Is it possible to have a stretch handle enabled/visible to a condition, such as a layer visible?
Presumably, in the PCell you would only call the rodAssignHandleToParameter() function when the test condition is true, otherwise don't call it. Is this what you mean? The visibility of the stretch handles is controlled by the Options -> Display -> Stretch Handles item, or the associated .cdsenv variable
layout displayStretchHandles boolean t
I'm not sure that you can make handles individually visible, but you should be able to create or not create the stretch handle as indicated above.
Hope it helps.

In reply to Eduardas:
It's not a bug. Most likely you have the displayStretchHandles setting stored on either the cellView, the library, or technology library. When a design is opened, display and editor options are searched for in this order:
cellViewlibrarytech libcdsenv
Wherever it finds it first, will set the property on the window. So if it has been set in any of the top three, the cdsenv will have no effect because something more specific has overridden it.
To check, in the layout window do File->Properties and go to the Property tab (or shift-Q to bring up the cellView properties for most people). If it's not there, go over the library in the library manager and do RMB-> properties. Look for a property called viewProps and if it's there, it will have an EXPAND button next to it. This will popup another form with potentially multiple viewTypes, but the one you'd be after is maskLayout. Click on the EXPAND button next to that, and you should see any saved display properties. If it's not in the library, do the same process on the technology library that you're attached to.
In reply to Andrew Beckett:
Thank you for quick reply. I checked all this and did not find any viewProps...
To re-check, I created new lib & cell and have .cdsenv loaded. All this fine.
Most probably it was setted somwhere else. E.g working lib or techfile.
At least I can see stretch handlers now,
Thanks, Eduardas

HOUGHTON - Head women's basketball coach Kim Cameron announced the signing of four high school seniors to National Letters of Intent in the early signing period. Elizabeth Kelliher from Waukesha, Wis., Sarah LewAllen from Rochester Hills, Mich., Hannah Stoll from Lansing, Mich., and Lindsay Winter from Clare, Mich., have all committed to play for the Huskies in 2014-15.
"Overall, our recruiting class fills a number of the needs we have for the future," Cameron said. "Each one is a high-character person and high-academic student who will fit into our program perfectly. They are die-hard basketball players who want to be successful both on and off the court."
Kelliher averaged more than 10 points and six rebounds at Waukesha North High School a year ago. The 6-1 forward was a two-time Classic Eight All-Conference Honorable Mention selection, and the Northstars were a Wisconsin regional finalist in 2012-13.
"Elizabeth improved every time we saw her play this summer," Cameron said. "She is a strong post player with great feet and great body control. She can face up from anywhere on the floor and can finish over anyone. She is a patient player who attacks at all the right times but has a quiet dominance that will be very effective in our program."
LewAllen, a 5-8 guard, was a Detroit Free Press All-State selection, BCAM Academic All-State and BCAM All-State Honorable Mention as a junior at Notre Dame Preparatory High School. She was also a two-time all-conference selection in the Catholic High School League and averaged more than 10 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals per game for the Fighting Irish. Her team has been a two-time conference champion and set a school record for most wins (18) in 2011 while winning a district championship.
"Sarah is someone who stood out to us immediately because she is fundamentally sound in everything she does," said Cameron. "She is a heads up player who can shoot the three, pull up or get to the rim. Her length as a guard will be a huge advantage for her in this league. She is constantly working to get better and has a high ceiling."
Fact Box
This item was provided by Michigan Tech's Department of Athletic Communications and Marketing.
Stoll is a guard at DeWitt High School. She was a BCAM All-State selection, class A all-area honorable mention and first team all-conference selection in the Capital Area Activities Conference Red. She averaged more than 10 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals per game while shooting 50 percent from the field as a junior. The Panthers have been two-time conference champions.
"Hannah is a long forward who has a great touch around the basket," said Cameron. "She has the ability to pull up and knock down shots anywhere on the floor. She is aggressive on the boards and will be a player who will fit our system very well. Her best basketball is still to come and is another player whose length will give us an advantage."
Winter, a 5-6 guard, was a Class B First Team All-State selection by the AP, Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan, and Detroit Free Press as a junior at Clare High School. She was a three-time Jack Pine Conference Player of the Year and two-time Morning Sun Player of the Year. Winter averaged more than 22 points, five rebounds, four steals and four assists in 2012-13 and broke the school record for points scored in a season (546). Her team has been a three-time conference champion, two-time district champion and regional champion in 2013.
"Lindsay is a tough, hard-nosed competitor who makes herself stand out whatever team she is on," said Cameron. "She is aggressive in the open court and finds a way to win. She is a relentless-on-the ball defender and will bring a ton of energy to our team and make us better both offensively and defensively."
Kevin Luke, head men's basketball coach at Michigan Tech, signed two high school seniors to National Letters of Intent last week in the early signing period. Alex Almquist of Hancock and Sean Clarey of Pewaukee, Wis., have committed to play basketball for the Huskies in 2014-15.
"We're really excited about both guys for all the right reasons," Coach Luke said. "This is a good place for them academically and they clearly fit our systems as far as what we want to get accomplished with our offense and defense. They are both Michigan Tech-type players."
Clarey is a 6-3 guard and plays at Brookfield Academy. He led the state of Wisconsin in scoring last season and has twice led the state in three-pointers made.
Luke praised Clarey for his shooting abilities. "Sean's a lights-out shooter who will be effective in our screening system. He's a coach's son who is very unselfish and knows how to play the game the right way. He's also got good size for a guard and can handle the ball."
Clarey was a second team all-state selection after his junior season and is a three-time All-Midwest Classic Conference selection, including the player of the year in 2012-13. He averaged 23 points per game while shooting 51.4 percent from the floor and 45.9 percent from three-point territory as a junior.

Newark Police Director Garry McCarthy got the five city council votes he needed to win reappointment this week, so he's staying put. Violent crime rates, however, are on the move--up, unfortunately, even as the NPD faces the threat of 167 layoffs to help balance the city's budget.
Yesterday, McCarthy told me he may be able to avoid some layoffs. Retirements will save more than $3 million. Demotions that will push most of the NPD down a pay grade and the reorganization of department operations, may save enough to keep a lot of cops from losing the jobs, he said.
Good, because the prospect of fewer cops is scary at a time when crime is already on the increase.
The NPD's website says that as of Sept. 26, murders were up citywide 25 percent compared to last year. There was a frightening 145 percent jump in homicides in the 4th District in the West and Central wards, which had 27 killings, 16 more than this time last year. The NPD thinks its because some people who got out of jail may be trying to take their drug territory back.
Citywide rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults and shootings increased, with smaller decreases in burglary, theft and auto theft. However, it is hard to convince some folks Newark doesn't cook the books on its crime stats. This may be why:
On Sept. 23, a woman who lives on Dewey Street, pulled into her driveway where a guy with a gun ordered her to get on the ground and hand over her keys and cell phone. He took her 2007 Toyota RAV4. That's what the NPD incident reports says. Sounds like a carjacking? The report called it "theft-movable property" and the victim rightly wondered if her crime was counted for what it was. The NPD assured me that all reports are doubled checked by the crime stat analysts and mistakes are corrected, including this one. It seems like an odd mistake to make in the first place.
Also, because all crimes are weighted equally, 8,808 total incidents so far this year compared to 8,807 this time last year means no crime increase even with the jump in murders, rapes and shootings. It's statistically right, but not indicative of reality when it comes to violence in Newark.
On August 23, Capt. Dennis Reilly, commander of the 3rd Precinct, which is the East Ward, sent out a memo that crime "has increased dramatically while performance has decreased dramatically" in that part of the city.
Week to date crime was up 86 percent with a 50 percent drop in the motor vehicle stops and quality of life stops that have been a key part of the NPD's crime prevention strategy. The often cited example is that a cop stops someone for drinking on the street, finds a guy with guns or outstanding warrants, and gets that person off the street. It is a strategy that rankles many in the community. Low performance indicators, McCarthy acknowledged are a sign that morale is low, and the officers looking at layoffs, demotions and job changes aren't motivated. I wonder what was going on in the rest of the city.
Reilly is looking for solutions, McCarthy said. He's doing his job.
He may not be doing it for long. The plan for reorganizing the department includes demoting all captains to lieutenants and putting the NPD's deputy chiefs in command of the precincts.
And who will be doing whatever the deputy chiefs were doing?
Deputy chief Keith Rubel, for instance, is currently in charge of gangs and narcotics operations. He made more than $200,000 last year after clocking more than $50,000 in overtime. Such numbers rankle the NPD rank and file who are waiting for a sign that the higher ups are going to take the same kind of hit the grunts are.
For now, my question is this: assuming that Rubel's overtime indicates he was hard at work on the hardest part of Newark's crime problem, what happens when he takes over a precinct?
McCarthy said currently centralized operations will become precinct responsibilities, so each commander will have his own narcotics and gang operations, for instance. It may not be the best way, but it is an efficient way to operate that will help save money to can save cops jobs, McCarthy said.
That is indicative of reality in Newark.

Domaine La Garrigue VacqueyrasA blend of old vine Grenache and Syrah, the 1994 Domaine La Garrigue Vacqueyras is a deep, brooding, purple potion.

Guest [Sign in / Register]
In this room you will keep hearing Ashley screaming, as she is still bolted to the wall that spun around. First, run around the perimeter of the room, smashing all the pots and taking the goodies. Take the time to reload all your weapons (especially Rifle and Handgun), then cross the bridge from the north end of the room to a tiny platform in the center.
Ashley will be down below across from you. Take out your Rifle and shoot the three bolts that are holding Ashley down. Make sure to aim at the ends of the bolt and not in the center, otherwise you will shoot Ashley. If you have good aim, you can also use the handgun.
Once Ashley is free, some Zealots will come towards her and try to take her away. Ashley will cower in front of the wall that you freed her from until you eliminate every Zealot. Take out your Rifle and start sniping. You can also use your handgun, but you will likely run out of handgun ammo.
When the first wave of enemies are gone, Ashley will run to the door in the northeast, only to discover that it's locked. A second wave of enemies comes out of the eastern door, and Ashley will return to cower at the wall again.
Some of the Zealots will have crossbows, so try to snipe them first so you don't have to worry about yourself. They will also run around to different places of the room in an attempt to confuse you. Kill the red-robed Zealot, and once every other Zealot is obliterated, Ashley will run off to the red-robed Zealot corpse, take the key, and use it on the door.
You will now take the role of Ashley. She has no weapons to defend herself, so it will be sort of a pain. Leon should have threw her a pistol. Take any items you can scavenge from this first room, and then go towards the area with the Zealot.
Quickly take a right turn and you will see a small desk on the right-hand side of the screen. Crawl under it -- for some reason the Zealots don't like crawling. Look around the room for lanterns. Throw them at the Zealot when it is about eight paces away from you. If you throw too early or late, you will either miss or burn yourself.
Once the Zealot is gone, operate the cranks. If you use up all the lanterns and fail to burn the first Zealot (it takes two lanterns; three in Pro mode), you have no choice but to restart from the nearest save point.
Go through the gate that opened. The next room will have one more Zealot. Throw the lanterns at him once again to kill him, but there is one more option to use if you used up all the lanterns without killing him. Get the Zealot to chase you and go back to the first room. When you think he is far away enough from the gate separating the two rooms, run back through the gate, do a 180 turn, and pull the lever on the right. The gate will drop -- now he is stuck in the first room. Operate the two cranks and go through.
Take the door to the left and take all the goodies. Go back through the door and keep going forward until you see another door, enter. This area consists of a ton of gates, and you must work your way through by pressing red buttons that open the gates.
First, crawl under the table to your immediate left and push the button at the end. Head back to the table (but don't crawl back under) and turn left. Push the button to open a gate behind you, and also take the Stone Tablet from the fireplace mantle.
Do a 180 turn back into the first place you were in before you crawled under the table. Shove away the bookcase and push the revealed button. This will lift a gate but drop another.
Now just go back through the gates to the north end and open the door. Keep running through the hallways of ominous knight statues and open the door. This rectangular room has several treasures to take, including a Gold Bangle. Then look at the slide puzzle in the center.
Numbering the spaces from 1 to 9 as so,
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
click the pieces 4-7-9-3-1-7-9 in that order (it is the shortest way possible that we know), then stick in the Stone Tablet for the missing piece. A section of the wall ahead will rotate. Take the Salazar Family Insignia from the statue. The wall will rotate again and open the chest to receive the Serpent Ornament.
Immediately after you take the ornament, several suits of armor from the previous hallway will come through the door and start chasing you. Wait for them to come near, then run around them and go in the door.
Quickly head back down the knight hall, but watch out for two suits of armor that will attack as you get near, press the dodge buttons to avoid their attack. The stationary knights will disintegrate after they try to kill you once, but the knights before will still be on your tail, so quickly make your way back through the gate room. Right next to the exit, a knight will attack. Dodge it and go through the door.
Turn right, run down the hall, and then turn left to enter another room. Take all the free stuff here. Use the Salazar Family Insignia on the circular lever and then rotate it to get rid of the wall.
Climb up the ladder, take the money from your right, and then run down the passage back to the room where you separated from Leon. There are no enemies on the way. Open the door, and after a touching reunion interrupted by Salazar, the chapter ends.GO TO CHAPTER 4-1

The provincial government says it is working to secure more than 40,000 flu vaccines for use in Newfoundland and Labrador, which are expected to be received over the next three weeks.
© Star file photo
Health Minister Susan Sullivan is seen in this file photo.
The vaccines will be made public in a staged manner that focuses on those most at risk.
The province is working with the Public Health Agency of Canada and other provinces on the issue.
A news release notes that since Friday, 2,500 doses of vaccine have been received and distribution will focus on children under five years of age and pregnant women.
"Nationally, interest in vaccine outpaces available supply," said Health and Community Services Minister Susan Sullivan.
"We have worked with our counterparts across Canada to secure additional vaccine for use in our province.
"While more vaccine is expected to be secured in Newfoundland and Labrador over the coming days and weeks, at this time we have asked regional health authorities to target their efforts on children under age five and pregnant women as they have been shown to be at higher risk from the complications of seasonal influenza."
To date, there have been 109 laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza, the majority of which have been H1N1. There have been 17 hospitalizations, and seven admissions to intensive care.
In comparison, there were 259 cases of influenza, 88 hospitalizations, 11 admissions to intensive care, and five deaths at the same time last year.
"This year, we have had a positive uptake of our public vaccination program with close to 130,000 vaccines being administered to residents, which surpasses interest from previous years,"said Dr. Faith Stratton, Chief Medical Officer of Health.
"Previously, unused vaccine had to be discarded at the end of the flu season. In the meantime, outside of receiving the seasonal flu vaccine there are important steps you can take to prevent the spread of flu including, washing your hands regularly, coughing or sneezing into your sleeve and staying home when you are sick. Always remember to clean, cover, and contain."
H1N1 has become a part of the normal seasonal flu viruses circulating over the last four years. The current flu vaccine protects against three strains of flu, including H1N1.

CORVALLIS — Freshman Damyean Dotson scored 15 of his career-high 21 points in the second half, helping Oregon surge to a 79-66 victory over Oregon State in the Pac-12 Conference opener for both teams Sunday night at Gill Coliseum.
The Beavers (10-4, 0-1 Pac-12) led 34-28 at halftime.
The Ducks (12-2, 1-0) then opened the second half on a 13-2 run to take a 41-36 lead. Dotson scored seven points during the run.
Devon Collier scored three straight buckets for the Beavers to tie it up at 43-43, but the Ducks pulled away with a 12-4 run, building a 55-47 lead after an Arsalan Kazemi rebound basket with 7:25 left.
Oregon outscored OSU 51-32 in the second half.
E.J. Singler finished with 15 points and nine rebounds for the Ducks and freshman Dominic Artis added 11. Kazemi had eight points and eight rebounds off the bench in his return from a concussion.
Ahmad Starks had a game-high 22 points for the Beavers and Roberto Nelson added 18.

Bought for my daughter's birthday party. Was fun for the kids to play with and do karaoke to.
I purchased this product to use as an ambiance setter for the food tables at a large 40th Birthday party. I was very discouraged to find the same exact lamp at another party supply company as well as some other places online for less than half of what I forked out. I made a big mistake not looking into this further prior to shopping. I will not make the same mistake again nor will I shop with them again. It was a very poor value.

Product Description
No one really likes to be told how much the bill is, how far under target, or by how much you have overspent! So if your job has a lot to do with maths, then we hate to be the ones that break it to you, but you're probably not the favourite person in the office. Unfortunately for you it gets much worse! Now you need to ask yourself who gave you your calculator and does it look like the one in the picture above!?
The Wrongulator is no ordinary calculator, its actually the world's worst calculator as it never gives the right answer, ever! If your calculator has been exchanged for this one then every single calculation you've entered in it has been wrong. It is perhaps the cruelest practical joke you could inflict on your office colleague and the chances are, without being told, they'll probably never guess….well not before it's too late anyway! Mwhahahaha!

PRINCETON BOROUGH — Décor shop The Farmhouse Store will open tomorrow in Palmer Square, co-owner Kristin Menapace said.
The shop sells handcrafted artisan gifts, home décor, pottery, jewelry and "barn wood furniture" — chairs, tables and other items crafted from wood reclaimed from old barns.
The original shop, owned by Menapace's brother-in-law Ed and his partner Bill Curtis, is in Westfield.
The Palmer Square space is The Farmhouse Store's second location. Menapace and her husband, Ron, signed a five-year lease on the 43 Hulfish St. store a few weeks ago.
"We just love the Princeton community," Menapace said. "It's very family oriented, with lots of different activities within the community."
The couple moved to Princeton from California about a year ago when Menapace was pregnant with twins. The New Jersey natives wanted to be closer to family, Menapace said.
They hope to embrace their new home by getting to know local artists and selling décor with a Princeton twist, Menapace said.
"We are selling some really unique (black) squirrel jewelry," Menapace said.
They plan to sell additional Princeton-specific items as their business developers, Menapace said.
Beyond that, the store will sell a mix of home goods, gifts, crafts and jewelry, Menapace said.
The original Farmhouse Store opened in 2006 in Westfield. Its wares were featured on the HGTV show "Dina's Party" last month, according to its Facebook page.
The Menapaces have been drumming up excitement on the Princeton store's Facebook page by posting pictures of sale items and the remodeled store.
The store previously housed The Papery, which has moved down the street to 15 Hulfish St.
The store will open its doors for the first time from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. tomorrow.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Foundation gave away Greater Cleveland's treasure Saturday when it threw open the doors at four cultural jewels in University Circle.
All of the institutions broke attendance records.
This was the fifth gift to the community in celebration of the foundation's centennial. Admission costs were waived at the Western Reserve Historical Society, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the Cleveland Botanical Garden.
The fourth attraction, the Cleveland Museum of Art, is always free -- so the foundation made sure that 500 free tickets were available for a special Van Gogh exhibition there.
Botanical Garden drew 9,500 people. The Art Museum had 7,130 visitors, and 3,800 went to the Historical Society -- all-time highs for each, said Susan Christopher, spokeswoman for the foundation.
With 7,000 visitors, the Natural History Museum had its busiest Saturday.
Robert Eckardt, the foundation's executive vice president, said this is the first time the celebratory gift involved four institutions at once.
In February, the foundation assured free admission to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Great Lakes Science Center by Cleveland's waterfront.
Free admission to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo last month drew more than 35,000 people, its all-time record. The rush of people created traffic and parking headaches. For a while today, there were concerns for the same thing. Eckardt said University Circle officials told him around 4,000 people were waiting to enter the four venues at 9 a.m. -- an hour before any opened.
But traffic, parking and crowd-control problems never materialized. Chris Ronayne, president of University Circle Inc., said large crowds were expected but nowhere near the 70,000 that attend the annual Parade the Circle.
By midday, Ronayne said "everything is flowing."
Helping matters were shuttle buses, weather fit for foot traffic, and the fact that the four institutions were within easy walking distance of each other.
Dr. Evalyn Gates, CEO and executive director of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, called today "a celebration of this magnificent foundation and its gifts to the community."
She said the relationship between the museum and foundation "goes back to our founding in 1920."
The foundation's gesture was as much of a gift to the general public as it was to the institutions visited today.
Eckardt, who visited the four venues throughout the day said, "I'm hearing from a lot of people that they have never been to these institutions before."
Tiffany Sturey of Lakewood said Saturday was her first visit to the Botanical Garden, even though she attends nearby Case Western Reserve University, where she is working toward a graduate degree in molecular medicine.
"I intend to come back," she said.
Katie Morrow and her daughter, Claire, toured the Art Museum's Van Gogh exhibition. They came up from Homeworth in Stark County and had never been to the museum before.
"We didn't know it was here," Katie said. She pledged to return.
Philip and Arlene Fine of Beachwood were looking at the Van Goghs at the same time. They said they visit the Art Museum at least once a month.
August Napoli, deputy director for advancement at the Art Museum, said half of the 500 free Van Gogh tickets were given out by 10:30 a.m. But there were no crowd issues because each ticket carried a set time when a visitor could be in the exhibit.
The foundation's next gift will be free concerts at the Tri-C JazzFest in June.

Q: I've been having trouble with my tomatoes getting blight, and I read somewhere recently about a new tomato that is blight resistant. I just went through all my new seed catalogs and can't find anything about it. Do you know anything about this?
A: Yes, there are some tomato varieties that are at least somewhat resistant to both early blight and late blight, which are two different diseases.
Early blight is much more common and starts out as leaf spotting that works its way up the plant and progresses into browning and a gradual premature death of the whole plant.
Late blight is much less common and strikes pretty quickly. It starts out as grayish patches on leaves and greasy spots on fruits. Within days, your plants can go from looking pretty good to dead.
Two varieties that I know of are considered resistant to both of the blight diseases: 'Juliet,' a hybrid that's an All-America Selections winner with small, 1-ounce, oblong fruits, and 'Legend,' a larger Beefsteak-type hybrid with 12-ounce round red fruits.
Also resistant to early blight is 'Matt's Wild Cherry' (red cherry type), 'Mountain Fresh Plus' and 'Mountain Supreme' (mid-sized hybrids), and 'Cabernet' and 'Merlot' (red grape types).
Fewer varieties are resistant to late blight, but four I'm aware of are 'Golden Sweet' (a golden cherry type), 'Mountain Magic' (sweet, red, golfball-sized fruits), 'Plum Regal' (red plum type) and 'Lizzano' (red cherry type).
All are fairly well available through such companies as Johnny's Selected Seeds (www.johnnyseeds.com), Territorial Seeds (www.territorialseed.com), Totally Tomatoes (www.totallytomato.com), Tomato Growers Supply Co. (www.tomatogrowers.com), Park Seed (www.parkseed.com) and Jung Seed (www.jungseed.com).
An excellent web site to visit is Cornell University's page devoted to ratings of scores of tomato varieties by their disease resistant. Here's a link: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/Tables/TomatoTable.html.

When BMW begins selling its new i3 later this year, it'll represent a couple of firsts. One, for the company – this is their first ground-up, fully electric car – and one for the entire auto industry. The i3 is the first mass-produced car with an entirely carbon fiber bodyshell. While a fully electric offering from a trendsetting brand like BMW is news enough on its own, what may be most remembered about the i3 years from now is its carbon fiber construction. While it's been in use for years as body panels like hoods or roofs (or entire cars on the more exotic end of the spectrum), widespread adoption of the material as a major structural element in everything from Kia to Koenigsegg is inevitable. Like it or not, the i3 is a sign of things to come.
even such a throwback as the 2002. Taking a page out of Porsche's book, it's rear-engined – er, rear-motored – with the powertrain hiding underneath the cargo area. There's an optional supplemental 2-cylinder gas engine (taken from BMW's motorcycle line) that will act as a range extender by keeping the batteries charged up on longer trips. That'll bring the range up to as much as 185 miles, whereas it tops out at about 100 for the electric-only version.Departure though it may be, the i3 remains true to several BMW traditions. It's rear-wheel drive and feels solid as a rock, the doors closing with a sturdy-sounding thunk, familiar to
As with all electric motors, maximum torque is available immediately, so presumably the i3 will not dent BMW's reputation for quick acceleration. While I haven't yet had the chance to drive one myself, the company claims it'll be no slouch in the handling department. Assuming they're not planning on giving up the title of Ultimate Driving Machine any time soon, one would imagine they've made sure this is not an empty promise.
The primary benefit of carbon fiber is its ability to provide steel-like strength with as much as a 25% weight savings. This can help to offset heavy batteries in a traditional electric like the i3, or to increase fuel economy in a gas-powered car. As the auto industry continues to search for ways to decrease weight without sacrificing safety, carbon fiber construction will surely become mainstream soon. BMW has invested billions in getting there first.

FAIRHOPE, Alabama -- Local residents and visitors alike gathered for the Community Freedom Celebration this evening at Fairhope Municipal Pier and rose garden.
The celebration included a Community Choir made up of area chorales and church choirs. It sang arrangements of traditional standards, such as "The Star-Spangled Banner," "America, the Beautiful," "God Bless America," "God Bless the U.S.A." and others.
The event also featured children reciting passages from historical documents, and speeches from local elected officials. A Color Guard presented the colors, and there was a cannon firing.
Representatives from each branch of the Armed Forces were on hand, and there was an opportunity to show appreciation to both veterans and those still serving.

Scammers have been contacting relatives of unaccompanied immigrant children to demand payments to reunite them with their families.
Scammers have somehow been able to locate U.S. relatives of immigrant children being held primarily at two facilities, Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio and Fort Sill in Oklahoma.
Callers demand relatives make payments of anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars to "process" unaccompanied children, pay for their travel or reunite them with family.
People in at least a dozen states have reportedly been contacted for payments, and U.S.A. Today reported that case workers now warn relatives about the scam when they call.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Inspector General issued an alert today in English and Spanish warning Latinos the government will not ask families for money, personal information or bank account numbers to process minors detained after crossing U.S. borders.
Anyone who has been called with a demand for payment should contact HHS at 1-800-447-8477 or https://forms.oig.hhs.gov/hotlineoperations/.

TRURO - Celebrations are being planned to recognize the sacrifices, hardships and successes of Colchester County settlers who arrived here 250 years ago.
The significant anniversary will be marked in 2010 and 2011 with events and activities planned throughout the county.
"We see this as an opportunity for our communities to come together to celebrate all that we have become over the past 250 years," said Ken Henderson, member of the Planters 250 Committee.
In the summer of 1760, representatives of prospective settlers came to this region to view diked farmlands left vacant following the expulsion of the Acadians about five years before. The settlement began in the spring of 1761. Recognizing the historic significance of the lengthy settlement, the celebration will span two years beginning January 2010 and will continue to December 2011.
Aidan Norton, curator of the Colchester Historical Museum, said the English-speaking settlers from New England and Ireland were known as the Planters for their farming expertise.
They settled in the townships of Truro, Onslow and Londonderry, which today include Truro, Bible Hill, Onslow, Old Barns, Glenholme, Londonderry and coastal communities from Great Village to Economy-Five Islands.
"Most of those that came, came to work the land," he said. "One crop that they became well known for was their flax."
Flax was processed to make linen, and to recognize the importance of the crop during that era the flax flower will be the centrepiece of the logo developed to mark the anniversary.
The museum is already planning two displays in honour of the Planters for both 2010 and 2011.
"The celebration is an opportunity to recognize what was going on in our area at the time but also to show we have a living connection to this story," said Norton.
During the settler's arrival, a military artist painted several canvasses depicting life at the time, which will be included in the museum's exhibit.
The Planters 250 Committee has been established to help co-ordinate and promote anniversary activities and is looking for ideas on how to best mark the occasion.
The committee will be contacting organizations in celebration communities in an effort to establish as many themed events as possible. In some cases groups may choose to brand existing or ongoing activities such as sports tournaments or cultural events under the Planters 250 theme.
Any group wanting to be involved can contact Cathy von Kintzel, special events and culture co-ordinator for the Town of Truro at 893-6093 or at email@example.com
By honouring the Planters, Henderson said the committee and public also acknowledge the roles played by the region's Mi'Kmaq and Acadians.
"All components of our population should take this as an opportunity to reflect on and honour our shared history," he said. "Above all, it's an opportunity to develop, nurture and express shared appreciation in the accomplishments of our region and to have a memorable celebration."

Just like that, the race for the league title is the main theme in our MLive Game of the Week previews.
The holidays are a memory, and for the girls, there is only a month left in the regular season.
That means a big game against a key league rival really matters now, and our MLive Game of the Week previews are smack in the middle of all of it.
We've got battles for first in Saginaw, Jackson, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing and Bay City.
So, thanks voters, for serving up another great set of games.
Our MLive Game of the Week polls started last Friday and ended Tuesday, and a perk of winning a MLive Game of the Week poll is that the game is the spotlight of our weekly previews.
One of the MLive Game of the Week winners also will be our statewide MLive Game of the Week winner - and, of course, there is a poll.
Now, on to the Friday previews (will be updated):
Grand Rapids Press: Two girls rivals will help clarify the OK Bronze race when Forest Hills Northern plays at Forest Hills Eastern.
Metro Detroit: Some of state's best in boys basketball will be on display when Detroit Pershing plays at Detroit Cass Tech in a Public School League game
Muskegon Chronicle: The Mason County Central has plenty to remember when it hosts undefeated Shelby - including an early season loss to Shelby on a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Kalamazoo Gazette: Rivalry, revenge and first place in the Wolverine East is on the line when the Plainwell girls visit Otsego
Flint Journal: Flint Powers will be without Sara Ruhstorfer and Michela Coury when it hosts Flint Southwestern in a Saginaw Valley League South girls game.
Ann Arbor News: The Detroit Catholic Central at Ann Arbor Father Gabriel Richard boys game will tell us a lot about the Catholic High School League - and raise money for Mott Children's Hospital.
Bay City Times: Unionville-Sebewaing travels to Reese with the loser likely to be in trouble Greater Thumb Conference West Division boys race. Both are coming off their first league loss last week.
Lansing: It's a matchup of quality guards when the Grand Ledge girls team visits Holt in a critical Capital Area Activities Conference Blue Division game.

And my friends think it's pretty cool.After his father proposed the idea and Michael expressed interest, the two set up a rigorous training program, which culminated in one Chilly Hilly each day for four consecutive days.It's an awful lot to ask of an 11-year-old kid, to focus on a goal that distant, said Steve. But he never lost focus. I was really impressed.Steve also said Michael was an inspiration, to many riders, mostly older and much heavier, that may never have continued riding if they didn't see an 11-year-old out there doing it, too.The Hopkins duo rode recumbent bicycles and kept an average speed of 13.34 miles an hour.

Fannie and Freddie Resist Reducing Principals: Report Suggests Pilot Program
by Amy Lillard
For this and other reasons, a growing number of economists, investors, academics, and consumer advocates are calling for organized principal reduction as the most cost-effective way to avoid the pain and pricetag of foreclosure for certain borrowers. But Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two biggest mortgage finance companies in the country, are resisting this move.
A report issued by the Center for American Progress on March 29 revealed that the two government-controlled mortgage giants, which own or guarantee more than 3 million underwater mortgages, have a rule against lowering principals on loans, a rule issued by their regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).
The FHFA has thus far refused to change their stance, citing analyses that suggest other forms of relief like loan modifications are better for borrowers and taxpayers. However, increasing numbers of housing experts, private analysts, and even the Obama Administration, cite other statistics and reports indicating that forgiving principal balances is necessary for stabilizing the market and limiting foreclosures.
The report was a public step into this fray, and included a proposal for a principal reduction pilot program.
The goal, according to the Center for American Progress, is to avoid another huge wave of foreclosures, and the disastrous impact they have on borrowers and the general economy. Principal reductions are effective for deeply underwater borrowers facing long-term hardship, those borrowers who can't justify making expensive monthly payments on an investment that has turned sour. But with more equity in their homes, statistics show, homeowners are more likely to continue with their mortgage and avoid delinquency.
The proposal program would entail "shared appreciation" modifications. Fannie or Freddie would agree to write down principals on deeply underwater loans. In exchange, borrowers would provide a portion of the future appreciation on the home. Both sides would benefit, contends the report authors.
The borrowers that would benefit the most, and that would make most sense from a broad economic perspective, would be decided loan by loan. But the authors suggest borrowers that:

Heisey avoids arbitration
The Reds and outfielder Chris Heisey avoided arbitration on Thursday by agreeing to a one-year contract worth $1.76 million, MLB.com confirmed. It was first reported by ESPN. com's Jerry Crasnick.
Arbitration eligible for the second time, Heisey received a raise from the $1.325 million he made last season. He batted .237/.279/.415 in 2013 with nine home runs and 23 RBIs over 87 games as he also missed time with a hamstring injury.
The deal with the 29-year-old Heisey comes ahead of Friday's deadline for clubs and arbitration-eligible players to exchange salary figures.

Visual Reliance and Visual Advantage

Visual Reliance and Visual Advantage. In Clinical Aphasiology Conference: Clinical Aphasiology Conference (2012 : 42nd : Lake Tahoe, CA : May 20-25, 2012) / : (2012).
Full text available as:
Visual input improves speech comprehension when auditory signals are degraded due to background noise (Sumby & Pollack, 1954) or hearing impairments (Walden, Prosek, & Worthington, 1975). Listeners strategically put greater focus on visual information to augment impoverished auditory information. This advantage of visual reliance is routinely utilized at clinical settings for adults with neurogenic communication disorders. Individuals experiencing auditory comprehension deficits are frequently encouraged by clinicians to look at speakers' faces during daily conversations. Despite the presumed advantage of visual information and the routine recommendation on the use of visual cues, there is a lack of research regarding the way individuals with brain lesions utilize visual information.

Only if you add raw meat.
I am just starting this lifestyle, in fact, today is my first day. Since March I have been drinking green smoothies every day. I use one cup of blueberries, one cup of strawberries, several cups of either spinach, kale, swiss chard, beet greens or escarole plus two cups of water. Occasionally I will use coconut water instead of plain water. Sometimes I add some chia seed or coconut flakes to the smoothie.
Is it okay to keep up this practice? I do not consume any other fruit, so the two cups would be my fruit servings for the day which is okay since I have a lot of weight to lose and want to limit the sugar intake.
Only if you add raw meat.

><((((º> ¸.·´¯`·.¸¸><((((º>¸.·´¯`·.¸¸><((((º>¸.·´¯`·.¸¸><(( ((º>
If you have a lot of weight to lose and you want to lose it at a reasonably fast rate, you really might want to consider drastically reducing your fruit intake. Especially considering you're likely insulin/leptin resistant. We're talking maybe 1/4 cup a day max, especially if you plan to eat tons of veggies. Many people do well completely eliminating fruit while attempting weight loss.
Agreed. Two cups of berries is a lot of sugar.
Additionally, you should be aware that raw cruciferous vegetables (such as kale) contain a number of goitrogens which are more or less eliminated by cooking them. I wouldn't recommend daily intake of raw cruciferous veggies.
I wouldn't be too worried about the fruit. A cup of blueberries and a cup of strawberries comes to ~30g carb, about half of which is fructose. That's a perfectly safe intake.
Give me liberty. Exploration of other options will be vigorously discouraged.
Wondering something sciencey? Ask me in my Ask a Biochemist Thread
MG, do you recommend cooking cabbage?
TinaC, if it were me, I would not have that much fruit in one sitting. As someone that started this with wonky blood sugars, 2 cups of fruit, even berries would cause me to be hungry in about 1-2 hours after consuming, especially if this is breakfast. I now only have fruit at the end of lunch or dinner after consuming a descent meal with meat and fat and veggies. And, while I'm in weight loss mode, I would have a small portion.
Where's Darth to tell you to add some potatoes to it?
I would only eat it uncooked if it were fermented, which also decreases goitrogen content, or if the dish looked really delicious. A little bit here and there won't kill you, I just wouldn't make a habit of it.
Give me liberty. Exploration of other options will be vigorously discouraged.
Wondering something sciencey? Ask me in my Ask a Biochemist Thread
I will be cutting out the smoothies then. I have an enlarged thyroid and don't want to make it worse. Thanks for the replies.

Liverpool – Liverpool High School sophomore shortstop Alicia Hansen ripped a two-strike single up the middle to open the fourth inning.
The hit broke up Cicero-North Syracuse senior pitcher Sydney O'Hara's attempt at throwing a third consecutive no-hitter to open the season.
O'Hara finished with a two-hit gem over five innings - the other hit was a wind-blown single in the fifth. She struck out 12 and watched as reliever Kalet Lenart finished up the last two innings as the Northstars defeated the Warriors 12-0 in a CNYCL National high school softball contest on Thursday.
When it was over and the field emptied, O'Hara pulled out the four pieces of Double-Bubble gum stuffed in her cheek, something she only chews when on the bench. She caught a flying embrace from Hansen. The two players, and close friends, laughed and posed for pictures.
"She's the one I fear the most in the lineup," said O'Hara. "I love Alicia. (Sigh) I may have to get her after the game for that."
O'Hara has put together a stunning start to the 2013 season for the Northstars. She has two no-hitters, a two-hitter, three wins, one walk and has yet to give up a run. O'Hara has struck out 49 batters in 19 innings.
On Wednesday against Central Square, she came within an out – and an error - of a perfect game.
After throwing seven one-hitters a year ago, the notion of coming out of the box with two no-hitters and flirting with a third is the stuff of fantasy.
"I was like, 'Wow. Where did that come from? Especially senior year,'" she said of the no-hitters.
On Thursday, she had her same hard stuff, even on a day with a stiff breeze. She struck out the first eight batters in the Liverpool order. The ninth batter fouled out to third.
Hansen is an aggressive hitter. C-NS catcher Lindsey Silfer said she never knows what to call against Hansen because she is so fierce at the plate. The Liverpool leadoff hitter swung for the fences on O'Hara's first pitch of the game, fouling it back to the screen. In the fourth, she battled down O'Hara to the wire before lasering a fastball back up the middle.
At that point, C-NS had a 10-0 lead. The Northstars scored seven runs in the second, all with two outs. There were three walks in the inning and two errors. Amy VanHoven had a two-run single in the rally.
Silfer has been O'Hara's catcher since the fourth grade. She said such moments used to frustrate the pitcher. Not anymore.
"I just think she's been working at pitching her whole life so she's gotten to a really good point in her career and she's just going to keep doing better," said Silfer, who had three hits and scored twice in the victory. "She's a lot more confident in herself than last year and she's a lot more confident in her pitches."
"I knew I wasn't going to give up no hits the whole season," O'Hara said. "I was kind of glad she got the hit off me. Me and Alicia are really good friends."
O'Hara is a second generation pitcher under former C-NS coach Kerry Bennett, who was fired at the end of last season. O'Hara's mother, Michele, pitched for Bennett in the mid-1980s. That relationship leads to some good-natured teasing between mother and daughter. Sydney said she is only too happy to point out the radar gun goes about 12 mph faster when she uncorks a fastball.
"I'm proud," said Michele. "She's such a better pitcher than I was."
O'Hara wears a sparkly headband along with a blue bow to pull back her blond hair. The bow includes the white initials. "TMF." It stands for Taylor McKenzie Fleming, a former C-NS student who died in December of 2011 from injuries sustained in an automobile crash. Fleming played softball and was a close friend of O'Hara's.
After the game on Thursday, the mention of Fleming produced instant tears.
"I just play every game for her," said O'Hara, wiping her cheeks. "She helps me. She helps me. If I'm behind a batter, my goal is no walks, so if I'm behind in the count, I'm like, 'Come on Taylor. Help me here. Help me here. Get her out.' So far, it's helped me. I've had one walk (in three games). I know she's with me."
Cicero-North Syracuse coach Mary Beebe said O'Hara has a "very good presence" on the mound, which is growing in command with each strong outing. She said that presence calms her team, which is 4-0 going into Saturday games in Binghamton.
"It serves everybody well," Beebe said. "She's doing well on the mound."

One of America's largest student housing operators has entered the UK market after buying a large portfolio of assets from the collapsed Opal Group for £300 million.
Greystar Student Living, in partnership with the investment bank Goldman Sachs, has exchanged contracts to buy 21 student accommodation schemes previously managed by Opal.
The deal marks Greystar's debut in the UK's student accommodation sector, which is becoming increasingly popular with investors as British universities, particularly those in London, remain oversubscribed with an under-supply of about 160,000 student places a year. The rising student numbers is driving demand for high-quality student housing.

PISCATAWAY — So Hunterdon Central High's surreal journey through an historically significant season ended like this, on the icy artificial turf of High Point Solutions Stadium, with a championship celebration still ongoing as the lights were gradually shutting down.
The Red Devils had finished off a 21-0 rout of top-seeded Manalapan just minutes earlier, and Kevin Ioannidis gestured towards the scoreboard at the north end of the field.
"Before the season, we knew we were this team," said the senior linebacker. "We knew we would be here. We knew what we were capable of. But it hasn't really all set in yet. I can't fathom this yet."
He likely had plenty of company Sunday night.
After concluding its regular-season schedule with four straight losses, Hunterdon Central (8-4) decisively swept through its three playoff encounters, capped by the shutout of previously-unbeaten Manalapan in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group 5 final.
A sterling defensive effort and clutch offensive performances by quarterback Michael Knight, tailback Jason Cabinda and wideout Ryan Dunleavy, all seniors, carried No. 7 seed HCHS to its first sectional championship since 2007. No other team in state playoff history has earned a title after dropping its final four regular-season games.
Knight had suffered a broken leg Oct. 4 against Westfield and Cabinda underwent an emergency appendectomy 16 days later, and their absence from the lineup was an immense factor in the Devils' four-game slide — just as their return had the precise same effect in the dramatic climax to the campaign.
"We felt we could do it if we got our health back," said Central Head Coach Matt Perotti between accepting congratulations from well-wishers. "And we got our health back just in time, and the powers that be allowed us . . . My goodness, what an unbelievable adventure. It was an adventure. It really was."
Knight, who completed eight of 15 passes for 182 yards and had two intercepted in the challenging conditions, found it difficult to sum up his emotions as he headed for the team bus.
"I don't even know, man," he said. "I don't know how to put my feelings into words right now. It was just a very roller-coaster of a season."
But it was a smooth ride once the playoffs began, with HCHS outscoring its three opponents by an aggregate difference of 87-7.
Manalapan (11-1), which knocked off the Devils in last year's playoff semifinals, was merely the final overwhelmed victim. The Braves, who needed to rally to edge last seed Brick Memorial 14-13 in their playoff debut before rolling past Sayreville, brought a well-balanced attack into the contest.
But it was nowhere to be found against Central. Manalapan managed a grand total of 75 yards, including 27 on the ground, and had just three first downs in each half. Senior back Tyler Leonetti, the Braves' top rusher this year with 937 yards, had just 58 on 19 carries Sunday on a field that had been covered with snow during the day's previous game between Phillipsburg and Mendham.
The snow stopped and the field had been cleared by the time the CJ Group 5 final began but there were still icy, snow-coated patches here and there. The air temperature was also below freezing.
"Their run game with 32 (Leonetti) and bouncing outside with the iso," replied Perotti when asked what the Devils' defense was most concerned with. "We had to stop their power, and if we stopped their power I thought we had a great opportunity to win this game. And we stopped their power."
The Devils also put the clamps on speedy 6-foot-3 wideout Saeed Blacknall, who'll be playing for Rutgers next year, with cornerback Dunleavy the primary cover man with deep help from Kevin Wachter. Blacknall had four catches for 39 yards.
HCHS also came through with five quarterback sacks, two by Cabinda.
"Today our offense had some trouble with the ball being so slippery," said defensive tackle and captain Albert Polito, "but the defense just kept the goose egg on the board. We knew Blacknall is a tremendous receiver and their quarterback (Dan Anerella) throws the ball very well.
"So we knew we had to cover 10 (Blacknall) and get pressure on the quarterback. They also had a very tough running game that had to be stopped, and that's what we did."
The Braves found HCHS's running game — comprised of the brutish, relentless charges of the 6-foot-2, 230-pound Cabinda — to be quite difficult to stop. The Penn State-bound Cabinda came on strong following the halftime break and finished the night with 182 yards on 35 carries.
Cabinda, who had 64 yards at the intermission, scored Central's first touchdown from two yards out with 8:20 left in the game and broke loose for a 39-yarder just over four minutes later. Penn State Head Coach Bill O'Brien was among those in attendance at the game.
As things turned out, of course, senior Stephen Barr's 20- and 24-yard field goals in the opening half would've been enough to win this one.
Dunleavy's 18-yard punt return to the Manalapan 45-yard line set up Central's first scoring opportunity late in the first quarter. One play later Knight hit senior wideout Max Miller on the left-side slant for a 30-yard gain to the 11, and Barr booted a 24-yarder after the drive stalled.
The Devils, helped by tight end Dan Scassera's 23-yard reception, advanced to the MHS 21 on their next series but Barr's 38-yard field goal attempt, possibly hindered by a high snap, sailed wide.
A third-and-nine pass to Miller for a 34-yard gain set up Central at the MHS 5 late in the half and, after three Cabinda runs netted just a yard, Barr came in to kick another field goal for a 6-0 halftime cushion.
Central finally put the first TD on the board in the final period. One play after Cabinda's 70-yard scoring run was nullified by a holding penalty, pushing the Devils back to their 33, Knight faked a handoff to Cabinda going left, then rolled right and lofted a pass to Dunleavy, who made the catch at the MHS 40 and raced to the 2 before being tackled. Cabinda scored on the next play.
"We'd called that play-action a couple times," said Knight, "but I had to check down shorter. I couldn't hit it over the top. But we knew they were biting on Jason and also not respecting me as a runner because I'd been out. But once I got out of the pocket I saw I could hit Dunleavy, so I went on top and we got it."
Scassera made a diving catch for the two-point conversion and the HCHS lead was up to 14-0.
Cabinda applied the coupe de grace to the victory with 3:55 remaining when, from the Matawan 39, he burst through the middle, cut to his right and outlegged defenders as he stretched to the pylon for the TD.
Manalapan's best scoring chance came in the very early stages of the contest, when linebacker Chris Noesges picked off a pass on the game's second play and returned it 19 yards to the Central 26.
But Leonetti gained just three yards on two carries and Comfort then sacked Anerella for an 8-yard loss before a deep fourth-down pass fell incomplete.
Still trailing just 6-0, MHS moved into Central territory again late in the third quarter before a fourth-and-one run through the middle was stopped and the Devils took over at their 35 less than a minute into the final stanza.
Wachter also intercepted a pass intended for Blacknall at the HCHS 47 with 7:21 left before Cabinda's fumble gave the ball back to the Braves three plays later. By then, there was little doubt as to the game's outcome.

For the second game in a row, Derry City struggled to create chances, this time against Limerick, as the sides played out a scoreless draw in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division at a sun drenched Brandywell.
Limerick could have snatched all three points as Rory Gaffney was inches away from setting-up Derry old boy Tam McManus in the second half.
While the best chance of the match came after 80 minutes but Ryan Curran's close-range header from Patrick McEleney's inch-perfect delivery was straight at Barry Ryan.
The only talking point in the first half from this encounter came before the game with the news that Derry boss Roddy Collins had dropped duo Rory Patterson and Shane McEleney from his squad.
While Patrick McEleney and Dean Jarvis were also dropped to the bench from the side that drew at Bray Wanderers on Friday night with David Elebert and Raymond Foy getting their first starts of the season.
Neither side created a chance in what was a dreadful first half with Gaffney's long throws the visitor's only real threat, while an off target Enda Curran strike was the best City could create.
The stroll in the sunshine display continued after the break but it was the visitor's who went close to breaking the deadlock on 74 minutes when Gaffney's left wing centre just missed substitute McManus.
Derry had a half chance themselves a minute later but Michael Duffy's left-footed effort went the wrong side of Barry Ryan's post and hit the side netting.
Moments later substitute McEleney's left wing in-swinging free-kick right into the six yard would have found Elebert, but Samuel Oji's last-ditch clearance denied the big centre back a certain goal.
The best chance of the match fell to the home side on 81 minutes when McEleney's teasing right wing cross found an unmarked Curran at the back post, but the substitute's close-range header was straight at Ryan.
Soon after Limerick nearly won the game when a tremendous long-range free-kick by Shane Tracy, which had Doherty beaten, sailed just over the bar.
Derry City: Doherty, Collins, Byrne, Elebert, Barry (Jarvis 67); Duffy, Foy, Molloy, McGovern (R Curran 56); Stewart (McEleney 70), E Curran.
Limerick: Ryan, Kelly, Folan, Oji, Williams; Duggan, Agyemang (McManus 59), Hughes; Mann (Rainsford 69), Gaffney, Tracy.
Referee: Paul Tuite (Dublin).

By Dan King - Newcastle United Club Reporter
Welsh tenor Gwyn Hughes Jones will perform Bread Of Heaven in tribute to the late Gary Speed before Newcastle's home game against Chelsea on Saturday.
Hailing from Llanbedrgoch, Anglesey, he made his professional operatic debut in 1995 with Welsh National Opera as Ismaele in Nabucco. Among the roles he has sung for the company are Duca in Rigoletto, Rodolfo in La Boheme, Nemorino in L'Elisir d'Amore, the title role in Gounod's Faust and most recently Pinkerton in Madame Butterfly and Don José in Carmen.
He has also performed roles for other British companies and in Europe and America. Jones' extensive concert repertoire includes Verdi's Requiem and Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde.
He has appeared with many orchestras, among them the Academia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Trondheim Symfoniorkester, the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Flanders Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Sinfonietta and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Jones will lead the 52,000-strong crowd in a rendition of the hymn while supporters in the East Stand hold up black and white cards showing the number 11 - the shirt Speed wore at Newcastle.
All supporters will be provided with hymn sheets at the turnstiles, and upon completion of the hymn a minite's applause will take place.

Milwaukie Mayor Jeremy Ferguson announced Tuesday that he has exited the race for Clackamas County Board of Commissioners.
Ferguson said he withdrew from the race to focus on immediate personal and family needs. "While I was on a recent humanitarian trip to Haiti, I decided that at this time there are ways in which I can more effectively help my family as well as the less fortunate," he said.
In July, Ferguson announced he would challenge sitting commissioner Jim Bernard in the November 2014 election. Bernard, a former Milwaukie mayor, is the board's longest serving member.
Ferguson left his job with Portland Streetcar in August so he could campaign "unencumbered" from the city of Portland. His campaign officially began in October.
Ferguson said he will continue to serve as mayor and work to complete several ongoing projects, including the restoration of Kellogg Lake and stabilization of the city's finances. Ferguson said he has not ruled out the possibility of a future run.
Boring Community Planning Organization chairman Steve Bates and navy pilot Justin Gombos are still in the running to unseat Jim Bernard on the county board.
Ferguson was appointed interim mayor in 2009, shortly after then-mayor Bernard resigned to join the board of commissioners. Ferguson was then elected mayor in a May 2009 special election, and re-elected in 2010. Ferguson's current term ends in December.
