That's good.

Intelligence Sharing: Counterterrorism Collaboration Interoperability Project
Guest Editors: Peter A. Modafferi, Chair, IACPPolice Investigative Operations Committee, and Chief of Detectives, Rockland Country District Attorney's Office, New City, NY,and Kenneth A. Bouche, Colonel, Illinois State Police, Springfield, IL
he operators of the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN), Law Enforcement Online (LEO), the Regional Information Sharing Systems (RISS), and the Criminal Information Sharing Alliance Network (CISAnet) are working together to develop and implement a plan for interoperability among their systems. This plan, known as the Counterterrorism Collaboration Interoperability Project (CCIP), combines the best features of each of the partner systems to form a new connectivity and information sharing environment that will provide for more effective communications and more efficient responses to better deter, detect, and prevent criminal and terrorist activities.
Since July 2004, several meetings have taken place between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), RISS, and CISA to achieve interoperability among the systems and improve terrorist-related information. This initiative represents significant collaboration among several of the country's largest criminal justice information systems. The intent is to provide the widest distribution of general terrorist information across all law enforcement agencies and specific actionable information to agencies that have a need to know and act. This means that not all the information contained in each of the member systems will be accessible to every agent of the other organizations, but instead, each agency will determine what information it is willing to share, along with user-vetting requirements and protocols.
Ownership of information shared will remain with the agency that has collected it; however, each organization will allow the other participating member systems access to selected information that it has gathered and published. On September 20, 2004, HSIN, RISS, and CISAnet demonstrated the ability to post information in their individual databases and review and retrieve the information using the other systems. HSIN and LEO achieved connectivity by cross-posting of information between systems, which allows all users direct access to FBI and DHS information posted to the HSIN database.
To accomplish this important goal, the group developed a timeline that allows for systematic progress towards achieving interoperability. The first step in this process was to establish a clear understanding among all parties regarding technical requirements and operational needs. Once the requirements were met and operational agreement established, the technical ability was developed to allow direct access to HSIN, RISS, and CISAnet and post directly from LEO to HSIN, providing real-time ability to share and publish terrorist information among the participating members. This interoperability vision will be achieved in three stages:
It is anticipated that this project, when complete, will have a tremendous positive impact on the ability of all levels of law enforcement to obtain and share information regarding criminal and terrorist activities. For additional information on the Counterterrorism Collaboration Interoperability Project, please call the DHS Information Sharing Office at 202-282-9400; the DOJ Office of the Chief Information Officer at 202-514-7589; or the CCIP Support Team at 850-385-0600, extension 325. ■

THE founder of Silicon Valley tech firm ReputationDefender says he made an "entrepreneurial" decision to choose Liverpool ahead of London as his UK base.
Michael Fertik's company this week revealed it was opening a European headquarters in Liverpool after buying city firm Reputation 24/7.
Mr Fertik believes many US tech firms wanting to move to the UK are too quick to look at London rather than looking further afield.
And he said he expected Liverpool would be a great base for his business thanks to its knowledgeable workforce, strong universities and affordable office space.
He said: "We just found it makes more sense to move here and be entrepreneurial.
"It's not entrepreneurship just to look at London. It's bias, not what makes economic sense.
"We're hiring. We're hoping to be growing the workforce. We're interested in retaining and growing the team.
"I'm going to be investing in Liverpool. It's not the obvious choice.
"The obvious place would be East London, where they do the best flat white in Britain. But it doesn't make economic sense for us."
ReputationDefender, which was founded in 2006, specialises in helping people and companies to protect their privacy online.
Its technology can help people carry out tasks from removing potentially sensitive information to optimising their search results.
Reputation 24/7 was founded by Nathan Barker in Liverpool to help small firms manage their online reputation. Mr Barker will stay on with ReputationDefender.
Mr Fertik would not disclose the value of the deal but said he planned to invest millions of pounds in the UK market.
He added: "Liverpool has had substantial public and private sector investment.
"It's got a very good university. That creates an attractive environment for other 'young' university graduates, and that's certainly right for us.
"It's got an international population. It's got a good history in commerce. It's also got a reasonable wages environment. A place like London is much more dear.
"That's also true for infrastructure – office space here is far better for a company like ours making a move into the market.
"Another thing about Liverpool is that Liverpudlians want to stay in Liverpool. That gives it a stable workforce. That's terrific for a business like ours."
"A lot of tech people in the UK are, I think, making a mistake focusing exclusively on London as the place to be. There are masses of other parts to the UK."
Mr Fertik said ReputationDefender had already won some UK customers, but need to open a UK base to grow that customer base further.
He said: "We now want to be more proactive and more deliberate about growing internationally."
The company's sales targets range from individuals to FTSE-100 companies. It will have salespeople in London but its back office and head office will be based in Liverpool.
Mr Fertik said: "We intend to dominate this market as we have in the US. And we are going to do it with British people."
The company also considered investing in Germany, but Mr Fertik says he chose to look for targets in the UK as he was "bullish" about the market's long-term prospects.
He said: "I know there's been a lot written about the last quarter and the triple dip. But when I make investments like this, I am looking to a five or 10-year return.
"While we will make revenues this year, you cannot make decisions based on 10 or 24 months."
The UK's workforce and tax policies for businesses, Mr Fertik added, made it an attractive place to invest.
He said: "It's got a good future for its tech companies because it has a knowledgeable workforce.
"It's got great universities, like the University of Liverpool."

THE era of Tony Blair, it seems, is ending not with the bang of fireworks celebrating unprecedented political and economic success, but with the whimperings of a prime minister mired in sleaze allegations.
Ingloriously, as Mr Blair travelled to the Middle East yesterday in search of peace in the region's intractable conflicts, the accompanying media caravan was much more interested in the murk of cash-for-honours and bribes-for-planes.
Looking annoyed and tired, Mr Blair fended off their questions irritably. He seemed to return to his more customary spirited self only when he defended his decision to stop the Serious Fraud Office inquiry into the Saudi arms deal as being in the national interest.
It seemed to sum up just how far apart events have forced his prime ministerial agenda from that of the public interest.
Here was Mr Blair hard at work trying to help smooth the path of Turkey to become the first Muslim member of the European Union, to assist in bringing about peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and to persuade other Middle Eastern countries to help end the awful bloodshed in Iraq.
And yet despite the media having a front-row seat at the unfolding of potentially world-changing, world-improving events in which the British Prime Minister is personally involved, reporters insisted on pestering him with various other matters.
Why had he chosen to be interviewed by the police questioning him about donations to the Labour party, allegedly in exchange for peerages, on Thursday?
Why had Lord Goldsmith chosen to make the announcement about the abandonment of the SFO inquiry into the Saudi arms deal to an empty House of Lords, also on Thursday?
Could it be because this was also the day that Lord Stevens announced the findings of his meticulous inquiry into the death of Princess Diana?
Could it be that the government had hoped that the Stevens verdict would obscure these much more embarrassing issues?
"These are process questions," said Mr Blair wearily, refusing to answer them.
By that he means that they are questions about the timing of announcements rather than about the actual substance of announcements. But that, however, is something that this government has taught the media to ask, since it came into office priding itself on its ability to manage the media.
It also came into office in 1997, after the Conservatives had mired themselves neck-deep in sleaze, pledging that it would not just be clean, but would show itself to be clean.
It was too, a government that would have an "ethical" foreign policy. And yet, ten years later, here was Mr Blair halting a corruption investigation into allegations that millions of pounds of bribes were paid to members of the Saudi Arabian royal family to secure their order for 72 Eurofighter Typhoon jets from BAE.
It was, Mr Blair said, nothing to do with the thousands of British jobs, or the 10 billion of income to a British company that are at stake. "If we had allowed this to go forward, we would have done immense damage to the interests of this country," he said in Brussels. "Our relationship with Saudi Arabia is vitally important for our country in terms of counter-terrorism, in terms of the broader Middle East, in terms of helping in respect of Israel-Palestine, and that strategic interest comes first."
The questions about this decision, however, will not go away. Because we have seen the Blair government kowtowing to the Saudis over, for example, the false imprisonment and torture of British subjects, the suspicion remains that Liberal Democrats are correct to accuse Mr Blair of caving into "blackmail".
Worse, it sends a message to any business tempted to do business in Saudi Arabia that they might as well pay the bribes because the British authorities will take no action. As Sir Menzies Campbell, the LibDem leader, noted, it was "a sorry day for Britain's international reputation".
Less grievous to the international order, but more corrosive to domestic politics, is the news of the first serving prime minister to be interviewed by police investigating a crime.
Mr Blair's spokesman was swift to point out that the Prime Minister was not interviewed under caution as a suspect, but was spoken to simply as a witness. But it is not as though Mr Blair happened to see a mugging as he looked out of the kitchen window. Indeed, the central allegation is that Mr Blair has presided over a mugging of the honours system so that the Labour party can obtain millions of pounds.
Indeed, even if it is eventually announced that no such assault ever took place, that Mr Blair and all his party colleagues are entirely innocent, the government's halting of the Saudi inquiry will invite the cynical to ask whether this is a political judgment rather than one based on the evidence.
So the questions will go on, and on, echoing in Mr Blair's ears for many months after he has left office. No matter whether he does bring about peace in the Middle East, or that his government has produced an economy with the highest employment and lowest unemployment on record, with sustained growth and low inflation, the questions will still be asked. What really went on the Saudi deal? And with cash for questions?
How sad. How very, very sad.

I am always thinking….my brain never stops: in the shower, making the beds, brushing my teeth, doing laundry, getting the kids dressed, driving (I do a LOT of thinking while I'm driving).
Unfortunately, I also have a really bad memory. It never used to be bad, however has steadily declined ever since I went back to school in my late 20's and started using a DayTimer to keep track of all my assignments. Of course this has now turned into a Palm Pilot and may soon turn into a BlackBerry. My advice to you is to keep using your BRAIN and don't be tempted by teeth that are blue, berries that are black and phones called "Chocolate" or "i" ….. it's a conspiracy! I used to be able to retain a list of
20 (yes T-W-E-N-T-Y) tasks in my head and now I can't remember anything! And then I went and had 2 babies over the course of 3 years just to really make sure my brain was mush!
So while I'm doing the laundry or making the beds or brushing my teeth and all these thoughts and ideas are popping into my head, I have to stop what I'm doing and run out to the kitchen to write them down. Sometimes I find myself running back and forth like a crazy woman! I'm paranoid that if I don't write my fantastic thought or idea down, that I'll remember later in the day that I had the fantastic thought or idea, but I won't remember what the fantastic thought or idea was! Then I stress about the fact that I'll probably never have that same fantastic thought or idea again!
If I'm in the shower or some other "penless" place, I chant the thoughts or ideas in my head over and over until I can make note of them. I've even resorted to keeping a Dictaphone recorder in my car so that when (not if) the ideas come to me while I'm driving, I can record them without causing a 10 car pile-up!
But now I have a blog - a means to record and share my fantastic thoughts and ideas with the whole universe!

Q: My 5-yr-old male cat is completely deaf. He was neutered and declawed before I got him, and he has spent his entire life indoors. He will not go outside, even if I'm outside and leave the door open.
My fiancé rescued her cat about a year and a half ago, after he had been abandoned. He is 6 years old, and is neutered and declawed. He stays indoors some days but much prefers to be outside, and he will not stay inside at night. Also, he is a very large cat.
My question is whether they will coexist: How should we introduce them, and what should we expect?
A: Start the introductions before the two cats meet nose-to-nose. Encourage positive associations between the cats by engaging them in relationship-building exercises. Since your cat is deaf, activities that focus on smell, taste and then play will be the most successful in building affinity between the cats.
Your cats need to be separated from each other by a closed door for a while. Depending on how the activities go, it might be one month or longer before they have their first real-life encounter. The introduction process is slow. In order to be successful, it needs to progress at a pace set by the cats.
Start by exchanging pheromones/scents. Cats have scent glands on their cheeks that produce pheromones. We call these friendly pheromones, and they come in handy when introducing cats to each other. First gently pet your cat's cheek with a clean sock or small towel. Pet your fiancés cat's cheek with another clean sock. Exchange the socks, putting your cat's sock in the area where your fiancés cat hangs out, and her cat's sock in your cat's area. The pheromone exchange should be done twice a day with clean socks for about one week, though the duration depends on the cats' reactions to the pheromone-laced socks. When both cats are accepting of the others' socks, add the next relationship-building activity to the agenda.
Food can help build relationships! Feed each cat delicious treats or their regular meals near each other while separated by the closed door. If the cats won't eat, then move the food away from the door and over a period of days, move the food closer to the closed door. When the cats are comfortably enjoying munching near each other, while separated by the closed door, add another activity.
The next mutually fun activity involves the cats playing with each other under the closed door. Slip a double-ended toy under the door, and encourage both cats to play with it simultaneously. The previous activities still need to be continued as well.
The first nose-to-nose introductions should be attempted only after both cats are comfortable with the other activities. Nose-to-nose introductions are done by opening the door about an inch and wedging your foot in such a way that the door can't be pushed open by either cat. The goal is to allow the cats to greet each other by touching noses.
After the cats are enjoying their nose greetings with no displays of aggression or nervousness, they are ready for the next step. Back their feeding stations a distance away from the door. The confined cat should still be fed inside the room while the other cat's feeding station is moved down the hall. They should be able to see each other but not be near each other while eating. Feed them delicious meals with the door open. After they've eaten, close the door. Every day, extend the time the door is open by about one second. At any sign of aggression, close the door and proceed slower.
The relationship should build from there. Make sure the visits are supervised and safe.*
Additionally, please keep both cats safe and healthy; don't allow them outside. Declawing takes a cat's natural defenses away, leaving it defenseless against other animals.
*Many of the introduction suggestions that I described above were developed by certified cat behavior consultant Pam Johnson-Bennett.
Vendetta McMinnville, TN
I have wrote before about my two cats. I have had Sticky for 7 years and she is declawed. Our newest cat Bob is about 2 years old and he was use to being out in the wild so he loves to be out at night to hunt. We live by a big field and a creek. He comes in during the day and sleeps in a separate room as I am so afraid to have the two cats together since Bob still has his claws. He is way smaller than my Female but has such big teeth and sharp claws. This has been going on now for 6 months and it is stressful keeping them apart. Any suggestions would be great. Loved reading some of the stuff you all did but with one declawed cat I am afraid to put them together. I can't afford a vet bill.
Virginia Hayesville,, NC
I have two cats --Simba (Sealpoint Siamese) - 6 years old, declawed, spayed. 2nd cat: Inky,a stray which needed a home. She has silky coal black shorthair, a year old and VERY agressive. Inky has been spayed but not declawed, so she spends part of each day outside. I am forced to keep the two cats separated, but Inky is fast and has chased Simba under the bed several times; after the encounter, Inky withdraws, shaking her head, where Simba apparently made her mark with her hind foot and Inky's long, black tail, becomes twice as large after the encounter. This has been going on for about 6 months, with no evidence of compatibility between the two. Inky managed to push open the pocket door and get inside the bedroom where Simba was hiding a couple of times, so now I have a latch on the door. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Linda Brooklyn, NY
I usually introduce my new person by first putting a dab of powder on all their bottoms and then I usually am off the next day from work. I treat all the old residents by calling them for meals and pay little attention to the new person. I've been doing it this way for about 20 years with all age groups and so far so good.
Richard Wichita Falls, TX
I have two neutered males who were compatible while we had a female as she doted on both even though none are related. She had an accident and was killed by coyotes. Now the two males are constantly fighting or stalking each other. Would a new older spayed female help?

Book decision
American Soldier says,
So after getting the comments on the site and emails, it seems that the majority would like to have an actual book sitting on their shelves. So that is how I will move forward with this. With any luck, an agent will take the book under their wing and put some final touches on it and get it printed. I have not finalized with any other publishing house of agency so the book is on the table for the bidding.
So there you have it folks. The people have spoken.

William Shatner with Chris Kreski
Just think, Trekkers: If not for his distaste of sci-fi, Lloyd Bridges—not William Shatner—might ultimately have paced the bridge of the starship USS Enterprise as Capt. James T. Kirk. And it was DeForest Kelley (the ship's cantankerous doctor, "Bones" McCoy), not Leonard Nimoy, who was first offered the role of the stiff Vulcan Mr. Spock. "No way! Forget it!" said Kelley. So writes Shatner, who, through interviews with dozens of his former colleagues has fashioned this breezy, entertaining memoir.
Long before it spawned a galactic empire of movie, TV and merchandising spin-offs, Star Trek's three-year mission (1966-69) was simply to survive in the hostile vacuum of prime time. But the show was second-guessed at every turn by timid NBC executives who. according to Shatner, at one point airbrushed Spock's pointy ears out of publicity stills and even vetoed what was to be TV's first interracial kiss—between Kirk and Lt. Uhuru (Nichelle Nichols). Cast and crew protested vehemently—and won. Or did they? "Look closely," writes Shatner. "Our lips never actually touched."
In fact, NBC was ready to kiss off the series after two seasons, but a letter-writing campaign kept Trek aloft for a third orbit—creatively, its wobbliest (worst episode: "Spock's Brain"). The author himself gets a phaser jolt in the backside. "I have to tell you," says Nichols during an interview with her costar, "why I despise you." And, while Shatner listens aghast, she proceeds to recount the time the self-absorbed actor once sought to cut Uhuru's "extraneous" lines from a script. Shatner reports similarly negative feedback from Walter Koenig (Chekhov) and George Takei (Sulu). And while Nimoy remains a close friend, James Doohan (Scotty) wouldn't even speak to him for this book, prompting Shatner to issue an open invitation to Doohan to sit down and clear the air. Aw, c'mon, Scotty, whatta ya say? Beam him up. (Harper-Collins, $22)

HBO (Saturday, Sept. 22, 10 p.m. ET)
HBO should make three segments of Joe (Saturday Night Live) Piscopo's first solo special into musical-comedy videos so they can be played over and over again on MTV. The first: Piscopo plays Sinatra. As a young Frank, he croons I'll Never Smile Again; as an old Frank, he dreams of his own video, singing Witchcraft with a heavy-metal band. The second: Piscopo as Andy Rooney whining about TV. It's a chance for Joe to show off all his other great impressions—Ted Koppel, David Hart-man, David Letterman, Phil Donahue, even Joan Rivers. The third: A Thriller takeoff. Under the spell of a full moon, Joe, like a werewolf in metamorphosis, turns into Jerry Lewises, a half-dozen of them, emerging from graves to haunt a young woman in the Night of the Living Lewises. These skits are fresh, creative and hilarious. The rest—some stand-up jokes and a guest shot with pal Eddie Murphy playing Carl Lewis—is almost as good, and that's high praise indeed.

The Solution you didn't think you needed
For the Problem you didn't know you had
You love smoked meat and even vegetables from the grill. Pork butt, brisket, chops, even chicken taste great when they have been smoked and slow-cooked. But do you really have money and the room for one of those big old smokers on your deck? And are you going to use it enough to make it worthwhile? It's easier just to buy a bottle of the Liquid Smoke than to get into all that mess. Right?
Wrong. Now there's the Flameless Smoker, a gorgeous and compact device that will turn any grill, gas or coal, into a smoker. It's made of 20-gauge steel and holds 8 ounces of your favorite flavor of wood chip. Just lay it down on the grill and close the top. Suddenly you are smoking. ($39.95, hammacher.com).

Follow the Friends Life t20 on ecb.co.uk - click here for exclusive interviews and videos, live scores, match reports, photo galleries and much more
Like a James Bond baddie, Marcus Trescothick is planning world supremacy after Somerset reached Friends Life t20 finals day for the fourth year in succession.
Somerset beat Essex at a packed Taunton by 27 runs to progress through to this year's showpiece which will be held at the SWALEC Stadium.
But Trescothick is already looking further ahead than glory at Cardiff and is targeting being the top team on the planet.
"We enjoy going to the finals day and making it a bit of a habit for us," Trescothick told ecb.co.uk.
"Things feel different, we feel really good and in good spirits.
"We are desperate again to get into that Champions League and we want to be the best team in the world at T20."
Somerset's victory was built on an inventive 58 from 36 balls from James Hildreth who, in contrast to his team-mates, shunned power for placement to help his team reach 175 for six.
"It held the innings together nicely," said Trescothick.
"We lost a few too many wickets at the top of the order, no-one really got the score you'd expect from the top four or five, but Hildy has done it a few times this season. It was a really important and mature knock."
In reply, Essex lost early wickets including key players Ravi Bopara and Owais Shah which left the visitors hoping Alastair Cook might replicate his international form and turn the innings around with a big score.
But when he perished for 28, caught at short fine-leg, Essex stuttered to 148 all out, despite some late fireworks from Ryan ten Doeschate.
"Buzzing," was Trescothick's immediate reaction.
"It's a massive achievement – four years in a row now. It's a great place to be, probably the biggest day of the county season. It's great for the supporters, great for the club and we are buzzing as a team to get there."

Los Angeles Clippers 106, San Antonio Spurs 84: Not much to say
Games like these happen. The Spurs went into Los Angeles riding a four-game winning streak to start the season, facing a Clippers team that had lost its previous two games at the Staples Center to Golden State and Cleveland. San Antonio walked out a couple hours later, handed a 106-84 thumping by the likes of Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
The Spurs' leading scorer on the night was Danny Green, who had 12 points. The Clippers had four players score at least that many points and seven players total in double figures. Green was really the only player who could get anything going for the Spurs offensively, he knocked down four of his seven shots, three of them 3-pointers.
But Green is a finisher, in a sense. He doesn't create plays, he simply ends them by taking shots. The guys who create shots (Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili) had a hell of a time getting anything going. The Spurs had 20 turnovers, which kills their offensive efficiency and leads to easy baskets for the opponent. It's no wonder the Spurs had an 86.1 OffRtg on the night and gave up a 114 DefRtg. In short, they were bad.
I criticized the Clipper defense before the game in a preview over at ClipperBlog. Last night, we saw what Los Angeles' defense is capable of when they're playing well. The defensive rotations were solid and they were getting their hands on the ball. They were disruptive, and on nights when the Spurs offense isn't clicking, that's going to be a problem. The Clippers deserved a win like this and they got it.
For a long time, the Spurs had said that they were much happier letting Chris Paul score 30 points and only distribute six or eight assists. The idea was that if you force Paul to be a scorer, it hinders the rest of the offense, for whatever team he plays for (Hornets, Clippers). Last night Paul had only 10 points, but racked up 12 assists.
But as I said, games like this happen. You would prefer they didn't, but it's not the end of the world. Last night's performance doesn't mean that the Clippers are that much better than the Spurs or that San Antonio's defense is that bad. It was an off-night for pretty much everyone in the silver and black. Luckily for them, they're back out on the court tomorrow night and 76 more times after that.
I guess we're going to have to wait a little longer for the Spurs to start a season 5-0.

Hello bloggers! I have an anniversary card to share with you today. A friend of mine has an anniversary coming up so I wanted to make a card to send to her and her husband, so this is what I came up with.
I dug around in my old Papertrey Ink sets and found my Heart Prints set. I first selected my patterned paper from my stash, which I've had so long, I've misplaced the manufacturer's name, so please forgive me. I layered the patterned paper onto my black card base.
I selected the hearts from the set that contained the flowers, which I thought closely mimicked the patterned paper. I stamped them in red onto white cardstock and cut out the smaller heart and layered it on top of the larger one. I layered the white heart onto a black heart that I cut with my Cameo. I added a single bit of heart shaped bling, just for fun.
The bottom trim is felt flower ribbon and I added more heart-shaped crystals to the center of each flower. I'm not sure why I just told you what you can obviously see, but there is it. LOL
I also created a lining for my envelope to match the card, since I'm sending it in the mail...because presentation is 9/10th of the effect, right?
I'm happy you popped in today, as I am every time I post. Until next time, have a great life!
Live each day with PURPOSE!

Michael Thornely, Matthew Hoggard and James Sykes led Leicestershire to their first win in this season's Clydesdale Bank 40 against Holland in Amstelveen.
- Related Content
Thornely made a boundary-laden 86 as the Foxes, batting first, posted a total of 208 for seven in an innings reduced to 36 overs by the weather.
And Hoggard and Sykes then took three wickets apiece as Group A leaders Holland were bowled out for 175, leaving Leicestershire as 33-run winners.
Timm van der Gugten (two for 25) removed Josh Cobb in the first over and added the notable scalp of his opening partner Ramnaresh Sarwan (24) to leave the visitors 51 for three from 13 overs.
Matt Boyce made only 10 but Thornely and Wayne White put on 69 for the fifth wicket before White (38) became Mudassar Bukhari's (two for 37) first victim, with Leicestershire 143 for five with 4.2 overs remaining.
A further 50 were added in quick time before Thornely was caught by Tom Heggelman off Shahbaz Bashir to end a 77-ball knock containing six fours and five sixes. Ned Eckersley added 14 and Robert Taylor finished unbeaten on six.
Hoggard removed Michael Swart and Wesley Barresi either side of Stephan Myburgh's promising innings of 21 from 12 balls being ended when the opener retired hurt.
Bashir followed to leave the hosts 35 for three - effectively four - and they never really recovered, though Cameron Borgas attempted to give the innings some momentum with an innings of 40 from 48 balls.
Sykes removed Borgas, Bukhari first ball and then Tom de Grooth (36) in figures of three for 39 and though Heggelman made 14no, the chase was futile.
Hoggard put the seal on proceedings with the wicket of Van der Gugten (four) to finish with three for 26.

Do you know which snacks could be damaging your teeth?
No one likes to get a cavity, especially when you've taken good care of your teeth and gums. Sometimes the problem is not your oral care regimen but the foods you consume on a daily basis.
The Chicago Dental Society queried nearly 200 members to find out the top 10 snacks that put patients in dental danger. Some of the answers may surprise you.
1) Starches, like pasta, pretzels and potato chips. When you eat a handful of pretzels, enzymes in your saliva break the food in to simple sugars, feeding the bacteria that cause tooth decay.
2) Hard candies, like peppermints. Many people don't think twice about sucking on sugary candies all day long. By doing so, they're putting their teeth under constant attack by tooth-decay-causing bacteria.
3) Medicinal products, like antacids, cough drops and breath mints. Gram for gram, some antacids and cough drops have as much—if not more—sugar than chocolate! If you can't imagine life without breath mints, make sure to read the label. Some brands pack nearly 1/4 cup of sugar per tin.
4) Soda. Loaded with sugar and flavor additives, soda not only feeds the bacteria in your mouth, but the acids—found in diet sodas, too—can also destroy tooth enamel.
5) Bottled water. If you usually consume bottled or filtered water, you may be missing out on the decay-preventing benefits of fluoride. Most bottled waters do not contain fluoride, and most home water-filtration systems remove all fluoride. Read the label and look for bottled waters that contain fluoride.
6) Coffee drinks. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, flavor syrups—when you load your coffee with these goodies, you're consuming lots of sugar. A small caramel macchiato, for example, has more sugar than a Snickers candy bar.
7) Juice. Although juice can be packed with vitamins, it's not always the healthiest alternative to soda. Even unsweetened juices contain naturally occurring sugar—an 8-ounce glass of orange juice contains approximately 30 grams of sugar. In comparison, the same size serving of Mountain Dew contains 31 grams of sugar.
8) Sports drinks. Except in cases of dehydration or significant exertion, reach for water (with fluoride!) instead of a sports drink. These drinks are often high in sugars.
9) Fruit-based products, like leathers and roll-ups. Made from sweetened fruit purees, these sticky snacks are essentially candy. Bits and pieces stick to teeth, leaving your teeth susceptible to decay.
10) Gum. Sugary chewing gum puts your teeth under prolonged attack. Sugarless gum is a better option. Xylitol, a sugar substitute in some sugarless gums, has even been shown to help prevent tooth decay.
A tradition of working for the dental profession. The Chicago Dental Society was organized in 1864 and incorporated in 1878. The objective of the Chicago Dental Society is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the intrest of the members of the profession and the public that it serves.

Published Sept. 2, 2008.
For Ryan LaPorte and his dad and Jeff, the building of LaPorte Field has been a labor of love.
Their pride and joy is the new scoreboard sponsored by Meijer Inc. installed Aug. 25 by Ryan and Jeff, and Bob Thompson.
Constructed to be the Schoolcraft Little League Baseball Facility, it is among the finest Little League parks in Michigan and is highly praised by visiting coaches. Several have said it is the best Little League ball field they have had the pleasure of playing on.
Jeff LaPorte said of the installation of the scoreboard, "We poured six feet of concrete to anchor the supporting steel posts. It will take us two or three days to complete the project, including installation of the Meijer's recognition sign. And we are especially proud of the irrigation system we installed that is capable of automatically sprinkling the entire Swan Park. It has taken the volunteer efforts and support of many local people to complete the development of the Little League baseball facility."
Thompson is former township supervisor and vitally interested in community affairs.
"We telephoned Bob and asked for his advice and council on the project. He has been very helpful in the installation of the scoreboard," LaPorte said.
Major contributions included Tom Scott, who built the dugouts and removed the fence. It was a major undertaking. Meijer's donated $5,500 to purchase the scoreboard.
Nannette Davis, the Meijer's representative, was the one responsible for the entire donation.
"Nannette really spearheaded the entire project and made it possible for Meijer to sponsor the scoreboard.," LaPorte said.
Ryan LaPorte was 11 years old in 2002, playing baseball for the Schoolcraft Michigan District 15 Little League 11-12 age bracket team, when all this began.
"We had no home field to play on. We had to travel for all our games," Ryan said. "My dad and I talked about it at great length and, we decided to build a Little League baseball facility."
Ryan played six years of Little League, JV and varsity at Schoolcraft High School as an outfielder and first baseman.
His father, Jeff LaPorte, was a Jackson Community College baseball teammate of Kalamazoo Kings general manager Joe Rosenhagen and they have remained the best of friends.
Ryan LaPorte is a sophomore at Western Michigan University, majoring in mechanical engineering and business.
For the past five years Ryan has been a Kalamazoo Kings workhorse for Rosenhagen who says, "Ryan is my right-hand man. He does everything and has many capabilities and duties. Seldom do I have to tell him what to do or look over his shoulder. He sees what needs to be done and he does it. He is a young man in motion and loves his work. I am delighted to have him on our team."
For five years Ryan has been stashing money In the bank for his college fund. He continues to work summers for the Kings.
Plans for the development of the Little League Facility commenced in 2002 with numerous meetings with the township board. After about a year of meetings an approval was given, and the transformation of a softball into a baseball field began in April of 2003 in Swan Park at 50 East VW Avenue.
When completed, Schoolcraft Township officials decided to name it LaPorte Field.
Ryan LaPorte gave this running account of the development: "The help of Bob Thompson, Roger Barton, Don Hunt, Jack Wilee, and Jack Fryling and others made all of the work possible. Jack Fryling was instrumental in laser leveling the infield and creating the final playing surface. We also had help from Doug Butler, Jeff Sommerfeld, his son Tanner, Steve Peters, and his son Justin.
"The past Little League presidents made all of the work possible. While we donate all of our time, the Little League has provided all of the material necessary to complete the project.
"Jon Scott was the Schoolcraft Little League President when the project started and was extremely supportive of the entire project. The next president, Mark Blentlinger, was also extremely supportive and made continued progress possible."
Ryan LaPorte concluded, "The number of games each year has increased along with the number of teams. This year we had about 40 games. If the league continues to grow we may have as many as five teams at the junior level."

Skip to comments.Before Hiatus, Perry Bus Tour Gains Traction
Posted on 12/23/2011 8:32:25 AM PST by shield
Today is the last day of Gov. Rick Perry's pre-Christmas Iowa bus tour. Perry will return Friday to Texas for a brief Christmas break, then it's back to campaigning.
The Perry campaign has called the bus tour a chance for Iowans to give the Texas governor a second look. As the tour progressed, Perry refined his message and appeared to excite crowds, and by Wednesday afternoon he had assumed the role of a political outsider, which he used at each campaign stop.
We need someone who will walk in who has the discipline, who has the courage to break up that old system an outsider," Perry told a crowd in Muscatine. "And I want to make this pact with you as I wrap up. Ill have your back in Washington, D.C., for the next four years. God bless you and thank you for coming out here today."
Bob Wise came from Iowa City to hear Perry in Muscatine. He says he came to the event undecided but left a Perry supporter.
(Excerpt) Read more at texastribune.org ...
See what Governor Perry is doing daily The Perry Almanac
The Texas Miracle.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
If he gets less than 10%, he's probably toast but remember that Iowans often choose somebody who doesn't win the nomination. Remember Howard Dean?
What Perry needs is enough support to stay credible and then to outlast enough others to become the sensible alternative to Newt, Mitt and Paul, all of whom I consider unfit for the office.
LOL! How has Perry "gained Traction"?
Throwing gravel under the wheels of his campaign bus is only thing that will give the tour bus "traction".
Perry's poll numbers are still just as stagnant as ever. In fact he has gone down, down, down. And now stuck at 6.6% and his progress or decline is measured in "tenths" of a percent.
HA Push Polls aren't telling the real deal out there. Besides, when a person receives a poll call and they push the button for Perry and at the end of the call it says thanks for voting for Newt Gingrich then we know his numbers are awful and it's Perry Americans will be actually voting for.
Merry Christmas, Psycho.
Condolences about Newt.
I think Perry will end up in the top 4 in IA and after IA Santorum and Bachmann will drop out.
I agree that Perry's polling, at least in your link, seems mired in the 6 range. But whereas you are gleeful about it, I'm sorry to see it. Perry's had a great run as TX governor in terms of job creation. If he were more conservative on illegals-already-here and hadn't been mushmouthed in a couple of early debates, things might have been very different.
Good thing for you that Newt's own polling numbers are skyrocketing, eh? Oh, wait, I've got them upside down ...
Nice analysis, sounds spot on to me.
Don't count him down and out. All those Newt and Paul supporters will be looking for a viable candidate soon enough.
I hope so. We'll know pretty soon. I agree that Iowa's not that important in itself but would give Perry a good publicity boost to score well there.
Giving Perry credit for a state that is a natural hub for industry, it is mostly credited to their conservative legislature. Most of those job based industries or policies were never written by Perry. Perry and his rather foolish following are quick to give credit where it is not due.
Perry did not make Texas what it is. TEXAS made Texas what it is.
Gov.Perry is the only conservative out there, trash him at your, and my, peril.
I hope so. We'll know pretty soon. I agree that Iowa's not that important in itself but would give Perry a good publicity boost to score well there.
'rather foolish following.'
Nice from a Newt guy.
Us Texans are not for Perry, can't see how any other state would be behind him.
I have no doubt that Newt or Mitt could have messed it up.
This Texan is for Perry, and I can't wait to hear the big "OOPS" from Fox for underestimating his strength in Iowa on January 3 !
That is just stupid. Texas survived Ann Richards for goodness sake. The state is unbreakable.
Iowa will have zero effect on the final results, regardless of the winner.
Yeah, well, Texas survived Ann Richards when the economy was good and there weren't the problems there have been in the last ten years.
It took George Dubya Bush to get Ann outta there. The Bush bashers around here ought to at least be grateful to him for that.
His own mother didn't think he could unseat the white haired witch.
Whatcha mean, US, white man.
You have to admit, the Perry supporters here, are the loyal blind.......All ten of them!
[Merry Christmas, Psycho.
Condolences about Newt.]
LOL! Merry Christmas to you, and thanks! Newt is doing just fine. But if I were you, Newt is the last of your worries.
No, I'm not worried about Newt. He's my second choice but reaching the top and then starting a big slide is not usually a good thing.
I'd rather have Newt than Romney, but why settle for Newt when we can have Perry?
Many quietly wait...Merry Christmas Shield!
Since we are such an insignificant number, why don't you go harass someone else. Or better yet, find good things to say about your candidate.
Well, you certainly are, And I most enthusiastically do.
But more so, I am statistically correct;
BURLINGTON, IA. Rick Perry paused the routine stump speech hes developed during his 44-stop bus tour of the state in Burlington on Thursday to honor a deceased Iowan and Navy SEAL.
During a string of slams on the federal government that have become common for Perry, the Texas governor praised the military. Then Perry paused, pulling up one of his sleeves to reveal a bracelet that reads: KIA 8-6-11 Remember J.T.
Perry, who had not mentioned the bracelet during his speech before, seemed to struggle for his words:
I wear a I wear a little band, matter of fact one of your Iowans, who was killed on the sixth day of August this last year, who was one of those Navy SEALS that went down in a helicopter, Jon Tumilson, to remind me about my duty to make sure those young men and women have the support they need as they serve on active duty.
Tumilson, a Rockford native, was one of 30 Americans killed last summer under attack from enemy forces in Afghanistan. His death became well-known after moving images of his dog lying on the floor near Tumilsons coffin went viral.
Perry met with Tumilsons parents when they rode on his bus for a stretch last Sunday in Charles City, a moment that was not publicized. Thats when he received the bracelet, Perrys campaign said.
I'm not saying TX's success is all Perry. But it's ridculous foolish to say that his long run as Lt.Gov. and Gov. had NOTHING to do with it and/or is irrelevant. Perry overwhelmingly (if not entirely) pursued pro-business policies in his span in office. You are just desperate to tear down anyone who isn't your beloved Newt. It would be nice if FReepers didn't feel the need to attack an obviously conservative, successful governor because he's not their particular cup of acid. (You'll notice I'm not going to tear down Newt, even though I have huge problems with him.)
The 60-second spot, entitled President of Honor, will appear on broadcast and cable stations throughout the Christmas holiday, campaign aides said this morning.
They certainly are a "committed" bunch. I'll give them that.
Not surprising. GW's mom always liked Jeb best. :)
Sorry, nothing is unbreakable. I think saying Texas is unbreakable is stupid. The right people can break anything and do it quickly. 3 years ago people thought the USA was so unbreakable that electing a super-majority of Rats in congress and a rat president wouldn't hurt the country. Look at all the damage they have done in 3 short years. Think what you want but I think that Romneycare, Newt Gingrich style cap and trade or a host of other initiatives both of these jokers have supported in the recent past would have gone a long way towards breaking Texas.
Merry Christmas to all!
Those national poll numbers don't mean anything at this stage. Right now, the only thing that matters is where Perry is in Iowa, and you can bet your drawers that number is far north of single digits and growing.
I like Rick Perry and I like what Bob Wise said about Perry:
Hes human, puts his pants on one leg at a time," Wise said. "Hes not Washington, hes Texas. And he talks the truth, he talks it straight. So if the American people will wake up and listen to that, rather than all the promises that weve been getting politically and not had fulfilled, then why not?
I am with Governor Perry too. The more I hear him talk about our troops I know he would be fully dedicated to supporting our military.
I have heard enough flip flopping from Romney and Newt, and although I like Rick Santorum he needs more time to get better known. I will certainly fote for whomever wins the nomination but I hope it is Rick Perry.
Some of us Texans are for Perry.

In wake of Sandy, Giants preparing for Steelers
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Instead of shoes at the bottom of his locker, New York Giants safety Stevie Brown had a couple of power cords.
One carried a charge into his cellphone and the other into his laptop in somewhat of a crossing pattern. A flashlight was plugged into a nearby outlet.
While the Giants (6-2) prepare for Sunday's home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-4), the electronic equipment at the bottom of the locker of the NFC defensive player of the week was a sign of another opponent the Giants are facing this week -- the aftermath of Sandy.
The superstorm devastated areas of New York City and New Jersey and it has left a number of Giants without power at home, something an NFL player needs to review videotape of upcoming opponents as well as to stay warm and comfortable.
Only some players and coaches said they had power on Wednesday. Receiver Victor Cruz got it back after losing it for a couple of hours Monday. Guard Kevin Boothe never lost power, so he hosted tight end Martellus Bennett and his wife Tuesday. Coach Tom Coughlin believes he never lost his electricity, but said he hasn't been home much since the team returned from Dallas early Monday following a win over the Cowboys. Coughlin has been busy working on preparations for Pittsburgh.
- Peyton Manning's right thumbnail was covered with white tape and put under a media microscope upon his return to the football field Wednesday.
Manning's throws and hand-offs at practice were unaffected by his thumb injury in his first action since smacking his throwing hand on a defender's helmet Sunday.
- The Houston Texans claimed running back Jonathan Grimes off waivers and released linebacker Mister Alexander.
- Washington Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon and safety Brandon Meriweather are unlikely to play again this week, postponing their return until after the bye.
- Left tackle Michael Roos is practicing again and definitely wants back on the field Sunday. The shape the Tennessee offensive line is in, the Titans certainly need him Sunday with the Chicago Bears visiting.
- Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten has a chance surpass Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin's franchise record of 750 receptions Sunday.
Witten ranks third on the tight end list with 747 career catches, trailing the 1,195 by Atlanta's Gonzalez, and Shannon Sharpe's 815. Witten is also third with 8,396 yards.
