MARLBOROUGH College student Alessandro Latif is set to make his sports-prototype debut in the world's most gruelling and important endurance sportscar race next month when he takes to the track at Le Mans, writes Sam Morshead.
Latif, who was 18 last month, will race a British-built Zytek in the 82nd edition of the 24-hour classic in June.
The speedster has been given the chance by Peterborough-based Greaves Motorsport team and is only due to get behind the wheel of a Zytek for the first time this week.
"I was close to racing for them at the end of last year in Bahrain but didn't compete due to financial reasons. I'm desperately hoping that I can attract some funding and support for my maiden Le Mans campaign," he said.
For Latif, competing in the prestigious Le Mans race marks the end of a hectic six-month period laying the foundations for a career in GT and now sportscar racing.
Last November, he was invited by Audi Sport to test for them in Spain as part of its annual young driver test. Then in January he took part in his maiden twice-around-the-clock race, finishing fifth in the Daytona 24-hour. He went on to finish eighth – highest of any Brit – in the Sebring 12-hour two months later.
"Le Mans marks my second 24-hour race after Daytona. My experience is limited but at least I know what to expect in a race of such duration although Le Mans is like no other race," he said.
"This is my biggest race to date and actually the biggest race possible I could ever compete in. Daytona and Sebring were pretty big and special as well but Le Mans is Le Mans – there is literally nothing else like it in the world and it has always been my dream to race there."
Latif will get the chance to drive on the 8.47-mile circuit at the only test opportunity on Sunday. He will, however, conduct a shakedown test at Snetterton in Norfolk before the official test day.

A paramedic from Worcester Park, who witnessed the 1975 Brixton riots while on duty, has been recognised for his 40 years of service.
David Amer, 60, was commended by the London Ambulance Service (LAS) during a ceremony in Westminster earlier this month, following his retirement after 42 years.
The father-of-two, who joined LAS in 1972, said: "Over the years I've been to every kind of incident including stabbings, shootings, crashes and births.
"I liked the excitement of not knowing what I was going to next and not knowing what the day ahead would hold.
"I gave 110 per cent to the ambulance service and have no regrets."
Mr Amer was posted to Battersea ambulance station in 1975, attending both the Brixton riots of that year and the bombing at the Chelsea Barracks in Westminster in 1981.
He recalled one moment when the ambulance he was travelling in was attacked by rioters.
After years on the front-line, Mr Amer took a control room training course and began answering 999 calls.
Also being commended alongside Mr Amer was Chris English, 56, who retired after was 26 years' service, including 10 years in Tolworth.
Mr English said: "An incident I remember was when we were called to a fire in November 1996.
"Firefighters handed us the bodies of two children, who were effectively dead. We worked on both of them and managed to get them back and they were at home with their families for Christmas.
"It's cases like that where I think I must have made a difference, which is very rewarding."
London Ambulance Service Chairman Richard Hunt said: "We were incredibly proud to recognise these staff for their bravery and dedication. Their commitment over the years has ensured that Londoners get the very best urgent and emergency medical care."

NEIGHBOURS were forced to wake a drunk Nelson man who turned his chip pan on and went to bed.
Residents in Sackville Street were woken by smoke alarms at around 3.15am yesterday, and alerted the man who had slept through the noise.
Two fire engines from Nelson were called to the terraced street to put out the blaze, which damaged the man's kitchen.
Crew manager Nigel Greenwood said: "Never cook whilst under the influence of alcohol.
"Either make sandwiches before you leave your home or get food from a takeaway."
Neighbour Jacqui Strutt, 42, said: "I was woken up by the smoke alarm going off.
"It is bedsits at the house and the person was sleeping in the room next to the kitchen, so I don't know how they didn't wake up.
"When I came outside someone was already banging on the door and had woken the man up to get him out."
Shazad Liaqot, who lives across the road from the house, said: "I came down when I heard the smoke alarm and people were already out. There were three lads and a girl stood outside the house.
"Two fire engines turned up and they were probably there for about half an hour.
"I think they had closed the kitchen door so they managed to make sure the fire didn't spread to any of the other rooms."
Crew manager Greenwood reiterated the importance of having a working smoke alarm and said: "A smoke alarm is the easiest way to alert you to the danger of fire, giving you and your family time to escape."

Did you know?
The Tatham Art Gallery is housed in the old Supreme Court Building, dating back to 1875.
Situated in Pietermaritzburg, this KwaZulu-Natal art gallery has had more than 100 years to work on its collection of regional and international art.
Established by Ada Tatham in 1903, the core of the Tatham Art Gallery's collection initially came from a donation by Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Whitwell. By 1926, he had given over 400 items to the gallery. These included significant 18th century British and French artworks, post-Victorian British paintings, Lalique glass, oriental carpets and examples of work from the Barbizon School. Known as the Whitwell Collection, it also included objets d'art from Japan, China, Russia and Persia.
Over the years, additional donations and purchases have added to this Pietermaritzburg art gallery's collection, moving away from accumulating colonial art towards more diverse forms of South African art, especially work from KwaZulu-Natal.
These include sets of prints by students from the Rorke's Drift Art School, known as the Johansson Collection, domestic ceramic pieces from South Africa's first commercial ceramic studios, known as the Millin Collection, and the Lorna Peirson Collection of work by students from the Ndaleni Art School in Richmond.
The gallery permanently exhibits a range of art. Upstairs you will find pieces by South African and European artists, while downstairs houses work by local KwaZulu-Natal artists. There are also many works on display in the gallery's main stairwell. Of particular interest are pieces created by Sickert, Wilson Steer, Boudin and Sisley and a number of South African pieces, such as sculptures by Mandlenkosi Zondi. You can also view a variety of traditional crafts, as well as a rare documented Zulu love letter.
As well as sharing its collection with the public, the Tatham Art Gallery continues to support local artists. Its main exhibition room downstairs is used to host annual exhibitions by South African artists. These include solo shows, group exhibitions and travelling exhibitions. There is also a ceramics room and the Schreiner Gallery, a smaller exhibition space for temporary exhibits.

Cases of cholera infections in Haiti remained high in July as the rainy season continues to spread the waterborne disease. The most recent numbers show that people treated in PIH/ZL clinics have declined slightly from 14,425 in June to 12,629 in July, but are still nearly triple the 3,932 cases reported in April. This comes as the Haiti's Ministry of Health announced over the weekend that the overall death toll from cholera is steadily approaching 6,000.
Tropical Storm Emily soaked Haiti's southern peninsula on August 4th causing some flooding on the coast and in and around Port-au-Prince. PIH/ZL tents in the capital city suffered minor damage, but none of our sites in the Central Plateau or Lower Artibonite were affected. PIH/ZL is ready for the hurricane season with a full operational stock and a contingency container of hurricane modules.
Haiti's rainy season exacerbates the cholera situation, while stressing and disrupting the country's woefully inadequate water and sewage systems.
Of the 12,390 cholera cases treated at PIH/ZL facilities in July, 29 patients died. It is difficult to track the number of Haitians who perish either in their communities or en route to seek treatment at a PIH/ZL facility.
In response to the cholera crisis, PIH/ZL staff continues to build latrines, train hygiene agents, and distribute soap, bleach and water-purification tablets. Additionally, staff continues to conduct research to determine the best treatment practices moving forward.
PIH/ZL caseloads are consistent with those found throughout Haiti. On August 14, Haiti's Ministry of Health reported that cholera fatalities rose to just short of 6,000 as of July 31. More than 420,000 Haitians have been infected since the outbreak started in October; 600 new cases are registered daily.

As part of Curves and Chaos going "PINK" for Breast Cancer Awareness month, I'm going to featuring brands and events that benefit the cause.
I actually got the email from Forever 21 last week about their support for the fight against breast cancer.
They have a special Pink is Courage collection, they will donate 10% of each item sold from that collection to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
I went in on Friday and bought the Strength French Terry Pullover $19.80. I can't wait to wear it and show my support.
I love that they are offering these items in different sizes, especially in their plus collection. The entire Pink is Courage collection is priced $4.80-$29.80. I'm sad, I didn't see that umbrella when I was in the store. Guess, I have to go back and get it.

"X Files: I Want to Believe" is the name of a new movie released in the United States July 25, 2008. The movie is based on The X Files TV series. According to the July 2008 issue of the electronic Cineplex Entertainment magazine (Canada), one of the characters in the show, Fox Mulder, had a poster on the wall of his office with a photo of an "alien" spaceship and the words "I Want to Believe" in block letters. The poster was created by the show's production team, and it is widely believed the photo was taken by Billy Meier, a 71-year-old Swiss farmer who claims he's had more than 100 face-to-face and telepathic visits with aliens since age five. He refers to many of these aliens by name - Sfath, Asket, Semjase.
According to the article, Meier has travelled the world photographing aliens and their vehicles, which he calls beamships. The representatives for Meier's organization, the Free Community of Interests for the Fringe and Spiritual Sciences and UFOlogical Studies, or FIGU (the acronym works in German), agree the poster seems to be inspired by Meier's pics, but they don't believe the photo is one of Meier's. FIGU Switzerland representative Christian Frehner says the creators of The X Files would have wanted to avoid infringing on Meier's copyright. Frehner adds that the ironic thing is that "I Want to Believe" is contradictory to his group's beliefs, calling it a "really silly sentence and far, far away from everything Billy Meier and FIGU stands for."
"We are trying to avoid 'to believe' because believing is not knowing," says Frehner. "The object of 'belief' can never be proven and is, therefore, unreal. Belief is the foundation of religions, which, in turn, are responsible for the enslavement of the people's thinking and acting. We FIGU members are striving for the truth in all things, the facts, logic and natural laws."
Editorial Comment: FIGU is searching for aliens because they "believe" aliens exist, in fact, they "know" aliens exist. It is ironic, however, that a group searching for life in outer space is "striving for the truth", but makes an assumption about belief and religion that will prevent them from discovering the most important truth. Scripture states that "I know whom I have believed ..." (2 Timothy 1:12) Contrary to FIGU's philosophy, believing is knowing, when you believe in the One who is Truth - Jesus Christ. We should all, lay people, scientists, philosophers, and theologians alike, strive "for the truth in all things, the facts, logic, and natural laws." (Ref. Space, universe, life)

W. Mifflin, Central Valley poised for WPIAL semifinal shootout
If contrasting styles make for compelling fights, West Mifflin and Central Valley could produce a special WPIAL Class AAA semifinal Friday night.
Third-seeded Central Valley's exceptional talent against the precision of the Titans' ball-control offense illustrates two contrasting teams with one common goal — to play next week at Heinz Field.
Led by tailback Jimmy Wheeler and an offensive line that has dominated almost every opponent this season, West Mifflin (10-1) is fresh off an upset over second-seeded Mars and feeling confident.
"It's not going to be easy," West Mifflin coach Ray Braszo said. "But beating a team like that last week does have us feeling good. It's not cockiness, but it is confidence."
Braszo's style is simple, but it works. He wants his team to run the ball effectively and have time-consuming drives. Against an explosive team like Central Valley (9-2), such a game plan already is required.
Central Valley coach Mark Lyons knows what No. 7 West Mifflin will do Friday, and he also knows that having advanced knowledge of the Titans' plan is worthless.
"That's the thing about Coach Braszo's teams over the years," Lyons said. "They don't try to trick you. His teams are going to be fundamentally sound, they're going to execute as well as anyone, and they won't make mistakes. That's what they do. His teams have been that way for a long time."
If West Mifflin is the stoic, predictable team in this matchup, Central Valley is the opposite.
Boasting one of the WPIAL's best players and one of its most explosive offenses, Central Valley would prefer to turn the game into a shootout.
West Mifflin will have an eye on Central Valley wideout Robert Foster, Braszo said.
"He's just an incredible football player," Braszo said. "They have a lot of good players, but he's different. He's just so big, and if he gets in the open field, forget about it."
Foster, one of the area's most sought-after players, is a significant part of Central Valley's game plan. The West Mifflin defense might be the best Foster has faced all season, but Lyons intends on getting his star the ball as much as possible.
"He's a special talent," Braszo said. "We're coming down to the end of an extraordinary high school career. We're hoping we can extend it just for the sheer enjoyment of watching him play again."
Keeping Foster off the field is West Mifflin's ultimate goal, and they might have the perfect attack to make such a thing happen. Wheeler, a star in his own right, has exploded onto the scene this season by becoming the first player in West Mifflin history to rush for 2,000 yards.
Wheeler's talent is obvious, but Braszo is just as eager to applaud his offensive line.
"I've been saying all along that those guys are the key for our football team," Braszo said. "They've done a great job of making holes for our running backs. If you're going to have success in our offense, you better have a good line. They've been a heck of a strength."
For all their schematic differences — West Mifflin regularly runs the ball out of the same formations, while Central Valley is more balanced and frequently changes looks — the teams both average 36 points per game.
"It should be a great game," Lyons said. "Just two good teams going at it."

The boy band phenomenon seems to be on the comeback with groups like The Wanted and Hot Chelle Rae making waves. But One Direction quickly has risen to the top of the heap causing a new British Invasion among mobs of teenage girls waiting to marry any one of the five singers. Cute boys. Pop songs. Big sellers. They have all the makings of hit makers following in the footsteps of 'N Sync. Now we're just wondering who will be the next Lance Bass. Some people have already been asking, anyway, so why can't we?
These boy bands have all had members come out later in their career and for that we are thankful. So Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry or Louis, if any of you taste the rainbow down the road, you'll be in pretty good company.

Mrs. Edwards taught about a thousand kids in her career, but if you listen to her former students, some speaking to us 25 years or more after their own third-grade experiences, one would think they were the only kids in the class, such was Edwards' special skills at making individual students feel special.
Mrs. Edwards is certainly the protagonist in our feature. But the story is as much about the education family she and her husband, Ted, built.
My sister, Jane Burns Lawson, now a teacher herself in Des Moines, wrote a moving "Reflections" piece that accompanies our Edwards profile. Mrs. Edwards, with her wonderfully nurturing style in the classroom, reached Jane at a crucial time in her life, as our parents were going through a divorce. Over at Carroll High School, around the same time, Ted Edwards, a gifted history teacher who commanded attention (and genuine interest) and made the 1920s or 1940 jump to life in young minds in a way that would be the envy of plenty of biopic filmmakers, did the same for me.
Ted's approach to teaching is strikingly different from his wife's but equally effective. He knew instinctively the kids who needed to be challenged and pressed — and in my case, confronted with winning alternative arguments at times, many times, in fact.
Our family owes the Edwardses a great deal for those years of commitment in the classroom. I suspect we are not alone in this. Ask around the Carroll Community Schools family, go two and even three generations deep, and Ted and Sandy are short-listed in an accounting of influential teachers — the ones whose words or deeds surface in our lives all these years later, often to the point where one feels compelled to call them and offer thanks for a nugget of insight with remarkable staying power.
"I feel like I have a lot of friends from the kids I have had in class," Mrs. Edwards told us. "I just feel like they're definitely part of my life. I think they will always be part of yourself."
The Edwardses' education story doesn't stop with Sandy and Ted.
All three of their kids are now in education, with substantive resumes of their own.
Carroll is fortunate to have Tyler Edwards, now the dean of students at Kuemper Catholic High School and the boys basketball coach there. He took the Knights to state last year — following up on an earlier state run he had as head man with the Battle Creek-Ida Grove Falcons. His passion for competition is contagious.
Through their other two children, the Edwardses have exported education quality.
Their daughter Kelly is a K-4 principal in Noblesville, Ind., and son Brad is an English teacher and coach at Fort Dodge High School.
To a person the Edwardses are bright and engaging and certainly have the skills to pursue more prosperous careers than K-12 education.
But they didn't.
Sandy knew she wanted to be a teacher as a little girl growing up in Storm Lake.
She fell in love with a natural teacher and married him.
And together they raised three educators.
What a gift.
For all of us.

WINTER PARK, Fla. - Saint Leo middle blocker Danielle Bletso has been named the Sunshine State Conference's Defensive Player of the Week after her impressive performances against Nova Southeastern and Florida Tech last week, league officials announced Monday.
The Boardman, Ohio native averaged 1.6 blocks and 0.9 digs per set to help lift the Lions to two SSC wins as Saint Leo pulled above .500 in 2011. Bletso had 12 kills, two digs, and four blocks in a four-set win over Nova Southeastern. She then covered a lot of court in a four-set victory at Florida Tech, collecting seven kills, five digs, and nine blocks in the contest. Bletso's defensive efforts helped SLU limit its opponents to a .140 hitting percentage.
This marks the first conference player of the week honor for Saint Leo Volleyball this season.
Bletso and the rest of the Lions will return to action on Wednesday evening when they host Rollins College. The match is scheduled to get underway at 7 p.m. in the Marion Bowman Activities Center on the Saint Leo campus. For the latest news, updates, and information on Lions Volleyball, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

I'm excited to have this opportunity to be part of the Bob's Red Mill Train with Grain Family this road season. I'll let you on to a little secret though, I am not a pro bike racer or even a really great amateur one. What I am is really enthusiastic – about my own racing, the races I put on, and most especially training and getting ready to race. I love the discipline of bike racing.
My season got off to a poor start. We had a terrible winter and my pre-season training was not what it should have been – quite frankly I am a big wimp when it comes to suffering in cold, icy conditions. To be fair, all the women I compete against were in the same boat, but for some reason I started the season further off the back than usual. Throw in loads of work travel and I fell far short in some of my early season goal races.
Compounding less than ideal winter training was the fact that I was coming off an injury that spooked me – a broken Orbit bone in my face and my second concussion in less than 4 months. In those early season races, fear was definitely as much as a factor as being 4 pounds heavier than I wanted to be and the fact that I had fewer miles in my legs than I wanted. After a very disappointing result at the Sea Otter Classic in April I realized that I needed to regroup, re-evaluate my training and diet, my personal goals for the season and most importantly face some down some demons.
Here in Kentucky, where I live, the racing starts in March and the local racing dwindles to virtually none once June comes. So, facing down an early season of disappointment, I needed to find some races to focus on later in the season. Masters Road Nationals, held in Bend, OR, at the end of August, immediately leapt to mind. It gives me time to dial in my fitness, get my diet back on track after too much time off the road, and some time to face my bike racing demons down. I've raced Masters the last two years and have shown significant improvement from year to year. Now I'm going to tell you something that I have only admitted out loud to a couple of close friends. My biggest goal – stretch goal in the parlance of coaches far and wide – is a top 5 finish. This is VERY ambitious especially on a road course that isn't exactly suited to my strengths (but there are very few races that are dead flat with strong winds so I suppose I will have to deal with it…), and more realistically I am aiming for a top ten. There, I've said it. Now how do I get there?
A very wise coach, who is also a very good friend, has been advising me on my training.
He's also been helping me get my head back into a healthy place. A tall order!
First things first. A blunt and honest evaluation of my current fitness. Happily, not as bad as it feels. Check. The base is good, the top end is lacking. We can fix that.
Second – identify strengths and weaknesses. Time to become a more complete rider. Okay. This bit is a little harder. But essentially what it has meant is that instead of training all the things that I am good at (did I mention that when it comes to racing I like flat with a headwind?) I need to start focusing more on my weaknesses. In my case, this blunt evaluation means I'm working on hills more, working on my cadence and developing my capacity to withstand repeated hard efforts instead of just doing my favorite long, steady TT-type rides.
It's also meant working on my downhill skills. I'm not a small girl compared to many of my fellow racers, I should be able to go downhill with the best of the them because gravity is my friend. But my head was a mess. At the dread Sea Otter, I was climbing great, riding the flats powerfully. What I couldn't do was go down the dread Cork Screw. It was embarrassing. The moto official came by me and told me to stop braking. I wanted to tell him "DUH! If I could, I would. But my fingers have assumed minds of their own, I am no longer in control of my digits…" My friends at SRAM NRS took me in the car during the women's pro race so I could watch them go down that hill, my nemesis, and see how they did it. I got out of the car on the hill and watched my friend and fellow BRM Train w/ Grain blogger, Meredith Miller, drill it down that hill lap after lap. How did she go SO FAST???
And Bend, OR? Not flat. I will need to be able to go up AND down.
So descend, descend. Go through the mechanics of going downhill. Weight in the outside pedal. No braking through the turns. Look ahead through the turn and see your exit. Follow fast friends down hills, re-learn how to find the best lines.
The next step in the training plan? Researching the course profile and the little race details that will make a difference. You've got to base your training on what you're going to be asked to do in the race. The road course in Bend is either climbing or descending. Very little flat to be found. Nothing steep. But a lot of 3-4%. A steady power course, always power to the pedals. Okay. Now we know what we're facing. The TT course starts out with the big uphill, then descent down to flat lands. A fair course that won't really favor one type of rider over another. But I've got to be able to go downhill.
Devil's in the details, right? Time to work backwards from the end of August. Every week needs to include training designed to help me on race day. Every week also needs to include rest. A season that started in March with a very late season goal in August means making sure I rest and don't get burned out too soon. It means tailoring specific workouts for this race. While all my friends and teammates might only have 35-minute crits on their calendars for the rest of summer – I've got to keep doing workouts that will get me through a long, hilly road race. And I need to find races between now and then that aren't crits. I will be logging lots of time in the car this summer to find some road races that is for sure!
Last but not least: diet and hydration are key. With all the traveling I've done for work, my diet hasn't been great. Airport Starbucks is not a food group – yet. So now, time to get back to healthy eating. Planned meals. I'm not much of a meat eater – getting enough protein in my diet has always been a problem. In fact if I could, I would pretty much exist on fruit, vegetables and oatmeal cookies. Not exactly the menu of champions. Happily my friends at Bob's Red Mill are stocking my kitchen with lots of goodness to give me the fuel I need to compete. Quinoa to go with veggies of all varieties. Morning oatmeal or granolas (for those super hot days), 7 Grain Pancakes with real Vermont Maple Syrup, and of course Salted Cherry Oatmeal cookies (enhanced with hemp protein so they're healthy I swear!!). Turns out that eating a well balanced diet isn't that hard after all when you've got the right ingredients…

So if you had to guess..
Which coach tonight said he was proud of each and every one of his players for a "heck of a game"?
And which coach talked about the need to be more consistent, the need to attack more, and who was asked to defend everything from his personnel decisions to his team's practice habits?
If you guessed Craig Hartsburg as the ecstatic coach after his 14th place Senators lost their fifth straight and Tom Renney grimly assessing the state of his first-place Rangers, you were right.
Truth is, the Rangers were a few subway stops shy of stellar tonight. And if it wasn't for Henrik Lundqvist, this was yet another game that could have easily gone in the other direction.
But honestly, if you didn't know the score when you walked into the locker room, you'd have thought they were blown out of their building.
"We have to use this as our wake-up call," Brandon Dubinsky said.
Right. Heaven forbid this winning should continue.
(I know what he meant, don't worry).
As for Tom Renney's benching of Aaron Voros and Nikolai Zherdev in the third period — no, you weren't in a psychedelic haze, that really was Colton Orr starting out on the power play — the coach said he was trying to send both a message.
"I thought they could have offered us up more than what they had at that point in time," Renney said.
Continuing a recent run of beefs with officials, Renney took issue with what he thought were two non-called interferences on Daniel Alfredsson's second period goal and Jarkko Ruutu's second shot on Henrik Lundqvist in the shootout.
"What happens if that hits Henrik in the side of the head?" Renney said of Ruutu's shot. "He's looking at our bench instead of straight ahead. We lose our goalie."

A SCHOOL places crisis is looming over Bridgwater with at least two new primary schools needing to be built in the next four years to accommodate the town's rapid growth.
According to figures from Somerset County Council, the demand for primary school places in Bridgwater from 2009 to 2018 has grown by 36%, compared to only 13% for Somerset as a whole.
In 2009 there were 4,614 primary school places needed for Bridgwater. That number has risen to 5,547 in 2014.
By 2018 the demand for primary school places in Bridgwater is projected to grow by an additional 771 places to 6,258.
High birth rates, large housing developments and a changing economic landscape have led to the increased demand for school places in the centre of town.
Fewer families are moving out of Bridgwater and into the villages as they cannot afford to drive their children to school every day.
Somerset County Council and Sedgemoor District Council have been working with developers to try accommodating this rising demand.
A new school, called Willowdown Primary Academy, is set to open in north-east Bridgwater this September with 150 children, with plans to expand to 210 children.
Many other schools across Bridgwater have been expanding to accept more children, including Bridgwater College Academy, North Petherton Primary School and St Mary's School.
However both the district and county councils recognise that there is a need for at least one more school, possibly two, in Bridgwater.
Julia Ridge, strategic manager for school commissioning at Somerset County Council, said: "We are conscious of the need that we do need a new school in Bridgwater. The challenge is finding the land to build the school on.
"We have got ideas but all the suggestions so far have been in the wrong place. There's no point in winding locals up who don't want a school there or getting parents excited who do want a school next door."
Nick Tait, planning policy manager at Sedgemoor District Council, said: "We are looking at a new primary school at the old cattle market in north Bridgwater. The difficulty is the lag between securing financial contributions and physically putting places in the town.
"There have been additional sites considered on the Wilstock side to cater for the demands there. The schools at North Petherton and Stockmoor cannot be expanded anymore. North Petherton Primary School is as large as Somerset County Council wants it to get. It's a matter of securing a site."

Frugal Kid: Valentine's Day Crafts
Check out this fun, educational, and frugal kids craft. This week's craft(s) are all about Valentine's Day! I have included 3 crafts-one for a teacher gift, one for a kids Valentine's treat, and one for a grandparent's card.
Grandparent's Card:
The caption says "Grandparents hold our tiny hands for a short time, but our hearts forever."
Construction paper or card stock
Pen or Computer
1. Paint your child's hand (I have found this to be the easiest way to cover the whole hand).
2. Have them put their hand prints in a heart shape on the paper. We actually used both children's hands for this craft so it could truely be from the "grandkids".
3. Draw a heart around the hands and write or type a meaningful message at the bottom.
4. We also glued our hand print page to a red page to make it look a little "fancier".
Binder clip
Hot glue gun
1. Measure and cut a piece of colored card stock to fit around the black part of the binder clip.
2. Hot glue the card stock onto the clip.
3. Create a cute label with your computer or simply by writing and cutting one.
4. Hot glue the label to one side of the clip.
5. Insert highlighter or other teacher supply item to coincide with your quote.
Kids Goldfish Valentine (adapted from an idea I originally saw on Pinterest)
Simply fill a reclosable bag with goldfish and attach a label with a catchy or "fishy" phrase! Our says "Wishing you an O-fish-al Happy Valentine's Day!"
Pin It
Educational Activities:
- Hand print card: Have your child dictate the words to use on the card. If they are old enough, have them actually write the words and draw the heart. If you use different children to create the handprints you can measure the different sizes and discuss other differences in the prints.
- Teacher gift: Use a tape measure to measure the clip in order to cut the paper. Have your child dictate or create the little sign to attach.
- Goldfish Valentine: Have your child estimate how many goldfish will fit inside the bag and then have them count them to check their estimation. Use leftover fish to create math problems, or glue on paper to create pictures (this works on fine motor skills). You can also have your child trace the goldfish as well.
If you've missed any previous crafts, check out Momondealz's Kids Frugal Fun page!
Thanks Mom on Dealz!

How are you going to say sorry with the one you've hurt. That person is somebody you love but you got too angry and out of control and you send him away. Now he don't want to talk.
"Sorry, it won't happen again. Friends?"
I will apologize at first because I shouldn't lose my temper or yell at him or her!
Hi php_daemon! That simple? We are not friends, we are lovers LOLHi vickiflei! I already do apologize. I think we're okay now. Thanks!
just tell him/her you're sorry, and apologize your bad temper and behaviour. then it's up to him/her if he/she will accept your apology.
you can't force a person to accept your apology, and many times people don't accept or they need a long time to do so
if you've done something wrong to someone, and the person wont accept your apology, you really can't blame him as you're just a victim of your own actions...
Call or meet him/her to say sorry and promise that it won't happen again. I make him/her recall the happy and memorable moments we had spend together.
Hi Crazybanana and James! Thanks for your response. I admit it's my fault and I am forgiven Thank you. Does this happen to you guys?
Just say sorry. That will make everything better.
If you already did your part its up to them how they accept it. you can't force a person to accept your apology, and many times people don't accept or they need a long time to do so.
Apologize sincerely, say sorry and then hug the person (if you apply the culture).
Thank you guys for all your responses. I'm okay now. I mean we're okay. It's nice to use this forum to lighten my burden and get great responses from you.
sorry, i am extremely sorry for this
Just say sorry like you really mean it...It's just enough:)
good to hear both of u are ok now...anyway, it's good to say "I'm sorry" and say it from the bottom of our heart...
it's really hard to say im sorry but if your sorry not true then stop saying sorry.
Thanks Salma! Saying sorry really works. Glad you read the thread before you reply. Some of them are not reading and just replying.

'Conan' Introduces the Real Adele Dazeem to The World
John Travolta's (Jorm Tracoola's?) Oscar night butchering of Idina Menzel's name into "Adele Dazeem" as he introduced the singer's performance of Best Song winner "Let It Go" has already become its own Internet meme and a cherished memory of everyone who loves to laugh at award shows. That's why it's such good news that Conan O'Brien managed to find the real Adele Dazeem so that she could get the recognition she deserves on 'Conan' Monday night.

Nautical Themed Table Setting
Nothing says nautical like blue and white stripes. Add a punch of lime green and this tablescape really pops!
Nothing says nautical like blue and white stripes. Add a punch of lime green and this tablescape really pops!
Tied in with such phrases as, "Ahoy, it's a Boy!" or "Tying the Knot" the nautical theme has become a popular one for baby showers and wedding showers alike.
So, with just a few stripes, and some beach-style accents, you can easily create the perfect nautical party for any occasion.
It's easy to decorate with a nautical theme in mind. The navy and white look is cool and classic, and while the colors can stand alone, they will flatter almost any accent color, if you so choose.
A regular candle holder or lantern turns instantly nautical with some blue and white striped ribbon and a sea-inspired Christmas ornament tied onto it.
A blue and white striped bowl was the perfect vessel for holding rope and seashell-covered balls. You can purchase the balls at gift shops and craft stores, or make some yourself. It just takes a styrofoam ball, some rope or shells, and lots of glue. Toss in a couple of white starfish and you're ready to set sail!
Lime green is such a great accent color with the classic navy and white. It brings a little punch of excitement to the color pallette. This lime green polka dot tray landed right in the middle of the table and served perfectly to hold some more stripes and sea-inspired objects.
When decorating for a celebration, look around your home for accents that will fit the theme of your party. Some rope and an old key make this table just a bit more interesting.
Striped star dishes from the 4th of July worked into this nautical-themed party perfectly and were just the right size for a piece of blueberry cheesecake. Embellished with a quick little do-it-yourself nautical flag, this little dessert created some waves!
Visit your craft store for inexpensive embellishments that help create the nautical theme for your table. Here, a little wooden anchor sits atop the plates and makes an instant statement for your guests: "Anchors away for a fun celebration!" Create some interest and have fun with prints and patterns by folding two paper napkins together.
If your party is poolside, think about placing some nautical beach towels on the backs of the chairs. It's an easy way to give your gathering another splash of color.

Since material beings are each a perception, they cannot see Allah; but Allah sees the matter that He created in all its forms. That is, we cannot grasp Allah's being with our eyes, but Allah has thoroughly encompassed us from the inside, from the outside, in looks and in thoughts. We cannot utter any word unless it is with His knowledge, nor can we even take a breath.
While we watch these sensory perceptions in the course of our lives, the closest being to us is not any one of these sensations, but Allah Himself. The secret of the following verse in the Qur'an is concealed in this reality:
"It is We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein." (Surah Qaf, 16)
When a human being thinks that his body is made up only of "matter," he cannot comprehend this important fact. If he takes his brain to be "himself," then the place that he accepts to be the outside is 20-30 cm away from him. However, when he understands that there is nothing such as matter, and that everything is imagination, notions such as outside, inside, far or near lose their meaning. Allah has encompassed him and He is "infinitely close" to him.

Allah is the Protector of those who believe. He brings them out of the darkness and into the light. But those who do not believe have false deities as protectors. They take them from the light into the darkness. Those are the Companions of the Fire remaining in it timelessly, forever. ( Surat al-Baqara, 257)
Allah knows best who your enemies are. Allah suffices as a Protector; Allah suffices as a Helper. ( Surat an-Nisa', 45)
And remember when two of your clans were on the point of losing heart and Allah was their Protector. Let the believers put their trust in Allah. (Surah Al 'Imran, 122)
It is He Who sends down abundant rain, after they have lost all hope, and unfolds His mercy. He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy. ( Surat ash-Shura, 28)
Mahdi According to Holy Scriptures
AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. ADNAN OKTAR BY LE MONDE (May, 2008)
Le Monde, which is one of the most read daily news papers in France, has made an interview with Mr.Adnan Oktar in Turkey. The interviewer draws attention to the fact that Mr.Adnan Oktar was very much spoken of in France in respect of his studies regarding the collapse of the evolution theory.
In the interview Mr.Adnan Oktar states that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th volumes of his book named Atlas of Creation are being translated into French. He has declared that the Atlas of Creation had very positive effects all over the Europe and that especially after the publication of this book, there has been great differences in between the statements of Mr.Nicolas Sarkozy, the president of France, given before and now. He states that Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy's making statements about faith in Allah and giving enthusiastic statements about the love of Allah despite of the severe pressure of the Masonic lodges and the Freemasons, was only possible with the effect of this book.
Mr.Adnan Oktar, stating that there was a huge demand for the Atlas of Creation from the universities and academy lecturers of especially European universities, gives examples of the positive effects the book in England, along with France. He mentions that Mr.Tony Blain, the former President of England, who was before a socialist and Marxist, after the book had reached England, started to give very beautiful and sincere statements about faith in Allah.
Mr.Adnan Oktar states the fact that no one has anything left to be said in respect of Evolution after it has been proved by the fossils which are put forward that no evolution had occurred. He implies that the collapse of Darwinism is very clearly seen: "We asked the French people to bring any proofs they might have had to support the evolution theory so that we could display them in front of the Eifel tower, yet they could not come up with any." Mr.Oktar continues his words: " Darwin states that his theory could only be true if the transitional fossils are found, and we proved that there are no transitional fossils and thus confirmed what Darwin said: This means there is no evolution."
In the other sections of the interview Mr.Adnan Oktar gives examples of his new books and their contents. In this part Mr.Adnan Oktar states that Jesus will definitely return and he adds that the return of Jesus will be one of the greatest events which would shock the whole world.

Thread: Display Driver Crashes
Display Driver Crashes
I'm having some problems with my video drivers or card which happened out of nowhere.
I've been gaming away for months with no problem at all but since yesterday I've been getting frequent Display driver crashes saying " Display Driver has crashed and is recovered." I tried previous versions of drivers, uninstalling, cleaning and installing them again but nothing seemed to fix the problem.
When running a gpu temp monitoring temp it seems the card gets to 85C within two minutes on idle and the fan goes to max rpm until the drivers crash for some strange reason, the fan is dust free and running without problems.
I'm running a Nvidia GTX 570 on Windows 7.
Hmm. This would indicate either that your card is overvolted or heavily overclocked by ... something. Somewhere. SInce you have no idea what causes it, perhaps switching your bios settings to default might be a fix. If you are using something like MSI afterburner, be absolutely sure that you did not accidently press a wrong button somewhere.
From memory, I rmeember that overclocks are being set in the registery - perhaps installing MSI afterburner and downclocking your card might help.
Alternatively, the part of your graphic's card that monitors temperature might be broken and be giving false numbers, causing your display driver to panic and shut itself down to prevent burnouts. I do not know if anything can be down about this, except RMA.

I have Virtu MVP running but that's even mentioned on my motherboard itself and it gave no trouble the past two weeks I've been running that.
I'll try resetting a couple of things and see if that helps.
Edit; Installed windows and seems to have fixed the problem, Nvidia really has some buggy installation and removing driver process.

Yes, driver de-installation has always been a pain. next time, you could try this program and see if it works out for you.

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Merrimack football senior wide receiver Isaiah Voegeli (Hyannis, Mass.) became the fourth Warrior in school history to sign with an NFL franchise on Monday afternoon following the NFL draft as he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. Voegeli signed his undrafted free agent contract two days after the conclusion of the NFL Draft.
"I am still speechless," stated Voegeli. "All I can say is to God be the glory. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I can't thank head coach Dan Curran enough for his help and guidance and preparation to get me to this point. This is a dream come true that I've dreamt about since I was 7, to just have a shot and I've been blessed this opportunity."
Voegeli was in contact with multiple NFL franchises following the NFL drafts conclusion on Saturday afternoon but he settled on signing with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Voegeli became the fourth Merrimack College player to sign a NFL deal on Monday as the others are Shawn Loiseau (Houston), Tony Johnson (Baltimore) and James Suozzo (NY Giants). Offensive lineman Mackenzy Bernadeau from Bentley University remains the only Northeast-10 player ever drafted in the NFL being selected in the seventh round, pick number 250, by the Carolina Panthers.
The Hyannis, Massachusetts native will attend the Eagles rookie minicamp starting on May 10 and ending on May 12.
Voegeli leaves Merrimack as the most decorated offensive player in program history. He was a consensus All American last fall breaking multiple Northeast-10 Conference records along with nearly every Merrimack College receiving record.
"We are so proud of Isaiah and all of his accomplishments and we couldn't be more excited for him as he moves on to the next phase of his career," stated first year head coach Dan Curran. "Very few people have the opportunity to play football at the highest level and I can't think of an individual who has earned it more than Isaiah. Much like Shawn Loiseau did for the defensive side of the ball, Isaiah has set the standard for all future offensive players at Merrimack with his unbelievable production, competitiveness, and work ethic."
Voegeli recorded the best season of his four year Merrimack career as a senior as he was named All-American and Northeast-10 Conference Most Valuable Player after leading the nation in receptions (10.8) and yards (150.0) per game. Voegeli racked up a NE-10 record 108 catches for 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns in 10 games for the Warriors. The 1,500 receiving yards was second most in conference history while his 14 receiving touchdowns were good for most in program history. Voegeli broke the 100 yard plateau in seven of 10 games as a senior and set the NE-10 record for receiving yards in a game with 269 yards on 10 catches against Saint Anselm. Voegeli also racked up a career-best 17 catches for 264 yards against Pace.
For his career, Voegeli has established himself as the best wide receiver to dawn the Warrior jersey. He leaves Merrimack as the school's all-time leader in multiple receiving categories including catches (211) and yards (3,554) and ranks second all-time with 34 touchdown receptions.
Voegeli took part in the Warriors second-ever Pro Day and impressed in early April as he set personal bests in many categories including 40 yard dash time.
Current Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly recruited and coached current Merrimack football head coach Dan Curran at the University of New Hampshire for four seasons. Curran concluded his impressive college career in 2000 before making the jump to the NFL ranks with the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints.

The man was rushed to a local hospital, but died later of his wounds.
Detectives found the victim in the street near Tile Avenue. Florida Street, a one-way narrow street, is a densely populated neighborhood sandwiched between Third and Fourth streets and between Orange and Walnut avenues.

TWO brothers who attacked a transsexual in the street have been spared a prison sentence.
Luke and Nathan Statton, of Bridgwater, assaulted the victim after "a laugh" turned sour.
Both admitted assault and received suspended sentences at Taunton Crown Court today (January 27).
Luke, 24, of Penzoy Avenue, was given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, while Nathan, 23, of Monmouth Street, was sentenced to five months in prison, also suspended for two years.
Sentencing, Judge Eric Salomonsen said: "I have seen the CCTV of this unprovoked attack. I have no doubt homophobic remarks were used.
"Luke Statton, you pushed home this assault by kicking and standing on her.
"If either of you put a foot out of line for the next two years you know what is going to happen."
The incident happened at around 6.30pm on March 27 last year when the brothers, who used to live in the flat above, were walking past the victim's home and Luke kicked over a sign outside the house.
Prosecuting, Rebecca Bradberry said the pair knew the female victim when she was a man before her operation and in a police interview Luke said they were "having a laugh".
However, it was said the victim retaliated and stormed out of the house, before being pushed by Luke.
The court heard the victim tried to swing back but missed, at which point Nathan punched her in the face.
It was then that Luke continued to kick and stamp on the victim while she lay helplessly on the ground.
Defending Luke, Emma Martin said any suggestion of hostility towards sexuality was not true and added: "This was an incident of mischief.
"He is upset at his actions and does not afford any ill-will to the victim."
Defending Nathan, Simon Cooper said: "He struck in defence of his brother. Nathan bitterly regrets his involvement and is a hard working young man."
Luke was also ordered to pay £250 compensation, £200 in costs and £100 victim surcharge while Nathan has to pay £250 compensation, £100 victim surcharge and £600 in costs as he only pleaded guilty on the day of trial.

FIRST AIDa — On Setby Fay in View All Posts, November 20th, 2008
If you've ever tried to talk to camera while wielding a large chef's knife, you'd know that it's easy to mistake your finger for a piece of produce. You might also know that thumb wounds seem to bleed disproportionately to the severity of the cut. At least we found that out on set at Ask Aida, Season 2.
It was Shoot Day One and all was going as smoothly as ever, until poor Aida missed the preserved lemon and got her thumb instead. Ever the trooper, she wanted to patch and get back into action, but her thumb was not cooperating. I immediately thought of liquid bandage, but it turns out that stuff doesn't work well on cuts that are still bleeding. The first aid kit had clotting spray, but that failed as well.
Producer Matt applied pressure, but all that did was make it hurt even worse. It wasn't until a crew member suggested a wet tea bag that we found our solution. Who knew? Apparently the tannic acid in tea is a natural coagulant. It's a common remedy after getting wisdom teeth pulled or for problematic cuts on pets. For all that we know about food, our 'food as first aid' knowledge is pretty light! Learn something new every day — particularly on set.

How Much Do You Have to Make to Be Successful?*
Not while interest rates are zero to 1 percent.
Or, You're less knowledgeable than whoever sits on the opposite side of all investments. The only thing that can save you is your knowledge of that fact.
Two guys are watching a roulette wheel. Red comes up four times in a row. The first guy concludes, "Red is hot. I'm putting it all on red." The second guy says, "Black is due. I'm putting it all on black." The fair end to this story would be the wheel landing on 0 or 00, so they both lose.
In real life, the ending is equally grim: Both guys shuffle their chips around, making opposite bets until the casino's 5.26 percent advantage leaves them both poorer. In real life, that house edge is a commission or a transaction cost or a fee that eats away your principal (and your "winnings") in identical fashion. If something is a good idea, it is not because of what happened in the past. It is because you are making an informed bet on what is going to happen.
Apple provides a perfect example. Is it now a great investment because it has fallen so much? Or is it smart to sell because the market hates it? The smartest analysis is what you think Apple is worth based on its price right now. All investing is price versus value. Yesterday's price and value count for zero.

Calls have been made for Wiltshire Council to take action to ensure businesses in Chippenham High Street will not be affected by flooding.
Fears have raised about the adequacy of the drainage at the lower end of the High Street close to the bridge over the River Avon as surface water flows down.
Wiltshire councillor Bill Douglas said shopkeepers had expressed concern to him including WH Smith where water gathered at the top of the entry step into the shop.
Wilkinsons manager Kevin King said: "I know shops have been flooded in the past and we have had an extremely wet summer. Being so close to the river the council should look at the drainage or check what flood measures are in place."
Chris Orwin, owner of Penny Lane sweet shop next to WH Smith, said: "When we have torrential rain it pours down and the drain near my shop can't cope. A few months back it was like a little lake there. I was getting a bit anxious."
Coun Douglas raised the issue at a full meeting of Wiltshire Council.
He suggested that a pumping station at the bottom of the town could monitor flooding and pump excess water over the walls into the river.

Joseph Charles isn't your average five-year-old. More than 120 days of Charles' young life have been spent in a hospital after being diagnosed three years ago with Neuroblastoma.
Amid the darker days of chemo, surgeries, and radiation, the Make-A-Wish foundation jumped into action to give Charles a day he would never forget.
For Charles, his Make-A-Wish request wasn't to visit Disney World or a Justin Bieber concept. Instead, Charles opted for a different destination – a farm, according to KSDK News.
"This is the most amazing wish I've come across," added Stephanie Hampton-Boeglin, Director of Mission Delivery for Make-A-Wish Missouri.
Charles was sent to Waterloo, Ill., for his day as a farmer. At a local farm, Charles was involved in everything from collecting eggs to planting fields. During a stage coach ride around the city, hundreds of students from the area lined the streets to welcome the special quest.

EtherPad functionality in an OSS product
TracPadPlugin aspires to implement EtherPad functionality in an OSS product and perhaps not only for Trac. But Trac integration is top of the list. It would be kick ass to be able to do EtherPad-like real time collaborative editing on Trac Wiki and perhaps even other text editing related components, like tickets.
This is how it started:
(19:42:16) macmaN6789: has anyone done any brainstorming on etherpadish function for trac wiki editing? (19:42:32) jhammel: macmaN6789: no, but i mad want to (19:42:39) jhammel: macmaN6789: not just for trac wiki, but in general (19:42:51) jhammel: macmaN6789: etherpad must be usurped and replaced with OSS! (19:42:58) macmaN6789: i agrees (19:43:17) macmaN6789: etherpad is very nicely done though, kudos to the makers (19:43:26) jhammel: macmaN6789: it is, it is (19:43:33) macmaN6789: but jhammel, care to open a new TH plugin page or will i? (19:43:40) macmaN6789: TracPadPlugin (19:43:43) jhammel: macmaN6789: if they only released it as software it would make my life much easier (19:43:46) jhammel: macmaN6789: goforit (19:44:09) macmaN6789: jhammel: they have etherpad as "run it on your own server as .jar" available (19:44:19) macmaN6789: 99usd/user tho (19:44:33) jhammel: macmaN6789: yeah, that doesn't really count as OSS (19:44:42) macmaN6789: ok, youre talking specifically about OSS (19:45:08) jhammel: macmaN6789: well, something very consumable so i can easily throw it in pretty much all the web apps i write/work on
This page and tickets linked against this plugin would initially be to coordinate the work: define the vision, gather the requirements and ideas how to implement this.
EtherPad Open Sourced
EtherPad has been acquired by Google and will be open sourced. This will probably have a significant effect on this plugin.

"My wedding is navy blue and gold, so these will match perfectly. I believe I changed the Table font to navy blue. The design is exactly what I was looking for, and is simple enough to not make tables look too busy. Thank you!"
"I removed the table #____. These are the perfect size & thickness for seating cards. The colors match a pink themed wedding perfectly. I also ordered the matching invitations."
"These place cards turned out just as we expected. We love the color, paper quality and overall design. We can't wait to use them for our upcoming wedding! Thanks Wedding Paper Divas!!!!"
"These turned out perfect! It's very hard ordering items off the internet and hoping they are as perfect in person as they are on the computer screen. These didn't let me down! Beautifully done!"
"Although the purple and grey is a great color combo, our wedding colors and grey and navy. It was easy to customize to our colors and they turned out great. As always the product arrived on time and looked even better in person. I can't wait to have them on my tables!"

HOUSTON - In the world of professional sports, the big pay days keep climbing.
In the National Football League, the average players' salary is well over $1 million. In Major League Baseball, the average is $3.5 million with a minimum salary of $480,000.
On the Pro Rodeo circuit , it's anything but glamorous, even for a veteran cowboy like Bareback World Champion Clint Cannon.
"We are paid to get tortured, and we wouldn't do anything else," said Cannon. "It is an extreme sport and most brutal sport out there."
For a few weeks in March, the world's best cowboys and cowgirls will call Houston home. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo features the largest rodeo in the world, not to mention some pretty hefty paychecks to be had.
"When we get to rodeos like this, when it pays well, it's easier to get up and down the road," Steer Wrestler Ethen Thouvenell said. "We only get a paycheck if we win, so it's tough out there."
Out on the circuit for most of the guys, it's a week to week grind. Don't think for a minute their mode of transportation is anything spectacular.
"I drive a minivan," Cannon said, laughing it off.
For even the best of competitors, reaching a $1 million or $2 million is a career milestone. They're out to make a living and do what they love to do. It's a passion, even during the bad days.
"When I leave the house, dad says you could be home working, so enjoy it. So that's what I'm trying to do, enjoy it, "said Steer Wrestler Zack Cobb, who makes his home in Pampa, Texas.

(Beat me to it, I guess great mines think alike)
Yeah, WTH? To hear king hussein tell it, al qaida is no more. Just like the taliban is no more. Ooooppppppsssss! Just like there's no green on blue attacks and there are only white on black crimes never any b on w crimes. Hmmmmm!
Our foray in Iraq put the Shia in the driver's seat, but now the Sunnis through A1Q are surging back. The Shia/Sunni war is heating up again.
Utterly predictable.
Gee, what a surprise.
How unexpected!/s
Let us all learn a lesson from this:
Stay out of these HELLHOLES and let them kill one another in their idiotic religious wars of intolerance. Yes, it's tragic that there are innocents caught up in this. Horrible.
But they don't want democracy and freedom over there, and I don't want any more of our precious sons and daughters' lives and our tax dollars wasted on this medieval savagery.
Can't be: "World Peace 1.20.09."
When Western leaders finally realize that Islamic cultures do not share the values of the Enlightenment, fools errands such as nation building will stop. Until then policies and relations will continue to fail.
But but but al-Qaeda was never in Iraq......
We fought them, and at the same time we were paying them to let us route supplies through their territory to our troops. Our people is truly insane!
The little islamist is very pleased.
If the West was expecting to collect dividends from our huge investment in Islamic democracy, we will be very disappointed.
I knew that Benghazi was a cover up for the evil of obama... I knew that Libya was a mistake and just wrong and that syria was a debacle. Most of us did which means we all learned that the republican party and dim party leadership are conniving entities representing themselves and those that finance them... and that they do not represent "we the people".
Not lying - they said the war on terror was over, not that terror no longer existed...
Not at all surprised, though it does leave a bitter taste in the mouth. So many of our men and women in uniform paid the price in Iraq with their blood, sweat, and tears...
Afghanistan will be even worse, I fear.

text: James Dennin, Kapitall: A report from Bloomberg suggests a huge upswing in commodities stocks ahead. So we decided to dig a bit deeper It's been a bad couple of years for commodities stocks. Actually a bad 15 years to look more long-term, as that's how long Bloomberg's commodities index has lagged behind the rest of the S&P 500. This comes in part thanks to the slow down of China's development, which is no longer moving at a breakneck pace. Read more on Raw Materials from Kapitall: Drill Baby Drill: 8 Cash Rich Energy Stocks However, as economies across Europe and the Americas continue to improve, analysts expect that demand for raw materials will increase – potentially leading to higher profits. Analysts are projecting profits for commodities companies could as much as double over the course of 2014. But that's not the only reason investors are paying attention. After 15 years of underperformance, analysts are saying that many of these stocks are extremely undervalued as well. The largest copper manufacturer in the country, Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) has seen it's price-to-equity ratio decline 24% since 2010. With that in mind we decided to screen for commodities stocks that are undervalued relative to their Graham Number . Named for pioneer investor Benjamin Graham, the Graham Number is calculated by taking the square root of a company's Earnings per Share (EPS) and Book Value per Share (BVPS) multiplied by 22.5. A stock whose listed price is below its Graham Number might be said to be undervalued. Earnings per share is one of the most important variables that affects share price. It is determined by looking at net income divided by the number of shares a company sells, and is one of the most basic indicators of a company's profitability. A company's BVPS is a per share estimate of the company's equity. Though the Graham Number is a conservative estimate, and works better for smaller companies than it does for larger ones, it is a good way to isolate companies with a potential large upside. To further narrow our results, and make Benjamin Graham proud, we only included companies with low price to equity ratios (P/E) and low l ong-term debt-to-equity ratios (LTDebt/Equity). We were left with 4 companies on our list. Click on the interactive chart below to see data over time. Do you see investment opportunities among raw materials?

Choose your size from the drop down list above.
Most of the handle sets are sold to garage gym guys who have a mix of standard size plates that they want to turn into Pro-Style Dumbbells. (See the "Construction" photo above.)

The free £100 prize draw is being offered as an incentive for any adult taking in a worn or broken small electrical item to any of the county's 16 recycling centres as they deposit other waste during Recycle Week.
Small electrical includes anything portable or handheld with a plug or batteries or both.
That could range from a kettle or toaster, radio or CD player, hairdryer or curling tongs to an electric toothbrush, power drill, shaver, iron, electric screwdriver and much more.
The £100 free prize draw has been organised by waste firm Viridor, which runs Somerset's recycling centres, and Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP).
Five of Somerset's busiest recycling centres - Bridgwater, Frome, Minehead, Taunton, and Yeovil - have extended opening hours and are now open 8am-4pm seven days a week.
