Strachan to launch fresh appeal over suspension
Celtic will appeal after confirming they are unhappy with the Scottish Football Association's decision to halve Gordon Strachan's four-match touchline ban.
The Scottish champions wanted Strachan's suspension overturned rather than reduced at a Hampden hearing today.
But officials at the SFA disciplinary meeting upheld the case against the Celtic boss, who was banished to the stand in the game against Hearts at Parkhead on April 29 after an altercation with referee Stuart Dougal.
The Celtic boss was found guilty of misconduct but the benefit of putting his side of events was seeing the ban cut to two games.
A Celtic spokesperson said: 'Clearly the club is surprised and disappointed with the decision and we will be lodging an appeal.'
Strachan, who served a two-match ban after a bust-up at Tynecastle in August 2006, faces a third ban after being sent to the stand by Charlie Richmond following an argument with a steward at Pittodrie in August.
However the latter case will now be put back, with Celtic due to submit their appeal against today's verdict in time for Strachan to be in the dug-out for tomorrow night's CIS Insurance Cup tie at Dundee.
SFA spokesman Andy Mitchell said: 'There is an automatic four-match suspension on an official who has been found guilty for the second time of misconduct in the technical area.
'Gordon Strachan chose to appeal against that four-match ban and presented his case to the disciplinary committee and the outcome was a two-match suspension.
'This been applied with immediate effect which takes in the CIS Cup match tomorrow and the next league match.
'The committee has the discretion to impose whatever sanction it sees fit.
'But he has a right to appeal should he so choose and if he chooses to take it further it will go to an independent appeals tribunal.
'He obviously has to appeal by tomorrow evening.
'It is in everyone's interests to resolve this case to a final conclusion before addressing the next one.'

Executives at CNBC have decided that their controversial reality-TV series "Money Talks" will premiere March 19, and all eight episodes will feature self-described Las Vegas bookie killer Steve Stevens. The revealing look inside the high-stakes world of sports betting shows that it's built on high emotions, risk and rewards.
Steve, head of VIP Sports, also calls himself the Michael Jordan of sports handicapping and maintains that his picks are correct more than 60 percent of the time. After a winter-preview screening of the show, network officials received such a pro-and-con shock reaction that they agreed the entire show would focus on gambling in Las Vegas through Steve's company.
Each episode will be one hour, and cameras follow the bookie and his agents selling their picks to big-time whales and gamblers with big bankrolls and even bigger expectations.
"Our goal at CNBC is to bring viewers intimate looks at all sorts of businesses. And the world of gambling, for the most part, has not been seen on reality television," said Jim Ackerman, SVP of primetime alternative programming. "It's an exciting world with colorful characters and major stakes. And even in a city like Vegas, Steve Stevens stands out as one of the biggest and most dynamic characters you will meet."
The show also follows the big-time bookie's personal life with his given name, Darin Notaro, as he tries to build a more traditional life with girlfriend Kelly, her two children and their baby boy. He admits on camera to years of overindulging in a fast-paced Las Vegas lifestyle with two short stints in prison. The show will broadcast to more than 395 million homes worldwide, with 100 million in the U.S. and Canada.
CHEFS & ROCKERS: The first two star chefs and two rockers have been confirmed for the Feb. 27 "Iron Chef" Kerry Simon fundraiser at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health: Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Daniel Boulud will both fly in from New York to lead the lineup of kitchen kings and queens, and Sammy Hagar and Alice Cooper have confirmed for entertainment. More names to come!
For more than 15 years, Kerry has been a culinary star in the Las Vegas community, creating food trends and memorable meals while developing the hippest culinary events and offerings in the city. In December, he bravely went public with his revelation to me that he is battling multiple system atrophy (MSA), an incurable and rapidly progressive neurodegenerative, and ultimately fatal, disease that affects multiple parts of the body, causing slowness of movement, muscle rigidity and poor balance.
Similar to Parkinson's, but far more aggressive, there is no treatment to slow or stop the disease. While coming forward was a difficult decision, Kerry made the choice in hopes of helping others who may be battling similar diseases and to let his supporters know that everyone's favorite rock 'n roll chef would still be making his rounds in the kitchen, even if from a wheelchair.
He's partnering with Keep Memory Alive, the charitable arm of the center where Kerry is undergoing care. The once-in-a-lifetime classic culinary and music-centric spectacular will increase awareness and create a network for those affected by MSA and their caregiver families.
NIGHTCLUB & BAR SHOW RETURNS: The food and beverage industry's most important bar, beverage, nightclub, restaurant and hospitality event of the year, the Nightclub & Bar Show, returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center from March 24 -26. "Bar Rescue" star Jon Taffer promises that it will be the greatest conference and nightlife program in the show's 28-year history.
The Nightclub and Bar Media Group president also promises 600 exhibitor booths, more than 70 moneymaking seminars, four in-depth workshops and three powerful keynote speakers. Many of Jon's "Bar Rescue" owners from the Spike TV series will take part in a "Where Are They Now" panel discussing their experiences. Parties will be held at Hard Rock Hotel beach pool, Marquee, Tryst and Hakkasan with DJ superstar Calvin Harris and at XS in Steve Wynn's Encore with two-time Grammy winner DJ David Guetta.
For the first time at the show and in Las Vegas is the Craft Spirits Awards International Competition, a blind taste test to determine bronze-, silver- and gold medal-winning spirits, plus, the premiere of the Shake It Up Competition in partnership with the United States Bartenders Guild to highlight up-and-coming mixologists.
Michael Turco
MAGIC TOUR: Las Vegas illusionist Michael Turco, who headlined at Miracle Mile Shops in Planet Hollywood, is joining the "Masters of Illusion Live" touring magic show based on the award-winning TV series. He will be one of a dozen magicians on an East Coast run that includes Atlantic City, where Michael began his career.
Other Las Vegas magicians include Kevin James, Joseph Gabriel, Jason Byrne and Britney Spears favorite Ed Alonzo, plus, daring escapologists, amazing quick-change artists, eye-popping illusionists with exotic wild animals and beautiful dancers.
Capt. Kirk himself William Shatner and his "We Live in His World" one-man show is at Smith Center. My Q+A with him was posted Jan. 10.
Brad Garrett headlines at his comedy club in MGM Grand with Mark Eddie and Scott Henry through Friday.
To celebrate Bill Maher's birthday today, there's a $20 discount on tickets for his 2014 shows at Pearl at the Palms.
Carl LaBove and Carla Rae are at Riviera Comedy Club through Sunday.
DJ Vice is at Marquee in the Cosmopolitan.
DJ Five is at XS.
Actress Florence Henderson isn't running away from her 80th birthday but vows not to slow down as she gets ready to be honored as Nevada Ballet Theater's Woman of the Year this weekend, plus, a preview of opening night of "Pawn Shop Live!" at Golden Nugget.

Oozingly Mine (PB&J #33 - Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich Painting)
6"X6" ACRYLIC ON 7/8" cradled wood board
Yes, I did eat this PB&J! Truth be told, I didn't want to waste this much oozilage, so I took a quick photo and shoved it in my mouth before the shutter finished clicking. Okay, it was actually my Iphone and it doesn't make any noise but I took a bite fast.
Nope, not painted from life. We all know that I am not a hyper-realism painter. Believe me, if I could be I would be! But I they're just fun and people seem to like them as much as I do. Besides, who can resist a fresh PB&J with this much PBJ ooozzing??

Tie me up
By Rebecca
from Houston, TX
Took to dye easy, however requires substantial blocking during the washing process in order to prevent rolling of edges. My Biggest gripe is the loop on the back of the tie for tucking the tail in, it was not securely sewn.

Is Google becoming one of the "bad" guys?
I recently read this article.
Then today I read this article stating:
I'm getting scared of Google.
It is assimilating all kind of knowledge. Too much for my taste:
I have to admit that I was one of the first ones that was happy seeing Google raise and being able to compete (and win) against the classical giants like Apple and Microsoft (especially as it's using a Linux-kernel, yeaahhh), but maybe Google is now starting to look like one of those giants that you cannot hold back anymore?
And I haven't heard, as they're using Linux as their OS, about big backfeeds into the Linux community (I might be wrong - many contributions end up not being noticed...). Ok, SPDY really seems to be useful, but otherwise what did Google give to the "normal/non-specialized" Linux community?
To me it looks like that Google strategy was something like:
I don't want to say that what Google offers is not working fine - actually it's working too well and everything is becoming very well integrated, not just between products (which are now slowly merging) but as well in our life.
Without doubt Google is becoming (has become?) the next Big Brother.
NSA's life would probably be much easier if they would just buy Google.
What do you think?
Google does this mainly for marketing purposes to sell our info to advertisers. I don't like google but I need it to use the google play store.
NSA does this because they're a bunch of paranoid !@*#! who think we are terrorists!
I don't know what's worse: corporate spies who want to sell us junk or government spies who think they are patriots and no one else is.
What irritates me is that folks are willing to strip themselves naked for the corporate spies without a second thought.
What do you mean becoming ?
Google stopped being my kind of company long ago. Seem every thing we get out of them is closed and locked in and prevents us from being in control.
You do know that crooks have been stealing your data for decades. Corporate spies, and national sponsored hackers have been doing this to businesses for decades. Team hackers have taken large banks and credit cards for maybe trillions of dollars. Each day some hundred thousand false purchases are shipped or walked out of stores. The people who end up paying for this is the common hard working person.
At least NSA is trying to prevent terror attacks.
"Data collection," of course, "is one thing." NSA and lots of other three-letter acronyms have been doing that much since time began. But it wasn't a military-industrialist product. There was oversight. It wasn't being done wholesale by businesses.
Today, there is no oversight, not even in the US Congress, where most members do not have high security-clearances. (So, "you can vote for it, but you don't know what you're voting for," etc.) The teeter-totter of power has swung much too far in the wrong direction.
We all preach here that "security is a process," and that's true on the national level as well. But there are literally millions of government contractors who have (obviously, too-much ...) access to this stuff, and even the work of approving security clearances has now been "contracted out." So, it's just not possible to presume that these activities, which of course are done "in the name of national security," actually support that purpose instead of gravely weakening it.
"But ... there's ... so ... damn ... much ... money ... to ... be ... made ... ... and ... all ... of ... it ... in ... secret!" (Slobber, slobber, drool, gimme gimme gimme ...)
Anyone who has access to as much data Google is bound to be coerced into compliance by the US government (or any other). That applies to all of the social networks: FB, Twitter, etc. They've all clearly said "Yes" to the money and thrown all of their users under the bus to get there. It's too bad that everyone can't be as principled as LavaBit.
The best thing is, if you feel threatened about those sites, it's generally pretty easy to not use them. The hardest thing is finding some decent Firefox plugins to block weird ad tracking things that seem to be hooked into every webpage.
The NSA is going down. They ever so narrowly missed being defunded, and as more and more dirt comes out, nobody is going to want to touch them with a 10 foot pole. And that's a good first step, because without the coercion and threat of government prosecution from posting cat pictures or discussing the non-aggression principle, those social networks go back to just being annoying instead of dangerous.

"Great Writers, Great Narration, Money well spent"
While I had read the Jordan novella before, it happened to be one of my favorites in the series, where Lan and Moiraine first meet...and, unlike some of his other books, it is short enough to be finished without abandoning your friends/spouse for a week.
Pratchett's story is a Granny Weatherwax tale, where she maxes out her Headology skills. If what I just wrote sounds interesting, you will love the short--if not, get one of Pratchett's earlier books first.
Card surprised me--I've only read his first two books, and having one set in 1820s America really surprised me. The short is still fantasy, given the subtle powers of some of its characters, but certainly not of the conventional "set in 15th century England" type...and for that reason, that particular novella was my favorite of the three.
"keep it up to date"
I really enjoyed the content of the short stories, but the audio itself was flawed. The recording skipped in places and the first story was not the newest version. Otherwise I enjoyed the book.
"Mixed bag"
The three stories in this collection are quite different from each other and in their value. Half of the content is in Jordan's "New Spring." Sadly, this tale is weak at best. It is unclear where the story is going or at the conclusion, where is went. Pratchett's "The Sea and Little Fishes" is entertaining to a Pratchett-fan. This is a short witches-story. The best of the three, however, is Card's "Grinning Man." This story was hillarious and insightfull and enough to make me look into other works by him.
"A Primer For Exposure to Good Listening..."
I'll keep this one brief, because I could write on this audiobook for hours. There are so many good stories for anyone who is new to scifi or fantasy, or to someone who has never read these good series of novels/audiobooks.
Especially the latter.
These are all exceptional works that will introduce you to wonderful realms that deserve your attention. For instance, you may have never considered Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series to be something you'd dive into, but once you read the short story he's included herein, I'm betting you'll be hooked. And this is just one of MANY such listening adventures that await you.
This is a great collection of stories that you'll listen to many times, due to the sheer diversity. quality, and pleasure they provide.
This is a fantastic voyage of discovery for you, the listener.
And it's only an Audible credit away.
"Some wonderful, some not"
Only if they like Orson Scott Card's Alvin Maker series.
I've read/listened to everything (really!) written by Terry Pratchett. His universe is interesting and funny and lends itself to satire and a poke at us. I enjoyed this story, too. Jordan's world begins with this novella. If it interests you, read (listen to) the series. It does capture the imagination. I don't like the Alvin Maker series and this story did not keep me interested at all. I can't figure out why...
No, but it is a short story book so it lends itself to short listens as you can. A good listen when commuting to work and back.

You may be hugely successful in what you do in the world at large, but deep down you know you could be doing more. What is the one thing in this life that moves you more than anything else? Make that the focus of your words and actions this year.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
You don't have to be overly suspicious this week, but you do have to be sensible, especially in places and situations that are new to you. Most people want to help you rather than hurt you, but it's still smart to be on your guard.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
You may be strongly attached to your beliefs, but other people are just as strongly attached to their beliefs, and if they clash over the next few days the results could be messy. The most likely result? A draw in which both sides get bruised.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
You are more flexible in your attitudes then most other people, and that's good because over the next few days you will encounter situations where the only way to get through unscathed is to bend with the breeze. Less supple types will break.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Be careful what claims you make over the next few days because when Mercury, planet of communication and the mind, begins one of its retrograde phases on Thursday you may have to back up those claims with facts. Can you do that?
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
For some reason you are rather suspicious of people at the moment, as if everyone you meet intends to do you harm. That isn't true, of course, but it won't hurt to err on the side of caution. Your suspicions could have a basis in fact.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
If you allow someone to get away with dictating to you this week they may start to believe they can do as they please. A better strategy by far is to let them know immediately what you will and will not permit. And you must mean it.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
This is probably not a good time to take on extra work or responsibility. You may think you can cope, you may think you have got energy to spare, but when Mercury turns retrograde on the 6th you may find out that isn't true.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
You may be having second thoughts about some of your aims and also your methods. That's okay, but you would be smart not to actually change anything just yet. If you do, chances are you will have to change it back again later.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
Resist the urge to get involved if loved ones, friends or work colleagues start arguing among themselves. No matter how even-handed you try to be no one will be happy with what you decide – so do yourself a favour and keep your distance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
If there is something you have been planning to do then get started on it straight away. The planets warn if you leave it more than another two or three days you may not be able to start at all. Be bold and follow your instincts.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
You may find that you are not so dynamic over the next few days as you have been of late, but that's okay. You have come a long way in a short space of time and it's only right that you should slow down a bit and take stock.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Cosmic activity in the most sensitive area of your chart is trying to tell you that you need to spend less time doing and more time thinking – and feeling. The more you think and feel now the better prepared you will be to take action later.

Where We Live: Orchard Park
Orchard Park
The Orchard Park School Board has approved a contract extension with Fisher Bus Co. at the consumer price index increase, or capped at a maximum of 3 percent, during each of the next five years.
"I believe this is a very good contractual arrangement for the district," said Jeffrey Petrus, assistant superintendent for business. "With skyrocketing fuel costs, this 3 percent extension is very beneficial and much less than if we went out to bid."
Petrus said the district could back out any year, noting that transportation contracts can be renewed yearly. "This just locks in a 3 percent annual increase," he said.
Also this week:
• The town's Zoning Board of Appeals meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the basement meeting room of the Municipal Center, 4295 S. Buffalo St.

Wiener Library gets £1 million Lottery grant
One million pounds of National Lottery money has been granted to the Wiener Library, Europe's premier Holocaust archive.
The money, from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), is to form part of an endowment that will allow the library to expand its provision of school workshops, lectures and exhibitions.
Under the terms of the grant, the library must now raise an additional £1 million in order to secure the funds.
Ben Barkow, director of library, described being awarded the grant as a "huge achievement… We are delighted that the HLF has recognised the library's critical heritage role."
He added that the money would be used to secure the library's long-term role as a significant resource for Holocaust education.
The money comes from a scheme called Catalyst: Endowment, which encourages long-term financial independence for museums, parks and historic sites.
Carole Souter, chief executive of HLF, said: "Building financial resilience is vital to ensure the future of our precious buildings, landscapes and collections."
The library was founded in Amsterdam in 1933 by Dr Alfred Wiener and transferred to central London in 1939. It moved to its current building in Russell Square in 2011.
Toby Simpson, the library's learning and engagement manager, said that the money would be used to increase the number of workshops available to school groups on subjects such as rescue and resistance.
He said that the library planned to hold more educational events for adults, such as its joint workshop on war-themed board games with the Victoria and Albert Museum.

text: Who is using compost teas out there?? I am starting a job as groundskeeper for a university, and I want to be as organic as I can be. We are talking serious footage here, so granular organics simply would not be cost effective. I have priced them out locally, and the cost would be ridiculous. Any feedback recispes, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I plan on using them on turf and trees/shrubs. Also, what is a good brewer to buy, or can i just build one??

Rami Levi Tries Out for the Big Leagues
Discount grocery king has eye on 50 Mega outlets, but expansion poses risks.
When Rami Levi arrives at capital market conferences dressed simply and without a slide representation, his standard opening line is: "Ask me questions." He tells the assembled investors and analysts, "You know that I don't know how to talk."
Maybe he doesn't speak the language of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, but this week he put into motion a giant deal with Dudi Weissman to buy scores of Mega branches.
Levi is deciding whether to purchase 50 out of 70 Mega branches. Today, his chain of Rami Levi supermarkets operates just 24 (two of them through franchises ) and he is regarded as the No. 3 player in the supermarket business in terms of sales. In first place, of course, is Super-Sol, which operates 267 outlets and has a 21% market share. In second place is Mega, with 200 stores and an 11.7% share.
"I succeed because I create demand," Levi said this week. "I didn't have any business plan when I started the businesses with a flagship in the Jerusalem market, but I worked with the shopper in mind and I created demand for my business. Once I created that demand, I expanded. It was that simple. "I work around the clock," he said, "except for Shabbat, and surround myself with friends and family. Eighteen family members work for me."
But Levi does not just rely on family and hard work. His entire business strategy relies on his man-of-the-people image, that of someone from the city's Gilo neighborhood and Mahane Yehuda.
He reaches decisions based on calculations made on his Casio and arouses a sleepy branch by announcing that shoppers at cash registers four and six can leave without paying. He sells fresh chickens for NIS 1.90 a kilo, matza at a steep discount for Passover and the same for hummus and kebab on Independence Day. And he doesn't forget to tell the media about it, the better to unnerve the competition.
He identifies with the middle class, but in fact left it long ago. Today he is one of the richest people in Israel, with a fortune of more than $1 billion. His stock market holdings alone are worth more than NIS 900 million and his private real estate holdings are estimated at NIS 300 million and NIS 500 million. Since Rami Levi went public, he has collected NIS 230 million in dividends.
Levi and his wife Adina, the company treasurer and a board director, make handsome salaries. Between 2001 and 2007, the cost of his compensation to the company was NIS 23 million, and hers was NIS 12 million.
Changing of the guard
The dialogue between Levi and Weissman does not reflect just the strength of the one and the weakness of the other, but a changing of the guard at Israel's highest echelons. The tycoons are wrestling with heavy debt and giving up their pride of place while hungry, ambitious new entrepreneurs come in.
Even if the deal with Weissman does not go through, what is clear is that from Levi's perspective he has risen in status. He has little debt, NIS 200 million in cash and anhuge deire to be No. 1. He is always looking for new ways to expand.
Meanwhile, however, Levi is anxious. "I didn't sleep well last night," he said. "I woke up at 4:30 in the morning with a lot of disturbing thoughts and I couldn't get back to sleep," he told TheMarker a day after the deal was announced. Under the circumstances, a night of insomnia was understandable.
Even Levi realizes that rapid growth via a major acquisition is not a simple thing to execute. To make it in the big leagues, he will have to make organizational changes and take on much bigger responsibilities.
His company was first listed on the stock exchange five years ago with just five stores but a very high rate of profitability. He was greeted coolly.
Rami Levi shares fell sharply and only after a year-and-a-half did they begin to climb on the back of strong earnings and an expanding branch network. It became a hot stock. Since July 2007, the stock has jumped 260%. During that time, Alon Blue Square - Weissman's company - fell 80% and Super-Sol was pretty much unchanged.
Rami Levi's market capitalization of NIS 1.5 billion is roughly three times that of Alon Blue Square, which has more branches as well as a property arm and energy interests. Super-Sol has a market cap of NIS 2.2 billion.
From the perspective of one year, Rami Levi's market performance is less impressive - zero growth, reflecting the troubles of the food retailing sector after last summer's social protests. But then again, Super-Sol dropped 40% and Alon Blue Square 70%.
Rami Levi finished 2011 with revenue of NIS 2.2 billion and a net profit of NIS 94 million. In fact, his gross margin is lower than his competitors because of his strategy of discounting and aggressive sales.
But thanks to his low-cost structure, operating profits are high - 5.5% versus 3.6% for Super-Sol and 2.6% for Blue Square.
Levi has tried for years to enter new businesses. IN 2011, he entered the cellphone market and today counts 70,000 subscribers. He sells insurance policies at his supermarkets and in recent months allowed Bank of Jerusalem to set up branches in them.
"I'll enter any business where I think I can serve my consumer," he said.
But none of these new ventures has marked a breakthrough for Levi, not even the cellphone business. They are principally aimed at enhancing the Rami Levi brand as the place for the consumer to buy goods and services at low prices.
Alon Bloue Square offered 50 branches for sale, but Levi will probably have to give up on 30 of them because they operate in the same areas as his existing stores. He wants to avoid cannibalizing his existing business. He also has to worry about whether he can maintain the razor-thin management and cost structure.
In the past, Levi has said he can manage at his current cost structure so long as his network doesn't grow past 50 outlets. But growing so quickly with his new acquisitions will require investment information systems, a bigger purchasing operation and perhaps the building of a logistics center. He will have to take on new managers beyond his old and trusted team.
