Eleanor Holmes Norton expressed support for federal employees who may soon have some required unpaid time off. (Stock image)
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) is not pulling any punches in her criticism of those responsible for the sequester, saying the across-the-board budget cuts are more an ideological point for certain lawmakers than economic best practices.
"It should be understood that who really controls Congress is not the overall Congress – not the Republicans or the Democrats, but the very large number of Tea Party Republicans," she said. "This large number of people who defy the best of economic analysis and insists only upon cuts, essentially all leading the pack and making it more difficult for others to step outside the pack."
The District of Columbia's non-voting congressional representative kicked off the Federal Managers Association's annual convention March 4 in Washington, D.C., with a morning keynote that emphasized the federal workforce's recent struggle with pay freezes and sweeping budget cuts currently being enforced.
"There are no precedents to guide you as you have to manage your way during a period when you have to ditch long-term planning and even tear up yesterday's short-term plans or reassure and motivate employees with no assurance yourself of what the next day will bring," Norton said. "You can't promise them much."
Federal managers also have to consider furloughs for employees who can "ill afford a day without pay" to reach the savings required by the sequester, Norton said. "You even had to contemplate furloughing yourselves!" she added with incredulity. "I'm not sure that any manager in the history of our country ever had to contemplate laying themselves off."
In light of the escalating anti-federal sentiments and the cuts aimed at the workforce to achieve savings, Norton said she hoped federal employees are used to being rhetorical punching bags.
"If you have an antigovernment point of view, then you see federal employees as representatives of the government – but it's Congress that's representative of the government," she pointed out.
The constant targeting of the federal workforce "borders on an addiction, and it's time to go cold turkey," Norton said. Instead of persistently tapping federal employees for more savings, subsidies to corporations should be stopped, she said, because "why in the world should we give any tax breaks for such profitable companies?"
Norton, who serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, last week announced she would offset the impact of the sequester on her staff by donating some of her pay in solidarity – a decision she called "a small action."
"Your pay," she said to the audience, "and the pay of my own employees is subject to the political whims of members of Congress who enjoy constitutional protection against the cuts they're needlessly visiting on federal employees, managers, the public, and the economy. Donating a day's pay for whatever number of furlough days is no sacrifice to me."

The appropriators supporting an IT modernization bill are urging a key authorizing committee to vote up the bill and send it to the Senate floor.
The architect of the Managing Government Technology Act is happy with the administration's request for a central IT modernization fund, but he thinks the real action will take place at the agency level.
President Donald Trump's budget proposal identifies almost $150 billion in savings over 10 years by slashing federal employee benefits, but feds and their unions are crying foul.
As expected, the proposed federal budget contains $228 million for a general fund for IT modernization projects.
The Modernizing Government Technology Act passed the House of Representatives on a voice vote, but the Senate outlook is less certain.
The revised IT modernization bill will cost $500 million to implement, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
This is one of the most blatantly one-sided political hack articles that I have had the misfortune to read. I understand that Ms. Norton wants to blame her political opposition. But where is the corresponding article laying out the Republican, Tea Party and conservative positions? Why isn't FCW reminding readers that the initial poposal for a sequester came from the Obama Whitehouse, not the House or Senate. Where is the outrage over the fact that the Democrat-controlled Senate has failed to address a national budget for over 4 years? These are some of the issues that you should be addressing.
The Republican controlled House was the only group to put forward a plan to reasonably deal with the sequester. The Dems did nothing but politic For a Dem to make such a statement otherwise is almost laughable if the situation was not so sad. But with the media in their back pocket, they know that they can continue to get away with lie after lie - with at least enough people to keep them in power.
I like how the blame is put on the Republicans in Congress, while the Senate has not been in the loop yet and does not have a say in their raises or the funding bills that supposedly the Congress has sent to them? About the only thing I see that looks good is the pointing out that all the focus seems to be on the hired help (federal workers), and nothing toward the rest of the money pot (industry which pays bribes, although in this country we do not call it bribes).
Delegate Norton has been in Congress since the early 90s. She's a fossil and part of the problem, having racked up debt under three presidents. She has 3 Congressional offices to represent one city, and spends $400,000, around 2 dollars a vote, in the PAC money she raises, to run unopposed every election. She couldn't cut a budget if you glued scissors to her hand and gave her paper with a "cut here" guideline. Until we get rid of tax leaches like her there will be no progress.

A first-half penalty from Jeff Hughes coupled with a stunning 63rd-minute strike from Chris Lines sent Millwall sliding to their first League One defeat of the season at the Memorial Stadium.Hughes slammed home the opener on 25 minutes from the penalty spot after Andy Frampton was penalised for a foul before Lines hit an absolute screamer to wrap up the points.Yet again Lions boss Kenny Jackett had his hands tied in terms of his preferred starting XI, with midfielder Marc Laird joining Paul Robinson and Jason Price along with a plethora of other injured first-teamers on the sidelines.In came new-signing Danny Schofield for his debut following his transfer deadline day move from Yeovil Town, whilst striker Ashley Grimes was handed a senior start for the first time since 3rd March 2009.Teenagers Kiernan Hughes-Mason and John Marquis were due to be on duty for Scott Fitzgerald's U18s at QPR but found themselves named on the subs' bench at the Memorial Stadium instead.Rovers, themselves fielding debutants in the shape of keeper Mikel Andersen and Mark Wright, had The Lions under pressure from the opening whistle, forcing four corners in the opening five minutes.Having weathered the early storm, Millwall began to ask questions of the Gas defence themselves.Frampton and Jimmy Abdou worked a half-chance for Gary Alexander, but his path to goal was blocked by Danny Coles.Some great work by Schofield on the right saw the right winger wriggle past Aaron Lescott and send over an inch perfect cross for Grimes. Unfortunately the latter's header lacked power and was comfortably held by Andersen.Abdou then floated a header from Schofield's free-kick as Millwall enjoyed their best spell of the opening half.But back came Rovers with Darryl Duffy and then Lescott thwarted in quick succession by a great defensive block from Alexander and keeper David Forde respectively.However, there was little Forde could do to prevent the opening goal on 25 minutes. Ali Fuseini's attempted clearance just outside the danger zone was blocked, Hughes picked up the ball and broke into the area before he was floored by Frampton.Referee Jon Moss had no hesitation in pointing to the spot, sensibly brandished just a yellow card to Frampton - and Hughes did the rest with a fierce spot-kick into the top left hand corner to put Rovers 1-0 ahead.The Lions, looking surprisingly edgy at times defensively, struggled to get any real attacking momentum going before the break either.That fact was clearly not lost on manager Jackett, who introduced George Friend for the subdued Dave Martin, but then it was all change again when Alexander was forced off with a heel injury with the second half barely four minutes old.On came 17-year-old frontman Marquis to partner Grimes up front. And within a couple of minutes of entering the fray, a great dummy by the sub played in Grimes, whose crisply struck effort was pushed away for a corner by Andersen at full stretch.Marquis was again involved after 57 minutes when he met Dunne's deep cross, but was unable to direct his header on target.At this stage, The Lions were playing with a new-found impetus and when Dunne's goalbound diving header from Schofield's delivery on 62 minutes was deflected for another corner it seemed odds-on that the next goal was going to be an equaliser for Jackett's side.But Schofield's resulting corner was cleared, play quickly swung up the other end following good work by Wright and Hughes. Hughes picked the ball up, took a couple of touches and then let fly with an unstoppable 25-yarder into the top corner.That second goal clearly knocked the stuffing out of a Millwall side who battled gamely, but were thereafter put under pressure by a Rovers outfit that always looked capable of adding to their tally.It took a brave block by keeper Forde to deny Lescott as he raced clear on 80 minutes and then Hughes contrived to fire wide of an empty net from six yards with the goal at his mercy as Rovers pressed forward, albeit unsuccessfully, in a bid to increase their tally.Despite finishing the game goal-less and point-less, there was one major positive to take out of the match - the performance of youngster Marquis who showed some nice touches, good awareness and didn't seem overawed by his perhaps unexpectedly early introduction to senior football.

I have excess skin like bags under both eyes where the skin is loose. I wanted to know if there are any tips to get rid? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 6
Skin wrinkling of the lower eyelid
thank you for your question. It is difficult to say with certainty what your best option would be but it does not appear as if you would be likely to benefit from surgery. I would consider nonsurgical approaches which may include technology-based treatments and injectables. I strongly recommend consultation with a physician who has extensive experience treating these conditions.
Under eye area
You may want to consider laser treatments and medical grade products to improve the quality of the skin. If you prefer a more aggressive approach you can look into lower eyelid surgery. Visit with a plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your concerns and treatment options.
Lower Eyelid Bags
You have provided a difficult picture to comment on, head leaning forward and looking down. Possible options to help soften some of the irregularities include building up the cheek/lower eyelid area with a filler. Chemical peeling and CO2 lasering can help to soften wrinkles. A lower eyelid blephaoplasty removes puffiness and extra skin. I would suggest consulting with a cosmetic surgeon that works on a lot of men to discuss which options are appropriate for you.

Under eye bags
Thank you for your question. Based on the picture provided, there is wrinkling of the skin in the lower eyelid, which in common. Although results vary, conservative, non-surgical treatment would include CO2 laser skin resurfacing or chemical peel to soften the fold of skin.
Loose skin
It is normal to have some wrinkles in the lower eyelid skin. However, if it bothers you a lot then get some Thermismooth treatments.
Dr. J
Bye Bye Bags-Under Eye Treatments: Fillers, Lasers, Microneedling/prp
Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under eye bags and hollows. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer.

Notting Hill Brasserie
We had our first visit to this quite charming and elegant restaurant. The setting and decor are splendid. Whilst the food was impressive the service was disappointing for a restaurant of this standard (unfortunately, just a place where people dont know that a warm welcoming, a bit of kindness, a smile and goodby could make all the difference).
The starters were mouth watering but ridiculously meager. The rest of the meal was superb, cooked to perfection and visually stunning. The service was painfully slaw and impersonal. The staff were abrupt and disintrested. At the end they were paying more attention to tidying and cleaning up then attending to customesrs. We were quite annoyed by his so we decided to pay the bill and leave.
I really did not think that we got value for money and felt a bit cheated.

We had a really lovely time in this excellent restaurant. Dinner was to die for. Every course was faultless and the service was very friendly and attentive.
I cannot recommend this restaurant too highly.

The 33-year-old, who joined Chelsea in 2004, has been linked with Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua, where former Blues team-mate Nicolas Anelka now plays.
But Drogba said: "I'm really happy where I am. I belong to Chelsea. For me, that's what matters. If I'm playing, if I'm not playing, it's the manager who decides and I have to respect that. Everyone knows I want to stay in blue and everybody knows I love the club and the fans."
Anelka signed a two-year deal to play in the Chinese Super League in December. In his first news conference with his new club, the Frenchman said: "I hope Drogba will come. I'm in contact with him very often and if all goes well, we could see him in Shanghai."
Drogba, who is 34 next month, arrived at Stamford Bridge from Marseille for a reported £24m and in his first season helped the team win the Premier League and League Cup.
The Ivory Coast international collected another Premier League winner's medal the following season and has also won three FA Cups, another League Cup and a third league title with the Blues.
However, the club are without a trophy since their Premier League success in 2010 and have struggled to make headway in the league in Andre Villas-Boas's first season.
Former Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink, meanwhile, has been appointed manager of Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala. The 65-year-old former Russia boss has agreed a contract until the end of the 2012-13 season with the big-spending club, who had been linked with ex-England coach Fabio Capello.

text: I'm wondering if I can expect to see winter and/or warmer clothes in the outlet stores in November. My previous visits to Orlando have been in April, May and September. During these times, I find there is mostly summer clothes available. I live in Newfoundland, Canada... a very 'winterful' place to live. I was hoping to hit some good deals on winter coats, hats, etc.... Just curious what to expect. Thanks.

Crowdfunding Maternity Leave: U.S. Couple Start Campaign In Lieu Of Baby Shower
Paid parental leave does not exist in the U.S., which is why one California couple has resorted to crowdfunding to help cover the mom-to-be's maternity leave.
Charles Webb and Rona Luo, who live in Oakland, are expecting their first child in July. While the U.S. does offer up to 12 weeks of "job-protected leave" under the Family and Medical Leave Act, it is unpaid and only applies to those who work in companies with 50 or more employees.
As a result, Webb and Luo, a video game writer and a self-employed acupuncturist, are looking to their community for help to fund Luo's leave of absence.
"Your support will allow Rona to take a three month unpaid maternity leave so that she can fully recover before returning to work," the couple's YouCaring fundraising site reads. "Your funds will also help us procure baby gear items like a car seat, stroller, diapers, changing table, nursing supplies and more."
According to Webb, his partner thought crowdfunding would be more beneficial than a baby shower, as the money could help support the family while they only have one source of income.
"Rona struck on the idea that in lieu of a baby shower, we should reach out to our friends and family for help directly," the dad-to-be told HuffPost Canada Parents. "Money for diapers and to help with her leave are more valuable than clothes which we could get as hand-me-downs or limited-use things which we could find second-hand."
Luo also added that she was inspired to crowdfund for her maternity leave after she campaigned with two friends to start a collectively-owned business in 2014. "That perhaps primed me towards being open to asking for community support and generosity," she said.
Since launching their fundraiser on Monday night, the couple has already raised $881 of their $4,500 goal. "We've been touched by the positive responses and our community's generosity," the expectant mom said.
"Money for diapers and to help with her leave are more valuable than clothes which we could get as hand-me-downs or limited-use things which we could find second-hand."
Luo and Webb aren't alone in their fundraising efforts. Back in April, Today.com reported that crowdfunding is now a trend among parents trying to help cover costs of parental leave.
Virginia mom Jennifer Warren Baker, who also crowdfunded during her pregnancy earlier this year, echoed Luo's sentiments about turning to the community for support. "People are crowdfunding everything else, why can't I do this?" the mom-of-four told Today.com.
In the past, GoFundMe has hosted over 5,000 fundraisers for people looking to fund their maternity leave or child care, says spokeswoman Kelsea Little. Additionally, YouCaring has also seen dozens of people start similar fundraisers on their site.
"We're not trying to get anything out of it other than just making sure I have a place to live with my kids," said one Texas mom, Kieri Andrews, who has a GoFundMe page for her maternity leave.
"Ideally universal parental leave benefits would mean we would not have to fundraise like this."
The U.S. is one of three countries that do not provide parents with any paid parental leave, which is why so many have resorted to fundraising.
"For workers without paid family leave, taking time off to care for a new baby or a seriously ill loved one can have devastating long-term financial consequences, ranging from racking up credit card debt to raiding savings to bankruptcy," Dina Bakst, co-founder of A Better Balance, an agency that fights for flexible workplace policies, told ABC News.
Luo agrees that U.S. parental leave policies are troubling. When asked what she thought of the U.S. not offering any leave to new parents, the mom-to-be said: "I believe paid maternity leave should be universal and available to low-wage workers, as well as the growing population of self-employed, freelance or independently contracted workers. Ideally universal parental leave benefits would mean we would not have to fundraise like this."
In Canada, maternity leave policies are strikingly different compared to the U.S., as both parents are offered up to 35 weeks of parental leave combined. In addition to this, new moms can also take up to 17 weeks of maternity leave.
Duration: 34 weeks (37 for single moms and 43 for multiples) Wages paid: 65 per cent Parents (overwhelmingly moms) on parental leave are entitled to work without sacrificing their benefits. Still, the country has the lowest rate of working mothers of kids children under the age of six in the European Union: 37.6 per cent, compared to the EU average of 58.9 per cent.
Duration: 36 to 46 weeks Wages paid: 100 per cent for the shorter leave, 80 per cent for the longer Norway's so-called daddy quota was introduced in 1993 — four weeks of use-it-or-lose-it parental leave that has since been bumped up to 12 weeks. Interestingly, moms are only required to take six weeks off after having a baby.
Duration: 365 days Wages paid: 80 per cent for 150 days after the birth, and 50 per cent for the rest. Albania is a largely agrarian economy, with small-scale farming accounting for half of employment. Still, it is surprisingly progressive when it comes to mat leave; meanwhile, just across the Adriatic, Italian moms get five months of leave at 80% of pay.
Duration: 52 Weeks Wages paid: Moms get 55 per cent (up to a maximum of $485 per week) for 17 weeks; the remaining 35 weeks can be split between parents, at the same rate. To qualify, you must work 600 hours and pay in to the Employment Insurance system in the year before you initiate a claim. You can also generate a small amount of extra income while on parental leave (though be warned: It's based on a new and intensely complicated formula that almost negates the value of doing so
Duration: One year Wages paid: 82 per cent for first 30 days, 75 per cent for the rest. Yet another former Yugoslav republic, with an economy still highly reliant on foreign aid, makes the Top 10. Bosnia has a birth rate of just 1.25 babies per woman, putting it at No. 218 out of 224 nations (Singapore's is the lowest, at 0.79).
Duration: 52 weeks Wages paid: 90 per cent The U.K. is second on that MIT/Harvard list of socially progressive countries. But we have to wonder: Does the Duchess of Cornwall qualify for maternity leave benefits now that she's at home with wee George?
Duration: 52 weeks Wages paid: 100 per cent The maternity leave benefits might be great, but just 38.3 per cent of women in this former Yugoslav republic participate in the workforce, well below the European Union average of 58.5 per cent.
Duration: 52 weeks Wages paid: 100 per cent For the second year running, Denmark was ranked number one in the World Happiness Report. The country has the second-highest level of female employment in Europe and generous family benefits that amount to 4.2 per cent of the country's GDP. Plus, babies six months and up are guaranteed a daycare spot.
Duration: 1 year Wages paid: 100 per cent Over and above the one year of paid leave, either parent is entitled to stay out of the workforce until their child turns three. That stretch of leave is unpaid, but the parent continues to collect medical insurance and accrue pension benefits.
Duration: 420 days Wages paid: 80 per cent Ikea, H&M, Alexander Skarsgård — this tiny Nordic nation has a lot going for it. And in April, Sverige was ranked the world's most progressive country by a joint MIT/Harvard study. Its generous parental leave — which can be spread over eight years, and two months of which must be taken by dad — is a major factor.

Upper control arms
2000 wrangler 4.0 auto, 4" lift, vibration on take off, while driving hwy speed it's all over the road, it rides very rough, I know the upper control arm bushings are worn and they are all still the factory ones, I was thinking about putting rear upper adjustable arms and oem on the front, since money is tight, what would be the best setup for a budget price?
The pinion angle may not be right due to the lift. Did you install a new drive shaft with the lift or a skid plate drop? Too steep of an angle on the drive shaft will cause vibrations.
SYE + CV shaft + upper adjustable control arms. the SYE is useless without adjustable uppers...and similarly, there isn't much point in adjustable uppers unless you've got a reason to adjust the pinion...aka a SYE.
2) What size tires are you running and, precisely, what air pressure is in them?
3) Do you have a SYE/CV driveshaft installed?
4) Has your rear pinion angle been adjusted properly? Are you certain?
5) If no SYE/CV driveshaft, how far has your t-case been dropped and have you also added a set of 1" taller motor mounts?
It has the stage 1 pro comp 4" lift kit, with the cheap pro comp shocks, no sye/cv, the t-case has been dropped a little over an inch, it seems to be getting worst and the ride is getting rougher! Oh and as far as I know the motor mounts are stock!

Microsoft Tightens Security, Deals IT Folks Headaches in Flame Fight
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
Microsoft roots out obsolete MD5 certificates, disallows RSA keys shorter than 1024 bits
In August, Windows computers will receive a critical update via Windows Update. The patch is designed to close a security loophole in Windows' encryption that is being actively exploited by malware authored by the U.S. government and Israel.
I. Exploiting Trust in Microsoft
Currently, Windows allows 256-, 384-, and 512-bit keys. Some Microsoft Corp. (
) Terminal Server Licensing (MSTL) certificates until recently also used
the weak MD5 hashing algorithm
, despite the algorithm being officially discontinued in 2009.
The weaknesses, both on the hashing and the key-length front, allowed "world-class" malware authors -- believed to be in the employ of the U.S. government and Israel -- to write
a piece of malware called Flame
, which uses a MTSL certificate cracked by a hitherto unknown attack called MD5 chosen prefix collision.
Certificate in hand, Flame was able to masquerade as a Windows Update from the ultimate trusted source in the Windows world -- Microsoft. Thus the malware quickly proliferated in its intended target location -- Iran and the Middle East.

II. Microsoft Fights Back With Patch
Kurt L. Hudson, a senior technical writer at Microsoft, has posted a
Windows PKI
blog regarding next month's Windows Update, which is expected to tighten key restrictions to prevent further abuse.
He writes:
To further reduce the risk of unauthorized exposure of sensitive information, Microsoft has created a software update that will be released in August 2012 for the following operating systems: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2. This update will block the use of cryptographic keys that are less than 1024 bits.
To prepare for this update, you should determine whether your organization is currently using keys less than 1024 bits. If it is, then you should take steps to update your cryptographic settings such that keys under 1024 bits are not in use.
The update could render applications with signatures shorter than 1024-bits unable to install. It may also create difficulties with certain websites, SSL certificates, and Active X controls.
Shorter keys will no longer be considered valid in Windows. [Image Source: Microsoft]
Corporate users are given a series of suggestions to prepare the signature length bump. It remains to be seen exactly how difficult the transition will be for everyday consumers.
1024-bit signatures will be short-lived, as well.
The National Institute of Science and Technology
in 2011
[PDF] Dec. 31, 2013 as the official target date to black out 1024-bit key encryption using the RSA and DSA algorithms.
Key-based encryption algorithms are only as secure as the enemy is weak hardware- and algorithm-wise. [Image Source: Margie Stibora]
The security community must constantly bump encryption algorithm strength and length in the face of ever increasing computing power and clever new attacks.
No encryption standard is safe
from individuals with sufficient computing power and savvy in the long run -- even quantum encryption has proved susceptible to attacks on the hardware used to encrypt the quantum bits (qBits). Thus security is measured in fleeting moments of safety, using technology that in years will be rendered useless.
III. Did the U.S. go to War With Iran?
Since Flame was discovered, Microsoft has also conducted a vigorous screen of its licensing certificates and discovered 28 other certificates that did not live up to its current standards, but had escaped correction in past cleanups.
Flame remains a hot topic, as both it and Stuxnet are the subject of lively debate over whether the U.S. "
declared war
" on Iran by unleashing the malware on it.
Rooting out the Flame worm is a top priority for Microsoft. [Image Source: Krishnan Vasuvedan]
Presidents George W. Bush Jr. and Barack H. Obama both
allegedly authorized
the use of the malware against the Asian nation. Stuxnet primarily
targeted Iran's nuclear weapons refining facilities
, while Flame offered
a general attack on Iran's oil industry
-- one of the key sources of GDP for the nation.
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

A phone called the Huawei angler was recently run through the GeekBench benchmark test. The angler happens to be a code name for the manufacturer's upcoming Nexus device. The test revealed that the Snapdragon 810 SoC is driving the stock Android handset, which will include an octa-core CPU (which ran at 1.55GHz during the test) and the Adreno 430 GPU. Also revealed by the test was the news that the handset will sport 3GB of RAM.
On GeekBench, the Huawei Nexus 6 had a single-core score of 1156, with a multi-core tally of 3641. That is pretty close to the score produced by the LG built Nexus 5X. The latter, powered by the Snapdragon 808 SoC and its hexa-core CPU, had a single-core score of 1082 and a multi-core score of 3298 during the summer.
One last bit of news derived from the Huawei Nexus 6's GeekBench test. As you might expect, Android 6.0 will be pre-installed. Both the Nexus 5X and the Huawei Nexus 6 are expected to be unveiled on September 29th.
Thanks for the tip!

Injuries have not done a lot for Jonny Wilkinson. To list his body parts that have malfunctioned over the past five years would increase the weight of this section to the point where lifting it would give you a hernia. Which, of course, appears in the JW catalogue.
But last week, injuries came to his rescue. Or at least hushed the first murmurings of a profane campaign to oust him from the England team. (One wild pass to Danny Cipriani, the boy who would replace him, and one dance by James Hook, a try-making dart by the opposite number who upstaged him, and: 'You're so 2003, Jonny...')
The medical bulletins last week began to roll in without, just this once, his name being the first to be read out. Unavailable, instead, were Tom Rees, Lewis Moody, Dave Strettle, Mike Tindall and Andrew Sheridan.
Jonny, in A&E with a cough and a splutter, was left waiting as the doctors administered to the victims of a multiple pile-up. The unthinkable words, 'Jonny, you're dropped', remained unspoken. And so it is that he takes his place among the 'angry men', as the England coach Brian Ashton has labelled his team to face Italy in Rome today.
It is not clear how well Jonny does 'angry'. He stresses, far too often to be convincing in his rambling answers to questions about his state of mind, that he does not do self-castigation. He moves on. He may be disappointed, but what is done is done. It's just that he may not be sleeping too well.
Some things he cannot change. His footwork, for example, does not allow him to do what Hook did: beat one opponent, then draw two more towards him before releasing a team-mate outside him. Hook did all that naturally. Jonny is a manufactured jinker.
He cannot, for instance, make the forwards provide good ball, other than by generally keeping them happy, or at least pointed in the right direction, with his decision-making. And here we run into the major of the Jonny problems.
Far from being someone who runs a game with crystal-clear vision, it would appear that he is only as good as the system of communication by which other people's decisions are relayed to him. Let Jonny think for himself and England end up in trouble.
I'm not saying he is as incoherent on the field as he can be at a press conference when he enters Jonny-world. The only thing he is good for there is insomnia. But after all this time, a full decade now, it is pretty clear Jonny needs instruction. He is not necessarily a pre-programmed sportsman, but he responds to orders better than he issues commands.
So, it is up to quite a few of the other England players to make Jonny tick. Inside him, Andy Gomarsall, who against Wales was sucked into a personal confrontation with the abrasive Mike Phillips, needs to keep his brain cool.
Outside him, at least he has the company of Newcastle. Toby Flood and Jamie Noon can share respectively the brain-ache and bosh. Their crazy club-mate doesn't have to do everything on his own. Keeping cool, it would seem to me, is more important than doing the Mr Angry stuff. England have to remember the way they played for an hour against Wales. If you compare the opening 60 minutes of cold, clinical surgery to the six minutes of mayhem, there seems little reason to advocate volatility over efficiency.
I think Ashton's reference to angriness was to stress the vengefulness of the England mood. And when you compare the promise of rectification with what Italy coach Nick Mallett said in the week about his team's leakiness against Ireland, there can only be one winner today. But Mallett, who is as succinct as Jonny is long-winded, cannot be believed. The last thing he needs is any notion of Italian expectation. He knows the enemy beast well.
England, he will remember, after their pool defeat to South Africa at the World Cup, were tipped, and not by just a few colonial wishful-thinkers, to be beaten by Samoa and then by Tonga. England were far too doughty to fall for that old nonsense.
But for every public word of scorn Mallett pours on the elevation of Italy, he will be using two words of fire in private. Whatever he said about Italy in Dublin being rubbish, he will have seen enough spirit there to believe an upset is possible.
Italy will be stronger than Wales at the set piece in the opening hour. Martin Castrogiovanni will be looking forward to scrummaging against Tim Payne. Sergio Parisse, from No 8, was enormous against Ireland; Mauro Bergamasco, everywhere, was inspired.
If Mallett says that he is having to teach Andrea Masi on the job how to be an outside-half, there is little the coach has to tell him about tackling. Masi could be the best defensive No 10 since the bloke he faces today introduced us to the neurological peculiarities of the 'stinger'.
England should win, of course, but perhaps by doing a reverse of what happened in game one. I cannot see how, given their injuries and the strength of the opposition pack, they will slip immediately into the groove.
But slowly they will gain the upper hand. And Jonny will kick them into the right positions and on to the scoreboard. Then, with the base stabilised and reinforced, they may cut loose. Perhaps with Cipriani running the last quarter.
Now that would be something for Jonny, forced out not by his old tormentor, injury, nor by the force of a media-driven wind of change. But he would walk off, 20 points to his name, the architect of his own departure.

New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis will have surgery on his torn ACL Thursday and will be placed on season-ending injured reserve, head coach Rex Ryan told reporters Friday. The move clears a roster spot needed after safety Eric Smith sprained his knee in practice on Thursday, forcing him out of Sunday's game against Indianapolis. "I know I had said before about Darrelle that I'd like to wait for him to have surgery before we placed him on IR or not," Ryan said. "Unfortunately with that time situation, you've had Eric Smith being out this week, we're going to need that roster spot." The team planned to fill the empty roster spot with a safety by Saturday. The Jets delayed placing Revis on IR based on the small chance that he could return for the Super Bowl XLVII in February, should the Jets advance that far. "When I said it was a 0.002 percent chance? Well, it's not that high," Ryan said. " ... I was holding out hope but the more information we got, I realized that wouldn't be good for Darrelle either."

If your PC is like most others out there today, it probably has tons of programs, apps, toolbars and small utilities running in the background.
And it's quite possible that all of those running processes are causing your system to run about as fast as a snail fitted with a full body cast.
You have probably read somewhere that removing unused programs can help speed up your computer, but which of the programs listed in the Control Panel's "Uninstall a program" list can you safely remove?
That question has puzzled computer users since the early days of Microsoft Windows, but there's a handy free download that can help you answer it with confidence.
Should I Remove It? scans your system and creates a list of all of your installed programs, then assigns each of them a score based upon ratings provided by countless other users as to whether that program is actually needed and whether removing it caused any problems for them.
If you still aren't sure about a particular program, you can click on it to visit the program's page in the 'Should I Remove It?' database and read more about it.
If your PC is running slow because of a mixture of "bloatware" and legitimate programs that you really don't need, "Should I Remove It?" could be just what the doctor ordered for cleaning up your Windows installation and getting it back into peak condition.

Wiltshire Council's Conservative cabinet has approved draft plans for consultation that set out Chippenham's growth over the next decade and beyond.
The Draft Chippenham Site Allocations Plan outlines proposed strategic sites to ensure the delivery of housing and employment growth for the town by 2026. It has been developed taking into account the extensive consultation previously undertaken as part of the council's Core Strategy which was formally adopted by the council last month.
The overall level of growth proposed to be allocated is 2,500 new homes and approximately 28 hectares of employment land on three mixed use site allocations.
The proposed developments, together with existing commitments, will enable: early delivery of employment land; delivery of housing to be maintained at reasonable rates across the remaining plan period; completion of an eastern link road between the A350 to the North and the A4 to the south of Chippenham alleviating traffic within the town centre; new schools and country parks focused on the River Corridor.
Cllr Toby Sturgis, cabinet member for strategic planning, said: "This is exciting news for Chippenham. These robust plans will ensure future growth in the town. Development will be focused towards the town's least sensitive areas in terms of landscape and ecology, and there will be improved access to significant areas of open space for the town via the river corridor. The housing development will be phased to allow completion of critical pieces of transport infrastructure helping tackle congestion within the town."
A public consultation period will now be held, running for six weeks from 23 February.

I thought I had stayed in some great resorts in the past, but nothing compared to this. Everything was as close to perfect as you could get.
The staff were without exception incredibly friendly and very professional.
The room was not as big as I have had in other places, but it was ceratinly very adequate for us, very tastefully decorated, cleaned impeccably and had all of the touches of luxury you would expect. The private pool was large and stunning first thing in the morning or late at night - the main pool was huge and right next to the beach, also amazing!
The two restaurants both served high quality food and the location couldn't be beaten - the only minor criticism would be the cost of wine, but this seems pretty consistent at any good restaurant in Thailand.
The only other issue that several other people have raised is about the beach being rocky in the water rather than sandy - we didn't see this as an issue at all as there was a jetty to take you over the rocks to a beautiful pontoon on the other side and in fact they provided some great snorkelling right off the beach when the tide was in.
The resort was completely full when we were there, but it didn't feel like it all - so many people obviously stayed in their own villa with the private pool.
I can't recommend this place highly enough - it is expensive, but worth every cent. We willd definitely be returning, and hopefully next time with a group of friends!

The National Emphysema Treatment Trial studied lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) for its effects on gas exchange, breathing pattern, and dyspnea during exercise in severe emphysema.
Exercise testing was performed at baseline, and 6, 12, and 24 months. Minute ventilation (V̇e), tidal volume (Vt), carbon dioxide output (V̇co2), dyspnea rating, and workload were recorded at rest, 3 min of unloaded pedaling, and maximum exercise. Pao2, Paco2, pH, fraction of expired carbon dioxide, and bicarbonate were also collected in some subjects at these time points and each minute of testing. There were 1,218 patients enrolled in the study (mean [± SD] age, 66.6 ± 6.1 years; mean, 61%; mean FEV1, 0.77 ± 0.24 L), with 238 patients participating in this substudy (mean age, 66.1 ± 6.8 years; mean, 67%; mean FEV1, 0.78 ± 0.25 L).
At 6 months, LVRS patients had higher maximum V̇e (32.8 vs 29.6 L/min, respectively; p = 0.001), V̇co2, (0.923 vs 0.820 L/min, respectively; p = 0.0003), Vt (1.18 vs 1.07 L, respectively; p = 0.001), heart rate (124 vs 121 beats/min, respectively; p = 0.02), and workload (49.3 vs 45.1 W, respectively; p = 0.04), but less breathlessness (as measured by Borg dyspnea scale score) [4.4 vs 5.2, respectively; p = 0.0001] and exercise ventilatory limitation (49.5% vs 71.9%, respectively; p = 0.001) than medical patients. LVRS patients with upper-lobe emphysema showed a downward shift in Paco2 vs V̇co2 (p = 0.001). During exercise, LVRS patients breathed slower and deeper at 6 months (p = 0.01) and 12 months (p = 0.006), with reduced dead space at 6 months (p = 0.007) and 24 months (p = 0.006). Twelve months after patients underwent LVRS, dyspnea was less in patients with upper-lobe emphysema (p = 0.001) and non–upper-lobe emphysema (p = 0.007).
During exercise following LVRS, patients with severe emphysema improve carbon dioxide elimination and dead space, breathe slower and deeper, and report less dyspnea.

Anna: Cinema TripMature
I felt as though a weight had been lifted from my shoulders after my long talk with Nancy, I brought about thirty pounds worth of shopping and headed back up to my flat. I unpacked the food into the fridge and then shoved a microwavable meal in to cook. It was nothing on a meal out which I knew Cara, Sam and her mum would be currently enjoying but a microwaveable meal would be enough for me.
Once it was cooked I settled myself down on the sofa, tucked one leg under my and moved my mouse to check facebook on my laptop whilst eating. I scrolled to Cara's facebook to find it flooded with messages wishing her a happy birthday, the most current being from her old dance teacher Amy.
Happy Birthday Cara, I hope you have a lovely day! X
I smiled as I flicked through her facebook messages, she had so many friends, so many people that care about her and yet she doesn't notice the one person who cared about her more life itself. I sighed and shut my laptop, deciding that I shouldn't dwell on things I can't change as it was a waste of energy.
Night was drawing in, and as I was getting tired I decided that I would hit the hay or have a sleep for several hours to get rid of the wave of tiredness that had hit me, as moving housing was a tiring ordeal. Before pulling the blackout curtains across, I looked out across the park and saw it lit by lamps that were glowing an orange colour as though they had just been turned on. I spotted a runner who was running at a steady pace around the park and it made me think how nice it would be revising, running, or doing anything in the park on a beautiful sunny day. A sudden idea hit me and I pulled my phone and text Cara.
Hey Cara, Just wondering if you fancied going to the park opposite my new flat at some point to chill out or for a jog? I hope your birthday is going well chick xx
I pressed the send button and waited for her to reply and while I waited I clambered into bed still fully dressed and, switching on my side light and turning off my main light. My phone blipped it response and I grabbed my phone to read Cara's reply.
Don't know when I will be free. Birthday is going fine. Cx
My brow knitted into a frown at her very short response but then she was with her mum and Sam so wouldn't want to be rude by texting in their company. On that note, I switched off my phone so that I wouldn't be disturbed and read a book that I had not finished reading until I felt tired.
It was a very different experience waking up in my studio flat, the blackout curtains made it seem much earlier than it actually was and it was only when I looked at the clock and saw that it was half past nine in the evening, so I decided to get back up and find something to do until it was actually time to sleep. I decided to get some food.
I poured myself some cereal and perused to my favourite radio station Galaxia Radio, and switched it on so that I could listen to it whilst eating. I wasn't really paying attention at first as it was just playing songs but I tuned in when the news came on. I liked keeping up with the news.
After I had eaten I decided that I would ring, Ali, Megan and Cara to see if they fancied going to the cinema to see a film, I wasn't sure what was in the cinema currently but I just fancied a trip out with my friends. Ali and Megan both picked up and agreed but Cara said she had other things planned, (things that she obviously didn't want me to know about as she didn't go into detail.)
Oh well, my world didn't just revolve around Cara.

ASX mFund settlement service clears regulatory hurdle - .PDF file.
By Tony Dhar and Jacki Wang
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) issued Class Order [CO 13/1621] on 7 January 2014 to exempt responsible entities (REs) from the application form requirements of section 1016A.
Subject to certain conditions, REs who use the mFund settlement service will be permitted to issue interests in simple managed investment schemes in response to electronic applications made through mFund.
