Norwich City boss Chris Hughton delivers a mixed midfield injury bulletin ahead of Swansea Premier League trip
PUBLISHED: 07:00 28 March 2014 | UPDATED: 09:06 28 March 2014

Norwich City midfielders Elliott Bennett and Leroy Fer will be absent for the Canaries' Premier League trip to Swansea City.
Bennett has not featured since damaging his knee ligaments on the opening day of the season but the midfielder returned to full first team training last week. City boss Chris Hughton, however, revealed on Thursday he had erred on the side of caution in opting not to include Bennett in Monday's development league game at Southampton.
"With it being his first game after a long period of time he'd have probably only played 45 minutes and then had a recovery day and we felt it would be more beneficial to have two hard days here," said Hughton. "We could monitor the distances and the intensity better, but we will look at the next opportunity."
Dutch international Leroy Fer (hamstring) is unlikely to return before Liverpool's Easter Sunday visit.
"We don't have a timeline but he is making really good progress," said Hughton. "We are hopeful of seeing him on the training pitch in the next couple of weeks. How quickly that transmits to a game from the training field we don't know. I don't think it will be a long time because this is somebody who in effect had played all season and had been fit. At the moment there have been no setbacks with him, and of course that's good news."
Central defender Michael Turner is in the travelling party for the trip to the Liberty Stadium after his long term injury lay-off.

GamingUnion: "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was a critical and commercial success when it launched on the PC last May. I had the pleasure of reviewing it at the time, and I can easily see why it went on to sell over one million copies around the world. However, given that the game was effectively a poster boy for the genre on the platform, it was quite surprising to hear that it would be ported over to the Xbox 360, especially as the PS3 was negated from the equation entirely."
I am psyched and i m not. I do not have a high end pc, though that may be changing, so i am very excited to get this game. My problem is that i have no patience. I bought arkham city, only to retire early for skyrim which i spent 265 hours playing. Then, just in time, i got kingdoms of amalur. I was loving it, about 80 hours in and still on the 1st island. Then mass effect 3 released, and while the debate rages concerning the ending, i am 18 hours in and just rescued the female krogan. I've only got a few weeks until the witcher 2 & i m very excited, but will it suppliant me3? I doubt it, but it's 1 playthrough for now and reckoning and batman, along with battlefield, mw3, u3 r going to b resting for awhile.
Everyone should buy this game it's great and I feel the people the CD Projekt are true gamers. They take a solid stance against DRM (pc version obviously) and deserve your money. I only wish they'd port it over to ps3 sometime, I'd love to do a third walkthrough on ps3 :)
The Witcher 2 has a proper story and is well told.
I know that might be the simplest description for a game but it truly does that best. Many games lately don't seem to worry about the way a story is told but not this game.
So my friend will stop complaining about how its such a terrible game name, hele have to stop because his jaw will have dislocated to the nearest floor.

"in my dream u r mine

The poet Chaucer in the Middle Ages was the first to link St Valentine's day with romantic love. This was the beginning of the tradition of courtly love, a ritual of expressing love and admiration, usually in secret. This custom spread throughout Europe & stories grew about a High Court of Love sms where female judges would rule on issues related to love on 14 February each year & it is very important for romantic sms. Historians believe that these meetings were in fact gatherings where people read love poetry and played games of flirtation.


text: I've never been a fan of Carmen Miranda, although one could not help but be appreciative of her appearance in Eric Spilker's 1972 re-issue of The Gang's All Here in blazing three-strip Technicolor. That re-issue turned out to be a rather depressing epitaph to the entire Fox Technicolor library of the 1930s and '40s, as just four years after audiences reveled in the brilliant colors several wrong-headed decisions were made at the studio leading to the destruction of the original elements of Fox's entire nitrate library, and their replacement with rather horrific dupes that still bedevil the company to this day. There is nothing newsworthy about these facts, although many of us attempt not to think about them. The connection here is the second itineration of The Gang's All Here on DVD, which while slightly better than the first still carries the 1970s destructive scars with it, as the element used still has a faded yellow layer, leaving virtually everything that was once black in the film, now various shades of blue. Can this be fixed? Possibly, but return on the investment would be virtually nil, and still not allow for any better overall replication. The rest of the colors seem fine, although black levels still suffer along with shadow detail. The Gang's All Here has found its way into a collection entitled The Carmen Miranda Collection, even though all of the film are emblazoned with the desirable Fox Home Video's Marquis Musicals banner. Had it been entitled the Vivian Blaine Collection, I might have been initially more interested. The five films included in the collection wth Gang's, are two other Technicolor productions, Something for the Boys and Greenwich Village (both 1944), and two black & white productions, Doll Face and If I'm Lucky (both 1946). Greenwich Village is a bit better color-wise than Gang's, while Something for the Boys is a bit worse, with inconsistent color. Doll Face looks about as one might think it would, while strangely, If I'm Lucky appears to have gone through clean-up and processing, yielding the best looking image of the group. The bottom line is that we have what we have of these films, and even if huge amounts of cash were thrown into various projects, one cannot re-create a silk purse out the garbage created by the labs in 1976. The pity is that had the studio spent a less money on the creation of new elements almost four decades ago, they would have far fewer problems today. Albeit second string productions with second tier contract players, this collection is nonetheless a nice addition to a library of 1940s musicals. The other positive here is that they're being offered at a bargain street price of only $5 per title. Recommended. RAH

MIT Technology Review and Other Media Highlighted the First Graphene Amplifier Demonstrated in Balandin Laboratory
The MIT Technology Review, Materials Today, Physics World, PhysOrg, NanoWerk and more than hundred other technical media sources highlighted the demonstration of the first triple-mode graphene amplifier carried out in Balandin lab at the Department of Electrical Engineering. The graphene circuit was designed in collaboration with researchers from Rice University, and built and tested in the Nano-Device Laboratory (NDL) of professor Balandin. The UCR – Rice team, led by professor Balandin, has shown experimentally that by leveraging the ambipolarity of charge transport in graphene, the amplifier can be configured in the common-source, common-drain, or frequency multiplication mode of operation by simply changing the gate bias. This work proved that the graphene circuit can realize the modulation necessary for phase shift keying and frequency shift keying, which are widely used in wireless applications such as Bluetooth, RFID, and ZigBee. MIT Technology Review highlighted this demonstration on its front page. Materials Today and other media described it as a major breakthrough, marking the transition from individual graphene devices to fully functioning circuits. The news about the first graphene circuit was also featured at UCR web-site's front page.The photo shows an electrical engineering doctoral candidate Guanxiong Liu and a professor Alexander Balandin with the circuit, in front of the testing set-up in NDL. The scanning electron microscopy image is the device with graphene current channel (seen as horizontal "ribbon").

How to make the most of AGMs
October 2016
min read
Be prepared and make the most of your attendance at Annual General Meeting
That time of year is upon us again – the AGM season. If you have attended one, you were probably one of the majority who sat there feeling helpless, not uttering a word for the entire 60 minutes, except for the polite chitchat with the stranger sitting next to you.
The whole meeting pretty much whirled past in a sea of pomp and ceremony, but if you were lucky, a highlight was an angry shareholder grabbing the roving microphone and firing awkward questions at the CEO. Then you realised he was more than a little unhinged, and perhaps you turned your mind to the post-meeting refreshments: will the coffee be brewed or instant, and will the biscuits be Tim Tams or Anzacs?
I suggest you ask yourself if your attendance really makes a difference. It's a question I explore in this article, and how to prepare for your next AGM well in advance.
It used to be a special event
Remember the analogue era? Shareholders accessed news about their shareholdings either from the daily newspapers or by watching the 30-second grab on the evening news. But how useful were those sources anyway?
I can hear the cries of the typical TV viewer: "I don't care that the All Ords is down half a per cent. I just want to know how the share price of Blunt Drill Mining Exploration Ltd is travelling." The newspapers provided little better. Chances are that unless the story was really spicy, your small and mid-cap holdings got ignored, usually of little interest to the average business reporter.
It basically meant that attending the AGM was a special event. It got you close to the company in a way that was not otherwise possible.
It's different today, in the digital age. Up-to-date information is never more than a keystroke or screen swipe away. For investors, it has never been easier to keep an eye on what's going on with their shareholdings.
Take, for example, the ASX website or brokers' sites, such as Commsec. One feature that gets plenty of use on my Commsec web page is the watch-list facility. You can put in the ASX codes of all the companies you own and once set up, simply hit the announcements option to receive an update on their current news.
Nevertheless, the AGM has not lost its relevance or usefulness.
AGMs still serve a useful purpose
Listed companies are forced to hold AGMs. But unlike the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, that does not mean they have become an unnecessary formality. They still serve a useful purpose.
I could give a list of all the formal stuff that has to happen in an AGM (such as the election of directors, appointment of auditor and the transaction of key items of company business, to name a few) but I would rather talk in broad-brush terms.
The fact is that, as a shareholder, you are a part-owner of the business, and the line of men and women sitting behind the fancy trestle table up the front of the auditorium (the management) are, in effect, your staff. Never forget that. They are accountable to you for their actions, and there's nothing like owners and staff staring at each other eyeball to eyeball to keep a lid on the rhetoric.
Consider also that AGMs are legislated to follow certain protocols, which are important. They help protect against omissions of fact; that is, the ducking and dodging by management of those annoying and unpleasant truths that crop up every now and then.
Do not be afraid to use the AGM as a platform to ask your staff sitting up the front why certain actions were or were not taken. You will get your chance after the roving microphone has been wrestled from the guy that security staff are now trying to remove from the building.
You have a voice, so use it, even if you feel that your meagre shareholding does not carry much weight. The point that you make, if well considered, could sway the thinking of other shareholders who had not considered it. You might be nailing a very important issue.
How technology is changing the format
There is a powerful difference between people talking face-to-face and the cold impersonal communication of the digital world. That's why I support the idea of hanging onto the traditional form of AGM. Not everyone agrees with me. Increasingly, convenience is trumping old-world values and it could change how AGMs are held in the future.
Two facts lead us to ask if the format of the AGM should be changed. First, a statistic: only 5 per cent of the top 200 companies draw more than 500 shareholders to their AGM. Combine this with the capabilities of modern digital interconnection. It could mean that "attendance" in the future will be from the convenience of your living room.
In fact, it's with us already. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway live-streamed its AGM on the internet for the first time in April. Interestingly, Buffett did not request it for reasons of shareholder convenience or dwindling attendance numbers. Quite the opposite; he did it because Omaha's Century Link stadium, where the AGM is held each year, could not accommodate the 40,000 people planning to try to get in the door.
If AGMs became exclusively live-streamed it would have its positives and negatives. On the positive side, it would open up access to time-poor shareholders. On the negative side, it would kill personal interaction. So, if things do progress in that direction, I feel it's important for meeting formats to at least accommodate online participation.
How you can prepare
One of the biggest gripes from chairmen, CEOs and senior management is that many shareholders who get up and ask questions at AGMs are poorly prepared. So if you are going to ask a question or vent your spleen, make sure you know your stuff.
If it's a financial question, you need to be well versed in the company's financial statements. Don't step up onto your soapbox. Don't be aggressive. This is not a time to get emotional; it's a time to be cool, informed and factual. That way you will get your best shot at receiving the right answers from the top brass.

Our Services
Endodontic or Root Canal Therapy
Our primary goal is to help patients save their natural teeth. Our practice specializes in Endodontics, commonly referred to as root canal therapy. The word "endo" comes from the Greek language and means "inside" or within. Endodontists work with the "inside" of a tooth. Root canal therapy is commonly performed when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, old restoration, cracks, or trauma. During root canal therapy the pulp of the tooth is removed painlessly under profound anesthesia and then roots are filled with a suitable filling material. Teeth may have 1 to 4 main canals depending on tooth position in the mouth. Extra canals may branch out and are called "accessory canals". We use our expertise, experience and advanced technology including operating microscopes and 3D imaging to find and successfully treat the entire root canal space. Endodontic therapy combined with an appropriate restoration by your dentist can add decades of service to the tooth that otherwise would be extracted.
Endodontic Re-Treatment
Occasionally an endodontically treated tooth may not completely heal after the initial treatment or may develop new problems. Our doctors can diagnose potential causes of post-endodontic disease and save such teeth by re-treating the root canal space and finding and eliminating the problem. Technology and our clinical experience can give your tooth a "second chance" thereby avoiding extraction.
Apical Surgery (Apicoectomy)
In some cases it may be necessary to surgically remove the infection around the roots or the tooth. This is known as an apical surgery or an apicoectomy. Profound anesthesia is used to prevent any discomfort during treatment. Then, after a small incision on the gum, the infected area around the roots of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
Sedation Endodontics
Dental anxiety is common. We understand and respect the fears and concerns some patients have. We strive to create a relaxed environment, and we take time to consult with each patient to determine his or her level of anxiety. Most patients find the experience of having root canal treatment to be much easier than anticipated.
For our patients who have a higher level of dental anxiety, we are equipped to provide sedation in a manner that will ease their fears while keeping them safe and relaxed throughout their procedures.
Safety and comfort have always been – and always will be our top priority. If you are interested in Sedation Endodontics, please contact our office to discuss your options with one of our sedation coordinators.

NORWALK, Conn. — The nation's accounting-standards board voted Thursday to move ahead with a broad overhaul that would require companies to more fully disclose the financial health of their pension plans.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved a project expected to lead to new rules requiring companies to report pension obligations on their balance sheets.
Critics say the current rules allow companies to obscure their future obligations to employees in footnotes, manipulating the profits they report to investors.
"The project intends to make it easier for investors, employees and retirees to understand and assess a company's financial position as well as its ability to carry out the obligations of its pension and post-retirement benefits," said Gerard Carney, spokesman for the standards board.

FASB officials said the new rules could result in hundreds of billions of dollars in defined-benefit pension obligations being shifted onto balance sheets. The move will help retirees determine if their companies can meet pension obligations, officials said.
The board decided to undertake the project in two phases, with the first completed by the end of 2006.
The initial phase will focus on improving transparency by requiring the funded or unfunded status of pension plans be recognized on the balance sheet.
The second phase will tackle issues such as how gains and losses are recognized and how to recognize and display in earnings the elements that affect the cost of providing retirement benefits.
The first phase is not expected to affect how profit is determined, because the pension obligation will be placed in a category known as "other comprehensive income." But FASB officials said the long-term study could affect the bottom line.
"It's long overdue," said Ed Ketz, an associate professor of accounting at Pennsylvania State University and the author of a new book, "Accounting Ethics."
"They're moving in the right direction in terms of studying the issue," he said. "We're not 100 percent sure what they will do as a final rule."
The increased-disclosure requirement could show investors how many pension obligations some older companies have, Ketz said. Exposure of the debts may accelerate a trend in which companies have curtailed their pension benefits, he said.

Malachi Dads Prisons List
We at The Heart of Texas Foundation have as our vision to help create a Malachi Dads chapter in each prison to which are sent our seminary graduates, as "Field Ministers." The Field Ministers are graduates of the Southwestern Seminary at Darrington, which our donors fund and support, and each year new teams of our graduates are sent into the mission fields of other prisons in Texas. To the prisons where our Field Ministers are sent, it is our vision to help begin a Malachi Dads chapter in those prisons. In that way, the Field Ministers can be a "live in" resource to all the inmates who enroll for the 1-year Malachi Dads curriculum. The Field Ministers will be available to counsel, encourage, and guide the Malachi Dads along their way toward reconciliation with their families and children.
In 2014 The Heart of Texas Foundation began the systematic sponsorship, along with local churches in prison areas, of a Chapter of Malachi Dads in our Teas prisons. Here is the ongoing list as we deploy new chapters into the prisons.
2014: Coffield Penitentiary, Tennessee Colony (Palestine Area), Texas, installed May, 2014. Classes began in June. Local volunteers and churches in the Tennessee Colony-Palestine area are sponsoring the chapter, including the purchase of curriculum books for the men who attend. Approximately 32 men began the program, on a strictly voluntary basis.
2015: Darrington Penitentiary, Rosharon, TX
2016: Ferguson Penitentiary, Midway, Texas

The difference between a goal and a dream is this: goals are dreams with deadlines. But what happens when that deadline gets cut short by the unexpected? For hiker Paul Evans, the goal of hiking the entire length of the Appalachian Trail was interrupted by his untimely death at the young age of 53. As a way of honoring her husband's life-long wish to hike the trail, Paul's wife M'Lynn contacted the team at The Dirtbag Diaries podcast to see if they could unite the outdoor community to make Pauls' Appalachian dream a reality. The folks at the podcast teamed up with REI and assembled a relay chain of 40 hikers to carry Paul's hiking boots along the entire length of the iconic trail. The tribute was captured on film by the production company Duct Tape Then Beer in an emotional new film entitled Paul's Boots.
The production company writes, "M'Lynn needed help. Her husband, Paul, was a big guy with a quick wit, a kind heart and a deep passion for the outdoors. When Paul was 42, doctors diagnosed his mother with Parkinson's. He nursed her for four years until her death. His father developed Alzheimer's. The gaps between hiking trips grew longer and longer. Paul's own health began to deteriorate. By 2014, he'd suffered a series of debilitating heart attacks. Even as his body failed him, Paul started to pack for the trip he'd dreamed of completing but hadn't gotten around to — all 2,190 miles of the Appalachian Trail. He organized his food and gear. At night, he'd recount to M'Lynn all he'd learned in his research. His heart no longer allowed him to walk much further than the end of his block, but his soul was ready to go. Next to a full backpack, he left his three polished sets of hiking boots. Last July, Paul passed away. He was 53. In the midst of her grief, M'Lynn had an idea for one final gift to her husband."
The 40 hikers range in age from kids to hikers in their 70s, and when the film recently premiered there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

text: Sold my old snapper a few weeks ago and need to replace it quick. I came across this bobcat 36" hydro for sale in my area and want some input. The guy is asking $2800 for this. Its just over one year old. He was doing lawns part time so the mower doesnt have a ton of hours on it, but I dont think he was too worried about maintenance on the machine. (he has never even had the blades off.) The only problem I noticed with it is that one of the blades was bent. I would like to take a new set over and just make sure everything lines up under the deck (spindles etc.) If it checks out it seems like it would be a good machine. I'd appreciate any input on experience with Bobcats as well as the price for what I'm getting. I haven't seen much discussion about this brand on here. Any reason? Thanks. Joe

The 2017 Audi Q7 is a luxury second generation SUV that has been specially designed to meet the needs of the modern market. Some of the features of this vehicle are also found on the previous model. However, there are others which have been improved and others which are newly introduced. The exterior appearance is one of the areas that have been improved with an objective of making this modern SUV look even more elegant. On the interior there are also some changes and improvements that are meant to make this vehicle optimally luxurious and comfortable. Furthermore, this upcoming SUV has a better performing engine which is able to produce more power while consuming reduced quantities of fuel. Here is a 2017 Audi Q7 review that explains the specific details.
Exterior Design
The 2017 Audi Q7 has undergone some changes on the exterior especially on the front area where the single frame grille has been refreshed to make it look more elegant. The grille extends to touch the sharper looking headlights which have a thinner shape therefore making the vehicle look aggressive. The headlights have three bulb options which are; xenon HID, LED and LED matrix. Below the grille and the headlights there is an enormous bumper which is now wider therefore making it more effective in protecting some of the important features on the front area while at the same time making this SUV look powerful. There are also more noticeable fog lights which are useful in reducing the effects of reflective lights. The engine and the front braking system are cooled by the air that gets in through the air opening on the lower front area. At the back the new SUV comes with reshaped tail lights which are now taller and a sportier exhaust system where the tips are visible on the rear bumper. This 2017 Audi Q7 rides on nineteen inch alloy wheels which are wrapped with high performance tires. The vehicle also comes with more prominent belt line and a roofline that smoothly slants to the back.
Interior Design
This SUV provides optimum comfort through the leather covered seats which are very spacious and are adjustable to let the users sit as comfortably as possible. Most of the interior attributes of this modern SUV are technologically oriented include the automatic dual zone temperature regulator that keeps the interior temperatures at standard levels regardless of the exterior temperatures. The vehicle also comes with modern connection options which include a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless Bluetooth, USB ports, satellite navigation, smart phone connectivity and fast internet. The dashboard has also been made more interactive and user friendly through the different features being neatly arranged. There is an eight inch LCD display that helps in controlling and monitoring the different features of the vehicle. Security and safety are also given priority through provision of different modern attributes including the automatic airbags.
Engine and Performance
2017 Audi Q7 is powered by a 3.0 TFSI V6 engine that has the capacity to generate an optimum power of 333 HP. This particular engine is coupled with a six drive auto transmitter and a four wheel drive motor. The engine enables this SUV accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than six seconds. This engine also comes with improved fuel efficiency especially because the general weight of the upcoming vehicle has been reduced.
Release Date and Price
The 2017 Audi Q7 is anticipated to be available in show rooms for sale in the first quarter of 2016 and the expected starting price will be in the range of $ 48, 000.

Côte de Boeuf
A popular cut of beef in France, a côte de boeuf (literally, "beef rib") is better known as a standing rib roast in the United States. This recipe, from The Cook's Atelier, a cooking school, epicurean center and wine shop in Beaune, France, makes a spectacular yet simple centerpiece for a French-themed dinner party.
- 1 côte de boeuf, 4 to 5 lb. (2 to 2.5 kg)
- Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 3 fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
Remove the côte de boeuf from the refrigerator and let stand for 1 hour to allow it to come to room temperature.
Preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drizzle the beef with olive oil, and season all over generously with salt and pepper.
Preheat a large cast-iron fry pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add the côte de boeuf and sear, without moving it, until the meat is well browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the meat and sear the other side until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Arrange the garlic, thyme and rosemary around the côte de boeuf.
Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat, away from the bone, registers 125°F (52°C) for very rare to rare, 20 to 25 minutes, or until done to your liking.
Transfer to a carving board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Carve the meat from the bone, and cut against the grain into slices 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick. Arrange on a warmed platter and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.

Calculating the manpower requirements for the construction of Neopalatial buildings in Crete: pitfalls, challenges and possibilities
Aegean Studies 1, 2016, 57-81
From the introduction
Construction methods and materials have received a fair amount of attention from scholars of Bronze Age Crete. Particularly in recent decades, discussions on materials and techniques are invariably included in publications of individual buildings or settlements. This attention to the subject of materials and techniques in case studies owes a lot to Joseph Shaw's seminal work published in 1973 and re-edited in 2009, which surveys and synthesizes evidence from a wide range of buildings of all periods, from the beginning of EM to the end of LM , representing all major sites on Crete (Shaw 1973; 2009). It was followed by many articles, each focusing on a particular question (a technique or a type of material) by the same author (Shaw 2009: 220-221 for references) and other scholars, including the reviewer.Download the article (PDF)

Skipper feels the pressure from new challengers in countdown to big fleet racing weekend
Skipper feels the pressure from new challengers in countdown to big fleet racing weekend
After successive victories in the Jumeirah Regatta over the last two years, Toby O'Connell says he and his crew face a major test as they attempt to complete a hat-trick of wins in one of the region's top fleet racing events at the weekend.
On the opening day two years ago, O'Connell had mixed fortunes aboard his 50-foot yacht Yo! and was placed third overnight in Division One of the cruiser class, needing a big fight back 24 hours later to take the prestigious Jumeirah title.
Last year it was virtually plain sailing for the Dubai company director as he won both opening day races, and maintained a 100 per cent record with another success on day two, but he knows it will be much tougher this time.
In the build-up to the eighth Jumeirah Regatta, taking place on Friday and Saturday, he has come under increasing pressure from two new challengers in the Commodores Cup at Dubai Offshore Sailing Club, home base for the majority of the leading cruisers that will be in action next weekend.
Joining the series only after the first two events had been run, Team Premier, skippered by Hannes Waimer, has climbed into second place in the series by winning one race and finishing second or third in the other eight. Meanwhile, David Rostant's Mattafix, another late starter, has won six out of eight events since entering the fray to go third overall and close the gap on leader Yo!
"They're two brand new boats specially designed for racing in Dubai, and they've been giving us a hard time," said O'Connell.
"We'd love to win the Jumeirah Regatta again because the standard of sailing is always so high, the hospitality is great, and it's the highlight of the year for us. But it will be much harder this year."
A month before his first Jumeirah success two years ago, O'Connell guided Yo! to a splendid victory in the King's Cup Regatta in Phuket, while success soon followed in Dubai's Maktoum Sailing Trophy and he also took third place in a fiercely competitive flee race during Cowe's Week in England.
Since then, O'Connell's business commitments have restricted Yo! and it's 15-strong crew to a much more limited race programme, although they will not give up their Jumeirah Regatta title without a fight.
Sponsored by the Jumeirah Group, the Dubai based luxury hotel management company, the regatta brings together much of the top young sailing talent from across the Emirates as well as many of the UAE's most experienced fleet racing specialists.
The event will be split between the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, whose north beach will host the dinghies, Dubai Offshore Sailing Club, which will launch the cruisers, and Mina Seyahi Watersports Club, the event base for the catamarans.

Improving liquidity through efficient stock market structure and operational design
This study is an analysis of the secondary market liquidity on equity markets around the world. The role of operational design of stock exchanges in enhancing liquidity is assessed. The market structure within which exchanges operate is also shown to affect the optimal operational design and liquidity. Narrower tick sizes, designated market makers, centralized limit order books, computerized trading, and strong shareholder rights index all improve liquidity directly and indirectly. Interaction effects among these features result in hybrid auction-dealer systems outperforming pure limit order books or quote-based dealer systems in the race for better liquidity.

"When I needed a map drawn for school I would always get Uncle Pete to draw it."

HBOWarning: Spoilers ahead for Sunday's season-six premiere of "Game of Thrones."
All of the "Game of Thrones" fans most likely had their noses pressed to the screen for Sunday night's premiere. That means you caught every dirty Dothraki word, right?
Well, there may have been some things you didn't catch. In that case, Business Insider has this quick review of what you need to know that might have gotten lost.
The episode picked up right where season five ended, and it definitely presented plenty of twists for our favorite (and not so favorite) citizens of Westeros. As this season veers away from the books, don't forget that author George R.R. Martin is still credited as an executive producer and has surely given the showrunners a sense of where he's going with the story. So there were some moments that jibed with long-held fan theories but still others that really didn't.
Here are the five things you may have missed on the season-six premiere of "Game of Thrones":

Back in April I posted about UK based SFX Magazine searching for the top 50 science fiction and fantasy authors. Well, the results are out and they've released a top 100. The top ten are:
10. Robert Rankin
9. HG Wells
8. Philip K. Dick
7. Iain M. Banks
6. Isaac Asimov
5. George RR Martin
4. Douglas Adams
3. Neil Gaiman
2. JRR Tolkien
1. Terry Pratchett
I think that's a pretty strong list, everyone there a worthy top ten place holder. However, not surprisingly, the results are almost certainly skewed by current events. Almost every one of these things over the years has put J R R Tolkien in the number one spot. It seems like Tolkien is the respected father of all things fantasy and he's naturally accorded first place. It's like trying to play professional tennis – everyone knows that second place is the equivalent of first really, because no normal human can beat Roger Federer. In the same way, no one can really beat Tolkien in a top fantasy author list.
However, this year Tolkien has been relegated to second place by Terry Pratchett. Now, I'm a massive fan of Terry Pratchett and have every book he's ever written. I've read them all too. But I can't help thinking that his position at the top of the list is more to do with a combination of sympathy for the shocking news of his Alzheimer's Disease combined with his higher media profile as a result. Just lately everyone has been reminded of Terry Pratchett. Then again, that's no bad thing. The man is a bloody genius.
The same applies really to Neil Gaiman and Douglas Adams, in third and fourth place respectively. The recent tragic death of Douglas Adams means that he's higher in the minds of fans than usual and Neil Gaiman is such a media whore that he's rarely out of the news at the moment. Talk about the darling of the moment. He does seem to work like a dog too, which helps, naturally. Again, these are two authors that I am an immense fan of and in awe of their ability, but I would hazard that media profile has more to do with this list than anything else. Then again, I suppose that's true of any list. After all, I'm quite clearly the world's sexiest man, but I just don't have the PR required for the world to notice. It's all about getting it out there, baby.
The entire top 100 sci-fi and fantasy authors list, according to SFX, looks like this:
100. James Herbert
99. Gwyneth Jones

Once veterans are out of the military, though, their private physicians might not even think to ask if they've served. That's an oversight one doctor is working to correct. Minding Michigan: When it comes to mental health care safety net, the insured are worst off By Stateside Staff • Jun 30, 2016 http://www.ceicmh.org/ Listen Listening... / 8:57 Our conversation with Bob Sheehan "Minding Michigan" is Stateside's ongoing series that examines mental health issues in our state. How well does Michigan do in helping people who are suffering from mental health problems? When it comes to the mental health care safety net, the answer is troubling. It seems that Michiganders who have private insurance are the ones whose safety net is weakest. Stop driving these older model Honda and Acura vehicles immediately By Tracy Samilton • Jun 30, 2016 NHTSA Every recall is a safety recall, as one of my favorite auto industry analysts, Michelle Krebs of Autotrader says. But there is a lot of recall fatigue out there. And it's dangerous. Autotrader's recent survey finds that 40% of people are ignoring recalls because they think the recall is "not important." So let's cut through that recall fatigue right now. Flint doctors raise concern about water filter effectiveness By Steve Carmody • Jun 30, 2016 steve carmody / Michigan Radio The Genesee County Medical Society suggests pregnant women and children under 6 in Flint should stick to bottled water until more tests are performed. That's despite the fact that federal agencies claimed water filters are working to remove lead from Flint tap water. "We finally have enough data to agree that the filters work so well to remove the lead that everyone in Flint -- even pregnant women, nursing moms and young children -- can used filtered water here," Dr. Nicole Laurie, leader of the federal response to the Flint water crisis, told reporters last week. Report: Water at Michigan Air Force base caused health issues By Lev Facher • Jun 29, 2016 Mike Fritcher / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Wurtsmith Air Force base in Oscoda Charter Township has served as home to B-52 bombers and F-106 fighter jets. During the height of the Cold War, there were even plans to turn it into one of the few American military installations to house trains capable of launching intercontinental ballistic missiles. The base closed in 1993. Now, according to an MLive report, it might become known for something else. Pneumonia cases in Flint raise questions about official Legionnaires' death toll By Stateside Staff • Jun 28, 2016 CDC Public Health Library / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Listen Listening... / 16:53 Our conversation with Chastity Pratt Dawsey and LaShema Marble. There were 91 people who contracted Legionnaires' disease in Genesee County in 2014 and 2015. It was a spectacular spike in cases in a county which averaged fewer than 10 cases of legionella over the prior four years. Records show that 12 of those 91 patients died. Crowd funding platform offers grassroots input on medical research By Stateside Staff • Jun 24, 2016 Screen grab of "Lifestyle Changes & IBD: Dr. Peter Higgins explains his research proposal" / UMHealthSystem When dealing with health issues, it's pretty common for us to turn to the internet. There, we hope to find information and answers. But Eric Polsinelli didn't feel he could trust the internet to answer questions he had about inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Feds now say filtered Flint tap water OK for kids and pregnant women By Steve Carmody • Jun 23, 2016 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Health officials say filtered Flint tap water is now safe enough for children and pregnant women to drink. For months, concerns about potential lead exposure from the tap prompted federal, state and local officials to urge kids and pregnant women to only drink bottled water in Flint. But that recommendation is changing. Dr. Nicole Lurie is an Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She's leading the federal response to the Flint Water Crisis. After a decade of illness, former Wolverine thanks plant-based diet for renewed health By Ryan Grimes • Jun 17, 2016 Marc Ramirez Listen Listening... / 6:48 Our conversation with Marc Ramirez of Chick and Bean nonprofit In the late 1980s, Marc Ramirez played football for the University of Michigan. While he was playing he was able to eat pretty much whatever he wanted and stay healthy. Then he graduated, and without all that physical activity, he started gaining weight and developing health problems. Case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever confirmed in Michigan By The Associated Press • Jun 16, 2016 Jerry Kirkhart / Creative Commons http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Michigan health officials say they've confirmed the first case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever contracted in the state since 2009. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday that the case involved a child in Cass County in the southwestern corner of the state. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by bacteria and can be fatal if not treated promptly and correctly, even in previously healthy people. Symptoms typically include fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and muscle pain. A rash may develop a few days later. Was ALS really the cause of Lou Gehrig's death? By Stateside Staff • Jun 15, 2016 Wikimedia Commons On the Fourth of July in 1939, Lou Gehrig said farewell to fans at Yankee Stadium because he had contracted a fatal disease. He added, "I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for." Gehrig was diagnosed with ALS, more commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease." Regular Stateside contributor Dr. Howard Markel said there are some questions as to whether Gehrig received the proper diagnosis. If it wasn't ALS, then what could have killed the Yankee legend? GUEST Federal government helping poor Flint families get access to healthy food By Steve Carmody • Jun 15, 2016 steve carmody / Michigan Radio The federal government will soon begin offering 17,000 Flint households monthly packages of healthy foods. Working with local food banks and feeding organizations, USDA will provide an additional 14-pound nutrient-targeted food package, containing foods rich in calcium, iron, and Vitamin C. The intent is to limit the absorption of lead from Flint's tainted drinking water. Kevin Concannon is with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He says the state has been helping since the city's water emergency was declared earlier this year. Life-like mannequins help nursing students train for real life By Kyle Norris • Jun 6, 2016 These mannequins are eerie. From the frozen look on their faces to their mouths which are almost always slightly ajar. Then there's the stuff they can do. The mannequins can "breathe" with a chest that rises and falls. They can convulse and bleed and vomit and even birth a baby. The entire point of these high-fidelity mannequins is to make them as realistic as possible, so they can be an effective learning tool for future medical professionals. Michigan Legislature crafts opioid bills to stem addiction By The Associated Press • Jun 4, 2016 steve carmody / Michigan Radio LANSING, Mich. (AP) - People addicted to opioids in the remote Upper Peninsula city of Escanaba have a rare group of people to turn to for treatment: the police. Escanaba Lt. Robert LaMarche, the soon-to-be director of the Escanaba police, says they won't arrest people seeking addiction treatment if drug possession is their only crime.

Man who had artificial heart in backpack gets real one By The Associated Press • May 28, 2016 GABRIELA CAMEROTTI / FLIKR ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - A Washtenaw County man has a real heart - after 555 days without one. Stan Larkin received a heart transplant on May 9 at University of Michigan hospital and soon plans to return home to Ypsilanti. Larkin's story is remarkable. Before the transplant, the 25-year-old carried a backpack with an artificial heart that pumped blood. The Ann Arbor News says he was diagnosed with a disease that causes irregular heartbeats and can lead to sudden death. A brother, Domonique Larkin, also needed a heart transplant. What you need to know about lead in your garden By Lindsey Scullen • May 27, 2016 Flickr user kattebelletje/Flickr / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 Drinking lead-tainted water is out of the question, as is cooking with it and bathing in it.

Tiny specks still causing big headaches at Ann Arbor VA Hospital By Tracy Samilton • May 25, 2016 wikimedia / creative commons Last fall, operating room nurses at Ann Arbor's Veterans Administration hospital began noticing little specks of particulate matter in surgical instrument trays. The specks meant that surgery had to be rescheduled or canceled, if a speck-free replacement tray was unavailable. Initially attributed solely to a water main break, months later, some surgeries are still being canceled due to particulate matter on the trays, despite the hospital taking a number of steps. Eric Young is acting director of the Ann Arbor VA. There's a veterinarian in every Michigan county, but almost a third have no OBGYN By Ryan Grimes • May 24, 2016 flickr user Lorie Shaull / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Planned Parenthood has been getting some very strong pressure from pro-life supporters, including members of the state Legislature, who want to shut the organization down because it provides abortions. Or, at the very least, they want to severely restrict Planned Parenthood's funding and operations. Fast food, fast food everywhere, but no cheap healthy eats By Ryan Grimes • May 23, 2016 flickr user ebruli / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Fast food has dramatically changed our food landscape. Unlike our parents or grandparents, we don't have to plan too far ahead to figure out what's for dinner tonight. But the greater variety and convenience of ready-to-eat meals hasn't made finding good food easier for everyone. Special programs giving Flint children access to fluoride By Steve Carmody • May 23, 2016 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio New programs are getting underway in Flint to help protect the teeth of thousands of children. Since Flint's drinking water crisis began, parents have stopped letting their children drink from the kitchen faucet. But while that is protecting the kids from contaminants in the water, it's also cutting them off from fluoride added to the water to protect their teeth. "We do know that kids who don't have access to fluoridated water are much more likely to develop cavities," says Terri Battaglieri, director of the Delta Dental Foundation. Michigan bill requires equal health coverage of cancer drugs By The Associated Press • May 21, 2016 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio LANSING, Mich.

Accounting for human flaws may bring fewer medical errors By Lindsey Scullen • May 19, 2016 Flickr user Alex Proimos/Flickr / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 The Next Idea Fewer Michiganders without health insurance, federal report says By Virginia Gordan • May 19, 2016 Pallnn Ooi / Flickr Creative Commons http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM The Michigan population without health insurance has dropped substantially since start of the Affordable Care Act, according to a report this week by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The percentage of uninsured Michiganders fell to 7% in 2015, down from more than 10% uninsured the previous year. Michigan did even better than the U.S. as a whole, with the national uninsured population falling to a historic low of 9.1% in 2015. Death expert: Talking about funerals won't kill you By Ryan Grimes • May 17, 2016 flickr user Stephan Ridgway / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Let's start with an undeniable fact: Someday, every single one of us is going to die.

NYPD to beef up Times Square force in response to hucksters
With City Hall deciding what to do about topless painted ladies and costumed characters in Times Square, the NYPD Wednesday said it would hasten the deployment of more cops there in its new neighborhood policing initiative.
"Times Square is an important piece of real estate in New York City and we have to pay attention to what goes on there," Chief of Department James O'Neill said.
The current force of about 50 Operation Impact officers would grow to 100 by October, O'Neill added. The initiative represents an acceleration of plans to add Times Square to the new neighborhood policing program used in a handful of other precincts.
The strategy is based on the idea that cops who are familiar with the areas they patrol can do a better job and build rapport with the public. Police will be assigned to the so called "bow tie" area, which runs from Times Square at 42nd Street to 49th Street up Broadway. "We are looking to get the same people, on the same post for the same time period everyday," O'Neill said.
