Lewis Hamilton spoke out about his over-use as a PR tool before this year's British Grand Prix - so he right that F1's commercial pressures are starting to damage drivers' ability to race?
In the days between the European and British Grands Prix, Hamilton says he travelled from Valencia to Portugal then to Switzerland for a couple of hours and on to the UK, working all the way. After arriving in Britain, he spent "pretty much the whole time" doing appearances, with little time to concentrate on racing preparations.
The intense PR schedule led Hamilton to alert McLaren to some strong demands for his upcoming contract negotiations, stating: "When I re-sign the contract with McLaren they are going to be shocked at how many days they are not going to be able to make me do. I will be doing a lot less work... I will have at least five days to prepare [for a race]."
McLaren's main sponsors Santander and Vodafone have both adopted some significant activation strategies in recent years, particularly in terms of online viral video development and some event activities - but all top drivers have to work hard to meet their team sponsors' demands.
But it's fair to say that when Hamilton was growing up with aspirations of becoming an F1 driver, he was focused on the racing not on the kind of sponsor activities that have seen him and Jenson Button turning on their comedy routine on a fashion shoot, setting up camp at a frozen music festival site and driving a VW van to Silverstone.
Sure, it's fun - and they do seem to look like they enjoy it - but there is an important balancing point.
Seeing Fernando Alonso's logo-filled race suit sitting in Froilan Gonzalez's 1951 Ferrari at Silverstone showed the stark contrast to those real racing days, when the likes of Gonzalez, Juan Manuel Fangio and Sir Stirling Moss would race in oil-stained overalls and would never have dreamed of doing such levels of off-track PR, if any at all.
Hamilton suggested at Silverstone that other top drivers were not under the same pressure to carry out PR work - although Sebastian Vettel's sheep-shearing activities in Australia water down that claim a little! But it's true that the sponsorship model F1 has adopted is to provide value through engaging activation rather than a simple brand-building exercise - and activation requirements seem to be growing every year.
That means access to drivers, either for corporate events or for the kind of content opportunities that McLaren is embracing, is in high demand - and teams are desperate to sell that time to all comers.
It's a stretch to suggest Hamilton's recent off-form racing is down to the demands on him away from the track, but it won't have helped.
These days the level of detail required to be successful on the track is high. Racing requires huge commitment and every extra minute with an engineer looking over data, every extra minute in the gym, even every extra minute of relaxation massage, can make a difference to a driver's performance out on the circuit.
At the end of the day, however, it is the sponsors' dollars that allow the high salaries top-level F1 drivers now earn and as Hamilton said: "What's important is that the sponsors are happy..."
The question is, what does make sponsors happy - winning a race or having a whole load of content and plenty of personal appearances?
There is certainly a place for good content and engaging sponsor events, as shown by the high video viewing figures and large event attendances produced by some of these activation ideas - but Hamilton is right, the increasing demands for this cannot be allowed to get in the way of the primary job.

"Every day I learn a lot and have made progress on lot of things. The game is so much different here that it has taken time to adapt to this gamestyle. I have to get my confidence better. When you start to notice that your game is getting better, then you are heading for the right direction."
"When heading towards offensive zone, lot of the game is played near the boards. It's a lot of fighting on the boards. There's not much room in the offensive zone. You have to constantly keep your legs and puck moving, you can't just wait in the corner for someone to pass you so that you can make a play."
"I've had to change my offensive game quite a lot from what it was in Finland and Europe. In Finland, you'd get one gy to put pressure on you but you'd also have a lot more space. You had time to look around, here it's different. Still have a lot of work to do."
Maybe not the best translations but you'll get the point.
Thanks! Good read.

The Perfect Sermon, or
The Asclepius
1. But, on the other hand, [whereas] those things which only have the power of bringing forth by blending with another nature, are thus to be distinguished, this Space of Cosmos, with those that are in it, seems not to have been born, in that [the Cosmos] has in it undoubtedly all Nature's potency.
By "Space" I mean that in which are all things. For all these things could not have been had Space not been, to hold them all. Since for all things that there have been, must be provided Space.
For neither could the qualities nor quantities, nor the positions, nor [yet] the operations, be distinguished of those things which are no where.
2. So then the Cosmos, also, though not born, still has in it the births of all; in that, indeed, it doth afford for all of them most fecund wombs for their conception.
It, therefore, is the sum of [all that] quality of Matter which hath creative potency, although it hath not been [itself] created.
And, seeing that [this] quality of Matter is in its nature [simple] productiveness; so the same [source] produces bad as well [as good].

The Cougars won their seventh straight game. Canyon topples Marble Falls Hot-shooting Cougars run away with seventh straight victory By THOMAS GODLEY Sports Edita Any question of whether the Canyon Cougars are ready to defend their district title were answered Tuesday night at Cougar Den. Capping the non-district schedule with their seventh victory in a row — a 68-49 rout of the Marble Falls Mustangs (7-11) — the Cougars (12-7) are peaking at just the right time. The 28-4A campaign starts Friday at Bastrop. "This definitely gets us ready to go into district," Canyon coach Kenny Rotzler said. "We start off with a tough one in Bastrop, then we turn around and face another one in Smithson Valley. Those are two of the preseason favorites right there. We have to be ready." They made sure of it against Marble Falls. After falling behind 15-7 late in the first quarter, the Cougars went on a 12-0 run to take command of the game. Senior guard Hector Torres, who scored IO of his 13 points in the first half, sparked the rally by hitting a 3-pointer at the 0:50 mark. From that point it was all Canyon. Jimmy Keresztury, the game's leading scorer with 21 points, tallied 13 points in the second quarter as Canyon went on a 204 run and built a 35-19 lead. Taking advantage of the Mustangs' slow transition on defense, senior Ricky Boehle pushed the tempo with cross-court passes that led to several fastbreak buckets. Boehle finished with eight assists and eight steals. 'We needed this game as a momentum booster for Friday. It lets us know where we stand.' — Canyon forward Rocky Johnson Canyon led by as many as 22 points in the third quarter. Keresztury, 6-4, and Rocky Johnson, 6-3, controlled the inside as Canyon broke out to a 55-33 lead. "After the first quarter, we started picking up the defense and that got the offense rolling," said Johnson, who scored 12 points on five-of-seven shooting night from the field. 'We needed this game as a momentum booster for Friday. It lets us know where we stand." Currently Johnson and friends stand as the hottest team in the district. The Cougars have not lost since capturing the consolation match at the River City Classic in mid-December. Their offensive firepower is beginning resemble last season's scoring machine. Against the Mustangs, Canyon sank 26 of 50 shots and hit four of nine from 3-point land. The team team made nine of 16 attempts from the free throw line. Torres was 2 of 3 from the beyond toe arc. Keresztury led both teams with 17 rebounds. Possible sighting: Haley's return By DENNE H. FREEMAN AP Sports Writer IRVING, Texas (AP) — First toe San Francisco 49ers were upset. Then the Dallas Cowboys played their best game of the year. Now Charles Haley is coming back. Good news keeps following the Cowboys around in their quest for toe Super Bowl. The Cowboys may have defensive end Charles Haley back for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers to put some heat on the NFL's most prolific passer, Brett Favre. Haley, who had back surgery five weeks ago, flew to Los Angeles Monday and got an excellent report from Dr. Robert Watkins. Dallas trainer Kevin O'Neill said Haley had a "50-50 chance" of playing against the Packers. 'The report was very encouraging," O'Neill said. "We could see him (in the game) this weekend." Haley had the same kind of disc surgery performed on Joe Montana and Troy Aikman. However, it's tougher for a defensive lineman to return because of all the physical contact. "Charles will begin workout drills later in toe week but may not take part in practice," O'Neill said. "Of course, he could play without practicing. He did that in about four... games this year because he has had discomfort throughout toe season." Haley had IO 1/2 sacks and 33 pressures on the quarterback despite nursing back problems all season. "There's no question Charles would really help us," said Dallas coach Barry Switzer. "We could put him in on third down in the nickel package and it would produce a big boost for our pass rush." Haley's replacement, Shame Carver, had no sacks against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Cowboys' 30-11 win on Sunday that put Dallas in the NFL's final four for the fourth consecutive season. "It wouldn't surprise me to see Charles out there on Sunday," said Aikman. "I asked him about it on Sunday and he said he was going to give it a shot. I know he really wants to play." Reggie While, the NFL's career sacks leader, has never been this close to a Super Bowl, After the Packers dispatched the defending champion San Francisco 49ers Saturday with a convincing 27-17 decision. White took a seat next to coach Mike Holmgren on the charter flight home. White played 45 snaps after a 19-play stint a week earlier against Atlanta, and he wanted to thank Holmgren and tell his coach that he felt fine.

The Mid-Cities YSA includes squads from Seguin, New Braunfels, San Marco:;, Canyon Lake Bulverde.

Explore your interests, expand your world

Enroll in leisure and life skills classes in Continuing Education
What if you could have beautifully trimmed flowerbeds sprouting this spring that also produced nutritious food for your family?
What if you could make new friends (and learn a few new steps) while taking a swing dance class? Or learn Italian for your trip to Florence?
What if there were a place where you could do all of those activities and more? There is: the leisure and life skills classes offered at Johnson County Community College.
Claire Zimmermann, campus farm manager, has taught many gardening classes, including Edible Landscaping and Year-Round Produce. Would-be students itching to get outside can learn to grow food for themselves.
"We teach them that you can grow things year-round without a lot of cost," she said. Want to plant trees? Consider some fruit trees. Instead of ornamental plants, go for berry plants. "You can trade this non-functional plant with this (functional) plant," she said.
The 'fun' classes
Gardening is just one of the multiple topics offered by JCCC's Continuing Education program, a division of the college that is intent on educating life-long learners.
"There's a lot of opportunity to grow your interests, or use the skills you learn in class for your own enrichment," said Tim Frenzel, a program director for JCCC.
The college, located at College Boulevard and Quivira Road in Overland Park, offers classes like beekeeping, tap dancing and Italian for Travelers. These are just the beginning.
"We offer a broad spectrum of classes because we listen to our students," Frenzel said. "They're the classes you take for fun and enrichment. It's about learning something interesting and having fun while you're doing it."
Community is key
In a time when you can learn almost anything by doing a Google search or playing a YouTube video, what's the point of taking a class with a bunch of strangers?
Those strangers create a community of learners, Frenzel explained. "It's just more engaging to learn together," he said.
You'll also learn more of the "tips and tricks" from an actual instructor and your fellow students.
"For example, Yellowstone (National Park) has three entrances. Which one is the best one to use, based on when you'll be arriving? Our instructor for the class about traveling to Yellowstone can help you with that because he's been there many, many times," Frenzel said.
What to take
The JCCC Continuing Education Catalog has an expansive list of computer classes, career development classes and courses revolving around business.
But under the words "leisure" and "life skills" are these classes. (Topics following reflect only some, not all, of the topics offered):
- Arts and crafts (painting, knitting, jewelry making)
- Aviation (ground school)
- Dance (ballet, West Coast Swing, tap)
- Foreign language (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Spanish)
- House and Garden (beekeeping, gardening)
- Lifestyle (astrology, numerology)
- Music (guitar, piano, chorus)
- Photography (camera basics, nature photography, sports photography)
- Sports and Recreation (fencing, golf)
- Travel (trip planning)
Life skills
- Driver's education and motorcycle training
- Personal finance (investing, home buying, Social Security)
- Sign language
- Writing Center (composing, proofreading, research)
Rates for the classes above vary, so check the JCCC Continuing Education Catalog to weigh your options.
Once you've decided upon your fall schedule, you may register for classes online, over the phone, by mail or in person.
There's so much more to learn, because leisure and life skills classes offered at JCCC don't just teach you new skills: they expand your world.

Later that evening, just as we were contemplating going to bed, there was a knock on the hull and to our surprise and delight, it was a couple that we last met in 2011 but before I go any further, let me recap a little.
When we were leaving Nyk�bing, we were hailed enthusiastically by a couple on a passing boat, they were waving their hands and calling our names. They also said 'you ...

Today we would be dicing with the weather. We wanted to see as much as we could of the island but the trouble was, periods of heavy rain were promised, culminating in a prolonged session later in the day but Wednesday and beyond, things are supposed to improve. I was awake at some stupid hour and by 06:00 decided to get up. At this time it looked like they'd got it wrong again in that it was sunny, or at least it would be when the sun got going and the ...

There will be a lot of NBC late-night lasts and highs over the next few days as Jay Leno wraps his second and likely final turn on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Fallon prepares to succeed him. Last night was the final Friday edition of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, which bows out February 6, with both Tonight and Late Night posting big ratings. Despite lower viewership levels on Friday, Tonight Show scored a 3.9 in metered-market households, a season high and its best result in 15 months; since Wednesday, October 24, 2012 when President Obama was a guest (4.0). It was the highest Friday Tonight rating since July 27, 2012, the night of the London Olympics Opening Ceremony (4.0). Leno boosted his successor, with Late Night With Jimmy Fallon logging a 2.2 in households, the show's highest rating for any night of the week in four years, since February 12, 2010, the night of the Vancouver Olympics Opening Ceremony (2.5).
'Tonight Show With Jay Leno' & 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' Hit Highs On Leno's Final Friday
40 Comments
Bye bye Leno. The show just got funnier.
Yeah but Funnier doesnt pay the bills, Ratings do. NBC will poke the ad clients for more $$ for these higher ratings then watch them have to give makegoods come spring time when Fallon's "Tonight" ratings dive from the levels Jay leave behind.
well stated.
For part of the last week, Craig Ferguson was in reruns due to his illness. Some people probably switched over to Fallon. He was back Thurs and Fri. I doubt that all of his audience kept checking to see if he had new eps those days so his whole week is gonna be down a bit. Not everybody watching Fallon is a Jay holdover.
Actually he was in reruns because he had a planned trip for standup in Canada, which he had to cancel because of his illness. Considering he did the show sick for three weeks I doubt he would suddenly cancel any shows. Probably just a planned break which they kept when Ferguson cancelled his trip. Your point is still taken, but I doubt it had that much of an impact on Fallon's ratings.
We need as much Fallon as we can get he's ratings gold! Starting today I want the following changes implemented effective immediately! We are going to get as much mileage from this guy as we possibly can while he's still fresh and hot!
The Sochi Winter Olympics Starring Jimmy Fallon
NBC's Nightly News Starring Jimmy Fallon
The Today Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Meet The Press Starring Jimmy Fallon
Saturday Night Live Starring Jimmy Fallon
And so on and so forth. Every single network show must add Jimmy Fallon to the title. We don't know how long his heat will last so we have to use him as much as we can.
Jimmy is clearly very talented. All of his guests say how he is such a good guy. Therefore, I think he deserves and will do well on the tonight show. Congrats Jimmy!
Who and why they push for this guy Fallon, I probably will never understand, But I feel if it is just someone the NBC people want to replace Leno with, it should be SETH MEYERS, please o please please please. I really do not want to be stuck with this Fallon guy for what I suspect might be the next two decades. Thank you, sam
Every newer host since O'Brien has come direct from SNL EP Lorne Michaels. Either this guy has minority ownership of NBC, some major crap on NBC brass or just one hell of a show runner and contract negotionator when it comes to producing. Wonder how long it will take Lorne to get Later away from Carson Daly to give Keenan Thompson etc a late night show?
I was inclined to post my very similar perspective on this epic hand-off but I'd rather just play off of yours. Seth Myers carries himself so well, uniquely hilarious and profossional. He would have conquered news/television/comedy as The Tonight Show host or as successor to Lorne Michaels on SNL. My only opposition is that Jimmy Fallon really surprised me when he became a kick-ass Late Night host. I'm sure he'll do great on Tonight as well.
I am so happy for Jimmy Fallon. I remember the very first night I saw Jimmy on Late Night…… The next day I told my best friend "Jimmy was amazing! He was warm, he was charming He will be the next Johny Carson" I must be a fortune teller. I've been a fan of Jimmys since SNL. HE has it all. i hope the Roots are going with him. They're so talented. That was the other comment to my friend "and his band is incredible!". I loved Johnny Carson, I love Jay Leno and if Jay needs to leave…… I love Jimmy in that spot!!!:))))"
I hear people compare Fallon to Carson a lot.
I'm not sure why they are looking for the next Carson (No disrespect) when the age group they are trying to target most likely doesn't even remember him. Or even watched him regularly.
He retired over 20 years ago… so anyone not in their mid to late 30's probably never saw him.
I can see NBC wanting to grab the younger demographic but I don't see them tuning in because Fallon reminds them of Carson.
P.S. I like Jimmy Fallon as well. :) And Leno ;)
Fallon will do fine, but i hate the 11:30 New York. Tonight Show has to be LA. LA is now cooler than NY. NYC used to be the "cool" city. Now Manhattan is run a muck with a bunch of hipster mellinials.I think the Roots are the last remaing black folk in Manhattan. I see people jumping to Kimmel. Fallon is good but NBC should move show to West coast.
Being older and having talked to jay as several times over the years sunday at the rock store I resent him being replaced by a younger guy. jay has led the ratings for quite some time makes no sense to me I'm a letterman fan anyway.
Jay is irrelevant. Nbc has been dying to get rid of jay for 10 years. He gets ratings, old people ratings. They want young sponsors. Why has Conan survived on cable late night with just ok ratings? Cause he has the lowest avg aged viewer, gets crazy hits on his website, and thats worht alota $$.
When Jimmy takes over Tonight Show ratings will take a hit cause all the old people will got to Letterman, and Kimmel is growing and growing, but when Letterman retires in a year Jimmy Fallon will be ok
Years from now,people will speak of this Jimmy Fallon/Tonight Show disaster.The Conan/Leno mess was only a rehearsal for what will be an even worse failure this time around.Can anyone really see Jimmy Fallon still at the Tonight Show helm in 10-20 years-anyone?
I agree Johnny was the fav. it's just sickening that people get old.
I think it was a planned break because the Thursday show was "new" but filmed on January 9.
As if NBC doesn't have enough problems already with their primetime lineup, wait until this new late night lineup takes fold, as they're going to wish they never made these moves and if this entire latenight offering tanks in the ratings, you can expect a lot of heads to roll at NBC Universal, starting with Telegdy and a few more under his wing. These are very risky moves and why tinker with the #1 spot to begin with? Fallon is awful at what he does as he tries way too hard to be funny and Myers is a novice coming over from SNL which doesn't automatically guarantee success. But with a network as desperate as NBC is right now, they're wiling to try anything that sticks and that's just asking for a brusin. The one factor they have going for them right now is the Olympics are coming up, which guarantees them a sweeps victory for the month.
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno was the Best!! Yes Jimmy Fallon is funny and talented but his antics won't fly on the Tonight Show. I love you Jay Leno and will miss you terribly!
It's too bad they didn't offer "The Tonight Show" to Mike Meyers.
Now, that's a showman who is worth watching and could bring in viewers.
So Conan works 16 years on Late Night, Jay Leno's ratings are good, Jay recieves word in 2004 NBC wants Conan to take over, Conan gets TTS in 2009 lasts 6 months, NBC lets Leno hang around with the Jay Leno show, it bombs and they want to move it to TTS slot. Conan objects, he's out and Jays back in, Fallon replaces Conan in 2009 and does Late Night for around 5 years and NBC decides to tell Jay in 2013 to really hit the road for good they like Fallon because he dances with Timberlake and is in touch with social media so that qualifys him for TTS. NBC is a mess.
There won't be any "highs" after Fallon takes the show over.
Jimmy Fallon is an incredibly talented entertainer who is a great guy,
loves people and is great to his fans. The Roots, writers & Steve Higgins are all going with him to the Tonight Show. So excited for him! The Tonight Show will be better than ever!
Fallon will be gone by Thanksgiving or Christmas. He will start with high numbers from the Olympics and then it will be a steady decline and by September panic and desperation will be rampant within 30 Rock.
By October the media drumbeat will turn into a constant refrain and NBC will be sending up trial balloons with the names of new hosts who can replace Fallon. There is no way NBC will be happy with a 3rd place Tonight Show and that's where he's going to take them.
One year from now the Tonight Show will have a new host the only question is who it will be. Tina Fey could end up with the job if she wants it. There will be a dozen other names in play and Bob Greenblatt will have to choose a new host.
Lorne Michaels will no longer have any input but he will remain at SNL and with the Seth Meyers Late Night Show. Fallon will go to Comedy Central or HBO and Leno will be on CNN in place of Piers Morgan.
All plausible scenarios but I believe Fallon will do well. Hate to see Jay go, but it is time. Five years from he could be gone. We'll see. Let's hope Fallon starts on track (not off track like the Broncos).
Valentine's Day,The Olympic Games on NBC,Jimmy Fallon as host of The Tonight Show."Name three things that won't make it past February"
Jimmy Fallon just isn't my preference because he tries too hard to be funny. It would be like Chris Farley taking over the tonight show. Carson, Leno, Letterman, Kimmel all have a relaxed natural comedy and hosting skill which is good for late night. Even Conan with his spastic behavior had something endearing about his hosting but Fallen is Saturday Night Live funny but forced. If the tonight show wants to appeal to a younger audience that's good but who is the audience now and does NBC want to keep them?
STILL —–haven't HURLED? —-that SET? — – – -YET ?
I don't get why anyone finds Jimmy Fallon funny. I watched him on Late Night at first and it grew old fast, didn't watch him much at all since, I doubt he will change much (some new skits, longer opening monologue). They should have stuck with Conan but I hear he was cheaper than Jay to buy out (42 mill vs 100 mill). NBC obviously wants Leno outta there now but Fallon's rating will be ok for 2 weeks and drop off badly. Big mistake not giving Conan the support they are giving Fallon now.
Oh dear god 20 years or more coming of Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, go help us all.
Until Leno takes it back, should take about 6 months not 20 years lol. Fallon won't be doing tonight show for 20 years!!!! he isn't funny and his ratings will not impress the NBC brass. They will give him more time than Conan, I'd say about 3 or 5 years before another shakeup happens.
Wow stupid to compare this Fallon hack to Johnny Carson, no one can hold a candle to him still. No one, Fallon is to dumb to ever be better than Carson he sucks at interviewing to, Carson was amazing at that.
Colleen. You are sick. You and I both know Higgins needs to put back on the Grimace outfit and start doing MCDonalds parties again.
fallon – like conan – just too childish. don't think he'll fit the bill – leno had the right balance for demographic – which isn't the kids. hope they bring leno back and don't understand why they're so quick to shove him out the door …..

This paper presents a novel application of operations research, data mining and geographic information-systems-based analytics to support decision making in blood supply chain management. This, blood reserve availability assessment, tracking, and management system (BRAMS), research project has been funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. (This DoD funded SBIR project is performed by the researchers at Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI).) The rapidly increasing demand, criticality of the product, strict storage and handling requirements, and the vastness of the theater of operations, make blood supply-chain management a complex, yet vital problem for the department of defense. In order to address this problem a variety of contemporary analytic techniques are used to analyze inventory and consumption patterns, evaluate supply chain status, monitor performance metrics at different levels of granularity, and detect potential problems and opportunities for improvement. The current implementation of the system is being actively used by 130 mangers at different levels in the supply chain including facilities at Osan Air Force Base in South Korea and Incirlik Air Force Base in Turkey.

Hi Stellafurino, You can find out the latest statistics for any area in England and Wales just by having a look at the website I have posted a link to below and searching for a postcode or an area. I have done so for your region of England and the results are below. During the last two calendar years, the crime rate in the area has stayed largely stable, with only a slight fall. It does, however, sit below the national average. Throughout the month of April this year - the last for which figures are available - there were 53 crimes reported with 35 outcomes being reached. Compared to other areas of a similar size across England, Ashford has a very average crime rate. It is higher than the mean level across Surrey as a whole, though. Many thanks, Scott

Approval Status
Approved March 2001
Treatment for
Glaucoma or ocular hypertension
Lumigan has been approved by the FDA for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are intolerant of or insufficiently responsive to other IOP-lowering medications. Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Lumigan, is a synthetic prostamide analog - it acts by mimicking the effects of prostamides, which are naturally occurring substances. It is believed to lower intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of fluid (known as aqueous humor) produced by the eye.
There are approximately two to three million individuals in the United States with glaucoma, a condition often associated with elevated intraocular pressure leading to optic nerve damage. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness for which there is currently no cure; however, recent opinion suggests that achieving a low level of IOP may slow the progression of the disease.
Phase III trial results demonstrated that 64% of subjects receiving Lumigan once daily achieved target IOP of less than or equal to 17 mm Hg, whereas 37% of subjects receiving timolol twice daily, a leading drug used to lower IOP, achieved the same target pressure. At six months, Lumigan produced a 33% reduction in IOP compared to 23% with timolol (8.1 mm Hg vs. 5.6 mm Hg, respectively).
In clinical trials, adverse events occurring in approximately 15% to 45% of subjects included (but are not limited to) the following:
Events occurring in approximately 3 to 10% of subjects included those listed below:
Bimatoprost is a prostamide, a synthetic structural analog of prostaglandin with ocular hypotensive activity. It selectively mimics the effects of naturally occurring substances called prostamides. Bimatoprost is believed to lower IOP in humans by increasing outflow of aqueous humor through both the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral routes. Elevated IOP presents a major risk factor for glaucomatous field loss. The higher the level of IOP, the greater the likelihood of optic nerve damage and visual field loss. (from Lumigan Label)

Ben Spies Undergoes Successful Surgery On Injured Shoulder
"Tuesday evening, October 23, at the National Surgery Center, in Los Gatos, California.
In addition to repairing the shoulder separation, which Spies suffered in a crash during the wet Malaysian Grand Prix on October 21, surgeon Dr. Maury Harwood removed surgical hardware from Spies clavicle.
Normal recovery time from an AC shoulder separation is eight to 12 weeks, according to experts.
Spies team announced October 22 that the injury would definitely rule him out of this coming weekends Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island and that the team would not field a replacement rider.
It is unknown whether Spies will try to ride in the 2012 MotoGP World Championship finale November 9-11 at Valencia, but discussions within Yamaha are already considering possible replacement riders, including three-time AMA Superbike Champion Josh Hayes, according to knowledgeable sources.
Hayes was pulled into service at the last minute to replace Monster Yamaha Tech 3s injured Colin Edwards during last years MotoGP race at Valencia. In spite of it being his first time on the track, on Bridgestone tires and on a MotoGP bike, Hayes finished an impressive seventh in the rain-affected race."

No champion enjoys losing but Federer was determined not to get upset by this one or by the fact that, unlike Murray and Djokovic, he will be playing three consecutive days while they have had a day off. "No, no problems," he said when asked about his physical condition. "I'm not worried. It's important to move on right now. Obviously I'm excited to be in the semis and hopefully play a good match."

Virginia Tech 17 Boston College 7
Al Clark threw a 50-yard touchdown pass and scored on a 42-yard run as Virginia Tech beat Boston College, 17-7, yesterday in Blacksburg.
Ken Oxendine had a career-high 33 carries for 122 yards as the Hokies (5-1, 4-0 Big East) gained 257 yards on the ground, almost exclusively between the tackles.
Boston College (2-4, 2-2) had a chance to pull within a touchdown with 3 minutes 23 seconds remaining after Matt Hasselbeck hit Mike Cloud with a 60-yard pass, but Jason Maleki's 32-yard field-goal attempt was wide left.
The Hokies, who are No. 23 in the Associated Press poll and No. 25 in the New York Times computer ranking, led by 10-7 at halftime, and neither team generated much offense in the third quarter. Clark was sacked three times on two straight series by the Eagles' Chris Hovan.Continue reading the main story
A 24-yard punt by Maleki early in the fourth quarter gave the Hokies the ball at their own 46. Five plays later, Clark eluded Hovan's attempt for a fourth sack and ran 42 yards for the score.
Clark completed 7 of 12 passes for 125 yards and gained 46 yards on 10 carries. Hasselbeck was 10 for 24 for 153 yards and 1 interception.
The Eagles' score in the first period was set up by a turnover, when Tech's Keion Carpenter fumbled at the Boston College 35 after a 20-yard interception return. Seven plays later, Mike Hemmert scored on 1-yard run. The key to the drive was a 25-yard pass from Hasselbeck to Dennis Harding that put the ball on the Tech 24.
The Hokies tied the score early in the second period when Clark hit Angelo Harrison for the 50-yarder on a play-action pass to cap a nine-play, 97-yard drive. On its next series, Virginia Tech drove 64 yards on 11 plays before Shayne Graham hit a 20-yard field goal with 5:41 left in the half.
Against the league's top rushing defense (98.8 yards a game), the Eagles managed 128 yards and 276 yards in total offense.
W. Virginia 31, Maryland 14
Amos Zereoue ran for 145 yards and a touchdown and Marc Bulger threw for two touchdowns as West Virginia rolled over Maryland at College Park.
Zereoue scored West Virginia's first touchdown on a 16-yard draw play with one minute left in the first quarter. The 5-foot-10-inch, 200-pound sophomore broke to the left sideline and scored untouched.
The Mountaineers (7-1) made it 14-0 on the second play of the second quarter when Barrett Green returned a pass interception 49 yards for a score. Bulger threw touchdown passes of 8 yards to Shawn Foreman in the third quarter and 6 yards to Jerry Porter in the fourth.
Maryland (2-4) got a lift toward its first score when a personal foul against West Virginia linebacker Chris Edmunds gave the Terrapins a first down at the Mountaineers' 41 with 5:45 left in the half. Maryland scored in eight plays, on Buddy Rogers's 2-yard run.
Villanova 49, UMass 27
Chris Boden threw five touchdown passes in the first half and Brian and Brad Finneran each had two touchdown catches to lead unbeaten Villanova (5-0, 4-0 Atlantic 10) to a rout of visiting Massachusetts (1-5, 1-5).
With a 39-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, Brian Finneran became the first wideout in Villanova history with 3,000 receiving yards. He finished with 6 receptions for 83 yards.
Villanova has outscored its first five opponents by 231-70.
Hofstra 33, New Hampshire 14
Giovanni Carmazzi threw for 335 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead visiting Hofstra past New Hampshire.
Carmazzi threw two scoring passes to Wayne Yearwood and one to Bryan Kish, and Dave Ettinger kicked one of his two field goals to give Hofstra (4-2) a 23-0 lead early in the second half.
New Hampshire (2-4) came back on a 50-yard pass from Matt Cassano to Jermaine Washington and a 3-yard run by Jerry Azumah to close to within 23-14 with 2:10 left in the third quarter. But that was as close as the Wildcats could get.
Rhode Island 20, Boston U. 17
Matt Walker broke out of a kicking slump with two field goals, including a 29-yard strike with 1:36 remaining, as Rhode Island (2-4, 2-2 Atlantic 10) came back from a 17-point deficit to beat host Boston University (0-5, 0-3).
Walker, who had gone eight games without a field goal, ended the drought with a 21-yard kick to put Rhode Island on the board late in the first half before connecting on the game-winner.
Colgate 44, Lafayette 6
Daymon Smith ran for three touchdowns in the first half as Colgate rolled up 496 yards of total offense in walloping Lafayette at Easton, Pa.
The Red Raiders (4-1, 3-0 Patriot League) scored on their first five possessions, starting with an 18-yard rush by running back Ed Weiss just 1:21 into the game.
Lafayette (1-5, 0-3) got its only score on a 4-yard run by fullback Tom Williams with 9:19 remaining.
Duquesne 28, Fairfield 23
Dave Loya completed 12 of 21 passes for 173 yards and 2 touchdowns, leading Duquesne to a narrow victory over host Fairfield.
Duquesne (4-1, 3-0) took the lead for good in the first quarter when Loya hit Joe Rosato with a 19-yard touchdown pass with 8:30 remaining, capping an eight-play drive.
Fairfield (3-2, 0-2) rallied to within 21-16 on a nine-play, 91-yard scoring drive that culminated in the sophomore Jim Lopusznick's 5-yard scoring pass to Joe Milligan. But Lopusznick misfired later on three straight passes, forcing the Stags to punt with under two minutes remaining.Continue reading the main story

Get the Morecambe newsletter
Sat 13 Aug 11
Morecambe picked up their first league win of the new season with a fine performance at Edgar Street.
Two goals in the last eight minutes of the opening period saw Jim Bentley's side in a strong position at half time.
Danny Carlton gave the Shrimps the lead on 37 minutes with a stunning right foot strike. Carlton took the ball just outside the area and smashed an effort that flew past the diving Adam Bartlett.
Jevons then doubled the advantage on the stroke of half time with an excellent free kick from the edge of the area that beat the wall and flew into the bottom left hand corner of Barltett's goal.
Stewart Drummond added a third on 64 minutes when he smaashed home the loose ball after a Laurence Wilson corner was headed back across goal by Gary McDonald and only half cleared by the home defence.
Morecambe started superbly and were almost ahead in the first minute of the game. Phil Jevons crossed from the right and the ball hit the back of a Hereford defender and on to the left hand post with Adam Bartlett beaten.
Three minutes later Danny Carlton went close with a 30 yard effort that forced the home keeper into a decent save to tip the ball over the bar.
Hereford came back with Barry Roche having to make a neat save from Rob Purdie after a dangerous Joe Heath cross just evaded Joe Colbeck at the far post.

That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.

Deal reached to provide most tax filers refunds of $600 to $1,200…National Association of Realtors says sales of previously-owned homes fell again in December…Terrorism's effect on global economy discussed at World Economic Forum in Switzerland…
President Bush is praising a bipartisan economic stimulus package that will give most tax filers refunds of $600 to $1,200. Some will get more if they have children. The president says the deal "has the right set of policies and is the right size." According to a Democratic survey, the rebates will go to 117 million families. An analysis by Congress' joint tax committee says more than 70 percent of the rebates will go to individuals who pay taxes. Rebates would go to people earning below a certain income cap. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Congress will act on the agreement quickly so that rebate checks can be put in the mail. Aides say the rebates, expected to go out in June, will cost about $100 billion. The deal comes after intense negotiations between Pelosi, Republican Leader John Boehner and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. A Senate panel has scheduled a meeting for next week to discuss the economic stimulus package. Montana Democratic Senator Max Baucus says he and the Senate Finance Committee's senior Republican have agreed to work quickly and mark up economic stimulus legislation next week.
Congress is continuing efforts to get help for struggling homeowners into the economic stimulus package being hammered out by Congress. Democratic Congressman Barney Frank says White House and Democratic negotiators are near agreement on an overhaul of the Federal Housing Administration. If successful, that would make it easier for homeowners with ballooning interest rates to refinance into federally insured loans. Also in the works is a one-year expansion of the maximum value of mortgages that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can buy and bundle to sell to investors. That would apply only to mortgages in regions where housing prices are highest, such as in California and cities in the northeast. Republicans are resisting expanding the role of Fannie and Freddie without stronger government oversight. The companies are recovering from accounting scandals of a few years ago and recently reported steep losses on mortgage-related investments.
A real estate group says sales of previously-owned homes fell again in December, capping a year when sales fell by the largest amount in 25 years. In addition, the National Association of Realtors says median home prices dropped over the course of the year for the first time in decades. For the entire year, home sales dropped 13 percent, the biggest decline since 1982. The median price for a single-family home dropped 1.8 percent to $217,000. That is the first annual price decline on records dating back to 1968. Realtors' Chief Economist Lawrence Yun says it is likely that the nation hasn't seen such a decline since the great depression of the 1930s. The group says sales of single-family homes and condos fell 2.2 percent in December to a rate of nearly 4.9 million.
Terrorism and its effect on the global economy are being discussed at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, with leaders from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq weighing in on the subject. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said illiteracy and poverty are a breeding ground for terrorism. He pledged to battle the "scourge" of radicalism in regions bordering Afghanistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai told the group that the whole world could suffer from the "wildfire" of terrorism engulfing his region. Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister says his country will need U.S. help for "some time to come" to act against "regional predators." Former Vice President Al Gore and U2 singer Bono praised efforts to tackle climate change and global poverty. But the two warned that conditions aren't improving as much as they could. And the head of Royal Dutch Shell says at the World Forum that conditions must improve before the company could resume production that was cut because of unrest in Nigeria.
A federal judge in Houston has delayed next week's retrial of two former Merrill Lynch executives–who want the case dismissed. Their 2004 fraud and conspiracy convictions connected to an Enron deal were overturned. Jury selection was set for Monday in the retrial of Daniel Bayly and Robert S. Furst. But the judge delayed the trial after Bayly, Furst and a third executive set for retrial later filed an appeal with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The three were convicted of conspiracy and wire fraud for helping push through Enron's sham sale of power barges off Nigeria. The deal was struck to bolster the earnings of Enron's energy division. The 5th Circuit in 2006 threw out their convictions after finding fault with the government's erroneous fraud theory known as "honest services."
The head of Lone Star Funds left South Korea after extensive grilling by South Korean prosecutors over Lone Star's activities in the country. Lone Star Chairman John Grayken says South Korea's supreme prosecutors' office questioned him for ten days. The subject was his Dallas-based private equity firm's 2003 purchase of Korea Exchange Bank and the acquisition a short time later of KEB's credit card unit. Grayken voluntarily came to South Korea on January 9th to testify in the trial of Lone Star's South Korean chief for alleged stock price manipulation. Two days later, Grayken told reporters that prosecutors had barred him from leaving the country. Prosecutors at the time would only say they wanted to question him. They said last night that they plan to question Grayken further at an unspecified time. Lone Star has come under intense scrutiny in South Korea over its business activities amid local unease over the role of foreign investors in the economy.

How to Identify Insect Cocoons and Habitats

Praying Mantis Egg Sack
This praying mantis egg sack is two good signs in one. First, these helpful predators have been active in your yard already. Also, you have a great chance of getting their help again in the coming season when the babies emerge.
Black Swallowtail Butterfly
Butterflies may help a little with pollination, but the greatest benefit of their presence is the color and movement they bring to the garden. See its recently vacated chrysalis to the right?
A Chrysalis Incubating a Butterfly-to-Be
The difference between a chrysalis and a cocoon? Butterflies emerge from a chrysalis, which is made of hardened protein. Many moths come out of cocoons, which are spun from silk.
Fall Webworms
Two commmon types of caterpillars make silk "tents" in trees and/or shrubs. The eastern tent caterpillar camps out in the crotches of trees and shrubs in spring. Fall webworms pitch their tents over branch tips or small clusters of branches in fall.
Spider Web
Garden spiders are notorious for their broad webs that are especially ornate when morning dew has condensed on the strands. These webs are a welcome site, as a sign that another critter is on the gardener's team. Garden spiders gobble up thousands of potentially harmful insects in their lifetime including flies, mosquitos and aphids.
Spider Mites
This web is not a welcome site. Spider mites thrive on the juices of your precious garden plants. Not all bug killers are created equal. If you detect a spider mite infestation, use a miticide that specifically targets these pests.
Squash Vine Borers
Squash vine borers chew their way through the leaves and stems of summer and winter squash. Look for wilted leaves with mushy stems as the major indicators. Weekly dusting with diatomaceous earth will help deter borers. If squash vine borers are already present, remove and destroy severely damaged plants.
Hoverfly Larvae
Not all worms are bad. These babies gobble up hundreds of aphids during this phase of their life.
Tomato Hornworm
Finding holes in leaves and missing leaves? You likely have a tomato hornworm at work. These large green worms can gobble a mature tomato plant almost overnight. The worms hide under leaves during the daytime. Get rid of them by visiting your tomato patch at night, when they come out to feed. Knock worms into a container of soapy water. If you see a worm with white tic tac-looking things sticking out of it, leave it alone. It's been attacked by a parasitic wasp, and it's on a death march. You want those white eggs to hatch and release more wasps into your tomato patch.
Parasitic Wasp Cocoons on Hornworm
When pests arrive, like this hornworm, their predators are soon to follow. The braconid wasp lays its eggs inside the body of the hornworm. When the eggs hatch, the larvae feed on its muscle tissue. About a week later, they pierce its skin to spin their cocoons externally.
Bald-Face Hornet Nest
A hornet's nest is an amazing creation, although not always welcome in the garden. We found this one in an out of the way location. Leaving these nests alone may prove beneficial as the inhabitants feed on yellow jackets and other unwanted insects.
Honeybees would be a welcome discovery for many of us. Swarm season begins in spring when strong hives have a natural tendency to divide their efforts. This can result in feral hives located in all sorts of unexpected cavities from hollow trees to hollow walls.
Watch Out for Fire Ant Mounds
Aggressive, stinging fire ants can quickly take over a landscape. Treat new mounds with granular or liquid insecticides soon while they are still small.
Holes in Tomatoes
Small holes in tomatoes are usually caused by slugs. The problem is, once slugs open a hole, the tomato weeps juice, and soon other critters join the party, like pill bugs, fruit flies and wasps. The wound in the fruit also invites early decay and mold. Slugs attack low-hanging fruit first, but they also slime their way up tomato vines and supports. Research slug treatments and adopt several strategies to deal with them. When tomato season is done, before frost, continue to use slug treatments to kill adult slugs before they lay eggs.
Leaf Roller on Canna
It is not often that a bug is named after the damage it does. Leaf roller does just as its name specifies and is quite common on broadleaved plants like canna, making them look like straws or cigars. Leaf rollers may be controlled with Bt, a caterpillar-killing organic pesticide, or by applying a systemic insecticide as a foliar spray. Because leaf rollers produce several generations during the growing season, plan for retreatment as needed.
Baby Owl
Bugs offer opportunities for other creatures as well. Woodpeckers may excavate caverns as they hunt for insects that feed on trees. Later other animals use the excavated holes for their own purposes. Even the problem bugs for plant lovers are beneficial to someone.

Market and Thought: Meditations on the Political and Biopolitical
€ 33,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Dezember 2004
BeschreibungIn this ambitious book, Brett Levinson explores the possibilities for a genuinely radical critique of globalized culture and politics -- at a time when intellectuals and nonintellectuals alike struggle to understand the configuration of the contemporary world. Levinson seeks to unsettle a naturalized and commonsensical assumption: that democracy and the economic market must be viewed as either united or at odds. Against both neoliberalists and cultural pluralists, he argues that the state is not yielding to the market, but that the universe now turns on a "duopoly" between statist and global forms, one that generates not only economic and cultural sites but also ways of knowing, a postdemocratic episteme. Touching upon current issues such as terrorism, human rights, the attack on the World Trade Center, and the notion of the "people," delving into the idea of biopolitics, and investigating the essential relation between language and political praxis, Levinson engages with the work of Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Rancihre, Etienne Balibar, Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Michel Foucault, and others. Levinson offers no solutions, but his work will be an important voice for readers looking for conceptual tools to grasp what political and intellectual possibilities might exist in the postcommunist world and how this world has come to be shaped in our time.
PortraitBrett Levinson is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Binghamton University. He is the author of The Ends of Literature: The Latin American "Boom" in the Neoliberal Marketplace and Secondary Moderns: Mimesis, History, and Revolution in Lezama Lima's "American Expression."

Dauntless- Raiden
"Keep yourself together, Chase! You wouldn't want to fail initiation," I yell as he leaps off the train and falls face-forwards into a puddle of mud.
He gets up, sputtering and laughing. "Speak for yourself, Raiden," he says, flicking mud into my dark red hair just as I slip in a particularly large puddle. He grabs my arm just before I fall.
"I didn't need help," I hiss. Dauntless aren't supposed to need help from anybody. I slam the front door of our school open.
"Aw, 'Den, nobody cares. You are a girl," he jokes.
"We're just in time for the faction tests," I reply, ignoring his statement.
"What do you think you'll get?" He pokes me. Annoyed, I turn around and glare at him as he brushes his mud-soaked black hair out of his face and grins.
"I don't know and I'm not allowed to tell you anyway," I say through gritted teeth. It's true, anyway. You aren't supposed to share your test results with anybody. I assume it's so they can't bully you into choosing your own faction, but it's not like they don't do that anyway.
"Right.. I bet I'll get Dauntless."
"Sure you will. So will I. So will most of the Dauntless." I plop down in a metal folding chair, wincing slightly as the cold steel stings the skin exposed through rips in my jeans. For a while, everyone sits in silence, watching test administers, mostly Erudites, call their students. Occasionally there's an Abnegation or Candor, because you're not supposed to have an administer from the same faction as your own.
I watch languidly as an Amity happily calls a Stiff named Eli into the testing room. Only a few seconds later an Erudite appears, pushing her nerdy glasses up her nose.
"Raiden Vignaux?"
I stand and look straight at her.
"Come with me."
Chase gives me an encouraging smile. I follow the woman without a second glance.

Fresh revelations about George Galloway: beneath the hard-boiled public front, a rare confession of vulnerability. This probably unprecedented event took place just before nine o'clock last Thursday morning, as the left-wing MP paced up and down a London pavement, smoking one of his Havana cigars. He never smokes before nine. But now he needed everything to steady his nerve as he waited for his lawyers to arrive at their office. What they said in the next few minutes would make or break him.
'I was very anxious on that doorstep,' he said in his first newspaper interview since the momentous events of last week. 'It was more than a case of butterflies in the stomach.'
The tension between victory and defeat had assumed Shakespearean dimensions. If Galloway, 50, won his libel case against the Daily Telegraph, his name would be cleared and he would pocket a fortune in damages. If he lost, 'you'd be speaking to me today about to be homeless, penniless, jobless and bankrupt'.
As soon as his lawyers opened the door, he could see by the expression on their faces that he had won. Judge Justice Eady, who presided over last month's libel trial, had ruled the allegations that Galloway was in the secret pay of Saddam Hussein were 'seriously defamatory'. The Telegraph's reports had been based on documents found in the Iraqi foreign ministry in Baghdad and its editorial used the word 'treason', describing Galloway as 'Saddam's little helper'.
Galloway contended the documents were forgeries. During the four-day hearing at the High Court the Telegraph had argued that while it could not prove the papers were genuine, it was in the public interest to publish them. The judge decided otherwise. 'The defendants were not neutral. They did not merely adopt the allegations. They embraced them with relish and fervour,' he said.
The Telegraph was ordered to pay Galloway £150,000 damages in what he described as a 'judicial caning'. Legal costs for the paper will be more than £1.2 million.
For the MP for Glasgow Kelvin, who has enjoyed many sweet days in the libel courts, it was the sweetest of all, a long way from the abyss he stared into when he learned the story was about to break in April last year.
'I was in particularly inopportune circumstances at the top of a hill, with no road, in the Algarve, writing what was supposed to be the first draft of my book,' he recalled. 'I was entirely alone and I think I picked up a message from the House of Commons answer machine.
'I returned the call and there was what the judge described as a somewhat garbled account from this man [a Telegraph reporter], in which he put these allegations. I dealt with the questions but as I worked my way through them I could sense this was reasonably serious. But I had no idea they were going to print them the next day. I then got a call from someone who had been tipped off by, believe it or not, a left-wing person working at the Telegraph that there were five pages of the paper making a gigantic attack on me.
'I put out a press release then settled back to watch the review of the papers, because I have British TV there. I saw these lurid allegations and realised, I suppose for the first time, the sheer scale of the attack and I knew that they were politically life-threatening. That was just about as low as it's possible to get, and the first night was a very long dark night of the soul. I turned over and over in my mind all the possible reasons for this and it wasn't a pleasant experience. You begin to distrust everybody and you wonder who might be responsible for this.
'I only settled on my theory - that it was a parcel of deliberately concocted lies - two days later when I got a call from the Evening Standard to tell me the Christian Science Monitor had published on their front page an allegation of me taking $10m from Saddam Hussein in cash and cheques [a libel Galloway also fought and won]. For me this took the story partly out of tragedy into farce. I'm very well aware that many in the media and political class believed it, but I quickly became aware that the public didn't believe it, which was very consoling.'
Galloway, famed for his sharp suits and sharper turns of phrase, flew home and instructed his lawyers to sue for libel, 'even though I knew I would have to risk everything to do that. Our costs are £600,000 and the Telegraph's are more, so we are talking in excess of £1.2m, which I couldn't have begun to pay. They would have taken my house and everything I have and as a bankrupt I wouldn't have been able to hold public office so I would have been out of Parliament.
'But I know in my heart I have done nothing wrong and therefore have nothing to be ashamed of, even if I had ended up literally on the street. I didn't stop and think about that, which I know you'll find surprising. The only alternative was to leave my political life, which has been my whole life, as a defeated man. As I had done nothing wrong, I could not conceive of that.'
His wife, the Palestinian scientist Dr Amineh Abu-Zayyad, backed him all the way. 'It was never even discussed. Nobody close to me ever had any doubt this was a course of action I had to take, whatever the consequences.'
After the final court submissions, Galloway had to sweat on the result. 'The worst part was the 48 hours when my lawyers knew the result but made very clear that they were forbidden to tell me the result until one hour before the hearing. Somehow that spooked me a little. I began to fear they were deliberately not giving anything away, even by the tone of their voice, because somehow it had gone badly.
'I was supposed to turn up at the lawyers' office at nine o'clock on Thursday but I was there early waiting for it to open, and as soon as the door opened and I saw the faces of my lawyers, I knew that I had won. This was the most serious battle I have ever fought and the biggest victory. As I walked up Brick Lane on Thursday night with people pouring out of the doors of the restaurants, video shops and sweet stores to congratulate me in the street, it was as close to perfect as you're going to find this side of heaven.'
Galloway, who will stand for anti-war party Respect in Labour MP Oona King's Bethnal Green and Bow seat at the next election, insisted he is a champion of press freedom, which many in Fleet Street will find hard to stomach. He still faces a possible appeal by the Telegraph and an inquiry into the Iraq allegations by Sir Philip Mawer, the parliamentary commissioner for standards.
With the Telegraph appealing it may be some time before Galloway gets access to settlement. 'Alas, I don't have the money,' he said. 'I'm no more flush this Christmas than I was last but at least there's quite a bit coming my way, God willing.'
