PHILADELPHIA – It was a special day at The Palestra, as the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team welcomed the No. 5 team in the country, Notre Dame, to The Palestra. Led by its longtime coach Muffet McGraw, a Philadelphia native, the Fighting Irish generated enough interest to draw an energetic crowd of 1,025 to the hallowed gym.
In the end, Notre Dame (4-0), which was making its first trip to the Cathedral of College Basketball since 1981, got the expected win, 76-54. However, Penn head coach Mike McLaughlin had to be pleased with what he saw on Saturday.
Penn (0-2)battledthe Fighting Irish all night. The Quakers only allowed thebigger and more athletic Irisha six-rebound advantage (43-37),and whilethe sample size is only four games, Penn heldND's high-octance offensetoits lowest scoring total this season.
At the other end,Penn got a balanced attack -- three scoring in double figures, nine scoring overall. However, this was a game where the numbers didn't totallytell the story. How else to explain the Quakers'most important player on Saturday might have been senior captain Meghan McCullough (two points)? Thanks to her, Penn had little trouble with Notre Dame's various pressure defenses.
Freshman Sydney Stipanovich, playing just her second collegiate game, tied for team-high honors in both points (11) and rebounds (6). Junior Katy Allen also scored 11 points, while senior captain Alyssa Baron had 10 on a tough shooting night (not surprising, given that she squared off with the Irish's All-America candidate, Kayla McBride). Baron also had five assists. Junior Kara Bonenberger was also notable with her effort, as she finished with six points and six boards before fouling out.
Penn was up 8-6 after a Baron jumper, but Notre Dame's fast-paced offense needed just eight seconds to tie it back up. That jump-started the Irish on a 13-point streak, and they never looked back. The run covered nearly eight full minutes before Baron finally ended the Quaker skid with a three-pointer.
That brought the Red and Blue back to life. Senior captain Courtney Wilson hit a jumper at the top of the key to make the score 19-13, and then after Michaela Mabrey scored a layup for the Irish, Allen and Melanie Lockett hit back-to-back baskets that made the score 21-17 at the eight-minute media timeout.
Notre Dame doubled its lead back up to eight off baskets from Ariel Braker and Lindsay Allen, but Allen hit a trey for Penn to make the score 25-20. It was still just 27-22 with a little over two minutes left in the half, but ND scored the last seven points of the period to make the score 34-22 at the break.
Penn got within nine early in the second half on a Kathleen Roche three-pointer, but Notre Dame scored 15 of the game's next 19 points to essentially put this one away. When Madison Cable's layup went in with 13:10 left, the score was 51-31 in favor of the Irish.
Penn's final charge came at that point, as Allen scored a layup and then Stipanovich converted an old-fashioned three-point play to make the score 51-36. However, Notre Dame went on a 12-3 run after that to build what would be its largest lead in the game at 63-39.
The spread was under 20 as the game went inside a minute, but Notre Dame scored four in a row before Penn freshman Stephanie Cheney closed out the scoring with a foul shot in the waning seconds.
Penn returns to action on Monday, Dec. 2 as the Quakers play their first Big 5 game of the 2013-14 season at La Salle. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m.

Arthur Jongsma, Jr.
2005 Alumni of the Year
Psychology has opened doors to Dr. Arthur Jongsma, Jr. '63 that few people enter. He often accompanies people on journeys to help them resolve pain, turmoil, and despair in their lives.
"It is my privilege to meet people at crisis points and walk with them down paths that they don't normally share with others," he said. "People are willing to trust me with their private struggles, so it is most important to respect and listen to them. Then I can offer compassion and techniques to resolve some of their issues.
"My Christian faith is reflected in my work, but I'm careful not to proselytize my patients. I'm always open to praying with them or discussing issues of faith if they choose, but I want to be sensitive to their psychological needs first and foremost."
Since beginning his career in psychology in 1970 at Pine Rest Christian Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Jongsma has offered compassionate insight and counsel to hundreds of patients. For that and other contributions he has made to his field, the College's alumni board named him the Alumnus of the Year for 2005.
"I decided to pursue a career in psychology after taking an Introduction to Psychology class," he recalled. "I wanted to learn what made man do what he does, and after 30 years as a psychologist, I am still trying to help people understand why they do what they do."
In 1979, Jongsma started Psychological Consultants, a private practice that provides counseling to children, adolescents, and adults struggling with emotional, behavioral, relational, or addiction problems. In 1995, he began writing treatment-planning books for mental health and chemical dependence counselors. He also developed TheraScribe, a computerized database that helps clinicians customize treatment plans for their patients. It has become the most widely used clinical tool in the field. Jongsma closed Psychological Consultants in 2004 and continues writing more content for TheraScribe. Its fifth edition will launch in 2005.
"Writing planning books and developing TheraScribe have given me opportunities to widen my career and contribute to psychotherapy," he said. "They allow me to come alongside many people at once and be a 'helper to the helpers.' I can tap into the wealth of expertise of my colleagues who write with me and share methods of improving people's lives. I've found this venture to be very rewarding."
Trinity was a two-year institution when he attended the College, but Jongsma said his time back then set the stage for him to be the Christian servant he is today. Some of the lessons he learned four decades ago remain fresh in his mind.
"Those years were extremely valuable in the impressionable stages of my growth," he said. "From being spiritually challenged in the intimate and intellectually stimulating chapel services to just being in a place where everybody knows your name and cares about you - Trinity made its indelible mark of Christ on my heart, mind, and soul.
"I learned the necessity of continuously evaluating how my faith integrates with my work. I'm a Christian and a psychologist, and my faith keeps me grounded and brings balance to my work. Whether I am in my role as a psychotherapist with a patient or an author writing a treatment-planning book, I pray that the Holy Spirit will help me help other children of the King. I recognize that I am saved to serve joyfully."
Jongsma works half-time at Life Guidance Services in Grand Rapids, where he lives with his wife, Judy. They have been married for more than 40 years and have two daughters, Kendra '93 and Michelle, and four grandchildren.

"perfect choice for complimenting the style of any wedding-as mother of groom planning rehearsal dinner this provided simple elegance that is very classic. We used both front and back of the invite-front for basic invite information and back for extra details. Paper and printing were top quality as we expected from this company. Front photo of the couple looked amazing! Shipping was right on time as promised. You can't go wrong with this design and style."
"We were so pleased with the results of our rehearsal dinner invitations. They turned out so beautiful and we have been spreading the word that our friends should use Wedding Paper Divas for their invitations."
"Came out better than I expected! Customer service was excellent! Wanted to change picture day after I placed order and they took care of it."
"I changed the color of the paper to go with the overall themeof the wedding. I changed the shape of the card whichI thought made it look different. I spoke withsomeone on the phone throughout my entire order process since I had some trouble with my internet browser. she stayed on the phone withme until my entire order was complete. I can't say enough about this personalized service. I ordered at the last minute and was able to get my order in 3 days."
"We wanted a different look to our rehearsal dinner invitations. Our wedding invites conveyed a vintage fall theme so we went with something more classic/elegant for our rehearsal dinner. The design and paper quality was what we have come to expect from Wedding Paper Divas. Seamless process!"

2008 BRAC Area Plans Review
What is BRAC?
Base Realignment and Closure, or BRAC, is the process the Department of Defense uses to reorganize its facilities to more efficiently and effectively support its forces, increase operational readiness and facilitate new ways of doing business. As a result of BRAC 2005, DoD will be moving thousands of jobs from leased office space and other facilities in the Washington metro region to Fort Belvoir (including the Engineer Proving Ground) in southern Fairfax County, and to Mark Center in Alexandria.
Why is Fairfax County looking to change its Comprehensive Plan?
The Comprehensive Plan guides how land is used. The significant increase in jobs at Fort Belvoir will affect housing, transportation and public services, as well as create potential opportunities for new jobs, goods and services in large areas of the county in the Springfield, Lee, and Mount Vernon Districts. The purpose of the BRAC Area Plans Review (APR) effort was to consider whether the Comprehensive Plan should be amended to respond to the DoD decision to move jobs to Fort Belvoir.

oh wait, now gui working
thanks mamu
06-27-2012 #272geniuschen Guest
Worked for me. just follow Nogitsune's guide. You should use JP as the base.
If it still black screen try to fix the permission using mm? The GUI didn't work for me though.
06-27-2012 #273jadekitten Guest
working yay, has anyone tried swapping the movies out? the English voices really are awful lol
06-27-2012 #274Nogitsune Guest
... I'm pretty sure the movies were in Japanese... or I'm wrong?
06-27-2012 #275Tisun Guest
The movies are in Japanese...
06-27-2012 #276jadekitten Guest
oh i forgot to re-transfer the movies lol well if anyone wants english movies there you go lol
06-27-2012 #277Nogitsune Guest
i just tried testing to see if i can align skit's text with Japanese voice correctly. on a skit in chapter 2 barona. i made rootR.cpk with only CHT_DCXXX.chd in chat/chd folder from US version . no change in skit. then i tried the same with CHT_MSXXX.chd files. this time the text was right but the voice turned back to english.
i think the problem is on some texts where japanese version only needed one box for the whole text but english needs two. so it won't align well. either way I gave up. maybe someone will find my test results useful.
06-27-2012 #278fantopoulos Guest
yes it is pretty annoying i get he exact same problem as you , unfortunately
06-27-2012 #279mamu Guest
i checked the chd files, i can make an unpacker/repacker. The file has to be uncompressed for this, so only edit those where are problems with the skits, as these chd files can increase the cpk size a lot. Or if there are too many problems we can just use the US font.
For those who have problems with cpkcr or gui, please post the error (or the whole message log)! Missing arguments means something is wrong with the command line parameters, Could not open means the file is missing or locked by another program (for example, a hex editor). Also do not forget to put the gui (the jar/bat file) next to the program (the exe, on windows), the gui is only for starting it without typing in the commands.
I will write a guide if there are a lot of problems (or maybe Nogitsune wants to update it? ).
06-27-2012 #280Nogitsune Guest
unfortunately i couldn't get the gui run myself. it just gives an ambiguous error (cpkcr.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close).
i think the problem is my windows though. the program itself says look at the log. which is non existent.

Award Winning Cameraman Jeff Goodman Talks With Alex Earl - Executive Director, Project AWARE Foundation
With over 30 years experience in wildlife, underwater, aerial and sound sync lighting camera work, Jeff Goodman is an award winning cameraman filming and directing in varying habitats and conditions from underwater to aerials, from commercial studios to rain forests, from Arctic ice flows to deserts. In an exclusive interview for Scubaverse, Alex Earl talks to Jeff about their shared passion for conservation, what brought Alex to become an active conservationist and the work that Project AWARE do to empower divers in their local communities to take action to protect the ocean - one dive at at time.
Jeff Goodman: Your biography and experience in the world of marine conservation is extensive. You're a man who is obviously passionate about our oceans and the protection of all the wildlife they encompass. How did you first become aware and interested in the sea?
Alex: I was fortunate to grow up amidst one of the last wild frontiers on the planet in Stewart, British Columbia, Canada right on the border between Alaska and British Columbia at the end of one of the longest fjords on the Pacific Coast. I spent many days sailing and exploring this coastline with my family. Experiencing this pristine natural setting with wild salmon runs, otters, seals, sharks, porpoises, orcas, and whales forged a deep desire to protect and conserve our environment.
Jeff:At what point in your life did you realise our oceans were in serious decline?
Alex: My parents were environmentally aware in the best spirit of the sixties and seventies and encouraged a strong respect for the natural world. They always emphasized that the pristine environment we were experiencing was rare and diminishing globally. My environmental awareness grew as a teenager, in university, volunteering in Central America, and completing outdoor guide training. However, the seminal moment for me in transitioning my awareness to advocacy and activism was completing my PADI Advanced Open Water Diver training in the Philippines in a Marine Protected Area. I first learned about Project AWARE in this course and my instructor from the United Kingdom was very passionate about marine conservation and diving. He planted the seed which led over time to an epiphany that a professional commitment to marine conservation was my future. I used to lay wake at night staring at the ceiling feeling that I knew the environmental problems faced by the ocean and our planet but that I was not part of the solution. I felt I had to be part of the solution because I had no excuse and I did not want to be an old man in the future looking into the eyes of children and young people who asked me why my generation did not do something when there was still time. Future generations are going to judge us harshly and they are going to need to be inspired by the actions of those who came before them as those in the environmental movement now have been by Rachel Carsons for example.
Jeff:Can you tell us about your first environmental campaign?
Alex: I worked on rainforest seedling project in Costa Rica and I was involved in raising awareness about climate change as a high school teacher in Japan. However, my first environmental campaign as an activist and professional environmentalist was with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) working organizationally to support Operation Migaloo in 2007. This campaign was Sea Shepherd's annual whale defence campaign in Antarctica. 68 crew members were at sea for 83 days covering 20,000 miles in the Southern Ocean. 484 whales were saved and no humpback or fin whales were killed. Operation Migaloo was the first Sea Shepherd anti-whaling campaign to be filmed by Animal Planet and it is profiled in Season 1 of the television series Whale Wars.
Jeff:I see from your profile on the Project AWARE web site that early in your conservation career you became a global executive for the 'front line' Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Having made a few films with Paul Watson I know how dedicated the crews and supporters of his campaigns are. I personally think direct action is often the only alternative left to us when confronting the impossible odds of bureaucracy, indifference and short term economics. What made you join Sea Shepherd rather than a more conventional conservation group?
Alex: I was very proud and honoured to join and work for Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) and to work with amazing activists across the globe like Kim McCoy, Chuck Swift, Carla Robinson, Kurt Lieber, Peter Hammarstedt, Alex Cornelissen, Jeff Hansen, and Geert Von Jon, because I also share your perfectly stated sentiment that direct action is often the only alternative left when confronting the impossible odds of bureaucracy, indifference and short term economics. By the day this is becoming more of the case and there is no organization and individual in the world using direct action from a marine conservation perspective more profoundly than Sea Shepherd and Paul Watson. It takes courage and commitment to push the boundaries and rules of society in order to effect change that would not otherwise happen. We are witnessing ecocide take place before our eyes to ecosystems and animals that have been on the planet for hundreds of millions of years and it is a crime against future generations. Both Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd were founded in Vancouver, British Columbia. Paul Watson was a prominent part of Greenpeace and the founding and driving force behind Sea Shepherd. Both organizations and Paul received a lot of media in my home province of British Columbia while I was growing up. Aside from challenging whaling globally and the seal hunt in Eastern Canada, there were also many battles over old growth clear cutting and wolf hunts in British Columbia at the time and Paul was front and center in all of these battles. My parents admired him greatly. Paul is a metal tiger in the Chinese Zodiac which is a very strong zodiac sign that comes once every 50 years. My son who is three is also a metal tiger and I am hoping he will have the best of Paul's qualities and become part of the next generation that takes their spot on the watchtower defending our planet and all sentient life.
Jeff: How does Project AWARE differ from other conservation organisations?
Alex: Project AWARE is the only conservation organization exclusively focused on representing the global environmental voice of divers. We offer impactful global solutions that divers and ocean advocates can be part of through citizen science. Through our international membership in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and our global alliances and partnerships we also work to have the environmental voice of divers heard where it has not traditionally been on an international environmental policy level. We have a seat at the table to be part of discussions when and where they matter for some of the world's most threatened species.
To me, Project AWARE represents one of the best investments in marine conservation because we have 20 years of achievements under our belt and a unique long-term corporate partnership with the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) which provides us with powerful access to thousands of dedicated PADI Professionals and millions of certified scuba divers. Approximately, 1.5 million advocates are directly engaged with Project AWARE to date and we are growing. Our programs and campaigns align with some of the ocean's top challenges globally, like the Dive Against Debris program which is the largest year-round underwater survey of its kind. Our supporters are directly trained and positioned to help remove marine debris and advocate for litter prevention globally.
Jeff:On the Project AWARE website it says you support an unprecedented global movement of divers acting in their own communities to protect oceans and implement lasting change. Can you tell us how that support manifests itself?
Alex: That support manifests itself in many ways. Project AWARE is tackling ocean protection from two angles – we're connecting the dots between a top-down and bottom-up approaches to implement change. Top down, through powerful partnerships and alliances of like-minded policy-makers and NGOs, we're pushing for change at the highest levels of government. And two, in partnership with 1.5 million scuba divers and activists, we're working at a grassroots level to take action in local communities of the world. Today, the dive community is becoming more and more aware of the power of its voice and its ability to influence change for critical conservation issues. For example shark and ray tourism is estimated to be worth $310,000,000 USD annually. This is an economic power that opens doors to conversations at a policy level like never before. At CITES in Thailand in 2013, this support manifested itself in the largest petition on behalf of sharks and rays (130,000 signatures) which was backed by celebrities like Leonardo Di Caprio and Survivorman Les Stroud.
Jeff:If an individual or group of divers have concerns about the conservation of their local area and wanted to start their own campaign, would Project AWARE be able to look at those concerns and offer help in some way?
Alex: Here at Project AWARE, we do believe that lasting change is people-powered. Our online conservation network, My Ocean (projectaware.org/MyOcean) was specifically designed as a platform for divers and local leaders to scale up environmental issues and actions for change. In My Ocean you can post local events and recruit volunteers, you can post images and updates on local campaigns and connect with like-minded advocates in the dive community My Ocean. So far, this unique community has over 9,000 members globally and any member can request assistance or advice on a peer to peer level. In addition, if a diver or group of divers have regional conservation concerns and want to create a local initiative or campaign they can also apply for funding from our annual Ocean Action Project. Beyond these avenues we always work as we can to provide advice or consultation to the dive community if requested about how they may address local conservation issues or create campaigns.To be continued ...

Bai Ling is an idiot
Bai Ling is rejoicing the plea bargain in her Valentine's Day shoplifting arrest. You know, the one where she got picked up for stealing batteries and two Star magazines for a total of $16.22 and didn't even try to pay for the shit on the spot. Well, Bai Ling is apparently pleased as hell with the outcome, according to the thumbs-up picture from her blog:
Theft dismissed and I am innocent!Yes!Yes!Yes!
I plead guilty today in court to " DISTURBING THE PEACE "
Theft dismissed! yes! This is it! All the darkness went away, the sunlight really come back to me with a huge smile right now dance in my trailer Yes! Yes! Yes!
I told you truth is going to be told and I am innocent!!!
Except Bai Ling left out the part where she's getting nailed with a $700 fine for, again, only sixteen bucks worth of crap. The AP reports:
In the plea deal requested by her attorney, she agreed Wednesday to plead guilty to disturbing the peace and to pay a fine and penalties totaling $700, city attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said.
What an amazing legal maneuver. The next time I'm in trouble with the law, I'm getting my legal advice from Bai Ling. What's that? The cops can't prove it's me if I leave prints all over the scene? I'm on it! Put my drivers license in the victim's mouth? Makes sense. I better leave a Post-It with my correct address though. Don't want them going to the wrong house. Ha! Could you imagine?

AN Allithwaite pub has beaten off competition from almost 100 UK companies to take runner-up position in the Britain's Friendliest Business Award.
The Pheasant Inn was one of only three businesses to reach the final round of the national competition, which is sponsored by small business funder Liberis.
The Inn, run by the Jones family, impressed judges with its customer and community ethos and the role it plays in Allithwaite and surrounding area.
The business, located on Flookburgh Road, has won marketing consultancy from a top London agency.
The Inn's customers, friends and staff championed the business and posted nearly 500 likes and messages of support which were taken into consideration during the final round of judging.
Comments posted described the Inn as 'the friendliest pub in the world' and 'a fantastic family run business'.
Commenting on the award, the Jones family said, "We are really pleased and very proud as a team to have achieved so much and got so far in this competition.
"We've had fantastic support and some lovely comments from customers, employees, friends, and even ex-staff."
Paul Mildenstein, CEO of Liberis said: "Without any doubt the Pheasant Inn is a praiseworthy runner-up and should be very proud.
"Its contribution to the community, especially meals on wheels, Age Concern lunches and fundraising is outstanding."
Helter Skelter Children's Play Centre in Broadstairs, Kent took the title of Britain's Friendliest Business and the Commercial Group in Cheltenham was a second runner-up.

A decision on west Wiltshire's largest solar farm is expected next month, now the deadline for public comments has passed.
The public consultation for the Sandridge Solar Farm bid, which would see 67 hectares of solar panels constructed on the outskirts of Melksham, ended on December 20.
When complete the site would produce approximately 10 per cent of the county's renewable energy target by 2020.
The plans have already been approved by Melksham Town, Melksham Without Parish and Bromham Parish Councils, with only Seend Parish Council voting to oppose the bid.
Director of Sandridge Solar Power St.John Hughes said: "We're delighted with the support shown for the project from the local parishes, who represent a very large proportion of the local community, and throughout this process there's been a good level of support expressed directly from members of the public too.
"We understand some people have concerns, so we have done our best to address any misinformation promptly to ensure the facts are out there."
If approved a community fund of £44,000 per year would be set up to fund local projects bringing economic, environmental or social benefits to the community.

Best Buy Looks to Crush Amazon with Price Match, Free Home Delivery This Holiday Season

(Source: allthingsd.com)
Only about 40 percent of Best Buy shoppers leave the store with a purchase in hand, but the retailer wants to bump this percentage up a bit this holiday season
Brick-and-mortar retailers have been battling with online stores for years, but
Best Buy
is looking to reclaim a place in shoppers' hearts (and wallets) this holiday season with online price matching and free home delivery.
Best Buy announced that it will match the prices of online competitors like Amazon in order to attract more customers. This is huge for Best Buy, considering it has
lost a significant amount of business
to Amazon alone. With e-tailers like Amazon, customers can shop from the comfort at home, receive lower prices and quick delivery.
But Best Buy isn't betting on price matching alone. It's heating up the competition with free home delivery of products that are out-of-stock as well.
Right now, only about 40 percent of Best Buy shoppers leave the store with a purchase in hand, but the retailer wants to bump this percentage up a bit this holiday season.
"We have a tremendous opportunity to increase that close rate," said Matthew Furman, Best Buy spokesman.
Best Buy isn't alone in its holiday efforts to beat Amazon.
is currently testing a same-day delivery service for customers that who buy popular items off of the Wal-Mart website during the holidays. Toys "R" Us is another brick-and-mortar that is working to speed up delivery and offer price matching -- however, its price matching will not include Amazon, only brick-and-mortar competitors.
An interesting aspect of the holiday season is that a growing number of shoppers have started using brick-and-mortars for showrooms -- or checking out products in person -- then going home to buy the products online.
While this is another hurdle that brick-and-mortars must overcome, strangely, they're embracing this model.
"Let's be the best showroom," said Mike Duke, Wal-Mart CEO. "Let's be the best place where customers want to go and get the experience."
According to the brick-and-mortar stores, they can still offer things that Amazon can't. For instance, human customer service and options for purchase like online
brick-and-mortar stores. They added that Amazon now
must collect sales tax
in many U.S. states, so prices are not quite as low on the site as before.
To further hinder Amazon's sales, Wal-Mart and Target have
stopped selling the e-tailer's Kindle Fire tablet
The Wall Street Journal
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Who doesn't like a free movie? We can help with that. We have 10 passes to see Pariah, which screens Wednesday at the Angelika. Spike Lee executive produced the film which is an expansion on writer/director Dee Rees' 2007 short film of the same name. The full-length premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. From Focus Features.
Alike is quietly but firmly embracing her identity as a lesbian. With the sometimes boisterous support of her best friend, out lesbian Laura (Pernell Walker), Alike is especially eager to find a girlfriend. At home, her parents' marriage is strained and there is further tension in the household whenever Alike's development becomes a topic of discussion. Pressed by her mother into making the acquaintance of a colleague's daughter, Bina (Aasha Davis), Alike finds Bina to be unexpectedly refreshing to socialize with.
Wondering how much she can confide in her family, Alike strives to get through adolescence with grace, humor, and tenacity – sometimes succeeding, sometimes not, but always moving forward.
Passes admit two, but seating is first come, so get there early as the pass can not guarantee admission. Wanna ticket? OK, come on up to our offices before Wednesday (that's Dec. 28) by noon before we start wrapping up the week's issue and close up for the holidays. You know where we are, right?
Pariah is rated R.

High-brightness LEDs are critical semiconductor technologies for energy efficiency, safety and next generation displays. Improvements in cost per lumen and lighting quality of high-brightness light emitting diodes (HB-LEDs) parallel those of Moore's Law, promising huge opportunities in solid state lighting, display backlighting and other high-brightness applications. Like Moore's Law, reaching the full potential of LEDs requires the global LED manufacturing supply chain to collaborate on technology roadmaps and industry standards to reduce costs and spur innovation.

Using Css this flips the mirror image. In testing this is fullproof http://albertogasparin.it/scraps/2011/02/rtl-better-email-obfuscation-css-anchor/. However, the css/html only you cant use mailto also. So it's unclickable. This guy http://albertogasparin.it/scraps/2011/02/rtl-better-email-obfuscation-css-anchor/ has a almost near perfect solution. Using JS he makes it clickable and flips it. However it's a little buggy. But its proof of concept! On my ipad it works perfect. In firefox on click it loads default email program and fills the the send to box but with this ""%firstname.lastname@example.com%20%20%20%20%20. In IE like this "%email@example.com" and on click changes it back to reverse "moc.niamod@liame".
So in a perfect world I'm hoping someone can fix the js. Then I will try and feed the backwards text with JS or other. Because if js fails I dont want it there. Its no longer clickable and if you copy and paste it it pastes the reverse text. Thats no good. So I'll do some noscript thing or something.

It is picking up the spaces on either side of the email address and they end up each encoded as %20
There are a couple of ways to fix it.

if (!String.trim) {
String.prototype.trim = function() {
return this.replace(/^\\s*(.*?)\\s*$/,"$1");}
Alternatively you could just use the replace instead of trim:

Thanks! I figure the space isssue soon after posting. Like this? In IE it still flips the text on click
moc.niamod@liame
Testing on my IPad the following code that you edited in doesn't seem to work.
 moc.niamod@liame
Does it work for you?
Ya I just checked on my desktop. I can't get either code example to work correctly. Thanks for looking!
There doesn't seem to be any perfect way to encode an email address. I prefer a contact form, but where a client wants the email address there too, I just use this handy encoder form:
It only works with JS on, of course. So I tend to encode the whole line that invites the visitor to get in contact via email. That way, if JS is off, the user doesn't see anything at all, and just has to use the contact form instead.
Another option I like is to retype the email address by replacing each character in numeric character references. For example, and address like
would be written as
I'm not sure how that plays with screen readers, though.
I was looking at this enkoder Ralph. It looks pretty good at first. But thinking about it. So...
The source code is...

In hide.js...
document.getElementById('hide').innerHTML = 'email@example.com';
Generated source code...
email@example.com
As you can see they both spit out the same generated source code. Although my second one here keeps it completely out of the html. This is just one of 10 different ways I've been messing with. Trying to see if I can find a better way. A pure CSS/PHP way is the best. Ive got a couple of those but they dont hide it very well.
Look at this obfuscator http://www.jottings.com/obfuscator/. I don't think the bots will ever read that
I don't think they can, but perhaps I'm wrong? Not sure ... Of course, humans can read the generated code, and plenty of them are spammers, so you are never going to get off scot-free. :rolleyes:
Pretty sure Google can read read generated code. So smart bots probably can.
Felgall - or other - can you please run that OP code and get that bad boy working? I know it's possible!
Look at this bad boy! by Eric. Js on or off works perfect. href is hid and the link email text is hid. I like to use the email in the anchor text not "Email me" or other. As the article in OP says the css display none is fullproof. I wanted to use the other css ways. But the content property one firefox and chrome cant copy the text. And the reverse css one the text is copied in reverse.

>Cross Training>Will running help my hiking?
I see the issue now, sport jester. You said "OP' but you don't know what that means.
Prince of Fatness
This is who he trains....
read by a bunch of wannabes
So what are you? A wannabe running coach?
Actually most of those seeking SEAL careers are playing collegiate level sports. Lacrosse, wrestling, water polo, as well as others.
Experts said the world is flat
Experts said that man would never fly
Experts said we'd never go to the moon
Name me one of those "experts"...
History never remembers the name of experts; just the innovators who had the guts to challenge and prove the "experts" wrong
Original post.
It was a question if running improved his hiking. The two require completely different skills of movement. Which is a difference I'm still waiting for anyone to explain.
I am the original poster. I think the point of my original question was not directed to mechanics of running vs hiking or trail running vs hiking. I was more interested in the cardio / muscle strength and endurance aspects of it. If I could run 26.2 miles I should be able to hike 20 miles easier as opposed to someone who doesn't run. I think you also forgot I have to carry 45 pounds on my back. Anyways, if you guys want to know what happened on my June hike, here is the video below. I felt pretty good for the first 6 hours until I got food poisoning and almost died out there 3 days later. thanks JackNthebox fast food.!!! Hopefully in the upcoming spring I will attempt this hike again and see how the running helps my hiking.

Hey Wolf, I'm glad you enjoyed your challenge. While I apologize for the direction of the thread melting into a series of personal attacks of my credibility, unfortunately its what I put up with to offer advice to anyone.
Load bearing is a skill. And posters here won't mention that reality is because they know nothing of the subject or its connection to running skill. Since most here think a subscription to a running magazine qualifies them as a forum expert, their education ineptness offers nothing anyone can use to improve their movement skills.
Because the children of the best at load bearing are the ones dominating distance running events. And since no expert can explain that reality besides myself, their pathetic sideshow of trying to attack me is their only way to deal with someone who knows more about running than they do.
The story is the best at load bearing are actually the women of Kenya. Since they're documented in ability to carry 20% of their bodyweight with no increase in energy expenditure, this article link is what I use with my own private clients.http://www.ottopohl.com/Stories/2002_Stories/NYTheads2.htm
In short; the best at running and load bearing don't walk like we do, run like we do, or carry weight as ineptly as we do..
Unlike any pompous windbag (including Salazar) is a list which includes everyone who posts here as well that cannot describe how they do it.
What makes me different is that I can. Not only can I explain the women, but teach the skill as well.
And that's why distracting you from being helped is the goal of everyone here. Attacking me is the only means anyone has here to keep people from following the advice I share and validating it for others.
Because if you want to be a better runner, you first have to learn how to be a better walker. And that skill is determined by your ability to carry weight, which is why military clients understand and appreciate what I teach.
Since you're attempting another event later, if you want to train for load bearing maneuverability, then your training routine has to be vastly different than your road running preparation. That's the science behind improving your cardio skills before you even begin to focus on your speed skills regardless to terrain environment.
And of course you can write me privately to have a more adult conversation than possible here.
Son, no one can explain women.
"I want you to pray as if everything depends on it, but I want you to prepare yourself as if everything depends on you."
Whatever running you are doing, I'd be making sure to get in a good hill repeat session once a week every week. That type of workout would more specific to your hiking.

All of our menu items comtaining brisket require it being sliced.

Revellers in Marlborough danced the night away at the town's first high society ball at the town hall.
It was organised as the grand finale of the concert and high tea season.
Guests enjoyed music from the Ritz palm court and 1950s Hollywood performed by the High Society Orchestra.
They were also treated to a dance by six times UK Ten Dance Champions Morgan Hemphill and Richard still.
A silent auction and luxury raffle raised around £900 for Wiltshire Air Ambulance and the Finley Foundation.
Organiser Tom Bott said: "We even auctioned off the chance to conduct and perform with the orchestra on the night, which attracted a lot of interest."
Organisers hope to host another event in the summer.

Met Police boss Jim Cooper was delighted to see his side progress in the FA Cup with 2-0 win over Dereham Town last night, writes Tom Ambrose.
Jonte Smith's early strike put the Met in control before Tyron Smith's late strike in stoppage time sealed the replay win.
They next face a trip to Combined Counties outfit South Park in the fourth qualifying round.
Boss Cooper, who was sent to the stands as tempers flared late in the game, said: "We controlled the game and probably had enough chances to win the cup.
"I'm very pleased with the result and performance. Our goal was to reach the first round proper and we're one step closer.
"South Park is a massive opportunity and we will be approaching the game in the right manner."
The Met piled on the pressure early and made the breakthrough with a piece of individual brilliance from in-form Jonte Smith after 15 minutes.
The striker collected the ball outside the box before jinking his way through the Dereham backline and slotting through keeper Andrew Wilton's legs.
Dereham had a rare chance to draw level on fifteen minutes later when Nicky Howell beat the offside trap before firing hopelessly over.
Before the break, the Met went close again when Howard Newton met Craig Brown's cross but saw his rising header clear the crossbar.
Early in the second half, Tyron Smith carried the ball from midfield but couldn't keep his audacious drive on target.
With the game stretched, Howard Newton had a great one-on-one to seal the win but a bobble at the crucial moment saw his effort balloon over.
With Dereham throwing everybody forward late on, Tyron Smith took advantage on the break, his fierce drive proving unstoppable to Wilton's right.
With full time approaching, tempers flared on the touchline and boss Cooper found himself sent to the stands.
He said: "I don't know why I was sent off. Elliot Taylor made a comment to their bench and they reacted.
"I tried to stop them charging onto the pitch to and the referee sent me off.
"He said he'll rescind it after talking to his linesman, who could see I was peacekeeper."

Looks like Ramsea to me. It's definately an r though not an h. Jayden Matthews 12:27, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
- I had been debating with myself whether that was an "H" or an "R". I ended up chosing "H", thinking that the top part was part of the stone's tint. It's great to hear a second oppinion! :D I'll move the article right away. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 12:37, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
Rebecca R.
Is this not the same tombstone as Rebecca R.'s? The stones are identical, Becca is a derivation/diminutive of Rebecca, and Ramsea starts with "R". --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 03:28, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

MS and clinical trials: A call for questions
I am preparing for a multiple sclerosis webcast that will happen in early February. The topic for this conversation will be phase III clinical trials and I'll have guests from around the country join us to talk about many aspects of this subject.
As always, I want to make sure that "real" questions and concerns are addressed during the webcast and I'd like to know your questions about clinical trials.
What would you like to know? Let me put that another way: If you were sitting in a room with two well renowned MS researchers and a person living with MS who has been in a phase III clinical trial, what would you ask them?
Some of my questions are: How do you get into a trial? What are the risks? Do I have to stop using my current drugs? What would you ask?
This webcast comes during a time when we are awaiting an MS pill. We wait while others act as human guinea pigs (I actually think they use rats but that's not the point) for our benefit.
The format of this webcast will be a little different as we won't have live questions from our audience. This makes it all the more important to get your questions now before the webcast even starts!
I'll be posting the logistics of this MS webcast (such as when and where in a later post) but for now, put your mind to what you would ask that group in a room. Heck, think of it as a cocktail party and you might feel a little more at ease asking.
When you think of a question (or several) just jot them in the comment section below and I'll incorporate as many as I can into our conversation.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you and as always,
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Our Polio Main Article provides a comprehensive look at the who, what, when and how of Polio
Medical Definition of Polio
Polio: Abbreviation for poliomyelitis, an acute and sometimes devastating disease caused by a virus. Man is the only natural host for polio virus. The virus enters the mouth and multiplies in lymphoid tissues in the throat and intestine. Small numbers of virus enter the blood and go to other sites where the virus multiplies more extensively. Another round of viremia (virus in the bloodstream) leads to invasion of the central nervous system (CNS), the spinal cord and brain, the target sites struck by the virus.
In polio, there is inflammation of the central nervous system, especially the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord and the brainstem (the portion of the brain between the cerebral hemispheres and spinal cord).
Polio can be a minor illness, as it is in 80-90% of clinical infections, chiefly in young children, and not involve the CNS. Symptoms are slight fever, malaise, headache, sore throat, and vomiting 3-5 days after exposure. Recovery occurs in 24-72 hours. This is termed the abortive type of polio.
As a major illness, polio may or may not be paralytic. Symptoms usually appear without prior illness, particularly in older children and adults, 7-14 days after exposure. Symptoms are fever, severe headache, stiff neck and back, deep muscle pain, and sometimes areas of hyperesthesia (increased sensation) and paresthesia (altered sensation). There may be no further progression from this picture of viral meningitis ("aseptic" meningitis) or there be loss of tendon reflexes and weakness or paralysis of muscle groups.
Recovery is complete in the abortive and nonparalytic forms of polio. In paralytic polio, about 50% of patients recover with no residual paralysis, about 25% are left with mild disabilities, and the remaining patients have severe permanent disability. The greatest return of muscle function occurs in the first 6 months, but improvement may continue for up to 2 years. Physical therapy is the most important part of treatment of paralytic polio during convalescence. The ideal strategy with polio is clearly to prevent it by immunization against poliovirus.
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945) had polio and worked with the National Foundation/March of Dimes to raise money to combat this once-fearsome scourge. Polio(myelitis) is also called infantile paralysis.

Lions Week 13 game at New Orleans flexed to Sunday Night Football
Posted by ttwentyman on November 21, 2011 12:19 pm
After another thrilling come-from-behind victory against the Panthers Sunday in which the Lions became the first team in NFL history to win three games in a single season after trailing by 17+ points, the Lions are becoming must-see television.
As such, the NFL has flexed the Lions vs. Saints game to their featured Sunday Night game at 8:30 p.m. on NBC. Dec. 4. The game was originally scheduled for a 1 p.m. start in New Orleans.
It will be the first time the Lions are featured on NBCs Sunday Night Football.
The team played their first Monday Night Football game since 2001 when they hosted, and beat, the Bears on Oct. 10 at Ford Field. The Lions play on national television (FOX) this Thanksgiving Day against the Packers.
It will be the first time the Lions will play back-to-back nationally televised games since 2000 when they beat the Patriots on Thanksgiving and then lost to the Vikings a week later on ESPN Thursday Night Football.
The Saints currently sit atop the NFC South with a 7-3 record. They hold a one-game lead over the Falcons (6-3), who beat the Lions back in October.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Final Stats | Postgame Notes And Quotes | Season Stats
The University of Wyoming men's basketball team matched its best start in team history by winning its 12th-consecutive game with a 56-40 victory over the UC Santa Barbara on Friday in the Double A. Senior forward Leonard Washington led all scorers with 17 points while pulling down 11 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season. Fellow senior Luke Martinez chipped in 14 points and four steals for the Pokes.
The Cowboys rode a 32-17 second half to down the Gauchos, tying a season-low 40 points allowed, which also came against UCSB on Nov. 28. Wyoming moved its winning streak to 12 games marking the sixth time in school history a Cowboy team has matched that feat. At 12-0 the Cowboys are one of eight teams left in the country undefeated.
"I thought our guys showed great effort tonight, particularly in the second half," Wyoming head coach Larry Shyatt said. "We were after every loose ball, or what we call 50-50 balls. When you play with effort like that it sends the right message to everyone on the team. We held them to one for 13 from three, and the `Boss', Leonard (Washington), went to work and took us from a one-point deficit to a seven-point lead. Then we were able to knock down some threes and got a comfortable lead."
Washington led all scorers with 17 points and 11 rebounds. It was Washington's 10th game this season in double figures and his 32nd of his career. Martinez's 14 points is also his 10th game this season in double figures and the 32nd of his career. Martinez finished 2-of-7 from the three point line to move his career three pointers to 116, two short of tying Maurice Alexander for ninth on UW's all-time top 10. Sophomore forward Larry Nance Jr. and senior guard Derrious Gilmore each added seven points and combined for seven assists. Nance led the Pokes and the game with a career-high four assists. As a team the Cowboys, assisted on 12 of their 19 baskets in the game and turned the ball over just eight times.
The Cowboys, led 24-23 at halftime, but gave up the first basket of the second half to trail for the first time, 25-24. At the 17:49 mark of the second half, Washington took the game over scoring eight-consecutive points over the next 3:10 to give UW a 32-25 lead, which it never relinquished. Following a UCSB layup, Nance knocked down a three to advance the Cowboy lead to eight points. The Gauchos hit a two pointer on the next possession before Nance scored another layup to put the UW up by eight. Santa Barbara hit two free throws to pull back within six at 37-31 at the 12:08 mark. The following possession, a Washington dunk sparked a Cowboy run that put the Gauchos away for good. With the score 39-31, Gilmore knocked down his first three of the game to give UW an 11 point advantage. Following a UCSB layup, Martinez hit back-to-back threes to give the Pokes a double-digit lead at 15 that they would never lose. The Pokes ended the game on a 17-9 run over the final 12:08. During that run, UW allowed UCSB just three field goals giving up a season-low 17 second-half points.
"I thought two key things happened tonight," Shyatt said. "We took care of the ball from the onset of the game -- only eight turnovers. The last time we played this team, we won the game, but we had 16 turnovers. Second, we made extra pass after extra pass -- sometimes maybe too many -- but that is the luxury of having an unselfish team."
The Cowboys opened the game on a 6-0 run started by a Martinez jumper, a Josh Adams layup and a Gilmore jumper. The Gauchos got on the board with an Alan Williams dunk to make the score 6-2. An Adams jumper extended the UW lead to 8-2. Santa Barbara scored on its next two possessions to pull within two at 8-6. A Nance dunk from an offensive rebound sparked the Pokes to a 7-0 run. A Washington layup and Grabau three pointer added to the Pokes 15-6 lead. After going nearly five minutes without a basket the Gauchos hit two free throws to end the UW run and make the score 15-8.
UCSB hit another two on the next possession to cap a 4-0 run and make the score 15-10. Washington converted a three-point play on the following possession to give the Cowboys a 18-10 advantage. Neither team scored for the next minute and a half before a UCSB layup ended the draught making the score 18-12. Martinez was fouled on a three pointer the next possession converting 1-of-3 to make the score 19-12. Kyle Boswell scored five-consecutive points for the Gauchos to bring them within two at 19-17 with 4:30 to go in the first half. Martinez sparked the Cowboys over the next minute scoring five-consecutive points of his own growing the lead to seven points at 24-17. The Gauchos held the Cowboys scoreless over the final 2:52 of the first half scoring six in a row including a buzzer-beating layup as time expired in the first half. At the half the Pokes led by one 24-23, but would go on to win with a 32-17 second half.
The Cowboys will be off for the holidays before returning to action on Jan. 2, 2013 in Dallas, Texas, with a matchup against SMU.
"These guys deserve (a break)," Shyatt said. "They now get four and a half days to enjoy time with the people who are important to them. I can't wait to get back on the 27th (of December) and go back to work and hopefully keep this thing going."

Morse's homer in eighth leads Mariners to victory
Iwakuma allows one unearned run on three hits over six innings
SEATTLE -- Outfielder Michael Morse has spent the past three weeks trying to regain his early-season stroke, and the Mariners slugger found it just in time on Sunday with an eighth-inning home run that lifted Seattle to a 2-1 victory over the Angels at Safeco Field.
Morse punched the air with his right hand, the one sporting a pinkie finger he fractured on April 11, as he rounded first base after driving a Jason Vargas fastball 394 feet over the left-field fence for the winning run, as Seattle captured its first series victory of the season.
"We wanted to win this series bad," Morse said. "We've been fighting and it was a tough game, a pitcher's game. We're going to have a lot of these one-run games, and to come out on top like that means a lot for the character of this team."
Morse now has seven homers on the year, one back of the American League lead, but this was his first since April 9, after he went into the deep freeze upon taking a pitch off his hand against the Rangers.
"Early I was thinking about it and it was affecting my play, but now I'm trying not to think about it," said Morse, who capped a 2-for-4 day with his game-winner. "There's guys in this clubhouse going through a lot more aches and pains every day than me with a little pinkie. I'll just keep pushing. It's baseball."
The win lifted the Mariners to a 3-1 series victory, their first four-game series victory over the Halos since 2003, and edged them past the Angels into third place in the American League West at 11-16. Anaheim is 9-15.
Reliever Carter Capps picked up the win with two scoreless innings in the seventh and eighth and Tom Wilhelmsen notched his eighth save with a perfect ninth after Mariners right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma set the table with six strong innings.
Iwakuma lowered his ERA to 1.67 as he allowed just three hits and an unearned run in the sixth when shortstop Robert Andino let a Mike Trout grounder go under his glove and Andrew Romine scored from second.
The former Japanese standout engaged in a spirited duel with Jason Vargas, who was facing the Mariners for the first time since being traded to the Angels for Kendrys Morales over the offseason.
Vargas has yet to win a game for his new squad as he fell to 0-3. But back in the friendly and familiar confines of Safeco Field, the veteran lefty pitched his best game of the year against his former mates, allowing just two runs in eight innings, both coming on long balls to Jason Bay and Morse.
Bay tied the game at 1-1 with his second homer of the year, a line drive over the left-field fence on the first pitch of the seventh.
"His changeup was really good today, so I was trying to get to a situation where I didn't have to see it," Bay said, after striking out his first two at-bats against Vargas. "If I could get a fastball early, I was going to attack it, which is the plan a lot of times, but right there I got one I could handle and didn't miss it."
The Mariners were happy to get Iwakuma off the hook after his well-pitched outing was marred only by the unearned run. He's now 4-0 with a 1.03 ERA in six games against the Angels, including one relief appearance last season before moving into the rotation.
"He doesn't throw anything straight and you can't really sit on anything," said Trout, who went 0-for-4 to drop his career tally against Iwakuma to 2-for-16. "He had a good plan today, kept us off balance. Every time we face him, he's a tough one to beat. He pitched well today."
Since last year's All-Star break, Iwakuma has the lowest ERA among all American League starters at 2.27. Unfortunately for the 32-year-old, none of that was enough to get him in the win column on a day Seattle's bats stayed silent against Vargas until after Iwakuma's departure.
But Iwakuma was encouraged that a season-long blister issue on his middle finger didn't cause as much of a problem, as he went six innings on 92 pitches.
"It's a lot better than the last start," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki. "So hopefully we're making progress from here on."
Manager Eric Wedge said Iwakuma would have his next start pushed back to give him extra rest, since Seattle finally has a few off days coming up. He's tentatively scheduled to pitch next Sunday in Toronto, which would give him an extra two days between starts.
"Definitely, more time off will help the finger heal and the skin will get much harder, so I do think it'll be better down the road," Iwakuma said.
Dustin Ackley continued his recent surge as he extended his hitting streak to nine games with a 1-for-3 day. He's hit .406 (13-for-32) during that stretch to raise his average from .145 to .241.
Kyle Seager saw his 16-game hitting streak end with an 0-for-4 outing.

THE father of one of Ramsbottom United's football bosses was one of three spectators injured during a mass crowd brawl at Radcliffe Borough's ground.
Violence erupted at the non-league match between Radcliffe Borough and Lancaster City at the side of the pitch, in front of the corporate lounges at Radcliffe's Stainton Park ground around 4.40pm on Saturday.
Three supporters were taken to hospital, one of whom was 54-year-old James Morley, the father of Ramsbottom United joint manager Bernard Morley.
He suffered a broken nose and fractured cheekbone as well as other wounds, after being attacked by other fans with a seat and an umbrella.
It is understood that supporters of Ramsbottom United had gone to watch the Radcliffe match after their scheduled match with Farsley Celtic was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch, when a fracas broke out with Lancaster fans.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said that those involved were not Radcliffe Borough fans.
The spokesman also said that no arrests had so far been made, but that inquiries were ongoing.
Bernard Morley, aged 29, said the team had a good relationship with Radcliffe and regularly supported them when their own team was not playing.
He said: "I was standing to the left of the entrance when it happened and I looked over and saw my dad covered in blood.
"Four or five people had attacked him. He was completely outnumbered.
"He's been left with a broken nose, a fractured cheekbone, two black eyes and four wounds on his head.
"My mum, who's 53, was also pushed to the floor. Both of them are really shaken up.
"It's an absolute disgrace. I'm disgusted that someone would use weapons like this. It's not acceptable at a match, or anywhere."
The match was stopped for about 20 minutes before it resumed.
Footage of the incident emerged on YouTube, where the stadium announcer can be heard describing the incident as "embarrassing".
He is heard to say: "All those spectators from Ramsbottom and the supporters from Lancaster, thank you for disgracing Radcliffe Borough today."
Harry Williams, Ramsbottom United chairman, said: "Obviously I'm not happy about what's happened, but everything's up in the air at the moment."
Dave Chalmers, managing director of Radcliffe Borough, said there had not been any trouble at the ground since the club was formed in 1949.
He said: "I was doing the paperwork in my office and someone said it had gone off. When I had gone out to look it had calmed down, but I went into the lounge and saw Bernard Morley.
"What was annoying and pathetic was that there were children about. A little lad was with his dad and was really upset, and was frightened to death."
A statement on the Lancaster City website read: "An incident that occurred in the public area during the match at Radcliffe Borough last Saturday is in the hands of the authorities, and we are awaiting the outcome of enquiries, which will take account of evidence from all sides."
A spokesman for the Football Assocation confirmed it had launched an investigation into the incident.
