Monday Practice Video:
Atlanta, Ga.—After taking some time off for Christmas break the Auburn Tigers got back to work Monday morning with a full pad practice in the Georgia Dome as they prepare to face Virginia in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Working on all phases of the game in the two hour practice Coach Gene Chizik said his team had a good day on the field following up productive practices on campus.
"We were focused in Auburn," Chizik said. "I thought their focus was definitely there today. Comparing it to where we were five days ago, there's not a big difference.
"I thought we had a good practice today," he added. "I was worried a little bit about being rusty kind of being away from practice a little bit, but I thought the energy level was high. I thought they were very focused this morning in meetings. It went well."
One of the questions that has come up in recent weeks is how Auburn will handle things at the running back position. With Michael Dyer suspended indefinitely it leaves the Tigers with a hole at the position having to replace the back-to-back 1,000-yard rusher. Junior Onterio McCalebb and true freshman Tre Mason should get the bulk of the work against Virginia and on Monday true freshman Quan Bray got some reps with the third group. Quarterback Clint Moseley said he's a guy that could see some action if needed.
"Losing Mike, Tre's role expanded a lot," Moseley said. "O, even his role is going to expand and his responsibilities are going to be a little bigger. We've got to have someone else. We can't have just one running back. We have been putting a few other people back there just in case one of them gets hurt.
"Quan is really good with the ball in his hands," he added. "He hasn't gotten any reps the whole year at running back. It's a little bit of an adjustment, but he's really good with the ball in his hands."
Mason seconded those comments about his classmate Bray. Expected to take on a much bigger role against Virginia than he's had this season, Mason said he's excited about his opportunity and looking forward to seeing if Bray can make an impact as well.
"It's exciting ," Mason said. "Very exciting. I was just waiting on this chance. It's a great opportunity that I was given. I'm just going to do what I have to do to win. I like the venue (Georgia Dome). It's a faster pace. I like the turf. It's a fast track.
"He (Quan) is perfect," he added. "He's versatile. He could play every position on the field if you wanted him to. He could play defense too. He's just a great athlete."
Quan Bray on Monday
While the running backs are the question on offense, perhaps the biggest question mark on defense is not how the Tigers will look under Chizik's guidance, but where he will coach from? Always in the press box as a defensive coordinator, the head coach said that he plans to coach from the sidelines against Virginia as the takes over for the departed Ted Roof, but that could change.
"Right now that's the plan," Chizik said. "As I get closer and really think about it, it might change."
Also with the overall duties to lead his team, Chizik said the toughest part is going to be dealing with the in-game things that come up while also calling the defense.
"That's going to be the challenge for me," Chizik said. "Even when I was a defensive coordinator I never called a game from the field so that's going to be a little bit different for me."
One thing that has been different for the defense has been the intensity of the practices with Chizik at the helm. That continued Monday morning as the linebackers jumped right into a physical practice with plenty of hitting in drills. Jake Holland said it was nice to get the rust off early and get things going.
"I feel like the team had a really good practice today," Holland said. "Everybody was fast and we jumped back into it pretty quick. Everybody was attentive. We're just moving forward with the plan.
"You have to get your feet wet early coming back off Christmas break," he added. "You've got to get back into it physically. That's what Coach Chizik wanted to do and with those drills early in practice that's what we did."
The team will practice the rest of the week inside the Georgia Dome as the Tigers prepare for Saturday night's Chick-Fil-A Bowl against Virginia. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 6:30 P.M. CT.

My reading tally has been a bit measly so far this year (various boring life things getting in the way). But here goes.
Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn (quite an enjoyable read for its genre, even if you can guess the twists)
Number9dream - David Mitchell (pretty bonkers)
Wool - Hugh Howey (another dystopian story. Started off well, but lost momentum)
Veniss Underground - Jeff Vandemeer (utterly nuts, in a very good way. Loved it)
Shift - Hugh Howey (next in Wool series. Rapidly losing interest I'm afraid)
Alone in Berlin - Hans Fallada (powerful stuff. Everyone should read this)
The Gracekeepers - Kirsty Logan (whimsical and soggy fairytale)
The Sense of an Ending - Julian Barnes (I wanted to like it...)

'The Angel who Thwarts Demons'Mature
Senka watched her sister leave. Anger bubbled up inside her. A small part of her realised the truth of Nithya's words but it was being drowned out by the larger part of her that was sick of just sitting around. Senka hated death but she also hated not doing anything for the survival of their kind.
Senka also didn't like the fact that her sister kept treating her like a child.
She was anything but. After all, she was one hundred and seventy-six years old.
Senka took a deep breath and stared at her hands on the table; forcing herself to calm down. Nithya was right about one thing: Senka was very impulsive and when angry she was even more so.
They really couldn't afford to make mistakes.
Once slightly more calm, Senka raised her eyes and glanced at the boy Nithya had spotted earlier. He truly did seem engrossed in his book. Had he heard anything? It seemed unlikely but still...
She examined him closely. Brown hair, brown eyes, or hazel (she couldn't see properly at that angle), tall-ish and well built.
Senka stood up and started to leave. As she passed his table she saw the top of some school books in his bag. Lucas Roe. Senka had been raised to believe that a name could tell you a lot about a person and Roe (if she remembered correctly) meant shyness, speed and hunting. Something to do with 'deer' as well. Senka smiled slightly. Nithya would be scolding her for not paying attention to her lectures on names.
As Senka brushed past Mr. Roe and as his eyes lifted the same thing that had passed between her sister and him, passed between them. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up on end; chills shivering down her spine. Senka frowned and the boy lowered his eyes; blushing furiously.
Senka stepped outside and the harsh wind whipped at her face, blowing her hair in her eyes. She sighed and walked off in search of Nithya.
"Remind me why I'm here again?" Senka hissed to Nithya (or rather Miss Crossfire, the teacher of Critical Thinking), "You'd think after sixty years of the same syllabas they'd come up with something new!"
"Hush, Senka," Nithya giggled then appraised her sister, "And here I thought you'd be complaining about the uniform not the lessons!"
"Don't get me started on this hideous thing," Senka gestured to the knee length, grey dress.
"You shouldn't insult the school dress code in front of a teacher," Nithya chastened lightly. Senka stuck her tongue out at Nithya. The two sisters had assumed their roles for three days now. Senka being an A-Level student and Nithya a teacher. Just so she could annoy her sister she had chosen to take Critical Thinking as well as Religious Studies, Latin and Biology.
Abruptly, Nithya's face grew serious and lost its smile. "You've felt it, too, haven't you?" she said, too quietly for any humans. Senka nodded, grimly. There were traces all over the school. Senka's instincts screamed at her, telling her to get the hell away from here, but if the sisters left as suddenly as they'd arrived then they would draw attention to themselves.
Senka saw that Nithya's face had grown rather dark. Senka hated it when her older sister withdrew into herself so much.
"Guess what you've got this afternoon!" Senka said in a sing-song voice, trying to lighten the mood.
"What?" Nithya asked, looking startled.
"Me!" Senka teased, "Double Critical Thinking, aren't you the lucky one?"
"Oh, yes, without a doubt," Nithya muttered, "Why don't you just kill me now and have done with it?"
"Aw, I'm not that bad," Senka grinned.
"That's what you think," Nithya's lips twitched, "But in this instance, you're right. You're not that bad."
"Thank you," Senka smiled.
"You're worse," Nithya added. Senka glowered at her but then her attention was diverted by two people colliding. A teacher and a student with brown hair. Lucas Roe again. The Crossfires exchanged glances and moved over to assist. The teacher had a gentle face and was dismissing Lucas's apologies.
"Don't worry about it," the teacher was saying. He saw Nithya and Senka approaching and smiled.
"Ah, Miss Crossfire and..?"
"Miss Crossfire, funnily enough. We're sisters, can't you tell?" Senka raised an eyebrow. Nithya nudged her sister.
"Be polite," she scolded, "Mr. Eae, this is my little sister Senka."
"Eae?" Senka repeated, both sisters smiled at the irony.
"Yes," Eae said, stiffly.
"As in the angel who thwarts Demons?" Senka asked, with a dry edge.
"Right," Eae laughed, "And do you take Religious Studies, Miss Crossfire?"
"Unfortunately," Senka said almost silently. Only a Demon's (or an Angel's) ears could have heard her. More loudly she said, "Yes, sir."
"Me too," Lucas said to her and then flushed red. The three of them turned their eyes on him; Nithya indifferent, Eae smiling and Senka cold. She still remembered the shivers she'd felt the other day when their eyes had met.
"Do the three of you know one another?" Eae asked, cheerfully.
"From afar," Senka said shortly, "Come on Nith - Miss Crossfire, or we'll be late."
"It seems that you and Mr. Roe have several lessons together," Eae stated.
"What?" Senka whirled back around.
"Lucas takes Critical Thinking," Eae informed them.
"Oh, good," Nithya said enthusiastically.
"Oh, good..." Senka muttered sarcastically.

We understand the honest effort that must be made, and not the fast harmful route of a diet pill or a crash diet. The change must be consistent to lifestyle, unlike a diet pill designed to alter the body's chemistry or a starvation diet regime that causes massive harm and is ultimately self-defeating.
Losing weight must incorporate the long term goal of a healthy life and prevention of illness, if we are to avoid comorbidities like Type 2 Diabetes, particular cancers, liver and kidney disease. Sustainability of this lifestyle is what we concentrate our efforts on, because if a weight loss diet is not sustainable to reach our goals, then it has already failed.

text: By Bob Ryan BOSTON, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Legendary Boston sportswriter Bob Ryan writes about UMass Lowell and the America East Conference. This column can be posted and republished. What do we have here? Could it be? Nah. Impossible. But wait. It might actually be true. What a shock! In this day and age there is an NCAA-affiliated multi-sport (hockey being an exception) conference that really makes sense. Welcome to the America East! OK, it's not the only one. The Ivy League certainly makes sense, and so does the Patriot League. But we live in a circumstance in which the Big Boys are all in mad pursuit of the football dollar. It is also a time in which the Atlantic-10 has 16 teams, the Big Ten has 12, the Big 12 has 10, what does West Virginia have in common with Oklahoma State, and is Boulder, Colo. anywhere near the Pacific Ocean?? Then there's the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), which up to now has allowed itself to stretch from Ruston, La. to Seattle (it's currently in re-alignment to something a bit more geographically coherent). In the midst of all this abrogation of geography, tradition and just plain common sense, we present to you the nine-team America East, which runs vertically from Burlington, Vt. to Baltimore, Md. And which has striven since its inception to group institutions who feel comfortable with each other in every way. "We're the Conference That Makes Sense." That is not America East's official motto, but it very well could be. The America East is currently comprised of the following nine schools: Stony Brook, Vermont, Boston University, Albany, New Hampshire, Maine, Binghamton, Hartford and Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC). Dr. Sam Stanley is Chair of the America East Board of Presidents, and the Stony Brook University President wholeheartedly endorses the premise that the America East Conference makes sense. "Absolutely," he says. "I agree totally."

Funky, in this case, means an oldish (circa 1945), flat-roofed, single- storey house, stuffed to the carved beams with antique Apache puberty dolls and hand-painted Mexican furniture, and a walled garden oasis, sprouting orange and mesquite trees and dozens of varieties of spiny cacti. No piece of real estate in southern Arizona is truly funky, unless it comes with a mature saguaro cactus (those big chaps with the arms), a protected species peculiar to Sonoran landscapes. But if you want the spiritual, then adobe - genuine organic, sunbaked dirt - is where it's at in this part of the world.
We are in Arizona's Valley of the Sun, a Sonora desert basin, where wilderness meets sprawling Phoenix, set against a backdrop of jagged red mountains. Phoenix and its circle of rambling satellite cities - Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Paradise - is one of the fastest-growing urban regions in the US. Attracted by the climate, the sunsets, the "indoor-outdoor lifestyle" and jobs in finance and technology (this is a Silicon Valley too), nearly 500,000 people (including 10,000 from Britain) have moved into the area in the last five years. The population has almost doubled in a decade.
Many are relocating Californians, content to move inland, and risk losing their pets to Arizona's prowling suburban coyotes rather than reside on the San Andreas Fault. Thousands more are holiday-home owners and "snow birds", an American breed of migrating pensioners, most of whom seem to come from Illinois. Naturally, the real-estate market is booming.
Those parts of the Valley's parched and prickly, but achingly beautiful, desert wilderness that haven't already been tamed and manicured are gradually disappearing under golf courses, triple carports, swimming pools and unnaturally green lawns. Conserva-tionists look on in horror as thousands of acres of Sonora's uniquely flora-ed landscape are lost to conquering developers and a tidal wave of red-roofed, bright white "stick and stucco" homes. The adobe's recent rekindling is perhaps an effort to preserve what's left of nature's desert culture.
"Our Native American, Mexican and Spanish heritage shines through as the cornerstone to our homebuilding style," reads an advert in a Scottsdale property magazine, which claims there are currently 300 developers building houses in the Phoenix area. Many are offering "custom homes" that look like adobes, but the majority are "Santa Fe wannabes" - faux adobes, rendered in various shades of desert brown, dung and sunset pink - all style and no mud.
Like the genuine article, they are characterised by sensuous and organic shapes, vigas (roof timbers that protrude through exterior walls), niches and rustic chimeneas (fireplaces), but according to Connie Binns, the owner of a 1920s adobe house at the foot of Scottsdale's Camelback Mountain, there is no comparison. "The atmosphere of a real adobe is completely different from that of an ordinary home," she insists. "When I first caught sight of this house, it reached out and wrapped its arms around me."
Five years after she bought it the house won an Arizona Governor's Award for historic preservation and was featured in Southwest Passages magazine. Arizona's home-interest glossy regularly focuses on contemporary Wild West pioneers who have bought and restored neglected adobe homes and transformed them into models of Pueblo Revivalism. The adobe aesthetic has become a fashionable facet of the "southwestern style" - a blend of Native American artefacts, Spanish colonial antiques and Santa Fe "accents", sprinkled with cowboy fringes, cacti and lizard motifs.
That aside, a rarity factor adds extra cachet to adobe-ownership. Few originals survive and only a handful of architects are working with earth. "To build with adobe is to return to an ancient tradition of the Pueblo Indians," says a sales brochure produced by Arizona's earth-sculpting artist-cum-architect, William Tull, whose homes, he says, "recreate those styles whose roots are found in the natural materials and climate of the region ... they are built with what nature provided."
Until the first railroads tore through Arizona 100 years ago, most desert architecture was earth-built. Part Indo-Mexican, part Spanish-Moorish, they were stout and flat-roofed, built around courtyards. Thick walls provided a natural thermal mass which kept interiors cool even in the heat and warm on cold nights. Adobes are the most practical of desert dwellings, but to 19th-century Anglo sensibilities mud meant poverty, peasantry and inferior building.
In 1864, journalist J Ross Browne described the Hispanic-flavoured town of Tucson, 60 miles from the Mexican border, as "a city of mud boxes, dingy and dilapidated, cracked and baked into a composite of dust and filth". At the time, Tucson was the largest settlement in the state, but the early pioneers who filed into Arizona from Europe and the eastern states couldn't wait to get out of the adobe neighbourhoods.
"The adobe does not make an attractive or clean building," wrote an Arizonan newspaper editor in 1887, "and Eastern people find it somewhat repulsive in appearance ... it is hoped that all new buildings of any pretension will be built of brick and the unsightly adobe discarded." And so it was.
Thousands of mud-built villages were swept away and replaced with Victorian- style houses. Those that remained were victim of further purges in the Sixties and Seventies - this time to make way for the thrusting glass and concrete towers that have turned the centres of modern Tucson and Phoenix into carbon copies of every other downtown district in urban America. Throughout this history of destruction, however, there were always a few maverick architects who saw the sense of using local materials and labour to build traditional desert houses.
Copper mining entrepreneur James S Douglas (otherwise known as "Rawhide" Jimmy) built himself a splendid adobe house in the Arizonan town of Jerome, in 1916. It's now a State Historic Park museum - dedicated to the rise- and-fall story of Jerome and the Douglas family's Little Daisy mine. Most of the exhibits consist of turn-of-the-century portraits, lumps of mineral- streaked rock and antique tools of the mining trade, but in a corner of one glass case is an old dirt brick. Beneath it is Rawhide Jimmy's account of how a hired Mexican work-force produced 80,000 bricks, just like this one, to build the Douglas Mansion.
"These fellows mixed dirt, straw and water together by hand and dumped it into a three-brick, ladder-like frame," he wrote. "The bricks were left in the sun to dry, but they dried rather slowly, had to be turned periodically and occupied a tremendous amount of space," The mansion - one of the largest remaining historic adobe dwellings in Arizona - outlived many of the Victorian-style villas, which crumbled into a heap of rotting timbers when the decline of the copper-mining industry turned Jerome into a ghost town.
Latterly, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright - who died in Phoenix in 1959, 20 years after establishing his commune-like desert school of architecture, Taliesin West, near Scottsdale - helped revive Arizona's traditional adobe- type buildings.
Some of his contemporaries, such as the Phoenix society architect HH Greene (who built Connie Binns' house) experimented with earth, leaving a smattering of large, rather formal Pueblo Revival properties which today fetch breathtaking sums of money. For instance, a dilapidated Thirties adobe in Scottsdale (the former home of Horace Stonehouse, owner of the San Francisco Giants baseball team) was recently put on the market for $995,000 (roughly pounds 650,000) - almost as much as a brand new, luxury, custom- built William Tull original.
"A communion between art and nature" is how Tull describes the "Adobes de la Tierra" homes he has recently created on several acres of rugged desert land near the "Taco Deco" style El Pedregal shopping mall and the Boulders Club golfing resort in Scottsdale. The latter, designed by Bob Bacon, is a quite wonderful collection of earth-coloured, Flintstones- esque buildings set in a jumble of real and imitation granite rocks. The Boulders' little "casita" lodges look at first sight convincingly like adobe, but they don't stand up to comparison with Tull's first and only Arizona development.
Priced from $1m, every Tull house is a one-off, each lavishly upgraded versions of early native adobes. They are built from dirt blocks - made in Tucson, in exactly the same manner described by Rawhide Jimmy, nearly a century ago. Windows and doors look as though they've been pressed into wet clay. And the granulated surfaces of the thick, desert-coloured, mud walls seem to have been patted into shape by hand. They have. "The beauty of adobe is in the rhythm and music of the outline," says Tull. And the technicians of his art, mostly Mexican builders and craftsmen, spend a lot of time smoothing, bevelling and moulding their adobe brickwork and rendering.
Surrounded by ironwood, prickly pear and mature saguaros, the houses feature Moorish arches, spruce and pine beams and vigas, cool tiled courtyards, indoor and outdoor chimeneas, rock-strewn "entry patios" and steps that lead up to roof terraces. Shutters and garage doors are made from saguaro ribs and many of the gates and doors are hand-forged iron or imported Mexican antiques.
One of Tull's committed buyers is English management consultant John Scott-Oldfield, who intends to flit from London flat to Scottsdale adobe as often as possible "to refresh my batteries". The initial attraction, he says, was Arizona but despite the fact that he could have bought a massive, three-and-a-half bathroom holiday home almost anywhere in the state for under pounds 200,000, he was seduced by the magic of sun-dried dirt. "Tull's houses look like beautifully sculpted mounds of earth," he says. "They seem to grow out of the desert and he thinks very carefully about how each sits on the land and where the sun is in relation to the placing of the rooms. They are expensive because they are works of art."
Tucson architect Bob Vint, another protagonist of contemporary adobe, confesses to a crisis of conscience over the hypocrisy of reproducing native mud-built homes for wealthy clients. "When I was a kid there was a huge community of traditional adobe homes in Tucson," he recalls. "People dismissed them as slums, lived in by a bunch of Mexicans who didn't know any better. And by the time they started to say, `Hey, these old houses are pretty neat, let's do something with them,' most of them were gone." What remains of Tucson's Mexican quarter now houses lawyers, doctors, artists, teachers and the like.
"Okay, so some of the original buildings have survived. We are preserving the architecture, and have even started to emulate it," says Vint. "But we are destroying the culture that created it. The families that built these homes, and lived in them for generations, have been driven out and forced into crumby flats." For those still making a living out of sun- drying bricks and sculpting spiritually native homes for the rich, that must really stick in the throat.

BRIEF-Ceiba Energy Services reportes Q1 revenue of $2.3 mln
* Ceiba Energy Services announces improved first quarter 2017 financial and operating results
(Repeats March 5 story without changes to headline or text)
By Nichola Groom
SANTA BARBARA, March 5 Although U.S. business leaders say they support a national carbon-capping program to tackle global warming, disagreement over the details bodes poorly for the plan President Obama aims to push through Congress this year.
The chief executives of some of the biggest U.S. companies, at a Wall Street Journal conference in Santa Barbara this week, said they generally support a plan to cap greenhouse gas emissions and require companies that emit more than the limit to buy emissions permits.
But many said they had trouble with the specific plan laid out by the Obama administration last month. Others said they doubted whether legislators would pass such a measure during a deep economic downturn.
"I hope that we can get something done, but I'm not necessarily confident yet," said Xerox Corp (XRX.N) Chief Executive Anne Mulcahy, who served on Obama's economic transition team.
Building consensus around cap and trade in the business community is still "a work in progress," Mulcahy said, adding that the issue of how emissions permits are distributed was critical.
Obama has said he wants a so-called cap-and-trade system that would put a price on emissions of climate-warming carbon. Companies that emit more than the limit would have to buy emission permits; companies that emit less could sell emission credits.
In the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme, emissions credits were given away to polluters at first.
The head of the United States' largest burner of coal for power generation said he was disappointed by Obama's proposal even though he supports cap and trade in principle.
"If you auction all of the credits, then it's just a carbon tax," American Electric Power Co Inc (AEP.N) Chief Executive Michael Morris said on the sidelines of the conference. "So let's forget the game. Let's call it a carbon tax, and let's see if the populace wants to have a carbon tax."
Morris also said he disagreed with the government's plan to use a portion of the expected $800 billion in revenue generated in the program's first decade to make a new tax credit for working families permanent. He would rather see all the revenue used to fund investments in clean energy technologies.
"I just think that's wrongheaded thinking," Morris said.
The debate over whether the U.S. should scrap the cap-and-trade plan altogether and simply tax carbon dioxide emissions is still alive.
Autonation Inc (AN.N) CEO Mike Jackson said cap and trade was "complicated, expensive and could introduce volatility" in gasoline prices, a scenario the No. 1 publicly traded auto dealership group "is absolutely opposed to."
"I would much prefer just straight forward gas taxes, like they've done in Europe and Japan, to get the consumer to value fuel efficiency," he said in an interview. "You don't need to start them now in the economic recession, but just announce in 2012 or 2011 we're going to have higher taxes on gasoline. And people will factor it into their decisions today."
Speaking at the conference, former U.S. Vice President and climate change activist Al Gore said he favored both a carbon tax and a cap-and-trade system, but added cap-and-trade was the best way to create a global market focused on reducing emissions.
Even the CEO of an alternative energy company that stands to benefit from such a program raised doubts about whether such an initiative could be passed during a recession.
"I'll believe it when I see it," said Bill Roe, CEO of cellulosic ethanol start-up Coskata. "When you've got an economy that hasn't hit bottom yet, do you do that? Our history says...this would not be a particularly great time to be putting what many will construe as another tax in place."
Google Inc (GOOG.O) CEO Eric Schmidt, while he didn't disagree with the idea of a cap-and-trade program, warned that the program would take years to take effect and that more immediate action on climate change was also needed.
"The problem that I see is not that the intent is incorrect but that the implementation of cap and trade or a carbon tax is multi-years away, even if you had it today, because it's complicated to build," he said. "We can't wait." (Reporting by Nichola Groom, editing by Leslie Gevirtz)

His team-mate Lee Bowyer, who was cleared of affray and GBH but branded a liar by the trial judge, is in line for a rise which will put him on £30,000 a week. The news that the pair have been awarded new contracts under which they will enjoy substantial pay rises has outraged the family of Sarfraz Najeib, who intend to sue the two footballers.
One relative said: "It's absolutely scandalous. Leeds are obviously not taking the whole thing very seriously at all. It is a cosmetic action to fine Woodgate eight weeks' wages then reward him afterwards with a pay rise." Woodgate had been fined £104,000 by his club for being drunk on the night of the attack in addition to the 100 hours community service imposed at Hull Crown Court after he was found guilty of affray.
Bowyer, 24, was fined £64,000, but it took the intervention of the players' union, the Professional Footballers' Association, to persuade him to pay up after he insisted he had done nothing wrong. The trial judge said Bowyer's statements to police about the attack that left Mr Najeib covered in cuts and bruises and nursing a broken leg were "littered with lies". Mr Najeib will today undergo another operation on his nose, nearly two years after it was broken in the attack outside the Majestyk night club in Leeds.
His family, who claim the attack was racially motivated, are demanding damages for the physical and mental injuries he suffered. Leeds United are also cited in the civil action for failing to control its players and trying to cover up for them. The student stands to win as much as £1 million.
Mr Najeib's relative said: "They could have let the dust settle first - when the civil case has been completed."
A Leeds United spokesman said: "The trial has been dealt with and Jonathan is an asset to the club."
Woodgate's new deal is thought to be worth almost £20,000 a week and will earn him about £5 million over five years. The 21-year-old England defender made his first league start for 11 months yesterday at Bolton.Reuse content

I have started a new page on Yahoo of my photos from traveling.
I just uploaded a lot of photos of the Aloe collection at Quail
Botanical Gardens in Encinitas (San Diego area), CA.
I also have files in the Files and also Photos (both are full) of
other things such as my uncle's house in Ohio, NY's Bryant Park and
Wave Hill. I will be posting a lot more photos in the future as I get
myself organized (LOL).
If you are interested, please join. The files are around 87-200K in
size so if you have a slow download I recommend signing on to Yahoo
and viewing them on the web instead of individual emails and of
course, photos are not attached on the daily digested form.

Fin Kennedy spent three months talking to members of a profession more usually talked about. Hours of taped conversation - every pause and cough - were transcribed meticulously. At the end, he was left with 10 accounts by voices rarely sought, describing work rarely understood.
Social workers - both qualified and trainees - met Kennedy after work or during snatched breaks and, while always respecting their clients' confidentiality, told him about the job. He spent a day at a children's home in Hampshire, observing its residents - youngsters he describes as "livewire kids with behavioural problems, bouncing off the walls".
The research has enabled Kennedy to shape the characters of his play, Protection, which opens on July 6 at the Soho Theatre in London. Centred on an inner-city family support team, the play dramatises relations between social worker and client - a dynamic, Kennedy argues, that theatre and television have until now ignored.
"It's just about the only public service that hasn't been dramatised," he says. "We've had so much about police, doctors and even customs and excise, but social services just doesn't appear."
The play portrays the strain of meeting the spiralling duties of the job, the persistent anxieties about safety - both personal and that of the client - and the difficulties of developing trust while maintaining boundaries. And it criticises unashamedly the government's target-setting agenda.
"This pressure to close cases is a fundamental misunderstanding of the work," Kennedy says. "That's how we now quantify success. They're not like police files - lives cannot be solved. Performance targets have meant that social workers tend to be pulled up short for society's failings because it all ends up on their doorstep. That's what came out in the interviews. I just wanted to tell it like it is."
Kennedy is qualified beyond his research findings to do so. During his teenage years, his mother, Mavis Sawdy, was a team manager in a children and family unit in Hampshire and he grew up, as he puts it, "watching the fallout". The play is dedicated to her. He saw her health suffer from stress-related conditions and the thanklessness of the task. "You can rarely come home and say: 'Case closed. I've done a good job there', because people's lives don't close," he says.
It was this that interested Kennedy the playwright. "Clients and social workers are complete strangers who are thrown into a situation where they're very close for a number of years," he says. "When love is removed from that relationship, then it becomes dramatically very interesting because there are boundaries in place. Do they cross them or contain themselves?"
He remembers reading case studies from social work training documents that his mother brought home. "I grew up taking that kind of work for granted as a kid," he says. "But, looking at it now, I realise that it's unusual being [in] a profession whose currency is relationships and feelings."
His mother attended the play's first reading at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. "She cried like a baby, she was so chuffed," Kennedy says. "God only knows what she'll be like on press night."
Kennedy, now 26, wrote his first play at 17. He researched and wrote Protection for the final project of his MA in playwriting at Goldsmiths College in London, for which he won a bursary from the arts and humanities research board. The literary manager at the Soho Theatre liked the play enough to enter Kennedy for a Pearson playwriting bursary, which he won and which attaches him to the theatre for a year. As well as developing a new play, the award requires him to teach teenagers and budding young writers.
Kennedy's own inspiration is David Hare, who has been writing radical plays for the past two decades. That such a young man had such a hero surprised his tutors at Goldsmiths.
"Social commentary has become really unfashionable among playwrights of my generation," Kennedy says. "Problems in society are looked at, but at a micro level, so we get these council estate plays about parents and kids abusing each other. But there's no sense of the world outside. I'm interested in looking at how the country's big institutions are affected by policy, and how that links to the underclass who are on the receiving end of services."
His previous work includes To Be Someone - about a 17-year-old girl from Newcastle upon Tyne who escapes to London from an abusive boyfriend - which has been staged in Newcastle and London. Its broader theme is regeneration, contrasting the decline of the Tyne docks with the establishment of a slew of call centres. Kennedy quit a job as a receptionist for a literary agent to go to Newcastle to research the play - a move the uncertainty of which, he says, was "scary".
His next play will be about people who were hanged on London's gallows in the 17th and 18th centuries. "There's a theory that they weren't cut-throat criminals, but victims of changes to the property laws," he says.
Writing about things he considers important have led to accusations that he is "worthy". "I looked it up in the dictionary," he says, "and it simply said: 'concerned with issues of moral worth'. And I thought, 'Well, if that's what it means, I'm happy to be it.'"
Kennedy is unequivocal about wanting his audience to think twice about social work. He rails against the way he thinks the profession is "demonised" in the public imagination. "I wanted to celebrate some unsung heroes, but I've not shied away, I hope, from its failings," he says. "Social services are only ever going to be as good as those who work within them."

I love the day after a storm because...
Soaked grass and mud squished between my bare toes. I looked at the bottoms of my feet over my sholder. Pitch Black.
Early morning sun peaked through the trees and foliage. A soft wind whispered and nipped around. Green and yellow. Brown and blue. White and gray. Black.
The colors swim and dance as I spin around. the ground shakes as I pund my feet. A stream of freezing rain water pours down over my body. It felt so good.
Leaves and dirt. Grass and grime. All of this was washed over me. I felt dirty.
so I spin some more. shaking and pounding the ground. then my feet left from the ground. But I spin still. My body twirls and twists. I have become what? A cyclond. Whipping through the forest.
I have become my own storm, on the day after a natural one.

My finger slipped when doing commits and the file build.xml was used for some of the commit log messages rather than the log message I wanted. So here is the summary of changes I made: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.java Fixed default factory to use for a ServerSocket to be in the org.apache.catalina.net package instead of orga.apache.catalina. org.apache.naming.factory.DbcpDataSourceFactory.java Added try/catch around creation of data source to capture any Exceptions thrown during data source creation. Removed logging of database user password, passwords should not be logged. org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory.java There were a number of places where an Exception or Throwable was caught during resource creation, but no information about the Throwable was being logged. Added logging of Exceptions and Throwables which are caught, this should make debugging Resource creation problems easier.

Tulkinghorn fulfilled a lifelong ambition last week when, as a guest of CMS Cameron McKenna's Central and Eastern Europe practice, he sang along with that legendary 1980s icon Rick Astley.
Astley was singing his legendary hits – all one of them – at the English National Ballet's fundraising dinner hosted by HRH The Duke of York. Sadly Andy missed Astley's performance after ducking off for his own birthday party.
One of the main prizes on auction at the evening was to be Chelsea chairman for a day, taking Skadden managing partner Bruce Buck's seat at the West London football club.
What did one lucky punter pay for the privilege of a lunch in the boardroom and Buck's chair in the directors' box? Only a mere £10,000. So about three hours of Bruce's chargeable time then. Seems about right.

and so it begins
David, sometimes man sometimes platypus finds himself on a quest for a princess.
This is a story I wrote for Kerstin. She had a few demands:
a) There must be a dragon in it.
b) It must have a happy end
c) There must be 'know' sharks in it.
I'm not sure why she wanted 'know' sharks in the story, she really doesn't like sharks.
A musty smell wafted lazily around David's bill, seeming to tease him for being so nervous. A terrifying thought danced on the threshold of his consciousness: what if that's me? What if I'm the one who reeks? A chubby fish with huge lips, a scepter and a crown seemed to be expecting something. For the life of him, David couldn't remember why he was here only that he couldn't afford to screw up.
"Well son, what makes you think you have what it takes? We don't have all day here." With the 'we' he gestured with a fin to a mop on his right and a shadowy figure to his left. David hadn't noticed the other two figures at first, nor did he notice the scratched, mahogany desk all three were sitting behind. He rubbed his feet together vigorously, swallowed hard and wished with all his being to be anywhere else but here.
"I can..." he began, stopping himself in mid-sentence. "Can you repeat the question?" Was this it? Had he just lost his chance for... why exactly was he here? "Um, your majesty" he added after a stern look from the mop. He took a deep breath and slid his forefeet into the pockets of his trousers. His left foot came in contact with a photograph and he suddenly remembered why he was here. He remembered why he couldn't screw up. He needed to rescue the princess.
"Son," the king took an onion from the surface of the desk and held it aloft. "I have a kingdom to run and I can't have my time wasted. I'm asking you – we are asking you – why we should allow you to rescue the princess. We have been conducting interviews all day and frankly, this one has been one of the worst.
"Your majesty," David's voice seemed to push against the walls in the stuffy room. "I know that I have performed poorly in this interview, but I will succeed in saving the princess. I have something that the others do not. " He pulled the photograph from his pocket and held it aloft. He attempted to raise it higher than the king was holding the onion, but David's forelegs weren't all that long. At the sight of photo, the king and the mop were visibly shaken. The shadow, however, just darkened.
"I have a photograph of the princess."
