Michael Owen claims he remains determined to prove he can still cut it in the Premier League.
Owen insists he can still score goals at the highest level, despite being frustrated at making just six appearances for Stoke and scoring only once.
The former England star is expected to start on the bench tonight against Wigan at the Britannia and says he remains as hungry as ever.
"People have questioned me for the last six years if I'm honest," said Owen, who has managed just one start for the Potters in the FA Cup.
"You always get questioned when you're not playing, especially when you've played to the level I have in my career.
"I'm really hungry, though, but it's difficult to express."
Owen, 33, was chuffed to score his 150th Premier League goal against Swansea this month and is optimistic he can figure more over the second half of the season.
"The season hasn't gone the way I wanted it to because I've hardly played, hardly scored and haven't been involved in the season at all yet," he said.
"Hopefully the second half of the season can be a lot better for me.
"When I came here, I wanted to get in the team. That hasn't changed and I hope I can play a big part here for Stoke."

Two large display windows allowed passersby on foot or in streetcars to marvel at the decorative displays of canned goods and fresh produce assembled to entice.
Not sexy by today's grocery standards, but Hulett's neighborhood store was practical and efficient — just what was needed in the early years of the Great Depression.
"It was the heyday of the corner grocery," says John Zeller, local research historian. "Every neighborhood of 1,000 people could support one."
In the back of the store two butchers in blood-splattered aprons sliced fresh cuts to order.
Hulett stood behind a polished maple counter, crushing out his cigarettes on the wood plank floor beneath his feet, ringing up sales on an ornate brass cash register with a hand crank and a bell that rang each time the money drawer opened.
Some customers simply signed for their groceries. "Regular customers had running accounts," explains Zeller.
"The grocer kept track and mailed invoices at the end of the month. If you paid your bill, he sold you groceries."
Today, 80 years later, many Iowa towns harbor one of these small commercial buildings — once upon a time a bank, a cafe, a tavern, a grocery store — but it often sits dilapidated, unloved, and unused.
Renovation can cost more than building from scratch, leading to demolition. Those that don't meet the wrecking ball are sometimes "remuddled" beyond recognition.
"Much of Iowa's architectural heritage exists in small communities and Main Streets," says Michael Wagler, state coordinator with Main Street Iowa, a division of the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA).
"These buildings help define the history and mystique of a place. While every old building isn't itself a historic landmark, it is the collection of these structures that makes up our link to the past.
Our built environment is irreplaceable. Once it's gone, it's gone."

My speech at Le Web (Three Social Thunderstorms) continues to stimulate debate. While many do not agree with my analysis, the discussion has challenged conventional wisdom and helped people see alternative futures -- a longtime Forrester value . . .
Here are six sites that carry interesting rebuttals and threads: Both Sides Of The Table, GigaOM, Fred Wilson's Sunday Debate, Logic Emotion, Technorati, and Techcrunch. The latter is a video discussion.
A few clarifications that may heighten the dialogue:
1) The Web is dying, not the Internet. The Web is software that we've used since circa 1994 to communicate information over the network called the Internet. Web replaced other software that used to dominate the Internet -- Usenet, Gopher, user groups, etc.. The Internet is alive and well -- it's the software on top that will change.

This conference in Paris is pretty cool. About 50% French attendees and the rest are Americans and Europeans. Venture capital, startups, big vendorites, not much enterprise. Loic and Geraldine put on a great show -- I would estimate that there are 2,000 attendees.
My talk was titled Three Social Thunderstorms. It covered: 1) Death of the Web, the approach of App Internet, 2) Social is saturated, 3) Enterprise Social is the next big opportunity.

I really wanted to chop this segment down to a 3 or 4 minute clip but the entire segment is so dang good that I just had to leave it intact. Levin starts out sharing with his audience that he is so frustrated by the tyranny thats happening to this country right now that he can barely contain his fury behind the microphone. He said its just so damn infuriating to see the greatest country on the planet attacked from within by the lilliputians that run it.

DH and I agreed before we even got married, that if we had a girl, we would name her Kathryn. We both just really liked that name. Her middle name is after my sil (dh's sister).
We had a hard time coming up with a name for Lauren, and Dave didn't like my first choice, which was Amanda. So he came up with Lauren, and her middle name is Amanda.11-07-2004, 04:58 PM #8
Erick was easy, he is named after the two most important guys in my life, my Dh- Erick and my brother- Edward

I always wanted a little girl named Alex We wanted something more formal. When Billy Joel and Christy Brinkly had a little girl named Alexa Rae I really liked that name and wanted to name her Alexa Mae (My mom's middle name was Mae, she said if we named her that she was never talking to us again )
We both just liked the name Nicole. So, there she is Alexa Nicole.11-08-2004, 06:40 PM #12

Daniel because DH wanted his name to be close to his, also my favorite book in the Bible.
Dharma got her name from the TV show Dharma & Greg.11-08-2004, 10:16 PM #13
The first baby was a toughie!!!!! Dh is a junior although he doesn't use Jr. he does the II thing........we were having the first grandbaby in the family and I remember my MIL telling me how awful it was to have her MIL tell her she had to name her son after his Dad......so what does she do......she pressured me endlessly about naming our baby after his daddy and I didn't want to!!!! Good thing she was a girl!!!!!! Katie is named after my Grandma and her middle name is my Mom's middle name. I am asked all the time if she is a Katherine and she isn't, she is just a Katie!
ds came almost 7 years later and by that time everyone was just thankful that I was having another baby so no pressure on the name. I knew immediately that he was a boy (no sonogram to confirm it.....just a strong feeling) and we both liked the name Kyle so that is who he is!!!11-08-2004, 11:39 PM #14

Wilczewski wins Euro 168lb belt
By Pasi Taavitsainen at ringside
Piotr Wilczewski (29-1, 10 KOs) scored an eleventh round TKO over hometown favorite Amin Asikainen (28-4, 19 KOs) on Friday night to claim the European super middleweight title at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland. The bout was also for the WBO-Intercontinental belt.
Unbeaten light welterweight Denis Shafikov (26-0-1, 15 KOs) scored a fifth round TKO over Nugzar Margvelashvili (18-10, 7 KOs). Margvelashvili took an eight-count in round four after a body punch punch from the southpaw Shafikov, who pretty much did what he wanted to do.
Light welterweight Edis Tatli (14-0, 3 KOs) outpointed Stuart Green (15-11) over eight by scores of 80-72, 79-73 and 80-72.
Cruiserweight Juho Haapoja (14-2-1, 10 KOs) scored a fourth round TKO over Mantas Tarvydas (17-10, 11 KOs)
Featherweight Andreas Evensen (14-2, 6 KOs) stopped Yordan Vasilev (9-21-2, 1 KO) in round three. The fight was stopped after Evensen dropped Vasilev for the third time. Evensen is a former world title challenger.
Super featherweight Eva Wahlstrom (5-0, 2 KOs) won a six-rounder over Kristine Shergold (4-5, 1 KO). Shergold took an 8-count in round four after a hard short right to the head. Shergold was very strong and landed very good body shots every round, but Eva was better and hit harder. Scores were 59-55, 58-56 and 58-56.
Welterweight Jussi Koivula (8-0, 3 KOs) topped Konstantins Sakara (7-18-1, 6 KOs) over six by scores of 60-54, 60-56 and 59-55.

Increased support for UKIP in recent local elections has been interpreted as a protest against the out of touch, carbon copy mainstream parties. For any voter seeking to protest our broken political system, voting UKIP is a huge own goal. UKIP allow the mainstream parties to keep the conversation on immigrants and the EU, and off the major issues of our time.
Do You Know What You Are Voting For?
UKIP describes itself as a libertarian party. UKIP, like the Tea Party in the US, seems to fundamentally misunderstand Libertarianism. Libertarianism is about the smallest possible amount of government, with a focus on personal liberty and devolved power. Both UKIP and the Tea Party, with their socially conservative attitudes, believe personal liberty extends only to people like them.
UKIP would cap net immigration at 50,000 a year, this number would exclude work permits and students. Students (282,833) and work permits (147,385) made up 430,218 of the immigration numbers last year. That leaves only 78,190. So UKIP are actually talking about reducing immigration by 28,000 people a year. Hardly revolutionary.
Gay Marriage
UKIP don't have a published policy on Education, but they have one on Gay Marriage. UKIP oppose Gay Marriage as "There is, apart from a small but noisy minority within the gay community, no strong demand for this".
The UKIP defence policy sounds very much like a conversation down the pub, with about the same level of consideration and evidence base.
UKIP would disestablish the Ministry of Defence and put decisions of war and peace in the hands of the armed forces. That is the definition of a military state. Who's for a coup?
UKIP rail against the poor terms and conditions of serving and retired members of the armed forces, and Britain's declining military power. They make a vast range of promises around replacing Trident with "a new advanced stealthy cruise type missile", priority healthcare for forces personnel, and all sorts of new kit, perks and housing, all on the 2010 military budget.
The UKIP policy platform is a messy series of un-evidenced, often contradictory sound bites – all sound and fury, signifying nothing.
UKIP are Omniphobic
It would be futile to highlight UKIP as homophobic, transphobic or xenophobic – they are omniphobic. They are appalled and terrified about pretty much everything which doesn't look and sound like them. They appeal to the darker angels of our nature which seek out and magnify superficial differences, whilst overlooking the vastness of our common humanity.
In 2010, the party suspended its Chairman for London, Paul Wiffen, after he made the following racist rant on an internet forum.
"You Left-wing scum are all the same, wanting to hand our birth right to Romanian gypsies who beat their wives and children into begging and stealing money they can gamble with, Muslim nutters who want to kill us and put us all under medieval Sharia law, the same Africans who sold their Afro-Caribbean brothers into a slavery that Britain was the first to abolish."
More recently UKIP candidates were found to be posting pictures of themselves making Nazi salutes, and one candidate created the above picture of himself as one of Hitler's henchmen using photoshop.
The following is a comment on the UKIP Facebook Page in response to the rise in the UKIP vote.
There is also significant crossover in both candidates and supporters, from the British National Party (BNP) to UKIP. UKIP are the polite face of the same old 'loathe thy neighbour' politics of hate and envy.
Recent discussions on the UKIP online member's forum on homosexuality and gay marriage were particularly enlightening.
Former parliamentary candidate and branch chairman for Oxford, Dr Julia Gasper claimed "As for the links between homosexuality and paedophilia, there is so much evidence that even a full-length book could hardly do justice to the subject."
UKIP member Jan Zolyniak posted: "The evidence is quite clear that the percentage of homosexuals who molest children is very high and cannot be dismissed."
Douglas Denny from the Bognor Regis branch in West Sussex wrote: "What irritates me is they (sic) way they and their leftie, neo-Commie followers seem to want to force the rest of us to consider them as normal."
A vote for UKIP, whether you like it nor not, is a vote for a party of afraid, angry, hateful people.
The Real Issues
While UKIP have lots to say on matters such as two people of the same sex loving each other, or reducing the number of immigrants each year by 28,000, or withdrawing from the European Union – they have absolutely nothing to say about the real issues which are impacting people.
Wages and the Cost of Living
The three most expensive benefit payments in the UK are Tax Credits, Housing Benefit and Child Benefit, totalling £56.4bn a year. These are not 'out of work' benefits, meaning 65% of the total spent on working age benefits, is going to people in work.
These payments have been set up and used mostly by people in work, but whose wages are below subsistence levels. In the last five years, wages have increased by just 10%. Inflation according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 17% during the same period. This means a real terms wage drop of 7%.
However, CPI figures represent a wide range of purchases which many average or below average earners do not buy. The UK Essentials Index which focuses on the kinds of everyday items which the UK's working and non-working poor buy showed an inflation rate of 33%.
UKIP have not a single word to say on this matter, except to blame it all on immigration.
Austerity is not necessary, it is ideological. There is no Austerity for corporations, they have seen their taxes cut. There is no Austerity for high earners, they received a tax cut of £100,000 a year in the last budget. There is no Austerity for FTSE Executives whose average pay topped £3m each last year. There is no Austerity for MPs who called for a 32% pay raise for themselves.
No, Austerity is class based. This government has plunged 200,000 children into poverty with just one of its austerity policies, the benefit cap. The Bedroom Tax has hit 660,000 households, two thirds of which contain a disabled person. Disabled and physically and mentally ill people are being hounded off their benefits by ATOS assessors – 1,300 died after being assessed as fit to work, 2,200 died before the process was completed, and 7,100 died after being deemed too ill to work but having their last weeks of life blighted by this assessment process.
UKIP have nothing to say about this.
Our political system has become endemically corrupt. In just the last two weeks, we have discovered the HMRC (our tax collecting agency) not only made 'sweetheart deals' which let tax evaders off paying billions of pounds in taxes, but pursued an unlawful criminal investigation into a whistle-blower who sought to highlight the issue.
The Chief Executive of npower, one of the UK's biggest tax avoiders, has now been appointed to the HMRC.
It has been uncovered that one in four of the UKs top companies no longer pays any tax at all, while receiving billions from the public purse in tax credits.
Last week, MPs and the House of Lords voted through legislation which makes the NHS legally obliged to open up all but a minority of its services to competitive tender with private providers. As 206 MPs, 142 Lords and 124 cross bench Peers have direct financial interests in private health care companies – this amounted to a vote for their own pay rises.
UKIP have nothing to say about this. In fact, UKIP used half a million pounds of tax payer money to fund their own party, and has seen two of their own MEPS jailed for fraud.
Democratic Deficit
As all three major political parties have adopted the same neoliberal policies, have all signed up to Austerity and have all played a part and continue to play a part in this nightmare – we have a democratic deficit. We have no parliamentary advocates, no organised political expression of our dissent. Parliament has become utterly removed from the changing landscape of political opinion outside its own walls, and deaf to requests for change.
This might make UKIP attractive to some as a 'breath of fresh air'. But they are simply the same suits, funded by the same people who fund the Tory party, with their ties loosened.
If people feel disillusioned by the issues outlined above, UKIP are not the party to vote for. UKIP is not a protest vote. It is a vote directly in the interests of the establishment. Now all mainstream parties can continue to persecute minorities, disabled people, the working poor, the physically and mentally ill, students, the elderly and the unemployed and argue they are responding to public concern. UKIP are the embodiment of a dumbed down electorate, fed by a corporate media to express their discontent at the victims, not the instigators, of our crisis. Voting for UKIP is not a protest, it is a tremendous own goal.

Ben Affleck's adaptation of Chuck Hogan's novel Prince of Thieves has been re-named The Town, and I suspect that's not merely to avoid any confusion with Robin Hood. Hogan's story is as much about its setting—the working-class, heist-happy Boston neighborhood of Charlestown—as it is about the people who live there. Above all else, it deals with the pull of the place where one grows up, the rhythms and habits of which become part of you, like tattoos on your soul.
Affleck clearly understands that pull. As a writer, he first turned to the working-class folk of his native Boston in his Oscar-winning script with pal Matt Damon for Good Will Hunting. As a director, he made his debut with the Boston-set Dennis Lehane crime-drama adaptation Gone Baby Gone. He continues to stick to familiar territory in The Town, and as tempting as it is to want any artist to branch out, it's hard not to acknowledge how good Affleck has become within these borders.
In addition to co-adapting the script and directing, Affleck stars as Doug Macray, a Charlestown native who's also the brains behind a bank- and armored-car-robbing crew that includes his best friend, Jem (Jeremy Renner). During one robbery, the hair-trigger Jem briefly takes bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall) hostage, then worries that she could eventually identify them to the authorities. When Doug checks up on Claire to determine whether she's a threat, he unexpectedly finds himself drawn to her, even as FBI agent Adam Frawley (Jon Hamm of "Mad Men") begins putting the pieces together and closing in.
As an actor, Affleck has often seemed to be trying too hard, and there was reason for concern that, working as his own director, he might not find his own best performance. But he's practically wearing a second skin here, effectively capturing a guy whose tentative first steps at changing his life—giving up drinking and joining AA; trying to separate himself from his longtime attachment to Jem's sister, Krista (Blake Lively)—have him wondering if he can escape his hometown's gravity entirely. It was already clear from Gone Baby Gone that Affleck knows how to direct actors, and he proves it again with Renner's edgy performance and a sly piece of work from Hamm as a screw-the-rulebook Fed, who gets some of the script's best lines.
Affleck's also got a keen sense for the crime thriller genre, and it's probably here that he stretches himself most. There were plenty of effectively tense moments in Gone Baby Gone, and he nails that tension again here, particularly during The Town's climactic robbery of Fenway Park. But he's also surprisingly terrific at action set pieces, including a thrilling extended car chase through the narrow streets, and a cops-and-robbers gunfight that's edited with surgical precision. While this may be primarily a character-based drama, it's got a sense for action beats that makes something like Takers look even more like the sloppy, lazy junk it is.
At its core, though, The Town—like Hogan's novel—is best as an exploration of how a culture's misguided pride in its down-and-dirty history becomes the way it defines itself, to its own self-destruction. Affleck doesn't have time here to delve into the locals vs. gentrifying yuppies dynamic in the same depth as Prince of Thieves, but it's just present enough—in the arrival of OxyContin as the drug of choice, in Doug's challenge to the aging local crime lord (Pete Postlethwaite)—to provide a context for Doug's attraction to Claire, who represents everything the town isn't. As much plot as Affleck efficiently condenses from Prince of Thieves, he never forgets to provide the atmosphere that is The Town's foundation.
He does make one fairly significant change in the story's resolution, one less bleakly convinced that these cycles are eternal—and, frankly, one that doesn't feel quite right for this story. Maybe he felt he'd been down that road already with Gone Baby Gone. Maybe it's a hint that Affleck himself is ready to move on. But if The Town is the kind of movie he'll continue to make as long as he keeps getting pulled back to Beantown, maybe we can convince him to hang in there just a little bit longer.
The Town opens at Carmike 10 Friday, Sept. 17.

The soldiers fired firebombs, gas bombs, concussion grenades, and physically assaulted the worshipers, inflicting this large number of injuries.
The Palestinian News & Info Agency (WAFA) has reported that the soldiers also attacked Mohammad Mojahed, one of the guards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and kidnapped him, and that more settlers and soldiers and settlers have gathered in the area.
An employee of the Ministry of Waqf, in occupied Jerusalem, said that dozens of soldiers and settlers are surrounding the area, and are trying to remove the Palestinians by force as the settlers are planning to pray in the yards of the mosque.
He added that the soldiers have also been heavily deployed in different parts of the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, and that the police have declared the area a closed military zone to all Palestinians.
Magharba Gate, shortly after it opened, to allow tourists and settlers through, an issue which led to further tension especially since a large number of Palestinians were pushed away, and were removed from the mosque area.
Local sources said the army later withdrew from the yards of the al-Aqsa mosque, leaving people with dozens of injuries,as they took the kidnapped mosque guard to a local police station in the occupied city.
Soldiers and settlers are still heavily deployed around the mosque area, and in different parts of the Old City.

A check for $1,000, another $1,100 in cash, a gift card to Westshore Pizza for $13.06.
To kill someone?
That's the sum authorities say Edward Graziano of Palm Harbor paid a man to kill his wife. The man ended up being an undercover Pinellas County deputy. Graziano was charged Thursday with murder solicitation.
The price for the hit sounds low.
It's not.
"It didn't strike me as low, to be quite candid," longtime Pasco County prosecutor Mike Halkitis said Friday from his office in New Port Richey.
"I've heard of people killed for as little as a carton of cigarettes," retired prosecutor Bob Dekle said from Gainesville. He worked out of Lake City for 30 years and prosecuted Ted Bundy. He now teaches at the University of Florida's law school. "I wish I had kept a list," he said, "of all the piddling amounts people killed for."
There's no going rate for so-called contract killings or murder-for-hire schemes. Sometimes the sums are next to nothing. Sometimes they're six figures.
Also important to keep in mind here is that in many cases — including the Graziano case — the "hit man" is really an undercover law enforcement officer. They might throw out a low-ball offer just to get an arrest.
The Australian Institute of Criminology five years ago released a study on 163 attempted contract killings in that country between 1989 and 2002. The lowest price was $250. The highest was almost $50,000. The average was $8,200.
A wealthy socialite in Texas once offered an undercover investigator $200,000 in jewels as a down payment to kill her husband — but the same investigator on another occasion was offered seven Atari computer games, three dollar bills and $2.30 in nickels and dimes. A teenage boy wanted him to kill a classmate who liked the same girl.
Here in Florida, a 60-year-old woman in Tavares admitted in 2007 that she was part of a plot to kill her son's wife, his two teenage stepchildren and his daughter. She had agreed to pay $400. A hundred a head.
But a contract killing isn't about the value of a life. It's a business transaction.
"It's based on the level of sophistication of the players involved," UF law professor and former Tampa federal prosecutor Mike Seigel said Friday.
More than that, said Don Barbee, the lead prosecutor in Hernando County, "a lot of it depends on the socioeconomic status of the parties involved."
In other words, the more the employer has, the more money he can offer.
Meanwhile, for the employee, it's a question of time and effort.
"It's very simple," said the head of the economics department at the University of South Florida.
Kwabena Gyimah-Brempong teaches a class called the economics of crime. He said Friday that a contract killing is like anything else. It's a cost-benefit equation inside the head of the individual who has to decide whether to murder for money.
And anyone who's thinking about it, he said, is almost by definition not thinking about the life involved. The variables look more like this: What are the chances of getting caught? How much money is at stake?
It doesn't take long to kill somebody. Or at least it doesn't have to. Looked at like that, $2,100 and a pizza pie, too, doesn't seem like a bad rate.
Times researcher Shirl Kennedy contributed to this report, which also used information from the Orlando Sentinel, Texas Monthly and Slate.

The Newest Desktop Addiction: Buckycubes
These tiny, powerful rare earth magnets are enough fun to keep you distracted from work for hours.
The latest tiny desk toy from the makers of the popular Buckyballs is Buckycubes. Like Buckyballs, Buckycubes are made from powerful rare earth magnets, and also like Buckyballs, Buckycubes are endlessly entertaining.
The cubes come in sets of 125 and can be formed into a multitude of mini-sculptures and patterns (The Big Book of Bucky is 84 pages of how-tos), but are also fun to simply fidget with. In fact, you probably won't be able to stop. The magnets are so strong that they practically take on a life of their own and shift themselves into position. Due to the infinite possibilities afforded by the 125 tiny cubes, this desk toy is undeniably addictive.

iPhone Case Uses Heat Sensors To Create Night Vision Lens [CES 2014]
The Flir One lets users map their environment using temperature.
Another nifty item being demoed at CES 2014 is the Flir One, a personal thermal imaging device that is fitted into an iPhone like a protective case.
The case fits onto the iPhone 5 or 5S and allows users to view their surroundings as a live thermal image right on their screen. It allows users to see the heat signatures of people, animals, and other heat sources like furnace ducts from up to a hundred meters away. The Flir One also lets users see small differences in temperature.
According to the Flir website, the device can be used for several things like detecting areas for repair or improvement in the home, helping people to "see" things in the dark and protect themselves, among others.
The device comes with a free app that makes it easy for users to capture and save thermal images and then share them on their social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The company is looking to release a software development kit to enable developers to create apps for the device.
The Flir One comes with its own battery source that can power the device for over two hours of continuous use. The battery can also be configured and used as a power source for the iPhone.
Interested folks can already pre-order their Flir One case for around $350, but it won't ship until spring.

The Honda Indy Toronto curse continues for James Hinchcliffe.
Plagued by a throttle problem before the start of Sunday's second race, the 26-year-old from Oakville, Ont., was never in contention, falling four laps behind the leaders and taking last among the 21 finishers. A day earlier, Hinchcliffe was a career-best eighth over the 11-turn, 1.75-mile street course at Exhibition Place.
Hinchcliffe finished 11th in 2011 before being forced out last year with engine trouble.
"I was surprisingly calm," Hinchcliffe said of sitting in his car while his crew worked feverishly to fix it. "I was thinking, 'Yes, it seems about right. It's Toronto so something had to happen.'
"It's even more depressing that it happens before the race even starts so you never even had a chance. If it happened halfway through at least you were having fun for a while but it's not a lot of fun when you're driving around (four) laps down and you know you're not in contention for anything.
"It's a disappointing weekend, eighth and last is nothing to brag about. But I still get the privilege of coming here and racing in front of my home crowd. I'm sorry we couldn't give them a better show."
Alex Tagliani of Lachenaie, Que., was 10th, tying a season-best effort, after finishing 17th on Saturday.
"Overall I'm pretty pleased," said the 39-year-old Tagliani. "The positive is the team is going to continue to be motivated to find a way to get quicker on those new 2013 tires.
"We know how to go fast but the new tires for us are a pretty big headache. The other teams have found a way to find grip and a way to go quick and we've lost that pace. It's the difference between fighting easily in the top six every weekend and struggling to be in the top-10."
There was no chance of a top-10 finish Sunday for Hinchcliffe. He was scheduled to go from the No. 12 spot but didn't participate in IndyCar's first standing start since '08 due to a stuck throttle pedal.
That relegated him to the back of the field and by the time his car was pushed back to the pits and the problem was fixed, Hinchcliffe was well behind the race leaders.
"I was just going through the routine of the standing start and as soon as I put my foot on the throttle it stuck 100 per cent about a minute before they were giving the command to start," he said. "We tried WD-40 but unfortunately that wasn't the magic fix so we had to replace the pedal."
And with just two cautions all race, there were precious few opportunities for Hinchcliffe to actually race and seriously try to make up ground.
"We had no yellows to help us out and we ran around the back all day," he said. "We weren't going to give up ... but I wasn't going to mix it up with guys.
"I was (four) laps down so I was letting guys go. It just makes for a long afternoon."
Scott Dixon won Sunday, his third straight victory to tie Hinchcliffe for most wins this year. While Dixon moved into second in the driver's standings, Hinchcliffe dropped from fifth to eighth following the two Toronto races.
Two-time champion Paul Tracy remains the last Canadian to win here, doing so in 2003.
This marks the first time the Toronto event has consisted of two races. While fans doubled their racing pleasure, Hinchcliffe said drivers dislike doubleheaders.
"You either have to have doubleheaders at all of them or none of them," he said. "We as a team didn't have particularly strong cars here and we get penalized twice as much.
"Nobody in the series will ever warm up to these. They're too hard on the drivers, they're too hard on the teams. You get so little practise, it's so tough to get the car set up right but if we can fill grandstands Saturday and Sunday then we're going to do them because as much as we might not like it it's not about us. We can complain all we want but at the end of the day it's up to the people buying tickets and watching at home and if that's what they want then we have to find a way to make it work."
Tagliani's Barracuda Racing team operates just one car and having to run it in two weekend races is hardly ideal for the team and vehicle.
"With one car, it's pretty stressful," he said. "If we have bad luck on the first day we're in trouble for the (second) race.
"I think it's good for fans but it's stressful for us."
As usual, weekend attendance figures weren't available. But the combination of ideal summer weather and two races certainly appeared to attract plenty of spectators, a fact not lost upon both Hinchcliffe — a huge fan favourite here — and Tagliani.
"We could've stopped halfway through that race knowing we weren't giving any positions back but we weren't going to do that because these people came to see the green car go around," Hinchcliffe said. "Even if it wasn't for the win we were going to let them see it go around."
Added Tagliani: "It's pretty clear to see that this race needs to be on our schedule. The fans got the chance to experience a successful standing start,it was a great weekend in terms of temperature, what can I say? There's no question this is a good race for our series."
Notes: Tracy participated in a Stadium Super Truck demonstration event Sunday, crashing out of the seven-vehicle race on the second-last lap. ... Vancouver's Scott Hargrove was second in the USF2000 championship, 1.153 seconds behind winner Danilo Estrela.Report Typo/Error

Curators Michael Reason and Deborah Tout-Smith were delighted to welcome Judith Durham, lead singer of the 1960s folk-pop group The Seekers, when she dropped in to today to see her dress in The Melbourne Story exhibition. "It's mind-blowing. That's my dress, and it's on display in the museum!" she exclaimed as she saw it for the first time in many years.

The dress is on loan from the National Film and Sound Archive and is featured in the Melbourne music history section. Judith donated it and other outfits to the NFSA some years ago. "I love it. It was so suited to me as a person," she said. She was pleased to give Michael and Deborah some more information about how and when she wore it.
Judith bought the dress from a South Yarra boutique to wear for a Channel Nine special program called The World Of The Seekers. It became an iconic outfit when a photograph taken during the film shoot at Como House appeared on the cover of The Best of The Seekers 1968 compilation album.

Leeds United striker Alan Smith was released from the England squad on Thursday after his arrest over allegations he threw a bottle into the crowd during a match, the BBC reported.
His departure came only hours after he had been called up by coach Sven-Goran Eriksson for Saturday's friendly against Denmark as a replacement for the injured Darius Vassell.
The incident is alleged to have happened during a League Cup match against Manchester United at Elland Road on October 28.
A police spokeswoman confirmed a 23-year-old man had been arrested and released on bail. A Leeds spokesman confirmed Smith had been arrested.
Football Association spokesman Adrian Bevington said: "Further to discussions this evening, Alan Smith has left the England squad and returned to Leeds."
Reports suggested the other England players were angry that the decision had been taken by the new FA's new chief executive, Mark Palios, over Eriksson's head.
Before England's match against Turkey last month the players threatened to strike when Rio Ferdinand was withdrawn from the squad after missing a drug test.
During the Manchester United match, which was televised live, Smith was seen to throw an object. He later apologised to a girl who was in the crowd - the sister of one of his friends.
"I have spoken to the family of the young lady concerned to make sure she is all right and I have apologised," he said at the time. "The family and I believe this is the end of the matter."
Smith has not played for England since being sent off against Macedonia in October 2002, but Eriksson had turned to him after Aston Villa's Vassell hurt his knee in a club friendly in Dubai.
Ferdinand has formally denied the misconduct charge he faces for failing to take a routine drug test and requested a personal hearing with the FA.
The Manchester United player waited until the very last minute of his two-week appeal deadline to respond to the charge.
Ferdinand has been suspended from international matches pending the outcome of the disciplinary procedures.

Ever since I got my car (93' DeVille) back from the shop a few weeks ago, it has had an very high idle. It was in the shop for a smog inspection, and to get some oil leaks fixed. My mechanic said he replaced some engine seals, and tightened some bolts, to stop the oil leaks; he also fixed the coolant leak I had, which was from the water pump seal, so he replaced the water pump as well; he removed and welded the PS pump/belt tensioner bracket back together (it had broken near the bolt); he fixed a leaky injector; and finally he replaced the catalytic converter. He said he tried a lot of other different things while trying to get it to pass smog, until finally he replaced the catalytic converter and it passed, so I'm not sure what else he did before that.
Anyway, after getting it back, the idle is extremely high, it can coast for a few miles at 40mph easily. I have already tried readjusting the ISC motor (which seems to be working fine [i.e. it retracts and extends when I tell it to in the diagnostic menu]). This is causing extremely low mileage in town (6-7mpg), and I also have to ride the brakes at speeds below 25mph. It still seems to get around 25mpg on the freeway, however I can occasionally feel it accelerate by itself when coasting down hills.

Home construction business picks up
Wall Street hit a pothole Friday.
The Dow lost 40 points on news that the economy added just 88,000 jobs in March. Economists expected more than twice as many. Unemployment dipped to 7.6 percent, only because analysts say more people quit looking for work.
Behind those gloomy numbers there are new jobs to be found, in of all places, home construction. An industry laid low by the recession is searching for skilled workers.
After limping along for years, the home building industry in central Indiana is running to keep up. Matt Day pours and finishes concrete.
"There are 40-, 50-, 60-hour weeks, sometime even 70," he said. "We work seven days a week. It is constant construction work."
The Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis says the number of new home building permits in the nine-county area is up 40 percent from last year.
Ryland Homes president Alan Goldsticker says the company is off to its best building season in seven years. Its staff has increased 15 percent. But sub-contractors, he says, are already stretched thin.
"Right now, we are getting by. There is a concern there will be a lack of workers," he added.
Indianapolis area contractors say they are already having trouble finding skilled workers. Five years of recession and recovery took its toll.
The company Chuck Churney works for laid off 80 percent of its employees. The electrician and father of two held on.
"It was a struggle, barely getting by with the minimums," he said.
Juan Nunez is a framer. Most of his co-workers, he says, gave up and left. He supported a family of five by working numerous non-construction jobs.
"It was very, very difficult," Nunez said softly, "but it is good now."
It's good for a lot of businesses. Walk through an unfinished kitchen and think of everything it needs. A sink, a refrigerator, a stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave. All of those products have to made by someone, shipped by someone, sold by someone, installed by someone.
Moving companies and mortgage companies are also benefiting from the turn around and are examples of how important home construction is to rebuilding the economy.

Now that Day is working full-time and overtime again, his family is spending money on necessities they put off buying for years.
"I bought a new car, I bought new appliances, I actually purchased a house," he said through a big smile. "It's a blessing to have all this work right now."
Here's the flip side. The building spurt is increasing salaries and building costs. By one industry estimate, new home prices could jump as much as seven percent by the end of the year.

Young Women's Financial Planning: Alexa von Tobel's Advice
Most financial planning books are for people who are old, rich, or one missed payment away from bankruptcy. An Amazon search turns up gems such as Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money, which was written by a rabbi, or Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth, with the tag line "Think rich to get rich!" I'm a millennial woman with a pretty good job who refuses to stop spending $200 on a haircut. Thinking rich isn't going to cut it. I need help.
Alexa von Tobel is here for me. The 30-year-old certified financial planner is the founder and chief executive officer of LearnVest, a personal finance website. At $399—plus a small monthly fee—her company is for people who feel priced out of hiring a financial planner, which usually costs about $5,000. And now she's introduced an even cheaper version: Financially Fearless, von Tobel's do-it-yourself book, comes out on Dec. 31. For $19.99, plus the embarrassment of getting caught reading it in public, von Tobel provides all the charts, graphs, and workbooks you need to get your life in order.
While LearnVest's financial advice is universal, the examples von Tobel uses and the topics she covers—child-care costs, maternity leave—are focused on situations unique to young women. The book features section titles such as "Therapy Sesh," Sex and the City-like wordplay ("Finding 'The One' " in reference to a mutual fund), and this sentence, in the chapter about caring for the elderly: "Personally, I am obsessed with my mom, and I would do literally anything for her." Von Tobel readily admits she based the book on her own experiences. "I was customer No. 1. I graduated from Harvard and was working on Wall Street, and I still didn't know the answers to these very important questions." Her friends didn't either. "Nobody ever taught us," she says.
"So many people tell me they know they need to save, but they don't know where to start," says Karen Wimbish, head of retail retirement for Wells Fargo. Young women, it turns out, feel particularly ill-equipped. "They've been through Sept. 11, two market crashes, and the housing crisis. They're concerned about their future but … they're intimidated." In a Wells Fargo survey of affluent women, many of whom earned as much as or more than their spouses, 91 percent said knowing how to properly invest money was important, but 41 percent admitted they didn't know how. And despite being well-off, only 58 percent said they actively saved money.
Von Tobel doesn't only tell her clients to save; she also promises that if they read her book, they'll achieve their life dreams. "We can make everything you want come true!" she says when I tell her my plan to follow Financially Fearless so I can quit work and buy a French château. "Want a $1 million home? Want to retire early? We can do that—it's just a question of math."
The most refreshing part of Financially Fearless is that it doesn't assume you have a husband or partner to take care of you, but it does assume you have a career. Von Tobel runs through reasons women often put off financial planning, including the whopper, "When I get married someday, I won't have to worry about money." She writes: "This is an outrageous excuse." The second-best thing about Financially Fearless is that the section about the costs and benefits of going to grad school references Felicity.
The book's core philosophy transcends its girlfriendy tone: Fifty percent of your take-home pay should go for essential purchases, 20 percent should be saved, and the remaining 30 percent is free for you to use however you like. More specifically, you should spend no more than 30 percent of your take-home pay on your rent, 10 percent on groceries, and 10 percent on other essentials (utility bills, transportation), for a total of 50 percent. If you live in an expensive city such as New York or San Francisco, your rent may be higher, but von Tobel insists that you still need to hit that 50 percent mark. I live in New York, but luckily my rent is only 24 percent of my take-home pay. Without even trying, my essentials add up to 45 percent. Maybe my method of not budgeting is working?
That ignores the hard part: the future. The book asks you to write down your expectations for life at age 65, which as an unmarried 31-year-old I find hard to imagine. Where do I want to live? What do I want to do? Who do I want to be? At one point I become so confused I just write, "Diane Keaton." Whomever I become, if I want to quit working before I'm too elderly to enjoy it, I have to start saving now.
My first job in New York was a magazine internship that paid $10 an hour and didn't provide benefits, so I put everything on my credit card and ended up several thousand dollars in debt. Once I got a salaried position, I paid that debt off in huge, painful chunks. Within a year, it was gone; since then I've paid my monthly balance in full. Von Tobel says that credit card debt is the biggest money problem for young people and that it must be paid off before you can start saving. I do have a company-backed 401(k) plan and a small savings account to fund vacations and get me through minor emergencies, but I don't have what von Tobel calls a freedom fund of six months' to a year's worth of income in case I fall ill or get injured. I'm in good company: A Gallup poll released earlier this year found that only 30 percent of Americans have a long-term savings plan. It's tempting to blame the housing crisis and recession, but as a nation we've long been terrible budgeters. When Gallup asked how many of us were saving in 1951, only 40 percent of Americans answered that they were.
The section titled "How Much Will This Baby Cost Me?"—which cites a United States Department of Agriculture report claiming it takes $234,900 to raise a child to adulthood, not including college expenses—makes me start thinking things like, do children really need diapers? Von Tobel says if I save $200 a month and don't have a child for five years, I'll have a $12,000 baby fund. If I invest that properly, I could have even more. Granted, $12,000 would buy less than six months of day care in New York, which I'll need if, like 43 percent of married mothers, I continue to work full time. But it's better than nothing. I can afford $200 a month, but can I afford that on top of all the other money I'm supposed to be saving for my own twilight years? What if I have more than one kid? "I know it's a lot," von Tobel says. "But think of it this way: You can take out a loan for college, but you can't take out a loan for retirement."
To help make saving seem more fun, Financially Fearless offers tips on how to spend that discretionary 30 percent. "I don't want to tell you what to buy. I just want to help you think about why you're buying it," von Tobel says. To do that, she relies on her "cost per happy." This isn't as ridiculous as it sounds. A $24 manicure may last an entire week, which works out to 14¢ an hour. But for how long do you really enjoy that extra drink at dinner or all those clothes you never wear? According to my bank statement, I spent $100 on a glorious massage last month that I don't regret at all. But I also paid $14 for one cocktail I can barely remember.
I've received only one paycheck since reading Financially Fearless, but I immediately dumped 15 percent of it into my savings account, and I'll repeat the process again next week. "Direct deposit is easier," von Tobel says, but I'm not ready for that yet. Drinks and dinners are the simplest things for me to give up, although I still attend them so I can see my friends. Von Tobel says it takes about two months to break bad money habits—but it'll be decades before I can reap the benefits of a sound, secure retirement plan.
When I tell her I'm a little embarrassed it's taken me so long to get my act together, she insists I shouldn't feel guilty. "You're not alone," she says. "Of all the thousands and thousands of people I've talked to about this, I've never met anyone who said, 'No thanks, I'm good with my money.' "

Department of History > Faculty > Faculty (Alphabetical) > Thomas J. Finan > The Virtual Lough Key Project
The Virtual Lough Key Project uses a variety of cutting edge technologies to recreate and explore the medieval landscape of Lough Key, Co Roscommon, Ireland. Lough Key was an important landscape in medieval Gaelic Ireland, as it was the setting for a number of important monastic sites in addition to the Rock of Lough Cé, the caput of the MacDermot dynasty of Connacht. Recent research into a variety of sites and topics related to Lough Key were recently presented in Medieval Lough Cé: History, Archaeology, Landscape (Four Courts Press, 2010), edited by Dr. Thomas Finan.
VLKP will take a variety of freely available digital information and archaeological survey data and recompile it all in an interactive format using GoogleEarth as the primary mode of exploration. Similar projects have been undertaken at other heritage sites around the world, most notably with the Rome Reborn Project.
What will make this project so innovative is the ability to change and alter digital reconstructions based upon particular options selected by the viewer. The choices will then lead the viewer to a better understanding of likely archaeological and historical interpretations of complicated and sometimes contentious issues in medieval Irish studies.
The project is in Phase I right now, which is the collection and manipulation of data to be presented in the viewer. We will be posting material on this shortly!

You're My Puppy. Let's Be Friends!

Little Oakley meets his big brother!
Awe, Kandace!
Very adorable photo! Sure does remind me of Norman Rockwell, too.
Norman Rockwell is still alive.
They sure look sweet. I wonder if they're going to get into any mischief together in the near future? I envision a lot of running, romping and generally having fun, then more cuddling and sleeping it off like in the precious picture above. So nice!
What joy! This may be the sweetest Sheltie photo I've ever seen. It's clear that Big Brother already knows how to be gentle and loving with Oakley. And that Oakley is so comfortable in his arms. They are going to best buds forever. What joy!
This picture is too, too precious. The little boy is so gently cradling Oakley. I hope they grow up with a deep bond of love and devotion to each other. I love Oakley's wonderful smile and his ears. He looks like my dearly departed sheltie named Hunter. Thanks for sharing this handsome twosome with us.
Aw…Now I want another puppy..! A sable.
Me too!! So so cute
They look like they're bonding already! I love how sweetly Oakley's big brother is holding him. <3
So sweet. Picture brought tears!
This pic made my morning!!!! They will be the best of friends!!!
nice picture to wake up to
What a nice picture! They'll grow together.
Pure Joy! Nothing like a boy and his dog. May they have many wonderful adventures together!
that is just too sweet!
I see best buds in the making!
This is too much sweetness for one photo! I spy the beginning of a beautiful friendship. May your family enjoy many years of happiness and fun with your newest little addition!
What a beautiful and touching portrait of two brothers!
And based on my favorite Sheltie 'saying' ["If Lassie had been a Sheltie, Timmy would never have gotten close enough to fall into the well."], little Oakley will soon be looking out for his big brother!
I love your saying!!!
This is just too precious!
And a new life long bond is being formed, I suspect these two will be inseperable. Big brother is a little cutie pie and is already being schooled on the right way to treat his new companion. I love Oakley's name, the tipped ears and those little pink feets! So . . . which one is the luckier one? Way to go Kandace, a match made in Heaven.

Estimating the Elasticity of Demand and the Production Response for Nitrogen Fertiliser on Irish Farms
The application of artificial fertiliser continues to be a vital component of the production system on the bulk of Irish farms, accounting for approximately nine percent of total costs on dairy and cattle farms (Hennessy et al. 2011). However, the average application of artificial nitrogen fertiliser per hectare of grassland has been in decline recently. This reduction in use is likely due to a number of factors including better on-farm grassland management, as well as better management and utilisation of organic manures, the introduction of the Rural Environmental Protection Scheme, the Nitrates Directive, and more recently higher fertiliser prices. Changes in the level of artificial nitrogen usage are likely to have significant implications for agricultural productivity and the environment, both in terms of nitrate emissions and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, a better understanding of the factors affecting fertiliser demand, as well as the relationship between fertiliser use and agricultural production levels is required. In this study an unbalanced panel dataset was constructed using data for the period 2000 to 2010 from the Irish National Farm Survey (NFS) and used to estimate two fixed effects models. The first model estimated the elasticity of demand for artificial nitrogen fertiliser applied on grassland. A second fixed effects model was developed to estimate the relationship between stocking rate and the level of artificial nitrogen applied on grassland.

text: RICHMOND, Va., April 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaleo (formerly Intelliject) today announced that it has entered into a $150 million debt facility with PDL BioPharma (NASDAQ: PDLI) to enable kaleo to support commercialization of EVZIO™(naloxone hydrochloride injection) and development of key pipeline products. Under the financing, PDL provided $150 million in cash at closing and will receive interest on the principal outstanding. The note is backed by royalty payments on kaleo's first product (Auvi-Q™ in the US and Allerject™ in Canada) ( www.auvi-q.com) and a portion of the net sales on its second product (EVZIO™)( www.evzio.com). Once the note is repaid, kaleo will resume receiving 100% of all product royalties and net sales. The funds will enable kaleo to support the commercialization of EVZIO (approved by the FDA on April 3, 2014), to invest in the development of pipeline products and repay existing debt. EVZIO is intended for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose, as manifested by life-threatening respiratory depression. Kaleo is a pioneer in life saving products that provide for peace of mind that patients can carry in their pockets. Kaleo products are designed to become part of a patient's everyday life – always there, but invisible until needed.

The Speakeasy at SXSW, sponsored by adidas
The Difference Engine
Monday, March 12, 2012 from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM (CDT)
The Speakeasy is a day-long series of small sessions amongst makers, doers, innovators, artists, philosophers, futurist, hackers, nerds - people who love to speculate on technology, art, humanity, the future, and who don't mind whiteboards, post-it notes, sharpies, and drawing/jotting/posting. It's a combination of smart people and the future facing technologies, and tech theories or quandaries they're dealing with.
We'll start the day much like an unconference - posting the session topics and inviting participants to suggest additional ideas to be explored during the day. Each session will be about 45 minutes in length - and we'll run up to three simultaneously depending on the turnout.
Each session will feature a provocation - a person or group of people initiating the session with a big idea. The groups can decide whether to handle their session as an ideation & white-boarding session, a "fishbowl" in which participants "tag in" to the conversation, hack sessions for light prototyping, a hands-on peer learning 'class', or a debate. The only requirement is that sessions not be structured as "panels/presenters with audience" - we believe everyone has big questions to ask, good ideas to share and useful concepts or skills to teach.
SXSW has grown - and with that growth the initial allure of technologists (hackers, coders, makers, theorists, futurists, artists, philosophers, etc.) sharing ideas with other technologists has been diluted amidst the parties, product launches, networking and brand promotion.
The Speakeasy will provide a space for technologists to speculate, explore, predict, hack, make, and invent. We'll play with ideas, riff on themes, debate the possibilities - in other words, we'll engage in 'intellectual jazz'.

> Singularity Remorse: How 'human' should or could technology become? Will our phones learn to console us, tell us jokes, scold us, be our friends? And as we expect our tech to seem more human, more like us, will we begin to see ourselves as hardware whose software can be continuously upgraded?
> Nostalgia for the Future: What do we miss about the way we once saw the future - full of space exploration, federations of planets, alien races, sentient robots, lasers and gamma rays, phasers and warp drives, light speed and Death Stars? What utopias or dystopias do we expect or long for today?

Beijing's Patience May Be Running Out
The last time Beijing tried influencing a key election in Taiwan, the results were humiliating. Outraged at China's missile tests in the Taiwan Strait in the spring of 1996, voters overwhelmingly returned President Lee Teng-hui to office.
This time around, China is resorting to less spectacular pyrotechnics. But the message Communist Party leaders delivered on Feb. 21, in the form of a lengthy white paper, is just as chilling. The document from the powerful State Council says that China will not wait "indefinitely" for negotiations to reunite Taiwan to the mainland, and threatens "drastic measures, including military force," if Taipei drags its heels.
The immediate intent apparently is to intimidate voters away from Chen Shui-bian, leader of the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, and tilt support toward a moderate candidate, politician James Soong or Vice-President Lien Chan of the ruling Kuomintang. The statements also could be a warning to Lee, lest he make more moves in the direction of independence before the next president is sworn in.
But there are also reasons to believe that a dangerous shift in Beijing's thinking is under way. For one, the Taiwanese have done little to provoke China: All three candidates want better ties with Beijing, and even Chen has sharply toned down his rhetoric. Also, the document was no hot-headed outburst from hard-liners. Analysts say it was the product of months of discussion among military and foreign-policy mandarins.
In truth, Beijing's patience may be running out. Regaining Taiwan has been a priority of President Jiang Zemin and other leaders since the handovers of Hong Kong and Macao. But as the years pass, a new democratic culture is taking root in Taiwan, and reunification looks more unlikely. "The Chinese are frustrated, and their frustration is building," says a Western observer in Taipei who tracks cross-strait ties.
Lee's declaration last July that talks between the two countries should be done on a "state-to-state" basis sent tempers soaring in Beijing. "Taiwan wants independence," claims Yan Xue Tong, foreign-policy studies director at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations. "History proves almost no country can get independence without war."
Beijing may be gaining confidence that it can prevail in a confrontation. Although the Chinese navy is no match for the U.S. Seventh Fleet, the two Sovremennyy-class destroyers it is buying from Russia may be equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles. That could make Washington think harder about sending aircraft carriers to the Taiwan Strait.
China also has beefed up deployment of missiles capable of hitting targets on Taiwan. Defense experts such as Peter Brookes, Republican adviser on Asia to the House International Relations Committee, believe China's aim is to show "you don't have to invade Taiwan to take it over." If China can prove that its missiles would overwhelm any defense system Taiwan could erect, Beijing could intimidate Taipei into capitulating before suffering devastating damage to the island's key military and economic infrastructure. The white paper "shows America that this Taiwan independence issue should not be touched," says Su Ge of Beijing's Foreign Affairs College.
PROTEST VOTE? Yet China's gambit could backfire. The reaction in Washington has been fierce. The Senate is now expected to approve a new bill to enhance Taiwan's security that already has passed the House. And congressional approval of the Clinton Administration's deal to allow China into the World Trade Organization may be doomed for this year. In Taiwan, the harsh tactics could harden sentiment against Beijing. Even the pro-Beijing Soong has declared that "the people of Taiwan will absolutely not accept Communist China forcing us toward negotiation."
For now, the Taiwanese are taking Beijing's tirade in stride. "I don't see any influence on our business at all," says United Microelectronics Corp. CEO Peter Chang. "This is the regular threat that we see." But mistakes happen. And the danger that one could spark an actual conflict is growing.
