor, Vincent Sullivan, one Friday. I said, "These two guys who are doing Superman, they must be making a fortune, right?" They were making probably $1,500 a week between them, and I was making $25 a week. The editor said, "Well, do you think you could come up with a superhero?" I said, "For that kind of money, I could come up with anything over the weekend." So I went home and started superhero doodling.
There were three major influences on Batman. The first was Zorro. As a kid, I was a movie buff. One of my favorites was The Mark of Zorro, with Douglas Fairbanks Sr. Zorro had the dual identity. By day, like Bruce Wayne, he feigned being a bored, foppish count, the son of one of the richest families in Mexico. By night, he became a vigilante. He would disguise himself, wearing a handkerchief mask with the eyes slit out. He exited on a black horse from a cave underneath his home, and that's the inspiration for the Batcave and the Batmobile.
The second influence was a Leonardo da Vinci book I had seen. The book had a lot of inventions, including a flying machine. It was a man on a sledlike contraption with huge bat wings. Da Vinci had a quote that went something like, "Your bird will have no model but that of a bat." There it was—from a book 500 years old!
The third inspiration was a silent mystery movie called The Bat, in which the bat was a villain. They had a searchlight in the movie with a bat in the middle, just like my Batsignal. I was always frightened by bats, but I was fascinated with them too, with the evil that they represented.
I wanted Bruce Wayne's costume to throw a terrible fear into the denizens of the underworld. If a huge bat came into your apartment, it would scare the hell out of you. I wanted to create a costume that was so awesome that the crooks would be petrified.
Batman was very crude at the beginning. He had stiff bat wings stuck behind his shoulders; he looked like a bat, actually. But I showed Vincent Sullivan my first crude sketches of Batman that Monday. He loved it and said, "Okay, let's go!"
I created Bruce Wayne to be a normal human being living in our society. I didn't want a second Superman. I think Batman is still the only superhero who's a normal man without superpowers. And therein I think lies the longevity of Batman. Every human can relate to being a Batman. Not giving Batman superpowers also gives the stories more tension because he can be killed. He'll bleed and he can die. That appeals to people, because he's vulnerable.
My father died when I was 22 or 23. That left a dark mood over my persona. Underneath it all, I'm a brooder like Batman. I really am Batman. When I was younger, I looked just like Bruce Wayne. I got the image from myself. Bruce Wayne—Bob Kane.
When Bruce Wayne was 10 years old, his mother and dad were murdered coming out of the theater. This dramatic shock motivated him to become a vigilante. Bruce Wayne isn't crazy, but he's obsessed. He became, in his own way, as psychotic as the Joker, except the Joker fights against justice and for evil. They're mirror images of each other.
Of all the villains I created, the Joker was my favorite. He's the most maniacal. He's sick but he's fun. His appearance is frightening and humorous at the same time. The inspiration for the Joker was a photograph of a German actor, Conrad Veidt, from the movie The Man Who Laughs. The film is derived from a Victor Hugo story about rival Gypsy gangs in France at the turn of the century. Sometimes the gangs would raid each other's camps and slit the mouths of children from ear to ear, so that when the children grew up, their mouths became frozen in a ghastly grin.
In the mid-'60s Batman was campy, in the comic book as well as on TV. I liked the TV series. It was good for the era of pop art. I still like it. The TV show was a farce, but it was still one of the great comedy shows of all time.
There are two factions today. There are those that like it campy, with Robin and the puns and the byplay back and forth. And there are the dyed-in-the-wool Batman fans who like it more misterioso.
It's difficult to turn a comic-book hero into a movie. The only yardstick was the TV show. We all agreed that we didn't want to do anything campy. We wanted to make Batman dark and brooding, taking the story back to its roots.
At the beginning, Michael Keaton was not my first choice to play Batman. But [Batman director] Tim Burton explained that he was looking for a character who was three-dimensional, real flesh and blood. We didn't want a superhunk. Michael Keaton has an edge about him. We knew we had a Joker who could blow the screen apart. We had to get a strong actor who could stand up to Jack Nicholson. Michael Keaton has a maniacal quality that Nicholson has, the same craziness going on in the eyes.
The Batman sequel will come as surely as I'm talking to you, probably in '90 or '91. They're going to rush one out, because they want to tear the sets down in Pinewood Studios, outside London. They'll need the space for something else if we wait too long.
I think Robin is definitely going to be in the next one. Robin was originally going to be introduced in the very last five or six minutes, but there wasn't time left to establish him as a character.
Some people expected the movie to fall on its face because of the hype. We worried about that. Now the whole Batmania thing is just unbelievable to me. We had a Batmania in '66 with the TV series, but this is even bigger. This movie is blowing through the rooftop.
And just think, I started it all with my little Batpencil when I was 18. Pretty amazing, isn't it?

Considerable space savings were realized at this parts in-feed and out-feed station by the customer, Linamar, a major Canadian Tier One automotive parts supplier.
As is often the case with machine builders, creating a custom machine for one customer often provides an opportunity to solve similar production problems for other potential customers. It is one of the ways progress is made. Increasingly, that progress, represented by multitasking machines, combines operations into a single platform.
In this case, the multitasking solution was in the form of combining post-process operations—deburring, cleaning and rust inhibiting—into a single machine. With factory floor space at a premium and capital equipment funds scarce, Linamar, a Tier One Canadian automotive part supplier, turned to Bertsche Engineering recently for an all-in-one part deburring, final rinse and drying solution.
Typically, complex machined automotive parts with multiple intersecting holes require feature-specific part deburring to ensure that parts are burr-free. After deburring, parts also need a final cleaning/washing to ensure removal of microscopic particles that might adversely affect performance. They are then preserved with a rust or oxidation inhibitor and dried for shipment (transport) to be assembled. Usually, this involves separate pieces of equipment, linked by conveyors or robots, to transport parts to each machine.
To solve the problem of densely filled factory floor space, Bertsche Engineering developed a machine that handles all these processes in one machine, in one deburring cycle. The machine takes oil and chip contaminated parts, previously machined on CNC milling centers and mill-turn machines, then selectively deburrs critical features using high pressure water, blasting chips out of internal cavities, knocking off all feather-edge burrs and fan washing the outside of the part, using a CNC for full cycle control.
This process is accomplished by a series of rotating lance nozzles that probe small diameter internal holes in order to blast feather edge burrs clean at intersection points and wash chips out of dead-end passages. External features are then blasted with a series of direct nozzles that release as many as 10,000 psi of water at the burr while tracing the part edges. The part is then washed with high pressure rotating fan nozzles. Moreover, additional mechanical wire and filament brush tooled deburring stations can be incorporated into the Bertsche system to mechanically remove burrs.
The same machine moves the deburred part to an agitated wash and rinse station, where the part is rinsed, cleaned and preserved with an aqueous rust inhibitor (providing protection for as many as 24 days) and is finally dried. The part is then ready for final assembly.

From left, Cheri Ball, Molly Borchers, Teresa Bruce and Melanie Patterson with the new computer game that will support Special Olympics.
The Seafirst Volunteers are offering a new idea for a holiday gift: a hand-held computer game benefiting the Washington Special Olympics.
Special Olympics athletes Cheri Ball, Molly Borchers, and Melanie Patterson, all of Woodinville, joined Teresa Bruce, a personal banker in Seafirst's Woodinville Branch, in kicking off the statewide fundraiser, which is to support local Special Olympics programs.
"Seafirst's hand-held game features 14 games in one, complete with sound effects," said Bruce. The game sells for $19.75.
"Proceeds will help Special Olympics athletes hone their athletic skills, while having fun in the process," Bruce said.
Ball and Patterson, both 17, most recently competed in track & field and bowling at the 1995 Special Olympics games. Borchers, 18, competed in track & field.
To order Seafirst's limited-edition computer game, call 1-800-253-1466, or stop by the Seafirst Store in the Columbia Seafirst Center.
More than 4,000 of the bank's employees are Seafirst Volunteers, a bank-wide effort supporting local agencies ranging in scope from early childhood education to community development.
Last year, the group raised more than $10,000 to fight domestic violence by creating and selling "The Bite of Seafirst," a compilation cookbook of favorite employee recipes. They also completed 125 group projects in 1994 and responded to nearly 300 individual volunteer opportunities.
Special Olympics provides year-round training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for all children and adults with developmental disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendships with their families, other Special Olympians and the community.
Supported entirely by private donations, Washington Special Olympics pays all competition-related expenses. There is no cost to athletes.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Mental Health Disorders
Pregnancy and postpartum mental health disorders are common, treatable medical conditions. One in five women will experience distressing emotional reactions during pregnancy and the first year after childbirth. These emotional conditions also effect fathers and those who have adopted or suffered perinatal loss.
The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Questionnaire helps mothers and fathers determine whether they are suffering from a pregnancy or postpartum mental health disorder. You complete the questionnaire anonymously online. Scores over 10 indicate the likelihood of anxiety or depression. Answers other than "never" to question 10 suggest you should call your healthcare provider or WellMama (1-800-896-0410) for an assessment.
Common pregnancy and postpartum mental health disorders include:
- Baby Blues: Symptoms include weepiness, irritability, exhaustion, and feeling overwhelmed. The baby blues resolves or dramatically improves within the first three weeks after childbirth. Up to 80% of women will experience the baby blues.
- Prenatal and Postpartum Depression and Anxiety: Symptoms include feeling anxious, agitated, sleeping too much or not at all, trouble falling asleep after waking, excessive worrying, irritability, anger, guilt, shame, feeling disconnected from your family and/or baby, appetite changes, difficulty concentrating, and possible thoughts of harming the baby or yourself. Up to 25% of mothers and approximately 10% of fathers will experience prenatal or postpartum depression or anxiety.
- Panic and Generalized Anxiety: Symptoms include feeling worried, anxious, or very nervous most of the time. Recurring panic attacks include heart palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea or vomiting, and fear of dying. Panic and anxiety affects 10% of pregnant women and new mothers.
- Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Symptoms include distressing memories, irritability, difficulty sleeping, nightmares, hyper vigilance, and efforts to avoid reminders of the trauma. PTSD can occur during pregnancy or following a traumatic childbirth. Symptoms may be related to a prior traumatic experience or the birth itself. 3-6% of pregnant women and new mothers experience PTSD.
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Symptoms include intrusive, disturbing thoughts and/or images of harm coming to the baby and a sense of horror about having these thoughts. These symptoms are usually accompanied by a preoccupation with keeping the baby safe through repetitive actions to reduce the fear and obsessions. Women disturbed by these thoughts are very unlikely to ever act on them. 3-5% of pregnant and new mothers experience OCD.
- Postpartum Psychosis: Symptoms include having strange beliefs, hallucinations, irritability and agitation, inability to sleep, rapid mood changes, and poor decision-making. Women with psychosis are not disturbed by the nature of their thoughts or find them unusual. This condition affects .1-.3% of new mothers and usually occurs within the first few days or weeks after birth. Women with psychosis are at significant risk for harming themselves or their infants and need immediate crisis intervention.
- For women with bipolar disorder: Women with bipolar disorder are at a significantly higher risk of experiencing psychosis, particularly if they are not taking medication and are extremely sleep deprived. It is important to develop a wellness plan with a practitioner familiar with postpartum illnesses. Having adequate support is a must.
