CHARLOTTE (AP) � Cam Newton and the Panthers continue to play their best football down the stretch.
The second-year quarterback threw for 171 yards and a touchdown and ran for 60 yards and another score, and the Carolina Panthers held off the Oakland Raiders 17-6 on Sunday.
The Panthers (6-9) limited the Raiders to 189 total yards and 12 first downs in a game featuring several shoving matches, plenty of heated exchanges and six unnecessary roughness penalties � including one that sidelined Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer for the day.
Even Newton drew a flag after bumping an official with his chest for what he perceived as the latest in a series of late hits by Raiders defenders. Newton was not ejected.
Newton and the Panthers built a 14-3 lead at halftime and let linebacker Luke Kuechly and defensive end Greg Hardy do the rest.
Oakland's offense was essentially rendered useless after Hardy delivered a blow to Palmer's back late in the first quarter. Matt Leinart managed only 115 yards passing in three-plus quarters.
Newton accounted for 231 of the 271 yards for the Panthers, who have now won four of their last five games under embattled coach Ron Rivera. It's unclear if that will be enough to save his job.
Rivera is 12-19 in two years as Carolina's coach.
Oakland (4-11), losers of seven of eight, was held to 47 yards rushing on 22 carries. The longest play was a 22-yard reception by third-string quarterback Terrelle Pryor on a trick play.
The Panthers had been starting games fast of late, scoring on their first possession in each of their previous four games.
They appeared to make it five straight when DeAngelo Williams scampered 76 yards around left end for an apparent 76-yard touchdown run. But a holding call on receiver Steve Smith nullified the play and the drive stalled.
Smith made up for it on the next drive.
After a 29-yard scramble by Newton for a key first down, the second-year quarterback was flushed out of the pocket and lofted a 23-yard touchdown pass to Smith. The veteran receiver broke off his route and headed up the field after seeing Newton pressured from the pocket.
Palmer left the game late in the first quarter with a back injury.
After being flushed from the pocket, Palmer set up to throw when Hardy came barreling into him from behind and delivered a vicious blow to the middle of his back. Hardy was flagged for unnecessary roughness and the Raiders received an automatic first down, but lost Palmer for the game.
Palmer threw some on the sideline in the third quarter, but did not return.
Hardy's hit on Palmer was the first in a flurry of penalties by both sides for late hits on receivers and quarterbacks.
From there, Carolina seized the momentum.
After a 21-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski, Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly intercepted a Leinart pass and returned it 25 yards to the Oakland 29. Four plays later Newton scored on a 3-yard touchdown to give Carolina a 14-3 lead just before halftime.
The pushing, shoving and taunting continued into the third quarter. The quarter ended when Newton's NFL-long streak of 176 passes without an interception was snapped when Miles Burris picked him off deep in Carolina territory setting the Raiders up at the Panther 19.
It appeared the Raiders would cut the lead to four, but a 4-yard scoring run by Darren McFadden was called back because of a holding penalty, and they settled for a short field goal by Janikowski.
Down by eight, the Raiders tried to mount one last drive, but it stalled when Hardy tipped a Leinart screen pass on fourth-and-4 at the Carolina 24 with five minutes left in the game.
The Panthers put the game away on a 51-yard field goal by Graham Gano with 2:46 left in the game.

Creative Ways of Doing Real Estate Marketing in Ortega Farms
Your brokerage may offer opportunities for this from time to time, or you can Google "headshots near me" and take a look at local photographers' galleries to see who has a style you like best. A recent study from the National Association of Realtors revealed that 92% of buyers use the Internet to house hunt. However, since its rock bottom in 2012 (with 999,000 members), it has been steadily increasing, and with nearly 1,100,000 members in 2014, the competition among realtors is heating up. Unless you're an agent, investor or owner with a large platform online, getting in front of the right audience takes time. 75 percent of a real estate agent's business in Duval County 32210 comes referrals and word of mouth. When a crowded network like Facebook needs to reduce the organic reach of your posts to ensure a positive user experience, businesses are the first to feel the reduction. An effective Real Estate presence is one that works and looks great on any platform.

Mental health support charity Amber Trust has opened their doors to residents of Ripley for the first time in 10 years, as it opened a brand new community facility.
'The Hub @ Amber Trust' is a multi-purpose room and office space that is available for hire. The room has been converted from a previously disused warehouse at the rear of their new main office building in Wellington Street.
It was officially opened in front of 100 people by the Ripley Mayor Alwyn Bridge who heaped praise on the new hub.
He said: "This is a good facility for the area. Good luck to Amber Trust, I hope you are still here in another 30 years".
Amber Trust involvement manager Tracy Litchfield said: "We hope that The Hub @ Amber Trust is used every day of the week, either by Amber Trust and the people we work with or by other groups and organisations.
"We held our first book evening on World Book Night and we are arranging for some of the support we give to people to be delivered in group activities and learning which will enable us to continue to help as many people as possible.
"It's a lovely venue. I hope people will contact me to arrange to come and look and see if it can meet people's needs".
The registered charity has provided support to people across Derbyshire, who experience mental health difficulties, for over 30 years. Until earlier this year the trust was based in offices in East Mill in Belper, but hasnopwmoved to Ripley.
The trust began life as a support group in Ripley in the late 1970s and over time went from strength to strength to become the professional organisation it is today.
Funding for their services largely comes from Derbyshire County Council Adult Care, which is a concern at present as the council looks to cut more than £150 million due to funding cuts.
Amber Trust provides housing-related support for people living in their own homes or in accommodation units provided by the trus. It deals with more than 200 people each week in Amber Valley, Derbyshire Dales and the High Peak.
Every client has their own support worker and an individual support plan. They help with practical things including making sure people keep up with their utility bills to helping them look at what they want from life and how to get there.
The trust also helps people to be a good neighbour, access health, faith and leisure facilities, access education, work and training, maintain contact with family and friends and make a positive contribution to their community.
Chief executive Kathy Kozlowski said: "Amber Trust has been a part of Amber Valley for over 30 years and the day was a celebration of all we have achieved in the community and a way of us finding out how we can continue to support people in future. It is a privilege to see people recover from their problems and illnesses and achieve healthy and good lives and for our staff and volunteers 'going the extra mile' is an everyday occurrence."

Summertime was made for cold soups. (Or is it the other way around?) Whatever, the case, I'm a sucker for a cold cup of soup on a hot summer day.
Chilled soups are simple, refreshing, and they require little or no cooking whatsoever. In the past, I've always made chilled vegetable soups: garden gazpacho, cucumber yogurt soup, beet soup with cilantro creme.
However, this was my first attempt at a chilled fruit soup. It's light and refreshing, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The Greek yogurt gives the soup a creamy texture, but it's the addition of fresh ginger and mint that makes this soup something special. It's really quite lovely.
I would like to stress that this is not a dessert soup. It just isn't all that sweet. I made this soup for a friend's bachelorette party, and served it in small teacups as an appetizer. However, I think the soup could also be a great brunch dish. Heck, I'd eat a big bowl of this soup for dinner. (Truth be told, I would eat it anytime of the day. All day. Every day.)
All of that to say, this is summertime in a cup. Get some!
- 1 ripe cantaloupe
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cream
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon minced or grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 small sprig of fresh mint
- Pinch of salt
- Peel & slice the cantaloupe into large chunks.
- Place the cantaloupe pieces, yogurt, lemon juice, honey, ginger, and salt into a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth & creamy. Taste, and adjust seasonings as needed. Add in a few mint leaves and pulse a few times, until mint is chopped and incorporated into the mix.
- Pour mixture into an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. Prior to serving, stir in the cream. Ladle into cups or small bowls and garnish with a mint leaf.

Tips for Framing a Rectangular Quilt with a Border Print
One of the most important considerations when using a border print to frame a quilt is to have the corners match. You will find it quite easy to get a perfect fit and match the corners by following these steps.
1. Place a strip of fabric across the middle of the quilt, centering a mirror imaged motif from the border at the exact center (Diagram I). Measuring across the middle as opposed to the edge is more accurate, and will keep the quilt from "ruffling" at the edges.
Diagram I
2. Use a right angle triangle to mark the miter along one of the ends, making sure to leave enough fabric for a 1/4″ seam allowance.
3. Carefully pick up the mitered end of the border strip and bring it over to the other edge of the quilt, making sure that the design matches. (If you have centered a motif from the border print in the middle of the quilt, the designs should match at both edges.) Cut the second miter.
4. Use this first mitered piece as a guide to cut one more identical piece. Take care to make sure that the design on the border print is exactly the same as on the first piece.
5. The pieces for the other two sides of the quilt must be cut differently. In order for the corners on all pieces to match, there must be a seam in these pieces where they fall at the middle of the sides of the quilt (Diagram II).
Diagram II
6. Place one of the previously cut strips on top of a length of the border print strip, matching the design. Cut a miter at one end to match the miter on the cut strip.
7. Place the newly cut strip lengthwise through the center of the quilt, with the mitered end at the edge of the quilt. Bring this strip to the exact center of the quilt and cut it off 1/4″ beyond the center.
8. Using this cut strip as a guide, cut one more piece identical to it and two strips that are the exact mirror images of the first piece.
9. Sew the seams at the middle of the two mirror imaged strips and attach these borders to the quilt. Sewing the borders to a rectangular quilt in this manner assures that the corners will match. There will be a seam at the center of the strips on the two sides, but the design at the center will mirror image, making the seam nearly invisible. 10. Sew the top and bottom borders onto the quilt, matching the design as you stitch the corners.

If you're an American, Burger King offers you The Subservient Chicken: Some dude in a chicken outfit who does what you say. If you're British, BK offers you The Subservient Shower Girl. Her turn-ons: Voyeurs, and guys with Whopper bellies.
This is BK's new promotion in the UK: Some girl who gets in the shower in a bikini every morning and sings a song, live on webcam. Sez Ad Age:
A Burger King spokesman explained the blatantly male bias of the campaign. He said, "Our research showed that breakfast is a male-centric audience for Burger King; it doesn't resonate as well with women — we are targeting the people who are buying breakfast."
Burger King is clearly sexist unless they extend the same courtesy to Ladies Who Lunch, with a Penis Cam.
[We asked the Subservient Chicken for a comment and he just shrugged. You never used sex to advance your career, Subservient Chicken! You can be proud of that.]

A married couple have moved to Vanuatu after leaving behind a string of collapsed businesses which owe nearly $2.5 million to the New Zealand taxman.
Ross Harold Fitches and Christine Angela Fitches have been banned from running businesses in New Zealand after five companies they were directors of went into liquidation.
One example of poor management was the withdrawal of $200,000 from a company account treated as a "personal cashbox", says the prohibition report.
The five businesses run by the Fitches, which included a motel and a bowling alley, also owed $2.5 million in unpaid taxes.
The Taupo couple were among 27 people banned last year from running a company, according to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
Someone can be banned as a director for up to five years if two or more firms they run are put into liquidation.
To avoid being struck off, a director has to prove his or her alleged mismanagement was not to blame for the insolvency.
Mr Fitches was banned for four years and nine months after five companies went into liquidation. Mrs Fitches, a director of two of those companies, was banned for four years and three months.
Documents released to the Herald under the Official Information Act reveal the couple, who are also bankrupts, left New Zealand before they were banned.
The last point of contact they gave the former Ministry of Economic Development was a postal address in Port Vila, Vanuatu.
The couple said the global financial crisis was to blame for the insolvency of Lakeland Enterprises, Revenire, Rochis, Twin Peaks Enterprises and Wyndham Street Properties.
But the mismanagement by Mr and Mrs Fitches was "serious and fundamental", according to the report of Peter Barker, deputy registrar of companies.
This included their failure to:
* Understand their obligations to preferred creditors such as Inland Revenue.
* Maintain sufficient financial records.
* Understand legal obligations for each company.
* Act in the best interests of the company.
In respect of Rochis, Mr Barker said that the liquidators had discovered that the current account was overdrawn by $206,042.
"I consider that directors using creditors' money for their own purposes is mismanagement and is not in the best interests of the company.
"I consider that there may be other directors who choose not to recognise that each company is separate from the other and that a company is separate from its directors and shareholders.
"Such people have a propensity to treat each company as their personal cashbox, as occurred with Rochis."
Mr Barker said Rochis owed $2.2 million to the IRD and Lakeland Enterprises a further $275,000.
He said he would ban the Fitches as directors to protect the public.
"My original view was that if I had the ability to impose a period greater than five years, I would have done so."

PORTLAND — Even as city councilors on the Transportation, Sustainability and Energy Committee refrained from making recommendations last week about how to respond to complaints about overcrowding by specially licensed airport taxi cabs, another, broader question arose.
Does the city just have too many taxis?
Some drivers and councilors believe it does.
Portland's population itself is not large enough to support the taxi industry's size, said some at the July 18 committee meeting. "We have far too many cabs in Portland for the number of people being served," Councilor Cheryl Leeman said.
There are 176 licensed cabs and 308 licensed drivers in Portland, for a population of 65,000 residents.
Taxi driver Charles Bragdon argued that the industry standard should hover around one cab per 1,000 people. In Portland, the statistics break down to roughly one taxi for every 369 residents. In New York City, there is one taxi for every 630 people; in Washington, D.C., which is considered bloated with cabs, there is one for every 75 people.
And in Bloomington, Ill., a college town of roughly 74,000 people that also serves as a twin city with neighboring Normal, there are three full-time taxi companies, with 29 vehicles between them. Independent vehicles for hire there are allowed to operate just three days a week, mostly to help clear out the downtown district bars.
Randall Chasse, the owner of Scarborough-based City Cab, complained at the meeting that a glut of cabs in the Portland market has made it difficult for anyone involved to make a reasonable income.
On its own, the Portland International Jetport has a clear over-abundance of cabs, manager Paul Bradbury said. In 2010, the airport instituted a cap on the number of non-reserved taxi licenses it would hand out to drivers who want to queue up at the airport, waiting for fares without being called specifically.
The goal was to reduce through attrition the number of taxis licensed to operate at the airport from 51 to 40, although any taxi may pick up or drop off if reserved by a customer. Two years later, there are still 49 taxis with non-reserved taxi licenses, in part because many of the drivers have transferred their licenses, which must be renewed annually but have no expiration dates, via power of attorney arrangements.
Attempts last year to stop the power of attorney transfers met with protest and a lawsuit from the airport cab drivers, who are all immigrants, mostly from Somalia. At the committee meeting last week, the council chambers were full of taxi drivers, many of whom work from the airport and oppose measures to change the system that they fear could result in the loss of their non-reserved taxi licenses, and their livelihoods.
But on Friday in the holding lot where airport drivers wait their turn, one flashed the thin stack of dollar bills he had made that day. He had started driving at 8 a.m.; by 2:30 p.m. he had collected about $20 from three fares.
Another said he thought the city should regulate the overall number of cabs.
Portland is unusual for not regulating the number of taxi licenses available, said Alfred LaGasse, chief executive of the Taxicab, Limousine and Paratransit Association, a national trade organization that supports fleet-owning transit companies. The "vast majority" of cities with more than 10 cabs regulate the number allowed in some way, he said.
The city considered a taxi board in 2010, but failed to find willing members, Councilor Kevin Donoghue said.
Donoghue agreed that both the airport and the overall taxi markets are over-saturated. "The general taxi market is a classic tragedy of the commons example" he said, thanks to the relatively low-barrier entry into the industry.
"I don't have a clear policy solution to it other than I recognize that a flooded market hurts people's ability to make a living," Donoghue said.
Donoghue pointed out that some local cab companies are quite successful, even growing.
Those include 207 Taxi, which started operating with three cabs last December. This week, its seventh car hit the road, owner Garrin Brady said Monday.
"We're barely able to keep up with the amount of work," he said. The key to his success, he said, has been offering superior service. "Business 101," Brady said.
The argument that some drivers made at the transportation committee meeting, that 176 cabs for just 65,000 people is too many, is flawed, Brady said, because Portland's cabs actually service a much broader coverage area that extends to neighboring communities that together are home to hundreds of thousands of people.
Brady does not support increasing city-wide regulation of the quantity of available taxi licenses.
"I don't think limiting the amount of cabs would be solving anything," he said. More beneficial, he said, would be enforcing the rules the city does have in place, like no smoking in cabs.
Brady and city officials recognized the challenge in enforcing those rules, since in order for the city to investigate complaints they must be made formally and can't be anonymous.
Suspending a single driver's license for an infraction would send a clear message to the rest, Brady said. The number of cabs might not shrink, but the quality of service would rise, he said.
"It will improve the industry," he said.
Sidebar Elements
Taxis wait in a holding lot at the Portland International Jetport for their chance to queue outside the terminal. Renewed debate over the number taxis working the airport has spurred debate about whether the the city should limit the number of cabs across the city.

Today is a special day! The latest issue of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks is officially on sale!
You can purchase your very own print copy here or for those who can't wait for it to be delivered, you can purchase a digital PDF version here!
We hope you had a great time last week during our 100 Blocks designer blog tour. Today we continue unveiling blocks designed by the Quiltmaker staff. Here is my block from Volume 6 – a super cute fire engine, named Rescue No. 1! I just love it. I'm envisioning a whole fleet of vehicles down the road.
As "Mom" to a 12-year-old son, I often try to design more "boy-like" quilts since they seem harder to come by, so a truck block seemed like obvious choice this time. You may remember my skateboard quilt, Kickflip, which appeared in Quiltmaker May/June '12 – another great pattern for the young man in your life. My son loves it on his bed.
Rescue No.1 does have it's share of patches in it, however, the piecing goes together very easily. Take a look at this cutting list!
I got into a wee bit of trouble around here because my pattern takes up more than the allotted half page – whoops! The rest of the assembly diagrams are on another page because there wasn't enough room – but it was too cute to try to simplify it! It helps that I "know people," ya know?
So for stopping by our Quilty Pleasures blog today, you have an opportunity to win a complimentary copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 6 and a much-coveted 100 Blocks mug!
Leave a comment here by midnight MST tonight (11/13/12) giving a suggestion for my next vehicle block and you will be entered to win. One random winner will be chosen. Good luck! The randomly picked winner is comment #50 Debra Neiman. Congratulations!

How to influence Congress on just dollars a day
Note: This article is a sidebar to one of this issue's feature stories, Congress weighs the fate of Utah's wild lands.
Ray Wheeler, who has a history of determination that includes hiking nearly all the way across Utah, climbed on a jet in Salt Lake City last July 12, bound for the nation's halls of power.
The occasion was an emergency, he felt: Congress seemed about to ram through a bill that would open much of Utah's wilderness to development.
Wheeler had snatched four hours' sleep during the previous two days; he'd been scrambling to gather materials, writing and rewriting a statement that he was going to read to senators in a hearing he saw as crucial. In Washington, D.C., he was in motion again, assembling a packet that included news reports and firsthand observation from his many hikes, a dozen large color photos and a 12-square-foot poster, all portraying the Utah wilderness that he knew so well - the canyon of the Dirty Devil River, for example, Labyrinth Canyon, Happy Canyon, the San Rafael Swell around Muddy Creek.
Only by working through his third all-nighter was he ready to walk into the hearing room the next day when his name was called, and sit at the witness table. There, he was stunned. Only a half-dozen or so of the subcommittee members had bothered to attend the hearing, and by the time Wheeler got his chance, only one senator, Mark Hatfield of Oregon, remained on the dais. Nudging another Utah activist to hold up his photos at the proper time, Wheeler read his statement in the direction of the mostly empty senators' chairs.
The Oregon senator, in animated conversation with an aide, paid little attention, until it was time for him to bring down the gavel on Wheeler's seven allotted minutes.
Wheeler had picked the redrock country as his home more than 20 years ago, after scouting much of the West as a river guide and backcountry lodge worker. With a degree in English Lit as a springboard, he'd arranged a life around chronicling Utah's wilderness. He had a day job at the University of Utah with one-quarter time off, so he could go on expeditions, and a wife, Amy O'Connor, who shared his politics and his love for the outdoors.
Over the years Wheeler had mapped a route and come within 15 miles of hiking mostly contiguous wilderness from Colorado to Nevada; he'd inventoried wilderness all over Utah acre by acre, helping to spur protection of some U.S. Forest Service areas; he'd helped put together a coffee-table book detailing the wonders of areas that the Bureau of Land Management was temporarily protecting and evaluating.
He'd come to understand how special Utah's wilderness is - hunks as large as 1 million acres almost blending together without interruption from people. He believed that the decision on wilderness managed by the BLM - Utah's biggest landlord, managing 44 percent of the state's area - would leave a permanent imprint. The BLM process of studies, comment periods and recommendations had dragged on all the years he had been in Utah, and he'd gotten cynical about the lack of victory. Then most of Utah's congressional delegation had united behind what seemed like the ultimate disastrous bill.
Wheeler, 43, felt he couldn't live with himself if he didn't go down fighting.
He had planned his D.C. trip to last only a few days, but after the hearing went so badly, he extended his stay. He'd been associated with groups such as the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) and the Utah Wilderness Coalition, but at this point he was freelancing in a niche he'd discovered: The groups had concentrated on lobbying the House of Representatives, so he'd conduct a personal campaign targeting senators.
His first problem was to persuade busy political people from New York and California and other urban power bases that a bunch of rock and sand in Utah mattered.
By trial and error, he perfected his method: call the senator's office and get the name of the staffer who would handle such approaches. Above all, don't leave a message saying that some unknown, waffle-stomping maverick named Ray Wheeler was calling blind about Utah wilderness. Instead, leave no message, but call back later acting like Ray Wheeler the insider, who of course expected his call to be put through. Wheeler would keep pressing until the staffer agreed to a meeting, where he could make eye contact and present his photos and poster.
Wheeler operated out of SUWA's national office, which sits over a Chinese restaurant a few blocks from the Capitol, and out of the Sierra Club office, which is closer to the Senate side. Other than the plane ticket and two nights at a cheap bed and breakfast, which SUWA funded, Wheeler was paying his expenses. He was on foot pretty much everywhere he went, in a city that was sweltering in a record heat wave.
Some nights he slept on the carpet of SUWA's office. One night he slept on a sheet of cardboard on the fire escape outside the office, feeling not too different from the homeless people who scrounged on the streets below.
Always on deadline or running late, Wheeler would show up for his meetings with the key staffers carrying all his props, sweaty and out of breath; he'd try to persuade the stranger from another culture to imagine what his material and photos represented. He'd pull out one photo and say, "I've stood right on that spot - pretty awesome, isn't it? That's where the tar sands development would go."
One meeting, with Martin McBroom, a staffer for heavyweight Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, looked to be especially difficult. McBroom interrupted Wheeler's spiel, taking charge, firing skeptical questions and pawing through the supporting evidence. "Aren't you really overstating your case?" McBroom wanted to know. Then he noticed the portfolio, and took possession of it, much as he had taken possession of the meeting. As McBroom looked through the photos, he warmed. It turned out that McBroom was also a photographer who had tried to capture landscapes; he began to admit some enthusiasm for Utah's sand and rock. He also offered advice.
"Senate staffers are snobs. You look sloppy. We don't appreciate that," McBroom said. He reached out and straightened Wheeler's tie. Wheeler was grateful; his effort shouldn't be wasted by something so trivial as a gentlemen's dress code.
In two intense weeks, Wheeler managed to meet with staffers for 34 senators. Then he dragged himself onto a jet and flew home.
The emergency continued longer than anyone predicted. Environmental groups mobilized members in every congressional district. A public relations firm hired by environmentalists helped trigger editorials in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and in hometown papers in many congressional districts. Just as Utah's political machine seemed to suffer inertia, Congress did too, despite the rhetoric about a quick revolution. Official action on Utah wilderness bogged down. Wheeler hopes he may have had some small effect.
Ray Ring writes in Bozeman, Montana.

(HONG KONG) There is nothing quite like a personal recommendation when it comes to travel, and Dragonair's 'Travel China in Style' Campaign, which promotes Mainland China as a chic, trendy leisure destination, encouraged people to share their top tips on visiting the Mainland in its recent travel tip contest. The contest included highly interactive customer engagement activities through a dedicated minisite - www.dragonair.com/travelchina.
The travel tip contest proved to be immensely popular and garnered good response from the public. Hundreds of travel tip entries were received and thousands of votes were cast for favourite tips in the past months. People shared their unique insights on travelling in various parts of Mainland China for a chance to win air tickets and hotel packages.
The stylish travel tip of a leisurely boat ride along the Suzhou River has won Ms Connie Kwok the Grand Prize of a luxurious Business Class holiday package to Beijing for two. Her eloquent tip mentioned that travellers would find themselves immersed in one of the ink paintings by Master Wu Guanzhong. She recommended renting a bike and riding around the temples and gardens, visiting the chic shops along Pingjiang Road and the exquisite Hotel Soul, a boutique hotel.
The first runner-up winning tip went to the Mulan Hunting Ground in Beijing, popular with photographers as it offers an evocative scene of hundreds of galloping horses, with the sound of thundering hooves and dust swirling around them. The second runner-up advised visiting the Xixi Wetland Park in Hangzhou, for its rejuvenating serenity and natural beauty.
Summing up the campaign, Manager Marketing Communications Grace Cheung, said, "Overall, we believe that the 'Travel China in Style' campaign has been a great success and we engaged the general public in many ways. By inviting the public to share their favourite China travelling tips on our website, we hope to rejuvenate the China travelling experience as a chic and trendy destination, so people will return again and again and enjoy different activities each time."

Harold Gould, a veteran character actor who played con man Kid Twist in the 1973 movie
Valerie Harper's father on TV's "Rhoda" and Betty White's boyfriend on "The Golden Girls," has died. He was 86.
Gould, who also was known for his stage work, died Saturday at the Motion Picture and Television Fund retirement community in Woodland Hills of prostate cancer that had metastasized, said Leah Gould, his daughter-in-law.
A former university drama teacher
who launched his career
in front of the camera in the early '60s,
Gould appeared in movies such as "Harper," the 1974 remake of "The Front Page," "Love and Death," "Silent Movie," "Freaky Friday" and "Patch Adams."
Over the last five decades, he made scores of guest appearances on TV shows such as "Route 66," "Perry Mason," "Dr. Kildare," "The Jack Benny Program," "The Big Valley," "Soap," "Spencer" and, most recently, " Nip/Tuck."
On television, Gould may be best remembered for playing Martin Morgenstern on the 1974-78 situation comedy "Rhoda" and Miles Webber on the 1985-92 sitcom "The Golden Girls."
"He was such a fine actor and such a lovely man," White said in a statement to The Times on Monday. "He will be sorely missed."
In his role as her "long-suffering, adoring dad" on "Rhoda," Harper said Monday, "Harold brought an extraordinary humor, class, grace and a twinkle to create the character of Martin Morgenstern," which began on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."
Describing Gould as "a friend as well as a co-worker," Harper told The Times that "he was one of the loveliest gentlemen — and so funny and so good at what he did."
Gould was nominated for five primetime Emmys: In 1975 for an episode of "Police Story;" in 1978 for an episode of "Rhoda;" in 1980 for "The Scarlett O'Hara War;" in 1986 for "Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry" (opposite Katharine Hepburn); and in 1990 for an episode of "The Ray Bradbury Theater."
He also played the father, Howard Cunningham, in a 1972 segment of "Love, American Style," titled "Love and Happy Days," which led to the long-running hit series "Happy Days." But during a delay before the series went into production, Gould went abroad to do a play.
"While I was there," he told the Post-Standard newspaper of Syracuse, N.Y., in 2008, "I got a call telling me to come back because they were ready to start shooting ['Happy Days']. Well, I always honor a commitment. Also, I had a beard that would need shaving off, so I told them no, and they put Tom Bosley into the part."
Despite his extensive television credits, theater was Gould's greatest love.
On Broadway, he appeared in Neil Simon's "Fools," Jules Feiffer's "Grown Ups," Tom Stoppard's "Artist Descending a Staircase" and Richard Baer's "Mixed Emotions."
Off-Broadway, he originated the role of Artie Shaughnessy in John Guare's play "The House of Blue Leaves," and he won an Obie Award in 1970 playing Dr. Eduard Huml
in Vaclav Havel's "The Increased Difficulty of Concentration."
Gould continued to do stage work across the country, more recently starring in productions of "Viagra Falls" and "Tuesdays with Morrie."
"I've always worked in the theater," he told the Record newspaper in New Jersey in 1996. "That's where the inner satisfactions come, the discoveries within yourself that are allowed over a period of time, with rehearsals and performances."
Born Harold V. Goldstein on Dec. 10, 1923, in Schenectady, N.Y.,
and raised in Albany,
Gould loved the theater at an early age but was encouraged by his parents to get into something with a more stable income.
After serving in the Army during World War II, he earned a bachelor's degree in teaching in 1947 from what is now the University at Albany, State University of New York. He then earned a master's degree and a doctorate in theater
from Cornell University, where he taught drama, speech and literature from 1948 to 1953.
Gould also taught at what is now Randolph College in Lynchburg, Va., and at UC Riverside, from where he took a one-year leave of absence in 1960 to follow his passion for acting.
"I was only 60 miles from Los Angeles, so I left my wife in Riverside, where she taught school," he told the Palm Beach Post in 2007. "I gave myself a year. All of my colleagues would say, 'What are you doing? You're crazy to leave teaching.' But I had to try. I had to take the leap."
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Lea; his children, Deborah Gould Harris, Joshua Gould and Lowell Gould; and five grandchildren.
A memorial service is pending.

MIDDLEBURY — When the track and field season begins at the Middlebury Union Middle School this spring a handful of athletes started out in a little better shape than they might have, thanks to an informal winter running program.
At the end of last fall's cross-country season a group of the athletes felt that they had built up a good base of fitness and didn't want it to atrophy over the winter. So they asked their coaches, Wendy Hollander and Karen Morris, if they would continue practices over the course of the winter.

Only the second episode ever of The West Wing, and we have an episode with a title in Latin and a discussion of an obscure Latin phrase. This show is not afraid to parade its intellectualism - or, put another way, it likes to show off.
CJ is insisting that Bartlet was badly defeated in Texas because he made a joke about big hats. Bartlet is equally insistent that his joke had nothing to do with it and they would have been just as badly beaten without it, and explains this in the following manner:
Bartlet: 27 lawyers in the room. Anybody know "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc"? Josh?
Josh: Uh, uh, "post" - after, after hoc, "ergo" - therefore, "After hoc, therefore" something else hoc.
Bartlet: Thank you. Next?
Josh: Well, if I had gotten more credit on the 443...
Bartlet: Leo?
Leo: "After it therefore because of it."
Bartlet: "After it therefore because of it." It means one thing follows the other, therefore it was caused by the other. But it's not always true. In fact, it's hardly ever true.
Just because something happens after something else, it doesn't mean there's a direct causal relationship between the two, Bartlet insists, and in the case of his big hats joke it's probably true. But 'Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc' is also the episode's title and in the case of the other storylines, it's harder to tell. Josh makes a deal that directly results in Mandy losing her only client, which then results in Leo persuading Josh to hire her (a very, very bad idea which they will quickly regret - my friend and I have a private theory that Leo had Mandy shot at the end of season 1 when she went to Mandyville, as they were all so fed up of her - she was infuriating). The storylines involving Sam and Laurie the call girl and CJ and Hoynes don't really have anything to do with it, they're part of ongoing story arcs that are stretched across the first season. The most important and most memorable storyline in the episode relates to Bartlet's discomfort, as a Commander-in-Chief who's never served in uniform, with violence and with the military. By the end of the episode, however, the death of his personal physician (whose fate is sealed when he turns up, is super-nice to everyone and starts showing people pictures of his new baby) has completely turned Bartlet around. Rather than feeling uncomfortable with violence, he is eager to 'blow them off the face of the Earth with the fury of God's own thunder'. Bartlet's change in attitude is directly caused by Morris's death - post hoc, ergo propter hoc.
Bartlet's use of Latin in this episode seals some of his biggest character traits. Bartlet only appeared in a few minutes of the pilot, because his character was only supposed to make occasional guest appearances, but it was so successful (and Sorkin realised that a programme set in The West Wing without the President wouldn't be so much fun) that from this episode on, he's a regular character. In the pilot, we saw him demonstrate his Christian faith and his protective attitude towards his family and friends, and he has the best entrance in television history, as he walks in to an argument about which Commandment is which, to declare 'I am the Lord thy God, and thou shalt have no other god before me'. (The best entrance in movie history, if you're interested, is Jack Sparrow walking off the sinking boat in Pirates of the Caribbean).
This episode, though, is where we really learn who Bartlet is, other than a liberal Catholic. Bartlet is a person with a bad sense of humour. Bartlet is a caring boss who asks after his employees' children. Bartlet has a Nobel prize and a PhD in Economics but has never served in the armed forces. And Bartlet is a man who will randomly answer his staff's concerns with Latin. Josh does pretty well with his attempt at translation - 'hoc' is one of those Latin things that just doesn't translate very well into English in this case. We just don't use demonstrative pronouns in that way. Bartlet demonstrates both his great learning and his rather irritating habit of displaying that learning at every opportunity here but, unlike Yes, Minister, there's a sense that we are genuinely intended to admire this quality, annoying as it may be. Bartlet's knowledge of Latin is the result of his privileged upbringing, but whereas, when Sir Humphrey uses Latin, his privileged upbringing is the only thing he's demonstrating, Bartlet's use of Latin is more about demonstrating his interest in knowing as much as possible about the world around him. This episode was made in 1999; from November 2000, this quality only became more important, as the show made it clearer and clearer that it valued the pursuit of knowledge, intelligence and the thirst for a greater understanding of the world, culminating in Bartlet's presidential race against the rather less bright Governor Ritchie. Education itself is only part of it - Donna spends 6 years questioning Josh about everything, until eventually she is qualified to run the First Lady's office. But Bartlet's Latin is an early sign of this agenda - it's annoying, it's slightly ridiculous but it's also, like his Nobel Prize, something to be admired.
