CHARLOTTE—Every time a Ford official talks about Roush Fenway Racing and Penske Racing working together on behalf of the manufacturer, it raises a few eyebrows.
Both organizations have successful race teams. But they also are fierce competitors.
MORE: Stenhouse-Danica rumor | Keselowski wants a girl | Earnhardt needs sponsors
They will use the same engines—from the Roush Yates Engines shop—this year and work on some projects together for Ford.
But while they try to campaign the "One Ford" philosophy, they also will be somewhat independent.
"At the end of the day, for every sponsor and for every car number, even within the Roush Fenway group, you've got to race all the other guys out there and you've got to race the programs one against the other," Roush Fenway owner Jack Roush said Thursday.
"It's 'One Ford' in terms of the manufacturer's involvement and the support that comes from Ford from an engineering point of view, but it's every team for himself when it comes to orchestrating what goes in the car for springs and bars and shocks and I don't expect any cooperation there."
Roger Penske, who won a Cup championship with Brad Keselowski last year with Dodge but announced the move to Ford last March because Dodge wouldn't commit to a multiyear deal, said the biggest difference will be the drivers.
"We all have different drivers," Penske said Wednesday on the Sprint Media Tour. "You can say that's proprietary because they are our drivers and they have different skill sets.
"There are things that we can share, maybe the core things, but at the end of the day, it's like a 7-iron—everybody hits a 7-iron but they hold it differently. The setup on the cars and the strategy on the races, that's what's going to get us another championship."
Keselowski will try to defend his title for Penske while teaming with new teammate Joey Logano. Roush, meanwhile, will field Fords for contenders Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Richard Petty Motorsports and Front Row Motorsports will also campaign Fords again in 2013, getting engines and engineering support from Roush.
The key will be for Roush and Penske to work together to help develop Ford's brand of the new Sprint Cup car.
The vice presidents of competition at both teams—Mike Nelson at Penske and Robbie Reiser at Roush Fenway—are coordinating the joint projects.
"As we go into this season, if we're struggling in an area, hopefully we're struggling in the same place and we can use that resource (of Ford) to help both of us," Reiser said.
"If we're not, we're going to have to sit down and me and Mike Nelson are going to have to work that out and decide what we work on and what we don't work on. It's definitely two different companies going racing against each other."
How different? Roush said even the cars are different.
"They have a dramatically different car than our car," Roush said. "The underbody and the suspension doesn't relate so the things that we're cooperating on that hopefully will realize some benefit to the programs will be some questions about the engine and some questions about the aero as it relates to the exterior of the body."
Penske was a Ford organization from 1995 to 2002 but the manufacturers work differently with the teams now than they did then.
"They used to work with each and every team and separate the projects per the teams," Reiser said. "It's not that way today. Finances are really important so when Ford looks at it, they try to do a project that supports everybody.
"They sit down with all of us and say what can we do for you that will benefit both programs or other programs that are involved in Ford. The approach was different than it was in '90s and you can't compare that to today for what the manufactures do with the race tams."
And that is why Penske seems to be OK with it.
"When you step back and the sport is so competitive and with the limited amount of testing, the opportunity to share notes and things that we're doing together will be a real advantage as we go forward," Penske said.

A study out of San Diego found that people who consume more chocolate are more likely to lose weight. Does this mirror your experience?
I don't know the science...do you have a copy of the article... Now I can stop feeling so dam guilty!!!!
You ask if in our experience, people who eat more chocolate lose more weight. My answer: no!
However, people who eat small amounts of chocolate mindfully often can enjoy the chocolate AND lost weight. It all depends on how much they're eating overall, plus how they're approaching eating chocolate. If they look at chocolate as 'bad', then they often overeat due to guilt, and that doesn't help them reach their weight goals. If they include a small amount of chocolate periodically in their oerall healthy food choices, and eat the chocolate without guilt, then they typically do just fine.
I really detest media headlines like this. I've had lots of people tell me that they can now eat all the chocolate they want and lose weight. Or lately I've had people tell me they've started drinking more alcohol because of the research showing people who regularly drink alcohol have less heart disease.
I like to ask: do you also eat more whole grains, fresh fruit, and dark green leafie veggies?
I agree. The media is always trying to grab attention. This one really does! I think ALL foods can be included in a healthy meal pattern. Unfortunately, most of the people I deal with who struggle with obesity and overeating cannot stop at a 'moderate amount' of something that they love like chocolate. To them, its literally feast or famine. I tell people if they can eat a small amount of chocolate (or whatever it is) and not binge then by all means do it but if they cannot then just leave it off.
I love chocolate. I include Quaker Chewy Granola bars in my daily regimen for my 'chocolate fix'. Each one is 90-100 calories and doesn't 'break the bank' if you know what I mean. I get satisfied. Sometimes I have a craving for chocolate after I eat lunch so I will keep 60 calorie Tootsie Pops in my desk. Those take a while to eat and taste really good! They rid me of the chocolate craving for minimal calories. It works for me. I also take them on car trips because they take so long to eat and keep me occupied (rather than reaching into a bag of chips every few minutes). I have found that if I allow myself to have that little bit of chocolate after lunch it keeps me from eating an entire bag of M&M's (about 220+ calories). And I feel just as satisfied.
I can usually control my cravings. But today will be a bigger challenge because someone (a bad person-haha) brought a 'chocolate lover's cheesecake' to share with co-workers and it is calling my name as we speak. (Help!)
Love the subject, as also love chocolate! Agree with Lynn and Micki 100% on the weight gain/weight loss analysis.
Thought I'd add some of the health benefits of eating chocolate regularly, according to an article in the Huffington Post titled 10 Health Benefits Of Chocolate.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/28/chocolate-health benefits_n_1383372.html#s818288&title=Chocolate_Boosts_Heart
10 benefits of chocolate, per this Post article, are:
1) Lowers risk of stroke. A 2011 Swedish study found that women who ate more than 45 grams of chocolate a week had a 20 percent lower risk of stroke than women who treated themselves to fewer than 9 grams of the sweet stuff.
2) Boosts heart health. This is due to chocolate shown to: lower BP, lower LDL cholesterol and a lower risk of heart disease, due to its inflammation-fighting properties (especially dark chocolate) which reduce cardiovascular risk.
3) The benefit that started this blog: Helps you eat less. Because it's rich in fiber, dark chocolate can actually help keep you full, so you'll eat less, Dr. David Katz, founding director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center and HuffPost blogger.
4) Reduces risk of diabetes. A small Italian study from 2005 found that regularly eating chocolate increases insulin sensitivity, thereby reducing risk for diabetes.
5) Can protect skin. Dark chocolate is actually good for your skin. The type of antioxidants called flavonoids found in dark chocolate offer some protection from UV damage from the sun.
6) Can quiet coughs. An ingredient in chocolate called theobromine seems to reduce activity of the vagus nerve, the part of the brain that triggers hard-to-shake coughs. In late 2010, the BBC reported that scientists were investigating creating a drug containing theobromine to preplace cough syrups containing codeine, which can have risky side effects.
7) Can boost mood. Indulging every once in a while feels great. So chocolate eaters report feeling less stressed.
8) Improves blood flow. Cocoa has anti-clotting, blood-thinning properties that work in a similar way to aspirin, which can improve blood flow and circulation.
9) Improves vision. Because of chocolate's ability to improve blood flow, in particular to the brain, researchers at the University of Reading hypothesized in a small 2011 study that chocolate may also increase blood flow to the retina, thereby giving vision a boost.
10) It makes you smarter. That boost of blood flow to the brain created by cocoa's flavanols seems to make people feel more awake and alert, and, in a small British study, perform better on counting tasks.

I like chocolate, but it seems to me that eating more fruit and vegetables provide all the same benefits listed here as eating dark chocolate....maybe strawberries dipped in dark chocolate to get the best of both?
I love this topic!!! I think it depends on whether or not chocolate is a trigger food for an individual. If the first morsel of chocolate causes someone to just keep on eating more and more without stopping until it is all gone...no weight will be lost.
On the other hand, if chocolate is a quality of life issue for someone...and it is not a trigger food, it can be incorporated into the diet in several ways, e.g. hot chocolate with skim milk...or just limiting portion size. Then the individual will not feel deprived , and may help people stick to their goals of exercise and dietary goals for weight loss. A small piece of chocolate at the end of the day as a reward for sticking to a weight loss and exercise regimen is a good thing.
What do you think?

Blog Cabin 2013 Winners Swing by HGTV Headquarters
A note from Kayla: I'd like to introduce you to managing editor Virginia Moon who will be your guide on all things DIY Network Blog Cabin 2014. If you've found yourself flipping through the (beautiful!) home improvement photo galleries on HGTVRemodels.com and lost in projects on DIY Network's Made + Remade blog, then you're likely already familiar with Virginia's top-notch writing and editing. Please join me in welcoming Virginia to the blog!
Hi all -
I'm excited to be on board as your new guide for all things Blog Cabin! I recently had the pleasure of meeting the winners of Blog Cabin 2013 as they passed through town a few weeks ago. Mari Cabrera-Hickerson, along with her husband Ken, son Alex, and dog Kokaei came by the HGTV headquarters to pick up the keys to their new home in North Carolina!
The family's cross-country road trip started in Culver City, Calif., they stopped in Albuquerque, NM to visit family, and pulled into Knoxville, Tenn. on a snowy Tuesday morning. They were going to hit the road to Atlantic, NC after picking up their keys, but plans changed when they were snowed in for the night. The next morning the Blog Cabin winners packed up and headed out, making it safely to their new home.
I was able to catch up with the family during the visit about their plans for the house. While Mari loves everything about the home, she says "I plan on adding pictures of my grandchildren to personalize it." The couple would also like to build a garage with a loft for the grand kids.
Aside from minor changes, Mari wants to celebrate with a family reunion this summer. What a perfect way to share her big win!
Thanks again, Mari, for stopping by. We wish you and your family many wonderful memories in your new home!

POLICE want to extradite a man believed to be responsible for knocking down and killing a former Blackburn council boss in a hit-and-run crash in France.
Steve Weaver, who lived in Revidge, was cycling near his holiday home in Provence when he was mowed down by a man driving a stolen Ford car, who then fled the country, investigators said.
A spokeswoman for the police in France said the fugitive had flown to Algeria.
They are now applying for permission to fly out there and extradite him back to France to face questioning.
Friends and family of 64-year-old Mr Weaver said they hoped the new information would mean justice would soon be done.
His ex-wife Ann, who still lives in Blackburn, said: "The family are pleased that the police investigations are making progress."
Police are now just waiting for permission to fly to Africa and arrest the fugitive.
A spokeswoman said: "We know who the suspect is and we think we know where he is, but we cannot catch him because he is not in France.
"We have to be allowed to go there to have an extradition.
"We know he first went to Algeria, but we do not know if he stayed there.
"We just have to follow the law and we will see if we are allowed to go to catch him.
"Police are continuing to investigate the case."
Keen cyclist Mr Weaver, 64, who was chief executive of Blackpool Council from 2002 to 2011 after 27 years working in Blackburn town hall, suffered injuries to his head and torso when he was knocked off his bike by the car.
He had been travelling from the hamlet of Veaux towards the town Malaucène, in May.
An investigation was immediately launched by officers in the area, who issued an e-fit of a man they thought could have been driving.
The prime suspect, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was identified after police carried out tests on DNA found inside the stolen car, which was recovered soon after the crash.
The French national lived in a village near where the crash happened, but is known to have taken a 90-minute flight from Marseille to the Algerian capital Algiers to escape arrest.
Blackburn MP Jack Straw said he was ready to help should contact need to be made with the British embassy in Algeria.
He said: "I am very glad to know that the French police are treating this case with all the seriousness it deserves.
"I stand ready to help, including making representations through our embassy in Algiers, should it be needed.
"It must be a terrible time for Mr Weaver's family, but I do know they are grateful that the British embassy pulled out all the stops to help them.
"It seems like progression with the criminal case is being made and hopefully justice will be done."
Friend and Roe Lee councillor Phil Riley added: "I am pleased the possible culprit has been identified.
"We now want him apprehended and taken through the courts. I am hoping that all the necessary legal processes can be completed swiftly."
Mr Weaver, who is originally from Yorkshire, left three children and three grandchildren.
In the run up to the 1998 creation of the unitary authority, he became deputy chief executive with responsibility for education, social services, leisure and welfare rights.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) – Virginia Beach police say health problems likely contributed to the death of a dog that was left outside a shelter overnight.
Police tell media outlets that the 10-year-old pit bull, named Batman, had severe heart and lung disease. Batman also might have had diabetes.
Police say hypothermia's possible role in the dog's death is inconclusive.
Overnight temperatures were in the lower 20s when the dog was left in an outdoor play area at the Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center on Feb. 17.
A volunteer found the dog around 11 a.m. the next day. Two shelter employees tried to revive Batman but he was pronounced dead.
Police are investigating the shelter's policies and procedures to determine whether they were followed and whether they should be changed.

Carpinteria, Calif. CKE Restaurants and RWJP Star Enterprises entered into a franchise development agreement that will open 121 Carls Jr. restaurants in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Tyler/Longview and Beaumont, Texas markets. The locations will be opened during the next 10 years.
As many consumers cut restaurant-dining expenses out of their budgets, many companies have slowed expansion plans. However, CKE's new plan will bolster its already-strong presence in Texas. The company has 16 franchised units across Texas, and three company-owned restaurants opened in 2008.
The agreement supports CKE's plan to increase overall unit growth, specifically its franchise growth. During fiscal 2009, the company has inked 18 franchise development deals with commitments for 375 restaurants. There will be 231 domestic locations and 144 international units, including some in China, Pakistan and Kazakhstan — three new markets for CKE.
During the next five years, the company plans to add more than 800 new units to its global base. CKE expects franchised units to comprise 75% of the enterprise, and international locations will account for 20% of the portfolio.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Conquers Movie Universe
Up until the day it opened, 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was a big question mark at the box office.
Could Marvel Studios continue its winning streak with a movie based on a practically unknown comic series that only has light connections to the rest of the films in their cinematic universe?
Early estimates had the film grossing $60 million over the weekend and that would have been perfectly OK. But then it went and eclipsed that estimate in every way.
|To Date
|Guardians of the Galaxy
|$94.0 million
|$94.0 million
|$18.3 million
|$79.6 million
|Get On Up
|$14.0 million
|$14.0 million
|$10.7 million
|$52.3 million
|Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
|$8.7 million
|$189.3 million
|Planes: Fire and Rescue
|$6.4 million
|$47.6 million
|The Purge: Anarchy
|$5.6 million
|$63.0 million
|Sex Tape
|$3.6 million
|$33.9 million
|And So it Goes
|$3.4 million
|$10.5 million
|A Most Wanted Man
|$3.3 million
|$7.1 million
With an opening weekend of $94 million, 'Guardians of the Galaxy' set a new record for August openings and is already on track to being one of the highest grossing films of the year. To put it in perspective, it made only $1 million less than 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' in its April opening and that film is still sitting pretty as the highest grossing film of 2014. There's always the question of whether or not the film will have the momentum break $250 million, but $200 million is looking like a sure thing. Heck, with summer just about over and the competition dwindling, it wouldn't be surprising to see the film make a serious run at $300 million. That's huge.
Of course, the massive opening of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' completely eclipsed 'Get On Up,' which opened in third place with $14 million. That's not a terrible number for a movie with a modest budget, but it's also not particularly noteworthy. Since we're in the dregs of summer, there's a chance it could eke out a final gross of $45-$50 million, but don't quote us on that. August was probably not the right time to release a musician biopic like this.
'Lucy,' last week's champion, fell to second place, grossing $18 million for a $79 million total. Despite the hefty drop from last week, the film is already a smash — it's going to easily clear $100 million on a budget of $40 million. The big question now is whether or not it'll have the juice to clear $150 million.
Speaking of films that had major drops between last weekend and this one, 'Hercules' had a truly disastrous second week, grossing only $10 million for a $52 million total. That's a 62% drop. Considering the film's $100 million budget, this is not good at all.
In fifth place, 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' continued to ride toward $200 million, grossing $8 million for a $189 million total. It should reach that next milestone by next week (give or take a few days) and then it'll start slowing down. $220 feels about right for this one, but we wouldn't be surprised if it ends up a little going a little further.
As for the rest, 'Planes: Fire and Rescue' continued to underwhelm, 'The Purge: Anarchy' continued to be a massive sleeper hit (considering its budget), 'Sex Tape' kept on bombing and 'A Most Wanted Man' took advantage of its theatrical expansion to hold onto the number 10 spot.

"The Lord works in mysterious ways. He truly blessed Robert & Christine to cross paths in His time and in His way."
They credit ChristianMingle.com for connecting like-minded Christians, such as themselves, who desire someone who loves the Lord and who lives according to Christian principles.
Once connected via ChristianMingle in July 2013, both Robert and Christine started as friends who prayed and studied the Bible together. Within a few months, both started dating more seriously, and they were soon recognized as a couple by their family and friends. Ultimately, God's plan prevailed as their friendship blossomed into a triune relationship, whereby Christ is the center!
On January 28, 2014 while at the theater watching a movie called Gimme Shelter, one of the characters in the movie repeatedly stated, "I can do this," at which time, Rob pulled out the ring and proposed to Christine, while mimicking the character in the movie, saying "I can do this. I can do this." LOL! With great joy, she happily accepted his proposal.
Both Robert & Christine have learned from their past and look forward to their future, as they embrace the 3 C's of their triune relationship: Christ, Communication & Compromise. Insomuch, their faith is strengthened, as the Lord paves the way for them to do more wondrous works in other ministries together!

More Information
With the arrival of warmer weather and the 2008 summer season, Fairfax County has information and resources available for residents to ensure a safe and fun summertime.
Heat takes the greatest toll on the very young and the very old, especially children younger than 5 and adults older than 65. Intense summer temperatures also greatly affect people who are sick or take certain medications, including diuretics, antihistamines, beta-blockers and tranquilizers.
To keep cool, follow this general advice:
- Drink plenty of water. Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages because they dehydrate the body.
- Stay indoors as much as possible. Spend time in an air-conditioned place if possible; resting for just two hours in air conditioning can significantly reduce heat-related illnesses.
- Slow down. Avoid strenuous physical activities or reschedule them for the coolest part of the day, usually the early morning.
- Eat light meals.
- Don't take salt tablets unless directed by a physician.
- Wear light-colored clothing, which helps reflect sunlight.
- Wear sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Sunburn makes it more difficult for your body to cool off.
- Never leave children or pets unattended in a car — not even for a few minutes. Even with the windows slightly open, the temperature in a car on a 93-degree day can soar to 125 degrees in just 20 minutes and approximately 140 degrees in 40 minutes.
Residents who need immediate, life-saving help, should call 9-1-1. For other safety help, call the public safety non-emergency phone number at 703-691-2131, TTY 711.

Kris Versteeg's season is over. The Florida Panthers forward needs surgery to repair a knee injury.
Versteeg played in just 10 games for Florida this season, compiling four points (two goals, two assists). Last season, his first with the Panthers, he was second on the team with 23 goals. He signed a four-year, $17.6 million contract in the offseason.
"I feel bad for (Versteeg), our team and our fans,'' Panthers general manager Dale Tallon told reporters before the team's game Thursday in Boston (per the South Florida Sun Sentinel).
Versteeg's departure from the lineup is another blow to a club hit hard by injuries. As The Miami Herald noted, Versteeg is one of eight Panthers regulars sidelined with health issues.
"To have this happen is frustrating. I'm actually confused beyond the life of me why this is happening. It is happening; we got to deal with it and we got to get better," Tallon told reporters per the Sun Sentinel.
Tallon said he's not interested in making a trade that would just be a short-term fix. Florida is last in the Eastern Conference, 10 points out of a playoff berth.
"I'm listening to everything from everyone. There are a lot of vultures out there who want our top players. We're not going to do anything emotionally or anything to disrupt the future of this team just to band-aid something for this year,'' he was quoted as saying.

SANTA CRUZ -- Great white sharks have a surprisingly varied diet, according to recently published research from UC Santa Cruz.
The study, published in PLoS ONE online on Friday, analyzed stable isotopes in shark vertebrae, which grow in concentric rings much like tree rings. Stable isotopes of nitrogen, derived from a shark's food, are incorporated into its vertebrae as it grows, providing a lifelong record of a shark's diet.
Sora Kim, lead author of the paper, conducted the study during her doctoral studies at UC Santa Cruz. She had expected all the shark samples to show the same dietary progression through life, with young sharks primarily feeding on fish and shifting to seals and sea lions as adults.
"We did find that white sharks' diets changed with age, as expected, but we were surprised that the patterns and extent of change differed among individuals." Kim said in a UCSC press release.
The results, in which three patterns of lifetime diet emerged, initially discouraged Kim.
"I had expected very clear patterns," she said. "It hadn't occurred to us that white sharks could be doing such different things."
Previous studies of great white shark diets came from direct observation.
"We see these sharks on the California coast, and we see them feeding on seals and sea lions," Kim said.
But the sharks also migrate to deeper waters, which makes observation difficult.
"They're so far under water that we can't see what they're eating," Kim said.
Two-thirds of the shark vertebrae samples studied showed lifetime diet patterns other than what was predicted. The data suggest that some adult sharks eat dolphins and tuna.
"Some individuals are specialists in their diet, and some are generalists," Kim said.
This variation allows great white sharks, an apex predator, to shift their diet as needed to take full advantage of the range of prey available and creates, according to the study, "a spectrum of specialists" in great white shark populations.
Kim and her colleagues have presented their findings at several scientific meetings. The reaction is always surprise.
"It's so different from what we were expecting," she said. "So little is known about white shark diets that every morsel is a good find."
Kim graduated from UC Santa Cruz in October 2010 and is a post-doctoral scholar at the University of Wyoming. Paul L. Koch and James A. Estes of UC Santa Cruz and M. Tim Tinker of the Western Ecological Research Center were co-authors on the study.

Dodgers set to introduce Play Zone at Stadium
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Dodgers will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Dodger Stadium on Monday at 5:30 p.m. PT to mark the opening of the new Play Zone presented by Children's Hospital Los Angeles, located on the third-base side of the Reserve Level.
The Play Zone is one of the many new enhancements made to Dodger Stadium during the offseason and will offer fans an in-stadium area in which their children can play during games. The Play Zone features life-size bobbleheads and a scoreboard.
"The Dodgers are thrilled to have Children's Hospital Los Angeles as a partner for the 3rd Base Play Zone," said Michael Young, Dodgers Senior VP of corporate partnerships. "The Play Zone is one of the cornerstone elements of our stadium renovations to further enhance the family-friendly atmosphere at Dodger Stadium."
Children's Hospital Los Angeles will also be the presenting sponsor of the Dodgers Foundation Youth Camp, which will have its first session from June 25-28 and a second session from Aug. 12-14. CHLA will also provide 20 scholarships for underprivileged children so they can attend the camp, which is for ages seven through 12. Parents interested in signing their children up for camp can visit www.dodgers.com/camp.

Facebook is taking another step toward monetizing its vast audience of plugged-in consumers with the planned introduction of paid video ads. As reported in numerous media outlets, Facebook intends to launch 15-second video ads that will play in a user's newsfeed three times per day for as much $2.5 million per spot.
That approaches the $4 million cost of a 30-second TV ad during the Super Bowl earlier this year, although as other observers have pointed out Facebook's global membership of 1.15 billion favorably compares with the billion viewers around the world regularly claimed (and sometimes disputed) for the Super Bowl.
So will Facebook video ads prove to be a boon or a bane for retailers and their customers? The answer may not be so clear cut.
As I wrote about in last week's column, video is rapidly evolving into a separate channel for consumer engagement. Video is a natural fit in an ultra visual medium such as the Internet and has proven extremely popular with the public. Video ads offer retailers a natural way to bridge online and TV advertising campaigns. The price is expensive, but Facebook's high user totals and engagement levels are undeniable.
Video ads will reportedly play silently until (and unless) users click on them and will not play more than three times a day. There is no compelling evidence that click-through rates on video ads will surpass generally anemic click-through rates on other types of online ads, although as always careful targeting can play an important role. Social media and the Internet are replacing TV to varying degrees for many consumers (especially advertiser-coveted Millennials), so the wisdom of blurring the line between Facebook and TV may be questionable.
And the verdict is…
No clear verdict here. Based on reported cost, obviously only larger retailers with deeper pockets will experiment with Facebook video ads, so to some extent if you can afford it, you can probably afford the risk. Moving beyond cost, it seems that Facebook video ads may prove most valuable for two dissimilar types of retailers – mass merchandisers and purveyors of specialized products that already heavily use social media marketing. Let me explain why.
Mass merchandisers have an audience that skews older and broader than most other retail niches and thus will likely be receptive to advertising that reminds them of promotions they receive in the traditional TV medium. Their customer base is also less likely to use social media for its "cool" capabilities and more likely to use it as one more way of obtaining information.
The other type of retailer I mentioned, let's call them "hipster" retailers for lack of a better term, probably already knows a great deal about their Facebook fans and how to effectively target them. As a result, hipster retailers will be uniquely positioned to craft the right video content and send it to the right Facebook consumers at the right time.
Given the company's overall track record, video ads will likely become a permanent part of the Facebook landscape once they are launched. But they may prove less effective than hoped and evolve into something very different than what they started as. Unless you are a retailer with a very large marketing budget or a tradition of social media innovation, you may want to let a few pioneers establish the proving ground for video ads on Facebook.

i love the fact that the song is called micheal jackson, instead of michael lol

I couldn't even listen to all of it.
Imagine that, a tribute to one of the best performers with a laundry list of top songs ..... and that tribute is a song that would probably make his ears bleed, if he was alive ....

You know, not even saying "...but his heart is in the right place" does that song justice. IT'S HORRIBLE!!!! I can't believe he had the audacity to even conceive of it let alone record it. Good Lord!!
I couldn't have said it better myself.The only MJ thing about this song is: "It's BAD"!
To quote Oklahoma State Football coach Mike Gundy after his famous meltdown, that song "it's garbage" and "it makes me want to puke"
forget michael being dead, he is killing hip hop right in front of us...
even i am a better emcee then him....
but ron would school me in ball, so were even...

Pre-MLB Nomo & Ichiro in SI
The news that Yu Darvish has finally signed with the Rangers inspired me (again) to do a little digging into the history of Japanese ballplayers in the Major Leagues. Not that we're talking ancient history here. Other than the Giants' 1960s relief pitcher Masanori Murakami, the only major league Japanese players have been playing only since Hideo Nomo found a loophole in his contract and retired from Japanese baseball to make his way to the Dodgers in 1995.
The first mention of Nomo in Sports Illustrated came in February of that year, shortly after he discovered his path to the majors. Despite being a big star in the Far East, Nomo and his fight to get into American baseball was unknown stateside:
His Tokyo-based agent, Don Nomura, recently retained a Los Angeles counterpart, Arn Tellem, to comb through Nomo's contract with the Buffaloes, and together they discovered a gaping loophole. While the standard major league contract prohibits, say, Barry Bonds from announcing his retirement from the San Francisco Giants and then signing to play for any other team anywhere in the world, it seems that Japanese contracts restrict a retiring player only from playing for other Japanese clubs. As a result Nomo, who's 26 and has always dreamed of testing himself in the American major leagues, has announced his retirement—and may become one of the most sought-after pensioners in baseball history.
The "Nipponese Valenzuela" is about as prescient of a comment as you could make in this circumstance. Whatever SI writer contributed that piece to the "Scorecard" should feel awfully pleased with himself. When the Dodgers gave Nomo a $2 million signing bonus after having seen only a two-minute highlight reel (and not even having full access to his Japanese stats!), Giants manager Dusty Baker said "How do you make an evaluation on somebody you haven't seen pitch? It shows that [the Dodgers] have more money than us. They can take a chance. This is probably what you call a speculative investment. Wildcatting." How times have changed.
The second (and still biggest) Japanese player to capture American fans' hearts in a magical way came six years later, when the Orix Blue Wave posted Ichiro Suzuki. Ichiro's first SI mention came nearly two years prior:
Suzuki, an outfielder who's called simply Ichiro in Japan, is a .350 hitter in his seven Pacific League seasons. In 1994 he batted .385, highest ever for a Japanese player. "I have enjoyed seeing players like Ken Griffey Jr. up close and comparing my game to theirs," he said on Sunday through an interpreter. "If it's possible, I want to someday play in the United States."
Now how can I let that quote go by without including my favorite Ichiro quote of all time?
As with pretty much every baseball player, there's no way of knowing how Yu Darvish will fare in the big leagues. Success stories of Hideo Nomo and Ichiro only tell us so much. There are plenty of Hideki Irabu and Dice-K stories as well to make anyone way. Until we get to actually see Darvish try his talents against new division foe Albert Pujols and the rest of the league, it's nice to look back and see that, at least for some Japanese players, their future MLB success was somewhat predictable.

It is no doubt that there are so many discussions in this forum about achieving higher consciousness
such as meditation absorptions, material realm, immaterial realm and other supermundane consciousness.
The question I have here is whether it is possible that the consciousness be moved in to the woeful states as well?
Are the incidents that people possess by demons etc, the result of this consciousness?
What the courses of such mental states?
Are there any Buddhist stories about this sorts of incidences?
See page 341 of Planes of Existence for further information.

I have a fluid layout and I want to ensure that an image is always in the top right hand corner and on the lower left hand corner how can this be done in css3 (it is something like a border but the outline is only in 2 corners). Lastly please note i have a header, footer and 3 other divs floated left between them just mentioning them in case it matters. Also my page is within a container class so the border should be on the ends of the container.
I think we need to see an example of what you are doing—either a screen shot or a link. One way to place those images you mentioned is with position: absolute. For example, you could set one image to
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
hmm am having difficulty uploading the image of how it looks but its simply an image in those corners of the container
Yeah, it can be troublesome. I've found if you click Go Advanced when posting (bottom right) then click Manage Attachments, you can upload images with no problem.
Ok so i attached the pic and well as you can see there are some nice stylish lets call them thingys at the top right hand corner and the lower left hand corner I want to implement that using css3. However in my page build this page is actually a div called container which is in the body of my code its about 80% of the body
OK, if you really want to use CSS3 multiple background images, you can add those images to the container div (assuming the container has a class of "container"—so change to suit):
.container {
background: #000000;
background: #000000 url("top-right.png") no-repeat right top, url("bot-left.png") no-repeat left bottom;
or maybe
.container {
background-image:url(top-right.png), url(bot-left.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat, no-repeat;
background-position: right top, left bottom;
If you want it to work in older browsers, you could instead wrap the container div in one or two divs and put each image separately on them (one div if you don't already have a background image on the container, two divs if you do).
Of course, change the background color to whatever color the container actually has, if any.
i have a gradient already on the container is there anyway to put this image over the background image that already exist
Again, you could use CSS3 to put images all in one element:
.container {
background: url("gradient.gif") #000;
background: url("top-right.png") no-repeat right top, url("bot-left.png") no-repeat left bottom, url("gradient.gif") repeat-x left top #000;
remember, you'll then need to add the class 'container' to your outermost element ( or even the BODY element) also be aware that browsers which don't support CSS3 wont see the extra two graphics.
am actually using a css3 gradient so i looks like this
background-image: linear-gradient(bottom, #0A000B 0%, #372646 61%, #0A000B 100%);
so I need to suit it to that
I actually tried
background-image: url(../images/Top_Right.png) no-repeat right top, url(../images/Bott_Left.png) no-repeat left bottom, -webkit-gradient(
left bottom,
left top,
color-stop(0, #0A000B),
color-stop(0.61, #372646),
color-stop(1, #0A000B)
but that doesn't work.

In 1998, Microsoft was under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for antitrust violations, including charges that it held a monopoly position in computer operating systems and used its market power to reach anticompetitive agreements with its partners.
In his defense, Bill Gates wrote a response piece in the June 13, 1998, edition of the Economist. It's worth quoting:
The current popularity of Windows does not mean that its market position is unassailable. The potential financial reward for building the "next Windows" is so great that there will never be a shortage of new technologies seeking to challenge it.
In a similar vein, Gates told Forbes author Daniel Gross in 1997:
We've done some good work, but all of these products become obsolete so fast… It will be some finite number of years, and I don't know the number — before our doom comes.
This notion that technological change comes swiftly, is unrelenting and has no sympathy for incumbents is a recurring meme. Certainly no one dared predict that Apple would overtake Microsoft back in 1997. But in the late '90s, the Justice Department thought it should help shape the future of technology. There's a cautionary tale here.
Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice has set its sights on Apple and a handful of publishers, whom they are accusing of eBook price collusion. Fair enough. Hell, let the EU jump on, too.
The danger here is that these well-intentioned bureaucrats may create another problem by solving the one allegedly at hand. As the esteemed Frederic Filloux points out in, "Ebooks: Defending the Agency Model," Amazon's Kindle format presently accounts for 60% of eBook sales. Sure, that's not monopoly territory.
But a ruling that undermines Amazon's competitors, while giving it a leg up in the eBook market, may very well take things in that direction.
As Bill Gates pointed out many years ago, bureaucrats often tread on soggy ground when they jump into technology wars, especially those of the disruptive kind. Yes, the current battle is also about prices. And market share. But the underlying causality is something quite different. Oh ye regulators, be careful what you wish for…

"It's an honor to be part of something special like the Charlie Daniels' Scholarship for Heroes event," said Black, a popular Country music artist for more than three decades. "As if it weren't enough that Charlie Daniels asked me to sing—our troops occupy a very special place in our history. We have to do our utmost to make sure the part we play in their history is worthy of their sacrifice and commitment. This event is playing a fantastic role, making higher education a reality for returning veterans. I'm thrilled to be a part of this special evening."
Daniels launched the event in March 2010 to create a greater awareness of the national Veterans Yellow Ribbon education program and to raise funds for veterans to attend Lipscomb University. Lipscomb's Yellow Ribbon Enhancement Program offers eligible Post-9/11 GI Bill veterans and their family members an undergraduate degree tuition-free or a graduate degree either tuition-free or at a greatly reduced tuition rate.
Members of the military and their families are invited as guests of the event's corporate sponsors. Attendees will have an opportunity to make a donation at the event. Proceeds from the event benefit the Charlie Daniels' Scholarship for Heroes Fund benefiting veteran students at Lipscomb University.
"Our veterans know that freedom isn't free, but we think their education should be. At Lipscomb we have a very unique opportunity to help open doors for our veterans through higher education," said Jim Humphrey, associate dean of campus life and director of veterans services at Lipscomb. "We appreciate Charlie Daniels and his organization as well as those artists who have joined us for this event the past five years. The awareness and funds that they raise for our program are impacting the lives of our veterans and their families in significant ways."
Daniels will be joined by some of music's hottest artists. Clint Black, has had 22 singles hit number one on the Billboard country charts. Black River Entertainment artist and "Dancing with the Stars" champion Kellie Pickler released her fourth album, The Woman I Am, last year. Grammy-nominated group, The Grascals, have become one of the most acclaimed bands on today's bluegrass scene for their innovative mingling of bluegrass and country music. The Navy Band Sea Chanters is the United States Navy's official chorus. The American Hitmen, Marines and brothers Dan and Tim Cord, formed in the midst of battle in Fallujah, Iraq, and have recently been featured on "America's Got Talent." Today, the band also includes former Marine Dan Jarmon, bass guitar, and drummer Phil Snyder.
Event sponsors and donors include Copperweld, Humana, Grand Avenue, Twice Daily, Clear Channel, Shofner Vision Center, Lipscomb, Glover Group Entertainment.

It's opening day of the 2011 baseball season which means that winter really is over (forecast of snowfall here in the Northeast notwithstanding). To celebrate, here are some of my favorite baseball books. All descriptions come from the publishers' websites.
Wait Til Next Year: A Memoir by Doris Kearns Goodwin
The story of a young girl growing up in the suburbs of New York in the 1950s, when owning a single-family home on a tree-lined street meant the realization of dreams, when everyone knew everyone else on the block, and the children gathered in the streets to play from sunup to sundown. The neighborhood was equally divided among Dodger, Giant, and Yankee fans, and the corner stores were the scenes of fierce and affectionate rivalries.
The Boys of Summer by Roger Kahn
A classic about the young men who learned to play ball in the '30s and '40s, by a sportswriter who grew up near Ebbets Field and who covered the 1950s Dodgers.

LAKE COUNTY -- Two Willits women were airlifted to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital after an off-road vehicle they rode in crashed on Indian Valley Reservoir Road Saturday.
Bryan Burgess, 52, of Ukiah was driving a 2012 Can Am side-by-side all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on the road north of Walker Ridge Road when he lost control and the ATV overturned, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Joe Wind.
Authorities allege Burgess, who suffered minor injuries, was drunk at the time of the crash.
Front-right passenger Elizabeth Roderick, 47, of Willits suffered major injuries and was airlifted by Calstar to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, Wind stated.
Norma Miner, 55, of Willits was riding unrestrained on the back of the ATV and was thrown off it during the crash, Wind stated. She was transported by REACH to the Santa Rosa hospital.
Krystal Bouser, 19, of Willits was also riding on the back and was ejected from the ATV during the rollover, Wind stated. She suffered minor injuries.
Burgess was later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence causing injury.

The core of the company's approach is controlled-release of particles using Precision Particle Fabrication technology. How does it work?
Precision is the strength of Orbis Biosciences and its approach to drug delivery. At the core of the company's approach is controlled-release of particles, using Precision Particle Fabrication technology, that can safely and effectively deliver them in products used in a wide range of industries.
Precise Distribution and Particle Control
Precision Particle Fabrication technology produces uniform microparticles and microcapsules with a narrow size distribution between 20-300 microns and precise control over particle morphology (e.g., porosity or coating thickness). Originally based on joint research in materials science and pharmaceutics, Orbis, which opened in 2008, has combined academic work and industry practices to develop this technology. Scalability is a key advantage for Orbis' patented technology over competitors. The flexible, single-step technique also easily integrates into existing processes.
Current industry methods of drug delivery include injection and oral intake, says Orbis President and CEO Maria Flynn. Particle size and composition are key attributes for both manufacturers and consumers. Drugs delivered by injection have a narrow particle size for application. Flynn adds, "Oral drugs with large particle sizes can be grainy or gritty."
Controlling particle size and shell thickness gives manufacturing clients control of delivery to consistently improve:
• Release profiles – creating the desired release for improved consumer compliance (sustained, pulsatile, staged, delayed, modulated)
• Safety and efficacy – increasing time in the optimal concentration range
• Taste masking – taste masking orally administered drugs and foul-tasting nutrients.
Orbis can work with client companies to create new product lines and reinvent their current portfolios by enabling unprecedented control of critical particle parameters. The application for the technology spans the pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage and consumer product industries.
The Top-Notch Team at Orbis
Bo Fishback and Cory Berkland founded Orbis, based in Kansas City, Kan., in 2008. Fishback earned his BS in Biomedical Engineering from Southern Methodist University and MBA from Harvard Business School. With a strong, proven entrepreneurial streak, his career path includes notable achievements as founder and CEO of Zaarly; vice president of entrepreneurship for The Kauffman Foundation; co-founder of LightSpeed Genomics; managing director of Biomed Valley Discoveries and consultant for PureTech Ventures.
Not to be outdone, Berkland has a PhD in chemical and biomolecular engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana, where he co-invented and developed Precision Particle Fabrication technology. He is a professor of pharmaceutical chemistry and chemical and petroleum engineering at The University of Kansas.
Operationally, Maria Flynn leads Orbis and applies her business development experience from Cerner Corporation and technical experience as an engineer. She earned a BS in Civil Engineering from Kansas State University, MS in Environmental Engineering from Stanford University and MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
Milind Singh, PhD, leads the technical team at Orbis. He has more than five years of experience developing a variety of controlled-release solutions using Precision Particle Fabrication technology.
Altogether, Orbis employs a full-time staff of seven, plus consultants.
|Key Aspects of Precision Particle Fabrication:
|Continuous-flow, high-volume nozzle technology with precise control over key attributes responsible for controlled release, including size, composition, coating and materials.Controlled diameter up to 1mm.Production rates of kg/hr to kg/min, depending on the application.Flexible and customizable to accommodate almost any active ingredient:
Proven capability to produce a variety of construction release profiles:
New Developments
While Orbis is still in the development phase for its portfolio of products, the company's client roster is an indicator of its tactical strength in the marketplace. Pharmaceutical clients represent about 75 percent of Orbis' business, but other major customers also have enlisted the company's expertise.
"We have a contract with the Department of Defense to develop long-lasting, anti-microbial meals ready to eat, or MREs," Flynn says. "It's been three years in development."
Drug development varies depending on the drug in question and the client's goals. New drugs can take longer to achieve another wave of innovation versus refining an existing drug like a vaccine booster, for instance.
Other uses for controlled-release delivery might involve developing a longer-lasting fragrance or to protect ingredients from each other in a solution until they are supposed to interact. "The hurdles depend on what a client wants to do," says Flynn. Some projects are for existing products. "It's not all proof of concept."
Although Flynn is unable to divulge more client names, she says Orbis is working with Top 5, publicly-traded companies in the pharmaceutical, consumer products and animal health industries.
The pace of development and entry into the marketplace depends on many factors. Typically, it takes three to five years to develop and bring a product to market. Orbis has plans to release several products in the next year.
Flynn says, "We're good at partnering with companies, but you can only go as fast as the clients are able. We're nimble, but we're also collaborative in our operations."
Satisfying Work
For Flynn, the company's novel approach to controlled-release drug delivery is exciting. "The breadth of products we're working with make it really interesting," she says.
Helping others is also a motivational tool. "Increasing the compliance of people taking their medicine makes a difference. It makes you feel good about what you're doing."

To celebrate a milestone birthday this year, I treated myself to a trip I'd wanted to make for a long time: the Portland Swap Meet in Portland, Oregon. Having been to most of the other big West Coast events including the San Diego and Turlock winter meets, Long Beach, Pomona, the L.A. Roaster's "Father's Day" swap meet, and the old Long Beach Ford Model T swap meet, I had a high expectation level to fill. Needless to say, Portland surpassed my expectations and was arguably one of the best, if not the best, antique and vintage auto swap meet I've attended in a long time. Though I've never attended East Coast swaps in Carlisle and Hershey (still on my swap meet pilgrimage path), I'll go out on a very short limb and describe the Portland Auto Swap as a "West Coast Carlisle/Hershey".
The three-day Portland Swap Meet is held at the giant Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center, and hosted by six local area antique automobile clubs. It's both an indoor and outdoor antique and vintage auto parts and vehicle/truck swap that boasts more than 4,200 vendor stalls and numerous vehicle sales stalls. Unlike at most swap meets, vendors here are mostly located indoors so you can swap and stay dry rain or shine. The location has a municipal train stop on the premises and is only five miles from the airport. If you're looking for N.O.S., reproduction, used, mint, "shelf-worn", wore-out sheetmetal, trim, accessories, speed equipment, driveline parts, instrumentation, wheels, hub caps, glass, hardware, literature, trinkets, signs, bric-a-brac, complete cars, bodies or the rare or unusual whatchamacallit, chances are you'll find it here. Shuttle buses run swappers back and forth from a nearby parking field.
As an added bonus for enthusiastic parts scroungers, an alternate "High-Performance" swap meet is held concurrently at Portland International. Raceway, next to the Expo Center. Even if you don't buy anything, the experience is well worth at least one trip to Portland. For more information visit the website: www.portlandswapmeet.com.

Cyclists beat the traffic for Gettysburg battlefield tourJuly 7, 2013 8:00 AM
GETTYSBURG, Pa. -- Bicycles offered one of the best ways to get around this crowded Adams County borough Saturday.
Local streets and state highways in and around the town and the adjoining Gettysburg National Military Park filled with cars, trucks and buses. Saturday was the penultimate day of the community's commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the epic Civil War battle fought there in July 1863.
"Riding a bike through the park is much better than being in those lines of cars," David Kelly of Alexandria, Va., said. He and the other riders touring historic sites along Union lines took a water break under trees near the Pennsylvania Monument.
"We just came from Little Round Top," he said. "Getting up there was taking 40 minutes by car and just four minutes by bike."
Not all the visitors to Gettysburg traveling on two wheels were doing so under their own power. While Mr. Kelly and his friends listened to a brief talk by licensed battlefield guide Bob Steenstra, a gaggle of Segway riders headed north on Hancock Avenue. They were headed toward the spot on the battlefield often described as "The High Water Mark of the Confederacy." At that site, "The Angle" and the "Copse of Trees" mark where Southern troops broke through Federal lines but were not able to hold the ground.
Many of the roads through the military park are one-way for motor vehicles, leaving plenty of room for both walkers and cyclists. While the number of bicycles seen around the park represented just a tiny fraction of the number of cars, the bike rack at the park's Museum and Visitor Center was filling up in mid-afternoon.
Ambitious cyclists who follow the recommended auto-tour route marked on U.S. National Park Service maps would cover 24 miles and pass 16 sites that played important roles in the three-day battle. Riders, however, can map out their own, shorter routes.
Sidewalks around Lincoln Square, at the center of downtown Gettysburg, were as crowded as U.S. Routes 30 and 15. The result was that cyclists had to walk their vehicles through those areas, sharing the space with pedestrians.
The nine-day commemoration of the bloodiest battle in the history of the Americas will conclude this afternoon with a re-creation of Pickett's Charge by several thousand re-enactors on the Redding Farm. The site is about 2 miles north of downtown Gettysburg. It marks the third such event recalling the unsuccessful Confederate attempt to break the center of the Union line on July 3, 1863.
Back at the actual battlefield, National Park Service rangers will lead hikes and give free talks today on different aspects of the fight. Civil War historians will continue their series of one-hour talks, question-and-answer sessions and book signings. Those events will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in a tent outside the Museum and Visitors Center.homepage - region - civilwar - gettysburgstories

Sizing Up the Pre-Earnings Action
Pfizer (PFE) is a current long holding and the biggest name to report earnings before the bell tomorrow. Although this has been a slow but steady breakout name, I'm not expecting much on the earnings front as far as price movement goes. I think just $0.25 to maybe $0.50 is about all we see out of this giant. I'll be a buyer on any pullback to $26, but I'll still be interested in a trade if Pfizer drops to $26.50 and holds. I don't plan to trade this one before earnings.
I don't plan to take a position in VMWare (VMW) before earnings, but this will be one I will watch closely in the after-hours session and into tomorrow's trading. Options are looking for about an $8 move into February expiration. While that is altogether possible, I don't like playing it into earnings. The targets here look like $103 and $94, only about $4 to $4.50 away from the current price....272 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

text: Doctors in an obesity study said that earlier research had shown green tea increased fat-burning capacity and wanted to see if epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the main catechin in green tea, would do the same. The body stores fat for sustained energy, but when the body does not regularly metabolize these fat stores, fat accumulates. In the study, 10 healthy overweight or obese men took EGCG with or without caffeine, caffeine alone or a placebo. After three days, the men fasted overnight and then ate a standard meal. Two hours after the meal, researchers measured fat-burning capacity. Compared to placebo, those who had taken a 600 mg dose of EGCG burned 20 percent more fat, and those who had taken 300 mg of EGCG—a lower dose—burned 33 percent more fat.

A HUGE crane which dominates the skyline of Devizes fascinated five-year-old Amelia Boyd so much she wrote to the company using it – and saw it up close.
The crane is being used to build 37 retirement apartments by McCarthy & Stone at The Wharf.
Amelia, of Nursteed Road, Devizes, had asked her mother, Alice, about the crane most days as they walked along the towpath to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School.
Mrs Boyd suggested she write a letter with her questions. She did so and handed it in to the site office. She was delighted to receive a reply the next day.
Mrs Boyd said: "Amelia was thrilled to receive a letter addressed specifically to her and promptly sat down to write a thank you letter to the 'crane man,' which was longer than the original letter."
Amelia's original letter asked questions such as 'why is the crane so big' and 'why does it need to be so big'.
The reply Amelia received from Steve Reed, the senior site manager, included diagrams of the crane. The detailed response explained the type of crane they are using and explained it was used to build up the three floors and put the roof on.
But more was to come when Amelia was invited to visit the site and see how the crane works for herself.
Mr Reed told the Gazette: "I was delighted to receive Amelia's letter. I thought it was lovely that she had taken an interest in the crane and what was being built on site.
"I included some vouchers for the local toy shop as I wanted to send her a little treat and I received a nice thank you letter in return.
"It's encouraging to know that the local community, including the younger generation, are taking an interest in our development."

A DOG-owner from Cam and Freya, her 23-month-old Kooikerhondje, proved every dog does have its day after walking away with three prizes at Crufts.
Christina Suiter, of Tyndale Road, and Freya fought off competition from a number of other Kooikerhondje's to scoop one of the most acclaimed awards, Best in Breed.
The talented tail-wagger also came first in the post-graduate bitch category as well as winning best bitch.
Christina, who has run dog parlour Doggy Fashions at her home in Woodfield for seven years, said she was ecstatic at her dog's achievements.
"It means the world to me, it's just amazing. I was really excited, very nervous but I loved the experience," she said.
She said that she wanted to thank Woodfield-based dog training club Woof-It for helping her get over her stage fright.
"I have worked very hard this year. I suffer from ring nerves so had to work really hard to overcome that so I wasn't expecting this win," she said.
"Freya was fantastic, she really pulled it off.
"She's a complete diva, she's naughty but she's great fun and has taught me a lot about showing because she is hard work."
The 49-year-old told the Gazette she was not expecting to win again after Freya won two awards as a puppy in last year's competition.
"She is a good example of the breed but she is just coming into her own in the last couple of months and this year she really pulled it out of the bag," she added.
This year's Crufts attracted dog lovers from all walks of life, with 45 overseas countries represented throughout the four-day show from March 6 to 9.
Freya was one of more than 21,500 dogs at the NEC in Birmingham for the world's biggest dog show, presented by the Kennel Club, which has been running for 122 years.
