British Department Store Bans Airbrushing
Debenhams, a department store in the U.K., has banned airbrushing in their upcoming swimsuit campaign. Pictures like the one above will appear in the store's windows with marks at places where it might have been altered if airbrushing were involved. We think the model in the picture looks amazing as she is and it's cool to know that she hasn't been altered. [Huffington Post]

Fancy a tiny, puffy pastry popping out from your printer?
Researchers at the Cornell Creative Machines Lab are experimenting with 3-D food printers, envisioning them as the next It appliance for restaurants and home kitchens – digital gastronomy, if you will.
Using edible "inks" and digital blueprints, their latest printer, Fab@Home, can make precise, novel treats, from perfectly shaped Austrian sugar cookies to scallops shaped liked miniature homes or space shuttles, if that's more your speed.
"It's digital cooking," says Jeffrey Lipton, a mechanical engineering PhD student who worked alongside molecular gastronomy pioneer Dave Arnold of the French Culinary Institute.
Together they are conjuring new forms for the foods we've come to know, with the hopes of making them more delectable.
The technology is nascent, and so far only produces raw food, but "it is conceivable that a printer would also cook the material as it prints," said Hod Lipson, head of the Cornell lab.
The ingredients so far have mostly been soft foods such as pesto, cheese, chocolate, frosting, peanut butter and cookie dough. These are poured into a print head and then pumped out via syringe to form whatever intricate design a digital blueprint exacts.
The technology will let chefs play with food textures and flavours, even if they don't have a steady hand. "You can make things that are far more complex than what most people are skilled [enough] to do manually," Dr. Lipson said.
"It could be a novelty in a high-end restaurant but it could also, in the longer term, be an appliance not unlike the bread maker, much more sophisticated but as easy to use."
Eggheads have been experimenting with 3-D printing for nearly three decades. They started with plastic and moved on to metals and ceramics: "It literally makes three-dimensional things on the fly. … You can print toys, a toothbrush, an iPod holder – whatever you want," Dr. Lipson said.
The food printer also has implications for healthy eating, said Mr. Lipton, the PhD student.
"If you gave kids peas that didn't look like peas and said they were a space shuttle, they're much more apt to eat them because it's now playtime," he said. "It's a way of introducing nutrition to kids, sort of through trickery."
With the help of the French Culinary Institute, he said, "We did a meat cube with celery on the inside for children. In order to get their meat they also have to eat their vegetables."
Mr. Lipton envisions a simple touch interface that would let users program their recipes.
Dr. Lipson, meanwhile, sees downloadable menus: "You can record a well-known chef's recipe and have that be made at home for you, on the spot."
But is any of it better than grandma's Austrian sugar cookies, rolled out painstakingly by hand?
"A hexagonal piece of cheese is a lot better than a square piece of cheese," Dr. Lipson giggled. "Does the ability to completely control the geometry change the taste? It's a philosophical question about the aesthetics of food."Report Typo/Error

Shayne Hale is making an official visit to Pitt this weekend and if his interaction with the Oakland Zoo is any indication, the Panthers could be close to receiving a verbal commitment from the Gateway All-America linebacker.
Hale was sitting in the front row (behind the basket) at the Pitt-Oklahoma State basketball game with Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt, defensive line coach Greg Gattuso and safety Eric Thatcher. At the 7:27 mark of the first half, Hale joined the Oakland Zoo, where the students were waving signs that read: "Shady+Shayne=BCS."
Shady would be LeSean McCoy, who the freshman tailback who committed to the Panthers last January after similar treatment from the Zoo during the Pitt-Georgetown basketball game.
Where McCoy confirmed his choice by checking an open box next to his name, Hale might have tipped his hand by donning a gold Oakland Zoo jersey during a timeout at the 3:55 mark.

DESPITE all the work being carried out and money spent in the city centre am I the only person who thinks that the whole city is looking scruffy?
In the city centre most of the pavements are filthy and need a good scrub. Outside the city walls, and sometimes inside, most of the roads are lined with weeds at the kerb edge and again where the pavement meets the walls.
I have seen weeds three feet tall in more than one place. I have seen Third World cities looking better presented than some parts of York do at present.
Before some councillor jumps up and says it is all the fault of Government cutbacks, what needs doing is not going to cost very much to put matters right.
A good dose of weedkiller followed by a small team with hand tools and a barrow about a week later would take care of the weeds. I have seen the occasional mechanical sweeper so get them on to the dirty pavements and keep on top of the job with regular visits and maintenance.
Perhaps our elected leaders should look at the city through the eyes of those who live and pay taxes here instead of dreaming up grandiose schemes to spend large sums of money on vanity projects.

U.S. Women Defeat Canada, 1-0, in First Domestic Game of the Year
It was the USA's first match on American soil this year after playing eight previous games abroad. The match was also significant as it marked the 15-year anniversary almost to the day of the USA's first-ever domestic match, which was played in Blaine, Minn., against Canada on July 7, 1986.
Cindy Parlow captained the USA in her 100th career match becoming, at 23 years old, the youngest player in U.S. history to reach that plateau. The U.S. women broke a four-game winless streak against Canada in a match they dominated from start to finish. Prior to this second game of the first ever "Independence Day Series" the U.S. had gone 0-2-2 in the last four meetings, including a 2-2 tie last Saturday in Toronto to open the two-game set.
The sun-baked crowd of 15,614 saw the U.S. team outshoot their northern neighbors 17-4, but the American women found difficulty busting through a Canadian side that was more intent on not letting in a goal than scoring one.
"Sometimes, this is the way soccer is," said U.S. head coach April Heinrichs, who left for Germany right after the match to take in the end of the European Women's Championships. "You dominate for 90 minutes and just get one goal, but one was enough."
After 77 minutes of total domination, the U.S. finally got the goal it needed after Brandi Chastain was fouled by Silvana Burtini about 35 yards from the goal. Second half substitute Mia Hamm chipped the ball over the wall to the cutting Parlow, who chested it down inside the penalty area where a mad scramble ensued. The ball popped loose to Milbrett who slammed the shot into the net from five yards out.
"Sometimes a 1-0 game is more dramatic for the fans, but we would have like to put in a few more goals for them," said Milbrett, who was named the Chevrolet Woman of the Match. "Mia had some great deception on the goal. We all thought she was going to shoot the ball, but she sent a great pass over the wall to Cindy. I think we got one shot off, but it looked like a rugby scrum in there and I just hit it with my left foot."
U.S. goalkeeper Siri Mullinix was forced into two early challenges as she came charging off her line to clear two balls in the opening minutes, but was not challenged severely until the final minutes of the games as the USA held the 1-0 lead. In the 90th minute, Christine Sinclair popped loose in the right side of the penalty area, but Mullinix was quick to slide and smother the ball. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Sharolta Nonen hit a well-struck volley from the top of the penalty area, but Mullinix full extended to her right to snag the shot.
The U.S. got most of its offense from the top two scorers in the WUSA - Milbrett and Shannon MacMillan - who combined to hit 11 of the USA 17 shots.
The USA had numerous strikes on goal during the match, but too many were from distance and did not test Canadian goalkeeper Nicci Wright. In the 7th minute, Julie Foudy played Milbrett through in the left side of the penalty area and she touched the ball around Wright to left, but with the wide-open MacMillan standing in the middle, her cross was cleared by the recovering Breanna Boyd. Canada had its lone chance of the first half in the 29th minute as Christine Latham rumbled through the right side of the U.S. defense and hit her shot into side netting from deep in right side of penalty area.
The U.S. played without starting central defender Kate Sobrero who sprained her ankle in the match vs. Canada last Tuesday. Brandi Chastain moved into the middle of the defense and played a superb match as she combined with the rest of the defense to render the Canadian strike force of Charmaine Hooper and Christine Sinclair relatively harmless.
Canada was content to clog the midfield and played organized and low-pressure defense while feeding a non-stop stream of long balls into the U.S defensive third, but the Americans were prepared for the direct tactics and stayed organized themselves the whole way.
In search of a winning goal, the USA turned up the pressure in the final 20 minutes. In the 72nd minute Kristine Lilly turned the left corner on her defender and crossed to Parlow, but her nifty heel flick at near post was blocked. In the 74th minute, Hamm went on a darting run inside penalty area, got end line and cracked a cross that was pushed out of bounds by Wright. Three minutes later, Milbrett got the winning goal.
"It was a great crowd and a great atmosphere," said Foudy. "We can play much better and we certainly can finish better, but when you get a win over a tough team like Canada, especially with all the problems they've given us lately, you've got to be pleased."
The three non-WUSA players on the roster, midfielder Aleisha Cramer (18 years old) and defenders Catherine Reddick (19) and Jena Kluegel (21) all played extremely well for the USA. Kluegel who hails from Mahtomedi, Minn., got a tremendous ovation from her home crowd when she entered the match in the 35th minute for Keri Raygor. Kluegel delighted the fans several times with timely tackles and slippery dribbles.
"I was very pleased with our younger players," added Heinrichs. "They may not be as savvy or experienced as some of our veteran players, but they played with tremendous heart and that can be the difference on the international level."
Aside from Cramer, Kluegel and Reddick, the rest of the U.S. roster will return to their WUSA clubs in preparation for weekend matches. As the WUSA season comes to a close in August, Heinrichs will pick a roster for the next national team event as the U.S. women will compete in the 2001 NIKE U.S. Women's Cup in September.
The USA will take on Germany at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill., on Sunday, Sept. 9, then travel to Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio to face Japan on Sept. 11 before finishing with an epic battle against China at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday, Sept. 16 in the first meeting between the two teams in the United States since the historic 1999 Women's World Cup Final, won by the USA in a dramatic penalty kick shootout.

The last few hurdles for the Spanish point guard who has dreams of playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves have been finally cleared according to sources. Rubio recently posted on his Twitter profile that he will now hold a news conference back in Barcelona later on in Friday to discuss his future in basketball. Basketball scores
Rubio's tweet was in Spanish and read "Goodnight everyone," "Tomorrow morning I give a press conference to say my future. A hug and see you tomorrow."
Rubio was required to get a contract agreement with the Minnesota Timberwolves and then submit it over to the NBA by May 31st in order to be eligible for the next season. The Timberwolves made their selection of Rubio as per their fifth pick back in the 2009 draft. Rubio now 20 has played the previous two seasons in Spain probably because he personally felt that he wasn't quite ready for the NBA and also because the buyout price of the Spanish league he plays for is $6 million plus which was something he couldn't pay from his own pocket.
The Timberwolves, Rubio and the Spanish team have now agreed to the required terms and will meet the 31st May deadline according to sources. However the deadline has passed around two weeks ago, but this is something that Barcelona, Rubio's reps and the Timberwolves have refused to say anything about. Basketball odds
The move for Rubio over to the NBA could not have been possible had it not been for the chain of command in America which got him the approval. FC Barcelona had to then authorize his release from the Spanish League officials who later had to forward this approval over to the FIBA, the international basketball federation. However word was out that there could be no action taken until his season with FC Barcelona concluded so the final process of approvals did not start until the team finished their championship run back Tuesday night. The last step is a letter from the FIBA and was awaited by the NBA commissioner David Stern when he got to the office yesterday morning. Basketball betting lines
Rubio has a great future in the NBA and has been compared by some to NBA legend Pete Maravich primarily because of his superior ball handling capabilities and his physical resemblance. He is 6 foot 4 and weighs 190 pounds.

St. Mary's Innovis lays off 19 as more put off health care
The recent layoffs at St. Mary's Innovis in Detroit Lakes eliminated 19 jobs, with most of the cuts involving part-time positions.
St. Mary's Innovis CEO Tom Thompson said the cuts come from the effects of the recession that is also hitting the health-care industry.
"When I meet with community groups, a lot of folks don't realize that health care is not recession-proof," Thompson said.
Attrition worked for a while, Thompson said, but it wasn't enough.
"When you're down 10 percent across the board and it's going to stay there, and stay there for several months, you have to make changes," Thompson said.
Besides layoffs, many other employees will have their hours reduced for now.
The laid-off workers received one month's severance pay, extended benefits and employment support.
Of the 19, Thompson said that three of those were hired for other openings in the company and were given a preferential status for those jobs.
He said that several factors have come into play.
The big issue is that more and more people are putting off health care to save money. That's led to a 10 percent decrease in hospital utilization, Thompson said.
"If people could push off care, they would push off care," Thompson said.
Another issue is the never-ending battle over government reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid services. That issue is nothing new for St. Mary's Innovis, Thompson said.
It still poses a problem, though, because Medicare and Medicaid patients provide more than half of St. Mary's Innovis' business.
Thompson said that St. Mary's Innovis is stuck in the middle of a situation of not being big enough or not small enough.
"We're a little bit too big to get preferential treatment from the government," Thompson said. "And we're a little bit too small to have the big bang services of the urban hospitals. It's a competitive disadvantage."
Rural hospitals get reimbursed for 1 percent more than their costs, while St. Mary's Innovis receives a set rate since it's a bit bigger, Thompson said.
St. Mary's Innovis has also suffered a multi-million dollar loss in the value of its investments in the eight months of the company's current fiscal year. Thompson said the loss is $7 million thus far.
The loss of investments hurts when it comes to financing the organization, whether that financing comes in short-term notes that are loans for cash needs that are repaid quickly, or longer-term debt for new construction.
"We need a strong organization balance sheet to get good lending rates," Thompson said.
In addition, St. Mary's Innovis took a $1 million loss for providing health care that does not get paid for. Thompson said that loss comes from those who are either uninsured or under-insured who receive health care at the hospital or the clinic.
Thompson said that the $1 million loss does not include charity care. He said that charity care is determined by income and asset requirements, and more people who haven't paid for care don't qualify for charity care.
Cutting back on capital expenses for newer medical equipment or other items that don't factor into patient safety is also part of cost-saving moves, Thompson said.
"In many instances, we're leasing things when in the past we may have acquired them," Thompson said. "Overall, we've pretty much held our capital purchasing to a minimum.
"If there is a patient care or patient safety issue, that's getting the capital. If there is something that could improve our business operations, that's going to have to wait."
A big push in the medical field to save money is electronic records. Thompson said that converting to electronic records could help. He said he's following the stimulus package closely because there is funding for electronic medical records in the law that includes incentives and penalties for converting to electronic records.
Thompson said that the merger of St. Mary's Regional Health Center and Dakota Clinic last year isn't a factor in the layoffs.
"The integration is essential to long-term sustainability of both organizations, period," Thompson said. "St. Mary's Regional Health Center could not have remained independent and viable because with integration, we are able to create our own plan for health care in this region."
Long-term, Thompson said that expansion of the St. Mary's Innovis campus is still on.
The campus is a big part of the redevelopment plan in Detroit Lakes.
However, since St. Mary's Innovis is part of Essentia Health, all capital decisions are made on a larger company-wide basis, Thompson said. He said that Essentia is working on a prioritization plan to determine when and if some projects will go forward.
"Capital is really tight, I'm not going to kid you," Thompson said.
The approval process is ongoing with the parent company, Thompson said.

Third Annual Doggie Dip
Board Matter
Recognition of Kala Quintana, President Burke Centre Board of Trustees
Madam Chairman,
I would like to recognize an individual, and a community organization that has engaged their community, strengthened neighborhood connections by bringing people together and in the process raised $700 dollars for the Fairfax County Animal Shelter.
For three years now, Kala Quintana and the Burke Centre Board of Trustees has played host to a Doggie Dip, an event in which residents bring their dogs for a swim at a local pool. The Oaks Community Pool was home to this year's festivities where more than 80 dog owners brought their best friend for a day of swimming and watersliding. More importantly, this gathering, in the words of attendee Ana Ka'ahanui, was able to bring "not only dog owners, but the community, together."
Another important goal of this annual event is to ensure that all Burke Centre pets are properly licensed. Each year several folks show up, unaware of the requirement, but they go that day to get their dogs licensed so that they can be allowed to swim.
Therefore, Madam Chairman, without objection, I ask that the Board of Supervisors direct the Office of Public Affairs to invite Ms. Quintana as well as Lauren Williamson and Meghan Hoffman of the Burke Conservancy to the October 19 meeting to be recognized for organizing this event, and so that they may present the funds raised for the Fairfax County Animal Shelter.

Maker of routers, Cisco is trying hard to make something else and has decided that it will be a damn fine idea to push itself into the server market in the Spring. Analysts say that when Cisco's gear hits the shos it could cause huge competitive reactions from both IBM and HP.
Cisco said its servers will optimise virtualisation software and be a new, potentially disruptive class of hardware and software management systems that span an entire data centre. The new servers will hit the shops in March apparently.
The story has been kicking around for a while but so far no date for these new servers has been announced.

The newly-found photo of 46-year-old Thomas Brodnicki, who allegedly made death threats against the 'Who Says' singer, is taken from an arrest in 2008 in Illinois.
A look at the man who made death threats against Selena Gomez's has been unleashed. Shortly after it was reported that the "Who Says" singer received a restraining order against Thomas Brodnicki, Entertainment Tonight brought forth a mug shot of the 46-year-old that was taken from an arrest in 2008 in Illinois.
19-year-old Selena filed for and won a restraining order against Thomas after he told his psychiatrist he was going to kill her. The restraining order states that the man, who has a criminal history of stalking, has to stay 100 yards from the former "Wizards of Waverly Place" star at all times. It also protects the songstress' mother, step-father and assistant.
According to legal documents, Thomas was picked up for mental evaluation after he allegedly made threat to "scratch people's eyes out on the street." During his mental evaluation, he reportedly admitted to a mental health professional that he "entertained thoughts of killing" the girlfriend of Justin Bieber.

• England make their highest T20 score, 214/7
• Wright, Morgan, Bairstow, Buttler pepper tiny boundaries
• Kiwi fielding dreadful as they shell five chances
• Highly impressive England catch near-perfectly
• Result never in doubt as wickets fall regularly
• Broad takes career-best 4/24. Finn 39/3. Wright two-fer
ENGLAND (217/4) BEAT NZ (174/9) BY 40 RUNS That is about as good as it gets in a T20, isn't it? England's power hitters smashed 15 sixes on a small ground, and then caught everything that came their way. The bowlers had a plan (back of a length, no width) and they stuck to it. Stuart Broad rotated his bowlers well and led from the front with a career-best four wickets. Finn took three and Luke Wright was a bonus with two wickets in four cheap-ish overs. The Kiwis dropped five catches, aiding and abetting England to their highest T20 score, and there was never likely to be any coming back from that. Good stuff from England on a very small ground, they go into the second match of the series, on Tuesday in Hamilton, in fine fettle.
Stuart Broad agrees with the TV interviewer that "this is the most complete T20 performance under his captaincy." Quite so. The Kiwis have it all to do, it will be another small ground in Hamilton so expect plenty more big hitting. Join us from 05.30 GMT on Tuesday for that. Have a great sporting weekend, cheers.
Martyn Sissons: "Really enjoyed tonight at Eden Park - good atmosphere and a solid all-round show from England. Perhaps it would have been different had the Kiwis held their catches but who's bothered! Good fun but not real cricket is it?!"
T.A. Rees, Kanahooka: "Great win, for the life of me, what has Patel done to deserve selection in the team ? Overweight, rubbish bat & bowler, surely there are many young talented players in county cricket who would provide more input into the side." I must say I think that's rather harsh, Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms Rees. His fitness has improved a great deal, and he does offer balance to the side as an (admittedly faux-ish) all-rounder. But yes, he's clearly one player the selectors must be looking at.
OVER 20: NZ 174/9 (Hira 20* McClenaghan 10*) Lively last over. Jade Dernbach, bowling quickly and with hostility, finds a game opponent in plucky number 11 McClenaghan. The tailender came down the pitch and got a crack on the helmet for his troubles. Four leg byes off the lid. Dernbach, steamed up, then suffers the indignity of being scooped for four by the number 11, who runs quite close to the bowler. No doubt totally accidentally, Jade's next ball is a beamer. Anyhow, 15 off the over altogether, which has got Dernbach's blood up, but it's all academic really and England have romped home in some style.
OVER 19: NZ 159/9 (Hira 19* McClenaghan 1*) Broad cannot shift the last man but there are just four runs off the over and he has a career-best four for 24. Kiwis need a mere 56 off the last over.
WICKET! Hira c Patel b Broad 4 Good from Broad, straight and short of a length. Hira backs away and tries to give himself room, manages only to slap it up in the air for Samit at cover. FOW 156/9 StuBo in with a good shout of a five-fer here, he's got four balls at Hira and the number 11. Batsmen cross during the catch. FOW 156/9
"Is this sort of cricket my idea of a good time?" asks Graeme Whittaker. "Not sure if this email will reach you before the Kiwis are all out :~} Great fun although a bit 'wham bang thank you Ma'am' for me. Rather like comparing banger racing with the Le Mans 24 hour. Anyway if it's good for cricket in general it can't be all bad. Thanks for a great blog."
OVER 18: NZ 155/8 (Hira 16* Boult 4*) Dernbach, eight off the over, largely due to a thick outisde edge for four from Hira.
OVER 17: NZ 147/8 (Hira 11* Boult 1*) The spinner Ronnie Hira has a bit of fun, crunching Finn sqaure for four. And now he heaves a pull away and sub fielder Joe Root catches it on the boundary, sadly for him he steps on the rope as he does so. England's sole flawed bit of catching today. Finn ends his four overs with 39/3. England are rushing to get their overs in, by the way. Crowd have gone quiet.
WICKET! Ellis c Wright b Finn 4 Finny back in, and this is turning into a bit of a rout as Ellis succeeds only in slapping a short off cutter into the hands of that man Luke Wright at point. FOW 135/8
OVER 16: NZ 135/7 (Ellis 4* Hira 0*) Good stuff from Luke Wright, he's had a big game with bat and ball. His over goes for just five and he finishes with four for 29 to go with a handy 42. He has been the leading light of a really impressive England performance.
WICKET! Nathan McCullum c Buttler b Wright 3 Nathan tries to pull but manages only to spoon it up in the air. Easy for the keeper and it's FOW 134/7
OVER 15: NZ 130/6 (Nathan McCullum 2* Ellis 1*) Two wickets, and now two new batsmen: that three run over from Broad has surely won it for his side.
WICKET! Franklin c Buttler b Broad 8 And it's done the trick right away! Bangs it in, Franklin backs away to try and force it, not too sure what he was thinking if I am honest.... Edge through to the keeper for a simple chance and it is FOW 127/5
.... and then.....
WICKET! Munro b Broad 28 And now a second wicket in the over! Munro plays all around a slow off-cutter and is bowled. FOW 128/6
OVER 14: NZ 127/4 (Munro 28* Franklin 8*) Tredwell will be annoyed with himself, he's gone for two sixes in that over. The first one, fair enough, good shot down the ground to a decent ball. But a poor full toss off the last ball of the over is a gift on this ground. 16 off the over... a couple more of those and who knows... Broad is bringing himself back on.
OVER 13: NZ 111/4 (Munro 20* Franklin 0*) Big wicket for England. Well done Luke. Only seven runs off the over, as well. Five overs, one for 42 from "fifth bowler" combo Samit and Luke. Handy, in the game context.
WICKET! Guptill c Broad b Wright 44 Munro slams Wright for a six - but now here's some drama! The same player drives the ball hard into his own boot and it is caught by the bowler himself. After lengthy replays, the umpires decide that he hit it into the ground - or, at least, they decide that they cannot be sure he didn't. No joy for Wright on that occasion, but this is a good over, with some handy blockhole bowling. Guptill, under huge pressure now from the scoreboard, tries to dig one out and succeeds only in driving it to Broad at long off. England's catching has been as impeccable as New Zealand's was horrid. FOW 11/4
OVER 12: NZ 104/3 (Guptill 44* Munro 13*) Tredwell rattles through an eight run over. 111 needed from 48 balls
OVER 11: NZ 96/3 (Guptill 38* Munro 11*) A very handy bonus for England as Luke Wright gets through four dot balls against Munro. Yes, he does manage to hit a d two and a six off the last two balls of the over, but eight an over is just fine from the fourth seamer/sixth bowler.
OVER 10: NZ 88/3 (Guptill 38* Munro 3*) The new batsman, Colin Munro, has the bear's share of five singles with Guptill, but the latter hits Samit for a mighty six over midwicket to make it 11 off the over all told. Kiwis need 127 off the second half of the innings and I'll give you ten to one on them if you like.
OVER 9: NZ 77/3 (Guptill 30*) The wicket came off the last ball of the over. 23,000 people in at the ground, a really good atmosphere. That's encouraging for NZ cricket.
WICKET! Ross Taylor c Bairstow b Finn 13 Back to Finn and this is a really good over for England. Guptill clumps a ball down the ground and it is inches short of being a six, but there are only six runs off the first five balls. Maybe feeling the pressure of the scoreboard, Taylor tries to pull Finn off the front foot but doesn't quite get it right. Bairstow has time to steady himself and take a well-judged catch. That's FOW 773/
OVER 8: NZ 71/2 (Guptill 25* Ross Taylor 12*) Awful start from Samit, a legside wide followed by another legside wide, but he recovers pretty well and the batsmen are not able to line him up. A seven run over represents a good escape from that position. (144 runs needed from 12 overs, RRR 12.00)
OVER 7: NZ 64/2 (Guptill 24* Ross Taylor 9*) Luke Wright. Just four runs off his first three, but then Guptill launches him down the park for perhaps the biggest six of the day. Two dot balls though, to end the over. Ten off it. The Kiwis plugging away.
OVER 6: NZ 54/2 (Guptill 17* Ross Taylor 6*) Jade Dernbach back on, Broad rotating his bowlers like a giddy top. Some good stuff, some excellent stuff and some poor stuff, bit of a Dernbach in microcosm. Beats Taylor with a snorter, and then serves him up a wide one for the batsman to crack away. Four. Eight off the over all told.
OVER 5: NZ 46/2 (Guptill 15* Ross Taylor 0*) Earlier in the over, McCullum had pulled Finn away for four, and the bowler had protested to the umpire when a bouncer was called wide. The new batsman, Ross Taylor, gets an enthusiastic ovation on his return to the team. No time for Taylorto play himself back into international cricket: they need 11.25 an over.
WICKET! Brendon McCullum c Morgan b Finn 10 Brilliant catch from Eoin, and that might well be game ball. McCullum goes for a huge shot, gets a big slice on it and it flies very high in the air. Eoin Morgan runs back and catches it at deep backward point, superb catch and great composure.The mighty Brendon falls for ten and England are now red-hot favourites. FOW 46/2
OVER 4: NZ 38/1 (Guptill 12* Brendon McCullum 5*) The skipper, one of the most dangerous players the format has seen, comes to the crease and immediately pulls Broad away for a savage four. 13 off the over with the wicket.
WICKET! Rutherford c Tredwell b Broad 18 Six and out for the boy Rutherford. Broad gets too full, serves it up in the slot and Rutherford lofts it back over the bowler for six. But his fun is over next ball, trying to pull a ball that was too close to him and he has spooned it up for a regulation catch. FOW 31/1
OVER 3: NZ 25/0 (Rutherford 12* Guptill 11*) Jade Dernbach into the attack. You never know quite what you're going to get, but in this instance you get a pretty good over. Four good tight balls, one of which beats Guptill outside off. Width off ball five and he's able to cut it away for a couple, and Dernbach offers him width again off ball six, allowing him to cut a four. Even so, seven off the over is useful.
OVER 2: NZ 18/0 (Rutherford 12* Guptill 5*) Good over from skipper Broad, only five runs off it. A couple more of those and this mountain of runs will be insurmountable for the New Zealanders. Broad, quite correctly, keeping it short of a length and not giving the batsmen any full balls to swing through.
OVER 1: NZ 13/0 (Rutherford 10* Guptill 3*) The Kiwi openers, the experienced Martin Guptill and the new boy Hamish Rutherford, start with a single apiece. Hint of a run out calamity as Guptill turns for a second run but they get back okay. Finn flicks the stumps with his knee third ball (sigh) and Rutherford flicks the ball away off his pads. Four. If Finn does his knee thing again, it will be a dead ball, as per an agreement with the umps prior to the match. Now a good shot from Rutherford, a drive through mid off for four, and with another one and a two, it's a handy start for the Kiwis.
07.40 Here come the Kiwis then, and they face the daunting prospect of chasing down 215. Steve Finn will bowl.
ENGLAND 214/7 Quite fun, I suppose, but I personally prefer a bit more balance between bat and ball. On a ground with absurdly short straight boundaries, England were able to bash 16 fours and 15 sixes on their way to their highest T20 score. And given that the last three overs went for four, seven and 12 respectively, it could even have been worse. The Kiwis didn't help their cause by dropping a frankly pathetic five catches. Even still, on this tiny ground on a true, drop-in pitch, New Zealand are maybe not out of it yet. We'll see how they get on in a sec.
OVER 20: ENG 214/7 (Buttler 32* Tredwell 0*) Boult is the lucky man to bowl the last over. Decent stuff in the main, a single to Buttler and then...
WICKET! Broad c B McCullum b Boult 4 Skipper Broad goes for the big one, gets a top edge and McCullum makes sure with the gloves, running back to take a good chance.
The batsmen cross during that, and Buttler is able to slam a length ball over long on. Now the last ball. he drives it for four - and it's a no ball as well. Oh dear, bowler. Still, he saves face by bowling Buttler with the free-hit delivery and that is the end of that, 12 off the last one.
OVER 19: ENG 202/6 (Buttler 21* Broad 4*) StuBo comes in and lofts it down the ground... Franklin runs round and catches it. But he's rightly worried that his momentum is going to carry him over the rope, so he tries to flick it back up.... and ends up just dropping it and booting it over the line for four. That's drop number five. England have now equalled their highest score in a T20. Still, only seven off the over, which is handy enough at this stage.
WICKET! Patel c B McCullum b Ellis 2 It's been a feast today but poor old Samit has only been allowed a bit of Ryvita with low-fat cottage cheese. Couple of singles, but then he smears a ball up in the air and it's easy for the keeper. FOW 197/6
OVER 18: ENG 195/5 (Buttler 19* Patel 1*) A wicket, but more importantly perhaps, jsut four runs off the over. Very handy in the context of the game. Well bowled, Trent Boult.
WICKET! Bairstow c Guptill b Boult 38 Good over from Trent Boult. He manages to keep England down to three singles from the first four balls, which is about as good as it is going to get on this ground, and then has a wicket when Boult chips it down the ground. Straight down the throat of Guptill and he, unlike some of his fellows, makes no mistake. Fun 38 from Bairstow, England on track for a huge score. Already their highest T20 score against New Zealand. FOW 195/5
OVER 17: ENG 191/4 (Bairstow 37* Buttler 17*) Two sixes for Buttler, one over cow and one down the ground. I'm not even sure he middled either of them. Is this what people want from their cricket these days? Anyway. One very nice shot in the over, a flat hard cover drive that lands perhaps a foot short of the rope.
OVER 16: ENG 173/4 (Bairstow 36* Buttler 0*) The wicket was off ball five, the in-form Jos Buttler comes in and watches Bairstow pinch the strike with a single off ball six.
WICKET Morgan c Taylor b Hira 46 Finally! Finally the Kiwis take a catch. Morgan goes for the big drive, slices it off the outside edge and Ross Taylor clings on to a simple dolly. Amused panicky/relieved look from him as he pouches it. FOW 172/4 That's the end of a spanking 26-ball 42 from Eoin.
OVER 15: ENG 166/3 (Morgan 45* Bairstow 30*) Oh dear me. What is up with the Kiwi fielding? Morgan gets a thick edge which loops gently to backward point for a regulation chance, a real sitter actually. That's the fourth drop! Perhaps losing it in the sun, McClenaghan just watches it go through his hands. Awful. That goes for four, and Morgan rubs salt in the wound by hitting the next one for six. Grim stuff for bowler Nathan McC.
OVER 14: ENG 153/3 (Morgan 33* Bairstow 29*) Ronnie Hira back into the attack, decent stuff apart from one leg-side stinker. A mere nine runs from the over, practically a famine in this little game.
OVER 13: ENG 144/3 (Morgan 26* Bairstow 27*) McClenaghan, the pick of the Kiwi bowlers today, completes his set. Good over, varying his lengths well and he manages to keep the batsmen quiet apart from one six, pulled over fine leg by Morgan. Still, four overs 1 for 29 is a good effort in the conditions.
OVER 12: ENG 133/3 (Morgan 18* Bairstow 24*) The mayhem continues as Bairstow swings Ellis away for six. Now he Harrow Drives the ball past the keeper for four, hard lines on the bowler. Coupla singles, a bouncer called a wide. And now another drop! The third of the innings, although this was a very tough one, Ronnie Hira charging in and diving in front of him, low. Tough chance at midwicket and Bairstow has his second let-off of the over.
OVER 11: ENG 118/3 (Morgan 16* Bairstow 12*) Nathan McCullum is the next lucky man to have a bowl. He'll be reasonably happy with nine off the over: a reverse swept single for JB and a six down the ground are the points of note.
OVER 10: ENG 109/3 (Morgan 15* Bairstow 4*) Really poor cricket from New Zealand. The left-arm seamer James Franklin into the attack and he's bowling without a mid off. Therefore, pitching it up is just sheer idiocy. Morgan is able to just pat the first two balls of the over down the ground for easy fours. For variety's sake, he now hits a six down the ground. This is real fish in a barrel stuff.
OVER 9: ENG 95/3 (Morgan 1* Bairstow 4*) The new man Jonny B is on his way soon enough with a pulled four.
WICKET Lumb c Rutherford b McClenaghan 22 Clever bit of bowling from McClenaghan, who has been impressive on this brief showing. Lumb, who hasn't faced much of the strike, has not really got his timing going and misses with a pull or two. McClenaghan drops it in short and Lumb gloves it to short fine leg. FOW 91/3
OVER 8: ENG 89/2 (Lumb 21*) The wicket came off the last ball of the over, which went for 18. Morgan comes in, and the Kiwis are turning back to McClenaghan.
WICKET! Wright c Hira b Ellis 42 Oh no, poor Ross Taylor. Got a huge cheer from the crowd when his name was read out, but now he's dropped another! Nice to have you back in the side and all, Ross, but y'know... Andrew Ellis comes on with his medium pace and is promptly lofted down the ground for six by Lumb. Now Lumb hits him down the ground again, and Ross drops the chance at long on. Wright adds insult to injury with a four and a six, both pulled, but now there is some compensation for NZ as Wright nails a ball straight to Hira a deep midwicket, who clings on to a stinging chance. Enjoyable thrash from Wright - just 20 balls for his 42. FOW 89/2
OVER 7: ENG 71/1 (Lumb 14* Wright 31*) Wright drives sweetly down the ground for six. And is then dropped at cover! The guilty man is Ross Taylor. Hit hard, but still.
OVER 6: ENG 62/1 (Lumb 13* Wright 23*) Gosh, who'd be a bowler, eh? These boundaries are tiny. Wright hits Hira for a six down the ground, in fairness this was a top class shot and deserved a six anywhere. But now a heave gives him a four, then a single, before Lumb gets in on the act by simply flipping the ball over square leg for a cheap four, and then chipping down the ground for a gentle six. The powerplay comes to an end with a punishing 21-run over.
OVER 5: ENG 41/1 (Lumb 3* Wright 12*) Excellent stuff from Wright! Lofts Boult down the ground for four, and then clubs away a six.
OVER 4: ENG 30/1 (Lumb 3* Wright 1*) England's most experienced T20 player apart from the skipper Broad, Luke Wright, is off the mark second ball.
WICKET! Hales st B McCullum b Hira 21 Canny bowling change from Brendon M, he brings the left-arm spinner Ronnie Hira on. Hales drives him for a crisp four but then fails to pick the slower ball. He comes down the pitch, is beaten in the flight and that's a regualtion stumping. Hales goes for an easy-on-the eye 21. FOW 29/1
OVER 3: ENG 25/0 (Lumb 3* Hales 17*) A second useful over from McClenaghan. Very pleasing drive through off gives Hales four, but Lumb is swinging and missing.
OVER 2: ENG 19/0 (Lumb 2* Hales 12*) And that over has got England going! Another left-armer, the debutant Trent Boult, delivers it. He begins inauspiciously: a wide down legside that runs away to the boundary. He's also the victim of a big six from Hales, pulled away mightily over the longest part of the ground. Good recovery from the bowler though, he completes the over with three dots. Run-out half chance as Hales drives to a fielder and sets off.
OVER 1: ENG 6/0 (Lumb 2* Hales 4*) Lumb's off the mark right away with a push for one, and now a pleasing back foot drive from Hales gets him three to deep cover. A good over from McClenaghan, nothing in the slot - you cannot really pitch it up with these very short straight boundaries - and Hales endures two dots before smearing a pull for a single. Quite reasonable pace as well, from the 26-year-old seamer, who is playing his fourth T20 international. While at Central DIstricts, he took five for Emerging New Zealand v England Lions (inc Trott and Morgan). Now plays for Auckland.
05.58 First and foremost though, it is over to Alex Hales and Michael Lumb, who stride now to the wicket. The left-armer Mitchell McClenaghan will bowl the first over.
05.55 Also worthy of note: England's keeping will be done by Jos Buttler, Bairstow the other part-time-and-a-bit keeper in the line-up misses out on that role.
05.51 And let's get those teams then that Mr Pringle alludes to:
England: Hales, Lumb, Wright, Morgan, Buttler (k), Bairstow, Patel, Broad*, Tredwell, Finn, Dernbach
New Zealand: Guptill, Rutherford, B. McCullum* (k), Taylor, Munro, Franklin, N. McCullum, Ellis, Hira, Boult, McClenaghan
The eagle-eyed will note the presence in the NZ side of Rutherford. That's Hamish Rutherford, a 23-year-old left-handed batsman who is the son of Ken, attractive if frustrating batting talent for them in the late 1980s/early 1990s. He once scored 199 between lunch and tea at the Scarborough Festival.
05.50 They're expecting 30,000 folks in to watch this game in Auckland. One thing that strikes immediately is how short the straight boundaries are. I believe 55 yards at one end - that's barely more than a little chip with today's bats. Could be a big-scoring game.
05.45 Morning all and welcome to our live blog coverage of England's tour to New Zealand, whose first competitive action will be a three-match Twenty20 series. We're in Auckland, New Zealand have won the toss and they are going to bowl first.

With fourth album "Keeper of the Flame," the Hiatus chose to emphasize digital production, moving away from the more organic style of natural instrumentation found on its previous release, the "Horse Riding" EP. The change comes alongside a reshuffle in the band's membership and has resulted in a more dramatic atmosphere overall.
Album opener "Thirst" features danceable beats and techno-inspired keyboard sequences, making the switch to electronics somewhat of a mission statement for the rest of the listen. "Something Ever After" and "Unhurt" both begin with keyboard in a style reminiscent of tracks off of previous full-length "A World Of Pandemonium," but the guitars are less dominant here. A similar effect permeates the album highlighted by closing track "Burn To Shine," which features delayed keyboards echoing through an ambient space. All in all, the Hiatus has made a pretty good jump from the mosh pit to the dancefloor.

Rochelle McLean posted a photo of 2-month-old Ava watching television with her dad A.J. McLean last Sunday (January 20).
She wrote on Instagram: "Watching the Patriots LOSE with daddy @skulleeroz #sundayfundayonthecouch #homesweethome"
The Backstreet Boys singer – who recently turned 35 – has said because of his daughter he has kept sober.
He told In Touch magazine, "I will forever be an alcoholic and an addict in recovery as long as I live. It's an ongoing struggle, a daily thing. (I've been) trying to be a good husband and a good father and deal with life on life's terms.
"There is a lot going on. It's been overwhelming. I can't stress how much my daughter is an inspiration to stay sober. When I come home and she opens those big blue eyes at me, it's the most amazing feeling I could ever feel. I'm not looking for sympathy. It's a constant struggle, and it's not as easy as you think."

Ecological engineering: a new direction for agricultural pest management
Ecological engineering has recently emerged as a paradigm for considering pest management approaches that are based on cultural practices and informed by ecological knowledge rather than on high technology approaches such as synthetic pesticides and genetically engineered crops (Gurr et al. 2004a). This article provides a brief summary of ecological engineering for arthropod pest management and contrasts it with its controversial cousin, genetic engineering. The development of ecological engineering is explored, ranging from a simple first approximation that diversity is beneficial, to contemporary understanding that diversity can have adverse effects on pest management. This requires that the functional mechanisms that lead components of biodiversity to suppress pest activity are better understood and exploited. Pest suppression via ecological engineering is placed in the broader context of 'ecosystem services' provided by farmland biodiversity including nitrogen fixation and the conservation of pollinator species and wildlife.

Will Narendrabhai miss Arun Shourie?
A vociferous section of BJP's support base, especially those pejoratively described as "Internet Hindus", are clearly disappointed that Arun Shourie did not make it to the cabinet. In last few weeks, Shourie's ubiquity in TV studios and his cleverly done soundbytes on the likely contours of Modi Sarkar, delivered in his characteristically animated style, created an impression that his entry to Modi's key team was a foregone conclusion. But seasoned BJP watchers never viewed his elevation as inevitable.
Shourie, without an iota of doubt, is one of India's top notch public intellectuals. An entire generation of BJP supporters, with any sort of pretense to deep thinking on socio-political issues, owes it to this intrepid man for shaping their worldview. Arguably, Shourie can be described as the intellectual progenitor of rightwing resurgence that took shape in 90's, the apogee of which was the massive mandate BJP won on May 16th.
His dense prose may have been uncharitably described as pamphleteering by the conceited Nehruvian Intellectual establishment but Shourie's books and hundreds of lengthy op-ed interventions continue to constitute the core manifesto of right-wing nationalist discourse. His extraordinarily poignant personal situation (struggle is eloquently captured in one of his books) justifiably adds to the larger than life image that he enjoys among his die-hard supporters.
But his political modus operandi has been slightly murky and truth be told does not add any luster to this much feted public intellectual.
After BJP's humiliating defeat in the 2009 election, Shourie went public on his disenchantment with the party. He turned acrimonious and acerbic. While some of the reasons that Shourie attributed to electoral catastrophe that befell the party in 2009 sounded valid, it cannot not be denied that Shourie was very much a key part of BJP decision making group till the run up to 2009 elections.
BJP's shrill opposition to Indo-US Nuclear agreement created an image deficit – party unfortunately came to be viewed as a disruptionist formation hell-bent on sabotaging India's energy agenda even as the venal dispensation of Manmohan Singh managed to win the battle of PR perception. Shourie was among those who shaped the maximalist position that the BJP pursued in opposing the deal. The wisdom in relentlessly pursuing an issue with near zero political capital and complete inability to reflect BJP's nuanced position pointed to total lack of connect with public sentiments.
Over the last 2-3 years, save for the occasional appearance in non-political platforms, where he is much in demand for impromptu speeches interspersed with sharp wit and cerebral content, Shourie had pretty much led a reclusive existence. For all their flaws, party's much reviled establishmentarians and ground level cadres were waging a spirited fight against the criminality of UPA but Shourie was mostly missing in action.
And occasionally, when he did emerge out of woodwork, he slightly embarrassed the party, by what can be construed as the proverbial washing the dirty linen in public. While normal norms are generally meant for lesser mortals and it is important that freewheeling views of a freethinker like Shourie should be encouraged (serves as a moral compass), it might have been possible that influential party leaders and section of Sangh were not too amused.
A very smart man that he is, Shourie never completely burnt his bridges with the larger movement. He never castigated the Sangh and had the foresight to tentatively invest in the idea of Modi. It is generally known that Modi is a qualified admirer of Shourie and known to seek his counsel on matters related to statecraft. So why didn't Shourie still make it to the ministry despite this? Several plausible theories have been floated.
One theory is that an influential section of BJP and Sangh was not too excited at the prospect of Shourie coming back to the thick of things as quickly as it could have happened. And was it possible that this opposition found resonance with Modi? As a longtime observer of Modi, one constant feature of his politics has been the emphasis he has placed on restoring the primacy of party worker and trust he places on capabilities of loyal party workers. Besides he has clearly shown a preference for deferring to collective wisdom of party leadership.
Another theory, though too many people are skeptical about it – Shourie backing out on his own volition as his personal situation did not permit him the luxury of a full time role. I am personally inclined to believe that this may have been case, though some of his supporters are convinced that this theory is the handiwork of spin-doctors, close to a powerful BJP leader who is known to have a nurtured a good media ecosystem.
Yet another theory that is gaining traction is that a key portfolio has been kept warm for Shourie and he will be inducted after a 'cooling the heels' period. Technicalities related to finding a Rajya Sabha seat (BJP has limited options here) might have also delayed his entry by a month or two.
As things stand now, his absence is unlikely to have any short term implications in terms of ability to deliver governance. Unlike in the past, BJP under Modi comes across as very well prepared and has already hit the ground running. But how this entire issue shapes up will be watched keenly by party supporters.
Shourie within the government would have been potent. Of course Shourie's transformative ideas and deep understanding of system would have proven an invaluable asset to Team Modi. But more importantly Modi's communication task would have been made easier given enormous credibility that Shourie carries with a section of the middle class and business community. It's always good to remember that massive verdicts can turn sour quickly. And several key members of Modi cabinet are those who are in no position to win any popularity contest, either within party or outside.
This government will be all about Narendrabhai but Shourie's reassuring presence could have helped provide the restless supporters of the party that extra bit of solace.

A Cardigan man was nearly four times the drink drive limit when he crashed his mother's car into a wall, a court has heard.
David James Everett, aged 42, of Flat 3, 6 Pendre, appeared before Aberystwyth magistrates to face four charges, via video link from Swansea prison, on Wednesday.
He pleaded guilty to driving without a licence or third party insurance, aggravated vehicle taking and driving while over the legal alcohol limit.
The court heard that police received a report that a drunk driver had crashed into a church wall at Aberystwyth Road, Cardigan, on July 27.
The arrived at the scene at 3.11pm and found a Ford Fiesta in a hedge. The defendant was slumped in a chair in the back room of a nearby store, and was unable to walk in a straight line when escorted out by police.
He gave a reading of 132mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath when tested at the police station, the legal limit is 35mg.
Police found he had an expired driving licence, and the following day he admitted taking his mother's car without her knowledge.
The court heard that Everett had a previous conviction for drink driving, and had been recalled to prison after the incident, as he was on licence for robbery.
Alan Lewis, defending, said his client had alcohol problems, and had driven to Aldi while intoxicated.
He said: "Alcohol has ravaged his later years. He has admitted that and sought help."
Magistrates said the alcohol level was 'extremely high'.
The presiding magistrate added: "They are very serious offences indeed. This is one of the highest readings we have seen in this court in recent years."
Everett was given a 16 week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, and disqualified from driving for five years. He was also ordered to complete an alcohol activity requirement and to take an extended retest before getting his licence back.
He will also have to pay a £80 victim surcharge and £631.22 compensation.

Nicole Thoens scored Linfield's final goal with less than 10 minutes remaining.
Final statistics favored the visitors with UPS outshooting Linfield 42-14.
Wildcats goalkeeper Erika Phillipo was credited with 10 saves in her collegiate debut.

If At First You Don't Succeed…
NAP Field Staff member, Brian Reynolds, tagged his first IL whitetail buck in November 2009. Brian was using the 360 Capture Rest, Bloodrunner 3-blade and QuikSpin vanes.
This past November found me once again back in the Land of Lincoln bow hunting for my favorite quarry, the Whitetail Deer. I was trying to redeem myself for a miss the prior year on a giant 8-point buck that still haunts me to this day.
The best I can recall, it was one of those perfect Midwest Whitetail set ups that a hunter from Northern Maine doesn't get to experience too often. Second week of November, warm weather breaks, cold front comes in, blind call, buck comes to call, continues to within 30 yards, turns broadside… it was all going according to the script. I couldn't believe my luck, and I couldn't believe that I hadn't somehow screwed all of this up by dropping something, or losing track of one of my appendages in my glee and clanking something off of my tree stand.
The way I remember it, it was like I was watching some other hunter on tv, you know how it goes…everything working in the hunters favor and you think to yourself…"Shoot the darn thing already, will ya?" Well, as it often happens…glee turned to disaster in a millisecond. I came to full draw, settled my pin on the beast's chest, marked a mental notch on my imaginary hunting "belt" and hit the release.
Wait….what was that noise? Why did I just see a piece of something go flying behind the buck's rear end? Why is he turning inside out and running away? It all happened that quickly.
Turns out, my clear shooting lane wasn't all that clear. I managed to drive my arrow off the one and only branch, which turned out to be more like a twig, in my shooting lane. I watched the object of my obsession disappear over a ridge, never to be seen by these eyes again.
But this story isn't really about the one that got away, it's about getting back after it and making amends for a hunt gone bad. It's also about showing the no quit attitude that makes the hunting lifestyle one that I am proud to live. So, as I mentioned at the beginning of this article, I was back in Illinois bow hunting Whitetails.
This was my third year hunting in Illinois with my good friend Jason. I'm still getting used to the lingo used to describe all of the different land forms in Illinois that we don't have in Maine, at least not in the part of Maine I live in. Draw? Saddle? Finger? That's all foreign to me. Where I live we have flat land and mountains. That's it.
Jason dropped me off and gave me the instructions to walk down into the draw we were standing at the head of, go to that finger over there and climb up in that tree, the plan was to give me a perfect shot of any deer that may "side hill" the draw. So I watched Jason disappear into the golden landscape that is Southern Illinois in November and searched for my spot again before I trudged noisily through the fallen oak leaves. Somehow my "spot" disappeared just as Jason had. Honestly, it all looks the same to me. It's all the same color, the trees look the same, there are seemingly a million fingers…I wasn't lost, but I didn't know where Jason wanted me to be either. So, I picked my own spot, made a makeshift ground blind and settled in for the morning hunt.
Not long after that I felt my phone vibrate, it's a text message from Jason that read: "4 does headed your way. Don't miss." Thanks buddy! No pressure!
The does worked their way around the draw just as predicted. It was a lead mature doe, another smaller doe, a yearling and a lamb (Maine-speak for "fawn"). I wanted the lead doe, as I've never taken a mature doe with stick and string to this point in my archery hunting career. As she worked around I ranged a tree that I thought would intersect her path. Thirty-Five yards, slightly up hill. I can make that shot, or so I thought.
I came to full draw quietly as my arrow rested at the ready in my new 360 Capture Rest (that I had installed myself I might add). Out of the corner of my eye I noticed that the yearling doe was about 15 yards to my left, and she had made me. I glanced back at the lead doe, and she had stopped where I thought I had ranged and stood looking at the yearling. She was broadside, I settled my pin on her vitals and touched off my arrow sending my 3-Blade BloodRunner towards it's target. I heard a big "SLAP" and watched the doe turn and head up over the ridge, the others soon followed as I wait to hear her crash…..and wait…nothing. I couldn't see anything from where I was that indicated a miss on my part, so I got up and headed over to where the doe was standing. When I got closer I could see that the Blood Runner had connected…on a young beech tree.
This near miss on a mature doe resulted in a clean kill on a young beech tree.
I quickly realized that the doe was standing about 10 yards closer to me than I had thought. It was a clean miss, right over her back. That's good and bad. Good it was a clean miss, but bad that I had missed what amounts to a "chip" shot in archery terms, again.
Jason had heard my shot and came to investigate what transpired. I won't go into detail about the conversation we had, but let's just say that I had become "It" in camp for the next 24 hours. All tomfoolery and playful ribbing aside, I was beginning to worry about my shooting skills. Surely I practiced shooting 4 or 5 times a week, from elevation, at 3-D targets, in different settings etc. However, it was becoming clear that I was having some trouble hitting a live deer...or was it all in my head?
The next morning came and this time I was in the EXACT tree that Jason had picked out, he made sure of it! As the sun came up a young bobcat worked in and directly under my stand…don't see that in Maine very often. I was unsure of how that might affect the rest of my mornings hunt. Although it was a chilly, bright and sunny morning in the hills of Southern Illinois there wasn't much deer activity. This pretty much seemed like a recipe for good deer movement I thought, especially since we had endured 5 or 6 days of above average, to hot temperatures. I began to think about the miss on the doe, and how I may have boogered the area up.
Then I got a text…"You see him?" I look up and see horns coming my way. I made the decision not to count points so I didn't mesmerize myself and lose focus.
I made a quick check of all my equipment to make sure that I wouldn't have any further unforeseen mishaps. As the buck worked my way he stopped and looked like he was going to head off down into the bottom on the opposite side of the ridge. I reached for my doe estrous can call and turned it once. He looked my way and continued on in my direction. He stopped again, and looked down into the draw/bottom that I was hunting over. However, if he goes that way I won't have a shot as he would be too far away. I reached behind me and "uphill" with the can and turned it again. His ears perked up and he turned yet again and headed in my direction. I ranged a few spots along his path so that I'd know what distance I'd be shooting if I stopped him here, or if he decided to stop there.
Yet again, I find myself in Illinois, with a buck in bow range, and everything going according to the plan. As he hits the 30 yard mark I decide that the time is now to draw my bow‑‑I figured it was all academic from here. One problem though … remember I mentioned it was cold? Well, turns out it was cold enough that I couldn't draw my bow. I had "buck fever". I had read about this happening to other hunters, but had never experienced the phenomenon myself.
Still, I've never been a quitter, and made the quick decision that I wasn't going to start being one now. I mustered every bit of strength that I could, and came to full draw. I quickly settled the pin on the sweet spot and sent the BloodRunner on its' way. I heard the tell tale thwack of the arrow as it collided with the buck's chest, then as he kicked his hind legs and turned to go down the opposite side of the ridge from my position I saw a large red spot right in the middle of his chest. To say I was ecstatic is an understatement.
A small part of me thought I had missed again, however what I couldn't miss was the massive hole the BloodRunner had put in that deer. I sat my bow down and tried to recreate the scene that had just happened as I usually like to do after a shot. I began to shake uncontrollably and then got another text from Jason. I would like to think the text read "Did you hit him?", but I think it actually read: "Did you miss again?". All in good fun of course.
I couldn't sit any longer, so I decided to let my gear down and reconnect myself with the Earth. Once on the ground I nocked another arrow, just in case, and went to the spot the buck was standing when I shot. Blood! Lots of blood! I continued on to where he barreled over the edge and dumped down into the hollow and found my arrow, it was literally covered from BloodRunner-to-QuikSpin in red bubbly blood.
Though it wasn't needed, the wound left by the Bloodrunner provided a very impressive bloodtrail.
Aside from seeing the entrance wound on the side of the buck, this evidence relieved me as I now knew that my shot was true, and my 3-year Illinois quest was successful. I decided to wait on the ridge for Jason and our other hunting buddy JT to come help me find the buck. I looked down into the hollow and could see that white belly shine in the bottom!
We decided to bloodtrail my buck just to see what kind of sign there was. It was like the scene out of a horror movie. Let me tell you, I am color blind and can't follow a blood trail too well, if at all. It wasn't a problem this time. There was blood splashed all over the ground and up the sides of trees like it was thrown there from a paint bucket. Blood was blowing out both sides and at one point we measured a spot where the blood had blown out of him and covered a 6-7 foot span.
As we made our way to the bottom, I stopped following the trail and went to the deer. He was a beautiful, young, 7 point buck. I was so proud to have him. He carried a common trait for the area, that being a double throat patch. As for the entrance hole the Bloodrunner left in the buck ... all I can think of to call it is an actual "gaping hole", because that's what it was. Somebody suggested that I flip the buck over and check the exit hole. It was amazing, as the blood continued to run out of the deer, I heard one of the others say, "That's why they call it the BloodRunner!"
It was at this point that I realized the truth in the saying "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again!" I finally succeeded in tagging my first Illinois buck, and my best bow kill to date.

After more than three years of lobbying, gay couples in Oak Park will learn Tuesday night whether trustees will establish a domestic partnership registry for same-sex couples who live and work in the west suburban community.
The proposed registry would allow gay and lesbian couples to register at Village Hall and receive a certificate acknowledging their commitment. The proposal was rejected by trustees in 1994 when it was paired with an ordinance that gave family benefits to gay partners of village employees. Since then, supporters have continued to push for the registry, and opponents have continued to speak out against it.

liked the practical long lasting concept of water,impact and dust resist body,phone with longest battery backup which needs recharging only twice in a month. but it would be a good idea for samsung to bring a new less costing basic model by further making it more basic by removing poor music and camera and other advanced features and improving rugged build quality further, and making it more water and dust resistant to suit indian consumers especially in rural areas.it can add solar panels to it.

text: (Retail Sales article updated with new information on Gap and Buckle sales results for June.)NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Retail same-store sales results for June revealed some unexpected pockets of strength, but showed consumers are still far from returning to full-price buying. Retailers are facing pressures on nearly every front and are likely to feel the strain for months to come. June sales results showed consumers were willing to spend, but only when discounts were at their steepest in the last weeks of the month. Consumers remain skeptical about the strength of the economy and are expected to remain frugal when it comes to spending. The added left hook for brands and retailers comes from rising costs for everything from raw materials to labor in key sourcing countries like China. They'll have little luck passing those costs on to consumers, and will instead see their margins erode even further. Teen retailers such as Abercrombie & Fitch ( ANF), Aeropostale ( AEO) and Zumiez ( ZUMZ) bested estimates thanks to discounting throughout the month. Losers in the specialty retail segment were Gap ( GPS), which missed estimates of a 3% gain by posting flat comps, and Buckle ( BKE), which plunged 7.3%. The heavy promotional environment also lifted major department store players such as Macy's ( M) and Nordstrom ( JWN). June is traditionally a slow month for retailers as they look to clear inventory and prepare for the crucial fall selling season. Given the shaky economic environment, retail analysts expected June sales to be particularly weak. "This is a pattern that we've seen for at least 12 years, so there is no need to panic," said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with market research firm The NPD Group. "In general we have seen retail getting better and while we are up against some pretty bad numbers from last year, I think we will see some very clear signs that a recovery is underway."

What do you do when your CEO or co-workers swear?
- May 30,2008
It is the secret question burning on the lips of many of us Jamaican employees. Yet we dare not ask it aloud for fear of well - maybe an expletive-filled answer. What do you do when the person who heads the organization you work for, the owner-man/woman, or perhaps the person to whom you report directly, liberally laces his/her speech with forty-shilling words that would make even a sailor worth every ounce of his sea-salt, cringe in horror or sob like a school girl?
Or, how do you deal with a colleague whose unconscious and creative use of Jamaican bad wuds in casual conversation or in response to a simple query (Ahmm...may I borrow your stapler/chair/a paper clip?) has you wondering whether or not he missed his inventive wordsmiths calling? You definitely did not know that there were so many exciting combinations to be made from such a simple noun. Your workmate has with blessed assurance proven to you yes it can be done.
Bang and Splatter
Have you ever noticed that people who are prolific in this specialized area of communication have a certain timbre to their voice and when uttered from their lips the expletives appear to explode with an almighty bang and splatter all-over your persona, seemingly splashing and staining you from head to toe? At the end of any such exchange you feel soiled muck-filled and dirtier than that homeless man you saw this morning on your way to work.
Dont get me wrong. I am no prude. The field of communication that has all but consumed my life is filled with many very colorful words and even more multi-coloured characters. And I can tell you here and now, unashamedly that as a reporter, travelling on the road with an oft-time motley crew of mainly male photogs, drivers and my fellow-reporters, I learnt from the very best. In my time I have heard some permutations of swear words that would make even William Shakespeare question his very place in literary history. The Bard himself would in a quick minute doff his hat at some of our Jamaican greatness. For real.
Industrial language
So I ask you then, do swear words, or as some say, industrial language have a place in our workplace? Should we save a seat for it at the lunch table, perhaps? Or maybe even leave a place for it in the board room? There are of course those of my colleagues who would shudder in their Calvin Kleins at the thought that such a topic is even up for discussion on any corporate communication agenda. But it is.
Bearing in mind that all honourable work is respectful, I think it is a given that rough language will be used in work environments such as on construction sites the world over, in manufacturing plants, on ships, on delivery trucks or in news rooms everywhere. Such universally accepted facts, like the rising and the setting of the sun, we have come to unquestioningly acknowledge.
So, let us take the argument inside the corporate office and place it firmly in the cubicle beside yours and mine. What do you do if you are offended by your co-workers foul use of the language? Do you report him to management and lose your seat at the lunch table among your peers? Do you suck it up with a weak grin and pray to God that since it is one hour before lunchtime it must be that hunger a mad him.
How closely wedded are you?
If however it is your CEO or some other mighty and highly placed executive who fate has unkindly twinned you with, through reporting relationships, there are many responses from which to choose. Your reaction will of course depend on how closely wedded you are to the idea of paying your light bill and water rate at the end of each month. Choose one of the following:
You could pretend not to hear him. You could feign temporary insanity and start an inane conversation with him (or yourself) that has no earthly bearing on any subject this side of that kind hospice in eastern Kingston. Then again, you could assume that he/she is prepping for Fridays Happy Hour (today is Wednesday), and throw him the thumbs up signal. On the flip side, perhaps you could register your deep disgust with the most contemptuous look you can muster this side of legitimate employment, giving him the concise version of the lecture you practiced over and over in your head. After that you could strut haughtily back to your desk and start frantically mass-printing those resumes you have been stock-piling since you heard the first barrage of bad words. Like I said there are many options.
Collective America
Two weeks ago, May 14, The New York Times carried a story about a news anchor WNBC-TVs Sue Simmonds who, on air, directed an obscenity at her longtime co-anchor, Chuck Scarborough. The story didnt tell us what profanity she used. Yes, I am curious too. What happened in the aftermath? She apologized during the 11 p.m. broadcast saying: While we were live just after 10 oclock, she said, I said a word that many people find offensive. Im truly sorry. It was a mistake on my part, and I sincerely apologize. It does not appear that she lost her job. But judging from the comments, collective America (some of who admitted that they cussed like sailors) was quite affronted.
I myself have personal views on the matter of office obscenities although, truth be told there are even more obscene issues going on in the workplace today than a couple of swear words. Share your views with me on this cussed question.
