text: Team USA Moves Up In Finland Mark Kariya | August 10, 2011The demanding course and sometimes treacherous conditions at the 86th International Six Days Enduro in Kotka, Finland, took a toll on Day Two, though Team USA benefitted quite a bit.Fred Hoess, who excels in the tough stuff, is top American Club rider so far.Due to a day of solid performances by all six Americans on the U.S. World Trophy team as well as attrition hitting the Australians, Team USA now sits in third place. Finland continues to stretch its lead with Spain in second place, over 10 minutes behind. The U.S. is 22-plus minutes behind the host nation with Kurt Caselli still leading the E2 division, though he slipped slightly in the overall individual standings to fourth behind E3 leader Marko Tarkkala of Finland. Russell BobbittTeam USA Trophy rider Russell Bobbitt helped the team move up to third.Two-time GNCC champion Juha Salminen of Finland, who's second in E1 to teammate Eero Remes, reminded all that there's still a long way to go and individual glory doesn't mean much, though. "Of course it would be nice to win the overall [individual title], but it's still a team race," he pointed out. "Every rider on the team needs to go fast, as fast as you can, but there's no place for craziness. You have to think, 'It's a team race' and take no big risks. The situation where we are now, with a good lead, our goal is just to keep all together – all the bikes and the guys together. We just need to concentrate and not make too many mistakes."In other words, this will be a survival race – but that's something that America has traditionally been good at.Max Gerston leads the top U.S. Gofasters.com Club Team.It was, however, the U.S. Junior World Trophy team that really vaulted up in the standings; after finishing seventh on Day One, they're now in fourth place behind Sweden, France and Great Britain.Unfortunately, the good luck didn't carry over to the American women. While Kerry Schwartz was allowed by a jury decision last night to continue, neither she nor Mandi Mastin made it to the finish so all three American women are now spectators. France got all three of its women in to finish the day nearly 50 minutes ahead of Finland, which is just five seconds ahead of Sweden.Mark Kariya | ContributorKariya spends way too much time in the desert, but we're glad he does as he's the man who gets us our coverage of all things sandy.

<< chamaecyparis pisifera 'SunGold.' >>
Bonnie, I love the thread or fern like foliage on many of the chamaecyparis.
I have several and find them easy to prune to maintain a smaller form that
works better in my garden. I just got a new catolog yesterday from Spring
Meadow Nursery (wholesaler) and they list Sungold at 30-36" assuming they are
speaking of height. One of our local conifer growers list EMS at 2' x 2' however
Mo Bot Gardens site lists height at 3-8' & spread at 4-12'. They do maintain
their yellow color well, also.

Assigning NCAA tournament game times still a puzzle for CBS and Turner
After the NCAA creates its men's basketball tournament brackets, broadcasters create the tip times.
And until this year that involved juggling, like trying to avoid teams from the same conferences or TV markets playing simultaneously because viewers might miss what they wanted to see because all the action came from CBS.
Now, with all games aired in their entirety on CBS or on Turner Broadcasting's TBS, TNT or truTV cable channels, and with more time between tips likely to create less overlapping action, scheduling is simpler.
But not as simple as putting any game in any time slot. Thursday and Friday games adjacent to one another in the brackets and being played at the same sites could be scheduled for either afternoons or prime time but had to stay together in a given time slot. So scheduling, suggests CBS programmer Mike Aresco, remains a puzzle.
There are the usual mandates to avoid overlapping games involving teams from the same regions, such as Pitt and West Virginia or Texas and Texas A&M. Brigham Young — with Jimmer Fredette — vs. Wofford might have been a good draw in CBS' later prime-time slot Thursday. But that would have meant putting the other game in that Denver doubleheader — St. John's-Gonzaga — in the early slot. But that would have left St. John's overlapping with Connecticut (playing Bucknell), which CBS wanted to avoid because both have appeal in the Northeast. Says Aresco: "You can't overstate how big it is to have St. John's back in the tournament."
Scheduling was a CBS-Turner collaboration. "Everybody got something because the cumulative rating is what's being sold" to advertisers, Aresco says. "We didn't worry about (announcers) until we finished the entire process." That will lead to situations that might surprise viewers, such as CBS lead announcers Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg calling Duke (vs. Hampton) on Friday afternoon on truTV. Says Turner executive Lenny Daniels on games on truTV, which reaches 91 million households vs. CBS' 116 million: "You needed four networks to physically put all the games on. … Overall, we'll grow total NCAA viewers by double digits."
CBS/Turner this year likely will get lower game ratings, as audiences for various games are no longer packed into single TV windows, but higher overall viewership — especially with brand names North Carolina, UCLA and Michigan that missed the tournament last year. Says Aresco: "This year, you got everybody you want."

InterContinental hotels is to create 160,000 jobs by 2014, half of them in China, the world's biggest hotel company said yesterday.
Plans to open 1,300 new hotels worldwide over the next three years were announced alongside half-year financial results showing a return to profit at the company, which includes the Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza chains.
Net profit for the six months to the end of June came in at $141m (£89.3m), compared with last year's $29m loss, thanks to strong growth in business customers, particularly in Asia. Revenue rose by 6 per cent to $772m. Revenue per available room – the hotel industry's standard metric – rose by 3.9 per cent overall, and by 7.4 per cent in the second quarter.
The company said it would increase its dividend by 5 per cent. Andrew Cosslett, the chief executive, added: "Asia is leading the recovery."

- Dealing with fleas and ticks is a fact of life for close to three-quarters (74 percent) of America's cat and dog owners who say their pets have had fleas or ticks at least once.
- More than three-quarters (77 percent) of pet owners don't know that only 5% of the flea population can be seen, leaving 95 percent of the infestation to be practically invisible because they are at the microscopic flea egg, larva and pupa stages.
- Over the last few years, more than one third (35 percent) of pet owners have made changes to their pet's care due to the economy. Specifically – more than one in three (37 percent) of these pet owners say the economy has caused them to rely less on vets when it comes to flea and tick prevention.
- More than one in five (22 percent) admittedly imperfect pet parents agree they'd feel like better cat and dog owners if they could save their pets and household from the threat of fleas and ticks in their household.
WALNUT CREEK, Calif., May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As weather warms and triggers the onset of flea and tick season, nearly half (45 percent) of pet owners say they want to treat infestations themselves rather than make a trip to the veterinarian, according to a new Kelton survey released today by Adams™ products, a pet care brand in the Central Garden & Pet portfolio. This growing do-it-yourself (DIY) mindset is challenging for the majority of pet owners (73 percent) surveyed who admit they are not completely confident that they know the best way to treat and prevent the entire flea life cycle. Adding to the frustration, 81 percent report their first pass at a solution was ineffective as fleas and ticks reappeared. The brand is rolling out its award-winning pet, home and yard solutions, including the 2013 Pet Product of the Year Adams™ Smart Shield ® Applicator and a new interactive website, to empower savvy pet owners looking for smart and easy ways to tackle pesky fleas and ticks on their own. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130506/LA07553) The success of the Adams™ product innovations are in keeping with other DIY pet trends revealed by the Kelton survey, including:

Lampard, 34, was set to leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires in the next four months but the Blues are now willing to offer him a new contract.
Lampard, who earns £160,000 a week at Chelsea, is likely to get a wage-cut in his new contract according to Chelsea's policy of not offering improved contracts to players above the age of 30. But that policy was overturned for Ashley Cole, who is believed to offered nearly £200,000-a-weekover a period of 12 months.
Meanwhile, the England veteran scored the winner against Brazil at Wembley and has been in top form in the Premier League scoring 10 goals so this season, just five away from Bobby Tambling's record of 202 for the club.
Chelsea's U-turn to offer Lampard with a new contract has also come from fans pressure against the decision to let him leave.
Lampard has been given permission to negotiate with clubs and has been linked with a move to either China, the Middle East and LA Galaxy. The MLS club are ready to offer Lampard a lucrative two-and-a-half-year contract.
But the veteran midfielder has always wanted to stay at the club and the prospect of playing in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. England manager Roy Hodgson mentioned there are more chances of selecting Lampard in his 23-man squad if he stays in England.
"I understand where I am in my career, but if I can continue playing for Chelsea then I am getting nearer to 100. It's certainly a target for me and, yes, I will try to keep playing at a good enough level to get there, " Lampard, who has 94 caps for his country, said.
Since joining Chelsea from West Ham United in 2001, Lampard has won three Barclays Premier League titles and helped the club win the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the club's history.

Madam President, I rise today to congratulate my friend Russ Ramsey as he completes his successful tenure as the chairman of the Board of the George Washington University. After 15 years on the board of trustees--six as chairman--uss will step down this June. Over the last few years he has overseen the remarkable growth and success of GW and worked to focus the institution on opportunities in Virginia, throughout the region, and around the globe. He has presided over a renewal in GW's commitment to their Virginia Science and Technology Campus. That campus now totals more than 100 acres and includes 17 research laboratories in areas such as high- performance computing, renewable energy, and computational biology. Perhaps most importantly, it is the home to GW's new School of Nursing--the first of GW's 10 schools to be located in the Commonwealth. Chairman Ramsey has overseen the creation of a Virginia committee of the board of trustees, the development and acquisition of new buildings on the VSTC, innovative partnerships with institutions like the Textile Museum, and the redevelopment of Barcroft Field in collaboration with Arlington County. [[Page S3025]] Beyond GW's efforts in Virginia, Chairman Ramsey has worked to elevate GW to the status of a world-class institution leading the search for GW's 16th president, Dr. Steven Knapp, overseeing a remarkable growth in fundraising, and guiding GW to make new investments in scientific research, technology transfer and entrepreneurship. Russ Ramsey is himself a successful entrepreneur, having built multibillion-dollar businesses primarily in the fields of investment banking and money management. He is most widely known as cofounder of Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group. In 2001, he founded Ramsey Asset Management, a long/short equity hedge fund based in McLean, VA, where he is chairman, CEO, and CIO today. He attended the George Washington University School of Business on a baseball scholarship and earned his bachelor of business administration in 1981. He is a native Washingtonian and lives with his wife Norma and their four children in Northern Virginia. Through the W. Russell and Norma G. Ramsey Foundation, they are actively committed to philanthropic causes dedicated to at-risk families through education and health programs. The Ramseys are founding investors of Venture Philanthropy Partners, which has invested nearly $80 million in nonprofits in the greater Washington area over the last 10 years. Please join me in congratulating my friend Russ Ramsey for all of his contributions to the George Washington University, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the greater Washington region. ____________________

text: Jason Garrett proves to be great hire for Cowboys By Mac Engel / McClatchy Newspapers Tuesday, November 29, 2011 - Added 2 days ago IRVING, Texas — With all due respect to the head coaches in Green Bay and San Francisco, the 2011 NFL coach of the year works at Valley Ranch. The national pundits are going to argue for the guy in San Francisco who has turned that Bay wreck into the second-best team in the NFC, and Alex Smith into a passable NFL starting quarterback. Well done, sir. The argument against Red as coach of the year is that the Cowboys haven't beaten anybody. Fair point. Of the Cowboys' seven wins, only but one has come against a team that boasts a winning record — Jim Harbaugh's 49ers. But in a league filled with nobodies the Cowboys are beating them. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/...at_hire_for_cowboys/srvc=sports&position=also

Monday MorningMature
Chad awoke early that morning to find Christine sleeping while sitting on the floor next to the couch. He frowned and picked her up, taking her back to her bed. He made coffee and some eggs, saving half for her. Grabbing his bag and noting that she was still sleeping, he walked past the bed to the only bathroom in the apartment and freshened up. It only took him ten minutes, and we came back, Christine was sitting on the couch with her coffee. He sat down next to her and began putting on his socks.
"How do you feel this morning?" He asked, as if it were just another morning's pleasantries.
She looked at him, her eyes swollen and puffy, and gave him a very small smile. "I am not sure. Only the day will tell." She pulled her coffee up to her mouth as an excuse to not say any more.
He patted her leg- his way of being encouraging. "Come on, you need to get ready so that I can take you to work." He stood up and headed back to the kitchen.
"I do not think I will go today." She heard his stop and turn back towards her. Tilting her head towards him, Christine saw him giving her a look that made it clear that he hoped he misheard her but annoyed, knowing that he had. He siged heavily, then closed his eyes, contemplating how to move forward with this. His voice was calm when he replied.
"Christine, you have to go to work. I know that you have had a rough week, but responsibility is a big deal in life. You got in a car accident. It was your fault. I do not even know what happened yesterday, but you do have to go to work and you do have to continue on with your routine and with life. It is the only way to get through this with dignity and do it in a speedy way. I am here to support you and help you out, but you are going to need to be strong and dedicated to getting things done, yourself. You can be strong. I know that you have the ability and the personality and the strength. And we will do it together. We can be a team." As he spoke, he had come back to the couch, removing the coffee cup from her hands and holding them. She looked at his face as he spoke, but mostly remained expressionless, not responding when he was finished. He smiled at her and embraced her, giving the side of her head a sweet kiss. "Okay?"
Again she did not respond; did not nod her head, squeeze his hands, or return his smile. Looking at him, she realized that he was the only reason that she had the life she did. Not really knowing what to do with this information, she nodded in an auto pilot sort of way and stood up, brushing past him and heading for the privacy of the shower. He watched her, his annoyance turning to frustration. After she left the room, he went to the kitchen and cleaned up, putting her uneaten eggs in a tupperware to take in the car. He tried not to think about why she was being so frustrating. He tried to tell himself it was all because of the accident, and once things were taken care of, they could return to normal.
Fifteen minutes later, he was ready to leave and Christine had not yet come out of the bathroom. He coul hear the shower still running, but the bedroom door was also closed. Chad waited another five minutes, then went through the bedroom and knocked on the bathroom door.
When Christine heard the knock, she was completely startled. Fro the past twenty minutes, she had been sitting at the end of the bathtub with the water running on her toes so that it would not wet the neck brace. The entire time, she had been starting into space, disconected from reality. Another knock came and startled her again, and Chad's voice came, calling her name.
"Christine? Christine, we need to go soon."
She siged and cleared her throat. "Just a minute."
"I will be out in a minute." She said louder, pulling on the side of the bathrub to help herself get up, and leaning around the water to turn it off. She heard the door to her bedroom close and tried to come back to reality. Without really thinking about it, her body got up and she went to the mirror, using a washcloth to finish washing up, brushed her teeth and pulled her hair back. She went and grabbed black slacks out of the closet and a button up shirt so she did not have to work around the neck brace. Slipping on some shoes, she left the room.
Chad was sitting at the dining room table, drumming his fingers on the surface. His eyes furrowed a bit when she came out, but he kept his comments to himself. Her clothes were wrinkled and she looked pale without makeup or jewelry. But he was afraid that anything he said might send her back into withdrawal, if indeed she had come out of it yet. Instead, he stood up, sent a tight smile, and handed her a coffee mug.
"Let us go, if you are ready." He raised his eyes at her, wiating for a response. She only blinked at him, went to the pick up her phone and purse, and went out the door that he had opened. Chad locked the door, then handed her her keys, leading the way down to the car.
Once they were buckled in and on their way, Chad siged. "Christine... I am really frustrated. You need to talk to me- or something, because I really want to depend on you. What can I do to hlep you this morning? I do not feel like you are even here."
She tried to look at him, but the brace was so bulky that she could not move. She siged audibly. "I do not know, Chad." She allowed the annoycane to seep into her voice, as well. Between not really understanding herself and being frustrated with the cast, as well as knowing that Chad was trying to come to terms with the same things she was, Christine was a mess. A ball of emotional turmoil. "I really just do not feel like talking abou tit right now."
He gripped the stearing wheel a little tighter. He was not a man of anger but could become upset over the things that he did not understand. His speech was a little choppy as he attempted to change the subject a little bit, "Okay. Well. Um, I will be dropping you off at work for a few hours. Your mom is picking you up at one to take you to get lunch and then to take you to the hospital to get your doctor's appointments taken care of. Then she is going to take you to go pick up Michael this afternoon. Is that going to work for you?"
He was being short with her, which was certainly rare. She thought how she regretted seeing him like this, knowing it was her fault entirely.
"Can you tell me what happened yesterday, at least?" She thought about it sincerely. What could she say? What DID happen yesterday? Finally she gave in a little, speaking in an autonous voice.
"The police officer came by the apartment. He told me that the accident was my fault entirely, so the report will show that, and I should probably get a lawyer to protect myslef."
"The police officer came to your apartment!?" She continued, ignoring his interuption.
"Then I went to the hospital to meet the kid. His name is Steven. He was really hurt and got really upset when I tried to apologize."
"You did what? Christine, why did you not call me? I..." Again she interrupted his outburting questions.
"So later I got a phone call from Tim. And we went out for coffee."
"And apparently the kid's mom works there. She slapped me and Tim took me to the hospital." She stopped talking and stared out the window. He could not believe what he had just heard.
Christine." He huffed and shook his head, not looking at her, since he was stil driving. "I can not believe you did not tell me any of this. ALL of that happened yesterday? How did you get to the hospital? I mean... who the hell is Tim?" Chad was absolutely flabergasted, not just by the details of her day, but also by the manner in which she had told him. Like there was no big deal.
"Tim is the guy who pulled me out of my car at the accident," was all she replied.

DING! His communicator chimed into his ear. "It's here, Captain," Lieutenant Fletcher observed nonchalantly as a small dot suddenly materialized on the monitor before him from his station aboard the mercenary starship SS Estrange. To keep a better eye, he switched the data feed to his personal com and watched as familiar rings of pulsating color radiated from the green speck before fading into oblivion near the edges of his vision. Twisting to face his superior, he discovered the captain was already looking at him expectantly. "Should I send order to the boarding party?" Fletcher asked dryly as he met the pair of watching eyes with a pair of his own.
"No," the large man responded flatly from his own station overlooking the entire upper command of his ship. The captain, uniform more complex than his lieutenant's yet not as well kept, paused, taking a few moments to examine the feed playing itself out on his own personal com, then continued. "I think we'll wait until they're safely within range before letting them know we're here," he said, eyes twinkling with traces of humor and a smile twitching at the edges of his lips. "I'd hate to have them escape just because we got overly excited."
"Yes... I suppose that wouldn't help us out any. Especially since I doubt our employers would tolerate any incompetence on our part," Lieutenant Fletcher pointed out, more as a subtle reminder about the parameters of their mission than anything else.
"True, but I'm not really concerned with them," the captain countered, completely oblivious of his subordinates hint. "I'm more worried about the cargo on board than with their oh-so-precious ship," he sneered. "For all I care, it could be blown into smithereens after we got done looting it. That is, if our reports are accurate about what is actually on board. According to the manifests we were given, there's some pretty expensive stuff and I intend to seize it for ourselves before handing over the prize."
Fletcher felt a wave of dread flow through him and a shiver ran down his spine. That would be your attitude, wouldn't it? he thought to himself as he simply nodded in mock agreement with the captain. I don't suppose it even crossed your mind to take the ship's crew into consideration. Why should it? There's not much in it for you to keep them alive, besides our very specific orders. Fletcher frowned. Well, I suppose at least money can keep you in check, if nothing else.
"Anyways, I'd say about 10 minutes. You agree, Fletcher?" the Captain asked as he glanced over, obviously unaware of his second-in-command's inner thoughts.
"Looks about right," Fletcher said, hesitating briefly to internally calculate the speed and distance of the oncoming ship. "I'll ready the guns."

Hollywood film production in 'bad spiral' as competition bites
By Tim Reid
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Three days before the Oscars, the Los Angeles film czar and a think tank delivered some damning news to Tinseltown: Hollywood's status as the home of American film and television production is threatened because places like New York are offering better financial incentives to studios.
The study of employment and production data released on Thursday by the Milken Institute, an economic think tank, says California has lost tens of thousands of entertainment jobs to New York and other U.S. states in the past decade, and film and television productions with them.
While it may be one of the best years for high-quality film in recent memory, with nine strong films nominated for the best picture Oscar, just one of the nine was filmed in California.
Ken Ziffren, a veteran California attorney recently appointed as Hollywood's film czar by the mayor of Los Angeles, said the report showed Hollywood was in a "bad spiral," both in terms of jobs and productions leaving California.
Ziffren repeated a call for an expanded California film and tax credit, as did the Milken report - an issue that is politically controversial.
Proponents say it is vital to keep middle-class jobs and film production in the state. Opponents say wealthy Hollywood studios don't need another tax break and question whether further financial incentives will produce a net gain in jobs and revenue.
The report by the Milken Institute, headquartered in Santa Monica, California, but with a national and international perspective, said California lost 16,137 film and TV industry jobs between 2004 and 2012, based on U.S. Labor Department statistics.
During the same period, the report said, New York state gained 10,675 entertainment jobs. Continued...

Qube Global Software Customer Conference attracts record 350 customers | 10 October 2014
Our annual Customer Conference took place last week (2nd October) at King's Place in London and again proved an overwhelming success – attracting a total of around 350 customers in all, a record attendance for the event.
The day kicked off with a presentation from Qube Global Software CEO John Cuppello, who talked about continued improved performance and our recent acquisition of New Zealand's premier property management software provider Vision Software. He was followed by key note speaker and the Times' Associate Editor Lord Daniel Finkelstein OBE. Separate product update presentations by the staff of Qube, Horizon, Planet and Qube SLM completed the morning's schedule.
We welcomed further expert speakers in the afternoon, with presentations from Andrew Bulmer (UK Residential Director, RICS), Ion Fletcher (British Property Federation), Chris Hoar (Building Futures Group), Neil Selby (Essentia), Jess Stevens (GVA) and our very own Dusty Duistermars. Additional product sessions followed before the event officially closed.
Our interactive iZone, where customers were able to discuss and use the products with our staff, proved very popular and offered useful hints and tips throughout the day.
"The conference was a fantastic success and it was great to attract a record attendance," comments John Cuppello, our CEO. "I spoke to many of our customers throughout the day and received nothing but positive feedback and goodwill. We are already looking forward to next year."
The event is a key part of our event calendar and follows last year's Customer Conference at the same venue.
If you are interested in our suite of property, space and facilities management solutions and/or would like any more information about our annual Customer Conference, complete our contact form or email us on email@example.com.

Allergy Relief with Salt Therapy
Salt therapy. It's all the rage. Even Dr. Oz speaks of its healing values, and businesses are popping up everywhere.
Inhaling microscopic particles of dehumidified, ground, pure salt, according to people who have enjoyed salt therapy, is amazing at clearing away the congestion of allergies, and even controlling asthma. Immersing yourself in salt particles detoxifies skin and improves eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
Some businesses are in caves with walls of Himalayan salt, said to be the purest form. Most are rooms with chambers that look like tanning beds.
That's what Lisa Cobb has at her business Luxury on Lovers in Dallas.
"We take pharmaceutical salt, and there's a grinder that grinds it into a powder, and then it blows it into the chamber in little micro-particles that you breathe in. So you actually get a benefit for your lungs, your entire respiratory system, and also your skin," Cobb tells KTRH News.
There are several spas in North Texas that offer salt therapy.
In Houston, Michelle DeRouen owns Float Houston Health and Wellness, which offers a different kind of salt therapy using Epsom salt. She says floating in one of her chambers is like floating on the Dead Sea.
"There is 250 gallons of water, and 800 lbs of Epsom Salts. They also call it the zero gravity effect, so when you get in you float on the top, like a cork," says DeRouen. "The water is heated to skin temperature so after about five minutes you can't feel the water any more. It just feels like you are floating in mid-air."
DeRouen says your aches and pains float away. Customers with fibromyalgia find it especially soothing.
Most doctors tell you to swear off salts. But not this kind.

Harry's still wild about his charity work in Africa: doccie
Britain's Prince Harry stars in a Christmas TV documentary about Lesotho' 12 years after he first visited the country.
The film' to be screened by ITV in the UK on December 19' follows Harry's return to the impoverished kingdom to continue the work of Sentebale' a charity he set up in the country a decade ago.
In an interview with news anchor Tom Bradby' the prince will talk about starting the charity' his passion for the future of his work in Africa' and how he is determined to use his unique position to do good' MailOnline reports.
The film charts 32-year-old Harry's journey back to Lesotho last year and in 2014. It follows his "unforgettable adventure" to remote locations with "his deeply personal aim of discovering the stories that he wants to tell to the world"' according to ITV.
The programme also captures the moment Harry was reunited with Mutsu' a teenager who was orphaned by Aids' whom the prince first met when Mutsu was four and with whom he has remained in regular contact.
MailOnline reported that Harry will be shown getting his hands dirty helping out with the charity's work.
Sue Murphy' ITV's head of factual entertainment' said the documentary showed Harry's transition from "boy to man".
"It's fascinating to observe Prince Harry from boy to man' to see him following in his mother's humanitarian footsteps and to witness his undeniable commitment and passion for his work in Africa'" she said.
The prince set up Sentebale' which means forget-me-not' in memory of his mother Diana' Princess of Wales in 2006. Next year marks the 20th anniversary of her death in a car crash.
Russ Malkin' of Big Earth Productions which produced the programme' described the prince as being "clearly so relaxed and candid about his commitment to his work in Africa".

Akiko gets in trouble.
I look at the new girl and see one of the most beautiful familiars at her side a white silver fox. "Your familiar is so beautiful, it suits you. Doesn't it Kai? Kai?"
I stopped in my tracks and I said " I forgot Kai," then at the realization at what I just said, I said it a bit louder not being able to believe that I just forgot.
Kuro looks at me so confused "Akiko, what do you mean?"
Tears begin forming in my eyes " I forgot KAI!!!! I can't believe I forgot Kai"
The new girl asks "Who is Kai? Her boyfriend?"
"As if I would get a boyfriend, as if I could get a boyfriend" then remember my mother's words 'you will never be able to be my daughter, ugly duckling.'
Tsuki asks "Akiko how can you forget a familiar? I mean is that even possible?"
Kuro and the new girl starts laughing "Why are you laughing its not funny." I said in a funny voice which makes me laugh until I realize that I am laughing at my own stupidity and how I have to go find Kai.
Kuro stops laughing and says "Well nothing is impossible for Akiko."
I give her my mild angry glare, "Kuro what is that supposed to mean?"
Kuro smiles at me and says "It's a compliment Akiko you can achieve more than us normal witches.
I smile and say "Of course I can, I am not a goodie two shoes. Talking about not being a goodie two shoes I should probably return those two overdue books to the library. "
Tsuki just nods her head, the new girl says "aren't we not supposed to do that?" Kuro looks at the new girl and says "we can't but Akiko can, I don't know how she does it but she always gets away with it."
I said "You probably can't Kuro because you are stuck in one dimension, and don't think about what would happen if you tried out something new."
Tsuki asks " What about Kai?"
I reply "He'll find me, he always does and he's probably used to it right now. It's the fifth time this week."
They all gasp at me. The all look at each other in shock. I smile we seem to be getting along, we might be good friends newbie. After all the girls are done feeling shocked they look at their familiar, and both the new girls familiar looks at her and says "To forget her familiar, please don't follow her example." She simply shakes her head. She seems a bit shy, I wonder why?
My mind started to think about other thing and I don't see where I am walking until I bump into a rock.
"Ouch! Why is there a rock in the academy?"
"He is not a rock." Kuro says, I think.
Angrily I look above me as I say "Wizard can't you even see where …. Kai, my baby."
Kai looks angrily at me and says "you forgot about me again didn't you?"
"No of course not why would I do that." I say sweetly.
"Just like you didn't forget me, the other 10 times this week." Says Kai.
Kuro says shocked "Akiko you said you forgot him 6 times, but 10."
Suddenly a voice behind me says "If you want Kai, then I will have him."
I didn't realize that Kai was on a person shoulder.
"Ok why not?" said Kai, I look at Kai "What!!! Kai you can't go off with this stranger."
"Why not? If you always forget me." I look at Kai shocked and angrily I reply "Well, it's not forgetting if you leave."
The mysterious stranger with Black hair and sapphire eyes said "I will give you Kai back if you go to the dance with me?"
My friends just giggle. Oh dear.
I think of a way to keep Kai and go to the dance with my friends.
"I don't know how to dance." I lie.
"Then I will teach you, and Kai told me that you have a habit of forgetting things so I will keep Kai until we leave the dance together." He says in a silky voice.
Realizing the situation I was in I reply "But the dance is 2 weeks away."
He smiles and replies "I know."
Angrily I reply "THAT'S BLACKMAIL!"
Still smiling he replies "Call it whatever you like; if you aren't my date then I will keep Kai forever."
I smile and say "All right I will go to the dance with you."
"Excellent" He says as he leaves.
"Kai" I murmur softly.
Kuro looks shocked "Akiko do you know who he is?"
I replied "Yeah, why?"
Kuro looks even more shocked " He's the dueling master of the school and one of the top students. His name is Katsu Maki."
I reply "So...?"
Kuro looks like she can't believe me "Any witch would go to the dance with him."
I reply again "So why didn't he ask someone else? Couldn't he simply ask someone else?"
Tsuki says "WOW! You are unbelievable. He likes you."
I am shocked and laugh "What.. that's impossible?"
Kuro replies "Not that impossible it seems."

About one in three (35%) global mobile workers checks their email first thing in the morning before they do anything else, according to an April 2011 report from iPass. Data from the "iPass Global Mobile Workforce Report" indicates another 17% check their email after getting dressed, 13.5% check it after having morning tea or coffee, 10% check it after breakfast and 8% check it when they start their commute.
This means roughly a combined eight in 10 (83.5%) global mobile workers check their email before actually starting work.
The younger the worker, the more likely they will check email first thing in the morning before they do anything else. Forty-four percent of those age 22 to 34 check email first thing, as do 39% of those ages 35 to 54. In contrast, 24% of those over the age of 55 don't check email until they start their workday.
More than half of mobile workers purchased their mobile business applications from an application store, while 34% downloaded them from a PC and 25% had them preinstalled on their smartphone.Less than 20% have access through their browser, but not installed.
For the general mobile worker population, the laptop was the most popular choice for email (44%), video streaming (57%), document editing (87%), web conferencing (74%), and note taking in meetings (47%). However, owning a tablet changes mobile workers' preferences for many of these tasks.
For example, among tablet owners the tablet is the top choice for note taking in meetings (48%) and video streaming (66%). Tablet owners still prefer laptops, but by smaller percentages, for document editing (80%) and web conferencing (64%). For both of these tasks, tablet owners have much higher rates for preferring tablets (15% compared to 8% for document editing and 26% compared to 15% for web conferencing).
Interestingly, tablet owners' top choice for email, by a narrow margin, is the smartphone (35%). Laptop (33%) and tablet (30%) closely follow.
A combined 75% of global mobile workers who own a tablet own an iPad or iPad2, according to other iPass report data. The "iPass Global Mobile Workforce Report" indicates that about 63% of those workers own an original iPad. In a further sign of the stranglehold the iPad has on the global mobile workforce, the next-most-popular tablet brand for mobile workers is "other" (8.7%). The Blackberry Playbook follows with 6.4% penetration.
About the Data: The iPass Mobile Workforce Report is based on information from more than 3,700 responses to an iPass survey of mobile enterprise employees at more than 1,100 enterprises worldwide. The survey was conducted between April 1 and April 15, 2011, and represented employees across multiple age groups and geographies. The survey respondents were asked about their mobile productivity, work habits, and related experiences.

Corby stood frozen, looking between Flamara, the girl and...Elric stood in the mist.
She heard a comment about hot chocolate, but ignored it and grabbed Elric's hand, pulling him out of the room and lunging at him into a tight hug. He gasped in shock as she squeezed him tightly until he turned blue, then she let go and watched him blush.
"Sorry about that, Elric. It's been a while..." she giggled and he grinned, saying nothing.
"Well um...hot chocolate?" he asked. Corby nodded and Flamara and her daughter smiled, turning away and walking down the corridor. Corby and Elric walked the opposite direction to the kitchen.
"How long was I gone?" Corby asked Elric as she stirred her cocoa.
"Quite a while, Leigh and Seleantus have gone..." he turned away.
"She what?-" Elric nodded. "Well...at least I said goodbye. What's going on then? Been any arguments? Any wars or battles?"
"Too be honest, I could ask you that myself. I've been completely lost."

Jozy Altidore is set to join Spanish second division club Deportivo Xerez on loan, while a proposed transfer has been scrapped by both Altidore and Villarreal manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Villarreal general manager Jose Manuel Llaneza revealed to Spanish daily AS on Friday that Altidore's potential transfer to Xerez won't be happening because neither Altidore or Pellegrini wanted it to happen.
"In the beginning it appeared very advanced but utlimately it looks as though neither the head coach or the player were interested in making this change," Llaneza said, referring to a transfer. "Right now I was talking to Xerez, but (Altidore) doesn't want it, nor does the head coach, and like that it is too difficult.
"The club is interested in him playing and proving himself," Llaneza said of Altidore's loan deal. "This wasn't an important move economically, but more a sporting move."
Apologies for the mix-up in translation earlier this morning but Altidore does appear headed for a loan move. The above quotes from Llaneza were regarding a potential transfer of Altidore to Xerez.
Xerez currently sits in first place in the Spanish second division.
What do you think of this development? Are you glad to see him making a move for more playing time? Disappointed he won't take part in the rest of Villarreal's season? Glad to hear that Villarreal wasn't interested in selling him?
Share your thoughts below.
Hi everybody. I´m from Jerez, and a Xerez supporter. I think that it´s a great player that can improve his game at this team. My team (Xerez) is playing so good this year. You can see the links of Xerez matches at http://www.rojadirecta.com. We are playing the best soccer in the Second Division. And, Jerez is not Seville or a great place, but it´s a beautyful town, i think he will be glad to be here, other stranger players were happy to be here, with the people from Jerez. So, my best wishes to everybody who support Altidore.

Definition - What does Ion mean?
An ion is an atom or group of atoms (molecule) whose number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons. An ion is a charged particle due to the unbalanced electron/proton numbers —more protons than electrons leads to a positive charge (anion), whereas more electrons than protons leads to a negative charge (cation).
Techopedia explains Ion
An atom or molecule where electron/proton ratio is not maintained as 1:1 is called an ion. A neutral molecule or atom can be ionized in a number of ways to change its physical and chemical behavior, such as chemical reaction or the loss or gain of electrons. The phenomenon of diodes, which constitutes almost every electronic switch, depend on charged particles or ions. Ions serve in everyday appliances and are a very important part of the function of many electronics. Important devices such as cell phones, batteries, light bulbs, display screens, TVs, microwave ovens and motors make use of ions.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was a senior in high school in 2003, & spray painted a basket ball court with several other seniors. We ran when the police officer came, but some of us came back when he told us to stop. That was the obstruction part. I made restitution and the case ended in nolle prosecute. Now I can't get my record expunged. At least 1 of the other seniors with me has had his record expunged. I know he did not get nolle prosecute, but we used the same lawyer and he also made restitution. I have applied for over 150 jobs and have not been able get any employment. Is there any way I could get pro bono or low cost legal help to apply for a pardon? This was a stupid mistake I made as a teenager, my first and only time I have ever been in any trouble. I would make payments as soon as I am employed.
Your facts do not indicate whether you actually tried to get your record expunged. In GA the prosecutor's office (the DA or Solicitor General) normally has packets in their office for this process. The packets are self explanatory. If you have not completed the packet do soon to get the process started. You need to mention that your co-defendant's record was expunged for the same offense. If you have already applied, apply again and let them know that your co-defendant's charges were expunged by this same office. Best of luck.

Battle of Trenwyth

The Battle of Trenwyth was a battle during the Nagai–Tof conflict of 4 ABY.
The battleEdit
Trenwyth was supposed to be a dead world, but when a large group of Tof suddenly appeared strongly entrenched on the world, the Nagai mounted an attack on their old enemy. The Tof destroyed most of the Nagai force, but there were some survivors, including Wing Leader Taikotelai Akikoma. The battle continued to rage in space. Princess Leia Organa's transport was caught in the crossfire, and forced to make an emergency landing on Trenwyth. There she found an injured Tai and nursed him back to full health, before both parties made their separate ways, leaving the planet in the clutches of the Tof.

A Needed Reminder
I was having a tough night a week ago, and emailed a musician that I greatly admire, with whom I've had previous conversations with.
This is that email.
I figured I may not wait another year to write you again, because to be honest with you, there's no one to really talk to tonight, and life has presented a few speed bumps, one after another. Since we last spoke, lets see...My family life is in a tailspin (thanks to me), my dad passed away (only child), and I lost my job as a GM (not that it was a fulfilling job, but it provided for the family). It's been a little rough to say the least.
So tonight, I'm putting it all on pause for a moment, to relate a story to you. I think it will be a good way for me to focus on some of the brighter things in life, and may also reveal a small bit of this stranger's life to you. Perhaps it will also turn out to be a small gift to you, for all the incredible stories you tell in song. Ok, lets begin...
About 15 years ago, when I was 19, I used to hang out in a place here in Concord NH, that we commonly refered to as "the square" (proper name: Bicentennial Square). About a group of 30 of us would congregate there every day (no jobs), and plan our days (first find pot or drugs, then figure things out...). It was not abnormal for a new face to pop in and out of the square from time to time, and one night, while I was there alone (others were there, but I was not hanging with them), three kids about my age came walking through.
They asked me if I needed any weed, and I did. I asked how much for a quarter and they said 60. I thought that was a good price (after asking about quality), and decided to hoof it along with them. We went about three blocks west and two blocks north before we arrived at the destination. It was a three story house split up into apartments, with a long driveway on the right that went behind the house. One of the guys (ringleader type) said they would be back in a second, and I said that he could go but the other two would have to wait with me. So he left for around 20-30 minutes, it felt longer. I was already suspicious by the time he showed back up to tell me the guy had company and was still weighing it out, but wanted to see and say hi to the other two guys.
I decided one of them could go, but one of them had to stay, which is what happened.
As the two guys walked down the driveway and around back out of sight, I decided to follow from a distance. When I reached the back side of the house, I could see them across the lot, going behind a fence. I told the other kid what I had seen and he came up (meagerly) with some story about how the guy is paranoid and doesnt want strangers around his house when he deals. Though I was starting to get pissed, I was a nice enough guy and let him hold to that. We literally spent the next hour and a half to two hours alone together. If 20-30 minutes felt long...
Over the course of that time, I had become more and more infuriated with the situation. I felt I was now out of money (and by extention pot) but also my night. I never got pissed at the kid I was with directly, partly because he got stuck with me, partly because he was the most quiet of the three, and partly because I knew what was going down, and I knew he knew. So I figured, the nicer I was, the worse he would feel when it was all said and done. Not the best way do use the act of kindness, but I was getting really pissed. Then, on the street the house faces, up pulls a black Jetta with an unknown driver, the "ringleader in the passenger seat, and the other kid in the back. They stop and yell for their last buddy to get in the car.
Once I saw them, I immediately saw red. I made my way to the car before the kid, and prevented him from trying to enter either back door that was being made available to him. So they pulled away and turned right, down the next street. I told the kid that I think they forgot about him, and we started walking towards the turn. After walking a moment after turning, the Jetta pulls up right next to us, and the battle for the back doors ensuse again.
Eventually, the kid gets in the back seat, but the door is open and I have my hand on it.
So there I am, standing on the sidewalk holding the window of this door. See, it was one of those doors that doesn't have a frame all around it, so when it is open, there is no metal bar on top, just window, which is what I'm holding firmly onto. I tell them that if they drive away, I'm taking the window with me, and they can put that money towards a new one. We continue swearing back and forth. At one point the ringleader asks the driver if he should get "it" from the glovebox, then looks at me. I asked if it was a gun and if it was I was going to make him eat it. At another point, the driver gets out and walks around to about 3 feet from me, and I tell him I will rampage through him and every one of them if he gets any closer (I am an unassuming natural athlete type with glasses. I've never been in a fist fight, but I had played violent sports all my life and knew my capabilities, especially feeling as mad as I was.). No gun was ever pulled, and the driver did end up getingt back in his car without physical alternation, but the arguing continued, until.....
Back up a couple months, I had been in a shelter in Oakland with my parents where even pizza delivery person wouldn't go. We went out there for my mom's medical reasons, but things hit the fan and that's where we ended up. It was at that shelter (two weeks) where I went from a person who enjoyed the "melancholy" act of pointing out peoples masks, to exposing the natural, good light behind them, which we all have. There were no "mountains" moved, but miracles of equal magnitude took place. I decided I didn't want to be apart of the negative side of life ever again, and searched for a new path...
Fast forward a couple months, back to NH, back to the night in question, back to holding a window and asking for blood. This was not the path I had just recently set out for. And, you know what, its funny. There never came a moment where I had to ponder whether of not I should be holding the window. Either I wanted to, which I was doing, or I wasn't holding it, which is what I all of a sudden did. The amount of time between rage and clarity, I don't know, it would have to probably be measured with quantum tools, because it was like a blink of an eye. Perhaps my body knew what I was thinking (that flash of connected memories) before "I" did. Either way, it all came to an abrupt end, kind of.....
So I let go of the door and without any hate, or ill will, or any type of sarcasm (In fact, I was smiling, and not a crooked one either), I tell them that I'm done. I say that I know what's going on (oh yeah!, they held on to some story during the whole car argument, about how they didn't have the money and that got ripped off too....) and that I know they have the money. I say that its fine, and to go buy some weed with it and take a few puffs for me. I then shut the door, tap the back of the car, and walk around the back of it, across the street and back towards the square.
As I'm walking away (and they pull away) I'm starting to feel better and better and better. I remember thinking how I couldn't believe how I was acting, after making such a life changing decision a couple months back. Couldn't believe it was just over weed. Yet, feeling better and better with every stride. I get a little ways down the road and there is a christian school tucked into this "city" block, with a sign hanging by the sidewalk, depicting the cross. Now, the cross may not be my favourite symbol of Jesus (a loaf of bread is nice), but it made me smile and remember thinking he must have done those good things because of feelings like I was feeling in that moment (which was odd, since it would be another month before I even gave Jesus a chance in my theological studies.). Not a moment after I have that thought, as I'm smiling and turning my head way from the sign, does the black Jetta cross in front of me and into the schools driveway. I don't remember being worried at all, but I was instantly curious.
They get out of the car and go on to explain how they were ripping me off, and how bad they felt, and hey, here's your money, and it was just so freakin awesome that the hairs on my neck stand up every time I think about it. We all had individual man hugs, and I know I had some tears in my eyes. I think I saw some of the same for them. It was just...awesome. They probably talked to me for 30 seconds or so, but it was all smiles and laughs. If I was super happy walking down the street one minute before, imagine how happy I was after they got back in the car and pulled away (with a beep beep)! I was on cloud 99 that night, and for days and days after. And like in California, this was a true miracle, in my eyes.
Two things about that story. I did leave out that, when they pulled up to say sorry, one person did not leave the car. The kid that hung with me those 2 hours never said a word during the whole car argument portion, nor did he have it in him to get out of the car and say sorry. That always stuck with me. The other thing is, sometimes I wonder about what was said in the car after I closed the door and they pulled away. They must have only driven a couple blocks up and looped back down and around...couple minutes. In that small span of time, they decided to come back. They had no immediate reason, with cash in hand and never to be seen again. Why? I wonder if the quiet one spoke up?
Well, thanks again for your time Craig. Hope you were able to read it....in installments, lol. And even if I'm only writing this last part to myself, it has provided some shelter from the storm outside. But all storms pass, and I hope you enjoyed the story. I have only told that story a few times (probably due to time reasons,lol), when certain people needed to hear a relatable life story. This time, the main objective was not for someone (you) to hear it, but I, who needed to write it. Certainly, a wonderful passing of time.

text: The latest BBC executive to be "recused" from reporting on the Jimmy Savile scandal and its fallout at the corporation is Ceri Thomas, editor of BBC Radio 4's Today. Thomas has been appointed what might best be described as a "prisoner's friend" to Newsnight editor Peter Rippon and will accompany him at various stages of the Pollard inquiry into the shelved report. Others recused from taking responsibility for the way the BBC covers the Savile story include BBC director general George Entwistle, head of news Helen Boaden and her deputy, Steve Mitchell (along with Rippon himself, of course). Editorial coverage of Savile will be led by Radio 5 Live controller Adrian Van Klaveren.

"Jump over the marbles to make them disappear."
Marble Solitaire is a game featuring marbles of the same colour, which you have to make disappear until there is just one left on the board. To remove each marble you have to jump over it (horizontally or vertically) with another, always and only when there is another space available to land in.
What at first glance seems a simple challenge is in fact not so easy. In Marble Solitaire to move the marbles, block others or slow them down is what you have to do, so you need to think about each of your moves. If you make a wrong move, don`t worry, as you can undo it.
In Marble Solitaire you have 25 different boards to choose from. You can even design the board yourself if you get bored of those in the game.

Inge Lønning
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Inge Johan Lønning (20 February 1938 – 24 March 2013) was a Norwegian Lutheran theologian and politician for the Conservative Party of Norway. As an academic, he was Professor of Theology and Rector of the University of Oslo during the term 1985–1992. As a politician, he served as President of the European Movement in Norway, as a Member of Parliament, as Vice President of the Parliament, as Vice President of the Conservative Party, and as President of the Nordic Council.
Lønning was born in Fana, Bergen, Norway. He earned his cand. theol. degree from the University of Oslo in 1962 and finished the practical-theological seminar in 1963. He continued his academic career with a fellowship from 1963 to 1971, with a year's interruption for military service as a chaplain in the Norwegian Navy. He earned his doctorate in theology, also at the University of Oslo, in 1971 and was appointed professor in systematic theology at the University of Oslo the same year.
In 1971, Lønning also started his political career, when he was elected into the Oslo city council for one term and also the city's board of education for eight years.
In 1985 he was elected rector of the University of Oslo, serving until 1992, while maintaining his chair as professor of theology until his retirement in 2008.
Lønning was elected as a member of Norwegian parliament for three terms, from 1997 through 2009. He was (at the time of his death) the president of Lagtinget, was vice president of Stortinget from 2001 to 2005, and also served as a member of several parliamentary committees.
Lønning lost the "safe seat" on third place of the Conservatives' party list in Oslo in the 2009 nomination for the Norwegian Parliamentary elections to Michael Tetzschner, a current member of the Oslo City Council.
He was president of the Nordic Council in 2003, and was awarded honorary doctorates from Luther College and Åbo Akademi University.
He was a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.[1]
His older brother is the former bishop Per Lønning.
He died on 24 March 2013, after he fell ill while cross country skiing at Beitostølen.[2][3]

They opened the door for a ton of later bands that in some cases were musically superior (Radiohead, for one), but they also shed light on a lot of superior bands who influenced them that people outside of college radio weren't very familiar with (like The Pixies and The Melvins).
Say what you want about Cobain, but the dude could write an awesome punk/pop song.
Talking about music always makes me chuckle because so many people can't handle when someone insults a band they like.
I dropped music when the 90s came around because I felt it did nothing but go downhill. It got louder and harder to understand. It seemed good writing just vanished. By the late 90s with the boy bands and such, well, it went to hell. Then American Idol took over and now it's just karaoke which is pathetic.
I've always liked the 80s music, almost all kinds except country. Even some of the 80s I didn't like back in the 80s I like now. There just doesn't seem to be much left these days for those that like anything that isn't formulaic pop.
I swear, Nickelback may be the best band of the past 10 years which is like saying Wilson Valdez is the best player on your team...
