Defender Dale Bennett has seen his contract at Watford cancelled by mutual consent.
Last Updated: 24/01/13 8:37pm
The Academy graduate, 23, made his Hornets debut in a League Cup encounter against West Ham in September 2008 but has failed to nail down a regular first-team place at Vicarage Road.
Bennett has made a total of 25 appearances for Watford, 16 of which starts.
He also spent time on loan at Kettering, Brentford, AFC Wimbledon and Yeovil - the latter two coming over the first half of this season.
He has signed a two-and-a-half year deal to become the fifth Watford graduate to turn up at The New Lawn, with Al Bangura, Eddie Oshodi, Keiron Forbes, and Jamie Collins first-team regulars as they aim for a play-off place at the very least.

Good Points
Very easy to use. It is my first DVD player and at £99.49 it's an absolute bargain. Took it home, plugged it in and started watching a movie,can't fault the player in the slightest!
Bad Points
Being a first time user, I would have liked a user manual that was a little more helpful! The manual shows all the menu options but doesn't quite explain them well enough for a total novice like me.
General Comments
Apart from a little gripe about the quality of the manual I cannot complain in the slightest with this Dansai 952 DVD player. A great buy for anyone buying their first DVD player. If you don't own a DVD player get down to Tesco's now before the sell out!

Obama Vows to Keep Pushing for Cordray
President Obama promised to continue to fight for Richard Cordray to be the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau despite Thursday's successful effort by Republicans to block the nomination.
Obama said at the White House shortly after the Senate vote that there is no reason Cordray, a former Ohio attorney general, shouldn't be confirmed.
The CFPB began operations this summer. It was created by the Dodd-Frank Act following the financial meltdown that began in 2008.
"This was a law that was passed by Congress that I signed into law that is designed solely to protect American consumers," the president said. "Why wouldn't we want to have somebody just to make sure that people are being treated fairly?"
Obama didn't say what the next steps would be. One option might be a recess appointment, in which he appoints Cordray when Congress is next in recess. This would allow him to serve until the end of next year.
However, Republicans can put up a procedural roadblock to having Congress recess during the holidays and require both chambers to meet in pro forma session to prevent any recess appointment from taking place.
Senate Republicans voted almost unanimously to block the nomination because they want the bureau to be governed by a five-member board rather than by a single director. The vote was 53-45 but 60 were needed.
The sole GOP vote for Cordray came from Sen. Scott Brown, the Massachusetts Republican expected to be in a tight re-election race with CFPB creator and Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren, the current frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.
Raj Date, whose title is Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the CFPB, has been serving as its interim director.

"Developments in Gender and Public Health and Managing Gender Equity in Staffing within WHO"
International Women's Day Seminar
Dear Colleagues,
On this day, it always strikes me how far we have come in improving the position and lives of women during my professional lifetime - and yet how short. For ourselves and our daughters, the lives and opportunities are truly different than that of our mothers.
And yet, despite a century of struggle for gender equality, there isn't a single country or institution in the world where men and women fully enjoy equal opportunities.
In many countries, women have not even achieved the most basic of rights and opportunities. In many countries, women own nothing, inherit nothing and earn nothing. Three out of four of the poorest billion people of the world are women. Discrimination, combined with poverty, prevents women from getting out of situations of abuse and exploitation. Poverty leads to ill health and additional strain on already over-stretched households. When women are ill, gender-based discrimination further limits their access to care and treatment.
The work we do in the World Health Organization is crucial for the efforts to improve the lives of the poorest women of our world. We cannot advance women's standing in society without improving their health. We need to ensure that she survives and maintains her health.
That means protection from HIV/AIDS. It means safe pregnancy and childbirth. It means freedom from violence and sexual abuse. It means access to health care for her and her children.
WHO is engaged in literally dozens of initiatives targeted at women's health – either directly or indirectly. "Making Pregnancy Safer" is central among them. It represents a concrete step towards achieving the Millennium Development Goal target of reducing by three-quarters the maternal mortality ratio by 2015. The goal is that all women go safely through pregnancy and childbirth and that their infants are born alive and healthy. "Making Pregnancy Safer" clearly emphasizes the importance of improving health systems in order to advance the health and well-being of women and their infants.
I am also proud of our efforts to help women protect themselves against HIV/AIDS. The challenges are great. Women's abilities for protection are much less than men's. Men can use a condom without a partner's cooperation - women can't. Women too often are not free to refuse sex; men usually are. Women are at higher risk both of physical and sexual abuse within intimate relationships, as well as forced sex and sexual coercion by others. Moreover, women often risk physical abuse and abandonment if they report a positive HIV test - men generally do not. In addition, women, not men, must take drugs to prevent mother-to-child transmission - but often men, not women, have financial and other forms of control over whether women are able to take them.
More and more girls and young women under the age of 24 are becoming infected with HIV. The results are tragic – they are transmitting the virus to their babies, they are dying early as a result of obstetric difficulties or AIDS, and leaving young orphans behind. WHO's approach makes an explicit link between HIV prevention and care, and focuses on the needs of the mother and her immediate family. Healthy mothers and healthy babies are key if we are to ensure healthy futures.
Over the past few years, WHO has also directed attention to other threats to women's health. We have shown how women's smoking rates have remained stable in wealthy countries, while they have fallen among men. In Denmark, Germany and the United States, more young women than young men now smoke.
We have shown how the epidemic is shifting to low- and middle-income countries, not only among men but, increasingly, among women. Women also suffer from passive smoking, as their husbands and fathers smoke.
The toll is substantial. We are seeing that lung cancer, for example, now is surpassing breast cancer as a leading cause of cancer deaths among women in several countries. No doubt the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which we finished negotiating just last week, is also a step on the road to improving women's health.
The World Report on Violence and Health has put the spotlight on the substantial burden of violence women suffer around the world. The WHO campaign against violence is to a large extent a campaign to improve the lives of women.
We should not consider the health of women in isolation from men, fathers, brothers, husbands and sons. Women live in complex social contexts, and gender roles and relations are embedded within that context. In order to improve the health of women, we have to analyse the determinants of women's health status within the reality of their lives. I have been committed to incorporating a gender perspective in health across WHO's work.
So, how have we fared in carrying out the ideals of gender equality within our own Organization ? Compared to many other international organizations, we have not done badly. We are in the middle of the field, but in terms of recent increases in women representation and new recruitment over the past few years, we out-perform most - if not all the other agencies.
In 1997, the World Health Assembly instructed WHO to have 50% representation of women in professional and higher categories. The Resolution did not set a timeframe, but we chose to issue a Cluster Note in 1999 that set a target of 60% recruitment rate of women, and specified the year 2010.
In practice, implementation has not been easy. Today the percentage of women in professional and higher categories in the Organization is 33% (as of December 2002) up from 22% a decade ago and close to the UN system average of 34%. The percentage of women appointed into new positions in professional and higher categories during 2002 was just over 48% (vis-à-vis a 60% target). That is not enough to celebrate yet, but it is a significant improvement over 34.6% in 2001. We are moving in the right direction.
We are facing a number of obstacles in achieving a better gender balance in the Secretariat. Among our Member States, gender balance often takes a back seat to concerns over geographical distribution. It is a rare occasion when a country's ambassador comes to me complaining that there are not enough women in the Organization !
Progress will only come if we can focus on finding more qualified women from under-represented countries. We also have to look at the great variation among our Regions in the employment of women. SEARO, for example has exceeded the target of 60% new recruits being women, while some Regions are lagging far behind.
We need women to be more involved in the events and processes that shape their lives. A world where men and women share more equally in political and economic decision-making will translate into a world that pays greater attention to health, education and social outcomes for all.
Thank you.

THE Government has refused to 'call in' part of a controversial £200m housing scheme, clearing the way for work to begin and triggering renewed calls for a Durham town council.
After Banks Property won planning permission to turn the 95-acre Mount Oswald golf course site, off South Road, Durham, into a £200m housing development last year, Roberta Blackman-Woods, the city's MP, asked Communities Secretary Eric Pickles to make the final decision on the first phase, for 61 homes, through the 'call in' process.
However, Mr Pickles has declined, meaning Durham County Council's decision stands and work has now begun on site.
Loading article content
Dr Blackman-Woods said she was extremely disappointed.
"This and further applications will change the nature of Durham, removing a much-needed part of the green landscape of the city," she added.
Dr Blackman-Woods said Durham needed a "stronger voice in the community" and vowed to start a petition as soon as possible demanding the creation of a town council for the city.
There have been concerns over a "democratic deficit" in Durham since the city council was abolished in 2009.
However, a first attempt to create a town council failed in 2012, amid clashing ideas and public apathy.
Any petition would need to be signed by five per cent of the local electorate to trigger a referendum.
Liberal Democrat councillor Nigel Martin said he entirely supported the town council idea and it should not be a party political issue.
Cllr Martin added he was disappointed but not surprised at the decision not to 'call in' Mt Oswald.
Mark Dowdall, Banks' environment and community director, said the Mt Oswald scheme, which also includes an exclusive millionaires' row, accommodation for 1,000 students, offices and community facilities, would be an outstanding, high quality, low density, sustainable new neighbourhood of families and students and he was pleased to see work starting on site.
"Our proposals received substantial local scrutiny over a significant period of time and were approved at a local level by elected local councillors in line with the principles of localism on which the UK's planning regime is based.
"No review at national level of any part of this decision was ever either required or warranted, and we're pleased that the Secretary of State agreed with this position," he added.

After years of development, months of post-premiere refining and weeks of New York previews and rehearsals, "Hands on a Hardbody" finally gets its moment on the mountaintop this week.
The musical, which was commissioned and developed by La Jolla Playhouse and had its world premiere there last May, opens on Broadway this Thursday.
"Hardbody," based on the 1997 documentary film of the same name, goes up in New York with the entire cast from the La Jolla production intact - unusual for a transfer like this.
In fact, the piece keeps virtually the same production team , with a few notable exceptions: Sergio Trujillo is the choreographer (he replaced Benjamin Millepied last year), and the band, which had been composed mostly of local musicians in La Jolla, is also new.
The musical opens Thursday at Manhattan's Brooks Atkinson Theatre; reviews out of the New York and national media outlets should begin appearing that evening, and we'll post a full roundup here then.
The most recent previous show at the Atkinson, by the way, was another Playhouse-bred work: "Peter and the Starcatcher," which began in the La Jolla theater's Page to Stage program and went on to win five Tony Awards.
"Hardbody" becomes the 24th Playhouse-created (or at least Playhouse-staged) production to go on to Broadway, counting such shows as the recent Des McAnuff revival of "Jesus Christ Superstar" (which was more of a transfer from Canada's Stratford Shakespeare Festival).
Meantime, the movie that spawned the show is getting new life all its own. Playbill reports that the original "Hardbody" documentary, which chronicles the quirky Texas endurance contest that gave the film its name, is receiving a fresh DVD release.
The movie also kicks off a national "screening tour" starting Wednesday - although oddly, given what you'd think would be natural local interest, San Diego is not on the list of cities it'll visit.

Tiger hit in pocket as sponsor pulls plug
The Tiger Woods saga finally hit the golfing megastar in the pocket last night as one of his major sponsors cuts its ties with the world No 1.
Accenture announced Woods "is no longer the right representative".
The decision will cost the 33-year-old tens of millions and the fear must be that more sponsors will now feel able to follow the lead.
Woods has been with Accenture, the management consultant company, since 2003 and was seen as central to their marketing strategy.
Within the game of golf the news was greeted with the deepest of groans. Today the individual, tomorrow the sport? The portents are as ominous as they are obvious. Yesterday his peers were still digesting Friday's stunning announcement that Woods has "taken a hiatus" from competitive sport as he attempts to save his marriage after a fortnight of allegations of extra-marital affairs.
The Shark Shootout in Florida is traditionally an end-of-year jolly with the emphasis on easy money.
But Graeme McDowell, the Europe Ryder Cup player, revealed the atmosphere at the Tiburon Golf Club this year has been one of long-term concern for the finances of the PGA Tour and beyond.
"We're under no illusions," said Ulsterman McDowell .
"We're much more prosperous golfers for having Tiger Woods playing in our era. There's plenty of global superstars on the way up to replace him.
"But they're not just quite ready to replace him yet. We need him to hang around for another four or five years."
McDowell is of the opinion that Woods's self-enforced exile — "to focus on being a better husband, father and person" — will not be too long, although like Geoff Ogilvy, he does confess "indefinite is a scary word".
Woods' chosen adjective has sent a collective shiver down the spine of the American circuit, as Greg Norman, the Shark Shootout host revealed with unwitting irony.
"The Tour has got to be worried, because what's the definition of indefinite?" asked the Australian.
"Indefinite meaning, OK, it might be a year because a lot of issues have got to be resolved? That's the word you've kind of got to drill in on."
That is a exercise currently being undertaken by so many tournament organisers around the globe.
Perhaps, none are doing so quite as optimistically as those at the Dubai Desert Classic, who yesterday told Woods he could break European Tour rules and "decide just two days before to come". Their event is at the start of February.
If Woods's time of penance is to be taken at all seriously then surely he will need to miss at least a few months, if not one major. Sandy Lyle is of the belief that Augusta should prepare to be without their four-time champion.
"As far as the Masters is concerned in April, it looks a bit grim," he said, before talking of the necessity of a Woods return.
"He has done an awful lot for golf and the sport needs Tiger to come back He's put golf on the map."
Woods also put golf on prime-time TV, particularly in his own country. Last year, when Woods missed eight months after his ACL reconstruction, viewing figures were cut in half in America and now with tournaments sponsors leaving the PGA Tour as contracts expire the situation appears critical.
"I don't think it's going to help anything, that's for sure — especially in a recession," said Nick Price, the two-time major winner.
"It's hard enough to find sponsors out there and now to try to sell things without Tiger in the field... I hope he comes back. I hope he comes back a changed man."
What else changes around Woods will also be of interest. Focus has inevitably fallen on the role of his caddie, Steve Williams.
The New Zealander has often been described as being like an older brother to Woods; indeed the latter was the former's best man at his wedding last year. But Williams yesterday insisted he was as in the dark as anyone.
"I had no knowledge of what Tiger's indiscretion was," said Williams. "Whilst I am a very good friend of his... I don't know what he does off the course."
Peter Alliss sounds like one of those minded to believe Williams. "Tiger's got very few friends in my opinion," said the veteran BBC commentator.
"Very few people have got into the inner sanctum, so nobody really knows him. But if he doesn't play for the first six months of next year then he might have decided he's come to the end of the road.
"If we learn come the end of February that he's not going to play in The Masters at Augusta in April and maybe not in our Open Championship in July then it's getting very serious."
Indeed for American golf this could be as serious as it gets.

Rachel Zenzinger has been involved tirelessly in the community on a multitude of levels.
Rachel Zenzinger has treasured her personal interactions with citizens of District 19, and she believes those relationships have strengthened her ability to serve.
As business thrives, so thrives the community; and Rachel Zenzinger has made it a point to stay in touch.
Statement from Rachel Zenzinger re: Election Results 2016
"Thank you to the staff, volunteers, family members, and all the other people who supported or donated to this winning campaign. Senate District 19 is comprised of a large percentage of voters with moderate political views, and it seems they tipped the polls in our favor during this 2016 election. I am grateful to those voters who took the time to absorb our middle-of-the-road, commonsense messages in which we emphasized plans for collaboration at the State House. I plan to move forward quickly in the areas that we have pledged for so long to improve: education, housing, transportation, environment and measures to help middle-class families succeed, just to name a few.
"The campaign at times was divisive, partly because we have so many issues to address, with such a diversity of interests within District 19. Now it's time to put any differences behind us and work together toward common goals such as quality of life, economic growth and a promising future for our children. Thank you to my opponent in the election, Sen. Laura Woods, who ran an energetic campaign and who graciously called to wish me luck in my new job.
"In coming weeks, we will be working to tie up loose ends, update the website, and of course prepare for the start of the 2017 General Assembly Session. Eventually, this website will be the place to go whenever you need information about my activities as your new State Senator, representing Arvada and the Jefferson County side of Westminster. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the election and all the ways that we can make Arvada, Westminster and all of Colorado a great place to live."
Senate Democrats announce committee assignments
I was excited to learn that the Senate Democrats had assigned me to work on the Senate Education Committee, and then added assignment to the Senate Transportation Committee, both effective Jan. 11 when the 71st General Assembly opens its 2016 session. As you know, my professional background is in the field of education, and I am especially passionate about doing everything we can to give our children a quality education. As I went door-to-door during the recent campaign, most of my discussions eventually touched upon the topic of education. And if it wasn't education, it was probably transportation! I know a lot of Arvada and Westminster residents are concerned about the condition of our roads and bridges, and where we might find the funds to improve those conditions.
I have also been assigned to participate on an interim panel called the Student Safety and Youth in Crisis Committee. If you have thoughts about some advancements we might be able to make on any of these three committees, please don't hesitate to contact me at email@example.com.

The achiever
How Dr. Spirtos became among the best in his field: Slowly, steadily and thoroughly
Drive, ethics,teamwork, striving for excellence … if it sounds like training for the Olympics, there's a good reason why.
Nicola Spirtos counts 18 doctors in his family, which hails from a town next to the Greek island of Kos, home of Hippocrates, the father of medicine. It's not that Spirtos had no other choice than to become a doctor; it's more accurate to say he was never really aware of any other choices.
Spirtos will proudly show you a photo of his father, George Spirtos, the only short-pants-clad 14-year-old in the class of young men entering Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1930.
"I don't know if my dad ever said, 'You have to be a doctor,'" the son now says. "But I'll tell you what he did say: 'Whatever you're going to be, you better damn well be the best.'"
This approach translated into a work ethic so intense that, in the 1990s, Spirtos called out fellow medical researchers at Stanford University whom he caught publishing inaccurate data. When he was told his actions would open him to similar scrutiny, Spirtos' response amounted to, "Bring it on."
In 1992, he began research on laparoscopy, a non-invasive technique, in gynecological surgery. It was a new millennium by the time he and his team had run statistics through the National Cancer Institute, performed feasibility trials, performed randomized trials comparing laparoscopy to traditional surgery, waited for data to mature and published results in 2009.
"It takes that long to do it right. I am really proud of the fact that we did it right and took no shortcuts," says Spirtos, now known as the regional authority in gynecological oncology.
Spirtos believes accurate data is that last bastion of patient safety, which helps explain his position as professor and director in the Gynecologic Oncology Division at the University of Nevada School Of Medicine.
And since he obviously has spare time, Spirtos also runs the Women's Cancer Center of Nevada. It made national headlines in 2009 on "60 Minutes," featured as one of the places Las Vegas cancer patients could turn to after University Medical Center closed its oncology clinic. The Women's Cancer Center started the Cash for Chemotherapy program, which aims to help uninsured and underinsured women get the treatments they need to live.
"We take care of everybody here," Spirtos says, adding, "It's not just me. There's a whole team of people who are supportive of those things. The team is on the same page, the same mantra, basically."
That mantra? "The ethical treatment of patients with surgical excellence, and always continuing to learn" he says — just the kind of slogan you'd want from the team that's competing to save your life.

Can anyone point me in a direction?
Thank you.
On my phone so I can't give links. But you need safestrap. It's a bootstrap that will essentially allow your phone to boot into recovery even with the locked bootloader.
Safestrap is unique because it does not touch your primary system. You can back it up, but you flash everything to a "safe" system. It is ideal because no matter what you doing to your safe system, your primary will always be there. Even if you flash something that you know will brick your phone, all that will happen is that you won't be able to boot into your safe system. You can still load up your custom recovery and switch back to your primary system where you can download a different ROM.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Ok. So far I can understand that the Moto Droid 3 has a locked boot loader which can not be unlocked. Correct?
I can understand using a bootstrap instead. Can someone explain what happens to your first system when the safe mode is turned on? Does it move the contents into the available internal SD card? What kind of memory is emmc? Also, I'm not clear on what is hijack. Is that just the initial hack from the apk on 1st system? I assume one can install it again in the 2nd system and mess things up.

Checkup confirms no surgery for A-Rod
Checkup confirms no surgery for A-Rod
The Yankees superstar had an intermediate procedure performed in March and it was thought to be probable at the time that he would need to go back under the knife following the season. But Dr. Marc Philippon told A-Rod on Monday that he is strong enough to begin preparing for 2010.
"Basically, he was very excited by my MRI," Rodriguez said. "He examined me and said no surgery is needed. I'm going to check in a couple of times next year, but it's great news. I've got the green light to move forward with my conditioning program."
Rodriguez returned to New York's lineup in early May and hit .286 with 30 home runs and 100 RBIs in the regular season, then batted .365 with six homers and 18 RBIs in the playoffs as the Yankees secured their 27th World Series championship -- Rodriguez's first.
Philippon did not guarantee that Rodriguez will not eventually need the surgery, but A-Rod should be able to at least get through 2010 without another trip to the doctor's offices in Vail, Colo.
"You can't say 'ever,' but I think he is saying for the immediate future, whether it's one, two, or three years from now," Rodriguez said. "Obviously we'll have to keep an eye on it for the next couple of years. But I can move forward and continue to have an offseason with my full conditioning program."
Rodriguez took about a month off after the World Series to allow his hip to heal before the MRI, and started a light conditioning program two weeks ago. He threw on Wednesday for the first time since Game 6 of the Fall Classic.
"It's been nice having a chance to let it soak in a little bit," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez said that Philippon will come to Spring Training and might need to see the third baseman at the All-Star break, but Rodriguez said he should be free of any "Philippon rules" as far as taking mandated days off late in the season.
"Ideally, we won't have to worry about that," Rodriguez said. "I think overall you still have to be aware of the situation."
One idea that could help keep Rodriguez fresh is using a revolving door of designated hitters, with Hideki Matsui now subtracted and no replacement yet on site. Rodriguez said that he would be in favor of such an arrangement, a thought he said that has also been conveyed to Mark Teixeira.
"I think DH is an important tool," said Rodriguez. "It's nice to have that like a revolving door. We have some veteran players that would all like to stay in the lineup daily. I've talked to Tex about this, and we'd both love to once a month DH and take it from there."

New Hampshire Needs $3 Billion in Water Related Infrastructure in Next Decade
- Published in Community Announcements
PLYMOUTH — New Hampshire needs to revitalize its water system infrastructure over the next decade or it faces a crisis affecting the state's economy. That according to John Gilbert, chairman of the N.H. Water Council, who spoke at Plymouth State University's New Hampshire Water and Watershed Conference March 21. Gilbert reported that it will cost $2.9 billion over ten years to repair the state's aging and overburdened waste and storm water treatment plants, potable water utilities and underground piping. He believes inaction will create major problems.
"It is difficult to predict what would precipitate a water crisis," Gilbert said. "Maybe the southeast corner of the state could stop development because there is not enough water, or the Boston Metro area may need more water than the Quabbin Reservoir can provide and propose a big pipeline to get their water from the North Country. We don't want to say the sky is falling, but we're already seeing problems and they will get much worse within ten years. We need to start chipping away at this."
Gilbert is also a member of New Hampshire Lives on Water Project, a group of volunteers that is trying to build a coalition of citizens to advocate for maintaining long term sustainability of the water resources. Gilbert believes citizen advocates are crucial in moving the state toward sustained attention to addressing the problem, because of the short-term focus of the political system.
"I think it's unlikely the legislature will embrace this in the first instance, which is why we talk about needing develop a very broad based constituency that keeps pushing the legislature forward," Gilbert said. "I like the idea of trusting the public because they've shown remarkably sophisticated understanding when they've been given the background information; the public is going to have to lead the legislature on this."
Gilbert also said recent changes in severe weather show New Hampshire's storm water systems need upgrading, and doing so could actually save money because it could prevent costly property damage, like road and bridge washouts.
The New Hampshire Water Infrastructure Funding Commission recently released a report with suggestions on funding water related projects.
Dr. Joseph Boyer, Director of Plymouth State's Center for the Environment, said the institution will work with state officials in finding solutions to water concerns.
"We expect the Center for the Environment will continue to act as a resource in facilitating future public policy development and water issues," Boyer said. "We would like to thank all of the conference participants for their continued commitment to this important topic."
The day-long conference at PSU featured more than 40 talks addressing current water related research as well as effective strategies at the local, regional, state, and federal levels about changing environmental and societal conditions and their effects on New Hampshire's water resources and aquatic environment. Specific topics included watershed planning, restoration, and management; education and outreach; ecosystem services of lakes, rivers, and watersheds; coordinating a response to climate change; and water quality and quantity.

Apparently, he was being ironic. It's like that time I had 10000 spoons when all I needed was a knife.
Which would only be ironic if I needed the knife to stab a Clarkson-wannabe editor of a free magazine. Or something.
I read that as a comment on the whole country's view of cycling.
This country generally f#^%ing hates cyclists. Then the TdF and the Olympics came along, Britain's done well,all the plebs are cheering.
Olympics over, back to normal.
Very insightful on his part. He is a cyclist, I take it?
Loads of local cycle related business have redraw adverts from the mag now. And it's all been kicking off on twitter all day about it.
His statement isn't so bad I suppose when you see it in context, but if you substituted 'cyclists' for Jews / black people / asians, then you think how offensive it is.
At least if he gets sacked that will be one less Chelsea (Richmond) tractor jamming the roads up in rush hour!

AKRON, Ohio -- In the spring, we make our homes light and airy -- cleaning to get rid of the clutter. The idea was to lighten the load indoors so there's more time for fun in the sun. Now with winter just around the corner, making the house warm and cozy is the goal.
Some people spend a lot of time and energy finding the perfect piece for a table. It often wonderfully matches their color scheme, but they never change it and, after a while, it becomes stale and boring. So, continue to look to nature for decorating tips.
If you have seasonal magazines, place them on the table. Minor accessory changes will make the room look completely different.
Candy dishes are another fun way to make your decorating look fresh. Think of things like candy corn for the fall, Christmas goodies for December and jelly beans for Easter.
Adding an area rug this time of year is a good way to visually warm up the room while having a little fun.
"I have three rugs for my kitchen," Pesce said. "A wonderful Christmas one with toy soldiers, an orange and black one with pumpkins and bats, and a general one that's in the right colors."
Remember to use color and pattern for the winter. A wonderful patchwork bedspread that has multiple colors in it is one way to change the whole look of a bedroom.
Again, it's worth repeating -- making changes seasonally makes a house fun.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Extremely low birthweight infants (ELBW) who received feedings supplemented with probiotics had better weight gain than infants who were not given the supplements, according to a randomized, controlled, double-blind study to be presented Saturday, May 1 at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Probiotics, which means "for life" in Latin, are healthy, live organism supplements that provide benefit to the host. Their effect on digestive health and immune function has been studied. However, the safety and efficacy of probiotic supplementation in ELBW infants has not been explored thoroughly.
In this study, Mohamad Al-Hosni, MD, and colleagues from three medical centers, in collaboration with Vermont Oxford Network, evaluated the effect of supplementing enteral (tube) feedings with probiotics in extremely premature infants who weighed 2 pounds, 2 ounces or less. They hypothesized that infants who received probiotic-supplemented feedings would tolerate larger volumes of feeding per day, grow faster and require fewer days of antimicrobial treatment than those in the control group.
Fifty infants received 500 million colony-forming units (CFU) of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and 500 million CFU of Bifidobacterium infantis in enteral feedings once a day until discharge or 34 weeks postmenstrual age. Fifty-one infants received feedings with no probiotics.
Results showed superior weight gain in infants who received the probiotics even though the average daily volume of their feedings was less than infants in the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in other complications of prematurity such as sepsis or necrotizing enterocolitis. In addition, no side effects were seen as a result of probiotic supplementation, according to Dr. Al-Hosni, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Saint Louis University School of Medicine in the division of neonatal-perinatal medicine at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center.
"These findings strongly suggest that probiotic supplementation to enteral feedings plays a major role in feeding tolerance and nutrient absorption," he said. "Improved tolerance of feedings and nutrient absorption lead to better weight gain in this extremely premature infant group."
Dr. Al-Hosni concluded that larger clinical trials are needed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of probiotic supplementation to enteral feeding in this group of infants.

RALEIGH - There is good news and bad news when it comes to employment in North Carolina, according to data released Wednesday by the N.C. Division of Employment Security. Unemployment is down in all 14 metro areas in North Carolina, but most of the job growth has occurred in the lowest wage sector - leisure and hospitality. This comes as new poverty statistics for North Carolina show the state's poverty rate is higher than the national average.

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, commonly referred to as dry eye or KCS, can affect both humans and dogs. The standard of care in treating KCS typically includes daily administration of eye drops to either stimulate tear production or to hydrate and lubricate the corneal surface. Lubricating eye drops are often applied four to six times daily for the life of the patient. In order to reduce this dosing regimen yet still provides sufficient hydration and lubrication, we have developed a crosslinked hydrogel based on a modified, thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA), xCMHA-S. This xCMHA-S gel was found to have different viscosity and rheologic behavior than solutions of noncrosslinked HA. The gel was also able to increase tear breakup time in rabbits, indicating a stabilization of the tear film. Further, in a preliminary clinical study of dogs with KCS, the gel significantly reduced the symptoms associated with KCS within two weeks while only being applied twice daily. The reduction of symptoms combined with the low dosing regimen indicates that this gel may lead to both improved patient health and owner compliance in applying the treatment.

World heritage
Santiago de Compostela was proclaimed the first European Cultural itinerary by the Council of Europe in 1987. This route from the French-Spanish border was - and still is - taken by pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. Some 1,800 buildings along the route, both religious and secular, are of great historic interest. The route played a fundamental role in encouraging cultural exchanges between the Iberian peninsula and the rest of Europe during the Middle Ages. It remains a testimony to the power of the Christian faith among people of all social classes and from all over Europe.

These silkworm cocoons were used as part of Louis Pasteur's investigation into the diseases of silkworms at Pont Gisquet, southern France, from 1865-1870. Silkworms were important to the French economy for the production of silk and an epidemic disease had been killing them in vast numbers. After five years of research he discovered that the disease was in fact two separate infections caused by parasites. He advised that all infected silkworms should be isolated and destroyed. Following his advice the disease was eliminated and the French silk industry flourished. The cocoons are shown here with Louis Pasteur's microscope (A60510).

@ About, Gameplay @
This game is for all the gamers who love that little number next to your gamertag, it has the easiest achievements i have ever seen, simple things like completing the game can earn triple figure gamerscore just by collecting various achievements on the way to the final mission. The longevity of the game is great - tons of missions and theres a truck load of collectables to get whilst trying to build your favourite weapons by collecting blueprint pieces. There is a lot of humour in the game and random bizarre characters such as spaghetti tornados and gigantic steak pies which make the game that little more unique.
The missions are relatively straight forward and levels don't have areas where you can go wrong or get lost, they are just one way levels you can walk to the end. (whilst encountering evil food on the way) so chances are you wont need a guide for this game. I have never experienced any glitches or errors in the game and the map is very smooth without broken objects like morphed objects thanks to poor programming, everything is solid and you wont permanently miss out on collectables, you can a,ways go back through each mission to get what you need. Having said that on level 1 there is a collectable you can get until you near the end of the game because you need the upgraded food vacuum.
@ Graphics, Sound, Physics @
Graphics on this are full HD and are very sharp, crisp and clear. There is not much attention to detail though since you cant zoom in on objects, and the background is constant repeat of a moving picture like a town or blue sky. When you break objects you do get shards and shrapnel break off of them but they wont land on the floor and stay there they simply fall through the floor and disappear.
Sound is not realistic but this is a kids game so it does not really matter as much as say, Forza 4. Spaghetti does not make a twanging sound when you stretch it with a fork it just breaks off, but in this game it does make a sound similar to this, and various other foods make odd noises. Gummy bears squeak for example... Overall the actual quality of sound is great, no distortion or bad noise
Physics are again not good but its a cartoon so anything can happen. Jumping off a cliff takes a while for you to fall to the ground and running on a slippery surface is highly unrealistic but the walls and floor have good physics because of the way objects bounce off them or interact with them, nothing special here.
@ Overall @
If this is a game for a child then perfect, they will love this but if you're serious about gaming then this is not the game for you. Also, if you just want easy gamer points then yes, this is also for you, but you will need to a put a little effort in to get the collectables.

Joining the dots between a group of disgruntled young neo tonal composers called "The Hecklers" booing during the applauds of a work they find atonally reactionary at The Royal Opera House in 1994 and the cutting edge geo-politics of the early 21st century may not appear easy, yet that link is what connects the two libel cases I have fought. It is also what connects the reading of a new play The Trainer, cowritten by me, at the Hackney Empire on Thursday 21 May and the premiere[pdf] of my new orchestral work, Quest, the last movement from my Symphony No 1 Elixir at the St Jude's Proms in June.
That linking factor is freedom of expression.
The first case arose when, some time after the booing protest, I was accused in The Times in 1997 of having organised gangs to wreck concerts of atonal music. As a lifelong professional musician and son of two professional musicians, the idea of wrecking someone else's concert is anathema to me – and the accusation was untrue. I won the ensuing libel case hands down but the victory was not just for me personally – it was against forces determined to limit free expression by the oppression of lies to discredit. The struggle to establish a new tonal music after a century dominated by atonalism will be long and hard, but it is the struggle to return to humanity one of its greatest voices of self-expression, the communal art form of music.
The translation of this domain of freedom to the still greater domain of politics and morality was seamless when in 2003 Welsh playwright Dic Edwards and I wrote Manifest Destiny, our opera which is a vision of reconciliation and love between all cultures conveyed via the metaphor of suicide bombers becoming peace makers. Somehow this got "deliberately misunderstood" as glorifying suicide bombing in a review in the Evening Standard and I again found I had to sue for libel since this time I was not only defamed for applauding mass murder just after 7/7 but was incriminated under new laws that made glorification of terrorism a criminal offence.
The Court of Appeal, however, overturned a high court verdict that the case should be heard by jury and charged me for legal fees of £70,000.
I was bankrupted by Associated Newspapers and the Official Receiver seized ownership of my works as an asset until the court fees are paid. I was allegedly no longer the owner of my music and Manifest Destiny was supposedly the intellectual property of the newspaper whom it had offended. The state, it seemed, had confiscated my works and I don't remember that happening even to Shostakovich.
Again I had fought for free expression – and civil liberty – this time against the oppression of neo conservative forces. However, when politics clashes with justice, it is said, politics wins and so it seems.
Yet the power of art is endless and, while the case goes on to the European court of human rights, a play has been produced, The Trainer, about my trial which incorporates excerpts from our opera Manifest Destiny.
The Trainer can be seen at the Hackney Empire on Thursday 21 May.

I'm not optimistic given what I've read while googling and searching these forums, but has anyone managed to get any kind of sorting working in the built in Sharp Addressbook? My Trisoft manual suggests that if you press the ABC tab then the data will get sorted, but this doesn't work for me. Has anyone tried installing the addressbook from the 6000?
I was considering writing a script to use dtm2xml to export the data, sort it, then re-import it. Anyone tried that before?

Hi rob_figlabs,
Not sure if it's the same problem but check out this thread Sorting problem in AddressBook on 3k where you can find the file addressbook.so I provided from my 6k and apparently it solved the sorting problem.
Hope it works

I'd tried the addressbook.so that came from your 6000 (thanks for posting it BTW). After a reboot this made the tabs appear in English, all nicely spaced and with a wide search area. However, the sorting wasn't working.
I just tried the files posted on Shirtpocket's web site. First I installed liben.so.1.1.0 and rebooted. On it's own this made no difference. I then replaced your addressbook.so with theirs (which is 632 bytes bigger). After a reboot, the tabs are in English, but huddled very close together in the centre of the screen, and the search bar is laughably small. Having said all this, sorting now works!
Anyone out there have any luck with the addressbook.so that came from scheck.r 's machine? Anyone know where the Shirtpocket files came from?

Technical Considerations in Rehabilitation of an Edentulous Total Glossectomy Patient
Department of Dental and Prosthetic Surgery, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai 400 012, India
Received 5 July 2011; Accepted 14 December 2011
Academic Editor: Pilar Hita-Iglesias

The technician by virtue of his profession plays an important role in fabricating silicone tongue prosthesis for a total glossectomy patient. The technician, with his skills and specialized knowledge in handling material, plays a valuable role as a member of the oncology team. A patient with total glossectomy can be rehabilitated by silicone tongue prosthesis as an aid to improve his speech and swallowing. This paper describes the technical steps involved in fabricating a silicone tongue prosthesis for an edentulous total glossectomy patient.
1. Introduction
Oncologic management of advanced carcinoma of the tongue is a difficult medical problem that can create serious treatment dilemmas. Often criticized as a treatment option because of the severe functional sequelae, total glossectomy may sometimes be the treatment of choice.
Tongue prosthesis occupies the space in the floor of the oral cavity. It provides the patient with a platform for directing food into the esophagus and aids in speaking.
This paper describes the technical steps involved in prosthetic management of an edentulous patient (EP) who underwent total glossectomy with a prosthesis made of silicone tongue (fabricated with molloplast-B) attached to mandibular complete denture.
EP reported with ulceroproliferative growth on tongue (T4N2aMx). He underwent near total glossectomy with modified neck dissection with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap reconstruction. Postoperatively, he received radiotherapy (4600 Gy) only.
The patient complained of difficulty in eating and swallowing with no complaint of aspiration. He was on liquid diet without ryles tube. After completion of one year of radiation, the intraoral tissues healed to withstand prosthetic intervention on clinical examination. In view of total surgical excision of the tongue and completely edentulous state of the upper and lower jaws, tongue prosthesis was planned for the patient (Figures 1 and 2).
2. Procedure
Step 1. Mucocompressive impression was made of an upper edentulous arch using impression compound and mucostatic impression was made of lower edentulous arch and floor of the mouth using irreversible hydrocolloid impression material by a maxillofacial prosthodontist. The disinfected impressions were then sent to the dental laboratory.
Step 2. The diagnostic casts/primary casts were obtained. Custom trays were fabricated on upper and lower edentulous primary casts with autopolymerizing acrylic resin.
Step 3. Border molding using low fusing impression compound was done, and secondary impressions of upper and lower edentulous arch with zinc oxide eugenol impression paste using selective pressure impression technique were made (Figure 3). Stock tray was then used to make a pick-up impression of this (only mandibular arch) and to record floor of the mouth together as a single impression (irreversible hydrocolloid impression).
Step 4. The impressions were disinfected and poured with type III dental stone to obtain master cast.
Step 5. On the master cast, temporary record bases were made using autopolymerizing acrylic resin, which were tried in patient's mouth to check retention and stability.
Step 6. On the temporary record bases, occlusal rims were made to record maxilla-mandibular relation and the teeth arrangement was done following recording of jaw relation.
Step 7. Wax up of tongue prosthesis [1] was done on the temporary record bases, which was contoured in the shape of a tongue that conforms to oral cavity dimensions with rounded edges (Figure 4).
The tongue tip was arched inferiorly to approximately a 15-degree angle, and the entire pattern was then arched slightly to form the highest point at the anterior one third.
Wax pattern was then folded to form a wide central V-shaped angle (approximately 160 degrees). The wax was reduced 4 to 5 mm of thickness at the base and the posterior two thirds.
The wax pattern was finally sealed to the lower trial denture.
Step 8. The waxed up prosthesis was then tried in patients mouth. (Figure 5) The speech therapist evaluated the speech articulation with the waxed up tongue (WT) for maximum contact of the dorsum with palate for optimum articulation.
Step 9. Processing of silicone tongue prosthesis: flasking and dewaxing was done for the waxed up upper and lower prosthesis in conventional manner (Figures 6 and 7).
At the packing stage, the heat temperature vulcanizing silicone (Molloplast-B, Regneri GmbH & Co.KG, W-Germany) was packed in tongue space (Figure 8).
Trial closure was done and excess molloplast material was removed.
Heat cure denture base resin was packed in edentulous ridge space (Figure 9).
The flask was closed and kept for overnight bench curing.
Curing of the prosthesis was done as per manufacturer instructions.
After deflasking, the prosthesis was trimmed, finished, and polished (Figures 10 and 11).
3. Discussion
Swallowing and speaking by prosthodontic management of glossectomy patient is a difficult undertaking for both the prosthodontist and the patient. Particular considerations should be given to the patient's chief complaints when planning treatment for the glossectomy patient. A patient may be able to accommodate to some dysfunction without prosthetic support, while desiring prosthetic treatment helps to improve or correct other specific problems [2].
A wide buccolingual table, an occlusal table height matched to that of the tongue body, and a closely adhering tongue and lingual flange are effective means of preventing the food from dropping to the oral floor, keeping the food on the occlusal table, and crushing the food.
When constructed in a systematic manner with the assistance of a speech pathologist, the mandibular tongue prosthesis can achieve the following [3]:(1)reduction in the size of the oral cavity, thereby improving resonance characteristics,(2)direction of food into the esophagus with the aid of a trough carved into the prosthetic tongue,(3) protection of the underlying fragile tissue,(4) development of a surface for the residual tongue tissue to contact during speech and swallowing,(5)improvement in appearance and psychosocial adjustment.
In this EP, after fabrication of the tongue prosthesis swallowing improved. Liquid diet was replaced with semisolids without difficulty and apparent aspiration (Figures 12 and 13).
Improvement in speech was also observed. Without tongue prosthesis, he was substituting labiodentals and vowels for fricative and palatal sounds. After using prosthesis for six months, fricative and palatal sounds improved audibly.
The material used to fabricate tongue prosthesis, silicone (Molloplast-B, Molloplast, Regneri GmbH @ Co, W- Germany), permanent soft relining material, has several advantages [4]:(i)single component, ready to use eliminating mixing and dosing errors,(ii)easy processing,(iii)can be polymerized simultaneously with acrylic,(iv)stands the influences of oral environment without deterioration,(v)nonirritant and tissue compatible,(vi)odourless and tasteless.
4. Summary
The paper describes technical steps for the prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous glossectomy patient, in which treatment dentures were constructed with mandibular tongue prosthesis and the appropriate denture form and occlusion was established.
The prosthetic tongue may not replace the intricately mobile structure of the tongue, which is capable of infinite movements in swallowing and speech. The silicone tongue prosthesis does provide glossectomy patient with a certain degree of comfort and function.

Joe Simpson, with just his partner, Simon Yates, tackled the unclimbed West Face of the remote 21,000-foot Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in June of 1995. But before they reached the summit, disaster struck.
A few days later, Simon staggered into Base Camp, exhausted and frostbitten, to tell their non-climbing companion that Joe was dead. For three days he wrestled with guilt as they prepared to return home. Then a cry in the night took them out with torches, where they found Joe, badly injured, crawling through the snowstorm in a delirium.
Far from causing Joe's death, Simon had paradoxically saved his friend's life. What happened, and how they dealt with the psychological traumas that resulted when Simon was forced into the appalling decision to cut the rope, makes not only an epic of survival but a compelling testament of friendship.
©1988 Joe Simpson (P)2012 Random House Audiobooks
"Wonderfully told true story"
Too often, books written based on a true story include too much hyperbole in turning the main character into a hero that did nothing wrong. This story is raw, and honest, and believable, and really well told.
The best part about this story is that it's true. No really, it's true. As you join Simpson in this tale, you'll find yourself saying "no way," but wow, it really happened.
The end of this story wrapped it up so well for me. I won't spoil anything in case you don't already know what happens, but I'll say, that any questions I had were answered by the end.
Whether you are a skier, a hiker, a mountaineer, or just love a great story about human strength and endurance, you'll love this story.
"Frightening, emotional & heart-warming true story!"
I saw the movie and have never been able to get the story out of my mind. Touching the Void is a true story, a miracle of sorts--a mountaineer left for dead by his climbing partner and his incredible struggle to live. I have always wondered how this could have happened and more particularly, how Joe and Simon felt about what happened. Specifically, how did Joe Simpson feel about his climbing partner after the ordeal? How did Simon Yates react when he learned Joe was still alive when he abandoned him. You can't rely on a movie to tell the real story but you can rely on this book's narrative. It includes segments also by Joe's climbing partner, Simon Yates.
This is an incredible story, beautifully written and very moving. The narration was excellent and I highly recommend this book.
"Captivating Story"
Given to me by a climber friend. Awesome insight into that extreme sport.
Captivating story told in alternating first person. I want to see the documentary next.
"Gutrenching dilemma"
It's a tedious start until the disaster, but the rest of the story is riveting!
"This book was twice as long as it needed to be."
This book could have been written in half the words. The listener doesn't care about every rock Joe or Simon stops at. I recommend the video.
"Liked this ALOT!"
Very good first person account of the harrowing True story of one man story of survival in the Swiss Alps.
The book did not hesitate to jump right in to the life changing , harrowing event , and did not waste anytime on the typical and sometimes boring backgrounds of the climbers or the family , which has its pro and cons.
It does maintain its pace throughout even for those who are not familiar with the sport of climbing. I sucked right in and felt the bitter -20° windchill with them as it was recounted detail by mind chilling detail.
It's a quick and interesting read and I promise you will have mixed feelings in the end about what you consider "right" thing vs "moral" thing and I still wonder what I would have done. So I think the book has left a mark , as long as I have a question then I am sure this book will stick with me for quite some time to come.
We only have one life... Amazingly most of us just cruise through it... Complaining about the mundane. Nearly losing everything enables true perspective!
"Great story and performance!"
One of the greatest true adventure stories! This is the best mountaineering book that I've heard on audible.
"Best audiobook so far for me"
Felt like I was there. Highly recommend to anyone interested in survival stories. I looked forward to listening every day until it was finished.
"Fantastic listen/read"
This book is one of the most inspiring books i have listened to and the naration is first class cant recomend it highly enough
"A harrowing listen that will keep you gripped"
A truly amazing account of survival that will keep you listening to the end and stay with you long after.
"Don't listen whilst driving!"
Touching the Void had me hooked from chapter one. I often listened in my car which thinking about it was not so clever as there would be periods of excitement that knocked my concentration from driving!
It's a brilliant story that had me on the edge, made me squirm with thought and almost feel Joe Simpsons desperation.
A must read for anyone who likes real story's told truthfully by the person who experienced them.
"Much for all of us to learn!"
An excellent read and amazing journey of strength. The way the author survived, setting small goals, going step by step, despite the disabilities he suffered, is amazing, and a lesson for us all. Truly gives illustration of the saying "A million mile journey begins with the first step". There are many issues missed in the the film, that have been covered by the book. Including insights during the incident, what happened after the characters were reunited, and the participants reflection over what went wrong. Much of the lessons learnt can be applied to our own lives. A great listen!
"Well written and read Audiobook"
As I listened to this book at work to relieve the monotony that can come with working on my own, it teaches me one important lesson......watch your bloody step!
"Well written and enthralling epic"
From the very first minute you will be captivated. A truly amazing adventure story, a real classic.
"extreme expériences."
It's a heartfelt retelling of one of the most desperate struggles for life you are ever likely to read.
Gripping tale of survival
Didn't really notice it which is probably the highest praise
I listened to this in the car and was happy when I hit red lights as it meant my journey and thus listening time was longer
"immersive and gripping narrative"
A powerful narrative of how quickly things can go wrong, but also of how one can pull through and survive.
"Fantastic Listen"
Riveting story from start to finish, even for a completely non mountaineer. "Inspirational" and "puts things in perspective" are overused phrases but more than relevant here. Great narration too.

This year, Escondido Library literacy program coordinator Jo Jones is looking to find the best Scrabble players in North County. Next year, she hopes that some of the learners from the program will be able to compete in the Scrabble-Thon, which debuts Saturday.
About 25 Scrabblers (is that a word?) have signed up so far for the first competition, which will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the library's Turrentine Room. Scrabble players ages 14 and up are invited to sign up as individuals or teams of four, pursuing bragging rights and trophies for the winners.
The Scrabble-Thon was Jones' idea, born out of a desire to go beyond the previous Trivia Bee, to create an event in which literacy learners could someday compete.
"What could we do to get them involved?" asked Jones. "Scrabble. It's a word game. That's how I became a master of language, playing with my mother."
The tournament features high school and adult divisions in a double-elimination format. Entry fee is $20. Entry deadline is Thursday.
The event also features a raffle for a variety of prizes ranging up to two tickets to anywhere Southwest Airlines flies. The public is invited to drop by the library beginning Monday to enter the raffles. Call (760) 747-2233.
Homecoming: Marty Tiedeman, who manages the Escondido ArtAssociation's Artists Gallery, found that sometimes you can go homeagain.
Tiedeman's mother, Louise Fritz Cook, nearing 85, had expressed a desire to make a trip back to her birthplace of Douglas, Ariz. Cook's parents had homesteaded in Douglas in 1910, and her father died suddenly in 1928 when Cook was 8.
With no money and seven children, Tiedeman said, her grandfather was buried in an unmarked pauper's grave. When her mother said she wanted to visit Arizona, Tiedeman wandered around the Internet and actually found information about her grandfather.
Taking that information to the cemetery in Douglas, the family was able to find the unmarked burial spot of Cook's father, providing closure after 76 years. Tiedeman and her brother bought a stone to mark the grave.
They also visited the original homestead and found two walls standing from the family's adobe house and a working well that Cook's father had built. "It was a very neat personal experience. For my mom, it was very special," Tiedeman said.

I was so gently reminded this morning that not only is today the 22nd day of December but it is also December 22, 2012 which is exactly 68 years from December 22, 1944.
What's so special about December 22, 1944 and what do NUTS have to do with it?
Well, that is the day that an event of epic proportions took place and the word "Nuts" played a huge role.
Let me take you back in time a bit.
Fresh off the heels of the Allied invasion of Europe just a mere six months earlier, then past fighting along the French hedgerows and then the Liberation of Paris. It seemed that US and Allied Forces were going to hit Berlin faster than anyone imagined. That is until they entered the BENELUX (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) region of Europe then things started to slow down. The German forces started to feel that their backs were to the wall and they were not prepared to let any foreign invaders enter their country. So they "amped" up operations and really tried to put it to the ALLIES.
It was not until the winter started to settle in. Trust me folks, if you have never experienced a winter in Europe you really would not begin to understand just how much of a game changer the weather is, but I digress (only a little).
OK, so the US Forces are making their way to the small but critical crossroads right in the middle of a town in southeastern Belgium; Bastogne. They were somewhat rather swiftly encircled by fast moving German forces that were intent on cutting off the supply lines of the Allied Forces, in what they hoped would turn the tide of the war in favor of the German Forces.
So the two forces met at Bastogne with the German Forces taking the upperhand and surround the US Forces. It was late December and as I mentioned the weather was not cooperating making air drops almost impossible. Thus as the ensuing battle raged ammo, food, medicine and cool weather gear were running out or non-existent. Nothing demoralizes the fighting man more than lack of bullets, beans, and band aids.
By the 22nd of December the US Forces were starting to think that everything was lost as they were surrounded by the enemy, supplies were running out, and their leaders had forgotten about them, until. Until under a white flag a small contingent of German Soldiers (two officers and two enlisted) the following ultimatum to Gen. McAuliffe:
To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne.
The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Our near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands.
There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A. troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.
If this proposal should be rejected one German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hours term.
All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well-known American humanity.
The German Commander.
The response by General Anthony McAuliffe had to be something that not only seemed rational, considering the situation but also fair to all the men under his command. Thus his response was simple and to the point:
Once word of Gen. McAuliffe's response to the Germans got out the morale of each and every soldier shot up. Those the situation was hopeless that one word changed the outcome of the war. It offered enough motivation to each soldier to hold on just a little bit longer. The weather finally cleared up a few days later and air drops of supplies were accomplished. That along with reinforcements from Patton's 3rd Army arrived to help break the siege of Bastogne and return the allied advancement towards Berlin. About five months later, the war in Europe comes to an end.
As we approach Christmas 2012, please take a moment to remember the men and women that have served and are serving in defense of our nation. As you are at home warm and cosy getting ready to enjoy your Christmas and New Years, be grateful that men like those that were in Bastogne 68 years ago who sacrificed so much that we may be here today.
Merry Christmas! and NUTS!!!

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 16 (UPI) -- Yahoo! announced Monday it has lured Marissa Mayer away from Google to become the Internet search engine's president and chief executive officer.
Mayer, who will join Yahoo!'s Board of Directors, will start her new duties July 17.
Yahoo! said in a release posted on its Web site the appointment of Mayer signals a renewed focus on product innovation.
"I am honored and delighted to lead Yahoo!, one of the Internet's premier destinations for more than 700 million users," Mayer said. "I look forward to working with the company's dedicated employees to bring innovative products, content and personalized experiences to users and advertisers all around the world."
Mayer was responsible for Google's suite of local and geographical products, including Google Maps, Google Earth, Zagat, Street View and local search. She was Google's 20th employee when she joined the Internet search engine company in 1999.
She oversaw development of many of Google's most top products, including its flagship search product and homepage, Yahoo! said.
Yahoo! credited Mayer with launching more than 100 features and products, including image, book and product search, toolbar, iGoogle, Google News and Gmail that give Google much of the "look and feel" its users experience.
"Marissa is a well-known, visionary leader in user experience and product design and one of Silicon Valley's most exciting strategists in technology development," Yahoo! Co-Founder David Filo said. "I look forward to working with her to enhance Yahoo's product offerings for our over 700 million unique monthly visitors."
Yahoo! board Chairman Fred Amoroso said the board "unanimously agreed that Marissa's unparalleled track record in technology, design, and product execution makes her the right leader for Yahoo! at this time of enormous opportunity."
Mayer holds an undergraduate degree and masters from Stanford University, specializing in artificial intelligence. She is credited as an inventor on several patents.
"Yahoo!'s products will continue to enhance our partnerships with advertisers, technology and media companies, while inspiring and delighting our users. There is a lot to do and I can't wait to get started," Mayer said.
