H&M, a Master of Cheap Fashion, Moves Upscale
Hennes & Mauritz's H&M apparel chain made its name churning out fun, cheap fashions—$9.95 skinny jeans, $12.95 polka-dot ballet flats—that are almost disposable. The Stockholm-based retailer counts on a continually changing assortment of rock-bottom-priced goods to help keep shoppers coming back for more. Now growing austerity in Europe is pinching even sales of low-priced apparel. But rather than cutting prices further, H&M is testing a higher-priced accessories chain called & Other Stories—yes, it starts with an ampersand—in a bet that budget-conscious shoppers will still spring for affordable luxuries such as a fancy scarf or a trendy lipstick shade.
As it seeks to make up ground lost to rival Inditex, parent of the Zara chain and the world's largest clothing retailer, and win a bigger share of the $111 billion market for shoes and accessories in Western Europe, H&M is opening seven outlets of the new chain this spring. Rather than rely on copies of hot styles, & Other Stories will feature fashions from H&M's own ateliers in Paris and Stockholm. The first store, a two-story shop on London's Regent Street a few doors down from an H&M, opened in March. It sells a £145 ($221) Clare Vivier tote, £10 brass rings, lipsticks promising the perfect pout, and Nike shoes. Accessories offer "a very immediate way of buying into a fashion trend without having to commit to a full fashion look," says Jane Francis, who teaches at the London College of Fashion.
European retailers are embracing accessories to offset slowing sales of apparel. Sales of bags and costume jewelry are forecast to grow more than 13 percent through 2017, to $18.7 billion, twice as fast as clothing, according to Euromonitor International. It's also an opportunity to move into pricier goods. "H&M is getting a lot of pressure from low-price retailers on the one hand and from retailers like Inditex, which reacts faster to demand in the fashion world, on the other," says Sydbank analyst Søren Løntoft Hansen. With & Other Stories, H&M can "build some bridges to a higher price segment."
The & Other Stories chain will offer a limited selection of more expensive clothing, but most of the merchandise will be wardrobe add-ons such as jewelry, lingerie, and shoes in four basic styles labeled minimalist, bohemian, industrial, and glamorous. "& Other Stories is a totally different concept, a totally different brand, with its own creative team and creative expression," says Pernilla Wohlfahrt, head of new business at H&M. "So it was natural and essential for us to put it in a different store."
Early sales at & Other Stories have "far exceeded" expectations, so H&M might accelerate the chain's expansion, Hennes & Mauritz Chief Executive Officer Karl-Johan Persson said during an earnings conference on March 21. H&M may add more stores this autumn, most likely in Europe. "We have to evaluate how the openings are going and take it step by step," Wohlfahrt says, "but we believe the concept can work in all H&M's markets." In addition to its shops in major European cities, & Other Stories will ship online orders to 10 countries in the region. The brand's website features "stories," sequences of photos showing how items can be worn.
With the new chain, H&M is following Inditex's strategy. The Spanish company has expanded with the Massimo Dutti chain, oriented toward urban professionals, and seven other brands. In 2008 it opened Uterqüe, its own fashion and accessories chain, which has 92 stores and posted 9 percent sales growth last year. Zara made up 66 percent of sales and 29 percent of stores for Inditex.
H&M has added about 150 outlets of its upscale COS and three other nonflagship brand stores since 2007. But those, plus the new & Other Stories shops, account for less than 6 percent of H&M's 2,818 outlets globally. Given the limited rollout, it will be at least five years before the new brand will have much impact on H&M's profitability and growth, Société Générale predicts.
"They are trying to move away a bit from the too-sanitized, fast-fashion, mass-market feel of H&M and move a bit more toward an almost independent, more entrepreneurial feel," says Daniel Lucht, an analyst at consumer-goods forecaster ResearchFarm. Still, & Other Stories will help the company win customers who might otherwise shop at Zara, and who wouldn't likely spend much at H&M, says Suzanne Stahlie, managing director at retail consultancy FutureBrand in Paris.

A man in Northern Maine accused of killing his girlfriend, then running from police for nearly a week has been indicted by the Aroostook County grand jury.
38-year-old Jesse Marquis of Saint Francis is charged with murder.
A grand jury indicted him Friday.
Police say Marquis shot and killed Amy Theriault on May 31st, then took off.
A massive manhunt was organized and authorities finally arrested him six days later in a wooded area of St. Francis.
Marquis is in the Aroostook County jail in Houlton and is due back in court late next month for a bail hearing.

The satellite cities can also gain by cooperating rather than competing for economic development. Compared to large cities like Boston, the GBSCs have few resources to devote towards attracting new employers. Since they offer very similar environments to prospective businesses, they are frequently competing with one another by giving away tax incentives. The winning city often gains very little. If GBSCs work together they could market themselves as a group to industry groups. Sharing their resources would allow them to design more sophisticated sales strategies and promote a more unified image of the advantages of the region's medium-sized cities.
GBSCs can also turn the fact that they have been abandoned by industry into an advantage. The GBSCs are relatively clean and quiet urban environments. They can market this advantage by creating "Green" campaigns. The cities could work together to tailor environmental plans that would generate energy and cost savings for the cities and their residents. These plans could be created by officials from each city working with students studying environmental planning at local universities. Greater Boston is an increasingly expensive area to live and do business. The danger is that the region will suffer as firms seek less expensive business environments.
Fortunately there is an alternative vision. The recent recovery of inner-city neighborhoods in places like Boston, Cambridge and Somerville demonstrates that there is demand for dense urban living – demand that far exceeds the available supply. Medium-sized older historic cities offer vital attractive living environments to families and new dense nodes of activity to growing businesses. In order to achieve this vision, local leaders from GBSCs must cooperate and convince powerbrokers beyond their borders that their cities can become ideal destinations.

garter snake issues
We have tried to get rid of a garter snake in our small backyard. There is mulch around our home and he tends to hide beneath it. We have children and guests come over to grill with us. When we see a snake its just unpleasant. We have tried to add glue traps and moth balls. Nothing seems to work. He just finds a new spot.
They are harmless. Only reason they are around, is because of Crickets, Grass Hoppers (Locusts), Japanese Beatles, frogs, rats, field mice. Only way to get rid of them is to get rid of their food source.
Problem with getting rid of the food source for the Garter's, is that you are upsetting the balance of nature. They are the best thing out there to keep your yard and house critter free.
They do not bite, and are not venomous, and if they do clamp down, their teeth are so small, they will not do anything. Just leave the snake be, and they will leave you alone.
Plus it's scaring my guests away.
Your guests are afraid of garter snakes? It must be horrible going through life being afraid of completely harmless animals.
Snakes like quiet places to hide. If he is camping out in your mulch, you might consider adjusting your landscape so the "snake-friendly" areas of your yard are further away from the house.
Even if you succeed in driving this guy off, something about your yard is attractive to snakes, so another will probably come along anyway... part of outdoor living. :)
My wife's father lives in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on the border of Wisconsin & Michigan, and they have the afore mentioned, also have Black Bear and Badgers in their yard.
You basically learn how to live with the critters, and learn when to avoid them.
They really are more afraid of you .
The summer my daughter was 9, she opened her own business. "Annie's snake removal company " 75cents a snake.
The idea was a good one as we have a lot of them. Catch and hurl it over the fence into the field and then wait for tomorrows call to fetch the same snake.
Only one neighbour ever called, It happened to be a day when there were a pile of kids over (most days anyway) They all piled over and trampled her garden trying to catch the poor thing. She never did become a repeat customer
Just the nature of the critter. They move on when their food source runs out.
Honey Badger don't care
Very funny you tube video but I can't post it because it says a word the starts with S, ends in T

New Urbanism In The City (And Edge City)
"Atlantic Station is the latest example of 'new urbanism,' a trendy antidote to the suburban and exurban sprawl that has defined the American way of life for the past five decades. It's a shiny new town, complete with city blocks, sidewalks, street parking, a train station, parks, schools, offices, town houses, and even loft residences right above the retail stores."
"What's more disconcerting is that these towns give the impression of having less character, with an eerie sense of monotony, as the same pattern of storefronts, townhomes, and condos multiply across America. In a sense, their uniformity mirrors the very suburbs they escape."

Ivan Ramen's Toasted Rye Noodles
Our noodle recipe has changed over the years. The noodle we serve now isn't the same as the one we opened with. This recipe is my play on soba; these can be served hot or cold. Most ramen shops would frown upon using soba-style noodles because they're so mild compared to a salty, porky ramen broth. But my soup is lighter than most, and works well with these more ethereal noodles.
I'm personally obsessed with the kaori, or aroma, of the noodles. Most shops use one type of flour that is specifically designed for ramen, with a protein level of 10 to 11 percent. These flours are inexpensive, but they don't have the deep, fresh aroma that I'm looking for. At my shop, we combine soft udon flour (7 to 8 percent protein), with high-protein bread flour (14 to 15 percent protein) and a small percentage of rye or other whole grain flour, for a noodle with an irresistible aroma of fresh wheat. It's a circuitous route to get to the 10 to 11 percent protein content that works for noodles, but we get much more interesting textures and complex flavors, and even a deeper color, with pretty little speckles of whole grain. Toasting the flour brings out more aromatic nuances, while removing some of the liquid in the flour and making for an even chewier noodle.]
Powdered kansui adds the alkaline component of these noodles. As noted in numerous places by Harold McGee, the oracle of culinary science, a simple substitute for kansui powder is baked baking soda. Spread baking soda in a thin layer on a foil-lined sheet tray and bake for one hour at 275°F (135°C). Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid for up to a couple of months.
In Tokyo, we work with an excellent and very expensive noodle machine. You won't have one. But neither did I when I first started developing these recipes. Believe me, you can make great ramen noodles at home with a manual pasta machine. But it will take you more than one try to iron out the kinks. Try the recipe, curse me out if you must, and try again. Your kitchen will produce different results than mine—that's just the reality of cooking, Repeat and tinker with the proportions until you have your ideal bowl of toothsome, fragrant noodles. This recipe yields enough noodles for ten bowls of ramen.
Makes about 1.3 kilos (2 3/4 pounds)
- 75 grams (1⁄2 cup) rye flour
- 620 grams (4 cups) high-gluten (14 to 15 percent protein) bread flour
- 300 grams (2 cups) cake flour
- 10 grams (11⁄2 teaspoons) kansui powder
- 430 milliliters (13⁄4 cups) cool water
- 13 grams (1 tablespoon) salt
- Cornstarch
Toast the rye flour in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Stir the flour until a few wisps of fragrance reach your nose, about 4 minutes. Don't give it any color! Weigh the flour again after it's been toasted: you only want 70 grams of toasted flour for this recipe—the extra 5 grams are to account for any loss while toasting.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flours and set aside. Ramen noodle dough can be quite stiff and difficult to work with. If you don't have a stand mixer, good old-fashioned elbow grease will have to do.
In a separate bowl, slowly stir the kansui into the water until it's fully dissolved (this takes a little time). Then stir in the salt to dissolve.
Outfit your mixer with the dough hook attachment. With the mixer running on low speed, add the water in thirds to the flour mixture. After a few minutes, the dough should begin to come together. It will be a bit shaggy—more so than Italian pasta dough. If it isn't coming together at all, add a spoonful of water. Once it comes together, increase the speed to medium-low and let the machine run for 10 minutes, until the dough forms a ball. Turn off the mixer and cover the dough with plastic wrap. Let stand for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, the dough should be significantly softer in texture and smoother in appearance. Set the dough ball on a cutting board, flatten it with the palm of your hand, then cut it into four 5-centimeter (2-inch) strips. Cover the dough strips with a damp kitchen towel.
Set up your pasta machine and adjust it for the largest size. Pass one piece of dough through the machine, then fold it over on itself so that you have a double sheet. Turn the machine to the second largest size, and run the doubled sheet through. Double the sheet over again, and run it through the third largest setting.
Don't double the sheet over again. Run it through the fourth largest setting, then once through the smallest setting. Set aside and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. Once the sheets are all rolled, pass them through the thinnest cutter you have, or cut them by hand so that they are as thin as possible. As you work, toss the noodles with a little cornstarch to keep them from sticking together, and shake off the excess before cooking. Store the noodles in a container wrapped tightly with plastic (or individual portions in ziplock bags) for up to a day.

Walker Was Part of the OŌĆÖDonnell Park Coverup
Newly released emails show how his political campaign was involved in county government matters
But the release of hundreds of emails sealed for years under the John DoeŌĆÖs secrecy orderŌĆörecently released as part of the litigation involving the OŌĆÖDonnell Park tragedyŌĆöreveals more serious evidence of how WalkerŌĆÖs top campaign advisers were actually calling the shots on county matters to protect Walker and his campaign for governor from political damage from this tragedy.
And make no mistake: Scott Walker was definitely aware that his campaign and county staffers were working together to shape his image as he ran for governor in 2010.
Walker was copied on almost all of the emails.
ŌĆśMake Sure There Is Not a Paper AnywhereŌĆÖ
Immediately after a concrete slab fell off the OŌĆÖDonnell Park parking structure and killed 15-year-old Jared Kellner and injured two others on June 24, 2010, WalkerŌĆÖs campaign aides took control of WalkerŌĆÖs image.
Nowhere in any of the emails released is there evidence of Walker or any of his campaign or county staffers expressing sympathy or concern for the Kellner family or the publicŌĆÖs safety. Their only interest seems to be managing WalkerŌĆÖs image and distancing himself from any potential cause of the structureŌĆÖs failures.
To do so, WalkerŌĆÖs campaign and county aides worked outside of the countyŌĆÖs official email servers to prepare his messaging, dig up information on the structureŌĆÖs history and discuss how to respond to requests from the public.
Because they conducted their operations outside of the official network, WalkerŌĆÖs aides were able to evade open records requests from reporters and members of the public about the true state of the parking structureŌĆöand the extent to which WalkerŌĆÖs campaign and county aides were aligned.
As Keith Gilkes, WalkerŌĆÖs campaign manager, put it immediately after Kellner was killed: ŌĆ£Make sure there is not a paper any where that details a problem at all.ŌĆØ
At the same time WalkerŌĆÖs campaign was working on the response to the tragedy, his inner circle was complaining about the ŌĆ£politicizationŌĆØ of it. Walker himself wrote on July 20, 2010, ŌĆ£It is disgusting that anyone would use a tragedy for such blatant political purposes.ŌĆØ
ItŌĆÖs difficult to see how Walker could have a legitimate complaint about politics intruding on his official county affairs, since he politicized the matter by sending that email from his campaign email account to his top campaign aides and his top county aides on their personal email addresses.
Inside WalkerŌĆÖs Inner Circle
Walker was copied on almost all of the emails dealing with OŌĆÖDonnell Park, but not at his county email address.
Instead, Walker discussed this official county matter via his campaign email account with his inner circle. The main players included:
Ō¢Ā Fran McLaughlin: WalkerŌĆÖs county spokeswoman at the time of the tragedy, McLaughlin proved to be the main conduit between WalkerŌĆÖs campaign and county staffers. McLaughlin would receive an email at her official county account, then forward it to a personal email account to get it off of the countyŌĆÖs official email system.
From her personal email, McLaughlin would forward the message to the inner circle, which included Walker at his campaign email account, Chief of Staff Tom Nardelli at his personal email account, Deputy Chief of Staff Kelly Rindfleisch at her personal email account, longtime Walker campaign and county aide Tim Russell at his personal email account, Walker campaign manager Keith Gilkes, campaign spokeswoman Jill Bader, longtime county and campaign advisor Jim Villa and campaign operative R.J. Johnson. Frequently, Department of Administrative Services chief Cindy Archer would participate on her private email account. McLaughlin often used her ŌĆ£gopfranŌĆØ email address on these county matters as well.
From the emails itŌĆÖs clear that McLaughlin had to run all communications through this inner circle, which apparently is the same circle that prosecutors dubbed ŌĆ£The Campaign Group.ŌĆØ McLaughlin was frequently overruled on her suggestions and deferred to Walker and his campaign advisors on statements about OŌĆÖDonnell Park and responses to reporters.
McLaughlin was so committed to WalkerŌĆÖs political future that she monitored all news coverage of county matters and forwarded them to the group. No matter was too small for her attention. For example, she emailed Walker and his inner political and county circle ŌĆ£can someone get supporters to vote?ŌĆØ on a Business Journal poll asking if former Congressman Mark Neumann or Walker would win the Republican primary for governor.
McLaughlin was given immunity from prosecution for her activities while Walker was in office. SheŌĆÖs currently the spokeswoman for Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke.
Ō¢Ā Tim Russell: Russell was a longtime county and campaign aide to Walker. In June 2010, Russell was working as WalkerŌĆÖs director of Housing in the Department of Health and Human Services, a position that had nothing to do with OŌĆÖDonnell Park. At the same time, as we learned from the John Doe investigation, Russell was embezzling more than $20,000 from a sham veteransŌĆÖ charity heŌĆÖd set up with WalkerŌĆÖs blessing.
Prosecutors alleged that Russell also purchased a private wifi router for the county executiveŌĆÖs suite so that WalkerŌĆÖs inner aides could communicate without having to go through the countyŌĆÖs email server.
In January, Russell was sentenced to two years in prison and five years on probation for his crimes. His domestic and business partner, Brian Pierick, was sentenced to community service and fined $2,100 for misdemeanor delinquency for sending graphic images to a Waukesha County teen. PierickŌĆÖs personal email address pops up from time to time in the OŌĆÖDonnell emails.
Ō¢Ā Kelly Rindfleisch: Russell hired Rindfleisch as a policy analyst for WalkerŌĆÖs county executive office in January 2010 and by June 2010 she was working as WalkerŌĆÖs deputy chief of staff. But that wasnŌĆÖt her only place of employment. While Rindfleisch was working as WalkerŌĆÖs county aide, she was also working as a fundraiser for Brett Davis, a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor. Prosecutors allege that she exchanged more than a thousand emails with WalkerŌĆÖs campaign staffers during regular business hours at the county.
Immediately after the OŌĆÖDonnell tragedy, Walker campaign manager Keith Gilkes ordered her to go to work early the next day to ŌĆ£Keep on top of Sue Black, [county aide Steven] Kreklow, [county aide Cindy] Archer and all staff to make sure there is not a paper any where that details a problem at all. My fear is some 1999 memo to [former County Executive Tom] Ament outlines a problemŌĆöand somehow Ament remembers it and finds it. [County attorney Tim] Schoewe needs to have every piece of paper ever created on this structure completely reviewed. You are the only person capable of overseeing these people.ŌĆØ
Rindfleisch agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors for one felony count of misconduct in public office and was sentenced to six months in jail and three years of probation. SheŌĆÖs appealing her conviction and remains free during the appeal.
Ō¢Ā Tom Nardelli: Nardelli served as WalkerŌĆÖs chief of staff and RindfleischŌĆÖs boss during the OŌĆÖDonnell Park aftermath, then secured two state positions when Walker was elected governor. He abruptly quit his state job in August 2011, while the John Doe probe was heating up.
Nardelli routinely used a personal email account for the OŌĆÖDonnell Park matters, but he seemed to chafe against the Walker campaign staffersŌĆÖ intrusion on county affairs, at one point grumbling, ŌĆ£just in case anyone cares what I think as COS [chief of staff].ŌĆØ Nardelli appears to have sent that message on his cell phone via his private email account.
When, just a month before the general election in 2010, he finds that a lawsuit would be filed in the OŌĆÖDonnell Park case, Nardelli advised Walker: ŌĆ£You need to be as far away from this issue as possible.ŌĆØ
Nardelli was never charged with a crime or granted immunity from prosecutors, and itŌĆÖs unknown if he testified in the probe.
Ō¢Ā Cindy Archer: Archer was the head of the Department of Administrative Services and communicated often via her personal email account about OŌĆÖDonnell Park. Archer would often pose ŌĆ£breakfast topicŌĆØ questions, such as whether WalkerŌĆÖs aides could affect the timing of reports on OŌĆÖDonnell Park and the troubled Behavioral Health Division. Archer wondered if they should be released before or after the November 2010 election, then conceded that they had no control over their release. Archer also wrote in an email to Nardelli and Rindfleisch that she was ŌĆ£getting mixed messages from the campaign sideŌĆØ about how the county executiveŌĆÖs office was handling open records requests.
Archer followed Walker to Madison when he was elected governor. State and federal law enforcement officers raided her home in September 2011 and seized items including a computer hard drive. She wasnŌĆÖt charged with any crimes, nor was she granted immunity from prosecution. On Monday, the Journal Sentinel reported, Archer began a job in the state Public DefenderŌĆÖs Office, where she will earn a $101,510 salary.
Walker AidesŌĆÖ War on Reporters and Transparency
When WalkerŌĆÖs campaign and county aides werenŌĆÖt complaining about progressive members of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors and, ironically, the ŌĆ£politicizationŌĆØ of the tragedy, they were moaning about local reportersŌĆÖ coverage of the OŌĆÖDonnell Park investigation. They complained about Aaron Diamant at TMJ4; Brendan Conway, then at WISN and now working as the spokesman for County Executive Chris Abele; Mick Trevey, then at TMJ4; and, not surprisingly, the Shepherd.
Not all reporters came under fire, however. Gilkes from the campaign instructed Rindfleisch to get a response to ŌĆ£talk radio ASAP to get our spin on it right away.ŌĆØ Right-wing talker Charlie Sykes emailed WalkerŌĆÖs campaign address about TMJ4ŌĆÖs coverage of the incident, which Walker then forwarded to his county and campaign aides. Tim Russell informed the others that the Journal SentinelŌĆÖs Jesse Garza had promised Walker ŌĆ£good inkŌĆØ on the tragedy. And Aaron Rodriguez, then working for the Hispanic Conservative blog and El Conquistador, was given the kid-glove treatment when he asked McLaughlin questions. He now blogs for the Journal Sentinel and is one of Chris AbeleŌĆÖs favorite bloggers.

After Michelle Obama's Monday night speech at the Democratic National Convention, ABC and NBC mentioned her "for the first time in my adult lifetime I'm proud of my country" previous slap at the United States, but in the context of how she resolved any doubts. ABC's George Stephanopoulos declared:
"Tonight, there was no doubt. The money line in this speech was that line when she said, 'that is why I love this country,' and she lingered." Noting how "we heard the word 'America' or 'American' or 'Americans' 12 times," NBC's Chuck Todd decided "this is definitely a response in some ways to that whole kerfuffle that she created for herself, six or eight months ago, about being proud to be an American."
CBS didn't touch on the topic during its prime time hour, though during an interview with Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, Katie Couric described Mrs. Obama not as controversial, but as "slightly controversial." In a taped session later with Craig Robinson, Michelle's older brother, Couric wondered: "What one word would you like viewers all across the country to use to describe your sister?" When he suggested "sincere," Couric agreed: "That's a good word."
On the ideological labeling front, Ted Kennedy's appearance the hour before, highlights of which led all three broadcast networks at 10 PM EDT, failed to prompt a single liberal label on ABC or CBS, but NBC applied the tag three times, two of those to describe Kennedy as a "liberal lion." (CNN and MSNBC provided scattered liberal labeling.)
Earlier in the night, ABC's World News and the CBS Evening News ran glowing profiles of Michelle Obama, both of which showed the "for the first time...proud of my country" soundbite. The NBC Nightly News did not air a profile of her and so did not air the soundbite.
ABC News, after Michelle Obama's Monday, August 25 speech at the Pepsi Center in Denver:
DIANE SAWYER: And also talking about her love of America several times. As we know, coming into the convention she had two high numbers, right George, a 51 percent favorable number, but also a 30 percent unfavorable.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: And a lot that was because of that comment she made during the course of this campaign where she said "the first time I was proud of my country" was during this election. Tonight, there was no doubt. The money line in this speech was that line when she said, 'that is why I love this country,' and she lingered.
CBS News:
Couric to Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius: "Now this is a big night for Michelle Obama, his wife, who's been slightly controversial. What do you think she needs to do tonight to win people over?"
Couric's questions to Michelle's brother, Craig Robinson:
- Very few people know Michelle Obama as well as you do. How would you describe her?
- You all didn't have a lot of advantages growing up.
- This whole thing must be quite a head trip for all of you. But particularly for Senator Obama himself. How has he changed through this process, do you think?
- After this speech tonight, what one word would you like viewers all across the country to use to describe your sister?
[Craig Robinson: You know, there is no real one word. But my sister, if nothing else, is very sincere.]
That's a good word.
NBC News, as provided by the MRC's Brad Wilmouth:
BRIAN WILLIAMS, AT 10:01 PM EDT: After being introduced by Caroline Kennedy after a film by the filmmaker Ken Burns, the liberal lion from Massachusetts, the senior Senator from the Bay State, his voice reedy and his hair thinning, came out to accept the thunderous ovation from this crowd, invoking his own themes and those of his late brother.
WILLIAMS, AT 10:11 PM EDT: There was no mistaking when the unofficial start to this gathering was. It was during that film, the tribute to the liberal lion from the Bay State that really was the kickoff. Republicans will surely have their moment. This one belonged to the Democrats tonight.
WILLIAMS, AT 10:14 PM: This thing kicked off with the tribute to Senator Kennedy....What a beginning to tonight. There's no other figure in American politics quite like him, certainly nothing in front of this partisan audience.
TOM BROKAW: Well, no, and what he can do is coalesce the traditional liberal wing of this party around Barack Obama, unlike anyone else.
After Michelle Obama's address, about 10:55 PM EDT:
WILLIAMS: Chuck Todd, your feelings, having listened to Michelle Obama?
CHUCK TODD: Well, it was interesting, we heard the word "America" or "American" or "Americans" 12 times. She said the word "values" a number of times. We heard her refer to "blue collar people," "working class folks," people "working on the night shift." Brian, this is definitely a response in some ways to that whole kerfuffle that she created for herself, six or eight months ago, about being proud to be an American.

Guwahati, Jun 15 (UNI) External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee today made it clear that India was only concerned about improving relations with neighbours and not bothered about the format of the government in those countries.
Snubbing the western country's advice that India should play bigger role in establishing democracy in its neighborhood, the Eternal Affairs Minister said that it was not his responsibility.
"The West knows that we have been like this position for past 60 years. Now our only aim is to improve the relationship with our neighbours. There are boundary problems and our job is to iron out those as much as possible", he said.
He was referring to Myanmar as he was inaugurating the fourth branch office of the Ministry of External Affairs in Guwahati.
The need of this branch office has arisen as India was increasingly trying to open the economy and border with its South East Asian neighbours as part of the "Look East" policy.
The opening up of the new office was one step closer to achieving the dream of Northeast doing the trade with the South East Asia trhough a land route.
"The major objective of our government has been and continues to be to strengthen the development process of the north eastern region through integration with the larger regional processes," he said.
"This is reflected in our gradual yet well ground, forms of cooperative endavours in the context of our successful cooperation in the ASEAN, BIMSTEC, Mekong-Ganga Cooperation (MCG) and East Asia Summit (EAS) framework", he added.
"The development of these groups and formations has provided an elastic yet energetic framework to promote deeper economic integration between India and the countries to of East and South. It has also provided a structure to discuss political and security issues, to enhance understanding each other's view'' he said.
The Northeast has been patiently waiting to unlock itself with the South East Asian countries and over the past decade, that is slowly being achieved through a variety of measure including two car rallies.
Land routes from India to Myanmar, Thailand and other South East Asian countries have immense potential. The process was well underway, he said. He,however, wanted that to derive full benefit from such linkage, a focus on completion of infrastructure development, including transportation linkages, amongst the state of the Northeast was extremely important. This would accelerate economic development by converting the Northeast from being land locked to being land linked.
Union Minister of Panchyati Raj and North Eastern region Mani Shankar Aiyar was also present on the occasion.
He said that flawed foreign policies for over four decades had led to the isolation of the North Eastern region.
He hoped that Sittwe project through the Kaladan river would change the communication to the North Eastern region and for that he too stressed on harmonial relationship with the neighbours.
Assam Chief Minster Tarun Gogoi and his Manipur counterpart O Idobi Singh were also present on this occasion.

Brenda and Robb's Wedding
"yes, they showed up and were on time but that's about it. I never recieved the contract in the mail so there were some problems. They charged 50 fuel charge that I didn't expect, they needed a credit card to scan right in front of church and our guests, I ordered the wedding package but didn't get anything that was included with it. When asked about it afterwards- he said that they were there. I have pictures and there was NO Just Married sign or NA champagne inside. I did not get what I paid for but the limo was impressive to look at at least."

NEW YORK (AP) — Zynga's CEO, Mark Pincus, is stepping down to be replaced by Don Mattrick, the head of Microsoft's Xbox business, as the troubled online game company looks to revive its business and stalled stock price.
The maker of "FarmVille" and other games said Monday that Pincus, who founded the San Francisco-based company and named it after his American bulldog in 2007, will stay on as chairman and chief product officer.
Mattrick, 49, has served as the president of Microsoft's entertainment business, which includes the Xbox, since 2010. He's been with Microsoft for six years.
Mattrick faces a difficult task. Zynga's stock is down sharply since the company's 2011 initial public offering at $10 per share. Its games have waned in popularity and it announced in June that it was cutting 520 jobs, or about 18 percent of its workforce, to save money.
Pincus seems to think his successor is up to the task. In a statement, Pincus praised Mattrick as "one of the top executives in the overall entertainment business."
"He turned Xbox into the world's largest console-gaming network, growing its installed base from 10 (million) to 80 million and transformed that business from deep losses to substantial profits. And he has grown the Xbox Live player network from 6 (million) to 50 million active members in 41 countries," Pincus said in in a statement.
Before Microsoft, Mattrick was president of worldwide studios at Electronic Arts Inc. He joined EA after it bought Distinctive Software, the company he created at age 17.
Zynga's stock jumped during Monday's session as rumors of Mattrick's appointment spread. Shares closed up 29 cents, or 10.4 percent, at $3.07 and added 11 cents to $3.18 in after-hours trading.

The event is being organised by the Ministry of Water Resources.
Union Minister for Water Resources Professor Saifuddin Soz and Minister of State for Water Resources Jai Prakash Narayan Yadav will also address on the occasion.
Important issues related to 'Integrated Water Resources Development and Management (IWRDM)' like water quality, water supply and health will be discussed to facilitate combined discussions in the day long sessions of the function.
Eminent experts and stakeholders in the field of water resources will participate with suggestion for firming up the strategies in the water sector.
Ministry of Water Resources organised programmes on various issues concerning water sector in partnership with concerned Ministries of Government as well as Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) preceding the World Water Day.
Workshops were organised on data base management, ground water regulation and management, conjunctive use of surface and ground water, eco-system security, technology transfer, investment in water sector, corporate social responsibility as well as civil society participation in the context of IWRDM.
Many Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) have been invited to participate in the programme to make the discussions broad based with the involvement of civil society.
In pursuance of the United Nations General Assembly Resolution, March 22 is observed every year as the World Water Day. However, this year, the UN has decided to observe the World Water Day on March 20.

Well I for one never heard of cooking with a Pressure Cooker. I have cooked a few meals with a Crock Pot Cooker. Could that be what you really meant?

Does anyone here actually routinely use a pressure cooker to cook meals? To be honest, before the bombings I had no idea what the intended use of a pressure cooker was and still can't figure out the allure of using one. I'm pretty competent in the kitchen, but this is beyond me. It just seems unnecessarily dangerous and clean up intensive for mediocre results. I just can't see the appeal of having my dinner autoclaved.
Well I for one never heard of cooking with a Pressure Cooker. I have cooked a few meals with a Crock Pot Cooker. Could that be what you really meant?
Been many years ago but a pressure cooker was essential to my grandmother for canning and they are still used today for the same purpose.
Here is a run down on how it's done. Home Pressure Canner Directions: How They Work, Instructions and Tips to Using Them!
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."

In my younger days I used to work at a restaurant, they used a pressure cooker for the meat, think it may have been pork. I also think that KFC uses presure cookers to cook their chicken. Most common thing I can think of a pressure cooker being used in the house for is canning.
It cuts way down on cooking Times for meat. Chicken falling off the bone in about 30 minutes. Or a London broil falling apart in about an hour. I still use mine occasionally. You just have to make sure its cool enough before opening

--Thomas B. Reed, American Attorney
Second Amendment -- Established December 15, 1791 and slowly eroded ever since What happened to "..... shall not be infringed."
When cleaning out my grandmother's attic I can across a solid old pressure cooker that I ended up giving to her best friend. You would have thought she had won the lottery. It was another case of "they don't made 'em like that anymore". She had purchased a new one but found it to be not quite up to the standards of her old one. She had been keeping an eye out for a used one at the yard sales and flea markets but apparently others realized the value of the vintage models and none were to be found. Ninety nine years old and still canning. Gotta love that generation.
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations James Madison 1788
Things cook faster under higher barometric pressure.
AFAIK, they are useful for 'other things' because they are round, metal, and have a locking lid with a gasket.
I can see this building into a panic buying spree of pressure cookers. Stores will be sold out, manufacturers will be backlogged for the next three years and the DHS will contract with George Foreman 1.5 billion units of his grill.

Springfield xd 45, Sig Sauer SP2022(9mm),Remington 700(.308), Yugo M10 variant w/IZH Kobra optic,...and lots of ammo for all of 'em.
I probably use one at least once a week and have been for too many years to admit.
At 15 pounds of pressure the internal temperature goes up to about 250 degrees compared to 212 without pressure.
Soups, stocks, pot roasts, beens, corned beef and a whole lot of other foods can be cooked in one in less time with less heat needed.
A well browned slab of chuck, chopped onion, garlic, a bay leaf or two, a few allspice berries, paprika and a little salt and pepper if cooked in a pressure cooker will be done to perfection in an hour as compared to 2 or more hours in the oven or on the stove top being braised. Once the pressure is built up inside the amount of heat needed to keep it going is miniscule.
Dried beans will come out perfectly in an hour or so compared to several hours on the stovetop.
Making flavorful but tough meats tender is a snap and requires very little time.
Making a true beef, chicken, veal or pork stock is easy and would take three times the heat and time on a stove top.
A few pounds of onions, a few meaty beef bones and a little salt / pepper and you get an onion soup that is outstanding.
Real authentic goulash: CHUCK beef chunks, a ton of onions, Hungarian paprika (caution it's hot) and salt/pepper is fantastic.
It will not brown foods so the flavor that you normally get from browning will be missing in the final product unless you do the browning before it goes in the cooker.
If you just follow directions it is as safe as anything else done in a kitchen and I've never had an accident with one in 40 years.
Doing stuff like pasta and some vegetables is not the best but reducing things like tomatoes to sauces is great, as the heat and pressure really break down all the cells and the results are great.
I've only seen my grandma use one once a while ago. Other than that, I've really only heard of them being used for canning.
I'm terrified of pressure cookers...really, I am. When I was little my Mother had one to cook potatoes in. One time it exploded in the kitchen. Potatoes blew everywhere, the lid put a dent in the ceiling, it sounded like a bomb went off and made a huge mess. She never used it again and to this day I hate them.
I have PTSD thanks to that pressure cooker.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.- Mark Twain
Never a problem so long as the directions are followed. Lids only blow if the cooker is opened while still under pressure.
Modern ones have locks that will not allow the top to be removed until the pressure is completely gone.
Even the old ones have blow outs or pressure plugs that will pop before the lid blows.
Always stay safe and only use one if you are careful and follow the directions.
My wife used to use one quite a bit until it finally gave out after many years of service. The steam spout got clogged on it and popped off like a champagne cork shooting boiling water and bits of meat all over the ceiling...that was quite a site. Glad my wife wasn't standing in front of it when it happened.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.- Mark Twain

Harshad Desai has endured racial slurs and harassment since moving to Panguitch in 1992, so a ruling that he be allowed to substitute teach in Garfield public schools comes as long overdue vindication.
But the 58-year-old native of India, a U.S. citizen, doesn't hold a grudge. He says he just wants a shot at teaching, to see if it's something he is good at and likes.
Cheryl D. Luke, an administrative law judge for the Utah Labor Commission, determined that Garfield School District officials engaged in racial profiling and prejudice when in 2001, they rejected Desai for a substitute teaching position based on his perceived similarities to the 9/11 terrorists.
Desai "has a brilliant resume," holds master's degrees in chemistry and plastics engineering, and owns and operates two hotels in Panguitch, yet was rejected in favor of Caucasian applicants with no college education, Luke found in her ruling, issued last week.
He is the only applicant rejected in at least five years, a period in which people with criminal convictions (some involving minors) were cleared to substitute teach, the ruling states.
And the district made its decision in secret during a closed board meeting that wasn't properly advertised.
Citing this and other "evidence of deception and [a] cover up," Luke ordered the district to add Desai to its roster of qualified substitute teachers. The district must pay Desai eight years of wages, money he might have earned between October 2001 and July 2009.
And it must create policies to prevent future discrimination.
Garfield school board president Ken Platt declined to comment on Tuesday, saying he hasn't yet read the ruling.
Garfield superintendent George Park, who inherited the complaint from his predecessor Myron Cotton, could not be reached. Park is on paid administrative leave pending an investigation by the Garfield County Attorney's office, which Platt said is unrelated to the discrimination case.
The district can appeal last week's ruling, which his Salt Lake City lawyer, Rachel Otto, fears could defer Desai's teaching dreams indefinitely.
Desai is more optimistic.
He and his wife have lived in the United States since the mid-70s. They fell in love with Panguitch after a family vacation to Bryce Canyon and left their big city life in California to open two hotels, the Marianna Motel Inn and Panguitch Inn.
"His wife wanted to run a business where she could be home with her kids," said Otto.
Desai's three girls are since grown. Business is good, but seasonal. So, to supplement his income and stay busy, he applied to substitute teach in August 2001.
He thought his background in science would be welcomed, considering the statewide shortage of qualified math and science teachers. He underwent training and assumed he had been cleared to teach.
At one point, he received a letter saying he wasn't needed, but Desai figured it was sent in error since the district continued to solicit substitutes in newspaper ads.
After waiting a year to be called, Desai filed a discrimination complaint with the labor commission, only then learning about an Oct. 24, 2001 school board decision to reject his application. The board's agenda contained no reference to Desai, nor did the meeting minutes, the labor commission found.
District officials argued Dasai was rejected for "legitimate" reasons, out of concern over his temper and evidence of altercations with area teens. But the evidence amounted to "stale, petty" accounts from a middle school math teacher and school board member whose children had repeatedly harassed Desai, the commission ruled.
The teens had been told to stay away from Desai but would drive by his motel properties shouting racial slurs and disrupting the guests. One of the teens commonly harassed "slow kids, a town drunk and Mr. Desai" just to get a rise out of them, the commission found.
Desai responded by yelling at the kids, reportedly placing a hand on one and threatening to drive by their homes and disrupt their families -- neither criminal, nor unexpected responses given the situation, the commission ruled.
Those incidents happened years before Desai applied to teach and the problems ceased as soon as the youth "discontinued their racial torment," the ruling states.
District officials also cited a complaint penned by Desai, in which he alleged unfair hiring practices and compared the district to Osama bin Laden. They interpreted the letter as a threat, an unfounded fear in the eyes of the labor commission.
Desai has no intention of leaving Panguitch. "There are a lot of good people here," he said.
He has forgiven the teens, saying "they didn't know any better," and says the district's actions are a reflection of the times.
He pursued his complaint as a matter of principle, and hopes the school system embraces it as a learning opportunity.
"Our education system is responsible for keeping up with the outside world and 21st century," said Desai. "I have a lot to give [as a teacher] and they have a lot to gain."

(Opening Comments)
"Just to sum up the game, obviously there were a lot of good things that happened. We won and the offense just did an incredible job. It put up numbers that are hard to imagine in a game. I was really proud of the special teams play, how we are fielding the kicks back there and changing field position, that was big."
(On the way the Troy game played out)
When you look at the game, the first third of the game we up 28-10, then we go through a period there in the middle where get beat 6-30, and then we finish it 21-8.Of all the things that were good, and I'm on the good first, is what happened with three minutes to go in the game when we were down seven. We had eight different unit changes during that time. The kickoff return unit gets out there and we do a drive start on the 40. The offense scores and we have a not very smart penalty, but the kickoff coverage unit goes out there and we blow one down there and knock them inside the 30 after the penalty. The defense goes three-and-out and the punt return unit goes in and we do a great job of fielding it and getting a first down on the return. The offense goes out and scores and the kickoff unit goes out and we splatter them inside the 10. Then the defense goes out and wins the game. That is the kind of grit a team has to have down the stretch to win a football game and we haven't had that against anybody recently so that was encouraging to see."
(On the defense)
"Obviously there are a lot of issues on defense, a lot of issues. The two fair questions are what is the problem and how do you fix it. I think early on in the season, of course, we had a lot of problems with lining up right and getting the assignments so we really tried to simplify it and we've done that. Now we find ourselves with the same result but we're probably getting there a different way. Philosophically we are a lot of a matchup-oriented team. Whether we are playing zone, whether we are playing man, whether we are bringing pressure, there a lot of different matchups that we play, which, as time goes on during a down, it really puts a lot of stress on some of our players. Whether it is out at the corner position, whether it is at the nickel spot, whether it is at the front on the draw plays, we struggle with a lot of matchups. We have to figure out how to fix it and there are some significant things we are going to do this week that I hope will help. First of all, and maybe I should have done this a little earlier, but I am coming out of the offensive room and putting all of my attention on defense, trying to help create solutions. We are going to do some different things schematically to help take some of the pressure off some of our players and give them a better chance and also to reduce some of the of space that gets created. Certainly as we game plan, there is a lot more input from everybody on what we need to do, where the stress points are and making a decision on what we are not going to do. And we'll do some different things on game day with how we implement and call it and where and all that stuff. We are going to make a lot of changes, but there are no easy answers when you are playing the way we are playing. Of course, the easy solution is to just get rid of people and the only thing I can tell you is that everything that I am doing going forward is for one reason and that is to do what we can to give our players the best chance to beat Missouri. That is all I am really focused on."
(On team chemistry)
"What I am proud of is the team has been so together. I told the team that we won that game because of the chemistry that we have. Not one guy was pointing fingers or getting frustrated and the staff continues to stay together and throw the egos out the window to work together. That is all we are going to keep doing. Our goal this week is to be 1-0, same as last week, and that is what it is about."
(On not forcing turnovers in recent games)
"We need to get those turnovers. You look at some of the turnovers that we had and I think a lot of it was we had some where we were one-on-one, we had good cover position and we went up and made the play and the other guy didn't. We had some where we played some zone, the quarterback got confused, we got a little pressure on him and he served it up. We haven't been getting much pressure on the quarterback and that has caused a lot of problems as the down gets stretched out and we haven't been winning a lot of those one-on-one matchups with the teams we have been playing. Our biggest thing is we need to get more eyes to the football and less eyes on our guys, if that makes sense, so when the ball does come out there are more hats around the ball so we don't just have these gutted plays."
(On why the team is so close this year)
"The team, all the way back to last January, just made a commitment that we are going to be a team and we are going to be together. That kind of commitment can't be only when things are good. You don't turn on your family when they do bad things or they do something that might upset you. You might be hurt and disappointed, you might get angry, but you don't turn on them."
(On the confusion on defense)
"It is not the confusion, it is within the system. We have it in the system. There really hasn't been a lot of confusion lately. It is just not playing it well. Then we say, `how can we help them play better?' Maybe we are putting a little too much stress. What is happening to is, it is a lot of plays. I told the players this, you play it well on two plays and the coach says, `see - he can do it.' Well, over and over again is where you start getting stress points. They have good players to and they are rolling new receivers in and they are juicing it down the field. So it is just taking some of the pressure off, don't throw the fast ball all the time."
(On the pressure of the defense to perform)
"Exactly the things that I am talking about. Just putting a little too much pressure on whether it is the front, whether it is the corners. Some of those third downs were really good calls, really good coverage, we may have a breakdown just technique wise. I have said it from day one, when you have the numbers we have it is just not one thing. It is a little bit of everything."
(On the 3-4 defense)
"We get really caught up in the 3-4. I think a lot of it is philosophically how you defend. Whether it is how you match patterns versus playing good old fashion zone, drop to an area. That is probably the biggest philosophical difference and also philosophically how you are playing upfront. It is not necessarily the 3-4 as it is what do you believe in in playing good defense. I don't have any questions about what we are doing whether it is good or not but that is not really the role of the coach, the role of the coach is you have to take what you know is good and see what your players can do and figure out how to put them in a better position to play the best they can. That is probably where we have broken down."
(On the defensive struggles)
"You are what your bubblegum card is, that is the old line. Where are we on the bubblegum card? There is no point in me saying how we measure up. The stats are what we are right now. Do I think we are better? I course I do. I know we are but we aren't playing it, so we are not."
(On the possibility of moving Prentiss Waggner to safety)
"There has been some discussion on stuff. We put Daniel Gray in. Before we did that we said, `let's see how we can do with moving another corner in there.' Dan competed hard but he gave up a lot of plays. We still need Prentiss at corner.'
(On moving into the defensive meeting room being reactionary)
"It probably would have been reactionary if I had done it four weeks ago. But then you look back and maybe I should have. I am not there saying I am the guru. I am not. I am just there watching and listening and resolving any conflict. If I think we shouldn't do something, I am saying we aren't doing that. Just getting a little more involved and a little more dialogue with the individual players on more specific things. It is just another eye and another set of ears another voice. It will give me a little more comfort in saying, `I don't want that.'
(On changes to coaching on gameday)
"That is something we are working through as a staff. How we call it. Where are our eyes, who is where. We are going to probably make some gameday changes to help."
(On the possibility of moving Sunseri to the booth)
"Could be."
(On trying to do too much on the defense)
"Well, I thought like the biggest issue was we were doing too much. All I wanted to see was shrinking the plan to make the kids play faster and we did that. But there was more to it than that."
(On allowing more voices in the defense meeting room)
"I think early on, especially with a new staff, I used to say this saying as an assistant. `Seek to understand before you seek to be understood.' Every assistant wants to come in and say, `We need to be doing this, we need to be doing that.' But you always have to go learn what systematically we are doing, what the coordinator is doing, how do we want it done. Before you say, `I can't do that.' The input comes within a framework of the system. I think early on, we have some very good and together coaches who say, `tell me the system.' They are learning it and not questioning everything you say and then go coach it. Now it is a little more, we aren't having the success with doing this so everybody has the responsibility at their position to say, `This is where our stress point is.' This is where, whether it is LaDarrell McNeil, Justin Coleman, Dan Gray, AJ Johnson. Here are the stress points and we put it all together and say, `Not do this, not do this.' Should we have done that early on? It is hard to know what the stress points are until you go do it. You don't want to give up on it in two weeks. You put it in and go."
(On the changes to the staff responsibilities on defense)
"Just more responsibility and input in game plan and gameday."
(On Jaron Toney)
"Jaron helped us. He did a good job. The reality is, the more spread out it is, the harder it is on us, in dime. Sometimes AJ and Herman get out there and they force you to get out there in space and it gets tough on them. We have been struggling the last month or so in dime, matching up. You guys have seen it. They hit a lot of underneath stuff in empty. So we just put Jaron in there to be a little more DB guy, who has played the star behind Eric Gordon. It helped us, he did a good job on some things."
(On the possibility of switching others over)
"We started out with Brent Brewer, then we stuck with Herman, then we went to Sapp, and now we are with Jaron."
(On the excitement of watching CP and Justin Hunter play)
"I thought Tyler was awesome. The O-line did another great job. There are just a lot of great things going on on offense right now. They have a little MOJO going on. Tyler, for the second week in a row, has really earned it on the practice field. He has performed well for four quarters. And he did something he had never done. He gets a notch now for bringing a team back in the fourth quarter and winning the game. That is a big monkey off a quarterback back, just performing you can do it. Those guys are fun to watch. CP looks like a video game guy. He makes a lot of cuts."
(On the possibility of slowing down the offense to give the defense more time to rest)
"It's a great point, believe me and I thought about it during that game. The reality is if we were playing our offense the way we played last year, these guys wouldn't have 700 yards. (Troy) would have had 75 plays instead of 100. But then I am thinking to myself, what I don't want to do is screw up something that's really good. And our offense is really good right now. I was prepared when we went to this (up-tempo offense) that we weren't going to be as good on defense. But, we have to be better than what we are. I don't have an answer to that, other than when you make a commitment to go up-tempo you go up-tempo."
(On the hiring of Sal Sunseri)
"When you are in this position you are going to get criticized when you don't get results. It doesn't have anything to do with what's fair or right, it's just the way it is. Like Bruce Hornsby and the Range: it's just the way it is.
(On third-and-long struggles)
"There were a couple of third-and-longs, I will just go through them. The first one was a really big one, it's 28-10 (UT), it's third-and-12 and we have chance to get off the field and go up 35-10 and who knows what would happen. And we are playing zone, a good call, and we just don't know what happened. We don;t play it the way we need to play it. So they catch a ball, a little short pass and we are really not in position and he runs around us. That all is just technique. It's not something we haven't worked on, it's not something we were ready for. We just didn't play it well. Then we had the draw plays, the draw plays were a problem. This is what I talk about when you play a lot of man-match, when our eyes turn back they are all on matching the patterns, but to do that it's five-on-five up front. We are running some games to stop the draw, but if we don't execute it right up front, and they split, now you are in trouble. So, we can't do that anymore. It's putting too much stress on those front guys to stop it and we obviously are showing we can't do that. Then there are some where we are pressed up man and they just throw it one-on-one over our heads. We need to back them off. Each of those third downs were different scenarios but we have to have better solutions to help our players. That's the way it is."
(On the style of defense)
"Bleeding to death looks pretty good right now. That's what I am getting to. I'd love to bleed. We are just getting (slashing motion). That's what I am getting at. We needed to bleed a little bit, that's what I am getting at. But we also didn't have an offense scoring what we were scoring last year. So we needed to create. We had an offense that we were talking about what we are talking about on defense right now. What are you going to do on offense, you need to create more on defense. Right now, it wouldn't be bad to bleed a little bit. Get a little cut."
(On Missouri)
"They haven't had the success they that they probably anticipated. But the quarterback (James Franklin), he didn't play Vandy, he didn't play the Kentucky game (came on late), he didn't play two other games. He's obviously the real key to them. He will be there Saturday, so we have to go defend him. They are playing great defense, they really are. Bigtime defense. Look at them rankings-wise. Look what they did to Florida. They are a top 20 defense and so we are going to see if our offense can go perform, which we have to this point. But we need to go put some points on the board."
(On Missouri's defense)
"Their front is where it starts. They have a special game-wrecker up front, which most good defense have. They play incredibly sound and fly to the ball. They are similar in a lot of ways to how South Carolina plays up front. Aggressive, tenacious penetrating. They have a lot of good players. They are doing a good job."
(On Dan McCullers' progress)
"We are trying to get him to play a little better. He gets tired out there. He can be a little more disruptive in some of the sub (packages) stuff. His biggest thing is pad level and motor. When he makes a choice to do it, he's really hard to stop."
(On the pace of the offense)
"I'm not going to slow down. There's nothing that I haven't thought about. If I felt like that was our best chance to win, I would. You have all these thoughts in your head and then you just have to say 'what's our best chance to win?' Even in the SEC games, we've had two chances to win at the end on offense. So we are there, we just haven't done it enough."
(On Deion Bonner)
"There's no change in his status as of now. The only thing I have is the stuff that has been presented to me by him and anything else is a no issue. Unless, I get anything else."
(On getting Patterson the ball more often)
"We have had a concerted effort every week. I really believe, CP, we got on him a lot with his practice habits. Getting that timing with Tyler and he made a really conscious decision to practice better last week and I told him on Thursday, 'you practiced great this week and it's going to pay off in the game.' I had not doubts and paid off, hopefully he will do it again."
(On Patterson's talent and his unassuming way about himself)
"He knows, he's being a good sport about it and I told him to be that way. He knows how good he is."
(On injuries)
"Tiny (Richardson) is a little dinged. Rajion (Neal), he wasn't 100 percent, but you see it in his (head). He's just not there. He was in a groove and we have to get him back to the groove. Zach (Fulton) wasn't quite there, he didn't play as well, but he's okay. They are dinged up. (Trevarris) Saulsberry has an MCL, a little sprain on his knee, so he's doubtful for the game. Devrin (Young) is back. He had a concussion."

The last has not been heard of the controversies that is surrounding Aishawarya Rai and the out coming movie Heroine. She has returned the check that was given to her in respect to her starring roles in the movie. However she is now fighting back as she has sent legal notices to her adversaries in the movie which include the UTV and Madhur Bhandarkar. Nevertheless movie lovers have not ceased asking why the latest line of action.
From all indications the star actress is venting her anger on the duo for the scandal that has followed her name after she was dropped out of the movie because of her reported pregnancy. We are reliably informed that the star actress has already sent legal warning to both UTV and Bhandarkar to prevent them from using any footage of the movie that has her name. It would be recalled that before the controversies surfaced she has started playing roles in the movie she has shut for 8 days.
Sources close to the lady said that the star actress was miffed with the whole thing especially at the latest turn of events. She has been ethically and passionately concerned with her profession she would not want those things to dent her good image and reputation. That has made her to start fighting in time to start the movie director and producer from using any of the footages that had her image in the movie.
It was confirmed that the star actress had returned the money that was given to her, a development which was confirmed by the film producers.

Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
Hi dear attorney. my girlfriends poor old grandma slipped and fell in subway and the attorney and the paralegal have been jerking them for appx. 2 years. They keep brushing it off and ignoring calls and extending day by day without an answer/status. I got upset and i told my girlfriend i will call and I did and i was pissed and told the girl who answered the phone that i have been attempting to get status for my grandma and have been jerked around and ignored by the paralegal, which i really have. He would say, "call me later, I am not in the office, call me in an hour" and so on.... so I got pissed and decided to calll the office.
I told the girl that i am sick of being treated like a child and I need an answer or I will take legal action. Then the attorney questioned me about what legal action I will take and I said well I need status and if you will not give it to me I am going to get a lawyer and take legal action.
Do I have a right to do this? THANK YOU SO MUCH

Not sure if you do or not. You might have a malpractice claim, well grandmother might, or you might not. Can't tell from the info you provide. You absolutely have a grievence that the State Bar would be interested in, however.
The attorney has no obligation to give you a status on the case because you are not his client. He has an obligation to his client though. You got have the grandma/client call for status or get an authorization from grandma that she is giving you permission to get status of the case so you can call on her behalf. There may be other remedies available as well. You won't get into trouble for saying what you said. The attorney probably would not take you seriously anyways.

2008 Infiniti G37 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2008 Infiniti G37 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
On vehicles equipped with a "foot operated" parking brake, the "brake" warning light may stay illuminated even though the parking brake is fully released. Our technicians tell is a revised parking brake assembly is available to correct this concern.
The traction control/anti-lock brake system (ABS)/Slip warning light may illuminate with code C1142 stored, Our technicians suggest that if the brake light switch and brake pedal are operating correctly, the ABS control module and actuator may require replacement.
A weak battery may result in illumination of the Check Engine Light with fault code P0603 stored.
A "tapping sound" may develop from the drivers side of the engine. The noise may be associated with the variable valve event and lift actuator. Our technicians tell us a software update for the powertrain control module (PCM) is available to correct this issue.
Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission may exhibit an increase of engine RPM (of up to 500 RPM) when braking. Our technicians tell us upgraded powertrain control module (PCM) software is available which should correct this concern.
The GPS screen may intermittently "lock up" and the faulty can be corrected by turning off the ignition for several minutes. Our technicians tell us that updating the GPS software should correct this concern.

I have hunted behind and helped train several. IMHO AND AGAIN THIS IS JUST MY OPONION--All WPgs that I have helped train have all been really slow to learn, and not real strong on pointing or use of nose. When you do find a GOOD breeder they tend to run at prices that IMO you could have a dog with alot more drive and desire. To me there is nothing more impresive than a dog that will hunt and think and learn on his own. A dog that has to be directed to where a duck has fallen every time shows both lack of desire and laziness. I would be cautious with this breed just becasue of the desire factor. As far as being able to use them for waterfowl--There would be no problem with using one since they have the wire coat---with proper introduction to water they should swim like a fish.
Hope this helps---What other breeds have you looked at? There are many versatile dogs to choose from that will exceed in both waterfowl and upland
If you havent looked into these I would
GSP--Although if you plan to use for waterfowl look for a breeder who has dogs in the 70-80lb range

Put the car up one corner at a time and grab the tire @ 3 & 9 o'clock: shake the wheel/tire and see if the thing shakes around like it's not bolted in tight. Also try @ 12 & 6 o'clock, too.
Mine was doing that, so I flushed the braking system 6 times and it didn't go away. I even used the Ford IDS system to look at wheel speed sensor signals. All that did was point to the wheel that the axle nut had become loose on... of course I didn't figure it out until parking it and messing with it a week later out of desperation. And when that symptom crept up again, I found out the rear on the opposite side had done the same thing.
The wheel speed sensors use a calibrated air-gap and teeth to do it's "math"; if the axle nut is indeed come loose, it's allowing excessive endplay (a.k.a. too much movement/outside it's calibrated specs) so the ABS kicks on to mitigate what it's perceiving as a traction loss... You may also have a speed sensor issue or broken tone ring. The easiest home-test you can do is put it in the air and shake those wheels to check for endplay!
BTW; my lugs were torqued properly when I did that video.

Dove® Men+Care® Portrays The Personal Playbooks of Sports Legends John Elway and Doug Flutie
Iconic quarterback duo featured in the new NCAA® football "Journey to Comfort" campaign
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ, August 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Sports fans know John Elway as a college and professional football Hall-of-Famer and Doug Flutie for his celebrated "Hail Mary" pass, but few know that Elway likes to hit the dance floor with his children at family gatherings, or that Flutie incentivized his daughter's soccer team to win a game by allowing them to paint his fingernails. This 2012 NCAA Football season, Elway and Flutie join the next Dove®Men+Care® "Journey to Comfort" campaign to share personal experiences—on and off the field—that have helped them become comfortable in their own skin. Thanks to the Dove®Men+Care® line of grooming products, all guys can literally be comfortable in their own skin with Antiperspirants/Deodorants and Personal Washes specifically designed for men.
Elway and Flutie's "Journey to Comfort" video series showcases how they understand the importance of caring for themselves and others. Beginning September 1, their stories will air on college football programming throughout the season as part of Unilever's multi-year NCAA Corporate Partnership, as well as DoveMenCare.com, Facebook.com/DoveMenCareUS, and www.youtube.com/dovemencareus. A Dove® Men+Care® collaboration with Microsoft Xbox LIVE will also allow fans to view Elway and Flutie's videos from the comfort of their "home field" on their personal gaming consoles.
"The Journey to Comfort campaign celebrates men in a positive way by depicting some of their most important life experiences, from professional achievements to raising a family," said Rob Candelino, Vice President, Unilever Skincare. "Dove®Men+Care® is committed to representing men authentically, and sharing off-the-field milestones from sports icons like Elway and Flutie helps redefine what it means for a man to be a champion."
The "Journey to Comfort" videos provide a glimpse into each man's personal and professional life. Never-before-heard anecdotes about brotherly rivalries, funny family moments, as well as how fatherhood enhanced their lives are just some of the experiences revealed by these well-known quarterbacks.
"Most dads know how it feels to wave to your children when leaving or coming home from work," said Elway. "Throughout my career I cherished home games because I would look up to the stands and wave to my kids before taking the field. My 'Journey to Comfort' is filled with special moments from inside the stadium, but that is one few fans might know."
Elway and Flutie join an all-star roster of athletes who have appeared in past "Journey to Comfort" videos, including Drew Brees, Albert Pujols, Joe Girardi, Andy Pettitte, Magic Johnson, John Thompson III, Bobby Hurley, Stewart Cink, Davis Love III, Kirk Herbstreit, Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Nash and Tom Izzo. This admired group has all reached a stage where they are comfortable in their own skin.
Fan Face-Off
College football brings out the biggest rivalries of all time and now guys can compete head-to-head with fellow fans. Earn extra bragging rights this season by participating in the Dove® Men+Care® Fan Bowl Photo Challenge. Even after the game is over, fans can still keep the football spirit alive by submitting photos in weekly digital challenges doled out by the "Journey to Comfort" quarterbacks. Challenges will ask fans to share their "Most Impressive Tailgate Spread" or to don their "Best Game Face" for a chance to win "Bowl Game" tickets or meet John Elway. The Dove® Men+Care® Fan Bowl Photo Challenge starts September 6, and all submitted photos will be featured in an image gallery located on DoveMenCare.com and Facebook.com/DoveMenCareUS.
Instant Replay
If sports fans miss Elway and Flutie's stories during NCAA® College Football programming (airing across ABC, FOX, CBS, and the ESPN family of networks), they can check out the "Journey to Comfort" videos anytime at www.dovemencare.com and www.youtube.com/dovemencareus. Men can also watch the videos while in the comfort of their personal stadiums by visiting a dedicated Unilever "ManCave" hub on Xbox LIVE. The "ManCave" will include Dove® Men+Care® college football videos, games and trivia, along with content from other Unilever brands such as AXE®, CLEAR®, Degree®, and Klondike®.
NCAA® and NCAA Football Corporate Partnership
Unilever, the makers of Dove®, will spotlight Dove®Men+Care® during its second season as the official body wash, bar and antiperspirant of NCAA Football. As a leader in personal care, this multi-year commitment includes Unilever's full portfolio of men's and women's personal care brands with exclusive category marketing and promotional rights related to all 89 NCAA championship events across 23 men's and women's sports as well as integrated marketing opportunities, retail and print promotions, and online and television advertising.
Total Skin Comfort
Thanks to Dove®Men+Care® all men can literally be comfortable in their own skin. Built on Unilever's success in the men's deodorant category and the Dove® brand's heritage in superior skincare, new Dove®Men+Care® Aqua Impact Deodorants and Antiperspirants are specifically designed to be tough on sweat, not on skin. The collection provides total underarm care with 48-hour odor and wetness protection, and has a unique formula that fights skin irritation. Joining the line of Dove® Men+Care® Body and Face Washes are new Clean Defense and Fresh Awake. The Dove® Men+Care® Body and Face Washes have skin care built in and are clinically proven to fight skin dryness better than regular men's body washes. They are the number one choice of dermatologists.

Former Preakness Runner Hemmingway's Key Serves New Role In Ocala
Published May 18th, 2013
Loading Video...
OCALA- In 2006, Hemmingway's Key finished 3rd in the Preakness Stakes, and while it's a slower pace these days for the retired two-time stakes champion, the gelding from Kinsman Stables still serves an important role in retirement.
Hemmingway's Key is one of 42 horses at Second Chance Farms, a retirement farm across the street from Lowell Correctional Insitute in Ocala.
Each day, 15 inmates have the chance to work the farm with manager John Evans, taking care of the property, the horses, and working towards a certification in Equine Care Technology.
Jennifer Barrett has worked at the farm for a year now, and has formed a special bond with Hemmingway's Key, one that helps her during a difficult time in her life.

2001.5 1.8t Passat, I have this p0343 code when I used the scan tool at murrays or oreileys whatever the h they are now (the code means something like cam angle sensor high input). Any suggestions on search terms? The t-belt was due for service a while ago , am I looking at a sensor problem or a wiring problem or a timing/engine problem? How should I check and where? I hear the timing belt can be a pain on the 1.8s, I have done a mk4 trans and a bit of other stuff but I do have a lot going on right at the moment and I'm not sure if I have time. I have a feeling if I take it in for service they will probably find the blow through from the turbo and pull the engine because of "sludge".
thanks in advance
this isn't the car in question but it is my ride

ZTE Corporation (ShenZhen, P.R.C), a global provider of telecommunications equipment, announced it will supply GPON fiber to the home (FTTH) equipment for BelTelecom's (Minsk, Belarus) national broadband network project in Belarus.
The project, which is comprised of multiple phases, aims to build a high-speed network that spans the entire country. The first phase covers all the seven regions of the country, including the capital of Minsk, with expansion planned for subsequent phases. According to BelTelecom, once completed, the project is expected to provide data and video services, as well as broadband applications such as distance education and telemedicine, across a high-speed Internet infrastructure. In addition, it will also deliver HDTV service to users across the country.
BelTelecom operates all the fixed-line and data transmission services in Belarus and holds a stake in the top 3 local mobile operators. ZTE started to provide BelTelecom with IPTV products in 2007, and has since supplied the operator with more than 1.5 million ADSL terminals.
ZTE's FTTH solution is based on the ZXA10 C300next-generation integrated access platform and uses a range of Optical Network Terminals (ONTs).
"We have paid close attention to BelTelecom's broadband construction all along. Ever since ZTE started to supply fixed-line terminals, we have been offering them customized products and services," said ZTE Vice President Xu Ming.
