BELLEFONTE, Pa. — Jerry Sandusky emerged from prison to attend a hearing 200 miles away at which his lawyers argued Thursday he deserves a new trial on child molestation charges because they didn't have enough time to prepare for the first one. The 68-year-old former Penn State assistant coach played no active role in the proceedings, but briefly greeted his wife and supporters beforehand. At the hearing in Centre County court in Bellefonte, Sandusky's lawyers cited flaws in the trial, including that they were swamped by about 12,000 pages of documents and other materials, that Judge John Cleland should have instructed jurors about the years it took for victims to report he had abused them, and that hearsay evidence was improperly allowed. But prosecutors countered by showing most of the documents and records were not relevant to the trial. They also got lead defense attorney Joe Amendola to acknowledge that he did not find any he would have used when he reviewed them after the trial. "Where's the harm?" the judge asked Sandusky defense lawyer Norris Gelman. "That's where I'm hung up on this one." Cleland did not indicate when he might rule. If Sandusky does not get a new trial — he is also asking to have charges thrown out entirely — he can then appeal to Superior Court, and has indicated he will. Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse over a period of several years and is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence at a state prison. He has maintained his innocence, but his arrest tarnished Penn State's vaunted football program and led to the firing of longtime coach Joe Paterno, who died nearly a year ago from lung cancer. Gelman noted that some of the victims waited more than a decade to disclose their abuse. "This is a long, long time not to make some kind of report … and it goes to their credibility," Gelman said. Prosecutor Frank Fina told Cleland that the issue of "failure to report" by the victims was a major theme during the trial. It was brought up during both parties' opening statements and closing arguments and during cross-examination of the eight victims who testified against Sandusky, he said. Amendola's performance at trial and his questioning of witnesses are evidence that a fair trial took place even though the case moved from arrest to verdict in about eight months, Fina said. "He used everything he had to cross-examine these young men," Fina said. Amendola, who testified Thursday, said the trial's timetable did not permit sufficient investigation into the accusers' backgrounds. He also described a scramble to cope with a string of pretrial hearings while trying to adequately analyze the discovery materials. At one point, his copier even broke down. "Did we look at the material? Yes, we glanced over it," he said under questioning by Gelman. Amendola recounted how he and co-counsel Karl Rominger sought unsuccessfully to be taken off the case, evidence of their frustration over how quickly things were moving. After the hearing, Gelman compared Sandusky's odds of a new trial to a three-point shot in basketball, while Fina downplayed the defense's chances of success. "I think the people of Pennsylvania can be confident this conviction is going to stand," Fina told reporters.

Salmon goes offensive, McHenry top GK
Rutgers junior midfielder Yannick Salmon was named Big East offensive player of the week while Seton Halls Paul McHenry was named the conference's goalkeeper of the week accolades.
Yannick propelled Rutgers to a 2-0-0 record to open Big East competition, scoring scored three goals in two games, including agame-winners in 2-1 victories over Providence Friday and Connecticut Sunday.
Yannick's game-winning goal was scored 8:51 into the second extratime against Providence. He flicked in a shot to the left corner of the goal off a throw-in. Yannicks first tally against the Huskies came on a penalty kick, while the second goal was shot from 12-yards out to the lower left corner. This is the first offensive player of the week honor for Rutgers since Tomislav Barisic earned the honor on Oct. 22, 2007.
McHenry led Seton Halls charge as the Pirates went 1-0-1 to open conference play. Seton Hall won at Syracuse, 3-1, Friday and followed up with a scoreless draw at No. St. Johns two days later. The senior keeper made a career-high 10 saves at Syracuse. He then recorded his second shutout of theseason and eighth of his career with seven saves at St. Johns. This is McHenrys first career goalkeeper of the week honor and the first keeper honor for SHU since Ian Joyce won on Sept. 18, 2006.

st: RE: editor does not allow the use of command line
Wed, 14 May 2008 17:29:46 +0100
I disagree. Strongly!
People who want this would usually be smart about what they are doing and just exploit such a facility as multitasking. But the problem is that nobody can be smart all the time and that many others could just get confused. Meaning: very confused.
What do you think Stata should do if, putatively, you could change the data outside the Editor and also change the data inside the Editor at the same time? There would be endless scope for small confusions (and large) if that is possible. For example, people might open the Editor, and forget about that while they went through a long series of commands. Then at the end of a session you would get a message saying that you need to close the Editor before leaving Stata! Stata's rule is that changes are confirmed when you leave the editor. That would, I guess, be totally at odds with many spreadsheet users' sense that you once you've changed the data in the Editor, that's it.
Of course, I recognise the strong principle many users have that you should not change data you care about through the Editor, but I see that as a distinct issue. The point is that given that you can change data through the Editor, then that should always be something done quite unequivocally after all that goes before, and before all that goes after.
Notice that even insisting that commands changing the data were prohibited while you are in the Editor would not be enough. It would not be much help to have (say) modelling results if you were not completely clear which version of the data were being used.
Why it is not allowed to use the command line when the editor is on?
Besides the curiosity, I think it would be useful.

Just in time for our favorite season, Idylwilde's first fly shipment from Sri Lanka arrived on Friday! It was cleared by customs and US Fish & Wildlife, then delivered to our Portland headquarters. A list of available flies is now in the hands of our sales reps. Purple and gold Chubbies arrive next week in the second shipment!
Saturday we celebrated Blair's 7th birthday with a Hawaiian-style Luau. We put a pig in the ground the night before, which involved a lot of shovel work for Zach and Jaylo. By Saturday noon we had enough delectable pork to feed an army. We ate like kings, shot the bull, and had some fun. Oh, and Blair tied his first Egg-Sucking Woolley Bugger!
Sunday was spent tying samples of Idylwilde's new fly patterns for the sales team. I started with Ken Morrish's long-awaited follow up to his best-selling mouse pattern. It took some practice, but I finally nailed down Morrish's Mouse 2.0! Ken added a butt of red dubbing, zebra-striped rubber legs, and a trailing, upturned hook. Kamchatkan and Alaskan bows are going to love it. Hope you do, too.
Monday was my chance to take Matt Healy (Idylwilde Bug Wrangler) out for his first shot at kings on the fly. He worked hard, got a dime bright chinook, and provided critical assistance in landing the big fish of the day. In a word, epic.
Let's make it a great Septober!

A proper 1911, should be in my opinion, a mil spec that rattles when shaking it, fed ball ammo, and 5 inch 25 yard groups. I really like this set up. Killing folks in self defense should not require expensive, fancy tools.
This is a discussion on 1911's are like Red Heads within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I never met a redhead I didn't like. .....
I never met a redhead I didn't like. ..
What we've got here is failure to communicate.
A proper 1911, should be in my opinion, a mil spec that rattles when shaking it, fed ball ammo, and 5 inch 25 yard groups. I really like this set up. Killing folks in self defense should not require expensive, fancy tools.
Glockman I agree with what you have said here. For me there is a lot of nostalgia with a 1911 - that's what we used in the navy and they would all rattle when we shook them. My fear is however, that if I carry my 1911, someone will kill me with an inexpensive weapon. The only round I am somewhat confident will fire is the first one, and that's because it is already in the chamber. The second one may or may not feed.
I own both Sigs (P226 & 239 both .40 s&w) and 2 Springfield 1911 style pistols, both loadeds, one fullsize and the other a light weight champion, have had zero issues with the fullsize, and only issues with one type of defensive ammo in the lightweight. Have to say that I just don't agree with you about the 1911, especially the more I learn about the platform. Love my Sigs, but they aren't seeing as much range time anymore.
"Don't start none, won't be none!"
Shooter - love your avatar. Is that Teddy?
My comments on the 1911 are based on my personal experience along with observations on the various forums. I see feed problems everywhere. It could be I am more aware of them because of the problems I had. It's like when you buy a red car - suddenly you see them everywhere. Also, I'm not talking range time, but carry weapons. I take mine to the range once in a while also.
I'm not surprised you disagree - I'm sure others do as well. Avid 1911 owners are rabid when it comes to defending their weapon.
Bottom line, we all make our own decisions based on what we are comfortable with.
I'm reading this with some interest. I currenlty own a G22 and am thinking of purchasing a 1911. My G22 has been flawless. I love to the beauty of the 1911, but beauty is not as important as reliability. The 1911 has a huge following (and that can't be for nothing). Perhaps I'll hang onto my G22 and just use the 1911 for the range.
A man, without force, is without the essential dignity of humanity. Human nature is so constituted, that it cannot honor a helpless man, although it can pity him; and even this it cannot do long, if the signs of power do not arise.
I love my redheaded wife! Was she perfect out of the box? No. Does she require a bit of fluffing and buffing? Yes. With some looking after she is completely reliable. She occasionally has a hitch in her giddyup, but that is just a sign that she needs some attention from me. I like to carry her with me wherever I go. She comforts me. She will be by my side for a very long time.
Sounds a lot like my 1911's!!!!
Maybe thats my problem! I've been married to 2 Red heads and both are tempermental. One was worthless an refused to do the right thing and the 2nd is pefect, and we've been together 20 years!
Much like my Red Head relationships, I've had 2 1911's. The first was worthless and wouldn't do the right thing! I got rid of it too...my Charles Daly I have now is perfect. Runs like a sewing machine and the only issues I've had were Magazine related and corrected quick, fast and in a hurry! Maybe its the Jarhead in me but the only thing that feels better in my hand than a 1911 ...is a Red Head!
To err is human.
To forgive is divine.
Neither of which is Marine Corps policy.
"It's all about shot placement."- David (Slayer of Goliath)
If you are looking for a beautiful weapon that is also reliable, go for the Browning Hipower - in either the 9mm or .40 S&W. That's probably a personal thing also, but in my book you can't beat Brownings (handguns or longguns) for beauty.
I married a red head, and my first gun was a Springfield loaded 1911.
Both require maintenance.
Both completely satisfy.... nuff said.
"You can't shake the devils hand and say you were only kidding"
Red heads are mysterious, not a lot around. Now blondes are everywhere. I would think a 1911 could be a blonde. Some are hot, some are wild and sexy looking. Others can be a pain in the ass, high maintenance, and simply confusing to understand. That could be the assortment of 1911's. I think the red head should be custom made guns. Lots of TLC in the making, tight tolerances, slim lines, sexy looking and function well. But, that's me.
May we never forget those in uniform who protect us night and day in lands far away. And those in all wars who paid the supreme sacrifice in defense of our country. May God Bless our Troops and First Responders.
You know, for a gun that has gone thorugh world wars, Korea and Viet Nam, it seems to work pretty well as a combat arm. I have a few 1911s. I probably have 8,000 rounds out of my Colt Gold Cup, and now, probably 400 rounds out of my new Colt Defender. Just this last week-end, I had to do a live fire qualificatiion shoot, and although I could have used any handgun I wanted, and I have several inlcuding wheel guns, I chose to qualify with the Gold Cup. Yes, I did clean it before the shoot. As for the Colt Defender, it is as comfortabhle to me as an old pair of shoes, and so far has eaten everything I have put down its throat, including steel cased ammo. Not that I know from experience, but I would bet the average 1911 is a lot more reliable, and a hell of a lot cheaper to maintain than the average red head.
Best way to win a gun fight? "That's easy, don't show up." --Wyatt Earp
--If youre carrying a gun for self-defense, dont practice like a marksman. Practice like a gunfighter.
--Always be nice until it's time to not be nice.
Dated a red head once, but that's another story .....
As for the 1911, here's something I've observed, and this is just my own observation: the older, beat-up ones seem to be the most reliable.
I'm in favor of gun control -- I think every citizen should have control of a gun.
1 Thess. 5:16-18

Have you thought how you would be buried? Anna Marinenko designed ghost urns for the ashes of your loving departed. These are currently in the concept stages but I had to think: if I died, would I want my ashes in a urn like this? They're cute but more like Halloween decorations than something holding the deceased. If I put someone's ashes in this, I would be worried a live person would reach into the container for a cookie.
My ideal burial method would be no preservatives in my body in an compostable container with a tree planted on top of my grave in lieu of a gravestone. I have no idea if this is possible – especially the tree part of it. But I think it completes the circle of life, if my corpse feeds a new living thing and contributes to the world even after I've passed.

Fifth annual event to honor Kiedis for his commitment to helping others with addiction and recovery
The fifth annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert will take place at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on May 8 and will honor multi-GRAMMY-winning Red Hot Chili Peppers co-founder and lead singer Anthony Kiedis.
Kiedis will receive the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for his dedication and support of the MusiCares MAP Fund and for his commitment to helping other addicts with the addiction and recovery process. All proceeds will benefit the MusiCares MAP Fund, which provides members of the music community access to addiction recovery treatment regardless of their financial situation.
Hosted by Greg Behrendt, comedian and author of He's Just Not That Into You, the evening will feature a special performance by Kiedis along with Red Hot Chili Peppers bandmates Flea and Chad Smith, as well as performances by Thelonious Monster vocalist and "Celebrity Rehab" participant Bob Forrest with his son Elijah Forrest, musician/producer Josh Klinghoffer, the Mars Volta, the Neville Brothers' Ivan Neville, and Iggy Pop. DJ AM will perform live during dinner.
"Addiction exists in all communities and across all socioeconomic lines, but too often the challenges of making a life in music can lead people down the heartbreaking path of dependence," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy and MusiCares. "When circumstances such as the economy and shifts in our industry come into play, the need for our services can become greater than ever. MusiCares exists to offer a beacon of hope and critical resources for members of the music community who are struggling with addiction. Anthony is a strong supporter of our cause and this is a perfect opportunity to recognize and honor his commitment."
"I've seen firsthand the physical and emotional toll addiction takes on people — not just myself, but so many other artists and friends as well," said Kiedis. "The pain of addiction is leveled only by the promise of sobriety and the MusiCares MAP Fund provides access to the kind of resources that can help people genuinely change their lives. I'm proud to be honored and help raise funds for this critical work."
This year's MusiCares MAP Fund benefit is chaired by Cliff Burnstein, MusiCares Board President John Branca, Todd Ficeto, Peter Mensch, and Mary Pattiz. This event is made possible with the generous support of Goldenvoice, Jackson Limousine Service, Swing House, and Ticketmaster.

Treatment of Toxoplasmosis
DARAPRIM is indicated for the treatment of toxoplasmosis when used conjointly with a sulfonamide, since synergism exists with this combination.
Treatment of Acute Malaria
DARAPRIM is also indicated for the treatment of acute malaria. It should not be used alone to treat acute malaria. Fast-acting schizonticides such as chloroquine or quinine are indicated and preferable for the treatment of acute malaria. However, conjoint use of DARAPRIM with a sulfonamide (e.g., sulfadoxine) will initiate transmission control and suppression of susceptible strains of plasmodia.
Chemoprophylaxis of Malaria
DARAPRIM is indicated for the chemoprophylaxis of malaria due to susceptible strains of plasmodia. However, resistance to pyrimethamine is prevalent worldwide. It is not suitable as a prophylactic agent for travelers to most areas.
For Treatment of Toxoplasmosis
The dosage of DARAPRIM for the treatment of toxoplasmosis must be carefully adjusted so as to provide maximum therapeutic effect and a minimum of side effects. At the dosage required, there is a marked variation in the tolerance to the drug. Young patients may tolerate higher doses than older individuals. Concurrent administration of folinic acid is strongly recommended in all patients.
The adult starting dose is 50 to 75 mg of the drug daily, together with 1 to 4 g daily of a sulfonamide of the sulfapyrimidine type, e.g. sulfadoxine. This dosage is ordinarily continued for 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the response of the patient and tolerance to therapy. The dosage may then be reduced to about one half that previously given for each drug and continued for an additional 4 to 5 weeks.
The pediatric dosage of DARAPRIM is 1 mg/kg/day divided into 2 equal daily doses; after 2 to 4 days this dose may be reduced to one half and continued for approximately 1 month. The usual pediatric sulfonamide dosage is used in conjunction with DARAPRIM.
For Treatment of Acute Malaria
DARAPRIM is NOT recommended alone in the treatment of acute malaria. Fast-acting schizonticides, such as chloroquine or quinine, are indicated for treatment of acute malaria. However, DARAPRIM at a dosage of 25 mg daily for 2 days with a sulfonamide will initiate transmission control and suppression of non-falciparum malaria. DARAPRIM is only recommended for patients infected in areas where susceptible plasmodia exist. Should circumstances arise wherein DARAPRIM must be used alone in semi- immune persons, the adult dosage for acute malaria is 50 mg for 2 days; children 4 through 10 years old may be given 25 mg daily for 2 days. In any event, clinical cure should be followed by the once-weekly regimen described below for chemoprophylaxis. Regimens which include suppression should be extended through any characteristic periods of early recrudescence and late relapse, i.e., for at least 10 weeks in each case.
For Chemoprophylaxis of Malaria
Adults and pediatric patients over 10 years – 25 mg (1 tablet) once weekly Children 4 through 10 years – 12.5 mg (½ tablet) once weekly
Infants and children under 4 years – 6.25 mg (¼ tablet) once weekly.
White, scored tablets containing 25 mg pyrimethamine, imprinted with "DARAPRIM" and "A3A" in bottles of 100 (NDC 69413-330-10) and bottles of 30 (NDC 69413-330-30).
Store at 15° to 25°C (59° to 77°F) in a dry place and protect from light.

No sag, no bag, no blubber
A model displays a creation of Italian design house Miu Miu.
Photo: Reuters
Italian designers have decreed an end to low-rise bottoms, cropped tops and all the bare flesh in between in their weeklong preview presentations for the Spring-Summer 2006, which ended yesterday.
To bring the fashion point home, high-waisted outfits are often cinched with a wide leather belt - THE accessory of the season.
"Enough with bare bellies," designer Anna Molinari said yesterday after her show, which featured pretty chiffon dresses in floral prints reminiscent of the 1920s, with prim collars and proper below-the-knee hemlines.
The new look also marks the twilight of fashion denim, whether glitzy or distressed, taking with it the popular baggy hipster jeans.
In a bit of fashion fun, Miuccia Prada turned denim inside out for strapless dresses worn over T-shirts, and spiffy spring coats in her second line Miu Miu collection presented yesterday. By the same token, the designer fashioned overalls in the finest silk.
Earlier in the week, D-Squared combined denim with suede leather in a collection based on rodeo chic. But elsewhere on the Milan catwalk - even at jeans-loving Dolce & Gabbana - the workman's fabric raised to couture was a rare find.
Overall, the summer look is pretty, sweet and feminine, with the dress the focal point of the collections.
The favourite style, usually in a dainty silk print, is sleeveless with a V neck, marked waist and loose skirt. Another popular version is the corset dress, or the milkmaid gown with laced bustier top.
Next year's warm weather season also marks the return of skirts of all lengths, at times paired with a blouse, and often high-waisted. There are fewer pants than in past seasons.
Ruffles, flounces, satin ribboning, delicate embroidery and lace trimming underline the feminine feel of the season.
White replaces black as the leading monochrome, showing that Italian designers are moving away from the dark lady in slinky black that marked Italian design for many a year. The newest colour of the season is a rich indigo blue.
Wide or thin, the one item every woman must have next summer is a belt. The hottest examples can be found at Bottega Veneta in brown or white leather with a large silver buckle, or at Fendi in bright patent leather with a matching oversized buckle. Suspenders, even as straps on an evening gown, also make a comeback.
In the bag department, the most popular style is large and satchel shaped, including the double-strapped closure. Gucci does its version with bamboo handles, and Prada invents a new way to carry it -- wrist slipped through the handles and hand supporting the bottom of the bag.
Footwear is either a high-heeled platformed sandal, or a flat ballerina slipper. At times, shoes match the pattern of a dress or bag. The glistening gold sandals at Miu Miu are sure to be the talk of the summer town.
Hair worn long and loose, or gathered in a straight pony tail at the neck and the understated makeup complete the fresh feel of this round of 'moda Milanese".
Done with Milan, the fashion crowd moves on to Paris where the French fashion week of summer ready-to-wear preview showings began over the weekend.

- Publisher's Summary
- Effective protection of the marine and terrestrial environment increasingly requires cooperation between neighbouring States, international organizations, government entities and communities within States. This book analyses key aspects of transboundary environmental law and policy and their implementation in Asia, Australasia and Australian offshore territories, and surrounding areas beyond national jurisdiction including Antarctica. It discusses the potential for implementing key transboundary environmental mechanisms such as the 1991 Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (Espoo Convention) and its 1997 Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment (Kiev Protocol) in Australia and Asia drawing on experience from other regions and the potential application of these agreements to all UN member states. The book makes an innovative contribution to research in the area of transboundary environmental governance particularly as it applies to Asia, Australasia and international areas, supplementing similar research which has predominantly focused on Europe and North America.

What's up guys? I've just turned 20 and have been thinking about the big 2-1. I'm getting my CHL and a 40VE S&W Sigma soon after I hit 21. I've done my research and seen all the 38, 380 pocket gun rhetoric but I'm not interested in agitating someone who attacks me, I want to disable them.
The issue at hand is concealable holsters. I want a holster that will position the weapon a little further to the right (almost on the top of my belly) than most shoulders holsters put them. This will allow for the quickest route to my gun while still allowing for concealment.
I know these exist and are common but I haven't seen any for sale on the internet so far. Any help?

Johnny Douglas was said to be the fittest cricketer of his day. The body was taut and muscular. He would not have been remotely out of place in a 21st-century dressing room where a player's physical condition is too easily a fetish rather than a healthy consideration. Douglas looked more like a boxer than a Test allrounder. And that was what he was, of course. Those who yawned at his unwaveringly wearisome batting approach argued with some validity that he was worth watching only when he stepped into the ring.
That was a cutting comment on someone who captained his country at cricket and led it to success against the Australians before the First World War. Yet he was never a batsman to ignite a schoolboy's imagination or stir a wing-collared Edwardian scribe to flights of purple prose.
One of the endless fascinations of cricket is the extent of dichotomy among its practitioners. It is the sport in which the brawny blacksmith, romantic icon of rural rampage, does not bowl fast at all but instead pedantically blocks out the last half-hour to earn an honourable draw. It is the bespectacled accountant, pallid of features and delicate of forearm, who crashes four boundaries in an over. In Douglas's case he batted as if losing a competitive stroll with a tortoise - and flung his fists in ferocious combinations of punches to excite black-tied audiences, baying for blood after port, at the National Sporting Club.
He came from a family steeped in the noble art. His father, Johnny H Douglas, was a famous personality in the annals of boxing, a familiar figure at the old Covent Garden Club. Brother `Pickles' Douglas was a renowned referee, handling title fights. At Felsted School Johnny's own boxing prowess was a matter of approving debate among his fellow fifth-formers. There was never any likelihood of him fighting for money but he boxed proudly for the family name.
In the ringside seats his family shouted encouragement and liked the way, with a pair of boxing gloves, he could look after himself. The dour countenance that he was apt to convey at the crease was a good deal less evident when he was trading blows, usually with some style. He became the best amateur middleweight in England and was crowned Olympic champion in 1908 when he beat Reginald `Snowy' Baker on points. The fight was so close that a popular myth sprang up (and remains to this day) that the judges could reach no decision and the gold was finally awarded by the referee - Douglas's father. But Douglas senior was not refereeing at all. He was ringside only so that he could present the medals in his capacity as president of the Amateur Boxing Association.
JWHT Douglas, to allow him his full flourish of initials (the printers gave him the works on the boxing billboards), was also a referee. They used to say he was a martinet as he danced round the two fighters. He was always sparing with his smiles; in the ring, whether boxing or adjudicating, he remained grim-faced, his sleek middle-parting hair unruffled. So he needed to be when handling two adversaries not averse to villainy on the referee's blind side. In 1914 he had whispered a few cautions to George `Digger' Stanley, once a world bantamweight champion and well known for a range of dark-alley tricks. By the 13th round Douglas had seen enough and disqualified Digger. The defeated boxer's noisy mates, many from the gipsy community from where he came, turned on the referee. But that did not bother Douglas. He played and judged his sport by the letter.
That was why he once rounded on Wally Hammond when captaining an Essex game against Gloucestershire. He and his team-mates were convinced that the `prince', as Hammond was known in the West Country, was caught in the covers by Laurie Eastman off a ball from the slow left-armer Joe Hipkin. Douglas led the protests when Hammond did not walk. The umpire, caught in a mid-afternoon reverie and uncertain what had happened, spluttered that it had been a bump-ball.
Douglas was seething. At the close of play he went into the Gloucestershire dressing room. He had already offered a few choice words of anger at Wally on the pitch. Now he demanded to know where he was. Reg Sinfield, who was present, recounted with a chuckle that Hammond remained out of sight behind the door. Next morning, when Essex were batting and Douglas was at the crease, Hammond pointedly asked for a bowl, a request captain Bev Lyon heard less and less in those days. "He went on and hurled them down faster than I'd ever seen from him before," said Sinfield. "He left poor old Johnny black and blue and I felt pretty sorry for him. Yet what courage."
The boxer's pluck was rarely far away. It made up for a somewhat saturnine character and no natural or easy affinity with the players. They still knew he would battle for them, not wantonly prepared to give his wicket away or be needlessly generous to the other side. The competitive aspect to his play was equally apparent in his not insignificant soccer career, during which he won an amateur international cap.
But his cricket, whatever the groans about his painfully limited batting repertoire, should not be disregarded. He played in 23 Tests and, with SF Barnes gobbling up the wickets, he led England to an Ashes triumph in 1911-12, having taken over the captaincy when Plum Warner was ill. He played for Essex from 1901 to 1928, scoring 24,531 runs and 26 hundreds. His bowling, with its lateral movement, brought 1,893 wickets. The boxer's sturdy fists held on to 365 catches. The pundits of the day went off his Test captaincy after the 1914-18 war and the records appear to bear that out. But he achieved the season double - 100 wickets and 1,000 runs - five times.
John William Henry Tyler ("Johnny Won't Hit Today" to the Australian public) Douglas may not have been everyone's idea of a figure of shining or inspirational endearment. But his innate courage never deserted him. That was poignantly evident in 1930 when he was drowned at sea trying to save his father's life, after two vessels collided in the fog. The seas were rough and the two did not quite beat the count.

Glencore denies employing child-labour in Congo
* BBC Panorama says under-18s work at Glencore mine in DRC
* CEO says workers are there without its authorisation
* Documentary also says firm responsible for environmental damage
* Company says has put in place facility to stop legacy acid problem
By Sarah Young
LONDON, April 16 (Reuters) - Commodities trader Glencore has denied it employs under-18s working at a copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo, saying any mining at the mothballed site is without its authority.
The BBC's Panorama current affairs show, due to be broadcast on Monday, said it had footage of youngsters under the age of 18 working at a mine where Glencore owns a licence to operate.
The company, which floated last year after four decades of closely guarded privacy, said it had stopped work at the mine in 2008.
Glencore's chief executive Ivan Glasenberg said in comments released by the BBC and due to be screened on the programme that the child miners were working "against all of our authorisation". Continued...

OMG! Is Jessica Simpson Pregnant? Do She & BF Eric Johnson Have A Secret?
Jess has been showing off a MUCH fuller figure lately…could she actually be finally having the baby she's always dreamed about?
Is it time to offer Jessica Simpson a hefty round of congratulations? The 30-year-old singer might be pregnant!
Jess' fuller figure -weight loss expert Tanya Zuckerbrot says she's gained 15 pounds! – was on display when she stepped out at The Sunset Towers in Los Angeles August 25 without new boyfriend Eric Johnson. She and the former football player have been canoodling all over the globe lately, including her hot 30th birthday celebration in Italy – the perfect place for love AND love-making!
We think the 30-year-old Yale alum would make a great daddy! Although he and Jessica have only been dating since May since meeting an LA party, they seem to have fallen in love incredibly quickly! He's already met her family (they even made out in front of her mom, Tina!) and took her ring shopping in Capri. In fact, his pals say that he's such an awesome guy that she's "struck the jackpot."
Now that we've established Eric is perfect papa material, we have to tell you that Jessica has always wanted a family. Seriously, she literally can't stop talking about it!
- "In ten years I would love to be a mom, I would just love to be in love and be a mom," she told FOXNews.com.
- "I can't wait to have kids. I want to have kids. If I don't have kids by the time I'm 40, my best friend Ken Paves and I are going to have children!" she said on The View.
- "I'm not dating for fun," she told People magazine. "I want kids someday. I want a family."
- "[Jessica is] always saying, 'Oh, I want a baby!' her younger sis Ashlee told Redbook.
If Jessica ISN'T pregnant and has just gained some serious weight lately, she can blame her strange June cleanse that consisted of a vegan diet and a special Pu-erh tea from China. "After the cleanse, any weight that came off is going to come back. The cleanse slows down your metabolism!" F-Factor Diet founder Tanya Zuckerbrot explains to HollywoodLife.com of Jessica's 15 pound weight gain.
She added, "When she returned to eating normally, she gained the weight back because her metabolism was slower from the cleanse – she's probably not pregnant. That weight is intra-abdominal fat. That apple shape, it's the most unhealthy kind of fat because it's closest to your organs and increases your risk for cardiovascular disease. Because of where she's carrying the weight, I would make a strong recommendation to lose it because of her health."

What's next for NBA in Donald Sterling case from a legal standpoint?
A recording purportedly of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racist remarks about Magic Johnson and African-Americans, including those who attend Clippers games, has been made public by TMZ. The remarks purportedly occurred during a recent argument between Sterling and his girlfriend, V. Stiviano. The NBA is investigating. Below I break down how the NBA's investigation may play out and potential legal ramifications for Sterling, the NBA and Clippers players.
Step 1 for NBA: Confirming the authenticity of the recording
The league's first step is to confirm that the recording is in fact of Sterling and was not doctored in any way. This is an important step because the league has a fiduciary duty to conduct its investigations fairly and consistent with internal rules of procedure. If Sterling were to later sue the NBA, the league would want to establish that it responded responsibly to the allegations before taking any corrective action. In a statement released to TMZ, Clippers president Andy Roeser raises the possibility the recording may have been altered and emphasizes Stiviano "is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million..."
Confirming the authenticity of the recording could prove difficult. The original recording is presumably in the possession of TMZ. The NBA, as a private business, has no subpoena power to force TMZ or any other entity to turn it over. TMZ may be reluctant to share the original recording, especially if it was obtained on the condition that it would not be shared. TMZ may also be reluctant to share the recording because the recording itself could be unlawful.
Under California penal law, it is a crime to intentionally record a confidential conversation without the consent of the person or persons being recorded. This type of eavesdropping also empowers victims of the unlawful recording to sue for money damages. TMZ's own exposure to liability is far less than the person or persons who made the recording. TMZ is a media company with broad First Amendment rights, especially on matters that are newsworthy. Still, media companies can be sued for publication of private facts, and Sterling, an attorney by trade, could consider legal action.
TAYLOR: Time for Silver to do Stern's dirty work with Sterling
Without possession of the original recording, the NBA would attempt to confirm the authenticity of the version of the recording that has been made available on TMZ.com. A voice recognition specialist who can compare Sterling's voice with that of the male on the recording would likely be used. The NBA would also want audio specialists to ensure there are no unusual breaks or pauses in the recording that would suggest the placement of words had been altered.
Step 2: Interview Sterling and compile evidence
If the NBA confirms that the recording is of Sterling and has not been doctored, it would ask him to meet as soon as possible with Silver and the NBA's top lawyer, Rick Buchanan. They would ask Sterling questions ranging from why he made racist remarks to whether his attitudes about race have in any way impacted the Clippers business model. The NBA's primary interest is ensuring that no team conducts itself in ways that violates discrimination laws, whether it be in the hiring and retention of team staff to the sales of tickets and merchandise. Also, federal and state civil rights laws prohibit privately owned businesses that offer entertainment from discriminating on the basis of race.
At this point, there is no reason to believe that the Clippers as a team discriminate on the basis of race. Along those lines, Sterling's personal views about African-Americans and even African-Americans at Clippers games do not prove that his business acts in racist ways. It is worth noting, however, that in former Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor's original wrongful termination lawsuit against the team, he claimed he was treated worse by the team because of his race. The racism claim was dropped from Baylor's case and a jury would later side for the Clippers.
Sterling, as an NBA owner, cannot as a practical matter be uncooperative with the NBA. He is obligated to comply with league investigations. The franchise agreement between NBA team owners and the NBA makes clear that owners will follow the league's constitution and bylaws.
SI VAULT: Sterling, owner of the worst franchise in sports history
Among Adam Silver's powers as commissioner is to ensure that the "best interests" of the game are preserved. Part of that power includes conducting investigations and, if necessary, levying sanctions on teams, owners, employees and players. The NBA has fined owners in the past, including $500,000 fines for Mark Cuban (criticizing officials) and Micky Arison (tweeting on the NBA lockout). If Sterling chooses not to comply with an NBA investigation, the league would have the legal authority to levy substantial fines and suspend him.
In addition to interviewing Sterling, the NBA would likely also ask to meet with Stiviano. She may be reluctant to meet with the NBA, however, especially if she recorded the conversation. If she recorded the conversation, Stiviano may be concerned about the possibility of criminal charges or Sterling suing her. Also, her conversations with the NBA could be subpoenaed by law enforcement, even if the NBA agreed to speak with her confidentially. Stiviano is under no legal obligation to meet with the NBA.
GALLERY: Owners behaving badly
The NBA would also likely interview Clippers employees and players, as well as former employees and players, about their interactions with Sterling. The National Basketball Players' Association would surely ask to be involved in those discussions, as it has an interest in ensuring a non-hostile work environment for NBA players.
Step 3: Fining or suspending Sterling
If the NBA concludes that Sterling acted irresponsibly and damaged the league's image, the NBA's most likely remedial action would be to fine Sterling. The problem for the NBA would be that even a record-breaking fine of an NBA owner -- say $1 million or $5 million -- may not feel like much of a punishment for Sterling. According to Forbes, Sterling is worth in the neighborhood of $1.9 billion. Also, at age 80 or 81 (his exact official birth date remains something of a mystery, but it was reportedly in 1933), a fine of relatively small magnitude may prove even less effectual. The fear is that Sterling would respond with something akin to, "I don't care." On the other hand, any fine paid by Sterling would be given to charity and millions of dollars donated to a cause such as fighting racism would serve a good purpose.
The NBA could levy a more significant punishment in the form of a suspension. The NBA has the authority to suspend an owner. While the league has not used that authority, it could here.
Other leagues have taken this step. Baseball twice suspended Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott, the first time for one-year and the second for two-years. Her suspensions arose from racist remarks about African-Americans and favorable comments about Adolph Hitler. MLB also suspended Yankees owner George Steinbrenner for hiring a private investigator to conduct negative research on Dave Winfield.
Some NBA owners may be uncomfortable with the league suspending an owner. Even if they find Sterling's alleged comments reprehensible, owners may worry about the precedent it would set. In that vein, if Silver can suspend an owner in this instance, might he use that power against them in other situations? Might he suspend an owner for criticizing referees or tweeting sensitive information, rather than merely fine him? Expect there to be significant resistance by NBA owners to suspending Sterling.
GOLLIVER: Players speak out against Sterling
Step 4: Expelling Sterling from the NBA and defending a possible lawsuit by Sterling
It is well known that some league officials and owners would like to see Sterling leave the NBA. Sterling has faced accusations of racism for years, including having to defend a housing lawsuit brought by the Department of Justice. The NBA also knows that wealthy NBA fans like Steve Ballmer and Chris Hansen—who sought to buy the Kings and relocate them to Seattle—would jump at the first chance to own an NBA team.
Forcibly removing Sterling from the NBA is unlikely to happen. The NBA's constitution, which is confidential, reportedly contains language permitting owners to authorize the league to sell a team without an owner's consent. The language, SI.com is told, only covers very limited circumstances and these circumstances concern team finances -- namely, when an owner can't pay his bills.
There is reportedly no language authorizing the NBA to sell a team because of an owner's hurtful remarks or embarrassing behavior. Even if constitutional language could be construed to authorize a forced sale of the Clippers, NBA owners would likely be reluctant to do so given the precedent it would set.
Removing Sterling from the NBA, however, may not be necessary to effectively remove him from the Clippers. The NBA could suspend Sterling indefinitely and encourage him to sell the team. The Sacramento Kings were sold last year for an amount that equates to $534 million. It stands to reason the Clippers—which Sterling purchased in 1981 for $12.5 million—would be worth well in excess of $700 million.
The NBA could take a bolder step and take over the day-to-day operations of the Clippers, much like Major League Baseball did with the Dodgers and its embattled owner, Frank McCourt. The Dodgers, however, were experiencing payroll problems; there is no reason to believe the Clippers are experiencing any financial troubles.
The NBA must also be concerned about the possibility of Sterling suing the NBA and owners, such as for breach of the Clippers franchise agreement or for violations of federal and state antitrust law. NBA franchise agreements contain language that limit the ability of owners to sue the NBA and other owners. This language is known as "waiver of recourse", which means that an owner, by virtue of owning an NBA team, voluntarily waives away legal recourses he or she might otherwise have against the NBA and owners.
The waiver would likely aid the NBA in regards to a contract breach claim, but courts are generally unwilling to extend waivers to antitrust claims. A potential antitrust claim by Sterling against the NBA would be that his competitors (other NBA owners) and the NBA have conspired to expel him. By doing so, the logic goes, Sterling would have to sell his team at less than market value because prospective buyers would know that Sterling "has to" sell. As a result, he would attract lower bids. Under federal antitrust law, any damages Sterling receives would be automatically multiplied by three. He may have additional claims under California antitrust law.
Clippers players boycotting games
Clippers players would send a powerful message to Sterling by boycotting a game. Such a maneuver, however, would be in direct violation of their employment contracts. The players would be suspended by the NBA and potentially face significant fines, especially since the NBA would have to refund money to those fans buying tickets. It is worth noting, however, that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits employers from fining individuals for opposing discrimination. NBA contracts can also not "contract around" civil rights protections, meaning NBA players who boycott games over an owners' racism may be protected under the law.

System gives draught without the graft
A newly developed home draught system is looking to turn kitchen counters into personal bars, allowing customers to collect their favourite brews and put them all under one tap.
The brainchild of beer fan Steve Young – who was tired of filling up containers of his favourite craft pours only for them to lose their freshness after a few days – the SYNEK system uses refillable vacuum-sealed cartridges.
These interchangeable cartridges – which slot into the toaster-sized tap machine – are said to keep beer as fresh as first-poured for up to a month.
The bags can be filled with any beer from any tap in any bar, be it a customer's first home brew, favourite craft beer or global lager brand.
And the sleek tap system keeps the brew at the desired temperature, allowing it to be poured as if straight from the bar.
SYNEK have managed to get over 400 craft brewers from across the U.S to sign-up to the system, allowing users to go straight to their favourite brew-pub or brewery and fill up for the month.
A guarantee has been issued by the fledgling company promising that customers who don't have a choice of at least three different craft brewers from which they can be supplied will receive their money back.
The system is currently at a special pre-release price of $299.99, to go up to $349 after its launch.
SYNEK are building funds on Kickstarter to roll out production of the system, which has been well received by the press and is looking set to achieve its $250,000 (£146,000) target within its time-limit of three weeks.
"It's about giving the tools to the home and craft brewers to help spread their creation and make more money while doing it," said Young.
"The best beer deserves to reach the consumer in the freshest form possible."

I like Greerton.
The times I have shopped and spent time there I have felt a strong community vibe.
It's got great restaurants and food outlets, and I find the locals friendly.
I leave there each time with a sense the community has heart.
But Greerton has a big problem - one locals don't deserve.
This paper reported this week drunken youths and vagrants are causing major issues for retailers and residents.
The problems are appalling. Drunkards urinating against buildings at Greerton Village School, and having sex in the cloakrooms; louts harassing people, and people vomiting and urinating outside the community's hall.
Retailers have also been abused.
This behaviour is unacceptable. There wouldn't be a suburb in Tauranga that would tolerate such disgusting antics.
It's got to the point where city councillors have decided to fast-track a liquor ban for the area.
Good on our city leaders for quickly dealing with the matter.
A liquor ban will apply pressure on troublemakers and give locals and law enforcement officials the power needed to tackle the problem.
Mayor Stuart Crosby says Tauranga will soon have a total liquor ban.
About time.
People have homes and licensed establishments where they can drink. Public areas are not substitutes for pubs.
Locals have a right to live, shop and make a living in their community without drunken idiots bothering them.
I look forward to my next trip into Greerton.
Hopefully I won't stumble over any of these troublemakers.

text: April 24, 2012 ─ The Plateau Mont-Royal, a.k.a. the Plateau, is a delightfully hip Montréal neighbourhood with an urban fabric that showcases unique wrought-iron staircases, colourful row houses, and eclectic boutiques. Walking around the Plateau is a pleasant undertaking with flashes of charm from nearly every street corner. The district provides for many photo opportunities, so bring a camera along on this quiet promenade and discover urban living on a cozy scale, solo on the Plateau. All hail the Montréal bagels! What better way to start off the day than with one, two, or more legendary Montréal bagels. St-Viateur Bagel & Café (on Mont-Royal Avenue East) is a classic Montréal family-run establishment that has been preparing oven-baked bagels since 1957. You'll love the aroma of coffee and treats as soon as you enter the premises. The Main Saint-Laurent Boulevard, nicknamed The Main, is where Montréal's kaleidoscope of cultures meets and, similarly, where historical buildings rub shoulders with more recent constructions. Take the time to appreciate the treasures of this trendy commercial thoroughfare, where you'll be able to find food, fashion, furniture, and everything in between, for all budgets and tastes. For the summertime event known as Main Madness, Saint-Laurent is closed off to traffic for one gigantic street sale with lots of great deals and a festival ambiance. Nobody should ever leave Montréal without trying the city's famous smoked meat. For lunch, head to Schwartz's, which has been a fixture along The Main since 1928. Guests from all over the world have stopped by for that special taste of Montréal in the form of brisket marinated in an elaborate mixture of herbs and spices for days. M'm! M'm! Good! Prince-Arthur and Saint-Louis Now, well-fed, and raring to go, head down (south) The Main until you get to Prince-Arthur Street and turn left (east). During the 1960s, Prince-Arthur Street was one of the city's hippie havens. Today, it's a favourite pedestrian hub that hustles and bustles, especially during summer with street artists and musicians adding further spice to the blocks of restaurants and café-terraces. Prince-Arthur Street will lead you directly to the architecturally rich Square Saint-Louis with its imposing 19th century homes. Attracting well-to-do French-Canadian families in the early 1800s, the neighbourhood was home to a number of artists, including the renowned poet, Émile Nelligan. Saint-Denis Crossing Square Saint-Louis at its eastern tip is Saint-Denis Street, a stroll along which reveals a multitude of attractive boutiques whose window displays showcase, among other things, contemporary fashions from Québec's popular designers and exclusive wares for the bed, bath, and beyond. In fact, if there's a trend happening, chances are you'll spot it on Saint-Denis first. The street also hosts music and literary shops, as well as a nice variety of cafés and restaurants with sidewalk terraces filled with patrons revelling in food, sun, and scenery. Two wheel trekking à la Montréal If you would like to explore Montréal with pedal power, Fitz and Follwell Co. offers a variety of urban cycling tours throughout the city, both along main routes as well as off the beaten track. Knowledgeable guides make sure that tours are informative and fun, and even mix things up a bit with supplementary activities. The three-hour Bike & Yoga tour, for example, was carefully created to offer a rejuvenating, in-depth cultural experience that weaves through the Plateau with yoga stops at some of the neighbourhood's green spaces. Quality rental bikes are available in a range of styles (urban, hybrid, vintage) and sizes to suit all riders. A winning supper When you're ready for supper, make your way to Chez Victoire, a nonchalant, hip venue that offers a variety of compelling gastronomic options. With Chef Alexandre Gosselin at the helm, delicious plates like sweetbreads and scallop or shrimp rolls with avocado purée, sun-dried tomatoes, bacon, green onions, and jalapeño mayo await at this neighbourhood bistro. An extensive wine list serves to enhance your flavourful delights. Peace For the rest of the evening, relax in the idyllic setting of Parc La Fontaine. In the summer months, you might want to check out the park's Théâtre de Verdure, which offers free open-air performances and concerts. During winter, you can rent ice skates and glide across the park's pond, which is transformed into a glorious skating rink.
