When people asked Dorothy Beckett the recipe for her long life, she answered: sports, sherry and dark chocolate.
Recent studies about the health value of dark chocolate notwithstanding, it's the sports that shaped Beckett's life. As a young woman in England, she made headlines as a tennis star, competing in Wimbledon several times in the early 1930s. And in her second half of life in Palo Alto, she was an avid hiker and longtime member of the Palo Alto Lawn Bowls Club.
Beckett, born Dorothy Crichton, died Sept. 6 of complications from surgery at Stanford Hospital after a fall in her home at Sunrise Assisted Living of Palo Alto. She was 104.
Born and raised in England, Beckett was an athlete from an early age, said her niece, Pat Morcott. She made newspaper headlines in Essex for her tennis exploits, and in winter she played field hockey and badminton.
In 1932 and 1933, she advanced to the second round at Wimbledon, and she lost in the first round in 1934, according to the Web site TennisForum.com. When not competing in athletics, she worked as a bookkeeper, and she drove an ambulance in World War II, Morcott said.
At age 50, she followed her well-traveled brother across the sea to Palo Alto, where she traded tennis for hiking, Morcott said. She met outdoorsman Richard Beckett, a postal worker, at a Sierra Club outing, and they married in 1968 and moved into his family's home on Ramona Street.
"She's been up just about every mountain in the state," Morcott said. "She was a real hiker and camper. That was what they liked to do."
She outlived her husband by 21 years, Morcott said, living in the same house until two years ago, when she moved to Sunrise. Through the decades she attended All Saints' Episcopal Church on Waverley Street.
In her last years, with her faculties failing, she refused a wheelchair, preferring a walker, Morcott said.
"She was a tough one. She was very close to blind and very deaf," Morcott said. "The last few years were, I'm sure, a trial to her, but she didn't complain."
Beckett is survived by Morcott and two great-nieces and a great-nephew, among others. Services will be Oct. 11 at All Saints' Episcopal Church, 555 Waverley St., Palo Alto.

After being embarrassed by the worst team in the league in a loss to the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Clippers held a players-only meeting to straighten things out heading into a game against the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves.
Time to meet again, guys.
Two nights after losing to the worst team in the East, the Clippers lost to the team with the Western Conference's worst record, falling 111-97 to the Timberwolves on Friday night.
Al Jefferson scored 12 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter, and the Timberwolves led by as many as 23 points in their 10th victory this season. Jefferson also had 16 rebounds and Ryan Hollins tied a career-high with 19 points for Minnesota.
"We just talked about salvaging the rest of this season and this thing's not over for us and to put Wednesday's loss behind us," Marcus Camby said of the meeting. "Hopefully we could come out and respond the right way, but we didn't."
Baron Davis scored 23 of his 28 points in a brilliant third quarter, but the Clippers already had dug themselves too big a hole. They now have lost back-to-back games to the Nets and Wolves, teams that have combined for 14 wins.
For a team that had designs on scratching its way back into the playoff picture, losses like these are inexcusable.
"We hope they don't catch up to us at the end of the year," said Camby, who had 10 points and 19 rebounds. "But it seems to look that way as of right now."
It didn't help that the Clippers were playing without center Chris Kaman, a wide body with scoring ability that gave the smaller Wolves frontcourt fits in the past. The team's leading scorer and second-leading rebounder missed the game with a sprained left ankle.
"We let two games get away that we should have won, had we played with the effort, had we played with the freedom and the mentality that we need to play with in order to be successful," Davis said. "It only gets tougher from this point."
The Timberwolves were coming off a brutal road trip and playing some of the worst basketball of this awful first season under new president David Kahn and coach Kurt Rambis.
The trip started in Milwaukee with a 33-point loss to the Bucks. They were blown out by the Knicks on Tuesday, trailing 15-0 at the start of the game to a team that lost by 50 the previous game. Then LeBron James and the Cavaliers toyed with them in Cleveland on Wednesday.
Searching for a spark for a team that had lost 14 of its previous 16 games, Rambis shuffled the starting lineup with the aim at making his first and second units more balanced. Damien Wilkins went to the bench and Hollins started at center.
For one night, it worked.
The Timberwolves got off to one of their best starts of the season, leading 19-5 in the first seven minutes. The Timberwolves shot 61 percent in the first half and led by as many as 23 points in the second quarter.
The Clippers starters missed 18 of their first 22 shots. Davis was 1 for 7 with two turnovers in the first half.
"We had to get it back together," said Wolves point guard Jonny Flynn, who had 19 points and eight assists. "Coming off their loss to New Jersey, you knew they didn't want to lose to us, too."
Corey Brewer, who scored 20 points, hit a 3-pointer that gave the Timberwolves a 66-43 lead early in the third quarter before Davis went on a tear. He scored 21 of the Clippers' next 30 points to get Los Angeles back in the game.
He tried to inspire his teammates on several occasions, including after a steal and a crazy flip over his head with Wilkins draped all over him. He finished the three-point play, then scored on a driving layup at the third period buzzer to make the score 82-73 headed to the fourth.
The Clippers cut the lead to 97-92 on Al Thornton's 15-footer with 4:55 to play, but they could never come up with a timely defensive stop against a Timberwolves team that shot 52 percent in the game.
"Baron Davis showed that he's still one of the elite players, but I liked that they hung in there when things weren't going their way, they kept their heads up, they kept playing and finding ways to get stops, finding ways to score," Rambis said. "They kept fighting, fighting, fighting and eventually got themselves a win."
NOTES: Kaman is listed as day-to-day. Brian Skinner started in his place, but played just 5 minutes. ... The Timberwolves held a moment of silence prior to the game for Glenda Taylor-Huston, owner Glen Taylor's first wife, who died on Tuesday while vacationing in Egypt.

Sometimes Cherry will be looking out the window or something and just start making this terribly sad sound like "Coooooo" or mewing / crying noise in a few second intervals. It'll go on for a minute or two and then she's back to normal. I wish I could record a video of it but I don't have anything that can.
Anyway does anyone know what this noise means? Is she just alarmed at something she saw outside? Or sad / in pain? Perhaps bored or lonely?
Thanks in advance!

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Kobe Bryant took charge with 31 points Friday in helping the Los Angeles Lakers give Coach Mike D'Antoni a win in his debut, 114-102 over Phoenix.
D'Antoni replaced Mike Brown, who was fired less than a month into the season. The Lakers won for the fourth time in nine games, displaying an up-tempo pace in which four players produced more than three-fourths of the team's points.
Bryant made only 10-of-24 from the field, but was 10-of-11 from the foul line. Metta World Peace added 22 for the Lakers, Dwight Howard had 18 and Pau Gasol had 16 to go with 10 rebounds.
Los Angeles closed the third period on a 10-2 run after the game had been tied with 2:30 left in the quarter. The lead grew to 15 during the first 2:30 of the final period.
Goran Dragic scored 22 for the Suns, who suffered their second straight loss.

Alex Ferguson: Great games
Sir Alex Ferguson has plenty of memorable matches as Manchester United manager. We pick out the best of them.
Man Utd 2 Barcelona 1, May 1991
Following the end of a five-year ban on English clubs for hooliganism, United made the most of their return to European football to claim the Cup Winners' Cup by beating mighty Barca in a Rotterdam decider. The Red Devils went into the game as underdogs but Mark Hughes, who had been discarded by the Catalan giants after an unsuccessful spell at the Nou Camp, stunned his former club with a second-half brace and United hung on for victory despite Ronald Koeman's late free-kick.
Man Utd 2 Sheff Wed 1, April 1993
After finishing second best behind Leeds the previous year, United were battling it out for top spot with Aston Villa towards the end of the inaugural Premier League campaign and trailed the Owls with time running out. However, Steve Bruce headed in an equaliser with four minutes left on the clock and then nodded in a dramatic winner six minutes into stoppage time to spark an ecstatic on-pitch celebration from Brian Kidd and give the Red Devils the impetus to end a 26-year wait for title joy.
Man Utd 4 Chelsea 0, May 1994
Having retained the Premier League crown by an impressive eight points, United became only the fourth team of the 20th century to do the Double when crushing the Blues in the FA Cup final. The scores were still level on the hour but then Eric Cantona hit home a couple of penalties and Hughes also netted in a devastating 20-minute spell to put Ferguson's side in total control before Brian McClair completed the rout late on.
Man Utd 2 Arsenal 1, April 1999
One of the all-time great FA Cup matches took place at Villa Park and ended with United booking a place in the final after extra-time thanks to a brilliant solo effort from Ryan Giggs. David Beckham had put the Red Devils ahead with a long-range strike, but Dennis Bergkamp equalised for the Gunners and they looked to hold the upper hand when Roy Keane was sent off. However, Peter Schmeichel saved a last-minute spot-kick from Bergkamp and then Giggs intercepted a Patrick Vieira pass before racing 50 metres and past three defenders to net the winner in extra-time.
Juventus 2 Man Utd 3, April 1999
United went into the second leg of this Champions League semi-final all square at 1-1 and looked set to suffer Turin heartbreak when trailing 2-0 early on through a Pippo Inzaghi brace. However, Keane proved a captain marvel for the Red Devils to inspire a famous comeback, heading in from a corner to give his side hope and then inspiring Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole to book a place in the final of Europe's elite club competition for the first time since 1968.
Man Utd 2 Bayern Munich 1, May 1999
Sadly Keane and Paul Scholes had to sit out this Champions League decider through suspension and their presence in the heart of midfield was sorely missed as United fell behind to a Mario Basler free-kick. Bayern dominated for long periods and should have added to their lead several times, notably when Mehmet Scholl hit the crossbar. However, United drew on their never-say-die attitude to stay in contention before an amazing last two minutes saw goals from Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turn the tie on its head and spark wild celebrations from the huge English contingent at the Nou Camp.
Man Utd 6 Arsenal 1, February 2001
The Gunners were runners-up behind United for three straight seasons and would win the title in two of the next three campaigns, but on this occasion the Red Devils were simply a cut above their big rivals of that era. Thierry Henry had equalised an early Yorke goal after 14 minutes but then the Trinidad & Tobago striker completed his hat-trick soon after, while Keane and Solskjaer helped put the hosts 5-1 up at the break. Despite cruising through the second period, Sheringham made it six late on to put United 16 points clear at the top of the table and on course for a title hat-trick.
Man Utd 1 Chelsea 1 May 2008
United gave Ferguson a second Champions League trophy by beating the Blues 6-5 on penalties on a rain-soaked Moscow night. Cristiano Ronaldo had headed the Red Devils in front but Frank Lampard's equaliser just before the interval proved enough to send the game into extra-time. Chelsea had Didier Drogba sent off following a mass fracas but still had a chance to prevail after Ronaldo missed his spot-kick. However, John Terry hit the post with his penalty and when Edwin van der Sar saved from Nicolas Anelka in a sudden death shoot-out the Red Devils celebrated an emotional success.

WEST PLAINS, Mo. – Members of the Missouri State University Board of Governors today, June 20, approved several changes to the academic offerings available at Missouri State-West Plains.
During their meeting in Kansas City, Mo., members passed resolutions adding the Associate of Science in Agriculture degree and certificates in Health Information Technology, Agricultural Business, Animal Science, Basic Bookkeeping, Basic Office Management, Equine Studies, General Agriculture, Natural Resources, Plant Science, Wildlife Management, and Wine Business and Entrepreneurship.
In addition, they approved resolutions to add Agricultural Business, Culinary Arts and General Business as new emphasis areas for the Associate of Applied Science in Entrepreneurship degree; to remove Web Development as an emphasis area for the Associate of Applied Science in Computer Graphics and Programming degree; to rename the Certificate of Entrepreneurship to the Certificate of Applied Entrepreneurship; and to remove the Associate of Applied Science in Computer Technology degree from the list of academic offerings.
The resolutions were approved as part of the board's consent agenda and will now be submitted to the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE) this fall for approval, university officials said.
"In today's quickly changing world of business, industry and technology, Missouri State-West Plains must align its academic offerings with those changes and, as far as possible, anticipate what our students will need when they soon enter or re-enter the workforce in our region and beyond," said Dennis Lancaster, interim dean of academic affairs. "These additional certificates and degrees are a result of our faculty's latest efforts to meet those demands, as well as to provide a foundation for those students who want to continue their college education toward a bachelor's degree or graduate degree."
The AS in Agriculture is designed for students who wish to pursue a bachelor's degree in the discipline at Missouri State in Springfield or any other four-year institution following graduation, according to Cathy Proffitt-Boys, assistant professor of agriculture and entrepreneurship. She pointed out agriculture has long been an important part of the economy and community in Missouri State-West Plains' service area. The degree will help prepare students for new agricultural initiatives, including new agricultural cooperatives and value added product development that are creating new opportunities and the need for additional education in this field.
The new agriculture and business-based certificates are designed to meet the specific educational needs and interests of area residents based on their current employment status or future employment desires. All will dovetail into specific associate degrees offered at Missouri State-West Plains, and several are designed to meet requirements of specific bachelor's degrees at Missouri State in Springfield, Boys said.
The Certificate in Health Information Technology is part of the university's push to expand its allied health offerings, according to Amy Ackerson, division chair of nursing and allied health. Society's transition to an information-based economy has impacted health care in dramatic ways, she said. "Developments such as the electronic health record (EHR) as a repository for digital health information and the enhanced ability of providers, payers and patients to share the information has provided a positive impact on our nation's healthcare system," she said.
"Medical billing and coding professionals are an important link between healthcare providers and insurance companies. These professionals are responsible for ensuring that physicians receive the correct reimbursements from insurance companies. Working with organizations such as Medicare and Medicaid, medical billing and coding professionals are essential to many healthcare establishments," she added.
"As more baby boomers reach retirement and the elderly population continues to grow, a larger number of people will need frequent medical care. This includes supportive functions from medical billing and coding professionals who can pursue opportunities at hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, public health facilities and insurance agencies. Furthermore, healthcare organizations in our local service area have expressed demand for professionals with these competencies on a continuum. The study of healthcare information technology has become central to all that a practitioner does and a healthcare management instructor teaches."
Those who complete the certificate will be able to seamlessly integrate into Missouri State-West Plains' new Associate of Applied Science in Health Information Technology degree, which is still in the development stage, she said. After completing the degree, students could potentially transfer into established bachelor's degrees in information technology at selected four-year institutions, she added.
The Certificate in Wine Business and Entrepreneurship is designed to support the existing AAS degrees in Viticulture and Enology offered by Missouri State-West Plains as part of its participation in the Viticulture Enology Science and Technology Alliance (VESTA). The business courses offered as part of the certificate are specifically designed to help winery and vineyard entrepreneurs by focusing on business-related aspects of that industry, Boys explained.
Boys said the addition of emphasis areas for the AAS in Entrepreneurship degree will better serve students and the community by preparing them for careers with many local opportunities. The removal of Web Development as an emphasis area for the AAS in Computer Graphics and Programming degree is the result of low enrollment, she explained, adding the change will better support student needs and interests. The title change for the Certificate of Entrepreneurship to the Certificate of Applied Entrepreneurship better describes the program and differentiates it from other certificate and degree programs in this discipline, she said. The deletion of the AAS in Computer Technology is due to low enrollment. Its removal will allow resources to be directed to programs with more student demand, she explained.
Now that resolutions for these academic program changes have been approved by the board, Lancaster said university officials hope to forward the proposals to CBHE in time for action at the group's September meeting. If approved by CBHE, Missouri State-West Plains will then be authorized to offer 15 associate degrees and 19 certificate options.
For more information about these degrees and certificate options, visit the Missouri State-West Plains website, www.wp.missouristate.edu,

The letters stacked in each column are meaningless...until you move them into the boxes directly above. Place them correctly and you'll reveal a message. If you place them incorrectly, congratulations! You've just wasted a whole bunch of time replacing gibberish with more gibberish.
Let's start with one you could figure out in your sleep. Click and drag a letter from a column below the blue line to an open space above it. Move all letters into place to create a sentence or phrase. When you're done placing letters click the 'Check It!' button. If you simply cannot figure it out, press the 'I Give Up!" button. Easy enough, right?
Choose a level of gameplay. The higher the number, the bigger the puzzle!

Blanco County, Texas Game Warden John Martin knows that the opening day of deer hunting season is always a disaster, but this time the hunters come up with a new one. Apparently a six-foot blonde Amazon has wrecked the deer blinds of the locals using an assortment of tricks and devices. This female ghost even shot up Rodney Bauer's pick-up using the 12-gauge that she easily took from the paralyzed man in shock by her beauty.
As John works on his relationship with Nurse Becky, environmentalist Inga Mueller has become an avenging angel. She is dedicated to protecting endangered species from the ravages of the hunters. However, though her victims drive John crazy, he considers her a minor amusing nuisance especially when compared to the rash of corpses that suddenly surface.

The Rocket Man has been temporarily grounded.
Elton John developed a serious respiratory infection last weekend, but his condition only worsened, resulting in the 65-year-old singer's hospitalization on Wednesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
After several extensive tests, the music icon's doctors recommended that John not perform for approximately seven days and simply rest and undergo antibiotic treatment.
As a result, John has had to cancel three performances scheduled for Thursday, Saturday and Sunday in Las Vegas.
"It feels strange not to be able to perform these 'Million Dollar Piano' concerts at The Colosseum,' John said in a statement. "I love performing this show and I will be thrilled when we return to The Colosseum in October to complete the eleven concerts soon to be scheduled. All I can say to the fans is sorry I can't be with you. I hope to see you soon at this wonderful theatre at Caesars Palace."
Ticket holders may exchange or refund their tickets.
Here's to a speedy recovery!

It's starting to look like the story of 2011 in New York sports is that our teams simply don't know how to finish.
The Jets were one defensive stop away from the Super Bowl, the Knicks have given away two fourth quarter leads already in the playoffs and even Mariano Rivera blew a save on Tuesday night. None of those collapses quite equals what happened to the Rangers on Wednesday night.
They took a 3-0 lead into the third period against a Capitals team that looked more than ready to hand the game and the momentum in the series over to the home team. But the Rangers got as smug as their crowd and handed back the entire lead in the first 12 minutes of the final period.
With the score 3-0, the crowd was chanting "Can you hear us?" to Caps coach Bruce Boudreau in reference to his comments about the quiet MSG crowd, but there wasn't much to say when the Rangers simply stopped playing in the third period. Nor was there much to scream and yell about when Marian Gaborik handed the puck to Jason Chimera in double overtime to set up the goal that put the Capitals up 3-1 in the series.
Gaborik's play was awful, especially in light of the way he's failed to lead this offense during the entire season, but full blame for the loss can't be put onto his shoulders alone. It must be spread around just about everyone on the roster after the way they choked away a huge lead on their own ice with just 20 minutes to play.
We can't say that everyone shares in the blame because, as always, Henrik Lundqvist played well enough to deserve a better result. The Rangers offense was absent in the final 40-plus minutes but Lundqvist kept making saves to give them chances with a breakaway stop of Alex Ovechkin looming exceedingly large in the first overtime session.
As we learned on Tuesday night in Boston, one man can't beat an entire team. The Rangers are now on the brink of elimination because they got lazy once they were in position to win the game.
That's inexcusable and it doesn't fit at all with a team that made it this far simply because they outworked everybody else this season. Given the way this year has gone it would not be the least bit surprising to see them come up with a series-extending victory on Saturday in D.C.
But after Wednesday night's collapse, it wouldn't be surprising to see them roll over and die, either. Once you do it once, it's hard to convince people you won't pull the same trick again.

Everywhere you turned, Balmain's bold shoulders, sequins, tatters, and sexy silhouettes were there. The French house was responsible for such massive trends as buckled boots, studded sandals, and the crystal-encrusted band jacket.

OSHAWA - A trend in recent Toronto training camps has been goaltenders who arent projected to be No. 1 with the Leafs or Marlies putting on a show to make management think twice.
That is happening in the rookie tournament. Garret Sparks gave up early goals in both his games and then was sharp the rest of the way, while Mark Owuya looks to follow up a 30-minute shutout of Chicago in Tuesdays title match against Ottawa. Owuya, who signed a two-year entry level contract out of the Swedish Elite League (SEL), is slated to go the distance against the Sens at General Motors Centre.
Mark is a professional and Garret was just drafted. However, (both) need play in a game situation such as this to gain proper experience, said Leafs director of player development Jim Hughes.
Owuya is a man of mystery on this side of the Atlantic, but he did lead the SEL with a .927 save percentage with Djurgardens. Hes been trying to distance himself from a one-off appearance years ago on Swedens version of American Idol as rapper Mark From Da Park, assuring hockey is his passion and music a hobby, not vice-versa.
The 6-foot-2 Owuya has benefitted from goalie coach Francois Allaires tutoring, here and in Allaires annual Swedish goaltending clinics where he first came to the Leafs attention.
Owuyas Ugandan-born father met his mother while studying in Russia. The couple moved to Sweden where Owuya was born. He and his brother were almost 10 years old before their mother signed them up to play hockey.

The UNDER St. Marks Series and BrokenArmProductions (BAP) Proudly Present the return of GILLIGAN STUMP! and THA PERFESSER! (sic). Gil and Tha Per is yet another Joseph Langham creation. After taking an extended hiatus to present the comedic romp, Out to Lunch - at FringeNYC with a subsequent run at the HA! Comedy Fest - and the dramedy solo show HAR HAR - winner of FringeNYC Excellence Award for Solo Show - The rantraving GILLIGAN returns with his silent sidekick to wreak their unique brand of havoc on downtown NYC.
GILLIGAN STUMP! and THA PERFESSER! is a difficult show to describe. Basically, GILLIGAN STUMP! plays a mean guitar and belts out aggressively hilarious lyrics - with subjects ranging from cockroach infestations to a strange desire to be Hillary's intern -- while mild-mannered mute THA PERFESSER! accompanies him in a variety of absurdly silent and highly theatrical manners. Is it a rock show? Is it a Circus? Is it Comedy? Is it brilliant theatre? Yep, uh-huh, sure thangy... It's stupid comedy for intelligent people. It's balls out comic rock with a twist of mime.
Here's what the press had to say: "I am now convinced that the end of the world is really upon us" - TimeOut NY "Reaffirms the blurry line between the ingenious and the insane." -- Paper Magazine "Leon Redbone meets Primus meets Kids-in-the-Hall meets Son of Sam." - Austin Chronicle "Exceedingly unusual. Made the audience roar with laughter." - The Austin American Statesman.

Melbourne based photographer
Kris Washusen's photography has earned him industry acclaim as a contemporary image-maker. Our guiding concept for this project was the idea of designing the brand primarily as a blank canvas, a strong simple visual language to frame Kris' creative style. Using minimal typography, a restricted colour palette and a back slash as the major brand asset, this subtractive visual approach was applied to all aspects of the visual collateral.

(Reuters) - The United States will stage a centenary Copa America in 2016 hoping it will lead to more competition between the sport's two continental governing bodies in the Americas, South American ruling body CONMEBOL president Eugenio Figueredo said on Thursday.
CONMEBOL and its northern counterpart CONCACAF, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean, made the official announcement of the tournament at a Miami news conference.
"This is a Copa Centenario we want to play as an extra tournament and it's going to be a resounding success that will make us think about not waiting another 100 years for a more permanent competition between CONCACAF and South America," Uruguayan Figueredo said.
"This is a first, without forgetting that CONCACAF teams have already played in the Copa America," added Figueredo. CONMEBOL began inviting teams from its northern neighbors to the Copa America in the early 1990s, notably Mexico, Costa Rica and the United States. Figueredo also said the Copa Centenario would be part of world governing body FIFA's international calendar while adding that he could not speak for any similar event beyond 2016. The Copa America, the South American championship first played in Argentina in 1916, is the oldest active competition involving national teams since the four-nation British Home Championship was discontinued in the mid-1980s.
"I congratulate CONMEBOL for inspiring players and fans throughout a century of fantastic football, and thank them for extending the legacy of this hugely successful event to CONCACAF territory," CONCACAF president Jeffrey Webb said. "The American continent may have been discovered in 1492, but I can't imagine a better way to unite this continent than with football and an exceptional celebration of talent in 2016. "We are proud to play a leading role in the celebration of the centennial of a tournament born to unite all America. Year after year the Cup has gained prestige, which has allowed the opening of doors to the football of an entire continent. Now, CONCACAF and the United States will play host to the world's oldest national team competition," Figueredo said. The tournament, involving CONMEBOL's 10 nations and six from CONCACAF, including Gold Cup holders the United States and six-times champions Mexico, will be held at venues yet to be designated across the U.S. between June 3 and 26.Uruguay will defend their Copa America title, a record 15th crown won in Argentina in 2011, in the next tournament in Chile in 2015.

Sense & Ineligibility
I have no great intention of turning this into an AFC Wimbledon blog, but something has come to my attention which warrants a follow-up to my match report from the other night. As you may recall, I mentioned that AFCW have had a rather splendid run in the FA Trophy, having beaten Nationwide Conference clubs Aldershot Town and Gravesend & Northfleet, both away from home, to take up a place in the latter stages of the competition. This morning, though an ominous message appeared in the news section of their website. It reads: "We have been asked by the FA for clarification of the status of one of our players in the recent FA Trophy match against Gravesend. We have replied today giving them full answers to their queries and we have offered to give any additional information they may require.". AFC recently signed the defender Paul Lorraine on loan from Conference South club Fisher Athletic for a month, and it appears that they may have made a mess of the registration. Nothing concrete has been said yet, but there's a chance that they could now be expelled from the competition. Under the current rules, if they have broken the rules, they'll be in trouble. Bury fielded an ineligible player in their FA Cup Second Round match against Chester City, and were expelled from the competition (and denied a...Read More

Automotive chip market to grow 13.5% in 2010, says Gartner
Post a comment
LONDON The automotive semiconductor market is expected to decline by 26.5 percent in 2009 to $14.58 billion, after declining nearly 5 percent in 2008 to $19.53 billion, according to a fourth quarter update from market research firm Gartner.
Positive growth of 13.5 percent is expected to return in 2010, when the automotive total available market will reach $16.55 billion. However, it will take until 2012 for the market to exceed the revenue levels of 2008, when it is expected to reach $20.96 billion.
Growth in the automotive semiconductor market is closely linked to growth in light-vehicle production. The global financial crisis led to a significant slowdown in new vehicle sales and a steep decline in vehicle production in the last four months of 2008 and in 1Q09.
Inventory levels corrected somewhat in 1Q09, and overall production improved a little in 2Q09, with 3Q09 showing strong growth for semiconductor vendors, helped by the replenishment of the depleted inventories from the previous months.
In all vehicle production declined by 4.4 percent in 2008, and Gartner expects it to decline by a further 19.6 percent in 2009, reflecting the impact of the economic crisis on the automotive market. This has resulted in an improvement on Gartner's previous forecast of a 22.7 percent decline in vehicle production and 30.1 percent decline in the market for automotive semiconductors.

Suitable for new installations, or upgrades of existing lagoon systems where increased capacity, improved BOD, TSS, Phosphorus, Ammonia and/or Total Nitrogen removal is required. The OPTAER® lagoon based wastewater treatment system can include lagoon aeration, flow control baffles, algae control covers, SAGR®, and tertiary filters as needed to meet a wide range of effluent requirements.
OPTAER® aerated lagoons utilize diffused aeration to provide oxygen and mixing for BOD5 removal, TSS removal, and organic sludge digestion. Whether upgrading existing lagoons or constructing new facilities, high efficiency fine bubble or coarse bubble diffusers, combined with floating or float-sink lateral air delivery systems offer excellent efficiency, long term reliability, ease of operation, and ultimate flexibility.Find out more
Floating HDPE Ball covers are installed on the final settling cell to block sunlight . These covers minimize algae growth, which reduces summer TSS effluent levels. The floating ball cover also provides bird control in ponds toxic to wildlife, or where waterfowl are a nuisance, such as near airports.Find out more
Impermeable flow diversion baffles reduce short-circuiting in individual lagoon cells. Dividing basins into multiple cells maximizes the use of available hydraulic retention time (HRT). Baffles can be used to improve treatment in hydraulically overloaded cells and to partition complete mix zones to improve treatment reaction kinetics.Find out more
Designed to allow for cold water nitrification, the SAGR® removes ammonia through nitrification (conversion of ammonia to nitrates), following either facultative or aerated lagoons. It is ideally suited for post lagoon applications in severe cold or moderate climates where water temperatures can fall below 0.5oC/32.9 oF for extended periods of time but can also be used in warm climate applications.Find out more
Tertiary filters following OPTAER® lagoon systems are used for final suspended solids polishing, to improve water quality prior to disinfection, and to meet low TSS limits. Effluent filters are also used in conjunction with chemical addition to provide total phosphorus (TP) removal and denitrification where total nitrogen removal is required.Find out more

Another good choice for his team & not the obvious choice either.
How will a pair fit into a solo competition. But, sibling voices singing together always sound good.
I just realized that Tori and Taylor Thompson have met Monica before. Back in 2003, Monica was a guest judge on American Juniors. Both of the sisters had already made the group by the time Monica hosted though. I just thought I would point that out.

Pawing his way to the top: Cee Lo Green's cat Purrfect is furry popular after appearing on The Voice

The coaches of The Voice are pulling out all the stops in the hope that they will lead the second seasons winning act.
And Cee Lo Green has an unusual trick up his sleeve to win over the audience.
The 37-year-old singer has started bringing his fluffy white cat Purrfect to work with him, and can be seen stroking the creature who sweetly sits on his lap during filming of the TV talent show.
Winning team?: Cee Lo Green hopes his cat Purrfect can help him win the second season of The Voice
But now the cat, who Cee Lo describes as his secret weapon, has become a star in his own right, drumming up a Twitter following of over 12,000 fans, and over 2,500 likes on Facebook.
Cee Lo's furry friend has posted a series of hilarious comments to his fans, and has even been seen exchanging tweets with his owner's rival coach Adam Levine.
The Maroon 5 singer wrote a message on his Twitter page that popped up on screen during the airing of the show, which said: Arm wrestling Cee Lo wouldn't go well for me. However, I'm pretty sure I could take the cat. It's on @PurrfectTheCat.

Making his mark: Purrfect has become a star in his own right and has drummed up over 12,000 Twitter followers
After his debut appearance on the NBC show, Purrfect posted a message to his Facebook page that said: Camera adds 10 lbs of fur, but I look purrrrfect. Dont you agree?
And following the Grammy Awards over the weekend, the cat wrote: can't wait to rub my cheeks all over CeeLo Green's Grammy. #PawsCrossed
In a video to promote the second season of the show, the Forget You singer stroked the fluffy creature and said: I want to introduce you to a friend of mine, very dear to my heart. His name is Purrfect.

CeeLo Green accused of giving woman drug, but DA declines rape charge - CNN.com
Los Angeles (CNN) -- CeeLo Green, a singer who is a coach on the television singing competition "The Voice," has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of giving the drug Ecstasy to a woman who also accused him of sexually assaulting her last year, according to prosecutors.
But the 38-year-old Atlanta singer, who rose to worldwide fame with the hit songs "Forget You" and "Crazy," will not face sexual assault charges after prosecutors concluded there wasn't enough evidence to take that accusation to court, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said in a statement released Monday.
Green, whose real name is Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, appeared in court Monday to be arraigned on the sole charge of furnishing a controlled substance. The charge carries a potential sentence of up to four years in prison.
After Green pleaded not guilty, the judge accepted prosecutors' recommendation to set his bond at $30,000 and ordered him to return to court on November 20.
CeeLo accused of slipping woman ecstasy
"Are you relieved?" a reporter asked him before his arraignment. The singer-songwriter nodded yes.
"Are you scared?" the reporter asked. "No," Green replied.
According to prosecutors, Green slipped the drug to a 33-year-old woman while they were having dinner on July 13 or July 14, 2012. They later went back to her hotel, prosecutors said.
The woman accused Green of sexually assaulting her at the Luxe Hotel after their dinner together, CNN affiliate KTLA reported, citing a Los Angeles Police Department statement.
The Los Angeles Times reported the woman said she woke up naked in bed with Green in her room.
But in their statement Monday, prosecutors said they had declined to file a charge of rape of an intoxicated person, citing insufficient evidence.
Green "will responsibly address" the drug charge in court and is pleased prosecutors decided not to proceed with the sex assault charge, his attorney, Blair Berk, said in a statement issued Monday.
"Mr. Green encouraged a full and complete investigation of those claims, and he was confident once conducted, he would be cleared of having any wrongful intent and it would be established that any relations were consensual," Berk said. "CeeLo had faith that if the true facts were known, the district attorney would reject those charges."
She said the decision by prosecutors showed that "the evidence did not support the false and unfounded claims made over a year ago."
NBC declined to comment on Green's future with the show, a singing competition that involves teams of aspiring artists mentored by one of four coaches, one of whom is Green. It is currently airing taped episodes, the latest of which aired Monday night.
The show, now in its fifth season, has been among NBC's most popular programs. Aside from football programming, the show was NBC's best-rated show in 2012, according to Nielsen. It ranked No. 6, with more than 14 million viewers for its October 3 episode, the ratings company said.
Green began his music career as a member of the Southern hip-hop group Goodie Mob. He later became part of the duo Gnarls Barkley, whose 2006 song "Crazy" became a worldwide hit. Four years later, he recorded "Forget You," which achieved similar success.
His work has netted him five Grammys and numerous other awards.
CNN's Alan Duke reported and wrote from Los Angeles, Michael Pearson wrote from Atlanta; CNN's Lindsey Knight and Denise Quan also contributed to this report.
It's going to be hard to see him in the coach's chair (particularly when live rounds come around) knowing this is hanging over his head.

The Museum of the Landing in Sicily.
The Exhibition Centre – Le Ciminiere is located very close to Catania railway station and hosts "The Museum of the Landing in Sicily", which shows a dramatic period in the history of Italy.
It was in 1943 that the Allied forces landed in Sicily, in the area between Gela and Licata (US Forces), Catania and Siracusa (British Army) , to liberate our country from German occupation. In the 3000 square meters dedicated to the museum, the highlights of the landing are traced through historical videos and displays of authentic pictures. Children may mistake the wax figures for real people!
Film lovers will be impressed by the special effects of sound and motion that simulate a bombing raid from within a bunker! The Museum, created by Catania's Regional Province Institution, helps to keep alive our most recent history which saw our parents and grandparents, Italian / non Italian, fight a common enemy: Fascist and Nazis.
The Museum of the landing in Sicily

This text presents the biochemistry of mammalian cells, as well as some prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, relates biochemical events at the cellular level to the physiological processes occurring in the whole animal, and cites examples of abnormal biochemical processes in human disease. Topics have been selected to cover essential areas of biochemistry and physiological chemistry for advanced undergraduate, graduate, and especially professional school courses in biochemistry. Sections cover the structure of macromolecules, transmission of information, functions of proteins, metabolic pathways and their control, and physiological processes. The text is enhanced by case examples, boxes on clinical correlations, and quizzes. Many new figures have been added to this edition. Devlin is professor emeritus of biochemistry at the School of Medicine of MCP-Hahnemann University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
This massive volume is a multiauthored textbook of biochemistry for medical students and other healthcare professionals. It is intended to be a teaching tool, rather than a reference book. It includes ""clinical correlations,"" which are not case reports. They, for the most part, are presented in general terms as opposed to situations observed in individual patients with specific blood analyte levels, clinical symptoms, and signs and prognosis/outcomes. It is my opinion that the latter approaches are more valuable (e.g., as done by the Montgomery text). Nevertheless, this volume is a significant contribution to the field and joins a number of similar, well-illustrated, massive texts on the market. The primary audience is medical students. One wonders, however, if the typical medical student would be capable of assimilating even a fraction of the material presented. On the other hand, there is not enough depth to be of much use for the graduate student. For example, the topic of enzymology, especially enzyme kinetics, although sufficient for the medical student, is inadequate for the graduate student. Each contributor has impeccable credentials. In this fourth edition, the authors have the opportunity to work out the ""bugs"" and optimize their chapters. The book is superbly illustrated, almost excessively so, with multiple colors serving useful pedagogic purposes. The bibliography is extensive, and for medical students, unnecessarily so. Tables of contents and indexes are excellent and useful. There are multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter, with answers and explanations provided. There is an organic chemistry review section in the appendix. I was impressedwith the extensive sections on human nutrition, which are so useful for medical students. I do not agree with the relegation of carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, and purine/pyrimidine chemistries to the organic chemistry appendix. The typical organic chemistry course in college is hardly sufficient to understand these most important biochemical topics. The book creates a good impression, even though it might be overwhelming for the typical medical student. It should be on every library shelf.

The Jeremy Lin phase is over; now the Knicks just need someone to distribute the ball
In all likelihood, the Jeremy Lin portion of the tumultuous story that has been the New York Knicks this season has come to an end.
The team announced Saturday that Lin has a meniscus tear in his knee. Surgery is to be performed this week, with a recovery time of about six weeks. The N.B.A. regular season ends April 26; that recovery time will take Lin out until roughly the second round of the playoffs, a destination New York will be hard-pressed to reach without him.
Story Continued Below
It was no accident that the Knicks were 8-15 when Linsanity was born on Feb. 3 against the Nets. Sure, Carmelo Anthony had been struggling, and Amar'e Stoudemire was still feeling the effects of an inactive offseason due to his back injury. But the Knicks were really suffering without a point guard, a problem Lin came in and solved immediately.
Now 27-26, the Knicks are in an oddly similar place, roster-wise, to where they were when Lin made his debut. Anthony is playing better this week, but is still battling an injured groin. Stoudemire is out for the next several weeks with a bulging disc in his back. And Baron Davis, the point guard the Knicks originally thought they'd rely on, is fighting a hamstring injury while he continues to recover from a back injury that kept him out for nearly a year.
The Knicks' playoff hopes would seem to rest, above all, on the status of Davis, who is easily the best remaining option for the team at point guard. It is not overstating things to say that the offense tends to come to a near-standstill when he is out of the game.
But leaving Davis in the game for too long creates its own problems: Coach Mike Woodson risks wearing him down, limiting his effectiveness when he plays, or knocking him out of action altogether with a complication of one of his injuries.
Without Davis, the Knicks have 48 minutes to fill at point guard, and no good options for doing it. Mike Bibby, who has been getting some time at the position, lacks the quickness to defend opposing guards and has struggled to distribute the ball, and his shooting has been awful, under 27 percent on the season.
Toney Douglas, who has played sparingly since Lin's emergence, got 10 minutes of time in Saturday night's 91-75 victory over Cleveland. The result was roughly the same as when he was receiving regular minutes as the team's point guard: five shots in 10 minutes, just one assist, one turnover. Distirbuting the ball isn't Douglas' game.
And Iman Shumpert, the talented rookie, has shown he belongs at shooting guard. He'd probably be starting there over Landry Fields, if the Knicks weren't so short-handed at power forward that Anthony weren't filling that role, leaving Shumpert out of position as well at small forward.
Realistically, the Knicks should be exploring the addition of another point guard in lieu of Bibby, with names like Mike James and Anthony Carter getting mentioned this weekend in after Lin's injury. These aren't saviors; they are simply ways for the Knicks to manage the roughly 20-25 minutes Davis shouldn't be playing, or to make it somewhat less catastrophic for their season if he gets hurt.
It would be funny to think that losing Lin may prevent the Knicks from fulfilling preseason expectations that didn't take him into account at all, if it weren't so sad.
