We've just been here for the first time for Sunday lunch.
A nice pub with very nice staff, but a bizarre idea of what constitutes a "carvery".
I you go there expecting "carvery" to mean that joints of proper, actual meat are carved in front of you, prepare to reassess your worldview.
At the Greyhound you are presented with four rectangular trays all full of identically shaped, thin slices of supermarket style "deli" meat, processed into large tube shapes, curling under the lights. Ugh!
I knew the first tray contained either chicken or turkey (turned out it was what passes for turkey in Greyhoundland), as it was white meat, but the other three could have been anything. I had to ask what this amorphous and sorry looking collection was and replied in the affirmative on the mention of lamb. Turned out even the attractive young lady serving couldn't tell the difference either as I got pork! And, yes, the meat really did taste like processed rubbish.
To be fair the remaining part of the "carvery" meal was ok, but if you want a "carvery" for goodness sake avoid this place.
Perhaps they've been so rattled by the mythical ghost they don't like hanging about long enough to roast proper meat.
My husband and I visited England in May and June of 2004, We got a self catering cottage in Barbraham, For 18 wonderful days we explored England. But in all our outtings for food our favorite was The Greyhound Pub in Sawston. The food was short of miraculous. Truly a gastonomic treat. Before we left freiends told us to pack antacids and the like because England was not known for their culinary abilities. We did not believe it, I having grown up with an English Mum. Anyway we stumbled on the Greyhound by accident and out of the 18 days we eat dinner there 12 nights. The appetizer of garlic mushrooms, sublime. Stilton chicken absolute miricle. We had the mushrooms everynight. And I think I had the chicken 4-5 times. My husband enjoyed his steaks to no end. If in Sawston it is a must. And please if she is still there say a hello to Ruth. The most pleasant waitress in all the world.
Should I be ashamed? I was just having a typical night out at my favourite Cambridgeshire pub. Standing at the bar, instead of rushing to serve me like they normally do (well, before I moved to Essex), the staff began to speculate as to whether I actually lived in the pub. My friend was even more of a sad case (although he's moved away now too - oh, how they must miss us both); he was the last to leave at night and the first to grace its doors in the morning. His excuse? "Well, they do an excellent fried breakfast." Let's see... yes, they may have had a point. The first half of my birthday was spent in that pub, countless New Year's Eves were spent in that pub, I danced, sang, laughed, barfed, cried, pissed, kissed, ate, met date (s - trying to keep up a little rhyme here, in case you hadn't noticed) and, naturally, drank in... the Robin Hood. Now, this opinion is about the pubs in St Ives. It may only be a small market town (not to be confused with the Cornwall town) but St Ives boasts over a dozen pubs; there are loads in the town centre, some hidden down alleyways, some by the river Ouse, others all in a row (handy when you've reached stumbling stage). I had to start, of course, with my so-called second home, and the Robin is certainly rockin' on a Saturday night. I was 16 when I got my first taste of the place. Me and the girls had met some older guys (weren't we cool) and managed to sneak in the back entrance to drink cider in the back room, which had a pool table (those really were the olden days; that pool table has long gone). Unfortunately we were soon chucked out and it was a while before we had the nerve to try and get in there again. But it was such fun living in St Ives at 17! Where's the thrill now of trying to get past the bouncers? One friend turned 18 before the rest of us, but we joined her on her nights out, carryin
g borrowed ID (in those days all we needed someone else's driving license). This was fine until one nasty bouncer asked me for my license no. I ws cocky, saying "Come on, who knows their license number" and he agreed, asking me my date of birth. But I'd been thrown offguard and got it wrong! Silly me... Anyway, let me describe the Robin Hood. I just love the smell of the place; that brewers smell, plain and simple. It's always dimly lit in there, a welcome retreat from the sunshine during a summer's day, and 'atmospheric' at night. The bar's in the middle and there's comfy seating running along the window with wooden tables and stools. To the left of the bar, a DJ (and his box) can be found on Sat. nights, and a handful of fruit machines. To the right there's a step (watch out! I've tripped before and many a 'giant' has banged his head on the low ceiling stepping up it) and two more tables by a fireplace, with a huge screen in the corner for the football fans to get their fix (and this place is PACKED during England games). The room at the back is often empty, although you can sit in there and have food, or a private party (oo-er). Then there's a poky loo with 2 cubicles for women, and a loo for men (may have been in there... can't quite remember). Out the back is a nice patio with about 4 benches. This is where I spent my 19th birthday; my then-boyfriend plied me with pints of cider that contained the added ingredients of Baileys (how could I not have noticed how it curdled?!) and vodka. There's a photo of me leaning against my boyfriend (unable to sit up straight I was practically lying on the bench) laughing my head off. I'm sure it was a birthday to remember. If only I could. Anyway, the pub is a favourite with leather-clad motorbikers, students, hen parties etc alike. It's a real mix of St Ives folk and I
love the way, if I was to stroll in there tomorrow there'd be at least one person I'd know. There's a juke box, and on Friday nights you can often hear the Pulp Fiction soundtrack playing, or some indy tunes. They refurbished it recently; strangely enough just after my friends and I decided to dance on the chairs and I banged my head on a lampshade, making it wonky. The young bar staff are quick to serve you... but when they started calling me the 'Smirnoff Ice girl' producing a bottle and putting it on the counter before the words were out of my mouth, I wondered if I should sample Smirnoff elsewhere... A few shops up the road and you're outside the Golden Lion. It's actually a hotel but has a large pub downstairs. I call this place the 'disco' pub; it has that kind of atmosphere. Weekends see (hear!) a DJ, loud upbeat dance music blaring. After a recent refurbishment however, the place is reminiscent of a supermarket. Whose bright idea was it to introduce the artificial strip lighting and automatic doors?! They were very kind though when a friend was overambitious and tried to jump from the table onto a chair (yes, the ol' furniture-dancing again) but landed awkwardly on the carpet. She'd actually broken her ankle and was lifted into an ambulance, the DJ having called it, switching off his music. The prices of drinks in the Robin and Lion are pretty much the same; around £1.15 for a half, £2.30 for a pint (I think; I rarely buy 'em) and £2.60 for bottles. Over the road is The White Hart. I used to think this was an old man's pub until I was co-erced inside, and realised it was actually quite nice; small and snug. Perhaps it wasn't wise for 4 of us to smuggle in our bottles of Smirnoff Ice purchased at the Robin and casually put them on the table in the Hart - they don't actually sell Smirnoff Ice! The pub
's split into 2 sections with 2 bars; one near a pool table, the other in a small room with lots of wood and a fireplace. No music. Another 'image-revamp' has occured at Floods. Formerly an old man's pub (fishermen, British legion etc) it now attracts the young 'uns, although there are still some of the old clientele (a few who like to perv!). Nice food, narrow (and watch out for the step as you leave; you never notice it when you go in). Perhaps one of the attractions of the place is the cheap(er) drinks. It's a long pub (encourages intimate contact) with a few fruit machines and a garden area... By the river you'll find the aptly named The Dolphin. A fave with students, this hotel is packed out in the summer as there's a huge outside patio. You can see the bridge from your seat and sit and watch the boats go past My only complaints are the slow service (get more staff in!) and the fact I got locked in there once! I'd been to the loo and couldn't get out! My friends were laughing at me through the window; fort. a smirking bouncer released me before I could start panicking... There's 2 bars; one in an open airy room, and another in the posher 'family-function hotelly foody bit. You'll see the odd bride milling around as the place hosts a lot of wedding parties (although when me and a friend turned up for one we invaded someone else's by accident! Now we know that there are TWO bridal suites for parties... it's easy to wander in and out though) Onto the bars... The Lounge, formerly The Birdcage (put a lot of blokes from going in there), fondly remembered as Broadways (when I was 16 this was the coolest place in town; I could only dream of getting in there)/ Even now, it's known as the place where the beautiful people go. Image, posing... Strange place though, really. You walk in and there's a packed, too-small bar
and a bigger back room with comfy armchairs, then there's a cellar bar which is all wood and mirrors (and cold!). Out the back there's a yard with an outside bar and heated lighting. The music's totally house and I like the brightly coloured straws they give you with your bottles! The Ice Bar has just opened but I haven't experienced the place yet; it used to be a bowling bar, now it's app. got green armchairs and poles! That's the town centre pubs covered (oh, there's also the Royal Oak (for older people, I find) and the Aviator - popular on thursdays as they have a jammin' session night where local bands play; you can plonk around on drums etc). Ooh, and my old local (tastes change; funny how everyone decides to suddenly go somewhere else every weekend) The Nelson's Head. Down a narrow sidestreet, this pub is like a tardis. It's long and thin and is home to hot nuts and there's a real smell of wood when you enter. At the back there's a pool table and a dartboard, and there's a miniscule garden with 2 tables. One complaint: there's never any music and I need music! Where's the atmosphere? But strangely enough they do play soft music from speakers in the loos! Down an alley there's a tiny but pretty pink pub called the Oliver Cromwell. The regulars are old men who prop up the bar and chat to anyone, and it's nice for a change. Well, all this talk of the St Ives pub scene is making me feel rather homesick because where I live now, there's limited choice... My second home will always be waiting for me though, should I return to St Ives...
THE ANCHOR INN Sutton Gault Sutton Ely Cambridgeshire This is a quaint little pub in the heart of the Cambridge Fenland countryside. It is rated as four diamonds in the AA Guest book and is also found in ?The Good Food Guide?, ?Good Hotel Guide?, ?Good Pub Guide? and ??Which? Guide to Country Pubs?. The Anchor was built around 1650 on the ?Hundred Foot Drain? (New Bedford River) to provide food and shelter for the men conscripted to dig the Fen rivers. It has been a hostelry ever since. It is a popular public house, so the booking of tables, particularly at weekends is advisable, to avoid disappointment. The floor is undulating, with the scrubbed pine tables. The atmosphere is cosy and intimate, with a roaring log fire in winter and glowing gaslights. Antique prints on the walls and dark oak beams and panels are also the order of the day. ?A little piece of heaven anchored in fenland? describes Paddy Burt (Daily Telegraph). Heather and Robin Moore are the owners for more than ten years and have won many of the major food guide awards. The pub is informal, yet the hospitality is second to none, as is the cuisine and service. The Anchor Pub promotes British food and uses locally grown vegetables where possible.

The Anchor Inn Sutton Gault Sutton Ely Cambridgeshire CB6 2BD Telephone: 01353 778537 Fax: 01353 776180 Email: email@example.com I took my parents out for a meal to celebrate my father?s birthday, last year (April 2000). It was the last trip that I had out with my father before he died. Sunday 1st April was my father?s birthday. To remember him, I took my mother out along with my brother and hubby Shane for Sunday lunch, this year. We were once again made to feel relaxed and comfortable. The food was freshly cooked. Yes, we had to wait, but we were never rushed either. Our table was booked for 12.45hrs. We did not have to wait to be seated. Our drinks were brought to the table once order and we enjoyed a leisurely meal, leaving at about 3.30pm, feeling full and content. I cannot wait for my next visit.
The Queen's Head at Newton (the village is a few miles south of Cambridge) is one of a slowly-dwindling band of old-fashioned pubs, where little has changed for generations. You won't find foamy mock-Irish beer, plastic beams or alcopops here. This is an old building which has been run by the same landlord for over 25 years. Throughout this time it's been featured in most of the good-beer guides. They serve perfectly-kept Adnams Real Ales from barrels on the back of the bar, and Real Food [bloody roast beef sandwiches - also beef dripping, 'Humphreys', smoked salmon etc etc]. There's always a huge soup tureen bubbling away and, if you ask what flavour it is, the publican will peer under the lid, sniff, and announce "Brown". Prices are extremely reasonable, and quality unsurpassed with local direct suppliers being used for all the produce. The place looks generally a bit worn, and there's generations of candlewax drippings accreted on the candlesticks. Public health Inspectors please drink elsewhere! You can play bar skittles in one corner, or sit against a glowing fire in an inglenook. The pub gets really busy on weekday lunchtimes (especially Fridays), when half of the research teams from Cambridge University come here for lunch, so you need to arrive at 12.30 to get a seat. There are a few tables for sitting outside, and the village green across the road, but both these are close to the road. There's some good playground equipment on the green, if your children need amusement, but this pub's not really children-friendly. I rate this for ambience and traditional good value: I hope it never changes.

Kayser © Humana Press Inc., Totowa, NJ 3 Robust Cell Line Development Using Meganucleases Jean-Pierre Cabaniols and Frédéric Pâques Summary Cell line development for protein production or for the screening of drug targets requires the reproducible and stable expression of transgenes. Such cell lines can be engineered with meganu- cleases, sequence-specific endonucleases that recognize large DNA target sites. These proteins are powerful tools for genome engineering because they can increase homologous gene targeting by several orders of magnitude in the vicinity of their cleavage site. Here, we describe in details the use of meganucleases for gene targeting in Chinese hamster ovary-K1 cells, with a special emphasis on a gene insertion procedure using a promoter-less marker gene for selection. We have also monitored the expression of genes inserted by meganucleases-induced recombination, and show that expres- sion is reproducible among different targeted clones, and stable over a 4 mo period. These experi- ments were conducted with the natural yeast I-SceI meganuclease, but the general design and process can also be applied to engineered meganucleases. Key Words: Cell line development; double-strand break; gene targeting; homologous recombi- nation; I-SceI; meganucleases; protein production. 1. Introduction Homologous recombination is a powerful tool for genome engineering. Since the first gene targeting experiments in yeast more than 25 yr ago (1,2), homologous recombination (HR) has been used to insert, replace, or delete genomic sequences in a variety of cells (3–5). However, targeted events occur at a very low frequency in mammalian cells. The frequency of HR can be significantly increased by a specific DNA double-strand break (DSB) in the targeted locus (6,7). Such DSBs can be delivered with meganucleases, sequence-specific endonucleases that recog- nize large DNA target si

(BPT) -- Make wrapping gifts more fun this holiday season. Get your supplies ready, invite some friends and turn up the holiday music.
Before you get started, here are some creative gift wrapping tips from popular crafting blogger, Cindy Hopper, founder of SkipToMyLou.org.
"I love wrapping holiday gifts -- from little treasures like Dunkin' Donuts(R) seasonal packaged coffee to bigger presents like kids' toys and electronics -- in unexpected and creative ways," says Hopper. "You don't need a lot of money, just some motivation and imagination, to create packaging that will make any gift recipient smile."
A touch of fun -- Make packaging playful by adding a small toy like a jump rope as ribbon or jingle bells to the top of the gift.
Tie two together -- Have the gift and its wrapping complement one another. Place a bag of new Dunkin' Donuts Gingerbread Cookie packaged coffee in a cookie jar. Present the Pumpkin Spice variety in a basket of mini-pumpkins, or serve Mocha Mint with a favorite chocolate bar.
Keep a cushion -- Replace packing peanuts with colorful tissue paper, blown up balloons or even wrapped candies, to create an eye-catching display when recipients open their package.
Wrap it up -- Instead of purchasing wrapping paper, see what's available at home to use. Newspaper comics, wallpaper scraps or even pages from an old atlas or map make memorable gift wrap.
Look to nature -- Add a fresh flower, pretty shell or sprig of mistletoe for an elegant, outdoor element to any holiday gift.
Contain yourself -- Instead of the standard cardboard box, house gifts in decorative tins, hat boxes or fruit crates for a clever presentation.
Two in one -- If gifting seasonal food or beverages, pair the gift with serving items. For example, offer Dunkin' Donuts packaged coffee in a mug, or wrap the package with a ribbon attached to a coffee scoop.
Tag, you're it -- Focus on the gift tag. Use unusual items like recipe cards, luggage tags or coasters to identify gift recipients.
Stamp it out -- View plain wrapping paper as a canvas by covering it with a unique pattern of colorful rubber stamp prints.
Monogram madness -- Personalize presents by including the recipients' initials on the wrapping. Write their initials all over the paper or affix cut out letters or cookie cutters in their initials as tags.

Former NC State forward Tyler Harris has decided to transfer to Providence, his father told SportsNet New York on Thursday afternoon.
Harris, a 6-8 native of Long Island, N.Y., averaged 1.8 points and 1.2 rebounds last season for the Wolfpack. He picked Providence over offers from Temple, South Florida, Alabama-Birmingham and Dayton.
"He has developed a great relationship with (head) coach (Ed) Cooley and (assistant) coach (Andre) LaFleur," Torrel Harris told SportsNet New York. "He believed in them, how they would utilize him to be a major contributor to the team and he looks forward to competing in the Big East."
The younger brother of former Tennessee star and current Milwaukee Bucks forward Tobias Harris, Tyler must sit out the 2012-13 season but then will have three years of eligibility remaining.

IPHIGENIA, BOLERO and More Set for RIOULT Dance NY's Season at The Joyce, 6/4-9
RIOULT Dance NY, a leading American modern dance company with a classic sensibility, announces its eight-performance New York Season June 4-9, 2013 at The Joyce Theater. The Season includes the World Premiere of Artistic Director/Choreographer Pascal Rioult's newest work, Iphigenia (Working Title), a dance drama inspired by the Greek heroine of the same name from Euripides' "Iphigenia in Aulis." The piece was created in collaboration with Composer Michael Torke and features his newly commissioned score, which will be performed live by the Camerata New York Orchestra. The Season program also includes the critically acclaimed On Distant Shores (2011), the powerful Prelude to Night (2002), and one of the company's signature works, Bolero (2002).
Known for his musicality and explorations of classical scores, Pascal Rioult continues to develop new work annually through his Dance to Contemporary Composers Series. Conceived in 2011, the Series engages choreographer-composer collaboration by commissioning living American composers to create music as accompaniment for a new dance. The first work of the Series, On Distant Shores (2011) re-imagined the Greek heroine Helen of Troy through a collaboration with Pulitzer-Prize winning Composer Aaron Jay Kernis. This Season's World Premiere serves as On Distant Shores' companion piece, as it takes on another Greek heroine, Iphigenia.
On the creation of Iphigenia Pascal Rioult comments, "This collaboration will inherently push my boundaries since Michael Torke's aesthetic differs greatly from that of traditional, classical music which I often use. Still, I find his music ideal for dance because of its effusive energy, interesting rhythms, and the visual imagery that colors its melodies."
"I see this dance as operatic," Torke said upon embarking on the project, "the Chorus and ensemble sections provide the recitatives advancing the story, while the pure dance moments are like arias - stopping the action and allowing the emotion to be expressed." Torke's new score is based on a unique orchestration of eight instruments: two clarinets, two bassoons, two French horns, a cello, and contrabass.
Approaching its 20th Anniversary in 2014, RIOULT Dance NY continues to provide audiences with dynamic performances by an extraordinary ensemble of dancers, many whom have been dedicated to the company for more than a decade - Brian Flynn, Penélope González, Josiah Guitian, Charis Haines, Jere Hunt, Michael Spencer Phillips, Jane Sato, Sara Elizabeth Seger, Anastasia Soroczynski, Marianna Tsartolia, Sabatino A. Verlezza and Holt Walborn. RIOULT Dance NY is led by husband-and-wife team, both former Martha Graham Dance Company principal dancers, Artistic Director/Choreographer Pascal Rioult and Associate Artistic Director Joyce Herring.

Iphigenia (Working Title) - World Premiere
Music: Michael Torke
Length: 20 minutes
Featuring live music by the Camerata New York Orchestra and an original score by Composer Michael Torke, the new work is a dance drama inspired by the story and sacrifice of Iphigenia in Euripides' play, "Iphigenia in Aulis." The creation of this piece marks Pascal Rioult's closest Dance to Contemporary Composers Series collaboration to date, with Torke present frequently during dance rehearsals allowing the movement and music to be created and reworked with each other's input. The finished piece will include costumes by Karen Young, lighting by Clifton Taylor, projections/video by Brian Beasley (pending), and set design by Harry Feiner.
On Distant Shores (2011)
Music: Aaron J. Kernis, "On Distant Shores"
Length: 22 minutes
The first installment of the Dance to Contemporary Composer Series, On Distant Shores evokes ancient myths while feeling thoroughly contemporary. "I always thought that Helen got a bad rap," says Pascal Rioult. Determined to redeem her reputation, Rioult imagines Helen is brought to Troy against her will. In this work, four god-like warriors awaken to join her in fleeting duets. Ultimately she walks alone in a path of light as the war heroes fade into a dream.
Prelude to Night (2002)
Music: Maurice Ravel, "Prelude a la nuit." "Alborada del Gracioso," & "Feria"
Length: 28 minutes
Prelude to Night is a triptych danced to three short Ravel orchestral works. This piece hinges on the prevailing physical presence of the central female character who journeys from one state of being to another, by means of her imagination, dreams and nightmares.
Bolero (2002)
Music: Maurice Ravel, "Bolero"
Length: 16 minutes
RIOULT Dance NY's Bolero is a bold and unique interpretation of the famous musical score. Its perpetual motion and ever-changing patterns build to its illusive but inevitable climax. The unrelenting crescendo of energy creates a riveting tour de force. It has become one of the company's most sought after and acclaimed works.
RIOULT Dance NY was founded in 1994 and fast became an established name in modern dance with a reputation for bringing the sensual, articulate and musical dance works of Pascal Rioult to audiences worldwide. The eleven dancer company, based in New York City, is led by husband-and-wife team Artistic Director/ Choreographer Pascal Rioult and Associate Artistic Director Joyce Herring, both former Martha Graham Dance Company principal dancers. With an established repertoire of over 40 dances that expands each year, RIOULT Dance NY presents an annual New York Season and tours nationally and abroad. In addition, education and community outreach have been integral to the company since its inception. The company's DanceREACH program, founded in 1997, provides various public and private school children in the New York metropolitan area with arts-in-education programs, introducing students to the art of modern dance with Pascal Rioult's repertory as a springboard. Please visit www.rioult.org for more information on RIOULT Dance NY.
With his two best known early pieces, Ecstatic Orange and Yellow Pages, written while still a composition student at Yale, Michael Torke practically defined post-Minimalism-a music which utilizes the repetitive structures of a previous generation, incorporating musical techniques from both the classical tradition and the contemporary pop world. Torke cut short his graduate study to begin a professional career in NYC, where he was signed by Boosey and Hawkes. He became an exclusive recording artist with Argo/Decca Records and began his 5-year collaboration with Peter Martins and the NYC Ballet. Torke founded Ecstatic Records in 2003 and most recently the label released Tahiti with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic's 10/10. Visit www.michaeltorke.com for more information.
The Camerata New York Orchestra was founded in 1999 in Vienna, Austria, garnering immediate critical acclaim. Now in its thirteenth season after re-establishing in New York, the flexible ensemble of up to 50 players has had successful concerts at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, St. Paul's Chapel, and Merkin Hall, among others. The mission of Camerata New York is to promote the most talented young musicians in New York, to present the great works from the baroque to contemporary in concerts on the highest level for the New York community, and to cultivate a new generation of classical music enthusiasts.

Steve Forde, owner Go Hero said "Bat Boy is one of those iconic character designs. The image of him is ubiquitous! If Alfred E. Newman, Shepard Fairy, and Nosferatu had a baby it would be Bat Boy! I am drawn to things cuddly and deadly! I love the idea that he saves your life then rips up your couch."
The first release will be an 8-inch "1970's style" Bat Boy figure. It will carry a MSRP of around $20-$30. Go Hero also have plans for stylized Bat Boy vinyl figures, statues, and figurines. Other Weekly World News characters are planned in 2010 as well.
The half-bat, half-human character is just one of 30 odd creations spawned by the tongue-in-cheek supermarket tabloid Weekly World News. Just recently it was announced that DreamWorks will be developing a TV show that will tap into the company's library of characters and offbeat stories.
It isn't clear which WWN characters the DreamWorks project will exploit or whether it will be a live-action or animated series, but Bat Boy is expected to play a key role.

You know in Indianapolis this would never happen
Third-grader told Peyton Manning jersey has gang ties
We've got a great story for everyone who hasn't come across enough idiocy on this glorious Wednesday.
A third-grade student in Greeley, Colorado was told he could not wear a Peyton Manning Denver Broncos jersey to school because, well ...
"They told me I couldn't wear 18 anymore because it's a gang number and I had to take it off," Konnor Vanatta told KDVR-TV in Denver.
The policy apparently doesn't allow six different numbers: 13, 14, 18, 31, 41 and 81. The policy also does not allow for common sense.
"I'm pretty upset the schools have come down to this and I think they need to start paying attention to the education the children are getting rather than what they're wearing," said Konnor's mother, Pam Vanatta.

THE widow of Accrington Pals historian and author Bill Turner praised the launch of First World War commemorations in Hyndburn.
Ruth Turner joined families of the lost Pals for an 'historic' event in Accrington town centre, followed by a memorial service at St John The Evangelist church.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the Broadway office buildings to see the town's huge remembrance banner, which features images of the Pals taken from Bill Turner's personal collection.
His wife, Ruth, said: "It was an absolutely marvellous day and so special to me because of the banner and the centenary commemorations and it would have been very special to Bill.

Mrs Turner added: "Chronicling the history of the Accrington Pals and recognition for their bravery was my late husband Bill's life's work and I was so happy to be able to represent him on this momentous occasion. "

Samsung Galaxy S III To Hit all Four Major U.S. Carriers Starting at $199 on June 21

US Cellular also gets in on the Galaxy S III action
If you're one of the many smartphone fans that have been waiting in anticipation for the
Samsung Galaxy S III
smartphones to land in the United States, it will be coming this month with some specifications that are a bit changed from the first time we talked about the smartphone.
Samsung has announced that the smartphone will be coming on all four major service providers in the United States. That means no matter if you're on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Verizon, you will be able to get the smartphone starting this month. Even US Cellular customers are shown some love by Samsung. The phone will launch at $199 for the 16GB model and $249 for the 32GB model on all carriers June 21
"The U.S. launch of the Galaxy S III is the most anticipated launch of the year. As promised, we are delivering the 'next big thing' for U.S. customers and across all major carriers," said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America. "Galaxy S III introduces new technological innovation and takes sharing to the next level."
The S III boasts a 4.8-inch display with a thin bezel for maximum viewable area. The phone weighs 4.7 ounces and is 8.6 mm thick. The device supports 4G LTE connectivity for fast data and file transfers -- that is assuming the buyer is in an LTE covered area.
The S III introduces the next version of Samsung's content sharing service called AllShare Play. This technology allows the smartphone to automatically recognize other Samsung devices on the user's home network and remotely access files on those other devices. A Wi-Fi network is required for that feature to operate. The smartphone also supports easy sharing for images and uses S-Beam technology to directly share large files such as video and photographs between compatible devices.
The mobile phone runs the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and has Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. The phone runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual core processor (Samsung announced a 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos SOC for world markets) with 2 GB of RAM. The Galaxy S III will be offered in marble white or pebble blue colors.
"The Galaxy S III is the most innovative smartphone on the market today. It is an industry first to see five major carriers align behind the launch of a single device virtually simultaneously," said Todd Pendleton, Chief Marketing Officer for Samsung Telecommunications America. "To support the immense excitement for the Galaxy S III we will execute our biggest marketing campaign ever. Consumers won't be able to miss why this device is the must-have smartphone."
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

The primary purpose of the California Safe Cosmetics Program (CSCP) is to collect information on hazardous and potentially hazardous ingredients in cosmetic products sold in California and to make this information available to the public.
Many different chemicals are used in making cosmetics. Consumer and worker advocacy groups are concerned because some cosmetic products contain chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer, or developmental birth defects, or damage to the reproductive system. Those who work with cosmetics - including barbers, hair stylists, and skin care, body care and nail salon workers - may be more vulnerable to the adverse health effects posed by these products because they handle greater quantities of cosmetics with greater frequency.
The Law
The California Safe Cosmetics Act (PDF) ("the Act") was signed into law in 2005. For all cosmetic products sold in California, the Act requires the manufacturer, packer, and/or distributor named on the product label to provide to the CSCP a list of all cosmetic products that contain any ingredients known or suspected to cause cancer or developmental or other reproductive harm.

Tired of constantly having to charge multiple DSLR camera batteries, or having to monitor the remaining battery charge or, worse, having a battery die in the middle of an astrophotography session? Well, we've got the solution: the Orion 12V Power Adapter for DSLRs. This compact, affordable adapter lets you power your DSLR from a 12-volt field battery - the same one you're probably already using to run all your other 12V astro gear at your away-from-home imaging site.
Compatible with Canon EOS Rebel XS, XSi, T1i, 450D, 500D and 1000D DSLR cameras, the 12V DC Power Adapter is a wonderfully practical accessory for DSLR astrophotographers who don't have access to AC power. You just insert the included DC coupler for your compatible Canon EOS DSLR into the camera's battery compartment in place of the battery, then plug the cigarette lighter connector into your 12V DC field battery. Now your camera will stay powered-up all night long, and then some. You can literally set it and forget it!
The 12V DC Power Adapter for DSLRs is a "switching-mode" power supply, which is highly energy efficient, minimizing the drain on your 12V battery compared to linear-mode power supplies. And it is much more efficient than using an AC adapter with a power inverter to run your camera. The adapter converts the 12V input to a 7.4V output suitable for powering a DSLR. A fuse in the cigarette lighter plug protects your camera against potentially damaging current spikes.
So if you use one of the compatible Canon DSLRs for astrophotography, the Orion 12V DC Power Adapter for DSLRs will save you money (on multiple internal batteries), save you hassle (charging and monitoring those limited-capacity internal batteries), and save you valuable imaging time (no more time lost due to a battery dying during an automated image sequence). Get yours today!
Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. This warranty is for the benefit of the original retail purchaser only. For complete warranty details contact us at 800-676-1343.

After a total hip replacement, you will be able to resume most activities. However, you may need to change how you do them. For example, you may need to learn new ways to bend down that prevent your hip from dislocating. Dislocation is when the ball of the new hip implant comes out of the socket.
Dislocation is uncommon. The risk for dislocation is greatest in the first few months after surgery while the tissues are healing. If the ball does come out of the socket, your doctor can perform a procedure (called a closed reduction) that can usually put it back into place without the need for more surgery. In situations in which the hip continues to dislocate, further surgery may be necessary.
There are several precautions you can take to prevent your new hip from dislocating. This video provides more information about preventing dislocation after a total hip replacement.

Reviews forCoconut Crunch Cookies
My Review
Average Rating
"So good, we love these...different, tasty...just like an almond joy in a delicious cookie. I used slivered almonds and left them chunky, wow. Yummo. I am editing this review...I added these to my xmas cookie platter and people went crazy for them. Just as easy as a drop choc chip cookie to make, but the taste is like nothing people have experienced. Another winner!"
"I didn't use almond extract or almonds since a few of us can't eat nuts but they were soooo good! Tasted like a Mounds bar."
"These cookies are soooo good!"
"These are pretty good but the almond extract is too overpowering. Next time I will cut the almond extract in half so to better balance the different flavors."
"My new favorite cookie!"
"Bland & the almond extract a tad over powering with smell"
"Really loved these cookies! They are a bit expensive to make, but well worth it!"
"DELICIOUS! Simple to make and oh-so-good. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips because that's what I keep in my pantry. My husband agreed that this was definitely a keeper!"

Slumping Cruz out of lineup for second time in '14
BALTIMORE -- The very scenario that Buck Showalter outlined on Sunday to illustrate Nelson Cruz's struggles reared its head during the eighth inning of the Orioles' 6-3 loss to the Mariners the night before.
After working the count to 2-2, Cruz swung at a pitch in the dirt for his third strikeout of the night. It was one of those sequences that have become familiar to the outfielder in recent weeks. He did everything right to get himself on base, except finish the at-bat.
"They're not getting him out," Showalter said. "He's getting himself out, mostly."
Cruz had just one hit in his last 28 at-bats entering Sunday. Since the All-Star break, he was 6-for-57 with 14 strikeouts and only one home run. Only one American League player with at least 20 at-bats since the All-Star break had a worse batting average than Cruz's .105.
The All-Star was out of the starting lineup for just the second time this season on Sunday afternoon. Delmon Young, who was serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup for the second time this season, made his fourth consecutive start. David Lough made his second start of the homestand, batting seventh and playing left field.
"Looking for a little -- I won't say energy, because it means that other people don't have it," said Showalter, whose team has the AL's worst batting average and on-base percentage since the All-Star break. "You're always looking for something that kind of engages things."
Cruz's slump, though, has been the most noticeable. After emerging as a first-half AL Most Valuable Player candidate with a .287 average and 28 home runs, his struggles have coincided with the offense's worst stretch of the season.
The 34-year-old was on pace for 49 home runs at the break, a pace that no one expected Cruz to sustain for a full 162 games -- just like this slump likely won't last the rest of this season.
"You just try to shorten the bad times and stretch out the good ones," Showalter said. "There's nobody that stayed hot from Game 1 to Game 162. It's just who can shorten up the bad periods."

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.
The long 28" 8dBi omnidirectional WiFi antenna provides a strong signal strength in all directions. For long range reception, it is best to mount the X Mile outside and up high where distant signals can be received without obstructions. Up to 150Mbps transfer speed with wireless N.
The 8dBi WiFi antenna has a cast-aluminum mounting bracket and outdoor rated connections for many years of reliable use. It can mount to a wall or a ½" to 2" pipe mast (not included). For maximum performance in even tougher WiFi environments we recommend the CC X Mile and Point-to-Point 15dBi Antenna system. Using the directional Point to Point and X Mile together we were able to cut through interference caused by too many WiFi networks, boost our signal strength by approximately 200% and receive up to 4 times more power.
The CC X Mile works with Windows® 2000-8, Mac® 10.4-10.8, Linux Kernel 2.6 and Ubuntu 10.10 (It does not work on MAC OS 10.9 or higher). Requires the installation of software drivers. Gaming stations such as the Xbox® and Sony PlayStation®, the iPad®, iPhone®, Android® and Windows RT® devices are not capable of installing these software drivers.

If the CC X Mile can see more than 30 strong networks nearby then there may be too much interference for it to work at full speed. Try using the CC X Mile closer to ground level which should help to alleviate some of the interference. For distant WiFi signals in crowded locations, we recommend using our Point-to-Point directional WiFi antenna. This will focus the signal in the direction of the desired WiFi location.
Typically, it will reach over 100 yards away to a normal router, depending on obstructions. Under ideal circumstances, it will reach over a mile away to a normal router. This would require no obstructions whatsoever and for it to be used in a rural location without many WiFi networks causing interference.
Check the connection between the antenna and the cable to be sure they are tightly connected. If only one USB port is available, make sure to use the main USB cable connector, not the optional Power Boost connector (single loose connector).
Check the bottom taskbar area for a security shield or message that is asking permission to install the software. Also, if your computer has a third-party firewall or virus protection installed, you may have to temporarily disable it.
You may not have a strong enough WiFi connection. Successful connection to a wireless network usually requires a minimum of 2 bars of signal. If the signal is low, you can try relocating or repositioning the antenna with a better line-of-sight view to the WiFi source; or the wireless network does not offer internet service; or a firewall/virus protection is preventing access.
Be sure that the antenna is positioned vertically in a location that is not obstructed to the WiFi source. Mount your antenna outside and up high for best reception. If your desired WiFi network still shows a weak signal, then try a larger antenna with the CC X Mile.
No, the CC X Mile should not be connected to an additional passive USB extension cable. Please use the 30' USB cable that came with the antenna. It is not recommended to exceed the length of the 30' USB cable, as it can cause severe signal loss.
Connect to the network and click on "Add Profile". See "How to configure Network preferences for 802.1X" for more information.
It is not a requirement, but it is recommended. If both WiFi connections are going at the same time, it will require more power from your computer and will create extra heat. Usually there is a button, switch, or key on a laptop that disables the internal WiFi device.
No. The CC X Mile requires installation of software drivers. At this time, the iPad®/iPhone®/Android® devices are not capable of installing software drivers.
Click on the "Downloads/Manuals" tab above and you can download the appropriate file for your computer.
Yes it will. In most cases all you have to do is plug in the antenna to your computer using the supplied cable and Windows® 10 will install the device. The drivers for the antenna are bundled in with the Windows® 10 operating system.

So, now they say they are waiting on clarity regarding the fiscal cliff. Well, we now know what the true meaning of clarity is. It means they are dying to be bullish, but they need a deal done first.
Then the president spoke and everyone thought he might soften his stance, but instead he reiterated his higher taxes theme. Tell me something guys, in this day and age, when does the winner ever soften their stance? Nowadays winners take victory laps, they do not extend olive branches. Diplomacy has gone the way of the buggy whip.
But on Wednesday there was a new chink in the armor as the tensions in the Mideast flared, something that was not on the radar.
Let's put the news aside and look at the indicators. Yesterday, I noted how many of the intermediate-term indicators were still above their oversold levels. Wednesday's action took them down some more. For example, the Hi-Lo Indicator moved to 30% (from 37%). An oversold reading is under 20%. As a reminder, the June low reading was 17%.
Then there is the McClellan Summation Index. Yesterday, I noted that we would need at least a few more harsh down days to get the what-if indicator to where it required +4000 or more. What this means is that we do a what-if to determine what it would take to turn the Summation Index from the current down to up. As of today, this indicator would require a net differential of advancers minus decliners on the NYSE of +4500 to turn it from the current down to up. You can see on the chart that we are fast approaching the point of too much or oversold.
There have been times where this indicator has gotten to where it requires +6000 or a bit more than that, as you can see on the chart, but at this point we'd be looking at one or two more days at the most to get there. So, we can finally say we're getting to a proper oversold condition.
We did see a decline on Wednesday with 90% of the volume on the downside, but what really caught my eye was the Investors Intelligence readings that showed where if we combined the bears and the correction-minded folks we had 62%. As you can see on the chart, a combination over 65% has typically led to a tradable rally.
One thing to keep in mind is those extreme readings on the what-if of the McClellan Summation Index led to short-term rallies. It was the secondary low that gave the better rally sign. And considering the number of stocks at new lows soared to more than 200 on the NYSE, a reading we haven't seen in more than a year, there are no positive divergences. For that we would need a rally and a retest, the W pattern I refer to often.
If we can rally on Thursday and then come back down early next week with some positive divergences I think we could have a tradable rally. Without positive divergences, it'd be just an oversold rally.

Between Interest and Boredom
Summer theater is the sort of oxymoron that conjures up farcical epithets such as "dramatic hot dog stand," to use the term coined by the late George Jean Nathan, the esteemed American theater critic. Or "straw-hat trail," the term used by others to denote the sartorial choices of the supposed morons who make up the audience of resort-town productions from the Berkshires to the Outer Banks. In South Florida, however, we're more fortunate. Summer is a fertile season, bringing Shakespeare and Shepard with at least the same regularity as thunder showers and traffic jams.
A nonstop flow of political exiles is also a Florida summer staple, and this month they're visible in Between East and West, the seldom-performed 1985 Richard Nelson work now at the New Theatre in Coral Gables. Nelson, a living American playwright, isn't exactly a household name. His best-known works -- Some Americans Abroad and Principia Scriptoriae -- have had only limited financial success in New York. (You may remember him as the author of the book for the failed Broadway musical Chess.) A contemporary of Sam Shepard and David Mamet, he's more popular in England than in the United States, and he's virtually absent from the repertoire of overly familiar American dramas presented ad nauseam in small theaters nationwide.
So it's a pleasant surprise to have him show up in Coral Gables. But Between East and West, alas, is a minor Nelson work; people hoping to learn more about an important theatrical voice may come away unimpressed. Still, it's no mystery why Rafael de Acha, New Theatre artistic director, selected it. Between East and West is the rare play (there's a glut of novels) about the late-20th-century immigrant experience in America. Set in 1983, the story follows a middle-aged married couple, Gregor and Erna Hasek, recent Czech political exiles who sublease a tiny New York apartment while searching for work in the theater.
Gregor, in love with his new home and quickly mastering the new language, eagerly hunts for a directing job. Erna, an actress, isn't adapting as quickly. Restricted by her inability to navigate English, she's something of a prisoner in the apartment. (In this production, she's also something of a tiresome whiner who doesn't seem as though she'd be happy anywhere.) Her survival strategy is to persuade Gregor to return to their homeland, despite the government crackdown on artists that originally sent them packing.
Sitting at home bored while Gregor explores the city, Erna takes a stab at reading newspaper headlines: "Mr. Reagan tries to run over the opposition with a hard-line approach." The language mystifies her, but when she asks Gregor to help translate, he shrugs her off. "I don't need a newspaper to tell me what's happening at home," he says, referring to his general disdain for politics. In New York he reads only the theater papers, "to learn who's important, for instance." And, Erna wants to know, who is important? Gregor's reply: "Dustin Hoffman is important."
At the New Theatre, the play is staged entirely on one set, which depicts the Haseks' efficiency apartment, dominated by a dining room set, a couch, and a TV. Sketches of Eastern European skylines rise over the sides of the stage. The action unfolds as a series of blackout sketches.
We first encounter Erna and Gregor after they have been in New York several months. Gregor has landed a job at the prestigious Hartford Stage in nearby Hartford, Connecticut. Summoned back to Manhattan by a disturbing phone call from Erna, he discovers she is on the brink of returning to Prague.
From that point the play uses flashbacks to fill in the Haseks' history, presumably to help us understand how they've arrived at this critical juncture. Oddly, though, playwright Nelson, normally a careful dramatic architect, employs a type of storytelling that's better suited to mystery, suspense, or emotional revelation. Here there's no mystery, really, about what has driven Erna to feel alienated in a strange country, or why the strain might affect the couple's marriage. It's hardly a surprise to learn that Erna and Gregor have different memories of their first day in New York or that they don't adjust in the same way.
We learn nothing of consequence by having events relayed to us in flashbacks. In fact, the structure of Between East and West actually keeps us at arm's length from the two characters. We hear them talk about their experiences in Prague, but we don't get a sense of who these people were before they left for America. Telling Gregor and Erna's story chronologically might not be particularly compelling, given how incompletely conceived they are, but the flashbacks set up audience expectations that are never met. We piece together bits of the Haseks' story only to find there's no payoff.
As the play's title suggests, Erna and Gregor are stuck in a frustrating limbo between their past and their future. Missing, however, are the details that might make them more than generic exiles who have fled an oppressive government. They never come to life as human beings for whom dislocation exacts a huge emotional price.
In fact, for most of the play, all we know about Erna is that she wants to go home. So intent is director Roberto Prestigiacomo on emphasizing this point that he allows several platinum acting opportunities to escape his cast. For example, Marta Velasco's Erna reads an English grammar book with no feeling until she happens upon this sentence: "We went home." I couldn't help imagining what a better actress (and director) might have done with this scene, in which all the textbook phrases -- not just the most obvious one -- could be infused with emotion. To quote Gregor as he describes working under the censorious eye of Czech authorities: "You can say a lot of different things with the same words."
As Gregor, David Kwiat portrays a more sympathetic character. It's easy to like Gregor because he's easy to please. He's charmed by the frenetic Manhattan subway system, for example. Hell, he's even charmed by Harlem. "America, I love you!" he yells out the window while drunk. Unfortunately he yells quite a few of his lines while sober, too. This noise level is not just off-putting because the theater is small; it's annoying because the part demands more subtlety. To be fair, the playwright doesn't help matters much. He doesn't convey a palpable sense of what Gregor left behind, except for shapeless chunks of immigrant angst that find their way into dialogue. As for the excruciating frustration endured by an artist working under government censure, we hear little of Gregor's experience in Czechoslovakia beyond his comment to his wife: "What I went through to make it, even you never imagined."
More than halfway through the play, however, one powerful scene does illuminate the Haseks. With Gregor's help Erna rehearses for an upcoming audition. The role is one well-known to her (or to any actress), that of Irena in Chekhov's The Three Sisters. What's foreign to her is the language. Until this point Marta Velasco's performance has been utterly unremarkable. But here, through her halting pronunciation of the English script, Velasco is able to project Erna's desire to connect with her old life in the theater, a life that has eluded her in New York. We finally see her as the actress she once was. But by this time, of course, it's too late for us to care.
It is intriguing that The Three Sisters, a play about the longing of people isolated in the provinces, should be the script that elicits a passionate reaction from a woman who finds herself in one of the world's great theater cities. Had Chekhov's Irena found herself in New York, she would have thought she'd died and gone to heaven. Erna, on the other hand, wants to return to a place where her emotional life is predictable and safe.
Unlike Chekhov's character, Erna's not at all pining for something she can't have. Rather, she's like a spoiled child who insists on having something that's not good for her. It's not clear whether Nelson intended this juxtaposition to be ironic. In fact it's never clear whether the playwright is more interested in drawing a portrait of a marriage in peril or in portraying immigration through its hazards to one particular marriage. But in the New Theatre production, the yearning to go home -- to Moscow, to Prague, to Any City -- is nearly an empty one. Despite the playwright's good intentions, the immigrant experience depicted in Between East and West is neither here nor there.
Between East and West.

County government is proposing Sunday wine sales. What do you think?
I think they should be able to buy wine on Sunday. Unsure why they have a restrictions on this. This is old school and has to change here.
I wanted to inform you for this great help!! I definitely enjoyed every little bit of it. I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff on this post.
Plz visit it !!

I don't see how restricting wine sales on Sunday is going to change anyone's drinking habits. I, for one, plan ahead, or drive to LaGrange. The only thing banning wine sales hurts is the income of Henry County businesses. If I spend my money in Jefferson or Oldham Counties, I don't spend it in Henry County.
I also think it's a good idea, after all, Sunday is a free day for must of us and on a free day some may want to have a glass of wine. I usually buy wine from local resources through free classified ads, let's see how things will change from now on.
Sure, why not?
I won't be buying any for reasons of my own, but that ought not restrict others from doing so.
There'll be some that will object for religious reasons. Okay great, they probably shouldn't buy any either, but again their opinions ought not restrict others.

I guess this is a rules question.
I just played my first tournemant yesterday, and it was two rounds. My round ratings were 766 and 730. I was using all new discs except for my putter, and I think I will probably do better as soon as I become accustomed to these new discs.
I'm playing another 4 round tournament in mid March, and I want to sign up with my spouse for the intermediate division in a mixed doubles tournament that occurs in April.
The next ratings update is March 29. I don't think it's likely, but if my rating turns out to be above 800, it will be too high for me to compete in intermediate at the mixed doubles championship. But my spouse's rating will not be high enough to go up into advanced masters with me. The mixed doubles tournament in April occurs a little more than two weeks after the update, so the TD will not have the option of letting me play if my rating goes up.
At http://www.pdga.com/announcements/next-ratings-update, the PDGA website says that submissions for the ratings update must be in by March 8th, which is a few days before my next tournament in mid March. Does that mean my round ratings from the mid March tournament will not be taken into account when calculating my rating on March 29? Can I be assured that my rating will be a simple average of only the two rounds I played yesterday (i.e., 748)?

This coming Sunday will be a big weekend for brand impressions as the Target Bullseye takes to the track at the Daytona 500 on the hood of the Earnhardt Ganassi with Felix Sabates number 42 Target Chevrolet driven by Juan Pablo Montoya. The race is scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Fox and kicks off a NASCAR season that will last until November. Montoya has been an average performer so far during the championship series known as the Spring Cup, but his chances of success and exposure for Target will be determined as much by luck as driving skill.
Afterward, he summarized the accident and his chances on Sunday this way: "I missed the big wreck then somebody tangled me and I went toward the fence. It didn't do much damage to the car, just the right rear quarter panel a little bit," Montoya said. "The next thing I see is another car coming off of the grass straight into me. That ended our night. It sucks to start out this way but we've got a strong car for the Daytona 500 so we'll be fine."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares in Pandora ( P) are poised for a 20%-plus 2012 loss after the popular internet radio service cut its full-year earnings late on Monday. In contrast, satellite radio giant SiriusXM ( SIRI) is on track for a 50%-plus year-to-date gain. At first glance, the divergent earnings and stock performance of Pandora and SiriusXM indicates satellite radio is winning out competitively to streaming radio, which can be accessed on desktops and by way of mobile devices. A closer look indicates Pandora and SiriusXM are far from direct competitors, and that the outperformance of the satellite radio giant has little to do with its technology. SiriusXM's success hinges on strong performance in the new and used auto market and a realization that the company's nationwide news, talk and sports content are hard to replace, even if competition mounts among streaming music services. Players like Pandora and Spotify are fighting for market share, meanwhile recent reports indicate Apple ( AAPL) may soon launch a streaming music service. Still, that competition has done little to dent SiriusXM's a post-crisis stock run, which is continuing in 2012. As Pandora shows signs of struggle by way of reduced earnings guidance and a revenue picture that's clouded by content costs, SiriusXM's nationwide non-music programming gives the company a moated value proposition to consumers that's increasingly playing out in automobile. The earnings contrast between the competing satellite and streaming services indicates they may, in fact, be far from direct competitors. On Monday at the UBS Global Media Conference, SiriusXM chief financial officer David Frear made highlighted that the company's improving financial picture hinges on how its non-music offerings are driving subscription growth, primarily in new and used automobiles. Meanwhile, the company's moat around auto subscribers is growing, as car makers continue to post record sales figures. "You don't have to pay for an 80's channel," said Frear at the UBS conference, of the value proposition SiriusXM offers outside of satellite music streams. The CFO added its non-music content like Howard Stern, nationwide sports play-by-play and specialized content like CNBC and Bloomberg radio that are driving the company's paid subscriptions. Strength in the auto market, meanwhile, gives the company confidence in its financial picture. At the Monday confidence, Frear affirmed SiriusXM's full-year 2012 guidance and detailed to investors how the company expects each new dollar in revenue to contribute roughly 70% to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
EBITDA in coming quarters. Frear said SiriusXM expects 40% EBITDA margins when the business matures and spent a significant part of the company's presentation talking about how the company could use growing cash flow for acquisitions or, in the absence of a compelling deal, stock buybacks.

Abbeyfield School in Chippenham has performed well in this year's league table coming in the top 30 schools in Wiltshire for both GCSE and A-levels.
The school was ranked 26th within Wiltshire for its GCSE scores and 58 per cent of pupils gained five or more A* to C grades at GCSE including English and maths.
At A-level the average point score for pupils in year 13 was 671.5, placing the school 24th in Wiltshire.
Headteacher David Nicholson said: "It is encouraging to read about both the local and national uplift in results.
"Teachers, students and headteachers are exerting a massive amount of effort in the face of continual changes to qualifications and rising targets.
"The trouble with performance tables is that raw data does not tell the full story about life in any school, it can only really help to identify the questions that might be asked.
"Qualifications are a tremendously important part of education, however there is much more involved in making sure children receive a rounded education."

Disneys TRON LEGACY. Its easily the most anticipated movie of the year for myself and a horde of grid-loving fanboys across the country. But how much does the average joe know about TRON? Or more accurately, the average jane? With so much television, video games, and other forms of entertainment out there, its not enough to simply market a movie the old fashioned way. You need word of mouth. You need to build awareness. And despite the successful reaction at Comic-Con, its no longer a done deal. Theres still a lot to be done and Disney stepped up to that challenge.
Thursday, October 28, 2010 was declared TRON NIGHT -- AN IMAX 3D EXPERIENCE. Five hundred theaters across the U.S. along with nearly 50 countries world wide sneak peaked roughly 24 minutes of completed footage from the upcoming film TRON LEGACY. A few scenes were presented to us that gave us just enough to want more. If Tron Night were a bar, this would have been the beer sampler only I would immediately want the full glasses of each scene as soon as it was done.
There is no doubt that this film will be incredible on a visual level. There is no doubt that the music by Daft Punk will rock our world. The ultimate test will be if theres enough emotion to carry the film through. From the footage shown, I feel confident that theyve pulled it off. The performances from what Ive seen are already light years beyond the Star Wars prequels.
At the Los Angeles Tron Night at Universal City Walk, a surprise appearance by Tron writer and director Steven Lisberger greeted the crowd, all wearing neon glow. He spoke about the origins of the original Tron, how kids were taken to a Disney film and the parents had no clue what was going on. Those ten year olds who embraced the film then are now at the age to make the bold steps to continue Tron. No cameras or recording devices were allowed into the theater so youll just have to hope for some bonus features on the DVD to see what he says. After some swag, toys, and hats were thrown into the audience, the footage was revealed.
Over at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA (Walt Disneys original), a separate Tron experience was being held on the exact same night. Through the Disney Parks official blog, 3,000 lucky guests were invited to their after-hours ElecTRONica Meet-Up held at Disney California Adventure Park (directly across from Disneyland). Tron Legacy Screenwriters Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz were on hand for Q&A and special signing and props and costumes were on display. For everyone who attended, an exclusive Commemorative Flynns Arcade coin was given as a special gift.
But dont worry if you werent able to attend the ElecTRONica Meet-Up. ElecTRONica is happening every weekend at Disney California Adventure! Fans can experience live DJs, entertainment and dancers; classic 80s arcade games inside a recreation of FLYNNS; all new TRON: EVOLUTION gaming zone; and an EXLUSIVE 3D SNEAK PEEK at Tron Legacy. Even if youre not a fan of TRON, you can still enjoy the fun and excitement in this evening fun-filled party. Themed alcoholic drinks, exclusive merchandise, and face paint await all who enter this electrifying interactive nighttime party. Admission to Disney California Adventure required.
TRON LEGACY opens nation-wide on December 17th.
