Kerry: US investment can fight extremism in Africa
US investment in Africa is fighting extremism there, US Secretary of State John Kerry has told the BBC.
In an interview with BBC's HARDtalk, Mr Kerry said stability from business projects was countering extremist ideologies and militant movements.
He spoke as more than 40 African heads of state gathered in Washington at the first US-Africa Leaders' Summit.
Earlier on Tuesday, US companies pledged to invest $14bn (£8.3bn) in the continent.
Mr Kerry told the BBC's Zeinab Badawi that US investment in Africa was developing infrastructure, bringing wealth, and improving the standard of living of many Africans.
"There will be less Boko Harams, less al-Shababs. There will be less cause for people to have their minds filled with extremist ideology rather than to engage in the broader benefits of society," he said.
Develop skills
The US remains the top investor in Africa, though in recent years China has dramatically increased its involvement in the continent.
Mr Kerry said the two countries took different approaches to business in Africa.
"We don't come into a place as some countries do with a simple deal and simple finance and bring our own workers in," he said.
"We have much greater ability to be able to train workers, to provide workers with ongoing skills and a longer-term employment capacity, which is very different from what other countries and other companies do."
Mr Kerry said American companies were listening to what African people wanted and were keen to respect human rights and democracy in the continent, while building business partnerships.
Despite initiating the US-Africa Leaders' Summit, President Barack Obama has been criticised for being slow to develop ties with the continent.
Mr Kerry denied the Obama administration had ignored African countries, citing the 2013 Power Africa pledge which aims to double electricity in Sub-Saharan African where two-thirds of the population are without it.
Development mistakes
According to the White House, Power Africa has received an additional $12bn in pledges towards its effort to develop energy supplies on Africa through a mix of investment and state involvement.
Mr Kerry said he welcomed competition with China over investing in the continent, stressing it was not a "zero-sum game".
But he said it was important to help make sure that Africa did not make the same development mistakes as the rest of the world.
"I'm speaking specifically about energy, climate change," he said.
"There are things we can do to help which will benefit Africa, which is long overdue these kinds of benefits and inputs from the rest of the world. The legacy will be the remarkable growth and development that takes place in Africa, and offers an alternative to some of the poverty and extremism."

Marimuthu, Jayaseelan and Esa, Mazlina (2009) Harmonic suppressed single groove PCML bandpass filter. In: European Mictowave Week 2009, 2009, Rome, Italy.
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5296168/
This paper presents the design of single grooved parallel-coupled microstrip bandpass filter with improved passband response and first harmonic suppression. The undesired first harmonic spurious response is suppressed through transmission zero frequency realignment method. A single groove is located at the center of the parallel-coupled line. It is employed for the realignment of the transmission zero and first harmonic frequencies. Two three-stage bandpass filters of different operating bandwidths were designed and implemented with optimized groove. The measured results validate real harmonics suppression performance with controllable single groove dimensions.

Auckland: Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom hailed a "massive" response on Sunday to his new file-sharing service with half a million users registering within hours, a year after his arrest in the world's biggest online piracy case.
The mega.co.nz website, which replaces the outlawed Megaupload, went live at dawn ahead of a lavish evening party at the New Zealand-based Internet tycoon's Auckland mansion, on the anniversary of the armed police raid that saw him arrested and the site shuttered.
The 38-year-old German national, who changed his name from Kim Schmitz, is now on bail as US authorities seek his extradition on a range of charges including money laundering, racketeering and copyright theft.
Dotcom hopes the new venture will repeat the success of Megaupload, which boasted 50 million visitors daily, and initial demand triggered overloads that caused long delays in accessing the site.
Despite the disruptions, Dotcom claimed one million visitors to the site in the first 14 hours and more than 500,000 registered users.
"Mega is going to be huge and nothing will stop Mega," he told journalists after earlier targeting US President Barack Obama when he launched Mega with the tweet: "As of this minute one year ago Megaupload was destroyed by the US government. Welcome to Mega.co.nz".
His lawyer Ira Rothken said they were satisfied the new service was legal and Dotcom believed it was the "most legally scrutinised start-up" ever, insisting it would be a torch bearer for online privacy.
The website offers cloud storage with state-of-the-art encryption to ensure only users, not the site administrators, know what they are uploading.
That would theoretically stop authorities from accusing administrators of knowingly aiding online piracy, the central allegation facing Dotcom in the Megaupload case.
"By using Mega, you say no to those who want to know everything about you. By using mega, you say no to governments that want to spy on you," he said.
Despite the system overloads, Dotcom expressed delight with the rollout, tweeting within an hour of the launch that there were already 100,000 users registered in possibly the "fastest growing start-up in Internet history".
An hour later, with 250,000 registrations, he said: "Site is still overloaded. Massive demand. Incredible." He said server capacity was on maximum load and that access should improve when the "initial frenzy is over".
Users took to Twitter to complain of difficulties in registering.
"I can't even sign up, it's jammed," one potential user tweeted. "I can't get to the site," added another.
At the launch party, which included a re-enactment of the raid a year ago including actors dressed as police commandos and circling helicopters tagged with the letters "FBI", Dotcom said the site's access issues were being addressed.
"We had a lot of users interested in the site, we've stabilised everything now," he said.
New Zealand Internet consultant Steve Simms said the problems appeared to be linked to delays in servers being updated to recognise the site certificate, as well as the overwhelming number of visitors seeking to sign up.
Dotcom, who has a reputation as a showman, was dressed for the launch in the same attire he was on the day of the raid, and said he still felt resentment at the way he was treated.
"Yes, of course. We didn't expect it at all and felt it was extremely unfair. 220 people lost their jobs overnight."
US authorities allege Megaupload sites netted more than $175 million in criminal proceeds and cost copyright owners more than $500 million by offering pirated copies of movies, TV shows, music and other content.
Dotcom denies the charges, which carry jail terms of up to 20 years.
While on bail in New Zealand, his legal team have enjoyed a number of successes challenging the prosecution case, including a ruling that the police raid was illegal and a government admission that Dotcom was illegally spied upon before his arrest.
His extradition hearing is due to be heard in August.

With Elastic Load Balancing, you only pay for what you use. You are charged for each hour or partial hour your load balancer is running and for each GB of data transferred through your load balancer. You will be charged at the end of each month for your Elastic Load Balancing resources actually consumed.
As an example, a medium-sized website running on 10 Amazon EC2 instances in the US East (N. Virginia) Region could use one load balancer to balance incoming traffic. If the load balancer ended up transferring 100 GB of data over a 30 day period, the monthly charge would amount to $18 (or $0.025 per hour x 24 hours per day x 30 days x 1 load balancer) for the load balancer hours and $0.80 (or $0.008 per GB x 100 GB) for the data transferred through the load balancer, for a total monthly charge of $18.80. Partial hours are billed as full hours. Regular Amazon EC2 service fees apply and are billed separately.

In response to Charles Sharam's article "Native Americans in Video Games: Racism, Stereotypes, & The Digitized Indian."
While reading this article, I could not help but think about the various Native American related names that have been given to sports teams in the United States. The Blackhawks and Redwings in hockey, the Atlanta Braves in baseball, and the Washington Redskins in football are just a few examples of team names that are derogatory towards Native Americans. The fans of some of these teams even have chants that mimic Native American tribal rituals, but nobody seems to care.
I think this notion of being able to joke at the Native Americans' expense stems from the first "Thanksgiving" when the pilgrims arrived and were met by the natives. It is almost general knowledge today that there was little "thanks" being given at this first encounter. Instead, there was bloodshed and slaughter that took place on behalf of the English. Still, to this day, people see the holiday as a day to give thanks and appreciate what you have, not mourn the hundreds of Native Americans murdered on that day in 1621.
The reason Thanksgiving is celebrated this way, and why Native Americans are easily mocked, is because of America's nationalistic view of itself. The whole notion of a lovely and peaceful meal between settlers and native peoples was the perfect picture to paint when trying to establish a good image for the country. Since Native Americans were seen as savages by the settlers, they assumed their superiority to them and decided that taking the natives' land by killing them was the best idea. The notions that all Native Americans have mystical connections to the spiritual world, carry a bow and arrow, and wear a feather in their hair were all put in place by early Americans to belittle them. Unfortunately, these notions of a few people created a stereotype that is just now being examined more closely.
Video games are not doing much to help stop these notions from existing. Older games like Custard's Revenge only made Native Americans look more savage than before. The game was not much of a success, with gamers or critics, so it has not been referenced much. Games like Red Dead Redemption don't rely on this stereotype as much, but it still perpetuates it by depicting Native Americans as they normally are in games.

There is only one good way to get rid of yard moles and that is to kill them dead. If that is not your cup of tea, because you love these little critters or you don't care their screwing up your yard over and over again, then this message is not for you. But if you are determined to do something finally positive for mole control, then proven "grandfather's" method will really surprise you.
There are more moles trashing yards, lawns and gardens for years. One can see torn up flower beds and mounds of dirt everywhere, until he starts using the method perfected over the past 27 years by farmers. They believe that dead moles will not lie.
Ultimate Mole Attack: 7 Advice How to Kill and Get Rid of Moles
- If you have ever had mole neighborhood, never start buying nearly every "remedy" and try every half-baked idea like:
- bleach;
- red pepper;
- thorny rose branches;
- moth;
- broken glass;
- balls;
- castor oil;
- human hair;
- sonic blasters;
- razor blades;
- mini-windmills;
- gum;
- harsh chemicals;
- pickle juice;
- vibrators;
- noisemakers;
- firecrackers;
- car exhaust;
- poisons.
People, who have tried them, will tell you that none of these things has ever worked and will never do. Next day moles will come back with more mounds and damage. It's a vicious cycle, so don't waste your money and time over the years.
- Trapping is the only true, reliable and safe way to getting rid of moles. The stuff learned from old farmers is a simple process proven effective time after time. One thing is for certain that if somebody can do it, you will be surely able too. If these methods are not for you, then hiring a mole trapping professional may be the best solution.
- Practice, patience, and persistence are the main keys to success. Moles are incredibly able to detect and spring improperly set traps, but correctly and carefully placed traps will often produce results within one day.
- Generally, trapping is very effective in spring and fall, when mole activity is at its peak. Once mole activity is noticed, a person should begin to control it as quickly as possible. Besides, spring trapping helps to eliminate pregnant female moles.
- It is important to locate main runways first. So to identify them in your yard, look for those which:
- follow borders: fence rows, concrete paths, yard woody perimeters, straight courses;
- appear to connect two runway systems/two mounds.
- Border trapping at places where runways enter the yard, garden, field, as far as mole nests are typically located at protected spots along the edge of hedgerows/fencerows.
- 3-5 traps per acre should be commonly used unless mole activity is extremely light.
Anyway, to sum it all up, let's start with annoying critters to make them bother you no more. However, another thing you have to know is that you are never able to stop mole invasion totally, because they always keep coming year after year and digging 100-feet of tunnels under your yard in a single day. Unfortunately, you can do nothing about it but now you know how to get rid of moles, take control and get rid of little varmints by trapping them yourself.

Clear all the Jelly and score 70,000 points in 40 moves.
1 star: 70000 points
2 stars: 120000 points
3 stars: 140000 points
Your first problem is figuring out how to remove some of the 3 hit blocks to have some room to work to the middle and take care of the bomb. Only 15 moves, it takes some work. Try to match the candies in middle portion to hit 2 blocks at a time with a piece to make it easier on you. All the 3 hit blocks are Jelly spaces as well, so you are going to end up doing it 4 times per spot. If you can zip a horizontal or vertical striped candy through the middle to kill the bomb that would be ideal, but far from frequent on occurrences.
Thanks to Matthew Dean
Patricia Frederick's Tips for Candy Crush Level 143
The most difficult part of this level is getting to the bomb. Once it's removed, keep hitting the blocks to get to the jellies underneath. A color bomb/striped candy combo is good here as well as a striped/wrapped combo.

Sixty-four-year-old Jacky Francis, of Meagill Rise, had her green bin stolen in February and has been trying ever since to get a new one from the local authority.
Mrs Francis made several calls and visits to Otley's One Stop Centre, but got nowhere.
She finally decided to raise the matter with her local newspaper after reading a story about the city council's success at raising recycling rates.
She said: "Leeds City Council has been crowing about its recycling success but I've been trying to get a recycling green bin from them since February.
"The last one was pinched so I don't have one.
"I've rung them up quite a few times and been into the One Stop Centre at least twice but they did nothing.
"Someone at the council I spoke to told me the company that makes the bins had gone into liquidation.
"Then when my son rang again on my behalf, four weeks ago, they told him that I had already had a replacement!"
The council has now confirmed that a replacement bin should be with Mrs Francis within a week.
But she is angry that it has taken the authority so long to honour a simple request – and only after being contacted by the media.
She said: "I am disappointed this has taken such a long time because I believe in recycling and I've always done it.
"I got green bags to use after the bin was pinched so I could keep doing it.
"But it's disappointing that it's taken a call from a newspaper, after me trying to get them to do it since February, for the council to pull their finger out and get me a replacement."
A Leeds City Council spokesman said: "Mrs Francis's green bin should have been replaced in August but that didn't happen.
"So the request has been put in again for another replacement.
"That should be with her this week or by the end of next week at the very latest."

Some insights in regulation and potential profitability off passive fiber infrastructure in Europe
In 2010, the European Commission has formulated some clear objectives to come to one single European telecommunications market by 2020 in its Digital Agenda. These objectives require large investments in new infrastructure. Optical access networks can cope with the high bandwidth required by future applications, but their deployment to the end user involves high road and construction works and costs, which seem only affordable in densely populated areas. Therefore, other investment paths and possible regulatory interventions should be explored. This paper describes a cost-benefit model, developed within the European research project OASE, for the deployment of a dark fiber infrastructure. The model is applied to specific scenarios, which are constituted of the area type (dense urban/ urban/rural), demand uptake (conservative/ likely/ aggressive) and revenue scheme. The quantitative analysis performed indicates that the business case is in most cases not economically viable. Therefore, as a second step, the paper investigates possibilities and opportunities to improve the business case of the PIP, for instance by prolonging the planning horizon, ensuring revenue from the start of the project by performing demand aggregation or examining where public funds might help.

What's being said
Attorneys fees are a very sensitive topic because of the image the lawyers may have when it goes bad or the situation over the fees degrades. Attorney fees sometimes are really overpriced and actually do harm to the plaintiff. Other times, it can be legitimately what is deserved. That is why it is best to have an agreement beforehand which can be adjustable.

Seafood-Origin Labels Mandatory in US from Monday
Date: 29-Mar-05
Country: USA
Under the law, shoppers must be told the origin of fish and shellfish offered for sale and whether they were raised on a farm or caught in the wild. Vendors can put the information on each package or on signs in their display cases.
Proponents say the labels will satisfy a basic "right to know" for consumers and distinguish US products from foreign competitors on the grocery shelf. The food industry fears a mountain of costly paperwork to prove the source of seafood.
The 2002 labeling law initially called on the Agriculture Department to issue rules for mandatory country-of-origin labels on red meat, seafood, fruits, vegetables and peanuts by Sept. 30, 2004. Congress has delayed the requirement for two years for all of the products except for seafood.
When USDA issued the seafood rules last Oct. 4, it gave the industry six months to get ready for the new system and to clear out unlabeled inventory. Most fish is caught during the winter and spring, USDA said.

The Bulls scored eight tries in their 61-8 annihilation of the Reds in a Super Rugby match at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
The hiding brought up memories for the Reds of the 2007 massacre when the Bulls beat them 92-3.
The Bulls hit their straps in the first half as they launched a number of successful attacks on the Reds' defensive line.
While the ball seemed to glide smoothly through the hands as the Bulls spread it wide, a number of crucial handling errors stopped the flow and deprived the Bulls of realistic scoring opportunities.
For a team that are supposedly more inclined to play boring ten-man rugby, they showed a serious knack for an exciting running brand.
The team created enough opportunities to score and had to wait until only the 33rd minute to score their first try.
The Bulls' accurate goal kicking flyhalf Morne Steyn was back at his best as he meticulously banged over all his attempts at goal.
He opened the scoring with a penalty conversion 10 minutes into the match after his side made a number of good attacking runs.
The visitors never really threatened the Bulls and only got onto the scoreboard at the quarter mark with centre Jono Lance succeeding with a penalty goal.
The Bulls were finally rewarded for their enterprising play with Zane Kirchner scoring in the right hand corner, with Steyn converting (16-0).
While the try line was quite elusive in the first half the Bulls seemed to find it quite easily in the second.
The Reds found themselves behind the posts only a minute after the half-time break due to a Wynand Olivier try.
After the Bulls set-up a number of phases Steyn broke the line and sold a dummy to Reds scrumhalf Will Genia, who stood hands on hips as Steyn offloaded to Oliver who scored (23-3).
The Bulls then ran in two tries within two minutes with Flip van der Merwe barging over the line in the 54minute and fiery flanker Jacques Potgieter scoring the try of the match in the 58th minute.
Potgieter got through a gap and handed off man mountain Radike Samo in the midfield running over 50metres to score under the posts, with Steyn converting.
The Bulls' scoring spree was briefly interrupted when the Reds finally scored their first and only try of the match with Dom Shipperley touching down to take the score to 37-8.
The hosts brushed the intrusion aside as they continued their try scoring fest, running in four more tries with Jano Vermaak, CJ Stander, JJ Engelbrecht and Bjorn Basson each adding a five-pointer to their total.
Scorers: Bulls 61 (16): Tries: Zane Kirchner, Wynand Olivier, Flip van der Merwe, Jacques Potgieter, Jano Vermaak, CJ Stander, JJ Engelbrecht, Bjorn Basson. Penalties: Morne Steyn (3). Conversions: Stey(5), Louis Fouche (1x) Reds 8 (3): Try: Dom Shipperley. Penalty: Jono Lance. – Sapa

2014 NHRA: Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals JFR Pre-Race Preview
Posted by: newsla on Mar 27, 2014 - 06:25 AM
2014 NHRA: Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals JFR Pre-Race Preview
When John Force's Castrol GTX High Mileage Mustang comes rolling into Vegas, the 16-time champ will have a 43 point lead over his fellow teammate Robert Hight who happens be his son-in-law and president of John Force Racing. However, the 64 year-old Funny Car veteran is ready extend his points even more and put some distance between his nearest competitor come Sunday at the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
As the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing season is ramping up, John Force also remembers the last time he was at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was on this very spot that he locked up his 16th NHRA Mello Yello Funny Car world championship by beating daughter Courtney in the final round at the 13th annual Toyota NHRA Nationals back in late October of last year.
However, that was last year and if Force has learned anything over decades he has been competing as a driver, you're only as good as your last win or, in John Force's case, his last world championship.
"We're still pitching Corporate America and fighting to get money so we can still be out here doing what we love and enjoy doing. Right now though, I'm focused on winning races for my sponsors and fans and going after a 17th world championship," said John Force.
As tenacious a driver can be, John Force is determined fight for what he has earned and built for himself, his drivers and the team. Like a boxer in the ring, John may have his back against the ropes but he's a fighter that truly believes in himself and comes out swinging.
"Man, I love it out here and I'm hooked and maybe it's pathetic. I'm scared to death they'll take it away from me and my kids so I do the best I can," said John Force.
This 16-time champ can also add another accolade to his already long list of achievements. John Force was recently named Racer of the Year XIX by the readers of Racer and Racer.com by a landslide vote. This was John's second time he earned overall Racer of the Year honors as the first was when he came back after serious injuries to win the 2010 NHRA Funny Car title.
"This is the kind of thing that really makes you stop and think. I want to thank the fans who believe in me as I try to stay hungry yet humble and not think about it. The 2013 championship was special, and this award makes it even more special. All I can say is what an honor it is," said John Force.

LAS VEGAS, NV (March 26, 2014) --- With back to back finals and a recent win at the historic 45th annual Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals Robert Hight and the Auto Club Ford Mustang team are looking to this weekend's Summitracing.com NHRA Nationals to continue their hot streak. Hight has been hot in the desert before winning three times (2007, 2011 and 2012) at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway's spring event.
"I don't know what it is about Las Vegas but we have a history of running really well there. We test there a lot and I just feel comfortable there. Winning the Gatornationals gave us a great boost. We came close in Phoenix so to have back to back finals in a row is a great feeling," said Hight, the 2009 Funny Car champion.
The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is the site of Hight's most historic career win, the fall Toyota NHRA Nationals, where he essentially clinched his Mello Yello Funny Car championship in 2009 with a win over Jack Beckman in the final. Hight would head to Pomona for the Auto Club Finals just needing to qualify for the race to clinch his first Funny Car championship.
"I will always remember The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway as the track where I basically wrapped up that first championship. Getting that win was huge and I want to win another Funny Car championship. I think we definitely have the car and the team to do that," said Hight.
Hight's win at the Gatornationals was the 30th Funny Car win of his career and moved him into a tie for 6th all-time with Kenny Bernstein. It was also crew chief Mike Neff's 30th win as a Funny Car crew chief. The historical significance of his win was not lost on Hight as he addressed the media on Sunday afternoon in Florida.
"I can't even believe my name is associated with guys like that. Guys like Kenny, John Force and Don 'The Snake' Prudhomme were my heroes. Kenny is a guy I always watched. He was always so professional. He was a businessman. He was one of my all-time favorites, He worked very hard to get where he was. To tie him with Funny Car wins is amazing. He is a four-time champion in Funny Car and I am trying to win my second," said Hight.
The Auto Club Mustang has won at least two races a season every year Hight has been the driver since 2005. With that kind of consistency Hight is on the verge of joining another elite Funny Car club. Hight is only eleven round wins away from his 300th round win, a mark he will assuredly reach this season, and at the rate of success it could come as soon as the Houston or Atlanta national events.
"We aren't looking at streaks or records. We are approaching every race with the same goals. I can't wait for that first qualifying run to set up the weekend. The weather looks like it will cooperate so we should be able to make some good runs. This will be one of the first potentially hot tracks so we will be ready for anything. Working with Mike Neff gives you a lot of confidence especially on race day. He just tunes to the track and has a very clam attitude. We have our spot in the Traxxas Shootout now so now we just want to win as many races as possible and move up in the points," said Hight.
LAS VEGAS (March 26, 2014) – The Strip at Las Vegas has always been good to Courtney Force and her Traxxas Ford Mustang team. In fact, the 25-year-old qualified in the No. 2 spot and went to the final round for both NHRA events in 2013, but is now hoping to hit the jackpot this weekend at the 15th annual SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals, March 28-30 at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
"I'm excited going into Vegas this weekend since we have done so well at The Strip in the past," said Force. "However, since we are working with a new car this season, I'm anxious to see if we can continue running like we have the last couple of years," said Force.
The Traxxas team struggled at the start of the 2014 season, but after testing in Phoenix, it appears they have turned their luck around. The 2012 Rookie of the Year is currently No. 10 in NHRA Funny Car points after going rounds at the Gatornationals two weeks ago in Gainesville, Fla.
"Our Traxxas Ford Mustang team has seen improvements in this car and we are motivated and excited to see what this weekend holds. We are ready to turn our luck around in Sin City and come out of there on a high note."
"I hope we can roll over my semi-final round appearance from Gainesville into the Vegas race this weekend and take home a win. We've got a great car and this Traxxas Ford Mustang is showing improvement at each event. This track has been lucky for us in the past, I'm excited to get out there and see what kind of numbers we are capable of laying down," said Force.
At the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals last year, Force started from the No. 2 spot and drove her Traxxas Ford Mustang Funny Car to beat Tim Wilkerson, Del Worsham and Matt Hagan before losing to Cruz Pedregon in the final round of eliminations.
Also in 2013 at the NHRA Toyota Nationals, Force qualified No. 2 again and took out Tony Pedregon, Robert Hight and Jack Beckman on race day, but lost to her father John Force in the final.
"Our goal is to finish with a win this weekend. I'm hoping for some solid qualifying runs and some good luck on race day so we can continue climbing back up the points ladder," she said.
Force will be busy this weekend with more than just racing. The youngest daughter of John Force will spend Thursday filming a new commercial with her Traxxas team. She will also join her teammates, John, Robert, Brittany and Ashley for an autograph signing at the Monte Carlo Hotel Brew Pub on Friday night.
"I will also be signing autographs at the Traxxas display and making an appearance at the JFR Midway display this weekend so there are plenty of opportunities for fans to get an autograph! I'm looking forward to all of it and can't wait to get out there," said Force.
LAS VEGAS, NV (March 26, 2014) --- After battling electrical gremlins in her Castrol EDGE Dragster and exiting early during the NHRA Gatornationals two weeks ago, Brittany Force will be ready to attack The Strip at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway during this weekend's SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals. As the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Series makes it fourth stop this season, Brittany and her crew are pumped up to get to finals and with the help of Lady Luck, possible get her first Top Fuel win.
"I'm pumped to be heading back to Vegas as I got my first round Top Fuel win against Kalitta here last year so I'm ready get back in the seat. I love the Vegas track as it's beautiful and the Castrol EDGE team is ready to go some rounds," said Brittany Force.
Currently in seventh place and only one round out of fifth in points, the Top Fuel sophomore has been steadily improving since the start of the season despite some technical hiccups during the NHRA Gatornationals. In true Force fashion, Brittany doesn't have time to dwell on her last race, she's knows there are no do-overs in drag racing. It's full throttle for this rising star that represents the next generation of NHRA drivers.
The Strip at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is also filled of fond memories for the 26-year-old daughter who just happens to be the second youngest of John Force's four daughters.
"I'm excited to be going into Vegas as it kind of feels like a home track for me. It's close to where we live in Southern California and I remember watching my dad compete here when I was younger. I've also been down that strip numerous times in my Super Comp, A/Fuel Dragster and of course Top Fuel."
The Vegas Odds Makers may have the Castrol EDGE Dragster as a long shot in winning Top Fuel this weekend but smart observers will know when the driver's last name is Force, the chances are much better.
In advance of the weekend's racing activities Brittany and the rest of the JFR team will be signing autographs in The Pub at the Monte Carlo Casino and Hotel on Friday night from 8 p.m. – 9 p.m.
"We have done a couple of fan events at Las Vegas and I love spending time with the fans. It gets you really pumped up and excited to race. I am sure we will have a great turn out at the Monte Carlo on Friday night," added Force.

ST. PETERSBURG — Officially, Ben Zobrist didn't know. But realistically, he knew. As long as shortstop Jason Bartlett didn't trip, fall or otherwise re-injure his right knee and delay his return from the disabled list, Zobrist was going to be sent back to Triple-A Durham after Wednesday's game.
So he told his wife to hold off on the plane ticket from their home in Nashville and his parents not to make the drive from their native Illinois to the Rays' next stop in Kansas City, put all thoughts of the pending demotion out of his head and delivered a stirring farewell.
Zobrist homered to put the Rays ahead in the fifth inning, then singled in what became the decisive run in the seventh as Tampa Bay beat the A's 4-3, maintaining its hold on first place at the 100-game mark of the season.
"I didn't know, but I knew it was a good possibility," Zobrist said. "I understand. I know that's the way that it is. I'm glad that I got a chance to help the team out again today, and I'm glad that I could kind of leave on a good note going back down. Hopefully, I'll be back up here soon."
Zobrist's homer came on the first pitch after a two-run blast by Jonny Gomes, who also could be departing if the Rays make a long-discussed trade for a right-handed-hitting outfielder. James Shields provided a strong start, overcoming back-to-back homers by the A's in the second to work into the ninth, and Troy Percvial got the final two outs for his first save since his late June hamstring injury, and 20th of the season.
The Rays (59-41) have won four of six since the All-Star break, and head out for a week on the road saying they've regained whatever they lost during their seven-game skid.
"It's behind us," Shields said. "That break couldn't have come at a better time."
Zobrist knew he was on somewhat borrowed time, and though he had some big hits (including five homers in his last 16 games), his at-times shaky defense only magnified Bartlett's absence, as the Rays went 7-9 without him.
Once manager Joe Maddon came away from a Wednesday morning talk with Bartlett convinced he could resume playing every day starting tonight in Kansas City, he knew he would have another conversation after the game.
It just happened to be with the guy — who he is now calling "Zo-rilla" — who had a huge hand in the win.
"That's just how the game works. Fortunately he did what he did, and then he goes back," Maddon said. "He understands what's going on. I wanted him to understand how much we recognize what he's done for us here, and that he's definitely going to be back. We tried to emphasize to him the different areas we wanted him to work on defensively, and please don't mess with your swing at all."
Zobrist, who also homered in his last game before being sent down in June, said the good game softened the bad news.
"It's a little bit easier probably because I left on a good note," he said. "Sometimes if you do bad the game before you go down you might feel like that had something to do with it. … It wasn't like they don't think I can play up here, it's just a matter of how our roster is nowadays. … Hopefully I can hit a home run and stay up the next time."

text: Landec Corporation (Nasdaq: LNDC), today reported results for fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012. Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 increased 21% to $82.6 million compared to revenues of $68.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. Net income increased to $2.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.10 per share, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. Revenues for fiscal year 2012 increased 15% to $317.6 million compared to revenues of $276.7 million for fiscal year 2011. Net income for fiscal year 2012 was $12.7 million or $0.49 per diluted share compared to net income of $3.9 million or $0.15 per diluted share for fiscal year 2011. Fourth Quarter Results The revenue growth of $14.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 was due to (1) $9.1 million of revenues from GreenLine Holding Company, ("GreenLine") which was acquired by Apio, Inc., our specialty packaged food subsidiary, on April 23, 2012, (2) a $5.2 million increase in revenues in Apio's non-GreenLine value-added businesses, which include the Apio fresh-cut specialty packaged vegetable business, Apio Cooling and Apio Packaging, and (3) a $1.3 million increase in revenues at Lifecore Biomedical, Inc., our biomaterials subsidiary, due to an increase in sales to existing customers. The fourth quarter growth of $5.2 million in Apio's value-added non-GreenLine businesses resulted from a combined year-over-year 14% increase in unit volume sales due to new product offerings, new distribution gains and overall growth in the fresh-cut vegetable category. These increases in revenue were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in revenues in our Technology Licensing business primarily due to the termination of the Monsanto license agreement at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Russia bans adoption of children by gay couples
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree to simplify the procedure for adoption of orphans. The document was published on the website of the Cabinet.
The changes exclude certificates the conformity of housing conditions to sanitary and technical standards from the list of compulsory documents that are required to collect for adoption.
The decree also shortened the period (from 15 to ten days) to prepare and issue permit for citizens to adopt a child. The document simplifies the procedure for guardians to report about the storage and use of the property of adoptee.
To crown it all, the changes improve control over living conditions and upbringing of adopted children.
Dmitry Medvedev also signed the decree that bans the adoption of Russian children by same-sex foreign couples.

UP TO 300 jobs will be cut from the NSW Department of Primary Industries as part of savings measures announced by the state government in this year's budget.
The department has confirmed it needs to find cuts worth $30 million, or the equivalent of 300 positions. A spokesman said plans had been finalised and staff were being told of the changes.
''Impacted staff will be invited to apply for other positions in the department, offered voluntary redundancies, or will be put on the deployment list to be placed in other departments,'' he said.
It comes as the government confirmed it will close a specialised research facility in Cumberland Forest at West Pennant Hills and relocate staff to Camden.
The department told 19 scientists and technicians at the Forest Science Centre on Wednesday their positions would be moved to the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute in Camden from July 1 next year.
The decision comes 15 months after the centre lost 11 positions and a year after the controversial closure of the Cronulla fisheries facility, which required staff to move to several coastal towns.
The Forest Science Centre, part of Forests NSW, monitors exotic pest species and the health of the state's forests, and conducts studies on carbon sequestration and endangered animals.
A DPI spokesman said the re-location to Camden was part of the government's plan to centralise researchers at the newly renovated Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute, one of its five major research centres.
All 19 positions and current research projects would be relocated to Camden but staff would be offered redundancies as part of workplace agreements, he said.
Martin Horwood, a former scientist with the centre made redundant last year, said the decision to move the research facility appeared to be part of a broader campaign by the NSW government ''to get researchers out of metro Sydney''.
The staff relocation would force some experienced researchers to take redundancies because they could not manage the commute, and would make the centre's connections with universities difficult to maintain he said.
Mike Archer, a professor of biological science at the University of NSW, said the centre had been able to provide invaluable long-term research.

Allstate boosting some home insurance rates
Some insurance rates will jump an average 9.8 percent next month for thousands of Allstate customers.
Published 5:16 pm, Thursday, November 19, 2009
Some insurance rates will jump an average 9.8 percent next month for thousands of Allstate customers.
The increase will start Dec. 17 as policies come up for renewal. It will affect 143,000 customers of Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance. It's the Allstate unit's second increase this year.
The insurer needs the rate boost because of rising claims costs, particularly for roofing repairs and materials, said Bill Mellander, an Allstate spokesman.
"We are footing the bill on behalf of consumers for the rising costs and that impacts what Texans pay for home insurance," he said.
Business Channel
In addition to announcing the rate increase for home insurance, the company said it will offer auto insurance customers a 5 percent discount if they pay their premiums in full upfront instead of in installments. The company also will offer more deductible choices for auto insurance customers, Mellander said.
Regulators are reviewing the rate change and can order refunds if they deem the increase unjustified, said Jerry Hagins, a Texas Department of Insurance spokesman.
Allstate Fire and Casualty increased home insurance rates 4 percent earlier this year.
Another 450,000 home insurance policyholders are insured by Texas Allstate Texas Lloyds, which stopped selling new policies in Texas in 2006. Those customers are not affected by the latest rate increase.
Also in 2006, Allstate Texas Lloyds began to drop wind coverage upon renewal of 65,000 policies along the coast and stopped renewing coverage on thousands of nonbrick homes in Harris County and others that border counties immediately on the Gulf Coast.
Allstate still sells new home insurance policies through Allstate Fire and Casualty, but it doesn't sell windstorm coverage to homeowners directly along the coast.

Oliver Stone has begun the shooting of his 9/11 film feature
Promising to not recreate the large-scale devastation that's all too familiar to residents who lived through the 9/11 incident, Oliver Stone has started shooting his film about the 2001 attacks in New York. The movie, which is starred by Nicolas Cage, takes most of the action in Los Angeles sound stage and will not show the collapse of WTC although news footage of the towers themselves is about to be shown during the film.
In addition, the film will not interpret the politics or meaning of Sept. 11 and will only focus to portray the event as it happened. "We're not doing everyone's story that day," said Michael Shamberg, one of the producers. "We're trusted with the accuracy of the particular story that we're telling."

A DORCHESTER councillor has hit out over parking at Dorset County Hospital.
After it was revealed that more than 19,000 patients failed to turn up to appointments at the Dorchester hospital every year, town and district councillor Susie Hosford has suggested some could be deterred after struggling to find a place to park.
She said the impact of parking difficulties at the hospital is also causing problems for residents living nearby and has urged the hospital to embrace an impending opportunity to increase its parking provision.
Cllr Hosford said: "Everybody's had the same experience whether you are a visitor or a patient – it's incredibly stressful not knowing whether you are going to be able to park or not.
"I wonder whether some of those people not turning up are getting too stressed trying to park and just leave."
Cllr Hosford is chairman of Dorchester Town Council's planning and environment committee, which has been regularly lobbied by residents in streets such as Wessex Road and the Victoria Park area of town who claim hospital workers are parking there and blocking up the roads.
She said: "It's a huge issue in terms of the staff parking all over the town and cluttering up residential areas."
Cllr Hosford said the town council had written to the hospital setting out the concerns of residents, and had received a response acknowledging there was a problem but not proposing anything constructive to tackle the issues.
She said Dorset County Hospital had an opportunity with plans for Damers School to move to Poundbury for September 2015 to use the school site to address its parking needs.
Cllr Hosford said: "In the longer term we have the Damers School site, which is going to become vacant when Damers School moves up to Poundbury.
"The idea has always been that the hospital takes that site back and develop it.
"I think the town council and generally people in the area are taking the view that the site has got to be prioritised for parking, not for further development of hospital services.
"The thought of them developing that site and not putting any extra parking in is appalling."
Cllr Hosford said that the hospital could also make greater use of park and ride, particularly for administrative staff on regular day shifts.
A spokesperson for the Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said: "We are treating many more patients now than we did when the hospital site was designed and built over 20 years ago.
"Consequently, our car parks can no longer accommodate everyone who wishes to park here, which is why we encourage staff, patients and visitors to use alternative means of transport if they can.
"We support and promote car sharing, public transport, the park and ride service and cycling.
"We also regularly remind staff to park considerately if they choose to park in neighbouring streets.
"Government policy makes it clear that creating more car parks is not the way forward for addressing congestion issues.
"We are working with Dorset County Council on sustainable travel initiatives.
"We are not aware of patients routinely missing appointments because they cannot park."
