TV reports on Herts Sevens
Because cameras from Anglia TV were at the Sevens on Sunday and two reports were later broadcast on Sunday and Monday evenings, and thanks to Mike Alcock - one the Letchworth parents - I've managed to get a copy.
If you missed them then then here (Sunday & Monday) to watch the reports (total of about two and a half minutes).
Amongst the "highlights" you will see:
Interviews with:
- Carla Kelly and Hayley Guilder (Letchworth),
- Emma Cramphorn and Jess Lane (Welwyn),
- and some other bloke.
- Becket Barbarians (U17s)
- Becket Blues (U14s)
- Hellesdon High School, Norwich (U14s)
- Letchworth (U14s)
- Uttlesford (U17s)
- Welwyn (U14s)
- Various crowd scenes!
- A staggeringly patronising introduction (to the Monday broadcast)!
You can also download low quality (under 1MB) versions of each broadcast here:

Congratulations to Basildon & Welwyn... and thanks to everyone else...
For the record... after eight hours of play (yes - it did overrun a bit!):
Cup: 1: Welwyn; 2: Saracens, 3=: Basildon & Westcliffe
Plate: 1: Rochford; 2: Milton Keynes; 3: Becket Blues
Bowl: 1: Hellesdon; 2: Letchworth; 3: Uttlesford
Cup: 1: Basildon; 2: Hertford; 3=: Letchworth & Welwyn
Plate: 1: Paviors; 2: Westcliffe; 3=: Rochford & Uttlesford
Bowl: 1: Becket Barbarians; 2: Daventry; 3=: Milton Keynes & Wasps
Shield: 1: Romford; 2: Becket Belles; 3: Letchworth/Saracens
[I have the detailed scores from the pool stages, but after that... well it didn't matter as much and finding referees became a greater priority. However, in response to one or two requests, detailed results are noew available - see the column on the right]
There were many outstanding games - and a lot of very impressed spectators who'd not seen much girls' rugby before. It was particularly good to see new teams like Wasps, Hellesdon High School and Romford learn and improve game by game - all three of them had won at least one game by the end of the day, and two went home with trophies.
Basildon were worthy winners in the U17s, especially after a pulsating semi-final against Welwyn (revenge, perhaps, for their defeat at the Rochford 10s festival in October), and the final placings are probably an accurate reflection of where the strength of East (and East Midlands) girls' rugby has been this season.
In the U14s the clear favourites won - and who would bet against Welwyn's juniors taking the national title as well in two weeks times? Elsewhere the U14 competition was far probably closer than the U17s - Saracens winning Pool C on tries scored, and Westcliff pipping Basildon to Pool B by a single bonus point.
For most of you your season is now complete and you can put your feet up . As you do, spare a thought for the poor saps from Basildon, Welwyn (U14s and U17s) and Letchworth (U17s) who will still be fighting the good fight for two more weeks. Yes, these gluttons for punishment are going to do it all again in two weeks time - at the Nationals. And after today's experience, who would bet against an East region name being on the trophies!
Any feedback would be very welcome. Seriously. Suggestions for improvements, what went well (how useful was this blog?), what didn't, etc. would be very welcome.
And so it ends. For this year. The host for next year's Herts Sevens has yet to be decided (or even discussed) yet, but hopefully we'll see you all back in the county for that. In between times there's the Rochford 10s Festival on 22nd October (not the 29th, as the programme suggested) to look forward to - definately not to be missed. See you there!!
Finally... this is where this blog closes down - hopefully to be revive next year. I was tempted to talk about little white dots fading on the screen, but its a sign of age I guess for anyone to understand what I might mean. Anyway, I will now be transferring business to a new blog - http://hertsgirls.blogspot.com - to give a similar news and comment service on the girls county scene in Hertfordshire. If you'd care to join me there you'd be very welcome.
And in the meanwhile, why not start your own blog? Its not just a management tool (though its a useful one) but it can be fun as well. Lets have some English girls rugby blogs out there - why should (the otherwise excellent, but still very American whatever you say, Blondie!) Saturday's a Rugby Day have all the fun?
[PS - don't forget to check out the tournament phots on http://rugbymatters.net. Expect them to start appearing from the middle of the week - and keep going back as new photos will be added as they are processed. RugbyMatters also do a very fast and effective turnround time on prints - so get your orders in as well.]
[PPS - Anglia TV's report on the day went out at around 6.20pm on Sunday - which we were doing the presentations. I am trying to get a copy of the recording and will post it on here shudl I manage to do so].

U14 competition: Important changes
As a result Pools B and D will now merge to form a single, four-team group consisting of Basildon, Becket Blues, Letchworth, and Westcliff. All of these teams existing matches will still take place at the same time as previously arranged, but each team will now have one extra game. The games in this new, enlarged, Pool B will be:
11:30 - Letchworth v Becket Blues (Pitch 2) and Basildon v Westcliff (Pitch 3)
12:10 - Becket Blues v Westcliff (Pitch 2) and Basildon v Letchworth (Pitch 3)
12:30 - Letchworth v Westcliff (Pitch 2) and Basildon v Becket Blues (Pitch 3)
There will also be changes to the timings and structure of the knock out stages:
Cup Competition
- The top two teams from the enlarged Pool B will be joined by the winners of Pools A and C
- The semi finals, will now be at 14:10 instead of 14:30
- The 3rd place play-off will now be at 14:50
- The final will be at 15:30
Plate Competition
- The plate competition will now be decided by a three team group consisting of the runners up from Pools A and C and the third placed side from Pool B
- Matches will be played on Pitch 2 at 13:50, 14:30, and 15:10
Bowl Competition
- The bowl competition will also now be decided by a three team group consisting of the third placed sides from Pools A and C and the fourth placed side from Pool B
- Matches will be played on Pitch 3 at 13:50, 14:30, and 15:10
All of these amendments have now been incorporated into the tournament plans and accessible through the links in the column on the right.
Smile for the cameras!
The reporter is due to arrive some time in the morning, presumably with the aim of including a report in the afternoon's regional news slot - so set those videos now!

80 hours to kick off. "Light rain" forecast, so don't forget the sun block!
What more is there? Well, the final planning meeting is tomorrow evening so we'll see. Should we hire portaloos and will anyone use them if we do was the burning question of the moment last time...
Only problem is that the promised rain has failed to arrive. The promising downpours of Monday has all but dried up now, and the torrential rain and storms of today turned into baking heat. So this evening the ground was pretty solid again.
I mean what do these forecasters do - toss coins? Pull random words from a bag? Might as well, frankly.
For what its worth the BBC weather centre says no rain now until Sunday, and then light rain on the day. So expect a heatwave...

Paviors to the rescue: Notts team to replace Stevenage in Pool B
Paviors come from Arnold in Nottinghamshire, which is just north of the city of Nottingham. They would appear to be a useful side as well, having reach the semi-final stages of the National Cup.
Because they are coming from slightly further away than Stevenage they have asked if their first game can be put back. So the first games in Pools B and C of the U17 competition will now be:
10.30: Hertford vs Rochford Hundred (Pitch 4) (Referee: Saracens)
10.50: Paviors vs Milton Keynes (Pitch 4) (Referee: Basildon 2)
All other games are unaffected.

The world's most complicated rugby tournament?
I happened to glance at the format of the forthcoming Women's Rugby World Cup (to be held in Canada in September). I noticed that in the 12 team event England had been drawn in the same group as Australia and Ireland, which means (obviously) that in their pool games they will play... the USA, South Africa, and France.
No - that's the way it works. And then somehow - magically - after playing games against teams not in the same group as them, all the teams in the competition will be ranked 1-12 (how?) and will then play semi finals and finals.
I can't help thinking that if I'd come up with a structure like this for our tournament (and the U14s have 12 teams...) I've been lynched. And justifiably too!
Anyone wishing to try to get their mind round this is welcome to visit http://www.rwcwomens.com/
IRB adds Women to World Cup 7s in 2009
"To highlight the growth of Sevens, one of the of the key recommendations of the IRB Strategic Plan for Women's Rugby developed last year was the introduction of a Women's Rugby World Cup Sevens with the aim of providing an elite level of women's Sevens tournament which will raise the profile of the Women's Game on a global scale. It is the first time that there has been a major focus on the Women's Game and the introduction of an integrated tournament is not just an exciting development for Women's rugby, but also Rugby Sevens," Said IRB chair Dr Syd Millar.
"The Strategic Plan for Women's Rugby is designed to increase the competitiveness and profile of Women's Rugby on a global scale through a number of high performance, management and tournament initiatives, and the introduction of an integrated Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament is a key initiative," explained IRB Council Member with responsibility for Women's Rugby Chris Le Fevre.
"The IRB believes that an integrated Rugby World Cup Sevens, allied to the ever increasing number of participating Unions and healthy attendance and broadcast figures, further re-enforce Rugby Sevens' strong case for introduction into the Olympic Games sporting programme," added Dr Millar."
(Far be it for me to be slightly uncharitable here, but does that last paragraph maybe explain the IRB's suddenly seeing the light?) .
Anyway - more here - Saturday's a rugby day
Six days to go - the countdown begins...
If you are planning to travel in anything that will require a larger parking bay than a standard car, please let us know as soon as possible.
Weather forecast
Forecasts are for quite a lot of of rain in Letchworth over the next few days - even flash floods in some parts of the county (not a problem for us as the ground itself is near the top of a hill). This will hopefully soften the ground up a bit.
The long range forecast for Sunday itself is occasional showers.

Getting ready for sevens
The following two are amongst the most comprehensive availble, and also have the benefits of being available free...

Taking the next step starts at Herts Sevens
To help the girls who are facing this big step, representatives from four of the region's women's teams will be at Herts Sevens this season. Players from Hertford Ladies, Millwall Venus, Old Albanians and Tabard will be on hand throughout the day to meet players, offer advice, discuss what its like in the adult game, and also offer playing tips and suggestions.
The four clubs represent all levels of the adult game, from newly established teams such as Tabard, to well established premiership teams like OAs.
Its should be a great opportunity for all the players at the festival to learn more about the women's game so, if you are a coach, please make the club reps feel welcome and encourage your girls to find time to have a chat with them.
The main aim is to demystify the adult game, so that girls - especialy from clubs that lack women's teams - feel more confident about moving onward and upwards into adult rugby.
Sponsor to provide free tournament programmes for all
And the good news is (as well as being, hopefully, both an interesting and useful publication) - thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation - all copies will be available free to all spectators and supporters. So collect as many copies as you need when you arrive!
464 water, who are also suporting the festival, will also be providing bottled water for the players - remember to collect your supply at registration.

Parking and travel arrangements
Note that the road numbers have recently changed following the opening of the Baldock by-pass.
If travelling from the east it is quicker to exit the A505 before you get to Letchworth and go through Baldock than follow the by-pass.
If you are using the A1 then leave at Junction 9, and follow the signs for the B656 and the leisure centre.
Parking at the ground will limited, so we have arranged for you to be able to use the car park of the Hertfordshire Careers Service, situated on the opposite side of the B656 from the Leisure Centre (marked with a "P" on the map above).
Registration will be from 9.30 -10.15. If possible you are encouraged to submit team lists by email (email@example.com) before day in order to speed arrangements. A registration form can be downloaded by clicking here.
If you are travelling from a significant distance, and your first game is not until 11.30 or later, then you may delay your arrival until 45 minutes before your first game. However, you must still telephone or text 07767 615274 between 9.30 and 10.15 to confirm that you are on your way.
Changing rooms will be open and available, but there will obviously not be enough rooms for all teams to change at the same time! Teams should either arrive ready to play, or give themselves plenty of time to change. Showers will also be available on the same basis.
Changing rooms will be shared and no clothing or equipment should be left unattended in any changing room - Letchworth GC RFC will not be responsble for any losses resulting from unattended belongings.
The changing room and shower areas will be open only to players and female coaching staff throughout the day.

RFUW issue insurance guidance
It reminds clubs and players that to be adequately insured anybody playing rugby must:
- Become a member of an RFUW affiliated club
- Become a Registered RFUW Player and / or
- Become a member of an affiliated county squad and / or
- Become a member of an affiliated RFUW Regional Squad.
It also states that:
- Clubs must be affiliated to the RFUW.
- Women's / girls teams should ensure the Club Secretary is aware of their teams existence.
- The Club secretary must then include all women and girls teams on the Club Insurance Form.
New teams - in particular those conected with men's clubs - are often incorrectly informed that their club's RFU affiliation and insurance covers girls' and women's teams. This is not the case as the RFU is not reponsible for girls' and women's rugby players or teams after the age of 12. This document sets out in detail what is required by the RFUW and its insurers.
It is in everyone's interests that all teams attending this year's Hertfordshire Sevens meet these requirements - so please take a moment to check that your team is covered.
Did you go to an England international this season?
This was the first year that England had played its Six Nations games at the ground.
Susan Allen at RFUW is asking specifically whether or not the venue as:
and has also published a more detailed questionnaire on the RFUW website (click here).
If you did got to one of the games please take a few moments to answer Susan's enquiries.

Referee changes
All of the existing times published for everyone will stay the same, but some referees will be taking on an extra game. The extra assignments are:
11:30 Welwyn to referee Basildon v Kibworth (U14)
11:50 Letchworth 1 to referee Milton Keynes v Basildon (U17)
12:30 Hertford to referee Rochford v Hellesdon (U14)
12:50 Letchworth 3 to referee Basildon v Holt (U14)
And in the knockout stages (subject to change, depending on how the pools go, obviously):
14:10 Letchworth 4 to referee plate C2/D2 semi-final (U14)
15:30 Saracens to referee A2/B2 plate semi-final (U17)
16:10 Basildon 1 to referee shield final (U17)
Some of the "rules" have been stretched a bit here - Welwyn will now be refereeing in the slot before a Welwyn game, and Letchworth 1 will have three games running, but that is unavoidable. If this does cause any problems please get back to me as soon as possible as this has to be finalised by the middle of next week so that the amendments can be included in the tournament programme

Still spaces at National Sevens
With less than a week to go there are still five places waiting to be filled in the U17 competition, and nine in the U14s.
Its a great opportunity to play against clubs you'd never normally get a chance to meet - clubs like Worcester, Morpeth, and Petersfield - so if your already practicing for one event, why not make the most of it. More information by clicking here.

U14 competition: provisions in case of a withdrawl
One option would be to redraw the competition with two pools of four and one of three, but this would result in significant disruption and confusion that could easily spill over and affect the U17 event.
So - in the event of a withdrawl - the following will happen:
- All matches unaffected by the withdrawl will proceed as planned
- Two teams (the "extra" teams) will be selected at random to play an extra match against one or other of the teams in the affected pool (the "affected" teams).
- In these matches the "affected" teams will be competing for competition points as normal
- The "extra" teams will not gain competition points from these games, but will be eligible for the "good sportmanship" bonus point (see competition rules)
- It is possible that an "extra" team might have to play consecutive games. However, there is some leeway built into the timings which means that we should be able to ensure a 5-10 minute gap between matches if this happens.
- The bowl would be decided by a three team pool, with matches taking place at 13:30, 14:10, and 14:50.
- The plate semi-finals would move forward to 13:50.
Why would the "extra" teams not get competition points in these games?
It would theoretically be possible to award competition points, and then average out a teams points gained from their three games, but in practice this would add a degree of complexity (not to mention fractions of a point) to littel purpose as it would be unlikely to change any final pool positions. And if it DID change positions it would seem unfair - ie. a team might win both its pool games but not win the pool. The "good sportsmanship" bonus would seem to be sufficient.
Why would the "extra" teams want to take part in the games, in that case?
Primarily because most of the girls will be at the event to play as much rugby as possible. Also they do get a bonus point.
The "affected" teams would not be playing the same opponents?
True, but unavoidable. There is a limit to how even handed you can be, the teams will be selected at random, and in practice the game between the two "affected" teams will probably prove decisive anyway.
If more than one team withdraws?
Things become much easier, in fact. Two of the three team groups would be unaffected, and a four team group created from the remainder. Such an arrangement would also result in exactly the same number of games so the semi finals could proceed as planned.
What about the U17 competition?
If a teams withdraws from the U17s the group affected would play on as a three team group, with each team playing the other twice.

Hertfordshire U17s win inter-county sevens
The U14 team finished runner-up to Surrey - but a sizable propotion of Surrey's points actually came from Herts girls (Jess Robinson in particular) who had been lent to them - so a moral victory there, perhaps.
In the U17s a Hertfordshire team composed of girls from Letchworth, Saracens, and Bishop's Stortford first beat Surrey 15-5 before taking on "Bedfordshire" (effectively Ampthill with a couple of Surrey girls), who also beaten Surrey (19-15).
At this point its worth metioning that earlier in the year Ampthill U17shad visited Letchworth. The game was a remarkable battle with which went well into the second half before ending early, owing to an injury, with the score at 0-0.
With girls from the two clubs making up two thirds of the players on the field another close game was expected - but after a remarkable battle which went well into the second half, the game ended early, owing to an injury, with the score at 0-0...
Herts were therefore declared winners of the competition as, with equal tournament points and an identical try count, they had conceeded the fewest tries.
(Its worth saying that the Letchworth and Ampthill get on very well off off the field. The "problem" may be that, in terms of strengths, weaknesses, playing style and everything else (even the colours!) the teams are remarkably similar. Its unfortunate that Ampthill can't make it to Herts Sevens as we might have broken the deadlock...)
Code of conduct
To ensure that everyone has an enjoyable and rewarding day, players, officials and spectators are asked to follow the following code:
Players, officials and spectators…
- Will not argue with referees, or other match or tournament officials
- Will not use foul or abusive language
- Will not smoke – particularly in enclosed areas
- Will use any rubbish bins provided
- Will not deliberately hurt or threaten any other player in any way, on or off of the pitch
- Will not take anything that does not belongs to them
- Will be helpful to the officials

Competition rules
Playing conditions
Games shall be played according the standard laws of rugby union, incorporating IRB amendments relating to Sevens rugby and age group rules adopted by the RFUW.
In particular teams should note that:
- Conversions shall be taken by means of a drop kick
- After a score, the team scoring shall restart
- All matches shall be seven minutes each way - and may be reduced in length on safety grounds at the discretion of the referee (ie. if teams are significantly mis-matched, or if the risk to injury is increased due to player fatigue).
IMPORTANT NOTE: All referee decisions shall be final and cannot subsequently be changed. If an error is made by any match official over any rule, law or actuality, or the interpretation of any rule or law, then the game shall continue as if the error had not been made and any score, or subsequent score, shall stand. No attempt should be made to deliberately "correct" an error by any person either later in the game or afterwards, and no appeals will be entered into on such matters after a game.
Other tournament rules
- While squads may be of any size, they will be assumed to contain ten players. There will only be sufficient programmes, etc. - and winners' medals! - for that number.
- In pool games, four points shall be awarded to a winning team, and two points each if the game is drawn. A try scoring bonus point will be awarded to any team scoring four or more tries in a game, and a losing bonus point to any team losing by seven points or less.
- The organisers may, at their discretion, award a bonus point to reward examples of good sportsmanship, such as the lending of players to other teams to cover injury (provided they are not from the same club).
- The organisers also reserve the right to deduct competition or match points for breaches of the Code of Conduct or other poor sportsmanship by players or club officials if reported by referees or other tournament officials.
- Pool ranking shall be decided on the basis of (in order) a) competition points; b) results between the team/s tied on points; c) most tries scored; d) fewest tries conceded; e) points difference. If teams are still level then places shall be decided by a kicking competition (see below).
- Knock-out games tied at the end of normal time shall continue with one period of two minutes sudden-death (first to score wins) overtime with teams defending the end they were defending at the end of normal time. If teams are still level then the game shall be decided by a kicking competition (see below).
- Kicking competition. Each player finishing the game (or seven nominated players in the case of pool placings) shall take a drop kick at goal from any point on the field. Players from each team will kick alternately. All players other than the kicker shall stand behind the 22. The competition will continue until (after the same number of kicks have been
taken by each) one team has scored more goals than the other.
- The organisers' decisions on the interpretation of these rules, or on any other relevant matters not covered by these rules, shall be final.
If an on-field injury delays play for more than five minutes the game shall be abandoned and the score at the time of the abandonment shall stand.
If the injury delays the start of any subsequent matches then – if practical – in the U17 competition a half sized pitch shall be marked out and play shall continue on that pitch until the injury is treated. If that is not possible – or if the injury happens in a U14 game – subsequent matches shall transfer to the other pitch. Games will then run for five minutes each way
until the injury is treated and cleared.
Teams may make up to two tactical substitutions in each game, but may make more than two if any subsequent replacement is required owing to injury.
Replacements should – in the first instance - come from the team's own squad. However, if this is not possible - and the replacement is required owing to injury - then teams may "borrow" players from any other squad regardless of whether the "borrowed" player has played before in the competition, or intends to play again.
Teams are encouraged to lend players if requested - but when lending a player coaches should ensue that they do not breach the IRB rule limiting players to 90 on-field minutes in any one-day tournament.

Referees' schedule published
As the tournament will be covered by the Rugby Matters photographic agency we want to make the best visual impression as possible and will be providing shirts for referees to use when officiating. If possible it is requested that referees also wear bring black or dark shorts and socks.
Saturday, April 08, 2006
Tournament timetable now finalised
There were no major changes to any match times - mainly just some referee appointment clashes and a change to the U17 semi-final draw to ensure that teams from the same club did not meet before any final.
As well as the complete plan, separate tournament diagrams for each event have been drawn up in Word format which you may find easier to print out and edit for you own needs.
Tuesday, April 04, 2006
Draft match timetable now published
The programme publisher is requesting something approaching a final text by Friday (because Easter gets in the way). As they - the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation - are doing the whole thing for us nothing (design and print) I am not inclined to quibble too much, so please could I have any responses by tomorrow or Thursday. Sorry if that is very short notice.
It has to be said, incidentally, that putting this together makes the average Sudoku puzzle look total child's play - indeed it reminded me of trying to solve a Rubic's Cube. Minor changes have major knock-on consequences, so if you want to make changes you'd better have a damn good reasons ready!
Principles behind the timetable
- Teams travelling the significant distances start their programme later - and visa versa. (Generally I think this has been achieved within the limitations of the actual draw).
- No team plays back-to-back matches
Referee timetable
This is where things get fiendishly complex. Basically to try to be as fair as possible I have work on the principles that no referee will referee....
- Teams from their own club (this has been achieved)
- A game at the same time as their club is playing (this has been achieved, expect for Letchworth, Basildon, and Thomas Becket who are either providing two referees - each of which I have "linked" with either their U14 or U17 teams - or have two U17 teams, so there aren't enough spaces)
- A game immediately before their club is due to play (so that they can be involved in coaching and preparation) (there are some exceptions, but this has worked out in about 90% of cases)
- A game immediately after their club is due to play (so that they can provide feedback, etc.) (much more difficult this, but in most cases this has worked)
I've also tried to share out games as evenly as possible - generally each referee has been given 4-5 pool games.
There are also indicative appointments for the later stages - roughly based on seedings - but I expect these will be subject to significant change dependent on results.
I'll produce more individualised timetables later.

Under 17 competition: draw
Becket Barbarians
Uttlesford Hunters
Welwyn Warriors
Milton Keynes
Romford & Gildea Park
Stevenage Swifts
Holt & West Norfolk
Rochford Hundred
Becket Belles
Letchworth Legends
The winners of each group will proceed to the Cup semi-finals, runners up will go on to Plate semi-finals, third placed sides will play in the Bowl semi-finals, and fourth places sides take part in the Shield semi-finals. There will then follow the four finals. It is not planned to have play-off games for defeated semi-finalists in the Under 17 competition.
The full match schedule will be published nearer the event.
*NOTE* Due to the number of entries the competition will now start an hour earlier than planned. If that is a problem for any teams travelling a significant distance, please let me know so that your schedule can be adjusted accordingly.
Under 14 competition: draw
Hellesdon High School, Norwich
Rochford Hundred
Welwyn Warriors
Holt & West Norfolk
Milton Keynes
Uttlesford Daggers
Becket Blues
The winners of each group will proceed to the Cup semi-finals, runners up will go on to Plate semi-finals, and third placed sides will play in the Bowl semi-finals. There will then follow the three finals and three play-off games for defeated semi-finalists, thus giving four games for each team.
The full match schedule will be published nearer the event. .
Saturday, April 01, 2006
Entries closed. Definitely and finally!
Thanks to everyone who has entered - it looks a fascinating line-up.
The U17 competition will feature 16 teams, divided into four groups of four, while the U14 event will have 12 teams in four groups of three. Just about every club in East Region be represented in one way or another, in addition to teams from three other regions as well - see the list on the right for details
The draw will take place at Bishop's Stortford RFC on tomorrow. We (Letchworth) happen to be there and - as Stortford are not able to enter a team this year due to other commitments - they will be ideal independent witnesses.
The policies outlined last week will be followed, and all teams will play at least four games.
The schedule of matches and general timetable of events will follow later, though it is expected that competition will start earlier than originally planned due to the size of the entry. If that causes any problems for any teams please let me know and we will try to arrange for you matches to begin at more suitable times.
Tuesday, March 28, 2006
Entries reopened... until Friday
This benefits the U14 competition in particular as Milton Keynes; Thomas Becket (Northampton); Kibworth (Leics.); and Newbold would bring things up to the planned 12. The former two may also enter the U17s.
In terms of teams entered this would make Herts 7s possibly the biggest girls rugby tournament East Region has ever had, an honour it will hold for all of two weeks (32 teams being expected at this year's nationals, to be held in Harpenden).
Still, not bad considering two years ago the girls' county festival was a tag rugby event featuring only about 8 or 10 teams!

Rules for Herts Girls Sevens 2006
In designing the competition the following principles have applied:
- No player to play more than 90 minutes (IRB rule)
- No "dead rubbers" - every match to have some importance
- Clubs to be given as much opportunity as possible to play teams that they would not normally meet (so, in the opening pools of both competitions, the aim is to ensure that no two teams from the same county, or failing that the same locality within a county, will be drawn together).
- The best teams in the competition will contest the final (so there will be some seeding, based on previous festivals this season, to ensure that the strongest sides are kept apart in the opening phase).
Guesting for other sides
If, due to illness or injury, a team is short of players they will be allowed - with the agreement of the organisers - to borrow players from other sides, even if those players have already played for other teams, and continue to do so - provided that no girl may play in more than six matches in total.
Under no circumstances will such "guesting" be allowed for tactical reasons. Teams attempting to undertake such action will risk forfeiting any matches affected.
The draw
It is intended that draw will be announced early next week (once the final make-up of teams is known).

Holt & West Norfolk complete U17 entry
The clubs - who often combine for fixtures - will be making their debuts at Herts 7s, and bring the number of entries in the U17 competition up to the planned 12.
In the U14 competition - with just over a day to go - there are now nine entries.
With 21 teams taking part Herts 2006 will be nearly twice of the previous edition - amply demonstrating the dramartic growth in girls rugby in the East region. Anyone care to forecast how many will enter Herts 2007?
Sunday, March 19, 2006
Deadline brings rush of entries
Three more clubs - Westcliff (U14s & U17s), Daventry (U14s & U17s) , and Stevenage (U17s) - have said that they will be entering Herts 7s. In addition Saracens will also be provding some U17s who can help build a "Nomads" team (we'll try to think of a better name later).
On the other hand Bishop's Stortford may not be able to make it (or at least with a full team), but all in all means this means that at least 10-12 teams are now expected in the U17s, and 8-10 in the U14s.

Two more big names announce entries for Herts 7s
Hertford - traditionally one of the biggest names in Hertfordshire rugby - have announced their intention to enter the U17 competition. Hertford Girls is one of the oldest girls teams in the county and is packed with experience.
Meanwhile - from over the border - Basildon become the third Essex side to enter the fray. Perhaps the major name in Essex - and East Region - girls' rugby in recent years, Basildon are entering at both age groups. The club's U17s were runners up at Rochford 10s at the start of the season - can they go one better at the end?
Monday, March 13, 2006
Two more entries for Herts Sevens
Rochford Hundreds' popular 10s takes place every October, and its an event that certainly the girls at Letchworth enjoy as they recently voted it the "best day's rugby of the season". We can only hope that Herts Sevens can match that success!
It's also great to see Bishop's Stortford in the tournament. Recently revived by a new coach they played their first fixture of the season - at Letchworth - only yesterday, where they performed well against a much stronger and more experienced Letchworth & Sudbury combination. With a few more weeks to prepare, and a fast back line, Stortford will difficult opponents in the Sevens..

Sarries grab first "referees go free" spot
So that's only seven more "free" places - don't delay!
Saracens' coach Simon Shutler will now referee at the festival - and as a result his U14 girls will be taking part - free, gratis, and for nothing.
It was Simon who coached the victorious U14 Barbarians side at last year's Sevens - a team largely based on Saracens' and Welwyn's U14 team. With both of these teams now entered the U14 competition becomes even more interesting - which one of last year's partners will win the title. Or will it go to someone else?
Limited offer: Bring a ref, play for free!
Provide a referee for Herts Sevens, and enter your clubs teams free!
That's right - no entry fees for those that bring referees.
Obviously you will not be able to ref your own team, and ideally not games in your own team's group, but we will try to arrange your refereeing duties around your teams games so that when your team are playing on one pitch you are not ref-ing on another (nothing guaranteed, mind!).
We need up to eight refs (thus allowing you every other game off) - so its a limited offer. Strictly first come, first served!
PS: We also have provision to pay referees, if that would be preferred!

THE city's health and family planning commission has announced its official goal of making Shenzhen a forerunning "Healthy China" city, according to a conference held by the commission Thursday.
The commission laid out a three-step plan for achieving the goal: building Shenzhen into a healthy city by 2020, establishing an international medical center by 2025 and making Shenzhen a global model for other healthy cities by 2035.
The work conference also summarized the city's health-care sector's most fruitful efforts made over the past year.
Shenzhen was nationally recognized as a model city for carrying out reform in public health care last year. Four of Shenzhen's reform efforts were honored as national consummate health-care reform measures.
Nine new grass-roots medical groups were set up in eight districts in Shenzhen last year. Currently, there are 12 medical groups in Shenzhen, covering all districts and new areas in the city.
Shenzhen became one of the three pilot cities in China to adopt the Diagnosis-related Group (DRG) system, a new way of calculating medical bills for patients, last year. Nine public hospitals were chosen as pilot hospitals for trial-testing the system.
Public hospitals in Shenzhen also adopted a centralized procurement method through a third-party organization to slash medication prices last year, estimated to save nearly 1.5 billion yuan (US$238 million) a year for residents. The prices of 1,594 medical services in public hospitals were also adjusted, further reducing patients' financial burdens.
Three new hospitals were put into trial operation last year. Five hospitals, including four public hospitals and one private hospital, were accredited as top-grade. Currently, there are 12 top-grade hospitals in Shenzhen.
In 2017, a total of 100 medical teams were introduced to the city through the 3R Project, which aims to bring top-notch medical experts and resources to Shenzhen.
The city inducted 2,739 new practicing doctors, and added over 3,000 beds to the city's hospitals over the past year.

Concepcion is a contented woman by all appearances. She lives with her husband, Luis in a home that is adequate. He is an artist. She has a restaurant. When she is very busy, he comes and washes dishes for her. They have two children who live at home and also, Luis' parents live with them (but sort of next door). Concepcion is smiling. She is grateful. She is lovely with a genuine smile. She makes me one of the best cheese and squash blossom quesadillas I can ever imagine eating.
I have met Concepcion because I am in Oaxaca, Mexico with Dave. We are celebrating our 40th anniversary with a 2-week trip in Mexico. It is work and fun. Dave is expanding his travel business to include more destinations that can be an authentic experience. It is a working vacation, because that is what we do well and what we enjoy. I am deeply gratified seeing Dave's command of Spanish and his skill at designing a trip and finding quality, local guides to be on our team. I think he is enjoying my joy at learning new words in Spanish and asking questions of Pablo, our very capable guide. It is just good to be in Mexico with my husband of many years, enjoying his joy (Maybe he even appreciates my suggestions about how to arrange his initial trip to Oaxaca).
The truth about Concepcion is that she has a very simple life. The floor in her restaurant is dirt. Her living room doubles as the over-flow room of her dining area and she is limited in her offerings at the cafe. Her son is helping her in the café (he did not pass the test into the university and has a limited future—though he is handsome and helpful to his mother. He seems bored.). Her in-laws, indeed, live adjacent and recently deeded the portion of their land that includes Concepcion's restaurant to Luis so they now own the cafe. I sense that she is the hard worker in the family. Her daughter tried to start a business, investing a significant amount of money in a clothing shop venture, only to be bilked out of the entire investment.
Pablo brought us to meet Concepcion because she is participating in a local micro-finance program. After a period of skeptism (warranted, after her daughter's experience), she was persuaded by a friend to accept a 1300 peso loan so that she could offer more options at her restaurant (that's $104). She bought carrots and onions and other basic ingredients. Her weekly pay back has been 250 pesos ($20) and she has managed that for three years. She has been able to improve the roof and to buy new tables as a result of the loans . Now, she is taking a huge leap to take a 6000 peso loan ($480) that will take her 16 weeks to repay. She will use it to buy beer and beef to increase her profit margin and clientele. (Hopefully, with her increased profit margin, she will be able to improve the cafe's bathroom facilities.)
Concepcion is a woman I admire.
She is smiling.
She is grateful.
She is conscious of what she has and is eager to see what is in her future.
She is taking risks, but not fool hardy ones.
She is improving her life and the life of her family.
She is setting a wonderful example for her children.
I often want to get all involved in the lives of people I meet who are striving forward. I don't need to help Concepcion, though. She is in capable hands of the local organization who is providing funds and accountability and support. However, I did ask her many questions because I dream of an opportunity in Copper Canyon for the local women, both Mexican and Tarahumara, like the opportunity Concepcion has had. Maybe I will be able to organize a similar program. Maybe there are women there, like Concepcion, who have aspirations and dreams and a plan.
There are so many possibilities for ways to give. I like this experience in a little weaving village in Oaxaca, Mexico that reminds me that I am not responsible to meet every need I see. I am drawn to Concepcion, but only as an inspiration and instruction. Clarity will come as we continue to experience and learn.

For someone who dared to pursue a dream on SA's Got Talent, one of the most popular shows on SA television with an estimated viewership of ten million people, James Bhemgee is soft-spoken and humble. In front of an audience of 26 journalism postgraduate students, he is quite confident, taking care to answer each question thoroughly.
He talks about his rags to riches story with such flair, that you almost miss his slight stutter. Although news reports have claimed that Bhemgee is partly deaf, he denies this:
"Maybe now I'm deaf. Maybe they (journalists) can predict such things."
From that first introduction, it is clear he likes to remain mysterious, enticing us with anecdotes such as: "We grew up fast" or "Dreams don't make themselves happen."
Of all the questions our journalism class asks him, the one about his children he answers the most briefly. "They are happy. They are with their mothers. That's how we do it in the townships: the mothers take care of the children." He doesn't go into much detail about their lives, except for his daughter, Roshana (in her early 20s), who has the same singing gift. He also sings with his sister, Dominique Adams. They come from a large family of four sons and five daughters.
Since May 2010, Bhemgee has been singing with his two best friends, Eugene Jephta and Matthew Overmeyer, as the Cape Flats' Tenors. They even sang for tourists during the Soccer World Cup. "It was our chance to shine," Bhemgee and Jephta say in synchronisation. Jephta has accompanied Bhemgee to the interview, even helping him answer the questions. They've been friends since they were boys growing up in the Cape Flats, an area known in South Africa for its gang violence.
Bhemgee has been through a lot since the age of four, when his mother left him and his brother, Jonathan, on his stepmother's doorstep.
"Our mother was in trouble with the police and she made provisions for us before going to prison. Despite all her problems, she looked out for us," he explains, choking on the last few words.
Born in Worcester, he lived the life of gypsy with his troubled mother, moving from Gugulethu to Heideveld to Retreat and Kalksteensfontein. In primary school, he fell in love with music when a boy from his class serenaded the prettiest girls. Bhemgee decided to beat him, by singing for the girls in his class, then for the teachers. He eventually found himself singing in the streets he swept as an adult.
One afternoon, an elderly woman, Angelique Fuhr, overheard him singing and told him she thought it was the radio. Much like the pages from Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, she mentored him and influenced him to pursue his passion and talent for opera. She contacted her daughter, a music teacher, who told her mother that she had discovered "a dear treasure." He was then taken to the Lloyd Strauss Top Tenors. Being the 1980s, at the height of the apartheid struggle, Bhemgee was hungry for any opportunity he could get.
His courageous spirit and sparkling personality took him to the United Kingdom in 1994, where he appeared on a BBC breakfast television show, after appearing on South Africa's Carte Blanche. From there, he spent four years singing in Germany in different operas including Giacomo Puccini's La Boheme. He still speaks German fluently, amusing our class with a few words.
From 1998 to 2010, there is a gap in his life that the class tries to make sense of. He explains he went back doing odd jobs for the municipality, even collecting rubbish. "It was a humbling experience to go back to being a nobody," he says, fiddling with his fingers. After Fuhr died, Bhemgee didn't have the motivation to do things on his own. On her advice, he refused an opportunity for an Australian TV company to film a documentary about his life.
"It could have opened many doors," he says with a grin, "But my advisors thought they knew better. Maybe I wasn't ready, like they claimed. Maybe now I am."
SA's Got Talent has even opened doors in Bhemgee's life he would have rather preferred closed. "With fame, comes much rubbish. So many people from my past came back into my life, hoping I could help them in some way."
Online, his voice seems to have soothed strangers' lives. The comments on SA's Got Talent's webpage read:
"You are better than Susan Boyle," "You had me in tears from the first night," "You have showed us what talent really is" and "Please put his voice on YouTube, his talent needs to be shared with the world."
Bhemgee has even moved the judges of the show to tears. Randall Abrahams, one of the judges, said: "Of all the singers we've heard over the past two years, so far, you are the best." Some have described him as the South African version of Susan Boyle, the middle-aged Scottish woman, who moved nasty Simon Cowell to tears.
He claims the fame hasn't really affected his personal life.
"Family is what matters when everything else doesn't anymore," he tells me, as we are alone.
I cannot help but wonder whether he wishes his children were part of his dream. I ask him quickly as he leaves the room. He replaces the silence with a quick: "Maybe one day. Hopefully one day." It is obviously the only dream that truly matters when this one is complete.

I have been lucky enough to design for Elena Shaddow, who originated the role of Francesca Johnson in The Bridges of Madison County and was recently seen in The Sound of Music Live, for the last four years. An incredible talent and brilliant teacher, Elena has become such a great friend. Today, we are thrilled to have launched her brand new website, coinciding with the debut of her new show, "Always Better: The New Golden Age of Broadway" at 54 Below in September. Check out her site for more than you ever wanted to know about this gifted soprano, and make sure you book tickets to this show, as they are sure to sell out quickly!
I knew when I was launching our new site, I wanted to rebrand and wanted a logo as unique as the work we do. Having followed Olivia Cook on Twitter and Instagram for the better part of a year now, I knew how amazing her talent is. I reached out and asked if she was interested in taking on a commission. Thankfully she was, and today we got he final result. I am so stoked. I knew it would be beautiful, but this is exactly what I wanted. I am so grateful to Olivia, and can't wait to work with her again in the future!
You can find Olivia on Twitter or Instagram at @omcook, or you can visit her website to see more of her work, and to purchase prints and more.
We have had the joy of working with Judson Theatre Company as part of their rebranding effort on two shows. After designing their productions of Bell, Book and Candle starring The Facts of Life's Mindy Cohn, and Steel Magnolias we are so pleased to partner with them again on their upcoming production of the seminal classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Check out the poster we designed, to the right.
Judson Theatre Company is based in Pinehurst, NC. If you are in the area in October, you absolutely MUST check them out!
Recently, I launched the new website for Kate Baldwin, Tony® nominee for Finian's Rainbow, and recent star of Big Fish and Giant - I met her in a chance encounter at The Most Happy Fella, where she smartly shared some Birthday Cake M&M's, and less than a week later, we had started on this! She has been a doll to work with, this "dude in a dress," and I hope you guys love it as much as I loved making it.

Sun 9 Aug 2009 in 45,-123:
South of Hillsboro, Oregon, USA
Jim just got back from Boston, but checked the hashpoint in the evening. He found it was too close to his house to ignore. So, he programmed the GPS, and grabbed the camera and set off.
The expedition started by going back into the house for new batteries for the GPS. And then swapping among the 4 batteries to find two that would power the GPS for a half hour or so.
I drove to the hashpoint, and followed the GPS down a road that looked like it might be a driveway, but it didn't have anything that looked right at the end. However, it dead ended at some hotwire. There were cattle on one side of the road, and the drive did lead to a barn, but that was clearly away from the hashpoint.
There weren't any buildings to seek permision, so I turned around and headed home, waving at the cattle as I headed past. They didn't respond, as far as I could tell.
| Jim earned the No trespassing consolation prize

A FORTY five-year old drug dealer, Martin Ikechukwu, was yesterday sentenced to a 10-year imprisonment for unlawful importation of cocaine.
Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court, Lagos, held that he was an unrepentant convict.
Justice Benedicta Molokwu will also sentence him in a similar case next Tuesday.
Ikechukwu was arrested in Lagos on February 23,2010 for possession of one kilogramme of cocaine, which he imported from Brazil.
He was arraigned before Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court, Lagos, on April 1 in the same year. He pleaded not guilty and was granted bail.
But mid-way into the trial, Ikechukwu absconded.
He was arrested two months ago at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, for unlawfully importing another consignment of 9.5kg of liquid cocaine from Brazil.
He was arraigned before Justice Molokwu on a one-count charge.
He pleaded guilty. Justice Molokwu adjourned the matter till November 26.
Prosecution lawyer Raphael Hinmikaiye of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) yesterday told Justice Buba that Ikechukwu had been re-arrested and charged before Justice Molokwu. Justice Buba ordered Ikechukwu to appear before his court.
The accussed appeared in court on Wednesday and was re-arraigned on the earlier charge.
He pleaded guilty and Justice Buba adjourned the matter till yesterday for a review of facts and sentencing.
On being told by Hinmikaiye that the accused had pleaded guilty before another judge, Justice Buba sentenced him to 10 years.
Justice Buba held that his guilty plea was not an indication of his being remorseful, but because he no longer has an escape route.

Gilda: The Same Situation
The fact that I am part of the same situation is what pushes and motivates me. When there is a woman who approaches and talks to me about her situation. I am with her because of her personal situations as a migrant in the country. I understand her because I'm there too. It is not the same thing being on the other side when fighting for immigrants because in every circumstance, you are in the same situation and for this reason, you will fight more strongly.

God's Not Dead has become such a successful movie series over the last few years for many reasons but most certainly because of the confronting storyline of being upfront about your faith. It reassures Christian believers to not back down whenever called out about Jesus. Also it confronts non-believers about the truth of God and Jesus Christ. As was presented in the first God's Not Dead Christian movie, Josh, a Christian college student enrolls on a philosophy class and from the get-go his faith is tested as his professor wanted to make all his students write that God was dead on a paper. As Josh refuses, the professor makes him prove the existence of God and if he failed he would not pass the class and it would affect his whole college GED.
Now in God's Not Dead 2, there's a similar situation. When a high school teacher gets asked in class a question involving Jesus, her answer suddenly affects her job. In this Christian movie we meet Grace Wesley (played by Melissa Joan Hart), she's a History teacher to high school students and also a Christian with strong faith. In class, Brooke, a student who has recently lost her brother, asks a question involving Jesus. Grace answers the question that was asked in a correct way plus mentioning Scripture. Little did Grace know that another student mentions the discussion to his parents and the principle of the school is quickly notified. Grace is sent in front of the school board and they allege that her faith distracted her answer. That she will go to court because she did not separate church and state in the moment of answering the question in class. Grace is suddenly in need of a lawyer to represent her, Tom Endler (played by Jesse Metcalfe) agrees to do so even though he's a unbeliever.
One of the things that I love about God's Not Dead 2 and the previous film is that they have different characters who lead different storylines but while the movie progresses you notice that these storylines connect at the end. Like for example, we have Martin, Brooke, Pastor David, Amy and even the Christian group Newsboys. They all have different storylines but connect at some point. Martin, since he gave his life to Christ is willing to keep learning more and more so he turns to Pastor David who helps him in his walk with God. Amy, who was diagnosed with cancer, suddenly finds herself cured.
Now back to Grace of God's Not Dead 2, she presents herself in court and the School Board wants her teaching license terminated unless she apologizes for her answer back in class. Knowing her faith and trust in God, she refuses to do so. Now the battle begins. On one hand the prosecutor against Grace is continually trying to prove her guilty state while also trying to prove that God is dead. Also Grace's lawyer Tom is trying to prove that she didn't do anything wrong that she was only answering a question. She was just doing her job. Many witnesses supporting Grace talk in the stand about the truth and evidence regarding the case.
Later on, Martin Yip finds his father in his dorm, there his father reprimands him for following God, a "religion" not right for him. Martin remains strong but his father disowns him still. Martin and Brooke later meet in a church, he talks life into her and about his experience with Jesus. He helps her accept Jesus into her heart. This scene right here is one of my favorites of the whole movie. The actors made such a sincere interpretation and to me it was very heartfelt.
Battle in court continues and Grace is feeling discouraged as it goes on. Now Brooke is asked to be a witness in court. She has to make a decision and choose to do the right thing. Right to this point, we don't know what the result will be since those against Grace have brought their A-game to the case, even though we know it's not correct and Tom has done so as well. Now I'll let you, dear reader, to discover how this Christian movie ends. God's Not Dead 2 is available right here in www.fishflix.com for the opportunity of purchase. This film is powerful and whenever I hear Grace's defense team and the witnesses in favor of her talk about the truth of Jesus I always get goosebumps. 100% recommend.

The scanning process is completed quickly and takes only 0,01 seconds.
Nevertheless, it is important for the quality of the 3D model that has to be produced, that the person who is going to be scanned stands still during the scanning process. In order to achieve the best results, our stuff makes, if needed, 2 to 3 scans of each client.
Despite all precautions, DOOB 3D Stores cannot be held responsible for a lack of perfection regarding color and/or shape, in case these incurred due to client´s movements during the scanning process (even though the movements are not clearly visible).
Additionally to that, DOOB 3D draws attention to the size of the figurines – those are of course much smaller than the original – the smallest details may disappear or contain too fine structures in order to build them unbreakable.
There is no possibility to eliminate the smallest differences (mm) between the original and the reproduction. Black, white and shiny or reflecting color structures hamper the scan and may lead, under certain circumstances, to difficulties with regards to the shooting or the subsequent production of the figure.
In the reproduction of hair structures (head, beard, etc.) interpretation plays an essential factor – missing structures, holes, etc. which could not be detected by the scan, need to be remodeled in the 3D processing.
In order to avoid unnecessary movement patterns and guarantee stability of the figure, the position for the client should be as comfortable as possible. Wearing high heels can affect the static of a figure and may require the preparation of a platform.
Under certain conditions (figure size and glass type) figure prints with glasses are also available.
What do the figures consist of?
The figurines are produced in the 3D-printing process and consist of a mixture of gypsum-/ silicate powder, binders and infiltrates. The material is breakable and should therefore be used with caution (like a porcelain vase). Direct sunlight, medium- to long term, will cause to fading of the figurines. Furthermore, it needs to be avoided that the figurines come directly into contact with moisture or chemicals. Due to its consistency and its composition the material that has been used is not suited for playing – broken parts could, for instance, get into the eye or be swallowed - in such cases, please immediately contact a doctor.
How long does it take for my figure to be delivered?
In general, from the scanning to the delivery of a finished figure it takes up to 8 weeks, depending on demand.

Health Plan's Impact Debated
Saturday, January 27, 2007
President Bush likes to say that his health-care proposal would "level the playing field" between people who get health coverage through their job and those who buy it on their own.
But experts said yesterday that it would tilt that field toward a kind of health insurance that Bush has long favored -- a high-deductible plan paired with a special tax-exempt health savings account, or HSA.
"I think it would be a big push for HSAs," said Mark B. McClellan, a health economist and former top health-policy adviser to Bush.
While McClellan thinks that would be a good thing, other experts said it would benefit the wealthy and undercut Bush's goal of bringing fairness to the private health insurance system.
In contrast with traditional health plans that typically charge $20 co-payments for visits to the doctor, high-deductible plans require consumers to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars out of pocket for medications, physicians' services and hospital care before most insurance coverage kicks in. The deductibles are steep, at least $2,200 for family coverage, compared with about $220 in a traditional plan. But the special savings accounts enable people to accumulate a tax-free pool of their own money to pay the deductibles and other uncovered health bills, rolling over any unused funds to the following year. And premiums for high-deductible plans tend to be lower.
The theory is that the plans, by making consumers feel the costs of their health care, give them an incentive to shop for the best prices for health services and to forgo procedures that they do not need. That is also one of the goals behind the proposal the president rolled out this week.
Bush's proposal seeks to eliminate the long-standing tax break for job-based medical insurance, requiring that a worker's taxable income include any money his employer contributes to help pay the premiums. A new tax deduction -- $15,000 a year for families and $7,500 for individuals -- would help people pay the premiums, either through their job or on their own. The plan faces opposition from Democrats in Congress.
The president contends that the current tax code favors employer-sponsored insurance and encourages covered workers to get more expensive plans, while his proposal would put all insurance buyers on an even tax footing and encourage them to shop for plans that cost less than $15,000.
Average annual premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance were $11,480 for family coverage and $4,242 for individual coverage in 2006, according to the nonprofit Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
Congress cleared a legal path for high-deductible plans to be paired with HSAs in 2003, and so far the new plans account for about 3 percent of the insurance market, according to a study by economists at the Rand Corp. But because they tend to have lower premiums and to allow consumers to accumulate money tax-free, more people would sign up for them as a cost-containment strategy if Bush's proposal were enacted, experts said. The plans would also benefit from shifts from employer-sponsored insurance to the private market, where high-deductible plans are more common.
"It would reinforce HSAs," said McClellan, formerly chief of Medicare. "That's what a lot of people who don't get insurance through their jobs are buying now."
The White House says the proposal would motivate people to seek only the amount of insurance that they really need, helping to control spiraling health-care costs.
"HSAs are a great step in this direction, and this is an even bigger step towards leveling the playing field and removing some of the weird disincentives to getting basic insurance and paying for routine care out of pocket," said Katherine Baicker, a member of the president's Council of Economic Advisers.
Len Burman, director of the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, said that, in leveling the field, the White House should also seek to scrap the HSA tax break, whose purpose is to counter the tax code's current bias toward comprehensive and expensive employer-provided coverage. Under Bush's plan, it would be the only extra tax break for health insurance -- one that would most benefit wealthy people, who can best afford the financial risk of a high-deductible plan and to sock away a lot of money in an HSA.
"It's a really generous tax break," said Burman, whose center is a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. "If the goal is to try to get people to spend less on health care, why subsidize high-deductible health plans over aggressively managed care? People who believe that the market is the solution ought not to be prescribing one particular approach. Just create the right incentives for people to economize . . . and let them pick the option that works best."
Burman said eliminating the HSA tax break would bring in billions of dollars that Bush could put toward the other initiative he proposed this week -- giving states special grants to fund innovative ways of covering the nation's 47 million uninsured.
"This is not just free money just sitting there," he said. "There really is a big opportunity cost."

Northgate School District's annual "Arts Odyssey" held last Friday at the middle-senior high school brought together students from every grade level, along with parents and community residents, all enjoying an evening of activities that ranged from viewing the art to taking in a preview of this year's spring musical, "Cinderella."
The artwork was displayed throughout the entrance hallways, as well as in the art room and in the cafeteria where cabinets, tables and other projects showed off students' skills in wood shop classes.
Following remarks from school superintendent Dr. Caroline Johns, the musical preview was held in the auditorium, along with a "Music in Our Schools" presentation.
Dr. Seuss story time in the library, food booths, a raffle and an auction combined to make an enjoyable Friday evening.
Speaking of the annual event, Joseph Peacock, principal at Avalon Elementary said, "Every year the Fine Arts Committee looks for ways the Arts Odyssey can further engage our school community by showcasing the many talents of our students. Friday night encompassed our entire community as we celebrated the arts in all of our schools. We truly appreciate everyone's ongoing support that continues to make this event a success every year."
Pictured above at right, Design and Build Team members (from l.): Reagan Michalski, Rilea Kenneally Carrie Wynn, Aiyana Hilliard, and Connor Patterson display their creations at the Arts Odyssey. Team adviser Karen Klicker explains, "The Design and Build Team is comprised of 4th-6th grade students who meet after school to creatively solve design challenges using the engineering design process while learning to use a variety of tools and materials."

Yorkshire Day perhaps isn't the best day to share these findings but they tell a different story from the one we're usually told. I also appreciate, since I live here, that whatever they say all the best and brightest live in Yorkshire.
The thing is, however, that some clever folk at the London School of Economics (Gregory Clark, UC Davis and Neil Cummins) have looked at whether the North's relative economic underperformance is about "bad geography" or "bad people". And I hate to be the bringer of bad news but these folks at LSA have analysed surnames, probate records, MPs, doctors and other measures of social status like going to Oxford and discovered that the North's relative problem is down to the best and brightest in every generation heading South. Not just recently but more-or-less since records began (for the purposes of this research that is about 1840).
Our researchers conclude:
The poorer economic and social outcomes in the north of England have two possible sources. The first source is negative economic shocks in the early twentieth century that blighted the traditional industries of the north, and disadvantaged thereafter those born in the north in terms of employment opportunities, education and health. The second source is the selective outmigration of those with greater social status from the north to the south. In this paper we present good evidence in favor of the second interpretation, both using surname evidence and data on individual families.To put it more simply: since about 1870 there has been a net out-migration from the North of England to the South of England and most of the migrants are, for want of a better term, the 'best and brightest'. The often noted regional inequality isn't down to the actions of government but rather to the choices of people.
Holders of surnames concentrated in the north in the 1840s were not disadvantaged in recent years in terms of education, occupation, political power, or wealth compared to the holders of surnames concentrated in the south in the 1840s. Since they are even now disproportionately located in the north any geographic disadvantage of that area would have reduced their social status. Further holders of northern surnames dying in the south were wealthier than holders of southern surnames dying in the south. And in sign that migration to the north was of less advantaged southerners, holders of southern surnames dying in the north were no richer that northern surname holders dying in the north. These northern surnames dying in the north were an adversely selected group, so the southern migrants must also be adversely selected.

Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park
ListenOriginally established in 1830, the Tannehill Ironworks was one of several sites in Alabama that supported the state's booming manufacturing industry during the 19 the century. It was also a key source of ordinance and everyday items, such as pots and skillets, for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Today, the site, which was established as 1,500 acre park in 1971, features the two enormous furnaces built in 1859 and 1863, respectively, and 45 historical buildings that have been restored and moved to the park. These include a 1858 cotton gin house, a residence called the Edwards House, and a replica of a grist mill that was here from 1867 to 1931. In addition to the historical site, there are hiking trails, camping sites, a museum showcasing the history of the iron industry, cabins for rent, a pioneer farm, and picnic areas.
Iron ore was found on Roupes Creek in 1830 by Daniel Hillman, a native of Pennsylvania. He built a forge. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1832. The property was sold to Ninian Tannehill in 1840 to supplement his farming income. In the 1850s, ownership passed on to a man named John Alexander. Slaves, of course, did much of the grunt work, digging up iron ore nearby and brought it to the forge. A tram was eventually built to serve this purpose.
The furnaces seen today were built with sandstone rocks slaves cut and transported to the site. The furnaces were designed by Moses Stroup, who would later build the Oxmoor Furnance in Jefferson County.
The furnaces were in constant operation. At peak use, they could produce 22 tons of iron per day. The fuel for the furnaces were trees; over 3,400 acres of trees in the surrounding area were cut down during the 35 years the ironworks were in operation. All of this came to a fiery end when on March 31, 1865, a contingent of Union soldiers burned down the entire site.

6. cooked Tim's birthday dinner for 12 or so other people.
7. hosted a baby shower.
All this plus I worked 40 hours a week, have a baby that crawls wherever she wants, watched someone else's baby along with Goody on one of my days off (ha!), and you might guess I'm a little worn out. Not too much crafting going on here, which kills me because Christmas is coming up and I had really hoped to craft some hand-made gifts. Maybe I should just start on next year's and I might actually have a doable deadline.
