A bill condemning detention provisions written into the National Defense Authorization Act and blocking any state cooperation with federal agents attempting to detain people in Michigan without due process unanimously passed the Michigan House Wednesday. HB5768 declares, "no agency of this state, no political subdivision of this state, no employee of an agency of this state or a political subdivision of this state acting in his or her official capacity, and no member of the Michigan national guard on official state duty shall aid an agency of the armed forces of the United States in any investigation, prosecution, or detention of any person pursuant to section 1021 of the national defense authorization act…"As we've warned in previous posts, the National Defense Authorization Act is a direct violation of the Bill of Rights.

The museum addition, designed by Daniel Libeskind, is one of several attractions around Denver by superstar architects. It joins the main museum, an elegant fortress-like building designed by the late Italian modernist Gio Ponti; the Central Library, a round structure in the boxy downtown skyline, designed by Michael Graves, and a mile-long pedestrian mall along 16th Street, designed by I.M. Pei. (Related story: From 16th Street, you can discover Denver)
These celebrity-designed sites add cachet to a city that already has an interesting, pedestrian-friendly architectural mix. There are skyscrapers in the business district; carefully preserved brick-and-stone buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries in LoDo, the historic Lower Denver district, and housing that ranges from rowhouses and single-family homes in outlying neighborhoods to new riverfront lofts and condos.
"Denver is one of America's youngest cities, but we've done an amazing job of preserving the older buildings we have, while adding architecturally significant new ones," said Rich Grant, spokesman for the Denver Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Since construction began on the Libeskind project in 2003, drivers have slowed down as they pass by to gawk at what the museum describes as a "geometric explosion of glass and titanium." Angular layers jut out from the structure at seemingly impossible angles, like petals on a silver sculpture.
"The structure is so fantastic, you can feel it soaring against gravity," Libeskind said on a visit to the site last year.
He added that the project was "like a birth, and you can watch it through every phase."
The architect has visited Denver often, not only to monitor construction but also to boost the project's profile.
"I am not the kind of architect who just sends the plans over," Libeskind said. "I am interested in the door handles, the railings, the bathrooms; everything that is part of the building and will be part of the experience of the people."
When it appeared there wouldn't be enough money for a below-ground parking garage for the facility, Libeskind designed a more conventional one. He has posed for photos near a construction beam, signed hard hats for workers and spoken with museum staff.
Libeskind, 59, was born in Poland but holds U.S. citizenship. An academic who didn't get his first contract until he was in his 40s, he has been praised and criticized for his daring work.
His design for the Jewish Museum in Berlin was his initial claim to fame, and he has since worked on projects around the world, including in Israel, Mexico, San Francisco and London. But he is probably best-known for winning an international design competition for the master plan to rebuild the World Trade Center site. Those plans continue to be revised, however, in response to concerns ranging from aesthetics to security.

Peter Leitch Biography
19 August 1944, Ottowa, Ontario, Canada. Leitch was raised in Montreal, playing guitar there in the early 60s and later in Toronto. He listened to jazz on record and live, sometimes sitting in with visiting artists. Among musicians he heard and from whom he learned were John Coltrane, Wes Montgomery and Thelonious Monk. Inevitably, his jazz orientation was towards the modern end of the spectrum. Nevertheless, anyone interested in playing popular music in those years was influenced by many other genres whether by osmosis or through the need to earn a living by taking available engagements. Consequently, Leitch played with R&B and organ groups, and in back-up bands for many different kinds of entertainers. As his skills and reputation developed, he worked with several prominent leaders, sometimes on recording dates. Among these were Oscar Peterson, Milt Jackson, Al Grey, Jimmy Forrest, Woody Shaw and Pepper Adams. The wide range of music represented by those artists he heard and with whom he played, resulted in Leitch developing an eclectic repertoire. Heavily bop-influenced though it is, among the music he plays can often be heard a burning undercurrent of the blues.
The success of his recording career has meant that he can choose from among the best musicians for his sidemen. Based in New York since the early 80s, among players on his mid- to late 90s sessions were Adams, Bobby Watson, Gary Bartz, Renee Rosnes, Dwayne Burno, Billy Hart and Sean Smith, while on many of his albums he retained the formidable rhythm section of John Hicks, Ray Drummond and Marvin Smitty Smith. Leitchs playing is notable for his long, smooth and elegantly swinging lines. He also has the ability to seek and find great emotional depths in the music he selects. He plays both electric and acoustic guitars, and is an able composer and arranger. Leitch is also active as teacher and clinician, visiting schools and colleges in these capacities.

Prescription Pain Relievers Can Kill You
Medically Reviewed by: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
If you think you've heard it before, you're dead wrong
How many times has someone told you a "party" drug could lead to more serious problems - like addiction, brain damage, or even death? You've probably heard it so many times, it's getting hard to believe. But all drugs have real potential for harm - even prescription pain relievers. When abused alone, or taken with other drugs, prescription pain medications can kill you. And the death toll from misuse and abuse is rising steadily.
Think twice-because you only die once. Prescription pain relievers, when used correctly and under a doctor's supervision, are safe and effective. But abuse them, or mix them with illegal drugs or alcohol, and you could wind up in the morgue. Even using prescription pain relievers with other prescription drugs (such as antidepressants) or over-the-counter medications (like cough syrups and antihistamines), can lead to life-threatening respiratory failure. With some prescription pain relievers, all it takes is one pill.
Drugs to watch out for. The most dangerous prescription pain relievers are those containing drugs known as opioids, such as morphine and codeine. Some common drugs containing these substances include:

Soft Parts Needed: Aura 1808
Good day all,
I have an old, long ago expired Aura 1808. Destroyed by the previous owner, I bought it with the intention of one day bringing it back to life.
To that end I am in search of soft parts for this driver. Aura makes a "re-basket" kit, which replaces everything but the removable Neo-Radial magnet structure. This is the 'baby out with the bath-water' approach. Aura would not sell me soft parts individually. I don't blame them for this - they're not in the business of spare parts.
I tried Seismic Subs. They owned the rights to the Aura 1808 for a while (as I understand it) and sold it as the Seismic 8196. I believe there were some changes to the Mms to drop Fs down a little from the realm of pro-drivers to living-room monsters. This was promising for a while, and Seismic told me they could sell me cones and surrounds, but then the trail went cold. I haven't heard back from them in months, so perhaps they've decided it would be too much trouble.
At this point, I thought it might be fun to experiment. If anyone knows of a place that sells individual soft parts, for either the Aura 1808 or just a large displacement 18" of any kind please let me know. I might try a Frankenstein build for fun.
Thanks for your help,

Thanks Mikey P,
I'll check them out. I've played around on their site a bit - they have some nice looking subwoofers! I wonder how a car audio sub would stand up in terms of SQ to home audio stuff?

Re: Soft Parts Needed: Aura 1808
This place used to sell recone kits for the McCauley 6174 (I've got a dead one of those in the garage somewhere) which has similar throw but a completely different structure (and I'm sure won't fit the Aura frame), but they don't seem to be listed anymore -- you could always give them a call:
P.S. It was always difficult getting any information out of Seismic even when they were still going -- I bet Barry's got a pile of parts he wouldn't mind getting rid of if only you can get him to talk to you :-)

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the thoughts! Unfortunately enough the coil I have is measuring as an open circuit, so I would need to track something similar down. The length of the former does pose a problem, however I *might* be able to work around that. However, do you suppose an edge-wound flat conductor coil is something easy to find? I would like to stay true to the original design in that respect.
Neat, you have a 8196? How are you using it? These drivers are awesome looking, though I've yet to hear mine play! I must admit, when I found one on EBay having read all the surrounding lore, I jumped for it. I love the look of the driver from behind - it looks like something from a mad scientist's lab from a 50's sci-fi movie!
As for Seismic, Mr. Bozeman seems like a really nice guy. I think we just lost contact because he sounds rather busy, but I'll try him once more. If I can't track down the real parts, this is what I'm thinking:
For the surround I'll try and find something in a large half roll for another 18, maybe something from the autosound world. The spiders might be a hard piece to track down as well, but hopefully I can find something. For the coil, as long as the diameter is correct, and the winding length is similar, I may be able to extend the former. As the original cone has a straight profile, I might try something crazy like make up a jig and form my own out of fiberglass or possibly carbon fiber. Hehe, I know, but at least it will be fun to try.
Thanks for your help. I'll let you know what I find. And should I try something ridiculous like making my own cone, I'll post up pictures of the ensuing catastrophe!
p.s.: I should mention one of my motivations for trying a home-made cone. A while back I saw a write-up by Deon Bearden, in which he describes the design of his subwoofer The Beast. His idea of adding mass to drop the Fs for added low end response really got me interested in this type of thing. I still have a lot to learn but I'd love to play around with this concept first hand.
One thing I might try, besides adjusting the moving mass, is adjusting the Vas. Through use of a soft half roll surround, and possibly running only 1 spider (the rear!), the Vas of my 1808 would go up. Mechanical Q would also go up, but as this is also tied to Mms, I could start by making a cone as light as possible, then add mass to drop the Fs where I would like.
At any rate it would be interesting to see what happens! A lot of the complex mechanical dynamics are beyond my knowledge level, so this could end up as a big mess (and likely will if chaos theory has anything to say about it).

If the coil's measuring o/c have you tried removing the magnet (this is very easy) and looking for damage? What's dead on the original driver anyway -- just the coil, or is the cone/surround damged?
There are other possibilities for soft parts since other people have built similar drivers -- CGN, Worx, Bassmaxx spring to mind, all were built by TC Sounds (who don't exist any more) but there must be spare parts available somewhere.
My 8196 is used for our band in a 16ft3 reflex box (which collapses down to 6ft3 for transport, think Russian dolls) tuned to 25Hz, this was originally designed for a McCauley 6174 but we burned out the coil on that hitting it with repetitive low G notes (25Hz) from our bass-players homemade 3-string bass :-(
P.S. Maybe Bassmaxx used the Seismic 8196HK originally, then switched to a custom TC Sounds driver?

I think I still have an 1808 basket with all of the soft parts still attached. Are you interested in it?

Omission Watch: Obama White House Snubs Sobbing Kindergartners for Steelers Event
Via Greg Pollowitz at NRO Media Blog, we learn from the local Washington NBC affiliate that a group of kindergartners from Stafford County, Virginia were turned away at the gate on Thursday morning for being too late for their White House tour.
Parents say they were just 10 minutes late for the scheduled tour. School officials say White House staff said they needed to get ready for the president's event with the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, so they couldn't come in.
The person who headed this White House trip up came out and said, 'I'm sorry, the White House tour's off.' There were a lot of crying kids," parent Barbara Stine said....
Paty Stine said the White House staff should have made an exception. She feels the kindergarteners were snubbed for the Steelers.
"Here we have President Obama and his administration saying, 'Here we are for the common, middle class people,' and here he is not letting 150 5- and 6-year-olds into the White House because he's throwing a lunch for a bunch of grown millionaires," Stine said.
Organizers of the visit from Conway Elementary said they left the school at 8:30, but ran into heavy traffic and were ten minutes late for a 10:15 appointment. White House officials told the local NBC affiliate a different story, that the students were expected at 9:30.
Anyone who lives in northern Virginia knows it would be foolish to only budget an hour to travel Interstate 95 in the morning rush hour from the northern outskirts of Fredericksburg and hope to arrive in downtown Washington. The White House story sounds fishy, although the school probably should have allowed even more time for the commute.
As the White House plans to reschedule after the small amount of embarrassing publicity, school officials are sounding very unperturbed by the snub. A quick Nexis search finds no national network coverage, not even NBC, and nothing in the Washington Post or Washington Times.
But when the smallest Bush boo-boo (like trying to open a locked door in Beijing) can be a major story, skipping this kind of story would demonstrate that network morning shows who love stuffing their broadcasts with light stories of interest to young moms are taking a pass to protect all the gooey Obama family public relations they've offered in the first 100 days and more.

I've always loved this picture, even though it's more of a composition than a portrait. But the way that he's dressed with such care, the prominence of the guitar in the frame, and that perfect use of the many shades of gray that black and white can give you, all add up to an image of "the musician" that is indelible and other-wordly.

Some of his earliest shellac issues from 1925 even have him playing some blues fiddle. His last recordings from the 60s are powerful in playing and singing. He did an album of old, traditional jazz with a Canadian jazz band about 1965, and the youngsters are having a hard time keeping up!

By the time the Administration's anti-crime bill passed the Senate last week, it had grown and changed mightily. For one thing, the Senators had added a measure that would permit court-ordered wiretapping by federal and state authorities investigating almost any serious crime; federal authorities would not need a court order in emergency situations involving national security or organized crime. The legislators also authorized a ban on the mail-order sale of handguns, as well as $100 million in federal funds for local law enforcement. And, as many civil libertarians feared, the Senators...

The uproar following Newt Gingrich's most recent Sunday Show appearance doesn't seem to have diminished voter interest in the former House Speaker. Campaign spokesman Rick Tyler tells Fox that they've had two to three times the number of people expected at various campaign stops in Iowa where Gingrich is seeking support.
"We had to remove a wall to double the size of the room to fit them all in. The reaction is overwhelmingly positive. Each stop has had at least 75 people, most over 100 even at mid-day and some over 200," Tyler told Fox.

Jack Gruber, USA TODAY
Anderson, who served two terms as mayor of Salt Lake City may be the only Democrat for whom Mitt Romney has produced a campaign ad.
Romney and Anderson worked together on the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and later cut campaign ads for each other. In a 2003 ad for Anderson's re-election – which is still available on YouTube -- Romney says "Salt Lake City is a better place because of Rocky."
Anderson is now running against Romney as the presidential candidate of the Justice Party, a new progressive party launched at the end of 2011. Anderson says he has grown increasingly concerned about the growth of "state secrets" in American government. Since 9/11 in particular, "we don't have a true system of checks and balances anymore," Anderson says. "The executive branch can blatantly violate not only treaty obligations but domestic laws passed by Congress."
Anderson acknowledges that his race is unlikely to end with him winning the White House, but he says: "Our intention is to get on as many ballots as we can and communicate to the American people not only what the horrendous problems are in terms of the economy and the political duopoly caving in to Wall Street… but also the unnecessary and incredibly tragic wars and the massive unprecedented civil and human rights violations that are being committed daily in the name of the so-called 'war on terror.'"
Anderson may appear on the ballot in some states as the candidate of other liberal parties.

Sell Annuity Payments Or Settlements
One of the most commonly understood principles of annuity sales is that once the contract is purchased it is extremely difficult to change your mind. Conventional thinking suggests that in order to sell annuity contracts, you must be willing to take a hit on the account, and will likely lose a considerable amount of money. You may be surprised to know that annuities are easier to sell than they used to be.
Can You Sell Annuities?
Let's start off with the most basic question you are likely asking yourself. Can I really sell my annuity payments? Unexpectedly, the answer is yes. Most annuity owners function under the assumption that once they purchase or inherit an annuity, they are stuck with the annuity for life (or the duration of the contract). And while there is certainly some merit to that statement, particularly in the past, this is no longer the case.
Although it should go without saying, just because you can sell your annuity payments, does not necessarily mean that you should. You'll want to carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of selling your annuity for cash long before you commit to do so.
It is also worth noting that this not only applies to structured settlement annuities, but also to your everyday annuity contracts as well (fixed annuities, indexed annuities, etc...). As you are researching how to best sell your contract, it important to specify the type of annuity you currently hold.
How Do You Sell Annuity Payments? What Options Do You Have?
If you are looking to sell an annuity payment, you really have two options. You can attempt to get money back from the issuing company, or you can try and sell the annuity on the secondary market.
The secondary market allows you to sell your annuity settlement for a lump-sum of cash. You can either sell all or a portion of the payment to the annuity buyer. There are many investors that are interested in assuming your annuity payments, and may be looking to either buy annuities at a discount price or are looking for a way to qualify for annuity payments. The secondary marketplace allows the willing seller to come to terms with an interested buyer.
If the secondary market does not interest you, you always have the option of surrendering the contract prematurely. Understand that if you terminate your contract before the completion date, you will be faced with surrender and/or early termination charges from the issuing company. These charges are designed to protect the insurance company's investment in the annuity.
Before you choose either way, make sure that you get multiple quotes from different sources. Talk to your issuing insurance company and see if they are willing to work with you. Because of the secondary market, annuity companies have been forced to ease up on their stringent termination policies.
If you do end up looking to sell annuity settlements, understand that you will not get the full value of your settlement on the secondary market. The appealing thing about buying annuity payments is the possibility of buying the distributions at a discounted rate. If you are concerned about the rate you are getting, you always have the options of only selling a portion of the payments at a time.
Reasons To Sell Annuity Payments?
- Inherited the annuity payments and would prefer the cash
- Have an immediate cash need
- Lump-sum payment can be used in more productive investments
- Prefer a more flexible or liquid product
- More...
Where Do You Go For The Secondary Market?
Although this is a growing arena, the secondary market for annuity payments is still quite small. The bigger firms involved in facilitating the sale of annuities are J.G. Wentworth, Peachtree Settlement Funding, Settlement Funding, and Stone Tree Capital. There are certainly smaller firms that also deal in this market, but you have to be more careful regarding their spread on the transactions.

Dating With Tinder: What It's Really Like To Date With Hookup Apps
I joined Tinder last month at the insistence of my friends. Before I downloaded the app, I had no clue what it was, but listening to my buddies raving about it, you'd think it was the second coming of Facebook.
For guys who love looking at pictures of girls in bikinis and frivolously casting a split-second judgment on them (guys like me, I mean), it came pretty close to being the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Well, for a week or so anyway. Read more …

Stem cell-derived hepatocytes represent promising models to study human liver biology and disease. This concise review discusses the recent progresses in the field, with a focus on human liver disease, drug metabolism and virus infection.
The human liver has a multitude of functions. The cells which comprise the liver and perform those roles are termed parenchymal and non-parenchymal. Approximately 70%–80% of the liver is composed of the parenchymal cells known as hepatocytes. The non-parenchymal fraction make up the rest of the organ and are localized in the sinusoidal and biliary compartments of the tissue [
Given the dire consequences of severe liver damage, a number of cell based models have been developed to predict the potential for human liver injury (for a review see [
To overcome the shortage and stability of PHHs, a number of different human hepatoma-derived cell lines have been established. In contrast to PHHs, hepatoma-derived cells are scalable, cheap to maintain and are easy to handle. However, those benefits are out-weighed by defects in key cell signaling pathways which result in inferior phenotype. For example, Huh7.5 cells are used to study Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication but are not ideal to study virus-host interaction due to defects in the retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 pathway [
hESCs are derived from the inner cell mass of preimplantation embryos [
Differentiated somatic cells can be reprogrammed to an ES-like state [
Reprogramming of fibroblasts to iPSC demonstrated that somatic cells could be reprogrammed to a pluripotent stem cell state [
The drug discovery process is a rocky road and pharmaceutical companies face major issues with drug attrition [
Drug metabolism in the liver can be divided into three phases. Phase I reactions are carried out by the cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) which modify the chemical substrate via oxidation, reduction and/or hydrolysis. CYPs are the major enzymes involved in drug metabolism [
Stem cell-derived hepatocytes generated from patients with metabolic liver diseases are a useful model for understanding the disease process. Various human inherited liver diseases such as: a1-antitrypsin deficiency; Glucose-6-phosphate deficiency; LDL-receptor mutations; Crigler-Najjar-Syndrome; and Wilson's disease have been successfully modeled "in a dish" using iPS-derived hepatocytes from the patients [
In addition to modeling inherited liver diseases, stem cell-derived hepatocytes have proved useful in delivering models for studying the lifecycle of hepatotropic viruses. This is very important as current approaches using human hepatoma cell culture to model hepatitis C virus (HCV) lifecycle has a number of drawbacks and as a result does not support the growth of clinical viral isolates. This precludes studies of many important host-pathogen interactions that are crucial for a more detailed understanding of viral life cycle and pathogenesis. This has necessitated the development of models which are phenotypically closer to human hepatocytes. Encouragingly, stem cell-derived hepatocytes have been shown to support the entire life cycle of the HCV including viral entry, replication, production and release of progeny virus, albeit at low levels [
Another important goal of developing such virus models, is to further our understanding of the affect that genetic background has on viral pathogenesis. Certain individuals are prone to developing chronic viral infection while others can efficiently clear the virus. A reasonable explanation may lie in differences in immune factors or viral receptor expression. However, the true reasons for these different responses are still largely unresloved. We believe that stem cell derived models, from defined genetic origin, may provide insight into the disease process and currently available treatments. In the future, such models could facilitate the development of new anti-viral drugs, which can be tailored to the patient's genetics.
Liver disease, such as fatty liver, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma are closely associated with alcohol abuse [
Human hepatocytes, are the major cell type in the liver which undertakes alcohol metabolism. Hepatocytes degrade alcohol into aldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase and catalyze the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids by aldehyde dehydrogenase. In addition to tissue damage, alcohol and its metabolites, can trigger the innate immune response, contributing to inflammation [
Many methods have been devised to efficiently generate stem cell-derived hepatocytes from hESCs or hiPSCs (for a review see Szkolnicka
Modeling human liver biology using stem cell-derived hepatocytes. Hepatocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells (embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells), adult stem cells, or somatic cells can be used for modeling human liver biology "in a dish". Examples of the use of this technology include, toxicity screening, disease modeling, viral infection and replication.

Divorce costs add to woe, says Legal Ombudsman
The Legal Ombudsman has published a report on divorce which highlights hidden costs and poor quality legal services can make the process more distressing for separating couples.
One divorcee, Sam Feely, told the BBC she had a traumatic and stressful experience and costs that "escalated out of control".
The report reveals that around a quarter of divorce complaints relate to cost.

To all of our fabulous guests,
Thank you to all of you for all of your support and passion for iKOU..
Those of you who know me personally will be aware that the small seed Paul and I planted in the form of creating this beautiful brand iKOU has now flourished to be a fast growing tree.
I have found keeping up with our rapid growth managing factory production, our expanding retail stores, wholesale distribution throughout Australia and internationally and our busy Day Spa an exciting journey.
As you know, I personally believe in the importance of good work/ life balance and time for rest and relaxation.
To maintain my own heath and happiness I have made a really big personal life decision…
As of the end of September 2013, we will no longer be offering treatments from our Leura location.
We will be converting our beautiful space to iKOU Headquarters and training facilities.
Our 181-183A Leura Mall premises has been a journal of our growth.
It was our first retail store, opened in June 2008.
We then converted the premises to our Yoga studio, then a multi Award-Winning Day Spa.
It is appropriate that this space will now foster our creativity in being the training facilities for our fabulous team.
We thank you for all of your well wishes and messages.
I apologise to all of you who have been disappointed by this news.
It makes us feel so proud to hear so many people say iKOU was the best Day Spa in the Mountains!
You can still enjoy iKOU treatments at the beautiful Park Hyatt in Sydney, and our retail stores have now expanded to both Leura and Sydney Queen Victoria Building.
Wishing you all health & happiness,

Michael Lumb struck a composed fifty as Notts Outlaws began their Friends Life t20 campaign with a comfortable win over Leicestershire Foxes at Trent Bridge.
Chasing a victory target of 184, the home team eased to victory with 14 balls to spare, aided by potent early cameos from Alex Hales (24) and Riki Wessels (15).
David Hussey and James Taylor saw the home side over the line with an 84-run partnership to the delight of a healthy crowd of 7,390. Hussey played fluently throughout for an unbeaten 49 with Taylor (37 not out) content with a supporting role.
Leicestershire had started strongly with openers Niall O'Brien and visiting captain Josh Cobb sharing a 40-run partnership. Cobb struck Nottinghamshire's new New Zealander Ian Butler out of the park with a lofty off-drive but the debutant bowler made an instant reply with a length ball that evaded his step and swipe before removing middle stump to end the opening stand.
A delayed toss under grey skies had influenced Hussey's decision to insert Leicestershire but the visitors found some favour from the damp ball early on. Hussey's throw at the stumps with Niall O'Brien short of his ground evaded the back up for four overthrows as the Outlaws were briefly troubled.
Samit Patel drew Joe Burns to charge down and mistime an intended drive over extra cover to allow Chris Read a routine stumping before Leicestershire reached 82 for two after 10 overs. In a frenetic eleventh over, Shakib Al-Hasan hit Jake Ball for consecutive boundaries before offering a chance to Hussey which evaded his grasp after a fingertip deflection.
Al-Hasan (31) continued to attack but Patel stayed cool under the high ball to accept a return catch before Hussey bowled Niall O'Brien (47) and had Matt Boyce stumped in consecutive balls as momentum shifted in the fourteenth. Butler had a short-pitched delivery gloved by Shiv Thakor (8) on his return and Thornley (8) quickly followed.
Eckersley's last ball six gave Leicestershire 183 runs to defend but expensive spells from Nathan Buck, Rob Taylor and Michael Thornley dashed their hopes.

Pressing business in Kororareka-Russell
February 4
Pressing business in Kororareka-Russell
It's hard to imagine a more unlikely place than Kororareka-Russell as a centre for publishing.
Yet in the early 1840s, Kororareka had become known for more than just its fleshly attractions for visiting whalers and sailors who patronised its numerous grog shops and brothels. Ironically, it was also known as a place where information and ideas were exchanged – often through the work of a particularly lively group of publishers.
"At times it must have felt that the Bay of Islands was awash with religious literature – from the Church Missionary Society, the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society and later Bishop Pompallier's Marists who started producing Roman Catholic literature in 1838," says Kate Martin, the Manager of Pompallier Mission, the NZ Historic Places Trust property in Russell.
The different denominational publications in Maori included such pamphlets as 'Antikaraiti' (The Antichrist) – a rather pointed Wesleyan tract aimed at dissuading Maori from joining the Catholic Church; and Pompallier's rejoinder, 'Ko Nga Tahi Pono Nui o te Hahi Katorika Romana' (The first Great Truths of the Roman Catholic Church) which outlined what he saw as the heresies of Protestantism.
"The printed word was the weapon of choice for the British and French missionaries who saw themselves as 'warring' for the souls of Maori. But they weren't the only ones running their printing presses into the wee small hours," she says.
"Right next door to Pompallier Mission, printing of a different kind was taking place."
Barzellai Quaife – a teacher and Congregationalist Minister – arrived in Kororareka from Adelaide with his family in May 1840, and within a month had printed the first edition of the New Zealand Advertiser and Bay of Islands Gazette – one of New Zealand's earliest newspapers.
Although he had the skills to produce his own religious literature, it seems that the Congregationalist Quaife was extraordinary in that he represented one of the few religious groups in the Bay of Islands who elected not to wade into the interdenominational tract war. Instead he turned his press towards other more, some would say, seditious intent.
"If New Zealand journalists ever felt they needed a patron saint, then Barzellai Quaife could well be a leading contender," says Kate.
"Right from the first issue of the Advertiser, Quaife maintained a rigorously independent editorial policy – much to the chagrin of the local Establishment."
Thundering from the pulpit of the Advertiser, Quaife's editorials focused on Maori interests – especially the issue of land – to the extent that he has been described as arguably New Zealand's first public anti-racist.
"Barzellai Quaife was an outspoken opponent of government injustice and an early advocate of Maori rights," says Kate, who has read through many back editions of the Advertiser.
"He was also fearless in exposing incompetent petty officialdom – the policeman who fought with his wife out on the street for example; the postmaster who delayed the mail; the customs officer who made things difficult for ordinary citizens."
Not surprisingly, he was also very unpopular in governmental circles, and his liberal non-conformist background and belief in a free press set him on a collision course with Willoughby Shortland – the chief police magistrate and acting colonial secretary who had recently arrived from the convict colony of New South Wales.
It seemed that Shortland had at his disposal draconian powers over the media that many governments would envy.
"Shortland had come from New South Wales, where the press was controlled. In December of 1840, he recalled an old disused New South Wales legal ordinance and ordered Quaife to post several hundred pounds surety and pay a fine or face transportation should he publish 'expressions tending to bring the Government into hatred or contempt'," says Kate.
"The last edition of the Advertiser appeared shortly after."
Quaife was not to be quashed however. In 1842 he launched the Bay of Islands Observer, regularly dishing up the stuff of healthy newspaper sales – including constant and embarrassing exposure of an inefficient and corrupt government.
He went one step too far, however, printing gossip about the colonial treasurer George Cooper which proved his undoing, and he was dismissed by his newspaper's proprietors, ending one of the earliest chapters in the story of the free press in New Zealand.
"It's interesting to think that while Barzellai Quaife was turning out one of New Zeaalnd's earliest and liveliest newspapers, next door the Roman Catholic Bishop Pompallier and his missionaries were producing religious books in Maori by the thousand," says Kate.
"Today, people visiting Russell can recapture some of Kororareka-Russell's publishing heritage by coming to Pompallier Mission and enjoying a fun, hands-on experience of printing as it was done in the 1840s."
Enjoy your heritage – Pompallier Mission (the Strand, Russell) is open to the public every day except Christmas Day. For more information on Pompallier Mission – and other places cared for by the NZ Historic Places Trust – log onto www.historic.org.nz

History Center
Historical Significance: What is now College Avenue Baptist Church was established in 1892 by Pastor Augustus B. Orgren. It was the fourth Swedish Baptist Church established in California. They met first in the facilities of First Baptist Church, San Diego. Property was purchased at the corner of 19th and H ( Market). The first building cost $2000. The congregation defaulted on the mortgage in 1901 and the property reverted to ownership by First Baptist Church. The Board of Trustees continued to meet until in 1907 they re-organized and called C.M. Nelson to be their pastor. A new building was constructed at 16th and E. where the church continued until it purchase the current property on College Avenue in 1938. The first building on the new site of was dedicated in July 1940. For many years, COllege Avenue was the largest congregation in the Baptist General Conference.
Address and Directions: 4747 College
Avenue, San Diego, CA
Also Visit: 19th and H, and 16th and E in downtown San Diego.
Current Use: The original building at 19th and H is still actively used by a Christian congregation. The building at 16th and E no longer exists. The property at 4747 College Avenue has been extensively developed over the years and is the site of a very active College Avenue Baptist Church.
Historic Significance:
Address And Directions:
Historical Significance: Bethel Seminary San Diego was started in the facilities of College Avenue Baptist Church in 1977. In 1990, the Seminary moved into its own beautiful new building right across from the parking lot of College Avenue Church at 6116 Arosa St. The Seminary and College Avenue Church still have a very important cooperative relationship.
Address and Directions: Take I-805 north out of San Diego to I-8. Go East to the College Avenue exit. Go right or South about 2 miles to Arosa Street.
Historical Significance: Among the Swedish Baptists, there was a strong social concern from the beginning. In California, this manifest itself in a drive to establish a Swedish Baptist old people's home. In 1918, a large residence was given to the State Conference for this purpose by a Mrs. C. Volland. The home was legally incorporated in 1919 at 222 West 41st Street, in Los Angeles. Several facilities have replaced that original home.
Address and Directions: Currently, the Valley Christian Home ( it's current name) is at 155 N. Girard St., Hemet, CA

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
We are a religious family and I did not disagree what the scripture said, I just felt it is being taken out-of-context and used on a 6 year old child who will grow up afraid and with low self esteem. She has told several exagerations of stories lately and they say they are having a lot of trouble with her lying to them. I think they punish her too severly and this causes her to lie to them.
Should I apologize for the sake of seeing my grandchildren or hold fast and hope he will re-think his position? When we asked to see them yesterday since we are going out-of-town for a month, he said he thought they need to take a break from the grand parents. My husband then got into a 3 hour conversation that lead to his yelling and screaming and telling me it was my fault I couldn't see the kids and I would have to live with that.
I didn't mean my husband was yelling and screaming, it was my son. I told my son if a psychiatrist said I was wrong and I should apologize, I would do it. I don't want to do it just because he is blackmailing me. I just wanted a third party opinion.
I don't want this to be a way of life from now on.

Navy to cut civilian dock jobs
Fifty jobs are to go at the Devonport Naval Base in Devon, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced.
The MoD has decided to turn over a large section of land to the local community for regeneration purposes.
The South Yard Enclave of the yard is being used for storage, but will now form part of the local area's regeneration plans.
Warehouses currently based on the naval site will have to be moved to other parts of the country, meaning the loss of 50 civilian jobs.
Feasibility study
The land has been earmarked as a major part of the Devonport Urban Village Project - a new residential and retail project backed by Plymouth City Council and South West Development Agency.
An MoD spokesman said the jobs move came after a feasibility study had been carried out into the relocation of the stores and warehousing at Devonport.
He said: "It concluded that there is insufficient capacity elsewhere in the naval base to accommodate the whole storage facility.
"So tasks will be relocated to Defence Storage and Distribution Agency (DSDA) facilities at Llangennech in South Wales and Donnington and to the Portsmouth naval base.
Posts lost
"Relocation will result in the loss of some 50 civilian posts at Devonport. Every effort will be made to avoid compulsory redundancies but they cannot be ruled out."
During expansion of the dockyard in the late 1950s, the MoD incorporated land surrounding Fore Street and Marlborough Street in Devonport.
Prior to World War II, when it suffered severe bomb damage, this 22-acre site was the main shopping and commercial centre of Devonport.
A wall was built to incorporate this land into the naval base - which effectively split the heart of Devonport into two.

28th min. De Jong (NED) committed a brutal foul a la kung-fu fighting against Alonso (ESP). He hit Alonso directly with his feet on the opponent's chest. Webb, the British referee, should have easily sent the Dutch off the field. Instead, he 'awarded' de Jong the yellow card.
What will happen the next 45 min.? I strongly doubt that the game will be finished with 22 players. With three Dutch players booked, van Bommel and de Jong are the stongest candidates for a red card.
The Dutch coach should better replace de Jong, else he might be facing the remainder of the match with only 10 or even 9 own players.
