It's being built now, in east London, and this time next year it will be clinging to the side of the Olympics site in Stratford.
Some concern is being expressed at how closely involved with the nearby celebration of the Olympic spirit this gleaming temple to Mammon is going to be. It's not so much a neighbour as a flatmate. Everyone who arrives at the 2012 Games by public transport - that is, 70 per cent of all visitors - will be forced to make their way through its marbled halls to get to the sports grounds. One exit from the Tube will take you straight into Westfield Stratford City; the other will offer you the chance to walk across a bridge into, um, Westfield Stratford City. Want to watch the Games? You must go shopping first.
Shouldn't the Olympics be about more than herding people through shopping centres? Shouldn't it be about strength, determination, the human spirit, and ... beauty and stuff? Hell, no. Give me a wilderness of soulless branded retail any day. 300 shops, 50 restaurants, three hotels, 17 cinema screens and a casino. It's going to be awesome!
The idea that the Olympics should be unsullied by commerce, like the idea that they should be "above politics", is enough to make any sensible person laugh like a jackal. The International Olympic Committee isn't a tracksuit-wearing subcommittee of the UN, still less a charity. It's a private company. And as it grunts and oinks about the Corinthian spirit, the transformative power of sport and the redemptive magic of the 400-metre dash, it wallows up to its greasy chops in a giant great tin bath full of hundred dollar bills.
The Olympics is going to be a giant, very expensive pain in the bum. Every penny we can claw back from it for the London economy will be a good thing. Westfield Stratford City will create 10,000 jobs, while siphoning tons of money from the pockets of Olympic tourists. It will give more pleasure and benefit to us all than any amount of synchronised swimming.
* I've just been to the Edinburgh International Book Festival to promote my novel, The Coincidence Engine. The last time I was here, flogging a previous book, I sat at a signing table and not one copy was sold. As I was giving up, someone asked me to sign a copy. Turned out that they worked for my publisher. This time, an actual member of the public came up with my book and asked me to sign it. "For Glenda," I wrote, and signed with an flourish. "My name's Brenda," she said.
Oh, how we love a man in fake uniform
I am utterly gripped by the revelation that Sir Hugh Orde, chairman of the Association of Chief Police Officers and a man who always seems so authoritative on telly, has all along been wearing a fake uniform with a made-up plastic badge.
"This uniform does not belong to any police force," an unnamed senior officer told the Mail on Sunday. "It has no constitutional or legal basis, especially the hat he wears. Instead of the traditional crest, he's put an ACPO badge on it. It looks made-up, like a traffic warden's uniform."
It's an annoying coinage of the modern age, I know, but sometimes the exclamation "bless!" is appropriate to the emotion. Bless, blessy bless bless! Some are suggesting that Sir Hugh's decision to wear this Gadaffi-style pretend uniform on television is a subliminal pitch for the Met Commissioner's job. But - picturing him doing knee-bends in front of his bedroom mirror with a big silly grin on his face - I think the explanation is more innocent.
The cheek of being more than a pretty face
Paul Breuls, director of The Devil's Double, says he rejected British and American actresses for the role of Uday Hussein's mistress, instead choosing the French actress Ludivine Sagnier. He explained: "The role is very demanding sexually and it's difficult to find actresses who are willing to take that leap into the sexual unknown, especially in the US or in England. Ludivine Sagnier is someone who made our first short list because she's done some of the most sensual work in French film. She's uninhibited, and she's an excellent actress to boot."
He might rephrase that to make "she's an excellent actress" sound like a bit less of an afterthought, no?

text: This was my draft: QB - Marc Bulger RB - Larry Johnson (frozen from last year) RB - Maurice Jones-Drew (froze) RB - Thomas Jones WR - Reggie Wayne WR - Deion Branch TE - Jason Witten K - Neil Rackers Def - BAL Ben - Santonio Holmes Ben - Maurice Morris Ben - Leon Washington Ben - Matt Schaub Ben - Braylon Edwards Ben - Randy McMicheal Now...you would think I would have a good team right? Before the season started? Bulger was/is very underrated and, i thought, a steal in the 6th round. Thomas Jones, i thought again, was going to have a huge role with the Jets. I kinda figured that LJ would be slow to start but he was the best thing i had from last year, along with MJD. Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes were sleepers in my book and so far so good at least by week 7. Guess what my record is?? 3-4, and i have the lowest points in the league. I guess what I am asking is, how do you guys think i drafted compared to how unlucky i have gotten?? I mean Witten and Wayne are studs and my team is being held together by my recievers. Oh well, i guess thats just the way fantasy football goes.

Fossil Watch Repairs. Dinosaurs when comes to service.
"I am sending this email so that I may express to you my extreme disappointment regarding the manner in which my recent watch repair was handled.
Following is the sequence of events:
· 20 December 2016 – Watch was sent (Registered Post) to Metro Service Centre Frenchs Forest Sydney NSW. Watch face was scratched and needed replacement.
· 18 January 2017 – After nearly 1 month, and not receiving any form of acknowledgement that my watch had been received/repaired, I called the Service Centre. They told me my watch had been received and they had the necessary parts to complete the repair. I was also told I should receive my watch within 2 weeks.
· 10 February 2017 (Friday) – I received an SMS message (past the two weeks stated earlier) telling me my repair had been completed and that I needed to contact Fossil Customer Care to finalise payment of $154. I called that morning and made the payment over the phone via Visa Card.
· 16 February 2017 (Thursday Morning)) – As my watch hadn't yet been returned I once again called the Service Centre and spoke with ****. I explained to her I paid for my repairs Friday last week and as yet had not received my watch. After three attempts trying to find where my watch was she informed me my watch was sent out two days ago (14 February 2017 Tuesday) and that I should be receiving it within the next couple of days.
· 16 February 2017 (Thursday Afternoon) – I received and email from xxxx Courier Service informing me my watch had been picked up from the Fossil Service Centre for delivery.
· 17 February 2017 – My watch arrived
Your information states to allow 2-6 weeks (14 – 42 days) for completion of repairs. My concerns are:
· It took 59 days for my watch to be repaired and returned. Even the text requesting payment was outside the specified time frame ie. 49 days.
· When I called on 16 February asking about the status of my repair I was told the watch had been sent out 2 days earlier. That afternoon I received and email informing me my watch was despatched today.
I understand there can be hold ups for any number of reasons and if so be honest and just tell me. However, being blatantly misinformed by the Service Centre is not something I take kindly to. It is for this reason alone I am sending this email to express my disappointment with the manner and timeliness in which your Service Centre handled the repair of my watch.
Given the delays and misinformation associated with this repair I will most certainly not be purchasing any fossil products in future. "
Awful experience buying a watch from Fossil
"I was trying to buy a watch from Fossil.com and tried to do that from 2 credit cards. My orders were denied due to some reasons. Then I check my online banking and see that $100.00 were taken from both accounts, (total $200.00) but I got denied and my order was not confirmed.
I contacted them and they told me I should wait 2-4 weeks for the money to be released. Why? Why did they take my money and denied my order? And why should I wait for 2-4 week for my money to be released? Very bad experience shopping with them. Never gonna do this again. Be aware buying something from their website, otherwise you'd be stolen. "
"My Son purchased a Men's Fossil Machine Twist Automatic Watch ME1157 which is quite expensive for Fossil standards. He saved half of the year for it and then found it for a decent price at a widely know online store. About a month into ownership it started making rattling sounds. A watch repair shop opened it up and found a screw had broken that held the self-winding mechanism and was a clear warranty repair. I sent it to Fossil Australia and they said they would not fix it as they seller was not "an authorised seller". I asked if the watch was genuine and they said it was but they still would not cover it. They sent back a fairly lengthy explanation that seemed like a canned letter they probably send out on a regular basis. I am very disappointed and after researching Fossil a bit more I will not be purchasing any more items from them."
"I purchased a watch for boyfriend for our one year anniversary. Beautiful piece... nice quality. However, I chose to have it shipped to a place other than the billing address (have done this before successfully with other companies.) Fossil actually had me call and confirm that, but the person I spoke to changed the shipping address to the billing address AGAINST MY INSTRUCTIONS and without me knowing even though he said it was confirmed that the addresses were SUPPOSED to be different. Worst part is, the guy didn't even re-enter my billing address correctly. Now I'm in a position where I can not even pick up my order from UPS because fossil entered the billing AND mailing address incorrectly. All in all, the customer service is unhelpful, lies to customers, and I did not even receive the product or a refund for it"
"I bought a Fossil bag one year ago and the leather is still very beautifull but all the handels are falling. The screws don't last... The garanty last only one year so I needed to go to a shoes repair store twice and it cost me a lot. I think they lowered their quality with the years. I will not buy another fossil bag for shure."
"I bought one watch 8 month ago and it was rated to be water resistant to 100 meters but it flooded in the shower after about 2 weeks. I sent it back to be serviced via Metro Service Center and after about 2 weeks I got the same watch back with no water in it. This time I was careful with the watch and took it off before it would get wet (swimming, showering, etc.) and about a month after this one was received, there was fog forming on the inside of the watch. Apparently this watch is not even sealed enough to keep humid weather out. Eventually the fog condensed enough to form droplets and stain the inside of the face so I sent this one back too. This time Metro Service Center sent me the same watch back again with no water damage and a note that said that the watch was tested for water resistance to 100m. Great. Finally I have a watch that is water tight right? Wrong. Again, moisture accumulated from daily use and condensed on the inside of the watch face. I sent this watch and asked for a different model completely. They were generous and gave me the value of the watch plus a whopping $10 in store credit to use at Fossil. I just got the new watch (model CH2945) about 3 days ago and I loved it. This morning however, I noticed a slight rattling sound and noticed that a marker for one of the hours has come off and is not sliding around on the inside of the face and is hitting the hands and messing up the time that is displays. I am now fighting for a refund of the original purchase because I do not want to send this one back in another 3 times to no avail. I am done with Fossil.
To summarize. I bought a watch, had to send it back 3 times and it was never fixed. I had that watch replaced by a new model and it broke after 3 days of use. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS. "
"Their customer service is absolutely horrendous! I went into a retail store in the park place mall a little over a week ago and purchased a watch. i used my card for the purchase and the money was taken out of my account pretty much instantly. last friday I decided that the watch wasn't for me after reading reviews on it. I returned it and they ran my return as credit and now I am stuck waiting 3-5 business days for the funds to be put back into my account. all the custer service people say is to check with my bank as they should see a pending credit on my account. So i checked with my bank and they said they can't see it until it posts. Their customer service just likes to push the blame off of them. They will gladly take your money but they don't want to give it back! Stay cleer of this company seriously, I have bought a few watches in the past but I am never going to shop here or buy another product from this company again, their customer service is just to shady. buyer beware, there are many great watch companies. Don't put yourself through this pain with this company! I wish I could give customer service something lower than 1 star"
"Charged my bank account twice erroneously because they didn't approve the billing (bank approved but fossil did not) and then went through third time, had bank remove other 2 charges (though fossil assure me they would drop off in 3-5 business days I was not happy letting $500 sit off my card for their issues) and then the following day I get charged AGAIN for processing funds for the items I already have a transaction for. I authorize a one time payment to be processed to my card, not to allow you $1000 in holding on my account for 3-5 days for a $250 order just because you decide to split the order up and ship it separately from different locations. Split the finances up in house. Do NOT send another fraudulent charge through on my card when an existing charge has already been placed and then explain to me that's "just how you do it" when no one in the world processes transactions this way. Never again Fossil. You just lost a customer for life over your horrible business practices and idiotic customer support who is further unable to comprehend or explain your shady business practices. Thanks to Chase Bank's great customer service I am not stuck without $750 for 3-5 business days while you twiddle your thumbs and don't care at all, but erroneously and repeatedly placing pending transactions over and over for a single authorized charge is absolutely insane. NEVER do business with Fossil online!"
"Worst website i ever seen. I bought one watch, the order didn't go though, however, the gift card money was charged. Then call the customer services, they said they would call back, but they never call back . They charged my 130 dollors from gift card. "
"It's always easy for me to find something I like on Fossil.com. The styles update every few months. All watches have an 11 year warranty and they have free shipping usually.
I have pretty much always known Fossil for their watches but in the last few years they have come out with some other cool stuff. I have 3 Fossil shirts, a bag and given a bracelet as a gift. It's a great brand and a good value for the quality. No complaints with them so far."
"Bought a watch at the Fossil store yesterday. Opened today and it doesn't work. Dead, dead, dead. Called the store. Line was busy. Finally got through and they put me on hold for about 4 minutes before I hung up and called back. Since I live in another state, my only recourse is to ship the watch back and they'll put a battery in it. Since I paid cash, this is my only choice. I can only hope they'll send it back and not lose it. Keeping my fingers crossed."
"The customer service from Fossil is appalling - I can only hope that they go out of business. I saw a dress of theirs in US Weekly and went online to find it. In the magazine it was displayed as having a belt. In the pictures on the Fossil website, it was also depicted as having the same belt (different color dresses were shown with the same belt, also in different colors). I ordered the dress, and no belt came with it. It was frumpy and not flattering at all without the belt. I called to question about it and they said that the belt doesn't come with it. I said that it is false advertising, and all they were willing to offer was free shipping if I bought the belt. If you show a belt as coming with the belt in a printed magazine, as well as on your website, I expect the belt to come with the dress. The dress is going back and I will never, EVER shop at this store again. I only expect top-notch service these days as companies and sales people can be easily replaced - hopefully Fossil is one of the companies that go under before this recession turns around. "
"My story of three orders from Fossil.com:
I Ordered a watch and wrist strap. Watch came without the strap. Contacted customer service (which replied quickly) who told me the strap was out of stock (still reported as "in stock" on the website) and that I would not be charged for the item, and to try ordering a different strap.
I asked to cancel the order. They said orders can not be canceled.
Watch arrived. Ordered another strap as advised.
The other strap arrived. Then the one from the original order arrived. I'd been charged afterall.
A year later, girlfriend ordered a "Philippe Starck" watch. It arrived obviously damaged. Ordered an RMA. They were out of stock of that, too.
A third order was placed for some belts and a wallet. Nearly all Fossil wallets say "Genuine leather", but this one was some soft of fake vinyl. Technically it did not say "Genuine Leather", but it also had no mention of the materials. The belts arrived fine and are still in use.
If you want something made by Fossil, drive to the nearest Fossil store. Their website is incompetently managed. It also saved my credit card information when I expressly unchecked the "Save credit card information" box.
"I had ordered a watch from their website and initially all was well. It came quickly but within a month it had stopped working. I emailed their customer service department - this is their major weakness.
The responses I got were very short and vague. After going back and forth with them several times, I was told I could mail the watch to them at my own expense and pay a repair fee or take it to a local fossil store and they can change the battery. I chose the latter obviously. The store staff were very friendly and quickly changed the battery for me. It worked again. Then 2 days later it was not working again!!
Again back and forth with email support. Frustrated with them, I called them and a nice person sent me a paid shipping slip to send the watch back under the warranty. I called UPS who refused to pickup the package - apparently they only paid for delivery of the package, so off I went to find a UPS store to drop the package off myself.
This week I get an email stating they credited me for the return. Well, that was not what I requested. I liked the watch and wanted a replacement. So again to the email - now they tell me they are out of stock until Aug 9th. Okaaay, so will they send me the watch in August or do I need to order it again? Beats me - I can't get a complete answer from them.
Definitely would not do business with them again!"

Annie: Why... am I upset??Mature
Rosalita comes out with Kate, the obviously not straight. I don't thinks she doesn't go for men either.... so she must be Bi like me.
"Hey" Jake says. He's smiling quite happily now at both of them but his arms around me tighten slightly.
"Hey" Kate giggles. Rosalita sits in the chair and Kate sits on the arm rest. "How are you two?"
"Amazing" Jake says kissing me. I pull back and look over at Kate and Rosalita who seem to be getting closer each secound.
"Jake's having to go away tonight to get back home so he can fetch his stuff over" I tell them looking directly at Rosalita for some reason. I feel pain in my chest and its like Jake feels it cause he tightens his arms again around me. Rosalita smiles.
"Do you want to catch up??" I ask Rosalita. Jake seems to wince and I look back at him to his face still smiling but it seems fake. Whats he worried about??
"I would love to" Rosalita says. "Your my best friend so I would love to hear about your trip to Australia"
Jake seems to settle. "We only went out twice" Jake says smugly. Rosalita slightly flinches at this which seems to make Kate as confused as me.
"Did you now?" Rosalita says. "Still a girly night with you Annie would be fun"

The Orphanage Above the Clouds
It was a brutal little weapon, a revolver, its stubby black barrel decorated with ornate silver curls and illustrations of swordfish, the ebony handle wrapped with steel and bearing the strange, circular symbol of a red, upside-down tree inside a white ring, the tree's twisted roots tangled around the top half of the ring.
"Pistol." said the girl, expertly clicking it open to check that it was loaded. All six cylinders contained a glinting bullet cartridge.
"Yeah, obviously a it's a pistol. Wot kind?"
"A Seraphic Mark 2, multi-cylindered revolver. Gas augmented." Lily said as she flipped it closed.
Lady Thricetin smiled her rotten-toothed smile.
"Looks like me lessons have rubbed off on yer after all!" she said, ruffling the tangled mass of Lily's blood-red hair. Lily said nothing, her arms hanging loosely at her sides, the gun resting against the tattered white fabric of her gown. She shivered slightly in the winds of the open skies.
"Now, do you remember the plan?"
"Yes miss."
"And you're okay with the plan?"
"Y-yes miss."
The girl looked to the ground and gave a shuddering breath.
"And," Lady Thricetin sighed, "and are you crying?"
Lily went to speak, but only managed a whimper before clamping her mouth shut.
The old woman sighed again, and gave a steam of weary curses under her breath, and then knelt down to speak with the girl, the woman's dress spilling out around her, the frills like pale waves in a black satin sea. She placed her hands on Lily's shoulders.
"Listen, my girl,"
The girl hid her teary eyes with her arm, drawing it across her face, the gun still clutched in her filthy, skinny hand.
"I know this is your first mission, I know you have never...never killed anyone before. And I know this is your first time back in that ghastly place. I know you're scared and worried and whatnot, but nobody will attack you, cos nobody expects a child to pull a gun on 'em see, and even if they do just think of our training, and the hours we've spent. You're strong, and you have to be Lily, you have to be strong for them kids, toiling away in the furnaces. Lily look at me!"
And she shook the girl slightly, causing Lily's silver eyes to flash up towards her.
"I need you to do this my girl. I need you. They need you. Them kids in the workhouses, they are depending on us to burst this bleeding government. "
"Y-yes miss." she sniffed.

Medication Issues in Urgent Care | Jasmeet Bhogal, MD
A vast majority of patients presenting to the urgent care centers have multiple medical problems. This makes them more likely to be on multiple medications as well. This usage of multiple medications continues to rise. With this increasing use of multiple medications by patients, urgent care providers are faced with the unique challenge of treating these patients. The challenge lays in managing the patient's acute condition in the most appropriate manner, with or without the use of medications, while balancing the acute needs with the concerns regarding the use of multiple medications. What further intensifies the need to look into this issue is the concern regarding the financial implications of this matter.
These medication concerns include polypharmacy and drug allergies. This session focuses on these issues surrounding the use of multiple medications in an urgent care setting, and will hopefully help the urgent care providers in making better decisions while prescribing medications in their day to day practice.
Transitioning a Satisfied Patient Into a Loyal Fan | Alan Ayers, MBA, MAcc
While retail and other service businesses have made significant investments in creating differentiated brands, many consumers view all urgent care centers as being equal. Commoditization in a crowded marketplace makes it difficult to retain patients and/or demand a price premium. By contrast, a service experience that consumers recognize as being distinct from competitors, which meets their needs by minimizing time and hassle, has the ability to create loyal fans who not only return frequently, but tell others to do likewise. This course provides insights on consumer behavior and direction on creating a stand-out brand that creates lasting loyal fans.

University of Santo Tomas Hospital, Manila, Philippines
This study was done to determine the value of the 24-hour tuberculin test (TT), its comparison with the currently recommended 48- and 72-hour readings, and the factors which may affect it.
A 0.1 ml 5 TU PPD was administered using the Mantoux Method. Induration was measured at 24, 48 and 72 hours. An induration ≥8mm at 72 hours defined a positive test. The subjects were 230 children, 6-15 years old, from Bukidnon, Southern Philippines, who were not previously diagnosed or treated for tuberculosis (TB), never had a TT and had no condition/s that may cause anergy.
Among 230 subjects,117(50.8%)had positive tests at 72 hours. The mean (SD)induration size (mm) was significantly larger at 72 hours [9.48 (5.65)] than at 48- [8.17 (5.23)] and 24 hours [5.81 (3.7)], respectively. A positive correlation existed between the induration sizes at the three periods. At 24 hours, the presence of any induration had a sensitivity of 96.58%, specificity of 51.33% and positive predictive value (PPV) of 67.26%; an induration ≥4mm (half the cut-off),had PPV of 81.15%; an induration ≥8 mm had a sensitivity of 34.18%, but 100% specificity and PPV;an induration <8mm had a NPV of 59.74%; any induration associated with chest x-ray (CXR) suggestive of tuberculosis, among other factors, had a PPV of 98.18%.The absence of an induration at 24 hours had a negative predictive value (NPV) of 93.55%.
Any induration at 24 hours may increase with time. At 24 hours, any induration has a low specificity, high sensitivity, and low PPV; induration ≥4mm(half the cut-off point) has high PPV; induration ≥8mm has high specificity, low sensitivity, and high PPV; <8mm has low NPV; any induration associated with CXR suggestive of tuberculosis has high PPV;the absence of any induration has high NPV.
This study suggests that the tuberculin test be read at 72 hours whenever possible. However, when pressed for time, the 24-hour TT may be utilized with caution.

Gin Act 1751
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|24 Geo. II c. 40
|Other legislation
|Amended by
|Sale of Spirits Act 1862
|Repealed by
|Administration of Justice Act 1965 (c.2), section 34 and schedule 2.
Status: Repealed
The Sale of Spirits Act 1750 (commonly known as the Gin Act 1751) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain (citation 24 Geo. II c. 40) which was enacted in order to reduce the consumption of spirits, a popular pastime[1] that was regarded as one of the primary causes of crime in London.[2] By prohibiting gin distillers from selling to unlicensed merchants and increasing fees charged to merchants, it eliminated small gin shops, thereby restricting the distribution of gin to larger distillers and retailers.[3]
First imported from the Netherlands in the 1690s, gin began to rival beer as the most popular drink in England. In 1689, the English government opened the distilling trade to all English people who paid certain taxes. Over the next sixty years, however, the government regulated the sale of gin with an inconsistent taxation policy. The ready availability and low cost of gin led to the a massive rise in consumption known as the Gin Craze; by the 1730s, consumption in London had risen to the equivalent of 2 pints per week per Londoner.
Politicians and religious leaders argued that gin drinking encouraged laziness and criminal behaviour. In 1729, Parliament passed a Gin Act which increased the retail tax to 5 shillings per gallon. With the Gin Act 1736 the government imposed a high licence fee for gin retailers and a 20 shillings retail tax per gallon. These actions were unpopular with the working-classes and resulted in riots in London in 1743. The license fee and tax were lowered significantly within a few years.
The Act[edit]
The Gin Act of 1751 prohibited gin distillers from selling to unlicensed merchants, restricted retail licenses to substantial property holders, and charged high fees to those merchants eligible for retail licenses. To offer the masses another invigorating (and non-alcoholic) beverage the import of tea was also encouraged. Also men were encouraged to drink beer.

The Chargers were looking to break ground with their first Super Bowl title. One season removed from the AFC title game, the Chargers felt primed to build on their recent playoff success.
But they fell to the Steelers in a divisional playoff game, putting at least another season between the Chargers and that elusive NFL title.
This season ended much like the previous one, with star running back LaDainian Tomlinson idle with an injury and the Chargers bowing in a cold-weather game. The Steelers dominated the line of scrimmage and eliminated the Chargers, 35-24, for the first time in three postseason meetings.
What went right: The Chargers, along with coach Norv Turner, have to be commended for staying the course after losing eight of their first 12 games. Despite long odds of catching the Broncos, the Chargers did with spirited play down the stretch due, in some part, to a revived defense under new coordinator Ron Rivera. The Chargers benefited from the dramatic mid-season firing of Ted Cottrell in favor of Rivera.
But it was the offense with quarterback Philip Rivers spearheading an attack that transformed them from leaning on Tomlinson and opting to ride Rivers' big arm. He set a club record with 34 touchdown passes. Rivers was sensational, finishing with the NFL's highest passer rating in his third year as a starter and the Chargers have made the playoffs all three years.
RB Darren Sproles
Donald Miralle/Getty
Right guard Kris Dielman supplied the line's nasty edge and was rewarded with another trip to the Pro Bowl. Tight end Antonio Gates was also selected, despite battling toe and ankle injuries.
What went wrong: Losing injured Pro Bowl linebacker Shawne Merriman after one game was a significant blow, one in which the defense didn't recover from until the final two months.
Cornerback Antonio Cromartie was exposed when not playing behind a tenacious pass rush - from Merriman - and was well off his previous Pro Bowl form. Tomlinson is having a harder time stiff-arming Father Time, as nagging injuries now reduce this great player to occasional flashes of brilliance.
It's clear the offensive line's right side will need attention with tackle Jeromey Clary (consistency) and guard Mike Goff (free agent) both with issues. The fullback position isn't critical in Turner's system, but two rookies, Jacob Hester and Mike Tolbert, struggled in their roles. The Chargers could look to upgrade their linebacker play inside, opposite leading tackler Stephen Cooper.
--OLB Jyles Tucker was given a contract extension when replacing Shawne Merriman this season and his play was spotty, although he finished with 5.5 sacks.
--DE Igor Olshansky, a former second-round pick, will become a free agent and there has been no movement by the Chargers to retain him.
--RB LaDainian Tomlinson is hoping to avoid surgery for his groin injury. He sat out the game in Pittsburgh and will attempt to heal the injury through rest unless surgery becomes a necessity.
--WR Malcom Floyd will be in the mix next year, despite being derailed down the stretch with a collapsed lung.

text: NEW YORK, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of McGraw-Hill Education's ongoing efforts to prepare high school students for success in Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams, the company today announced the launch of McGraw-Hill SCOREboard, the first AP* exam preparation tool built on adaptive technology to help students build the skills and background knowledge they need to succeed on their AP exams. The launch of SCOREboard comes at an important time for U.S. high school students, who are increasingly taking AP courses as a cost-effective, efficient way to earn college credit. More than 950,000 U.S. public high school graduates took at least one AP Exam in 2012. The latest addition to McGraw-Hill Education's growing array of adaptive and digital learning solutions, SCOREboard uses adaptive technology to adjust to students' individual learning needs, providing students with personalized learning plans that help them master course material as they prepare for their AP exams. SCOREboard, which McGraw-Hill Education developed in conjunction with adaptive technology partner Area9, supports the company's ongoing commitment to college and career readiness, helping to prepare students for the rigors of college-level work before they step foot on campus. Additionally, SCOREboard is designed to support the latest AP standards released by the College Board, including new AP standards for science. McGraw-Hill Education has recently issued new editions of its AP Biology and AP Chemistry course materials to address the specific instructional content these new standards, as well. "AP exam enrollments have risen steadily over the past decade, but unfortunately student performance on those exams has not," said Christine Willig, senior vice president of products at McGraw-Hill School Education. "Of the high school students taking AP exams, nearly half fail to earn what is considered a passing score. With SCOREboard, students can get a clear picture of precisely where they stand well in advance of their exam, giving them the academic edge they need to perform well on the exam and ultimately in college." Built using official AP guidelines produced by the College Board, the solution includes a personalized learning plan and comprehensive student and teacher reports. Through adaptive questioning, SCOREboard assesses student understanding and provides detailed, immediate feedback about students' areas of weakness. The personalized learning plan provides each student—after completing a diagnostic test—recommendations on AP topics that the student still needs to master. Four complete, timed practice exams for each course provide practical AP test-taking experience. Like the diagnostic test, these auto-graded exams give immediate feedback and include detailed scoring rubrics.

Legislation details changes to BCWA
A bill containing numerous alterations to Bristol County Water Authority enabling legislation has been introduced to the General Assembly.
Rep. Joy Hearn (D-Dist. 66, Riverside, Barrington), Rep. Jan Malik (D-Dist 67, Warren, Barrington), Rep. Raymond Gallison Jr. (D-Dist. 69 Bristol, Portsmouth) and Rep. Ken Marshal (D-Dist. 68, Bristol, Warren) introduced a bill outlining the changes on Tuesday, Jan. 15. It was referred to the House Municipal Government Committee.
The proposed changes are as follow:
- By-laws shall be amended only by an affirmative vote of six of the directors and each town shall have at least one representative vote affirmatively for the required amendment to take effect. (This item specifies how the board of directors is able to modify its by-laws.)
- Directors shall be appointed based on their qualifications without regard for political affiliation. (The legislation currently states no more than two directors from each town shall be of the same political party.)
- Directors shall serve no more than four consecutive terms before they must relinquish their position for at least one three year term. Current members may continue for up to two more consecutive terms regardless of previous service. Directors may be removed from their positions by a majority vote of their local governing body. Each town shall develop and adopt standards for the removal of and expectations for its members on the board of directors. (The legislation currently has no term limit.)
- Directors shall receive compensation of $1,000 pro rata per year, while the chair shall receive $1,500. (The legislation currently states directors make $35 for each meeting attended up to $1,000 per year while the chairman makes $50 per meeting attended up to $1,500 per year.)
- A chairperson and vice-chairperson shall be elected by the board of directors. (The legislation currently states the vice-chairperson is designated by the chairperson.)
- Several actions must be approved by an affirmative vote of least six members including at least one from each town, such as the exercise of eminent domain, the issuance of bonds, notes or borrowing exceeding $500,000, rate alterations and the adoption of an annual budget. (The legislation currently requires an affirmative vote of at least seven directors.)
- The board of directors shall appoint an executive director and shall determine the amount of reasonable compensation for the position. (The alteration strikes language that allows the board to appoint a secretary and such additional officers, staff members and employees as it deems appropriate.)
- All actions taken by the board must comply with state Access to Public Record and Open Meeting laws. (This change adds detail to a section requiring public meetings unless in executive session is warranted.)
- One or more hearings must be held for public comment prior to the board of directors approving amendments to any rates and/or fees. Notice of these hearings shall be advertised in local newspapers of each town and posted in all three town halls. (The current legislation has no requirement for public hearings.)
- The authority must solicit proposals for the engagement of external professional services. (This entire section is new to the legislation.)

Ipswich reject Rhodes bid
Ipswich boss Roy Keane has confirmed he has turned down an offer for teenage striker Jordan Rhodes.
Last Updated: 27/07/09 10:43am
Ipswich Town boss Roy Keane has confirmed he has turned down an offer for teenage striker Jordan Rhodes.
The promising forward is fit again after suffering a metatarsal injury while on loan at Brentford last season and he scored in Ipswich's friendly win over Colchester United at the weekend.
Rhodes sparkled during his time with Brentford, scoring seven goals in 14 games for the eventual League Two champions.
Brentford have previously expressed an interest in re-signing the 19-year-old, with Keane revealing there has been a bid from an unnamed club.
However, Keane has been impressed by Rhodes since taking over at Portman Road and is keen for the youngster to challenge for a first-team spot.
"When I took over I received a lot of phone calls about him and we did turn down one offer for him, but he's in the group on merit," Keane told the club's official website.
"As much as I take feedback from my staff, I judge players with what I see with my own eyes and he couldn't do a lot more at the moment.
"There's been talk about strikers here, but if he keeps putting the ball in the back of the net then that will do the talking for me.
"He's only a young lad and there is a hell of a lot he has to improve on, but his attitude and work-rate has been spot on."

How to: Configure FileSystemWatcher Component Instances
There are several properties you set for your FileSystemWatcher component instances to determine how they behave. These properties determine what directories and subdirectories the component instance will monitor and the exact occurrences within those directories that will raise events.
You use two properties to determine what directories the FileSystemWatcher component should watch: Path and IncludeSubdirectories.
To indicate the fully qualified path of the root directory to watch
Set the Path property on an existing component instance, as shown in the following code:
This setting can be in standard directory path notation (c:\directory) or in UNC format (\\server\directory).
The IncludeSubdirectories property indicates whether subdirectories within the root directory should be monitored. If the property is set to true, the component watches for the same changes in the subdirectories as it does within the main directory the component is watching.
In addition to specifying the directories and subdirectories to watch, you can indicate what specific files and types of changes you are interested in watching for. In part, you determine the changes to watch for by defining handlers for only those events in which you are interested. For example, if you only want to be notified when files are created, you would only handle the Created event. However, you can set a series of properties that restrict the component's activities even further.
You can use the Filter property to indicate a particular file or a wildcard-matching pattern that restricts the component to watching only certain files or directories within the root directory. For example, if you want to watch for the creation of text files within the root, you could set the Filter property to "*.txt" and then create a handler for the Created event. You can set the filter to any value, including all valid files extensions. The default value "*.*" returns everything; "" (an empty string) also returns all files or directories. However, you can only set one filter string at a time. If you need to, you can change the filter after the FileSystemWatcher has started to receive events.
The FileSystemWatcher component is designed to watch for changes within a directory, not to changes to the directory's attributes themselves. For example, if you are watching a directory called c:\MyProjects, the component will monitor changes within the directory but not changes to the directory itself.
You can also use the NotifyFilter property to further restrict the changes that are reacted to. You can set the NotifyFilter property to watch for changes to directory names, files names, or both. In addition, the NotifyFilter property contains a series of values that restrict the Changed event. The Changed event has the potential to raise a large number of events, because it will raise an event each time any change is made to the file in question; some standard operations like copying and moving files will actually cause several file change events to be raised as various attributes such as size, last write, and last access are altered.
The NotifyFilter property limits the number of file or directory changes for which the component instance will raise events. You can set up your component so that it will raise events only when a file or directory name changes, when the attributes of an item in the main directory change, when a file's size changes, when its last write or last access time changes, or when security access to a file or directory rights change. These values are all part of the NotifyFilters enumeration. You can set multiple changes to watch for by using a BitOr (for Visual Basic) or | (for Visual C#) operator, as shown in the example below.
You must set the EnableRaisingEvents property to true in order for the FileSystemWatcher component to start monitoring for changes.
To configure an instance of the FileSystemWatcher component
Create an instance of the FileSystemWatcher component. For more information, see How to: Create FileSystemWatcher Component Instances.
Set the Path property to the fully qualified path of the root directory you want to watch.
You can enter this as a standard file path or a UNC path.
Set any of the optional properties for your instance.
To watch for changes to a specific file or subdirectory name within the root
A wildcard filter expression that restricts the monitoring activities of the instance
To watch for changes within any subdirectories the root directory contains
true or false
To watch for only specific changes to a file or subdirectory when handling the Changed, Renamed, Deleted, or Created event
Any of the available values in the NotifyFilters enumeration
Enable your component instance by setting the EnableRaisingEvents property to true.
For example, suppose you want to create a FileSystemWatcher instance that watches a drop directory called "reports" for the creation of new .txt files. You also want to monitor changes to existing reports that rerun dynamically when data changes. You would set up your component as follows:
// This needs to be declared in a place where it will not go out of scope. // For example, it would be a class variable in a form class. System.IO.FileSystemWatcher MyWatcher = new System.IO.FileSystemWatcher(); // This code would go in one of the initialization methods of the class. MyWatcher.Path = "c:\\"; // Watch only for changes to *.txt files. MyWatcher.Filter = "*.txt"; MyWatcher.IncludeSubdirectories = false; // Enable the component to begin watching for changes. MyWatcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true; // Filter for Last Write changes. MyWatcher.NotifyFilter = System.IO.NotifyFilters.LastWrite; // Example of watching more than one type of change. MyWatcher.NotifyFilter = System.IO.NotifyFilters.LastWrite | System.IO.NotifyFilters.Size;

Scandinavian pieces, including a Finn Juhl sofa and leather chair, dominate. On the wall is a Fernand Léger plaster relief.\nThe family room, a space that's open to the apartment's 100-foot-long window wall, was given multiple areas for conversation. Arranged in front of the fireplace are beanbag chairs and a trio of Prospero Rasulo side tables. The chandelier is a Jean Royère design.\nThe family room's sofas and tables are low slung—no higher than the base of the windows—so that they don't disrupt the views. A 1950s Hans Wegner chair occupies a corner. A 2005 pencil drawing by Jenny Granlund rests on a ledge behind a sofa.\nThe dining room. "It's separated from the family room and the living room by the freestanding walnut elements that contain storage, fireplace and powder room functions," says Lee F. Mindel.\nIn the kitchen, which has a terrazzo floor, a Josef Frank wallcovering adds color to an otherwise pale palette. The room can be closed off from the adjacent gallery and dining room by a movable partition.\nA wall paneled in bleached walnut warms the master bedroom. Hanging over the Poul Kjaerholm chairs is a 1959 work by Lars Englund.\nThe floor plan, which includes the architects' furniture placements. The 100-foot-long window wall is at the top of the drawing.

The Fed's Stock-Market Dependency Problem
Stocks' relief rally points to a problem for the Federal Reserve
Stocks have been rebounding, but forgive Federal Reserve policy makers if they don't entirely share investors' sense of relief.
The past few trading days have been good for the U.S. stock market, with the S&P 500 logging its biggest three-day gain since August. And it is easy to come up with reasons why.

Security Slice: DDoS Dangers and Scam Phone Calls
According to a recent New York Times blog post tech start-ups are major targets for ransom-style DDoS attacks. These attacks are just like the Windows tech support virus scam plaguing consumers, and there's not much start-ups can do to protect themselves.
Are there any steps that we can take to improve protection against DDoS attacks?
Listen to episode 135 of our Security Slice podcast and hear Craig Young and Tyler Reguly discuss why attackers love Windows computers, the connection between scam calls and DDoS take downs, and why we all need ISPs to step up and strengthen their security.

text: I started my career again and focused on alot of sparring and allocating my points on submissions defence, takedown defence and clinch defence. I'm on the 12th fight now of my career and have just started getting the top 6 fighters. I'm really struggling with any cpu opponent that uses all takedowns and submissions even though my stats for defence are very high. How the hell can you counter these floor experts? I'm not great at the game clearly, I am still playing on beginner and the amount I struggle when the cpu gets me to the floor is unreal. I just can't figure out how to stop them getting me into submissions. I now know how to roll out or turn myself into a dominant position, but even when I'm on top, I find the cpu still putting triangle submissions on me that I can never escape. Very annoying game at the moment.

The house in yesterday's photo is the James Hatton Wahab house. Below is a photograph I made a few days ago.
This 1 1/2 story central gabled house was built ca. 1886. The columned stoop and porches visible in yesterday's photo were added in 1936-1937. The house was raised, additional rooms added, and the porches expanded around the turn of the 21st century. This house was originally built for James Hatton Wahab (1861-1915) and his wife Martha Ann Howard Wahab (1867-1949). James Hatton was a notable islander who served in the US Life-Saving Service.
Hatton and Martha Ann's son, Robert Stanley Wahab (1888-1967), continued to live in the house. Stanley established and operated the island's first ice and electric plant, began the Wahab Village and Wahab Hotel (now Blackbeard's Lodge), and turned the former Odd Fellows Lodge building into an inn that was the forerunner of today's Island Inn.
Stanley Wahab was one of Ocracoke's first native entrepreneurs and one of the first to envision the island's tourist potential. Stanley's widow, Myra Wahab (1903-2002), lived in the house until her death. Stanley's nephew, Chip Stevens, owner of Blackbeard's Lodge, and his family live there today.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - As part of her ongoing effort to protect children from dangerous sexual predators, state Rep. Michelle Mussman, D-Schaumburg, introduced legislation that would eliminate the statute of limitations for sex crimes committed against children and make it easier for prosecutors to punish sex offenders.
"As a mother, one of my top concerns is to protect our children from sexual predators," Mussman said. "We must do everything we can to prosecute these predators and ensure that they cannot commit these heinous crimes against innocent children."
Mussman is the chief sponsor on House Bill 1129, which eliminates the statute of limitations for many sex crimes against children including aggravated child pornography, using the internet to solicit a child to commit a sexual act, use of the internet to arrange to meet the child without knowledge of the parent, and traveling or attempting to travel to meet a minor.
Mussman's measure is in response to the case of former Congressman Dennis Hastert, who recently was sentenced to prison for financial crimes he committed to conceal sexual abuse of several young athletes he coached decades ago. While he admitted to this misconduct, he could not be charged for those crimes because the statute of limitations had long passed.
"Dangerous sexual predators should not avoid being punished for the crimes they commit just because they happened years ago, and this legislation will fix that," Mussman said. "I look forward to working with Attorney General Lisa Madigan and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass this commonsense measure as quickly as possible."

My mother is from Boston, MA. One of the branches of my father's business was located there – plus I have family there. I spent a lot of time in Boston as a young person and just went back last year and used these apps to get around!
This app is a must-have – using GPS and info from MBTA it shows locations of buses in Boston and adjacent cities. It also predicts times on a map. Works great, updated frequently.
NESN Mobile
If you want to catch up on all the Boston teams in one spot this is a good place. This free app has video and news about the Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, and Celtics. Works great, easy interface, frequent updates, and a good place to get a taste of Boston if you are away. Better than ESPN Boston.
WAAF – Boston's Rock Station
You can listen to the station with this app, as well as watching videos and other features. It freezes frequently – but when it works it's great to hear some WAAF on your phone.
Search For Boston Apartments
This free app is a tool to help you find apartment listings in Boston. You can sort by price, market date, and location. You can't do custom searches. The app lets you call an agent. It's not the only tool I would use but definitely helpful to look at listings and hey, it's free!
This free app is for people who live in Boston. It's a place to report issues like potholes and broken city infastructure. You can track your reports and look at other reports – as well as tweet them out. It lets you see reports on a map. Only uses GPS, doesn't let you manually enter a location. It definitely is a great way to channel the frustration that broken stuff can create! Recommend to all Boston locals.
