Hi all,
Just to update you quickly on my mum and to try and get some desperately needed advice.
Mum is currently in the geriatric ward of her local hospital (after being brought in last Fri). They have assured me that she will not be released home and a decision about her discharge date won't be made until she has been assessed. (She was taken to hospital after being found on the floor of her flat last Friday. The police had to break the door down as she wasn't answering. She had not let the carer in the day before and we think that she had not eaten for 2 days, hence why whe collapsed...that along with confusion heightened by a UTI).
My feeling is that mum needs to go into 24 hour care since things weren't working with the private carer who visited each day (mainly because mum didn't always let her in and just wouldn't accept the level of care and help that she needed). Mum is aggressive at times, non compliant with leg dressings for her ulcer (though fine about it now she is in hospital), she has leg oedema (but can walk with a stick), double incontinence (and is not always aware of when to change her pads) and she has been suffering with feinting and subsequent falls and is still fairly weak.
She is being treated in hospital for a UTI and having her ulcers bandaged each day but my question is whether I should be looking for a nursing home or a residential home once she comes out? No disrespect, but I don't want to put her amongst people who are at a much more advanced stage or dementia as this will crush her mentally I think, but then again, if she is going to get worse, is it better to have her be in a place where there is that facility?
What is the difference in a residential and a nursing home in terms of a person's care needs? My mum needs lots of help with getting washed, dressed, and although she can feed herself, she does not seem able to go and make the food herself. My mum has brightened up a lot in hospital and was even able to say which floor she was on which amazed me, so I am just not sure what I should be looking for.
My mum's social worker seems to think that she needs residential care but I am not sure that they will give her the level of care that she needs as I am not sure that it means. I have to wait for the outcome of the assessment at the hospital but I just wanted to be clear of the difference and as we are self funding, the decision ultimately rests with me.
It is an extremely nerve-wracking time for me as I have a very important decision to make which will affect the rest of my mum's life so i don't want to get it wrong!
Hope you can help!

I know a lot of people started doing the Runners World Streak…but I gotta tell you that is nothing compared to one of my favorite ladies. Shelly of It's Just One Foot In Front of the Other who is now at 688 days with numerous ultra runs in there! She brings up some interesting points about a streak and no doubt reminds me that I can do a little each day.
What made you decided to start the streak?
Mother's Day 2010 (May 9th) was a mother's day like many of the 21 Mother's Days I had. I don't mean that my family and my children didn't try to somehow make it a special day for me but I was simply left with the feeling that it really wasn't a day for me. It was another day of being a mom, doing the chores, taking care of the kids and my husband. It was a typical day with a some kind of really sweet gesture from my kids or my husband. All of which I did/do appreciate but as that particular day ended I felt like I needed to remember I was not only a mother…or a wife…or an employee or any of the other roles that I fill in other people's lives. I am a person unto myself. I needed to remember that. So the next morning I went for a run. It wasn't a special run you can read about it here or my pm run here. But I thought to myself that I deserve a bit of each day. I had already realized that I am a far better (fill in the pronoun) for everyone else after I have given a little time to me each day.
Along the way there have been those who view my philosophy as selfish and self serving, to those who feel like way well I am at least happy that I made them think. Even if they only believe more strongly in their own view point at least what I believe to be a healthy way of life was introduced to them. There is room for many different ways. A running streak my not be the way for my life forever but as long as it is I am going to try to share the benefits of a consistent daily exercise habit with everyone I can.
What tips would you have for someone who says they are just so busy they can't find time to workout?
When someone starts to tell me how they don't have any time for fitness/exercise, I usually ask them if they brush their teeth every day. To which most people will say yes. I remind them that they do that twice a day, every day most likely without fail. It's a habit. It's a requirement so they MAKE time to do it even though it probably isn't one of the highlights of their day.
Tips for getting it done:
– Schedule your workout. Write it down. Let others know you will be doing it and when.
– Use others as motivation. Plan to workout together.
– Do something you enjoy.
– Vary your workout if you lose motivation and to increase overall fitness.
– Set goals. Short and long term. Set Dream it goals and go for them!
– Get your workout done in the morning; no matter what arises in your day you have already "paid" yourself!
– Realize that it is never too late to do your workout. And working out will NOT keep you from sleeping.
– Over eating is NOT a reason to chalk the day up as "lost" and skip the workout. (I would add Overeating is not a reason to do a running streak )
– Remind yourself that you can stop. But always start. Often once you start your workout you are happy you did. Something is always better than nothing. Even if you don't have time for your whole workout, a quick mile or short lift or yoga session will benefit you more than worry about what you didn't get done.
Do you have an ultimate goal for your streak?
My ultimate goal for streaking would simply be to keep doing it. Simply keep running every day. I thought when I started this that it was a big deal. It's really not. Many people have and are running every day. There are streaks that have covered decades of lives. I'll just keep running and I will be doing it every day because it fills a place inside me the is essential not optional.
What do you think has kept you injury free?
Mostly, I credit years and years of double days for my injury free running. I know that splitting my mileage and staying flexible has kept me from suffering from common runner's injuries. I have relied heavily on compression, icing and after workout stretching. All my habits aside, genetics and simple luck play a part I am sure. But the biggest reason I have run injury free is my ability to listen and hear my body.
Thanks to Shelly for telling us more about her amazing running streak! What is your longest streak? Do you think it's selfish to ask your family for that time every day?? I tend to agree with Shelly's view, but I'm not a parent yet either. Does reading about amazing runners like this inspire you to lace up?

Morley Safer, who was saluted Sunday night with a "60 Minutes" special for his remarkable career, died Thursday at his home in Manhattan, CBS News said. He was 84.
He was the longest-serving correspondent on the news magazine, logging 46 years. He spent 52 years in all at CBS.
"Safer was in declining health when he announced his retirement last week," CBS News said Thursday. "CBS News broadcast a long-planned special hour to honor the occasion on Sunday, May 15, that he watched in his home."
Steve Kroft concluded the special, "Morley Safer: A Reporter's Life," by noting Safer's contributions to "60 Minutes," which is...

"When you are arrested, don't worry about how to respond or what to say. God will give you the right words at the right time."
Matthew 10:19
As Jesus sent the twelve disciples out into the world to do the ministry of the kingdom of God, he warned them that they would not always be well received. Even as he had been condemned and attacked by many, so would they. In fact, the time would come when they would be arrested for bearing witness to Jesus. Yet the disciples shouldn't fear, because when the time came for them to make their defense of their ministry, God himself would give them the words to say.
Today, millions of Christians face a threat similar to that of the first disciples. In China, North Korea, Sudan, Pakistan, and many other countries, followers of Jesus are routinely arrested for their Christian activities and face charges that often carry capital penalties. How they must cling to the promise of Jesus in Matthew 10:19.
Most of us won't be arrested for our faith. But we might stand in other "courts"— when we speak up for Christ in a university classroom or when we try to explain to our boss why we won't lie to cover up her mistakes or when we stand up for social justice and righteousness in the public square. The promise of Jesus, that God will give us the right words to say, encourages us to be bold and clear, yet humble. We do not speak as if we were God. But we speak in the confidence that God is with us, guiding and helping us to proclaim the truth without fear.
QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: Have you ever experienced what Jesus promised in this verse? When? If you truly believed that God would give you the right words to say when you needed them, what difference would this make in the way you live?
PRAYER: Gracious Lord, thank you for the promise of this verse. The fact that God will give me the words when I need them encourages me to speak the truth, even when I'm afraid. Help me, Lord, to trust you more as I speak, to rely upon your power as I seek to live for you in the world.
Today, I'm reminded to pray for those believers throughout the world for whom the possibility of arrest and trial is very real. Give them supernatural peace and power. Give them the words to say when they stand in literal courts. Moreover, I pray that your people will be treated with justice, Lord. May your will and your ways prevail. "Thy kingdom come, on earth, as it is in heaven!" Amen.

Carnival Freedom - Eastern Mediterranean: Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by Charlene and Donald Hamilton
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Freedom - Eastern Mediterranean
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
EMBARKATION: We flew Delta from Atlanta to Rome. Good flight and our luggage arrived with us!! At the Rome airport, there tended to be confusion on the part of the Carnival representatives, trying to get masses of people onto the different tour buses. We originally booked a 4 hour tour before going to the ship, but opted out, due to this confusion, as well as being very tired from the trip. We chose instead to take one of the Carnival busses directly to the ship. We arrived at the ship in about 1 hour. When we arrived at the pier, we went through the boarding procedures very More quickly. Yes, they do collect your passports, but this really works out well for the cruise ( due to stops in Turkey ).
SHIP: The ship is a nice looking ship in its own way. It tends to lean back to some of the original Carnival ships, being over the top in dEcor. Now, trying to get around on this ship requires some doing, especially getting to the aft dining room ( Posh ). Having to walk the entire 5th deck, only to walk down two more decks to get into the dining room, is a bit absurd. The Dining room itself is very handsome and elegant. There are only three small pools on this ship ( obviously never designed to sail in warm weather ports, and several hot tubs. PLEASE, at least have one pool and hot tub area for adults only. The hot tubs were always filled with teenagers, who just "hung out" there! The stateroom was a typical Carnival room with two double beds that were put together as a king. This has not been too much of a problem in the past, but this bed would not stay together and I spent many a night sleeping in a crevasse! The sheets and pillows were okay, but I could not recommend purchasing these ( the latest way to make money on board!). Plenty of storage space ( we take extra hangers which really helps ). Bathroom okay with some amenities. Our cabin steward was attentive while not being obtrusive, during the cruise.
DINING: As mentioned before, the dining room was nice ( only a daily pain to get to ). Our server, Asep, and his back waiter were attentive and were a delight each and every night. The bar steward was also always there to fill all needs. See service slipping away as lobster and shrimp, which used to be removed from the shell by the servers, no longer happens. I never understand why the Maitre D' has to walk around each evening, saying HI to about 10 tables a night, only to make sure that he receives an extra tip at the end of the week? We had asked for a late seating ( and had booked over one year out ), but got early seating instead. I would not recommend this ( and that is why I wanted late seatings ) as the tours get back to the ship late and you have about 15 minutes or so to get to the dining room! This leaves no time to shower, change clothes and just relax for a few minutes. The food each evening in the Dining Room was very good. The exception would be desserts, which were terrible every night Skipped a lot as they were just not good! This is the one course where we could really see that service standards have been cut ( don't even spoon your cream into the souffles anymore ). The Buffet, as well as the grill and pizza stations, are some of the worst on the oceans. All burgers precooked until dry and cold, condiments pathetic, terrible pizza and mediocre food items grace the buffet. In 12 days, the breakfast buffet never changed ONCE!! The lunch was okay, with dinner being so poor, I can only guess that this was what was being served to the crew.
BRIGHT SPOTS: The deli in the buffet makes pretty good sandwiches, and the Fish and Chips area ( hidden upstairs ) was good. We are not big buffet people, but this one is really bad and needs rethinking. The buffet brings my overall food scores down to a low level. The food and service in the Sun King restaurant was very good. As we sat at the bar on several nights, we were catered to by a friendly bartender, Elisabeta and the very competent Maitre D and wine sommelier. The one night we ate here, the food was good. I have to tell you that Carnival has lowered the grade of steaks in this room, compared to our last cruise with them. That would be my only complaint.
ENTERTAINMENT: Again, both really good and extremely bad! The production shows were exceptionally good, with great sets, costuming and lights. The Beatles show was especially good, getting the best audience participation I have seen on a show. The other nights are the usual fare of poor comedians, singers and magicians who can't find work elsewhere. The lounge acts were pathetic at best, which was really sad! We like to go to the aft lounge on all cruises, as each ship usually has a showband each night to go dance to. This ship had a band two or three nights only with KARAOKE being the number one event instead! The three or four lounges that had entertainment were not good and were generally empty! I can agree with most critiques that the cruise director, John, was very good. He has been doing this for years and it shows.
INTERNET: The WEB, as it is called, seems to be an afterthought on this ship. It is basically a closet that about one dozen computers have been put into. Carnival has done so well with their other brand ships, just don't know what they were thinking here. To make matters worse, in order to get to this room, you must walk directly through the Havana Bar which is filled with smokers having cigarettes and cigars! For non smokers, this is just foul!
SHORE EXCURSIONS: Now this is what the trip was really about. Even though they were incredibly expensive, they were worth it. I will try to go into a little detail on all that we took: First day out we did the Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri tour. This is actually too much to do in one day, but if you are limited, as we were, it is good. Capri is wonderful and would love to go back. Stop in one of the little pasticerrias and buy some of the best cookies you will ever eat! Didn't really see much of Sorrento, except for a quick ride through town and a mediocre lunch. Pompeii is staggering, but strayed from the group as our group was sooooooo slow, we would not have seen very much. As it is, we spent too little time there. This is worth at least a four hour stay to see this amazing piece of the past. Next day was a sea day and definitely needed it. Really tired after the first two days. Rhodes tour: Went on the best of Rhodes tour, which was very nice. Got to see more of the island than just the downtown corridor. The stop at the touristy pottery shack was unnecessary, nut other than that, it was nice. IZMIR, TURKEY: We went on the Ephesus and Village tour. Ephesus is amazing and well worth the day. Stay away from the tour that includes the village as there is nothing there to see except shops. This is basically a 15 minute shopping stop and then lunch, which was okay. ISTANBUL, TURKEY: Did the grand tour of the city with lunch at the Four Seasons. The mosques were amazing, the city wonderful, great museums and shopping. The Grand bazaar was not something my family enjoyed, but it was pretty amazing to me. The "time share" stop at the local carpet makers store is not fun, especially when you get pushed into a small room and get pressured to buy 3 to four thousand dollar rugs!! The cruise lines should be ashamed for this. IF you take any tours and they want you to go in to see carpets, I would suggest bowing out and going directly to the bazaar. Lunch at the Four Seasons was disappointing as I hoped we would have some Turkish cuisine. IT was just typical hotel food with salad, steak and chocolate cake (not worth it). Our guide, Janset, was extremely intelligent and made for a wonderful guide and host to this city. SEA DAY: Thank goodness, as again with high temperatures and humidity, we were really beat. Good day for the pool and just reading! Was beautiful traveling thru the Dardanelles ( like the Isthmus of Panama ) and seeing the beautiful villages and historical sites such as Gallipoli. ATHENS, GREECE: Went on the Acropolis and coastal tour. Again enjoyed seeing the coast line as well as the archeological acropolis at Sounion. After another hotel lunch with some Greek cuisine, we took a tour of the city sites and then went to the Acropolis. This was great and again, our very passionate Greek guide, Poupie, was terrific. We learned so very much about the Greek people, their beliefs and history. KATAKOLON, GREECE: Olympia and Museum tour. Was disappointed with the cruise line again here as our tour was scheduled for 8 and left at 10 instead, leaving us no time to visit the small village of Katakalon. Olympia, guided by Peggy, another young and vibrant Greek women, was terrific in her explanations of this ancient Olympic site. The museum was excellent too! SEA DAY: YES....time for some more rest! A beautiful day also to see the volcanic island of Stromboli, which was incredible! LIVORNO: Took bus to Florence, which was a definite highlight of the cruise. A beautiful city with so much to see and do! Seeing the David up close was an amazing sight as well as all of the art and sculptures of the city. The churches are staggering also, almost too unbelievable to discuss. Skip the tour with lunch, the lasagna isn't that good. Too many good restaurants to eat at to suffer through the over used pasta dish! ROME: Best of Rome and the Catacombs tour...not a great guide ( actually the only male guide we had ). The city is incredible and if you only have this one day ( shame on you ), this tour is not bad. Guess what's for lunch again,,,,,you guessed it...LASAGNA. Now, being a chef, I know that there are many other great types of pasta that can be made for groups. I guess there's just something stamped on our forehead that says " We are Americans,,,feed us Lasagna!! ( Garfield would be happy! ) Overall, I feel that the tours were a means to an end. I think I would do it differently next time and arrange for a private car. The people who did this seemed to have a better time. All in all, we were blessed with pretty good groups ( not many stragglers ) and great guides ( at least the females).
DISEMBARKATION: Boy, when they want you off the ship early, they mean it. Everybody must have been off by 8:30 as they start calling numbers at 6:00 a.m. sharp. This is not a criticism as everything was orderly and done well. Just want to let you know that if you think you are going to be off the ship later because you are not going to the airport, forget it. Be up early and ready to go!!
OVERALL: We found the ship to be second rate ( surprising for a new ship ). I could not recommend this ship, other than the itinerary. Will go back to Europe again to cruise, but not with Carnival. For the money, there are better ships and lines out there. Less

Originally written in 1875, this is one of the most distinguished classic works of world literature. Several films, dramas, and ballets have been based on Tolstoi's (as spelled in Spanish) intense, passionate love story. Ana, one of the most notable literary characters ever created, is married to a Russian minister but falls in love with Count Vronski, a rich and handsome young army officer. Against society's norms, she abandons her husband and son, with dire results. In this excellent recording, the story is fully dramatized by a group of actors: Milagros del Valle is Ana, and FonoLibro's Arquimedes Rivero is Vronski. Their voices are appropriate and devoid of regional accents. With background music and narration that shows the full emotional style of a radionovela (radio soap operas), this audio is an easy way to get to know this perennial classic. Recommended for bookstores and public libraries.—Dolores M. Koch, New York City

Daphne's the complete package: tits, ass and eyes, the best of everything
Rack 'Em Up
Featuring: Daphne Rosen
Date: March 21st, 2008
Photos: 80
She's an expert at sinking balls so our studio stylists dreamed up a pool table shoot with Daphne Rosen. This could be Daphne's best solo pictorial yet as she hangs her massive tits over the rail trying to beat the photographer at Eight Ball. Her painted-on shorts did not go unnoticed by at least one Boob Brother. "I'm a boob man and always will be but the set of Daphne in those tight and short green short shorts could make a man change his preferences," emails Dave in the UK. "I know you have been running some competitions to win signed bras but is there any chance Daphne's shorts could be up for grabs? Providing of course she managed to peel then off her fabulous arse. That crease in her bum is just so deep it's hard-on provoking. Thank heavens she has a world-class set of tits too or I would be sorely tempted to alter my favourite part of a woman's body." Sorry, Dave, those shorts are currently unavailable but we'll let Daphne know you may be switching sides. In fact, Daphne's bountiful butt will be examined in a future BootyLicious layout. Just back that thing up, Daphne, and we'll do the rest. .

This article was published 23/5/2014 (1156 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Clear skies in the forecast and mild overnight lows are excellent news for local skywatchers, who are anticipating a great night for meteor watching.
Tonight, May 23, the Earth will head through a trail of fresh dust and debris from the comet 209P/LINEAR. Those particles will streak through the atmosphere tonight, burning up as meteors.
Since the planet has never ploughed through this trail before, astronomers aren't sure exactly what to expect, but some are predicting anywhere from 100 to 1,000 meteors may be visible per hour at the peak of the shower.
The comet that shed this debris is a relatively dim one that was discovered in 2004. The trail that Earth will be passing through was left after comet passes in the 1800s.
NASA scientists expect the meteor shower to be active throughout the night, tonight, but the peak should be between 1–3 a.m. on Saturday morning.
"We have no idea what the comet was doing in the 1800s," said Bill Cooke, lead for NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "The parent comet doesn't appear to be very active now, so there could be a great show, or there could be little activity."
It's to be known as the Camelopardalids shower, named after a constellation from which the meteors will appear to radiate. Camelopardalis — also known as 'the giraffe' — is a faint constellation near the North Star.

Hong Kong (AFP) Jan 29, 2007
Hong Kong's telecom regulator said Monday bad weather had again delayed full repairs to undersea cables damaged last year by an earthquake, which badly disrupted Internet access in parts of Asia. The Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) said most of the seven submarine cables, damaged by a powerful 7.1-magnitude temblor off Taiwan on December 26, have now been fixed but that one will take longer than estimated.
Repair work will be completed at the end of February, instead of mid-February as had been anticipated earlier.
"The repair work of one section of a cable will now complete by the end of next month," said OFTA Director General Au Man-ho. "Bad weather, technical problems and other reasons are causing the delay."
However, he said Internet providers had diverted Web traffic and that the delay was not having a significant impact on Internet services in Hong Kong.
"According to our reports from the providers, all services have largely been resumed back to normal -- it's approaching 100 percent," he said.
Au said a new warning system will be set up next month to alert the public if a similar Internet breakdown occurs again.
The Boxing Day earthquake snapped several international telecom cables, sparking widespread communication disruption in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and elsewhere.
Problems also occurred as far away as Australia.
The earthquake left two people dead and at least 42 injured in Taiwan.

Europe And Asia Must Up Response To Natural Disasters
Geneva (AFP) Jan 29, 2007
Asia continues to bear the brunt of the world's natural disasters and the region's economic boom has not yet led to effective response systems, a report said on Monday. Meanwhile, Europe's record on response and prevention is "dismal" given its high level of development, the annual report on natural disasters by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) at the University of Louvain in Belgium.

Of Minds & Souls
When someone is declared brain dead all that which makes them "them" is gone. Their laugh, their voice, their bad habit of leaving their dirty socks in the couch. Getting Alzheimer's, having Huntington's, sustaining a severe brain injury, all these affect lives in difficult ways, both of the patient and of his friends and family. The brain contains our history, our personality, our humanity. My dream job is to do research into neurological diseases, disorders and injuries to find answers, cures and treatment.I have worked with people with disabilities for several years and two of my younger brothers have autism. My grandma also has Alzheimer's. I have also worked with children of people with mental illness and drug addiction. The brain is a source of both greatness and great misery. I would like to help the millions with mental illness and addiction, neurological diseases and those with brain injuries. I would also like to help with research for psychological trauma in children and adults. I love research and I love the brain, combining the two creates my perfect career. I have specific goals of attaining my degree in anatomy and physiology from the University of Oregon, then transferring to John Hopkins University for my graduate program and residency. I would like to do Doctors Without Borders to learn more about cultural diversity in illness.

Suns walk-off with wild 6-5 win
By Eli Pearlstein / Hagerstown Suns | August 8, 2014 11:19 PM ET
HAGERSTOWN, MD - The Hagerstown Suns (30-18, 74-44) scored a run each in the bottom of the eighth and ninth innings on Friday night to secure a walk-off 6-5 win over the Kannapolis Intimidators (24-24, 53-62). The win improves Hagerstown's record this season to 11-1 when tied after eight innings.
The Suns sent just two hitters to the plate in the ninth. Left fielder Narciso Mesa began the frame by hitting a ground ball single up the middle. Catcher Spencer Kieboom then roped a double down the right field line to drive in Mesa and secure the win. The double was Kieboom's second hit of the night and his 25th double this season.
Hagerstown knotted the game at 5-5 in the bottom of the eighth. Third baseman Drew Ward began the inning by drawing a walk. Designated hitter Carlos Lopez followed with a double to center field, putting runners at second and third with none out. Following a pitching change, 1B Jimmy Yezzo hit an infield single to short, which drove in Ward for the tying run. The hit was Yezzo's third of the game, and he is now on an eight-game hitting streak.
The reason the Suns had to come from behind to win is because Kannapolis put together a five-run frame in the seventh. With RHP Jake Johansen having entered the game for Hagerstown to begin the inning, the Intimidators were able to put their first five hitters of the frame aboard thanks to four singles and a walk. Only a sacrifice bunt was able to stop the string of batters reaching base, and after the bunt another single drove in two runs. That chased Johansen from the game, but his line was not closed as the final run of the inning scored on a throwing error following a line out to short. Johansen finished the night having thrown just 0.1 innings, and allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and one walk.
Hagerstown had a big inning of its own in the first. Center fielder Rafael Bautista walked to begin the frame, and with two outs he scored from second on a single to left by Kieboom. Ward drove Kieboom home from first with a double to left. Ward then stole third, and scored on a wild pitch to make it 3-0 Suns. The lead increased to 4-0 after two innings thanks to an RBI single by Mesa.
LHP Justin Thomas (3-4) wound up picking up the win for Hagerstown. He threw 2.2 scoreless innings in relief after taking over for Johansen, giving up two hits and striking out two. RHP David Putman (0-3) suffered the blown save and loss for Kannapolis. He threw one inning, allowing one earned run on four hits while striking out two. RHP Nick Pivetta got the start for Hagerstown and tossed six scoreless frames, surrendering five hits and two walks while striking out two.
These two teams continue their four-game series at Municipal Stadium on Saturday August 9. The Intimidators will send RHP Thad Lowry (4-5) to the mound for his 15th start and appearance of the year. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05pm.

Rialto Energy Ltd. and Vantage Drilling Company have settled an agreement regarding payment terms in regards to the early termination of the rig contract regarding Vantage's Sapphire Driller (375' ILC) jackup.
Rialto has agreed to pay Vantage an amount equivalent to 75 days of the operating rate, about $12.38 million. The original contract had specified a rate of $17.33 million for 105 days.
The company had contracted the rig until December 2013 to explore Block CI-202.
In April 2013, Rialto and Vitol E&P entered into a contract to jointly develop Rialto's interests in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. Vitol acquired, subject to regulatory and joint venture partner approval, a 20 percent stake in Rialto Energy (Ghana) Limited in exchange for funds to cover Rialto's $7.7 million obligation to drill the high-impact Starfish-1 exploration well in the Accra Block, Ghana – which is due to spud in June 2013.
Additionally, Vitol will acquire 65 percent of the shares in Rialto Energy (Cote d'Ivoire) Limited in exchange for providing $50 million of capital to be invested in a to-be-agreed Block CI-202 work program. The deal also called for the release of the Sapphire drilling rig, according to an April 23 press release.
"Whilst we are disappointed to have had to make the difficult decision to terminate the rig contract, it was made to ensure that Rialto and Vitol had sufficient time to finalize matters around our recently announced deal and to work together on a robust technical program in Block CI-202," Rialto's Managing Director Rob Shepherd said in a press release. "We are continuing to work with Vitol on finalizing the transaction and are doing everything possible to bring this to a swift conclusion."

Puerto Rican restaurant guide
Note: The contents of this guide were checked for accuracy when this article was updated on April 24, 2010 at 12:02 p.m. We continually update the thousands of articles on OnMilwaukee.com, but it's possible some details, specials and offers may have changed. As always, we recommend you call first if you have specific questions for the businesses mentioned in the guide.
For decades, Pueblo Supermarket, 2029 N. Holton St., provided Milwaukee with Puerto Rican food staples. At the end of 2009, the grocers added a restaurant, called Nina's Bar and Restaurant, that's attached to the south of the bodega.
Nina's is spacious and simple, with a dozen or so tables and booths, a small bar and numerous murals of Puerto Rico on the walls. (Interestingly, every person depicted in the paintings is wearing machete.)
On a recent visit, we found the service prompt and friendly. Warm chips and moderately spicy salsa arrived at our table almost immediately, and our drink orders taken soon after. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience did not unfurl as flawlessly.
My dinner companion and I ordered margaritas, which were part of a Friday special and only $3, however they tasted extremely lemony -- which was good -- but low in alcohol content.
Prices are extremely affordable, ranging from $5.99 to $12.99, and the portions are very large. The menu is divided into sections: breakfast, appetizers, sandwiches, Mexican, Puerto Rican and kids'.
Notable breakfast items include huevos rancheros ($5.99) and chilaquiles ($4.99.)
The Mexican food section includes all the usual fare from tacos to burritos to chimichangas that range in price from $7.99 to $10.99.
We ordered from the Puerto Rican menu. All of the entrees are served with plantains and salad, although we reminded our server to bring the plantains. However, the plantains were worth the wait: thinly sliced, perfectly fried and smothered in a light caramelized glaze.
I tried to order the pollo gisado con arroz blanco, but they were out of it, so I settled on chuletas (pork chops) for $9.99. My pork chops were moist and tasty, but fatty. The sliced sauteed peppers on top of the chops were very well done, but the heaping mound of rice featuring chunks of pork and pigeon peas was sticky and dry.
My dinner companion ordered the verdura con bacalao for $8.99, which was cod fish with green bananas, sweet potatoes and casava. This dish had a super fishy smell and taste, and it even included a few fish scales in the food. It came with a salad that consisted of shredded lettuce and a few tomato chunks.
Burgers are available, too. In case it's not already obvious, Nina's is not vegetarian friendly.
Overall, we were not impressed with our meals at Nina's, but will consider going back to try the Mexican food or the breakfast items.
Other Puerto Rican restaurants in MIlwaukee:
Cafe El Sol
1028 S. 9th St., (414) 384-3100
Half of the menu is Mexican; half Puerto Rican. Thursday is a Puerto Rican pork special: roast pork with rice and pigeon peas.
El Farol
1401 W. Washington Ave., (414) 647-1899
Try the combination plate ($9.95) to get acquainted with Puerto Rican food. It consists of roast pork, fried pork (chicharrones), fried plantains, fried chicken (some of the best in the city), arroz con gandules and beans.
Quimera Cocina Boricua
631 W. National Ave., (414) 645-8202
Quimera features food of the Latin Caribbean and a comfortable bar area.

Telcos, utilities, infrastructure and other heavy borrowers stand to suffer if the US Federal Reserve winds back its economic stimulus measures early.
These sectors are most vulnerable, strategists warn, after minutes from the central bank's January meeting showed many Fed officials are worried about the risks and cost of an open-ended asset purchasing program totalling $US85 billion a month.
A growing belief that the Fed could halt or slow quantitative easing (QE) triggered widespread selling on the S&P 500, which closed 1.24 per cent lower on Wednesday for its biggest single loss since November. US 10-year Treasury yields shed 0.94 per cent before retrieving some losses on Thursday.
Australian shares followed the lead from the US, falling 2.33 per cent to 4980.1 for their largest single- day loss in 10 months.
BlackRock chief investment strategist Russ Koesterich said the Fed's signals were making investors nervous.
"The S&P had one of its worst days in months on the fear that perhaps the Fed has grown a bit nervous; maybe they'll at least take their foot off the accelerator sooner than expected," he told The Australian Financial Review.
"I do think it makes markets nervous because investors become very comfortable and accustomed to easy monetary policy."
Colonial First State Global Asset Management's London-based head of global equities, Habib Subjally, said that, because the Fed wouldn't suspend QE unless it was confident sentiment was sufficiently robust, the benefit of a stronger world economy would help counter the impact of a withdrawal.
But Mr Subjally said the end of stimulus also posed significant negatives for the market.
The buying of long-dated bonds by the central bank has kept capital costs low.
This meant a higher cost of capital after its withdrawal might hinder or discourage corporate investment plans, Mr Habib said.
"Any company with a lot of debt will suffer," he added.
"Telcos, property, infrastructure and utility providers have long-dated projects [requiring long-term capital].
"The winners will be corporates sitting on a lot of cash like banks, insurers or other savings institutions."
Colonial head of investment markets research Stephen Halmarick said he had expected stimulus to end with Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's term in January 2014 and, as such, an early finish would only mean a slight lead on that timetable.
"There's an increasing risk QE [quantitative easing] will trail off from the third quarter to $US75 billion or $US65 billion," he said.
"But that decision will depend on how the economy and market behaves, given the [pending] debt ceiling and spending cuts."
The US has delayed negotiation around the onset of a $US600 billion package of spending cuts and tax rises due to take effect from January, until next month.
This so-called "fiscal cliff" would have sent the US back into recession and, while taxes were raised for the wealthy in a partial bid to offset its impact, politicians still need to deal with impending spending cuts.
America is also facing a breach of its debt ceiling if it does not negotiate a solution by May.
Despite these challenges, Mr Halmarick noted that bond markets had "barely moved" in reaction to suggestions of an early stimulus wind-down. "To have significant weakness in equities, bond yields would have to move markedly higher," he said.
From a bond market perspective, AMP head of macro markets Simon Warner said a model used by the manager indicated the withdrawal of stimulus would be likely to cause 10-year Treasury yields to rise by 50 to 75 basis points.
This discounts the impact of cyclical factors such as economic health on bond markets.
Mr Warner echoed the sentiment that the end of stimulus would be a positive signal on the economic outlook.
"Its removal should not have a disproportionate impact on the economy and market," he said.
"It might cause a flattening of the equity bull run but not one meaningful enough to turn the cycle. And will it cause a popping of the bond [price] bubble? Probably not."
Mr Koesterich characterised the US recovery as "very uneven, two steps forward one step back".
"The economic data in the US is better but it is mixed and it's hard to argue that we've seen a significant change in the economic environment.
"What we've seen is this slow, gradual, grudging recovery."
The central bank had linked the duration of its third round of stimulus to a "substantial improvement" in the job market when it announced the program last September.
It indicated it would keep interest rates near zero until unemployment fell to 6.5 per cent so long as inflation did not threaten to break above 2.5 per cent.
Yet the Fed minutes showed that several board members stated an evaluation "of the efficacy, costs and risks of asset purchases might well lead the committee to taper or end its purchases before it judged that a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labour market had occurred".
Unemployment in the US was at 7.9 per cent in January.
Mr Halmarick suggested that, while stimulus might be wound back early, interest rates were still likely to stay near zero until around 2015.
By contrast, the governor of the Bank of England had called for more quantitative easing at its February meeting.
Investors are also speculating that the next Bank of Japan chief will also boost monetary easing.

Locavore's Local Produce
Vermont is a Locavore's paradise! And we're celebrating the bounty it provides with a new recipe series focusing on in-season produce and recipes from local farms, CSAs and specialty food producers.
First up is Pete's Greens, in Craftsbury, Vermont. The Pete's Greens Farmstand is popular for visitors and locals alike with its crazy vegetable and flower covered roof landscape. But the real draw is the organic vegetables, local pastured meats, selections of local cheeses, an array of flours and grains, and a myriad of other local products. Pete's also runs Good Eats, a weekly food delivery program based on the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model where members receive a weekly share of produce, locavore goods, or meats after making a financial commitment for each seasonal period.
Good Eats' latest share included Napa Cabbage, also known as Chinese cabbage. The flavor of Napa cabbage is somewhat milder and a bit sweeter than that of regular green cabbage. It is delicious raw or cooked, and can be substituted for regular cabbage in most recipes. A head of Napa Cabbage in the fridge lends itself to a wide variety of meal options, from salads and slaws, to sandwich greens, stir fries, soup additions, and more. Nearly all of the head can be used, just not the tough center core. If your Napa sits a while in the fridge and some leaves are limp, you can refresh it with a good soak in cold water. Napa cabbage should be stored unwashed in your crisper drawer, loosely wrapped in a plastic bag. The recipes below are perfect for picnics and barbecues.
Cabbage Picnic Salad
The recipe below is great, but there's lots of room for improvisation -- toss in snap peas or a substitution of garlic scapes, carrots, salad turnips, thinly sliced beets, whatever -- it's all good.
1/3 cup slivered almonds
4 cups (.5 lb) coarsely shredded Napa cabbage
6 ounces snow peas, strings removed, rinsed and thinly sliced
2/3 cups thinly sliced salad turnips
2/3 cups thinly sliced scallions including greens (or baby leeks)
2/3 cups lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
1.5 Tbsp rice vinegar (seasoned or unseasoned)
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 clove peeled and minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1. Spread almond slivers out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, until nicely browned. OR toast in stick-free or cast-iron skillet on medium high, stirring frequently until browned. Careful not to burn. Set aside.
2. Combine cabbage, snow peas, radishes, scallions, cilantro in a large bowl. Can make this step a day or two ahead.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and cayenne until sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the mayonnaise.
4. When ready to serve, gently combine the dressing and almonds with the cabbage mixture.
Napa Cabbage Salad with Buttermilk Dressing
Feel free to spruce this salad up with more veggies such as grated carrots or cucumber.
1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/2 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1 pound Napa cabbage, cored and thinly sliced crosswise (4 cups)
6 radishes, diced
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced diagonally
Whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, vinegar, shallot, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until sugar has dissolved, then whisk in chives.
Toss cabbage, radishes, and celery with dressing.

I used to enjoy breaking things. Why? That's what the policemen wanted to know: why had I thrown the television out of the window? It wasn't done with any particular malice, I said. Partly it was because people were always asking me if I'd ever done it and partly because the thing didn't work and I didn't want to carry it down the stairs.
Remarkably, in hindsight, they told me to clear the mess off Shaftesbury Avenue and we'd leave it at that. The defenestrated television was disappointing. It didn't go bang or anything. I drove a Jag into a tree once. Now, that made quite a nice bang, but I can't take any credit for it. It was an accident and I wouldn't do it again. I spent the insurance money on an Aga and settled down a bit after that.
I've been thinking about china this month and how it is often smashed at village fetes. Maybe it's the rock star in all of us. Personally I've always preferred the coconut shy: just as satisfying, plus you get a coconut if you hit the target.
I've been thinking about china because - with no apparent malice or actual smashing of plates - my generation seems to have destroyed this nation's entire china manufacturing industry. A once proud, world-beating enterprise has collapsed by dint of us just not being up for it. My father-in-law used to work for Wedgwood and bought us a dinner service for our wedding present. I have grown to love the stuff and now I don't really want to eat my dinner off anything else.
Bone china originates from Stoke-on-Trent where the marl clay has particularly suitable qualities. Each of the factories - Wedgwood, Dalton, Spode, Worcester and so on - had their own clays that gave their wares slightly different characteristics, but bone was the key to all of it: ground animal bone mixed with the clay. Bone china is not dyed. It comes out of the kiln pure translucent white. You can almost see through it. Porcelain, which originated in the Far East, has no bone, so it's vegetarian; it's not as translucent or as delicate and comes out bluey grey.
Below porcelain on the scale come the harder wearing stoneware, earthenware, hotelware and terracotta, which are more rough and ready.
The materials differ but the various grades all go through the same basic processes. Clay-mixing first, then forming by machine or hand, followed by 'biscuit'-firing, which turns what looks like a clay model into usable pottery. But there is no glaze at this stage. If you look on the bottom of a china mug, the biscuit-firing is evident sometimes, still rough. Decorating after the biscuit-glazing before the next firing makes things dishwasher safe, but not as pretty as china that has been decorated on the glaze itself. By my calculations our wedding china had four firings, but for highly decorated, detailed pieces as many as 20 firings was not unheard of, particularly when the artists who painted the designs were stars.
Vera Wang designed my wedding china. Her name is bigger than Wedgwood's on the bottom of the plates. I've often wondered who she is. Although it's never been less popular, there's never been a better time to buy fine tableware. Get yourself to Stoke, where the factory shops are selling stock at knock-down prices to raise cash. I swear those plates make food taste better.

Newcastle will face Benfica in Lisbon on Thursday night in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final tie, although we cannot let the Europa league rob us of any points in the Premier League.
Sissoko and Cisse challenge Vincent Kompany yesterday
Since the home defeat by Reading, the low point of our season, Newcastle have played eight league games, and we won three of the first four – but have since lost three of the last four – so we need to start getting more wins on the board.
Yesterday was our worst performance since the Reading game, and we also had seven top players – Krul, Debuchy, Haidara, Santon, Tiote, Coloccini and Ben Arfa – all missing, and only two or three of those will return in the next week.
It seems Tim Krul is fit again – and Davide Santon and Massadio Haidara could be fit to play on Thursday night.
But yesterday's defeat at Manchester City has left us too close to comfort to the relegation zone, although we were helped today when Aston Villa lost 2-1 at home to Liverpool after being 1-0 up at the half.
We are 3 points ahead of Wigan and Aston Villa, and with a better goal difference – but some of the bottom teams are starting to pick up points, so we must help ourselves by winning games.
The next two home games against Fulham and Sunderland are simply massive – and two wins in those games should see us with some welcome breathing space.
Alan Pardew has talked about the Europa League and Premier League today to Sky Sports:
"We have done well in the Europa League, but it can't detract from the Premier League." "We have to make sure we are safe." "We need two victories at least, and maybe a third or a fourth to get ourselves into a strong position."
"The Europa League is going to put us under pressure, because we are missing some big players at the moment." "But we didn't do ourselves any favors against City because we were not aggressive enough."
We expect to see Newcastle try to ensure we have a full house next Sunday against Fulham, because that is now such an important game for us – because th London side are only three points above us in the league – although they have two games in hand.
Fulham play QPR tomorrow, and maybe a draw would be the best result for Newcastle.
QPR are not going to reach safety by drawing games – they need wins, and a draw would keep Fulham within Newcastle's reach, and we could gain three points on them next Sunday afternoon with a win.
And the real truth is we have to play a lot better than we did yesterday at the Etihad Stadium in that first half, where we were simply no match for City.
We have to start helping ourselves in the Premier League, and not have to depend on other sides losing – and also not let the Europa League be any distraction, and that seems to be the way the Newcastle manager is looking at things.
And maybe that's after some prodding from Derek LLambias, reminding the manager of the £4B TV deal that starts next season for the Premier League, and that PL clubs could see up to a 70% increase in revenue from the league compared to what they get this season.
A relegation this season would be a complete and utter disaster for Newcastle United.
That's our view – maybe a little negative on the Europa League side of things – what do you think?

Pong Dam (Himachal Pradesh), Feb 10 (IANS) A recent survey at man-made Pong wetland in the Himalayan foothills threw up a pleasant surprise. Experts found 34,000 bar-headed goose spending the winter here -- making up what ornithologists say were almost a third of the species.
At the dawn-to-dusk census, around 123,000 waterfowl of 113 species were recorded at Pong Dam wildlife sanctuary spread over 307 square km in the picturesque Kangra Valley -- most of which had flown in from Tibet, Central Asia, Russia and Siberia.
Assistant Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) D.S. Dadwal told IANS that the largest influx was of bar-headed goose, a regular visitor from Central Asia, including Tibet and Ladakh.
The number of the world's highest-altitude migrant bird species at the wetlands was around 34,000, he said.
The other main species found were northern pintail (21,000), common pochard (12,000) and little cormorant (7,700), besides common coot, red-crested pochard, great cormorant, pintail duck, river tern and great-crested grebe.
The 307-square km wetlands, some 250 km from Himachal Pradesh capital Shimla, is one of the important winter grounds for local and migratory bird species.
Ornithologists say every year, millions of migratory birds of several species, mainly ducks and geese, descend on various water bodies across India to avoid the extreme chill of their native habitats.
Bombay Natural History Society assistant director S. Balachandran told IANS that Pong has been attracting a good population of the gregarious bar-headed goose.
"Most of the water bodies and lakes across the country have been getting bar-headed geese every winter. Their number is between 3,000 and 4,000 in each water body. But Pong is only place which is getting the largest influx of bar-headed geese," he said.
Balachandran, who has been tracking migratory routes of the goose and some duck species through satellite in Pong, said the total global population of the goose was believed to be around 100,000. "This simply indicates Pong is home to 34 percent of the total population of bar-headed goose," he said.
Records of the state wildlife department say the largest influx of bar-beaded goose in Pong was recorded in 2010. That time, their number crossed 40,000.
Barring 2001, when only 5,500 birds were recorded, their numbers have ranged between 28,000 and 23,000 in the past few years.
Balachandran and his team chased three bar-headed geese through satellite from their native habitat to their winter sojourn in Pong in 2010 and 2011.
Interestingly, in 2011, all the three geese returned to Pong. One came from Kailash Cora lake in Tibet, the other two -- one from Pangong Tso lake in Tibet and another from Tso Moriri lake in Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Bombay Natural History Society is planning to install more solar-powered transmitters next week to study the migratory patterns of the greylag goose and mallard too.
Each chip costing around Rs.250,000 is installed under the wings of birds. It sends signals and helps identify migratory routes, stopover points and non-breeding areas of the birds.
In the past three years, the society has attached transmitters to 16 birds belonging to northern pintail, Eurasian wigeon, shoveller, ruddy shelduck, common teal and the bar-headed goose species.
The Pong wetlands occupy an area of at least 18,000 hectares and extend up to 30,000 hectares in peak monsoon season.

New VPX Resources from Elma Help Identify Proper Backplane Profiles
Interactive guides available for 3U and 6U backplanes
FREMONT, Calif., December 2013 –Elma Bustronic has created two interactive charts that take the guess work out of identifying the OpenVPX backplane profile for new VPX designs. Available in versions showcasing either Elma's 3U or 6U backplanes, the new VPX resources provide a snapshot of the profiles in an easy-to-read document.
Each backplane profile identified in the VITA 65 specification is listed by profile name on the chart, with key features listed, and supported by a pop-up view of its specific topology as well as some representative slot profiles associated with the backplane.
"Elma is very familiar with the profiles identified in the OpenVPX standard since we participate in the standards committee and have actually contributed several of the profiles, said Boris Micha, Sales Manager for Elma Bustronic, "so we came up with a handy chart that provides a useful visual reference when designing a backplane for a VPX system."
Elma simplifies OpenVPX system development even further by working with the customer to identify the right backplane for your system, placing it in a chassis, and even recommend boards with its helpful Target Application Development Guides (TAGs). The OpenVPX Backplane Profile Charts can be used in tandem with the TAGs to create a complete development or deployable platform.
For more information, please contact email@example.com or call (510) 656-3400.
