I knew Bertie Mee only slightly, and spoke to him on a regular basis only during the Eighties, while he was offering all the help and encouragement he could to the first of my stunningly ineffective campaigns against corruption in football. He especially deplored the practice, which endures, of managers and other club officials receiving backhanders in connection with transfers and must have been dismayed that fate should later single out for punishment George Graham - not only a successor as Arsenal manager but one of his Double-winning players - when so many got away with it.
The FA, of late, have promised much but delivered their all-too-familiar little. So I was sad rather than shocked that Bertie should pass away without seeing the game's moral guardians get to grips with the bung culture (to be fair to them, he was only 82). The consolation for Bertie's spirit is this: when he died, the worst that could be said of him was that he had a tendency to be pompous (true) and to resemble Captain Mainwaring from Dad's Army. In other words, Bertie never required the protection of the libel laws. Just wait until a few of his managerial counterparts from the late 20th century reach their graves.

Christmas Forest provided wreath for review purposes, all opinions 100% my own.
Our family usually begins Christmas decorating the day after Thanksgiving. We make it an entire day of decorating, drinking egg nog, eating Thanksgiving leftovers and watching The Polar Express. The day after Thanksgiving is when we get in the Christmas spirit. We all look forward to it.
This year, we started a bit earlier than usual by hanging a stunning Christmas wreath on our sun porch door from Christmas Forest.
Our mission is to bring the very essence of Christmas into every wreath that we create. Alive with the fresh evergreen scent of the Cascade Mountains, each of our hand crafted wreaths is a one-of-a-kind creation.
Christmas wreaths are the perfect adornment to any door in your home. With festive details such as bulbs, lights, bows and pine cones.
I chose the Jazz-a-Tazz wreath which is absolutely beautiful. This handmade wreath is 20" in diameter, so a wonderful size. With fresh noble fir, the moment I opened the shipping box I could smell the fresh pine scent.
This wreath is decorated with pine cones, blue and silver Christmas ornaments and has a silver bow included to add to the wreath. The bulbs are a combination of matte and shiny. It is the first thing I saw when choosing my wreath, I loved how dazzling this wreath looked.
Gorgeous, right?
What I love is because this is made of noble fir, it isn't prickly, so you won't harm yourself removing from the shipping box or hanging. The needles are soft and the wreath is full. My sun porch door is looking mighty festive and will for at least three weeks, as Christmas Forest wreaths last approximately this long.
I chose this wreath, because everything at Christmas tends to be green and red. I think I'm breaking away from tradition this year, and adding more blue into our holiday décor. Blue is beautiful, calming and a refreshing change.
The Razz-a-Tazz Christmas wreath retails for $44. If you want something a bit more traditional take a look at the classic wreath.
Christmas Forest also sells handcrafted Christmas ornaments.

After languishing in a Main South funeral home for six days, spurring sporadic protests and attracting a national media spotlight, the body of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev is now buried in an undisclosed location out of state, officials said.
Police Chief Gary J. Gemme and an official of Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlors said Thursday morning that Mr. Tsarnaev's body had been shipped out of state, but declined to say where or when the relocation took place.
Tsarnaev's burial place is expected to become known with the release of his death certificate.
"As a result of our public appeal for help, a courageous and compassionate individual came forward to provide the assistance needed to properly bury the deceased," Chief Gemme said.
He thanked the community that provided the burial site without identifying it.
Graham Putnam owner Peter Stefan had said earlier in the week that he was running out of options after having contacted numerous cemeteries in Massachusetts and elsewhere, none of whom would accept the body for burial.
The undisclosed arrangements apparently were made at some point on Wednesday after Chief Gemme addressed the media in front of the funeral home, making a plea for help to find a burial site.
After the chief made his plea, offers of a burial site began to pour in from across the country, although some offers were later withdrawn.
Mr. Tsarnaev's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni of Maryland, ultimately selected the cemetery from among the sites offered with help from Deputy Police Chief Steven M. Sargent, according to Chief Gemme.
Tsarnaev's widow, Katherine Russell, had asked to have his body released to her in-laws.
"The body was moved after normal business hours at a time where we felt we could quietly move the body," Chief Gemme said. He did not disclose if the move occurred late Wednesday or early Thursday.
The chief said that if the family requested a deceased person be buried, "in a civilized society" the request should be honored.
District 4 City Councilor Sarai Rivera said she did not know where the body was taken, and said her concern was for the residents and businesses in her neighborhoods that were disrupted for several days.
"Something had to happen here," she said. "Where the body went was a family matter that really wasn't for us to make a decision."
U.S. Rep. James McGovern released a statement Thursday praising Chief Gemme "for his extraordinary leadership not only ensuring public safety, but in finding a solution" to the issue. The Worcester Democrat commended the Police Department's "true professionalism in their around-the-clock efforts" and thanked funeral director Stefan for "unwavering compassion."
"I am glad that we as a community can finally put this saga behind us and return our focus to helping the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings and their families to heal," Mr. McGovern said.
Main South neighborhood activist William Breault, who started a fundraiser to pay to ship Tsarnaev's body out of the country, said he will return the money he collected.
"I'm glad he's out of here," he said. "I would have liked to see him out of the country."
Others in Main South Thursday were also pleased by the news.
Grace Owusu, whose Midway fashions store is a few doors down from the funeral home, said she was happy the neighborhood could now return to normal.
"We've had traffic jams and my customers could not park on Main Street," she said.
"That's awesome," said Luis Verges who was walking past the funeral home Thursday morning.
Gov. Deval Patrick said Thursday that he's glad the Tsarnaev family had found a burial location but does not know where it is.
He called the weeklong drama over where to bury Tsarnaev a circus and said he hopes attention can now return to caring for the victims of the bombing, which killed three people and injured 260.
In Russia, Tsarnaev's mother claimed authorities wouldn't allow her son's body into the country so she could bury him in her native Dagestan, but Russian officials would not comment on that contention.
An expert in U.S. burial law said the resistance to Tsarnaev's burial was unprecedented in a country that has always found a way to put to rest its notorious killers.

After ten years of Facebook, let's remember the antidote!
Facebook has just celebrated its tenth birthday – and it's hard to believe the website has only been around for a decade.
At the end of last year, it boasted 1.23 billion active users every month, according to official figures. That's an increase of 170 million on the previous year – and roughly double the number that were logging in regularly in 2010.
In both the UK and the US, a staggering one in three people use Facebook every day, according to The Guardian newspaper this week.
I must admit I fell a little out of love with Facebook today when I visited the site and an advert popped up correctly forecasting the age I will be at my next birthday. It then asked whether I would like to take out funeral cover – a tad premature given that I am probably only a little bit over half way through my working life!
But let's be honest – in many ways it has been a great website based on a simple but great idea. As a result of its existence, I've certainly kept in contact with people with whom I otherwise wouldn't have done. Moreover, in a handful of cases, vague acquaintances really have developed into genuine friendships through the exchange of banter and sharing of mutual interests. I've even got to know a reasonably well-known radio continuity announcer who turns out to have a very committed Christian faith.
If nothing else, Facebook indicates our natural human desire to be connected with others. And anything which enables people to communicate, to stay in touch, to laugh together and to share things with one another has got to be good from a Christian perspective.
However, it is also a poor substitute for the real thing. And by that I don't just mean genuine friendship between people who actually see one another, as opposed to being virtual online friends in name only – good though that is of course. I mean Christian fellowship.
It's a word that is perhaps not in as much use as it used to be. But anyone who has experienced authentic fellowship knows that it far surpasses both friendship and certainly Facebook.
I was in a country in the Middle East not so long ago and during my time there worshipped with a congregation where almost every individual represented a different nation on earth. And yet there they all were – praying and singing together.
This sort of fellowship is more than the bonding that comes through a shared passion such as music, sport or some other mutual interest. For one thing, it involves a genuine love and commitment to others – no matter how different they may be.
Moreover, it can exist and be recognised even before scarcely a word is spoken. When two people genuinely know Jesus Christ then there is something almost instinctive and intuitive in the way they relate which is hard to put into words but which everyone who has experienced it will understand.
Of course, Christian fellowship is not always easy. The fact that Christ brings together people of all sorts of races, ages, temperaments and backgrounds can make life challenging sometimes. It's far easier, perhaps, to sit in a chair sharing sardonic comments and uploading photos via Facebook than to engage face-to-face.
But why settle for second best? Facebook is great, friendship is better – but fellowship beats them all. If we find ourselves spending too much time online it's good to remember the antidote: Connect with Christ and you suddenly find you have more friends of all ages and backgrounds than you could ever have imagined.

Last Updated: 11/11/08 12:19pm
Leicester have lost defender Patrick Kisnorbo until Christmas.
The Australian is a key member of Nigel Pearson's side, but he has now been sidelined with a knee injury.
He picked up the problem during the FA Cup win over Stevenage at the weekend and he will be out for around six weeks - a club spokesman confirmed.
Kisnorbo is now likely to miss up to seven league matches, as well as their FA Cup second round clash against either Hereford or Dagenham & Redbridge.

Living paycheck to paycheck is no fun for anyone. One working mother in St. Augustine just wants to be able to provide clothes for her two daughters. In order to do this, she asks for a little assistance from The St. Augustine Record's Empty Stocking Fund.
"I'm real tight on money this year. I'm a single mother of two precious, beautiful daughters living from paycheck to paycheck. I can't afford gifts or clothes this year. I would love for them to be able to get a gift possibly (some clothes) because they are both growing out of everything. I don't have a lot of family. If there's any way possible, we just really need the help," she writes.
You can help this friend or neighbor by donating to the Empty Stocking Fund. We all know the holiday season is a difficult time for many. The Empty Stocking Fund was started in 1986 to help families at Christmastime. In 2012, we helped 1,024 families and distributed more than $100,000 in food and merchandise to residents of St. Johns County.
Here's how to donate, checks and cash only:
■ Drop off at The Record building, corner of S.R. 312 and S.R. 207 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays
■ Mail to Empty Stocking Fund, c/o The Record, P.O. Box 1630, St. Augustine, FL 32085
■ Place in drop boxes for St. Johns County Utility Department at 2175 Mizell Road, Shores Riverview Club or St. Augustine South (first entrance)
■ Place in drop box at Ponte Vedra Utility Dept. Office, 5430 Palm Valley Road. Also can accept donations at window inside.
■ St. Johns County Utility Department is also selling paper stockings to their employees and customers for a donation of $1 per stocking. The stockings will be hung in their offices in St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra.
■ The St. Johns County Property Appraiser's Office, 4030 Lewis Speedway, Room 203, at the courthouse complex will also be selling paper stockings for a $1 donation. The stockings will be hung in their offices.
All checks should be made payable to Empty Stocking Fund. All donations are published in The St. Augustine Record daily from Thanksgiving through the end of the year.
The Empty Stocking Fund is a registered 501(c)(3) organization so all donations are tax-deductible. The St. Augustine Record accepts donations for the Empty Stocking Fund year-round.

Paris (ESA) Feb 10, 2017
A novel way of using ESA's CryoSat mission has revealed how lakes beneath Thwaites Glacier drained into the Amundsen Sea - potentially the largest such outflow ever reported in this region of West Antarctica. This new information is helping scientists understand more about what's going on deep below the surface of the ice and what affects how fast the glaciers flow towards the ocean.
Thwaites and its neighbouring Pine Island Glacier are the fastest-receding glaciers on the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet. Although this huge sheet is some 2 km thick in places, much of its floor is well below sea level. This makes it is particularly vulnerable to change, especially where the warmer ocean waters meet the underside of the floating terminus of the glacier.
Understanding the movements of these glaciers is critical for predicting how the ice sheet may behave in the future and how it may affect sea level.
A paper published this week in The Cryosphere explains how CryoSat measurements have been processed in a new way and reveal that, in 2013, four interlinked lakes under Thwaites drained into the ocean.
Lakes have been found under glaciers in many parts of Antarctica and are, indeed, commonly associated with fast-flowing glaciers. However, this is the first time they have been found and observed draining into the Amundsen Sea. In addition, this emptying is thought to happen only every 20-80 years.
Water below the ice sheet plays an important role in how quickly glaciers flow towards the sea, thought to be because a layer of meltwater reduces friction between the ice and the bedrock.
In addition, when channels form under the ice they lubricate the glacier bed.
Benjamin Smith from the University of Washington and lead author of the paper said, "This is first time we've been able to monitor both elevation changes and ice speed in this kind of detail over such a large area.
"Without a satellite like CryoSat, we would have probably have missed the lake draining and we would have had to guess how the lake drainage might have affected the ice speed.
"Together, they tell us about how water moving at the glacier bed affects ice speed, and what processes we need to understand so that we are better equipped to predict the future of Thwaites."
Noel Gourmelen from the University of Edinburgh explained, "Repeat observations from CryoSat over Thwaites revealed that the surface of the ice subsided by several metres as water drained away from the four lakes under the ice. The lakes totalled an area of about 700 sq km.
"On average, Thwaites carries about 135 cubic km of ice to the sea every year, but drainage from these lakes released an extra 3.5 cubic km of freshwater.
"In addition, the speed of the glacier increased by about 10% and would have contributed to a discharge of around 150 cubic km a year between 2013 and 2014."
Drainage is estimated to have peaked at about 240 cubic m a second, possibly the largest outflow of meltwater ever reported from subglacial lakes in this region. This peak rate is about four times faster than the River Thames in England discharges to the North Sea each year.
Before this discovery, scientists had thought that this part of the ice sheet did not store water in lakes beneath the surface for very long because abrupt drainage had not been seen before in the area.
Mark Drinkwater, head of ESA's Earth observation mission science, said, "Previous studies have investigated if CryoSat could be used for monitoring small vertical displacements associated with these events.
"The main issue has been the limited coverage of standard altimeter measurements. But thanks to new processing techniques, the capability of using CryoSat to both discover and monitor Antarctic subglacial lakes has vastly increased.
Tommaso Parrinello, ESA's CryoSat mission manager, added, "CryoSat again is proving what a versatile satellite it is. Now we also have the Copernicus Sentinel-1, with both providing powerful tools for developing further understanding of the relationship between lake drainage and ice dynamics in Antarctica."

CLARINO is a Norwegian infrastructure project jointly funded by the Research Council of Norway (under contract 208375) and by a consortium of Norwegian universities and research institutions. Its goal is to implement the Norwegian part of CLARIN. The ultimate aim is to make existing and future language resources easily accessible for researchers and to bring eScience to humanities disciplines.
The CLARIN vision is that any researcher will gain access through his local username to a vast body of language resources including e.g. speech recordings, literary and historic archives, linguistic corpora, etc. One will not only access a catalog of all language resources in Europe, but one will be able to search based on metadata, e.g. "Give me all recordings where female teenagers talk in a non-native language."

More flooding in northern England, including in York
Ater the recent flooding in the Lake district, northern England, and north Wales, has been hit again by heavy rainful, a little further south this time. Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Leeds, West Yorkshire and York city have been badly affected.

It's rained fairly continuously for eight weeks now. The final respite was ironically today which has been still and sunny.
Our large river catchment areas usually need a week to recover and we just are not getting enough dry days for the ground water to clear out.
The flooding has thankfully been very local and in most cases in villages which are very used to flooding issues.
The valley above Braithwaite in Cumbria received 13 inches of rain in 24 hours. In any language that's severe.
More storms forecast for Wednesday.
Time to book another holiday.

Dickie - we go to Cuba in a week's time, and see that co-incidentally, rain is forecast there, most unusually for the time of year, just as we arrive.
Although we have had rain, we've had nothing like what you've had "up north" and though there are some localised problems, so far we have escaped the worst.
Anyway, I advise picking your holiday destination very carefully if you wish to avoid rain. They had not had any in the area around Durban in SA for months, but guess what stopped play on the first day of the Test Match?
a thunderstorm no less.
Report Abuse
In the last three years, we have been to :
Perth WA
Turks and Caicos
Of those only Charleston gave us the weather we expected ; in that case beautiful clear days and chilly nights with no wind. We even had a predictable hurricane for October (Sandy) which was good fun and a bit like a trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Of the rest
Thailand : windy in the non windy season which resulted in anchoring at night being a nightmare
Stockholm : 33oC all week
Norway : no snow in February
Cadiz : 20oC in August not 40oC
Perth : 42oC just too hot
T & C : rain for a week, Scottish rain not Caribbean thunder showers
Just anecdotal but I see much cooler damper weather everywhere. This to me is global warming.
Twenty years ago I bought my first house - I had been sold the concept of global warming a believed it. None of the twenty houses I have owned have been plausibly liable to flood. My current two houses are 50 yards from the sea but on 50ft bluffs.
Many of the areas we rejected as possible places to live have since flooded.
Britain needs to rethink it's approach to settlement.
Have a lovely time in Cuba : it's my one few remaining "want to do" - I hope you've made it before the Yankee invasion ! Problem with getting old (47?!) is that time becomes more precious and you want to relive great trips rather than risk new areas. Smoke a cigar for me!
Ps try Charleston : you'd love it.

I'll retract my previous statement about "local" village flooding.
City centre York is under water.
Another storm is due soon.
This isn't good.
We pick our new puppy up tomorrow and so Machester/ Glasgow airports will be distant memories this next year!

be careful what you post, Dickie. I made a similar statement on the Caribbean board and picked up a troll for my pains- almost every time I post anything there I get a hail of abuse so I've more or less stopped going there.
We gather that it's going to be pretty busy, especially in Havana, but we 're hoping to explore less visited areas. I will certainly report back.
I too have seen the dreadful pictures of York and other places "up north" - the cost of the clean up is of course going greatly to exceed what it would have cost to build decent defences.

Some roads and trains still blocked around Leeds, Floods in Otley have now gone down, Addingham (a small village up the Wharfe river) has lost three pubs, another burnt down a few months back so now trying to struggle by on the last 2. Baildon (which is in Airdale but just over a hill from Otley) suffered badly over the last few days with some houses evacuated and food parcels distributed
The big debate in York will be about the Fosse being allowed to back flood to save a pumping station and its electrical connections, Cameron turned up this morning to say well done chaps.
A few people moaning about the government but in reality the issues seem to be
1) far too much rain
2) Performance measures on the DEFRA look a bit odd
Morgana's village is on a river and I used to drive through it on the way to work a lot, from memory it might have suffered badly, any news?

no, no news of Morgana so far - I hope that she isn't having to bale out.
it's still wet here but nothing like it is up north. I'm sure that Dave turning up will vastly improve morale!

Ann, at least he got out and about rather than leave it to the junior ministers who appear a little "bright but Tim" as we used to say.
I was remembering back 20 or so years when radio 4 first started to ask questions about climate change and the interviewee was asked who will feel this first and the answer was "islands" now I assumed he meant small islands, little did I know he meant Britain.
13" in 24 hours is a lot of rain, I've been on bike holiday in 6" of rain and had to give up by 11 am and checked into a hotel because I could not see my tyre in the water spray let alone the road. 13" must be frightening.

I agree, Bilbo - and unimaginable when it goes on day after day.
I've seen the visible effects of global warming in Venice - when we first went there over 30 years ago there was no mention of Aqua Alta, and the water was quite low in the canals. Now even when there are no high water warnings, the later laps over the steps at the bottom of the Rialto and in many other places.

Bless you, thanks for your concern. I'm fine thanks - I live a good mile away from the river Ure which has burst its banks but I'm on high ground. The fields nearby have turned into lakes as far as the eye can see.
The Ure has turned into a raging torrent and there's lots of standing water on the roads. A large % of people have 4x4s up here so we can get around ok. However the roads are very, very quiet.
Boxing Day saw the highest levels but today it is much better.
York often floods in parts, but not like it has this time! Leeds city centre around The Calls area has also been hit.
I think it is good that Cameron has come to York. By actually being there he can see the impact it has on people. I know it is 'his job' but he's also a dad with a young family and would probably have appreciated a few days off at Christmas. But he didn't send a minion, he came himself. Good for him!
Thanks for everyone's concern.

I looked up the final figure of The Lake District at the beginning of December. It was 13.6 inches in 24 hours, the really amazing figure is that equates 1400 tons of water per acre.

Well past three score years and ten here and I cannot remember the weather being this strange. Here in Glasgow we had an unusually wet spring, summer and autumn. One or two days dry, three or four days of rain. The pattern rarely changed. Only in the last few weeks of autumn did we get a dry period of a few weeks. Then the storms arrived, one after another and unusually violent too.
As so many have mentioned I also cannot remember it being so mild. No frost whatsover. Yesterday I saw a few gentlemen pass the front of the house wearign shorts and t-shirts. In late December? Bizarre.
The south-westerly winds hitting my windows so hard bothers me now when it never used to so I'm not looking foward to Wednesday/Thursday.

Without wanting to disrupt this thread, and with utmost commiserations to those so horridly affected by the last eight weeks of storms, and by today's forecast Storm Frank:
annhig: please do try to find a way of publishing your reactions to Cuba. We were there a few weeks ago, and were more astonished and fascinated by what we saw (and didn't see) than by anywhere else we've ever been - and we've been regular commuters to the Communist and ex-Communist world since the Wall came down.
It was a reasonably enjoyable couple of weeks: but Cuba's occasionally remarkable tourist pleasures are dwarfed by the gazillions of questions about what's really happened over the past 55 years, and what its 10 million people really think about it. And by the internet hysteria that seems to follow any attempt to view it objectively.
I'd love to hear your considered take. But enjoy it: and remember to take your own anti-diarrhoea stuff (rarely needed, but a nightmare to find locally) insect repellent (ditto) and power converters to both US and Continental power points
Morgana It's rare to encounter goodwill and graciousness towards Cameron - who got excoriated by the "let's bash the Tories" press (including Murdoch's organs, punishing him as usual for the crime of disregarding Rupert's trite and fatuous insights into how the world should be run) as he visited parts of his own constituency when floods briefly swamped us 7 years ago. Rarer still to hear someone suggest politicians might be allowed a personal life.
Well done. And I hope the next few days see you safe

As I've posted, Bill, it's been very mild here too, and shorts are very much de rigueur here even in December if its mild enough, but even I was surprised to see a chap who was otherwise quite conventionally dressed walking round Truro with nothing on his feet.
Flanner - I had no idea that you have recently been to Cuba, would love to hear about your experiences, where you went etc. and I have loads of Qs, particularly at the moment regarding how you got around, [we're thinking a combination of local taxis and Viazul for longer journeys] how much money to take and how, [we are thinking £ in cash, budgeting on £100/day] how to ensure we keep the said sum safe, the best place to change money particularly when we arrive and need money to pay the taxi-driver, whether there are ATMs, etc, etc, etc,
rather than divert this thread, could you kindly e-mail me?

Dredge the rivers.
Stop changing and diverting river courses.
Stop pumping concrete into the ground. Concrete doesn't abosrb water, it just diverts it elsewhere.
Most of the problems are contributed to by man, and with all the building planned or in progress it'll only get worse.
Big money for a few, but potentially big problems for many.

RM67 on Dec 28, 15 at 12:32pm They said Dave changed from his Hunter boots into some cheaper version so he would not seem posh. The pictures are really horrible. There was one inside a bar and the water was halfway up the windows. How it doesn't break the glass and come pouring in was unbelievable. We have horrible infrastructure due to poor planning here and get some very bad flooding in the states as well. Christmas day was very bad here in the southern states.
Report Abuse
The Yorvik centre is badly hit.
Dredging rivers just makes them faster. The Dutch know about that. A complete rethink, a total change in dealing with water is needed. More physical barriers just moves the problem down stream.
Trees need planting in the hills, ploughing needs to be done properly, flood plains need to be flood plains, rivers need meanders and less canalisation.
Here we are realising the risk of flooding by rivers and are working hard to break through some dikes, to designate agricultural land to be flooded, rivers are being made bendier, given extra channels and so on.
It all costs a lot of money, but everyone here pays Waterschapbelasting, waterboard tax which helps pay for it.
Report Abuse
A major political difference between NL and UK is that water management and water defense are de-politicized and that they have been devolved to regional water boards. these water boards operate independently from the governments and can raise their own taxes, while they are democratically governed by all constituents of a particular waterschap.
Additionally, Rijkswaterstaat, the government agency that takes on the big infrastructural work is highly depoliticized too, forming a state in a state. what it wants has precedence, always. In NL we know that flooding is a very real and ever present risk and we've formed institutions with deep roots (some water boards have existed since early medieval times) to deal with that risk.
Report Abuse
good points, Hets and menachem. We have the Environment Agency [or whatever they are calling it this week] which like all of these "Agencies" is supposedly independent of the Government and things called Water Agencies, but so far as i know, nothing like the over-arching bodies you describe.
Looks like we need a whole rethink of our approach to water management - and quickly.

It may be wet here but at least it is not Texas where 15 people died or Argentina where not only are the floods bringing in dirty water but nasty terrified snakes.

This Western Peterbilt location services the Volvo D11 engine.
It costs a lot less to run a D11 engine these days. With Volvo's new 2014 GHG-certified (Greenhouse Gas) D11 engine, you'll see a fuel efficiency increase of up to 2%. How did we do it?
- Compression ratio increase to 17.0:1 for increased efficiency.
- New piston, liner and oil scraper ring for reduced internal engine friction.
- New 7-hole injector optimizes fuel atomization.
- Clutched air compressor runs when it needs to reducing engine load. You demanded more value. Volvo's new 2014 D11 delivers.
The Volvo D11 is a fuel efficient, lightweight engine designed to improve reliability and minimize cost of operation.
Five power ratings are available in the range from 355 to 405 hp. The engine provides impressive performance with excellent low-end torque for improved drivability. The new variable geometry turbo also makes the engine very responsive while improving fuel economy.
A 385 Eco-torque rating provides a "dual-personality" torque level for the regional highway carrier to provide the performance of a 1450 lb-ft engine, when needed with, the fuel economy of a 1250 lb-ft torque engine.
The Volvo D11 is sold in VN Daycabs, VAH auto haulers and VHDs making it the perfect choice for regional operations.
The engine delivers competitive performance compared to larger displacement engines with an impressive 405 hp and 1,550 lbs.ft. of torque, and provides lighter solution for maximizing fuel economy in regional, less than truckload (LTL) and distribution situations.
At 1500 rpm the optional I-VEB puts out an impressive 270 braking hp, with 440 braking hp at 2200 rpm, dwarfing many bigger engines' brake performance. The I-VEB is controlled by a new brake stalk switch, allowing three engine-brake increments.
An oil drain interval of up to 45,000 miles helps to reduce operating costs. The Volvo D11 engine delivers a dependable, cost-effective solution — for a wide variety of short haul applications.

Fine, fine. Here's your damn Warrant video. You are *so* predictable.
Lemme' tell you something about these tiny cherry pies. There's no recipe to link to other than the same old reliable pie crust because I cheated.
Yahuh, I bought premade cherry pie filling. And, sweet cheeks, you would too if you were running this blog, a 365 blog (warning: fbomb), doing a weekly post and were prepping for a solo show based on a previous 365 blog.
I mean, you know I love you and all, but, damn.
I did get kinda' fancy with the crust though so that's something, right? I made a lattice on two of them. If you've never made a lattice before, here's a handy tip: you can use a pizza cutter to cut out your strips.
Also, the easiest way to think of assembling a lattice top is to think of it as weaving. (Remember the construction paper weaving from high school art class? Yeah, do that. Only, you know, with dough.)
I also made a "double crust" pie and one pie with a cut out. You can see all of them in this tri pie photo.
The cutout is a rabbit in case you're having trouble reading it. I've got this weird thing about making stuff that resembles rabbits. *ahem*.
Please don't ask me to explain. I can't.

The Montreal band Stars isn't waiting around for the buzz, the moment when all the good press and word of mouth turn them into the latest pop movement.
The moment may have already come. Their second album Heart has recently appeared on the influential New York record store Other Music's Web site, creating the kind of select exposure that last year helped to propel the similarly eighties-influenced, New York band Interpol into indie headliners.
Then the Toronto collective Broken Social Scene, which shares at least one member from Stars (often a number of them) and which won a Juno with its breakthrough LP You Forgot It in People, joined Stars on the site. It's been another small sign of a Toronto-Montreal movement gaining ever wider attention.
But it still hasn't entirely taken Stars from its bedroom beginnings. "When the buzz comes and the buzz goes, we'll still be in a bedroom making music," said band member Amy Millan, who says the music aims for anything that will make someone have sex or cry.
Stars' music fills the same heart-yearning gulf that New Order and the Smiths occupied 20 years ago, reflecting some of that era's fey moodiness with the band's jangling guitars, gentle synths and choruses about how "my office glows all night long/it's a nuclear show and the stars are gone."
But as with anything remotely channelling the 1980s, it's easy to overdo the comparisons. Stars rarely sticks to its New Order affinity and Montreal band the Dears often has the Smiths' sound better cornered. Stars' mix of prominent beats and knowing lyrics derive as much from contemporary bands like England's Saint Etienne, whose producer Ian Catt mixed three songs on the album. It's music that seems destined less for A-list attention getters, than for introspective, B-crowd cliques.
Indeed, the band is like a school clique that never separated. It formed in New York where Torquil Campbell, who was studying acting at Circle in the Square, appearing in stage productions and in brief spots on Law & Order and Sex and the City, started writing music with childhood friend Chris Seligman, who was playing French horn in Broadway pit orchestras. Both grew up in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood and knew each other since they were 8, playing in various bands over the years with other art-minded friends.
"It's just this loose connection of 20 or 30 people who have these interconnected lives and grew up at the same time in the same city and ended up all forming these permutations of what was essentially the same group," Campbell said.
As New York's garage-rock wave surged around them, they plugged into the scene a little, recording in a Williamsburg loft where some of their friends lived, including a member of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs before that band existed.
But like many who go to New York, they felt removed. "We were very aware that Williamsburg was a place that had a scene, but we felt totally alienated from it and not a part of it," Campbell said, with no hint of lament. The music coming out of New York "has a distinctly American style, and I love a lot of it. It's just that we weren't ever trying to make music like that."
With the addition of two musicians they knew from Toronto, Millan and Evan Cranley, they relocated to Montreal where they recorded Heart.
"When it seemed like we were going to make something of this band, it just made so much more sense to leave a place that was so expensive and so difficult to live in. It was hard to find time and feel able to record when you are struggling to live. So Montreal was a place that just made sense. It's so beautiful and so amenable to artists," Campbell said.
Yet the album was recorded in difficult times for the band, on the cusp of a larger record deal that never seemed to come. The album was made in Millan and Seligman's apartment in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, where the band kept their unusually accommodating artist neighbours up into the night. The singers had what they called a song sausage, a hanging duvet they wrapped around themselves to isolate their voices.
"Both with the Broken Social Scene record and our record, that summer, we had been hanging around together, and we were all going through really hard times," Millan said.
The band had broken from Detroit label Le Grand Magistery, partly due to Stars wanting to sign with a bigger label and move up the indie food chain. At least one major record company was interested but saw the band as too indie, while indie labels saw them as too mainstream. Then nascent Paper Bag Records in Toronto gave them a convenient break, having just released Broken Social Scene's breakthrough second album to wide praise.
"It's just really great music Canadians are putting out on the indie scene," said Paper Bag's label manager Trevor Larocque. "We've all seen it on a higher level with the Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan. These are the people who get all the attention, and it's very rare that indie bands can break through that barrier. And I think with Broken Social Scene, that's totally happened, and it's only going to open the door for the rest of these bands."
But Broken Social Scene, which has even more of an eclectic sound associated with the Toronto-Montreal wave of bands including the Dears and Metric, has already left Paper Bag for the EMI-distributed Arts & Crafts label. Stars has a five-year licensing deal with Paper Bag to release Heart in Canada through indie distributor Outside Music, although the group is also branching out abroad, signing with Arts & Crafts for the album's release in the U.S. and Setanta in England.
The upside of this indie musical chairs is that Setanta recently released Heart to critical acclaim in Britain, with the Daily Mirror describing the album as "a boon for lovers of musical Valentines." It has only helped to spark the latest wave of interest back home.
"It's like 'Oh wow, they're on Setanta, and they've got this Paper Bag thing, and they're on Massive in Japan.' People are starting to care more," said Larocque at Paper Bag. When Heart was first released in Canada in February, "the interest was there, but not as much as there is now."
And so the buzz builds. But for Stars and other bands in their Toronto-Montreal set, buzz doesn't always pay the bills.
"What's happening in Canada is that it's actually one of the most exciting places in the world, if not the most exciting place for pop music right now," he said. "But I'm not sure that the people in the positions of power are fully exploiting that or fully taking it where it could go."
The music industry "needs to wake up and see that these bands -- Broken Social Scene, Stars, the Dears -- will be making records for 20 years. We can give them a back catalogue that the winners of Canadian Idol will not be capable of giving them."
Stars appear with Broken Social Scene tonight at Lee's Palace in Toronto.

Imaging Technique Could Diagnose Sports-related Brain Disorders

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscope could replace autopsies, which is the only way to diagnose chronic traumatic encephalopathy
Researchers at the Center for Clinical Spectroscopy at
Brigham and Women's Hospital
in Boston have discovered that an imaging technique may quickly diagnose chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Alexander P. Lin, Ph.D., study leader from the Center for Clinical Spectroscopy at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, along with his team of researchers, have found that a new
imaging technique
could help diagnose CTE, which is a degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive head trauma. CTE can cause depression, difficulty with memory, impulsive/erratic behavior, and dementia. Those who suffer from it can experience long-term disability and permanent brain damage.
Currently, CTE can only be diagnosed via autopsy. Each year, approximately 3.8 million sports-related concussions occur in the United States, and several other cases of subclinical concussions - injuries that act like concussions but cannot be diagnosed - are "unrecognized." This information, which was provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, builds a valid argument for the need for a new method of CTE diagnosis.
"The devastating effects of brain injuries suffered by pro football players who repeatedly suffered concussions and subconcussive
brain trauma
during their careers have put the spotlight on CTE," said Lin. "However, blows to the head suffered by all athletes involved in contact sports are of increasing concern."
But now, Lin and his team have used an imaging technique called magnetic resonance spectroscope (MRS) to examine five professional male athletes who are now retired. These athletes participated in football, wrestling and boxing, and were also suspected of having CTE. In addition, five other control patients that matched the age (32-55) and size of the athletes were examined with MRS as well.
MRS utilizes a strong
magnetic field
and radio waves to acquire information from within the body using a MR scanner. MRS is also known as a "virtual biopsy."
Lin and his team found that the former athletes had higher levels of choline, which is a water-soluble essential nutrient that indicates the presence of damaged tissue, than the control patients. The athletes also had higher levels of gamma-aminobutyric (GABA), glutamate and asparate than the control patients. GABA and glutamate are involved in normal brain processes, but too much or too little can cause a problem.
"Being able to diagnose CTE could help athletes of all ages and levels, as well as war veterans who suffer mild brain injuries, many of which go undetected," said Lin.
This study
was presented at the annual meeting of the
Radiological Society of North America
"You can bet that Sony built a long-term business plan about being successful in Japan and that business plan is crumbling." -- Peter Moore, 24 hours before his Microsoft resignation

Tufts Gordon Institute's M.S. in Innovation & Management
The Tufts M.S. in Innovation & Management (MSIM) is an intensive, one-year professional master's program that prepares you to hit the ground running—rather than waiting to gain important business and leadership skills through an MBA or similar degree later in your career. From day one of your program, you'll be immersed in the real-world mindset of multidisciplinary teams working together to solve real-world problems.
"Undergraduates majoring in engineering, science, and other technology related disciplines represent some of the most promising young professionals. Our new master's program is designed to augment their deep technical knowledge with critical business skills such as marketing, finance, and product strategy as well as an understanding of essential leadership competencies including conflict resolution and building teams," says Mark Ranalli, associate dean and director Tufts University's Gordon Institute.

Mets owner Fred Wilpon wants to select a minority-share partner by the end of this month, two people with knowledge of the talks said Friday.
There is a sense of urgency about the timetable because the team has mounting financial obligations due to the startup of its players' payroll and a loan coming due from Major League Baseball.
The Mets took out a $25-million loan from Major League Baseball last November because the team had used up its $75-million line of credit.
Forbes magazine has reported the Mets have $450 million in debt.
Money from the partial sale to a new stakeholder -- estimated at $200 million -- will be earmarked to finance the team's day-to-day operations and to pay down debt, said a person familiar with the sale discussions.
The Mets also must now begin paying salaries to players, who are not paid during the off-season or spring training. The Mets have a 2011 payroll in the vicinity of $140 million, which averages to around $11.6 million doled out every two weeks.
Several minority ownership candidates have met with Wilpon and will do so again, said a person close to the discussions. After the winning bidder is selected, Major League Baseball will conduct a full vetting process, delaying the transaction another four to six weeks. The interested parties have been given access to the Mets' financial records.
The Mets said in January that Wilpon and his partner, Saul Katz, would sell as much as 25 percent of the team to deal with a lawsuit brought by the Bernard Madoff bankruptcy trustee that could reach $1 billion.
The trustee, Irving Picard, alleges the Mets ignored "red flags" that should have tipped them off about Madoff's illegal activity. Wilpon and Katz insist there were no such signs and filed a motion on March 20 asking the judge to dismiss the complaint due to "false allegations" and "false claims."
The team's value was recently downgraded to $747 million by Forbes. But one person involved in the sale talks said, "The marketplace will determine what a fully vetted deal with multiple sophisticated buyers values the team at. It doesn't matter what Forbes says. It's what these eight or so bidders think the value is."
The Wilpons have said they want to maintain majority control. With Jim Baumbach

[Whether Confidence belongs to Magnanimity?]
Confidence takes its name from "fides" [faith]: and it belongs to faith to believe something and in somebody. But confidence belongs to hope, according to Job 11:18, "Thou shalt have confidence, hope being set before thee." Wherefore confidence apparently denotes chiefly that a man derives hope through believing the word of one who promises to help him. Since, however, faith signifies also a strong opinion, and since one may come to have a strong opinion about something, not only on account of another's statement, but also on account of something we observe in another, it follows that confidence may denote the hope of having something, which hope we conceive through observing something either in oneself--for instance, through observing that he is healthy, a man is confident that he will live long. or in another, for instance, through observing that another is friendly to him and powerful, a man is confident that he will receive help from him. Now it has been stated above (1, ad 2) that magnanimity, which by its very name denotes stretching forth of the mind to great things, is chiefly about the hope of something difficult. Wherefore, since confidence denotes a certain strength of hope arising from some observation which gives one a strong opinion that one will obtain a certain good, it follows that confidence belongs to magnanimity.

Sometimes, a very special fabric collection sometimes deserves very special shapes! We've created a pair of dimensional pillows in Neptune and the Mermaid. One is a brand new triangle pillow with pretty patchwork on one side and a custom octopus appliqué on the other side. Its pillow pal, completing the ocean theme, is our classic Starfish pillow. Make one or make them both. The brilliant colors and interesting shapes would be perfect as beach cabin décor or as toss pillows in a sunroom or covered patio.
Beach Duffle Backpack: TokyoMilk presents Neptune and the Mermaid by Margot Elena for Coats
It's a duffle and a backpack in one! The drawcord top looks great and makes it fast and easy to load and unload the bag's contents. Then, slip it on as a backpack for hands-free strolling to the beach (or river or park or....) and back again. We love all the clever fussy cutting we were able to do with our three Neptune and the Mermaid fabrics. Front and center is the vintage diver plunging into the ocean waves of the pocket panel. A bit more hidden, but nonetheless clever, are lining panels with their hints of a sly octopus. Margot Elena's collection is so boldly brilliant and filled with such cunning motifs, you can tell your own little story within each and even project. In our seaside tale, Larry the lifeguard and his team of daring diving companions are racing to rescue sweet Sally who's spilled her seashells by the seashore.
Elegant Fantail Kimono & Matching Obi Belt: TokyoMilk presents Neptune and the Mermaid by Margot Elena for Coats
Welcome to our wonderfully, watery world of mermaids, octopi, vintage bathing beauties, fantail goldfish, and more! We are celebrating a week of Neptune and the Mermaid by Margot Elena for Coats. Margot is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Margot Elena Companies & Collections. She is the design and marketing mind behind several cult-classic, niche beauty brands, including TokyoMilk. To her long list of accomplishments, she now adds: Fabric Designer. We were thrilled when Coats approached us about doing a series with this dynamic new collection. It starts today with our Elegant Fantail Kimono and Matching Obi Belt, incorporating three of the beautiful designs: Lost Atlantis, Age of Aquarius, and Anthemoessa. Just the names conjure up an enchanted ocean adventure.
Shirring: Learn It, Then Make a Top or a Dress – All in a Single Afternoon
It's shirr magic! Elastic shirring creates a wonderful stretchy texture and is the perfect warm weather technique. It occupies the space between the simplicity of gathering and the intricacy of hand-smocking. We've gathered together links to our full step-by-step tutorial plus three shirring projects: a flirty little top plus a full length sundress for both big and little girls. We think you'll find it fun to learn and easy to do.
Easy Box Pleat Pillows
The box pleat is one of the easiest pleating techniques to master. We've used the inverted version to create a pair of simple yet stunning pillows. Use a single pleat or a double pleat; we give you all the measurements needed for either version. Or as we did, make both as the perfect decorator pair. When choosing your fabric for the inside of the pleat, look for a sharp contrast in order to make allow this detail to best stand out. We recommend a darker coordinating color. And, if making the pillow pair, it's a nice idea to match the interior fabric to pull together the two pillows. We used a rich chocolate brown for the inner accent on ours.
Hanging Sewing Caddy with Clear-View Vinyl Pockets
"Where did I put my ....?" Sewing projects are full of little bits and pieces, including numerous notions whose jobs are to make construction easier, but only if you can find them when you need them! Corral important items with our clever clear-view caddy. We used our Janome Skyline S7 for the construction as well as the pretty decorative stitching. It was a real pro when it came to handling the multiple layers and the variety of substrates; it sewed through it all with flying colors
10-Pocket Purse Organizer: Get the Pro Look with Dritz Hardware
This wonderful little caddy came about thanks to your requests on our You Asked 4 It list! Many of you had suggested we design a purse organizer. What are these brilliant little carriers? By loading up all your essentials into one multi-pocket pouch, all you need to do when you change bags is to switch the organizer from one to the other. It also makes it much easier to find those essentials – no more digging around at the bottom of your purse to locate your headphones! To give our custom organizer the very best form and function, we incorporated 10 Dritz® hardware products and tools. We're often asked how we get such a professional look to all our samples. After thanking the person effusively for such a nice compliment, our reply always starts with one fundamental rule: use the right products and tools for the job. When you use products and tools that have been designed for a specific purpose, the installation is easier and the result is superior.
Soft & Stuffable Fabric Shopping Bags: Shop Pretty
As more and more stores up their recycling commitment (some entire cities have banned plastic bags), it's becoming pretty common to have to bring your own shopping bags. Fabric bags are the go-to alternative and widely available, particularly the heavier, structured bags. Lightweight, flexible bags that would best replace plastic can be harder to come by. Luckily, you're a clever sewing person and can make your own... with a little help from your friends at Sew4Home.
Lightweight Infinity Scarf
My mother was a very snappy dresser in her prime, and the number one piece of advice she passed along to me was that you could never go wrong accessorizing your outfit with a beautiful scarf. A perennially popular look is the infinity scarf, an endless circle of loveliness you can twist into a number of interesting shapes. It's a great look to dress up or down to suit any outfit or occasion. Best of all... an infinity scarf is very easy to make. And we do mean veeerrryyy easy! We made our sample scarf in under an hour... and that included stopping to take photos! This project just might become your favorite fast and easy (yet unique and elegant) gift.
Structured & Divided Fabric Basket
Divide and conquer! When it comes to organizing your stuff, it's one of the best ways to tackle the mess and contain the chaos. We created one of our famous fabric baskets, then added some extras we've never offered before in one storage solution: both inner and outer pockets, double carry handles, and a removable center divider. It's a great caddy for the car, as we've shown in several of our photos, or customize it for any room in the house.

10 People Skills You Must Master
No man is an island by himself. On a daily basis you meet a lot of people. Even if you do not talk to every one of them, there is some contact with people. Be it at work or in your personal life, you need to improve your social skills to be able to interact well with people ad enrich both your life and their lives. Mastering people skills does not mean that you have to make life altering changes. You just have to make a few changes and have the will to change and be a better person people can relate to. Here are some people skills you must master.
1. Communication-Be communicative and communicable.
You should not only be able to communicate well with others and make them understand what you are trying to express but you should also be communicable, if it is an infectious way, all the more better.
2. Empathy-Learn to show empathy
You need to know when and where to show empathy. Empathy is a people and social skill that everyone must master if they do not want to come across as the ice queen or a cold person.
3. Generosity-Be generous
Being generous means not being generous with your things alone, but you can be generous with your time, advice and experiences. Share with people your life and the experiences you have had. Sometimes a bit of your time is all what people would like from you.
4. Physical Gestures-Be physical when you must
Sometimes a physical tough or gesture can open a lot of doors and get you across to people like never before. A pat on the back for your employee, a handshake instead of a curt nod and a hug when showing love or empathy are harmless physical gestures you should and can master easily.
5. Listening-Be an active listener
Do not listen to hear, but listen to talk. People can always tell if you are really listening or if you are just faking it. Listen so that they are comfortable knowing that they have a captive audience.

Abstract Collapse
1. The Roundup-ReadyTM Genes
Two genes were introduced, which in combination provided field level tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup® herbicide.
The first gene expresses a bacterial derived version from Agrobacteium tumefaciens strain CP4, of the plant 5-enol-pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), an enzyme involved in the shikimate biochemical pathway for the production of the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan. Glyphosate inhibits the native plant EPSPS, thus blocking the shikimate pathway and halting the synthesis of these amino acids and leading to growth suppression or death of the plant. The CP4 EPSPS enzyme is highly insensitive to glyphosate and thus allows the aromatic amino acid needs of the plant.
The second gene is derived from Achromobacter sp., a ubiquitous soil bacteria species which expresses an enzyme that degrades glyphosate by conversion to aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) and glyoxylate, thereby deactivating the herbicidal effect. The coding sequence of this gene has been altered to enhance the efficiency of glyphosate degradation, compared to the original bacterial version.
A plant-derived coding sequence expressing a chloroplast transit peptide was co- introduced with each of the Roundup-ReadyTM genes. This peptide facilitates the import of the newly translated Roundup-ReadyTM enzymes into the chloroplasts, the site of both the shikimate pathway and the site of action for glyphosate.
Both genes associated with their transit peptide coding sequence, are linked to the same constitutive promoter. Expression of both Roundup-ReadyTM proteins in seed was quantified.
The range of expression of both proteins in the seed was comparable to those of B. napus GT73. The average expression levels (in µg/mg f.w.) of the first protein ranged from 0.032 to 0.053 for ZSR500; from 0.014 to 0.053 for ZSR502; and from 0.025 to 0.043 for ZSR503. The average expression levels (in µg/mg f.w) of the second protein ranged from 0.064 to 0.124 for ZSR500; from 0.056 to 0.148 for ZSR502 and; from 0.061 to 0.135 for ZSR503.
The Roundup-ReadyTM proteins showed no significant homology with any known toxins or allergens. The novel enzyme associated with the shikimate pathway, is a version of an enzyme that is ubiquitous in nature, and therefore would not be expected to be toxic or allergenic to non-target organisms. For the second novel enzyme, which degrades glyphosate, Monsanto describes experiments with a variety of substrates that show that it has a narrow substrate specificity, and appears not to affect any plant specific pathways. Both proteins are inactivated by heat, and by proteases in simulated mammalian gastric and intestinal fluids.
2. Development Method
The Brassica napus line GT73 was developed by transforming the variety "Westar" using a disarmed non-pathogenic Agrobacterium tumefaciens vector; the vector contained the transfer DNA (T-DNA) region of an A. tumefaciens plasmid from which virulence and disease causing genes were removed, and replaced with the Roundup-ReadyTM genes. The T-DNA portion of A. tumefaciens plasmids are generally known to insert randomly into the plant's genome and the insertion is usually stable, as was shown to be the case in GT73.
GT73 was then crossed with Hysyn Polish canola varieties. The mid-season B. rapa canola lines ZSR500, ZSR502 and ZSR503 were derived from four parental populations. Since populations were combined for their development, these lines are referred to as synthetic lines.
3. Stable Integration into the Plants' Genomes
Monsanto provided information on segregation and Southern blot analysis demonstrating that GT73 had a stable single genetic insert, consisting of single copies of the Roundup-ReadyTM genes (please see decision document DD95-02).
Since Monsanto was able to cross GT73 with B. rapa and transfer the herbicide tolerance successfully, it is suggested that the genetic insert was located in the B. rapa portion (genome A) of the amphidiploid B. rapa/B. oleracea genome of B. napus.
