Exciting stuff eh? Right. Gordon Bennet is it February already!?? Where did that go then? One minute I'm up to my ears in mince pies, Christmas puddings and tasty morsels, next thing I'm 2 stone over weight with another excercise machine to hang my ironing off and owing Richard Branson and small fortune...scary!!
Speaking of which (no,she'll love that), the bezzie has once again dragged me kicking n sulking into the 21st century and set me up with a Facebook fan page thing.
Now it's been a scary ride for me so far, bit like most of our trips out together really, and now she's had enough of me sitting in the back shouting directions and has shoved me in the driving seat with a "Well you effin' do it then!"...bless
So there I am all sweaty paws, clinging on for dear life with my nose pressed up against the windscreen. I am currently still in first gear and bunny hopping along the internet but I've got plans..oh yes...and hopefully will be crunching it into second soon but in the meantime come on over and friend me up..

Right! Talking of hopping along...(oo I do love a tenuous link) wanna see my latest?
A big old leapy flea!
You got fleas (no offence), grafitti and a couple of wee characters from day's of yore

See Mr. Flea preparing to leap off the canvas leaving a watercoloury trail and a blimming great bite in his wake!
Watercoloury in shades of golds, purples, blues and lilac's with big dribbly splashes of scarlet and crimsons...lunch maybe?!
Hand embroidered grafitti in a positive rainbow of stitches in a variety of silks, cottons and metallic threads for added bling!
There's Zebedee, my favourite character from The Magic Roundabout, with his whiskery tash and snappy bow tie, wobbling around on his spring
There's Space Hopper...one of the more annoying toys from my 70's childhood, mainly cos the folks got sick of carting me and it up to the local garage/air pump to re-inflate it...ah heady, dangerous days :)
Pinging off in all directions are lots of hand stitchy springs, flowers, glass beads and tiddly black French knot fleas...ooo itchy!

Tour director no longer considers Armstrong winner
PARIS (AP) — Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme no longer considers Lance Armstrong a seven-time winner of the world's most prestigious cycling race, one which now hopes to finally shake off years of doping scandals.
Speaking shortly after cycling's governing body ratified the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's decision to strip Armstrong of his seven Tour titles, Prudhomme welcomed the decision, reiterating his belief that there should be no new champions declared for the seven Tours that Armstrong had won.
"It's without surprise that we received today's news, it's totally logical. Lance Armstrong is no longer the winner of the Tour de France from 1999-2005," Prudhomme said at the Paris headquarters of ASO, which owns the race. "We wish that there is no winner for this period. For us, very clearly, the titles should remain blank. Effectively, we wish for these years to remain without winners."
Armstrong also finished third in the 2009 Tour in his comeback year, but the UCI has yet to say whether that podium place will be removed.
"In all logic, everything must disappear," Prudhomme said. "This is the story of a real talent who lost his way."
American rider Floyd Landis and Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador were stripped of their Tour titles in 2006 and 2010, respectively, for doping infractions, and their titles were given to Oscar Pereiro and Andy Schleck.
USADA, which published a damning 200-page report packed with testimonies from several of Armstrong's former teammates on the U.S. Postal team, says all of Armstrong's results dating back to August 1998 should be removed. The UCI was expected to meet Friday to further discuss what to do with the podium places from Armstrong's seven Tour wins, notably whether to move other riders up, the 2009 podium spot, and other race wins during his long career.
USADA and witness testimonies from former Postal teammates such as George Hincapie, Jonathan Vaughters, Frankie Andreu and Levi Leipheimer placed the cancer survivor as the focal point of the doping that went on inside the team.
"It's the system that's especially to blame," Prudhomme said. "We're in a mafia system that goes beyond doping and which goes beyond the name of sport ... this time it's a global crisis. Armstrong's aura touches everyone, everywhere in the world."
Prudhomme was evasive when asked if ASO — whose newspaper L'Equipe published a damning report into Armstrong's use of EPO on the '99 Tour only days after he'd completed his seventh Tour win — regretted welcoming Armstrong back on the race in 2009.
"At the time, we said Armstrong could come back if he submitted himself to the same rules as everyone else," Prudhomme said, also citing the improvement in anti-doping controls when the Texan made his comeback.
Still, Prudhomme is optimistic that the UCI's ratification of USADA's findings is a massive step forward for cycling.
"It's through difficulty that you can build things," he said. "Today's cycling has already changed from the past, but of course the UCI must learn all the lessons from the Armstrong case and how we arrived at this point."
Prudhomme said Armstrong's prize money from the seven Tours should also be reimbursed.
"The UCI rules are clear: when a rider loses his title, he must reimburse his winnings," Prudhomme said. "We would have preferred that none of this had happened."
After overcoming his illness, Armstrong returned to the Tour in '99 — the year after the showcase race had been rocked by the Festina doping scandal, which began when a large haul of doping products were found in a Festina team car just before the start of the race.
Ever since, and until very recently, the race has been scarred by doping.
On the eve of the 2006 Tour, several riders — including '97 winner Jan Ullrich and Italian contender Ivan Basso — were thrown out of the race after being caught up in the Operation Puerto blood doping scandal.
The next two years were even tougher, with Alexandre Vinokourov testing positive for blood doping in 2007 and then-leader Michael Rasmussen thrown out while in the race leader's yellow jersey only days before the end for lying about missed tests.
Then came the CERA scandal in 2008, when Italian rider Riccardo Ricco and Austrian climbing specialist Bernhard Kohl were among four riders caught using an advanced form of the blood booster EPO.
Armstrong returned the following year — on the Astana team that Vinokourov had ridden for in 2007 — and finished third at the age of 37.
"Riders get caught and they are going to know with Armstrong that those who cheat will get caught sooner or later," Prudhomme said. "But once again, it shouldn't only be the rider, the winner, it should also be the entourage."

Boris Johnson leads tributes to Olympic Games volunteers
THE fountains in Trafalgar Square were turned bright pink and purple last night during a carol concert to honour the London Olympics volunteers.
Mayor Boris Johnson hailed the 8,000-strong team as the "beating heart of the Games".
Britain's Got Talent singers Jonathan and Charlotte joined the Centre for Young Musicians Concert Choir to perform for the 3,500 guests. During the celebration, the square's fountains were lit up in the colours of the Gamesmakers' and Olympic ambassadors' uniforms.
In his speech, Boris said: "Our fantastic volunteers were one of the great success stories of 2012 and proved to be the beating heart of the Games.

"These people were at the heart of it, they gave their heart and soul, they were fantastic. They really were magical, they changed the atmosphere – everybody commented on it, on the unexpected friendliness you don't normally associate with us Brits."
Following their success as the welcoming face of the 2012 Olympics, volunteers could be brought in to manage events like the New Year's Eve fireworks display.

|2,700 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
The Main Floor has an open plan kitchen, dining room and family room opening onto a large porch with outdoor living at its best. Granite counters, stainless appliances, and bar seating in the kitchen. Queen bedroom and bath on the main floor, while the Master Bedroom is on the second floor containing a king bed and en suite bathroom - jacuzzi tub and marble counter tops. The second floor also has a queen bedroom with en suite bath and yet another family living area with large TV, laundry room, and wet bar. There are two porches off the second floor with spectacular views across the marsh of the ocean and the Harbor River. Great view of the osprey nest, too! The third floor has two bedrooms each with a set of twin beds. These bedrooms share a bath and a television. Designer finishes through-out. The golf cart - Old Blue - can whisk you away down the road to the beach and the pool. In addition, bikes are available for rent at the pool and are a great way to explore.
Our home is one of the Causeway Cottages located just over the first bridge and across from the crabbing dock. The beach and the pool are a short walk. The golf cart and bikes allow access to the beach in a few minutes.
Our family vacationed on Harbor in 2005 and left as homeowners. Currently, we aren't able to visit as often as we like and decided to open our home for others to enjoy.
John Berggren purchased this cottage in 2005
Harbor Island is a peaceful respite for families to spend time together enjoying the outdoors. It's reminiscent of times past.
When looking at homes to purchase, we fell in love with the spectacular views from the porches of 71 Harbor Drive and never tire of the incredible beauty of the marsh and the low country.
John Berggren's home was absolutely beautiful and very clean, the beds were very comfortable and the view was gorgeous. Thank you John for everything you supplied.
Loved our family Christmas on Harbor Island. The house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, and the views are just breathtaking! Looking forward to visiting again soon!
Our son graduated from Marine Bootcamp, Parris Island. Our experience was wonderful and John was very accommodating . The house was comfortable and amenities were not lacking! The house was close to Parris Islsnd- 25 minutes. Pool on the property and the Hunting Island beach was less than 10 min.
It was beautiful and memorable.
My family and friends have several years of enjoying a summer "stay-cation" on Harbor Island. This is by far the preferred home for our majority! The main floor is open with a good design for flow around the kitchen and porches. The large table and seats at the kitchen bar allow for the comfortable and simultaneous feeding for at least twelve (eight at the table, four at the bar). Plus, there is a table for four lucky ones on the porch. You will find the causeway breezes consistent and phenomenal! Off one side, you can relax and enjoy coffee while looking over the creek and marsh to the Harbor River sound. To the opposite direction one can enjoy a view of the Osprey nest, Hunting Island and the Atlantic Ocean. The layout of the home allows for the enjoyment of gathering with others, yet there are a variety of nooks and tuck-aways that makes this home also accommodating to those who desire a time of solitude or quietude. The owners are very responsive. Their love and affection of this home and Harbor is apparent in the care and maintenance they put into this residence. We look forward to enjoying more time at our favorite stay-cation home away from home!
This was our sixth trip to Harbor Island. We have stayed in 4 different houses and 2 different condos. This house was hands down the best house. The views are spectacular. Not may places on the island provide you with beautiful marsh and river views and a lovely ocean view. The porches on this house are amazing. Perfect for watching shrimp boats, lounging on the couch with a good book, watching the sunset and star gazing. Even on the hottest days the breezes were amazing so that we were always able to enjoy them. The layout of the house is perfectly designed for adults, teenagers, and young children. The furnishings are lovely and very comfortable.
We were there with our two teenage nephews and our three young sons. The location of the crabbing dock was perfect. Many hours were spent checking the crab pot, searching for alligators in the creek (which we saw several times), and watching the osprey nest ( We had the thrill of seeing the babies take their first flight). The golf cart was perfect for exploring the island and evening sunset rides. The bikes were so great for the kids to have some freedom to ride around the island.
I hesitate to recommend this amazing house for purely selfish reasons because this house will always be our first choice when we return to Harbor Island!
We enjoyed our week at your beautiful home.The owner has furnished it with comfy couches and even left spices on the counter and dressings in the frig! You could tell it is used by mostly family and well taken care of. We have five kids in their teens who had a wonderful time. They especially loved tooling around the island on the golf cart. The ocean is a pretty good walk from the house, but the golf cart made it easy. We would definitely stay here again.
Harbor Island is a gated community with no commercial development built around the vast marshes and three and a half miles of a beautiful constantly changing beach. The Beach and Racquet Club has an adult pool, baby pool (18' deep), playground, small exercise room, beach volleyball court, tennis, and basketball courts. There are
views of the ocean and St. Helena Sound across the marsh from both decks, kitchen and master bedroom. Our home has an open plan living/dining room and kitchen, decks and rocking chairs on two floors, open, airy and bright! The house is a short walk or bike ride to the beach and pool. There is a golf cart available to explore the island or drive to the beach or Beach Club.
Harbor Island is about 15 miles outside of Beaufort, SC - a beautiful quiet historic town filled with restaurants and quaint shops. The Chocolate Tree is not to be missed. Savannah is about an hour drive, Charleston is about an hour and 45 minute drive, and Hilton Head Outlets are about 45 minutes away for day trips. However, you won't want to leave the peaceful quiet of Harbor Island.

LONDON (Reuters) - Vodafone faces a battle for Germany's largest cable company, Kabel Deutschland, although rival bidder Liberty Global of the United States has bigger regulatory and funding hurdles to overcome.
Liberty Global, which owns Unity Media, Germany's second biggest cable operator, joined the race on Tuesday. It tabled an 85 euro a share offer, according to a person familiar with the matter, days after the British mobile company said it was in talks about a deal.
Vodafone wants to buy the cable company so that it can offer TV, fixed line and broadband to more of its mobile customers, while Liberty Global wants more consolidation in one of its best performing markets. Vodafone offered about 81-82 euros a share in cash, sources said last week.
Shares in Kabel Deutschland were trading 3.8 percent higher at 85.6 euros by 9.10 a.m. British time, valuing the group's equity at 7.56 billion euros (6.4 billion pounds).
A Liberty Global deal would be closely scrutinised by German anti-trust authorities, a hurdle recognised by Liberty Global's chief financial officer Charles Bracken last week.
He told a Goldman Sachs cable conference on June 12 that while the industrial logic for consolidation in Germany was compelling, regulatory opposition remained a significant barrier to any deal in the near future, the bank said in a note.
Germany's competition regulator in February blocked Kabel Deutschland's bid to take over smaller Berlin-based cable group Telecolumbus for 618 million euros.
A source familiar with the situation said Liberty has already talked to German antitrust office to discuss the deal, but declined to elaborate.
Liberty Global customers in Germany are in the densely populated German state of North Rhine-Westphalia as well as in Hesse and Baden-Wuerttemberg, while Kabel Deutschland is active in the rest of Germany.
Liberty Global's Unity Media Kabel BW and Kabel Deutschland hold about 15 percent of the German broadband market. With cheaper prices and higher speeds, they have been winning customers from Deutsche Telekom, which still has more than 40 percent of the market.
Vodafone holds roughly 12 percent of the German broadband market, and rents wholesale capacity from Deutsche Telekom to provide the service to customers.
A source familiar with the situation said Kabel Deutschland had requested binding bids in two weeks. The ability of the bidders to fund a deal would also be considered, the source added, pointing to concerns about Liberty's finances given its recent deal-making.
Liberty, which is owned by U.S. tycoon John Malone, bought Virgin Media in Britain for about $15.75 billion in February and a 13 percent stake in Ziggo in the Netherlands for 633 million euros ($844.9 million) in March.
For its part, Vodafone can finance the offer since its leverage is lower than telecom peers. But ratings agency Fitch said that the group would be downgraded by one notch if it acquired Kabel Deutschland without taking other measures to reduce debt.
Analysts also said on Wednesday that Liberty would be able to reap fewer synergies from buying Kabel Deutschland than Vodafone, possibly hurting the price the U.S. group could offer.
Will Draper, an analyst at Espirito Santo Investment Bank, said for Liberty Global costs could be saved in areas such as billing, customer care, brand, content and R&D that would be worth as much as 8-10 euros per Kabel Deutschland share.
For Vodafone, synergies would be 16 euros per Kabel Deutschland share, stemming from moving its broadband customers in the Kabel Deutschland area onto the cable infrastructure.
"Other benefits which are harder to quantify are the potential for cross selling services and the defence of its mobile business against the possibility of a strengthened MVNO offer from Kabel Deutschland," he said.
Vodafone, Liberty Global and Kabel Deutschland declined to comment on Wednesday.

Cape basketball jumped out by 8 then gave back 7 to lead unbeaten Easton 30-29 at halftime Dec. 28 in the Governors Challenge at the Wicomico Civic Center.
Cape went on to lose 57-55 with leading scorer Jon Warren serving a two-game Christmas break time out for a discipline infraction.
"We almost stole the game and it would have been thievery," coach Steven Re said afterward. "The team played really well, obviously Gekwan [Pritchett] hitting five 3-pointers, but he can do that. Toney Floyd has also been playing much better and working hard in practice. "
With four minutes left in the fourth quarter, Cape trailed 49-41 then got back in it using the three-guard offense of Toney Floyd, Gekwan Pritchett and Tyreik Burton.
Toney Floyd converted a pass from Tyreik to cut the lead to 54-52 with 1:15 left.
Cape got possession on a jump ball. Burton took the ball to the basket and was called for an offensive foul. Easton converted a pair to lead 56-52.
Pritchett, pressed into a starting role with the benching of Jon Warren, followed with his fifth 3-pointer of the game and 19th point as Cape trailed 56-55 with 3.9 left in the game.
Cape then fouled; Easton made one to lead 57-55. Capem with 3 seconds on the clock, turned over the in-bounds pass as Easton prevailed 57-55.
Cape dropped to 5-2 on the season.
Gekwan Pritchett 19, Tyreik Burton 17 and Andrew Grau 8 paced the Vikings.
Easton featured balanced scoring from Jeter 13, Washington 11 and Pulley 11.
Cape came back Dec. 29 and got housed by C.H. Flowers of Prince George's County 54-38. Toney Floyd with 13 points was the only Viking in double figures.
"I wanted two games in the tournament against the best competition so we could learn something about ourselves and get ready for the conference schedule," Re said. "We will get 2 points toward the tournament from each of our losses. If we had played a weak team and won, we still would have gotten the same points. I want our kids to play against better people; that is how you learn."

Libor Kozak had put the visitors ahead in Turin after 19 minutes, sparking fears among home fans that what had looked set to be a celebratory night could take a turn for the worse.
However, the Azzurri scored twice in the space of four minutes - first Giorgio Chiellini, then Balotelli - to secure a spot in Brazil next summer.
Gianluigi Buffon equalled Fabio Cannavaro's all-time record of 136 caps as took his place in goal, while there were recalls for Balotelli and Riccardo Montolivo following their suspensions.
Michal Bilek made three changes to the side that suffered a shock defeat to Armenia on Friday.
Marek Suchy, Vaclav Prochazka and Vladimir Darida came in for Michal Kadlec, Josef Husbauer and Michael Rabusic.
Despite the hosts having the better of the opening exchanges, it was the visitors who broke the deadlock as Kozak fired home in the 19th minute following a swift counterattack.
The Aston Villa striker escaped the attentions of the Italian defence to meet Petr Jiracek's cross and guide the ball past Buffon.
Italy should have equalised six minutes later but Balotelli missed two fantastic chances from inside the penalty area.
His first struck the crossbar after a good strike from Emmanuele Giaccherini's cross, and he blazed his second over the bar after Cech had spilled a shot from the edge of the box.
All the home side's chances were falling to the Milan striker but he could not find a way past Cech.
When Andrea Pirlo floated a perfect cross towards the 23-year-old, he could only head straight at the Czech goalkeeper, who pushed the ball away.
Cesare Prandelli's side levelled six minutes into the second half through Chiellini. Cech missed his punch from a Pirlo corner and the Juventus defender rose unmarked to head into the empty goal.
And on their next attack they moved ahead as Balotelli was brought down in the penalty area by Gebre Selassie.
He picked himself up to calmly fire past Cech, sending the Chelsea goalkeeper the wrong way.
Italy had their visitors firmly under control and when substitute Daniel Kolar received a second yellow card for a poor challenge on Balotelli, the party was able to start.
They saw out the closing moments of the match comfortably to secure top place and seal qualification with two games remaining.

LED Staircase Lighting
Cool Idea: A Staircase Bathed in Light
Want an alternative to overhead pendants or wall sconces when lighting a hallway or staircase? Why not direct light where it's needed most — at floor level. This gorgeous staircase designed by MCM Design Studio uses direct and indirect LED lighting to highlight the stair treads and show off the beautiful, Swiss craftsmanship and sustainable wooden stairs. The home, a chalet located in a Swiss-Alpine resort, fuses Swiss craftsmanship and traditional materials with modern lighting; all of which is plainly reflected in this photo. In this staircase, the LED strips are hidden under the steps, adding a lightness and ethereal, hovering quality to the substantial wood. In other areas of the home, LED strips have been hidden on beams and placed on the bottom of the swimming pool to add further illumination. Additionally, the granite used in areas of the home takes on a thoroughly modern drama when lit up with blue, pink, or green LEDs. Both the chalet's interior and exterior lighting systems run on an automated system.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering about the eco cred for LED lighting, LEDs use 50 times less energy than regular incandescent bulbs and also have a very long lifespan. Beautiful and good for the environment? That's a win-win in my book.

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh insists it is not beyond the team's reach to win both drivers' and constructors' titles as the championship battle moves on to Brazil next weekend.
Lewis Hamilton lies a distant 21 points behind championship leader Fernando Alonso with two races remaining and McLaren are 27 points behind leaders Red Bull.
"If Formula One has taught us competitors one thing over the past couple of years, it's to never give up hope until the odds are no longer possible, and that the most unexpected outcome can become a very real and viable possibility sooner than you can readily imagine," said Whitmarsh.
"With that in mind, we go to Brazil, and then on to Abu Dhabi, still determined to wrest both world championships."
Whitmarsh knows what it takes to take the championship down to the wire after Hamilton snatched the title on the final corner of the final lap in dramatic circumstances in Brazil in 2008. And he said that Jenson Button still had his full support despite his slim title hopes.
"Lewis is well-placed in the drivers' championship. While Jenson lies 42 points adrift, he has vowed to fight on. As the reigning world champion, and a great driver, he knows better than most that you can't lift the title without being a resolute fighter. That's exactly why we hired him, and we'll be supporting him fully this weekend.
"As for the Constructors' Championship, we're only 27 points off the top spot - a very slender margin, and one that both Jenson and Lewis are convinced we can bridge by the time the chequered flag falls in Abu Dhabi."

SHERRI, go away!
sowwy, karalott, but we have to disagree sometime. :shrug
YES! I did not like Sherri, so glad she's gone. But can we give Val to Katherine now? Hate to see him go. Awww..she's crying. OK that makes me feel bad for her.
Sherri is gone!
I hereby eat my hat! :lol
Wow...she's devastated. This really was unexpected! I know I wanted this, but I feel bad for her...
Sherri and Val, out.
I did NOT think they were that bad!
You do NOT know how hard this moment is for Sherri! IT NEVER HAPPENED TO YOU!
I'm hurting FOR her.
To be on here really meant a lot to her. There is NO way she's faking her sadness.
I would've missed Chelsie, but I wouldn't've minded if Roshon had gone, pretty waltz or not.
Oh well, my faves are safe
Bye bye Sherri.
I was channel surfing to find something to keep me occupied for the next hour, and found a PBS show on the Titanic with LEN GOODMAN as the host. He used to be a welder in the London shipyards in the 1960s. I didn't know that!
Sorry, but I'm sort of glad Sherri's gone. She annoys me - though Val is pretty cute, I prefer Maks as eye candy.
I just can't believe I lost Val early again. And I worry Maks won't be long, either, especially with the dance off starting next week. I thought for sure he'd be around longer this season with Sherri. I'll miss her. I enjoyed her enthusiasm, as annoying as it was to others.
I am sorry to see her go because she was enjoying herself so much, but that was not a shocker like William would have been. Let's face it. She hasn't pulled really big scores, or looked like one of the judges' favorites to go all the way to the end. Katherine or even Donald would have been a much bigger shock. I think Tom's and Brook's ideas - and certainly the producers' ideas - of a shock are different from our idea of a shock.

Murder victim had been stabbed with screwdriver
A murder investigation is underway after 20-year-old man died from multiple stab wounds inflicted by a screwdriver.
Darren Roberts, who was from the Lisburn area, died in hospital after being attacked in his Co Antrim home town over the weekend.
The young victim was attacked on Millbrook Road in Lisburn shortly before 2am on Saturday following a disturbance.
A source close to the man's family told the Belfast Telegraph that he died after being stabbed five times by a screwdriver.
The fatal stabbing is understood to have occurred after a fight broke out between two groups of men.
The victim's parents were too distressed to speak about the incident yesterday.
An 18-year-old man also suffered a stab wound to his side, but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Three men, aged 20, 21 and 23, have been arrested and are helping police with their enquiries.
Sinn Fein MLA Paul Butler called for tighter controls on the sales of knives following Darren's death.
"I am appaled by the senseless and brutal attack on this man," he said.
"This vicious assault has left a family in Lisburn grieving.
"Those who carried out this attack must be condemned, their actions are totally reprehensible and can have no place in any society."
Mr Butler said legislation should be introduced as quickly as possible to ban the sale of most types of knives.
"These forms of attacks unfortunately are becoming more and more prevalent and those who carry out such attacks need to face the consequences of their actions to deter this type of crime," he added.
"These vicious assaults underline the seriousness of the problem facing the whole of the community regarding knife crime.
"The message that needs to goes out is that this type of activity will never be acceptable. My sympathy and thoughts are with this man's family at this time."
Alliance councillor Trevor Lunn slammed those who carry weapons with the intention to cause harm.
"I would like to voice my condemnation of people who carry knives or screwdrivers and turn fights into fatalities," he said.
Basil McCrea, Ulster Unionist MLA, said he had highlighted the 25% year-on-year rise in violent crime at a recent Policing Board meeting.
"The Chief Constable had undertaken to look into this and give us an explanation for this increase in violent crime at the next meeting," he said.
"Little did we know we would be dealing with another such incident so soon."
Mr McCrea extended his condolences to the man's family.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them on 0845 600 8000, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Design and fabrication of a flexible active RFID tag with sensor
|Huang, Jingyuan
|Issue Date
|Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a rapidly developing technology which uses radio frequency signals for automatic identification of objects. In this paper, a novel design of active RFID tag on a flexible PET substrate is introduced, which is light weight, small size and bendable. This tag includes an organic photovoltaic, a recharge lithium batteries and a gas sensor, in order to utilize sun energy and provide continuous gas monitoring/warning function. Better than other active RF tag based on printed circuit board structure, this tag is small in size, light in weight, and flexible in shape. It is environmentally friendly, as it uses renewable energy as power source and does not need to replace or deposit the battery. The technology of flexible thin film components are studied and modified due to the design requirements. The materials and geometric structures were selected and optimized based on theoretical analysis, finite element method (FEM) simulation, and experimental test, with considerations of the thermo-mechanical performance of the multilayer structure and electrical performance. Packaging methods were selected to satisfy its criteria including high performance, high reliability, low cost, short producing time, low assembly temperature, and environmental friendliness. The packaging methods are suitable for roll-to-roll printing technology, leading to high throughput and low manufacturing cost per unit. This research provides a systematic analysis of technology selection, material selection, structure design, processing optimization, and overall reliability evaluation for an active RTID on flexile substrate. Not limited to active RFID tags, this method also contributes to other multilayer flexible electronic designs.

LOS ANGELES, May 2 (UPI) -- U.S. broadcast networks interrupted their regularly scheduled programming Sunday night to air news coverage of Osama bin Laden's death.
President Barack Obama was scheduled to hold a news conference at 10:30 p.m. EDT Sunday but it was delayed until 11:35 p.m. Networks began pre-empting their programs, including the broadcast of "The Celebrity Apprentice" on NBC, to report ahead of confirmation that U.S. forces had killed bin Laden in Pakistan.
The Hollywood Reporter noted the interruption occurred one night after Obama teased "Apprentice" star Trump about his show and possible run for president in 2012 at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington.
The coincidence of Obama getting the best of Trump again was not lost on comedian and talk-show host Jimmy Fallon.
"Got Bin Laden AND interrupted Celebrity Apprentice? Win for Obama all around," Fallon joked via Twitter.
NBC said the episodes of "America's Next Great Restaurant" and "The Celebrity Apprentice" that were supposed to air Sunday night on the West Coast were made available in their entirety on NBC.com Monday.

City beset by injuries ahead of Stoke
David Silva is one of five Manchester City players who will sit out Saturday's trip to Stoke, leaving manager Manuel Pellegrini sweating if the Spaniard will be fit for next week's derby.
- Curtis: It's been emotional
- Mooney: The horror
But Pellegrini is optimistic captain Vincent Kompany could make a swifter-than-expected recovery from his groin injury and could be in contention to face Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Before then, City travel to the Britannia Stadium without four defenders as Gael Clichy, Micah Richards and new signing Martin Demichelis join Kompany on the sidelines.
Left-back Clichy has a minor knock, right-back Richards is yet to recover from the hamstring strain he suffered before the start of the season and centre-back Demichelis has a knee problem.
"Demichelis is a long injury," said Pellegrini, estimating he will be out for "six weeks".
There is better news of Kompany, who was hurt in the 4-0 league win over Newcastle in August.
Pellegrini added: "He needs two or three more days to be 100%. But I think it is a risk to play three matches in one week."
Playmaker Silva was hurt on international duty with Spain and Pellegrini hopes he can return in time to face Manchester United on September 22.
He said: "We will see next week but we will try for the derby. If he is 100% then he can play in that game."
Pellegrini faces a decision in attack whether to pick Alvaro Negredo, who has scored as a substitute in his last two games, or Edin Dzeko but the former Malaga manager is reluctant to divulge who he will select.
He said: "Alvaro Negredo is always a very important option. Edin Dzeko is exactly the same."

To privatize or not to privatize, that is the question.
Or is it?
Many of the activists hanging around Winnipeg City Hall say so. Their placards and stickers warn that a controversial city plan to partner with the private sector to upgrade and maintain Winnipeg's outdated water system is tantamount to selling off one of its most important assets.
Much more worrisome, they say, is that the Winnipeg water fight could be an early skirmish in a larger push to privatize and commodify water resources right across Canada.
"It may seem like a small decision - should the City of Winnipeg allow a public-private utility model - but it's part of a larger question that's being fought on the ground all over the world," said Maude Barlow, national chair for the Council of Canadians.
But advocates of the plan, which council will vote on Wednesday, scoff at the very mention of the P-word.
"Many people have thrown around that word, 'privatization,' " said Mayor Sam Katz. "But it has absolutely no basis in truth."
So what exactly is the water fight all about? For the past several weeks, residents have packed community meetings, scrutinized a business plan and crammed the gallery of City Hall trying to figure that out. It's proved a confusing endeavour.
The city needs to sink $1-billion into its water and waste infrastructure by 2012 to comply with new pollution rules imposed by the province, according to Mr. Katz. But he has found the customary process of putting mass public-works projects out to tender incredibly costly for the city.
"In the past when we've taken on this type of project, it's proved beyond our abilities to deal with it," he said. "And as a result, it's come in over-budget by a significant amount of money."
The mayor is endorsing a plan to split off the Water and Waste Department from the city and place it in an arm's-length corporation, much like some provincial Crown corporations, but with a major catch: The new utility would be a partnership between the city and a private-sector company.
The company would share the risk of construction financing and overruns. But that risk could come with a huge reward - the potential bonanza of expanding the utility to serve thirsty markets beyond city limits. Even before the business plan has passed, 15 companies have applied for consideration.
That expansion objective is just one aspect of the plan that has upset so many Winnipeggers.
"The focus seems to be solely on the money to be made from the sale of these services to exurban communities," said city councillor Jenny Gerbasi, who will submit a motion to delay the water vote until the fall.
During a session of the city's executive-policy committee last week, more than two dozen opponents voiced a slew of reasons to reject the plan, including a lack of transparency, reduced city-council oversight and the dearth of independent research that went into the proposal.
But the reigning grievance is the muddled language used in the proposal itself.
"It's very unclear," said Josh Brandon, a co-ordinator for Resource Conservation Manitoba. "What exactly are we signing on for?"
Even the mayor confesses that the public pitch has been vague.
"The wording was very confusing," he said. "I'll be the first to admit that."
Some opponents see a much broader issue in Winnipeg's water fight. Some 90 per cent of the country's water systems lie in municipal hands, and they fear conversion of Winnipeg to a private-sector partnership could set off a cascading effect across the country. Such a trend could create a continental market for water services.
"Who gets water and who doesn't would be determined by the market," said Ms. Barlow. "It would become just another commodity like electricity, running shoes or Coca-Cola."Report Typo/Error

I'm wondering how the hibernate paging working.
let's say I have a big result(10000 rows) need to be paged.there are functions like setFirstResult(0), setMaxResults(9) in hibernate,
hibernate will
1. only retrieve 10 rows from database, or
2. retrieve 10000 rows and put to a collection,then filter out first 10 rows from the collection.
if Hibernate use the 2nd way, it's still take time for each page even there is only few rows on each page
I use hibernate with Oracle,the genarated sql like:
select * from (
id ,
) where rownum <= ?
this is reasonable since Oracle has rownum.
what if others database(for ex. MS SQL server) doesn't have the similar function?
please explain.
thank you

Hibernate paging question[ Go to top ]
Hibernate will use either :
- Posted by: sf fgdf
- Posted on: October 05 2005 08:56 EDT
- in response to zhang zhang
- SQL possibility : like you see in Oracle (and in most database), Hibernate will generate SQL that do the paging.
- In a database without it, Hibernate will use a ScrollableResultSet to jump directly to the first result, iterate 10 times and returns.
- If your database is really dumb and don't support the two previous method, it will iterate all result until the first row asked.
But it you ask for the 10 first line, it will never iterator the remaining result.

TORONTO — Full-body scanners are already in some Canadian airports, and more are coming soon. The question for many observant Jews is whether these scanners create a halachic problem (one related to Jewish Law) for Jewish travellers.
Rabbi Reuven Bulka
That is, will these new security measures breach the laws of modesty observed by traditional Jews, both male and female? This may, in fact, be the case, some Canadian rabbis say.
Full-body scans use technology that provides a three-dimensional image of a person's body underneath the clothing. Transport Canada believes this "virtual strip search" technology will be less objectionable to the majority of Canadians than a physical search.
While those being scanned are not actively revealing themselves, "their dignity is being compromised," says Ottawa's Rabbi Reuven Bulka, a rabbinic emissary for Canadian Jewish Congress and an immediate past Congress co-president.
However, that dignity must always be balanced by what he sees as the government's "right and responsibility to do whatever is necessary in order to protect its citizens.
"It would be wrong for us as a matter of principle to stand in the way of what they're doing to protect the country," Rabbi Bulka says.
Several unanswered questions could resolve concerns, he adds. "Who exactly sees it? What exactly does it show?" Without obstructing security, travellers should always have the right to know the answers to those questions, and to "request that their screening be done by someone of the same gender."
"I don't understand what the whole fuss is about," says Rabbi Jay Kelman, founder of Toronto's Torah in Motion and a CJN columnist, particularly given the government's reassurances about the type of images that will be available. To save a life, it's permitted to violate almost every Torah prohibition, he says. "Adultery is an exception… [but] this is not adultery."
Rabbi Kelman does question whether full-body scanners are the best means of ensuring travellers' security. "Is this the most effective means of screening terrorists?"
Rabbi Bulka agrees that full-body scans may not be the most effective security measure. "There are people in Israel who have said… what you need is a full body check – you have to be able to have access to every single part of the body, including those we would consider off limits. So what do you do then?"
In that case, he says, the government has a responsibility to ensure that "a woman has the right to request that she be searched by another woman, and the same thing for a man."
Rabbi Chaim Strauchler of Toronto's Shaarei Shomayim Congregation says that "the paradigm of forbidden or permitted is probably the wrong paradigm. Technology is innocuous; it's how it's utilized that's the issue." He cites the examples of computers or cars: "The automobile isn't prohibited, [but] used improperly it can be a tool for death.
"There's an entire section of Talmud devoted to laws of privacy [the first chapter of tractate Bava Batra]," Rabbi Strauchler says. "Our tradition requires societies to build fences to prevent people from looking in on one another.
"Likewise, security is the greatest value when it comes to halachic decision-making: security and health [override] all other considerations save three."
So the only question for Rabbi Strauchler is the specific technology – "how it's employed to assure the best possible security, but at the same time doesn't compromise a person's privacy."
That might involve "finding ways to set up [security] people in locations where they would not see the person that's being scanned," not saving the files and images from the scans. "The system as a whole needs to be created in a way that prevents abuse.
"Halachah always has something to say," Rabbi Strauchler says, but he also believes the controversy of full-body scans should highlight an important personal issue, given the modern proliferation of information on the Internet and in other media – not all of it appropriate. "Each of us needs to think about what should we see, what should we not see, and decide the ways in which we expose ourselves or we don't."

SEATTLE — Former Seattle School Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson died Wednesday in Detroit at the age of 55.
A friend and colleague who directs the Council of the Great City Schools, Michael Casserly, told The Seattle Times that she was recently hospitalized with cancer.
Goodloe-Johnson led the Seattle School District for nearly four years until she was fired in March 2011 in a financial scandal involving a small-business contracting program. She later took a job with a Detroit school district.
Goodloe-Johnson previously headed the Charleston County School District in South Carolina.
One of her accomplishments in Seattle was negotiating a teachers' contract that included student performance in job evaluations.
The Seattle School District said she improved student academic achievement. The district extended condolences to her husband, Bruce, and daughter, Maya.

Good Samaritans helped a trapped family climb out of their second-story window to escape a fire in their Miami apartment Tuesday night, authorities said.
Miami Fire Rescue responded to the fire at 1955 Northwest 2nd Court just before 9:30 p.m., agency spokesman Lt. Ignatius Carroll said.
The mother, two children ages 4 and 6 and the mother's friend were inside the apartment when a fire started on the couch. The mother screamed for help outside the second-story window, and the Good Samaritans helped the family get out and helped to extinguish the flames, Carroll said.
"She said, 'Sir, please help me, my house is on fire,'" said Tommy Leverson, who responded to the mother's screams.
A neighbor who wanted to go by the name Ant said the woman was hanging halfway out her window while she was screaming for help.
"When I came back to the front door, everything over here was pretty much smoked out," he said. "You couldn't see nothing."
Around the corner, Leverson raced across the street from the laundromat to help. In seconds, he said he knew he had to ask that mother to make a difficult decision – to drop her kids to safety.
"I was gonna do whatever it takes to get those kids and that family out that house," Leverson said.
A second stranger stood by Leverson, both on the back of a truck to get closer to the window, to catch the children. The mother dropped the kids and then jumped herself to safety.
While officials have not released an official cause for the fire, neighbors said the family had been locked inside the house by a man identified as Raymond Lamar Johnson, whose record includes armed sexual battery and kidnapping.
"I see him, like, shooting down that alley," Ant said. "And I didn't think nothing of it."
Meanwhile, the mother and children remain unharmed with family members as groundskeepers clear out their burned belongings, which included the couch.
Leverson said he was happy he was in the right place at the right time.
"It was just a matter of God I just walked to my van, and I just heard (the screams)," he said.

Dell Latitude XT2 Review
By June 24, 2009reviewed
Tablet PCs have never taken the mass market by storm, but they still command enough of a niche following—about 7 percent of the laptop market, depending on who's counting—to keep the major PC makers dabbling in the category. The Dell Latitude XT2, the company's second-generation convertible tablet, delivers some welcome new features and a notably crisp, bright touch screen. Just be prepared to pay extra for the flexibility versus a standard notebook: The XT2 starts at $2,299, and that's with only 1GB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive. The more robust configuration we tested topped out at $2,767.
As with other models in Dell's Latitude family, the XT2 is a business-focused portable, though it could also be a fit for students that might make use of the screen's note-taking ability—as long as they can get past the XT2's subdued black-on-black styling. The machine's ability to capture digital signatures also makes it viable in real-estate and pharmaceutical sales, while the swiveling screen makes the XT2 a candidate for frequent presenters.
That 12.1-inch screen is the heart of the XT2 and is hands-down the best touch screen we've seen on a tablet. On many tablets, the required digitizer overlay robs some brightness and clarity from the screen. But the LED-backlit, 1,280x800-pixel panel on the XT2 is exceedingly bright and crisp, with vibrant colors that pop. It has a wide viewing angle, making it appropriate for presentations around a small conference table. And the panel fared particularly well with video playback, delivering well-saturated images with little motion blur. The single speaker delivers passable audio quality and sufficient volume, though a second speaker would help.
Swiveling the screen on the beefy center hinge and folding it flat against the keyboard puts the XT2 into tablet mode. You can use it in landscape mode, or press the button on the screen bezel to rotate the image for portrait mode. The screen has just the right sensitivity to use with a finger, filtering out stray light touches but not requiring you to press hard for actions you intended. It also supports gestures like so many smartphones these days: Swiping with two fingers scrolls the onscreen image, pinching together or spreading apart your fingers zooms in or out, spinning two spread fingers rotates the image. The XT2 also offers a programmable mode, where double tapping with two fingers executes a custom action (like putting the machine to sleep); and notably, the touch abilities can also be used with the XT2 in notebook mode.
We found the gesture response very quick and natural, and surprisingly accurate even with small Windows dialog-box selections. But if you prefer a stylus, the XT2 supports that, as well. An assortment of tips lets you customize the stylus to give you the feel of writing (though writing onscreen still can't match the feel of pen-on-paper), and the screen is smart enough to ignore your hand resting on the panel, so you don't have to hover your hand above the surface. As with all tablet PCs, the XT2 comes with the Windows Tablet PC Input Panel for adding notes to a Windows application or for tapping out text on the onscreen keyboard.
At 3.6 pounds, the XT2 is fairly comfortable to use as a tablet, though for long stretches you'll need to prop it on your lap. The machine is just an inch thick, which is half an inch thinner than the competing Toshiba Portégé M750—though we should note that the Toshiba entry includes a built-in optical drive. With the XT2, you have to make do with the included external drive or the optional Latitude XT2 Media Slice, which snaps onto the bottom and adds a modular bay and legacy ports. On the XT2 proper, you get two USB ports (including a USB/eSATA combo), VGA, LAN, FireWire, headphone, and mic, plus an SD-card slot and a PC Card slot.
The XT2's keyboard is a touch smaller than full size (18mm key pitch, versus 19mm) but still very usable. Crucially, the screen does not jiggle as you type (with normal pressure) as it does on some convertible tablets. The XT2 includes both a pointing stick and a touch pad, so businesses with users that prefer one or the other can please everyone. As for other features, you can choose from an assortment of Wi-Fi chipsets, add Bluetooth, and even select built-in HSDPA wireless broadband. Our configuration came with a 128GB solid-state drive (SSD) for crash-proof reliability—a reasonable $110 option over the standard 120GB hard drive (though it does include active protection that parks the hard drive heads should the machine sense it's falling). Dell also offers a high-speed 64GB SSD for $360.
In terms of performance, the XT2 fared typically for an ultraportable. The 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 and 3GB of RAM helped the machine deliver a respectable 3,043 on PCMark Vantage, which is in line with other ultraportables. The XT2 needed 11 minutes and 9 seconds to complete the Windows Media Encoder 9 test, and 7 minutes and 12 seconds for our iTunes encoding trial, both of which are slower than the averages for ultraportables if not alarmingly so. If it weren't for the exceptionally poor scores of the HP Pavilion dv2, however, the XT2 would have been dead last on these two tests. As expected, the integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD GPU is adequate for Windows, but not for gaming. We saw a score of 683 on 3DMark06 at 1,024x768, and an unplayable 6.6 frames per second (fps) on Company of Heroes at that resolution.
Battery life is more of a concern. The six-cell unit that came with our test unit lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes on our (admittedly harsh) DVD rundown test. Most other ultraportables deliver 3 hours or more on that test. Under more typical use, you can expect 3 to 4 hours of life, and Dell offers a nine-cell battery slice that the company says should get you to 11 hours of runtime in typical use when used in conjunction with the main six-cell battery, as long as you don't mind carrying the 1.4 pounds of extra heft. (A second regular battery might be a better option.) On the plus side, we love the handy battery-level indicator: Just press the icon, and a row of five LED indicators on the battery show you the remaining charge.
Dell backs the XT2 with a generous three-year warranty with next-business-day onsite service. That nicety no doubt adds to the machine's bottom line. In addition to Windows Vista Business (Vista Ultimate is an option), Dell includes CyberLink PowerDVD for DVD playback, Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 for CD and DVD creation, and the company's own management utilities (Dell Connection Manager, Dell Security Manager, and Dell System Manager).
Given the price, the XT2 isn't for users who think they might use the tablet functionality only occasionally. But if you're already a tablet aficionado and ready to step up to an improved next-generation model, the Latitude XT2 may be worth the splurge. The XT2 is pricier than the Portege M750, but it delivers a superior screen and better portability, if you leave the external optical drive out of the equation. The XT2 is priced more in line with the premium Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet and is very similar in size and weight. We slightly prefer the XT2's screen, but at the end of the day, that race comes down to whether you prefer a Latitide or a ThinkPad, for whatever reason.
Dell Latitude XT2
Our Verdict: The Dell Latitude XT2 costs more than a traditional 12.1-inch ultraportable, but for those who need a tablet PC and have wished for a no-compromises screen, it's worth every penny.

Earlier this week I sat in a room while Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop talked about the new Lumia phones and the company's ambition to establish Microsoft Windows as the third smartphone "eco-system". All I could think was, "Oh, how the mighty have fallen."
Nokia's Lumia 920 and its smaller sidekick, the Lumia 820, are hitting the Australian market now after supply constraints late last year. The phones run Windows 8. The 920, which sells for more than $800 as an outright purchase, has high-end navigation and photography among its flagship features. I had the opportunity to test it over the weekend and it's a nice phone – though it was striking how much bigger and heavier it than my last Nokia some years ago. Of course, increasing size is a trend with all smartphones. Remember the days when phones competed to be small?
When I started in technology journalism in the late 1990s, Nokia was king of the mobile phone market. At its peak, it had a market share of 40 per cent – that is, two out of every five mobile phones sold was a Nokia handset.
A lot has changed since then. The first iPhone debuted five years ago and disrupted the entire market. The open-source alternative, Android, started to take off two years later. Android was adopted by manufacturers around the world, notably Samsung and HTC, and is now the No. 1 smartphone operating system in terms of market penetration.
The Windows smartphone platform and BlackBerry are now fighting for third place. BlackBerry, which created the original smartphone, is equally determined to take the bronze prize, and last week the company announced its new BlackBerry 10 operating system and phones.
Elop doesn't rate the competition. About BlackBerry, he says: "When a business person or a consumer is purchasing a smartphone today, what they are actually buying is much more than what you see in your hand. They're certainly buying the hardware, they're buying the operating system, but they're also buying the full range of applications that may be available for the device. They're buying all of the cloud-based services that are required to make this a complete experience. So mapping, navigation, music, entertainment, unified communications, office productivity, on and on and on and on."
While BlackBerry offers the ability to port Android apps to the platform, Elop says this strategy doesn't take you very far in practice because it covers only apps that align with a certain screen size and don't connect to Google services.
Elop raised eyebrows when he joined Finland-based Nokia from Microsoft in 2010 and then abandoned the Symbian platform in favour of Windows for its high-end devices. (Nokia does support other platforms in the lower-price bands, such as Asha.)
Elop made the assessment that Nokia didn't have the capacity to turn the Symbian into a third eco-system – phone, hardware, operating system, third-party apps and cloud-based services. The decision then boiled down to whether Nokia should go with Windows or Android. One problem with Android was that it required the adoption of Google Maps, which competes with Nokia's intellectual property in mapping and satellite navigation systems. The other problem was whether Nokia could make up for lost time on Android.
"The opportunity for differentiation and also the importance that Microsoft attached to having major partner like ourselves go in the direction of Windows Phone, where everyone else had gone in the Android direction, made it possible to structure a relationship that we saw as advantageous to ourselves," Elop told reporters in Sydney on Monday.
"On the Android side, we were very worried that, because we would be entering late relative to everyone else in the industry, that perhaps one vendor was well on the road to becoming the dominant Android vendor at the expense of everybody else.
"If you look back two years to when we made the decision, Samsung was big, HTC was pretty big, Motorola was pretty big. And of course what's happened in the [past] two years, Samsung has captured the lion's share but the others have been squeezed down to very small market share even though they started with much larger. So we were worried about exactly that pattern forming and whether we would be able to break through with that. We thought we had a much better chance with Windows Phone and we believe that will be proven to be true."
All this may well be true, but it's not a situation that Nokia should have been in the first place. It speaks to the opportunities that Nokia squandered before Elop's time. It would take cultural renewal and more than a bit of luck to recover.
Elop thinks it's possible, if the corporate culture ensures that staff are accountable for performance, move with urgency, and listen to consumers and operators.
"When I talked to employees and talk about the attitudes and behaviours that are important to be successful in the future I talk very much about maintaining a challenger mindset," he says. "We have to operate as the challenger, not as the big strong one as the past, but as the challenger mindset."
Elop has put in place measures to encourage innovation, such as a recent Hackathon that resulted in software that lets you print a cover for the Lumia 820 using a 3D printer.
"In the past there were similar programs but part of this as well, I think, comes from a tone at the top. So I'm an engineer and I love the products, I love working with the products. When I visit our various research facilities all around the world I'm right in the labs with the engineers poking, prodding, asking questions."
If he is right, Nokia may well establish itself as the dominant player in the third most popular smartphone platform. The question is whether it can hope for anything more.
The story of Apple's rise and fall and rise shows that the disruptors can come from anywhere. They are as likely to be long-term players that reinvent themselves as newcomers. It's entirely possible that Nokia, or another existing player, could disrupt the still-emerging mobile market in the coming decade. But I wouldn't put money on it. Would you?

In the end, cooler heads prevailed when it came to the state of Tomas Kaberle's noggin.
Despite his desire to return to action against the New Jersey Devils last night, the healing Maple Leafs defenceman now has delayed his comeback until Friday against the Buffalo Sabres at the HSBC Arena, at the earliest.
Kaberle, who suffered a concussion against those same Devils on March 2, will undergo one more significant medical test in the coming days. Should he pass that, as expected, both Kaberle and Leafs officials are targeting the Sabres tilt.
Asked if the ultimate decision to delay the comeback was made by the doctors or by himself, Kaberle replied "Both."
"It's difficult, but I think a few more days might be best for me," Kaberle said. "It's tough when you have a head injury. I don't want to play one or two games, then not feel good again."
Kaberle did make an unsuccessful attempt to talk team officials into letting him play.
"It's for the best," he said. "At least I've been feeling better and better every time out."
Kaberle was one of the last players at the Leafs morning skate and wore a huge smile after.
"He's getting better every day," coach Paul Maurice said. "I know how much he would have liked to play but he hasn't been cleared yet."
Kaberle suffered his first career concussion when he absorbed a late hit from the Devils' Cam Janssen, who was suspended three games for the cheap shot.
Janssen, meanwhile, did play last night and exchanged fisticuffs with the Leafs' Wade Belak midway through the first period.
Kaberle has missed eight games since the Janssen incident.
