Does Taylor Swift have a new leading man?
The "Red" singer was spotted getting cozy with "Romeo and Juliet" actor Douglas Booth at a pub in London recently.
"They hired the back room and were in there alone," a source tells People of the duo's night out at the Holly Bush on Friday. "They looked very happy [and] were just smiling and laughing just like any other customers."
This isn't the first time Swift, 23, and Booth, 21, have appeared flirty.
In September, Taylor went to the Los Angeles premiere of "Romeo and Juliet" with her BFF and star of the flick, Hailee Steinfeld. Onlookers at the film's afterparty tell omg! that there appeared to be "definite chemistry" between Taylor and the British actor, who spent a lot of the night chatting together within their group of friends.
While it remains to be seen whether Douglas and Taylor's friendship evolves into something romantic, relationships have certainly been on the country singer's mind — or rather, her Instagram — lately.
On Wednesday, Swift shared a few quotes from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "This Side of Paradise."
"I'm a slave to my emotions, to my likes, to my hatred of boredom, to most of my desires….," read one photo. In the second, Taylor shared a picture of her journal with the following passage:
Another sign that Douglas could be in the "more than friends" category? Taylor does have a habit of getting into high-profile relationships around the holidays.
In November 2010, Swift had a brief, but apparently intense, two-month courtship with Jake Gyllenhaal, and last year the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer dated Harry Styles.
While Taylor clearly respects Jake (now), the latter relationship did not end well. That's why it came as a shock this week when E! News reported that Swift was house hunting in London near her 19-year-old ex-boyfriend.
"[Taylor] is looking at properties in London, but it has nothing to do with Harry," a source close to the singer tells omg!, adding that she looked at a few places.
Oh, and since we're on the topic of Harry, the same source insists that reports of Swift and Styles getting back together are also false.
Regardless, it sounds like Taylor has a thing for British accents. Can you blame her?

FedEx: Down Today, $170 Tomorrow
FedEx (FDX) has had a great run since its last earnings report nearly three months ago. It's getting no love today, however.
The express-delivery company has gained 28% during the past three months, trumping the 18% return from United Parcel Service (UPS), the 4.6% gain in J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) and the 0.2% rise in Expeditors International of Washington (EXPD).
And there's no reason FedEX can't keep on keeping on, says Citigroup's Christian Wetherbee and Seth Lowry. They write:
[We] believe further upside remains, as the current investor base appears to be playing for a meaningful improvement in profitability, led by cost efforts underway at the company's Express segment. Sentiment is firming around FedEx's ability to produce profit improvement and coupled with accretion from the buyback and help from improving volumes, $10 of earnings power should enter the discussion for F15. Using its historical multiple of ~17x, we believe the upside case for FedEx shares is $170. As such, we are increasing our target to $170 and reiterate our Buy.
FedEx's shares have dropped 1% to $138.26 today at 2:35 p.m., which means that the stock could have another 23% to go.

Paint him black and cut a hole for his eyes and you would have a decent start on Ninjor.
MOTU 30th aniversary deserves better figures than this extravaganza devoted to Toyguru's nostagia. Sorry Scott, I understand you want to leave your imprint on MOTUC...and your face on a figure is a funny nod and homage to your great work... but making a second Spector character as a way to celebrate 30 years of MOTU is a little off limits IMHO

Jeez...copycat much?
And the design sucks. This is about as much MOTU as the Hulk holding a Power Sword.

The 30th anniversary figures should be about producing characters for the joy of the fans. This figure seems like it is being made solely for the personal gratification of its creator. It was a poor decision to produce this figure. If the backlash wasn't anticipated, it highlights just how out of touch someone is with the line's fanbase.
I still can't believe it ... he's worse than Photog
anyway this abomination makes it very easy for me to skip on the 30th anniversary add-on
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
I wonder how you haters feel if you won the create a character contest and the majority hates it..give Toyguru a break he deserves it.These are also bonus figures and not a part of the sub
It is a very Marvel-esque looking figure, I'm not too big on this one. Sorry Scott. Don't want to sound irrational but I'm reconsidering a 30th sub...this guy isn't the lynch pin, but he made me realize, the horsemen aren't designing the rest they are making them based on the designs of others, and maybe I won't like what others have to offer, I don't like photog though I think the horsemen made him work, I don't like this mighty spector, very plain imo. so it's making me wonder will i like anyone other than drago man?

I think Mattel probably revealed the BEST character of the 6 30th anniversary figures during SDCC : Draego-Man. Personally, I don't see how they could possibly top that 4 Horsemen designed figure...
I would probably have greeted this figure (Mighty Spector) better if it hadn't reused parts so heavily.
As it is, I feel like TG is trying to sell a cheap repaint that he claims is "his original idea from his childhood".
The lure to sell this figure, of course, is to make it an important character in the bio (master of time travel and even, if what some fans noticed is true, the son of Skeletor)...
Oh, and by the way, I think Mattel should let the 4 Horsemen design new ideas, new characters and figures. We may take risks with other persons, but when things come from Mattel inhouse, we usually end up pretty disappointed (that reminds me some of the worst 200x vehicles which, "coincidentally", had been designed by Mattel inhouse too)...

so while it's unfair to bash scott personally, if people dislike the figure they should be allowed to (fairly) state why.

Is a fact that Toyguru has a business talent, brand manager talent, he´s doing an amazing job with this line and making a lot of us happy.
However his artistic and creative skills have proven more that once to be not so good to say the least. He should know when to step aside and let the pros do their job.
But that´s just my opinion, I love this line keep it up!
I have nothing against that he create a character for himself and the 4 HM built it for him.
But he wants us to pay for it with our money and that is where it ends for me...
I have to agree that this design is not worthy for the 30th anniversary of this great brand...
yep...that is a bad toy and 20 bucks i will never get back...sigh
Find what you seek only when you look in the right places...
What an utterly terrible figure.
I love how something this awful can get made, but Illumina can't be cause no one knows of her.
Total crap from TG and Mattel on this one. I don't care if Spector is a 30th figure or not. Then make Illumina a 30th as well. I can guarantee you just about 100% more people will be excited about her than they would be for Spector. (clearly the lack noise in the room has already confirmed this, though I'm sure there will be revisionist remarks made how the people on the floor of the con raved about it all weekend and that the silence didn't happen at the panel)
Such a joke.
If I wanted a DCUC character I'd go collect that line.
I hope Marvel files for copyright infringement on this unholy creation.

Berserker79, you just summarized precisely what I'm thinking.
I agree wholeheartedly, Soulfly. I'd buy Illumina for sure ! But I won't buy Mighty Spector. His totally different, anti-MOTU look, and the fact that he reuses parts so heavily, is not worth the money I'd have to spend to get him. Let's be clear and honest, here : it's not really Toyguru's concept that I criticize : it is what seems to be a ripoff under a thin "30th anniversary" disguise.I love how something this awful can get made, but Illumina can't be cause no one knows of her.

They will probably be packaging Draego-Man's missing shield and whip with this awful figure to ensure some of us actually buy it...
"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."
Very bland figure. The only thing that looks interesting to me is the cosmic key wrist thingy - and it looks totally out of place when compared to the rest of the figure.
For those bashing this figure you are all more than welcome to submit your own create a character figure for the contest to put your design where your mouth is.
You could also put yourself through school and work your way up at Mattel to make one of your childhood dreams come true.
My own personal opinion, but a lot of people here are simply too hard on Scott. He obviously wants to please as many fans as best he can, but he continually gets bashed.
I for one am proud of a guy who grew up with similar interests to main and was able to make a career of it, and earned the ability to create a permanent token of that journey and success.
What next? It seems every month lately there is something..
While I do agree that Mighty Spector looks more like a DC Classics figure than a MOTUC figure, he is still not a bad figure. I mean that´s the great thing about MOTU, it´s a mixture of ALL genres. Seems like we have at least one representitive of each genre, but one we haven´t had until now is a superhero looking character. Plus I think a lot of people are trying to compare him to the vintage type characters, which would explain why he looks a lot more out of place. I think he might actually not look too bad mixed in with the NA characters, especially since he is a time traveller from the future. He may be a good character to help bridge the two eras together.
Also I for one am happy that Toyguru got to make his childhood creation a reality. For all he has done for the line, and for his dedication as both a brand manager and a fan, he deserves it. Like the figure or not, if any of us ever had the same chance, I think most of us would do the same thing. Plus since he designed it as a kid, I think that´s a lot of the reason it looks so superhero-y. Im sure it was the comicbook influence that a lot of us were getting at that age. As for the similar name to Lt Spector, I could be misremembering but Im pretty sure when the Palace Guards came out and Lt Spector was revealled, we were told that they named him in honor of Scott´s Create A Character entry from when he was a kid. Since this is that same entry, that explains the similar name.

Bill McKibben: Global Warming's Dystopian Future
Having just come out of one of the hottest summers on record, wrought with droughts and wildfires, it's a wonder that "climate change" doesn't seem to exist in either of our 2012 presidential candidates' vocabularies. Author and activist Bill McKibben notes that we can't stop global warming, as the earth's temperature has already risen, but "we can keep it from getting worse."

- why the current market is not that bad; and
- the bull and bear cases for Facebook.
The Market's Not that Nasty Posted at 7:01 p.m. EST on Thursday, Jan. 31 All day today I wanted to be bearish. I read Doug's columns and I found them very persuasive. Plus, I can't say I am crazy about a setup based on various short squeezes all over the place like the ones in the cloud and the ones in semiconductors, although they sure passed by Broadcom ( BRCM). But I keep coming back to how broad-based this whole rally is. I keep thinking, like my friend and colleague at TheStreet Matt Horween, that we may be just forming a gigantic, well-rounded base. As he just pointed out to me, we have not really surged if you look at a long-term monthly chart. Plus it is not like we are seeing froth all over the place. They aren't running up bogus biotech or small-cap semiconductors or device stocks that don't make sense. Instead these are mostly backing-and-filling advances with pockets of selling that are quickly met with buyers, although usually not as fast as Facebook ( FB) was today. To me the buy-on-a-pullback view is something that people espouse, but don't really do. I heard lots of people talking about buying Facebook and Blackberry (still Research In Motion ( RIMM) at the moment) on pullbacks, but when they get them they want more of a pullback. You just aren't getting that "more of a pullback" that would make it so easy to join the advance. To me, the best way to look at this market is with the stocks of the companies I had on "Mad Money." We got a sell on KeyCorp ( KEY) from Bernstein today and the stock barely got hit and then came back and next thing you know I am listening to the CEO and I am thinking "How could a guy put a sell on a stock this cheap?"

- To promote patient's safety by means of quality assurance and a reduction of nosocomial infections.
- To describe objective outcome variables related to the documented NI events (mortality, duration of hospitalization, need for intensive care, need for surgical interventions)
- To intensify the practical collaboration of the health care team with infection control personnel and infectious disease specialists in this clinical context.
- To describe the distribution of bacterial pathogens of blood stream infections and to determine the sensitivity (minimal inhibitory concentration) of bacterial pathogens detected in blood cultures to first and second line antimicrobial agents in this high risk population with a standardized method (central reference laboratory).
- To detect bacterial isolates with emerging types of antimicrobial resistance.
- To describe the therapeutic use of antibacterial and antifungal agents in pediatric cancer patients related to nosocomial infections.
- To describe the incidence and incidence density of invasive Aspergillosis in pediatric cancer patients.
- To describe the clinical impact of common and emerging viral respiratory pathogens (RSV, Influenza, hMPV, hCoV, hBoV) in pediatric cancer patients with nosocomial lower respiratory tract infection (central reference laboratory for emerging viral pathogens).

Cuddyer not worried by low spring batting average
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Maybe Rockies outfielder-first baseman Michael Cuddyer is saving his good fortune for the regular season.
Cuddyer, who hit .331 last season to win the National League batting title, went 0-for-3 Sunday against the Dodgers to drop his Cactus League batting average to .154 (5-for-26).
"Health is No. 1, and I want to feel good -- my legs feel good around the bases and stuff," Cuddyer said. "The least of my worries is how I feel at the plate and all that stuff. After another 500 or so at-bats, that stuff will work itself out.
"You still pay attention [to the stats]. You're still a competitor. You want to go out there and have some results. But I'd say it was about six or seven years ago that I focused on the feel rather than the results. Once you've had a couple good years under your belt, you realize you're not going to [lose it]. I've been hitting the ball well but zero results in my last 10 at-bats."
Cuddyer normally turns hot at some point before the regular season begins. He has a .327 career spring average.

BOLTON is gearing up for Sport Relief.
The bi-annual charity event, which brings together sport and entertainment to support people in need across the world, officially starts today and runs until Sunday.
Among those to have supported Sport Relief are white goods supplier ao.com.
Five employees from the company's Bolton base are taking part in a 50-mile cycle ride to Old Trafford and back on Sunday for the event.
One of the riders, Janina Rustige, said: "I'm really excited to be taking part in the Sport Relief 50 mile cycle as it's a great opportunity to raise money which will help change lives here in Bolton, across the UK and around the world.
"If there's anyone who is considering taking part in the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Cycle, I'd urge them to sign up now because if we can do it anyone can.
"You don't even have to do 50 miles like us, there is a 25-mile option or you can just cycle three miles with your family."
Today, 120 staff at ao.com will also volunteer as Sports Relief call centre staff, receiving calls from people pledging money to the cause.
The team will also be getting involved with the company's dress down week, playing games and selling wristbands.
Also getting sporty is the Bolton One Leisure Centre in Bolton, which is hosting the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Swimathon from today until Sunday, 10am to 1pm.
Bolton FM presenters are taking part in their own mental marathon, with the station's presenters Ross Elliot and John Entwistle putting on a 12-hour, non-stop radio show.
They will take to the air from 7am until 7pm and are asking all sports clubs and schools in Bolton to get involved.
Showing off their sporting prowess will be staff and pupils at Birtenshaw School, who have put on a waterpolo tournament and an adventure trail today.
On Wednesday, they also played football to raise funds for Sports Relief.
Emily Haddock, deputy headteacher at the school, said: "I think our children have really appreciated helping other people who are in need of support.
They have really enjoyed taking part in these activities."
A number of other schools will put on fundraising events today, including Mytham Primary School in Mytham Road, Little Lever, Firwood High School in Stitch-Mi-Lane, Harwood, and St Paul's CE Primary School in Newnham Street, Astley Bridge.

Editor's note: Every NFL team is preparing to attack its offseason to-do list, with free agency set to open March 12 and the draft April 25-27. This is the 13th of 32 reports in 32 days by Sporting News NFL correspondents, who will analyze the offseason game plan for each team. Wednesday: Cincinnati Bengals.
One day after the Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, general manager Ozzie Newsome was back at work.
"I'm working hard to get back to New York next year to defend the title," said Newsome, refuting all speculation about his retirement.
Even though the odds are against them as far as repeating, the Ravens still think they have the right pieces in place to make another great run.
Last season, they completed the transition from a defensive team to one that's offensive oriented. Most of those players are coming back including Ray Rice, Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones, guards Marshal Yanda, K.O. Osemele and tackle Michael Oher.
Joe Flacco is an unrestricted free agent, but the Ravens won't allow him to leave. They'll slap the franchise tag him on him for at least another season.
The Ravens have some needs on defense, but they still have enough talent to get by again. If Flacco signs early, the Ravens could make some big splashes in free agency.
Ray Lewis said goodbye after 17 years in the NFL, but the Ravens have adequate replacements in both Jameel McClain and Dannell Ellerbe, even though Ellerbe in an unrestricted free agent. The Ravens will make every attempt to re-sign him because he was the best linebacker on the roster last season.
Cornerback Cary Williams is big, strong and can run with any receiver, but the Ravens have some young talent behind him like Jimmy Smith, Chykie Brown and Corey Graham, who can play just as well for less money.
After four seasons, end/outside linebacker Paul Kruger finally developed into a strong pass rusher, but he'll command too much money for the Ravens to counter offer, especially for a part-time player.
The Ravens would like for second-year player Courtney Upshaw to take over for Kruger, but he might be a year away.
1. Defensive tackle. Injuries are starting to mount for Haloti Ngata, who completed his seventh season. The drop off in performance was clearly noticeable.
The Ravens were hoping that third-year player Terrence Cody would help Ngata inside, but instead Cody has been a big disappointment. Ma'ake Kemoeatu is basically a part-time player.
They have Arthur Jones and Pernell McPhee who can play inside part time, but they are smallish and more suitable for ends than the tackle positions.
So far, the Ravens like Georgia's John Jenkins or Alabama's Jesse Williams as possible picks high in the draft.
2. Outside linebacker. Terrell Suggs is back for another season, but he showed signs of breaking down last year with leg and arm injuries.
With him slowing down and Kruger gone, the Ravens don't have another legitimate pass rusher. Upshaw might fill that role in the future, but the Ravens need that type of player now.
The Ravens love to blitz, but not to the point where that is the only way they can manufacture pressure. Keep an eye on Georgia's Alec Ogletree or Kansas State's Arthur Brown.
3. Inside linebacker. Lewis didn't give the Ravens much as a stopper inside during the past three seasons. His leadership will be missed though.
The question about Ellerbe are the injuries that have bothered him throughout his career including last year.
McClain is tough and can make plays tackle to tackle. There is still concern about when he will return after suffering serious back and leg injuries last season.
The Ravens need a physical presence both at the line of scrimmage and in the second level.
4. Left tackle. Bryant McKinnie started at that spot the last four games and was a major reason why they went to the Super Bowl.
But the Ravens are afraid of McKinnie because he of weight problems and poor practices habits. If there are stipulations in a new contract loaded with incentives, McKinnie might return because he wants to stay in Baltimore. Regardless, the Ravens have to find a player who can step in if McKinnie moves on.
Salary cap concerns limit free agent options, but the Ravens could land Alabama's D.J. Fluker, Florida State's Menelik Watson or Oregon's Kyle Long in the second or third rounds.
5. Center. The Ravens have the ageless Matt Birk, but they have to find an eventual replacement. There are concerns about second-year player Gino Gradkowski's size. They'll find another center in the late rounds of the draft.
The Ravens' offseason hinges on getting Flacco signed to a new contract. If he agrees early, the Ravens could be active in the free agent market and pick up a quality veteran or two. If not, they can't afford to sign any big names and will have to fill needs through the draft. Regardless, the Ravens are in good shape to compete for the Lombardi Trophy again.
Through the years, Newsome has stacked enough depth to make this team competitive every season including last year when few picked the Ravens to win the Super Bowl.
Mike Preston covers the Ravens for Sporting News and the Baltimore Sun.

FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. - A family argument Tuesday morning that started out between twin brothers, one armed with a frying pan, wound up with one brother being arrested on a charge of domestic violence assault, while their mother was arrested on a charge of interfering with the investigation, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
Flagler County deputies responded to a Palm Coast home on Liedel Drive around 11:18 a.m. after area residents reported shots fired. Witnesses said the Goggans brothers, Franklin and Daniel, both 27, had been arguing outside on the lawn at the home.
Franklin said his brother walked out of the house and approached him with a frying pan, according to deputies. Franklin advised Daniel that he needed to "stop pulling weapons on me", according to deputies.
Franklin said as he sat in his truck, his brother climbed onto the hood and was tapping the windshield with the frying pan, according to deputies. They said Daniel got off the vehicle and retrieved a machete. They said he approached Franklin and threatened to "cut him up."
Franklin, who had gotten out of the truck, went back to the vehicle to leave, but discovered the keys were not in the ignition, deputies said. They said he then retrieved his firearm from the vehicle and pointed it in Daniel's direction, but at the ground, firing two rounds.
Franklin ordered Daniel to stay away from him and Franklin left the scene, deputies said. He later told deputies he thought he might have shot his brother in the foot, deputies said.
Deputies said Daniel appeared to have an injury to his foot, but he declined to tell deputies how it was injured.
Daniel Goggans was booked into the Flagler County Detention Facility without bail on the charge of domestic violence assault. While deputies were on the scene, the men's mother, Lajuana Goggans, 55, denied any shots were fired and interfered with the investigation, deputies said. Deputies arrested her for filing a false report to law enforcement. She was being booked into the detention facility Tuesday evening.

Corn futures seemed caught between the soybean and wheat markets to start the new week. The same South American dryness that has been boosting soybean prices seemingly supported the yellow grain as well. Conversely, ideas that snow and rain crossing the U.S. winter wheat fields today will also improve the moisture situation over the Corn Belt may have dragged corn prices lower. March corn had slipped 0.50 cent to $6.8975/bushel early Monday morning; December dipped 0.50 cent to $5.5225.
After apparently suffering from a major round of bullish profit-taking last Friday, soybean futures seem set to begin this week rather strongly. We suspect the reasons for the early rise are the same as those discussed last week, with optimism about Chinese demand and pessimism about Argentine production prospects powering the advance. However, the sharpness of the late-week reversal raises doubts about bullish ability to sustain further short-term gains. March beans rose 5.50 cents to $14.6675 in overnight trading, while March soyoil dropped 0.31 cents to 50.04 cents/pound and March meal surged $4.5 to $431.4/ton.
Wheat futures seemed to be reacting to the second winter storm to hit the Southern Plains in the past week, as well as the prospect for more precipitation in early March. As grain market observers are almost surely aware, concerns about the productive potential of the U.S. winter wheat crop has be greatly elevated due to persistent dryness over much of the Central U.S. this winter. These latest storms will very likely alleviate the situation significantly. March CBOT wheat futures sank 4.75 cents to $7.1025/bushel Sunday night, while March KCBT wheat lost 3.5 cents to $7.4625, and March MGE futures slid 0.25 cents to $8.025.
Cattle and feeder futures rallied last Friday in apparent response to news of strong Japanese buying the week prior. The monthly USDA Cattle on Feed report released after the close largely met expectations, the data may not cause a significant reaction today. On the other hand, talk of blizzard conditions hitting the Southern Plains this morning might boost cattle prices, since such icy weather can greatly diminish the performance of feedlot cattle and reduce market-ready supplies. April cattle climbed 0.40 cents to 128.40 cents/pound last Friday, while August gained 0.20 cents to 125.35. Meanwhile, March feeder cattle advanced 0.55 cents to 141.25 cents/pound, and August surged 0.80 cents to 154.27.
Hog futures fell substantially to end last week on a very poor note. The ongoing decline almost surely reflects pessimism about short-term demand strength, particularly after cash markets fell once again Friday. Moreover, the low weekly slaughter total seemingly represented reduced demand from pork packers rather than a shortage of market-ready animals. The monthly Cold Storage report released after the close may have little impact upon the mid-morning opening, since the most closely watched numbers were well anticipated. April hogs closed 0.72 cents lower, at 81.65 cents/pound late Friday afternoon, while June fell 0.75 cents to 90.95.
Cotton futures continued their late-week setback to start this week. The drop probably reflected reports of plentiful rainfall over the Southeastern U.S. over the weekend. The fact that the market seemed to respond poorly to a report stating January cotton imports into China 40% over the comparable year-ago rate seems a rather bearish development as well. March cotton skidded 0.44 cents to 80.95 cents/pound in Sunday night-Monday morning trading, while December dove 0.94 cents to 82.70.

A LITTLE older than the usual graduates but this group have made history as the first Higher Education graduands to complete degrees at the Adult and Higher Education Division of Peter Symonds College.
The 14 graduands have shown that the adage 'Lifelong Learning' can apply and can make a difference. The students, who between them achieved seven first class honours, five 2:1's and two 2:2's.
The group of 12 Bachelor of Arts and two Foundation Degree students had their degrees conferred by the college principal, Neil Hopkins, at the inaugural Graduation Ceremony held at the Hospital of St Cross.
All of the degrees conferred, both Bachelor of Arts and Foundation, were in counselling and were validated by Middlesex University.
Also graduating with Diplomas in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector (DTLLS), validated by Greenwich University, were five PGCE students; two further students received their Professional Certificate in Education (PCE).
Graduate Jonathan Trubshaw said: "I am so pleased, chuffed even, to have been part of this historical event. On behalf of the whole group I would like to thank all the course teachers and everyone at ACE who helped us to get here. We are indebted to you all."
Alexandra Day, director of Adult & Higher Education at Peter Symonds, said: "We were delighted to have been able to host a graduation ceremony for our first ever group of graduands. The ceremony at St Cross was a very special event and a wonderful way for the college and family members to acknowledge the incredible successes of these students. We are immensely proud of them all."
She added: "The development of this, our first higher education qualification, came about both as a result of a very successful Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and the concern that adult funding for it would be cut. The counselling team approached a local university about converting the diploma into a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling and after much drafting and redrafting our first home grown HE qualification was approved."

Pau Gasol has consistently Tweeted optimism about there being an NBA season despite the labor issues.
He is preparing to play alongside brother Marc for his hometown FC Barcelona Regal team now, according to Spanish sports site as.com, if the NBA season is canceled. Gasol has already spent time practicing with FC Barcelona, whom the Lakers visited last year in the NBA exhibition season. Gasol played for FC Barcelona as a 20-year-old in 2000-01 (11.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 23.8 minutes) before coming to the NBA with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Here is the translated portion of the article:
After the dissolution of the union announced at the press conference after the meeting held on Monday, Gasol said "now it seems that everything happens at the hands of state attorneys. See if you can reach an agreement. They're going to negotiate a different way. The players have been giving meeting after meeting until we have reached a point where you could not give more. What we want is to play. "
"I guess from now on things will change. This process is damaging the image of the league there. There are many details and the end is hard to understand. The players accepted the last time 50/50 with the condition that respect of other things that were important. are so many details that it is impossible to understand the situation, " said the player.
Gasol did not hesitate to recognize that in case of cancellation of the season in the NBA his preferred destination would be the Barcelona machine that he used to make the leap to the best league in the world. "If you cancel the season we would like to play here (in Barcelona). I speak for myself, but Marc would also like to play for Barcelona." Also assessed the possibility that Real Madrid tried the signing of his brother. "I can not imagine him in white, but nothing is impossible."

A BUILDING left as an eyesore after a suspected arson attack three years ago looks set to be brought back into use.
Equity House, in Equity Street, Darwen, has been sold at auction after being taken over by the council because its owner could not be traced.
Now workmen are busy gutting the inside of the derelict property in a bid to restore it.
The Lancashire Telegraph understands that once the refurbishment is completed it will be used for housing.
Sunnyhurst councillor Dave Smith was delighted work had begun. He said: "It has been a mess now for a few years. There have been some lads on the site and they are doing a really good job and working very hard.
"I will keep residents informed as things move along but there should be a planning application soon, I assume for housing."
After the fire in 2010, taxpayers had to foot the bill for making the building safe and for fencing. At that time, the owner, who was liable for the costs of making it safe, was thought to be living in America.
Blackburn with Darwen executive member for resources Coun Andy Kay said: "We welcome the sale of Equity House as it has allowed the council to recoup its incurred costs. The fire made the property unsafe and the council took measures to make the property secure for its neighbours.
"The cost of this was billed to the previous owner, but as they did not come forward, despite many attempts to contact them, we took the legal decision to sell the property.
"The property sold at auction for more than £30,000 and the council's debts will be repaid from this sum.
"We hope the new owner will now restore this property to its former glory and make the area pleasant once again."

Pregnancy: Avoiding PapayaSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, avoid eating unripe papaya. Papaya that is unripe contains a latex substance that may cause contractions of the uterus. Papaya or papaya enzymes are sometimes recommended for soothing indigestion, which is common during pregnancy. Although a fully ripe papaya is not thought to be a problem, it is not known for sure if papaya is completely safe during pregnancy.footnote 1
The papaya enzyme that helps soothe indigestion is called papain, or vegetable pepsin. Papain is found in the fruit's latex and leaves.footnote 1 Unripe papaya latex may act like prostaglandin and oxytocin, which the body makes to start labor. Synthetic prostaglandin and oxytocin are commonly used to start or strengthen labor contractions.

Paulino's arm responds after debut outing
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The best news for Felipe Paulino coming from his Cactus League debut on Sunday was that the right-hander felt nothing but normal soreness on Monday's day after.
Now the White Sox hurler, who had ulnar collateral ligament replacement surgery on his right elbow on July 3, 2012, and then had a cyst removed from his shoulder last September, can focus on normal Spring Training starter stuff. One area of focus for Paulino is putting away hitters after getting ahead in the count.
"Stuff out of his hand is good enough, but we've got to command it more and more," said White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper. "He got ahead in the count. He was poor and really unacceptable in put-away situations.
"He left a bad breaking ball in the zone. He got the guy by the neck and we let him out of it. Once you get ahead of the guy, you should really have him."
Cooper believes that if Paulino keeps getting ahead of hitters as he did Sunday, they will get them out.
"It also gives us direction on what to work on. It might reinforce some of the stuff we are already talking about," Cooper said. "I'm ok with him. He moves on to the next one. It's all good. Now we have better direction with him."

Warm Zone to hold service for Shaminder Brar
The Warm Zone women's centre in Abbotsford is hosting a memorial service for Shaminder Brar, victim of the fatal hit-and-run on Riverside Road, on Friday, March 1 at 1 p.m.
Warm Zone coordinator Michele Giordano said Brar was like family to the women who work at and frequent the facility and will be "dearly missed."
During her struggle with mental illness over the years, she was a frequent visitor to the Warm Zone, a facility for street-engaged women.
The service is open to everyone who knew Brar and takes place at the Warm Zone (2481 McCallum Rd.).
Brar, 34, was found deceased by a passing motorist on Monday, Feb. 18 at the side of Riverside Road between King and Vye roads.
Police believe she was struck by a vehicle sometime between Saturday, Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. and the early-morning hours of Feb. 18.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.

Digital Camera Accessories
Meredith Krebs was a video producer and copywriter at Crutchfield for several years. She wrote about cameras and produced over 100 videos for the website.
More from Meredith Krebs
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
I was very excited to receive my first point-and-shoot camera when I was about nine years old. It was a film camera, so I had to wait a week to see the results from my first roll of film. When I pulled out my photos, I was horrified to discover that my index finger had been in every shot. I thought the viewfinder was the lens, and had not realized that they were actually next to each other.
It's easy to make mistakes when you're shooting. Digital preview modes make it possible to avoid (or at least delete) some of the worst mistakes, but certain things are not repeatable. Your child will only receive that diploma once. There's no do-over for the game winning score. And the bride and groom will only have their first kiss once. So it's best to be ready for those moments. Digital camera accessories can help you be prepared and get the best shot possible.
Keeping your camera charged and ready to go
The average battery lasts about 200-500 photos. But if you like to review and share your photos using the camera's LCD screen, the battery can drain faster. It's no fun missing a shot of your child's performance just because you didn't have enough power. Keeping a spare battery charged will ensure that you won't miss any of the action.
A battery charger
Some cameras come with separate battery chargers, but others have AC adapters that charge the battery inside the camera. Unless you want to take your camera out of commission and plug it into the wall every time you need to charge your batteries, a battery charger paired with an extra battery can be very helpful. You're guaranteed to have fresh batteries when you need them.
Battery grip
Some DSLR cameras are compatible with a truly handy device known as a battery grip. These connect to the underside of the camera chassis to make it easier to hold the camera when shooting vertically. In addition, many hold an extra battery, so you can stay out longer and recharge less often.
Archiving and storage
Extra memory cards
Cameras often don't have much in the way of internal memory, and usually don't come with memory cards included in the box. Even if they do, you'll definitely want to keep extras on hand. If you're on a trip or photographing a long event, you may not have time to review your photo, download the ones you want to keep and delete the rest. SD™ cards are cheap, but the memories are priceless. We recommend stocking up.
An extra hard drive or recordable DVDs
Archiving is important with digital or printed photographs. It's important to store your digital photos several places in case of computer failure or accidental erasure. You can use SD cards or DVDs to archive your photos, or you can use an external hard drive. An external hard drive will hold a lot of media, and will keep your computer memory freed up.
Capturing sound
Digital cameras these days do more than just take photos - they also record high-definition video. Typically, there will be a small microphone built into the chassis of your camera, but see if it also has a microphone input jack or a hot shoe. If so, you can get better results with a special camera-ready microphone.
A good tripod will keep your camera steady, and let you get into the picture.
Taking great shots
A tripod or monopod
Optical image stabilization is a feature offered on a few high-end point and shoot cameras, and it does help steady your shots. But if you want to use a slow shutter speed, or do time-lapse photography, you're going to need to keep the camera steady and in one spot. A tripod is the best tool for the job. Lighter than a tripod, a monopod will also help steady your shots. It's very helpful for capturing sporting events and at other times when you're shooting on the go.
Get organized
A camera case
With a camera case, you can protect your camera and store your extra memory cards, cables and batteries in one place. That way you'll have everything together when it's time to grab your camera and go. Many camera cases are well padded and have lots of little pockets for your accessories, so everything is easy to find.
Enjoy your photos
Want to hook the camera up to your HDTV or your computer? Make sure it includes all the necessary cables before you finish your order. That way you won't be disappointed when it's finally time to share your photos with family and friends. Most cameras have a USB port and many come with a cable to connect your camera to your computer. Some now come with a mini HDMI port, if they shoot high-definition videos, but you will probably need to buy your own mini-HDMI-to-HDMI cable. An HDMI cable will give you the best possible picture on your TV.
Digital photo frames
Once you've taken all your wonderful photos, it's important to see and enjoy them. Various websites, like Flickr®, will let you upload your photos to share them with others. Digital photo frames are another way to enjoy and experience your photos every day. They're easy to set up, and you can even send photos to some of them via email or Wi-Fi® so they're always current. To find out more about sharing your photos, check out our article on printing and sharing pictures.
If you'd like to print your own photos, buying a photo printer is a great option. There's no need to pay to have the photos printed or wait for the prints. Some printers can connect to your network, and others will print directly from a memory card so you don't have to use a computer or hook your camera up to the printer. If you do get a printer, you'll need to stock up on paper and ink cartridges so you can start printing your best shots right away. To learn more, check out our article on how to find the best printer for your needs.

Davis saves game with outstanding sliding snag
Left fielder plays defensive hero in first game in Toronto since joining Tigers
TORONTO -- Among the places Rajai Davis called home during his three seasons with the Blue Jays was one of the many condos that surround the Rogers Centre. It made his commutes to work more like a short, easy stroll.
But in his return to the ballpark for the first time since leaving for the Tigers, Davis required some extra effort at the end, as the left fielder made a terrific sliding grab for the last out of the game.
"I heard somebody said that was a defensive walk-off right there," Davis said.
It was David Price who said that, Davis later said. It was not Joe Nathan, who earned his 24th save with Davis' catch, but he had his share of words for it, too.
"Off the bat, I thought there was no chance," Nathan said. "I thought nobody had a chance of getting to it. I've seen that ball way too many times. We as pitchers have a pretty good idea of the ones that have a chance to be caught and the ones that usually fall in. That was one I felt was going to drop in, but foul."
Nathan would have an 0-2 count on Josh Thole, but he's been there with other hitters before. His struggles to finish off Colby Rasmus from a 1-2 count helped get him to this point -- bases loaded, tying run at third, winning run at second, and Thole a pitch away from a potential walk-off hit.
Rasmus had taken back-to-back fastballs off the plate, then shrugged off a full-count slider that Nathan hoped would draw a swing-and-miss, but didn't throw the way he wanted. Juan Francisco, who came on as a pinch-hitter, entered in a slump, but his ability to hit for power left Nathan weighing his options when he fell behind.
It wasn't an intentional walk, Nathan said, but he was willing to put Francisco on rather than challenge him over the plate.
"Don't want to load the bases in one-run game," Nathan said, "but you don't want to give in to a guy who can end the game with one swing of the bat."
Thus, he took his chances with Thole, who took a first-pitch fastball for a strike before fouling off the curveball.
"Off the bat, I was sure it was going be 0-2 and I was going to have to throw another pitch," Nathan said. "I turned and looked and Rajai was on his horse."
From Davis' angle, it was catchable from the start.
"It actually seemed like it started off fair and then it kind of tailed off," Davis said. "But as soon as it was hit, I knew I had a shot at it. I just put my head down and ran as fast as I could to a spot where I thought it was going to be at. I looked up, took my slide and slid a little longer than I planned. It worked out for us."
Davis slid under the ball and got his glove underneath for the catch. He did not get a turf burn for his trouble.
"I kind of slid pretty smooth," Davis said. "I guess I slid more like an airplane coming in."

A San Jose lawyer known for representing Hells Angels in the South Bay has been indicted on federal charges of obstructing justice and lying to federal agents about his role in tipping off a target of a major drug investigation in Gilroy, allegedly disclosing the probe to a notorious officer of the motorcycle gang who was later shot to death.
An indictment unsealed Friday accuses criminal defense lawyer Michael Edward Hingle of revealing the drug investigation in 2011 to Steve Tausan, a Hells Angels officer who days later was gunned down in San Jose at the funeral of slain Hells Angels leader Jeffrey "Jethro" Pettigrew.
The indictment alleges that on Oct. 13, 2011, Hingle tipped off Tausan to the probe to alert an unidentified "client," described as a person targeted in "Operation Garlic Press," an investigation that involved at least 100 search and arrest warrants across Santa Clara County. Federal and state prosecutors indicted dozens of people in the case, which involved violent Gilroy-based gang members linked to gun and methamphetamine trafficking.
Based on federal prosecutors' timeline, the 52-year-old Tausan was shot to death during a fight at Pettigrew's funeral two days after Hingle tipped him off. There is no indication the drug probe was related to Tausan's slaying; Hells Angels member Steven Ruiz was charged with the slaying after eluding capture for months.
Hingle pleaded not guilty Friday in San Jose federal court, and U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal set his bail at $100,000, according to court records.
The indictment alleges that after Hingle warned Tausan about the operation, the gang member tipped off friends of the "client," even sending a text message warning of imminent arrests in the drug probe. Hingle is charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice for disclosing a secret grand jury investigation.
Federal law enforcement officials began probing Hingle's role in March 2012, and FBI officials questioned him at his San Jose law office in September, according to the indictment. Hingle is charged with three counts of making false statements to federal agents as a result of the FBI interview.
Mary McNamara, Hingle's lawyer, could not be reached for comment Friday.
The State Bar of California in 2004 disciplined Hingle with a private reprimand for undisclosed reasons, according to Bar records. Hingle faces the loss of his law license if convicted of the felony charges, which expose him to years in federal prison.

COOK TIME 3 min.
PREP TIME 10 min.
- Bring 2 gallons of salted water to a boil in a large stock pot. Add the asparagus and cook until tender, approximately 3 minutes. Remove asparagus from water and place in ice water for 5 minutes to stop residual cooking. Remove asparagus from ice water, drain and dry.
- Cut sliced prosciutto in half. Wrap each stalk with one slice prosciutto and transfer to a baking sheet or serving platter.
- Store covered in refrigeration up to one day in advance. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Why Try? The salty, slightly chewy prosciutto is a perfect complement to al dente asparagus. Though prosciutto may be considered a 'luxury' ingredient, this recipe calls for a small quantity and allows it to shine.
Foodie Byte: This simple hors d'oeuvre may be prepared a day in advance if wrapped tightly and stored in refrigeration.

The crew members aboard the USS Underwood could see through their night goggles what was happening on the fleeing go-fast boat: Someone was dumping bales.
When the Navy guided-missile frigate later dropped anchor in Panamanian waters on that sunny August morning, Ensign Clarissa Carpio, a 23-year-old from San Francisco, climbed into the inflatable dinghy with four unarmed sailors and two Coast Guard officers like herself, carrying light submachine guns. It was her first deployment, but Carpio was ready for combat.
Fighting drug traffickers was precisely what shed trained for.
In the most expensive initiative in Latin America since the Cold War, the U.S. has militarized the battle against the traffickers, spending more than $20 billion in the past decade. U.S. Army troops, Air Force pilots and Navy ships outfitted with Coast Guard counter-narcotics teams are routinely deployed to chase, track and capture drug smugglers.
The sophistication and violence of the traffickers is so great that the U.S. military is training not only law enforcement agents in Latin American nations, but their militaries as well, building a network of expensive hardware, radar, airplanes, ships, runways and refueling stations to stem the tide of illegal drugs from South America to the U.S.
According to State Department and Pentagon officials, stopping drug-trafficking organizations has become a matter of national security because they spread corruption, undermine fledgling democracies and can potentially finance terrorists.
U.S. drug czar Gil Kerlikowske, pointing to dramatic declines in violence and cocaine production in Colombia, says the strategy works.
The results are historic and have tremendous implications, not just for the United States and the Western Hemisphere, but for the world, he said at a conference on drug policy last year.
The Associated Press examined U.S. arms export authorizations, defense contracts, military aid, and exercises in the region, tracking a drug war strategy that began in Colombia, moved to Mexico and is now finding fresh focus in Central America, where brutal cartels mark an enemy motivated not by ideology but by cash.
The U.S. authorized the sale of a record $2.8 billion worth of guns, satellites, radar equipment and tear gas to Western Hemisphere nations in 2011, four times the authorized sales 10 years ago, according to the latest State Department reports.
Over the same decade, defense contracts jumped from $119 million to $629 million, supporting everything from Kevlar helmets for the Mexican army to building airport runways in Aruba, according to federal contract data.
Last year $830 million, almost $9 out of every $10 of U.S. law enforcement and military aid spent in the region, went toward countering narcotics, up 30 percent in the past decade.
Many in the military and other law enforcement agencies the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, FBI applaud the U.S. strategy, but critics say militarizing the drug war in a region fraught with tender democracies and long-corrupt institutions can stir political instability while barely touching what the U.N. estimates is a $320 billion global illicit drug market.

Tomorrow at 4. It should be a really good game.
Kelly Faris, an Indiana girl, is someone I think is the best player in the country at everything but scoring. (Passing, defense, taking care of the ball, rebounding for her size)
And Skylar Diggins vs Bria Hartley should be a great matchup as well.


text: Lets get it goin! Personally I beleive we SHOULD be there, and we shouldnt be in the withdrawal stage we are now, seems to me like everyone forgot 9/11 and the subsequent terrorist attacks (all failures) that have come in the years since, here in the US and abroad on our "peacetime" troops and allie countries. What you think?

Last in Series
The third and last programme in this series of Flesh and Blood is a guided tour by writer Carlo Gebler of his father Ernest with contributions by Carlo's mother Edna O'Brien, playwright JP Donleavy and writer Alana Hopkin.
The bulk of the tour is an exploration of the contents of a pile of old suitcases placed on the dining table at Carlo's home in Co Fermanagh.
His inheritance from his father, the suitcases lay in Carlo's attic for years. Carlo had an instinct about the contents and knew that until he was truly 'ready' he should not open them.
The film is an examination of the relationship between a father and son as revealed by the contents of those suitcases.
Carlo's dad was a writer, a hoarder and an habitual annotator. The scribbled notes found on the inside surfaces of the cases and across the vast collection of photographs and documents form a commentary on Gebler family life; events such as the publication of Ernest's best-selling book, the arrival and departure of Ernest's first wife American actress/heiress Leatrice Gilbert and the arrival and departure of Carlo's mother Edna O'Brien.
