Shari Hull always thought she'd be just like Donna Reed: stay at home, raise the kids, and when the time came, retire comfortably with her husband. But that only happens in sitcoms.
Hull's husband died last year of cancer at age 53, and now she's had to join the vast army of baby boomers and senior citizens headed back to work. Like thousands of others, Hull, 58, has discovered that finding work is the toughest job she's ever had. She's been to four job fairs over the past several months, filled out a mountain of application forms and made dozens of phone calls. At best, she gets "We'd love to hire you, but . . ."
In the meantime, she took a computer class through AARP and takes part-time jobs for minimum wage until she can renew her nursing license.
"I wasn't looking for a CEO job,'' she said from the Pinellas Park home she recently put on the market. "Just something basic. But I guess now all bets are off. Every job you apply for, there are 50 or 100 other people also applying for it.
"The only consolation,'' she added, "is that I know I'm not alone.''
Indeed, forecasters say the Tampa Bay area will lose 42,900 jobs by the end of this year, on top of the 30,600 jobs lost in 2008, pushing the area's unemployment rate to nearly 9 percent.
With incredibly shrinking nest eggs, many of those in their 50s and older are finding the going especially rough. The number of seniors filing for bankruptcy is soaring, and as they try to re-enter the work force, seniors are finding the competition fierce, and not just from younger workers. Florida had 1.44-million workers age 55 and older in 2007, and the number is growing by about 80,000 a year, according to state figures.
Every day Bob Yakubisen, a work search director for AARP in St. Petersburg, has a front-row seat to the trouble. "I probably have enrollment papers for 50 people waiting to get in (the program),'' Yakubisen said. "I don't turn anybody away. But we're just backed up, and there's nothing I can do. I wish there were.''
One of the problems Yakubisen said seniors encounter is a lack of computer skills, something he tries to get them to overcome through introductory classes. One senior told him she stood at an in-store computer for four hours trying to figure out how to fill out an application.
Money can also be a problem. Another senior Yakubisen tried to place was offered a good job but wouldn't take it because he'd have to give back much of his Social Security benefit. That's because people who receive Social Security benefits before age 65 or 66 can earn no more than $14,160 a year before their benefits start to drop.
Another problem is that some seniors view entry level work as degrading.
"But things have changed,'' Yakubisen said. "You may have to go in as the janitor and show them what you can do. Most employers understand the value of showing up on time with a good attitude.''
And the Internet, he said, is not always the answer. "It's networking. Tell everybody you know you're looking for a job.''
Increasingly, the last stop on the line for those who can't find work is bankruptcy. Stetson University College of Law professors Rebecca Morgan and Theresa Pulley Radwan are completing a study on elderly people in Central Florida who file for bankruptcy and why they do it.
"We expected to find a lot of medical debt, and we haven't,'' Pulley Radwan said. "We've seen quite a bit of credit card debt, and that raises more questions than answers.''
They say that for many seniors, personal savings are at zero, equity in homes has disappeared, and the average retirement plan took a 45 percent hit in 2008. "This,'' Morgan said, "is a very tough time.''
Joe Pezzano would agree. A Vietnam War veteran from Pinellas Park, Pezzano, 55, has been looking for work for nearly two years and has exhausted his savings. He has experience in computers and regularly scours the want ads, WorkNet Pinellas, monster.com and the AARP work search program. All he can find is an 18-hour a week job at minimum wage.
But he'll land a good job, he said. Something that pays the bills and gives him a sense of accomplishment. It's all a matter of attitude.
"Don't become discouraged,'' he said. "If you do, you'll quit looking, and that could drag you down further.
"Remember that you have something to offer.''

In the first night of a home-and-home between the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks, it was the Raptors who came out on top with the 95-83 victory. The Raptors trailed by 12 at one point but turned it on in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Knicks by 17. The Raptors now move to 12-15 on the season and 6-3 since trading away Rudy Gay. The Knicks fall to 9-20 with the loss. These teams will meet again tomorrow night.
Points By Quarter
|New York
Here are some notes from the game:
- DeMar DeRozan led the way for the Raptors with 25 points on 7-13 shooting. DeRozan was also 9-14 from the free throw line.
- Raptors big man Jonas Valanciunas had a monster game with 16 points and 18 rebounds. His 18 rebounds are a career-high and he recorded his team leading ninth double-double of the season.
- Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry continued his strong play with 15 points, 11 assists and four rebounds. Terrence Ross and John Salmons also had strong nights for the Raptors as they each poured in 11 points.
- Former-Knicks forward Steve Novak didn't see the floor for the Raptors. He may get some playing time tomorrow night as players could be tired on the second night of a back-to-back.
- Knicks forward Andrea Bargnani faced off against his former team for the first time. Bargnani had an impressive first half scoring 14 points and adding nine rebounds and two blocks. Bargnani cooled off in the second half and finished the game with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
- J.R. Smith had 17 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Knicks, while Tim Hardaway Jr. added 15 points off the bench. The two combined to hit seven three pointers.
We often criticize Raptors Head Coach Dwane Casey for his coaching decisions, but he coached a good game tonight. He did a nice job with the rotations and properly used his timeouts throughout the game.
NEXT GAME: Saturday, December 28 vs. New York Knicks. 7 pm. ET.

The Drew League continues to lure some of the most entertaining NBA players this offseason; the last outing featured James Harden and Nick Young while this time around the likes of Stephen Jackson (in the Air Jordan IV "Fear" nonetheless) Brandon Jennings, and Ron Artest made their way to the court. But all eyes were on the surprise appearance of Kevin Durant who showed up wearing a neon volt and orange pair of his new Nike KD 6. While he may have missed the buzzer beater, KD threw down with the best summer players in California and reminded everyone what was in store for this upcoming season.

Considering a basic point-and-shoot to capture photos and videos of your summer vacation and other activities? Before you buy one, answer these five questions:
If your smart phone has a decent camera, that might be all you need—for basic photos, anyway. In fact, your smart phone can not only shoot photos but also capture high-definition video. Some phones have neat features such as the ability to create a composite group photo combining the best individual faces from a series of shots.
If yes, then a smart phone isn't the answer. Although a phone does have zoom capability, it doesn't have an optical zoom lens. Instead, it uses digital zoom, which magnifies the center of the frame without increasing picture detail. That generally degrades image quality, especially if you zoom in a lot. Optical zooms, which use lens elements to get you closer to the action, don't compromise image quality. Some cameras, which we call superzoom, have very long zoom lenses. The Nikon Coolpix P600, $450, has a super-long, 60x optical zoom lens that can go from 24mm to 1440mm.
For more on point-and-shoots, check out our buying guide and Ratings for digital cameras.
Another feature that sets some point-and-shoots apart from smart phones and tablets is that they're rugged and waterproof. That means you can swim underwater with a rugged-and-waterproof model to a specified depth for a specified length of time, and the camera is designed to survive a fall onto a hard surface. The Canon PowerShot D30, for example, is waterproof to a depth of 82 feet and can withstand a 6.5-foot drop.
Almost all smart phones and tablets have very weak LED flashes. So, if you want to take better flash photos, a point-and-shoot is the way to go. Some point-and-shoots even have manual controls to increase or decrease the amount of illumination the flash puts out.
Although smart phones have improved in image quality, point-and-shoot cameras still have larger sensors and, by and large, better lenses, which are the main factors in delivering photos and video with higher image quality.

REDD and Clean Technologies Innovations. Is there a Trade-off?
A key policy question when discussing REDD is how to balance low-cost forestry emission reductions, available in the near term, with investments to drive technological innovation in energy, industry, and other sectors over the longer period. In this article we report a research effort showing that the link of REDD to an international carbon market is, as expected, economically efficient. In addition, provided that the climate policy is stringent (we explore here a 535 ppmv CO2e concentration target), the cost savings due to REDD should entail only a modest tradeoff in terms of reduced clean energy innovation. Reduced clean energy innovation could in principle handicap future efforts to reduce global emissions. However, this analysis suggests that the availability of REDD, in particular when combined with the possibility of banking emission allowances, could provide a head start on climate mitigation that is an aggregate hedge against uncertain future costs. Integrating REDD into global carbon markets could thus lower policy costs and facilitate more ambitious climate policies now and in the future.

Louisiana Close to Passing Pro-Life Measures
One of the many things that makes Louisiana the greatest state in the Union is that due to its high population of Catholics it is the most pro-life state on the issue of abortion. This allows Louisiana to develop and pass pro-life laws that legislators in other states can adopt.
The latest laws are no exception, though perhaps they are too late. You may remember how in the healthcare debate, Catholics promoting the bill often pointed out that insurance often covers abortion and that the federal bill was doing little to expand coverage for abortion over the current private insurance system. Some in that camp obviously believed that the Republicans were too wedded to big business/insurance to actually change that.
I was glad they pointed this out, as it exposed a situation which I believed pro-lifers would soon rectify. Indeed, Louisiana is very close to doing just that:
House Bill 1247 by Rep. Frank Hoffman, R-West Monroe, would bar private insurers from covering "elective" abortions, including by women who are victims of rape or incest. The only exception would be for abortion procedures performed to save the life of the pregnant woman
Sen. Gerald Long, R-Natchitoches, who handled Hoffman's bill, said it was filed in response to the health-care overhaul bill approved earlier this year by Congress, which gives states the right to "opt out" of covering elective abortions. He said the legislation is meant to affirm Louisiana's long-standing opposition to abortion.Hoffman's bill, which passed 28-3, must go back to the House for agreement with changes made by the Senate before it can go to Gov. Bobby Jindal's desk.
Hopefully more pro-life states will follow Louisiana's lead.
But it does clearly show the problems with the positions adopted by Catholics who promoted Obamacare. They gave up on the pro-life movement's ability to actually change things. While sometimes the GOP does justly cause pro-lifers to be close to despair, Louisiana shows that sometimes real pro-life change can come if only we work for it.
10 Responses to Louisiana Close to Passing Pro-Life Measures
"They gave up on the pro-life movement's ability to actually change things."
Michael, you hit the nail squarely on the head there, my friend. And it wasn't just in the Obamacare fight. We saw the same thing during the 2008 election when formerly solid pro-lifers abandoned the principled positions they once held regarding the necessity of pursuing a legal regime that protects the unborn in law and decided to play the pro-choice Catholic game of pursuing left-wing "quality-of-life" measures that allegedly "reduce" the so-called "need" for abortion.
Examine the things Kmiec, Cafardi, et al said during the 2008 election to justify their support of the pro-abortion Obama, and it basically comes down to the problem you identify: they appeared to have despaired of the ability of the pro-life agenda and the efforts of pro-lifers to bring about change (never mind just holding the line against the encroaching culture of death). Either that or they were flakes hoping to latch onto the hopey-changey bandwagon. Probably a little of both.
Any thoughts on if the restrictions will be found Constitutional? Not being negative, just don't know.
"due to its high population of Catholics, (Louisiana) is the most pro-life state"
By that measure, Rhode Island ought to be the most pro-life state in the Union since nearly 60 percent of its residents are Catholic (2006 figures).
According to this chart, Louisiana, with 26.1 percent Catholic residents, is only #12 on the list of "most Catholic" states (based on pre-Katrina 2005 population figures):
A question that really begs to be asked is, why are at least 8 of the top 10 "most Catholic" states on the list controlled or dominated by liberal, pro-abort (not to mention corrupt) Democrats?
I can only imagine St. Peter's verdict on our betters' male-of-the-bovine-species-feces rationals for advancing untrammeled mass exterminations of millions of unborn babies; ESCR; gay marriage; and public schools' immoral brainwashing of a hundred million American youth.
We can pray for them. As long as they live there is the chance they may come to a better mind that the sanctity of human life is more vital than the secular human, progressive agenda, i.e., socialism (which is mass brigandage).
These are the teachings of the Popes, including the current Pope who promulgated a list of four non-negotiables which were wilfully ignored by 54% of catholics, including bishops.
Kmiec was named ambassador to Malta. He thought he'd get the Vatican . . . [heh] I think Malta is the most Catholic nation on the planet, and the Maltese should have turned him away.
"Any thoughts on if the restrictions will be found Constitutional? Not being negative, just don't know."
The restrictions are not contrary to the statues written into law, so there is no reason it would be challenged in court.
I wholeheartedly agree with Michael on this — more states need to follow this example. Though as a native Texan, Michael could not be more wrong on what state is the greatest in the Union.
However it would be intellectually dishonest for it not to be mentioned that Louisiana's new law is not a slap-in-the-face to the federal government.
During the health care debate last year, the U.S. House adopted at the last minute a measure (the Stupak Amendment) that would prohibit any insurance plan sold in the exchanges from including policies that cover abortion, whether public (when the "public option" was on the table) or private.
In the Senate, there were not a sufficient number of pro-life votes to adopt a federal-wide policy like the Stupak Amendment to ban abortion in the exchanges. The vote on such an amendment only garnered 38 Republican votes and 7 Democrats. The final compromise (because Senator Nelson did not hold out) was that each state would be allowed to enact an abortion ban in its exchanges as well as opt to ban abortion in any private insurance plan sold in the state period (which was already existing law; it was illegal to sell abortion as a primary benefit in any plan in Missouri prior to the health care debate).
This law that is on the brink of passage in Louisiana has already passed in Tennessee and is the law. In other words, the state legislatures are merely acting within the frame of "ObamaCare" and what they are doing is acting on a provision that was explicitly written into the bill. It was known without any ambiguity before the bill passed that states were going to be able to do this. It was not some "obscure" provision (as Fox News recently put it) because I recall it (the "Senate compromise" as the NRTL termed it) being rejected by pro-life groups that insisted that the Stupak Amendment was the only acceptable option.
Quite honestly, I opposed the final bill and I think there was great reason to do so. But I am somewhat dismayed that there was so much information, mostly "talking points", both true and false, circulating that people were unaware of how actual policies would look when they materialized.
I'm not trying to take a shot at anyone here particularly. If it seems that way, I truly apologize. But I have honestly lost some trust in groups that condemned this very compromise the day it was unveiled and are now today celebrating its existence.
I suppose this was God's gift of a window, when it seemed to the pro-life mind that a door had closed when the bill passed.
That's my two cents.
I agree that this isn't a slap in the face to Obamacare.
As you point out though, states could already do this before Obamacare. I do have to give Obamacare credit if permission is explicitly written into the law (I didn't know that before). That said, I'm still uncomfortable with the money that the federal government does pay when states don't ban abortion in the exchange.
My feeling is that Louisiana has a much higher number of practicing and/or orthodox Catholics. Why Louisiana has retained this while many of the states in the list have more secular versions of Catholicism is an interesting question, though I imagine Louisiana's culture (Acadiana for example) has done much to retain it.
"My feeling is that Louisiana has a much higher number of practicing and/or orthodox Catholics"
I suspect the active Catholic culture of New Orleans and Cajun country has a lot to do with this. However, there was an equally active Catholic culture among the Irish in New York and Boston, among French Canadians in New England, and among Italians, Poles, and other ethnic groups in Chicago, Philly, Milwaukee, etc.
One explanation I have read is that Louisiana lost a lot of its reliably Democratic voters after Katrina, which enabled more conservatives and Republicans like Gov. Bobby Jindal to be elected. It pains me to suggest this, but perhaps Louisiana has actually become LESS Catholic and more evangelical Protestant since Katrina and that is why pro-life measures are moving more quickly?
Even though it is written into statute, can't the statute be declared unconstitutional?

It pains me to suggest this, but perhaps Louisiana has actually become LESS Catholic and more evangelical Protestant since Katrina and that is why pro-life measures are moving more quickly?
Bobby Jindal is Catholic and almost beat Blanco the first time he ran for governor (when he came out of nowhere), then spent the 4 years in between courting the Protestant North Louisiana by convincing them he wasn't crazy (and not a Muslim, which seemed to be a problem up there). So it's not Jindal needed a dramatic change via Katrina to win.
The bulk of the population loss in Louisiana was African-American (from what we can tell). Most of that was probably Protestant, as the majority of the African-american community is Protestant. We also had an influx of immigrants who came looking for the construction jobs (we're not sure how many of them are still around or whether they moved on), but that would be a more Catholic influx. So if anything, Louisiana may have become more Catholic rather than Protestant.
It's also worth noting that at this point, the only prominent pro-abortion politicians are the Landrieus (Sen. Mary and Mayor of New Orleans Mitch) which has for a long time been the most prominent political family in the state. This means that across both Protestant North Louisiana and Catholic South Louisiana, most of the politicians are pro-life. That might change when the New Orleans votes out Cao and puts in an African-American democrat but both Protestants and Catholics seem to be strongly united on the pro-life side of the abortion issue.
"Even though it is written into statute, can't the statute be declared unconstitutional?"
I am not a constitutional law scholar, but I don't see any reason it should be overturned in court — and if it were challenged, I think we (pro-lifers) would have a pretty good case.
States do not make it illegal for private insurance to sell abortion coverage, but states can and do regulate how they offer it. For example, in Missouri before the health care debate it was illegal to sell abortion as a primary benefit in any private insurance policy — it always had to be a "rider" or supplemental policy that is bought in addition to any health plan, paid for in a strictly separate manner. The goal was to protect the conscience of other citizens in the state so that they would not be directly or indirectly subsidizing abortion by funding a risk pool that covers such an evil.
In the exchanges, it would have the same effect — no insurance company could sell abortion as a primary benefit, but if someone opted to have abortion coverage, they would have to purchase a "rider" with their own funds on top of the comprehensive plan they bought into. This was precisely what the Stupak language would have done at the national level. Obviously we did not get that in the Senate, so the best bet (given that the bill passed) is to have each state pass Stupak-like legislation.
This issue, in effect, is very similar to the Medicaid problem. Under the Hyde Amendment, federal dollars cannot be used to subsidize abortions through Medicaid. But Medicaid is a joint federal-state program. 32 states follow the federal government's initiative and don't fund abortion except for the three infamous exceptions. However, 17 states use state funds — and I'm not assure about the accounting methods and how it is kept, if it is at all, separate from federal funds — to cover all "medically necessary" abortions, which really means any and all abortions.
So this legislation, though very imperfect, has brought the abortion fight back to the states and it is at the state level, by and large, that pro-life gains occur the most.
We should count our blessings.

Lady Gaga's Wild Weekend: DADT and Paris Drama
It was a weekend chock full of excitement and drama for Lady Gaga.
The eccentric songstress was in Europe on tour, and though she was overseas, Gaga took the time on Saturday to send her thoughts back home following the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law for the nation's military. Gaga snapped a pic of herself holding a "Full equality" sign, saying on Twitter:
Can't hold back the tears+pride. We did it!i Our voice was heard + today the Senate REPEALED DADT. A triumph for equality after 17 YEARS. Today I am so proud to be American. I wish I was home so I could throw a Parade.
As exciting as the news may have been to Gaga, it was only a matter of time until a series of downers rained on her parade.
As her massive tour caravan approached Paris, French authorities held the 28-truck envoy for more than a day, causing the Paris concert to be canceled. Even worse, two members of Lady Gaga's crew were arrested. A condensed bundle of Tweets from Gaga explains:
All 28 of my trucks for the Monsterball were detained by the French government going on over 26 hrs, 2 of my employees were arrested trying … to get into Paris so we could perform. I am furious and devasted, its unfair to my fans and to me … Devastated … I asked if I could do a stripped version of show, but there would be no sound or power source, its all been detained. I'm so sorry,angry+sad
The nixed Sunday show will be made up on Tuesday, and Gaga tweeted that she's going to give fans "the nite of ure life."

Shonen Knife is often compared to the Ramones, but they're capable of a lot more diversity and texture in their compositions, even if the Ramones influence is pretty clear. The fact that they barely have a grasp on the English language, and that the majority of their songs are about animals and food, make them a breath of fresh air in a sea of musicians who take themselves way too seriously. Most of the songs here are re-recorded versions of older songs, but this album shows a remarkable improvement in musicianship that benefits from the stronger production. Although it's more pop than punk, there are power chords galore to satisfy the rocker in you, and rarely is there a song without an interesting hook or break or syncopation to keep things interesting. The guitars are pretty beefy, too. There are references to all sorts of music history - Motown in "Burning Farm", metal on "Antonio Baka Guy", "Black Bass" is reminiscent of The Moody Blues, even. All in all, there's something for everyone, unless you're one of the ones who takes things too seriously. They aren't rewriting the riff book, but they aren't afraid to sound like themselves or, more importantly, to flat out rock.
Lyrics — 9
Although the riffs are creative and often brilliant, it's the lyrics that will wiggle into your brain and stay there, even though they sound like they could have been written by a 3rd grader. Hearing Naoko Yamano sing with such excitement about jelly beans, riding bicycles, and insect-collecting friends is like a ray of candy coated sunshine reflected from a unicorns silver horn. In "Bear Up Bison", the ecology song, she sings "He has the right to live, though he's I'll shaped! He's on the way to/ Extinction/ We only want what's best for him!" Trust me, it's much funnier when you hear it. The fore-mentioned "Black Bass" must be heard to be believed, making catching a fish sound like a profound spiritual experience. Hilarious. And once you hear "Flying Jelly Attack", you'll never get it out of your head. For gals with a VERY slippery grasp of English, they seem to always come up with a perfect lyric.
Overall Impression — 8
They certainly don't have the out-of-control fury of their Japanese brothers Guitar Wolf, but they're a lot more rocking than any J-Pop. There isn't a bad song on the album. "Twist Barbie" is the most obviously Ramones influenced, and actually one of the least impressive. When they play stereotypical Chinese music in "Ah, Singapore", you get the feeling that even the Chinese couldn't be offended. It's just a sincere desire to capture the mood of the place, and it succeeds like crazy. That's the key. There's nothing artificial about the band, in their playing, lyrics, or image. Just three girls who always seem to be as surprised as they are ecstatic to be making records. Their enthusiasm is contagious. So is this album. Check it out.

Schlumberger Profit Jumps on Middle East, Asia Growth
Schlumberger Ltd. said its first-quarter earnings rose 26% as the oil-field services company's revenue benefited from growth in the Middle East and Asia, as well as North America.
The company has reported strong revenue growth in recent years as ramped-up activity in areas such as Canada and the deep water U.S. Gulf of Mexico helped offset weakness in onshore North America revenue.
Schlumberger posted a profit of $1.59...

Detailed Description:
Hemiarthroplasty of the hip is standard treatment of femoral neck fractures (hip fractures). Hemiarthroplasty means replacing the hip joint with a metal prosthesis. Unipolar prostheses has a one-piece design where the hip movement occurs between the prosthesis and the acetabulum (hip socket). A bipolar prosthesis has an additional artificial joint between the two components of the prosthesis. Both treatments are clinically proven and common around the world. No clinical trial has proven benefits of one or the other prosthesis design. The investigators want to measure the differences in acetabular wear using these two prostheses, using radiostereometric measurements.

Eight inspirational residents carried the Olympic flame this weekend in what was Merton's second torch relay.
Community heroes, including two former Olympians, an Olympic hopeful, an 86-year old marathon runner and a former child of courage, were cheered on by hundreds in the Wimbledon Guardian's unofficial torch relay at an Olympic celebration at the Hub at Mitcham and Tooting FC on Saturday, July 28.
More than 150,000 lined the streets to watch the torch be carried through Merton on the 66th day of the official Olympic torch relay on Monday, July 23, by about 30 torchbearers - but not one of them was from Merton.
Both Haydon the Womble, former Olympic champion Ray Stevens and schoolgirl Jessica Maclean were selected to be torchbearers but were told to run outside of the borough, while many other deserving residents were nominated, but not selected.
So the Wimbledon Guardian invited some of Merton's most inspirational residents to take part in our own relay to give deserving residents the chance to run with an official Olympic torch in their community.
Hosted by MP for Mitcham and Morden, Siobhain McDonagh, the event featured live music, sports coaching for children and teenagers, street dancing, Zumba, an introduction to bowling for seniors as well as a barbecue, licensed bar and giant screens to watch the Olympics.
She said: "I thought it was really touching to see people from such a wide spectrum of our community take part."
Our torchbearers
Doreen Offredi , 83, from Colliers Wood, is a former St George's nurse who has raised thousands for charity having run 20 marathons.
A member of the Wimbledon Windmilers running club for the last 22 years, Mrs Offredi, who also enjoys belly dancing and Zumba, is taking part in the Great North Run in September for the Alzheimer's Society.
She said: "It was fun and it was nice to get my chance with the torch."
Lorna Boothe , 57, from Mitcham, is a former British record holder and commonwealth gold and silver medallist who competed in both the 1975 Moscow Olympics and the 1980 Montreal Olympics in the 100m hurdles and later team GB's manager for nine years acting as senior manager at the Sydney 2005 Olympics.
She said: "I have been to a few Olympics and it's just a great feeling to have it at home.
"I think the [relay] was very good for the community as it gives awareness that we have people in the community that are not only taking part in sport but volunteering."
Tremayne Gilling , 21, from Mitcham, is the son of former Olympic hurdler Lorna Boothe and third cousin of Jamaican Olympian Herb McKinley.
As the 2012 under 23 100m England champion, Tremayne is a 2016 Olympic hopeful with a personal best of 10.25s in the 100m sprint.
He said: "I wanted to run in this Olympics but it didn't happen but it's going to be great to watch as I have friends competing so it's going to inspire me to make the team in 2016."
Jessica Maclean , 14, from Wimbledon Chase was one of the few Merton residents selected to run with the official Olympic torch, albeit in Lewisham.
She was nominated by a friend for her commitment to sport, despite having suffered from a long term heart condition and scoliosis of the spine forcing her to wear a back brace daily.
She is due to have a major spinal operation later this year but is currently captain of her school's hockey team, a member of the under 15 Wimbledon AFC football team and plays tennis and athletics.
Ray Stevens , 49, is a former Olympian who took home a silver medal at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona and has run his own studio in Wimbledon for the last five years.
He said: "I think it's good for the community and enhances the mood that everyone's getting into with the Olympics.
"Everyone saw the Olympic torch going onto the stadium so we are just reminding people that there are torchbearers in the community."
Laura Brennan-Probets , from Morden, was given just five days to live after being diagnosed with spina bifida at birth but has since celebrated her 30th birthday. Despite being confined to a wheelchair, Miss Brennan Probets has been abseiling, caving and enjoys ten pin bowling, swimming and Boccia and has been called a "wonderful inspiration" by her aunt who nominated her to take part.
She said: "It was nice to take part.
"I have been excited for days and haven't shut up about it."
Roger Ferreol took part in the relay on behalf of the Mitcham Filipino-British Association, a non-profit community-based organisation representing a cross-section of the Mitcham community.
The group has worked closely with organisers of the Mitcham Festival and The Age Concern in the past to bring the community together.
Dean Parsons , 38 from Morden, the man behind Wimbledon AFC mascot Haydon the Womble, carried the official torch in Sutton last week.
Over the last five years, Mr Parsons has attended countless charity events, football games and community days.
He said: "The people that were chosen to be torchbearers are from Merton for what they have individually done in Merton.
"I live in Morden so it's an honour to come along to do this and give a bit back to the community."

A forced eviction comes as the result of going to court to evict a tenant for non payment of rent.
If the Judge finds for the plaintiff (landlord), Georgia law allows the tenant seven days to move.
What happens on the eighth day if the tenant has not moved? Here is where it gets tricky.
When the landlord receives a judgement in his favor he will then need to get a writ of possession. The writ costs about $25 (depending on the county). The writ is signed by the Judge and submitted to the Sheriff's Department on or about the seventh day from the date of the judgement.
Contact the Sheriff's Department to ensure they received the signed writ and schedule an appointment to meet the Sheriff at the home.
In addition to the Sheriff, you should have two additional vendors at the location.
1) Locksmith – I highly recommend changing all locks
2) Moving Company – Hire a mover specializing in forced evictions. You must have four movers for the job. The reason for four? You want to get in the home and
the furniture moved as quickly as possible to avoid any possible confrontation with the tenant.
The furniture will be moved to the curb where it must remain or what is left after being picked over by neighbors. Under no circumstances do you want to take any of the belongings.
Twenty four hours later you can retain a junk company or similar vendor to come and haul away the junk.
Are we having fun yet?
You get to do the whole process over with a new tenant

The actor hopes his friends will stop worrying about him as he has been reported having a trouble in his marriage, stating 'There's nothing (wrong). We have a really great, beautiful relationship.'
Actor David Arquette is baffled by reports suggesting his 11-year marriage to Courteney Cox is in trouble, insisting they have a "beautiful relationship". The stars met on the set of the original "Scream" horror movie and went on to wed and have a daughter, Coco, together.
The couple has been dogged by rumors of an impending split in recent weeks, but Arquette is adamant there is no truth to the reports and he wants his friends to stop worrying. He tells People, "It turns up in the tabloids and your friends start calling you like there's a problem. Like, they say, 'If you need to talk...,' Hey, we don't need to talk. There's nothing (wrong). We have a really great, beautiful relationship."
Arquette insists no relationship is easy, but he's convinced the key to his successful marriage is communication, saying "Whenever things come up, we deal with them. We communicate. I would never do anything to jeopardize our relationship, you know what I mean. I'm committed, and we're honest with each other... Relationships take a lot of work."
"We respect each other, care for each other and love each other. And I feel blessed that she's my wife and that we have an amazing family."
The couple celebrated its 11th wedding anniversary on Saturday, June 12 with a family outing and a memorable dinner. He says, "In the daytime we went to Disneyland, and in the evening we had a beautiful dinner. We ate exactly what we ate when we got married, steak and lobster."

Allocative Efficiency In A Traditional Orissan Agriculture: A Linear Programming Approach
The present paper is a humble attempt to test the allocative efficiency of the farmers in a traditional Orissan agriculture system in terms of resource-use and crop selection. While examining their allocative efficiency it is noted that the rational farmers are not necessarily efficient farmers. The farmers in the sample area are found to be rational in taking production decisions and efficient in the selection of crops and allocation of land in obtaining maximum possible outputs with the given resource constraints. However, they have been misutilizing their surplus non-hired labour and operating at the low level of efficiency due to some hurdles such as inadequate working capital, irrigation water and lack of embankments on the rivers. If these hurdles are removed, they would be able to perform at their highest level of efficiency.

No, Just No: Teens Now "Proposing" For Prom
The New York Post, which, granted, pulls complete bullshit out of their ass, reports on the apparent trend of ever-more-elaborate "prom proposals." One kid asked his date over the school PA system, another brought a message of cupcakes to the classroom spelling out "P R O M ?", and yet another guy asked his girlfriend to prom on top of a gorgeous bridge in Florence, Italy. Let me repeat: his girlfriend. Like, the person who already had good reason to assume she would be his date to prom. Yankee Stadium also said seven kids so far this year have rented out the centerfield videoboard for $100 each to ask someone to prom; other (insane) kids are renting plane banners.
Am I surprised promposals are becoming a "thing"? In an age where men fake plane crashes, pretend to be dead, or enlist Conan O'Brien in their marriage proposals, no, I am not surprised at all. Certain elements of our culture have created people with a seemingly boundless desire to humiliate loved ones/make everyone around them uncomfortable and apparently they're only getting younger: one Long Island high school student told the Post that promposals are almost as big as prom. I can't understand why, other than the desperate need to draw attention to oneself. And, indeed, the Post fingered an increasingly narcissistic culture (i.e. making it about you and not the person being asked) as one of the reasons promposals are on the rise.
Back when The Frisky staff was in high school, an invitation to prom could come from a fella riding atop of a stegasaurus or chiseled on the wall of a cave. That's if there was an invitation from a fella at all. Sometimes we just went with our girls, or skipped prom all together. Sigh, kids these days …

The Palmer Coolum Resort withdrew its offer to host the Australian PGA Championship because a deal could not be struck on terms that suited the resort's commercial interests, its chief says.
"It was a decision made purely on commercial terms," resort general manager Bill Schoch said.
"The event had been here for 11 years under a deal with the previous managers. It suited them."
PGA chief executive officer Brian Thorburn said it was with considerable regret that the tournament would move on.
"Nothing is forever. We had 12 wonderful years with the championship at Coolum. The community embraced it and the players loved it," he said.

Odd Collection of Christmas Ornaments Inspires Artist
Message is to Celebrate Differences and Focus on Christ.....
"The central theme that flows through the story is about Jesus and His message of love," Jurinich said. The idea for The Christmas Odd Box came to her one year while putting away her Christmas decorations. As she placed the box lid on her collection of "odd" ornaments, she said aloud, "you guys be good in there." "They were all odd, and I meant for them to be good to each other," Jurinich said. "I was thinking about how the box imitated the world we live in, all of us being so different."
A native of Zadar, Coratia, Jurinich arrived in the United States with her family in 1958 and settled in New York. She attended art school and became a prominent artist. Jurinich has received numerous awards and accolades for her work, which is exhibited in museums and galleries in New York as well as internationally. An art instructor for many years, Jurinich also has illustrated several children's books and a cookbook, which she created with her husband, Giampaolo.
"I'm a painter. I never really thought of myself as an author," she said. But, she kept getting little messages that she needed to write The Christmas Odd Box. Naturally, the talented and admired artist created exquisitely illustrated whimsical characters to tell the story of The Christmas Odd Box, now available through Halo Publishing International.
"This book is sure to spark the imagination and invite the young reader to contemplate Jesus' message that we love one another," said Publisher Lisa Umina. "Jurinich created a beautiful, original and insightful book that is truly a unique piece of art."
Jurinich said it was a relentless idea that was interrupted numerous times by her daily life, being a painter, a teacher, a wife, raising two sons and caring for her mother. "But there was always a strong determination to bring this book to fruition." She wants Christians to focus on Christ, especially when they celebrate Christmas.

We all have a part in creating safe, enjoyable trail experiences. That means sharing the trail and knowing your responsibilities as a trail user.
Travel at a safe speed. Be especially careful when visibility is limited.
Communicate with other trail users. Let others know if your horse is safe to pass.
Don't ride in the mud. If the trail is muddy, try to use an alternate trail. Deep hoof prints make it difficult for others to use the trail.
Listen for and be aware of other trail users and yield with care to equestrians, remaining visible. Horses do not like surprises.Keep your dog on a leash and under control at all times. The only area where dogs are permitted off leash in Open Space is at the Elk Meadow Park Dog Off-Leash Area.Avoid stepping off trails.
Yield to all other trail users. Downhill riders should yield to uphill traffic. Anticipate other trail users around corners and blind spots and be prepared to stop and pass safely.Pass with care and alert other users in advance with a vocal warning.
Keep your bike under control and travel at a safe speed.
Always wear a safety helmet.
Don't ride in the mud or on trails where ruts can be created. Try to use an alternate trail. Skidding and sliding around turns damages the trail.
County ordinance requires that dogs be on a leash. Responsible bicyclists will not ride with dogs, since this can be dangerous.

The slaying of a Midway High School classroom rabbit hasn't deterred students.
Since the animal's violent demise was reported Thursday, students had brought in three replacement bunnies to Whitney Moore's agriculture classroom by week's end.
Students busied themselves by playing and petting the replacement rabbits — a gray bunny, and two white ones with black-tipped ears.
Moore said the class rabbit that was killed had belonged to a student with special needs.
Greg Leffew has been Rockwood city judge for several years, but now he's taking on a different role.
Rockwood City Council last week unanimously approved him as city attorney, filling the void left by the death of Elmer Rich late last month.
"I've known Mr. Leffew ever since he started his business as an attorney," council member Mike Freeman said. "I think he'll do a great job as city attorney."
Holocaust Remembrance Day is Thursday, April 19, and Nancy Miller's fifth-grade after-school class at Ridge View Elementary is doing something to remember the 6 million people murdered during Nazi Germany's systematic persecution of Jewish people and others across Europe.
Miller asked Rockwood City Council to approve a proclamation last week declaring April 15-22 as Days of Remembrance. They will have a ceremony at Rockwood's Homecoming Park on Rockwood Street at 6 p.m. Thursday to remember the victims and liberators.
After placing a request for in-lieu-of-tax payments from the county on its agenda at an April work session, Kingston City Council members let the motion die on the vine when it came time a for a vote on the issue April 10.
Council members decided on April 3 to place a letter on the April 10 full council agenda seeking in-lieu-of-tax payments for county facilities on city commercial property.
Such payments involve voluntary fees paid from one governmental entity to another to make up for lost tax revenue.
Roane County Animal Control Director John Griffin said he didn't expect any charges to be filed in the killing of a class rabbit at Midway High School because no students would come forward and state what happened.
A story in Friday's print edition may have caused some confusion because it included conflicting comments from Griffin made during different stages of the investigation.
Avery Trace Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution recently had its annual genealogy workshop.
Materials were given to each individual attending, and genealogy experts Shirley Smith and Marcia Pickel discussed resources for researching family history. Among them was the recently released 1940 U.S. Census records.
Roane County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Tim Phillips and Deputy Wes Stooksbury traveled to Phoenix last week.
The two lawmen weren't there to sightsee, however. They went to pick up a prisoner from one of the jails in Maricopa County, Ariz.
James. A. Tiegs was wanted in Roane County for a sexual offender registration violation and aggravated sexual battery.
"We flew out Wednesday," Phillips said. "Stayed the night, got up and went and got our prisoner and flew back."
Zachery Allen Collins managed to elude police on April 2. He wasn't so lucky last Wednesday.
According to a Roane County Sheriff's Office Incident report, officers to went to 937 Post Oak Valley Road to arrest Collins on outstanding warrants for theft, reckless driving, reckless endangerment and evading arrest.
Harriman Police Department has gotten a lot of use out of Dugan, the sweet-natured and proficient narcotic dog.
"He's been with the police department for about 11 years," said Police Chief Randy Heidle.
The department recently retired Dugan and is getting a new $10,000 dog with the help of K9s4Cops, a Texas nonprofit that assists police departments with funding for police dogs.
Heidle said he knew it was about time to retire Dugan, who was born in 2001.

The Queensland Liberal National Party is considering a "royalties for regions" policy funded from gas royalties in a bid to counter the Bligh government's proposed $1.8 billion Queensland Education Trust.
As Premier
The Bligh government's trust announcement has taken some of the wind out of the LNP's own plans.
Ms Bligh plans either individual accounts of up to $9500 for students or an overall annual amount for education initiatives.
Mr Newman said yesterday he backed the idea of a sovereign wealth fund to "save for a rainy day" but did not indicate how the royalties in his fund would be spent.
The LNP is close to releasing its own "royalties for regions" policy that will tap into the discontent in some regional communities.
At least one senior LNP member has visited WA recently to look at the Barnett fund, under which about 25 per cent of royalties are spent in rural communities each year.
Mr Newman said the LNP was already committed to a "roads to resources" policy, which he said was "essentially a component of a royalties for regions strategy".
"We will be putting money back into the areas where the resources are coming out," he said recently. "The LNP party platform is very supportive of the royalties for regions."
The Bligh trust, funded from 50 per cent of LNG royalties once the budget returned to surplus in 2015-16, was tentatively backed by the education sector yesterday.
But CFMEU Queensland secretary
"It ignores the serious policy challenges we [need to] confront if we are going to get the next mining boom right," Mr Valery said.

text: Culture 5 February 2001 Herculean labour The Hesperides Tree Nicholas Mosley Secker & Warburg, 312pp, 15.99 ISBN 0436205483 Sign up for our weekly email * In Greek mythology, the Hesperides tree, or Tree of Life, bore the golden apples that Heracles had to obtain as his 11th labour. The apples were closely guarded by the daughters of Atlas and by a dragon entwined around the trunk of the tree. The answers to the fundamental questions preoccupying the characters in Nicholas Mosley's religious parable are just as closely guarded. Whereas Heracles was famed for his enormous strength, Mosley uses a vulnerable 18-year-old boy with a life-threatening illness to try to discover the answers to the secrets of life, and to why he seems destined to die prematurely. The Tree of Life has been transported, in this elliptical work, to a rocky outcrop off the west coast of Ireland, a wildlife station from where biologists can study birds that appear to be mutating at a rapid rate. The boy, who considers himself to be a mutant because of his illness, a congenital skull weakness, is drawn to the island, which, in the Dark Ages, was used as a sanctuary by monks escaping persecution. The novel turns on a love affair between the hero and a local sculptress called Julie, who shares his quest for knowledge. Their relationship is conducted with a kind of telepathy, such is the strength of their mutual connection. Other relationships in the book follow similar patterns, where coincidence and chance meetings appear to have been preordained. Sex is portrayed throughout as naive and childlike, and portentous reference is made to Adam and Eve. When the couple have been on the island for some time, they tritely ask: "If we made love, might we not lose paradise?" The hero allows himself to be carried along with the flow of events, putting his faith in the idea that, as long as he doesn't question what is happening, it will lead him to the ultimate answers. "God doesn't tell you what to do does he? You just notice, or you do not, that things happen apparently naturally." The novel becomes more explicitly religious - and more obscure - as the real and unreal seem to merge. The vulnerable hero's computer-obsessed friend, Edward, even states that "reality is nonsense", to which one is tempted to say: "Go on, mate, pull the other one." Still, for all its wilful obscurity and opaque sermonising, The Hesperides Tree is a challenging and unusual book, a return to form for Nicholas Mosley - the son of the infamous black-shirted fascist, Oswald - who remains one of the most neglected novelists in Britain.
