New AFC Wimbledon signing Michael Collins believes there is not a huge difference in quality between the squad at the Cherry Red Records Stadium and the one he left behind at high-flying Scunthorpe United.
Collins completed his loan move to the Dons last week and made his debut in the 1-0 defeat to Bury on Saturday.
It was Wimbledon's fourth defeat on the bounce, plunging them down to 16th in League Two.
Meanwhile, at Glanford Park, the Iron knocked five past Portsmouth to extend their unbeaten streak to go level on points with league leaders Chesterfield.
"There's a lot of good players here," Collins said.
"There's not a huge difference between the squad here and Scunthorpe, it's just sometimes when you get that bit of confidence and little bit of momentum it can carry you a long way.
"I look at Scunthorpe, now on a 16-game unbeaten run, and you know any team in this division is capable of doing it if they get that little bit of momentum."
The 27-year-old midfielder joins the Dons having missed most of the season through injury, ironically collected in KT1 during Wimbledon's 3-2 victory over Scunthorpe back in August.
Having returned to full fitness but being unable to break back into Russ Wilcox's side, Collins is hoping he can bring a wealth of experience to Neal Ardley's struggling Dons.
He has made more than 100 appearances for Huddersfield Town, has a handful of Republic of Ireland U21 caps and was club captain at Scunthorpe before his injury.
The deal, he says, was pushed through quickly after being alerted to Wimbledon's interest and after a quick chat with Callum Kennedy, who signed for Wimbledon from Scunthorpe at the beginning of the season.
"I spoke to Cal, he was very positive about the manager here, and he said I'd enjoy it and to be honest it was done as quick as that," he said.
"I obviously know a bit about the history of AFC Wimbledon reforming and I think what they've done is brilliant.
"It's a new experience for me, being away from my family for the first time in my career, coming down to London, but at my age I don't see that being a problem."
Collins signed for Wimbledon until the end of the season, when his contract at Scunthorpe also runs out.
Influential: Callum Kennedy, Michael Collins' former team-mate at Scunthorpe, helped made up the midfielder's mind over a loan-move to the Dons

I borrowed my sisters maxiglide and straightened my hair. It has teeth on one of the plates and was ripping my hair out. And it looks like sh**. So much for that option. I feel like shaving my head.

Video: Time Magazine and Ten Questions Answered by Dan Radcliffe
Jul 16, 2009
Check it out. Time Magazine has released this new video interview with actor Dan Radcliffe who answers ten questions from fans. In the article version, you can see a new (handsome) photo of Dan, plus read some of the responses which include a very candid response on the character of Harry Potter:
What do you think has been Harry's greatest misstep or failure in judgment? " Susan Bevins, Winter Park, Fla.
Susan Bevins, you have asked a question no journalist has ever asked
me. I think the way he treated his friends a couple of films ago was
quite questionable. They're always there for him, and he was a little
bit ungrateful. I think Harry is a flawed character. He can be quite
selfish and really manipulative. He's not all sweetness and light.
What do you think about the way J.K. Rowling formed the plots of the books? " Frances Taylor, Sarnia, Ont.
Obviously, it's inspired. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done nearly as
well as they have. They have taken the best bits of different kinds of
literature. It's the latest in a long line of orphan literature.
There's the English boarding school. There's the good-vs.-evil thing.
The fact that she came up with the entire thing on one train journey is
pretty remarkable.
Cheers Aly!

THE new NHS non-emergency telephone service is going from strength to strength four months after being set up.
The NHS 111 service run by West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) took over from NHS Direct in November last year and last week announced it had answered its 250,000th call, with 97 per cent of these answered within 60 seconds, beating the national average of 95 per cent.
The service's headquarters in Brierley Hill – which serves every county in the West Midlands except for Staffordshire – is staffed by non-clinically trained health advisers and trained clinicians and receives about 2,000 calls every weekday and 4,000 on Saturdays and Sundays.
Call levels have continued to increase over the past four months, with the service receiving a record 4,535 calls on Saturday, December 28 last year.
NHS 111 director Daren Fradgley applauded the work of his staff in getting the service up and running.
"A lot of time and hard work has been put into developing 111 since WMAS stepped in and we believe the results are reflecting this," he said.
"We faced a number of obstacles when stepping in to take on the service, none more so than the busy Christmas period, but everybody worked incredibly hard to ensure a safe and secure service was provided to the public.
"We will now continue that hard work to ensure we keep moving NHS 111 forward in order to make it the best service it can possibly be."
The service employs 170 health advisers and between 40 and 65 clinicians at Brierley Hill, who work in 'pods' staffed by a clinician, a senior health adviser and six other health advisers.
Manager of the call centre in Brierley Hill Liz Parker said: "The health advisors and clinicians who take the calls deserve special mention because it is their hard work which is resulting in the impressive figures and ensuring patients are getting the best service possible."
WMAS is working on creating an online symptom checker which patients will be able to use to get a better idea of what their problem is as well as a mobile app.

A 49-YEAR-OLD man who crashed his car on the way back from the pub left his vehicle and walked home.
Blackburn magistrates heard police were quickly on the scene and went to arrest David Bradley at his house.
The court was told how Bradley 'kicked off' and struggled with the officers using abusive language. And when he arrived at the police station he used a racially offensive phrase to indicate he did not wish to be dealt with by a black officer.
Bradley, of Pemberton Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to racially aggravated harassment of PS James Saddoo, obstructing OC James Gunn, failing to provide a specimen for analysis and failing to stop after a road traffic accident.
He was sentenced to 14 weeks in prison suspended for 12 months and made subject to community supervision for 12 months with a condition he attends an alcohol awareness programme.
He was also ordered to pay £150 compensation to PS Saddoo and £100 to PC Gunn and £80 costs.
Peter King, defending, said Bradley had collided with two cars and in one collision had banged his head.
"He walked the short distance home to ask his wife what he should do," said Mr King.
"He was upset and disorientated and his wife had just got him calmed down when the police arrived to arrest him. To use the colloquial term he "kicked off."
He didn't actually assault anyone but he resisted and he was abusive." Mr King said colour references made by Bradley at his home referred to the colour of the officers uniforms and not their skin.
"There was nobody there of a different ethnicity to him," said Mr King.
"The first time he dealt with anyone of a different ethnicity was at the police station when he made the unfortunate comments to PS Saddoo."

SAN BERNARDINO >> After six years of overseeing programs for more than 414,000 students, San Bernardino County Superintendent Gary Thomas announced Tuesday his plans not to seek re-election.
Thomas was appointed to the elected position in August 2008 to finish the term of former county Superintendent Herbert Fischer and was elected again in 2010.
By the end of his three-year term in December 2014, Thomas will be 60.
"I hope to spend a lot of time with family and grandchildren and pay some attention to my health," said Thomas, who jokes about gaining weight as a result of eating too much "rubber chicken" at various events.
"This was a very difficult decision. My family and I have been talking about this for the past year, and we kept on arriving at this conclusion."
Just because Thomas will not vie for his current position next year, doesn't mean he's walking away from education.
The High Desert resident said he may take a jab at teaching at a university.
Thomas' 35-year career in education began as a junior high school teacher in the Charter Oak Unified School District in 1979.
He served as district superintendent for the Silver Valley Unified School District for two and a half years and the Lucerne Valley Unified School District for four and a half years, a principal, director of elementary education, senior director of instructional services, and assistant superintendent of business services for the Hesperia Unified School District for more than 10 years, according to the county's news release.
San Bernardino City Superintendent Dale Marsden congratulated Thomas on his upcoming retirement.
"He has served our county well and provided excellent support to San Bernardino school districts during a very difficult financial crisis," Marsden said in an email. "Gary has provided great leadership to superintendents across the county. I wish him well as he prepares to embark on this new chapter in his life."
San Bernardino County Board of Education trustee Gil Navarro however is glad to see the back of Thomas. The trustee of Area D has long been critical of the county superintendent.
Navarro voted in 2008 against Thomas being appointed to replace Fischer at the county's top education post saying he was not qualified.
"I'm very happy that he decided he's not running again, I'll leave it like that," Navarro said.
Thomas acknowledged the differences and said, "(Navarro) has his own way of referring to things."
Despite the clash, Thomas said the county schools' priorities will continue on the strategic plan involving county-wide stakeholders and staff members. The plan includes developing clear priorities and marshaling resources for public education, supporting school districts as they prepare for implementation of the Common Core state standards and increasing high school graduation rates. It also calls for taking a coordinated approach to family and community engagement to ensure innovative and effective technology and communications, according to the county's news release.
Though Thomas' time at the county office will be short-lived, he said he did learn how to balance the difficult position.
"I think there is a delicate balance in this office with trying to influence things in a positive way, trying to marshal support for best practices, trying to communicate in ways that can bring positive change and working with diverse groups of individuals that maybe coming from the opposite ends of the spectrum," he said.
"This office is very challenging, it is also very difficult to communicate the significant role this office plays."

Extroverts aren't the most successful in the long run at work; instead, the quiet, neurotic, introverted employees who often fret about what others think of them come out on top, according to a new study.
While extroverts may make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities, that "value and reputation at work diminish over time," says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management at the University of California-Los Angeles who researched the subject with Neha Parikh Shah of Rutgers University.
"Extroverts disappoint us over time when they're part of a team," she says. "On a team you're expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they're often poor listeners, and they don't collaborate," key in team efforts.
On the other hand, neurotics or introverts work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don't want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100 percent, she says.
So while companies may be attracted to hiring the extroverts because they wow managers in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player, Bendersky says.
"Introverts are motivated by pleasing their peers and having chances to impress the team," she says. "If you give them chances to contribute, they'll be very good."
Agreeing with that assessment are the authors of a new book, "Own the Room: Discover Your Signature Voice to Master Your Leadership Presence."
Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted or anxious employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes.
"These team members often have an approachable demeanor, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in one-on-one situations," Su says. "The real development opportunity for these folks (is) helping them get more comfortable in larger group settings and vocalizing their thoughts versus keeping things internal."
Managers must strive to help introverts find their voice, Wilkins says. One technique: Ask them to share their ideas before a meeting so they have an easier time speaking up in front of others.
"Help them to see that speaking up is not about self-promotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all," she says.
But what about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off?
Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private: "At our last meeting, you spoke for 80 percent of the meeting. As a result, you were not able to get buy-in from the group, and this will impact your ability meet the deadline next week."
Finding the right communication style for a work situation can be difficult, but not making adjustments can hurt their careers, she says.
"Those who get out of auto-pilot recognize that their natural style is a strength and that adding a few more communication strategies in their repertoire won't change who they are," Wilkins says. "It will simply broaden their impact and get to the results they desire."

Both of them perished in the Holocaust
Dr. Shlomo Margolies was born in Podhajce, Galicia in 1888, where he received his early Jewish and general education. Like many of his era, at the beginning of the 20th century, he went to complete his education in the universities of the city of Vienna, where he completed a law degree before the outbreak of the First World War
In Vienna the city where Binyamin Zeev Herzl took his first steps as the Zionist leader the young Simcha joined the Zionist movement, to which he remained faithful until the day of his death.
At the beginning of the 1920s, Simcha Margolies came to the regional center of Drohobycz, where he opened a law office. He quickly became involved in the cultural and social life of the vibrant Jewry of that city. He took an honorable place in the Jewish society, and with the passage of time, he became their representative on the city council.
Along with his friends Dr. L. Tennenbaum and Dr. P. Adlersberg, Dr. Margolies served as the force of nationalist Jewry on the city council of Drohobycz. From that time on, he knew how to express concern for the small man and the worker. He set up a loan fund for their purposes in Drohobycz.
Dr. Margolies spend the terrible years of the Second World War in Drohobycz. He endured all the tribulations of the war in flesh, and he lost his wife and two sons.
At the end of the war, he ended up in Silesia, which was returned to Poland, where he began a short but most important era of his life. The activists of the Habricha could tell many stories about how Dr. Margolies was involved in rescuing the survivors.
The final, and certainly most pleasant, era of his life began in 1950 when he made aliya to the Land of Israel with his only surviving son and his daughter-in-law. His age (above 60) did not stop Dr. Margolies from sitting at the student's desk and studying the language of the Land and its laws. After a short time, he passed his tests, and obtained a permit to open a law office.
Even here, in Israel, he did not forego his greatest love to occupy himself faithfully with the needs of the community. He found many people here from Drohobycz and the surrounding area. Along with them, he established the organization of Drohobycz natives, founded a benefit fund for the needy, published a memorial book for the destroyed community, and served as the address for new immigrants who were natives of Drohobycz and the area, several hundred of whom came to Israel during that era. The memorial evenings that were conducted under his direction, with the participation of hundreds of natives of his city, were very significant.
Dr. Simcha Margolies returned his soul to his Creator at an old age on April 1, 1961. His memory will not depart from the midst of the many who knew and appreciated him.

Reb Gershon Perl)
|Reb Gershon Perl
of blessed memory
My father of blessed memory was born into a rabbinical family in the city of Brzezany in the year 1859. He married Esther Kohn of the city of Podhajce in 1883, and settled in that city. He was involved in business, and was the owner of lands in Poczmiestrowka near Siulki. He sold these lands a few years prior to the First World War, after dividing them into small lots.
Yitzchak Pomerantz of blessed memory was the possessor of a broad Torah and secular erudition. He was familiar with world literature and was comfortable in all areas of science. He was also fully fluent in the German and Polish languages. He would interpret the Talmud according to his fundamental style, and his commentaries were often cited by rabbis of renown.
The mastery of general erudition did not come easy to him. He never attended the public school, and he was forced to acquire this knowledge discretely, in the attic or far from his house, so that this matter would be concealed from his pious father.
On account of his great expertise in Talmud and its commentaries, he maintained correspondence with famous rabbis. Among others, he maintained correspondence with Rabbi Shapira of Lublin and other famous personalities until the outbreak of the second World War.
As a modest man with a pleasant disposition, he always tended toward compromise. He displayed love and affection toward all people, and any feelings of dislike or hatred were foreign to his spirit. He supported Zionism with a full heart, and participated in all deeds of charity and benevolence.
He would flee from honor in his public life. He frequently pushed aside the recommendation of the townsfolk who urged him to serve as the head or vice-head of the community. Despite this, he willingly accepted the honors that were given to him in the local synagogue, such as the rights to be the Chatan Breishit[1] on Simchat Torah every year, and other honors of this nature.
His feelings for justice and righteousness, and the faith that the residents of the city placed in him can be shown by the fact that they would often turn to him with the request to serve as a mediator in various disputes, some of which were quite important. He always did this without any benefit to himself. The gabbaim (trustees) of the synagogue also often turned to him with requests for advice in matters related to their duties. Similarly, he was sensitive to the suffering of poor and lonely people, and he stood to their right at any occasion. Within the circle of his family, he displayed great understanding with regard to the education of his children, and he concerned himself with imparting appropriate education to all of them.
My father of blessed memory died in 1933. He had three sons and one daughter. One, Dr. Eliezer Pomerantz, was a lawyer in Podhajce, and died in 1930. The second, Dr. Binyamin Pomerantz, was a lawyer in Kolbuszowa, and perished along with his wife Anna at the hands of the Nazi murderers. The daughter Shoshana (Roza) died in Jerusalem in 1970, whereas her husband, Magister Chaim Kahana, who was a director in the treasury department in Lvov, was murdered by Hitler's troops. The third son is the writer of these lines, Dr. Matityahu Pomerantz, who lives with his wife Shoshana and two children in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.

SAVANNAH, Ga. - The U.S. Army has identified the five-member crew killed when their UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a training mission last week in Kandahar.
The crew was flying March 11 using night-vision goggles and Army Maj. Gen. Robert A. Abrams has said no enemy attacks were reported.
The five crew members trained at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, which falls under the command of Fort Stewart, Ga. They were identified as: Staff Sgt. Steven P. Blass of Estherville, Iowa; Chief Warrant Officer Bryan J. Henderson of Franklin, La.; Capt. Sara M. Knutson of Eldersburg, Md.; Staff Sgt. Marc A. Scialdo of Naples, Fla.; and Spc. Zachary L. Shannon of Dunedin, Fla.
At 31, Scialdo was the oldest of the crew and a Black Hawk section chief. He joined the Army in January 2003 and arrived at the unit in January 2012. His mother, Susan Scialdo, previously told The Associated Press that the soldier made his family so proud he was nicknamed "the Golden Boy."
"He made our family shine," the 31-year-old soldier's mother, Susan Scialdo, said Friday. "He lifted us all. He was just an awesome individual. Always helpful, always shining."
Spc. Zachary L. Shannon, 21, volunteered for a deployment to Afghanistan and had no qualms about doing so, even if it ultimately meant giving his life.
"Zach said, 'I'd do it. For me to go over, that means another service member can come home to their family,'" his mother, Kim Allison, said Sunday. "It blew me away that someone so young could think so unselfishly."
Shannon loved fishing and his Tampa Bay-area sports teams, and he planned on a military career. He was in ROTC in high school, and he always wanted to fly Black Hawk helicopters, his parents said Sunday.
Shannon knew the risks of serving in Afghanistan and while he was home before his deployment, he talked with his mother about his last wishes. He wanted to be buried in Dunedin instead of Arlington National Cemetery, and so the family has a memorial planned next week at a local VFW post.
Lynn Knutson said she received an email from her daughter, a Black Hawk pilot, the night she died: "Got to go mom, got to go fly," the email said.
Knutson said she hasn't been told whether her daughter was piloting when the helicopter crashed. She had previously been deployed to Pakistan on a humanitarian mission, flying helicopters to help flood victims.
A ceremony is planned at Fort Stewart in April to honor the soldiers.
The cause of the crash is being investigated.

text: This to me is the opposite end of the spectrum from those riches-to-rags story. It's a frugal lesson, I spose, but it's still pretty extreme. It's one thing to be frugal, but to not let a man have some semblance of freedom, independence, and responsibility is almost disrespectful to Klay as a man. Teach Klay from age two years... the value of money, good decision-making, the importance of conserving, let him learn and make his good decisions but also allow him to take his lumps and learn lessons... that's called parenting, from Day 1. Controlling his bank at age 25 or whatever is just... overboard. Be an advisor, a parent, guide him towards the right decisions... I guess it's not so much even the $300 weekly limit, as much as the kid has absolutely no say in his money. That to me is wrong. Of course it's wrong to make $100,000,000 in your career and be broke, but I firmly believe in raising a kid right and that won't happen. You gotta do the work early, not later... as a parent. That's what that sounds like to me. Or maybe they did start in with the control early and never relinquished it... which is plain over-bearance. It even sounds like his dad is managing his bills. I just don't see how that is supposed to prepare him at all for anything. Even reading the article from today when Mychal watched Klay go over and shove Hibbert, he called him an idiot. What kind of parenting job is this? Do everything for him, stifle growth, and then call him an idiot.

A packed A&E department was forced to turn away ambulances and declare a state of emergency just weeks after the controversial closure of a neighbouring emergency ward.
NHS bosses had insisted Barnet Hospital was well prepared to cope with the influx of patients following the cost-cutting closure of Chase Farm's own A&E department on December 9.
But less than seven weeks later, Barnet Hospital was left crippled by the huge number of walk-in patients and ambulance arrivals on Friday, January 31, a letter leaked to the Times Series has now revealed.
At the height of the crisis, ambulances were left queuing outside the hospital and, by 2.30pm, 19 had been left unable to transfer their patients because of the drastic bed shortage.
Internally, a further nine patients could not be moved from their AAU ward to the emergency department, which was forced to seek help from medical departments across the region, including the Royal Free and Whittington Hospitals in central London.
The leaked letter, sent to medical departments across East and North Hertfordshire, urged GPs to avoid referring their patients for hospital treatment until as late as Tuesday to allow hospital staff to cope with the backlog.
The incident, described by one NHS spokesperson as "extremely rare", has sparked outrage among politicians and campaigners who say they had warned for years about closing Enfield's biggest A&E department.
Kate Wilkinson, founder of the Save Chase Farm campaign group, said: "It's putting lives at risk. This has become a very dangerous situation where there are not sufficient front-line services to deal with the demand.
"There needs to be some serious and honest discussions with the decision makers now, who need to admit there is a lack of services."
The trust in charge of the two hospitals replaced Chase Farm's A&E department with a 12-hour-a-day urgent care centre in December as it centralised services at Barnet and North Middlesex.
Today it blamed the state of emergency on "winter pressures" but politicians were quick to point the finger firmly at the A&E closure.
Nick de Bois, Conservative MP for Enfield North, said: "It is yet another example of what we warned would happen as a result of putting too much pressure on Barnet and North Middlesex.
"We were told repeatedly that they would be able to cope but this shows that they clearly cannot."
The winter pressures argument was also dismissed by Ms Wilkinson, who said the trust has not been faced with anything close to the challenges of previous years.
She said: "We have not had long spells of freezing temperatures or a superbug, as we did last year. Imagine if we had, what kind of state would we be in now?"
Tory Chipping Barnet MP Theresa Villiers, meanwhile, described the situation as "worrying".
Campaign group the North East London Council of Action organised numerous protest marches in the lead up to the downgrade of Chase Farm.
Group leader Bill Rogers described the closure as "incompetence" and said the state of emergency was "the logical result". The group is already planning a new protest on March 8.
He said: "When you close an A&E you immediately put pressure on surrounding departments. The scenario of people waiting hours to be treated is has become increasingly common."
A spokesman from Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust said: "Barnet and Chase Farm Trust experienced high numbers of attendances and ambulance arrivals to A&E on January 31.
"As a consequence of this, and in line with the NHS England (London) policy, Barnet Hospital declared an internal emergency and received support from local hospitals and non-urgent ambulances were diverted.
"Quality of care and safety of our patients is paramount. Consultants and senior managers were on site throughout to ensure the trust responded to this increase in activity.
"There was a full range of services available for patients with additional staff on duty."

The Grainy Face of Corporate Evil
On Sept. 12, a Los Angeles judge reversed a jury's $78 million fraud verdict against a pay-phone business Bill Simon ran in partnership with a convicted Florida drug kingpin. Editorial page editors at The Orange County Register announced, "Court puts Simon back into race." Simon was equally relieved. "I am extremely gratified that the courts ruled as we always said they would," he said in a press release.
But Simon's carefully prepared statement once again inadvertently reveals the Republican gubernatorial candidate's penchant for deceit. It wasn't the "courts" that overturned the jury's 11-1 civil trial verdict. It was a superior court judge named James Cameron Chalfant, who, as The Financial Times of London noted, "provided a much needed lift to Bill Simon."
Reporters throughout California and the nation perpetuated Simon's self-serving word game. CBS's Dan Rather, for example, legitimized the ruling as a "political reversal of misfortune." Sacramento Bee reporter Gary Delsohn editorialized that the judge had provided "resounding vindication" for the millionaire businessman who inherited his fortune from his dad, a former Nixon administration official. San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra J. Saunders wrote, "Simon has been exonerated."
Not so fast. No mainstream reporter bothered to point out that it is usually conservatives who berate judges who overturn jury decisions. But more important, none fully described Chalfant and the taint of his decision.

In their Sept. 13 story, Michael Finnegan and Matea Gold of the Los Angeles Times waited 33 paragraphs to tell their readers that, according to a campaign aide to Governor Gray Davis, the decision was a "partisan ruling by a Republican judge." Apparently neither Finnegan nor Gold had time to perform even a cursory background check on the 49-year-old Chalfant. (The pair finally allowed Davis a reaction quote in the 34th paragraph but screwed that up, too. They erroneously claimed that the governor had called the judge's ruling "appropriate." He didn't, and on Sept. 15, the Times apologized for the gaffe.)
But the Times wasn't alone in bungling. Five days after Chalfant's ruling, the mainstream press largely had still failed to disclose easily obtainable and obviously relevant information about the judge's close ties to the Republican Party. Recognizing the gift of the omission, GOP strategists were quick to convince reporters that the real story had shifted from the case to the campaign. Who has time to look at the judge when the new verdict means, as the GOP's Ken Khachigian said, "the resurrection of William Simon"?
Lost in the overblown rhetoric are the following facts about Chalfant:
•He and his wife, Michele, are longtime registered Republicans.
•He was appointed to the bench in 1998 by then-Governor Pete Wilson, a Republican and board member of the politically conservative Irvine Co., one of the largest campaign contributors to the California Republican Party and its gubernatorial candidates.
•Before he became a judge, Chalfant was a lawyer who specialized in defending wealthy corporate executives against the FBI and the state attorney general.
•He's a longtime Republican benefactor. Over the past several election cycles, Chalfant and his wife have contributed at least $3,750 to California Republicans such as Matt Fong, Jim Rogan and Pete Wilson.
Given that most newspapers failed to detail Chalfant's connection to the party attempting to put Simon into office, it was understandable that they would also ignore Davis campaign spokesman Roger Salazar's observation. "As a Democrat, a Republican-appointed judge's reverse of a decision during a campaign in a favor of a Republican candidate rings all too familiar," said Salazar. Indeed, it does. In 2000, the Republican-controlled Supreme Court intervened on behalf of George W. Bush, who lost the presidential popular vote to Democrat Al Gore in 2000.
Ironically, it was Simon—not Davis or the Democrats—who first raised the issue of partisanship in the fraud case. After the bombshell jury ruling on July 30, Simon detectives investigated the background of jurors and allegedly found that one of them (they refused to identify the juror) had been "active in Democratic politics." (Somehow Simon's dicks forgot to disclose if any of the other jurors were active Republicans.) Adopting a conspiratorial tone, the candidate told reporter Dave Lesher of Statenet.com he believed that the lone Democrat juror had "tainted the fraud verdict." The judge's party affiliation and connections went unmentioned.
With Chalfant's "impartial ruling"—as one Republican strategist boldly told an LA radio station—Simon says he will try again to portray himself as an honest businessman in the campaign's final weeks.
But that portrayal flies in the face of an ugly reality: even Chalfant can't erase what the case revealed about Simon. Under oath in May, the candidate played the fool when he testified about the multimillion dollar phone company he helped found, manage and own:
Question: Are you familiar with a company called Coinable Simon? Bill Simon: Not really. Did you ever have a position with Coinable Simon?
Not to the best of my recollection.
Did you know Coinable Simon existed?
I heard the name.
That's about all you know about it?
That's about all I know.
Unlike Chalfant, the jury of 12 citizens was not amused by Simon's prevarication; one juror told reporters that he felt "insulted" by Simon's defense. But that reasonable assessment has been lost in the media's pro-Simon hype, best typified by Investor's Business Daily. That paper argued that no one can now accuse the Republican nominee of being "the grainy face of corporate evil." It's time, they said, for Simon "to step up to the plate and start swinging with some conviction" that his campaign represents moral superiority.
God Ranks Sixth
Kudos to Los Angeles Times religion reporter William Lobdell, who on Sept. 14 published an intriguing story about a conservative Christian pollster who found, among other tidbits, that:
•Divorce rates are no different for born-again Christians than for non-religious citizens.
•A majority of Christians vote from economic self-interest rather than spiritual or moral concerns.
•Having a "close, personal relationship with God" ranks only sixth in the life goals of most born-again Christians.

Some athletes say that ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate helps improve muscle growth.
Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) is used by the body to make many substances related to cell growth and repair. It has been used in medical research to treat severe burns, improve healing after surgery, and other clinical situations. Unfortunately, no research has explored the effects of OKG in athletes.

Topic: I'll never get used to this
It's truly amazing how sick a person can be with this and then bounce back so quickly. Believe me, we're grateful for every extra second that God gives us with Charlie here on earth. The high's and low's are so extreme. Has anyone else experienced this? Since Thurs. June 5th when Charlie got his 2nd chemo infusion of oxaliplatin, he has been so sick - vomiting, diarrhea, not eating, losing weight, resting or sleeping 20 of 24 hours, pale, bloating, thinking "just let me die if this is how I have to live." I've been on the phone almost every day this week with his oncologist or nurse. Wed. this week, the doctor said to quit taking the Xeloda pills. Charlie quit them and by Fri., he was up, hungry, wanting to go get some barbeque. Today, he's working on a leak in the shower, just got back from Lowe's (Charlie & Jeff's favorite place I think). Don't know if it was coincidence with the Xeloda or what because Charlie took it back in Jan. and Feb. of this year along with his radiation and it didn't bother him a bit then. Maybe combination of it and oxaliplatin now?? Who knows? I'm just so glad he's feeling better!
From feeling like he was at death's door to fixing the shower - all in one week. Amazing!
Best wishes to everyone as we continue the battle.

Sonia Sabri Brings EKALYA to the WOMAD Festival This Weekend
SONIA SABRI is to perform her thrilling solo dance work, EKALYA at another of the UK's biggest festivals this summer. Tonight, July 26th at WOMAD, Sonia will take to the dance stage with her band, led by Sonia Sabri Company's Musical Director, Sarvar Sabri, and will blow the audience out of their tents!
"I'm so excited about performing at Latitude and WOMAD this summer," says Sonia. "We've heard so much about both festivals and feel very lucky to be invited to perform. We have energetic presentations of dance and live music at both which is our speciality.
"In addition to performing at WOMAD, Sarvar and I will take part in the Festival's Taste the World session at 6pm where a master chef is going to cook one of our favourite Indian dishes - Mughlai Paneer Masala which will be served with delicious mango lassi to 50 lucky members of the audience. Alongside the cooking, we'll be sharing some chat, rhythm, melodies and cooking tips - sounds like the perfect evening!"
Ekalya (from the Sanskrit 'solo') is a barnstorming, solo composition that intricately and deftly weaves dance with music and features dancer/choreographer Sonia Sabri's electrifying signature footwork, whipping turns, complex rhythms and storytelling mime and gesture. A contemporary/classical celebration of Persian and Indian artistry expressed through the intricate language of Kathak dance, Sonia will be accompanied onstage by master tabla player Sarvar Sabri (left with Sonia) with musicians on sitar, harmonium and vocals.
SONIA SABRI is a dancer, choreographer, teacher and artistic director of Sonia Sabri Company, the Birmingham-based company she co-founded with her husband, Sarvar Sabri, musical director and tabla maestro. Sonia Sabri Company is Associate Artist at mac, Birmingham's leading arts complex and tours nationally and internationally.
Sonia choreographs most of the company's work - Red, You, Kathakbox, Jugni - and has collaborated with choreographer Shobana Jeyasingh to produce Parallels, Drishti, and Neon Dream and with dancer/choreographer Ash Mukherjee on Kaavish and Labyrinth which is currently on tour. Sonia's vision is to present Kathak in contemporary ways for a wide audience and to work with collaborators and performers whose disciplines range from music and dance to poetry, design and film.
Sonia Sabri Company's Musical Director, Sarvar Sabri, is a world-class musician and composer. A Master tabla player and founder of the Sabri Ensemble, Sarvar has played and collaborated with the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, Bournemouth Sinfonietta, East of England Orchestra, Sinfonia Baltica, and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Says Sarvar Sabri: "When we work on the music for a new Sonia Sabri Company piece, we love discovering new musical talents, particularly if they live locally. We've sometimes found that musicians and singers, who often hail from my home town of Delhi, are literally living around the corner from us in Birmingham!"

STANFORD -- Quarterback Josh Nunes picked the perfect time to play the game of his life.
Nunes directed two fourth-quarter touchdown drives Saturday as Stanford rallied for a 54-48 overtime victory over Arizona before an announced crowd of 48,204 at Stanford Stadium.
The wild game, which featured 10 lead changes, was part of a Cardinal ticket mini-plan in which participating fans will receive Andrew Luck Bobbleheads.
It also came nine days after Nunes was criticized by fans and media for his performance in a loss at Washington in which Stanford failed to score an offensive touchdown.
Against that backdrop — and with Stanford desperate to keep pace with Oregon in the Pac-12 North — Nunes responded by completing 21 of 34 passes for 360 yards and two touchdowns.
He also ran for three scores.
"It's not what we learned (about Nunes); it's maybe what other people learned,'' Stanford coach David Shaw said. "He's a tough kid. He bounces back. He doesn't listen to the noise.''
Nunes was at his best when Stanford (4-1, 2-1) needed him most: After Arizona and its high-powered offense took a 48-34 lead with nine minutes left.
The redshirt junior calmly orchestrated a 60-yard touchdown drive that pulled the Cardinal within a touchdown with 6:34 remaining.
He then directed a 79-yard scoring drive — it included a 17-yard pass to tight end Zach Ertz on fourth down — that tied the game with 45 seconds left.
Both possessions ended with touchdown runs .... by Nunes.
"I definitely used (the Washington loss) as a stepping stone,'' Nunes said. "I feel like I did a better job. I made a lot of throws that I didn't make last week. It was mainly ball position, velocity — just be more consistent.''
Shredded for much of the game, Stanford's defense took over when overtime began: on third down, end Henry Anderson deflected quarterback Matt Scott's pass high into the air; linebacker Chase Thomas came down with the interception at the six yard line.
At that point, all Stanford needed was a field goal. It got a touchdown instead as tailback Stepfan Taylor ripped through the Wildcats' exhausted defense for a 21-yard game-winning score.
The victory came on the fifth anniversary of the Cardinal's epic upset of USC and likely preserved No. 18 Stanford's streak of weeks in the Associated Press top-25 poll (37 and counting).
"We're not a great team right now, but we're getting better,'' Shaw said. "And the one thing we have is guys who have won a lot of games. You can't discount that experience.''
The Cardinal and Wildcats combined for 75 points after halftime and 1,234 total yards — 617 by each team.
Stanford used a combination of its power running game and an efficient downfield passing attack against one of the Pac-12's worst defenses.
Taylor rushed for 142 yards while Ertz and fellow tight end Levine Toilolo combined for 11 catches for 205 yards.
"We always talk about winning one-on-one matchups, whether it's in the run game or the pass game,'' Toilolo said. "Josh put some great balls up there.''
The Wildcats started slowly — no points in the first quarter — but eventually befuddled Stanford with their no-huddle, spread offense. Using short passes as a substitute for the running game, Scott completed 45 of 69 passes for 491 yards and three touchdowns.
The Wildcats are the first team to throw for more than 400 yards against Stanford since Oklahoma in the 2009 Sun Bowl.
"We have a great set of receivers and Matt's been throwing the ball great,'' Arizona receiver Austin Hill said. "We took advantage of a lot of their secondary miscues.''
But when it absolutely had to stop Arizona, the Cardinal found a way.
Trailing by a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, Stanford forced the Wildcats into a three-and-out. Nunes took over with 5:34 left — more than enough time to direct the game-tying drive.
"They did a great job showing run ... then throwing a slant route before our linebackers could get to their spots,'' Thomas said.
"At the end, we just went back to our technique, calling some of the base plays that we know how to run effectively. That's what got it done.''
That, a hefty dose of Nunes' magic.

Evolution Hoax
High exalted be Allah , the King, the Real! Do not rush ahead with the Qur'an before its revelation to you is complete, and say: "My Lord, increase me in knowledge." (Surah Ta Ha, 20:114)
Some people, despite the countless signs surrounding them, fail to appreciate Allah's greatness. Despite their helplessness, they grow arrogant and never think about our Creator, because they follow the urgings of their lower self, which encourages them to indulge in evil. Yet the faithful, aware of their helplessness before Allah's greatness, understand that they have no real power whatsoever. Allah calls attention to creation's helplessness and His greatness in the following example:
O mankind! An example has been made, so listen carefully. Those whom you call upon besides Allah cannot even create a single fly, even if they were to join together to do it. And if a fly steals something from them, they cannot get it back. How feeble are both the seeker and the sought! They do not measure Allah with His true measure. Allah is All-Strong, Almighty. ( Surat al-Hajj, 22:73-74)
Even though every corner of the universe manifests Allah's greatness, this vast manifestation is not sufficient to explain His infinite power and greatness. Allah is exalted above any partnership, defects, and limits. He is the sole Owner of all beautiful names and superior attributes. His knowledge, wisdom, might, power, mercy, compassion, and generosity is infinite.
The word "infinite" is a concept over which one has to think a lot in order to grasp Allah's greatness. After death, Allah will create people anew and make them start a new life either in Paradise or in Hell as a repayment for what they did in this world. Here, we are talking about infinity — not about a hundred years, a hundred thousand years, millions or even billions of years. That is, even if there were hundreds of trillions of people destined to live for a trillion years, they still would be unable to determine the exact limit of infinity.
However, Allah has such a vast knowledge that everything we consider "infinite" is within His knowledge. From the moment that time was created until eternity, Allah determines every event, thought, and moment of time, as the Qur'an proclaims:
We have created all things in due measure. Our command is only one word, like the blinking of an eye. We destroyed those of your kind in the past. But is there any rememberer there? Everything they did is in the Books. Everything is recorded, large or small. ( Surat al-Qamar, 54:49-53)
Then when He granted them a healthy, upright child, they associated what He had given them with Him. But Allah is far above what they associate with Him! ( Surat al-A'raf, 7:190)
2009-08-19 11:29:49
He Who guides you in the darkness of land and sea and sends out the winds bringing advance news of His mercy. Is there another deity besides Allah? May Allah be exalted above what they associate with Him! ( Surat an-Naml, 27:63)
Allah created you, then provides for you, then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life. Can any of your partner-deities do any of that? Glory be to Him, and may He be exalted above anything they associate with Him! ( Surat ar-Rum, 30:40)

Nissan Armada Serpentine Belt at Milford Nissan Near Pawtucket, RI 02860
There are many engine components that need to run properly, one of which being the serpentine belt in your Nissan Armada. Although it's durable, it still requires regular attention. The best way to ensure it is running smoothly is with regular checks from the Service Department here at Milford Nissan near Pawtucket, RI 02860.

Milford Nissan Service
Murdoch came to work at Milford Nissan in July of 2014 from our owner Jeff Batta's other Nissan store in Marlboro where he worked as a Service Advisor for 11 years. He was only 19 when he began working for Marlboro Nissan and Jeff Batta as a parts truck driver and we are now proud that he is the Service Manager of Milford Nissan. He is married and has two amazing little girls. Outside of work he loves to do all sorts of outside activities that range from camping to playing sports. He likes to work out and to stay fit and nothing helps with that more than being up and about and staying active. Murdoch's choice in Nissan Vehicles would have to be the Nissan Altima. Besides being a comfortable and reliable car it has great gas mileage, and can fit the whole family with ease.
John is from Framingham, Ma. Outside of work John enjoys spending time with his family and friends. He tries to take as many trips as possible with his family in their class- A motor home. Fishing is something that he has always loved to do especially striper fishing, just being outside and enjoying the New England weather is one of his favorite ways to pass the time. He tries to go to as many patriots games as possible. John's favorite Nissan vehicle would have to be the 1994 300zx twin turbo. From its attractive style to its handling performance and power, this vehicle is one of his favorite sports cars that he has ever driven.

How quickly time passes – in fact, it simply flies by. This statement sums up my life over the past six months, during which I have been taking off and flying away several times per week.
Since August of last year my life has adapted to a whole new rhythm and style. I no longer live from one weekend to the next but from one monthly work schedule to the next instead. I have been a SWISS flight attendant since last summer and my new place of work is up in the sky. Time no longer hurries by – it flies past me at high speed. And I enjoy every second.
If someone had said to me three years ago that I would one day be a flight attendant, I would have simply smiled at them and shook my head. Sure, sliding down the emergency evacuation chute in training sounded exciting back then. But I didn't want people to regard me as little more than a "trolley dolly". However, such prejudicial attitudes can be found anywhere. The disparaging term "pen pusher" which is often used in reference to office workers and secretaries isn't any better. And I was a "pen pusher" myself in my previous professional life, when I was kept on the go by the SMI (Swiss Market Index), my bosses and anxious customers. Today, they have been replaced by flight schedules, airplanes and, of course, passengers from all over the world. My time as an assistant in the field of private banking was good and interesting in its own way. But after nine years in the banking sector the time had come for me to seek a new challenge away from the world of finance.
It all started two years ago exactly. At that point I was certain my future lay in journalism. I had always enjoyed writing and had just passed the entrance exam to study journalism and corporate communications. One day I was sitting in the train with a group of fellow aspiring communicators when, out of the blue, a young woman asked me the crucial question: "Have you ever thought of becoming a flight attendant?" To which I replied: "What makes you ask?" The woman, herself a former SWISS flight attendant, said: "You look like one." That was the beginning of my airline story. And although it was not as spectacular a start as that of some of my colleagues – who had dreamed of becoming a flight attendant since childhood or had grown up next to Runway 28 and can identify every type of aircraft from a distance – I don't regret taking the advice given to me on the spur of the moment by the young woman in the train. And now here I am, ready to tell you about my life and times as a cabin crew member.

It's funny that some people like Hall or Savage can be snubbed from the HOF, but a person like Billy Graham who publicly tried to screw over the entire WWE got in. You got to love backstage politics. A lot of the WWE HOF-ers have baggage, IDK how Scott's is any worse.

Topic: Caring wife wishful life!
My intro is a bit overwhelming. Exhausted with the fight of holding the tears here at hospice. The roller coaster of hope, dreams subsiding, and fear what's to come has me unable to eat much and not sleep. My anxiety meds far from meeting my needs. Being a 24/7 caregiver overwhelming task with no help till now has drained my energy. Only nervous energy left...I guess.
It seems such a cruel thing to happen to us. Engaged then next month diagnosed groom with liver/liver duct cancer. Wonder if the shock of it all will ever let up. Cheated is all I feel. Honored to be his wife. Proud of his courage suffering to hold on everyday. Very rarely leave his side. Scared of losing a second with him.
Besides, it took me 15 years after a bad divorce to find the absolute love of my life. Trust the Lord's strength will carry me the rest of the way whatever his will is. The heartbreak tough on me. Married less than a year. Super hard to bear. Pray for sharing memories to treasure for however long have please Lord.

Straightforward and gentle in speech,
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied,
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful,
Not proud and demanding in nature.
Let them not do the slightest thing
That the wise would later reprove,
Wishing: In gladness and in safety,
May all beings be at ease....
By not holding to fixed vews,
The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision,
Being freed from all sense-desires,
Is not born again into this world.

Campus Artwork
The bronze burro statue beside Guggenheim Hall, was presented to Colorado School of Mines in 1995 by the Adolph Coors Foundation. It was created by artist Robin J. Laws.
Located in front of Berthoud Hall is a time capsule dedicated to Mines alumni in celebration of the Alumni Association's 100th anniversary — 1895 to 1995. The time capsule will be opened in 2045. (Contents include a slide rule, a calculator, a credit card and a freshman miner's cap.)
A stained glass representation of the miner's protector, can be seen from the front door of Berthoud Hall.
In the courtyard of the Ben Parker Student Center are Sculptural Benches, created in granite by Richard Hansen. The benches are a result of the Art in Public Places Program, administered by the Colorado Council on the Arts.
"Denver Miner"
The sculpture, created by Ray Kling, can be seen in the entryway of the Ben Parker Student Center. It was purchased in 1996 from the Central Bank and Trust Company.
Made of full antique, mouth-blown glass that was custom-ordered from all over the world, the four-story stained glass window in Alderson Hall's entryway illustrates the concept of "flow." The artist was Barbara Saul.
The sculpture by John T. Young, located in Kafadar Commons at the center of campus, represents the three stages of technology: Stone Age, classical and modern. It was commissioned by the state Art in Public Places Program.
The sculpture depicting a North Plains Indian elder by artist George Carlson is located between the Ben H. Parker Student Center and the Student Recreation Center. The artwork illustrates a gesture of universal greeting representing different cultures coming together in the hope of mutual understanding — a goal of the Mines community. John Lockridge, a 1952 Mines alumnus, and his wife Erika, donated the work in 2007.
The complex tangle of stainless steel is approximately eight feet in diameter and was fabricated from more than 300 feet of pipe. Like the original Gordian Knot, it is without a beginning or end. According to the artist, Douglas Kornfeld, the sculpture was inspired by the students of the engineering school and an ancient story of Alexander the Great. In 333 BC, wintering at Gordian, Alexander attempted to untie the Gordian Knot. The legend claimed that whoever untangled the knot would rule Asia. Finding no end to the knot, or a way to unbind it, he sliced it in half with his sword. Alexander went on to conquer Asia, fulfilling the prophecy. The term "Cutting the Gordian Knot" is today often used as a metaphor for an intractable problem, solved by a bold stroke. The sculpture was commissioned by the state Art in Public Places Program and installed in 2008. It sits outside the CTLM building.
"Leather Helmets and Broken Noses"
While leading Mines' 1939 football team to an undefeated season, Lloyd W. Madden also led the nation in scoring and was named a 1st Team All-American. Additionally, he was an outstanding track athlete, scholar and later, a professional football player. Donated by Stewart Chuber, geological engineer, Colorado School of Mines Class of 1952. The piece is dedicated to Lloyd W. Madden, geological engineer and One of Mines' Finest Athletes, Colorado School of Mines Class of 1941. The sculpture, created by artist Bob Coffee, resides outside Volk Gymnasium on Maple Street.

Doing Drugstore: Blistex Lip Infusion Sheer Liquid Balm
Over the weekend, I commenced gardening season by planting my annual beefsteak tomatoes. At the end of the day, as I looked down at my fruitful accomplishment, I realized I'd been stricken with the dreaded poison ivy. When I went to buy calamine lotion, this new Blistex Lip Infusion Sheer Liquid Balm in Cherry Splash ($2.89) came in the package as a free sample.
Never one to resist the temptation of a chapstick, I immediately tried it, and I was wowed by the result. Let me start by noting the cool sensation of the metal roller-ball applicator, which is perfectly refreshing in the hot Summer sun. For the rest of the highlights,
Then, there's the texture: Somehow, they have managed to avoid all of the unpleasant waxiness that plagues most drugstore lip balms. This stuff has a great cherry flavor and contains SPF 15. Also, it has a smooth, more liquefied consistency, yet it still binds itself to the lips despite being very light. The result: fully conditioned, chap-free lips that lasted all afternoon. Thanks to Blistex for turning a very itchy situation into a delightful new discovery.

HOTSHOTS snooker club made no mistake to win their first Premier Division championships.
They beat Pockets SC B 4-1 to remain undefeated on their own tables at their Langley base. Despite making a break of 41, Neil Beckley had to work hard to overcome the challenge of Paul Crisp on the pink, while Dave Green had to pot a difficult pink to thwart the efforts of Dave Timmington, whose 36 break had left him trailing after a good start. Roy Stokes and Rob Howen also won but Milan Krstanovic lost a re-spotted black to Danny Rees.
West Midlands Police beat Netherton Sports and Social 4-1 at home to make sure of the runners-up berth.
Moor Pool and Snooker A had to better Netherton's result to be certain of avoiding relegation and just did enough to see off the challenge of the bottom team, last season's First Division champions, Kingswinford RBL A.
Pockets A's Andy Smith gave his team a good start with a 58 break at home against Amblecote Institute A, but the visitors hit back to win 3-2 with Andy Round knocking in an 89, the second best break of the season, beaten by his own 103 registered seven weeks before.
Stourbridge Institute B had made certain of the First Division championship the week before, and they finished on a high note with a 4-1 win away to Amblecote RBL A.
Kinver Constitutional A just needed to win to be sure of the runners-up spot, but that task proved just beyond them in a very competitive match away to Stourbridge Institute A. Arnie Tromans gave Kinver a fine start, but Richard Rudge, with a 32 break, Paul Bates and Paul Garbett put the hosts 3-1 ahead before Mitchell Hines salvaged what proved to be a valuable frame for Kinver, who had to settle for a share of the spoils when Amblecote Institute B beat Baggeridge Social 4-1 to tie for second.
Three defeats in a row had caused Amblecote to lose momentum, but Adam Coley, Cary Homer and Mick Cook put them 3-1 ahead, despite a win for Frankie Bennett, before Matt Johnson pipped Matt Whale on the final black to enable his team to level with Kinver.
Indeed it would have been a three-way tie if Moor Pool and Snooker C had won 5-0 and not 4-1. They did well to win some closely-fought frames at home to Kingswinford SC, however, with Ben Wakeman continuing his fine form in his first season, and John Cowan earning a point for the visitors.
Stuart Taylor, John Wooldridge and Dave Flavell lifted Wombourne to a 3-2 win at home to Kinver's C team although the current challenge-cup holders ended the season in one of the relegation places.
Cup semi-finalists, Kinver Const B ended their league campaign with a 3-2 win at home to Kingswinford Cons A.
Second Division champions, Norton Social B, lost the first three frames at Amblecote Inst D before Pete Cairns and Luke Grosvenor hit back for Norton.
Dibdale Snooker Club had completed their programme and had to wait to see if one of two teams could catch them for second place. Stourbridge Inst had to win 5-0 at the Old Edwardian Club, but lost the first frame when Nick Aston was defeated by Chris Cowley.
A 4-1 win would have been enough for Amblecote RBL B to tie with Dibdale but Steve, Martin and Jack Ball could only force a 3-2 win away to Amblecote Inst E for whom the brother & sister pairing of Steven and Louise Taylor secured a frame apiece.
