Poll: Another cricket selection quandary
Should Australia have picked its 'best' one-day team for this match, instead of sending some players to India early?
- Yes. Cricket Australia has an obligation to local fans
- No. Let's be realistic. The series is won and the Indian Test tour is so important

An obligation to local fans?? You have to be joking if you think that Cricket Australia cares about the fans!
They will still charge full price for tickets (which are about 50% too expensive however you look at them) regardless of who is playing.
Also when a game is finished early, there never seems to be any compensation to fans either, in the form of a partial refund, or even a demonstration 20/20 or the like.
Money grubbing bastards.

Andy - it's not a question of 'what else is there to watch'. It's a question of making sure that the Australian players have acclimatised to Indian conditions well before the 1st test. My point is that the end of this ODI series is too close to the start of the Indian tour and hence why a load of players have already gone to India.
God help the Australian team if Clarke et al had played the 5th ODI against WI, then lost the 1st Test in India, and then blamed the fact that they had little time to prepare.
The media would tear them to shreds!!

Two men were arrested following a police chase which ended when they were spotted hiding in trees.
Police attempted to stop the men at 5.35 this morning when they were spotted driving a silver Subaru Legacy and acting suspiciously on Colton Lane End in Tadcaster.
When the car failed to stop, it was chased along the A64 towards York until it was abandoned near some bushes on the eastbound slip road at Askham/A1036.
A police helicopter was called in to help search for the men, and they were spotted hiding in some bushes with their dogs around 400m from the car.
They ran off across fields when they were found, but were pursued and arrested after a short chase.
The men, one aged 24 from Barnsley, and a 24-year-old man from Liversedge in West Yorkshire, are currently in police custody being questioned on suspicion of possession of a stolen motor vehicle, failing to stop for police and dangerous driving.

The "Hi-Lo" or "High-Low" dress is kind of my latest obsession. With it's high hem in the front and low hem in the back (hence the name), it's really an eye-catching style. As you can see, they come in all kinds of colors and prints. You may eve find a skirt here or there. This really is a "love em' or hate'em" kind of dress. So, what do you think?

North Carolina Republican Larry Pittman is back to doing what he does best–sending rabidly anti-choice emails. This time, he is accusing reproductive health care provider Planned Parenthood of "murder for hire."
State Rep. Larry Pittman (R) had a strong reaction to a recent email from Planned Parenthood that appealed state legislators not to cut funding to the organization. Pittman responded to the email, which was sent to each member of the NC House of Representatives Health and Human Services Appropriations committee at the end of May, with allegations that Planned Parenthood is a "murderous organization":
PITTMAN: [Planned Parenthood] is a murderous organization…getting wealthy on murder for hire. It deals out nothing but deception, death, personal devastation, and moral degradation. Never will I agree to give that bloody, indecent, immoral organization one penny. I will not be satisfied until it is outlawed.
The latest diatribe was provoked by a plea from the provider to the state to not cut its budget, but last time Pittman went on a "murder" rampage, it didn't take an event associated with reproductive health to set him off. Ed Kilgore named Pittman "Wingnut of the Week" back at the beginning of the year.
I've decided the inaugural honoree has to be Rep. Larry Pittman of North Carolina, who spoke for many righteous (or self-righteous) people in calling for a return to public hangings. Apparently angered by a public letter from a death row inmate boasting of his continuing ability to live and breathe, Pittman said in an email to his colleagues:
If murderers (and I would include abortionists, rapists, and kidnappers, as well) are actually executed, it will at least have the deterrent effect upon them. For my money, we should go back to public hangings, which would be more of a deterrent to others, as well.
Well, that's nice, and a real contribution, BTW, to the debate over abortion policy. Why mess with harassment of abortion providers when you can just string them up in front of cheering crowds, eh?
Pittman admits that he may have gone too far back in January–he should have just emailed the person to whom he was responding, not done a "reply all," he said–but this time he has no apologies.
"My sources tell me that 75 percent of [Planned Parenthood's] income comes through abortions," Pittman told the Independent Tribune in an email. "To say that they would try to reduce the incidence of abortion is like saying a baker would go around trying to get people to stop eating bread."
It's unclear who Pittman's "sources" might be in this case. Usually, when it comes to "sources," the data is a mishmash thrown together by groups like LiveAction, as was the case in 2011 when a Florida lawmaker claimed 37 percent of Planned Parenthood's income comes from abortion, a claim Politifact rated "False." But LiveAction's numbers currently say that the number is closer to 14 percent of their income.
Maybe he's trying to use their "Less than 25% of Planned Parenthood's Revenue Comes From Paying, Non-Abortion Customers" statement? Or, more likely, he goes to the Jon Kyle school of data, and this wasn't meant to be a factual statement at all.

SOUTH Gloucestershire Council has paid tribute to an anti-racism campaigner who died at the weekend.
Batook Pandya, the director of Bristol-based Stand Against Racism and Inequality (SARI), died on Sunday aged 67.
Mr Pandya, originally from Kenya but who moved to the UK as a teenager in 1963, is credited with as a leading campaigner against racism and discrimination in the region.
Paying tribute, South Gloucestershire Council leader Cllr John Calway (Con, Longwell Green), said: "We are all saddened to learn of Batook's sudden death.
"He was a tireless campaigner who was very highly respected. He was a fierce advocate for equality and brought people over to his point of view with reasoned, balanced debate and good humour.
"His invaluable work in South Gloucestershire with 'Race Forward', the Equalities Forum and his own charity SARI will be missed, but his legacy will carry on through those organisations. "Our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time."
Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Constabulary, Nick Gargan, said: "The sudden death of Batook Pandya over the weekend is a great loss to Bristol and we in Avon and Somerset police will greatly miss him.
"For more than a quarter of a century he has led SARI's work supporting victims of hate crime.
"His work brought him close to local police, helping us find ways of improving our service to victims of hate crime – and sometimes telling us uncomfortable truths.
"His openness about his own experiences and his honesty meant he had an enduring impact on our police officers and staff."
He added: "The vibrant and diverse city that Bristol has become owes a lot to Batook and we will work to keep it that way."
Before starting work with SARI when it was established in 1988, Mr Pandya was an engineer at British Aerospace.
He was awarded an MBE and an honorary doctorate by the University of Bristol for his work across communities in the city.
In a statement, his family said: "He was an amazing dad, an incredible granddad and a real family man whilst also being a tower of strength for Bristol and the many communities he served.
"He succeeded at all that he did. He was undefeated by so many challenges. He was tireless in his passions. He succeeded at all his ventures.
"We cannot imagine life without him now he has left the room. Bristol won't be the same but we intend to do all we can to continue with his legacy."

Bust of St. John the Baptist
about 1480
Benedetto da Maiano, Italian (Florence), 1442-1497
Painted terracotta, height 45.1 cm
Genre: European Art, Sculpture
Location: Dutch Room
Accession Number: S21w1
The flowing curls and calm dignity suggest that this might be a portrait of a young man. However, the animal skin under the tunic identifies the figure as John the Baptist. His lips are parted as though ready to speak – an immediacy heightened by the naturalistic colors of his face and garments.
Analysis of this work has revealed that it was repainted four or five times in its history. These alterations testify to changes in taste. For example, in the early 19th century, it was entirely coated in dark paint flecked with brass particles, in an attempt to imitate the appearance of bronze. The paint layers we now see, although modern, approximate the original naturalistic coloring of the figure.
Between 2007 and 2010, Gardner conservators undertook detailed study and conservation of three of the Gardner's terracotta sculptures: Virgin Adoring the Child, Matteo Civitali, ca. 1480; Bust of St. John the Baptist, Benedetto da Maiano, ca. 1480; and Entombment of Christ, Giovanni Minelli (recently reattributed to Giovanni de Fondulis), ca. 1483-87, in addition to thirteen 19th-century paintings in the Gardner Museum's collection. Funded by the Sherman Fairchild Foundation, this work focused on the analysis of paint and elemental constituents of the terracotta as well as treatment, which provided new insights into the sculptures' composition and condition. For example, research revealed that the works by Civitali and de Fondulis preserve much of their original 15th-century paint, while Benedetto da Maiano's Bust of St. John the Baptist has been over-painted several times—including once with a thick layer of black paint mixed with a combination of ground copper and brass metal leaf that was applied to make it appear as though the bust was made of bronze. Analysis also revealed new information about the method of modeling the figures, which were all done by hand as indicated by the visible took marks, the selective massing of the clay, the hollowed out walls with uniform thickness, and the individual expressiveness of the figures. Methods of evaluation focused on X-radiography, paint cross-sections, Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Raman spectroscopy, thermoluminescence, and other methods of evaluation conducted by the Gardner Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. These new discoveries contributed to the 2010 exhibition, Modeling Devotion: Terracotta Sculptures of the Italian Renaissance, which highlighted the highly emotive and expressive qualities of these artworks, their technique and condition, and even fakes and forgeries created in the late 19th century to fuel a growing market.
In addition to in-depth technical analysis, treatment, and photographic documentation of the da Maiano, conservators compared it with another version of the bust at the National Gallery of Art (NGA) in Washington, D.C. The appearance of both busts has changed overtime due to multiple repainting campaigns. Paint cross-sections of the Gardner's bust suggest that there were four to five successive paint campaigns. Pigment analysis was carried out with SEM-EDS and Raman spectroscopy and revealed that the original paint layer includes: vermilion, lead tin yellow (type I), yellow ocher, red lake, and lead white. The paint layer just below the current presentation surface consists of black paint mixed with a combination of ground copper and brass metal leaf in a prior attempt make the terracotta sculpture appear to be bronze. Interestingly, the NGA's bust was also faux-bronzed at one point in its history. Treatment of the sculpture was relatively minor, consisting of local consolidation of unstable paint, surface cleaning with water-based solutions, and minor in-painting.

TURTON will play Hindsford and CMB and Stoneclough will clash in the semi-finals of the Bolton Hospital Cup.
Stoneclough earned their place in the last four when they won the last quarter-final 3-1 against Old Boltonians on Thursday night.
West Lancashire League Division Two outfit Stoneclough got a flying start with what is believed to bethe fastest goal ever scored in the competition after only 13 seconds.
Callum Hughes picked up the ball on the left and beat his marker before drilling his shot past the advancing keeper.
Hughes doubled his tally on 28 minutes with another fine shot, but Stoneclough were reduced to 10 men two minutes later when Kieron Torkington was sent off for an off the ball incident.
Dogged defending by Stoneclough saw them hold out until the 81st minute when the Lancashire Amateur League Premier Division leaders halved the deficit with a well taken free kick.
Old bolts pushed forward in search on an equaliser and were caught on the break in the 89th minute when Callum Yearsley latched on to a through ball, drew the keeper and scored with an angled lob.
Stoneclough v CMB will take place at Atherton LR on Wednesday, April 23, at 7.30pm, with Hindsford v Turton at Atherton Colls on Monday, April 28, at 7.30pm.

Wash. Post Writer Rubin's Irresponsible Rush To Judgment On Norway Attacks
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
When the Washington Post hired conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin in November 2010, editorial page editor Fred Hiatt promised she would "provide critical news coverage and commentary" with "fresh perspective and insightful reporting to our readers." That insight and perspective was sorely lacking when it came to Rubin's coverage of the recent horrific attacks in Norway.
In a post at 5:06pm ET on Friday, Rubin quoted from a Weekly Standard post by Thomas Joscelyn in which he wrote that the attack was "in all likelihood ... launched by part of the jihadist hydra." Rubin then wrote:
Moreover, there is a specific jihadist connection here: "Just nine days ago, Norwegian authorities filed charges against Mullah Krekar, an infamous al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist who, with help from Osama bin Laden, founded Ansar al Islam -- a branch of al Qaeda in northern Iraq -- in late 2001."
But Rubin wasn't done, as she went on to attack President Obama and "irresponsible lawmakers on both sides of the aisle" for allegedly being soft on Al Qaeda:
This is a sobering reminder for those who think it's too expensive to wage a war against jihadists. I spoke to Gary Schmitt of the American Enterprise Institute, who has been critical of proposed cuts in defense and of President Obama's Afghanistan withdrawal plan. "There has been a lot of talk over the past few months on how we've got al-Qaeda on the run and, compared with what it once was, it's become a rump organization. But as the attack in Oslo reminds us, there are plenty of al-Qaeda allies still operating. No doubt cutting the head off a snake is important; the problem is, we're dealing with global nest of snakes."
Some irresponsible lawmakers on both sides of the aisle -- I will point the finger at Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee and yet backed the Gang of Six scheme to cut $800 billion from defense -- would have us believe that enormous defense cuts would not affect our national security. Obama would have us believe that al-Qaeda is almost caput and that we can wrap up things in Afghanistan. All of these are rationalizations for doing something very rash, namely curbing our ability to defend the United States and our allies in a very dangerous world.
At 7:17pm ET, Rubin tweeted a link to her post and wrote, "Norway bombing and why we shouldn't slash defense- IT IS A DANGEROUS WORLD."
But Rubin jumped the gun. The Washington Post -- like numerous others -- are now reporting that the "Norwegian man taken into custody, whom Norwegian media identified as Anders Behring Breivik, has admitted to firing the weapons, police chief Sveinung Sponheim told reporters Saturday. Police officials have described the man as a right-wing Christian fundamentalist, a member of a small, largely Internet-based community that has been quiet in recent years."
At The Atlantic, James Fallows correctly writes that the Post "owes the world an apology" for the Rubin item, adding that "this is a sobering reminder for those who think it's too tedious to reserve judgment about horrifying events rather than instantly turning them into talking points for pre-conceived views."
As of this posting, Rubin has yet to correct her post or acknowledge the new developments. Her last blog post was at 9:07pm last night about the debt negotiations.
UPDATE: Rubin wrote a new blog post about Norway on Saturday night here.

sign me up! ... if i don't buy a galaxy s3 first!
i would go with this but the coverage here is pretty bad.i had a pretty decent cricket phone a year ago and half the places i went to i did not have coverage. Worst was the fact that anywhere near where i work there is no service at all.
Hopefully they upgrade the coverage then i can join in.
Do they need a sim card? Hmm wonder how good they are. Maybe I'd transfer over there!
do we HAVE TO buy the phone from cricket or do you think we can use our own iphone ( thats assuming we have an unlocked iphone) hmmm iwonder???
i just found out that cricket is CDMA...and i already knew that att is gsm,,, i knew i should have went with verizon!!!...well maybe cricket will have a trade in program so i can trade them my iphone 4 for 200$ and ill credit it to the 4s and wind up paying 300$ out of pocket... would i do that? to go from 110$ a month to 55$ a month??? darn skippy i would!!! but theres also this...what would there unlimited data be before they started to throttle it?? i get 3gbs a month with att right now and i never cracked 2gbs yet so i probably wont have to worry, but i have friends that constantly hit 5gbs a month, and i dont know how they use that much more than me, cause i am constantly on my jailbroken phone downloading themes and what not...we will see!!!!
The iPhone 5 will be announced by then at the WWDC 2012 ... Who wants an iPhone 4or4s then ?
found it, on their site at the bottom "Terms and conditions of service">"DATA" last sentence "We reserve the right to deny or terminate service without notice for any misuse or any use that adversely affects network performance." so if you go over a little more than 2-3GB your service will be cut off til next bill cycle, so they have a cap their not telling.. I've been through the same BS with h2o. These prepaid companies need to stop advertising unlimited everything plans.
In the Bay Area, we have Metro PCS they have pretty good cover and they charge I believe 35 or 40 a month. Unlimited everything. There's no catch beside you need to pay when the due date comes or they cut your **** off. Cricket might be doing the same thing.
where can i find the real world data speeds for these new iDevice adopting companies (e.g. Cricket, metro pcs etc etc). I want to know if the monthly bills is worth the speeds I will actually get.
Umm....at $55 per month, over 24 months (average), the cost will be $1,320 per user, this more than pays for the subsidy. Your total cost, including the 16GB iPhone 4S would be $1,819
Now, if you use Straight Talk at $45 per month, over 24 months, the service would be $1,080 and purchase even a phone locked to AT&T (they offer compatible SIM cards) at $499 (average cost) plus the $15 charge for a SIM card, you can come out ahead of the game with a total cost of: $1,594.
Ok, so Straight Talk doesn't officially offer the iPhone; however, you can bring one with you and they are easy enough to find.

Not going to go very long here because, well, I'm losing interest.
1) David (Milk Carton) Clarkson was spotted a few times. Nice play on the GWG by Adam Henrique, who kind of had to make a better shot than the one-foot putt the Rangers gave him at the end of the ECF.
2) That penalty call on Milk Carton Clarkson? Pansification to the nth degree.
3) The NHL needs to make a rule for all these trigger-happy arena event managers who think it's OK to turn on lights and whistles when they think their team scored, even if they didn't. LA's Williams hit the pipe, and all kinds of red lights started flashing. Happened in DC too. The league needs to make sure that stuff doesn't happen until, you know, a goal is actually scored.
4) You guys who think this zero-goal performance by Future Ranger Zach Parise is hurting his price tag? You're nuts. He's going to make a huge bundle of money, the donut nothwithstanding.
5) Good game for Patrik Elias. Good for him.
6) How come the "We Want the Cup" chant always sounds like "We Want Cup?"
7) Martin Brodeur, for a guy who allowed only one goal, sure got beaten a few times. And how 'bout that Bryzgalov in front where Brodeur nearly banked one in his own net off Dustin Brown?
8) Devils PK stinks.
9) LA has been up 3-0 in every series, and three times in the four rounds, lost Game 4. Then, after the two previous Game 4 losses, the Kings won Game 5. This thing is over Saturday in Newark.
10) Torts must have been laughing at the idiotic questions asked of Darryl Sutter after the game. Where do they find these people, and why do they think they need to ask those questions?

The Emmys 2012: The Best (and Worst) Dressed Men
Baldwin is a sucker for tradition, so we say stick with the tux. Choosing one with a shawl color and in an inky blue-black by one of the actor's favorite designers, Ermenegildo Zegna, gives it an instant update, even as 30 Rock begins to end.
There are few people in the world who could get away with the whole draping-a-coat-over-your-tux thing, as demonstrated in Valentino's fall collection. But if anyone could, it would be this debonair Brit, nominated for his role in the Hemingway & Gellhorn miniseries. Even without the coat, that's a killer ensemble.

"The Internet's Own Boy," a documentary about the late Aaron Swartz, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last week to thunderous ovation. A teaser of the film can be seen below.
Swartz was a coding prodigy who had contributed greatly to the development of Reddit and Creative Commons, among others. He was also deeply invested in the notion of liberating information -- a cause for which he was hit with 13 felony charges related to his publishing of academic materials from MIT. The relentless railroading by a federal prosecutor drove Swartz to take his own life in January 2013, making him a martyr to the cause of freedom of information.
This story, "Preview: See the Aaron Swartz few people knew," was originally published at InfoWorld.com. Keep up with the latest tech videos with the InfoTube blog. For the latest developments in business technology news, follow InfoWorld.com on Twitter.

Spring has sprung and hay fever sufferers have been urged to wear wrap-around sunglasses and smear their noses with Vaseline to make the season as pain free as possible.
A top expert at St Helier hospital said sufferers should make sure they take medication, do what they can to avoid pollen and gave out some more unusual tips to make sure the period is not unpleasant.
Hayfever is an allergy to pollen and affects one in four people. It's symptoms include frequent sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, and itchy, red or watery eyes.
Joint Medical Director Dr James Marsh said: "From April, as the weather starts to warm up, several different types of pollens begin to increase and that's when hay fever sufferers begin to see the start of their symptoms.
"Although for many people the symptoms are mild, they can interfere with your sleep and daily activities at work or school.
"However, there are a range of treatments that are available from pharmacists to help reduce the effect of pollen, including tablets, liquid, inhalers, nasal sprays and eye drops. There are also several natural and herbal remedies which you can buy over the counter at chemists and supermarkets."
Dr Marsh said measures people with hay fever should take are:
- watch television weather reports to monitor pollen levels
- stay indoors when pollen counts are high
- close windows and doors
- wear wrap-around sunglasses
- dry washing indoors to avoid pollen sticking to it
- avoid cutting grass
- smear a small amount of Vaseline on the inside of your nose to reduce nasal symptoms.
- regularly splash your eyes with water
Dr Marsh said sufferers with asthma should keep an eye on their condition and go to the doctor if they feel it worsening.
Their doctor will be able to adjust asthma medication to help with hay fever symptoms.

UF study finds bedbugs more fertile than expected
Published: Monday, November 5, 2012 at 9:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 5, 2012 at 9:29 p.m.
Bedbugs are more fertile than scientists had thought. And it doesn't take a lot of food — our blood — for them to reproduce.
All about bedbugs
-Bedbugs are reddish brown or dark brown and 4-5 mm long — about twice the size of a tick.
-They feed at night and hide during the day — typically in mattresses and other furniture and in crevices or cracks in plaster.
-They don't transmit diseases but in rare cases can suck enough blood to cause anemia in people.
-Bedbug bite symptoms can be itchy welts or rashes on your skin, but some people have no symptoms. They can also leave blood or fecal stains on bedding. They have a musty odor.
-If you think you have bedbugs, get an inspection by a pest control company. Specially trained dogs are also now used to identify bedbugs.
-Vikane gas fumigation is recommended to rid your house of bedbugs. So is dry cleaning all bedding, clothing and other fabric in the house that might be infected. Some people swear by the non-toxic diatomaceous earth, fossilized water plants ground to a dust. Also known as bedbug dust.
A recent study led by Roberto Pereira, an associate research scientist at the University of Florida's entomology and nematology department, found that female bedbugs can produce eggs even if they only eat 5 minutes per week. A bedbug's typical feeding is 10 minutes.
"I expected them to not do very well, to be starved," said Pereira. "But even if they eat very little they can still produce a few eggs."
Pereira's interest in bedbug fertility began a few years ago, when bedbug outbreaks began occurring in public places such as movie theaters, clothing stores and public transportation.
"We were initially trying to see if bedbugs can grow in situations where they don't have access to blood every day," Pereira said, adding that these places are of course frequently occupied by people — just not all the time. For example, a seat at a movie theater that has bedbugs might be empty for a few days if no one sits there.
"The availability of food is limited. The population is going to be less than it would be at home," said Wayne Walker, senior pest control technician at the UF Department of Housing and Residence Education.
Walker said it's important to distinguish between an infestation and an introduction. Public places are more likely to get introductions, Walker said. Households get infestations.
"Bedbugs are opportunistic. They feed whenever they can, and typically that's at night when the food source is available," Walker added.
Pereira's study, which was published last month in the journal Medical and Veterinary Entomology, also found that bedbugs eat an average of two to three times a week for 10 minutes. At that feeding rate, they can make 30-35 eggs a week, three times what was previously believed. And in 11 weeks, a single bedbug can spawn a family of 3,500 — enough to harm a baby in a crib. In 15 weeks, that family's population jumps to about 25,000 bugs — enough to harm adults, Pereira said. That means there are enough bedbugs to suck at a rate of at least 5 percent of a human's blood a month, the maximum monthly threshold for how much blood a person should have drawn.
Rarely, however, do people actually lose this much blood before they notice a bedbug outbreak in their homes. Yet for other people, bedbugs go completely unnoticed. An estimated 35 percent of people who have bedbugs never realize it, Walker said.
"You could get a pretty serious manifestation without even knowing it."
Pereira added, "The biggest mistake people make is thinking the bedbugs aren't doing any harm because they can't feel anything."
Some people get itchy welts or rashes from bedbug bites, but others have no reaction.
While Pereira's study may bode badly for bedbug outbreaks overall, Walker said he isn't worried about the local situation. At UF, he typically sees about four to five cases each year, although this year there haven't been any.
"Most of our issues occur in our family housing units, rented to residents without any furniture," Walker said. "Eighty-five percent are international students and they arrive with just enough money to survive. They get hand-me-down furniture. I've seen them scavenge furniture from off the sidewalks."
But, fortunately, dorms have been virtually untouched, unlike many colleges and universities, Walker added. "There are a lot of places out there that are really, really challenged. Typically, it's gone undetected for a long period of time, so instead of having one room with the problem you have floors of it. When it gets to that level, it becomes a huge issue to solve."
In Gainesville, bedbug problems also have been contained, said Anthony Dennis, director of environmental health at the Alachua County Health Department. Dennis gets about six calls a year about bedbugs — mostly from people who have stayed at a local hotel or motel.
Cody Garber, the supervisor and manager at Gainesville's Brooker Pest Control, said he gets about one to two calls about bedbugs each month, often from people who have just moved into a new apartment or house. Garber suspects there would be more calls if Brooker did treatments other than fumigations, which many people resist because of the cost and inconvenience. Fumigating a small house costs $1,500 to $2,000, Garber said. Fumigations involve clearing the house of all food, medications and people, wrapping a tent around it and injecting vikane gas in the house.
"If you don't get every single inch of that place, you take a chance of not getting it and it could come back in five to six months," Garber said.
And when people don't do those fumigations they risk spreading bedbugs in public places, Walker said.
"They try to self medicate (the house), but the (bedbug) population continues to grow. These are the same people that utilize the same public transportation and movie theaters that the rest of us use. The bedbugs get displaced because that's where people who have issues with them end up."

FINAL: Saint Leo 10, Webber International 2 (Saint Leo, Fla., University Field)
RECORDS: Saint Leo (1-0-0), Webber International (1-1-0)
SAINT LEO STARTERS: #1 Evans (GK), #4 Foreman, #5 Pedersen, #7 Kabangu, #8 Nerman, #9 Gignac, #13 Schuering, #17 Schwenk, #18 Jaimes, #19 Siegrist-Gabas, #23 Roda

The Saint Leo women's soccer team started their season off with a statement as the Lions trounced visiting Webber International 10-2 on Sunday afternoon.
The Lions jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but defensive miscues by a revamped Saint Leo back line allowed Webber to knot the score on goals scored just a minute apart. The end of the first half and all of the second saw Saint Leo score eight unanswered goals in an offensive show of strength.
- It didn't take Saint Leo long to spin the scoreboard in the new year as the Lions scored just 1:32 into the contest when Maria Siegrist-Gabas caught a Fabienne Schwenk cross and deposited into the back of the net.
- The second tally for the Lions came when a Webber turnover in the box was intercepted by a Lion forward who was promptly pulled down. The resulting penalty kick was slotted home by Siegrist-Gabas.
- Sloppy clearing efforts from the Saint Leo defenders saw Webber pick up its two goals at 6:33 and 7:32 as the visiting Warriors capitalized on both of the gifted goals.
- The remainder of the game was largely dominated by Saint Leo as Webber only totaled four more shots for the remainder with just one finding its way toward goal resulting in an easy save by Lions' keeper Abby Evans.
- Of the eight unanswered goals scored by the Lions, two came from the foot of newcomer Arielle Kabangu and two came from veteran Stephanie Marran.
- Siegrist-Gabas, Kabangu and Marran tallied two goals apiece in the scoring barrage
- A physical game saw six cards issued between the teams with one red card (double yellow) being shown to a Webber player.
- Schwenk scored a goal, but her contributions were felt from her crisp passes into the box as she racked up three assists.
- Katie Furtado came off the bench to score a goal and add two assists
- Kabangu's goals were a given, considering she blasted a game-high seven shots toward goal in the game.
- Kabangu's seven shots were just one fewer that the entire Webber team, who recorded eight in total.
- In goal for the Lions for the full 90 minutes, Abby Evans faced five shots and posted three saves.
- Webber held the advantage in saves a 4-3.
- The Lions outshot the visitors from Babson Park, 30-8
- Saint Leo held the advantage in corner kicks at 12-3
- The 10-2 final score marks the first time the Lions reached double-digits in scoring since August 25, 2009 when Saint Leo bested Clearwater Christian 13-0.
- Today's game also marks the first time there have been a combined 12 goals scored since that 2009 game against Clearwater.
- Today marked the start of the seventh season under the leadership of Head Coach Ged O'Connor. He has taken the Lions to a Sunshine State Conference Regular Season (2011) and Tournament (2008) Championship.
- Just five starters from today's lineup played in last year's final game versus Tampa, evidence of an overhauled starting lineup.
- The Lions' 10 goals scored today bested the entire team total from last season when Saint Leo touched the back of the net just nine times.
- Saint Leo's 10-2 victory over Webber was a small measure of revenge against the Warriors after Webber handed Saint Leo a 3-1 setback on September 3, 2012.
After starting the season at home, the Lions will take to the road for the next five contests beginning with a trip to St. Augustine, Fla. on Friday the 13th to face Flager. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Cards lose ground in Central with loss to Crew
ST. LOUIS -- There was no particular play, nor a list of items for Adam Wainwright to point to this time when searching for what might have gone awry as the Cardinals opened a three-game series with the division-rival Brewers on Friday.
Sometimes, he thought, the answer might be as simple as the other team making plays.
The Brewers pestered Wainwright early and a barrage of close plays later unraveled his outing, and the Brewers assured themselves of finishing this weekend series atop the National League Central thanks to a 7-4 win at Busch Stadium to move three games ahead of the Cardinals in the division.
"It was not an easy night," said Wainwright, who allowed all seven runs on nine hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings. "I made some good pitches tonight, and they worked me hard. A good team does that sometimes. There's really nothing to point to. There's a couple of key plays in that game that they made good on. [When you're] playing good teams, a couple of key moments here, a couple of key moments there, that's the game."
An uncharacteristic mistake led to the Brewers' first run. After falling behind, 3-0, to Aramis Ramirez in the second inning, Wainwright attempted to steal a strike with a sinker across the plate, but instead he watched the pitch fly 396 feet into the left-field bullpen to start the scoring.
Wainwright hadn't allowed a home run in 68 innings dating back to May 30, and he had never surrendered one on a 3-0 count.
"I probably should have been ready for that," he said. "He had no reason not to [swing] right there. A 0-0 game, and he's trying to get something going for the team. I should have been better than that."
Ramirez doubled in the Brewers' second run in the second inning, and Ryan Braun added an RBI ground-rule double in the fifth inning to give the Brewers a three-run lead.
Ramirez collected three hits against Wainwright, upping his career average against him to .415. That is the best mark against Wainwright by any active player with at least 30 at-bats.
"I don't have an explanation for it," Ramirez said. "He's one of the best pitchers in the game for a while now, but I don't know, for some reason I take good swings on him and get good pitches to hit and put them in play hard. ... Like I said, he's good. I can't say what's going on there. I'm sure he doesn't [know], either."
Although the Cards' offense struggled to muster anything against Brewers right-hander Wily Peralta through the first five innings, collecting just two hits, they were still in it when the Brewers came to bat in the sixth.
But Jean Segura's comebacker deflected off the glove of first baseman Matt Adams, putting a leadoff runner on before a blooper dropped into shallow center field and the Cardinals attempted to get a forceout at second base.
After Segura was called safe, manager Mike Matheny unsuccessfully challenged and was ejected later in the inning for arguing the decision.
"I saw a perfect replay where he was out at second," Wainwright said. "Who knows if those plays end up making a difference, but one out and a guy on first is a lot different than first and second and nobody out. That game completely changed course there."
Wainwright would retire the next batter on a sacrifice, but then he hit Carlos Gomez to load the bases. Jonathan Lucroy, after fouling off a 3-2 pitch, doubled to the right-field wall to clear the bases on a pitch Wainwright threw off the plate.
"That's a pretty good pitch," Wainwright said. "If you look at the tape, that pitch is down and away, probably off the plate even. He just made a good swing on it. Good hitters do that occasionally."
Wainwright's night ended there after 5 1/3 innings. Another run would be charged to him following his exit, for a final total of seven runs on nine hits and three walks.
"He just had to work, had to try to adjust to a pretty tight zone," Matheny said. "When you come over too much of the plate when you're playing a team that's hitting the ball well, bad things are going to happen."
St. Louis, which entered Friday with the second-worst scoring offense in baseball, began to awake after finding itself in the seven-run hole when Matt Holliday sent his 11th homer over the left-field wall to start the home half of the sixth. Peter Bourjos scored in the seventh on Matt Carpenter's two-out single, and the Cardinals added two runs in the ninth on a Carpenter triple.
This was the second time in three starts that Wainwright has allowed six or more runs and the third time this season, yet this time felt different, as close plays went the Brewers' way and sent the Cardinals backward in the division.
"Those [other] games were just throwaway awful games," Wainwright said. "Tonight I had good stuff. I was working, location-wise, pretty good most of the day. It just didn't work out."

HOUSTON - This week's episode of Awake sure was heavy on the police action stuff and disappointingly light on the what's-the-real-story-with-Michael-Britten's-accident-that-killed-his-entire-family stuff. We were making such progress after last week's foray into hallucinations and schizophrenia, and it feels like this week we've kind of veered off course.
The one clue we do get into Michael's car accident is thanks to a mysterious speaker box at Ricky's Tacos. I know. Bear with me. At the top of the episode, as Michael is ordering his burrito to go, a voice tells him that the key to figuring out what happened with the car accident lies in the Westfield case, which Michael was investigating just prior to the accident. So our slightly brain damaged detective goes on the hunt and visits the Westfield building in both the red reality and the green reality. And what does he find lurking in a drawer in this deserted building, you ask? Why, a Ricky's Taco bag! Forget Westfield. It's Ricky's Taco that holds the key to unraveling the mystery surrounding the deaths of his loved ones. Seriously. Burritos.
But Thursday's episode focuses mainly on the two crimes that need solving in both the red and green realities. In the red, a three-year-old missing person's case is solved when a body turns up in… wait for it… a block of concrete! Cue racist comments from a fat white guy about Mexican immigrants working on construction sites. Moving on. In the green reality, a young girl, Sabrina, jumps off a building after having sex with Tim the Loser Classmate, and tests show she was raped before she died. So… Suicide? Murder? Back to red. When Detectives Vega and Britten go to inform the brother of the Deceased Cement Guy that he is no longer missing but, in fact, dead, Michael notices a tiger tattoo on the brother's shoulder that matches a parking sticker on the car on top of which Sabrina fell when she jumped/was pushed/we still don't know what the deal is. Michael takes this knowledge from the red side to the green side and, upon further investigation into the tiger parking sticker, discovers Sabrina was really itching to have sex with someone she once trusted, be that an ex-boyfriend or a dorky classmate who seems nice enough. What could this mean?!
Back to red. Ominous Suit Man (who was clearly involved with Michael's car accident in some sinister way) returns and is not happy that Michael has been visiting the Westfield buildings. Clearly these buildings are important. We will not discover why during this episode.
Back to green. Turns out, Sabrina was four months preggo when she died, and those tests that indicated rape also indicate a pattern of sexual abuse. That, paired with a confession from Sabrina's sister that their father sexually abuses them, exonerates Tim the Loser Classmate and closes the case. Back to red. Thanks to some excellent vocab words from Dr. Lee (Pentimento? Really? Jeez not all of us majored in art history, ok?), Michael discovers that the brother of Deceased Cement Guy had not only killed his brother and buried him in the concrete, but then stole his identity and has been living the American Dream of being semi-poor but totally-greencarded. Case closed.
The episode concludes with both shrinks telling Michael that the strange voice from the Ricky's Taco speaker box was his subconscious trying to keep him from moving to Portland and severing the ties between red and green realities. Both agree that moving is an important part of the "healing" process, and that the separation will eventually illuminate which reality is "real" and which is a dream. Then, in the red reality, Michael informs the chief he's leaving LA and resigns. This makes Creepy Police Chief happy.
Unfortunately, previews for next week's episode indicate it won't have too much to do with Michael— enough pussyfooting around, let's get to the good stuff, people!
Thanks for reading, and as always, thanks for watching KPRC Local 2!

AKVIS MakeUp is a photo retouching utility that automatically smoothes small defects on the skin. It is ideal for processing wedding photographs or graduation party photos, or for users of social networks and blogs to improve their profile pictures and add a touch of glamour to the albums.
AKVIS MultiBrush is a tool that makes it quick and easy to retouch photos and enhance portraits. Available as a stand-alone product or a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, it removes wrinkles, scars, and scratches, and enhances imperfect skin on portraits in the most natural way. Spots, stains, and dust are easy to mask and remove without affecting background texture, lighting, or colors. It is similar to the Adobe Healing Brush, but offers more flexibility and customization options. It also includes Artistic Cloning and more.
AKVIS NatureArt is a tool for imitating natural phenomena on your digital photos. The effects it can add include sun flares, lightning bolts, rain, and snow. The program can also create nature scenes from scratch by converting a blank background into a sea view or a night sky with scattered, glistening stars.
AKVIS Noise Buster is a image editor plug-in for noise suppression on digital and scanned images. AKVIS Noise Buster reduces both luminance and chroma (color) noise on digital images without spoiling other aspects of the photo. The plug-in's window shows "before" and "after" images for instant preview and easy tweaking of the parameters. Separate setting areas for luminance and chroma noise allow you to deal with each kind of noise in the most efficient way. It is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop pro, etc.
AKVIS Sketch is a program for conversion of photos into pencil sketches and watercolor drawings. It can make any photo look like a black-and-white or color drawing, and it can imitate the techniques of graphite or color pencils, charcoal, or watercolor painting. The program works in an entertaining way. It allows you to observe the conversion of a photo into a drawing or watercolor in real time, and even lets you interrupt the process when the required result is achieved. Its special effects can be used to create a blend of a drawing and a photo, imitate motion, or add a "time machine effect" by swirling the background. It can accentuate certain parts of an image by blurring the rest of it.
AKVIS SmartMask plug-in is an efficient selection tool. There are two pencils: blue and red. You draw a line with the blue pencil inside the object you want to select, and with the red pencil some lines outside the object to define the areas that should be cut out. The plugin offers three modes: Sharp, Soft, and Complex.

Mystery HouseMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Clyde Stevenson just bought a brand new house. Everything in it was state of the art; the refrigerator was stainless steel, the ovens were electric, even the windows were built to only open from the inside. Clyde was a very nervous man, and always kept his house locked up, especially this one, since it was new.
Clyde decided, since he bought a nice new house, he might as well break it in and plan a barbeque. He went to the store and bought some steaks, wine (it was his first party), and other things that he saw fit. He set the table, had the steaks marinating, and then began calling his friends to come over. He invited Stan, Eric, Helen and Pete.
They all came over and Clyde started the steaks. He finished grilling the steaks, and then broke open the wine and they started to eat. They talked about sports, the news, and gossiped about people in town. After a while, Stan started to get a little tipsy and was getting a little rude. Clyde asked him to settle down, in a civil manner, but Stan got furious and tried to fight. After quite a brawl, they got a taxi for Stan and everyone left.
The next day at 10:00 A.M., the police got a call that Clyde had been murdered. When the police arrived on the scene, they found Stan and Helen. The police officer decided to question them both at the station, to get the story straight.
When the officer questioned Stan, he said, "I was talking to Helen on the phone when I told her I should go over to Clyde's to apologise. (Stan told the officer what happened last night) She said that she should come with me in case things got heated again, and I said that was fine. I got there about ten minutes after Helen did, and I noticed that the front door was locked. I decided to look through a window to see if they were there, when I saw Helen, blood soaked, tossing a knife into the sink. I quickly opened the window and crawled through, and called the police. Helen killed Clyde."
When the officer questioned Helen she said, "Stan called me and told me to meet him at Clyde's so he could apologise about last night. (She also told the story about what happened) I get there about ten minutes faster than Stan, so I decided to wait in the car for him. After a while, I got bored so I decided to go in and tell Clyde what was going to happen. I noticed the door was wide open, and I thought that was strange because Clyde is a very nervous man. So, I rang the doorbell, walked in, and locked the door, because I know that Clyde always wants the door locked. I saw Clyde lying on the floor with stab wounds. I grabbed him to see if he was alive, but he was dead. I went into the kitchen to call the police when I saw Stan in the other room saying that I killed him, and that he had called the police."
The officer put them in different jail cells and decided to look over the crime scene. He searched the entire area and discovered who murdered Clyde. Who was it and why?
HintReread carefully.
AnswerStan murdered Clyde. In the beginning it states that the windows were new, and were designed to only open from the inside. If Stan had tried to open the window, he would have found it wouldn't work, and he would not have been able to get through that way.

Stuffed Piquillo Peppers with Goat Cheese
Sweeter and smokier than regular roasted red bell peppers, piquillos form an ideal shell for tangy, creamy goat cheese speckled with scallions and mint.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, June 2008
- 16 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
- 1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
- 1 jar (7 ounces) piquillo peppers (about 15 peppers), drained, liquid reserved
- 2 lemons
- Spring onions, for garnish (optional)
Place goat cheese, scallions, mint, red-pepper flakes, and reserved piquillo liquid in a bowl. Zest and then juice lemons into the bowl, straining seeds. Mix until well combined.
Using a small spoon, fill each pepper with about 2 tablespoons of the goat cheese mixture. Alternatively, pipe the mixture into the peppers. Place on a serving plate, and sprinkle with red-pepper flakes; garnish with spring onions if desired. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, about 1 hour.

MS1142114210 MAR, 2017I try to save recipes by saving them but I always get the message that there was an error, try again later. Why can't I save them?Reply
guitar4me8639823 FEB, 2010GOSH!! These were so delicious. I served these at a wine and cheese party I hosted. I expected the peppers to be a smaller than they were, and maybe they vary, but one stuffed pepper was quite filling. The amount of goat cheese can be expensive but it's worth it, they were tasty! My guests absolutely loved them. Keep in mind the peppers are delicate so piping is the best way to go.Reply

THE ELECTORATE are being urged to check they are registered to vote in the run up to the general election as Stroud district moves to an electronic system.
Every Stroud district resident over the age of 16 on the current electoral roll will receive a letter from the Electoral Registration Officer in the next couple of weeks informing them of the change to the electoral registration system.
The move is from the old 'head of household' registration system to a new system of personal registration called 'Individual Electoral Registration'.
Most residents will automatically move onto the new electoral register. However, some will need to take action to join or remain on it, which can now be done for the first time by registering quickly and easily online.
Out of 92,278 individuals, 82,784 have been automatically transferred over to the new system; meaning 9,494 are not and are advised to provide extra information in order to register.
Residents are asked to carefully read the letter they receive as it will advise if they have been automatically transferred to the new register or not.
Anyone receiving a letter advising that they were not transferred can either visit www.gov.uk/register-to-vote to register online, or return their completed form by post.

With the expansion of sports television coverage over the last several decades, each television network has aimed to make its broadcast presentation the best and most memorable in the business. One of the overlooked aspects of creating a viewing experience that becomes familiar and, thus, habit-forming, is the theme music that a network chooses for each sport. I have compiled a list of the top ten sports theme songs in recent memory: 10 – College Football on ESPN ***** ESPN kicks off our list with its college football theme that ran from 2004-2010. While this jingle may not be anything special, it adds a marching band feel to the broadcast, helping fans at home feel like they are at the game. 9 – USGA – US Open on NBC ***** The US Open theme is a favorite of mine. Coming from the great composer Yanni, this inspires me to go out and play a round with a few friends. Then I come back to earth and realize that even though this gets me excited for golf season, it doesn't enhance my skills. 8 – Monday Night Football ***** One of the more classic musical introductions in all of sports. For most men, and some women, hearing the MNF theme brings them back to sanity, reminding them that Monday is finally over and it's OK to watch some football and drink some beer. 7 – SEC on CBS ***** Much like the ESPN college football theme, the SEC on CBS provides a classic marching band feel to its theme. This theme has been a part of CBS football broadcasts since 1987. The tradition makes it number seven on our list. 6 – Wimbledon ***** Ah, Wimbledon. Typically the feeling you get when the broadcast begins with this number. The trumpets give the song a British feel to it. Possibly one of the more fitting themes in all of sports. 5 – NFL on FOX ***** Everybody knows what time it is when they hear the NFL on FOX theme. This enthusiastic jam has been used for nearly 20 years of NFL Sundays, and it is one of the more recognizable themes in sports. 4 – NBA on NBC ***** It was a sad day when NBC no longer covered NBA games. Mainly because we no longer got to hear John Tesh's masterpiece, which he named Roundball Rock. Many hear this and think back to the days of Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller, The New York Knicks, and the Utah Jazz. 3 – MLB on FOX ***** Unfortunately, FOX discontinued the use of this theme in 2010 and decided to use its football theme (Number 5 on the list) for all of its sports coverage. This comes in at number three on our list because it was a cousin to the NFL on FOX theme, though it had a bit more energy to it, getting the casual fan excited about a baseball game. 2 – NCAA on CBS ***** It's impossible to hear this song and not think of March Madness, Selection Sunday, and the Final Four. This year will mark the 20th anniversary of CBS using this theme for its college basketball coverage. Get your brackets ready! 1 – The Olympics ***** Elegant, with a bit of competitive nature to its song. The Olympic theme, to me, illustrates everything the Olympics stand for every four years: class, pride and competition. Just listening to this theme gives me goosebumps. ***** Now that you have seen our list, chime in! What songs were too high, too low, or left out? Let us know in the comments!

MENTAL health patients in East Lancashire are being urged to recognise those NHS workers who have made a difference to their care.
National charity Breakthrough has joined forces with Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust to launch the Positive Practice in Mental Health Awards.
They consist of 15 categories, including Innovative Practice, Integrating Physical and Mental Healthcare, and a Stamping out Stigma award.
Heather Tierney-Moore, chief executive at Lancashire Care, said: "It's really important to recognise, and share, positive practice in mental health care in order to celebrate work that is being done well, and improve things that could be done better. I would encourage members of the public who have had a positive experience of the trust's mental health services to make a nomination and celebrate positive practice in Lancashire."
