A LARGE field of 90 golfers took part in the January Medal for the Hangover Trophy at Taunton and Pickeridge Golf Club.
The overall medal winner was Mike Robinson. He also won division one with 64 but only after countback put him ahead of Ian Clare while Stuart Parkinson was third with 65.
Doug Sharp with 67 claimed the honours in the division two, but there was keen competition for the places after three players returned with 69.
Following countback it was Clive Hardy who was second, Rob Allen third and Mark Ramsden fourth.
The division three winner was Peter Layzell with 65, three ahead of Colin Gudge with 68 while Peter Cooke was third on 69.
On Tuesday there was a good turn-out for the ladies' Stableford that was played in good conditions on a full course.
At the end of an enjoyable round it was Ali McGowan with 35 points who was the winner in the Silver Division, one ahead of Mary Guy.
Vice-captain Jill Paul edged into third spot on countback ahead of Linda Lynch after both scored 33 points.
In the Bronze Division it was Elizabeth Davies who took the honours with 31.
Three players carded 29 points and after countback it was Sue Walsh who was second, Jenny Bevan third and Sheila Beresford fourth. Angela Hollis was fifth with 28 points on countback from Chrys Maltby.
Last week's 18-hole Foursomes Stableford was won by Lennox Heath and Marion Beranek with 36 points.
Linda Lynch and Heather Crump were second with 35 points, Louise Worth and Rosie Spragg third with 34, while fourth place went to Carolyn Stait and Jill Paul who scored 32.
There were no 2s so the ladies' captain's charity, the Maxillofacial Unit at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, which Shirley Hartley the current captain has been supporting since last March and has raised almost £2,000, has benefitted to the tune of £17.

A study on the role of Teaching Assistants (TAs) in primary schools has suggested that TAs perceive themselves to have a positive effect on children displaying challenging behaviour and believe that without their support many of these children would be excluded from mainstream school.
The study, conducted by Dr Gemma Handelsman from Hertfordshire County Council and presented at the British Psychological Society's Division of Educational and Child Psychology annual professional event today, Thursday 9 January 2014, aimed to gather the views of TAs regarding their role in supporting children displaying challenging behaviour and identify factors that help and hinder TAs in this role.
Gemma explained: "The number of TAs in mainstream schools has almost tripled over the last decade and the number of children displaying challenging behaviour included in these schools has also increased significantly. Consequently more TAs are used to support these children, but little research has explored this aspect of their role."
The study consisted of two phases; the first was group interviews with eleven TAs and the second was an online questionnaire completed by 249 TAs - representative of the wider TA population, being mostly female, aged over 36 years and of white ethnic background.
The main themes to emerge showed that many TAs were positive about their impact on the child's development, their inclusion in school and mostly significantly their relationship with individual children. They listen to the children and help them identify their strengths. However, they were less certain about their long term impact. The findings further suggest that TAs would benefit from more opportunities to develop their understanding of children's behaviour and national and local SEN processes, through training and support.
Many TAs reported working overtime each week (75 per cent), which was often unpaid, and some were expected to teach whole classes (39 per cent).
Gemma said: "It seems clear that many TAs are very proud of their complex role in supporting these children and believe they make a positive difference."
"They wanted be more valued, respected and supported. They believed that their views should be listened to by senior staff and external professionals. They would also welcome more regular opportunities to plan, share knowledge and feedback with teachers."

8 Reasons Why You Should Expect Kharma This Monday
by, 07-18-2012 at 03:01 PM (9637 Views)
The Timing
Word had it that Kharma said she was going to appear at RAW 1000, as she told a fansite, which later had to remove the report. So if she knew her set return date and openly told people about it, then it doesn't add up to it being her decision to leave because "creative has nothing for her".
Let's see:
Episode 996.
Kharma training to return with personal trainer.
Kharma ready to come back on TV.
Kharma gone? Um, okay.
It would have been more believable to me if this happened a lot earlier, out of focus of the 1000th episode. RAW 1000 is supposedly the biggest episode in the history of the business, as they try to add many surprises to make it must-watch from start to finish, and it's very likely that the Divas will also have a match of some sort.
Remember that article? Vince said he had a list of Superstars he wanted to keep hidden from WWE so their appearances wouldn't get spoiled. At Extreme Rules, WWE wasn't happy about all the fans predicting Kharma's return. It was too obvious since the Bella Twins were soon to be on their way out of WWE. So they booked Layla to take the Divas title instead. Discouraging reports like these are designed to prevent history repeating itself. We have them babble about how "creative didn't have any ideas for her" when in reality they're trying to avoid becoming a predictable product.
The Conflicting Reports
One report says she was released, TMZ says she was fired, yet another report says it's all an error by WWE's website, and even another says she left to "clear her head" even longer than she has already tried to, and it really took them six days to make their minds up? Which one is it? Not to mention WWE were said to be "pissed" last Thursday about her Twitter profile getting moved early. Why would they be "pissed" if she's no longer under their care? And an even bigger question: Why would they be "pissed" about it if she left on her terms? WWE likely is in on this charade.
Her Importance To The WWE
Besides her, what other Divas are considered over as of now? Very few, AJ and perhaps Kelly Kelly, who is away at this moment. WWE wants her to return, the Divas want her to return, the fans want her to return and she wants to return, which has been a slow, gradual process. Kharma was Triple H's first signing from his backstage role, and it was a success up until her having to go on maternity leave. If Triple H signed people who didn't turn out well, why has he been given privileges to sign more Indy talent?
On a side note: The Wrestling Observer reported that WWE was thinking about a possible feud between Kharma and Sara Del Ray. This was posted the SAME day of her Twitter transfer, and you'll find it if you search news on Del Ray on this very site.
The History of WWE's Summer Contract Cliffhangers
Remember all the chaos surrounding CM Punk's contract status last year? Remember Daniel Bryan's firing the year before that? How many of you were convinced that they were never going to come back to the WWE? This is one of their finest ways WWE likes to pull the strings of the IWC, and it's no different with Kharma. They like to trick the dirt sheet sites, as expressed in the latest episode of "Are You Serious".
The Lack of Acknowledgement by WWE Talents
Aside from all the sources in WWE telling the sites information, none of the wrestlers themselves are confirming it on Twitter. No one is saying ANYTHING on the matter. The Divas commented on the Bella Twins' releases, they also commented on Maxine's departure. And let's not forget how many Knockouts confirmed Angelina Love leaving TNA. Many fans asked the Divas about Kharma but the truth is, they aren't allowed to talk about her, probably because they're acting as if she isn't leaving. The people she works with would be the most trustworthy people regarding their status out of every public image in the WWE. If they aren't saying goodbye, she's not going.
Her Own Twitter
Kharma has been very quiet regarding her status, and it's likely WWE is still monitoring her Tweets as to what she should and should not post. No change in her name, no change in her Twitter handle, she's not accepting bookings as she Tweeted, never did she type the words "released", "quit", or "leaving", and she only has stated that her profile got moved. Nothing else.
What Has Layla Done Lately?
Layla hasn't been given much to do for a while as Divas Champion. She beat Beth Phoenix twice on PPV and hasn't defended her title since. It seems appropriate to me that Kharma would be next to feud with her, I mean Layla isn't over and it's not like she can do things by herself to get over. It wouldn't make much sense for Layla to enter another feud and then Kharma returning during the middle of that feud. Layla has had the opportunity to put her title on the line this Monday, but lost the poll to Christian and his IC title by 2%. And they want this mystery opponent to be a surprise indeed. If Kharma wasn't planned to be this mystery opponent against Layla, who would they have in mind, Kelly Kelly? Because if Kharma isn't coming back, then what are they going to do with Layla?

Treat Your Ash Trees Now to Protect Them From the Emerald Ash Borer
June 1, 2011
More Information
Homeowners who wish to protect their ash trees from the emerald ash borer should take action in June, say county officials. Every ash tree is at risk from this insect because it has been found across the county.
Many healthy or infested ash trees can be treated with an insecticide available at many garden stores. Look for any insecticide that contains the chemical imidacloprid.
For trees with trunks greater than 15 inches in diameter, homeowners should seek treatment from a professional tree care firm. They can inject the chemicals directly into a tree's trunk which will last longer than other treatments available to the public.
If a tree has lost more than 50 percent of its leaves, insecticides most likely won't work, and there are no other treatment options.
Insecticides are most effectively applied in May through June because trees are more likely to absorb the chemicals as they revive in spring. It takes four to six weeks for the insecticide to be thoroughly distributed within the tree. Insecticides available to homeowners must be reapplied once a year, and professional treatments need to be repeated once every one to three years, depending on the insecticide used.
Two signs indicate that an ash tree may be infested with the emerald ash borer:
- Trees may have horizontal splits or fissures in their bark
- Trees may have small shoots or branches growing from the trunk, called epicormic shoots.
To track the insect's spread, approximately 500 glue traps were hung in ash trees across the county as part of a statewide monitoring program. The large, purple, triangular traps are non-toxic. They don't contain pesticides or chemicals. To date, this pest has been found in Arlington, Fairfax, Frederick and Prince William counties.
Officials ask the public to report traps that have fallen to the ground, and advise not to touch them since they are covered with extremely sticky glue. To report fallen traps, call the Fairfax County Forest Pest Branch at 703-324-5541, TTY 711.
State and federal quarantines ban the transport of firewood outside of most of Northern Virginia to prevent this pest from spreading to other parts of the state. The quarantine covers:
- Fairfax County
- Arlington County
- Clark County
- Fauquier County
- Frederick County

A CHARITY car wash and fun day raised more than £1,000 towards an appeal to help a Caldicot tot walk independently.
And this means that in a month the amount raised has reached £10,000.
Firefighters from Chepstow Fire Station donated part of the proceeds from a charity car wash held in Tesco's car park in the town on Saturday towards the Help Imogen Appeal.
The South Wales Fire and Rescue Crew donated over £150 from the event to help Catherine Ashwell-Rice, of Lapwing Avenue, raise £40,000 for her daughter to have a radical procedure to enable her to walk independently.
Imogen Ashwell-Rice, two, has a debilitating nerve-muscle condition known as spastic diplegia cerebral palsy, which means she walks on her toes, has stiffness in her legs and poor balance and co-ordination.
The 36 year-old mum of eight hopes a procedure, performed at Bristol Children's Hospital, called selective dorsal rhizotomy will help avoid further deterioration.
A second fundraiser, held at the Severn View Social Club, Caldicot, raised over £1,000. Visitors to the club enjoyed a bouncy castle, face painting, stalls, dancing and were able to get a closer look at a fire engine.
Ms Ashwell-Rice said the two events have taken the total raised to more than £10,000.
She said: "Thank you to everyone who supported us on Saturday and please remember we still need to keep going. This operation will change Imogen's life."
Anyone wanting to support the appeal should visit the Facebook page Help-Imogen-Walk.

I assumed that if a shader is computationally expensive then the execution is just slower. But running the following GLSL FS instead just crashes
void main() { float x = 0; float y = 0; int sum = 0; for (float x = 0; x < 10; x += 0.00005) { for (float y = 0; y < 10; y += 0.00005) { sum++; } } fragColor = vec4(1, 1, 1 , 1.0); } with unhandled exception in nvoglv32.dll. Are there any hard limits on the number of steps/time that a shader can take before it is shut down? I was thinking about implementing some time intensive computation in shaders where it would take on the order of seconds to compute a frame, is that possible? Thanks.

There are studios selling applications which is just copying any 3Dgraphic content and regenerating into another new window. especially for CAVE Virtual reality experience. so that the user opens REvite or CAD or any other 3D applications and opens a model. then when the user selects the rendered window the VR application copies the 3D model information from the OpenGL window.
I got the clue that the VR application replaces the windows opengl32.dll file. how this is possible ... how can we copy the 3d content from the current OpenGL window.
anyone, please help me .. how to go further... to create an application like VR CAVE.

hi all,
i am trying to build an OpenGL 2D GUI system, (yeah yeah, i know i should not be re inventing the wheel, but this is for educational and some other purpose only),
i have built GUI system before using 2D systems such as that of HTML/JS canvas, but in 2D system, i can directly match a mouse coordinates to the actual graphic coordinates with additional computation for screen size/ratio/scale ofcourse.
now i want to port it to OpenGL, i know that to render a 2D object in OpenGL we specify coordiantes in Clip space or use the orthographic projection, now heres what i need help about.
1. what is the right way of rendering the GUI? is it thru drawing in clip space or switching to ortho projection?
2. from screen coordinates (top left is 0,0 nd bottom right is width height), how can i map the mouse coordinates to OpenGL 2D so that mouse events such as button click works? In consideration ofcourse to the current screen/size dimension.
3. when let say if the screen size/dimension is different, how to handle this? in my previous javascript 2D engine using canvas, i just have my working coordinates and then just perform the bitblk or copying my working canvas to screen canvas and scale the mouse coordinates from there, in OpenGL how to work on a multiple screen sizes (more like an OpenGL ES question).
lastly, if you guys know any books, resources, links or tutorials that handle or discuss this, i found one with marekknows opengl game engine website but its not free,
Just let me know. Did not have any luck finding resource in google for writing our own OpenGL GUI framework.
IF there are no any available online, just let me know, what things do i need to look into for OpenGL and i will study them one by one to make it work.
thank you, and looking forward to positive replies.

I have a few beginner questions about tesselation that I really have no clue.
The opengl wiki doesn't seem to talk anything about the details.
What is the relationship between TCS layout out and TES layout in?
How does the tesselator know how control points are organized?
e.g. If TES input requests triangles, but TCS can output N vertices.
What happens in this case?
In this article,
the isoline example TCS out=4, but TES in=isoline.
And gl_TessCoord is only a single one.
So which ones are the control points?
How are tesselator building primitives?

I've been developing a 2D Engine using SFML + ImGui.
Here you can see an image
The editor is rendered using ImGui and the scene window is a sf::RenderTexture where I draw the GameObjects and then is converted to ImGui::Image to render it in the editor.
Now I need to create a 3D Engine during this year in my Bachelor Degree but using SDL2 + ImGui and I want to recreate what I did with the 2D Engine.
I've managed to render the editor like I did in the 2D Engine using this example that comes with ImGui.
3D Editor preview
But I don't know how to create an equivalent of sf::RenderTexture in SDL2, so I can draw the 3D scene there and convert it to ImGui::Image to show it in the editor.
If you can provide code will be better. And if you want me to provide any specific code tell me.

Wilkof, Raben Lead Reprise's A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
The 2009-2010 season of Reprise Theatre Company continues with "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," 1962's Tony-Award-winning Best Musical, March 16 to 28 at UCLA's Freud Playhouse. Directed by David Lee, the production's book is by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
Tony-Award-nominee Lee Wilkof, who originated the part of Seymour in "Little Shop of Horrors," stars with Larry Raben, one of the original cast of "Forever Plaid." Wilkof has appeared continuously in New York and on Broadway in revivals of "Sweet Charity," "She Loves Me," "Kiss Me, Kate," and "The Odd Couple," and recently spent two seasons as The Wizard in "Wicked." He is also known for his recurring roles on "Law and Order," "Ally McBeal," and "Max Headroom." Larry Raben played Leo Bloom on Broadway and in Las Vegas in Mel Brooks' "The Producers," and also starred off-Broadway and in Los Angeles in "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change." The production will also feature Erich Bergen in the role of 'Hero'.
The rest of the cast features Michael Kostroff, Alan Mandell, Ron Orbach and Ruth Williamson. The ensemble of "Forum" features Annie Abrams, Stuart Ambrose, Bradley Benjamin, Matthew Patrick Davis, Meg Gillentine, Tonya Kay, Laura Keller, Mercy Malick, Russ Marchand, Candace Olsen, and Justin Wilco. Director David Lee, one of the area's most important, creative, musical theatre talents, recently directed "Camelot" at the Pasadena Playhouse, in a noteworthy production featuring a company of eight actors. "Forum" features two musical theatre talents new to Reprise. Choreographer Peggy Hickey, who recently staged the dances for "My Fair Lady" starring Kelsey Grammer and Kelli O'Hara for the New York Philharmonic, is regular choreographer for Goodspeed Opera House and Sacramento Music Circus, and Steve Orich, Tony-Award-nominee for Best Orchestrations for the 2006 Tony-Award-winning Best Musical "Jersey Boys," serves as musical director.
Reprise Theatre Company is headed by Artistic Director Jason Alexander and Producing Director Susan Dietz.
"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" will preview on Tuesday, March 16 and will open on Wednesday, March 17, and continue through Sunday, March 28 at UCLA's Freud Playhouse.
Single tickets are available for "Forum" online at www.reprise.org or through the UCLA Central Ticket Office at 310/825-2101.
Director David Lee is a nine-time Emmy-Award-winning director, writer and producer for television. On stage, he has directed productions of "Light Up the Sky," "Do I Hear A Waltz?," "110 in the Shade," "Diva," "Can-Can" (at Pasadena Playhouse), "How I Fell In Love" (Williamstown Theater Festival), "On The 20th Century," "Assassins," "Company," "A New Brain," "Applause," "Working," "Zorba," "Elegies" (at Reprise!), and staged readings of "The New Hope Memorial" (at the Mark Taper Lab) and "They Knew What They Wanted" (at Roundabout Theatre Company). In 2007, he directed the acclaimed production of "South Pacific" at the Hollywood Bowl with Reba McEntire and Brian Stokes Mitchell. His writing for the theater includes a concert adaptation of "Can-Can" (Encores! with Patti LuPone) and an entirely new book for "Can-Can," which he directed at the Pasadena Playhouse (Ovation Award-Best Director).
Lee is the co-creator of "Frasier" and "Wings," which he also wrote, produced and directed. He served as writer/producer for "Cheers" and directed multiple episodes of "Everybody Loves Raymond." In addition to 18 Emmy nominations, he is the recipient of the Directors Guild Award, Golden Globe, Producers Guild Award, GLAAD Media Award, British Comedy Award, Television Critics Association Award (three times), the Humanitas Prize (twice) and the Peabody.
Choreographer Peggy Hickey choreographed "My Fair Lady" for the New York Philharmonic starring Kelli O'Hara and Kelsey Grammer, "The Most Happy Fella" for New York City Opera, "Oklahoma!" for Paper Mill Playhouse," "On the 20th Century," "Brigadoon," and "A Little Night Music" for Goodspeed Opera House, and many musicals at Sacramento Music Circus.
Musical Director Steve Orich has worked as a successful musical director, orchestrator and composer in Los Angeles and New York for over thirty years, receiving a Tony-Award nomination for Best Orchestrations for the 2006 Best Musical "Jersey Boys," whose cast album won a Grammy as well. Off-Broadway and in regional theatres, he has orchestrated "Snapshots," "Personals," "Hamelin," "Potholes," "A Good Swift Kick," "Paint Your Wagon," "You Never Know," and "Can-Can." Other Los Angeles productions include Michael Feinstein's ""Great American Songbook" at the Mark Taper Forum which he orchestrated and conducted and Bernstein's "Mass" at the Hollywood Bowl for which he did vocal direction. Most recently, he orchestrated "Turn of the Century" for Tommy Tune at the Goodman Theatre. He orchestrated albums for Helen Reddy, Judy Kaye, Debbie Gravitte, Petula Clark and Deborah Gibson; his orchestrations have been performed by the Boston Pops at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the White House and around the world."
More about "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"
Inspired by the farces of the ancient Roman playwright Plautus, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," with book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, earned several Tony awards, including best musical and best book in its original 1962 Broadway run.
After writing the lyrics for "West Side Story" and "Gypsy" (to music of Leonard Bernstein and Jule Styne respectively), "Forum" gave the then 32-year-old Stephen Sondheim his first opportunity to write the music and lyrics for a show, marking his third consecutive hit show.
The late Burt Shevelove was involved in eleven Broadway musicals - among them were "No, No, Nanette," the Tony Award Best Musical (1967) "Hallelujah, Baby," and "Forum." Before "Forum," Larry Gelbart, one of American's most celebrated comedic writers, began his career in the Golden Age of Television, writing for Jack Paar, Bob Hope, Red Buttons, and Sid Caesar, working alongside Neil Simon, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner and Woody Allen. After "Forum," he created the series "M*A*S*H," earning Peabody and Emmy Awards, followed by the film "Tootsie," and the musical "City of Angels." Up until his recent death, he was also a contributing blogger to The Huffington Post.
While the setting and the characters were vaguely Roman, the show really is an homage to American burlesque and a kind of outrageous stage comedy, which has given its various stars some of the funniest and sharpest material to ever be part of a Broadway musical.
The original production, which opened in 1962 at the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon Theatre), played 964 performances - still the longest Broadway run for a Stephen Sondheim-written musical. The original cast included Zero Mostel (Pseudolus) and Jack Gilford (Hysterium).
Mostel and Michael Crawford (as Hero) appeared in the 1966 film version. In 1974, Phil Silvers headlined and won a Tony for this 156-performance revival. A Broadway revival opened in 1996, for which Nathan Lane won a Tony as Pseudolus. Whoopi Goldberg was among his replacements, necessitating some minor book adjustments to accommodate the gender switch.
About Reprise Theatre Company
Since its inception in 1997, Reprise Theatre Company has been a focus of the Los Angeles musical theatre community, producing productions of great American musicals, and a wide variety off concerts, staged-readings, special events and outreach programs.
In May 2007, Jason Alexander became Artistic Director and he was joined by Susan Dietz, Producing Director.
Since its inaugural production of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Promises, Promises," which starred Mr. Alexander, Reprise has brought to the stage vibrant productions from all eras of American musical theatre including the Gershwins' "Of Thee I Sing" and "Strike Up the Band," Cole Porter's "Anything Goes," and Rodgers and Hart's "The Boys from Syracuse" and "Babes in Arms," as well as Richard Rodgers' later "No Strings." The "Golden Era" has been well represented - Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Carousel," Burton Lane and E.Y. Harburg with "Finian's Rainbow," Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe with "Brigadoon," Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden and Adolph Green with "On the Town" and "Wonderful Town," Irving Berlin with "Call Me Madam," Robert Wright and George Forrest with "Kismet," both of the Richard Adler and Jerry Ross musicals "The Pajama Game" and "Damn Yankees," Johnny Mercer and Gene dePaul with "Li'l Abner," Jule Styne with "Bells are Ringing," and Frank Loesser with "The Most Happy Fella."
Musical theatre reached a new peak of popularity in the sixties, along with new creative talents, and Reprise has presented shows by many of them including Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick with "She Loves Me," Gerome Ragni, James Rado and Galt MacDermot's "Hair," Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone with "1776," Charles Adams and Lee Strouse with "Applause," Stephen Schwartz with "Pippin," Cy Coleman with "On the Twentieth Century" (libretto by Betty Comden and Adolph Green) and "City of Angels" (lyrics by David Zippel), Jerry Herman with "Mack and Mabel," and three Stephen Sondheim musicals - "Company," "Sweeney Todd," and "Sunday in the Park with George."
Many of the great stage performers working today, as well as those who reside primarily in Los Angeles, have appeared in Reprise shows including Scott Bakula, Christine Baranski, Brent Barrett, Orson Bean, Jodi Benson, Stephen Bogardus, Dan Butler, Len Cariou, Carolee Carmello, Vicki Carr, Anthony Crivello, Jason Danielely, Lea DeLaria, Cleavant Derricks, Manoel Feliciano, Rodney Gilfry, Kelsey Grammer, Harry Groener, Bob Gunton, Sam Harris, Gregory Harrison, Mimi Hines, Judy Kaye, Jane Krakowski, Marc Kudish, Judith Light, Rebecca Luker, Maureen McGovern, Joey McIntyre, Donna McKechnie, Andrea Marcovicci, Marin Mazzie, Karen Morrow, Burke Moses, Kelli O'Hara, Ken Page, Robert Picardo, David Hyde Pierce, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Roger Rees, Charles Nelson Reilly, Cathy Rigby, Alexandra Silber (in her American debut, reprising her role as Julie in "Carousel", which caused a sensation in the West End), Douglas Sills, Rex Smith, Steven Weber, Marisa Jaret Winokur, Lillias White, Fred Willard, and Rachel York.

UK bike sales expected to reach all time high
Every year Mintel produce a report on bicycles in the UK, and interview 2000 people about their thoughts and attitudes to cycling.
CTC Campaigns and Policy Director Roger Geffen said: "The Mintel report backs up CTC's view that cycle use in Britain is set to continue growing. Nationally it rose by 20% during the past decade, but so far London has led the way, having nearly trebled since 2000. More recently though, we have started to see strong growth in cities as diverse as Bristol, Sheffield, Cambridge, Leicester and Leeds."
Roger added: "What's more, there is good evidence that cyclists gain from 'safety in numbers' – it gets safer the more cyclists there are. The Government now needs to seize this opportunity, and ensure that main roads and junctions are designed to be cycle-friendly. Cycling needs to be promoted as a safe and normal activity for people of all ages and backgrounds, in order to maximise its benefits for our health, our environment and our wallets."
The market
According to the Mintel report, the bicycle market had a difficult year in 2011 when sales fell 7% (almost £50 million) from £698 million in 2010 to £650 million in 2011. However, things are looking good for the bicycle industry. While volume sales of bicycles declined by 15% between 2006 and 2011, in value terms, the market saw strong growth of nearly a fifth (19%) reflecting a shift towards cycling as a leisure and lifestyle choice rather than buying a bicycle purely on price alone. Over the past five years, the retail price paid for bikes has increased by more than 40%.
Michael Oliver, Senior Leisure Analyst at Mintel, said: "Although the UK market for bicycles contracted slightly in both value and volume terms in 2011, the longer-term prospects for the industry are very positive.
"An unusual combination of circumstances led to oversupply in 2011, which resulted in discounting, impacted on both turnover and profitability. With obesity rates rising among both adults and children, there is clearly a political and financial imperative to encouraging greater physical activity and cycling is a relatively inexpensive way of doing this.
"Role models in the Olympics means there is now an almost unrivalled opportunity to try to stimulate cycling participation but it needs some central funding and co-ordination."
Cycling levels
Mintel interviewed 2000 people and over a third (34%) of them said they cycled. The 'hardcore' cyclists – those who ride about once a week or more often – account for around half of all cyclists (16% of UK adults), with 6% of Brits taking to their two wheels most days.
However, some 5% of the country (around two million people) admit to not being able to cycle, while a further 1% of Brits say they can't cycle but intend to learn to do so in the future.
Gender imbalance
Men in Britain are considerably more likely to take to the road by bike than women, with over four in ten men (41%) admitting to being a current cyclist versus just a quarter (26%) of women. Meanwhile, twice as many men (8%) than women (4%) claim to cycle most days.
60% of those surveyed agree cycling is a good way of helping reduce road congestion. However, around half (53%) agree not enough is done about cyclists who break the rules of the road and a further 49% say it is too dangerous to ride a bicycle on the road.
Call for more cycle lanes
Over four in ten (41%) say that having more dedicated bicycle lanes or routes would encourage them to cycle more often.
Just a third (31%) of the cyclists interviewed by Mintel owns a helmet and only around two thirds (19%) wear it regularly.
For a fifth of the nation, a helmet is a big deterrent - 21% admit they would be put off cycling if they were required to wear a helmet by law.
Male cyclists (23%) are notably more likely than female cyclists (15%) to wear their helmets regularly.
Bike hire
2% of those surveyed have used a self-service hire scheme, but as many as one in ten (9%) say they would be interested in using one in the future.
The report concludes that there is considerable interest in using a self-serve bicycle hire scheme, indicating that there would be demand for additional schemes to the one currently running in London.

Here's my essay on Edward L. Cahn's When The Clock Strikes, from Steve Eifert's web site, Noir of the Week.
A brief excerpt:
"When the Clock Strikes opens on a stretch of desolate, rainswept road, as Sam Morgan (James Brown, a regular in many Cahn films) disconsolately drives to the state prison, where the hangman will execute Frank Pierce, whom Sam has identified as a murderer, at midnight. The storm knocks a tree down across the road, and Morgan can't go on; neither can passing stranger Ellie (Merry Anders, another member of the Cahn "stock company"), whose car has broken down in the torrential downpour. Sam gives Ellie a ride to Cady's Lodge, perhaps the most uninviting guesthouse imaginable. Cady, the proprietor (Henry Corden) takes obvious, morbid delight in the plight of the bedraggled pair, and informs Sam and Ellie that whenever there's a hanging at the prison, which is located only a mile or so away, all the "specs" (as he calls them), or "spectators," gather at the lodge to watch the clock mounted on the wall by the fireplace, which predicts with split-second accuracy the hour of every prisoner's execution — which is always at midnight.
With his ghoulish, obsequious manner, Cady is the last person anyone would want to have baiting them with lurid descriptions of a prisoner's final death agonies, but since Sam and Ellie are stuck there, they have to endure Cady's repellent presence. Sam grows more and more uneasy by the minute, and tells Ellie and Cady he's tormented by the thought that he might have fingered the wrong man. The warden of the prison (played by Francis De Sales) stops by on his way to the prison to witness the execution, but tells Sam there's nothing anyone can do about it at this late date — Frank Pierce will die at midnight, and nothing can stop the execution."

D.A. Kamala Harris
The candidate, Kamala Harris
Sentinel News Service
San Francisco District Attorney Kamala D. Harris is a candidate California Attorney General. When DA Harris won election as San Francisco's District Attorney in 2003, she became the first African American female to ever hold the post of District Attorney in the history of California. If elected to the office of California Attorney General, Kamala would become the first woman and the first African American in California to hold the post. The last time an African American was elected to a statewide office was 31 years ago.
For a young woman born to two parents active in civil rights in Berkeley during the 1960s, Kamala grew up amidst the chanting and singing of the Civil Rights movement. The selection of a career as a prosecutor may have seemed curious to her family at the time, but following the footsteps of the great lawyers of the civil rights era, she found her voice in the courtroom.
From the public schools of the East Bay, Kamala moved to Washington, D.C. to attend college at Howard University, the nation's oldest historically black university, and then back to San Francisco to attend Hastings College of the Law. Her first job was as a prosecutor in the Alameda County D.A.'s office–the same office in which Earl Warren served prior to becoming Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
In 1998, she moved to the San Francisco District Attorney's office where she prosecuted career criminals before being recruited to lead the San Francisco City Attorney's Community and Neighborhood Division. After a long race for District Attorney, where she started at six percent in the polls, Kamala unseated a two-term incumbent in November 2003.
From the day she took office as District Attorney, Kamala Harris had a new vision for law enforcement. Rejecting the false choice that we must choose between being "tough on crime," or "soft on crime," Kamala aimed to make San Francisco "Smart on Crime." That means ensuring consequences for those who commit crime in our communities, and she has done that–felony conviction rates are at the highest level in fifteen years. In addition, she has created new prosecution units focused on child assault, public integrity and environmental crimes.
But Kamala's approach is also about being innovative in finding ways to keep the city safe–both stopping the cycle of crimes and preventing crime before it occurs. As she enters her seventh year as San Francisco's District Attorney, the "Smart on Crime" approach Kamala has pioneered continues to serve as a model for the nation to reform our criminal justice system.
For example, California has one of the highest rates of recidivism in the entire country. California releases 120,000 inmates a year–seventy percent of them return to prison within three years. In response, Kamala launched an early intervention program called Back on Track. Kamala's Back on Track initiative has achieved nationwide recognition for its successes in taking first-time, low-level, nonviolent drug offenders off the streets, giving them an education, job training and other important life skills, and re-entering them back into productive society. The program is paying off–the recidivism rate for the participants of Back of Track has been reduced from 54 percent to less than ten percent.
And her fight against school truancy provides hope to children who too often feel that our educational system does not care about them. These are a few models of successes that Kamala Harris hopes to bring to the state of California as Attorney General.
As Attorney General, Kamala will bring her innovative approach to address the state's criminal justice problems and continue to use her twenty years of prosecutorial experience to take on the perpetrators of financial crimes, mortgage fraud, identity theft and elder abuse.
Kamala has been endorsed by California's elected, law enforcement and community leaders, including United States Senator Dianne Feinstein, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Congresswoman Diane Watson, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Congressman, Lt. Gov., Senator and Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally (Ret.), Former San Francisco Mayor and Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, Ambassador and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, California President of the California NAACP Alice Huffman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, California Legislative Black Caucus, Senator Curren Price (D-Los Angeles), Senator Kevin Murray (Ret.), Assemblyman Sandré Swanson (D-Oakland), Assemblyman Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), Assemblyman Mike Davis (D-Los Angeles), Assemblyman Isadore Hall (D-Compton), Assemblywoman Gwen Moore (Ret.), Los Angeles Chief of Police William Bratton (Ret.), San Diego Chief of Police William Lansdowne, San Francisco Police Chief George Gascón. She has also been endorsed by every major California newspaper endorsing in the race.

HOUSTON - A police officer has been accused of offering to drop traffic tickets in exchange for sex.
Victor Chris, 37, has been charged with two counts of official oppression.
Houston police said two women told them that Chris had made inappropriate offers to get rid of tickets he issued against them.
One of the women said Chris stopped her in west Houston on May 14. The woman said Chris went back to his car and wrote several tickets. When he came back to her car, Chris told the woman that he had not "been with a white girl in a long time," and asked her if she was interested in seeing him later, according to court documents.
The woman left and got a call from a blocked number about five minutes later. According to court documents, Chris told her that he wouldn't show up to court for the tickets if she agreed to meet with him later. The woman believed Chris was requesting sex, investigators said.
A second woman said Chris stopped her on Feb. 18. After she received tickets, she said Chris gave her his phone number and told her to call him the next day, detectives said. According to court documents, Chris called the woman and told her that he would tear up the tickets if she had sex with him, according to court documents.
The women complained and police set up an undercover sting using a female officer. He took the bait on Monday, investigators said.
Prosecutors said they suspect other women may have been propositioned.
"We expect other women have had this treatment as well ... they may, too, have come into contact with Victor Chris. He may have treated them the same way. If that's the case, we ask that you contact the internal affairs division," Assistant District Attorney Erin Epley said.
Chris has posted bond and been released from jail. He has been relieved of duty with pay until the cases are resolved.

I think we've all seen that Nellie plans to play the small front line of Dunleavy/Murphy, and he did in fact start Murphy at the C during the preseason.
Troy Murphy will move to centre in Don Nelson's running offence
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Troy Murphy figures he's a perfect fit to shift to centre in new coach Don Nelson's up-tempo offence. Adonal Foyle is determined to drop a few pounds and prove he deserves ample playing time, too.
The six-foot-11 Murphy will move from power forward to the middle for the Golden State Warriors this season, and Nelson plans to use Foyle - who two years ago signed a cushy new six-year deal worth nearly US$42 million - more on a by-need, matchup basis.
Nelson is already doing many things differently from what his players have been used to as he begins his second stint coaching the Warriors. They have missed the playoffs in 12 straight seasons since Nellie last took this team to the post-season in 1994 during his initial tenure in Oakland.
Nelson, hired in a surprise move Aug. 30 to replace Mike Montgomery, is known for using four-guard lineups with an undersized centre.
"That's great. I'm looking forward to it," Murphy said. "I've seen the way he uses big guys who can shoot. I'm excited to play for him. Playing against centres and more physical guys, that means centres also will be covering me, which is what we're looking for. I don't think there are any centres who can cover me. I'll have to do my best on defence. I think it's going to be really good."
Murphy has averaged a double-double in scoring and rebounding in three of his previous four seasons and ranked sixth in the league at 10 rebounds per game last season. He scored 14 points per game and made 78.7 per cent of his free throws, a statistic that goes a long way with Nelson considering the coach knows how many close games Golden State lost at the line in the recent past.
"He's already shown me what I wanted to see - him buying into playing centre," Nelson said of Murphy. "If he's able to play some Five, it would really help in my scheme of things."
Nelson has made it clear he expects more than just Murphy to carry the rebounding load, calling for every player to improve his game and make adjustments to a new style of play.
He wants these men thin, and asked players to show up for training camp five pounds lighter.
"To run, everybody has to be in great shape," Murphy said. "You want to be in shape and you want to be lean and skinny. I'm sure as the season progresses and training camp progresses there will be adjustments I have to make."
Nelson is even demanding better free-throw shooting from stars Baron Davis and Jason Richardson if they want to be on the floor in crunch time - and hasn't hidden the fact he wants Davis to lose a few pounds from his 6-3 frame.
Foyle, beginning his 10th NBA season after the Warriors selected him with the eighth overall pick in the 1997 draft, averaged 4.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in 77 games last season and doesn't plan to sit on the bench without first doing his best to change Nelson's mind.
"Adonal is a wonderful person," Nelson said. "Certain nights he will play against the bigger centres and certain nights he won't play as much."
For Foyle, already hearing that Nelson expects him to assume a lesser role is disappointing. But the 6-10 centre is down to 268 pounds from his playing weight of 277 last year and would like to be around 260 when the season tips off.
"What are you going to do? Part of the deal is you go along with the philosophy and you try to force the matter a little bit in terms of your play and make yourself more open to playing different positions and doing different things," Foyle said. "My job is to get into the best shape I can possibly get in and to be ready to show all the different dimensions of my game so he can see the cost of not playing me."

Hotel Code of Conduct
Anime Boston attendees and staff must take the issue of security very seriously to ensure a safe, successful convention. Two of the primary security concerns are providing attendee safety, and protecting hotel property; therefore, Anime Boston staff and the convention hotels have established the following guidelines for conduct:
- If an attendee is responsible for any malicious damage to hotel property or endangers his/her own safety or the safety of any other person at the hotel, the attendee, and potentially any associated hotel roommates, will immediately be expelled from the hotel and Anime Boston. Each attendee will be held legally and financially responsible for any damage to his or her hotel room. The hotel management may choose to prosecute individuals who damage property in any way.
- Theft of hotel, attendee, or other hotel guest property is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
- Noise level must be kept to a minimum at all times, and attendees must not disturb other hotel guests. Hotel policies state that persons causing excessive noise or disturbing other guests will be asked to leave the hotel. The hotel will employ a three strikes policy. Each hotel room will receive two warnings. Upon the third complaint, the hotel reserves the right to eject the person(s) causing excessive noise and Anime Boston will confiscate convention badges and these persons will not be permitted to register for future Anime Boston events.
The above rules supplement those dictated by United States Code, laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and laws and ordinances of the City of Boston, hotel policy, and Anime Boston's group policy. Violation of any of the above rules will result in the expulsion of the attendee(s) that violate these rules. Anime Boston attendees are responsible for their actions. The Sheraton has authorized Anime Boston security to exercise appropriate supervision of attendees. Anime Boston security staff will only enter into attendees' rooms when hotel approved security requests their assistance through a member of the Anime Boston Executive Staff, the Facilities Liaison, Anime Boston Security Managers, or Assistant Security Managers. Anime Boston security staff are not authorized, permitted, or trained to touch or physically search attendees.

Moms Need Caffeine to Get Them Through the Day
Babysugar Diaries: Caffeine Is My Drug of Choice
Every day around 2 p.m., I feel a desperate need to drink a Coca–Cola. I don't crave the taste as much as I desire the boost in energy it will provide. Even 20 months after giving birth to my first child, my body does not jump out of bed at 6 a.m. ready to take on the day. When reading a book to her before nap time, I often find that I am the one nodding off. This is not uncommon for moms.
The National Sleep Foundation found that more moms are caffeinating themselves to make it through the day. Energy drinks, sodas and coffee are all part of a busy mama's day as she carpools, cooks, cleans and takes care of other duties.
To see what the National Sleep Foundation discovered,
The NSF study found:
More than 65 percent of moms drink caffeinated beverages to get through their day.
Fast food stores like McDonald's are taking advantage of the caffeine hungry audience. The golden arches beat analysts' estimates by increasing latest quarterly profits, which are partially attributed to the rise in coffee sales. Looks like mommies may be loading up on their lattes when ordering a happy meal for junior. When baby number two joins my family, I have a feeling I'll be upping my caffeine intake, too!

Washington, D.C. -- Nearly three-quarters (73.3%) of consumers say their spending plans are taking a hit due to the recent payroll tax changes, according to NRF's 2013 Tax Returns Survey conducted by BIGinsight.
When asked how the new federal tax laws have affected spending, saving or budgeting of their households, nearly six in 10 (58.2%) of those polled say their plans have been either somewhat or greatly impacted. Specifically, nearly half (45.7%) say they will spend less overall, and 35.6% will watch for sales more often.
Additionally, one-third (33.5%) will reduce how much they dine out and 24.5% will spend less on "little luxuries," such as trips to coffee shops, manicures and high-end cosmetic items.
Of those greatly impacted, nearly half (49.2%) will delay major purchases, such as a car, TV or furniture, and 58.2% will reduce the amount they dine away from home; another 43.4% say they will contribute less to savings, 46.4% will comparison shop more often, and 54.4% will spend less on clothing.
The survey found that half (50.0%) of those who make less than $50,000 a year say they will spend less overall. Additionally, 23.2% will spend less on groceries, compared to 16.7% of consumers who make more than $50,000 a year, and 27.6% will shop at discount stores more often, compared to 19.7% of adults making more than $50,000.

For this years' Super Bowl, consider trying this recipe from meat guru Bruce Aidells, author of last year's "The Great Meat Cookbook," for Mexican beef brisket and winter squash chili. It takes a cut usually known for pot-roasting or barbecue and transforms it into a meaty, chunky chili.Start to finish: 3 hours 15 minutes
Servings: 12
6 dried ancho chilies
2 cups boiling water
6 ounces bacon, diced
4 cups chopped yellow onions
5 pounds first-cut beef brisket, cut into 3-inch chunks
Salt and ground black pepper
2 jalapeno chilies, stemmed, seeded and chopped (optional)
6 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons chili powder
14 1/2 -ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes with green chilies
12-ounce bottle Mexican beer, plus more if needed
1 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves separated
7-ounce can diced fire-roasted green chilies
3 cups 2-inch chunks peeled and seed butternut or banana squash
Finely chopped red onions (to garnish)
Peeled, seeded, and sliced avocado (to garnish)
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese (to garnish)
Warm corn or flour tortillas
Tear apart the dried ancho chilies, then discard the seeds and stems. Place the torn chilies in a small bowl. Pour the boiling water over them, then soak until soft, at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.
When ready to proceed, heat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, saute the bacon until it begins to brown. Add the onions and cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
Season the beef with salt and pepper. Remove the pot with the onions and bacon from the heat and stir in the beef.
Place the soaked chilies and about 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid in a blender (save the remaining liquid to add to the pot later, if needed). Add the jalapenos (if using), garlic, cumin seeds, oregano, coriander, chili powder, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Blend to form a puree, then add to the pot along with the diced tomatoes, beer, cilantro stems and green chilies.
Stir well, cover, place in the oven, and bake for 2 hours. If the chili becomes too dry during cooking, add some of the reserved chili-soaking liquid or more beer. The meat is done when it is fork tender. If the meat is not yet fork tender, return the covered pot to the oven and check it every 20 to 30 minutes. Once the meat is tender, stir in the squash and bake for 20 minutes more, or until the squash is tender.
Remove the pot from the oven. Use a spoon to skim off any fat on the surface of the chili. Season with salt and pepper. Divide between serving bowls with the cilantro leaves, red onions, avocado, cheese and tortillas on the side.

During our visit to Japan, we stopped by Y Tech to visit our friends from One Forty Rollerz Car Club in Fukaya, Japan. Y Tech is a shop in Japan that specializes in hydraulic installations and also performs many auto body and paint duties as well. Yosuke Fukuda, the C.E.O. of Y Tech, generously opened up the doors to his shop to us for a few days. It was there that my vision of the Japanese Lowrider community was altered forever. With the Japanese Super Show only a week away, our friends at Y Tech were pulling all nighters to get theirs and their customers' cars ready for the big show. My previous vision of the Lowrider community in Japan was that they only knew how to buy cars from the states, but after seeing them work all night performing their own hydraulic installation, body work, paint work, and everything else you can think of, it is very clear that the Japanese are self-sufficient in working on their own vehicles. The respect between their culture and ours is very mutual, and it was very exciting to see how our U.S. Lowrider influence was not only felt, but upheld in the work that I saw being performed at Y-Tech. I want to thank Yosuke Fukuda, Koji Fukushima, Yuzo Nakamura, Kaoru, DJ Kali, Co-Pon and the rest of the One Forty Rollerz and Y Tech staff, for welcoming us into their shop and for upholding the Lowrider tradition of generations past and present.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.
