Google Avoids Paying $1.6 Billion USD In Taxes, UK PM Speaks Out

David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK, said that companies like Google are immorally minimizing tax bills
Google has managed to skip paying about $1.6 billion USD (£1 billion)
in taxes
by way of the island Bermuda -- and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom isn't happy.
Google sent £6 billion through Bermuda over the course of last year, which halved its 2011 tax bill. In fact, Google funneled 80 percent of its global revenue through the island and ended up paying about £1 billion less to the government.
Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said this "is called capitalism."
"We pay lots of taxes; we pay them in the legally prescribed ways," said Schmidt. "I am very proud of the structure that we set up. We did it based on the incentives that the governments offered us to operate."
David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK, said that companies like Google are immorally minimizing tax bills and need to be stopped. He even wrote a letter to fellow leaders of the G8 requesting a global crackdown on tax avoidance for large companies such as Google and Starbucks.
"I do believe we all have a common interest in being able to tell our taxpayers who work hard and pay their fair share of taxes that we will make sure others do the same," wrote Cameron in an open letter to the G8.
Google's UK Head Matt Brittin said politicians are the ones who set tax rates, and that Google is playing by their rules.
Google funneled £2.6 billion of British revenue through Bermuda, which cut its UK tax bill by £200 million.
In April of last year, it was reported that
Apple made $9.5 billion USD
in Britain for 2011, but only paid 0.16 percent in taxes. Amazon was also targeted for its
headquarters in the tiny European Union nation of Luxembourg and Google's placement in
Ireland with subsidiaries in the Caribbean and Luxembourg for more tax dodging gains.
The New York Times
blamed Apple for dodging billions in taxes
in a lengthy article last year.

WASHINGTON--Despite claims the country is wiping away 30 years of red ink, the national debt continues to grow. While politicians of both parties take credit for a budget "surplus," the national debt has grown by over $110 billion ($110,639,535,002.46) so far in fiscal year 1998. With one day remaining in the fiscal year, this year's debt will be greater than last year's, continuing a streak that dates back to 1960.
"The growing national debt is an unwelcome guest at today's surplus party," said Concord Coalition National Policy Director Robert L. Bixby. "But, politicians who energetically boast about surpluses today will have a difficult time explaining to their constituents in a few years why they need to raise the debt limit."
Many people understandably wonder how the national debt can continue to increase when the government claims to be running a surplus. The answer lies in the fact that most politicians are referring to the "unified" budget, which lumps together all revenue and all spending from both federal funds and trust funds--like Social Security.
The projections of "unified" budget surpluses assume continued borrowing in excess of $100 billion annually from the Social Security and other federal trust funds. Social Security's surpluses have been credited to the program's trust fund and the money has been loaned back to the Treasury to help defray the costs of other government spending. For as long as this practice continues, the national debt will rise--even as the President and Congress take credit for creating a new era of budget surpluses.
"Concord continues to emphasize that without using funds earmarked for Social Security, there is no budget surplus," said Bixby. "It is inconsistent for Congress to say that Social Security is 'off-budget' while at the same time using the Social Security surplus to pay for tax cuts or new spending."
The Concord Coalition is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization seeking to eliminate federal budget deficits and ensure that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are secure for all generations. Concord was founded in 1992 by the late former Senator Paul Tsongas (D-Mass.), former Senator Warren Rudman (R-N.H.), and former Secretary of Commerce Peter Peterson. Former Senator Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) was named a co-chair of the Coalition in 1997.

Elbow: Medial Tendonosis
—Vlasof | Rock And Ice Forum
You take pain with the valor of a freedom fighter! (Or are they peace keepers? Depends on which side you're on, I suppose.) And I like your persistence.
There are variations on medial epicondylosis. The same muscles or biomechanics are not always involved. Hence the exercises and angles can be quite different. Are you doing both the pronator teres and flexor carpi ulnaris exercises? Have you tried changing the elbow angle to better target the painful area?
Cortisone may temporarily placate the condition (or not) and will certainly further feed the rapacious pharmaceutical industry. Long-term use is not recommended for many reasons, including that it is not a solution.
I have never actually referred someone for surgery for this condition (assuming the diagnosis is correct). I only know two people who have actually had surgery. Both regretted the decision—the first because he subsequently saw me for his other elbow and my program provided a safer and faster solution, and the second person because the surgeon inadvertently (and irreparably) sliced through the ulna nerve, causing more weakness than death itself. At least after dying you would have the benefit of rigor mortis.

MLB to host showcase for Draft-eligible Puerto Rican players
Major League Baseball will host a three-day showcase for Draft-eligible Puerto Rican players at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan from Friday, January 24th through Sunday, January 26th. The pre-Draft showcase marks the first of its kind in Puerto Rico.
The showcase in San Juan will consist of four teams made up of players from different regions across Puerto Rico. The event will begin late in the afternoon on Friday, January 24th with a pro-style workout, followed by doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday.
Major League Baseball has previously hosted post-Draft showcases in Puerto Rico in 2012 and 2013 in which undrafted amateur players were given the chance to play for Major League scouts, resulting in the signings of several players. This year's showcase is the first time that Major League Baseball will give scouts an opportunity to observe the area's top amateur talent prior to Baseball's annual First-Year Player Draft in June.
More information, including a roster of participating players, will be available in the coming days.

Vulpine television veteran Basil Brush will be making a special appearance at the Rose Theatre in Kingston to celebrate a special needs school's 60th anniversary this month.
St Philip's School in Chessington will mark its diamond anniversary with the aptly-named Diamonds show, which is being held on Thursday, June 12, at the Kingston town centre venue.
As well as featuring song and dance routines from St Philip's students, everyone's favourite bushy-tailed raconteur will literally be on hand to entertain the crowds with his trademark wit, punctuated by his famous catchphrase "Boom Boom!".
He will be joined on stage by Christopher Pizzey, who played Mr Stephen in Basil's last television series The Basil Brush Show.
Closing the night will be Surrey rockers The Outcasts, who will be performing some classic rock and roll hits from the 1950's and 60's.
The show has been organised by the Friends of St Philip's School, and treasurer Tony Hardy said: "St Philip's School caters for secondary age children with special educational needs and the Diamonds show gives many students an unforgettable opportunity to appear on a major theatre stage.
"Putting on a show on this scale is a major undertaking and support from the general public is really important to help cover costs."
Tickets for St Philip's School Diamonds show cost £10 each and can be bought from the Rose Theatre box office.
Visit the Rose Theatre website or call 08444 821 556 for more information.

North Platte boys' basketball coach Matt Kaminski was excited for the season to start and on Friday, his team confirmed his optimism by slashing Lincoln High 64-39 at the Dawg House.
"Defense is one thing we focus on and it was a team effort tonight," said Kaminski. "We did a good job of containing their guards."
NPHS scored the first six points of the game with Bradey Anderson and Luke Wright scoring the first two baskets, followed by a pair of made free throws by Drew Callaghan.
Lincoln High answered back with a run of six and tied the game nearly three minutes in on a layup by KeShawn Wilson.
But after that it was all Dawgs. North Platte took a 12-7 lead with a layup by Kade Erickson two minutes later. Then Wright and Callaghan followed with layups to make it 18-7 with a minute and a half left in the first quarter.
Jason Towery scored the last basket of the first for the Links to make it 18-9 at the end of the first. But the second quarter began with Erickson making three three-pointers to push the lead to 27-9 and the rout was on.
The lead was 20 at halftime and 30 at the end of the third quarter. Lincoln High, who is perenially one of Class A's top teams but lost all five starters from last year, scored 21 points in the fourth against the Bulldog reserves to finish the game.
"We shot the ball well and that always helps," Kaminski said. "We got the ball inside too and we had some good inside looks."
On Saturday, NPHS plays again in the Dawg House, facing 1-0 Hastings, who Kaminski feels has improved tremendously this year.
"I think they're a well-coached, defensive-minded team," said Kaminski of the Tigers. "They're going to get after it no matter what the score is."

Escovedo in no rush after burying ghosts
Updated 2:16 pm, Wednesday, February 6, 2013
Alejandro Escovedo started the year burying old ghosts and rediscovering forgotten gems.
His four-hour concert at Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater in Austin on Jan. 12 (originally scheduled for Dec. 29) offered a star-studded, multimedia 30-song retrospective of his career.
So it's a refreshed Escovedo and the revamped Sensitive Boys who roll into Gruene Hall on Friday for a full-bore electrified rock show with opener Amy Cook.
Escovedo, 62, is in a good place. He chalks it up to pulling off the ambitious Moody Theater concert.
"It was a funny feeling because it was so much work and we put so much into it, learned so many songs," Escovedo said.
Entertainment Channel
"After it was all said and done, I was very happy with the performance and the way that everybody conducted themselves. It was really a great night."
Part one of the Moody Theater concert was broadcast last Sunday on Sirius XM Satellite Radio's The Spectrum (channel 28). Part two airs on The Spectrum on Sunday from 9-11 a.m.
In retrospect, Escovedo acknowledged the Springsteen-esque length might have taken things "a little too far." He also never plans to repeat it.
More Information
In concert
Alejandro Escovedo and the Sensitive Boys, with Amy Cook opening, 8 p.m. Friday, Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Road, New Braunfels. $15; go to www.gruenehall.com
"Other than that, I felt like I found new things in going through all of the songs, I kind of discovered old songs I hadn't done in a long time, and now we're doing them again," he said. "But there's also a lot of stuff that I don't need to be doing anymore."
The slate is suddenly clean. He sounds like a free man.
"I don't really have a direction right now, you know that. For the first time in my life, I kind of feel like I've got some space and time to just relax and kind of write at my own speed, without any agenda at all," Escovedo explained.
He has talked to record producers about trying new approaches (Escovedo has made the last three albums with legendary producer Tony Visconti). His latest record is "Big Station."
"I'm not in a rush to make a record. I'll tell you that."

Dudamel conducts Brahms' Second
Last Modified:
Gustavo Dudamel, conductor
Glorious Percussion, percussion (except Friday)
About This Performance
This performance is part of Brahms Unbound, May 5 - June 5 at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
After many years spent writing his First Symphony, Brahms was able to compose his Second quickly, in the summer of 1877. Even with moments of solemnity and darkness, the Symphony's overall effect is radiant and bucolic. The Second is the only one of the four symphonies to employ a tuba along with its three trombones.
The first movement is enormous by any standard. The second (slow) movement is complex and chromatic, beautiful, and serious. The third movement is moderately paced "scherzo substitute" (like that of the First Symphony), and the shortest movement in all his symphonies. The finale is joyous and extroverted and may well be the composer's most satisfying conclusion. The work remains an audience favorite.

A PEMBROKESHIRE bakery has risen from the ashes to be in the running for the title of Britain's best bakery.
The Welsh Bakery, which has branches in Haverfordwest and Milford Haven, and a bake-house on the Thornton Industrial Estate, will be appearing on the ITV1 show Britain's Best Bakery.
Run by father and son team Brian and Rob Davies, the family business suffered a blow last summer when a fire devastated its Haverfordwest shop.
On top of renovating the shop, the pair have had a busy year, attending the Pembrokeshire County Show, running a weekly stall at Haverfordwest Farmers' Market, and being filmed for the second series of the ITV1 show.
As well as being visited by TV crews, the duo also travelled to 'bakery HQ' in England for a series of culinary challenges.
The first task was to create a 'speciality bake' – a unique product that "tells the story of that bakery and represents their region". For this, Brian and Rob decided to celebrate their Welsh roots and create Dragon bread - a fiery loaf made with chilli, coriander and coconut.
Using coconut, mango, vanilla and shortcrust pastry, the pair also came up with the exotically-named Preseli Tropical Tart as their offering for the 'wild card bake'.
The final challenge saw bakers go head-to-head to make a baker's dozen of calzones. All following the same method, the task was designed to see how individual bakers would put their own 'stamp' on the Italian treat.
"It was quite strange having a camera in your face and having to do 15 different shots of everything," said bakery co-owner Rob.
"Me and dad were both quite relaxed, and all the staff got into the spirit of it, despite being nervous."
Between them, Brian and Rob have 70 years of experience, and Rob said the pair wouldn't have entered the competition if they didn't want to win.
But, he said he had been sworn to secrecy over the over the result.
Scrutinising their creations were judges and baking experts Mich Turner and Peter Sidwell.
To find out how Brian, Rob and the team got on, watch Britain's Best Bakery on ITV1 this Wednesday (tomorrow) at 4pm.

Sounds like you need to research different port scanning techniques and better ways to find exploits. Try limiting your port scans to only a few different ports at the same time. Pick some popular ones. And as for finding exploits... there's no real quick and dirty way that's super effective. Just gotta look through all the major websites out there that list them.
As for unpatched Windows 7 machines, I don't believe there are any exploits out there that can cause remote code execution from outside the machine. The last one that I know of was MS07-something. Remote code executions under Windows 7 probably have to be executed from a booby trapped file.

About the Book
For about 5 years it was all digital. Megapixels, L series, photoshop, the newest equipment, edited every single photo, and just about every headache associated with digital. I hadn't shot a single roll of film in that time. I had forgotten the feeling of not knowing what your photo looked like the moment you shot it. Forgotten the feeling that if you got your measurements wrong the photo might actually look better! Then with the find of a used Pentax 67 at a local camera shop a new journey began. With the purchase of my new found Medium Format camera ( that was priorly owned by legendary surf photographer Joe Curren) I set out on one of the most exciting years of my young photography career. This book is actually a span of about 5 months of shooting film during the winter swell season of 2011/2012. I hope you enjoy this past season has much as I did.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Each off to solid early starts in the 2011 campaign, both the Saint Leo men's and women's cross country teams have earned places in the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) South Region Polls, it was announced Tuesday.
The men maintained their preseason 10th-place ranking thanks to impressive team times at the Early Bird Classic and the University of South Florida Invitational.
Overall, Florida Tech owns the top spot in the region, jumping eight spots from last week's region list. In total, four Sunshine State Conference teams rank in the top-10.
The women, on the other hand, went from not being ranked in the preseason to obtaining the highest placement for the squad in program history, seventh. The Lions jumped over the likes of Palm Beach Atlantic, Alabama-Huntsville, and SSC foe Florida Tech.
Both Lions' teams will return to the course on Saturday, September 24, when they head to Gainesville, Fla. to compete in the Mountain Dew Invitational. The women will begin the meet at 8:00 a.m. For the latest news, information, and updates on the men's and women's cross country team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Did you know?
The discovery of an 83.5 carat diamond on the farm Vooruitzicht owned by the De Beers brothers, sparked off the world's greatest diamond rush ever. The stone came to be known as the Star of South Africa.
Head for the Kimberley Africana Library in Kimberley for one of the finest collections of Africana in the world – or even just a peek back in time, as the library is kept similar to the way it was 100 years ago, complete with leather chairs and wooden ladders to reach the upper shelves. The library houses about 14 000 books, 640 manuscripts and 12 000 photographs.
Included in the collection are early printed editions of African indigenous languages (San, Tswana, Zulu, Xhosa), early books related to diamond mining and records dating back to the first diamond rush in the 1870s, newspapers from the 1870s and books by early European travellers in the region, and books and maps from the South African War (also known as the Anglo-Boer War).
An intriguing collection of photographs is also available for viewing at the Kimberley Africana Library, featuring early diamond discoveries, the South African War, the social history of the inhabitants of southern Africa, the Siege of Kimberley and Northern Cape architecture.
The librarians, headed by Shirley James, who has been in the Kimberley library services for many years, are highly professional, well informed and helpful. 'We get plenty of researchers, authors, journalists and academics from all over the world,' James explains. 'It is best to phone a week or more in advance so that we can prepare for you, and present you with all the information that interests you on your arrival.'
Spontaneous visits are also accommodated, though.
The library has a wonderful atmosphere, which you will absorb as you sit in the gracious old reading rooms.
The original building was opened on 23 July, 1887 as Kimberley's first public library. It was the product of the new wealth of South Africa, which came about after the discovery of diamonds in Kimberley in 1871.
The library was restored and refurbished between 1984 and 1986 as an exclusively Africana research library, open to all researchers.

My earliest food memories involve salsa in every form. Hot, not-so-hot, chunky, cooked, raw, you name it – if it could be made, we ate it. This version, usually called pico de gallo or salsa fresca, is a raw salsa made from ripe tomatoes, onions, garlic, jalapeños, lots of freshly chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice and a dash of salt.
It is a versatile condiment, one I'm pretty sure I've eaten on just about every food imaginable during my lifetime. Nothing is as good as scooping a freshly fried and salted corn chip into pico de gallo, but this salsa isn't just for snacking. I kick up the garlic and use it over grilled fish, sprinkle it over kebabs and tuck it inside tacos made with sizzling fajitas. It's also a fantastic filling for the hollowed-out half of an avocado.
But why stop there? You could easily put this salsa in a blender for a smooth consistency or even into a skillet with a bit of oil; this makes the perfect base for huevos rancheros and it's excellent when cooked and served over pork chops.
You needn't be a stickler over proportions with this recipe, taste along the way and adjust to your liking. And while I love cilantro, some people just can't stand the stuff. That's fine, omit it completely or add chopped parsley, green onions, whatever you like. Just make sure to have those chips handy!
Basic Salsa Fresca
2 cups chopped and seeded tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 to 1 white onion, chopped (amount depends on your personal preference)
1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped, seeds are just fine!
A pinch of sea salt to taste
A tiny pinch of cumin, optional
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, loosely packed
- Combine all ingredients into a large bowl. If not enjoying immediately, cover and refrigerate. Giving the salsa an hour or two to develop its flavors always helps!

WANDERERS boss Gareth Ainsworth said the ghost of his side's last match at Adams Park - which led to them being on the verge of relegation - has been laid to rest with the performances at the start of the new campaign.
The last time Blues were on home soil saw one of Adams Park's blackest-ever days, as Bristol Rovers beat them to send them into the Football League's bottom two and needing a miracle to stay up.
Wanderers did manage to pull off the great escape on the final day, but Ainsworth has since said that avoiding relegation wasn't an achievement worth celebrating.
It's been all change over the summer and the Blues manager said the players he brought in during the close season have brought with them a change in attitude, application and effort.
And he said those changes mean fans, players and staff should now be looking forward rather than dwelling on the past.
Ainsworth said after seeing the new-look Wanderers brush Carlisle aside 3-1: "I know what you can get with effort. I wasn't a great player but effort was there in abundance. I think the boys are starting to understand this.
"Some of the players who were here last year have been crying out for these characters to come in and match them with their work rate.
"They'll keep doing that for us. It's a world away from last year but it was nice to put the Bristol Rovers game to bed today."
He added: "There are tired legs out there, which is what I want. I want people to be shattered when they come off that pitch.
"We had a really tough week with the Millwall game. To see a performance like that, the effort is fabulous for me to see."

The myth has been around for long enough now. "Football is business," proclaimed The Independent when the Glazers took over at Man Utd. "The Football Business" runs the title of a book by David Conn of The Guardian. There are even university courses about the link between football and business.
Maybe it was true once, but since the arrival of Roman Abramovich, followed by the Glazers, Randy Lerner, Thaksin Shinawatra, George Gillett, Tom Hicks and many and various others, football has become little more than a rich person's playground.
According to one estimate, Abramovich has spent at least £600m on Chelsea since he arrived in 2003. He and Randy Lerner at Aston Villa are held up as the ideal type of foreign owner, for, as David Conn puts it rather euphemistically in the Guardian "investing" millions in their clubs. But this is not an investment. As Abramovich shows, this is spending with little hope of return, at least financially. Perhaps there might be some returns in terms of status or prestige, but financially, football no longer pays.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The No.18-ranked Saint Leo men's tennis team (13-5, 2-3 SSC) took down the No.23-ranked Florida Southern College Moccasins, 7-2, in Sunshine State Conference action Thursday afternoon from the Saint Leo Tennis Center.
"We played solid today, said Head Coach James Bryce. "We had a good start at doubles and kept that momentum rolling into singles action."
The Lions used a 2-1 doubles performance, in addition to wins out of their top four singles players, to put away the rival Mocs.
Finishing in order, the Lions No.8-ranked doubles tandem of Matt Nicholson-Lewis and Victor Lozier bounced Marevic and Gutierrez, 8-3. After falling at No.2 doubles, the Lions No.3-flight pair of Aloua Adjenak and Jake Fleischer dusted Leavitt and Vladimir Barabash, 8-4.
In singles, the Lions rallied-off four consecutive wins to secure the match. The No.28-ranked Lozier opened the session with a consecutive sets win over Marevic, 6-1, 6-4. Nicholson-Lewis followed up with a 6-3, 6-3 win at No.2 singles, while Jacobo Gonzalez-Torres solidified the match with 6-4, 6-2 win at No.4 singles.
Adjenak battled from a set down to take his match in three sets, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, at the top-flight spot. Fleischer echoed Adjenak's efforts with a three-set super tiebreak win of his own at No.5 singles, 4-6, 6-2, 10-6.
The Lions will return to action on Saturday, March 31, as they host regional foe New Orleans. Doubles is set to begin at 10 a.m. from the Saint Leo Tennis Center.

The most recent WSOPC Tunica visit was in late January, with the stop expected to be removed or replaced on the tour's 2014-15 slate.

Dry roast the sesame seeds in a skillet over a high flame until most of the water from rinsing the seeds has evaporated. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Reduce the flame to medium-low and continue roasting the seeds until they pop and release a nutty aroma. To test if seeds are done, take a metal spoon and fill it with the roasted seeds. Dump the seeds out of the spoon back into the skillet. If seeds do not stick to the spoon, they are done. If seeds stick to the spoon, continue roasting. Check every few seconds with the spoon until done.
Place the roasted seeds into a food processor and grind until crushed. Add all other ingredients and puree until smooth and creamy. Pour into a serving bowl.

1) From what I've seen, this preseason has been disjointed, undisciplined and inconclusive. The Rangers have not played particularly well in any of the three games, and their best players have certainly not stood out for the most part. Maybe that's just me.
2) As far as Michael Del Zotto, the bubble defenseman with what I still believe is the most upside of any of the young D-men, here's my two cents: The Rangers (a.k.a. John Tortorella and Mike Sullivan) need to figure out how to unleash him. He can't be this afraid to make a mistake and still be effective. I think of when Mark Messier first arrived and convinced Brian Leetch (and later Sergei Zubov) to not be afraid to make a mistake, and how both careers took off. I'm not saying Del Zotto is Leetch or Zubov. I'm saying he will not even be an above-average player of he's afraid to take a risk, afraid to let his instincts carry his game. He can't play on one side of an imaginary line and be a factor on the other side. Maybe The Captain should have a chat with MDZ.
3) When the Rangers have six healthy defensemen, their D's not bad. In fact it has a chance to be pretty good. Without Marc Staal, and now maybe without Mike Sauer, and this year without a third pair, that D looks pretty questionable at best. And when do you remember Ryan McMonster making a play like he made last night, trying to stick-handle around Jaromir Jagr, of all people?
4) And on top of that, there should be prayers that neither McMonster or Sauer has a Del Zotto-like sophomore slump.
5) That game is why Sean Avery is worth keeping around … if he can play fourth-line minutes and accept being scratched sometimes and not be a distraction or a ticking time bomb.
6) Credit where it's due: Larry Brooks tweeted in the first period, and I paraphrase, "Why would anybody agree to play a preseason game against the Flyers?" Great question. Why would you? What can be possibly gained?
7) Thought the president/GM was pretty funny at the podium at Citizens Bank Park, didn't you? He's always been better when he lets his real personality out. He's a sharp, sarcastic, quick-witted guy.
8) Good to see NHL Network going the same-old, same-old route with Barry Melrose. God, how many lives does this clown have? And Kevin Weekes, man, he's a good guy and I think potentially a very good analyst. But like almost every other former athlete, he should never be allowed to conduct an interview. I can't think of one former athlete in any sport who can.
9) I first-guessed not having Dylan McIlrath in the lineup in that funhouse. I mean, what's he going to get out of a game in Europe? This game would have been better for him, and better for the Rangers.
10) They should stick a mic on Brian Boyle every night.
11) Everybody's chirping about how tough Brendan Shanahan's going to be as NHL sheriff, and I agree. But I'm not giving him any credit for suspending guys for preseason games. Let's see how tough he'll be when he starts taking away paychecks.

Taste Test: Canned Chicken Noodle Soupby Dana Angelo White in Taste Test, March 18, 2010
I stopped eating canned soups years ago because, really, who needed all that sodium? Nowadays, there are many low-sodium varieties and they can be handy when you need a fast fix. We tested some of the most popular chicken noodle soups — see how they ranked.
Soups On!
We'll be honest — homemade is the only way to go, but sometimes you need a convenient pick. For consistency, we tested low- or reduced-sodium varieties of plain old chicken noodle soup. Each was scored from 1 through 5 (5 being the highest) based on flavor, ingredients and nutrition info. We paid especially close attention to the sodium amounts. The daily recommendation for sodium is 2,300 milligrams (and more like 1,500 milligrams per day if you have high blood pressure). That means a soup with 470 milligrams of sodium contains about 20% of the daily recommendation (or 30% if your target is 1,500).
Prices ranged from $1.25 to $1.50 per serving. All cans indicated that they served "about 2" but ranged in size from 14.5 to 18.5 ounces, so the bigger cans give you a bit more for your money.
Campbell's Chunky Healthy Request Chicken Noodle
Rating: 2
Nutrition Info (per 1 cup serving): 120 calories; 2.5 grams fat; 410 milligrams sodium
Our Take: While it looked very appetizing, the flavor didn't deliver. "Blech" was how one of our tasters described it. The long list of ingredients was also a turn off — what exactly is an "enriched egg white noodle product"?
Progresso Reduced Sodium Chicken Noodle
Rating: 3
Nutrition Info (per 1 cup serving): 90 calories; 2 grams fat; 470 milligrams sodium
Our Take: Like the previous one, this soup looked tasty too. The noodles were nice and firm, but it was bland — not enough chicken flavor going on. You might be able to use this as a base and boost it with added veggies or chicken chunks.
Muir Glen Organic Reduced Sodium Chicken Soup
Rating: 4
Nutrition Info (per 1 cup serving): 90 calories; 2 grams fat; 470 milligrams sodium
Our Take: This is your best bet for a canned chicken soup — it has nice big chunks of chicken and veggies. While it was kind of boring in the flavor department, overall it was the favorite.
Campbell's Select Harvest Healthy Request Chicken With Whole Grain Pasta
Rating: 2.5
Nutrition Info (per 1 cup serving): 100 calories; 2 grams fat; 410 milligrams sodium
Our Take: Here's another one from Campbell's. We appreciated the addition of whole grains but it wasn't enough to like this soup. The veggie and chicken chunks were on the small side and there was an unpleasant tangy flavor that we couldn't quite figure out. The ingredient list indicated that it contains a small amount of milk, which might make it a no-no for those with allergies.
Health Valley No Salt Added Organic Chicken Noodle
Rating: 3.5
Nutrition Info (per 1 cup serving): 80 calories; 2.5 grams fat; 135 milligrams sodium
Our Take: We had to check this one out because it had a third of the sodium the others contain. Like the rest, it was on the bland side, but surprisingly didn't taste much different than some of the other saltier brands. It's made with lots of organic veggies, but the first ingredient is water — the other soups are made mostly from chicken broth.
Quick Tip: Canned soups can be helpful in a pinch but, honestly, nothing beats homemade — plus, then you can control the amount of salt. Make a big pot of homemade stock and prep batches of homemade soups to store in the freezer for when you need a convenient dinner choice.
TELL US: What's your favorite canned soup? Any other flavors of soup you'd like us to taste test?

Alberta Master's Championship
Another memorable weekend of Masters Cricket was played at scenic Victoria Park on August 6/7 --- Calgary v Edmonton. After heavy downpours overnight and sustained lightning and thunder activity, it did not appear as if the much-anticipated Alberta initiation of a brand new turf wicket at VP would be possible. But, happily, the skies cleared out and the temps warmed up considerably to make for a great day's cricket.
Chris James, immediate past president of Cricket Alberta, was honored for being the driving force behind the conversion to turf wicket at the venue. It is a significant accomplishment in that it will now make Alberta a choice venue when national and international events are scheduled in Toronto. Currently, all international matches are assigned to Toronto, which now holds a decidedly unfair advantage over the rest of the country. In his honor, Chris was given a brand new white cricket ball signed by the masters of both cities as well as the opportunity to captain Calgary on the field and he did not disappoint.
Game 1:
Calgary's Innings:
It was another clean sweep by the hosts. But winning is secondary when the game is played for its traditional values and where respect for opponents, umpires and everyone else is valued. Edmonton won the toss and sent the visitors in. Calgary were given a solid start by openers Jonathan Bray and Trevor DeFreitas, who put on a 56-run partnership. Bray was the first wicket to fall, attempting a pull shot to wicket which saw the ball clipping the top of his off stump. DeFreitas fell shortly after, but not before becoming the first man to score a fifty on the new wicket. Sohail Abdullah came in at number 3, but his stay was brief, departing without scoring. Chris James was next man in.
The cameras were on when the cricketing icon walked to the crease. He played well during his 30-minute stay, blocking the good ones and attempting to punish the loose ones, but a little rust impeded that ambition until he played right across the line and was bowled by Ryan Rahaman who maintained a steady line and length on or just outside off stump.
One of Alberta's great batting maestros of the past 35 plus years, Paul St. Rose, came in at 6 and immediately showed flashes of brilliance, reminiscent of the halcyon, glory days of past decades, treating spectators to timely blasts sailing high into the trees at the mid-wicket and long-on boundaries, coupled with a rock-solid defense. He was unbeaten on 54, when the 10th wicket fell, in helping Calgary post a respectable target of 167.
Edmonton's Innings:
Ryan Rahaman and Sammy Naicken opened Edmonton's innings and set the tone for the rest of the afternoon from the get-go, taking 16 off the first over, most of it coming off Rahaman's blade. Rahaman relished the conditions, patiently waiting for anything loose. He thoughtfully carved the mediocre Calgary bowling to all parts of the ground, retiring on 101. By reaching a century, Rahaman became the first man to achieve that lofty and momentous milestone on the new wicket. Naicken, too, earlier, had retired to allow his mates to have a taste of the strip, a magnanimous gesture for which the Masters is well known. The crowd was treated to a cameo from George Robinson who played a stylish innings of 20 not out. Edmonton won the first match with relative ease, as the great Steve Dutchin remained undefeated on 13 during a brief stay at the crease.
Game 2:
Edmonton's Innings:
The host won the toss for the second day in a row and elected to bat first on a mostly sunny morning. Ted Brown and Bryn Whittaker opened and put on 48 before Bryn nicked one to the keeper and walked, one the umpire had missed. Ted batted brilliantly, putting some huge slogs right on top of the clubhouse, ending the day on an aggressive 66. Steve came in to bat at number three. He began watchfully and once he got his eyes in, he made Calgary toil.
Any ball that was short or too full got its deserved treatment into the distances and over the trees. He was dropped on 32 at the long off boundary off the bowling of spinner Ron Saywack. Like all great batsmen, they make you pay. Steve reached the highest score, and second century, of the series (104) before retiring. Edmonton set Calgary a mammoth target of 279 in their allotted 40 overs.
Calgary's Innings:
DeFreitas and Bray opened again for Calgary and put on 32 for the first wicket. After a long day in the sun, they were zapped of energy and it showed. Trevor was bowled for 16. Art Alfonso came in at 3 but departed shortly thereafter, looking completely out of form. After he fell, Rodney Gooray came in to team up with Sohail who came at 4. Their partnership gave Calgary hope as they authoritatively struck the ball to all parts for sixes and fours. Gooray was given out run out by the square-leg umpire under dubious circumstances for 27. That dismissal effectively ended Calgary's hope.
Sohail continued his mastery of the Edmonton bowlers until he blasted one right up the throat of the man on the long-on fence, who did not make a mistake, for a swashbuckling 74. St. Rose, who had earlier suffered a painful blow to his left hand whilst fielding, was unable to bat at his customary number 6. When he did make it out to the crease, the result was all but academic. Vijay Mutto was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 5/33 .
Edmonton retained the Masters Trophy in convincing fashion.
1 Trevor Defreitas scored the first fifty;
2 Ryan Rahaman scored the first hundred –101;
3 Steve Dutchin scored the highest runs –104
4 Vijay Mutto claimed the first five-for.

"The bride to be selected a classic, long, white menu to place in the napkins. Navy printing. Wonderful black and white engagement photo on the back. The quality is superb. The text and images are exquisite. As the mother of the groom, I appreciated the customer service. The text would not fit online, but I made a note about what I needed the menu to say and the designers had a proof ready in a day. I used live chat when I had questions. Fast, courteous service, helpful editing. Very accessible. I ordered 10 to test the product and then 220 when the bride to be LOVED them. Highly recommend."
"We used WPD for our wedding invitations and received lots of compliments. So it was an easy decision to use them for all our other paper needs. The menu looked very elegant in the Pearl Shimmer addition and the font went perfect with our romantic theme. Unfortunately, I made an error on the back of the menu and WPD graciously and quickly offered to reprint the correct version at no additional cost. They even rushed the order. I love working with WPD!"
"Loved this modern and fresh theme so much we decided to get everything available in it printed! The paper is thick and textured, easy to change font style and size and the free design consult is worth the short extra time!"
"We personalized this by using blues/navy colors, by removing 1 of the courses (we're only having 3 courses, but there is room for 4 on the menu if needed), by doing rounded edges which I think adds to the slightly more informal modern look, and adding a 'save room for wedding cake' note on the back. I'm really looking forward to adding this to our table display."
"We purchased the gold color for our reception. The photos do not do this justice at all - I highly recommend getting the free sample if you are on the fence...it will make your mind up for you! Impressive paper quality, excellent customization options. We were initially not going to do a menu, but we're all so glad that we did! Adds just a touch of subtle elegance to the table."

Team Red Cross is looking to exceed its achievements from last year, where 50 runners collectively raised more than £15,000 for the charity.
One previous Red Cross runner said: "What an amazing experience from start to finish! It was such a welcoming, fantastic and heart warming atmosphere."
BRC added that by running for them, you will be helping people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are.
Participants will receive support including training plans and nutritional advice, a fundraising pack to help you reach your sponsorship target and professional one-to-one help.
The race, which returned after a 10 year absence in 2012, is said to have one of the flattest courses in the world, making it ideal for first time runners.

"Today is the first day! Open enrollment! Yay!"
That was a cheer from Valerie Myers, a representative from Independence Blue Cross, the region's largest insurer, as she handed out brochures to people at Philadelphia's bustling Suburban Station Tuesday. Many commuters were puzzled by her excitement.
"It's the so-called Obamacare that comes out today? Or yesterday?" said 21-year-old Justin Davis, en route to work.
Myers was, in fact, referring to the health care marketplaces that opened in Pennsylvania and across the U.S. Tuesday. A mainstay of the Affordable Care Act, it's intended as an online site where people can compare and shop for health plans. Independence Blue Cross, one of the main insurers offering marketplace plans in Philadelphia, has been an aggressive promoter.
"This is not explained very well, the average person will never get it," said Nancy Barrett, who stopped to get some Blue Cross information for her uninsured daughter.
Reactions from other busy commuters ranged from unfazed to uncaring.
"I don't see that I need it [insurance] at this time," said 45-year-old William Addison, a bartender sitting on a bench nearby. "Maybe when I get a better job, I could probably think about it at that time."
Glitches everywhere
While Myers continued passing out brochures, Kristie Glazer sat in front of her computer in South Philadelphia, eagerly preparing to log on to www.healthcare.gov to see what options might be available to her and her husband. The time was about 8 a.m. when the site was scheduled to go up.
"I'm on the website, I'm hitting apply now," Glazer said. The page then refreshed with this message, which she relayed: "The system is down at the moment and working to resolve it as soon as possible and to please try again later."
Glazer wasn't alone, with the site jamming for many people.
Officials respond
Obama administration officials remained doggedly optimistic about opening day of the Affordable Care Act insurance marketplaces.
"I think that's pointing to the volume and the excitement," said Nancy O'Connor, regional administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
For those unable to log in and shop, O'Connor said there's a website to find local, in-person help.
During an afternoon phone call, CMS administrator Marilyn Tavenner said she also heard reports that people had trouble logging in and creating accounts.
Despite the reports of glitches and delays, she urged reporters not to lose site of the historic nature of the feat.
The administration "added capacity and made some adjustments" throughout the day, she said.
Federal health officials say website traffic tripled for the healthcare.gov site. But those numbers are only for the general portal — not a count of the people who actually logged on and applied for health coverage.
Officials say there were some successes on Day One, but they are not ready to release enrollment numbers by state.
Anticipating an appetite for more information, and the ability to comparison shop, late Monday, the website administrators added links for shoppers who want to browse prices.
Agencies focused on assisting people in signing up had mixed responses to the glitches, but weren't surprised.
Clinic plows ahead
The computer setback didn't hold back application assistants at Rising Sun Health Center in North Philadelphia.
"There were some slowdowns, which was expected. So what we did is we printed out the paper versions of the enrollment forms," said Melissa Fox, director of health services at Rising Sun and its partner clinics. "So we're ready. Whoever comes in, we can still get them enrolled and have their applications filled out."
The paper application, however, involves more steps, including a one- to two-week waiting period, after which applicants receive information about plans and prices by mail. Elizabeth Rosario, an application assistant, had hoped that by 10 a.m. she could help people log onto the site. But she had no such luck.
"We went through the whole step of creating user name and password and at the confirmation process ... boom. Shut us down," she said, laughing. "We were like, I'm sorry, today is Oct. 1. Unfortunately the system is bombarded."
The center, like many others throughout the country treating predominantly underinsured and uninsured patients, has been gearing up for this day, but has also been unsure whether many would show up to sign up.
"We had people lined up when we got here," said Fox. By midafternoon, the center had reported helping 50 people complete applications.
Carmen Santiago stopped in to sign up and said she's excited about the prospects of finally having affordable coverage.
"Because I have diabetes, it seems that insurance seems to go up, and we can't afford to pay for it," said Santiago. "I haven't seen the doctor for a while ... they want me to check on my diabetes, I haven't gotten blood work in maybe three or four years."
Editor's Note: The audio postcard above features voices of reporter Elana Gordon, Valerie Myers, a representative from Independence Blue Cross, as well transit riders Allison Hines, Justin Davis, William Addison, Tina Snyder, Ben Balance and Nancy Barrett.

AM3+ Mobos - chipsets and what you really need?
I need to source a board for an FX build (either a 4170, 4300 or 6300, not sure yet) and I see there's the usual dizzying range of options from bargain boards (760G) through midrange (970) and higher-end (990).
From what Google can tell me, 760G is a bodged older chipset and should be avoided unless money is super-tight (and it sort-of is).
It seems 990 really only offers benefits for high-end builds with multiple GPUs (not interesting in that) - £110+ for a mobo is a scary prospect really.
There seems to be a lot of negativity towards Gigabyte, Biostar (generally) and Asrock boards when it comes to overclocking due to lack of cooling/power issues - and people seem to think that overclocking these chips is pretty much a no-brainer so you should get a board which supports it?
Any recommendations or tips or debunks for that lot?
Also - is there really any reason to get a 6/8 core chip if all you're doing is general desktop work and some gaming?]
990's too unspecific since there is more than one chipset with that number in it.
You'd generally want to go with a 900-series chipset. Earlier chipsets should work, if the motherboard vendor has updated the BIOS, but it's older stuff that was released with Phenom IIs and such in mind. You'll also want to pay attention to the CPU TDP supported, and perhaps the number of VRMs and what sort of heatsink they're cooled by.
A 6-core chip may make sense for gaming. A few games are beginning to take advantage of more than 4 cores... only gradually though. But the price gap from 4 to 6 cores is pretty small.

It's tiny - <£25 in some cases - tho I don't know if the extra cores are traded-off against each core being less powerful!?
All the 'cheap' bundles and PCs seem to use 760G boards but the price diff. to a 970 board isn't huge so if it offers anything I'd go for it. All this stuff about VRMs and power phases makes my eyes throb tho, everyone seems to think that board X is crap and board Y is good them someone turns that around 2 posts later!
People then talk of OCing just some cores (presumably to keep the heat down?) and I've long since nodded off - I'm tempted just to get either a Asrock (I've had good experiences despite their cheapness) or MSI (same) and hang-the-sense of it.
Most people seem to say Asus make the best boards tho - new territory for me that.
Bottom line - won't be my PC so something which needs loads of cooling and tweaking will be a pain-in-the-arse - tempted to just to stick a 6-core in and leave it stock or just mildly OCed frankly.

p.s. A quick peek at Scan and Overclockers OCed bundles (I figure if they pre-overclock and need to support that they should be using a reliable combo) shows that Scan put the 4300 into an older Gigabyte 760G board but the 6300 into an Asus 990X board - wheras Overclockers use a Gigabyte 970 board for the 4300 (and a Sabertooth 990X for the 6300)
That's for chips pre-OCed to 4.4ghz which is a decent step-up?
A mild overclock is often enough. There are diminishing returns anyway. Plus it's easy to overclock a little but difficult to overclock right to the limit.
4.4 GHz is pretty good, you'd usually only be getting a little bit more than that.

I'd say get the cheapest 9-series motherboard you can find. If you have specific needs in connection types like X many SATA ports or something, then get the variant closest to your needs.
Unless you want to overclock, then check reviews of that particular board and what they say about overclocking ability.
And I say 9-series mostly because then you'd most likely have a board being compatible with stuff for longer compared to 7-series.

Shoppers at an IKEA in Toronto were shocked to find a monkey wearing a winter coat on the loose in the parking lot.
The primate caused quite a stir, and became a social media sensation, before it was captured by security Sunday afternoon, the CBC reported.
According to the Toronto Star, the monkey somehow escaped from a crate inside a car parked at the store.
Shoppers described the 7-month-old monkey as "agitated," and it is now in the custody of animal services.
According to CP24, the monkey's owner was fined $240 for having a prohibited animal.

Ask HE: How Much Salt is Too Much?by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, June 9, 2010
Heavily-salted foods are on the chopping block all over the country. Some of the world's largest food companies are slashing the salt content of their foods, and a new study says salt reduction can help your health. But is all salt bad?
Q: Should I be cutting all the salt out of my diet? How much is too much?
A: You want salt…. you need salt….. but check your diet to make sure you're not going overboard, especially if you have high blood pressure.
Salt is a valuable flavor enhancer and electrolyte that your body needs for muscle function, fluid balance, and nervous system health. Despite the need for some salt in the diet, many Americans go (way) overboard with diets that are too high in processed and prepared foods.
The daily recommendation for sodium is 2300 milligrams a day for a healthy adult –- that's equal to about 1 teaspoon. Since too much sodium can aggravate high blood pressure and kidney disease, people that suffer from these conditions should cap their salt intake to 1500 milligrams or less per day. Despite these recommendations, many Americans take in closer to 4700 milligrams per day!
So where does the majority of the salt in American's diets come from? Processed and prepared foods make up close to 80 percent. So, it's not the extra sprinkle from the salt shaker or the pinches of salt used in home cooking – those only contribute to 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Check out the Center for Science in the Public Interest's list of worst offenders – steer clear of those foods and use our tips below to keep your salt intake in check.
Tips for Shaking the Salt Habit:
- Read labels carefully
- Cut back on processed foods, especially canned soups and prepared frozen entrees
- Cut back on take-out and restaurant foods – 1 to 2 times a week at the most
- If you use canned foods, choose low sodium and no salt added versions
- Measure out those "pinches" and "dashes" of salt while you're cooking — you'll know just how much you're adding.
