Hillsborough inquest to hear about victim from Cannock
The inquest into the Hillsborough disaster is due to hear evidence about the death of David Birtle from Cannock,
Ninety six football fans died in a crush at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in 1989. It was the worst stadium disaster in English sports history.
The inquest into the deaths of the Liverpool fans is taking place in a purpose built court in Warrington, and began in March 2014, after the results of the original inquests were quashed in December 2012.
More images released to find Hillsborough helpers
New pictures have been released as part of a witness appeal in the on-going Hillsborough inquests in Warrington. 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives in the disaster in 1989.
Police describe attempts to revive Hillsborough victim
A jury's heard how police tried to revive a teenage victim of the Hillsborough disaster in the hope of getting a response.
Jill Brooke, a PC in 1989, tried to help a colleague giving artificial respiration to Colin Wafer on the pitch but somebody announced he was dead.
We are not medical people so we have to keep working as long as we can in the hope that we are going to get some response.
Mrs Brooke said the 19 year old bank clerk did not appear to show any signs of life during her time with him.
The inquest into his death heard that Colin had gone to the match alone on a coach from Liverpool. His body was identified by his brother in the early hours of the following morning.
Stoke-on-Trent Hillsborough victim: Getting match tickets was the best day of his life
When his tickets for the Liverpool and Nottingham Forest match arrived in the post, Paul Murray from Stoke-on-Trent jumped in the air and shouted, "This is the best day of my life" - his mother Edna told the Hillsborough Inquest today.
The tickets were a 14th birthday present and they arrived three days before his death in the disaster in 1989.
Paul was a church choirboy and supported Liverpool because his grandfather came from the city.
His former schools have named their football competitions after him.
His mother Edna Murray said, "Paul often said I want to be famous and in a strange way his wish was granted in a small part of Stoke-on-Trent."

9. 8. 2006 - Czech Airlines Announces an Increase in Its Fuel Surcharge
Prague, August 9, 2006
As a result of yet another significant increase in oil prices, which reached the level of USD 75 per barrel last week, Czech Airlines (CSA) announces an increase in its existing fuel surcharge, effective August 15, 2006.
The surcharge on tickets to European destinations will be increased by USD 2. In total, passengers will be paying USD 25 per flight for tickets purchased in the Czech Republic, and USD 23 per flight for tickets purchased in other countries. The surcharge for long distance flights, where fuel makes up the majority of the costs, will total USD 67. This represents an increase of USD 7 per flight.
CSA has decided to take this step after a thorough analysis of current market conditions and after similar measures have been announced by other carriers such as Air France and KLM. It is a temporary measure, which will be cancelled as soon as the price of oil, quoted at the Rotterdam terminal, drops below USD 65 per barrel and stays there for at least 30 days.

Ghost estates haunt Ireland after property boom and bust
By Marie-Louise Gumuchian
STONEPARK, Ireland (Reuters) - The advertising catalog promised a new residential development, with a creche, tennis court and a mini golf course, minutes from the bustling center of the Irish town of Longford.
But as the leaking sewerage, pot-holed roads, lack of street lights and abandoned half-built houses around his home testify, the Silver Birches estate is far from what karate teacher John Killane had hoped for his family.
Wiring and abandoned building materials are scattered across the site making the grounds a dangerous playground for his children. Some of his neighbors also complain of rats coming to a nearby pool.
He and his wife say that with the developer in liquidation and with property prices slumping, there is little they can do but wait for help from the local council.
"This, which is a family home, is now slowly but surely turning into a derelict," the 45-year-old Killane said.
"If I were to try and sell my house right now, I'd say I would be laughed off the face of the earth."
With more than half of its 50 houses empty or unfinished, Silver Birches has been dubbed a "ghost estate" -- one of 620 residential developments around Ireland that are a haunting legacy of the former Celtic Tiger's property boom and bust.
After two years of austerity, Ireland still faces a slow climb out of recession as it tries to deal with the fallout of a crash that left an estimated oversupply of at least 100,000 housing units and the cost of rescuing its exposed lending sector mounts. Continued...

compare and contrast the pros and cons of agriculture
One definition of agriculture is "The art and science of crop and livestock production. In its broadest sense, agriculture comprises the entire range of technologies associated with the production of useful products from plants and animals, including soil cultivation, crop and livestock management, and the activities of processing and marketing."
No agriculture then the Earth's population becomes subsistence farmers with a resulting significant drop in population.

text: Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza's Grand Tour took him not to the Roman and Greek relics of the continent of Europe, but to the Incan relics of South America. In 1995, he took a sketchbook, clothes, and a poetry book to observe Macchu Picchu. Siza's sketches are on display at the Canadian Centre for Architecture as part of Alturas de Macchu Picchu (the name taken from Chilean Pablo Neruda's Canto General)—but with a twist. Siza's work is lined up next to the work of Peruvian photographer Martin Chambí, shown. Chambí beat Siza to the 15th-to-16th-century palace complex by about 50 years. The pairing is yet another way that architects can feed their nostalgia for sketching and how it translates to practice. Siza's 1977 housing development in Portugal serves as a case study. cca.qc.ca • Through April 29.

"Well, I'm heading out there around the 25th of June for the padded camp, where it sounds like they could be offering me," said Shipley. "I'm really excited to get out there and have been talking with Coach Poppinga and Coach Cahoon and they're awesome guys. It's a great situation and I'm excited."
Apparently Shipley has been receiving some good vibes from the Cougar coaching staff, leading him to believe that an offer could be coming soon.
"It's sounding like it," Shipley said. "I don't know for sure but it kind of sounds that way. I just got my first offer from Wyoming, and Oregon State and Oregon are showing a lot of interest in me."
Along with Inoke Lotulelei of Cottonwood High School and Greg Weichers of Bingham, Shipley stated that he is considered one of the top prospects in the hunt for the second receiver scholarship offer allotted for the class of 2013.
"BYU has told me that I'm on the top of their board and that I'm number one right now," said Shipley. "They said they're looking at two other guys but that I'm at the top right now. They said they like what they're seeing of me on my film and all I have to do is go out there and keep doing what I've been doing on my film and when they come out to watch me. It's a good feeling and I'm excited for the future."
On June 13, many top Cougar prospects will be in attendance at BYU's Junior Day in the hopes that a coveted Cougar scholarship offer will be given. Shipley, however, won't be one of those in attendance.
"I was invited to come out for the Junior Day but I've got a lot of things going on," said Shipley. "I've got a lot of padded camps to go to and will be going to Oregon's padded camp that week. Then I'll be going to the Oregon passing camp after that. Then after that I'll be heading up to BYU. The BYU coaches didn't care that I didn't come for the Junior Day as long as I get out there some time in June."
With the prospect of possibly being offered, Shipley can't wait to get back down to BYU.
"Well, I mean, I'm not going to get greedy or anything, but from what they've said I can't be more excited thinking about it," said Shipley. "I'm just excited to get down there and get a feel for the entire program. BYU is definitely high on my list. I'm excited."
Though Shipley is being recruited as a receiver, the Cougar staff was initially considering him for defense.
"They liked me at safety at first," Shipley said. "They evaluated me more and really felt that playing receiver at the slot position is where I would be best at."
Coach Poppinga is the one that first discovered and evaluated the Wilsonville High School athlete. Now that BYU is looking at Shipley to play receiver, receiver coach Ben Cahoon has entered the recruiting fray.
"I really transitioned from Coach Poppinga to Coach Cahoon during the recruiting process," Shipley said. "[Cahoon] said that he really likes me and likes how I run my routes. I'll probably be recruited as a wide receiver there. I still talk to Coach Poppinga, but I've gotten to know Coach Cahoon a lot more since."
As previously noted, Shipley has already visited BYU before.
"When I went down to BYU the last time, I got a chance to talk to Coach Cahoon and he's just a great guy," Shipley said. "I came down for an unofficial visit during Alumni Day. I came down with my mom who lives in Las Vegas. We came up there together for a visit and got to see the campus and everything."
Touring the campus, Shipley was very impressed with what he saw.
"Oh my gosh, the campus is just amazing!" he said. "It's all just mind-blowing. You see all the great, top-of-the-line facilities they have out there surrounded by the mountains and it's just amazing. The campus is just amazing and it's a real plus in my book. I appreciated it a lot when I was out there."
While Shipley was visiting BYU, he also met with the Cougar staff.
"I met with all the coaches and it was great," said Shipley. "They showed me all the facilities and I'm excited to get out there again. I spoke with Coach Cahoon, who really knows his stuff on the field and just seems like a great mentor. He really wants his players to succeed and be the best. He's a great guy overall and really pushes his players to excel and be better. I'm excited to get out there again."
Shipley is very close friends with Wilsonville High School teammate Johnny Ragin, and both will be down at BYU in the month of June.
"I'll be there with Johnny Ragin and we're looking forward to it," Shipley said. "It would be pretty amazing to get an offer from BYU and it would be amazing playing with Johnny. It would be a blessing to play on the field with him."

John Peel, 1939-2004. Photograph: AFP/Getty Images
I listened to John Peel's show for over 25 years, on and off. Each time I listened I was astonished at the variety of music in the world, and Peel's unwavering enthusiasm for it.
One of the biggest thrills of my life was getting my own records played on his show.
This first happened in 1987 - I've still got a cassette tape of it at home. The band I was in at the time had brought out an EP on our own label and hadn't got a distribution deal, but Peel dutifully read out my home address, and we were inundated with mail from new fans and sold the lot. It was wonderful. When he played another record I was involved with earlier this year, describing us with a wink as a "brave step into the unknown", it still felt wonderful. To hear that familiar voice say our name felt like a seal of approval and cool; and I knew all the other listeners felt the same affection and respect for Peelie. He was a true arbiter of taste.
After getting a few airplays, my bandmate phoned up and tried to blag a session on his show, but was rebuffed by his then producer, the late John Walters. "It's not like booking an appointment at the dentist, you know," he was told. Peel was true to the Reithian principles of the BBC in that he educated and informed his listeners, and was never corrupted, neither by a large record company nor some two-bit indie band.
In the early 90s my band played at the John Peel roadshows in Leicester and Scunthorpe. These were, apparently, the only places left where he would bring his roadshow, which he said hadn't been attracting huge crowds. At Scunthorpe Baths, a former public swimming pool, we asked him go on stage and introduce us, which he did. He claimed this was the first time he'd ever done this, which we found impossible to believe.
Who else will give new bands exposure without being in thrall to playlists and payola? He is irreplaceable.
Thank you Peelie, for all you did for us, and for the hundreds of thousands of other musicians for whom your support was the highlight of our tiny careers, and for all your brave steps into the unknown.

Everyman Road Movies at KXFS: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Director Gilliam pulls out the stops with the hallucinatory madness, and Depp and Del Toro, as the drug deranged heroes exploring the darkest excesses of the American Dream in 1971 Vegas, give their energetic all. But 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' is relentlessly weird, wacky and tacky: it takes an hour before the pace calms down sufficiently to let in a few laughs, and only Barkin, in a brief (and superior) scene towards the end anchors the manic antics in some sort of human reality. A film of brilliant moments, but sadly less coherent - and, on senses, rather less personal - than most of Gilliam's work. Screened as part of Everyman Cinema's Road Movies residency at the King's Cross Filling Station. (18)

Well, Monday was my first time turkey hunting. Here in Michigan you have to apply for a turkey permit and I was drawn for the second week. My opening day started on Monday and I have until Sunday. It sucks only getting a week to hunt.
Joe (hubby), his dad and I all took Monday off of work and were hoping for success. We definately did our preseason scouting and it worked out for the guys. They each had drawn permits for the first week and came home with a bird opening day. But we had a heck of a time when it came to finding one to roost this past Sunday evening. We had split up to broaden our chances, but the woods were quiet - for all of us. Joe and I finally heard a couple gobbles nearly out of earshot, so at least we had a general location but that was it.
Monday morning rolled around and we up and out EARLY hoping we could pinpoint a roost location that morning. And again, quiet. We knew there were a lot of toms in the area, but luck was just against us. After deciding to move into an area that we hoped would be productive, we got busted by a turkey. lol. Figures. The jury is still out on whether it was a tom or not. It was big, very big. But we didn't see a beard.
We moved again and the guys started calling for me. And boom! Two toms sounded off! Eureka! The birds kept moving closer and then it sounded like they were hung up at the road. We moved down, crossed the road, got set up again and they started moving to us. They were hot. I was all ready, I saw a red head, saw a beard, and took moved my safety off. CLICK! Crap! It was way too loud. The toms went on alert and Joe whispered to take the shot. I pulled the trigger and knew immediately that I had rushed things. I missed clean. They took off and our luck wasn't any better the rest of the day. They called another one in, but he got hung up at some brush and gave up. Of course, we should have known he'd come in from the one direction that we didn't think he would. :p
I still had a blast though, after the initial frustration, dissappointment, and anger at myself for missing. And I can't wait to get back out. We're going to head out straight after work tomorrow, but will only get a couple hours in before shooting time ends. Hopefully, there are some birds left. I'm stuck hunting public land. And then I'll have to contend with all the other weekend hunters on Saturday.
I'm really jealous of you guys down in states where you can shoot multiple birds and have weeks to hunt.

In the final dispatch, he looks at the last of Somalia's poets, once a title that once could have been given to practically anyone when, as Richard Burton put it 100 years ago, "every man has his recognised position in literature."
The country's unrest has prompted more and more of Somalia's poets to seek refuge elsewhere. Once primarily a spoken form (a written language was only officially recognized in 1972), the emigration of Somalia's poets to other countries has led its poetry to adapt and gain a wider audience, but has also left behind much of the tradition.
This has meant that a tradition largely passed on orally – in which plagiarism was anathema and the original poet would be credited by the performer – has been written down and translated.
But poetry is still listened to rather than read by Somalis and the cassette tapes of old have given way to digital clips watched over the internet…
…The "endless war" means the poets' club now comprises only nine regulars, says [Sugaal Abdulle Omar]. These days his largest audiences are online. Many people download clips of the 56-year-old's performances from YouTube. To make his point he leans forward, flips open his mobile phone and plays a maanso that's been set to music. Wanting to join in, he mimes the words in time to the tinny wail of the phone. This one is about love: "why does every woman who I try to seduce become my enemy?" it asks.
Besides the rapid transition from spoken to written to digital, Somali poetry has also undergone major shifts in content as the political climate continues to deteriorate. When there were poets in every clan, often as their leaders, it was common for poets themselves to act (or be used) as political forces:
The Dervish leader Sayyid Muhammad Hasan, remembered in British colonial literature as the "Mad Mullah", was a poet and mystic. "I would not have withheld anything from them, if they desired peace," he said of the British, who employed poets from their own clan collaborators to attack Sayyid during his rebellion. "But when they acted disdainfully, death marched straight at them."
Now with only a handful of poets left in Mogadishu, there are only a few to bear the brunt of these forces.
"Poetry has changed," [Hassan Mohamed Mohamud, aka Hassan Ja'ayl] says, blaming the Shabaab. "They don't allow songs and poems about love. Before them the warlords ruled Mogadishu and we as poets had a campaign and we preached poems on the streets about love and peace."
Many in the Somali diaspora like Sheik Samatar now despair that poetry has been "banished into the wilderness by the AK-47." He wrote recently that "the grim fact is that Somalia's literary death tops its political demise."

Interesting article about no frills phones. Could have good application as an addition to a bug out bag/emergancy kit.
The article suggests keeping around an extra cell phone that does nothing but call and text, because the will hold a charge for extended periods of time and support significantly longer talk time on a charge. This could be good if you live in an area prone to winter power outages or significant storm situations.

LOL. I get that all the time too. I just want to be like leave me alone! Even though I am mixed.
When I was at work this lady had long curly 3c hair, I didn't think anything of it. And she comes up to me and goes
"what are you mixed with?"
and I said "...uh...black"
and then she says "and what else?"
and then I said: "white?" and she was like "oh that's it?"
I was like well damn sorry I'm not all that special for you I mean my mother is german and polish but she's still white well sorrrrry. And then she told me everything she was mixed with and I just stared at her and was like "okay" CAUSE I DON'T CARE! and when she realized I didn't care she says : "Oh well I just wanted to ask because I saw we have the same kind of hair"
In my head I was like "no we don't"

This looks to be a great game. I remember playing the very first one many many Zeldas ago on an old nintendo machine when it was still in its infancy. The legend of Zelda will continue to flourish as they just keep making it better. ;)
Did you ever play the one on Nintendo 64? getting out of The Lost Woods was the same as the original. Mad I love the Zelda games!

Tensions are running high, and relations running low, between Colombia and Venezuela. The latter's president, Hugo Chavez, told his generals to prepare for war, while the Colombian government announced a new base on the countries' border and activated six air battalions. —JCL
The BBC:
[President Hugo Chavez] moved 15,000 more troops up to the border, accusing Colombia and its ally, the US, of planning an attack.
[...] Colombian Defence Minister Gabriel Silva announced the formation of a new base in La Guajira in the north, near the Venezuelan border.
At the same time, the Colombian army activated the new airborne battalions, which are equipped with US helicopters.
The helicopter fleet, made up mainly of Blackhawks, now numbers 120, making the Colombian Army Air Corps the best equipped and most experienced in Latin America, the BBC's Jeremy McDermott in Colombia says.

2013 NHL Entry Draft

Regardless of who's picked, I hope Tallon's reasoning isn't similar to some of the reasons listed here, no offense.
We shouldn't pick a forward because he sells more tickets, and we shouldn't be reluctant to pick a defenseman in the 1st round because it never works (which isn't even true).
I would love to be the Nashville Predators, thank you. They've had great consistency over the years, and, all things considered, we should want to be them. We're likely not spending for a Marian Hossa any time soon like the Blackhawks did. So yeah, Nashville is fine with me. We spend in a similar fashion, we have Jacob Markstrom who many have compared to Rinne, etc.
Whoever the pick is, he better be the best player available. We need the best player available. I don't care if it's a forward or a defenseman. There are many who think Jones is that guy in this draft so to completely ignore him because of his position is weird.
Defensemen are valuable too, and franchise d-men aren't easy to find. Just as the examples listed, I can list a couple of examples of franchises with valuable forwards who have achieved nothing. If you want to be "exciting" and "sell tickets" like the Tampa Bay Lightning and Edmonton Oilers, be my guest. I'd rather be a winning franchise. Whatever it takes to be that.

If you're looking for an IT job—and a possible change of scenery—head to one of the following seven U.S. cities, according to IT staffing firm Modis.
Modis, which operates in 70 cities in North America, tracks the locations where demand for full-time contractors and full-time permanent IT workers has been strongest since the start of the year. CEO Jack Cullen says Modis evaluates the strength of these seven urban job markets based on the number of orders Modis offices are receiving from clients.
"We're not just looking at the largest markets with the most clients and biggest populations," says Cullen. "We're looking at the cities that are really, truly experiencing growth, greater growth than we've seen in the past."

This training program is based on a cognitive-behavioral orientation and strongly emphasizes a scientist-practitioner model. By demonstrating the capacity of psychologists to be behavioral science experts and important change agents within health care settings, this program is designed to optimally prepare early career psychologists for positions in an academic health care center. A strong emphasis is placed on fellows learning to become effective members of trans-disciplinary primary care teams.
Sports participation is an important part of the culture of many Mississippians. The optimal care for those people, especially children, requires the expertise of specialty trained physicians. Musculoskeletal injuries are only a part of the care of athletes. Sudden death, heat exhaustion, asthma, concussions, steroid use and many other medical issues affect those involved. This one-year postdoctoral fellowship, which is fully accredited by the ACGME, is offered to physicians who have successfully completed residency training in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, or physical medicine and rehabilitation. The fellowship program is a PGY-4 position in the department of family medicine and works closely with the department of orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation to provide a broad experience in sports medicine.

The same holds true if you focus on keeping the breath in mind. Whether the breath is heavy or refined, simply be aware of it as it normally is. Don't set up any expectations. Don't force the breath to be like this or that. Keep your awareness with the breath, because in meditating by taking the breath as your preoccupation, you're not after the breath. The breath is simply something for the mind to hold to so that you can reach the real thing, just as when you follow the tracks of an ox: You're not after the tracks of the ox. You follow its tracks because you want to reach the ox. Here you're keeping track of the breath so as to reach the real thing: awareness. If you were to start out just by holding on to awareness, you wouldn't get any results, just as you wouldn't be sure of finding the ox if you simply went around looking for it. But if you follow its tracks, you're going to find it for sure. Your meditation word has to keep moving in. This is called following the tracks of the ox step by step until you reach the ox, or what knows: namely the mind.

Does the quality of the mind's seem to attentiveness fluctuate a lot, or does it seem quite consistent?

Okay so I will be the first to admit that I was feeling kinda "droopy" after Trusty left for the bridge, we all were - both two and four leggers. So when this THING showed up here about three weeks ago? I was NOT happy. What the heck was this little white fur ball? I Was NOT happy. And for the first week or so I totally made my opinion VOCAL.
But then? Something happened. I don't know what exactly. But I am loving him right now - he's like my new "baby" and I totally enjoy being a Big Sister - as long as I remain the ONLY GIRL - bol!

|Brief Summary
|Rivaroxaban represent a new class of anticoagulation agents. As an oral direct factor Xa inhibitor it has been effective in preventing venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery. This ex vivo study is undertaken to investigate the ex-vivo effects of Xarelto® on different coagulation parameters.
|Detailed Description
To validate the effects of Rivaroxaban on coagulation parameters plasma samples of patients after hip or knee replacement surgery treated with Rivaroxaban 10 mg/d are investigated.
Plasma samples are obtained by blood collection before, after 2 hours and after 12 hours after Rivaroxaban dosing in steady state (on 3rd - 5th day).
Several techniques, including clot-based tests, chromogenic assays and ELISA´s are used for coagulation assays in our coagulation laboratory Frankfurt/Main. The influence of Rivaroxaban on different coagulation assays should be investigated in our coagulation laboratory.

Published: November 15, 2013 at 10:48 PMAs far as the Jingle Cruise goes, I think that if Disney had just quietly added the decorations and new jokes without promoting it as a "holiday transformation," people would have thought of them as really neat little touches. Heck, even I probably would have sung its praises (and I've been an opponent of the Jingle Cruise concept since it was announced).
But by making it sound like a big deal, it made some people expect much more than was done (like African bull elephants wearing Santa hats, as shown on the poster), and it made others, like me, wonder why they have to keep changing classic attractions every few months.
Sometimes, when it comes to marketing the holidays, less is more. Add the decorations, let the skippers tell seasonal jokes, and let people be pleasantly surprised instead of taking everything as a marketing opportunity. The holidays at Disney parks are truly magical -- you don't have to specifically advertise the addition of some decorations in one of the queues.
Published: November 16, 2013 at 6:04 PMAs much as I love Disneyland's Christmas, I can't take the combination of cold damp weather and the big crowds. It is just too much of a good/bad thing. I did the Small World Holiday and the Christams Haunted Mansion one too many times. Can't take another collision of the holidays.

URBANA — A father and son from northeast Illinois will be sentenced May 16 after pleading guilty to defrauding a federal business loan program of $1.7 million.
The U.S. Department of Justice says 54-year-old Gregory Yates of Bourbonnais and his 32-year-old son, Terrance Yates, pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to conspiracy to commit bank fraud. The younger Yates also pleaded guilty to money laundering.
According to the Justice Department the two owned several companies. One company borrowed $5.95 million to buy a bankrupt business from another family member.
The Yateses planned to use $1.7 million for construction work on the new business. But they hired their own company to do the work and seriously inflated the costs.
The father faces up to 30 years in prison and the son 40.

First Trailer For Animated 'Avengers Confidential: Black Widow And Punisher' Arrives [Video]
The Marvel Movie Universe is getting another entry in its straight-to-video animated film arm, this time teaming up one of its mightiest Avengers heroes, Black Widow, with The Punisher.
The new movie, titled Avengers Confidential: Black Widow and Punisher, brings the Japanese animation studio Madhouse back after its work on Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore last year. Dexter actress Jennifer Carpenter stars as Black Widow while seasoned voice actor Brian Bloom takes on the role of The Punisher. And all the rest of the Avengers are there, too. Check out the first teaser after the cut!

Hi. I'm developing custom front end using VB 5.0 and mathlink on a Win
95 platform.
I need some pointers how to implement the Animate function from the
Graphics'Animation' package.
In particular I need some info about implementation of the PostScript
rendering engine in the original FE that I can use in my FE.
I was thinking about saving the frames using the Display function in
a .wmf format, and then constructing picture control array in VB and
manually cycling them rapidly. Is there any better way to do this ?
Tnx. in advance,

Sellafield Ltd's strengthening relationship with the company cleaning up the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan has been further developed with the signing of a formal cooperation agreement.
In May 2014 an initial cooperation statement was signed between Sellafield Ltd and Tokyo Electric Power Company – Fukushima Daiichi Decommissioning Engineering Company TEPCO FDEC to develop the working relationship between the two firms facing the world's biggest nuclear clean-up jobs.
Since then the two organisations have worked together to further build this relationship, with exchanges of information and visits between the two sites where learning and experience has been shared, providing both organizations with new insights. Benefiting from the continued support of NDA, yesterday (Monday September 29th), the formal agreement to enable this cooperation was signed.
The cooperation agreement enables the transfer of knowledge and experience between TEPCO, who are charged with decontaminating the Fukushima plant which was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011 and Sellafield Ltd, the Nuclear Management Partners' owned company which is responsible for cleaning up the Europe's most complex nuclear site, in Cumbria.
It will provide improved visibility of the skills available from small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the Sellafield Ltd supply chain, and provide access for the UK to advancements made at Fukushima over the coming years.
Sellafield Ltd Managing Director, Tony Price, reinforced the significance of the agreement.
He said: "We are delighted that the Cooperation Agreement has been signed. It is very important that we are able to share the great work being carried out at Sellafield by our own staff and the wide range of businesses that are integral to the progress we are making. It is also very important that we have the opportunity to learn new skills, techniques and methods that are being developed by TEPCO during their work at Fukushima"
Since May we have already hosted a number of visits to Sellafield by TEPCO colleagues and provided enhanced visibility for local suppliers. Some of these discussions have led to improvements in laboratory analysis techniques by TEPCO and to SL gaining fresh insights in both project management and design engineering techniques.

Fields Tabbed Preseason Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year
July 16, 2014
IRVING, Texas -- TCU defensive end Devonte Fields has been chosen by the conference media as the Big 12 Preseason Defensive Player of the Year while joining Horned Frogs safety Sam Carter and defensive tackle Chucky Hunter as Preseason All-Big 12 selections.
TCU tops the conference with three players on the Preseason All-Big 12 Defensive Team.
The Horned Frogs have nine returning starters on defense this fall, not including Fields who played in only three games before a season-ending injury last year.
Fields was the 2012 Associated Press Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year as a true freshman, when he led the conference with 18 1/2 tackles for loss while placing third with 10 sacks.
The Horned Frogs have had a Conference Defensive Player of the Year in each of the last six seasons (Jerry Hughes, 2008-09; Tank Carder, 2010-11; Devonte Fields, 2012; Jason Verrett, 2013).
Carter is a two-time All-Big 12 selection. He will take the field this fall as a graduate student after receiving his TCU degree in sociology with a minor in business.
Carter led the Horned Frogs last season with five interceptions while tying for second with four sacks. He had 7 1/2 tackles for loss among his 49 stops. The New Orleans native added two pass breakups and a forced fumble.
Hunter is also a two-time All-Big 12 pick. He led the TCU defensive line last year with 43 tackles, including six for loss with two sacks. In the weight room, he has a 750 squat (two reps), 520 bench (one rep) and 460 clean.

De Gale needs to keep his mouth shut in future hahaha.......though i still think De Gale will go further in his career and this loss is better for him than the win.
purely from an unbiased point of view, I think De Gale won that fight. Was suprised to see 2 judges award it to Groves. At worst I think it was a Draw.
I think they should have a re-match but I think that Adam Booth will avoid this like the plague! as they have nothing to gain from it
I was watching it with my mates, and we were a bit drunk, chatting away and stuff so I couldn't really give any strong thoughts on it, but we were all surprised that Groves got the win. Read the punch count after, and it said that Groves did throw more, and land more punches though.
DeGale seems a bit smug, so I was happy to see Groves win, and my mate won £50 on Groves by Decision so we were all pretty pleased anyway. Can't be bothered watching it again to form a better opinion on the rightful winner lol
The mind of the believer stagnates. It fails to grow outward into an unlimited, infinite universe.
i think Groves deserved the win, he worked harder and beat Degale, though it was very close.....i think that Groves worked extra hard to win while De Gale was to over confident and didnt work hard enough early on as he thought he was going to walk it.....if a rematch does happen we will see a much better De Gale and i think he will win.
Get in there, Groves deserved that. i had him winning by 2 rounds. lol at DeGale, betting his purse, celebrating when the announcer declared ...and still unbeaten.... funny as fuck. hope hes man enough to hand over his purse.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
i thought the bet got cancelled because thr BBBoC got involved?
I expected De Gale to win and i didn't score it but could tell it was close. No need for immediate rematches or anything....... just let them travel their paths and they will no doubt fight again but hopefully this time for a world crown.
I had to laugh at Frank Warren after the fight talking about how James didn't throw enough uppercuts and that Groves was open for it all night long.
Strategy can subsitute for talent, but talent will never subsitute for strategy.
"Sometimes hype just isn't enough" Jens Pulver
I bet money on De Gale but Groves was superb. It's probably the closest match I have seen and could be argued either way but Groves was tactically a lot better and really picked away over the rounds.

Steven Gerrard has admitted Liverpool still need a couple of 'big players' if they are to challenge at the very top.
Brendan Rodgers has spent £12million on Daniel Sturridge, who has made a bright start on Merseyside.
However, the Anfield boss says there will be no more high-profile recruits in this transfer window.
And the vibes from Boston suggest there will be no lavish funding for further significant moves in the transfer market.
But Gerrard believes the club needs to make two more big signings if they are to compete consistently at the highest level.
The Liverpool captain explained: "In general, I like the direction the club is going in, but the harsh reality is that we still need two or three big players who can help.
"We were short before the last deadline and I think we struggled to find consistency because of that."
Progress under Rodgers has been fitful with Liverpool unable to string together a notable run of successes this season.
But Gerrard, 32, has been encouraged by Rodgers' approach during his short time at the club.
Gerrard said: "I like the new manager's philosophy. I like his style of play.
"The gap between us and, say, Manchester United is now severe, but I believe that – on our day – we can beat any team in the league.
"What we need to find is that consistency.
"We can actually learn from United.
"There are games when they don't play well and they still find a way to win.
"When we don't play well, we don't win.
"We need to find a way to win games when we're not really at our top level."
Meanwhile, Gerrard admits that the England captaincy has given him a new lease of life.

While it might not seem like a big deal, Toyota's off-market iOS theme represents an acknowledgment of the jailbreaking community, as well as implicit support for the circumvention of Apple's App Store.
Upon learning of the theme on Cydia, Apple contacted Toyota, urging them to take it down. Toyota then contacted Velti, which had uploaded the theme, and they promptly removed it.
A Velti representative explained that Toyota agreed to take the theme down to "maintain their good relationship with Apple". And therein lies the question: as the jailbreaking community grows, will companies like Toyota become more willing to step on Apple's toes? After all, jailbreaking is perfectly legal. But, even for a company in a different sector, like Toyota, you don't want to be on Apple's bad side.

Canada union acknowledges Oshawa plant to shut
By John McCrank
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian autoworkers acknowledged that General Motors Corp's (GM.N: Quote) decision to close a Oshawa, Ontario, truck plant next year was irrevocable, a union leader said on Thursday after a meeting with company officials.
"Are we accepting it? Eventually, if someone keeps hitting you over the head with a sledgehammer, you're going to wake up," said Buzz Hargrove, president of the Canadian Auto Workers, said at the union's headquarters.
Hargrove said GM told the union it may decide to build a new model in its Oshawa car plant, where the new Chevrolet Camaro muscle car is set to begin production, but he added the situation looked bleak.
"We talked about putting together an incentive program that will help with the downsizing of the Oshawa operation over the next four or five years," said Hargrove.
The CAW said it would take a couple of weeks to look at the GM proposal on incentives before responding.
About 2,600 unionized workers will lose their jobs when the truck plant is closed.
GM's announcement of the closure ignited a firestorm of protest that included a 12-day blockade of GM Canada's headquarters. It came just two-weeks after the company signed a new three-year labor agreement with the union in which it said it would keep the plant open until at least 2011.
An Ontario judge ordered an end to the blockade, but added that GM acted with "almost deceitful behavior" in the contract negotiations, which could make future bargaining difficult. Continued...

Interior Repaint...
Will be repainting the total interior of a house we just purchased. Most of the house has the original flat latex paint on the walls(8 years) and then some of the rooms have been repainted by the previous homeowner in various semi-gloss colors. Here are a few basic questions I have about this project:
What primer is best to use on these walls and will I need to prime all walls in the home or just those that were painted semi-gloss?
Should I spray the walls first or the trim first?
What is best to add in latex paint to get good spray coverage like floetrol?
I would like to use SW Southwest Builders eggshell on all of the interior walls except for bathrooms where I will use semigloss....thoughts?
I would use the Sherwin Williams super bonding latex primer unless the house has had heavy smokers, then use the stain blocking alkyd. Some on this site seem to like the Zinsser products. I don't use them so I don't know. I have been asked to use Kilz a time or two and do not like it.
You do not have to prime the flat walls so long as there are no adhesion issues, there is latex on there now, they are clean, and you are not trying to cover dark colors. If you degloss the semi walls you might get by without a primer there too but I personally would prime first if budget allows. If covering or adding dark colors you will want to consider a primer tinted to 60 percent of your paint color formula. Plan on two finish coats whether primed or not.
If you are spraying I would do the ceilings and walls first, then mask them off and spray the trim. Otherwise you will have to spend a lot of time masking off the newly painted trim very carefully. If you decide to do brush and roller I would paint the trim first and cut in the walls and ceiling up to the trim. I find this makes it easier to get a nice edge.
I like Floetrol and use a lot of it---mainly to get rid of brush strokes but it is great for get paint to spray nicely too. You don't want to thin the paint with water if you can help it.
Eggshell sounds alright for the walls. Just remember the higher the sheen the more any defects and surface flaws are going to show. I would use semi for the bathrooms and maybe the kitchen. I wasn't sure what you had in mind for the trim but I would consider semi.
Aim for as close to 100 percent acrylic in the paint as you can afford if this is to be your residence. The SW contractor grade is good though but is an acrylic/vinyl mix. It will not have quite the colorfastness and washability. If this is a rental you will paint, not wash, walls between tenants anyhow.
If you are renting spray equipment, make sure to get the correct spray tips, etc.
Great advice thanks...
What spray tip sizes would you recommend?
Also how can I mask the walls to spray trim without taping and peeling off fresh paint? thanks
What is recommended to clean the walls with that have the original latex from 8 years ago?
Ask the place where you rent the equipment for the proper tips to match the equipment they rent you for applying the eggshell and semi.
Good old TSP or its modern equivalents still work as well as anything for cleaning walls. I have had some luck with Purple Power from the auto parts store to get off years of nicotine and tar stains from heavy smoking houses (but usually have to prime it with alkyd). Mineral spirits come in handy but are not practical for whole wall surfaces.
You do not need to prime semi-gloss walls unless they are oil. Latex will stick to latex all day long.
You don't need to prime the semi-gloss walls if using a good acrylic, unless your doing a drastic color change. Then you should get a primer tinted to your top coat color. Clean all the walls well wit tsp. Repair any cracks, holes, etc. Prime any repairs. Sand the semi-gloss walls before painting with 120grit sanding screen. If your spraying the whole interior, spray your ceilings first, then your trim with a fine finish tip, then spray your walls, but if you do that it will be very time consuming. To mask off the trim after sprayed use a 3m hand masker with 3-6 inch wide paper depending on the with of the trim. If your spraying the walls you'll also have to plastic off the ceiling after its painted and if you don't want spray on your floors you'll have to mask them off well with rosin paper. When spraying your walls and ceilings you can use a 517 or 519 tip. That size tip will give you a ten inch fan pattern when holding the gun 10-12 inches from the surface. Personally I would just paint everything with a roller and a brush, its way to time consumeing to mask everything off when spraying an interior unless its new construction with only a sub floor. If you paint with a roller and brush the most efficent way will be to paint your ceilings first, paint one coat onto all of your trim, then paint one coat onto the walls, then put the final coat on the trim, then the final coat onto the walls, that will eliminate you from having to cut the trim and walls perfect for both coats.
Thanks for all the great advice...
A couple of other questions..
How do I know if the paint on the walls and trim is latex or oil?
I've seen a trend lately in painting the walls and ceilings the same nuetral color... I'm thinking of going this route.. Thoughts?

what gasoline brand do you use?
Hi, I am first time BMW owner, just bought X3 28i last week and I was wondering what brand of gas you guys use.
I traded in my Toyata Camry for my X3 (big step up for me!).
I really didn't care about what gas I used for carmy so I used Costco gas or other cheap gas stations.
But now I have a premium brand car, should I be using premium brand gas? Or does it really matter?
I read some threads on other BMW series and some say it doesnt matter and some say it matters .
From your experience, is there a particular gas brand that is better for BMW..?
Id really appreciate your inputs!
Honestly, I only really care about the octane rating. Most reputable outlets will have decent gas. I've used Costco, 76, Chevron, etc...
Always stayed with the Premium level octane, though.
I generally use Shell or Exxon/Mobil.
Hey congratulation! I am like you, first time BMW owner, last car was toyota corolla for 10 years! A car mechanist once told me don't use cheap gas brand, like arco, because overtime your engine would accumulate more carbon waste. Not sure if that's true but I always had used Shell on my corolla, and its engine is still strong at 235K miles. Now I always use Chevron 91. I read it somewhere that Shell V-power actually gives you couple more HP but it's harsher for your engine.
shell 93 octane. in a pinch, mobile/exxon 93. if it's available in your state, always use 93.
Shell 93
I go for the premium stuff in the low 90's. Most places I can get 93 but like today at Phillips 66 they top out at 91.
Our SA once told us NOT to use BP, at least from the local St. Louis area as it had been tested to have more than 10% ethanol. Funny since BMW recommended BP right in the manual
I usually go for the 93 at QT or the same at Shell.
Around here we can only get ethanol 'enhanced' fuel. The link below will show places in the US to get non-ethanol fuel. It's probably preferred to anything.
BMW recommends Top Tier retailers (documented in Owner's Manual): http://www.toptiergas.com/
Interestingly, BP is listed as recommended in the Owner's Manual but is not listed as a Top Tier.
Chevron 91
I was using Costco but I noticed less performance.
I use Costco Kirkland Signature Premium normally, or Shell V Power/Chevron when traveling.
I look for fast pumps (clean filters) and busy stations (fresh gas).
My SA recommended Chevron Supreme or Shell V Power. He specifically told me to avoid no-name brands as the dealership had seen resulting fuel system damage.
All gas comes from the same refineries, the only difference is the detergent :P
I decided to try an ethanol-free gas yesterday! Not easy to find around here. 40cents (US)/gal higher than other 91-octanes! (Note: 91 octane is premium in Colorado.) Filled tank from a remaining range around 20 miles, so presumably just a few gallons of Shell-V left.
At over a mile in altitude, I think I've noticed the following: smoother sounding exterior idle on warm engine, more power, throatier sound. But, could this be the same effect as a good cleaning "makes the car run better"? ;-)
While I try to buy gas from friendly oil origins, I will likely resume to to 10% ethanol just to...you know, support the local corn growers.
Really would like to know....Shell or Bp? I've been using Bp 93 since August 2012 in my 2013 X3 28i. Which is better?
BP isn't available where I live. While I buy mostly 93 octane Shell and Mobil/Exxon, what I'm really looking for is Top Tier, which is what I usually buy.
I had dinner with a Sunoco dealer tonight, and I buy his 91 octane gas from time to time. And yes, Sunoco sells 93 octane, but unlike Shell and Mobil, they sell 91 octane too. Sunoco isn't a Top Tier gasoline. If it were, I would buy it more often.
Always use Chevron 91 for my X3 coz its better to stay at one brand. Got my advice from my mechanic who had 30 yrs exp......

The standout sprinter takes second place in the boys 50-yard freestyle and also helps the Cougars to a runner-up finish in a relay.
The Canby swimming team posted two runner-up finishes but did not clinch any state bids at the Three Rivers League championships Feb. 14-15 in Lake Oswego.
Ryan Cully took second in the boys 50-yard freestyle race with a time of 22.98 seconds. He had the fastest time in the preliminary round with a 22.28, but Clackamas junior Christian Gilbreath clocked a 22.81 to beat him in the finals.
It was a frustrating finish for Cully, who qualified for the OSAA championships last year after winning a district title.
Cully was also a member of the 200 free relay squad that took second at the district meet, joining Cole DeRisio, Christian Meza and Michael Haring to clock a time of 1 minute 35.66 seconds. Lake Oswegos top quartet won the event in 1:34.50.
The Cougars finished in sixth place overall on the boys side with 138 points and seventh on the girls side with 62.
Lake Oswegos boys and Lakeridges girls captured district titles with 234 points and 268 points, respectively.
TRL district championships
Feb. 14-15 at Lake Oswego District Pool
Boys: 1. Lake Oswego, 234; 2. Grant, 203; 3. Oregon City, 184; 4. Clackamas, 159; 5. Lakeridge, 156; 6. Canby, 138; 7. West Linn, 123.

Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
There was a time when heroes could be invented. Many of us remember those more naive times when the press did not report on heroes' shortcomings. The media would often exaggerate the strengths of famous people and ignore their weaknesses. Politically that was true all the way up to Watergate. Nowadays, it seems like things are reversed. We see our heroes' weaknesses, and their strengths are minimized. Even when we do see a celebrity in a favorable light, we don't know how much is hype. We don't know how much is real and how much is just P.R.
There is a book titled Surface Chic. It is a book that gives a tongue in cheek treatment of wealth, fame and power. Among other things, the book contains some paper watch faces that simulate an $11,000 Corum watch. You can cut these watch faces out and paste them on your $11 watch. According to the book, by doing this, your friends will be impressed with both your good taste and your great wealth. That's what the authors mean by "surface chic"! Many celebrities today are no more than surface chic. Invariably, when we get a closer look, they disappoint. One reason to make Christ your hero is that other heroes let you down.

Make Capitalone.com Your Coffee Come Alive Like Never Before
Make Capitalone.com Your Coffee Come Alive Like Never Before
If you are ready to expand your knowledge and participation in the world of coffee, then you will be happy to know that there are numerous resources available to help you learn the lingo and choose the brews that give you the greatest sense of satisfaction and enjoyment. Read on for some ways to immerse yourself in the nuances of finding the best coffee beans and methods of preparing them.
Consider using Stevia instead of sugar in your coffee if you're watching your weight or suffer from diabetes. This product is naturally derived from plants and is a great artificial sweetener. You can find this at the grocery store.
If you must add something creamy to your coffee, consider using real milk instead of whitener. Whitener is a frightening blend of ingredients you can't pronounce, while milk of any sort – be it cream, homo, 2% or skim – provides protein, vitamin B12 and other great nutrients your body needs.
If you are concerned about your coffee staying fresh for a good amount of time, try not to buy so much of it at one time. Many people buy coffee in bulk, but the reality is that the coffee will start to diminish in quality by the time all of it is consumed.
If you want to get the most coffee for the least amount of price, clip coupons. Coffee is nothing special when it comes to this. Clipping the right coupons and saving them for double coupon days can really add up the savings, for both coffee and related commodities like creamer.
Avoid storing your coffee in the freezer. The extreme temperatures of the freezer will destroy the oils in the coffee. Instead, drink what you have or buy smaller amounts of coffee. If you do not buy too much coffee, you will not need to worry about storing it for an extended period of time.
Do not store your coffee in a container that is made of plastic or metal. These materials can change the way that coffee tastes. The best thing to do is to store your coffee in a glass jar that is able to be sealed shut with no way for air to get in.
Buying your coffee from a specialty store or coffee hut can be expensive, but it could also be a wonderful treat once in awhile. For a sumptuous topping, why not use flavored whipped creams, chocolate shavings or ground nutmeg. You might also spring for a delicious espresso.
Ascertain that you are using the right amount of water when you brew coffee. If you do not put enough water in, the coffee will be too strong. Conversely, too much water can lead to a watery coffee with no taste. A good guideline is to use 16 ounces of water for every 8-ounce cup of coffee.
Use your used coffee grounds in your compost pile! Coffee grounds offer many beneficial ingredients to a compost pile including pest control. Coffee grounds contain caffeine which helps prohibit the growth of fungus that can quickly destroy your vegetable garden. The next time you brew a fresh pot of joe don't throw away those grounds; add them to your compost pile!
Cold brew your coffee using grounds, water, a filter, and milk before going to bed. Trying to quickly cool a hot cup of coffee in the morning by putting it in the refrigerator or freezer can lead to a watered-down beverage. The best coffee is one that is created slowly. Therefore, preparing the night before is important.
Store your beans and coffee grinds properly. Whole beans and ground beans both lose their flavor rather quickly. To prevent this, get them into a container that is airtight, and place the container in a dry and cool area. For extended storage, you could even freeze the beans for up to three months.
Does your tap water tastes bad? It could influence the way your coffee tastes. If your tap water has an unpleasant taste, consider using bottled water to make coffee or get a filter installed on your tap. You will find that your coffee tastes much better if you use cleaner water.
If you notice that you are buying the same type of coffee, try buying in bulk. This will help to maximize your investment, especially if you stick with a particular brand. Check online to see if you can buy a large bag or bucket of coffee beans, which will help reduce your expenses during the year.
