We all wondered who would light the torch - and in the end the organisers sprang a surprise as seven teenage athletes lit copper petals - brought in by each of the 204 countries - which converged in spectacular fashion to form the cauldron in the middle of the Olympic Stadium.
Outside the fireworks were equally impressive and could be seen for miles.
Sir Steve Redgrave, five-time gold medallist was the champion chosen to conclude the torch's 8,000-mile journey round Britain, but there was no doubting the night's biggest star, local boy David Beckham, who transported the flame by speedboat under Tower Bridge to the stadium.
It was the coolest moment of an amazing show.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH - They say she is the woman who had a house fall on her - and survived.
"I'm so happy to be alive. I shouldn't be," Laura Lee Sheehan says while sitting in her fourth floor hospital room.
Laura Lee has spent 145 days in the University of Utah Health Care Burn Unit. Actually, it's 145.6 to be exact, according to her mother, Lisa. Today, Jan. 26, she was finally able to leave and return home to Montana.
Laura Lee was burned over 67% over her body after the house where she lived in Harrison exploded on Sept. 2, 2012. She suffered second and third degree burns all over her body as well as broken bones and other internal injuries that have made her hospital stay even longer.
While she has fought for her life in a Salt Lake City hospital, she has inspired thousands of people, including the staff members who have taken care of her. A Facebook page, Supporting Laura Lee Sheehan, allows 3,530 followers to stay up-to-date on her progress. In her hospital room was a panoramic photo taken outside the Pony Bar where she bartended. In the photo are dozens of people who turned out to snap a photo to send to Laura Lee to show their support.
The photo was one of the many items packed up and trucked back to Montana today. That, along with a Christmas tree, decorations, pictures, a George Strait cardboard cut-out, a mini fridge and other things, helped to make the small, sterile room a little homier.
Many believe it is Laura Lee's strength, her attitude, her spirit that has kept her alive. She is a fighter. It's clear that for her, there is no other way.
For Laura Lee, today was a bittersweet day. She was saying goodbye to the people who saved her.
She ended up leaving the cut-out of George Strait at the University of Utah Health Care Burn Unit as a gift for the doctors and nurses and others who helped her along this journey. On it, she wrote a short note: "Thank you for saving my life! Love, Laura Lee." It's a little something to remember her by, as if they could ever forget her.
Later that day, after the goodbyes and promises from nurses who plan to come to Pony to visit her this summer, Laura Lee boarded a plane and flew to Butte before driving back to Bozeman to stay with her mother.
Laura Lee is now back in Montana, ready to start the next chapter of her life as a survivor.
(Follow Laura Lee's story on KBZK over the next week as we visit with Laura Lee on her last days at University of Utah Health Care and talk to her as well as the doctors and nurses, her friends and her family.)

From the moment Tom learned to walk, he was out chasing butterflies. He says his passion for the outdoors was something he was born with.
When he was young, Tom collected and studied butterflies in Massachusetts, where he was born. After obtaining undergraduate and master's degrees from the University of Maine in entomology and wildlife, Tom accepted a position as a research biologist for the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources until his recent retirement. He studied big game animals, especially black bears, and also butterflies. He's written two books—one about butterflies and caterpillars in West Virginia; another about caterpillars across North America.
Now living in Florida, Tom continues researching and studying nature with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Tom also teaches an environmental course at Edison College in Fort Myers. He joined the staff of Birds & Blooms EXTRA as a contributing editor for its launch in March 2005.
In his free time, Tom enjoys working in his backyard butterfly garden. "There's always a lot of work to be done in my yard," Tom says.
An active participant in the Florida Yards and Neighborhoods program, Tom's yard serves as a model backyard butterfly habitat.
Tom says the trick to attracting butterflies is to think in terms of their life cycle.
"You have to provide nectar for the butterflies and a host for the caterpillar," Tom says. "That's the key to continuous populations of butterflies."

667 wheel horsepower is a hell of a lot of power especially from a relatively small 2.5 liter inline-5 motor. APR showed us 604 wheel horsepower from the Stage III package with the Garrett GTX35R turbocharger but that was at all four wheels. These numbers are slightly misleading at least for the uninformed as 667 wheel horsepower was hit on a Dynapack hub dyno but with the power routed only for the front two wheels. ...Published on 12-09-2013 04:41 PM
So you might have heard of a little race called Le Mans that is 24 hours long and takes place in France. Well, Audi has dominated this race this past decade to put it mildly. They have won the last four 24 Hour of Le Mans races and twelve of the last fourteen. Audi has a total of twelve victories putting them in second place behind... sibling Porsche who has sixteen victories. Porsche intends to keep their lead announcing back in 2011 they are returning to Le Mans with an LMP1 effort to challenge for the overall title. ...Published on 12-09-2013 02:21 AM
MRC Tuning does not get as much attention as it deserves at least in the USA likely because it is based overseas in the UK. They are one of world's premier Audi tuners though doing all kinds of interesting projects such as a single turbo Audi R8 4.2 which to this point nobody else has done. They also have won the Audi Driver Audi Tuner Gold Award in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. So, yes, they are kind of a big deal. ...Published on 12-06-2013 10:23 PM
The Detroit Auto Show is coming up and Audi is set to reveal a new concept at the show. They have previewed this concept with the renderings and press release you will see below. Is this the Audi Q1? Back in October AudiBoost reported that a Q1 was on the way so this seems to be the concept to preview the new entry level SUV in the Audi lineup. With Audi choosing to have this concept debut in the USA it would seem they are aiming at the SUV obsessed North American market. ...Published on 11-30-2013 04:17 AM
Finally some test figures for the new Audi SQ5 equipped with the 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 in a 354 horse and 347 pound-feet of torque state of tune. Now, this is the same motor in the base Q5 although in 3.0 TFSI in the regular Q5 is set to 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The Q5 in 3.0 TFSI trim runs the 1/4 mile in firstname.lastname@example.com miles per hour. The SQ5 is definitely quicker with a firstname.lastname@example.com 1/4 mile time. ...Published on 11-26-2013 09:12 PM
110-130 pounds may not sound like a lot of weight to lose but keep in mind the current R8 chassis is already made of lightweight aluminum. Weight saving is the area German automakers are really starting to seriously focus on and it is a good thing to see from Audi whose cars have historically been quite heavy. The R8 is based on the Gallardo yet the R8 carries a weight penalty versus its Lamborghini cousin of several hundred pounds. ...Published on 11-16-2013 07:05 PM
Ah the venerable Audi 1.8T. A relatively small turbocharged four-cylinder but easily upgraded and can definitely put out good power for its size. Here is a great example with a 458 wheel horsepower and 390 wheel torque example. USP Motorsports modified this B5 A4 1.8T with a Precision 5857 turbocharger, E85 fuel, and Eurodyne engine management. After custom tuning on a Dynojet the result is what you see in the video below. ...Published on 11-15-2013 08:05 PM
Now that's more like it! For a long while now the 4.2 FSI motor in the RS4 and RS5 has been getting beaten up on by, well, just about anything. APR's Stage I and Stage II supercharger systems made a nice difference but the cars still lagged behind supercharged E92 M3's, tuned 335's, and 63 AMG's. Well, with the announcement that they intended to go to a larger Eaton TVS1740 blower for a Stage III supercharger kit APR certainly raised the bar in the 4.2 FSI V8 game. ...Published on 11-15-2013 03:19 AM
Here are test numbers from German publication AMS for the new Audi RS7, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMS S 4Matic, and the BMW F10 M5 with the Competition Package. Each vehicle represents the highest performance option in the segment available from each respective company. So which is the quickest? The RS7 and the E63 AMG S tie in a 400 meter sprint with an 11.7 elapsed time. It would be nice if AMS went further with their timing than just a tenth but let's call it a draw. ...Published on 11-12-2013 08:43 PM
The 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 motor just continues to impress. An S-Tronic dual clutch B8 S4 at the Byron Dragway in Illinois managed a very impressive firstname.lastname@example.com 1/4 mile run. This was done on 100+ octane race gas with an ECU tune, APR pulley, Stasis exhaust, Strat intake, and the stock cats still in place. Conditions were very favorable with density altitude in the negative numbers at -473 with 45 degree weather. ...Published on 11-04-2013 02:51 PM
Congraulations to USP Motorsports who put on a strong display at the 2013 World Cup Finals finishing in second place in the True Street Class. They improved on their personal best running a 9.26@156. This is quickest time the car has ever put down although not fast than their 9.48@160 they hit last year. Keep in mind there are class limitations and rule changes year to year that affect the performance of the car in order to keep the playing field level. ...Published on 11-02-2013 01:40 PM
This is a bit of a mismatch on paper especially considering just how potent APR has shown the Audi S8 to be with their ECU tune on 100+ octane race gas. Over 600 horsepower at the wheels tune only on race gas is no joke. Already breaking into the 10's tune only is also not a joke. The CTS-V certainly is a potent sedan with a supercharged 6.2 liter LSA V8 but being stock and at 556 horsepower to the crank it is in a bit over its head. ...Published on 10-30-2013 12:47 PM
Back in September Audi unveiled their 700 horsepower hybrid concept called the Sport Quattro. The car features the well known 4.0 TFSI twin turbo V8 motor borrowed from the RS6/RS6 plus an electric motor for a total of 700 horsepower. A lot of power but also a lot of weight as the car weighs in at 4,078 pounds. This heavy and complex machine will likely never get produced and that is absolutely fine with AudiBoost as a lighter car with no complex electronic drivetrain and less weight makes a whole lot more sense. ...Published on 10-28-2013 01:02 PM
Good results here for an R8 V8 turbocharged with a single turbo setup from MRC Tuning. We have previously sit this turbo V8 R8 setup in action hitting an impressive 204.4 miles per hour but this 1/4 mile run gives us a much idea of the performance capability. With the GT45 turbocharger and upgraded fuel system (modified LPFP and HPFP pumps) the R8 V8 4.2 managed an impressive 11.1@132 in the 1/4 mile putting it ahead of any other recorded R8 V8 at the dragstrip. ...Published on 10-25-2013 07:20 AM
Hot on the heels of the BMW 2-Series announcement comes news from Audi that the A3 sedan will start at $30,795. This undercuts the BMW 228i which starts at $33,025. The 228i is more powerful though at 240 horsepower to the entry level A3's 1.8 liter turbo four-cylinder's 170 horsepower. Will BMW introduce a cheaper 220i model to now undercut the A3? They have room to do so based on the F30 320i precedent. ...Published on 10-24-2013 04:10 AM
The German turbo V8 era sure is getting fun with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Porsche all going back and forth in a turbocharged V8 power war. Audi has the motor with the smallest displacement of the bunch but it is hardly giving up much of anything to its larger V8 competition. Proof? How about over 600 horsepower at the wheels with just a tune? APR was able to get exactly that with their Stage I ECU upgrade and 100 octane race fuel in the new S8 hitting 610 horsepower at all four wheels. ...Published on 10-23-2013 11:40 PM
The Audi 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 motor sure has given the Audi S5 the shot in the arm it needed. With GIAC Stage 2 tuning and a pulley from AWE-Tuning the facelifted B8 Audi S5 easily broke into the 11's with an firstname.lastname@example.com 1/4 mile sprint. That means the Audi S5 with bolt on modifications easily outpaces the RS5 big brother equipped with Audi's 4.2 liter FSI naturally aspirated V8. It is somewhat embarrassing that the RS5 can be beaten so easily by its own sibling in the A5 lineup. ...Published on 10-19-2013 11:05 PM
Auto Express reviews are not exactly what AudiBoost would call the best in the industry. Far from it actually but since they got their hands on the Audi RS Q3 and since this vehicle is coming to the USA here we are. As a reminder, the RS Q3 features Audi's award winning 2.5 liter turbocharged and direct injected five-cylinder in a detuned state of 310 horsepower. This is paired to an all wheel drive drivetrain with a seven speed S-Tronic dual clutch transmission. ...Published on 10-17-2013 01:11 AM
Wow. Quite simply, wow. The 4.0 TFSI is a potent motor as we have all seen. Audi uses this motor in a variety of levels of tune from the standard S6, to RS6, to S8. In the S8 the motor features larger turbos that can produce a bit more power than in the S6 as these 1/4 mile results from APR show. The car is no slouch in stock form capable of 11's in the 1/4 mile at 116 miles per hour despite its fairly hefty curb weight of 4620 pounds. ...Published on 10-15-2013 11:40 PM
Great results here from a Eurocharged tuned Audi R8 V10 5.2 on the 1/4 mile drag strip. You should know the R8 V10 is the exact same motor the Lamborghini Gallardo also uses but the R8 is detuned from the factory to protect fragile Lamborghini owner's egos so their heads do not explode. What you see here is what happens when a tuner gets their hands on the V10 and removes the artificial handicap employed by the factory and then some. ...

- 4 4 4cups CUP_USVolumearugula, cleaned
- 2 2 2tablespoons TABLESPOON_USVolumeextra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 .5 .5lemon, juiced
- Lemon wedges, as garnish
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spread the bread crumbs evenly on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Watch them carefully as they burn very quickly. Remove from the oven and cool. Raise the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Butterfly the shrimp by slicing from the tail to the front on the top of the shrimp, where the vein was removed being careful to avoid cutting all the way through. Turn the shrimp over and gently make 3 small shallow slits horizontally across the shrimp to prevent the shrimp from curling during cooking. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Mix together the oregano, thyme, parsley, basil and garlic. Add the garlic herb mixture to the bread crumbs and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Brush a large oven proof skillet with some of the melted butter, coating the bottom well. Dip the shrimp in the butter, opened side down, and then dredge in the bread crumbs, pressing so they stick. Place the shrimp, bread crumb side up, in the skillet in 1 layer and drizzle with a little more of the melted butter. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are just cooked through and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
- Toss the arugula with the olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Place 4 shrimp around each pile of arugula. If desired, finish with a drizzle of more melted butter and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Cooking shrimp is easy because they cook so fast and are perfect for quick meal, but don't overcook! They'll end up tough and ruin any dish you use them in! Try different varieties, such as Gulf, Santa Barbara or Prawns but make sure the shrimp are a good size if you want to butterfly them.

A Jacksonville man, whose family members contacted police after growing concerned for his welfare, was found dead in his home Wednesday night. Police suspect foul play.
Police and rescue personnel had to force entry into the home in the 3900 block of Aldington Drive about 7 p.m., where they found 58-year-old Robert W. Ford.
"It appears at this time he'd been there about a week," Sgt. Lonnie Mills said.
Ford lived alone in the single-story brick home with white shutters and an empty driveway.
What was missing from the driveway may prove crucial in solving the case.
A white 2002 Ford ranger with a bed topper and Florida tag Q722WZ registered to Ford's son has been missing since the time of the slaying, Mills said. Police are asking for the public's help in finding the truck.

In four months, she will not need the formula. Maybe if you stick it out for another four months, you will feel better about never giving her formula. Its really not that long of a time if you think about it :) Then, if she needs it, your husband can give her regular milk when they are out together. Besides, pretty soon she will be eating more foods and probably not nursing as much.
I understand the lack of sleep! My breastfed babies do not sleep well at all. My youngest, who turned 1 in June, is still nursing and still doesn't always sleep through the night. It can be hard, but I know it won't last forever. Im sure you have plenty of milk, perhaps its just not very fatty? My babies seem to nurse for short periods of time, but often. I dont think they get much of the fatty "hind" milk. Our pediatrician also told me that its common for moms milk to contain less calories (fat), after having multiple babies. If she is eating solids, try and feed her as close to bedtime as possible, so her tummy is full. Maybe someone else has more advice.....
As far as sex drive, mine is low too...but I'm thinking its because of the birth control I'm on.

Ilovebeingpregnant:thats interesting, im on progesterone only thats suitable for bf, do you think that makes a difference?
I dont know for a fact. but thats exactly what I am taking and it seems to have the same effect on me!
Melody:They are just not able to fall back to sleep once they wake up.
That is also true :) Until your baby can put herself back to sleep on her own, you will be getting up to nurse.

Blackbog Lurker
In life, the Blackbog Lurker was a simple-minded soul; a witless man named Ryna who was hard-working but naturally limited. His large head of curly hair was often the subject of many jokes from both friends and enemies. Growing up with such abuse caused Ryna to develop severe anger issues, and he was often known to arbitrarily punch people, or throw objects at them. Much to the dismay of his mother (yet nobody else) Ryna one day disappeared whilst wandering the enchanted Mud flats of Trollania. As he trudged through the barren landscape, ancient magics rooted his feet to the floor, and he began to sink. Seething with intense rage, Ryna vowed to return from the grave to exact revenge upon those who had mocked him in life, and he screamed victoriously as he was consumed by the mud...
Today, tribes are constantly wary of the ever-present danger that the Blackbog Lurker brings. None know how he came to be, and yet they all recognise the familiarity in those terrifying tendrils upon his head...
Blackbog Lurker aims to be a skill-based team class, with a host of abilities that require well-timed activation to acheive maximum effectiveness. This class has a very unique playstyle.
(Yes, the art will be redone and edited in later.)
Imagine him as a big black/brown mud golem thing.
23 16 19
Movement speed: 295
Str per level: 2.8
Agi per level: 1.2
Int per level: 1.7
Stat finalisation is the least important aspect of this concept. Please judge the abilities and the theme before anything else
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________
Muddied Slick
Muddied Slick is an ability inspired by abilities like Llanya's psi-traps in dota, except with a much shorter range of deployment. This is to encourage strategic placements of traps as opposed to being able to use them offensively.
The player can place a template of roughly the same size as Forsaken's snare, clicking and dragging it along the floor to paint a small patch of mud on the ground. These Muddied Slicks can be placed within a 200 range of Lurker and take 0.5 seconds to lay, this is to encourage clever pre-emptive placement of mud patches as opposed to being able to engage from a distance by throwing one in.
It is possible to have 2/3/4/5 mud patches down at any one time. At third level, mud patches have stealth.
Any enemy heroes who walk on this patch obtain a debuff called 'Muddied' (this is an important effect as it is the precursor to Lurker's ulti.) More on this below.
Lurker can force the closest mud patch to him to errupt by pressing W, covering all enemy hero units within a 300 range of the Muddied Slick to become instantly Muddied. Once Lurker has errupted a mud patch it then disappears.
Here are some WIP-numbers:
Rank 1: 1 Muddied Slick allowed. Afflicts enemy with Muddied rank 1.
Rank 1: 2 Muddied Slicks allowed. Afflicts enemy with Muddied rank 2.
Rank 1: 3 Muddied Slicks allowed. Invisible graphic. Afflicts enemy with Muddied rank 3.
Rank 1: 4 Muddied Slicks allowed. Invisible graphic. Afflicts enemy with Muddied rank 4.
Excuse my poor attempt to explain this:
Imagine Blackbog Lurker is against an enemy. He can click ability one or press "Q" to activate Muddied Slick. While casting, he cannot move. Upon selecting this ability the cursor tunrs into a red circle with which the player can paint an area of mud on the floor.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________
Muddied (Passive debuff)
Muddied is extremely important and works as the foundation for all of Blackbog Lurkers abilities. Muddied is a 5/10/15/20% slowing debuff that lasts for 20 seconds at all levels.
This is what an enemy suffers from after slipping on the Muddied Slick. When afflicted by Muddied, a player has a slow placed upon them for 20 seconds, increasing each level with Muddied Slick.
This ability is used in conjunction with Blackbog Lurkers other abilities for devastating effect, encouraging strategic placement of traps.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________
Tendrils of Filth
Pulls all enemies within a certain radius radius closer towards Blackbog Lurker. Causes only a small amount of damage on a moderate cooldown, however, it can be used to pull people into pre-placed mud slicks, allowing you to initiate.
Tendrils of filth does 50% more damage to enemies afflicted by "Muddied"
Rank 1: 100 radius, 75 damage 25 second cooldown
Rank 2: 150 radius, 100 damage 20 second cooldown
Rank 3: 250 radius, 150 damage 15 second cooldown
Rank 4: 350 radius, 200 damage 10 second cooldown
(In effect, this functions similar to Torturers drag mechanic, only the centre of pull is the Lurker)
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________
Blackened Hide (Passive)
Increases strength. Causes a small chance for all enemies who strike Blackbog Lurker to be afflicted by "Muddied" to be used in synergy with other abilities. Each enemy afflicted by "Muddied" causes Blackbog Lurker to gain +1/2/3/4 strength. This means he becomes an exceptional tank in team fights, as he gains more strength the more people who hit him.
Enemies are afflicted by "Muddied" ONLY if they attack Blackbog Lurker in melee combat. Ranged heroes are not afflicted.
As this ability ranks up, Blackbog Lurker gets visibly blacker in appearance.
Rank 1: 10% chance to muddy enemy, each Muddied hero gives +1 strength
Rank 2: 20% chance, each Muddied hero gives +2 strength
Rank 3: 30% chance, each Muddied hero gives +3 strength
Rank 4: 40% chance, each Muddied hero gives +4 strength
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________
Thicken (Ulti)
Any enemies afflicted by "Muddied" are locked in mud, causing them to become immobilised for several seconds. If they are hit during this time,
they are freed from the mud and are able to move. When freed, they take damage.
Rank 1: 100 damage, 5.5 second immobilise. 110 second cooldown
Rank 2: 200 damage, 7 second immobilise. 85 second cooldown
Rank 3: 300 damage, 8 second immobilise. 65 second cooldown
This ability, in conjunction with his others, allows for brilliant team fight control.
I hope you enjoyed reading. Please remember that this is a work in progress and numbers are not at all final but simply there to show the concept.

I think Blackened Hide should be a scaling ability that increases strength in a way that scales higher than +4. Perhaps some sort of per action scale (Devourer, for example, gains a fixed amount of strength when he kills a hero or a certain number of creeps).

Thread updated, please look.
Any suggestions for Blackened Hide?
Maybe 'for every X units affected by Muddied, the Blackbog Lurker gains X strength'.

That's what I mean by a 'scaling endgame mechanic', BTW. I mentioned Devourer who is a great example, another alternative to consider is something in the fashion of Vindicator's Glyph of Silence ability.

Updated. Muddied slick reworked, Blackened hide fixed.
Let me know what you think
I really like the way all of his skills are so interrelated (i.e. 'muddied' having numerous applications) He sounds like he'd have really good teamfight control.
Would the debuff of 'muddied' count as magic or an attack modifier (like arachnas slow)?
It would function like arachna's slow.
Thank you for the kind comment
I also added a biography.
That's pretty effective as a temporary buff, even if it's not the 'scaling' I was talking about I like it.
The Truth About Feeding, PSR, KDR, and other statistics according to S2GamesOriginally posted by Nome:
PSR means nothing
You know he sounds a lot like some one I know.
Nice idea, but how far do the tendrils drag toward lurker, does it pull all the way, or only a %?
WSN for some reason... I get the feeling that you have a lot in common with this future hero.
Any additional suggestions welcome
Would you like this hero in the game?

I made this for the first time tonight, and this is by far my favorite macaroni and cheese, what?s not to love about beer and bacon! After mixing cheese over the stove-top I typically have a sink full of what my husband calls ?Super Soakers?. The order everything gets mixed in kept most of the cheese from being caked onto the side walls of the pans-which is always a plus!

Murder trial jury asked to consider self-defence plea
on 12/12/2012 18:52:20
Thomas Kinsella of Orchid House on James's Street in the city has gone on trial at the Central Criminal Court, charged with murdering John Murdoch on August 27, 2011.
He has pleaded not guilty to murdering Mr Murdoch on Cushlawn Way - Cushlawn Dale in Tallaght.
Dominic McGinn SC, prosecuting, opened the trial before the jury of seven women and five men today.
The barrister said that Mr Murdoch was stabbed shortly after midnight on August 26 last year.
He said that the deceased was standing with two friends outside a shop in the Cushlawn estate when they became involved in a verbal altercation with another group.
He said it was the prosecution case that this other group comprised Mr Kinsella, along with another man and a woman.
Mr McGinn said that the altercation moved deeper into the estate and then turned violent.
He said it was the State's case that Mr Kinsella was the only member of his group to be involved in the physical confrontation.
"Mr Kinsella pulled out a knife and stabbed John Murdoch in the chest," he said, adding that Mr Kinsella then used the knife to threaten Mr Murdoch's two friends.
"He then stabbed John Murdoch another time," he continued.
"John Murdoch was shouting at the time: 'You've already stabbed me'. Yet Mr Kinsella continued," said Mr McGinn.
He said that the accused then ran off before the gardaí arrived.
Mr McGinn explained that Mr Murdoch was not breathing when he was rushed to Tallaght Hospital with what appeared to be two stab wounds. He did not recover and was pronounced dead just before 1am.
The jury was told that a post-mortem examination found that Mr Murdoch had actually suffered three stab wounds, the fatal wound penetrating his heart.
Mr McGinn said that Mr Kinsella later approached a garda at Tallaght Garda Station, telling him he knew something about the stabbing and that he would made contact later. He did not make contact later and was arrested and questioned the following day.
"He said he'd stabbed John Murdoch," said the barrister.
The jury heard that he told gardaí that the other group had attacked his group with bricks and bottles, that he'd got separated from his friends and had to protect himself.
He told gardaí where he'd hidden the knife and this was recovered, the court heard.
Mr McGinn explained that the pathologist confirmed that this home-made knife could have caused Mr Murdoch's injuries.
The jury heard that the defendant's friends also told gardaí that the other men were the aggressors.
"That's likely to be the main issue of the case: whether or not Mr Kinsella was acting in self-defence," said Mr McGinn.
He explained that an intention to kill was not necessary for murder and that an intention to cause serious injury was enough. He said the jury was entitled to presume that, in stabbing Mr Murdoch in the chest, the defendant intended to cause at least serious injury
"If you're under attack, you're entitled to use reasonable force to defend yourself," he confirmed. He said it would be up to the 12 jurors to decide if this happened.
"It's up to the prosecution to prove that he wasn't acting in self-defence, that what he did wasn't lawful," he concluded.
The trial before Mr Justice Barry White is expected to last six days.

Media Round Table on Grand Inga Hydropower Projects
Endorsed by Sir David King
The World Energy Council (WEC), the leading global multi-national, multi-energy organisation whose mission is To promote the sustainable supply and use of energy for the greatest benefit of all has taken it upon itself to facilitate the development of the Inga River projects to provide access to affordable and clean electricity to the millions of Africans who today have none. To further this project, WEC believes that a "Marshall Plan" for African development is long overdue and it is time for the G8 to deliver on its commitment to Africa and to climate change.
As the initial step, WEC is convening a high-level International Forum on the Grand Inga Projects "How to make the Grand Inga Hydropower Projects happen for Africa" which will take place in Gaborone, Botswana. André Caillé, Chair of the WEC and former CEO of Hydro Québec will chair the Forum, which is intended to bring together more than 100 high-level participants from over 30 countries both within and outside Africa.
Presentations and the Action Plan from this Forum are available online.
Prior to the Forum, WEC together with the Foreign Press Association organised a Media Round Table on Grand Inga in central London. This event is expected to get out a message about Grand Inga to a broad audience.
We are very delighted that Professor Sir David King, Chief Scientific Adviser to HM Government and Head of the Office of Science and Innovation, was able to share his view on the project together with WEC Chair, André Caillé and WEC Secretary General, Gerald Doucet.

The women's Sande Society that operates throughout West Africa 'is evil' and a danger to peace and stability, Montserrado County Superintendent Grace has told visiting members of the UN Security Council, while soliciting financial or other forms of assistance to eradicate it.
In briefing members of the Council on the path to peace and stability in Liberia, Mrs. Kpan, once President of the National Port Authority's Dock Workers Union who unsuccessfully contested the Montserrado senatorial seat in 2010, said the Sande, also known as Female Genital Mutilation (FMB) by its western opponents, represents a danger to peace, and that re-'rehabilitation' camps have already been established for its practitioners.
Her revelations of secret abolishment plan defy the official position of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who told this paper in an interview that her Government's objective is not to abolish the society, but to allow girls enroll in formal schools, and that this would mean shifting schedules.
During the 2005 presidential campaigns, traditional women were told that electing President Sirleaf would be an end to their society because she had secret plans to abolish it. The candidate at the time denied the allegations and assured traditional women she had no plans of tampering with their traditions.
Mrs. Kpan said UNMIL field office constructed a temporary structure for the women who practiced FGM to begin training the younger ones to have better skills to use their hands instead of doing FGM.
"So, the women you see here today were practicing FGM, but today they are no longer practicing it because of the help from UNMIL," she told the UN delegation.
She thanked UNMIL, saying: "We think if this can be extended throughout the length and breadth of the county (Montserrado) and even of Liberia, it will help most of over young women and young girls."
She told the UN Ambassadors there were 251 ghettos and 59 prostitution centers here and claimed "most of the victims in those centers are people who left the Zoe bushes are victims of FGM."
Mrs. Kpan: "If Liberia must advance and go forward, we think our people need to be educated...we do not want the younger ones to be brought forth into this practice."
She appealed to the Security Council for assistance, saying, "This is another way of keeping peace as well".
She revealed that she and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have closed down most of the bushes while "trying to educate the people that the time has come…it is a new world and anew era…people cannot continue these practices."

Today, customers can get their first taste of Windows 8, heralded as Microsoft's most sweeping overhaul of its popular operating system since Windows 95. The new system designed for a more tablet-centric marketplace is being released today, along with the Surface, the company's new tablet.
With the Surface, Microsoft puts itself in more direct competition with Apple, which announced its latest tablet offering, the iPad mini, this week.
[PHOTOS: Apple Premiers the New iPhone 5]
The companies are now competitors in computer, tablet, and phone markets, but are still separated by a wide gulf in many ways. Here's what the Windows 8 and Surface releases say about the disparities that remain between these two very different companies.
Different Kinds of Loyalty
Loyalty and Apple seem to go hand in hand — look no further than the long lines that greeted the iPhone 5. But Microsoft has its own broad customer base — Windows runs on more than 90 percent of desktops, according to technology data provider NetMarketShare. That familiarity brings with it its own type of loyalty that cuts both ways.
"Apple's customers are so loyal. And the loyalty that Apple has is second to none in the computer business," says Al Gillen, an analyst specializing in operating systems at technology market research firm IDC. "Microsoft has been loyal to its customers. That's a reason to believe that its customers will remain loyal to Microsoft."
[READ: Microsoft's Risky Netflix Strategy]
He says Microsoft's loyalty to its customers comes in the form of "backward compatibility"—allowing new systems and products to work with older products, like running an old version of Microsoft Word on Windows 7. That makes the transitional periods between Windows versions and new devices much longer than they might otherwise be, says Gillen.
"We're going to be talking about this transition years from now," he says, and the long transition won't come easy. "Microsoft being loyal to its customers has come with a considerable amount of pain and suffering."
While Windows RT (the Windows version designed specifically for devices like tablets that run on a specific type of processor) will generally not run old Windows programs, Windows 8 will allow many older programs to run, and it is still going to be possible to buy Windows 7 computers. The company was also careful to make Windows 8 less scary to change-phobes: a "desktop" mode allows the user to open a screen much like the one that Windows 7 and XP users see, minus the start button.

In contrast, he says, Apple tends to make a cleaner break from older technologies.
"Apple has a history of walking away from applications, walking away from personal devices," says Gillen. "It's just the way Apple does business."
Apple Jumps First
With the iPhone and iPad, Apple introduced two revolutionary products. Microsoft followed behind much later with the Windows Phone and now Surface.
[RELATED: Why the iPad Mini Hasn't Helped Apple's Stock]
It's true Microsoft has some catching up to do in the tablet market, but Microsoft is proving that Apple doesn't have the monopoly on innovation. The Surface tablet can be purchased with a magnetic keyboard cover that helps to make the device something like a hybrid between a laptop and a tablet. In introducing the device, along with an operating system designed for touchscreens, Microsoft is showing it's firmly committed to changing its business model — and, given its massive customer base, how people compute.

Hi, i'm testing the beta and runs fine so i suggest an upgrade into the Skypecasts, basically in the cast's tab, that's the situation; sometimes i minimize the skype's window and never see or hear the new user into my own skypecast so i want to hear a sound when a new user arrives. I hope could be do something about it

And it still requires admin priviliges on Vista. What's up with you Skype. By the time 3.0 is released, Vista will be broadly available (and that's just in 67 days, you know). So come one and get this fixed!

Good evening. find that skype takes way too much unnecessary memory-I downloaded recently again, and found when i uninstalled it that skype application had attached itself to my javascript . I downloaded my java again, but still cannot download or upload any pictures whatsoever, I had no idea you were in Beta-beta does weird things to windows xp–I would really appreciate some help, as I run a website http://www.sultryjazzdivas.ning.com wherein I am responsible for uploading fresh content. i appreciate any help immediately.

- Excellent performance combined with excellent style, this 4 Port USB Hub will give you different feeling
How to Install USB 2.0 Hub:
- The Universal Serial Bus, better known as USB, revolutionized the way that peripherals connect to computers and enabled true plug-and-play functionality. The biggest problem that most people have with USB (and it's second-generation technology, USB 2.0) is that there seems never to be enough USB 2.0 ports to plug in all of your peripherals and USB-ready components. This doesn't have to be a problem, however; with the addition of a USB 2.0 hub on or near your computer, you can greatly increase the amount of USB ports that are available for your use. Installing a USB 2.0 hub is easy, only taking a few minutes of your time
- Choose one of the devices that are currently plugged in to your USB 2.0 slots and unplug it. You can do this with your computer shut down if you wish, but because of the plug-and-play nature of USB, it isn't necessary. You should use your operating system's option to safely shut down the hardware prior to removing it if possible, however (not all operating systems will have this option.) Make sure that the slot that you vacate is an actual USB 2.0 port and not USB 1.0 or 1.1; though the hub will still function on one of the lesser ports, your transfer speed will be greatly reduced
- Place your USB 2.0 hub on a flat, stable surface near your computer (or on it, if you so desire.) You may wish to use dual-sided tape, hook-and-loop tape (such as Velcro), or a similar method to secure the hub without permanently affixing it to the surface you've placed it on. Attach the power cord to the hub and plug it in
- Connect the USB 2.0 hub to the USB port that you previously opened using the USB cable provided with the hub. Allow your operating system a moment to recognize the hub and install the proper drivers to allow the USB 2.0 ports in the hub to function
- Confirm that the hub drivers were installed successfully (a message from your operating system should inform you that your new hardware is ready to use.) You may now plug the device that you previously unplugged into the hub; you will receive the same connection speed and powered USB functionality from the hub that you would from a standard powered USB 2.0 port
Package Included:
- 1 x 4 Ports USB Hub

Bought this item on
04-09-2011- Other Thoughts: I bought this USB hub to be able to add a couple of extra USB ports to the back of my computer. I love how small it is, and the fact that it does not require any external power supply, so no additional cables or power bricks to plug into a wall outlet. It even has a small red LED light to tell you it is recieving power from the USB port it's connected to. And, it is USB 2.0. Cheap, small, convenient, and it gets the job done. What more could you ask for?. Great buy.

- How do I know if my PC has USB 2.0?
You can identify whether your PC has Hi-Speed USB or not relatively easy. Open Device Manager and expand the Universal Serial Bus section. There should be an "Enhanced" USB host controller present.
- How fast is USB 2.0?
USB 2.0 has a raw data rate at 480Mbps, and it is rated 40 times faster than its predecessor interface, USB 1.1, which tops at 12Mbps. Originally, USB 2.0 was intended to go only as fast as 240Mbps, but in October 1999, USB 2.0 Promoter Group pumped up the speed to 480Mbps.
- How do I know I plug in a Hi-Speed USB device?
The simplest way is to look for a Certified Hi-Speed USB logo on the retail packaging or on the product itself. The logo is exactly as shown on the right; it tells you what you are plugging into your USB port has passed the Hi-Speed compliance tests, meaning the product can enter Hi-speed USB mode if your system supports it.

As work in the state House of Representatives ground to a halt on the second to last night of the legislative session last week to ensure that no vote would be taken on legislation to create civil unions, I found myself reflecting on the role my hometown of Steamboat Springs played in the debate on same-sex unions way back in 1975.
As we enter the most intense period of the American political cycle — Ppresidential election season — it's worth reminding ourselves that not everything is political. This may sound obvious enough, but lately the line between politics and everything else has become blurred. It all starts with our insatiable appetite for all things political. Car bumpers blare opinions in ever-more-shrill tones. News outlets have drifted away from factual reporting and now rely heavily on the expression of opinion, most of it raw and partisan.
I always make it a practice to ask my Metro State journalism students to explain what a mill levy is, because few things are more central to covering governments than understanding how taxing entities get money from the public. Usually, the students look at me as if I'm speaking in an obscure Klingon dialect: A mill? A levy? What are those, and what do they have to do with government funding? These are typically intelligent, well-informed students, and they have not the slightest idea what I'm going on about.
By Jim Rohrer Is there anyone who is not fed up with Congress? We have a government shutdown, and a more serious crisis looms if Congress doesn't come to some agreement about extending the debt limit.
Lamontagne the right choice for Jeffco school board Editor: I attended the Jeffco school board candidate forum in Evergreen to get a better feel for the qualifications and opinions of the candidates with regard to the issues our county is facing. District 2 candidate Jeff Lamontagne demonstrated that he would bring a balanced voice and a long-term, solutions-oriented commitment to the Jeffco school board.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has noted a wave of community questions, concerns and confusion as electric- and gas-powered scooters have increased in popularity. Often called "go-peds" or "razor scooters," these vehicles look more like small motorcycles than simple scooters.
Curbside parking of recreational vehicles and trailers has posed a problem for some Jefferson County neighborhoods in the last several months. The Sheriff's Office is responsible for enforcing the parking ordinance. The ordinance does not prohibit the parking of recreational vehicles and trailers outright. It simply limits the amount of time such vehicles may be legally parked on the street to 28 days in a year's time.

Last week, Ted Cruz won the Republican U.S. Senate primary in Texas over a better-known, better-funded opponent. If you've followed the race, the narrative from the press has essentially been that Cruz is a Tea Party-backed firebrand whose knee-jerk ideology presages a rightward lurch for the GOP.

DURHAM, N.H. (AP) — The University of New Hampshire Department of Education has received a $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to start a science-based afterschool program in rural New England communities.
The three-year project will look at changes in the knowledge, attitudes and motivation of more than 2,000 rural and indigenous youth across the region for learning science as they participate in local community-oriented programs.
UNH said the goal is strengthen the connection for youth between science and their home and community lives.

Ireland's John Lacey will referee his first ever RBS 6 Nations match in February, while Alain Rolland is also included in the Elite Panel in what is his last season.
On March 21st in the Millennium Stadium, Ireland beat Wales by two points to win the RBS 6 Nations Championship, the Triple Crown and the Grand Slam. As a result, the RBS 6 Nations Championship Trophy and Triple Crown toured the four provinces of Ireland throughout 2009, with the destinations and visits detailed on the Grand Slam Map above. The Grand Slam Trophy Tour was co-ordinated through the four provincial branches, taking in Rugby Clubs, Schools and various other venues. The trophies were on view to all supporters of Irish Rugby.
- The Grand Slam Game on IrishRugby TV
- In Pics: Ireland's Grand Slam Week
- 'We Had Dreams and Songs To Sing': A Supporter's Diary of the Grand Slam Day
- Grand Slam Merchandise in the Irish Rugby Shop
The Trophy was designed by James Brent-Ward, Designer and Managing Director of the London Silversmiths William Comyns who produced it. It was conceived in a classical style but not to a traditional design. It was designed to be substantial and have a distinctive shape.
The Trophy has fifteen sides - one for each player. It has three handles, one for each official - the referee and the two touch judges. The handles are large enough to make lifting the Trophy easy. The capacity of the Trophy is exactly five bottles of Champagne, one for each of the original five competing nations.
It has the emblem of each nation around the base. These are fixed in such a way that they can be moved to accommodate the addition of new emblems when new nations join, as happened when Italy joined in the year 2000. The handle, or finial, on the lid is interchangeable and represents the current champions. After winning the 2009 Championship the finial on the Trophy became the one decorated with the Irish shamrock. The finials of the five challenging teams are kept in a hidden drawer inside the plinth throughout the Championship.
The construction of the Trophy is substantial. It is designed so that in the words of its designer: 'If anyone tries to drop kick it up Princes Street it will break their toes rather than damage the Trophy.'
The Trophy was presented to the Five Nations Committee on 6 March 1993:

Should the sponsors need further information for these patents, the scholarship holder has to make this information available to the sponsors immediately. Any costs that might arise will be paid for by the sponsors. The issued patents are property of the sponsors.
Should the sponsors make a considerable profit through these patents, they agree to pay an adequate compensation to the scholarship holder.
Should the scholarship holder's work results which he left to the sponsors be protected by a copyright, the sponsors have exclusive right of free use of these without limitation in time or place.

Washington, DC Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Mitt Romney outlined his plan to improve America's schools and called education, the "greatest civil rights issue of our era and our greatest challenge."
"Let's not kid ourselves – we are in the midst of a National education emergency," the Republican Presidential candidate said. "The only reason we don't hear more about it is because our economic troubles have taken our national attention away from the classroom."
He also criticized the President's and the Democratic Party's relationship with the teachers unions. "Whenever anyone dares to offer a new idea the unions protest the loudest. The teachers unions are one of the Democrats' biggest donors and one of the president's biggest campaign supporters," he said. "So Obama has been unable to stand up to union bosses and unwilling to stand up for our kids
in conjunction with his remarks to the Latino Coalition's Annual Economic Summit in Washington, DC., Romney released a new white paper on education, called "A Chance for Every Child: Mitt Romney's Plan for Restoring the Promise of American Education."
Mitt Romney on Tuesday announced a team of education policy advisers that includes former education secretary Rod Paige and other top appointees from President George W. Bush's administration.
This is the second time in as many weeks the Romney campaign has reached out to Hispanic voters. Last week, the campaign released their first general election ad in English as well as in Spanish.
The Obama campaign later held a conference call with reporters in response to Romney's remarks on education reform.
A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll shows Romney is trailing Obama when it comes to Latino voters. According to the survey Obama holds a 34 point lead over Romney among registered Latino voters 61 to 26 percent. The poll also shows 54 percent of all Latino adults approve of Obama's handling of the economy.
The Romney campaign had also released a new web video called "Stories from the Obama Economy" Wednesday focusing on the President's record.

Hull FC supporters are reminded they now have less than a week to purchase their 2013 season ticket using the club's direct debit scheme.
The scheme allows fans to split the cost of their season ticket into four separate instalments, with the first payment taken up front and the remaining cost split up into equal payments in December, January and February.
Available until 5.00pm on Saturday at the club's retail stores, paying by direct debit offers fans the chance to guarantee their place at the KC Stadium cheering on Peter Gentle's side next season while still spreading out the cost of their 2013 season pass in the run up to Christmas.
To take advantage of the scheme, supporters are required to complete a copy of the club's new direct debit application form and also a season ticket application form, both of which are available on www.hullfc.com
Fans are also reminded a £10 admission charge applies per pass to all direct debit applications to cover excess bank charges and that direct debit passes must be bought in person from the club's retail stores – they cannot be purchased over the phone.
