Eleven NHS hospital trusts have been placed in special measures following the report from NHS England boss Bruce Keogh on 14 hospital trusts with high death rates.
Specialist 'hit squads' will target the worst affected hospital trusts and take over from poor management that has cost lives and caused unnecessary deaths.
Examples of poor care and mismanagement included patients left unmonitored in corridors, high numbers of preventable accidents and families feeding and cleaning patients who had been ignored by nurses despite pressing their emergency buzzers.
Health inspectors who reviewed the hospital trusts even had to step in to prevent harm coming to patients whilst on duty. Two operating theatres were shut down immediately during an inspection because they were deemed so unsafe. Another inspector assisted with one patient who was being ignored due to nurses who 'lacked compassion'.
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt announced on Tuesday that teams will be put in place in eleven hospital trusts following the report by Professor Bruce Keogh.
Hunt, speaking in the House of Commons, said: "We have taken swift and tough action to make sure these hospitals are given all necessary support to improve.
"We owe it to the three million people who use the NHS every week to tackle and confront mediocrity and inadequate leadership head on."
Sir Bruce Keogh's team of inspectors highlighted areas that needed to be addressed immediately to control the unnecessary harm towards patients.
Sir Keogh said: "Not one of these trusts has been given a clean bill of health by my review teams.
"These reviews have been highly rigorous and uncovered previously undisclosed problems. This is a very difficult day for the NHS because we are laying bare some truths."
The 11 trusts in special measures are:
Health insurance can let you choose which hospital you are treated at and can provide you with your own private room if you are ill.

A great service from the initial call, to finalising the agreement. I would highly recommend to my family and friends.
Proactive, efficient, and offered me insurance I need. I would say half price I would end up paying if I did it by myself. Many thanks.
Excellent service. Explained everything in detail and really helped to find the right insurance best suited to my needs - which wasn't necessarily the most expensive.
Good value and the advisor was very helpful and recommended the best policy for my grandson. I would definitely use this service again and recommend to others.
We were contacted in good time to make a knowledgable choice. We were given plenty of options with lots of information to enable us to make the right choice.
The service I received was excellent, the staff member was very efficient and knowledgable. She went out of her way to get the best policy for me.
Great service. I really appreciated the help provided by Active Quote to arrange health insurance. The agent was very informative and proactive. Many thanks!
I received excellent care and attention from the first phone call till the last. Friendly, efficient and patient.
Staff are very helpful, friendly and polite. They call back when they say they will and keep you up to date with progress. Pleasure to deal with.
Very polite and friendly, and gave detailed explanations of all aspects of the cover. Reassuring to know that if you do have a problem there is someone you can contact.

What does sales training and coaching mean?
Every business deserves the best from their efforts and a little specialist help can transform results.
Most small businesses are run by people that are passionate about what they do; however, they may not be specialists in all areas and sales is one such area.
There is a myth that having the 'gift of the gab' is all it takes to sell but this could not be farther from the truth. In reality it is the person that listens properly and says what is needed that is generally more successful.
"Human behaviour flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge."
It is amazing how many small businesses will attend training for standard outsourceable services such as bookkeeping or IT but not for selling, yet this is where you can really gain the edge.
Through our sales training and coaching you will learn how to discover what your customer wants or needs and how to turn this into a sale using 'The Subtlety of Selling'™.

" Brand: ELC / Type: Bouncers "
I spotted a friend selling one of these on a online selling page so I brought it from her for my daughter who totally loves to bounce. I had kind of hoped that having her own trampoline then she'd stop using my bed as one but it still gets used to bounce on along with the trampoline. Obviously I don't mean the trampoline on the bed lol.
These trampolines are from the Early learning centre. I can't see this exact one on there but similar ones are priced £35-£45. This to me seems quite a lot when you can get the big garden ones for less then £100 these days.
This trampoline I'd say is suitable for 1-3 years old. My older son sometimes has a bounce on it but I'm sure he's going to go straight through it one day. Also he is taller and heavier and it does start to tip if he leans too much forward.
As the picture shows it has a pretty trim around it which is mainly for decor purposes. It has velcro fastening on it so can be taken off for cleaning if needed. It has a waterproof type material which would mean it would be safe left outside in the rain a couple times but wouldn't recommend leaving it outside long as I'm sure it would start to rust.
Each of the four legs have chunky rubber stoppers on them. The handle is covered with a rubber non slip grip handle. Also this would protect their head slightly if to bang it rather then straight onto the metal part.
The actual bouncy part is a fine mesh and holds my daughter fine and she happily bounces on it. I personally think she still prefers the bed though as on the trampoline you have to stay in one place on it. The outer part of the mesh which you can see in the picture which is green has a little bit of padding in it.
This has made home in my daughters bedroom and I tend to keep it against the wall so she is bouncing facing the wall, so if she did tip forward it she isn't going to fall anywhere neither is she.
In my opinion this is a good buy for me at £3 but for £45 I'm not so sure.
I always shop in Elc for my daughters toys. I find them good value for money although I know people who don't agree. I think they do always put childrens safety first which is ovviously a mothers number one priority.
My daughter received this trampoline last christmas after me asking her uncles to buy it for her. I chose this one out a) because it was from Elc and b) because it was the only one I had seen that had the padding around the edges. As it was christmas it was hard to find in the shops. They didnt have it out at all but I had seen it advertised online and hoped i would get it. I do begrudge paying £4.95 delivery with ELC.co.uk. I think this is a huge amount of money so prefer to shop instore (but we will leave that for another review). I asked the lady in ELc if she had any and to my surprise she said she had laods out the back but they just didnt keep them on the shop floor because of the time of year.
I expected to pay £25.00 for this trampoline which is what I had seen it for online but when it went through the till it came up as £20.00 and I also had a 20% off birthday voucher which meant i got it for £16.00 which I thought was a bargain (even though it wasnt from me). Most toddler trampolines I had seen had been priced way over this even for a very standard one from a supermarket.
The trampoline matches the blossom farm range at ELC. I think this is quite babyish and now she is two I think she would probably prefer something a bit more pink and grown up but at the time I brought it, it was more than fine!
The trampoline has 4 metal legs and a metal padded handle bar at the front which forms the structure of the trampoline. It then has the elasticated netting which is attached to the metal frame at various points and a padded cover to prevent any accidents on the metal frame. There is very little metal actually showing therefore forming a very soft landing should your little one fall. it is fairly small in size about 1m x 1m so is fairly easy to store in a nook or cranny. The metal legs are had rubber soles to them which grips the floor but these come loose very easily and we have actually lost 2 of ours making the trapoline uneven and unsteady.
The trampoline from what I can gather after the christmas day arguments was very very difficult to put together. Unfortunately the elastic actually isnt very elasticated and therefore makes it very hard to stretch in order to put it all together. It actually took about 2 hours to put together on christmas day in which time my little one got very impatient. I recommend putting this together before giving it as a present.
I am not entirely sure why they make the elasticated netting so tight and 'un'elasticated. It is almost not elasticated at all and there are no springs to make the trampline bouncier. Whilst I understand this is for children (age 1-3) my daughter hardly bounces on it at all and therefore became quickly bored of it and it has been sitting in the garden ever since. As far as I can tell (obviously I have not tried it out myself) the elastic doesn't have much stretch and it is actually more like bounching on an extremely tight netting making very hard work for the bouncer to actually get any sort of height over about 2cm. I was very disappointed with this and actually thought it made a poor tramploline. My daughter finds bouncing on the bed much more exciting and energy worthy.
As you can probably tell from the review this is one ELC product that we as a family did not enjoy. We didnt get much fun out of it and my daughter at 2 has more than outgrown it. We certainly didn't get our moneys worth out of it which is a shame as it was a present but it was just far too boring for my active daughter. I am not asking for my daughter to be catapolted up to the sky (although sometimes that would be nice) but she can't even bounce on this and it is supposed to be a trampoline. Great price but worth paying a bit more for a trampoline that actually does what it is meant to.
Everyone was asking me what they could buy my daughter for her first birthday and i was struggling to think of things!! A month or two before, someone had bought a toddler trampoline for my friends daughters first birthday so i thought that would be a good idea. However they were quite expensive at around £35 so this put me off suggesting this. I was out shopping in the run up to Christmas and saw Woolworths were having a huge sale as they were closing down. Looking around the toy section i saw this trampoline for, wait for it.....£10!! Bargain!! I picked it up like a shot.
The Blossom Farm trampoline is a bright yellow trampoline with little animals on the fabric on the side which covers the legs. ELC say that its suitable for children aged 12 months plus which is great as the child is usually quite confident in pulling themselves up by this age, and sometimes walking.
I decided to put it together the night before her birthday so that it would be immediately ready for my daughter to play on when she got up. Boy am i glad i decided that!!! It wasn't easy to put together at all, and took two of us roughly half an hour! I would recommend there be two people when putting it together, and also that one of them is quite strong!!!
The trampoline has a great non-slip padded handle which is much better than another that i had seen that just had foam covering it and i wouldn't imagine that would last long with toddlers about!! The base of the trampoline is quite spacious but definately suits smaller children - of course i know this is for small children, but my daughter is extremely tall for her age so will grow out of it much quicker than most. It is a very light trampoline, so is easily moved around and can be taken outside when its nice which i think is great, as some of them are quite heavy and bulky.
This has been a great buy and i would totally recommend it to everyone, my daughter has had hours and hours of enjoyment out of it and its still in great condition which shows how hard wearing it is and fantastic quality like most things i have found at ELC. Its great fun, keeps the children fit and helps physical development, what more could you ask for in a toy?
We were looking for a trampoline for my daughter for ages before we came across this one and found it for an absolute bargain.
Our daughter has always loved bouncing up and down and we were devastated when she no longer fitted into her rainforest jumperoo. She managed to climb onto our sofa one day and discovered the bouncing fun she could have there so off to the shops we went!
The baby active trampoline is perfect for her as it has a non-slip rubber padded handlebar (a lot better than most of them which seem to use foam that a baby can easily bite through). The base is nice and wide too so my daughter can walk about on it rather than taking a step back and falling off. Around the outside of the trampoline is also padded to protect those little ones from the metal bars if they fall over or simply to climb on and off. I should point out that most of the handlebars have been left exposed which does seem a touch odd considering they've gone to all this extra effort with the rest of it.
A major problem for us with the trampoline was the assembly. It took my partner half an hour to put it up (he's a mr know it all and usually puts things up in seconds) and he then had to stand on it to bend the metal as one of the legs was a couple of inches shorter than the other 3! Had he not bent the metal, the trampoline wouldn't have been usable. I find this a bit off considering it's sold in ELC and has a good manufacturer and retailer.
I was very surprised by the weight of the trampoline as it can be lifted and moved about with only one hand. This is especially useful as the trampoline can be used indoors and outdoors so it can easily be transferred without much fuss.
A couple of the basics you usually want to know - it currently sells for £35 in the ELC but we were lucky and picked in up in one of the Woolworths that were closing. How much did we pay? £12! This was an absolute bargain and I'm so glad we managed to buy it at that, as i think £35 is a lot of money considering your child grows quite quickly and it will probably only last a year, maximum.
The maximum weight is 20kg and i doubt any baby will reach this limit before they have outgrown it. My nephew and niece have both had a go on it (5,2) and it's still standing strong. It's very sturdy and is fantastic exercise for my little girl. It says ideal for a child between the ages of 1-3 so i'm hoping it might last until my daughter is 3, but i really can't see it.
The good things? It's great for their physical development as they have to use different muscles to jump up and down and climb on and off. It makes my daughter happy and she's laughed on this more than any other toy. We've also used it for a couple of other different things too... my partner puts some of her toy food on it and bounces it around the trampoline from underneath as my daughter tries to catch it, it's great fun for her and something different from what she's previously been used to.
Bad things? Well apart from the assembly, we haven't found any. The only thing i could mention is that she won't come off when it's time for bed as she just wants to keep bouncing!
My verdict?
You should definitely get one of these for your baby as they are fantastic. They might be a little bit pricey but i'd pay that to keep my little girl fit and to have her giggling all day long. The only reason it loses a star is because of the assembly. Everything else has been fantastic.
Suitable for ages 12 months - 3 years. With a wide base for extra stability and non-slip handlebar grip, your young child will have fun being active developing coordination skills.

Don't get me wrong.
Gov. Charlie Crist is doing some things right. Who would have imagined a Republican governor in Florida leading the charge against greenhouse gases?
In California, as quirky as that state is, that's to be expected. But Florida? Three cheers to Crist.
But Crist has been off base more than once since taking over for Jeb Bush in January, especially in his efforts to undermine home rule for local governments by controlling their purse strings.
It's in those efforts that Crist has a tendency to say stupid things.
There was the time he suggested that local governments struggling to find ways to fund critical services such as children's programs and public safety because of his property tax cuts could do it by not building dog parks.
He came close to topping that inanity during a recent visit to Jacksonville.
His solution to the budget crunch facing the Duval County public schools: Sell the riverfront School Board building.
Like the dog park remark, that's red meat for people who believe government wastes tons of money every day.
But if Crist had thought, or at least done a little research, before he spoke, he would have known that the idea of selling the building has been on the table for a long time.
He also would have known that the building is paid for, thus no rent or bond payments.
And School Board members have insisted that any move be revenue neutral.
In other words, the School Board has to get enough money for the building so that a move to new administrative offices wouldn't take money away from the classrooms.
You would think that Crist would have known that, considering his communications director, Erin Isaac, lived in Jacksonville and I'm sure she's aware of the School Board's stance.
Besides, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
The Legislature goes into special session in September to deal with a $1 billion shortfall in the state budget.
Why doesn't Crist help with that budget crunch by selling the Governor's Mansion?
During these tight budget times, as I've written before, does the governor really have to live in a mansion built in Greek Revival style with six white Corinthian columns that features a cabana, an exercise room, a brick patio, a tennis court, a greenhouse, a rose garden and a state dining room with plenty of seating and a massive chandelier?
I'm sure the mansion would fetch a pretty penny as a bed and breakfast.
Too much to ask of Crist?
OK. He could at least do away with the heating system for the mansion's swimming pool.
This is Florida. Toughen up.
In the description of the mansion on the state's Web site, Crist writes:
"We are fortunate to live in a state where the sun shines upon our face and warms our hearts."
It also would warm the pool.

Calf strain forces A-Rod to disabled list
Calf strain forces A-Rod to disabled list
"We're going to play it safe," manager Joe Girardi said. "We don't feel he's any worse than he was before, but we're just going to play it extremely safe here and know that we'll have a player in 15 days."
Rodriguez initially injured his calf on Monday, leaving a game against the Tigers after four innings. His return to the lineup on Friday night as the designated hitter lasted all of one at-bat. With his only swing of the night, Rodriguez grounded out to third and jogged very gingerly out of the box. He was lifted for a pinch-hitter two innings later.
Girardi had said before the game that although he didn't expect Rodriguez to play this weekend or even in the following series in Toronto, he did not think the disabled list was likely. That thought changed sometime after Rodriguez arrived at the ballpark.
"[General manager Brian Cashman] talked to the doctors and the trainers, and we just felt it was probably in the best interest to put him on the DL," Girardi said.
Rodriguez and the Yankees maintain that the most recent instance of his injury is no worse than the first one earlier in the week. The third baseman said on Friday that, since he's never had a calf injury before, he's had trouble determining what exactly he can play through.
With Rodriguez out, the Yankees will turn to youngsters Ramiro Pena and Eduardo Nunez to fill his considerable shoes. Pena is batting .197 on the season, but he does have 16 RBIs on just 23 hits. The Yankees are 22-8 in games he starts.
Nunez, meanwhile, made his first Major League start on Saturday, driving in the go-ahead run in the seventh with his first career hit.
"Those guys are what we have right now, and we'll continue to evaluate on an everyday basis," Girardi said. "These guys have done a pretty good job filling in."
Indeed, Saturday's win improved the Yankees' record to a remarkable 11-0 in games in which Rodriguez does not appear. New York was just 21-17 in such games a season ago.
"You can't help but miss a guy like Alex, but we're going to do our best," Mark Teixeira said. "We all have to continue to play well and pick each other up."
Right-handed pitcher Ivan Nova will be called up to replace Rodriguez on the roster. Nova will make his first career start on Monday in Toronto.

Dear Thaba Team
There are no words to describe the excellence experienced at Thaba Eco Hotel, every detail is taken care of.
The staff feel like an extension of my own team/ business, they are dedicated and passionate about ensuring that my event and experience runs well and I truly appreciate the way everything was managed. I'd like to name every staff member but can't honestly remember all the names: Taryn, Nicole, Kate, Arnand (spelling may be wrong) and the entire catering team, set up team and serving team were beyond excellent.
Andrew – sound engineer is exceptional. As far as it is possible, I will only ever use Thaba and will always recommend you to my clients. Looking forward to more conferences and events into the future at Thaba.
THANK YOU! I just need to remember to arrange Kosher meals ahead of time.
Shona Selley
Dear Maxine
I just wanted to thank you personally for your contribution to our very successful conference on Monday and Tuesday. Everything went very smoothly and the venue, food and service was awesome. Your staff are really the best – everything was very professional, as was your engagement with me.
If I am allowed one suggestion – it would be around the quality of your data projector – which does not render 100% – I think an upgrade for the Tswana Room with a fixed screen from the ceiling might be a consideration.
We also have a booking with you (Oberholzer) for the week-end for my birthday – so I am looking forward to another meal in the restaurant or something relaxing at the Spa.
Thank you again.
Kind regards
Ansuretha de Jager

Dear Nicole
I wish to thank you and Taryn and all your staff for the excellent service we received – from the time we entered your facility until the time we had to leave … very reluctantly, I might add! The venues and amenities are exquisite but the staff add so much value to the experience in its entirety. Our compliments to all for a job well done!
Kind regards

Good day Peter, Taryn and Marius,
I just want to make use of this opportunity to let you know what excellent service we received from Elrine and Rogan these couple of weeks. Elrine always goes out of her way to assist with late minute bookings and changes etc. Rogan also assisted us yesterday with our programme which already started at 08H00. These 2 people are a real asset to your company.

Thank you for an absolute wonderful day – i was really stressing with the organizing of the event but felt 100% relaxed with all that pertained to TYB Your staff with special mention of Elrine is really what makes TYB an absolute wonderful venue for any function – yes the setting is lovely, the food delicious, the accomodation should be rated as 5*, but your staff are exceptional. well done – thanks , and for sure the next time round i will be in contact – the only problem is to better ourselves for the next time – very difficult to achieve. All our guests were "over the moon" with the food, setting, accommodation and our launch – some of which have stated that it's been the best launch they have ever attended.

Goeie dag,
Ons het toe Maandagaand in Thaba oorgebly in die nuwe aangeboude eenhede. Wat 'n ondervinding. Dit is absoluut stunning! Die eenhede is ongelooflik grand en bevat ALLES wat 'n traveller nodig het – tot 'n flitslig, Peaceful sleep en Doom. Die kamers is super smart en enorm. Die badkamer is groot genoeg om in te dans! Op aankoms wag 'n heerlike bottel rooi wyn en vrugte vir jou. Die koffie, ens is meer as genoeg met koekies. Hulle het tot 'n I-Pod stand met speakers. Die beste van als is dat jy die vensters van hoek tot kant kan oopmaak vir vars lug en net so slaap en die bos voor jou sien. (Ek is mos 'n Kapenaar en soek die vars lug (van die see) permanent). Dis net die goggas en muskiete wat gepla het. Dalk kan ek voorstel dat hulle dit oorweeg om nette voor die vensters te installeer. Dit sal seker die enigste klagte wees as ek mag kla. Hulle "attention to detail" is meer as 5 ster – en onthou, ek het al oral gebly en kan met gemak sê dat nie een plek waar ek al gebly het kan kompeteer met Thaba nie. Die ongelooflike tuin en bos uitlegte het soveel detail met hulle potte en watervalletjies voor elke eenheid. Ek gaan probeer om Aurecon se Marketing Bestuurder te oorreed om een aand daar te gaan oorbly. Hy is nog op honeymoon! – en hy reel al ons Global en local events, bv conferences, bosberade, ens. Hy bly in Gauteng. Hulle is ook so baie behulpsaam en professioneel, ag ek kan doodeenvoudig niks verkeerd sien van Thaba nie en kannie wag om weer daar te gaan bly nie. Hulle pryse is ook baie, baie goed (R1300,00 pp per nag B&B) en ek hoop hulle hou dit so. Ek moes Dinsdagaand noodgedwonge in OR Tambo City Lodge oorbly teen R1100,00 pp per nag. Geen room service, bar, ens nie en die kamers was super flou met 'n klein plastic showertjie. Geen koekies of enigiets nie! Wou maar net vir jou baie dankie sê dat jy my laat weet het van Thaba Ya Batswana.
Suzette Dos Santos
Thaba Ya Batswana Conference Team,
Thank you for the tone you set for the year by helping us run a successful conference. I appreciated your unfailing attention to detail. With all the last minute snags, I worried that something would fall through the cracks, but you anticipated every contingency. Several participants commented on how well you had organized the event. We are fortunate to have you donate your time on occasions like this. On behalf of the merSETA , I express heartfelt thanks for all you do.

Beste Marius,
Dra asb ons dank oor aan almal by Thaba wat gesorg het dat ons skool se afskeidsfunksie so 'n reuse sukses was. Julle personeel het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te akkomodeer, elke 'detail' wat gesorg het dat dit 'n onvergeetlike middag was. Die skool het die rekening reeds vereffen, en dit blyk dat daar 'n krediet op die rekening is, sal dit vir julle moontlik wees om dit aan Barbara oor te betaal? – net 'n blyk van waardering vir die harde werk wat ingesit is- die personeel voel dat sy 'n uitstekende diens gelewer het. Baie dankie – hoop ons kan weer volgende jaar van julle fasiliteite gebruik maak.
Today we had a very long and exhausting strategic session, which caused me to take off immediately when we finished. I then forgot my jacket, which I so much love. I only realized that I forgot it almost three later. What got me even more worried was that when I let there were close to ten people preparing the room for tomorrow. I then thought that any of those people would have taken it for him/herself. I was shocked when I got there to realize that they saw it and kept it for me to come back for it. Please extend my appreciation to the entire team, God will bless them for their honesty. Just to give you the reason for my worry – it is a Polo jacket that I bought from the biggest POLO shop in the United States. Thanks, once again.
Eddie Singo
Executive Manager
Dear Reuben, Marius, staff and Management,
On behalf of Quinton and I, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Barbara for her assistance and efficiency before and on the day of our wedding – Saturday the 8th of May 2010. She made our wedding day very special and insured that all went according to plan. Her prompt response to our queries and attention to detail made us feel confident in her ability to arrange and plan our special day. She is most definitely an asset to your operation. To Thaba ya Batswana staff and Management thank you for offering us and our guest your five star hospitality, it was greatly received and appreciated. We felt honored to have shared our wedding day at your venue.
Quinton and Elize Germishuizen
Hi there, Thanks so much for a very successful event yesterday –all clients (Brand Evolution & Absa) are very happy. From my side I can just say that I have yet to work with other 5 star venues with the same service levels as yours…your staff are super helpful, friendly, visible & I would like to commend especially Sizwe & Harry for their contribution yesterday. I will definitely recommend your venue to all of my other clients. Please remember to send me the final invoice for billing asap? Many thanks and regards Thereza Grobler

OSAKA, Japan — Two diabetes drugs made by Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. have been pulled from the market in France due to evidence that their use may increase the risk of bladder cancer, Takeda said.
Takeda said its French subsidiary, Laboratoires Takeda, would withdraw Actos (pioglitazone) and Competact (pioglitazone and metformin). In addition, Takeda said it was cooperating with the European Medicines Agency in a pan-European of pioglitazone. Competact is marketed in the United States under the brand name Actoplus Met.
In June, the Food and Drug Administration warned that use of pioglitazone for more than one year could be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer, and the agency said information about the risk would be added to the labeling of products containing the drug, which remains available in the United States.

Last week the markets knew what fear lurks in the hearts of men. Five sessions, three bottoms, several deaths of hope. The selling stopped Monday, rationally; Wednesday, inexplicably; Friday, because GE had lost Jack Welch and itwas going to be OK. But it all added up to the worst week for the Dow since the Great Depression, with the Dow tumbling a points-record 1,369.70 to 8,235.81. In percentage terms, the 14.26 percent decline was the forth worst ever. The Nasdaq had its third-worst week ever, falling 272.11 points, or 16.1 percent, to end at 1,423.19. And let's not forget the S&P 500, which narrowly avoided its worst week ever, falling 127.54 points, or 11.6 percent, to finish at 965.03.
[an error occurred while processing this directive]Three times the selling stabilized, the big money took a deep breath and bought into the damage. Twice the selling started again, and by Monday morning, who was betting on Friday's late-session rebound holding into this week?
Traders were. The opening bell rang with "buy" calls, and the Dow by midday quickly recovered four percent of those losses from last week, surging ahead by more than 300 points. The Nasdaq was similarly goosed, up 71, and is it possible that at long, long last we might be ready to call this the bottom?
Some say yes. "As horrendous as it looks, I'm beginning to feel we're not that far from a bottom," David Blitzer, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor's, told CNNfn over the weekend, and plenty of economists, pundits and other seers are whistling that same tune, never mind the gravestones. Bottoms. Fed rate cuts finally taking effect. Fiscal stimuli riding to the rescue. V-shaped recoveries.
Early 2002, tops.
Listen to the politicians say, buy an American car, go out to a restaurant, get another mortgage. Above all start flying again, don't cancel that vacation. It's patriotism. It's war, and while the men in uniform to whom we outsource our killing do what they do so well, let's us on the home front do what we do, and that's spend. The last world war we won, the Cold one, we celebrated with a peace dividend, ten years of boom in which the markets simply paid us off for spending and not worrying. Now the markets which lead the economy, which leads us are the way Americans are supposed to fight back.
The problem with investing our fighting spirit back with stock markets is that stock markets don't fight. They watch. They see that the soldiers and hunters have their work cut out, that a truck bomb in Columbus, Ohio could put the fear for real into the rest of us, that our enemies have a savage commitment we have never known. The markets have always been our inner child, the pit of our stomach, the barometer that reads us despite our protestations. And now it is plumbing that great bottomless thing called uncertainty, global and domestic, and some of us are uncertain whether blind consumerism, as leaps of faith go, is a sucker bet at a time like this.
Fear of flying fear of buying. When the big money, the institutional investors to whom we've outsourced our mutual-funded way of life, are still selling hand over fist, what can one investor do? Why should any of us buy a car or house or a stock before they do? And why should any of them buy before we do? Their mamas didn't raise no fools.
We're strong. We're angry. We're brave. But maybe we don't really feel like shopping right now. Is that so wrong? Has that really become so un-American? Will the American Way really grind to a halt if we take a little breather, marshal our soggy finances, pay down a little debt? Can we ever stop, even for a minute, without the terrorists winning? Not according to what the politicians say. That's symbolism the graphs of the Dow and our secret fears, hugging each other all the way down. And that's a scary thought.
Anybody want to call a bottom? Anybody?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 17, 1912:
- "Down goes the mercury, up goes the price of food stuffs. Why? Because the after effect of the extreme cold weather is now being felt. Following the tying up of the railroad lines from snow blockades and other conditions; the shortage of cars for the same reason, those who provide the public with things to eat find that they have been the sufferers to such an extent that the prices will have to be raised. Recently fourteen car loads of potatoes were frozen between Lawrence and Colorado. Quite a loss that, and this is only an example of just what happened in many other instances. Consequently the price of potatoes in Lawrence now is $1.25 a bushel to the retailers and $1.50 to the public."
- "Two Lawrence young men have rigged up a very clever contrivance, a sled that is operated by motor power. The young men are Alva Carter and Ira Stockwell, who have the mechanical shop of 'Carter and Stockwell' in Lawrence. The young men have fastened two sleds together with a wooden wheel at the rear. A chain runs from this to the motor at the other end of the sled. Last evening the sled was doing some exhibition work and attracted quite a crowd."
- "Eudora is putting up ice. The quality is good and the supply all that could be desired."

ANOTHER 1956 Series, Pt. 4
We have stayed too long in 1956, so today we will wrap things up for this set. This blurry Fantasyland shot sure captures what it feels like to be on the teacups...urp. Mickey Mouse Club Theater and Welch's Grape Juice Bar in background. #2 shows Dumbo from the Skyway, and a very barren berm.
Chicken of the Sea before the Skull Rock makeover:
Only one Tomorrowland shot in this bunch; this one features the Moonliner. Back then space travel was a big deal, and the Moonliner must have been a might symbol to those who visited this land.
Here are 2 Knotts shots from the same batch to finish out today's post:

Dave - I don't think that's the berm; I think it's Frontierland (and boy is that dirt piled high!). Based on the rope in the foreground, I think it also might have been taken from the Pirate Ship rather than the Skyway. Also note the oranges in the lower right hand corner of that shot--they were using Agrifuture all along!
- Major Pepperidge said...
Well, it is A berm, but not THE berm!
I don't agree that we've stayed too long in 1956, this was an awesome series... every photo a gem.

Major - Thanks, but when you have Mr. Nomenclature around, you gotta' watch your P's & Q's! I think I'll go get a hambuger now...

Iolo Technologies recently contacted me about the latest edition of System Mechanic (version 9), a utility meant to keep PCs in prime operating condition by tidying up registries, defragmenting RAM, and eliminating system "clutter."
In theory, this tool should already be a bit of a boon for gamers looking to maximize system performance, but the latest version has a new feature called EnergyBooster that shuts down all but essential applications and processes, freeing up cycles for resource intensive applications-like the latest 3D games. According to Iolo's press literature, it's supposed to act "like a shot of rocket fuel for your PC."
I requested a copy and gave it a whirl this morning.
The machine I tested it on is an HP Firebird 803, a sleek little performance desktop designed by HP's Voodoo unit. I've been using it for a few months now, and haven't really noticed a difference in performance over that time. I ran a FutureMark 3DMark Vantage benchmark test on it about a month ago and it achieved a respectable overall score of P4755 3DMarks (all you need to know about this number for the purpose of this post is the higher the better).
I employed System Mechanic 9 the way I thought an average user might. Upon installation I performed a quick (as opposed to a deep) scan and discovered that, according to SM9's rating criteria, my machine was in "poor" health. It found hundreds of registry errors, over a gigabyte of system clutter, and suggested that the system's memory was running at only 29 per cent efficiency.
I clicked the repair button. Ten minutes and a system restart later my PC was in "good" health. According to a new gadget installed on my Windows sidebar (see picture above), SM9 had repaired 452 registry errors and reclaimed nearly a gigabyte of memory.
Then I opened SM9 again and found the EnergyBooster feature. Users have the option of letting EnergyBooster find extraneous applications that can be shut down to save processing power or they can poke through a list of active processes themselves to select those they believe to be unnecessary, simultaneously creating a user profile so they don't have to do it again later.
I tried the default setting first, but EnergyBooster found no apps or services to shut down. So I went in and shut down a few items myself, including some Apple media apps, WindowsSearch, and a couple of more-or-less useless security programs. It took about a minute.
System cleansed and in prime operating condition, I ran 3DMark Vantage again…and achieved some very impressive results.
My Firebird's overall performance score jumped to P6571 3DMarks, an improvement of more than 35 per cent. Meanwhile, its CPU and Graphics scores went from 9120 to 11170 and 4100 to 5778, respectively (again, higher numbers are better).
Of course, the real proof is in actual game performance.
So I loaded up the strategy game World in Conflict and ran its built-in graphics benchmark. The result was an increase of about 12 frames per second over what I had recorded when I ran the test shortly after first unboxing the machine. Impressive, to say the least.
I should note here that I've not tried any of SM9's competitors, so I can't speak to its abilities relative to those of similar applications. I should also say that I keep a pretty messy PC (or so I've been told by my hardcore techspert pals). It could be that SM9 had more to sink its teeth into in my machine than it would in some others, and that the improvements it made were consequently more noticeable.
Regardless, I liked the results. At US$49.95 per year (it's on sale right now for $39.95), System Mechanic 9 seems kind of pricey, especially considering that some of what it does automatically can be performed manually via built-in operating system utilities, but I like how easy it makes it to keep a clean, speedy PC.
And I can't argue with the numbers. It has undeniably helped me achieve a richer PC gaming experience. That alone is worth the cost of a single game once per year.

Nice, thanks matey
Thanks for sharing, bro. I love watching hot slim guys shower and showering with them when I can. It looks like you have a nice piece of meat hanging there.
nice piece!
Your cock is too appealing to be shown in time lapse. It should be

Texas Tech Assistant Athletic Director Tim Knight likely violated university policy by failing to invoice Tech merchandise he shipped to his retail store in Indiana, Tech President David Schmidly said Friday.
Schmidly said Knight is cooperating with university officials, who are reviewing transactions he authorized between Tech's Double T Shoppe and The General's Store in Indianapolis.
Schmidly said, "I don't want to be premature one way or the other," but he added that there was no evidence of criminal im proprieties, and a university audit is pending.
Knight, son of Tech head basketball coach Bob Knight, did not return a call to The Avalanche-Journal on Friday.
Schmidly said a university vice president is preparing a report about the transactions, and he has been briefed about the report's preliminary findings.
"What it shows is that there's good documentation of things that were shipped from the Double T, and there's good documentation of things shipped from there (The General's Store) that are as good or of equal value or better value," Schmidly said.
Schmidly added that "invoices were not handled according to university procedure. Tim Knight has been most helpful and cooperative, and there's no indication that anyone profited from this."
He said the university's auditors will review the transactions, and they would consider whether state laws were violated or if conflict of interest policies were broken.
Knight, who joined Tech last year, no longer oversees the Double T Shoppe, which sells Tech athletic memorabilia. However, Schmidly said, the reassignment was not related to the transactions with the Indianapolis store.
According to records reviewed this week by The A-J, dozens of shipments were made between the two stores during the past basketball season.
The records show the dates when parcels were shipped and include shipping charges, but the records did not include the value or price of merchandise being shipped. The shipping charges were for several hundred dollars.
Merchandise shipped to The General's Store included novelty basketballs, media guides and T-shirts. Merchandise sent to the Double T Shoppe included Silver Knight books, golf shirts, sweat shirts and hats.
Some of the merchandise was shipped to Nancy Knight, who is Tim Knight's mother and Bob Knight's first wife.
Tech spokesman Cindy Rugeley said she understood that Tim Knight owned the Indianapolis store. Bob Knight is often referred to as "The General."
Rugeley said Tim Knight intended to submit a single invoice for all of the items, which is not the university's policy.
Schmidly said transactions between the stores became known through inquiries from the media.
On Monday, Double T Shoppe store manager Larry Crisler told The A-J that he could not comment on the transactions involving Knight, and he referred questions to Associate Athletic Director Bobby Gleason, who oversees the department's accounting.
Gleason said he did not know of any inquiry into Knight's dealings.
"If there is, I'm not aware of it," Gleason said Monday.
Schmidly said, "It's another matter whether you've done something with the intent of hiding it. That's more serious. This just looks like a problem with invoicing procedures."
He said the auditor's inquiry will last a few days.

HARKER HEIGHTS – A suspected electrical fire at a home in the 200 block of West Bob White Lane on Tuesday morning left a family of six homeless.
Taina Thipharacksa and her father, Miguel Melendez, were the only two in the home at the time of the fire. Neither sustained injuries. Thipharacksa's husband, Sutto Thipharacksa, and their four children were not home.
"We can get the material stuff back, but you can't get your life back," Melendez said. "We turned off the breakers and moved some of the propane tanks out but when I went back in to get my wallet, just like that, the house was full of fire."
Deputy Fire Chief Glenn Gallenstein said the Harker Heights Fire Department received the call at 10:15 a.m. and firefighters were on scene within three minutes. Two engines from Heights and one engine from Killeen were dispatched.
"By the time we arrived, it was defensive fire and 50 percent of the structure was engulfed in flames," Gallenstein said. "The home is a total loss and we were very lucky no one was hurt."
Thipharacksa and Melendez were cleaning up the kids' room when they noticed a funny smell.
"We both smelled something funny, like wires melting," Thipharacksa said. "We called our landlord and he called the electrician, and the next thing we knew there was a cloud of gray smoke that turned into black smoke and then we saw the fire coming out of the left side of our house."
When Thipharacksa's husband, Sutto, arrived at what was left of their home, he was speechless.
"My school books, my life, it's all ashes," he said. "Right when we were getting back on our feet, something like this happens to us."
As Harker Heights fire crews were cleaning up and leaving the scene, a Red Cross representative arrived to help get the family situated with basic comforts.
Gallenstein said the cause of the blaze is being investigated by the fire marshal.

Wealth, Mobility, Inheritance And The Estate Tax
No. 235
Thursday, June 01, 2000
by Bruce Bartlett
Table of Contents
The Estate Tax
Although no serious effort has ever been made simply to ban inheritances, the government does make strenuous efforts to curtail them, mainly through the estate and gift tax.44
"The original purpose of the estate tax was revenue, not redistribution."
Early History. The estate tax is one of the oldest federal taxes. First imposed in 1797, its principal purpose was revenue, not redistribution. Hence, once the need for revenue fell, the tax was repealed in 1802. The tax was revived in 1862, again solely for revenue purposes. And as earlier, when the revenue requirement abated the tax was repealed in 1870. Another estate tax, imposed in 1898 to pay for the Spanish-American War, was abolished in 1902. The current estate tax dates from 1916, enacted to pay for World War I. This time, of course, it remained permanently.45
From Revenue to Redistribution. The original non-redistributive purpose of the current estate tax is shown by the fact that the initial top rate was just 10 percent. The estate tax did not become explicitly redistributive until the administration of Franklin Roosevelt. The Revenue Act of 1935, in particular, was almost solely concerned with redistribution. Roosevelt rationalized this policy as necessary to stave off even more redistributive proposals being propounded by Huey Long and others. To combat these "crackpot ideas," Roosevelt said, "it may be necessary to throw to the wolves the 46 men who are reported to have incomes in excess of one million dollars a year."46
The top estate tax rate, which was 45 percent when Roosevelt took office, was ratcheted up to 60 percent in 1934 and 70 percent in 1935. This and other provisions of the legislation designed to "soak the rich" were heavily criticized by economists as undermining business confidence and shifting the tax system away from its primary purpose of raising revenue.47 Nevertheless, it put the estate tax on a course from which it has never subsequently diverged.
"The estate tax contributes only 1.5 percent of total federal revenue."
Today the tax exists almost exclusively for redistributive purposes, since the revenue yield is minuscule. The estate and gift tax is the federal government's least significant revenue source. In fiscal year 2000 it is expected to raise just $30 billion, according to the Office of Management and Budget. With total federal revenues estimated at $2 trillion, the estate and gift tax contributes just 1.5 percent. [See Figure III.]
The current tax theoretically begins at a rate of 18 percent, and goes up to 55 percent. Taxpayers receive a credit of $220,550 on their estate tax liability. The effect of this is to ble estate is 37 percent. On estates between $10 million and $21 million the top rate actually is 60 percent, due to the phase-out of the unified estate and gift tax credit. This gives the U.S. the second highest top estate tax rate in the world; only Japan's 70 percent rate is higher.48 Interestingly, recent press reports blame Japan's high estate taxes for much of the sluggishness of its economy.49
"The burden of the estate tax falls primarily on the recipient, not the giver."
Burden of the Estate Tax. A fundamental justification for the estate tax is that it is paid only by those who can most easily afford it, namely the rich. This year, just 2.03 percent of adult deaths in the United States are expected to result in taxable estates.50 However, the burden of the tax falls primarily on the recipient, not the giver. For this reason, one cannot state with certainty what the distributional effect of the estate actually is, since heirs may be either wealthy or poor. This may be a sufficient reason to abolish the estate tax.51
The fact that the burden of the estate tax falls on heirs rather than decedents has important distributive implications. Generally speaking, heirs have less wealth and income than decedents. Hence, attributing the estate tax to the former rather than the latter would show the burden of the estate tax on those with middle incomes to be much higher than standard distributional tables indicate. Indeed, Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation has resisted inclusion of the estate tax in its distribution tables, owing to uncertainty about who actually bears the burden of the tax.52

Filmmaker Saurav Rai will be the representing India at the 69th Cannes Film Festival in French Riviera, as his 29-minute short film "Gudh" (Nest) has been selected to compete at the Cannes Cinefondation selection.
Saurav's film is the official entry from India to compete at the film festival this year. The filmmaker, who hails from West Bengal's Darjeeling district, in conversation with International Business Times India spoke about his short film and being the sole representative at the international film festival.
Here are the edited excerpts from the interview:
International Business Times: How does it feel to be the sole representative at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival this year?
Saurav: Definitely happy and excited, but at the same time it's a huge opportunity and I would like to believe good things will happen
IBT: Tell us about your short film "Gudh" (Nest) and how did you come up with the title? What inspired you to make this short film?
Saurav: As a kid I always had this void inside me of not being able to connect to my mother. Since I was raised by my grandparents, I only had winter vacation to catch up with my mother. Those two months were the best days of my life. Back to city, I was left out confused. Now as a grown up, I'm left with a few beautiful and intimate memories of all those growing years with my grandparents as well as with my biological parents.
And to paint those memories in a timeline through a film was the only way to relieve it again. So Gudh as a title refers to so many things for me like a mothers womb, a home which the kid always missed, mothers warmth, affection and our very own utopian free state.
In the film I ended up fulfilling all those desires, which I couldn't as a child; I mean all my imagination found it's expression through this film.
IBT: Why did you get into the short film business?
Saurav: For any filmmaker, short film is an ideal way to begin with. But I don't consider my film 'Gudh/Nest' a typical short film. It's almost 29-minutes long. In fact it's my 13th short film so far. So all these years I have been practising to make beautiful cinema. For me cinema is a life long expression. To be able to express your deepest desires and emotion though this time space art form is itself amazing.
IBT: Any short filmmaker who inspired you?
Saurav: There are many. But not particularly any short filmmaker. I'm very fond of Iranian cinema as well as Asian Cinema masters.
IBT: What subjects would you like to explore as a short filmmaker?
Saurav: Anything which makes me think. I happen to observe a lot, so whenever I come across any interesting people or an incident, I take inspiration from them.
IBT: We read that you are currently busy shooting a travelogue. Can you tell us more about it?
Saurav: Well actually I happened to have signed a "Non Disclosure agreement" so I can't reveal the client's identity or it's content till a certain time.
IBT: Any Bollywood aspirations? If yes, who would you like to work with?
Saurav: Of course there are many. Lets wait and see how things go from here.

Barnsley 1 - Cardiff 2: New Nugent is top man
BEN NUGENT grabbed a debut goal as Cardiff City shrugged off their away-day hoodoo and romped to the top of the Championship table.
The towering centre-back was singled out before the game by Bluebirds manager Malky Mackay, who said he views Nugent, 19 on Thursday, as a future skipper.
And the teenager responded by heading Peter Whittingham's
22nd-minute corner past Luke Steele.
But the killer blow for Barnsley came in the 51st minute, when another Whittingham corner found Aron Gunnarsson's head.
From day one stepping up to the first team he's improved and desperately wants to learn every day
Jacob Mellis rifled in a low shot to spark a late rally but Cardiff hung on.
Mackay said of Nugent: "From day one stepping up to the first team he's improved and desperately wants to learn every day, and he is learning."
The win was marred only by a last-minute red card for full-back Simon Lappin for two yellow cards.

Title: Public Cycle Sharing Systems: A Planning Toolkit for Indian Cities
Date: December 2012
Prepared by: Institute for Transportation and Development Policy
Prepared for: Ministry of Urban Development Government of India
Abstract: The public bicycling schemes that are popular in western countries are a relatively new concept in India. In the last few years, several Indian cities have shown interest with setting up such systems. The Ministry of Urban Development recognises that non-motorised modes of transport, like cycling, are an important part of making urban transport more sustainable. To launch the National Public Bicycle Scheme and to build capacity for the implementation and operation of cycle sharing systems, the first consultation meeting held last year received overwhelming support and commendation. After the first consultation meeting, the Ministry organised four sub-groups to research different aspects of cycling sharing:
- Subgroup 1. Improving the national policy environment to facilitate cycling
- Subgroup 2. Toolkit for the cycle sharing planning process
- Subgroup 3. Financing mechanisms for cycle sharing
- Subgroup 4. Product design and technical specifications for the cycles
This toolkit for planning cycle sharing in Indian cities is the outcome of detailed deliberation by not only Subgroups but also the national level consultations held in June 2011 and a national level workshop on 20 November 2012.

Beirut are no strangers to U.S TV. Just last autumn, when The Rip Tide came out, they performed on both Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and the Late Show with David Letterman.
This time round Zach Condon and co opted for Jay Leno's late night helping and were in a typically triumphant mood. Running through an emphatic rendition of 'Santa Fe' from the aforementioned album, if Twitter's anything to go by they seem to have won the American public over third time of asking.
The group performed alongside guests Jack Black and two gentleman called the "meatball shop guys". Yeah, we have no idea either.
Beirut play the following live dates over the coming months:
5 – Brooklyn, NY @ Crossing Brooklyn Ferry Festival
27 – George, WA @ Sasquatch (8:10 pm, Sasquatch Stage)
2 –Victoria Park, UK @ Field Day 2012

NBA takeaways: Rip City shows it's for real in ousting Rockets
Don't mess around this weekend. Shut your blinds, tell your friends and family to leave you alone and settle in for what could be one of the most memorable weekends of the NBA playoffs — ever. Seriously, it could be that good.
Between Saturday and Sunday, there will be an NBA-record five Game 7s. It would have been six if Damian Lillard didn't have to go showing off. While the Trail Blazers closed out the Rockets to move on to the second round, the Nets and Mavericks each stood their ground to force one more game.
April Madness officially has moved into May.
Trail Blazers win series 4-2
Takeaway: Lillard is king. The second-year sensation for Portland has captured national attention this postseason, proving he's the most clutch young superstar in the league. Every contending team needs a closer, and Lillard certainly put his abilities on display when he hit a buzzer-beater three to knock the Rockets out of the postseason. Portland hadn't won a first-round series since 2000. Rip City has never looked more dangerous, living up to the expectations built by a hot start to the regular season. Portland still is living by its offense (especially by huge performances from Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge), and that's what has it in the next round. Portland can outscore anyone when its two superstars get going.
Star review: While Lillard will earn the headlines, it's really Aldridge who propelled the Blazers this series. He averaged 29.8 points on 47.9 percent shooting, 11.2 rebounds and 2.7 blocks. He's been one of the league's most valuable players, and now the nation finally knows it. In the loss, James Harden finally woke up with 34 points and Dwight Howard once again was fantastic with 26 points and 11 rebounds. It just wasn't enough without team defense.
Looking ahead: Portland vs. the winner of Spurs-Mavericks
Though it was one of the few series not to go seven games, the close battles against the Rockets will only make the Blazers even more dangerous as they move into the second round. Of course, the Blazers will gather around the TV on Sunday and root to see the Mavericks knock out the Spurs. Portland thrives off home court. The Blazers just proved they can win an offensive showcase, and that's what would happen again if they face the Mavericks. Battling the Spurs, though, that's going to require an overall game that Portland may not have.
Series tied 3-3
Takeaway: Of course this series was going seven games; Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is always up on the latest trends. The Mavericks are outmatched, yet their offense simply has been better than the all-around talent of the Spurs. Dallas scored 37 points in the fourth quarter to rally past San Antonio, getting another big night from Monta Ellis, who scored 29 points. Dallas is relying completely on its offense this series, as expected from the playoffs' worst defensive team. A fitting symbol of that is Ellis, who's headlining the scoring for Dallas ahead of Dirk Nowitzki (18.6 ppg).
Star review: DeJuan Blair wanted revenge. Cuban wanted it for him. When Blair became a new member of the Mavericks last offseason, after being unhappy with his role in San Antonio, Cuban said: "We already know what DeJuan is going to do to the Spurs. It's going to be a beautiful thing." Most of us laughed or scratched our head. But here we are, and Cuban was right: Blair continues to take a toll on San Antonio and tallied 10 points, 14 rebounds and 4 steals in Game 6.
Looking ahead: Game 7 at San Antonio, Sunday at 3:30 p.m. EST
It would be a shock if Gregg Popovich didn't tighten the screws for Game 7. Offensively his team is fine, but the Spurs can't win a championship unless they get a stronger showing defensively. The proof is in box scores: San Antonio hasn't won when it's shot more than 50 percent this entire season. If they slow Ellis, the Spurs should win at home.
Series tied 3-3
Takeaway: Brooklyn wasn't going away so easily. The Nets pulled a veteran move, taking control early against the Raptors and keeping their heel down throughout. Brooklyn hammered Toronto by controlling the interior, getting to the rim and owning the boards. But Brooklyn's defense was what did it. Only DeMar DeRozan showed up for the Raptors, scoring 28 points. Take his 8-of-18 shooting out of the equation and Toronto shot just 36.6 percent. Toronto relies on production from its backcourt, but Kyle Lowry shot just 4-of-16 from the field and 2-of-7 from three-point range.
Star review: Deron Williams shouldn't be too worried about his legacy at this point. Save that talk for the elites or old guys. What is on the line, though, is whether or not Williams will be seen as the right point guard for the Nets moving forward or just an inflated salary. After Game 6, Williams' rep is looking pretty good. He came through: 23 points on 50 percent shooting. Williams played through a left ankle sprain in the third quarter and outplayed Lowry, who was coming off a huge Game 5. Toughness is adored by New Yorkers, but winning is far more important. Williams delivered on that.
Looking ahead: Game 7 at Toronto, Sunday at 1 p.m. EST
The outlook entering this series was plagued with simplicity: The Nets have the experience and the Raptors do not. After a Game 1 in Toronto in which the Raptors failed to execute down the stretch, it appeared the predictions would become results. But Toronto showed resolve, and guys like DeRozan and Lowry stepped up. So here we are, with everything on the line, and it all may fall on Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, the two guys brought to Brooklyn for moments like this.

Sorenstam in position
She leads charging Creamer by a shot
Annika Sorenstam struggled with her putting yesterday yet shot a 1-under-par 70 to take a one-shot lead over Paula Creamer after three rounds of the LPGA Stanford International Pro-Am at Aventura, Fla.
Sorenstam, seeking her 71st LPGA Tour victory, has won five straight times when taking a one-shot lead into the final round.
She chipped in for birdie on the second hole, then made 12 consecutive pars before a bogey at the par-3 15th. Her putter finally cooperated at 17 when she birdied the short par 3. And on the par-5 18th, after missing the island green to the left, Sorenstam squeezed a testy par putt in to hang on to the outright lead, pumping her fist as the final putt fell.
Still, if momentum carries over from one day to the next, Creamer would have a big edge.
Creamer - who hasn't finished higher than a tie for 21st in her previous three events - had a flawless, four-birdie round of 67, capped by a birdie at the finishing hole.
Creamer came to South Florida battling a strained hip, something that pained her so much she was on crutches two days before the tournament began.
Second-round leader Young Kim (73) and Momoko Ueda (67) were two strokes back.
Kim's day went awry with two bogeys in a three-hole stretch midway through the back nine, and she missed maybe the best birdie chance of the day, hitting her third into the bunker protecting the front green at the 18th.
Cristie Kerr - a South Florida native and past winner on this course, albeit 15 years ago in a junior event - was three off the lead after a 67, her day highlighted by a 118-yard wedge that dropped for eagle on the par-4 14th.
The Pro-Am event ended yesterday, with Beth Bader - who didn't make the individual cut after Friday's play - teaming with leukemia survivor Aaron Theobald to finish 25 under, two shots ahead of Kim's team in the best-ball handicap event.
PGA - Adam Scott again topped the leaderboard at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship in Irving, Texas. His solid finish, and Kevin Sutherland's bad one, made sure that happened.
Scott, at No. 10 in the world the highest-ranked player in the field, overcame two front-nine bogeys and shot a 3-under 67 to get to 8-under 202. The Australian star birdied two of the last three holes, including a 3 1/2-footer at the 429-yard 18th.
That put him three strokes ahead of a quartet of players: Sutherland (67), Bart Bryant (67), Charley Hoffman (68), and Ryan Moore (68). Sergio Garcia, after a season-best 65, was four strokes back along with Dudley Hart (66) and Jesper Parnevik (68).
Sutherland, whose only PGA Tour victory came six years ago, was at 7 under with a one-stroke lead over Scott until bogeys on the final two holes.
In his only other Nelson appearance two years ago, Scott shared the lead at the end of each of the first three rounds. A closing 71 left him in third place.
European - Darren Clarke shot a 5-under 67 in the third round to take a one-stroke lead at the Asian Open in Shanghai.
Clarke moved to 9-under 207 for a one-shot lead over second-round co-leader Robert-Jan Derksen (69). Robert Dinwiddie finished strongly to record the best round of the day, a 6-under 66, to move a stroke behind Derksen.
Champions - Tom Watson and Andy North combined for a better-ball 62 for a 23-under 121 total and a four-stroke lead heading into the final round of the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf at Savannah, Ga.
Brad Bryant and Lonnie Nielsen (60) were tied for second with Jeff Sluman and Craig Stadler (63).

A time loop is a period of time which infinitely repeats itself until an event occurs that ends the loop. Time Loops can continue forever with those trapped inside not aging and not noticing the repeat pattern. However, the person who created or caused the loop will be aware.
Beings with psychic powers, such as precognitive witches, are sensitive to Time Loops, and are likely to become aware of a loop. This awareness usually results in a Déjà Vu-effect where they recognize the pattern.
The demonic sorcerer Tempus had the power of Chronokinesis, allowing him to manipulate time and create Time Loops. Presumably all beings who possess Chronokinesis could potentially create loops. A great injustice can also cause a Time Loop, where good souls can remain trapped due to an evil soul. If all souls within the loop are unaware of its presence, an outside third party will be needed to break the loop in order to change the events of the loop and correct the injustice.
The First LoopEdit
The first Time Loop was created by the demonic sorcerer Tempus, who was sent to assist a demon posing as Inspector Rodriguez in killing the Charmed Ones. Tempus rewound the day each time the demon failed. Fortunately, Phoebe was able to sense the time loop with her Premonition power, remembering quicker with each loop. She and her sisters eventually cast a spell to accelerate time to break the time loop.[1]
The Second LoopEdit
Whilst visiting an old wild western town, the ghost of a psychic native American called Bo Lightfeather came in contact with Phoebe, creating a Psychic Echo between them. Phoebe soon received a premonition of Bo's execution by Sutter. Prue and Cole realized Bo was stuck inside a Time Loop as a result of a great injustice and entered the Time Loop. They were able to convince the townspeople to stand up to the tyrannical Sutter and save Bo, therefore ending the Time Loop and saving him and Phoebe from dying.[2]
The Third LoopEdit
A corrupt club owner from the 1890's, Count Roget, had made a Faustian Deal with the demon Sargon. A fire then killed all of the innocents inside. The Time Loop forced the innocents to relive the fire each day for over a hundred years due to the great injustice. The presence of an evil soul kept all the other souls from moving on. One soul escaped and possessed a friend of Darryl Morris, who warned the sisters. Phoebe and Drake dè Mon then projected their souls into the Time Loop to try to save the souls trapped. Eventually the truth about Count Roget was revealed and he was vanquished, allowing the innocent souls to move on to the afterlife.[3]
- (Book of Shadows text:)
Time LoopsEdit
- A Time Loop is a period of time that repeats itself over
- and over again ad infinitum. Sometimes a Loop is
- localized to a specfic plane or ground, but at other
- times a Loop's effects can be felt globally. A few magical
- beings are powerful enough to create Time Loops such as
- Tempus, the Devil's Sorcerer. But the causes of a Loop can
- also be more Cosmic. For example, certain spiritual
- traditions believe that a great Evil or great injustice can be
- cursed into a Time Loop until righted. Once the evil has been
- eliminated or the injustice has been corrected, Time will
- stop repeating itself and again move forward for those who
- were trapped in the Loop.
