Premier League not part of match-fixing probe
Games played in the fifth tier or lower of English soccer are the focus of an investigation into match-fixing by a suspected international betting syndicate that has led to six people being arrested.
The Premier League said Thursday that it has not been contacted by police in relation to an undercover investigation by Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper, which reported that at least three of the men held this week are players. Another is reportedly a former Premier League player who is now an agent.
The Football League, which runs the three professional divisions below the Premier League, has already said it has not been involved in the investigation.
The fifth-tier Football Conference said it is ''aware'' of the alleged match-fixing case.
''The Football Conference takes all matters relating to the integrity of the game very seriously,'' it said in a statement, ''but it cannot make any comment on today's story as it would be inappropriate to do so.''
The Telegraph reported in Thursday's edition of its paper that the suspected match fixers are being held in a police station in the central England. The paper said one of the alleged fixers was arrested on Tuesday and is ''internationally known.''
The Telegraph's website published a covertly recorded video in which it says the fixer claimed matches could be fixed for 50,000 pounds ($81,380). He also claimed to have connections with Wilson Raj Perumal, the Singaporean who was sentenced to two years in prison in Finland in 2011 for bribing players in the Finnish football league.
Match-fixing, fuelled by unregulated betting markets in Asia, is widely viewed by football's authorities as one of the biggest scourges on the game.
Europol, the European Union police liaison agency, said in February that it reviewed 680 suspicious recent cases of match-fixing but the organization's chief of media and PR, Soren Pedersen, said Thursday he was unable to comment on whether this latest case was linked to that investigation.
''Unfortunately, this is not a problem that has disappeared,'' Pedersen told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. ''There's definitely enough for police still to do to look into this crime phenomenon.''
The last major match-rigging convictions in English football were in the 1960s. Peter Swan, David 'Bronco' Layne and Tony Kay, who were all in or on the fringe of the England team, were jailed for four months and banned for life for corruption.
In 1994, three then-Premier League players - goalkeepers Bruce Grobbelaar and Hans Segers and striker John Fashanu - were alleged by a newspaper to have fixed matches. The trio was acquitted following two trials after juries were unable to reach a verdict.
And in 1999, four men linked to a Malaysian-based betting syndicate were jailed for three years for plotting to sabotage floodlights ahead of Charlton's match against Liverpool that year as part of a match-fixing plot.
''It's no surprise to see that it has hit the U.K.,'' Pedersen said of the latest global wave of match-fixing cases.
''It's not only south-east Asia that has problems, but Greece, Albania, Turkey and Italy of course. It's in central and northern Europe. Even a country like Finland, which is not normally linked to bribery or corruption, have had several cases. Also in Hungary, there are things going on. It's practically all over Europe.''
One of the biggest recent alleged fixing plots was unearthed in Australia where four English players were charged in September in a criminal investigation. Before heading to Australia to play for the Melbourne club Southern Stars, the men played in England's lower leagues.

Another Freddie special
Over the last two matches, England have managed to dig deep and win most of the key moments, and they did it again on the second day at Trent Bridge after being reduced to 241 for 5, as Andrew Flintoff and Geraint Jones put on a 177-run stand for the sixth wicket. Not only did they build a huge partnership, they also did it quickly, using up only 238 balls, that's a scoring rate of almost 4.5 per over. As expected, Flintoff played the dominant role, smashing 94 from 112 balls, while Jones played the second fiddle perfectly, scoring 69 from 126.
From the beginning of his innings Flintoff was assured with his footwork, as the graphic below indicates. He was hardly ever caught on the crease, and was authoritative off either foot. And on a slow pitch, he made the bowlers pay every time they pitched it short, scoring at more than a run a ball off those deliveries. Flintoff scored at a fair clip against all bowlers: Brett Lee went for 15 off 20, Michael Kasprowicz 29 off 36, Shaun Tait 20 off 18, Shane Warne 34 off 51, and Ponting 4 off 7. Flintoff's control of his innings, by a factor of 81%, further illustrates how comfortable he was against the Australian bowlers.
When England took the field, their bowlers showed exactly how to work with conditions not entirely favourable for the fast men. England's four fast bowlers bowled 27% potentially-wicket-taking deliveries; Australia's seamers had only managed 17%. And here's more evidence of how effective England's seamers were - in 189 balls, they rapped the batsmen on the pads 20 times, getting four favourable decisions from the umpires; Brett Lee, Michael Kasprowicz and Shaun Tait did that only 18 times in 553 balls.

Ambitious transit plan deserves dedicated funding to become reality
Transit Now Nashville's mission is to engage the Nashville community to promote a vibrant transit system. We are grateful the Nashville MTA and nMotion teams have set forth such an ambitious plan for the middle Tennessee region. While we would like to see certain aspects of the plan, such as dedicated right of way for transit extending to the surrounding counties, implemented on an accelerated time table, we understand the restraints around budget requirements and the need for a dedicated funding source to ensure these substantial improvements become a reality.
Our organization is especially excited about walkability improvements and a focus on transit oriented development around transit hubs. These are crucial aspects of a functional transit system. The proposal for a simple way to pay for fares will improve efficiency and reduce barriers for people unfamiliar with the current transit system. We also look forward to the implementation of crosstown connections and streamlined bus routes along major corridors.
While Nashville has undergone various planning studies over the past several years, Transit Now Nashville is hopeful the community will provide the needed motivation to hold city leaders accountable to take action in order to see aspects of this plan become reality. As citizens of this city, we remain committed to providing support wherever it is required to ensure current and future residents are able to enjoy a high quality of life with access to all the opportunities Nashville provides.

Analyzing bottlenecks for institutional development in Central Asia: Is it oil, aid, or geography?
The quality of institutions is considerable worse in Central Asia than in other transition countries. Based on a panel of 25 transition countries for the period from 1996 to 2005, this paper shows that oil and aid exert a negative influence on institutional development. At the same time, transition countries benefited from external incentives due to cultural proximity to the West or a membership perspective in either EU or NATO. However, the evaluation for Central Asia reveals that aid, oil, and geography explain part of the backlog but, even accounting for the fact that the countries are "far away" and do not benefit from external incentives as do other transition countries, there is a strong and homogenous negative regional component of bad governance. Hence, change might come but at a very low pace.

The fake Tahitian prince's auction2:19
Weekend Australian Magazine writer Trent Dalton looks at Joel Barlow's items on sale after he was imprisoned for stealing $16 million of public money.
FAKE Tahitian prince Joel Morehu-Barlow will seek permission from Australia's highest court to appeal the record 14-year jail term he received for fleecing taxpayers of almost $17 million.
The 38-year-old former Queensland Health employee has applied to the High Court of Australia for leave to appeal the jail term imposed after losing an appeal in the state's highest court last month.
The application does not guarantee Morehu-Barlow the right to appeal his jail term, but paves the way for him to ask the High Court to consider his reasons as to why he should be given the opportunity by way of a "special leave'' hearing.
The Courier-Mail in October revealed the former jet-setting socialite had requested Queensland's Court of Appeal reduce his sentence based on the fact the total loss to State government coffers as a result of his fraud was $5 million.
However, Court of Appeal judge Hugh Fraser rejected the argument, saying the short-term loss of nearly $16.7 million and total loss of $5 million must result in a significant penalty.
Supported by Justices Robert Gotterson and Duncan McMeekin in the decision, Justice Fraser said: "(Morehu-Barlow's) sentence was not manifestly excessive.''
"The sentencing judge did not make any errors contended for in (Morehu-Barlow's) ground of appeal.''
Hohepa Hikairo "Joel" Morehu-Barolow grabbed national and international headlines when he was arrested in December 2011 for one of the greatest frauds committed against the Queensland taxpayer by embezzling almost $17 million.
The former social dynamo and fake royal, who is currently not eligible for parole before December 2016, used the money he siphoned for QH coffers over a four-year period to fund an extravagant lifestyle.
A year ago the self-proclaimed Maori royal family member pleaded guilty to numerous charges, including defrauding QH of $16.690.067.59 between September 2007 and November 2011.
Brisbane District Court Judge Kerry O'Brien sentenced Morehu-Barlow to 14years' jail for the aggravated fraud, saying the particularly high head sentence was warranted as a result of the magnitude of the fraud.
During the so-called prince's sentencing hearing it was revealed he frittered away $6.16 million on a luxury waterfront New Farm unit, $600,000 in cash withdrawals, $1.13 million on travel and accommodations and $636,740 on Louis Vuitton products.
A date for the special leave hearing has yet to be set.

"I have been told that some diocesan Standing Committees have graciously offered to reconsider their denial of consent to my election as the XIV Bishop of South Carolina, if they only have assurance of my intention to remain in The Episcopal Church," he wrote. "Although I previously provided assurance of my intention, this has not been sufficient for some Standing Committees, which are earnestly seeking to make a godly discernment."
"As I stated at the walkabout in Charleston on September 9, 2006, and again in a statement written on 6 November 2006, I will make the vows of conformity as written in the Book of Common Prayer and the Constitution & Canons, (III.11.8). I will heartily make the vows conforming '…to the doctrine, discipline, and worship' of the Episcopal Church, as well as the trustworthiness of the Holy Scriptures. So to put it as clearly as I can, my intention is to remain in The Episcopal Church."
The complete text of the letter is here.
Meanwhile, the Standing Committee of South Carolina announced that a majority of the bishops with jurisdiction (diocesan bishops) have given their consents and that 46 of the needed 56 Standing Committees have done likewise.
The Standing Committee reported that some of its counterparts in other dioceses who voted against consent have since reconsidered and changed their votes. "We are encouraged that some Standing Committees have decided to meet and reconsider their vote, and are praying that others will consider similar action," the Standing Committee wrote in a statement posted on the diocese's website.
"We also stand ready to answer any and all questions posted to us in as direct and clear a manner as possible," the statement said.
The consenting dioceses, according to the Standing Committee are Western Massachusetts in Province I; Albany, American Churches in Europe, Haiti, New Jersey in Province II; Northwestern Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, and Pittsburgh in Province III; Alabama, Atlanta, Central Florida, Central Gulf Coast, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Southeast Florida, Southwest Florida, Tennessee, Upper South Carolina, West Tennessee in Province IV; Fond Du Lac, Northern Indiana, Quincy, Southern Ohio, Springfield, Missouri in Province V; Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota, North Dakota in Province VI; Dallas, Fort Worth, Oklahoma, Rio Grande, Texas, West Texas, Western Louisiana in Province VII; Alaska, Hawaii, San Diego, San Joaquin in Province VIII ; and Dominican Republic, Litoral (Ecuador), Puerto Rico in Province IX.
The letter from the Standing Committee also says that it is "grateful to Presiding Bishop [Katharine] Jefferts Schori and her fellow Primates for establishing the concept of the office of Primatial Vicar with its attendant oversight by the Primate's Pastoral Council and that of the Presiding Bishop."
"We see this proposal as a way forward to give us all space as our Communion pursues the development of the Anglican Covenant," concludes the letter signed by the Rev. J. Haden McCormick, president of the Standing Committee.
The latest letter is part of an effort on the diocese's part to secure the necessary consents to Lawrence's ordination. Earlier the Standing Committee sent a letter to other diocesan standing committees asking them to reconsider their decision to withhold their consents. A similar but not identical letter was also sent to Standing Committees that have not yet responded to the request for consent, according to a posting on the diocese's website."This is an official request to those who have withheld consent to reconsider their initial action," the letter on the diocesan website says. "We intend this letter to correct some of the misinformation surrounding our Bishop Elect."
Lawrence, 56, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Parish, in Bakersfield, California, in the Diocese of San Joaquin, was elected September 16, 2006.
The canons of the Episcopal Church (III.11.4(a)) require that a majority of the bishops exercising jurisdiction and diocesan standing committees respond within 120 days of receiving notice of his or her election, consenting to the bishop-elect's ordination. In this case, the requests were mailed November 9, making the 120-day period end on March 9. Consents will be accepted until March 12 to take into account the movement of mail.
Lawrence's scheduled February 24 consecration was postponed in January until after Easter because of the delay in sending out the consent requests.
Both South Carolina and San Joaquin are part of a group of seven dioceses, out of the church's 110 dioceses and one convocation of European congregations, which have requested a relationship with a primate of the Anglican Communion other than the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, citing 2003 and 2006 General Convention actions.
In the weeks following Lawrence's election, questions arose about Lawrence's intentions concerning the diocese's membership in the Episcopal Church. Two affiliated groups issued statements of advice to the bishops and standing committees, and other individuals expressed concern either privately to Lawrence and the diocese or through postings on Internet commentary sites.
This is the second time that Lawrence or the diocese has contacted standing committees about his election. In December, Lawrence sent a letter to standing committees and bishops in responses to several inquiries about his stance on certain issues.

Beginning four days of planned hearings over Judge Gorsuch's nomination, the proceedings on Monday — light on direct confrontation, heavy on senatorial windiness — set the contours of the debates to come: Democrats raised questions about Judge Gorsuch's record on issues like workers' rights and aired concerns about President Trump's often dim view of the judicial branch. Republicans sought to insulate a plainly well-credentialed jurist whom they hope to install as the court's next conservative stalwart. And Judge Gorsuch took pains to position himself above politics, on the eve of formal, rigorous questioning from senators on Tuesday.
Leaning often on biography in his speech, Judge Gorsuch cast himself as a humble Westerner, reared on fly-fishing, with malice toward none in his decade as a federal appellate court judge based in Denver.
"My decisions have never reflected a judgment about the people before me, only a judgment about the law and the facts at issue in each particular case," he said. "A good judge can promise no more than that. And a good judge should guarantee no less."
A judge who is pleased with every ruling he reaches, Judge Gorsuch added, "is probably a pretty bad judge, stretching for policy results he prefers rather than those the law compels."
Judge Gorsuch thanked Mr. Trump and did not mention the president's attacks on the judiciary since taking office, leveled against judges who have ruled against the administration in its push to enact a travel ban from certain predominantly Muslim countries.
He spoke generally of the hard and noble work of judges, perhaps signaling an indirect rebuttal to Mr. Trump's comments, which he called "disheartening" during private meetings with senators last month.
Judge Gorsuch did not mention Judge Garland on Monday. Democrats, still grappling with how…

Harsco Industrial Air-X-Changers (HAXC) is not sitting still, recently completing its new manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The company's roots date to 1952, the pioneering days of the gas compression air-cooler industry, when oil-patch engineer Murray Carr established Carr Engineering Co. Carr's rating process replaced the trial-and-error approach to cooler sizing and design that had been used up to that time. His company was incorporated as Air-X-Changers in 1954 and many more innovations followed. In 1958, the model EH was introduced. This compact, forced-draft vertical discharge air-cooler, that combined engine and compressor cooling in a single package, has become the most widely used cooler style in the gas compression industry.
In 1961, the company pioneered the high-efficiency WheelFin design that increased the heat transfer capability and reduced the required heat transfer area of the finned tubes used in air-coolers. In 1969, the patented model F cooler was introduced, featuring multiple engine-driven fans, each with its own plenum chamber, in a design that reduced installation costs and maximized performance.
Air-X-Changers became a unit of Harsco Corp. in 1976 and continued to progress and grow over the ensuing decades. The patented model FI cooler was introduced in 1982. In 1995, the company became one of the first air-cooler manufacturers to earn ISO-9001 designation. Eight years later, Harsco patented an ASME-certified formed header design. Rebranded as Harsco Industrial Air-X- Changers in 2010, the company received the A-1 Level Manufacture License of Special Equipment required for the shipment of its products into China, and it expanded joint venture operations into Australia.
In 2011, a new leadership team, led by Eric Clower, vice president and general manager, came onboard, bringing with them experience in aerospace, marine and other industries. This new team would be responsible for the major company wide transformation.
"Over the past six years, tremendous growth has resulted from capital investment in plant and leading edge technologies that ensure the company's continued preeminent position," Clower said. He said that one of the most far-reaching developments is HAXC's implementation of Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing to maximize customer value. In addition to implementing a continuous improvement program, developing a culture of safety, and rejuvenating product research and development, the company has completed significant expansions in product lines and facilities.
In 2014, HAXC acquired Hammco, an Owasso, Oklahoma-based manufacturer of air-coolers used in the midstream compression, natural gas processing, oil refining, LNG and petrochemical industries. "Historically, HAXC has been the leader in air-coolers for compressor applications,"Clower said. "With the purchase of Hammco, we immediately became a major player in the high-spec cooler markets as well. And with our manufacturing and process improvements, we can now build low-spec and high-spec air-coolers side-by-side in the same facility."
In April 2014, operating in five different manufacturing facilities scattered around the Tulsa area, HAXC announced the consolidation of operations into a single-campus, 557,300 sq.ft. (51,776 m2) facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This involved a combination of demolition and massive renovation of a former Ford glass plant to create a new, efficient air-cooler manufacturing facility.
"In addition to doubling our office space and increasing shop space by 62%, this move had the significant benefit of combining all of our operations under one roof with optimized and efficient material flow and processes," Clower said. By mid-2015, the company was already shipping units from the new facility, and move-in operations were completed by the end of 2015 with the inclusion of the Hammco operations. HAXC also collaborated with the cities of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Tulsa to construct a new road to deliver its coolers from the plant without impacting traffic.
A culture of continuous improvement is evident throughout the business and the new facility, from the office to the shipping department.
"We are very data-driven, using metrics and charts to understand trends and to identify problems and opportunities to improve the business," Clower said. SQDC (safety-quality-delivery-cost) boards are prominent in each department throughout the company. He said that each department is challenged to measure what is important, but not be a slave to the measurement process. The leadership team conducts regular Gemba walks through the facility, working together with area team members to address real problems and implement improvements.
The layout of the new facility has been well thought out. Material for cooler structures, headers and fin tubes is delivered at one end of the plant and flows through various machining, welding and forming processes to create finished components. Cooler structures and sections enter the final assembly area where they are assembled and painted before shipment from the other end of the plant.
The process begins with coolers being designed with six base 3-D CAD models using HAXC's proprietary "smart modeling" system that allows entering data only one time. This reduces the risk of mistakes and speeds the processing of orders. Drawings and data can be produced within hours for final engineering review prior to being released for production. Thermal rating is unique to each application. The system is flexible and adaptable to accommodate HAXC and customer specifications for structure options and finishes. The engineering team provides project management, design engineering, drafting and research and development support. Its software tools include DraftSight 2011 and SolidWorks 2013 CAD modeling along with ANSYS CFX/NLT, SolidWorks Simulation, STAAD Pro and HTRI Rating for thermal and structural analysis.
Cooler headers are fabricated in a 78,000 sq.ft. (7247 m2) code welding section of the facility with ASME-certified welders working in individual-screened booths in a high bay with cranes and ventilation systems. CNC and conventional drilling machines accommodate lengths up to 20 ft. (6 m) in length. Welding capabilities include plain carbon steel, 304 and 316 stainless, duplex, super duplex, Hastelloy, Inconel, Monel, 1.25% chrome alloys and other materials. Multiple single, dual and quad head subarc welders are used. On-site nondestructive testing (NDT) capabilities include liquid dye penetrant, wet and dry magnetic particle, ultrasonic and radiography (in two separate vaults).
Twelve operational finning machines, with tube length capabilities up to 64 ft. (19.5 m) specialize in tension-wound L-footed WheelFin on 0.625 to 2 in. (16 to 51 mm) diameter tubes. The company has several more finning machines in storage that can be quickly deployed if capacity expansion is needed. In-house capabilities include plain and embedded fin. Extruded and welded fin designs are also available. Tube materials include carbon steel and 304 and 316 stainless steels. Semi-automated and manual tube-to-tube sheet welding are employed in the construction of cooler sections up to 100 ft. (30.5 m) or longer. Extensive flushing capacity is available for turbine lube oil coolers and other applications that require extreme cleanliness. Clower said that the company's flushing technology and equipment gives them the largest lube oil flushing capacity worldwide.
The cooler structure fabrication department includes a full sheet metal fabrication shop with brake presses to 750 tons (680 tonnes); shears with capacity for plates up to 0.625 in. (16 mm) thick by 16 ft. (4.9 m) long; multiple iron worker stations up to 100 tons (907 tonnes); a pyramid plate roll; horizontal and vertical saws; two 20 ft. (6.1 m) CNC bed plasma cutters; 29 GMAW pulse arc welding stations; and two dedicated paint booths.
A 110,000 sq.ft. (10,220 m2) area is dedicated to finished cooler unit assembly. It has a 90 ton (82 tonne) maximum lift capacity with 34 ft. (10.4 m) clear height that can handle widths of up to 30 ft. (9.1 m). Finish painting is completed in two large downdraft paint booths. At the end of the assembly department are six loading docks with space for indoor trailer loading using overhead cranes.
HAXC's quality system certifications include ISO 9001 and ASME U and R. As of January, HAXC passed a milestone of 99,000 ASME-certified cooler sections shipped and will surpass 100,000 this spring. The company has had a Chinese manufacturing license since 2009 and it can manufacture products adherent to European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), GOST (Russia) and ATEX standards.
"HAXC serves compression markets from gas gathering through transmission, as well as midstream processing and other markets including refinery, LNG, petrochemical and power generation," said Randy Benson, vice president of sales and marketing. The HAXC air-cooler product line is made up of six different models. "Larger units with fan sizes of more than 72 in. (1829 mm) are HAXC's prevalent business, but we also make a high volume of smaller coolers. The 144 to 168 in. (3658 to 4267 mm) model EH is our bread and butter line."
The forced-draft model EH, the most widely used type, is a compact, unitized engine-driven cooler that combines engine and compressor cooling in a single unit. It can also be electric motor-driven. The sloped section arrangement with vertical discharge provides greater cooling capacity within a given footprint, which reduces packaging costs. Fan diameters from 24 to 168 in. (610 to 4267 mm) typically match cooling requirements for compressors from 100 to 2000 hp Model Z and Hammco are bolt-together horizontal coolers designed for high-power applications. Available in single or multifan configurations to span a wide range of power requirements, they are typically electric motor-driven, but can accommodate other drives including hydraulic motors and variable speed drives. Forced or induced draft fan diameters from 48 to 204 in. (1219 to 5182 mm) cover compression applications typically from 500 to 10,000 hp (373 to 7457 kW). These coolers can also be built to API 661 specifications for refinery, LNG and petrochemical industry applications. The largest HAXC air-cooler shipped in company history was a 75 ft. x 25.9 ft. x 14 ft. (22.9 m x 7.9 m x 4.3 m) model 204-3Z for offshore natural gas compression in 2013.
Model H is a skid-mounted, horizontal cooler used in a variety of applications, designed for electric motor or hydraulic drives. Available in forced or induced draft fan diameters from 24 to 144 in. (610 to 3658 mm) in single or multifan configurations, this model accommodates compression applications typically from 100 to 2000 hp (75 to 1491 kW). They are also applied to turbine oil cooling applications.
Model F is a horizontal coil, multiple vertical fan cooler. With its patented forced draft vertical air discharge design, it is designed for high power, engine-driven applications. Available in single or multifan configurations, with fan diameters from 48 to 156 in. (1219 to 3962 mm), it typically covers compression applications from 250 to 4500 hp (186 to 3356 kW).
Model VI is a vertical discharge, induced draft cooler that combines engine and compressor cooling in a single unit. Adaptable for both engine-drive and electric motor drive, with fan diameters from 36 to 168 in. (914 to 4267mm), it accommodates compression applications from 100 to 600 hp (75 to 447 kW).
Model VV is designed to be a cost-effective solution for low power gas, water and lube oil cooling. It can be either engine- or motor-driven. With forced or induced draft fan diameters from 18 to 60 in. (457 to 1524 mm), this horizontal airflow model accommodates compression applications typically from 60 to 250 hp (45 to 186 kW).
The most recent example of HAXC's product innovation is a patent-pending design that mounts the engine exhaust silencer inside the air-cooler structure. The vast majority of compressor packages have the engine exhaust silencer mounted on top of the cooler, which typically requires a walkway or permanent work platform on top of the cooler for inspection and emissions testing. These items interfere with airflow and typically require disassembly for shipping, followed by reassembly in the field. The new HAXC design eliminates this need and includes a retractable work platform. It also enables factory mounting of the engine cooling system surge tank on the cooler frame.

Britain's recent heatwave has sparked the summer's first smog warning.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs believe that hot and sunny weather across England and Scotland will most likely to lead to the first smog episode of 2009.
The team have predicted that ozone levels from over the last week were set to move from moderate to high in rural parts of eastern and south-eastern Britain as well as along the south coast.
A Defra spokesman said: "Some people are more sensitive to ozone than others and may begin to notice an effect on their breathing.
"People with asthma are not necessarily more sensitive but, if affected, can use their 'reliever' inhaler."
The spokesman said Defra is urging the public to take sensible precautions: "Avoiding exercise outdoors in the afternoon can reduce exposure to ozone and avoiding making unnecessary short car journeys wherever possible can reduce the formation of ozone."
The genesis of ground level ozone is when sunlight acts on nitrogen dioxide and other atmospheric substances close to the ground. The pollutants that cause this originate from a range of sources, including petrol and other fuels.
The Met Office is forecasting a barbecue summer and world leaders have even suggested that painting the roofs of houses white would help the environment greatly.
Health advice
The following government advice on health applies when air pollution is high or very high: "During episodes of air pollution experienced during the summer in the United Kingdom, levels of ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particles may be raised. Most people will experience no ill effects.
"Those suffering from lung diseases (including asthma) particularly if elderly should be aware that their symptoms might worsen. They may need to consider modifying their treatment as they usually do when symptoms increase, consulting their doctor if this is not effective.
Luxury in... Burford
Europe's most idyllic places to live in.
"Children with asthma should be able to take part in games in the usual way, although they may need to increase their use of reliever medicines before participating. There is no need for them to stay away from school.
"Those suffering from a heart condition and who notice a change in their symptoms should get medical advice as they normally would."

It is Tokyo in 1939. On the Street of a Thousand Blossoms, two orphaned brothers are growing up with their loving grandparents, who inspire them to dream of a future firmly rooted in tradition. The older boy, Hiroshi, shows unusual skill at the national obsession with sumo wrestling, while Kenji is fascinated by the art of creating hard-carved masks for actors in the Noh theater.Across town, a renowned sumo master, Sho Tanaka, lives with his wife and their two young daughters: the delicate, daydreaming Aki and her independent sister, Haru. Life seems full of promise as Kenji begins an informal apprenticeship with the most famous mask-maker in Japan and Hiroshi receives a coveted invitation to train with Tanaka. But then Pearl Harbor changes everything. As the ripples of war spread to both families' quiet neighborhoods, all of the generations must put their dreams on hold - and then find their way in a new Japan.
In an exquisitely moving story that spans almost 30 years, Gail Tsukiyama draws us irresistibly into the world of the brothers and the women who love them. It is a world of tradition and change, of heartbreaking loss and surprising hope, and of the impact of events beyond their control on ordinary, decent men and women. Above all, The Street of a Thousand Blossoms is a masterpiece about love and family from a glorious storyteller at the height of her powers.
"Gail Tsukiyama is a writer of astonishing grace, delicacy, and feeling. Her lyric precision serves not only to leave the reader breathless but to illuminate human suffering and redemption with clarity and power." (Michael Chabon)
"Well written and emotionally gripping." (Library Journal)

However the comments associated to the old URLs are now obviously not shown on the new URLs as the links are generated automatically using the new scheme.
As our site is very new, we don't have many comments yet. Obviously we would hate to lose those few comments we already have and would rather migrate their association to the new URL scheme. I haven't found such option on the Comment Moderation Tool and the comments documentation doesn't elaborate on this either. Is that possible at all?

Hello, my name is Emily Rund and I am a double major at Virginia Commonwealth University's School of the Arts in Richmond Virginia. I am currently a senior in the Photography and Film department with a concentration in film, as well as in the Kinetic Imaging department. I grew up in Carroll County Maryland.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at age four. Through trial and error I attempted most of the drugs on the market and eventually found a combination that has helped me live my life with minor gut issues. I have learned to look at the positives in my situation, the most important being my amazing support system. When I was nine years old I attended Camp Oasis as a camper and have gone every year since, now attending as a counselor. I have met my very best friends there and found my home away from home where I am comfortable to be myself with others just like me.
Through my involvement with Camp Oasis I have seen my close friends and campers living with IBD as best as they can. There are good days and bad days, but many of us have gone through more than any one person should endure. I am passionate about raising awareness for IBD, which I personally have worked on through making art but can now pursue further and more in depth as a council member. I am very excited to help find a cure!

Well we are a few weeks into Q4 and we all know that means that the holidays are upon us. This means big business and big marketing budgets for e-commerce sites as they ramp up to Thanksgiving night, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. However if you are a small, local or regional retailer, this does not mean you shouldn't be thinking about your holiday strategy. You have many AdWords tools at your disposal to generate holiday activity to your site and your business.
Certainly one of the first things you will want to consider is what your company's marketing appetite is for holiday season. If you take a small example of a local holiday retailer, your budget may be set at $20 per day. As search volume is going to explode in late November, you may want to consider increasing your budget. If you are in retail and it is critical to you, make sure you are not out of budget at 11:00 AM on Black Friday when shoppers are out and about on their phones! Think about giving yourself a daily budget boost for those critical days. (And create a reminder to drop it back down once the rush stops.)
Your Website and Landing Pages
I recognize that not every small retailer has the access or ability to edit your site. However if you do – be sure to create some holiday specific landing pages. Perhaps this simply entails changing the theme of the site. Or maybe it is building offer specific pages to get users into your store. Lasty, don't forget about the mobile presence of your site. Make sure these items are in order well before late November.
Ad Copy
First and foremost – create new ads to display in late November. It is really important to build holiday verbiage into your ads to compete. Depending on your keywords and your products, this is the best time to speak to the holiday shopper. Use your holiday sales, discounts and promotions in ad copy. Make the consumer aware you are pushing your services or products at special rates and discounts or exclusive offers around the holiday time. Additionally, if you are looking to generate more foot traffic, perhaps create an in-store only offer and build it into your ad copy.
Callout Extended Hours & Attributes
If you are competing against national firms, use local to your advantage. Use callout extensions to make your local presence stand out. Talk about "Serving South Bend." Take this a step further if you have a convenient location during holiday traffic and emphasize it — "Convenient Parking" or "Located Near Hwy 47." In addition to this, make sure your hours are featured within your callout extensions. Finally, use callouts if you have a convenient location (Located By Highway 47) or another tidbit about your hours like, "Open Friday from noon to 11!" or "Special Holiday hours!"
Use your actual physical location in the location extensions to ensure that your physical business presence sticks out among the sea of search results.
Your initial goal may be to get users to your website, and then to your physical business. Having searchers see your physical address in the SERP against other non-local listings flooding in for the holidays will help you get the click. Shoppers will want to buy local so make sure they know you are indeed local!
Google recently released a statistic stating that 90% of online buyers do their research cross device before buying. This means that they may be searching on their phone for you, then at home on their iPad and then at work on their laptop before making a purchase decision. Playing into this, make sure your ads are coming up in the mobile environment and consider boosting your bid within this this device type.
Hopefully this gives you a few reminders and tips if you are a smaller local retailer trying to a piece of the online holiday traffic surge.

Unanswered: Passing multiple records as parameters in Procedure
Hi All,
First of all I am very new to the Sybase arena. During our development of Stored procedures I came across the issue mentioned below.
For one of our requirement , we need to pass set of records from one procedure to another.
As of now I have though of the following options..
i.Create a Temporary table in the Sybase Temp database and put the data from SourceDB into it, Later the TargetDB procedure will fetch the records from this table to do further processing.
ii. Create some object types and store the data into it in the SourceDB. Create same object type in the TargetDB and get the data from the Objects.
iii.Create a String variable from SourceDB and pass the records in such a fashion (like, for Column separator and | for Row Separator), which will be taken care by the TargetDB by converting it into a session specific #temp-table.
I am preferring option ii, but not getting any proper guidance on how to achieve that.
What is the best possible solution for the same? Any help is much appreciated.

Bonds of Need by Lynda Aicher (99 cents)
After ending her passionless marriage, Cali Reynolds is eager to live out her forbidden fantasies. Her first step is attending new members' night at The Den, the most exclusive sex club in town. Perhaps here she can find a man who understands her desire to be dominated…
At first, Jake McCallister thinks Cali has come to his club for the wrong reasons. But when he discovers she is seeking fulfillment after years of denial, he's intrigued—and takes it upon himself to initiate her into the pleasures she's been missing.
Her first encounter with Jake is everything Cali has always craved, and more; she's not prepared for the feelings he inspires in her. And Jake is just as surprised by his overwhelming attraction to Cali. As their play intensifies, so does their bond. Now, Jake doesn't want anyone but Cali—but is he ready to officially claim her? And will she submit to being his forever?
The Pride of Lions by Marsha Canham (99 cents)
Bestselling, award-winning author Marsha Canham sweeps us into the turbulence and romance of Scotland's quest for freedom in a saga of two born enemies whose lives and destinies are irrevocably bound to the fate of an empire.
Forced into an unwanted marriage by a reckless game of chance, how was the spoiled and pampered Catherine Augustine Ashbrooke to know the handsome stranger with the brooding midnight eyes would make her the pawn in a dangerous game of his own?
Alexander Cameron may have won the highborn English beauty in a duel, but not even the lure of long-forgotten desires could keep him from his meeting with destiny. He had no choice but to carry his reluctant bride off to the Highlands, to a world of ancient blood feuds and a brewing rebellion — a world where fiery passion and breathtaking courage would prove that even legendary warriors could lose their hearts.
Somewhere in Time by Barbara Bretton (free)
Historian Emilie Crosse dreamed of a love that would last forever. Who knew she'd have to sail across two centuries to find it?
When her ex-husband Zane Grey Rutledge showed up at her door with a Revolutionary War uniform that was part of his grandmother's estate, neither one suspected that their lives were about to change in ways they couldn't possibly imagine.
Swept back in time to 1776 where a nation is struggling to be born, Emilie finds herself torn between two men: Zane, her ex who still holds the key to her heart, and Andrew McVie, the Patriot hero of her long-ago dreams…
Behind Closed Doors by Shannon McKenna ($1.99)
Surveillance expert Seth Mackey knows everything about the women his millionaire boss Victor Lazar toys with — and tosses aside. But Lazar's latest plaything, Raine Cameron, is different. Beautiful. Vulnerable. And innocent. Just looking at her triggers a white-hot passion Seth can barely control as night after night, he watches her on a dozen different video screens. Raine is pure temptation, but Seth can't slip up: he's convinced Lazar had his half-brother murdered. His secret investigation — and his life — are on the line. But then he finds out that Raine may be Lazar's next victim…
Raine knows she's being watched — but no one can see the secrets in her heart. She has reasons of her own to seek revenge on Victor Lazar, and she will, despite her fear — and the distracting presence of Seth Mackey. His fiercely masculine good looks and animal sensuality stir her most erotic fantasies when she's alone…and lead her to a bold plan. Offering her body to him, surrendering totally to his ruthless desire, might well push her beyond all emotional limits — and beyond fear itself.
Secrets on the Sand by Roxanne St. Claire (free)
The launch of a brand new trilogy from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Roxanne St. Claire set on the sun-washed beaches of Barefoot Bay!
Zeke Nicholas has turned his mathematical genius skills into a mountain of money. But Zeke sits on that mountain all alone, longing for the one thing money cannot buy: a lifelong partner and true love. Enter Mandy Mitchell… the maid at his thousand-dollar-a-night resort.
The minute they meet, Mandy knows he's exactly the kind of trouble she should avoid… but Zeke does have one thing Mandy needs to gain the independence she craves. Will he give it to her? One look at Mandy, and Zeke turns his relentless ability to get what he wants into a full-on seduction and he's ready to give her anything. But can Mandy face down the secrets of her past to find a fairy-tale future with Zeke?
Present Perfect by Alison G. Bailey (99 cents)
"I've been unsure about many things in my life except for one thing, that I have always loved him. Every single minute of every single day that I have been on this earth, my heart has belonged to him. It has never been a question, never a doubt. The love had taken on many different forms over the years, but it had always been a constant.
Everyone has their definition of love. There have been countless songs sung about it. A gazillion books, articles, and poems written about it. There are experts on love who will tell you how to get it, keep it, and get over it.
We're led to believe love is complicated. It's not the love that's complicated. It's all the crap that we attach to it and put in front of it that makes it difficult. If you're smart, you'll realize this before it's too late and simplify."

We taught our children never to post photos or any personal info and we usually sit with them since they are small firstname.lastname@example.com

I taught them how to surf the web safely by sitting with them and showing them what to do and what not to do. They must ask me before they sign up for anything as well.

We put child protectors on the computer and tablets. My oldest is the only one old enough to use them and he knows if it's bad language or anything else to shut it down and tell me.

We let our use the internet ONLY when once of us had time to sit with them to "help" LOL! No one was allowed to put any personal info about themselves or of anyone they knew. Today the kids are grown and are now teaching their children the same. I keep my grand daughter every day and will teach her the same.

My kids are young enough that they only get online with me. But I tell them things while we are surfing and finding games and worksheets for school. Later on when they start using the computer themselves, I will definitely block certain sites, and clear out history.

Girlschool (4: 40)
D. Davidson
A school bell rings off the day,
brings in a stray a few girls at play.
Cut school pink slips are fine
for a good time there's boys on their mind.
A bad girl smoking in school,
breaking the rules acting real cool.
Talkin' 'bout all the rock boys,
back seat joys with some boy's toy.
At the girlschool, cause my baby broke all the rules.
Saddle shoes uniforms blue,
love all the girls in the girlschool.
Traffic jam in the hallway
ooh I'm gonna stay this makes my day.
Well here they come girls from the school,
breakin the rules hot on the loose.
My girl left right from school,
came over to my house, ooh...
chorus out.

I've been smoking cigs since i was in 8th grade and after reading one of the member's stories, i feel like i belong somewhere. I've quitted for about 3 days so far and i feel so much more full of energy. I feel for once "clean" in my life. I just wanted to say thank you everyone for your stories. It has changed my life.
