YOHAN CABAYE has urged Newcastle United supporters not to blame Alan Pardew for the Frenchman's costly second- half withdrawal during the defeat to Reading.
Moments after the Royals had grabbed an equaliser through Adam le Fondre at St James' Park, Pardew instructed fourth official Mark Halsey to hold up Cabaye's number to allow the more defensively- minded Gael Bigirimana to enter the action.
It was a decision which infuriated the Newcastle supporters, just ten minutes after they had made their disgust known when attacking midfielder Sylvain Marveaux was withdrawn to allow holding midfielder James Perch to come on.

The two decisions proved more costly after le Fondre had grabbed a second, with Newcastle short of alternative creative midfield options.
Pardew admitted afterwards it was a mistake to take Marveaux off when he did, but Cabaye was keen to put the record straight after his first start since November 4.
"I asked to come off because my groin became tight," said Cabaye, whose return to action as a substitute at Norwich a week earlier was sooner than expected after hernia surgery.
"I didn't want to take any risks on my first start for so long. The pitch was very heavy. I think it was the right decision for me.
"The fans were very angry but they did not realise I needed to come off. They should not blame the manager for that. It was my decision. I was also feeling tired.
"You cannot expect a player to be 100 per cent in my situation.
I was not fit enough to finish the game. That was why I came off. It is unfair to blame the manager when it was me who made the decision.
"I was afraid about my groin. I have come back from surgery and did not want to get pain again. I am not worried now because I came off. I think I will be alright for the weeks ahead."
With a trip to the team immediately below them, Aston Villa, next up for Newcastle on Tuesday week before dates with Chelsea and Tottenham, Newcastle could ill-afford to have Cabaye out for the long term again.
The 27-year-old has had to watch from the sidelines as the Magpies have dropped alarmingly down the Premier League table – to within two points of the bottom three – in his absence. He admits the atmosphere in the dressing room has changed.
"The confidence is a lot lower to what it was when I was last in it," he said. "There is a difference. It is low. That means we need to stick together to keep our heads up because we are in bad position.
"We must stay calm because there are a lot of games still to play. We must work hard and fight every week to get the points we need to stay in the Premier League. That is what is most important."
"The fans were behind us from the start, but it is up to the players, we are the ones on the pitch who have to do it for this club.
"The results have not been good enough. We have had a lot of injuries. There is still quality in this squad. We lost Demba Ba, he was a big player for us. Now we just need to get some impetus to get us going."

Hospitals to Senate: Medicare not a piggybank for other programs
AHA News Now
Jan 13, 2014
The AHA and seven other national hospital organizations today urged senators to strongly oppose a proposal to cut funding for seniors' Medicare to pay for extended unemployment benefits. "While we do not oppose the extension of these benefits, we do oppose using Medicare reductions to pay for non-Medicare related spending," the groups wrote. "Medicare has been cut time and time again – most recently under the budget agreement signed into law just weeks ago. Medicare is meant to assure seniors access to needed medical care, not serve as a piggybank for other programs. It is bad policy to further extend Medicare sequester cuts that could undermine care for seniors. Hospitals already face $113 billion in cuts that have been imposed over the last three years at a time of enormous change and challenges. We urge you to reject this proposal, which will jeopardize health services for seniors." The Coalition to Protect America's Health Care is running ads with a similar message online in The Hill and Washington Post. AHA is a founding member of the coalition, a broad-based group of hospitals, businesses and national, state and local hospital associations.

Rockland — A 55-year-old Jefferson man accused of molesting a female victim during a period of six years made an initial appearance in Sixth District Court April 4.
Darrell Crosby was arrested April 1 and charged with one count of unlawful sexual contact and one count of unlawful sexual touching after the victim told her mother she had been abused, said court papers.
Crosby is charged for assaults that are said to have occurred in 2006, according to the affidavit. He could face up to nearly 11 years in prison for the offenses.
Bail was set at $10,000 cash with conditions he have no contact with the victim, the victim's immediate family, and children younger than 16.
The offenses stopped in February 2011, according to an affidavit filed in Knox County Superior Court. The victim told Knox County Sheriff's Detective Justin Twitchell she was 4 years old when the abuse began, said the affidavit.
When interviewed by police, Crosby said he was sexually abused as a child, and that he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and depression. He denied the allegations of abuse, and said he could never put somebody else through what he endured as a child, said the affidavit.
Crosby initially agreed to take a polygraph examination, but did not show up on the date it was scheduled, said the affidavit.
Crosby later told police sexual acts did occur between himself and the victim, but said she had targeted and attacked him, starting when she was 6 years old. When asked further questions, he told police he would not answer more questions until he spoke with an attorney, said court papers.
Crosby will be appear in court again June 25.

Mortgage rates rose for a second week, extending an increase in borrowing costs from an eight-month low.
The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 4.2% this week, up from 4.14%, Freddie Mac said in a statement today. The average 15-year rate climbed to 3.31% from 3.23%, according to the McLean, Va.-based mortgage-finance company.
Homebuyers got a temporary reprieve when rates unexpectedly dropped for five straight weeks beginning in early May. Economists expect loan costs to climb in the second half of the year as the Federal Reserve continues scaling back bond purchases that have helped support housing demand. Policy makers next meet on June 17-18.
"Mortgage rates have confounded expectations by falling in the face of a strengthening economy this spring," Keith Gumbinger, vice president of HSH.com, a Riverdale, N.J.-based mortgage-data firm, said yesterday in a telephone interview. "But now it would seem that interest rates are behaving a little more normally."
Lower rates spurred an increase in loan applications, data from the Mortgage Bankers Association showed yesterday. In the week through June 6, the group's purchase index rose 9.3%, the biggest gain since late February, and the refinancing measure increased 11%.
The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage reached a high of 4.58% in August. A year ago, it was 3.98%.

Beckham excited about new season
David Beckham has spoken of his excitement about the season ahead as LA Galaxy prepare to begin the defence of their MLS title at home to Real Salt Lake.
• CONCACAF Champions League review
The Galaxy returned to competitive action with a 2-2 draw at Toronto FC in the CONCACAF Champions League in midweek and Beckham, who signed a new two-year deal to remain at the Galaxy in January, is now excited about Saturday's home game in the MLS.
"It's nice to open up at home against anyone but obviously Salt Lake are one of the best teams in the league," Beckham said. "We are excited about the game and excited to be back at home and excited to go into this season as champions."
Beckham, 36, had been a target for big-spending Paris St Germain before committing his future to the Galaxy, and team-mate Landon Donovan is delighted he has agreed to stay.
"We are all very excited and maybe a little surprised that David stayed," Donovan said. "We are very excited that he wanted to stay here and be a part of this team and I think there is no question what he has meant to our team and his contribution, particularly last year, was vital and very important for us winning the championship.
"I know we all want the same thing again and I am glad he is here to be a part of it."

Seamus Heaney: United in grief as village prepares to bid farewell to one of their own
Seamus – For digging, thank-you', reads an anonymous card at the gates of Bellaghy Parish cemetery. The sympathy card lay on the grass, beside a small bunch of red carnations, not far from the late poet's family grave.
Signs of Seamus Heaney are all over the south Derry village of his childhood. The cast iron man bending over his spade greets people as they enter, a sculpture inspired by Digging, one of his most famous poems.
Yards down the road, a steady stream of people pulled up to the Old School Centre yesterday to leave their their final words for the late Nobel Laureate.
"You always remembered where you came from," Dolores Mulholland wrote in a book of condolences.
"Thank-you for speaking and writing so beautifully about this lovely townland and for making Bellaghy people so proud of you," Bronagh Currie added in the black book, which was placed under a framed photograph of the poet.
"What a loss for Bellaghy and Ireland. Your legacy will live on for years to come," another couple penned.
Others spoke on a more personal note.
"You will always be remembered in our house and thanks for your help to our family over the years. Be happy in heaven," the McKenna family wrote.
Adrian Diamond remembered Heaney's Hailstones, which mentioned Diamond's grandfather. "True legend," he added.
The same traits were mentioned by people in Bellaghy.
"You were 'the giver'. Remembered with love and gratitude," one villager said.
"He was a gracious, lovely man," Mary, a family friend from Bellaghy, said.
"I was privileged to know him. He was a very gentle man. He was always the same, he never forgot where he came from. He was just gracious and humane.
"I have been struggling to keep back the tears over the last three days and I don't know why. Everybody is so proud of him here.
"You felt you knew him and he knew you."
Another woman from the village, who did not want to be named, said: "We are honoured that he came from Bellaghy and wrote a lot about Bellaghy and all of us read his poems.
"He came to the school I work in for a book signing and he was so down-to-earth and lovely."
Erin Mullan (13) left her poem beside the book of condolences, which reworked Heaney's Digging from his late father's point of view.
"As I turn the soil I wonder about our son, Our Seamus, I wish and pray he will have a life he will enjoy," the Year 9 pupil wrote.
Erin's mother Saoirse said: "I went to Anahorish Primary School (which Heaney attended) and my children did too.
"We all did his poems. It was everything about Seamus. He was a very humble person and his work was about Bellaghy and the outlying areas.
"There was total shock here on Friday, total disbelief."
The poet laureate had been due to attend a poetry weekend in nearby Magherafelt.
He will be buried in his family's plot at St Mary's cemetery in Bellaghy today, following a funeral Mass in Donnybrook, Dublin.
A book of condolences will open at Queen's University this morning.
People gathered at the Heaney family's grave on a gusty September afternoon yesterday.
"He was a gentle man and a great ambassador," a villager said.
"Bellaghy over the years was brought into the news for all the wrong reasons but Seamus brought it into the news for all the right reasons.
"I have travelled the world and people knew about him. I knew a man who worked for the company I worked for – he was from South Carolina but he was Nordic. His son put Seamus' poetry to Nordic rhyme."
He added: "I knew Seamus' father, Paddy. It was no surprise that he turned out the way he has because his father, Paddy, had a great turn of phrase. If something was happening in the area that was a topic of conversation, he could sum it up in a couple of lines."

Lacuna Coil's Comalies a perfect example of women taking place in metal. Cristina Scabbia is one of metal's female icons, with her incredibly high range voice; she definitely is a metal goddess. Lacuna Coil was the first band, that had a female as vocalist, that I ever listened too. And I was not disappointed at all when I first heard this album. The moment the first song begins, I was blown away by Cristina's capability of reaching those high notes. Not only did Cristina have nice vocals on Swamped, I enjoyed the Andrea's vocals too. A bit more growls would have been appreciated, but the song was well executed.
There is the eternal debate (as for many bands) about classifying this band. It is agreed that it is gothic metal, however, as seen on Comalies, Lacuna Coil's sound sounds a little popish. Some compare this band to Evanescence, I would not go as far as saying that they play the same genre of music, but I agree that they do have a little of pop influences. Nonetheless, Lacuna Coil is an awesome band and Comalies is a solid album. The heavy guitar riffs mixed with Cristina's clear vocals renders the songs amazing. There is also a nice and slow song on the album: Aeon. It starts off with a nice acoustic riff on the guitar and there is a clean electric guitar riff that comes in not long after, which is great. Then there is something weird, the song jumps, the song was recorded as if the CD was jumping in the CD player. I don't know what that was about, but anyhow the song is still great.
There are a few tracks that really stand-out from others, such as: Swamped, Daylight Dancer and The Ghost Woman And The Hunter. Overall the album is great, there is not really a bad track, but the songs can get repetitive. Well I enjoyed it the first time I heard it and still enjoy it each time it plays. I give it 90/100, there are not many metal bands that have a female singer, but Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia does an excellent job.

John 5
December 15, 2004
John began playing at the age of seven after asking for a guitar for Christmas. His influences at the time included The Monkees, KISS (John cites Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley as very close friends) and Jimi Hendrix. At the age of 15, John was playing at a number of local clubs in the evening, relying on his supportive mom to get him up for school the next day.
At 18, John traveled to California to pursue a career as a professional session guitarist. Meeting producer Bob Marlette (Tracey Chapman, Rob Halford and Black Sabbath) was a turning point in John's career as he was introduced to other musicians. As a session guitarist, John worked on a number of different projects such as commercials, TV shows (Baywatch and Hard Copy) and a number of film soundtracks, including Speed 2. John's first major break came in 1990 when Lita Ford asked him to open up with her for childhood heroes KISS. A lifetime friendship developed from there.
"His influences at the time included The Monkees, KISS (John cites Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley as very close friends) and Jimi Hendrix. "
John began to work with a number of artists including John Wetton from Asia, Robin Zander, Wilson Philips, Rick Springfield and female rap trio, Salt N' Pepa.
At one stage, John tried out for legendary rocker, Ozzy Osbourne, as a temporary replacement for Zakk Wylde. Although he didn't make it, John hooked up with Ozzy's drummer, Randy Castillo, to work in his first band, "Red Square Black". He co - wrote all tracks on their debut album "Square".
Sadly "Red Square Black" was a short-lived project as John was selected from 2,000 guitarists to tour with Country and Western crooner, kd lang.
"Working with kd lang was great. She's an amazing artist." (GUITARIST MAGAZINE)
In 1996 after the departure of Daisy Berkowitz, John had his first audition for Marilyn Manson. However he was late for the deadline, and the job went to Mike Linton (Zim Zum).
John's next major break came when he teamed up with Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford for the industrial and classic rock influenced band "Two". The subsequent album, "Voyeurs", on which John played bass and guitar was produced by Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor.
"Working with Rob Halford was an amazing experience. He is a metal God." (GUITARPLAYER.COM)
His next major project came in 1998, when he worked with ex Van Halen frontman, David Lee Roth. "When I was little my dream was to play with David Lee Roth. One day I was sitting at my friends house and...I wonder what...Roth is doing now. I'm gonna call up his manager and see if he needs any songs." (GUITARIST MAGAZINE)
Being a fan of Van Halen, John was already familiar with the style of music. He submitted six songs and finding they suited, submitted further tracks to Roth's management. Eventually David and John met and recorded "The DLR Band" album in two weeks.
"I remember before we started he said, If you can't do it in two takes, you can't do it." (GUITARIST MAGAZINE)
After the recording of "Mechanical Animals", Marilyn Manson was again looking for a guitarist to replace Zim Zum who left the band in pursuit of a solo career. Again John went to try out for the band, of which he was already a huge fan.
"When I got home from the tour (touring with Rob Halford in Europe) Manson's manager called and asked if I would like to meet Manson for lunch...Then he asked me to join the band - right there." (GUITARPLAYER.COM)
Taking the moniker, John 5, he signed on for the Mechanical Animals tour and to work on the next album. John's first live performance for Marilyn Manson came on the MTV Video Music Awards.
After the turmoil of the tour, that had seen a media witch hunt of the band in light of 1999's tragic Columbine High School shootings, the band regrouped at Houdini's House in Laurel Canyon to work on the dark "Holywood". John wrote on all of the tracks on the album bringing forth some of the most memorable power chords ever heard on a Marilyn Manson album.
"Writing in Manson is like building a house. Manson is a phenomenal producer...His production knowledge is astounding..." (FENDER USA - MARCH 2004)
During this time John also appeared on several albums including the Jimi Hendrix tribute album "Hazy Days: Not a Jimi Hendrix Tribute" and worked with artists such as Garbage, and Maria Antonakos as well as co-writing on another David Lee Roth track, "Thug Pop". In 2002 Marilyn Manson saw another line-up change when bassist Twiggy Ramirez (Jeordie White) left to join James Maynard's "A Perfect Circle". John said of the time leading up to Twiggy's departure: "...I thought I started to see Twiggy unhappy around Ozzfest...But I know he is doing well now in A Perfect Circle...And we have Tim Skold on bass so everything's working out just fine." (TOTAL GUITAR - JULY 2003)
In 2003 after a long-standing relationship with Ibanez guitars, John released his first custom designed guitar - the John Lowery Signature Fender Telecaster. Guitarist Magazine called it " the sexiest new signature guitar on the market." " I showed it to the guys in Metallica and James Hetfield said, you got to get me one of those. It's cool when your friends love the guitar you did." (GUITARIST MAGAZINE)
2003 also saw the release of Marilyn Manson's next album and era "The Golden Age of Grotesque", influenced by the Weimar Republic and the Vaudeville movement. The band were once again headlining Ozzfest and touring the world. John also began to develop ideas for a solo project influenced by his love for Bluegrass music.
"I did actually get Ginger, our drummer, to play on a Bluegrass track I've recorded (Sweet Georgia Brown) but I still haven't really won the band over. They just don't like it." (GUITARIST MAGAZINE)In April 2004, Marilyn Manson.com announced the shocking departure of John from the band. " The band has decided to part ways with guitarist John 5 as recording sessions for the next album begin." (www.marilynmanson.com) For John this came as surprise for him also, but despite this he had nothing but praise for Manson. "I truly enjoyed my time with Manson and have the greatest respect for the incredible fans," says John. "I am grateful to have contributed over 2 dozen songs to his projects. It was a great creative outlet for me at that point in my career."(OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM JOHN AS SEEN ON JOHN5.COM) "I had a great run with Marilyn Manson. It was a lot of fun and it was a really great experience, but I've got a lot of other stuff going on. I'm busier now than I was on tour." (WWW.MTV.COM) And here we are today. John is now working on a solo album, titled "Vertigo" which will be released sometime in the fall. He has also been working with artists such as Avril Lavigne and Lisa Marie Presley. John has plans to put together a band, and has reopened his website, which allows fans to question the man on a wide range of topics.
But if John got the call from Manson, would he go back....? "I've never played with anyone like him, and even after everything, I think that guy is a genius. He's really incredible, and he's going to be around a long, long time."

I have never ordered an item from this company and had not even heard of them until they sent me a demand for payment in 2007. They claim that I ordered goods from them to an address in Scotland. I immediately rang them to inform them of their error and gave my actual details. I have never lived in Scotland and it seems that they just sent out demands to everyone with the same name as the person in Scotland who is on the electoral rolls. However they have done nothing with this information and actually passed on my details to a debt collection agency. I have been contacted by various collection companies over the last 4 years and have spent many hours explaining the error that studio have made. In the meantime I have also called studios customer service team and been told that they can not deal with the issue and referred me back to the debt collection agency. The debt collection agency have then referred me back to studio. In the meantime they have put a default on my credit agency record. Studio have just not been bothered that they have caused problems to a random member of the public. Shame on them.

Hey, I'm Daniel Cottingham, Founder Of Endorphic Studios, i recently aquired a Unity Pro key, Which i've been saving up for for, like, ever...(Lots of Mcdonalds work basically), And i'm just mind boggled at what this engine can do, so i would like you opinion of what type/genre of game i should make, i'm really just so mindstruck i can't think of an idea.
You can contact me on skype: Daniel.Cottingham50 and if you have the time, please like our facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/endorphicstudios
Thanks, Daniel Cottingham, Lead Programmer, Founder of Endorphic Studios
Hey Daniel,
Unity is an awesome and powerful, however it is really easy to get cought up in all its features if you are not clear about your goal (or game design in this case).
A while ago I was experimenting with unity and made a simple 3D tilt packman. It was fun. You may want to give it a try (just redesign all the rules!).
Cheers, Mohsen
Maybe it was better to create something with the free version first instead to spend so much time at Mcdonald's with the risk to spend more time on something it's not properly easy to use.
Not much that can be done about that now - he'd better learn to enjoy Unity.
@dazin09 - I, too, think it would be best to try something simple and small, like Mohsen advised. Just take something simple and change it slightly. For example, make a Tetris-like game, but instead of controlling the falling blocks, control a character that can jump around the play field and grab the blocks (I'm a fan of Wario's Woods). That is an interesting, somewhat game-changing mechanic that shouldn't take more than a few extra days to program in.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Crude oil prices settled under $88 per barrel Tuesday, easing back as Israel held off on launching a ground attack on the Gaza Strip.
Renewed tension between Israel and Hamas, which controls Gaza, jolted energy markets last week. It is possible the delayed attack could give way to a negotiated cease-fire, as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was headed to the Middle East to push for a truce.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices topped $89 per barrel overnight, but settled at $87.34 per barrel by close of trading. Reformulated blendstock gasoline added 3.75 cents from Monday to $2.75 per gallon. Home heating oil prices added 2.67 cents to $3.0659 per gallon.
Natural gas prices shed 0.6 cents to $3.826 per million British thermal units.
At the pump, the national average price of unleaded gasoline fell to $3.412 per gallon from Monday's $3.416, AAA said.

In the 1970 World Cup, Germany playing without Franz Beckenbauer (out with a dislocated shoulder) barely clung onto a Wolfgang Overath goal as the Celeste mounted attack after attack. How the Germans kept them out was a minor miracle in itself. Great, open ended game full of box to box action.

Review for Amanda Cares Inc, Wdm, IA, USA
This is a great non-profit that works hard to help children and families through their process of grief. It seems like every time I tell someone I volunteer for Amanda the Panda, they tell me how the organization has helped them or someone they know. The loss of a loved one is a difficult experience to deal with on your own, and Amanda the Panda has perfected their process of helping people cope.

:: Maryland Wine Legal History
University of Baltimore Law student, Lauren Dunnock, examined the
legality of Maryland wine shipping laws in 2007 and concluded that they
are probably a violation of the Dormant Commerce Clause. In her
analysis, Ms. Dunnock reviews the history of wine law in our state and
presents the case that our laws are not only antiquated but also in
violation of the US Constitution.

Phyllis M. Reber (nee Guba), 72, of Avon, previously of Lorain, passed away peacefully Wednesday, February 6, 2013, at New Life Hospice, surrounded by her husband, son, and daughter. She was born June 15, 1940 in Lorain, to Frank and Mary (nee Geres) Guba, and was a graduate of Lorain High School.
Phyllis was a member of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and the former Holy Trinity Parish. She made her career as an office manager and bookkeeper for her husband's dental practice, working until they both retired in September 2011, after 48 years.
Phyllis was very devoted to Lorain Catholic High School. She served on their Endowment Foundation, Education Commission, aided the teachers, and was always there to support and promote the success of the school. Phyllis was also a member of the Lorain County Dental Auxiliary and served a term as President, and volunteered at St. Joseph Hospital. She was a also a member of the Holy Trinity Seniors and enjoyed their monthly outings.
Phyllis was truly a gentle soul, kind and generous to everyone she met. She always went out of her way to help others and had such a calming presence and beautiful smile. Blessed with a talent and knack for decorating, she loved changing her home decor often. Decorating for all the holidays was always her passion. It didn't matter what the holiday, she went all out. She took great pride in the fact that people would tell her how much they enjoyed passing her home to see what decorations would be up.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 52 years, Dr. Ronald J. Reber; son, Randy (Kelly) of Brunswick; daughter, Pamela (Bill) Jones of Lorain; granddaughter, Megan Reber; grandsons, Matthew Reber, Austin Jones and Cole Jones; and brother, Richard Guba.
She was preceded in death by her son, Ron Reber; parents, Frank and Mary Guba; and her sister, Gloria Jean Middleton.
The Reber family will receive friends Sunday, February 10, 2013 from 2 to 7 P.M. in the Dovin and Reber Jones Funeral & Cremation Center, 1110 Cooper Foster Park Rd., Amherst. Closing prayers will be said at 9:30 A.M., Monday, February 11, 2013 in the funeral center, followed by Mass of Christian Burial at 10 A.M. at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 200 St. Joseph Dr., Amherst.

Epilogue – Beginning of the End
"Eeow! This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!"
Of all the things he could have complained about, somehow it didn't surprise Song that it was the tea that upset Iroh.
She swallowed with difficulty. It truly was awful tea.
"Uncle, that's what all tea is."
It also didn't surprise her that Zuko still couldn't distinguish between the former and the latter. Mind you, his tea was typically so bitter it could turn your face inside out.
"How can a member of my own family say something so horrible?" Iroh hurled the tea out of one of the front windows. "We'll have to make some major changes around here."
A girl appeared in the doorway of the teashop, a crooked smile on her face and an apron over her arm. Her dark hair was coiled in a bun at the back of her head and secured with a set of three well worn hairpins, each with a small wooden flower at each end. Two had seed pearls missing from their petals. Song noted her eyes as the light caught them; hazel, the left with the tiniest fleck of blue at the outer iris.
"Watch it with the hot leaf juice there," she said, smiling now at Iroh and flicking tea leaves from one corner of her uniform.
"My apologies," Iroh said, beaming. He bowed. "I am Mushi; this is my nephew, Lee and our traveling companion, Song."
"Nice to meet you all. I'm Pao's waitress, Aneko."
Song watched as Aneko took them in. She never hesitated over Zuko's scar, but her eyes flickered curiously when she say the faint sadness in Song's. This girl was perceptive.
"You're new to Ba Sing Se, right?"
Iroh nodded gravely. "We are."
Those terribly perceptive eyes took them in for a second time as she went about pulling chairs down from tables and laying out teacups. The crooked smile came back.
"You'll be fine," she reassured them. "Its good that you've got jobs now. And once you get settled, the city's not so bad."
Zuko spoke for the first time, his face and voice sullen. "Sure," he muttered, "Because everyone's so safe in Ba Sing Se."
Aneko paused, gazing at him, suddenly serious. "Only fools and children really believe that," she said carefully. "You don't look like a fool and none of us are children anymore." She exhaled sharply and went back to the teacups. "You'll want to put a lid on the attitude too; the Dai Li don't take too kindly to that kind of talk."
Song tilted her head, curiosity getting the better of her. "Who're the Dai Li…?"
And so, it began.
It was ending.
Jin's hood covered her face, shielding the world from her gimleted eyes as she stood guard in the hallway of Song's apartment building. In her hands the little jade fox turned over and over, over and over, while silently Jin's worries did the same in her mind.
It was ending.
Dear spirits, please let me be doing the right thing…
With quick, efficient movements, Aneko picked up an under blouse, folded it and laid it in the bag beside a pile of other clothes. Across the room, Song was going through her closet, pulling things out and throwing them on the bed to be packed. When she suddenly stilled, Aneko looked up and followed her gaze.
She was staring at a pair of new traveling boots. Aneko went to her, standing close and taking the other girl's hand. She was still holding Zuko's dagger. Song spoke.
"I'd forgotten I had them," she murmured. "I bought them our second day here. I thought – I thought maybe we wouldn't be staying long, that I should have a pair just in case." She turned to look at Aneko. "I suppose I'll need them now, won't I?"
Aneko nodded. "Brave girls wear boots," she said without thinking.
"Oh." She shook her head. "It was just something my mom told me, before we moved to Ba Sing Se. I had to wear boots for the journey, when I'd never really owned a pair before. Mom told me we were going on an adventure and that…that brave girls had to wear boots to go on adventures."
Song smiled briefly, then held up the dagger in her open palm, looking down at it with shuttered eyes.
"Do you think Uri will be okay?"
Aneko closed the other girl's fingers over the dagger.
"I hope so."
Uri ran.
She ran as hard and as fast as she could. Her feet beat against the road in time to her heartbeat, in time to the blood pounding in her ears, in her wrists and throat, in time with the rage coursing through her.
When she could stand no more, when the angry tears began, she threw back her ragged head and screamed once to the cold stars overhead.
Idiot for running, idiot for coming, idiot for staying. Idiot for loving them, for thinking him a brother. Idiot, idiot, idiot, oh Zuko you utter fool…how could he have done this. How could he have let this happen?
"Zuko's our friend. We trusted him – and now he's decided he's just going to abandon us (and Iroh!) to follow this will-o-the-wisp, wild hog-monkey chance of capturing the Avatar. The Avatar for crying out loud!"
She flew into her and Aneko's apartment, furiously swiping away her tears. Dee-Dee came to meet her, meowing plaintively. She spared him a quick pat and a handful of dried meat before whirling away into her bedroom, throwing clothes haphazardly into her old satchel.
"He wants to go home, Uri, and he sees capturing the Avatar as the return ticket."
"That's it though! This is home now – I'm happy here, why can't he be?"
Jin had said they weren't safe here anymore. Uri knew it was true, had helped to explain it to the other girls. Azula was vindictive, always had been, had been trained to be that way ever since she was small…and Iroh had said it himself; Song was important to Zuko, they all were, and if Azula thought she could get even a small reaction out of her brother by hurting his friends she wouldn't hesitate.
"Because there's a crucial difference between you and Zuko; you ran away, but he was banished. Boiled down, you chose this…he didn't."
Yes, he chose. Chose to help Azula murder the Avatar; murder Aang, who had been twelve, with grey eyes and a sheepish smile and the hope of the world on his shoulders. And yet stupidly, Uri thought of Zuko, thought of him pandering to his sister's destruction and all she wanted to do was protect him.
A flash of something crossed her eyes; a memory older than the one's that had touched her in her anger.
She remembered being twelve, being even smaller than she was now and terrified yet determined as she crept through the bamboo scaffolding of the amphitheatre. Above her, the crowd had roared with some emotion she couldn't identify. She had crawled until she'd seen a pair of boots she recognized. Her father's as he sat with that man, that Admiral who had come to see them. He had looked at her and nodded at her father, saying only, "She'll do."
And now, here they were, to watch the royal Agni Kai. The prince, up against someone…someone…no one had said who… All she had cared about was eavesdropping on her father's plans for her after the Academy.
More roaring and ominous silence.
She heard the sound of a boy's voice, though she couldn't make out his words. Then a man spoke and Uri peered, horrified, through the gaps in the seat covers.
Ozai looked down with cold eyes upon his kneeling son. "You will learn respect and suffering will be your teacher."
When the flames had burst to life, Uri had shut her eyes and covered her ears. She still heard him scream. Later, when she felt brave enough to open her eyes, Zuko had been a shivering creature upon the Agni Kai grounds, his uncle rushing to his side. Uri had looked away and into the face of Princess Azula.
All that could be seen…all that could be found on that girl's face was cruelty and joy.
Here, now, Uri stepped away from the satchel on her bed and backed slowly out of her room. She lifted her wrist and stared unblinkingly at the pendant of yellow jade that rested, Dragon Blossom side up, upon her pulse point.
She had a plan.
For the first time since her family and its orphans had settled here, Ba Sing Se felt quiet to Aneko. There were no night markets, few teashops still open, many streets darkened without their lanterns lit. She wondered why for a moment before something occurred to her.
It had all been done on purpose. The authorities coordinating with the Dai Li. Keep them inside, they must have said. It's too dangerous to be out in the dark tonight, so don't light the lanterns, and don't allow any markets…keep them all inside…for their own safety.
It was only a very small movement, barely perceptible in the dark, but Aneko felt her lip curling in barely restrained disgust.
Turning her gaze away from the darkened city, she took in her companions as they were upon the station platform. Song stood a little way away with Shan, her forehead bowed to his chest, his arms holding her against the horrors tonight had brought. The already angular plains of the healer's face where made harsher by his solemn expression. Beside Aneko stood Jin; both girls were black-eyed in the near-lightless night, sisters shoulder to shoulder in their deep grey cloaks and stone-carved expressions.
Still, it was Aneko who first spotted Uri.
She came bounding up the station steps, only one bag bouncing upon her shoulder and no Dee-Dee in sight. If that alone hadn't been enough to set off a warning bell, Uri's face did it.
"Something's wrong," she whispered.
Jin's head snapped around, predator look back in place. Before she could ask, Uri was in front of them, Song and Shan following. Uri eyed the healer.
"Hi, what're you doing here?" she asked. Tact of a sledgehammer.
"Shan's helping. He's acting as an escort to get us out of the city. He knows people who can help us get away." Her eyes narrowed at the little firebender. "What's happened? What's wrong?"
Uri ducked her head taking a few shuddering breaths. She looked up again. "I'm not going with you."
Song made a sound of pain. There was a sharp inhalation that came from Jin. Aneko felt the blood drain from her face.
"I have to stay," Uri told them, determination gathering in her face. "Even though – even though he helped Azula – even though he helped her kill Aang…" Her breath hitched. "He's still – he's still someone I care about and I – I don't believe he did it without some sort of reason, however stupid or foolish or…" She choked and seemed unable to continue.
Without speaking, Aneko took both Uri's hands in her own. Uri kept going.
"Zuko's a boy. He's not as bright as us. He'll – he'll need to be protected, even if it's only from himself. That's why I'm staying." She shook her head, black bangs flying. "Don't argue with me on this, guys."
Aneko felt her throat close, thickening with tears. Her breath rattled and she gasped softly. This couldn't be happening. Her best friend…her boss…her brother…
But it was happening, it was happening right now, and it had to happen, because Uri was right; Zuko wasn't as bright as he should have been. He was a boy. He was damaged. He wanted things, things that clouded his judgement, would make him vulnerable. And even though it hurt…
She moved forward, wrapping her arms as tightly around the smaller girl as she could. She felt Uri hug her back. There was a soft blur of movement and then Song was there at Aneko's left side, her arms around both of them. Jin was next to Aneko's right. They bent forward over Uri, Jin and Song's forehead's touching, forming an arch of warmth.
They stayed like that for what felt like an eon and no time at all. Tears ran down every cheek. Every third breath was ragged. Though it remained unsaid, each knew that something – someone – was missing.
"Be safe," Song whispered.
"Be careful," Jin added.
"Be brave," Aneko finished.
As the train pulled in, Uri handed Aneko her bag. Aneko wordlessly took one of her three hairpins, the one with the red coral centre, from her hair. Uri's hair was still too short and ragged for pins, so Aneko tucked it through the collar of her tunic. It sat like a broach, its seed pearl petals winking in the starlight. It looked like it belonged there.
She leant forward, pressing a kiss to the little firebender's forehead.
"We'll find you," she breathed. "Promise."
And then, in a whirl of dark cloth and whispers, they departed.
It was late when she finally got back to the apartment.
Dazed, she moved through its rooms. Nothing had sunk in. Not really.
Silently, she began packing things, digging out the packing crates from the communal storage down the hall. She put away the rest of Aneko's things, labeling each crate with her parent's address. In one, she wrote a short letter of explanation, hid it in Aneko's jewelry box and buried it deep in a stack of winter clothing. They would be sent tomorrow, if she had time.
She packed her own as well, leaving out enough to pack into her satchel and to change into the next morning.
Upon the stripped mattress, Uri curled up with her puma and waited for sunrise.
In the early hours of the morning they moved through the city.
Shadows cast by the watered sunlight hid the litter, the curled shapes of the homeless and the beggars who crouched waiting in the alcoves and closed doorways. What little foot traffic there was parted for them, eyes darting away from the scared boy in a waiter's uniform and his silent Dai Li escort.
They had moved steadily down from the middle ring, and since then, Zuko had been a creature of great and terrible rage.
Song wasn't there. The apartment had been empty of human life, and Song had been gone along with a comparative scattering of her possessions. Her clothes…her treasure chest…his dagger.
He wondered if she'd found his note. He wondered how she would react when she found out. He wondered if she would hate him for what he'd done.
As he knocked hard on Uri and Aneko's door, he comforted himself with the rage, the thought that if anyone had taken her, harmed her, there would be hell to pay and he would be the one to extract payment. He waited for someone to answer, waiting minutes, then beat upon the door again, calling, "Uri! Aneko! Open up, guys!"
From inside he heard soft shuffling, almost inaudible footsteps. The door slide wide and there was Uri, wild-haired and rumpled in yesterday's clothes.
When she looked at him, he felt something curl up inside him and shake.
"Where's Song?" he asked.
She gazed back at him, and he saw her own anger moving like a ghost behind her eyes. "Gone," she said.
"Gone where, Uri?"
"Away, somewhere." She shrugged. "Somewhere safe. Away from Azula."
Zuko seethed. "Uri, Azula isn't a threat anymore, she –"
Uri gave him a disbelieving look. "Are you really that stupid, Zuko?"
His fists clenched at his sides. He breathed hot gouts of steam from both nostrils and grit his teeth.
"Just tell me where she is."
"I don't know. I didn't ask and they probably wouldn't have told me if I had. You shouldn't worry. Aneko's with her, and Jin and Shan. She'll be fine. Jin seemed to know what she was doing." Uri's amber eyes inspected his face. "She knew about us, you know? And Iroh. She didn't blame us for keeping secrets. She wanted to protect us girls – even me, if I'd let her."
Zuko felt his ire melt away, leaving incredulity in its wake. "…you could have gone with them?"
Uri nodded. He stared at her, perplexed.
"Why stay, then?"
She stared back at him, her expression inscrutable. "I have something to take care of," she said softly.
He looked away, mind and reason scattering as he wondered what to do. There was little point in going after Song if…a fist closed around his heart…if she was afraid of him. A little voice called from far away inside him, and said, yet everything you've done, you did to protect her.
Never give up without a fight.
This time he had to.
He found Uri's eyes again. "Come back with me," he said earnestly, "to the Fire Nation. We can…we can finally go home."
"Zuko." She let out a rough sigh and dragged one small hand through her short hair. "Its not…it's not my home anymore. Besides, if I do go back my father with just trap me again and force me through some farce of a marriage…"
Zuko shook his head. "No, no he won't. I won't let him. You can stay at the palace and he won't be able to get you and…and I won't allow him to marry you off." He gripped her shoulders, smiling for the first time in twenty-four hours. "I can do all that now, Uri. I – I have it back. My honour as a prince is restored."
She stared at him with flat eyes before nodding slowly.
"Okay," she said softly. "Just let me get my things."
AN: Thus endth Brave Girls Wear Boots. I've had some mixed feedback for this one, and honestly I'm not sure if I'm willing to put time and effort into a sequel for it (what is it with me and Avatar fanfiction?). Its all starting to feel like a bad rehash. If you guys still wanna see what happens I'll try and put together some oneshots later in the year. Thanks for reading, leave a review on your way, if you feel thus inclined.

The second season trailer for HBO's "Girls" begins with Hannah watching a YouTube love letter from her sort-of ex-boyfriend, Adam, who sings "Standing outside, you destroy my heart. Thanks." But Hannah's trying, at least, to grow up, hoping that her independence from Adam will pave the way for something better: "This opens up space in my life for the kind, sexy responsible boyfriend I have always wanted." Meanwhile, Marnie navigates the single life with guest star Rita Wilson, and Shoshanna carries on with Ray -- post-deflowerment. Oh, and Jessa's still married to that guy from "Bridesmaids." The best part of the trailer is a sneak peek at Hannah's attempt at a neon-yellow mesh shirt.
"Girls" returns to HBO on January 13.

President Barack Obama has tapped a former top aide to former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to take over the No. 3 post at the State Department.
The White House says that Albright's one-time counselor and North Korea expert, Wendy Sherman, was nominated Friday to be undersecretary of state for political affairs.
The choice is unusual as the position is usually held by a serving career diplomat. Sherman is the vice chair of Albright's consulting firm, the Albright Stonebridge Group, and was an adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign.
If confirmed by the Senate, Sherman will succeed veteran diplomat William Burns, who has been nominated to be deputy secretary of state. Burns would replace James Steinberg, who resigned to take a teaching position at Syracuse University.

I do the typical Instagram thing - the outfit posts, the too many pictures of food (one of my favorite memes is the one that says, "INSTAGRAM IS DOWN, JUST DESCRIBE YOUR LUNCH TO ME!"), the challenges every now and then. It becomes a way of sharing amongst people, and I think that's the big draw of Instagram - not the grainy quality photos or filters that no one ever uses (seriously, does anyone use that 1970's or Kelvin one - ever? Please let me know).
I have a kagillion pictures on Instagram, but today I'm focusing on what it's all really about - the clothes. So excuse my vanity, I apologize ahead of time. I suck at doing the whole outfit post thing that you all pull off so effortlessly and stylishly, so this is my attempt at a mass outfit post -- via Instagram.
The mandated outfit posts - from work to casual, I really have enjoyed documenting some of the more creative things I've put together (at least in my head).
J Brand skinnies, Lux leather jacket; Alexander Wang v-neck; gifted scarf; Anthropologie earrings
Marled sweaters, Ray Ban glasses, riding boots, and Starbucks. You had me at hello (and yes it was 70 degrees outside, and no I refuse to give up boots and sweaters once fall rolls around).
J Crew sweater; Cole Haan boots; Ray Ban glasses; Essie polish
Summer 2012 hippie status (thank you Anthropologie, x2).
Miscellaneous work outfits - most not district appropriate. (Sorry I'm not sorry).
Juicy Couture hoodie; Gap career pants; Cole Haan heels
Sometimes when I can't wait for casual Friday, I invent casual Tuesday.
Joie cargo pants; H&M blazer; J Crew v-neck; Cole Haan booties; vintage necklace
J Brand skinnies; Free People cardigan; J Crew v-neck; Dolce Vita booties; Botkier bag; Anthropologie earrings
Legit casual Friday - denim on denim.
Hudson jeans; Nation LTD chambray button down; Tiffany & Co. necklace; Michael Kors watch; Steve Madden boots
My boy's brother commented on this one and said, "I didn't know teachers can dress like this!". Awk-warddd.
J Crew socks and blouse; American Eagle cardigan; Kate Spade flats; Essie polish; Skinny upside-down caramel macchiato by Starbucks ;)
Sometimes polish and accessories are a girl's best friend.
Perched in my favorite spot (seriously - it's cozy!) with a fresh pedicure.
I'm ill, not sick. And I'm okay, but my watch sick.
YSL cocktail ring; Essie polish
Have you gotten into the Instagram trend? What are your favorite things to photograph (either via iPhone or with a "real" camera)?
Also, does anyone else invent excuses to wear whatever they want to work on a given day? Fingers crossed I'm not alone in this.

The peak of flu season is quickly approaching, but there's still time to protect yourself and others by getting vaccinated.
Dr. Vicki Whitacre of the Zanesville-Muskingum County Health Department said more cases of the flu are reported in February than any other month, but as the weather gets colder, influenza activity is likely to increase.
"Up to this point, it's been what we call sporadic, which means there's just an occasional case of the flu," said Whitacre. "I think it's probably going to grow more as the next month or two goes by."
Symptoms to watch out for include fever, vomiting, diarrhea and fatigue. Whitacre said even if you've already had the flu this season, it's possible to contract multiple strands of the virus.
"There's Type A and Type B, and of those types, there are other breakdowns of different kinds of flu," said Whitacre. "There's lots of different viruses that cause flu-like illness."
Most viruses will run their course for about a week, although the duration of symptoms can vary from person to person.
"You need to get a flu shot to prevent yourself from getting it, but also to protect those who you may be caring for, particularly if you're a healthcare worker or you're taking care of small children," said Whitacre.
If you or your child is showing any flu-like symptoms, it's important to stay home from work or school and seek medical attention for severe dehydration or breathing problems. Free flu shots are still available at the health department for children ages six months to 18 years.

Mick Jagger's 10k pants
A pair of Sir Mick Jagger's trousers are set to fetch more than $10,000 at auction.
The Rolling Stone frontman's custom-made pants, which he later shared with his bandmate Keith Richards, are being sold online at RRAuction.com and are expected to make the huge sum.
The description on the website reads: "Mick Jagger's custom-made sage green velvet pants, personally worn and shared by Jagger and band mate Keith Richards, and gifted to musician Gram Parsons circa 1968.
"The front of the pants consist of two buttons and a zipper, with the rear featuring an adjustable belt. In very good condition, with extensive wear from use and some staining to back. Accompanied by a copy of a letter of provenance from John Nuese, a close friend of Parsons and a founding member of the International Submarine Band, dated October 24, 2007, who lists them as 'Blue velvet pants, custom made for Mick Jagger, used by Mick and Keith Richards, then given by Mick to Gram Parsons.'"
The trousers are also being sold with some images of Mick wearing them.
The description continues: "Also accompanied by five images: one of Jagger wearing the pants; another showing the pants displayed with two images of the pants being worn on different occasions by Jagger and Richard, the latter sitting with Parsons in the back of a convertible; a third depicting Richards and Parsons in conversation; and two others of Richards and Parsons at Joshua Tree, the location Parsons later died. The high hem of the lower pant leg can be plainly identified in the convertible and Joshua Tree photos, and very clearly match the same pants offered here. The item is also accompanied by various written materials relating to the pants and Parson's connection and musical relationships with both Nuese and the Rolling Stones. These pants, worn by three legitimate heroes of the 1960s rock landscape, neatly tie together the intimacy shared by Parsons and his friends in the Rolling Stones."

Discussion in 'Pro Match Results and Discussion' started by Andres, May 13, 2006.
Roger is getting chances but he is blowing them
Some nice forehands by Nadal to get an ad for game point.
Roger better hope he wins this tie-breaker.
Federer runs like 10000000000000 feet outside of the court to hit a forehand, it barely goes over the net which makes an easy putaway for NAdal 6 all tiebreak time
nadal is just too good..
Each player has won 36 points. Roger is really keeping up with Nadal. Let's hope he can just execute a little better when it counts.
Federer hits a nice approach, Nadal can't quite hit it well and it goes into the net, 1-0 Federer.
Approach/overhead winner for Federer 2-0
Crosscourt backhand winner for Federer 3-0
3-0 for Federer! Come on!
Who served first in this tiebreaker?
Approach down the line, volley winner for 4-0 Federer
4-0 Fed. C'mon squeeze it out now!!!
Federer served first
ACEEEEE for 5-0 Federer
Nadal came back from 0-3 down in the tiebreak at Monte Carlo. I don't think he can recover from 0-5 down however.
Nadal dumps a forehand into the net for 6-0
1 hour and 8 minutes in 1 set, i hate claycourt tennis
He got six set points.. he better not blew it.. against nadal nothing is a given, even for roger.
This is claycourt tennis at its best. I don't think you can argue against this.
Live scores also on the homepage http://www.interna*zionaliditalia.it/
This no shop, god damn
Federer is playing great tennis. 15/18 net points won
Hehehe it blocked the "n a z i" part of the url.
WOW!!!.. i need a smoke. atleast roger wont lose straight sets to nadal..
Damn a 7-0 tiebreaker. That must demoralize Nadal in some manner.
Wow, that was quite impressive. 7-0 in the tie-break. Didn't expect that.
Roger wins the first set.I think Roger needs to win this set.If Nadal wins this set, i think its over.
I think Fed has good chances now. it´s a 50/50 match now? Any calls?
Roger needs to try and break Nadal's spirit in this set, Fed always struggles in second sets
HOLY BATMAN! nadal lost the first set?
I agree with AOH, Fed had to win the first set. Still it will be tough. Rafa surely will not let down. I still see Rafa winning in 4 though I hope Fed will correct me from wrong.
Federer is frequently getting to net on clay and winning those points. Do you think this will breed some serve-and-volleyers in the next generation of claycourt artists?
As expected, sloppy first game from Federer for 0-1
Roger needs to hold his serve, he cant play with Nadal, Nadal can play for 4 hours, i dont know if Fed can.
Hmm...love service game for Nadal to start the second set. I don't think Nadal was rattled by that tiebreak.
haha great between the legs hit from Rafa to win the first
A few errors from Nadal now for 40-15 Federer...nothing of note yet..
Fed hits a nice approach followed by a crosscourt dropshot winner for 1 all
Roger always gets nervous, break Nadal damn it.
Fed dumps a return into the net for 15-0
Nadal hardly gets rattled by anything these days..
Nadal looks to be holding easy, Roger needs to do the same.
Federer hits a dropshot, Nadal dropshots back and Fed can't get it over the net for 30-0
Federer hits return long for 40-0
Federer hits return into the net for game Nadal.
back to back love holds..
damnit, fed needs to break
Level dropping from Federer a little........But Nadal's not really stepping up either. Nice volley smash from Fed for 30-15.
Unreturnable serve for 40-15.
Nadal hits return out for 2 all
Good first serve percentage now from Fed. 70% in the second. That's important to keep it up.
Backhand pass from Nadal for 30 love
Nadal dumps a ball into the net for 30-15
Federer floats one long for 40-15
He then dumps a short backhand into the net for 3-2 Nadal
Nadal dumps a second serve into the net for 15-0
Nice volley combination for Federer to go up 30-0
Nadal hits a drop shot into the net for 40-0
Serve/forehand for Federer to come even again at 3 all
Separate names with a comma.

SINGAPORE, July 1 (UPI) -- Foreign ministers from Malaysia and Singapore kicked off a two-day meeting Monday to discuss bilateral issues, including a water trade deal, but Singapore's prime minister has warned the conference would not be a cure-all.
"My sense is the foreign ministers will be able to make good progress but I do not expect a resolution of all problems," Goh Chock Tong said recently.
Negotiations on a water deal between the two countries have been going on for nearly nine months, with little progress achieved as both sides argued over the price and the quantity of water sold by Malaysia to its neighbor.
Last September, both countries seemed to have achieved a breakthrough on five key bilateral contentious issues, but little progress has actually been achieved in fleshing out the details of the deal.
During the meeting in Kuala Lumpur foreign ministers will discuss those bilateral issues, including a new proposal set forward by Malaysia and counterproposal from Singapore.
The other pending issues are the relocation of the Malaysian Customs, Immigration and Quarantine facilities in Singapore, the redevelopment of Malaysian railway land in Singapore, use of Malaysian airspace by Singapore's air force and release of Singapore Central Provident Fund contributions to West Malaysians. But the water deal remains the most difficult and key issue.
Currently, Singapore obtains half of its water needs from Malaysia under agreements running until 2061 and 2062. The Malaysian state of Johor provides 350 million gallons of water per day to Singapore at $0.007 per 1,000 gallons, while Singapore has to resell a minimum 17 million gallons per day of treated water to Johor at $0.13 per 1,000 gallons.
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad described the current price as "ridiculous," pointing that Hong Kong pays mainland China $2.10 per 1,000 gallons.
The price differential has prompted calls from Malaysian politicians that Singapore is profiteering from the deal, while Singapore officials argue that the Malaysians are not taking into consideration the cost of treating the water for Singapore, which they estimate at $0.63.
Malaysia's foreign minister, Syed Hamid Albar, recently called on Singapore to keep an "open mind" and accept a competitive price. "Malaysia doesn't want to continue to be shackled or haunted by the water problem," he said.
Meanwhile, Goh has said he is hoping for "a formula, which can stand the test of time."

The good news, if there is any, is that Nancy was in the real bottom two, so there is a chance her end is near.
Two of the finalists seem pretty clear, but of the other 3 don't see any good options...can't vote for a Kardasian, Hope is miserable working with Maks, Nancy is not a good dancer.
Still don't see all the praise for Rob. Yes, he does better than expected, but there are clearly segments that he is plodding. He has a few moments that are impressive, then reverts to walking around the floor. Cheryl is making him look really good.
Mak's comments in taped segment after dance pretty much summed up his working relationship with Hope...he said "you did good." She sat there, hoping for some sort of heart-felt encouragement, realized nothing more was coming, finally just smiled and accepted it. I don't think they've gotten along since Hope said Maks was more girly than her. This is such a frustrating pairing. Maybe Maks' toe will keep him out a week, Val can step in.

Charity gift cards: great last-minute gifts for do-gooders
Got a minimalist on the gift list? Someone living simply who really doesn't want anything for the holidays? Yep, they can be difficult… just ask my wife.
While baked goods or experiences can work well for this crowd, another option has sprung up over the past few years: charity gift cards. Just like the consumption-oriented versions, these cards allow you to purchase a certain amount of monetary value… which the recipient can then donate to a favorite charity. A few of the options here:
- The Causes Charity Gift Card: A new offering by the Facebook app that allows you to support causes important to you, and recruit others. Springwise has a short write-up on their entry into this market.
- The Charity Navigator Good Card: The granddaddy of charitable web portals offers its card in partnership with Network for Good.
- The TisBest Card: TisBest claims the spot of the original charity gift card, and, like others, offer both electronic and physical cards (their plastic cards are 100% recycled). They also offer the option of customized images on the card.
As with any gift card purchase, it's good to check the fine print on these… Consumer Reports published a run-down last year of some of the charges you may incur with these cards (and the ones listed above seem pretty transparent about these).
Given charity cards in the past? Or have other suggestions for charitable holiday gifts? Tell us about it…

Babel agrees Hoffenheim deal
Liverpool have confirmed Holland international Ryan Babel has agreed to join Bundesliga club Hoffenheim.
Last Updated: 24/01/11 9:25pm
Liverpool have confirmed Holland international Ryan Babel has agreed to join Bundesliga club Hoffenheim.
Babel's future at Anfield has been the subject of conjecture for the past 12 months and he had been a long-term target for Birmingham City.
During the current transfer window, the attacker had been linked with a return to former club Ajax as part of a deal which could see Luis Suarez join Liverpool.
However, the Reds accepted an offer from Hoffenheim last week and Babel underwent a medical before the transfer seemingly stalled.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish stated earlier on Monday that the 24-year-old would be staying on Merseyside, but the club have now confirmed Babel's impending departure.
Babel is understood to have agreed a two-and-a-half year contract with Hoffenheim and he will fly to Germany on Tuesday to finalise his move.
He joined Liverpool from Ajax in a big-money deal in 2007 and he scored 22 goals in 146 appearances for the club after failing to make a sustained impact in the Premier League.
His sale will raise hopes on Merseyside that new boss Dalglish has his first signing lined up to replace Babel, having had a £4million bid for Blackpool captain Charlie Adam rejected.

Acer 'bake it' by Mother
Kiefer Sutherland stars in a new campaign for Acer's Aspire S5 Ultrabook as a pastiche of his character Jack Bauer in the TV series 24.
In the spot, which was created by Mother and is running across Europe, Bauer shows his softer side by making cupcakes. He uses his laptop to search for the perfect recipe, ruthlessly interrogates people about ingredients and blows up his own car to make the logo for his cupcake brand.
The ad breaks this week in the UK, Germany, France and Russia as a 90-second film for cinema and the web, a 20-second TV trailer and a series of print executions. It was directed by Ivan Zacharias through Stink. Post-production was by The Mill. The director of photography was John Lynch.

Oran Kearney believes Coleraine need to continue raising the bar if they want to climb the Premiership table.
The Bannsiders emerged from an Oval deluge with a deserved a point against Glentoran on Saturday.
Ruairi Harkin opened the scoring with a superb drilled effort in the 13th minute.
Former Coleraine striker Aaron Boyd replied for the Glens in the 57th minute, tapping home from close range after Curtis Allen's shot had rebounded off the post.
It saw Coleraine make it four games unbeaten in all competitions.
"Our big focus has been on performance over the last few games. As long as we get that then we will have a chance in most games," Kearney said.
"I thought we had a very good first half, and Glentoran came into it in the second.
"The last 20 minutes it was end to end, but I think we had enough chances on the day to come away with the three points."
Kearney lamented some decisions that went against his side – pivotal moments he feels could have cost Coleraine maximum reward.
"Ruairi Harkin hit a free-kick that hit a Glentoran player's arm inside the box. Many times you see the linesman's flag go up and a penalty awarded," he said.
"The big one for me was the Davy McDaid one. He got in behind the Glentoran defence and was through on goal. There was big contact made when one-on-one with the keeper, and I think that could easily have been a red card for Glentoran.
"Instead, the ref waves play-on and we end up having one of our player's booked for remonstrating."
Glens boss Eddie Patterson admitted Saturday's draw was a "decent point" for both sides.
"You will see the performances and results Coleraine have had in their last few games, and you can see improvement there," he said.
"We knew it would be very tough, particularly with us losing the likes of Stephen McAlorum, and the other injuries we have. So it was a welcome point for us.
"Credit to the lads, they showed great character and played some great football in tough conditions.
"We just didn't create as many chances as we like.
"We are proving hard to beat. And considering how many players we are missing, it is positive."

Duke exits after taking line drive off left hand
Duke exits after taking line drive off left hand
The drive came off the bat of Rockies outfield prospect Charlie Blackmon. The D-backs pulled Duke from the contest almost immediately after trainers arrived to look at him. Right-hander Jarrod Parker replaced Duke.
Duke said he will be evaluated by team doctors on Sunday. Because there was no sharp pain when he was tested by athletic trainers Saturday night, Duke was optimistic the injury wasn't serious.
2010 Spring Training - null
Sights & Sounds
Spring Training Info
"It squared me up pretty good, right in the back of the hand," Duke said. "I've got a nice 'C' mark on there.".
It wasn't the first bit of bad luck for Duke. Third baseman Geoff Blum committed an error to allow Rockies leadoff hitter Dexter Fowler to reach in the first inning. Fowler scored on Todd Helton's single to tie the score at 1. Chris Iannetta, the batter before Blackmon, reached on another Blum error.
Duke had given up three solo home runs in his previous outing, a loss to the White Sox that dropped him to 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA in three Cactus League appearances. Before joining the D-backs this year, Duke was the winningest pitcher in the history of PNC Park, going 31-31 in 81 starts for the Pirates.

text: Maryland's Middle Chester River Partnership Moving Forward Last year, Ducks Unlimited partnered with several governmental, educational, and private organizations to form the Middle Chester River Partnership (MCRP). The goal of the MCRP is to restore the Middle Chester River Watershed in Kent County, Maryland, by implementing a long-term plan to address various factors contributing to the degradation of the watershed. The Middle Chester River Watershed drains directly into Chesapeake Bay and provides vital habitat and water resources for migratory waterfowl, other wetland-dependent wildlife, and people. The watershed is located in DU's Upper Chesapeake Priority Area. This partnership has three major objectives: upgrading and replacing failing septic systems, promoting sustainable agricultural practices such as the planting of buffer strips along watercourses and the use of ecologically-sound agricultural equipment, and implementing wetland restoration projects. These efforts will help reduce excess nutrient runoff, increase wildlife habitat, and improve water quality in the Chester River and Chesapeake Bay. DU is responsible for wetland restoration work, including survey, design, and construction management. Through this partnership, DU hopes to complete a minimum of two projects a year for three years. To date, DU has completed two of the six scheduled restorations and is on track to complete the remaining four on schedule. Ducks Unlimited has completed a survey and design for an additional project, on which construction is scheduled to begin in the near future. DU has also identified three new restoration sites in the watershed. The plan to restore this watershed is part of DU's Completing the Cycle Initiative, a landscape-level effort that addresses the lifecycle needs of waterfowl in the northeastern Atlantic Flyway by combining science, public policy, and on-the-ground habitat conservation.
