Who's #1?
"Readers will find many interesting ideas as they grapple with the complexities of the science of rating and ranking."--Bob Horton, Mathematics Teacher
"[T]his book is a call to consciousness on the relevance of rating and ranking as well as an enjoyable start-up guide from the point of view of algebraic methods."--Francisco Grimaldo Moreno, JASSS
"This book is a great introduction to the field (including its constituent parts in linear algebra and data mining) and contains enough depth to be used as a supplemental book in a data mining course or as a jumping off point for an interested researcher. . . . Overall this is a very nice, well written book that could be use in multiple ways by a wide variety of audiences."--Nicholas Mattei, SigAct News
"The profit the scientometrics community can gain from this book is an indirect one: an attitude how to compile a systematic collection of potential methods, how to select carefully using theoretical tests and empirical examples and how to combine methods to get a comprehensive, multidimensional rating and ranking system. In this sense, it is a highly recommended reading for all readers of the journal Scientometrics."--Andras Schubert, Scientometrics
"This book is an excellent read for everyone; readers might be sports enthusiasts, social choice theorists, mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers, and college and high school teachers. Teachers will find quite an easy way to extract material for a short module."--Valentina Dagiene, Zentralblatt MATH
"Who's #1? is an excellent survey of the fundamental ideas behind mathematical rating systems. Once a realm of sports enthusiasts, ranking things is becoming a vital tool in many information-age applications. Langville and Meyer compare and contrast a variety of models, explaining the mathematical foundations and motivation. Readers of this book will be inspired to further explore this exciting field."--Kenneth Massey, Massey Ratings
"Langville and Meyer provide a rigorous yet lighthearted tour through the landscape of ratings methodologies. This is an enjoyable read that looks at ratings through the lens of sports, but also touches on how ratings affect our everyday lives through movies, Web search, online shopping, and other applications."--Chris Volinsky, member of the winning Netflix Prize team
"Who's #1? provides a much-needed synthesis of the methods used for ranking and rating things like sports teams, movies, politicians, and more. There is a ton of interest in this topic, and readers now have one place to look for a comprehensive treatment of the different approaches."--Wayne L. Winston, author of Mathletics: How Gamblers, Managers, and Sports Enthusiasts Use Mathematics in Baseball, Basketball, and Football
"This highly accessible book gives readers a comprehensive account of the different mathematical ranking techniques across many different disciplines, and will appeal to everyone from researchers to sports statistics junkies."--Sep Kamvar, author of Numerical Algorithms for Personalized Search in Self-organizing Information Networks

Ledisi Anibade Young, the eight-time Grammy-nominated singer known simply as Ledisi, returns to her native New Orleans this weekend for her sixth Essence Festival appearance.
Performing at Essence since 2004, Ledisi progressed from the festival's Super Lounges to its main stage. She'll make her second main stage appearance Saturday, July 5.
Ledisi made her Essence main stage debut in 2012.
"It was huge," she said. "A bigger stage, more people. But I look at it all the same, whether it's three people in the audience, 300 or 3,000. I love it either way. I give the same show, but I do run around more on the bigger stage. It's a big stage, so you have to fill it up."
The Essence Festival and Essence organization have been supportive of Ledisi for years. She appeared on the magazine's cover in May and the publication was the singer's media partner for her 30-city spring tour. The singer also worked with Essence for her book "Better Than Alright: Finding Peace, Love & Power."
"They've been very instrumental in my career," she said.
Ledisi released her sixth and latest album, "The Truth," in March. The songs are both bright and warm, featuring Ledisi's confident, glowing vocals and grooving, snapping rhythm.
"I feel so vindicated," she said of the album. "This woman I am now, I love her. She's settled in her own skin, like she can do whatever she wants to do, whatever she puts her mind to.
"But before, everything had to be thought out and carefully planned and worrisome, but still passionate and full of love. There's always love in it. But this time I moved completely naturally and took some risks and felt good about it. It was all-the-way natural. No thought, just have fun and say how it is."
The playing by ear approach seems a natural way to go for a singer from New Orleans, but Ledisi, in fact, left the city when she was 9, moving to Oakland, Calif.
"I didn't like leaving my neighborhood," she recalled. "I loved it there. It's definitely much friendlier than Oakland. New Orleans, we speak whether we like each other or not. It's just a certain mannerism. It's just homier. I missed New Orleans for years, but luckily I was able to go back and forth when I got old enough."
Despite having left New Orleans so young, the city's music made an enduring impression upon Ledisi. She remembers hearing Fats Domino records, for instance, and seeing her mother, who's also a singer, perform.
"Growing up listening to jazz music, zydeco music, everything, living on the rhythm, that's part of who I am," Ledisi said. "And we studied classical music. We listened to country and folk. It wasn't just one style of music. So for everything I do, I mix everything together, just like the jambalaya. And that's part of being from New Orleans.
"You won't hear me singing just R&B. It'll have a little pop thing to it or a little bit of jazz. Sometimes I'll do a rock thing and confuse everybody. But the soul part of it is me carrying it through. That's the line. I'm a soulful singer and that's going to tie whatever I do together."
In addition her solo album, Ledisi's collaborations include a song on fellow 2014 Essence Festival performer Robert Glasper's much-acclaimed 2012 jazz, R&B and hip-hop hybrid project, "Black Radio," "Then There Was You," from Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews' 2011 album, "For True," and, more recently, a song for Dr. John's upcoming Louis Armstrong tribute album.
"I love working with Troy," she said. "It's just like calling your cousin or your sister, 'Hey, baby, come down and do this track with me' 'All right. I'll be over there. I'll be around the corner.' Because he can really sing, I wanted him to sing it. He said, 'No, no. I want you sing it.' So I had a good time working with Troy. And I just did a song with Dr. John. That was fun. I keep as close to my roots as I can."

Which includes the vast majority of players.* ReferencedBy:** In the comic ''Webcomic/FollyAndInnovation'', some of the characters play a hybrid of Monopoly and TabletopGame/{{Risk}}. [[http://follyandinnovation.com/2010/08/you-got-world-history-in-my-economics-you-got-economics-in-my-world-history/]]** In the ''Series/RedDwarf'' novel ''Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers'', Lister wakes up on Mimas [one of the moons of Saturn] after a Monopoly pub crawl around London, which ultimately ends up in him joining the ship. ''Red Dwarf Magazine'' followed several groups of fans replicating the "Monopoly board pub crawl". None apparently ended up in a foreign country, though.** Tim Moore wrote a travel book called ''Do Not Pass GO'', involving a trip around London based on the board.** Nick Carr went to {{Joisey}} in 2013 and took photos of [[http://www.scoutingny.com/what-the-monopoly-properties-look-like-in-real-life/ how the Monopoly properties look today]]. In real life, these properties are quite unbalanced - North Carolina Avenue has the Resorts Casino, while Pennsylvania Avenue has...a bus depot.** Creator/JimCarrey makes a reference to Monopoly in ''Film/AceVentura: When Nature Calls''.---> '''Ace:''' Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. And you must be the Monopoly guy...''(leans in, whispering)'' Thanks for the free parking.** In ''VideoGame/NetHack'', it is ([[YetAnotherStupidDeath unsurprisingly]]) possible to die on the very first turn, without making a single move. If this happens, you are told "Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 VideoGame/{{zork}}mids."** Referenced in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' where oil is found under the school and Burns wants to buy it out.--->'''Burns:''' I have a monopoly to maintain. I own the Electric Company ''and'' the Water Works. Plus the hotel on Baltic Avenue!--->'''Skinner:''' That hotel is a dump and your monopoly is pathetic.*** The Simpson family also owns several variant Monopoly boards, including "[[{{Squick}} Edna Krabappelly]]". [[spoiler:Their attempt to play ends in domestic violence.]]*** Also, in an early episode when Homer saves the plant from a meltdown, Bart plays Monopoly with Maggie in which he draws cards until he finds a "second place beauty contest" card.*** One city hall meeting scene sees UnclePennybags sitting right next to Mr. Burns. But he soon bails, saying he's late for a ride on the Short Line [railroad].** In ''WesternAnimation/SnoopyComeHome'', Charlie Brown, Lucy, Schroeder and Linus play Monopoly. Lucy taunts Charlie Brown because she has both Boardwalk and Park Place; Chuck ends up landing on 'Go to Jail'. Lucy then lands on one of Schroeder's Green properties--specifically, Pacific Avenue--with hotels, no less. (The rent Schroeder asks, $1275, is accurate to a hotel on Pacific.)** Music/TomLehrer gets in on it, too, in "We Will All Go Together When We Go":--->You will all report directly to your respective Valhallas--->Go directly, do not pass "Go", do not collect 200 [[PainfulRhyme dollahs]]...** Death of the Literature/{{Discworld}} has reported playing something called '[[BlandNameProduct Exclusive Possession]]' in lieu of [[ChessWithDeath the traditional chess game]]. He was the boot.** In the ''WesternAnimation/OverTheHedge'' movie, everyone argues about the iconic tokens as RJ plans out the raid, and who gets to be the car. He sets the record straight: "I'm the car! I'm always the car."** At the beginning of the ''Series/SmallWonder'' episode "Haunted House", an electrical outage interrupts the Lawsons' Monopoly game.** ''Film/{{Zombieland}}'' has a scene where the main characters play Monopoly with ''actual U.S. dollars''. (Not that they're [[WorthlessYellowRocks worth all that much now]]...)** The Forbes Museum in New York houses all of Malcolm Forbes' eclectic collections, including dozens of Monopoly variants and first print editions. It also includes a special one, printed for his birthday, where all the tiles on the board correspond to the actual companies and properties he owned.** In ''Series/SpinCity'', one of a series of questions Carter asks to see how well Stuart knows him is which playing piece he always uses in ''TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}}'' (it's the shoe).** RealLife: The boardwalk in Atlantic City has signs shaped like the various spaces which indicate where some of the streets are. There is also a fair amount of information about Monopoly in the Atlantic City History Museum, at the north end of the boardwalk.** ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' had them playing it in several strips, but with their own {{Calvinball}}-like rules. For example, Calvin once robbed the bank, causing Hobbes to dump all 12 hotels on Baltic Avenue. Another time, we find out that they write their own cards for the game. Hobbes launches a massive computer scam on the bank ("I think I'll buy a few dozen hotels"), and Calvin vows revenge once ''he'' lands on Chance. God only knows what horrors the other cards hold. Viral contagions? Meteor strikes?** In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Gumby}}'' short "Kid Brother Kids", two of the cowboys at the ice cream salon are shown playing Monopoly just before Gumby and his band start their concert.** In the ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' episode "The Art of the Steal," Norm brings a copy of the game to the bar to teach Woody about economics, and it shows general elements in playing the game, such as:*** Choosing who plays what (Frasier gets the racecar because he can imitate the car the best, while Cliff gets the thimble with no argument),*** Properties (Woody buys a railroad, then puts a house on it),*** And lost pieces (Norm is the lead pipe from Clue, there are pieces from Candy Land and a Chinese Checker, and they use a giant pair of dice, as though they're on ''Series/HighRollers'').** ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'': Avery plays Monopoly to win. Timulty just enjoys reminding everyone that he's playing as the hat.** Comedian Creator/DaneCook has a few Monopoly-related jokes.*** Growing up the youngest of seven children, he got last pick of the Monopoly pieces. Since his parents were also playing, and there are only 8 pieces, he would use the knife from ''Clue''.*** He also notes that almost every Monopoly game anyone plays usually ends like this:---> "Fuck this game! It's four in the morning, grandma; YOU WIN! I'm sitting on Baltic with crap! And where did you get the pink fifties, you cheating whore? Don't touch me, grandpa, ''nana'' is a ''CHEATING WHORE!'' And I should cut your head off with this little doggy!"** According to ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'', Monopoly is how the universe punishes truly awful mistakes. Its object is "to fully explore the sensations of boredom, sorrow and rage." Everyone wins. (Unless you're the ''actual'' winner, in which case "your prize is watching friendships die, turn by endless turn.")** Music/JethroTull's "Thick as a Brick":---> We'll make a man of him\\Put him to trade\\Teach him to play Monopoly\\And to sing in the rain** In the ''Series/That70sShow'' episode "Cat Fight Club", the characters play Monopoly. Jackie is winning, and she happily notes that it's just like real life - she's the richest. And Fez flips over the board.** In ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'', it's joked that Monopoly is actually a weapon for the (somewhat inept) Martian invasion, intended to disrupt friendships and waste time. In the annotations for the same strip, the creator launches into a [[OutOfCharacterMoment uncharacteristically vitriolic]] rant about the game, expressing a deep, deep hatred for it and disbelief that something that spits in the face of good gaming design still makes so much money.** The title character in ''WesternAnimation/ArthurChristmas'' buys a Christmas-themed variant of the game as a gift for his quarrelsome family. They don't manage to play it too well, since Arthur's dad (SantaClaus), grandfather (retired Santa), and older brother (heir apparent to the Santa post) all fight over who gets to be the Santa piece.** Played in universe in ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses''. Some jokes include Del owning everything on the board, Rodney getting annoyed and throwing the board off the table and Grandad saying he doesn't want to stay in a hotel next to a waterworks and isn't paying.** In ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' episode where all six kids get the measles, there's a scene where four of them are playing Monopoly.** Some major retailers or restaurants (most notably UsefulNotes/McDonalds) run annual ''Monopoly'' themed promotions, based around collecting pieces to form monopolies for a prize.** In ''Film/FridayThe13th1980'', Brenda, Bill and Alice play "{{Strip|Poker}}" Monopoly.** ''Series/TheYoungOnes'' were quite fond of ''Monopoly'', up to a point:*** In "Boring", Vyvyan became bored with the usual rules and edited the cards to create his own house rules, including "You have won second prize in a beauty contest. Smash Rick over the head with the bank," "Congratulations! It is your birthday. You may set fire to Rick's bed," and "Get out of jail free: You may keep this card, sell it, or stick it up Rick's bottom."*** Vyv was also frustrated by Neil's attempt to nail some plates to the table in "Cash" because "What happens when we want to play Monopoly? Go directly to plate? Do not pass plate nailed to the table by a stupid hippie?"** In the ''Series/{{Poirot}}'' episode "The Lost Mine", Literature/HerculePoirot and Captain Hastings play Monopoly from the beginning of the episode, and this becomes a RunningGag throughout said episode. Eventually, Poirot learns that playing the game could be the clue to solving the mystery of who killed Han Wu Ling.** The game "Monotony" is in [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy's]] board game collection.** In ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'', Jason has an unusual strategy for winning -- keep shaking the dice (and calling for doubles) until all the other players give up and quit.** In an ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' comic book story, the titular Eds play a parody of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. When the game begins, Ed says "Do not pass go. Do not collect $200".* {{Trope Namer|s}}: This board game has named the following tropes:** GetOutOfJailFreeCard** UnclePennybags----!![[Series/{{Monopoly}} The Gameshow]]:* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: All 12 episodes circulate, but haven't been rerun.* MissingEpisode: A 13th episode was planned but apparently not even taped. Instead, ABC debuted ''America's Funniest People'' after the success of its aired pilot on May 1.* OldShame: The second unaired pilot featured Creator/PattyMaloney playing the part of Uncle Pennybags and basically being a living token for the contestants to move. The aired episodes replaced her with lights on the board.* OneBookAuthor: For Reilly.* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Marc Summers and Peter Tomarken are two well-respected emcees, and they were in 1990. The fact that Creator/MervGriffin decided to go [[StealthPun off the board]] with Mike Reilly when the show finally went to series, especially since Tomarken wasn't really doing much of anything, may say a lot about Merv.----!![[Pinball/{{Monopoly}} The Pinball Machine]]:* The game has numerous ticker messages, among them being:** "The ELECTRIC COMPANY keeps the Bank safe from {{Pinball/Safe Cracker}}s"** "Become [[Pinball/TheTwilightZone Lost in a Zone]] – Play Pinball."** "Game tip – collect all property to play [[WizardMode LAND GRAB]]"** "NASDAQ +230 DOW JONES +410 … We Wish"** "[[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Never Panic]]"** "A Jackpot a day keeps boredom away"** "[[Pinball/FunHouse Hey, it's only Pinball]]"** "The future of Solar Electricity is Bright"** [[MediumAwareness "This sign is fun to watch"]]** "Did you know famous people play MONOPOLY?"** "Take a Chance – Play MONOPOLY"** "Boardwalk, Park Place … Not just for rich folks"** "The ball is always wild"[[note]]A reference to legendary pinball designer Harry Williams, who referred to the unpredictable nature of pinball by saying, "The ball is wild."[[/note]]** [[LampshadeHanging "How many messages does this sign have, anyway?"]]** "Electric Company reports POWER ON in game"** "Make new friends... then beat them by playing ''Monopoly''** Even the custom operator's message can be seen (if there's one set).----

The Head-Place Of Ferchu
Ferchu Longsech (the Exile), although of the Connachtmen, was engaged in
battle and plunder with Ailill and Medb. From the day these came to the
kingship, there never was a time that he fared to their camp or took part in
their expeditions or shared in their straits or their needs or their hardships,
but he was ever at their heels, pillaging and plundering their borders and land.
At that time he sojourned in the eastern part of Mag Ai. Twelve men was his
muster. He learned that a single man checked and stopped four of the five grand
provinces of Erin from Monday at Summer's end till the beginning of Spring,
slaying a man on the ford every one of those days and a hundred warriors every
night. He weighed his plan privily with his people. "What better plan could we
devise?" quoth he, "than to go and attack yonder man that checketh and stoppeth
four of the five grand provinces of Erin, and bring his head and his weapons
with us to Ailill and Medb? However great the injuries and wrongs we have done
to Ailill and Medb, we shall obtain our peace therefor, if only that man fall by
our hand."
Now this was the resolve they took, and they proceeded to where Cuchulain
was. And when they came, it was not fair fight nor combat with one they
vouchsafed him, but at one and the same time the twelve men fell upon him.
Cuchulain turned on them, and straightway he smote off their twelve heads. And
he set up twelve stones in the earth for them, and he put the head of each one
of them on its stone and he likewise put Ferchu Longsech's head on its stone.
Hence Cinnit Ferchon Longsig is henceforth the name of the place where Ferchu
Longsech left his head, to wit, Cenn-aitt Ferchon ('the Head-place of Ferchu').
Mann's Fight
Medb despatched Mann son of Muresc son of
Darè, of the Dommandach, to fight
with Cuchulain. Own brothers were he and Daman, Ferdiad's father. A man, rough,
inordinate in eating and sleeping was this Mann. An ill-tongued foul-mouthed man
like Dubthach Doel ('Black-tongue') of Ulster. A man, stout, mighty, with
strength of limb like Munremur ('Thick-neck') son of Gerrcend ('Short-head'). A
fiery champion like Triscoth, the strong man of Conchobar's household. "I will
go," said he "and unarmed, and I will grind him between my hands, for I consider
it no honour nor credit to use arms against a beardless madcap such as he."
Therewith he went to attack Cuchulain. There he was, himself and his
charioteer on the ford watching the host. "A lone warrior approacheth us here,"
cried Laeg to Cuchulain. "What manner of man?" asked Cuchulain. "A dark, black
man, strong, bull-like, and he unarmed." "Let him go by thee," said Cuchulain.
At that he comes nigh them. "To fight with thee am I come," Mann announced.
Therewith they fell to wrestling for a long time, and thrice Mann threw
Cuchulain, till the charioteer incited Cuchulain. "Were it the champion's
portion thou wast contending for in Emain," spake Laeg, "thou wouldst be all
powerful over the young bloods in Emain!" At these words the hero's wrath and
warrior's rage returned to Cuchulain, so that he overcame Mann at the
pillar-stone and he fell to pieces in morsels. Hence cometh Mandachta ('the
Plain of Mann's death').

Tom Phat
Oct 19 2010
Category: Asian, Dinner, Lunch, breakfast
Tubbymistress is walking down Sydney Road, in search of friends and food. On her hit list is Tom Phat – not an obese nor 'fully sick' man named Tom but a funky Thai-style restaurant firmly on the radar of her friend, Miette.
It's cold, and she clutches her straw-coloured handbag even tighter as she scours the buildings for street numbers. As soon she sees Tom Phat, she scurries inside, relieved to be off the street and minutes closer to being fed.Tom Phat
184 Sydney Rd
Brunswick VIC
Tom Phat was filled to the brim when I arrived at 7.00 on a Thursday night, its slender dining area dimly lit and buzzing with conversation. We were seated at the tail end of the room beside the doors to the kitchen and toilets, a high-traffic area that was surprisingly comfortable. The passing traffic certainly wasn't as distracting as the specials board, which threw my pre-dinner recon mission into turmoil, for the twice-cooked duck with mandarin, stir-fried bok choy and chilli caramel sauce joined a handful of must-try dishes that caught my attention on their website earlier that day.
Indeed, Tom Phat's stylish menu is spiked with too many goodies to name. Breakfast would be a regular option if I lived closer, and the dinner menu is definitely worth driving for. The mains fall between $16 and $20, and include some great interpretations of Asian favourites, such as the green curry that was chosen by friend Cyril. It arrived in quick time, a generously sized, kaffir-lime-infused pool of mellow green artfully studded with chicken and sweet corn dumplings, a dish that left me questioning why I'd so quickly fallen under the spell of the duck.
There are some great vegetarian and vegan options, dishes that could sweet-talk a carnivore. The Buddha's delight claypot (pictured at top) was one that leaned over and whispered in my ear, enticing me with its disarming combination of bean curd, mushroom, black bean and bean thread noodles … until the duck intervened to quash any hope of vegetarian defection. My much loved vegan, Miette, opted for the tempeh curry special, a dish that prompted a post-dinner rave.
If you're craving something sweet, be sure to look at the specials board as there are no desserts on the menu. I couldn't help but succumb to the mango crumble, a tiny pot of sweetness that ended my evening nicely. The topping was kind of so-so, but I stumbled across buried treasure when my spoon hit the mango. Nice.
TUBBYMISTRESS SAYS: This foody oasis at the southern end of Sydney Road is worth exploring with friends, especially if you're in the neighbourhood. I can understand why it was a favourite of former Brunny-dweller Cyril, as it's great for midweek dinner and drinks – semi-casual, with vibrant food and a spicy dash of character.

(Originally known as Pyroclastic Flow)
Hi, I'm Gala! I'm a not-so-young British lady who adores many kinds of anime, manga and video games. When it comes to fanfics, I enjoy gen and pairings alike; as long as the characterisation is good, the spelling and grammar aren't sloppy and there's no gratuitious bashing, I'm not too fussy. My favourite sorts of fics tend to be oneshot character introspectives, both as a reader and as a writer; I just love getting into characters' heads and seeing what makes them tick.
I know I don't post new fics very often; while I get quite a few ideas for fics, I'm horribly prone to writers' block, and when I do feel inspired to write, I tend to be extremely critical of my own work. Therefore, if you've got any constructive criticism to give me, I'd really appreciate it, because I'm always looking to learn and improve.

Fast Facts
- Early-onset Alzheimer's disease is a rare form of AD that usually affects people between ages thirty and sixty. Some cases of early-onset AD, called familial AD (FAD), run in families.
- Late-onset Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of AD. It occurs in people age 60 and older. Scientists studying the genetics of AD have found that the mutations seen in early-onset AD are not involved in this form of the disease.
National Impact
- 54% of the adult U.S. population has been touched by Alzheimer's. Read more.

Many people wrote off Wales' chances of challenging for the RBS 6 Nations title after they lost their tournament opener at home to Ireland.
Away victories against France, Italy and Scotland have reignited their challenge, while a seven-point win against Lancaster's men at the weekend will hand Howley and Wales the most unlikely of tournament titles.
Lancaster insists England's challenge at the Millennium Stadium is as big, if not bigger, than an autumn international against the mighty All Blacks.
And the England boss described Wales' patchy form in the build-up to the tournament, not as bad as the results indicate.
"People underestimate the tribal rivalry of the Six Nations," said Lancaster.
"It is very hard to win and the pressure can come on very quickly.
"But if you want to win a World Cup you have to be able to deal with it.
"This is a fantastic tournament and this weekend, which is an effective shoot-out, is great preparation for 2015.
"Sometimes winning and losing is portrayed as black and white but it's never like that in my opinion.
"The Welsh team did not go from reaching a World Cup semi-final and being Grand Slam champions to a team that was poor.
"The three games they lost to Australia they could have won all three and through the Six Nations they have grown in.
"Now they come into this game on the back of three away wins which is a great position to be in.
"Wales will be hugely motivated irrespective of what happened last week. Now they have a chance of winning the championship it raises the stakes."

US says it has new evidence British MP took bribes from Saddam
Page Tools
Smoking gun
George Galloway before Congress in May.

United States congressional investigators said they had amassed evidence that a maverick British MP profited from the United Nations oil-for-food program for Iraq and knowingly made false or misleading statements to Congress when he denied that.
The Senate Governmental Affairs subcommittee on investigations will hand over its 60-page findings on George Galloway to the US Justice Department and to British authorities, said the panel chairman, Senator Norm Coleman.
Congressional investigators said Mr Galloway could face charges in the US of perjury, making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. Each charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and a $US250,000 ($A330,000) fine.
Appearing before the sub-committee in May, Mr Galloway ridiculed Mr Coleman and rejected as "utterly preposterous" accusations he profited from the defunct oil-for-food program. A spokesman for Mr Galloway, Ron McKay, said the politician was willing to appear in a US court if charged with perjury. Earlier, Mr Galloway released a statement saying: "I have not made a penny out of oil deals with Iraq or indeed any other kind of deal."
However, Mr Coleman said his investigators confirmed their evidence, which includes numerous bank records, in interviews with the former Iraqi deputy prime minister, Tariq Aziz, a friend of Mr Galloway's, the former Iraqi Vice-President, Taha Yasin Ramadan, and the former Iraqi oil minister, Amer Rashid.
"We have what we call the smoking gun," Mr Coleman said. "Galloway was anything but straight with the committee; he was anything but straight with the American people. You heard a lot of bombast."
Aziz allegedly told the investigation the oil had been allocated in the name of two of Mr Galloway's agents. However, he added, it was "for the benefit" of Mr Galloway and the Mariam Appeal, a charity fund he started.
Aziz also allegedly told investigators Mr Galloway asked for his and his wife's name to be omitted from official documents. However, the report found that several documents did mention Mr Galloway by name.
The Coleman panel is one of several congressional committees investigating allegations Saddam Hussein manipulated the $US64 billion oil-for-food program to get kickbacks and build international opposition to UN sanctions imposed after the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
Mr Galloway was elected to parliament in May as a representative of his own anti-war Respect party following his expulsion from the Labour party.
Reuters, The Guardian, Associated Press
- Galloway personally solicited and was granted oil allocations from the government of Iraq during the rule of Saddam Hussein. The regime granted Galloway and the Mariam Appeal (an organisation he set up to help Iraqis suffering from sanctions) eight allocations totalling 23 million barrels from 1999 through to 2003.
- Galloway's wife, Dr Amineh Abu-Zayyad, received approximately $US150,000 ($199,000) in connection with one of those oil allocations.
- The Mariam Appeal received at least $US446,000 in connection with the oil allocations under the oil-for-food program.
- The regime received improper "surcharge" payments amounting to $US1.64 million from the oil allocations.
- Galloway knowingly made false or misleading statements under oath before the US Senate subcommittee.

THE bets are on that Stretford shoppers will help a Ladbrokes manager gather goodies for British forces serving in Afghanistan.
Marie Ward, 50, a customer services manager at Ladbrokes in Stretford Mall who is mum to two serving soldiers, is appealing for people to donate sweets, snacks, toiletries and games which she can parcel up and send out to British troops abroad.
She reckons it's a racing certainty that the packages will prove a big hit with the service men and women in the war zone who receive them.
Marie, who has been in her current role at Stretford Mall's Ladbrokes branch since last Easter, has two sons who are serving soldiers.
The youngest of them is currently on the battle line in Afghanistan with his regiment, the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) with whom he has served since he joined the army at the age of just 16.
Since he arrived for his tour of duty last September, she has been sending him parcels containing goodies such as sweets and chocolates, hair gel, coffee sachets, cup-of-soups and pot noodles.
He has been sharing his treats with his mates who all look forward to a little taste of home arriving.
But it recently occurred to Marie that while she and some of her friends were involved in putting together the parcels, people coming into Ladbrokes and shopping at other Stretford Mall stores might also want to help bring a little comfort to the troops.
She said: "Since my son went out to Afghanistan I must have sent him over 20 parcels containing all sorts of things the lads and girls can't easily buy out there, although the army does its absolute best to make them as comfortable as possible.
"Just before Christmas, Ladbrokes made sweets available for the staff but we were finding that we had a few too many, so that's when I came up with the idea of collecting them and putting them into the parcels for the troops.
"I even composed a little poem, which I put up in the staff area of our shops at Stretford Mall, Old Trafford and Davyhulme, asking colleagues to let me have any sweets they didn't need.
"It went, 'If Santa brings you lots of sweets/More than you can eat/Think of our boys in Afghanistan/And send them all a treat.' "The response from our people has been great and we collected three kilos of sweets which were added to the parcels and sent off in time for the troops to receive them at Christmas.
"Now I'm taking the idea one step further by inviting customers who come into our shop and the other stores in Stretford Mall to donate their unwanted sweets and other small Christmas presents to a parcel appeal."
Colin McCrory, Stretford Mall Manager, said: "Our shoppers are a really generous bunch so I feel sure Marie's appeal will get some great support.
"Particularly when people realise Marie will be sending them directly to our brave troops abroad. It's a terrific idea and if anyone has any sweet treats which they think they can do without, then I would urge them to drop them in to Marie at Ladbrokes in Stretford Mall.
"She will definitely find them a welcome and appreciative home!"
Marie added: "These days, many of us get more presents than we need, so it would be nice to send them over to Afghanistan, where our forces are doing a tremendous job in very difficult conditions.
"I think that if we were able to send off quite a few parcels of goodies it would help show the people serving out there that they are not forgotten and are very much appreciated by those of us at home."
Marie, who lives in Harpurhey, Manchester, explained that her family has a strong military tradition. Her husband is a former soldier as were both her father and father-in-law.
Her older son is currently serving with the Royal Dental Corps at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) at Mons in Belgium.
Marie added: "My son, who is out in Afghanistan, tells me that although things are a bit hard at times he is enjoying being out there with his mates.
"They recently had a visit from the pop star Gary Barlow and other acts have been over to entertain them.
"He is due to come home to the UK in the spring and get married to his fiancé in August. But even when he's back I'm planning to keep on sending out the parcels for as long as our forces are there, which I believe is the end of 2014.
"I'm just hoping that people in Stretford Mall will be as generous with my appeal as they are generally with things like this which are run at the centre." Pop into the Ladbrokes store at Stretford Mall to donate to Marie's forces appeal.

It's pretty surprising to us that it's been two years that we've had this blog, and we have yet to review Threadless! We've always loved their designs, but we discovered them when we became pregnant. Since then they've changed from American Apparel to their own tees, so we were unable to review what we already owned. But we took advantage of the recent sale to buy a few tees for ourselves for review.
It was quite a hard decision what to buy as we love so many of their designs. Eventually two were decided upon, The Emergence of the Easter Egg and Flowers in the Attic. Our order came quite quickly, probably because we ordered very early on in the sale. It arrived within three days of placing it. The tees were crowded into the package a bit, but they were fine when we pulled them out. However, we had also ordered a few tees for the Shirt Snob husband and son, and one was missing. This isn't the first time Threadless has forgotten to send us a shirt. After contacting them, they responded promptly and offered a new tee, a credit, or a refund.
We put Flowers in the Attic on right away because we were so excited to own this great design. And unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed. We ordered a medium as that's what we now wear (yay for taking off all that baby weight finally!), and this fit more like an extra small for super tall people. As the Shirt Snob isn't tall and has hips (normal sized ones, although we guess that's more than Threadless will allow), the fit is just awful. Worst part is that the design stretches down too far on the front, so there is no way we can wear this tee in public. Putting it on with jeans makes it bulge underneath. And if we were to tuck it in (which we hate doing), part of the design would be missing. It's also tight around the shoulders. We've had tees before that were a little long or a little tight, but this is definitely the worst we've ever experienced. The Emergence of the Easter Egg fits the same way, although the design as least is only on the top. We had no idea that their women's tees would only fit a super model. They are made well though. The designs are screened quite well, and the tees are high quality.
We are sad that we are unable to wear our new shirts. We will continue to write about Threadless here in the future because we know how much many of our readers love them. But we thought you all should know what we have discovered so you can make an educated decision on whether to buy them or not.

As challenging as running a marathon is, training for one is even more difficult. To make sure that you don't have a miserable race day you've got to spend at least 16 weeks gradually increasing your mileage and building up stamina. That means you're running a whole lot more than just 26.2 miles.
Experts say it's best to train in all different kinds of weather and to mix up the kinds of courses you're running, so you just might end up running up a hill in the pouring rain.
You also have to eat right, stay hydrated, learn to listen to your body's needs, deal with blisters and chafing and possibly even come to embrace the post long run ice bath. (They help you to recover more quickly and really do become more bearable with time!)
But training isn't just about testing your the limits of your body. There's a lot of data you need to keep tabs on. Here's a short list of some of the best apps to have on hand if you're training for a marathon.
Activity Log Apps
Map My Run (Free)
There are a lot of different apps that track your activity—and honestly, they all do pretty much the same things. That being said, Map My Run is my favorite. Both the app and its website are very well designed and easy to use. It's a great way not only to log work outs, but also to switch up your running routine.
The app tracks your route using your Droid's GPS, so that you can venture off the beaten path and easily plot new training courses without worrying how far you've gone. If you tweet a lot (like I do) you can also set your phone to tweet your progress while you run. When you're done with a workout, the app uploads your data to the website so you can monitor progress over time and share your accomplishments with friends.
What's MapMyRun all about?
How can an app improve your health? See how.
RunKeeper GPS Track (Free)
RunKeeper Pro is similar to Map My Run, but it has a very different interface and design. Like Map My Run, RunKeeper tracks your GPS, distance, speed, caloric output and activity history for running. RunKeeper, however, also logs your cross training activities, like cycling, hiking, skiing and swimming.
This app will also occasionally talk to you, reading aloud your stats at every mile marker. This feature means you can tuck your phone away, out of sight and mind, and still monitor your progress as you run. If you happen to be listening to music, RunKeeper will temporarily turn down your tunes so you can hear the voice commands. To track your training over time or tap into the app's social networking features, you can upload your workouts to RunKeeper's website.
Runtastic Running & Fitness (Free)
One of the most popular activity tracker. It is fully integrated with Android wear, which is a great thing for those who don't like running with a phone in hand or pocket. The real voice coach keeps you motivated to reach your goal, it is either running a marathon, lose weight or just improve your fitness level. The pro version comes with detailed statistics, video instuctions, fitness plans and many more for $5.

Calculator Apps
Time Runner (Free)
Not a big fan of watches? Yeah, me neither. If you're training for your marathon the Jeff Galloway way (with intervals) this app is a good way to keep the weight off your wrists. Users can program the app to vibrate or sound an alarm when it's time for you to switch from a run to a walk or from a walk to a run. The app also tracks your chrono time and measures your average low and high pace stats.
MyPlate Calorie Tracker (Free)
While everyone certainly has their own reasons for why they run, some admittedly train because it's a good way to keep pounds off. Calorie Tracker is a place to log what you're eating so you can ensure that you're staying healthy, but remaining on target with your weight loss goals. The app has more than 625,000 different kinds of foods in the database so that you can accurately keep tabs on pretty much everything you eat.
LIVESTRONG.com Tracker for Android

Motivation Apps
RockMyRun (Free)
RockMyRun sticks the science to your running playlist. The selected songs are the results of serious experiments, where different songs were tested how they influence the motivation of runners. You can set programs to match the nature of your runs and choose any genre, pop, rock, house, classical and more.

The Ruslan Fedotenko tryout was successful. Fedotenko played well enough during the preseason — probably even better than the Rangers could have hoped — to earn a one-year contract reportedly worth $1 million.
The Rangers remain under the cap by about $1M and have some maneuverability in their roster, which is two over the max at 25, but with Chris Drury and Vinny Prospal likely to start the season on injured reserve.
Fedotenko, the former Penguins winger who also played for John Tortorella in Tampa, was solid throughout the preseason, not only offensively, but also physically and in all three zones.
Here's the official release from the Rangers:
New York, October 4, 2010 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the Rangers have agreed to terms with free agent forward Ruslan Fedotenko.
Fedotenko, 31, skated in five pre-season contests with the Rangers, registering one goal and six assists for seven points, along with two penalty minutes and a plus-five rating. Fedotenko led the team in assists, points and plus/minus rating, and tied for second on the club with 11 shots. His six assists are also tied for sixth in the league, while his seven points are tied for 11th in the NHL.
Fedotenko is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion, having helped Tampa Bay capture the title in 2003-04 and Pittsburgh in 2008-09. He established a post-season career-high with 12 goals during the 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and tied for second in the NHL in goals and game-winning goals (three), and ninth in the league with 14 points in 22 playoff contests. Fedotenko tallied both Lightning goals in the Cup-clinching 2-1 victory vs. Calgary in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on June 7, 2004. During the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he established a career-high with seven playoff assists and tied his career-high, and ranked fourth on Pittsburgh, with 14 points in 24 contests.
Last season, he recorded 11 goals and 19 assists for 30 points, along with 50 penalty minutes in 80 games with Pittsburgh. It was the seventh consecutive season, and eighth overall, the nine-year NHL veteran reached the 30-point plateau. He registered seven multi-point performances, including a three-assist effort on January 21 vs. Washington. The three assists tied his career-high for most assists and points in a single game. Fedotenko tallied his 300th career point with an assist on January 28 vs. Ottawa, and skated in his 600th NHL game on October 7 vs. Phoenix.
The 6-1, 200-pounder has skated in 677 career games with the Philadelphia Flyers, Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Islanders, and Pittsburgh Penguins, registering 150 goals and 158 assists for 308 points, along with 419 penalty minutes and a plus-15 rating. Fedotenko enjoyed his most productive season in 2005-06, establishing career-highs with 26 goals, 41 points and 164 shots in 80 games with Tampa Bay. In 2008-09, he tallied a career-high, 23 assists and plus-18 rating in 65 games with Pittsburgh. Fedotenko has also recorded 20 goals and 11 assists for 31 points, along with 54 penalty minutes in 83 career post-season contests with Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh.
The Kiev, Ukraine native originally signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Flyers on August 3, 1999, and made his NHL debut on October 24, 2000 vs. the Rangers. Internationally, Fedotenko has also represented his native Ukraine at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, tallying one goal and four penalty minutes in one contest.

We have been making these for YEARS now! We all crave them from time to time and we always eat way too many!! My daughter Katie will crave these like no other. These have become one of her most favorite dessert's ever! Because she loves them so much and is always making them for us, we now can't make these without thinking of her. If your not a big fan of the nuts just leave them out, there are many times we use them and not the next. If your making these for a crowd you just double the recipe to make a 9 x 13. I promise you these bars are very tasty and gooey! XOXO

- 1¼ finely crushed graham crackers (about 7 whole crackers)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1⅓ cups coconut
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and melt the butter in a square baking pan in the oven.
- Layer, in order, the graham cracker crumbs, nuts, chocolate chips, and coconut over the butter. Pour the milk slowly and evenly over the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes, cool and cut into bars.
- Variation: Add a layer of 1 cup butterscotch chips after the chocolate chips

The hauberk, which was worn over the gambeson, was the chief body defence.
What now is thy wont in the handplay with the helm and the hauberk of rings?
Then, it would seem, a back plate was added also, worn over the hauberk.
A hauberk, or coat of mail, composed of steel rings, protected his body.
When you carried war into my country in the King your father's time, I met you in a hauberk of mail.
Like his brother-in-arms, at Puig, he wears the camail and hauberk.
But one day De Guader came into her bower in full harness, wearing helm and hauberk, with his great two-handed sword by his side.
Each man had his hauberk on, with his sword girt and his shield at his neck.
Each donned his hauberk, mounted his good horse, and then with Jaufry parted from that spot.
We now prove Homer's knowledge of the hauberk, clasped at front and back.

claytontullos - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkSometime in the next few months I will be buying a new large smartphone... my nokia n900 just isn't doing it for me anymore.
I'm leaning towards a 4.3 or 4.5 inch smartphone as something to blur the line between smartphone and tablet. The other requirement is that the phone be compatible with squareup's credit card reader (I may be opening my own business as a solo soon) which nixes all windows phones.
I currently live in an area with ~200,000 people which no carrier as announced plans to bring 4g too... anyway 3g is fast enough for any feature I would use on the phone.
I suppose the point of the above ramble is to point about that the Galaxy S 2 looks like a contender, I just wish I knew what was upcoming in the pipeline. Reply
Omega215D - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkPhonescoop, phonearena, and engadget mobile tend to give an outlook on future devices, though they are all speculative as handset manufacturers and providers have final say on when a device is released. Reply
dagamer34 - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkYou'll always be waiting for a phone of the future but this phone is very good now. 2 years from now, you won't be laughed at for having a Galaxy S II. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkI'm not sure what you can take from not yet being listed by anyone for 4g expansion plans. AFAIK VZW hasn't published any detailed 2012 plans, but with a goal of full coverage sometime in 2013 I'd expect to see most places that aren't minimally inhabited cornfields/forests to get their 4G coverage next year. Reply
Johnmcl7 - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkI've also got a N900 which is sadly feeling pretty old given support has been dropped for a long time, I've tried both a Galaxy S2 and Sensation and while the Galaxy was very impressive I don't know if I can live without a keyboard. Annoyingly we're not getting the Droid 3 in the UK or so it seems as that seems the closest replacement for the N900.

asmoma - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkEvery windows phone 7.0 phone only have a adreno 200 GPU. And you(Anand) described the user interface "liquid". I have a HTC mozart and every microsoft developed app runs at 60 fps.
Even the 1. generation iphone does have enough gpu "horsepower" and memory bandwidth to scroll at 60 fps (480x320).
I would not blame the scrolling performance on the hardware. Reply
steven75 - Monday, September 12, 2011 - linkYeah it's definitely the OS. Not sure why Anand doesn't just come out and say that the core of the OS is still not 3D accelerated. Reply
ph0tek - Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - linkIt's stated both here and in the review that the Android UI and browser are GPU accelerated on most Android phones. It's not just the hardware here that makes it smooth. But so far Samsung have done the best job of accelerating the UI.
By default Android 2.3 is not GPU accelerated so it's left up to the manufacturers. But Android 3.0 on tablets is GPU accelerated by default. Icecream Sandwich will surely bring GPU to phones without the manufacturer having to do it.
I've also tested this by clocking my own GSII down to 800MHz using the Set CPU app, and even at this speed it's just as smooth as any iPhone. Even at 500MHz it's still good. So it's not just the hardware, it is actually GPU accelerated.
I do think it's taken Google WAY too long to get GPU acceleration though. Reply
pSupaNova - Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - linkI don't agree. Google aimed Android to run on as much hardware as posible, Adding GPU acceleration would have made the task much harder just look at how many SOC's WP7 runs on.
I would rather have the huge choice hardware & features then the superficial Smooth UI of the other OS'es Reply
asmoma - Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - linkSuperficial smooth UI?
60 fps is VERY underrated by the tech savy. I have a windows phone 7 and a HP touchpad(had pre plus before the wp7). And navigating through the wp7 is so much faster. I am not talking about loading, but navigating through lists.
And who cares what SoC is behind the screen if a higly optimized OS performes better with a 6-12 months old SoC than a unoptimized energy eating expensive SoC? Reply
THX - Thursday, September 15, 2011 - linkTotally agree. There's nothing "superficial" about an interface that is smooth and fluid.
When I play with an iphone it actually feels like I'm manipulating an object that's directly beneath the screen. This was on my old 3GS from 2009. Compare that to my current Samsung Fascinate (galaxy s) and the iphone (and WinMo7 for that matter) is so much smoother.
A laggy interface just feels flaky, old, and instable. Reminiscent of the BSOD days from the 90s. I love Android but they better stop the choppiness by the time my contract runs out. :p Reply

Troubled former female professional wrestler and reality star Chyna (Joanie Laurer) was rushed to the hospital after collapsing and falling unconscious backstage at a popular adult film Expo.
Chyna was scheduled to make a appearance before fans at the 2012 Exxxotica Expo today but was found slumped over in unconscious backstage at the Miami Beach convention Center about 4 PM local time and was rushed to a nearby hospital by paramedics.
Chyna was the main headliner for the adult trade show which features adult films, products and toys. She was in attendance to promote her latest adult film and do a photo opportunity and autograph signing at a booth.
This story is still developing and we will have more on Chyna very soon as we are waiting to hear back from our sources who are very close to the star.

Senator Dale M. Volker Passes Legislation To Expand Hunting Using Rifles On Southern Tier
(Albany, NY) Senator Dale M. Volker (R-I-C, Depew) today passed legislation that will expand hunting, with the use of rifles on the Southern Tier. The bill would allow Chemung, Steuben and Yates counties to use rifles for hunting deer and bear.
"Last year, we passed legislation that would allow several counties located on the Southern Tier to use rifles for the hunting of bear and deer," said Senator Dale M. Volker. "Last year's bill has proven to be a tremendous success. For several years, the growth in the population of deer in the Southern Tier have been profound. By allowing rifle hunting for deer and bear in this region of our state, we can humanely lower the deer population as they often die of starvation. It will also prevent human deaths from automobile accidents that have been rising from vehicles hitting deer on our highways. Additionally, our business community is also seeing increased economic activity, since sportsmen often purchase equipment, food and auxiliary supplies when they hunt with their wives, sons and daughters."
Senator Volker's bill from last year, which is now law, allowed hunters to use rifles during open season for deer and bear in the counties of Allegany, Chautauqua, Chenango, Herkimer, Montgomery, Oneida, Oswego, Otsego, Schoharie and Tioga, as well as certain rural towns in Broome County in those areas east of the Susquehanna River. Today's legislation would expand the use of rifles in hunting deer and bear to include Chemung, Steuben and Yates counties.
Robert Keicher, Regional Director and Director of New York's Safari Club International said, "On behalf of all sportsmen and sportswomen of New York State, we would like to personally thank Senator Volker for his continuing support and dedication to all conservation issues brought forth by Safari Club International. We would also like to thank all those State Senate members for supporting the sportsmen and sportswomen of New York State. They are truly conservation minded."
There are more deer in New York State than there were 10 years ago and there are fewer deer hunters than in previous years. Crop damage and deer and automotive collision is increasing by significant numbers and it is costing New York State taxpayers millions of dollars in damages. Expanding the law to include hunting with rifles in the Southern Tier counties may help control the deer population in those areas and simultaneously stimulate economic activity for area businesses. Additionally, the firearms that have been traditionally legal for hunting big game have become safer and less damaging to the animal.

COPPERAS COVE – Despite several empty seats at the Copperas Cove Civic Center, Copperas Cove's mayoral candidates and Place 1 candidates spent Monday night giving their stances on important city issues.
With a two-minute introduction for each candidate and two-minute limits per question, many of the questions posed to the candidates regarded actions that can be taken to help foster the growth of the city, the relationships between the city and entities within the city and the advocacy of Copperas Cove's needs for state and national representatives.
Each candidate gave similar responses to each of the 18 questions delivered by moderator County Judge John Firth, with the U.S. Highway 190 northeast and southeast bypass at the top of the priority list.
The candidates were asked what issues the council should advocate through the elected U.S. congressman that would serve to benefit Copperas Cove.
Place 1 candidates Charlie Youngs and Mark Peterson and mayoral candidate John Hull told attendees they would lobby for the U.S. 190 bypass projects, but mayoral candidate Roger "Odie" O'Dwyer mentioned a possible medical center in the city.
O'Dwyer said building a medical center in Copperas Cove would be a benefit for residents seeking treatment who have issues traveling between Cove and Killeen, Temple or Waco.
"There is money there and I think the city can capitalize on it and get one of those facilities built here and staffed by our residents," O'Dwyer said.
The Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce's governmental affairs committee hosted the political forum to highlight issues important for the residents of Cove.
We just sat down and looked at ongoing things that are pertinent to Copperas Cove," George Willey of the Chamber's governmental affairs committee said about formulating questions for the candidates. "Copperas Cove has unique dynamics because of its proximity to Fort Hood and also some of the things in regard to issues that have come up recently and how they would address some of those things."
Sandy Vegh of Copperas Cove said he was familiar with all the candidates, but came out to the forum to see if their stances on certain issues were in line with his.
"One of the things is to make sure they get along, work together and work for the best interests of the city," Vegh said.
Early voting began Monday and will continue through May 6 with election day on May 9.

text: In writer-director Josée Dayan's Cet Amour-Là, Jeanne Moreau alternately pursues a man more than 40 years her junior and reveals her vulnerability to him. Moreau portrays a real-world acquaintance of hers, novelist-screenwriter Marguerite Duras, in the last 16 years of her life, when she drank too much and took up with fawning protégé Yann Andréa (played in the film by Aymeric Demarigny). Cet Amour-Là breezily depicts the decade-plus span of their affair, during which Duras revived her career, Andréa began his own, and the natural process of aging stymied their open romantic minds. Moreau is magnetic as the wise-but-neurotic scribe, though the same can't be said of Demarigny, whose timid portrayal of a reverent fanboy sucks the energy out of most of his scenes. Dayan's direction is even more problematic. As a 30-year veteran of French television productions, she knows how to move the camera and deploy Angelo Badalamenti's score in such a way that the artistry is invisible and only the tasteful depiction of human drama remains. Cet Amour-Là, however, is way too tasteful. Dayan needs to creep out the crowd a little, to show how passion can overcome a yawning generation gap, and once Duras begins to slide into dementia, the film could stand more (or even some) outright absurdity. Instead, Dayan keeps the material bone-dry, and relies too much on abstract romanticizing of the act of writing. Duras and Andréa are always going on about their work, and speaking rapturously of the literary arts as though they saved souls with each tap of the typewriter keys. And maybe they did. But Dayan doesn't get anywhere close to conveying that kind of mad compulsion. Any profundity in Cet Amour-Là rests solely in the lines on Moreau's face.

Kelly Clarkson Dons Wedding Veil, Flashes Engagement Ring for 'Tie It Up' Cover
She's still got a few months to go before officially becoming a Mrs., but from the looks of Kelly Clarkson's cover art for her new single, this bride's ready to go.
On Saturday, the 31-year-old singer unveiled the cover on her Instagram account, complete with a nod to her engagement to Brandon Blackstock (that's really the yellow canary diamond he gave her) and the single itself, "Tie It Up."
Clarkson is scheduled to perform the single at the 2013 CMA Music Festival in Nashville later today.
The original American Idol and Blackstock got engaged in December after dating for less than one year. The couple are set to tie the knot in the fall.

Swift water rescue crews are on standby on Queensland's northern tropical coast, after the weather bureau issued a flood warning overnight Tuesday.
Coastal areas between Townsville and Cairns are in for a drenching in the next 24 hours, according to the Bureau of Meteorology, with up to 250 millimetres tipped to fall in some parts.
Ingham, Innisfail, Cardwell, Tully, Rollingstone and Babinda are expected to bear the brunt of the extremely heavy rainfall that will build into Tuesday and continue overnight before easing on Wednesday.
The bureau issued a flood watch alert for residents just after midnight on Tuesday, with particular emphasis on residents or workers near rivers and creeks remaining vigilant.
Rollingstone had already received 132 millimetres in the six hours leading up to 4.30am Tuesday, according to the bureau.
"Heavy rainfall associated with a southeasterly wind surge will affect the east tropical coast on Tuesday," the bureau said in the warning issued.
"It will combine with an unstable and extremely moist air mass to enhance rain areas and thunderstorms between Babinda and Rollingstone.
"Heavy rainfall totals in excess of 250 millimetres are possible on Tuesday.
"River level rises above the minor flood level are likely.
"Heavy rainfall may also lead to localised flash flooding."
141mm at Rollingstone & 117mm at Toomulla since 9am Mon. Finally some #rain for #Townsville. https://t.co/FBmpsInT9o pic.twitter.com/UMDTz3hRig— BOM Queensland (@BOM_Qld)
December 28, 2015
A Queensland Fire and Emergency Services spokeswoman said the authority had doubled the number of swift water rescue technicians on standby in Cairns and Innisfail on Tuesday and would continue to assess the situation as the day progressed.
The bureau is due to issue an updated flood warning at midday.
An associated strong wind warning has also been issued for almost all Queensland coastal areas, from the southern Gulf of Carpentaria and down along all the eastern coast from the far north to Gold Coast waters near the New South Wales border.
There are also expected to be further falls in drough-affected areas of Queensland's north west, parts of which have already been drenched by monsoonal rain in the past few days.

This product was added to our catalog on August 31, 2015.
This is the Diatone 250 Mini Color Quadcopter Drone Frame, in Blue color. This 250 class quadcopter is a feature packed double-deck mini quad that combines lightness, durability and a clever design into one small, colorful solution, sure to meet the demands of FPV racers.
The 250 frame is made from a nylon composite material designed to be strong and durable, yet flexible enough to survive the crashes. To be lightweight, the bottom and top deck feature a honeycomb webbing that reduces material and weight.
Down below, the one-piece molded design integrates the deck and all four arms into one convenient piece; the included power distribution board (PDB) also securely attaches below to the molded tabs. Up top, the deck adds a camera mount, supported on vibration dampers, designed to house a Mobius camera, or one similar, for smooth flight footage. If this is not preferred, the camera can also be mounted internally up front!
To improve stability and increased forward speed, each arm features an upsweap, resting on molded landing foot below. The arms also feature large slots to secure your ESC's with zip ties or velcro straps. The same holds true up top with slots to secure your battery in the same fashion.
Lastly, the frame offers an excellent fixed upright position in the rear to mount your FPV transmitter (up to 600mW size). In the event of a crash, the impact is placed on the SMA rather than the PCB.

The Wolfville Historical Society owns a piece of real estate in Hortonville, but no one living today knew why.
It was Acadia University archivist Pat Townsend who studied the papers of the late professor Mortimer Marshall and figured out the property mystery. The site houses a cairn erected to mark the old Acacia Villa School.
In 1963, Marshall researched and wrote A Short History of Acacia Villa School, which was published by the Acadia University Institute. Three years later, the historical society, acknowledging the link between history and tourism in Nova Scotia, decided to erect a cairn.
According to Townsend, who spoke to a recent society meeting, there was already a cairn at Horton Landing to mark the arrival of the Planters. Former Wolfville Mayor Ron Longley, an Acadia history professor, encouraged the project.
Ornithologist Robie Tufts, she said, brought stones in his car to the nine-by-eight-foot corner site donated by Parker Doyle. It was adjacent one of the last school buildings. With volunteer labour, the cairn cost $73.50 to install.
Donald Patterson, a grandson of the long-time principal, participated in the unveilling and Acadia president Watson Kirkconnell presided over the event.
According to Townsend, several historic cairns in Kings County date back to that era, including the Abraham Gesner cairn at Chipman Corner, the Borden cairn, the Rev. George Gilmour gravemarker and the Col. Noble monument, all in Grand Pré.
Townsend noted Marshall collected school programs, calendars, photographs and artifacts from the school. Acacia Villa - originally called the Lower Horton Seminary by Joseph R. Hea, who was principal for eight years - was founded in 1852 as a private school for boys.
Arthur M. Patterson purchased the school and ran it until 1907, when he was succeeded by his son, A.H. Patterson. Besides the proprietor, there were five or six teachers.
By about the 1905 school term, the school allowed girls to attend classes. Acacia Villa School closed in 1920. Today, none of the original buildings remain standing.
Townsend wondered if the UNESCO designation for the Grand Pré area might lead to some interpretive panels where the school used to be.
"There is literally no evidence it was there. For tourists, a few panels would tell a story."
Charlie Curry, who farms nearby, said the cairn itself needs some maintenance.
"It could be more attractive for about $1,000," he said.
Oral history, he added, tells of students making a parade to the long-gone Methodist church in Grand Pré along a wooden sidewalk.
Betty Curry said that, when the school first started, it was where Nova Scotia sea captains sent their sons to get an education. Day students from the area also attended.
Parker Doyle's son, Richard, said he owns a handbell that was used at the school. He said the last building was lived in until 1986 and then torn down. Hurricane Edna, in 1959, destroyed the school's main structure.
