For the first time home owners and landlords will be able to advertise property for sale, rent and room-share via their Facebook profile with the launch of Property Place later in January 2012.
Property Place makes it very easy for people to rent or sell their properties (or rooms) as it gives them access to the huge membership and recommending abilities offered through Facebook. Its working beta version (http://apps.facebook.com/propertyplace) already has over 400,000 properties available to search.
Unlike the dominant website property portals RightMove and Zoopla (which only take properties from estate agents (Property Place) is accessible by everyone.
The vision for creating a Facebook property platform came from founder Sohail Rashid after he read the Office of Fair Trading's Home Buying & Selling report published in February 2010. This study highlighted the lack of innovation, transparency and control in the current UK property market which is costing consumers dear.
Sohail set out to change this by using the power of social media to allow homeowners and landlords to sell and rent their properties more efficiently.
Sohail Rashid, founder of Property Place, says: "Property Place is all about helping people find properties to buy and rent quickly, while allowing people to market their properties or spare rooms cheaply. For those who are struggling financially in the current climate of austerity Britain it allows them to sell their home without the estate agent commission and also the opportunity to boost their income by letting a spare room to...
someone in their extended network or beyond.
"With nearly 30 million UK users, Facebook is the ideal place to advertise your property as it provides the added Facebook features such as sharing with friends, like buttons and commentary. This allows people looking to buy, sell or rent a home to use their extended social network to find suitable people quickly".
Sohail Rashid, who is still in his 20s, is an experienced conveyancing lawyer and prior to setting up Property Place he co-founded iConveyancer Limited, a specialist conveyancing firm. He also has strong IT experience, and during his legal career worked with Steria International, a major global IT and data management company to create a revolutionary legal outsourcing transactional platform.

The Saints might have ended their mini four-game funk just in time with Sunday's easy 38-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Despite winning four straight games in which they didn't play their best -- especially on the offensive side of the ball -- the undefeated Saints shook off their recent poor play by kicking aside the Bucs in Raymond James Stadium.
That they did it with the next team on the schedule being the New England Patriots was significant to the Saints (10-0). It means they finally begin to think about Monday night's showdown with the three-time Super Bowl champions instead of simply being aware of that looming game.
That they corrected the mistakes that resulted in 13 turnovers in the previous four games with no giveaways against the Bucs before facing the Patriots was a relief to many -- including coach Sean Payton.
"I like where we are at, I mean we are 10-0," Payton said after his team set a club record for consecutive victories. "We beat a division opponent on the road. I was pleased we eliminated some of those mistakes offensively."
While they struggled early, the Saints' offense looked like the team that buzzed through the first five opponents -- winning those five games by a total of 99 points. They scored 31 points with four touchdowns and a field goal in six possessions that spanned the second and third quarters.
Combined with a strong effort by a defense that allowed just 219 yards -- including 144 after the Bucs got 75 on their first drive -- and came up with four more takeaways to push their season total to 29, the Saints showed that they were ready to face the Patriots.
Free safety Darren Sharper said it was good to see the Saints playing at the level they were earlier with the biggest game of the season on the horizon.
"There are things we can still improve on," he said, "but this is the type of game you want to have. That's dominating teams for four quarters, and that is a good sign because we all know our next opponent is a tough one."
New Face On The Left
The Saints had a surprise starter at left tackle when they faced the Tampa Bay Bucs on Sunday as four-year veteran Zach Strief got the call instead of third-year pro Jermon Bushrod.
Strief and Bushrod rotated in the first half before Strief, who made his fifth career start, played the majority of the second half in the Saints' 38-7 victory.
After the game, Saints coach Sean Payton said Strief has had some good practices recently and the staff wanted to see what he could do in a game.
Bushrod started the last three preseason games and eight of the first nine regular-season games in place of Pro Bowl tackle Jammal Brown after he had surgeries for a sports hernia and a hip problem. Brown has since been put on injured reserve.
Turnover Bug Gone
After committing 13 turnovers and allowing nine sacks in their previous four games, the Saints' offense played a clean game against the Bucs.
The 13 turnovers in the last four games was the most in a four-game span since Sean Payton took over in 2006, topping by one the 12 giveaways they had in the first four games of the 2007 season.
But on Sunday, the Saints had no giveaways and didn't even put the ball on the ground, while Drew Brees did not come close to being sacked by the Bucs' defense.
Defense Stepping Up
While the offense was doing what it does best, especially late in the first half and the second half, the Saints' defense was solid after the Bucs stung them for a 95-yards touchdown drive on their first possession.
The Bucs actually gained 75 total yards on the first series when you throw in 20 yards on two Saints' penalties. After that, however, the Saints' defense limited the Bucs to 144 yards on the next 47 snaps for an average of 3.1 yards per play.
The Saints also came up with four turnovers -- three interceptions and a fumble recovery -- and recorded three sacks of rookie quarterback Josh Freeman.
Lucky 200?
The Saints' fourth touchdown against the Bucs, a 3-yard run by tailback Mike Bell with 4:50 remaining in the third period, was the team's 200th in 58 games since Sean Payton became head coach in 2006.
So Much For Close Games
Prior to the Saints' 31-point blowout of the Bucs on Sunday 15 of the last 18 games in the series had been decided by a touchdown or less.
Lucky 100?
Saints left defensive end Charles Grant made the 100th start of his NFL career against the Bucs. Grant was a first-round draft pick of the team in 2002.

Wind Storm Creates Boom For Some Local Businesses, Bust For Others
"We've been extremely busy, we've done over 500 cars today. Probably by the end of the day we will do anywhere from 600 to 800 just at this location," said Tino Garcia, manager of Racer Classic Car Wash.
Garcia says he doesn't mind dust storms.
"Anytime we get a storm like that the next day is going to be slam packed with them," he said.
And they were packed, Garcia says they've had a line around the corner all day.
"The owner should be real happy today," said Garcia.
But not all businesses are "cleaning up" from the storm. Hunter Hutchins of Lawn Raiders says dust storms create a mess for his business.
"When you have high wind you don't get paid for what we are doing out here it's just in the deal, if something blows off then we go put it back on so it makes it sort of a pain," said Hutchins.
Hutchins says his crew has been busy all day restringing Christmas lights.
"You know we like to have the lights on every night. We're out working every night because people pay good money for their Christmas lights," said Hutchins.
Hutchins says this is the worst dust storm he's seen in a while. He said he'd much rather have a snow storm because it's easier on the lights.

Schwarzenegger is back, and Hollywood hopes he's still a star
By Ronald Grover and Zorianna Kit
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - As he famously droned on-screen in his signature "Terminator" movies, Arnold Schwarzenegger is back.
A year after leaving the California governor's office and becoming tabloid fodder for fathering a boy with his family's housekeeper and splitting with his wife, Maria Shriver, the 65-year old former bodybuilder will star in no less than three Hollywood movies over the next 12 months.
None are likely to win Schwarzenegger an Oscar. Indeed, the movies, and Schwarzenegger's own fee, are low-budget compared with his global blockbusters of yore. But studio executives are betting that overseas fans especially will once again respond to a personality whose 24 films generated worldwide ticket sales of $3.9 billion, according to boxoffice.com.
"He is still a worldwide star who resonates with action audiences around the world," said Rob Friedman, the co-chairman of the Lionsgate motion picture group, which is scheduled to release his next two films. "The Last Stand" will open on January 18, and "The Tomb" in September.
"Ten," the third film, is scheduled for release in January 2014 by Open Road Films, a joint venture of the AMC and Regal Theater chains.
"When you have left the movie business for seven years, it's kind of a scary thing to come back because you don't know if you're accepted or not," Schwarzenegger said at a Saturday press event for "The Last Stand."
"There could be a whole new generation of action stars that come up in the meantime."
The actor said he was "very pleasantly surprised" by what he called a "great reaction" to his cameo in the 2010 action film "The Expendables," which featured fellow action stars Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham. The film grossed $103.1 million in U.S. ticket sales and $274.5 million worldwide. Continued...

text: Vermont looks to juggle money to help Mylan Technologies expand By The Associated Press September 11, 2013 Story Share MONTPELIER, Vt. -- A special Vermont state panel that can take budget actions when lawmakers aren't in session on Wednesday approved a plan to use $5.5 million in state funds to help Mylan Technologies expand in St. Albans, Vt.The Emergency Board voted unanimously to move the money temporarily from the state corrections budget to provide financing for a project to aid Mylan in its plan to expand in downtown St. Albans.Lawmakers are expected to approve the shift, and then find other money to restore the corrections budget, as they work through a mid-fiscal-year budget adjustment bill after they return in January.The plan is to allow Mylan, a maker of skin patches that deliver generic medications, to expand into the St. Albans state office building. The state, in turn, would move its roughly 200 workers to new quarters in downtown St. Albans by late next year."We have a very exciting renaissance going on in St. Albans," Gov. Peter Shumlin said as he began the meeting of the Emergency Board, a panel that includes him and the four chairs of the House and Senate budget and tax committees. "I'm really excited about the projects going on up there."Lawrence Miller, secretary of commerce and community development, provided a report from an economics firm indicating Mylan was expected to add about 100 jobs as it expands. The current state office building is across Houghton Street in St. Albans from the Mylan campus. "They're stretched at the seams on their lot," Miller said. "By buying the state office building they'll be able to move folks out of their existing space and put new manufacturing lines in their existing space quickly."Calls to Mylan, based in Somerset, Pa., and Morgantown, W.Va., were not immediately returned Wednesday.Miller said the state workers would be moved into new space being developed by ReAarch Co. of South Burlington. He said the sale of the existing state office building to Mylan is scheduled to close by Nov. 15, but the state would lease back the space for about a year, while their new quarters are being prepared."That way they only have to move once," Miller said.The Nov. 15 closing is needed to make the project eligible for $3 million in federal tax credits to help defray its total $12.5 million cost.Economic and Policy Resources Inc., which consulted on planning for the St. Albans project, produced the estimate of 100 new jobs. It said other benefits of the project would be a new parking garage in St. Albans to accommodate the state workers at their new location as well as visitors to the city, and street design changes to improve traffic flow.

Where I stayed
Private Apartment
We went kayaking with Kayak Venice in lagoons, grand canal and small canals. Kayak Venic is the only kayak company in Venice. The owner Ren� Seindal is from Denmark. He recently did the paperwork to make his company an Italian company. We are joined by five women from Scotland and a second guide, an American woman Cori.
We don't take any photos, to avoid salt water on our cameras. We found the kayaking easy. In the open lagoons the waves and wake from other boats were not very choppy.
The price is €100 per person which was reasonable since it included equipment, guides and
insurance. Lunch was extra. Every trip route will be a little different
We had a great time. The guides and other guests were good company. The only downside is that there is lots of boat traffic to negotiate. Also the water in the smaller canals is dirty. When I touched a wall with my hand, a gondolier told me to watch out for rats.
The tours start from the Campeggio (camping) San Nicol� on the north end of Lido. It looked liked a good grass campsite with clean toilets and showers. No one was camping there yet – too early in the season. Campground website is www.campingsannicolo.com.
In the afternoon we had a gelato break at a store 'San Stae'. The friendly owner is the person who told us about the kayak company. Her website is www.gelateriasanstae.com.
Ren� Seindal (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Venice Kayak - http://www.venicekayak.com/
Gondolas are the only commercial non-motorized boat in Venice
We kayak from from 10:00 am. To 5:30pm, including a long lunch break and a gelato break.
Our guide says that boat don't like sharing the waterways with kayaks. He says kayaks can legally go anyway in Venice except part of the military Arsenale area. One man steering a garbage boat got annoyed when we were in his way.
The etiquette is to travel on the left hand side of the canal as gondolas do. Rene was careful to make sure were were obeying kayaking rules and etiqquette and that we were safe.
I don't know our entire route, but we did kayak under the Rialto Bridge and by the Rialto market. This is one of the oldest and busiest area of Venice. We also kayaked by the Ca Or and stop at the San Pietro church. At the Arsenale, we could not go in the restricted area, but went under a bridge which involved ducking our heads. We travel a few parts of the Grand canal but more on smaller canals
Steve adds: "Dodging public boats, yelled at by Gondoliers, going through canals barely wider than my 220cm kayak blade. The double Cristina and I used had no rudder nor skeg. Hence, I had to rely on my technique, which is poor, since I always use a rudder. Fortunately Rene did have a carbon paddle. The tides are only 1 meter; hence, the water is salty. It was the most boat traffic I have ever dealt with".

Feeling inspired at the Summit
I was so excited to be at the espnW Women + Sports Summit -- and it only took a few minutes for me to feel inspired. I started to get teary-eyed just hearing the stories of the Everyday Heroes who've worked so hard to give girls unique opportunities in sports, and I was thinking, Thank god it's mostly women here so I don't have to be embarrassed to be emotional already!
I was honored to be on a panel with basketball player Tina Charles, sprinter Sanya Richards-Ross and swimmer Janet Evans. I'll admit that I did sneak a picture with Tina because my parents both went to UConn and they love watching her, when she was in college and now in the WNBA. We were never allowed to even walk into the room if my dad was watching UConn basketball, so I can't wait to go home and tell him that I got to meet her.
Wednesday's keynote speech by Michelle Kwan was incredible, as well. She has always been a hero of mine and we did a couple of photo shoots together a few years back, but our paths rarely cross now. I'm excited to talk with her again because she's a phenomenal person and has accomplished so much in figure skating and in her life after retirement. Her work as a board member for the Special Olympics is impressive, and I aspire to be like her.
Seeing all Michelle has done helps me to look ahead to what I want to achieve later in life. When I'm finished with snowboarding, I know I want to give back to the sport and try to help it gain even more exposure. But I also want to go beyond that to make an impact on the world around me, and Michelle is a role model for me in that way.
Everything has been a bit of a whirlwind lately. I just got back into the country from offseason training in New Zealand (and an awesome surfing side trip to Fiji). I headed straight here to the Summit and I'm so glad I did. Being around all of these women who have accomplished so much makes me motivated to train even harder. I'm coming off of a rough couple of years with a bad ACL injury, but now I'm stronger than ever. I'm physically and mentally ready, and I'll be back in competition in December in Austria. The women here have inspired me to want that gold medal in Sochi even more, and they've also given me a lot of ideas for ways I can give back when my competition days are over.
Lindsey Jacobellis is an Olympic silver medalist and seven-time X Games gold medalist in snowboard cross.

Dutch Oven Dessert- Campy Dad's Apple Dumpling Recipe
Looking for an easy and scrumptious Dutch oven dessert recipe for your next camping trip? Well, we've got you covered. Today, we are sharing the Campy Dad's Apple Dumpling Dessert recipe.
Not only is this a wonderful camping dessert, but this recipe is dear to my heart. While we were dating, my hubby cooked this for me. He actually cooked it in the oven. The good news is that not only is it easy for bachelors to cook, but it also makes a great dessert around the campfire.
Cooking Ingredients:
2 apples
4 tsp sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
1/2 C water
1 pkg crescent rolls
Cooking Instructions:
- Wash apples and peel them.
- Slice the apples into 8 pieces.
- Take a crescent triangle and roll an apple slice up in it. Repeat with all 8 crescents.
- Place all the apple dumplings into the Dutch oven.
- Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the apple dumplings.
- Pour water over the dumplings.
- Cover the Dutch oven with the lid. Then sit the Dutch oven on the hot coals in the campfire and add hot coals on top of the lid as well.
- Cook for approximately 20-35 minutes until the rolls are browned. When cooking this recipe at home, bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- Enjoy! By the way, this dessert is even better topped with vanilla ice cream.
This looks fantastic! I think this might have to make a appearance on our next outing.

With an afternoon or evening of grilling on your schedule, you have two choices when it comes to what to wear: the rattiest t-shirt you own, or a nice shirt that's all but guaranteed to get dirty. Instead, simply don this ruggedly stylish canvas apron. It provides a barrier between you and all the flyaway sauces and marinades that come with being King of the Grill.
I don't cook on a regular basis, and when I do, I dont see a need for an apron. The apron looks manly enough, but I just can't forsee using this product, nor is it implied in my profile that I would enjoy it. This with the cufflinks from last month makes me wonder if profiles are taken into consideration prior to sending boxes.3

OK, Blue Jays, Let's (Finally) Play Ball
It's Opening Day in Toronto. Or, as it's been rechristened by tradition-trouncing bean-counters in cahoots with television executives who probably think a full count is a European nobleman after a really big meal: Opening Day, er, night.
All of which is to say that as of around 7 p.m., when 125-million-dollars-worth of terrific talent takes the field for the home side at the Rogers Centre, and knuckleballer R.A. Dickey lets fly (or lets float) that first pitch -- we will be finally able to utter those three beautiful words: Baseball Is Back.
For Blue Jays fans, it's been a long off-season. Longer than most. Because not only were the faithful pining for the return of the game they so love, they were also pumped-up to the point of near-bursting with anticipation, wildly anxious to see the new-look squad that had been creatively cobbled together in the winter by the team's inventive architect, GM Alex Anthopoulos. Fans, say hello to the likes of the aforementioned Dickey, Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buerhle, Melky Cabrera, Emilio Bonifacio and manager John Gibbons, returning for a second tour of duty.
All in all, a contingent that tops the AL East in many preseason polls. That's right, tops. Ahead of the rebuilding BoSox, the over-the-hill Yankees, the fluky Orioles and even the once-devilish Rays of Tampa.
How high are anticipation levels? Opening Day sold out in about three minutes. You'd have thought the Beatles had been resurrected and reunited. Hey, Blue Jays, they love you, ya, ya, ya. Suddenly it's 1993 all over again and the ballpark is a hip and happening place to be.
This great, perpetually sold out, temple to Baseball is celebrating its 100th Anniversary this year. Fenway has a bizarrely shaped outfield, rowdy fans and few of the modern amenities that have ballgames more and more family friendly over the last two decades. This is exactly the point. Fenway is a baseball stadium for people who love baseball. The stadium sits within walking distance of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts and a throw away from Newbury Street, the high-end shopping avenue that leads to the Common. This is Boston's beating heart. Home Opener: April 13
The newest monument to baseball is a 37,000 seat stadium outside of Miami where the relocated Marlins will play in air conditioned comfort a short ride away from Florida's center of cool. Yes, the new uniforms are ridiculous looking, but the park isn't and the owners are gambling that the fans here are ready to get behind this team, which has a lot of Latin flavor. Home Opener: April 4 (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

The Mets are a very bad baseball team. Terrible really. But there is a silver lining to all the financial and lineup problems: Going to a game is very cheap and, most of the time, there is at least one professionally looking ballclub in the house. Citi Field is the anti-Yankees Stadium. It isn't particularly glamorous, but it is accessible and doable for people who want to go to a last minute game. Tell you friends you saw a game in New York. They'll probably just assume you went to the Bronx anyway. Home Opener: April 5
PNC Park seems like a metaphor for what Pittsburgh could be. The ballpark is only a decade old, but seems like a throwback to a more traditional era, embracing a sort of Americana meets the 21st century aesthetic. The views are beautiful and the park sits close to a beautiful park and the always alluring National Aviary. No, the Pirates aren't a great team, but Pittsburgh is a great sports town and the fans are terrific. Home Opener: April 5
Camden Yards is everything a stadium should be. It is huge, but intimate, modern but traditional. This year Earl Weaver will be tossing out the first pitch for the Orioles, a tribute to both his career with the club and the club's respect for baseball history. The fact that the National Aquarium and the Charm City's waterfront is nearby doesn't hurt. Home Opener: April 4
Like Fenway, Wrigley Field is more than just a ballpark. This is a critical piece of Chicago history and a major part of the city's landscape. After the game, walk towards the lake to enjoy open parks and stunning views. Wearing a Cubbies hat and reciting the poem "Tinkers to Evers to Chance" will win you a lot of friends. Don't try to catch foul balls that fielders might be able to reach. Seriously. Home Opener: April 5
The two biggest reason to head to Citizens Bank Park: The Phillies are great and their fans are crazy. Travelers may want to dress in red and white if they want to enter this temple to mass psychosis, but those who do will find a perfectly manicured field and sweeping views of the City of Brotherly Love. The one downside. There isn't much nearby, just some really epic parking lots. Home Opener: April 5
The Evil Empire's new stadium is proof that America's love affair with baseball is as passionate as ever. The massive stadium offers great views from almost every seat and affords true fans the priceless opportunity to join the home crowd in heckling A-Rod for being a jerk. New York is one of the most popular destinations in the world and seeing a game is an absolute must. Go to Citi Field if you're on a budget. If you aren't, go to Yankee Stadium. Home Opener: April 13 Correction: A previous version of this slide showed the old Yankee stadium. We regret the error.
Led by their eccentric pitching staff, the Giants are one of the most exciting teams in baseball and ames at AT&T are almost uniformly engaging. That said, the view of the bay and the sunshine might not make up for the crowd's consistently blase attitude. Be prepared to have to explain the Infield Fly Rule to a computer programmer. There is a Build-A-Bear Workshop in the outfield. Seriously. Home Opener: April 6
The opening game of the 2012 season was played by the Seattle Mariner and Oakland Athletics in Tokyo, making the Tokyo Dome the least convenient place to see a MLB game. Just because the opening series is over, doesn't mean the Dome is empty. Catch a Yomiuri Giants game here or just a Superhero show, which is apparently a thing. Because the stadium is also the home of the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame, it is the perfect place for foreigners to take in a few innings and a bit of history. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)

mikefrombisbee:Billy Martin and Clint Courtney fought here in 1947. The NY Giants and the White Sox played there in 1913 on their World Tour. Three of the Black Sox and others banned from baseball played here in an outlaw league in the 1920s. Warren Ballpark in historic Bisbee, AZ dates back to 1909. Although it's no longer a minor league park, it remains in use year-round for high school football and baseball, semi-pro summer baseball, vintage base ball and other community events.

And, naturally, with such anticipation comes equally high expectations. Alas, this is Toronto we're talking about, where fans tend to fall into two categories: unrealistically optimistic ("Forget the World Series, man -- can you say Ming? -- yeah, this team's an instant, automatic dynasty!"), and hopelessly pessimistic ("This team will suffer a few key injuries and become the under-performing laughing stock of the American League East Division, if not all of Major League Baseball.")
Truth be told, it's high time to bust out the platitudes about having to actually play all 162 games before anything is decided, and about how no team wins anything on paper. And tonight is just Game One. Granted, given the 100-plus-year tradition of Opening Days in baseball, it's a bit more than just a game. It's a game that will become, win or lose, part of team lore -- and, face it, you can't automatically say that about, say, the second game of the season, or the seventh, or the 53rd, or...
Opening Day makes old-timers turn misty. They remember the Blue Jays inaugural home opener at Exhibition Stadium in the snow like it was yesterday, or, at least, 13,500 yesterdays ago (37 years ago -- April 7, 1977 -- for those not up for the advanced calculations). They remind how the fans chanted not for stellar pitching, or the long ball, or even the home team, so much as for... beer. Exhibition Stadium, you'll recall, was a dry venue at the time; no matter, the suds would have just froze anyway.
Blustery broadcasters will tell you that Opening Day "sets the tone for the season." But that's just gasbags adding gravitas where it doesn't belong. Are they seriously suggesting that if you blow Opening Day, the "tone" for the next 161 games is in jeopardy? That said, blow Opening Month and all that anticipation you built-up over the winter starts to deflate.
Because there is a point where Blue Jay fans -- the unrealistically optimistic and the hopelessly pessimistic -- converge. And that's at the point of fickleness. Get off to a bad start, get spat upon by Lady Luck, get behind in the standings, and emergency wards across The Big Smoke will be filled with orthopedic cases. Fans hurt and hobbled. Sprained ankles. Twisted knees. Busted legs. The sort of injuries incurred when... leaping off a bandwagon.
Opening Day, er, night. OK, Blue Jays, let's (finally) play ball.

Home > Patient's Guide > Glossary of Terms > Fibrillation
Glossary of Terms
A term used to describe certain irregular heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias.
The human heart is divided into the right and left side. Each side of the heart is made up of 1) an atrium and 2) a ventricle. The atrium on each side is a receiving chamber. The right atrium receives the blood from the body after it has been used by the body's organs. The left atrium receives the newly oxygenated blood from the lungs. The atria pump the blood into their respective ventricles. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, while the left ventricle pumps blood out to the body. The pumping, or contraction, of the atria and ventricles is a coordinated rhythmic motion.
Fibrillation can affect either the atria or the ventricles. With fibrillation the purposeful, coordinated and rhythmic contraction is lost. The fibrillating heart chamber produces uncoordinated movement that does not result in any useful contraction. Atrial fibrillation is not life-threatening, but can cause a decrease in blood pressure, tiredness, and is usually treatable with medication. Sometimes a small shock, known as cardioversion, is used to shock the atria back into a normal rhythm. In severe cases surgery may be performed.
Ventricular fibrillation, on the other hand, is a life-threatening arrhythmia, which requires emergency treatment. The treatment for ventricular fibrillation is medication and delivery of a counter shock, known as de-fibrillation. This de-fibrillation is what you see when the soap opera doctors shock a patient in the ER and yell "clear!"

Lucky Miles
For a country founded by boat people, we don't show much enthusiasm for films about migrants. There are only a handful of features in the past 40 years that deal with their stories - although that may be changing.
It's almost as if we're ashamed of how we - the non-indigenous we - all got here. Australia has no Ellis Island to focus pride on, and few monuments to the courage of those who risked everything to start afresh. Immigration since 1946 has probably changed this country more than any single factor, but you'd never know it from our national cinema. It's as if we came from nowhere.
Lucky Miles is a likeable addition to the small genre of films that say we came from somewhere. I was expecting it to be worthy, but it's more clever than that. It's a comedy for a start, which is unexpected. Michael James Rowland, making his feature debut, may have a lot on his mind to do with globalisation and the politics of Australia's unwelcome mat, but he hides it well behind a story that's like a variation of The Wizard of Oz without Dorothy or the dog.
A dozen or so men land on a beach in the Pilbara region of Western Australia in 1990, in a shimmer of white sand and pounding waves. "Welcome to paradise," says the Indonesian pirate/fisherman who drops them there. I don't think he means it literally. He shouts from the boat that they must climb the dunes to find the bus stop just beyond. He and his two crew then crank their boat to life and putter off to the north, laughing to themselves.
The men on the beach are Iraqis and Cambodians. When they realise they've been dumped, they separate by nationality and head in opposite directions. There's no solidarity in adversity for these guys.
One of the Cambodians has an Australian father who left Phnom Penh in 1972 and never came back. Arun (Kenneth Moraleda) has only the business card his dad left with his mother, giving an address in Perth. He is determined to walk there, using a hand-drawn map. He has no idea it's 2000 kilometres to the south. We're never told what happened to his mother, but we can guess. The film rarely labours the tragedies these characters have left behind because Rowland doesn't want any shortcuts to easy sympathy. Indeed, he does the opposite by styling his three leading characters as hard cases. That's a sophisticated decision because no one likes to be hectored and it's funnier if we don't initially like these guys. Comedy is a blood sport, after all, even when your purpose is ultimately compassionate.
The Iraqis head inland, led by the bossiest of their number, Saleh (Majid Shokor). The crankiest one, Youssif (Rodney Afif), questions his every decision and soon finds himself alone in the burnt-out scrub, an Iraqi engineer in a white suit with only one shoe. Youssif is so angry that you wonder why they didn't throw him overboard on the way over. He wanders the bush practising his asylum speech and cursing this terrible place. "I am seeking asylum in your country under the United Nations treaty of 1951." The anger in Afif's performance is one of the highlights of the movie - it's so true and so powerful that it gives the film a real boulder of reality.
The film was shot mostly in South Australia, but it's convincing as northern Australia. Geoff Burton, a veteran of shooting in far corners of the continent (he did Sunday Too Far Away in 1975), gives the landscape a blistered beauty, with no hint of human habitation. The strangers do not fully understand how stuffed they are.
The Cambodians eventually wander into an outback pub and are picked up by the police - all except Arun, whose survival instincts are honed by God-knows-what awful experiences. He runs into the scrub and straight into the whining Youssif. The three Indonesian fisherman are by now stranded ashore, too, because their boat has sunk. The pirate captain Muluk (Sawung Jabo) leads his cousin Abdu (Arif Hidayat) north, towards Broome. The third sailor, Ramelan (Srisacd Sacdpraseuth), goes his own way because he caused the sinking, and he eventually runs into Youssif and Arun. The three stooges have now found each other.
The number three is the organising principle of the script. There are three strands of story, for instance: the stooges, the two Indonesians, and the story of the patrol of Australian army reservists sent to track them. There are three men in that patrol, of course: Sergeant O'Shane (Glenn Shea) and troopers Plank (Don Hany) and Collins (Sean Mununggurr). Collins is a black tracker; O'Shane might be black but he's no tracker. Plank is a whitefella who just thinks it's very hot.
The comedy is slow to develop, but everything that Rowland does is very controlled. Indeed, that is my only real criticism of the movie - it's a little too deliberate, to the point of being crafty. It doesn't really damage the drama, partly because Rowland gets terrific performances from his three main actors, but it does make it a little self-conscious.
Part of what it's about is adaptation - both how these desperate men adapt to each other (which takes some time) and to the world around them. It's not couched in terms of us and them because the three Aussie reservists also have varying degrees of comfort in this landscape. The only one who really knows what he's doing out there (somewhat predictably) is the tracker Collins, played by one of the young actors from Yolngu Boy.
Rowland and co-writer Helen Barnes wrote the film based on their
research into the stories of people who arrived in the north of
Australia in similar circumstances. A lot of it made my eyes water,
and only some of that was from laughter. It's a wry, perceptive and
wily piece of filmmaking, a comic parable for our times.

Djay is so good that Apple has used it in an iPhone advert. Accolades don't come much better than that. Seriously though, this is a pretty impressive DJing app. It turns your iPhone into a set of virtual decks so you can perform live or record mixes on the go.
It integrates near-seamlessly with your iPod library and the low latency sound engine means there aren't awkward delays between interacting with the controls and hearing the results in your mix. The app is also packed with features to help you beat-match tunes, tweak EQ levels and loop sections of tracks. It looks top notch too and the controls are about as well designed as you're likely to get on the iPhone.
DJay is probably the best DJing app on the iPhone right now, and at its special offer price of 59p it's an absolute steal.
I have to admit that DJay application is awesome! As a DJ myself I've been waiting a long time to get an app that replicates the pitch control and cue capabilities of a real Vinyl/CDJ deck. This app means I can use my iPhone as a spare or additional deck should something go wrong with my setup. I'm even tempted to get an iPad just to have use of the bigger touch screen for this.

"I know the importance of the Mexican people to boxing and we are very honored and proud to be here to speak about this great event that will be held at one of the most modern and beautiful stadiums in the world," said Bob Arum of Top Rank.
Jerry Jones, owner, president and general manager of the Cowboys was very excited to speak about the fight and his great stadium.
"I know boxing is about passion and that's what Cowboys Stadium is to me. I empty my bucket to build the best stadium in the world and I expect no less of my Cowboys or anyone that performs there. That is why I'm so proud to have Manny Pacquiao to be the first boxer to throw a punch there, I know he always give his all in the ring," said Jones.
Present at Mexico City were Mario San Roman, general manager of TV AZTECA, Rodrigo Fernandez, Azteca 7, Fernando Beltran, president of Promociones Zanfer, Jose Sulaiman, president of the World Boxing Council, and boxers: Jose Luis Castillo, Alfonso Gomez and Salvador Sanchez, nephew of the great Salvador Sanchez who signed a promotional contract with Top Rank today in Monterrey, Mexico.
"This fight is a great and very competitive fight between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey and that's why we can host it at the Cowboys Stadium where only the best in world will compete," said Jones.
Castillo who is on full comeback mode looks forward to the opportunity to fight in a major card.
"I have been fighting very frequently over the last year and feel that I am ready to take on better and stronger opponents and I feel that Alfonso Gomez is a good quality opponent for me to show everyone that I can get back to world title contention a at either 140 or 147 pounds," said Castillo.
Gomez, who has wins over the late Arturo Gatti and Jesus Soto Karass is looking for another big victory.
"I now its going to be a hard fight against Jose Luis Castillo, but I know I ready for it and will go home with another great victory on my record on March 13," said Gomez.
Sanchez, who is managed by Elvis Grant Phillips was with the fighter in both Mexico and Monterrey.
"I'm very happy to be with Top Rank the best boxing promoters in the world and will do my best to continue the family tradition that my uncle started in the ring," said Sanchez.
In Monterrey, today the event was hosted by Tecate, in their brewery Cuahutemoc Moctezuma head quarters and it was televised live in the state of Nuevo Leon.
Jorge Luis Ramos, the general manager of the brewery, Cuahutemoc Moctezuma and Daniel Cuellar, the marketing director of the beer company, were present at this event along with Jones, Arum, Beltran, and the boxers, Castillo, Gomez and Sanchez.
"For Tecate is a great honor to be part of this event. We are proud of our Mexican boxers and are great full to Top Rank and Zanfer for giving them the opportunity to showcase their talent all over the world. We will continue to support boxing because its very special and has given us some our most memorable moments," said Jose Luis Ramos.
The two day tour ended yesterday, and Castillo, Gomez and Sanchez flew to California to continue training, Castillo in Big Bear and the other two in Los Angeles.

G.A.P Adventures takes up to 106 passengers on its low-impact M/S Explorer from Edinburgh to the Norwegian coast—stopping at the Orkneys, Shetland Islands, Bear Island, and Svalbard. Spot enough puffins, minke whales, kittiwakes, reindeer, and walruses—and, if you're lucky, an elusive polar bear—to fill your camera's memory card. You'll also benefit from the knowledge of the ship's team of naturalists during shore excursions. G.A.P asks that travelers donate to the trip-long Dollar-A-Day Program to assist communities visited during the cruise; it will also match funds generated from on-board auctions (items include vintage watercolor sea charts) to support polar bear preservation research.
Trip Tip: Take a dive off the main deck before a sauna. It's as invigorating as it is cold.
Luxury Level: The Explorer's modest cabins include some triples and large suites, each with a private bathroom and windows overlooking ice floes and glaciers.

President-elect Barack Obama is naming his basketball buddy (and Chicago Public Schools chief) Arne Duncan to head up the U.S. Department of Education, not former S.C. Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum.
Obviously, this choice doesn't change the fact that Obama's education policies are more of the same-old same-old (except more expensive), nor does it change the fact that there is a whole lot going on in that picture of Tenenbaum blowing out birthday candles.
First of all, the woman beside Tenenbaum is wearing a neon-striped dress that has absolutely no place in this – or the previous decade.
Seriously, lady. 1980 called. It wants its Benetton back.
Then there's the frosting-based White House on the front of the cake. Seriously, WTF? If that's an Obama birthday cake, why is Tenenbaum blowing out his candles?
Finally, what's up with the girl in the background taking a picture of Tenenbaum's ass?
We've heard of recording events for posterity, but that's ridiculous.
Of course we'd be lying if we said we didn't want a copy of that image, stat.
In fact, for those of you wondering what to get Sic Willie for Christmas …

Rocker contacting top of retainer on vortec heads
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but here's my dilemma. I thought I had this ALL figured out. I've got the #906 vortec heads, Comp 26918 springs(recommended installed height 1.80") 787 retainers and +.050 locks. This gave me my necessary height and retainer to seal clearance, with NO machining. I don't like the idea of taking away that much material from the guides and seat, especially since the guide is ALSO the spring locator. I don't even know if ANY material can be taken away from seat to increase installed height? Now my rockers are contacting on many of the retainers. If I put the standard locks in place plenty of valve tip is available, however, that takes away my retainer to seal clearance AND increases my seat pressure to approx. 144 lbs. I feel my only option is +.100 longer valves. I will take up any extra height with -.050 locks OR shims. I know I'll have to keep the geometry correct at final assembly via pushrods. BTW, cam is 222-230 dur. .509/.528 lift @ .050 with 1.5 rockers. I'll be using Comp 1.52 rollers(self aligning). Screw in studs are already in place. As stated, I already have ALL these parts. Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated.

The American economy lost another 85,000 jobs in December according to the U.S. Department of Labor, a surprise uptick that tempered some of last month's "irrational exuberance" on the employment front.
Forecasters had predicted that the economy would create jobs in December, which many believed would signal the beginning of a recovery from what many are now calling the "Great Recession."
It didn't happen.
The Labor Department did revise November's employment data to show a net gain of 4,000 jobs, but it also added 16,000 new job losses to October's total. That means the economy shed 127,000 additional jobs in October instead of the 111,000 originally reported.
Obviously, that's better than the massive job losses of the first few months of 2009 (when the economy was shedding as many as 700,000 jobs a month) but little comfort to the millions of still-unemployed workers.
Speaking of which, the U.S. unemployment rate remained unchanged at 10% in December, which in human terms translates to 15.3 million people who are currently out-of-work. By contrast, when the U.S. recession began in December 2007, 7.7 million people were out of work and the unemployment rate was 5%.
Meanwhile the "underemployment rate" – which includes those who have given up the job hunt or who have been forced to work part-time – inched up to 17.3%.

Today's Hours: 12PM – 5PM
This exhibition celebrates the career of Mo Willems, the author and illustrator known for his humorous and artful children's books. A host of family activities across the Woodruff Arts Center campus, including theatrical productions based on Willems's books produced by the Alliance Theatre, complement the exhibition.
"I'll be your best friend! / How 'bout I give you five bucks? / No fair! / I bet your mom would let me," 2003, reprint [2013]
Published illustration for Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (Hyperion Books for Children, 2003)

Part of the Pigeon's great appeal is his unbridled, childlike emotion. These pages' neutral backgrounds, used to indicate the Pigeon's emotional state, are transformed to a fiery orange in a subsequent spread. What especially engages young readers is the apparent shifting of roles they are the ones who can say, "NO!" to the Pigeon's demands.
Since the publication of his first picture book in 2003, Mo Willems (American, born 1968) has delighted children and parents alike with his prodigious contribution to children's publishing.
After a successful stint in television, Willems turned to writing and illustrating picture books. The beginning was auspicious; Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (2003) garnered a Caldecott Honor. This success launched Willems as one of the most popular creators of children's books in the new century.
The hilariously comedic informs all of Willems's books, originating from his early calling in stand-up comedy as well as writing and animating for Sesame Street. Willems achieves his goal with expressiveness, pacing, and clean, spare design. His work is simple without being simplistic.
Willems's substantial body of work exudes the dedication and finesse of an accomplished craftsman – which is how he likes to be considered – yet one cannot deny his profound artistry. Happily, he loves marrying the silly with the serious, and we are all the better for it.

Mo Willems began his career as a writer and animator for Sesame Street, where he wrote extensively for Elmo and created the character Suzie Kabloozie. His work at Sesame Street won him six Emmy awards. In 1999, Willems traveled to Oxford, England seeking inspiration for a children's book. Inspiration found him in the form of a hectoring pigeon, who began to appear in the margins of his sketchbook. Willems's children's book career was born with the first Pigeon book, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (2003), and the rambunctious Pigeon has been the subject of numerous beloved books since.
Willems's training in animation comes to the fore in his working method. For much of his work, he generates a preliminary idea in blue pencil and then makes subsequent corrections and alterations in red. The sketch reveals Willems working out the character's poses, gestures, and expressions in red pencil before capturing the next iteration in black pencil. He renders the final version in black grease pencil, and color is added digitally.

We spent a few days walking around the city visiting the Cathedrals, plazas and eating pizza's everywhere (gotta compare!). Had the best Gelati ever, peach & mango flavored, on the top of the hill where Michaelangelo has his statue. What a view! (see pics).
I loved Florence, possibly my favorite Italian city, just because its so characteristic and ancient and just has amazing buildings wherever you look.
We stayed just outside of the city in a lovely youth camping, but unfortunately there was an aopera concert on both night till 4 in the morning, which was LOUD (as in we could not really hear each other talk in the tent) so we didn't get too much sleep.
After Florence we drove on the Toll roads and part of the village roads to get to Rome...

The Hudson Valley Community College men's basketball team (20-10) lost to Fulton-Montgomery Community College (16-10) 86-66 on Friday evening in the opening round of the Region III Tournament.
The Vikings fell behind by 19 points and cut the lead to eight, but the deficit was too much to overcome. Conor Maisch (Coleman Catholic/Kingston) led the team with 13 points and Anthony Metzold (Schalmont/Schenectady) came off the bench and chipped in 12.
The Vikings finish the season with a 20-10 record.

PC Safety101 HTML version
You may experience a slight speed lag from time to time as the scans run, but
this is a small price to pay for keeping your machine safe.
Finally, every once in a while there may be a virus that moves across the Web so
fast that the major antivirus programs will all miss it. In almost every situation
like this, the companies will develop a specific software tool that you can
download for free, that will allow you to remove the "one that got away."
The importance of common sense
When you were young, your mother told you not to talk to strangers. That was
good advice then, and it's good advice now in many situations! To minimize
your computer's exposure to viruses, be sure to observe the following guidelines:
• Never open email unless you know where it is from
• Never click on executable files in email unless you know exactly what it is,
and where it is from
• Never say "yes" to unexpected dialogue box questions when surfing the
• Never say "yes" to unknown download requests
Between that, and good antivirus software, it should be pretty rare for you to
have a virus on your system.
Unfortunately, Spyware and Adware are not as easily avoided.
You may be familiar with spyware, as it has been in the news a lot in the last year
or two, and finally the major software companies are responding with updates to
their security software designed to defeat this annoying and potentially very
damaging stuff.
While spyware is, to most people, a recent phenomenon in 2005, in fact what
could be called spyware (see our definition above) effectively started back in
1996, on what at that time was the most popular ISP, America Online. There was
a piece of malicious software designed to grab confidential information of
subscribers, the so-called AOL Password Trojans.

Conference on "20 years of the Congress and the Committee of the Regions – representation of regions and local communities in the Council of Europe and the European Union"
Innsbruck, 27 February 2014
Opening speech by Andreas Kiefer, Secretary General of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe
Check against delivery
Presidents van Staa and van den Brande,
Secretary General Stahl,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
On this jubilant occasion, I would like to join my voice in congratulating our two assemblies – the Congress and the Committee of the Regions – on their 20th anniversaries. Building a vibrant democracy from the bottom up, in our towns, cities and regions, has always been their raison d'être, determining our action for the past twenty years – and, in case of the Congress and its predecessor Conference, for more than half a century. We have been the driving force for bringing democratic governance to the doorstep of our citizens, for the devolution of power through decentralisation and regionalisation on our continent. This means taking responsibilities by local and regional politicians and developing new ways of associating our citizens in the decision making process by complementing representative democracy with participatory and direct democracy. Today, we have solid accomplishments to show, beginning with the legal basis.
The European Charter of Local Self-Government and its Protocol on citizen participation, the Madrid Convention on cross-border co-operation between territorial communities and its three Protocols, the Reference Framework for Regional Democracy, the European Charter of Regional or Minority Languages and the European Charter on youth participation in municipal and regional life, the Convention on the participation of foreigners at local level – these are among the milestones on this path.
Today, as the Charter of Local Self-Government is ratified by all 47 Council of Europe member states, and with more and more countries adhering to those Charter provisions that were not initially accepted, we are standing on the threshold of the Charter's universal application and a common European space of uniform standards for local democracy.
Together with the governments of the 47 member states the Congress has established a sound legal framework for the development of local and regional democracy and cross-border co-operation between communities. However, implementing this framework is another matter. Regular assessments by the Congress of the situation in member States have revealed such recurrent common issues as
· a lack of local competences or of the clarity in attributing responsibilities,
· insufficiency of financial resources and disproportional allocation of financial burdens to local governments,
· a lack of systematic and meaningful consultations with local authorities
· excessive supervision by higher levels,
· difficulties in exercising the right to appeal higher levels' decisions in court,
· ineffective coordination mechanisms in central/local government relations, and
· a lack of citizen participation in local public affairs.
These are just some of the problems faced today by local and regional governments. Our responses to these problems must be concrete and produce tangible results, reaching all levels of governance and our citizens at the grassroots. They require becoming less theoretical and more practical, more operational, more action-driven and result-oriented.
The world is changing fast, exposed to threats, tested by challenges – of which Ukraine is the starkest reminder today. We need to adjust to new realities of changing times. We cannot respond to today's challenges with yesterday's solutions and with theory alone. We need to develop a practical vision of the situation and of the way to improve it. We simply cannot be only setting standards and not be concerned with their practical application. Through their members, through their partner associations of local and regional authorities, the Congress and the Committee of the Regions must become actors in the field, on the ground, to advance their ideas.
This is why the Congress has undertaken a comprehensive reform in 2008-2010, to add a substantive operational aspect to its consultative and monitoring activities, and to engage in this respect with the intergovernmental sector and other partners. As a result, in addition to our political consultative work, we have re-oriented Congress activities to rest on four pillars:
- first, to pursue our core activities and to improve procedures and effectiveness of our monitoring and election observation;
- secondly, to develop post-monitoring and post-election observation dialogue with national governments, addressing the existing problems and helping with the implementation of our recommendations;
- thirdly, when it is necessary, to develop co-operation activities based on the results of our monitoring and post-monitoring dialogue, and focused on the priorities established by this Committee and the mandate given by our member states to the Congress. We are doing this in a spirit of synergy with the intergovernmental sector of the Council of Europe;
- and finally, to implement the policies of the Council of Europe with a strong local and regional dimension like the establishment of the Alliance of cities and regions for Roma inclusion, the campaign "1 in 5" to stop sexual violence against children or activities to strenghthen participation of young people in local and regional politics.
To become more efficient, our focus today is on creating a "virtuous cycle" of monitoring – post-monitoring – co-operation activities, translating the results of our monitoring and election observation into concrete improvements.
In this spirit, the Congress adopted in 2013 a resolution on developing post-monitoring dialogue with member states, in order to improve the Charter's application through a working political partnership with national authorities. We are currently pursuing this post-monitoring dialogue with the authorities of several countries – such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia and Portugal, with Ukraine being in the pipeline. This dialogue serves to draw up a roadmap for the implementation of Congress recommendations.
Further to post-monitoring dialogue, the Congress has launched co-operation activities to promote local governance and strengthen local elected representatives' role in political decision-making – both through our contribution to Council of Europe Action Plans for specific countries (for example, for Ukraine and Armenia as well as for Georgia, Azerbaijan and Moldova, which are being prepared) and through our own co-operation programmes – such as in Albania, Armenia and Ukraine.
We have also broadened and deepened our political dialogue both within the Council of Europe and with external partner institutions and member states, and have become a major stakeholder within the Council of Europe's institutional architecture, together with the Committee of Ministers, the Parliamentary Assembly and the Commissioner for Human Rights. Today, we have established a constant dialogue with the Committee of Ministers through regular exchanges of views with Permanent Representatives in Strasbourg and their Rapporteur Groups. As a result, the Congress is increasingly becoming not only a more pertinent political assembly but also an action-driven and result-oriented operational body.
I would like to conclude by stressing yet again that we must go beyond mere standard-setting and political declarations. We need concrete follow-up action to be successful. We need democratic commitment by local and regional politicians that goes beyond lip service. Most importantly, we need that people, our citizens, see this commitment in action. We need to regain their trust, to restore public confidence in politicians and institutions of governance.
For this, we need a vision and yes, we need "prophets" and visionary politicians, if you wish, that can lead us forward. It is thanks to these influential and visionary politicians that the Committee of the Regions was established under the Maastricht Treaty and that the leaders of the Council of Europe Member States decided to set up a Congress and entrust it with the task of monitoring the situation of local and regional democracy. More than 20 years ago there was an objective and goal: To set up institutions of local and regional politicians in the EU and in the Council of Europe.
Today we have to ask the question: Have the new instruments been properly used? If we take stock of the work, what have the Committee of the Regions and the Congress achieved? And where should they go? What are the values and goals, is it worth fighting for, thriving for?
These are some of the questions that this conference needs to ponder on:
· What do the Congress and the Committee of the Regions need to be successful and appreciated? Appreciated and valued by European Institutions (EU: Commission, Council, EP; CoE: CM, PACE, SG, member states governments,etc.?) and national instances.
· What level of representation do they have today in terms, for example, of mayors and regional presidents? Is it helpful that several delegations do not comprise a single member of a regional government and thus lack the concrete administrative experience?, Is this satisfactory, or should that be changed by the regions themselves?
· Do the members of the Congress and the Committee of the Regions have the necessary support from their respective administrations?
· Is there sufficient internal co-ordination and preparation for thematic debates, or are positions and views held in the national environment given up for the sake of "harmonized and europeanized" positions prepared by political groups along the party lines of the European families?
· How to ensure regular and direct contact to decision makers in national governments and parliaments?
I very much look forward to our discussions and to hearing ideas and proposals in response to these questions, and I would like to wish all of us a fruitful and constructive dialogue today.
Thank you.

Mike Lesko sees it, so does Brendan Howard, though it might have taken him a little longer to recognize it.
Howard, the talented 113-pound wrestler for Jefferson-Morgan High School, has taken a major step forward this season, and it does not have that much to do with moves, technique or strategy.
"He's maturing," said Lesko, the Rockets' head coach who was in the corner when Howard won his weight class in the Southmoreland Tournament with a 4-2 decision over Austin Griffiths of Southmoreland.
"You can see the confidence is there. He thinks he's the best. That's just maturity."
Howard has not exactly been struggling through his freshman and sophomore seasons. He is coming off a 40-win season that got him to the state tournament. Many see potential for even better results, including Howard.
"I wasn't happy going 0-2 at states," he said. "I'm trying to push the action more this year. I'm trying to score more points."
Howard will be part of a talented Jefferson-Morgan team that is one of the favorites to win the Tri-CADA Wrestling Tournament, which gets under way Friday at Ringgold High School. The first round begins at 4:30 p.m. Semifinals are at 10:30 a.m. Saturday and the finals are 2:30 p.m.
Howard has a 14-1 record, the only blemish a 3-0 loss to Gage Curry of North Hills. He will be competing in a strong weight class in the tournament, which could include Brendan Price of Canon-McMillan, Doug Gudenburr of Ringgold, Gage Nicolella of McGuffey and Tristan Buxton of Trinity.
"I was second there the last two seasons," he said. "I know I'll wrestle some tough kids. I'm just hoping this is my year."
Howard is closing in on his 100th career victory. He has 92 and could leave the Tri-CADA tournament at 96. With a year and a half remaining, Howard has a chance to challenge Dustin Conti's school record of 140 career wins.
"There is no defense in this kid," Lesko said. "It's all offense. I think that has turned the tide for Brendan. Names (of opponents) don't matter to him. He knows he has to pick it up for us, and he has. We need (pins) from him."
One of the names Howard has to be thinking about is Griffiths. Last season, the two were in the same weight class with Burgettstown's Austin McDermitt, making it one of the best in WPIAL Class AA.
Howard lost a 4-0 decision in the Section 2 finals in the only meeting last season. Howard kept running into McDermitt, which he failed to beat the final three times they wrestled. Stopping Griffiths in this year's Southmoreland Tournament was a boost.
"He always keeps it close," Howard said. "He's a smart wrestler."
But it was Howard who got the first takedown, and the second to take a 4-1 lead after one period. Griffiths could manage only an escape the rest of the way.
"He mat awareness is so much better," Lesko said. "He's making them wrestle his match. That makes him harder to beat."
Match For A Marine
The second Match For A Marine will be held Wednesday when Peters Township hosts Bethel Park Wednesday in Section 2-B.
All proceeds from the event, including admissions and concession sales, will be donated to a charitable organization that has been set up by the local VFW to directly benefit Marine Sgt. Doug Vitale.
Vitale, who wrestled for Kiski, was seriously injured while on patrol in Afghanistan, losing both legs and suffering multiple strokes. He is going through rehabilitation in Peters Township. Tunnel to Towers Foundation and The Gary Sinese Foundation are helping to build a home for the young couple that will accommodate his needs.
The Peters Township Dance Team, PT School District, VFW Post 764 and the Pittsburgh Leather Neck Detachment have supported the event. The goal is to have 1,000 people attend the match and raise $5,000 for the Vitale family. Last year, the event raised $29,000.
The Observer-Reporter Wrestling Rankings appear in the Scoreboard section on Page B2.
Franklin Regional remains the top team in Class AAA but Jefferson-Morgan replaces Burrell as the No. 1 Class AA team.
The rankings will be updated each week until the individual tournaments. Get even more information at www.joesmatmatters.blogspot.com.
The sites for the Feb. 15 section tournaments in Class AA are Chartiers-Houston (Section 1), Charleroi (Section 2) and Avonworth (Section 3). Start times for Avonworth is 11 a.m. and the other two are 10 a.m.
The sites for the Feb. 22 section tournaments in Class AAA are Gateway (Section 1), Baldwin (Section 2), Fox Chapel (Section 3) and Moon (Section 4). Start times are 9:30 a.m. for each site.
The WPIAL Class AA Championships will be held Feb. 21-22 at Chartiers Valley. The Class AAA event will be held Feb. 27-28 and March 1 at Canon-McMillan.
The PIAA Class AA Southwest Region Tournament is scheduled for the War Memorial in Johnstown Feb. 28 and March 1. The state championships are March 6-8 at the Giant Center in Hershey.

Liverpool Womens hospital has started kniting, and has asked other knitters to join them, in knitting breats to help teah mother how to breast feed and such.They began when they realised that the synthetic breats available to help trach new mother where simply too expensive to have enough for everyone and that there wasnt enough variety in size and shape to suit all the mothers. So they began knitting.
The official webpage and pattern is available here: http://www.lcgb.org/index.htm and it is a very worthwhile cause as well as a slightly different project to try.
Wow, what a great idea!! I breastfed both my daughters for about 15 months each, and the breastfeeding class I took was such a help!! Thanks for posting this.
Hmmmmm, breastfed my brood and can't imagine how a knitted breast would help :shrug:
Ginny, it is a learning tool for before the baby comes, I think.
OK...well I guess I'm too just to old to figure it out LOL :wall:
I also dont understand... :shrug:
this is the original news story. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/6346423.stm
The hospital runs lactation advice classes for new mums and mums-to-be. The lcasses include teaching them how to safely and correctly express milk using breast pumps etc, which is best not to be done on the womens own breast unless it is the 'right time. Instead they are supposed to use latex breats, howvere the latex breasts are expensive and the organisation was struggling to provide enough (and of suitable variation for the women) so oen of the nurses and her mum started knitting breats for the women to practice with.
