Following a series of online battle which leads Lily Allen to post unflattering photo of Courtney Love, the 'Smile' hitmaker has apologized to fans for her 'juvenile musing'.
Lily Allen has apologized to fans for posting a mean-spirited snapshot of music nemesis Courtney Love on her Twitter page. Allen fired up the rock and pop pair's ongoing online feud on Monday, March 1 by posting the unflattering photo of Love online, and instantly faced a barrage of complaints from followers.
Love responded to the twitpic by posting her own photo find - a picture of Allen onstage looking anything but glamorous. And she followed that with a series of angry tweets aimed at the "Smile" singer.
In one, she raged, "Your really a brat (sic), is there anyone who you haven't started a meaningless strop with? The night you did all the blow on earth... the night you home invaded me did all the blow I've ever seen in my home wouldn't leave and blamed ME for yr s**t show? thighs? (sic)"
And now Allen has apologized for posting the shot with a tweet stating, "Sorry, that was mean. Enuff (sic) of these juvenile musings, I should never have risen to the bait. Silly lily."

Among the leading health issues, most people automatically think of breast cancer as the No. 1 killer for women.
But according to Ahwatukee Foothills physician Dr. Rick Swearingen, as well as recent studies, heart disease has not only taken the No. 1 spot as the leading causes of death in men, but also for women.
"It's mind-boggling that about one in three women will die of heart disease," said Swearingen of the statistics.
Swearingen, of Ahwatukee Urgent Care, said he often has to check for heart risks in women ages 35 to 50, though he doesn't believe the amount of women being diagnosed is increasing, but rather an awareness of the disease is increasing.
"Even some physicians didn't recognize the importance of screening women in recent years," he said.
In honor of February being recognized as American Heart Month, Swearingen recommends a sort of "simple" set of tips to keep heart healthy, which include no smoking, a healthy diet, exercise, good sleep, and reducing stress.
"I think it really is that simple, we can't change our genetics but there are some of these cornerstones that help," Swearingen said.
Nearby Ahwatukee businesses and other medical offices celebrated Friday in honor of heart health awareness. Mimi's Cafe on Ray Road offered a free helping of its signature soup for those who came in wearing red. In conjunction with the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement, guests can donate throughout the month, with a $1 donation resulting in a heart-shaped tribute card to display in the restaurant. A $5 donation comes with a limited-edition red dress lapel pin, with 100 percent of all donations going directly to the American Heart Association.
Meanwhile, the dental office staff of Desert Shores Dentistry decked out in red on Feb. 1 for heart health awareness.
Swearingen said one preventative measure is equally as important as another when it comes to protecting your heart.
"You have to see your doctor routinely," he said. "People have busy lives, and I know it's hard, but even I try to take my own advice."

San Francisco Immigrant Rights Supporters Confront Racist Minutemen
Activists drown out media stunt targeting immigrant workers
original image (1776x2417)
On less then a day's notice, over 300 supporters of immigrant rights in the Bay Area came out on July 30 to confront the racist Minutemen on the steps of San Francisco's City Hall. When the ten Minutemen arrived for a scheduled press conference to challenge San Francisco's policy of sanctuary for undocumented immigrants, they found their permitted area occupied by pro-immigrant groups and individuals determined to take a stand against the scapegoating of immigrants for the U.S. economic and social problems.
Minutemen founder Jim Gilchrist was drowned out by chants of "Immigrants are here to stay, racist Minutemen go away" as he attempted to address the media. San Francisco Sheriff Department deputies and San Francisco Police Department officers escorted the Minutemen as they left.
The pro-immigrant forces were brought out by a call from La Raza Centro Legal, San Francisco Day Laborers Program and Movement for Unconditional Amnesty. Groups from the St. Peter's Housing Committee, CARECEN, Bay Area Immigrant Rights Coalition, ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), the Party for Socialism and Liberation and others mobilized people to come out to the counter protest.

Minutemen FORCED OUT! Firsthand report
In a gloriously successful counter-protest today, local minutemen were silenced by an uncontrollable roar from immigrant rights supporters.
The predominantly white upper-class minutemen were attempting to stage a press conference/protest on the steps of San Francisco city hall today at 11am. A protest was, however, already underway in expectation of their arrival.
Having paid a presumed financial cost in the hundreds of dollars, the minutemen were allocated space on the "private property" steps of city hall and were assisted by the defenders of the capital class, the members of city law enforcement.
The mass demonstration that had thus previously gathered on the steps would be physically pushed to the sidewalk, this being the only element of achievement the minutemen would gain. With police forces at their side, the minutemen unfolded banners condemning the city of its sanctuary status. This was of course incredibly ironic, given that no such enforcement has actually taken place and that the city has worked alongside Immigration and Customs Enforcement to continually violate this status and deport the immigrants it is said to be protecting.
To the educated political mind, the said sanctuary status is merely an illusionary rhetoric to pacify the pro-immigrant masses of the progressive city. Such facades are commonplace in the political arena where action seldom coincides with politician's promises. As such, the minutemen were forming to condemn a fantasy.
This fantasy of immigrant asylum was elucidated by the gathered masses this morning, who readily expressed anger and hostility toward the minutemen and the law enforcement for safe guarding the city and state's interests. This massive contradiction was easily visualized by the masses when the minutemen held out posters condemning Mayor Gavin Newsom for his protection of immigrant rights while Newsom's city law enforcement stood next to them providing protection and support.
The range of the city's interest towards anti-immigrant policies was made further evident as the protests wore on with the eventual arrest of a pro-immigrant activist. Police agents used physical aggression towards activists with the violent shoving and throwing of men and women that violated only one law: the natural law of opposing state interest. One woman was repeatedly shoved and pushed down to the sidewalk by an angry policeman after breaking her picket sign in two and throwing it to the ground.
Fortunately the protest remained in peaceful solidarity despite the arrest and physical police aggression. Non-violence and lawfulness continued to be practiced by the demonstrators.
Many agitational slogans were vocalized in unison, including "Racists Go Home!" and "Minutemen go away, immigrants are here to stay!" The chanting masses were a mixture of all races and creeds, spreading the example of justice as a non-identity politic.
Custom picket signs rallied together along with those of more formalized political groups, giving the demonstration a unique and unified character. On the more customized side were signs reading phrases such as "Where did your family come from?" Whereas the more formal signs read slogans such as "The struggle has no borders" and "Rights for ALL immigrants."
There was a blitz of media for the even, including press for channel seven which will surely put an expected right-wing slant on the demonstration. Indy media was also present though, as well as a considerable amount of unrepresented interested persons.
After nearly two hours of drumming, chanting, and rallying, the minutemen seemed to reach a consensus on the futility of their demonstration. They had not managed to speak a single word in their defense (or offense) over the vocalized masses of chanting and as such their financial and timely investments in gathering was an obvious waste of both the former and the later.
The perseverance of political solidarity along fighting for equality had rendered the minutemen presence a useless, if not positively agitational gesture for expanding the left. While there can and will be pushback from such a demonstration there can be no doubt that the people are mobilizing for change and nothing seems to slow the movement of the awakening and increasingly political masses.

This year, Georgetown is offering students three different alternative spring break trips. The three locations are Camden, N.J.; Louisa, Ky.; and Ecuador. The Camden trip has about 10 students signed up, but will include some faculty members as well. This group will work alongside Urban Promise, an organization that helps inner city kids grow up in a Christian environment with in-school and after school events. Bruce Main, along with his wife, leads Urban Promise, which holds summer internships in Camden and Honduras for those seeking further time in mission work (for more information go to: http://www.urbanpromiseusa.org/).
The students going to Camden for this spring trip have been holding weekly meetings to prepare for their upcoming journey. These meetings entail the basic strategies for each mission trip – to come with an open mind and an open heart. Also, be flexible! Those participating in missions are there to work for the good of others, not to complain when the job is not being done fast enough. Joel Reihmer, a junior, has been on the Camden trip before. His advice: always keep a smile on your face.
Joel Reihmer's time in Camden was "just awesome." His favorite memories include playing ultimate Frisbee during down time and getting to play with some amazing kids. Camden is a troubled city, so just being a friend to these kids can help in numerous ways. Reihmer's first time to Camden was a little scary at first, but this time he knows the environment and has no apprehension about doing it again. "Camden's heading in a positive direction, and when people have that mindset it makes it into a reality quicker. Trips like this really help."
The newest trip added to the list is to Louisa, Ky. Around 15 students will spend their time there, helping rehabilitate Appalachia.Within four to five days, students will assist with home repairs for the community, including installing dry wall and sheet rock and doing basic repairs. Many local churches co-sponsor this trip, including the Newman Center and Campus Ministries.
The final trip is to Ecuador. Ecuador will be inhabited with 10 Georgetown students to do a number of projects, not all of which are decided yet. As spring break gets closer, more information is to come.
For those going on an alternative spring break trip, the experience is invaluable. Georgetown students are highly encouraged to look into short-term missions, even if they are not through the college. Explore an area outside of your comfort zone, or stay local and try to improve the community in which we live. Either way, there is plenty of work that can be done. We need to be a part of the solution, not the problem.
Previous spring break mission trips have gone to places like Mission Arlington, in Arlington, Texas, New Orleans, La. and the Elizabeth Place in Georgetown. New trips can be initiated by students, so if you know a place in need, speak up.

The actress claims she has a doll from the set of 'Ugly Betty', saying 'They look nothing like me, but it's more of a joke than anything.'
Actress Yaya DaCosta has committed to collecting her doll and action-figure likenesses from the film and TV projects she's involved with. The "Ugly Betty" star can't wait to get her hands on her "Tron Legacy" doll, so she can add it to her small collection of toys.
She says, "In 'Tron', I play one of the Sirens in the beginning of the film... and we look like rubber action figures. They actually made an action figure of my character but I don't have it yet. I'm gonna get it and it's awesome. I'll just put it on my shelf of action figures."
"I actually have a doll from the set of 'Ugly Betty' - as Vanessa Williams' daughter - so I think I'm gonna accumulate these dolls of characters. They look nothing like me, but it's more of a joke than anything."

In my opinion, a recent letter to the Record-Courier written by Frederick G. Walz about marriage was nothing more than parroting of right-wing, religious propaganda. Within his letter, Mr. Walz bares his narrow world view by citing both an article from The Family Research Council and a book in defense of heterosexual marriage. The article even promotes the myth that women are safer within the culture of marriage. According to the National Council on Child Abuse and Family Violence, 3 to 4 million women in the United States are abused, mainly by their marriage partner. In addition, the writer says that he only believes in the "natural family," thereby admitting that he finds adoption unacceptable.
As a Christian, I choose to accept that each of us is wonderfully and beautifully made as God intended. Therefore, to dismiss the right of homosexuals to marry is to deny The Creator's gift of the fullness of His love and the right to share that love with ones intended. There is no God-created edict as to what marriage ought to be, but love is, was and always will be a consistent theme throughout all versions of religious scripture. Having received the gift of God's love, we must live into the following words as we learn to accept that gay marriage is no less than The Creator's call to be tolerant, respectful and loving toward each and every creature within His glorious realm:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:4-13)

The Chinese Communist Party has warned officials to combat "dangerous" Western values and other perceived ideological threats, according to accounts of a directive that analysts said reflects the top leader Xi Jinping's determination to preserve top-down political control even as he considers economic liberalisation.
The warning emerged when Chinese news websites carried accounts from local party committees describing a directive from the Central Committee General Office, the administrative engine of the party leadership under Mr Xi.
The central document, "Concerning the situation in the ideological sphere", has not been openly published, and most references to it disappeared from Chinese news and government websites by Monday afternoon, apparently reflecting censors' skittishness about publicising such warnings. But what did come to light in the local summaries exuded anxiety about the party's grip on opinion.
Mr Xi has strengthened national cohesiveness since he became general secretary in November, said a summary of a party organization meeting last week of the Commission of Urban-Rural Development of Chongqing, a municipality in south-west China.
"At the same time, the central leadership has made a thorough analysis of and shown a staunch stance toward seven serious problems in the ideological sphere that merit attention, giving a clearer understanding of the sharpness and complexity of struggle in the ideological sphere," said the account, which later disappeared from the commission's website.
The Chinese government has confronted demands for democratic reform from activists emboldened by Mr Xi's vows to respect the law. In recent days, some activists have cited rumours that the party issued a warning against seven ideas that are considered anathema, including media freedom and judicial independence. But the official summaries did not include such language.
Officials must "fully understand the dangers posed by views and theories advocated by the West," said the account from Chongqing, which said they must "cut off at the source channels for disseminating erroneous currents of thought".
"Strengthen management of the internet, enhance guidance of opinion, purify the environment on the internet, give no opportunities that lawless elements can seize on," it said.
Reports on other local party committee websites in north-east and south-west China also described the directive, although in less detail.
The demands for ideological conformity show that Mr Xi and other leaders want to inoculate the public from any expectations of major political liberalisation, even as they explore loosening some state controls over the economy, several analysts said.

Dr. John Haught, an authority on systematic theology, will deliver the annual Redding lecture at 11 a.m. Tuesday (Sept. 25) in John L. Hill Chapel. The public is invited to this free Cultural Enrichment Program event.
Haught is a Roman Catholic theologian and a retired Professor of Theology at Georgetown University. After receiving his doctorate from Catholic University of America in 1970, he taught in Georgetown's theology department through 2005, and was department chair 1990-1995.
Haught was the winner of the 2002 Owen Garrigan Award in Science and Religion and the 2004 Sophia Award for Theological Excellence. He established the Georgetown Center for the Study of Science and Religion, and is the author of twelve books, including important ones on the creation-evolution controversy, such as Deeper Than Darwin: The Prospect for Religion in the Age of Evolution, God After Darwin: A Theology of Evolution, and Responses to 101 Questions on God and Evolution.
The annual lecture is named in honor of Dr. George Walker Redding, a much loved member of the Georgetown faculty for 30 years (1943-73) who taught courses in Bible and chaired what became the Religion Department. After retiring from the College in 1973, Redding continued to teach until his death in 1989. In 1997, Georgetown College inducted the 1927 graduate into its Hall of Fame.

HOUSTON - A total of five former deputy constables were indicted by a Harris County grand jury on Tuesday.
Officials with the Harris County District Attorney's office said the charges range from theft by a public servant to tampering with documents.
Indicted were former Precinct 6 Lieutenant Mark Timmers, Precinct 4 Deputy Constable Antonio Nichols, former Precinct 3 Lieutenant Cordell Lindsey and former Precinct 3 Deputy Constables Robert Wilson and Herman Eagleton.
Investigators said the men are accused of getting paid to work off-duty security jobs for the Houston Housing Authority while on the taxpayers' time. The Housing Authority hires deputy constables to help secure housing project throughout the Houston area.
Precinct 3 officials said Lindsey was also the Housing Authority's chief fraud examiner. The Precinct 6 Constable's Office had the contract to provide security for Housing Authority complexes and sources involved in the investigation told Local 2 Investigates it was Precinct 6 officials who first noticed this problem and forwarded the findings of an internal probe to the DA's Office last year.
Sources familiar with the case said the DA's Office examined two years worth of the former deputy constables' time sheets as part of the investigation.
Before Tuesday's indictments, investigators said five other reserve and full time deputy constables were also indicted. Sources familiar with that part of the investigation said some of those charges stemmed from unauthorized criminal background checks being done on tenants living in Housing Authority complexes.
Officials at all three Constable's Precincts said all those indicted have either been terminated or resigned their positions.

Terry has an amazing amount of experience and I was really impressed with his attention to detail and knowledge of the Court system. I came to him with a real estate issue and I felt like we were being bullied. Mr. McCarthy stood up for my rights and after going to trial we got a really one sided ruling and the judge actually berated the other attorney and client and forced them to pay all of my legal fees.

I went to Mr. McCarthy for a divorce after another attorney had over billed me in my opinion and gotten me nowhere in my case. He was able to clean up the mess made by my first attorney and his billing was much more reasonable. There was not a single time that I called or emailed without hearing back from Mr. McCarthy or one of the other attorney's at his firm within the day

my ex wife an i were in a contentious custody battle. before meeting with mr. mccarhty i had another lawyer( who will remain nameless) handle my case, and in my opinion blew it badly. Mr. McCarthy and his team got me a very fair visitation schedule and attorney's fees. throughout the ordeal they kept me informed and helped keep me calm in a tough time. i felt better knowing that i has such a professional, agressive, and courteous group of people in my corner.

Having less than desirable experiences with lawyers in the past, I was expecting the same thing this go around. Terrence, or Terry, was recommended to me by a co-worker, and he was nothing short of surprising. He explained the situation to me in terms I could handle, kept me abreast on any developments, and was just good about maintaining an overall correspondence. I would recommend Terry in the future and cannot sing his praises enough!

Terry McCarthy and his son Michael handled my divorce better then I could have ever imagined. It's obviously not a fun time going through one, especially when your wife is trying to take you for everything you have. I was able to hold onto many of my assets and ended up paying a fair alimony.
I've used various lawyers for different things over the years and never have I experienced this kind of client attention and quality assistance. They made everything very clear to me so I always knew exactly what was going on. I'd recommend their services to anyone.
Terry has helped many people and has a sterling reputation in the community. Like father,like son as Michael is extremely professional and seems to be on track to maybe one day fill his fathers shoes. They make a great team and helped me immensely.

Mr. McCarthy and his team settled the lawsuit against us. His knowledge and preparation forced the other side to realize the futility of their claim. He kept my wife and I well informed, especially when it was crunch time. He and his entire law office were professional and responsive. Without going into detail, I can assure whoever is reading my review that in addition to having intelligence and experience, Mr. McCarthy is honest, ethical, and anxious to do the right thing. We are very grateful!

I recently retained McCarthy & Causseaux to set up a trust for my grandchildren and am very satisfied with the outcome. They worked with me to craft exactly what I wanted, were responsive to my inquiries, and gave me accurate advice. It is comforting to know that once I pass I will still be able to provide for my loving grandchildren.
I would definitely go back to McCarthy and Causseaux and I recommend them to anyone who wants peace of mind regarding their estate.

Mr. McCarthy was very agressive representing my interests. I came to him for help at the last minute regarding a custody issue. He and his staff worked tirelessly to get up to speed and obtained a result that I never imagined possible. I can't reccomend his firm highly enough.

straightforward and very fair-minded.... he really made me more comfortable

Otonomy Announces Preclinical Results Supporting Intra-operative Use of OTO-201 for Common Childhood Procedure
SAN DIEGO, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Otonomy, Inc., a developer of innovative therapeutics for diseases and disorders of the ear, today announced positive results for OTO-201, a sustained release gel formulation of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin, in multiple preclinical studies evaluating the treatment of middle ear effusion (fluid) at the time of tympanostomy tube placement surgery. Approximately one million tube placement procedures are conducted each year in the U.S. with the vast majority performed in children suffering from recurrent or persistent otitis media (inflammation or infection of the middle ear). A significant portion of patients receiving tubes have middle ear effusion at the time of surgery which significantly increases their risk of post-operative complications including otorrhea (drainage) and tube occlusion. A number of clinical studies have demonstrated that administration of topical antibiotics during and immediately following tube placement surgery significantly reduces this risk. However, no antibiotic product has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this use and efficacy relies on caregiver compliance with multi-day dosing regimens. OTO-201 is a sustained release antibiotic designed for intra-operative administration by the ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeon, thereby providing a full course of treatment at the time of tube placement and eliminating the risk of compliance issues.
Preclinical study results demonstrating sustained middle ear drug exposure and efficacy of OTO-201 were presented yesterday at the 10th International Symposium on Recent Advances on Otitis Media. Data demonstrated that a single administration of OTO-201 delivered ciprofloxacin concentrations to the middle ear that were sustained for more than one week above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) required for eradication of common otitis media pathogens. Findings in an otitis media model confirmed that

So, to celebrate the upcoming season and arrival of Peter Cottontail, I did a little Spring decorating. Nothing major, but enough to brighten up our place and add a little 'spring' to my step (groan, did I really just go there?) Of course I did.
In the kitchen I added some cheer behind the sink in the form of this awesome free printable and a little Spring cyclamen.
In the family room (off the kitchen) the fireplace mantel is teeny tiny (ahem, non existent). BUT, I still added a bit of Easter to it.
I displayed a little ceramic bunny and grabbed a light pink candle from my stash. To Easterfy it further I added some pom pom fringe that I had left over from my Christmas Craft Night candle holder craft. Don't they look like little fluffy bunny tails?
Beside those is a picture of my sister Tanya. She passed away a few years ago so I always like to have her out and smiling at me.
Next to the photo I have another great free Easter printable.
I love these picture frames with the clips. I got them at Real Canadian Superstore a few years ago. The front slides out and I can easily swap out the art inside. I used them in Chace's room at our last house but I've yet to give his room any real personality (Mom guilt - it's on "the list") so for now they are up for grabs and have come in handy on my thin mantels.
Beside the bunny print I have a 'sister' candle that Tanya gave me.
In the living room we have another fireplace. This one has a larger mantel so I have a bit more flexibility here.
I went pretty simple here too and just used what I had.
On the left I used some white 'bark' vases and paired them with a pretty green glass vase/pot.
I framed yet another printable (I'm a sucker for free art).
A pretty (looking and smelling) candle sits beside this print. And I love the lid that came with. Adorable!
Last but not least is another pot/bowl. I love the subtle honey comb detailing on this one.
Another area that got a bit of Easter love is one of the end tables in the living room. I simply added some faux eggs to a glass vase and put them beside my gold tree bark lamp. Because every tree bark lamp needs a vase of fake eggs (obvs).
Back in January I shared how I decorate in the "off season" using our entry as an example. The entry table got a little bowl/platter of these eggs too!
Hippity Hoppin', Easter's on its way! Anyone else infused a little Spring or Easter at their place?
Stay in touch and follow along...

(CNSNews.com) - New Zealand's government is being challenged to justify the country's continued participation in the Kyoto Protocol after it admitted that complying with the climate change treaty will cost taxpayers about one billion NZ dollars (U.S. $714 million).
The news has rattled New Zealanders, who previously were led to believe that participating in Kyoto would earn the country millions of dollars in carbon "credits."
The admission is a blow for a left-leaning, green-friendly government, which last month announced that one of the world's first carbon tax regimes -- entailing higher prices for gas, electricity and coal -- would come into effect in 2007.
The opposition center-right National Party has called for an immediate formal review of the country's participation in Kyoto, accusing the Labor government of a major policy blunder.
"They were so intent on looking good to their socialist friends in Europe that they forgot the enormous cost to New Zealand taxpayers," National leader Don Brash told lawmakers in Wellington.
The protocol requires industrialized countries to reduce emission of CO2 and other pollutants blamed for climate change by set amounts during the 2008-2012 period. The U.S. and Australia have refused to ratify the treaty, citing economic concerns and pointing to the fact that major developing countries -- and big polluters -- such as China and India are not required to meet emission targets.
Kyoto allows for trading in carbon credits, and New Zealand, which promotes itself as a "clean, green" nation, had expected to be in a position to sell credits to heavier polluters. But revised projections show that the country will instead likely have to buy credits, at taxpayers' expense.
On Thursday, Brash said a review was needed because of the new information on the financial cost to New Zealand, and also because "there is very considerable debate about whether the enormous cost of slowing the growth of greenhouse gas emissions is worth bearing, relative to the modest reductions in temperature which such reductions might achieve."
A review was also in order, he said, because major countries were still refusing to ratify the protocol, and because there was still some debate about whether global warming was taking place - and if it was, about the role played by human activity.
Last December, Prime Minister Helen Clark said at the opening of a wind farm that "there is good money to be made from the Kyoto processes, and I am confident that many New Zealand businesses will prosper as a result."
In a boisterous debate in parliament this week, she fended off Brash's criticism, saying New Zealand had not joined Kyoto in order to make money from carbon credits, but "so that we do not freeload on other countries' efforts."
She said her earlier statement on making money from Kyoto had referred to businesses profiting from developing clean-energy technologies.
Conservative ACT Party leader Rodney Hide then asked Clark whether there was any argument that would convince her that New Zealand should dump Kyoto, or whether "look[ing] good on the world stage" was enough for her.
The prime minister responded that "New Zealand prefers to be on the side of seven of the eight G8 countries on this subject." She accused the opposition of having its Kyoto policy "written in Washington."
Clark's environment minister, Pete Hodgson, argued that "the science debate is over," pointing to a recent statement by G8 national scientific bodies that "there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring."
Nonetheless, National environment spokesman, Nick Smith, said if the party forms the next government after elections expected later this year, it would consider pulling out of the Kyoto Protocol.
"We have a reluctance for New Zealand to withdraw from agreements that have been signed because it is not good for our name internationally," Smith said. "But we now have to weigh up whether to withdraw, given the scale of this error."
In a research poll last February, 70 percent of respondents said they were aware that New Zealand was a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, and of those, 68 percent said they were in favor of the country having signed up.
ACT lawmaker Deborah Coddington, whose party opposed ratifying Kyoto, ridiculed Hodgson for spending half a million dollars in one year on a campaign to educate New Zealanders about global warming.
"It's the minister who should be educated about the effects of signing up to foreign feel-good treaties," she said.

text: Fred asked: >HEX COLORS: is #fff better than #ffffff ? No,it's worse. It is a special-case abbreviation that saves someone three keystrokes to produce code that is harder for someone else to maintain because, as in your case, they don't understand it. The designers of css clearly included the worst kind of brilliant unix/C programmers who delight in producing clever compact code that unfortunately nobody else can understand. That is probably why they were working for free on css as nobody in business could afford the consequences of employing them. He also wrote: > In two of the books I'm researching the authors call for > "RGB" designations. It would seem this would give better > reliability across platforms and monitors. This is nonsense. Hexcolours are equivalent to RGB colours, but are expressed to a different mathematical base. Because of this the css coding is different, but the values of the colours that can be obtained is the same. RGB colours, which Photoshop users would be familiar with, have 256 possible red, green, and blue values, expressed on the familiar decimal scale from 0 to 255 (computer scientists start numbering at 0). Thus the colour black is 0,0,0 and the colour white is 255,255,255. (Red is 255,0,0 etc) The hexadecimal scale is base 16, so as well as the ten digits 0-9 it employs six additional digits a-f. It is used because 256 is 16x16x16 and so each rgb colour only needs six characters to represent it. 000000 (= 00,00,00) is black and ffffff (= ff, ff, ff) is white (red is ff0000 etc). So if you use the full hex description there is a chance that you might think about what it means. He also wrote: >Will using the RGB style tag render these colors more >faithfully across platforms and monitors? No. Nothing will currently render colours faithfully across platforms and monitors. Different monitors are set/calibrated differently or have different properties, so render colours differently. Also the Mac and PC have different colour gamma settings so something that looks fine on my Mac looks too dark on a PC monitor. At one time you also had to take into consideration how many colours a monitor could display (hence the so-called, but not-in-fact, colour-safe palette, that these hex triplets were probably coined to represent for 8-bit displays), but advances in screen displays mean that this is no longer a real issue. I imagine, that as hexcolours were used initially in html when the font tag was invented, there may be browsers that do not support the RGB notation, but whether this is so , and whether it is true for css, I have no idea. However these concerns are not particularly specific to this list, and there are many sites on the web which are dedicated to colour representation. Adbobe used to have excellent material on this sort of thing. Use your Google skills.

My father was told by an Spanish historian that the name Yates was derived from the Spanish for yacht. They were called los Hombres del los Yatez, living in abandoned boats in harbors in Spain. One of their number, a price on his head, patched his boat and sailed away before he could be arrested. Following the coast of Spain, then France, he was caught in a storm and blown across the English channel to be shipwrecked on the coast of Scotland. The rest is history, or not.

Brown takes, delivers big hits in Lady Cubs' comeback win
David Campbell
, Courier Sportswriter
Wednesday, April 03, 2013 11:00 AM
HAPPY ENDING: Madison's Kaitlin Brown (top left) gets mobbed by teammates Ashleigh Poling (13), Bree Barnes and Cadie Povaleri (4) after driving in the winning run in the Lady Cubs' come-from-behind 6-5 win over New Albany on Tuesday. (Staff photos by David Campbell)

Kaitlin Brown took a nasty line drive off her chest in the sixth inning of Tuesday's softball opener at home. An inning later, Brown delivered a big hit of her own.
Brown's RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning capped a three-run rally and lifted Madison to a 6-5 win over New Albany in the Lady Cubs' season opener.
Brown also pitched all seven innings in the circle to pick up the win despite the line drive. The senior was down for several minutes but stayed in the game. But even with the injury, she was all smiles after the win.
"Oh my goodness. I'm a little sore but I'm just so excited," Brown said. "On that last one, I just went up there praying. I was like, 'All right Lord, we've got this.' I just went up. It was a great feeling."
The Cubs (1-0) fell behind twice against New Albany and rallied both times, none more dramatic than the seventh.
Trailing 5-3 entering the final frame, Madison strung together three-straight hits following a one-out error to score the win.
Bree Barnes got the rally started when she reached on an error and Cadie Povaleri followed with an infield single when her pop-up dropped in just behind the pitching rubber in between four Bulldog infielders.
Ashleigh Poling tied the game when her line drive scored Barnes. Povaleri scampered home when center fielder Jenna Fath's throw to the plate went wide and Poling ended up at third.
All that was left was for Brown to win the game - something the tall right-hander did after fouling off three pitches.
"I always do my best at-bats when it's a full count and I'm fouling them off," Brown said. "I knew that if I could get in that position, which I know isn't the best to be in, that I could handle it. I was really excited about the opportunity to just help my team out and come home with the win."
For Madison coach Tony Ralston, watching his team rally in the seventh against a quality opponent was good to see after several rebuilding seasons.
"That right there is all the work we have had for the past two or three years," Ralston said. "We've been learning to be mentally tougher. They have probably heard that from me a thousand times since this summer until now. If we can play and stay focused for seven innings we can be a good ball team."
New Albany (3-1) took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Fath opened the game with a sharp line-drive to center that hit the lip of the infield and bounced over center fielder Povaleri's head for a gift triple. She then came in on Hannah Veit's ground out.
Madison came right back with two runs in the bottom of the first. Povaleri singled, Poling reached on a fielder's choice and Brown singled to load the bases before Hannah Bickers knocked in one run with a single and Poling scored on Courtney Sonner's sacrifice fly.
An error allowed New Albany to tie the game in the third. The Bulldogs then scored twice in the fourth to go ahead 4-2.
The Cubs got a run back in the fourth when Bickers reached on a bunt single and scored on Brooklyn Smith's hard-hit single to left.
Danielle Williamson led off the sixth with a single for New Albany and an out later Brooke McCoy lashed the shot that hit Brown in the chest. Cub third baseman Smith alertly picked up the ball and forced the runner at second base and the Bulldogs were kept off the scoreboard in the inning.
New Albany got its final run in the seventh when McKenzie Gill singled and scored on Veit's RBI double. Madison then won the game in the seventh.
Brown allowed nine hits in seven innings but other than Fath's triple in the first, New Albany only got five other balls out of the infield against her. Brown struck out three and walked none.
"We've been working on keeping batters off balance and (Brown) hit her spots," Ralston said. "She did a heck of a job. She toughed one out today. She took a hard shot back up the middle and she might have come out last year or the year before. But she wasn't coming out today. She wanted to finish this game and that's what you want out of your seniors."
Brown, Povaleri, Bickers and Poling each had two hits for the Cubs while Sonner had two RBIs.
Gill took the loss for New Albany after allowing five earned runs on nine hits in six and a third innings with three strikeouts and a walk. McCoy had two hits and Veit a double to lead the Bulldogs.
Madison travels to South Ripley on Friday.
Errors take toll on Shawe
Shawe softball dropped a 25-1 decision on the road versus Lanesville on Monday night to open the 2013 season.
Shawe head coach Gary VanWye said "errors killed the Hilltoppers."
Shawe (0-1) has 10 days off before traveling to Vevay on Friday, April 12 to play Switzerland County in an Ohio River Valley Conference game at 5 p.m.

Under increasing pressure to catch up to its rivals in the reality programming genre, NBC has turned to Richard Hatch, the winner of the biggest reality hit so far, CBS's ''Survivor,'' as part of an attempt to create an American version of a British game show.
NBC has made a deal with the British Broadcasting Corporation to make two versions of ''The Weakest Link'' -- a popular, mean-spirited quiz show in which the host mocks and intimidates the contestants. One version is for syndication, the other for a prime-time play on NBC. Mr. Hatch has been selected as the host of the syndicated version.
For the prime-time version, NBC is trying out the host of the British version, Anne Robinson, who has become a star in England because of her acerbic style.
NBC will decide whether to put on the game shows based on the outcome of two pilot editions, which are being shot today in London. Mr. Hatch and Ms. Robinson appear in the pilots, using the BBC sets. Americans were flown in to serve as contestants. NBC, which is owned by General Electric, intends to bring the syndicated version to the convention of the National Association of Television Programming Executives in Las Vegas later this month.
If the prime-time pilot shows promise, NBC executives said, they could put the show on a fast track to try to get it on the air in the United States later this year.Continue reading the main story
One senior NBC executive, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, ''This is the right direction for us.'' NBC has been put on the defensive by the success of reality shows.
Mr. Hatch became a celebrity by winning ''Survivor'' on the strength of a ruthless strategy of eliminating other contestants. The central premise of ''The Weakest Link'' is that seven contestants weed themselves out to one during several rounds of questions, voting each other out in the process.
Ms. Robinson is considered crucial to the show because she deals with the contestants as a kind of stern schoolmarm, criticizing them for their inadequacies. Mr. Hatch was picked, NBC executives said, because of his testy personality.
In England, both a daily version of ''The Weakest Link'' and a weekly prime-time version on Sunday night have become enormous hits. Ms. Robinson has become closely identified with the show's catch phrase: ''You are the weakest link,'' which she delivers, usually accompanied by a curt ''goodbye'' as the contestants are eliminated.
The senior NBC executive said that NBC had concluded that ''Anne Robinson is the show.'' The executive added, ''We don't care about her British accent.''
The BBC wanted an American partner that would present the show in both syndicated and network versions, said Ben Silverman of the William Morris agency, who, with Greg Lipstone, handled the negotiations. Mr. Silverman, who has helped bring numerous reality shows to the United States, said, ''There was a huge bidding war that included a number of studios and several networks.''
The show was first noticed by Jeff Sagansky, the president of the Pax network, which is partly owned by NBC. He brought it to Ed Wilson, the head of NBC's syndication division. They took it to the NBC network.
Pax is a co-owner of the show, Mr. Sagansky said, and, because it is a partner with NBC, could use a second run of an NBC prime-time show or become the network version if NBC chose to pass on the idea.Continue reading the main story

In addition to my educational experience, I have also serve as an adjunct profession at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey (Master's level teacher education program), mentor new administrators for New Jersey Leader 2 Leader Program, along with previous basketball coaching experience at the middle, high school and Division III levels.
Before starting my educational career, I was a Division I basketball player on full scholarship at The College of William and Mary. Playing against the powerhouses of women's college basketball created a great sense of preparation, patience and teamwork, which was an incredibly formative influence that I bring everyday to my position here at Ross.This drive led me to continue on in my education to complete a Master's Degree in Special Education from Old Dominion University along with a Master's Degree and Doctorate in Administration in Widener University.
My primary concerns as principal are to always maintain the safety and security of our students and staff, and to work cooperatively with the Board of Education, staff, parents and community. I will continue to maintain our mission to facilitate the educational, social and emotional growth of all our students.
Being in this community, I know that our parents are actively involved; and together with the staff, work hard to provide our students with every opportunity to be successful. We will continue to revise curriculum to align the Common Core State Standards, as we prepare our students for the PARCC assessments in both Mathematics and English Language Arts this spring.
I look forward to working with all of you in the coming year here at the amazing Ross School! I am honored to be a part of the amazing Margate Community.

A 57-year-old woman and her 25-year-old son were killed in a traffic accident at the Brur Hayil junction in the south of Israel on Sunday.
Medical crews took a third person, who had sustained moderate injuries, to Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon. The paramedics had to declare the death of the mother and son, who were found trapped in their car.
The accident occurred when one of the vehicles took a left turn and was hit by an oncoming car.
Police were further examining the circumstances, and "at this moment do not yet know who was responsible for the accident," Chief Superintendent Ori Marziano told reporters. "According to our data, this is a junction that had no accidents lately, but unfortunately the results were dire," he said.

Floating in the rays of light were glorious blue angels whose voices were tremors of fluorescent white. Then she could see it clearly… palaces within the city touched with red sun.
(The Pearl City)
My Lord and my God, how can my poor heart understand Your Glory? Even when I sit in the presence of Your Majesty, I am shielded from the immensity of Your Power. Jesus, my Lord, my God, how can I love You? So great was Your love that You came down from heaven so I could come to know You, how can I begin to repay this goodness You have granted me by setting aside Your Power, when I have only my poverty to offer You? That the God of power and might should become incarnate for love of me is enough to strike the angels dumb with awe and cause the saints to prostrate themselves in tears of Adoration. But You did not simply do this, my Lord! You did not stop with this action of love that surpassed even folly and is enough to overwhelm all men with gratitude... no, You did much more.
My Love, You chose to show Your love in a way even more incomprehensible to those unequal to Your goodness. You gave us every drop of Your Blood, You surrendered Yourself utterly into our hands, even Your glory You did not expose, and You allowed us to put You to shame. Oh my God! My tears flow without restraint, because I do not understand. How could You love so much? You have made Yourself vulnerable to our love, and You have dedicated Yourself to redeeming each and every soul as if they, oh my Lord, were of supreme importance! But even this was not the summit of Your love. You did not only, in one complete act of Oblation, redeem us for all time. No, You saw our need... for we are weak and full of sin. You embrace us as Your Children, guide us as your sheep, and love us with the tenderness of a father for his son, and the passion of a man for his bride. My soul cries out: "what love is this!?" I am paralyzed with fear, for the greatness of this is more than the seas and the skies, and what at one time, on the surface, appeared foolish in my eyes... seems to surpass now even foolishness.
I can hardly begin to see how the Lord of all Bliss, the King of perfection, could love this worm so much. And yet, my heart is becoming easy, so entirely have you swooned my imagination that I can not be afraid. You have told me, and shown me, that You love me, and that I am precious to You. My Jesus, You are all I ever shall need. I trust You, and I beg You to accept my humble Adoration! Accept my humble plea, my impoverished wish to give You all. I am Your handmaid Lord, I have given You my heart and You have snatched it away, take pity on my plight, for now I have fallen deeply in love, and cannot rest until I have repaid all the love, stretching out to infinity, which You have given me. Indeed, I look around and see my Beloved in every person, and I breathlessly desire to save each and every one, and bring them with me to Your heart, for I cannot bear to let You be without them. My life is Yours, My Jesus, You have ignited me with the flame of Your heart and filled me with Yourself. No suffering, and no joy, could amount to what You have given me. Neither martyrdom, or long life in service, could nourish my thirst to give back what You have given me. No, I cannot repay You, but You have given me a remedy for this wound. Every small thing, every moment, I offer to You to give You pleasure... and You have promised that You will find infinite pleasure in it, if I do it with a love united to that which You showed for me on the Cross.

The other day a friend in a blogging group expressed concern over a person who had repeatedly trolled her blog with negative comments. Whenever she blocked that user, they would comment with another made up email address. I suggested using a Facebook Commenting plugin as a solution to her problem. If you have a Facebook account, you're probably a real person which (in theory) greatly reduces the likelihood that you'll post spam. Requiring users to login with Facebook also verifies their identity, and, in general, I have found that … [Read more...]

Anemia is a low level of healthy red blood cells (RBCs). RBCs carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. When red blood cells are low, the body does not get enough oxygen.
There are several specific types of anemia, including:

The main causes of anemia are:
Anemia is more common in:
Factors that may increase your chances of anemia include:
Symptoms of anemia may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids, waste products and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Options include:
You may be told to make changes to your diet. The diet may include foods rich in iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12, and folate. Vitamins or iron supplements may be added.
To help treat your anemia or your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe:
A blood transfusion delivers blood cells from healthy donor blood.
This procedure places healthy bone marrow or stem cells in the body. The goal is for the new tissue to produce healthy blood cells. This procedure carries risk. It is only done in severe cases of anemia.
Critical bleeding may be treated with surgery. In cases of very high RBC destruction, your spleen may need to be surgically removed.
Most inherited forms of anemia cannot be prevented. But the following steps may be taken to prevent certain types of anemia:

The national ceasefire brokered between the US and Russia aiming to pause hostilities between major players in Syria lasted only seven days before falling apart. The Syrian Armed Forces General Command formally declared that "the US-Russian ceasefire deal started sin
ce September 12th is over" on September 19th which was followed by government jets bombing targets in and around Aleppo. Fraught with hesitation and both sides throwing blame from the start, the ceasefire crumbling apart throws any possible diplomatic solution into greater obscurity. Most importantly, the relationship between the US and Russia has taken a serious step backwards as both scramble to reassess and posture in the aftermath of the symbolically significant failure.
Unfortunately small scale violations that may have been manageable were overshadowed by two major incidents, first the accidental US bombing of Syrian government forces on September 17th in Deir-el-Zour, and the September 19th strike on a UN aid convoy that killed the director of the Syrian Red Crescent. The convoy that was hit was on the very same path that the ceasefire was trying to protect in order to provide much needed assistance to civilians under siege in hard to reach areas in Aleppo province. Russia and Syria denied participating in the strike, though Russia simultaneously claimed that the convoy was "escorted by terrorists." Russia's definition of terrorist groups was a significant concern that remained unchallenged upon the signing of the deal.
If the ceasefire had been successful, the Americans and Russians had plans to coordinate on a Joint Implementation Center (JIC) to counter extremist groups which would have heralded a great step in resolving the crisis via the two major powers working together against a common foe. Russia's targeting of what the US designates as 'moderate rebel groups' is likely to resume which will further drive a wedge between the two nations. The ceasefire had excluded attacks on ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, which has recently rebranded itself as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham following its formal split with Al-Qaeda, which means these jihadi groups will gain the most in the fallout of the agreement.
Following the breakdown of the ceasefire attacks from Russia and the Syrian government escalated, causing a US intelligence official to remark the bombing campaign was one of the deadliest since the inception of the Syrian Civil War more than five years ago. State Department Spokesperson John Kirby announced that the US is "suspending its participation in bilateral channels with Russia that were established to sustain the cessation of hostilities" while also reiterating blame for the September 19th strike on Russia and the Syrian regime. Earlier that day, President Vladimir Putin stated the US was creating "a threat to strategic stability" in Syria and ended cooperation on a deal with the US on the disposal of weapons-grade plutonium.
Approximately 430,000 people have lost their lives in the Syrian Civil War as of mid-September, according to the watchdog group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The worsening of relations and evaporation of talks between the US and Russia in September stands to be one of the greatest setbacks in the war in 2016. It may be some time until US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov, or their successors, can formally broker another deal with any tangible impact on the situation on the ground. In the meantime, the US and Russia will act independently with at times overlapping and at times conflicting agendas.
At the very least, the US and Russia should aspire to coordinate attacks against their shared enemies in ISIS and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham while working towards alternatives in terms of other rebel groups. ISIS is losing its war in Iraq to the point that the possibility of retaking Mosul, their capital in Iraq, is now more feasible than ever. If the focus on ISIS is decreased within Syria, that will undoubtedly complicate the offensive in northeastern Iraq and push back the day when over a million people may be freed from the oppressive grip of ISIS in Mosul. For both the sake of Iraq and Syria, American-Russian cooperation is pivotal, if not absolutely necessary.

Family tree▼
Excerpt: Before going on the voyage to England with Dr. Cabell, we will consider another very interesting tradition, which has it that Mrs. Elizabeth Cabell was descended from an Indian princess of the Powhatan tribe (some accounts have it " of the Catawba tribe," but this is not tenable), and that it was the knowledge among the neighboring Indians of this descent which protected her husband while locating these lands, and herself when she was managing them in his absence. It was more probably owing to her relationship to members of the Society of Friends, with whom the Indians were on friendly terms. However, the story is interesting, and "the evidences of its truth" are said to " have been carefully collected" in several branches of the Breckin- ridge, Floyd, and other families. I cannot vouch for it, but I will give it as I find it in the Floyd tradition. "Opechancanough, the celebrated chief of the Powhatans, who was brutally murdered, while a prisoner, in 1644, left a lovely young daughter, the child of his old age, the Princess Nicketti — ' she sweeps the dew from the flowers.' Some years after this graceful Indian maiden had reached the years of mature womanhood, a member [the name is not given] of one of the old Cavalier families of Virginia 'fell in love with her and she with him,' and the result was a clandestine marriage, and a half-breed Indian girl who married about the year 1680 a Welshman (others say a native of Devonshire, England,) named Nathaniel Davis, an Indian trader, and, according to some accounts, a Quaker ; and from this alliance many notable people in the East and in the West have descended. Their daughter, Mary Davis (born about 1685), married Samuel Burks of Hanover (the ancestors of the Burks family of Virginia), and their daughter, Elizabeth Burks, married Capt. William Cabell, the ancestor of the Cabells; Martha Davis, another daughter, married Abraham Venable, the ancestor of the Venables. Robert Davis, Sr., a son (the ancestor of ' the black Davises ' of Kentucky, and from whom Jefferson Davis descended), had a daughter, Abadiah (or Abigail) Davis, who married William Floyd, the ancestor of the Floyds of Virginia and of the West. A daughter, or granddaughter, of the Quaker, married Gen'l Evan Shelby of Maryland, the ancestor of the Shelbys of the West. Samuel and Philip Davis of the Blue Mountains were sons, and there may have been other sons and daughters. "William Floyd left the eastern shore of Virginia, went up the country as far as the present Amherst County, which was then a very wild region, where he met with this family of Davis, who had traded with the Indians and had gotten much property in that way. [The Quakers were much given to friendly trading with the Indians.] "William Floyd and his wife's brother, Robert Davis, Jr., with their families, emigrated to Kentucky with the first settlers, and finally located in the Bear-grass region, near Louisville, where the kinsmen (Floyds and Davises) had a fort, called ' Floyd's Station.'" But it is not necessary to follow the Floyd narrative farther. It seems well to say, however, that I have seen a Davis pedigree which asserts that " the Indian blood first entered the family through the marriage of Abby Davis with William Floyd, a half breed Indian." Other Davis pedigrees and traditions do not deny the Indian blood, while every Floyd with whom I have corresponded has asserted positively that " it was through Abby Davis the Indian blood came." The Princess Nicketti's name (it may be because the marriage was clandestine) has not been popular among her traditional descendants. The first Governor, John Floyd of Virginia, named one of his daughters for her. I know of no other namesake; but if the tradition is true, no more lovely women than some among her descendants ever "swept the dew from the flowers."
"...Evan Shelby [Note: Brigadier General Evan Shelby, Jr. father of Kentucky Governor Isaac Shelby ] was an immigrant from Wales, and at first settled in Maryland, near Hagerstown. There his son Isaac was born in 1750. In the year 1771 father and son were both in southwestern Virginia, in the neighborhood of Bristol; and there the home of Evan Shelby continued to be during his life. It is natural to suppose that his wife, whose maiden name was Letitia Cox, accompanied them to their new home in the West. Whether she was visiting friends in Albemarle, or was passing through on a journey, at the period of her last sickness, it is perhaps impossible now to ascertain. But the plain, well preserved inscription on her tombstone leaves no doubt that this vicinity was the place of her death. A tradition in the Floyd family states, that about 1680 a Nathaniel Davis, who was also a native of Wales, married a child of Nicketti, a daughter of the Indian Chief, Opechancanough, the brother of Powhatan. Robert Davis was a son of these parents, and an ancestor of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy; and a granddaughter of Robert Davis was the wife of Evan Shelby. Probability is lent in this account by the fact, that Robert Davis had a son named Samuel, who would thus be the uncle of Letitia Shelby; and Samuel Davis was the owner of several tracts of land in Albemarle, on the north fork of Rockfish, on Green Creek, and on both sides of Moore's Creek, adjoining the Carter lands. At the time of her death Mrs. Shelby may have been visiting the family of this friend...."

London - Bentley is set to move production of all its W12 cylinder engines to Britain from Germany by the end of this year, after reporting a record 2013 profit on Wednesday.
The firm, bought by Volkswagen in 1998, said it would produce all of its 12 cylinder engines at its Crewe facilities in central England by the end of 2014, and expects to be producing a total of 9000 engines by 2017/18.
Currently some 5000 engines are manufactured in Crewe, with a remaining few thousand made in Salzgitter in Germany.
The increase in the number of engines would lead to Bentley exporting engines to cars made outside of Britain for the first time, with some to be used in as-yet unspecified Audi and Volkswagen models.
Bentley, which posted a 67 percent jump in operating profit to a record 139.7 million pounds, has been making its ultra-luxury vehicles including the flagship Mulsanne limousine at its factory in Crewe since 1946.
