Sainsbury's has today announced that City & Guilds, the UK's largest provider of vocational education, has formally accredited the high standards of training available at the retailer's six Food Colleges and Bakery College. 20,000 Sainsbury's colleagues from across Britain will attend the Colleges this year making this the largest ever accreditation in the history of City & Guilds.
Gwyn Burr, Sainsbury's Customer Service and Colleague Director, said: "Sainsbury's is absolutely committed to giving all of our colleagues the opportunity to develop and learn new skills despite the challenging climate. This accreditation from City & Guilds is in recognition of the high standards we have set at the Colleges and we can already see how our customers are benefitting from improved service and quality from our newly trained counter colleagues.
"The great food and service available on our counters, bakery and in our cafes is a key part of Sainsbury's heritage and something our customers tell us is important to them."
Sharon Saxton, Group Board Director City & Guilds, said: "We are delighted to be working with Sainsbury's to formally recognise the skills gained through the Food Colleges and Bakery College. City & Guilds is committed to developing and recognising talent through workplace learning."
The Colleges offer training to colleagues working on the meat, fish, deli, hot food counters, bakery and the café. Colleagues enjoy in-depth training from a team of experts that covers product knowledge, knife/preparation skills and practice, sales, customer service and merchandising. Coaching skills are also taught to ensure the training can be cascaded and passed on when colleagues return to their stores.
The six Sainsbury's Food Colleges were opened following the successful opening of Sainsbury's Bakery College in May last year. The Bakery College, located in the Whitworths Mill near Northampton, was an industry first and has halved the amount of time it takes for Sainsbury's bakers to have the skills to produce great products, with some of them completing a Level Two qualification as a result of their time spent there.
The launch of the Food Colleges follows news last year that Sainsbury's was the first ever food retailer to be awarded Gold accreditation by 'Investors in People'. This is the highest possible award and was only granted following interviews with over 2,000 colleagues working in supermarkets, convenience stores, depots and store support centres.
Notes to Editors
Sainsbury's relies on 150,000 colleagues to deliver great service to customers every single day. The company is committed to championing equality, diversity, inclusion and flexible working options for colleagues and remains committed to recruiting, retaining and engaging the best people, from backgrounds that reflect the communities they serve. The company ethos is that every colleague, no matter where they work or the role they perform, should be encouraged to develop and make best use of their skills.

10-day RSI for SPY moved below 30 for the fourth time in 2011. I lowered the look-back period from 14 to 10 to increase sensitivity. RSI became oversold in March, June and now August. Oversold does not guarantee a bounce, but it does increase the odds of at least a dead-cat bounce.

The Family Courts Act, 1984 provides for establishment of Family Courts by the State Governments in consultation with the High Courts with a view to promote conciliation and secure speedy settlement of disputes relating to marriage and family affairs and for matters connected therewith. Under Section 3(1)(a) of the Family Courts Act, it is mandatory for the State Governments to set up a Family Court for every area in the State comprising a city or a town whose population exceeds one million. In other areas of the States, the Family Courts may be set up if the State Governments deems it necessary. Following are the matters which can be filed in the Family Courts-
- Decree for nullity of marriage
- Restitution of Conjugal rights
- Judicial Separation
- Divorce
- Declaration of marital status of any person
- Matrimonial property matters
- Claim of maintenance
- Guardianship
- Custody of children
- Access of children
- Application for injunction in matrimonial matters.
2. A scheme of Central financial assistance was started in 2002-03 for setting of Family Courts. As per the scheme a Non-recurring grant @ Rs. 10 lakh per court is provided by the Department of Justice for setting up of Family Courts. Funds for the purpose are released under the CSS for development of infrastructure facilities for the judiciary.
3. The Parliamentary Committee on Empowerment of Women has recommended that Family Courts may be set up in each district. All the State Governments/UT Administrations have been requested to set up Family Courts in each district. At present 212 Family Courts are reported functional across the country.

WASHINGTON—The Obama administration presented its case for possible military action against Syria to congressional leaders, including evidence from an intercepted phone call involving a high-level Syrian official, which a lawmaker said officials offered as proof of a government chemical-weapons attack.
The evidence was part of a 90-minute, unclassified briefing delivered to the congressional leaders in a conference call Thursday evening.
The administration officials made clear that its focus in Syria was on "preventing [President Bashar] al-Assad from using chemical weapons again," said a Democratic aide briefed on the call.
The administration wasn't deterred by Thursday's vote in the British parliament that prompted the government to drop its own military plans.
"The administration is figuring out the best way to do that and is seeking as much international support as possible, but won't let that dictate what our policy will be," the aide said.
Several lawmakers said they came away from the briefing with a conviction that the Assad regime was behind the attack, but that President Barack Obama must do more to persuade the country military action is needed and to rally international support.
Rep. Eliot Engel (D., N.Y.) said officials told the lawmakers in the call that they had intercepted a phone call from a high-level Syrian official discussing the attacks, which was proof the Assad regime was responsible for the chemical-weapons attack.
Mr. Engel, the senior Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, didn't say whether the officials elaborated on the evidence.
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the U.S. had such evidence, from Israeli spy services that obtained intelligence on a special Syrian unit overseeing Mr. Assad's chemical weapons.
Mr. Engel said in an interview that the administration officials made it clear the U.K. vote wouldn't determine what course of action the U.S. takes.
"The president will make a decision based on what is best for the U.S. and not what other countries would do," Mr. Engel said administration officials said on the call.
He said he agreed with this sentiment. "I don't think the U.K. ought to have a veto on what the U.S. does or doesn't do," he said.
In a statement after the briefing, Sen. Carl Levin (D., Mich.), the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, called for a continuing effort to win international support for strikes against the Assad regime.
"I have previously called for the U.S. to work with our friends and allies to increase the military pressure on the Assad regime by providing lethal aid to vetted elements of the Syrian opposition," Mr. Levin said. "Tonight, I suggested that we should do so while UN inspectors complete their work and while we seek international support for limited, targeted strikes in response to the Assad regime's large-scale use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people."
Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.), the senior Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he opposed deploying American troops in Syria but would support "surgical, proportional military strikes, given the strong evidence of the Assad regime's continued use of chemical warfare."
He said he welcomed the consultation with key lawmakers in Congress, but said the administration would be "far better off if they seek authorization based upon our national interests, which would provide the kind of public debate and legitimacy that can only come from Congress."
Sen. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.), the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement that the briefing by the administration "reaffirmed for me that a decisive and consequential U.S. response is justified and warranted to protect Syrians, as well to send a global message that chemical-weapons attacks in violation of international law will not stand."
Congressional leaders on the call heard from Secretary of State John Kerry, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Navy Adm. James A. Winnefeld Jr., the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Unease among members of Congress about the prospect of U.S. involvement in a new military conflict in the Middle East continued to escalate on Thursday.
The numbers of lawmakers signing a letter to Mr. Obama calling on him to subject any potential military action to an authorization vote by Congress increased Thursday to 137 signatories, up from 116 on Wednesday.

An Overview-FAQ for Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design
Theistic Evolution - Is it Christian? (evolution & theology)
During many lively " Monday and Tuesday " debates, I've heard good arguments by proponents and opponents of theistic evolution explaining why it is and isn't theologically acceptable. My views , held with humility, are that probably God miraculously created the first life, and occasionally used miraculous-appearing modifications of existing genetic material during a long evolutionary history that included full common descent. But if God created by a process that was totally natural, of course this would be fine with me, and we should praise God for his wonderfully clever design of nature that allowed this to occur.
Adam, Eve, and Evolution | Catholic Answers
The controversy surrounding evolution touches on our most central beliefs about ourselves and the world. Evolutionary theories have been used to answer questions about the origins of the universe, life, and man. These may be referred to as cosmological evolution, biological evolution, and human evolution. One's opinion concerning one of these areas does not dictate what one believes concerning others. People usually take three basic positions on the origins of the cosmos, life, and man: (1) special or instantaneous creation, (2) developmental creation or theistic evolution, (3) and atheistic evolution.

Theistic Evolution - Perspectives
2. Geocentrism Geocentrism is a belief that the sun rotates around the earth, which is itself at the center of the universe. Like Flat Earthism, this is based on a literal interpretation of certain biblical passages, particularly the following ( from www.bible.com ): Joshua 10: 12-13: " Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
ALL VIEWPOINTS: One Site. All Sides.
Theistic evolution
Theistic evolution or evolutionary creation is a concept that asserts that classical religious teachings about God are compatible with the modern scientific understanding about biological evolution . In short, theistic evolutionists believe that there is a God , that God is the creator of the material universe and (by consequence) all life within, and that biological evolution is simply a natural process within that creation. Evolution, according to this view, is simply a tool that God employed to develop human life . According to the American Scientific Affiliation , a Christian organization of scientists:

I sit down to write you a few lines this morning as I am loth the post should go, without telling you that I am well, as usual. Suppose you will be more anxious for me this month than common. I shall write as often and as long as I am able, tho I do not expect that it will be more than two or 3 weeks more at furthest. You will not fail writing me by every opportunity, receiving Letters once a week from you serves to keep up my Spirits and cheer my Heart, which of late does not feel the gayest. I rejoice to find by your last that your Health is better. I should have known it from the stile of your Letter if you had not told me so. The dates run june the 2d [John to Abigail, 02 June 1777] , 4th [John to Abigail, 04 June 1777] and 8th [John to Abigail, 08 June 1777] . Since I wrote last we have had frequent reports of How's sitting out for Philadelphia. I have not been very uneasy about it. I confess I had rather He should make a visit to you than to me, at this time, more especially since you seem so desirous of it. Our last accounts are of a Skirmish in Brunswick and the burning of that Town and of the Troops retreat to Amboy. I think they make no valient appearence this season.-- We have an other account from Halifax, that the Govener there has orderd every House to be cleard and Barrack for that he expects them there immediately.
Yesterday our Tories so calld appeard in Boston to be tried before the worshipfull justices Q--y [Quincy] and Hill; they had engaged counsel Mr. T -- r, who soon let the Court know that Mr. Q -- y was not qualified to try them as he had never taken the oath since the declaration of independance, and that the recognisances were not signed -- so they all marchd back again.
They are pretty much netled and fear being sent on board the guard ship. Seven are condemnd at Bridgwater.
As to Goverment I can not tell you more than G-n. [General] W--n [Warren] has wrote you. I hope in time we shall be able to sit down quietly -- am sorry to see so much bickering about it in Pensilvana.
You inquire how our season is here. We have had a very fine one rather the coldest. There is a prospect of good crops of Grass and Grain. The fruit will suffer much by the frosts. Not much cider I fear.
Pray write to Dr. T--s [Tufts] by the first opportunity. Our young ones are all well. We have enjoyd great Health since the small pox, for which we cannot be sufficently thankfull. Tis very Healthy every where. We have had a vast deal of thunder and lightning this Summer.

The Kustom HV100 tube/hybrid combo amplifier has 2 channels, each with gain and master volume controls. This Dual Master system lets players easily get natural tube overdrive and compression on the rhythm channel as well as the lead channel, for even more tonal options. The amp's EQ consists of passive bass, middle and treble controls that have the same specifications as Kustom's award-winning, all-tube Coupe amplifiers. The HV100's speaker-emulated direct out and variable volume boost controls are also borrowed from the Coupe.
An all new 24-bit digital multi-effects system has been created exclusively for the Kustom HV. It offers 16 high-fidelity, programmable effects with increased flexibility thanks to "Tap" or "Toggle" functions for each effect, letting players fine tune their choices. For example, Delay times, Reverb tails and Tremolo speeds can all be tapped to desired settings. Alternately, the Spring Reverb effect can be toggled between three different tonal selections reminiscent of the Coupe reverb; the Rotary Speaker can be ramped between speeds; and the Octave selection can be toggled to choose Octave Up or Octave Down. In all, the new HV100 multi-effects system provides stunning effects with unsurpassed flexibility, but without undue complexity.
New cabinet construction methods have been developed to enhance the resonance and musicality of the HV100 amplifier. In addition to crafting the cabinet to flex in response to the sound pressure, the electronic chassis is mounted in a way that doesn't impede the ability of the cabinet to resonate properly, an often overlooked element in the production of good tone.
The powerful Kustom HV100 combines 100 watts with two 12" Celestions. Visually, the HV100 sports vents on the top panel and a cool, rear-panel cutaway with mesh screen to view the preamp tube inside the chassis. Other details include new die-cast Kustom logos, jet-black grille cloth, white piping and black leather handles.
The Kustom HV100 Combo uses an exclusive new preamp circuit developed by James Brown, acclaimed amplifier designer and Kustom's chief engineer. The HV Series' preamp combines a 12AX7 tube - known for it's robust tonal qualities - with solid-state circuitry known for it's consistency and reliability.

The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children.
If the wind calls at night, you must not listen.The wind is lonely, and always looking for company.And there are no strangers in the town of Near.
These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life.
But when an actual stranger—a boy who seems to fade like smoke—appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true.
The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. Still, he insists on helping Lexi search for them. Something tells her she can trust him.
As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to know—about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy.
This book really caught my attention from page one. There is something beautifully eerie about what is going on in this book. I have to say that this book made me fall completely for Victoria Schwab's writing. You get the feeling while you're reading that every word, every sentence was so carefully chosen, to give you the desire experience. The world simply sucks you in, as the description easily bring everything to life,
I really liked the characters, especially Lexi. She was ready to whatever she though was right to do, so she could save the children. It didn't matter that everyone around her forbid her to do anything. She had to do it. She was one of the rare characters that looked like they were really trying to save them instead of simply pointing fingers. Of course, I can't forget about Cole. I love their interaction; there was such a great balance between the personalities of those two characters. The was enough mystery about Cole to keep me intrigued in who he really was, and made me curious as to what's to come. There is something a little haunting about him; it simply makes him that much more addicting.
The novel is simply addicting. There's this fairy tale vibe going on that is so intriguing. After all, not that many novels can give you the feeling of being one of those fairy tales we grew up it. Even the books inspired by fairy tales don't always have the vibe that can be so addicting. Of course, the writing has a lot to do with my love for this book. There are few books that really make me fall in love with the words as much as the story, and this one is one. I'm already dying to read more from her. If you're looking for a haunting modern fairy tale, this one is for you.

I hear all the time from people wanting their golf game to improve. People complaining that their score just isn't getting better. We all want to get better at golf. We want the low scores, and we want to be able to do it like the pros on TV. We wonder what we are doing wrong, why we aren't getting better. I'm going to let you in on a little secret…we don't play enough.
Most of us are weekend/once a month players. We don't get on the course enough, and we definitely don't go to the range and practice enough. We can't expect greatness from mediocrity. To get better you have to practice better, and to practice better you have to practice right. To practice right you have to practice more.
So let's get to practicing more. You have to set aside time for golf. With this you have to get your priorities in order. If you have responsibilities like a family or career that takes up most of your time then you have to realize it will take longer. Don't take time from your family to play golf. Trust me…your family is very important. Golf is just a game that in the end will leave you empty. Your family should be your priority. If you have time on your hands and want your golf game to improve then you need to get on the range. You don't get better sitting on the couch. Get out there and practice.
Next you need to practice right. Get lessons, video your swing, and practice approaches. Video taping your swing will show your mistakes so you can correct them. Practice approach shots. Aim your shots, and try to place your shots. Don't go to the range and just hit the ball. You gain nothing from that so learn to put it where you want it. Learn why you do what you do in your swing that is right. This is so you gain confidence. Practice your wedge shots and putting. Doing these over and over again will gain muscle memory. That is what will help you in the later part of a round when you get fatigued. Do these things and you will get better.
Doing these things will greatly improve your game and lower your scores. Don't expect overnight success, these things take time. Don't get discouraged! This is a game after all. When it is all said and done, you started playing this game because it is fun. So keep it fun and enjoy it!

To realize the targets that we have set ourselves, we procure the majority of services and materials through contracts and purchase orders with external companies. This section of our web site is targeted at companies that would like to undertake business with us. It outlines how we undertake our contracting and procurement activities and also offers guidance to our current suppliers.
For the procurement of services and materials, we mainly use the process of competitive tendering. In summary, after the internal steps of specifying the required services or materials, this process consists of:
This is the process by which we find a large number of suppliers that can do the work or deliver the materials required. The first point of call for this is our vendor database where information on all registered / qualified vendors is stored. For more information on how we gather this information or for information on how a supplier can become registered in this database, please view vendor registration.
This is the process by which we pre-qualify the long list of vendors to confirm they are able to do the work and deliver the goods according to the standards that we require. Companies that have already qualified for a certain type of work or material with us might be pre-qualified straight away. Sometimes also for these companies, due to the specific nature of the requirement at hand, additional questions may have to be answered. The result of this process is a short list of suppliers that will be invited to participate in the tendering process.
Our contracting department will send the ITT to the short-listed suppliers (now called tenderers or bidders). This package has details of our requirements, as well as instructions on how to complete the bid for the work.
Any queries that bidders might have about the ITT can be sent to us for consideration. The question and the answer will then be sent back to all suppliers that are bidding for the work in the form of a tender bulletin. This ensures that all bidders have the same information on which to base their tender. No direct communication between our organisation and suppliers is allowed during this period on the tender subject.
When the tenderers have completed the ITT, they return their bid to us before the deadline that is set in the ITT. By submitting a compliant ITT, the bidder accepts the terms and conditions as sent out with the ITT, unless qualifications are made in the submission by the tenderer.
We then evaluate the bids and make a decision on which offer is considered to be the best. Price plays an important role, but we do not always award to the lowest bidder. Factors such as quality, HSE competence and timing are also key considerations.
After this the contract will be awarded on the terms as sent out by us in the ITT.
In order to register your interest in the tenders and confirm your willingness to perform the works, please submit a free-format letter in Russian or English by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com

More copies of this ISBNOogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Loveby Larry Levin
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In the bestselling tradition of Rescuing Sprite comes the story of a puppy brought back from the brink of death, and the family he adopted.
In 2002, Larry Levin and his twin sons, Dan and Noah, took their terminally ill cat to the Ardmore Animal Hospital outside Philadelphia to have the beloved pet put to sleep. What would begin as a terrible day suddenly got brighter as the ugliest dog they had ever seen--one who was missing an ear and had half his face covered in scar tissue--ran up to them and captured their hearts. The dog had been used as bait for fighting dogs when he was just a few months old. He had been thrown in a cage and left to die until the police rescued him and the staff at Ardmore Animal Hospital saved his life. The Levins, whose sons are themselves adopted, were unable to resist Oogy's charms, and decided to take him home. Heartwarming and redemptive, OOGY is the story of the people who were determined to rescue this dog against all odds, and of the family who took him home, named him Oogy (an affectionate derivative of ugly), and made him one of their own. Review:"Attorney Levin shares the by turns horrifying and heartwarming story of Oogy, his gentle pit bull who went from brutalized bait for fighting dogs to beloved family member and therapy dog. The four-month-old pup was discovered near death: maimed, missing an ear and half his face, with numerous other life-threatening injuries. A kindly animal hospital worker marveled at his sweetness despite his intense suffering and persuaded the shelter not to euthanize him. Oogy finds a home with the author, his wife, and their twin sons--both adopted--and the puppy's hijinks (eating homework, opening and raiding the fridge and pantry) ensue. As remarkable in spirit as he is distinctive in appearance, the extraordinary Oogy receives a hero's biography from adoring Levin, who both recognizes himself in and feels rescued from the grip of his own childhood traumas by his indomitable companion's capacity to survive. (Nov.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
Synopsis:What would begin as a terrible day for Levin and his sons suddenly got brighter as the ugliest dog they had ever seen--one who was missing an ear and had half his face covered in scar tissue--ran up to them in a vet's office and captured their hearts.

Winter "Wonder"-land
There's a saying us Michigan folk have regarding the weather: "If you don't like the weather now, wait 24 hours - it will be completely different!"
The past 24 hrs have been no exception. We awoke yesterday to freshly fallen snow, by the afternoon thunderstorms moved in, complete with rain showers and 1/2" hail, which gave way to sleet. Today offered sunshine and blue skies, with strong bitter north winds this evening. Tomorrow promises temps near zero and windchills down to -20 degrees.
Anyone want to come visit us?? Bring your sense of humor!

For other lifting air bags click here
These cylinder lift bags are manufactured to the customers requirements meeting most weight, temperature, and chemical requirements. They can be inflated with air, an inert gas or liquid.
These lift bags have been used to lift, pull, and align tubes, pipes, transformers, and other types of equipment.
They are not to be used for lifting over any personnel or where their failure would cause significant damage.
Call or send an email to let us quote an item that meets your specific requirements. Many configurations are available.
Inflatable Lift Cylinder Warning: NEVER lift a load over a person or an object that could be damaged if the load is lost for any reason. NEVER inflate with a pressure greater than the Lift Cylinder rating or the capacity of the cylinder being lifted. The Lift Cylinder pressure rating assumes it will be supported on the entire inflated length. Maximum inflation pressure and lift loads are only estimates and slippage may be influenced by many factors including wet surfaces, coefficient friction, accuracy of pressure gauges, etc. The inflation pressure must be tested on the actual load.
The successes we both have had in designing and building equipment to meet the special requirements of our customers has been very rewarding. I appreciate everything you have done to make this possible. The personal relationship we have developed has been very important and meaningful to me. I have very high regard for your analytical and problem solving ability in achieving an objective and creating solutions to problems.

A federal judge in the Southern District of Texas recently ruled that the oil and gas spar platform on which plaintiff Jerry Riley was injured was not a vessel. Riley alleged injury to his spine while testing one of the platform's life vessels. He brought claims against his employer and the owner of the spar under the Jones Act and general maritime law. The defendants moved for summary judgment, arguing that Riley's Jones Act claims were barred because the platform was not vessel. The court analyzed the characteristics of the platform, noting that it was assembled onsite, had no steering mechanism, no system of self-propulsion, and no raked bow. It was intended to be used at its location for 25 years and was moored to the seabed by eleven mooring lines. The platform was connected to two pipelines that transport natural gas and oil. It was capable of limited movement within an approximately 200-foot radius but had not moved in four years.
The court held that the platform was a permanent structure attached to the seabed and was not practically capable of transportation. It was, therefore, not a vessel and Riley was not a seaman under the Jones Act. Riley's general maritime law claims of unseaworthiness and negligence against the platform owner were also foreclosed because the platform was not a vessel and construction work on fixed offshore platforms does not bear a significant relationship to traditional maritime activity. Finally, Riley's claims against his employer were also barred as the LWHCA provided his exclusive remedy.

Health reform without a mandate: Lessons from WA
The Washington Post, June 19, 2012
In 1993, Washington also passed a law both guaranteeing all residents access to private health insurance, regardless of their health status, and requiring Washingtonians to purchase coverage. The state legislature, however, repealed that last provision two years later. With the guaranteed access provisions still standing, the state saw premiums rise and enrollment drop, as residents only purchased coverage when they needed it. Health insurers fled the state and, by 1999, it was impossible to buy an individual plan in Washington—no company was selling. Washington state is among a handful of states that have pursued universal access to health insurance.

Tigers Take Series from Stormy Petrels with 10-3 Win
April 3, 2011
April 3, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — DePauw improved to 10-15 overall and 2-4 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference after a 10-3 win over visiting Oglethorpe in the final game of a three-game series. The Stormy Petrels dropped to 14-12 overall and 4-4 in SCAC play.
Oglethorpe jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first as Jeff Pope led off with a single and moved to second on a stolen base. Matt Cornwell followed with a run-scoring single. Brendan Pilger walked and Jeff Brothers singled to load the bases. Cory Leff hit into a double play which allowed Cornwell to score.
DePauw countered in the bottom of the first as Ben Gardner led off with a single and moved to second on Sam Swafford's sacrifice bunt. Rob McPike was hit by a pitch before Jason Cohen followed with a triple which tied the score. Alex Wright lifted a sacrifice fly to right plating Cohen and Zach Galyean added a solo homer to left center to make it 4-2.
Andy Farrey and Ryan Grau singled in the second and advanced on Jake Spear's sacrifice bunt. Pope followed with a grounder which scored Farrey.
The Tigers grabbed a 6-3 lead in the second as Gardner led off with a triple and scored on Swafford's single. Swafford moved up to second after an error on the play, advanced to third on McPike's bunt and scored when Cohen reached on an error.
DePauw added another in the fourth as Galyean led off with a double and came home on Robbie Stein's single. The Tigers extended the lead to 10-3 in the sixth as Gardner reached second on a fielding error and later scored on Cohen's double. Wright knocked in Cohen with a single and later scored when Berlyn reached on an error with the bases loaded.
DePauw totaled 14 hits led by Stein's four, while Cohen had three. Gardner and Galyean each added a pair and Gardner extended his streak of reaching base to all 25 games this season.
Pope, Brothers and Grau each had two of the Stormy Petrels' nine hits.
Andy Manson improved to 2-1 with the win, while Mark Hoban dropped to 2-2.
DePauw returns to action on Wednesday, April 6, with a 6 p.m. game at Rose-Hulman.

Aliases (1901-1920): "Vivian"
From an early age, Whittaker Chambers had names imposed upon him. His mother, Laha Whittaker Chambers, named him "Jay Vivian Chambers." Of the name "Vivian" he wrote:
It would have been hard to go farther afield for a more unsuitable name. I loathed the name. I determined that as soon as I was able, I would take any other name in preference to it. (Witness p. 92)
His father, James A. Chambers ("Jay Chambers"), got even with Laha by nicknaming the boy "Beadle" (Witness, p. 97).
Running away from home in 1919, he took the name "Charles Adams" (Witness, p. 152). He took a job in 1920 under the name of his maternal grandfather, "Charles Whittaker" at the Frank Seaman Company, a New York advertising firm where E. B. White also worked (Witness, p. 163, and New Yorker).
Aliases (1920-1961): "Whittaker"
After a month at Williams College in the Fall of 1920, Chambers returned to New York and enrolled at Columbia University under the name "Whittaker Chambers." He lived openly under this name for more than a decade. He used it to register in the open American Communist Party in 1925 again as "Whittaker Chambers," against current convention (Witness, pp. 206-7).
However, in 1922 when publishing the radical, "profanist" playlet called "A Play for Puppets," he used the pen name "John Kelley."
"Whittaker Chambers" was the name he used when translating books (including Felix Salten's Bambi–later made into an animated cartoon feature movie by Disney) and when publishing in The Daily Worker and The New Masses (except for occasional poems).
In 1932, all that changed when "Comrade Chambers" (Witness, p. 275) went underground. At first, he received the name "Bob" (Witness, pp. 282, 294). Later, he was also "Carl" and "Eugene" (Witness, p. 285). For an operation in England that never got off the ground, he became "David Breen" and when renting an apartment in Baltimore "Lloyd Cantwell" (Witness, p. 356, 357). In Washington, DC, "I was introduced to all the underground Communists simply as 'Carl'" (Witness, p. 348) and "Carl Carlsen" (Tanenhaus, p. 371).
In 1933, Chambers published a book review in The New Republic under the pseudonym "Hugh Jones." Later, while at TIME, he published book reviews in The American Mercury under the alias "John Land."
Alger Hiss claimed to know Chambers as George Crosley — but Hiss is the only person who ever testified about that name.
Over the years, Chambers also used pseudonyms when publications other than the one to which he was currently attached. Thus, for The American Mercury he wrote at "Luke Limestone" and "John Land."
When he became a Quaker in 1941, Chambers took the name "David."
At his death, his name was officially Jay David Whittaker Chambers, "Whit" to close friends, and "Whittaker Chambers" on paper.

Spring 3.0 M1 breaks Maven projects
I've been using Spring extensively for a couple of months now and I must say I really enjoy it. Since we have a RESTful web service at work, I wanted to test that latest REST integration in Spring 3.0 M1 as it was presented at Devoxx.
My first surprise was actually that it was quite hard to find this milestone release on any Maven repository so I had a look to the downloadable bundle (after all, I could use the big spring.jar file). No big spring.jar file but a bunch of jar files with weird names, like org.springframework.core.jar (wtf?).
The first entry in the 3.0 M1 changelog as announced here is
revised project layout and build system with module-based sources
Well, the new repository structure looks weird to me but it has a really nasty side effect: all artifactIds have changed (yes!). Have a look to the Maven repository view yourself.
I am a bit confused here. Either the SpringSource guys have decided to really break this in 3.0 because they wanted to harmonize it somehow (I still don't get what it brings if you are not in the process of using OSGi) or they have no idea how Maven works. I hope it is the second case and we will be able to let them know the chaos that users will experience with existing user projects if we keep this.
The obvious first problem is that all Maven poms should accommodate the names change which is annoying but not that much. However, the transitive dependencies mechanism of Maven will not detect a version conflict of the Spring framework anymore! Say that you have an old/stable module that relies on Spring 2.0. This module uses some stable Spring API at runtime and you are actually using it in a Spring 2.5 container in the final project. If you upgrade this project to 3.0 M1, you will end up with both Spring 2.0 and Spring 3.0 M1 in your classpath! Pretty scarry… You could obviously use the optional flag in the maven dependencies but since Maven does a good job of resolving the version conflict for us, most users have not chosen this approach.
All in all, cast your vote here please!

Hi Stephnie,
I am also evaluating REST support in spring 3.0, but could not proceed much as I could not found any documentation that how REST will be implemented in Spring 3.0.
If you can mail me the guidelines, that will be great.
Thanks in advance.

Comment posted on Scottish Power Renewables announces another delay for proposed Tiree Array by Malcolm Kirk
Webcraft – you lied a while back when you attributed some nonsense you'd made up – to me – and I had to warn you to be careful. I have given you the website connection ( 18 above) to a very clear explanation of why we consider Patrick Harvie lied twice. In fact I have added so much info to this forum in the last 24 hours and not one of you has offered a reasoned detailed debate – all you do is get personal. Incidentally probably one of the most knowledgeably persons there on Wednesday was Graham Lang who I would like to call ' a wise old head' with the greatest respect. He pointed out he had listened, read, gone to meetings, viewed videos – in fact obviously gone very deeply into the pros and cons of Global Warming – his view is that the 'Jury is still out' and that's my view.
Malcolm Kirk also commented
- Yet another well thought out, reasoned, reply from Webcraft
- I offered you the connection to iplayer so you could watch the debate. The most reasoned and plain speaking person there was Donald Trump – there was no arrogance. If you can get over your bitterness, watch the recording – start at 20minutes in.What Mr Trump said in answer to Chic Brodie was – and I'll shorten it ( my tea's ready) but not miss the salient points ' I am an expert on tourism – I have won many awards – my golf clubs are rated the best in the world – I have 5 star and even 6 star ratings – I am an expert in tourism ' What in hell's name is wrong with that ? ? Ok – I see – he's an American.
- Wood chip is about 90% of the cost of my present oil burner but the cost of changing over is not worthwhile. I am surprised that no mention was made of the fact that the CO2 created by burning wood just puts back into the atmosphere the CO2 the tree absorbed whilst growing. At least that's what they say. However,the major arrogance and attitude on Wednesday in Edinburgh came from MSP Patrick Harvie who not only offered his untruths to the whole committee and media but repeated them on telly later that evening. As I can't attach a picture here I give you:- http://www.windfarms.me.uk/wind6.html
PS The illustration is cm perfect for scale
- Alien Energy – is that what you're producing ? Sorry Tim looked at all alternatives – had wood burners etc in the past – just have to bite the bullet of the heating oil thing.
- Tim – there's an awful lot above that you haven't commented on !
Many moons ago it was made clear that Mr Trump would not be donating money to CATS. It was a thought at one time but a little research by their accusers would have shown that not to be possible – but for the said MSPs the headline was more important than the facts. As far as fuel poverty is concerned Tim – I and my wife are living on a pension of about two thirds of what we had a few years ago because of the recession, as are probably most people of our age who saved hard for their retirement. I again need 1000 litres of heating oil even though we have been careful how we use it. The last 1000 litres bought just 3 months ago cost £690. We are not poor as such but I think we could be included in the general title of 'fuel poverty ' with everybody else, as it now costs such an increased proportion of income to fill the tank. ( Anyone have Donald's address – I might need a loan) ! The comment about Mr Trump buying Rangers was indeed an aside to break the tension of the morning. Would he be Scotland's favourite son however if he had said yes ?

On the Serviceableness of InstinctsThe proof of the fact that only two avenues of approach are available for human research, causality or teleology, is provided by the problems raised in reference to the serviceableness of instincts. There are types of behavior which on the one hand cannot be thoroughly interpreted with the casual methods of the natural sciences, but on the other hand cannot be considered as purposeful human action. In order to grasp such behavior we are forced to resort to a makeshift. We assign to it the character of a quasi-action; we speak of serviceable instincts. We observe two things: first the inherent tendency of a living organism to respond to a stimulus according to a regular pattern, and second the favorable effects of this kind of behavior for the strengthening or preservation of the organism's vital forces. If we were in a position to interpret such behavior as the outcome of purposeful aiming at certain ends, we would call it action and deal with it according to the teleological methods of praxeology. But as we found no trace of a conscious mind behind this behavior, we suppose that an unknown factor—we call it instinct —was instrumental. We say that the instinct directs quasi-purposeful animal behavior and unconscious but nonetheless serviceable responses of human muscles and nerves. Yet, the mere fact that we hypostatize the unexplained element of this behavior as a force and call it instinct does not enlarge our knowledge. We must never forget that this word instinct is nothing but a landmark to indicate a point beyond which we are unable, up to the present at least, to carry our scientific scrutiny. Biology has succeeded in discovering a "natural," i.e., mechanistic, explanation for many processes which in earlier days were attributed to the operation of instincts. Nonetheless many others have remained which cannot be interpreted as mechanical or chemical responses to mechanical or chemical stimuli. Animals display attitudes which cannot be comprehended otherwise than through the assumption that a directing factor was operative. The aim of behaviorism to study human action from without with the methods of animal psychology is illusory. As far as animal behavior goes beyond mere physiological processes like breathing and metabolism, it can only be investigated with the aid of the meaning-concepts developed by praxeology. The behaviorist approaches the object of his investigations with the human notions of purpose and success. He unwittingly applies to the subject matter of his studies the human concepts of serviceableness and perniciousness. He deceives himself in excluding all verbal reference to consciousness and aiming at ends. In fact his mind searches everywhere for ends and measures every attitude with the yardstick of a garbled notion of serviceableness. The science of human behavior—as far as it is not physiology—cannot abandon reference to meaning and purpose. It cannot learn anything from animal psychology and the observation of the unconscious reactions of newborn infants. It is, on the contrary, animal psychology and infant psychology which cannot renounce the aid afforded by the science of human action. Without praxeological categories we would be at a loss to conceive and to understand the behavior both of animals and of infants. The observation of the instinctive behavior of animals fills man with astonishment and raises questions which nobody can answer satisfactorily. Yet the fact that animals and even plants react in a quasi-purposeful way is neither more nor less miraculous than that man thinks and acts, that in the inorganic universe those functional correspondences prevail which physics describes, and that in the organic universe biological processes occur. All this is miraculous in the sense that it is an ultimate given for our searching mind. Such an ultimate given is also what we call animal instinct. Like the concepts of motion, force, life, and consciousness, the concept of instinct too is merely a term to signify an ultimate given. To be sure, it neither "explains" anything nor indicates a cause or an ultimate cause.10 [10. ]"La vie est une cause première qui nous échappe comme toutes les causes premières et dont la science expérimentale n'a pas à se préoccuper."

[Life is a first cause which eludes us, as all first causes do, and with which experimental science does not have to concern itself.] |

Eline Entertainment Group, Inc. (PINK SHEETS:EEGI) subsidiary Let The Good Times Roll, Inc. is pleased to announce a joint venture with the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
This new incentivized agreement with provides LTGTR riders with $25-$35 in gaming chips and a $5 food voucher when booked for the Hard Rock Casino. LTGTR, will experiment and plans to start running shuttles to the Hard Rock, charging $25-30 for round trip services. The deal is conditionally approved and subject to pending insurance verification. The company sees this as a simple administrative task, and to be resolved shortly.
Preliminary research shows strong support with the company running 14 casino runs a week, with each shuttle generating an average of $750 in revenue with 60-70% in gross profit.
"We are looking at creative ways to keep the buses on the road. As they are running not only are they generating revenue but they are advertising. If you are running a bus during the day for Hard Rock shuttles and then booking nightly runs at Gross Profit Margins of 70% you are doing very well.
We are very excited with the Vu365 merger which helps our plans with the college shuttle program and also will introduce the Vu365 to a new gaming audience. We had extremely favorable talks with Vu365 and believe they can help us extensively with our unique programming needs, and we can help them bring Vu365 gaming to an American audience. This is a win/win for LTGTR, Vu365 and the shareholders of EEGI," Debra Davis President of LTGTR.
