[NCAA DIVISION I MEN] Sophomores Kirk Urso and Alex Dixon scored in a three-minute span in the second half to give No. 5 seed North Carolina to a 2-1 win over upstart Drake in the NCAA Division I men's quarterfinals Friday at Fetzer Field. With the victory, the Tar Heels are headed back to the Men's College Cup next weekend at Cary's WakeMed Soccer Park.
Carolina will face either No. 1 seed Akron or No. 8 seed Tulsa, who square off at 4 p.m.
Saturday in a quarterfinal match.
Urso, who scored in the 55th minute, and Dixon, who followed in the 58th, with his fourth goal of the NCAA Tournament. sophomore scoring streak for
Carolina, which has gotten all five of its postseason goals from second-year players. Dixon found the back of the net for the third straight game for the Tar Heels, who have outscored their NCAA
tourney opposition by a 5-1 margin.
"I thought for the most part of the game we controlled the tempo and did what we had to do," said UNC head Elmar
Bolowich. "We just couldn't get the goals in the first half while we had the chances to do so. Our goal coming out of halftime in the first 15 minutes was to score and put the pressure on
Drake further. Then Kirk used the opportunity with a wonderful strike to break the ice, and Alex followed up with a counter attack goal."
Drake's Kenan
Malicevic scored with 41 seconds left to trim the score to the final one-goal margin.
"I liked what we did," said Bolowich. "We really worked the ball pretty well and created so
many opportunities in front of the goal in a quarterfinal match. We don't want to sit back. We want to attack all the time. It's just an issue of getting a few more goals to make it easier on
Drake was making its first appearance in the Elite Eight.
"That was clearly the best team we've played all year and I thought at the end of our 25-game journey that we
perhaps were a little bit gassed out," Drake coach Sean Holmes said. "To constantly go on the road is challenging and I don't want the one painful 90 minutes to undue the work that the guys
have done all season."

Health bosses have received the turnaround plan, which gives details of redundancies and changes proposed for the Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust.
The document will now be reviewed by the Trent Strategic Health Authority and the Department of Health.
A spokesperson from the trust said the plans are expected to be made public after the Spring Bank Holiday.
Reduce debts
A memo leaked to BBC News has suggested night-time emergency services could be reduced at Boston and Grantham.
The union Unison has warned there could be as many as 1,000 health jobs lost in Lincolnshire.
Union officials have urged the trust to make the details public immediately rather than leave staff in the dark for several weeks.
NHS managers are also considering the suspension of fluoridation in the north and west of the county for a year to help reduce deficits.
They need to reduce debts of £17.5m and stem the current overspend of almost £2.5m a month.

Study requested by the European Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs
Verfasser der Studie: Lear - Laboratorio di economia, antitrust, regolamentazione
Hier geht es zum Text der Studie.
Aus den Empfehlungen von Lear:
"6. Recommendations
Building on the results of the previous chapters, we provide the following
6.1.1. Legal instrument: horiontal or antitrust-specific
In our view, an efficient collective redress system in antitrust should be introduced through
a sector-specific measure. An antitrust-specific measure would be focused on enhancing
private antitrust enforcement by removing inequality between the Member States in the
level of judicial protection of individual rights directly stemming from Articles 101 and 102
6.1.2. Legal basis: Article 103 TFEU
Among the legal bases analysed, Article 103 TFEU seems to be the most appropriate
Treaty provision for an EU legislative initiative in the field of collective redress in antitrust. [...]
6.1.3. Legislative Act: directive or regulation
In our view, the most effective legislative act for a sector-specific initiative in EU
competition law would be a regulation. Since existing national collective redress systems
have general scope and are not limited to competition law enforcement, the introduction of
an ad hoc special mechanism by means of regulation would create a uniform, efficient EU
procedural instrument to be added to existing national ones.
6.2. Incentives and safeguards
Opt-in vs. opt-out: Besides being more in line with European legal tradition, the opt-in
model has the important advantage of limiting the risk of unmeritorious claims, and it
appears overall preferable to the opt-out model. However, it might be useful to also
consider hybrid solutions that, while retaining opt-in as the general rule, permit adopting
an opt-out model in some clear and limited circumstances, such as for instance when
injured consumers have suffered a damage of small value and are therefore unlikely to opt
in a collective action. Courts may be granted discretion as to whether the opt-out model is
necessary to guarantee that a significant proportion of injured parties are compensated for
the damages suffered. [...]"

Sebastian Stan (Captain America, Gossip Girl) is set to co-star in Political Animals, USA Network's 6-episode drama series from Greg Berlanti, Laurence Mark and Warner Horizon, which premieres this summer. Written by Berlanti, the Washington DC-based series is a fictional look at a former first family that exposes a dynasty weakened by political ambition, lust and greed. It centers on Elaine Barrish (Sigourney Weaver), the divorced former First Lady and newly appointed Secretary of State who throws herself into the job after recovering from the dissolution of her marriage and losing the presidential nomination. She attempts to keep her family together, while simultaneously dealing with crises of the State Department and a hungry DC journalist (Carla Gugino) bent on destroying her career. Romanian-born Stan, repped by WME and Brookside Artist Management, will play Barrish's son Thomas "T.J." Hammond, a lost soul who struggles with addiction and the polar opposite of his brother, Douglas (James Wolk), who serves as their mother's chief of staff.

I'll only watch if he wears the scarf.
Mommas… Don't let your babies grow up to be D-bags… This picture should be a cautionary tale. Cuz if there was a picture next to douchebag in Websters… It would look a lot like this.
He's a great upcoming actor.
The more I hear about this show, the more I hate it.
It's like a PARODY of a Greg Berlanti show.

Pawn Shop Circuit: Tough Times
Neil had two Taurus 1911s, one in 45ACP for $549, and one in .38 super for $499. His rack was full of shotguns and deer rifles. He told me times are getting tough, and people are not showing back up with their pawn tickets. At Kenny's shop I found a couple of Smith & Wesson M&P pistols, and a Springfield XD. Kenny also had a full rack of deer rifles and shotguns. I noticed in each pawn shop the power tool shelves were full of tools. That's probably a fair indicator of the economy.
A new place had opened up, so I decided to check out their wares as well. They had a couple of Browning Challengers that were priced around three fifty, and a Colt WWI Reproduction tagged at $1300. Several black rifles were among the display of long guns. The lady behind the counter informed me that she would be happy to order what ever I wanted, and I guess I should have asked what she charges for a FFL transfer. I haven't ordered a firearm and paid a transfer in a couple of years now. I just haven't had the need to do so. Also on her shelves were two Colt 1911s in bright nickel, and a slew of revolvers, all new, and most of them Rossi. Seeing the pawn shop shelves fill back up, it makes me wonder what might become available in the coming months. Hopefully, a few guns more to my taste will emerge, and they will be in my price range.

Nottinghamshire spinner Graeme Swann has been included in a 12 man England squad to face India in the third one day international in Kanpur.
England Coach Peter Moores will give consideration to naming Swann alongside Samit Patel in a two-pronged spin attack but Ryan Sidebottom is definitely out after suffering a back problem.
"Missing the first two games has been hard for me. I really came out here hoping to play in all seven," said Swann.
"It's horrendous to be honest, being in a squad and being so close, doing all the preparation then not getting a chance to play.
"We've lost the last two so I've sat on the sidelines thinking that maybe I could have helped towards an England victory and fingers crossed I will get that chance on Thursday."
England are two down in the series having suffered comprehensive defeats in Mumbai and Indore but Swann is confident that the series is not beyond recovery.
"There's no point worrying about it but being two down after two games isn't ideal but thankfully for us it's a seven match series," he said.
"If we can win tomorrow and the another one and get on a roll like we did against South Africa then we know we can win this series and that is exactly what we're planning to do.
"We had a few chances in the last game and I think we let then off the hook a little bit. Their entire top seven are world class one day players so it doesn't matter who's batting because we've got jobs to do on all of them.
"They had a good series against Australia and they've started well against us but make no mistake about it – they're not the unbelievable world beaters that some of their local press are making them out to be.
"We've got talent in our team to match them and Flintoff and Pietersen are undoubtedly two of the best one day cricketers in the world on-song and it only takes one of them to hit a rich vein of form like Yuvraj has and all of a sudden the fielding looks slicker, the bowling looks better the catching looks better and everything fits into place and we're hoping that happens sooner rather than later."
England squad to face India in Kanpur: Pietersen (capt), Anderson, Bell, Bopara, Broad, Collingwood, Flintoff, Harmison, Patel, Prior, Shah, Swann.

WACO — There was 1:15 left in the first half of a 7-7 ballgame on Saturday night. This was the FCA Victory Bowl All-Star Football Game at the Waco ISD Sports Complex.
Christian Gomez, who recently graduated from Florence, was playing right tackle for the Blue Team.
"I knew what my job was," Gomez said. "I was ready."
Blue Team quarterback CJ Collins (Bosqueville) took the snap at the Red Team's 49-yard line. Collins dropped back deep into the pocket.
All the while, Gomez flattened the oncoming defensive end.
Then Collins tossed a rainbow to the end zone and into the waiting hands of Charles Simpson (Chilton).
Touchdown, Blue Team.
"I knew we were gonna score on that play," Gomez said. "So I felt responsible to do my job and I did it. I put my guy where he needed to go."
The Blue Team ultimately won the contest 21-16, and Gomez clearly had one heck of a game.
"Christian did a great job blocking all night," said Lampasas graduate Gary Spencer, who led the Blue Team in rushing with 60 yards. "He was the leader of our offensive line, too. He took charge."
Gomez, a 6-foot-3, 270-pounder, played left tackle during the 2013 season.
"The switch to right tackle was no problem for me," Gomez said. "Wherever they wanted me was fine. We practiced only four days for this game but I felt like I've known my new teammates for a lifetime. I'd have done anything for these guys and I was glad that I could make some big blocks that helped us win. This team was like a family."
The players for the Red Team, under the guidance of Shoemaker head coach Channon Hall, also expressed how close they became during the four-day, all-star preparation week.
"This whole week and this game was truly a blessing," said Copperas Cove graduate Andrew Sommervold, the Red Team's center. "We made a lot of new bonds."
And Sommervold made a lot of big blocks.
"Andrew really played well for us tonight," Hall said. "Coach (Chris) Lancaster (Bruceville-Eddy) coached him up all week and counted on him big time. He did a great job in there. It was exciting to watch him make all those blocks."
Sommervold took notice of his opponents early.
"At the beginning of the game, I saw they had some big boys on their defensive line," Sommervold said. "So I was thinking that I'll just have to beat them with speed, good footwork. I was dialed in the whole game and so were my teammates. We went all in."
Watch a replay of the game Saturday at 11:30 a.m. on KWTX Ch. 10 (Time Warner Cable Ch. 2)

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello, and welcome to JA!! lets first check these fuses. there is a 30 amp fuse in the underhood fuse block marked RR HVAC, and the other is ign 3 a 10 amp in the same fuse block. if these check ok, let me know, and i can you some more things to check.
also do you have access to a testlight or a voltmeter??
Ok, good, we need to check the power and ground at the rear blower motor. this will tell us if we a bad blower motor or a electrical problem to the blower motor.
you will need to remove the right rear quarter molding to gain access to the blower motor. there is two wires going to the blower motor. one is a purple wire, which should have 12 volts when the blower is turned on. the other is a black wire which is ground. if you have a test light, just go across the purple and black, if the the test lights then the power and ground is good!! and the blower motor is bad!!
Removal Procedure
sure the rear blower motor takes a little less than an hour to replace labor time is .7 of an hour. and here is the part price. depending on what the shop rate is, translate to about 50- 75.00 dollars in labor

- Thank you, Phil, for sounding a much more conciliatory tone and for the acknowledgement that these issues are less important than the core of the Gospel, in which we both continue to delight in being united. You remain my dear friend despite these recent online skirmishes, and I hope we can have coffee again some day!
- I think that there is almost nothing in your post which would not evaporate if we did not all learn to follow Paul's command:
". . . test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22).
If charismatics as a movement remembered the need to follow that Scripture when it came to gifts, I suspect that there would be fewer cessationists who felt the need to exercise their discernment in our direction! I believe that it is the absence of discernment rather than the doctrine itself that causes the problems we all see only too clearly. But then I would say that, wouldn't I?
That Scripture is surely our authoritative word on the discernment issue—we must remember to both hold onto what we see that is good in other Christians and avoid what is evil.
As a charismatic, I cannot resist the temptation to be a good biblical scholar and put those words into their context. Paul says immediately before them, "Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies . . ." For me, the fact that there are phony prophecies around is not enough to make me feel I can simply ignore that text or claim it does not apply to me today. I know Phil will, of course, see that differently, but I am proud to still be able to call him my friend and brother.

Bangladesh's diplomatic representative in Hong Kong says his consulate is close to reaching an agreement with local employment agencies on recruiting domestic workers in the South Asian country to work in the city.
The proposed agreement anticipates plans by both Philippine and Indonesian authorities to discourage their citizens from working as domestic helpers abroad, including Hong Kong, which employs more than 300,000 helpers from the two Southeast Asian countries.
Ashud Ahmed, Bangladesh's consul general, confirmed yesterday that he and his officials had been in talks with the employment agencies and that he was confident an agreement was near.
"I think it will be very soon, maybe around two to three months," Ahmed said. "We are thinking about it seriously … and we think that Hong Kong has a strong rule of law [to protect Bangladeshis]."
He said that training was essential to ensure that Bangladeshis could work competently in Hong Kong, given the differences between the two places in way of life and language.
However, Joe Chow Kui-kuen, the head of Asosiasi PPTKI Hong Kong, an organisation which represents 200 employment agencies in the city, said the talks had snagged on the issue of who would train the workers.
The Bangladeshi government wanted the agencies to help co-ordinate official training programmes in Bangladesh, but the agencies had reservations about doing so, Chow said.
"If we have to co-run the programmes with the [Bangladeshi] government, it will be hard to guarantee the quality," Chow said. "That's because if we think the programmes are not good enough, it will be hard for us to negotiate with the government."
The agencies have instead proposed managing the programmes jointly with private training companies in Bangladesh, but they had yet to reach an agreement on this point, he said.
In August, Chow said that the Hong Kong government had been involved in the talks with the Bangladeshis on the matter, and that "as far as I know, success is near".
Yesterday he said that talks with the consulate began about six months ago. Bangladesh's labour department was involved but not Hong Kong's, he added.
The Immigration Department does not ban Bangladeshis from working as domestic helpers in Hong Kong, as it does in the case of Vietnam, Nepal and Cambodia, as well as the mainland.
Chow believes that an arrangement with Bangladesh will help to avoid a shortage of domestic workers that will occur once the Philippine and Indonesian plans, scheduled for 2017, take effect.
He predicts that, with a population of about 160 million, Bangladesh could send up to 5,000 helpers to Hong Kong in the first year, rising to 10,000 by the third year. They would be attracted by the city's minimum wage of HK$3,920 a month, he added.
As of July, there were 149,009 Filipino and 152,557 Indonesian helpers in Hong Kong, accounting for almost 98 per cent of the domestic workers in the city.

In the first of many ventures, Ion diversified, with his brother Neil, into a company called Chipsteaks, producing frozen hamburgers. He then joined a subsidiary of Allied Mills, which made Daffodil margarine and in 1964, he was approached to become the general manager of Macdonald Hamilton, the Australian arm of the UK shipping company, Inchcape. Through his association with the third Earl of Inchcape he was instrumental in securing funds for the first intensive care ward at St Luke's Hospital, the board of which he served on for 30 years. He remained with Macdonald Hamilton for two decades and retired as executive chairman in 1986.
He had begun a drink-and-snack vending-machine company, a small, highly geared business that relied on equipment and short-term concessions. The company survived the recession of the early 1990s and became an attractive target for its two giant, US competitors, Coca Cola and Smarte Carte, which both acquired parts of it.
Among Ion Macarthur Onslow's other interests were the lucrative rights in airports throughout the country and overseas to the luggage trolley, every traveller's bane and saviour. It seemed somehow fitting (and indicative of the family's foresight and ability to adapt), five generations on and 200 years after John Macarthur led the way with wool, Australia's first major industry, that his great-great-great grandson should be playing his part in tourism, the country's latest major industry.
Ion Macarthur Onslow was proud of his heritage but he carried it lightly and essentially lived his life, made his fortune and earned affection and respect through his own ventures and virtues.
He is survived by his wife, Jenifer, two daughters and a son, two brothers and a sister.

Flames Fall to Last Place in Round Two
The Liberty men's golf team fell to last place out of 15 squads after two rounds at N.C. State's Wolfpack Invitational, played at the 7,112-yard, par-72 River Landing Golf Club, in Wallace, N.C., on Saturday.
Liberty (613) entered the day in 13th, but fell to last place after tallying a 313 in the second round. The Flames are one stroke behind Navy (612) and five strokes out of 13th place, which is occupied by Houston (608).
Host No. 35 North Carolina State (574) climbed the ladder to tie No. 16 Duke (574) in first place. No. 18 Wake Forest (581) is holding tight in third place, seven-strokes behind the leaders. No. 8 Florida State (583) entered the day tied atop the boards with Duke, but fell to fifth place after shooting a 299 on Saturday.
After being tied for sixth entering the day, Jay Calvo (149) shot an 80 on Saturday, falling to 33rd place and five-over par. Nathan Schenz-Davis (153) is at nine-over par, while Sang Chun (155) sits at 11-over par. Preston Dembowiak (157) is at 13-over par, while Parker McKoy (167) is at 23-over par for the tournament.
No. 11 Webb Simpson (139) of Wake Forest took over the medalist lead at five-under par, while Kent Copeland (140) of North Carolina State and No. 52 Michael Schachner (140) of Duke are knotted in second place at four-under par.
N.C. State's Wolfpack Invitational concludes with the third round, tomorrow at the 7,112-yard, par-72 River Landing Golf Club, in Wallace, N.C.

The pope made his remarks after returning to the Vatican Wednesday, and they were reported far and wide. But, says TIME religion correspondent Richard Ostling, "he wasn't giving marching orders to the flock to storm the palace gates. He was serving notice that the Church is determined to see more individual freedoms in Cuba, under Castro or, if necessary, under another government."
That said, the papal visit has already encouraged others to speak up. Ostling recalls a recent incident outside Havana in which a Cuban archbishop "unleashed this fiery, impassioned speech on political freedoms." With the pope behind him on the rostrum, the archbishop "really seemed emboldened to say what was on his heart," Ostling notes. "And when enough people stand up and do that, the political changes inevitably follow."

Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared on Friday before a Whitewater federal grand jury to testify behind closed doors about the mysterious reappearance at the White House of her missing law-firm billing records. Following the four-hour interrogation, she told reporters she was "glad" to have had the chance to repeat what she has always maintained: "I do not know how the billing records came to be found where they were found."
Facing one of the most partisan Congresses in years, President Clinton delivered his third State of the Union message--a smooth, politically centrist proclamation designed to appeal directly...

Kindergarten Through Grade 4
to Evolution
Eventually only the flying birds will be left to reproduce, and their offspring will likely be flying birds too. There can be small variations in offspring, however, so maybe a few of these red birds will have green baby birds that can hide in the trees. The eagle will then eat the red birds but miss the green birds. Eventually, most birds will be green instead of red. Explain that in a similar way, new types of animal populationseven peoplecan develop over long periods of time. Show students pictures of some early hominids, including Australopithecus africanus, and ask what factors allowed these species to evolve into Homo sapiens. (Youll find appropriate pictures in the February 1997 and August 1998 issues of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.)
Now compare humans to another type of mammal, such as a dog, cat, or horse. How are we similar to and different from this animal? What about a bird, reptile, or insect?
Give each student an index card bearing the name of an animal. (If time permits, students might draw their animals on the cards.) Have a variety of insects, birds, reptiles, nonprimate mammals, nonhuman primates, and human beings.
Gather the class around a large piece of poster board, a rug, or a table. Ask students to place their index cards in an order that represents the similarities between animals. The most primitive animals (insects) might be at the top, followed by species that have progressively more in common with people. Let students discuss where animals should be placed. Explain to the class that certain scientists have a similar job and must try to figure out the similarities and differences between all types of animals, including animals that have been extinct for a long time. In that case, they have to classify animals based on fossils, which is much more difficult.

On this week's episode of Talking Radical Radio, organizer Teresa Diewart talks about her involvement in Rising Tide Vancouver/Coast Salish Territories, a new climate justice group that emphasizes the intertwined character anti-colonial struggle and work against climate change.
Rising Tide is a network of autonomous, local groups that has a presence in communities across North America and around the world. They define their approach as "climate justice," which refuses to see as separate the social justice and environmental aspects of climate change, as well as emphasizing movement-building and direct action. The group in Vancouver is a new addition to the network. Their work reflects a conviction that work against climate change must centre indigenous peoples and opposition to colonization. Initially inspired by a visit by some of the core organizers to the Unist'ot'en Action Camp in northern British Columbia, they prioritize working with the nations and communities that are on the frontlines of struggle against the oppressive impacts and industries at the heart of climate change. Diewart talks about what the group has done since its founding last September, their approach, and their plans for the future.

If Your 11-Year-Old Asks For A Tattoo, You Should Probably Say No
A North Carolina woman named Odessa Clay is set to stand trial for tattooing her 11-year-old daughter with a "small, heart-shaped tattoo near her right shoulder." The 30-year-old's excuse for tattooing her little girl last September? "She asked me to do it," Clay explained.
Instead of saying, "I'm sorry honey, you'll have to wait until you're 18 and it's legal," Clay broke out her tattoo gun and inked her daughter herself. She told police that she thought tattoos for underage children were legal as long as the parent gave consent. Clay blames her arrest on her ex-in-laws who she feels reported her as retaliation for a previous dispute.
I'm sensing a subtle theme here. Well, bad parenting. And refusing to take responsibility for her actions. WORST. [Daily Mail UK]

Ask Experts & Get Answers to Your Questions - ASAP
Hello, welcome.
Are you thinking of it seriously?
If yes, I would recommend you to look for a consultant or a consulting company, specialized in the area related to oil product tank farms / business.
A rough estimation may actually turn out to be a fake friend:
-The estimation can be or much too high or much too low, therefore leading to a wrong strategical decision.
--> Therefore, in order to maximise your chances of succes, you can hire a consultant / company specialized in the field.
Maybe a good tip would be to make friends / connections that are working or related to this area, if it is not already the case, in order to get informed before to take action.
Did this answer help you? If yes, please rate this answer as positive, thanks!
Dear Sir,
I found 3 cases of tank oil farms, with same area (20,000 sqm)
I couldn't find in the desert, but these are in Africa (Nigeria).
1) http://alimosho.olx.com.ng/tank-farm-for-sale-iid-531788097
"Farm tank is for sale in Calabar. Area covered is 20,000 sq m, 6 tanks in all with capacity of 5,000,000 liters each total 30,000,000 liters. Asking price 4 Billion naira"
2) http://www.petrofinder.com/ship/ship_read.php?id=830
"Land size approx = 20,000 square meters 6 tanks of various capacities, pump house, loading arm, gantry, gen. 6 loading arms.(...)
All tanks Equal 30,910,000 litres. "
3) http://www.privateproperty.com.ng/calabar-epz-calabar-p4360.htm
"The tank farm has 6nos tanks of 5000MT each with a storage of 28,000,000 liters capacity and has administrative block, loading gantry, pump house, fire hydrant etc
(...) The land size is 20,000sq meters."
--> for these 3 examples, the total capacity range between 28,000,000 to 30,910,000 litres.--> They have all 6 tanks with same or various capacities.
So you have now a rough approximation of your maximal capacity: 30,000,000 litres.
If you want to estimate for a specific design, then just pick a design and consider you can have 6 tanks. Then you can calculate the maximal capacity: (6 time capacity-of-one-tank).
---If you have more questions, you can just ask me directly and I'll be glad to answer.Just add "For Florian" at the beginning of your question
Hello Sir,
Do you need any more help?
If yes
I'd be glad to do whatever I could to help.
If not
--> Please rate this answer as positive, this is very important, otherwise the expert doesn't get paid for his the work and may therefore lose his motivation to answer questions in future.
Thank you

text: "Despite these challenges, we remain hopeful that the signs of increasing stability we saw in our operations during 2011 will continue in the future, barring significant disruptions in the national or global economies, as Ameriana and the industry attempt to return to a more normalized credit environment," Gassen added. "As we continue on this path, our focus remains on asset quality, earnings growth and internally generated capital."Ameriana Bancorp's net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis was 3.75% for the fourth quarter of 2011, up six basis points from the third quarter of 2011 and down three basis points versus the fourth quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter increase in the net interest margin compared with the prior quarter reflected relatively stable yields on earning assets coupled with lower deposit costs. For 2011, net interest margin increased 10 basis points to 3.73% compared with 3.63% for 2010, primarily as a result of a reduction in the Company's average funding cost. The Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $515,000 and net charge-offs of $612,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011, which resulted in an allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio of 1.30% at December 31, 2011, down from 1.39% at September 30, 2011, and 1.33% at December 31, 2010. NPLs at the end of the fourth quarter totaled $8.8 million, reflecting a slight decrease from the linked quarter and a 22% decrease from $11.2 million at December 31, 2010. NPLs were 2.8% of total loans at December 31, 2011, down from 3.0% at the end of the third quarter of 2011 and 3.5% at December 31, 2010. Ameriana's loan portfolio increased $13.1 million or 4.3% on a linked-quarter basis as commercial loan demand strengthened in December. Residential mortgage lending also increased in the fourth quarter, reflecting continued customer refinancing and an increase in new home purchase activity.

Yes, He Can!
I sat there for hours in a rocking year in my parents' livingroom. Hunched over. Fingers cramping. Neck straining. Looking from the magazine to the keyboard to the television. Ignoring the complaints of my sister to let her watch TV. Finally, the last line of code was entered and I typed "run."
The result of my efforts was a tiny ball bouncing across my parents' TV screen.
I smiled.
My family said, "That's it?!"
It was the early 1980s and I was a young teenager. Those years were the early times of home computers. I had saved all my money to buy the Commodore Vic-20 that I was typing on and entering the pages of code that would earn me my ultimate reward of the tiny, red ball (and not a round ball, mind you, but the squared equivalent common in those days) repeatedly bouncing across the TV screen (at the time, many of the low-end computers would be hooked up to your television and not a monitor).
Being interested in computers and tech back then was really appealing. Everything was new and the concept of being able to "program" a home computer was pretty cool. Sitting for hours to type in code (no hard drives back then) seemed to fit in with my obsessive drive to finish things and be rewarded. Of course, I wasn't a "programmer" I was just typing code that someone else had written and published in a computer magazine. The most I ever "coded" on my own was a simple little program that would ask you to enter a number from 1 to 10 and then display a message when you entered a number. Of course, the devious side of me would enter this code on computers in stores and instead of a positive message I'd have the computer display insults when someone entered a number. "Number 5? Nooo, you idiot! That's wrong!" Yeah, I was a geek even back then.
My parents, probably looking to get something back from their tolerating me hogging the TV all the time, kept pushing me to go into computers. But, I've always loved language and words and writing. I knew from a pretty young age I wanted to be a writer or an editor--something to do with words. When the time came that I was finally able to go to college I knew I was going to
study English and Journalism.
That decision wasn't met with the encouragement or happiness that I'd wanted from my parents but I knew that computers were just a hobby for me. It didn't appeal to me to think about sitting for hours in an office writing code, etc. That was something I did for fun and as the years went on I knew I wasn't skilled enough to keep up with programming languages. Computer languages are very rigid and that's not the way my brain works.
Every career test I ever took always listed writer/editor as one of the top jobs I'd be good at. I was pretty convinced (and very stubborn). I think it wasn't until I had graduated college, with honors, with my degree in English/Journalism, that my parents finally accepted my choice of profession. Over the years, such as the months of unemployment I just suffered through, there have been times when I thought about switching careers, but I've always known in my heart what I was meant to do.
The important thing is that I made the choice for me. No one forced me to pick a career. No one told me that because I was horrible at math I shouldn't even think about becoming an accountant or something like that. I wasn't pre-judged as to limit my future.
Recently, during an evaluation of Mikey's progress, someone said, in response to some results from the tests, that Mikey would probably never be a lawyer and that there were good vocational schools to think about for the future. Now, I kept the Jersey Boy in me tame and didn't explode at this person. What I would have said, though, would have been along the lines of...DON'T EVER TELL MY KID WHAT HE CAN OR CAN'T DO!!! Especially not when he's barely three-years-old and doing well in his autism therapy.
Apparently there are a lot of parents of autistic children who just want the easy route. They just want to know the bare minimum they have to do to make sure their child can do something, anything with their life. I want more than that for Mikey and I honestly believe he wants more, too. Mikey is a very motivated kid and very smart and he never backs down from his schooling. Don't tell him, or me, that he CAN'T do something.
This was the first time I've heard someone say Mikey couldn't do something. His therapy and everything we've done since he was diagnosed has been about what he can do and what he will be able to do. Are there challenges in his life and in his mother's and my lives...of course. But we don't give up or back down and I don't expect anyone who is in his life to back down.
Most of the parents I know from Mikey's school are dedicated to helping their children fight past autism's challenges. They don't want to change their children they just want to make them better and make life easier for them. Isn't that what all parents want from their kids regardless of if they have a disability or not?
Mikey loves jigsaw puzzles. He sits there and does them over and over. Maybe he'll grow up to be the NY Times Crossword Puzzle creator someday. Or maybe he'll surprise me and say he wants to be a computer programmer. Whatever it is that he decides to do with his life I'll support.
Never tell your kids they can't do something. As far as I'm concerned, CAN'T means Copout And Never Try.

Corporate sponsors of the London Olympics should not use the special reserved "Games lanes" that came into force this week, Britain's Transport Secretary Justine Greening said.
Ms Greening urged executives to swap chauffeur-driven cars for trains and buses, despite them being part of the "Olympic family", which also includes athletes, Games officials, politicians and journalists who have exclusive use of about 50 kilometres of roads in and around the capital.
"It would be great if the sponsors could give public transport a go," she said at the Olympic Park.
"It is a great way to get to the Games. It will get them there reliably and quickly. We encourage everybody to use public transport. We've invested a lot of money, we put in a lot of effort and actually it should be something that everybody could use."
Anyone caught driving in the reserved lanes without permission faces a £130 ($197) fine, and their creation has already caused anger.
London cab drivers are planning protests over the restrictions, and some are threatening to "occupy" Games lanes.
Peter Hendy, the London transport commissioner, said the lanes were needed to avoid a repeat of the "debacle" of the 1996 Games in Atlanta, when some athletes missed events because they were stuck in traffic.
Meanwhile, the International Olympic Committee will brief competitors today in an attempt to avoid them dragging their feet at the opening ceremony.
There is a feeling the parade of athletes at recent Games has become too unwieldy, and that some teams move too slowly around the track while they take photos and pick out familiar faces. While keen not to spoil the experience for athletes of the 204 nations taking part, the IOC and organisers want all teams to make their way around the stadium at a reasonable speed.
It is understood they have come up with various "devices" to ensure the athletes maintain an even pace.
The opening ceremony director, Danny Boyle, has previously joked that Underworld, who are composing the score, had been told to speed up the beat of the marching music.
Organisers have been forced to cut one segment from the ceremony and "tighten up" other sequences to ensure it finishes by its allotted time of 12.30am at the latest and all spectators are able to get home.
The IOC executive director for the Olympics, Gilbert Felli, will brief all the chefs de mission of the competing nations on the problem.
At the opening day of the IOC session, the London 2012 chairman, Sebastian Coe, delivered his final progress report and said the five promises he had made in 2005 had guided their seven-year journey.
"On that day we made five promises: athletes at the centre of the project, iconic new, temporary and existing venues, magical atmosphere in full venues, inspire youth and lasting legacy," Lord Coe said.
He was joined by the 20 schoolchildren who accompanied the party in Singapore and underlined the bid commitment to engage with the youth of the world.
"As you remember, we outlined a vision and the ambition was simple: to connect young people to sport and the Olympic values," said Coe. "It has been an extraordinary journey over seven years since Singapore."
The London 2012 chairman told the IOC session that young people selected from its programmes would play an important part in Friday's opening ceremony, such as in the guard of honour. Construction workers involved in the building of the stadium are also expected to play a role.
Coe told the IOC members that the Games had not only created a sports legacy for the country but also helped regenerate east London. "We have built a new city inside an old city. Always with an eye for value for money. The economic dividend is clear," he said.
Coe said even during the sharp global economic downturn from 2008 onwards, London "punched through" to reach the finish line. "We are now focused like the athletes. We have made our journey from training track to warm-up track to stadium," said Coe, who thanked the British public for backing the Games.
"They have been unfailingly supportive. When we asked, they said unfailingly yes."

Easy Ratatouille
- Servings: 4
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
- 2 large tomatoes (about 1 pound), halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1 medium eggplant (1 pound), cut into 1-inch dice
- 1/2 pound zucchini, sliced crosswise 1 inch thick
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
How to make this recipe
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to moderately low and add the tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender, about 1 hour. Discard the bay leaf and serve warm or at room temperature.
Make Ahead
The ratatouille can be refrigerated for 3 days.
Suggested Pairing
Look for a clean, crisp white to contrast with the sharp eggplant and sweet onions. Inexpensive, citrusy dry examples from the Côtes de Gascogne are excellent choices.

Your questions answered
1) How do I ensure I'm happy with what goes in the paper or magazine?
We will go through the story with you line by line before it is printed to make sure you are 100 per cent happy with every word. This is not our story after all, it is your life!
2) How long does it take before I get paid?
Magazines and papers take a wildly varying time to pay up but generally they all operate on the same principle that payment is only due after the publication of your story. The wait can then be anything from ten days to eight weeks, depending on the publisher.
3) If I tell you my story, will you then use it without my permission?
Absolutely not! First Features is wholly committed to upholding the high standards of journalism as laid down by the PCC Code of Practice, closely observing the rules as well as the spirit of The Code. Whatever you tell us is STRICTLY confidential until and unless express permission is given for publication.
To read the PCC code in full, click here.
4) There are parts of my story I wouldn't like to be printed as they could be harmful or insulting to someone else. Is it okay to leave them out?
This all depends how crucial these aspects are to your story. The main thing is to be upfront with us from the beginning – if they aren't vital to the story, we can usually leave them out.
5) Is it okay not to mention my place of work as this could be embarrassing?
We are not in the business of making you feel uncomfortable or self-conscious in your home or work life. If you don't want your place of work mentioned, we can accommodate this.
6) I'm not happy about being photographed.
Bad luck! All publications, without exception, demand pictures to go with stories. It is very VERY rare to find a publication happy to do anonymous stories unless they are linked to cases of sexual offences. In these cases we are bound by the law not to reveal the victim's identity. However, the victim does have the right to waive that anonymity.
7) Will I have to sign anything?
Yes, most magazines and papers want to make sure that your story will be exclusive to them until the date of publication. They usually want you to sign a contract to say that you won't speak to any other media until that time – and it is in your interest to sign as the contract will state the agreed fee. So you will have a written guarantee of the money you are owed. After publication, however, you are usually freed from the contract.
8) Do you come to my house to interview me?
No. Interviews are done over the phone as this makes the whole process quicker. However, if you feel that you would rather speak to someone face-to-face we can arrange one of our writers to visit.
9) I'm not sure if I have a story. If I call or email, does that commit me to anything?
Nothing at all. We could chat for hours and at the end of the day, if you do not want to go ahead with your story, that is absolutely fine!
10) Can I decide which publication to go with?
It depends on how much demand there is for your story – the more demand, the more scope you have to choose where your story appears. Money is not always the over-riding factor in these circumstances - if you want to reach the widest audience, for example, or appeal to others like yourself, then we will tailor the approach to your wishes.

The protonema forms a flat, lobed, thalloid structure attached to the soil by rhizoids, and the plants arise from marginal cells.
They often merge insensibly into the green filaments (protonema) already noticed.
The formation of the moss-plant on the protonema is always from a single cell and is similar in all mosses.
Usually the protonema is filamentous and ceases to be evident after the plants have developed.
This tangled mass of green threads, called the protonema, is the first growth, from which the moss stems spring.
In Ephemerum also we may probably regard the relation of the small plants to the protonema as a primitive one.
The protonema is not persistent, and the plants are well developed, resembling those of Pleuridium.
In mosses (fig. 12) a filamentous growth, the protonema, is first formed, and the leafy plants arise upon this.
Erect branches may arise from the protonema, and gemmae may be developed on it.
The protonema is always a well-marked stage in the life-history.

The 32-year-old Croatian has managed an impressive five goals in just nine Premier League starts for the Cottagers this season since joining on a Bosman free transfer last summer when his contract with German side Hamburg expired.
Petric's 12-month deal at Craven Cottage will expire at the end of June and it seems that he is looking at a next career move, with Jol revealing that he wants to play more first team football.
The Dutch tactician can't guarantee that his situation will improve next term because he wants to stick with Dimitar Berbatov and Bryan Ruiz as his first-choice strike partnership. Therefore it is likely that Petric will move on to pastures new when the transfer window reopens for business.
"Petric is one who could make his mind up himself because as long as Berbatov was here, there is not a big role for him to play," said Jol in the Chronicle.
"The only thing is if you see his minutes he is very productive.
"He has said that he needs to play, which is what they all say. And if he needs to play, I'm not sure he will stay here.
"The other thing is my first combination is Dimitar Berbatov and Bryan Ruiz."
The only glimmer of hope for Petric is that Berbatov's agent admitted that the player could be tempted to join big-spending Russian side Zenit St Petersburg this summer which would then leave a void in the Fulham strike-force for him to fill if the Bulgarian was allowed to leave.

About the sound recordings part II: natural soundscapes (biophonies)Blog posted by bex on Nov 13th, 2009
In part II of this series, we look at natural soundscapes created by living creatures, and why we're keen to record more and more of them.
In part II of this series, we look at natural soundscapes created by living creatures, and why we're keen to record more and more of them.
After six months on the road, our audio equipment is holding up well. Huw looks at how the kit has performed so far, and why we've made some recent additions to our equipment.
As you may have already seen, this expedition has several focuses, and we'll be using sound recordings to document a wide range of issues that interest us. In this blog, I'll explain a bit about the wildlife recordings.
If you watched the film we posted yesterday, "A Time Comes", you'll have noticed that I was wearing one of my other hats (a climbing one rather than a cycling one…). Like many people, my interests and passions span several areas but there's a common theme running through them. That is, a deep love of the natural world and a belief that, as one of my childhood heroes put it: "People protect what they love" (Jacques Cousteau).
Update: For the latest on the audio equipment, including a six month review on how the kit has performed and why we've made some recent additions, please read the six month update.
I'd like to welcome you to the first in a series of audio equipment blogs. This is also a first for me, having never written a blog before. I usually plod away in the background in my own little technical world and leave others to communicate with the wider world, so please forgive me if I'm not conforming to the norms – I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in time!
Because our expedition will pass through a myriad of environments – from the extreme heat and dust of the Sahara to the hot, humid tropical rainforests of Central Africa (not forgetting Europe in winter) – equipment choice hasn't been easy. Everything is inevitably a compromise between quality and robustness. Travelling unsupported by bicycle, weight and bulk are also important factors. And, because we will often have no access to mains electricity, sometimes for extended periods, low power consumption is crucial.
I've been procrastinating for days over writing this introduction; explaining what we're doing means also having to explain why we're doing it, which I find strangely tricky.
The 'what' is easy: Listen to Africa is a cycling expedition from the UK to southern Africa, leaving on March 5th 2009 and ending up in Namibia around 18 months later.

Many children with complex communication needs also have concomitant
physical disabilities. These individuals may not be able to interact
with a computer-based system with their hands. In a visual interface,
scanning is a selection method where items in a display are highlighted
and individuals who have one volitional movement activate an external
device to select an item they see highlighted.
Young children with severe physical impairments have difficulty understanding current methods of scanning.
McCarthy et al., (2006) found that when children are presented with an object that zooms out towards them during a scanning sequence, they were more likely to learn the requirements of the interface with minimal instruction.
An additional challenge is added when individuals also have visual impairments. When the visual medium cannot be used, items are not highlighted visually, but are announced audibly. Improvements in technology now allow for a variety of animated graphics and sound cues to play within aided AAC displays.
Scanning within visual scenes using a variety of animated and auditory cues is a current focus of research in the lab.
Smith, McCarthy and Benigno (2009) found that the position of a high-tech AAC system had an impact on the ability of infants to engage in bouts of coordinated joint attention.
Beukelman, Ball and
Horn (2002), found that intervention specialists and pre-service
professionals preferred to learn about technology in small interactive
groups and did not like direct instruction methods. They also found
that pre-service and current professionals' interest in
technology is low, despite knowledge of its importance.
Discussion boards were conducted with two different graduate cohorts to supplement in-class instruction regarding assistive technology. One cohort participated as a single large group while the second was divided into small groups. Discussions were analyzed for themes and quality. Students' evaluations of the experience were also analyzed.

Individuals with severe
communication disabilities continue to experience reduced expectations
and opportunities in employment as the result of negative attitudes
(McNaughton, Light & Arnold, 2002).
Contact with and information about individuals with disabilities has been shown to be effective in changing negative attitudes (Shaver, Curtis & Strong, 1989).
Reading personal accounts may be effective as a means of providing information and even approximating contact in order to change attitudes (Dal Cin, Zanna & Fong, 2004).
A Solomon Four-Group Design was used to study the effects of reading personal narratives written by an individual with complex communication needs on the attitudes, potential future behaviors, and general experiences of 109 undergraduate business majors (McCarthy, Donofrio-Horwitz, & Smucker, in press). The Attitudes Toward Nonspeaking Persons Scale (ATNP) and a scale of behavioral intentions modeled according to Azjen's (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior were used as dependent variables. A sub-group of individuals in the experimental group participated in individual follow-up interviews.
Results revealed individuals who read the narratives had more positive attitudes than those who did not; however, there were potentially reactive effects for pre-testing evident on one scale of the ATNP scale. Interviews revealed a need for more explicit information about the workings of AAC and a need to change expectations about working with individuals with disabilities.
Soundbeam is a device that translates movement into music. It uses an
ultrasonic beam to pick up motion within the field or range of the
beam. The motion is then carried back through the device as a product
of reflection, and then using MIDI technology, instructions for music
are written that coincide with the movements that were made. A computer
and/or music synthesizer then produces the music output according to
the movements originally detected by the ultrasonic beam of the
Vibroacoustic therapy is a novel therapy being researched for its efficacy with varying populations including individuals with severe disabilities.
The Soundbox can be used as part of a sensory room, or on its own. In addition to enabling people with hearing impairments to feel sound, it has a range of sensory uses that can be either relaxing or stimulating, depending upon the sounds/music used and the personalities of those exp eriencing the vibration.
Currently we are exploring possible theraputic applications as well as uses for the equipment to help individuals with disabilities express themselves in a creative way.

why do you need them and how to choose the best gun for home defense
Semi-automatic pistols are among the most popular types of guns for home defense. They are excellent for firing indoors and close quarters combat. They are also able to be concealed nearly anywhere, leaving many unaware that you actually have a firearm on you. Should the situation come to a struggle for the gun, they are the easiest to hang on to, which gives them an upper hand over rifles and shotguns which can have their barrel leveraged against you, and the gun taken from you. That fact alone makes semi-automatic pistols a great option for individuals that are looking to protect their home.
Semi-automatic pistols also allow you to fire from either hand, given an emergency. There is a reason why most of the world's military organizations choose to carry semi-automatic pistols with them. They are also the standard issue weapon of most police forces across the world.
Some of the more popular semi-automatic pistols include the Beretta M92 and the Rutger P series. These weapons are popular because the guns can be stored with the chamber loaded and the safety off, given the right situation. In the event that home defense is required, you will want to be able to quickly grab the weapon and fire. This is a feature that is present in auto-loading and semi-automatic pistols as well as double action revolvers, which are also commonly used for home defense.
There are a number of reasons why you should look into semi-automatic pistols for home defense, including:
Unfortunately, as with any weapon, there are a number of attributes of semi-automatic pistols that are disadvantageous to the user as well:
Typically, because of the drawbacks, these guns are not recommended for novice users and instead are recommended for experienced gun users. They do provide a number of advantages in terms of reloading time, but the fact that they are just not as reliable as other weapons makes them less than the best choices for home defense in most cases. Semi-automatic weapons do provide you with a weapon hat is easy to hang on to, and given that they are fired correctly (and not with a limp wrist), and are cared for properly, jamming is still unlikely.
You also must take your home and land into account when choosing a weapon for home defense. Identify the entrances to your home that pose the greatest risk, and determine the weapon that will give you the greatest advantage over intruders. The most important thing is that you become familiar with the gun that you choose, inside and out, so that you can quickly thwart dangerous situations and use the gun as it was intended; for home defense.

Not only did Mountain Pointe wrap up its second undefeated regular season last week, but the record book continues to be assaulted by individuals along some team marks as well.
For the first time in school history, a Mountain Pointe team threw for 300 yards, most of which came in the first half when Antonio Hinojosa was in the game, while Jalen Brown tied a record and broke two more in the win over Dobson.
It's nothing new for the Brown or Hinojosa, but they were reluctant to even talk about it with so much at stake over the next month.
"One day it will be good to look back see all that we did," Brown said. "Right now though, it's not important."
Here is a breakdown of some of the numbers.
Individual stats
Jalen Brown
* is tied for the most career touchdowns at 45 with Nic Lovett, who played from 1996-99.
* is the all-time leader with 274 points (Lovett had 270).
* has 169 career catches for 3,034 yards and 43 touchdowns, all school marks by a landslide.
* The 177 yards receiving he had against Dobson last week was third most in school history.
* The only receiving record for season, career and game he doesn't own is catches in a single game. His best is eight while the record is 10 set by Mike Collins in 1992.
* snagged his 15th career interception last week, breaking Collins' record of 14 set 1992-94.
* In all he owns or is tied for 12 records.
Antonio Hinojosa
* was the first in school history to break the-300 yard barrier as he tossed for 309 against Dobson last week. The previous record was 264 set by Hinojosa last year and Chad Whittle in 2001.
* is the all-time leader in touchdown passes in career (54) and season (31), most passing yards in a season (2,223) and career (3,885) and is on pace to finish with the season (69.1) and career (64.5) best completion percentages.
* his 23 touchdown passes THIS SEASON would tie for second place for most CAREER TDs in school history with Doug Szanto (1992-93).
* In all he owns eight school records.
Ryan Sheehan
* has the most career point after touchdowns at 146 (Jon Mora had 96 from 2007-09).
* he has the second most (62 last year) and third most (49 this year) PATs in a season.
* his nine career field goals are tied for third all time, three behind the school record owned by Kevin Kadisak (2010) and Brian Sellier (1994-95).
Wesley Payne
* he is expected back on defense this week and needs five unassisted tackles to set the career record currently held by Joey Leal (159 from 2008-09).
* owns the season record for unasssited tackles with 117 (2012).
Mitchell Fraboni
* four blocked kicks in a season are second in school history and second most in a career.
Team stats
* four shutouts are the most in school history, breaking last year's mark by one.
* 312 yards passing last week against Dobson were a school record, surpassing the total of 264 in 2002 against Red Mountain.
* 1,731 yards passing for the season are the second most in school history, topping 1,708 in 2010 in 13 games. The record of 2,372 set last season is within in reach if the Pride has an extended run.
* 501 points scored is the second most in school history behind last year's 589 but the average scoring mark of 50.1 is record, besting the mark of 36.8 set in 2009.
* 85 points given up is the fewest thus far with 137 (1998) the previous low.
* 71 touchdowns are second in school history behind the 81 scored last season.
* 4,242 yards of total offense ranks fourth in school history behind marks of 4,898 (2009), 5,057 (1995) and 5,720 (2012).
Of course, depending on how long the postseason run is for the Pride many of those can change. While all the team is really concerned about is winning, the history books are still fun to pore over and realize where they stand in the annals of the program.

A special evening away so I paid the additional money to upgrade to the top deck..
I wasn't informed that building works were being carried out along the corridor from our room. This included free Costa coffee ( 2 shachets only) and a bigger bed. Room and everything was lovely until the building work commenced at 8 am. We did complain and were refunded our upgrade amount so others please check before doing this.

Village Hotel Bournemouth
It was a nice clean quiet place id stay there again
Over Priced and Under Whelmed
Village Urban Resort Reading, A big chain with no personal touch.
From Arriving at the hotel it seemed an exercise for the staff to get more than the room price,
£2.50 to pay by credit card
£5.00 extra per day to use the gym (usually free at other chains)
Upgrade your room... for a fee. When paying nearly £100 a night i expect these little extras thrown in for free
It would also be nice to be acknowledged when you come in and out from the hotel but just blank looks. Room was nothing more than a standard £70 budget hotel which smelled of damp and mould stains around the bath/shower, the shower hose leaked so the bathroom was wet within few minuets and the one decent sized towel was not enough. The cheap hair & shower gel was a struggle to get out the pump and smelled so bad i would not was my dog in it. i thought id get a bit of luxury for the few extra pound but got a standard budget hotel

Very good room
Very good for everything except the pillows on the bed, they were paper thin.
Lovely place
First impressions are good on arrival , nice and spacious throughout.
Although the hotel is open to the public to use the sports facilities I didn't realise this when making a booking. Room was very good ,would have liked free entertainment of an evening as there is nothing to do only on set days.you need a car to get around as to far to walk to Bournemouth .overaul a pleasant stay ,but room for improvement.

Bank Holiday weekend
Rooms were clean and relatively modern looking, air con in our room was excellent.
the check in and out process was quick and efficient. the single lift could get busy at times. breakfast choice was excellent, although more staff are required to enable tables to be cleared quicker at busy times, and it did get quite stuffy on the Monday morning, remedied by a member of staff opening an exit door.

AMSTERDAM (Jan. 20)
The Labor Party has asked the Soviet Union to use its influence with Syria to help resolve the Israeli prisoner of war issue. The number of Israeli POWs in Syria is believed to be a little over 100, but many reports indicate that many of them may have been tortured or killed by the Syrians.
Syria has refused to release a list of its POWs and to allow Red Cross inspection of POW camps. Labor Party Chairman Andre van der Low told the Soviet Ambassador he is asking the Soviet Union to intervene "because I appreciate the positive role your government is playing in bringing about Israeli-Egyptian negotiations, and am convinced you will understand our view that the cloud created by the Israeli POWs in Syria must not threaten the peace climate in Geneva."

Where Has All The Money Gone?
A lot of us find ourselves asking "Where has all the money gone?" Mostly it's at the end of the month when there are still bills left to pay, gifts to buy or groceries needed.
Sometimes it's at the end of the year when we're doing taxes and see how much money we earned. But the most frightening time is after decades of work and you realize that you have little to show for the grind and time away from family.
If you really knew how much money had slipped down the drain, you'd be shocked. Sadly, most of us don't have a clue how much we've actually earned during our lifetimes so the truth of how much we've let slip through our fingers is hidden.
Are you brave enough to find out?
Here are four actions you can take to wake up to the truth, begin to plug the drain and grow your wealth.
#1: Find out how much you've earned in your lifetime
I first learned of this idea years ago when I read the book Your Money or Your Life*. It's a telling exercise and worth your time.
Start by finding out how much money you've made in your lifetime. This is important because it's impossible to fully appreciate how we're doing with money until you know how much you've earned compared to your net worth.
One way to get this information is to go back through all your tax records and tally up the reported income, but an easier way is to get the information from the Social Security Administration's web site.
Here's how:
- Go to the My Social Security page and create a log in. You will have to enter some personal information but for what it's worth, I felt comfortable enough with their system that I created an online account years ago.
- Open your personalized Social Security Statement. Look for the section titled Your Earnings Record, which lists your reported income from the first year your employer reported your income to the IRS. It will look something like this…
- Make sure you are sitting down first, then total up all of your reported earnings under the heading Your Taxed Medicare Earnings.
Most likely you'll find out that you've earned hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime…maybe even a million or more. And what do you have to show for it?
#2: Calculate your net worth
Basically, this is a tally of the value of what you own minus the debt you carry. Many people consider certain things as an asset that I don't.
For example, I don't consider a car an asset (it's a depreciating lump of metal) nor do I count jewelry or furniture as an asset because you rarely get its appraised value. And when you're selling, you're usually desperate and will sell for much less than it's actually worth. Of course, it's really only worth what someone is willing to pay!
Anyway, tally up the value of all of your assets:
- Savings accounts
- Checking accounts
- Retirement accounts
- A very conservative value of your home
Tally up all of your debts:
- Credit cards
- Auto loans
- Mortgage
- Personal loans
- Etc.
Subtract your debt from your assets to get your net worth. If this is the first time you've done this, you might find out that you have a negative net worth. Don't panic! You have to start somewhere and now you have the information to begin to gain control.
#3: Take a "Regret Test"
Think back to all the things that you have spent your money on and then run the list through a "regret test." Here's a sample from my list so you get an idea:
#4: Resolve to make some changes…
Don't beat yourself up. Nothing can change the past. You have what you have and the drain has the rest. But today you can resolve to make changes that will have a profound impact on your life going forward.
Most of us have some regrets about the way we've handled our money in the past and if we pay attention to our spending patterns, we might be able to stop some "habit" spending that really doesn't fit our values and start building wealth.
If I had been smarter with my money earlier, and saved and invested just a fourth of the money I blew, my net worth would be more than double what it is today and I could retire right now without a worry. Alas, I'm the type that learns the hard way so I'll have to put off retirement for now.
Do you know where your money has gone?
Have you done an exercise like this? Were you shocked at how much money you've made and how little you have to show for it? What did you do after the shock wore off? If you haven't done something like this, are you willing to give it a try?
Your contributions to the conversation here enrich the lives of all who read the post so I thank you in advance for being brave and speaking up!
