Australia 231; Sri Lanka 226 (Australia won by 5 Runs)
The scorecard of the match is here.
Australia managed to notch up their second victory of the CB series after a late fight back by Angelo Mathews and the Lankan team almost thwarted their efforts earlier in the day. The win further solidifies Australia's lead at the top of the table.
In the match, Australia had a Team IMPACT of 2.16 whereas Sri Lanka's was 2.07.
All figures between 0 and 5 unless otherwise mentioned.
Sri Lanka:
*Figures in the brackets represent the players' Match IMPACT when it is not restricted between 0 and 5, as it is in a career context.
Angelo Mathews
was the player with the highest IMPACT (7.30*) in the match with his all-round performance (Both Batting and Bowling IMPACT above 1) His rear-guard attack with the Sri Lankan tail-enders almost managed to gift them a victory which seemed improbable at a point of time.
Another player who impressed with his all-round skills today in the match was the Australian skipper Michael Clarke, his overall MATCH IMPACT of 6.84* was second only to Mathews. His knock of 56 during the Australian essay was the only knock of solidarity displayed by any of the Aussie batsmen. His decision to bring himself on while the Sri Lankan innings also paid rich dividends as he struck with his first ball taking out the well-set Chandimal.
Earlier in the day the Australian top order failed miserably to build a solid platform as both Wade and Ponting departed with a score of only 1 run against their name. David Warner however failed to get bogged down by the early proceedings and carried on with his usual aggressive stroke play. His Batting IMPACT of 2.93 was second only to that of Michael Clarke's.
Warner also managed to absorb pressure (Pressure IMPACT) as his knock was at a time when Australia had lost their top order very cheaply and needed him the most. Even though Australia managed to score at a brisk rate during the middle overs, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and in the end it took Clint McKay (Batting IMPACT 1.48) to show some skills with his bat to hand Australia a competitive score of 231.
Sri Lanka in their bowling efforts were disciplined throughout the day, a statement well justified by the fact that four of their bowlers namely- Senanayake, Malinga, Mathews and Kulasekara had a Bowling IMPACT of over 2. Kulasekara in particular was responsible for Australia's trouble at the start of their innings and also had the best Economy IMPACT among all the Lankan bowlers.
Sri Lanka's reply to Australia's first innings' score of 231 started off on a bright note with both Sangakarra and Dilshan leading the chase from the front after the early loss of Tharanga. However it took a brilliant effort on the field by McKay off his own bowling to dislodge Sangakarra in the form of a run out. Sangakarra's fall coupled with Xavier Doherty's nagging accuracy slowed down Sri Lanka considerably and would go on to be the phase where Sri Lanka in totality lost the plot.
Xavier Doherty (Bowling IMPACT 2.82) was highly impressive with the ball and got rid of Thirimanne and Senanayake at the most opportune moment possible for the Aussies. Doherty also managed to have an Economy IMPACT for his tight bowling and ended up with figures of 10-0-24-2. Dinesh Chandimal (Batting IMPACT 2.24) paced his innings brilliantly for his knock of 38 before being adjudged leg before wicket to the bowling of Michael Clarke. Under fire Tillakaratne Dilshan (Batting IMPACT 2.49) also managed to hand Sri Lanka a brisk start with his knock of 40 before falling to the only wicket of Ryan Harris and had the second best batting impact for his team after Mathews.

Vale: Iron Ore Production Recovered, JPM Maintains Buy, But Stock Falls Anyhow
Vale (VALE) reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings on strong iron ore production. Revenue came in at $0.72, better than the consensus $0.64. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.9 billion versus the consensus $5.7 billion.
This is due to the rebound in iron ore production. Here is J.P. Morgan analysts Rodolfo Angele, Mandeep Singh Manihani, and Lucas Ferreira, who have a Buy on Vale:
Iron ore production recovered 17% QoQ to 85.9Mt, driving sales +16% QoQ to 83.6Mt. Production recovered across all systems and LTM production reached 312Mt.
Vale continued to reduce operation cost. Here is JPM again:
Impressive cost improvements continued, with 9M13 savings reaching $2.0B (vs. $1.6B in 1H13) – 56% of the savings came from lower operating costs. Iron ore cash costs declined 8.5% QoQ to $22.1/t, 3.9% below JPMe $23.0/t. Finally, SG&A declined further and reached 2.5% of sales (vs. 2.9% in 2Q).
Vale trades at a discount to other iron ore producers because of its distance from China. For example, on a P/E basis, Vale trades at 8.2 times, Rio Tinto (RIO) at 9.8 times, BHP (BHP) at 11.3 times.
By mid-day, Vale's shares are down 4.8%, following investors' concerns China may tighten credit after the Congress get-together this weekend. The Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index was down 0.5% today.

The Citadel Alumni Association has named Los Altos Hills resident Bill Krause The Citadel's Alumnus of the Year for 2013.
The Citadel Nov. 1 unveiled a portrait of Krause for its Distinguished Alumni Gallery.
A fellow alumnus nominated Krause, who was then approved by the school's Board of Visitors.
Inclusion in the gallery is limited to graduates who, through their achievements in the years following graduation, bring honor to the school in any field of civilian or military endeavor. The Citadel is located in Charleston, S.C.
Earlier this year, Krause and his wife, Gay, donated $9.1 million to support, advance and endow the college's leadership development curriculum. The gift places the Krauses among the top three lifetime donors in the college's history.
Krause graduated from The Citadel in 1963 with a degree in electrical engineering. He received an honorary doctorate of science in 2000.
He is president of LWK Ventures, a private investment firm specializing in mentor capital.
Krause guided 3Com Corp. through its high-growth years in the 1980s as president and CEO, and subsequently as chairman of the board through 1993, when he retired. Krause's leadership transformed 3Com from a venture capital start-up into a $1 billion-plus data networking company.
The Citadel's Krause Center for Leadership and Ethics was created in 2003 with a $2 million gift from the Krauses.
Krause reinforced that the support for The Citadel is a team effort shared with Gay, a former teacher, counselor and middle school principal who founded the Krause Center for Innovation, a teacher training center at Foothill College.

Well, for anyone who thought that Obama would do a 180 once elected, I hope you can see how wrong you were.
The administration's official position is still "Fuck off, business as usual."
[–]adamsd2 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Yet alcohol remains freely available to anyone over the age of 21. If the government's logic is based around science how does it ignore the personal health and societal problems caused by alcohol? I know I am preaching to the choir, and you know that the entire response from the fed can be boiled down to one thing. "Alcohol had a HUGE lobby and pays your elected officials to keep weed illegal while literally selling poison in a bottle to anyone who wants it."
Not IF, but WHEN pot is legal I hope history doesn't just celebrate the freedom but also remembers what gigantic pieces of shit the many administrations and officials have been over these many years.

In the first of this four-part episode arc, Anakin and Ahsoka are called back from the frontlines to investigate a deadly explosion at the Jedi Temple. Clues surface that a Jedi might have been responsible for the blast in Sabotage, Saturday, February 9th at 9:30am ET/PT on Cartoon Network.
· The four episodes of this arc are all named after Alfred Hitchcock films: Sabotage (1936), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), To Catch a Thief (1955) and The Wrong Man (1955).
· Im afraid one can become the other, says Anakin, referring to past political idealists who have betrayed the Jedi, including Count Dooku and General Krell from Season Four. Its ironic, given his future.
· Russo-ISCs speech pattern, name, and habit of flipping his visor to punctuate his speech are all nods to David Carusos role in CSI Miami.
· In addition to an image of a crossed-out clone trooper, the Temple protestor signs said The Jedi are corrupt, Stop cloning violence

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Please review all information listed on this section.
For a complete listing of adoptable pets or application visit our website www.kyrescueltd.yolasite.com
Still a bit damp from their bath. This litter has been in foster care with Renee & she will be posting their names on the first pic of each pup. These pups were born on 7/14 their are some pups that are 20+ lbs and BIG while some are around 12lbs right now so I would say there was more than one daddy dog to this litter. The red leashed pups are girls and the blue and white leash pups are boys. Some are fluffy, while others have medium length coat pups. A few have double dew claws. All received their first puppy vaccines 10/2/16, dewormer, Nextgard dose. They must have two puppy vaccines to go on transport for an adoptive home.
Adoptable pets available for adoption start in foster care in KY/TN. This allows for time to start each animal on a vetting schedule ie de-wormer, vaccines, vet apts. This is for the animals health & well being.
This rescue has two forms of adoption and animals are posted where future foster homes may be if not adopted into a home first. Direct adoption; which is once an animal has been out of the shelter for 2 plus wks has two or more 5 way puppy vaccines and your able to meet transport and take the pup home. Meet n greet adoption is IF the pet is not adopted first and arrives in foster care up north. This will occur once all vaccines, vetting and willing foster home is available. Transport takes adopted pets first from all agencies so availability depends on the transport companies open spots.
For more information on this adoptable pet, adoption, online application please visit our rescue website.
For additional pics/album please join our Facebook family

A Wal-Mart grocery store will open later this year in Torrance in a portion of the Hawthorne Boulevard space vacated by Kmart, a move widely expected since the company axed the grocery component of another store nearby.
The 30,000-square-foot Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market - the fourth in Los Angeles County - is also likely to rachet up the level of competition in the crowded Southern California grocery market, already viewed as among the nation's most cutthroat.
The other Wal-Mart opened in September on Hawthorne Boulevard across from Del Amo Fashion Center. That 77,000-square-foot store, on the site formerly occupied by Mervyns, includes some dry grocery items but company officials scrapped the grocery component that was to take up about a quarter of its floor space.
Since that decision, it was expected the retail giant would find another site in Torrance for one of its grocery stores. But city officials only confirmed this week that Wal-Mart had been quietly given the required administrative approvals for the Neighborhood Market late last year.
"Grocery is a permitted use so there was no special review required," said Gregg Lodan, planning manager. "They just needed building permits for their interior build-out of the site."
A Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market typically includes a bakery, deli and pharmacy, as well as fresh food.
Wal-Mart, which is a nonunionized retailer, keeps quiet about new locations as long as it can, especially in Southern California where local unions have targeted its expansion efforts.
For example, in December 2010, a shadowy union-backed group called Building an Economically Sound Torrance filed a lawsuit against the city claiming it had failed to perform a required environmental analysis before approving the Wal-Mart.
That lawsuit was quickly tossed.
A legal challenge was also filed against a proposed Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market in the Chinatown section of Los Angeles.
The former Torrance Kmart, which closed in January 2012, now houses a 50,000-square-foot Orchard Supply Hardware to the north of the site and a 25,100-square-foot HomeGoods adjacent to Marshalls.
The Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market at 19340 Hawthorne Blvd. will sit between them when it opens late this year, Wal-Mart spokeswoman Rachel Wall said.
"This project is expected to create about 75 contract construction jobs over the year," she said. "The store will create approximately 65 new full- and part-time jobs."
A temporary hiring center near the store will open in the second half of 2013. Full-time Wal-Mart workers in California earn an average of $12.89 an hour, Wall said.
Wal-Mart also has neighborhood markets in Downey, Bell Gardens and Panorama City. In addition to the planned stores in Torrance and downtown Los Angeles, another is proposed for Altadena.
Wal-Mart is now the nation's No. 1 grocery chain and its first Torrance store is sure to reverberate through the local industry.
Traditional grocery store chains have reportedly seen their market share shrink considerably in the region in recent years since a devastating 2003 strike.
The five-month strike cost the likes of Ralphs hundreds of millions in profit and severed long-standing customer loyalties, according to New York-based consulting firm Strategic Resource Group.
"Up to 20 percent of those consumers never came back," said Managing Director Burt Flickinger III. "They started shopping at Costco - everything from Costco to Whole Foods to Walgreens."
Not to mention the likes of El Segundo-based Fresh & Easy, although that relatively recent entrant into the grocery store industry is not doing well financially.
Fresh & Easy, owned by British supermarket behemoth Tesco, is in the midst of a strategic review of the underperforming chain that could result in its sale or closure. Fresh & Easy, which has a couple of hundred stores in California, Nevada and Arizona, has invested about $2 billion in the business since it opened in 2007, SRG observed.
Last June, SuperValue Inc. announced it would lay off 2,500 workers at its underperforming Albertsons stores in Nevada and Southern California and later last year closed 60 of them, including 18 in Southern California.
Now the company has sold off five grocery chains, including Albertsons, after years of being squeezed by competitors.
The Torrance Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market plunges into a local grocery store market crowded with nearby competitors that include Trader Joe's, Albertsons, Fresh & Easy, Super A, Ralphs and even a Target.
But despite the competition, Wal-Mart has steadily increased its market share in the grocery segment.
At the end of November, Wal-Mart had 257 neighborhood markets, a concept the company began in 1998, according to its website.
Wal-Mart said at its annual investors meeting in October that it is accelerating development of so-called small format stores.
The company wants more than 500 in operation by 2016 that it projects will bring in about $10 billion in sales.

Born in London and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Femi began his musical career playing in his father's band, Egypt 80. In 1986, Femi started his own group, Positive Force, and began establishing himself as an artist independent of his father's legacy. In the mid-'90s, Motown offered him a record deal with its boutique label Tabu; Femi's eponymous debut album resulted. Released in 1995, the record won praise throughout Europe and Africa for offering a more streamlined and accessible version of his father's music. Femi embarked on an extended promotional tour, crossing first Africa, then Europe in 1996 and 1997. His solo career was off to a successful start, despite the dissolution of the Tabu label (and Femi's record deal with it).
However, this problem became the least of Femi's concerns when his father died of AIDS-related complications in 1997. Shortly afterwards, his sister, Sola, also suffered an untimely death, making 1997 a truly dark year for Femi. He would later write "'97," a song that candidly reflects on this particularly tragic time. Yet with tragedy comes opportunity in the world of music, and Femi ultimately signed a major-label record deal with Polygram in December 1997, only months after his father's death. MCA made the most out of the situation, repackaging and re-releasing much of Fela's catalog and setting the stage for Femi's MCA debut album in the process. Following months of press and hype, MCA released Shoki Shoki in early 1999 to widespread acclaim from such esteemed publications as The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and Vibe, not to mention other smaller publications.
A year later, Femi returned with his second album, Fight to Win, and toured the States with Jane's Addiction in an effort to cross over to a more mainstream audience. Part of this crossover effort meant aligning himself closer to hip-hop and its sizable audience. Fight to Win featured a number of respected rap artists like Mos Def and Common. As expected, critics celebrated the album, though Western masses seemed rather indifferent to both the record and Femi's concert trek with Jane's Addiction. Over the next decade, several recordings of live shows and compilations were released, but for the most part -- with the exception of making a vocal cameo as a radio station DJ in Grand Theft Auto IV -- he avoided the recording studio, opting to tour instead. In 2008, he re-emerged with his first album in seven years, Day by Day, a definitive album that helped to establish Femi as a true original with his own unique style. His 2011 effort Africa for Africa was a mix of new songs and older material in new recordings. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

Yukon is home to Canada's highest peak, the world's largest non-polar ice fields, several Canadian Heritage Rivers and healthy, abundant wildlife. From the crimson carpet of the tundra, to the majestic mountain peaks, the vast pristine wilderness of the Yukon beckons.
Yukon's jaw-dropping natural features are what set this place apart. This is a land rich with dramatic mountain vistas, wild rivers and crystal clear lakes. Close to 80 per cent remains pristine wilderness.
At least twenty mountains in the St. Elias Range in southwest Yukon exceed 4,000 metres, and more than a handful exceed 5,000 metres. Towering over them all and surrounded by vast icefields is Mount Logan, Canada's highest peak at 5,959 m.
The southern part of the Yukon is covered by vast coniferous boreal forest, rugged mountains, and a network of rivers and lakes. In the North, rolling arctic tundra stretches to the Arctic Ocean. Yukon's north coastline includes beaches, cliffs, sea ice, lagoons and coastal plains.
Yukon has over 70 canoeable wilderness rivers including four Canadian Heritage Rivers. Countless scenic lakes dot the landscape making the Yukon a significant reservoir of fresh water. Almost two-thirds of the territory is drained by the mighty Yukon River, Canada's second longest river.
The Big Salmon, Teslin, and storied Yukon River combine scenery, wildlife viewing, history, fishing and friendly rapids. Exhilarating rivers like the Alsek, Tatshenshini and Firth beckon for rafting. The Snake, Bonnet Plume and Wind rivers flow through one of the most remote regions of North America.
Glacial-fed Tagish, Marsh, Teslin, Bennett and Atlin lakes form the Southern Lakes. Camping and fishing abound along inviting roadside lakes like Kathleen, Fox, Five Mile, Frances, Frenchman and Chapman.
Yukon's vast wild regions, varied ecosystems, and relatively sparse human population make the Yukon a haven for some of North America's most rare and impressive species.
Yukon is home to abundant northern species like caribou, wolves and grizzly bears and millions of migratory birds. Lynx, coyotes, foxes and scores of small mammals thrive in its forests. The possibility for wildlife exists around every bend. Keep your eyes open and keep these tips in mind to make the most Yukon's wildlife viewing opportunities.
Wildlife viewing tips
Take your time and be quiet. Plan on stopping often, and slowly scan the landscape for movement. Wildlife are more active in early morning and evening. Take a short walk before breakfast or after dinner. You may be pleasantly surprised at what you find. Remember, in summer, the arctic evening lasts all night.
Keep your distance and use binoculars, spotting scopes, and telephoto lenses to get a more detailed look or a better photo without scaring the animal away or endangering yourself.
For more information on Yukon species, wildlife viewing tips, etiquette, precautions or self-guided wildlife viewing opportunities check out the Yukon Wildlife Viewing Guide
More than 80 percent of the Yukon is classified as wilderness and our world-class national and territorial parks promise iconic scenery, abundant wildlife and solitude. Visitors come to explore legendary northern parks including Kluane, Tombstone, Ivvavik and the historic Chilkoot Trail. Enjoy park infrastructure ranging from trails to interpretive centres to campgrounds.

Canberra coach David Furner will give two of his young playmakers a baptism of fire against Melbourne in Friday's NRL trial match in Geelong.
Mitch Cornish and Anthony Milford, who will be the Raiders' first-choice halves combination in the National Youth Competition this year, will be given at least 30 minutes to prove their worth against the premiers.
Furner, who has named a 24-man squad, is expecting Craig Bellamy to field a strong side, despite the absence of Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk, in what will be the Storm's only trial in Australia before flying to the UK for the World Club Challenge later this month.
Smith is involved in the NRL All Stars match in Brisbane and Slater (ankle) and Cronk (back) are injured.

LIVONIA, Mich. - School children at Saint Mary's in Livonia are busy getting packages ready to send to a secret destination in the Indian Ocean and they are calling it "Operation Care Package."
Students in Terry Nemeth's pre-kindergarten class are making cards and care packages which are headed to 300 Navy sailors on board the USS Oscar Austin.
It all started as a geography lesson back in the fall when Nemeth began tracking the ship's path.
Nemeth said the children kept asking, "How is Santa going to get to their ship if it's in the middle of the ocean?"
So they decided to spread some Christmas cheer to the U.S . Navy.
"It snowballed into something that we never imagined it would be," said Nemeth.
The care packages include snacks, and letters that say "Happy Holidays! Thanks for keeping us safe."
It's something very special for Nemeth because her 27-year-old son Jeremy is one of the sailors on the USS Oscar Austin, and this is his first Christmas away from family this year.
"It's very hard." said Nemeth.
In the end, she's turned it all into something good, and a lesson for the children that they will never forget.
"That's what was important for them, to understand how important it is to give back," said Nemeth.
Frito Lay donated a lot of the snacks for the care packages.
The parents of the students also helped by donating the money to help pay to ship the packages.

'Sons of Anarchy' Casts Dave Navarro For Season 5 Finale
For a 'Sons of Anarchy' season so metal that it cast actual Hells' Angels and brutally killed off a number of characters only five episodes into its run, we were hard pressed to think of ways season 5 of FX's Kurt Sutter biker drama could get more awesome. Enter legendary rocker Dave Navarro to play an important role in the final two episodes of the season! But who will the rock superstar play, and how will Jane's Addiction be involved?

About 250 jobs will be created as part of the expansion of the Longford gas plant in Victoria, a project owned by BHP Billiton and Esso Australia.
BHP and Esso have each committed $US520 million ($A496.30 million) to the new gas conditioning plant at Longford, located in the Gippsland basin.
The Longford plant processes oil and gas from the Bass Strait, and the new gas conditioning plant will remove carbon dioxide from gas.
Construction is expected to begin in the third quarter of calendar 2013, and will create about 250 jobs, Esso said.

You know the drill. As you cruise the supermarket aisles, you automatically grab a package of ground beef. Every week. Because, well...it's just so easy. Sound familiar? If your beef is destined for burgers, taco filling, or spaghetti with meaty tomato sauce, then you're likely in a rut. I totally understand. It happens to all of us at some point. But that doesn't mean you're stuck. Jazz up your January--and the rest of the year, too--with some new ways to spice up your ground beef offerings.
Stuff It! The Cubans know a thing or two about spicing up their beef. Here they add sweet and briny flavors to a quick ground beef stew and stuff it in a roasted sweet potato. Hola!
Go Greek: What the Greeks call pastitsio, we call a casserole. Sub ground beef for lamb and you're in business. What's not to love? A tomato-y beef stew topped with pasta in a cheesy sauce incorporates all the American favorites. Make it ahead and take any leftovers to work.
Stick it To 'Em With Potstickers: For a quick weeknight supper, skip the homemade dough and buy wonton wrappers. For the filling, forget the Chinese bean paste and substitute hoisin sauce if you have it around. Chinese chives are nice, but chopped scallions work well too. Follow the recipe to fill and cook the potstickers.
Sloppy Joes--Not! Who said ground beef had to be sloppy to be tasty? With a little red wine and Worcestershire sauce, Sophisto Joes up the ante. Of course you could serve them with beer (as pictured), but why not mix up a batch of martinis?
Rush Home for Russian: Who doesn't love stroganoff? So what if beef tenderloin is classic? Good ol' ground chuck takes its place quite nicely (make sure to cook it through), cuddling up with onions and mushrooms in a creamy sauce that's dreamy over egg noodles.
Turnover a new Empanada: Trust me. Unless you're a fry baby, there's no need to heat up barrels of oil to cook these empanadas. Just make a few steam slits in each turnover, then bake the beef-filled empanadas on a baking sheet in a 425°F oven until golden, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Go All The Way with Five-Way Cincinnati Chili: Locals will tell you that no recipe comes close to what they swear by in Cincinnati, but this recipe still delivers an enviable meal. Don't stop at the chili: Ladle it over spaghetti and top with kidney beans, grated Cheddar, and oyster crackers for the full five-way treatment.
Porcupine Meatballs? No joke, if you follow this recipe, substituting your favorite ground beef for the shrimp, you'll end up with something resembling mini-porcupines, or a punk rocker's spiky bleached hairdo. Just make sure to steam the meatballs until the beef is thoroughly cooked.
Obviously the eight ideas here are just the tip of the iceberg. What's your recipe for getting out of a ground beef rut?

WILDLIFE experts have discovered three rare bats in woodland at Marbury Country Park and one of the tiny creatures appears to be pregnant.
Nathusius' pipistrelles are one of the rarest species of bat found in the UK and the discovery of three of the animals has excited members of bat groups across the country as this could be the first recorded breeding of this species in the north west.
Bat boxes were installed by Cheshire Bat Group as part of a Bat Conservation Trust pilot study into the rare bat species.
Nathusius' pipistrelle is a migratory species and prefers habitats adjacent to woodlands around lakes and wetlands, leading researchers to investigate the woodland next to Budworth Mere.
Members of South Lancashire and Cheshire bat groups found the three bats and now suspect that one of the females may be pregnant.
Steve Parker, who was the first to discover the bat at Marbury, said: "Cheshire Bat Group has been surveying the site for a number of years and has recorded Nathusius' pipistrelles flying along the tree lines on many occasions so it's great for South Lancashire Bat Group to be able to work in partnership with them and find some of these amazing and rare bats.
"Finding three in the first box I opened was well above my expectations and a great start to this important national project."
Charlotte Harris, chief executive of Cheshire Wildlife Trust, said: "This is absolutely fantastic news from one of our most popular nature reserves and is testament to the hours of dedication that our local bat groups put into careful monitoring each year.
"Without this type of research we wouldn't know about many of the rare species that are making homes on the sites that we manage and the specialist skills of the bat groups are invaluable to us fully understanding the full range of wildlife on our doorstep."
Cheshire Wildlife Trust has a wide range of events planned for the summer and more information is available by ringing 01948 820728 or by visiting www.cheshirewildlifetrust.org.uk.

Met Criticized For Being a Good Husband and Dad
There's a good chance you've never heard of Daniel Murphy, the 29 year old second baseman for the New York Mets. And if you have heard of him? Good chance it was because he has been criticized for taking paternity leave to be with wife after the birth of their first child. Seriously, people are criticizing him for this. It's insanity.

Didnt need work doing guy was honest
Quick response to my request, very knowledgeable and excellent service.
Really good garage, nice to meet someone you can trust, got them to do some other jobs for me as well. would highly recommend.
Thoroughly recommend this garage. They collected and returned my car exactly as planned and completed the service on budget.
Efficient friendly service price exactly as quoted with communication every step of the way these guys are truly hidden gems
Polite and courteous garage. Car serviced promptly, washed and ready for collection when they said it would be. Recommended.
Polite efficient service. Price quoted was price charged. Happy to recommend
Excellent garage, will def use again.
Fast, efficient, friendly service at a good price.
Arrived in the morning a little later than planned, but was welcomed by the receptionist . I was asked to take a seat , and that work would start on my car shortly . It did , and the work was very thorough . I was kept informed of what they were doing ,and eventually ,that led to an estimate for the entire work to be done , at a reasonable cost I think ,which I am pleased about . The people there were very pleasant the whole time ,and the price quoted was the price I paid . I would recommend this garage to anyone who has a problem with their car .
Work was done quickly, the price was under the original quote and way less than VW were quoting. A really friendly bunch too. I'll definitely be going back for future repairs.
quickly did the work,
Really great service. I had an idea what the problem would be, and it was confirmed. Katie and Ellie were excellent from start to finish, and value delivering great customer service - so I couldn't recommend them enough, and I'll be returning. Great Independent Operation.
Pros: -Car was collected and delivered within the quote price -Did not charge extra to re-run Mot after a minor fault (washer fluid) was fixed Cons: -Garage was unable to collect car on planned day of booking as booking did not get put into diary -Was quoted for both service and mot, but only mot was carried out. However was only charged for mot (plus washer fluid)
Great staff, all friendly and willing to explain what was going on with my car and the service, gave accurate time lines and stayed within estimated price. I will go here for all future services.
Great bunch of people that all seem to know their stuff. The price was right and my Air-Con now blows cold again :) What more could I ask for
Booked in for a 9:30am service. They started the service at 3pm. Initial cost may seem cheap but they are very expensive once they diagnose a fault. They also misdiagnose faults.
I was happy with the price quoted for the genuine break pads and discs changed for my Mercedes C class. Staff was friendly. They gave me the right estimate of the time it would take to change the break and disc. Job seems to be done nicely. There is a 1year warranty also on the parts fixed which is helpful. Just wanted to say that I would have preferred an invoice which mentions that genuine parts have been used; not just invoice of the price and job done( it just gives me a piece of mind ). Thanks again. Will use it in future.
Quick turnaround, friendly and offered advice on other car issues without making me feel pressured into booking the jobs. Would definitely use again.
An honest, friendly and genuine mechanic who knows his stuff. Really pleased with the work that was completed. Would recommend without hesitation.
Very quick and efficient service, prompt on time and no issues
Greg came on time did a great job quickly very proffesional thnks greg
Collected the dead car. Arrived on time! Took it away and fixed it on the quoted price. Then returned the car. On request checked the timing belt and even replaced a missing nut for a minimal fee.

TORONTO — Sheryl Ederman, a practice team manager at Jewish Family & Child, is "shocked and perplexed" that efforts to get a 10-year-old boy adopted into a Toronto-area Jewish family have gone unrewarded.
Josh (not his real name) has been in foster care for more than a year, and JF&CS has fulfilled its mandate to try to reunite him with his family.
"That was not possible, so it's [the agency's] responsibility to connect [Josh] to another family. The primary focus of all adoption services is the best interest of the child."
Ederman said JF&CS has placed posters about Josh along Bathurst Street from Bloor Street to Richmond Hill, as well as sent out more than 22,000 email blasts, posted the plea on the agency's Facebook page, and made it the lead story in Family Matters, its newsletter, but there has been very little response.
"I do believe there is a 'forever home' for this child, but I may have to go outside of the GTA. He has a solid, dependable extended family in the GTA, who, if possible, wants to maintain a relationship with him, but they are unable to care for him," Ederman said.
"We'd like Josh to maintain family contact that is meaningful and beneficial, but his family has said they will not stand in the way of another family who may not want him to have any contact."
In describing Josh, Ederman said that he shows excitement and enthusiasm in everything he does. "He enjoys karate swimming, playing with Legos, listening to music, and much more.
"[He] is friendly, charismatic, loving and inquisitive. His smile and big, blue eyes are hard to resist."
Ederman said that Josh has had family challenges, and has demonstrated great resiliency as he has adjusted well to his life circumstances.
Josh requires a "forever family" that is able to provide structure, calmness and consistency, she said. "He would benefit from a two-parent family, and he would welcome siblings – especially older siblings that he can look up to as positive role models.
"Josh has some learning challenges and will require academic support. His adoptive family would need to be open to learning particular parenting strategies, be open-minded regarding extended family contact, and be loving and caring."
Ederman wonders why no one has stepped forward. "I believe we have a responsive community, but this [lack of response] throws me. I don't know what else to do."
She doesn't want to turn to an advertising agency, she said, because that would make her feel like she's trying to sell a product. "We are looking for a home for one of our children."
JF&CS can provide support to families who give children in care a home through adoption. "A financial subsidy, which is reviewed annually, is available to a family who is eligible," Ederman said.
"We want to encourage the right family to step forward, even if they are worried about finances. Our priority is finding the right match. We do this through a consensual home study process to assist in determining the best interest of the child."
Josh is anxious to settle into a family, she said. "He has been with a great foster family, but foster homes are temporary. We have to get him out of the system, and into a permanent home. Permanence is a safe, nurturing relationship intended to last a lifetime."
For information on adopting Josh, call 416-638-7800 and ask for intake.

Since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon in April of 2010, the National Wildlife Federation has closely monitored the scientific research on the impacts of the disaster. In late 2015, the federal government released an in-depth study, known as the Programmatic Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan.
This comprehensive study—and additional independent scientific research—make it clear that wildlife and habitats throughout northern Gulf were damaged by the oil and dispersants, and for many species the impacts are ongoing. The report concluded, "These injuries affected such a broad array of linked resources and ecological services over such a large area that they can best be described as an injury to the entire ecosystem of the northern Gulf of Mexico."
Dolphins and Whales
Sea Turtles
The Gulf Floor
Coastal Habitats
Five years after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, sending more than 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, wildlife are still struggling.

Gary Ballance has picked up this season where he left the last one having scored a hundred on day two of Yorkshire's three-day friendly against Leeds/Bradford MCC Universities.
The stand-in skipper finished last season like a house on fire with two hundreds in the match against Surrey at the Oval, sealing his place in England's winter Ashes squad as a result.
He played the final Test of the series against Australia at Sydney, and is hoping to retain his spot for this summer's series against Sri Lanka, which involves a Test match at Headingley.
He followed Adam Lyth to a century on day two of this first-class fixture during the afternoon session as Yorkshire, replying to 139, reached 328-4 at tea.
Lyth and Ballance both fell in the afternoon for 130 and 101 respectively. They shared 149 for the third wicket.
Lyth was caught at short fine-leg sweeping at off-spinner Andy Laws before Ballance was bowled by opposite number Will Vanderspar's medium pace in the last over of the session.
Jonny Bairstow has reached tea unbeaten on 29.

Video: Speaker Placement for Great Sound
Tara W. has worked for Crutchfield since 2004. She writes about whole-house music and video gear, and works on Crutchfield's video team.
More from Tara W.
Most of the people appearing in our videos are employees at Crutchfield. We pull in folks from around the company to share their expertise. A lot of our on-camera stars come from our Advisor Group — they help people choose the right gear via phone, email and chat every day, so they're good at explaining the products and technologies.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Learn about the basics of good speaker placement, so you can set up your speakers to deliver the best sound for your room. In this video, we'll offer tips for both home theater and stereo speaker systems.
Video Transcript
Tara: Hi. I'm Tara.
Malcolm: And I'm Malcolm. In this video, we're going to explain the basics of good speaker placement.
Tara: Now, if you've been to a movie theater with a really good sound system, you know the difference that it can make. Good sound really pulls you into the movies so you can hear the clash of armor behind you during intense battle scenes, or environmental sounds like crashing waves or a storm rolling in.
Malcolm: Right. It makes the whole experience so much more realistic. And the nice thing is that you don't necessarily have to add anything to your system. You just need to set up your speakers correctly to get that theater experience at home.
Tara: True. Now there's a whole science to getting great sound, and that's what our speaker placement guidelines are based on. Of course, everyone's room is different, because of variations in size, shape, and the type of receiver and speakers in them. So instead of focusing on one speaker set up in a hypothetical room, we're going to show you the basics, so that you can use that info to make your speakers sound their best in your room.
Malcolm: We'll start with a home theater speaker set up and then we'll give you some info on stereo speaker placement afterwards.
Tara: Each speaker in a home theater system has a distinct role. The front left and right speakers handle the majority of the soundtrack and effects for movies and TV shows. Height-wise, these speakers should be positioned so the tweeters are level with your ears when you're sitting down.
Malcolm: Just about like this.
Tara: Yep. That's right.
Malcolm: The center channel speaker delivers almost all the dialogue, and this speaker should also be set up so the tweeters are at about ear height when you're sitting down.
Tara: And that can be a bit tricky because this speaker is also supposed to be placed above or below your TV.
Malcolm: But that ear level height is really important. Tweeters produce high frequency sounds, like the creaking of a door, the high notes of a violin, even some of the dialogue, and they're very directional. If they aren't aimed at your ears, you could miss parts of the soundtrack. So do your ears a favor and aim the tweeters right at them.
Tara: Now, your surround speakers handle what are called "ambient effects." These are sounds that deliver the impression of really being there. These range from the gentle patter of rain drops to the ricochet of a bullet. Now a lot of folks have just two surround speakers, but you can have as many as four.
Malcolm: These speakers should be higher than your front speakers. There are lots of options for mounting your surround speakers &mdash on shelves, or on your wall or ceiling. Keep in mind that you shouldn't aim these speakers right at your ears since they provide a wide range of background effects.
Tara: And now your subwoofer is responsible for producing low frequencies, like notes from a bass guitar or the rumble of an explosion.
Malcolm: Because each of these speakers plays a unique role, their placement can make or break your theater experience. So let's start with an example of a fairly typical setup where the audience would get less-than-stellar surround sound.
Tara: And we'll assume the height of each speaker is right and just look at the position within the room.
Malcolm: So here, the left and center speakers look okay, but the front right speaker is off by itself.
Tara: Right. There's a big hole on this side. The sound that should be filling out this space is being sent over here, and that's going to result in uneven sound.
Malcolm: Yeah, and even more confusing may be the way the surround speakers are positioned. This one is supposed to be sending specific audio to the right side of the room, but where's it going to hit?
Tara: To the left.
Malcolm: That's right. And so when someone throws a baseball across the screen and it hits the neighbor's window with a crash over on the far right, our viewer's going to hear that primarily with their left ear.
Tara: And that's pretty confusing when you're watching a movie.
Malcolm: Yeah, now look at what this set up should be.
Tara: The front left and right speakers are angled or "toed in" towards the primary listening position. See how the sound fields overlap on and around the main seat? That's a good sign that the listener is going to get really complete, 360-degree sound.
Malcolm: And the right and left surround speakers are loosely aimed to the corresponding sides of the listener so directional sounds will make sense.
Tara: But what if you have a room that doesn't make this possible, like if the right side of your home theater room is an open space leading to a hallway or a kitchen, and there's no wall there for you to use?
Malcolm: That's a common problem. So in this case you do your best to still steer your sound in the right direction and just get it as close as you can to what it's supposed to be. So here's a good example. If the ideal spot for your right surround speaker is taken by a hallway, you could try mounting the speaker a little further back, making sure that you aim it forward. You can mount some smaller speakers from the ceiling as well.
Tara: You generally have a bit more flexibility in placing your subwoofer because the low frequencies it produces aren't directional. They spread evenly throughout your room. There are just a few basic things to keep in mind. First, placing your sub in a corner will give you bigger, louder bass.
Malcolm: That's right, while placing it along the wall away from a corner will give you tighter, more precise bass. It's really all down to personal preference.
Tara: And here's a trick that some of us have used: place the sub in your favorite listening spot, and then walk around the room while it plays. When you find a spot where it sounds the best, that's where you should place your subwoofer.
Malcolm: When it comes to stereo sound, you're going to put the front left and right speakers in almost the same position as you would with a surround set up.
Tara: But the angle of the speakers and their distance from each other and from your main listening spot can make a big difference.
Malcolm: Definitely.
Tara: For example, here's a pretty common set up that would not deliver the most effective sound.
Malcolm: See how the sound stage is broken by this big hole? That's because the speaker's sound fields are too far apart from each other and can't create a cohesive sound stage for the listener.
Tara: And because of that you won't get good "imaging." That's what it's called when you're listening to music and you can hear where the bass player or trumpeter is standing on stage.
Malcolm: So think of your listening spot, your left speaker, and your right speaker as the three points of a triangle. You want each point to be loosely the same distance apart for the best imaging. You can adjust based on how wide your main listening area is by angling your speakers or sliding them closer together or both.
Tara: And that should give you the basic info you need to adjust your speaker placement for the best sound. Remember that you'll need to experiment with your speakers and your room to get it right for your home.
Malcolm: Also, if you'd like to get into the nitty-gritty of speaker placement and get some more detailed recommendations, check out crutchfield.com/surrondplacement and crutchfield.com/stereoplacement.

TusharPosted on 9/24/2016
Hello sir. I would to like to confirm from you whether music should be listened to on a two-speaker system for best results. As per my knowledge, since most of the music is recorded in stereo (2-channels), we need only two speakers (one for each channel). And also, speakers more than two are better for audio in movies/TV/games etc. Is this really true? Thanks
AaronPosted on 11/30/2016
I am a strong proponent of a two speaker system. Two high quality monitors should provide all the sound frequencies provided by the source. When additional speakers or added (more than 2) then the sound quality is diminished to the lowest quality monitor in the system, thus the lowest common denominator syndrome. Adding subwoofers or tweeters doesn't improve HiFi. It can only change or "color" the original source of sound thus degrading the artist's original intended sound. In HiFi more doesn't always mean better.
