DURBAN: Young fly-half Patrick Lambie scored all the Sharks' points as they triumphed 28-16 against the Highlanders on Saturday in the Super 15 at ABSA Stadium.
Springbok Lambie converted his try mid-way through the second half of an infringement-infested match in the Indian Ocean city after succeeding with all seven penalty attempts for a home team who led 15-9 at half-time.
The 28-point haul lifted the season tally of the 21-year-old in the southern hemisphere provincial championship to 108 -- 41 less than leader and fellow Bok Morne Steyn from the Bulls.
Steyn played fly-half and Lambie full-back for the Springboks in the 2011 rugby World Cup and they are likely to fill the same positions against visiting England during June's three-Test series.
Asked which position he preferred after his match-winning performance against the injury-plagued visitors from Dunedin, Lambie said that decision was up to the national selectors.
"While I enjoy the responsibility of playing fly-half, I would be more than happy to play full-back," he said before receiving the man of the match award in wet conditions.
Sharks eighthman and skipper Keegan Daniel praised the baby-faced pivot.
"Patrick has a great head on his shoulders and his tactical kicking was the difference between the teams," he said.
Highlanders prop and captain Jamie MacKintosh offered no excuses as his team failed to build on a dramatic victory over Central Cheetahs in Bloemfontein last weekend, when they overcame a 21-point deficit.
"The Sharks are a quality team who kicked well and defended superbly," he said.
"I really enjoyed the physicality of this match, but it is pretty disappointing to come away without any points."
MacKintosh had good reason to be disappointed as Highlanders won far more possession than the Sharks, but fly-half Mike Delany lacked the accuracy of Lambie, missing two penalty shots in quick succession during the first half.
Lambie slotted five penalties and Delany three during a first half constantly interrupted by the shrill of the whistle and referee Steve Walsh lost his patience on 32 minutes and sent Sharks flank Jacques Botes to the sin bin.
It was an unlucky half for the New Zealanders, with flank Doug Tietjens and replacement Elliot Dixon retiring injured and right wing Siale Piutau needing extensive treatment.
Highlanders edged ahead 11 minutes into the second half when replacement wing Kurt Baker went over for a soft try that Delany converted, but Lambie slotted two more penalties for a 21-16 lead before the Sharks' only try.
Highlanders left wing Hosea Gear failed to field a Daniel kick ahead and Lambie was perfectly placed to dot down and converted from almost in front of the posts.
The losers remain fifth in the combined standings with 34 points, while Sharks moved up one place to seventh, two points behind record seven-time champions Canterbury Crusaders.
SHARKS 28 (Patrick Lambie try con 7 pens) bt HIGHLANDERS 16 (Kurt Baker try Michael Delany con 3 pens) at ABSA Stadium. Referee: Steve R. Walsh.

Ladies and gents, we give you the worst film of the year
In Silver Linings Playbook, Pat (Bradley Cooper) — a mentally unstable romantic and Philadelphia Eagles fan (as if those aren't all the same thing) — gets out of the loony bin a skosh too soon. He went in due to his nervous condition, to-wit: He nearly murdered a man who was buggering his wife, and went to a mental hospital rather than jail. But mom wants his home for the holidays and checks him out. Bad idea. Pat delusionally believes his wife still wants him back, and goes ape-shit all over the depressing 'burb where his parents (Robert DeNiro and Jacki Weaver, both slumming it shamefully) to prove he's worth having back. Problem is, every time he hears the song "My Cheri Amour," he gets violent. (The Stevie Wonder song that should set him off, though, is "Superstition" — his dad is a bookie who blames losses on the TV remotes not being properly aligned.)
Even the thumbnail description of this execrable piece of cinematic detritus sounds banal, and I'm not exaggerating to say my write-up is 10 times better than any 30-second stretch of SLP, which defiantly sets out from the opening scene to be the unchallenged Worst Film of the Year. It wins by a landslide.

BRIDGWATER Town manager Richard Fey is "looking forward" to getting the new season underway this weekend as the Robins take on promotion favourites Bashley at Fairfax Park on Saturday.
Fey has been encouraged by a number of impressive displays from his side during pre-season - which they rounded off with a 1-1 draw at Afan Lido on Saturday - and hopes his players can take their strong form into the opening weekend of the league season.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to Saturday and testing ourselves against a big club like Bashley, who are looking to return to the premier division at the first attempt.
"We have had them watched and know a bit about them and they have signed some good, proven players for this league.
"We are giving debut to a lot of new local players like Matt Hurley, Dave O'Hare, Ben John and James Byrne - as well as Ollie Chamberlain returning to his hometown club.
"We have had a good pre-season and only lost the once in six, to Bristol City, and have got through it without any injuries, which is what a manager wants this time of season.
"It has been well documented that the club is struggling with finances and we're still hoping someone out there will come forward to help us as a club, but I wasn't surprised to see us joint favourites for relegation with the bookies. "That only spurs me and my players on to prove the bookies wrong, just like we did last season.
"We are expecting and hoping for a big crowd and this season it is even more important for the supporters to come out in their numbers and get behind these local lads and make some noise, just like they did last season when we were on a good run."
A goal from new signing Dave O'Hare secured a hard-earn draw for Town at Afan Lido on Saturday.
Kick-off at Fairfax Park is 3pm on Saturday.

Westpac Bank will launch a fresh issue of hybrid shares, outlining plans to raise $500 million from investors for the notes that are scheduled to convert to ordinary shares within eight years.
The issue kicks off the latest round of hybrid share raisings, after a flurry of issues last year by large companies saw more than $7 billion sold to investors.
Hybrid shares pay a set interest rate, which usually tracks the price of debt, and after a set period convert into ordinary shares. Given they have bond-like features, paying a predictable yield, this makes them attractive to retail investors in times choppy markets.
The Westpac Capital Notes are fully paid, non-cumulative, convertible and redeemable and to be listed on the ASX. However the notes are subordinated to other forms of debt and unsecured. The notes also qualify as tier one capital under new banking rules known as Basel 3.
The notes will provide investors with a quarterly distribution rate calculated as the 90-day Bank Bill Rate plus a fixed margin, together multiplied the tax rate. The margin is expected to be in the range of 3.2 per cent to 3.4 per cent to be determined under the book build and will not change over the life of the notes.
Based on current pricing the distribution rate for the first period would be 4.33 per cent. Although the distributions are expected to be fully franked.
''The issue will further strengthen Westpac's Tier 1 Capital position. An issue of $500 million would add approximately 16 basis points to Tier 1 Capital", Westpac's chief financial officer, Phil Coffey said.
The notes will be sold to both institutional and retail investors and Westpac has left the door open to raise more under the offer.
Westpac has $1.04 billion of hybrid notes due to be redeemed in September this year and $910 million of hybrid notes due to be redeemed in September, 2014.
Hybrid securities are often a more attractive form of capital raising for bank shareholders as they do not dilute profit or dividends across ordinary shares. The Westpac offer is expected to open on February 7.

HOUSTON - Future country stars will be rocking the rodeo this year after winning a place on the Kids Country stage.
"I was so excited. I was like, 'Mom, I am going to sing at the rodeo!" said 14-year-old Madie Dean.
Madie, a Montgomery High School ninth-grader, is one of 20 semifinalists in the Rodeo Rockstar competition. More than 35,000 votes were cast to pick the semifinalists out 134 online auditions.
Erica Honore, 14, said she is excited to make the cut.
"I have been practicing everyday to perfect it, so when I walk off the stage I have no regrets," she said.
Ashley Austin, 18, entered the competition with a song she wrote herself. She hopes to move to Nashville.
Stratford senior Will Lynde is heading to Nashville and Belmont University in the fall. He said he submitted his online audition an hour before the contest closed and he is excited for the chance to perform.
You can see the semifinalists perform March 6th, 5 pm, at the Kids Country stage at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

The UI changes seem minor at best - new themes and Flip3d anti-aliasing do represent and improvement, but they're not really Vista's weakness at this point.
Shouldn't it be 'an'? Reply
Ingas - Saturday, July 29, 2006 - linkI can't understand how MS propose to sell this Vista.
For what?
Home users? Only for rotating windows? All other features I can have right now on XP.
Business users?? HAHAHAHA!!
stash - Sunday, July 30, 2006 - linkThere are tons of reasons for businesses to be very interested in Vista, in my mind, maybe even more than home users.
For one, there are twice as many group policies in Vista compared to XP. Over 3000.
Another thing that businesses are going to be very interested in is BitLocker. Federal Government agencies that I work with can't wait for this. The ability to store an EFS keypair on a smartcard is another huge thing for businesses. Network Access Protection (NAP) is another big interest.
The new install and imaging technology is very interesting to business that maintain desktop images, espcially when they may have to support multiple machine types. In Vista, you can have one image that will work on all of your hardware, and updating it is easy.
So when you post next time, try to know what you are talking about. Reply
RichUK - Monday, July 31, 2006 - linkWill users that use Vista be able to set different local GPO's for different users on a standalone PC? As you know XP pro local GPO's effect every user on a standalone PC with multiple users, unless a member of a domain.
That would be extremely handy if that is possible. Also the more GPO's the better, so an extra 3000 is brilliant for fine tuning users access. Reply

Just to clarify, its about 3000 total. XP has about 1500. Reply
ChronoReverse - Sunday, July 30, 2006 - linkAnd yet people predict things like Macs will suddenly make a comeback. Reply
Griswold - Sunday, July 30, 2006 - linkWords of wisdom... I bet these people see a perfect reason to use OSX and buy the anual updates - but certainly not any iteration of windows with several years in between. Reply
Zebo - Saturday, July 29, 2006 - linkI was using 2000 until Obilvion came out and it would not install on w2k. Bought XP and plan to keep it for 5-6 years as well. I'm a always a few years behind but that's nothing compared to where I work..about 250 machines all are w2k and we have a site licence for any MS stuff we want to install on any machine. Even new Dells that come in with XP on them the admins wipe and put 2k on.... needless to say I, we, the whole world maybe is'nt in any hurry for Vista with performance and bugs like that. Reply
RichUK - Saturday, July 29, 2006 - linklol, i work on a quite a few contracts, one of them being a 15,000 user base running in an NT4 environment :shocked; Now that is old school, but it works and is sufficient for what is required.
However, a new rollout is on the horizon with Dell's running XP. With cost and time aside, the biggest issue is with OS stability/reliability and quality of tech support when running immature platforms. From what I see now from my stand point XP is becoming the norm, as the platform is peeking in its maturity.
When vista comes along, I doubt companies will embrace it too quickly, since their tech support wont be up to speed (along with OS stability), this takes time, and could cost a company a lot of money trying to maintain full capacity on a low tolerance infrastructure. Reply
Elitist Snob - Tuesday, August 01, 2006 - linkI have you both beat. One of the local small businesses I do tech support for has several desktops running...Windows 3.1. But it gets even better; their data processing team is running entirely on original IBM PC/AT. Talk about vintage computing. Reply
Lord Evermore - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkIt's kind of funny that they didn't eliminate the hourglass cursor years ago. It just seems like a big taunt at the user, saying "hey, you're just sitting there waiting, tick tock tick tock". A rotating ring, or anything that is just a looping icon, is somewhat neutral by comparison, although a ring implies it's working and not getting anywhere.
Seems kind of dumb to make even the mouse cursors similar to OSX. It's like they're just begging people to point out how they are just copying Apple. Reply
stash - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkAll publically released builds of Vista are 'free' builds, and therefore contain no debugging code.
If you were running a checked build that does contain debugging code, trust me, you would know it. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkThe free build contains no debugging hooks in the kernel -- this doesn't mean that the beta drivers or userspace programs installed don't have their own internal debugging/logging/overhead that won't be there in a final release.
Derek Wilson Reply
Fissiongrid - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkAny "new" thing I've seen in Vista is a copy of OS X. Shows how stupid some people are, actually wanting to buy an OS with features you could have had 5 years ago. lawl Reply
saiku - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkCould I play all my FPS/RTS games on MAC 5 years ago? I want Vista because of DirectX 10 and DirectX 10 games. Reply
absynthe49 - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkI thought that Windows Vista was not going to run DirectX 9 natively... but that it would be run in an emulated layer.
Did something change... does vista now run DX9 natively
If it doesnt... then why are the 3D gaming marks surprising to anyone. If it is emulated.. those are very decent numbers. I thought the reason to leave DX9 behind was to get rid of overhead... change the driver model and clean things up. I had heard the expectation was that future graphics cards would be so much faster that emulating older games would be fast enough to hide the emulation.
Can someone please correct me if I am wrong because it blows my mind that anandtech is not mentioning this at all. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkDX9 will not be "emulated" ... i don't think that's really a term that can even be applied to APIs.
Yes, the driver model will be different, but Vista won't require DX10 -- it will require DX9. And even so, running a DX8 game won't require any kind of extra overhead to run. I'm really not sure where that idea is coming from.
I haven't been following this for a while, but a while ago MS said they were going to impliment OpenGL through DX -- this would add an extra step in the pipeline for OpenGL applications.
Derek Wilson Reply
ChronoReverse - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkThat's also been changed. OGL has full access to the hardware again as well as being compatible with the windowing system.
The only catch is that it requires new drivers from the hardware vendors Reply
RichUK - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkI have Vista Beta 2 (not installed yet), can i upgrade to the latest build, i.e. software automatic update or something, or is it a totally different procedure to get the latest build? Thanks.
P.S i have the Windows Vista Beta preview program, from MS as the DVD case set. Reply
Ryan Smith - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkNo, you can't upgrade. It has to be a fresh install. Reply
stash - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkNo it doesn't, upgrade from beta2 to 5472 is supported. Reply

ChronoReverse - Friday, July 28, 2006 - link
We would rather see more work go in to the internals of Vista, but with a large company like Microsoft, the "too many cooks" problem would likely apply. What we have seen of work done underneath so far is promising; the Vista UI is noticeably faster, overall performance is a little higher, UAC is finally becoming more friendly
What are the sort of internal changes that you'd like to see in Vista? The two items listed here are external items.
I'd like to know how well the new TCP/IP stack works, what the average overhead of the new driver model is, how much the caching technologies (SSHDs and USB flash boosts) improves the performance and where the breakeven point would be. There are a large number of under-the-hood changes implemented in Vista already.
Yet I keep hearing about how MS is only making cosmetic changes when people are simply looking at the cosmetic changes. If you're only looking at the surface, of course you'll only see the surface. Reply
mlittl3 - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkI agree. When are we going to see reviews about Vista's internal workings or what I like to call the actual purpose of an OS. Bundled applications are just there to hurt the competition. We don't need reviews of virus protections, DVD player, browser, media player, etc. What about how drivers are handled, what about support for SATA drives when installing Vista on a blank drive, what about network performance, the registry (if is still exists), etc.
I remember a time when an OS talked to the BIOS and allowed a user to have a good interface with the hardware of the computer in order to install third-party software. What ever happened to those, browserless, mediaplayerless, viruscanless, bundleless days of the OS. Reply
ChronoReverse - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkWell, the included applications are a great deal important to an OS.
For example, when people think about OSX, they think more about the applications that come with rather than the OS itself. The surface is always easier to see and critique.
That's why I personally don't feel that it's wrong for Microsoft to bundle applications with Windows. It should be expected even. What was wrong was integrating IE so tightly into the OS that it would be difficult/impossible to remove without breaking everything. Reply

yacoub - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkUntil gaming numbers are equal to or better than XP's, gamers have no reason to upgrade from XP aside from the temptation of future Vista-only releases.
What a shame that all signs point to us having to accept quite atrocious performance hits in gaming if we move to Vista. This just further ups the hardware requirements and thus the cost of PC gaming for all of us. Reply
trexpesto - Monday, July 31, 2006 - linkthe only thing keeping me on M$ O$ is games.

Otherwise, open office and FTW. Mac is just a non-starter.

"Whateva, I do what I want" Reply
Griswold - Sunday, July 30, 2006 - linkNo, the bottom line is, you shouldnt look at a beta without taking performance figures with alot of salt. Reply
mechBgon - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkHere's a potential reason for gamers to upgrade: if you have WinXP Home Edition, your support will be over two years after Vista comes out, just like Win98 support is now expired. Buying Vista in a pro-level version will get you another 10 years of product support. Reply
yacoub - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkwhat? that's just another reason even Home users have another two years before they'd be forced to upgrade. and for the majority of us on Pro, we'll likely be fine even longer.
That said, I would anticipate drivers improving performance a ton within 6-12 months of Vista's release, and that's right around the time I think most of us would transition over to it.
You know, give it some time to get the worst bugs and vulnerabilities worked out and the performance improved. Reply
TowerShield - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkWell that depends on if it is actually up to Microsoft or Nvidia and ATI. They did afterall change the graphics driver structure. Didn't it even take a while for Nvidia and ATI to reach equal performance on 64-bitt? Reply
ChronoReverse - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkI agree, it's because of the new driver model that this is happening. The vista drivers from ATi and Nvidia right now are still pretty dismal. Reply
Zoomer - Sunday, August 06, 2006 - linkPlus, they moved it to userspace instead of kernel space. That's bound to cause some performance loss.
Damn microsoft. Reply
deathwalker - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkIt's Microsoft..so we should expect something different? Reply
tuteja1986 - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkWell , Not really M$ fault on gaming. If you look back when Windows XP was about to released , alot of older game ran better on windows 98. Same people said the same thing "Untill Microsoft don't gaming performance i am not upgrading to windows XP"
I think the issue likes in Video driver where Nvidia and ATI tweak the crap out of it. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkInterestingly, back in the mid 90s, Microsoft did do something right.
Memory management in DOS games used to be a crazy difficult thing to do. Some games would need a certain ammount of base memory free in order to run, which could be difficult. One of those games happened to be Wing Commander III.
Not only did WC3 run more easily under Windows 95 than under DOS, but it ran faster and with higher stability.
Of course it's all been down hill since then.
But please guys -- this is an interim release of Beta quality software with beta drivers all around. Let's hold off on passing any final judgements and just take this for what it is: a peak into where MS is with development so far.
Derek Wilson Reply
PrinceGaz - Friday, July 28, 2006 - linkThat is not true, compatibility with totally new Windows kernels has been down to Microsoft's desire to include backward compatibility.
Around about the 1998-2001 era, most games ran poorly if at all on Windows 2000 unless specifically designed with them in mind as well as Win98/ME. Only a few developers included NT/2000 as a supported platform so you were out of luck if you expected games to run on it. But around when Windows XP was released, Windows 2000 SP2 suddenly increased compatibility with large numbers of games and the Application Compatibility Toolkit plus a command-line fix to enable selection of compatibility modes (something MS didn't automatically enable by default presumably because they wanted people to buy XP which included it by default) made Windows 2000 and XP run large numbers of older games. Although some games take a bit coercing, it's surprising just how many Windows games from the 1996-2000 era can be made to work properly under Win2000/XP despite being intended for Win9x only.
I imagine the same will be true with Vista and games designed for XP/2000. This time we shouldn't have the wait until Service Pack Whatever for the compatibility to arrive, but it will get there. We'll never get quite the same raw performance under Vista as with XP/2000 as there are additional overheads that can't be removed, but it'll be close enough in DX9 titles to satisfy most of us. A few hundred 3DMarks isn't going to matter in DX9 when we've already moved up to DX10. And emulation or however they implement DX8/DX7/DX6 and DX5 Direct3D is also irrelevant so long as it is 100% complete as the games which use those interfaces will run screamingly fast on even a low-end card.
Having said that, I won't be migrating to Vista anytime soon. I might download an unofficial evaluation copy of the final version (either Ultimate or Corporate depending on how I feel) to see what I think, but DX10 only games hold no sway with me. Chances are I'll migrate to Vista when SP1 is out and proven stable. Reply

Right-Wing Media Attack Obama Judicial Nominee Endorsed By Ken Starr, John Yoo, And Others
Blog ››› ››› ADAM SHAH
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has filed a cloture petition on President Obama's nomination of Goodwin Liu to be a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and the usual suspects in the right-wing media are rehashing their reasons for opposing Liu.
There is nothing new to the attacks, and we refer you to our previous rebuttals. But we do want to highlight just how out of the mainstream these attacks on Liu actually are.
You wouldn't know it from the vitriol of the right-wing media, but Liu actually has a large number of conservative and Republican supporters.
Among those supporters are former independent counsel and federal appellate judge Kenneth Starr; former Bush Justice Department official John Yoo, who authored the infamous "torture memos"; former GOP Rep. Tom Campbell (CA); conservative legal activist Clint Bollick; former Secretary of Transportation William T. Coleman; and law professor Richard Painter, who served as the chief White House ethics lawyer during the Bush administration.
Kenneth Starr. A letter supporting Liu that Starr co-wrote with Yale Law Professor Akhil Amar stated: "What we wish to highlight, beyond his obvious intellect and legal talents, is his independence and openness to diverse viewpoints as well as his ability to follow the facts and the law to their logical conclusion, whatever its political valence may be."
John Yoo. According to The Los Angeles Times, Yoo said of Liu's nomination: "[H]e's not someone a Republican president would pick, but for a Democratic nominee, he's a very good choice."
Tom Campbell. Campbell -- former dean of the business school at the University of California-Berkeley and an unsuccessful candidate for the 2010 Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in California -- stated that Liu "is one of the most capable colleagues I've had in my three decades in academia. I hate the thought of Berkeley losing him, but it's a higher calling and the nation's gain. His ability to analyze, communicate, and inspire will make him a favorite among litigants and a leader among judges."
Clint Bollick. Bollick, director of the Goldwater Institute, wrote that he "strongly support[s]" Liu's nomination, adding that, "[h]aving reviewed several of his academic writings, I find Prof. Liu to exhibit fresh, independent thinking and intellectual honesty. He clearly possesses the scholarly credentials and experience to serve with distinction on this important court."
William T. Coleman. Coleman, Secretary of Transportation during the Ford administration, stated: "I have known Goodwin Liu for many years as after he finished Yale Law School and then clerked for a Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States he worked at O'Melveny & Myers LLP in the Washington office for several years and did a tremendous job." Coleman later added, "I think he will make a tremendous Judge for the Ninth Circuit."
Richard Painter. Painter wrote: "Based on my own review of his record, I believe it's not a close question that Liu is an outstanding nominee whose views fall well within the legal mainstream. That conclusion is shared by leading conservatives who are familiar with Liu's record."
One final point: Conservative media like to pretend that Liu is not qualified to be a judge, notwithstanding the fact that the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary unanimously gave him its top rating of "Well Qualified." But even Fox News' resident right-wing lawyer/news anchor Megyn Kelly says that Liu's "qualifications are unassailable."

Ex-journalist publishes first book at 67, how to grow old disgracefully
6:00am Thursday 8th November 2012
By Chris Adams
6:00am Thursday 8th November 2012
By Chris Adams
A FORMER regional journalist who settled in Rossendale has had his first book published at the age of 67.
Maurice Jones, who has worked on a number of regional papers and also edited the Cyprus Mail, has had his humorous novel, Last Resort, published and earned rave reviews from former Home Secretary David Blunkett and EastEnders actress June Brown, who plays Dot Cotton.
The book has seen Maurice compared to satirical writer Tom Sharpe by Mr Blunkett who praised its 'lashings of humour and great originality'.
Last Resort tackles Britain's care-home elderly, a problem 'solved' by 'exporting' them to cut-price converted resorts in Thailand. The idea – stolen by a failed union demagogue – starts to unravel as sex-related deaths spark fears of a honeyed euthanasia plot.
Maurice said: "I'm told that it's as rare as rocking horse droppings for a debut novelist to be taken on – especially at 67.
"I really hope that this encourages others. Older people have an enormous amount to offer, and if they want to go out with a bang, why not. There is nothing wrong in growing old a little disgracefully."
Maurice, a hobby pilot, has spent the past 11 years living in Burnley Road East, Waterfoot, although he also regularly spends time in Finland with his Finnish wife Leena, and in Thailand.
Last Resort was named as one of the top dozen UK humour books currently on the market by website Squidoo last month.
Maurice said: "This has really stunned me, obviously I must be doing something right."
Maurice was a sub-editor on the Sheffield Morning Telegraph in the 1970s, and also edited The Miner, the National Union of Mineworkers' paper, during the year-long coal strike, and later was named the Newspaper Society Yorkshire Journalist of the Year. He edited the Cyprus Mail in the 1990s and later worked for newspapers in Bedfordshire on his return to Britain.

The TV SYD television channel, which broadcasts in southern Denmark, reported developments concerning the Atlas of Creation on 11 September, 2007. The report described the Atlas as "an extraordinarily large, beautiful-looking book," and went on to say:
... The book called the Atlas of Creation has the signature of the Turkish Muslim author Adnan Oktar, and is a response to Darwin's theory of evolution. The book contains hundreds of photographs of fossils, is large in size and almost 800 pages long.
This summer the striking book in question has been sent out to universities to France and America, as well as to researchers, politicians and science museums... Adnan Oktar's theses are widespread and very popular in the Arab world.
As well as clergymen, a group of TV SYD staff members and the channel manager also received the mysterious book...2008-10-05 01:02:38

Irena's Vow
NCEM, York
Monday 17 February 7:30pm
Adults £10.00 | Concessions £8.00
Please note that online booking for this event has now closed. Tickets will be available on the door from 30 minutes before the performance.
Irena's Vow by Dan Gordon
This play is a remarkable true story of courage in the face of overwhelming adversity. Taken from conversations with Irene Opdyke, the playwright creates a suspenseful, affecting narrative that combines Polish, Jewish and German observations with Irena's wit and irony.
Irena Gut spent her young adult years enduring the hardships that came with the German occupation of Poland, witnessing first-hand the gruesome treatment of Jews, Gypsies and dissidents of all nationalities. Still in her teens and at great risk to her own life, Irena began a rescue campaign, initially smuggling people and food into the woods.
However, Irena's Aryan looks led Major Rugemer to offer her the post of housekeeper in his villa. It was here, while waiting on her employer and other officers that she learned the true fate of her friends in the Ghetto and realised she had no choice but to rescue them...
Remaining silent for many years, Irene finally spoke out when confronted by a Holocaust denier and an amazing story emerged. In 1982 Irene was recognised by Yad Vashem as one of the 'Righteous Among Nations', an honour given to a non- Jewish person for immense acts of bravery.
This is the first performance of Irena's Vow outside America and Theatre Imp are delighted and honoured to be joined every night by Jeannie Opdyke Smith (Irene's daughter) who is travelling from the United States specifically to accompany the company.
This promises to be an evening of quality, thought-provoking drama.
Please note that a £1 transaction fee applies to all online and telephone bookings.

I think I'm too stupid to solve this math equation myself.Given:
0.05 * 0.05 = 0.0025
How do I make the result having greater value like 0.25, like they multiply integral number.
Was this possible at all and how do you calculate in JavaScript.
I want the numbers lesser than zero multiply with each another to having greater value not lesser.
Sorry, I don't understand you.
.05 times .05 is .0025
So that result is correct. You want to purposely get an incorrect result?
Sorry, I must be very stupid at math.I want something like: 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 +0.05
It must multiply with integral number. A kindergarten could do this.
I don't know about that. When I was in kindergarten they didn't teach me decimals or fractions.
So what you want is.05 times 5
5 5 25
-- x -- = --
100 1 100
not.05 times .05
5 5 25
-- x -- = --
100 100 10000
Thanks, that's more likely.
I calculate two time stamps. The first one is actually 0.0012208 seconds and the second is 0.0743354146 seconds.
I want to multiply them. It's impossible to have lesser value.
No programming language can multiply decimal fractions accurately because they all work with binary fractions.
If you want an accurate answer you need to make them all integers first and only convert back to a fraction at the end.
Doing something likevar result = ( (timestamp1 * 1000000000) * (timestamp2 * 1000000000) ) / 1000000000;
might give a more accurate result without losing precision, but I have to wonder why would timestamps ever need to be multiplied?
would give a wrong answer - you are multiplying by 1000000000000000000 but only dividing by 1000000000. The actual answer would be 1/1000000000 of what that calculation would produce.
The problem with converting to integers so as to not lose precision is in keeping track of what to divide by at the end.
:d'oh: right you are, thanks for catching that. The point I was focusing on (and obviously not giving much thought to the rest ) was why would one want to multiply timestamps?
Thanks for help. I called it wrongly. It's speed not timestamps. Problem with all not native English speaker I guess.
Addition: by speed, more multiple factors mean delay.
That makes more sense.
I would do something likeduration = end_timestamp - start_timestampfor each thing you're timing. That would give you units of actual time to work with which you could convert to milli or micro seconds and should be a lot better to use IMHO

In some cases, the interviews will be conducted by Scott Nelson, a self-described medtech enthusiast, who has worked for some of the largest medical device companies in the world. Scott founded Medsider.com with one simple goal: Help other ambitious doers and thinkers learn from a mix of dynamic and experienced medical device and medtech experts.
Designing the World's First Bionic Eye
Interview with Dr. Robert Greenberg, CEO Second Sight
MD+DI speaks with Robert Greenberg, CEO and founder of Second Sight, creators of the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System. The Argus II has recently received FDA approval and will be available later in 2013. Greenberg talks about the over 20 years of development that lead to the creation of the world's first bionic eye, overcoming regulatory hurdles, and how creating the implant was like submerging a TV into the ocean and having it still work.

Examining the Sunshine Act with David Hoffmeister
Interview with David Hoffmeister
Will the Sunshine Act force medical device companies to lay off even more employees? Perhaps at a rate of 2-4 per year?Let's do some simple math: It's estimated that compliance with the Sunshine Act will cost medical device companies about $200,000 annually. If the average annual salary of an employee within a medical device company is $65,000, that's roughly three employees. Ouch.
Medical Device Marketers Need to Act With Precision
Interview with Bob Harrell
It's somewhat hard to believe. But in 2010, the pharmaceutical industry eliminated 43,334 jobs. Stop and think about that. Over 40,000 people received the infamous pink slip! Okay, so you might be thinking, "But that's pharma; I'm in medical devices. I'm safe." Think again, my friend. Regulatory timelines are long. PMAs and 510ks are incredibly expensive. Venture capitalists are white-knuckling their cash. Oh yeah, don't forget about the 2.3% medical device tax and the Sunshine Act. With that in mind, it's paramount that medical device marketers and sales people begin to stretch. As in…stretch your mindset. Think outside the box. Employ aggressive, non-traditional avenues. Are you with me? Okay then…?
How to Get Your Physician Customers to Actually Remember You
Interview with Doug Seifert
How do you add value to your physician customers? How do you get doctors to"learn forward" in a conversation? Stop right now and take 10 seconds to think about those questions. If your answer is to offer lower pricing, you need to think again. Let's face the facts. Medical device sales and marketing is incredibly competitive. We're operating in an age where it's a dog fight just to get a few minutes of time with a physician. If you're savvy enough to get those precious few minutes, what are you doing with them?
Why the Healthcare System is Broken... And How to Fix It
Interview with Jonathan Govette
Referral communication within the healthcare setting is often one-way, damn near impossible to track, and sometimes does not include the required patient information. Jonathan Govette explores why the healthcare system is broken and what can be done to fix it.
Medtech Business through the Eyes of a Venture Capitalist
Interview with Lisa Suennen
Why in the hell are VC firms still interested in funding medtech companies when only 50% of all reported exits are less than $100 million and the average cost of obtaining a PMA is approximately $94 million? More importantly, what does it take for medical devices companies to get a "yes" for those VCs still interested in forking out some cash?
Marketing Medical Devices in China
Interview with Landon Lack
China is one of the largest and fastest growing medical device markets in the world. Given the sheer size of the market, the fragmented nature of distribution, and the cultural differences from one province to the next, it is important to consider a number of implications unique to the China market. Landon Lack explores the requirements, stipulations, and best practices for marketing and selling devices in China.
How to Tap Key Opinion Leaders to Effectively Market Devices
Interview with Jim Zuffoletti and Otavio Freire
In today's world of commoditized medical devices, differentiating your products is extremely challenging. In fact, the only difference between your company and the next might be how effectively you collaborate with key opinion leaders (KOLs) and other medical device stakeholders. Building a KOL program is a challenge in a heightnened regulatory and compliance environment. Learn the best methods to create a program that isn't a "many-headed hydra."

Should Medical Device Companies Pursue Regulatory Approvals in Europe Before the US?
Marc Sanchez, Founder of Contract In-House Counsel
It's a constant debate. Pursue a medical device regulatory approval in the US? Or does it make more sense to seek a European approval first? Is there a definitive answer? According to Marc Sanchez, Founder of Contract In-House Counsel, medical device companies would be wise to take a step back and consider the business ramifications first. In this interview with Marc, we learn more about this hotly debated issue as well as a host of other interesting medical device regulatory trends.
Can Friction be Removed in the Physician-Patient Interaction? And How Can Medical Device and Medtech Companies Get Involved?
Interview with Ron Gutman, Founder and CEO of HealthTap
What do you typically do when you want to know something? You Google it, right. Pretty normal. But what if you have a health question? Google isn't very good for delivering succinct and accurate health information. With that said, what if you could ask a "real" doctor a question anytime, anywhere? 24/7 access to an actual physician. No more waiting rooms!
In this interview with Ron Gutman, Founder and CEO, we learn how HealthTap is revolutionizing the physician-patient interaction. And perhaps more intriguing, Ron shows us how medtech and medical device companies can take advantage of this unique platform to engage with their customers and patients in a profound way.

BANGOR, Maine — Somewhere under decades of dense forest growth on a remote mountain west of Rangeley are the remains of a B-17 aircraft in which 10 American fliers spent the last moments of their lives July 11, 1944.
The entire crew of young men on their way to Europe during World War II was killed when their plane crashed into Deer Mountain, just a few miles east of the New Hampshire border.
The B-17 bomber left Nebraska's Kearney Army Air Field early that morning. It was scheduled to touch down at Bangor's Dow Army Airfield shortly after noon before heading across the Atlantic.
Several days later, Sgt. Mario "Lee" Sirabella, an Army photographer based out of Dow field, was among a group who arrived at the crash site to assess the damage and begin the cleanup and recovery process.
The New York City native, who volunteered for the service along with two friends because they figured they would be drafted anyway, wanted to be an airman but was rejected after he failed a color recognition test. Army officials handed him a camera instead and shipped him to serve stints in Greenland, Iceland and Bangor.
Sirabella, 93, who is a resident of Brewer, remembers the devastation at the crash site. Sirabella ran a photography studio out of his home for 60 years until he shut down his business in 2006.
"Everything was just like a giant lawn mower went through there," Sirabella said, recalling the swath of trees that had been torn down as the wreckage ripped through the forest. A machine gun was wrapped around a tree, he remembered.
"After I did my photography, I was told I should help retrieve some of the remains," Sirabella said, adding he was thankful to have forgotten some of the more gruesome details over the years. The wreckage and carnage were spread hundreds of feet from the site of impact.
The men made tents out of parachutes pulled from the plane's wreckage the night they arrived, Sirabella said. Breakfast was a series of packaged meals also pulled from what was left of the plane.
Bangor was a pit stop for an estimated 6,000 bombers and fighters during the war, Bergquist said. Presque Isle and Houlton saw flights of their own but in smaller numbers than Dow.
The prevailing theory of what led up to the loss of the B-17 is that the crew attempted to divert around serious storms, according to David Bergquist, a Maine historian who has written books about the history of Dow. The original route would have brought the plane over Augusta before turning toward Bangor.
Instead, the crew turned north to avoid the worst of the weather and apparently lost their way. The pilot likely tried to dip the bomber below the clouds, in hopes of spotting a landmark that would guide the plane back toward Bangor or at least an emergency landing strip near Rangeley, but the clouds were too low and too thick. Bergquist said it's also possible lightning knocked out the aircraft's radio communications, which would have prevented the plane from getting back on track.
The pilot, 27-year-old John Cast of Springfield, Ohio, had the most training of anyone on the crew. The majority of American pilots in WWII had about six months of training before they were deemed fit to send overseas.
The cloud ceiling that day was around 1,000 feet, Bergquist said. Deer Mountain's elevation is nearly 3,500 feet. The plane would have circled around the basin, which is bordered by several high hills and mountains. For more than an hour, while the fuel gauge continued to dip, the plane likely circled the area over Lake Winnipesaukee.
It's theorized that around 1:30 p.m. — an hour after the plane was expected in Bangor — the pilot decided to try to land the bomber in Mooselookmeguntic Lake in hopes of increasing the crew's chance of survival. He banked to the left but apparently clipped the trees or a ridge of rocks on the mountain, sending the bomber somersaulting violently into the mountainside.
Cast was the oldest member of the B-17 crew. He left behind a 5-month-old son. Also killed were co-pilot John Drake, 21, of Port Arthur, Texas; navigator William Hudgens, 21, of Flagstaff, Arizona; bombardier Robert Talley, 26, of San Angelo, Texas; engineer Wayne McGavran, 24, of Seymour, Iowa; radio operator Cecil Murphy, 21, of Falls City Nebraska; and gunners James Benson, 21, of Clark, South Dakota; Gerald Biddle, 23, of Akron, Ohio; John Jones, 20, of Buffalo, New York; and Clarence Waln, 22, of Ten Sleep, Wyoming.
Another plane discovered the crash site on the afternoon of July 13. The Army organized crews from Presque Isle Army Base and Dow to launch a rescue and cleanup effort at the remote site.
On July 21, 10 flag-draped coffins carrying the remains of the B-17 crewmen were waiting in Bangor's former Union Station to be sent by rail to the families of the crash victims, according to Bangor historian Dick Shaw.
The Deer Mountain B-17 crash was somewhat overshadowed by another military plane crash in Maine on the same day, which claimed the lives of 17 civilians in a mobile home park and two airmen. That crash in South Portland became known as the Long Creek air tragedy. The cause remains a mystery, but dense fog settled around the airfield around the time of the crash.
Shaw said he wasn't even aware of the B-17 crash in western Maine until recently, when Bergquist invited him to the Deer Mountain site.
In 2000, a group from New Hampshire dedicated a small stone monument at the site in honor of the airmen killed in the B-17 crash.
To this day, roughly a ton of wreckage is believed to be buried under decades of forest growth on Deer Mountain, Shaw said.
"The non-battle loss of aircraft and crew during WWII was not that uncommon," Bergquist said. "More than 15,000 American fliers, like our crew of this particular crash, were killed. Some have never been found."

Complete Race Results (pdf)
Bethlehem, Pa. - The women's cross country team continued to show its improvements in leaps and bounds, finishing 16th out of 40 schools at the 39th annual running of the Paul Short Invitational on the campus of Lehigh University on Friday morning. Last year, Penn came in 30th out of 45 schools.
Leading the charge for the Quakers was senior co-captain Leslie Kovach, who missed last year's race due to injury. Kovach's time of 21:28 placed her 56th overall in the field of 360 competitors. Following her was Kersie Jhabvala, running in 66th with a time of 21:44.
Two freshmen were up next for the Red and Blue. Hannah Grossman (22:07) came in 100th overall, followed by Elyssa Gensib (22:30) in 132nd. The scoring for Penn was rounded out by senior Margaret Diacont, a product of nearby Nazareth, Pa., who finished 136th overall with her time of 22:32. Among the group that the Quakers finished ahead of were Delaware, Tennessee, Army, Maryland and Saint Joseph's, to name a few.
The team will have next weekend off from competition before returning to action for two races in two weeks' time. First, a select few will travel to the west suburbs to compete in the Haverford Invitational on October 11. Two days later, the full team will make the trip to Lafayette for the Leopard Invitational, beginning at 10 a.m. on October 13.

STREET lights will kept on between midnight and 5am in a part of Colchester where a murder investigation has been launched.
A woman's body was found by a footpath behind Britten Close, Greenstead, at 10.40am today, Tuesday June 17.
The woman, who has not yet been identified, suffered serious and multiple injuries to her head and body.
An Essex County Council spokesman said street lights in the Greenstead area would be left on all night tonight and tomorrow following a request from Essex Police.
Parts of Colchester were plunged into darkness between midnight and 5am from December 1 last year.
Residents have protested the move could lead to an increase in crime and accidents.
The council said the initiative will save money and reduce carbon emissions.

One of the perks of the Fred Wilpon/New Yorker article publishing in May is that, unlike all of the unwelcome developments this winter, the ill will generated from yesterday's storm can be counteracted by actual baseball.
The Mets head to Wrigley Field tonight to take on a Cubs team that has a worse record than the Mets, finds itself further out of first place than the Mets, and will throw two pitchers with ERAs over 6 at New York. (The third is Carlos Zambrano, checking in at a still-high 4.88.) The Mets get to miss Matt Garza and his 11 strikeouts per nine innings entirely. Who says they're snakebitten, baby? Oh, right.
So circumstances are lined up for the Mets to take the words of their leader to heart, Major League-style. A sweep of the Cubs, followed by 2 of 3 from the Phillies this weekend at Citi Field, and the Mets would find themselves back over .500 and within hailing distance of first place heading into four very winnable games with the Pirates.
It will still be a brief snapshot of the 162-game season, but the stories could change tenor in a hurry.
Some other notes:
Looks like Angel Pagan will resume rehab in Buffalo on Wednesday. With success there, he could join the Mets for the series against Philadelphia this weekend.
Johan Santana is scheduled to throw off of a mound this week, which could pave the way for an early-July return.
David Wright and the Mets are both hopeful that he can return when eligible on May 31, though a little extra caution would be both prudent and is likely under this new management team.
Let's end on a high note- check out Cory Vaughn's Savannah line: .331/.469/.477.

Magis Paso Doble Stool
The lithe, sweeping motion of a toreador and his cape—the signature movement upon which the traditional Spanish paso doble dance is based—inspired Stefano Giovannoni's seductive Paso Doble seating family. The Milan-based designer developed the group around the concept of material suspended between rigid structures, much like the sling suspension found on the Eames Aluminum Group chairs.
Giovannoni's design employs sturdy, roll-formed aluminum rails and flexible polymer mesh to create the lightweight and stackable Paso Doble Stool, available in many beautiful materials options for the seat and backrest, a choice of frame colors and heights, and with or without arms. As part of the Paso Doble group, this stool joins chairs, lounge chairs, and an ottoman for a comprehensive indoor-outdoor line created by a designer known for his keen eye for structure, form, and simplicity.

"No -Skid Bowls"
I bought thse same bowls 20 years ago. I am still using these same bowls but the rubber is beginning look rather rough, so on a whim, I am replacing them.. These have to be the best bowls on the market..I've even put them in the dishwasher, I personally know you cannot go wrong buying these bowls ! :) Suzane
"Not skid-proof"
If you're looking for non-skid, you may want to try another product. The rubber peeled off even though it was not damaged by my pets. I tried super-gluing it back, but it didn't stick.
"Malinois puppies"
Very good quality bowl -- bought a total of 3 (2 of the 1qt and 1 of the 1 pint) for some of our Malinois puppies. However, with one of our pups, the bowl is tip resistant but not tip proof. It takes Kara a good 10 minutes but she manages to turn it over so she can play with it! Better focus than with any of her toys!
"Good Bowl - Great Service"
I ordered two of the 3qt bowls. On arrival the black rubber on one of the bowls was broken. I called the store and requested they send me another rubber edging. They promptly sent me a new bowl. My only disappointment with the bowls is that the black rubber leaves black markings on my hands when I pick them up. I have scrubbed on it and it still leaves black marks all over my hands. I usually wash my hands after feeding the dogs but it is a nuisance to have black all over my hands. Otherwise it is good quality.
"great bowl"
I got this for my cat that stays outside the rubber bottom works great at not sliding all over my deck. Its easy to clean and looks great . It holds up to the weather great also.
"The Best Bowls Out There"
I can't tell you how much I love these bowls. I feed my dogs on the hardwood kitchen floor and the no-skid rubber ring keeps them from scooting the bowls all around the kitchen. The no-tip design also prevents one of them from grabbing the bowls and running away with them. And of course, stainless steel is SUPER easy to clean, just throw it in the dishwasher and it's as good as new. Definitely a must-have for every pet owner!

An auction is scheduled for Feb. 27 to sell 2,620 acres of citrus grove land in Indiantown, Fla.
Formerly owned by Palm City, Fla.-based Indian Sun Groves, the irrigated land is bordered by the St. Lucie Canal. It is scheduled to be sold in eight tracts, ranging from 58 acres to 802 acres, according to a news release.
"This former high-producing citrus grove is in an ideal location for growing a wide range of vegetables, with good irrigation and drainage infrastructure already in place," Murray Wise, chief executive officer of Champaign, Ill.-based Murray Wise Associates LLC auction company, said in the release. "It's suitable for numerous crops such as tomatoes, citrus, peppers, melons, cucumbers and green beans, with some acres already in vegetable production."
Last year, the auction company sold about 2,300 acres in nearby Stuart, Fla. That land sold for $19.5 million, according to the release.
Winter Haven, Fla.-based agriculture real estate brokerage Crosby & Associates Inc., is assisting with the auction.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/2/2013 (1658 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If a team can be defined by its killer instinct, then the Winnipeg Jets might be best described early in this 2013 season as a bunch with all the ferocity of a newborn baby.
Actually, that might be considered a slight to newborns everywhere.
Given the opportunity to wrap their fingers around the throats of the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday night and squeeze out a win, the Jets instead loosened their grip and gave up a critical two points in a 3-2 loss that drops them to 4-5-1 through 10 games.
"We let that game get away. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement," said Jets head coach Claude Noel. "The problem I have is we are finding a way to lose games. And some of the problems we have are created by ourselves, and that's the disturbing part."
First period
The Jets do everything but finish to get the joint jumping, dominating the first handful of shifts but failing to capitalize. And yet when Dion Phaneuf is sent to the box to give the Jets the man advantage, the power play actually serves as a buzz-killer with no shots.
That ineptitude with the man advantage would continue all night. The Jets were 0-4 on the power play and generated just one shot on goal in those four tries.
Second period
More power-play woes for both teams. The Jets open the scoring while short-handed as Bryan Little tees up Zach Redmond — the same two teamed up for the OT winner against Florida — for his first career NHL goal.
"Awesome. It's always a great thing to get out of the way and always something you dream of," said Redmond. "I never thought it would come on the PK (penalty kill), but I'm definitely happy to get the monkey off my back."
Noel praised Redmond, again, as being one of the best of the Jets. He now has three points (1G, 2A) in four NHL games played. As for the puck he scored his first with...
"I don't have it right now," said Redmond. "I don't know where it is, but I'm sure they're keeping it for me somewhere."
Third period
One word: disaster. The Jets were clinging to a 2-1 lead late but kissed away the win when Matt Frattin tied it with 5:02 left and Phil Kessel won it — with Alex Ponikarovsky in the box — when he rifled home the winner with 4:08 remaining.
"When you have a 2-1 lead in the third you've got to be smarter and learn to close out games," said Bryan Little. "Same thing last year... we had trouble closing out games. We've got to be better with it. We've got to learn to sacrifice and get those points."
After the buzzer
Noel, understandably, came to the podium for his post-game media scrum looking like a man who had just swallowed sour milk. And he's promising some changes to his top lines. The Evander Kane-Olli Jokinen-Blake Wheeler trio was a combined -3 and is now -20 as a unit this season.
"We've got the one line that is minus all over the place, so you've got to make changes," Noel said. "You just can't sit back and watch this. You've got to juggle this thing around a little bit."

Sports News of Thursday, 28 February 2013
Source: Adom FM
The Chief Executive Officer of Berekum Arsenal, Alhaji Yakubu Moro has said he believes John Paintsil has been bedeviled by people who want his downfall.
Alhaji Moro whose team nurtured Paintsil into stardom was speaking to the recent news about John Paintsil alleged assaults on wife, and allegations that he attempted suicide.
"It came as a surprise to me because Paintsil is the shy type, very calm and hardly would you see him argue in public," Alhaji Moro noted.
He said: "I think now that he is a big star, those who envy him are using spiritual means to divert his ways and he needs to pray hard."
News about Paintsil's suicide attempt stems from a message he posted on his BBM status saying "I will rest in peace…goodbye loved ones" shortly before he collapsed on Tuesday and was rushed to the Ghana-Canada Hospital.
Soon after he was discharged from hospital, Paintsil's BBM status changed to "That was close. Thanks guys."
It is not yet clear what caused his collapse but he was revived by medical officers and released from hospital shortly after.
Paintsil's family has since denied reports that he attempted suicide, and his Media Relations Adviser, Ebenezer Aidoo also debunked the suicide rumors, saying the star suffered "exhaustion and dehydration".
Adom News also probed allegations Paintsil faked the collapse as a mere 'PR gimmick' to win public sympathy, but family sources pleaded for privacy.
