Honest and on the National -- was standing on the top step cheering. Because the team owners some baseball -- Doctors after the game before the game during the game Ray Allen didn't clap for the whole eats. Well it was kind of awed me he was watching he looked enthralled and hopeless it's going crazy in the street rallies it's not just watching he didn't he I think he was taking at all and I think it was in -- of them like most of us Jirga.

Just as easy -- is as easy David spell that -- sure -- never quite. Mr. Aziz who's never written the word. SI never -- -- Tucker wrote that word before an. It does make me chuckle that the elected in there are certain liberals out there horse trying trying to circle the wagons around Rolling Stone and trying to. Explain it to understand it trying to excuse this in the inexcusable. And they say things like this is the -- on Abraham in the globe today. She defends it and can't get outraged over -- it doesn't make. Him anymore sympathetic figure. Well they sure do try that Avon if you read the store I assumed she didn't read it to Boston's it doesn't make him. It's 111000 how many words Kirk I was 111288. And and you make a great he made a great point 111200. Navy words none of which are Martin riches of the crystal Cameron who's -- -- -- name they matter not a Louise blue room on the right -- Lucy Lu -- is Lindsay Lou Lindsay. The names of the victims Jeff Bowman none of the victims' names are in the story. They don't even only 111000 word they don't waste or heard a Joker 900 different ways they refer to Martin Richards not at all it is. 111000 -- attempt to. Make this mass murderer sympathetic so she's absolutely. Not even tell you truth right -- you -- is that none of this none of what we witnessed yesterday or read last night. As has changed her. Disdain for this guy. She says it doesn't make him any more sympathetic -- -- that she's a much stronger person and I read this I feel sorry for well first of all if that's true evil on the and they failed because they pride. They try they devoted this at this issue to making more sympathetic -- -- she writes it doesn't tell us anything we don't already know. That's not true so I mean it's his first of all -- did -- here's a violation wrote a column front page of the Boston Globe without read the story clearly is if she did. She learned a lot of them I mean. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You learned a lot I mean it's nauseating it's sickening I -- -- talk show host in this town yesterday said I'm sort of stuff he says I didn't know until I read the Rolling Stone article. That he wrote stuff on the inside of the -- -- -- I swear to god. Somebody a talk show yes not some caller no halt almost. That was evidence hot it was in the it was statement was I don't care that he wrote this. On the side of the boat. They introduce part of the boat. As evidence of course are in -- -- as evidence. And confession and it'll be really cool the next day to pick up the paper or get from the -- rules announces. That's. No hold the newspaper -- extra extra extra read all about you buy one yet dubious sketch of the ball and on that chunk of that if he got a casino actually picture the evidence -- get c.'s sketch. Of the bloody words on the side of the ball if you're a prosecutor is there anything that you would lust after war. -- a written confession. Yet the hurt right now at a riding in the plot not -- -- -- -- is that. Talk about it -- don't have written and what that would lead me. We really should just go ahead to the penalty phase yet and selflessness and yes I mean it's skip reading it's like Bulger is and soreness I mean it's great drama for the you know. People who actually get a low number and get in the court to -- Billable hours billable to us and with the ones paying and of course of this bill that bulge his case and in Jesus case so you didn't learn the idea wrote. On the boat I don't analysts are edited sorry you don't have to live at its. He actually -- -- All of it and it was -- it was -- via affiliate. Columns. I find it amazing that out in -- one of the Boston Globe I mean their cheese drug defendants say you don't learn anything new. Did you go it would mean I think the thing was an absolute piece of garbage and absolute outrage to stewards were in the cover but. Mueller a lot. Lot super chill yeah it's super channel. I learned that -- harsh friends worry diverse group of kids from both the wealthier and horror sections of Cambridge. They were as one Cambridge parent told me the good kids the debate champs. The varsity athlete the student government types. A few -- -- who would go off to a New England colleges. -- diligent student. Joseph Hart talked about attending Brandeis. And tops. He was one of the realist dudes I ever met in my life said Sam who spent nearly every day which are edges. During your team. -- That's his friends that one Fred said the in made him that dude you can always just vibe -- As they come -- did not hide we're not I am in the complex exam. I don't know -- -- good dude -- with or vibe with or maybe I'm joking about with the -- with if I'm Biden was somebody. -- -- -- -- I tell people this all the time you know you're good -- vibe -- I don't think I used the words and no I was like this weekend on Saturday if you're gonna just chill and watch the British Open although I guess five what is in our public is good stuff is is to hang out. To vibe with. In -- now you're definitely not giving -- a good guess that would have always want to get onto the next thing idealist -- -- -- -- -- that -- Others just watch this for five or six hours I got a paper now -- on Saturday we gonna do it and might until all of Sunday summoned the that would definitely cannot since the suspect. He's not a got a vibe with -- malicious they saw it as smooth as Affleck has said that at the center. Is this pretty smooth -- like I do think. You your charge did he tell me when you wanna get to this might take might take my take away I -- hole. This I have this this story from the we didn't pay for we pretend that you could do that yes no no decent human being nobody -- Rawlings to pay for it and it. Obviously stores decent stores are gonna sell it but. You can print them out you can read it and if you think we're kidding if you think I'm being overly emotional. Give to give a read given a glance. It is more sickening more nauseating than the covers the -- assault element that cover photo is nauseating the story. Is an 111000. Word attempt to make you feel song yes. Historically DNC page of the odds are good idea DNC page check it out you -- -- -- to. Go to be Rolling Stone website on the DNC page check it out and if you don't wanna read all 111250. Words you fifty to -- a -- -- thousand to 58. Didn't have space for Martin Richardson -- and -- yet I can give you I can give you in a nutshell. The sense that they want to portray the feeling this one I -- expression the tone and tenor right 111000 words is asphalt. People in Cambridge spot of the nineteen year old Joseph cars -- the -- -- to veterans. As a beautiful. -- haired boy. With a gentle demeanor. Soulful brown -- And the kind of shot I laid back manner that made him to dude you can always just vibe where he had been the captain of the Cambridge -- -- wrestling team for two years. And a promising student he was also quote just a normal American kid as his friends described him who likes soccer hip pop. Girls upsets over the Walking Dead and the game of -- smoked copious amounts of -- Joseph -- had earned a scholarship. To the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. I was thinking about becoming an engineer a nurse or maybe a dentist his focus changed all the time. They were Muslim yes but you're also American especially -- became a naturalized citizen on September 11. 2012. -- a deeply fractured boy lay under that the -- a witness to all of his family's attempts and he better life. As well as their deep bitterness when those efforts failed. And their dreams proved unattainable. As each small disappointment war on his family -- ripping them apart it also further join our own -- integration. A series of quiet yet powerful body punches no once off thing. I knew this kid he was a good kids at his wrestling coach and apparently also will monster. Skip the sparks it's laugh outlawed line we'll get to just a second. I -- you about his diverse groups different. Jim does as his friends called him -- -- pumas had a great three point shot. A diligent student he was nominated to the National Honor Society that saw four year old -- Yvonne Abraham the gloves that you don't learn anything yeah you just list of like a dozen things right I think that dale Ellis is you know we had a good three now. But not Ray -- I'll just finish with this diligent student nominated in the National Honor Society joined the wrestling team he was one of those kids who was just a natural. He was a supportive teammate who endured grueling workouts and runs with -- single complaint. In his junior year the team made them the captain by then everyone knew him as your car which is teammates which agreement matches to ensure the rest. Would never missed pronounces the name. See I'm coming around ansari on Abraham you're you're stronger willed person that I -- are coming around on this -- Janet right I think he would set up like a mother. We Jessica module c'mon did everything to breastfeed him in this story what you what she basically did was when it comes down to she talked to a bunch of his friends knew from high school yes in a wrestling coach who loved him. It did this thing to blast to a three page this story basically -- -- and -- booster stuff. And get Brooks that publicity stuff but to suggest I heard what no really not a bad kid. My favorite and you guys. Parties agreed that you have your favorite line. I mean every line of the story is an attempt to make you feel sorry for him but my favorite line comes from and the key is Chechnya threatened. Talked about the side of kids. Quote they were very soft like cuddly kittens. Always hugging and kissing each. She's talking about mass murders some of the worst. June the first successful terrorist attack on this country since 9/11. Two guys. Who murdered four and wounded 280. And into shook the city images monsters who killed the child culinary world child. Who who bootlegs off of thirty people. They were. Cuddly kittens she -- that. She says that an editor -- that they were like cuddly kittens always hugging and kissing. About murderous network and stuff were honest I didn't elect cuddly kittens -- could you imagine. Again we get to split and you mentioned the name Adam wins against yeah I can imagine saying this about Timothy McVeigh or -- lands or. In the -- combine all of my guys -- the -- shooting right -- over the George Zimmerman is innocent he's not a criminal now imagine them looking into -- -- -- to -- he had his brother. Which like -- -- couldn't make their fingers like that it would never ever -- ever happened. At this Muslim monster. Who murdered. Year old child who looked at in salt and smile -- again I'm gonna blow that kid up. Was -- cuddly kitten. Connecticut. He can't put into words -- outrageousness is and I'm sorry the likes of you know go on Google gone in in my friend Marjorie game. Now they're trying to understand and explain it is just an outraged the suggests. It's crazy screwed up nutty left wing right radical keep. Oh they're trying to complicate. Or describe as complicated and analyze how this whole thing just nothing complicated to vote no they are evil people evil. Monster end of story evil Muslim people from each pitch Nestle had this twisted ideology. Who carry it out and who by the way still to. Still I mean obviously -- doesn't anymore policies that they would divergence. There's no evidence that Joseph -- It's filled with regret and remorse and didn't know why you know what it was you know -- was thinking when he loses arrogant punk in court according to yeses. He's got no regrets now need to get just pocket the kids are in college about this in twenty year old hopes to -- the nine elevenths an inside job accordion city of Cambridge that much and I -- know we that most people in Cambridge. According these kids -- -- 9/11 was an insight into what we do love to sit down with these losers. And say explain how what happened how to work how did Cheney do it or whoever. Your show and what you say it's dangerous and people like you shouldn't be able to trying to -- much what's nice about their opinions in public. Here's the description before we go to the break. Appear in court at his at a federal courthouse in Boston. -- smiled. On slouch in his chair and generally. Seemed not to fully grasp the seriousness of the situation. At times he seemed almost to spark which wasn't -- mark. Those who know times. What is brilliant smile don't want m.'s market has put it in a bad light. As a quote teachers seem like the old job are thinking what the league is going here. Says his wrestling coach who was at the courthouse that day. Now take a break. Open the -- lines 617779797. Ones -- filling up. Get to a bunch of things today at the very first thing we get back to witness I will prove to you that Janet Reitman wrote this 111000. Words. Love -- love she is saying you love letter -- there was jazz pianist as is has a comedic talent deep into her bowl. That rivals anything Larry David -- has written in his life this was a laugh -- -- moment we will do as soon as we get back. Other on the Rolling Stone. Ayatollah discouraged -- -- All the children about the -- as temperatures on an army glorifying god created -- -- if you want. Of them there -- glorifying these guys I guess if you don't allow. Chick filet of you know like chicken sandwich yeah sold got to draw the line somewhere you can't allow -- -- there in your city. Auction I don't get to that later on about the pay attention that you really like the auction and one other just sort of reference for no apparent reason. Like to be when you grow up. Me yet who like to be mean to be famous like tiger would you wannabe you know and you know -- like to go with a -- -- was not be bought it and the paparazzi water and other men I thought would wanna beat Tiger Woods -- graduate -- movie -- -- crap I wanna be Howard -- even big ugly. He works like three days a month. And it is also a tortured soul is a different -- that -- -- he's got he's got issues with what a great schedule is yeah it's art you know hours but he only works. Less -- Two week out month I would like putting address on to be Judge Judy. That's a good one yeah Judge Judy works one week a month one week a month. And makes five million a year which are back raised a good deal doesn't do budget -- -- I had from back to my god yeah he's and his -- I don't at all the other judges must all make good money out of the guys. Judges -- is the stuff about discuss it before all the time judge -- upset ever made as much as he did. Analysts -- commercial a couple of amateurs who got famous after arraignment. It's true then yeah -- We could check it out about why isn't isn't base was. That's a good question Mark -- Loughner is I guess you know Joseph walker. I'm just think of you know scheduled to shore and that would -- look like it's about this Miguel on help him analogy that's a good one. That's a good what makes me laugh if I -- I -- no golfer as entertaining visually as a guy and we all got his chest out like a bit anti -- got -- but stick Connecticut pony -- got us a guard one man I think it was a Scotch in -- -- in the bag at our group and we I. Went public gamers with that we often talked about was the swing. This guy's great that trapped in this deal with the wedges he has the great greatest gift of all the no intention in his body and like no worry no concerns like these guys. Will be up all night now up late tonight laying in the -- same club -- yeah. Finally get a charting their course she doesn't do it implant practice I get the feeling that that he looks at this catty. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Doesn't know where it's a peek at how drugs is there is why a drug contiguous when he hit that tree in the -- If if you detect what are still alive he's nine victory while seemed -- good for him it's judge you're -- critical over. Seriously disgrace to profession should listings that was -- I told you TV's judge shut up she's -- she's arrogant. He will not try to it was a view was -- very gently guys. Rusty bailiff -- she -- 45 minute you made one of them one week a month she is a goddess and my does that say how much he's worth now and now he's on now. Worked on network got. Are we -- is one of the break Rick Anthony threatening a routine just a second ready for the last from Fermi -- may -- gas found something else funny. I've found a hundred things you found that you got the right one -- -- and this is -- a wonderful compilation out of new information that I didn't know him and a just dubbed a laugh out loud funny line. It's up early in the east like New -- or 56000 words into. Chechnya and families are very traditional. On a warm and talkative woman in her late forties tells me that her country quote ladies don't Wear pants you'd have to Wear a skirt. And marrying outside the culture is taboo. Bizarre idea however were atypical in that regard. -- -- was quote. Very opened moderately. With a taste first published cheap. High heels and short skirts she left -- the part that she steals it never got a she had tattooed eyebrows. Permanent make up very glamorous. And her children. Always dressed nicely too and finally. But diet. Adore her children particularly Tamil. -- tall muscular boy she compared to Hercules. You hard on the other hand was the baby his -- to walk or heart he looked like an Angel sent on and was called Joseph joke. -- -- He was always like mommy mommy mommy yes. And we have decision to colleges or -- One of the other Jews or -- and the -- -- -- you know a comic you know it's never come. Is she is a lot of questions is how well she was a very open modern lady with a taste for stylish jeans high heels. And shorts to their pictures she sees this -- -- -- that she is -- an enterprising woman -- sure. Worked as a home help bait and switch to cosmetology. Giving facials. At a local salon and then later opening a business in their home. Her justice for shoplifting. Use to it. Sure Tebow was a pressure she mentioned shop that she did later that's a tell you that's another story an underdog but that was gonna happen I was stuff that that is. One of the left -- -- I guess this is more subtle score isn't quite as funny or talk funny at all in the and talking about. Joseph -- and she is his friends that's was for and will says he was just super chill yeah. This this is where does the writer. Janet Reitman right. Cool he had morals they all agree quote he never picked on any one. While he could probably knock out anyone he never did quote he wasn't violent. He would never violent. Says Sam is brand. -- I am committed most violent. In in the city's -- in history and had morals. And says he had. Yet morals he was never violet you talking about a guy who -- bombs and and wounded two entity killed four people shot -- earlier we believe in cold blood he would she broke. -- He was never -- 61777. Point 79 -- 37 let's talk to Fred in New Hampshire has been waiting a long -- good morning. Good morning guys. I just want. To make three points the first it is. At this looks -- day. It's a disgrace the Rolling Stone his pick to run their that it disgraced the United States to the people books and and especially to the victims of the bombing. The my second point is he justified. 9/11. Why they put Chicago leak in bin Laden on the coupled with him because they rocked grease gun based. If they're not dreamy they would never put. -- Belushi. It covered him up as all eyes out didn't he was hard -- -- Carolina -- here he'd have soulful hoc practice. At that they might bite they're pulling his guys and -- Stuckey before I was in special forces I'd like to interrogate that little world. Before he was medically treated because what you do is -- ask -- a question that he doesn't answer. You -- index finger right in his political move that sucked our route I didn't have him doing an Irish debt the -- in ten minutes. You know he well I didn't realize nothing learn that's one of -- Abrams wrong we learn a lot. He was a devout Muslim. It and Julian Wright and writes that he gave that we -- -- -- and -- full goal try that was tough it gave up we need. During Ramadan that's -- easier than eating fish sticks on Friday. Good restaurants could confess I K I try to give a bite my nails and land is just impossible -- -- had real discipline -- -- two for two days according to a nurse afterwards. After the -- human hospital right after you blow on and killed children you know he -- was -- and that's good that's that's the yep that's how -- now. We know the contrite. He cry edges out -- implement it Rick good morning. More guys. -- a few minutes ago peak my interest and map you eluded to the our kids who built to move read that little dog crap everything out buy into it. The following Friday that it Carolina -- now are. Let me if you -- I would -- beach or the Vietnam era before -- joined the military and when it hit by the military rally. You know understood what the whole thing was all about the protesters. They're about the same approach that that -- You know Atlanta protest all the where soldiers came home from Vietnam. Who -- their country back a bit. And it just. Amazes me how -- college kids can really be in the fact that they just need. Like -- to grab on to. And it. That that. That same people on talking about alike and it -- sixty right now early -- -- sixty and I point it cause is that stupid and will grow a lot of it apparently can let it -- to -- yet. They've just been you know here a little period in college everything out what the professor -- what every in the papers not Internet. And it just amaze me how these kids have no concept of light yet I think that might be the point of trying to make -- suspect that. They -- you like that forever. Well I don't know I mean I've met dumb college kids I was a dumb college kid but these of the dumbest I mean these these -- Join the military idea I -- complaint I wasn't at all what to look like the left column but I worked on a plane on an aircraft area. And -- at the time and and I got -- concept and everything out I mean it looked known to be slightly and I am. Which -- I ain't that cute it's the ultimate. Inflation that Patriot Act that yet we mean that is why we have the Patriot Act and people like that I mean that is -- defendant. They're looking for rate they're looking for closet looking for allegiances and these dope smoking but he's the good kids Algeria the good kids good kids the debate team the National Honor Society people the -- -- all those people. That's who -- young. That's Wheeler that's one thing we learned. Learned a lot -- Janet Reitman wrote that he went through a series of quite yet powerful body punches yes his life and that's what this analysts I think you know -- why shouldn't we shouldn't let another second goal line because we talked about this at length yesterday -- -- about talk about. The the day of reckoning for retailers in this area right and and we -- say congratulations to our great friends that Cumberland farms. Excellent idea. CVS is well Walgreens to -- ski. Shaw Stop & Shop Roche Brothers as far as I know unless something is changed overnight. Only Barnes & Noble and 7-Eleven. Have decided WL seven or where they'd -- at the store they tried to raw but before SX security -- call that's the war. It's gonna sell the magazine. And an amazing. This is Peter to best -- president of the desk -- foods. And we have distorts 717 boy Austin goes right between the two blasts. OK we have employees that were affected that saw what happened. We have a lot of our customers who were adversely affected some of them very -- -- by this event. It's really not about censorship -- a more about fellowship. -- elect not about censorship that's about fellowship Peter does censorship you can what you want to -- on line one way. And apple read it to you on censoring her words in fact. They're getting a lot of publicity is good publicity -- think it's a disgrace that the magazine. Gonna have a hard time recovering from this but. You can read it won't stop you from reading it plod as in Connecticut. On good morning I didn't Geithner will -- Take just one quick thing did you know that Rowling stole. Last yesterday at the -- emergency shipped overnight this. This not the magazine. To the -- -- -- the manager for next hour -- are sent out emergency. Email all the stores. Let's look forward third shift because that we're gonna sentiment so they can be a surge as legitimate part of up on shell of itself. So you're you're selling either trying to accelerate the process they were -- went on Friday. Does that mean they think you're gonna sell a lot more than they normally would -- Were they what they wanted to get him out in its entry and Agassi now I'm shell and start selling before. All heck broke loose which is what's going on what you guys and everybody else. Not gonna sell is not is not gonna sell and you could and maybe Barnes & Noble feels some obligation because it's bigger and they. Magazines from all over the world and and all that but no one's mind I don't I can't picture people -- meet in honestly. There is it's. In an hour -- accused me you make of political these are these are left wingers -- on the left off the Charlton wingers. And in May in my knee to left. You know. Deval Patrick who didn't read the article says there's lots of good stuff and it didn't re. Apparently bringing in the morning. But the cover is. Got a taste. Oh out of Thomas Tapeh listing I -- does that mean. Out of -- this is out of touch her in bad taste right he's a magazine cover so he's right on -- takes -- kill him but he's -- he relates -- Janet Reitman type who thinks 9/11. Was the result of people failing to understand and love to one another that was his explanation. Of the these these slaughter of 3000 -- --

After a tour of the house and yard we were treated to tea and cookies and a violin concert! Back to town, dinner in a cave, our first authentic Budweiser beer (not the American variety) and off to bed.

I obviously need the Internet to get all of those little marks over the letters, and I usually write the entries from trains (no Internet).

A man "snapped" and shook his partner's baby to death after he may have found out he was not the child's dad, a court heard.
James Larkin, 26, left 11-week-old Christopher with an "unsurvivable brain injury" after suffering a "loss of temper", the Mirror reports.
The jury heard how the baby's mother Laura Ostle, 21, called the paramedics to their Doncaster where baby Christopher was found in cardiac arrest and died two days later in Sheffield Children's Hospital.
Larkin is standing trial at Sheffield Crown Court charged with manslaughter, and Ostles with perverting the course of justice.
Dafydd Enoch QC, prosecuting, told the jury that Larkin does not deny shaking the child but claims he "shook him in a panic" trying to revive him because he was ill.
The couple were said to have had a "dysfunctional" and "tempestuous" relationship and they were heard in the back of a police car "getting their story right".
Enoch said:
I don't know how many of you have held a new born baby but even those of you who haven't will know and appreciate how tiny and vulnerable a baby of that age is.
Everyone with even the most basic common sense or knowledge of the world knows do they not, that to violently shake a new born baby for whatever reason is likely to cause very serious injuries if not death.
This was, the prosecution say, a straightforward loss of temper by James Larkin. It can have been nothing else. It certainly was not an accident. It was a deliberate shaking.
The jury heard that a good friend of Ostle, Chantelle Drury, described Larkin as Ostle's slave and how Ostle could be "evil to him and knows how to push Larkin's buttons and wind him up".
Larkin and Ostle both deny their charges of manslaughter, and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, respectively.
The trial continues today.

Lions sub Liam Feeney struck a stunning injury-time winner to settle a five-goal thriller and set up an FA Cup Fifth Round home tie with Bolton Wanderers.The magic of the Cup was alive and kicking on a memorable night for Kenny Jackett's Millwall, who recorded their first ever win at St Mary's - and long awaited first success against The Saints in 11 starts.Victory was no more than The Lions deserved, having battled back from a 2-1 deficit after Adam Lallana (35mins) and Rickie Lambert (76mins) had cancelled out Liam Trotter's 17th-minute opener for the Londoners.Dany N'Guessan (79mins) hauled Millwall level at 2-2 with a bullet header and the game looked to be heading towards an energy-sapping 30 minutes of extra-time.But Feeney, an 83rd-minute replacement for N'Guessan, had other ideas and sent the travelling fans into ecstasy with an unstoppable 20-yarder that flew into the top corner to send Millwall through.One win doesn't make a season, but the manner in which Jackett's men went about their business really does bode well for the remaining 17 league games."It was an excellent game and we scored three very good goals," enthused Jackett."At the moment our priority is staying up but I hope that our win tonight can help breed confidence.After the defeat at West Ham we needed to freshen the team up a bit; lads like Ryan Mason and Josh Wright, who has been waiting for his chance and opportunity. I'm pleased to say that we got a positive response from everyone."Jackett made wholesale changes with no less than six new faces in the mix following Saturday's league defeat at West Ham United.Most telling of all was a new frontline of Harry Kane and N'Guessan, who were joined by James Henry in a three-pronged attack supported by a midfield trio of Trotter, Ryan Mason and Josh Wright.Saints boss Nigel Adkins made changes of his own, but in the opening half it was the new-look Lions who really seemed up for battle against a surprisingly sluggish Saints.Millwall looked composed in possession, bright and purposeful going forward and dominant for long spells of the first 45 minutes.Saints keeper Bartosz Bialkowski was called into action after five minutes with a smart save from Henry's inviting delivery and the visitors' crisp passing game made it difficult for the home side to settle.Millwall's early endeavour was rewarded on 17 minutes when Kane teed up the skipper, who drove into the bottom corner and beyond the keeper's reach for his second goal in successive games.The Lions had a couple of decent opportunities to double their lead; first when Mason was played clean through by Scott Barron, but drove wide from 16 yards and then on 34 minutes N'Guessan fired into the side netting when Trotter and Kane were crying out for the ball to be pulled back into the six yard box instead.That miss proved costly as just seconds later Saints broke, and with their first real penetrative attack hauled themselves level courtesy of Lallana's low angled finish.Lions keeper David Forde produced a fantastic reflex save from Guly Do Prado on 39 minutes whilst his opposite number Bialkowski showed what he could do, tipping over Henry's driven free-kick for a corner.Southampton caused a couple of anxious moments early in the second half when Tadanari Lee's thumping shot on the turn flew over the bar and then Lallana's free-kick cracked the woodwork before the danger was averted.Do Prado, who had been booked in the first half for a poor challenge on Mason, was lucky to escape a second yellow card after 50 minutes for a crude tackle on Alan Dunne.And Saints themselves had a lucky let-off when keeper Bialkowski did well to deny Henry, diving low to his right to parry the winger's goalbound effort and then thwart the impressive Trotter.Kane then tried his luck from long distance and N'Guessan headed over from Barron's cross as Millwall pressed forward.But it was sub Lambert, on target in the first game at The Den 10 days ago, who looked to have taken the wind out of Millwall's sails with a clinical low finish 14 minutes from time.However these inspirational Lions were in no mood to give up, and when N'Guessan rose to meet Henry's delicious right wing cross, Bialkowski was left grasping at thin air as the striker's bullet header flew into the back of the net.You could sense the belief flowing through the Millwall players; Southampton were there for the taking and that is exactly what happened deep into the third minute of injury time.A piece of smart thinking by Kane, who worked tirelessly throughout, saw the teenage striker release sub Feeney with a quick free-kick. Feeney did the rest, racing down the left flank, cutting in and letting fly with a stupendous strike that gave the keeper no chance.Southampton: Bialkowski, Richardson, Martin, Fonte, Harding, De Ridder (Barnard, 77mins), Hammond, Chaplow (Reeves,60mins), Lallana, Do Prado (Lambert, 54mins), Lee.

Bad NewsMature
An ordinary day. Sun shining, slightly breezy, clouds looming on the horizon, but fine all the same, quite normal weather for a spring day in Scotland. Sitting on my old frayed armchair flicking through the channels, sat with the love of my life, my wife Sandra. My name is James McGregor, or Jimmy to my friends and wife. We always lived in a quiet neighbourhood.
Nothing exciting ever happened apart from a few youths getting arrested every few months, and the neighbours we'rent always as friendly as you would picture them in a rural area. They were mostly other old folks who kept to themselves or younger couples buying their first home, either too shy or ignorant to acknowledge you. I don't blame them, the less people you get attached to, the better in my opinion.
I handed the remote control over to my wife like I usually do when we can't choose what to watch, she always finds something good I never would have considered watching. That woman always warmed me up to new things, such as fruity shortbread biscuits.
" Cup of tea, my turtle dove?" I questioned as I rose steadily from my chair.
" That would be lovely, pigeon." That wrinkly smile I cherished spread across her face, lighting up her twinkly pale blue eyes.
We always referred to each other as turtle dove and pigeon. I nicknamed her after a beautiful, graceful bird, yet, as a tender joke of her own, she named me after a rat with wings. I smile to myself while popping tea bags into two the mugs we use all the time, and wait for the old kettle to boil.
I was twisting my wedding ring back and forth, a habit I gained when I'm thinking deeply. Picking up the kettle while still in a daze, I was about to pour the water into our favourite mugs. My wife's voice startled me back into reality.
"Jimmy! Come look at this!" The panic in my wife's voice worried me, so I almost dropped the kettle in a rush to get to her. As I hurried into the living room, i found her leaning forward looking shocked and afraid. Once I clocked that she wasn't in any danger, I turned my head slowly to the television set. BBC news was on.
I shuffled to my chair and took my place next to my wife, reached out for her hand and clutched it like I never wanted to let go. The banner running across the top of the screen in bold white writing claimed it was a breaking news report. The reporter at the desk looked terrified.
" This is no joke, ladies and gentlemen, this is a real breaking news report. Scientists in france have failed to contain a deadly virus they've been testing after one of their specimens escaped. A number of calls have already been made about people being attacked viciously, being bitten and mauled. The calls are getting more frequent, and all we can do at this moment is pray for the French nation, and hope it is contained."
" We'll have regular updates on the situation as it develops." The news reader looked awestruck and distraught. My wife looked exactly the same.
" Oh Jimmy, what happens if it spreads? We might be in danger!" Sandra turned to me slowly, in-able to take her eyes away from the shocking report. Her bottom lip quivered slightly and she tried to hold it together.
" Don't worry Turtle dove, they know what they're doing, we're quite safe here." I comforted her with a warm smile and squeezed her hand. As she smiled back, eased by my words, I let go of her hand and raised from my chair. I Started to twist my wedding ring back and forth as I sunk back into my thoughts, this time shocked and sympathetic for the French.
" How about that tea then, my love?"

Java 1.4 added the concept of assertions, code lines that test that a presumed state actually exists
AssertionError will be thrown.
To use an assertion in code:
assert (condition) [: messageExpression];
The optional
messageExpression will be converted to a
String and passed as
the message to the
AssertionError constructor, so it cannot be a call to a function
declared as
For example, perhaps we are using a third-party function that is specified
to return a
double value between 0 and 1, but we'd like to guarantee
that is the case.
public class AssertionTest { public static void main(String[] args) { double value = thirdPartyFunction(); assert (value >= 0 && value < 1) : " thirdPartyFunction value " + value + " out of range"; System.out.println("Value is " + value); } public static double thirdPartyFunction() { return 5.0; } }
If the function returns a value outside of our expected range, like 5.0,
the assertion condition will evaluate to
false, so an
AssertionError will
be thrown with the message "thirdPartyFunction value 5.0 out of
Note: in a 1.4 compiler, you must inform the compiler that you are compiling your code under Java
1.4 rules to use assertions, using the
-source 1.4 command line
javac -source 1.4 ClassName.java
In Java 5 and later this is not necessary.
Assertions are used for debugging a program, and usually not enabled for
production runs. You must specifically enable assertions when you run the program, by
using the command line switch
-enableassertions (or
java -enableassertions ClassName java -ea ClassName
Oracle's "rules" for assertions emphasize that they will be disabled most of the time:
public methods,
since that check will disappear if assertions are not enabled.

A comparison of different screening strategies to identify elderly women at high risk of hip fracture: results from the EPIDOS prospective study

Decision to treat with an anti-osteoporotic drug should be based on individual fracture risk evaluation. We compared the discriminant value of four different screening strategies to identify elderly women with a risk of hip fracture greater than 20 per 1000 woman-years: (1) BMD screening alone, (2) quantitative ultrasound (QUS) screening alone, (3) QUS triage followed by BMD assessment for women with medium-low QUS parameters, and (4) selective BMD screening based on weight followed by clinical evaluation for women with medium-low BMD. The study population included 5910 women aged 75 years or older who participated to the EPIDOS (Epidemiologie de l'Ostéoporose) prospective study. Over an average of 3.7 (±0.8) years of follow-up, 231 women suffered a hip fracture, which corresponds to an average risk of 10.6 per 1000 woman-years. All strategies allow us to clearly distinguish a group at high risk of hip fracture (i.e. >20 per 1000 woman-years) from a group at low risk (i.e. below the average risk in the cohort). QUS screening alone has a very low sensitivity (15%). The strategy using QUS as a method of triage and that combining selective BMD and clinical assessment have a sensitivity equivalent to systematic BMD screening (around 35%), with less than 50% BMD examinations. The high-risk women identified by these two strategies are not the same. A simple algorithm combining QUS, BMD, and clinical risk assessment allows an increased number of high-risk women to be identified (21%), and thus improves the sensitivity (53%). With this combined strategy, women in the high-risk group have one chance in ten of having a hip fracture over the next 4 years, whereas women in the low risk group have only one chance in 40.

I wrote this very long poem a few years ago, so it's not that good...
Alone in the dark,
No fire, only sparks,
Sits a lonely creature.
Alone in the night,
And without a fright,
Sits a lonely creature.
Alone in the light ,
And it so terribly bright,
Sits a lonely creature.
Alone in the day,
Not a word to say,
Sits a lonely creature.
Until out of the bushes,
And when the wind 'whooshes',
One of his kind came to him.
She had came to him
With only one whim,
For him to follow her for eternity.
Questioning all the while,
She just gave him a big smile,
And said these simple words,
"The last of our kind, are we."
With a stunned expression, he askes, "How can that BE?!"
Then she goes on for the whole story.
With the passing of hours,
Clouds climbing into towers,
She speaks of their past.
She was a queen, and he was a king,
And to save their race they had to sing,
For that was how they reproduced.
So they sang for days,
Ignoring others' says,
To repopulate their race.
When done finally
All you could see
Were little creature babies.
"Our work here is done
So nigh shall we depart into the sun,
To sleep for the rest of eternity."
"But why shan't thee
Hence run away with me,
A promise made like a death oath?!"
"Because now I
Have to die,
For the bearing too much..."
"Please, my love,
One as fair as a dove,
Let us sing once more into the earth."
So once more they sang,
All the while their voices rang
Untill one moon had passed.
"Oh, my Queen, why,
If it was told you were to die,
Has it not happened within the moons passing?"
"I do not know, my King,
But now all I want to do is sing
Into the heavens for eternity..."
"Oh, my Queen,
Does this finally mean
The passing of your soul?"
"Yes, my dear,
It is my only fear,
But treat our kingdom well..."
"Oh, my Queen, WHY!?!?
Why must you die!?!?
You are my Queen, and no other shall ever be!!!"
And with that she died,
And the good king cried
Into the dark night.
But left completely not was her soul,
Which burrowed into his mind like a mole,
To help him cope.
Then the king sat
On a mat
Of patted dirt.
But the more he would mourn,
Ever worse grew his scorn,
Untill he decided he, too, should die.
That night,
He tried to fight
The urge to kill himself.
His loss was too much,
And he felt no powerfull clutch
Like a proper king should
That night as he went to bed,
Dread filling his head,
The king dreampt of his Queen.
He dreampt of the Queen,
In an aura of golden sheen
Around her whole self.
"Oh, my dearest King,
Bound to me by a ring,
Please do not kill yourself."
"But I miss you,
And your kingdom does, too!!!
But I will do what you want."
"Oh, dearest King,
Please take off your ring,
And set it in my hand."
"Waht good will that do
When no longer existing are you
In this world?"
"In the morning it should be proof enoguh
For you to stay tough,
For your ring will not be there."
So he took off his band,
And placed it in her hand.
Then she set it in her pocket.
The next day there was no ring to be found,
So he looked on the ground
To try to find his ring.
He looked under and by his bed,
Checked the little patch of hair on his head,
But it was nowhere to be found!
"Oh, my Queen,
Now I have seen
Why I should stay alive."
So he went on living,
Now happier, his kingdom giving
Him full support and respect.
Untill one day,
A few days into May,
The king announced to his people,
"People of this land,
All under my command,
I have great news to tell!
"My Queen has shown me
A reason to be
The ruler of this land."
"Then why do we,"
Asked a creature that looked like a bee,
"Have to suffer here?!"
"it is true that we suffer here!"
Started one who was in the form of a deer,
"From lack of shelter?"
"Then why do thee
Stay here with me
And not go make thy own kingdoms?"
"So you are asking why
We do not try
To make our own kingdoms?"
"I am asking that, yes,
And I must confess
That the kingdom IS depleting a little..."
"Depleting a LITTLE, you say?
Well then why don't you look the other way
Or through our eyes?"
"Look through your eyes you want of me?
Fine then, I will for thee.
But only because we are kin."
The nmost of his people cheered,
But a few still jeered,
At the king's proposal.
So throughout the next week,
The king began to seek
What made his people so sad.
Throughout the next week,
He found the peak
Of their sadness and fixed it.
"My people, I am glad
That you are no longer sad
From lack of food and shelter."
"Thank you for serving our needs,
And now all the food that feeds
Us will be plentyfull."
So the king just smiled
As the food piled and piled
Into a very tall heap.
With all the problems pushed aside,
And the villagers never cried
The king lived the rest of his life fair,
Never bothering to cut his hair,
And waited for his Queen to return to him...

What to wear to a wedding is a minefield. It's all right for the bride: she just has to lose half a stone, wear white, and everyone is contractually bound to tell her she looks wonderful. It's the rest of us who have it tough. The form for a summer wedding in Britain used to be simple: a garishly coloured but boxily sensible skirt suit and a hat. A bit like a lollipop lady crossed with the sugar plum fairy. But now that weddings have turned into style statements, the pressure is on for guests to add to a very pretty picture.
The first potential style pitfall of the modern wedding is to ignore how times have changed - wear your lollipop lady outfit and you'll look like the Queen Mum on a dancefloor of Jade Jaggers. The second is to mistake "informal" for "undressy". If a formal wedding means modelling your look on Chanel haute couture (no matter that it actually comes from Zara; we're talking inspiration here), then an informal one means modelling it on Matthew Williamson or Marni. It does not mean failure to make an effort, which is frankly just rude to your hosts. The third pitfall is slightly trickier to negotiate. Do not make the mistake of thinking that dressing for a wedding, however modern and untraditional, is the same as dressing for a party. The perfect party outfit says, "Aren't I wonderful!" The perfect wedding outfit says, "Isn't life wonderful!" Your outfit needs to suggest joie de vivre, not narcissism.
If you think I'm talking nonsense, cast your mind back to this classic fashion faux pas: a recently single Liz Hurley arriving at a wedding with a dress slit to the hip and flashing her diamanté knickers. A useful reminder both of why pitfall three should be avoided at all costs, and of the fact that, however badly you get it wrong, you'll (surely) never get it that wrong.

SURUC, Turkey/BEIRUT (Reuters) – A first group of Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters entered the besieged Syrian town of Kobani on Thursday to help push back Islamic State militants who have defied US air strikes and threatened to massacre its Kurdish defenders.
Kobani, on the border with Turkey, has been encircled by the Sunni insurgents for more than 40 days. Weeks of US-led air strikes have failed to break their stranglehold, and Kurds are hoping the arrival of the peshmerga will turn the tide.
The siege of Kobani – known in Arabic as Ayn al-Arab – has become a test of the US-led coalition's ability to stop Islamic State's advance, and Washington has welcomed the peshmerga's deployment.
A first contingent of about 10 peshmerga fighters crossed into Kobani from Turkey, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Kurdish and Turkish officials said a larger deployment was expected within hours.
"That initial group, I was told, is here to carry out the planning for our strategy going forward," said Meryem Kobane, a commander with the YPG, the main Syrian Kurdish armed group defending the town.
"They need to make preparations so the peshmerga will be positioned according to our needs," she told Reuters.
Around 100 peshmerga fighters arrived by plane in southeastern Turkey on Wednesday, joined later that night by a land convoy of vehicles carrying heavy weapons including a cannon and truck-mounted high-calibre machine guns.
In a compound protected by Turkish security forces near the border town of Sur, the fighters were donning combat fatigues and preparing their weapons, a Reuters correspondent said.
Iraqi Kurdistan President Mason Barani said his region was prepared to deploy more forces to Kobani if asked.
"Whenever the situation on the ground necessitates and more forces are requested from us and there is passage for them, we will send more forces to protect Kobani and defeat terrorists in Western Kurdistan," he said in a statement.
Islamic State has caused international alarm by capturing large expanses of Iraq and Syria, declaring an Islamic "caliphate" that erases borders between the two.
Its fighters have slaughtered or driven away Shiite Muslims, Christians and other communities who do not share their ultra-radical brand of Sunni Islam.
The United States and its allies in the coalition have made clear they do not plan to send troops to fight Islamic State in Syria or Iraq, but they need fighters on the ground to capitalise on their air strikes.
Syrian Kurds have called for the international community to provide them with heavier weapons and munitions and they have received an air drop from the United States.
But Turkey accuses Kurdish groups in Kobani of links to the militant PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party), which has fought a three-decade insurgency against the Turkish state and is regarded as a terrorist group by Ankara, Washington and the European Union.
That has complicated efforts to provide aid.

With Bill Moyers, Paul Krugman discusses President Obama's choice for Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew, as well as his reaction to public support for seeing Krugman himself in that job. "The Secretary of the Treasury is not now going to be somebody who does deep thinking about the economy. There are people the president can call on for that, including outside economists, including Joe Stiglitz... including myself," Krugman tells Bill. "What the president needs right now is a hard-nosed negotiator. And rumor has it that's what he's got."Watch the full clip at the link. (Kos link, post by Bill Moyers.)

Luca: Last day at schoolMature
Alice bounces off to get ready for school and I wonder vaguely why she's so happy to be going. Aside from the fact I was only put in school when I was nine with no clue how to read or write let alone do maths or whatever bullshit they felt like trying to teach me, I hated that school started so early. How can anyone be happy and bubbly like this in the morning?
"She's taken to you really quickly," Gemme half laughs and I nod looking back at her with a slight smile.
"Yeah. I never thought I'd ever be any good with kids. I just kinda figured I'd turn out to be as shit with kids as my parents were.... apparently not."
"You're lucky, even I haven't had an "I love you" yet."
"Really?" I'm surprised. I'd have thought Gemme would be more loveable than me. "I feel special," I laugh quietly.
"Yeah, it's true," she sighs and I can't help but wonder what I've done wrong.
"What's up?" I ask.
"I've known her for about two months now and I get nothing, you hang around for a few days and she loves you."
"You did make me out to be the knight in shining armor," I point out, "but I dunno," I shrug. What do I know about kids?
"You are," she murmurs and I do a bit of a double take.
"How am I a knight in shining armor?" I ask incredulously.
"Oh, never mind," she dismisses it, but she's made me curious now and I wanna know.
"I'm curious," I say, with a slight smile. C'mon. It's keeping my mind off the cravings and what else I could be spending my day doing.
"Jeremy, or 'the evil man.' You saved me from him; you saved me from an eternity of loneliness. Oh listen, I sound like I'm depressed." She half-laughs, but I wave it away.
"I'm sure I'm not the only one who would have gotten you away from Jeremy. I just happened to be the guy with you when it happened," I shrug, then realize I sound like I'm putting myself down, remembering that Gemme hated it before. I don't even mean to do it. I'm just so used to it, it comes out without me thinking about it. Kinda like how I ended up back here.
"Yeah, you were with me, because do you remember what we were doing before it happened?" I swallow as the beach flashes in my head and I nod. "But that sunset burnt me bad, hmm?"
"It burnt us both," I mutter. At least, kinda. It's like it's branded into my memory forever, etched in with a red hot poker... or whatever it is you call those things you make brands with.
"You just managed to rise faster than what I did."
"Well it looks like it. Sure I have a band and stuff, but I'm broke, my addictions are worse than ever and I'm a hypocritical, lying bastard. If anything, I feel more like I've sunk."
"Well, I'm hardly an angel." She sighs, smiling slightly. You're an angel next to me, honest. "I love you though." She mutters and I'm not sure how I should reply. While I was with Kat, it just became an automatic reply if she ever said it and I realize as I open my mouth, that that's exactly what I was about to do to Gemme. Do I mean it?
I dunno. Confused, I close my mouth again and just in time, Alice bounds back down the stairs, ready for school.
"Hey, Alice," I smile, standing up to take her hand. "Ready?" She nods, grabbing her bag from the table in the corner of the room.
"Yep!" she chirps and I hold out my other hand for Gemme. She smiles and takes my hand too, squeezing it softly. As I make the door open itself and we walk outside, I wonder where the elementary school in this town is. I haven't got a clue. Embarrassing, much?

Valentine's Day Party for the Broken Hearts, at Buck15 Sunday
Let's face it: Valentine's Day sucks, no matter what your sitch. If you're in a relationship, it sucks. After all, who wants to spend a night at a jam-packed "romantic" restaurant where, the already crappy service is going to deteriorate exponentially due to the Hallmark-driven frenzy, while some asshole forces you to buy roses your date doesn't want to carry? Yet if you're single come V-Day, it seems to suck just as much. Why else would you invariably end up getting tanked at the nearest watering hole, in hopes that someone else is lonely enough to go home with you? It's not like getting laid on Valentine's is any better than on any other day.
Heading to Buck15 won't appease your loneliness, and it won't guarantee you'll be getting any. But their Broken Hearts Night party will at least offer some far better options for the source of your rejection than you're likely to find elsewhere. And the fact that Radioboxer will be kicking out the alternative jammy jams most definitely sweetens the pot. It's an 80's party, so don your neon colors and your spandex, your chunky jewelry and your Members Only jackets. And accept rejection like you did back then--by drinking far too much peach schnapps and vomiting in the gutter on your way home.
Radioboxer performs at Buck15 on Sunday, February 14 with The Albany. Live art by Kazilla. Cover is $3, drink specials all night.

The Forest Gang's Plan
Chapter 5
"Would you look at that," Judas said.
"Yeah I see it," Shannon replied.
"Let's get in there and seize it," Storm suggested excitedly. Alex crouched next to him and nudged him.
"We have to think before we do something. Otherwise we'll be killed." Storm rolled his eyes.
"With this dragon, we could make a fortune!" Zacharias, their other companion, spoke.
"Yeah," Shannon agreed and fitted an arrow in her bow and pointed it at a young man.
"Maybe I should just kill each one of them now."
"No," Judas said. Shannon lowered her bow, disapointed.
"But why? Now is the perfect moment!" Zacharias replied. Storm nodded and said, " Judas, why can't we have that dragon now!?" Judas silenced them.
"We will wait and follow them. Then we will trap them," Judas told them. But they stared at him with uncertainty in their eyes. He turned away and watched the Black Dragon. It seemed so harmless from his point of view. He shook his head. He couldn't let his gang down now that they had found something worth more than anything.

Some of the charities paying for mental health care for children and families affected by the Sandy Hook school shooting are running short of money and officials do not know how much they will need and for how long to repair the psychological scars from the mass shooting.
Newtown officials are applying for a federal grant and charities are pooling their resources in an attempt to ensure that free long-term mental health care remains available following the December 2012 shooting that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead.
"We hear in the media, 'Well Sandy Hook was 14 months ago, isn't everything fine?'" said Candice Bohr, executive director of the Newtown Youth and Family Services. "Well, no it's not and we get calls every day from the school wanting to address an issue.
"I would love to say that in 10 years we're going to see a huge drop and everyone's better and we've moved on, but that's not the case."
Three of the charities that have been providing funds for services have started working together, while the charity that has raised the most money the Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation says that it will probably join the alliance soon.
The Newtown Lions Club, which raised $350,000 (£210,000) for mental health services in the wake of the shooting, has told the 250 people it served that it could no longer directly pay their mental health bills because fundraising was being outpaced by demand.
"The demand was well beyond anything we could have predicted," said Peter McNulty, president of the Lions Club.
Other charities are picking up the slack. The town's Rotary Club and the Newtown Memorial Fund, which had been spending a combined $30,000 a month on mental health care for 150 families, partnered with the Lions Club, said Brian Mauriello, founder of the Newtown Memorial Fund.
Those who need help are being steered to the state's Office of Victim Services, which processes applications for money from a pool created by all three charities. So far, nobody has been turned down.
"I don't think anybody has a crystal ball to say whether there's going to be enough money or not," said Linda Cimino, the director of the state Office of Victim Services "I do know that the plan is for a 15-year horizon."
The Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation has about $4m left after giving more than $7m to the 40 families most affected by the shooting. Meanwhile, the town is seeking more than $7m in a federal grant, in part to help cover the next 18 months of costs for the nonprofit agencies providing free mental health care. The grant also would create a "recovery and resiliency" board, which would help match people with specific services and programmes.
Bohr said her organisation saw an 85% jump in clients after the Sandy Hook shooting and had to quadruple its staff, adding 29 positions. They have been providing everything from intense one-on-one therapy, to simple advice to parents who come in asking how to deal with their children's questions about the shooting.
Another nonprofit, the Resiliency Center of Newtown, opened in September. It has served about 500 people with free programmes such as art and music therapy, grief counselling, and parenting classes.
Stephanie Cinque, the executive director, said they have been funded with private donations, but she is counting on the federal grant money to keep the programming going. While they await a response to the grant request, Cinque said it is clear the services are having an impact.
"After all the therapy she'd been through since 12/14 we never thought we'd have her back," the mother of a Sandy Hook student who completed a self-esteem programme wrote in an email shared by Cinque. "And we have our daughter back."

The use of female-only shortlists to get more women on City boards has been found to be unlawful, according to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission.
The Business Secretary Vince Cable had hoped using all-female shortlists would be a way to get more women on boards to meet Lord Davies' target of 25 per cent on FTSE 350 boards by next year.
Mr Cable asked the commission to advise on legality but the commission yesterday said it would be "unlawful sex discrimination". It instead issued guidance on how to improve gender representation on boards.
The commission also launched an inquiry into the recruitment and appointment practices of the top 350 listed companies at board level.

The inquiry will be chaired by EHRC Commissioner Laura Carstensen. This is the second inquiry by the commission which issued a report that said the appointment of women is being held back by selection processes which "favour candidates with similar characteristics to existing largely male board members".
Vince Cable said: "The headhunting industry have been looking for reassurances on the legality of all-women shortlists. That's why I welcome the EHRC's guidance, which has clarified this issue."
He added: "While more needs to be done to ensure women are properly represented in the boardroom, there are now no all-male boards and women account for over 22 per cent of FTSE 100 board positions."Reuse content

Berkoff is the sneering adulterer, Collins the snooty aristo - and the parallel characters, scuzzbag private dick and arriviste housewife. The fringe play (from which this is drawn) usually delivers a short, sharp shock, but here Berkoff's stagy direction dissipates most of the scathing wit and pleasing vulgarity. The film resembles a video shot from the front row of the audience. She romps on silk sheets; he writhes at the crack of a riding crop. Dreadful.

After seeing some sluggish years in the post-mortgage crisis era, retail sales are expected to reach pre-2008 levels in the coming years. As per the forecasts in the table below, the world retail market is expected to grow at an average rate of approximately 4% per annum, in the next 4 years. The growth in the developed markets of North America and Western Europe are likely to remain slow in the coming years. The major growth in the retail industry is expected to come from emerging markets.
Source: Economist Intelligence Unit
In line with these trends, Abercrombie & Fitch Company (NYSE:ANF) has announced in its recent SEC filing that it is going to open stores in multiple international locations in an attempt to "leverage the international appeal" of the company's brands. In the statement, the company has named certain countries in which it is going to open flagship and Hollister stores and today we would be looking at those countries in order to predict the prospects of ANF.
New Stores
In its report, the company has stated:
"We expect to open Abercrombie & Fitch flagship locations in Seoul and Shanghai and approximately 20 international Hollister stores. The Hollister openings will include our first stores in Australia, our first store in the Middle East in Dubai through a joint venture and entry into the Japanese Market for Hollister."
In this article, we will concentrate on the markets outlined by the company, assuming that these are the largest expansions that the company will undertake in the coming year.

As can be seen, apart from China, all the countries are among the top 50 richest nations of the world and all the countries have achieved moderate growth in GDP. China has the lowest GDP per Capita in the above list but it has achieved the strongest real growth over the past few years. All the countries are expected to replicate this growth in the future.
Source: Economist Intelligence Unit
Australia has experienced moderate GDP growth in the recent past but its GDP per Capita is relatively higher than other economies in Asia and Australasia. The Australian retail sales also saw a large slump immediately after the 2008 crisis but is slowly recovering pace as consumer confidence is established and as the economy starts to recover.
The retail sector is the second largest employer of Australia and the sector directly contributes about 5% to the country's GDP. High immigration rates, increase in disposable incomes and growth in the number of single person households would likely cause growth in retail sales. The apparel sector is also expected to show steady volume growth in the coming years, but households are expected to switch to cheaper brands in order to reduce their debt burdens.

In 2013, China will overtake the US to become the largest retail market in the world. China is expected to achieve a double digit growth in retail sales and this growth has become the focus of many retailers as they try to expand into the Chinese market in order to take advantage of this growth. Despite such a high expected growth rate, a move into China should be taken with caution. Chinese authorities have recently lowered their forecast for consumption growth and if China's emerging real-estate bubble bursts, the impact on retail sales might be substantial.
Expenditure on clothing in China would continue to grow fueled by an increase in disposable incomes and an increased focus on fashion apparel, especially in China's main cities. As a large number of brands move into China and local and foreign brands expand their coverage through a move into second and third tier cities and online accessibility, ANF is likely to face tough competition in the Chinese market. However, with a high expected growth in the market, a move into China would likely benefit the company.

Japan is expected to remain the third largest retail market of the world, behind China and US, but the country is quickly losing ground to emerging markets such as India. The country is likely to see a slowing retail market in the future due to an uncertain economic outlook and a shrinking population. The Japanese market is generally easy to penetrate as half of the country's population is settled into the three largest urban centers. Furthermore, general homogeneity of the population means that retailers do not have to cater to various ethnic groups.
Japan will likely remain a cornerstone of the global fashion industry, with a number of internationally recognized designer names. In addition, Japanese street fashion continues to influence apparel and footwear in many other countries. However, an aging population and higher savings rate will make it difficult for any new entrant in the market to establish its presence. Thus, I would term ANF's move into Japanese market as risky due to the high level of competition and slowing consumer spending.

South Korea is one of Asia's most dynamic and largest retail markets and is ranked as the 4th in Asia and Australasia region. The South Korean market has recently seen a slowdown largely due to the fallout of the euro zone crisis, and both the higher and lower income groups being affected by the crisis. However, around one-half of the country's population resides in or around the capital, Seoul, and a general liking of western goods, this looks to be a good market for ANF.
The apparel and footwear sales are expected to grow at 4.5% per annum over the next four years. However, as population growth slows, this rate is likely to fall in the future. South Korea is also an export dependent nation and as the eurozone crisis intensifies and other developed markets see a slow recovery, the average income level is likely to be affected adversely. If, however, the country is able to shift its focus towards emerging markets in Asia, then the general population's income would continue to see rapid growth, as achieved in the past. In my opinion, South Korea is one of the best opportunities for ANF's expansion into foreign markets.

The UAE has one of the most advanced retail landscapes in the Gulf Cooperation Council. In the recent past, the country experienced high private consumption largely driven by high oil prices and high government spending. Also, the recent unrest in the region saw a great influx of visitors towards UAE.
The apparel industry in the UAE is very important as it attracts large amounts of investment. Well known brands are generally found in shopping malls as the majority of the population shops in malls. High disposable income, driven by high oil prices and a high growth in population is expected to cause a considerable growth in the apparel and footwear industry. However, this growth is likely to slow down in the later period due to higher inflation. However, due to a large presence of domestic as well as foreign brands, ANF would face fierce competition in the UAE retail market.
In my opinion, ANF revenue and earnings will likely grow in the future. Apart from Japan, all the countries exhibit strong fundamentals and growth prospects. As Japan is one of the largest retail markets in the world, and the majority of its population is concentrated around few cities, it might turn out to be a profitable venture for the company. In my opinion, ANF's move towards the large and growing markets in Asia should be seen as a growth driver for the company.
Based on my analysis of the market fundamentals, I would give a buy recommendation to Abercrombie & Fitch.

"It's just all me, basically, so it's very cool," she added.
