Your Ratcheting Ultimate sockets are made to be able to come apart so you can switch them out for the euro socket or just change out a worn socket down the road. There is a 1/16 inch hex screw which holds the socket in place on the main gear they have loctite and may need to be heated to loosen the bolt. If it becomes loose just reapply loctite and tighten down. Any questions just ask . Thanks Rob

United Arab Emirates continues as most prosperous Arab nation
The third edition of the Legatum Prosperity Index, published today, ranks 104 countries (covering 90% of the world's population), based on a definition of prosperity that combines economic growth together with measures of happiness and quality of life. At 47th, the UAE is the only Arab nation ranked in the top 50 for the second year running, thanks to strong scores in security and safety, and health. In contrast, several other Middle East and North African nations are clustered in the bottom quarter, such as Saudi Arabia (81st), Egypt, (88th), Iran (94th), Algeria (96th), and Yemen (102nd).
"The Legatum Prosperity Index is the world's only global assessment of wealth and wellbeing," said Dr. William Inboden, Senior Vice President of the Legatum Institute. "While several countries in the region are taking positive steps towards reform, the Prosperity Index demonstrates that the region still faces considerable challenges in developing its economic potential as well as improving the quality of life of its citizens," he continued. "There are some bright spots, such as relatively high ranks on Safety and Security for the UAE (18th) and Kuwait (24th). But to catch up to the rest of the world, most countries across the region should focus upon access to freedoms, economic factors, good governance, and the general well-being of their citizens, " concluded Dr. Inboden.
Key Findings from the 2009 Legatum Prosperity Index:
- Finland tops the Index, followed by Switzerland, Sweden, and Denmark; the United States is 9th and the United Kingdom is 12th.
- The UAE scores in the top global tier on Health (29th) and Safety and Security (18th), but in the lowest tier on Democratic Institutions (98th) and Social Capital (77th).
- Iran performs poorly across the board, and is near the global bottom in Governance (102nd) and Personal Freedom (101st).
- Egypt also lags far behind global averages, ranking near the bottom in Personal Freedom (95th) and Social Capital (100th).
- Jordan (80th overall) and Tunisia (68th overall) are in the middle tiers in Education, Health, Safety and Security, and Governance, indicating areas with potential for continued improvement.
- Despite its massive petroleum wealth, Saudi Arabia's overall rank (81st) suffers from very poor performances in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (81st), Democratic Institutions (101st), and Personal Freedom (98th).
- Yemen at 102nd overall continues to face major challenges, ranking in the bottom global tier in every category.
The Prosperity Index identifies nine key factors that drive economic growth and personal wellbeing, which are the foundations of prosperity. Each of these nine factors is represented in a sub-index and a country's final Prosperity Index ranking is generated by averaging its scores across all nine sub-indexes, equally weighted.

Title: Multimedia Careers
Students may be surprised that Computer Careers aren't all found under "Computer" in the Occupation Handbook. Students will conduct guided research of careers related to Multimedia Design and/or Multimedia Publication course objectives. They will then focus on one career. The goal is to present the information to someone who isn't familiar with the assignment, as if the student has picked a career and is defending his decision. They will create a presentation in free Google Docs to summarize information about the career, where to get training, accreditation, certification, and a job. This is a commerce and information technology lesson plan. This lesson should be taught near the end of the school year after students have had a taste of the various multimedia skills covered in the class. Students share the presentation and post a link to a Moodle database for easy access.
Standard(s): [IT] IT02 (9-12) 15: Determine career and entrepreneurial opportunities, responsibilities, and educational and credentialing requirements related to the multimedia publishing industry.

Okay, after I wrote that subject line I realized it was kind of morbid -- no, I am not dead. This is not a friend of mine writing my blog today to tell you all I have passed away.
The reason for the subject line is that I actually may not be posting anymore blogs soon ?
I am totally bummed as I love doing this every morning ?
The good news, though ? I actually got picked up to be an editor at Destructoid.com (because of this blog, in fact!)! I am so excited about this news because I have been a fan of that site for a while now!
I posted my first story on Saturday (under my real name Chad Concelmo ? ooooooh, the mystery is ruined! ). It wasn?t too exciting (it was about the new mediocre-looking Zorro game coming out for the Wii this Christmas), but if you want, you can check it out here.
I will probably post on this blog for the rest of this week and periodically in the future, but I am not sure how busy I will be ? so this week may be my last week for a while (ah, the memories) ?
Seriously, though, you guys have been so nice to even read my blog ? I really appreciate everything!
Please check out Destructoid whenever you have time ? it really is a super cool site and the other editors are awesome.

Help to Buy mortgage guarantee
Help to Buy will dramatically cut the time it takes for aspiring homeowners to achieve their homebuying goal.
We expect to help 25,500 homebuyers in the next three years. With an average mortgage of £140,000, the total lent by RBS and NatWest is likely to exceed £3.5bn.
Some people we interviewed about trying to buy a home have been trying to get onto the housing ladder for years, while others depend on help from their parents to save for a deposit.
Listen to the views of those looking to become homeowners
Guarantee backed mortgages
RBS and NatWest are among the first mortgage lenders to offer guarantee backed mortgages from the start of the scheme. We offer a range of competitive 95% mortgages only available to first and next time buyers through Help to Buy.
Ross McEwan RBS Group CEO
"We are committed to helping as many people as possible across Britain to get on with their lives, to buy their first home, to move to a bigger house as their family grows. That's why RBS fully support the Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme."

Fame and fortune are won and lost overnight in the notoriously fickle fashion industry. Success is rarely attained by newcomers because much more than raw talent and creative flair is needed to win the elusive support of fashion editors, department stores and boutiques.
Add to that the business nous required to carve a place in the global fashion industry for the long-term. Every candid designer admits that cash flow, sourcing and supply chain nightmares keep them in their studios until the early hours, but a steely determination to succeed not just in Australia but world-wide has them clinging on even through the tough times.
MySmallBusiness profiles three of Australia's hottest designers, reflects on their climb to 'It' status, and asks them what keeps them awake at night. Their rise, on the surface, seems a breeze. Reality makes for a much more potted story of sheer hard work.
ALICE McCALL
When Alice McCall left fashion darling Sass & Bide to start her own fashion label in 2004, celebrities couldn't get enough of her clothes. Having worked as a stylist to the stars in the UK for ten years, she had the contacts to get Kate Moss and Natalie Imbruglia wearing her designs.
Her label was hot and she couldn't meet demand fast enough. ''I was selling to Barneys myself in a hotel room,'' McCall says.
It was a start that most newcomers only dream about, but McCall says the fast growth was a poisoned chalice.
''We grew very big quite quickly and we didn't have the infrastructure to service our accounts. The production, the cash flow, getting the orders there on time, the currency differences, working towards the next season. All of that has to be managed.''
McCall has since scaled back, built a team of business and production managers, outsourced distribution, developed a media and marketing strategy, and moved to Bali where she can work closely with her seven seamstresses.
She says business has never been better. Her self-named label sells across Europe and the USA, the Middle East, New Zealand, Japan and Australia. Any day now the Alice McCall online store will start trading.
''I've spent the last year rebuilding the foundations. I've learned that it's good to grow slowly and strategically because it's much better to learn when you're small. You can afford to make mistakes,'' McCall says.
With high-profile stockists and fashion shows in New York and London, the stakes are high. One or two slip-ups, late deliveries or botched orders and McCall would very publicly fall from grace.
To minimise the risk of things going wrong, McCall outsources and delegates wherever she can. Independent agents handle both sales and distribution overseas, and take a cut of between 10 and 20 per cent of every order. They are also responsible for managing the relationship with stockists.
This is a lesson learned. "If you decide to manage distribution yourself, you end up chasing the buyers for money. I'm not in business to be a debt collector,'' McCall says.
A business manager advises on the running of the business, and a production manager watches the costs. ``I might fall in love with a fabric that costs $40 a metre but I can't start designing without working out whether we would make any money on it. We've got to look at all of the costs, including labelling and personnel,'' McCall says.
Now that the online store is ready to launch, a flagship store is on the cards. McCall plans for the first boutique to open in Bali and the second to open in Australia.
In the meantime, McCall will keep designing and building the brand. She says leaving comments on blogs and online forums is a clever way to market. "You don't have to spend $15,000 to $150,000 on a fashion show to build your brand. Blogs are a clever alternative, and they're free.''
Yeojin Bae was barely known in Australia when her entire collection was snapped up by exclusive department store Barneys in New York. In 2006, after just 10 months in business she had snared 90 stockists, including the prestigious Harvey Nichols in Dubai and Matches in London. It was a fairytale debut.
Three years later, Bae has learned to put a leash on fast growth and say no to opportunities that aren't quite right. She talks about five year plans, ten year plans, and longevity, and says fashion isn't just about runways and design.
It is wisdom that has come from experience. A self-confessed control freak, with a reputation for personally checking that every garment that leaves her Melbourne studio is faultless and on time, Bae says she has learned to take a step back and ask experts for advice.
''I now take the time to make sure I'm fully informed about the business side of things. Having said that, I still make my own decisions. I trust my gut instinct,'' Bae says.
At 33, Bae already has 18 years of experience in the fashion industry. She talked her way into a degree at Sydney's Whitehouse Institute of Design when she was 15 (the minimum age is 16) and has worked with some of the biggest names in fashion - Marc Jacobs and Anna Sui in New York, and Marcs, Charlie Brown, and Saba in Australia.
The story behind her first sale to Barneys is remarkable. Two months after launching her self-named label in 2006, Bae packed her sample collection and flew to Europe to meet agents and distributors. When a stream of emails to buyers in the US went unanswered, she got creative. A friend of Bae's handed her the mobile number for Barneys' vice president and head of buying at the youth-oriented Co-Op stores, and Bae arranged a 15 minute meeting to show him her designs. He ordered for six stores on the spot, and before the clothes had even arrived in New York, Barneys had increased the order to 16 stores.
It was a gutsy strategy that Bae says would have been foolhardy without years of preparation. ``I had been travelling three times a year for the last decade. I knew where I sat in each market, what my price point should be, what my point of difference was. You've got to do your research before you approach these stores,'' Bae says.
The tough economic climate is hitting retailers hard, particularly in export markets, but Bae says sales have been unaffected. While she has lost some buyers, others that were buying more exclusive brands such as Chanel and Dior are now looking to buy clothes in her price range.
''In the US, consumers are looking at labels like mine and saying, `This is one-fifth of what we were about to spend on a Chloe dress, but it's just as good quality.' It's a nice market to sit in to weather storm,'' Bae says.
Closer to home, Bae opened her first showroom and retail store in Melbourne's Prahran in 2008. Unlike most flagship stores, it is only open three days a week and it is hidden from the street. This was by design. Bae says it adds to the brand's exclusivity.
''Customers can book to spend 1-2 hours there looking at the entire collection. I would love to develop a conventional retail store and this is one step closer to that ambition,'' Bae says.
Few pregnant women would voluntarily leave a well paid, high profile job to start their own fashion business, especially when maternity leave is at stake. But for Alexandra Smart, the discovery that she was pregnant just days after resigning from her job in magazine publishing was a "sliding doors moment''.
"It was now or never. My sister Genevieve and I had been talking for 18 months about starting a business together. Genevieve had the creative-design experience and I had the business experience. We wanted to pull together to make it work,'' Alexandra Smart says.
The pair put in months of planning before they launched their fashion label Ginger & Smart in 2002. With marketing knowledge and an MBA behind them, they gave careful thought to the brand and product mix, what they wanted the brand to represent, and where they wanted the brand to be in five to ten years' time.
Being strategic has paid off. Seven years later, Ginger & Smart is stocked in the United Kingdom, Italy, Denmark, Russia, the United States and across Asia. In Australia, Ginger & Smart have opened three company-owned stores and sell to 39 retailers.
They started out slow and steady with a range of scented candles for high-end luxury stores. Genevieve initially kept her day job as head designer at Lisa Ho while Alexandra built relationships with a few fashion and lifestyle retailers that the pair wanted to pitch their brand to.
''The first season we were in five stores. The second season we were in 15 stores. We listened very closely to what the key customers were asking us for, and took on board their opinions and views when we designed the next range,'' Alexandra says.
The aim was to prove their brand early on. They focused on delivering high-end products of consistent quality on time.
''In the early days that was so important. It didn't matter whether we were delivering candles or scarves. By the time we moved into fashion and accessories retailers trusted us,'' Smart says.
Having built a consumer following through retail stockists, the pair upped the ante by launching their own flagship store in Sydney's Paddington in 2006 and underneath the prestigious Ivy bar in Sydney in 2008. Their third store opened near Palm Beach in Sydney this year.
Company-owned retail stores are the best way to showcase the brand, according to Genevieve. They also keep the pair's finger on the pulse.
''In fashion you have to be aware of the market and what customers want. Retail stores give you that insight. You can listen and watch what customers are looking for, then weigh that up with your instinct,'' Smart says.
In a tough economic climate knowing what customers want is vital. While the sisters say sales have not significantly decreased, customers expect more for their money than they ever have.
''At the high end of the market, customers are really thinking about their purchases. They are quite demanding. They want the product to be lots of things, including innovative and good quality,'' Smart says.

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Mepron. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

- Shake gently before each use.
- Use a measuring device marked for medicine dosing. Ask your pharmacist for help if you are unsure of how to measure your dose.
- To clear up your infection completely, take Mepron for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days.
- If you miss a dose of Mepron, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Mepron.

- Mepron may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Mepron with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Be sure to use Mepron for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
- Lab tests, including complete blood cell counts and liver function tests, may be performed while you use Mepron. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Mepron should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.

Inauguration of the exhibition "Reconstruction of the Memory of Poland"
Speech by Terry Davis, Council of Europe Secretary General
Strasbourg, 10 November 2004
I am particularly delighted to be here, at the opening of the exhibition "Reconstruction of the Memory of Poland". I am delighted because it is our Organisation, the Council of Europe, which approved, in 1998, the pilot programme aimed at finding and bringing together the archive documents on Polish history, which were scattered throughout our continent. It is the result of this work that we see today.
The history of Poland is intricately linked with the turbulent history of the rest of Europe. The history of our continent is like a mosaic. With even one piece missing, one cannot see and appreciate the whole picture.
This mosaic has some dark colours as well. Over centuries, historical archives in Poland, as in many other countries, were hard hit by wars, partitions, occupations, waves of emigration, and changing regimes. Records were destroyed or left the country, either spirited away by the former occupiers or, in a non-physical shape, departing with émigrés who themselves became repositories of history.
The aim of the project before you today was to fill the gaps and provide an opportunity for the Polish nation to become acquainted with the information sources of its own history, over the period from the 18th century up to 1945. The search took Polish archivists to Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine – a panoply of countries which proves once again the historical interdependence of our continent.
As a result, some missing pieces of the mosaic are now in place, making the picture of our common history more complete. I hope that the knowledge gained, and the techniques applied in carrying out this project will help other countries, in Europe and elsewhere, to reconstruct their own historical memories.
I particularly want to congratulate our Polish friends on the successful completion of this programme, and I also congratulate them on the opening of this exhibition on the very day on which we are celebrating the start of the Polish chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers.

The language is also known as Kurru basha or Kulavatha and is closely related to Ravula and Irula, and more distantly related to Tamil. The Yerukula people call themselves Kurru: the name Yerukula comes from their women's traditional profession of fortune telling (eruka cheputa).
This is a script for Yerukula devised by Professor Prasanna Sree.

Enterprise staff
LIVINGSTON -- When a monthly bill doubles in amount, it could be a cause for concern. When it happens twice in six years, it is probable that many will be upset. The citizens of Texas Landing and Magnum Estates near Livingston are attempting to fight off an increase in monthly water and sewer bills that would have them pay what Texas Landing Property Owners Association President John Hillbrand calls an "injustice." "It happened about six years ago and it was supposed to be effective on the Jan. 26 bill we got a couple weeks ago, but it actually did not go into effect and we didn't know why," Hillbrand said. "We haven't had a rate increase for six years and that is kind of odd in itself, but now the sewer rates are increasing almost 400 percent and we're going to have a water bill that's higher than the electric bill. We haven't really received an explanation, (Texas Landing Utilities) just submits their application to TCEQ (Texas Commission of Environmental Quality), the regulatory authority, and we're going to have to try to request a hearing." The rate changes this time could be considered steep. The base sewer charge will change from $30.14 (including 0 gallons) to $58.45 (including 0 gallons). This includes a change in the charges from $3.18 per 1,000 gallons to $15.67 per 1,000 gallons. The base water charge will go from $32.20 (including 0 gallons) to $49.40 (including 0 gallons), which also includes a change in charges from $2.36 per 1,000 gallons to $3.31 per 1,000 gallons. Multiple attempts to reach Texas Landing Utilities Owner David Sheffield for a reason on the sharp increases were unsuccessful. However, Hillbrand said the conflict is one that goes back to 2007, when the residents' case was heard the first time. "We requested a hearing on the rate increase six years ago," Hillbrand said. "Not only did we not get much of a decrease, but we were accessed the legal fees and expenses of the utility company. It was over $200,000 in legal fees that each resident in Texas Landing is having to pay now over the next seven years. It's on our bill every month. "That is why everyone is kind of hesitant to get another hearing; we're kind of gunshy on the situation. That is what the administrative law judge with TCEQ accessed us, the utility company's legal fees and expenses. I tried to go around to get another petition signed to request another hearing, because we don't want to just accept this thing, but people are pretty hesitant to do that. We're still paying for the last one. "I get a lot of complaints about the quality of water. Hardly anybody in the subdivision will drink the water, but that is a whole different issue. Right now, we just have to deal with the rates. I got a call from Representative James White. We've contacted him about this and he asked me if we would rather have the hearing with the Public Utilities Commission rather than TCEQ. I told him I'm not familiar with the Public Utilities Commission, but we have not had a good experience with TCEQ. If we have that option, we would rather do that. "Like most utilities, TLU is a monopoly and the residents have no alternative for other water providers. Our only recourse currently is the TCEQ review. The TCEQ criteria is that the rate increase request must be 'just and reasonable.' It is pretty subjective, but our residents certainly do not feel that a 393 percent increase in sewer usage rates is reasonable." According to Hillbrand and White, the first step is an informal mediation hearing to find if an agreement can be made. When an entity files a rate case, TCEQ looks at it on a preliminary basis. If they see nothing wrong with the case, the rate increase automatically goes into effect. Ratepayers can get signatures together within 30-60 days and protest, which will start an administrative process that eventually ends in a formal hearing with an administrative law judge. Senator Robert Nichols was on the last session's Sunset Commission. In 1977, the Texas Legislature created the Sunset Advisory Commission to identify and eliminate waste, duplication, and inefficiency in government agencies. Nichols was instrumental in having the sewer and water rate setting responsibility transferred from the TCEQ to the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). This transfer of rate setting responsibility will not occur until Sept. 1 of this year, but the Texas Legislature authorized the PUC to begin representing residential and small business sewer and water utility customers in September of 2013. "Because of the feedback I received from East Texans, I passed legislation last session to improve water and wastewater rate regulation," Nichols said. "As a member of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, I will continue to monitor the Texas Landing Utility rate case. It is my goal to ensure the ratepayers are treated fairly. " White said he did not know a reason for the large increase. He too is in favor of the Texas Landing and Magnum Estates residents receiving a new venue for the hearing. "I am not in a position to know why they are asking for what they are asking," White said. "Obviously, no one has had a 166 percent pay increase or anything like that. This past session, Senator (Robert) Nichols was very successful in getting these water rate case hearings over into the Public Utilities Commission. Many of us believe that the Public Utilities Commission is in a better position to be able to evaluate rate cases. TCEQ is primarily a regulatory agency, so we're thinking if you can get those rate cases over to PUC (Public Utilities Commission), they'll get a better vetting. "We are assisting the residents in Texas Landing and making sure they are afforded the full due process of the administrative rate case hearing. I've been to these on other occasions. What my office is doing is we've already contacted the Public Interest Council at the TCEQ and we have told the TCEQ we want the Public Interest Council to provide the optimum level of assistance and defense to the residence of Texas Landing. Also, my office is exploring an idea where this case can automatically get taken over to the PUC and that's the process that is going to go into effect this September. "This is what happens when a utility has a near monopoly and I've dealt with this situation before with Ivanhoe over in Tyler County. What the folks at Texas Landing can expect from State Representative White is that we will ensure that the full due process is afforded to them. I think if it's afforded to them, it should come out in a reasonable manner."

text: J(ohn) Gresham Machen (1881-1937), was a scholar, theologian, and fundamentalist Presbyterian leader. Machen was born into a wealthy Baltimore lawyer's family with deep roots in the Old South. Schooled in a private academy, Machen attended the new Johns Hopkins University where he finished as class valedictorian. Machen enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1902 to see whether theological education suited him. Simultaneously earning a master's in philosophy at the University and a B.D. from the Seminary in 1905, Machen headed to Germany in the fall of 1905 to spend a year at Marburg and Göttingen universities. Upon his return to the United States he accepted a position teaching New Testament at Princeton Seminary. Although specializing as an instructor in Greek, Machen increasingly found his calling in battling the inroads of theological liberalism within Presbyterianism and the wider Protestant realm–despite his lack of endorsement of many popular fundamentalist beliefs such as dispensationalism and his opposition to Prohibition. Machen's major contribution to the modernist-fundamentalist controversy came with the 1923 publication of his book, Christianity and Liberalism, wherein he argued that liberalism was, in effect, a wholly new religion distinct from historic Christianity. Continuing to play a prominent role in inter-Presbyterian conflicts, Machen eventually led a troupe of younger faculty members and conservative Princeton trustees in seceding and establishing Westminster Theological Seminary in 1929. While heading up Westminster, Machen continued his scholarly work and in 1930 published a major defense of the biblical birth narratives in The Virgin Birth. Developments in the Presbyterian Church in the mid-1930s convinced him that liberal elements were gaining the upper hand and he threw his support behind an Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions, leading to a 1935 trial in an ecclesiastical court and suspension from the ministry. In reaction, Machen played a major role in organizing a secessionist church named the Presbyterian Church in America (later renamed the Orthodox Presbyterian Church) in 1936. Machen's example as both a stubborn and relentless opponent to modernism, as well as his use of sound scholarship to argue his case, would prove to be an important influence upon the rise of a new, engaged evangelical movement in the 1940s. For further reading see Bradley J. Longfield, The Presbyterian Controversy: Fundamentalists, Modernists, and Moderates (Oxford, 1991), and D.G. Hart, Defending the Faith: J. Gresham Machen and the Crisis of Conservative Protestantism and Modern America (Johns Hopkins, 1994).

A former army chef who raped and murdered a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Fleet in the early 1980s has failed to persuade top judges that he was the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
Tony Jasinskyj, 57, was a lance corporal stationed in Aldershot in June 1981 when he strangled 14-year-old Marion Crofts, after sexually attacking her as she cycled by the Basingstoke Canal in the army town.
Jasinskyj escaped detection until he was brought to justice by advances in DNA forensic technology almost two decades later.
He was jailed for life after being convicted of rape and murder at Winchester Crown Court in May 2002.
On Wednesday (July 2), Lady Justice Macur, Mr Justice Phillips and Judge Neil Ford QC, sitting at London's Criminal Appeal Court, heard him argue that the scientific evidence which saw him convicted was flawed.
The court heard that Marion, who played the clarinet, was on her way from her Fleet home to band practice when she was raped and killed by Jasinskyj and her body dumped in bushes.
A "perfect match" was discovered in 2001 between DNA taken from Jasinskyj and that found on Marion's body.
The match was so perfect that experts found there was less than a one in a billion chance of Jasinskyj not being the attacker.
At the time of the murder he was stationed less than a mile-and-a-half away, in army married quarters with his pregnant wife.
His application for permission to appeal against conviction focused on an irregularity in the DNA profile, which experts at the time of his trial explained by reasoning that stray DNA from his victim had been left behind and mixed in with the sample.
Jasinskyj, of Kegworth Avenue, Evington, Leicester, argued this was not the case, but that the anomoly indicated the attacker had been suffering from a chromosome disorder.
That, Jasinskyj argued, exonerated him.
However, Mr Justice Phillips described his grounds of appeal as "fanciful", and the killer's "fixation on an anomaly" could not explain away the otherwise perfect DNA match between himself and the attacker.
His application for permission to appeal was refused, and the judge concluded that his conviction was "entirely safe".

Ratings agency Standard & Poor's has lowered its growth forecast for the Indian economy to 5.5 per cent from 6.5 per cent for the year ending March 31, despite recent moves to attract capital by opening the aviation and retail sectors to greater foreign investment.
According to MoneyControl.com, S&P has cut its outlook on India's sovereign rating of BBB- to negative from stable in April, while it has also lowered its growth forecast for China to 7.5 per cent.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh looks poised to take further measures to boost the economy, however, the Times of India reports.
Following moves to allow foreign airlines to invest up to 49 per cent in local ventures and to allow multi-brand retailers like Walmart to invest up to 51 per cent in local stores, Singh is readying a plan to loosen banking restrictions to allow banks to loan more money to real estate firms – in a bid to boost the employment-generating construction sector.
Educational loans are also reportedly going to get easier, the paper said.
Meanwhile, the government is likely to announce an increase in the cap on foreign investment in the insurance sector to allow foreign players to buy up to 49 per cent in local ventures, rather than the current limit of 26 per cent, Zee News reports.

A leveling-off of immigration rates means that California is not likely to reach 50 million residents until 2046, about 14 years later than previously expected, according to an analysis by the University of Southern California.
The last official projection, issued five years ago by the state Department of Finance, estimated that the Golden State would hit the 50 million mark in 2032.
"This is surely good news for local governments and taxpayers who are struggling to keep up with the costs of growth," says Dowell Myers, co-author of the report. "These projections suggest there is more time to plan a much better future for California."
READ: The full report
The report by the USC PopDynamics Research Group finds that the total percentage of Californians who are foreign-born is expected to stay at 27% of the total population for 18 years, in sharp contrast to the marked rise in the previous two decades.
The analysis also estimates that growth among California's seniors, those 65 and older, will quadruple within the next 20 years.
Among the main working-age population, from 25 to 64, growth is expected to slow, which means that almost all of the projected growth will come from native-born children of immigrants, or second-generation immigrants.
"The new generation of workers, taxpayers and home buyers will have been California-educated with the support of California taxpayers, unlike in past decades when many workers were imported from other states or nations," the report says.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dunkers
August 18, 2014—Fearlessly Archived—Still a fun read; price & availability may have changed.
Back in the late '90's (that's 1990's), we made a request of one of our longtime cookie suppliers: create a cookie that could easily be dunked in coffee or milk without soaking your fingers, and that wouldn't crumble when you took a bite. And Dunkers were born. Trader Joe's Chocolatey Coated Chocolate Chip Dunkers are a dunker family favorite. The basic cookie, crispy, crunchy chocolate chip. The bottom of each Dunker is dunked in a chocolatey coating, lending a creamy finish that still works well dunked in coffee, tea, or milk. You might also serve these Dunkers with ice cream - whether served alongside, banana split style, or crumbled atop your scoop, this is always a successful pairing.
We're selling each 24 ounce tub (about 36 cookies) of Chocolately Coated Chocolate Chip Dunkers for $4.99.

Fucking religion..well to all you religiuos cretins shove whatever reiligios doctrine right up your arses..how dare people think that if human being does something for another human being it is done in the name of their own religious belief..what a load of bollocks..been reading the posts and there is a few that have jumped on the bandwagon..oh!! they must be christian!!..they are behaving like christians ...you lot just fuck right off..fucking idiots..
There is such a thing as human love and compassion..this is the highest of what it is to be human ..it dosent need some religious doctrine ..or scoring points for the afterworld ..
At the end of the day ...this caring is what got us thus far in eveolution...albeit its waning now...but there are still people that have that spark of humanity..
And you fucking lot ..oh!! "thats aweful..I must do something" is that to salve your own concious..where the fuck have you lot been all this time..stuff like this is not new..and yes I have and am still doing my bit ..and not in the name of any religion...it feels right to me ...not going to make a difference in the scheme of things but its ..something.....
So people you see a film that moves you..get of your arses and do something...don't leave until tomorrow..becaus ebelieve me you will forget..and not be arsed..and..do it not in the name of any religion..do something because that as a human being is what you should be doing..as a decent human being
And any fucker that comes up that says "You are a good Christian/Muslim?whatever tell them to blow their shitty religion out of their arses and fuck off"..
what we do to help each other makes sure we survive in the future...because any god isn't going to help us...no jesus, god allah..because in my opinion..they are all figments of imagination..something to blame or ask forgiveness for..
And its all total bollocks is religion..the religious fucking idiots are imho...monkings pray to and throwing rocks at the moon!!

I sincerely apologize.
This man is a wonderful human being.
Whatever inspires him to do this, only he knows.

I'm just grateful that he is.

Room was spacious and clean. Staff was friendly. Definitely met my expectation. Worth the money.
Plenty of storage space for your luggage, and really nice that a refrigerator is included in the room. In order to control the temperature In the room you had to stand on a chair to reach the air conditioner that was placed up near the ceiling. You could turn it on and off with the switch on the wall but in order to change the temperature settings you had

The owners were great!!! The rain that day ! Lol
It was reasonably clean. Parking was free. We changed our stay from two nights to one and they gave us a refund for the second night. A very loud train whistle woke us up several times during the night, so getting a good night's sleep was difficult. The curtains did not block the outdoor light at night. Getting a wifi signal was difficult & when we finally did it was quite slow.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
I was a little bit nervous about staying in a cheap motel but for the price it was great!
The room was pretty clean. The train comes by every hour and blows its whistle extremely loud. The staff was very rude!!
quiet no
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Bed was comfortable,liked the wood looking floor, better then carpets that most hotels and motels have. gentleman on the evening we checked in was very nice. shower stall had black stuff coming up from drain, was backing up, shower head too low, and corner shower stall too small for the average person, no hair drier, parking lot had alot to be desired, seemed more like a truck stop truckers motel. im sure used for quickies for local people.Girl at desk in morning of june 22 needed an attitude adjustment.
nothing the room was dirty and smelly. it was also very hard to find
The people who ran the motel were extremely nice, really, they couldn't have been kinder. They did the best they could with that place. The experience of staying at the motel was excruciating- the people in the next room had their tv on all night, and the walls were so thin I could also hear all their arguments as well as the programs. I didn't sleep much, of course. The motel is in a very bad neighbourhood, and all night there were people outside our door horking and spitting, and drinking and swearing, There was also hardly any water coming out of the showerhead. It was horrible, but we were stuck there because we had reservations and it was late.
Nothing Everything
the door in my room was hard to open and close all the way
It was extremely clean and remodeled. Staff was very friendly. Easily the best value in the pittsburgh area. Didn't bother me, but the floor was wooden, shower was very low, and no shampoo...but for the price this is an extreme value and I will be staying there again!
Clean easy. Cheap. Tiny shower. Made for 5 ft or smaller. No shampoo...
The staff was very friendly. I got a good nights sleep once I was able to fall asleep. The fan in the bathroom was very loud.
No tub. Only showe with low pressure and small stall. Had to cancel next nights stay and go to Coreapolis, PA Motel 6 which was much better.
Very friendly staff There was a roach in the room and very shady people staying there. we felt unsafe and actually left a day early.
The employees were very nice. The room was clean enough but all the contents were very old and worn. It was off of the highway enough that it was quiet. For $49.99 I wasn't expecting a whole lot. It definitely screamed cheap motel. Absolutely no amenities other than a bar of soap. The shower head was down so low in the shower my 6 foot son had to wash his hair on his knees. Room was clean but old.
The beds were extremely comfortable. The room was clean. The heat had been on full blast when we got there. The room was at least 80-90 degrees. But at least we knew the heat worked!
Notta... Upon check in, the young Indian desk clerk gave us a 12 PM check out time. The next morning we were harrasssed several times starting at 11 AM [by a guy who looked like Boris Karloff] about "...get out - check out is 11 AM!" We explained that we in no way wished to stay as long as we had [Steelers had the city booked solid]! I'd " rather drink muddy water - sleep in a hollow log..." The water was brown...
Quiet location , good value.
It was near to the international airport, the room was clean and big enough. there was supposed to have breakfast but that consisted in a coffee...and the soundproofing between the rooms doesn't exist (but it was quiet enough to sleep the night we were here).
clean room, felt safe, right off the interstate, friendly manager very basic, if that's what you're looking for, it's a good place to stay with adequate price/quality ratio
The guy at the front desk was very friendly and knew how to make change which was helpful to us. The hotel room was dirty, small blood stains on bed, under mattress ripped with stuffing coming out of it, the vending machines did not work, the bed was way too small, motel 6 right next door looked much nicer and advertised a cheaper price but we couldn't cancel our reservations after 12:00 when we saw the condition of the room. we tried to make the best of a bad situation.
I liked the Price and the fact it was off on its own. The driveway has a huge pothole, they have free internet due to them stealing from neighboring hotel, no poke stops, no elevator, and only one way to top floor.
Everything in the room (T.V. towels, blanket etc...) is old and dirty. Bathroom plumbing is poor. Computer in lobby does not provide internet. Internet in room is very slow. Complimentary breakfast is very minimal. No customer service, unfriendly Would not recommend staying here. Surprised that it is associated with Kayak and Expedia etc...
Nothing at all Everything. Dirty, unfriendly, room freezing, bed not flat, linens dirty. A horrible place that should not be associated with trace lodge or Kayak
At least there was a microwave oven in my room. The hole in the wall. The broken desk chair. Standing water left in the shower tub. The moldy mildew-soap-scum left all over the shower tub enclosure.
I did not like a single thing. Eveything. The linen and towels were stained, the room smelled like a meth lab, the dresser had a broken drawer, patched holes in the wall also. I'm pretty sure there was a huge drug deal going on in the room next to us. My girlfriend and I stayed for about an hour. Most of that hour was spent looking for a new place to stay. Worst place ever.
mostly good old shower
Very clean. The bed was uncomfortable.
Concierge was very kind and captured a few stink bugs for us Stink bugs!
Staff was accommodating and pleasant rooms were fair. Breakfast wasn't much to write home about limited area could use more pillows better description of location it's not on Golden Mile Hyw
Hotel Staff, Location. Hotel and Room were very worn. Room was clean, but again was worn. I was beside some group that had taken a room to Party on a Sunday night. There must have been 20 people going in and out of the room and they were using the side door (that should have been locked), to let others in. No respect as to the noise and they kept trying to open the connecting door to my room. The management did warn the group but they ignored them. I had to leave the room due to my safety and the need to sleep at 1am. I asked for, and was given another room by the management with no hassle.
Nothing The room were dirty stained floors and had a horrible smell. Thank goodness we were only there for the night.
I don't know what the negative reviews are talking about. My room was extremely clean and very nicely decorated. I was happy with it the moment I opened the door. I didn't get any kind of special room either, it was just the cheapest one I could find. The mattress was at the point where it needed to be replaced. If it wasn't for that, I'd have no complaints.
Very clean! Location was OK. Breakfast was good and staff was helpful. The mattress was terrible! The noise from the interstate kept my wife awake.
All amenities were exactly as described (free wifi, fridge and microwave in room, good selection of tv channels, standard but perfectly adequate breakfast options). The beds and the fridge/microwave were very clean and appealing, and the staff were all very nice. Location was quiet, but near lots of food and shopping options (including within walking distance). The floor of my room seemed like it had barely been cleaned in quite some time, and this was generally true throughout the motel. Walls are also quite thin, and a snoring neighbor kept me up all night (this may have been worse because I was in a room with an adjoining door). Overall still a very good stay for the money.
The price was the only thing that was good The staff doesn't speak or understand English very well...was very rude and unfamiliar with American culture and or way....couldn't check into my room till after I became very aggressive flight got in at 2:30am had to sit in my car for 10 hours till 3on same day WHY???? Will never stay there again or recommend anyone....
Nothing at all The first room they placed us in was dirty, the bed was full of stains. We moved to a different room and it was the same thing. Once we got to the third room the bed was cleaner but the heat barely worked.

Ob-Gyn questions? Ask a gynecologist online.
Thank you so much for your question. It is my privilege to be able to help you.
How long ago was the hysterectomy? When do you feel the cramps? Please tell me, I would love to help you with your problem. Dr. SaulJE
Thanks for the additional information. There are several possibilities, but since the surgery was three months ago, but is possible that you may have developed a hematoma (collection of blood) or an abscess (an infected collection of fluid) within your pelvis. This would explain your symptoms. The next step is for your doctor to order a CT scan of your pelvis to make sure there is nothing like this remaining inside.
Other possibilities include scar tissue formation, retained surgical instruments, but this (retained instruments, not scar tissue) should be found on a CT scan as well.
I hope this was helpful to you. If it was, please remember to ACCEPT the answer so i can get compensated for my work. if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. i am truly privileged to help you, and i want to make sure that you are satisfied with your answer. Good luck! Dr. SaulJE

Reviews of this property
Jeannie and Skates home is a lovley place. The pictures do not lie, the garsen ia beautiful, the view is amazing. Rhe hosts took care of everything, we were even invited to join a barbeque. I would go there again for sure.
We LOVED Skate and Jeannie's magical house and garden.
Fantastic view over SF and the Golden gate bridge
We stayed for 3 days and everything was perfect. Jason helped us with everything.
We only have positive things to say about our stay.
Will 100 % recommend this place
Really great!
The room was exactly as stated in the description. A folder is ready, in which information and insider tips and assistance for public transportation and restaurant tips are etc.abgeheftet for guests. The garden and the view of the city is spectacular. Very hospitable and warmly we were received. One also gets the opportunity mitzunutzen not only the room and the garden, but also the kitchen. Unfortunately, we were too short in attendance to have our hosts closer to get to know. Should we again come to San Francisco, so Jeannie and skate would be our 1st choice for an overnight stay. We can only recommend nights at Jeannie and skate. Thank You Very Much !!!
Wirklich toll!
Das Zimmer war genau so, wie in der Beschreibung angegeben. Eine Mappe liegt für die Gäste bereit, in denen Informationen und Insider-Tipps sowie Hilfen für öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sowie Restaurant-Tipps etc.abgeheftet sind. Der Garten und der Blick über die Stadt ist sensationell. Sehr gastfreundlich und herzlich wurden wir aufgenommen. Man bekommt auch die Möglichkeit, nicht nur das Zimmer und den Garten, sondern auch die Küche mitzunutzen. Leider waren wir zu kurz anwesend, um unsere Gastgeber näher hätten kennenlernen zu können. Sollten wir nochmal nach San Franzisko kommen, so würden Jeannie und Skate unsere 1. Wahl für eine Übernachtung sein. Wir können Übernachtungen bei Jeannie und Skate nur empfehlen. Herzlichen Dank!!!
The best place to stay I can imagine! Jeannie and Skate are super friendly, the room is bright and beautiful, and so is the magnificent garden including the phantastic view over SF! Thanks, I will be back!
accommodation at Skate and Jeannie I can highly recommend !!!! We liked it just fine. I thank you for the nice days !!!
Warm greetings from Germany. Mona
die Unterkunft bei Skate und Jeannie kann ich sehr empfehlen !!!! es hat uns prima gefallen. Ich danke Euch für die schönen Tage!!!
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland. Mona
Jeannie and Skate's House is one of the best place in SF. You are like "at home", with friendly relation and total liberty. The garden and the view are amazing. We've had the pleasure to listen Skate play guitar with friends and the occasion to talk with so different people. We stay five days and it was great moments. Thank you so much Jeannie and Skate. Hope have an occasion to see you again.
Jean-Pierre et Virginie
The stay was great. The outlook also.
Towels were not daily as at the motel.
But we were still very satisfied!
Der Aufenthalt war super. Der Ausblick ebenfalls.
Handtücher waren nicht täglich neu wie im Motel.
Aber wir waren trotzdem sehr zufrieden!
we highly recommend Jeannie and Skate,
they are very nice and friendly people and made us feel at home, they provided a lot of very helpful advice (good restaurants and places to go)
the room is spacious and the garden is really magical with an incredible view. As talking of view, the house is located at Bernal heights, only a few hundred meters away from the best viewpoint of whole San Francisco, where you can enjoy a 360 degree view of the whole town, a bus stop is right across the street, and there are good restaurants and grocery shops in walking distance, so really all you could wish for
Bill and I so appreciated Jeannie and Skate for opening their home to us for our stay in SF. The back yard is an oasis in the city and we spent a lot of time enjoying the view as well as the creative endeavors of our hosts. Having another couple there from Germany also added to the incredible flavor of our stay.
thanks Jeannie and Skate.

The rain showers and wind gusts expected later today here will probably pale compared to the musical storm now hitting San Diego in the highly animated form of the all-star Janusz Prusinowksi Trio.
The five-man band -- "Trio" returns to a recurring three-beat rhythmic figure in its music, not the number of musicians in the group -- made its U.S. debut at Carnegie Hall several years ago. On Thursday, the Trio opens the four-day EUropean Jazz @ UCLA Festival. Its ongoing six-week North American tour concludes next week with a concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
The Trio's San Diego debut took place Saturday at a private house concert in North County. It was the first of six area performances by the band, which performs tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 9, at Southwestern College and Friday at both Canyon Crest Academy and North Park's Folk Dance Center. The Southwestern and Folk Dance Center concerts are both open to the public (more information about both shows appears at below.)
All six of the group's performances here are presented under the auspices of San Diego's Center for World Music, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The concerts are co-presented by the new York-based Polish Cultural Institute.
The Trio's music combines rustic traditional Polish folk music traditions, including the mazurka and polainaise (both of which were favored by Frederick Chopin in some of his classic compositions) with cutting-edge improvisations that should delight jazz fans. The result is rhythmically infectious music that sounds both foreign and familiar, age-old and in-the-moment contemporary.
"That's exactly what we are doing," said Janusz Prusinowksi, the band's namesake and virtuoso violinist.
"(Traditional Polish) village music... is still the same language today... the same musical form and improvisation. The way of improvisation has been typical in Polish music the whole time. You could call what we do 'Polish jazz'."
Not coincidentally, the Trio has shared concert stages with such internationally celebrated Polish jazz artists as Tomasz Stanko and Michal Urbaniak. To date, the Trio has released three critically acclaimed albums: 2008's "Mazurkas," 2010's "Heart" and the brand new "Po Kolana w Niehie" ("Knee Deep in Heaven").
In the liner notes to "Heaven," Prusinowksi writes: "And what place does heaven hold in polish folk music? Setting aside (for the time being) the realm of religious songs (which consist primarily of heaven),we use instrumental music, the scales and tones of different instruments, the lyrics of folk songs. I think the old village masters from whom we received this language, music and poetry know exactly what heaven is."
The trio's lineup for its current tour features Prusinowski, who also sings and plays Polish accordion; Szczepan Pospieszalski on trumpet; Piotr Zgorzelski on bass and dancing; Piotr Piszczatowski on hand percussion instruments and Michal Zak on clarinet, wooden flutes and the oboe-like shawm.
While the Trio's music also draws from contemporary classical music, propulsive dance rhythms provide its heartbeat.
"This is what we love most," Prusinowski affirmed, "when people start dancing and the energy comes back to us (on stage) and feeds the music."
San Diegans can catch the Janusz Prusinowksi Trio live at 7 p.m. today, Wednesday, Oct. 9, at Southwestern College's Music Recital Hall, room 801, 900 Otay Lakes Road, Chula Vista. Admission is free and open to the public. Information: (917) 854-6315.
On Friday, after a students-only noon concert at Canyon Crest Academy, the trio performs a 6:30 p.m. dance concert at the Folk Dance Center, 4569 30th Street. Tickets are $15 each at the door. Information: (619) 466-4043.

The term "people of color" has deep historical roots, not to be confused with the pejorative "colored people."
"People of color" was first used in the French West Indies to indicate people of African descent who were not enslaved as "gens de couleur libre," or "free people of color," and scholars have found references to the term in English dating back to the early 1800's.
American racial justice activists, influenced by Franz Fanon, picked up the term in the late 1970s and began to use it widely by the early 80s.
As an Indian immigrant, calling myself a person of color enabled me to identify with African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans.
The new identity freed me from the model-minority slot that I had been given by the media, politicians and by Americans themselves.
To build a multiracial movement, I had to expand my identity in a way that tied me to African Americans' struggle to access the promise of the American dream, rather than as the ringer that would suppress that struggle.
"People of color" is now commonly used far beyond political circles, as "minority" fades into the category of things that used to be true.
It is past time for the media and the general public to embrace the phrase.
