"All objections have been discussed, and the girls will be very carefully chaperoned," he said.
Miss World's British organisers were in Abuja at the weekend to find a venue, Mr Upton said.
In the past, beauty pageants have set their own prescriptions against extra-marital sex: in 1999 Miss Great Britain, Nicki Lane, was forced to abdicate her title and stay away from the Miss Universe pageant when it emerged she was a single mother.
Despite recent efforts to modernise the 51-year-old contest, Mr Upton said the same rules would apply. "We're pretty strict on morals," he said.
Nigeria applied to host this year's Miss World pageant after a Nigerian, Agbani Darego, became the first black African to win the title last year. Ms Darego's victory caused widespread rejoicing in the country's mainly Christian south, with some commentators saying it would offer hope to a country where women are often forced into prostitution, and where human trafficking is rife.
More mean-spirited commentators attributed Ms Darego's victory to the proliferation of mobile phone networks in Nigeria in the first year that Miss World was decided by phone votes.
In 1996 India was forced to move the swimwear contest from Bangalore to the Seychelles after violent protests from Hindu extremists. One protester set himself on fire.

Based on three Elizabeth Gaskell novels, The Cranford Chronicles follows the small absurdities and major tragedies in the lives of the people of Cranford, a small Cheshire market town, during one extraordinary year.
In this witty and poignant story the railway is pushing its way relentlessly towards the town from Manchester, bringing fears of migrant workers and the breakdown of law and order. The arrival of handsome young Doctor Harrisons causes yet further agitation not just because of his revolutionary methods but also because of his effect on the hearts of the ladies.
Meanwhile Miss Matty Jenkyns nurses her own broken heart after she was forced to give up the man she loved when she was a young girl.
Cranford is the best known and most charming of Elizabeth Gaskell's novels. It is a comic portrait of an early Victorian country village and its genteel inhabitants, mostly women, whose social attitudes remain firmly unchanging against the modernising world, and whose domestic details dominate conversation. Gaskell describes the uneventful lives of Cranford's inhabitants in this witty and poignant classic.
Treasured household names, including Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, Imelda Staunton and Julia McKenzie, brought Cranford to life in one of the best-loved classic dramas of all time. This celebratory omnibus edition includes the classic novel of the same name, a comic portrait of the lives of Cranford's genteel female inhabitants.
About the Author
Elizabeth Stevenson was born in London in 1810. In 1832 she married the minister William Gaskell and moved to Manchester. The death of her only son inspired her to write her first novel, Mary Barton, which was published anonymously in 1848. Dickens invited her to contribute to his magazine Household Words where her Cranford stories appeared from 1851 to 1853. She also wrote the novels Ruth, North and South and Sylvia's Lovers, and the famous biography, The Life of Charlotte Bronte. Elizabeth Gaskell died in 1865, leaving her final work Wives and Daughters incomplete.

The executive director of the Motor Trades Association of Australia has resigned after 22 years but remains under pressure to disclose the extent of his other directorships after a rival industry body earlier raised governance concerns.
The tangle of positions and interests has contributed to the formation of the Australian Automotive Industry Association (AIA) whose representatives have written to the MTAA to highlight a range of governance concerns.
Mr Delaney's dual roles with the association and the 300,000-member industry fund have been criticised, although Mr Delaney recently said the roles had been written into his "duty statement" and that he did not see a "contested constituency".
The $5.5 billion MTAA super fund ranks 13 out of 50 balanced funds in SuperRatings' 10-year survey, despite shedding 25 per cent in its default option in 2009.
Mr Delaney will resign from all directorships and appointments associated with his role as executive director of the MTAA – although an AIA spokesman last night called for more information on who would take over these roles.
In Mr Delaney's new role as chief executive of the MTAA Super Fund Secretariat Co, he will have oversight of an entity that will employ MTAA staff who transfer to the super fund as a result of the trustee's decision to insource its secretariat arrangements.
MTAA president Kerry Ambrose-Pearce thanked Mr Delaney for his contribution to reforms that had benefited retail motor traders – noting he would continue to serve fund members in his new position.
MTAA executive Sue Scanlan will take the position of acting executive director of the body following Mr Delaney's resignation.
The MTAA super fund has started to restructure its operations to bring management services in-house rather than using staff from within the association.

Join us in the 'celebration' of Scotland's traditional national dish! Today on the 10th October it is the World Porridge Day! We spoke to Ross in the kitchen about his relationship to the simple and nutritious cereal and the will look at the use of oats in the Scottish diet!
The History of Porridge Oats
The humble oat has been a staple of the Scottish diet since medieval times. It is used to make porridge, of course, as well as such other traditional favourites as oatcakes, bannocks, skirlie, haggis, mealy pudding and for frying fish. Every croft once had its own girnel, an oatmeal barrel, as well as a porridge drawer.
A batch of porridge would be made at the beginning of the week and kept cold in the drawer so that members of the family could slice off chunks as they were needed, perhaps for a snack while working out on the fields.
Oats were always popular in Scotland as they are a hardy cereal, able to grow in harsh climates and poor soil. Scotch oats, also referred to as 'pinhead', are chopped rather than rolled into smaller pieces and therefore tend to be chewier and take longer to cook. The finer the oatmeal, the quicker it takes to prepare and the smoother the consistency.
The Porridge
In its simplest form, oats were eaten as brose with hot water, but porridge is more popular, though how it is made differs from household to household. The traditional Scots way is to soak the oats overnight, then boil them in the morning, stirring the mixture as it thickens with a wooden spirtle to avoid lumps!
Porridge purists may reject adding any modern-day luxuries such as 'heaven forbid, sugar, milk, syrup or cream ' instead sticking to the time-honoured tradition of oats, water and salt (which was also Ross' first introduction to the cereal - see below). Yet if you don't have the time or patience to stand lovingly over the hot stove while the porridge comes to the boil, then making it in the microwave offers an easier and much quicker alternative today. You simply just have to find your favourite amongst the many ways of cooking and types of combinations, whether they are sweet or savoury! Even just as a cereal added to your yoghurt or smoothie makes your meal all that much more filling!
Health Benefits?
A bowl of hot porridge served on frosty mornings with a little milk is by all accounts extremely good for you. Oats contain more fibre than many other cereal grains and they are a good source of essential fatty acids and vitamins. Furthermore, it staves off hunger for longer as the carbohydrates in oats are absorbed by the body slowly. According to the NHS, findings support existing evidence that whole grains in the diet are important for cardiovascular health. They are recommended as part of a healthy, balanced diet and, along with recommended levels of physical activity, may help to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Ross' first introduction to porridge & his use of the hardy cereal
"My earliest memory of porridge is of my granddads serving us it cooked in water with a healthy pinch of salt! It wasn't pleasant, but the trick was to eat it as quickly as possible to avoid it setting in the bowl, which made it very child unfriendly!
I have grown to really appreciate oats and their many uses, my preferred method for porridge is to soak the oats in milk overnight (about 3 x milk to oats), then cook the porridge with this milk in the morning. Cook it slowly over low heat, stirring occasionally - this will yield a creamy finish to your breakfast.
It lends itself to savoury dishes as well! Try braising some oxtail and adding some of the stock after the meats cooked to some toasted oats - you won't need much stock. Stir in some diced butter from the fridge, some chopped chives and cooked chopped smoked bacon. Serve it underneath the oxtail for a change to mashed potato. You'll be surprised how good it is!"
Do you have any recipes for porridge you want to share? Why not put your favourite combination in a comment below? Or even better, if you are coming to stay with us in November, try out our own Eriska porridge! There is definitely something about spending a cold autumn morning in the luxurious country house style hotel with a bowl of porridge surrounded by the crisp colourful autumn forest, relaxing views over the gardens or by the roaring log fire...

Quote:Looks like you are getting the results which could be statistically expected on an MA forum. It might be more interesting, and accurate to ask the same question of the 'general public' rather than on a MA forum as there will be a tendency towards less bias.You know my thoughts anyway MC.
Quote:If there has been an attack so that defence is reasonably necessary, it will be recognised that a person defending himself cannot weigh to a nicety the exact measure of his defensive action. If the jury thought that in a moment of unexpected anguish a person attacked had only done what he honestly and instinctively thought necessary, that would be the most potent evidence that only reasonable defensive action had been taken.

Sixteen wickets fell at Trent Bridge on the first day of Nottinghamshire's LV= County Championship match against Warwickshire.
Put in, the home side made 155 before being bowled out during the afternoon session but they then reduced the newly-crowned champions to 139-6 by stumps.
At one stage Warwickshire were going long nicely, with 85-3 on the board. That all changed as Andy Carter dragged his side back into things with a spell of 3-0 in just 14 deliveries.
"I'm pleased with that," said the 24-year old. "I'm trying to find a bit of rhythm and fighting against not a lot of form over the last week or so and was just trying to put it in the right spot. Today I got my rewards."
The first of Carter's wickets was Darren Maddy. "Bonus - it was an absolute bonus to get him," he said. "It was never missing but a real bonus that he left the ball alone."
Richard Johnson fell next, followed by Chris Woakes. "Johnson's was a fullish ball and he dragged it on – some days they go for you and some days they don't. I was happy to get Woakesy out quickly because he's a dangerous player and he's scored some good runs this year.
"We didn't put enough runs on the board but Ben Phillips and Fletch started well for us with the ball and now it's important we get them out quickly in the morning."
Notts made three changes from the side that ended last week's match at The Oval. Sam Kelsall, Paul Franks and Andy Carter came into the side, replacing Adam Voges, Sam Wood and Harry Gurney.
The tone for the day was set as early as the third ball of the morning session with Kelsall (0) losing his middle stump after inside-edging a delivery from Chris Woakes.
Neil Edwards (3) was rapped on the back pad by Keith Barker, becoming the first of three lbws, the second of which was Riki Wessels (13) who got neither forward nor back to Woakes.
Barker had predominantly bowled left-arm over but went round the wicket to Steven Mullaney (14) and had him spectacularly taken by a diving Varun Chopra at slip to leave Notts 41-4 after an hour of play.
The situation worsened as the change bowlers got into the act. Chris Wright extracted Chris Read's (18) middle peg and then made way for Rikki Clarke, who thudded one into the pads of James Taylor (17) with the first ball after being switched to the Radcliffe Road End.
With the final ball of the 30th over Graeme White (6) was taken by Clarke at slip off Jeetan Patel to leave the score on 92-7 at lunch.
Paul Franks and Ben Phillips added 38 in half an hour after the restart before Warwickshire struck again through Wright, who then proceeded to mop up the innings with two further successes.
The former Essex bowler had Phillips (13) caught behind by Richard Johnson – just after the batsman had been bowled by a no-ball from Clarke. Wright then took out Franks (44) middle stump with another pacy, well-directed delivery.
Luke Fletcher and Andy Carter had some fun for the last wicket before a bouncer from Wright was fended off into the hands of short leg Ian Westwood by Carter (4).
Notts needed to make early inroads and had Ben Phillips to thanks for seeing off both openers before tea. Ian Westwood (1) put in half a stride towards the ball but was still adjudged lbw.
That was in the fifth over of the innings, with Phillips' first three overs all being maidens. His sixth over began with another prize scalp, as the much-touted Varun Chopra (16) nicked one onto his off bail.
Luke Fletcher's first ball after tea saw Jim Troughton (10) play loosely away from his body to give Read a routine catch.
Darren Maddy (41) and Richard Johnson (22) then added 40 for the fourth wicket, before both fell during Carter's second spell.
Maddy lost his off stump not playing a shot, with Johnson edging back onto his stumps. Chris Woakes (0) became the third wicket to fall in quick succession to the pace bowler, as he also snicked one for Read to take easily.
An unbroken stand of 49 between Ian Blackwell and Rikki Clarke took the Bears to within 16 by the end of a very eventful day.

Alternatives to 24-105mm on the 5D
Hello there,
I have owned and thoroughly testing the following lenses:
Tammy 28-75
Canon 28-105mm II
Canon 28-135mm IS
Canon 24-105mm
First of all, on the 5D, all of these lenses are plenty sharp in the middle to center of the lens. I really don't know about the corners wide open as I don't care about corner sharpness wide open.
I will say that my Tammy 28-75mm beat the Canon 24-105mm at 28mm at f/8 and f/11 for landscape shots. They were equally sharp, but the Tammy had NO CA whatsoever and the Canon had just a touch of it. The Canon 28-135mm and 28-105mm both have a bit more CA then the other 2, but nothing crazy, IMO.
For portraits, I found all of these lense to be a lot close in center sharpness than you would think.... on the 5d ..... the 5D seems to equalize lenses of all qualities in center sharpness..... The 24-105 has slightly better colors, but I shoot raw and could easily boost and adjust colors to make them pretty much equal.
The 28-75mm has really good bokeh compared to the 24-105mm and actually when they are both at f/4, the Tammy is more 'open' with a blurrier background then the 24-105mm.
Here are some comp shots I've done of the years:
Canon 24-105mm vs. Tammy 28-75 @28mm landscape - Center (Canon on left)
Canon 24-105mm vs. Tammy 28-75 @28mm landscape - Edge (Canon on left)
Here is a recent shot with my 28-105mm II at 105mm wide open (resized and slightly sharpened).... This is plenty sharp for my needs..... Portrait shots with the 24-105mm and the 28-75 were very similar in quality to this in my experience.

As the US government stretches out into its second week, with federal food-safety and disease outbreak personnel sent home and prohibited from returning to work--even if they wanted to without pay!--a major foodborne-illness outbreak has begun. And it involves raw chicken meat.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service of the US Department of Agriculture has announced that hundreds of illnesses in 18 or more states were caused by chicken contaminated with Salmonella Heidelberg, traced to Big Poultry producer Foster Farms.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is operating with roughly a third of its staff on the job during the shutdown, "has now brought back 30 furloughed employees in its foodborne division to help handle the outbreak."
In related news, wow, I just noticed that Foster Farms has rebranded itself as "humane" to animals.

CHICAGO, IL - The Jaguars will look to move to 2-0 in the preseason when they face the Bears on Thursday night, but they will be without one of their star defensive players.
Paul Posluszny did not make the trip to Chicago due to a biceps contusion. But the Jaguars say the linebacker is not expected to miss any additional time. Nate Stupar will replace Posluszny in the lineup.
"I just go out there and do my job," Stupar said. "Poz is an amazing linebacker and I've been studying him. Just watching closely how he does things and how he runs things. Just learning every little thing I can from him. And I'm just going to go out there and play my game and have some fun."
Toby Gerhart is healthy again after missing the last two weeks with a hip flexor injury. Gus Bradley told reporters on Tuesday he plans to limit Gerhart's reps against the Bears.
"I'm anticipating, if I hear good reports, he's going to play," Bradley said. He's going to get in there and we're going to get him some reps. It might be four or five carries, something like that to get him going. But I've just got to wait and see what I find out on the latest report."
As for the all-important quarterback question, Chad Henne will play the entire first half against Chicago. Rookie quarterback Blake Bortles, fresh off an impressive performance against the Bucs, is expected to play the entire second half.
Thursday's game is set for 8:00 eastern time at Soldier Field. The game will be televised on ESPN.

Hot Fan: Violet Kanian, Born to Be a Lakers Fan
Violet: any chiefly low, stemless or leafy-stemmed plant of the genus Viola, having purple, blue, yellow, white, or variegated flowers (source: Dictionary.com).
Well, there you have it. If you're named after purple and yellow flowers, you must be a Los Angeles Lakers fan. Violet was literally born a Lakers fan.
"My mom and uncle would always watch Lakers games at my house and cheer as if they were at the Forum. As a curious 3-year-old, I had nothing better to do than to sit between them and cheer my heart out every time they cheered," she said. "I asked if we were cheering for the ones in yellow. Eventually, I learned that it's not yellow, it's gold."
Thus, she became a lifelong Lakers fan. Her most thrilling moment came when she met her favorite players, Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom, at an autograph signing. Calling Bryant a "basketball god" is almost an understatement.

They are all in excellent condition and all have the electric window switch, as well as the mirror switch and door locking on the drivers door. They dont have the speaker covers as I had to transfer them onto my new door cards. Feel free to ask anything if I havent covered it.

SRI LANKA: Who has made a fool of whom?
SRI LANKA: Who has made a fool of whom?
March 19, 2013
No great gain than virtue aught can cause;
No great loss than life oblivious of her laws. – Tamil Kurral
It is not only a portrayal of the lack of will to address the issue of solving problems in Sri Lanka but also the loss of a great opportunity to get rid of the political stalemate in which President Rajapakse has trapped himself that has surfaced by the attacks against innocent Sri Lankans on Indian soil. Attacks on Buddhist monks by angry Indians has reopened, painfully, some of the factual realities that we, as a region centralized by the world's largest democracy, are facing.
Violence is not the guide to a long term solution. It is a guide line that has its origins in ancient India, a nation that has given birth to great philosophies that spread among other communities around the world. But after the end of long and bloody civil war in Sri Lanka led by the military, Tamil Nadu has returned to its notorious history and started, not only threatening its own central government, but also is also mobilizing the innocent citizens to a violence motivated by intolerance of other cultures. This has created a web of crisis that is damaging every layer of the relationship between the two countries.
Nevertheless, even a child can understand that despite the political motivation behind this kind of attack, it will be a major reason for creating another round of the diplomatic cohabitation between the two countries in these crucial times. This is the time when we need more tolerance than intolerance, more political dialogue rather than mob violence, inter-religious activities rather than the fueling of extremism.
None of the Tamil Nadu politicians have spoken out rationally on behalf of the Tamils who are living in the highly militarized areas in the Island nation, but they are playing foul games for their own political benefits at the local level. What they have forgotten is that it is not only Tamils but also Sinhalese who are victims of the Rajapakse regime. None of these leaders can confirm that only Tamils are discriminated against on the Island. In fact, the Sinhalese are also the victims of this powerful nepotistic regime which considers itself to be above the law. To understand this it is not necessary to go deep into our history in a fact finding mission. The impeachment of our chief justice alone is enough for one to appreciate the gravity of the problem.
In these circumstances directly or indirectly, the Tamil Nadu mob violence politicians are gifting a great opportunity to President Rajapaksa which is even better than what J.R. Jayawardhana did in early 80s when 13 soldiers were ambushed by the Tamil Tigers in Thirunelveli in the Jaffna peninsula. Most Sinhalese extremist groups and extremist Tamil political groups are puppets of the present regime, and hence they are now well equipped to fuel another crisis in the country in order to hide their weakness and failures. Imagine if Sri Lankan extremists start attacks on Indians who are visiting Sri Lanka in acts of revenge for the recent incidents! The developing scenario would be catastrophic. Who will benefit from the resulting mayhem? This is where we need to understand the difference between 'to' and 'too'.
When the political situation in the country turns into a rotten egg, the people have to find out how to take that rotten egg out of the box before it explodes and splatters the other eggs. If the Tamil Nadu politicians are happier playing with the rotten egg instead of helping authentic descendants who are concerned about the crisis in Sri Lanka, then the situation will be worse than in the past. Attacking the Sri Lankan monks has created, not only a black hole, but it has given a clear cut picture of where Tamil Nadu politicians are sitting in the political formula in the Sri Lankan issue. The basic question that remains here is: Who has made a fool of whom?

I know it's been a very long time since my last bloop, April 19 to be exact. Things have been crazy, but a good kind of crazy. I'm still getting in between 20 and 27 miles per week on average, and loving every minute of it. DW and I are still collecting change on nearly every run, but haven't found the time to count the money from the first half of the year. It's well over $100, and will still be donated to the Achon Uganda Children's Fund.
My summer vacation impacted my training for Chicago a little bit. That is to say, over two and a half weeks, I ran three times for a total of 29 miles. That's still pretty good for most people, but when you take a vacation 16 weeks from a goal race, it's a bit unsettling. People in Florida hold on to their change a lot better than in Texas. Between DW and I, we found a total of .03 the entire time. I of course, enjoyed food and adult beverages a little more than I should have. And now there are about 7 pounds hanging around that I didn't pack or purchase while away from home.
DW gave me training/coaching from LRS for Father's Day. Sorry RW, I will not be using your training plan for the first time since I returned to running. I was a bit nervous because I didn't really know what to expect.
On Friday, I was invited by a couple of friends to join them for hill work. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE hills. Six miles total with 6 one minute hill repeats in the middle. It felt amazing, and I must have worked it in to conversation a dozen times that day.
Our first training class was on Sunday, and it was intended to only be a 3 mile speed test, which I thought was strange. But I guess the coaches did need to determine where everyone was at. It turned out that the test was on a hilly set of roads with a total of 103 feet of elevation gain. My legs were still tired from Friday's activities, but my official time was 22:18, which placed me 3rd out of 44 participants. I never place that high, so I was happy about my performance. I added another mile as a cool down, and then hung around for a bit and chatted with different runners about planned races, and getting to know people.
After everyone came in, the lead coach provided some other comments about what to expect out of the class, and then I chatted with the store owners for about 30 minutes and continued to cool down. Then I headed out for an additional 8 miles to complete the miles I had on my current training plan for the day.
Total elevation gain over the 8 miles was 545 feet and it was 83* when I finished. The elevation is not Moooose worthy and the heat wasn't Colonel worthy, but both assisted in making me quite tired.
Yesterday was a 30 minute recovery run through trails at a park. It wasn't entirely recovery since I was pushing a stroller but it was really enjoyable to be out with the kids and DW.
This morning the group met up again for an introduction to hills. I really didn't need an introduction since I had been with them intimately twice over the past week. But I'm always in favor of a quick rendezvous.
So, we headed out as a group for a one mile warm up. Then two hill repeats of two minutes each. I was one of only 3 people to make it to the top of the hill before the two minutes elapsed each time. My legs were screaming at me, but they thanked me for the challenge once I got to the top of the hill a second time. After we finished, we did a cool down back to the store.
Tomorrow calls for 45 minutes of easy running, and probably a little bit of resistance/weights thrown in beforehand. Then Thursday will be tempo.
I'm excited to be part of this group, and can already tell it will pay huge dividends come October.
Until next time, happy running,

Society offers reward following Cobble Hill Fairgrounds vandalism
A reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction of an offender following vandalism at the Cobble Hill Fairgrounds.
The Shawnigan Cobble Hill Farmers Institute and Agricultural Society is putting up $250 in the hopes someone will come forward to help identify who might be responsible for acts of vandalism and graffiti at the hall.
"We don't need it here,'' said Society president George Baird of the vandalism. "We're all just volunteers here in the community.''
There is evidence of drug use, fire starting on the floors and furniture, Halloween dummy props burned in front of the cattle barn, damage to light bulbs and fixtures in both barns and damage to fair signage stored in one of the barns.
The many matches discovered are a particular concern to Baird.
"That's the start of arson and we don't need that at all,'' he said.
Shawnigan Lake RCMP are investigating the incidents and will be stepping up patrols of the area.
Society members concur it's disheartening to see a lack of respect for the longstanding community service group and its property.
The vandalism was first discovered Sunday but may have actually occurred a few days or even a week earlier.
"We don't go around the grounds that much being volunteers,'' said Baird.
About three years ago, Baird said someone broke into the hall and sprayed everything with retardant from fire extinguishers before the alarm system kicked in. The perpetrator was eventually caught and put to work doing volunteer work for the society.
Some graffiti was discovered again a few weeks ago before the rash of recent damage.
Baird said anyone with information that could help catch the person or persons responsible should contact the Shawnigan Lake RCMP at 250-743-5514.

As NewsBusters has been reporting, you can't turn on the television or open up a newspaper these days without coming across a piece about extreme right-wing hate speech and/or the supposed violence being stoked by Tea Parties.
During such reports, the so-called journalist involved acts like demonstrations of this sort are somehow new and have taken on inflammatory rhetoric never before seen in this country.
To disprove such blatantly bad reporting, conservative writer Evan Coyne Maloney has put together a marvelous video and essay chronicling some of the protests of the previous decade, and what some attendees were saying and carrying in their hands (video embedded below the fold, vulgarity alert, h/t Power Line):
Not too long ago, taking to the streets to protest your government was considered a patriotic act.
It's true!
But it seems that publicly airing your grievances stopped being patriotic right around noon on January 20th, 2009.
Once President Obama was sworn in, protesting became incitement to violence.
If you've opened up a newspaper or watched a cable news program in the past week or so, you've probably seen members of the media painting Tea Party activists as dangerous bigots. That's because disagreeing with President Obama on issues like government spending and high taxes makes you a racist, you see.
What's interesting about the media's latest freak-out is that there were radicals a-plenty under President Bush. They protested in the streets. They talked openly about revolution and killing. But oddly, the violent imagery used by people claiming to be advocates for peace never registered with the media. They were too busy fawning over Cindy Sheehan.
Why the difference in coverage? Did the media cheerlead the protests against President Bush to hurt him politically? Are they trying to marginalize the increasingly powerful Tea Party movement because they favor President Obama's agenda?
One thing's for sure: If there is such a thing as dangerous rhetoric, then the media is at least one president too late in reporting the story.
Bravo, Evan. Bravo!

Sawyer Paddles Mana 3-Piece QuickDraw Rip 100 SUP Paddle is a breakdown version of the Mana SUP Paddle. The Mana 3-Piece paddle utilizes Sawyer's TiteSet connection to provide a quick and easy break down section in the lower shaft. It is a strong, ultra-light paddle that is finely tuned to the discriminating Stand Up fanatic. It features a tubular carbon fiber shaft and carbon fiber reinforced blades. The Rip 100 paddle blade is a lightweight blade with a fan profile and dual scoop/dihedral power face, which provides a solid no-flutter catch. it is designed for strong, fast paddlers and more aerated water. The unique QuickDraw shaft has a telescoping CamLock ferrule for fast and easy length adjustment.

This is my fourth SUP paddle. The only one where I notice a difference in power. The blade sounds more melodic than a Werner in the water. The WatermanC4 is a bit lighter though nowhere near as stable. The cam lock is a bit more solid than the spring buttons used by Werner and Waterman. Though it takes the torque of the sawyer tool to get it solid. Using a stubby flat bade I could not get it tight enough to take all of the wobble out. The bag it comes with works great.
Beautiful paddle! Great quality. Shipped quickly and arrived well-packaged.

Tate: Illini are losing more than just games
Read the transcript from Loren Tate and Jim Turpin's chat here.
CHAMPAIGN – If you challenge me to a game of choose-up-sides and let me have first pick at every position, two things will happen.
One, some of your players will, for a variety of reasons, turn out better than mine. But I'll win most of the games because I've got more good players.
That's the stranglehold advantage that Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State, as three football examples, have on Illinois. They possess clear edges in tradition, attendance and resources, and have always recruited more quality players. Now, with UI arrows pointing down and coach Ron Zook's approval rating lower than that of Congress (21 percent by one recent poll), the syndrome is manifesting itself in yet another recruiting class.
"That's why the games at Indiana and Purdue are so important," said Jeff Johnson, Rivals.com guru on Illinois recruiting. "You can only recruit on hope so long. Illinois desperately needs something good to happen."
Just to stay within shouting range. Just to keep up with the Minnesotas and Wisconsins. Recruiting, after all, is the lifeblood of success and, when things were going bad for Zook in 2005-06, incoming classes were perceived as a reason for optimism.
Let's all agree that player evaluations by Rivals.com and Scout.com are as erratic as a Kansas weather forecast. Still, these numbers mean something.
– Every Big Ten team has more early commitments than Illinois. According to Rivals.com, Penn State has 19 commits of which 14 are four-star prospects, Ohio State 13 and eight, Michigan 19 and four, Michigan State 14 and four, Minnesota 18 and two, Iowa 17 and two, Wisconsin 15 and none, Indiana 22 and none, Purdue 14 and none and Northwestern 10 and none. Illinois has nine, of which two have four-star rankings. And while those two, tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz of Johnsburg and defensive back Corey Cooper of Proviso East, confirm their intention to attend Illinois, they're hedging their bets.
Fiedorowicz has said he'll visit Iowa and Wisconsin while Cooper has scheduled trips to Notre Dame, Arizona and Tennessee.
– Want to know why the same teams, with a few exceptions, dominate the Top 25 year after year? Consider that Texas has verbals from 16 four-star players, LSU 15 and Oklahoma 12. Is that an advantage, or what? Southern Cal has eight four-star and two five-star standouts. Florida has 12 four-stars and one five-star. A lot of these high-ranked stars will fizzle, but these programs start with more top-rated players in a single class than Illinois and others in the Big Ten's mid-range attract in four years.
– The state of Illinois is down in talent. Otherwise, how do you explain that the 10 Big Ten schools other than the UI have 161 verbals, and only nine are from Illinois. Northwestern has yet to draw a single player from its own state.
Illini need 'a catalyst'
"We talk to a lot of high school players, and they're still saying the right things," Johnson said. "There'll be a lot of prospects on campus for the Michigan game (Oct. 31). The Illini need something positive to happen. They need to be 3-4 when Michigan comes to town. Iowa and Wisconsin are working hard to influence Fiedorowicz to change his mind."
Iowa senior tight end Tony Moeaki caught six passes for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 30-28 defeat of Michigan. All-star Travis Beckum has graduated, but the Badgers are still emphasizing throws to the tight end, Garrett Graham (27 catches so far). Even with UI offensive coordinator Mike Schultz coaching the tight ends, not many passes are being thrown that direction. With Michael Hoomanawanui hurt Saturday, the Illini threw no balls to the tight end. And Hoomanawanui has just five catches so far. You can see what Iowa and Wisconsin are selling to a 6-foot-7 speedster who wants the ball.
"Negative recruiting is going strong," said Scout.com's Jack Lyman. "Opponents are saying Illinois was a one-year wonder, a flash-in-the-pan, and using that against them. It is hard to compare this upcoming class with other Zook classes because they don't have the numbers. They can't bring in 25-plus like they did before. This class won't have the depth.
"The Illini team desperately needs something to serve as a catalyst," Lyman said. "The results of these games affects recruiting. Sean Hickey, a big tackle from Pennsylvania, might be the next player to commit if he thinks Illinois can be a winner. He is also looking at Syracuse and Boston College. Players like Hickey are being advised to wait and see what happens."
Recruiting tidbits
– UI commit Chandler Whitmer of Downers Grove South received four stars from Scout.com but is ranked by Rivals.com behind Prospect's Miles Osei and Wheaton North's Taylor Graham as the top quarterbacks in the state. Based on the first half of the season, Johnson says the uncommitted Osei is Player of the Year. Graham, who was born in Columbus when his father, Kent Graham, was playing for Ohio State, is the lone Illinoisan committed to the Buckeyes.
– Darryl Lee, linebacker from Florida, is attending Parkland and will count among next year's UI recruits. St. Louisan Jerry Brown, a standout defensive end last spring, lost eligibility but is still here and may want to return. And tackle D'Angelo McCray is sitting out in junior college (Coffeyville) and is interested in coming back.
– Mike Locksley, who raided Washington, D.C., for talent while here, has taken his lariat to New Mexico where he has attracted and gained verbals from nearly 20 players from the nation's capital ... even as he is on the verge of being fired. Lineman Ugo Uzodinma transferred to New Mexico last month, leaving the UI nine D.C. players on its two-deep chart. Look for those numbers to dwindle in the future.

I believe there is merit to Loren's argument but I think the part he keeps overlooking is that any school can overcome these problems with a true quality coach. In football I don;t believe Illinois has had a quality coach they could keep.
Mike White might have been that guy but he couldn't control the program. One other coach I wonder about is Bob Blackman who I wonder if he might have done better with better resources provided. At that time Cecil Coleman did little to improve the resources available. That was also a different time with different rules and bowl situation.
What I have noticed is when we get a new coach he usually has one good year which seems to be due to introducing new wrinkles that the other teams quickly catch onto.
I believe a truly quality coach could bring the Illinois product up year after year. We have yet to see that coach.
i agree, jturner. iowa gets the occasional 4 star kid, but ferentz gets the most out of mainly 3 star talent...and all they do is win and go to bowls. imagine what a dude like that could've done juice's class or the rejus/wilson class? i'll keep sayin' it: if we don't get rid of zook during the season (tomorrow!), we'll pay the price in recruiting, etc., for the next 3 to 4 years. we've seen this movie in C-U - been playin' over and over since the lou tepper days...
If Coach Zook would have bothered to hire real offensive and defensive coordinators, then the program would not be in the crisis state it is in right now. Mike Schultz is clearly a disaster and Dan Disch has no business being a I-A level defensive coodinator. Zook needs to clean house at the end of the season with his coodinators and hire ones that actually know what they are doing.
If this is a bowl-less season I suspect Zook will be forced to replace some of his assistants to save his own job. The lack of success last year and this year comes down to coaching and not the players. There is plenty of talent on this team (and last year's) to be a mediocre 6-6.
Quality coach? So how do you explain Gary Moeller's success at Michigan after his stint in Champaign? It is much much more than a coach, it is an entire program. And right now Illinois is exemplifying the same pattern: a new coach comes in and rebuilds, has 2 competitive years, then the program has a couple of bad years (see Lou Tepper, Ron Turner, Ron Zook). Its going to come to the point where Illinois needs to stick with a head coach through thick and thin, but this is the worst time for considering a coaching change-particularly with what is going on with U of I administrative changes. In both football and basketball, when we do have a consistent winning coach, they have sought for bigger and better positions (see Lon Kruger, Bill Self, John Mackovic). Let Zook have the benefit of caretaking his own misfortunes while the university gets stable up front. The program is clearly cyclic, so Illinois football should be competitive again in a couple of years.
I agree with the comments of will134 (see above). Get, as well, a good quarterback's coach and improve upon the offensive and defense coordinator system. Coach Zook will continue to work hard and even moreso now correct the problems. Illinois should stand firm in support of Coach Zook and make this widely known to the general public nationwide. This will stop the rumors of his demize in general and specifically when it comes to recruiting future football players from Illinois and elsewhere. The Illinois adminstration should be vocal in their support of Coach Zook. They should get with the program of solid and sound public relations, not be silent. Otherwise, other schools will continue their attempts to raid future Illinois recruits. Final point, Loren is way too dramatic with this column, saying things in support of the Illinois program verbally but writing the opposite in his columns. Stay consistent Loren, that's all we ask of you as a sports writer/jounralist.
Illinois needs to be recruiting the right guys, not just the 3- and 4- star guys. We need leaders who are willing to accept the challenge and responsibility to make Illinois into a winner. Most of Penn State's and OSU's second string could be starting at other schools, but they took the easy way out. It's safter to ride the bench at a big program, rather than seizing the chance to lead an up and coming team. That's the selling point. We offer huge opportunity. Just look what Northwestern has done over the past 15 years. They've won 3 big ten champtionships since 1995 without an NFL quality player on their roster. It's about motivation and heart. Wisconsin was a doormat in the Big 10 for 30 years before they put the right pieces in place and have won 3 Rose Bowls since 1993. You can throw the recruiting ratings out the window. Football is a game that's won with strength, intellect, discipline and heart. I think Butkus and Grabowski would agree.
It's all about the $$! So stick with the Zookster and see how many season tickets you sell next year. And check with all those big donors in the luxury suites....think they enjoy watching this sort of football?
And do we really want RG hiring ANOTHER FB coach? Yikes!
Noeller was okay at Michigan with high level talent but he was not making the fans happy in Michigan (I live in Michigan) and his teams were iffy given their talent level. I believe Blackman overall did better than Moeller, Tepper (barely better win percentage than Blackman), Turner, or Zook so far but had far less monetary resources to work with at that time.
Iowa, Wisconsin, and Northwestern show that a good coach can produce competitive teams. Other than White I have not seen Illinois keep a successful coach (Mackovic to me was the only other successful coach in recent history).
White showed the stadium can be filled week after week.
Zook can change assistants but I doubt it will change the dynamics of the team enough to change the situation at this point. Too many coaching changes are needed and that is like starting over with a new head coach.
The key is the right coach and then plenty of money to keep him.
Unless the team goes 1-11 I doubt there will be a change due to the administrative issues cited and the length of Zook's contract.
Thanks for a good article, Loren. I've been reading your columns since you came to the News-Gazette and glad you are still cranking them out. I am disappointed in the team's attitude and effort. It looks to me like Zook has lost the team. I think there are some pretty major issues internally that we aren't hearing about. This teams has never shown a competitive fire. I don't have the kind of expectations that some of the folks on the blogs have. Historically, the Illini are a .520 team and that's about what we should expect. Hope for better, yes, but expect Big Ten titles like OSU and Michigan. Hasn't happened in many years and I don't think it's going to in the near future. We have titles in 51, 53, 63, 83, 90 and 01. That's my expectation- a title once a decade and be competitive with the other mid level teams each year. Throw in an upset like OSU once in a while and call it good enough. Being a lifelong Illini fan I'll always be one but I don't torture myself with unrealistic expections. I sure miss you and Larry Stewart and Jim Turpin down here in Gator Land. I'm thinking about becoming a Gator fan since I could almost use the same colors! Go Illini!

All the beautiful celebrities dressed to impress at the 2014 ESPY Awards were somewhat overshadowed by Young Money recording artists Lil Wayne and Christina Milian appearing to be going public with an unforeseen sexual relationship.
According to TMZ, it was all for a publicity stunt to support articles such as this.
Lil Wayne and Christina Milian are NOT dating … despite the hot hands at the ESPYs … it's all part of Wayne's clever ploy to make $$$.
Milian recently signed with Young Money Entertainment and Wayne is planning on rolling out her music big time. Our sources say Wayne had the idea to take Christina to the ESPYs to drum up press … and that's the beginning and end of the story.
Now the backstory on why their dating would be SUPER creepy. Ready?
— Christina Milian has a daughter with The Dream
— Lil Wayne has a son with R&B singer Nivea
— Nivea has a daughter and twin sons with The Dream
So Christina Milian's daughter and Lil Wayne's son have three half-siblings in common.
Nevertheless, Weezy has been known to bag him by the bra-load and nobody on Black Twitter is believing the hype.
Check out some of the hilarious commentary this entire PR move spawned.

Slip-on these super cute leather wedges with a wide band and contrast crisscross straps. Adjustable tie.
cute but already falling apart
I have worn these for maybe a total of 10-12 days so far since I bought them. They are very tight around the toes but I'm to the point now where I can where them for at least a half a day before I need to take them off and rub the edges of my big and little toes...and this was after wearing huge thick socks inside them to help widen them while wearing them around the house only. That I can put up with (I was too lazy and poor to send them back for a larger size). But what is soooooo absolutely frustrating is that the foot beds are already lifting off the soles!!!!!!!! Terrible terrible TERRIBLE quality which is super disappointing because of their price and the fact that they are incredibly cute on. Not impressed FP, simply not impressed.
Hi redclimber, We are sorry to hear about your experience. Someone will be reaching out. Thanks!
Wanted to love them
I loved the shoes on the picture and when they arrived. I was looking forward to wearing them on my upcoming trip. However, I could only use them once as the top of my feet hurt too much, specially from the string that goes over your toes. After using them for one day I got a blister on my big toe as a result from the rubbing of the string.. don't think I will be able to wear them again :(
So Ready for warm weather!
I ordered the dove gray in size 39. The shoes fits true to size and feels good on the bottom of your feet. The ties take a little working to get them organized and looking right, but I love the color and overall feel of the shoe.

There are many vegetable recipes in Mastering the Art of French Cooking and nearly all of them are variations on a butter theme - no surprise there!
I've been catching up on old French Chef episodes on DVD and taking great pleasure in hearing Julia Child verbalize the word "butter" {which happens pretty frequently}. I would guess that even Meryl Streep would have a hard time replicating the exact way Julia can convey all that's good about butter in that single utterance. It's comes out of her mouth in an emphatic, breathy caress:
I can virtually feel creamy, buttery fat coating my tongue and taste the sweet delicacy of a nob of really good butter every time I hear her say it. How does she do that?
Butter elevates many foods to greatness, but in the case of Brussels sprouts it's a match made in culinary heaven. Although I've found that Brussels sprouts are not at the top of many people's lists of favorite foods, I happen to love them. When fresh and in season as they are right now, they mirror the sweetly nutty flavor profile of butter to a "T".
I also like that they resemble miniature cabbages, but don't really taste like cabbage; to me they are more like a combination of broccoli and cauliflower. However, Julia advices to use care when cooking Brussels sprouts, as "overcooked sprouts become, yellowish, mushy and develop the flavor of stale cabbage." They can also develop a certain overcooked-cabbage smell, which is probably the number one reason people seem to avoid them.
There are a handful of recipe variations for Brussels sprouts in MTAOFC, and they are all coated in butter and/or cheese. I decided to prepare the freshly picked Brussels sprouts I brought home with other day with a simple dressing of butter and cream, which will nestle up to a Thanksgiving turkey just fine.
Creamed Brussels Sprouts
Serves 6
Printable recipe here
- 2 {1-quart} baskets Brussels sprouts
- Fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- Freshly ground black pepper
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan; add 2 teaspoons salt and drop in the Brussels sprouts. Cook the sprouts for 5 minutes; drain in a colander and run cold water over them to stop the cooking.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Butter a gratin or baking dish with the butter and arrange the sprouts heads-up in the dish. Cover with foil and bake 10 minutes.
Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan {or microwave on high in a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup until boiling hot}. Pour the hot cream over the sprouts and continue baking for 10 more minutes.
Season with more salt, if you like, and grind fresh pepper over them before serving.

I previously got fillers at a North Dallas facility. I was very pleased. However, I recently had to schedule for this procedure with the dr. there who did my DOT, in which I was very disappointed. So, I'm considering getting fillers @ Skintastic. Has anyone gotten fillers there? Were you pleased? Thank you.

Citi Updates Mobile App to Add Features, Streamline Experience
Citi has announced that its redesigned Citi Mobile® app is now available - "to provide U.S. banking and credit card customers with new and enhanced mobile account management capabilities."
At Citi we want our customers to have remarkable experiences in every way they interact with us and manage their accounts," said Melissa Stevens, Managing Director, Citi Internet & Mobile.
"Citi Mobile is a vital and growing channel for our customers, so we have reimagined what mobile banking looks like and produced a new app that is designed specifically for how people bank on their phones. We have added new features and intuitive navigation to make Citi Mobile - the first of its kind when it launched seven years ago - an industry leader again and an even easier way for people to manage their accounts on-the-go."
Citi said the U.S. launch includes a limited beta test of Citi Mobile Snapshot, "a new opt-in feature that enables customers to check deposit and credit card balances and recent transactions without having to log into their accounts." The opt-in feature is intended to help enrolled banking and credit card customers monitor their accounts on-the-go by displaying balances and the 15 most recent transactions without requiring them to log in every time. All account transactions will continue to require log-in authorization. Citi says it is the first major U.S. bank to offer the feature, which is expected to be rolled out to all U.S. customers later this year."
A demo video of the updated mobile app can be found here on Citi's YouTube channel.

CNN is known for being an activist network on the subject of gay rights, so it comes as no surprise that their newest target is the Boy Scouts of America. As Newsbusters' Matthew Philbin recently pointed out, CNN has close ties to GLAAD (Gays and Lesbians Allied Against Defamation) which might explain its decision to attack any organization that does not support its gay agenda.
The Boy Scouts organization, which does not allow openly gay individuals to join its organization as employees, volunteers or members, has been attacked viciously by CNN since it reaffirmed its position in June of this year. Since then, CNN has brought on numerous guests critical of the Scouts policy, including on Tuesday when it hosted Martin Sizmar, a former Eagle Scout who returned his medal because of their policy on gay individuals serving in their organization. The cable network allowed no one to defend the Scouts. [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
CNN Newsroom host Carol Costello provided an extremely biased and sympathetic interview to Sizmar, giving him a platform to slam the organization for a position it has held for decades. Costello began the interview asking Sizmar to explain how it felt for him becoming an Eagle Scout, the highest honor the organization awards to its members, before letting him spout his displeasure with the Boy Scouts.
Costello decided it was appropriate to ask Sizmar whether or not he was, "really surprised that the Boy Scouts reaffirmed its policy? Religion has always entered into this organization." Sizmar responded by saying:
Well, religion, yes, but there are a lot of religions that don't believe it's okay to discriminate against gay people. The Episcopal church for example, there a lot of troops that meet in Episcopal churches where there might be a gay priest and yet a gay boy can't be in the troop and tying knots with the other scouts
Costello continued her attack by asking Sizmar whether or not she feels President Obama, who is the honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America, should reconsider having the office of commander in chief hold this position, given the Scouts' stance on homosexuality.
As is typical of CNN, no one was brought in to defend the Boy Scouts, and instead a one-sided 'interview' is conducted to prop up the gay agenda of CNN and its friends at GLAAD.
See relevant transcript below.
CNN Newsroom
10:50 a.m. EDT
CAROL COSTELLO: It is the highest achievement a Boy Scout can earn. It's the Eagle Scout medal and badge and it's not easy to get one, earn one I should say. Only 2% of scouts attain Eagle Scout status. And now dozens of Eagles, as they are called, are returning their medals to the boy scouts. It's all to protest the organization's reaffirmation on the organization's ban on gays. Martin Sizmar is one of those Eagle Scouts. Good morning and welcome.
MARTIN SIZMAR: Good Morning. Thanks.
COSTELLO: Why did you decide to return your medal?
SIZMAR: They had a secret review and they just decided without really even allowing their board to vote on it that they were going to continue the ban on gay scouts. I just didn't want to have my Eagle badge as long as they were doing that.
COSTELLO: What did your Eagle Scout status mean? I mean, tell me how special this was for you as a Boy Scout.
SIZMAR: Well I joined scouts after I turned 11 and got I my Eagle right when I turned 18 and it was the biggest day of my life to that point. I mean it was something I was really proud of. I moved around the country. I always brought my badge with me wherever I moved because it was something I really treasured.
COSTELLO: I think the motto is once an eagle, always an eagle, though, right?
SIZMAR: I think that's the motto, but I'm no longer an Eagle. I turned my badge in and I have said that I'm not loyal to the organization anymore so long they're going to continue a policy of discrimination.
COSTELLO: What did they say when you turned your medal in?
SIZMAR: You know, I haven't heard back. I sent a letter and I posted it to Facebook and a lot of people shared it around and a lot of other Eagles had been doing that before and have done it since. And I haven't heard back yet. The spokesman just keeps kind of sending off the same press release to everybody who asks him about it so I'm not sure what they think.
COSTELLO: Were you really surprised that the Boy Scouts reaffirmed its policy? Religion has always entered into this organization.
SIZMAR: Well, religion, yes, but there are a lot of religions that don't believe it's okay to discriminate against gay people. The Episcopal Church for example, there a lot of troops that meet in Episcopal churches where there might be a gay priest and yet a gay boy can't be in the troop and tying knots with the other scouts. So I was surprised that they did it especially in the way they did after having just a secret review and then handing this down rather than actually discussing it and allowing it to be an issue that they took seriously.
COSTELLO: I understand that the President of the United States is the honorary president of the Boy Scouts. That is the tradition among all of our presidents. Do you think President Obama ought to remain the honorary president of the Boy Scouts?
SIZMAR: I think he should look at it after November and think about it. I think that there are bigger issues for the country to address right now than that. But I think it's something that he and other politicians who accept awards from the Boy Scouts should think very seriously about.
COSTELLO: Do you think that many Eagle Scouts are following your lead?
SIZMAR: I have seen about a hundred online so far. So I think that there are some. I mean, Eagle scouts tend to be great people and all of the eagles I've met everywhere I've gone, I've met so many great people and they are principled people and I think that, yeah, there will be more that will continue to do this.

Drives, Autoloaders, Libraries, and Software
A standalone tape drive can write to or read from one tape at a time. Autoloaders and small libraries are roughly analogous to jukeboxes or carousels handling multiple audio CDs. This type of device holds multiple tapes and uses robotic mechanisms to load and remove them from the enclosed drive, but still it can only write to or read from one tape at a time.
Autoloaders and libraries are about convenience; a user with a single-tape drive would have to insert one or more tapes every day by hand. But a user with an autoloader can just fill it with properly labeled tapes and walk away, maybe for weeks at a time.
The distinctions between autoloaders and libraries are rather blurry, even within the industry. An autoloader tends to have a single drive, while a library may have more. StorageTek, with its L20, L40, and L80 libraries, has gone even farther by engineering those devices to accommodate multiple tape formats. Libraries are generally considered more complex devices and tend to have more advanced features, such as bar code readers for keeping track of tapes, and they can hold more tapes. In fact, some large enterprise libraries can hold hundreds of tapes.
Unlike many other types of computer hardware, tape backup systems have evolved little in terms of native intelligence. This means they depend totally on software running on locally or remotely connected workstations or servers to carry out all functions. For an overview of the three most popular software solutions, see "Backup Software".

PennDOT offers options on Route 366 bridge construction
PennDOT is moving forward with plans to replace the structurally deficient Route 366 bridge over Route 56 in New Kensington.
A public meeting to display plans for the project is set for 3 p.m., Sept. 3 at New Kensington City Hall.
"The plans will show some alternatives in different ways of construction," said PennDOT spokeswoman Valerie Petersen. "They look for public input on the plan they created."
The project is estimated to cost about $4.7 million, although contract bids have not been sought.
Construction would not begin until next year, Petersen said.
Work will be done on one side of the bridge at a time in order to maintain one-lane, two-way traffic on the bridge, Petersen said. There could be short-term detours.
About 15,000 vehicles travel that portion of Route 366 on an average day.
The 56-year-old span is on PennDOT's list of structurally deficient bridges. Its rating of 70.3 out of 100 makes it eligible for funding.
New Kensington City Clerk Dennis Scarpiniti said the project will benefit the city.
"We're looking forward to it," he said. "We only have two local bridges — the viaduct and Ninth Street — and they're relatively new. And now we're going to have this new infrastructure.
"I think it's great for the City of New Kensington."

Dr. Renata was one of 10 exceptional young researchers chosen nationwide for the prestigious award, which Pew gives annually to enable postdoctoral-level, Latin American scientists to work in top laboratories in the United States. The award provides salary support for over two years. When finished with the U.S.-based research, Fellows receive additional funding to establish labs in their home countries.
"For over two decades, the Latin American Fellows Program in the Biomedical Sciences has provided outstanding, early-career scientists from Latin American countries with advanced training opportunities and has assisted them in bringing their knowledge and skills back to their nations," said Rebecca W. Rimel, president and CEO of The Pew Charitable Trusts.
Dr. Pereira, 31, came to the United States in 2011 to work in the La Jolla Institute lab of Anjana Rao, Ph.D., a prominent genetics and cell biology researcher and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. "This opportunity is very valuable because Dr. Rao`s lab is one of the most prestigious labs in the world focused on gene expression regulation," said Dr. Pereira, who also studies molecular biology in her home country of Brazil. "I am thrilled to receive the Pew award because it will enable me to continue my research here in the U.S. After completing my Fellowship, I will return to Brazil where I will apply the knowledge that I have gained here to improve our research activities."
At the La Jolla Institute, Dr. Pereira is delving deeper into a discovery by Dr. Rao in 2010 on gene modifications in leukemia. "Small chemical modifications on DNA and its associated proteins, known as histones, can change dramatically how genes are turned on in cells," said Dr. Rao. "Dr. Pereira's work will tell us exactly how two of these modifications, on DNA and on a histone respectively, are related to each other and how they affect the development of blood cancers and the proper functioning of the immune system."
Ultimately, Dr. Rao added, Dr. Pereira's work will enhance our understanding of cancer biology and could provide a new target for the treatment of leukemia.
Dr. Pereira said she also studied gene expression in Brazil, but that they do not have the high degree of know-how in approaches to study DNA and histone modifications nor access to the next-generation sequencing and high-throughput genomics screening technology located in La Jolla Institute's RNA interference (RNAi) Center. The Center, one of the few of its type in the world, enables researchers to sift through thousands of genes in a relatively short period. "It's one thing to read about these experiments in scientific papers," said Dr. Pereira. "It's another to actually do them. That's why I've learned so much in one year."

Here's the specs: 15" w/ LED screen, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM [upgraded from 2GB], GeForce 8600M GT 256mb Graphics, 160GB Hard Drive. I've still got the original box, styrofoam, install discs [both tiger & leopard], DVI>VGA Adapter, and of course the Magsafe charger is included. Included as well is the original 2GB RAM from Apple. Also, the MBP is still under warranty until August 5th, 2008. It is still eligible for Applecare. I've also got a soft neoprene sleeve for it that I've used to carry it around in. It's olive green on the outside, orange on the inside. I've also kept a red plastic shell on it, made by Speck, and have never used it outside of the shell, aside from when I was cleaning it. Overall, the computer is in great shape, though there are a couple scuffs on the front, near the latch. They're from taking the shell on/off for cleaning. Aside from that there are no dings/deep scratches, or any major cosmetic damage. I know a refurb model w/ similar specs is $1,649 from Apple. I've got the additional RAM, plus the sleeve & shell. Not too sure where that places me. I'm interested in trading for a 24" iMac [either white or aluminum], plus some cash possibly, depending on the iMac. I've never sold anything via Macrumors, but I've made plenty of sales via craigslist & other forums, such as Treocentral. Let me know, thanks! EDIT: I'm located in Grand Rapids, MI. Also, if pictures are wanted just let me know. EDIT2: Will sell outright for $1,650. Paypal preferred. Thanks! EDIT3: Price lowered to $1,600.

ALBERTAS Run will not defend his crown in Saturday's Betfred Monet's Garden Old Roan Chase at Aintree.
Temple Guiting-based Jonjo O'Neill's three-time Cheltenham Festival scorer ran out a determined winner of the Grade Two handicap 12 months ago and returned from a long lay-off to finish an excellent second in the Ryanair Chase.
Connections suggested earlier this month the 11-yearold could return to action on Merseyside but he did not feature in the confirmations.
