BEE Gees pop legend Robin Gibb was in a coma last night, amid fears he has
only days to live.
The 62-year-old star's family were keeping a bedside vigil.
Robin has been battling colon and liver cancer and now has pneumonia.
Family and fans of the Bee Gee were last night praying for his survival.
The singer, whose many hits include How Deep Is Your Love, recently appeared
to have made a miracle recovery.
But doctors now believe a secondary tumour is present — and he has worryingly
developed pneumonia.
Robin's wife Dwina, brother Barry, 65, daughter Melissa, 37, and sons Spencer,
39, and Robin-John, 29, were at his bedside in a private hospital in
Chelsea, West London.
A family friend said: "Our prayers are with Robin. He has kept so positive and
always believed he could beat this.
"Sadly, it looks like he has developed pneumonia, which is very bad in his
"If there is anyone you would put money on pulling through such a dire
situation, it would be Robin because he is a fighter. But this is a battle
he will struggle to win."
Robin's health problems began in October 2010, when he had emergency surgery
to treat a blocked bowel.
He then had further surgery to treat a twisted bowel — the condition that
killed his twin brother Maurice nine years ago at the age of 53.
Colon cancer was diagnosed and it spread to his liver.
As he battled to recover, the star launched into composing a requiem for The
Titanic, the doomed ship for which he has had a lifelong fascination.
The music, co-written with his son Robin-John — dubbed RJ — was premiered in
central London on Thursday. Sadly, Robin was too ill to attend.
RJ said his dad — whose career has stretched from the 1960s to the present —
was heartbroken to miss the live performance.
He said: "It was the one place he really wanted to be and he couldn't be."
Robin's frail condition became apparent last October, when he appeared on The
Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV1 looking thin and gaunt.
Hours earlier he cancelled a meeting with David Cameron because he felt unwell
and that month was rushed to hospital.
He had to cancel an appearance at the Soldiering Awards charity event last
month after he was rushed to hospital for emergency stomach treatment.
His agent said it was a cause "extremely close to his heart" and he still
hoped to unveil a memorial to RAF Bomber Command on June 28.
Robin, who lives in a 12th-century abbey in Thame, Oxfordshire, fears his
cancer and the deaths of two of his brothers is fate paying him back for his
successful career.
He told The Sun last month: "I sometimes wonder if all the tragedies my family
has suffered — like Andy and Maurice dying so young and everything that's
happened to me recently — is a kind of karmic price we are paying for all
the fame and fortune we've had."
Praising poet wife Dwina for aiding his cancer fight, he said: "She gave me
health foods and brewed herb teas for me, alongside conventional treatment."
The Bee Gees — Robin, Barry and Maurice — sold more than 200million records
with hits including Gotta Get A Message To You, Massachusetts, Stayin' Alive
and Night Fever.
Robin said last month he was in remission from cancer, adding: "I can't wait
to carry on with my work. I want all my fans to know their love helps me so
A spokesman declined to comment last night.
By Dr CAROL COOPER, The Sun's GP
ROBIN will not be able to move of his own will now — or respond to any
stimulation, whether it's touch, pain, or the voice of a much-loved
One can assume his coma is the result of the cancer that has probably spread
to the brain.
But it can also be caused by an overwhelming infection. In either case, he
would be very unlikely to recover.
He may remain in a coma for days or he may breathe his last quite soon. Nobody
can really make such predictions.
His family will now want to spend time with him and say their goodbyes.
Patients who appear unconscious and unresponsive can often still hear.
Robin's loving family will still be able to comfort him — even if he can't
respond to them.

No. 16 Florida State Men's Tennis Hosts Regional For Third Consecutive Year
Related Links
April 28, 2009
2009 NCAA Men's Tennis Bracket
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- The No. 16-ranked Florida State will host a NCAA Regional for the third consecutive season as it was announced on Tuesday, April 28.
"We're thrilled to be hosting because we always feel like we play well at home," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "We'll have a big crowd out there as we face some pretty tough teams."
The Seminoles (19-8) will play Jacksonville State in the first round of the tournament on Friday, May 8, at 1:00 p.m. The Gamecocks won the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament and had a 21-2 record during the regular season. In the other first round match-up No. 2-seed Auburn will play No. 3-seed South Florida at 10:00 a.m. The Tigers earned a 13-10 record in the regular season and finished seventh in the SEC. The Bulls (14-8) won the 2009 Big East Championship and defeated Florida State 5-2 earlier in the season.
"Auburn has beaten Florida and South Florida beat us so we know those teams are good," Hultquist said. "We don't know a lot about Jacksonville State right now, but we do know they have a tremendous record."
Last season the Garnet and Gold defeated Samford in the first round and South Alabama in the second round to advance to the round of 16 for the second time in school history.
"One of the things we do this time of year is work on getting into good physical condition," Hulquist said. "In a couple of days we'll be done with finals and we will be able to work on our doubles game and what each guy needs to do to win his individual matches."
The winners of the first two matches will play on Saturday, May 9, at 1:00 p.m., with the winner advancing to the round of 16 in College Station, Texas. For living scoring and NCAA Championship Information log onto www.seminoles.com.

There is a good old fashioned film called For Greater Glory that is done in an epic style and tells the story about the little-known Cristero War. It is about a daring people's revolt that became a civil war inMexico in the 1920s, and it has surprising relevance in today's world.
"This is a part of history, and yet so few people have ever heard of it. It is a true story of tremendous bravery," said Eva Longoria, who is part of the stellar multi-national cast that includes Andy Garcia, Peter O'Toole, Nestor Carbonell, Ruben Blades, Bruce Greenwood, Bruce McGill, Santiago Cabrera, and Oscar Isaac. Shot on historical locations throughoutMexico, it is directed by Dean Wright, and written by Michael Love.
Garcia plays a retired military man and Longoria is his devout wife, and they risk everything to help stop their country's religious persecution imposed by the ruthless government. Longoria explained, "The movie asks the question, what would you pay for the price of freedom? I am very proud to be part of this remarkable story."
Longoria said For Greater Glory was a passion project for her. And at the recent NBC press day for the network's upcoming shows, the former Desperate Housewives star talked about another very different passion project.
Longoria is the force behind a new relationship show she's currently producing, called Ready for Love for NBC. She said it is "a really fun labor of love, helping men find the right women to share their lives with."
The petite actress noted that she has produced the ALMA Awards for five years, with great success. And after eight seasons on Desperate Housewives, she said she wants to do more producing because "I have a very strong business mind, and so I like putting the pieces together, being part of the creative process behind the scenes. That was really appealing to me. And to be behind the camera and to help develop it with NBC. I'm a workaholic, and I love the medium of television."
She said this type of reality show is perfect for her because "I've always been in love with love." So she went into talks with NBC and the idea was developed into a contemporary matchmaking modern format.
Describing the show, Eva said, "We'll have three awesome, eligible, handsome, funny gorgeous guys who are ready for love. They have my stamp of approval. I actually got to be part of the search acrossAmericafor them. They are three very different, very diverse guys from different backgrounds and different parts of the country, with different successes. Women will get to be part of the show if they think they could really love one of these guys. The catch is they have to make it through our three matchmakers."
No, Longoria will not be one of the matchmakers. "We'll have professionals. I'm a horrible matchmaker," said the twice-divorced Texas-native with a smile.
Eva thinks that the matchmaker element will set her relationship show apart. "It's contemporary and refreshing to focus on a genuine journey to find a soul mate for these guys."
Eva has been on her own journey, personally and professionally, ever since she caught audiences' attention in the soap opera The Young and the Restless.
She said, "I don't think fame has affected me as much as the success I've enjoyed has really been a blessing in my life. It affords me the opportunity to do things like Ready for Love, and producing the ALMA Awards, or anything else that I want to put my mind to."
Also in her future are Who Gets the Dog (which she co-produced), Long Time Gone, The Baytown Outlaws, and several more films.

Less than a Week Left to Comment on the Green‑e Energy Certification Standard: Singapore
Comments accepted through January 28, 2017
Green-e Energy seeks feedback on the new Green-e Energy Certification Standard: Singapore ("Singapore Standard") and is accepting feedback from all interested stakeholders through 11:59pm Singapore Time on Saturday, January 28, 2017 (7:59am Pacific Standard Time). The Singapore Standard will allow Green-e Energy certification of renewable energy products throughout Singapore, in order to accelerate the development of renewable generation and renewable electricity markets, and provide consumers a meaningful mechanism through which they can express demand for renewable electricity.
Feedback is requested on the Singapore Standard overall as well as any specific topics of interest, including:
- Interaction of renewable energy purchasing and local laws and policies
- Environmental sustainability criteria for biomass and biogas
- Use of renewable energy tracking systems
- Support for new and upgraded renewable electricity generators
- Use of on-site generators
- Future interaction with neighboring electricity grids
Green-e Energy has also released for comment a draft Terms of Reference document for the Singapore Standard. As part of the standard setting process, CRS has developed the Terms of Reference to lay out out the key issues that a Singapore Standard would address, including market value, sustainability, comparison to and compatibility with other existing relevant standards, implementation risk, and how to address such risk.
Stakeholder comments on both the Singapore Standard and the Terms of Reference are due by 11:59pm Singapore Time on Saturday, January 28, 2017.
Both documents, as well as PDF of all survey questions, are available at Green-e Energy International Framework Criteria for Renewable Energy Certification for you to view before submitting comments.
If you choose to take the survey rather than providing written comments, the time needed to complete the survey will depend on which questions you answer and the detail of your responses. If you need to pause while taking the survey (for example, to look up information), you may resume it at any time prior the submission deadline, by using the link that directed you there initially, provided you do so from the same computer and browser. You may also go back and change your answers at any time prior to clicking "Finish and Submit Responses" at the end of the survey.
To take the survey go to: Feedback on Green-e Energy Certification Standard: Singapore. Or email written comments to: email@example.com with the subject "Singapore Standard Comments".
About the Green-e Energy Certification Standard: Singapore
The Green-e Energy Certification Standard: Singapore (Singapore Standard) provides Green-e Energy's requirements for certification of renewable electricity sales and consumption in Singapore. The Singapore Standard is being developed as a Regional Standard under the Green-e Energy International Framework Criteria for Renewable Energy Certification (Framework). Through consultation with local stakeholders, the Singapore Standard will allow electricity users to purchase and support high-quality renewables to accelerate the development of renewable generation and renewable electricity markets in Singapore.

Roughyeds place faith in Dempsey
Date published: 27 May 2014
OLDHAM Rugby League Club have signed their 'baby' on professional forms.
Seventeen-year-old half-back Tom Dempsey, the youngest player at Whitebank, has signed so that he can continue his development in the under-20s squad, knowing he has a future at the club.
Runcorn-based Dempsey joined Oldham at the start of the season. In a relatively short time he has made a big impression while occupying a key role in the under-20s squad.
"He has handled this situation admirably, which in itself is a pointer to his future prospects," said club chairman Chris Hamilton. "He has all the attributes – ability, desire, commitment and a terrific attitude.
"He was bitterly disappointed not to be retained by Wigan, but I've had a long chat with his parents and explained to them that 17 he still has his future ahead of him.
"We have had several examples at our club of young players who have suffered similar knocks at Super League clubs but are now pursuing a different path and moving onwards and upwards."
"He is young and he has a lot of work to do, but we feel he has the makings of a very good player and that we can be good for each other."
Under-20s coach Neil Roden alerted Oldham coach Scott Naylor to the youngster's potential and Naylor has kept a close eye on him.
"I've seen him a few times and I like what I see," said Naylor. "By signing players like Dempsey and Richard Joy we are looking to the future."

The Olympus Stylus SH-1 is a 16-megapixel compact camera with a 25-600mm (eq.) f/3-6.9 lens and 5-axis optical image stabilisation. Other key features include a PEN-like design with aluminium alloy body, 1080p movies, high-speed video recording for slow-motion playback, a time-lapse movie mode, a 460kdot/3in touchscreen, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The SH-1 will be available in a choice of silver, black or white for £349.99/$399.99 from the end of April.
Olympus Press Release
Gorgeous looks and world-exclusive technology?
Olympus Stylus SH-1 shows how it's done.
The beautiful Olympus SH-1 puts the wow factor back into compact camera design – and its record-breaking technology puts genuine quality back into razor-sharp photos and high-speed HD movies shot on the fly. It's the world's only* digital compact to feature 5-axis optical** image stabilisation for both stills and 1080p HD movies. When you're on the move and only have a split second to capture a crisp close-up or video at 24x zoom, image stabilisation of this calibre can make or break that once-in-a-lifetime shot. The SH-1 will be available in a choice of silver, black or white for £349.99 from the end of April 2014.
Sharp edges
World-class image stabilisation makes the SH-1 the compact category leader. It takes the blur – and worry – out of shooting high-resolution videos or still photos on the move. Lightweight cameras can be difficult to hold steady and when you focus with a powerful 24x optical zoom, camera shake can be exaggerated to the extent that it ruins your shot. The SH-1 fixes this problem with the world's only* 5-axis image stabilisation system for both high-speed HD movies and stills in a compact digital camera. Conventional systems only correct yaw and pitch – and have their limitations. But the Olympus system virtually eliminates blur in all five planes of movement. For example, it counteracts the tendency of lightweight cameras to rotate around the lens when they're used without a tripod, as well as the juddering from side to side that often affects macro shots. Blur is even more disappointing when it affects a video because you don't normally get a second take. But the 5-axis technology on the SH-1 works so well that you can shoot long Full HD movies from the back of a moving scooter, with up to 240fps.
Fast framing
Image stabilisation isn't the only clever technology hidden beneath that head-turning body. The SH-1 comes with a handy level gauge, or artificial horizon, to keep your images straight and centred leaving you free to focus on framing your shot – which you can do with just one touch of the LCD screen. Unusually for a camera with a 24x optical zoom, the SH-1 lens delivers excellent, 16-Megapixel image quality all the way from 25mm*** wide angles to 600mm*** telephoto shots. The image stabilisation system and high-end TruePic VII image processor are inherited from Olympus' latest prize-winning OM-D cameras. Together these exclusive technologies effectively ensure you can focus fast and capture excellent images, even in low light.
Smart sharing
The SH-1 has the design to match the chicest tablets and smartphones, and pairs effortlessly with both at a touch of the WiFi button. Olympus' OI.Share app takes the hassle out of setting this up. OI.Share also lets you import stills and movies to a compatible smartphone for easy sharing, and you can even use the phone as a remote control for your camera. You can zoom in, choose focus points and take the shot directly from your mobile – ideal for selfies and easily startled subjects like animals.
> CSCH-120 genuine leather protective body jacket with a luxurious, fashionable look that also improves camera grip. Exclusive to the SH-1.
> CSS-S109LL II genuine leather shoulder strap for a stylish and comfortable way to carry your SH-1.
> CSS-S110LS genuine leather hand strap for an elegant, coordinated look.
Main Features:
> PEN-like design with aluminium alloy body, metal finish and synthetic leather grip
> Wide 24x optical super-tele zoom lens
> Powerful 5-axis image stabilisation system
> Advanced HD Movie recording incl. high speed and time lapse movie, Photo and Movie capture
> WiFi for remote control and sharing via a smartphone using the Olympus Image Share app.
> 3.0" 460k dots LCD touch display with protective panel
* According to Olympus research. As of March 2014.
** Optical image stabilisation is defined by the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) guidelines and includes sensor-shift image stabilization.
*** 35mm equivalent.

The most exciting development to come out of Comic-Con this year? Creator Bryan Lee O'Malley dropping news that Ubisoft Montreal is currently developing a PS3/Xbox 360 downloadable game based on his comic series Scott Pilgrim (above), to be released alongside Edgar Wright's film adaptation -- news of a magnitude that almost nearly canceled out the disappointment of EA's contest calling for systematic and institutionalized harassment of SDCC booth babes for prizes.
Elsewhere on Offworld, we rounded up more of the best films Netflix's Xbox 360 streaming service has to offer, with Zach Galifanakis' dystopian cult comedy Visioneers and more multilayered time-warping and epic human-drama documentary films than you could ever want, and a bonus comedic British invasion.
We also figured out how to get a taste of the PS3 Katamari Damacy remake on display at Comic-Con from the comfort of our living rooms, saw new footage of the giant crab battles and near-avoidance baby violence of 'conjure anything' DS game Scribblenauts and of Gearbox's Mad-Max-ian post-apocalyptic co-op open world shooter Borderlands (which promises '87 bazillion' procedurally generated weapons).
Finally, we saw chiptune punk stars Anamanaguchi plan their U.S. domination summer tour, got the first look at UK indie Mode7's abstract tactical strategy game Frozen Synapse, and our 'one shot's for the day: No More Heroes in 3D 2D pixels, and Noby Noby Boy's essence in just nine words.

mid-15c., from Latin satiatus, past participle of satiare "fill full, satisfy," from satis "enough," from PIE root *sa- "to satisfy" (cf. Gothic saþs "satiated," Old English sæd "satisfied;" see sad). Related: Satiated; satiating.

Missoula Maulers junior hockey team owner Michael Burks filed a lawsuit in District Court earlier this month asking a judge to issue a restraining order against a local man who allegedly said defamatory things about the owner and his team on social media.
Burks filed the lawsuit in response to a May 29 Facebook post allegedly written by Corbin Mock that said, "Booooo Maulers suck major dick and so does Michael Burks incest freak."
In addition to the local hockey team, Burks has many business interests. He owns the Garden of Read'n, a Christian bookstore that periodically promotes music concerts and speakers in Missoula. He also owns Fuel Fitness and Nutrition, a health club chain in Bozeman, Butte and Helena. But it's the success of Burks' freight logistics company, Big Sky Specialized Carriers, that earned him most of his money, as well as a spot on Entrepreneur magazine's Hot 500 list of fastest growing small businesses in 2007.
Burks argues in his lawsuit that the Facebook statement is harming his reputation and that of the Maulers.
"The message is false and … exposes Plaintiffs to hatred, contempt, ridicule or causes Plaintiffs to be shunned and avoided and has a tendency to injure Plaintiffs in their occupation(s)," the complaint argues. "Missoula Maulers has a right to protect its good name and reputation ..."
The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction prohibiting Mock from defaming Burks or the Maulers verbally or in writing.
Burks declined comment through his Helena attorney, Kelton D. Olney.
University of Montana journalism professor emeritus Clem Work, who is also an attorney, says Burks has a valid claim. Work notes that while people often feel free to spout off online, the laws governing defamation still apply.
"It is posted in a forum where opinion runs pretty rampant," Work says. "But that doesn't necessarily protect it just because it's on a Facebook page."
On June 11, Judge Karen Townsend issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting Mock from making future untrue and harmful statements against Burks or the Maulers. A hearing on the case is scheduled for June 30. Burks is requesting Mock pay damages and attorney fees.
"It could be a cautionary tale," Work says.

GRAVES: The tree house that never was
Early lessons on gratitude inform legislative school funding request
Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the modest but well-maintained light blue home in which I lived as a child was not part of the house at all, but the lot. My father was a man with the greenest of thumbs, whose lawn was never blemished with a dandelion (well not for long anyway, given the army of sons he had to attack them at the first blush of yellow, thereby earning him the whispered nickname "lawn Nazi" among his unappreciative brood), whose gardens sprouted a riot of flowers as well as produce, and whose expanses were graced and shaded by five stately elms. It was those elms he valued above all, in part because he had planted them but more because they walled the entire lot with their verdant stateliness.
It is too much to say he loved those trees, I suppose, but his reaction to a woman from the neighborhood who nailed a rummage sale sign to a tree trunk one day could definitely have left you with that impression. It left me skulking from the area out of fear of collateral damage.
And so it was with some astonishment that my friends and brothers reacted to my father's positive response to the idea that I be allowed to build a tree house in one of the elms. He produced a board from the garage to use as the tree house floor. I shook my head; it clearly wasn't big enough. I selected a floor plan about twice that size. He offered the original size once again. I said it was the larger size or nothing.
So our home's elm trees remained tree house-free from that day on, right up until Dutch elm disease ended their arboreal lives. And I learned a lesson more valuable than any tree house.
Which is why I suspect the various K-12 educational lobbying groups are playing a dangerous game this session on the issue of school finance. The law calls for schools to receive a finance formula increase equivalent to the consumer price index, i.e. 1.6 percent. Gov. Dennis Daugaard, conscious of the fact that schools have gone through some difficult times, has recommended 3 percent, almost twice the codified expectation. To which decorum, etiquette and a basic sense of gratefulness would all seem to demand a simple response from educators: "thank you."
Yet some can't quite manage that, or if they do, they sully it with that magic word that refutes everything in a sentence that came before it: but. (As in, "I love you, but … " or "No, that dress doesn't make you look fat, but … ") In this case, we seem to want it both ways. Thank you, governor, but given the fact that the 6.6 percent cut of several years ago placed us in the hole, shouldn't the increase really be more like 3.8 percent?
Perhaps those attempting to skate down this rather treacherous legislative causeway are relying on the fact that the governor has already made his recommendations, and so it is unlikely, even in the face of seeming ingratitude, that he would now reduce the amount from 3 percent. That works, unless you assume that the governor has a memory longer than a single legislative season, that he can't see that providing education extra dollars doesn't result in any reasonable degree of appreciation or good-will and so putting extra money there in the future is politically pointless since the custodians of those dollars are so enchanted by the conjunction "but."
There is, of course, a counter-argument: education is desperately in need of the money and boosting employee salaries and restoring past cuts are so important that gratitude be darned.
Unfortunately, this argument rarely conquers any legislative fortresses, because precisely the same sorts of argument of importance can be made for Medicaid, health care providers, state employees, etc. Additionally, as the governor has pointed out in the past, and as those stubborn things called facts attest, education dollars don't automatically translate into higher student achievement. (Money is the mother's milk of education, but once a certain base is provided, the marginal additional dollar can't be translated 1:1 into any measurable goal of quality. In fact, after the base is provided, the next dollar actually suffers from declining marginal utility. ) Thus, in the lobbies and committee rooms of the Legislature, this argument doesn't necessarily chop much wood.
So faced with a recommended finance formula increase of almost twice what the law calls for, should educators really be committing the difficult-to-forgive political sin of ingratitude?
Sounds like a good way to strike the olive branch from your new champion's hand. Not to mention lose a perfectly good tree house.

Vics cruise to victory
Page Tools
Entertaining hitting exhibitions from Victorians Jon Moss and David Hussey sped the Bushrangers to an eight-wicket bonus-point victory in the ING Cup match against Western Australia at St Kilda cricket ground today.
Chasing WA's 6-247, Victoria took just 36.2 overs to rack up 2-251 and win with 13.4 overs to spare.
Hussey was unbeaten on 75 from 51 balls, with eight fours and three sixes, including an enormous straight hit off the bowling of left-arm spinner Beau Casson, which had to be retrieved from Queens road.
He finished the match by again hitting the ball out of the ground, this time with a pull shot off paceman Darren Wates.
Hodge was also in an aggressive mode, although his unbeaten 40 from 37 balls was tame compared to Hussey's innings.
The pair finished with an unbroken 118-run stand.

One step closer to glory: Dickinson High's Berger, Hutzenbiler make it to finals at state wrestling tourney
Devin Berger couldn't see the win, but he definitely heard it.
Berger — the No. 4 seed — pinned No. 1-seed Grand Forks Red River Sean Murphy in 5 minutes, 29 seconds and punched his ticket to the finals during the North Dakota Class A state tournament on Friday at the Bismarck Civic Center.
"I couldn't see his shoulder on the mat, but I heard my coaches yelling, 'He's pinned. He's pinned,'" Berger said. "Then they called the whistle and that's when I knew."
Dickinson wasn't finished. However, the Midgets had to wait for the weight classes to return to 120, which were the final matches of the semifinals.
The wait was worth it for Dickinson's Austin Hutzenbiler. The 120-pound junior defeated Turtle Mountain's Christopher Longie in an 8-5 decision.
"The wait really got to me," Hutzenbiler said. "I thought I'd be ready, but I was so ready to go after I saw Devin wrestle. I started melting down. I tried to get it back, but I couldn't until late in the third period."
Hearing the whistle signifying Berger reached the finals is a sound he's waited to hear for the last 12 years.
"Honestly, I don't think there's been a better feeling in my life," Berger said. "I've been working 12 years to get to his point. It's been a dream and now it came true."
Not only do Berger and Hutzenbiler share a similarity being the two Dickinson wrestlers to reach the finals, but they know their opponents extremely well.
Berger and Hutzenbiler meet Bismarck St. Mary's Tate Barnhardt and Bismarck High's Kael Knowlen during the finals of the West Region Tournament.
Neither Dickinson wrestler had any luck coming away with a win. Barnhardt pinned Berger in 1:42 and Knowlen defeated Hutzenbiler in a 12-1 major decision.
The loss during the West Region Tournament doesn't bother either of them.
"When you lose or win a match, you leave that match behind and you focus on the next match," Berger said. "At the time, I was a little mad, but now I'm not even worried about. It's a new day, new match and it's the state finals."
Hutzenbiler added: "The first time I met Kael, I beat him. The second time, he beat me. We are both solid wrestlers. If I don't show up, he's winning the match. If he doesn't show up, I'm winning the match. If we both show up, we are going to head-to-head and it's going to be a tough match. I know it could go either way."
Adam Orton, the Midgets first-year co-head coach, said he couldn't be any prouder of his team. The Midgets have two state finalists and are guaranteed nine state placers, which is two more than last year.
"This was one of the best days we've had," Orton said. "I told the kids, 'This could be your last day or second to last day.' They showed how much they really wanted to wrestle. They really want to compete. It's really good to see that. It shows our hard work in the practice room works."
Though Berger and Hutzenbiler were back in the hotel room during the consolation rounds, they were resting. They were on their phones seeing how many state placers the team was going to have.
"You are always concerned about your teammates," Berger said. "We were at the hotel and I just kept refreshing the matches. That was pretty sweet."
Dickinson seniors Chris Sickler (heavyweight), Michael Cherwinski (138), junior Clayton Tangen (152), sophomores Rafael Lopez (170), Jaret Lee (120), Brian Rodriguez (126) and freshman Caden Haugen (113).
State placement matches
Haugen defeated Fargo Davies' Alex Skaare in a major decision 12-4. Lee topped Matthew Schafner of Bismarck St. Mary's for a 13-7 decision. Rodriguez, who is competing in his first year of high school wrestling, pinned Jace Estenson of Devils Lake in 4:46.
Both Lee and Rodriguez are wrestling unattached for the Midgets.
Michael Cherwinski defeated Bismarck's Logan Boese for a 4-3 decision. Lopez pinned Zach Hettwer of Grand Forks Red River in 2:03. Sickler supplied a pin over Fargo North's Cody Berg.

Cuttingsville CSA Looks To Future
09/06/11 7:50AM By Melody Bodette
| Download MP3
(Host) Many farms in Vermont are struggling to clean-up and move forward after the flooding associated with Tropical storm Irene.
Agriculture officials say that many dairy farmers may have to destroy hay and corn crops that were inundated with flood waters.
And vegetable growers are also dealing with the loss of crops.
VPR's Melody Bodette visited one farm in Cuttingsville that lost not only their crops, but also their farmland.
(Bodette) Ryan Wood-Beauchamp and Kara Fitzgerald, both 26-years-old, started Evening Song Farm just a year ago, after moving to Cuttingsville from Pennsylvania.
And it was going well. 50 members had joined their CSA food share, and they were selling at farmers markets and to nearby restaurants.
Now, Wood-Beauchamp looks out over the Mill River, which now runs through his farm.
(Wood-Beauchamp) "There's rocks, river rocks, debris, forest debris, the remains of our greenhouse and that's it. There's no vegetables, there's no soil, there's no subsoil, it's the river that goes through here now."
(Bodette) The couple were evacuated on Sunday with their two goats and a dog:
(Wood-Beauchamp) "We were here when it jumped the banks, the river kept rising and rising, a trickle started going over the berm, right by a field where we grew our garlic and summer squash. And from the point when that first trickle went over, within 15 minutes, there were rapids in our fields and when we saw that we knew that all of our vegetables were going to be gone, and we thought we'd have the opportunity to decide if we wanted to re-invest in our soil and decide if we could make it work again."
(Bodette) When they returned, they found that six of their nine acres of land was gone --- washed down stream. And they knew they needed a new plan to get back in business:
(Wood-Beauchamp) "It won't be on this land. I don't think this land will ever be farmland again in our lifetime."
(Bodette) Wood-Beauchamp says CSA members, neighbors, friends, and perfect strangers have come by to offer help. And Kara Fitzgerald says they plan to channel that support into something new.
(Fitzgerald) "We're going to have a beach party and treasure hunt next week to dig out our tractor implements, and Ryan and I are getting jobs in town to keep ourselves afloat, and we're trying to figure out where we're going to grow next year."
(Bodette) The white farmhouse and red barn which sit above the fields and are safe.
Inside the barn, volunteers are cleaning and bagging garlic, harvested before the storm, for an upcoming garlic festival.
Also safe are racks of onion, and crates of ripe tomatoes headed out to local restaurants.
A neighbor has offered greenhouse space and they're looking for land to lease. Fitzgerald says Cuttingsville turns out to be one of the best places to lose your farm. And she's grateful to the community, but she's still tired and confused:
(Fitzgerald) "You can't actually get worse than this, you can't. There's no land. I know a lot of people we've talked to and I've even seen pictures are like, the waters will recede, we'll come help you, we'll bring our excavators, we'll re-divert the river, but it's not, going to change. The public property, the river, just eminent-domained my farm, and no one paid me for it, so I'm sort of pissed, but I don't think there's anything insurance can do. We just talked to our insurance company and they're so apologetic, they want to help us, but there's nothing they can do."
(Bodette) On the newly formed banks of the Mill River, she says they're out of tears, and can talk about their loss. And now they're looking to the future.
For VPR News, I'm Melody Bodette in Cuttingsville.

The chairman of Colonial First State Investments, one of the country's largest fund managers, has thrown her support behind quotas for female directors, saying she is dismayed by the low number of women in senior executive roles and on the boards of large companies.
Ms Ward is one of four women on the six member CFSI board, which oversees the $50 billion First Choice platform. The group has a 10-person executive team, of which three are women.
Earlier this month veteran investment banker Peter Hunt called for legally enforceable quotas. Although all major business groups want to increase the number of women on boards, few business leaders support quotas because of a fear of finding enough qualified directors.
"When we have the same number of incompetent women directors on companies' [boards] as we have incompetent male directors we will be approaching equality," Ms Ward told an American Chamber of Commerce event in Melbourne.
At Qantas Superannuation, which Ms Ward also chairs, she is one of two women, from five company-appointed directors.
Five more men, but no women, are member-appointed directors. The $6 billion fund's five-person senior executive team has two women including chief executive Jane Perry.
The treasurer of Women in Finance and partner at Moore Stephens, Sharon Burke, said despite the diversity initiatives, there was still work to be done. She said it was "common" to see women in executive and board roles but they were "still in the minority".
More flexible working practices could stem the loss of female talent, Ms Burke said.
But Ms Ward said gender inequality was frustrating because many companies were taking such steps to address the problem.
Despite in-house diversity councils, "soft targets" for female executive representation, and mentoring and career acceleration programs "progress is still glacial".
Ms Ward said putting in place "enforceable" targets would increase the numbers of female directors and executives.
The former lawyer suggested remuneration should be linked to managers achieving gender targets and recruiters should be required, "not encouraged", to return candidate shortlists that are 50 per cent female.
"Many companies have some form of targets, but they need to be hard targets, they need to be ambitious and they need to be enforced," she said.
Ms Ward said greater leadership was needed. "I wonder if our lack of progress in getting more women into senior roles is really a failure of leadership," she said.
"Our business leaders, and they are mostly male . . . need to outline the business case for greater female representation in senior ranks."

CIRENCESTER triathlete Jenny Manners guided Alison Patrick to victory in the World Paratri Championships at Hawrelak Park, Edmonton in Canada on Saturday night.
It was the second world title for Manners – with two different partners.
In 2011 she accompanied another visually impaired athlete Charlotte Ellis to victory in the Beijing World Championships, before taking the European title the following year.
Eliis has now retired from the sport and in only their fourth major international competition together Patrick, 26, and Manners upset the form book by beating the pre-race favourites in the PT5 category, Melissa Reid, also of GB, and Spain's Susanna Rodriguez.
Patrick and Manners had never previously beaten either Reid or Rodriquez but the duo got it gloriously right on the day, recording a personal best time for the 750-metre swim, 20.4km bike and 5km run of 1hr 09min 49sec.
They were virtually neck and neck with their main rivals heading out on the final run element but proved by far the stronger pairing to beat Reid by 20 seconds with Rodriquez a further minute and a half behind.
It amounts to a changing of the guard at the head of the sport and Manners and the rapidly improving Patrick will now be greatly encouraged as they build up to the Rio Olympics in 2016.
Victory completed a magnificent season for Manners, a member of Cirencester AC and Performance Cycles in Poulton. And she celebrated her 24th birthday last weekend while completing her final preparations in Canada.
As an individual triathlete she finished the 2014 British Triathlon Super Series in third place. In the final open event which counted towards that competition, the British Elite Sprint Triathlon Championships in Liverpool, she went head to head with eventual winner Gwen Jorgensen of the States, who confirmed her status as the World No.1 in Edmonton by taking the Elite Women's World title.
Manners has this year also had to juggle her academic studies, completing her Masters Degree at Loughborough University.

One of the most fetching of Fisher's early Hammer movies, the third in the trilogy which comprises The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula. Its qualities are almost entirely abstract and visual, with colour essential to its muted, subtle imagery. Christopher Lee looks tremendous in the title role, smashing his way through doorways and erupting from green, dream-like quagmires in really awe-isnpiring fashion. Yvonne Furneaux plays one of Fisher's most crucial heroines, Isobel Banning, who has let her hair down (literally) and become sensual in order to free her husband (Cushing) from the curse he invokes by opening an Egyptian tomb.

DP's ex has told him she has cancer.(463 Posts)
Been with DP for around a year now, he split with his ex about a year before we met. She's had issues letting go, and has made things quite difficult for us. That said, I wish her no ill, and have met her at events a few times, as we work in the same sort of business. She doesn't know we're a couple.
A few weeks ago she told him that she been to the doctor, told she had cancer and that she needed chemo. This week she has told him the three sessions of chemo haven't done anything, that its too far gone for surgery and that she is now terminal.
DP is understandably upset - they were together for a long time, and as much as he is happier not being with her, he still cares about her. He's going to see her tomorrow night to find out exactly what is going on.
I don't really know what to say to him. I don't know how to be there for him without appearing to be interfering, because I don't know her very well, and don't want to appear like I'm suspicious or anything when I ask how she is.
Has anyone got any advice or suggestions as to how to deal with this?
(Have namechanged, by the way, as am quite identifiable from my normal screen name, and want to preserve both of their privacy.)
You seem to be molly coddling both of these people with the strange dynamics to the point of ridiculousness.
The dynamics are all wrong here. You've been together 1 year. You are his DP. Yet, it is you that hasn't even told him that you are undergoing tests, and it is her who has told him of her 'diagnosis'.
Why didn't you tell him? Why isn't he asking, if he knows the stuff that has led up to you getting the tests in the first place?
Why hasn't he told her he's moved on? A year - doesn't matter how unstable, she should have known.
Why are you tolerating him 'going to see her'??? Why is he doing it?
Fair to burden HIM!
Is this a man you are talking about or a 3 year old?
I'm sure that's how it must look. But we have a very strong relationship. Like I said, this is just a very difficult situation, and I'm not sure how to handle it.
I feel sorry for her, I guess. She hasn't had an easy time of it, and obviously has some mental health issues.
I'm concerned about how I will look because of my own issues. And also I just don't want to add more stress / worry / confusion for DP right now.
"Goes to see her maybe once every few months after she has guilt tripped him enough."
I don´t get that tbh.
Maybe I´m odd, but I have never made an effort to keep in touch with exes.
Been polite when seen each other but that´s it.
Certainly wouldn´t dream of phoning or travelling an hour.
Jesus Christ Woman are you a door mat or a martyr?
Lougle, he knows the situation with my health right now. I'm waiting to see two different specialists, one at the end of the month, and one still waiting for an appointment for. The second appointment will be an operation.
Maybe I am molly coddling him, you may have a point there. I am just concerned for his emotional well being. I feel upset after finding out what she has said, and I hardly know the woman, so can't imagine how he must be feeling.
He's coming over tonight, so I may well discuss how I feel with regard to telling him about my own health.
I'm tolerating him going to see her because I don't own him, and meet up with exes who are still friends myself. I also think that if she is telling the truth, she needs someone to lean on right now. I feel secure enough in our relationship not to worry about that being threatening.
I'd like to think I'm neither, Phoenix. Just concerned for my DP, struggling with my own issues, and trying not to rock the boat any more than it already is.
Your DP relationship with his ex sounds completely inappropriate, without the cancer entering the situation. Why has this not been an issue?
I'd have rocked the boat long ago OP.
"And if I do that, WhereYouLeftIt, and she dies? How exactly does that make me look? And can you imagine how that would make him feel towards me? It would make me look heartless, malicious, a liar, and just down right cruel."
I think you need to start considering the 99.9% likely scenario. If you don't tell him, and she's lying; he will eventually realise that she's lying because she doesn't die (although I'd be waiting for the miraculous recovery to occur). He will be devastated. And how will you look to him then, when he finds out that you knew she had a history of this behaviour, suspected her of doing it again, but still didn't tell him?
Yes, you are mollycoddling him. Is his emotional wellbeing so very fragile that you believe this to be necessary? Why does your emotional wellbeing deserve so much less than his? And, frankly, hers?
If you have tip-toed round the relationship with DP and manipulative ex then this is not the time to make a stand imo. Better wait it out and see how her illness (or not) progresses but make sure DP knows about your health problems and assume he will give support. I wouldn't worry about DP, when people have awful diagnoses you just have to get on with it and help where you can.
Because things were actually going okay until she told him she had cancer. He had told her he was seeing people, she'd started to accept it, and he was going to tell her we were together.
Maybe my own mental health experience makes me overly accepting, but I do understand his concern for her, as much as it does piss me off at times.
"He had told her he was seeing people, she'd started to accept it, and he was going to tell her we were together."
But in all honesty, her illness-or not, doesn´t affect that.
If she has cancer, will he stop seeing you??!!
I think it´s odd that he has been with you a year & not told her tbh.
He's slap bang in the middle of two adoring females isn't he.
Why on earth doesn't she know that he has a new partner if they split up 2 years ago. This seems to me very strange indeed. Don't know what to suggest now. Doesn't seem to be any point in upsetting her further at this difficult time by telling her.
Maybe tomorrow he'll find out exactly what she has to say (and I do think that a tiny bit of him at least must be suspicious, and that's mainly why he's going), and I guess I'll just have to take it from there.
No, he won't stop seeing me if she is ill, of course not.
Luminous, I was diagnosed with breast cancer almost exactly a year ago. Let me just tell you about my timeline for diagnosis and treatment.
Late October 2011 - Saw GP who confirmed a palpable lump in my right breast and referred me to the hospital under the 2 week rule.
09 November 2011 - Hospital appointment. I first had a mammogram and sonargram. Half an hour later I was seeing the surgeon who did a needle aspiration biopsy. We were sent off to have a coffee and to return in an hour for the results. There were cancerous cells in the sample. Half an hour after receiving that news I left hospital with an appointment for a mastectomy in 11 days time.
Please note that at this point the only thing that had been confirmed is that the lump was cancerous but not how advanced it might be nor whether or not it had spread.
22 November 2011 - Mastectomy. In addition to the whole of my right breast they also removed 2 lymph nodes to check if the cancer had spread.
07 December 2011 - Follow up appointment with the surgeon. At this point she was able to tell me that there had been two tumours - one ductal and one lobular. One was classed as Stage 2 and the other as Stage 3. The good news was that the lymph nodes were clear and that there was no evidence of vascular invasion. It was therefore believed that the surgery had removed all of the cancer. Because the tumours were aggressive and were both hormone and HER2+ my case was at this point referred to the oncology department to determine what further treatment should be given.
22 December 2011 - First appointment with the oncologist. I was advised that the recommendation was that I should receive chemotherapy, radiotherapy, Herceptin and be put on a 5 year course of Arimidex.
17 January 2012 - First chemotherapy treatment. I received the FEC regime which meant that I had a treatment every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. My last chemotherapy treatment was on 3rd May.
24 May 2012 - Start Arimidex.
28 May 2012 - First radiotherapy treatment. I had 15 sessions and completed this on 15th June.
13th July 2012 - First Herceptin treatment.
Please note that it was only after the mastectomy and the thorough analysis of all the tissue removed that they were able to tell me the extent of the cancer and the probable prognosis.
Unless part of your DP's ex's early tests included some sort of scan which showed metastases elsewhere in her body then I simply do NOT believe what she is saying. If she did have such a scan and there were mestatases, I still believe they would have removed the primary tumour and she would have had a mastectomy. If the chemotherapy was intended to cure (as opposed to simply be palliative, i.e. to control the disease but not to cure it) I very much doubt they would change the prognosis after only 3 sessions of chemo. If the chemo was always intended to be palliative this would have been explained to her before treatment started.
The long and the short of it is that I don't believe what she is saying.
Are you sure its really finished,that hes not spinning you a line.Its all very suspect,hes putting her welfare before yous that not good.
I think you need to have a heart to heart and lay it all on the line,he mightnt like what you got to say but whats the alternative.
Zombie, I do hope you're doing okay now
Thank you for your insight. Would you mind if I possibly showed your post to DP, depending on what she says to him tomorrow?
OP, you really need to tell your dp about any results on your side. Imagine how you would feel if you dp hadn't told you he was unwell and how unwell he was. I am sure you would have wanted to support him, even if you were in a difficult situation yourself. The same goes for you dp.
Tbh illness doesn't usually wait and take turns. It's hard for the people involved but you are likely to hurt him more by not telling him than by sharing the Issue with him.
Also be careful not take on everyone else problems and brush yours under the carpet. You deserve as much.support as your dp's ex.
Re the ex, I think that your dp ringing her parents, the Macmillan nurses etc is spot on. If she needs then he will have supported her. If it's a lie, it will be exposed.
I completely understand your position if the cancer is terminal though. I would do the same.
I'm shuffling along, Luminous. That's what we Zombies do.
Because the mastectomy appeared to have removed the existing cancer, everything else is just to make sure that there were no stray nasty cells floating around my body looking for somewhere else to take root. My prognosis is excellent and I just have to shuffle on dealing with the side effects of the treatment.
Please do show it to him. I wrote it so you and he would have a first hand account of how the system works.
Lumi, stop berating yourself for being 'overly accepting' or for being pissed off. That is normal in you situation, unfortunately for you she is being very manipulative.
Best wishes, Zombie, what a year for you!
Luminous yes you should definitely tell him. You are his partner, he should be giving you support right now. The ex obviously has all sorts of issues which complicate matters but you two are a couple and he has chosen NOT to be with her. She needs to be told that too. This situation could go on for a long time and you would be stuck in a no-mans land of indecision and not wanting to hurt other people's feeling when you could be the one suffering and needing support the most!
I will suggest to him contacting both her parents and Macmillian. At best it will get her the support she needs; at worst, catch her out.
Thanks Zombie, I'm glad your prognosis is good. x
Drizzle, thank you. And Escape, you are right, it doesn't take turns. He currently has man flu so is telling everyone about his illness

The EU's new proposed emissions plan is out, and it's a good deal for European biofuel producers. The EU is looking to pass laws ensuring that biofuels for transportation emit 35 percent less carbon than fossil fuels. That's perfect for the European biofuel industry: It already uses mostly rapeseed (that's canola to you Yankees) oil, which yields carbon reduction levels of about 37 percent. American corn ethanol, by contrast, provides only about a 22-percent carbon reduction.
The EU is also looking to levy punitive tariffs on U.S. biofuels imports (certain U.S. biofuels exporters currently get tax credits from Washington). Back in 2003, the EU itself gave tax breaks to oil companies that bought biofuels to mix with their regular fuels. The emissions plan released today comes as concern grows that unchecked biofuel production can do more environmental damage than good.
One example of unchecked production is the biofuel industry in Southeast Asia, where rain forests have been clear-cut for the production of palm oil biofuel. The EU's proposed plan would ban the importation of biofuels derived from rain forest plantations that were established after 2003.
Amid all of these biofuel regulations, the EU is seriously looking to up its consumption of biofuels. The Commission now wants a 10 percent share of transport fuels to be biofuels by 2020. This is good news for the European biofuel industry which recently fell on some hard times. And startups pursuing high-efficiency ethanol, either in cellulose, algae, will get a boost from this expansion.

And thus begins the midterm panic of '14:
— The Associated Press (@AP) March 11, 2014
BREAKING: Republican David Jolly wins Fla. congressional special election in test race over health care.
This seat was previously held by a long-serving Republican, but Barack Obama carried it twice, the Republican nominee was far from flawless, and the Democratic nominee enjoyed a wide name ID advantage from her gubernatorial run. Many experts saw this race as Alex Sink's to lose. She ran on a "fix, don't repeal, Obamacare" platform. She lost. Break out the tea leaves:
Looks like Jolly's night. If Dems couldn't win an Obama CD with a solid candidate against a flawed R, expect a rough November.
— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) March 11, 2014
It's way GOP held FL13 that is so troublesome for Dems. Flawed underfunded cand wins, propped up by outside money aimed at health care
— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) March 11, 2014
Tale of the tape: Dems outspent Republicans in #FL13, and had clear field for their candidate. O won 50%, Sink 46% http://t.co/OEdKmgeNjN
— Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) March 12, 2014
Yes, FL-13 will be over-interpreted like most specials, but tonite Rs have to feel pretty good about picking UP seats in Nov.
— Larry Sabato (@LarrySabato) March 12, 2014
Tonight, it's the Democrats with all the expectations to meet. That's because they have more questions to answer this year, about their ability to message around Obamacare and Social Security, and make the case against Republicans in a district with divided tendencies. Democrats won't have candidates as seasoned or well-funded as Alex Sink everywhere. And they know privately at least that they're looking at a dismal 2014 if they can't win districts like this one.
Bless your heart. MT @DWStweets: The GOP underperformed tonight in the #FL13 - a district they've held for decades.

Zynga appears to have wasted the $200m it was understood to have paid last year for OMGPop – with the Draw Something maker's New York office being reportedly shut down as part of the restructuring announced this week.
It had already written down the March 2012 acquisition by around $90m last October as the drawing game's popularity waned. Zynga is laying off 18 per cent of its global workforce – around 520 people – as it tries to shift the focus of its business away from Facebook to mobile games. One alleged victim of the cuts has been sounding off on Reddit over the past few hours about his experience at Zynga's San Francisco headquarters. Read more

He dropped out of school and worked as a butcher in the town of Nutley; her mother worked as a substitute teacher.
Whether she would have Nutley or not—well, that was uncertain.
You're a change from what sometimes does seem a little dull—life at Nutley.
Mark Wellgood of Nutley had a bugbear, an evil thing to which he gave the name of sentimentality.
Nutley meant both a comfort and a status beyond her reasonable hopes.
Vivien's been in the town and is going to call for me here, and I'm going to walk with her as far as Nutley gates—at least.
The station lay on the other side of Meriton, two miles and a half from Nutley.
"Oh, poor Nutley would soon recover from the blow," she said.
I shall get her things from Nutley directly after breakfast and bring them here.
The news of tea and tennis at Nutley, of dinner at Halton, induced a new note.

Obama is fixing our relationships in Europe and the East. This week he traveled to the Caribbean,and Latin America. Can he fix our relations with Haiti, Cuba and South America.
The Presidents Travels in the America's was historic for a number of reasons.
First let us remember that Bush and the forty thieves burned down our relationships with our friends in the East like Europe and calling the leader of North Korea a short pygmy, killing the Korean unification efforts, and insulting all Asians. The Republican ugly American image did not help us east of the Atlantic, nor did it help us on this side of the ocean. Bush and the wicked Witch of the West (Dr. Rice) attacked Haiti and Venezuela and generally was an anti-humanist force in South America.
In following the President's travels this week, I got the distinct feeling that a new deal is in the air in the America's. The President opened his hand to Cuba and they reached back. Even the President of Venezuela, who called Bush the devil when he was at the UN gave President Obama a book and shook his hand.
In Obama's first hundred days he put in place phase one of the New America. His domestic policy is mapped out and transparency is in place (recovery.gov). His foreign policy for the East, as talked about in the campaign, is activated with few surprises. I submit for your consideration, that the big surprise has been his foreign policy impact on Latin America. I think this is were our President has the greatest potential for foreign policy success. Making our most natural geographic friends, our neighbors, our friends once again. What do you think?

You know, I have to chime in here... but of the lists I've been on (sans
the fvwm list in the last couple of years), this is one of the LEAST
inactive lists I've been on in a while. I am shocked that anyone would
be bothered by the volume of the list, especially given that the subject
line is modified in a predictable to assist filtering.
The only mailing list I've seen integrate well with a forum is the
mythtv lists. I don't know how they do it, or the service they use, but
it works.
I'd like to point out that besides the freebsd 6 prize money, this is
also the most active thread in a while, which is kinda sad given that it
claims the lists are active enough to require a forum. If this list goes
to a forum, I think it'd be a waste of energy.

Australia's property stocks have kicked off the year more strongly than many imagined.
Many expected the real estate investment trusts (REITs), which had a boom 2012, to lag behind the recovery in broader equities, as happened in the end of the year, when the appetite for more risky cyclical stocks increased.
But last week, the S&P/ASX Property 300 outperformed the wider market with a rise of more than 1.5 per cent. If sustained, the run-up would strengthen the sector, certainly for more buying and development, and possibly for further mergers and acquisitions.
Merrill Lynch analyst Simon Garing estimates that the Australian REITs have another $14 billion worth of acquisition and development firepower, just by gearing up to the top of what are relatively conservative gearing ranges.
Mr Garing said growth in the sector would be underpinned by the outlook for continued low interest rates in the US; by the fall in Australian deposit rates, which has forced investors to look elsewhere for yield; and by the potential for earnings upgrades driven by accretive investments.
"The growth will not be rental growth, it will be acquisition growth," he said.
The $24 billion
The group has climbed steadily for over a year as investors accepted the potential in the new lower capital, higher return Westfield model.
The $5.3 billion
And the Westfield-managed single property vehicle, the $400 million
The head of Morgan Stanley's Australian property team, Lou Pirenc, said the REITs remained well underpinned because the yields were well above benchmark levels.
"But the outperformance will be more subdued than in 2012," he said. "The REITs don't look as cheap against equities as they did."
(The relatively high yield on Australian real commercial real estate is a key reason for the strong foreign direct investment in the sector, according to a paper released last Friday by ANZ Research.)
Mr Pirenc said other factors helping REIT pricing were the potential for a rise in underlying valuations and for sector consolidation.
GPT Group's bid for the
But not all analysts believe the sector has many more strategic synergies to be unlocked.
Mr Pirenc said the best performing stocks in 2013 would be those with superior earnings growth.
