Is Microsoft playing tricks in MS Outlook or IE?
If I send text from Outlook Express to my exchange
account, with charset set to iso-8859-1 but containing
the Trademark symbol ((tm)) in the body, it shows up
okay. The body of the message is in text/html.
Is it possible that MS Outlook's HTML ActiveX control
(which I'm assuming to be the same used for IE) is
defaulting to Cp1252/Windows-1252 when it sees iso-8859-1?
BTW, The body also contains the Euro!

A MAN from Brookend in Berkeley has written a book on local cricket history between 1890 and 1990.
Cricket mad Ken Coughlin spent over three years doing research to compile A Century in the Vale, which covers 12 clubs between the River Severn and the M5. As well as looking back over old scorecards Coughlin has spoken to several former players to get their stories.
"It's social history as much as a log of old cricket results," said Coughlin, who has sold over 100 copies already.
Of the clubs that Coughlin studied, only Tortworth, Oldands and Stone still exist with Newport, Sharpness, Purton, Brookend, Severn Mills, CEGB/NSSC, Falfied and Berkeley all folding, and Coughlin made some interesting findings. "I think league cricket has taken away some of the old camaraderie," he said.
"To maintain a decent standard is very expensive and that's why a lot of clubs have folded. "The social fabric structure of villages has collapsed.
"I remember the days when there were no pavilion or showers, the nearest tree was the toilet and some of the pitches were frightening to play on.
"The equipment is better now and the grassroots have changed. The clubs didn't bring the youngsters on – the schools would do it. "The clubs that have survived have a progressive structure. "The other clubs that have disappeared didn't have continuity and didn't bring the youth on."
Coughlin, 73, described himself as a 'mediocre' cricketer, who played for Dursley Grammar School seconds before joining Brookend.
After a long break from playing, when he watched England play all over the world, Coughlin returned to local cricket at 56-years-old with Berkeley and Stone.
He now plays the odd t20 game at Oldlands on Friday nights for Brookend Badgers. "We've got two or three good youngsters but they haven't got the time to join a proper cricket club," said Coughlin.
The book is available for £12.50 from Bailey's newsagents in Berkeley or by calling Ken on 01453 810657.

Minutes of Telephone Conference, October 12, 2010 - MenHibrix
|12 October 2010
|STN 125363 FDA Regulatory File
|David C. Staten, Jr., MPH, CDR, USPHS
BLA Regulatory Project Manager
Joseph Temenak, Ph.D., CDR, USPHS
|Record of FDA and GlaxoSmithKline October 6, 2010 Telephone Conference
|Item 67 (c, d, and e) Complete Response Letter
Jennifer Bridgewater
Nancy Cauwenberghs, Director, Technical Regulatory Unit
This telephone conference was requested by GSK to discuss their response to Item 67 from the June 11, 2010 FDA Complete Response letter. GSK specifically wanted to discuss the request for the addition of free HIB, MenC, and MenY free polysaccharide content on the MenHibrix final container vaccine. GSK proposed to replace the requested –b(4)-- assay with a (b)(4) by --------(b)(4)----------. As presented in their PowerPoint presentation, GSK would like to use this assay for the following reason;
- The free-PS content test by (b)(4) is not accurate for polysaccharides of -(b)(4)-.
- Free-PS content by ---------(b)(4)--------- has been developed to replace free-PS content test by (b)(4) on the three monovalent (b)(4) conjugates, Hib-TT, PSC-TT, and PSY-TT.
- The presence of sucrose --(b)(4)-- in the final container interferes with the PS quantification by --------(b)(4)----------.
- Free-PS content tests are not enough specific/sensitive/accurate/robust to be implemented on MenHibrix final container.
GSK showed data that --------(b)(4)---------- in final product was able to detect degraded conjugates. GSK confirmed that degraded conjugates were not tested in clinical trails.
FDA stated that there are two approved products that currently have a free PS content assay on the final container. GSK explained that MenHibrix is different from these products because MenHibrix is lyophilized and the conjugates are –b(4)---- polysaccharides. FDA suggested more exploration of techniques, for example, --------------(b)(4)---------------- .
Restating the points above, GSK stated that a valid free-PS content assay can not be used. Instead, GSK wants to implement a --------------(b)(4)---------- ---- for the final container. GSK asked if FDA concurs with this proposal. FDA stated that the agency has insufficient data to make any decision regarding this change in ---(b)(4)--- for the final container. GSK stated that additional justifications as to why they prefer the --------(b)(4)---------- method will be submitted. These data will be submitted in the CR

Welcome to the School of Education and Human Development, a division of the College of Management and Human Service. We offer seven degrees with over 30 different program options, in the fields of education and human development at the certificate, master's, certificate of advanced study, and doctoral levels.
The School is firmly grounded on a rich history that dates back to the Gorham Normal School, established by the state of Maine in 1878 to educate teachers and establish teaching norms. Today, the School of Education and Human Development has a mission of preparing educators and human development professionals for responsible service that is as relevant to society today as it was more than a century ago.
Accredited academic programs . . . The School is organized in two academic departments: 1) Counseling, Adult and Higher Education, and Educational Leadership, and 2) Teaching and Learning (Educational Psychology and School Psychology, ETEP, Literacy, Language and Culture, Special Education, and Teacher Education).
Programs meet the highest standards set by the State of Maine and professional accrediting bodies. The School continually assesses Maine's and the region's priority needs. The graduate certificate in Culturally Responsive Practices and the Doctor of Psychology Program (PsyD) in School Psychology, the only program of its type in northern New England, are two examples of how the College proactively responds.
Esteemed faculty . . . The School offers comprehensive programs that are delivered by distinguished faculty who have a collective level of knowledge and experience unequalled by other southern Maine colleges and universities. In the interest of educating well-rounded professionals, faculty innovate and create unique programs, such as the dual certification options that lead to teacher certification in both a content area and special education.
Faculty also engage in relevant research and scholarship as well as public service that accrue distinction to the University, improve the quality of life in Maine and beyond, and enrich the academic experience for students. In addition, many bring significant practical experience to the classroom.
Talented Students and distinguished alumni . . . The School enrolls approximately 600 students each semester. Upon graduation, they join a community of nearly 10,000 living alumni, who make important contributions to the education and human-resource fields in Maine, across the nation, and in 20 countries around the world. USM alumni hold some of the highest positions in schools and districts, government, and related organizations. Many are honored by students and peers with nominations for prestigious awards and recognitions.
Lifelong Learning . . . The School's Professional Development Center (PDC) offers over 100 academic courses, workshops and conferences to educators and human resource professionals seeking academic and continuing-education credit.
Home to research centers that serve Maine's public-policy needs . . . The Center for Education Policy, Applied Research, and Evaluation (CEPARE) provides assistance to school districts, public agencies, and non-profit organizations through research, evaluation, and policy studies.
In partnership with the education community . . . The Southern Maine Partnership is a USM-school collaboration that includes 36 Maine school districts and two private schools. It works to promote equitable, academically rigorous, and personalized public education to prepare students for learning, work, and citizenship.

Richard L. Miller, Department of Transportation designer, Scout leader
Dec. 29, 1946 – Jan. 2, 2014
Richard L. Miller, a designer for the New York State Department of Transportation for 41 years, died Thursday in Harris Hill Nursing Facility, Lancaster. He was 67.
Mr. Miller was a lifelong Buffalo resident who graduated from School 68, Kensington High School and the University at Buffalo, where he earned a degree in civil engineering in 1969.
He started that year with the DOT in its signs and signals department before moving into highway design. He retired in 2010.
Mr. Miller's work with the DOT was interrupted by three years in the Coast Guard from 1971-74, when he was stationed on Governor's Island in New York Harbor.
He was an active Boy Scout and Cub Scout leader for three decades, working with Cub Scout packs 50 and 194, and Boy Scout Troops 28 and 194. He served and the commissioner's staff and the training staff for the scout district, and received Scouting's Silver Beaver Award and membership in the Order of the Arrow.
He returned to college for a degree in cultural anthropology in 1980, when he was also president of the honor society of the night school division of Millard Fillmore College.
Mr. Miller is survived by his wife of 44 years, the former Susan Cotton; a daughter, Jenniffer A.; two sons, Richard II and Bryan M.; four sisters, Carol, Karen Walters, Jacqueline Bickelman and Diane Leising; and three grandchildren.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. Monday in Vandercher & Dick Funeral Home, 2549 Main St., Buffalo.

Word of Mouth: Berlin
The owner of a nouveau salon shares her top spots to visit
A combination art gallery and hair salon, L'atelier Friseur is the brainchild of French hairstylist Julie Monin, who moved to Berlin five years ago from London. Three years ago, noticing a lack of distinct stylists in Berlin, Monin chose to open up a salon of her own in Kreuzberg, a neighborhood formerly overrun by cheap chop shops but she describes now as "really special." "People here may not have a lot of money, but they come here because they feel free," she adds.
Every three months Monin invites an artist to take over the salon's interior walls and paint or decorate it however they want, which is marked by a party with performances by some of Berlin's best electronic artists. As an international stylist fully immersed in the local arts scene, we had to ask Monin for her top city picks. Next time you're in Berlin, here's what she says not to miss.
Nea and Steffen run this coffee shop and café in Mitte. Try the great sandwiches made by Steffen, who takes care of all the food and always uses top notch ingredients. Nea, who's Brazilian, gives off a contagious energy and good mood that's just what you need in the morning to get your day started.
You'd never find this little bakery unless you were looking for it. Owners Claudio and Cora brew some of the best coffee in Kreuzberg. Have lunch or an early dinner and try their excellent paninis and italian charcuteries, pasta, salsa and wine. They can also do kitchen courses for groups.
Motto Berlin
I get all the books for the salon from Alexis, a French guy who owns this well curated arts book and magazine store just across the street from L'atelier Friseur.
Archive Kabinett
A strange and lovely artsy bookstore that hosts events and exhibitions and gives a student discount. They are both a book seller and publisher of artists' books, monographs and three magazines, Archive Journal, The Exhibitionist, and No Order, Art in a Post-Fordist Society.
Stephan, who also runs the Weltempfänger Café, is the owner of this all-in-one Alexanderplatz destination. When I don't know what to do or where to go, I go to HBC because I'm sure to find friends, good food, interesting, crazy music or exhibitions. There's always something happening for all tastes.
Vai Mo
Run by a small Italian family, this is Italian food like your grandmother makes it—if you have an Italian grandmother, that is. If you don't, come to Vai Mo for la cucina della mama, an authentic meal like you don't see in many other restaurants.
Saveur Champagne
Saveur Champagne is my absolute favorite! The owner not only offers a great selection of wines, but he sells cheese and charcuterie, too. Come on Saturday or Sunday for the shops' weekend food market where you can pick up a wider selection of delicacies to snack on while you sip your wine.
A Loja
A fun concept shop in the heart of Kreuzberg, A Loja fuses fashion, art and design. This is a great place to pick up something unique from a young new designer your friends back home will have never heard of.
When you go gallery hopping be sure to check out Appel Design, the best design gallery in the city. Then head to L'atelier Kunst Spiel Raum for conceptual art and work in progress. Galerie Thomas Fischer is a small, smart gallery with great shows and an ideal location.

James Harrison won't bring double-digit sacks to the Cincinnati Bengals. He won't bring a familiarity with a 4-3 defense like Karlos Dansby would.
So what can Who Dey Nation expect from the ex-Steelers outside linebacker? A whole lot of attitude.
It's easy to pick apart this addition and why the Bengals should have chosen Dansby as their strong-side linebacker, from Harrison's declining sack total (six last season) to an increasing number of injuries (seven games missed due to injuries the past two seasons) to his age (he turns 35 next month). But I would like to watch someone relay this criticism to Harrison's face.
What you can't argue with is the intangibles of this deal. As everyone who has ever watched him play one down knows, Harrison is mean, tough and plain nasty. He's more than just old. He's old school. I can tell you the person who hates this deal the most is Ben Roethlisberger. He's the last person who wants to see Harrison's steely-eyed stare from across the line of scrimmage.
The Bengals have one of the better defenses in the NFL, ranking No. 6 last season. The lineup is filled with young and talented players such as Geno Atkins, Leon Hall, Michael Johnson, Carlos Dunlap and Vontaze Burfict. The Bengals didn't need a Pro Bowl linebacker. Remember, Harrison is replacing underachieving Manny Lawson, not Aldon Smith.
What the Bengals never had on defense was an edge, or at least I never sensed one. That won't be the case now with Harrison, who is carrying a chip on his shoulder as large as a Primanti Brothers sandwich (or whatever the Cincinnati equivalent would be). Harrison carries grudges. Just ask the Baltimore Ravens, who once cut Harrison and got some of his best efforts each season.
The same goes for the Steelers and Ravens this year. Harrison was cut by the Steelers after refusing to take a pay cut, and then watched the Ravens sign Elvis Dumervil while he was at the Ravens team facility. I'm quite sure Harrison will be motivated when playing those two prime-time games against Pittsburgh and those two matchups with the defending Super Bowl champions. Perhaps the Bengals will get flashes of the Harrison of old, the one who from 2007 to 2011 went to the Pro Bowl five times and was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2008.
"He hates the Steelers now, and that's somebody we need on our side," Dunlap told the Cincinnati Enquirer earlier this week.
There is a risk involved in adding Harrison. He has never played in a 4-3 defense and he has been on the field for 77 percent of his team's defensive snaps since the start of the 2011 season, which ranks 56th among linebackers over that span, according to ESPN Stats & Information. In 2012, Harrison finished outside the top five in sacks as an outside linebacker for the first time in the past five seasons (he was tied for 17th). There's a reason Harrison didn't draw much interest in free agency and only had serious talks with the Bengals and Ravens this offseason.
Because of those points, this may not be a popular choice among the Bengals fan base. In a recent SportsNation poll, 48 percent of voters thought the Bengals should have went with Dansby, while only 25 percent picked Harrison. Dansby is three years younger than Harrison and has experience in a 4-3 defense.
The difference with Harrison is he comes with a mean streak and swagger than Dansby doesn't have. I'm not saying Harrison is the missing piece in the Bengals' championship puzzle. But he will make them better for at least this year, when he is intent on proving to everyone that he can still make an impact. I like this move. Or maybe I just don't want to tick off Harrison and become Target No. 2 behind Roethlisberger.

Motivated by his love of birds, and love of his granddaughter Grace, Dick Murphy had an idea. By the end of winter 2011, after many hours of measuring, sawing and hammering in his basement, Grandpa Murphy had made over 200 birdhouses ready to go to new homes. To get one, all you had to do was make a donation, any donation, to Lily's Fund.
The birdhouses were available in April 2012 at his house. All money went to support epilepsy research at the UW-Madison, benefitting people who live with epilepsy, like Grace and Lily.
Many of us now own these wonderful wren houses and watched a season of wrens call them home this past summer. It's amazing what one person can do. Thank you Grandpa Murphy!

Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Mr Fluffy Head is a big, beautiful goofball. He'll flop his fluffy self down just about anywhere to make sure his tubby tummy gets a rub. He's a major purr machine – once you get him going it's almost deafening. Some of his favourite activities are watching birds out the window, attacking his brother Precious, and monopolizing heat sources (e.g., your lap or heater).
Mr. Fluffy Head and Precious are full of fun and curiosity. They are happy around babies and children and have even taken a liking to our dog (who loves to kitten sit!). They play around much of the day and love to curl up together at night to sleep on their little pillow. These two will make wonderful pets.
Again, if you are interested in viewing or adopting these kitties, please go to www.orphankittenrescue.com/adopt
Mr. Fluffy Head, a Vancouver Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Vancouver, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Vancouver.

March 30 - The Super 15 Rugby Stormers vs. Bulls encounter is scheduled
for Saturday March 31 with the kick off at 7:10 South African time. It will be
played at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town, which is the home venue of the
Click to Bet
The South African Conference of the 2012 Super 15 Rugby is interestingly
poised. The starting favourites, the Stormers, are at the top of the table with
20 points having won all their games. The Bulls have sprung a surprise. They
were rated in third place before the Super 15 Rugby began, but are now in the
second spot.
Though they have lost one match, the Bulls have earned three bonus
points and are breathing down the necks of the Stormers with 19 points.
Therefore the upcoming Stormers vs. Bulls match has added interest for South
African punters and rugby fans.
As is the practice before such important fixtures, the supporters and the
media highlight non-sporting issues. Many of the Stormers fans in Cape Town have
begun to make fun of the new pink outfit that the Bulls have adopted for their
away games.
Fortunately the Stormers captain Jean de Villiers has displayed a mature
response to the issue. He said, �We are all proud of the jerseys and the colours
we play for, but in the end it is about the team you represent, not what you
wear.� He added the important thing is what the jersey represents and not its
colour and therefore what the Bulls wear is irrelevant to the contest.
The mind games extend to sporting issues as well. The Stormers coach Allister
Coetzee said that the Bulls are predictable and incapable of springing a
surprise. �I have seen how the Bulls have been playing for years now and I can�t
see that they will change their style.�
He added that although the Bulls are good, his team has answers to all their
moves. But a part of the truth is that the Stormers have won their matches with
the narrowest of margins, while the Bulls enter Saturday�s Super 15 Rugby game
having made mincemeat of the defending champions. And this will definitely play
on the minds of the Stormers.
The online betting site
Sportingbet SA has opened markets for this important
South African Conference Super 15 Rugby Stormers vs. Bulls game. The Stormers
are overwhelming favourites with odds of 4/7. The odds for a Bulls win at
Sportingbet online are 7/4. The odds for a draw are 14/1. The other markets

Insurance law covers the policies insurance companies offer and the rates they charge. Personal insurance standards include auto insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. Business insurance standards usually include commercial liability insurance, errors and omissions insurance, malpractice insurance, and business interruption insurance. Each of these policies covers losses from different types of risk, and both the losses and the risks are carefully defined. It can take an insurance lawyer just to determine if your loss resulted from a risk you were insured for. Sometimes insurance companies deny claims, acting in what is legally called "bad faith." Insurance lawyers can determine if your insurer is treating you fairly and sue for you if the company is acting in bad faith.

Rome Man Injured In Accidental Shooting
State Police say a Rome man has been accidentally shot while hunting in a wooded area near Boonville.
20 year old Marc Donahue was attempting to attach his rifle to a rope in order to hoist it up to a tree stand. The rope was hanging about six feet off the ground, and when Donahue reached up and started to attach the rifle to the rope, one round was discharged into his leg.
The rifle was loaded with four rounds and he did not have the safety mechanism on at the time of the incident.
Donahue was transported by Mercy Flight to Upstate Hospital in Syracuse where he's listed in stable condition.

Elisha Cuthbert uses body doubles
Sad news, everybody. Elisha Cuthbert uses body doubles for her nude scenes. Although, I shouldn't judge, I use one in the bedroom. (Ladies?) Seen here posing for the latest issue of Complex, Elisha talks about picking out naked chicks that best exemplify her body of work:
You don't do nudity but instead employ body doubles. What's the process in selecting someone?
Elisha Cuthbert: I've only had to do it twice. To be honest, it was really quick and pretty basic. I saw three girls and chose one out of the three. It wasn't a long, drawn-out process. It's not looking for someone [with] the perfect breasts. Nothing to do with that, really. I think it's trying to find someone that looks natural, someone that looks good.
You mean someone who acts natural in front of a camera or someone, y'know, natural?
Elisha Cuthbert: You never see their face, right?
Anyone else imagining Elisha Cuthbert examining three topless girls' breasts? Uh, yeah, me neither. I was just sitting here thinking about how much I love to marry and respect women first before getting intimate. Which, obviously, explains why I have no pants on. A ha ha ha don't look at me.
Thanks to Joe who once doubled for Hugh Jackman – until the cops showed up.

Newtown and a Jewish Reflection on Gun Control
December 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment
It was only a few weeks after my family and I moved to Denver to assume the position of senior rabbi at a synagogue just a few miles from Aurora that the horrific massacre at the movie theater occurred. Our television screens and laptops were inundated with the life stories of the victims and the images of so much grief and destruction. I wrote an article back then for The Denver Post calling on all people of faith and good conscience to affirm the sacredness of all life as a response to the … [Read more...]

How can a sport that everyone knows remain so well hidden?
Table tennis is played by more people than soccer, its advocates insist. And even if their count includes those who haven't picked up a racquet since childhood, the game more commonly known as ping pong has developed a cachet among Hollywood celebrities, U.S. billionaires and the always influential Chinese government.
But except for rare moments when a miraculous behind-the-back shot finds its way onto TV highlight reels, the high-level version of this lightning-quick sport is still waiting to be discovered by most Canadians.
"Table tennis doesn't have much of a following here," said Pierre-Luc Thériault, a top-ranked lefthander from Saint-Fabien, Que., who went off to Europe to train when he was 15.
He appears to be right: Over the weekend, just a few hundred devotees attended an elite national competition in Mississauga called the Canada Series Finals. And most were players and family members, despite the free admission.
"People just don't know the game," Mr. Thériault, 19, said. "If they'd just see it, they'd find it fun. But instead they think it's this basement game."
Dejan Papic, executive director of the Ontario Table Tennis Association, said the sport's biggest challenge is that it is hard to grasp, at least initially. "When you're watching for the first time, you don't know what a player did that's so good. Other sports, like basketball, you can enjoy them from the start. But with table tennis, you have to learn to enjoy it."
The pleasure comes more easily on YouTube, where a spectacular rally can be isolated, slowed down and replayed from every angle until even a novice viewer can appreciate the game's unique combination of speed, agility, deviousness, power and controlled touch – all of it playing out in a tight space not much bigger than, well, a suburban rec room.
But for a newcomer watching the Canada Series Finals in real time, the points are won before there's time to appreciate the unbalancing effect of a backspin serve or spot the deceptiveness in a player who moves his opponent to a vulnerable position with just a hint of body language.
Instead, all you see at first glance is an impressive rapid-fire exchange that leaves one player fist-pumping with a sudden shout and the other fetching the elusive rolling ball just as kids used to do in the cluttered-rec-room version of the game.
Few sports are so successful at connecting the memories of the ungifted spectator with the talent on display; it's as if arena hockey could be miniaturized to a backyard rink without a sacrifice of skill. And the homey surroundings of the competition venue, the My Table Tennis Club, add to the game's down-to-earth status. Between noisy hour-long matches on one of the facility's six courts – each big enough to let an attacker back up his lobbing defensive opponent some 10 metres – players spend their down time at the small in-house snack bar, where their personalized Styrofoam containers of fried rice and barbecue from a local Chinese food court lie waiting on shared café tables just a forehand smash away from the courts.
But make no mistake, the rising stars at the Canada Series Final say, this is a highly demanding pursuit that shouldn't be diminished by well-meant nostalgia.
"A lot of people think this is just a basement sport, but that's completely false," said 16-year-old Anqi Luo, a top-seeded female player who just returned from a podium finish at a tournament in Sweden to win the women's championship on Sunday. "The mental game takes up a big part of the match, and you need to have a really good feeling of the ball. Every point has to be precise and you can't relax – if you relax for one point or a few points, you lose your whole game."
That intensity is characteristic of all the top players assembled at the Canada Series Finals, even 12-year-old Jeremy Hazin who unexpectedly played his way into the final 12 of the men's competition and finished a strong 5th. "It's hard, the co-relation between table tennis and homework," the poised Grade 7 student said. He trains seven days a week between school assignments, combining individual and group training at the table with three weekly sessions focused on his leg muscles (in the limited confines of a high-speed match, foot speed and quick pivoting are essential both for court coverage).
In a game that doesn't discriminate against the compact athlete, Jeremy still stands apart for his small stature. Yet he managed to beat bigger and older opponents thanks to his training regimen and analytical skills. "When I see a new guy come in, I can pick up on their tactics and their weaknesses," he said with complete confidence. "My technique is good, and my strokes are more consistent than theirs. They have more power, obviously, but I get the ball on the table more so I can overcome them in a rally."
Table tennis is physical enough that players are soaked in sweat after an hour-long match. "If you're into the game, you won't think it's tiring," Ms. Luo said. "But after you finish a match, you'll be exhausted."
The mental aspect of the game, however, is what differentiates the top players in a sport where the ball can move too fast – up to 140 km/hr – for the human body to react.
Intelligence is hard to perceive in such a fast sport – you mostly recognize it by its successful result. But the best players show a command of both body and mind that makes them look almost effortless.
"When you play well, you feel smooth," Mr. Thériault said. "When you're relaxed, you have more feeling for the ball, a better touch, you can hit the ball faster – it's relax, accelerate, then relax."
Scientists who study top table-tennis players have discovered that they respond to shots quite differently from the basement-level player. While a rec-room pongiste belatedly reacts to the movement of the ball, a skilled player anticipates a shot by scanning for fine visual cues such as his opponent's wrist position.
Much like a baseball hitter who improbably begins his swing before a pitcher releases the ball, a table-tennis player figures out a likely flight path and starts a weight shift into an efficient return point before his opponent has made contact. All that's left in the split second it takes for the ball to arrive is to prepare the fine detail of the return, the flick of the arm and wrist that imparts length and spin to the power element of the stroke.
It's no wonder, then, that when 18-year-old Hongtao Chen is asked why he likes table tennis ahead of more conventional team sports, he replies: "Because you're always thinking. If I win, that means I've controlled the game, and maybe I'm smarter."
Mr. Chen, who came to Canada from China two years ago, was in control on Sunday. He won the men's finals handily.Report Typo/Error

The influence and contribution of adult males are of paramount importance to the holistic development and aspirations of the family unit and society in general, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said in her Father's Day message.
Persad-Bissessar said the commitment to and practise of responsible actions by the father figure one crucial elements of success in the realisation of a young ward's personal development. `"The father should be a mentor, protector, and a harbinger of peace both inside and outside the home. His good example is essential to the well-being of the family and, by extension, the entire community. It is not enough to give advice to a younger person when our actions do not reflect our words.

WASHINGTON – Up to half of the terrorism suspects held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay could be closer to heading home under a bipartisan deal reached in Congress that gives President Barack Obama a rare victory in his fight to close the prison in Cuba.
The deal would lift the most rigid restrictions that Congress imposed on detainee transfers overseas and is part of a broad compromise defense bill awaiting final passage in the Senate this week.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin said the compromise could have a dramatic impact on the 160 detainees still being held at Guantanamo Bay. "About half of the detainees would be detainees that could be transferred to their Third World countries from which they come," Levin told reporters. "About half of the detainees would remain in Guantanamo because of the prohibition on transferring them to the United States for detention and for trial."
The government announced Wednesday it had transferred two Sudanese detainees from Guantanamo to their home country, its second release this week. Noor Uthman Muhammed, 51, and Ibrahim Othman Ibrahim Idris, 52, were the last Sudanese prisoners at the naval base.
They were both considered by the U.S. military to be members of al-Qaida. Idris was among the first detainees to arrive at Guantanamo Bay on Jan. 11, 2002. Muhammed arrived in May of that year.
In exchange for a guilty plea to terrorism offenses in February 2011, part of Muhammed's 14-year sentence was suspended, and he completed his term on Dec. 3. Idris, who had been cleared for transfer since 2009 by an interagency task force, was released following an October court order from the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
The defense bill marks the first time since Obama came to office promising to close Guantanamo that Congress is moving to ease restrictions instead of strengthen them. And it could signal changing political views toward the prison for terrorism suspects now that the war in Afghanistan is winding down.
Obama's achievement was somewhat of a surprise, after the Republican-controlled House earlier this year voted overwhelmingly to make it harder to transfer detainees. But the deal to move in the opposite direction passed with hardly any opposition and little attention.

text: Matt Neal has clinched his first British Touring Car Championship title with third place in race two at Brands Hatch. The Birmingham-born driver became the first independently-entered competitor to win the crown since 1991, ending four years of Vauxhall domination in the process. Neal, who drives a Honda, started the day with a 30-point lead to protect: fourth in the first race followed by third in the second was enough to secure the title. Dan Eaves and Jason Plato were the respective victors, while Yvan Muller, Neal's closest challenger for the title, finished second and then down in 12th. Rob Collard won the third and final race of the day.

The Conscious Mind:
In Search of a Fundamental Theory
by David J. Chalmers
This book was published with Oxford University Press in April 1996. It started life as my Ph. D. dissertation at Indiana University (1993), and was revised into a book by adding some new chapters, tightening up the arguments, and making it more accessible. A paperback edition has just been published. The price is $14.95 in the US.
The book is an extended study of the problem of consciousness. After setting up the problem, I argue that reductive explanation of consciousness is impossible (alas!), and that if one takes consciousness seriously, one has to go beyond a strict materialist framework. In the second half of the book, I move toward a positive theory of consciousness with fundamental laws linking the physical and the experiential in a systematic way. Finally, I use the ideas and arguments developed earlier to defend a form of strong artificial intelligence and to analyze some problems in the foundations of quantum mechanics.
You can order the paperback at a 20% discount through its web page at Amazon.com books. This has two nice unsolicited reviews thrown in for good measure. You can also order the hardback at 30% off.
The book also has its own web page at Oxford University Press. (If you have sharp eyes you'll notice a slightly different cover.). Oxford doesn't seem to have web ordering set up (see their order page), but within the US you can order by phone at 1-800-451-7556, or by e-mailing email@example.com (or email@example.com for UK readers).
Or order the Italian translation here.
"A startling first book."
-The Economist
"The Conscious Mind is exceptionally ambitious and exceptionally successful - the best book in philosophy of mind for many years. It flies in the faces of fashion, making a formidable case against materialist orthodoxy. Legions of materialists are no doubt busy writing their rejoinders; but there will be few points left for them to make that Chalmers hasn't made already. We of the materialist opposition cannot go on about how he has overlooked this and misunderstood that - because he hasn't. All we can do is to disagree about which way the balance of considerations tilts.
-David Lewis, Princeton University
"Eloquent, fiendishly clever....One of the best science books of the year."
-The Sunday Times (London)
"The Conscious Mind is an outstanding contribution to our understanding of consciousness. Chalmers pursues an idea that most other writers on consciousness have ignored, either because they haven't thought clearly enough to notice it or because they were terrified of acknowledging it. Writing The Conscious Mind was an act of courage, and Chalmers was no doubt emboldened by a well-founded confidence that he could state his argument with impeccable clarity and rigor."
-Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct
"One of the best discussions of consciousness in existence, both as an advanced text and as an introduction to the issues. One feels that Chalmers has done about as good a job as could be done on this most intractable of problems."
-Colin McGinn, Times Higher Education Supplement
"Chalmers has written an exciting and fascinating book. I hope that because of it, consciousness in all its paradoxical glory will once more hold center stage in a robust philosophy of mind. "
-Eric Dietrich, Minds and Machines
Cover blurbs (hardback)
"Consciousness is the challenge to the physicalist orthodoxy
in current cognitive science and philosophy of mind. This book is a brilliant
presentation of that challenge. In addition, it is a major essay in the
philosophy of mind that has much to teach us whatever our allegiances."
-Frank Jackson, Australian National University
"In my view, The Conscious Mind will likely be considered the best of the many books that have appeared on the topic of consciousness in the past several years. Unlike many recent writers, Chalmers does not evade the problem of consciousness by redefining the problem away; he faces the problem squarely and is prepared to take the consequences. The book is written with admirable and refreshing clarity, and brims with enthusiasm and a sense of excitement. "
-Jaegwon Kim, Brown University
"In theorizing about the "hard" problem of consciousness,
Chalmers adopts the most sensible approach among contemporary philosophers.
Unlike most of his colleagues, he embraces the phenomenal reality of consciousness
as given and attempts to explain it within a scientific framework. His
book goes a long way towards establishing the seemingly obvious: consciousness
is a real phenomenon of the natural world that cries out for a rational,
naturalistic explanation."
-Christof Koch, California Institute of Technology
"Taking as his starting point some very intuitive notions about
consciousness, David Chalmers arrives at strange and startling conclusions
about what this central knot of human existence really is. This is a grand
exploration of the topic, brilliantly argued by someone who knows the territory
inside-out. Though I personally can't go everywhere Chalmers wants to take
me, he's certainly one of the best possible guides."
-Douglas Hofstadter, Indiana University

Judo Ne Waza from my experience is very strong, aggresive and focuses on the top game. There isn't as much emphasis upon flowwing from submission to submission as you aren't allowed enough time on the ground. However, submissions are applied really quickly and aggressively.
BJJ ground work in my oppinion is more technical and is often more relaxed. You have loads of time to set up submissions and apply your stratergy from the ground.
I actually think that Judo fills allot of the gaps that are in Jiu Jitsu and vice versa. So train both if you can.

I stayed on 21.11.12 and really was quite amazed at how terrible the service is. It was raining heavily and we had no umbrella, we wanted to go for breakfast at nirwana gardens. We screamed and shout out to buggies who passed by our chalet but they just completely ignored us. Finally my husband had to walk in the heavy rain to the reception and begged for a buggy!! Last i recalled i paid for the accomodation but the staff has a way of making it like it was given free.
The rooms came with no phone, no kettle and there is no safe either.
The rooms are like a 2 star hotel standard.
The only good part is the beach is not crowded but be prepared to pay alot for the watersports.
One advise is to bring your own food as the food here are CRAZYYY expensive.
Never returning.

Is this the spirit of my horse Dolly? Watch and let me know what you think.
Watch the broom closest to the door, the handle was swaying for about a minute or two.. there was NO draft.
Photo credit: Wendy Steele, WWYZ
A little more about why we think it's her spirit in the video: we gave a couple of her blankets to one of the other horses, Lady, and they are draped over the blanket bar in front of her stall.. every once in a while, someone will find them on the ground, for no reason, mostly the one that has Dolly's name embroidered on it. It happened again last night, right after the video of the broom swaying was taken. And, I gave one of the other girls at the barn one of Dolly's halters, she had her keys on a hook right next to it, and those keys were also swaying. The barn was all closed up for the night, there was NO wind or draft.. another lady, who had never met Dolly and didn't know us, when she first moved her horse to the barn, saw a dark horse galloping the fence line where Dolly (and my Cindy) were turned out every day. There were no horses turned out at the time.. later, after we got to know her, we were showing her pictures of Dolly and she couldn't believe it, but she said that's the horse I saw galloping that day! So, it's our feeling that Dolly is still at the barn in spirit, watching over all of the horses, as she was the 'boss mare' lol and loved to 'rule' everyone else.. she had a very strong personality, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if she's still making sure everyone's staying in line.. can you see the orbs in the video too? They are clearer in the actual phone video, maybe lost a little after transferring to youtube. Let me know your thoughts by COMMENTING below.. it's ok if you think I'm crazy, because I am actually haha!
** UPDATE ** We now know that there is another spirit at the barn, it's not just my horse Dolly or our pony Cindy.. more to come soon. To protect some of those involved, I can't say more at this time.
AND THIS HAPPENED JUST LAST NIGHT! The same broom, in a slightly different location, NO drafts or wind since the barn was closed up tight for the night..
Here's a pic of me with my beloved Dolly..

Some people don't quite understand why it is such a resourceful boost to be a switch hitter. To put it plainly, switch hitters always have the advantage over a pitcher whether he is left or right-handed. Time and stats has shown that a left hander usually has an advantage over a left-handed hitter and vice versa with righties. Reason being; a hitter at the opposite end of a pitcher's throwing arm has a significant increased vantage point of the incoming pitch. This can also lead to the bullpen being managed differently during clutch situations in the late innings. Being a switch hitter does not come naturally, and typically over time you will see a player favor his natural side with more success. However, every once in a while we come across a player that does it so well from both sides of the plate, that you really couldn't ever tell the difference. Here are some of the greatest switch hitters to ever pick up a bat.
Although Beltran is still active, he comes in at just under 2000 hits for his career. During a stint with the Mets, he gained a reputation as an injury prone player. At some points in his career, this has threatened to overshadow his other achievements. Despite spending much of his time as a Met on the DL, he has still racked up over 300 home runs, and has over 1300 RBI's. Not bad for a guy with maybe three (or more) years to go.

A highly durable magnesium-alloy body surrounds the components and offers increased dust and weather resistance. An updated EOS Integrated Cleaning system also helps to reduce and remove dust within the camera body. Several of the physical controls on the camera body are fully customizable for a more efficient workflow and more convenient handling scheme.

A woman who disappeared after stumbling into the surf at Bondi Beach fully-clothed has been found alive, emergency services say.
Police were called after a member of the public saw the woman walking into the surf about 2.30am.
Officers later saw the woman sitting on rocks at the northern end of the beach, before they saw her dive into the water.
Do you know more? Message 0424 SMS SMH (+61 424 767 764) or email us or direct message us on Twitter @smh_news with information or images.
She then disappeared, police said.
Water police, a rescue helicopter and lifeguards searched for her through the morning.
Marine Area Command Senior Sergeant Larry Malone said the 43-year-old woman was found about 7.30am.
It appeared she had spent some of the night sleeping on the sand, Senior Sergeant Malone said.
A spokesman for the Ambulance Service of NSW initially said it was believed she spent several hours in the water.
Senior Sergeant Malone said that was not the case.
"She's alert and orientated," the ambulance spokesman said.
Paramedics have taken the woman to St Vincent's Hospital in a stable condition.

Our sincere thanks to Andy Jurgensen for his review of Amy Berg's documentary and comparison to the documentary trilogy by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky.
In 1994, Damian Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were tried and convicted in a West Memphis court of the murder of Steven Branch, Christopher Byers and Michael Moore. The trial was a sensational one, with prosecutors claiming that Echols was a Satan worshiper and with the help of Misskelley and Baldwin, tortured and killed the young boys in a ritualistic rage. Only teenagers, Misskelley and Baldwin received life sentences and Echols was given the death penalty. In the subsequent 18 years since their lockup, there has been a growing support around the three men, with many doubting the evidence provided by local law enforcement and questioning whether the right killers are behind bars. Amy Berg's West of Memphis, the latest documentary to chronicle this trial and aftermath, is a comprehensive and worthy analysis of police and court injustice and charts the emotional journey of those dedicated to Echols, Misskelley and Baldwin's eventual release.
The young mens' story was first brought to the public eye by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, whose Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills aired on HBO in 1996 and cast initial doubts about the young men's guilt. Since that film, Berlinger and Sinofsky have made two well executed follow-up docs (the latest, Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, premiered at film festivals late last year and is nominated for best doc at this year's Oscars). West of Memphis doesn't ignore the existence of these films and actually credits them for sparking the global "Save the West Memphis Three" movement and acquiring the high profile financial support of celebrities such as Peter Jackson & Fran Walsh (both producers on this film), Eddie Vedder, Natalie Maines, Johnny Depp and others.
It's important to note that West of Memphis is not a rehash, but rather, a fresh and more informed perspective on what has become quite a contentious story. Berg doesn't dwell on the minutiae of the original trial (which Paradise Lost 1 did so well) and moves fairly quickly into the legal team's exhaustive effort to reexamine all the evidence of the case. What they find is pretty astounding: two instances of false testimony, multiple signs of coerced confession and misinterpretation of "satanic" mutilation of the victims' bodies. The most shocking revelation comes via new forensic testing that finds no traces of DNA from Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley at the crime scene but points to a new suspect in Terry Hobbs, stepfather of victim Steven Branch.
With this new piece of the puzzle, the second part of the film expertly focuses on building the case against Hobbs. Much of the first two Paradise Lost films pointed suspicions on the boisterous Mark Byers, stepfather of victim Chris Byers, without any hard evidence except for his wild and vindictive demeanor played out in front of their cameras. Berg is somewhat critical of their initial accusations and backs up her argument against Hobbs with a questionable alibi and stories of prior abuse. Additionally, sworn testimony from witnesses conducted two weeks before the Sundance premiere claim Hobbs's nephew told them that Terry killed the two boys and it is the "Hobbs family secret."
As the team prepares to appeal to the Arkansas supreme court and retry the case in light of DNA evidence, the film introduces us to Lorri Davis, a NY woman who started writing letters to Damian Echols back in 1996 and has since dedicated her life to the mens' freedom, and Pam Hobbs, Steven Branch's mother who reveals her doubts that the West Memphis Three are the real killers. The journey of these two women provide an emotional backbone to the film without overshadowing its mission.
One of the more interesting parts of the film for me was the unexpected final chapter, where current West Memphis prosecutor Scott Ellington offers Echols, Misskelley and Baldwin immediate freedom in exchange for admitting guilt to first-degree murder (in the form of Alford pleas). Always claiming their innocence, it is a heart-wrenching decision. Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, which was initially completed before this surprise development, later tacked on an epilogue that informs well enough but is not as satisfying as it could have been. Because of Berg's access, West of Memphis provides a real play-by-play of the inner turmoil the three men go through to accept a plea deal, especially that of Jason Baldwin. Their release is bittersweet and an on-camera interview Berg conducts with Ellington prove that politics and attitudes have not changed in West Memphis.
Clocking in at 150 minutes, West of Memphis leaves no stone unturned and proves to be a significant and impassioned companion piece to the HBO documentary trilogy. With the exception of a few sound bites from Echols in prison, Berg chooses not to interview Misskelley or Baldwin until after they are eventually released. It's a bold but effective choice as we see the three men adjust to life on the outside and attempt to put this nightmare behind them. With a scripted movie in the works (set to star Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon) and the ultimate fate of Hobbs in limbo, this isn't the last we'll hear of this tragic tale.
