Young musicians showed off their skills at a concert showcasing talent from east London.
The Waltham Forest Dance Band were joined by 180 fellow teenagers from other boroughs for the performance at the Indigo02 on Tuesday February 12.
The event was organised by 'Gateway2Music' group and funded by the Jack Petchey Foundation charity.
There are ten youngsters in the band, aged between 13 and 18, who meet once a week to rehearse.
They come from a variety of sites in Waltham Forest including Chingford Foundation School, Walthamstow School for Girls, Highams Park School, and George Monoux College.
They performed pieces including 'You're the Cream in My Coffee' by Ray Henderson and 'Forgotten Dreams' by Leroy Anderson.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (IRN) — A public salary should not be a road to riches, according to State Sen. Martin Sandoval (D-Cicero). He has commissioned a report of more than 1,000 state employees — mostly judges, professors, and university administrators – whose salaries exceed that of the governor $177,411.96.
Taking particular aim at the college crowd, Sandoval says the state university system has lost its way, focusing only on wealthy Illinoisans and out-of-state students.
University of Illinois spokesman Tom Hardy describes a competitive atmosphere in which the U. of I. is trying to hold onto the best faculty to remain a world-class university.
Retorts Sandoval: "I want a state-class university."
Sandoval's hoping the report, which he asked the Legislative Research Unit to prepare, puts pressure on his fellow lawmakers to do something about the salaries.
The highest-paid people in the report all made $600,000 in base salary in the 12 months ending June 30, 2010: SIU School of Medicine professors Khaled Saleh and Russell Yang; and University of Illinois athletic director Ron Guenther. Circuit judges are paid about $178,000.

A lost 1966 Muhammad Ali interview during which the boxing legend chatted about fighting on Mars has been unearthed as part of a new archive-searching venture.
Documentarian and journalist Michael Aisner was 17 when he was granted an audience with the champion for his Illinois high school radio station. The chat aired once and was then locked away by the interviewer.
When he heard of the new archive project, Aisner dug out the radio moment he had with Ali and now the interview has been posted online.
As well as talking about his start in boxing and his work-out regime, Ali told Aisner he dreamt of becoming the first boxer to fight a Martian on Mars.
He says, "We estimate our time in getting there will be about 10 years... I'll be 10 years older but I'll still be in good shape. I expect the fight to go about 12 seconds. I'm fighting the green giant up there.
"After knocking him out, I hope to be back on earth in about 1986."

Report No.: CCEER-99-11
Title: Axial and Rotational Ductility of Built-Up Structural Steel Members
Authors: Jeremy Woodgate and Ahmad Itani
Date: December 1999
Sponsoring Agency: California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
Performing Organization:
Department of Civil Engineering/258
University of Nevada, Reno
Reno, NV 89557
Analytical and experimental test programs were carried out to determine the axial and rotational ductility of built-up structural steel members. The experimental program consisted of testing steel tension members with several An/Ag ratios to determine their axial ductilities. The results showed that if An/Ag is less than Fy/Fu a brittle failure mode is expected. The experimental program also consisted of subjecting a built-up bolted steel member to a constant axial force and a cyclic lateral displacement to determine its rotational ductility. The built-up member was infilled with concrete to delay local buckling of the flanges. The member failed due to a net section fracture of the top and bottom plates. The analytical investigation consisted of performing monotonic pushover analyses of the built-up bolted member using the computer program Drain-3DX. The yield surface, load vs displacement curves, and moment vs curvature demand curves were established for the built-up steel section. (by authors)

Cross-posted from Investing in Chinese Stocks.
Reuters quoted a trader saying, this market is dead, it doesn't move.
Another trader at a large Chinese bank feels the same: "Hey, everyday a fixed exchange rate, saves me effort."
Other traders see the yuan as being weak against the dollar due to U.S. dollar strength, not yuan weakness. Which is partially the case, but what if the U.S. dollar bull market is only beginning? Yuan Within 0.03% of Weak End of Band Amid Easing Speculation:
The yuan was little changed from Wednesday to close at 6.2589 a dollar, China Foreign Exchange Trade System prices show. The gap with the central bank's reference rate of 6.1379 was 1.97 percent at the close, after earlier widening to 1.9958 percent, near the 2 percent limit.
"It seems that they are leaning toward a weaker yuan but they are doing it very, very slowly and very gradually," said Eddie Cheung, a foreign-exchange strategist at Standard Chartered Plc in Hong Kong, referring to the PBOC. "There's probably going to be some mild intervention just to make sure we don't hit that top band."
Spooked by Yuan Drop: China's Megarich
Because of the extreme concentration of money at the apex of Chinese society, national stability rests to an extraordinary extent in the hands of just two million or so families. They are the top 1% of urban households, and already, their confidence in China's future under President Xi Jinping is shaky.
Many are fleeing with their cash–not all of it, but enough to bid up prices of luxury real estate from Mayfair to Manhattan to Mission Bay, a waterfront neighborhood of Auckland, New Zealand.
Financial authorities are trying to ensure that the remainder doesn't disappear across the borders. A potential trigger for a disorderly exodus of capital, one that could threaten the entire fragile financial system, would be a precipitous decline in the value of the Chinese currency.
That's one reason—an important one—why a sharp yuan drop is unlikely, even though a slowing economy is increasing domestic pressure on the government to let the yuan fall in a bid to boost exports.
Barclays estimates that average daily table revenues in Macau were HK$510.5m (US$66m) for the week to February 23, a period including five days in the holiday period, compared with HK$541m the week before. Phoebe Tse, the bank's gaming analyst, said the figures were "much weaker than we had anticipated".
…Shares in Wynn Macau and Melco Crown Entertainment sank almost 6 per cent on Wednesday, while Sands China fell 5.6 per cent and Galaxy Entertainment Group shed 4.9 per cent.
The stocks tumbled as much as 8 per cent during the trading session, which saw Hong Kong's Hang Seng index finish with a gain of 0.1 per cent. Many gaming companies have seen their share prices fall as much as 50 per cent over the past 12 months as the troubles facing the sector have mounted.
Even the Cambodian casino stocks are selling off though, Beijing's glare deepens crisis in Macau:
During a recent visit to four of the city's glitziest casinos, VIP rooms were mostly desolate, with some shuttered and one boarded up, their tables covered with wood and white cloth.
At nearby pawn shops and jewellers, used by many gamblers to evade China's strict currency controls, and at money remittance agents in the Chinese border city of Zhuhai, there are fewer customers about.
In February last year, operators of the Chinese-controlled enclave's 35 casinos were riding high, their revenues for the month up 40 percent year on year. This year, February revenues are expected to fall 40 percent, having fallen in each of the previous eight months, too.
Shanghai Real Estate Institute released a "typical January 2015 Housing Enterprise Report" shows that in January 2015, including Vanke, Hengda, Poly, the sea, green, Wanda, Country Garden, Shimao, Greentown and financial record, including the top ten housing prices transaction area, the average turnover and turnover performance are unsatisfactory. Among them, the sales amounted to 52.52 billion yuan, a decline of 58.4% mom, down 5% yoy; the average transaction price of 11,727 yuan / square meter, a decline of 15% mom, down 5.3% yoy; closing an area of 4.48 million square meters, a decline of 51.1% mom, an increase of 0.3% yoy.
China eyeing measures to ease housing slump
China is preparing measures to counter a housing market slump and will roll them out if the economy needs support, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The government could reduce down-payment requirements for second homes, the people said, declining to be identified as the information is not public. Another step could be letting homeowners sell properties without paying sales tax after two years, down from five years, they added.
…"The government is quite concerned," Citigroup Inc Hong Kong senior China economist Ding Shuang (丁爽) said by telephone.
While the manufacturing data "shows some rebound, the overall economic downturn is not arrested. The government will carefully monitor the economic data and react," Ding said.
Implementation of the easing policies would depend on whether an economic downturn continues or worsens, the people said.

American Idol Judges 2013: Show Leans On Familiar Faces Amid Racism Allegations
American Idol is preparing for its 13th season and rumors are swirling that a few familiar faces will be back at the judges table.
The main focus of the show's producers is Jennifer Lopez, who was a judge on Idol for two seasons, in 2011 and 2012.
Producers are also talking with season three alum-turned-Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, who has long been believed to be close to finalizing a deal. Keith Urban, the well-liked country star and season 12 judge, looks set to return, and the show might add Will.i.am, who spent the last two seasons as a coach on the U.K. version of The Voice.
While those potential candidates may take some time in order to decide if they want to join the show a former judge recently revealed that her time on the show was a "blessing."
Nicki Minaj, the 30-year-old rapper, does not regret serving as a judge for season 12 of American Idol despite some of the flack she may have received for controversy that she caused on the nationally televised singing competition.
"My experience was great! It was a blessing," she recently revealed to E! News. "I had a wonderful time and I learned a lot about myself; I learned a lot about the world's perception of me. And I think it was a great thing for hip-hop to see me transcend, and then I can come back and still do the BET Awards and still be authentic in what I do."
Minaj served as a judge with the likes of singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, singer Keith Urban and the series veteran and record producer, Randy Jackson. Despite the well-known names on the judges's panel, publications like Forbes and The New York Daily News reported that American Idol underwent its biggest ratings drop in over a decade.

Your choice of running socks can be the difference between a comfortable, pain-free run and a painful one. Wearing the wrong type of socks can lead to foot blisters, chafing, corns, and other issues. Some runners run in the wrong socks for years before they realize how much better their feet could feel in the right type of socks.

Running socks come in many different types of material, thicknesses and sizes. Here are some tips on what to look for.

Choose Synthetic Materials

When choosing socks for running, the most important factor to consider is the material. You want to stay away from 100% cotton socks. Once cotton gets wet, it stays wet. So, when your feet sweat or you step in a puddle, the moisture won't get wicked away. Wearing cotton socks in the winter will make your feet feel cold and clammy. And they'll cause blisters in the summer.

The best running socks are ones that are made from synthetic materials such as polyester, acrylic, and CoolMax because they'll wick away moisture. Look for a breathable, anti-chafe material. For winter running, wool blends such as SmartWool are also a good choice. Some runners choose to wear double-layer socks (WrightSock is one brand) for additional blister protection.

Although some runners like thicker socks for additional cushioning, others prefer thin socks for a "lighter" feel, especially in warmer weather. When shopping for running shoes, make sure you try on shoes with the socks you're going to be running in because some socks will require you to go up a half-size.

Other Important Sock Features

Another great feature is padded soles, which can give your heels some extra cushion. Other things to look for are a seam-free toe section, which can further reduce your risk of blisters, and an elastic arch lock, which helps keep your sock in place. If you prefer no-show socks, just make sure that they have a tab that goes above your running shoe and over your Achilles, so your shoe isn't digging into or irritating your skin.

Hanley gears up for bittersweet return to Miami
Ringolsby: Hanley set for bittersweet return to Miami
LOS ANGELES -- Hanley Ramirez is excited. After the Los Angeles Dodgers knocked off the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night, remaining 1 1/2 games back of National League West-leading San Francisco, Ramirez was getting ready to show off his new-found friends in Dodger Blue to his family and old friends in Miami. The Dodgers open a three-game series against the Marlins on Friday night at Marlins Park. It will be Ramirez's first trip back since the Marlins sent him to the Dodgers in a July 25 trade, ending a 6 1/2-year run with the South Florida franchise.
It was a bittersweet deal for Ramirez. "I am happy because they dealt me to a contender," he said. "There is a lot of talent here, and everybody is working together." Miami was the franchise that gave Ramirez a chance to establish himself in the big leagues, and while the team was rarely a contender during his time there, he felt he developed a strong relationship with owner Jeffrey Loria, a friendship with his teammates and a strong bond with the fans. The Dodgers, however, afford Ramirez the long-awaited chance to be in a playoff race, and added him because they believe he will be a critical piece for not only their middle infield, but also the middle of their lineup. "It was hard to leave there because I had been there so long, but I want to win, we all want to win, and I appreciate that Miami gave me the opportunity to come to Los Angeles," he said. "The Marlins will always be part of me. They gave me the chance to play in the big leagues, and my family will always live there. But this is a business, and decisions have to be made. "This is a new beginning for me and a new beginning for them." This isn't what the Marlins had in mind at the beginning of the season. Moving into their new ballpark, management went all-out to make an impact on the South Florida sports fan. They brought in Ozzie Guillen to be the manager and splurged to sign free-agent starter Mark Buehrle, closer Heath Bell and shortstop Jose Reyes, which prompted the move of Ramirez to third base. They also gambled on Cubs malcontent Carlos Zambrano, and in late June, Miami swung a deal to acquire the run-producing bat of Carlos Lee from Houston. Good idea. Bad execution. A team that was 31-27 on June 9 had stumbled to a 45-53 record by the time Ramirez was dealt on July 25. This is everything the Dodgers could have wanted. Given the emotional lift of new ownership earlier in the season, they then saw the new group step up to add reinforcements to help in a race with San Francisco and Arizona. They have added five new players to the 25-man roster in the past two weeks, including outfielder Shane Victorino, starting pitcher Joe Blanton, left-handed reliever Randy Choate, right-handed reliever Brandon League, and Ramirez, who has moved back to his natural position of shortstop. "It was important to show the fans we are committed to winning," said Dodgers president Stan Kasten, "but more importantly, it was important to let the players know we are going to do what we can do to help them win." Consider the message delivered. "More than anything, it showed our ownership's commitment," said left-hander Clayton Kershaw. "We had holes. They were filled. Ownership has put a team on the field capable of winning. Now it is on us to win." Blanton adds depth to the rotation. Choate and League provide balance to the bullpen. Victorino is the needed leadoff hitter and a perfect third in the outfield with Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier. And then there is Ramirez. "Matt and Andre are the guys, but adding Shane and Hanley creates that lineup depth that makes it a challenge for the other pitcher," said Kershaw. "Hanley is always a challenge. He has so much talent, so many tools. He is a welcomed addition." On Friday night the baseball world will find out if his return to Miami is welcomed. "It is something he is going to have to deal with," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "It's part of the game. I don't know what to expect fan-wise. They are not drawing real well." Ramirez expects a warm welcome. "There are good people in Miami, the ownership, the players, the fans," he said. But this year, they are disappointed, which is why Ramirez is with the Dodgers. "Everybody gave everything they had but it didn't work," said Ramirez. "So changes were made." No complaints from Ramirez.

LOS ANGELES - The union representing MTA bus and rail operators gave the strike-paralyzed transit agency a new proposal today, but the talks recessed with no progress reported and no new talks scheduled, officials said.
The bottom line is that the transit strike will continue and county buses and commuter trains won't be running again tomorrow, as the strike nears the two-week mark, said the MTA's Mike Sotero.
Talks between the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the United Transportation Union resumed at 10 a.m. today and ended about 4:15 p.m. Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration downtown, Sotero said.
"No progress was made on negotiations and no further talks are scheduled," he said.
The UTU gave the MTA a response to the transit agency's latest proposal for a new contract, said the UTU's Goldy Norton.
Although no more meetings are scheduled, he said the two sides could be called back to the bargaining table at any time by a state conciliator.
He added that the two sides talked face-to-face today.
The drivers are not on strike but they are honoring the picket lines of striking mechanics, who walked off the job Oct. 14.
Talks with the mechanics yesterday aimed at resolving the transit strike - which is now in its 13th day - ended after the union presented the MTA with a new contract proposal, an MTA spokesperson said.
Discussions broke off about 1:10 p.m. yesterday, said Bill Heard of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
MTA officials are going to review the proposal, said Heard. Contact between the two sides continued to be through a mediator, said Heard. No face-to-face discussions were held.
No new talks with the Amalgamated Transit Union - representing MTA mechanics - are scheduled.
The most-publicized snag in reaching a deal with the mechanics has centered on control over the mechanics' union-run, cash-depleted health fund.
Still to be determined is whether the MTA, in exchange for an infusion of money, will have more oversight of the fund.
The agency has offered to pay $4.7 million to help keep the fund afloat, up from $4 million, Marc Littman of the MTA said earlier.
The mechanics strike has idled the MTA's fleet of buses and trains and left more than 400,000 riders in the lurch.
In addition to the mechanics and the bus and train operators, the MTA is negotiating labor contracts with unions for its clerks and security guards.
In 2000, MTA drivers went out for 32 days. Yaroslavsky said the unions then settled for the same thing MTA had offered before the strike.

Language Learning & Technology
Language Study and the Brain
SUNY Cortland
Robert Ponterio
SUNY Cortland
Many foreign language teachers wishing to keep up with current ideas for improving their teaching based on research findings may not be able to attend professional conferences as often as they might wish. Web-based presentations may be a possible alternative to attending a live presentation on a particular topic. While such Web presentations certainly do not replace conferences, they can represent an additional and worthwhile avenue of access to current information and ideas, especially for those teachers who live far from the typical conference venue and who receive little financial support for professional development.
Foreign Language Study and the Brain, a site created and maintained by Dr. Teresa Kennedy of the University of Idaho, is a good place to start for those foreign language (FL) educators who wish to find out more about how the brain works and how those workings relate to second language acquisition. The goal of this Web site is stated clearly on the home page:
Historical brain research, combined with a review of effective foreign language methodology and research, provides a framework that teachers can utilize to incorporate brain-sensitive activities that foster memory storage and language retrieval. Recent research about the brain, general recommendations for classroom teaching and assorted activities are provided on this Web site.
The site, in English and Spanish, is part of the University of Idaho Virtual Campus. The material presented is organized by a clickable line at the bottom of the home page:
A brief synopsis of the material contained each section will provide the reader with an idea of what resources can be found at this site.
Brain Research in the Foreign Language Classroom
Several general resources about the brain and learning appear in this section. These give the reader access to background on the topic from the viewpoints of neuroscience, general pedagogy, and foreign language pedagogy. Links include two to books that deal with brain studies and teaching: Brain Topics: A Handbook for Teachers and Parents and How People Learn. Both works address issues of interest to classroom teachers such as brain functioning, how to design an optimal learning environment, and strategies for teacher learning to name a few. They also provide ample bibliographies for those wishing to delve further into this subject. The article Summarizing Concepts about Teacher Education, Learning and Neuroscience calls for teacher education researchers to begin to associate with their neuroscience colleagues. The link to Brain Research and Education offers many articles for and by educators that appear both in scholarly journals and in the public press.
In terms of research
specific to second language learning, we find essays on early
language learning and language
learning after puberty. Another essay discusses the limitations
on foreign language study in the U.S. One can also access Fred Genesees ERIC
Digest on Brain Research: Implications
for Second Language Learning from this page.
Dr. Kennedy offers an annotated list of 16 FL teaching methods that will be a good refresher for those long out of their FL methods courses. She includes some comments on the correlation between these methods and learning in the FL classroom, emphasizing that "there is no single 'BEST WAY' to teach."
The page devoted to Activities gives a large nod to Gardner and his theory of Multiple Intelligences. This is indeed one area of brain research that has attracted the attention of many foreign language teachers. The intelligences are listed with links to suggested concomitant activities of a general nature. Another link leads to some specific activity suggestions, complete with clip art. The passage from the research principles to classroom implementation through sample activities helps teachers better grasp the potential applications of the research in their daily lives.
Finally, Dr. Kennedy has provided, in PowerPoint format, a presentation on Creating a Brain Compatible Classroom: An Overview of Brain Research and Language Learning, given with Terry Armstrong at the annual conference of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages in November, 2002.
In addition to the results of a study of the brains of monolingual and bilingual teachers, the presentation includes a discussion of memory and information storage. The presentation also offers numerous fascinating graphics of the brain and its component parts. One caveat: This presentation has been optimized for more recent versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer and may not function on Netscape.
The Foreign Language Study and the Brain site is an excellent example of an effort to bring professional development to foreign language teachers using the Internet for access to instruction that has traditionally been found in the classroom, in conferences, and in the published literature. By using the Web to offer easy access to a condensed overview of the topic as well as broader background information, appropriate sample lessons, and an electronic presentation simulating the conference experience, Dr. Kennedy has shown us a direction that many conference presenters could take to disseminate their professional development offerings much more widely, bringing the word to teachers who would not otherwise have been able to participate.

Parreira: Brazil must improve or we go home
Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira has warned his team they must improve or they will be going home.
Parreira's men take on France in Frankfurt with a World Cup semi-final place up for grabs.
Brazil have cruised into the last eight in Germany but will be tested against the 1998 winners.
'If we don't give a leap in quality we will be going home,' said Parreira.
'Our rivals are no ordinary team, they were world champions.'
Les Bleus struggled in the group stages after draws against Switzerland and South Korea and they only scraped through following a victory over Togo.
However, Parreira believes that Les Bleus' convincing 3-1 triumph against Spain in the second round will have given their rivals confidence.
'I think France have grown as the tournament has progressed,' said Parreira.
'They have shown their quality at the right time.'
However, Parreira is confident his team can handle France, who beat them 3-0 in the 1998 final in Paris.
'We know what awaits us,' he said. 'They are in no hurry to play their game, they play with a certain calmness and suddenly explode with a fast manoeuvre which usually comes from (Thierry) Henry.
'The great virtue of French football is their technique.'
Parreira is hopeful that his team show their true colours tonight.
'Brazil has no option but to play well,' he said.
'We have to play good football if we want to knock France out of the competition.'

Add a good set of night sights if you desire, and shoot. Seriously though, the main reason there is such a huge aftermarket for Glocks is due to their popularity and the fact that people will buy these parts. I am not a competition shooter. I have however, known a few who shoot Glocks and do have the extended controls and aftermarket sights. That use aside, keep it stock. The Grip Force adapter... Get a 1911 if you want a beavertail. If your Glock is biting you - learn how to properly grip it. My stock guiderod, as well as many others I'm sure, has lasted thousands of rounds. If you're going to get a guidrod, get a stock replacement for a backup. A recoil buffer...? I didn't know there was one for a Glock... Why? A butt plug... I don't have a problem with them (for my Glock) I just don't use them. Hogue grip sleeve... I have two and I did use them because I WAS getting bitten by my Glock. Someone showed me what was wrong with my grip and I lost the Hogue sleeves. It is so easy to get drawn in to the aftermarket parts craze. But do yourself a huge favor - save that money, get a two year GSSF membership, wait for your purchase coupon, and get your Glock a new friend!

Left over Wolf tags GONE
I did not get drawn for the 1st ever Minnesota Wolf hunting season.
Today at 12 noon the left over tags for the 1st season went on sale. I applied for the late season and there will be a sale if any of those tags are not purchased but my cousin a few towns west of me called to insure i was aware of the sale. I was but then got interested in how long it would take, so i drove over to the only store in town with an ELS on site and there were 4 folks waiting on the clock to strike 12.
Well one was a trapper that wasn't drawn and he backed away when he learned that sale if necessary would happen after the deadline for those tags to be purchased.
One was a young feller that hadn't applied and wasn't eligible to buy.
then the other 2 got to buy a Wolf tag and were happy as can be.
One of them got on the phone with his son and learned that the son didn't get one as when he got done entering in all the info the sale was over.
I called my cousin and he got his as he was 1st in line even though he didn't know about the sale and stopped in 20 min prior to buy a light bulb and talking to the store manager learned of the sale.,
the next guy in line behind him got a tag, but the next one lost out. In less than 10 min. the sale was all over.
I have been looking for a number of left over tags were up for sale.
The state is selling like 7,000 tags for all seasons and a number of 600 was told but I do not know where that originated.
i will be in line for the next sale if there is one.
And my cousin forgot to buy the light bulb!

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- If the Toronto Blue Jays thought the Tampa Bay Rays would be easy pickings without David Price on the mound they were dead wrong.
Price, the Rays' lefty ace, was scratched from making his start Saturday due to a stomach virus and remains doubtful for Sunday's series finale.
With Price a no-go the Rays moved Jake Odorizzi up one day in the rotation and the right-hander responded by giving the Rays a solid outing in helping Tampa Bay to a 10-3 victory.
This game the Jays bullpen took a beating.
After Friday's triumph, the Jays were looking to secure the series with a win, which would have marked their first series victory at Tropicana Field since 2006.
On that they'll have to wait at least another day.
The Rays put the game away with six runs in the sixth inning to make a loser of Drew Hutchison, 7-7, who has lost his last two starts, both on this road trip.
Hutchison had been in survivor mode for all but one of his innings but couldn't escape the sixth when the Rays loaded the bases with nobody out on two walks and a single.
Hutchison struck out Jose Molina for the first out — the right-hander's 100th punch out this season — but lost pinch-hitter Cole Figueroa when he walked him on a 3-2 pitch to bring in the go-ahead run.
That was it for Hutchison. He was replaced by J.A. Happ, who was bumped from making the start Sunday in favour of R.A. Dickey.
Happ added fuel to the fire as he surrendered a two-run single to Kevin Kiermaier, RBI single to Ben Zobrist and bloop two-run single by Matt Joyce.
Sergio Santos was no better in the eighth inning allowing two additional runs.
Odorizzi, by the way, held the Jays to three runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings to move to 5-8. He walked two batters and struck out seven.
The Jays took a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning and looked to be on the verge of building a big inning before things were shut down quickly.
Jose Bautista started it off with a sharply hit grounder that second baseman Sean Rodriguez initially fumbled. He then hurried his throw to first, which was off line and bounced into the Rays dugout allowing Bautista to advance to second base on the error.
Dan Johnson came to thep late and on a check swing dropped a bunt-like roller up the third-base line for an infield single that also moved Bautista to third. Dioner Navarro followed with a line drive rocket up the middle to give the Jays a 2-1 lead.
But with two on and nobody out the rally stopped there as both Colby Rasmus and Juan Francisco struck out and Steve Tolleson ground into a fielder's choice.
The lead didn't last long as Tampa Bay came back with a run in the bottom of the frame on an RBI single by Jose Molina. The Rays then stranded two runners as Hutchison came back to strike out both Sean Rodriguez and Keirmaier.
The wheels of Kiermaier, the Rays' leadoff hitter, plus some nonchalance on the part of Jays right fielder Anthony Gose led to the Rays putting a run on the board in the first.
Kiermaier opened with a line drive to right. Gose fielded the ball in casual fashion and was caught off guard when the Rays centre fielder raced around first base and headed to second. By the time Gose gathered the ball and fired to second, Kiermaier had easily beaten the throw.
After moving to third base on a deep fly to centre field, Kiermaier came trotting home on a sac fly to centre by Matt Joyce.
The Jays came back to tie it 1-1 in the second inning thanks to a miscue by Kiermaier.
Believing he could outrun the ball, Kiermaier raced in on a sinking line drive off the bat of Colby Rasmus. Diving forward for the ball, he came up short and the ball bounded by him and rolled all the way to the wall by which time Rasmus found himself an easy triple.
Juan Francisco brought him home with a sac fly to left field.

New DH-1 KEX default warning causes exception in automation so they stop working.
The change which was introduced in 5.8.3
"Change: By default, warning is issued when using Diffie-Hellman group 1 key exchange algorithm."
causes problems when using automation as there seems to be no way to specify default warning or using .ini file to avoid this.
I have tested to create same user@site and save it to .ini file without warning, but it is not picked up. Also I don't see any SessionOptions in automation for this.
I know there is RAW settings that can be used, but it is not easy to recompile the automation applications as soon as there is a new WinSCP bug fixed version with some new default setting.
Can we have option to specify default KEX Warn server wide or use .ini file that is in same folder where WinSCP.exe automation is running?
Or can we disable this warning in automation code and only log warning to the log file without throwing exception?

Re: KEX Warn default option change force automation developers to have to recompile their applications
As you have found already, you can use the "KEX" raw setting.
There's no way to change this globally. If you need to allow global changes by an external configuration file, just implement it yourself.
You can easily introduce a configuration file with a key-value syntax like:
And just call
sessionOptions.AddRawSettings(key, value) for each pair.
Though actually, you should upgrade your server not to use an obsolete KEX algorithm!
You can post new topics in this forum

The confusion over municipal taxpayer standing has continued unmitigated since the Frothingham court first affirmed the doctrine in 1923. Since that time, federal courts, and state courts following federal law on standing (such as the Wisconsin Court of Appeals), have floundered amidst a sea of inconsistent and perplexing opinions. It would behoove this Court to eliminate the confusion, once and for all, by creating a streamlined approach to analyzing municipal taxpayer standing issues, just as it has done in the past for federal and state taxpayer standing. "[C]lear rules foster respect for the judiciary; they require judges to render consistent outcomes and ensure that judges draw on a body of law that represents the collective experience of the judiciary over time rather than upon their own political or ideological viewpoints." For these reasons, amici respectfully request that this Court grant the instant Petition for Certiorari and clarify the matter of municipal taxpayer standing for the benefit of the lower courts and municipal taxpayers throughout the United States.

Earlier Annie Lennox performed her hit "Walking On Broken Glass", then a moving rendition of "There Must Be An Angel" to a piano accompaniment. Other acts performing for the 2,000 guests plus Prince Charles and sons William and Harry included the BEE GEES, SUGABABES and RONAN KEATING. Showman David Blaine also made a surprise appearance. Trust bosses, headed by Charles, expect the gig to raise millions for underprivileged youngsters.

Jessica Simpson Passes on Prenup—Again!
Jessica Simpson apparently didn't retain the financial lessons from her costly 2006 divorce from Nick Lachey.
PopEater reports that the singer/actress—who became engaged to her current boyfriend, football player Eric Johnson, over the weekend—has once again declined to ask for a prenuptial agreement, despite Lachey walking away from their marriage with a sizable chunk of cash. According to an insider,
"Nick walked away with over $10 million of her money when they divorced, because they had no prenup. You would think she would have learned her lesson. But where romance is concerned, Jess follows her heart not her head."
That could end up being a costly decision. While estimates of Simpson's worth vary, in 2009 she told Vanity Fair that her overall brand is worth $400 million.
The lack of a prenup isn't sitting too well with her father/manager, Joe Simpson. According to a family friend, Papa Joe is publicly giving his blessing to the engagement, while privately fuming that she would risk her fortune, 10 percent of which goes to him in the form of managerial fees:
"At the moment, Joe is sitting back and being a great father, supporting his daughter and his future son-in-law. However, you can bet after all the excitement has died down, Joe is going to do everything in his power to make sure Jessica doesn't walk down the aisle until Eric signs away any right he might have to Jessica's enormous fortune."
Though Simpson and Johnson have been dating since May, Johnson only recently finalized a divorce from his first wife, Keri.

it is important that you regularly check your landscape if you live in an area that is vulnerable to sinkholes. If you are unsure whether or not you live in a sinkhole risk area, you can check with your local geological survey agency to find out more information. Signs to watch out for in terms of sinkhole development include small holes in the ground, if a structure is found to have cracks in its foundation, or any of these other common warning signs of a sinkhole. If you have discovered a sinkhole that is threatening a house or another structure, be sure to get out immediately to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Then, contact your local emergency personnel and a building inspector. If you discover a sinkhole in the middle of a road, be sure to contact local law enforcement.
Most can be mitigated
Most sinkholes can be mitigated before they grow too large if they are identified and fixed early on. Most of the time, a sinkhole can be repaired before a dangerous collapse situation happens.
However, in those instances where a sinkhole can develop very quickly, it is important to be vigilant and aware of the warning signs, such as cracking noises in a roof or in a building's foundation slab.
What about insurance and permits?
In most cases, sinkholes that occur on a person's private property are considered to be their own responsibility. Insurance companies are much more likely to cover an evaluation and a repair if the sinkhole was naturally caused, such as by a subsidence event, than if it is caused by people, such as a collapsed or broken sewer pipe and drainpipe, broken septic tanks, buried trash, or improperly compacted soil following construction activities¹.
Typically, permits are not required to fill a sinkhole on private property (check with your local authorities to be certain). If the sinkhole contains groundwater (and thus, is connected to a local aquifer), however, a sinkhole fill permit will likely be required by a local Environmental Protection Authority or Water Management District to ensure that proper actions are taken to prevent groundwater contamination².
Small sinkhole repair
Smaller sinkholes, such as those that are 1 to 3 feet in diameter and depth can be easily filled in yourself¹.
- It is important to monitor the sinkhole to make sure that it does not grow any larger over time. If not, then it can be filled in.
- Dry-mix concrete or a concrete plug can be added to the bottom of the hole to provide a solid base.
- Add clayey sand. This will help to keep water from leaking out of the hole to prevent it from growing larger over time. A local contractor should know where to obtain the clayey sand. If clayey sand is unavailable, pure clean sand works as well. Rocks can also be used to help fill in the hole at this stage.
- Add sand and topsoil on top of the previous layers in order to help things blend in with the surrounding landscape. It is possible that you will need to add additional fill at a later time, but eventually the hole should become stabilized.
Engineering techniques used to fill sinkholes include injection of grout, engineered reinforced plugs, pins, and porous concrete².
But what about the very large… huge… and mammoth-sized sinkholes?
Large sinkholes typically require engineering professionals to properly repair them and to follow the necessary environmental requirements concerning local aquifers.
In some cases, cement and rocks are used to fill the very large sinkholes. However, it is possible that by simply using concrete alone to fill these big holes, the water may actually concentrate in other nearby areas, potentially leading to additional sinkhole formation.
The most preferred way to fix these very large sinkholes is similar to the method that is outlined above to fix smaller sinkholes, called the graded-filter technique, where there are layers of boulders, smaller rocks, and then gravel that are placed into the hole. The advantage of this technique is that it fills the hole while allowing for water drainage.
However, if the sinkholes are caused by older and decaying infrastructure, such as a leaky sewage system in your city, more sinkholes are likely to develop until such problems are fixed. This is especially the case if you live in a geographic area that is already vulnerable to sinkholes.
Fortunately, the dramatic cover-collapse type of large sinkholes that instantly swallow up buildings and cars are fairly rare³.
Some caution is advised!
Because many sinkholes are connected to aquifers, it is important that you do not fill them with any materials that could potentially be harmful to the groundwater supply, such as trash or chemicals. The best materials to use to fix a sinkhole are natural earth materials such as clean limestone rock, sand, and clayey sand².

67th ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY A TIME TO MEMORIALIZE LOCAL HERO WHO FOUGHT
On June 6th, 1944, the United States and our allies charged the beaches of France in the largest air, land, sea and military operation the world has ever known. The landing included over 5,000 ships, 11,000 airplanes, and over 150,000 service men. When it was over, the Allied Forces had suffered nearly 10,000 casualties; more than 4,000 were dead. This tremendous show of courage and sacrifice represents one of the most defining moments in our Nation's history. As mankind faced one of its darkest hours, the men who fought on D-Day turned the tide of World War II and helped preserve liberty for future generations across the globe.
Tony DeTomaso of Auburn was one of those men. As a member of the 299th Combat Engineer Battalion, he was among the first wave of troops that landed on the beaches of Normandy during the invasion. Tony was only 19 when he and his fellow soldiers fought to clear the beaches so that Allied troops could set up their command posts. During the battle, six members of the 299th made the ultimate sacrifice and died fighting to liberate the world from tyranny and oppression.
Tony was a member of the greatest generation of Americans, soldiers who left their homes and loved ones to go overseas to fight and shed their blood in defense of world freedom. When I first met Tony several years ago, we discussed the tremendous sacrifices that were made by the 299th Engineer Combat Battalion during World War II. His devotion to his fellow veterans was inspiring, and I pledged that I would do all possible to help him ensure that these brave men receive the recognition they deserve so that future generations will know of their sacrifices.
Tony was instrumental in perpetuating the memory of our military heroes who served on D-Day. Every year on June 6th, he organized a reunion of the 299th Engineer Combat Battalion here in Auburn to commemorate our local veterans for their service and commitment on that fateful day.
Monday marks the 67th anniversary of D-Day and the first year that Tony will not be with us. He passed away on February 11th at the age of 86, but his legacy lives on as we gather once again to commemorate D-Day and reflect on the sacrifices our veterans have made to preserve our freedoms, protect our democracy, and secure a safer, more peaceful world.
Earlier this year, I was proud to author with Assemblyman Gary Finch and introduce a special, formal New York State Legislative Resolution honoring Tony's compassion, his courage and his many contributions to our community.
It has been stated that memory is the most sincere form of honor. For years, Tony DeTomaso proudly kept the memory of D-Day and the 299th Combat Engineer Battalion alive in Auburn. Now, we celebrate his memory and his generous spirit that profoundly affected all those all he served with and befriended.
The young men who fought on D-Day were people like you and me. They had families, dreams and hopes for the future. These courageous Americans, when called upon to protect our country, served with honor, dignity and valor.
There is no greater debt of honor we owe than that which we owe to our veterans. To the servicemen who risked their lives, and those who paid the ultimate price, please know we will never forget.


text: I run a lawn care company in Missouri. I don't know if anyone else out there is from Missouri (that would be great). I recently obtained the information from the state about obtaining a pesticide license to fertilize and apply pesticide. I was reading the rules and regulations book (there are two other books I have to read as well still), and I just wanted to know if it was really worth it. I know it would be easier to just sub it out, but do most of you guys do the fertilizing yourselves, and do you have the proper licensing for it? I was just curious, because my test is coming up and I was just debating taking it still.

City Hall will break ground
Maitland will start construction on its new city hall this week, with a groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Friday.
The shovels will hit the dirt more than six years after residents voted for a referendum that approved $8.5 million in bonds for a new city hall, fire station and police station. The city hall is the last project to get off the ground.
"This is going to be something that's long overdue and joyously received," Councilwoman Bev Reponen said.
Independence Lane, immediately east of the new city hall site, is temporarily closed to accommodate construction of both city hall and the fire station.
'Catalyst' for town center
Maitland has also been struggling to jumpstart its downtown revitalization, seeing two developers come and go with no change to the four-block area. The new city hall, Mayor Howard Schieferdecker said, will jumpstart interest in the project.
"This is the catalyst," Schieferdecker said. "Once we start construction (on city hall), there will be more interest from outside developers." He said there are already some firms interested in developing property north of Horatio Avenue and the former Winn-Dixie and Royal Plaza site.
Maitland City Council terminated the development agreement for the Maitland Town Center in December after developer Bob Reese filed Ch. 11 bankruptcy protection to stave off a foreclosure sale of the former Winn-Dixie and Royal Plaza parcels. The development agreement had originally included the fire station and city hall, but city officials carved out those projects because the city had the money to proceed.
The design
The new $4 million Mediterranean-style city hall designed by ACi will be 24,000 square feet, three stories tall and have a cupola that extends into the sky.
The building was originally slated to be 30,000 square feet but was knocked down to 24,000 because of dwindling funds and staffing cuts. The city will be able to add on the additional 6,000 square feet in the future if needed, Community Development Director Dick Wells said.
"I hope it proves to be large enough," Reponen said.
The new building will allow non-emergency city staff to all be under one roof — they're currently housed in several buildings around the city. There will be art displayed in the foyer through a partnership with the non-profit organization Art & History Museums, Maitland. The City Council chambers will be more of a functional space complete with removable chairs.
Projects rising
The new city hall will be built near the current City Hall, on Independence Lane and Packwood Avenue, adjacent to the new fire station. The Edward Doyle Police Headquarters was completed November 2009 on Fennell Street.
The fire station broke ground in March. It will be finished in about a year. The city hall will be completed two months later.
"The city building these buildings will establish confidence in this area, and I hope it will let property owners know that we're serious about making downtown into a viable area that we expect to succeed," Wells said.

The groundbreaking event for Maitland City Hall is 8:30 a.m. June 3 just to the south of the current City Hall on Independence Lane. Coffee will served at 8 a.m. Visit itsmymaitland.com for more information.

To be successful in sport, you need the right attitude. Honesty, dignity, fair play, respect, teamwork, commitment and courage are essential to a memorable sporting performance. All these values can be summed up in the term 'fair play'.
Fair play has to do with the choices you make - what is right and wrong. People will notice how you play the game. You will get a reputation for being a good or a bad sport which will follow you around long after the competition is over. It can shape how people act towards you before they even get to know you. To conform with the spirit of sport and build a good reputation, always:
- show respect for yourself and for others (competitors, umpires/referees and officials);
- respect the rules of the competition and of clean sport;
- be gracious as much in victory as in defeat;
- have fun and enjoy being part of the action!
Sport has little meaning without fair play. We play sport because of the chance to show our unique talents, to share, to make friends and to have fun. Fair play makes all this possible.

British rock band Oasis is widely considered one of the pioneers of the Britpop movement of the 1990s. The band released seven successful albums in their 18-year-long career before disbanding in 2009.
During the Britpop era, Oasis' musical prowess, and their ability keep people guessing, gathered them a loyal fan following that continues even today. To capture their days of glory and their legacy, the production team of "Amy," the Oscar-nominated documentary on Amy Winehouse, has announced a new documentary on the band, titled "Supersonic." The documentary, scheduled to be released in October, will be directed by Mat Whitecross, produced by James Gay Rees, and Asif Kapadia, the director of "Amy," will act as the executive producer.
Named after Oasis' debut single released in 1994, "Supersonic" will document the band's entire career, starting from the time Noel Gallagher and his brother Liam started creating music together to the time they finally decided to call it quits. The documentary will include detailed interviews with the band members and also previously unseen rare footage of the band in their heydays. The filmmakers were given access to the band's archives to put together this documentary.
Oasis acted as an influence on the sound of many future bands, such as The Killers, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, Maroon 5, Keane and Kasabian. Their songs, like "Wonderwall," "Champagne Supernova," "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Supersonic," continue to remain popular even today.

Easy Action plans to release one of the last known live performances of Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett.
The label's managing director, Carlton Sandercock, tells "Floydian Slip," "We have indeed purchased and are preparing to release a live set by The Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band featuring Bruce Pain, Jack Monk and Twink. Guesting is Fred Frith and, on two maybe three songs, Syd Barrett.
"The music played in this set is a million miles away from anything Pink Floyd have ever done," he adds.
The performance was recorded Jan. 27, 1972, at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, England.
The set list is as follows:
- Sea Cruise
- L.A. to London Boogie
- Nadine
- Drinkin' That Wine
- Number Nine (Gotta Be Reason)
- Let's Roll
- Sweet Little Angel
Auction house Bonhams put up for bid a reel tape of the show in June 2010. Expecting to fetch $5,000, the item didn't meet its reserve price and was later sold to Easy Action. (See "Rare Syd Barrett recording up for auction" and "Rare Barrett recording goes unsold")
The label plans to release the recording, possibly as a vinyl-only release to being with, in March.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Guitars in the Classroom, San Diego, CA, USA
GITC is amazing. Every year, the education bureaucracy cuts the arts to make room for tested subjects--completely overlooking the substantial research that arts and MUSIC integration enhances learning and student achievement. GITC makes it possible for thousands of classrooms to be vibrant, musical, collaborative learning communities--bound in song. Aristotle said that music is vital because it makes the mind ready for other kinds of learning. So right.
Well done, Jessica Baron and company. Well done.

Provide a lifetime funding stream. A guitar for every classroom!

Our Little Miss T had a fantastic year this year. She has learned to say words, and she has learned to walk really really good! She might walk better than most two-year-olds, but it's really hard to tell because there isn't an Olympic event for toddler walking, so we're not sure how to gauge her ability with perfect accuracy. But that's okay because she gave us something different to share with you. Tessa is now fascinated with knives! We learned about this fascination when I came into the kitchen one afternoon and she was standing on a chair by the sink holding the largest butcher knife known to man and smiling coyly at me. So as not to scare her, I calmly approached her and said "what do you have there, T?" and she grinned and handed me the hefty blade, and I sighed with relief when she neither accidentally cut off her own face, nor gouged out my good eye with her new toy. We responded to this development by placing the knives on the highest shelf in the kitchen. Because we're good parents.
As you might guess, days later we came in to see her standing on the counter holding the same knife and smiling like she'd found a great treasure. Clearly this girl has a love for knives and an uncanny ability to acquire them. It's a lot like being an Olympic gymnast. Except with knives and climbing counters and stuff.
Her greatest feat with knife procurement though was when we found her randomly running around the kitchen with a brand-new razor sharp Cutco knife. Not sure if you are familiar with these things, but they are sharp enough to cut through bone, so she was basically running around gleefully with a death-stick that could easily remove entire limbs off her sisters. We risked losing digits getting it from her. We were absolutely baffled by this and had no idea where it came from. Eventually, though, we realized that it was a gift for Lolly which we'd placed under the tree (not knowing what it was). Tessa wasn't interested in presents. She hasn't opened another one before or since--the only gift that called out to her was the knife, and she knew exactly which one it was. We're pretty sure this is a sign of genius. Because nothing says "I have a high IQ" like being able to find sharp metal wrapped in paper left on the ground by incredibly observant parents. Go Tessa!
Next, we have our little Viva le France, age 4.
Viva loves all things fashion and accessories. She also loves animals. (Sidenote: Viva has been in tears several times this year because we will not buy her a real chihuahua for her to carry around in her purse. She has recently decided that instead of a chihuahua she would like a "crinkle" dog (aka a pug). We read up on pugs and learned that they are couch potatoes who don't like to exercise and that they are social, loyal pets. Obviously, with those qualifications the pug is a perfect dog for the Weed household! Our landlords won't allow us to have pets though, so we'll have to wait to initiate Pug Weed into the family until we can buy a place of our own. For now, Felix and Alex, our parakeets, will remain the only Weed pets.) Anyway, we recently discovered that one of the main reasons Viva wants a dog is because she wants to "dress it up." We have caught her many times at her craft table fashioning dog clothes out of paper, tape, and staples. Perfect for warmth in the winter months! If you are interested in having Viva make your pet an outfit, please post your dog's picture and measurements in the comments and she will decide if your pet inspires her or not.
Anna, age 6, has found new meaning in life by expressing her deep-felt emotions through dramatic phrasing. And also crying. There are.... so many examples of this new dramatic gift that we're hard pressed to choose just a couple. Here's one: Viva was sitting at her craft table trying to make a check book cover out of paper and tape. When Lolly noticed what she was making, she remembered that there happened to be an old check book cover that belonged to her grandfather in the office. (Remember how Lolly is kind of a hoarder?) She gave it to Viva, and Viva was thrilled. When Anna came home from school and learned that Lolly had given that precious family heirloom to Viva instead of her she came running into the office in tears. "Viva gets all of the special things from our grandparents," she said to Lolly. "When it's all said and done, I will have nothing. Nothing but an empty heart!" She refrained from throwing herself to the floor as she said this, but we're not sure why.
Here's another classic: Lolly has been the first counselor in the Primary presidency (the children's organization in the Mormon church) for two years. She was recently released from that calling where she had previously been very involved with the girls, and interacted with them at church every week. We had to tell Anna ahead of time so she wouldn't create a scene at church. This ended up being a wise move. When we told her what was happening, she was immediately moved to tears. "Your time in Primary has passed away!" she gasped, cupping her head in her hands. "I thought you'd be there forever but I guess my dreams have ended. I never thought my dreams would end..." by this point she was full-on weeping. "It's too horrible to even think about!" Cue: hysterics. (Um, does it mean we're bad parents if we laughed while trying to comfort her?) Pretty much what this means is that when she's a teenager we're totally screwed.
Josh (age 32) and Lolly (age 34)
Well, what is there to say? Truth be told, Lolly and I have had a pretty unremarkable year. Just the same ol' same ol' for us! You know how it goes. Things were so commonplace--so boring and mundane--that there isn't really that much to share. I did write a couple of things, so that was nice, but other than that, things were so standard that there's not a lot worth mentioning. Well, I guess Lolly did finally clear our stainless steal appliances in the kitchen. And I switched out my old toothbrush. Go hygiene! Just livn' the dream. Ya know?
All right. Let's close this sucker out with some family photos. These are of the entire Weed clan minus my brother Chad who is on a mission in Tennessee.

An unidentified woman walks past anti-Bush graffiti in Johannesburg, South Africa, Monday. Africans see President Bush's visit to Africa as a key part of a strategy to combat rising anti-American sentiment on the continent, and the image of Washington as an international bully, analysts say.
Themba Hadebe/AP
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Africa sees President Bush's visit this week as a key part of a strategy to combat rising anti-American sentiment and the image of Washington as an international bully.
The trip, the president's first to Africa, comes while he is considering sending American peacekeeping forces to Liberia, pressing for restoration of democracy in Zimbabwe and promising a new $15 billion package to fight AIDS.
''Where else can they demonstrate Bush is more than just a cowboy than to come to the continent most in need of assistance,'' said Jakkie Cilliers, of the Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria.
The focus on Africa is viewed here as a welcome change.
Bush's father went to Somalia as president in December 1992. But the United States shied away from the continent after its efforts to feed victims of famine in Somalia turned to fighting warlords and as Rwanda was devastated by a genocide, both in the 1990s.
The fallout from the Iraq war and the need to keep African states in the anti-terror campaign has changed U.S. attitudes toward the continent, said John Stremlau, head of the University of the Witwatersrand's department of international relations.
Bush's decision to attack Iraq was roundly criticized in Africa, partly because of large Muslim populations in some countries, but also because America was seen as thumbing its nose at the United Nations. In the poor, weak countries of Africa, the United Nations is seen as the only stage for the continent to exert international influence.
To cut down on growing anti-American sentiment around the world, Washington decided it had to restart the Mideast peace process and demonstrate it was sensitive to development issues, including HIV-AIDS, poverty and trade, Cilliers said.
''The U.S. decided, 'Our credibility depends on demonstrating the U.S. is not the international bully,''' he said.
Africa benefits from the renewed U.S. interest, which is also fueling a competition for influence on the continent with the French and British.
Analysts say Bush's African strategy revolves around building stability in key states. His stops include South Africa, which is seen as the key to continental peace and security; Nigeria, the top player in West Africa; and Senegal, West Africa's oldest democracy.
While supporting nations that are doing well, the administration also is going on the offensive against what it views as rogue African leaders, such as Presidents Charles Taylor in Liberia and Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe.
Bush is demanding Taylor step down to bring peace to the country founded by freed American slaves. He also demands Mugabe restore democracy in Zimbabwe, where 200 people have been killed in state-orchestrated political violence and many more have been beaten, tortured, raped and jailed for their beliefs.
Before his visit, Bush upset some here by cutting military aid to countries, including South Africa, that do not support the U.S. position on the proposed international criminal court. His trip also comes at the same time as, and takes some of the attention away from, an annual meeting of African leaders - the African Union summit in Mozambique.
Bush will have a tough time persuading African leaders to exert more pressure on Mugabe to restore democracy in Zimbabwe.
''I don't think President Bush will get much joy from African leaders. There will be the usual niceties but it will be so much hot air,'' said John Makumbe, a political scientist at Zimbabwe University in Harare.
Bush has imposed limited sanctions on Zimbabwe's leaders, refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of Mugabe's re-election, and is seeking more, concerted international pressure, especially from Africa.
Mbeki says he will not pressure Mugabe and instead favors what he calls ''quiet diplomacy.''

I would wait another 30 days then contact the creditor and ask them if they reported it as paid in full. If they did and the data is still not updated then get a copy of your real credit report from one of the big three bureaus and see if it is still on that one. You can file a dispute but withough evidence that it is paid a dispute will merely confirm that it is your debt. You may have to file a written dispute and include the evidence you have that the account is paid.
The best avenue is contacting the creditor direct.
