The co-CEOs of Deutsche Bank, buffeted by high-profile legal troubles, are resigning from their posts atop one of the world's largest financial companies.
Anshu Jain and Jürgen Fitschen, who have shared the chief executive job for the past three years, are leaving "early" after an "extraordinary" meeting of the bank's board, Deutsche Bank (DB) announced Sunday.
Jain will step down on June 30, but Fitschen will remain in his role until next May "to ensure a smooth transition," the bank said. Both had been expected to run the bank until at least 2017.
At the same time, the bank named John Cryan, a member of its board since 2013, to be co-CEO with Fitschen for the time being. Cryan, a longtime banker, will become sole CEO when Fitschen leaves for good.

More than one guy has said it. "What is it about this Christian Grey character that has women all hot and bothered?" It is a harder question to answer than it first appears. The easy answer is that he is hot and he is rich. That would be enough. But there is more to Grey than meets the eye – hence the fifty shades – and his real appeal is in uncovering those shades. There is immense desire in being able to pull back those layers.
- He is constantly in control. Even the strongest of women want someone to take care of them at times. The ability to not have to make a decision – about what to wear, what to eat, what to drive – relieves stress from the strong and enables the insecure.
- He projects security. Christian has all the money, the cars, Charlie Tango and let's not forget Taylor. There is nothing he does not have, want or cannot get. No matter what a woman needs, having a man that can get it for her at his whim – or hers – makes an irresistible target.
- He has emotional issues. Let's face it – every woman wants her love to be the salve to heal all wounds. She wants to fix him, to feel like she has given something to him to pay back what he has given her. It feeds into the maternal instinct while stirring the loins. That's a heady combination.
- He is mysterious and charismatic. A single word in the right tone sends people scurrying to his will. A single look can have them eating out of his hand. Women love a master of manipulation.
- He is vulnerable. That might be a contradiction from his control issues but that is what makes the vulnerability so appealing. He is strong and suddenly there is a chink in his armor. Women want to fix it.
The mix of character traits and superficial details makes Christian Grey an intriguing character. He is a splendid, spinning jewel with many facets to be explored. Diamonds, after all, are a girl's best friend.
Until his casting as the millionaire with distinctive sexual desires, Jamie Dornan was not a household name. Despite roles as the Huntsman/Sheriff Graham Humbert on Once Upon A Time, serial killer Paul Spector in the BBC series The Fall and as Axel von Forsen in Sofia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette, Jamie managed to fly under the radar.
Which begs the question, who is the actor that will now forever be known as Christian Grey?
Jamie was born on May 1, 1982, and grew up outside Belfast, Ireland. His father is a doctor, an obstetrician that considered acting. Jamie lost his mother when he was only sixteen. He moved to London after school to train as an actor. He has also been in a band, Sons of Jim and went on tour with KT Tunstall.
In 2006, he appeared in Marie Antoinette. He had a solid modeling career going too, having modeled for Calvin Klein, Dior, Aquascutum and Armani, among others. He had other small movie roles in 2008 and 2009, leading to his 2011 role in Once Upon a Time. He moved from there to the BBC series, where he stars opposite Gillian Anderson from The X-files. The Fall has been picked up for a second season, which he will begin filming after completing his media tour responsibilities for 50 Shades of Grey.
Fun facts about Mr. Jamie Dornan, aka Christian Grey, include:
- He was involved with actress Keira Knightly from 2003 to 2005.
- He married in 2013 and he and his wife have a baby girl.
- Played rugby. Seriously, a high level of rugby. A dangerous level of rugby.
- Season ticket holder for Manchester United.
- Is a cousin, twice removed, of actress Greer Garson.
- His wife, Amelia Warner, is also an actress and a singer-songwriter.
So in real life, our Mr. Grey can model, act, take a hit and sing. Can you imagine the lullabies sang in the Dornan household in that Irish brogue? Obviously, there is more than one shade to Mr. Dornan too.
The first movie from Fifty Shades Trilogy will not be out until February 2015 but according to inside reports, Universal Studios are so convinced of box office success that they are already going ahead for the Fifty Shades sequel. Fifty Shades of Grey movie based on E.L. James best selling erotic novel of the same name wrapped shooting back in February with Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson who plays the role of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele respectively
Since the Fifty Shades Trilogy has a huge fan following, Universal Studios sees no reason why they shouldn't plan with the second movie based on the book "Fifty Shades Darker" seeing as fans are already begging for the trailers for the first book "Fifty Shades of Grey" which is set to hit the theaters next year on Valentine's Day.
A site called Tracking Board has reported that the Universal Studio is "actively moving ahead" with Fifty Shades Darker, the sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey. The first movie is expected to make a lot of money with an estimated budget of $40 million. Currently more than 100 million copies of Fifty Shades Trilogy have been sold. The first book was the fastest selling paper back of all time. So, that means if 11% of the people who have bought the book go to see the movie, then it will reach the $60 million mark. The site has also reported that "Fifty Shades of Darker" is currently an open writing assignment which means they are looking for new writers. Kelly Marcel, Patrick Marber and Mark Bomber wrote the screenplay for Fifty Shades of Grey, but now it looks like Universal wants to start the sequel with fresh talents.
None of the cast has officially signed on for the sequel and director Sam Taylor-Johnson is not certain either. Michael De and Dana Brunetti will still be producing the sequel and Kristin Lowe will be back as an executive. Hopefully Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson will be back as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. The two leads have already gained a huge fan following among the fifty Shades fans. It would be wrong to introduce another Ana and Christian for the sequel. Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
Finally Fifty Shades of Grey trailer has a release date and fans won't have to wait until September. On July 9 E.L. James announced via Twitter that the fans will get the first glimpse of the sexy Christian Grey and the shy Anastasia Steele on 24th July. James tweeted "Hold on to your hats folks. You'll get your first look at the FSoG movie trailer on July 24. I've had a sneak peek and WOW! #WeAimToPlease," It's not clear until now if the entire trailer will be released or if it's only going to be a short preview, but still anything is better than nothing.

U.S. District Court, West Virginia, recently dismissed a complaint from PURPA qualifying facility ("QF") in one of the ongoing disputes regarding ownership of renewable energy credits ("RECs") between QFs and utilities. The West Virginia QF, Morgantown Energy Associates, was registered under Pennsylvania's Portfolio Act and transacting RECs created by it generation under the Pennsylvania Act. But after West Virginia enacted its own portfolio act, the West Virginia Public Service Commission ruled that under the act and the QF's preexisting power purchase agreement with a West Virginia utility, the RECs created by the QF passed to the West Virginia utility without additional payment. This result precluded the QF from continuing to sell the RECs in Pennsylvania (or elsewhere). The combined value of the QF's RECs along with two other similarly situated QFs was estimated at over $50 million through 2025.
On the petition of the QF, FERC was critical of portions of the West Virginia PSC's ruling but declined to initiate an enforcement action under PURPA, discussed here. After FERC declined, the QF brought this action alleging that the West Virginia PSC violated PURPA and that the award of Pennsylvania RECs violated the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. In an unreported decision in late September, the district court ruled against the QF, dismissing the case. The court held that res judicata barred the QF's claims because the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals had previously resolved the issues when the QF appealed the West Virginia PSC's ruling through state court. The district court also ruled that, on the merits, the West Virginia PSC's ruling did not violate PURPA or the Takings Clause. In explaining how the ruling was consistent with FERC's interpretation of PURPA, the court reasoned that the West Virginia PSC's "finding that PURPA [energy purchase agreements] are generous and require no additional consideration is merely an assessment of policy concerns. It does not signify a belief that the [energy purchase agreements] 'inherently' convey RECs."
The district court opinion may be found at Morgantown Energy Assocs. v. Albert, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 140220 (September 30, 2013).

As you know I attended The Hive blog conference this weekend. I have attended the conference every year since it started in 2012 and it continues to be an incredible event which gives me so much in terms of inspiration and hope for the future of us bloggers.
This weekend I met so many inspiring people. I met bloggers who I already knew from the other conferences (Melanie, Jocelyn, Tina, Peggy), I met bloggers I had followed for a long time but never met in person (Deepa eg.) and of course I discovered NEW bloggers (Niki, Gitte and Malene).
Unfortunately both the workshops I had signed up for got cancelled, so I jumped in on a basics photography workshop teached by Tina and Jack Fussell which was great because it gave me an opportunity to do some still life photography of the vignettes created by Tina, and trust me, this is not the kind of photography I am best at or enjoy the most. You can see the results below.
I also took and advanced SEO workshop even though I had already attended a similar one last year. This was a great choice as well because it turns out you can never learn enough about SEO! Our teacher, Thorbjørn, was excellent.
As for the presentations I enjoyed them all but have to admit that there wasn't a lot of new things for me. To be honest though it doesn't really matter because what is so great about these conferences and the presentations is hearing people tell their stories, how they began and how they got to the point where they are at. It is so incredibly inspiring because every single one of them has one fabulous thing in common: The PASSION for what they are doing.
Before going to the conference I had told myself that after three years of attending The Hive this would probably be my last one. Now I'm not so sure anymore. Next year the conference will return to Berlin where it was held the first two years and I think I may just have to stop by…
A BIG thank you goes out to everyone involved in organizing this fantastic event, to the speakers and to all the participants for making it a fantastic and inspiring weekend.
If you want to read more about The Hive check out my posts from 2012 part I, 2012 part II and 2013. And in case you missed it HERE is my post about the kick-off event at Muuto.

Hello there,
I'm working on some style updates and have been using this work to streamline the styles into as many defaults as possible. I've found out that I can take the Windows8Palette and set the Basic and Main colors and accomplish most of what I need. This saves me lots of time digging though styles. So I really like that. I'm running into an issue where I'm opening a PDF in a new window and want to restore the default settings in the Windows8Palette. I save the Basic and Default colors at startup. So restoring them when the new window opens is easy enough. The problem that I'm running into is that Windows8Palette.Palette.<Color> is that I'm updating a static. So the colors change in the app. How do I get just the colors in the new window to change? I can always grab the style and build out a basedon style. However, I want to do this with the smallest amount of maintenance for the future. What's the best way to accomplish this or fewest lines of code?
Thanks for your insight on this,

There isn't a lot of movement on the Big Board this week, as so few of the top NFL prospects faced solid competition. A remarkable stat line versus dramatically inferior competition just doesn't merit a move up the board. That said, players such as Washington's Jake Locker will need to step up their games. Locker is under a lot of pressure not just to live up to his billing as a top prospect, but to get his team into the bowl picture.
Beyond Locker, the other big story thus far is the number of players among this group facing suspensions from the NCAA. While a player like Dez Bryant didn't see his stock fall off completely after missing 10 games last season due to suspension, it certainly knocked him out of consideration for the top 10. That'll be a theme to watch.
As always, an asterisk denotes either a junior or draft-eligible sophomore, typically a redshirt.
Jake LockerQB6-3226 Analysis: Has all the physical tools -- size, arm, even speed and improving footwork. Accuracy must improve. Last week: No. 1
Andrew Luck *QB6-4235 Analysis: Great arm, NFL smarts, solid footwork. Prototypical size and intangibles. Luck checks down with a veteran's savvy. Last week: No. 2
Robert Quinn *DE6-4267 Analysis: Still just 19, Quinn is a freakish athlete. He's still developing consistency. Currently facing NCAA eligibility issues. Last week: No. 3
A.J. Green *WR6-4207 Analysis: The profile of a No. 1 receiver at the NFL level. Great size-speed combination; instinctive, with great hands. Facing his own possible NCAA hiccups. Last week: No. 4
Adrian ClaybornDE6-3282 Analysis: Most consistent, complete defensive end on the board. Solid pass-rusher, steady against run. Fits as a 3-4 or 4-3 end and simply batters linemen. Last week: No. 5

Simple liquid measurements can improve separator efficiency and protect against metal corrosion while minimizing product loss'It's best to look for a pH sensor with a microporous junction and a high surface area.' By Dave Joseph
FACTS TO REMEMBER Selecting appropriate liquid measurement instrumentation for separator vessels optimizes removal of waste products. Electrical conductivity is probably the most cost-effective method for water level control in a separator. Since non-aqueous solutions can coat the metal electrode surfaces of traditional conductivity sensors, only toroidal conductivity sensors should be used.

STL-SF Free Pick
NFC West rivals clash onSunday at Candlestick Park when the San Francisco 49ers host the St.Louis Rams at 4:15PM ET.
The Rams fell to 0-3 onthe season after losing to the Packers 36-17 last Sunday as a 6.5-pointunderdog. Kyle Boller threw for 164 yards and two touchdowns afterreplacing Marc Bulger, who suffered an injury and was knocked out of thegame. Steven Jackson rushed for 117 yards on 27 carries in the loss.
The 49ers lost aheartbreaker to the Vikings, 27-24, but managed to cover the spread as a7-point underdog. Shaun Hill threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns inthe loss, while Vernon Davis caught seven passes for 96 yards and twotouchdowns.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the 49ers 10-point home favorites over the Rams. The over/under totalfor this game has been established at 37.
San Fran suffered a hugeblow to its offense last week Frank Gore suffered an injury that willkeep him out for the next couple weeks. That means rookie Glen Coffeewill carry the full rushing load for the Niners.
It's a little surprisingthat oddsmakers would make San Fran a 10-point favorite over the Rams withoutGore, but don't forget that St. Louis has been brutal offensively so far thisyear, while the Niners have been outstanding defensively.
Don't let the 10 points scare you – take the Niners. Mike Singletary's defensewill shut down Jackson and Boller, while Hill will make enough plays in thepassing game to give San Fran a comfortable victory.
Our NFL Week 4 FreePick for this matchup is: SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS –10 and UNDER 37.

All necessary paperwork must be received by our office at least one full month prior to the start of the semester for which you plan to enroll. Student Financial Services suggests a student apply for aid a minimum of 90 days prior to the beginning of the term. The student will be awarded for the terms usually Fall 1 through and including Spring 2. Summer is normally packaged separately, unless the student begins attending later in the year.
Beginning with the 2017-2018 FAFSA cycle, the FAFSA web page is available to student and their families three months earlier, on October 1, 2016 (for the 2017-2018 award/academic year) Also beginning with the 2017-2018 cycle, the FAFSA will collect income information from the tax/calendar year one year earlier than has been used in the past. Thus for the 2017-2018 FAFSA, students and families will provide income information from the calendar year 2015 (and not calendar year 2016). SFS has a 'priority deadline' date of March 15th each academic year.
The Summer 2017 Aid Request form is now available. The Summer 2017 priority deadline is May 1, 2017 – Late submissions may result in funding delays.
Any financial aid awarded is subject to review based on assistance received from outside sources. All sources of aid, with the exception of Chapter 31 VA benefits are regarded as estimated financial assistance and must be included in the financial aid award.
Funds received from outside sources, combined with existing aid which exceed the limit of gift aid and need based scholarships will be coordinated to first reduce the loans and or work resources, and then college or grant scholarships.

When it comes to general physical treatment, you may not know the difference between physiotherapy and osteopathy. While they both perform somewhat similarly in practice, there is indeed a distinct difference. Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement, exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. It focuses more on recovering from afflictions that have somehow diminished the body's natural level of function, such as walking impairments or similar issues.
There are plenty of practitioners to be found as physiotherapy London isn't hard to come by with the option to go private if that's preferred. You can find a good physiotherapist just about anywhere in London, whether it's Mayfair, Soho, or anywhere in-between.
That said, you may want more information on what physiotherapy is exactly before deciding if that's the kind of professional help you need. Unlike specialised medical professions, physiotherapy focuses on the wellbeing of the entire body and person, including their lifestyle. This approach also includes having the patient directly involved with their own care, through education regarding the techniques and methods used to better care for oneself.
London physiotherapy is also more than just a cure for already existing ailments and conditions. Emergency physiotherapists exist for issues that arise abruptly, but physiotherapy is especially useful as a preventative practice, or a preparatory one; for either preventing medical issues before they ever arise or preparing one's body for an arduous event, such as childbirth or a rigorous sporting event.
As far as sports are concerned, there are a great number of well-educated sports physiotherapists in London, who are well equipped to prepare their patients for intense sporting events as well as treat injuries caused by sporting accidents. Sudden injuries caused by accidents on the field can not only be properly treated by a physiotherapist, but they can help mitigate the pain of the injury during the recovery process itself for a more comfortable path to full health.
London physiotherapists are extremely qualified to deal with all manner of injuries and afflictions. It is a degree based profession, so you can rest assured with the knowledge that all physiotherapists in London have the education they need to care for a wide range of issues, including but not limited to: neurological pains such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's, neuromusculoskeletal issues, such as back pain, whiplash associated disorder, sports injuries, arthritis, cardiovascular afflictions such as chronic heart disease, post heart attack rehabilitation, respiratory ailments such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cystic fibrosis.
Needless to say, when you need to tend to a long-standing injury or ailment, or you wish to take steps to prevent future injuries, physiotherapy is an excellent choice. With several highly trained medical professionals to choose from all around central London and beyond, you can go public or private and ensure the health of your current and future self with ease.

We first analyze the original HyperTransport fairness protocol and show that it is not perfectly fair. We then propose a new, fair scheme whose complexity is similar to that of the HyperTransport protocol.

18 September 2012 Factual 76 mins
Seven adolescents take on the mission of filming, for one week, their family´s housemaids and hand over the footage to the director to make a film. The images that confront us uncover the complex relationship that exists between housemaids and their employers, a relationship that confuses intimacy and power in the workplace and provides us with an insight into the echoes of a colonial past that linger in contemporary Brazil.

Unanswered: adding to a field
Is it possible to put a field in one table into another field in another table. I have a note field in a table called DOWNLOADS that states,"Account suspended due to returned mail. Previous status code was XXX; account must be put back in previous status code."
The 'XXX' is a field in another table. Is it possible to have a query or piece of code grab the status code field from the main ACCOUNTs table and apply it to this note field in my DOWNLOAD table. It would have to insert it in the middle of the sentence. HELP!

Need more details to solve this but have a look at the code below.
(lacks any error trapping)
>>It would have to insert it in the middle of the sentence. HELP!
Where in the sentence? Inserting in or replacing existing characters?
If replacing existing characters - is the length fix or variable?
If you are replacing some random XXX characters that you used as a place marker, you can use the Replace function. Otherwise you will need to use a combination of string functions (Left, Instr, Right) to strip and rebuild the string. Lookup the new value on each pass through the recordset.
' Declare variables
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim strAcountStatus As String
Dim strStatusCode As String
Dim strSQL as String
' Build our SQL string
strSQL = "SELECT AcountID, AcountStatus FROM [DOWNLOADS]"
' Set our database and recordset objects
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
' Loop the recordset
Do While Not rst.EOF
' Edit the recordset
' Grab the AcountStatus string
strAcountStatus = rst.Fields("AcountStatus")
' Lookup the StatusCode based on a relational field between the two tables
strStatusCode = DLookup("[StatusCode]", "ACCOUNTs", "[AcountID] = " & rst.Fields("AcountID"))
' You can use the Replace function if the original is constant
'rst.Fields("AcountStatus") = Replace(strAcountStatus, "XXX", strStatusCode)
' Here we rebuild the string with the first 65 characters, insert the replacement text,
' and then all the text on the right starting with the ";" character
rst.Fields("AcountStatus") = Left(strAcountStatus, 65) & strStatusCode & Right(strAcountStatus, Len(strAcountStatus) - (InStr(1, strAcountStatus, ";") - 1))
' Update the record
' Move and loop
' Clean up
Set rst = Nothing
Set dbs = Nothing

Real estate is a prominent investment chance. A bunch of people choose realty investing. Some individuals comply with real estate as their prime work. So you have property brokers, investor, realty attorneys and others that thrive mostly on the real estate market. However, there are others that do not follow real estate investing as a line of work however still wish to buy property (as it is a desirable avenue for investment).

Bad property brokers can't exist for prolonged (given that the problem concerning any individual travels considerably faster as compared to the good news). So meet is a great action due to that then you acknowledge that the residential property broker hasn't already done anything so bad regarding toss them broke. A great building broker will absolutely not act equally as the sales representative for the seller (from which the real estate broker is due to obtain commission/fee when the offer emerges) yet will additionally attend to the needs of the buyer. Additionally, an excellent property broker will usually have a bunch of homes readily offered market at any kind of kind of factor of time. Good building brokers will normally have a little team of people working in an orderly means to get the bargain closed in between a buyer along with a vendor (making both occasions pleased at the very same time). Wonderful realty brokers will certainly group the houses as though is easy to understand e.g. team them on the basis of location, organizing them on the basis of price, arranging them on the basis of residence types and so on for the consumer. An exceptional real estate broker will absolutely similarly offer advice to the vendor on tiny repair works or things that might get aid them in obtaining an also much much better price for their apartment. As well as a terrific property broker will with patience listen to the needs of the buyers along with intention them to the industrial apartments that finest match their needs (instead of simply showing them the listing as well as asking to pick one).
Consulting friends/family that have actually just recently utilized the options of a great apartment broker might commonly aid you in getting a terrific real estate broker relatively rapidly.

Chicago, IL (PressExposure) June 04, 2009 -- Mike Scioscia was a first round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1976, won two World Series with the team in a 13-year major league career and has led the Los Angeles Angels to a World Series title and developed the reputation as being one of the game's best managers. Still, the former catcher was like most fathers who found it challenging to teach their sons the art of hitting a baseball.
Recognizing the difficulty of teaching a young player how to hit, Scioscia embraced the opportunity to write the foreword to Jack Perconte's recently released book, "The Making of a Hitter: A Proven and Practical Step-by-Step Baseball Guide." Scioscia, who played with Perconte in the Dodgers minor league system when Perconte had brief stints with the major league team in 1980 and 1981, calls his former teammate's book "the best I've seen to help coaches (and dads like me) understand the swing and teach proper mechanics to help a young hitter reach his potential."
"Hitting is the toughest task to teach and perform," Scioscia said. "It can be hard to understand, but Jack's book helps you implement the right drills to develop a consistent hitter."
There are many books that discuss how to hit, but Perconte felt there was a need for one that details how parents can teach hitting to children of all ages, and coaches can teach it to their young players. After 12 years of professional baseball - including seven in the majors for the Dodgers, Indians, Mariners and White Sox - Perconte retired as a player and opened a baseball training academy in Naperville, Ill. The hitting drills, mental training and coaching tips found in "The Making of a Hitter" (www.themakingofahitter.com) were culled from the 60,000 hitting lessons Perconte estimates he gave while operating the academy.
Perconte believes that the best way to help young players learn the correct way to hit a baseball is through educating coaches and parents. "The Making of a Hitter" instructs readers how to teach the fundamentals of hitting, incorporate advanced hitting drills, learn the strike zone, solve hitting problems and help players with the mental side of hitting.
Scioscia thinks the book is invaluable because it breaks down complex topics into easily understandable descriptions that parents and coaches can implement for their players. Scioscia's 20-year-old son, Matthew, is a first baseman for the University of Notre Dame.
"Every good hitter has an understanding of what makes his swing work and how to correct it when it is out of sync," Scioscia explained. "One thing is certain. A hitter must keep it simple in preparation and maintenance to have a chance to be consistent.
"Jack's book has concepts and drills that make it a must read for any coach, hitting instructor or baseball dad," he added. "Every hitter struggles at some point. Jack has a great grasp of what teaching hitting is all about."

First Team News
On this day: 27 January
Eyal Berkovic
Looking back through the events, signings and memorable matches that happened on this day in City's history...
City were on their way to the First Division title, but on this day in 2002 it was the FA Cup that concerned the Blues with a fourth round tie at Ipswich.
Their hosts were struggling in the Premiership at the time and City took full advantage at Portman Road, taking the tie 4-1 with two goals from Shaun Goater and one each from Eyal Berkovic and Darren Huckerby.
It was Berkovic's strike that put Kevin Keegan's side on the way, with the Israeli midfielder brilliantly latching on to a corner to smash in a volley from just outside the area.
One year earlier it was another FA Cup win for the Blues, with Shaun Goater on the scoresheet to clinch a 1-0 win at home to Coventry.
Both sides were struggling in the top flight, and Coventry had come close to scoring early on when John Eustace struck the post.
But City hung on and Goater nodded a Tony Grant corner home deep into stoppage time at the end of the match to seal a spot in the last 16.
Willie Donachie scored the first of just two goals in his long and distinguished career with City to give the Blues a 1-0 win at home to Birmingham.
The Scot was City's first-choice left-back for much of the 1970s and played in excess of 300 games, but rarely troubled the scorers.
He went on to coach City alongside managers Joe Royle, a former team-mate at Maine Road, and Kevin Keegan.
Take us to Wembley!
City face Everton in the second leg of the Capital One Cup semi final tonight, in what's set to be a thrilling night of cup football at the Etihad.

A new life, a new name, a new way to die…
On the Alps, in the summer of 1960, two schoolteachers discover a gruesome sight – a corpse of a murdered man.
How the corpse came to be there is the story of Rex and Paula Buchanan.
A restless and spirited man always on the look out for some new adventure, Rex Buchanan was in the RAF and then earns money, writing pulp fiction novels.
Paula once dreamt of being a famous actress but Rex's writing career is steady enough that she can spend her days idle.
One day, Rex comes home with a fantastic plot idea for his next novel – 'The Ballad Of The Running Man'.
A man insures his life and with the aid of his wife, pretends to fall ill and eventually 'dies'.
In reality, he simply takes on a new identity and waits until it's safe for his wife to join him with the insurance money at hand.
Paula thinks it's a brilliant novel in the making.
Except Rex wants him and Paula to act it out in real life.
At first, Paula wants nothing to do with Rex's little scheme but once the seed is in her head, she can't help but think what a lark it would all be…
And so Rex insures his life, falls 'ill' and eventually dies. In the meantime, he prepares his and Paula's new life.
While Paula, the hysterical, grieving widow, convinces the doctor to sign a death certificate without even seeing the 'body'.
The insurance company is even easier to convince – the young man appeared smitten over her anyway – and soon, Paula Buchanan vanishes.
While some way, away, 'Mr and Mrs Jerome', a quiet, unremarkable married couple, move in to an equally quiet and unremarkable neighbourhood.
But already, both Rex and Paula are planning their next fraud, their next 'death' ploy, their next identities.
They go from identity to identity, getting richer and richer with each new life.
But money has a way of corrupting people and Rex and Paula find themselves suspicious of everyone, including each other.
And then one day, whilst staying in Switzerland, a young man recognises Paula, greeting her as 'Mrs Buchanan'.
But Paula hasn't the faintest clue who this young man is…
A gripping psychological thriller, The Ballad Of The Running Man is a chilling and suspenseful tale.
Nancy Bodington was born in 1912. Under the pen name of Shelley Smith,she wrote 15 crime and detective novels between 1942 and 1978. Smith is best known for The Ballard of the Running Man and its 1963 film adaption starring Laurence Harvey and Lee Remick.

Memorial Day in the United States is the day set aside to honor and remember her fallen military and veteran heroes and heroines. It is a day when most people enjoy picnics, family gatherings, and maybe attend a memorial service at a local military cemetery. Some have the heartache of marking this day at home remembering their loved one who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Enterprises TV honors Memorial Day with thoughts about how American businesses can help military veterans every day.
Hire a US Veteran or Spouse
American military veterans face longer unemployment than any other type of citizen. Businesses that hire veterans know that these determined and loyal citizens are focused, disciplined and are great assets to any company that hires them. They are easy to get along with, understand the chain of command, respectful and diligent in getting the job done. In other words, you can count on them to be at work every day, on time, and know they will complete their workday mission with less drama than the civilian employee.
Hire the active duty member's spouse. These employees need the job, want the job, and know that some employers are reluctant to hire them. Business owners might fret that the spouse might have to leave his or her position if their military spouse is transferred. In reality, any employee can resign from their job and leave the position vacant.
Working with a Citizen Soldier
Employers are required by law to re-employ the citizen soldier. These are employees who are active in the reserves or Guard units. When the citizen soldier returns to work from training or deployment, the employer is required to hold their job or re-employ them in a similar position.
Need to Know Info
Under the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA), employers cannot take discriminatory action against any military reservist by requiring them to use vacation or paid leave time when in training or deployed. When the employee returns, they are entitled to all seniority-based benefits held before deployment or training. In addition, these benefits must be retroactive as of the date they would have been made if the employee was a civilian.
Enterprises TV has several US military veterans on staff from different branches of the service. These colleagues, co-workers, and supervisors are dedicated and possess leadership qualities that can be counted on. They are even-keeled, impart their knowledge, skills and experience to their teams, and are good friends. The best thing you can do for your business, no matter its size, is hire a military veteran, civilian soldier or their spouse. For more info on what employers need to know about the employment of these fine Americans, click here.

WATCH: Police slam teacher to the ground while saying blacks have 'violent tendencies'
A new storm has erupted after a police video shows a white officer throwing a black woman to the ground during a traffic stop, followed by another white officer telling her black people have "violent tendencies".
The shocking clip was shot in Austin, Texas in June 2015 but only emerged on Thursday after the Austin American-Statesman obtained a copy.
The video shows the traffic stop escalating rapidly in the seven seconds from when officer Bryan Richter first gives a command to 26-year-old Breaion King to close her car door to when he forcibly removes her from the driver's seat, pulls her across a vacant parking space and hurls her to the asphalt.
Later king was filmed as she was being driven to jail. The camera recorded a conversation between King and officer Patrick Spradlin in which he said whites may be concerned about interacting with blacks because they can appear "intimidating."
On Thursday Austin, Texas Police Chief Art Acevedo apologised to Ms King during a news conference and pledged a series of administrative investigations and increased training. He said his "heart was sickened and saddened" by the arrest.
"I'm sorry that on the day that you were stopped for going 15 miles per hour," Acevedo said in a public apology.
"You were approached in a manner and treated in a manner that is not consistent with the expectations of this police chief, of most of the officers of this police department, and most importantly I think of all of us as human beings."
Acevedo said he didn't learn of the videos until Tuesday, when a prosecutor called him after receiving inquiries from the Austin American-Statesman.

Toronto FC midfielder Júlio César's time with the club has ended before ever really getting started.
Not even three months after signing with Toronto FC, the 34-year-old was waived by the club on Friday. The well-traveled midfielder had not made a single appearance for the Reds this season as he was nursing a calf injury.
The former Real Madrid man spent the last two seasons playing for Sporting Kansas City, where he made 54 appearances in regular-season play, before being released by the club last November.
Júlio César is now eligible to be picked up by any other MLS team.

The Blackout Radio Show with Mike Pougounas
The music that one can listen on this show is mostly new releases by post punk, Gothic or punk rock bands plus some old ones every now and then for good measure. We are also trying to keep the listeners informed about forthcoming gigs of the bands of the post punk scene.
Artists who honored us with their mini interviews so far: Alex Daniele (author of the book "The Mission – At War with Gods), Nick Schultz (of the band Faces of Sarah), Paul Devine (of the band Siiiii), Piers Sixx (of the band Arcane Winter) Rob Layton (of the band Red Sun Revival), The Expelaires, Trevor Bamford (Nightbreed Rec., Nightbreed Radio, Every New Dead Ghost, Midnight Configuration, Arcane Winter, Death Party UK)…


text: I got my Evo last week and within the past few days I noticed at times the ActiveSync starts up adn will continue to try to sync my emials which is totally draining my battery life. The first time I noticed it, my phone was very warm adn the sync ICON on teh top of the phone appeared. Being a new user to the EVO (and android) i started looking into it further and when I woudl view the sync status within the Exchange Account, the circle would roll, reset for a splt second and start again. It would never make it to teh calendar or contact as it just tried to get the email over and over again. Next, I tried to turn off... no luck. Eventually, I removed the account adn then reestablished and that seemed to fix the problem... temporarily. Within the next 18-24 hours it did it again and I am now seeing it once a day. Any thoughts on why or how to fix this issue?

The JV football teams from Clinton and East Bladen had to wait four days, but on Monday night they finally got to play the game originally scheduled for last Thursday. The Dark Horses used a rare quick start and capitalized on turnovers to take a 24-8 conference win over the visiting Eagles.
Clinton forced a turnover on the Eagle's first possession when J'Daques Wallace scooped up an Eagle fumble to give the Dark Horse offense a short field. Clinton quickly took advantage of the turnover, efficiently marching the ball down field scoring the first touchdown of the game at the 3:40 mark of the first quarter when Emoni Monk carried it into the end zone from the 3-yard line. The Dark Horses opted for a two point conversion that was successful, but took two tries. The first attempt was called back due to a holding penalty. After the 10-yard penalty was marched off, Clinton's Knowledge Evans dropped back and threw a 13-yard scoring strike to Carson Ellis to give the Horses an 8-0 lead.
Clinton's defense came up big on East Bladen's next possession forcing an Eagle punt after three quick plays. The East Bladen punter hit a short punt giving Clinton great field position once again, this time the Dark Horse offense started at the Eagle's 37-yard line. Emoni Monk posted his second score of the night when he burst through the line for an 8-yard touchdown run with 11:54 remaining in the first half. Knowledge Evans called his own number to tack on the two-point conversion and the Clinton lead was 16-0.
The Eagle offense took the ensuing kickoff and drove into Clinton territory marching into the red zone, seeming to have found some holes in the Dark Horse defense. The opportunistic Dark Horses soon put a stop to the drive, forcing a fumble that Jatiyuhn Wilson recovered to give Clinton the ball back at their own 20-yard line.
Behind a couple of nice runs by Cameron Armwood and Jaheim Faison the Dark Horses pushed across midfield and set their sights on another score. Knowledge Evans connected with Carson Ellis for a big gainer down to the Eagle 2-yard line and Faison scored on the next play to give Clinton a 24-0 lead after Terrell Valentine slipped through the line with the two-point conversion.
East Bladen finally got on the board when they returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown. After a successful 2-point try the Eagles had cut the Clinton lead to 24-8 at the 1:56 mark of the second quarter. With Clinton unable to get a drive rolling the Horses were satisfied to take the 24-8 lead to the locker room at the halftime break.
The second half proved to be a defensive struggle with both teams stepping up on defense and frustrating every offensive threat. Neither team was able to get any offensive traction and the second half was played to a scoreless draw, the game ending with the Dark Horses taking the 24-8 win.
After the game, Clinton head coach Scott Lewis praised his team's quick start, saying, "we got out of the blocks early tonight, something we did not do in our first four games of the season and it paid off. We took advantage of a couple of turnovers in the first half and then the defense really stepped up in the second half. This is a good conference win for our guys."
The win improves Clinton's record to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in Four County Conference play. Clinton will travel to Midway on Thursday for a matchup with cross-county rival Midway.

i used to adore the easter holiday – sunrise church service, plenty of later church services, joyous singing, dressing up… but i haven't attended church since college when i went – shall we say – religiously. in college, i had an understanding & wise chaplain, a family of friends who all held different beliefs but accepted each other, and very few commitments to get in the way. no matter how my faith evolved & changed over those 4 years, i had those things to fall back on & into a pew.
my degree is in religion. it has served me well in that i have been exposed to a wide variety of world views without judgement, i have been forced to constantly evaluate my own beliefs, and i have been stretched to think beyond the box. besides, "it" is what i love!
my education in religion has also left me quite confused.
faith & family – an intersection
after college, working weekends with an unpredictable schedule meant that i didn't have the opportunity to try new churches. i didn't have the chance to find a new church family, somewhere that i fit in or that would support my set of beliefs. and then i married a catholic.
since mike & i weren't attending church, and faith appeared to be a more academic exercise, this never posed a problem. of course, like most things, having a child screws everything up! that's a joke, by the way. suddenly there are matters of baptisms and holidays to attend to. questions of teaching morals without a religious structure. wanting her to understand "faith" without "dogma."
and realizing just how far dogma – rite & ritual, tradition & custom – penetrates our very core.
saying i want "religion without religion" – the subject of my honors thesis and core philosophy of my favorite theologian – becomes much more difficult when faced with the practical needs of raising a child. possibly more difficult when faced with the issue of crossing the divide between two vastly different sides of the same religion.
so this weekend, easter weekend, a holiday that for me is purely religious – sorry, easter bunny – i watched mike take lola to mass and i cried. i made the last minute decision not to go to the local united methodist church for an easter service. i'm just not sure what the point would be if it was "just me," if there was no family. i suppose dogma & ritual has a place for me when it's surrounded by family but, on my own, it is not something i crave. since mike's family is all practicing catholics, he doesn't seem to experience this inner struggle.
religion for us is not a fight (there are plenty of others) so much as it is just an understanding that we believe different things and that neither of us with be budging any time soon. and therefore, it's not something that will be experienced by us as a family. without family, there may be no place for dogma & ritual in my life – and somehow i feel a profound loss at that realization. as a person of deep faith, strong held beliefs, a nagging liberal arts education, and no desire to sit in church by myself every week, i am left at an intersection between faith & family, feeling that i've made all the compromises i can make on either side.
i hope you weren't waiting here at the end for a profound thought or nugget of inspiration because i have none. this post is more about me putting thoughts on paper (or computer screen) and letting the little digital words help me sort things through.
i am curious to know, though, if you have struggled with the same intersection – where family meets faith and where faith meets tradition – if you've decided which way to turn, or if you have a completely different way of handling this struggle in your own life.

Hey there loves! I hope you all enjoy your spring break. While I was listening to this chill playlist that Nik created -he's one of my favs bloggers to read, check him out- I just felt the need to wear something appropriate for spring. And what's better than crop tops, right?
I bought this one from Santorini a couple of years ago, and it's still my favourite piece in my wardrobe. I don't know if it's because of the top itself or the memories from the incredible time I had there. I 've been searching for it everywhere, I thought I lost it and I was so frustrated. But finally one day I found it somewhere among my summer clothes, and I felt like a 5-year-old kid that got a balloon!
Crop tops are often a little revealing, and it's a thin line between making them look cute or trashy. You can never go wrong with a high-waisted pair of jeans. That way the only revealing piece of the outfit is the top. I personally don't prefer high-waisted shorts with crop tops, because you show your chest, your back/waist, your tummy and your legs! Even if the top is more elegant or the only part of the body that is "naked" is the tummy, I still think it doesn't look good with shorts. I believe that showing one thing at a time, is way more stylish and delicate.
When it comes to jeans, I've said a million times before that I like them ripped. And most of my jeans I ripped and dyed them myself. Just like this one. It was a boring, cold blue colour that didn't look nice with anything. So I dyed it black, and now it goes with everything. When you get to know how to dye your clothes properly, you change your whole wardrobe! And it's so fun!

Nov 7, 2014 -
If you follow Front Line closely, you'll have noticed I took a week's hiatus after our recent Group Meeting. With the addition of the TM retreat, it was the longest Group Meeting in several years; it seemed only fair to allow you all time to decompress. But it's now time to delve into the highlights and discuss SWOG's go-forward plans.
For me, one of the high points was SWOG Deputy Chair Anne Schott's presentation in Plenary I, detailing the range of research funding programs SWOG and The Hope Foundation offer. She announced a new juried award program that I want to mention here -- the SWOG Early Exploration and Development (SEED) Fund, designed to support preliminary projects that are the underpinnings of -- or pilots for -- larger proposed studies.
A key criterion a SEED proposal must meet is direct application to future, larger-scale SWOG research. SEED-fundable projects might include validating an outcome measure or questionnaire, gathering needed toxicity data, or testing the feasibility of an intervention for use in a proposed trial. Another example would be collecting pilot data to fortify a study concept already in development.
Though SEED projects should potentially translate to future SWOG research, they don't need to be linked to a specific ongoing or proposed trial. The award may also support smaller, self-contained projects, such as the development of a new research methodology or technology.
SEED awards are modestly robust, up to $65,000, to be spent over a one-year or two-year award period. Proposals will be accepted in two rounds annually, with deadlines of July 1 and December 1 (i.e., about three weeks from today).
Much else transpired at the Chicago meeting, and you'll hear about nearly all of it here in the coming weeks. For now, keeping in mind the imminence of the next submission deadline, you can find the SEED Fund RFA and application online. Please apply -- we don't want the funds to lie fallow.

I have a few of these in my favorites and it is on my to do list. These SketchUp plans are my blueprints which can be downloaded here.
The Dimensions are in Scene 2
The detail for the hole position is in scene 3. "Paul with his "X Puzzle - 3 times a charm gave me the insight for this method. Use a kerfmaker (see my quick 5min kerfmaker) to cut out the centres of solid blocks. Put the two together and drill the holes right thru from the end. This ensures a perfect alignment for the pins. I have a few pieces of 5mm aluminium rod lying around so I plan to use that for the pins. Wooden dowels or nails could also be used. Adjust the hole size for whatever dowel will be used 5 or 6mm will work with the dimensions of this model. The pins should be about 2mm shorter than the recess holes in which they fit.

An interesting thing I've had to adjust to since moving to the UK to study games is the history of cassette-based computing and gaming that was almost totally absent from the North American scene of the 80s and 90s. The ZX Spectrum in particular had a huge influence on both commercial and homebrew game creators (and the line between the two was not always so clear!) and cast a shadow of influence I hadn't even been aware of. Learning about these unfamiliar home computing systems and the colorful cultures and history around them has been exciting, but a few months into my studies I had yet to actually encounter or handle a ZX Spectrum.
My first experience pressing one of my fingers into those gummy rubber keys was at the Museum of London. I had heard of their new initiative to collect videogames that were developed in London or somehow featured the city as a prominent location, and knew that an initial selection of these games would be on display at the same time I'd be in the city for Now Play This, so of course, I decided to check it out.
The display mostly followed the paradigm of presenting games as historical objects. There they were, inside perspex cases to be admired for their interesting material qualities, while short paragraphs of text, screenshots from the games, and interviews with the developers provided context. It was an interesting, if a bit distanced look at London's history of game development.
However, in the cafe area, there were several screens with Raspberry Pi-powered emulations of the games running in the original console's housing. Some of these were action platforms, others text adventures. I did my best to make sense of any of them, but the placards explaining the games offered little in terms of what goals to pursue or even what vocabulary would work effectively with the text games. I tried to get in the spirit, thinking to myself, well, gaming was a different experience back then! There was no GameFAQs or tutorial level and you had to rely on experimentation most of the time! But even then, the kiosks felt neglected, and it was hard to tell when something was your own fault or the program or equipment was somehow glitching. It felt noisy, out in the open, somewhere it'd be more appropriate to spend 15 minutes scoffing a sandwich than taking a deep dive into the absurd world of Hampstead, so I gave up, mostly dissatisfied.
Weeks later, at Feral Vector in Hebden Bridge, I was given the task of freeing Willy. I'm of course talking about Jet Set Willy, a 1984 ZX Spectrum title developed by Matthew Smith. It's a pretty basic jump, dodge, and collect-em-all type platformer with a veneer of Monty Python-esque humor. Despite some major bugs upon release, it was generally seen as a worthy successor to Manic Miner, the first game in the series, and topped UK gaming charts for a significant period of time.
At first glance to players of today, from the box art to the very specific humor, it's quite weird and impenetrable. I entered Dr. Caligula's Pirate Willy Workshop entirely unsure of what to expect. What I got was what I consider my first LARPing experience, a bootleg cassette tape, and an eye-melting hand-drawn grid of colors, letters, and numbers. By the end of the hour I was slightly overwhelmed, maybe a bit dizzy, but overwhelmingly proud. Above all, I felt I understood more about Jet Set Willy better than any traditional museum display could have conveyed. So what happened?
Jet Set Willy had one of the earliest forms of copy protection. Legitimate copies of the game came with a small card that had a grid with groups of four colors all over it. Before you were allowed to play the game, it would ask you to enter a specific coordinate on the grid, a series of four colors. By today's standards, in a world of increasingly sophisticated and annoying DRM, it seems almost laughable. But the lack of digital photos, internet access or color copying made replicating the card a bigger hurdle than copying the cassette itself! The Pirate Willy workshop transported all of us back to that conundrum, circa 1984, where one of us in class was lucky enough to have an original copy of the game, and we only had our lunch period, a pile of blank cassettes, and an assortment of crayons and colored pencils to distribute the game, and the way of cracking its copy protection, to everyone.
Described as both cooperative coloring and an 80s copy protection scriptorium, we quickly strategized our approach to put one person in charge of reading off coordinates and groups of colors for everyone to copy while each person quickly passed off their card when they had to abandon the project for a few moments to rush to the tape deck and copy their own cassette. It was a maddening process that charged onward no matter how many times I felt a hair away from falling behind, but for the most part, it ended successfully. We finished the reading of the grid and copying the tapes within an hour, with 4 minutes to spare, and when tested, my own copy of the game worked. As I took to the keys of the ZX Spectrum again, entering the four colors to a cheer of victory when the game's title appeared, and then quickly being crushed by malevolent household objects, I finally felt like I "got" ZX Spectrum games.
I don't want to denigrate the work of the huge amateur and professional community making emulation more accessible and covering a broader variety of media and games all the time. Their work is vital, but I don't think it's the be-all-end-all. My experience at the Museum of London showed that even a well-considered emulation approach can fall flat in communicating the significant qualities and importance of these games without proper guidance and contextualization for players. Activities like the Pirate Willy Workshop aren't a long-term conservation strategy for original games in a way that migrating their source code is. Making around 20 copies of an original tape in one go surely wears it down, and the bootleg covers and copy protection cards we made to accompany it were of varying quality. I submit only my own for judgement.
However, this engagement with the material culture of piracy and sharing within the cassette gaming scene, and the real frustration of getting the thing to work before you could even play it informed me in a much different way than playing these games on a clean, fast emulation system. Revisiting Willy, under perspex or running on a Raspberry Pi in a gallery would mean so much more to me now, but only because I've had the experience of feverishly replicating the copy protection codes and waiting in suspense to see if my pirated copy would load successfully.
Gaming is a young medium, which means many of the people making choices regarding what should be preserved and how draw on their own experiences with a healthy dose of nostalgia. It's unavoidable that one person's canon of gaming will be different than another's, and they'll both be colored by personal tastes. What's important to avoid is the presumption that everyone also has these experiences, or that they'll take the significance of these works for granted just because they're presented in a museum context. Activities that go beyond emulation and display can help to acknowledge and bridge these differences.

Difference Between SEO Marketing SEO Advertising
The difference between SEO marketing and SEO advertising involves a few factors. SEO marketing: the process of boosting website ranking based on relevant keywords.
Conversely, advertising or PPC marketing is another way of inducing web traffic. Marketers can create ads for the sponsored areas of search engine pages. Marketers pay search engine companies (ie Google or Yahoo) a fee to list an ad, and when someone clicks on it, the company posting the ad gets billed.
Paid search has proven to be an effective method to generate leads, but difficult to measure the return as you attempt to scale. For marketers today, paid search optimization allows for great opportunity to generate leads while being able to drive conversions.
Both SEO and advertising have a large part in modern marketing practices.
Captora knows marketers miss out on opportunities in both strategies. Yet our award-winning technology is designed to grab the attention of your buyer pool with both organic AND paid search campaigns. With the newly found importance of top-of-funnel marketing, Captora will leverage your company's content ecosystem and produce audience-centric campaigns that are guaranteed to double your actionable insights and lower your cost-per-lead.

Ben Affleck shaves off 'good luck charm' beard post Oscars
The 40-year-old shaved off his beard at a private post-Oscars party in Hollywood, with co-producer and friend George Clooney egging him on and wife Jennifer Garner leading the effort, Us Weekly reported.
The "good luck charm" clearly worked for Affleck as the actor went on to collect Screen Actors Guild trophy, a Golden Globe and BAFTA award this season.
Though he was famously snubbed from Oscar's best director short-list, Affleck made it up by registering the Best Picture win over eight other films for his Iran hostage drama.
"He did it himself at the restaurant," a source said. Garner reportedly brought the clippers as she and Affleck's kids were sick of the beard, the source added.
