Automatically Mount USB Disks On The Galaxy Nexus With StickMount
Lately, several phones have been released with hardware support for using them as USB hosts, so that you can connect USB mass storage devices to them and access the data stored on them right from your phone. However, it is more than likely that you have faced difficulties in doing so on your Galaxy Nexus, despite the fact that it supports the USB On-The-Go feature. Apparently, Google has disabled the automated mounting for mass storage devices for some reason unknown to us right now. While we aren't sure whether Google is working on this or not and whether we will see this functionality added in an update or not, you can do it right away with free app StickMount. More info after the jump! hat does the app do? It automatically mounts and dismounts your USB mass storage devices. Oh and, if you're not rooted, this app is not for you as the app requires root permission in order to run the commands required to mount the external storage. More on the app, after the break!
StickMount was developed by XDA Elite Recognized Developer Chainfire (who has also built other awesome stuff like SuperSU, CFRoot, CFBench a many other advanced apps and hacks), and it makes mounting devices on your phone in USB mode a breeze. While you can still do the same on the command line using Terminal Emulator or a similar terminal app, StickMount makes it easy to do it in a GUI for those of us who don't know the commands or simply don't wanna waste time typing them each time we want to use a USB device with our phone.
Once you have StickMount installed on your phone and connect a USB mass storage device to it via a USB host / OTG cable, you will see a pop-up on the screen asking you if you want to open StickMount. Note that the USB mass storage device was already connected and you installed the app after that, you will have to manually launch the app or reconnect the USB mass storage device to get the pop-up.
With the pop-up, it can't get any simpler than that, can it? Even if you dismiss the pop-up upon connecting the device, you can easily mount it yourself. When you launch the app, you can manually mount any mass storage devices currently connected, or unmount the apps currently mounted. Note that currently, StickMount only supports disks formatted as FAT partitions. StickMount is available for free on Google Play and can be installed using the link provided below.

Bloomfield Hills
Cranbrook soccer claims regional title, faces Petoskey in semifinal
By Mike Moore
Posted October 31, 2012
Three seasons ago, a 2-1 loss in the state semifinals kept the Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood soccer team from having a chance at a state title.
On Oct. 31, the Cranes have their shot at redemption.
"We wanted to see Petoskey, and now we have that chance," coach Chad O'Kulich said of the Division 2 semifinal, set for 6 p.m. at Midland High against the same team that ousted his guys in 2009. "It's a great rematch, something we were hoping for."
Cranbrook earned the spot in the semifinal thanks to a 1-0 victory against St. Clair Shores Lake Shore in an Oct. 27 regional final.
Constantin Kirberger notched the Cranes' lone goal midway through the first half.
"It's a huge win for the school, this team and the entire soccer community," O'Kulich boasted. "The kids have been so classy all season, working so hard for something like this. The fact we have the opportunity we do now is awesome."
According to O'Kulich, the Cranes (17-2-1) just have to do what's worked so far.
"Petoskey is a great team, one that plays soccer together year round," O'Kulich added. "They understand so much about each other and how to play well. For us, we just have to play within our system. We have to play as a team and believe we can win. There's not a whole lot we have to change."
Champs no more
When the season began, Beverly Hills Detroit Country Day coach Bob Bukari didn't exactly like being called a defending state champ.
"Because we really weren't," he explained. "We only had three guys back from that team when this year started."
Still, as the year wore on, the Yellowjackets got stronger and stronger.
Slowly but surely, the defending-champ label started to fit.
As it would go, Country Day ended just two wins shy of having a chance to repeat.
"This season was a huge accomplishment," Bukari said following his team's 3-1 loss to Grosse Ile High in a D-2 regional final. "I give all the credit in the world to these guys. They came such a long way to get to this point."
Country Day closed out 2012 with a 15-8-3 record.
"Technically, these guys are only going to get better by next year," Bukari said of the majority of the roster, which should return in 2013. "I think we're going to be very, very good moving forward."
Groves falls in final
Beverly Hills Groves had its season come to a close in a D-1 regional final in 1-0 loss to Utica Ford.
Groves ended the season 12-6-8.
"It's a great year," coach Jim Stachura said. "These guys always knew they had some talent, but I'm not sure they knew how much. It's unfortunate to have it end the way it did. The bottom line is, we've got to do some of the little things, and I think that's what we learned this year. To get to the next step, we should take heed to what Ford did today."

GWEN IFILL: NATO's exit plan from Afghanistan moves a bit closer to reality.
Judy Woodruff has the story.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The world leaders who gathered in Chicago this morning, discussing the future of NATO's commitment to Afghanistan, were welcomed by the Windy City's most prominent citizen.
President Obama renewed his pledge to draw down international forces known as ISAF while bolstering the Afghan military and police.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: This will be another step toward Afghans taking full lead for their security as agreed to by 2014 when the ISAF combat mission will end.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The president thanked the Central Asian nations and Russia for assistance in ensuring supply routes into Afghanistan, but he pointedly omitted any mention of Pakistan.
The Pakistani president, Asif Ali Zardari, had been invited to the summit at the last minute, as the U.S. tried to negotiate the reopening of vital supply routes from Pakistan. They have been closed since last fall, when an American attack mistakenly killed 24 Pakistani troops along the border.
Mr. Obama met with Zardari today on the summit's sidelines, but a new accord remained elusive.
BARACK OBAMA: We're actually making diligent progress on it. I don't want to paper over real challenges there. There's no doubt there have been tensions between ISAF and Pakistan, the United States and Pakistan over the last several months. I think they are being worked through both military and diplomatic channels.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The president had welcomed Afghan President Hamid Karzai to the summit on Sunday.
HAMID KARZAI, president of Afghanistan (through translator): The partnership that we signed a few weeks ago in Kabul has turned a new page in our relations. And the new page is a page of two sovereign countries working together for the mutual interests.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The two men signed that long-term strategic agreement just three weeks ago in Kabul.
The Chicago summit was supposed to ensure financial assistance for the Afghan police and army. The U.S., the Afghans and non-NATO countries planned to put up a combined $2.8 billion per year. They sought another $1.3 billion from the allies, but that fund-raising effort came up well short of its goal.
It was also unclear how many NATO nations would stay in Afghanistan and for how long. On Sunday, the new French president, Francois Hollande, reaffirmed plans to extract his nation's 3,400 combat troops one year earlier than planned.
FRANCOIS HOLLANDE, French president (through translator): It was a pledge I made to the French people. I explained it to President Obama and I told my colleagues that it wasn't a negotiable issue, that it was a matter of French sovereignty, and each one of them understood it well.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Whether a residual French training force stays in Afghanistan remained to be seen. For its part, the Taliban seized on the French announcement, saying on its Web site: "We call upon all the other NATO member countries to avoid working for the political interests of American officials and answer the call of your own people by immediately removing all your troops from Afghanistan."
And in the streets of Chicago, demonstrators rallied for a third day to denounce the war and demand withdrawal. An outbreak of violence yesterday resulted in dozens of arrests. But for the most part, the protests were peaceful. And they came as a clear majority of Americans now say in public opinion polls the war is no longer worth fighting.

I SEE that sour grapes are still being spat out by those who are miffed by Welcome to Yorkshire's amazing coup in attracting the Tour de France to our county from right under the noses of the likes of David Cameron and his cohort.
As we all know, he's been cossetting the Scots with all sorts of antics, including backing their Tour de France hosting bid, in the hope that they'll reject the call for independence and he'll win some votes at the general election ballot box as a result.
And, as we all also know, government funding to the Yorkshire and Humber region was slashed in favour of the Scots earlier this year – probably as a payback for Yorkshire having the flat-capped audacity to be better than the government's own game in attracting the world's biggest spectator sporting event to God's own county rather than north of the border.
So I can't say I was that surprised when North Yorkshire's Conservative police commissioner Julia Mulligan jumped on the sour grapes bandwagon and berated Welcome to Yorkshire for allegedly not consulting with her about the policing of the event next July.
She wrote a snottygram to Welcome to Yorkshire boss Gary Verity, slipped a sly copy to a Yorkshire newspaper before he'd apparently had chance to respond, then stood back and watched after the blue paper was lit.
She has a point when she highlights that 60 per cent of Le Grand Depart route goes through North Yorkshire, where the police force has the smallest budget when compared to its bigger brethren in the western and southern parts of the county.
But to then appear on local radio and say the cost isn't an issue because the force will be budgeting for it just confirms to many that this is yet another case of people throwing their teddies out of the cot because Verity and his team had the Yorkshire grit, gumption and determination to realise the Tour de France dream.
And to also suggest that poor, beleaguered police officers and community support officers will, heavens above, have to be on duty around and on the weekend of Le Grand Depart, with all police leave being cancelled, and implying by saying so that the poor souls will be hard done by as a result, is frankly pathetic. It's what they do, for pity's sake. It's their job!
If I was a police officer serving in North Yorkshire next summer I would positively jump at the chance of being on duty while the world's biggest sporting event descended on my patch. To be able to say "I was there", to soak up the atmosphere and be part of one of most fabulous things to ever happen in this wonderful county of ours is the stuff of regaling the grandkids at bended knee.
There's no way a rural bobby who's part of the fabric in the likes of Wharfedale and Swaledale is going to want to miss out on joining with his or her community to make the most of such a momentous occasion.
We saw it with the Olympics last year, when police officers were pictured having a craic with the crowds and getting into the swing of the moment.
And we'll see it again next summer when thousands line the route up hill and down dale in the anticipation of the moment when they finally get to see the pre-riders cavalcade followed by the flash of Lycra and helmet as the cyclists speed by.
After all, it's not like policing a football match or York Races or a Saturday night in drink-fuelled city streets, is it?
I'm getting sick and tired of the ah-yes-but brigade seeking to constantly rain on Welcome to Yorkshire's parade by hunting out all the negatives they can muster while being damning with faint praise about the positives that will result from the Tour de France coming to us next July.
Gary Verity is the pied piper of tourism for this county, who has thousands of businesses large and small behind him because they can see the benefits for everyone that Yorkshire hosting this mother of all sporting events will bring.
Welcome to Yorkshire had the vision to make it happen and all those who have had their noses put out of joint as a result should put their pouting bottom lip away, stop spitting out the sour grapes dummy and get over it.

Merton Council is urging residents and businesses for their views on its draft Sites and Policies Development Plan.
Those wishing to contribute to the final version have until February 27, to send their response to the council.
The document consists of a comprehensive list of potential development sites as part of the council's plans to strengthen the borough's long-term prosperity and financial resilience.
The draft includes proposed areas of land and possible uses from the council, other public sector organisations including the NHS, the London Fire Brigade and Transport for London, as well as private businesses and landlords.
Assessing all the proposed sites and their potential uses across the whole borough, as opposed to looking at sites individually, allows the council to ensure responsible and economically-sound development for at least the next decade.
This includes maintaining open green spaces as well as providing sufficient housing and amenities.
Councillor Andrew Judge, cabinet member for environmental sustainability and regeneration said: "We have made amendments to the document reflecting some of the comments people have made in earlier consultations, and this is the last opportunity people will have to comment on its contents before we finalise the document in readiness for full council and the Secretary of State."
The list of sites, policies and land designations and the contact details to respond to the consultation are available at merton.gov.uk/environment/planning/planningpolicy/ldf/sites_policies_dpd

Photographer's Note
Pictured here the government buildings on Upper Merrion Street, central Dublin.
This dramatic Edwardian Baroque complex of buildings is arranged around a central quadrangle. Visible in the shot here is the collosal ionic portico and the dome which faces onto the street, and is the backdrop for many Irish news articles concerning politics of the state.
Contruction began in 1904 and the site was chosen partly because of the desire in Dublin to create a block of prestigious cultural, government and educational buildings, similar to the institutions of South Kensington. As it is situated by the Natural history museum and the museum of Science and art (Now the National Museum of Ireland), if fit the bill perfectly.
The architects of the complex were London man Aston Webb and Dubliner Thomas Manly Deane.
The foundation stone was laid in 1904 and, while architect Aston Webb got on with the business of designing the complex, concern began to be expressed about what Irish materials should be used in its construction. When the preliminary designs became available in 1905 it was obvious that a combination of granite and Portland stone, already in use on the facades of Admiralty Arch, would be employed. Concern grew until the architects were obliged to give an undertaking that four fifths of all building materials would be Irish. Portland stone would be used only in the decorative facings of the buildings. Granite for the rest was selected from the Ballyknocken quarries in Wicklow.
The balancing north and south wings, intended to house departments of the British administration, were completed in March 1922. To allow for the eventual building of these wings the townhouses which originally fronted the site were acquired by compulsory purchase order. DATI, as well as the Board of Works, occupied the townhouses until 1913 when, building having at last progressed to this outer periphery, they were demolished. In all, eighteen four-storey over basement houses were pulled down to makeway for the additional blocks. Ironically, Thomas Manly Deane had offices in one of the houses which had to be demolished.
The interior of the building is a tribute to Irish art and furniture making. There are marble floors, richly woven carpets and rich furnishings. One of the most notable items to see here is the glorious stained glass window entitled "my four green fields" and designed by artist Evie Hone. It dates from 1939 when it was commissioned for the Irish governments pavillion at the Worlds Fair in New York. The window also resided in the CIE offices in Dublin for many years before being meticulously taken apart, cleaned and releaded and fitted in its present home.
The exterior of the complex also features beautiful carved sculptures, some are visible in this shot.
The cost of the original complex was 225,000 pounds. The cost of its rennovation in 1990 was 17.4 million pounds.
Thanks for looking!

Hi Noel,
great idea. I know I repeat it so often under your photos but this is something what I have approached really many times also because it is a great architecture and not a very popular view of Dublin. I was however never happy with the results, I tried always to focus on the internal part but I see the trick was to actually take a wide composition to make it work and to show the whole context.
I really like it.
Great work!

Hello Noel,
brilliant presentation of this impressive buildings complex.In this case the weather and clear sky is crucial for this scene.The white facade looks fabulous against blue sky-the contrast is eye-catching.It´s excellently composed scene with really well kept symmetry.
Have a nice evening

As Mariusz said, this is a building I've walked past, completely forgetting how beautiful and impressive it is. And what a superb photo, you really have demonstrated its grandeur and class, aswell as the impressive architectural details. The note is first class too - wow, 225k versus 17.5 mill - now that's inflation for you!
abmdsudi (61122) 2012-11-02 3:50
Hi Noel
Another good architectural shot, It's high striking contrast but I love the shadow areas with the glimpse of the fig in the darkness to emphasize the strength of the composition, and by farming the buildings centrally. A delightful historic structures filled with bright colours, the glorious detail and delicacy amaze me particularly good with the light catching on the facade with interesting mix between the repeated lines, shapes and patterns. An awesome piece of architectural shot Noel, Well done.
Kind regards
ourania (51103) 2012-11-20 12:19
Hello Noel,
your upward point of view and symmentrical composition have created an effective presentation of the architecture with great depth and attractive perspective. Sharpness, lighting, strong colours and contrasts are marvellous and have offered a fascinating graphic quality that enhances the dramatic aspect of the baroque architecture mentioned in your note. I absolutely love the contrasts and the way the shadows seem to be creeping upwards from the bottom of the frame. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,

I have purchased this phone about 2 weeks ago, with the price of IDR 2,600,000, or approximately U.S. $ 237. I think this phone is very good especially with the facilities offered with a very affordable price. The Flash User Interface is very interesting and easy to use, it also features touchscreen is very good. Music player is also quite good, unfortunately there is no flash on the camera and the battery capacity is too small for a phone with a screen of that, but in general this phone is very good.

I'm going to trade off my Sony Ericsson W610i with LG Cookie... I'm looking for budget phones with good sound quality for playing my MP3 collections. Is the sound quality of the Cookie better than w610i? (Or at least the same, considering it's a touch screen phone)

British prison officer Lisa Harris, 28, had found the man of her dreams. His name was Daniel Lynch, and he was a 33-year-old dream boat with big muscles and a baby face. Last February, they had a month-long whirlwind affair where they traded loads of loving text messages ("I miss you, can't wait to see you and hold you. Sweet dreams."), talked on the phone for hours, and met for a few secret rendezvous. He even referred to her as "princess." But there was one downside to her new man—he was in prison. Her prison. And not for white collar crime. In 2008, Lynch stalked British TV presenter Katie Piper, abducted her, and raped her for more than eight hours in a hotel room. As if that weren't traumatizing enough, after arrested, he arranged for a friend to throw acid in Piper's face—she was blinded in one eye and severely scarred. I mean, how could you not fall for this guy?
Sadly, Harris' love affair ended when she was caught sneaking a cell phone in to Lynch. Apparently, it was the second she'd given him — after she was arrested, it was discovered that she'd texted the second phone and warned him that their jig was up. She resigned from her post and is currently being charged with three counts of misconduct in a public office. Talk about inappropriate relationships. [Daily Mail]

Amar'e Stoudemire has accepted his role as the New York Knicks' sixth man.
"It's in my DNA: I'm just willing to do whatever it takes to win," Stoudemire said. "I've accomplished a lot in my career so far. The next thing to accomplish is to win a championship. Whatever that takes. Whatever role that I need to step into, I'm totally open to it."
Stoudemire has made a committed effort to score in the post.
"When he catches the ball down there, he's able to produce," Mike Woodson said. "That's going to be huge for us down the road."
Entering play Wednesday, the Knicks had outscored opponents by an average of 13.4 points per 48 minutes with Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler on the floor together.
"The more time that we get to play with one another, the more we learn about one another, the better the chemistry is," said Chandler.

European Union antitrust authorities are investigating Apple along with five international publishing firms for possible price fixing of e-books. The probe launched by the European Commission will attempt to determine dealings between the iPad maker and major US publishers HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster.
Britain's Penguin and France's Hachette Livre are also under the spotlight, along with German publishing house Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck.
The EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said in a statement that "the Commission will in particular investigate whether these publishing groups and Apple have engaged in illegal agreements or practices that would have the object or the effect of restricting competition in the EU or in the EEA."
As financial stakes in the e-book rise ever higher, EC competition spokesperson Amelia Torres said it is of utmost vital to guard consumers against anti-competitive practices. "This is an important issue for consumers, for people like me and you who love to read books, including on an electronic platform," said Torres at a news conference.
Raid On E-book Publishers
Apple first came under the scrutiny of EU authorities when they raided offices of several e-book publishers across Europe in March. The documents seized contained information that roused the suspicion of antitrust regulators.
In addition to possible antitrust infringement on the part of Apple and the five publishers, the Commission said its investigation will also closely examine the terms of agreement between the publishing houses and e-book retailers.
"The Commission has concerns that these practices may breach EU antitrust rules that prohibit cartels and restrictive business practices," the EU Competition Commission said in a statement.
In the United Kingdom the Office of Fair Trading had also been conducting its own probe into anticompetitive practices in the e-books industry. But with Brussels now taking the lead, the British government will put its investigation aside.
The Office of Fair Trading will assist the EC and share all findings relating to the matter.
Apple has dominated the tablet market since it pioneered the handheld device in April 2010. The iPad allows users to browse the internet, check emails and download various forms of multimedia, while also providing reading enthusiasts with all its latest e-books titles.
But the contest for e-reader supremacy is not quite so one-sided, with Apple having to take the fight to Amazon. While the online marketplace giant's recent tablet challenger, the Kindle Fire, is yet to pose a serious threat to the iPad, its Kindle is by far the most popular e-reader and also has the most extensive collection of e-books.
Canadian company Kobo recently embarked on an aggressive e-reader campaign, joining forces with WH Smith to launch its challenge to Amazon. Sony's PRS-T e-reader has failed to have the same impact as its rivals.
Key Statistics – Global e-book Market (source: The Digital Reader)
- E-book sales account for some 17% of revenue at Simon & Schuster.
- E-books account for around 20% of Hachette's sales in the US and 8% in the UK – double the amount from the first half of last year.
- HarperCollins e-books sales make up around 12% of total figures.
- E-books represent 5% of net sales for France's Lagardere Publishing business.
- Penguin's e-book sales account for 14% of total revenues.

2014 MXGP - Grand Prix of Bulgaria
Posted by: newsla on Apr 21, 2014 - 06:13 AM
2014 MXGP - Grand Prix of Bulgaria
The premier MXGP class of the FIM Motocross World Championship continues to be a happy hunting ground for Yamaha Factory Racing and Jeremy Van Horebeek. The combination of the Belgian and the YZ450FM linked together positively at Sevlievo today to gain third position in the overall standings. The result meant a fourth rostrum appearance in the five rounds of eighteen in the 2014 term so far and brings JVH joint second in the MXGP standings.
Sevlievo was battered - and actually benefitted - from heavy rain in the lead-up to the Grand Prix. The weather helped to create a soft, rough and immensely rutted racing terrain with a plethora of grip. The hard-pack was mostly transformed into a technical and difficult layout and with modifications for 2014 (two new sections of turns) the course was slower compared to previous years and more of a challenge. The steep downhills and uphill drags still placed hard emphasis on engine and suspension performance but the possibility for riders to try different lines and make up time on their rivals was an important factor. On Sunday afternoon - midway through raceday - the rain started again and the second moto was run in muddy and slippery conditions.
Van Horebeek rolled into the start gate with second position after an effective outing in the qualification heat on Saturday (a day that saw the timetable amended to help the state of the track). A largely static first moto in the sunshine saw the Yamaha circulating in third place and Van Horebeek was frustrated to finally cross the line in fourth after a small crash (through a problem with his goggles and also a backmarker) allowed Kevin Strijbos to demote him by one slot. With the weather reversal for the second race JVH played a percentage game and rode smoothly and smartly to secure second and register his tenth consecutive top five finish for a final scorecard of 4-2 and the bottom step of the podium. Jeremy now guards second position in the MXGP championship table with Clement Desalle and is 28 points behind leader Tony Cairoli.
DP19 Yamaha Racingâs David Philippaerts was competing at the venue where he took his first victory for Yamaha back in 2008. The former World Champion didnât enjoy the best of starts but produced two solid races on the fringes of the top ten to bag some valuable points. The Italian rode to 11th and 12th for 11th overall.
Bike it Yamaha Cosworthâs Rui Goncalves had a difficult day on the bumps. The Portuguese veteran had twinged his back in the first session on Saturday and had to complete the first day with painkillers. Rui came through the motos in discomfort but was able to dig out some effective results in the circumstances with a 13-9 delivering a top ten overall placing for the day.
The Grand Prix of the Netherlands will occur at the staple venue of Valkenswaard, near Eindhoven, in two weeks time.
Jeremy Van Horebeek
"This is not my favourite track and I have never been on the podium here before so Iâm pretty stoked about this result. I struggled all weekend and was not feeling comfortable but together with the team we have made a great bike - which made things easier - so Iâm really happy for that. We still need to work on the starts, and these have to get better if I want to win races. In the second moto it was not that muddy actually, more slick, and we were sliding a lot because the track was so hard. I rode like an enduro rider! Trying to be smooth and standing on the pegs a lot; this helped. Four podiums in four rounds now and Valkenswaard is close to my place. I love sand riding and I have worked a lot on this in the winter because I felt I was having difficulty with the MX1 bike. Now I feel good and Iâm looking forward to going there." Jeremy Van Horebeek
David Philippaerts
"Today things were a little bit better and Iâm happy to have two solid motos. In the first one I was riding well, and finished eleventh. The speed was good, even if my start wasnât from the thirteenth gate. In the second moto it was really difficult in that rain and especially when coming through the pack. I had some problems with the handlebar grip but anyway it was a consistent day. The bike was good, my form OK and the team is working well. Now we will push for Valkenswaard."
Rui Goncalves
"I wasnât happy on Saturday because I hurt my back and my right leg in the first practice. I got cross-rutted on one of the jumps and although I saved the crash I landed quite hard. I pulled a muscle. I could not ride at my best today I was tight and trying to protect my back. I knew it would be a tough one and wanted to survive it with as many points as I could. In the first moto I didnât ride well but still made it up to thirteenth. In the second I was dead-last but rode smooth and kept on two wheels. I made positions and got up to ninth; that I was happy with. Iâll take this result and sort myself out in the next days. I hope to do some good training and we go to Valkenswaard next. I like the sand and I want to get steady and consistent in the top ten before we can reach forward."
Petrov shines in front of home crowd at Bulgarian MXGP
Kemea Yamaha Racingâs Petar Petrov was the standout performer for Yamaha in the MX2 division of the FIM Motocross World Championship as he rode to sixth position at a rutty and difficult-to-judge Sevlievo circuit for the Grand Prix of Bulgaria.
Sevlievo was under grey clouds and incessant rain during the days before the MXGP paddock rolled into town but the watering helped to soften the hard-pack. The effect on the track made the fast and hilly layout more technical and tacky but also extremely rough. 20,000 spectators took advantage of the Easter holiday weekend to take-up a vantage point on the Sevlievo slopes and were cheering on Petrov - locally born - as the only Grand Prix regular from Bulgaria on the international MXGP stage.
â152â gave the fans plenty to shout about. A first lap crash saw him restart from last position in the first moto but his speed and determination was inspiring. The nineteen year old fought all the way back to an excellent eighth place. In the second moto a more beneficial start meant he could concentrate on a higher slot. Rainfall descended midway through the afternoon and this changed the track conditions but Petrov was unstoppable and reached sixth spot for the same ranking overall for the day.
Team-mate Luke Styke was seventeenth as he continues a hard adaptation process to grand prix in his first international season and Bike it Yamaha Cosworthâs Max Anstie also had a tough day. The Briton is in the midst of a development programme with the teamâs technology and was thirteenth overall with a 13-15 score.
In other news factory rider Christophe Charlier is taking positive steps in his recovery from a broken leg suffered at the Grand Prix of Thailand and will soon be able to concrete a firm return date to the GP track. Sevlievo saw the second round of the EMX125 championship (the second stop of eight) and steering the YZ125 was David Herbreteau who gunned the YRRD-kitted machine to his very first win at this level and was one of five YZ125 two-strokes in the top fifteen. Bulgaria also witnessed the launch of the EMX250 series - the final rung on the European ladder into MX2 GP racing - and Arnaud Aubin was the highest placed with tenth.
The shallow sand of Valkenswaard will be the next setting for the FIM Motocross World Championship and its support classes as the Grand Prix of the Netherlands will constitute round six of the calendar and the first of three meetings in May.
Petar Petrov
"Finally a good weekend, and it feels so much better doing it at my home race. Usually I ride bad over here but this year was really good! The track was so much different than other years. In the past it was fast and wide-open all the time but now there were deep ruts and you could make a difference. In the first moto I crashed after a couple of corners and was in last position. I put my head down and attacked as hard as I could. My speed was good and I enjoyed the race. The public was fantastic! They were cheering so hard and it literally gave me an extra boost. I finished 8th and was one of the fastest on the track, so that was good. In the second race my start was better. The track was tricky with the rain and I didnât take too many risks. I finished 6th and had a good battle with Coldenhoff. Iâm relieved I managed to finish two good races and this gives confidence for Valkenswaard, which suits me well." Petar Petrov
Max Anstie
"We not quite there yet and we need to work a bit more. The start of the season went well and we cannot afford to give away points like we did this weekend. Weâve got a couple of weeks now and weâll see what we can do. I hope weâll go to Valkenswaard with an open mind. The track was alright and quite cool. It was difficult, rutty and technical. I felt good about there and thatâs the frustrating thing."
Luke Styke
"Saturday went good for me. I had a good feeling on the track and finished 12th. On Sunday it was more difficult. The first moto I was in 15th for pretty much the whole race. On a jump I hurt my wrist a little and after that I rode tight and cautious so as to not to hit the wrist again. In the second race I was riding tight once more to finish 16th. Back to Belgium now and we will continue to work hard for the next race."

AVONVALE clinched the Division One championship with a nervy win at King's Stanley.
Stroud & District Div One
King's Stanley 0
Avonvale United 1
Vale attacked at every opportunity, but luck wasn't on their side when it came to converting chances to goals.
An own goal not long after the break turned out to be enough to secure the three pointsand they can celebrate being winners of the division in the final game of the season at home on Saturday.
Stroud & District Div Seven
Frampton Utd III 2
Avonvale Utd III 2
A SPIRITED performance from the thirds saw them come back from a two-goal deficit to take a point away at Frampton.
The goals came from Jack Johnson and Jack Thomas, and with a disallowed goal and a further penalty shout denied for Dominic Jackson, Vale were unlucky not to take all three points.

MINSK – An opposition protester arrested in Belarus for wearing a T-shirt criticizing authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko has been freed after spending five days in jail.
Leonid Smovzh, a 53-year-old railroad engineer, said that for the first two days he was held in a cell with no heat or light, and he was given no food. He was set free Friday.
He was arrested after a protest Nov. 10 for wearing a T-shirt on which he had written: "For Belarus without Lukashenko." On the back it said: "For Belarus without dictatorship."
"Why did I write this? So that I won't be ashamed to look my grandchildren in the eye when they ask, 'What did you do for us?' " Smovzh said.
Lukashenko, who has ruled the former Soviet republic for 20 years, has shown little tolerance for dissent. Activists have been jailed for taking part in demonstrations during which they simply clapped their hands or smiled, in attempts to get around bans on political protest.
Ten people remain in prison on politically motivated charges, including a former presidential candidate who was arrested after the 2010 election.
Rights activist Yulia Stepanova said Smovzh's arrest shows how difficult the situation has become in Belarus.
"A person doesn't have the right to express his opinion anywhere or in any way," said Stepanova, who met Smovzh outside the prison. She said the government wants there to be "total silence, so that there is 'stability' in quotation marks."
Smovzh complained that while police gave him back his hat, scarf, documents and money, they refused to let him keep the T-shirt.

MP Anne McIntosh says she is determined to fight on to remain Ryedale's MP despite not being re-adopted by the local Conservative Party.
She told the Gazette & Herald that despite the setback she still hopes to remain MP for Thirsk, Malton and Filey and, even without the backing of the Conservatives, she could still stand in the May 2015 General Election. She said: "I remain on the official Conservative candidates list and, as such, am free to apply for any available seat in the country, but it is my intention to apply again for the Thirsk and Malton division because this is the area I know and where, at the last election, I had a majority of over 11,000 - almost 53 per cent of the votes cast."
At Thirsk Livestock Market last week, she was inundated with farmers seeking her views and supporting her campaign for their industry. "She is an outstanding MP for farmers," said farmer Alan Myer. Jim Welburn praised her as "a very hard-working MP who deserves our support".
In the short term, Ms McIntosh is helping senior Tory MEP Tim Kirkhope's bid for re-election in the European Parliament elections in May and she hopes that after those elections she will be free to get involved in an open primary in her constituency, which could be in June or July.
Her confidence has been bolstered by the support of MPs such as Zac Goldsmith, Margot James, and "father" of the House of Commons, Sir Peter Tapsell.
She said: "I cannot be dismissed by 200 or so local party people who are invisible in the Thirsk and Malton constituency when I have the support of thousands more who have not been given a voice. There must be transparency. I believe that such a genuine ballot, which has been supported in other constituences by David Cameron, will help to draw a line under the issue."
One of the main criticisms from senior Conservatives in the constituency is that Ms McIntosh has not given them access to her diary. She said: "There are certain aspects of any MP's diary that have to remain confidential, when those you are helping do not wish to have that information in the public domain."
As chairwoman of the Government's Defra Select Committee, Ms McIntosh has been in the spotlight recently supporting those hit by flooding and the horsemeat scandal.

The daytime symposium and evening launch party will be held March 18 in northwest San Antonio. The Images for Conservation Fund is a Texas-based, non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of a sustainable, self-funded wildlife conservation industry based upon nature photography tourism. ICF hopes to establish exciting nature photography leasing destinations while simultaneously generating significant income for the private landowners who lease them. To raise public awareness of these opportunities for both landowners and photographers, ICF has created the Pro-Tour of Nature Photography and a number of supporting events. The symposium will feature two programs open to the public. One is for photographers wishing to learn about wildlife photography techniques and the existing opportunity to photograph wildlife on premier private ranches in the Texas Hill Country, according to Bob Petersen, chairman of the Images for Conservation Advisory Committee. "The other program is for landowners who are interested in learning about the income potential that nature photo tourism offers for their ranching operations," Petersen said. "The classes will be taught by some of the world's best professional wildlife photographers, plus private landowners and tourism experts." The symposium will be held at TMI, the Episcopal School of Texas, in northwest San Antonio from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $75 and includes lunch. The Pro-Tour launch party is also an organizational event leading up to the inaugural Pro-Tour of Nature Photography. At the launch party, professional photographers and Hill Country landowners will be paired into teams for the month-long tournament-style event April 1-30. The Pro-Tour is the world's first all-professional nature photo competition, and the 20 teams will compete for a share of up to $200,000 in prize money. The launch party will be held at the historic Gallagher Headquarters, located 23 miles northwest of San Antonio. Admission is $50 and includes a light supper. Petersen noted the symposium and launch party mark the first public events associated with the inaugural Pro-Tour of Nature Photography. In January, representatives from the 20 Pro-Tour ranches heard suggestions from professional wildlife photographer Larry Ditto on working with their photographer teammates. For more information, visit the ICF Web site or call Sam Mason or John Martin at (956) 381-1264. (EDITORS NOTE: The ICF website includes: maps to the symposium and launch party, list of participating Pro-Tour landowners for the inaugural event, background information about the tournament and PHOTOS by Pro-Tour photographers available for news media use.) --- On the Net: http://www.imagesforconservation.org/ -30-

As I'm a science student most of my books or articles are in PDF thus I'm in the search of a good way to view PDF files on the eReader. Yep, on the Sony eReader because I need the eInk display.
At the moment I try to figure out how to properly read original and scanned physics books.
Using reflow doesn't work that good, it just doesn't handle equations well.
My main problem is to find the right page size, because the Sony eReader has the odd behavior to add grey margins to not optimal sized books instead of allowing to pan or so.
Well, after a lot of trial and error I figured some working measurements which get displayed with a 1:1 scale (sadly it's not a a pixel precise size).
Width: 89,4 mm
Height: 115,4 mm
Right now I test a scanned book, used Acrobat OCR ClearScan and after that resized the page and set the right page size with cropping.
It works pretty well and in landscape mode it's nicely readable. And if I can't read an equation, then I can zoom in and pan to the equation:
So how do others read PDF files on their eReader? Some tips some tricks? I haven't found that useful information yet, most recommend a tablet without a sunlight readable display, useless for me.
It's a bit sad that the integrated PDF reader has so few options. Is it possible to install alternative PDF readers just like the apps which got installed with PRS+?

So why is it liberals abhor the right to bear arms unless it concerns their right to bear arms? Why is it liberals ridicule the idea of an armed guard protecting the children of others but don't give it a second thought when it comes to the protection of their own families? Because liberals believe that if only the world was as wonderful as they are there would be no problems. They see themselves as being in possession of enlightened, progressive virtue and that gun laws should be used to keep arms out of the hands of uncivilized, uncouth conservatives or anyone else who has the temerity not to share their worldview. It is the same sort of thinking that allows liberals to own SUVs, send their children to private schools, and obtain waivers from Obamacare without batting an eyelash.
On a personal note, I do not own a gun nor do I plan to purchase one. Nevertheless, I respect the rights of other Americans to make their own choices when it comes to protecting themselves and their families. I say this because I know most Americans are not Jared Lee Loughner, James Eagan Holmes, Wade Michael Page, or Adam Lanza. As such, the federal government and the mainstream media should not treat us as if we are.

The idea to expand Super Rugby in the southern hemisphere and into Japan sounds great but the difficulty is fitting so many teams into one competition.
It was interesting to hear during the week of the plan to bring in new teams in the coming years.
SANZAR has already agreed to bring in a sixth team in South Africa for 2016 as the new TV deal is brokered. Argentina want a piece of the action as well. The Kiwis want another team and then there is scope for a Japanese franchise to pop up, too.
Working out a format? Not easy. Australia and New Zealand have been mooted as one conference and South Africa and the Argentinian franchise being the other.
My thinking is that the more you are exposed to different styles of rugby the better you become as a player and a team. However, separating the nations has pros and cons.
The South Africa-Argentina conference would be in effect a beefed-up version of the Currie Cup, and if you have watched that competition you would see it's frantic, frenetic and is full of physicality. Throw in the Argentina influence and this would be one tough group to survive to the play-offs.
South Africa's response to being separated from Australasia would be that they really don't care what others think of how they play. Remember, they were talking about realigning their competition with Britain last time the TV rights deal was up for renegotiation, because the times zones are more compatible.
The South Africans do have a lot of negotiating power due to the sheer quantity of players in their system.
With the combination of the Australian franchises pairing up with the New Zealand teams, that for me conjures up scenes of intimidation. New Zealand dominate on the international stage and were victors again in Super Rugby this year for the second season in a row. My concern would be whether the Australian franchises could compete at that level, let alone the Japanese team floated to join in the years to come.
But this may not be the case - rugbyheaven editor Stephen Samuelson pointed out that of the 20 matches between Australian and New Zealand sides in regular season Super Rugby this year, the Australian teams won 12. This came as a surprise to me, as I thought that those numbers would have been more in favour of the New Zealand teams.
Looking at the results, it was the Reds who had the great run against our neighbours, with all of the franchises getting wins but it's about winning consistently. Perhaps then the Australian teams are not fearing our trans-Tasman rivals as we once were. Maybe this could strengthen Australian rugby and, in turn, bridge the gap on the international front between the Wallabies and the All Blacks.
If an Argentinian franchise is introduced, it would be competitive as long as it could draw from its stars playing in Europe, but the introduction of the Japanese team could be problematic.
Rugby in Japan is a healthy beast in its own right, and with the World Cup there in 2019, it will be a fantastic event. I have seen the hospitality from both an on-field and off-field perspective.
They have plenty of resources to throw at the players. They have been introduced to international coaches to increase their skill base and had success in the short term. In fact, the more exposure these players have to the rest of the world, the better and they have already had success in placements in Super Rugby franchises.
I have spoken with a few of my Japanese connections and they think a Japan-based team could make the transition quite easily.
The players have size and skill, a desire to compete and a high workrate. Only three months ago the national team beat Wales and they have the highest-passing game in world rugby.
They are a second-tier nation on the international scene but they are improving. There is no doubting the commitment to the cause. I was worried about placing a team in this standard of rugby but that's not the point - it's about up-skilling the players on a weekly basis, and being introduced to that level of rugby could bring exponential gains for the players.
Expansion of Super Rugby is inevitable, but it's imperative that it is not undertaken at the expense of filling the coffers with cash as a result of the TV deal. Correct strategic management of such a great competition is needed to keep this concept of franchise rugby strong and not lost to over-exposure of too many games.

We were invited to a business dinner here and had a delicious dinner in a lovely setting. However, the service was soooo slow and unattentive. Maybe they had an off night as this place was highly recommended.

I remember when I met Alex Morrisey at a Kingston BETA event and I was encouraging him to pitch a startup business idea soon. He smiled and said I will have something to talk about soon. That he did. He had already launched JamaicansMusic.com and was taking it to another level before shouting it to the world. When he was in the throws of making his brand visible and remarkable he pitched it at Kingston BETA and shared his story of why, how and what it took and where he's going.
He's taken Jamaican music and culture to the world…using the Web. His story told to members of the Kingston BETA community, shared on SiliconCaribe.tv, written on by Jamaican mainstream media is now beind told on SocialMediaExaminer.com- a hugely popular online magazine that helps businesses answer social media questions with useful how to articles, in-depth case studies, expert interviews, and original research.
The article Facebook Geotargeting Draws 500,000 Fans for Small Biz just got published. Read it. We're proud. These are the Jamaican/Caribbean Startup Success stories we are working to have more of. The Tech Industry will spawn economic development…startups, jobs and innovation for Jamaica and the Caribbean.

It's hard to relax in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, what with all the dragons, shadow demons, White Walkers and people having sex wherever you look. Cooperstown, New York's Ommegang Brewery is about to give George R. R. Martin fans (or just beer fans) a chance to unwind with the release of four Game of Thrones-themed brews. First up is the Iron Throne Blonde Ale coming out at the end of the month. We went all Lord Varys and tasted it early to bring you the pertinent info and help you decide whether it's worth shelling out $8.50 worth of Gold Dragons for a 750ml bottle.
This is a very drinkable, Belgium-style beer. It's brewed with grains of paradise and lemon peel giving it a light, citrus-y kick for a pleasing summery taste. It has only 6.5 percent alcohol-by-volume so you might be able to knock back a few at lunch and still be in sound enough mind and body to take down some Lannisters. Also, in general, we're strong proponents of the merging of pop culture and food culture.
The connection between the show and the beer is a little hazy. They say it's referencing the blonde Joffrey Baratheon sitting on the Iron Throne and that it's "fair in color and soft in appearance, yet it still possesses a complexity and bite to be on guard for." That sounds almost as wedged in as Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane's head in Tyrion "the Imp" Lannister's helmet. Plus, a grains of paradise- and lemon peel-flavored summer ale reminds of something. And why are they making a summer ale when winter is coming?
The Verdict
Despite it's thematic shortcomings, a delicious beer is a delicious beer. This one is worth trying even if you don't get all the allusions in this post. We'll drink this until the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. If you're game, you can find out where to get it in your kingdom here.
