A BURNLEY man who was attacked while playing video games with a friend needed a chest brace to help him breathe after he ended up with so many broken ribs and vertebrae, a court heard.
Today Thomas Rickwood, 22, is beginning an eight-year jail sentence after leaving his victim, Stuart Mottram, with 'life-changing' injuries.
Sitting at Burnley Crown Court, Judge Beverley Lunt told the defendant he had only escaped being given a life sentence because of his relatively young age.
Rickwood carried out the sustained violent attack after drinking vodka and while taking steroids, cannabis and anti-depresssants, the court heard.
He admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and Judge Lunt also imposed a five-year extended licence, on his release, after ruling he posed a danger to the public.
Prosecutor Joseph Allman said Mr Mottram was visiting Burnley Wood, to deliver books as part of the Burnley Buy and Sell scheme, when he was invited into the home of Rickwood, who he had known since they were schoolboys.
The pair drank vodka and Mr Mottram smoked cannabis while they played on an X-Box console, the court heard.
Mr Allman said: "What exactly transpired next is unclear but they did get onto the subject of Mr Mottram's former partner. It seems that the defendant took a dim view of how their relationship ended.
"Mr Mottram was sat on the sofa in the lounge when the defendant set about punching him in the head. He estimated that the defendant hit him eight or nine times before he ended up on the floor."
The court heard Rickwood also kicked and stamped on his victim before he lost consciousness.
Later Rickwood did call an ambulance and Mr Mottram, badly bruised, walked out bare chested with paramedics, a judge heard.
He was taken to the Royal Blackburn Hospital and immediately transferred to the intensive care unit, where it was discovered he had seven broken ribs, some fractured in more than one place, and four broken vertebrae.
Because of his injuries, which left him with serious breathing difficulties, he was fitted with a chest brace, the court heard.
Mr Allman said days later, while recovering, he identified Rickwood as his attacker. Police discovered the football shirt the victim had been wearing, half-burnt in the defendant's back yard. the court was told.
Mr Allman said that three days before the attack Rickwood had appeared in court over a racially-aggravated attack on a shopkeeper - and five or six days after the violence he had assaulted two other people.
Richard Taylor, defending, said that thankfully his client had eventually stopped the assault and later alerted the emergency service. He had expressed remorse.
Judge Lunt said: "It has literally changed his life. He no longer feels safe and has lost his confidence in going out and suffers flashbacks to the incident."

Asus Eee PC 901
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
Eee PC is a bit special and there are special Linux distributions which do a lot of special things to support it. MEPIS seems to nearly 'just work' with a piece of good luck, but it is not a special Eee distribution and things described below are very little tested so please take this article as experimental hints. Good results are possible but failures are possible as well.
Get it to work
A case study on installing MEPIS 8 on Asus Eee PC 900 is located here
MEPIS 7.9.92 beta 5 can be installed on Asus Eee PC 901. It is possible to put it on a SD card and keep Windows quite untouched:
- boot live CD on other PC
- create bootable MEPIS USB key using MEPIS System Assistant
- boot Eee PC from the USB stick (press Esc to get list of boot media)
- install MEPIS on SD card
Two changes might be needed in GRUB command line to let it boot from the SD card. First, order of drives may be messed up. Edit line to contain this:
root (hd0,0)
If kernel complains about missing root partition, adding this may help (less than 10 may also work):
Once the showstoppers are gone, most things just work without any problem:
- X screen with correct size
- ethernet
- ALSA sound
- basic touchpad (without scrollwheel simulation)
- suspend to RAM
Verizon V640 aircard
Open up
and change it to this:
[cdma] number=#777 password=vzw username=0 [connection] autoconnect=true icon=phone id=Verizon timestamp=2010,4,12,17,36,27 type=cdma uuid={cd7dcf98-5976-473f-9970-1bd9f47116bf} [ipv4] addresses= dns= dnssearch= ignoredhcpdns=false method=Automatic routes= [ppp] baud=460800 crtscts=false lcpechofailure=0 lcpechointerval=0 mppestateful=false mru=0 mtu=0 noauth=false nobsdcomp=false nodeflate=false novjcomp=false refusechap=false refuseeap=false refusemschap=true refusemschapv2=true refusepap=false requiremppe=false requiremppe128=false [serial] baud=460800 bits=8 parity=0 senddelay=12 stopbits=1
Some success has been had by doing the following:
- install eeepc-acpi-scripts
- click Control Center --> Regional & Accessability --> Keypoard Layout
- chose Asus Laptop from the Keyboard model pull-down menu.
Once that is done, most fn/fx keys work, including Fn/F2 to toggle wireless on and off.
Minor fixes
Some things need minor tweaks:
- text console - remove vga=791 in GRUB command line to get all lines onscreen in readable character size
- splash progress bar is offscreen - remove splash from GRUB command line to get text report instead
Alltogether, if your install looked good but then you cannot get beyond the grub screen, most problems can be fixed in GRUB config file /boot/grub/menu.lst (or onscreen at boot time). After all the changes, proper entry might look like this:
title MEPIS at sdc1, newest kernel root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdc1 nomce quiet rootdelay=10 boot
To make boot from SD card the default, press F2 after power on and make it the first drive (setup is slightly unusual, menu with 'boot' in name does not do this). Unfortunately this setting will go away once you boot without the SD card.
Nice configuration improvements
Most likely you will be pleased by configuring suspend to RAM on lid closing.

Young children are being encouraged to start 2014 with a rhyme.
Following the success of the 2013 Bookstart Rhyme Challenge, in which 160 families took part, Bradford Council's Libraries Service has set up its own challenge for the New Year.
Last year's challenge was also said to have helped pre-school children learn new words and become more confident at speaking and listening.
Up to 4,000 pre-school age children are expected to take part in the challenge which will involve learning five rhymes – Twinkle Twinkle; Incy Wincy Spider; Heads, Shoulders Knees and Toes; A Sailor Went to Sea Sea Sea and Bouncing up and Down on a Big Red Tractor.
The challenge runs from January to March and will take place over four sessions in which children can join in the rhymes and sing other rhymes.
The challenge started at Burley Library last week, and starts at Ilkley Library from Saturday, February 8, at 10.30am, and Menston Library on Saturday, February 15, at 10.30am.
Bookstart Bear will visit the libraries at their final session to help celebrate the completion of the challenge. Any new members will be welcomed.
For more details, contact your local library or check the website at bradford.gov.uk/libraries and click on Children and Young People.
Councillor Ralph Berry, executive member for children's services, said: "It has been proven that great rhymers become great readers. So while this is a fun activity, it is also laying the foundation stones for these children for when they learn how to read in reception classes."
The challenge will also take place in toddler groups, private day nurseries and children's centres.

uncola - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkintel really needs to get their shit together re: dxva and hardware decoding for video Reply
vlado08 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkFirst I want to tank you Ganesh for the article. Keep the good work!
Would you give us some more information please.
Can it play 1080 60p?
There are a lot of camcorders that can record in AVCHD v2.0 (1080 60p 28Mb/s).
What are the temperatures (CPU HDD) inside during idle and 100% load?
Why ASRock don't make CPU fan to blow outside the case as in notebooks?
Can you select RGB or YUV output in new intel drivers? Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkYes, it does play 1080p60 without issues (even the Clarkdales and Arrandales can do it).
The 1080p60 streams are part of our test suite. But, yet, you are right .. I should have mentioned it.
The HTPC outputs RGB, and there is no obvious way to change it to YUV in the graphics control panel. However, the levels (0-255 / 16-235) can be modified with the Quantization Range option.
I will get back to you on the temperatures in a day. Reply
vlado08 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkThanks Ganesh, is 1080 60p hardware accelerated? Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkYes, it is.
Both 1080p60 and 16 reference frame H.264 videos were able to get DXVA2 hardware acceleration using the Microsoft DTV-DVD decoder. Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkHere is the temperature info you requested (measured using the AXTU tool for the mobo and the CPU / HD Tune Pro for the hard disk in Celsiuis scale):
Motherboard : 42
Hard Disk : 37
Prime95 + Furmark (after 15 minutes of activity):
Motherboard : 48
Hard Disk : 39 Reply
tech6 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkI bought a previous generation HT100-BD and it was a fine HTPC but the ASRock service was appaling. The unit had two failed HDMI ports in the first 12 months and the second time ASRock demanded payment to fix it (even tough it was under warranty).
As convenient as it may seem, I would go down the DIY route just for the flexibility of being able to fix it yourself. Reply
Rick83 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkAs paying the Windows Tax for a single purpose/ non-gaming machine is a bit pointless, I wonder how well the hardware in this box cooperates with Linux?
I tried to build a HTPC on an older AMD platform and was continually being thwarted by driver issues (WLAN, sound, graphics), but here there actually may be an advantage, as Intel has a developer that manages libva, so their acceleration might work better on linux than DXVA..
Also XBMC has a native linux version which is quite nice and should even boot faster in an optimized system than a Windows system. Reply
Vagn Henning - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkAs you might have noticed, the box ships without Windows. You see, that's the difference between your "Windows tax" and other taxes: You don't have to pay it. You are free to install any other OS. If you stopped pretending otherwise, someone might actually answer your question... Reply
Rick83 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkWell, the reviewer only used Windows, hence assuming that one pays for it.
A Windows-only review is of little help for someone attempting to deploy linux on this box.
If the reviewer implies the windows tax, by not mentioning alternatives, he is the one accepting it, I am merely referring to his point of view.
Also, the alternative to the Windows tax is the Linux tax. The latter can often end up being higher.... Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, September 02, 2011 - link<<Well, the reviewer only used Windows, hence assuming that one pays for it.>>
That would be true, except for the part where in the table on the first page, he writes:
"Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (Retail unit is barebones)"
I agree, however, that he could have stated it clearer in the text when he mentioned the software being shipped with the system ("Our review unit shipped with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and a OEM version of Cyberlink PowerDVD for Blu-Ray playback."). Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkGuys, I am keeping track of the developments in the Linux HTPC space.
As soon as we can get to a point where it is possible to play Blu-rays with menus (we can already playback encrypted Blu-rays with MakeMKV installed, just not with menus -- this was the state when I last looked at it), we will carry out a detailed Linux HTPC article. Reply
Rick83 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkThanks, looking forward to that! Reply
bobbozzo - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkHi Ganesh,
I don't care about BD so I'd like to see a review even if BD menus don't work.
Thanks for all the HTPC articles! Reply
Miles Prower - Saturday, September 03, 2011 - linkI'm considering buying this machine too, as both a lightweight desktop PC (hey, why not) and a HTPC. Both solutions running Linux.
I'd llove to see a review considering XBMC performance and hardware support! Reply
cjs150 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - link"The unit has a noise level of less than 36 dB at full load "
Not good enough. The system needs to be much better 30dB or less. Then there is the issue of how noisy is the Blu-ray drive. In my AV rack the one aspect which really annoys me is the Sony Blu ray player which is clearly audible at quiet points in movies. So would really like to know how loud the optical drive is (why do case manufacturers no include some dampening?)
Having said that it is clearly a very good system . Problem is that Zotac have just announced their AD10 nano system. Whilst it is over priced and lacks an optical drive (not a problem for me as store movies to NAS), in a main room it just looks a far better piece of kit, and a lot smaller (and allegedly quieter) Reply
pvdw - Friday, September 02, 2011 - link"27 dB during Disc Playback" Reply
cjs150 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkOops missed that in the charts.
Much better, but I do wonder how much of that noise is due to the Blu ray drive - 22.4 dB on idle and 27 dB on Blu ray playback does not really help me - was this playback from HD or from the optical drive. I can believe the number if from HD, I do not believe the number if from optical drive, but if it is correct then I am impressed. Maybe it is just me, but case manufacturers have spent some time putting vibration dampening grommets for hard disks but never for the optical drives - why? A bit of care might reduce the noise considerably.
The problem is that we keep getting quoted dB and how something is so quiet it is effectively silent when clearly it is not. The standard I work to is very simple. If I can hear a computer during a quiet section of a movie or a song, than it is too loud. Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkDisc = optical drive. The extra noise is due to the operation of the ODD. Yes, I agree with your metric that if people hear it, it is noisy. However, different people have different tolerance / hearing levels. So, you do need to have some sort of base metric to compare against. For example, at 2 ft, I find 36 dB quite audible. But, only during quiet scenes in the video. Reply
Rick83 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linknote that the measurements were done at 2 feet and not the more or less standardized meter. I'm not going to make the transformation now, as I'm not to keen to get into exponential scaling at this time of day, but it's always important to keep the context of db(A) measures in mind when comparing values. Reply
DocJones - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkI've been wanting to put together a media server with an i5 CPU just about down this line. I currently run Mezzmo as the server software since it does a pretty good job at transcribing video on the fly based on what device is requesting it.
I wonder if this has enough juice to transcribe 1080p and send it over the wire to our media players, and if so... can it do more than one? Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkFor a server type situation, I would recommend a desktop chipset.
However, the i5-2520M is very very capable.. Maybe you should ask Mezzmo whether they can take advantage of QuickSync? Reply
DocJones - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linki5 2405S better?
Something this form factor would be nice if it worked. Mezzmo folks pretty much say I need a true 4 core 8 thread CPU to perform transcoding on the fly. I find that hard to believe. Others have noted that a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.66GHz 4MB-cache while hot handles the job just fine.
They use ffmpeg so I don't think they support QuickSync right now. Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkBeing paid software, I think Mezzmo needs to pull up its socks and adopt QuickSync for its transcoding operations. I think they can afford to sign whatever NDAs are required for this purpose (Actually, I don't think they need any because Andrew Van Til (www.babgvant.com) has actually implemented QuickSync support in his DVRMSToolBox program).
Please hound them about this. I am also personally interested in finding out whether QuickSync is flexible enough for media server software to take advantage of. Reply
blckgrffn - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkI would hope that this guy starts under $500, but seeing the prices on the Core HT100 at greater than $700, my enthusiasm is tempered a bit. Reply
icrf - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkAgreed, for $500, I'd buy one.
Since this is mostly laptop parts, what does a similarly spec'd laptop cost? No keyboard, touchpad, or screen saves some costs. What does this add that a laptop doesn't? A token remote control? Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkRemote control + IR receiver and form factor combined with scale of manufacturing mean that the cost almost works out to be the same as that of a laptop.
For many, a laptop can double up as a HTPC (even I used my notebook as a HTPC between 2005 and 2007), but PCs like these cater to those who need a quiet unobtrusive unit as part of the living room cabinet. Plus, this is a desktop replacement, i.e, you can schedule recordings with an external TV tuner when you are away from the home (or any other such usage scenario).
In the end, it is about horses for courses :) Reply
cknobman - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkZBOX nano AD10 Reply
cjs150 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkInitial reviews look very promising although probably best to get the bare bones version and kit out with own memory and an SSD.
When available I am going to get one and play with it to see how well it works Reply
icrf - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkAgreed. It's likely less than half the price, and I can do without an optical drive. I plan to run Windows, so the Linux driver situation around AMD's video decoding hardware don't apply, either (assuming that hasn't been straightened out since I last read about it).
Still, it is nice to have all that extra CPU power available for whatever the future brings. I'm just not sure it's going to be worth the several hundred dollars more they're likely going to be asking for it.
In any case, I'd still love to see a review here on the unit, comparing it to this one as a budget alternative. I am a big XBMC proponent (and Hulu Desktop), so I really liked seeing the detailed focus on it, something I'd like to see carried forward in future HTPC reviews. Reply
casteve - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkpage 3, GPU paragraph:
"However, WiDi is supported by the CoreHT 252B. "
I think you meant to say NOT supported.
Great article! Thanks, Ganesh. Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkThansk! Fixed. Reply
jensend - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkIf somebody made a system like this with a 65W Llano, esp. an A8-3800, I'd be all over it. Mobile Llano would be ok as well. (Barebones would be nice- I'd like to put in my own small ssd, and I have no need for Blu-Ray.) Reply
Foggg - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkI thought there was a chance that ASRock's next level "Vision 3D series" which Ganesh referred to was possibly so-named because of AMD's "Vision" labeling for the Llano's.
No such luck. That series has mobile i7's/i5's/i3's paired with Nvidia's GT425M. Guaranteed to be pricier than a mobile Llano. And for most, unnecessary, given this uses for this thing. Reply
smdx - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkFollowing the last comment, is there any news on a possible update for the ZInoHD 410 line? (I guess they will be using Llano on their next lineup)
Last year model was presented in September 2010...
Don't know in Anandtech has any feedback on this... Reply
jabber - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkYeah would be nice. I got one in for a customer and he loves it. I thought it a great bit of kit. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkI would like to see performance and power consumption comparisons to a desktop running an i3-2105. I suspect they are close, even though the i3 costs significantly less. My scam radar is going off like crazy here. Since when is a small form factor worth that much? Why not just buy a notebook and use that as your HTPC???? That is a much higher volume product and thus it is highly likely you'll be able to find one on sale for cheaper than this product. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkJust saw these on slickdeals:
Sony VPC EG13FX/B 14" Notebook - i5 / 500GB / 4GB RAM - $549 @ Frys
(New) ThinkPad Edge E420/ i5-2520M/ Win7 HP 64/ 2GB/ 320GB/ 9-Cell for $488 @ lenovo outlet Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkYes, a laptop can be a portable HTPC nowadays.
As you say, pricing is just a matter of scale. I would expect this to weigh in around the 500 - 600 range. Laptops are mass produced. So, they have an advantage there. Reply
justniz - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkI'm looking for a mythtv frontend.
But this thing has Intel graphics and you can't buy it without windows.
What stupid marketing decisions. I think I'll pass.
I would have bought one if they had a nVidia GPU and a no-OS or Linux option. Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkThere is a no-OS option. (in fact, that is what will be sold mostly)
For Linux drivers.. well, let us not go down that road right now. Reply
martajd - Sunday, September 04, 2011 - linkRead the article. It CLEARLY says in the specifications chart "Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (Retail unit is barebones)"

DaveSimmons - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkItem#: N82E16856158025, that's pretty high for no Windows or blu-ray software.($87 for PowerDVD). Reply
ganeshts - Friday, September 02, 2011 - linkIf this is anything like the Vision 3D, I bet the price will definitely go down, or there will be a rebate / combo deal of some sort to sweeten things up. I stand by what I said in the review.. if they get the price down to the Core 100's launch price, I will have no hesitation in recommending the unit. Reply
ypsylon - Saturday, September 03, 2011 - linkExternal power supply is instant kill for any HPTC system. What is the point of SFF if you have to use external PSU? You can't move the case without moving PSU.
No thank you AsRock. Small Lian-Li cube will do nicely. Reply

Intel is pretty good for the average consumer. If you are a stickler for image and video quality, go with AMD, and if you want the best of freeware / open source software to do the work for you, go with NVIDIA. Reply

Ganeshts, what system would you recommend for Linux + XBMC then ? Reply
Penti - Wednesday, September 07, 2011 - linkI none integrated solution would be my suggestion. But pure XBMC machine you would probably get by with ION-NG or the like. But for a moment disregarding that. You can't get a decent CPU (still some need for software decoding, or transcoding) and a decent GPU (that can do video decoding and postprocessing or well drivers to handle OGL and VDPAU in XBMX/Linux case, as well as audio properly) otherwise. I'm sure Ganesh can agree on that point.
That means that there are a lot of options and combinations as well as cases, sizes and so on. But don't expect stuff to be trouble free anywhere when it comes to stuff like this. Reply
Googer - Thursday, September 08, 2011 - linkI think hitachi cinemastar hard drives might have been a better pick due to their claim of quieter, lower power, and 24/7 operating abilities. Reply
Googer - Thursday, September 08, 2011 - linkThe lack of a TUNER or CABLEcard Slot or even a free pci-e slot for DVR use makes this HTPC a tad less appealing. Reply

Zinc oxide is a mineral.
Zinc oxide topical (for the skin) is used to treat diaper rash, minor burns, severely chapped skin, or other minor skin irritations.
Zinc oxide rectal suppositories are used to treat itching, burning, irritation, and other rectal discomfort caused by hemorrhoids or painful bowel movements.
Zinc oxide topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to zinc, dimethicone, lanolin, cod liver oil, petroleum jelly, parabens, mineral oil, or wax.
Zinc oxide topical will not treat a bacterial or fungal infection. Call your doctor if you have any signs of infection such as redness and warmth or oozing skin lesions.
It is not known whether zinc oxide topical will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether zinc oxide topical passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without medical advice if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using zinc oxide rectal suppositories and call your doctor if you have rectal bleeding or continued pain.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Avoid applying other skin medications on the same treatment area with zinc oxide, unless your doctor has told you to.
Avoid getting this medication in your mouth or eyes. If this does happen, rinse with water right away. Do not use zinc oxide topical on deep skin wounds or severe burns. Get medical attention for more severe skin irritation or injury.
It is not likely that other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on topically applied zinc oxide. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Apply enough of this medication to cover the entire area to be treated. Zinc oxide often leaves a thin white residue that may not be entirely rubbed in.
To treat chapped skin, minor burn wounds, or other skin irritations, use the medication as often as needed. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and rub in gently.
To treat diaper rash, use this medication each time the diaper is changed. It is especially important to apply the medication at bedtime or whenever there will be a long period of time between diaper changes.
Keep the diaper area clean and dry to prevent worsening of skin rash. Change wet diapers as soon as possible. Allow the skin to dry thoroughly before putting on a fresh diaper.
When using the powder form of this medicine, pour the powder slowly to avoid a large puff into the air. Do not allow a baby to handle a powder bottle during use. Always close the lid after using the powder.
Zinc oxide rectal suppositories come with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Wash your hands before and after inserting a rectal suppository.
Try to empty your bowel and bladder just before using the suppository. Cleanse and dry your rectal area thoroughly.
Remove the outer wrapper from the suppository before inserting it. Avoid handling the suppository too long or it will melt in your hands.
For best results, stay lying down after inserting the suppository and hold it in your rectum for a few minutes. The suppository will melt quickly once inserted and you should feel little or no discomfort while holding it in.
Stop using this medication and call your doctor if your condition does not improve within 7 days of treatment.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the tube cap tightly closed when not in use.
You may store zinc oxide rectal suppositories in a refrigerator to prevent melting.
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Since zinc oxide is used on an as needed basis, you are not likely to miss a dose. Using extra zinc oxide to make up a missed dose will not make the medication more effective.

PHILADELPHIA – With a young team that continues to improve every week, the University of Pennsylvania gymnastics squad heads to Yale this Saturday. In a matchup of Ivy schools, the Quakers are looking for their first win of 2014
Penn finished fourth in the season opener at George Washington and dropped a dual meet against Illinois State last weekend, but despite the results, the team has seen its score improve each competition.
Sophomore Carissa Lim and junior Amber Woo have added events to help solidify the Penn rotation, while the Quakers have also relied on the senior leadershipof Nicki Valenti, and their only current all-arounder, Diana Moock in the early stages of the year.
In addition, freshmen Kelly Tan and Rachel Graham have stepped in nicely, earning great experience, while fellow teammates have been working on returning from injury.
Pennwas in the same position lastseason, looking for its first win, and defeated Yale, 191.525-187.900.
The meet will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday in Payne Whitney Gym in New Haven, Conn.

Electrical Enclosures
Batteries and inverters need to be installed as close as possible to each other because of the high currents/large wire sizes used. If flooded lead-acid batteries are used, off-gassing must be considered. Fumes that come from batteries are corrosive and will damage equipment, so battery enclosures must be vented to the outside. Most of our electrical enclosures are built to accommodate specific inverters so be sure to indicate which inverter will be used at time of order. These enclosures facilitate DC connections and connections to inverter/chargers by providing DC circuit breakers for the power inverter and solar charge controller as well as AC connection points for inverters - busbars for input from generator and output to AC distribution panel. These enclosures also facilitate ground fault protection for the solar PV array for code compliance on roof-mounted arrays. Be sure to order the correct GFI breaker for your system. For help choosing the right electrical enclosure, our Tech Desk is available to help at 800-919-2400.
"Some of the nicer off-grid setups we've seen have the battery enclosure on one side of a wall, and the inverter and other equipment on the other side, making for a very short inverter cable run."

Q & A — August 2002
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Cool Under Pressure
| Pressure-testing
a closed cooling system, rewiring an upgraded charging system, and gasket
freshwater section of the closed cooling system on my 1997 3.0L stern
drive requires frequent topping off. What could be wrong, and is there
a troubleshooting method you can recommend? A.L. via e-mail
Remove the pressure (fill) cap from the heat exchanger or expansion tank and wash it with clean water to remove debris and deposits from its sealing surfaces. Check its gasket (if so equipped) and rubber seal for cuts, cracks, tears, or deterioration. Also ensure the cap's locking tabs are not damaged or bent. If any of these conditions exists, replace the cap, and keep a spare onboard.
If the cap appears fine, immerse in a bucket of water and attach a cooling-system pressure tester using the proper adapter supplied with the tool. (You can purchase a tester at any auto parts store.) Pump up the pressure to 14 psi. If the cap fails to hold the pressure at 11 psi or higher for 30 seconds, replace it.
Next inspect the filler neck seat and sealing surface for nicks, dents, or distortion. Wipe the sealing surface with a clean cloth. If you notice corrosion or embedded grit, remove it with an emery cloth. Also make sure the locking tabs are not damaged.
Now check the coolant level; it should be within an inch of the top of the filler neck. Connect the pressure tester to the filler neck and pump it to 17 psi. If the pressure does not hold constant for at least two minutes, you have a leak in the system. Check all hoses, gaskets, drain plugs, drain valves, core plugs, and other potential leak points for signs of weeping, and listen for hissing or bubbling while the system is under pressure.
If you don't find leaks, disconnect the raw-water outlet hose from the heat exchanger and again pressurize the system to 17 psi while paying attention to the outlet connection on the heat exchanger. If you see water flowing from the connection or bubbles in the water or hear bubbling or hissing, there is probably a leak between the freshwater and seawater sections within the heat exchanger.
If you
still don't find leaks and the coolant level continues to require
frequent topping off, you probably have an internal leak. Possible causes:
a faulty gasket in the cylinder head, intake manifold, or exhaust elbow;
leakage around the distributor bolts; or a cracked or porous head, block,
or manifold.

LAST winter's flooding crisis in Worcestershire bought the whole county together - but more needs to be done to protect vulnerable homes.
That's the verdict from Worcester City Council, which has just published a report on how the recovery has gone five months on.
Back in February 108 homes and 55 businesses were flooded after water levels rose to their highest since 2007.
During the crisis, the main Worcester Bridge had to be closed and £640,000 of taxpayers' money went on a mammoth recovery operation.
The city council's scrutiny committee has met to discuss what lessons can be learned now several months have passed.
During the debate, it emerged that the city council has now handed over a total of £80,000 to Worcester traders in grants to help them fully recover from the lost business.
The role of social media like Twitter was also praised for helping people communicate far better than in 2007.
Councillor Joy Squires, Worcester's Labour parliamentary candidate, said: "For me, what I have really noticed since the floods is how very senior officers from a wide range of organisations have been communicating among themselves on Twitter to find out what's going on.
"That started when the floods came and it's carried on - another good example at how they are communicating better was the SOS Fest at Pitchcroft last week, which was phenomenally well attended."
During the debate she also said more focus needs to be on protecting areas like Diglis and the riverside.
"In Diglis the influx of sewage into properties was probably the most awful aspect of the flooding, I wonder what is being done to help there," she said. "We're always talking of the importance of the riverside, is more help needed to reduce flooding there?"
Councillor Lynn Denham said: "A significant percentage of homes affected were social housing - it's worth noting that many landlords took responsibility for their 'own tent', if they didn't then there would have been a far higher cost to the council."
Worcestershire County Council has revealed funding of £1.5 million will be available this year for more flood defences and other alleviation work.
The Government has also handed Worcestershire £700,000 towards flooding as part of a £47 million package to help the county's economy, to be spent on New Road.

THE last stage of work which has seen large sections of York city centre dug up will start today.
The six-week phase will take place in Goodramgate and St Maurice's Road as part of a £750,000 project to replace ageing metal gas mains in York city centre.
The Northern Gas Networks project, which started in June, will have seen a total of 1.2km of metallic pipe replaced with more durable plastic pipes by the time it is finished.
So far work has been carried out in High Ousegate, Pavement, Parliament Street and Coppergate, which closed the streets to traffic in September and October, as well as areas including Hull Road, Cemetery Road and Bishopthorpe Road.
The final phase of the work will be carried out in Lawrence Street in the spring, and will take about four weeks.
Garry Farnhill, customer operations area manager, said: "Every stage of our work has been carried out in close consultation with City of York Council, and we have taken every precaution possible to minimise disruption to residents, tourists, motorists and business owners.
"Our engineers will be working from 7am to 7pm to minimise the time we will be working in the area. However, in order to maintain access to busy streets during the day, it will be necessary to carry out some overnight work on Goodramgate. We hope to complete these works over three nights, and will finish work by 11pm.
"Due to the nature of our work, it will be necessary for lane closures to be put in place in St Maurice Road on January 20 and for temporary traffic lights to be installed.
"Access for deliveries will be maintained throughout the work. However, parking for Blue Badge holders will be suspended in Goodramgate and Colliergate.
"We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience this essential work may cause."
A meeting will be held between 5pm and 6pm tomorrow at the Black Swan Inn, Peasholme Green, for the public to ask any questions of Northern Gas Networks. Its cabin in Deangate will also be open Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11am to 1pm.

Electricity customers may not have to pay roughly $1 billion in annual costs related to the offline San Onofre Nuclear Generation Station, pending the results of an investigation approved by the California Utilities Commission on Thursday.
The nuke plant has been offline since January, taking with it 20 percent of San Diego County's power supply. Under state law, when a major piece of electricity equipment goes dark for nine months or more, customers no longer necessarily have to pay its costs. At its meeting Thursday, the California Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously to investigate whether or not customers or shareholders of Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric Co. will pay for the plant while not operating.
"The investigation will allow this commission to assess where the fault is in this outage," said Timothy Simon, one of the PUC commissioners.
Two new generators installed in 2010 cost ratepayers $671 million, plus a mandated rate of return to shareholders of the two utilities, according to the commission's order. But problems with both new generators in January triggered the plant shutdown, forcing the region to enact emergency conservation measures and press retired natural gas generators into service.
As the outage lengthened, the commission geared up to launch an investigation to determine who is at fault for the problems and who should pay for them — ratepayers or shareholders of Edison and SDG&E.
SDG&E spokeswoman Jennifer Ramp said the utility had been expecting the investigation for some time.
"SCE is committed to ensuring the safety and security of critical generation assets such as San Onofre," Ron Litzinger, president of Edison said in a written statement.
Earlier this month, Edison applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to restart one of the reactors at partial strength. But it is not clear when, or if, the reactors will return to service.
So far in 2012, Edison has paid $820 million to maintain the plant, said Chris Chow, a spokesman for the commission. Chow didn't have a figure for SDG&E, but in the past the utility has said it owes $185 million a year. Investigators will review whether and how much of that money should be covered by ratepayers. In a typical year, Southern California Edison pays $650 million, but there have been additional costs this year, said Jennifer Manfre, an Edison spokeswoman.
Edison owns 78 percent of the plant and operates it. SDG&E owns 20 percent and and the city of Riverside owns the rest.
"It has become increasingly clear that nuclear power is not cost effective," said Damon Moglen, energy and climate director at Friends of the Earth, a group pushing to close the plant.
Typically ratepayers would only be able to recover costs from the date of the investigation, but in a twist, ratepayers could potentially get every dollar lost since the outage. Both utilities are involved in protracted negotiations to raise their base electric rates, which are now 10 months overdue. The delay forced the utilities to track all their costs in special accounts starting on Jan. 1, when the new rates would normally have kicked in.
The order for investigation also:
•Requires Edison to get permission for capital projects at the plant that cost more than $10 million
•Requires monthly reports on operations and costs that will be part of the public record
•Requires both utilities to track all San Onofre related expenses, lost revenues that would have come from selling excess power, and costs from programs and electricity purchases made necessary by the plant's closure.
The investigation could take years to complete. The order allowed 18 months for the investigation to conclude, but the clock doesn't start until a prehearing conference that would take place early next year.

THE headteacher of one of Thurrock's only failing secondary schools has spoken exclusively to the Gazette about how he is turning things around.
James Howarth started as head of the Hathaway Academy in Grays - formerly known as the Grays Media Arts College - in September, just months after the school assumed academy status.
The Academy Transformation Trust, a charitable company which looks after 16 schools across the UK, now helps manage the school.
Mr Howarth is working closely with the trust to drive improvement at the school.
After one term, he has worked to increase attendance, with pupils now at school 95 per cent of the time, 2.5 per cent higher than in September. The introduction of a house system has helped too, Mr Howarth claims, as it has given pupils a greater sense of belonging and inter-school competition.
He explained: "The houses are called self worth, purpose and enagement, with each house designated a charity that they raise money for."
He added: "I maintain the ethos that if you build it, they will come.
"School has to be a place pupils enjoy coming to.
"It's about getting kids involved and engaging with them through good teaching. Then they don't question whether they want to be here or not."
Mr Howarth said that becoming an academy has given him the autonomy to make changes to the curriculum and manage the budget to suit the needs of the school, rather than the local authority saying how the money should be spent.
He said: "For me, the key thing about being an academy is the autonomy to spend my budget in an appropriate way to support teaching, progress, attainment and learning.
"I can set a curriculum that suits the need of our community.
"Take the High House Production Park for instance – I can set a curriculum that will maximise the opportunity for employment there or at the new port.
"Then there's the right that being an academy gives me and the school to have a vision and a purpose."
Mr Howarth is also keen to learn from the borough's teaching schools: William Edwards, the Harris Academy and Dilkes, three "outstanding" schools which are qualified to pass on the wisdom of their success.
And he is now working with Grays primary schools, like Little Thurrock, to establish relationships that will make pupils' path through primary school to secondary school more seamless. Again improving standards.
By September, the Hathaway Academy could have a post-16 offering, tailor-made for its students based on the GCSEs they are taking now.
Mr Howarth said: "There is so much opportunity here in Thurrock and schools have to play a significant part. We need to create aspirational students and have something for children to aim for here in Thurrock."
*In 2012, just 35.1 per cent of the school's leavers obtained five or more GCSEs at A* to C including Maths and English.
*In 2013, that figure rose to 39 per cent - 54 per cent less than the borough's top performing secondary school, the Harris Academy - one of the best peforming schools in the country.
*In 2007, the school was found to be "inadequate" by Ofsted and placed in special measures.
*In 2009 and 2011, the school showed signs of improvement, but was still only "satisfactory".
*In December 2013, Ofsted placed Thurrock in the top 20 per cent for secondary education across the whole of England.

>Gears and Wears>Nike Free
I've been slowly getting over a bad case of plantar fasciitis. When I was vacationing this August, I did a lot of barefoot beach walking. To my surprise, this really seemed to help a lot. I figured that this was a form of stretching the fascia. I later figured that running with the Free's would have the same effect and I do think this helped.
Even if they don't work out for running, they'd make great slippers (they're really comfortable).
I liked the way these shoes felt. I completed a marathon in them without problem. They were even comfortable while completing their last run after the sidewall blew out on the right foot. The shoes are now retired after logging 453 miles. The left shoe showed signs of imminent sidewall failure too. Perhaps it is the way I land. I had a pair of Asics that passed 1100+ though and have never had any other shoe blow out on the side -- so I may try something by Merrell. I don't know. Four hundred miles for a pair of shoes is not a good value proposition.
I've had Free's in the rotation for a while now and have also had PF problems.
I now wear Free's around the office most days and for walks. For runs I use an insert to provide support. It just seems to work out better for me to go minimal on walking around and then get something to remove the stress on the fascia during running. Some day when PF is a year behind me and I am 10 pounds lighter I'll probably eliminate the insert for flat runs.
I've always liked my Free's and they've held up well for me. The pair I am wearing right now was purchased over 2 years ago.
I do think I developed some problems (achilles tendonitis and possibly the PF) from doing hill work and so I'll probably steer clear of anything minimal when doing hills. I don't think my body is cut out for minimal on hills as I run too much on the front of the foot and something like Free's without support seem to be a problem.
In an infinite universe, the one thing sentient life cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion
Half Fanatic #846
Wow - that photo looks like a manufacturing defect to me, maybe not stitched/glued right??
I used Nike Frees for 18 months or so: a pair of solid black 5.0s for work that helped strengthen my feet a lot, and later a pair of 3.0s that helped me transition to barefoot running. I got well over 600 miles from the 3.0s - both pairs felt a little like wearing slippers. All this to try and get rid of chronic PF, which worked for me. I think the Frees would feel really good just for a casual shoe as well.
"I don't always roll a joint, but when I do, it's usually my ankle" - unk. Run like the winded
I ran half my last race on my left foot! "Frankly autocorrect, I'm getting a bit tired of your shirt"
What happened to your a, brefootbill?
I think they have pretty great cushion, but it depends on what you mean exactly. The cushion holds up well and isn't too hard or too soft. I think the bigger potential problem has to do with how you make impact in the shoes. They have a lower heel-to-toe offset compared to normal trainers. This means the Achilles/calves need more elasticity in order to run in them without straining or tugging on a tendon or muscle. Forefoot/midfoot strikes with a good history of not relying on their heels probably won't have any problem. Others with tight calves or a shortened Achilles will find some strain while running in them. Running is a sport of repetitive stress, so any problem will be made worse the longer you run on it. Most people can get away with doing a few miles in them once in a while. Far fewer people can get away with running in them on a daily basis and for long distances.
I find that minimal shoes perform pretty well on trails and grass. It's hard to find one that does well on road, though, since they usually have less cushion. The Frees are in my mind one of the few minimalist pairs of shoes that still feel good on road. If you need supreme flexibility, then they might be the way to go. If you're just looking for a faster shoe or something lower to the ground, plenty of racing shoes can do that for you. The Frees aren't your only option.
This thread reminds me of this classic thread, over at letsrun. NIKE FREE ME's posts begin on page 3.

"She's a maniac, maaaaniac on the _____."
If you can complete that sentence, then you're part of the coveted demographic that "Flashdance the Musical" is aiming for. It's been 30 years since the hit movie about a blue-collar girl named Alex with big dancing dreams turned baggy sweatshirts, fuzzy leg warmers, wild hair and welding into the coolest things on earth.
The producers of the new musical, visiting O.C.'s Segerstrom Center for the Arts through May 19 on its national pre-Broadway tour, are banking on fond "Flashdance" memories to motivate the movie's fans, now well into middle age, to give it a sweaty, nostalgic second embrace.
Judging by the full house on Wednesday, that strategy is working. What doesn't work so well is the musical itself.
The biggest problem with any show that presents long-dead popular culture non-ironically is the unintentional giggle factor. Screenwriter/director Lawrence Kasdan said he eliminated a large flashback section from "The Big Chill" because it was impossible to present the 1960s without making those years of excess look like a goofy parody.
Sergio Trujillo, "Flashdance's" talented director and choreographer, faces the same problem. The early '80s is not a chapter in pop-culture history that was destined to age well. From our vantage point, Alex's exuberant moves (not to mention her attempts at break dancing) can be titter-inducing. Trujillo and his creative team need to acknowledge such moments, allowing us to laugh a bit at '80s over-the-top-ness. It wouldn't detract from the story.
But that story needs to be told economically; it isn't "War and Peace." Writers Tom Hedley (who came up with the movie's concept and screenplay) and Robert Cary give us too much of it. Sure, it's great to flesh out Alex's boss and boyfriend, Nick, who in the movie spent most of his time staring like a love-struck golden retriever at Alex during her unhinged dance routines.
But now we have an additional major subplot: Nick is bravely trying to save the steel mill where Alex works, a battle that takes up too much time in this 21/2-hour show. It's nice to know Nick is a standup guy who's concerned about all of his employees, not just a thoughtless boss who chases after the prettier ones, and it gives Nick and Alex parallel stories about pursuing a dream, but this part of the plot needs trimming.
Other more successful changes include a bunch of new songs by Toronto-based composer Robbie Roth. They're nicely done, revealing character, advancing the plot and sounding uncannily like authentic 1980s anthems, ballads and rock tunes.
The performances are solid, for the most part. Matthew Hydzik brings the requisite rich-boy smooth handsomeness to Nick, and he owns a powerful and expressive tenor voice. Among the show's many talented supporting actresses are a couple of standouts: golden-throated Dequina Moore as Kiki, one of the dancers at the club where Alex works (Moore tears up "Manhunt"); and Kelly Felthous as Alex's best friend Gloria.
Alex must carry the show, and unfortunately Jillian Mueller isn't quite up to the task. Her singing voice is pinched and fairly small, and her dancing, while adequate, doesn't take our breath away the way Alex's moves should. Mueller needs to be more sharp, confident and energized.
Granted, Jennifer Beals had the benefit of doubles and spectacular film editing in the movie, which makes it impossible for any live performer to equal her kinesthetic tricks as Alex. But Mueller's stage presence and her moderate skills aren't equal to the gargantuan role.
Mueller is new to Alex; she has replaced Emily Padgett for the remainder of the tour. Perhaps she will grow into it, but in the meantime she compares unfavorably to a raft of supporting performers with dynamite singing, dancing and acting chops.
Visually, "Flashdance" is a knockout. Scenic designer Klara Zieglerova and projection designer Peter Nigrini take the relatively new technology of multiple projections to new heights. The stage is saturated with fast-moving images, some of them snippets of Reagan-era icons such as Madonna, others simply enlarged video versions of the performers. It's quite a light show.
This musical's problems aren't insurmountable. Hedley mentioned that changes will be made for the Broadway production. If they're the right ones, "Flashdance" could be a reliable crowd-pleaser, catering to those of us who still wistfully keep a pair of fuzzy leg warmers stashed in the bottom drawer.

AN award-winning Ribble Valley park has been 'transformed' after new play equipment was installed.
The facilities at John Smith's Playing Field in Longridge were condemned last October after a report was published by the borough council.
Now more than £24,000 has been spent revamping the play area after the council secured a grant from Gloucestershire-based Sita Trust.
Last year, the playing field was awarded diamond jubilee status alongside Clitheroe's Castle Park and Brungerley Park, protecting it for future generations.
After the original equipment was deemed 'no longer fit for purpose', The Longridge Social Enterprise Company identified improvements at the site as a priority for the town after a consultation with park users.
Ribble Valley Mayor, Coun Michael Ranson, was joined by his mayoress and year three, four, five pupils from Barnacre Primary School for the unveiling of the new 40-foot-long 'pirate's galleon'.
The galleon features a crawler tunnel, vertical climbing wall, rope bridge, deck slide, rope tower and climbing nets.
Coun Ranson said: "It's great to have this new facility for the youngsters of the local area and I think that it will be put to good use. We are lucky that we have a lot of sites like this in the Ribble Valley and this site has really been transformed from what it was.
"It's really tremendous that this project has been completed by the Sita Trust and the borough council and that it's now available for use."
Fiona Heppenstall, deputy head at Barnacre Primary School, in Longridge, said: "It's a lovely resource that allows the children to play carefully and instructively.
"It's brilliant and it's a real plus for the community.
"I would hope that the community takes responsibility for it now and makes sure that it doesn't get damaged or spoilt for the children who use it."

WASHINGTON —Louisiana's Poverty Point State Historic Site and its ancient mounds in West Carroll Parish are officially vying for a spot on the World Heritage List that includes such famous sites as the Taj Mahal, Stonehenge and the Grand Canyon.
Outgoing U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced Thursday the nomination that was prepared by the state and the National Park Service. The nomination was submitted to the World Heritage Centre in Paris. The world list includes 962 sites in 157 countries, but only 21 in the U.S.
"The Poverty Point earthworks are the remarkable legacy of a prehistoric hunter-gatherer society that existed thousands of years ago," Salazar said in the announcement. "Designation as a World Heritage Site not only would be an honor for both Louisiana and the United States, but also would be an invitation to domestic and international travelers …"
Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne said this effort has been in the works for a while and that he is "optimistic" Poverty Point will be added to the list when a final decision is made in 2014. Being the "No. 1" recommended site by the federal government certainly helps, he said.
"This is a huge story, not only for Louisiana, but especially for northeastern Louisiana — an area of the state that is in dire need of economic development," Dardenne said.
Poverty Point's ancient Native American mounds were built more than 3,000 years ago around 1500 B.C. or even older. It would take about 50 versions of Stonehenge put together to recreate the size of the Poverty Point mounds, said T.R. Kidder, a Washington University in St. Louis archaeologist and anthropologist who has extensively studied the northeastern Louisiana site.
"I'm very excited," Kidder said Thursday. "It's high time one of the world's greatest archaeology sites is recognized for what it is."
Kidder has called Poverty Point "the New York of its time" and the "origin of civilization in North America."
It is believed the mounds were built in roughly 90 days with a lot of people in a very organized fashion, Kidder said, and the mounds prove that a "life of deep complexity and sociopolitical activity" existed back then. The Native Americans were much more than just hunters and gatherers, he said, they were building their versions of "cathedrals."
The Poverty Point site consists of six enormous, concentric earthen ridges with an outer diameter of more than a half mile, and several large mounds, including one of the largest in North America, according to the Interior Department. This constructed landscape was the largest and most elaborate of its time on the continent. The particular form of the complex is not duplicated anywhere else in the world.
"Our collective history is richer and deeper than we give it credit for," Kidder said. "(North American) history didn't begin with the Mayflower.
"We, as a culture, tend to overlook our Native American ancestry," he added.
Poverty Point is far too overlooked, Kidder said, and will hopefully receive more recognition as a tourist site.
"I think the biggest problem, personally, is that it's not built of stone," he said. "People just see it in a different kind of way."
Kidder credited the state of Louisiana with taking great care of the site.
"Designation as a World Heritage Site is how the international community shines a light on the places that should be special to all of us," said National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis. "This nomination of Poverty Point earthwork is an important way to share what we value as a people, the places that define our society."
U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., also praised the nomination.
"Poverty Point, a remnant of a society from thousands of years ago, is an impressive example of Louisiana's rich culture and history," Vitter said in a prepared statement. "I applaud the State of Louisiana and National Park Service for recognizing the importance of this Louisiana treasure, and the amazing accomplishments of the ancient earthwork featured at Poverty Point will hopefully soon be recognized and appreciated across the country and internationally."
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage List is part of the World Heritage Convention, an international treaty signed by 190 countries for natural site conservation and cultural site preservation first proposed by the U.S. in 1972.
After reviews by World Heritage Centre staff and by the International Council for Monuments and Sites, the nomination will be considered for inscription on the World Heritage List by the World Heritage Committee, which is a rotating body of 21 nations elected from among the signatories of the World Heritage Convention.
Inscription as a World Heritage Site does not impose any legal restrictions on property owners or neighbors of sites, nor does it give the United Nations any management authority or ownership rights in U.S. World Heritage Sites, which continue to be subject only to existing federal and local laws.
Two other potential nominations of U.S. sites are now in development: the San Antonio Franciscan Missions in Texas, and 11 buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright located throughout the U.S.

so listen up baby
These are a couple of pages from my travel Moleskine. This drawing has become a dumping ground for all sorts of odds and sods; stickers, stamps, tickets, labels. I'm not sure that I've finished with it. It lacks something. Something that I can't put my finger on. Yet. Some of the pieces on the pin board are movable, they lift up or across. I was trying to create a pop up, of sorts, but it seems I can't get my head around the kind of paper engineering that that would call for.
So the question is can you spot the difference? There's one small fluffy difference between these two uploads. Can you chuffing well spot it?
Yes. He's only holding a bloody chick!!!

Self-taught maverick of design Tom Dixon made his name creating innovative designs inspired by the unique heritage of British industry.
Tunisian born, Dixon has lived in Britain since the age of 4. He founded the design company "Tom Dixon" in 2002 and is now regarded as a protagonist in the design firmament. Entirely committed to innovation, Dixon combines the creative with the commercial.
Tom Dixon fell into design by accident when he found himself with "time on his hands" while recovering from a motorcycle accident. He taught himself how to become a designer-maker in 1983 after discovering welding when trying to repair his motorbike. He was head of design at Habitat and continues to work as creative director of Artek, the Finnish furniture manufacturer founded by Alvar Aalto in the 1930s. His work is included in collections of the world's leading museums, including London Design Museum, the V&A, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and Moma in New York.
The Rug Company launched its collection with Tom Dixon in 2009 with a specially created pop-up tent installation at Portobello Dock, a wharf converted by Dixon into what is now a must-visit on the London design trail. The Tom Dixon rug collection encapsulates The Rug Company's commitment to combining forward-thinking rug designs with handmade craftsmanship.
