Vall Llach Priorat 2005
Other Red Blends from Priorat, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
A blend of 65% Cariñena, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. 15% Syrah and 5% Merlot.
In the rolling hills of Porrera, within the winemaking region of Priorat, grow the ancient vines of Celler Vall Llach. Dating back over 100 years, many of their vines are pre-phylloxera and provide Vall Llach's flagship wine with its characteristic elegant structure and individual character. The proprietary blend is soft and sultry, possessing a unique blend of mineral, rich dark fruit and Mediterranean herb flavors. The estate recommends opening this wine one hour before serving to permit it to fully blossom in the glass.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The flagship 2005 Vall-Llach is composed of 65% Carinena, 15% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot aged for 12 months in new French oak. Many of the Carinena vines for this cuvee are pre-phylloxera. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up a splendid aromatic array including pain grille, slate, mushroom, espresso, garrigue, blueberry, and black currant. Opulent, full-bodied, and rich, this pedal to the metal Priorat possesses 8-10 years of aging potential. The winery claims it can be cellared for up to 50 years; that could well prove true although many of us will not be around to find out or our delay of gratification will have long given out."
Wine Enthusiast - "For the second vintage in a row, Vall Llach's signature red blend is out on its own. The bouquet is round and deep, with alluring cola, mint and blackberry aromas. The palate is alive but still quite dark, with huge black plum and blackberry flavors. Super long on the finish, with a subtle streak of vanilla and coconut. Delicious but also deft. 450 cases produced."
Vall Llach Winery
From its founding in the early 1990s, by famed Spanish singer Lluís Llach and notary Enric Costa, Vall Llach winemaking has been governed by a commitment to rigor and quality. The winery lies in the tiny village of Porerra, in southern Catalonia, in the highly-acclaimed D.O.Q. Priorat. Here, the magnificent century-old vineyard estates of Vall Llach are home to 60- to 90-year-old Cariñena and Garnacha vines.
Old vines naturally produce low yields, and Vall Llach reduces yields even further through careful vineyard management for densely concentrated wines. Vineyards climb steep slate hillsides, receiving optimum sun exposure and beneficial water deprivation, further concentrating the fruit. Newer plantings of Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah add complexity to the old-vine character, and the resulting wines - Vall Llach, Idus, and Embruix - have received high critical acclaim.

About PrioratView a map of Priorat wineries (pree-ohr-aht) Spain, sparking envy among collectors. The region has become something of a cult wine producer, creating wines that cost up to 5 times that of a quality Rioja. The region has a special soil, called llicorella made of a brown slate mixed together with rocks. Mountains surround the area and the vines are tended by hand.
Notable FactsThe red wines here are based on Garnacha, and produce inky wine with intense fruit flavors of blackberry and plums, not to mention a required minimum of 13.5% alcohol. The secondary grape of the region is Carinena (Carignan in France). This grape has lost favor in most parts of the world due to its rustic nature, but here in Priorat it's a welcome structural addition to the Garnacha based wines.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

You're right. However, the netif_queue_stopped check doesn't make sense. If the queue isn't stopped, you'd be leaving the qdisc open which means that it can fill up later on. Remember the problem is not just with NIC drivers stopping the queue explicitly, some NICs simply won't process the TX rings when the carrier is off.
I know. I've given this a lot of thought already - and failed to come up with a solution for everything. Regarding the sort of NICs you mention, I came to the conclusion that we shouldn't try to fix this in the stack. They indicate that they can take more packets (by NOT calling netif_stop_queue), so we should obey this and leave it to the drivers to handle things, e.g. by dropping the packets if needed. Otherwise we deprive the drivers the option of maintaining their tx_carrier_errors statistics, for instance. And, theoretically, a driver could even depend on having its hard_start_xmit invoked in order to kickstart its TX engine. As stated earlier: if a driver holds on to packets "indefinitely", it is buggy. This should be fixed, rather than the core having to jump through loops trying to remedy things. So, I am reluctant to drop this check for netif_queue_stopped. Doing so would needlessly impact the drivers that work fine already (or at least should be handling this situation).
The other concern I have is that this code can call dev_activate or dev_deactivate twice in a row. As far as I can tell this is harmless for the moment but it would be nice if we can avoid it.
Agreed, this isn't ideal. However, if this is the only downside, it is something that I'd be happy to live with. I don't see any easy way to avoid it. Ideas, anyone? -Tommy

Among those to take action are Lloyds TSB, MBNA and Barclaycard, who will reduce their charges from over £20 to £12 in the next two months.
In April, the OFT said default charges must halve or providers could face legal action.
But one of the providers has responded by saying interest rates for some card holders will go up.
We asked for your comments. This debate is now closed.
We have only been overdrawn once and that was 30 years ago. We have always stayed within our budget limits and pay off our credit card bills monthly. Obviously we are not the sort of clients banks and credit card companies want as we do not gain them any extra money except for the interest on our money in the bank.
Surely it is not beyond people to arrange to pay the minimum credit card amount directly by direct debit? Also are we the only people to keep track of what is going in and out of our accounts? I check ours regularly online. It takes only a few minutes and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening with our accounts. Jenny
Charges are in the terms and conditions which we signed up to when taking the card so why whinge about it afterwards? John, Sheffield
I don't think £12 is OK. I recently got charged for not paying on time when my bill was posted to the wrong address. When I explained the circumstances to a member of staff she said it was very likely I'd get the charge refunded because of my account record. When I got my statement, the £25 was charged. I called again and was told "these charges are put onto accounts automatically by the computer". So, where are the costs being incurred by the banks?
I think that charges and fines should be considerably higher in order to discourage irresponsible borrowing and credit taking. Lowering these charges can only encourage this irresponsible conduct. A Freeman, London
People must pay reasonable costs for going overdrawn! However banks too should bear the costs of lending irresponsibly. The banks lend money too easily nowadays and when someone defaults they recover the costs by arguing high charges for collecting the debt and by penalising their wider customer base. Also the banks seem to lack common sense arguing for a large penalty charge for people going over their credit limit by a small amount, and then wanting to increase the same person's credit limit by thousands. Andrew, Barnsley
Responsible customers shouldn't be penalised in favour of those who continue to miss payments. Some of the banks already take a stealth charge via our telephone bills by using expensive 0870 numbers for customer services. Chris Grey, Guildford
I don't think it is unreasonable to face a charge for late payment. When you sign the credit agreement for a credit card you confirm that you understand the terms and conditions of its issue and use. If you don't read it then who is really at fault?
Secondly, there is no excuse for a late payment given that you can subscribe to pay the monthly minimum payment by direct debit. Then the responsibility lies with the card supplier to apply for the required funds. Also remember that you can use the Direct Debit Guarantee to retrieve a payment from the card supplier if they take an unauthorised payment.Jonathan, Aberdeen
I will be returning my credit card on the day I officially receive notification of the recent changes to the terms and conditions of the card issuer.
I was recently charged a late payment fee even though my payment was applied to the account one day after its due-by date, even though I submitted the payment one day earlier than stated on the statement and was delayed by the two days public holidays over Easter, and the late payment charge was applied to my account two days after my payment was posted.
Fortunately, my account is now clear and thus I can now dispense with my card rather than retain it as a temptation.Martin Gosney, Barclaycard
I support the banks' charges for unauthorised overdrafts, exceeding credit limits and not making a payment in time. The first two amount to helping yourself to money that isn't yours, and can be avoided by setting up an overdraft or an increased credit limit.
Limiting the charges to recovery of costs means that there is no incentive for cardholders to abide by the rules. In which case the rest of us, who do stick to credit and overdraft limits and who pay their bills on time, are subsidising those who don't. Where's the justice in that? If you can't stick to a credit or overdraft limit, and can't be bothered to pay the bill, you have to accept the consequences. Or cut up your cards.Colin, Cirencester
I think that people need to realise that spending money that isn't there's should be penalised. If banks did not levy charges, people would spend the bank's money willy nilly, thus having a negative effect on us people who are responsible users of bank accounts or credit cards. No-one complains at being fined £60 for speeding or missing our parking ticket by five minutes!Gordon, Dundee
You stay within your credit limit and pay at least the minimum amount by the due date and I believe you don't have to pay the £12. Decide to spend more money than they have agreed to lend you, or don't make payments when you should, and you get charged £12. Fairly simple choice really.Stuart Smith, Wigan
I missed the payment day by one day over the Easter holidays and my bank have charged £25!Terry Bransbury, London
I think £12 is fair amount.Delia Jay, Bath
What about overdraft charges? My bank charges £30 for sending a letter even though the overdraft amount is minimal and there is credit payment in the system - often delayed by the banks ridiculous four days to transfer money.George, London
Why should there be any charge? Going over your limit or making a late payment both result in more interest being paid, isn't this enough? Peter, Bury
I've been in contact with my banks and one or two credit card companies. When I put the OFT ruling of a £12 threshold to them, they were more than happy to investigate - however one response was: they knew of no such ruling, they were within their legal right to impose these charges (£20, £25 or £30 as the case may be), and as far as this issue was concerned, were not answerable to the OFT. Emmanuel, London
My wife had a direct debit fail because she was £1 under the amount in her account needed to cover it and has been charged £39! Franco Proctor, Plymouth
This very week I have cut up and returned my store card after forgetting to pay £5 and being charged £15. I wrote and asked for a refund which was refused. I've voted with my feet, which is the only thing banks and card issuers understand.David Watson, Edinburgh
A couple of months ago whilst I was abroad, an unexpected direct debit was taken from my account. This was quickly corrected. However, the following month the bank levied a £30 charge, causing the account to again exceed the authorised limit, so the bank charged another £30 a month later.
I have little doubt that the banks will find another way of making money if this particular avenue is closed to them. If they were not so necessary, I would do without a bank altogether. David, Fareham

A shark caught on WA drum lines.
The RSPCA has spoken out against the West Australian government's shark drum line program which could be extended to operate for a further three years.
RSPCA Australia chief scientist Bidda Jones told Fairfax Media the RSPCA "does not support the culling of sharks as a response to public concern over shark attacks to humans".
Following the death of seven people within a period of three years, the WA government introduced shark-kill zones off parts of the WA coast.
Baited drum lines were deployed about one kilometre off Perth metropolitan beaches in January, which was followed by a similar rollout in parts of the South West.
As part of the program, to run until April 30, any tiger, bull or great white shark longer than three metres caught on the hooks will be shot dead.
Dr Jones said she would be further concerned if claims about the way sharks were being handled by fisheries officers were true.
Dr Jones said while in other states the RSPCA might be able to step in and take action, there were legislative limitations in WA.
"The RSPCA is unable to act in an enforcement capacity on cruelty complaints relating to sharks as they are not covered by the Animal Welfare Act 2002," she said.
Dr Jones said however there might be ways that the cull could be challenged on environmental/conservations grounds.
"Legislative limitations aside, the RSPCA and the public at large can make their views on the cull known directly to the WA Government. "
Andy Corbe, who has been monitoring activity since the program began in January, said he had witnessed undersized live sharks being dumped as if they were dead as well as other concerning actions by fisheries officers.
Dr Jones said scientific evidence demonstrated that fish, including sharks, were capable of experiencing pain and suffering.
"If we accept that fish are sentient and can experience pain, then we have an ethical obligation to treat them humanely and avoid practices that have the potential to cause them pain, injury or suffering.
"Where sharks are caught and injured by baited hooks or other devices, they should be assessed and only released if they are considered to have a high likelihood of survival.
"Moribund or seriously injured sharks should be humanely killed."
Mr Corbe, who shadows fisheries officers in his boat, said he was concerned shark drum lines were not being checked regularly.
"The northern-most lines near Mullaloo are generally baited about 4pm and may not be checked until 8 or 9am."
Dr Jones said one of the key problems with drum lines was the time that sharks, or other non-target animals, could be caught on the lines before they were checked.
"During this time caught animals will be experiencing pain and suffering," she said.
"Being left trapped and in pain for long period of time is unacceptable for any animal: it is unacceptable for terrestrial animals caught in leg-hold traps and unacceptable for sharks caught on baited hooks."
Mr Corbe said he hasd also witnessed damaged, undersized sharks that had been taken off hooks being tdumped on top of already-baited drum lines so observers could not get close enough to the shark to assist it to swim.
There is a 50 metre exclusion zone for operational drum lines.
"I appreciate 100 per cent that fisheries officers don't have the time to swim the animal back to recovery and they would need a small boat and for people to get into the water, but why wouldn't they allow us to do this?"
A spokesperson for the Department of Premier and Cabinet, which deals with media queries relating to the Department of Fisheries, told Fairfax Media the government would not be providing a response to questions submitted.
Dr Jones believes there should be legislative change so sharks would come under animal welfare laws.
"As the purpose of animal welfare legislation is to protect all sentient animals from cruelty, the definition of animal in such legislation should be broad and include all live vertebrate species of animal – and that includes fish," Dr Bidda said.
"RSPCA Australia believes there is no justifiable basis for excluding fish from the protections afforded under the WA Animal Welfare Act."
While Mr Corbe has not made an official complaint himself, it is understood that a written complaint about similar matters has been submitted to the Department of Fisheries and the state government.
The WA government has submitted a proposal to Canberra asking for approval to continue killing sharks, which are a protected species, as part of its shark mitigation program for three more years.

Brachial plexus
The brachial plexus is a group of nerves that run from the lower neck through the upper shoulder area. These nerves allow the shoulder,arm, forearm, and hand to move and feel things.
Damage to the brachial plexus nerves can cause muscle and sensation problems that are often associated with pain in the same area. Symptoms may include loss of feeling or sensation in your arm or hand, trouble moving your arm, or a lack of muscle control in the arm, hand, or wrist.

How to start an IBM Rational DOORS Web Access as a Microsoft Windows service
Technote (FAQ)
How do you start an IBM Rational DOORS Web Access as a Microsoft Windows service?
IBM Rational DOORS Web Access is generally started manually on Microsoft Windows and the user who starts it needs to remain logged in for the process to continue running.
It is possible, using Microsoft tools, to create a Microsoft Windows service that starts the IBM Rational DOORS Web Access (DWA) processes.
The steps described below are unsupported by IBM Rational and are provided on as "AS IS" basis.
Note: The process below will require Windows Registry edits. If you would rather not modify the Windows registry as described below, but still want to automate DWA startup, you may be interested in Core Technologies Consulting, LLC's AlwaysUp product. Please note that this is a third-party product which is not supported or endorsed by IBM.
These steps require the following applications, which are part of the Microsoft Windows 2003 Resource Kit (which also works on Microsoft Windows XP)
- insterv.exe
- srvany.exe
Note: Download the Microsoft Windows 2003 Resource Kit. Note that for Windows Server 2008, there is no equivalent of the Microsoft Windows 2003 Resource Kit. One way to work around this would be to copy the files from the Microsoft Windows 2003 Resource Kit onto the Windows 2008 server system and then set up the services -- once again, this a custom, unsupported process.
These tools allow you to create a Microsoft Windows user-defined service.
For best results, write a script to start (and stop) DOORS Web Access. This will automate the individual steps in the correct order. Creating a script that starts DOORS Web Access allows you to create a single Microsoft Windows service to start DOORS Web Access.
To write the .bat file for each script, put the commands in the correct order. Feel free to use variables/parameters to make the script more flexible/portable. You may want to create a special user to run the DWA start/stop scripts, so it is easy to spot which processes belong to DWA when using the Windows Task Manager.
A typical Windows DOORS Web Access start script would:
- Start the DWA broker as instructed in the DOORS Web Access install guide.
- Wait for the DWA broker to start.
- Start the Interoperation server process by running doors.exe with the -interop flag as instructed in the DOORS Web Access install guide.
- Wait for the Interoperation server to start.
- Start the DWA server as instructed in the DOORS Web Access install guide.
A typical Windows DOORS Web Access stop script would:
- Stop the DWA server as instructed in the DOORS Web Access install guide.
- Wait for the DWA server to stop.
- Stop the Interoperation server process.
- Wait for the Interoperation broker to stop.
- Stop the DWA broker as instructed in the DOORS Web Access install guide.
Here are two ways to make a DOS script wait:
- Use the sleep command, courtesy of Windows 2003 Resource kit:
- If you don't want to get the sleep command, you can emulate sleep using this ping workaround:
PING <invalid_host> -n 1 -w <time_in_ms> >NUL
-n 1 ==> send one echo request
-w ==> time (in ms) to wait before timing out
Using ping like this with an invalid host will result in a pause for the specified time, emulating sleep.
Example that times out in 30 sec.:
PING 220.127.116.11 -n 1 -w 30000 >NUL
Depending on your environment, several different techniques can be used to stop the Interoperation server process:
- If you run the DWA scripts manually, you can stop the Interoperation server process manually. In the DWA stop script, set up a pause command so the script waits for you to manually kill the Interoperation server process. For example:
REM stop the Interoperation server process
echo Kill the Interoperation server (close its cmd window) then press Enter
- If you start DWA automatically but still stop DWA by manually running the DWA stop script, you can manually kill the Interoperation server process via the Windows Task Manager, by killing its doors.exe process. This is where having a dedicated DWA user to run the scripts comes in handy, as it makes the Interoperation server process doors.exe process much easier to find. In this case, you can use the code from option #1 with minor changes to the echo command.
- If you need a fully automated solution, you will need a command that finds and kills the Interoperation server process in your DWA stop script. One way to do this is with the Windows TASKKILL command (type "TASKKILL /?" from a DOS window for syntax/details). The following example (forcibly) kills all doors.exe processes (including children) started by dwa_user:
TASKKILL /FI "USERNAME eq dwa_user" /IM doors.exe /F /T
This solution contains information about modifying the system registry. Before making any modifications to the Microsoft Registry Editor, it is strongly recommended that you make a backup of the existing registry. For more information describing how to back up the registry, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 256986
To create a Microsoft Windows user-defined service, perform the following steps:
- Open an MS-DOS command window in the Microsoft Windows 2003 Resource Kit directory (C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools).
To verify your command window is in the correct directory, you can issue this command:
dir *srv*
If you are in the right directory, you will see a list of executables, including insterv.exe and srvany.exe. From now on, this directory will be referred to as: <RESKIT_DIR>
- In the command window, type this command:
INSTSRV.EXE <name of your DWA service> "<RESKIT_DIR>\SRVANY.EXE"
INSTSRV.EXE DWAService "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\SRVANY.EXE"
If the command worked, you will get a success message. You can also look in the Services applet from the Microsoft Windows Control Panel to verify that the new service was added. Open the new service and verify that the path to the executable is the correct path to srvany.exe.
- Run Registry Editor (Start -> Run then type regedit).
- Locate the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<name of your DWA service>
- Right-click the sub-key from Step 3 and click New -> Key.
The Key Name should be: Parameters
- Right-click the Parameters key you just created and click New -> String Value.
The Value Name should be: Application
- Right-click the Application value you just created and click Modify. Set Value data to the absolute path to the application executable including the extension. In this case, it would be the absolute path to the script you wrote to automate the DOORS Web Access startup process.
Note: If path contains space, add it in double-quotes. Example: "C:\DOORS Web Access\startDWA.bat"
8. Close the Registry Editor.
Your new Microsoft Windows service is now ready to be started. By default, a newly created service is configured to run automatically when the system is restarted. To change this setting to Manual, run the Services applet from the Microsoft Windows Control Panel and change the Startup value to Manual.
A service set to Manual can be started in one of several ways:
- From the Services applet in Control Panel
- From the MS-DOS command prompt, with the 'net start' command
Note: The above procedure can be used to automate an application startup sequence so it can be started automatically at boot time without having to log in as a specific user to start it manually. It is not recommended that you use the Microsoft Windows "stop service" function to stop the user-defined service created with the procedure above, as it will not stop the application cleanly. We recommend that you stop the application manually -- perhaps using your stop script -- and then allow the Microsoft Windows "stop service" command to run (or the system to shut down, etcetera.). Thus, you will have to log in and manually stop the application if you want a clean, orderly stop. Alternatively, instead of using this technique to automate DWA startup, you could develop a traditional Windows service that would have all the capabilities of Windows services, and thus would be capable of fully automating both DWA startup and shutdown -- this technique is beyond the scope of this tech note.
Attached you will find a sample scripts showing one way to implement DWA startup scripts. These are sample batch files and cannot be run unmodified -- if you choose to base your scripts on them, you will have to make modifications to get them to work in your environment.

An equal-weight semiconductor sector exchange traded fund has been outperforming its market-capitalization-weighted counterparts as smaller companies sprint ahead of bulkier, established firms in the recent rally.
SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF (NYSEARCA:XSD) is up 26.3% over the past three months.
In comparison, the market capitalization weighted ETFs iShares PHLX SOX Semiconductor Sector (NASDAQ:SOXX) is up 20.7% over the last three months, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors (NYSEARCA:PSI) is 18.7% higher and Market Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSEARCA:SMH) added 18.9%.
XSD's market capitalization breakdown includes giants 2.4%, large 10.2%, medium 37.2%, small 39.7% and micro 10.5%.
Smaller companies tend to outperform during the initial stages of a bull market run after taking the brunt of the beating during market turns.
According to the nonprofit organization World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, the semiconductor sector will rebound this year after a slowdown in 2012 on higher sales and new computing devices, reports Agam Shah for PCWorld. The Semiconductor Industry Association, though, expects the sector to recover by next year.
Semiconductor revenue is projected to expand 4.5% for 2013 year-over-year.
"Semiconductor firms are more cyclical than other kinds of tech companies," according to Morningstar analyst Robert Goldsborough. "The sector continually faces high research-and-development expenses and capital costs for manufacturing facilities, short product cycles, and cyclical end-user demand."
IC Insights' McClean Report calculated that spending on research and development by semiconductor companies expanded 7% in 2012 while the overall sector declined 1%, ElectroIQ reports.
Given that U.S. consumers and business return to normal demand, Linx Consulting expects growth to increase at a modest pace over 2013 and average slightly less than 6% for the full year, ElectroIQ added in a separate article. The consulting firm projects recovered growth to average 7% per year by 2014 as semiconductors continue to meet the demand for flash memories and advanced foundry logic devices used in tablets and phones.

Are the Centrelink criteria for calculating adjusted taxable income for a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card the same as calculating income from superannuation that won't be counted under the age pension income test? I checked Centrelink's website with no success. It seems logical they should be similar, as both the age pension and the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card come from the same source and are targeting retired people including self-funded retirees receiving a pension from a do-it-yourself fund?
No, the definitions are quite different, says
The Commonwealth Seniors Health Card is available for self-funded retirees on low to middle incomes who have reached age pension age but do not receive Centrelink benefits. It provides reduced prices on eligible prescription medicines through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) plus some other cash concession amounts paid by the government under the seniors' supplement. To qualify for the health card you must have an annual adjusted taxable income of less than $50,000 as a single person, $80,000 as a couple or $100,000 as a couple, where you are separated due to reasons such as illness.
The age pension rules to calculate assessable income from super income streams use a formula based on your average life expectancy when a pension is started. The idea is to exempt a portion of the income on the basis that it is considered to be a return of capital. In contrast, adjusted taxable income for the health card is based on the taxable portion of income received. To this is added net investment losses, foreign income not normally taxed in Australia including fringe benefits, employer-provided fringe benefits in Australia and reportable superannuation contributions which are super contributions other than compulsory super amounts to create adjusted taxable income. As anyone entitled to the health card will be over 60, benefits from a taxed super fund (including lump sums and income stream payments) are tax-free and not included in taxable income. This means benefits received from super will not affect eligibility for the health card but may have an effect on eligibility for the age pension if income stream payments are greater than the formula calculated amount.
Using adjusted taxable income, says Biti, simplifies the application for a seniors' health card. Instead of filling in complex forms with financial details, information will be picked up from your last tax return. If your income has substantially reduced since that return you can provide evidence of current details for a more up to date assessment to be made.
The do-it-yourself super fund I manage for my wife and me is carrying about $200,000 of potential capital losses, due mainly to the global financial crisis. I'm 58 and my wife is 63 and I don't think these losses will ever be eliminated through share price gains over the next few years. However, I have investment properties in my own name – not in the super fund – which could realise capital gains of more than $200,000. Am I able to sell the loss-making shares from the DIY fund at the cost price (not market value) to myself, thus restoring value to our super and enabling me to offset my property capital gains with the capital losses from the shares when I sell these assets?
Unfortunately, the strategy you propose is not possible, says DIY super fund auditor
That said, what you are proposing is an attempt to make use of accumulated capital losses which is understandable given they can have some value. A solution that may be recommended for someone in your position is to introduce younger members to your DIY fund if this was possible. That would be suggested on the basis that if someone from the next generation joined your fund, they may be able to make use of the losses as an offset against any future capital. One of the realities of investing is that there will always be capital gains and losses over time.

Towards a child-friendly social protection system
Senior officials from several government ministries along with representatives from national and international organizations met in Tashkent to reaffirm their commitment to child protection system reform.
The International Forum on Reform within Child Social Protection concluded in Tashkent on 16 November 2006 with delegates forming a special working group to finalize the recommendations agreed by the participants which will be submitted to the Government's Cabinet of Ministers by the end of the year.
Speaking on the main areas for reform, the CEE/CIS Regional Adviser on Child Protection, Judita Reichenberg, stressed the need for de-institutionalization within the current childcare system, diversification services and decentralization of planning and resource management.
Participants in the two-day forum, which took place 15-16 November, included Uzbek Cabinet Ministers from the Ministries of Health, Public Education, Labour and Social Protection, UNICEF, the "You are not alone" Foundation and the Republican Centre for Social Adaptation of children. They were joined by several other international agencies and global experts.
A range of issues were discussed and key recommendations made included:
Also addressing the Forum, Trond Waage, UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre consultant said: "If we want to achieve success, we have to move from a controlling and excluding social protection system, to an inclusive, participatory one that is oriented towards the child."
The event was opened by the Deputy Prime Minster of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Mr Rustam Kasymov, who said the recommendations coming out of this forum should guide the future of Uzbekistan's child protection system.
The forum recognised the need to develop a series of measures aimed at improving and strengthening current systems and adapting them to international standards.
Discussions during the two-day Forum involved analysis and evaluation of existing legislation in the area of social protection of children, analysis of the types of services currently available in the sphere of child protection and how inter-sectoral relations are working. Delegates also discussed possible new approaches and alternative organizational models of the system of social protection and considered the use of international legal instruments as an aid to regulate social protection of children.

The change from PSR to IRI makes comparisons between pre-1993 pavement condition data and 1993 and later pavement condition data as published by FHWA in Highway Statistics and elsewhere more difficult. Since there is not a precise correspondence between PSR and IRI ratings, a pavement rated "good" using an estimated PSR rating might or might not also rate as "good" using a measured IRI rating. As a result, trend comparisons should be made with care.
Both PSR and IRI primarily represent ride quality or surface roughness which is just one indicator of pavement condition. Depending on which data are available, the FHWA uses estimated PSR ratings and measured IRI ratings as indicators of pavement condition for its aggregate analyses at the national level, as in the Conditions and Performance Report to Congress. Although ride quality is an important indicator for users of the system, other pavement distress information, such as cracking, rutting, and faulting, would be needed to develop overall objective measures of pavement condition and performance. States consider this broader array of factors in developing their pavement management systems and improvement programs.
The user of pavement rating data contained in Highway Statistics is advised to use care and diligence in drawing conclusions or inferences from either the PSR or M ratings so as not to either overstate or understate the true pavement condition as might be reflected by a broader array of indicators.

ZURICH (AP) FIFA says it is looking at Ireland's request for a replay against France in their disputed World Cup playoff.
Irish officials asked football's world governing body Thursday for another chance because of Thierry Henry's blatant handball in the approach to France's decisive goal.
FIFA says it has received a formal request from the Football Association of Ireland.
FIFA organizes the World Cup and must sanction any replayed match.
There is no precedent to order a match replayed because of second-guessing a referee's judgment on the field of play.
Henry controlled the ball with his hand before passing to William Gallas who scored in extra-time in Paris Wednesday. The match ended 1-1 and France advanced 2-1 on aggregate.

Bidou Jean, bidouilleur
Bidou Jean, bidouilleur is the debut novel by Quebec writer Alain Denis (born 1959), published in 2003. Originally written in French, it has not yet been translated into English. Its title could be loosely rendered as "Tink John, Tinkerer".
The novel is the story of a young boy, Bidou Jean, who lives in a rural area of Quebec that is a bid of a cultural wasteland. He grows up very much alone, as he is shunned by most of the boys his own age because his father, Bidon Jean ("Tank John", as in an empty oil drum) has been institutionalized for having psychotic episodes. Bidou Jean seeks refuge in the world of his own imagination, tinkering with language (which is the meaning of the "bidouilleur" of the title) after he steals a dictionary from his school to feeds his fascination with obscure or bizarre words. He creates a world in which his father is a hero and not a social outcast. His father has two main qualities, a gift for words and telling stories - he is a writer, a profession that Bidou's friends find laughable - and a talent for playing baseball; he was once a gifted amateur pitcher who was actively scouted by the Brooklyn Dodgers (the action takes place in the early 1970s).
The usual theme in American literature that deals with baseball is that it is a game which unites the country and facilitates integration into mainstream society, which it largely represents. For Bidou Jean, however, baseball is one more degree of separation from his peers, who, as all good Quebec boys, are obsessed with hockey; his particular affection just makes him more different. So, he plays imaginary games in his mind, with the clouds serving as his imagined diamond since the small town's actual baseball field is covered in snow, over which an outdoor hockey rink has been built. On his baseball field, a warm and sunny paradise, he is a hero.
The novel was well received by critics upon its first publication and has been reprinted in a paperback edition. It has also been taught in school programs. It is noted for its inventiveness with language in the line of another noted Quebec novelist, Réjean Ducharme, a quality that makes translation a huge challenge which no one has yet taken on.

In my continuing obsession with Oracle's(s orcl) hardware business, I took a peek at the software giant's second quarter earnings. And the hardware portion wasn't pretty.
Total hardware system revenue, including support, was unchanged year over year, at $1.3 billion; revenue from hardware products alone was down 3 percent to $714 million year over year. To be fair, Oracle execs warned of this in their first quarter call, in September. At that time, Co-president Safra Catz said that for the second quarter: "Hardware product revenue could range from negative 9 percent to positive 1 percent in constant dollars and negative 11 percent to negative 1 percent in reported dollars."
Given that context things weren't so bad. In a statement issued in advance of the earnings call Wednesday, Catz's Co-president Mark Hurd said the company's hardware business — including support — actually grew 2 percent in constant currency, a measure that strips out the impact of currency fluctuations on a company's results. Hurd also cited "double-digit revenue growth" in the various Exa-boxes (Exadata, Exalogic et al.) The SPARC SuperCluster and Oracle's Big Data Appliance upped the ante, he added, showing "triple-digit growth."
Still, it's hard to believe that anyone in Oracle's executive suite is pleased with these numbers. While Oracle always maintains that it makes good profit on the boxes it does sell, its market share continues to erode. In IDC's latest numbers — for the second calendar quarter of 2013 — Oracle server revenue was off 16 percent year over year. (Silver lining from Oracle's point of view, IBM's number was off 19.4 percent.) What may be most worrisome to all the legacy hardware guys is that the no-name white-box vendors in aggregate saw revenue soar a whopping 45.2 percent. Cisco(s csco) was also up 42.8 percent, but that's growth off a small (and new) base.
Before the naysayers jump on me for letting IBM off the hook, just remember, IBM has been in the hardware business since Hector was a pup, but Oracle opted to buy into this really tough business by plunking more than $7 billion for Sun Microsystems just a few years ago.
The white box numbers reflect that big web-scale companies are opting more for commodity, inexpensive servers as opposed to high-margin scale up servers (like Oracle's exa-boxes and HP's Moonshot servers, etc.) Granted some enterprise workloads that will flow to those scale-up servers, but it's unclear to me how much of that work there will be going forward.

Chris Young Sings Keith Whitley's "Don't Close Your Eyes" [Video]
On Friday morning, one of our WBKR Waking Crew listeners called in and requested Chris Young's version of Keith Whitley's country classic, "Don't Close Your Eyes." Naturally, because Chris Young has not released that as an official single, it was not in our broadcast system. However, I, at the caller's urging, found it on YouTube. It was just about a year ago that Chris appeared at The Grand Ole Opry and performed it. And, as you would expect, the performance was terrific. Check it out!

BOJANA Bobusic shed tears, happy ones, as she watched what she could of the ceremony and speeches at her brother Strahinja's wedding in Perth via Skype on Saturday night.
An emotional sequel was to follow at Melbourne Park on Sunday, as the little-known 25-year-old thanked those who had helped her earn a place in her second Australian Open.
When Serbian-born Bobusic upstaged boom teenager Ash Barty in the quarter-finals of the wildcard play-off, the only downside was that she knew she would be busy playing tennis on the day of her elder sibling's nuptials. But the world No. 334's reward came with a 6-1, 6-3 win over third seed Monique Adamczak in the final. Awarded a discretionary wildcard for 2012, she had just booked her spot, convincingly, for 2013.
''I've had a bit of a tough year with injuries, and the last few weeks I've had a really good training block, just worked really hard, and I'm so happy right now,'' said Bobusic, who turned professional after graduating with a sociology major from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2009, and will now be firmly in the running for wildcards into the Brisbane International and either the Sydney or Hobart tournaments the following week.
After dropping her opening service game to love, Bobusic won the next 10 in what, for the most part, was a surprisingly one-sided match. The West Australian can still improve her serve and her strength, but has a fine backhand and a high-percentage style that meant, in effect, that she simply kept the ball in play long enough to wait for an Adamczak error.
So it went until 4-0 in the second, when Adamczak clawed back to 4-3. Bobusic wobbled a little with two double-faults, only to somehow conjure consecutive aces, the second of them after a shaky let on a second serve. And after Adamczak - the 29-year-old who has fought back from a 2010 knee reconstruction and will also be high on the list of wildcard contenders - netted a final backhand, Barty's successor as play-off winner raised her arms and punched the air.
Bobusic emigrated from Belgrade to Perth with her parents - both computer engineers - and brother just before her first birthday, started playing tennis at six, then won a scholarship to Berkeley, and now trains at the National Academy in Adelaide under Rohan Fisher.
''She's unbelievable to work with, she's been to college, she's a 25-year-old who knows what she wants,'' Fisher said. ''She just goes about her business. It's her life, it's her job.''
The prize was diligent Bobusic's Open accreditation lanyard, four weeks out from the season-opening grand slam tournament where first-round losers get at least $27,000, which equates to more than a third of her career earnings so far. Last January, she drew US Open semi-finalist Angelique Kerber at her debut major and, while not uncompetitive, won just four games. She believes she will be better prepared next month.
''I didn't know what to expect coming into the Aussie Open this year, so I feel like I've gotten to know what to expect and what I need to change,'' Bobusic said, admitting her main goal for next season was just to stay healthy after struggling with foot complaint plantar fasciitis during 2012. ''I don't like to get too ahead of myself, but it's a good start to 2013 and I'm excited to see what happens next.''
She was philosophical about missing the big family occasion on Saturday, but technology meant that ''at least I was there for a bit of it''.
''[I] had a few tears, but they were happy tears,'' she said. ''There's a lot of things you sacrifice but, like any athlete will tell you, it's just part of it, and you get the rewards with it, so I can't complain.''

What do all of these world number one women's tennis players have in common with Brisbane?
They are among 600 former players, officials, business people and Brisbane residents who are asking Brisbane City Council to name part of the redeveloped Milton Tennis Centre after Queensland tennis star Wendy Turnbull.
Nicknamed 'The Rabbit' for her speed on the court, Turnbull was a singles runner-up at the 1977 US Open, the 1979 French Open, and the 1980 Australian Open.
Wendy Turnbull - who grew up at Sandgate - won four women's doubles titles and five mixed doubles titles at Grand Slam events.
During her career she was in the Women's Top 10 from 1978 to 1985 and peaked at number 3.
She captained or coached Australia's Federation Cup team from 1985 to 1993 and played on the team from 1977 until 1988.
After she retired, Wendy Turnbull was appointed to the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Olympic Committee.
Wendy Turnbull was made a member of the Order of the British Empire in 1984 and was inducted into Australia's Tennis Hall of Fame in 2009.
Brisbane City Council is now redeveloping the old Milton Tennis Centre into a park on Milton Road which includes tennis courts - the Roy Emerson Tennis Centre - and a landscaped garden.
Tennis Queensland is keen to have part of the new gardens at what will be called Frew Park on Milton Road, named after Wendy Turnbull.
Brisbane's Citizen of the Year, Peter Rasey said the "Wendy Turnbull Green" at Frew Park would bring the record of one of Queensland's best women's tennis players to a new audience.
"Brisbane has a fantastic tennis heritage, but we have never really taken advantage of it," Mr Rasey said.
"Recently, we have established the Ken Fletcher Park at Tennyson and I would like to think we can do more with this."
Businessman Stefan Ackerie has agreed to donate the large tennis raquet - that once stood on top of the old Milton Tennis Centre - to the new Roy Emerson Tennis Centre at Frew Park.
The Council has said it would consider all options for the name.
"Frew Park is under construction and names for the Green will be selected when the Park is opened," a spokesman said.
"Council will consider all names put forward for the Green and welcomes suggestions."

We gave it a B+
Oliver Stone goes on a political tour of South America, interviewing its new wave of socialist leaders in an eye-opening documentary. In earlier projects about Fidel Castro and Yasser Arafat, Stone made the political too personal, but in South of the Border he's onto something larger than the cult of personality. Yes, Stone gets cozy with Hugo Chávez, soft-pedaling the Venezuelan president's crackdown tendencies, but he also captures South America in a paradigm shift, wrenching itself free of centuries of colonial control. The film is rose-colored agitprop, but it catches a current of history. B+

Best Of :: People & Places
When it comes to people-watching, RTD passengers are spoiled. Every route offers the amateur sociologist a wide array of snooping opportunities, but Route 52 is particularly choice. This is one of the routes subcontracted out to Laidlaw, a private firm that hires non-union drivers to drive smaller-than-usual buses, and the cramped quarters are especially conducive to unfettered eavesdropping. Route 52 serves four schools -- Regis University, the University of Denver, South High School and P.S. 1 -- which gives passengers a chance to catch up on all the latest student gossip. (The P.S. 1 riders are especially loud in sharing the most graphic details of their peers' private lives.) In stark contrast to those lively youth are the moribund riders who use the bus to access care at Denver Health; it's a testament to the human spirit to see them at their worst, yet holding their own against the attitudes of impatient youth. The bickering/gossiping is the perfect soundtrack for a route that zigs and zags nonsensically from an outer-city suburb to an inner-city strip mall, and the confusion is only amplified when the driver makes a wrong turn (it happens!) and has to be shouted back on course by a bus full of anxious backseat drivers. With Route 52, RTD is more than just "the Ride"; it's a thrill-a-minute amusement-park ride.
Greg Moore, a former managing editor with the Boston Globe who was cherry-picked by owner Dean Singleton for the position of Denver Post editor, has been on the job for less than a year, but he's already done what many observers thought would be impossible: He's got people talking about a paper previously regarded as stodgy and deadly dull. The Post isn't yet the great American newspaper that Moore and Singleton envision; there's still a long way to go. But Moore's energy and drive have helped make this goal seem like an actual possibility rather than the haziest of pipe dreams. The rest is up to him.
We'll admit it: At first the Rocky Mountain News's new design hurt our eyes, and we couldn't imagine how the paper would continue to fill its "channels" -- those left-hand columns earmarked for chatty tidbits, quotes and "by the numbers" trivia. But the News adjusted some type, we adjusted our expectations -- and the channels just kept getting better and better. The most successful of all: The Stump, with notes, odd news and observations from the campaign trail.
Two days after the new leaders of the Colorado General Assembly were sworn in this session, a correction appeared in the Denver Post: "Because of a reporter's error, Diane Carman's column on the Denver and the West cover Thursday incorrectly stated that Colorado House Speaker Lola Spradley's mother was among the family members at the Capitol on Wednesday to witness her swearing in. Spradley's mother is deceased." Easy mistake, though: In her speech, Spradley had referred to her mother, who passed away three decades earlier, looking "down from above." Guess Carman thought she wound up in the cheap seats.
In January, the Rocky Mountain News ran this correction on page two: "The cover photo of today's Spotlight section shows a snowshoer rather than a cross-country skier." Bet they know the difference now.
Welcome to the city of conditional love. You know about Denver's 300 days of sunshine a year, right? But nobody ever talks about the other 65 days, which are consumed by blizzards, tornadoes, wildfires, drought and calamity. The temperature here is mild, except when it isn't. Average precipitation is moderate, all of it coming in a single dump of snow that paralyzes the city for several weeks. We are the City of Trees, but in the post-blizzard weeks we become the City of Busted Trees (also the City of 10,000 Lakes). In the summer we bake in the cruel sun, except when we're pelted by guinea pig-sized hail. Our airport is terrific, except when it sucks. And did we mention the ever-evolving convention center, the wonderful freeway improvements known fondly as "T-Rex," and our very own Colorado Rockies? No, no, the pleasure is all ours. Well, mostly.

2010 Nissan Altima Hybrid Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2010 Nissan Altima Hybrid based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Crankshaft and camshaft position sensors can leak oil into the connector causing Check Engine Light illumination. The engine may also stall as a result. Leaking sensors should be replaced.
The catalytic converter closest to the cylinder head can fail causing illumination of the Check Engine Light. Prompt repair of this problem is recommended because the catalyst material can be sucked into the engine and cause internal damage.
The electronic throttle actuator (throttle body) can fail causing a loss of power and illumination of the Check Engine Light.
The front struts can wear prematurely and develop a knocking noise when driving over bumps.
The AC system may blow warm air due to refrigerant loss caused by a leaking low pressure AC hose. These hoses commonly develop a leak at the hose crimp connection.
The engine mount on the right side can wear prematurely and cause excessive engine movement.
Screws inside the intake manifold can become loose causing internal engine damage if they fall out completely. Our technicians report that using a strong thread locker on the power valve butterfly screws can help prevent them from becoming loose.

Docket Management
Docket: 95N-0304 - Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedrine Alkaloids
Comment Number: EC -1347
Accepted - Volume 326
Comment Record
Ms. Susan Koppi
2003-04-04 14:42:11
The Endocrine Society
Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
Food and Drug Administration Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305) 5630 Fishers Lane, rm.1061 Rockville, MD 20852 RE: Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedrine Alkaloids On behalf of The Endocrine Society, I would ask that you review the following comments regarding the February 28, 2003 notice of the reopening of the comment period for the proposed rule entitled "Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedrine Alkaloids". The Endocrine Society represents over 10,000 researchers and clinicians in the field of endocrinology and is committed to the dissemination of new knowledge leading to the research, prevention, treatment, and cure of disease. Many of our members see first hand the dangers of ephedrine use and we thank you for accepting further comments on this important issue. The potential risks of ephedrine, the principle active alkaloid in ephedra, have been recognized by the FDA and the scientific community and have led to significant regulation in dosing and manufacturing practices because it is regulated as a drug. Scientific evidence is now being produced that revels similar health risks for ephedra, which is identified as a dietary supplement and subject to different regulatory standards under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). The RAND study , commissioned by the National Institutes of Health, reviewed recent evidence on the risks and benefits of ephedra and ephedrine. The study found limited evidence of an effect of ephedra on short-term weight loss, and minimal evidence of an effect on performance enhancement in certain physical activities. It also concluded that ephedra is associated with higher risks of mild to moderate side effects such as heart palpitations, psychiatric and upper gastrointestinal effects, and symptoms of autonomic hyperactivity such as tremor and insomnia, especially when it is taken with other stimulants. This study provides the most compelling data to date that the claims of ephedra manufactures (weight loss and athletic performance enhancement) are misleading. The study further concluded that use of ephedra or ephedrine and caffeine is associated with increased risk of psychiatric, autonomic, or gastrointestinal symptoms, and heart palpitations. The Endocrine Society has reviewed this study and agrees that it presents adequate evidence to support further FDA regulation on ephedra use. This study and others like it, coupled with recent high profile deaths associated with ephedra use, signal that further regulation of ephedra use is needed. To this end, The Endocrine Society supports the FDA's proposed rule regarding warning statement for dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids. This proposed warning label provides consumers with a fair assessment of the risks associated with the use of ephedrine alkaloids based on scientific data. The Endocrine Society also supports the FDA's efforts to contact ephedra manufactures to notify them that they are in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by making unsubstantiated claims on the benefits of ephedra use. Based on the current scientific data, claims of long-term weight loss and increase athletic ability cannot be supported. The Society believes that this new scientific evidence is sufficient for new restrictions for products regulated under DSHEA. DSHEA severely ties the hands of the FDA and limits the regulatory body from restricting supplements such as ephedra even in the face of solid scientific evidence. However, DSHEA allows for regulation of dietary supplements if it "presents a significant or unreasonable risk of injury". This implies that the FDA can assess whether or not a dietary supplements known or suspected risks outweigh its known or suspected benefits as applied to the claims a product makes under ordinary use. The RAND study clearly shows that ephedra use does not support the claims of its manufactures; furthermore, its use can present adverse effects. Using the benefit claim vs. suspected risks template, The Endocrine Society feels that the FDA has clear authority to pursue further restrictive actions on ephedra use in the form of warning labels and product claim restrictions. Perhaps the most important aspect to assess the risk associated with ephedra and other dietary supplements is to support further research on their effects. Given the current regulatory framework under DSHEA the burden of proof is on the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the FDA and the scientific community to prove that a dietary supplement presents a risk of illness or injury. As such, The Endocrine Society would encourage HHS to support increased research efforts and grant allotments on the effects / benefits of dietary supplements. This increase in resources and attention is needed given the fact that burden of proof for dietary supplement is for government to prove harm as opposed to drug regulation where the burden of research is on industry. Sincerely, John D. Baxter, MD President, The Endocrine Society

Senator joins Webster community in honoring Officer Mark Reed
Webster- Senator Mike Nozzolio recently joined members of the Webster community in honoring Officer Mark Reed for his recognition by Governor Andrew Cuomo as the New York State Police Officer of the Year. Officer Reed was honored for his heroic actions in saving the lives of his fellow first responders who were on the scene during the Christmas Eve ambush and fire that killed two West Webster Firefighters and seriously injured two others. The Police Officer of the Year Award was created in 1983 to recognize a single police officer, or team of officers, for an exceptional act of valor representing the service of police in New York State.
Pictured left to right are: Jim Deisenroth; Fire Chief of the West Webster Fire Department; Assemblyman Mark Johns; Ron Nesbitt; Supervisor for the Town of Webster; Gerald Pickering, Webster Police Chief; Officer Mark Reed; Lieutenant Governor Bob Duffy; and Senator Mike Nozzolio.

In contrary, Wendy Williams struggles with her foxtrot which only earns 15 as judge Len Goodman says, 'It was a dance more suited to the radio.'
"Dancing with the Stars" enters the third week and some have shown progress. Hines Ward, who got 23 in the second week, gets positive reviews from the judges for his samba. Len Goodman exclaims, "Your mother's proud of you, and I'll tell you what, I'm proud of you," and Carrie Ann Inaba says, "You're dancing the samba, like you've been dancing your whole life." He earns 25 out of 30.
Petra Nemcova also wows the judges with her waltz. Bruno Toli gushes, "You are like a vision from heaven, and you danced like an angel." Len says, "It had grace, it had elegance, it had fluid movement. This is my favorite season! For me, at this moment, you're the one. That was brilliant!"
Kirstie Alley and Ralph Macchio, who have been talks of the town in previous weeks, earn 21 each for their rumba. Len thinks the dancing partner of Maksim Chmerkovskiy "overcame it," while Carrie calls what Ralph does is "a very sweet rumba." Another contestant who dances rumba, Chris Jericho, also scores 21.
Chelsea Staub, who recently changed her name into Chelsea Kane, and Kendra Wilkinson do well, too, earning 23 each. The former dances cha-cha-cha with Mark Ballas which Len thinks is her "best dance" so far. Bruno and Carrie love it as well, but Carrie gives her advice to "work a little bit more on your hip action..." Kendra shows an improvement with rumba, which Carrie says, "Hot, hot, hot."
Lil' Romeo and Sugar Ray Leonard score 20 each. Though Romeo's leg placement is not quite right, the judges respect they way he puts his "heart and soul into" his rumba. Sugar Ray who dances paso doble receives similar comments as Len says, "You've come out tonight stronger, and you've fought back."
Meanwhile, Wendy Williams is likely to face the bottom three again. Her foxtrot with Tony Dovolani only scores 15. Len says, "You must have worked extremely hard, but, to be honest, it was a struggle. It was a dance more suited to the radio." Carrie adds, "I do feel that this week we took a little step backwards and I don't know why."
One contestant will be eliminated during the result show aired on Tuesday, April 5.

The career of Miami offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson has hit another speed bump.
Henderson was suspended for the opening weekend of spring practice for a violation of team rules.
The All-USA offensive player of the year in 2009 will return for practice Tuesday, but it is clear Hurricanes coach Al Golden was not happy having to discipline the junior along with linebacker Kelvin Cain and cornerback Keion Payn.
"I think it's disappointing for the team, to be honest with you," Golden said. "You can't just weed all the time. If you weed all the time, if you're just constantly weeding, that's the problem. When you're trying to improve the program and move the program forward, you can't just weed your garden, you've got to water your garden, too."
After a freshman season in which he started nine games, Henderson was suspended for the season opener last year and then missed three other games due to offseason back surgery.
He ended up starting two games, but has been far from the dominant lineman expected when he enrolled with the Hurricanes after being one of the nation's top recruits.
Golden appeared frustrated by the latest incident as he tries to build on a 6-6 season with his team facing an uncertain future due to a pending NCAA investigation into players receiving impermissible benefits.
"And so we're sitting here saying to the guys, 'That is an incredible offseason,' and 'Great job,' and then the next day you've got to weed the garden again. It's like, after a while, you stop using the weed whacker and you get a shovel and get the whole root. That's kind of where we're at."

For press inquiries or to schedule an interview with the Attorney General please contact:

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced that a Lake Oswego mail order company, advertising "hard-to-find" compact discs (CDs) on the Internet, is out-of-business in Oregon for alleged violations of the state consumer protection laws. Named in an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance filed today in Marion County Circuit Court is Sound City 2000 and its owner Linda Simmons.
"Customers throughout the United States and Europe used the convenience of the Internet to order CDs from Oregon only to find the bad service outweighed the ease of ordering, " Myers said. "Consumers should not assume that a business is honest or reliable simply because it sells over the Internet and should always check out its marketplace history before ordering product."
Department of Justice investigators received 50 complaints against the company alleging that they paid for CDs and never received them, and that it took months to receive requested refunds. Consumers also complained of early crediting of their credit cards only to wait for months for the goods or refunds. Justice and the Federal Trade Commission shared information during the investigation.
Under the agreement, Simmons will permanently cease doing business in the retail music industry in Oregon and will provide restitution to all consumers who submitted complaints to Justice. Simmons also has deposited $1,000 in an attorney's trust account for payment of future restitution.
The Department of Justice had prior dealings with Simmons and her husband, Ladislav Hanousek, who as president of Sound City USA signed an AVC in 1990 agreeing not to sell counterfeit, bootlegged or pirated merchandise.
Consumers wanting information on shopping on the Internet may call the Attorney General's consumer hotline at (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only), (503) 229-5576 (Portland area only) or toll-free at 1-877-877-9392. Justice is online at www.doj.state.or.us.

It's more than a century old, it began across the country, and it seems that whenever the Giants and Dodgers meet on a baseball diamond, it's always special.
These longtime National League rivals began their blood feud in New York City when they played at the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field, but their paths crossed this past weekend at Dodger Stadium, with the Dodgers winning two of three after Sunday's 2-1 win.
In dramatic fashion, the irrepressible Manny Ramirez unloaded a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the eighth inning. Pinch-hitter Garret Anderson walked, and Blake DeWitt ran for Anderson, a one-time Angel.
Ramirez's blast tied him with Mike Schmidt, the slugging third baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies with 548.
Reliever Ramon Troncoso picked up the victory, and closer Jonathan Broxton notched his first save.
San Francisco is now 8-4, and the Dodgers are 6-6. Though the season is young, the early outlook appears that the NL West will be a dogfight between the Dodgers and Giants, with the Colorado Rockies having something to say before it's over.
The Giants' only win occurred Saturday, 9-0, behind pitcher Tim Lincecum, who was stellar on the mound and in the batter's box, collecting three hits and driving in three.
An ace of the staff, Lincecum showed why, as he limited the Dodgers to four hits and no runs over six innings, while striking out seven and walking two.
A two-time Cy Young award winner, Lincecum (3-0) lowered his earned-run average to 0.90, and fanned two batters in the first, fourth and fifth innings.
The Giants took a 1-0 lead in the second when Lincecum pushed down a run-scoring bunt that brought in Bengie Molina.
In the third, Lincecum laced a two-run single to right-center that was part of a four-run frame. Lincecum also had a base hit to left in the fifth inning.
San Francisco moved ahead 7-0 in the fourth when Molina singled in Pablo Sandoval, who doubled to left.
The Giants added two more runs in the seventh when Eugenio Velez, who had three hits on Saturday, and who smashed a three-run homer the night before, delivered an RBI double.
On Friday night, the Dodgers pounded out a 12-hit attack against three San Francisco hurlers, and held on for a 10-8 win, with Matt Kemp ripping his fourth straight homer, a two-run shot in the first inning.
Andre Ethier then lined a solo homer to right field in the same inning that gave the Dodgers a 3-0 edge. Ethier wasn't done, this time drilling a grand slam to center field in the second that made it 7-0.
Pitcher Vicente Padilla (1-1) worked seven effective innings, allowing three runs (all earned), along with four hits, seven strikeouts and three walks. Padilla had two previous outings, and failed to impress.
Not this time, because after three frames, Padilla fanned five and was in total control. He ran into some trouble in the fifth inning, when he surrendered a two-run single to Juan Uribe, and Sandoval crushed a solo homer to left-center in the sixth inning.
DeWitt added an RBI single in the seventh to make it 10-3, before the Giants exploded for a five-run ninth inning off Troncoso, and the just-released Russ Ortiz.
This was merely an appetizer. There's a lot more to come.

POLICE are asking victims of crime to launch their own investigations and are not attending some incidents at all, a report has found.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is also sending PCSOs out to investigate crimes on their own, with Her Majesty's Inspectorate Constabulary (HMIC) questioning whether they have the skills required.
HMIC wrote to GMP with their findings after assessing how all 43 police forces in the UK are preventing and investigating crime, and freeing up police resources.
Chief constable Sir Peter Fahy described the force's PCSOs as a "vital" part of policing and stressed that HMIC has rated GMP's plans to deal with cuts as "outstanding".
The letter states: "During the inspection, HMIC reviewed a number of crime investigations, including reports of crimes that were not attended.
"In certain cases, for crimes such as burglary dwellings, there was clear evidence of investigation and supervision.
"However, for other offences, such as theft from a motor vehicle, many of which were not attended, some cases were found to have little evidence of meaningful investigation or supervision.
"HMIC identified some examples of victims calling to report crimes and being asked to conduct local enquiries in relation to their own crimes in lieu of a police officer attending."
The letter also remarks on the number of vacancies in the force's call handling team, which stood at 23 when the inspection was carried out, and how the force was unable to provide a figure for the number of suspects waiting to be dealt with.
Sir Peter Fahy said: "Staff in the call centre and control room can access the history of an address and frequently do so to tell officers that we have been there before.
"They can also access on our secure system intelligence on any address or individual.
"PCSOs are a vital part of neighbourhood policing and we now have PCSOs who have served for ten years and we use them in line with their skills and experience as part of the neighbourhood policing team.
"In fact, we have many PCSOs who want to do more things and we are reviewing whether there are more things they can do as the overall number of staff reduces.
"I would also stress that the HMIC recently rated our plans to cope with budget reduction as outstanding."
Roger Baker, who led the inspection, said: "Police forces have done a good job in tackling crime and anti-social behaviour, leading to long-term reductions over the last ten years.
"However, we were concerned to find that a member of the public will receive a different response from the police for the same type of crime or incident, depending on where they live; this sort of postcode lottery has to stop and a consistent approach applied across England and Wales."
