It is not legal advice. It is not intended to replace the OHSA or the regulations. For further information please see full disclaimer.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) gives a worker the right to refuse work that he or she believes is unsafe to himself/ herself or another worker. A worker who believes that he or she is endangered by workplace violence may also refuse work.
The Act sets out a specific procedure that must be followed in any work refusal. It is important that workers, employers, supervisors, members of joint health and safety committees (JHSCs and health and safety representatives understand the procedure for a lawful work refusal.
The right to refuse unsafe work applies to all workers other than specified types of workers in specified circumstances. For further information, please refer to subsections 43(1) and (2) of the Act.
In specified circumstances, the right to refuse unsafe work is limited for:
A worker can refuse to work if he or she has reason to believe that:
The worker must immediately tell the supervisor or employer that the work is being refused and explain the circumstances for the refusal [subsection 43(4)].
The supervisor or employer must investigate the situation immediately, in the presence of the worker and one of the following:
The refusing worker must remain in a safe place that is as near as reasonably possible to his or her workstation, and remain available to the employer or supervisor for the purposes of the investigation, until the investigation is completed [subsection 43(5)]. Although not stated as such in the Act, this interval is informally known as the "first stage" of a work refusal. If the situation is resolved at this point, the worker will return to work.
The worker can continue to refuse the work if he or she has reasonable grounds for believing that the circumstances that caused the worker to initially refuse work continue [subsection 43(6)]. At this point, the "second stage" of a work refusal begins.
If the worker continues to refuse to work after the completion of the employer's investigation, the worker, the employer or someone acting on behalf of either the worker or employer must notify a Ministry of Labour inspector. The inspector will come to the workplace to investigate the refusal in consultation with the worker and the employer (or a representative of the employer). If there is a joint health and safety committee member, a worker health and safety representative or a worker selected by the worker's trade union or, if there is no trade union, by the workers to represent the worker, they will also be consulted as part of the inspector's investigation [subsection 43(7)].
While waiting for the inspector's investigation to be completed, the worker must remain in a safe place that is as near as reasonably possible to his or her workstation and available to the inspector for the purposes of the investigation, unless the employer assigns some other reasonable alternative work during normal working hours or gives other directions to the worker where an assignment of reasonable alternative work is not practicable [subsections 43(10) and (10.1)].
The inspector must decide whether the circumstance(s) that led to the work refusal is likely to endanger the worker (or another person). The inspector's decision must be given, in writing, to the worker, the employer, and the worker representative, if there is one. If the inspector finds that the circumstance is not likely to endanger anyone, the refusing worker is expected to return to work. If the inspector finds that the circumstance(s) is likely to endanger the worker or another person, the inspector will typically order the employer to remedy the hazard.
Yes. While waiting for the inspector to investigate and give a decision on the refusal, the employer or supervisor can ask another worker to do the work that was refused. The second worker must be told that the work was refused and why. This must be done in the presence of a committee member who represents workers, or a health and safety representative, or a worker representative chosen because of knowledge, experience and training [subsections 43(11) and (12)].
The second worker has the same right to refuse the work as the first worker.
The Ministry is of the view that the worker is at work during the first stage of a work refusal and is entitled to be paid at his or her appropriate rate.
A person acting as a worker representative during a work refusal is paid at either the regular or the premium rate, whichever is applicable [subsection 43(13)].
No. The employer is expressly prohibited from penalizing, dismissing, disciplining, suspending or threatening to do any of these things to a worker who has obeyed or sought enforcement of the OHSA [subsection 50(1)]. Please see Part VI of this Guide – Reprisals by the Employer Prohibited, for more information.
First Stage
Worker considers work unsafe.
Worker reports refusal to his/her supervisor or employer.
Worker may also wish to advise the worker safety rep. and/or management rep.
Stays in safe place.
Employer or supervisor investigates in the presence of the worker and the worker safety representative.
Issue Resolved
Worker goes back to work.
Issue Not Resolved
[proceed to the second stage]
Second Stage
With reasonable grounds to believe work is still unsafe, worker continues to refuse and remains in safe place.
Worker or employer or someone representing worker or employer calls MOL
MOL Inspector investigates in company of worker, safety rep and supervisor or management rep.*
Inspector gives decision to worker, management rep./supervisor and safety rep. in writing.
Changes are made if required or ordered.
Worker returns to work.
* Pending the MOL investigation:
NOTE: This chart is available in a print-friendly version.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act permits specified persons to stop work in "dangerous circumstances".
In most cases, it takes both worker and management certified joint health and safety committee members to direct an employer to stop dangerous work (joint stoppage). One must be a certified member representing workers; the other, a certified member representing the employer. In some special cases, a single certified member may have this right. This chapter explains how and when work can be stopped.
Work can be stopped only in "dangerous circumstances" [subsection 44(1)].
This means a situation in which all of the following apply:
The right to stop work in dangerous circumstances does not apply to workplaces in which police and, firefighters are employed or to correctional institutions [clause 44(2)(a)] or to workplaces in which specified types of health workers are employed and where the work stoppage would directly endanger the life, health or safety of another person [clause 44(2)(b)].
If a certified member of the joint health and safety committee has reason to believe that "dangerous circumstances" exist, he or she may ask a supervisor to investigate. The supervisor must do so promptly and in the presence of the certified member who made the request. This certified member may be one representing either the workers or the employer [subsection 45(1)].
If the certified member believes that dangerous circumstances still exist after the conclusion of the supervisor's investigation and any remedial action taken, he or she may ask another certified member (who represents the other workplace party) to investigate [subsection 45(2)]. The second certified member must do so promptly and in the presence of the first certified member [subsection 45(3)].
The second certified member must represent the other workplace party. For example, if the first certified member represents workers, the second must represent the employer.
In prescribed instances, a certified member who represents the constructor or employer but who is not available at the workplace, may designate another person to act for him or her in a work stoppage under section 45 [subsection 45(9)].
The certified members can direct the employer to stop the work or to stop using any part of the workplace or any equipment, machinery, tools, etc. [subsection 45(4)].
The employer must comply with this direction immediately and must ensure that compliance is achieved in a way that does not endanger anyone [subsection 45(5)].
After taking steps to remedy the dangerous circumstances, the employer may request the certified members of the joint health and safety committee who issued the stop work direction, or a Ministry of Labour inspector, to cancel it [subsection 45(7)]. Only the certified members who issued the direction or a Ministry of Labour inspector may cancel it [subsection 45(8)].
If the certified members disagree, either member may ask a ministry inspector to investigate. The Act requires the inspector to investigate and provide both certified members with his or her written decision [subsection 45(6)].
If any certified member in the workplace, or a Ministry of Labour inspector has reason to believe that the procedure for joint stoppage of work will not be sufficient to protect the workers from serious risk to their health or safety, he or she may apply to the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) for a specified declaration or recommendation against the employer [subsection 46(1)], which are described in greater detail below.
In this type of application, the OLRB, using prescribed criteria, must determine if the employer has failed to protect the health and safety of workers. The criteria to be used by the OLRB are prescribed in the Criteria To Be Used And Other Matters To Be Considered By The Board Under Subsection 46 (6) of Act, O. Reg. 243/95 [subsection 46(6)].
If the OLRB finds that the procedure for joint stoppage of work is not sufficient to protect the workers, it may do one or both of the following:
The decision of the OLRB on an application is final [subsection 46(7)].
This procedure applies to a constructor or employer against whom the OLRB has issued a declaration under section 46 of the Act. It also applies to an employer who has advised the joint health and safety committee, in writing, that he or she voluntarily adopts the following procedure [subsection 47(1)].
If a certified member finds that dangerous circumstances exist, he or she can direct the employer to stop work or to stop using any part of the workplace or any equipment, machinery, tools, etc. [subsection 47(2)].
The employer must comply immediately and must achieve compliance in a way that does not endanger anyone [subsection 47(3)].
After stopping the work, the constructor or employer must promptly investigate in the presence of the certified member [subsection 47(4)].
After taking steps to remedy the dangerous circumstances, the employer can ask the certified member, or an inspector, to cancel the direction [subsection 47(6)]. The certified member, who made the direction or an inspector may cancel it [subsection 47(7)].
A certified member who receives a complaint that dangerous circumstances exist is entitled to investigate the complaint and to be paid for the time spent in exercising powers and performing duties during work stoppages.
Where a constructor, employer, worker in the workplace or representative of a trade union in the workplace has reasonable grounds to believe that the certified member recklessly or in bad faith exercised, or failed to exercise powers under section 45 or section 47 to stop work in dangerous circumstances , he or she may file a complaint with the OLRB The complaint must be filed within 30 days of the event to which the complaint relates. The Minister may be a party to these proceedings before the OLRB.
The Board is required to make a decision in respect of the complaint and may make any order that it considers appropriate (including the decertification of a certified member.)
The decision of the OLRB is final.

This paper offers an account of a methodological approach to understanding and developing learning that has been successfully used in a research project on mathematical skills in workplaces. The approach is based on the concept of articulation work, which is concerned with the processes of coordination and integration by which different social worlds intersect and negotiations take place between them, and the role of symbolic boundary objects as mediators for negotiation.

Bankwest is now posting good profit growth as it moves out of its three year turnaround with a new strategy due in September, but it still faces some tough balancing acts to chart sustainable growth.
Bank of Western Australia senior management has been briefing analysts independently from its owner, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, as it moves out of its three-year turnaround with a new strategy due in September.
Although it recorded 20 per cent growth in profit in the half year to the end of December, the bank still needs to reduce its cost-to-income ratio closer to CBA's target of less than 40 per cent (Bankwest's now stands at around 50 per cent).
But with several years of cost cutting and productivity drives already implemented, the best way to continue improve that is by finding new revenue, said CFO Jason Clifton.
"The strategy is not about how we get costs out of this place, the strategy is going to be about how we build this business," he said.
"There is not going to be a radical departure from what we have done in the past – we are going to continue to operate in our target markets around the [small and medium-sized businesses] and our customers in business. It is really around how we can do that more effectively."
As for all banks, with low-lending growth and higher costs of funding Bankwest needs to find sources of revenue outside of lending.
Mr Clifton understands this well. He said rather than targeting new sectors, it needs to get more from existing borrowers. "Our biggest opportunity is about getting a deeper relationship with our customers," he said.
"If we have just got a mortgage customer, then we have an opportunity to look after their transactional banking; if we have lent money to a small-to-medium-size enterprise perhaps there is an opportunity to also do some hedging for them. So there are opportunities to cross sell to customers."
The question is how much demand there will be from Bankwest's customer base for other products outside loans, said JP Morgan banking analyst Scott Manning.
At the same time, keeping a lid on funding costs compared to the growth in loans written remains important. This depends on the ability to attract customers to more sticky, less costly low-interest transaction accounts, rather than high interest savings accounts.
The big banks get about 60 per cent to 65 per cent of their revenue from the difference between their lending rates and their deposit rates – the net interest margin. The regional banks are more reliant on this traditional source of earnings. For Bankwest it is about 85 per cent of revenue.
The bank's net interest income increased by 10 per cent in the six months to December 2011 compared to the prior corresponding period, due to strong loan growth. But non-loan income decreased by 13 per cent and net interest income growth had slowed to 1 per cent compared to the first six months of 2011.
"There is currently a fundamental disconnect [for Bankwest] between strong loan growth and weak deposit growth on the East Coast in particular," Mr Manning said.
"Bankwest would have a higher proportion of its deposits in online, high-cost deposits in the retail bank and they would also have a higher proportion of their corporate deposit book in overnight high-interest accounts."
"They do need to rectify the funding mix, which will take a bit of time," he said.
Independent banking analyst Martin North (formerly of Fujitsu), said Bankwest had reduced its deposit rates compared to some of its competitors.
"They were seen as an organisation with some of the most competitive rates in the market on deposits, but they are not seen as quite as aggressive as some of the other players now."
But he said they had done well in improving customer service compared to other banks, including bringing down call wait times.
Bankwest's Mr Clifton said as well as reducing new branch sizes it had increased "productivity" and customer service by using branch staff to take calls instead of call centres.
"We are either putting kiosks into shopping centres as opposed to branches or redeploying phone calls and directing them into branches during people's downtimes as opposed to getting them into the cost centres," he said.

Moscow defies EU, prohibits gay pride march out of 'respect for morality'
Moscow, May 17, 2013
"According to Russian law, we must work clearly and consistently on maintaining morality, directed to the teaching of patriotism to the growing generation, and not toward unclear aspirations, not to mention taking the city's central squares and streets for this," said Aleksei Mayorov, head of Regional Security for the city of Moscow, according to Interfax
If homosexual activists defy the law and attempt to march as they have in previous years, Mayorov warned that "a certain reaction will follow and the action will be thwarted," according to RIA Novosti. "In our opinion there is no desire for such events in the city."
Mayorov's statements are reflective of public sentiment in Russia, where 87 percent say they are opposed to such "gay pride" events, according to a poll recently conducted by the Levada Public Opinion Center, which also found that 85 percent are also opposed to the creation of homosexual "marriage."
Homosexual "pride" marches are often characterized by open debauchery that includes public nudity, simulated and real acts of sodomy, mockery of Christianity, and public drunkenness.
Moscow's continuing refusal to capitulate to the international homosexual movement's demands is in defiance of European Court of Human Rights, which has ordered the city to allow such demonstrations, as well as the chairman of the Council of Europe, who has denounced Moscow's ban on "gay pride."
Attempts by homosexuals to hold public demonstrations in Moscow and other cities have provoked outrage by religious leaders and ordinary Russian citizens, who often confront the marchers with force. Police have found it necessary to detain and arrest homosexuals who have defied local "pride" bans in recent years.
The Russian parliament is currently considering a nationwide ban on homosexual propaganda aimed at minors, a measure that has already been passed by a number of Russian cities.
In neighboring Georgia, priests and faithful of the Orthodox Church broke up a "gay pride" event this week.

I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)
I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!

For shame, SJP….for shame.
As far as embarrassing moose moments go this one is right up there i guess. All the other moose in a Swedish town are shaking their heads at SJP after she got drunk on fermented apples and ended up awkwardly stuck in a tree.
To make matters worse the paparazzi was there to capture her look of shame..ass out and everything.
"A stunned Swede discovered a seemingly intoxicated moose entangled in an apple tree.
Per Johansson, 45, who lives in south-western Sweden, says he heard a roar from the garden of his neighbour, who was on holiday, late on Tuesday and went to have a look. There he found a female moose kicking about in the tree. The animal was likely to have been drunk from eating fermented apples." [Guardian]
Good times.

If Tennessee is going to go bowling, Saturday's home game against in-state rival Vanderbilt is a must win.
Provided they can slip by the Commodores, the Vols must also beat Kentucky in Lexington on the final game of the regular season.
Vanderbilt will be a tough out for the Vols. Tennessee has lost three games in a row and four of its last five games.
On the other hand, the Commodores are riding high after beating Kentucky Saturday. If Coach James Franklin's team can finish with wins over Tennessee and Wake Forest, it will boost its value as a bowl team searching for its ninth win of the season.
No doubt if Vanderbilt can finish 8-4, it will be more attractive to bowls such as the Chik-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta or the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville. That would be a money upgrade over previous bowl trips to Nashville and Memphis.
The Vols will be happy just to get a bowl invitation. They will play anywhere, any time. Just let them know. It would be a feather in Vols Coach Butch Jones' brick-by-brick rebuilding project.
It will help to get his younger players more practice time in order to improve weaknesses. It will help keep Jones' 2014 recruiting class more interested in signing letter of intents. Jones' main selling point is available playing time. A bowl trip won't hurt.
Vanderbilt could use the publicity to make a strong finish in the recruiting race. Beating Georgia and Florida in the same season is also a plus in recruiting. It has never been done in Vanderbilt's history.
Both teams must adhere to Franklin's brand of math. Both will be shooting to be 1-0 this week.
Don't think Franklin will allow his team to rest on its laurels and show up flat against Tennessee. He will pound the positives of beating Georgia, Florida and Tennessee in the same season. So what if Georgia and Florida were ranked in the top 25 much of this season, but are currently unranked.
"Coach Franklin has an overall philosophy as to what will happen if we do as he asks and do what he says and those things just happen to come true because we listen to our coach," Vanderbilt quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels said after beating Kentucky, 22-6.
Tennessee is coming off a bye week and they will be rested. Vanderbilt will be playing its third straight game, looking to post its third straight win, all of them against SEC East opponents.
At this point in the season Vanderbilt appears to have the edge on the number of playmakers, especially All-American wide receiver Jordan Matthews. The Commodores also welcomed back Carta-Samuels against Kentucky. The senior should have removed all the rust acquired while out with a knee injury.
Tennessee's defense continues to struggle. They are weak in the secondary, especially with their safeties that have difficulty staying with their opposing receivers. The Vols also need to learn how to tackle in the open field. It's a major flaw in their game and someone like Franklin will exploit the weakness.
According to defensive backs coach Willie Martinez, the Vols used last week to work on fundamentals.
"Our main focus this whole week has been to focus on us," Martinez said last week. "We know who we're playing next, but if we can just improve us from the standpoint whether it was leverage on defense, tackling, creating turnovers, that's been the whole main focus. It was on us."

Four Innovative Mapmakers Re-inventing the Very Idea of Maps
Algae naturally produces oil as a way to store chemical energy. Companies begin by selecting from more than 60,000 strains and then growing the algae. Some strains are more productive or efficient; others thrive better in different regions or climates. Another option is to splice and breed new varieties.
Small amounts of algae are then put into a tank with water and nutrients similar to those in household fertilizer. Typically the algae is now exposed to sunlight, whereupon it rapidly reproduces and undergoes photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide into sugar. The cell then metabolizes the sugar into lipids, or oil. The cell's cavity fills with as much as 60 percent of its weight in oil.
Top Four Ways Algae Can Fix the Future of Energy

| Drug Approvals: Circumstances under which an active ingredient may be simultaneously marketed in both a prescription drug product and an over-the-counter drug product

|Issue Areas/Comments
| A. Should FDA initiate a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of section 503(b) of the action regarding when an active ingredient can be simultaneously marketed in both prescription drug product and an OTC drug product?
| As I understand this issue, you already make this allowance with adult and child medicines which are both sold over the counter. There are also age restrictions on alcohol and cigarettes.
| A. If FDA limited sale of an OTC product to a particular subpopulation, e.g., by making the product available to the subpopulation by prescription only, would FDA be able to enforce such a limitation as a matter of law?
| I am extremely disappointed in the FDA. This agency is suppose to make decisions based on evidence. I feel this issues has been usurped by political agendas. There is no evidence that EC is harmful. As understand it, the reason the age limit even exisits is because there was an absence of evidence not that there was evidence that use would be harmful. Also, why was the age limit raised to 17? What was this decision based on?
Again, age limits are enforced on other products. If that is ultimately the decision of the panel, I don't see any difference in enforcing age restrictions on EC vs alcohol or beer.
| A. Assuming it is legal to market the same active ingredient in both a prescription and OTC product, may the different products be legally sold in the same package?
|I don't see why not.
| The decision on this issue has taken too long. It is time to come to conclusion. There is no evidence that this product is harmful unless taken in excess like any other OTC drug. Oral contraceptive are sold over the counter in most other countries in the world, developed and undeveloped. There is a great deal of confusion among the population about this drug and how it works. I believe a large part of that is due largely to the FDA approval process and internal inconsistencies.

Gilbert and Filiatreau lead Georgetown to second round
Gilbert and Filiatreau lead Georgetown to second round
Pikeville, Ky. - The Lady Bears of Pikeville College were downed by Georgetown College 83-51 in the second game of the 2008 Mid-South Conference Women's Basketball Tournament presented by Community Trust Bank at the Eastern Kentucky Expo Center. The Lady Bears, who finished the 2007-2008 campaign 6-24 overall (1-9 MSC) got that lone league win, interestingly enough, when they knocked off Georgetown 65-54 back on February 21st but today was a different story.
The opening minutes of play saw Georgetown College capitalize on Lady Bear mistakes as the Tigers used three-point goals by Kim Ingle and Ashley Bell as well as an old fashioned three-point play by Jayme Gilbert to build a 16-4 lead early on.
Alice Daniel tried to keep the Bears close as her basket trimmed the lead to 19-8 with 12:50 remaining, but the Tigers responded with a 7-0 run that included baskets by Slonim, Chandler, and Prince and quickly stretched the lead to 26-8 and never looked back.
Pikeville College tried to hang around using Lauren Potts' and Whitney Compton's 11 points each, but couldn't make that big run to get back to within striking distance. The Bears did force Georgetown into 21 turnovers but just did not convert them into many points.
Georgetown did. The Lady Tigers turned 26 Pikeville College turnovers into 30 points and knocked down 10 three-point baskets as well. Coach Susan Johnson's squad was led by Jayme Gilbert's and Katie Filiatreau's 20 points each. Georgetown, who improves to 21-9, will face the University of the Cumberlands in tomorrow's 3:00pm contest with that winner earning the right to play in Monday's championship game.

Chicago Tribune "Cruel and incompetent bosses, plus the pervasive stupidity of people Adams calls 'in-duh-viduals,' are favorite targets in the strip, which appears...on the Internet, in best-selling books, and on refrigerator magnets, coffee mugs, desk calendars, software, neckties, and even underwear." Playboy magazine Does Dilbert creator Scott Adams have a hidden camera in your office or is he just completely in tune with the inept managers, wacky office politics, and nonsensical leadership practices that seem to run wild at your company? Stop looking for the camera. Dilbert has become a hugely successful strip because Adams feels your pain. How? Because this former employee of a major telecommunications company has been there. He's seen the leadership firsthand. And he knows that to successfully navigate the ludicrous world of business, you can't expect common sense to prevail, you need to keep a sense of humor, and above all, you must always look before you leap. The strip's enormous popularity stems from the fact that its millions of readers easily identify with the crazy plots and wacky characters found within the corporate environment of collections like this one, Don't Step on the Leadership. Sure, most companies don't have a bespectacled engineer with a tie permanently curled up, a cynical talking dog, and a manager with two pointy tufts of hair. But it's the outrageous things Dilbert characters do and say that leave readers knowingly nodding their heads and, of course, laughing uproariously. The antics of Dilbert's cast are based not only on Adams' own corporate experiences, but on the more than 300 e-mails he receives each day about the office dramas of his devoted fans.

Elvis fan Sid Shaw claimed Harold Cohen breached the terms of an agreement to convert the basement of Elvisly Yours, in Baker Street, central London.
He wanted Mr Cohen to vacate the room, which they shared, so he could use it.
In August a Central London County court judge ruled against Mr Shaw. The case was due for trial on Tuesday but has now been settled out of court.
'Confidential settlement'
Mr Shaw claimed that Mr Cohen, who runs the Beatles museum next door, had broken the terms of an agreement granting him only temporary use of the space.
He wanted Mr Cohen to vacate the basement so he could use it to launch an Elvis karaoke bus business.
Last month Mr Cohen left the basement, which he used as an exhibition space, after finding a suitable premises on the opposite side of the road.
Mr Shaw, who wore his blue suede shoes to court, said he would shortly be launching his karaoke bus tours.
He said: "The judge urged both sides to put our heads together out of court. The terms of the settlement are confidential but perhaps Mr Cohen is all shook up.
"Hopefully now he'll let it be."

Plans for Winter Quarters
Wilmington had the advantage of being easy to supply and close enough to Philadelphia to harass the British; but the British still controlled Wilmington, and the Americans would have had to wrest it from them. The line of troops between rivers would have forced the British to be vigilant throughout the winter as it was so close to Philadelphia. But the Americans were in no position to wage what would be tantamount to a guerrilla campaign. Most of the generals supported the Lancaster-Reading idea, but Washington was not thrilled with the plan. Likely it was farther away from the British than he would have liked.

LIVINGSTON—The Livingston softball team had a productive start to their annual tournament by winning two out of three games on Friday, however, when bracket play began on Saturday they were eliminated after suffering a 6-2 loss to Central. The Lady Lions had a 2-0 lead over Central after three innings but gave up a run in both the fourth and fifth frames. With time expired the tie-break rule was invoked and a runner was put on second base. The Lady Bulldogs took advantage of the extra inning by scoring four runs off two hits, one walk and one Livingston error. It was a deficit the Lady Lions could not overcome after being limited to just one single in the bottom half of the inning. Defensively, the Lady Lions played well. Outfielders Kara Churchman and Darian Drake snagged everything that came their way and the entire infield played flawless with the exception of one throwing error that accounted for one of the Lady Bulldogs' four runs in the final inning. The Lions plated the first runs of the ballgame, scoring two in the bottom of the third inning. Jillian Barrett started the action with a one out single to left field. Central got the second out of the inning when they caught Hallie Smith's line drive shot into left field. Hailey McClendon was hit by a pitched ball to put another runner on base for the Lions. Savannah Crawford came through with a double into left field scoring Barrett who was safe on a slide at home plate. A RBI single by Jordan Rasberry plated McClendon to put the Lady Lions up 2-0. Central fielded a grounder for the final out of the inning. The Bulldogs methodically got back into the game by scoring one run off one hit and one walk in both the fourth and fifth frames. The damage knotted the score 2-all and forced the game into extra innings. The Lady Lions, who finished with five hits, would connect just two hits over the final three frames. Lindsey Moore connected a one out double but was left stranded in the fourth inning. Jordan Rasberry hit a leadoff single down the left field line in the tie-break inning, but was stranded after Livingston had two batters hit pop flies and another caught trying to advance home on a wild pitch. Hallie Smith worked all six innings for the Lady Lions. Smith gave up six hits, walked three batters and struck out four. Friday's action The Lady Lions saw plenty of action Friday with games against New Waverly, Lovelady and Tyler Lee. New Waverly out hit the Lady Lions 7 to 4 and finished with a 4-2 win in the first game of the day. Both Savannah Crawford and Hailey McClendon smashed doubles for the Lady Lions and Kelsie Fuller and Lindsey Moore collected singles. Bats came alive in the second game as Livingston smashed seven hits in a 12-1 win over the Lovelady Lady Lions. Hallie Smith pitched all three innings and allowed just three hits and finished with a pair of strikeouts. Savannah Crawford hit the only extra base hit for the Lady Lions by collecting a double. Hailey McClendon hit two singles in the win, while teammates Kaylee Click, Jillian Barrett, Kara Churchman and Sabrina Rodriguez all hit singles for the Lady Lions. The Lady Lions won their second game of the tournament with a 5-2 win over the Tyler Lee Lady Red Raiders. Livingston scored one run in the top of the first inning. Hailey McClendon hit a one out single to right field and later scored on an infield single by Darian Drake for the early 1-0 lead. The Lady Lions took advantage of two hits and three Red Raider errors to score four runs in the top of the third to take a 5-0 lead. Hallie Smith started the action with a leadoff single to left centerfield. Hailey McClendon would reach on an error. Smith and McClendon would both cross home plate courtesy of another Red Raider error for a 3-zip lead. Savannah Crawford and Darian Drake reached on an error and a fielder's choice, respectively. They later scored on a 2-run single by Kelsie Fuller for a 5-0 margin. Tyler Lee would score two runs on one hit, one walk and a Livingston error in the bottom of the fifth frame. Final, Lions 5, Red Raiders, 2. Hallie Smith worked all five innings and allowed just three hits, two walks and would finish with eight strikeouts for the Lady Lions.

Truck Accident attorneys | Big Rigs cases
Because tractor trailers have so much destructive potential (large mass equals large force), truck accidents often result in expensive medical care and lengthy recovery processes, including long term rehabilitation and life altering medical conditions. With such extensive damages, victims need substantial compensation to get the care they need while remaining financially afloat, but often the insurance company representing the defendant will make attempts to minimize the level of responsibility and payout.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, you should consult an experienced truck accident attorney who will help you navigate the complex and frustrating maze of insurance company logistics and legal procedures. At Wilshire Law Firm, our legal team is comprised of dedicated professionals who specialize in vehicle accident cases. Since 2007, we have obtained more than $150 million in settlements and verdicts on behalf of clients. We are confident in our ability to get you the results you deserve. To discuss your case in a FREE case evaluation, call us today at (800) 522-7274.
The Elements of a Truck Accident Case
Recognized Truck Accident Causes
With so many possible contributing factors, it is essential that you determine the underlying cause of your accident. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the most common causes of truck accidents include:
- Inadequate driver training and experience
- Driver fatigue
- Speeding
- Excess load
- Brake failure
- Adverse climate conditions such as snow and ice
- Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol (DUI)
- Failure to follow posted traffic signage
- Reckless or aggressive driving
- Defective parts and equipment
- Failure to conduct regular inspections/maintenance
- Impaired vision from night driving
Liable Parties in Truck Accidents
Depending on the circumstances surrounding your truck accident case, there may be one or more parties liable for your damages. Potentially responsible parties may include:
- Truck driver
- Trucking company
- Equipment manufacturer
- Other negligent motorists
- Government agencies responsible for the conditions of the roads
Large Truck and Bus Crash Facts 2014
According to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) website the number of large trucks (from 2013 to 2014)) involved in fatal crashes decreased by 5 percent, from 3,921 to 3,744, and the large truck involvement rate (large trucks involved in fatal crashes per 100 million miles traveled by large trucks) declined by 6 percent, from 1.43 to 1.34.
The highest states of recorded truck accidents in the last 10 years have been: (source: )
- Texas
- California
- Florida
- Pennsylvania
- Ohio
- Georgia
Winning Your Trucking Accident Case
What Type of Evidence Needs to Be Preserved in a Truck Accident?
To win your case, you will need to demonstrate that the liable parties failed to comply with safety regulations/duty of care and that their failure contributed to your injuries and other damages. A qualified attorney can help you collect, preserve, and examine evidence related to your crash. This evidence may include:
- Driver's qualifications and training files, background and character records, hours of service documentation, inspection records, records of compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations, and substance- and alcohol-testing records.
- On-board recording and GPS records, onboard systems data (engine control module, brake module, etc.), maintenance records, and inspected history documentation.
- Driver communication logs, dispatching records, bills of lading, weight tickets, trip envelopes, delivery documents, and other documents that are produced in the routine course of business.
Be forewarned, however, key evidence can fade or be lost or damaged over time, so it is highly advised that you consult an attorney sooner rather than later.
What Type of Compensation Can I Recover in a Truck Accident?
The value of your compensation will depend on a number of variables, such as your age, the type and extent of your injuries, and your prognosis, as well as the strength of your case. You may recover compensation for:
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Past, present, and future pain and suffering
- Physical impairment
- Disfigurement
- Other non-economic damages
Our attorneys work with accident reconstruction specialists, economic experts, and medical specialists to determine and prove the full extent of your damages. It is our primary objective to make sure that you get full and fair compensation for your damages, so you and your family can feel secure for the future.

Munich (Nov. 11)
Once a Jewish state is established, and large-scale immigration into Palestine starts, it will have to be on a selective basis in the beginning, Dr. Chaim Hoffman, Jewish Agency director in Germany, today told the second annual Agency conference here.
Dr. Hoffman called for an expanded program of training to prepare prospective imigrants for settlement. Joshua Levy, the Agency representative on the Combined ##ployment Board, which consists of representatives of the Agency, the JDC and the ##al Committee of Liberated Jews, reported that 2,500 Jewish DP's are now employed ## work projects and that thousands of others are clamoring for employment. Expansion of the projects, he explained, is being held up by lack of machinery and short## ials.

Rerun the tape! No, we're not talking about the War in Iraq; we know how that show goes.
We're talking about the financial show in the U.S. Each new twist is just a bit more absurd than the one that went before.
The plot, as we recall it, runs like this: The tech bubble blows up…the economy and the stock market tank; 9/11 comes along…the feds panic; the Bush Administration takes a modest, fraudulent surplus…and turns it into a massive budget deficit; taxes are cut…spending increases. In the span of 18 months, a total of about $1.5 trillion is added to the economy.
Desperately worried that it has a Japan-like deflationary slump coming up (a fear to which we happily contributed, albeit in a small way, in our first book, "Financial Reckoning Day") the Federal Reserve swings into action, too. It is the Ides of March every day at the Fed. Slash; cut…rates go down to a nominal 1% – or about 2% below the rate of consumer price inflation.
Then, three years later, while rates are being 'normalized', the Fed continues to worry…this time about a slump in residential housing. Even though rates are increased, the Fed boosts liquidity by allowing the money supply to expand at a 10% rate – about three times faster than GDP growth. And Adrian Van Eck estimates that another $1 trillion of new money will be added to M3 in 2007.
This tide of liquidity, by the way, doesn't stop at the U.S. border. Instead, it washes all over the world. Foreign countries need to keep their own currencies from rising against the dollar; they, too, find they have to turn on the taps just to stay even. In Europe, for example, M3 is now rising at 9.7% per year – about the same as the United States – its fastest rate in 17 years.
Where is all this new money going? Into consumer prices? Nope…not yet.
Banks, investment companies, and large speculators control the flow of this new loot. It never reaches the working man, except in the form of additional debt. So, it does not seem to lift prices of Huggies and cola. Instead, it floats up the prices of financial assets. Art…derivatives…swaps…you name it.
As things rise in price, the intermediaries are able to get even more leverage out of them. Trade 'em, refinance 'em, repackage 'em, sell 'em, restructure 'em, hedge 'em; the whole economy has become a dervish – with each whirling, swirling, twirling financial instrument throwing off fees, commissions, and spreads for the shrewd operators who manipulate 'em.
It's almost too much for us to keep up with.
The head of the European Central Bank elaborates.
"There is now such creativity of new and very sophisticated financial instruments…that we don't know fully where the risks are located," said Jean Claude Trichet. "We are trying to understand what is going on – but it is a big, big challenge."
Mr. Trichet was speaking to the illustrious group gathered in Davos, Switzerland. The Financial Times describes the debate in which he played a role:
"Many investment bankers and some regulators and economists argued at last week's World Economic Forum in Davos that the growth of the $450,000 billion…derivatives sector had helped reduce market volatility and made the system more resilient to shocks by spreading credit risk. But other officials fear these instruments may be raising leverage and risk-taking to dangerous levels and keeping the cost of borrowing artificially low, potentially increasing the chance of financial crises."

The United Nations General Assembly voted today to upgrade the Palestinian Authority to a "non-member observer state," a symbolic victory in the Palestinian quest for statehood.
The vote was overwhelming, with 138 in favor, nine against, and 41 abstentions. Most of the votes, including the United States' "no," were unsurprising. One important story here is in Europe: The European Union's 27 votes were never going to decide the outcome, but they are an important indicator of potentially changing global diplomacy with regards to Israeli-Palestinian relations.
"The EU has become the most undecided and therefore scrutinized bloc at the U.N.," Daniel Levy wrote at the Daily Beast. "For Europeans (or at least some of them), Israel-Palestine tends to be an issue that crosscuts domestic politics, the role of national history in contemporary foreign policy, transatlantic relations and mercantilist interests."
So how did Europe vote? It about split between voting for the Palestinian bid and abstaining, with only one "no," from the Czech Republic. The U.K. suggested that it might vote "yes" if the Palestinian Authority offered assurances that it wouldn't pursue charges in the International Criminal Court, but apparently came away unsatisfied.
This actually represents a potentially significant shift in Europe's position on Palestinian membership at the United Nations. Last year, the Palestinian Authority sought membership in a U.N. body called the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), seen as a test case for today's bid. Here's how Europe voted then, and below that are some important takeaways on the changes:
Here are the big changes between the 2011 vote and today's:
Five countries switched from "abstain" to "yes": Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Portugal, Georgia.
Three countries switched from "no" to "abstain": Germany, Netherlands, Lithuania.
One country switched from "no" to "yes": Sweden.
One country was absent: Ukraine, which had abstained in 2011. It happens.
Excluding Ukraine's absence, that means that nine European countries moved their votes in a way that suggests greater support for Palestinian U.N. statehood efforts. That might just be about these two particular U.N. votes and nothing more, or it might represent shifting European diplomatic energy away from the Israeli-Palestinian peace process (the U.S. and Israel have warned that approving the Palestinians' bid would undermine the process) and toward supporting more such unilateral Palestinian efforts.
It is difficult to see good news here for Israel or for the U.S.-led peace process.

City to open up more angle parking spots
Downtown pilot project to include more angle spots than previously planned
Wednesday, May 28, 2014 06:00 am
The city has increased the number of angle parking spaces that will soon be available in the downtown area.
Instead of 12 new stalls as originally planned, there will now be about 29 more stalls available on Perron Street, as part of a new angle parking pilot project.
The project will run for one year starting in early June. The goal is to provide a solution to parking shortages in the area at a low cost.
The added spaces were approved by the city upon further review of traffic in the area, said transportation manager Dean Schick.
�We maintained some parallel parking because the initial thought was that there may be some conflict from the laneway,� he said. �But with more detailed review there was not and so we went ahead with that further change.�
Construction of the project will take place between May 31 and June 2, pending weather conditions. Construction crews will change line markings and install new signs.
All the work will take place after 8 p.m. to minimize traffic disruption.
The added parking spots will be created at various locations along the east side of Perron Street.
Two parallel parking spaces will remain in front of 3 Perron Place.
�One of the reasons for that is it�s in that transition zone for northbound vehicles,� said Schick. �It allows for increased visibility and that extra little space for people to get into the inside lane.�
The aim of the pilot project is to increase parking, enhance safety, decrease collision rates and improve walkability in the downtown area.
The project will also reduce speed limits to 40 kilometres per hour on Perron, St. Thomas and St. Michael streets, and reduce Perron Street from two travel lanes to one.
While residents have addressed concerns that reducing the lanes and creating angle parking will increase the number of collisions in the area, city administration disagrees.
Parking and possible conflict is a concern on any road, said Schick. He added that St. Michael Street has a similar setup and there is no more concern about possible collisions on that street.
�It makes no difference whether it�s angled or parallel,� he said. �The onus needs to be on us as drivers for recognizing that the conflicts do occur. And this is also one of the reasons why we are looking at reducing the speed.�
After the project has concluded its year-long trial, success of the new parking scheme will be evaluated based on four criteria: the reduction of collision rates, an increase in pedestrians, a reduction of speed, and feedback from the downtown community and its users.

Letters: Grateful for ethics interest
- August 7, 2013
- By Staff, Baptist Standard
Grateful for ethics interest
Regarding the profile on Russell Moore, I rejoice that the Southern Baptist Convention now does have a spokesperson on the vitally important area of Christian ethics.
Having majored in that area in seminary and now taught sociology for over three decades at one of our Baptist universities, there are always enduring and emerging issues which require very thoughtful and consideration before statements are made. In these days of immediate and almost constant communication to the society at large, it is of utmost importance that reflection is given before words are released to the nation and world.
Even though I differ with Dr. Moore on some of his positions—not a surprise among ethicists—I am impressed he wants to engage in dialogue on significant and weighty matters which influence and often affect us all.
Having been a missionary to Mexico and working as an interpreter currently, I'm particularly grateful he has a special interest in the current opportunity for our country to intervene in the urgent discussion concerning immigration reform.

Inspiring Bible overview
Our Wednesday evening attendance has tripled since we began viewing the "Fast Track" DVDs by Chad Hovind. They provide an inspiring overview of the entire Bible. In eight sessions, he leads us from Genesis to Revelation. This is the quickest way I have seen to understand the continuity of the Bible.
It is neither a series of lectures nor sermons. You feel he is sitting down in the room with you using easy-to-draw icons and creative teaching methods. The photography is exceptional. Some of the subjects are "Learning to Trust God," "Never Give Up," "Facing Adversity" and "Stop Running From God."
The leader kit includes two DVDs, a workbook, and four audio CDs.

text: Rick StillionThe Daily JeffersonianGuernsey County sheriffs deputies utilized a Taser on three separate occasions Sunday to gain control of as many individuals who reportedly failed to comply with the instructions of deputies while being arrested.All three individuals were reportedly involved in altercations, two of which allegedly involved family members.The incidents occurred at a Barnesville Street apartment in Quaker City; a Second Street bar in Byesville; and a Highland Court residence outside Byesville.No injuries were reported to any of the subjects as a result of the Taser being used.One man required medical treatment after reportedly injuring himself by banging his head on a cage and window after being placed inside a sheriffs cruiser. Quaker City EMS was dispatched to care for the man.Two men Daniel Patterson, 34, Medina, and Derek Touville, 21, Buffalo remained incarcerated in the Guernsey County jail as a result of charges filed in connection with the incidents.Patterson was charged with obstructing official business and resisting arrest following his arrest in Quaker City, while Touville was charged by Byesville police with obstructing official business, aggravated menacing, disorderly conduct-fighting and disorderly conduct-intoxication following his arrest at the Neverland Bar.Touville is also reportedly facing felony charges, as Byesville police officers were scheduled to meet with Guernsey County Prosecuting Attorney Daniel Padden on Monday.No information was available as of press time Monday regarding the status of the man involved in a domestic dispute and possible hostage situation reported at a Highland Court residence.The incidents began at approximately 6:30 p.m. when a Cochran Drive resident in Quaker City reported a man was assaulting a woman during a domestic dispute at a village apartment.Deputies Sgt. Fred Umstott and Kris Stage responded and located a man and woman, both of whom had blood on their clothing, standing outside the residence.Upon speaking to the pair, deputies learned the man was involved in an altercation with his brother, Daniel Patterson, who was still inside the apartment along with several weapons.Deputies entered the home and found Patterson was inside a bathroom.He ignored requests to exit the bathroom for several minutes, yelling obscenities directed at the deputies.Upon exiting the bathroom, Patterson reportedly began to struggle with deputies and was forced to the floor. He reportedly continued to fight with deputies, at which time the Taser was used.Umstott deployed the Taser a second time before deputies could gain control of Patterson. He was handcuffed and removed from the home, as he reportedly continued to struggle with deputies.Once placed inside a cruiser, Patterson reportedly started hitting his head against a metal cage and door window, causing injury to himself. He was removed from the cruiser and medical treatment was administered prior to being transported to jail.At 9 p.m., a Byesville police officer requested a deputy assist with a fight at the Neverland Bar in the village involving Touville. United Ambulance and Byesville first responders were also dispatched to the South Second Street business.Umstott responded to the scene and at 9:22 p.m., reportedly used a Taser to help gain control of Touville, who was reportedly involved in an altercation with two unidentified subjects.The other individuals involved in the altercation reportedly fled the area.Byesville Police Officer Tim Heron reported Touville, who had visible head injuries as a result of the altercation, was uncooperative with police or emergency medical workers once they arrived at the scene.Touville was transported to Southeastern Med by United. He was treated and released, at which time he was incarcerated in the county jail.The third incident was reported at 11:31 p.m. via an emergency 911 call reporting a man was holding a woman hostage at a Highland Court home. The caller also advised the man was threatening to commit suicide.A short time after the call was received, a sheriffs deputy reported a knife had been taken away from the man and he was in custody after a Taser was deployed.No additional information was available, as the incident remained under investigation by sheriffs deputies.Patterson and Touville were scheduled to appear Monday for initial bond hearings in the Cambridge Municipal Court.(email@example.com)

A PORTLAND man accused of rape has been found not guilty after a two-day trial at Dorchester Crown Court.
Elliot Dale Hellier, aged 21, of Pennsylvania Road, was alleged to have committed an offence dating back to August 29, 2012, in a flat on Portland. He was accused of pushing the alleged victim on to a bed and pinning her down, forcing her to have sex with him. The court heard evidence from the alleged victim via video link, including a police interview from May, 2013.
Mr Hellier took to the stand yesterday and denied any sexual activity took place between himself and the alleged victim.
Summing up for the defence, Timothy Shorter asked the jury to consider why the alleged victim waited to inform police of the offence, arguing it was her word against his.
After almost two and a half hours, the jury returned a not guilty verdict.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
The state cannot seize pension funds that are controlled by a plan administrator. It can only reach the funds as they are withdrawn. If you have already rolled this money over into a private account, then it can be reached by the BOE. If you have any other money that you can transfer to a Nevada bank that has no California branches, then the BOE could not reach that money directly. It would have to get a judgment against you and register that judgment in Nevada in order to try to collect.
Concerning your other, non-government related debts, filing bankruptcy may wipe all of them out. Your husband's pension is exempt from your creditors in bankruptcy, so you won't have to worry about that.
For a bankruptcy lawyer referral, see: http://www.abanet.org/legalservices/lris/directory/.
Note: you will have to file in California, if you moved within 180 days of filing.

Bruce Springsteen came out of New Jersey in the early 1970s sounding like a cross between Bob Dylan and early Tom Waits, backed by the rambunctious E Street Band. After toughening up his sound, Springsteen created his 1975 masterpiece, BORN TO RUN, which garnered critical acclaim for its blend of Spectorian grandeur and street poetry. Nine years later, BORN IN THE U.S.A. made him a worldwide superstar with its beefed-up stadium-rock sound. Along the way, he's produced such low-key acoustic-based milestones as NEBRASKA and THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD, never losing the blue-collar ethos that is central to his vision. His 2002 album, THE RISING, is considered one of the finest artistic responses to the 9/11tragedy produced in the event's immediate aftermath.

Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve.
Hot on the heels of The River, his commercial breakthrough, Springsteen''s decision to release the stark, demo-quality Nebraska seems downright perverse. But the genius of the album is unmistakable--with just an acoustic guitar and his howling harmonica to back him, Springsteen tells the stories of characters walking on both sides of the law, some of them directly on the line in between. The effect is that of a powerful series of black-and-white photographs--the details are bleak in and of themselves, but they ignite the imagination in ways that are more satisfying than full-color shots would be. "Mansion on the Hill," "Highway Patrolman," "Atlantic City," and the frightening "Nebraska" are among the most sharply rendered and memorable works of Springsteen''s career. --Daniel Durchholz

Ever since his birth in the Evening Standard cartoons of David Low, Colonel Blimp has been the gaseous, walrus-mustached symbol of British muddling. Blimp paid reluctant attention to earth-shaking events as he waddled to the insular comfort of his club to find good sherry and claret, a deep leather chair and reassuring words in the London Times. When he spoke it was in gouty grunts, and his favorite words were "Gad, Sir." Usually this expressed his disapproval of anything which might change the way things had always been done and, by Gad, Sir, always would be done. Britons without blinders found...

IN 1998, Nat Lofthouse was chuffed to bits when he had a train named after him.
The Lion of Vienna locomotive was so named following a competition in the Bolton Evening News.
Reader Pamela Parr came up with the name and still remembers meeting Nat.
Mrs Parr, aged 64, from Anderton, said: "The whole day was brilliant.
"We went to the train station and then afterwards, they had put on a double decker bus to go back to the Town Hall.
"We sat upstairs and I'll always remember that Nat came and sat with us instead of staying with all the dignitaries downstairs.
"It meant a lot to us."
At the time, Nat said he was proud to have an engine named after him.
The Lion of Vienna nameplate was put under the hammer at a special auction in London in 2009 after some of Virgin's trains were renamed or withdrawn from service.
Les May from Gateshead emailed to say he remembered Wanderers playing Gateshead in the sixth round of the FA Cup in February 1953.
Mr May said: "Gateshead matched Bolton for over an hour before Bobby Langdon raced down the left wing and sent over a pin point centre for the unmarked Lofthouse to head past Bobby Gray and earn Bolton a place in the semi final."
There were just under 18,000 at Redheugh Park, a record for the Third Division North team, who were that year's giant killers, having beaten Liverpool in the third round.
Wanderers, of course, went on to the final only to lose 4-3 to Blackpool. The Whites went 3-1 up in the game before a Stanley Matthews inspired Blackpool went on to lift the trophy.
Nat also grabbed a goal, meaning he had scored in every round of the cup that season.
He was named footballer of the year in 1953, but his proudest moment would come five years later, when he returned to Wembley to win the FA Cup with the club he supported as a boy.
Marie Walsh, owner of Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe in Churchgate, remembers Nat's mum visiting the shop when her son was an England international.
Mrs Walsh said: "Nat's mother used to come into the shop and talk to my mother-in-law.
"She was very proud of Nat and would always say when he had been picked for England.
"He would get £20 and a cap, which is amazing when you think what the players get today."
Nat's finest moment in an England shirt came when he scored twice in a 3-2 victor over Austria in 1952.

Riot police stand in front of a portrait of Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej in Bangkok. Photograph: Rungroj Yongrit/EPA
You could call it 'repression lite'. You can't censor the whole internet - unless you commit China-sized resources to this - so why not target YouTube?
Thailand has become the latest nation to respond to a perceived slight to its national honour with a blanket ban on the video sharing website, after YouTube refused to remove a clip ridiculing the country's revered king.
The 44 second clip is amateurish, distinctly juvenile and seems expressly intended to inflame the feelings of Thai people.
It shows a picture of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, which is then defaced with some crudely drawn animated additions and - most seriously - placed directly underneath a photo of a woman's feet, something gravely disrespectful to Thais.
Insulting the king is a serious offence in Thailand - a fact a Swiss man found out to his cost last week when he was jailed for 10 years.
After YouTube said it would not take down the clip, Thailand's military appointed government, installed after Thaksin Shinawatra's administration was ousted in a coup in September, responded by blocking local access to the entire site.
It comes less than a month after a Turkish court suspended access to YouTube in response to the posting of a clip which reportedly labelled the country's modern founding father, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, a homosexual.
In limiting access to even part of the web, the countries are joining a small and distinctly unsavoury club.
The media freedom group, Reporters Without Borders, lists 13 "enemies of the Internet", and none of them are exactly famed as exponents of liberty and free expression.
They range from China, with its infamous, all-encompassing "Great Firewall", to North Korea, where access is limited to a few top ranking officials and the country's official .nk domain name has yet to be even used.
Turkey and Thailand would no doubt argue that they are acting against grave slurs against the whole nation. But to outsiders, the offending clips look like teenage name calling and provocation - and let's face it, if you want to remove that from the web you're in for a struggle.

Best Uses
As a photographer I am interested in fine art gothic sensual provocative photography. This book generally caught that, however some shots were nothing less than cheap pornography photos.Fat hicks brushing their teeth whilst watching a woman playing with her self in the company of others, is not, let me repeat, is not erotic photograph ....just smut. The human form is a beautiful thing which has been captured in many mediums. This is my opinion, I do respect that others view this photography differently, fair enough..... the front cover was great. The model exhumed innocence, that alabaster skin, but behind the suggestive lips the brown eyes, and perfect hair was a woman who also commanded attention not only sexually but intellectually. I loved it.The lighting on her face, neck and chest contributed to the overall innocence and desire. - Overall not my cup of tea. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone - its not a coffee table photo book - kids might see it. lol

Olympics 2012: The 11 Most Shocking Moments From the London Games… So Far (PHOTOS)
From U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps' lackluster performances in the pool to Colombia soccer player Lady Andrade's socking sucker punches in the field, the 2012 Olympics on track to be one of history's most memorable Summer Games.
Launch the gallery for the 11 most shocking moments from London… so far.
On Saturday, China's Ye Shiwen shocked the world when she smashed a world record with her gold medal swim in the 400-meter individual medley, the toughest race in swimming.
Not only did the 16-year-old nab the gold medal with flying colors, but she also swam faster than Ryan Lochte, one of the best U.S. male swimmer, according to the clock.
Shiwen finished her final 50 meters in 28.93 seconds, beating out Lochte's record of 29.10 seconds.
However, Seeing how Lochte, 27, has been doing swimmingly (pun intended) in all events, there's no doubt Shiwen's record-breaking stint will be challenged again.
