CANADA STOCKS-TSX drops 1 percent, squeezed by financial, energy losses
(Adds market developments, analyst's comments)
* TSX down 162.58 points, or 1.15 percent, to 14,031.29
* Nine of the TSX's 10 main groups lower
By Solarina Ho
TORONTO, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell more than 1 percent on Wednesday with financial and energy shares suffering heavy losses as oil prices sank on rising U.S. inventories while concern about China's economy continued to rattle the market.
The index's slide, its eighth in 10 sessions, tracked falls on stock markets around the world. U.S. indexes were also down by about 1 percent.
"Canada's a victim of the rest of the world ... Certainly oil hitting new lows is not good for our market," said Philip Petursson, managing director, capital markets and strategy, at the portfolio advisory group at Manulife Asset Management.
Crude prices sank to nearly 6-1/2-year lows after U.S. data showed an unexpected rise in stockpiles. U.S. crude prices were down 3.8 percent at $41 a barrel late on Wednesday morning.
About half of the weight of the Toronto stock market's key index is comprised of financial and energy names. This does not bode well for the market, Petursson said, noting that a combination of factors were hurting financial stocks, including banks' ties to commodities-related companies and the low interest rate environment.

The Foreign Exchange – 'Right After Midnight' Feat. Sy Smith
If you're looking for R&B that you can dance to that doesn't sound like it was made for teenagers or 20-somethings, why aren't you listening to the Foreign Exchange already?
The North Carolina-based duo's new album, 'Love In Flying Colors,' finds singer/rapper/songwriter Phonte and producer Nicolay further embracing their fondness for the dance floor. That's evident on the latest track to hit the web, 'Right After Midnight,' which features frequent collaborator Sy Smith.
The song sounds like something from the 1980s hey-day of two step-ready R&B that many have tried to re-create over the years only to sound corny or forced. With the Foreign Exchange, it's all natural. The track is also indicative of what to expect on their new album, which they released independently today on their own label, +FE Music.
You can hear 'Right After Midnight' below.

We all know that WP7 is still young, and certainly not perfect. They stated before that they wanted to do fewer things, and do them well, rather than rush out a bug-ridden OS. They are coming out with their copy-paste update, and will soon add better multi-tasking functionality.
Their 'Windows Phone Careers' page includes a position for a 'User Experience Researcher.' This position calls for a master's degree in psychology, so we suppose their are working towards an even more user-friendly, intuitive, and satisfying experience from WP7.
We're glad to see Microsoft not resting on their laurels after a successful launch. The holiday shopping season will obviously be the real proving ground, exposing how successful their half-million dollar ad campaign and ground-up design techniques have been. How about you? Are you getting a Windows Phone 7 device this holiday season, or are you looking at an iPhone or Android device?

Shikhar Dhawan could have been a cat with the proverbial nine lives.
He survived three chances on his way to cracking a match winning 116 as India took a 2-0 lead in the five match Selkon ODI series when they brushed Zimbabwe aside by 58 runs at Harare sports club on Friday.
Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bowl on a pitch that once again offered plenty of assistance for the seamers, that is to say if they put the balls in the right areas.
And, for the first 20 overs of India's innings, the seamers did exactly that as India slumped to 65/4, before Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik pulled their team out of the mire with a fifth wicket partnership of 167 that gave India more than a fighting chance.
The innings got off to a dramatic start when Brian Vitori who replaced Tinotenda Mutumbodzi had Rohit Sharma caught behind with his very first ball he bowled.
There was more drama to follow when Dhawan recieved the first of his three lives when Kyle Jarvis had him caught behind when he had just three runs to his name, and with the total on 14.
More spice was added to the pot when Virat Kholi, Wednesday's man of the match was caught low down at mid on by Malcolm Waller.
Television replays showed that Waller was just able to grasp the ball, bbut even after Kohli had been given out after several replays, he may possibly find himself in trouble with match referee Chris Broad for showing a hint of reluctancy to leave the field.
Dhawan was then dropped by Brendan Taylor when he was on 14.
Meanwhile, Brian Vitori was bowling his heart out from the golf course end, as he then got the wicket of Ambadi Rayudu, well caught by prosper Utsey for five off 25 balls.
Suresh Raina then followed soon after, and the growing crowd were moved to song as they sensed their team with a chance of possibly leveling the series.
But, their singing and dancing slowly changed to mones of despair and then shouts of outrage and anger, as the fielding became sloppy and the bowling erratic as Dhawan went on to post his fourth century in ODI cricket.
The partnership was eventually broken when Dhawan was run out for 116 off 127 balls, including 11 fours, and two sixes. Dinesh Karthik followed soon after for a splendid 69. But by then, the damage had been done and India finished their innings on 294/8 from their 50 overs. Brian Vitori was the pick of the bowlers with 2/27 from eight overs.
Zimbabwe got off to a promising start, with openers Vusi Sibanda and Sikanda Raza Butt playing delightful shots in an opening partnership of 45 before but fell to a miss timed pull shot for 20.
Hamilton Masakadza (34) and Vusi Sibanda then upped the tempo as they took full advantage of some wayward Indian bowling. But Sibanda was then well caught at mid wicket for 55 of 65 balls, wich included seven fours and two sixes, and after that, the top order crumbled in the face of sustained pressure by the Indian bowlers, as they collapsed from 109/1, to 133/6.
Elton Chigumbura and Prosper Utseya then saved Zimbabwe from total humiliation, thanks to a seventh wicket stand of 88 before Chigumbura departed for 46.
Prosper Utseya then celebrated with a wave of his bat, and an exaggerated leap in the air as he reached his third ODI 50, but, it was all in vain as Zimbabwe finished on 236/9, falling short by 58 runs.
The two teams square up in the third ODI at the same venue on Sunday.

Bank of Canada holds rates, cites deeper euro crisis
By Louise Egan and Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Bank of Canada kept its overnight interest rate at 1 percent on Tuesday, as expected, and gave no suggestion of an impending rate cut even though its view of the European debt crisis has clearly darkened.
The central bank extended a freeze on rates for a 15th straight month. While its statement sounded upbeat on near-term growth in Canada and the United States, it cautioned that both will feel the pinch from a "more pronounced" recession in Europe.
"Conditions in global financial markets have deteriorated as the sovereign debt crisis in Europe has deepened. Additional measures will be required to contain the European crisis," the central bank said starkly.
The bank now sees Europe's economy shrinking more sharply than it previously expected, which could be felt in Canada through financial, confidence and trade channels.
Six weeks ago, when it released quarterly forecasts, the bank had assumed the European crisis would be contained, although central bank chief Mark Carney in late November characterized it as "barely contained."
But the bank's statement was relatively balanced compared to the gloom markets had been expecting, and it poured cold water on the idea of imminent monetary easing.
The Canadian dollar strengthened to C$1.0113 to the U.S. dollar, or 98.88 U.S. cents, from around C$1.0200 immediately before the announcement.
The interest rate futures market showed traders reduced bets on a rate decrease in the coming year. Continued...

Nicolet School District to address morale problems laid bare by staff survey
Some say outside mandates could erode quality of education
Glendale - Staff morale is becoming an issue in the Nicolet School District, a recent survey commissioned by the School Board shows.
Bill Foster of research firm School Perceptions presented survey findings to the Nicolet School Board last week, which he said should help the board and administration in future decision making.
"The purpose of doing this is really planning and establishing priorities," Foster said.
The survey of 128 staff - a 90 percent participation rate - indicates a number of concerns and suggestions from Nicolet staff about a range of topics, from low morale among staff, issues with overachieving and underachieving students, communication between district staff, and professional development, among others.
Superintendent Rick Monroe said it's important to "take the temperature" of staff after the controversy of Act 10 in 2011 and the loss of most collective bargaining, among curricular changes at the federal level and evaluation changes on the state level. Foster agreed that the changing environment is having its effect.
"There's a lot of stress on teachers in general," Foster told the board, "which affects morale."
District staff cited a number of reasons for low morale in a comment summary provided to the board by Foster.
Fear of young staff leaving
Several mentioned new state laws which restrict pay increases and supersede the old pay scale that rewarded teachers for experience and professional development.
"(New teachers) are stuck at the bottom of the pay scale with little to no opportunities to move up," wrote one respondent, "and will leave to seek out other professions."
Some criticized building and district administration and leadership, while others brought up increased workloads and added responsibilities. Many responded that the district doesn't do an adequate job with underachieving students. Others mentioned the contentious political climate regarding education in Wisconsin.
"We may never again feel as valued as we once did, which is too bad," wrote another respondent, "but we may have to accept it as the 'new normal.' "
Special Education teacher and President of the Nicolet Education Association Robert Rinka said the main driver behind lowered morale is the fear that, as a result of budget cuts and shifting responsibilities, teachers won't be able to teach adequately.
Staying at a high level
"The theme here is making sure that students' needs are being properly met," said Rinka in an interview. "It's all about knowing that, when students are walking through the door, that they're being served at the highest level."
He said he would recommend to the board that it take measures to "stay the course" in terms of programs and staffing, and that even slight reductions are felt throughout the district.
"It doesn't take much to, all of a sudden, erode what's been built up," Rinka said. "That's a concern. It can be the small things."
Foster pointed out that the board should take comments about administrators with a grain of salt, likening them to reviews students may have of teachers.
"Don't use a survey to do a performance evaluation," said Foster, though he later said that after the board establishes a plan to address survey criticisms, "let's hold the administration responsible for accomplishing those goals."
Board member Morton Grodsky said it may be difficult for the district to affect morale with so many changes being made on the state and national level.
"A lot of (things mentioned in the survey comments) are outside pressures for us," Grodsky said. "Everything is changing, curriculum-wise. It's difficult to say we're hammering this down now. Things are changing every day."
Monroe said the board will begin to come up with a list of priorities and possible solutions at a January meeting, after taking time to consider the survey responses.

|Multiple "follows" attachments not working.
|Wed, 29 May 2013 20:35:08 GMT
Hello, I am trying to add multiple attachments during creation of a document. Specifically, I am using this information: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Document_API#Multiple_Attachments The problem is, it is not working. And I am not getting a response at all. And the Erlang user window isn't showing anything. However, I can put regular documents in. All day long. I get a good response, and the Erlang user windows shows the 'PUT' request with a happy ending (so to speak). I've gone as far as to strip my code down to where it create something that looks almost the same as the example. And I even write it to a file just before sending it, so I can see it. It is pasted below. But no reply. Total silence on the socket and in the Erlang window. Any advice is appreciated. The document is purely a carrier for the attachments, and I wish to avoid putting all the attachments into the doc one at a time. NOTE: Why is 'content-type' called 'content_type' inside the JSON? (I rearranged the names because my JSON encoder is putting them alphabetically) --------PASTE----------------------------------------- PUT /images/010123456789 HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: multipart/related;boundary="ABC010123456789" --ABC010123456789 content-type: application/json { "_attachments" : { "boo.txt" : { "content_type" : "text/plain", "follows" : true, "length" : 21 }, "far.txt" : { "content_type" : "text/plain", "follows" : true, "length" : 20 } } } --ABC010123456789 this is 21 chars long --ABC010123456789 this is 20 chars lon --ABC010123456789--

It is my opinion that this company might be guilty of bankruptcy fraud because they have a vechicle parked behind their warehouse that was to be surrendered to the Lien Holder by their employee (who filed bankruptcy). It seems that if the bankruptvy petition said it was to be surrendered to the Lien Holder it should be parked at Lendmark and not concealed at Cleaning Stuff located ar 2612 Hwy 41 South SE

Jordan is a range of emotions these days. She can go from crying about something super silly to running around and giggling at the top of her lungs in a flash. It's mind blowing at times. The worst is when I wake her in the morning. She wants to go to school with me dropping her off, but she doesn't want to get dressed or get out from under the covers in the morning without a dramatic fight. But minutes later she's happy and bounding down the stairs for breakfast. It's exhausting for mommy.
Jordan was excited yesterday when I showed her a new horse-themed outfit I got her to celebrate the end of her equestrian therapy sessions for the season. In the last month or so she's sprouted from a size where 3T was slightly big to where 4T is kind of too short as well. I have to put her in shorts or leggings when she wears 4's just so it looks appropriate. So I'm already buying size 5. And for some reason I'm having a hard time going shopping for a child that size. Size 5 moves her out of the baby sections at the stores. I'm buying size XS or S in the girls' section.
Now that makes me moody.
Anyway – we have some exciting plans in the coming month. She's meeting up with a group of limb-different kids and their families this upcoming weekend. Jordan's very excited about that. Next month we're getting Jordan's new helper arm in Chicago and about a week later we're heading to the St. Louis area for Camp No Limits! Very busy and exciting times for us.

The original traveling studio for oil colors, watercolors, pastels or drawing gear was created by Roger Jullian more than half a century ago. Create art anywhere with the folding easels from Jullian. This marvelous easel folds to a sketchbox size and opens up in just moments to form a full easel. Both the Original and Half Box easels have 3 telescoping legs for use sitting down or flat. Big when you need it; small when you don't.
Jullian Original French Easel
Jullian Half Box French Easel
Both Easels Include:
Although knock-off models look the same they just don't measure up. The Jullian uses only naturally dried white beech wood. This wood will turn a golden brown color and is perfect for an outdoor easel. Jullian uses only heavy duty brass hardware not tin plated brass that wears off. Jullian assembles the easel with rivets (not screws like other manufacturers) so parts don't fall off—a problem when screws loosen.

Gas shutoff for fireplace
My new construction home has 3 fireplaces. All 3 have a shutoff valve located within 6' of the fireplace, all the same type - requiring a key to be inserted to turn the valve. For one of them, the shutoff is inside of an adjacent cabinet and not in plain sight.
The city inspection report (done before i purchased the home) says 'gas shutoff in downstairs fireplace'. I wasn't sure what this meant since all 3 have a shutoff valve. When I emailed the supervisor at the city he responded that the shutoff 'is not an allowable one. This type requires a key to open it which defeats the purpose of being able to shut it off in an emergency in the event the key is missing'.
I have never heard of this. Is there some other type of shutoff that needs to be installed within 6' of the fireplace in addition to the key?
Any advice would be very much appreciated....
Requirements can vary city to city. That said, I just recently finished a major remodel that included the installation of a three sided fireplace - with a gas valve that requires a key. All was inspected and it was not an issue.
That is correct each city can have their own little codes. I just need one for each item where it t's off the main.
Code or no Code common sense here if I had a gas fireplace that had a shutoff that needed a key I would permanently attach a key to it somehow or I would have a backup valve to be able to shut off fast no key.
I am not saying don't follow codes but go even one better. Just think about what you would do in an emergency. Thats all.
PS: I would also make sure everybody in the house knew where the valves are and what to do in an E.
your valve cannot be concealed in a cabinet
I second that:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I agree the cabinet thing is a problem, and I'm willing to move it out of the cabinet.
My confusion is that the inspector says the key-type valve is not allowable. I've never seen any other type of gas valve in a woodburning fireplace with a log lighter - i think they are installed that way to prevent it from being turned on by a child, etc.
I've emailed the inspector and asked him to clarify what an allowable type is, or if multiple shut-offs are required.
It should have a Pilot light or electronic ignition safety built in that even though the main gas valve supply is open the safety circuit is still in play.
There are tamper proof gas valves that kids can not operate but can be operated by adults by pushing a spring type lock and moving the control handle. Can not remember the company or name it's been a while back.
Just to set the record straight, that valve is a "service" shut off, not an "emergency" shut off. If you have an emergency, you need to evacuate your family and turn off the gas at the meter.
Does the valve need a key or has the handle been removed to gain clearance? Either way, the gas valve must be at the appliance, on the same floor ( not beneath the floor ) and readily accessible. National fuel gas code.
Common sense dictates get out immediately. Most people don't even know where their gas meter is and don't have the right tool to shut it off.
I know that for a FACT.
I agree that common sense is not common.
That valve is there so you can isolate it from the rest of the gas system so you do not have to turn off gas to the entire home when repairing that appliance. While it is quite apparent to professionals in the gas industry, this is a DIY site and most are not pros and they need to be properly educated.
It is quite common in my area for the isolation valve for gas fireplaces to be placed in a cabinet or it is a keyed valve placed in the wall or floor.
Not the main at the meter. They would leave that to the Fire Dept to shutoff.
Here in TN the key valve shutoff has to be within arms reach of the fireplace opening. Now what equals arm length is up to the inspector I guess.

Schlumberger (SLB) is among three highly rated oil-related companies on IBD's Bolting RS Lines Screen Of The Day. All 3 hit closing highs Monday.
The Relative Strength Line measures how a stock performs vs. the S&P 500 index. RS lines hitting new highs before the actual stock does is a bullish sign.
Schlumberger, one of the most recognized companies in the oil industry, leads the trio. It provides services from Texas to Saudi Arabia and other global oil centers.
The technology, services and project management behemoth, with $46 billion in annual revenue, has seen its RS Rating rise from 83 to 92 over the past eight weeks.
Its stock price jumped 7% on June 25 after several analysts raised their price targets. At Schlumberger's annual investor conference the day before, the company provided long-term guidance that topped Wall Street expectations.
Shares edged up fractionally to 117.95 on the stock market Monday.
Energy Transfer Equity (ETE), a master limited partnership, provides pipeline and storage services through its various holdings — including Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), Sunoco Logistics Partners (SXL) and Regency Energy Partners (RGP). Operations include shipping natural gas throughout the U.S. to electric utilities and power plants.
On Thursday Energy Transfer announced that its board had approved building a pipeline to transport natural gas from processing facilities in the oil-rich Marcellus and Utica Shale fields to numerous markets in the U.S. and Canada. The expansion could significantly boost revenue and earnings in coming quarters.
Energy Transfer, which boasts a 96 RS Rating, up from 92 eight weeks ago, rose 1% Monday.
Halliburton (HAL), like Schlumberger, is a globally recognized name and has long provided services such as oil reservoir completion.
Business is booming as oil companies gear up after a difficult, wintry first quarter that lowered the number of active wells early this year.
The Houston-based service provider has a 93 RS Rating and has reeled off three straight quarters of double-digit earnings-per-share growth despite the bad weather. Its stock climbed 1% Monday.

Genesis of the China-Central Africa cooperation illustrated by the case of Congo: ties forged between Chinese and Africans before and during the colonial periodde Julien Bokilo, le 13 novembre 2011
Chinese and Africans were already in contact in the middle ages through naval technological progress and trade. But the most remarkable period, is the first Ming period, in the fifteenth century, where Cheng-Ho led seven major naval expeditions in East Africa [1]. Thanks to archeological sources, some evidences of the Chinese presence of the above events can be found on the African coast and neighboring islands. [2] However the people of equatorial Africa and China had their first contact during the colonial period, in 1929. The relationship was built during the construction of the Congo Ocean Railway. Technical difficulties, due to passing through the forests and to material and food supply defects, generated many deaths among black workers. Those were the days of forced labor in which the technical means were still rudimentary and the chores fatal. Some workers even died during transportation, victims of tropical diseases, lung disease, accidents and demoralization. The low density of the population in this region reinforces the sadness of the picture. The mortality rate rose to 30% among new recruits [3]. Such difficulties generated mass fatalities between 1925 and 1929. Georges Boussenot wrote:
The losses were carefully calculated and reported from January 1st, (theoretical starting date of labor) to April 30, 1929 - in percentages of deaths on total men in construction sites:
- Coastal Division (Mayombe) … … … .19,29%- Division
Brazzaville … … … … … … .. 1%
Percentage of deaths in the transition camps:
- Brazzaville … … … … … … … … … … .1, 87%.
The number of percentage of total staff employed reached 11.98%. [4]
Difficulties led to desertion of black workforce. In this chaos, French authorities used Chinese workers to back up native laborers. Recruitment of Chinese took place in Kwang-Chou-Wan and Hong Kong. Lire l'article »

Fifa needs to bare its own fangs over vampire striker
Three bites and you are out.
That should be football's response to a third Luis Suarez biting scandal in four years, this one damaging the image of the World Cup in Brazil, a tournament otherwise elevating the game to new heights.
If the Uruguay striker is allowed to play again, as no doubt he will unfortunately, he should be forced to wear a muzzle or at least a mouthguard to protect opponents. This is certain: the rest of us need saving from "Chewy" Suarez, whose outbursts are obviously beyond his emotional control.
If Suarez is found guilty of biting Italian Giorgio Chiellini - and photos certainly appeared to show fresh bite marks on the defender's shoulder - it should spell the end of his career.
More Suarez news to sink your teeth into:
Suarez brings bitey bonus for 167 gamblers
Fifa urges to get tough over Suarez bite
FIFA charges Suarez over biting
Unfortunately, the maximum penalty is 24 games or two years and international bans don't traditionally extend to the club scene. It will be galling to see Suarez turn up in the English Premier League next season, where he could laugh in our face. Maybe a criminal assault prosecution could be pursued. Perhaps Liverpool will do the decent thing and institute their own ban. Suarez is one of the best players in the world but also a disgrace that needs removing.
Other players do not deserve the indignity, distraction and dangers of facing a man who habitually sinks teeth into flesh, an act that makes most of us sick to the stomach. The rest of us should not have to witness his demented behaviour.
The Uruguay striker went out of his way to attack Chiellini, who reacted with fury. Suarez made a long run to make contact then ducked his head into the Italian's shoulder. The subsequent Suarez dive and pretence of holding his injured mouth was pathetic.
His post-match arrogance and false description of the incident along with ridiculous conspiracy claims by his team, including that Chiellini had an existing injury, rubbed salt in our wounds.
The 27-year-old has been banned twice since 2010 for biting opponents in Holland and England, and it would be no surprise if there were other unreported incidents. Will football really allow him back on the field where he will likely do it again? And then what?
I've read one clever feature which attempted - with empathy - to unravel the Suarez psyche. The man needs help, but it also gets to a point where protecting the game from this appalling, unprecedented form of violence is paramount. So Fifa, please look at the big picture and be as tough as you can.
Mountain to climb
On one hand, the skill and flow of the World Cup games and avalanche of goals is fabulous. Football has never looked better. The highlights include among the best saves in international football, by the Mexican Guillermo Ochoa against Brazil. World Cups need those iconic moments.
On the other hand, this tournament emphasises the mountain the All Whites must climb to give us another World Cup adventure to savour. The new-look All Whites have encouraging levels of skill, but Brazil suggests New Zealand are further off the pace than ever.
There are so many countries with extreme skill levels, meaning a new wave of contenders ready to challenge and beat the old guard.
The romance and magic of the early 1980s All Whites' campaign will never be repeated. The results of 2010 - when Ryan Nelsen's troops drew three games - look just as far away.

Labor Should Drop Its Hypocrisy On China
To the surprise of many, Business Week has long supported the legitimate role of organized labor in the economy. So it is with dismay that we say the labor movement's intense opposition to granting China a permanent normal trade relationship with the U.S. and its opposition to free trade in general appears increasingly selfish and shameful. In the guise of caring about the human rights and working conditions of Chinese people, unions are behaving with blatant protectionism. Of course, unions are entitled to lobby Congress however they see fit. But dressing up their protectionism in sanctimonious blather is too much to stomach.
The truth is that 20 years of open markets and foreign investment has transformed China, creating a large middle class, new entrepreneurs, and a society where people are free to move about. Compared to Mao's era, when the state controlled everything and everyone, the independence of average Chinese has increased immensely.
Only fools could fail to see that China remains a dictatorship. It suppresses democracy and discourages religion. With communism dead as an ideology, the ruling elite uses strident nationalism to generate support among China's masses. Its demand that Taiwan become part of China puts Beijing in direct opposition to the U.S., which is pledged to protect the vibrant market democracy from a military takeover.
Economic isolation is not the solution to these problems. Trade, investment, and free markets can only bolster the forces that historically have led to elections and true democracy, as they have in South Korea and Taiwan. Nor is protectionism the answer to organized labor's problems. Granting China permanent normal trade relations, paving the way for its entry to the World Trade Organization, would bolster growth and jobs in the U.S., even as less competitive industries suffer.
China has, in effect, already joined the WTO. What's left for the U.S. is to benefit from its lower tariffs and more open markets or leave that chance to Japanese and European rivals. If labor wants to protect its members' jobs at the expense of other workers at home or overseas, it should just drop the hypocrisy about human rights.
Who will capture the new electorate of the New Economy? Will either political party be able to reconfigure itself to incorporate one of the fastest-growing segments of the voting population? These are among the most significant

Calls for global effort to battle malaria
The World Health Organisation and UNICEF today appealed for a greater global effort to be made in the battle against malaria, which claims the life of an African child every 30 seconds.
Ninety per cent of the over one million deaths from malaria each year occur in sub-Saharan Africa, where increased drug resistance and a lack of basic facilities like mosquito nets means the disease is on the increase.
It causes more ill-health and loss of life in Africa than any other disease, and it particularly affects children and pregnant women.
UNICEF and the World Health Organisation have called on developed countries to make a greater effort in allocating resources to fighting malaria.
They say there is an urgent need to fund better combination drug therapies, and to provide mosquito nets, with one researcher estimating that the money spent in the USA every year on flea treatment for people's pets would supply every African with a net.

"I was deeply shocked," she says. "It reminded me very much indeed of what happened to Blair. There are so many similarities, it makes you think nothing has changed."
Exactly 30 years ago this month, Lang's close friend Blair Peach, a 33-year-old teacher from New Zealand, died after he was hit on the head while attempting to leave a demonstration in Southall, west London. He had been hit with a heavy implement - still unidentified - by an officer - also unidentified - from what was then known as the Special Patrol Group (SPG, a mobile unit of the Metropolitan Police Service) and had suffered a fractured skull.
Peach's case became a cause célèbre in 1979 and for many years afterwards. The circumstances surrounding his death claimed acres of newsprint; his face - heavily bearded, with dark, earnest eyes - became an icon of early-Eighties political activism. Sustained calls for a public inquiry, joined by 79 MPs, were resisted at the time by the Home Office, yet the inquest, at which 84 witnesses were called and 11 stated that at least one SPG member had attacked Peach, was one of the longest in legal history. As late as 1999, in the face of renewed calls, the New Labour Government ruled out a public inquiry once again, insisting that "lessons have been learnedabout the policing of public order incidents".
Parallels with the death of Ian Tomlinson are by no means precise: Peach was a protester; Tomlinson, who died of a heart attack minutes after the apparent assault, a bystander. And in those Life on Mars days, police behaviour was undoubtedly subject to far less scrutiny.
Yet significant comparisons can be drawn between the two cases. The demonstrations at which Tomlinson and Peach died were both policed using the highly controversial crowd-control tactic known as the "kettle", the penning of people into tightly controlled spaces.
Like Tomlinson, Peach found himself on the wrong side of fixed cordons that allowed no movement away from potential trouble. And like Tomlinson, Blair Peach was trying to go home when he came into "contact" with the police.
The events of that day, 23 April 1979, were "barely believable", says Jo Lang. Then 29, she, too, was a teacher, working in Brick Lane on the eastern fringe of the City. In a week's time, Margaret Thatcher would be elected Prime Minister and in the build-up to that election, political groupings of all kinds were holding rallies. The National Front, an overtly racist organisation, decided to hold one at the Town Hall in Southall, well known for its Asian community. This thinks Lang, was an "act of deliberate provocation"; and it met inevitably fierce opposition, largely organised by the farLeft Anti-Nazi League.
"In those days, the NF rampaged around Brick Lane every weekend," says Lang, "and each Monday I'd go into school and see how horribly distressed the children were. Like Blair, I felt I had to go to the protest in Southall. I wanted to show that the NF's version of London was not mine."
They met in Hackney and drove to Southall in Peach's car. "It was a Monday, but all the shops were closed. The local community was out on strike. Buses weren't running. The police knew that there'd be a massive response from the local community and they were clearly expecting trouble." More than 3,000 police, many on horseback, flooded the Southall neighbourhood.
Peach, Lang and three other friends walked to the Broadway, and joined the demonstration outside the town hall. There were clashes between white skinheads and "pretty angry Asian youths" but Lang maintains that the majority of protesters were peaceful. "We couldn't march. We couldn't go anywhere. Most of the time we were standing in the Broadway, with two police cordons at either end, and all the side streets blocked off. We were penned in.
"At one point, police at the front tried to push us into an even smaller area, and I got knocked over. People landed on top of me, and I remember thinking, 'This isn't good, this is scary' I couldn't possibly have imagined how much worse it was going to get."
At about 5.30pm, she thinks, police began to let them go - only to block their way again minutes later as the situation became increasingly chaotic. "We started to walk away from the town hall down the Broadway and left into Beachcroft Avenue, which was a narrow suburban street and apparently a way out.
"But just as we were leaving, the SPG arrived in two vans. They stopped at the top end of Beachcroft Avenue and jumped out. I remember they had their truncheons drawn and they started running at us. I was extremely scared. It was very intimidating, and it was meant to be.
"One's natural inclination, of course, is to run away in the other direction, which I and two other friends did. We thought Blair was with us."
At the bottom of the avenue, another policeman was "driving" people through an alleyway that led to another street of suburban houses but Lang and her friends realised that Peach was missing. "We decided we had to go back. Obviously there were no mobile phones in those days. We couldn't leave without him. We went back up the road very cautiously but couldn't see Blair anywhere. We started checking all the front gardens and at one point I asked a group of older Asian men if they'd seen him. I described him, and one of them said, 'Yes, he's in there' - pointing to a house. 'He's hurt.'"
In the small front room, Lang found Peach slumped on the sofa. The Atwal family had found him collapsed by their front garden wall, and taken him in.
Later, the Evening Standard tracked down 24-year-old Parminder Atwal, who told a reporter: "As the police rushed past him, one of them hit him on the head with the stick. I was in my garden and saw this quite clearly. He was left sitting against the wall. He tried to get up but he was shivering and looked very strange. He couldn't stand. Then the police came back and told him, 'Move! Come on, move!' They were very rough with him and I was shocked because it was clear he was seriously hurt." It also emerged that someone tried to give Peach a glass of water but that he couldn't hold it.
"There was no blood but he could barely talk," says Lang. "It was obvious that he was badly injured but I didn't think at that point he was going to die. I remember asking him for his car keys, and he indicated that they were in his pocket. He could understand meBut that was the last time I saw him."
An ambulance was called and another member of their party went with him to Ealing General Hospital. His condition deteriorated significantly during the journey - but Peach was alive on arrival. There was another shock waiting for Lang. When she and her friends arrived at A&E a short time after the ambulance, they found two plain-clothes policemen. "They obviously knew what had happened, even then. Absurdly, they tried to interview us there but we wouldn't let them. Meanwhile, Blair had been taken to the operating theatre."
Medical staff told Peach's friends to go home and wait for news and gave them the clothes he'd been wearing. They went to stay at another friend's house in Ealing but at midnight, when they rang the hospital, they were told Blair was dead.
"I'd been on quite a few demos, I suppose, but the idea that someone might die on one was completely unbelievable. This is England, people don't get killed on demos. Of course we stayed up that night in a state of complete shock, trying to understand what had happened."
In the middle of that night, there was a knock on the door of the house in Ealing. Commander John Cass, then head of Scotland Yard's Complaints Investigation Bureau, was standing on the doorstep. He wanted Peach's clothes, which the friends had no choice but to hand over.
Despite years of campaigning, Lang has never discovered exactly how Blair Peach died. No one admitted hitting him and no was ever charged with any criminal offence relating to his death. At the inquest, it emerged that Commander Cass had led an internal investigation, during which a variety of unauthorised weapons, including crowbars, sledgehammers and lead-filled coshes, were found in the lockers of SPG members.
A pathologist maintained that the injury to Peach's head was consistent with a blow from a very heavy, yet soft-edged, instrument - like a cosh or a rubberised police radio. Yet the coroner refused to admit evidence from Cass's investigation and the inquest returned a verdict of death by misadventure.
For Jo Lang, who still teaches in London, the death of her friend at the Southall demo has come "almost to dominate my life". The events are "indelibly marked on my mind. It was an enormously significant event for me, and for lots of people. I remember a policeman saying to me on that demo no one would get into trouble if they just stayed in their houses".
She laughs wryly. "These tactics don't work. When you push and corner people, you make the situation more volatile. And people on both sides are going to lose control. I feel enormous empathy for Ian Tomlinson's family. It's going to be very, very hard for them in the coming months."

Where I stayed
Our second day in Banff started off with another sleep in (we are on holidays after all) and then about 10am we headed up to Sulfur Mountain to the base of the Banff Gondola. In similar fashion to my Capilano Suspension bridge visit we purchased the tickets from the concierge desk in advance so there was no way that I could chicken out when I saw how high and steep this gondola went up the side of the mountain. I didn't even want to look up when we got there so we quickly entered the lower terminal for the gondola. Cam had told me that it was a 6 person car so no need to worry. Well they are either 6 very small people or its a 4 person car. Either way being the off season there was very few people there so we had no wait and a car to ourselves.
Anyone who is scared of heights - this is a must do to get the heart racing. The gondola moves at a speed of 4m / second and your heart beats around the 200 mark as you quickly climb to the top of the tree line
The eight minute ride to the top took forever, but i must admit the view you get of the mountains around and the town of Banff getting smaller and smaller below are amazing and well worth holding my breath for the 8 minute accent to the top. Once at the top there are two outdoor viewing levels that provide an amazing 360degree view around. Unfortunately the walk to the summit lookout was closed as it was still very thick snow up here. On the upper level the railing is painted like a compass, with many Capital cities of the world pointed out, Canberra is 249.6 degrees west south west at 13,312 km.
There is a small cafe and gift shop at the top, but they didn't seem to have any nice breakfast or lunch there (or coffee which was what Cam was after) so after taking heaps of photos we decided to take the decent back down the mountain
At the end of the ride our photo was waiting for us which we coughed up the $15 for before heading to the starbucks (which are literally everywhere) for a much needed hot chocolate to calm the nerves. We then headed back towards the town centre to stop off at the Buffalo Nations Museum on the edge of the Bow River. This museum looks like fort with wooden posts creating the external walls. Unlike yesterdays visit to the Whyte museum, which mainly looked at how white people developed the area, this museum looked at the local Indian nations that occupied the lands and their traditional methods and cultures. Again its a small museum but worth a visit to see a different perspective on the development of the area.
Tomorrow morning we have decided to head up to Jasper via the Icefields Parkway so we headed to the Parks Canada office to collect a pass. This part is pretty confusing, I think we are supposed to already have a pass for the Banff National Park, but because we came in via British Columbia they don't have any toll booths. Anyway we bought a pass that will last us until 4pm the day we leave Jasper so hopefully it will all be good.
Heading back to the hotel we booked our next nights accommodation before our 24 hours of Internet ran out (thus the delay in this posting) before doing a much needed load of washing in the hotel. Harding interesting but definitely necessary. Cam had a headache so I left him in the hotel before heading out for a walk around some of the parks surrounding the downtown area. At the end of the street is Banff park which lies between downtown and the Bow River. As its a nice sunny day there were heaps of people down here having BBQ's or sunbathing. Its only about 10-14 degrees but the sun has some bite to it so you really don't feel the cold until it gets dark or you go in the shade.
I followed the Bow river along a great little trail for a while, but after thinking i was half way to the falls, i read a sign that basically said I hadn't started yet so decided to head back towards the bridge across the river
Heading back into town and looking in a few more shops I found an awesome Christmas Shop (thats right, Christmas even though its May). This had everything you could ever need to decorate the house for Christmas - decorations, stockings, gifts, cards and these awesome miniature village models. This shop is well worth a visit, but could easily result in spending a fortune on all the cute little Christmas things.
Back at the hotel I dragged Cam out of the room for some dinner in the lounge downstairs. Again our sever was an Aussie guy from Bathurst - If it wasn't for Australia there wouldn't be a service industry left here!. For dinner tonight i went for something different and had an Elk Chili and a nice Red beer (the beer over here is great - they seem to have lots of micro breweries). Cam doesn't think it was really Elk, but it didn't taste like beef and why else would it be called Elk. We keep meaning to have desert but the meals are all pretty big servings so haven't had any room for it lately. With a long day of driving tomorrow we headed to bed early, although were kept awake for most of the night with very random water noises coming from the roof all night.

I have only been publishing my designs for a few years publicly but I have to admit I was always changing, tweaking and altering patterns to fit my tastes and needs. In fact for many projects I never used a pattern at all. My knitter friends said give designing a try and like everyone else I needed a little extra income to help with the bills. I tried and what do you know I fell in love!
When asked to write about why I choose to design indie patterns I tried to think long and hard. I was looking for a deep meaningful answer that would make readers go wow. In reality, I design Indie patterns because I just love doing it!
Each day I have new ideas and thoughts on what I would like to try to knit. Sometimes they are simple styles like the Simply Ribbed Scarf which is a free pattern. Sometimes they are a little more involved like RainDrop Shawl.
A delicate lace shawl that is a bit difficult to get started but once you get it going the pattern becomes easier and the end shawl is enchanting. Often times they include some type of leaf because, well I just love to knit them! Leaves add a special touch to a scarf or sweater that seems a bit unexpected. They also add interest when knitting them, which can be that helpful push to continue on. Rosebud is one of those fun leaf projects that keeps me thinking - just one more leaf.
I love conversing with knitters from around the world and love to see pictures of the fabulous projects they complete everyday. Each time I publish a pattern, knitters add their own special touch. Sites like Craftsy and Ravelry allow me to view their pictures and wonder at their creativity.
When I design patterns, I try to think how can this pattern evolve through different yarn weights, fibers and colors. I think- is there a short version, could there be a long version? I want knitters to purchase a pattern and knit it often! My book - gives the knitter several knit leaf stitch designs and allows them to knit several projects or design their own project.
The Vineyard Vest pattern can be used as a template for other knitted leaf patterns within the book to allow the knitter value and flexibility.
While I have designed patterns for some magazines, I prefer to publish the patterns myself. The ability to directly converse with the customer is a great aspect of the Indie pattern. I love to hear what individuals liked and disliked about the patterns.
This is the best way to improve my pattern writing and although I will never achieve a pattern that everyone loves I can get a little closer. When a knitter purchases a pattern from me, I want them to feel like we are friends.
If there is a question, dislike or confusing section - let me know! Feel free to contact me and ask! Don't suffer in silence, because I am there to help, improve and hopefully add a bit of knitting happiness to the knitter world!

I LOVE this guy! One of my new heroes!
He is 100% right. I can attest to the fact that eating crap will make you fat and if you stop eating crap you can get into shape. I am living proof. I used to eat Burger King, Wendy's, McDonald's and any other fast food you can name. But then I was diagnosed with diabetes. I weighed over 300 pounds and I was surprised by the fact that I was diabetic. Looking back on it now, I shouldn't have been. I should have been surprised that I was alive every morning with the crap I was putting into my body every day.
I stopped eating fast food. Started eating healthy. Started working out and in less than a year, I had lost 160 pounds. Here is a before and after picture taken almost exactly 2 years to the day apart.
I am a totally different person now. Everything in life is better. And I do mean everything.

I bought this car in July of 2011 mostly built, but somewhat incomplete. I have done lots and lots and lots of work to it since I bought it. The chassis has 36,000 (and change) miles on it, 9,000 miles on the motor. As far as I know, it has always been garage kept and never been driven in the snow. There is no trace of rust on the car. My goal was to keep it as stock looking as possible, inside, outside and under the hood. It's as subtle as I could make it.
I will sum up the history of the car as I know it. The car came from Maryland. I *think* it was Turbo XS's shop car, but I could be mistaken. It then went to a NASIOC member who had the engine and transmission built by Andrewtech. Both are super solid and have withstood many dyno pulls since I purchased the car. It was originally tuned on a UTEC by TurboXS, but I installed an AEM standalone and had it tuned by The Boost Creep for E85.
This car is truly one of a kind and no expense was spared with the build. I never bothered to add up what it would cost to duplicate this car in parts alone, but it'd be a lot. And then there's labor for all of the custom work that's been done to it. It's an absolute blast to drive, but it's not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a comfortable daily driver, this probably isn't the car for you.
The car made 560 WHP on E85 at 23 PSI. Lots and lots of room to grow in there, but I didn't want to push it because, quite frankly, 560 is a lot of power.
I'm selling because it's time to move on to a new fast car.
I am asking $19,000. Not looking for trades, cash offers only. If you want it with Rotas instead of Volks, the price is $17,500. If you want it with Rotas and stock headlights, the price is $17,000.

I have two cats with V-bands that I bolt in for emissions. Before I upgraded the injectors, the car passed Colorado emissions with flying colors with the boost turned down. I am not guaranteeing that it will pass with the 2000 CC injectors, but if I had to guess, I'd say it probably will.
The Bad:
-Speedo intermittently drops out at highway speeds. It's DEFINITELY not an issue with the cluster. I suspect the speed sensor got damaged when the the dogbox was installed. A nice person sent me a PM saying it's likely a matter of moving a jumper to another position within the ECU. I don't want to fuss with it, but it's likely an easy fix.
-The car spent many years sitting in a shop, and because of that, it has a few dents and scratches. The paint itself is in very good condition, however.
-The AC is still installed, but it doesn't work. The condenser is leaking. I'd imagine most people would just remove it, but I never could decide whether I wanted to remove it or fix it, so I will leave that up to the new owner to decide.

- Publisher's Summary
- This book deals with the acceleration and storage of polarized proton beams in cyclic accelerators. Basic equations of spin motion are reviewed, the invariant spin field is introduced, and an adiabatic invariant of spin motion is derived. These modern concepts contribute to the optimization of high energy accelerators for polarized beams. It also allows the analysis of high order depolarizing resonances. Several numerical methods for computing the invariant spin field are presented and results are displayed in numerous illustrations. The reader will gain a much clearer view of spin dynamics at high energy than has hitherto been available.

Cooper, Henry score vs. Galaxy
Thierry Henry feels he and Kenny Cooper can work well together.
Linda Cuttone/Sports /Vue Images
TUCSON, Ariz. -- With Luke Rodgers' visa problems not to be decided until March 8, the Red Bulls have to move on forward on their forward positions.
If the Englishman doesn't get his visa or is delayed from making his 2012 Major League Soccer debut, the Red Bulls' striking combination will be Thierry Henry and Kenny Cooper.
They certainly didn't do too badly in the Red Bulls' 2-1 win over the LA Galaxy in the Desert Diamond Cup on Wednesday night. Each player scored a goal, Cooper the first, Henry the second in the pre-season encounter.
Henry is prepared to play with his new partner in goal-scoring crime.
"They're box type of players," he said. "They want to score goals. It's kind of good for me, whether I play with Kenny or Luke. It's kind of nice that they can stretch the defense. He scored some great goals in Mexico and tonight, also. It's a great finish. I don't know if you guys take it for granted. it was an amazing finish. One touch. Hopefully he can do that for us. If Luke ever comes it will be great to have a lot of different type of opitons to play forward."
Forming a partnership doesn't necessarily mean setting each other up. "Kenny is the kind of guy that I tried to find a couple of times," Henry said. "It didn't work out."
But sometimes it is making runs to stretch the opposition to open things up for a teammate. Henry did just that on Cooper's goal in the 31st minute as the American converted a Conor Lade pass past goalkeeper Josh Saunders.
"They played a great pass through to Conor and he did very well to find me in the box," Cooper said. "thierry Henry made a great run. Fortunately it went into the back of the net."
Cooper gave the former French international and Arsenal legend the highest of compliments and returned the compliment on Henry's second-half goal. Henry passed the ball wide right to Dane Richards, who returned a chip pass to the striker, who headed it home for a 2-0 advantage.
"It's an incredible privilege to have an opportunity to be on the same field as Thierry," he said. "He's a hero of mine. I think anyone in the world would love to have the opportunity to play with him. I feel very fortunate to have had two opportunites to do that now. His qualities are obvious. His goal, he took was fantastic tonight. His genral play was fantastic as well."
Asked if he could play the role of a provider, Henry replied, "I can play in that role. That's something the boss has to decide. But sometimes the game asks me to drop and take charge of the game. That's what I try to do. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't."
Henry had a two-month loan stint with his old club, Arsenal, in the English Premier League, and he has looked fit, very fit, according to Red Bulls coach Hans Backe.
"This is probably the best I've seen him since he arrived to us," Backe said, adding that Henry "still has a lot of pace."
And apparently a few more goals left in his legs and in his head.

When Will The Robins Nest?
Spring is moving north and so are the robins. This week a big wave arrived after Monday's snow. Now that they're here, how soon will they nest?
Robins nest later the further north you go. In 1974 Frances James and Hank Shugart were curious about the conditions that governed their nesting times throughout the U.S. Using climate data and Cornell nest watch information from 8,544 robins' nests they developed a model that predicted when robins would nest in a particular region.(*)
The model shows that robins cue on weather. Hatching is timed to occur when local humidity is 50% and temperatures are between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. By April 23, Pittsburgh's highs and lows are exactly in that range so our birds are getting ready. Here's what they're up to:
- Robins spend 5-7 days building their first nest of the season.
- Egg laying begins 3-4 days after first nest completion.
- Eggs are laid one per day for a clutch of 3-4 eggs.
- Incubation lasts 12-14 days.
From nest building to hatching, the first nest takes 26 days. (Subsequent nests take less time.)
Our robins should be nest building right now except for one thing: Do they have enough mud to begin construction? Has the mud been frozen?
Watch the robins in your neighborhood to see what stage they're in. Join Cornell Lab's Nest Watch program and your data can become the basis for studies like James' and Shugart's that broaden our knowledge of birds.

As a beginning birder I thought that I could have spied a barely discernible Varied Thrush in a dark wood early one spring. Years later I read that robins press mud into their nests using their chest and I have since seen wide muddy brown splotches or bands across robin red breasts in the spring. This solved my years long mystery. The dark band I thought could have been a field mark for the Varied Thrush was indeed a "muddy field" mark, that of a springtime American Robin.

Very cool observation! I'll watch for it.
