Terry Francona is a candidate for the Cleveland Indians' managerial opening, according to major-league sources. The biggest question is whether he will want the job. Sources say that Francona, 53, already has had preliminary contact with the Indians, the team for whom he worked as a special assistant in 2001. The Indians fired Manny Acta on Thursday and replaced him with interim manager Sandy Alomar, Jr., who also will be a candidate for the permanent position. Meanwhile, Francona is unlikely to get the job that friends say he coveted most if an opening occurred -- the Los Angeles Angels'. What is not known: Whether the Indians could pay Francona a large enough salary to persuade him to leave his job as an analyst for ESPN. Francona, 53, earned an average of $4 million per season in his final deal with the Boston Red Sox. Ideally, he might prefer to join a team that is closer to contention than the Indians. On the other hand, such an opportunity might not come available this ...

Thompson's Tails
Abigail (also known as "Abby") is a sweet 2-year-old female terrier mix. She's good with some dogs -- we don't know about cats. Abby has a lot of energy and loves to play! She looks like a lighter version of "Toto" with her cute, scruffy look and soulful eyes.... that seem to say, "There's no place like home... there's no place like your home" -- so please come by Pet Orphans in Van Nuys and see Abby for yourself. You won't be able to resist her.
Link is a gorgeous black domestic short-hair male kitty... about 6 months old. He loves attention and is "purr-fectly" content to sit in your lap for hours. He gets along with other cats and is very playful.

The Sound of Death
I felt as if I'd been ripped apart, as if my world was crumbling before my eyes.
It gets harder every day, to come to terms with the fact that they're gone. And they'll never come back.
I wrote this on the 27.10.09.
She feels so alone as she looks to the sky,
Day by day she wonders why.
Suddenly, a beautiful sound breaks free.
One voice, one love,
One radiant melody.
This one sound makes her feel so much better,
Although she knows that it won't last forever.
The clouds glaze over,
Rain starts to fall,
Crushing her hopes, her dreams once tall.
She slowly breaks down, beside her bed she kneels,
Wondering what pain and heartache she feels,
But for now, she's thankful,
Of one fact that is true,
Earth was graced with a fallen angel,
And that angel was you.

Visiting Scholar Roundtable: "Emergence of New Donors and Paradigm Shift in International Educational Aid: With Focus on the U.S., Japan, South Korea, and China"
Sponsored by the Sigur Center for Asian Studies
Thursday, August 22, 2013
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The Elliott School of International Affairs
1957 E Street, NW; Suite 503
Washington, DC 20052
As the target year for achieving Education for All (EFA) development goals approaches in 2015, there are growing discussions about the post-EFA agenda in the international community of educational development. Regardless of the magnitude of discourse, this transition from EFA should not be understood simply as a matter of the normative framework. It coincides with fundamental changes in structure, actors, mode of interactions, and practices. As one of the key factors which are driving this paradigm shift, Professor Shoko Yamada will highlight the traditional and non-traditional donors in the Asia-Pacific region comparing their philosophies, decision-making structure, and programs.
Dr. Shoko Yamada is an associate professor of international development and educational policy studies at the Graduate School of International Development at Nagoya University in Japan. Having worked closely with aid providing agencies such as JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency), UNESCO, and the World Bank, she is now leading a multi-national research project on emerging Asian donors. Currently, as a Fulbright Scholar, she is affiliated with Sigur Center for Asian Studies.

Google boss Eric Schmidt said Monday his company's biggest competition as a search engine came from e-commerce giant Amazon, not from its traditional rivals.
In remarks prepared for delivery in Berlin, Schmidt hit back at accusations that Google as the world's biggest search engine enjoyed unchallenged market dominance, saying that the sector was targeting the company on several fronts.
"Many people think our main competition is Bing or Yahoo. But, really, our biggest search competitor is Amazon," he said.
"People don't think of Amazon as search, but if you are looking for something to buy, you are more often than not looking for it on Amazon." He said that while Amazon's main mission was "the commerce side of the equation", the company was essentially "answering users' questions and searches, just as we are".
He added that Google's outsize market position was under constant threat from upstarts and innovators.
"Someone, somewhere in a garage is gunning for us. I know, because not long ago we were in that garage," he said.

Firefox's recent stable release channel version 52.0 update ends NPAPI plugin support for Java, Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Acrobat (Adobe Flash is not affected, however, no support end date for this plugin has been communicated). The impact for Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) customers using Firefox is that even though they have the latest version of Java installed on their system, Firefox will not recognize and load the associated Java plugin.
A morsel of good news for Firefox-EBS users is that a temporary workaround does exist for those who still want to utilize the Firefox browser.

"Iraqi patients would die without dialysis"
November 22, 2010
Some 20 patients are currently treated with dialysis at Kirkuk hospital, in northern Iraq. This number represents just a fraction of those in need.
It is still very difficult to work in Iraq. The security situation improved somewhat in the past two years, but it remains unstable. It is within this troubled environment that Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is trying to assist Iraqis. Among other activities, the medical organisation is lending its support to the hospital in Kirkuk, an oil industry centre in northern Iraq, is disputed between the Kurd and Arab communities.
Iraqis have faced two wars, several years of embargo and seven years of instability and violence, leading to the disruption of the country's health system. The health structures in Iraq suffer from shortages in staff as well as highly over-stretched emergency rooms and operating theatres. Like other countries in the region, diseases such as diabetes and kidney disease, heart disease and high blood pressure are on the rise. Responding to these challenges is doubly difficult for a war-affected country.
In Kirkuk, MSF trains Iraqi staff for specialist care, namely the treatment of renal failure with dialysis. To make up for kidney disease, an artificial replacement – a dialysis machine – cleans up toxins from the patient's blood. This treatment is complex and requires highly-specialized skills. Medical staff needs training for these skills to be brought up to standards. Before the 1991 Gulf war and years of embargo, Iraq had an advanced health care system. MSF's objective – not an unrealistic one – includes plans to increase the capacity of the unit to treat 80 patients on dialysis three times a week.
Patrick Ruedin, a doctor from Sierre, Switzerland, visited Kirkuk in October to assess the level of care being provided there. A nephrologist for more than 25 years, he took part in a number of humanitarian missions in the Middle East and Chad in the 1980s. Here Dr Ruedin shares more about MSF's project in Iraq.
How long did you stay in Iraq?
Patrick Ruedin: A week, including two days in Kirkuk. I already visited back in October 2009 for a first assessment. At the time, the building where the patients were being treated with dialysis was being refurbished. The service was not operational. Some 20 patients have been benefiting from this life-saving treatment since January 2010. The population in the Kirkuk region is around one million people. In Switzerland, for the same population sample we would have 600 patients on dialysis. So much remains to be done.
Is it the role of a humanitarian organisation like MSF to enter such a complicated domain?
The number of patients concerned is indeed very limited. However, they would die if they couldn't get the treatment. One could look at dialysis as an elitist treatment whilst there are more glaring needs, but Iraq has the means of reintroducing this speciality; they just need a bit of a boost. MSF has asked me as a nephrologist to assist as they don't have the expertise in-house, so it is a very interesting partnership. We have just sent 10 dialysis machines to Kirkuk. This equipment was used in Swiss hospitals before. MSF has conducted much-needed training in hygiene and nursing procedures for patient care and is co-ordinating the technical follow-up of the water supply and dialysis equipment.
What are the next steps of the collaboration with Kirkuk hospital?
Now the Iraqi personnel must be trained to provide the best possible care in this advanced domain. As a nephrology specialist and president of the humanitarian commission of the Swiss Society of Nephrology, I will continue acting as the guarantor of the quality of care provided in Kirkuk. I can also act as the link between the Iraqi and Swiss hospitals, in particular with the nephrology service of Geneva's university hospitals where I am a consultant and professor at the faculty of medicine. We are considering boosting contacts, thanks to the Internet in particular. We need this collaboration, especially for certain analysis. To clean a patient's blood, very clean and pure water is required. A dialysis machine uses 30 litres of this water per hour. Yet the most accurate water analysis cannot be done in Iraq and even in Switzerland. Specialized labs are needed.
What were the security conditions during your visit to Kirkuk?
My stay was very short but I didn't notice any particular tension. The trip to the hospital, in the city centre, takes about 15 minutes. MSF doesn't use armed security there as they don't want to be confused as being part of any side of the conflict. There are a lot of different forces present, but on the other hand, it appears calm. In the hospital, the different communities work side by side without obvious problems. It is important to support this hospital because it brings together people from different communities and goes beyond Iraq's recent divisions.
Despite the ongoing conflict in Iraq, which has made it difficult for humanitarian organisations to be present in the country, MSF is striving to provide medical care to the Iraqi people. Since 2006, MSF has implemented programs all over Iraq and also in neighbouring countries such as Jordan and Syria.
As an international medical emergency organisation, MSF strives to provide free medical assistance to communities affected by natural disasters, armed conflicts, disease outbreaks and suffering from a lack of access to health care. MSF offers neutral and impartial assistance regardless of race, religion, gender or political affiliation. MSF is an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1971. Today MSF teams of medical and non-medical staff work in close to 65 countries.
In order to ensure its independence, MSF does not accept funding from any government, religious committees or international agencies for its programs in Iraq. The organisation relies solely on private donations from the general public around the world to carry out its work.

Wanting To Improve The World Starts With Teens Caring About Their Friends
Of course, it's not every teenager who will step forward and get involved. Under the right conditions, however, the desire to change the world can start early on in life. New research published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence shows that caring in friendships stands between apathy and activism, and is directly related to a teen's concern with making a difference.
"Increasing our understanding of adolescents' relationships with friends can help us understand what kind of adults they might become," says Anna-Beth Doyle, Distinguished Professor Emeritus in Concordia University's Department of Psychology and member of the Centre for Research in Human Development. The primary author Heather Lawford, now a faculty member at Bishop's University, completed the study as her doctoral thesis within larger project on adolescent social development and adjustment, led by Doyle and Dorothy Markiewicz, who is now at Brock University.
The study is the first to explore how concern for future generations has its roots in adolescence. The researchers collected yearly responses from 142 teens from ages 13 to 16. The teens were asked to gauge how concerned they were with contributing to the future by responding to statements like "I try to help others by sharing what I've learned in my life," and "Others would say that I have done something special for society."
Teens were also asked to describe their caring relationships with their close friends by reacting to assertions like, "I can tell when my friends need comforting, even when s/he doesn't ask for it," or "When my friend has a problem, I try to help him/her to come up with something to do about it." The researchers found that adolescents who had caring relationships with their friends went on to develop a concern for others beyond their immediate circle. "The real-life experience of caring for friends seems to give teens an abstract model of the importance of offering care to future generations," says Lawford. "Adolescents may learn to apply this empathic concern to the welfare of their community."
The research also explored whether gender played a role in developing care-giving behaviours and friendships. It turned out that the girls in the study reported more care-giving behaviors than boys. However, the results underlined that anyone who valued caring behaviours would develop concern for others in a larger community, regardless of gender.
According to Lawford and Doyle, "This research has an important message for teachers, parents and psychologists involved with adolescents: if we can successfully foster young teens showing care for their friends, we have a good chance of also fostering a desire to leave a positive mark on their community and the world."

The change occurs at the redrawing place, that is, at the bottom or at the top while the unredrawn place remains normal. If I scroll down/up to cover and then uncover the normal place, it wud've change too. This is not happenning with some pdfs though, however fast i try to scroll or zoom in/out.
This is a fresh install and no option was changed. OS is Xp pro. I tried printing the document to paper but the font remains unintelligible.

Chapter 4-Player?Mature
Christina's Point of View:
Finally, Damian and I pulled away from one another, a smile appearing on our faces. I gazed into his deep blue eyes and just found myself getting lost in them. And as I did, I knew I had to kiss him again. I couldn't help it, it was like staring into his eyes, being mesmerised by them made me want to get closer to him. Made me want to just be touching him for as long as possible. And for the second time in moments our lips met, leaving this cool, strawberry taste in my mouth. His mouth moved sensually and slowly against mine, just these gentle strokes, these light brushes, making me want to explore more of him. His hands found my shoulders and he hung onto me for dear life, as if I was the only thing he could hold on to otherwise he'd fall into some big black hole. My arms moved around him, bringing him closer to me, so I could feel his silky smooth skin on mine.
More moments passed and it finally got the better of me. Finally, my instincts decided to intervene and I threw myself away from him. I was stood up, away from the bed, my back to him. My hand on my mouth, worrying about where all this was going, what was this leading to? I was supposed to be having some fresh start. I was supposed to have a boyfriend. Yet here I am cheating on Puck and getting carried away with yet another boy. If I carried on like this I'd be pregnant again in no time! And I couldn't let that happen.
Rory got up off the bed and walked over to me and stood by my side, he took hold of my hand and asked quietly, nervously: "What's the matter?" I looked away from him, trying to not get a glimpse of his deep blue eyes that could make any woman fall in love with them, well, except for Santana it seems. My heart was beating extremely fast, my stomach was fluttering, I felt a little sick, from all the tension, the fear I was feeling. I pulled my hand out from his. "This is wrong." I tell him.
"Well, it feels right to me." Rory's response once again has my heart beating at one hundred miles per hour. I risk a look at him and don't get caught up in his gaze, much to my relief. "I'm cheating on Puck." I state.
"Puck cheats on every girl he's with."
"Were friends."
"We both know it's always been more than that." And finally I risked saying the last part, knowing it was shallow and probably would anger him. "If I go out with you then boom, I will be the most un-cool girl in school."
He looked at me for a moment and I saw the hurt flash in his teal coloured eyes. "And there's me thinking you didn't care anymore." He states and goes to walk towards my door. I quickly chase after him and grab hold of his arm before his hand even touches my door handle. "I'm sorry, it's just you've never had the popular thing, you don't know what it's like."
"I do actually." Even when he was angry he didn't raise his voice and sounded like the sweetest guy. "You don't get shoved into lockers, you don't get dumped in a dumpster and you don't get slushie's in the face. People respect you and think your amazing. I get it, but I didn't think all that was worth dumping a good friend over. Someone who's probably only your real friend. Do you think Puck's going to stick around when some new pretty girl walks through the door? Do you think Brittany's going to talk to you when Santana talks her round? Do you think that those bullies will even care that you're a cheerleader anymore? No. But me, whether your popular, unpopular, homeless, boring, annoying, mean, shallow, completely crazy, it doesn't matter because that is what a true friend is. They pick you up when your down, they don't kick you, which is actually what you've just done to me. So it doesn't matter, we won't do the musical number tomorrow since you obviously want nothing to do with me."
I let him go and he walked out of my bedroom, followed by leaving the house. I was in a state of shock for a long moment and was just watching the door handle which he'd pulled moments ago. I quickly snapped out of it and ran out of the house after him, I followed him down the path. "Rory!" I called, but he didn't turn back. "Rory!" I yelled again and finally caught up with him, I stood in front of him.
"Your right, you're completely right."
"I am?" He asked surprised, suddenly off guard. "Sometimes I get it wrong and…"
"No, everything you said was right, being popular doesn't matter. When we go to school tomorrow, all I want to do is go to Glee club with you and then we can sing the song together."
"Really?" He wondered.
"Really." I agreed. "Now I'd really appreciate it if you came back in the house and we could get on well and have some pizza."
"Pizza sounds good." Rory smiles, showing off his white teeth.
We both then walk in the direction of my home, next to one another. "You better have no funny business this time." I state to him.
"Funny business?" Rory asks.
"No kissing me this time."
"I think you'll find it was the other way round."
"Actually you kissed me."
"At the same time?" Rory offered.
"Fine, we kissed at the same time, but you leaned in first."
"No, I saw you staring into my irresistible eyes." I rolled my eyes at his comment and we went into the flat and spent the evening together eating pizza, talking and laughing. And indeed this time there was no funny business.
The next day came too quickly, as all days that are good end too fast. And before I knew it I was retracing my steps down the McKinley high corridor. I was trying not to make a scene, hoping no bullies will no longer get to me. I made it to math class unscathed, followed by Science, that was all I wanted and needed.
And before I knew it, it was Glee club and I was making my way there only to be body checked into a locker. My back hit the metal hard and I fell on my backside. "Woman beater!" I yelled after the jock that just shoved me into the lockers hard and got up. My legs carried me to Glee club where despite the fact that Santana, Brittany, Quinn and Puck were in the room I took a seat next to Rory. He looked my way with this big smile on his face. We'd overcome this big hurdle and we were both delighted about it. I needed a straight talking to and thankfully he was the one that gave it and put me right.
Mr Schuster stood at the front of the class and was smiling as usual. "Ok guys, we have a new duet to contend with Sam and Puck, today it's the new boy and girl Rory and Christina." He was the only one that gave us a round of applause and moved out the way, so Rory and I stood at the front. I was a little nervous, but I had probably my best friend at the school next to me and that was all I needed to get me through. Rory flashed me one of his trademark smiles, the pianist started playing the piano and Rory took hold of both my hands and I sang: "I really can't stay." I tried to pull away, but Rory pulled me back towards him. "But baby it's cold outside."
"I've got to go away." I sang and looked towards the door.
"But baby it's cold outside."
"This evening has been…" I let go of his hands and made my way over to the piano.
"Been hoping that you'd drop in…"
"So very nice." I hopped up onto the piano, only for Rory to then join me and take hold of my hands whilst looking down at them and singing: "I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice."
I shimmy away from him on the piano: "My mother will start to worry." He shimmies towards me.
"Beautiful, what's your hurry?"
"My father will be pacing the floor." I say and hop off the piano and do a light run to the other side of the room.
"Listen to the fireplace roar." He tells me.
"So really I'd better scurry." I turn around, only to have Rory right behind me and to move his arms around me in this gentle, comforting hold and then as if he's saying the words to me for real: "Beautiful, please don't hurry."
"Well maybe just a half a drink more."
"Put some records on while I pour."
We both find some chairs and sit on them, next to one another.
"The neighbours might think…" I look at him.
"Baby, it's bad out there." He gazes back at me and I look down at my lap.
"Say, what's in this drink?"
"No cabs to be had out there."
"I wish I knew how…" I stand up and slowly walk away, only to have him pull me back and face me towards him.
"Your eyes are like starlight." He stares into my eyes.
"To break the spell." As I sing that he brushes some hair out the way of my face.
"I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell"
"I ought to say no, no, no, sir." I point my finger towards him and wag it at him.
"Mind if I move in closer?" He asks and puts an arm around me.
"At least I'm gonna say that I tried." I put an arm around him and stare at him.
"What's the sense in hurting my pride?"
"I really can't stay." I sigh.
"Baby don't hold out." He replied staring into my eyes, as if I was the only one in the room. A large smile appeared on our faces and we turned to the crowd and moved out arms outwards and sang with big smiles. "Baby, it's cold outside..." Before practically collapsing back on the chairs, I lean into Rory's embrace and then the performance is done. We made sure not to have lots of eye contact at the end considering what happened last time…
And once again after the performance it was only a number of people that were clapping. Quinn and Santana certainly wasn't, Brittany started to but Santana stopped her. Finn was in a really smiling mood. "Wow!" Mr Schuster laughed. "That was brilliant chemistry you both had. Are you actually together?"
"No." Rory and I said simultaneously.
"Well, you made it believable." He laughed. "The rest of you take a leaf out of their book, tomorrow I believe it's Finn and Rachel, hopefully it'll be a little less insulting Performance than last time."
"Don't worry Mr Schu." Finn grinned and him and Rachel started chatting ideas about what to do for their number.
Rory smiled at me and said: "Thanks for being my partner." And as usual he walked off to his locker. After yesterday and today I realised one thing. I had to call it off with Puck, being friends with Rory just wasn't enough, I wanted more than that and so did he. Puck wasn't the guy for me, he never was, but maybe just maybe Rory might be.
Just as I was about to break it off with Puck, Santana, Quinn and Brittany walked over to me. "I'm not interested in what any of you have to say." I told them.
"Oh, trust me you are." Santana said and I looked confused, but she continued. "Look, I know you think we've been bullying you, but it's for a good reason, you see there's a reason why Rory isn't liked very much."
"There is?" I wondered.
"Yeah, literally the moment he arrived in this school he started trying it on with all the girls."
"He kissed me." Brittany said and as she did Santana started gathering tears in her eyes. "He was my first." She told me deeply upset. "He told me that I was the only one for him, the next thing I know we sleep together and he just left as if I was some sort of one night stand. As if I was a hooker!" She complained.
Tears cascaded down her face and I was actually shocked, could kind hearted Rory really be like this? "He tried it on with me." Quinn began. "However, after Puck and everything and still liking Finn I didn't let anything happen."
"Don't trust him." Santana told me. "He may act all nice, but he's not, he's really not. That's why the football team hate him because some of my best friends are on that team and the fact he… He used me makes them angry so they shove him into lockers and so forth."
"Wow, I never knew."
"Has anything happened with you?" Santana wondered.
"Umm… We sort of kissed yesterday."
"That's only the beginning trust me."
"I'm really sorry, if I'd have known…"
"It's ok. What are you going to do?" Santana wondered.
Hearing this made me realise what an idiot I'd been, I'd gotten with one idiot at my old school, I didn't need to get with another. And the fact he was being friendly, using me just to get me into bed after everything made me angry. I stormed over to his locker annoyed and when he laid eyes on me he flashed a smile my way. "Hey Christina…" He began, but he couldn't finish because it was then that I slapped him across the face hard.
Almost immediately there was a large red mark on his face. He put his hand to his face and looked at me, as if he couldn't believe it. "Chris…" He began.
"Shut up!" I commanded. "You know, I thought you were really nice and really cared, you know. But your just like every other boy in this school!" I yelled, only for a lot of people in the corridor to start slowing their walking down and watching the argument. "You think a bit of kindness and being friendly will mean us girls will jump into bed with you, seriously?! I trusted you and you used me, in fact I can't believe I even let you kiss me! I'm done with you Rory, now I'd appreciate it if you leave me alone, as well as every other girl in the school because your just a complete and utter slut who only thinks of himself."
I was about to storm past him, only he got in my way and said: "Christina…" I walked through him not in the mood for one of his fake speeches. "Christina!" He yelled with his Irish accent.
"Shut up!" I screamed. "All you Irish men are the same, you think having some new, fresh accent will get women into bed, well, I'm not that easy unlike you!" I screamed and continued storming off.
Students laughed, students looked on in shock, students were quiet and weren't interested in getting on the bad side of me. I went to Drama in the worst mood possible, but hell, acting out my anger seemed like the best thing for me right now…

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the date jam, water, and butter or margarine in a small saucepan. Simmer just long enough to dissolve. Add the ginger.
Spread the olives in a cake pan large enough to fit them in 1 layer. Sprinkle the olives with a few tablespoons of their own juice. Cover with the jam mixture mixture.
Bake for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar in the jam has caramelized. Serve warm or at room temperature as an accompaniment to a meat meal.

I'm the same height and weight, I carry a G30S in a Crossbreed Supertuck with a 1.5" Crossbreed belt (non-dress), but switch to a G27 with a 1.25" Crossbreed belt (non-dress w/aftermarket non-shiny buckle) while in dress clothes with a tucked in shirt.
For you.....First off, you'll have to go to a G26 if you're tucking the shirt in....the end of the grip on a G19 sticks out and prints too much for us tall/skinny people. I would go with a Crossbreed Supertuck holster and a 1.25" Crossbreed belt. Don't get the dress belt just get the regular and it will look good. I don't like Crossbreed's shiny buckle because it draws too much attention, I switch to a titanium square shaped buckle to make it look more like a traditional dress belt. The Crossbreed platform seems heavy with suit pants because your not using a true gun belt, trust me, a gun belt will be stiffer and provide way more support if it's sitting on your hips and your belt is tight, rather than a normal department store belt.

Holman wins Australian PGA title in three-way playoff
(Reuters) - Nathan Holman rebounded after making bogeys on the last two holes in regulation to win the Australian PGA Championship after a three-way playoff.
Holman sealed his first professional title on the first extra hole after finishing tied with American Harold Varner and Dylan Frittelli at even par.
All three players missed the fairway with their drives on the first playoff hole, the tricky par-four 18th, but only Holman found the green with his approach.
The 24-year-old safely made a par to claim the title after Varner and Frittelli both made bogeys at the Royal Pines Resort on Australia's Gold Coast.
Holman had been two shots clear at two-under with two holes to play but bogeyed both, settling for a final round of 73 after opening the door for Varner and Frittelli.
Playing together in the last pairing, neither man was able to birdie either of the last two holes, with both signing for 75s and joining Holman in the playoff.
South Africa's Zander Lombard, who had shared the overnight lead with Varner and Frittelli, finished one stroke out of the playoff at one-over while Australia's Cameron Smith dropped three shots in his last six holes to finish at two-over.
By winning the tournament, co-sanctioned by the European Tour, Holman ensured he won the Australasian Order of Merit, which earned him a place in next year's British Open at Royal Troon and the World Golf Championships Events.
It also earned him a European Tour card for the next two seasons. Continued...

I was home-schooled so my first day at high school was a fright....
At first glance this is your typical 'Mean Girls' story. Smart and polite boy/girl is thrown into the chaos that is public high school and is bullied, develops a crush and then later finds that special something that makes them cool or popular in a way (perhaps at the expense of their better qualities) and then they start a nice relationship with said crush.
The twist however is in the unassuming adjective 'fright'. The bullying and claim to fame are all part of a horror/mystery plot. The haunting is real and the high school shenanigans is inspired by the spirits of deceased high school students. Our hero/heroine solves the mystery, puts the evil spirits to rest and lives out their high school days in angst free contentment.
All for your reading pleasure for the affordable price of $7.50. Available in paperback only. Found in the Fiction Young Adults section of any major book store.

Taro ICU
Growing taro has been exciting for me, but Spring always results in a few losses. It's a pretty big stress on these plants to go dormant when they're used to continuous growth. My new barrelponics system will solve that by keeping the water warm thru a solar water-heater. But this Spring still needs to be dealt with.
I have been keeping my sickly taro in my aquarium water filter to recover for several weeks now. It has worked out perfectly, but that window is losing its direct light, so I grabbed a spare and took it down into the pit greenhouse to test it on my pair of test bucket-lo'i. The taro already in the bucket lo'i have been doing very well – one variety never went dormant and the other is coming back from dormancy pretty vigorously. They are also now in the sun as the shade from the southern wall is receding. The taro in the fish-filter are still growing fine, but they're starting to reach a little harder for that light, so it's time to find an alternative location for my Taro ICU.
I plopped the filter on there, filled it up with water and turned it on. Within moments I had a good flow. My poor skeeter-fish in there wasn't sure what to make of this new intrusion, but it wasn't long before they were back at the surface hunting for food. I didn't have the taro I am keeping in the other fish filter out there yet, so I rummaged thru my pots of taro looking for weak taro keiki – ones that are having trouble getting started. I found a pair of Ula Ula Kumu and one of my Haokea that suited the task pretty well. They all had little corms on them and would probably have come out fine after some period of struggle, but I am going to dig all these up anyway and put them into a barrelponics system so it's no harm.
They're now propped up in the fish filter and looking pretty good. I'll know in a week or so how they do but given my experience with some keiki that were in much worse shape, I'm confident that these guys will take off vigorously. This is the same basic idea that is behind barrelponics – using fish water pumped thru a tank to feed plants. I'm only missing the pea-gravel that barrelponics uses in this instance, and for me the water is kept much higher because the taro I have in there are wetland taro.
Incidentally, the upland grown Piialii that I grew for a couple of years and finally decided to plop in the mud of one of my bucket-lo'i is waking up just fine and putting out it's first wetland grown leaf. The one I have in ICU is also putting out a new leaf. A very happy future awaits these Pi'iali'i – they're one of my favorite taros.
Once I get a third filter this afternoon, I'll move the rest of the taro down there to benefit from more direct sunlight. A pair of them could probably be planted in a pot of topsoil mud and plunged into one of my bucket-lo'i tho – they've gotten pretty big already thanks to the fish water. I expect this to serve as an example of the potential that the barrelponics lo'i system will perform and am looking forward to seeing a mass of taro growing in 30 containers here later this spring. I'll keep ya'll posted on the progress.

Postgraduate Research
The Centre for Applied English Studies encourages applications for Ph.D or M. Phil positions from candidates whose research interests match those of the Centre. A scholarship is available to an outstanding applicant (or applicants), while those with the equivalent of honours grades in their Bachelor's and Master's degrees are eligible for positions as self-funded students (currently costing HK$42,100 per year for full-time PhD students). The Centre has special expertise in a number of areas. It is particularly strong in linguistics as applied to English language education at university level.
Possible supervisors are: Professor Ken Hyland, Dr. Peter Crosthwaite, Dr. David Gardner, Dr. Ken Lau, Dr. Cynthia Lee and Dr. Michael Yeldham.
Research interests
Our supervisors' research interests can broadly be classified into five areas:
Discourse Studies
– academic and professional literacies; corpus linguistics; discourse analysis (including written and spoken); second language writing; writing across the curriculum
English Language Teaching
– classroom interaction; curriculum development; ESP/EAP; L2 listening; pronunciation and phonology; task-based learning;teaching and learning pragmatics
Language Learning
– autonomous learning; computer-assisted language learning; individual differences, learning styles and strategies; learner corpora and data-driven learning; psycholinguistics; second/third language acquisition; self-access learning, video processing
Methodological Approaches
– research methods; systemic functional linguistics
– conversation analysis; cross-cultural communication; computer-mediated communication; English as a Lingua Franca (particularly in relation to language policies); interlanguage and intercultural pragmatics; politeness; speech acts
Postgraduate Admissions Advisor
Dr. Michael Yeldham, Fax 25473409, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Application can be made at any time of the year, although we generally advise scholarship applicants to aim for the main round deadline in early December by submitting their application before the end of November (for admission in September of the following year).
Potential applicants should contact the Postgraduate Admissions Advisor, Dr. Michael Yeldham, in the first instance, giving brief information about research interests, along with a CV which should include qualifications, university grades, and any recent English test scores if required (IELTS, TOEFL, etc). Under no circumstances should an applicant send identical enquiries to several supervisors. This will create confusion about who should be replying to you and thus cause a delay in our response.
For further details on formal application procedures, please see the Faculty of Arts page.
For general information regarding research postgraduate admission, please see the Graduate School page.
Proposal Requirements
To apply, you will need to identify a research topic and write a research proposal, which includes a review of the literature, and your research questions and research methodology, along with expected findings and significance of the study. Proposals are usually between 5 and 6 pages long, single spaced (not including references and appendices). The study should preferably have relevance to the Hong Kong/China context, or to the wider applied linguistics context (e.g., see the studies undertaken by current and former PhD students at the Centre, shown below).
It is a policy of the University of Hong Kong to check for plagiarism in all research proposals. Please contact the Secretary, Sanny Kwok (firstname.lastname@example.com) for further instructions on this procedure when you are ready to submit; for scholarship applicants, preferably in early November before the official submission deadline.

Twenty EightMature
Chelsea was sat on a bench in town. She was sat in front of the pharmacy, debating whether to go in or not. Asmodeus knew she was pregnant, the bump was obvious and she could feel them kicking and moving, but she needed to make sure before she told anybody.
She tried her best to hide the bump with her arms. Even her baggy clothes were getting too small.
She felt a little nudge, followed by two others, as if they were encouraging her to go in and buy the test. Chelsea knew they were there, she just needed to guarantee she wasn't going insane and hallucinating. They nudged again.
Chelsea stood up and walked into the pharmacy. She picked up the box and placed it on the counter to buy. She gave the woman the money and slipped the box into her pocket.
When she got home, the house was still empty. She opened the door and walked up the stairs. Her hand wavered over the bathroom door handle. She took a deep breath and pushed it open. She sat on the cold floor as she opened the rectangular box.
Chelsea heard the front door open and close. She carefully got up off the bed she'd been lying on for hours, suddenly aware of how much the babies moved when she did.
Footsteps came slowly up the stairs. Whoever it was dropped their keys on the floor. Chelsea looked around the door. It was Aaron, her older brother. She opened the door fully.
"Aaron, can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked.
"Sure, what's up?"
"You have to promise to keep this between us, just until I figure out what to do."
"You're starting to worry me now."
"I don't know how to say it so I'm just going to get straight to the point." The look of worry on Aaron's face increased. "I'm about thirteen weeks pregnant."
"Oh my God," was all he could manage.
"You're going to be an uncle."
"Are you sure?" She nodded. "Maybe you didn't do the test right."
"I did. It was positive. I knew anyway. I could feel them kicking."
"'Them'?" he quoted.
"I'm having triplets."
"How do you know?"
"There are three different pairs of legs."
"Maybe they're hands."
"I can tell the difference between hands and feet."
Aaron licked his lips nervously. "It's that Nathan isn't it? I could kill him."
"No you couldn't."
"I could take him; he's four years younger than me."
Chelsea smiled to herself. If only you knew... she thought.
"This has to stay between us for now, Aaron, okay? Just until I can figure everything out."
"Where's Nathan now?"
"He's talking to his brother. Michael will help."
"I've only ever met Nathan twice. Now I find out he's knocked up my baby sister."
He makes it sound so wrong; Azrael would never touch me like that anyway. No matter how much I want him to.
The babies kicked again, making Chelsea gasp and clutch her stomach.
"They must really be getting on each other's nerves," she said.
"Don't joke about it, Chelsea! When are you going to tell Mum?"

UK ICO prosecutes pay-day loans company — and its director — for failure to notify - .PDF file.
The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has prosecuted a pay-day loans company and its director for failing to notify that its business was processing personal data in the UK.
This case serves as an important reminder for businesses — and, in particular, for start-ups — that failure to notify before processing personal data in the UK is a criminal offence and that the ICO is not shy in prosecuting and publicising offenders. It is also an important reminder of directors' liability for data protection offences committed by their companies.
Under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), all 'data controllers' are required to notify the ICO of their 'personal data' processing activities. Notification was formerly known as 'registration' and the two terms are often used interchangeably…

This study used some of the data from the BBC Internet study to assess the universality of sex related spatial competencies, as these are described in the terms of Silverman and Eals' (1992) hunter-gatherer theory of human spatial sex differences. As predicted, men scored significantly higher than women on a test of three-dimensional mental rotations in all seven ethnic groups and 40 countries used. Close to prediction, women scored significantly higher than men on a test of object location memory in all seven ethnic groups and 35 of the 40 countries. The data were discussed in terms of their implications for research approaches in this area and a paradigm for future studies was proposed, based on the interaction of innate and environmental factors in the ontogenetic development of spatial sex differences.
