ALL the talk has been about the Ashes, but captain Michael Clarke insists the focus is "wholly and solely'' on the Champions Trophy, which begins for Australia on June 8.
Both the Ashes and Champions Trophy squads left for the UK last night and Clarke is looking forward to finally putting all the talk behind him.
"I'm looking forward to certainly getting stuck into some cricket,'' said Clarke at Sydney International Airport.
"It's been a good break for guys to train, get fit, get some batting and bowling under their belts, but I think everyone, the players, media, the public, are well and truly looking forward to seeing some cricket.''
Australia have won the last two Champions Trophy tournaments and, with this being the final edition of the tournament, are motivated to win it one last time.
Achieving that would provide the perfect preparation for the Ashes, which begins on July 10.
"Our record is outstanding in the Champions Trophy, we've won the last couple,'' Clarke said. "Obviously this is the last time we'll play a Champions Trophy tournament so the motivation is going to be there.
"If we can have success in this one-day tournament and drag that confidence and momentum into the first Test I think that will be very handy.
"We know we've got a lot of work to do to have success in both sections of this tour, in regards to the Champions Trophy and then the Ashes. We've got to play some amazing cricket, but I know all the players are up for the challenge.''
As much as Clarke would like his players not be distracted by Ashes talk he knows that's unlikely to happen.
"You can run and hide as much as you want, but it's going to be there,'' he said. "The public are interested and it's the pinnacle as an Australian cricketer to play, not only Test cricket, but play in the Ashes.''
It's a massive 12 months for the Australian team and for Clarke in particular. With back-to-back Ashes and a tour of South Africa early next year, Clarke knows there's no better time to find consistency.
"The more people doubt you, as an individual player but for me more importantly as a team, that inspires you to greatness,'' Clarke said.
"For me it's a huge opportunity, but I think my career has been bigger than 12 months. Don't get me wrong, it's an exciting time for me as a player, being 32 and having payed for so long.
"I'm really looking forward to the next 12 months and being lucky enough to captain Australia through this journey is a privilege and an honor.''

XPO Logistics will nearly triple its drayage capacity through the $100 million acquisition of Bridge Terminal Transport.
The acquisition of BTT will bring the fast-growing third-party logistics operator's drayage fleet to more than 2,000 independent owner-operators, the company said in a first-quarter earnings release, in which XPO reported a $14.7 million loss. Intermodal volume growth, a major plank in XPO Logistics' portfolio, isthreatened by a lack of drayage truck capacity, speakers at the NASSTRAC Shippers Conference warned last month.
BTT, one of the largest asset-light drayage providers in the U.S., has 28 terminals and some 1,300 independent owner-operators.
"It's a company that's been in business for 33 years," CEO Bradley Jacobs told JOC.com Tuesday. "It's extremely well run and they've built up a lot of customer loyalty in those 33 years."
According to Jacobs, each of BTT's top 10 customers have been doing business with the company for an average of 19 years.
The acquisition was key, Jacobs said, to one of XPO's central goals: "building up our intermodal franchise to many times our present size."
XPO Logistics said the deal will significantly expand its drayage presence on the East Coast, where growth in domestic intermodal volume is expected to be the most robust.
"One of the ways that we grow the business is we go to our rail partners and show them how effective we can be on the street and how well we can manage the drayage portion of the intermodal move," Jacobs said.
At XPO, he said, drayage is considered part and parcel of the company's intermodal network.
"Drayage is in the category of intermodal for us," Jacobs said. "Getting more drayage capacity, becoming more efficient on the drayage portion, helps our relationships with the rails. It also helps our relationships with our customers, because it allows us to take freight that we normally would not."
The acquisition comes just a week after XPO announced it would buy Norbert Dentressangle, one of Europe's largest third-party logistics and transportation companies, for $3.5 billion. Since it was launched in 2002 by Jacobs, XPO Logistics has acquired more than a dozen companies, ranging from freight brokerage and forwarding firms to intermodal rail, contract logistics, expedited transport and last-mile logistics businesses.
In a statement, Jacobs said a weak spot market for freight brokerage and intermodal service disruptions caused by West Coast port congestion offset growth in XPO Logistics' last mile and expedited divisions. The company's first-quarter net revenue soared 349 percent year-over-year, to $262 million.

Lewis Hamilton - self-confidence or arrogance?Posted by Craig under Formula 1 and Hamilton with the tags America • ITV • Media • Schumacher
Having been an avid follower of Formula One as I grew up, I've seen my fair share of drivers come and go. The one which stuck around the longest, and has been the sport's highest performing driver to date is of course Michael Schumacher.
As he was around for so long, and won so much there are several negative points which blighted his career - he was often portrayed as having a "win at all costs" mentality, and there were several incidents throughout his career to back this up.
The other charge levied against him was that he was arrogant. There is no doubting that he was a supremely talented driver and at times he let people know that he knew himself just how good he was. Whether this was arrogance or him simply stating a fact is of some debate, but to me it didn't affect my enjoyment of watching him race - he was the best driver at the time and therefore if he won I normally felt he had deserved it. If he won due to another car's unreliability or other factor such as that then I would normally wonder how he managed to always be on the receiving end of such good luck.
Like almost every other driver, Michael Schumacher was loathe to say he had done anything wrong and while he was far from humble I rarely thought of him as arrogant despite how the media portrayed him. His biggest crime was in simply dealing with the facts and saying what he thought.
The reason this came to my mind is that on Sunday watching the pre-race Lewis Hamilton show in ITV, they showed an interview with Lewis where I think his attitude would have been construed as being arrogant had he been of any other nationality.
I don't necessarily think he was being arrogant, but I would put his remarks on a par with something Michael Schumacher would have said in reply to the same questions - so if one is to be regarded as arrogant, then I think it has to apply to both.
Asked by ITV's Ted Kravitz why he went so close to the wall at Indy when the other drivers played it a little safer by staying away, Lewis answered by asking why he would want to be the same as the other drivers - a bit of a throwaway statement but can you imagine Schumacher saying something like that? Of course you can, and he would have been picked up on it.
So far, the overall conclusion is that Hamilton is confident but not arrogant - and as long as he keeps winning and driving well, then this perception won't change (at least in the British media) though it is something I think he has to be wary of.

text: IC: Alana Glencross Bakura Gardens, Salis D'aar, Bakura The Rebel midfielder was moving up the field with the ball in his hands and she could tell that he was looking to pass. Her sixth sense, Limmie sense, told her it was going to happen. She knew it for a certainty like she knew that she had red hair. And she was going to be damned if she didn't stop him. Alana launched herself in front of the punt that would send the ball sailing down field and to his front six. And, as it had four times previously in the game, Alana didn't. The player held up and Alana thumped into the turf in front of him, sliding across the slick pitch, wet from the light rain that had been coming down all game long. As Alana skidded away, the Rebel calmly and precisely kicked the ball downfield where one of his corner forwards snagged it. Disgusted, Alana picked herself up and got back in the play. To say this hadn't been her day had been an understatement. One would have thought that with the high score that the Miners' captain would have had some part in it. The truth was that Alana had been held scoreless. She'd missed five place kicks today for points over the bar and had been completely unable to penetrate down low today. The Rebels had her number offensively. The only reason that Bakura was up 32-30 right now in the waning minutes was because Aron Rodders was absolutely owning at the Full Forward position. Last season hadn't been an anomaly--it had been the beginning of something beautiful. Rodders was two goals and three points into an absolute tear. Stormborn was benefiting from this as when Rodders got double teamed she was open and was scorching the Rebel keeper for three goals. Corrie was on fire too with a pair of goals and a point herself. It was an absolute offensive rout. Of course, the Rebels had done their homework and the rookie defenders for the Miners were getting absolutely hammered. Wizmark and Waters, the "Wonderful Ws" the media had dubbed them during training camp, had been targeted all day long and had surrendered big plays to the more experienced Rebel attackers. Despite the fact that there were more experienced options on the bench, Valerii had kept her rooks in the game. Indeed, Valerii had spent most of the game sitting and observing in her sharply cut pant suit. Occasionally she stood and paced with the action, rarely saying anything but watching with the gaze of a cliff hawk. Every time Alana looked over it felt like her former position coach had pulled her out of the crowd and was boring into her. Maybe it was just coincidence, but Alana got the impression that Valerii was less than pleased with her output today. Alana wouldn't blame her. She'd played terrible. Shut out offensively, utterly outplayed on the defensive side of the ball, Alana was turning in one of her worst games to date. And yet she'd had a good solid camp, no complaints out of the coaching staff. She'd felt good about what she'd done there, but she was royally screwing up at everything she did today. And once again Waters got beat for a point over the bar. 31-32 Miners. Delphy kicked the ball out of the defensive zone. Under a minute left--all they had to do was play keep away from the Rebels. The ball was arcing to midfield and Alana stepped up to catch it and send it deep--but a Rebel jumped in front of her from the right and caught the ball for an interception. Alana tackled him, but not before the ball was already passed off to one of his comrades. It was easy work for a point over the bar and then they were tied with time expired. The referees gathered at midfield. A tie in a friendly game? What to do, what to do. Alana went over in her capacity as captain. "You guys want to keep going?" one of the refs asked Alana and her Corellian counterpart. "I'm game," the Rebel captain said, "You?" "Damn straight," Alana said. "All right, we'll kick off in a few minutes here," the referee confirmed. As the ref communicated all this to the delight of the fans, Alana jogged back to the Miner sideline where Valerii had gathered the entire team, reserves and starters. "What's the word?" Valerii asked Alana. "They asked if we wanted to call it. I said no," Alana reported, "So did they." "Good girl," Valerii said, "We're not going to accept a tie. We're gonna win this game. I need everything from you guys. This is where it counts, where you find out what you've really got inside of you. And I mean everybody." Valerii looked at Wizmark. "I know this game has been hard for you, but you can't give up now. This isn't the Bak10 anymore. This is the show. You listening to me, Wiz?" "Yeah Coach yeah," Nelly said with a nod of her head, which sent drops of sweat flying. "You guys know what to do," Valerii said, clapping her hands to break up the meeting, "Let's go guys." The overtime period was more of the same--fast and furious. The rookies were being picked apart. The Miner front three kept showing up the Rebel defense. And Alana was outplayed and outclassed--so much so that after one missed tackle she pounded her fist into the turf in frustration. And even more to the point, they were tied--again--after the overtime. The refs called the captains together again. "Okay...what do you guys want to do now?" "We didn't just do all that to give up now," Alana said, "I'll go as long as it takes." "Agreed, but at least I'm better than a pylon out there, Red," the Rebel captain said. "Shut the fr--" The ref stepped in between Alana and the Rebel. "Let's keep our heads here. You--" to the Rebel captain, "--get back over there. And you--" to Alana, "--watch it. I'll toss you for unsportsmanlike conduct." Alana just glowered at the ref but moved off silently, chastened. Back at the Miner sideline, the team was gathered again, but things had deteriorated since the last break. "I can't do it! I can't do it! I can't stop them!" Wizmark babbled. "Nelly! Nelly! Listen to me!" Valerii was saying. She'd taken the rookie's face in her hands to try and calm her down. It wasn't doing anything so Valerii shook Wizmark, which seemed to have some effect. "I just need 15 more minutes out of you. Hold them for 15 minutes and we're going to win this. You have got to pull yourself together. Nelly. Are you listening?" Valerii snapped her fingers in front of Wizmark's eyes to bring her back around. "Yeah, yeah," Nelly said. "You're playing in double overtime in your first game as a Miner. Do you know how many other beings in this galaxy can say that?" Valerii said, "One and she's standing next to you." The being in question was Abbey Waters. "Fifteen minutes, I swear. Fifteen minutes more. Got it?" Wizmark nodded, but there was still a look in her eyes. Valerii looked at Adanna Inviere and in a moment it seemed that they shared some telepathic conversation. Inviere immediately took over for Valerii in handling the shell shocked rookie, who turned to her offense. "Guys, you've been lights out all night, but you need to finish this right now. We can't go another overtime," Gaeriel said, "You've got to keep it up. I know we're going into uncharted territory here but you've got to close the deal." "We've got it," Aron said. His front six teammates were nodding. They were solid. "Red," Valerii said, turning her eyes to her captain, "This has been a bad night for you, but I need more. I need you to get out of this funk. We need you now. You're the difference here." "I know. I got it," Alana said. Valerii patted Glencross on the shoulder. "Let's do this guys." The Rebels pushed the envelope in the second overtime and jumped out to an early lead in the overtime. And once again Alana seemed ineffectual to stop their charge. With every play she grew more determined to make an impact and every time it seemed that she only did worse. Her frustration mounted with every failed attempt to stop the Rebels. It was just after one such miss that the boloball went to the Rebel half forward line where they'd been able to exploit the Miners all day long--especially on Wizmark's side. Just a point over the bar would likely put the game out of range for the Miners now. The Rebel attacker cleanly fielded the ball and made a side step to the middle of the field and-- BAM! Wizmark laid him out before he knew what was coming and punched the ball out, getting one of the biggest roars out of the crowd since the start of overtime. T.K. recovered the ball and slung it up the field. Landa made a beautiful running one handed catch and took two steps before sending it to a wide open Rodders, who hooked it into the back of the net for a go ahead goal and three seconds later the buzzer sounded. Rodders gave a yell of victory and found Anderson and Stormborn piling onto him, closely followed by the rest of the team. Alana was among them and while she was thrilled to come away with a win after such a tight, exciting game, there was something that burned inside of her after such poor play. This win just didn't feel like the others. Head coach's office, Miners offices, Salis D'aar, Bakura The next day "Red was terrible," Valerii said bluntly. She had Han Tunross in her office explicitly to talk about Glencross's performance. It was as private a meeting as they could have. If the media, which had already noted that Alana had performed poorly, heard that the new head coach was concerned about Alana's play it could fan the flames, something that nobody wanted right now. "You're sure she's not got any injuries to explain it?" Valerii asked with a sigh. "Nothing. Her last physical had her in impeccable shape," Han said. "What about the shoulder? She injured it in 269." "Strained it and it looks perfect," Han said, "That's mended." "Then why is my captain performing like poodoo?" Gaeriel said, clenching her fist, "We're not going to win a championship like this. I need her. We should have crushed the Rebels. Instead we had to go to double overtime with them." "Can I ask you something Gaeriel? Why keep Abbey and Nelly in? They were clearly outmatched." "Only way they're going to learn Han, and better now than in Week 1, where we need to win and I need a 100% Glencross," Gaeriel said. "Well, there is one thing. You might not like it though," Han said reluctantly. "If it can help me get Alana back on track, then I don't care how much I don't like it," Gaeriel said. "There's a possibility there is a problem, but not a physical one," Han said. "What do you mean not a physical one? What other kind is there?" Gaeriel demanded. "This might be a...mental problem." Valerii leaned in. "Are you saying Alana's gone off the deep end?" "No no no," Han said quickly, "But I'm wondering if she should see a colleague of mine." Later that day "A psychologist?!" Alana shouted, "Are you kidding me?" "No, we're not," Tunross said calmly. He'd been prepared for this reaction and had told Valerii to expect it. "We think that there's something going on, something you don't even know about that's affecting your game and we want to get it taken care of." "This is insane. I am not crazy," Alana insisted. "Nobody's said that you are," Gaeriel said, "Just trust us that this is going to be good for you." "Or what?" Alana demanded. "Or you don't play," Gaeriel said, "And if you don't play, you don't get paid." Alana's jaw dropped. "Excuse me? You're going to renege on my new contract just like that?" She snapped her fingers. "If I take this to the media they are going to destroy this team. Do you want that?" "Do you want that?" Gaeriel shot back, but calmly. "Cundertol will never go for this. Never," Alana said, trying to find a new angle to fight this. "He agrees with me that this is a player health issue and therefore under my purview," Han said, "If I feel you're not fit to play, you don't play." "He also said to tell you, 'Think about the optics,'" Gaeriel added. Alana stood there and stewed. They were right. It would look bad if any of this got out. And if she sat out due to being unwilling to go further with this...it was going to look very bad indeed, especially for her. In fact, she might never play Limmie again if anyone found out she was having "mental issues", even if it was patently untrue, which it was. There was only one option. "So I do this and..." "...and you keep playing and this is all kept completely confidential. Nobody will know," Han reassured her. "Fine," Alana said testily, "When do I get this over with?" Tunross held up a piece of flimsi. "I've made your first appointment for you. She's a colleague of mine and I trust her." Alana snatched the flimsi, turned on her heel, and left. She'd bang this out in a couple sessions. She'd show them there was nothing wrong with her. She was Alana Glencross. Tag: No one in particular

India's trade deficit shrank to a 10-month low in December as global oil prices tumbled and demand for gold fell, auguring well for Indian current account balance and the rupee.
The deficit narrowed by 44 percent from the previous month to $9.43 billion, its lowest since February 2014. The cost of oil imports, at $9.94 billion, fell 15 percent from November.
Oil accounts for nearly a third of India's imports. Global crude prices have plunged more than half since last June, promising windfall gains for Asia's third-largest economy.

Slider screen roller wheels
A home owner from Elsie Michigan says:
March 19, 2016
I have one of your slider doors and screen in my basement, my screen needs new roller wheels and I wonder if you have them. I need 4. the only number I can read is 4013387, it's on the door but having trouble reading the info, it is upside down. it's over 25 year4s old.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
March 21, 2016
You may have us confused with another company. We actually do not make doors. That said, we carry many different replacement parts and could find something for you. Is there any way you can remove the roller from the door and show us a few pictures of it? Can you also give me your measurements? That would help us find the proper replacement.

Changing some settings do not have any effect
The README contains the following explanations for settings:
- "Remote Login" can be disabled. Useful if you're hosting totally separate websites.
- "Permanent redirect" uses a 301 redirect rather than 302 to send visitors to your domain mapped site.
- "User domain mapping page" allows you to disable Settings->Domain Mapping that the user uses.
- "Redirect administration pages to network's original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)" – with this checked, if a user visits their dashboard on a mapped domain it will redirect to the dashboard on the non mapped domain. If you don't want this, remote login will be disabled for security reasons.
- "Disable primary domain check. Sites will not redirect to one domain name. May cause duplicate content issues." – ignore the primary domain setting on your sites. The same content will be available on multiple domains and may cause problems with Google because of duplicate content issues.
I am switching these settings on and off and then testing my site via primary domain, secondary domain and while using www and without www in the beginning. All of these tests are done using curl -I so see headers with response codes and redirect.
No matter what I do the site behaves always the same way. Could you please add some examples to the settings to elaborate what they are supposed to do?
Also when switching setting 3 on and off there is no user visible domain mappings under any settings visible at any time.

New Delhi, Oct 8 (ANI): Activists of Bharatiya Janata Party's youth wing Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM) staged a protest here on Friday demanding the resignation of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah over the controversial speech delivered by him in the State Assembly earlier this week.
Scores of BJYM activists gathered outside the Delhi State Assembly and demanded Abdullah's resignation, saying his comments were against the country.
BJYM chief Anurag Thakur said Omar Abdullah is unable to control the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
"Omar Abdullah has always been unsuccessful in keeping the situation under control and in order to cover up his failure, he is giving comments against the country, which is the language of the separatists. Today Abdullah is using that language, which is completely opposed to by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha," said Thakur.
"His comments are against the country and we want him to resign immediately. The country has the opinion that Jammu Kashmir is and always will be a part of the country," he added.
Thakur also came down heavily on Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government.
"The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, has been unable to reduce the high inflationary prices in the past six and a half years. Corruption has increased and the situation of Jammu and Kashmir has worsened under his rule," said Anurag Thakur.
"On one hand Rahul Gandhi tells Omar Abdullah to give the issue more time, on the second hand Abdullah says that he is not Delhi's puppet. If he is not Delhi's puppet; his comments are like that of an agent of Pakistan; he is behaving like the separatists leader there. The Government should take appropriate steps," he added. (ANI)

The minimal polynomials of unipotent elements in irreducible representations of the classical groups in odd characteristic
About this Title

Publication: Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society
Publication Year 2009: Volume 200, Number 939
ISBNs: 978-0-8218-4369-7 (print); 978-1-4704-0553-3 (online)
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/memo/0939
MathSciNet review: 2526956
MSC: Primary 20G05; Secondary 20G15
The minimal polynomials of the images of unipotent elements in irreducible rational representations of the classical algebraic groups over fields of odd characteristic are found. These polynomials have the form $(t-1)^d$ and hence are completely determined by their degrees. In positive characteristic the degree of such polynomial cannot exceed the order of a relevant element. It occurs that for each unipotent element the degree of its minimal polynomial in an irreducible representation is equal to the order of this element provided the highest weight of the representation is large enough with respect to the ground field characteristic. On the other hand, classes of unipotent elements for which in every nontrivial representation the degree of the minimal polynomial is equal to the order of the element are indicated.
In the general case the problem of computing the minimal polynomial of the image of a given element of order $p^s$ in a fixed irreducible representation of a classical group over a field of characteristic $p>2$ can be reduced to a similar problem for certain $s$ unipotent elements and a certain irreducible representation of some semisimple group over the field of complex numbers. For the latter problem an explicit algorithm is given. Results of explicit computations for groups of small ranks are contained in Tables I–XII.
The article may be regarded as a contribution to the programme of extending the fundamental results of Hall and Higman (1956) on the minimal polynomials from $p$-solvable linear groups to semisimple groups.

Bloemfontein - The pregnant woman who disappeared from her Bloemfontein flat about a month ago has been found dead near the city, police said on Tuesday.
Celeste Fraser-Carson, 28, was found buried near the Meadows Road in the Bloemspruit area on Tuesday morning, spokesperson Captain Harry Nagel said.
The discovery followed the arrest of a 30-year-old man, sought by police in the matter, in Graaff Reinet on Monday night, after information was followed up.
Since the arrest police had worked continuously until the body was found. The man took police to Naval Hill and then showed them the place where Fraser-Carson was found.
"It is believed that she was killed on Naval Hill before her body was buried on the embankment," Nagel said.
A post mortem would attempt to determine the cause of her death and how long she had been buried.
Nagel said the man would appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on Thursday on charges of murder and escaping from custody.
Fraser-Carson's disappearance received prominent attention in the local media.
Photos of the missing mother, expecting her second child, were pinned up all over the city, including at the local magistrate's court.
According to media reports Fraser-Carson, who worked at a local hospital, got into a car outside her flat on February 8 and was not seen again.
Awful news but at least her family might get a little closure.
im sorry if my comment upsets some but bottom line is we live in a sick and twisted society. south africans as a nation are sick and twisted, there are not many places in the world where you can get these headlines, murdered pregnant mothers body found, missing schoolgirl found buried on a beach, suspect charged with 33 rapes appears in court, 3 charged with policemans murder appear in court.......god help us all!
I am not offended by your comment, I absolutely agree with you.
@Abongile: You are quite right. It does happen all over the world. And for thousands of years too. Even that 5000 year old frozen guy they dug up happened to be a murder victim! Shot in the back with an arrow.
I guess the issue here in SA as opposed to the rest of the world is that we are quite high (at least in the top 10) in the per capita stats in terms of murder, amongst others nasty stats. We should be much lower, considering what we've achieved.
@ Abongile - When murders and rapes are reported in other countries it is the exception rather than the rule.
You are wrong Abongile. I used to think the same thing until I moved to a first world country. yes there is crime but it is NOTHING like in South Africa. You don't realise how bad it is until you are not in it any more.
I am an American writing this, and @Abongile, the SA police force, you can not even compare it to the US police force. Training, funding, infrastructure, technology, manpower. According to various reports, the US has a much lower rape rate than Soouth Africa.
Abongile, yes true. South Africa is however top of the list with most violent crimes and even tops war torn countries. Fact remains that SA has a particular bad problem with regards to murder, armed robberies and rape. That is unfortunately a sad fact and we should stand together and do something about it.
Abongile and Brian. You are both examples that gross ignorance exists in the 21st Century. Pregnant woman buried, missing schoolgirl buried on a beach and rapes and murders to the number known in SA only in Iraq or in any other 3rd world country not around in the world as you claim. Maybe the ANC and its supporters should have the balls to admit that this country's morals have gone down the toilet and stop finding scapegoats elsewhere in the world. The time for excuses is over after all these years since 1994. Have the courage to face the enormous problems that exist and stop finding excuses. Death penalty is the only solution and so is the end of ignorance as showed by you both. RIP to those who passed away.
this is south africa y'all, no surprises
'y'all'...sounds like you belong in America
and yes it does.....(this is coming from an american) although that is in our southeastern part........... what we like to call rednecks....... in other words these people hate south africa
Really, I think the death penalty should be brought back ! These criminals have no right to live !
marius wishing for the death penalty is being exactly like these filth .. it will be as if we are doing the same thing ..no difference NADA ...killing one for another ..we can never fix one evil with another evil specially the same thing ..to murdering another human !! BUT DON'T get me wrong ...severe punishment is needed ...CUT OF EVERY RAPIST'S PENIS !!! believe you me rape would stop within days .... if you know you are gonna loose your penis ..any would-be rapist would never considder raping anybody ... but lets start cutting off these penisses !! and for any other offence give them severe wippings daily ...no fancy jail ...just a severe wipping every single day of the sentence ...believe me EVERY PERSON WILL THINK 1000 TIMES BEFORE harming anybody ...nobody wants a wipping for 3 or 4 years long ..each and every single day ..... so lets start pressing for such excellent punishments !!! fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity !! so lets stop shouting to kill other people
Dear Robbie.
If you think you have the RIGHT to take someones LIFE, then in return, you as the criminal should pay with your life!
Castration of Rapists, I fully agree with, but then again, i would like them to receive the death penalty as well. As the Victims LIFE is RUINED FOREVER!! Rape being comitted against someone is like the death penalty for the victim. You Die Inside. Nothing you dO will ever take away the fear, the momories, OR the pain! NOTHING!
A.K.A - Rape Victim
Problem is Robbie, they get sent to jail for 5 years and then come out on so called "good behaviour" just to go out and rape and kill all over again, if they can take an innocent persons life, without giving a crap, then why shoud us innocent people give a crap about their lives. Ever since the death penalty was taken away, murder and rape stats have shot sky-high!! I say bring back the death penalty, an eye for an eye to the murderers and rapists of this world!!!!
THe rate at which crime is happening.....soon there will be no victims left.
hahaha ! Nice-1
RIP Celeste,you will be sadly missed at work,being the person you where you certainly did not deserve this,no-one does!!Bring back the death penalty....!!!!No matter what,who has the right to take a life??
may her soul rest in peace { " mmbwa ya la inwe a i noni " }
I always find it shocking how people have the ability to normalize the amount of crime in their environment. I live in a city of 700,000. Here are my crime stats.
In 2011 six murders.
Three were domestic incidents, husbands killing wives or parents killing children.
One was a bouncer shot by robbers and the other two were some sort of social interaction gone wrong.
All are solved.
The neighbouring large city has a population of 2.5 million. It had 45 murders. As of Jan 1 65% has been solved, I know they have solved some more since then so the percentage will be higher.
That is my normal. Also no burglar guards, front fence, panic button or armed response. I can walk the streets by myself, in the dark, in the city without fear. Do we have some dodgy areas? YES but not many.
I feel sorry for you people. To reduce crime you need effective policing and judicial systems. I don't see that happening in your near term future.
Well Steve, you are maybe one of the lucky ones who could leave SA or maybe you never lived here. It is called desensitising and yes, we are in a tragic state of affairs. The only way to solve this is to bring back the death penalty (I know that taking a life makes you just as bad as the original killer) BUT the criminal element of SA have no fear and being sent to prison is like a holiday... 3 meals, bed, tv, water, etc. and hell, you may even get out after a very short sentence SO there is no deterant because there is no respect for anything whatsoever. These criminals need to be gotten rid of permanents. Would be interesting to know what the repeat offender rate is amongst these miserable excuses for human beings.
I am an American writing this, and @Abongile, the SA police force, you can not even compare it to the US police force. Training, funding, infrastructure, technology, manpower. According to various reports, the US has a much lower rape rate than Soouth Africa.
Atleast they found her body and answers have been brought in them finding her
How dreadful!!!!
Fredster, i bet you are expecting an answer from the president because the accused is black, did you forget about the days when whites murdered blacks for fun...
Rapists and murderers should be removed from society for a very long period. Then before they are released they should be tested again for their aggressiveness. If they are convicted again on a similar crime, or one of a certain type of crime, they should be put away for life without parole. I think by then he or she will be over 60 years old.
I live in a pretty safe Botswana but have many family members and friends living in SA and you know what? EVERY SINGLE ONE of them has been directely affected by violent crime. The worst being my frail 80 year old Father- In-Law being strangled to death and 72 year old Mom-in-Law beaten and left for dead for a couple of bottles of wine and a video machine. Until the problems of vast poverty,Violence in the townships, illegal immigrants from struggling neighbouring countries and overpopulation in South Africa are alleviated there is no solution for the extreme crime level. And we all know there is not much hope of solving those problems either.

I've been reading about making pulled pork ahead of time and freezing it. Everything I've read said it comes out great. Two questions, do you freeze it after you've added sauce to it or before?
The second question has to do with smoking a brisket. Can I make this 2 days ahead? If so, how can I store it so that it stays moist?
Thanks all in advance.

The Blue Rapids Museum, #36 Public Square, will present Jim Elfers, author of The Tour to End All Tours at 2:00 pm Saturday July 11th. When Elfers thought about writing this book about the 1913 World Tour of the New York Giants and Chicago White Sox, he called the B.R. Library first! Why? He thought that if the smallest town to host this World Tour had photos and information about the game on their ball field, he could surely find information in the larger cities. Dr. Don Musil was the repository for photos and stories of the game and the State Bank had a large original advertising poster and Elfers had the start of his book.
The Hometown Teams exhibit at the museum features a recently uncovered photo of Jim Thorpe, the famous Olympic athlete, on the Blue Rapids field during the 1913 game along with tributes to Blue Rapids H.S., Valley Heights H.S. and local athletes.
James Elfers was raised in rural Pennsylvania and the New Jersey seashore. Owning a degree in Geography, he has been employed by his Alma Mater since 1988. A Library Analyst, he spends his work days assigning call numbers to books and movies for a major research library. The author of the Tour To End All Tours, he has also appeared in other book reviews and online. He is the father of two grown sons and enjoys writing and researching.

How delish does that picture look? I like to make a batch of quinoa to have in the house during the week. I have found it helps with the "what's for dinner" dilemma. I prefer to cook my quinoa in chicken broth rather than water. The ending product is more flavorful in my opinion.
The recipe to make the dish in the picture is so simple…it's a trio! What's a trio, you ask? It is a recipe that only requires three ingredients. Fab. I place chopped fresh tomatoes on top of my quinoa, and leave space in the center to add a dollop of pesto. Yum.
For the main dish I kept my salmon simple. I cooked it on the stovetop with salt, pepper, and paprika. Can you tell I love salmon? I seem to blog about it a lot. A side of steamed broccoli, or "trees" as my son lovingly calls it, was a great addition to the meal.
The best part of it all? My son inhaled his food…after he was done devouring his weight in broccoli. Eating clean can be simple and speedy. Did you guys eat anything delicious this weekend? XOXO

World's Fastest Computer to Design Nuclear Power Plants
Interesting story on The Register today. The US will use the fastest supercomputer, called "Jaguar", to design the latest nuclear reactors and the future ITER Fusion Project.
Because of the incredible speed of Jaguar, power plant designers have more capability to simulate plans and designs. "We're now simulating entire nuclear facilities, such as a nuclear power reactor facility with its auxiliary buildings and the ITER fusion reactor, with much greater accuracy than any other organization that we're aware of", said John Wagner, Technical Integration Manager for Nuclear Modelling at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Just how fast is Jaguar? It is rated at a blazing 1.75 petaflops. According to Wikipedia, "FLOPS (or flops or flop/s) is an acronym meaning FLoating point Operations Per Second. The FLOPS is a measure of a computer's performance, especially in fields of scientific calculations that make heavy use of floating point calculations." A simple calculator runs at about 10 FLOPS. A petaflop is 10 to the 15th power FLOPS. That's a lot of FLOPS!
What is amazing to is how cheap and fast computers have become. According to Wikipedia, in 1961 a Gigaflop cost about 1.1 Trillion dollars, and required 17 million IBM 1620's to produce. In 2009, a single ATI Radeon video card topped out at 3.04 teraflops bringing the cost per Gigaflop down to about oh, thirteen cents. Wow…
Putting all the technobable aside, Jaguar is fast, really fast, and yes… it runs Linux!

Lionsgate's Conan Movie on the Fast Track with New Writers
by Alex Billington
August 13, 2008
One of the biggest bits of news today surrounds two writers: Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain. The two have been hired by Lionsgate to write a new script for the Conan the Barbarian movie that's been hiding in the shadows for years. After finishing a script titled Amazon about female warriors with Scarlett Johansson attached, the two were brought on to work on a Conan script separate from the original two writers Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer. Now Lionsgate is anxious to get this into production right away and are trying to launch a franchise by making it a $100 million R-rated origin film. "We all want this movie to go into production as soon as possible. It's a fast-tracked movie."
Blackman and McCain, who wrote the sci-fi flick Outlander as well as the upcoming Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, are not going to be venturing back into the same territory as Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1982 Conan the Barbarian movie. Instead, they're going all the way back to Robert E. Howard's pulp stories first published in the 1930s. Producer Fredrik Malmberg explains: "Fans expect (these types of movies) to be more true to the source material. There's no reason there couldn't be a Conan movie every two years. He's almost like Batman: He's a dark hero. He's a hard hero. He has to be badass, but we also have to like him." Interesting comments from an ambitious producer, let's just hope it turns out that way.
The most integral part of this new Conan movie is the director and unfortunately they still haven't chosen one. If we put two and two together, back at Comic-Con, Robert Rodriguez sort of announced that he would be producing "the" Conan movie alongside of Red Sonja with Rose McGowan. However, considering Rodriguez's name isn't anywhere to be seen in this news, I'm not sure if it's the same movie or not. Iif Rodriguez is involved, let's hope it's someone from his arsenal that ends up getting the gig, otherwise I fear that Lionsgate may be throwing this away if some inexperienced guy directs it. I'm actually pretty excited for this return of Conan, but let's hope it doesn't get butchered. Will this turn out any good?

I have several mpg files, with soft-coded subtitles, and I want to combine the movie files into a DVD. The problem is that any DVD software I've tried doesn't include the subtitles when rendering the project. I've been trying to extract the subtitles, and then import them into GUIDVDauthor, but nothing has worked.
I've tried CCExtractor, but the subtitles it creates cannot be read by any other software, not even VLC.
I've tried yamb, but it doesn't seem to create any files.
I've tried a few other programs, but they don't seem to support mpg files.
Is there a way to solve this issue? Thanks.

Can you post a sample from ccextractor?
Or post a short sample from the mpg?
It could be dvd subtitles or dvb subtitles etc.

Kell Brook vs. Kevin Bizier Boxing Preview, Pick, Odds, Prediction - 3/26/16
Kevin Bizier vs. Kell Brook
Boxing: Saturday, March 26, 2016 at 3:00 pm (Sheffield Arena)
The Line: Kell Brook -7500 / Kevin Bizier +3250 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
Kell Brook and Kevin Bizier fight Saturday night at the Sheffield Arena for the IBF welterweight title.
Kell Brook enters this fight with a 35-0 record that includes 24 knockouts. This will be Brook's third fight since 2015, and he's coming off a May win over Frankie Gavin. Brook is a compact puncher who can hit his opponent from a variety of angles and has won five of his last seven fights by knockout. Brook has above-average hand speed and a vicious uppercut that can end a fight. Special K has very few flaws in his game as he approaches 30 years old. The only real concern with Brook is his stamina, as he tends to wear down if fights go the distance and give away rounds from time to time. Brook has fought all but two of his fights in England, his home country.
USA TODAY Sports
Kevin Bizier enters this fight with a 25-2 record that includes 16 knockouts. Bizier has won four of his last five fights and is coming off a November win over Fredrick Lawson. Bizier is a smart defensive fighter who does a nice job of mixing up combinations. Bizier also has a proven chin and has never clearly lost a fight throughout his career at 31 years old. The concern with Bizier is that he's had a roughly east career at this point, beating up on a bunch of nobodies and fighting in the comfort of his home country. This is different. This will be Bizier's first fight in England and second outside of Canada.
This fight is quite simple and it's going to end with a Brook win. Bizier is a decent fighter but is nowhere in the same class as Brook. In fact, both of Bizier's losses have come in split decisions against Jo Jo Dan, a fighter Brook beat rather easily.
Brook is in a class of his own as a welterweight, and it's going to take more than Bizier to end his run.

2002 Volkswagen GTI - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Exceeded nearly all my expectations
By Joe Freeman on
Vehicle2002 Volkswagen GTI 1.8T 2dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
ReviewThe Golf (including GTI) was the only
car available in the US in early 2002
that was of interest to me. I chose the
GTI mainly because of the 1.8T engine,
since the Golf's 2.0 was mundane. I was
very concerned about reliability and
quality in general, as production of the
Golf/GTI had just been moved to Brazil,
but the GTI exceeded nearly all my
expectations, including excellent build
quality, fit and finish, and in 1.5
years and 18,000 miles, no significant
defects had surfaced. The car's
performance is excellent, as is comfort,
but the 5-speed gearbox is rather
crunchy and the car's handling is good
though not quite what I had hoped for.
Best Features- engineering and aesthetic design - performance - comfort, ergonomics, smoothness - exterior and interior fit and finish - reliability - braking - Monsoon AM/FM/CD/cassette system
Worst Features- gearbox could shift much more smoothly - handling could be sharpened - 16" Continental tires squeal too much - style of alloy wheels could be better - prefer another wheel-locking system - key/remote should be made less bulky

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Project195, Oakland, NJ, USA
In August, I found myself between jobs with a month on my hands. I started looking around for groups doing volunteer work with whom I felt I could make a real impact in just a few days or a week. I found Project195 and contacted Dave Skoblar, the founder. He invited me to trek out to Joplin or to Tuscaloosa and assured me they'd find me work and a place to stay. When I arrived in Joplin, I initially booked a hotel because, as a single female traveling alone, I wanted to have a better sense of whom I'd be working with before signing up for bunk mates. The Project195 group house was absolutely perfect, however. The purchase of the house actually just went through that very week I was there, and I and the 6 or so other volunteers who were in and out that week worked hard both in the field in Joplin and on the Project195 house itself, making it habitable for future generations of volunteers. Staying at a volunteer house made the experience infinitely more rewarding. It made the trip more than just a work trip - it made it a learning experience as I met people from a very diverse background and felt like I grew close to them in only a few days. Plus it gave me people to go celebrate the end of the day with at the local frozen yogurt shop when the temperatures were well into the 110s! This was a great experience and of all the volunteer managers I ran into during that week, Dave seemed to really be the only one finding projects, networking, and getting things done. I highly recommend working with this group!

They just need more volunteers and reliable long-term volunteers who can help coordinate.

[Ed. – With apologies to Robin Williams.]
America won the Cold War against the Soviet Union. However, its economy is beginning to show features of the cronyism that has run rampant in state-run economies which have emerged since then, according to Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer.
Schweizer, a leading expert on the Cold War and crony capitalism in American politics, said while America won the Cold War, America's system of capitalism in the process got infected with a sort of tapeworm because we have "moved in the direction to become more like Russia rather than them becoming more like us."
On Breitbart News Saturday with co-hosts Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon and Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, Schweizer said that after the Soviet Union came apart, the strongest network for building businesses consisted of former KGB agents because they had "all the relationships, contacts, information."
That is why, he said, people like Putin and his colleagues were able to leverage their networks to sell off state assets to the oligarchs.
"Crony capitalism and the rise of Putin's Russia are deeply connected," Schweizer said. "[Connected businesses] got a firehouse sale where they were able to get their assets for pennies on the dollar." …
Schweizer said the cronyism is not as bad in the United States, "but we are heading in the same direction," and that is evidenced by the recent green-energy boondoggles like Solyndra in which Obama administration officials are "picking winners and losers the same way" that Russia did in the 1990s.
