Los Angeles - A woman pushing a baby in a stroller across railroad tracks was hit and killed by a train but managed to shove the stroller to safety just in time to save the infant, authorities said.
The woman was trying to walk through the crossing in Riverside, California on Saturday evening when the stroller became stuck in the tracks, police said. She managed to free the stroller, but she couldn't escape the oncoming commuter train.
"She didn't quite make it," Riverside police sergeant Dan Warren said. "The baby's fine, but she got hit."
He did not have further details, including the woman's identity and her connection to the child.
Passenger Joseph Avila said he and the several dozen other passengers on the train going from Oceanside to San Bernardino in southern California did not feel the collision.
He told KCAL-TV that the train stopped and a conductor said there had been a fatality.
Both police and railroad officials were investigating the collision.
a few hundred tons of metal hits less than a hundred kilograms of soft flesh and they expect to feel a collision?

Hello! I am a early 20's US female and have never before been to Europe. I'll be in Italy from Sept. 8-18, flight is already booked. Budget is about ~$600-800 USD for the trip. I speak no Italian but am fluent in English and Spanish. My interests are: smaller towns, oceans, walking everywhere, possibly hiking/trails if possible, culture/Vatican City. I don't really care much about actual art museums or shopping but I do like architecture and I like seeing legitimate/off-the-beaten-path culture. This is a short trip, I know, but I'm trying to figure out how to plan it so I get the most out of it without feeling rushed.
Sept 8: Arrive in Rome 8am
Sept 18: Leave Rome 6am.
Thoughts on where to travel?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Does your budget include lodging? Granted my hostel days are long behind me, but that still seems tight. I'd start by looking into accommodations.
It may be helpful to add how many days you wish to spend in Rome. Beyond that, the options are so numerous it is hard to venture a guess.

I've narrowed it down a bit and want to incorporate hiking into my trip. Here's my thought:
Main question - how will the hiking be in September? Is it safe for a single female who doesn't speak Italian? Thank you.

Your budget is indeed very limited. USD 800 is around EUR 70 per day, out of which you have to pay for lodging, eating, local travelling and the occasional entry tickets.
Flying in and out of Rome adds to the cost (and eats in your limited time). Try to find flights into Venice and out of Rome or vice versa.
I'm a little bit amazed finding Cinque Terre on your list. It's very much a beaten path, more suited for those taking a cruise than for someone of your age and with your independence.
Some years ago I have done some nice walking between those hilltowns in Tuscany, such as Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano.
And don't worry about your being a solo female traveller. Tens of thousands do it every year, without any harm.

Budget is about ~$600-800 USD for the trip.>
per day? No way for the whole trip not even counting air fare.
Taking trains? You should if traveling solo and going to those car-unfriendly places - check www.trenitalia.com for fares and discounts if you book far in advance- for lots on Italian trains check www.ricksteves.com; www.budgeteuropetravel.com and www.seat61.com- latter has good info on discounted tickets.
I'd take a day of the Cinque Terre and put it in Rome or even stop by Florence for a day's look. If weather is wet - as can be then hiking is a wash-out and there is not much there there in those small even at that time heavily touristed small towns.
Report Abuse
I already booked the flight so 800 is for room/board/transportation within Italy.
Ok, thanks for the advice, I'm thinking I will book air bnb and train tickets far in advance to get those discounts.
Very good to know. Is there a nature-y area or small town area you would recommend other than Cinque Terre?
Report Abuse
For lodging, search hostels on booking.com. The site is known for its system of guest ratings. Cinque Terre is an overly popular resort area and cheap rooms will be hard to find. To save $$ on transportation you may wish to find places closer to Rome.
Lotsa info here:
Train tickets here using italian city names [general info on themaninseat61.com].

I think you will need to augment your budget in order for this to work. Right now you are expecting to live on US$80/70 Euro per day all in - lodging, food, transport, admissions. You might be able to do that staying in hostels, but unlikely in AirBNB. And take a look at what your train tickets will cost. You could save some money by staying close to Rome, so you don't have that long train ride from Venice, but even then...
Good luck to you.

Orvieto [my favorite town in Umbria] from the Termini station in Rome takes about an hour. If choosing this area I would head there directly, stay in Rome last.
Report Abuse
no idea how you're going to stay within that budget but IMO the first thing you should do is to put your stay in Rome at the end of the trip so you don't break up your time there; it's more efficient cost and time-wise.
use your first day when you land to travel to your furthest destination e.g. Venice, and work back to Rome. That said, Venice is one of the most expensive places in Italy; if you want to stick with that budget, you'll need to think of places which are less popular with foreign tourists. Why not look at a few guide books or on-line guides for ideas? [where is Zeppole when you need her?]

Cinque Terre is among the most popular areas for hiking -- though I don't think a lot of the tourists who visit necessarily do any hiking. It is very pretty but very crowded. The convenience is really tempting because of the train line. Portofino national park is along the coast and easy to get to. Somewhere like Elba might be a possibility.

Alright... thank you for the feedback. What of this for a plan?

Questions: Best/cheapest way to get from Amalfi Coast to Rome?
Report Abuse
The Amalfi Coast is small and the hiking is day trips. You'd be best to base yourself in one place.
Nocelle is budget friendly as it's high above Positano and doesn't have the beach access - it does have a half hourly bus down to Positano.
To get between the Amalfi Coast and Rome on a budget like yours, the cheapest way is train to Naples make a connection with a train to Sorrento and then take the bus to Positano. I would suggest the Salerno/ferry route but the ferry from Salerno to Positano is 18 euro - and there goes a chunk of your daily budget.
I think you're grossly under estimating how much money you will need.
Report Abuse
Look at Hostel Brikette in Positano. You do have to stay two nights minimum. I have not seen it or stayed there, but it seems a good rate. Go to Lonely Planet website for more help with your budget and lodging.

Not sure about your budget and Positano, but in the smaller towns it is certainly possible to get great accommodations for unbelievably low prices.

The rough Guide to Italy would also be a good place to look for cheap accommodation.

So I was able to book air bnbs for the above dates (all with extensive good reviews) for a total of 350 dollars including taxes. You would be surprised how cheap air bnbs can be! I will be staying 4 nights in Scala and using that as a base to hike as much as possible throughout the Amalfi coast. Any advice on transportation would be fantastic. Most likely I will combine hiking with uber/public transport as needed.
Report Abuse
I'm sorry to be discouraging but your budget just will not cover your costs unless you rely on free lodging (couchsurfing). I think if you do a little research you will find that even hostels and picnics with food from markets or a slice for every meal will be beyond your budget. Never mind trains between cities, any transit within cities and entrance to any sights. Even if you limit yourself to 1 or 2 sights in each city I think you will run out of money.
You really need to get online and see the costs of things - and how little 70 euros per day will buy you:
One night in a bed in a hostel dorm room (6 women): 30 euros
Entrance to Coloseum/Forum: 16 euros
Meals (Bkfst 4 euros, Lunch 5 euros, dinner 8 euros - total 19 euros)
This is 65 euros - and doesn't even leave you enough to buy an ice cream
And on the day you take a train - at 20 or 25 euros - then what do you do?

>>>Sep 9: Travel to Naples via high speeded train 23 dollars<<<
That is only for Rome to Naples and is it $23 or 23€? If 23€ at today's exchange rate it will be $26.55. You didn't factor in the trip from the airport to Rome Termini train station either. The Leonardo Express train from the airport is 14€, but you could also take the Sitbusshuttle which is about 6€.

Scala is an awesome place to stay. It is on the SITA bus route between Amalfi and Ravello.

Joomla Website Hack Fixing
Once your original Joomla website has been procured from the hands of the hacker, the next task is to put questions on oneself that what led to the hack, in the first place. Most people overlook this analysis after recovering from a serious threat, but it is advisable to put further light on this matter, to prevent such attacks in the future. Although it may seem a time wasting venture for some, yet it has two basic agenda,
- To have a fair idea of what actually had happened
- To defend against similar attacks
Thus, it's needless to ask, how many are in favour of such tedious and time consuming job. Follow these steps to identify Joomla hack instantly and what to do if you spotted one,
- Check the index.php for unknown IPs. If a suspect IP is discovered, then an unauthorised login or application of brute force to enter into the administrative backend can't be ruled out.
- Check for SQL injection attacks. These can be spotted by the repeated use of update, replace and insert commands. If you suspect a SQL injection attack, look out for the component's name, as chances are that it is vulnerable. If the component is present in the Vulnerable Extension List, then replace the component with a newer version.
- Incase of repeated requests to stray PHP files, check whether the PHP file exists in original ZIP file of the component. If it is found to be unavailable then it is replaced by a malicious script by the hacker and hence immediately removed.
- Incase of repeated requests to same PHP files, other than index.php file of Joomla, then be sure that something's wrong. Remove it immediately. If it is inside an awkward folder then examine its contents, it may be a hacking tool.
- After the website has been hacked, be alert always. Make sure to wipe out all the backdoor hacking scripts left behind by the hacker, to ensure that it doesn't get infected ever again. Read out these steps to prevent Joomla hack.

But on Friday's 12th stage of the Tour de France, the American five-time winner gave with one hand and took away with the other as he took a big step toward securing a record sixth victory in the race.
Armstrong inched closer to overtaking Spain's Miguel Indurain as the Tour's king of kings when he came second behind exciting young Italian Ivan Basso of the CSC team on the first summit finish here to leave main rival Jan Ullrich at over three minutes adrift.
For Tyler Hamilton, Armstrong's former lieutenant who helped him win three of his five yellow jerseys, it was also a bad day on the bike.
Armstrong finished a bike length behind Basso, who two years ago won the white jersey for the Tour's best rider under the age of 25.
Frenchman Thomas Voeckler retained the race leader's yellow jersey but had to work hard to keep it on his shoulders on a day which saw the riders take a soaking as the rain came down before the final 15km climb to here.
The 24-year-old La Boulangere rider, who led Armstrong by 9 minutes, 35 seconds overnight, came in 3 minutes, 59 seconds behind Basso and now leads Armstrong by 5 minutes, 24 seconds in the general classification.
Ullrich admitted he had struggled throughout the day, which left him in 16th place overall at 9:01. Phonak's Hamilton, another pre-race favourite, is 20th at 9:46.
After Armstrong had severely compromised his rivals' chances of victory, he then revealed he had allowed Basso to win because he is helping the Italian's mother in her fight against cancer.
"He's a hell of a good guy. We've been friends for a long time and off the bike we're trying to work a little bit on his mum's situation, to try and see if she can win the fight against cancer," said cancer survivor Armstong, who saw his 55-second advantage over Ullrich grow to 3 minutes, 37 seconds.
"It's pretty special for me to have been out there with him, and the past week we haven't spoke about the race, we've spoke about his mum.
"It was a pleasure for me to let him (Basso) win, and he deserved to win. He was super strong."
During a 197.5-kilometer ride, which included two climbs from Castelsarrasin at the foot of the Pyrenees, the peloton took a soaking as the rains came down ahead of the first climb to the Col d'Aspin.
But despite storms and lightning on the summit finish of La Mongie, by the time the peloton, being led by Armstrong's US Postal team, had reached the foot of the mountain the sun had come out and the roads were dry.
It prepared the perfect scene for one of Armstrong's classic attacks, and after US Postal's pace left Ullrich and Hamilton struggling early on the climb it was not long before the American was up and dancing on his pedals, eventually overtaking Basso's Spanish teammate Carlos Sastre, the winner of the stage at Ax-les-Thermes last year ahead of Ullrich, in the final few kilometres.
Armstrong and Basso then forged ahead, before the Italian overtook Armstrong in the final metres before the finish line.
The 26-year-old Basso, considered a future winner of the Tour, admitted that since he had good legs he simply had to take his chance on a day that proved difficult for a lot of riders, including Ullrich.
"It's the first stage in the mountains, and there's plenty of racing still to be done," said Basso, who picked up his first victory of any significance since 2001.
"It was difficult for a lot of riders, but I had good legs and I just seized my chance. I felt very good, and in any case I had to do well today because of all the good work my team had done for me.
"But Armstrong showed today that he is still very strong."
Ullrich, meanwhile virtually admitted defeat on what was the first test of his strength following his fifth runner-up place last year.
"It was just a bad day for me, but I have to assume it," said the 30-year-old German, who was sweating profusely as he struggled to keep pace up the final climb before arriving in 20th place at 2:30 behind Basso.
Hamilton later claimed he was still suffering from the effects of a crash in the torrid first week of the race, which left him with back injuries.
"I'm still not at 100 percent since the crash last week," said Hamilton, who claimed a great fourth place finish on the Tour last year and won the tough stage to Bayonne despite riding the entire Tour with a fractured collarbone.
"I can't find a good rhythm on the climbs," Hamilton said. "The legs are just not turning right. But the Tour is long, and the time lost today may not turn out to be as bad as it looks. But I can't afford to lose any more."
Saturday's 13th stage remains in the Pyrenees, with several testing climbs including the ascent to the finish, which is rated beyond category.

Yesterday, BBC Newsbeat received much backlash — or should we same Black-lash — after promoting a video segment about Black people and fried chicken.
In the video, the channel asked English citizens to speak on the myth or reality surrounding the "Black people love fried chicken" stereotype. Not only does the clip ignorantly attempt to unpack a stereotype that's been around for decades, but it also makes the mistake of using more white people than Black people.
OK, BBC, let us do you a favor and speak to this stereotype without mentioning how "chicken makes your bum bigger."
The first negative imagery of Black people eating chicken was in the 1915 KKK propaganda film Birth of a Nation. In the film, there is a famous scene in which a fictional Black government worker devours fried chicken like an animal while Black congressmen pass a vote forcing white people to salute Black soldiers — this was considered satire.
After the film, racist postcards and cartoons depicted items such as "coon chicken" and other derogatory images.
So this stereotype of Black people and fried chicken is not something to be laughed about and mocked from the point of view of white Europeans.
And people on Twitter agree.
It appears the segment itself is not attempting to perpetuate any racist stereotypes. However, when you have Black people sitting in front of a collage of fried chicken while talking about fried chicken, you aren't too far from those images seen in the racist propaganda of the past.

Each of the men could be served a life sentence in prison.

Demi Lovato is excited to share a song she has written with Miguel.
The 23-year-old singer took to social media to share her excitement with fans about her track with the 'Coffee' hitmaker.
On Twitter, she wrote: "Wrote a song with @Miguel today ... I'm so excited to hear it with the track!!! Miguel, you are the s**t !! (sic)"
And this might not be Demi's only collaboration as last week she revealed she has been working with someone else talented.
She tweeted: "Recorded something in the studio today with someone so talented and I'm so excited for y'all to hear it ... I think YALL are gonna love it (sic)"
The 'Cool for the Summer' hitmaker's creative juices have been flowing and the brunette beauty has been using social media to keep her fans updated with her progress, including a song she wrote on a plane.
She previously revealed in a series of tweets: "Trying to fall asleep but I can't. I wrote a song on the plane and now I can't get it out of my head.
"Problem is, I can't get it out of my head. I keep hearing all the strings and parts to the song that isn't recorded or even created yet.
"So here I am in bed, and I can't sleep because I literally have a song. stuck. In. My. Head.
"It's recorded on my phone but not in it's entirety obviously because unfortunately I can't play all the instruments at this very moment.
"I hate it because I have the mastered, final mix of a song stuck in my head that I haven't even recorded yet. Does that make any sense? (sic)"

You just deleted that beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime photo from your smartphone or camera.
As a photographer, I know the panic.
After a rare full day of shooting on a Leica M Monochrome this weekend — a camera I only have to review for a couple weeks — I got home and began flipping through my images. But the menu buttons on the back of that unique camera were unfamiliar and confusing. Meaning to just delete one blown-out image, I hit "SET" too many times and the screen went blank. A day's worth of shooting disappeared in a second, leaving behind a blank screen.
But deleted photos don't have to be gone forever. You can get them back, as the shot at the top of this article proves.
Here's how.

Profile: Yasser Arafat Names A New Cabinet
All Things Considered: October 29, 2002
JOHN YDSTIE, host:
In the West Bank city of Ramallah today, Palestinian lawmakers gave Yasser Arafat a solid vote of approval for his new Cabinet. The approval comes a month after the old Cabinet was forced to resign to avoid a vote of no confidence. Reform-minded lawmakers say the latest shakeup was mainly cosmetic, but many members are reluctant to challenge Arafat, when the Palestinian Authority is under such heavy attack by the Israeli army. NPR's Peter Kenyon reports from Ramallah.
PETER KENYON reporting:
It has never been easy for Palestinian legislators to criticize their leader, and it gets even harder when ordinary Palestinians are more focused on Israeli military curfews and closures than on financial transparency or accountable government institutions. Critics said the fight over this new Cabinet with only a handful of new faces was actually lost during closed-door meetings between Arafat and high-level Fatah Party members, at which heavy pressure was applied to support the chairman. On his way into the meeting in Arafat's crumbling compound, lawmaker Nabil Amer, a sometimes outspoken critic of Arafat, conceded that the battle was already over.
Mr. NABIL AMER: (Through Translator) After the decisions which were taken by the Central Committee of Fatah, now the government will pass easily.
KENYON: Despite the Israeli military barrage that has leveled most of the compound, this spacious hall with roughly the same shape and acoustics as a high school gymnasium has been restored to use. Arafat was greeted politely by the audience and delivered what some called an extended pep talk, recounting what he called the `relentless aggressions of the Israeli army' and urging his people to remain firm in their demand for an independent state.
As he has in the past, Arafat condemned attacks against civilians, and he called such killings not martyrdom operations or even military operations, but terrorist acts.
Mr. YASSER ARAFAT (Palestinian Leader): (Through Translator) Every human has the right to live. The Palestinians have this right and the Israelis have this right, and all the free people have the right to live. And we condemned all of the terrorist actions which aim the civilians in anyplace in the world.
KENYON: Israel and the United States have made governmental reforms a prerequisite to political negotiations. Chief among the demands is the effective removal of Arafat himself from power. The US-backed road map circulated by envoy William Burns last week begins by calling for a Palestinian prime minister, a move already rejected by Arafat.
Arafat said elections are still scheduled for January 20th, including presidential balloting that he would almost certainly win. From the international perspective, one change made today may prove troubling. Interior Minister Abdel Razzak al-Yahya, who was beginning what appeared to be a serious reform of the Palestinian security services, was replaced by Arafat confidant Hani Al Hassan. All of Yahya's personnel moves during his few weeks in charge were recently nullified.
Those security reforms are of far more interest to outsiders than to Palestinians. But by any measure, says opposition legislator Abdul Jawad Saleh, this new Cabinet fails the test.
Mr. ABDUL JAWAD SALEH (Opposition Legislator): It's the same, with the same personalities, with the same policies and the same corruption and corrupted people and there were no changes at all, which really expresses the impossibility of rectifying corruption as long as the chairman is there.
KENYON: Chairman Arafat's victory today comes as Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon faces the gravest challenge to date to his ruling coalition. The top Labor Party member, Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, says if a compromise on a budget dispute isn't found by tomorrow, the Labor ministers will resign, forcing Sharon to either rule with a very narrow majority or call snap elections.

podPress 220.127.116.11 – duration and file size detection
Plugin Author ntm
If you are using podPress 188.8.131.52 and you encounter problems with duration and file size detection which you have not experienced in previous podPress versions then it is very likely that there is an easy fix.
I have forgotten to set the new debug constant PODPRESS_DEBUG_LOG in the podpress.php to FALSE before the release. Now, It is set to TRUE by default. If this constant is TRUE then podPress logs its activities during the duration, file size and ID3 tag detection processes into a file (or at least tries to do that). But the logging function currently don't checks whether the user is allowed to write into files. And sometimes he is not allowed to that. In these cases the you are getting long error messages in the small duration and file size fields or the detection seems not to work.
These problems are limited and easy to fix:
Open the podpress.php file in the plugin editor (or an other editor) and set the constant to FALSE:
define( 'PODPRESS_DEBUG_LOG', TRUE );
define( 'PODPRESS_DEBUG_LOG', FALSE );
You can find this line at the beginning of the file (line 98).
This constant will be set to FALSE by default in the next podPress version.
I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused!
- The topic 'podPress 18.104.22.168 – duration and file size detection' is closed to new replies.

Dear Abby: 'Parents' not the same as 'friends'
Published 6:30 am, Thursday, December 21, 2006
Here I go, sounding like an old fogy, but "Feeling Lost and Guilty," who said she and her loudmouthed, snotty son are "best friends," has brought her problem on herself. The No. 1 problem of parents today is that they try to be friends with their children rather than parents. Back when I was his age, parents were parents to their children — not friends. There is a difference!
She asked how to undo what she has done. She now knows there is a difference between being a parent and being a friend.
I see that all too often in parents today, including my own daughter, whose teenage daughters walk all over her because "it's easier and less stressful" to allow it than provide guidance. In cases like this, the cart is down the path and the horse is still in the barn.
DISAPPOINTED GRANDFATHER, Easton, Pa.
Dear Disappointed:
You are correct in saying that some parents shirk their responsibility by refusing to be firm with their children as well as responsible role models. However, before painting all parents of children with social problems with the same broad brush, please read on:
Dear Abby:
Thank you for advising the mother of "Todd," the teen who doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut, to seek an evaluation. If the boy has a problem with empathy, it could be that he has Asperger's syndrome, an increasingly more common form of mild autism. This is a social disability, often more noticeable in the teenage years, when social expectations are more sophisticated. I should know — I am a school psychologist and also the mother of a 13-year-old with Asperger's.
MOMin Berkeley, Calif.
Dear Abby:
It's time that mother, whose son hasn't learned that "discretion is the better part of valor," teach her son "active listening" skills. These include reading body language and nonverbal cues, withholding opinions until all facts are in, and learning to discern when someone actually wants to hear our opinion vs. just wanting to vent. (I have had some really bad employers who could have benefited from that last one.)
I learned active listening skills more than 30 years ago as a peer counselor in junior high school, and while I was able to adapt some of the skills immediately, others have taken literally decades to sink in. However, this is why we plant seeds. Some bloom right away, while others take time to germinate.

FA Cup Round-Up B-O
By Mark Buckingham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Conference club often lived dangerously as Notts County created a string of fine chances but were repeatedly denied by a combination of poor finishing, heroic defending and great goalkeeping.
It was the hosts who took the lead two minutes before the interval when Steve Perkins' low shot squirmed under the hand of Steve Mildenhall.
The Magpies drew level through Nick Fenton's header on 69 minutes and two minutes later, Gravesend were reduced to ten men when Paul Gibbs was sent off for a rash challenge on Simon Baldry.
With the tie seemingly heading for a replay, Magpies striker Clive Platt fired a low shot beyond substitute keeper Alex O'Reilly while Mildenhall redeemed himself with a late save from Lee Shearer.
Conference outfit Accrington Stanley almost pulled off a shock when they led against Second Division Bournemouth for a lengthy period before forcing a second round replay.
Paul Mullin put the visitors in front on nine minutes but The Cherries salvaged a replay on 56 minutes courtesy of Marcus Browning.
Accrington's Conference rivals Aldershot held out for 83 minutes at Colchester United before Rowan Vine broke the visitors' resistance.
Northampton Town ended Weston-Super-Mare's run in the competition with a comprehensive 4-1 triumph at Sixfields Stadium.
The turning point of the contest came on 36 minutes when the non-league side's Mark McKeever was sent off for deliberate handball. Martin Smith dispatched the resulting penalty.
Josh Low and Marc Richards then extended The Cobblers' advantage before Billy Clark scored a consolation, only for Richards to net again in the final minute.
Non-league Hornchurch's FA Cup giantkilling run ended with a 1-0 home defeat by Tranmere Rovers.
The decisive goal arrived on 26 minutes when Gary Jones (pictured) converted Micky Mellon's cross from inside the penalty area.
In a thrilling seven-goal affair at Boundary Park, Blackpool romped to a 5-2 victory over Second Division foes Oldham Athletic.
A hat-trick from Scott Taylor proved the highlight and he had The Seasiders 2-0 up after 20 minutes before Keith Southern added to the margin before the break.
Taylor completed his treble on 57 minutes before John Eyre pulled one back for The Latics. Leam Richardson restored the four-goal cushion before Jermaine Johnson replied in the closing minute.
Cheltenham brushed past Leyton Orient with little difficulty following the 18th minute sending off of goalkeeper Glenn Morris.
The O's shot-stopper was dismissed for a professional foul on Damian Spencer, with Grant McCann tucking home the penalty.
McCann scored again on 34 minutes with Bob Taylor making it three on the hour mark. Matthew Lockwood scored the visitors' consolation on 69 minutes.
Macclesfield forged ahead against Cambridge courtesy of Matthew Tipton's 22nd minute penalty after he was fouled by visiting player/manager John Taylor.
But Cambridge have another bite at the cherry after John Turner scored within 60 seconds of the hosts taking the lead.
Bristol City and Barnsley must replay at Oakwell for the right to be in the third round after a 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate.

Norman the slug who saved christmas: Book review
The paperback book arrived and immediate impressions were very good. The cover jumps straight out at you being bright, colourful, glittery and christmassy. This is everything Eva wants in a book. She couldn't wait to get it open.
The story is about Norman the slug who is settling into bed on christmas eve. He is hoping for some presents but can't believe his eyes when a sack full lands at his house. He frantically unwraps them but soon realises they are not for him. He knows he has to get the presents to the family they belong to but can one slug actually save christmas and get to their house in time before they wake up.
All of us in the house have loved reading this story. Personally I find Norman very charming and normally I have quite a dislike for slugs! He is a very likeable character even if he is slimy. I like the moral of the story and that is that you can achieve anything if you try hard enough. I also like the fact that he finds himself a shell at the end of the story but that is not clearly pointed out and young children probably wouldn't pick up on it.
Eva now asks to have this read to her every night. She loves the actual story and particularly enjoys the part where Santa sneezes and the present sack falls out of the sleigh. The story is easy for a young child to follow and understand. She adores the illustrations as they are bright, bold and sparkle out of the page.
If you are considering doing a christmas book advent this year then this would be an ideal addition for any young members of the family or a perfect read for christmas eve.

So my mom and her best friend have been talking about going on a cruise forever. But for various reasons haven't been able to make it. So I just booked them to go on Jewel of the Seas next month. They are so excited. I was able to get them a balcony for a really good price for a five night. I guess royal has this Tuesday sale and got a great deal. I am very happy that I could make them so happy. Has anyone been on jewel of the seas? Is it a nice ship? I am sure it doesn't matter they are on a cruise that's fun enough

text: Leading world experts in oil spill response have agreed a series of recommendations to deal with future spills of high density oil during the International Maritime Organization's Third R&D Forum on High Density Oil Spill Response, held from 11-13 March in Brest, France, following the generous offer of the French Government to host the Forum. Large quantities of high density oil are carried by ships either as cargo or as fuel (bunkers). This oil's characteristics, including high viscosity and tendency to sink, present particular challenges for clean-up operations in the event of an accidental spill at sea. The recommendations adopted by the Forum include the development and testing of new systems for detection and treatment of high density oil spills and the sharing of technical expertise between IMO, Governments and industry (to include oil producers, importers and exporters, and those involved in oil spill response). Although the safety standards of ships continue to improve and accident rates are falling, accidents such as those involving ships like the Nakhodka in Japan, the Erika off the coast of Brittany and more recently the Baltic Carrier in the Baltic Sea confirmed the urgent need for further development and dissemination of techniques to enable coastal States to respond rapidly and effectively to spills of high density oils. In addition to technological development, the Forum also focused on the operational aspects of combating oil pollution, including training and the effective use of equipment. Recent years have seen a number of significant developments in this field and, in accordance with the 1990 International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation (OPRC), Governments and IMO are playing an active role both by promoting R&D and exchanging information. Recommendations adopted by the R&D Forum included: Detection of high density oil spills - IMO, Governments and industry to co-operate internationally in the development of laser and sonar technology for detecting high density oil spills. - Governments and industry to validate use of sensors in practice (during actual oil spills). - Governments and industry to facilitate the testing of prototype systems (systems in development) on actual oil spills. Modelling of high density oil spills - Governments to facilitate the validation of modelling systems (such as computerised systems to predict the drifting oil slicks) during actual oil spills. - Coastal States should encourage oil spill responders to co-operate with modellers. - IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) should use the OPRC Convention as the basic framework to facilitate these recommendations. Behaviour and fate of high density oil spills - IMO, Governments and industry to ensure better dissemination of practical knowledge and experience of the behaviour and fate of high density oils, through an international guidance document. - Much research has been done on emulsified fuel oil, but IMO and Governments need to ensure much wider and better dissemination of the information. - IMO and the International Standardisation Organization (ISO) to develop internationally recognized definitions for the terms overwashing, submergence and sinking. - Studies on features of overwashing, submergence and sinking are preliminary and need to be confirmed - and based on this work, simple tools/guides need to be developed. - There is a need for focussed testing to confirm predictions, from which guidelines could be developed for oil spill responders. - Current research on dispersant effectiveness needs to focus on determining limits and this information needs to be disseminated to promote proper use. - Further research is needed on the variability of different high density oils and their properties - reference should be made to existing knowledge and IMO, Governments and industry need to collate more and comprehensive information on high density oils. A range of tests to assess high density oil properties already exist - but further work is needed to validate the tests. Containment and recovery of floating high density oil - IMO, Governments and industry to improve international co-operation in developing and testing operational high density oil collection and pumping systems. - IMO, Governments and industry to consider sharing test facilities and to facilitate joint field trials of complete recovery systems. - IMO, and the ISO to develop equipment testing parameters, such as standard viscosity and temperature ranges, to accelerate R&D collaboration. - IMO and ISO to develop guidelines for evaluating recovery system performance to assist in proper selection and use in oil spills. - IMO to facilitate the better sharing of scientific and technical information during spills and with post-incident reports. - Regions should evaluate the risks and benefits of response options and consequences. - Governments and industry to ensure that risk/benefit evaluations include environmental, economic, and social considerations. Recovery of sunken high density oil - Industry and Governments to develop deep water automotive systems and wreck detection at depths greater than 2,000 metres. - Governments to establish an inter-Governmental initiative to investigate the threat of elderly wrecks in coastal waters. - Industry to develop survey sonar sensors for locating presence of oil through metal/tanks; to make use of advances in digital video imaging and to look at ways of measuring quantities of oil remaining in wrecks. - Industry to develop alternative methods to steam heating to achieve a viable flow rate in order be able to pump oil from greater depths. - Industry to develop safety equipment complementary to the development of new recovery technologies. The recommendations from the R&D Forum will be submitted to the MEPC at its 48th session in October 2002 for consideration and action by IMO Member States. Funding for the R&D Forum, which had a total budget of more than US$200,000, came from a number of government and industry sources, including Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the USA, the European Commission as well as the Nippon Foundation of Japan. Industry sources include the Independent Tanker Owners' Pollution Federation (ITOPF), the International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association (IPIECA), the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and the oil company BP. The R&D Forum was attended by some 300 delegates from 70 countries. The delegates included 35 participants from developing countries sponsored by IMO's Technical Co-operation Programme and other sources. The R&D Forum was chaired by Mr. Tom Allan of the United Kingdom, chairman of IMO's Maritime Safety Committee. A further 200 delegates attended a programme of events, held alongside the R&D Forum, dedicated to maritime safety and the protection of the marine environment, organized by the Brest Urban Community, in co-operation with IMO, the European Commission and the following organizations: CEDRE (Centre de Documentation de Recherche et d'Expérimentation sur les pollutions accidentelles des eaux/Centre for Research into Accidental Pollution of the Seas), SYCOPOL (French Oil Spill Control Association), BOSCA (British Oil Spill Control Association), and NOSCA (Norwegian Oil Spill Control Association). High density oil High density oils include around 600 million tonnes of residual fuel produced and consumed in the world each year, used mostly for power generation. High density fuel oils are produced from residues from various refinery processes and are also known as heavy fuel oils. Some 140 million tonnes of marine bunker fuel oils are consumed annually, the majority of which is heavy fuel oil. A large ship powered by diesel engines may consume 150 tonnes of fuel oil per day and may carry up to 3,000 to 4,000 tonnes of this oil as fuel. Heavy fuel oil tends to be cheaper than distillate (lighter) fuel oils. The characteristics of heavy fuel oil when spilled at sea – such as occurred during the Erika and Baltic Carrier incidents – have implications for response and clean-up operations. These characteristics include: - High viscosity (relates to ability to be poured) – implications for pumping. Viscosity of any oil decreases as temperature is raised – heavy fuel oil may need to be heated to be pumped. Viscosity is more pronounced in cold waters and winter months. - May be solid or semi-solid at typical sea temperatures – this can have advantages if it is possible to scoop up quantities of oil in calm seas. Similarly, removal of heavy fuel oil from beaches with hard-packed sand is normally straightforward. Penetration into sandy beaches is likely to be minimal – but care must be taken if mechanical diggers are used so as not to mix oil with sand. - Highly viscous oil tends to attach itself firmly to hard surfaces, making clean-up difficult on rocky shores. However, when the oil has emulsified with water it may not adhere so readily. - Heavy fuel oils tend to be less toxic than crude oils and some other refined products – but strong adhesive properties and persistence may have greater impact on mammals and seabirds. - Spilled oil is heavy (high specific gravity) – tends to float low in the water – this can make recovery using skimmers difficult (whereas skimmers may be more effective for "lighter" oils). - It may be hard to assess where the oil is from the air because the oil is not floating on the surface – when oil is visible on surface, it may not be possible to assess thickness of oil patches and therefore quantity of oil spilled. - Movement of heavy fuel oil may be difficult to predict as wave action may carry it below the surface. - Sunken heavy fuel oil may have significant impact on seabed resources and fishing and mariculture activities. - Persistent – heavy fuel oils do not disperse naturally in a significant manner and oil spill dispersants may prove ineffective. - Spilled heavy fuel oil may drift long distances and impact on coasts - with associated high compensation and clean-up costs. - The precise properties of the particular heavy fuel oil spilled, as well as prevailing weather conditions, may have a significant impact on choice of response/clean-up operations as well as on the ultimate success or otherwise of the clean-up operation. The International Tanker Owner's Pollution Federation Limited (ITOPF) indicates that of some 450 spills attended by its staff in the last 25 years, about 40 per cent have involved medium or heavy grades of fuel oil, either carried as cargo or used by larger vessels as bunker fuel. In the last two years, half of all oil spills attended have involved heavy fuel oils. IMO has recognized the problem posed by spills of oil carried as bunkers – the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution, adopted in March 2001, will enter into force 12 months after ratification by 18 States, including five States with ships whose total gross tonnage is not less than one million.

Life on the Frontier
The life that Alexander and his family lived was a harsh one with many deprivations. Roads were almost nonexistent on the western side of the Appalachian mountains. There were no schools, medical care, or protection from the natives who lived in the area. At the age of twenty-four, Louis-Philippe, King of France from 1830 to 1848, and his brother traveled in the spring of 1797 to the Cumberland Gap area in Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. He kept a dairy of his observations that provides a glimpse of the living conditions in the Appalachian Mountains. Louis-Philippe, Diary of my Travels in America (Delacorte 1977)(Cited as "LP")
Louis-Philippe, King of France from 1830 to 1848
The prince observed many things about the terrain, customs and people who had settled around Virginia and Kentucky where Alexander and his family lived. He "saw maples . . . and again enjoyed the sight of their huge branches bowing earthward." He noted that the trees produced a very good sweetener. He found "wild grapevines . . . that must subtly alter our impression of the landscape . . . They always grow about another tree, twining to its upper limbs, whence tendrils droop to the ground. They produce very tart grapes, edible only after a frost." LP at page 55.
Concerning the mountains and the "road" he followed to Kentucky, he recorded:
The [eastern side] of the Alleghanys . . . are covered with oaks; one sees hardly any pines. The soil is dry and arid. It is no more than stony sand, not cultivable . . . Crossing the Alleghanys I saw evidence of Americans' ignorance, or laziness, about mapping their roads. The one we followed crossed over the tallest of the rounded hills, leaving vales left and right where it would have been far easier to cut a road because with the land overgrown and no streams in the area, there would be no cliffs or swamps to hinder the work, just trees to fell, the same on the crests. The only way I could make sense of this road was by assuming that the first travelers who blazed a trial across the Alleghanys were attracted to high ground by their impatience to see the land to the west, and that sheer laziness led the road builders to follow that trial and spare themselves the trouble of cutting a new one. He stated that "the western slope of these mountains struck us as infinitely worse than the eastern. The soil is sandy and dry, the land flatter, and the springs rarer." LP at page 50.
He was not impressed with many men he met in the area:
The indolence and churlishness of the workingmen around here are unparalleled. When a horse throws a shoe, you can cover twenty-five miles and call upon five or six farriers before you find one willing to work. If the least thing goes wrong with a saddle, or clothes, or a boot, you cannot find a soul to make repairs, and the other day a cobbler answered us, "Yes, that's right, I'm a shoemaker, and sometimes I work, but I'm not in the mood right now." LP at page 60 (emphasis supplied).
Almost all [the] emigrants come from North Carolina, a state so arid and unhealthy that people abandon all or part of it in search of good land and a more salubrious climate to the west. The recent peace with the Indians, promising colonists a spell of tranquility, attracted prodigious numbers of them, so many that shortly they will have nothing to fear from the Indians; on the contrary, they will pose and even greater danger to the Indians, the newcomers' general desire being to strip the tribes of their lands, as has already been done to sever in the north. And these immigrants are far from admirable. With their Negroes they bring the obduracy and laziness of slave owners. These slaves will settle here and by normal increase maintain their ratio, and under such a system I doubt that the region will ever attain the level of culture and prosperity which it certainly favors otherwise. LP at pages 107-08.
On the food served:
The food . . . is nothing much; generally it amounts to no more than fried fatback and cornbread. Eggs have disappeared and the potatoes are finished. In the better places they make us little wheat cakes that are rather good. There is coffee everywhere, but bad, very weak. The sugar is always muscovado, or unrefined maple sugar, which I like better. LP at page 60.
On the type and abundance of wild game, he commented:
Tonight we saw five wild turkeys. They are black and white. The negro at Mr. Armstrong's where we are spending the night, killed a buck this morning and they served it at supper. There is plenty of game in this area, we see many common gray grouse and sometimes even a red one. A bluish dove is very common, and there are forest magpies, or rather hoopoes with red heads, white bellies, and slate gray wings and back. There are also winey-red cardinals and other completely scarlet. The birds here about sing very little, which deepens the melancholy of the forests; but now that the trees are green, we hear more of them. The woods are quite beautiful. The oaks tower to an extraordinary height; some are enormous around the trunk. LP at page 59-60.
The prince was shocked about the conditions for traveling in the area:
We finished our descent from the Cumberland mountains and entered the valley formed by that river. We found marshy terrain covered with tall trees and a species of rushes that grow ten or twelve feet tall with roots (usually as long as the stem) that are the bamboo we home make walking stick of. The americans call this rush cane. It grows very thickly, and usually buffalo and bears live within the stands. The roads through this cane are terrible. They are swampy; the sun cannot penetrate. They never dry; and with the continual passage of horses and carriages they deteriorate day by day. The land is not as level as might be expected. The traveler goes up hill and down hill almost constantly. LP at pages 106-07.
Thus, the life lived by Alexander and his family was not the romantic one presented in a Hollywood movie or television show.

Fishing Themed Birthday Party
This fishing-themed boy's birthday party has all the trimmings of a bait shop and more. Lauren, from Lauren Haddox Designs, and with help from Angela Marie Events, has recreated a whole fishing experience in her living room, complete with a snack shack! Its a sea of treats and clever design for Laurens boys birthday party with cake AND cupcakes. All the blues and sea-evoking colors make this a beautiful party.
See Aso
- Here's the fishing themed party I threw for Sam.
- I love these budget-friendly fishing party ideas.
Using supplies like tissue paper, gummy worms, some wood, and a lot of creativity, Lauren and Angela gave an experience to sea with an adorable fishing-themed boy's birthday party for all to enjoy. Laurens gone fishing party printables helped set the scene for fun.
To outfit the bait shop for fishing action, accessories included fishing nets and poles. Lauren thought of all the details; notice the driftwood, an old anchor and an oar, too. Lanterns and multi-colored pennants add to the scene. I love the bait shop sign!
Blue tissue fringe served as water, and white, round, Chinese lanterns were painted half red to look like buoys.
Whats a fishing party without food though? Refreshments included treats that harkened back to snack shacks on old, rickety docks. Catfish was served in retro plastic baskets, with potato salad, coleslaw and $.25 snack cakes like Ding Dongs and Moon Pies.
Cold pop and a drink station with ice tea (brackish water), and blue lemonade (salt water), refreshed the hungry fishermen. Bowls of Goldfish Crackers needed no bait to be enjoyed and what a fun touch to add blue candy "water"! Mason jars with retro-striped straws made it easy sipping on the dock of the bay.
In addition to the cakes and cupcakes, for dessert there were chocolate-covered pretzel rods and reels, gummy ring life vests and licorice fishing line. Everyone was hooked by Silly Gilly Desserts sea-themed cookies of fish, tackle boxes, buoys, and life jackets, while red-and-white buoy cake balls by The Sweetest Thing were a catch of the day.
Clever fishing-themed activities were in the backyard. Children could fish from an old boat to catch burlap fish (Lauren used magnets in the fish and on the end of the fishing line) and go digging for live worms in the Worm Dig box.
There was also a fish coloring station. You can tell everyone had a reel good time!

Post Game: Heroes 3.12 - "Our Father"
Post Game: Heroes 3.4
Hey. Spoilers.I thought that there were several bits in this episode that represented improvements, but those were juxtaposed against a couple of staggeringly, well, dumb moments. In terms of pacing, this was definitely an "A". Things moved quickly, some plot points had some (seemingly) "real" consequences, and the potential weeding down of the cast continued. This episode opened with what I considered to be a big moment: Sylar burning Elle's body. It was something of a statement, since we a) actually saw the body, and b) saw Sylar douse it in fuel and set it ablaze. That should clear up both the "aw, she'll just come back" and the "how serious are they" questions for at least a few minutes. Most of the episode centered around Hiro and Claire's adventure in the past. Despite the show's crippling over-reliance on time travel, I thought that this was a high point, mainly due to the interaction of Masi Oka and Hayden Panettiere. The duo demonstrated some fine comedic timing as they attempted to comprehend both their mission and each other. In fact, Hayden Panettiere was very credible in her scenes with her parents in the past; that was a warm, intelligent Claire, and we should get to see that more frequently. Similarly, I'm happy that we're finally rid of Hiro believing that he's 10. I'm not sure how ultimately necessary it was to wrap so much of his backstory around time paradoxes and involving his mother and her death in his healing. Nevertheless, maybe Hiro can stop being so goofy and at least move toward competence. And speaking of goofy . . . that was every moment of Matt, Daphne, and Ando's visit to the bike messenger service. So the bike messenger has had the art for over a year, and the "fanboys" want it, but he hasn't sold it and just has it there. In a locker. I think that this was resolved so quickly because the writers knew this bit was a dog. Another unbright minute here came when Ando got excited about the prospect of the serum possibly giving him time travel powers so that he could rescue Hiro. Because, you know, with the variety of powers, it's soooo likely that Ando would get exactly those powers from a random injection. Speaking of injections, Arthur activated Mohinder's formula after leaping to the past and swiping the catalyst from Hiro. (I've noticed that people complained about Arthur being able to time travel, but it's likely that he got that power when he absorbed all of Peter's abilities.) Mohinder, Tracy and Nathan administered the formula to one of a batch of marines that they'd brought in for that purpose, and he got super-strength. Actually, it would have been rather funny if he got time travel. A few threads came to a head with Peter and The Haitian arrived to kill Arthur. Peter balked, but an arriving Sylar (who had gone back to cutting a swath through powered folk) did the deed for him. That is, if Arthur really bought it; Mama P had told Peter to get him in the back of the head, and Sylar's telekinetically-powered bullet definitely went in the front. So, by this point, we've got two dead villains, a re-eviled Sylar, the potential of a powered battalion, a depowered Peter, and Hiro trapped in the past. Those elements could make for an exciting mid-season finale. What do you think? Did they really smoke Arthur? What needs to go down for you to be excited about the show? Speak, all.
