By Stephen Brenkley in Galle
The Third Test between England and Sri Lanka which begins in Galle on Tuesday is not just any cricket match. It matters less than usual who wins or loses, though both sides will be trying their socks off, one to level the series, the other to win it.
All that counts is that it takes place. This is the first match on the ground since the tsunami almost three years ago that wreaked havoc in this country and cost 40,000 lives. Nobody is sure of the precise number.
At times like this, when sport, and what passes for normal life, resume after tragedy or disaster, it is customary to talk of the triumph of the human spirit. But that is exactly what is afoot here.
The Sri Lankans got on with their lives pretty soon after the devastation, and after a word which had meant virtually nothing to anybody had become chillingly commonplace. They quickly rebuilt roads, houses and shops. Outside aid at first poured in and then trickled in. Many wonderful projects were funded. MCC, for instance, yesterday opened a centre of excellence, including a medical surgery, classroom and women's centre, and a new cricket ground.
This Test match, the 1,853rd of all, represents a final step on the way to recovery and renewal. It will show that there is a future, that there always must be. Mahela Jayawardene, Sri Lanka's admirable captain, put it appositely the other day.
"It is going to be an emotional thing for a lot of guys who come from down south and who have lost relatives," he said. "But I think we have moved forward as a nation, as a team, so we just need to concentrate on the cricket in hand. It's going to be more of a celebration. Yes, we will remember the people and the Galle Stadium, but it's a new stadium, so that means we're going to move forward and make sure we enjoy the outing. It's going to be a fresh new start for us in that province."
It is, then, a pity that the new stadium, built on the same site in the shadow of the old Dutch fort, is far from complete. In truth, it would probably not be fit to stage an international match in another month.
There are few seats, there are no grassy areas, toilets are hard to find, the main pavilion is just about fit for inhabitation but none of the frills which would make it a signature building have been put in place. In short, it is a building site. And it has rained very hard indeed for two days. This has delayed further work that was always going to belast-minute. The ground is extremely wet. No longer under six inches of water, it was still a quagmire yesterday.
Yet none of these things should prevent the match taking place, unless the rain, unwanted and unseasonal, intervenes. Reportsthat the Test may be moved to Colombo are uninformed and plain discourteous.
Goodwill is required from all involved: players, officials, spectators, media. It would be easy to criticise the Sri Lankan administration for failing in their promise to finish the ground. Very easy, because the least that was deserved here, as a memorial to those who died so close by and to show the way forward, was a brand spanking new stadium. But recriminations are pointless.
Paul Collingwood, England's vice-captain, who made his Test debut here four years ago, said yesterday: "On the bus here the mood changed the further we came down. It was quite a sombre atmosphere. The events here three years ago put everything in perspective.
"Credit has to be given for what they've done to the ground and we're just going to have to get on with it. You see how Sri Lankan people have reacted to such a disaster, they're trying to rebuild their lives and we're trying to put smiles back on their faces."
The weather is a genuine threat. Sri Lanka have recalled batsman Tillekeratne Dilshan and introduced the uncapped Chanaka Welegedara. England may have Matthew Hoggard (pictured left) fit to replace (probably) Stuart Broad and must be worried about Monty Panesar's form. It will be tough to win, but no matter. Play up and play this game.

Parents are throwing their kids' toys out of the pram after they were banned from watching their little ones playing after-school games. According to the Coventry Sports Foundation, who issued the ban at 43 primary schools, the move is designed to relieve the pressure on the children. But such nannying is mere child's play compared to the draconian decision taken by Barlby Primary School in Selby, North Yorkshire, which has had to ban playtime after three neighbours repeatedly complained to environmental health officers about the noise. Afternoon break has been cancelled altogether and other breaks have to be staggered to reduce the number of pupils in the playground at any one time. After earlier complaints, the school had already erected a soundproof fence and banned all ball games. And possum-throwing contests at Colyton School in New Zealand have been called "immoral" by the local RSPCA, even though the animals are dead. Seems like kids can't have any fun these days.
Number of rejection letters Paddy Rielly has received from League football clubs after he applied to be their manager – a new high, or low, according to the Guinness Book of Records. The 44-year-old from Corby in Northants works for Weetabix, so some of his letters were probably shredded.
Inflated opinion of a work of art
More angry neighbours, and the Derby County goalkeeper Stephen Bywater has landed himself in hot water for an art installation that he constructed in his garden in Sutton-on-the-Hill which featured a blow-up doll with rubber genitals strapped to a horsebox and a portable toilet covered in graffiti. The former England Under-21 player claimed it was his "masterpiece" and that he had taken up art as a hobby, but has now apologised and put a tarpaulin over it. Presumably the Motagua goalkeeper Donaldo Morales took potshots at a journalist with an airgun in Honduras because Saul Carranza had criticised his play rather than his artistic talents. Unfortunately, the keeper, who has played 31 times for his country, also shot his team-mate Jorge Claros, whom Carranza was interviewing at the time. Sounds like a penalty shoot-out at the OK Corral.
Good week
Philippe Croizon, a French amputee, became the first man with no arms or legs to swim the Channel – in 13-and-a-half hours, 10 hours less than he thought it would take. Rory the pigeon delivered a computer memory card from Beverly in Yorkshire to Wrangle in Lincolnshire in 80 minutes, faster than a computer could upload a five-minute video, to highlight rural broadband problems. Lisa Fulton broke the world spray-tanning record, treating 78 women in one hour in Glasgow to beat the previous best of 67.
Bad week
Anne Wood, winner of the women's World Gurning Championship at the Egremont Fair in Cumbria, had to be hospitalised when the 62-year-old collapsed after pulling a face for four minutes. Thierry Henry of New York Red Bulls, fined $2,000 for kicking a ball at Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman while celebrating a goal, injuring his knee. Accrington Stanley fans are no longer allowed to bring banners into the Crown Ground unless they can produce flame-retardant certificates to prove that the material is non-flammable.
The sharpest spanners in the toolbox
Gentlemen, start your leaf blowers. But if you can't be bothered to gather up all those leaves this autumn, why not use the machine for something useful, like the Power Tool Drag Racing Championships at the Fleet Air Arm museum in Yeovilton, Somerset this weekend? You can even say you're turning your hand to DIY as you convert your drills, belt sanders and chainsaws into dragsters that can achieve speeds of up to 70mph on the 100m course because they are so lightweight. One of the brightest sparks in the field is Barry Lee, an IT support worker, whose craft is powered by six circular saws. If it doesn't work, he can always switch it off and switch it on again. For something more relaxing, check out today's World Stone-Skimming Championships on Easdale Island near Oban. It's a pebble dash.

Georgia coach Mark Richt said in a statement to Dawg Post: "I'm aware of the situation and it will be handled in an appropriate way." Richt is scheduled to meet with the media today after practice ends around 6:30 PM. DeLoach, Matthews and Johnson are not scheduled to be available to talk with the media until Thursday, but it is not clear if they will be made available as Georgia customarily does not make injured players or players suspended for any game available to the press. LeMay, who is a redshirt freshman, is not scheduled to appear before the media this spring.
According to reporting by the Athens Banner-Herald the foursome deposited $71.50 checks for a total loss is valued at $786.50 to the UGAAA.
LeMay, unlike the other three, allegedly took a roommate's checks and double deposited them four times. Matthews, DeLoach and Taylor deposited their own checks multiple times. LeMay is facing four misdemeanor theft by deception charges; Matthews is facing three; while Taylor and DeLoach are facing two.
Matthews is rumored to be in the most hot water regarding the event. It is unclear what discipline could come from Mark Richt on the matter, but former Bulldog Ty Flournoy-Smith transferred out of the program after a somewhat similar misdemeanor charge last spring. He is now on Alabama's roster.

Birth control patch higher risk than the pill, FDA saysDec 5, 2005 | The Daily Illini The Food and Drug Administration approved updated labeling for the Ortho Evra contraceptive patch in November.
Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc., the manufacturers of the contraceptive, now place a warning on the product indicating it contains higher levels of estrogen and progestin hormones than most birth control pills.
Women on Ortho Evra are exposed to 60 percent more estrogen than women taking a 35-microgram birth control pill, said David Lawrance, medical director at McKinley Health Center. Products with increased estrogen levels heighten the likelihood of blood clots and strokes for some women.
Denise Watkins, a nurse practitioner in the Women's Clinic at McKinley Health Center, said that Ortho Evra was marked originally as a 20-microgram dosage product.
"The labeling is being changed in order to make providers aware that it's not a 20-microgram dose method and to be aware that if you want a lower dosage method that it's not a good option," Watkins said.
Though the estrogen levels of Ortho Evra have proven to be higher, both Planned Parenthood and McKinley Health Center are not concerned about taking anybody off of the patch.
"Ortho Evra has just started being studied and checked for problems-as of now, no problems have been recorded in scientific literature," Lawrance said.
Kathie Spegal, director of community affairs at Planned Parenthood in Champaign, said that Ortho Evra users' health has been carefully evaluated and that the increased estrogen levels shouldn't cause health problems for users originally screened as Ortho Evra candidates.
Spegal said when screening the women, Planned Parenthood looks for specific risk factors that would make the women ineligible for Ortho Evra- regardless of the product's estrogen level.
The main risk factors are "being older than age 35, tobacco use, high blood pressure, diabetes, and high levels of cholesterol," Spegal said.
Watkins said that the McKinley Health Center is also very cautious about examining women's health.
"We're being cautious and give careful consideration to putting someone on a method," said Watkins.
Some factors considered during screening are menstrual history, high lipid profiles and family health history.
When it comes to Ortho Evra, McKinley sees no immediate apprehensions with current users but will discuss concerns and switch to pills if the patient desires. Women have to come in yearly for a screening examination to see if their health conditions have changed and if a different type of contraceptive is more fitting, Watkins said.
Ortho Evra's estrogen levels remain at a constant level compared to typical birth control pills, which allow the level to fluctuate, said Spegal. While on Ortho Evra, the patch is changed weekly for three weeks and releases the same levels of estrogen from day one to day seven. The fourth week is a "patch free" week.
"Ortho Evra maintains a higher level of estrogen in the body," Spegal said. "The hormone never drops off and stays at a constant level."
Women who take the pill must take it at the same time each day because the level of estrogen in the body decreases as the days go by.
Planned Parenthood carries all FDA forms of birth control. There are 560 women who have chosen the Ortho Evra patch as their birth control since January of 2005, Spegal said.

Internally this 1555 sports an interesting array of components, since it has a very large 500GB hard drive but sticks with underpowered Intel integrated graphics. This is matched to an Intel Core 2 Duo T6500, which runs at 2.10GHz on an 800MHz front-side bus with 2MB L2 Cache, and 4GB of RAM. As such you're basically trading any potential gaming performance for loads of storage and system memory, which could well be ideal for a family who wants to share a laptop and store all their photos, music and videos on one machine.
Wireless networking is limited to 802.11g, not the faster Draft-N standard, though how important this is will depend on the individual. Neither do you get Bluetooth, though as touched upon earlier the wired networking on this machine is of the Gigabit variety - the fastest currently available.
One other interesting difference between this and the versions Dell sells is the operating system. It's still Windows Vista Home Premium, but while Dell ships a 64-bit version as standard, the retail versions come with 32-bit Vista, so can't make full use of the 4GB of RAM provided. It's seems a strange oversight to us.
Even so, this is still system that should cope fine with most things you throw at it. We were slightly surprised to see that it trailed the Samsung R522, which used a similar but lower clocked 2.0GHz CPU, in some of the tests, but the difference is pretty minimal and overall this is a system that will cope comfortably with productivity and multimedia tasks (including 1080p video), just don't ask it to render any meaningful 3D games.
It's also a system that will go long periods between charges. Four hours and 43 minutes in the Productivity segment of MobileMark 2007 is a truly outstanding result, with over five hours possible of low intensity use - as demonstrated by the five hours, 18 minutes runtime in the Reader test. Even very long films shouldn't be a problem, with three hours of playback achieved with the display set to its maximum.
Regrettably, however competent a laptop this is, it's still far more sensible to go to Dell direct. As a quick sortie to the Dell website demonstrates, one can specify a near identical system with the addition of the same 512MB ATI Mobility Radio HD 4570 found in our previous review unit for just £9 more - a final price of £609.01 to be exact. This is a time limited offer, but discounts come and go on Dell's website with regularity, so just as soon as one offer disappears, another one arrives.
If you buy the Dell Studio 1555 from your local hardware emporium you won't be disappointed, it's fundamentally a very good laptop with especially good battery life. However, if you're really keen on it, it's worth checking with Dell first to see if you can't get a little more bang for your buck.
can someone tell me what the F1 key and the FN on the Dell 1555 Studio Laptop is supposed to do. The bookllet supplied with the Laptop does not explain. Dell have not replied to the questions sent to them
Thank you
I have this machine. It looks nice. If it worked it would be nicer. Motherboard went first after clicking noise from inside. After repair and new M'Board the machine has "lost" Audio Drivers so no sound. (Creative SoundBlaster Xfi MB Software Suite) Machine is Win 7). It has also lostr all Internet connection. Oh, yes, and Dell "support" is not open at the weekend so I will loose time at work speaking to them. Yes this laptop looks nice. But if I wanted something that looks nice I would have purchased a painting.
Don't bother with Dell bought this model 6 months ago, had to have two motherboards
complete set of speakers, then sent away for further repairs, came back worse, Dell technical
Worse than c**p. STAY AWAY

It's important for participants to share how they practiced the transformation exercises because disciplines are as much "caught" as "taught." End the first session by asking participants to look at the exercises and choose the one that best fits their personality and life habits. Encourage participants to change or modify the suggestions to fit them. If they're unsure about what to do, ask God for ideas and seek God's guidance. To those who seem especially discouraged, ask, How are you already practicing these disciplines?
After the first week, use the opening moments to review how the experiments with the transformation exercises went. Allow at least ten minutes of your session time for this. (If you find there's not enough time to talk about transformation exercise experiences, it's OK to omit a few questions.) Be sure to use words such as "experiment" and "try it out." Ask participants to focus on these questions: How did it help you connect with God? What worked? What didn't work? If you tried it again, what would you do differently? You learn a great deal from doing an exercise that didn't work. The only way to fail is not to experiment.
Listen carefully and learn from each other. We often learn from the person most opposite from us. Honor any attempt to try the discipline. For example, practicing solitude and silence for only 15 minutes is good! Promote this approach: "progress, not perfection." We start small—we don't try to be martyrs. Apply this adage to the practical of all disciplines: "Pray as you can, not as you can't." Do what you can do and don't worry about what you can't do.

Hello World, My Name Is IsisMature
Last night was another realization of how effing pathetic my life really is.
It was New Year's Eve, a group of us friends decided to go out for dinner to celebrate. At approximately 11:50pm and our clan was at Port-O-Call Restaurant. The hostess was doing a great job in hyping up the crowd. Our table of 11 had just finished our wonderful lobster and Mahi Mahi feasts and were enjoying our last dessert for the year. Five minutes later the wait staff worked their way around the room filling everyone's glass with ceremonial champagne as the hostess gave everyone instructions on what to do at the stroke of midnight.
The overly bubbly and very provocatively dressed mistress of ceremonies attempted to set the ambiance by announcing: "This is a special occasion for all of us and we're gonna bring this New Year in in style. So at the end of the countdown I want you all to grab the one you love and give them the biggest, wettest kiss ever! This is the room for love and I wanna see nothing but steam in the air! After you leave here tonight, I predict some babies will be conceived. Are you all ready? He we go! 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Now let's see some tongue!"
Now as I stated earlier our party consisted of 11 people. 6 female and 5 male so who do you think was the odd one out? Yeah… right… exactly….you guessed it…Hello World, My Name is Isis and my life is effing pathetic!
It's not that I was the odd one out last night. It's not that everyone was boo-ed up and had someone to kiss while Auld Lang Syne played in the background. It's not even that I was totally embarrassed when the moment was over and all sympathetic eyes were staring at me (can you say embarrassing?). Now all of that I can handle but the effed up part is…THIS CRAP HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!! And the mess gets more and more ridiculous each year. My name is Isis Simmons, I'm 35 years old, working at a dead end job and most unfortunately, I'm single. Yes single and on my way to Loserville.
Life wasn't always like this for me. It seems to be and over 30's disease, caused by your classic case of "Missed the Boat" syndrome.
Yeah that's right Missed the Boat. See, as it seems we women, especially black women have a small window to have the fairy tale life…therefore we must ensure we jump on the metaphorical boat of marriage when that window is opened, and if we miss it…well …yeah…we are just S.O.L. (Sh*t out of luck), and will spend the majority of our 30's having unfulfilling sex, hoping that each meaningless sexual/dating experience leads to something that can possibly turn into finding our soul mate. We hope we would be the exception to the rule and meet the man we will fall hopelessly in love with.
Unfortunately, the majority of us ARE THE RULE and will enter into our 40s accepting that we may never marry and possibly never procreate. Yup unfortunately, this is the New Millennium Curse brought on by a vast lack of testosterone and an overwhelmingly overflowing abundance of estrogen.
But like I said, it wasn't always like that for me. There was a point in time when I couldn't keep the men off me…I had dates every night and my biggest dilemma was: what shade of lipstick looked good with my new pair of shoes I bought that day.
Yeesss the glorious 20s…dang those where the best years ever….party, party, party every damn night. You would never find my ass home.
My weekend nights started with a party and ended with a bang! 20s weekends.
Nowadays, my weekends start with Netflix and ends with drool and Martin reruns... 30s weekends.

text: I have a 2 TB hard drive with over 1000 movies, with a folder for each movie, as each movie consists of one or more files, along with a jpg file with the movie cover. Currently the title of each folder contains the movie title, the year of release, imdb rating and some other info. Now I have upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and want to use all those nifty Windows 7 Explorer details for organizing my movie collection. I want to shorten the title of each folder down to just the movie title, and move all the info into the relative fields in the file operating system, so I can sort by those various fields, e.g. when I want to watch the newest movies, or the ones with the highest ratings, etc. I am aware of various applications on the market that are specifically designed for organizing one's media library, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want to use the Windows 7 file operating system to do this. My problem is I can't seem to find a way to give a folder any metadata (aka details or tags) like I'm able to give video files or audio files. So the question is: Does Windows 7 not permit metadata on folders?

Bring water to a boil for pasta, salt water and cook pasta just shy of al dente.
While water comes to a boil, heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add anchovies and melt into oil. Add tomatoes, onions and garlic to the pan, season with crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, parsley and pepper, saute until the tomatoes and onions are soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add wine and reduce for 1 or 2 minutes, melt butter into sauce and add clams to pot. Cover the pot and cook clams until they open, 6 to 7 minutes.
Remove any unopened clams and add pasta to the pan. Toss linguini with sauce for about 2 to 3 minutes so the pasta absorbs the flavors. Add basil to pasta and taste to adjust seasonings.

97 TJ Sport Shift knob replacement strange issue?
Purchased for my daughter (learning to drive a stick) and want to replace the custom knob with the OEM one that has the shift pattern. Purchased an OEM (I believe) from one of the online suppliers. Went to install and realized the custom knob did not have the expected pop-off to access the nut. It essentially is just tightly compression fitted - I twisted in and it pulled straight off. It also looks like the previous owner might have cut off or ground the top of the shift arm that the shifter fits upon.
The factory service guide depicts a picture of the top of the shift arm that does not look like ours.
The knob I purchased is palm-shaped (not round) and does not appear to have a pop-off pattern - nor support the nut attachment. The inside diameter is also to small to fit over the arm shaft for a compression fit like the custom. Any chance someone can post a picture of the OEM knob and top of the shift arm.
Needless to say, I'm confused.
I have a 97 sport, and the shift knob is round when looking at it from the top, and tear-drop shaped from the side profile - it tapers as it goes down to the lever. Sorry, no picture right now, I'm in the airport.
I have never had to take the cover off of mine. The nut that is inside the knob will just unscrew along with the whole knob. When screwing it back on, it always stops in the exact same spot, perfectly straight when fully tight. I dont know if the nut is in a fixed position to keep it from spinning or what, but I can hear it shaking around in there when I take it off.
What kind of aftermarket shifter did you have? Maybe someone would trade with you?
im installing a t handle on my jeep next week some time. i never have luck posting pics but i can try when I do it.
3 Attachment(s)
I just realized that nobody ever posted a pic for you. Here you go. The last one shows his much of the lever it covers.
Thank you - definitely not what I purchased...
Will try again and re-order and OEM shift knob from somewhere...

Another Year opens with a feint. We see the set, lined face of Janet (Imelda Staunton). She's at the doctor's, complaining of insomnia, demanding sleeping pills but refusing to talk about why she's so miz. "Any particular worries at the moment? No financial worries? What about at home?" The doctor — herself happily pregnant — gives up, writes Janet a prescription and refers her to a counsellor.
But though Another Year proves to be a study in intractable misery, Janet is not the focus. She appears in only one more scene, this time blanking the counsellor, Gerri (Ruth Sheen).
"What was the happiest moment in your life?" Gerri asks. "What do you mean?" is Janet's baffled response. But she can answer when invited to rate her happiness on a scale of one to 10. "One."
Here's hopeless then — but the story turns to follow not Janet but Gerri and her family and friends. Gerri, in her late fifties, is a sympathetic listener, contentedly married to sometimes brusque but always endearing and dependable geologist Tom (Jim Broadbent). Ageing well together, happy in suburbia (Wanstead), they enjoy cooking ("pass the parsley") and love their well-tended allotment, repeatedly bundling off to it in their sturdy old Volvo. Their thirty-ish son Joe (Oliver Maltman) is very creditably working as a community lawyer, helping people with no English to resist eviction. If he hasn't shown up yet with a girlfriend in tow, Gerri and Tom aren't too bothered. So this is the Mike Leigh paradis terrestre, as good as it gets.
Gerri's friend, the secretary at the medical practice, Mary (Lesley Manville), isn't doing so well. She's divorced, childless, lonely, turning 50 however trim, and everything she needs — love, children, family in short — is passing her by, forever she fears. For good measure, she's none too bright, visibly having trouble processing new data. And in her desperation, she's drinking like a fish (the film might well be used as an exposé of Britain's alcohol problems).
Gormlessly, she buys a little car from a pair of spivs, its disintegration proceeding comically throughout the film. Even more unwisely, she thinks young Joe might be the one for her. This delusion leads her to reject the offer she does get, from Tom and Gerri's friend from Hull, Ken (Peter Wight). But then Ken, who works in an unemployment office, is a porcine boozer in another league — bottle in one hand, tinny in the other, fag in mouth, hating himself.
When Joe suddenly turns up with a doting and appropriate girlfriend, Katie (Karina Fernandez) — a bubbly occupational therapist at the Royal Free, warmly welcomed by Tom and Gerri, you bet — Mary can't handle it at all.
Leigh has structured this film through the thumping device of the four seasons — why not? it's worked for Eric Rohmer, Vivaldi and Pizza Express — and the story darkens steadily towards winter, after which there is no second spring. The final scenes don't move on, they just fade out. Yes, like life. There's also an insufferable, sub-classical musical accompaniment by Gary Yershon to contend with — the pizzicato strings are bad enough; the mournful oboe that keeps underscoring every fresh descent into misery is far worse.
Leigh's slow-build, no-script working method has its pluses and minuses. On the one hand, the way these characters relate to one another genuinely seems to grow out of a properly shared past, not explicitly drawn out but always there when you begin to think about it. The reason the son is like this is because the dad's like that, of course ... The family relationships hang together profoundly that way.
On the other, the improvised dialogue is even more clichéd than life itself. Mary keeps prattling: "You know me!" The others produce endless, useless nostrums: "Live life while you can, don't think about tomorrow." Moreover, there's a special Mike Leigh way of talking — gabby, with a funny suburban accent always teetering on the edge of parody, backed up in Mary's case by an affected laugh — that's an acquired taste.
Nearly every actor in this film has worked with Leigh before — Peter Wight and Ruth Sheen five times, Jim Broadbent seven, Lesley Manville even more — and they now make up a distinctive troupe. Most of them also work in the theatre and it has to be said they are a pretty stagey crew — pulling faces and striking postures indicative of affliction that could be well understood from the upper circle.
This exaggerated delivery by the actors contrasts oddly with the candour and simplicity of Leigh's filming style, which never emphasises camera movement or angle and holds the same shots for long periods, aiming at an almost documentary approach. The difference between these two elements accounts for much of the special feel of his films (if shown a random five minutes, you'd know what you were watching) and for the fact that there remains debate about whether his work is genuinely sympathetic towards the hapless types who people them or slyly satirical, even sneering.
Does Leigh really portray humdrum middle Britain more faithfully than any other director? The problem with this claim is that it's such an enclosed world he presents, highly stylised in its own way. There are no contemporary references at all in Another Year. Everybody in the film (except perhaps Tom) works in the public sector, the Guardian reader's dream.
None of this makes the film any less engrossing, though. Although so dark in the end Another Year is often very funny en route. I loved fat Ken saying heavily: "There's nothing for me in Hull any more — except my job." And the one actor here who hasn't worked with Leigh before, David Bradley, is just wonderful as Tom's bereaved elder brother Ronnie, a Northern churl so unresponsive he'd be a good match for Dame Edna's late sidekick, Madge. A role model, I'd say.

China will introduce far reaching online advertising regulations from September 1. These are expected to impact all digital marketing channels from search, ecommerce, email, social media and some elements of programmatic buying.
The comprehensive list of guidelines was issued by China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce in early July. It defines online advertising as any link, image or content aimed at promoting products or services on a search engine, ecommerce or social platform.
From September, online advertisements for prescription medicine and tobacco will be banned. Online ads for medical supplies, pesticides, veterinary medicine and other health products will need government approval.
Other key changes include:
- Paid search results must be clearly identified as ads.
- Paid links or content that are advertisements must be clearly labeled as such.
- Adequate options must be provided for users to close an ad (such as a popup).
- Users should not be pushed into clicking on a paid link or content.
- Permissions must be sought prior to attaching ads or promotional links to an email.
- Misleading and fake ads are now deemed illegal.
Faith Gao, programmatic director, Performics, says the strict regulations will be good news for marketers and the industry over the long-term.
"The government is trying to get a hold of a fast-moving segment of the internet. This new move will create a more transparent business environment for major players and will lead to a more favorable development of the industry," Gao says.
"There will be a short period where advertisers will suffer from the format change, some performance fluctuation, but we do think [these changes] will provide a more transparent environment for our clients," she says.
The regulations are seen in part as a reaction to the death of a Chinese student in April. He died after using an experimental cancer treatment he had found during a Baidu search – unaware it was a paid search ad. As a result of a government inquiry, Baidu was forced to introduce a number of changes to its search results ranking system. These include paid-for promotions not consisting of more than 30% of search results per page and preventing unauthorized companies from being promoted.
"The student's death served as a wake-up call for the government, creating pressure to speed up the legislative process regarding online ads," says Choy Yiu Chan, attorney-at-law
local partner, Bonnard Lawson.
A clean up of the industry has been necessary for some time, since China has lacked regulation around online advertisements, app advertisements, and sponsored search results, Chan adds.
The new rules impact all online publishers with a presence in China, including ecommerce sites, search engines and programmatic advertising. Here's an overview of the anticipated impact based on a report from Performics.
1. Ecommerce
Vocabulary on ecommerce sites such as "recommended products", "HOT", "our selection", have in the past, not required any formal labelling as advertisements.
This will change under the new rules. Invoicing will also need to clearly reflect such services from being "technical servicing fees" to "advertising".
Here are examples of current promotions on C2C ecommerce platform Taobao. All of these 'ads' will require clearer advertising labels once the new regulations come into effect.
*Flashy 'promotions' on China's C2C ecommerce platform Taobao (Publicis Media / Performics)
2. Search engines
Currently, Chinese search engines keep search page results looking "informational" by listing paid search results as a "promotion", says the Performics report. Under the new regulations, "promotion" will need to be changed to "ad".
Here is what a search for Australian milk currently brings up on Baidu, including the top three 'promotional' listings.
"For Baidu search engine paid results, and 'recommended products' on ecommerce platforms, the argument has been whether these are advertisements or not. Now it will be clearly stated," says Gao.
3. Programmatic buying
Under the new rules, a demand side platform will need to indicate the source of any ads purchased through programmatic buys.
Here, Performics expects China's programmatic solution to be similar to practices in other markets. Such as this example showing how it is currently done by Google.
*Programmatic ad delivery with Google Ads (Publicis Media / Performics)
To prepare for these changes, ecommerce sites and publishers will be required to hire specialists to review all ads in a form of self-censorship.
Bonnard Lawson's Chan says the new rules will probably limit the online ad space, and in turn, drive up ad prices of search engine providers.
"Baidu's main source of revenue stems from online marketing services. Internet companies will now have to reorganize staff to monitor ad content according to the more stringent guidelines," Chan says.
Content marketing won't be as affected but any material containing paid advertising will need to be clearly labeled. E-mail, embedded links, displayed images and videos all fall into the reach of the new legislation if they are a form of online advertising.
Consequences for contravening regulations include administrative sanctions such as the confiscation of illegal gains and penalties of up to three times the illegal gain. Companies should therefore consider holding funds in reserve to counter any claims, says Chan.
Whether people believe the consumer should take more responsibility in being informed and practicing caution, the prevalence of the internet in everyone's daily lives suggests that measures need to be taken to make internet companies more aware of their social responsibilities, she adds.
International companies are already used to working within regulatory confines, and China's local industry is now catching up. It will force marketers to create better ads rather than relying on deceiving consumers with misleading appearances in search results, says Chan. "Branding, marketing and advertising will have to find other creative ways to expose products. This is a good development and the regulation is needed."

FUTURES/OPTIONS; Precious Metals Lower As Inflation Weakens
By The Associated Press
Published: June 13, 1987
A stronger dollar and signs that inflation may be weakening sent precious metals down sharply yesterday.
The dollar was helped by reports that the United States trade deficit had narrowed in April, to $13.3 billion, compared with market expectations for a deficit of about $14.5 billion.
In addition, producer prices increased a slight three-tenths of 1 percent in May, reassuring investors concerned about increased inflation.
At the Commodity Exchange in New York, gold settled $9.10 to $10.20 lower, with the contract for delivery in June at $454.60 an ounce, and silver was 26.2 cents to 27.3 cents lower, with June at $7.712 an ounce. Cotton Sharply Higher
Cotton futures moved sharply higher on the Cotton Exchange in New York yesterday, settling 0.50 cent to 1.98 cents higher, with the July contract at 76.13 cents a pound.
China is reluctant to sell any old-crop cotton, apparently because it overestimated the size of its crop and underestimated domestic demand, according to Ernest Simon, cotton specialist with Prudential-Bache Securities Inc.
''This wasn't news to the trade, but when this hit the floor, prices strengthened,'' he said. Mr. Simon also said an export and sales report issued Thursday showed better demand than expected. Corn and Soybeans Advance
On the Chicago Board of Trade, corn and soybean futures prices advanced, while wheat declined.
Overnight rains in the Middle West were spotty, and the forecast did not promise much moisture, said Victor Lespinasse, a trader with Dean Witter Reynolds Inc.
The outlook for next week for much of the Corn Belt was for hot, dry conditions. Dry weather in the Southwest was expected to allow farmers to make good progress in harvesting the winter wheat crop, which weighed on futures prices for that grain. Most Livestock Higher
Most livestock and meat futures were higher at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Energy futures were mixed on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
West Texas Intermediate crude oil, the benchmark America blend, settled 4 cents to 7 cents higher, with the July contract at $19.91 a barrel; heating oil was 0.10 cent lower to 0.01 cent higher, with July at 51.85 cents a gallon, and unleaded gasoline was 0.12 cent lower to 0.05 cent higher, with July at 56 cents a gallon.

A nearly 50-year-old elementary school looks a bit newer this morning after a small army of corporate and community volunteers armed with paintbrushes, ladders and hammers gave it a one-day makeover.
As fast as old paint comes off a classroom cabinet at Shearn Elementary on the city's south side, new paint replaces it, a complete facelift for a school that's seen its better days. More than 300 volunteers from big companies like The Home Depot, Jones Apparel Group, Shlumberger and others were brought together in part by Fund for Teachers, a Houston-based organization. Karen Kovach-Webb is the executive director. "When we looked at this school, we looked at it early in the summer and knew that we were going to choose it and work on. We also found that it had an influx of children from Lousiana and so it made it more compelling," she says.
Inside the school's cafeteria, about 20 of those Louisiana evacuees are mixed in with other students as they build bird feeders and book shelves. Principal Bill Buck is almost speechless as he watches the work going on around him. "We're here to support the kids, and when we have the community and parents and everybody involved, we have great teachers here, so everbody being involved just really strengthens that triangle and makes for active learning for all the kids," says Buck.
As he gives orders to more than 200 employess of local Home Depot stores who have volunteered at Shearn Elementary, District Manager Danny Troya says being able to help-out is reward enough. "At the beginning it's awesome, during it's chaos, but then at the end when you look back, it's a beautiful thing," he says.
While some volunteers power-wash sidewalks outside, Marty Lacy, who works for Schlumberger, is on the ballfield, installing new bases and benches and building a new pitcher's mound. Lacy says he's lucky to work for a company that allows him to volunteer.
Other donated improvements at Shearn Elementary include new library books, a basketball court and running track, new blinds for classrooms and improved landscaping.

|Re: Java 5 String APIs (code points, StringBuilder, etc) RE: [classlib] String is special

As the brainchild of Michael Spencer QC and Christopher Purchas QC, Compas was the long-awaited pupillage clearing house scheme, devised to prevent the huge duplication of work chambers and students face during pupillage selection.
The 11 chambers eventually involved in the scheme were also saved the arduous task of sifting through a large number of applications from unsuitable candidates. The scheme provided a computer printout of the brief details of each candidate from which chambers could request further details of those applicants in whom they had an interest. This was thought to be an "excellent idea" and assisted them enormously by cutting their workload by at least half. Other chambers have said their workload was also cut substantially.
It was also hoped a scheme such as Compas would prevent the unhealthy competition which arises with chambers interviewing earlier each year to "bag" the best students. To prevent this Compas worked under strict rules and to a strict timetable for both the applicants and chambers.
There were over 950 requests for application forms with 655 completed forms returned by the closing date of 1 September; Compas secretary Martin Spencer was "staggered by the response" as the interest was far more intense than had been imagined at the outset.
It was feared that perhaps the best 10 applicants would be interviewed by all chambers and that the scheme would appear unfair in this respect but these fears were unfounded as more than 100 applicants were interviewed with over 60 appearing on the list of choices submitted by the chambers participating in Compas. Four Paper Buildings said "that without any doubt the applicants they had seen this year were of a higher standard than they had interviewed in the past".
It was evident during the selection process that the power of the chambers involved in Compas fended off some of the competition as many candidates who had been offered pupillage with a chambers outside the scheme waited to hear whether or not they had been successful with Compas before making their decisions.
Applicants, successful or not, have praised the scheme not only for reducing the workload but also because they believed they were had a fairer chance at securing pupillage.
Compas is now closed as all the pupillage places have been filled. The scheme has worked amazingly well in almost all aspects and it has been gratifying to have such a positive response from both the applicants and chambers involved.
This year Compas selected 12 prominent chambers in the civil field. The Bar Council is proposing a scheme next year to cover all chambers regardless of their speciality. This may not be practical. Even with only 11 chambers, the Compas administration was enormous. With the inclusion of the whole Bar this administration would need an army to produce the results sought by the Bar Council.
Compas' success is also due to the attention which Martin Spencer devoted to it during the selection process; this would not be possible with a scheme as large as the Bar proposes.
Also an applicant who has been unsuccessful with Compas has a "safety net" of chambers outside the scheme they can apply to. If all chambers are involved, an unsuccessful applicant has nowhere else to go.

Comments fuel my writing so please drop a note.
I really don't like the band, but the song is pretty steady.
Unfortunately my PC broke down about a month ago and I haven't been able to rip any of my brother's new CDs. I have nothing really new to listen to but whatever is still chunked into my barely-working iPod mini. It has about less than 2 hours of batt life – so I don't usually do my usual exercise for more than 2 hours. I no longer have that luxury of mobile sound-tripping and I am stuck with whatever soundtrack my surroundings provide me. There are 2:
I have been working night shift for the last three months. No one is really around at these ungodly hours except for a number of other officemates and contractors that I can usually still count with my fingers. The nice thing about working in a less densely populated office is that you can make all the noise you want except during conference calls. And our team's contractor takes advantage of this. To put it frankly, he is quite old and so is his taste in music. His playlist consists of sappy love songs that you usually hear from the Radio Romance station (yes, back in high school, my barkada sings along these songs when we hang out). Being more specific, the songs like Sad to Belong, I'd Really Love to See You Tonight and How Deep is Your Love are some examples. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to listen to these things once in a while – but if your playlist consists of these, and only these and only 25 tracks of this genre and you loop it for four f***ing hours – you have got some serious issues my friend. Correct me here, but there is this unwritten law that when someone plays music on his/her speakers, you can't play anything loud too – and if you want to listen to your music, you would have to bring your earphones. And at that luckiest time of my life, I lost my earphones.
Conveniently, an Elorde boxing gym opened just outside my village. So I tried it out, not really to get fit, but rather to tire myself out since I was having problems falling asleep when I get home in the mornings – probably because I get an LSS on senti songs or something. Boxing in the morning is much better than at night or in the afternoon mainly because there are less people. It is such a hassle to deal with those people who hog the speed ball or something. Anyway, there is usually this couple who boxes in the mornings. And the guy always asks the trainer to bring out a specific CD – yep, this chump has got a workout soundtrack. His playlist starts of with Smoke on the Water, Van Halen's Jump, and the unforgettable Eye of the Tiger, and after that is a Metallica collection. How can you not get into a boxing mood without Eye of the Tiger? But every morning that I go boxing, He listens to the same damn CD. Once, his wife (or partner – I noticed that their last names are different in the log book) placed a 311/chillout CD before they did their stretching. But when he started boxing he just had to have his Rocky background music.
You can do me a favor and burn me a copy of your own soundtrack of your (about) 50 favorite songs. Since I have nothing new to listen to, I want to know your music (-- yes even you, who made me listen to Orson's version of the Sugababes' Push the Button). The catch? Well, you will have your own playlist in my iTunes and a special place in my heart. Hahaha!
Fine, I'll treat you out to fastfood lunch.
