Despite a growing trend of protectionism, the announcement by the White House to Congress that the US administration would seek a services plurilateral agreement is a welcome instance of trade liberalisation.
A services-only agreement was first proposed by the Australian services sector and has been championed by the Minister for Trade,
There is a compelling economic case for focusing on services in the Doha Round. Services account for 68 per cent of world gross domestic product (GDP), whereas agriculture accounts for less than 10 per cent. In developed countries, the share is 75 per cent on average and 50 per cent for developing countries.
Estimates show that the barriers to services trade are often twice levels applied to goods and that while goods protection has fallen, trade barriers for services have at best "stood still".
The combination of services' large and growing share of world GDP and the fact that it is subjected to the highest levels of protection, means that services liberalisation is the sweet spot for driving trade and economic growth.
There is also strong reason for the services sector to go it alone. It was the negotiations around agriculture and manufacturing that led to the collapse of the Doha Round and the level of services commitments on the table in Doha, even if the round were completed, is so low that it would have almost no impact on world trade.
The best services offers at the time the negotiations were suspended would reduce protection by just 13 per cent, but are actually more restrictive than current policies for these countries. If Doha was completed with what is on the table, countries would be signing up to a commitment which is on average 99 per cent more restrictive than their current policies.
A further problem with the current offers for services in Doha is that several of the most protected sectors are not part of the negotiation. For example, no transport sectors are covered and professional services, due to liberalisation relying on movement on natural persons and local licensing and qualification regulations, face insurmountable barriers.
A partial equilibrium analysis of a 50 per cent reduction in tariff equivalent protection for services in just the ISA country group shows that annual exports between these members would increase by $78 billion.
A services-only agreement is also important for development. Whereas developing countries were able to take advantage of lower barriers to goods trade to drive their development in the twentieth century, growth in services is becoming much more important for development with the consequence that liberalisation of trade in services will also become more important.
China provides a good example. China's current five-year plan has a target of increasing services share of GDP from 41 per cent to 50 per cent by 2015. To facilitate this, China's Ministry of Commerce (Mofcom) plans to increase services trade by 20 per cent by 2020. China already accounts for 4.6 per cent of world exports of services and 4.5 per cent of world imports of services.
It is important that some progress be made. Without progress in the multilateral arena, politicians will lose faith in the process altogether and drive further proliferation of bilateral and regional free-trade agreements with the consequent ills of trade diversion and "spaghetti bowl" rules of origin that inevitably result from these agreements. Business is rapidly losing patience with the multilateral process.
Negotiating plurilateral agreements might be a way of drawing the round to conclusion as they did in the completion of the Tokyo Round.
The campaign for an international services agreement is likely to escalate in 2013. Countries backing the scheme are balancing the need to negotiate a preferential agreement while leaving the way open to build a critical mass for a full services agreement under the WTO.
They should continue this path. The best possible outcome is that they achieve critical mass and complete a services-only agreement. If this can be achieved, developing and developed countries will be richer regardless of the wider outcome and the WTO will get a new lease on life. If it cannot, the prospects for further multilateral liberalisation are dire.

The Simon and Garfunkel star gives a soothing support for grieving families and friends who lost their loved ones during the 2001 tragic attack.
Paul Simon was one of the singers who visited Ground Zero on Sunday, September 11 to pay homage to the people who were killed and injured during the terrorist attack ten years ago. Wearing a suit and 9/11 Memorial cap, the music vet strummed his guitar and sang a moving rendition of "The Sound of Silence".
As Paul performed the song, footage of people in the World Trade Center site crying, embracing and singing along him is flashed on the screen. In 2001 a little more than a week after the tragic terror, the 69-year-old singer honored the victims with "Bridge Over Troubled Water" in "America: A Tribute to Heroes".
The other musicians taking part at the memorial over the weekend included cellist Yo-Yo Ma and singer James Taylor. The former performed a piece by Bach, while the latter delivered "You Can Close Your Eyes". Additionally, flutist Emi Ferguson performed "Amazing Grace".

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Weber State at Wyoming - Wyoming 71-66 - Box Score
The University of Wyoming CowgirlBasketball Team (4-2) pulled out a 71-66 victory over the Weber StateWildcats (1-5) on Wednesday night in Laramie.
The Cowgirls started off slowly falling behind 22-12 in the first half.But behind great defense and shot selection, Wyoming would go on a 23-2run to take a 35-24 lead into the locker room.
"I think we did some nice things in the first half. The defense issomething we hadn't worked a whole lot on, but I was really pleased withthe way the kids came out and ran the half court trap. I think wecreated a lot of turnovers, which helped a lot to really get CrystalHowe off the block and doing what she does best."
In the second half, the Cowgirls continued to build on that lead, andat one point would hold a 20 point advantage with 10:46 left in thehalf. Weber State would give the Cowgirls a scare as they closed the gapto four, but it wouldn't be enough with Wyoming holding onto the 71-66victory.
An unfortunate incident happened to the Cowgirls in the secondhalf, as sophomore guard Carly Stucky went down with a knee injuryafter a hard hit by Jamie Peterson. She would not return, and will bere-evaluated today.
"The situation with Carly really doesn't look good. I haven't actuallyasked specifically because I don't want to know but by the faces of thedoctors and the trainers it doesn't look good."
"It's like I told them in the locker room. We either rise to theoccasion or we fall and fold. I know this team has been through so muchadversity, and with their strong character and will I think they'll dothe best they possibly can. Obviously it's going to hurt us tremendouslywith the injury to Carly. We said from the very beginning we're onemajor injury away. If that's the case it's going to be a struggle but Iknow they'll fight and fight, and we'll win some ball games."
Stephanie Stanger led the way for the Wildcats finishing the night with23 points and six rebounds. She was followed by Crystal Howe with 18points and 11 rebounds.
Once again, four of five starters scored in double figures, includingsophomore Ann McColl. She led the team with a career high 20 points inaddition to 11 rebounds. She was 7-10 from the field and 6-11 from thecharity stripe. Senior Shelby Hoffman also added 15 points to the cause.The Cowgirls shot 48% (25-52) from the field and an almost equalling 43%(6-14) from beyond the arc.
"I think Ann really stepped it up. She knew that it was crunch time,and knew we needed somebody on the floor that was going to make up forCarly. Carly was really on a good steak there with 12 at half time. Ithink she just knew how important she was and she came to play thesecond half and did a great job for us."
"You don't lose your best player in the middle of a game like that andexpect the team to stay focused on every aspect. You wish could but withthis team and everything we've been through there's no way you can dothat. I was just proud that we could hold on and win the game because wecould have easily folded."
The Cowgirls now move to 4-2 overall on the season. They will travel toFlagstaff, Ariz., for a Saturday match up with Northern Arizona.

NASA: Alarming Water Loss in Middle East.
Source: nyt/ap
DOHA, Qatar (AP) A NASA study found that an amount of freshwater almost the size of the Dead Sea has been lost in parts of the Middle East due to poor management, increased demands for groundwater and the effects of a 2007 drought.

land in the West Bank and Gaza isn't for the land; it's for the water. Israel needs water for residents and for business very badly and the only way is to take land and remove Palestinians.

11. part of it
That's part of it. I personally think Israel just wants to remove the Palestinians completely, but if they can get their resources in the mean time, well. There were articles and photos some years ago about Palestinian towns being restricted to water use 2-3 days a week, while Israeli settlements nearby had swimming pools.
At the same time, B'Tselem I think it was, crunched numbers and found that with the taxes and fees on Palestinians vs. the cost of occupation, Israel was actually making a profit in the Occupation.

14. You'll have noticed
that the River Jordan drains into the Dead Sea.
At The Dead Sea, Getting That Sinking Feeling.
There's an old joke about an Israeli boy who, after hearing his friends boast about their dads' feats and exploits, declares "You know the Dead Sea? Well, my father killed it."
In reality, the Dead Sea is being killed, slowly, by people, and it's no joke. One of the natural wonders of the world, this 41 mile-long body in Israel's Jordan Rift Valley is known for its high salinity and extremely dense water. But now, it seems to be quickly drying up, year by year, because of a one-two punch from nature and man.
But geologist Eli Raz, a resident of Kibbutz Ein Gedi who has devoted decades to studying the Dead Sea, says the clock is ticking. The water level is dropping by as much as two billion gallons a year, and the shoreline is receding by nearly four feet a year, he says.
Raz, of Ben-Gurion University's Dead Sea and Arava Science Center, warns that it isn't just the sea water that's disappearing. The groundwater in the surrounding dry beds is drying up as well, and that's causing sinkholes to form all around the periphery.

15. And the best solution add electrical generation to the area
The Red Sea to Dead Sea Canal, while longer then a Canal from the Mediterranean seas, does NOT have to get around Judean Hills, since the Dead Sea is in the same Rift Valley as the Red Sea Itself.
Before someone mention that many commentators have said the best solution is returning the flow of water from the Jordan River, lets remember almost all of that water is NOW used by someone and no one is going to give it up, thus salt water from the Oceans is the best POSSIBLE solution.

23. This would bring in Salt Water, it would NOT have that much effect on the Desert
Water from the Red Sea would increase the level of the Dead Sea and reverse its decline in size. A side affect would be more water sipping into the surrounding ground water, after water goes through about 100 feet of earth, it tends to be drinkable and usable for agriculture. The problem is the amount of fresh water produced this was is limited (and some of the nearer wells to the Dead Sea may become to salty for use by Humans, Animals or plants). You should also see an increase level of rain do to increase loss of water into the air, but given that this is close to the Tropic of Cancer, in much of the year it would stay local, falling back into the Dead Sea.
Tropic of Cancer:
Around the Coast, Orographic rainfall can be quite heavy, but the Dead Sea is to far from the Mediterranean Sea for this to have much effect on it:
In the temperated climates, we have "Weather Fronts" that move air and thus any water in the air West to East. This is quite limited as you near the tropics. Technically the Dead Sea is NORTH of the Tropic of Cancer, but not by much and thus most water falls into the area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Galilee Sea, Jordan River, Dead Sea line.

18. Water is one reason, but I do NOT think the Main Reason
Many years ago, as a Christmas Present, I received a book written by two retired Israeli Generals, called "Battles of the Bible". It was an interesting read, they analysis the battles in the bible with a military eye (for example, the taking of Jericho, marching around the city for seven days at first put the defenders on edge, but as this march continued day after day the defenders then started to accept it as a nothing, thus slowing their response, thus on the seventh day when the Israelis instead of returning to camp stormed the walls, the Defenders were unprepared and thus the walls "came tumbling down" for their failed to stop the onslaught).
Anyway, one of the recurring themes in the book was that the base for the power of Ancient Israel was the West Bank, it provided a Strategic fall back position that the Ancient Israeli could fall back on if necessary.
On the other hand the Coastal areas, where most of present Israel is located, was along the main road between Iraq and Egypt. They mention when Napoleon had taken Egypt and was marching his army north through modern day Israel, one of his Generals mention Jerusalem. Napoleon said NO, it was to much of a risk given its location among the Judean Hills AND away from the main road along the Coast AND it was NOT needed if the Army was just passing through Palestine.
The Concept that Israel needed to West Bank as a Strategic fall back position, kept coming back in that book. They mention the Crusaders and that they success in HOLDING Palestine for as long as they did was due to the fact they took and held Jerusalem and thus any attack on the Crusader kingdom had to come from Syria or Egypt (and march the distance between those areas and Palestine, a march of many days that had to occur along the only highway, thus easy to stop). On the other hand, if someone else holds Jerusalem and the West Bank, it is less then a days march to anywhere on the Coastal Highway. Napoleon had paid off the Arabs holding Jerusalem when he was in Palestine, thus NOT a concern for him, but it was a concern for the British during WWII (for the Turks held Jerusalem).
Once you understand what makes Jerusalem AND the West bank so important from a MILITARY point of view (as to holding modern Israel as opposed to just marching through it), then why the Israelis were willing to give up on Gaza, while still building settlements in the West Banks is clear, the Israeli high command sees the West Bank as a Strategic position that they want to be Jewish. For the rest of Israel is less then a days march from the West Bank. At the same time The West bank being in the Judean Hills, a Strategic fall back position many enemies would prefer to avoid, as did Napoleon.
Now before you mention that Jordan is the other side of the Jordan River, I like to point out that what is today is Jordan is more desert then farm-able acreage. It is beyond the reach of rain generated from the Mediterranean sea and thus has always had a much lower population then areas closer to the sea, with those areas increase rainfall. On the other hand the West Bank is within the area where rains fall often enough to permit farming, and thus you have a way to feed and thus support a larger population. Thus who holds Jordan is unimportant, it is to dry to support any sizable rural population. On the other hand the West Bank can and does support a sizable rural population, a population Israel wants to be Jewish.

16. No, most water used for that purpose is salt water from the Sea
And most of it is "recovered" as the oil is pumped out. Excessive water mixed with oil is a sign of an aging well, adding water to a well pushes the oil to the top of the oil formation (oil floats on top of water) and is the main secondary recovery method for oil.
A second problem with your response is the main oil fields are on the other side of the Arabia Peninsula, along the Persian Gulf not the Red Sea, thus using water to go into the oil wells would have little affect on water levels in Israel or Jordan and to a lesser degree Syria.
Side note: Syria has part of the Western oil Fields of Iraq. The Iraqi oil fields in Western Iraq are controlled by the Kurds, while smaller then the oil fields to the South East along the Kuwaiti Border, still quite large extending into Eastern Syria. NASA is showing this area part of the loss of Water and in these areas local fresh water is used in secondary oil recovery, but it is also the hills where the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers flow out of, so they have more water to spare then further south.

19. increased demand will drain the freshwater faster than nature can refill from their coastline.
There are millions living a poverty city life on a very small land mass. Once they get the technology down right to remove the salt from the sea, there should be enough water for everyone.
Still won't solve the problem of the pals, millions crammed on such a small land mass with no education,no land to farm and no technology of their own to de-salt sea water or use hydroponics vertical farming to grow their own food.

24. Water is the next oil; wars will be fought over it
Welcome to the 21st century, and the beginnings of the Resource Wars that have long been predicted.
I'd recommend anyone interested in problems like this read "Peak Everything": http://www.amazon.com/Peak-Everything-Waking-Century-Declines/dp/0865716455
In his latest, "Peak Oil" expert Heinberg (Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies) puts that theory in place alongside corresponding peaks in population, food production, climate stability and fresh water availability to paint a grim future of overlapping and accelerating global crises. For an introduction to Peak Oil, the idea that coming fossil fuel shortages will be sudden and drastic, readers should seek Heinberg's earlier works; this volume assumes familiarity and addresses the challenges a post-carbon world poses for a global community "as reliant on hydrocarbons as it is on water, sunlight, and soil." The worst-case scenario, "global economic meltdown" and a new round of resource wars, can only be avoided "by proactively reducing our reliance on oil, gas, and coal ahead of depletion and scarcity." This involves a vast, worldwide change to fossil fuel-free production that prizes handcrafted buildings and objects, durable and simple design, ease of reparability and material conservation. Although Heinberg attempts to inject some optimism, the intersection of peak oil and climate change-not to mention overpopulation, water scarcity, a clueless ruling class and a citizenry largely unaware of the problem's magnitude-is not a hopeful vantage point, and readers may not want to tackle this downer without other works on deck to provide plans for action.

Acerca del creador
G'day... My name is Dave Whiteman and I'm a photographer living at the foot of the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Australia. Although I've been taking photographs since I was about six years old, it's only in the last five or six years that I've become serious and turned my hobby into a part-time business selling prints on the open market through retail outlets. And I've been quite successful at Photography Shows and Exhibitions, having won awards in every competition I have entered, including the Penrith Show, Macquarie Towns Art Exhibition, Oberon/Country Energy Annual Photography Competition and Penrith RSL Photography Club Annual Awards amongst others. I'm a member of the Penrith RSL Photography Club as well as venturing out on photo shoots with a small but keen group of very talented photographers. I enjoy helping budding photographers but I also learn something from others on every shoot. I hope you enjoy my Photo Books.

text: Who Impressed This Weekend Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State Fresno State's offense may not be a great fit for the gunslinger, but Carr's doing the most with what he's got. Every time the Bulldogs needed to go vertical against Boise State, they were able to, at will, under the arm of the senior, who now has totaled 164 passing attempts in only three 2013 games. After leading the Bulldogs to a dramatic win over Boise State for the first time since 2005, his university launched a Heisman campaign to assist him in the race, and he was named CBS's national player of the week. Morgan Breslin, OLB, USC After converting from defensive end to outside linebacker, Morgan Breslin ran into another difficulty heading into his senior season: Injury. Missing the opener against Hawaii, Breslin's taking the rest of the season in stride, currently ranked in the top ten nationally in sacks and tackles for losses, despite being out a game. His presence on the field kept Chuckie Keeton and Utah State, a trendy upset pick, from beating USC, whose defense is ranked top four in red-zone defense, rushing defense, and total defense. Jaelen Strong ,WR, Arizona State (SO) Coming out of high school, Jaelen Strong had offers from some lower-level colleges. Instead, he chose to go the JuCo route before being swarmed with offers after one year of play. Turning down Miami, Nebraska, and many SEC schools, the 6'4" 205 pound pass-catcher signed on with the Sun Devils. Off to a great start his first two games at ASU, he flashed even more potential against Stanford, catching 12 balls for 168 yards and a score, putting his season line at 24 catches, 330 receiving yards, and two touchdowns.

Here is Debbie Schechter's nightly recap of Blind Brook's win over Croton-Harmon from Monday's Class C quarterfinal. Full recaps from the other matches we received are after the write-up.
Not many teams are given a second chance at an opponent, but in Monday's Section 1 Class C volleyball quarterfinals, second-seeded Blind Brook got that chance.
The Trojans defeated 7th-seeded Croton-Harmon at home 25-6, 25-7, 25-9.
Both of these teams met in the quarterfinal round last year, with Croton-Harmon defeating Blind Brook 3-2 on it's home court.
"It was great to get back on our court," Trojans coach Justin Goldstein said. "I told them that the last time we lost on our court was last year, to them. It was great to get the win and start off the playoffs the right way this year."
Blind Brook will host No. 3 Albertus Magnus Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the semifinals.
And according to Goldstein, the Trojans did the little things right to get the win.
"It's something we always talk about," Goldstein said. "We need to serve well, pass well, and when we do those things well, everything falls into place."
The Trojans as a team had 23 aces in the game. Lindsey Kim led the way with nine of those aces to go along with 14 kills and 14 digs. Meg Stomski had six aces and Michaela Anthony added three.
"Lindsey's just a dominant server," Goldstein said. "The other two are very smart servers. They hit the right spots and serve to the right area. It makes the game a lot easier when you can pick up aces like that. It's a great advantage. It makes gaining points a lot easier. It's good to get momentum through aces and we took advantage of it."
Here are the recaps from tonight's action:
Albertus Magnus 3, Rye Neck 0: In a Class C quarterfinal at No. 3 Albertus Magnus, Mallary McFadden had 19 kills, seven aces, eight digs and two blocks in a 25-10, 25-22, 25-22 win. Rachel Williams had six kills, three aces and 12 digs for the No. 11 Panthers.
Dobbs Ferry 3, Westlake 2: In a Class C quarterfinal at No. 1 Dobbs Ferry, Juliette Kost had 14 kills and 15 digs in a 25-20, 25-12, 26-28, 19-25, 25-20 win. Westlake was the No. 8 seed. Dobbs Ferry will host No. 4 Pawling Wednesday in the semifinals.
Pawling 3, Briarcliff 1: In a Class C quarterfinal at No. 4 Pawling, Clara Lombardo had 11 kills, seven digs and 19 assists in a 25-22, 11-25, 25-23, 25-15 win.
Ossining 3, Eastchester 0: In a Class A quarterfinal at No. 5 Ossining, Madison Strippoli had 18 kills and five digs in a 25-19, 25-15, 25-21 win. Tyler Grant had five kills, 23 assists and 10 digs for the No. 13 Eagles. Ossining will play at No. 1 Yorktown Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in the semifinals.
Yorktown 3, Horace Greeley 0: In a Class A quarterfinal at No. 1 Yorktown, Danielle Delulio had three aces, 26 assists and five digs in a 25-6, 25-9, 25-14 win. Rachel Vazquez had 28 digs and three blocks for the No. 9 Quakers.
Panas 3, Yonkers 0: In a Class A quarterfinal at No. 3 Panas, Brigitte Burcescu had 20 kills in a 25-18, 25-11, 25-13 win. Yonkers was the No. 6 seed. Panas will play at No. 2 John Jay Wednesday in the semifinals.
Preston 3, Good Counsel 0: In a CHSAA Bronx/Westchester playoff at Preston, Lauren Thaler had 12 kills and seven digs in a 25-18, 25-20, 26-24 loss for the Cougars.
FUN FACT: Through the 33 match results we have received, 27 have been won via shutout.
Zacchio's prediction record today: 9-0 (Finally!)
Zacchio's prediction record for the Section 1 tournament: 29-4
Zacchio's prediction record for the season overall: 358-72

The Pitfalls: The Great Aunt Who Hates You
I got lucky with my not-quite-in-laws. My boyfriend's parents have seriously drank the Amelia Kool-Aid, and I love them just as much, despite differing political views and the fact that his mother's amazing shoe collection fits me about as well as a DD-bra (meaning, not at all). However, no matter how great your significant other's parents ma be, you're bound to encounter at least one extended family member who thinks your Kool-Aid tastes like cow pee. Ever since a family get-together a year ago, I've suspected that my boyfriend's great aunt wasn't too keen on me, and not just because we're living in sin and I made the mistake of telling her I thought marriage before kids wasn't necessary. After sitting under her watchful eye this Thanksgiving, this great aunt informed my not-quite-mother-in-law, "I think Lauren's boyfriend loves her more than Amelia loves your son." For the record, her other revelations this Thanksgiving included dismay that we all like Barack Obama "even though he's Muslim," inquisitive wonderment that "all those Latinos" could afford to get into Disney World, and concluding a mild Christian sermon with "someone should assassinate O.J. Simpson!" Needless to say, Great Aunt's observations can hardly be taken as kismet. Even so, it's a bummer not being adored by everyone in your boyfriend's family — though every wedding does need an objector!

All these routes will bring you to the eastern portal of the mountains at Calgary, and on to Banff and other points in the Parks.
The return by the east coast was through the counties of Moray and Banff to Aberdeen.
He went back to Aberdeen to look out for news or instructions, but was to join us later at Banff.
I live in the suburbs of Banff now in Miss Joness old house.
The best thing about Banff is that in fifteen or twenty minutes you can be out of it and in Macduff.
She will be found so described in the arms of the Royal Burgh of Banff.
He caught a fine lot of fish in Devil's Lake near Banff, one a lake trout weighing thirty-six pounds.
Banff and Lake Louise are the resorts on the east side of the Divide.
The streets of Banff, though composed of houses varying much in size, are generally straight and of a convenient width.
All the same, to search the rocks from Banff to Revelstoke is a big job.

High school was a 20 minute makeup routine and a remaining five minute lunch break. It was cheering for football games and vats of coffee before early morning class. It was figuring out where to sit in the lunch room and college applications and entrance exams and graduation. High school was also baggy jeans, athletic boys, letterman jackets and backpacks.
This Fashionisto looks straight out of high school, but updates his look to keep up with college. He is wearing a beige and brown letterman wool sweater buttoned all the way to the top over a plain black tee. His jeans are typical denim and baggy and tucked into his boots. His boots are dark burgundy and match the color of his backpack. His backpack has a fun checkered print and adds a pop of color and playfulness to his outfit. He looks comfortable, on trend and still maintains a seasoned professional vibe.
The letterman jacket can be dressed up like this Fashionisto did or can be dressed down by pairing it with shorts, sneakers and a cap. It is wearable, normally matches well with most bottoms and hence lends itself to be extremely transitional. Wearing your old letterman jacket from high school is like opening a memory box – it all comes back.
Hint: If you weren't the athletic type in high school or prefer not to open that Pandora's box of memories, letterman jackets like this sporty sweater style and this classic leather style can be bought at high street stores.

Morning Mix: Republicans Go Crazy Over The Pill
by Jessica Pieklo
February 8, 2012
Culture warrior and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum is having a good moment. Tuesday's caucus sweep settles the question of which candidate social conservatives support AND the entire Republican party has whipped itself into a frenzy over birth control pills. Seriously.
I understand the Bishops don't like contraception, and I understand practicing Catholics do, but I think there's a solution here: universal single payer. Just a thought.
You know who is not having a good moment? Newt Gingrich. This is likely the most coverage he's gotten since Tuesday night.
How hostile is the cultural climate toward women? So hostile a group of sitting U.S. Senators launched a Women's Rights Commission to push back against this re-incarnation of Hawthornian Puritanism. If you haven't done so, take some time and read The Scarlet Letter. It's astonishingly on-point.

Has anyone installed m0n0wall on a system that uses Disk-on-chip?
I have two Net Nimble WRIP systems that I would love to replace the
software with m0n0wall. Net Nimble's software is very limited and uses
old drivers and such. It's very proprietary. The biggest problem I
have, it comes with no documentation at all. I just have to guess at
what I'm doing. If I could rewind, I would not have bought them.
If anyone has any information on how to get m0n0wall onto a
Disk-on-chip type system, please email me.

Bridget breaks box office record
The comedy Bridget Jones's Diary has taken more than Ł5.7m at the UK box office in its first weekend, the most successful ever opening for a British film.
The film, starring Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, beat the previous record held by Notting Hill, also starring Grant, which pulled in Ł5m at the box office.
Takings for Bridget Jones's Diary, based on the popular book by Helen Fielding, were helped by two days of preview screenings on 11 and 12 April.
The British box office record for international films is held by the fourth Star Wars movie, The Phantom Menace, which took Ł9.5m in its opening weekend.
Spoof column
Bridget Jones's Diary began life as a spoof column by Fielding in The Independent, on which she then based a novel.
The book has sold more than four million copies worldwide, with 1.5m sales in the UK alone.
The comedy has also performed well in the US box office charts where it opened at number three, taking $10.8m (Ł7.5m).
Next week the film will be rolled out to a thousand more screens in the US.

Best I've ever used !!
By Kathy
from Ennismore
I ordered the light CC cream and it is perfect for my skin.....goes on smooth and feels nice, not heavy. I have combination skin, so I put a light dusting of translucant powder on after the CC cream and it looks natural and gives the coverage I need. Wonderful product !!

Love,Love, Love this CC Cream!
By Happy Shopper
from Picton Ontario
This is wonderful cream! I use it as my main foundation as the coverage is excellent. I bought both the light and the medium and in the summer I mix a little of each in my hand and apply. It gives just the right color for my summer tan. In the winter I just use the light. I am so impressed with all of Lily's products. My skin has never looked as good and I am 64 years old and over the years have used many, many products, but I have found Lily's the best!
A natural look
By Annie
from Quebec
I love Lily's CC cream, the colour is very good and natural.It makes my morning routine much faster,and the result is flawless and very comfortable all day. The trick is to dab it in a rolling motion.All that said I went back to get some more.
Lily Herbceuticals Has a New Customer!
By CAROLINE
from THORNHILL
Purchased the Jade CC Cream in the Light and was very pleased with its performance and light fragrance. I'm looking forward to Lily's return so I can try her other products. Hope to see the main line as a Showstopper or Blockbuster price!

very nice...
By lori
from Comox, B.C.
This is the only product that I have tried in the Lily Herbceuticals...so far that is. I really like the CC cream, the coverage it provides is great but not only that, it feels wonderful on your skin and even at night when I wash it off my skin is so soft from having it on all day. I love watching Lily when she is on TSC too, she is such a character but also very knowledgeable. I look forward to trying other products in her line.

Wonderful Product!!!
By pickygirl
from Montreal
I just want tell everyone this is a wonderful product, please don't miss out on this. I just use once in the morning, it kept my skin so hydrated all day long. My face just looks great, clearer, purer, and flawless. I use the light color, it spreads very easily onto my face, all my friends are buying this now, unfortunately, the shopping channel is out of stock. Please keep it coming. I can't go out without it now.

Unbelievably Fantastic!
By Peekay
from Toronto, ON
Although I try a lot of foundations and covering type products, I can't wear most of them as they irritate my skin and/or make it feel as if I have a ton of make-up on, which I do not like.After hearing that CC creams are the next generation I thought I would try Lily's. This is the first product I can wear all day without irritation, it is light enough that it doesn't feel like I'm wearing pancake make-up and I don't experience any breakout after using it. I love it!

Another winner
By Rosemary
from Burlington, Ontario
I am using this as a concealer. It matches my skin tone perfectly and covers up my brown spots. I was having to blend other concealers together which always gave a blotchy look. Another thank you to Lily.

- Organic Turmeric and Vitamin C Cleanser
Product Description
The Best Natural Face Wash
Our superb Turmeric and Vitamin C organic face cleanser is absolutely perfect for all skin types and simply the best face cleanser we've ever tried. This is an entirely unique all-natural formula that feels like an oil but rinses off cleanly with warm water. Our deep cleansing formula is properly ph balanced to calm and tone while oil, dirt and debris are removed from the skin. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and helps to regulate the skin's oil production so pores stay cleaner and clearer with fewer breakouts. Vitamin C is one of the best, most effective ingredients to help protect and brighten the skin. Plantain Leaf is wonderful for calming irritations and helping to revitalize tired skin. This natural face cleanser works to minimize redness and evens out skin tones, which leaves skin looking and feeling clean, calm, and radiant. This fantastic natural cleanser also effectively removes make-up (including mascara). Perfectly suited for men and women, we whole-heartedly recommend our Turmeric and Vitamin C face cleanser for all skin types. Unlike most other face cleansers, our cleanser does not leave skin parched because this cleanser targets the oil and dirt without damaging the skin's delicate acid mantle. This means that skin is clean, balanced and healthy. This cleanser is gentle enough for daily use (morning and night) and is the perfect foundation for the best organic skin care regimen.
What Makes This Unique?
- Incredibly gentle, yet effectively cleans even stubborn make-up
- ph balanced so that it won't strip skin of its natural oils
- Turmeric helps to minimize inflammation and balances the skin's oil production so skin "behaves".
To Use: For best results, gently massage about 1/2 teaspoon cleanser into the skin, taking care to avoid the eyes. Rinse with warm water. Pat dry and follow with toner.
4 oz bottle
For All Skin Types
Ingredients Glycerin*, Distilled water, Saponified oils of Olive (olea europaea)*, Coconut (cocos nucifera)*, and Jojoba (simmondsia chinensis)*, Aloe (barbadensis)*, Lemon Juice (citrus x limon)*, Plantain Extract (musa paradisiaca)*, Turmeric Extract (curcuma longa)*, Essential Oils of Lavender (augustifolia)*, Rosemary (r. officinalis)*, Lemongrass (cymbopogon)*, and Muhuhu (brachylaena huillensis)*, Rosemary Oil Extract. * Certified Organic

Fresh + Spicy
Posted by Unknown on 28th Nov 2016
Slathering this cleanser on my face in the am is a wonderful way to wake up. I really enjoy the scent and it makes my skin feel tingly. A little goes a long way! It was an almost oil like feel, but doesn't leave residue on your face.
6 stars?
Posted by Angelina on 26th Jun 2016
I have tried so many cleansers and my expectations were lower than they should have been. It took a little while to break the habit of wanting to add water first, but I think this cleanser is the best cleanser ever. I have crazy sensitive skin and I swear, the cleanser just makes my skin look so calm and dewy.
Posted by Unknown on 9th Jun 2016
It's the best cleanser I've ever used. It takes a little while to get used to not adding water to it, but it works really really well. My skin looks glowy after I use it. I know, I know: glowy. My skin doesn't feel dry or iritated. It just feels soft. Best part is that I only use about 1/2 tsp each time I use it.
Clears up my breakouts
Posted by sss on 16th May 2016
I have a lot of reddish tones to my skin and I get breakouts. THis face wash actually makes my skin look calmer dnd clearer. Yes, really.
The original was great, this is even better
Posted by Lissa on 10th May 2016
I was so sad when they changed the formula because I liked the old formula. They somehow made this even better. I love the ingredients and the packaging is great, too.
Posted by Rachel R. on 10th Sep 2015
Skin feels totally clean and refreshed after using.
Best for my skin
Posted by Unknown on 23rd Aug 2015
It's easy to use, works and smells nice, too. THere's nothing fussy, but my skin feels clean and soft after I use it.
The best
Posted by Unknown on 19th Aug 2015
I didn't really believe the reviews but this is truly the best face cleanser I've ever used.
the very best
Posted by Unknown on 17th Aug 2015
I think I've tried every brand and I feel as if 90% of what I've tried just don't work at all. This works and is about half the price of some of the brands I've tried.
just buy it

Skywriting -- Feb 11, 1998
Main Menu
Continued from Feb 10, 1998
Paul awoke the next morning to find himself standing in a daisy-filled meadow. "Why am I here?" asked Paul. "Why indeed?" said John, who was standing next to him. Just then George walked up to where John and Paul were standing. "Why are you here?" asked George. "We were going to ask you the same question," said John and Paul. "It doesn't matter, really," said George. "No, not really," said Paul. "This is pathetic. I'm leaving," announced John as he lit up a cigarette and left the sunshine-filled meadow. "What was that all about?" asked George. "You wouldn't understand," Paul muttered coldly.
He continued, " It's these american types, they're at it again. They've set up a bloody website where people just make up the story as they go along and pretend something good comes out of it but really it's an excuse to write about sex or the blues brothers or swear". "Oh shit", said George. "I joined the band to end up like this?" John walked up to them patted them on the back and said,"that's showbiz fellers..." They ambled to the nearest pub for a pint of guinness and a packet of nuts....
"Dis is racial discrimination!" Shouted Apu Then to make things interesting, pulled down his pants and *almost* covered his naughty bits with a piece of cloth when...
Tatum, (the strange black-haired girl) jumped out from behind a bush and took his picture. Three weeks later, Apu was surfing the net and saw it on a web page. it seems that Tatum had given it to her friend, who had an obvious liking for those flasher types...
"And you just can't charge her, uh?", a girl said to Apu. "That's the worst part. You new here?" "Oh, I'm just passing by. My name is Anna. Excuse me, but who are those guys there?". "The owners of the story.", Apu said. "no matter what people write, they write about them." Anna just looked straight to them - maybe the first woman in the whole story who didn't pay attention on them . "Id better be moving. See you a next time, Apu." She climbed down the staircase that led to the subway station, and disappeared.
While she was waiting the train, Anna was humming some unknown melody. "I was really in need to write a song.", she thought. "But this idea of the walrus and 'see how they fly, like Lucy in the Sky' is a idea that nobody will ever buy!" The train stopped and she met her friend Rea. Greeting exchanged, they moved to the nearest pub. "So how's the story?" "Skywriting? Oh, you don't want me to tell you. Confusion after confusion. The subject keeps changing every two paragraphs.". Rea laughed. "That's why it is there!", and they entered into the pub. Heads turned. They just looked to each other, and, laughing, sat down. Anna kept on looking to the Beatles, just behind she and Rea ( as they were for more than 5 paragraphs now, waht is pretty a miracle ). "Where have seen those guys before?", she whispered to her friend.
"I don't know. I think we had seen them before, but where?" "Never mind. What did you think of the song I sent you?" "It was lovely. But do you think someone will ever but the story of a fool on the hill?" "Nobody will ever buy it", Anna repeated. "I had the same feeling today, remembering that song of the Walrus. It had some neat verses, but it's nonsense to the bone." Nonsense was the situation - John and Paul kept hearing the girls talking, jaws dropped on the floor - not only they didn't recognise them, but they were talking about their songs! "What's going on here?"
"hey, who are you guys, I just wrote those songs today!" said Anna. "Yea, how dare you take those songs ! There gifted peices of writing" added Rea. "This is what we get for not putting clearer copyrights on our songs" said John in a smug voice to Paul. Just then a small, funny little man walked ib. "oh, hello Ringo" said Goerge.
"I should have gone a long time ago." John sat down, buried his head in his arms, and sighed. "Wanna 'nother ciggie?" Paul offered one to his old companion. "Yeah...hell, gimme the whole thing." John seized the pack and retreated back into his shell. He'd had no idea what was going on since page one. He'd at least known who he was then.
"So anyway, where you guys from?" asked Rea. "GOD! DON'T YOU KNOW???!" Paul yelled now not taking it anymore. "WE (he waved his hands around indicting to ringo, john and george) ARE the BEATLES!!" Anna laughed. "Beetles! like bugs? hahah, you copy cats, OUR band is called that!" "what the fook are you talking about?" said John. "Ugh? HELLO? are you guys are you guys living on earth or sumthing? HELLO but yer on Jupiter.." All the beatles looked at each other. "Jupiter?" paul faintly said. "Yeah, what century you've been living in?" laughed anna. the beatle proceeded to do a home alone slap on the face AHHHH thing. There were in some deep crap man!
Dazed, they walked into a music store and looked for something with their names on it, but found nothing. All they saw were crates and crates of that great new album "A Brick Shy" by ORGANIZED CHAOS. "Hey! Look, it's that great new Organized Chaos album!" exclaimed John. "I've been looking all over for it! Funny how they all ended up on Jupiter!" So John bought multiple crates of the new ORGANIZED CHAOS album and they all sat around to ponder the current situation.
"Being on Jupiter sucks!" commented George. "Someone call the Bad Plot Police and get us the bloody hell out of here!" So they did.
Anna and Rea just looked to each other, stiffing laughters. "There's one in every crowd.", Anna said. "C'mon, Rea, we'd better be moving." "Right. See you guys!". Just as they were leaving, Paul locked the door. "No way! Now you're going to tell us how we going to come back home!". The tweo girls stared at each other. "Alright.", Anna finally said. "I don't know how to come back very well - sometimes the process jumps off my head - but I can try. You gotta face the risks." Rea added "One mistake and you end up in deep space. So, what do you say?"
Jupiter isn't a bad place...you never know what those girls are thinking of...besides, here nobody knows us...we could act like normal people for a while..... "We'll think over", Joh said. The two girls walked away. "There's one in every crowd...but you know, that Paul fellow isn't bad." , they could hear Anna saying, her voice fainting on the street. "Yeah, you can repeat it...listen, remember that Let It Be thingie? I got one melody to it."...the voices went away. "well, what do we do now?"
Ringo began to drum his fingers to help himself think. It was more than John could take. "For heaven's sake, will you stop that drumming? I'm trying to think here!" Ringo was so astonished and upset that he went and curled up in the corner and sucked his thumb.
"Stop that unsanitary practice!" Apu screamed (who was very *clean*) "Get your thumb out of your mouth! Cleanse yourself!" and with that he ponced off.
"Was that the end?", wondered John. "Was that the end of the story, Auntie Mimi?" Mimie closed the large book that sat on her lap and unwound John's hands from her arm. "What do you think?" John bit his lip for a moment. "Not really the end, Auntie." He kicked his feet against the chair. "Someone's at the door" He barely concealed his grin. John opened the book again when Mimi had gone to look.
...but there was just one blank plage, with one inscription on it. "Jai Guru Deva", John read. What did those words mean? He didn't know. He repeated it out loud : JAI GURU DEV.... by the time he was finishing the phrase he felt a pair of hands grabbing him. "you wanna see how the story ends? Follow me!"
The pair of hands throwed him thru the window, and he started to fall, till he landed on something. Well, the something complained. "What the hell? It's raining Englishmen tonight!". John stood up, in time to see the one he had landed on. It was that Anna something from aunt Mimi's story. "Uh, hello er...John, right?" "Oh no.Don't tell me we're in Jupiter again." "Jupiter? You're bloody nuts. You're in Germany, John! Hamburg, the prot, do you remember?". John looked to her, as SHE was the nuts one there. "And what are YOU doing here?" , he asked.
young john was soon on a stage in a seat, and saw all these people looking at him. "now john, you say that you slept with your brother and his wife???" little john had no idea where he was. then he looked at some sign "The Jerry Springer Show". What a gay last name he thought to himself...
"Springer. Like a spaniel?" He questioned the man in the KKK uniform beside him. He drew back as he noticed the outfit. "Er..sorry..Mr...um.." He felt himself begin to sweat. The crowd looked at him. He had to do something. "My daddy didn't love me!" There. It had come easy enough and was true enough. The crowd moaned in sympathy. He had the compassion of the trailer park masses. Better than nothing.
"I feel your pain! But you too can overcome with the help of the LAWD" Bellowed a woman from the very back. "Actually, I..." He heard a snarl from the man in white and backed down. The woman lurched up the aisle, waving her copy of the Bible as you would wave a flag. John occupied his mind with thoughts of happier places and times as the woman rushed forward.
"Get the hell outa there, John!", she said, grabbing him "Believe me, you don't want to stay here much longer." They ran till the church, and all the rest, was out of sight. "That's not like you, hanging 'round with those two-timing fellas", Anna said, smiling. "How do I come back?", he asked "The same way you entered in it. Jai Guru Deva.". He shouted the phrase the louder he could - and in no time he was back to the beginning. Back to the living room, with his aunt Mimi reading him a story.
He lay his head on Mimi's shoulder. "auntie....don't let me go back there." She looked at him. "John Winston Lennon, what are you talking about?" He looked up at her, expecting a smile. There was none. "Jai Guru Deva- Om..." Aunt Mimi looked at him strangely. It seemed to her that her little boy had lost his mind in a matter of moments after playing his joke.
"Auntie I had such a dream...even if I told you it you'd never believe." Mimi just looked straight to her nephew, worried face. "John, your mother's here.", she said. "Mum?" All his hopes and fears crystalized in that single word. He wanted to see her sweet face with her near-red hair. He also dreaded seeing her.
"Is she...here?", he asked. Mimi just pointed the door, as if she was letting things go. If the world could stop turning for one moment, THAT would be the moment.
His jaw hung open in awe. This was, perhaps, the moment that would explain all. He expected time to freeze. He was suprised when she strode into the room. She smelled faintly of flowers.
Julia was beautiful, but strangely reminded him of all those women from his dreams....or was it? (I have had, I did have, I will have, READ ON!) "Mummy?" John asked, suddenly feeling corny for saying the trite cliched English phrase. "Yes, luv?" Julia answered, in a fashion that was just as America's-idea-of-what-English-people-talk-like. "Tell me what the purpose of this story is, please?! What is real and what is just a dream? Who am I? Am I a Beatle, or just a little boy?" "You are all of those things, John" she answered mysteriously, and then she floated away and John couldn't even remember that she'd been there.
So he shrugged it off and went to go throw watermellons off of bridges at cars.
Or bowling balls. Just for a larf, you see.
"I can set you free." A small voice in his right ear whispered. John smacked at the sound, catching only a handful of hair on his wedding ring. "I can release you from your earthly chains" He swatted again.
While John tossed the watermelons and bowling balls, Paul strolled up with his face a mask of mystery (SEXY mystery). "Whatcha been up to?" John asked. "Well," Paul grinned.
"I've been all around the world and back, and seen many things, from the hairy bubba guys, in jail, to the wide spread plains of Spadix.It was a happy place." Of course by now, John could tell that the funny look on his parter's face could only mean one thing, that Paul was trippin out on smack again.. John stared at Paul for a few moments, and then looked out the window. He was very tired, and very bored. All these journeys had no meaning to him..Paul spoke again, in his drug infused haze.. "You know, that lot of birds, they mean absolutely nothing to me.. It's an in and out job, ya know mate? Love 'em and leave em.Wot's the point of wasting my time on them?? They only give me one thing." John continued to stare out the window,as Paul droned on, about sex.John really wasn't paying much attention to Paul right now, becuase Paul was going on one of his MANY ego trips. "And I remember the time that she." John quickly moved his attention elsewhere in the room..The poster for their album.. The golden albums...

excerpt:"ackson was just a young teenager when he appeared in the three MIGHTY DUCKS films. He then went on to star as Pacey Witter in the hit WB series DAWSON'S CREEK, and has appeared in the horror films SCREAM 2, APT PUPIL, URBAN LEGEND, CURSED and SHUTTER as well as such nongenre movies as THE SAFETY OF OBJECTS, THE LARAMIE PROJECT and BOBBY. Making his return to TV with FRINGE, Jackson is enjoying the opportunity to take on challenges both physical (action, fighting and racing around) and mental (cracking the Pattern puzzles and crazy science elements) as well as share the screen with a cow. What's his favorite aspect of the show?
"The cow is a diva; it's a little known fact. She isn't very giving," Jackson laughs. "I don't know that I have a particular favorite. I think if I did any one of those things too much, each one would become boring in its own way. The hope is to try and balance those things out as much as possible, if not in every episode, then in every couple of episodes. What I spend time thinking about is trying to keep the dynamic between Peter and Walter truthful and growing, but the beauty of being on a television show is that you get to do a little bit of everything all of the time."

Bosses at The Dorchester allegedly threatened the female rapper to leave the building after sending fans into a frenzy during a meet-and-greet.
Rap sensation Nicki Minaj was almost booted out of a top London hotel on Thursday, January 20 after bosses became annoyed by the huge numbers of fans crowding the entrance to the venue to catch a glimpse of the star. The hip-hop star is on the London leg of her European promotional tour and checked into The Dorchester earlier this week for the duration of her stay in the U.K. capital.
But hotel executives allegedly threatened to kick Minaj out of her suite after sending fans into a frenzy and causing chaos when she stepped out to meet devotees and sign autographs. Taking to her Twitter.com page, Minaj writes, "Ugh! The lonon (sic) barbz (fans) r giving me life! They're so passionate. They're still @ the hotel. The hotel is threatening to kick me out."
However, the rapper is refusing to cut back on her public meet-and-greets. She adds, "I can't NOT interact with my barbz. Do u NOT know how hard that is?"

THE federal government says a target to refurbish nearly 5000 homes in remote indigenous communities has been surpassed more than a year early.
Under the $5.5 billion National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing program there was a target to refurbish 4876 homes by July 2014.
But in a statement on Friday Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin said figures showed that by October 31, 5001 homes had already been refurbished.
The statement did not say how much of the $5.5 billion had been spent so far, but a spokesman for the minister said the new works would continue as planned and the funding was not expected to run out.
Refurbishing the homes involves bringing them up to a liveable standard with functioning kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms among other things, a spokesman for the minister said.
The figures show that more than half the refurbishments have taken place in the Northern Territory, which has surpassed its original target of 2052 homes by about 25 per cent.
The government also says it is on track to build 4200 new homes by 2018, with more than 1400 already build.
"Decent housing is critical to tackling indigenous disadvantage," the statement from Ms Macklin's office said.
"It helps protect children, improves health, education and employment outcomes and is essential to rebuilding positive community norms," she said.

China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) will acquire half of one of the country's leading coal seam gas companies for 1.2 billion yuan ($US181.2 million), as the country's third-largest oil and gas company expands further in the unconventional gas business.
CNOOC, parent of Hong Kong-listed CNOOC, will buy a 50 per cent stake in China United Coalbed Methane.
China United Coalbed Methane has 27 coal seam gas blocks with proven reserves of around 50 billion cubic metres, they said.
China National Coal Group Corp, parent of China Coal Energy, which owns 100 per cent of China United Coalbed Methane, would hold the other half of the company after the deal, they said.
Earlier this month, CNOOC said it would acquire 50 per cent of the exploration rights in five Australian coal seam gas blocks owned by
In March, CNOOC agreed to buy 3.6 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year for 20 years from BG Group's Queensland Curtis export plant in Australia that will use coal seam gas as feedstock. It said it would take equity stakes in the gas reserves and production facilities.
CNOOC had previously said that it was looking to expand its coalbed methane business and that it was considering using unconventional gas resources in the northern province of Shanxi to supply regional clients in the form of pipeline gas, compressed natural gas, or liquefied natural gas.

Date/Time: Sunday, August 21, 2011, 2:00pm ET
The Billings Big Sky Little League pulled off another upset Sunday at the 2011 Little League Baseball World Series, taking a 3-1 victory over the Southwest regional representatives. The win propels the Northwest champs deeper into the winner's bracket and hands Lafayette Little League its first loss since tournament play started over six weeks ago.
The game remained scoreless until the top of the third when Northwest leftfielder Ben Askelson roped a base-clearing double to give his team an early 2-0 lead.
"During my first at bat, I was anxious and took some bad cuts," he said. "But I tried to stay relaxed and just waited for a fastball."
Askelson's RBIs provided all the run support his pitcher Patrick Zimmer needed. Zimmer continued his methodic, but brilliant performance, holding his opponents to a paltry four hits over five innings. No Southwest base runner even reached third base.
"He just throws strikes and hits his spots," said Northwest manager Gene Carlson. "That's important at this level."
Carlson did not shy away from showing his surprise at his team's successful 2-0 series start.
"Yeah, I'm a little surprised," he admitted. "But we always knew we belonged. These guys can play with anyone."
But despite the optimistic circumstances, Carlson and his team aren't looking too far ahead.
"What's our next goal?" asked third baseman Ian Leatherberry. "To win the next game. We're taking this one pitch at a time."
This same thought rings true for Southwest manager Leland Padgett, too, considering his squad has never been forced to brave post-loss terrain.
"We're not gonna make a big deal out of losing," Padgett said. "The biggest thing for a 12-year-old is to learn how to lose. Winning's too easy."
Lafayette Little League's next game will be an elimination game Monday at 8 p.m. against the hometown Mid-Atlantic team from Keystone Little League. The boys from Billings must wait until Wednesday, where they await the winner of Sunday's matchup between the Great Lakes and the West.

Shell Oil Co. has been slapped with a final order to clean all the surface soil at the 44-acre Carousel tract housing development in Carson.
The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board order, released Monday, requires Shell to submit a work plan within two months for how the company will clean the top 10 feet of soil across the entire site, which sits on a former oil tank farm.
The massive cleanup could begin as soon as this summer, according to Water Quality Control Board officials who are overseeing the project. Residents will be relocated during the remediation.
"We don't want to wait until 10 years from now to find out that not doing the most stringent cleanup resulted in health risks," said Fran Diamond, chair of the water board. "The data may not all be there now but it's important to us to know we're doing this to the best of our ability."
The Carousel tract - 285 single-family homes north of Lomita Boulevard between Marabella and Panama avenues - was found to have elevated levels of cancer-causing chemicals during routine testing in 2007. Since then, a tedious process of testing and planning for cleanup has been unfolding.
The water board estimated the health risk to residents was slightly above acceptable levels and ordered Shell to make the area suitable for residential living.
The area was contaminated from 1924 to 1966, when it was used as a Shell Oil tank farm that stored crude oil in reservoirs.
Most of the area residents are now suing Shell Oil Co. for alleged declines in home values and physical injury. Some residents believe they have leukemia as a result of benzene and other hydrocarbons in the soil.
Tom Girardi of Girardi & Keese, the law firm representing residents, said he is pleased with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board's order.
"We think that the water board was able to look at the massive expert opinions we provided, and clearly they are of the view that the people have to be protected," Girardi said. "When Shell Oil Co. tells people not to let their children dig in the backyard, maybe something should be done about it. And they've decided to do something about it."
Shell Oil Co. spokeswoman Alison Abbott Chassin said the company will continue to work with environmental regulators.
"We remain committed to the environmental investigation," she said. "Our priority is the health and safety of the community. We understand the importance of completing testing in a timely manner and sharing the data with the water board and all the agencies involved."
A 30-day public comment period has begun as the water board seeks input on the order. The current order does not preclude future additional orders to clean groundwater and deeper soil, water board officials said.
"We hope that we can look forward to a time in the not-too-distant future where people feel the soil has been cleaned and they know we've done our best, and they feel their property has been protected and - most of all - their health," Diamond said.

Tax experts said family trust deeds often granted trustees wide-ranging powers, such as those on display in the Rinehart family's $4 billion trust dispute.
The court case has prompted a Labor senator to question whether trust laws need to be changed.
John Hancock and his sisters, Hope Rinehart-Welker and
Hall & Wilcox partner Michael Parker said it was not uncommon for a trust deed to give a trustee wide powers of amendment.
If given the power, it was hard to stop a trustee from doing what they proposed, he said.
But it was unusual to see a vesting date as short as the Rinehart trust's original date – around 24 years.
"Most modern deeds that I see would have a vesting date of 80 years or such date as doesn't breach the rule against perpetuities," he said.
This means that trust deeds often contain the power to allow the trustee to bring the vesting date forward, but not push it back – as that would breach rules in most states that govern the maximum life of a trust. Mrs Rinehart told her children last September that vesting had to be extended to avoid bankrupting them with a huge tax bill triggered on vesting. While trust rules are complex, as a general proposition when a beneficiary becomes absolutely entitled to a capital asset they make a gain based on the difference between its market value and what they paid to get their interest in the trust.
Due to restrictions on selling or encumbering the shares in Hancock Prospecting, the primary asset of the trust, Mrs Rinehart warned the children they would have no way to cover the tax bill.
Mr Parker said it was not uncommon to see such restrictions on the ability to transfer shares to non-family members in private and closely-held groups. "So they become quite illiquid assets," he added.
The Rinehart stoush has prompted Labor Senator
Mr Cameron said the family battle had prompted him to take a closer look at the issue, which he would raise during the May budget Senate estimates hearings.
"My concern is about whether there is enough protection within trusts for the participants and whether the laws are robust enough for a modern economy, what it is costing the government and what the return is," he told The Australian Financial Review.
"While some trusts are used by farmers and small business, we have seen the development of super trusts where billionaires can park billions of dollars of money. I intend to take a closer look at it to satisfy myself the legislation is appropriate."
Senator Cameron brought up the issue in a Labor caucus meeting in Canberra on Tuesday.
Treasury is reviewing trust laws, a process Mr Parker said could lead to a tightening of the rules. "We see it in some ways as an opportunity to try and simplify it."
