Nico Rosberg's lead over Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton may be down to a single point midway through the Formula One championship, but the German driver appeared as relaxed as ever.
Rosberg, who has five victories and 168 points this season to four and 167 for Hamilton, said that the Hungarian Grand Prix, which Hamilton has won four times, does not feel different to him than any other race, even if Hamilton may have cost Rosberg a win here in 2014 by ignoring team orders to let Rosberg pass.
Rosberg, who was runner-up behind two-time defending champion Hamilton in 2014 and 2015, said not even the usual team analysis of last year's race at the Hungaroring would do much good.
While Mercedes has won nine of 10 races this season and 41 of the last 48, the team has been below par in Hungary lately.
Australia's Daniel Ricciardo won for Red Bull in 2014 and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was first last year.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen was fourth here in 2015 and is the only non-Mercedes driver to win this year.
The slow, winding track is often compared to the Monaco circuit and Red Bull's chances here were judged to be good by no other than Mercedes chief Toto Wolff, who said the team was a "major threat", especially if it rains on Sunday. Early forecasts say there is a slight chance for showers on race day.
Rosberg was also relaxed about the new radio communication rules between teams and drivers during the race.
He was penalised 10 seconds at Silverstone because instructions from Mercedes warning about problems with the gearbox and telling him to avoid seventh gear were judged to contravene rules making drivers perform "alone and unaided".
Although he finished second behind Rosberg, the penalty pushed Rosberg back to third.
New rules from FIA, motorsport's governing body, say teams will be forced to call the drivers into pit lane for repairs – or to withdraw from the race – if they warn them of any malfunctions, motorsport.com reported.
Radio rules are "not something I think about", Rosberg said, while acknowledging that all the advice and instructions drivers were getting during the race frustrated fans.

What it says in the papers
Here are the seven stories you need to know about
'A drowned toddler - the harrowing symbol of EU's migrant crisis' is the main headline on the front page of today's 'Irish Independent'.
The headline is based on a photograph of a Turkish policeman tenderly picking up the body of a toddler from the shoreline near Bodrum in Turkey.
"The harrowing image of the body of a little boy, still dressed in a bright red T-shirt and shorts, has provoked outrage across the world and become the symbol of Europe's migrant crisis," the report states.
Although the images are disturbing, the newspaper says they decided to publish them as they capture the reality of the human tragedy of Europe's migrant crisis.
The heartbreaking image features on most of the front pages today.
'Labour's warning to FG: stand by the AG' is the other headline on the front page.
Philip Ryan reports that the Labour Party has warned Coalition partners Fine Gael to brace for a bitter row if they try to make Attorney General Maire Whelan the scapegoat for the damaging findings in the Fennelly Commission.
'Tout of Order' is the main headline on the front page of today's 'Herald'.
Ryan Nugent and Robin Schiller report that "business is booming for ticket touts ahead of Dublin's crunch All-Ireland clash this weekend".
The paper reports how one tout approached the 'Herald' charging €100 for €30 Hogan Stand tickets for Saturday's match - and carrying a picture of the man.
'We must take more refugees' is the other headline on the front page. Ralph Riegel reports on how a United Nations official has warned that Ireland must do much more to help the EU cope with the worst migrant crisis since the end of World War II.
Peter Sutherland said it was simply not sufficient to accept just 600 to 1,000 refugees until 2017.
'Tax surge adds to calls for more spending in budget' is the main headline on the front page of today's 'Irish Times'.
Tax figures are €1.4 billion ahead of predictions for 2015.
The latest exchequer figures will increase pressure on the Government to spend more and cut taxes in the next budget, the newspaper reports.
'Sister Act 3' is the main headline on the front page of today's 'Irish Sun'.
The newspaper reports how three sisters gave birth to three babies on the same day in the same hospital in Castlebar, Co Mayo.
Mairead Fitzpatrick, Joeline Godfrey and Bernie Ward became mums just hours apart. A fourth sister, Christina Murray, is also due.
'Connolly appeal fails' is the main headline in today's 'Irish Independent Sport'.
Dublin player Diarmuid Connolly has lost his appeal against his one match ban.
The case was before the GAA's Central Hearings Committee last night.
Connolly was seen to strike Mayo's Lee Keegan in last Sunday's All Ireland semi final on Sunday.
Keegan received a yellow card, while Connolly got a red card and was sent off, picking up a one match ban.
Connolly will now not play in replay this Saturday.

Trevors Treasures is such a wonderful organization! It helps so many kids and families all year round. I watched Trevor hand out gifts one day he was visiting the onchology department at Fairfax Hospital and it was just amazing to see their little faces light up... a free present, it's not my birthday not Christmas, just because ... how great is that??? Trevor is just such an amazing kid with a heart the size of Texas and he loves to give joy to others. It's wonderful to watch and you feel so special being a part of that.
Trevor gives toys/games away to kids of all ages and sometimes it's to help a mother who has spent her entire month of December or more at the hospital with her child, help her with gifts for siblings etc.

IPL 2017 will take place as scheduled, confirms CoA chief Vinod Rai
The tournament opener will be played by Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
What's the story?
Quashing all murmurs casting doubts over the 2017 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) confirmed that the tournament will indeed take place as scheduled. "IPL (2017) is happening and it is on schedule," CoA chief Vinod Rai told India Today.
On the committee's role in reforming cricket administration in India, he felt, "We are trying our best to be in the saddle. Our commitment was to bring undiluted cricket to the country. The CoA appointed by the Supreme Court are established people in the governance. There is a model constitution put out and the state association will have to put it out. Most of the state associations are co-operating. We are trying to implement the (Lodha panel) recommendations as early as possible."
In case you didn't know...
Earlier this month, the 2017 IPL was in jeopardy in the wake of state associations facing a severe shortage of cash. Speaking to Sportskeeda, a source in Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) revealed that the organization had not received the customary advance from BCCI to start preparing for the tournament.
The heart of the matter
Each state association, who stages the IPL, usually receives INR 60 lakhs per match. While INR 30 lakhs are funded by the participating franchises, the BCCI releases the remaining amount necessary to cover expenditure related to floodlights, venue preparation and ground staff. A portion of the money will be provided to them in advance by the BCCI.
Also read: Delhi elections force changes in IPL 2017 schedule
There was uncertainty regarding the flow of funds as the Supreme Court had declared that state associations were not to receive any capital unless they adopted the Lodha panel's recommendations. Apart from CAB, the likes of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) and Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) also urged the immediate disbursement of funds.
Even as Rai insisted that the state associations are co-operating with the proceedings, the CoA have sought the Supreme Court's intervention to ensure the smooth conduct of the fourth Test in Dharamsala as well as the IPL.
What's next?
With only one more match left before the 2016/17 season comes to a close for India, the focus will then shift to the IPL. Defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad and runners-up Royal Challengers Bangalore are set to begin the tournament at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on April 5.
Author's Take
Over the course of the season, the transition in BCCI's administration has threatened to take the limelight away from the on-field action. With the CoA gradually settling in on their role, there are increased expectations that the state associations will eventually adopt the proposed reforms. However, Vinod Rai's assurance will certainly allay the fears of the cricket-crazy Indian public who enjoy watching the IPL.

Custom Product Feed Management
- Join Date
- August 20th, 2008

I'm looking for a user-friendly program or script that can handle product feed management for several of my sites.
I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
I would like it to be either php or html based or something that is search engine friendly, so that products and categories get indexed as individual pages of my website.
Since I would be using multiple product feeds from multiple affiliate networks, I would need the ability to reconcile or synchronize the different fields that I would be getting from CJ.Com vs. Shareasale.com for example.
Also, I would like to have my set of categories and sub-categories, such as "Shopping > Jewelry > Bracelet" or "Shopping > Wedding > Wedding Invitations", etc. -- but since each affiliate merchant's product feed uses different category names, I would also be able to synchronize or assign their categories to my original ones that I choose for my site.
Ideally, I would like to be able to have the program automatically retrieve product feeds from a URL or server that I specify for each feed automatically (updated once per 24 hours, for example).
Is there a robust, easy to use program out there for such a thing? I am not familiar with PHP myself, so I need an already made program or a custom programmer that can have this made for me!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Apples of Gold

To be honest I don't think there is an out of box solution. Everything you mentioned though could be done with PHP.Thanks,

Return of the Road Warriors...?
I posted these images on Instagram recently, and because of the way my app can crop the image when posting I thought it would be good to share the full artwork here on my blog:
These drawings are based on characters and imagery from an old web comic I used to illustrate and write many years ago called Jessie Kane. I'm in a place right now where I'm feeling a strong need to re-visit that post apocalypse world, originally created with the working title of Danger Days, and tell the stories that I never got to publish. But, that was many years ago and my writing and art have moved on. So, always to look at these things as an opportunity, I'm currently putting things where they need to be, and if they land where I like them. Who knows, maybe the road warriors will ride again, fighting gangs, mutants and staying shiny and chrome!

Gizmodo reports a scanner that could read people at the molecular level has been invented. This laser-based scanner – which can be used 164-feet away — could read everything from a person's adrenaline levels, to traces of gun powder on a person's clothes, to illegal substances — and it can all be done without a physical search. It also could be used on multiple people at a time, eliminating random searches at airports.
The laser-based scanner is expected to be used in airports as soon as 2013, Gizmodo reports....
Although the technology could be used by "Big Brother," Genia Photonics states that the device could be far more beneficial being used for medical purposes to check for cancer in real time, lipids detection, and patient monitoring.
It is a sure bet that Homeland Security could never resist using such a device. If it is there, they will use it, and not just at the airports. If the legislature tried to prevent it, they would create another "false flag" operation to convince everyone that they should be allowed to use it.

An accomplished musician, James Lobban was educated locally at Mile-End Primary School and Aberdeen Grammar School before graduating from Aberdeen University with an Honours Degree in Music in 1964. In 1959 he played organ in a performance of the 'Messiah' at Inverurie West Church and in 1962 James became organist at Rutherford Church of Scotland in Aberdeen. 1966 saw James become Principal Teacher of Music at Inverurie Academy and despite this new challenge, he still managed to fit in a solo performance of Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto in G minor with the University Symphony Orchestra the following year. He moved on to become Principal Teacher of Music at Hazlehead Academy, a post he held until shortly before his death on Friday 10 November 2006. A dedicated member of St. Machar's Cathedral Choir, James sang bass and in 1981 was promoted to the post of Organist and Choirmaster of the Cathedral, which he held until his death. James was Principal Examiner in Music for Scotland from 1987 until 1995.
James joined Aberdeen Bach Choir on a part-time basis in the 1960s and was promoted to the position of conductor in 1969, becoming largely responsible for the varied repertoire performed over the years. He continued as conductor until, after the December 2005 concert, illness forced him to give up his duties.
Tributes to James, whose contribution to the life of the Choir is incalculable, have been written by Robert Wilson and Alison Shiel. An obituary by Gordon Casely appeared in The Herald on 15 November 2006. Alan Falconer, Minister at the Cathedral, delivered a moving tribute at the funeral service held in St Machar's Cathedral on 16 November 2006.

The cost of roof repairs and roof replacement can run into the thousands of dollars. In most cases, there are no alternatives to roof repair and in the worst of cases, the more expensive roof replacement when the roof I damaged. When you have roof leaks and structural damage, there is a huge risk to the entire house and the structural stability of the house. Therefore, most homeowners have to dig deeper into their pockets or take up loans to fund such projects.
However, as it is always said, prevention is better than cure. The best way to ensure you do not run into such precarious situation is to prevent them altogether. This means ensuring that the entire roofing structure is in good shape all through the year. There are plenty of companies that can help with this such as dialoneroofing.com but it's also easy to do some of the maintenance yourself.
Herein are some of the easiest maintenance jobs you can do as DIY projects to ensure your roof remains in good shape. They will also keep the expensive roof repairs and replacement at bay.
Regular Roof Cleaning
This may seem like an absurd thing to indulge in, but it works wonders in preserving the life of your roof. Cleaning your roof, which involves removing, sweeping and or blowing off debris from the roof reduces the pressure on the roof structure. This is especially important when the debris in question is snow during winter.
Other debris such as leaves create dump environments which are perfect conditions for growth of moss and algae. Removing such debris ensures the roof surface and the roofing structure is in good condition by negating the growing conditions for moss and algae.
Checking For And Preventing Moss And Algae Growth
Moss and algae are very adaptive plants that can grow on hard surfaces. They thus have the ability to grow on shingles surfaces. Once they grow, they also weaken the shingles and reduce the life of the shingles in question. To this end, you should inspect your roof often for signs of moss and algae growth. If there are signs of moss and algae growth, you should opt to install lead or zinc strips that prevent their growth.
Inspect For Signs Of Animal Damage
The entire roofing structure creates very conducive conditions for the habitations of animals. Animals such birds, rats and raccoons are known to establish their habitats in the roof of houses. However, they do pose a grave danger as they are known to cause structural damages on the roof which may lead to other undesirable effects.
You should, therefore, inspect the roof structure every so often for signs of animal infestation. If you find an animal population that you can easily get rid of, do so at the first available opportunity. However, if the population seem to be overbearing, consider hiring pest control professionals.
Perform Fixes When You Notice Small Roof Damages
While inspecting your roof, if you find evidence of roof damage, opt to perform roof fixes immediately. This includes replacing any missing, curling or damaged shingles. Replacing a couple of shingle is cheaper than ignoring them only later to be forced to replace the entire roof. Other fixes include fixing the cracks and priming and shingle suffering from rust.

Four-Year Cycle Update
Dow Jones Industrial Average 10,487
Value Line Arithmetic Index 1,882
30-Year Treasury Index 4.30%
Gold 1/10 Ounce $44.2
The Big Picture for Stocks
The cycle is negative into 2006.
Technical Trendicator (1-4 month trend):
Stock Prices Down
Bond Prices Down
Gold Price Up
In July of 2001, I wrote this in my column at Merrill Lynch:
"[The 4-year cycle] has been persistent, going back even 200 years. In recent years, there have been stock market bottoms approximately every 4 years. Such bottoms include 1962, 1966, 1970, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1987 (a year late), 1990, 1994, and 1998. The next one would fall in 2002.
The accompanying chart shows a comparison of the Dow from the low of the current 4-year cycle versus the Dow during a previous 4-year cycle of the early 1970's. There are significant similarities.
Here is strategy concept based on this cycle:
- First year (as identified by a significant drop in the 4 th year)---BUY AND HOLD.
- Second year ---BUY ON DIPS.
- Third year ---TRADE FOR SHORT TERM PROFITS. KEEP STOP LOSSES IN.
- Fourth year ---HOLD CASH AND WAIT PATIENTLY.
Looking closely at the chart, if the parallel continues, we could expect a bounce in the Dow back to the umbrella line into August, then down sharply into next year [2002]."
It is amazing how predictive the 4-year cycle has been. The words and advice I wrote almost exactly four years ago turned out to be correct. The market had a severe downward period into 2002. Then a new bull market began. Today, were are in exactly the same point in the cycle. The advice is the same now as then:
Hold cash and wait patiently.
While we occasionally find opportunities that are worth holding through a cycle (our Special Situations list), the bulk of your money ought to be in cash, in my opinion. Our Special Situations have had spectacular results - annualized rates of return in excess of 100% per annum, but we cannot expect such high returns to continue indefinitely.
The Dow peaked out for this cycle in March 2005, and the broader market indexes probably peaked in August. You can see the history of the 4-year cycle in the Dow in the table below.

First I want to say Congrats on the baby!! I know you are in a difficult position right now and first and foremost I say follow your heart. What is right for one person may not be the right choice for another person.
On a positive note, I have a perfectly heathly GORGEOUS (I'm biased) 3 month old daughter who I carried while continuing my remicade treatments. I think I had 4 treatments while I was pregnant, the last one being at 31 weeks. My husband and I went to see my GI before we even started trying for baby #2 and my GI strongly recommended continuing the treatments during the pregnancy. I intended to see my OB and get his opinion, but I got pregnant on the first try (sorry if that's TMI) before I made it to my appt. My OB wasn't completely for the treatments because he had never treated a crohn's patient on remicade, but said if I needed the medication to stay healthy then it was better for the baby for me to continue. I had ALOT of days where I worried and cried wondering if I had made the right choice for me or for my daughter. But then I would remember my first pregnancy with my 3 year old daughter. IT WAS HORRIFIC!!! I didn't know at the time that I had crohn's, but at 12 weeks I started having the worst pain in my life and ended up in the ER. After months of weekly dr visits, limited testing to try and dx me, pain meds and 30+ days in the hospital, I delivered a perfectly healthy baby girl. After I was dx'd about 3-4 months after she was born, my new GI told me that I was lucky I carried her to term and made it thru myself. I had a partial obstruction during the pregnancy which was dangerous because they didn't know what it was at the time and it wasn't being treated at all.
For me, with the second baby, staying on the meds was my ONLY option. Without the remicade I would not have even considered having another child. Everyone has to make the choice that is right for them and their significant other. You have to do what is right for you in your heart and mind. If you trust your GI and OB..go with what they are suggesting. I know for me that was key. There are MANY others on this forum who have successful stories of pregnancy/delivery of babies while on Remicade. I am not sure that I have heard of any miscarriages known to be caused by remicade treatments.
Congradulations first of all. Second, I,like you,was diagnosed with Crohn's at age 10. I just recently turned 40. I was the youngest person in our area to be diagnosed with this and it wasn't until 3 years after my first surgery. I was origanally thought to have a burst appendix and when exploratory surgery revealed appendix was fine(it was removed anyway), the surgeons found what they thought were polyps. 18 inches of my small intestine was removed. 3 years later, i was hospitalized for anorexia nervosa and being intraveinously and force fed. I dropped half my body weight during the summer between 9th and 10th grade. I was 90 lbs starting high school. Absolutely no one believed who I was. The anorexia was misdianosed and after extensive testing, I finally was told it was Crohn's. I missed most of my 10th grade year.
My treatment consisted mainly of the drugs Azulfidine,Prednisone,Flagyl and other various antibiotics. Drs. did not know much on how to treat such a young person with Crohn's so much of it was trial and error.
A couple years after high school, I got married. Crohn's had flared up and done a lot of damage to my insides. I've had fistulas from my small intestine to every organ but my lungs,heart and those above chest. I had to have my right side ovary and fallopian tube removed due to extensive damage(tubes and ovaries were switched places with kidneys). I was told that I would never be able to get pregnant(chances were less than one percent of conceiving) and could not carry a child to full term if I did. One year after the partial hysterectomy, I thought the Crohn's was flaring up and was put back on Azulfidine and Prednisone. An ultrasound revealed I was pregnant. The drs. kept me on the meds during the pregnancy at low doses and I was checked on twice a week. My due date was Nov. 4,1991. My son arrived Dec. 1rst. Although he was only 6lbs and 13 oz, I required a lot of stitching back together. My ob-g said that my insides had not fully matured so it was like a 10 year giving birth to a bowling ball. Everything else went pretty good. 17 months later, I had a baby girl. Due to the damage from my son's birth, she was a planned c-section, weighing 5lbs and 7 oz. Both pregnancies I was taking the medications.
My children are now 17 and 15. The meds I was taking did affect their permanent teeth development. They both have a slight yellow tint that the dentist attributted to the sulfa drugs and bleaching will not help. The kids understand and have been a God send for me. I now have a total hysterectomy(not even the cervix is left,thank goodness no more paps!) and have had permanent colostomy. The next time I have to have surgery, will probably be my last, as I have only a few feet of intestines left.
My kids are proof that even though impossible odds are hard to beat, that less than 1 percent is there. By the way, both of my kids taller than me now.Matthew is 17 and 6'3". Elizabeth is 15 and 5'7". I am 5'4". There dad is 5'6"(we're divorced now). I wish you all the luck in the world, blessings of good health and hopes of a wonderful future.

Moga (Punjab), Nov 28 (IANS) Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Saturday advised newly-appointed state Congress chief Amarinder Singh to shun confrontation and adopt consensus in politics so that Punjab could remain a peaceful state and become a more developed one.
Addressing the second 'Sadbhawna Rally' of the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal here, Badal said that he was ready to sacrifice his life to ensure peace in Punjab.
"I have apprised (son) Sukhbir (Badal) that this path of preserving the peace was strewn with thorns and peril to life but we are ready to make every sacrifice for the sake of state and its people," he said.
Calling upon all political parties, leaders and religious leaders to join hands to ensure peace in the state, Badal told them to "shun dirty politicking" to foil the attempts of divisive forces to push the state back into the black days of militancy.
"It is high time that the Lok Sabha MP from Amritsar (Amarinder Singh) should shun the politics of confrontation and adopt the politics of consensus. The politics of confrontation pursued by Captain has already ruined his political career as the people of state have rejected him twice.
"He should give up arrogance and indulge in constructive politics for the sake of overall development of state and welfare of its people," he said.
Punjab has seen turmoil in the past over two months with protests against incidents of sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib leading to violence. The Akali Dal has blamed the state Congress leadership for the turmoil and siding with radical Sikhs to disturb peace.
"The Congress is again trying to bring the troublesome periods back in the state by hobnobbing with the radical elements and pursuing its age old policy of 'divide and rule'," Badal claimed.
Addressing the rally, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said the Congress, especially the Gandhi family, was a sworn enemy of Sikhs as it was responsible for attacking Sri Akal Takht Sahib as well as the 1984 Sikh genocide. He said that the Congress was again conspiring with anti-national forces.
He claimed the comeback of Amarinder Singh as Punjab Congress president will hardly help the party.
"This so-called big war horse of Congress had tasted defeat at the hands of the Akali Dal twice and is now staring at a third straight defeat in 2017 assembly polls," he said.
Taking a dig at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Sukhbir called it a 'Topiwali Party' and said: "The party which has ruined Delhi, is now training its guns on Punjab."

The role of illegal and inappropriate speed
is well established in respect of its influence on the frequency
and severity of crashes. The contribution that speed has upon
the quality of life is well understood.
Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) is
a local authority with both urban centres and rural villages.
The majority of requests and enquiries from the public received
by the Traffic & Safety team relate to problems caused by
speeding traffic, both in urban and rural areas. In many cases,
these requests relate to sites with a low or non-existent "accident"
record. This makes it difficult to justify expenditure on these
schemes on the basis of traditional "rate of return"
criteria. However, the sheer volume of such requests suggests
that speed is perceived as a significant problem, while the lack
of casualties implies that people deal with the danger by avoiding
certain locations or journeys.
The restriction of the independent mobility
of children and elderly people due to traffic danger has enormous
implications for the health and development of both groups. The
stress experienced by those living in areas exposed to speeding
traffic, together with the impact on social cohesion from roads
which sever the community, are likely to have a negative impact
upon the quality of life.
Urban design needs to be predicated on the principal
that the safest access for all road users is essential. As the
least protected of road users pedestrians, cyclists and public
transport users need to receive priority. Therefore safe access
on foot needs to be ensured in the design of amenities and road
design needs to reflect this by reducing the capacity for motor
vehicles to endanger other road users. As research shows that
traffic speeds above 20 mph pose a significant risk of severe
injury or death to vulnerable road users in collision with motor
vehicles, then a 20 mph limit should be the norm in mixed use
and residential areas. Roads need to be designed to eliminate
the possibility of faster traffic.
On the same principle, the Home Zone concept
needs to become established as a standard for new residential
There is a considerable amount of consistent
research about the consequences of speed on crash frequency and
severity. Less is available on the "quality of life"
impact as discussed above.
There has been useful research on the causes
of excess speed, (including useful recent research from the AA
Foundation). While such research looks at aspects of road design
and the attributes of various driver types (by age, gender, etc)
which are correlated with anti social driver behaviour, there
is a lack of analysis of the background cultural assumptions which
legitimise aggressive or irresponsible driving. As these assumptions
go deep, including the cultural meanings attached to various aspects
of driver behaviour, and are transmitted and reinforced through
everyday experience of the media (films, TV, newspapers, advertising,
etc), any analysis that leaves such factors out of account will
be less effective as a guide to remedial action.
Better enforcementenforcement
is the clearest indication of the social unacceptability of speeding.
However, enforcement is hampered by lack of public support (eg
the perception that police should be catching "real criminals")
and a perceived leniency in terms of sentencing by the courts.
In this light, the use of "Driver Improvement Programmes"
for convicted offenders has been shown to be helpful in raising
awareness that speeding is not a trivial or victimless offence.
Unfortunately, the soft line taken recently
on speed camera signing and location has not been helpful. The
lack of emphasis on traffic policing in the recent White Paper
on policing has also sent out the wrong message.
Road redesign and traffic calmingthere
is an unhelpful legacy here in as much as road design in the past
has often encouraged speeding by making life easier for the driver
(longer sight lines, removal of "aggressive" objects,
roads designed to high speed specifications in areas where limits
apply, etc). The recent emphasis on, for example, self enforcing
20 mph zones is helpful, but traffic calming can be a very expensive
option. Recent increases in funding have been helpful, but the
"rate of return" criteria can be a limiting influence,
making it difficult to justify spending where fear of traffic,
rather than a casualty record, is being addressed.
Road reclassificationThe AA Report
(cited above) shows that, for many drivers, a perception of inconsistency
in speed limits undermines their credibility and therefore the
degree of compliance. A robust system of road classification could
help in this regard, related to the range of uses of a particular
road or street. Residential roads would therefore normally have
a 20 mph speed limit, for example, on the clear principle that
higher speeds would pose an unacceptable threat to vulnerable
road users.
Pedestrian barrierssuch devices,
while offering some protection for pedestrians send out the wrong
signal. In a situation where vulnerable road users are threatened
by motor vehicles, it seems absurd to place the restriction on
the vulnerable, especially when we want to encourage more people
to walk. A better policy would be to address the source of danger.
Technologythe fact that a large
proportion of drivers admit to regularly ignoring speed limits
suggests that they feel themselves to be the best judges of what
constitutes "appropriate speed". The correlation between
speed and collisions shows this judgement to be flawed. Technology
which takes the choice of whether to comply with limits away from
the driver is both available and potentially very useful. Either
through the use of roadside transponders or satellite technology,
variable speed limiters on vehicles are probably the most likely
means of eliminating excess speed as a social problem. They would
need to be more sophisticated to eliminate the problem of inappropriate
speed, but there is no reason in principle why this could not
be done.
Educationthis is the key to the
effectiveness of all the other approaches. Unless public perception
about the impact on speeding is changed, lack of public support
is likely to undermine strategies based on speed cameras, new
speed limits, traffic calming and new technology.
There is an apparent paradox here. Whilst a
majority of drivers regularly break speed limits and there is
considerable opposition from motorists and the media to the use
of speed cameras and enforcement in general, the problem of traffic
speed features highly in surveys of the public, particularly in
the context of Crime and Disorder surveys or Safer Routes to School
What this suggests is that people perceive speed
differently depending upon whether they identify themselves as
a driver, a resident or a parent. In the B&NES area, this
has become evident as we have worked more closely with the police
to target areas for speed enforcement in response to resident's
concerns. When police have carried out enforcement activity they
usually find the majority of offenders are local residents. In
other words, these communities are looking for the local authority
to solve problems they are creating themselves.
In response to this phenomenon, we recently
piloted an approach whereby, in exchange for providing speed reduction
measures the community was required to disseminate information
about the impact of speeding, both in general and within the locality.
Residents were also asked to sign a "no speeding pledge".
We are still trialling this approach to see if it has any longer
term impact.
In general, education is the most appropriate
means of challenging the cultural values and peer pressures which
make speeding such a normal and accepted part of driver behaviour.
Are relevant bodies taking the right action?
Local Authoritiesthere is a tendency
to address speeding as a problem only where there is a proven
speed related casualty record. This means that investment in remedial
measures can be easily prioritised and justified. But is also
shows the weakness of a casualty reduction approach, If our objective
is to make roads safer for everyone, then remedial action can
free up previously suppressed travel demands, encourage the greater
use of sustainable modes and enable groups such as children and
the elderly to have more equal access to amenities.
An approach which targets road danger at source
is likely to have a much broader impact and to address many policy
objectives simultaneously. It would also address sites where speeding
was perceived as a problem for local residents but there is no
casualty record because people avoid it.
Speed management strategies are a very useful
means for local authorities to examine their approach to speeding
problems and to develop a more consistent approach. The most effective
strategies would be those which involve the wider community, including
drivers, in its development and which disseminate the content
and rationale as widely as possible.
DTLRrecent policy developments
such as Safer Routes to School, 20 mph zones and Home Zones have
greatly increased the range of measures that local authorities
can take to address speeding problems. However, the continuing
emphasis on rates of return can still be an impediment as discussed
Police/Home Office/Courtsit is
important that there is consistency on the part of the various
agencies of the state in respect of speeding. Whilst there is
welcome emphasis on speed in the DTLR Road Safety Strategy, the
watering down of the approach to speed cameras, together with
the low profile given to traffic policing in recent policy statements,
send mixed signals. Similarly, the lenient attitude in the courts
towards speeding offences, even where these result in injury to
third parties, serves to undermine the road safety strategy.
Motor Manufacturerswhilst there
has been a move in recent years to increase the crashworthiness
of vehicles through in-car safety aids, this has proved to be
a mixed blessing as it protects drivers against some of the consequences
of their own folly. These innovations do nothing to decrease the
risk to vulnerable road users and may even encourage drivers to
drive faster (as in "it's OK, I've got ABS"), therefore
increasing the risk to those outside the vehicle.
Variable speed limits and perhaps black box
technology to establish driver behaviour in the lead up to a crash,
would help ameliorate the negative effects of in-car safety measures.
Above all, if we are serious about speed, why
are manufacturers allowed to produce vehicles with top speed and
acceleration performances far above the level needed to carry
out their function?
National Press/TVThe recent largely
negative response on the part of the press to speed cameras demonstrates
the danger of not challenging the consensus. The newspapers believe
themselves to be representing the common sense assumptions of
their readers. This relates to the point made earlier about the
need to address the widespread cultural consensus, which requires
the political will to persuade, and if necessary take on, the
motorist lobby.
AdvertisersWhilst references to
speed as an overt selling point for vehicles has declined in recent
years, it is often still there in a more subtle form. References
to speed are generally subsumed under references to performance.
In some cases, such as with Volvo fairly recently, clear references
to speed still emerge. The problem is not helped by the process
whereby complaints against adverts can only be acted upon once
the campaign is underway and the damage has already been done.

Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones just checked into a treatment facility center for her Bipolar disorder.
Zeta-Jones checked into the facility on Monday and is excepted to remain there for a 30 day program, TMZ.com has learned.
Back in 2011, the 43 year old actress checked into the same facility after suffering a mental break down and a battle with her disorder.
At the time her rep stated, "[Catherine] made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder."
Catherine was last seen, in public on April 22, when she walked the red carpet with husband and fellow actor Michael Douglas.
At this time the actress' stay at the facility is said to be for "maintenance". We'll keep you posted on her condition.

Since yesterday, it downloaded 53 MB of data, including 28 MB today. It's too much, because I have hardly used it for anything but standby. There obviously mail pops up on it, but I read them on my PC. I have not used Google Maps, Web browsing or other things. WiFi is off, but my battery is at 50% (this morning at 7:30 am, it was at 100% - now 4 hours later it's 50%). Last night the Milestone was warm on the backside, but not where the battery is placed, but closer to where the sender/radio is placed.

About Our Products
We start with high quality pork or beef, and then use only enough spices to add flavor. Then we use a process that has been handed down from generation to generation. We use natural casings. The secret to Otto's sausages are in the handcrafted artisan techniques, recipes, and of course the one of a kind smokehouse. The smokehouse was built in 1936 and has been smoking sausages ever since. It has well seasoned walls that give the smoked sausages and meats that one of a kind distinction that can only be Otto's. Our fresh sausage is just that FRESH. It is made almost every other day and is completely natural.
Our Fresh Sausages, Potato Sausage, Chicken Sausages, and Bockwurst have no preservatives of any kind. The smoked sausages contain a small amount of nitrates so that we can smoke them to perfection in our one of a kind smokehouse.
We only use natural hog, sheep, beef and collagen casings for our sausage.
All of our sausage is approximately 10-15% fat. We do not add fat to any of our fresh sausage. It is just the fat content on lean pork shoulder.
All of our sausage is made on site in the back sausage kitchen of Otto's by Jerry and his daughter, Christie. They are made as close to the original handcrafted process as possible. The recipes were all passed down from family member to family member.
The Frankfurters and the Old Fashion Wieners are stuffed using the same meat. The only difference is that the Frankfurters are stuffed into hog casings and Wieners into sheep casings. Using the sheep casing for the wieners gives it a delicious snap when you bite in.
Yes, we call it the Smoked Pork Link. It is a delicious sausage that has tons of smoky flavor and the right amount of spices.
No, we don't use any of these in our sausage. The only exception is Bockwurst which has pork, veal, milk, and eggs in it. All of our other sausages are lactose and gluten free.
Our recipes have been handed down from Grandpa Otto to his son Edwin, to his son Jerry, and now to his daughters.
Yes, they are in the freezer vacuum packed in 1 lb packages. These do not have any preservatives, MSG, gluten, sugar, fillers, or milk products of any kind.
Our spiciest sausages are the Cajun Andouille and Cajun Chicken. Both of these sausages are just hot enough to give great flavor, but not too hot that you have to run for the milk.
We make our own corned beef, pastrami, dry cured ham, and roast beef.
We grind our beef every day and sometimes two to three times a day. It has approximately 6-9% fat content.
We get our pork and beef from Carlton Farms. It is all natural and locally processed. Most of the meat from Carlton Farms is handcrafted.
Preparation and Storage
Fresh sausage can safely be stored in a refrigerator for three to five days. They are a raw product so handle like you would a raw piece of pork. Smoked sausage can be stored in a refrigerator for five to seven days. The temperature should be kept between 35 – 40º F. Both the fresh sausages and the smoked sausages can be frozen in the freezer paper for up to three months or vacuum packed and frozen for up to six months.
The fresh sausage needs to be brought to an internal temperature of 160º F. We recommend pan frying with olive oil over medium high heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them a few times. If your pan starts to burn, try adding a little water and steaming the sausages to finish. BBQing also works really well, but be sure not to mix the cooked sausages and fresh sausages until the fresh ones are cooked thoroughly. Our Chicken Sausage, Bockwurst, Potato Sausage, and all the smoked sausages including the Old Fashion Wieners and Smoked Pork Links are fully cooked. This allows you to easily warm them up on the grill. They usually take about five to seven minutes to warm up all the way through to an internal temperature of 140º F.

TG Live: first night
So Top Gear live kicked off last night at Earl's Court in London – the first show in a world tour with all the swagger of a stadium rock band, but more cars.
After a suitably dramatic pyrotechnic build up and a bit of cocking about backstage, Jeremy was first into the arena – sideways in the Top Gear-tuned BMW 3-series the boys used in the Britcar 24hr race a couple of series ago.
James made a typically leisurely entrance in his homemade Lexus police car followed by Hammond pulling half the set down with his stretched MG limo.
What followed was like the telly show on some mentalist big stage trip – lots of awesome cars precision choreographed using every inch of the arena for J-turns and powerslides. Like a day at the TG test track really, but in front of 6,000 people. And, amazingly, no crashes.
Stig's entrance was typically sideways in a red F430 – a moment only upstaged by Richard's terrifying tribute to Evel Knievel. Well, terrifying's one word for it. We'll try to track down some video for that over the next week or so and you'll see what we mean.
Then something amazing happened – a genuinely democratic moment with the Cool Wall. The audience voted using cards and Jeremy only vetoed, well, all of them. But at least he let the audience drive our reasonably priced car – every single one of them – using some complicated computer trickery and some coloured pieces of card. We'll leave you to ponder that.
Next up, dancers, drums, a parade of supercars and a donutting black cab (really) built us up to a finale that had us all worried in dress rehearsals – Stig doing battle with two motocross bikes and a flame-spitting dragon-robot thing that properly shocked the audience.
Anyway, the tour continues in the capital until November and the up to Birmingham before setting off literally around the world, so we'll hold fire on any more spoilers for now.
If you want tickets check out the Top Gear Live website, but be warned London's sold out already. If you can't make it, we'll be posting pics and backstage gossip here on Transmission – and hopefully a bit of video too.

Top scorer for Colombia with three goals. Operates behind the striker and if given time on the ball, could destroy the Uruguayan defence.

With Luis Suarez suspended, Cavani must lead the line and drag his side through without the help of their best player.

My name is Alex, I'm 21 years old and currently work in IT providing technical support to JP Morgan's internal customers.
Longer term I'm looking to steer my career in the direction of development. I'm in the process of learning SQL and my RDBMS is MySQL. I'm also learning about database design/modelling and hope to shortly learn a scripting language such as ASP or PHP (most likely the latter). I see that a lot of companies advertise for people who are 'LAMP' qualified so at some point I imagine that it would also be wise to learn Linux and Apache.
I hope over the coming days, months and years I can contribute to this forum in my own small way.
Best regards,

Kevin Costner Whitney Houston
February 17, 2012 by staff
Kevin Costner Whitney Houston, Houston is known best for her cover of Dolly Parton's ballad "I Will Always Love You," the lead single on the soundtrack of the 1992 film "The Bodyguard." The film marked Houston's big screen debut and saw her play a singer who falls in love with her bodyguard, a former Secret Service agent, played by Costner. The actor plans to say a few words at her funeral, a family source told People magazine. His spokesperson had no immediate comment.
Costner has not spoken publicly about Houston's death, which occurred on February 11 at a Beverly Hills hotel, and it is unclear if and how the two kept in touch in recent years. After the release of "The Bodyguard," Costner and Houston had bumped into one another at celebrity events, such as Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night XIV, which took place in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2008.
Houston is survived by her mother, Cissy, and her 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina. The girl's father and the singer's ex-husband, singer Bobby Brown, is also allowed to attend the funeral, despite recent reports that said he was told to stay away.
"Bobby Brown is invited," Houston's spokesperson told OnTheRedCarpet.com on Friday.
"Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin, the late singer's godmother, and Stevie Wonder are set to perform at the funeral.
Other stars expected to attend include Houston's cousin and singer Dionne Warwick, music mogul Clive Davis, who helped launch her career, R&B star Alicia Keys, gospel stars Kim Burrell and Donnie McClurkin, musical director Rickey Minor and Cece Winans, another gospel singer who is also the godmother of Houston's daughter. Gospel singer and pastor Marvin Winans is set to give the eulogy.

An explosive new book that puts the killing back into military history.
A historian at London's Birbeck College, Bourke (Dismembering the Male) writes that she "aims to put killing back into military history." To do so, she focuses on the two world wars and Vietnam, examining American, British and Australian combatants' writings. Soldiers' letters and diaries, she writes, "weave together domestic trivia with a narrative of murder," combining surprising pleasure with persistent guilt. Bourke finds that men at war often harbored contradictory notions of their behavior, claiming that they were "following orders" while still trying to accept personal responsibility for their actions. Bourke also examines theories of combat and killing held by psychologists, sociologists and literary writers. Some of the surprises she offers refute conventional belief. In a large-scale firefight, only 25% of men ordered to shoot will shoot; the other three-quarters are "essential for morale." Later chapters concern "fraternizing" and battlefield homoerotics, war crimes and massacres, doctors, chaplains, and women in combat. Admirers of Paul Fussell's books about both world wars will appreciate Bourke's methods. Against Fussell's stress on war's disagreeable burdens, she emphasizes its mixed motives and even pleasures: many soldiers liked their bayonet training, and many fighter pilots loved their work. A persuasive final chapter attacks the "brutalization thesis," the claim (advanced frequently after Vietnam) that combat obliterates a soldier's conscience. Bourke makes the disturbing and convincing argument that soldiers can kill, and even enjoy it, while retaining their senses of self and society, right and wrong. (Nov.) Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
