MILWAUKEE — Adrian Gonzalez last night became the first Padre to ever have six hits in a nine-inning game.
And Chase Headley, jokingly, wanted everyone to know who made it possible.
"If it wasn't for me and everyone else, Gonzo doesn't go 6-for-6," declared Headley after the Padres scorched the Brewers at Miller Park — getting season highs of 13 runs and 22 hits.
"It's true," Gonzalez said after the Padres' 13-6 victory. "It's more of a tribute to the rest of the team that I was able to do it. I can't get up six times in a game by myself."
Gonzalez — whose previous best was four hits in a game, which he has done 12 times — wasn't the first Padre to have six hits in a game.
It had happened three times before, the latest by Tony Gwynn Sr. in 1993. But each of the earlier six-hit games had come in extra innings.
"I don't know if I've ever seen someone have six hits in nine innings before," said Headley, who had three himself and drove a shot past the head of Brewers third baseman Casey McGehee that was scored a two-run error.
"Everything was working for me," said Gonzalez, who had five singles and a double for three RBI and saw his average rise from .251 to .262. "I was able to stay consistent every at-bat.
"I've been working on trying to stay more consistent."
Gonzalez singled in the first, doubled in the third, singled and scored in the fifth, hit a two-run single in the sixth, had a run-scoring single in the seven and closed with a single to right in the ninth.
Plus, one of the hits was crucial.
The Padres were holding a 4-2 lead when he delivered with one out in the sixth against left-handed reliever Mitch Stetter to make it 6-2.
"If the left-hander gets Gonzo out there, well, a 4-2 lead isn't much in this ballpark," said Padres manager Bud Black.
But the Padres tacked on three more runs in the sixth to make it 9-2 and scored three more in the seventh and one in the eighth to run starter Clayton Richard's record as a Padre to 2-0 in three starts.
Richard allowed only two runs on five hits and one walk over the first 5⅔ innings.
"I thought his fastball had a touch more velocity and life tonight," said Black of the left-handed Richard. "And he threw a couple great change-ups on (full counts) to get outs. He doesn't scare off.
"Once he develops a breaking ball to go with that fastball and change, we'll have a good pitcher on our hands."
However, the focus in this game was offense . . . as it has been for more than two weeks.
Over the Padres' past 14 games, of which they have won 10, the team has hit .302 and averaged 5.1 runs per game. Nine of those wins have come in games in which they had 10 or more hits.
And yesterday's 13-run, 22-hit attack topped the previous season highs of 11 runs on 17 hits against the same Milwaukee Brewers and starter Braden Looper on July 31. The Padres are batting .378 in four games (3-1) against the Brewers.
But Gonzalez wasn't the only Padre swinging a hot bat:
•Will Venable was 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBI, making him 17-for-43 with six homers and 17 RBI and 10 runs scored over his past 10 games.
•Headley was 3-for-6 and is 19-for-45 since July 30 to raise his average from .232 to .255.
•And Kevin Kouzmanoff went 3-for-4 with a double.
The first Padre to get six hits in a game was Gene Richards, who went 6-for-7 in a 15-inning game against Montreal in 1977. Joe Lefebvre went 6-for-8 in a 16-inning game in Los Angeles in 1982. And Gwynn was 6-for-7 in a 12-inning game against the Giants in 1993.

Refusenik Omri Evron: "Why I can't become a soldier in the IDF"
A young Israeli human rights activist refuses to join the IDF "on moral grounds". Amir Tibon writes:
Omri Evron, a 19-year-old from Tel-Aviv, is weeks away from earning his B.A. in ethical philosophy from the Tel-Aviv University (TAU). He started studying for this degree when he was still a high-school student.
Omri is known around the campus of TAU as a leading social activist. Last month, for example, he started a petition of university and high-school students from around the country, protesting the exploitation of maintenance and cleaning workers in educational institutions.
At least once a week, Omri visits the Palestinian village of Bili'in, showing his support for the local Palestinian farmers who are campaigning against the Israeli separation wall that separates them from about 50 percent of their lands. In Bili'in, just like in Tel-Aviv, Omri has earned the reputation of a respected human rights activist.

British MP George Galloway Interviews Israeli Historian Ilan Pappe
In his new book "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine", Ilan Pappe investigates the fate suffered by the indigenous population of 1940s Palestine at the hands of the Zionist political and military leadership.
With meticulous research, and drawing heavily on recently declassified military archives and cabinet meeting minutes, as well as the diaries and memoirs of the key players, Pappe methodically reconstructs the strategic planning and military operations during the British Mandate and the run-up to independence. He goes on to offer a detailed account of the events of 1947-8 as they unfolded, which eventually led to one of the biggest refugee migrations in modern history.

Lieberman out of the shadows: Israel's Minister of Strategic Threats
Jonathan Cook
The furore that briefly flared this week at the decision of Israel's Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, to invite Avigdor Lieberman and his Yisrael Beiteinu party into the government coalition is revealing, but not in the way most observers assume.
Lieberman, a Russian immigrant, is every bit the populist and racist politician he is portrayed as being. Like many of his fellow politicians, he harbours a strong desire to see the Palestinians of the occupied territories expelled, ideally to neighbouring Arab states or Europe. Lieberman, however, is more outspoken than most in publicly advocating for this position.
Where he is seen as overstepping the mark is in arguing that the state should strip up to a quarter of a million Palestinians living inside Israel of their citizenship and seal them and their homes into the Palestinian ghettoes being created inside the West Bank (presumably in preparation for the moment when they will all be expelled to Jordan). He believes any remaining Arab citizens should be required to sign a loyalty oath to Israel as a "Jewish and democratic state" — loyalty to a democratic state alone will not suffice. Any who refuse will be physically expelled from Israel.
And, as a coup de grace, he has recently demanded the execution for treason of any Arab parliamentarian who talks to the Palestinian leadership in the occupied territories or commemorates Nakba Day, which marks the expulsion and permanent dispossession of the Palestinian people in 1948. That would include every elected representative of Israel's Arab population.
These are Lieberman's official positions. Apparently unofficially he wants even worse measures taken against Palestinians, both inside Israel and in the occupied territories. In May 2004, for example, he told a crowd of his supporters, in Russian, that 90 per cent of the country's Arab citizens should be expelled. "They have no place here. They can take their bundles and get lost." His speech could have had second billing with one by Adolf Hitler at a Nuremberg Rally.

From JANIE SHEPPARD
Mendocino County
Tonight there will be a meeting to discuss raising the Coyote Dam. As you have likely noticed, the raised water level has already led to some recreational facilities being under water. As of Tuesday evening these recreational facilities remained under water. Raising the dam will put more recreation facilities under water and so far there is no consideration being given to the users of these facilties. The planners need to hear from us, the land-based users.
A major constraint in relocating land-based recreation is the present boundaries. There simply is not enough room for more water and all the recreation that we have there now, should the dam be raised and the boundaries not extended.
If recreational users (mountain bike riders, hikers, campers, horse people, picnickers, wild flower enthusiasts, and other land-based recreation'ers) are to have a voice and have their concerns addressed, now is the time.
Please come to the meeting tonight: 6 pm, Ukiah Valley Conference Center, 200 S. School Street, Ukiah.
I know this is short notice, but it's all the notice I had as well. See the UDJ story below.
Water agencies to discuss possible dam raising
Army Corps of Engineers to give update on feasibility study for increasing lake storage
How and when the storage capacity of Lake Mendocino may be increased will be the topic of a meeting tonight hosted by the Mendocino Inland Water and Power Commission (IWPC).
"I called an all boards meeting' so we can get an update from the (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) regarding the feasibility study for the Coyote Valley Dam," said Janet Pauli, chairwoman of the IWPC, adding that the commission is the local sponsor for the study, which is exploring options for increasing the storage capacity of the reservoir, including raising the dam.
Pauli said the study will determine not only if it is economically viable to raise the dam, but if it can physically be raised due to "seismic issues.
"There are issues at the dam regarding adequacy of the spillway," she continued. "Increasing storage of the lake was authorized by (the U.S.) Congress back in the 1950s, but things have changed since the 1950s (and) studies do have to be done."
The commission is a joint powers authority whose member agencies include the County of Mendocino, the City of Ukiah, The Russian River Flood Control and Water Improvement District (RRFC&WID), the Redwood Valley County Water District and the Potter Valley Irrigation District.
The member agencies provide half of the funding for the feasibility study, while the USACOE provides the other half, Pauli said.
The board of the RRFC&WID voted last month
to draft a resolution requesting federal dollars to move forward with raising the dam, and planned to gather support for the effort from the numerous cities and water agencies that also benefit from the water stored in the lake."We hope to demonstrate broad community support," said Sean White, of the RRFC&WID), explaining that not only do all the cities downstream of the lake – such as Cloverdale, Healdsburg and Santa Rosa – benefit "from a fully functional Lake Mendocino, but even areas such as Marin County. We are hoping to gather as broad a coalition as possible to see if we can't leverage some money."
The district's board agreed to draft a Lake Mendocino Improvement Resolution for consideration at its next meeting.
"Hopefully, we'll adopt it here, then get other folks to do the same," said White, adding that the item would be discussed during the meeting tonight.
If the dam is widened and raised, White said the capacity of the lake could be doubled, which would provide the lake a "savings account, instead of having to live paycheck-to-paycheck.
"That would give us multiple years of water supply, instead of a one-year supply," he added. "Now if it doesn't rain one year, the next year you're in trouble."
White said the district plans to ask Congress for the money to raise the dam, and also seek funding for a separate project related to the lake's water level – moving some of the recreational facilities for camping and picnicking, much of which has been underwater this summer.
So far, White said "the Corps has been using a process that they have called a feasibility study, to look at the feasibility of raising the dam, but that has been very slow and underfunded. We all know what the issues are – let's just get this done."
As for how much the projects will cost, White said "I don't know that anyone knows, but (raising the dam) will likely cost more than $100 million." He said there is also no budget for moving of the recreation facilities, but that would cost significantly less.
The lake – technically a reservoir – holds 122,500 acre-feet of water, and the district has 8,000 acre-feet it sells to other districts, cities such as Ukiah, and about 50 major agricultural users. The USACE operates Coyote Dam at the south end of the lake.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said an accused drunken driver crashed her car into a Mercedes and a Porsche in which world No. 15 tennis star Kei Nishikori was a passenger.
Witnesses told polcie Ashley Deal, 29, crashed her Kia Optima into a Mercedes-Benz driven by plastic surgeon Hatem Abou-Sayed about 6:40 p.m. Wednesday in Boca Raton, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Friday.
Police said Deal continued driving for about 370 feet before crashing into the back of a Porsche sport utility vehicle. Deal backed up from the Porsche and crashed into Abou-Sayed's Mercedes a second time, police said.
A witness flagged down a police officer, but Deal refused to get out of her vehicle. She nearly slammed her car door on an officer's arm and attempted to drive away before an officer was able to reach in through her open window and put the car in park, police said.
Nishikori, the 15th ranked tennis player on the ATP World Tour and the No. 3 seed in this week's Delray Beach Open, was a passenger in the Porsche.
"It was shocking," said Nishikori, who was not injured. "It was unfortunate that happened."
Deal was arrested on charges of hit and run, resisting arrest and driving under the influence.

Luger vs. P-38 historical preference ???

As I understand it, it wasn't a matter of complexity, etc. that made the P-38 superior to the Luger as a SERVICE WEAPON -- it was the fact that the Luger was generations older, in terms of design and production, and that much hand-fitting was required. That was NOT the case with the P-38. Lugers were costly, and slow to make, and with a good bit of hand-fitting required during production. That hand-fitting was the problem, and it extended beyond production.
In the field, you couldn't interchange all parts from the P-08 easily with other Lugers, where that was much less of a concern with the P-38. Lugers must have been an armorer's nightmares. If something broke, you couldn't just slap in a part from the bin; it had to be fit. (Our own 1911s didn't have that problem. I don't think it was as big a problem with the P-38s, either -- but have not read THAT in any sources.)
Notice how nearly all of the parts on a Luger are serialized? That helps keep the parts together when detail stripped. If some of them are hand-fit, keeping parts together is time-saving for those difficult weapons.
I've owned several Lugers and one P-38 (and have shot other P-38s), and I much preferred the Lugers for shooting and accuracy. But, I didn't have to use the P-08s in the field, in combat, etc. -- where they had a reputation for being hard to keep running right in dirty field conditions.

Hi Gunnar
I guess we all need a break here and there don't we!
Notice that he's in the shade too.
you got lucky with some blues and reds in the scene, to give color and contrast to the blacks and whites.
nice shot
Buin (42530) 2012-01-20 2:22
Hallo Gunnar!
A fancy presentation - and a funny one. The title really goes with the picture and the composition with all these diagonal lines works well and it somehow produces some dynamism in the composition - in contrary to this gondoliere ;-)
Greetings from cold anr rainy Siegen! Still no winter at all ...
papagolf21 (118509) 2012-01-20 2:27
Bonjour, Gunnar,
Bravo pour cette photographie très réussie à tous les niveaux.
Eh oui ! les gondoliers, eux aussi, ont parfois besoin d'un sommeil réparateur !
Excellent !
snunney (113536) 2012-01-20 3:29
Hello Gunnar,
An atmosphere full of charm and atmosphere. Well cropped to put the emphasis on the sleeping gondolier. Good colours and excellent clarity.
Hi Gunnar!
This is the other Venice, the Venice of the people that work and have a rest when the turists are having lunch....Good light management, and lots of details. good shot!

Well done!
Have a nice day.
tyro (26384) 2012-01-20 4:51
Hello Gunnar,
What a fabulously colourful shot and what superb composition!
From the far wall across the canal with the prows of the gondolas in perfect line-up, to the splashes of bright red and blue/white striped cloth, and then to the dozing gondoliere in his bright shirt lying so at peace, the layout of this picture is perfection! Lots of wonderful details to study too, like the lovely golden filigree work on the boats, the oars, his blue/white cushion and so on.
All perfectly exposed and as sharp as a pin.
Kind Regards,
P.S. Did you have a trip in a gondola? I believe that trips han be hideously expensive.

Hej Gunnar,
A fine snapshot of a nicely observed situation. There are many fine details on his gondola and the many parallel gondolas give the picture a strong and attractive diagonal accent.

Hello Gunnar,
Again, I found myself smiling at your shot! When there is a break in trade, why not have a siesta!
You have presented the shot really well, with the shapes of the gondolas repeating invitingly across the frame. The exposure is sharp so the details are engaging.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Gunnar,
I do not remember that you visited Venice last year. Very funny presentation and perfectly composed. I like this row of high endings. There are so many gondolas that I suppose he can enjoy a long dreaming. Excellent title. The gondoliere is like from old italian films.
Have you met any TE friends there?

You have captured and show us another side of Venice daily life. Original unusual photo. Yes, this is not so easy work, but the tickets to gondola are not so cheap too.
Have a good weekend!
wolf38 (30) 2012-01-21 1:32
Hello Gert. Well, the gondoliers have some time, and he has found a comfortable place to relax. The man has no idea how this all works aesthetically. It almost seems as though a movie director arranged on a floating stage everything. Really very beautiful and absolutely worth seeing. Rgds, Wolfgang.
jlbrthnn (76039) 2012-01-21 5:49
Hello Saxo,
It is heartening to see the captain does not abandon his ship, even for a nap;) The framing is very cleverly done with the sharp hulls of elegant gondolas. The light, colors and sharpness are excellent. Bravo.
Have a nice day.

Hej Gunnar,
I love the title :) The word "dream" can be interpreted in a few ways!
Very curious observation :) I'd say - a picturesque one.
A little unusual view of gondolas and a gondoliere... I think we are mostly used to seeing gondolieres rowing their boats!

Greetings and best wishes for a good evening ... Marino
chris04stop (6805) 2012-01-22 17:25
But GREAT Gunnar! I like SO much this image! Oh...Italy...Italy... Maybe (sure) the gondoliere had his stomach full, but full by spaghetti con le vongole, fritto misto di pesce...and what more? So he needed a nap... Bravissimo Gunnar: your eye was wonderful!

Hi Gunnar!
Even gondoliers need to rest sometimes! Good repetition of the gondolas too. Their oblique axis adds dynamism. Excellent sharpness & tight framing. The punchy light contrasts work well here. Strong tonal contrasts. Tfs!
eldancer1 (36343) 2012-02-19 12:37
I hope this guy didn't get in trouble for sleeping on the job. Great timing and capture with good dof and nice details. Wonderful colors. Well done, tfs.

Hello Gunnar - I must have missed this one while I was away. The red, white and blues work perfectly against the black and gold boats injecting a good splash of colour. The handsome gondolier is catching a well-earned 40 winks.... its hard work serenading all the women who queue to ride in his gondola and to admire his Italian good looks! A well seen and managed DL shot. Warm regards rosemary

Hello Gunnar, a great picture in great detail!!!
Very sharp,great light, dream place, dream boats, dream photo!
ourania (51103) 2014-02-07 10:53
Hello Gunnar,
a simple and interesting daily life scene portrayed in a very elegant and delightful composition. I like very much the tight framing that's perfectly adjusted to the layout of the scene. You've combined in a very agreeable way the tranquility of the scene with the dynamism of the characteristic diagonals. There's excellent clarity and the transfer from light to shadow is so smooth. We find beautiful and eloquent details all over, the wall and the water in the background are immediately recognizable too. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,

Nokomis halts Oceanside's four-game win streakRoad loss costs Mariners top spot in Eastern Class B
Newport — After flying high during its first nine games, sporting an 8-1 record with a tough three-point home loss to rival Camden Hills being its only blemish, it appeared few opponents could stop the No. 1 Oceanside boys basketball team.
However, the Mariners stumbled a bit on Friday night, Jan. 11 in a 62-41 road loss to Nokomis.
A slow start hampered the visiting Mariners, who fell out of first place in Eastern Class B after holding that coveted spot for much of the season.
In the Maine Principals' Association Heal Point Standing for Eastern Class B, Oceanside (8-2, 41.0494 points) is second, while Presque Isle (9-1, 45.0617 points) is first in the 19-team region. The top 13 squads qualify for the playoffs.
Nokomis improved to 6-4 with Friday's Heal Point-worthy win over Oceanside.
The Warriors took control early in Friday's game, leading 20-10, 35-20 and 46-32 at the quarter breaks.
For the Mariners, Shea Davenport tallied 13 points; Sam Meklin, 12; Isaiah Stone-Patterson, seven; David Gould, five; Nick Judge, two; and Keenan Hendricks, one.
For Nokomis, led by Carl Parker, a former athletic coach at Rockland District High School, Drew Wing scored 17 points, while Andrew Cartright and Noah Kershner both added 14 points.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in India
Quashing of FIR
Learned counsels, There is a FIR filed under section 420 and 417, but the compliant alleges dowry demand as well. While hearing for quashing the FIR will the judge consider dowry demand as well though the offense is not booked under DP act or is it enough to counter that the alleged cheating is not a cheating at all. The case is that my wife says I deceived her to enter into marriage without having any interest to marry (is this cheating?), she is not willing for re-union, putting pressure to get money from me. The allegations of Demand for dowry and I am not interested in marraige contradicts each other. Pls clarify. Thanks

CHICAGO - Office nappers now have the perfect excuse: New research shows that a little midday snooze seems to reduce the risk of fatal heart problems, especially among men.
In the largest study to date on the health effects of napping, researchers tracked 23,681 healthy Greek adults for an average of about six years. Those who napped for about half an hour at least three times weekly had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from heart attacks or other heart problems than those who did not nap.
Most participants were in their 50s, and the strongest evidence was in working men, according to the study, which appeared in Monday's issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
Associated Press
Engineer Mark Ekenbarger stretches out in the nap room at Yarde Metals, Inc.'s headquarters in Southington, Conn. Ekenbarger, who has a heart condition, says he frequently takes half-hour naps on the advice of his doctor to reduce stress.
The researchers said naps might benefit the heart by reducing stress, and jobs are a common source of stress.
It's likely that women reap similar benefits from napping, but not enough of them died during the study to be sure, said Dr. Dimitrios Trichopoulos, the study's senior author and a researcher at Harvard University and the University of Athens Medical School.
Heart problems killed 48 women who were studied, six of them working women, compared with 85 men, including 28 working men.
A daytime siesta has long been part of many cultures, especially those in warmer climates. Mediterranean-style eating habits featuring fruits, vegetables, beans and olive oil have been credited with contributing to relatively low rates of heart disease in those countries, but the researchers wanted to see if napping also plays a role.
"My advice is if you can (nap), do it. If you have a sofa in your office, if you can relax, do it," Trichopoulos said.
Exactly how stress is related to heart disease is uncertain. Some researchers think it might be directly involved, through unhealthy effects of stress hormones, or indirectly by causing people to exercise less, overeat or smoke.
The researchers in the latest study factored in diet, exercise, smoking and other habits that affect the heart but still found napping seemed to help.
Previous studies have had conflicting results. Some suggested napping might increase risk of death, but those mostly involved elderly people whose daytime sleepiness reflected poor health, Trichopoulos said.

Doritos Announces Return Of Crash The Super Bowl Contest With Details To Be Unveiled On Sept. 19
Contest Details to be Revealed During Webcast on www.CrashtheSuperBowl.com
Sep 05, 2012, 07:00 ET from Doritos
PLANO, Texas, Sept. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Doritos brand today announced the return of Crash the Super Bowl, the groundbreaking contest that invites consumers to create homemade Doritos ads for the chance to see their work air during the Super Bowl broadcast. Marking the seventh anniversary of the program, this year's contest promises to be the biggest, boldest to date with many exciting new twists and an opportunity for the winner that could be a true career game changer. Full details will be revealed during a not-to-be-missed announcement webcast taking place at www.crashthesuperbowl.com at 8 p.m. EDT / 5 p.m. PDT on Sept. 19, 2012. A recording of the event will be available on the Doritos Facebook page following the live announcement.
As one of the marquee brands from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, Doritos originally introduced Crash the Super Bowl in 2007, and aired its first consumer-created commercial during Super Bowl XLIV. Over the last six years, consumer-created Doritos ads have consistently ranked within the top-five spots of the USA TODAY Ad Meter, and three of the last four years they have scored the No. 1 ranking. As a result, the creators of these top-ranked winning ads have been awarded millions of dollars in grand prize money. Contest finalists have also gone on to receive commercial work, Hollywood representation and other once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. To date, the brand has received more than 19,000 consumer-generated ad submissions further demonstrating the popularity of the award-winning program.
PepsiCo's relationship with the NFL is among the company's longest running and most successful sports sponsorships. PepsiCo will leverage its relationship with the NFL to connect with consumers throughout the season, with activations spanning many of the company's largest food and beverage brands. Examples include:
- Pepsi will sponsor the Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show in New Orleans on February 3, 2013, bringing Pepsi's signature style of consumer engagement to pop culture's biggest stage.
- Pepsi and the NFL recently launched the Pepsi NFL Anthems program, a national campaign that will feature some of today's most talented musical artists, iconic NFL teams, and exciting players.
- Quaker Oats is teaming up with the NFL and quarterback Andrew Luck on the NFL PLAY 60 Super Bowl Contest presented by Quaker, a program that will find inspiring kids who make eating right and physical fitness a priority and can motivate their peers to do the same.
- Gatorade and its Gatorade Sports Science Institute are working closely with 11 NFL rookies this year to help guide their nutrition plans and help improve performance. Each rookie's story is being documented in a web series called "Everything to Prove" on NFL.com.
- Frito-Lay and Pepsi are joining forces for the "Make Your Game Day Official" promotion, which will give consumers who purchase Frito-Lay and Pepsi foods and beverages together a chance to win official NFL prizes.

We analyzed data from a longitudinal cohort study of persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Tijuana, Mexico, to explore whether cigarette smoking increases the risk of interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) conversion. PWID were recruited using respondent driven sampling (RDS). QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT) assay conversion was defined as interferon-gamma concentrations <0.35 IU/mL at baseline and ≥0.7 IU/mL at 18 months. We used multivariable Poisson regression adjusted for RDS weights to estimate risk ratios (RRs). Of 129 eligible participants, 125 (96.9%) smoked at least one cigarette during followup with a median of 11 cigarettes smoked daily, and 52 (40.3%) had QFT conversion. In bivariate analysis, QFT conversion was not associated with the number of cigarettes smoked daily (). Controlling for age, gender, education, and alcohol use, the RRs of QFT conversion for smoking 6–10, 11–15, and ≥16 cigarettes daily compared to smoking 0–5 cigarettes daily were 0.9 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.5–1.6), 0.5 (95% CI, 0.3–1.2), and 0.7 (95% CI, 0.3–1.6), respectively. Although this study did not find an association between self-reported smoking intensity and QFT conversion, it was not powered sufficiently to negate such an association. Larger longitudinal studies are needed to fully explore this relationship.

SuperPreview Online Service in Expression Web 4 SP 1
Expression Web 4 now has a new SuperPreview Online Service which allows support for additional browsers and operating systems.
NOTE: It is best before reading this tutorial to first review the in-depth Expression Web 3.0 SuperPreview tutorial with Starter Kit before expanding your knowledge into Expression Web 4.0 SP1/SP2 SuperPreview.
The most requested feature for SuperPreview was the ability to preview pages that needed to be authorised with multiple browsers. With the advent of Service Pack 1.0 you are now able to do just that.
To use these new features you will need to install:
Microsoft Expression Web 4 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
System Requirements:
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Service Pack 3
- PC with 1 GHz or faster processor
- 1 GB of RAM or more
- 2 GB or more of available hard-disk space
- .NET Framework 4.0
- Silverlight 4.0
- Support for Microsoft DirectX® 9.0 graphics with Windows Vista Display Driver Model (WDDM)
- Driver, 128 MB of graphics RAM or more, Pixel Shader 3.0 in hardware, 32-bits per pixel
- DVD compatible drive
- 1024 x 768 or higher resolution monitor with 24-bit color
- Internet functionality requires Internet access (additional fees may apply)
- Some product features require Firefox 3.0 or later, Internet Explorer 8
- Along with SP1 comes support for chrome (via online service)
- Page interaction Mode - which lets you as the name suggest browse interactively to the page you want to view which then submits that page to the browsers you selected previously. Which of course allows you to view password-protected pages via SuperPreview.
- If IE9 is installed locally SuperPreview can now check rendering in IE6, IE7, IE8 and IE9.
There are four changes to the toolbar:
- Interaction Mode Icon (globe with arrow)
- SuperPreview Online Service Icon (page with pen)
- Enable or disable Preview with remote browsers Icon (bar with half circles above)
- The Zoom Icon is now on the left instead of the right of the Url location Icon.
Fig 1 - Toolbar changes
NOTE: If the SuperPreview online service has not been enabled on your computer, the SuperPreview online service icon is not displayed
Setting SuperPreview Options
If you have not already done so by following the Expression Web 4.0 Setting up Ebook or Setting Up Expression Web 4.0 online Tutorials you should set your options before you begin.
Fig 2 - Options Icon Click the 'Options Icon' (see Fig 2) to bring up the SuperPreview Options dialog box.
View Screen Shot - Fig 3 - SuperPreview Options
You should tick the 'Always package web pages for remote browser previews'. (see Fig 3) What this does is request every resource for a particular page and then packages that and sends it to the remote browser service. This is required if resources for a page are behind a firewall where the preview service can't get to them if not used it could cause page rendering problems
Account Management Options
Also in the SuperPreview Options dialog box are your Account management options
Deactivate: Click to disable 'The SuperPreview online service' on this computer.
Delete account: Click to delete your 'SuperPreview online service' account.
WARNING: Deleting your SuperPreview account disables all instances of The SuperPreview online service associated with the e-mail address you used to activate your account. If you delete your SuperPreview online service account, you will have to complete the sign-up process again for every computer associated with the deleted email address to reactivate The SuperPreview online service.
Activating SuperPreview Online Service
How to obtain SuperPreview Online Service
Firstly you must be a licensed user of either Expression Studio 4.0 Web Professional or Expression Studio 4.0 Ultimate a trial version won't do. SuperPreview online service Beta is available via Expression Web however its a beta service and not a feature of Expression Web.
For additional information on the SuperPreview online service Beta, including the latest service terms, fees and conditions, please see the end user license agreement (EULA).
Open SuperPreview in one of the following ways;
File - Display in SuperPreview
Click the SuperPreview Icon from the Standard Formatting Toolbar
Use the keyboard shortcut of Shift + F12
If your page is not saved you will be asked to save it, if you don't wish to see this reminder again you will need to tick the radio box for 'Automatically save page before previewing'.
Fig 4 - Save Changes
SuperPreview will open and if you have not made any previous browser selections you will be asked to do so. You can sign up for the SuperPreview Online Service from the Icon or from the Remote Browsers Sign up link in the panes.(see Fig 5)
Fig 5 - Select a Browser Sign up link
Click either of these and the SuperPreview Online Sign up Dialog box will appear (see Fig 6)
View Screen Shot - Fig 6 - SuperPreview Online Sign up Dialog box
Press the sign up button on the bottom right
Next you will be asked to enter your e-mail address and click Next. An e-mail will then be sent to the address you entered and you should then follow the instructions in the e-mail to validate your e-mail address. Till this is done the SuperPreview online service will not be enabled on your computer.(see Fig 7
Enter your email address and validate it
View Screen Shot - Fig 7- SuperPreview Online Sign up, enter e-mail address
After you have entered your e-mail address SuperPreview proceeds to submit it. (see Fig 8)
View Screen Shot - Fig 8 - SuperPreview Online Sign up, submitting e-mail address
The next dialog box lets you know that the service has not yet been activated, however an e-mail has been sent to your email address for you to follow the instructions to validate your e-mail address. If you cannot find it remember to check your Junk e-mail box. Once that is done you can then click Activate to enable the online service. (see Fig 9)
View Screen Shot - Fig 9 - Online Service Activation
Once you have clicked the link in the e-mail to validate your e-mail address, you will be sent to a page in the browser which confirms this. (see Fig 10)
View Screen Shot - Fig 10 - Confirmation page of your e-mail address
Activate your Online Service
Now that you have validated your address, you may click the Activate button on the Online Service Activation dialog box. (see Fig 9)
The service will submit your activation and once activated with show you a dialog box that says your Online Service is enabled. (see Fig 11)
View Screen Shot - Fig 11 - Online Service enabled
As the Online Service Enabled dialog says, the service has now been enabled on your computer. In the Browser Selector screen you can now select from the remote browsers currently available. These will be periodically downloaded and updated in the background. Press the Exit button and begin your selections from the local or remote browsers.
Fig 12 - Select a browser local or remote
As you can see I have an older version of Firefox installed and I don't have IE9 installed locally. I do have installed locally Opera and Safari for windows 5.0.5 (at the time of writing this tutorial), these are not available via either locally or remote in SuperPreview.
With the remote service at this time we now have available the browsers IE9, IE 8 FireFox 3, FireFox 4, Safari 4 (Mac), Safari 5 (Mac) and Chrome 10. Internet Explorer 9 is also now supported as a local browser for both SuperPreview and the Expression Web Snapshot feature, and Internet Explorer 8 is now built into these preview tools. If you have Internet Explorer 9 installed, you can view page renderings in Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, and Internet Explorer 9.
View Screen Shot - Fig 13 - Preview in Browser list
Now with SP1 Expression Web finds these installs automatically (including Chrome, Safari and Opera) and offers them as 'Preview in browser' (See Fig 13) via the File menu with the different resolution sizes, which you can add to if you so wish. The default sizes are 800x600 - 1024x768 - 1280x1024.
Unsupported browser versions
On my beta machine I have Firefox 4.01 installed, however this is not supported locally (at the time of writing this tutorial) and so SuperPreview will tell you about unsupported versions and updates.
View Screen Shot - Fig 14 - Online Service enabled
Click the Icon (See Fig 14) which sends you to the Microsoft KB article called Information about the SuperPreview feature in Expression Web 4.0 here it lists the local browsers SuperPreview will support. This article will keep you up to date about supported browsers.
Error reporting
Sometimes errors can occur, to offset this you can check the status of the Online Service, by pressing the Check Status button. (see Fig 15)
View Screen Shot - Fig 15- Check Status
Which will then show you the status of the online browsers (See Fig 16)
View Screen Shot - Fig 16 - SuperPreview Online Service Status
If all appears okay just click the 'Refresh the browser' button, sometimes you just have to click it a few times. If its still not working then wait a while and try again. It may say there is a problem, even if when you visit the site in the browser all appears ok.
NOTE: You can also check the Service Status from the Options Icon
Sometimes SP will tell you "A browser requires purchase check for options", however once it begins to look for a browser this will go away. The first time I saw this I thought that even though I had activated Expression Web somehow SuperPreview had not been activated and it had run out of the trial period. This is not so, its just a little glitch that is seen sometimes.
Page Interaction Mode
Page Interaction Mode means you get exactly that, you can interact with the live site and click the menu links in the site to navigate to the page you want, then simply preview in SuperPreview. What's more you can also now with SP1, preview web content that requires user authentication.
Fig 17 - Page Interaction Mode Icon. Use the Interactive Mode Icon or press the shortcut keyboard combo of ALT + I, this will open the Page Interaction Mode Panel.
Insert your Remote URL
View Screen Shot - Fig 18 - Page Interaction Mode
You can navigate to the page you want, or use the back and forwards arrow buttons on the top left. Then login into your cookie-based website.
Secure Websites that require authentication credentials
Page Interaction mode is designed to work only for sites that use cookie-based authentication. What it does is set the necessary cookie so that requests made via SuperPreview will send the authentication cookie and allow you to preview protected pages.
NOTE: Page Interaction mode will not work with Basic authentication such as logins that require a pop-up dialog box.
If your content requires that you login. I.E. A Word Press blog, you simply follow the instructions above and login via the Page Interaction Mode Panel.
NOTE: Your logon credentials will persist for the duration of your SuperPreview session.
Use alternate authentication
On the bottom left is a checkbox that says 'Use alternate authentication' what this does is cause SuperPreview to use the exact HTML that is in the interactive window to render any other browser you choose rather than attempt to authenticate using cookies. I.E. It doesn't actually do authentication at all.
NOTE: It should be used only if logging in via Page Interaction Mode does not work correctly for a specific site.
Then press the Preview button on the bottom right of the 'Page Interaction Mode' Pane, to view the page within SuperPreview.
SuperPreview Updates
Fig 19 - SuperPreview Updates
When there are new browsers available from the SuperPreview Online Service, SuperPreview will update and let you know the new browser and version that is available.

We're slowly getting settled into our new place…a full photo tour will come, eventually. Ideally when my underwear and stuff isn't strewn about the office like a chimpanzee had a conniption fit in here. Yes. Chimpanzee. For now, some of the rooms still look a bit like this. Not ALL of them, thanks to a concerted effort from our overwhelmingly helpful friends and family. I'd probably lose my mind without them. Moving with a teething baby is, uh, interesting. Oh, and because several people have asked us on Twitter and Facebook: we decided to keep renting for awhile longer. Just not quite ready to take that giant financial plunge yet. But we were extremely fortunate to find a lovely home for rent in the newspaper classifieds. We got a fantastic deal on it because, frankly, I don't think anyone really reads newspapers anymore. Do they?
Anyway, Nate and I officially had our first non-takeout meal in the new place, which I consider to be quite an achievement. We dug out some pots and (mostly) cleared the table and I made a Meal Soup from Bertolli (you can check them out over on Facebook and Twitter, too). Frozen Texas Toast rounded out the dish. Semi-homemade, I didn't have to do a ton of work, and we got it done for less than $10. Even on busy days, it really is important to me that my family at least tries to eat a healthy dinner together, so I always keep easy meals like that on hand. Soup is good because you can get vegetables, meat, pasta and herbs without a bunch of hassle. And so what if I can't find matching bowls and we have to resort to paper plates because all the other ones went missing…right? The important thing is that we get fed. Just getting to sit still together for a few moments is special to me.
Next on our list is installing a water filter. I'm definitely going to have to enlist Opa's help with that, because Nate has been crazy busy at work. I'm too lazy to get to the store and buy water, so we've been surviving on a bunch of canned Cokes that Papa brought over for us. I've had more carbonation in the last week alone than the entire year before that. It hasn't been the healthiest time of my life.
The previous people at our place were evicted and kindly left a ton of their stuff in the garage, so we get to deal with that now. I told the landlady that we'd Craigslist it, put it out on the street or drag it to the dumpster for her.
I was compensated by Bertolli to participate in the Weeknight Meal Special Challenge. All opinions are my own.

Incredible SQ. It worth every penny
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
If I had to own another box after buying this one, I will buy the same. Very light weight, fits easly and exactly in a corner. Im powering it with a JL 900HD amp, with 500 watts and this subs it is really really tight. Nothing boomy, really really nice, punchy, powerfull and well definited bass. I hear most of time classic rock, but sometimes all kind of music, from classical hip hop. Also, first time buying at crutchfield, and will be many more purchaces in the future. Couldnt be better service, incredible security for credit card users, and all on time. THANKS CRUTCHFIELD and JL AUDIO!.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Animal Rescue League, Laurel, MS, USA
I have adopted several pets from the Animal Rescue League, and I have supported the organization for many years. The staff, board & volunteers do a fantastic job of caring for the needs of the animals. Most of all, they love these animals. They can make a dollar stretch farther than you could ever imagine. You can give to the ARL and KNOW that your money is invested in the lives of these animals - sometimes for their entire lifetime (as they are a no-kill shelter.)
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
finding healthy, loving pets to add to my family
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
build a bigger, updated facility so that they could rescue more animals

Stop EU legislation wiping out ancient and effective traditional herbal medicinal cultures
It's serious and it's imminent. After April 2011 lots of herbs from traditional cultures (Chinese medicine, Ayurveda) will disappear unless we campaign hard. We have to stop EU legislation steam-rollering traditional medicinal cultures in Europe.
232 comments
katrina commented
as a pagan, herbs are an essential part of my practice. By law anything to do with religious ceremony and practice cannot be banned or removed, so therefore what they are doing is in fact illegal.
Brenda Johnson commented
Stop EU legislation wiping out ancient and effective traditional herbal medicinal cultures
Sarah Calderbank commented
I'm so pleased we have the solidarity of such positive campaigning by organisations like ANH and now 38 Degrees.... its a hard journey processing it all and is a complete threat to many of our identities. There's a lot of us out there that care passionately about maintaining our right to diversity of choice. Lets make our voices heard like we did for the forests!
Robert Verkerk commented
Thanks for so many of you supporting our campaign at Alliance for Natural Health - and helping us to take the issues to the UK High Court. We're working hard on the case - and we're confident it gives us the best chance we have to reign in the anti-herbal madness!
Maria Katra commented
They have come up with many ways to reduce the population on earth but this is the most absurd one...and the most obvious I think...we must react and fight back
Chris Carter commented
This seriously violates my human rights to take responsibility for my own health. How can anyone justify allowing the population to ruin their health smoking & drinking but ban vitamins, minerals & herbs as detrimental to health
Joanna Wild commented
This ban is absurd. Where is our freedom of choice and what the hell next? Slowly and quietly creeping in taking more and more control and lining the already bulging pockets and profits of the big pharmaceutical companies.
Lesley commented
I'm getting sick and tired of Regulatory bodies who have no expert knowledge of what they are regulating on, listening to the advice of the industry with the most amount of money and lobbying power and using this information to base their laws. The 4th leading cause of death in the world is from adverse drug reactions. To the best of my knowledge, no deaths have been recorded from herbs or food supplements. Regulators, wake up and smell the peppermint tea!
Chris commented
We must retain the right to choose. This world is turning into something out of a futuristic novel. Why must the state prevail over our individuality?
NikkiDavies commented
I cannot understand why they are trying to do this, when harmful drugs like tobacco stay legal. I guess money really does speak louder than words.
Gem Elle commented
Nature itself has the ability to heal us through its own natural abundances. Why would we want swap this for chemicals ? We wouldn't. Herbal medicines have been used for thousands of years and today is the lifeline for many of us who believe in natural purpose-made healing not mass produced chemically based toxins. They not only help us heal but provide a means of income. It's outrageous that nature herself is banned. What next, water?

Humans and animals have been using plants growing in nature to ease their suffering and cure their ailments for thousands of years. Nature has a great deal still to teach us. Plants with amazing curative and restorative properties are being destroyed before we can even benifit from them, especially in the amazon. We have a right to seek help and support for our bodies from traditional medicinal/healing practices. Do not presume to dictate to us or limit us to a purely pharmacutical approach. Whilst modern medicine has done many good things, our understanding of plants is still growing. Sometimes extractions or synthesised chemicals are less benificial as they miss the suble combination of elements in the original plant or are made too strong. Credit us with the capacity to make our own decisions. Allow us to continue to use plants and herbs if we so choose!

As someone who has a major problem with detoxifying prescription & over the counter medicines, I rely heavily on "alternatives" Herbs HAVE a place in our lives & we should have the right to choose to keep them there.

agree 100%. can you & Elizabeth Upton combine somehow? the vote is split as of now
mark lawrence commented
that's got to be right scam, I bet every pharma company is laughing right into the big wigs' pockets, what is it lately, ultimate freedom of choice clamp down or something
Jane commented
I believe in the right to choose our medecines and how we want to treat our health problems. If people want to use herbal medecines they should be allowed to and thus should be able to access them from the health food shops as have been done in the past.
Natural medecines have been used effectively in the UK for many years and the directive will take away some of our choices we have had in the past.
The herbal medecines suit some people better than other medecines which often have a lot of side effects.
Cristina commented
Can we for once prioritize what is best for everyone instead of what a few can make loads of money on...
Dr. John Hassam commented
We need to stop the Big Pharma to kill people with useless and dangerous drugs!
Joanna Webber commented
As an Ayurvedic practitioner I feel very strongly about this issue and would love the collective energy if 38 Degrees to be put behind it : )
Edward commented
To ban some natural herbs is an insult to God and mother Earth. Most, if not all, Pharmaceutical scientists and researchers have "closed" minds and so are unable to appreciate the subtle yet effective stimulants given from natural herbs to effect cures. Natural herbs cannot be patented and so this is why the pharmaceutical companies want them banned; there's no money in it for them.

Kansas University football coach Turner Gill, men's basketball coach Bill Self and women's coach Bonnie Henrickson spoke at Monday's Topeka Jayhawk Club's annual Otto Schnellbacher Classic at Shawnee Country Club.
Each commented on possible conference realignment.
"I know each institution in each conference ... all are trying to look out for each other," Gill said, indicating he had spoken to his former coach at Nebraska, Husker AD Tom Osborne recently, not expounding on what they discussed.
"I really believe the Big 12 stands up to a lot of different things from that nature. We are all hopeful and pretty much somewhat cautiously confident it will stay intact. We will all have to wait and see like everybody else and see what happens here hopefully in the short term," Gill added.
Self reiterated his hope that the Big 12 stays intact.
"Whenever you consider going to another league ... why can't we fix the way we have it in this league?" Self said. "I think that's what people are working on. At the end of the day, I believe this could turn out to be the best thing for the Big 12 because it forced our hand to do some things to catch us up."
Henrickson also loves where her program is at — the Big 12.
"On our side, personally, selfishly I am working in the best women's basketball league in the country," Henrickson said. "There are so many positives. I understand the financial part of it ... the level of (Big 12 commissioner) Dan Beebe and the presidents? No, I am not at the table for those conversations. I am not a math major," she added, "but there's enough information from where we want to go as a league. Hopefully when this is over, we are a better league because of this. On the women's basketball side, it's a phenomenal league we play in.
"I could not be more confident in Lew (Perkins, KU AD) and Dan Beebe and what they are able to do and the other administrators in this league. You have some of the best administration in the country at the table."
Henrickson was asked if her job would be as attractive if KU was not in a BCS league.
"I'm at Kansas and that makes it really attractive with the facilities we have and the academic opportunities we have for student athletes," she said. "It would be different. I'll get to that (and comment) if we get to that. I'm recruiting like we're in the Big 12 and it's the best women's basketball conference. Doing anything different than that would be wasting time."

Today, I am working on a project, that uses Puppet template to create a stackdriver config file: /etc/sysconfig/stackdriver
For some reason, this Puppet template (.erb) is 'dos' file format (from my colleague), which is Windows format. The line break is CR + LF. Usually this is OK, because the config file mostly just for Linux service to read. However, in stackdriver service startup script, there is a line ' . /etc/sysconfig/stackdriver '. Stackdrive service uses this config file to initial certain variables. In this case, if you have Windows line breaks in the config file, you will see this error:
: command not found
: command not found
I then use sublime text to recreate this file in unix file format, problem goes away. Hope this helps someone.
These sublime text personal preference setting are recommended, unless you are a Windows platform developer:
"default_line_ending": "unix",
"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true
Update: It turns out it is because I copied the files from my Windows PC over to Linux server. What I should do is to git clone the files on the Linux server. This way Git will help deal with the line ending issue.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Immediately, I found myself comparing "Shadow Boxers" to the wrestling documentary, "Beyond the Mat." Both deal with controversial sports and athletes that don't seem to garner the same amount of respect that men's boxing, football, and baseball seem to do. The beauty about both movies is, that after you're done watching them, you come out with a new found respect for a sport that you otherwise wouldn't think twice about.
The movie blends training sessions, fight footage, and interviews with boxers and trainers almost seamlessly. It plays out more like an HBO "America Undercover" documentary than anything else. Regardless, this is a movie about women fighting for respect; trying to break the gender barriers that keep women's boxing as a novelty act. Is it a good documentary on women's boxing? Most definitely.
Image presents "Shadow Boxers" in Widescreen 1.66:1 (some scenes are in color, others are in black-and-white). Shot on an extremely low budget, the picture looks it. Sunlight looks harsh, the print has dirt and grain, and flesh tones look a little off; but that's the charm to video presentation. It "looks" like a documentary, which is exactly what Director Katya Bankowsky was striving for.
The audio is presented here in Dolby Surround 2.0.Once again, small budget. Fight scenes sound decent on my system, but nothing like "Rocky." Dialogue is clear, and there are no audio dropouts to report.
An interactive DVD menu offers the choices of "Feature Start", "Scene Selections, and "Extra Features."
A behind the scenes featurette with the director. There is some good insight from Katya Bankowsky, as she really enjoyed putting the film together.
Final Thoughts: Well, it's a good documentary on women's boxing. Unfortunately, this release is very light in the extras department, and I don't know if it has much replay-ability after the first viewing. I'll play it safe, and recommend a rental first.

Letter: A poem about No Child Left Behind
Every child can learn
They have God's DNA
They are wired to be inspired
No matter what people say.
The No Child Left Behind Law
Was never intended to be run this way,
National and state government gurus,
With $ in mind, plus perks, had their say.
Guess who loses? The child --
Their 9 parts of the brain ignored --
Time, ignorance and no one really listening
Has given them the grade card -- they're bored!
Technology, smart boards -- let's try that --
Ka-ching -- put in the money -- they'll survive!
The broken system will all be fixed --
By the way -- what's on your hard drive?

Jones keeping up with Bent
Kenwyne Jones has admitted he does not want to fall too far behind Sunderland strike partner Darren Bent.
Last Updated: 28/09/09 11:40am
Kenwyne Jones has admitted he does not want to fall too far behind Sunderland strike partner Darren Bent.
Bent took his goal tally for the season to six with a penalty against Wolves on Sunday but then allowed Jones to take the second spot-kick of the match.
The Trinidad and Tobago international duly slotted home and then scored again for his fourth of the Premier League campaign to date.
Speaking about the penalty, Jones told the Sunderland Echo: "We always say that the one who wins it, takes it. Darren won the penalty and got hold of the ball, but I got to the spot first and didn't want to move!
"I don't want to fall too far behind him in goals and thankfully he handed me the ball. We both want to score as many goals as possible.
"I didn't really feel any more pressure because he gave me the ball. He has a 100 per cent record from the spot this season, but I was confident I would score, I wanted another goal and I stuck it away."
Tight unit
Black Cats manager Steve Bruce criticised Bent for his charity after the match but Jones has defended his team-mate, saying the gesture showed a strong spirit within the side.
Jones was also delighted with Sunderland's character as they prevailed 5-2 after being pegged back by Wolves.
He said: "I think the fact Darren did give me the ball for the penalty shows that we are a very tight unit this season.
"Whether we have won or lost, we have stuck together and we will need that if we want to take the club to the next level.
"We did get a bit nervous when Wolves equalised. We got anxious and we could sense the crowd was anxious.
"But we stuck to the task and believed in each other."
Sunderland are currently eighth in the Premier League table after an encouraging start to the season and Jones is looking forward to the upcoming games against Manchester United and Liverpool.
"It was an important win for us," he added. "Losing at Burnley (the previous weekend) was a disappointment, but we reacted in the right way when we beat Birmingham in the Carling Cup and continued against Wolves.
"We have two of the big boys coming up now so it was good to set ourselves up for them with a good home win."

BUSINESSES seeking to grow their exports would be able to bid for a share of $1.5 million in annual funding as part of a competitive grants scheme planned by the Opposition.
Opposition trade spokesman Steven Marshall will release a new policy today that is aimed at lifting South Australia's trade performance back to near the national trend, or better.
Mr Marshall said SA exports stagnated at $10 billion in the past decade while national exports had doubled from $125 billion to $250 billion. SA's exports in the past year have tailed off after a bumper grain crop.
The grants scheme would release funding based on the strength of export growth plans presented to the Liberal government by individual businesses, collectives or chambers of commerce.
Taxpayer cash would be supplied to match private investment to a rate of up to dollar-for-dollar. Judgments on worthy projects would be made by officials in the trade department based on criteria set out by an industry-led advisory groups featuring experienced business leaders.
Mr Marshall said the change would be funded by junking the State Government's Gateway Business Program, which provides grants up to a maximum of $25,000 over two years for eligible projects.
"It's been significantly under-subscribed for a significant period of time," he said yesterday.
"The market just doesn't value it."
Mr Marshall said his plan was more focused on allowing the market to identify its own opportunities than "trying to fit in with the Government's strategy for exporting".
He said the State Government should be more heavily involved in supporting non-commodity exports and had little ability to affect export rates of internationally traded goods like resources and wheat.

UK Corporate Acquisitions in Latin America in the 1990s: Lost Opportunities in a New Economic Environment?
Over the 1990s foreign direct investment (FDI) flowed into Latin America at an unprecedented rate. During this period, capital inflows associated with privatisations and private mergers and acquisitions (M&As) rose especially steeply. Drawing on original firm- level transactions data, this article examines the extent to which UK enterprises participated in the Latin American privatisation and private M&A boom. The authors conclude that, relative to their counterparts in many other major industrial countries, UK enterprises adopted a cautious posture, largely eschewing privatisation opportunities and concentrating M&A activities across relatively few operations, sectors and countries, in order to strength product and market positions. Moreover, the strategic logic guiding the most important corporate acqusitions centered on gaining access to domestic markets rather than attempting to create global export platforms.

Written on: 01/11/2013 by Faden (1 review written)
I ordered a pair of shoes on the 24th. I paid for fast delivery within 4 days. I received an e-mail to say my order is dispatched on the 25th.
All I can say now is that it is 1 November and 6 days letter there is no sign of a delivery. I contacted them via Boohoo customer services and my reply stated Hermes attempted delivery 3 times but I was not there so order is returning to Boohoo and they cannot refund me my postage.
They were standoffish and I was not very happy as
1. I was home but never saw a Attempted delivery card
2. I have used Hermes and they have delivered to my address with no issues and where I am not there they have left a notification card but somehow with Boohoo (apparently my address is not correct and they tried to deliver with no-one there). Each time I was home apparently I was not but up to now I have not received an attempted delivery card.
Strangely enough, my other parcel ordered 4 days ago with Justfab arrived today at the same address with issues using Hermes.
This company is unprofessional and lacks integrity.
Disgusting in 2013 and in UK as well to have a company so 'Rogue'
Very Unhappy Lady.

Police and an Arlington family are still searching for a 77-year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease who has been missing for more than a week.
Maria Arrocha has not been heard from since she wandered out of her Arbor Lane home on Dec. 18. She lives with her daughter at the home at New York Avenue and Park Row Lane.
The Arrochas said their Christmas spirits were down this year.
"It was a different day -- no celebration," said Martin Arrocha, her son. "We couldn't eat. We couldn't have dinner. It was a very difficult day."
Maria Arrocha has not been able to take much-needed medications, and her family fears she is lost, cold and confused.
"This is like a nightmare," grandson Ricardo Arrocha said. "We don't know what to do. We go out and look for her, but with no results yet."
Maria Arrocha is Hispanic, stands about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs approximately 180 pounds. She has black and gray hair and brown eyes.
"She was always hugging us, kissing us. She was the best," Ricardo Arrocha said.
The family has been distributing fliers in both English and Spanish throughout North Texas. There is a $1,000 reward for information leading to her location.
"We're going to keep trying, passing out fliers, talking to the people, talking to the police," Martin Arrocha said.
Authorities urge people to search around their properties -- backyards, garages and sheds -- because Arrocha is likely wandering and disoriented.
Arlington police say they continue to receive tips but nothing has panned out. They are relying on the public's help in this case, stressing that even the smallest tip could be enough to help bring Maria Arrocha back home.
Anyone who has seen Maria Arrocha is asked to call police by dialing 911 or 817-459-5600 and stay with her until officers arrive.

Improved Nats look to reach next level in '12
Improved Nats look to reach next level in '12
But Washington is not satisfied with what it accomplished. General manager Mike Rizzo is going to try to fix the problems it had in 2011. On-base percentage is an area he wants improved, and Rizzo is also seeking a top-of-the-order bat to fill the outfield position in center field, or right field if Jayson Werth moves over to center.
The Nats have enough pitching depth on their Major League roster and Minor League system that they could make a trade for an outfielder.
"We would discuss trading some of our pitching to fill some of our needs, if the trade makes sense to us," Rizzo said.
The team is also looking for a starting pitcher who would have an immediate impact while helping the young hurlers, such as Jordan Zimmermann and right-hander Stephen Strasburg.
"We are an outfield bat away and a starting pitcher away from being a contender in the division," Rizzo said.
Contract issues
Free agents: Rick Ankiel, CF; Alex Cora, INF; Livan Hernandez, RHP; Laynce Nix, OF/1B; Ivan Rodriguez, C.
Eligible for arbitration: Jesus Flores, C; Tom Gorzelanny, LHP; Michael Morse, LF; John Lannan, LHP; Doug Slaten, LHP
Player options: None.
Club options: Jonny Gomes, OF.
Non-tender possibilities: Gorzelanny, Slaten.
A position-by-position look at where the 2011 roster stands going into 2012
The Nationals are set with Wilson Ramos behind the plate for years to come. Rodriguez, who is 157 hits away from 3,000, will not be back. Flores showed that he has fully recovered from shoulder surgery and is likely the backup for next season.
First base
The Nationals have three quality first basemen in Adam LaRoche, Chris Marrero and Michael Morse, and are set to go into 2012 with LaRoche in the starting role. LaRoche has another year left on his contract, while Marrero could be used as a trade chip. Morse will likely be an outfielder next season.
Second base
Espinosa has been up and down with the bat, but his defense saved the Nationals a lot of runs in 2011. Manager Davey Johnson is confident that the switch-hitting Espinosa will come around at the plate next season.
Ian Desmond improved defensively, but it took him until after the break to get his bat going. It helped that Johnson told him to stop taking every pitch to right field. Johnson has often compared Desmond to Barry Larkin, the best player Johnson managed. It will be interesting to see if Desmond lives up to that promise.
Third base
Third base is a position the Nats don't have to look at for years to come, provided they give Ryan Zimmerman another long-term deal. The only thing that Zimmerman needs is a chance to go to the postseason for the first time in his career, and that could happen next year if the Nationals fill some of their needs.
For now, Werth and Morse are the corner outfielders. The big question is, who is going to play center field? Rizzo gave the scenario of Werth moving to center and trying to fill the right-field spot. One thing is certain, the Nationals want a top-of-the-order bat in the outfielder.
For the first time in their history in Washington, the Nats' rotation has a bright future. It starts with Zimmermann and Strasburg, who will be on an innings limit. After that, it's anybody's guess who will complete the starting five, although Tommy Milone, Brad Peacock and Ross Detwiler showed great promise in September. If John Lannan is not traded for a bat, he will part of the rotation.
Rizzo said he looking to acquire a top-of-the-rotation pitcher to lead Strasburg and Zimmermann. The Nationals already sent a scout to monitor Rangers left-hander C.J. Wilson, who is eligible to become a free agent after the season. They also could go after left-hander Mark Buehrle, who has been a consistent winner with the White Sox for 12 seasons.
Thanks to Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard, the Nationals have one of the strongest relief corps in the Majors. But the Nats need a long man out of the 'pen. Gorzelanny is not expected to be back with the team next year and Hernandez, who is a free agent this offseason, said he is willing to take over the role.

Massa media: The week on cable
Political stories normally fit in a neat left-right divide, with Fox and MSNBC ready and willing to take predictable and opposite sides. But then came Eric Massa.
"We're talking about Eric Massa 24/7 on the TV," Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) complained on the House floor.
Story Continued Below
The problem for cable: Is he our guy or theirs?
The opening act was murky. Initially, only POLITICO linked sexual harassment allegations to Massa's announcement that he wasn't going to run for reelection. But when some of the charges began leaking out, the political lines seemed clear: Although Massa had once been a Republican, a Democratic congressman who had opposed the Iraq war and voted against health care because it wasn't liberal enough seemed an ideal conservative target.
But then Massa said he was being pressured to resign by White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel — a story line that proved irresistible to the Drudge Report and Fox News talk show host Glenn Beck.
"Left and Right need to hear what Massa has to say," Beck wrote on Twitter, announcing that Massa would appear on his show Tuesday night. "Agree or disagree — YOU decide if there is truth in his story."
The anticipation was almost too much to bear.
"Beck's idea was to give over an entire hour of his show to a man who just a day earlier seemed poised on revealing the dark, secret, inner workings of the whole socialist conspiracy running the country — a man who knew where the bodies were buried, and now on live TV, he was going to name names," The Nation's Chris Hayes said on MSNBC. "But then things did not go quite as Beck had hoped."
No, they did not.
"The more Beck struggled, the clearer it became that he was opening Al Capone's vault only to find some dog-eared ,well-combed over old men's fitness magazines," was the way Jon Stewart gleefully described it on "The Daily Show."
At the end of the show, after Massa's rambling, at times bizarre, answers, Beck declared to the camera: "America, I'm gonna shoot straight with you. I think I've wasted your time. I have wasted an hour of your time. And I apologize for that."
Stewart suggested that Beck had a new sign-off phrase right up there with Edward R. Murrow's "Good night and good luck."
"It was funny to see the conservatives all jump on the bandwagon when he said 'I was forced out because I was the final vote,'" "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace said Friday, "and then they get a load of what this guy's saying and say, 'Well, no, no, no, forget Eric Massa. No, forget about him.' Suddenly, they weren't so interested in him."
What followed was a rare moment of cable news bipartisanship, with both left and right commentators agreeing that Massa has some serious issues. "Countdown" guest host Lawrence O'Donnell, for one, dubbed Massa the "craziest man in the Congress."
Left and right also found common cause in sophomoric and borderline homophobic mocking of gays. The Massa mess led to countless punch lines involving tickle fights and groping, with MSNBC's "Morning Joe" crew seeming to never get enough jokes or passing up the opportunity to play The Village People's "In the Navy" in honor of Massa's former career as a Navy officer.
