Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Criminal Minds. Sorry….but it's true.
A/N: Ahhhh! I'm so sorry, I know I promised to upload this last week but life kinda happened and I forgot. Am a bad authoress leaving you all waiting for me to update. Sorry! . Any way at long last here it is Chapter 3. Also before I forget thank you to everyone who has reviewed and added me to their Fav Author/Story list I am deeply humbled. So thank you. Okay enough of my waffle on with the story!
Chapter 3
Harry stared out of his bedroom window at Number 12 Grimmauld Place morosely. Eight months had passed since the Battle of Hogwarts and things still hadn't gone quite back to normal. Hogwarts was still in the process of being rebuilt after the destruction that had been wrought upon the ancient castle and Harry missed it more than anything in the world. Even with magic, it was still taking time to be rebuilt and the Magiveyors hadn't been able to get in and properly review the magics still holding the majority of the building up. There was still the massive amount of rubble to contend with, not to mention taking stock of the damage the castle had sustained.
It had been a hard eight months, Harry reflected. Not one moment had been spared. Nearly every week there had been somebody's funeral to attend or to arrange. Death Eater trials had been postponed until most of the funerals had taken place out of respect to the families of the deceased. The Ministry of Magic itself had undergone a complete staff overhaul – bearing in mind that nearly half had been Death Eaters or sympathisers. No one wanted even one member of Voldemort's Dark Army in charge.
The remaining members of the Order of the Phoenix had been working hard hunting down Death Eaters still at large. Professor McGonagall herself had taken nearly two months off from supervising the restoration and rebuilding of the school to help with the Post-War effort.
Nor indeed had Harry, Ron and Hermione had any rest before they were plunged mercilessly back into the limelight, following their defeat of the Darkest wizard of all time.
Harry was now employed part-time as a Field Auror, often sent with teams to capture remaining Death Eaters. Ron, like-wise, was also employed as a Strategist and Defence Consultant. Hermione, after locating her parents in Australia and lifting the Memory Charm she'd placed on them, had returned and been offered a position with the Aurors based on her knowledge and expertise in the field. However she'd turned it down in favour of the safer, less dramatic title of Head Researcher and Comprehensive Spellwork Consultant.
On top of these newly acquired jobs (part-time only Hermione had insisted), they still had Seventh year NEWTs to study for and sit through. "We missed a WHOLE YEAR!" Hermione had wailed when the two boys had argued against returning to school. Ron was in particular anxious to start work. Harry, on the other hand was inclined to feel more receptive to returning to school after the year they'd had, going on the run, hunting down Horcruxes, killing Voldemort. He was rather looking forward to going back to Hogwarts and having a normal year at school without someone trying to kill him.
At least one thing had changed, Harry smiled. He and Ginny were back together and taking it slow, although Harry'd been sneaking peeks at engagement rings in the catalogues Fleur'd secretly Owled over. He planned to ask Ginny to marry him after they graduated. The Weasley's would no doubt be overjoyed – Fred's death had hit them all hard, George in particular. He'd taken to staying at the shop most nights, not even returning when tempted with his mother's treacle pudding. To everyone's surprise it had been Percy who'd managed to drag him out of the misery and turn him back into the semblance of his old self.
Harry jumped as he heard the bedroom door wrenched open and bang against the wall loudly. He watched as Ron stomped angrily into the room, a copy of the Daily Prophet clenched in his hand. Hermione followed in her boyfriend's wake.
"Have you seen this?" Ron snarled throwing the paper down on the bed beside Harry. Harry looked at Hermione perturbed, one eyebrow raised in silent question. Hermione just nodded her head at the paper. Intrigued Harry answered "No. What's up?" and picked up the paper, scanning the front page. His eyebrows rose into his hairline. There was a large colour photograph of what was obviously a Muggle scene. It showed a room with a large blank square in the middle, covering what Harry supposed was a body, crime scene tape covering the doorway, Muggle police officers stood around the square, gesticulating wildly. Above the square was a large portrait of a skull with a snake protruding from its mouth.
The headline screamed "Dark Mark Over Murdered Muggleborn – Sixth Body Found!" Harry quickly skimmed over the rest of the article with growing alarm. It detailed how six Muggleborn Hogwarts students had been found in the last six days brutally murdered, pictures of the Dark Mark pinned above their heads. Harry's mouth dropped open and he looked back at the other two, shock on his face.
"How are we now finding this out? Surely McGonagall'd-?"
"McGonagall told Kingsley to keep it quiet," Hermione answered, taking a seat on the bed. "Didn't want to create a panic. Kingsley agreed to keep it out of the press."
"But how'd it get out?" Harry asked looking from Ron back to Hermione. Ron took a seat on Harry's other side. "Only problem was," he continued, propping his feet on the wooden bed frame, arms resting on his knees. "Kingsley's office was ransacked two days ago and the file containing the information was stolen. Less than 24 hours ago the story was sold to the Daily Prophet and voila! News story for the front page." Ron finished disgustedly. Harry shot a bemused look at Hermione."Voila?" he questioned. She waved her hand dismissively. "Fleur's been spending a lot of time at The Burrow with Victoire recently." Harry nodded in understanding.
"So okay. Kingsley's probably spitting mad about this right? How do you guys know about this?" At this both Ron and Hermione's faces looked guilty and Ron looked shiftily away. Harry sighed. "Alright. What did you do?"
Hermione answered. "We may have been listening at the door when McGonagall came to talk to Kingsley earlier." She fidgeted as she spoke.
"Extendable Ears?" Harry asked. She nodded. "Alright. So what are they doing about it? I mean some nutter's going about offing Muggleborns, somebody's be out searching right?"
Ron scowled. "Well that's just it. According to Kingsley, there was far too much Muggle police on every crime scene for the Aurors to properly investigate and as it falls somewhat into Muggle jurisdiction, they can't send too many Aurors out."
Hermione intervened. "Not to mention the fact that the Muggles have brought in the Behavioural Analysis Unit from America, which means even more Muggles tramping over the crime scene and destroying any potential magical evidence."
Harry snorted. "Can't imagine Kingsley's too happy about that. Behavioural Analysis Unit? Think I've heard of them. Don't they have some right famous genius doctor on their team?" Hermione nodded. "Dr Spencer Reid. I've read some of his work – very interesting stuff."
Ron looked confused and frustrated. "Can someone please explain what the bloody hell the Behavioural Analysis Unit actually is please?" he burst out, irritated.
"Oh right!" Hermione rushed to explain. Ron nodded after the explanation. "So they investigate nutters of the serial kind and study them?" Ron shook his head. "Mental. Hang on – how do you know this?" Hermione looked down at her hands. "I may have duplicated Kingsley's file when he wasn't looking." She said primly. Both Harry and Ron let out barks of laughter. "Excellent!" Harry laughed, slapping Ron's hand in a high five. "So what are we going to do then?" he asked looking expectantly at the pair of them. If he knew Hermione and Ron as well as he did, then they'd want to do a bit of poking around, he suspected. Ron looked at him and then back at Hermione. "Poke around?" he said when he saw the determined set of his girlfriend's eyes. Harry stood and retrieved his wand from his bedside table. "Well, I guess we're going to poke around then?" he said, pulling Hermione to her feet.
A/N – Hope you guys liked the update. I was really nervous writing this chapter hoping to keep the characters as in the books and not too OOC. Any way please let me know what you all think! Read and Review please! Thanks and I'll try to update as soon as possible.

The US carrier Continental Airlines should face manslaughter charges over the Concorde crash in July 2000, a French public prosecutor has said.
A French engineer involved in development of the supersonic jet – which was taken out of service in October 2003 – should be similarly charged, according to an investigation.
A judicial inquiry after the crash concluded that a piece of metal that had fallen off a Continental airliner caused one of Concorde's tyres to burst on take-off, catapulting debris through the wing.
The plane, which had taken off from Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris, crashed into a hotel outside the French capital, killing all 113 people on board.
Onlookers watched in horror as the distinctive plane struggled to gain altitude, with flames pouring out behind it, seconds after it had left the runway. The pilot tried in vain to divert to a nearby airport.
A judge is expected to decide in the next few weeks whether bring charges, accepting the demand which was filed by the Pontoise prosecutor's office.
As early as August 2000, the French Air Accident Investigation Bureau (BEA) said it was focusing on a burst tyre which was believed to have triggered a chain of events resulting in the subsequent crash.
"The 25 July accident shows that the destruction of a tyre, an event that we cannot say will not reoccur, had catastrophic consequences in a short period of time, preventing the crew from rectifying the situation," the BEA said at the time.
Investigators also confirmed that a 40cm (16in) metal strip – believed to be from another plane - had been found on the runway at the airport. Continental Airlines, which declined to comment last night, said at the time that one of its DC-10 aircraft was missing a metal piece similar to that which was found.

We invite applications to join our research effort in the area of many- and few-particle physics of ultra-cold atomic gases.
Our research interests include:
The first student project involves development and numerical implementation of time dependent descriptions of pairing and molecule formation in ultra-cold Bose and Fermi gases exposed to rapidly time varying magnetic fields.
Such simulations aim to provide a microscopic understanding of the mechanism of atomic pairing in such systems and its widespread applications throughout many-particle physics, e.g. in the theory of superconductivity.
The second project refers to the theory of inter-particle collisions in ultra-cold gases involving three or four atoms.
This research aims to elucidate the structure of exotic molecular quantum states whose wave functions can reach macroscopic sizes.
Both projects will be performed in close collaboration with experimental groups.
Both studentships are available to start from February.
The closing date for applications is Friday, 19th January.
Applications should be made on the usual University application form - available from http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions
Completed forms with all supporting material should be sent to:
Atomic and Laser Physics,
Clarendon Laboratory,
Parks Road,
Please quote reference no: alp/002 and clearly state the project you wish.

Colin Myler said that the role-play which included the 68-year-old being caned until blood was drawn did not just have a Nazi element to it, but also a "potential criminal flavour".
Cross-examining, Mr Mosley's QC, James Price, said one would expect beatings at an S and M session.
Mr Myler replied: "You say it was S and M but blood was drawn. I know it was drawn because he had a plaster on his bottom. I think it was after he'd had 15 beatings of the cane."
Mr Price said the newspaper was accusing Mr Mosley of "instigating a crime upon himself".
"Are you serious?", he asked Mr Myler. The editor replied: "It is what Mr Mosley did. The News of the World did not take Mr Mosley kicking and screaming to that apartment, that flat in Chelsea.
"The News of the World did not engage five girls for five hours of what went on - which was brutal."
Mr Myler has told Mr Justice Eady, who is hearing the landmark breach of privacy action in London, that he believed the story was one of "legitimate public interest and one that I believe was legitimately published". It was "absolutely not true" that the paper fabricated the Nazi aspect of the story.
Mr Mosley, the 68-year-old son of the 1930s Fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley, says that his life was devastated by the expose in March of what the newspaper called a "sick Nazi orgy with five hookers", and is asking for an unprecedented award of punitive exemplary damages.
Mr Price has said that the "gross and indefensible intrusion" was made substantially worse by the entirely false suggestion that Mr Mosley, president of the FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) was playing a concentration camp commandant and a cowering death camp inmate.

Adam and Eve, The Soap Opera: Scene 1
Scene 1: Adam Wakes Up and Surprise, Surprise!
"Oh, man," I whisper to that other person who's been living in my mind, though I'm really not sure where I learned the words. "Now that was something I'm going to like, a long night's sleep. But for some reason, my ribs are killing me."
I figured it was time I got to work taking care of this place. I wish they had left me a manual as to what to do. And I don't mind saying those lions and tigers make me kinda nervous. Sometimes I don't like the way they stare at me. But all in all, it's not a bad gig, this garden tending business.
"Man, my ribs! Well, the squirrels are up and the birds are flying. But something over there, behind that bush." I walk over to take a look and "Wow!"
"Hey, Adam, my name's Eve and I am about to be the best thing that ever happened to you."
That should have tipped me off right from the beginning.
And this is my story and its not a pretty one.

Combination of a goatee and chinstrap style beard. Short, thin strip of facial hair just below the chin. Easily the worst facial hair style choice of all time.

Put this in the guides section!
All here what has been said is nice and good, but nobody has mentioned where are these BGs and/or how to reach them. As one of PVE player, I don't have a clue about PVP things, so I'll be very happy if someone will be so kind to explain that part. Thank you in advance...
Just a quick mention for those who haven't played the mines very often. If you want to win, control the cart that goes to the lava pit. It has the shortest distance and the quickest travel time. I don't know how many times this has been lost by players who want to take all the other carts, only to lose because the other team stayed on the lava cart just gained the points faster.I don't know the numbers, but having ran 3 toons through the legendary cloak line, and having 4 more going through it, I have seen this happen a bunch. If you will notice, any good team will take this cart from the beginning and keep it the entire round only venturing out if they are unopposed.
In my honest opinion, this is by far, BY FAR, the WORST aspect of the legendary cloak line... I'd rather eat nails, while being dragged through hot coals, all with diapers full of ^&*!, encompassed in hair, burn beside me. If people want to PVP and get a legendary, make a PVP specific legendary. I understand everyone else's thoughts, but realistically, on my server this could take weeks (longer than the Valor grind), and you cannot do them both at the same time. It wouldn't matter if you had the entire Marvel Avengers on your side with Chuck Norris healing would you win when 1-3 people AFK almost every single time, its impossible. And how does Blizzard correct it, "Flag as away," please.... I gave up on two other characters, that's how bad this quest is. The least they could do is make it a world PVP event (more than one).

Best Of :: Food & Drink
If you know almost nothing about wine, can't speak French and couldn't care less about growing region, age, legs, microclimatology or varietals but still don't want to make a fool out of yourself by accidentally ordering the French equivalent of a bottle of Mad Dog to go with your cassoulet, Z Cuisine has the solution. On the wall near the bar is a chalkboard that lists the wine of the day. It's never terribly expensive, usually interesting in some way you probably won't understand, and can be ordered simply by pointing -- which you should do with a certain attitude of world-weary lan. Z Cuisine's vin de la maison offers an easy, eminently drinkable choice that saves you from having to peruse the list and pretend you know what you're looking at.
You might recognize the name "Tacos D.F." It was painted on the side of a great lonchera that once prowled the streets of Denver. Now all the pleaures of that taco truck can be found in the same spot night after night, in a little joint in the middle of a strip mall along Parker Road. The space is warm and comfortable, with one wall covered floor to ceiling with black-marker graffiti scrawled by legions of satisfied customers. Service is exceptionally quick, incredibly friendly and eager to please. There are specials written out longhand on construction paper -- but anything from the regular offerings of pork and asada tacos, tacos cabeza, sopes de bistec and a short list of tortas is bound to be good. It helps to speak a little Spanish here, but you can usually get by with some phonetics, a little mime and a lot of pointing at the menu hung above the window where orders are taken, paid for and delivered.
Tonti's is an enigma. It's a tiny strip-mall joint, almost always empty except for a couple of employees hanging disconsolately around the counter. And while about half the time what we get off the short, predictable menu (pizzas, calzones, stromboli, meatball sandwiches) is completely forgettable, the other half it's
fantastic beyond any rational explanation. At its best, Tonti's makes the kind of stromboli you just can't stop eating, the kind of New York-style pizzas that wake you up in the middle of the night -- calling you from inside the refrigerator, demanding that you eat a leftover slice cold, standing there in your socks and boxers. So, yes, sometimes Tonti's makes the best strip-mall Italian food in the city and sometimes it doesn't. Just ask yourself one question before you go in: Do you feel lucky?
If you wanted to give people a true taste of Denver, where would you send them? For us, Elway's -- Big John's eponymous temple of meat -- comes out on top every time. For the scene, the service, the staff and the sly humor implicit in the menu's design, Elway's is that single restaurant that defines what it is to eat in Denver today. There's money here, but there are also plenty of people in blue jeans. Although the restaurant is in Cherry Creek, it could be picked up whole and successfully transplanted to almost any other neighborhood in the city (as proven by the recently announced expansion into the new downtown Ritz-Carlton). And while chef Tyler Wiard and everyone in Elway's kitchen certainly know how to handle a piece of meat, the little flourishes and big hospitality are what set this place apart. Oh, yes, and then there's that connection to a certain quarterback...
Legislators and local union leaders, cowboys and cooks. You never know who'll end up at Brewery Bar II on any given day, because everyone who knows and loves Denver for its less cosmopolitan charms passes through here eventually, looking for cold beer, hot chile, gloriously sloppy Meximerican grub of no discernible geographical provenance and that certain dim-lit and rough-edged temper that's the solid base from which all of Denver's uptown glitz and glamour have grown. Though Brew II has recently spawned a passel of polished suburban offspring, they're bastards born of opportunism and sprawl psychology. You want the real thing? Head down to the blue-collar part of town, grab a seat at the bar and order a Tiny.
Cafe Star isn't a French restaurant -- though some of the preparations (like the duck confit) are certainly Continental in origin -- and given the worldliness of its cuisine, it isn't a completely American restaurant. It isn't a fine-dining restaurant -- it's too fun for that -- but neither is it just a neighborhood restaurant, because there are nights when even the neighbors can't get a seat. No, on this food frontier, Cafe Star is blazing its own trail, building on the failures of California cuisine, the innovations of immigrant cooks and the decades of dining dominance enjoyed by the big cities on the coasts. This is a New West restaurant through and through, and a great star on the local scene.

Having lost each of the last three games, the club reacted to apparent ill-health by surrounding themselves with supportive friends and family, creating an ideal ambience for recuperation. The supporters - rarely in decades gone by offered the chance to be anything more than "fair weather" - sang long before they were winning. The players knew they were still loved and reacted accordingly.
Even so, like any groggy patient, Liverpool were slow risers. Benito Carbone, in twinkle-toes mode, and Danny Sonner, with a rising volley, might have given them nightmares before they were brought to full cold- light-of-day consciousness by Andy Hinchcliffe's zippy free-kick.
Once awake though, Liverpool produced 20 minutes of football held up by Houllier as an example of how he wants his team to play. During that spell, the game was won.
With a suddenness that seemed to take their opponents aback, Liverpool came upliftingly to life. Their midfield metamorphosis was led by Jamie Redknapp - a man who has risen above much of the recent criticism. His passing, combined with Paul Ince's constructively harnessed desire, changed the mood and the goals followed.
First, Robbie Fowler, controlling Stig Inge Bjornebye's left wing corner, teed-up Patrik Berger. Then, just beyond the half-hour Bjornebye scampered on to Jamie Carragher's pass and cut inside before locating Michael Owen in prime predatory position to dispatch his 13th goal of the season.
Owen's lifting of the pace was the constant catalyst for the Kop's lifting of the noise. He - the nippy hurrier on to so many hopeful midfield passes - has represented hope through recent grim times. So, when he was withdrawn late in the second half, the crowd's valedictory applause was heartfelt.
In one week, Owen has missed a penalty, collected the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year award and turned 19. His fans will be relieved to hear that age has not withered him.
Liverpool's visible improvement brought a measured response from Houllier, who had bemoaned his team's unlucky empty-handedness at Wimbledon last week. "We're not perfect - we know that," he said. "We've got to improve in several areas. But these points will give us confidence."
Suddenly, Houllier's problems seem relatively small alongside those of Wednesday's Danny Wilson. Last season Anfield offered his Barnsley team probably the most joyous away day of their brief but beautiful Premiership life. This time, Wilson, in defeat, was met by questions about his errant Italian Paolo Di Canio, still exiled in Rome.
Had he heard any more from Paolo? "More?" replied Wilson, "I haven't heard anything from him."
Di Canio's return from long- term suspension was scheduled, not inappropriately, for Boxing Day. But he has not trained since going home to Italy and the likelihood is that his grand re-entry will be considerably delayed yet.

Kidney Cancer Treatment
At Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, our multidisciplinary medical team works closely to accurately diagnose your kidney cancer and help you understand your options so that you can make an informed decision about your treatment.
As a regional and national leader in kidney cancer care, Fox Chase has a wealth of experience treating all types of kidney cancer.
Our skilled genitourinary oncology team meets regularly to review patient cases and map out a personalized treatment plan. We strive to treat your cancer in the least invasive way possible using innovative surgical techniques and combination therapies that give you the best chance of a successful outcome.
Our doctors are also actively involved in developing new therapies for treating kidney cancer. Through clinical trials, we are able to offer our patients access to promising treatments and experimental therapies that may not be available elsewhere. Ask your Fox Chase doctor if a clinical trial is right for you.
Your Treatment Options
Treatment for kidney cancer depends on the stage, type and grade of your tumor; whether it has spread to other organs; and your age, health history and personal goals. Your personalized treatment plan will be created after consultations with multiple physicians within our multidisciplinary team. Your kidney cancer care plan may include a combination of one or more of the following treatment options:
Traditional kidney cancer treatment requires open surgery to remove the entire kidney, nearby adrenal glands, and all surrounding tissue.
Other options Fox Chase doctors often use include:
- Partial nephrectomy (also called nephron-sparing surgery)
- Minimally-invasive surgery (laparoscopy and robotics)
- Tissue ablation treatments (renal cryotherapy or radioablation)
Fox Chase doctors are leaders in minimally-invasive surgical techniques. At Fox Chase, robotic and laparoscopic surgery is performed both through the traditional transperitoneal (through the front) approach and through the more technically challenging retroperitoneal (through the side) robotic technique.
Our doctors are also the region's leaders in kidney preservation surgery and have performed the most partial nephrectomies in the Delaware Valley. In 2009, the Fox Chase kidney cancer team developed a standardized system to determine whether surgeons can safely perform a partial nephrectomy, which is now used by kidney surgeons around the world.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is rarely used as a primary treatment for kidney cancer, but external beam radiation treatment can be used to relieve pain or other symptoms in patients with advanced kidney cancer.
Systemic Therapy
The medical oncologists at Fox Chase Cancer Center are regional and national leaders in the treatment of kidney cancer. As part of the multidisciplinary team, your medical oncologist will help to determine your personalized treatment plan, which may include systemic therapies such as targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy, either as standard of care or as part of a clinical trial.
Systemic therapy may be given before or after surgery and may also be recommended to patients who are diagnosed after the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic cancer).
Clinical Trials
Fox Chase Cancer Center actively participates in a number of clinical trials for patients with kidney cancer. In addition to receiving excellent care, our patients also benefit from the groundbreaking research that we do to expand our understanding of new kidney cancer therapies and treatments. We encourage eligible patients to participate in clinical trials that are available and appropriate for their stage and type of kidney cancer.

"The travel," Felton said. "Guys are always tired. We're getting on and off planes going to different states all the time. It wears on your body."
"Four games in five days, seven games in 10 days," May added. "It's tough. It's an adjustment for us. In college we played once or twice a week. It's nothing like the NBA."
"For me, the hardest thing has been coming back from knee surgery," May said. "I don't have the lift I had last year. I don't post nearly as much and I'm just adjusting to my role on the team. It's going to come back if I continue to work on my body." Felton also said that the level of play, naturally, is higher.
"Everyone is so good," he said. "So quick, so strong. You just have to work hard to stay on top of your game."
Felton and May have both been content with their play thus far. Felton is averaging 7.1 points and 4.0 assists in 16 games this far while May is putting up 9.2 points and 5.3 boards in 18.8 minutes of action.
In Felton's lone start of the season, a convincing win against Indiana, he scored 18 points and had 10 assists in 35 minutes.
"That's what stands out for me so far in my NBA career," Felton said.
May and Felton each agreed that the adjustment to NBA life has been easier because they have one another – and also from the fact that they aren't all that far away from where they played college ball.
"Going through the tough times with Ray has made it easier," May said. "We're trying to turn the franchise around. To be 4-9 and still have 15,000 fans at a game on a Wednesday night is impressive."
The duo made it out to North Carolina's rout against Cleveland State.
"They're going to go through their ups and downs," May said of this year's Tar Heels. "They've got talent and in the next couple of years, they're going to be tough – especially with the class that have coming in next year. Tyler Hansbrough is playing well right now, but they are starting three freshmen. It's easy to play when you are at home with the fans behind you, but when they have to go to Maryland or to Cameron and put the ball in a freshman's hands with the game on the line, that'll be tough. But they should be fine."
"The first game they played, they had to get their jitters out," Felton said. "But they played well [since then]. Everyone played well. They were really clicking. They just have to execute. Being so young, they don't really understand the offense yet."
While many people have already discounted the Tar Heels chances of making the NCAA Tournament this season, May doesn't see it that way.
"With our schedule and coach's ability to put them in situations where they can succeed, they'll be in a lot of games," May said. "With David Noel and his leadership, they'll be able to close out a lot of games."
May chats with assistant coach Steve Robinson at the Cleveland State game ...
... while Felton offers some words of encouragement to Quentin Thomas.

Survey shows UK food companies pessimistic after Brexit vote
Posted: 29 July 2016 | | No comments yet
UK food companies are more pessimistic than their European neighbours in the wake of the country's decision to exit the European Union…
Regarding the medium-term prospects for the global food industry UK food companies are more pessimistic than their European neighbours in the wake of the country's decision to exit the European Union.
The survey, carried out by just-food, as well as revealing the negative outlook of UK food companies, also revealed that European food companies expect short, sharp Brexit shock, and that almost half of UK companies think it will take at least five years for consequences to be understood.
When asked to rate the outlook for the global food sector over the next three to five years, on average UK executives scored the industry a 5.6 out of 10, below the confidence levels expressed by food companies from European countries excluding the UK, who scored it 6.1 out of 10, and the rest of the world, who rated their confidence at 6.2.
Some 31.9% of UK executives said their confidence in the medium- to long-term prospects in the global food industry had been 'significantly reduced' in the past three months. However, more of their counterparts across the English Channel appear to now have a gloomier outlook over the next three to five years, with half of food executives reporting a fall in confidence.
Rating the prospects for the industry over the coming three to 12 months, both European and UK executives included in the survey ranked their confidence 5.7 out of 10. Executives from outside Europe were more upbeat and their ranking remained consistent at 6.2.
Again, Europeans were more prone to have lowered their expectations for the global sector following the Brexit referendum. In total, 52.7% of European executives have cut their outlook for the next three to 12 months, compared to 45.2% of UK food companies. Those outside both the UK and Europe were again the least pessimistic, with 42.8% lowering their short-term expectations for the global sector in the past three months.
The majority of European food executives, 71%, believe the "implications for the global food industry" will be fully understood within two years. UK food makers, on the other hand, tend to believe it will take longer for the consequences to become clear. Only 55% believe the implications will be revealed within the next two years, while over 45% believe the consequences will continue to become evident in five years or more.
With 70% of overseas trade in UK food and drink conducted with the EU, the FDF is lobbying for tariff-free access to EU markets to be retained.
Additionally, there are worries that the skills shortage already faced by the industry could be deepened in the wake of Brexit. EU nationals make up 27% of the UK food and drink sector workforce and the FDF wants future UK migration policy to enable the industry to access the estimated 130,000 new skilled workers it will need by 2024.

Around the world, luxury timepiece connoisseurs and the less horologically educated alike are well aware of Swiss watch manufacturer Rolex's horological pedigree. Since the early twentieth century, the name Rolex has been synonymous with expert timepiece engineering. Many Rolex watches exhibit a tremendously classic aesthetic, but there are perhaps none as timeless as those in the company's Milgauss collection.
Designed by Rolex in the 1950s specifically to meet the demands of the scientific community, timepieces in the Milgauss collection are capable of withstanding magnetic forces of up to 1,000 gauss, a truly rare quality in a timepiece. All timepieces in the Milgauss series feature 40-millimeter cases of polished 904L stainless steel machined in Rolex's famous oyster design. Dials are available in either black or white and feature Rolex's iconic thick, rectangular indices in place of numerals. The Rolex icon and logo sit at 12 o'clock in place of an index. Long, luminous hours, minutes and seconds hands make for quick, accurate time readings, even in low-light conditions. All versions of the Milgauss feature a scratch-resistant, anti-glare sapphire crystal, but the crystal on one version sports a green tint. All versions of the watch are water resistant to 300 feet. A sturdy, hassle-free stainless steel bracelet featuring both brushed and polished versions of the metal completes the look.
Powering the Milgauss is Rolex's famous, precision-engineered and manufactured COSC-certified automatic movement, guaranteed to remain accurate over generations of non-stop use. A Parachron hairspring is central to the function of this fine timepiece, bestowing upon it much of the magnetic protection for which the watch is so sought after. A screw-down stainless steel crown provides a trouble-free means of adjusting the time.

DCeptette: It's not hip-hop, it's electro version
- We were MOST unhappy with the National Zoo today, after they announced that the public would get to choose the name of the panda but that Butterstick would not be among the choices. That darling piece of Sino-American fauna is, was, and ever shall be Butterstick--not Chinese Wind or Kung Pao Dragon or whatever the fuck the Zoo thinks. Well...just when all seems lost, Tom over at Unrequited Narcissism came up with a way to game the system. Now...carry the news to the people, take to the streets, and someone--please page Holly Martins! (Unrequited Narcissism)
- Gross. Seriously. (Craigslist)
- I agree, Rock Creek Rambler--Going Out Googahs versus Daily Candy DC is the Maximus v. Commodus of the terminally insipid.
- So they're auctioning off the deed for the White House on eBay. Funny, but let's take a glance askance at this story: Commander Cuckoo Bananas is holed up at the Pussy Ranch in Crawford, Texas. Way back when he first decamped from the immense pressure of the job he's spent the past half-decade avoiding, CCB's peeps thought it would be the height of cleverness to take the Presidential Seal and affix it to the Pussy Ranch, naming it "The Western White House." I recall someone wondering out loud at the time: "Doesn't this mean that their ranch is now the property of the Federal Government and that future Chief Executives will be entitled to use it themselves?" Interesting. Anyone out there in the blogosphere know if this is true or not? (DCist)
- If you "preminisced there would be no return of the salad days" over at BenLadner.com, well, guess again. Suckaz been suspended, pending an investigation into expense account improprieties. It's weird that AU only now has got around to sussing this out--their are awash in tuition monies, yet their joint looks downright tatty when compared to G-Dub (even accounting for GWU's barren field off Washington Circle). My favorite part of the coverage was in the Post: "[Ladner's] biography on the university Web site said his 'academic diplomacy' initiatives helped nurture understanding and trust between nations 'when political strategies have stalled or failed' and mentioned North Korea, Cuba, Iraq and Iran, among other countries." Crimony. He's the Gigli of understanding-nurturers. (Post)

If she was your child
Last week Esther Rantzen wrote an 'open letter' to Kate and Gerry McCann which made me ashamed for her.
The idea that any of us – including Esther – have the right to tell the McCanns how they should feel is just ridiculous. The tone and content of her letter wasn't just insensitive and patronising. It was downright distasteful.
None of us can imagine how the McCanns feel. What we do know is that they will continue looking for their daughter and appealing for information and help for as long as it takes.
And if she was my child, if she was your child, we'd do the same.
So I hope you'll join me in taking a few minutes for Madeleine, to remind people why the search and appeal for information continues.
It's the least we can do.

I think you are right, I don't think anyone has the right to tell anyone how to feel in any circumstance.
I cant believe she has the cheek to tell Kate that its time to find peace , If I was in Kate's position I could never find peace or even rest until my child was found. She is living every Mother's worst nightmare and we should be giving her support even if its 3 years on. Its seem to me that to become a writer for the Daily Mail, you have to be a heartless cow. Now a days every article in the Daily Mail that are aimed towards Mothers/Families are nasty or trying to find a fault with us from breastfeeding to a Mother forever heartbroken over her missing child.
I flat out refuse to read anything written in The Daily Hate. How dare anyone tell a parent who has lost a child how they should feel. Esther Rantzen should be thoroughly ashamed of herself. She's a parent herself and I hope to God she never has to face what the McCanns have. The next time she puts pen to paper it should be to write an apology.
Just awful really. I cannot ever imagine giving up hope or searching for a lost child. I do agree that it came across as patronising. I didn't realise Esther wrote for the Daily Mail as I would never buy a copy, things like this remind me why!
I hadn't seen the open letter, I'm staggered by it. My God it's far, far too personal to do that. Don't quite know what else to say other than there by the grace of God goes almost every other mother. We've all lost sight of our children for a moment in a shop, park, on a beach. We only have to remember Denise Bulger letting go of her sons hand to pay for some meat. It's so very sad. My heart goes out to them.
Having read about three quarters of the "open letter" written by Esther, I couldn't carry on reading it because I found it appalling and extremely insensitive. Three years is not a long time. Those poor people have been through hell, and are still going through it. I couldn't bear thinking about losing Amy. The feelings Kate and Gerry must be experiencing will be beyond ours and Esther's comprehension. No one has any right to even suggest how the McCanns should feel. Thanks for highlighting this very important subject which dominated our news, and should still continue to do so. If not for Maddie, then for her parents. CJ xx
I'm not even going to read the letter. I know it would be too upsetting. Everything that comes from that paper is hateful. Just think back to the uproar they caused when Stephen Gateley died. That the McCanns have been able to carry on at all is a testimony to their strength & courage. They are still married and trying to do the best for the two kids still with them. What's really galling is that before they were being accused of not being loving parents (because they left her in hotel room) and now they are being villified for loving her too much. You can't win as a parent. Any parent knows they will never stop wanting to know what's happened to their child. To suggest otherwise is just plain madness.
Just had a quick look on their website. Teaming up with this load of drivel, there's 'Mariah Carey is fat' and 'Ralf Little's going out with someone who's still married'. Give me strength…
Three year? Three YEARS? A friend of mine died in a car accident aged 23 5 years ago and her dad still cries every time I speak to him. This article absolutely infuriated me. We've all lived this nightmare with her? No we freakin' haven't! Yes, I think of her and Maddie from time to time, and my heart breaks for them every time I see them or her depicted somewhere, but we haven't lived this with them. My cat went missing when I was a kid and the fear and uncertainty stuck with me for months. Now I have a child and … I can't even … I can't even say the thoughts out loud. I agree. The next thing this woman writes should be an apology!
I couldnt finish reading it. I think about Madeleine lots it stuck with me so much as my daughter is the same age and my nieces birthday is 3rd May. Noone has the right to judge or tell them how they should feel. I am amazed at how they manage to get out of bed every day and have a huge amount of respect for them. Ms Rantzen should be utterly ashamed.
Absolutely agree with you Liz. I read this on the Mail website and felt so angry for the McCanns. How dare anyone tell them to 'move on'.
Do you know I have read the first paragraph and cannot continue as I will get so upset about it. What you say is completely right. Nobody has any right to tell these poor people how to feel and what to do…all we can do is pray that answers and that beautiful little girl will be found
I think there's only one person who can decide when – if ever – the time is right for her to 'move on' and that is Kate McCann. I'm surprised at this from Esther Rantzen actually. She always comes across as being so reasonable and compassionate. How dare she intrude on these parents grief in such a public manner. At what point did she decide that that might be an o.k. thing to do?
I haven't read the letter and I avoid the Daily Mail but I agree that if she is telling them how they should feel, then that is completely wrong. I'm really pleased you have reminded us all about Madeleine. We should never give up hope. I feel for the McCanns. It is too awful to think about really, but we should.
I can't imagine ever forgetting Madeleine.
This is just unbelieveable, I did read the letter on the web, and agree with all the comments left so far and even though (trying to sit on the fence and see ER's point of view) I understand that what she is trying to say is that the McCanns need to find peace – HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY do this when their young child is out there somewhere and they don't know how or where she is. It is an intolarable situation for any parent to be in, I personally admire their strength, and cannot imagine how they get through each day. My heart, as always, goes out to them and if ER is trying to 'help' them then would it not be better for her to use her massive PR machine to help keep Maddie's face, and those other missing children in the public eye – someone somewhere must have seen something somewhere! Whatever anyone thinks or says, the McCanns will never get any peace until they know what happened to their precious daughter and their lives, and that of their other children, simply cannot return to 'normal'.
I couldn't even read it all. The McCanns get out of bed in the morning, they breathe in and out all day, they do what's in front of them in an untenable situation.

Joyriding 11-Year-Old Crashes Mom's Car
An 11-year-old Detroit boy takes his mother's car on a joyride that could have cost him his life.
FOX News Radio's Jennifer Keiper reports:
Audio clip:
An 11-year-old boy finds the keys to his mother's SUV and decides to put them to use, speeding on city streets.
A short time later the child wraps that car around a telephone pole. Courtney Morrison came to his rescue.
(Morrison) "He said, 'I've been a bad boy, I stole my mother's car.' He said, 'I'm gonna be in so much trouble.' I said, 'Don't you worry, your mother's gonna be glad that you're alive.'"
It took 40 minutes to get the 11-year-old out of the car and he's expected to recover from his injuries.

Airton Dare, who was making his second start for me this year, was injured in practice on Thursday evening when the right front suspension failed on the car as he was going through Turn 4 at over 200 mph. He shot into the wall which sheared off the right sidepod, broke fuel lines and sent the car up in flames. Then he hit the wall again and I think that's when his right side took a beating. He broke his upper arm, hand, thigh and foot. Luckily, he didn't lose consciousness, although that also means he felt all of the pain of his injuries.
He underwent surgery that night and doctors put rods in his arm and thigh. Then he went to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis on Sunday for further work on his hand and foot. The doctors say he'll be out for about three months. Airton's got a long road ahead, but being just 25, he's got youth working for him. He'll probably surprise the doctors by how fast he recovers.
Under the lights
The Bombardier 500K was the first night race of the season for the Indy Racing League so it was A.J. IV's first ever night race in an Indy car.
Rain cut short the practice time, but even so he had his best start—14th in the Conseco G-Force/Toyota. If I hadn't messed up on choosing his gear ratios, I think he would have had an even better result. He ran well in the final practice so we were optimistic about the race.
I had decided to run Jaques Lazier in Airton's backup car but I decided too late to get him ready for qualifying, so he started at the back of the field. In his first practice on Friday he had the car in the top-10, so I figured he wouldn't stay in the back of the pack very long.
Early exit for A.J. IV
In the race, A.J. IV's car had a bad push right from the start. That means his Conseco car wouldn't stay in the groove, it drifted towards the wall in the turns. One of the problems was that our final Indy car practice ran before the NASCAR Craftsman Truck race. Rubber from the truck tires stuck to the track's surface and changed the track's grip. Whatever the reason, A.J. IV didn't have any grip from the start.
The bad part was he didn't tell me just how bad the car was handling. If he had, I would have pitted him early like Indy 500 winner Gil de Ferran did. Instead, A.J. IV did everything he could from inside the cockpit by adjusting the bars and trying different lines on the track.
He was trying to hang on until the first round of pit stops or first caution period but he didn't make it that far. In fact, he was the reason for the first caution because he brushed the wall coming off Turn 2 on lap 41. It wasn't a real hard hit but it was hard enough to bend the right rear suspension. He was done for the night. He finished 21st.
We had a good talk afterwards about his not trying to be a hero and if the car wasn't drivable, he needed to tell me. After all, my other drivers were quick to complain if the car wasn't just right for them.
Plenty of power, not enough pressure
Lazier, meanwhile was doing a good job in my other car. He came from last up to 11th. We had some problems on one of the pit stops so he had to pass one pack of cars all over again. It made for some exciting racing. He was running with Bryan Herta and Scott Dixon and the three of them were gaining on the lead pack.
While A.J. IV had handling problems, Jaques' car developed low fuel pressure problems, which caused the car to lose power. It got bad enough to the point I told him to park it after 163 laps. I didn't want the engine to blow and put him or someone else in the wall. He finished 19th. I know he enjoyed the race up until that point because it was his first time in a Toyota-powered car and he loved the horsepower.
I was happy to see Al Unser Jr. win the race, especially one that was so tight at the checkered flag. Texas is living up to its reputation of close finishes and Al Jr. did a great job.
This week the IRL goes to Pikes Peak International Raceway just outside of Colorado Springs where A.J. IV will also be racing for the first time. We didn't get a chance to test the Conseco car at that track so it will be another learning experience for him and for me.

Your Views
Walker's way
The manner in which New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has handled the aftermath of superstorm Sandy shows maturity, class and gratitude. Christie, a Republican, had the audacity to break the gold rule of Rupert Murdoch and other big-time Republicans: "If you don't have something negative to say about the president, don't say anything at all."
As a result, Christie's political aspirations may now be in jeopardy.
Gov. Scott Walker has taken the opposite path. Walker, also a Republican, has put his own self-interest first and declined to participate in setting up a health care exchange in Wisconsin. Walker has withered in the face of the rancor from the likes of Murdoch and others.
Here's hoping Walker makes decisions in the future with the best interest of Wisconsin first - the people who elected him - rather than the people who contribute most to further his career.
Christian Caflisch
A thin disguise
It is ironic that Gov. Scott Walker and Republicans in both the state Senate and Assembly want to eliminate same-day voter registration and impose voter ID requirements. Although the stated purpose of these changes is to cut down on the "problem" of voter fraud, I see it as a poorly disguised attempt to suppress voters "rights" since people who tend to register and vote on the same day overwhelmingly tend to come from underrepresented populations. (Oh, and these people tend to vote Democratic.)
The difficulty with this reasoning is that there is no significant problem with voter fraud in the country, according to a recent article in U.S. News and World Report. Writer Kira Zalan reports that the number of times people have been prosecuted successfully for voter fraud is "ridiculously low." What renders Walker's argument specious is his reason to eliminate same-day voter registration: It would make election volunteers' work easier.
Republicans on the national level, having been soundly beaten in the past election, are stating that they need to reach out to minority populations. You don't do that by suppressing voters' rights.
Paul Jones
East Troy
Walker is right
I was an election observer during the 2004 Bush-Kerry presidential election. I can attest to the accuracy of Gov. Scott Walker's remarks about poll worker volunteers "who work 13-hour days and who are in most cases retirees."
They had long lines all day that extended out in the hallways after the polls closed at 8 p.m. It was after 10 p.m. before the count was in. The workers had the task of processing a surprisingly large number of same-day registrants and were unhappy about the large amount of extra work this entailed.
Under the present Wisconsin law, same-day registrants must show proof of their present address. Those who say they do not have a driver's license may produce such items as a recent water bill receipt or, as a last resort, they may have a neighbor vouch for them.
Most states don't use same-day registration, and the few audits that have been made of the process in those states show a large number of errors.
If the Editorial Board wants to produce a believable argument in favor of same-day registration, it should be willing to finance a bipartisan audit to prove the integrity of the process.
Further, while I have yet to see any poll of whether voters are for or against same-day voter registration, I have yet to hear of or see one where they are not overwhelmingly in favor of voter ID.
Yet while progressives always say they are in favor of the "will of the people," I am a bit surprised that the Editorial Board is adamantly against voter ID and against abolishing same-day registration before objectively looking at the process in Wisconsin and other states.
Robert M. Parrish
Pay for performance
As I read through the article "Waukesha school district considering rewarding teachers for performance," I just kept thinking how I could not agree more.
Teachers should get paid based on how they perform in the classroom with the students - not how long they have been teaching.
If one person is working harder than another and receiving better results, why should they receive a smaller paycheck than someone who is not a good teacher but has just been teaching longer? Good teachers need to be rewarded for the hard work they put in to better the futures of their students.
I think anyone would agree that if a person is not appreciated for the dedication they put into their occupation, the drive to continue that effort may dwindle over time.
By paying based on performance, teachers will be encouraged to do their best to provide a great education for students. Many teachers will have incentive to work hard, which will make conditions inside the classroom better.
Excellent results should be appreciated.

Lincoln's proclamation
A Thanksgiving thank you to the Editorial Board. I was so pleased to see Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation from 1863 again this year. I saved it from last year's Editorial Page, and now I have another copy.
Many Americans seem to have forgotten (or never learned) some of these parts of American history. Thank you for bringing it to the forefront again, that Lincoln decreed that the nation should - "set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."
