Elmer's Capenter Glue
By chaltun
from Queens NY
Used in craft products utilizing wood. Once applied you can take your time in placing it within your project before glue dries. It remains tacky for a while and the excel glue comes right off using a damp cloth or the point of an xacto knife. Can paint over it without any problem. There is nothing that I don't like about this product. I highly recommend it
very good reliable product

I have been looking at the material on your web site and have found a lot of good information, tests etc.
I will be travelling to Namibia (end of Jan 14) to teach English for 3 months (as a voluntary worker) and the group (adults) has no previous knowledge of English and the target is to get them at least started on the path to learning English sufficiently in order to be able to talk and write elementary English. Would anyone have materials which could be used in the very beginning? If anyone has good advice for teaching English to African countryside folks, I'd be very glad to hear them.

HEY you guys ... "The Goonies" are back!
Director Richard Donner told TMZ he's making a sequel to his epic 1980s flick and wants to bring back the entire cast.
"We're doing a sequel," he said.
He said "hopefully all of" the original cast, including Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin and Data, will get involved.
But it's not clear whether they'll be recast in their old roles, or if they will have a guest part.
The Steven Spielberg-penned adventure-comedy about a bunch of kids who search for pirate treasure to save their homes from foreclosure, was an instant hit when it was released in 1985.
But character Lotney "Sloth" Fratelli, with his mangled face and "Hey you guys" catchphrase, was the stuff of nightmares.
Stay tuned ... Goonies never say die!

Can the Center Hold?
Fear pervades the Jewish community today. The fallout from the Gaza flotilla episode continues to reverberate in unpredictable and unsettling ways. Israel finds itself in a very difficult bind. It faces growing political isolation and, at the same time, has to deal with Hamas and Hezbollolah — both tough and unpleasant neighbors perched on its borders. Meanwhile, the greater strategic threat, Iran, is led by a clever dictator who spews bile at every turn and constantly outmaneuvers the West in his dangerous quest for nuclear weapons.
That said, Jewish communal leaders are wrong to compare the present situation to the 1930s in Europe when Nazism took rise; our era, in which there is a militarily powerful Jewish state whose chief strategic ally is the world's major superpower, is far from that dark time. This kind of misreading of the past, sincere as it may be, points to a malady in American Jewish communal life: the repeated invocation of Jewish victimhood as an instinctual response to crisis. That model no longer works. The crisis-driven agenda has been employed too frequently and too ineffectively to speak to a majority of American Jews, who have voted with their feet by fleeing organized communal life.
It is this very realization that anchors Peter Beinart's essay "The Failure of the American Jewish Establishment," published last month in The New York Review of Books. Beinart argues that the existing paradigm of Jewish communal activity is broken, and that must terrify the leaders of the organized American Jewish community. For they have hinged so much of their personal and institutional mission on one criterion and one criterion alone: Not Yiddishkayt, not Jewish observance or literacy, not knowledge of Hebrew, not a sense of a global Jewish well-being, not even a deep personal or cultural connection to Israel. No, their sole criterion is support for the government of the State of Israel. Those who refuse to submit to the orthodoxy of unquestioning support are branded as naïve, self-haters or, in one especially notorious case (proudly supported by a major national Jewish organization), liberal anti-Semites.
Others before Beinart have suggested that this crisis-driven agenda, symbolized by the enterprise of "Israel advocacy" (on which so many of the community's precious resources have been spent over the last eight years or so), is not working. But no one has documented it as incisively or thoroughly as Beinart. And no one has suggested as clearly that it is liberal Zionism, and liberal Zionism alone, that can save the communal agenda from its worst excesses. Beinart is a true believer in the redemptive power of liberalism, and not only in this case. In 2006, he published a book, "The Good Fight," whose subtitle is "Why Liberals — and Only Liberals — Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again." On the subject of American Jews and Israel, Beinart insists that the Zionist cause can be saved, but only by recovering a measure of moral and political bearing. This means denouncing without apology the racist ideas of Israeli politicians such as Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman or Knesset member Effi Eitam; it also means ceasing to minimize Palestinian suffering or rationalize bad policies or operational failures, as if somehow that serves the cause of Israel.
At its core, Beinart's proposal is eminently sensible. Liberalism, as he intends it, means reclaiming the sane center. It marks itself off from the extreme pole that regards Israel as the chief, even sole, source of evil in the world. It also marks itself off from the pole that regards Israel as incapable of misdeed or injustice. But the main question, at this crucial juncture, is: Can the center hold?
There are reasons to fear that, alas, the answer may be no. In the first instance, it is not merely that the alphabet soup of national Jewish organizations have more or less abandoned their original tasks in favor of apologetic and unreflexive support for the government of Israel, as we've had ample occasion to see in recent days. (We might call this the AIPAC-ization of Jewish communal life).
It is also that this tendency has become deeply rooted in almost every level of organized Jewish life. It has taken hold in the curricula of Jewish schools, where uncritical and often chauvinistic Israel education crowds out a more honest and humane view that acknowledges the rights of Israelis and Palestinians alike. It has taken hold in synagogues across the denominational spectrum, where rabbis race to outdo one another in assembling the largest delegation to the annual AIPAC convention (while almost entirely ignoring pro-Israel, pro-peace groups such as New Israel Fund, J Street and Americans for Peace Now). It has taken hold in the unholy alliances that Jews forge with putative friends outside of the Jewish world who have their own theological motives for supporting obstructionist policies in Israel.
The result of this crisis-driven agenda is the creation of a new type: not simply the Orthodox Jewish patriots of whom Peter Beinart writes, but also non-Orthodox Jews, precisely the kind of liberals whom Beinart wants to empower, who have been prodded by the crisis-driven agenda to embrace a new, single-issue religion: AIPAC-style political support for Israel.
The dictates of this "religion" require that the questionable never be questioned and the indefensible always defended. What is so striking — and sad — about this belief system is not only that it entails a degree of moral abdication from its adherents, a rather un-Jewish proposition in itself. It is that it has been so blindly self-defeating. The support of American Jews — Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike — has enabled one Israeli government after another — Labor no less than Likud — to push ahead with a policy that may well spell the country's own demise. Forty years of settlement construction in the territories, leaving aside the question of whether it does or doesn't violate the Fourth Geneva Convention, may well have reached the point of irreversibility. If Israel cannot uproot the settlements of the West Bank, there will be no territorially viable Palestinian state. And if there will be no Palestinian state, then the region between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea will become one polity: a single entity of Jews and Arabs in which there will either be one-person-one-vote democracy or suppression of one group by the other. Neither outcome bodes well for a Jewish majority in a Jewish state. How did we permit this suicidal engorgement to proceed for 40 years?
Beinart says enough is enough; he delivers a bracing wakeup call in his essay, urging American Jews out of their slumber of self-deception. We had better answer the call now, lest it be too late.
We need a new paradigm of American Jewish communal behavior that is independent-minded, Jewishly grounded and ethically attuned — far more so than the tired one that is disintegrating before our eyes. This new paradigm must reorient our understanding to the point that we grasp that the great test of Israel's soul is not on the college campuses of this country, charged as they may be at times. The test of Israel's soul is in the waters off the coast of Gaza or in Sheikh Jarrah, the East Jerusalem neighborhood where Palestinians have been summarily evicted from their homes of 50 years to make way for Jews. If liberal Zionism — or Zionism of any sort — is to have a chance in this century, it is there that the battle for its soul must be waged.

City Arts & Lectures pays tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman
Published 2:00 pm, Wednesday, February 19, 2014
Philip Seymour Hoffman tribute: The City Arts & Lectures series has put together a free two-day tribute to the great actor, who died too young on Feb. 2 - at age 46 - of an apparent heroin overdose. Only got time to see one? I think the most haunting of his performances is also his most underrated - in the 2003 Canadian film "Owning Mahowny" (5 p.m. Sunday). Based on a true story, it is a harrowing portrayal of addiction - of the gambling kind. Knowing what we know now, one can see he put a lot of himself into this role. Addiction is addiction, after all. Of course, his classic roles - in "Boogie Nights," "Magnolia," "The Master" - are there for the watching as well. Saturday and Sunday at the Nourse Theater, 275 Hayes St., S.F. www.cityarts.net.
Sing Along "Mary Poppins": How could P.L. Travers possibly object to Julie Andrews? A perfect follow-up to seeing "Saving Mr. Banks," this increasingly traditional sing-along shows how Andrews, devastated after she was passed over in favor of Audrey Hepburn for "My Fair Lady" (which Andrews played on Broadway), landed on her feet, with the help of an umbrella, and copped her only Oscar. So while it would have been "loverly" to be Eliza Doolittle, it was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to be Poppins. "It's hard to be churlish about anything when you get that fortunate," Andrews, who got along with Walt Disney better than Travers did, told me in 2006. "I don't know if it was karma or just good luck, but it worked out." Saturday and Sunday at the Castro Theatre, 429 Castro St., S.F. (415) 621-6120. www.castrotheatre.com.
"Hank: 5 Years from the Brink": Former Secretary of the Treasury and Goldman Sachs CEO Hank Paulson tells how the financial crisis went down in 2008, what he tried to do to prevent it and what needs to be done in the future. Is his hindsight 20/20? Starts Friday at the Roxie Theater, 3117 16th St., S.F. (415) 863-1087. www.roxie.com.

7/6/2006–Frederick, MD–Cadets from Maryland and West Virginia completed the 10th annual Aerospace Academy conducted by the Maryland Wing of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) June 17-23 at the U.S. Army's Ft. Detrick and at Frederick Municipal Airport.
The 33 cadets spent seven days in a military atmosphere, focusing on glider flight training as well as other aerospace topics.
Project officer for glider operations, and licensed CAP pilot, Capt. Olin Kinney, provided classroom instruction for the cadets, which included aerodynamics of glider flight, procedures of tow aircraft, glider hook-up, glider flight line operations with emphasis on safety, and the effects of weather conditions on glider and powered flight operations.
Once classroom instruction was completed, each cadet was given the opportunity to receive two front-seat glider flights in an L23 Super Blanik glider trainer, used by CAP and the U.S. Air Force Academy, to experience first hand what they had learned on the ground.
Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie flights took turns visiting the airfield at Frederick Municipal Airport for their glider flights. While at Ft. Detrick, a series of activities was planned to engage cadets in fun and learning.
Ft. Detrick provided CAP with an area for tent camping behind its Odom Physical Fitness Center. CAP also had use of the fitness center, where cadets took part in team-building exercises, a volleyball tournament, and swimming throughout the week. The Detrick Center for Training and Education Excellence was open to academy attendees and staff for classroom use as well. The post dining facility provided meals to the cadets and staff each day.
Cadet Staff Sgt. Isaac Breen-Franklin from the wing's Arundel Composite Squadron served as special assistant to the academy project officer. Breen-Franklin led the cadets in model rocketry classes during the week, where each cadet built their own Estes Alpha rocket. This culminated in a field trip to Sharp's Waterford Farm in Howard County, where cadets held a launch at week's end.
Lt. Col. Jackie Fries from the wing's Frederick Composite Squadron, held a basic communications user class for cadets who had not yet received their radio training. A presentation on "Why go to Mars instead of the Moon" was offered by Capt. Robert Terry, the wing's aerospace education officer.
Cadets also traveled to Virginia, to visit the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, near Dulles Airport.
Some cadets received special training during the week on the proper execution of an end-of-the-day retreat ceremony. The ceremony took place on Thursday evening, and was attended by Col. Mary Deutsch, the U.S. Army garrison commander. She also visited cadets in the classroom during the week, speaking to them about their CAP achievements and how their experiences can prepare them for a career in the military.
At the close of the retreat ceremony, Maj. Gen. Eric B. Schoomaker, commanding general of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, along with Col. Deutsch, presented cadets with souvenir coins and congratulated them on their hard work and dedication to learning about customs and traditions of those serving in the military.
Capt. Mark McLean and Technical Sgt. Dede Dotson, U.S. Air Force Reserve members, were present to ensure that operations were carried out safely. In addition, they provided team building support to cadets through activities and discussions.
The academy closing ceremony was attended by Maj. Bill Parris, the wing's deputy chief of staff. Charlie Flight, commanded by cadet Rob Rollins from the Osprey Composite Squadron, was recognized as honor flight. Cadet Darius Yancey, also of Osprey, received the Honor Cadet award for this activity.
"May we all congratulate the over 30 cadets who completed our Aerospace Academy," Parris said. "The dedication, abilities and week-long dedication to this program is highly commendable. This was a well-planned, well-executed operation that made a great contribution to our cadet flight program.
"Finally, thank you to Lt. Col. Ayres of MER, who both facilitated using a Virginia Wing tow plane and added daily flying expertise to the Academy. Well done all."
Project officer for the academy was 1st Lt. Ron Long from the Mt. Airy Composite Squadron. Long works for the U.S. Army Garrison at Ft. Detrick. This was Lt Long's fifth year coordinating the academy.
The aerospace academy is designed for younger cadets, to provide a first-time camp activity. As a prerequisite for this academy, cadets must have attained the CAP grade of airman prior to the beginning of camp.
Serving at the 2006 Academy were:
Cadet Staff :
Special Assistant to the Project Officer:
Flight Line Cadets:
Glider Pilots:
Tow Pilots:
Air Boss:
Flight Recorder / Administration
Medical Officer:
Senior Member Support:
2006 Academy attendees were as follows:
CAP, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit organization with more than 60,000 members nationwide. CAP volunteers perform 95 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and also perform homeland security, disaster relief and counterdrug missions at the request of federal, state, and local agencies.
Members take a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to the almost 25,000 young people currently participating in the CAP Cadet Program. CAP's cadet programs provide young men and women with a safe and motivating environment in which to grow and explore opportunities in the military and aviation industries. CAP has been performing missions for America for more than 63 years.
There are approximately 1,300 members of CAP in Maryland. Last fiscal year wing members flew 34 search and rescue missions and were credited with 23 finds.

Requirements Regarding the Quality of the Human Resources in Tourism – a Qualitative Analysis in the Counties of Braila and Constanta
A research upon the status of tourism in our country is very useful. Thus, a qualitative analysis was carried out by means of organizing focus groups in the counties of Braila and Constanta. The discussions with the participants to these focus groups referred to the personnel's need for training and lead to the idea that this need represents a necessity of the present. The employers expect that their employees should have practical skills and competences as well as a professional training meant to increase their professional performance.

• Officers issued warrants on a Lancaster woman for criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature on Feb. 11. A 61-year-old man told officers he was hit in the face with a lawn chair by Diane Strain, 56, 206 McCardell St., Lancaster, according to an incident report.

Mackey, who represents City Council District 2, said no roads in his district have received repairs since he was elected more than four years ago.

la nina won't let any noreasters develop.
I always thought stickers would be a good idea for this site. I would have the top of the front windshield stickers. Small normal stickers, and a sticker that would fit across the roof racks available. Sell them for what you bought them for and you will have free advertisment/more site traffic/more advertisement/more money
yeah just what i wast thinking.. and maybe a larger bumper sticker for us guys with trucks for tailgates.

My German Shepherd Dogs have an incredible bloodline known as the Z Pohranicni Straze (Z PS) Bloodline. The kennel Z Pohranicni Straze was established in 1955 for the purpose of producing dogs and training them to protect the people of the Czechoslovakian People's Republic borders and in 1968 the Czech Socialist Republic. Most of these dogs were acquired from the former East Germany (DDR) and Czechoslovakia- the dogs who exemplified the best qualities of the German Shepherd Dog.
This special breeding program was established in 1956 under the direction of Jiri Novotny from 1981 to 2001. He also trained the dogs during this time. The program focused on the power of good bones of the breed, dark pigmentation, strong nerves and willingness to work in tracking, obedience, and defense work. There were 3 breeding facilities with a total of 80 breeding females that made up the Z Pohranicni Straze kennel. They used 30 stud dogs for the 80 females, all on active duty with their handlers. These breeding facilities were located within the Czech Border Police Compounds in Domazlice, Libejovice, and Prackovice. These compounds had a high security status, strictly forbidden to anyone, even the Czech Border Police who did not work at the facility.
The females were bred and puppies whelped, raised and trained all within these breeding stations by military service conscripts. These stations were staffed by trainers, veterinarians, assistant breeders and kennel help. Once trained, the Pohranicni Straze dogs were assigned a handler and primarily patrolled the border with Germany and Austria to prevent Czechoslovakians and any others from within the East Block from escaping.
The dogs were trained at the kennels for 12 months and afterwards relocated to Border Patrol facilities in their quarters. Today, they are located in Czech training facilities.
During the years under the communist regime, the Czeckoslovakian Border Patrol and their dogs would apprehend 20-30 people on a daily basis. While 9 out of 10 would give up when confronted, the dogs were regularly called upon to defend their handlers from those intent on crossing the border at whatever cost.
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the Czech Border Police shared border stations with their German counterparts who maintained a tight control over economical refugees from the former Eastern Block entering Germany. While you would think that the falling of the Iron Curtain might lessen the vigilance at the borders, you would be wrong. The need for these Border Patrol Dogs increased. Those who were not given Visa's to legally enter Germany attempted to cross this Czech border. While many were crossing to seek a better life in Western Europe and usually did not resist arrest, an increasing number were connected with organized crime and posed a considerable threat.
The Z Pohranicni Straze German Shepherd Dogs were continued to be called upon to respond daily in high risk, threatening situations. The training courses to prepare them were as demanding as their requirements for breeding.
Since 2001, after the retirement of Jiri Novotny from the Czech Republic Police, the name of the kennel changed from Z Pohranicini Straze to Od Policie Ceske Republiky. The breeding program of this kennel has changed substantially. The remaining dogs from the original kennel are now owned by Jinopo.
Obtaining a Z Pohranicni Straze Dog (I am so blessed to have this line of dog)
- The Z Pohranicni Straze kennel dogs were rarely but sometimes bred with civilian dogs. The civilian could either pay the kennel or keep an offspring in which they usually chose the latter in order to own a Z Pohranicni dog.
- There were 3 kennels that worked closely with the Z Pohranicni Straze kennel. These kennels were allowed to whelp the dog and keep half of the litter in order to own the Z Pohranicni name
- The Z Pohranicni kennel would often trade dog for dog to bring different quality dogs into their kennel for their desired bloodlines to produce a more impressive bloodline.
Through these 3 ways civilians had access to the Z Pohranicni Straze German Shepherds and the kennel managed to be at the center of breeding in both Czechoslovakia and the present day Czech Republic. Many of these dogs have been purchased by Schutzund competitors and are highly ranked in competition and show in Western Europe and the United States.
All of the individual dogs used in the breeding program have at least velmi dobry (very good) body conformation, strong bones, good pigmentation and strong health. They also are significant in their high food drive, high working drives, and early working maturity. The selection of their stud dogs and females is focused on their trainability, solid nerves and ability to protect their territory. The males and females come from the 6 basic bloodlines, or more precisely from their individual branches that proved themselves in the breeding program of former Z Pohranicni Straze kennel. Today this blood is combined with the blood of significant working German Shepherds from outside the Czech Republic that have proved themselves in the breeding programs and have the above described breeding features and traits.

I was worried I might have another heart complication, and there's still a possibility something is amiss there. I see the cardiologist again on Thursday for more tests. But, as it turns out, the symptoms may be due to over activity: I've now lost a full 50 pounds since last Dec, plus gained probably five or six pounds of good lean muscle in the bargain. That didn't happen by accident; at age 51, post heart surgery and suffering from a disabling form of rheumatoid arthritis, it's a thin line to walk between healthy exercise and repetitive injury.
I've been having some really ugly pains in both bottom ribs, especially on the right, wrapping all the way around to my spine like a band of red hot steel sometimes. Which might not sound too worrisome as far as sides from a heart pax perspective, except when I had the freak heart attack last year it did manifest itself in nearly the same region. My concern is the AS (Anklyosing spondalitis) may be messing with the stent, or its closing up on its own, causing growing pain in a similar place. But I was just told it's equally likely over working my middle-aged body played a big role. Workouts which happen to include an insane amount of ab work because, well I'll just admit it, I'm insecure and a decent six-pack makes me feel a tiny bit better. Plus, regular exercise is one of the best ways to treat AS. Alas, that practice may have caused a separation in the myriad rib-ab connections and AS exacerbated it.
But if that's all it is, that I can handle, with ease.
They say you can never be too rich or too thin. One of the few silver linings of my sudden plunge into poverty is I only eat what I should. Ergo, I'm getting thin. I won't ever be rich. But knowing that dozens of nameless faceless strangers, some of whom I've no doubt offended over the years, still cared enough to kick in to support me and this crazy atheist blogging habit, is not a bad substitute at all. It feels real good man. Thanks.

Joe Allen explains how his move from Liverpool has boosted his form for Stoke and Wales
He said: "It's an exciting time at Stoke with the signings the club has made, and that was one of the big reasons I was happy to join. That was music to my ears.
"When I talked to Mark Hughes he had a few selling points, retaining the key players they had and actively seeking to bring more quality in.
"Now everybody is talking about the impact Wilfried Bony could have, and having talked to the boys who played with him at Swansea I'm looking forward to getting back there and playing alongside him."
Bony will make his debut against Spurs on Saturday, and Allen said: "It's a chance for us to show what we can do.
"The club have finished ninth for three years running and they are not happy to settle for that. They are looking to build even more."

Can law help to prevent cancer and to improve cancer treatment? How, exactly?
8 July 2010
These were the major themes explored in a unique, inter-disciplinary conference convened by Sydney Law School, the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), and Sydney Medical School, exploring the role of law and regulation in cancer prevention and treatment, both nationally and globally.
Preventing cancer, promoting global health and development
The keynote oration for the conference, on 10 June, was presented by Professor Robert Beaglehole, former Director of the Department of Chronic Disease and Health Promotion at the World Health Organisation. Chaired by the Dean of Medicine, Professor Bruce Robinson, the oration also featured Mr Mark Dreyfus QC, MP, Chair of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs.
Mr Dreyfus opened the conference by reviewing Australia's experience with tobacco regulation, including the recent initiative by the Rudd government to increase the tobacco excise by 25% from April, and to move to plain packaging by 2012. Mr Dreyfus' opening words were recalled the next day by Patricia Lambert, Director of the Legal Consortium at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Washington D.C.: "Government has a moral obligation to use its powers to protect its citizens". Personal liberty is important, and a responsible approach involves a careful and sometimes controversial balancing exercise.
In his keynote address, Professor Beaglehole pointed to the heavy global and economic burden of non-communicable diseases, including cancer, and the importance of regulation and legislation to the protection and improvement of population health. On the global scale, cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes vastly outweigh the number of annual deaths caused by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, although this is not well recognized. Between 2005 and 2030, cancer deaths are expected to increase from 7.5 million to 11.4 million, largely due to the spread of risk factors for cancer, and population ageing. In addition to tobacco - which alone is responsible for 1.8 million deaths each year - Professor Beaglehole pointed to the global impact of alcohol misuse, obesity and poor diet, and the need for effective regulation of both the food and alcohol industries.
Professor Beaglehole pointed out that at the global level, cancer has been seriously neglected, including cancer prevention. The World Economic Forum's Global Risk Landscape 2010 identifies chronic disease as one of the most severe risks in terms of economic consequences (exceeded only by oil price spikes, asset price collapse and major retrenchments in developed economies), and also as one of the risks considered most likely to materialize. Professor Beaglehole pointed out, however, that the high-level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on non-communicable diseases, scheduled for September 2011, represents a golden opportunity to recognise and integrate cancer and other non-communicable diseases into the architecture for global health beyond 2015. By regulating cancer risk factors, governments can help to protect future generations from preventable cancers, while also making impressive inroads into deaths and disability from heart disease and stroke, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Legislate, regulate, litigate? Legal perspectives on cancer prevention and treatment
At the conference on 11 June, nine speakers explored a wide range of topics relating to law's capacity to prevent cancer and to improve cancer treatment. These papers are to be published as a symposium in a future issue of Public Health, the Journal of the Royal Society for Public Health in the United Kingdom.
Patricia Lambert,Director of the Legal Consortium at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Washington D.C. reviewed experience with the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), and considered whether it provides a model for dealing with other cancer risk factors. In her view, the tobacco, alcohol and food industries - despite their differences - tend to respond in a similar way to the prospect of tighter regulation: they emphasise that their products are legal, they emphasise the primacy of adult choice, and the certainty that regulation will cause job losses. They offer partnerships, both nationally and regionally, although this tends to weaken governments' commitment to regulation. Ms Lambert praised the Australian government's decision to require plain packaging of tobacco, calling it a "signal to the world that this government is not going to be intimidated by the tobacco industry".
Sarah Mackay, Legal Policy Adviser to the Obesity Policy Coalition based at the Cancer Council Victoria, spoke more specifically of the role that improved food labeling could have in helping to encourage healthier eating patterns, and the need to regulate the advertising of food products of poor nutritional content. She called attention to the independent review of food labeling commissioned by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). While food labeling alone is unlikely to have a major impact on obesity rates, it is an important starting point: it helps to prevent misleading marketing, it informs consumers, encourages healthier food choices and the re-formulation of healthier food products by industry.
Alcohol is responsible for around 500,000 cancer deaths each year, but the "very powerful, entrenched alcohol industry" has been largely successful in resisting the kinds of legislative controls on advertising and promotion that are needed. Professor Robert Beaglehole floated the need for a Framework Convention on Alcohol Control, building on the recent WHO Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol (endorsed by the World Health Assembly, 21 May 2010). Recognising the difficulty, in political terms, of strengthening the regulation of alcohol, Professor Beaglehold pointed out that alcohol is not only a major cause of cancer and chronic disease, but of road traffic accidents and injuries, domestic violence, and intoxication-related crimes. He pointed to a range of interventions transferable from tobacco to alcohol, including price (an excise tax graded by volume of ethanol), the regulation of advertising moving towards a sponsorship ban, and packaging and labeling that warns of the health impacts of excessive consumption.
Professor Roger Magnusson from Sydney Law School, a co-convenor of the conference, presented a conceptual model for understanding and locating the opportunities for law in the prevention of cancer and other chronic diseases. Public health lawyers and regulators need a workable model that not only identifies the main determinants of disease and the key settings for interventions, but a map of the legal strategies that law can adopt, and an appreciation of the contribution that different tiers of government can make within a federal system.
An understanding of World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules is critical to effective national policies. A/Professor Tania Voon from Melbourne Law School, delivering a paper written jointly with A/Professor Andrew Mitchell, reviewed the key WTO Agreements and the extent to which they potentially constrain - or may sometimes support - national efforts to address products and policies that contribute to cancer and cancer risks.
Associate Professor Bebe Loff, Director of the Michael Kirby Centre for Public Health & Human Rights at Monash University, opened with a powerful quote from Alicia Aly Yamin:
"A rights perspective forces us to see the suffering that is not the result of "natural" biological causes but rather stems from human choices about policies, priorities, and cultural norms, about how we treat each other and what we owe each other".
Professor Loff questioned the extent to which the World Cancer Declaration of the International Union Against Cancer aligns with the priority causes of death and disability in the poorest countries in the world. She pointed to the Alma-Ata Declaration, emphasizing the importance of non-discriminatory access to health services, minimum essential food, basic shelter, sanitation and a potable water supply, access to essential drugs, and a national public health strategy that gives due attention to the needs of marginalized and vulnerable groups.
Professor Ian Olver, CEO of the Cancer Council Australia, pointed to a diverse range of legal and regulatory barriers to optimal treatment for Ausralian cancer patients. These include the potential for privacy law to undermine the collection of data by cancer registries; discrepancies between the timing of the regulatory process for approval of new drugs targeting gene-specific cancers and tests for the gene target; the privatisation of the human genome through the patenting of genes and of tests for genes; the governance of clinical trials; and the need for the future cancer workforce to include physicians assistants and nurse practitioners. Professor Olver called for the Australian Patents Act 1990 to be amended, arguing that "We believe the process of isolating or purifying genetic materials is an act of discovery, not invention".
Mr Jonathan Liberman,Senior Legal Policy Adviser, International Union Against Cancer, pointed to the fact that 5 billion people in the world have low or no access to opioid analgesics, and no or insufficient access to treatment for moderate to severe pain. 84% of the world's morphine is consumed by high income countries representing less than 10% of the world's population. There are a number of causes of low global opioid availability. An important one is regulation that focuses excessively on preventing diversion and misuse at the expense of ensuring adequate availability. This imbalance is seen both within many countries and in the activities of the main agencies of the international drug regulatory system. Mr Liberman also discussed the relationship between international intellectual property law and access to cancer treatment. As the cancer burden continues to shift to low- and middle-income countries, increasing global attention will be focused on the tensions between patents and access to affordable cancer drugs.
A/Professor Cameron Stewart, Director of Sydney Law School's Centre for Health Governance pointed to the institutionalised context in which the majority of Australians will die, and to the role of law in providing an environment that encourages the best death possible. He was strongly critical of the different ways in which advance health care directives are treated in different states, arguing "should your capacity to be involved in your treatment be dictated by where you live, or where you get sick?" Although Australian law recognises substitute decision-makers when a person becomes incompetent due to illness, there are nevertheless nine different systems, a problem Professor Stewart summarised as "too many laws, too much uncertainty". Professor Stewart called for uniform, Australia-wide legislation, initiated through the Australian Health Ministers Advisory Committee (AHMAC) as one response to what he termed logo iatrogenesis, or "lawyer-made sickness".
If I were king or queen for a day, what would I do for cancer prevention and treatment?
The final session of the conference was a panel discussion moderated by Professor Simon Chapman, Professor of Public Health at the University of Sydney, entitled: If I were king or queen for a day, what would I do forcancer prevention and treatment. Well known for his advocacy in tobacco control, Professor Chapman reviewed the progress that has been made since 1973, through pack warnings, advertising bans, smoke-free restrictions, retail pack display bans, tax increases, and most recently plain packaging. Professor Chapman then acknowledged the reality of inertia and resistance to change in public health regulation, quoting F.W. Cornford:
"Every public action which is not customary either is wrong, or if it is right it is a dangerous precedent. It follows that nothing should ever be done for the first time".
If, however, public and political will exists to drive smoking rates below 15%, what are some of innovative ideas and concepts that public health advocates should begin to debate? At the present time, any adult in Australia can lawfully smoke, and yet knowledge of the harms and risks of smoking varies widely. Should smokers be licensed, Professor Chapman wondered? Should intending smokers be required to complete a program of education before making the "informed choice" to smoke?
Professor Chapman then challenged panel members to nominate their top priorities for cancer prevention. Professor Margaret Hamilton pointed to the importance of uncoupling alcohol from national competition policies, using a modified volumetric approach to alcohol taxation (with graded incentives for low-alcohol products), and regulating alcohol advertising and sponsorship. She called for more community involvement in liquor licensing decisions, and in calling for evidence supported measures to respond to intoxication and other forms of alcohol-related harm. Professor Hamilton pointed out that Australian corporations are major exporters of alcohol to the Pacific island countries and suggested that regulators should explore ways of ensuring that they operate within guidelines that would be acceptable in our own communities.
Professor Bonita ONZM spoke about calls by Maori leaders for a smoke-free New Zealand, and emphasised the need to continue working towards elminating demand for tobacco, not just tobacco "control". She then issued a challenge to the University of Sydney: go smoke free. If the University of Auckland can do it, why not the University of Sydney? Pointing to the depth of expertise in public health policy and advocacy at the University, Professor Beaglehole also challenged the University to make "concrete commitments" to "lead at the global level" in the prevention of cancer and other non-communicable diseases".

Last week, John Baez posted a report on a seminar by Dzimitry Matsukevich on ion trap quantum information issues. In the middle of this, he writes:
Once our molecular ions are cold, how can we get them into specific desired states? Use a mode locked pulsed laser to drive stimulated Raman transitions.
Huh? As far as I can tell, this means "blast our molecular ion with an extremely brief pulse of light: it can then absorb a photon and emit a photon of a different energy, while itself jumping to a state of higher or lower energy."
I saw this, and said "Hey, that's a good topic for a blog post." And on Friday, the new issue of Physical Review Letters included a new paper on just this topic (arxiv version for those without subscription access), making it a good topic for a ResearchBlogging post. So,
So, what's this all about? The paper reports on a new way of moving atoms from one state to another much faster than is possible with more typical methods. This is potentially useful for speeding up the operation of a quantum computer.
Transition speeds are critically important for quantum computing, because all quantum information processing systems are subject to some interactions with the environment that will eventually destroy the quantum character of the information through the process known as "decoherence." If you do a really good job, you can get decoherence times that are measured in seconds, which sets an upper limit on the number of operations you can do with a simple system before decoherence kills you (you can do quantum error correction to extend that, but then things start to get complicated). If you can do your state-change operations in 50 picoseconds rather than tens or hundred of microseconds, you can pack a lot more computing into that same amount of time.
And this works by making atoms absorb photons and then emit them? Right. The sort of transition they use to do these operations is called a "Raman transition" after the Indian physicist and Nobel laureate C. V. Raman who worked out some of the quantum properties of the interaction between light and atoms. A Raman transition makes use of the fact that there are three different ways for atoms to interact with photons and change states.
There are? Yes, there are. An atom in a low-energy state can absorb a photon of the appropriate energy, and use that energy to move to a higher energy state, which is just called "absorption." An atom placed in a high-energy state will eventually drop down to a lower energy of its own accord, in the process of "spontaneous emission." And an atom in a high energy state that encounters a photon of the appropriate energy can be induced to emit a second photon of the same energy, and drop down to a lower energy level. This last process is called "Stimulated Emission," and accounts for the "SE" in the word "laser", which started life as an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation."
Isn't that kind of weird? Not really. It seems less obvious than the others to the casual observer, but it's actually very easy to explain mathematically. You get stimulated emission very naturally from even a semi-classical model of light and atoms. Spontaneous emission is the difficult one to explain, though that's a topic for another post.
OK, so these Raman transitions, what are they? The specific case of interest is a "stimulated Raman transition," which is a subset of Raman transitions in general, as illustrated in this figure:
Horizontal lines indicate different states of an atom or molecule, with the energy increasing as you move up. The vertical lines indicate absorption or emission of photons. A Raman transition is one in which the atom absorbs a photon of one energy, and emits a photon of another energy, ending up in a different low-energy state than it started in.
A stimulated Raman transition is one where the downward step takes place through stimulated emission– that is, after the atom has absorbed one photon, a second photon of a slightly different frequency comes along and stimulates it to emit an identical photon, and move down to a lower energy state. You can end up in a higher state than you started by absorbing a photon of one energy, and emitting a slightly lower energy, or you can end up in a lower energy state by absorbing at one energy, and emitting at slightly higher energy. These are called "Stokes" and "anti-Stokes" processes for historical reasons that don't really matter.
So you excite the atoms with one pulse of light, then send in a second pulse of light, and knock them back down? That's the basic idea. It's a little more complicated than that, though, because if you do it right, you never put the atoms in the excited state– they go up, and immediately come back down. That's why the upper states are labeled "Virtual Energy States" in the figure– you detune the lasers so they don't quite have enough energy to reach the excited state, but the two photons connect to the same "virtual" state at a lower energy.
You can do that? It lowers the rate at which the process happens quite a bit, but you can compensate for it by cranking up the intensity. If you use a strong enough light pulse, and a big enough detuning, you can move all the atoms from one low-energy state to another without ever occupying the excited state.
And you do this, why? Because if the atoms are ever in the excited state, there's a probability that they can decay spontaneously, which is disastrous if you're trying to do quantum information processing, because you have no control over where the atoms ends up in spontaneous decay.
No, I mean, why not just go directly from one low-energy state to the other? Why mess around with the upper state at all? Ah. The answer there is speed. It's much faster to use a Raman transition in the visible or ultraviolet than to do any kind of direct excitation.
Why is that? Well, a couple of reasons. First of all, depending on the low-energy states you're using, the transition may be "forbidden" by one rule or another– it might require a change in the angular momentum or other properties that can't be managed with simple absorption. This means you need either really massive amounts of power, or a long time to move from one to the other.
Another reason is that the absorption process necessarily requires a time that is longer than the time for the light associated with the transition to oscillate. If you're dealing with low-energy states like hyperfine ground states, these frequencies are in the radio frequency range, which limits you to transition times in the microseconds or many nanoseconds range. Optical frequencies are something like six orders of magnitude faster, which would let you do transitions in picoseconds.
Which is what they do here? Exactly. They take a trapped Ytterbium ion, and blast it with a picosecond pulse from a laser tuned near the transition frequency between the ground state and one of the excited states. When they arrange the frequency and polarization properly (splitting the pulse in two, and rotating the polarization of one before sending it onto the ion), they can transfer the atom from one ground state to the other (separated by 12 GHz) with a single 50 ps pulse.
That's pretty fast. Yes, yes it is. Of course, this doesn't mean you'll be building a 20 GHz quantum computer any time soon– there's a lot of other stuff that goes into a quantum computer that would require some additional time– but this shows that, in principle at least, you can do the necessary state changes extremely quickly. Which is nothing to sneeze at.

Review for Women in Film & Video Inc, Washington, DC, USA
The fantastic members of WIFV-DC have introduced me to the art, science, and business of screenwriting and filmmaking. I'm working to make my dream cone true of producing a film about one of my ancestors. It's quite an adventure--both his story and my venture into filmmaking. Everyone is supportive and encouraging. With several WIFV members' help. I made a short docudrama called "When Was the War of 1812?" that you can see on YouTube. What do you know about the War of 1812? You can find out!
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
... get more sponsors who could help pay to bring in more working professionals from Los Angels and New York for Script DC--the anual screenwriting conference--and to honor more Women of Vision in motion pictures from around the country.

I happened upon Mr. Pinecone while ice climbing and gave him "the axe" before realizing that he was there. Seems that he played 'possum for a bit too long during the SoCal freeze/thaw evolution - entombed in beautiful blue ice until Spring.

Kansas Highway Patrol expects tickets to decline as speed limits increase July 1 to 75 mph on some highways
Boosting speed limits on more than 800 miles of state and federal highways to 75 mph likely will reduce the number of tickets issued, at least during the next few months, the Kansas Highway Patrol says.
But don't expect drivers to stay off the accelerators for long.
"Based on our experience in the past, when the speed limit is increased we see a time period of adjustment where traffic actually is moving slower than the posted limit," said Technical Trooper Mark Engholm, a patrol spokesman. "It's their comfort level.
"We'll have to wait six months, maybe a year, to see what effect this has. It's new territory. We'll see what happens."
The clock starts ticking on Thursday, when crews from the Kansas Department of Transportation begin riveting 276 metal plates — each featuring a fresh new "75" — onto existing 70 mph signs along 583 miles of state and federal highways being adjusted.
The Kansas Turnpike Authority, meanwhile, will begin affixing new 5s over 0s that same day on 90 signs along a 224-mile stretch of the turnpike, from the Oklahoma border all the way to the Kansas Highway 7 interchange at Bonner Springs.
The stretch includes about seven miles cutting through the Lawrence area, carrying an average of more than 28,000 vehicles per day.
Michael Johnston, the turnpike's CEO, doesn't expect driver speeds to increase dramatically, but the authority is conducted speed studies now at a handful of sites along the turnpike. Studies will be repeated this fall, to provide comparison data about drivers' comfort levels.
Johnston, for one, figures the so-called "85th percentile" speed — the speed at which 85 percent of drivers are traveling at or below — might rise by 2 or 3 miles per hour in areas with the new 75 mph limit. That's the speed, according to engineers, that drivers feel comfortable traveling.
"I drive a certain speed on the turnpike, and I'm not going to increase my speed at all," Johnston said.
The new speed limit will go into effect in Kansas on 807 miles of state and federal highways, including the turnpike. That's less than 10 percent of the nearly 10,000 miles of highways and freeways running throughout the state, a total system in which the Kansas Highway Patrol wrote 65,847 speeding tickets and issued 71,741 warnings for speeding.
For illustration's sake, the patrol would need to write 234 additional tickets — each with a $45 fine for going up to 10 mph over the posted speed limit, not including court costs — to cover the state's added expense for updating signs. Not that the patrol worries about the revenue side.
Legislators didn't allocate additional money to change the signs, but the Kansas Department of Transportation isn't complaining.
"They did authorize a new program again last year," said Steve Swartz, a department spokesman, referring to the $8 billion T-Works program that will finance projects for the next 10 years, "so we're happy with that."

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Richard Childress Racing teammates Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton led the way in Saturday's final practice for the Daytona 500.
During the early stages of practice, Bowyer and Burton posted identical lap speeds at 200.316 m.p.h. around the newly-paved 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway. The RCR duo were hooked up in a two-car draft when they posted their quickest laps. They were the only drivers who topped the 200 m.p.h. mark.
Burton won the second of last Thursday's two qualifying races for the Daytona 500, earning him the fourth starting position for NASCAR's most prestigious race of the season. Bowyer finished only 0.005 seconds behind Burton in that qualifier to give him the sixth spot in the Daytona 500.
Brad Keselowski was third quickest at 199.751 m.p.h., followed by Robby Gordon and Kurt Busch, who won the Budweiser Shootout one week ago and the first Daytona 500 qualifying race.
Regan Smith, Marcos Ambrose, David Ragan, Michael Waltrip, making his 25th consecutive start in the Daytona 500, and Martin Truex Jr. were sixth through 10th, respectively.
There were no incidents during the 90-minute practice.
Six drivers elected not to participate in the session. Among them were five-time defending Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson, as well as former series champions Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart.
Sunday's Daytona 500 is scheduled to start just after 1:00 p.m. (ET).

Steve Chiotakis: The Greek Prime Minister, George Papandreou, has formally asked for help. His country is mired in debt and it hasn't been able to borrow to pay off that debt. And the next step here is for the European Union and International Monetary Fund to pull the trigger on a more than $50 billion aid package. Marketplace Europe correspondent Stephen Beard is with us live from London with the very latest. Hi Stephen.
Stephen Beard: Hello, Steve.
Chiotakis: We've been hearing about the Greek troubles now for months and months. So what triggered today's official request?
Beard: The government in Athens had no choice but to request this loan package, which was already agreed. Things have gone from bad to worse for Greece in recent days -- figures out yesterday showed a budget deficit almost 14 percent, much worse than expected. Moody's, the rating agency, cut its credit rating. And the interest rate on 10-year government bonds hit almost 9 percent. Simon Tilford of the Center for European Reform says that's unsustainable:
Simon Tilford: Interest rates of that level are ruinous for Greece. Basically the markets are saying this country is effectively insolvent.
Chiotakis: So Stephen, if they get this money, will that save the day?
Beard: Well if they do get this loan package, Tilford says it'll get Greece through the immediate crisis; Athens will be able to, for the rest of the year, borrow from a lower rate than investors are prepared to lend out. But the fundmental problem remains. Investors want Greece to cut its deficit. The country is cutting public spending to get the deficit down, but that's making the recession worse. That means lower tax revenues and that means bigger budget deficit. The country's caught in a vicious cycle; it's a downward spiral, which Tilford says can only end in default.
Chiotakis: All right. Marketplace's Stephen Beard with that, reporting live from London this morning. Thanks Stephen.
Beard: OK, Steve.

Longest Dow winning streak since 1996 ends
U.S. stocks fell Friday, ending the longest winning streak for the Dow Jones industrial average in nearly 17 years.
The Dow dropped 25.03 points to 14,514.11. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 0.16 percent, to 1,560.70. The Nasdaq composite index dropped 0.3 percent, to 3,249.07.
The S&P 500 closed just five points below its all-time closing high of 1,565, reached in October 2007. On Thursday the Dow closed out a 10-day winning streak, its longest since November 1996.
The string of wins pushed the Dow up 484.65 points, or 3.4 percent, to a Thursday close of 14,539.14. The index's closing price on Feb. 28, just before the rally began, was 14,054.49.
Trading Friday was tentative because investors fear that rising inflation will cause the Federal Reserve to retreat from policies aimed at boosting markets. The government said that consumer prices increased in February at the fastest pace in more than three years.
The increase was driven by a spike in gas prices; the core index, which excludes the volatile energy and food categories, increased more modestly. But both figures rose 2 percent compared with a year earlier, enough to get investors' attention, said Peter Tchir, who runs the hedge fund TF Market Advisors.-- AP

See the "Getting There" Section on the Main Page. Use the Upper Fourmile Road Trailhead:
Travel US 24 to the town of Divide, and turn south on CO 67 South (not to be confused with CO 67 North, which goes from Woodland Park, 8 miles away).
Go 4.25 miles from this turn to a poorly signed left turn onto the Upper Fourmile Road. On the way, you will pass a turn for Mueller State Park. Once you pass the park, look sharp for a sign that says, "Rocky Mountain Camp," and then another sign 100 meters from there for, "Crags Campground." Turn left here. There is a ranch here with horses. Cross a small bridge, and begin to travel uphill on the dirt road. The road is rough, but passable for passenger cars. If you travel here in winter, expect the road to be plowed, but don't count on it. This road gets icy. This road also goes to the popular Crags Campground and the trailhead for the alternate trail to Pikes Peak.
Travel 1.1 miles up this road until you reach a sharp switchback. You will see a gate straight ahead with a small pulloff. Park here. This is the trail head. The road beyond the gate is prohibited to motor vehicles.
Route Description
Begin past the Trailhead and walk up the old road. Follow this road to the top of a ridge, where you will intersect another old road. Take a right (east) onto this more heavily traveled old road / trail. This trail is easy to follow.
Follow this trail for about two miles to where it ends near Raspberry Mountain. At this point, a single track trail continues to the summit. Follow this small trail until you see the boulder-covered summit of Raspberry Mountain. At this point, work to the left (west) side of the summit, and look sharp for the easiest way to the top. The easiest way to the top will involve a move or two of easy scrambling. Take your time and find the easiest way up. If you feel like you are moving into the realm of technical climbing, retreat and find another way.
(Refer to accompanying photos, map, and elevation profile.)
Enjoy the expansive views in all directions, and especially, the view of Pikes Peak. If you live in Teller County, try to find your house!
Round Trip Mileage: 5.6 miles
Elevation Gain: 1,200 feet
Time: Fit Hikers can make it in about 2 1/2 or 3 hours. Add about an hour in winter (or more, depending on conditions).
Essential Gear
Standard hiking gear in the summer.
Winter climbers will appreciate snowshoes, and standard winter gear.
Miscellaneous Info
If you have information about this route that doesn't pertain to any of the other sections, please add it here.

Does our blood supply take in more oxygen through breathing deeply when the Weather is Colder or Hotter?
I have taken flying lessons. I did every thing but solo. I know there is more oxygen in the air when it is cold. The partials are further apart when it is hot it takes more distance on the runway to get up in the air when the air is hot.
It all depends on your tidal volume...the altitude you live in, air quality..and, if you are acclimated to the climate you find yourself in.

these effect your number of circulating red blood cells..as they carry the oxygen thruout your circulatory system.
Wow, you are so aware. What do you take to be so smart!
I was an open heart surgery nurse. they daily change the heartlung bypass machines, and between all surgeries.,using also the barometric pressures.
a measurement of the volume of your lung capacity..numbers are based in..tides..for both inhalation, and expiration..the force , another factor..am I getting an acknowlegement on your term paper, haha, no, just kidding..while on a respirator, lung machine, ..all of this is monitored, including your sighs, a very crucial part of breathing..
who cares?
well..look at all the answers you got!!!!

In 2009, Nike released a collection of Nike Trainers with Bo Jackson's 'Tecmo Bo' in mind. For those of you uncertain with the term, Tecmo Bo comes from 'Tecmo Bowl', a side-scrolling football arcade game in which Bo Jackson was simply unstoppable as a playable character. His pixelated logo can be seen on the tongue of those releases, one of which wasn't this Air Trainer II colorway. A combination of Light Bone, White, Scuba Blue, and Midnight Navy was created with the Tecmo Bo logo, but these actually never went into production, unfortunately. These is a size 9 sample available for purchase, so check out the images below and pick up this rare pair from solesupremacysales on eBay.

In May of 2009, Tony Bloom became the Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club chairman officially succeeding its former president Harry Dick Knight. How that came to be is the story for today.
The professional association football club founded in June 24, 1901 and based in East Sussex in England, more popularly known as the "Seagulls", currently plays in the Championship, the second tier of the English football league system. Its current squad consists of goalkeepers Niki Mäenpää, David Stockdale and Casper Ankergren; defenders Bruno Saltor Grau, Uwe Hünemeier, Lewis Dunk, Gaëtan Bong, Connor Goldson and Liam Rosenior; midfielders Dale Stephens, Beram Kayal, Jamie Murphy, Jake Forster-Caskey, Solly March, Danny Holla, Rohan Ince, Anthony Knockaert and Richie Towell as well as forwards Sam Baldock, Tomer Hemed and Chris O'Grady and is being managed by retired Irish mixed-race professional footballer Christopher William Gerard "Chris" Hughton.
Tony's association with it began in 1970 at the time of his birth. You see, he was born to a family of Seagull fans. As a kid, he would often watch matches at the Goldstone Ground and would travel by train for away games with his family and friends. His passion for the sport and the club was nurtured at a very early age. As a matter of fact, his grandfather Harry was deputy chair to Mike Bamber in that same decade. His uncle Ray later on became one of its directors and investors by the 1980s.
Tony, born as Anthony Grant, went on to study at Lancing College. After which, he attended the Manchester University where he finished a degree in mathematics. By 1993, he was already working as an options trader at accountancy firm Earnest & Young. But perhaps business was really in his blood as he left the post not long after and went on to take various investments and business ventures.
His entrepreneurial undertakings were very eventful to say the least that in the year 2000, he managed to follow in his family's footsteps. He became one of Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.'s major investors and stockholders. And as mentioned earlier, Tony Bloom became its chairman by 2009 after buying majority share and succeeding Harry Dick Knight. Perhaps his two biggest accomplishments lie in the two projects he helped finance: the £93 million 30,750 capacity American Express Community Stadium and the fully equipped American Express Elite Football Performance Centre.

Yesterday's huge find went to DOY flagbearer & chopbuster Dan Walker. Today's huge find belongs to Andrew Johnson:
So I was looking back at the videos from the playoff run last year to remind myself how much Montreal sucks, and I noticed something: After Pouliot made his little booboo on Boychuk and Ferrence goes after him, I never noticed this before, but after the fight between them, if you listen very closely, you can hear Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme song on the P.A.
Ference 3:16 for life.
The fight.
Theme song to compare.
The fight happened just a few days before Ference's glove mishap. It's like Montreal trolled itself in advance. Like we said: Huge find.
For those who are new to DOY and don't understand the Ference 3:16 story and reference you gotta catch up here and here.
