Around the Arroyo Vista Inn Bed and Breakfast, that first meal of the day, is a big deal. So, I was quite surprised when Russ told me that one country in our world is skipping a day this year. Yikes, that means one less breakfast and of course one less night to have guests over. Fortunately, that county is not us.
As you know the International Date Line separates "today" from "tomorrow" and earlier this year Samoa decided to move to the "tomorrow" side of the line. Actually, I think someone in charge is moving the imaginary line so that Samoa will be on the same side at its major trading partners, New Zealand and Australia.
Right now when a business person in Samoa calls an office in New Zealand on Friday, it is Saturday in New Zealand and no one is there. When New Zealand calls Samoa on Monday it is Sunday in Samoa. You get the picture. Now they will all be on the same day.
Further east, New Zealand has a colony of three islands called Tokelau where 1,200 people live. They decided to make the move also. So starting Saturday, December 31, 2011, the first place on earth to greet the sunrise will be Fakaofo, Tokelau. And presumably, they will enjoy the first breakfast of the new day. For more check out http://i.stuff.co.nz/world/south-pacific/5724234/Dateline-shift-gives-first-light-to-remote-atoll
We hope you will join us for breakfast any day. We may not be the first place where the sun rises on earth, but at Arroyo Vista Inn in South Pasadena, California you will be served one of the finest breakfasts to be found on earth after spending a very restful night in one of our luxury rooms. So start 2012 off right and book a room at our website arroyovistainn.com.

Stanford Law Review, Vol. 59, page(s): 673-759
Fall 2006
Policymakers fight over bureaucratic structure because it helps shape the legal interpretations and regulatory decisions of agencies through which modern governments operate. In this Article, we update positive political theories of bureaucratic structure to encompass two new issues with important implications for lawyers and political scientists: the significance of legislative responses to a crisis and the uncertainty surrounding major bureaucratic reorganizations. The resulting perspective affords a better understanding of how agencies interpret their legal mandates and deploy their administrative discretion.
We apply the theory to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Two principal questions surrounding this creation are (1) why the President changed from opposing the creation of a new department to supporting it and (2) why his plan for such a department was far beyond the scope of any other existing proposal. We argue that the President changed his mind in part because he did not want to be on the losing side of a major legislative battle. But more significantly, the President supported the massive new Department in part to further domestic policy priorities unrelated to homeland security. By moving a large set of agencies within the Department and instilling them with new homeland security responsibilities without additional budgets, the President forced these agencies to move resources out of their legacy mandates. Perversely, these goals appear to have been accomplished at the expense of homeland security.
Finally, we briefly discuss more general implications of our perspective: first, previous reorganizations (such as FDR's creation of a Federal Security Agency and Carter;' creation of an Energy Department) also seem to reflect politicians' efforts to enhance their control of administrative functions by making bureaucratic changes, and particularly by mixing domestic and national security functions; and, second, our analysis raises questions about some of the most often asserted justifications for judicial deference to agency legal interpretations.

Dunjinni forums have tons of symbols - most are photorealistic so they don't mesh super well with the profantasy symbols, but they are also free.
In general - All of the ad-ons for CC3 give you extra symbols and tools to make mapping easier. When your first starting out with the program, they can be a big help (i.e. using the wall and floors tool rather than manually drawing a wall or floor with the line tool and polygon tool respectively) - but you don't actually "need" them to make dungeons. Having said that, I do highly recommend them and the annuals.
My best advice is to watch and follow along with all of the youtube tutorials for CC3 (particularly the Dungeon one). Once you understand what he's doing, you'll be able to make your own and the program gets easier to understand with every map.

Transplantation can allow people to live healthy and happy lives. However, transplant is not the best treatment option for everyone. Below you will find information to help you along your journey of deciding if a transplant is right for you.
Is transplant the right treatment for you?
An organ transplant is an operation that places a healthy organ from another person into your body. The organ can come from someone who has died (a deceased donor) and has signed their state's donor registry or told their family of their wishes to become a donor. Kidney, kidney-pancreas, pancreas, heart, heart-lung, lung, liver, intestine are all organs able to be transplanted from a deceased donor.
Kidneys may also come from a living donor. This person may be a relative, spouse, friend, or even someone who wishes to donate a kidney to anyone in need of a transplant. Living donors can also donate part of a lung, liver, intestine or pancreas, but these types of surgeries are not as common as living kidney donation. Visit our site on living donation for more information.
Transplant is a treatment option, not a cure, but you can live a long, productive life if you a healthy lifestyle with diet, exercise and knowing your individual limitations.
Who are organ transplant candidates?
Before you receive a transplant, it is necessary to undergo a series of medical tests to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for transplant. You must be cancer-free and have no active infections.
If you or someone you know is interested in learning if they are a candidate for an organ transplant, consult the transplant team at your local transplant center (hospital that performs transplants). Your nephrologist or dialysis unit can help you find a transplant center. Ask the center's transplant team about the advantages of receiving a transplant as well as the possible risks and complications.
Transplant Surgery:
Details of the transplant operation would be discussed at length by your transplant team. Recovery time depends on the individual. Immunosuppressive drugs are needed so that your body doesn't reject the new organ. While these drugs are typically taken for as long as you have a transplant, they may change in type or dosage as decided by your doctor.
There are many people on your transplant care team, contributing to your care; however, the most important person on your transplant team is you. You need to take care of yourself and follow your doctors instructions. Educate yourself, speak up when something is wrong, share your concerns, and surround yourself with supportive friends and family.
Organ Transplantation in the United States
The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) keeps track of all transplants performed in the United States. They have statistics on the number of transplants, success rates per transplant center, the number of living versus deceased donors, and everything else you may want to know about transplant in the U.S. The OPTN is a contract through the federal government, awarded to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) who manages the organ transplant system in the United States.
Transplant Living is a patient-centered web site of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and has everything from basic organ information to the allocation process of how organs are recovered and transplanted.
Please visit the Transplantation section of our A to Z Health Guide for NKF's articles and publications.

iPad/iPhone FAQ: How do I create an iPad or iPhone screenshot (screen capture)?
Yesterday I sent an iPhone screenshot (screen capture) to a friend of mine, and he remarked on how cool it is that you can create a screenshot on an iPhone, and asked how I did it.
It's pretty easy to an iPhone or iPad screenshot. All you have to do is:
The only real trick in this iPhone screenshot process is that you need to press the Power button just before the Home button, otherwise the Home button will take you back to your iPhone home screen.
So, briefly, the steps required to create an iPad/iPhone screenshot are:
When this works you'll see a quick flash, and then your screenshot will be saved in your iPhone Photos application. If your iPhone is not in vibrate mode you'll also hear a sound when the screenshot is made. The screenshot is placed in your iPhone Photos app, and from there you can email your screen capture image, or do other things with it.
While I'm in the iPhone screen capture neighborhood, here's a brief collection of iPhone screenshots I've created over the last 12 months or so. Here's one from when my iPhone was reactivated:
Here's an iPhone screenshot from where I showed a friend how to use the song rating system in the iPod portion of the phone:
Here's a screen capture from when I was showing people how to delete iPhone application icons, or else move the application icons around:
And here's one of my favorite iPhone screen capture features, the ability to create a screen capture of the Weather app, and send it to friends who might be a little warmer:
All of these iPhone screenshot images were created on an iPhone 3G, using Version 2.x and 3.x of the iPhone OS.
I hope this tip on how to create iPhone screenshots (screen captures) has been helpful. As usual, if you have any questions, just leave a note in the comments section below.

The Easter Story
(taken from Catholic Mom.Com)
On the first day of the week,Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb.So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken the Lord from the tomb,and we don't know where they put him."So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.

Lately pages have been loading slow for me, and I have 384kb/sec cable internet. The time it takes the pages to appear is 5-7 seconds or more. I know that the server can get busy at times, but I get at least a five-second wait all the time. The only difference during evenings is that it's even a longer wait than that.
From the status bar of Firefox, I can see that the reason the page is loading is because the browser is waiting for remote servers. I have not seen this problem on any other website at the same time, unless it was caused by a similar problem that could be remedied the same way. If I localhost only three domain names, the pages load in well under a second.
I don't use any ad-blockers and I usually don't mind the fact that the website has ads, I know it's just part of the reality of doing business and sometimes I even click on interesting ones--but not being able to see a website content page because the remote ads won't load is one of the biggest internet annoyances ever created. It would be really, really nice to make sure that a slow remote server won't ever slow down (or prevent!) the website pages from loading.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The high-flying University of Iowa men's basketball team slammed home 11 dunks en route to its 11th victory, an 80-50 blasting of Coppin State on Saturday afternoon on Mediacom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
The Hawkeyes finish the nonconference portion of their schedule on a six-game winning streak -- the longest since Dec. of 2004 -- to push their record to 11-2 with a Dec. 31 matchup looming against nationally-ranked Indiana in the Big Ten Conference opener.
The dunk role call consisted of the following: sophomore Aaron White (six), sophomore Gabriel Olaseni (three), senior Eric May (one) and junior Roy Devyn Marble (one). Which one was the best?
"Gabe would have won, especially with his actions after the dunks," said White, who led all scorers with 20 points on 7-of-8 shooting. "Oh, I forgot about Eric... there were a lot of good dunks, a lot of good plays, it was a good team win."
"There were a lot of highlights, dunking wise," said May.
Iowa shot 51.7 percent from the field, making 31-of-60 field goal attempts. The Hawkeyes were 31-of-43 (72 percent) from inside the 3-point arc and 0-of-17 from long range. Iowa was 18-of-31 from the free throw line (58.1 percent) and out rebounded the Eagles, 54-29. The team had 21 assists on the 31 makes, but committed 20 turnovers.
"Twenty turnovers and 0-of-17," said UI head coach Fran McCaffery. "You don't expect to win by 30. I thought our defensive effort and concentration early set the tone. We really got after them with our press, and did some stuff aggressively at half court."
Along with White's 20 points, Olaseni had a career-best 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting to go along with seven rebounds and two blocks. Junior Roy Devyn Marble was the third player in double digits, finishing with 11 points, his 12th game in double figures this season.
Twelve of the 14 players that saw action for the Hawkeyes scored.
After playing to a 7-7 tie over the first three minutes, it was all Iowa. The Hawkeyes reeled off nine straight points and used a 17-2 run to build a 24-9 advantage. Freshman Adam Woodbury opened the scoring with a free throw and short jumper, while Olaseni's dunk made the score 24-9 at the 7:28 mark.
Iowa pushed its lead to 31-13 on a Marble-to-White alley oop dunk with 3:15 left in the half, and the Hawkeyes scored the final seven points to take a 40-14 lead into the locker room.
After giving up seven points in the first three minutes, Iowa's defense limited the Eagles to seven points for the remainder of the half. Coppin State was 6-of-24 (25 percent) from the field, while committing 12 first-half turnovers.
The Hawkeyes shot 54.8 percent (17-of-31) over the first 20 minutes, but were 0-of-11 from 3-point distance. Iowa was nearly flawless from inside the 3-point arc, converting 17-of-20 attempts (85 percent), which led to a 24-6 advantage in points in the paint.
White scored seven of Iowa's first 13 points to start the second half, as the Hawkeyes pushed their lead to 53-26 at the 14:25 mark. May's thunderous one-handed dunk ended a 7-0 spurt that pushed the lead to 60-26, and Olaseni's two-handed slam at the 4:45 mark made the score 73-42.
"That was old Eric," said Marble. "I haven't seen that in a minute. Hopefully we can see more of that during the Big Ten (play)."
The final individual highlight might have topped them all. Senior Christopher Rickertt hooked up with Olaseni on a perfectly thrown alley-oop pass on a fast break with 42 seconds remaining, which accounted for the game's final points.
"I don't particularly want to be dunking the ball when we're up by 28 with less than a minute to go," said McCaffery. "That's not my style. With that said, we have Chris Rickertt in the game, and he works extremely hard.
"That was the best alley-oop pass we've had all season. Good for him, good for Gabe, the crowd loved it. I would have preferred that we not make that play in that situation."
Iowa opens Big Ten play Dec. 31, hosting Indiana at 3 p.m. (CT).
"We'll find out pretty quick," said McCaffery when asked if his team is ready for the Hoosiers. "We have some work to do between now and then. We have great character and great camaraderie on the team, and our guys will be ready."

DEKALB, Ill.- Northern Illinois University's Eddie Adamski (Kildeer, Ill./Carmel) is one of 44 centers named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List announced by the Rimington Trophy Committee today. Given to the Most Outstanding Center in college football, the Rimington Trophy is named after Nebraska's two-time consensus All-America center Dave Rimington.
"Eddie brings a wealth of experience and athleticism to the position," NIU head coach Jerry Kill said. "Your offensive line always starts with the center, and we feel he's one of the best centers in the country."
Adamski, a senior, has played and started every game (38 total) of his three years at center for the Huskies. A second team All-MAC honoree from Phil Steele Magazine and third team all-conference selection from the league last season, he is once again expected to be the leader of the NIU offensive line in 2009. A preseason All-MAC candidate, Adamski is a member of Kill's Leadership Council.
The anchor of the Huskie offensive line, Adamski is coming off one of his best seasons at NIU. Named the Huskies' offensive lineman of the week three times last year, he played his best football of the year in October and November according to offensive line coach Matt Limegrover. He helped lead a Huskie rushing attack that averaged 171.2 rushing yards per game to rank third in the MAC and 36th in the country in 2008.
Adamski is one of three other centers in the MAC to be named to the Watch List. Also named to the list are Bowling Green's Ben Bojicic and Colin Miller from Central Michigan.
The Huskies open the 2009 campaign September 5 at Wisconsin. Kick off is set for 6 p.m. Central Time. Tickets for the 2009 home schedule, which kicks off Sept. 12 vs. Western Illinois, are on sale now. Call 815-752-6800 or go to www.niuhuskies.com to order.

A Must Read - Share
Not since a mini skirt-wearing Calista Flockhart starred as Ally McBeal have I been interested in attorney fashion (save for the sexy suits worn by the men of the aptly titled TV legal drama "Suits"). But after hearing a few of my co-workers buzzing about the Armani and Yves Saint Laurent designs on "The Good Wife," I figured why not binge-watch the show on Netflix?
Two weeks later and I'm not only caught up in preparation for Season 5's return on Sunday (September 29 at 9 p.m. ET on CBS), but I've become well-versed on the political-legal style evolution of Julianna Margulies' character

By Susie Braun, On Purpose Associate
Which continents have the highest number of mobile phone subscribers? The answer isn't Europe or the Americas, where mobile phones first took off, but Asia and, as of 2011, Africa. By the end of last year there were over 600m mobile phones subscribers from Cairo to Cape Town, according to research by the GSMA.
This is great news for the fight against poverty. For decades, Africa's governments pledged to connect people through landlines – with few results. Now mobile phones are enabling people not just to connect but to access financial, medical and other services; Kenya's M-Pesa is the global leader in mobile banking.
But using a handset is one thing; charging it is quite another. How can a Nigerian villager or a small farmer in Madagascar top up their battery when they have no access to the electrical grid? 1.3 billion people, don't have access to mainline electricity. Connecting them will cost $48bn a year, every year, until 2030, according to the International Energy Agency: several times the UK's international aid budget.
Personal solar products are a brilliant solution. A solar panel the size of a paperback can charge a phone - and also power a solar lamp or load a radio battery. They pay for themselves within a couple of months, replacing costly kerosene, batteries or paying someone else to charge your phone.
I'm an Associate with On Purpose, the leadership programme that kick-starts careers in social enterprise through training and placements with purpose-driven organizations. My first placement is with ToughStuff, a leading micro-solar social enterprise which is tackling the energy issue head-on through providing affordable and durable solar products.
While ToughStuff reach hundreds of thousands of families through selling their products in hardware stores or stalls, one of the great is getting them to the 'last mile' of rural communities.
ToughStuff's solution is to facilitate micro-business to enable local people to sell products in their communities. Partnering with NGOs - and their local partners - provides a network of salespeople who can make an income as solar entrepreneurs. A partnership with Christian Aid in Kenya, for example, saw 200 entrepreneurs selling to 106 villages, making money that was spent on food, education and clothing. And to make it scalable and easy for government and charity partners to set up their own solar entrepreneurship programmes, ToughStuff have developed Business in a Box, a dot-to-dot system of materials, from marketing to sales logs.
Just as Unilever's Shakti project opens up sales for the company while helping local people build business, so the Business in a Box system creates a benefit for all involved. ToughStuff sell more solar products, getting closer to their social mission of reaching 6.5 million people with sustainable power. NGO partners can run high-impact livelihood programmes for a low cost. Solar entrepreneurs make a living or supplement their incomes with every sale they make.
And, crucially, more people at the bottom of the pyramid get access to power, so life can continue after dark – and they can charge their mobile phones.
Susie Braun is an Associate with On Purpose, who are currently recruiting for their 2012/2013 intake (applications must be in by 29 April 2012). Apply here.

This is a good development. How can the NGO (Business and Professional Women Lagos) that i belong to be part of the distribution network for this solar product. Supply of constant power has been a proplem in Africa and the solution is solar energy in any form for example solar cooker and others will really help people below the pyramid.
Do you envisage yourself initiating this work in Malawi, there is a huge need for solar energy sources in the areas where my organisation, ASAP, NGO work with rural farming households on savings-led micro-finance.
Dear Twisiwile.
Thanks for your message. ToughStuff do have distributors in Malawi, although currently no Business in a Box programmes. We'd be very happy to chat to you further about your projects there - do contact us at email@example.com to talk to our Development team.
Best wishes
Dear Titilola,
ToughStuff have an office in Nigeria so we should talk! Do get in touch at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can discuss further.

Samsung and Sprint's Instinct has received quite a number of post-event awards during the CTIA Wireless 2008. Aside from grabbing the "Best in Show", Samsung's Instinct also got Laptop Magazine's "Most Innovative Product at CTIA Wireless 2008" award, and CNET's "Best Cell Phone" award.
The "Best in Show" awardee was chosen by the CTIA event participants themselves through text messaging. While the "Most Innovative Product" award was given by Laptop magazine based on what they feel would best "enrich the mobile lifestyle of business users and consumers." The winner of this award was chosen by the editors of the Laptop magazine. The Samsung Instinct also bagged CNET's "Best Cell Phone" award, which was taken by the Samsung and Sprint Upstage last year. CNET cited the Instinct's full touchscreen features and attractive, user friendly interface" as the main factors that led them to give the award to Instinct.
If you are curious to find out if the Samsung Instinct deserves all the accolades it received during the CTIA Wireless 2008, you will have to wait until June, as Sprint makes the handset available in its lineup. Pricing is not yet announced, but with a mobile phone such as the Instinct, it might cost a little bit higher than your ordinary Samsung mobile phones.

In a series of digs at the Lott House, archeologists have uncovered nearly 300 years of the family's everyday life. The house, which started out as a lean-to in 1719, expanded with the family's rising wealth and social standing.
The property, which once included 200 acres of farmland stretching from Kings Highway to Jamaica Bay, has now been reduced to a single acre in the middle of Marine Park.

Easy Steps to Reduce Diabetes Risk
Being overweight, not getting enough physical activity, and constantly being stressed out are all strong risk factors for type 2 diabetes. These are problems that many people face, but the good news is that you can make a few simple changes to your life to create a diabetes prevention program and reduce your diabetes risk.
Focus on Breakfast
Think diabetes prevention at the start of every day. "Eat a breakfast of protein and complex carbohydrates," says Suzanne Steinbaum, DO, a cardiologist and director of Women and Heart Disease at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "Eating a meal like this prevents the sugar highs and lows that often come with a breakfast of simple carbohydrates and sugars, like a bagel or a donut, which can cause those feelings of fatigue and lethargy that make you crave sugar again to increase your energy."
Avoid "White" Foods
Fred Pescatore, MD, an author and physician who practices nutritional medicine in New York City, says one of your best overall strategies for diabetes prevention is to steer clear of most foods that are white — white bread, white rice, and white pasta top the list. "These simple carbohydrates can cause blood sugar to spike even more than regular sugar," he says. "This may lead to a blood sugar dip, resulting in additional sugar cravings. Avoiding white foods will help to stop this vicious cycle."
Downsize Your Dinnerware
One of the biggest causes of diabetes in this country is overeating that leads to obesity. A basic strategy for avoiding overeating is to reduce your portions by using smaller dishes than you usually would for all your meals, according to Dr. Steinbaum. "Rather than worrying about servings, pay attention to cups and tablespoons," she says. "To help with this, instead of using a large dinner plate, use a salad plate for dinner."
Ditch All Soda — Even Diet
Most people think it's okay to drink soda as long as they stick to diet soda instead of the regular sugary kind. But Steinbaum cautions that water might be the better choice for diabetes prevention. "Studies have shown that even diet soda can increase the incidence of metabolic syndrome, a pre-diabetic condition associated with insulin resistance," she says.
Write Down Everything
A basic lifestyle strategy to assist with diabetes prevention is to keep a detailed food journal. You can use paper or a Web site or mobile phone application like My Calorie Counter, but whatever you choose, don't spare any details. "If you write down everything you eat, you are less apt to overeat or to unconsciously pick at food or 'graze,'" says Steinbaum. "It also lets you look back at what you've eaten, so you can more easily modify your behavior."
Watch Your Waistline
Some people get frustrated by constantly monitoring a scale while trying to lose weight. Steven Joyal, MD, author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes, says that measuring your waistline might be a better way to foster diabetes prevention. "Greater than 40 inches for men or greater than 35 inches for women means you're at an increased risk," he says.
Make Exercise Easy
Remember that inactivity is a diabetes cause and activity is a key to diabetes prevention. When it comes to exercise, some people use time constraints or other commitments as excuses not to work out. If you think that not doing a long workout means you shouldn't bother at all, Dr. Joyal respectfully begs to differ. "A power-packed, yet short-duration exercise program of 12 minutes every other day can have a tremendous impact on your body," he says.
Add Additional Activity in Increments
Another simple way to fit more diabetes prevention strategies into your everyday, daily routine is to find ways to add more activity to everything you do. For example, when you pull into a parking lot, Dr. Pescatore suggests parking as far away from your destination as possible and walking the rest of the way. "Walking burns calories, builds muscle, and utilizes blood sugar," he says. Other steps include taking the stairs instead of the elevator and doing sit-ups, push-ups, or even stretches while watching TV.
Stamp Out Stress
Stress is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. So while focusing on eating less and exercising more, it's important not to overlook stress reduction. "Take a yoga class, try meditation, and set boundaries around family and friends," says Robyn Webb, MS, food editor of Diabetes Forecast magazine and author of 13 cookbooks published by the American Diabetes Association. "Seek professional therapy for issues in your life that you feel you need help with."
Know Your Blood Better
Finally, if you have a family history of diabetes or are at risk, you should get your blood checked once a year to truly know your status. Pescatore says the two most important tests your doctor should perform are checking your hemoglobin A1C levels and your fasting insulin levels. If you commit to making all the previous suggestions, your efforts should show in your lab results.

Turn: America's First Spy Ring – Official Trailer
During last night's midseason finale of The Walking Dead, AMC unveiled the first look trailer at its eagerly-anticipated historical drama, Turn: America's First Spy Ring.
The Revolutionary War era drama stars Jamie Bell as an American spy caught in the crossfire of the warring factions during America's infancy. The series, based on the book Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring, doesn't premiere until 2014. However, you can watch the full, first look trailer below.
So what do you think of Turn? Could AMC have another hit on its hands? Or will the series fall flat? Sound off in the comments!

Apollo 13 should be a lasting reminder to astronauts and airline pilots of the dangers of relying on automated systems, the commander of the ill-fated mission has claimed.
Capt Jim Lovell said it was basic flying skills that allowed him and his crew to navigate their way back to Earth after an oxygen tank exploded during their voyage to the moon in 1970.
Recent air disasters such as Air France flight 447, lost over the Atlantic in 2009, and the Asiana Airlines plane which crash landed in San Francisco this summer indicate that pilots have become too reliant on autopilot, he added.
Capt Lovell's return to Earth on Apollo 13 was perhaps the most dramatic and courageous episode in the Apollo era of the 1960s and 70s.
Stranded in space with limited power and oxygen, The US team embarked on a daring escape manoeuvre that involved catapulting themselves around the moon and using their lunar module as a lifeboat to carry them home.
At a crucial point before they re-entered Earth's atmosphere, the crew had to adjust their craft's trajectory manually, using no more than a wristwatch and the position of the Earth in their window for navigation.
Astonishingly, Capt Lovell and his colleagues Jack Swigert and Fred Haise were able to steer the module in the right direction and splashed into the Pacific Ocean on April 17.
"I had a lot of automatic things on Apollo 13," Capt Lovell said before receiving the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators' award of honour at a ceremony in London last week.
"I had a guidance system, I had a computer - even though it was rudimentary at that time, it was a good computer. I lost all that. Didn't have the power to keep it going."
He told The Telegraph that recent air disasters had convinced him that automation has "taken (away) part of the ability of the pilot to control the aeroplane".
"I think that aviators these days have to go back and to and do a lot of hand flying really to be the final judge of controlling the aeroplane," he said.
"There was the example of the Air France plane that was lost. They were on autopilot and the autopilot stalled the aeroplane."
He also highlighted the examples of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 which slammed into tarmac at San Francisco International Airport on July 6 this year, killing three passengers and injuring more than 180.
An official hearing is due in December but some reports suggested an automated device which controlled the plane's speed may have malfunctioned.


text: Home Culture President Obama and Hillary Clinton Are the Most Admired Americans According to a Gallup poll, the president and the former secretary of state are the runaway winners for most admired man and woman of 2013. By: Stephen A. Crockett Jr. Posted: Dec. 31 2013 12:44 PM 0 President Barack Obama; former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Win McNamee/Getty Images; Scott Olson/Getty Images Don't let the health care rollout or the reported drops in approval ratings fool you. According to a newly released Gallup poll, President Obama is still the most admired man in America. The six-time consecutive winner in that category was joined by his former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, who was the most admired woman. Obama beat out such heavyweights as Pope Francis, former President George W. Bush, the Rev. Billy Graham and Bill Gates. Clinton destroyed her competition, trouncing the likes of household names such as Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin, Angelina Jolie and even the current first lady, Michelle Obama. Each year, Gallup asks Americans to name the living man and woman they most admire. Although Obama's percentage dropped to 16 percent in 2013, it was still a strong showing considering his closest competitors: Bush and Pope Francis earned a measly 4 percent each. In 2012 Obama drew a whopping 30 percent of the votes. Clinton has earned the designation of most admired woman for the 18th time, more than any other woman in Gallup's history. The 15 percent she earned in 2013 is down from 21 percent last year, but she cruised to victory, with Winfrey tallying only 6 percenet of the votes. Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin scored 5 percent each. Read more at Gallup. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. Get what we're watching delivered to your inbox everyday!

A committed and hard working footballer. Gave his heart in every game. Julker9 (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:25 PM 0 The Breaking News Of 2day !!" CR7 wOn the jOke Of d'Year award. " LOl Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 8:41 PM 2 We will all hear from Maradona very soon about Pele's bullshit award. It took for Messi to be injured and out for more than two months.and For that idiot Blatter to extend the voting as if its his own to do what he wants.Christina wouldn't have won a damn thing had these two things didn't happen.Focusing on the world cup is the ONLY thing that matters now, not the EPL, or laliga or UEFA. We need to show the whole world whose the best and what Argentina can do and will do. Kenneth (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 8:30 PM 1 @shinobushinobu they did that, and Maradona won the popular vote by like 25% then Fifa released another award that the board members voted for and gave it to Pele Shinobushinobu (Singapore) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 8:21 PM 0 Just hoping that in the year of 2050 Wikipedia and other sites will say "Messi is the best player ever who won more than 10 Ballon D'Or awards and only missed in 2013 due to injury and extension of voting deadline by FIFA. He regained it in 2014 by lifting the WC for Argentina."Oh and for the honorary ballon d'or award, how can they say Pele is the greatest ever. Even if it's honorary, they should open a voting from journalists and players just like the actual ballon d'or. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 5:32 PM 0 Semeone for the league title... Barcelona for the UCL and CDR titles..That would be wonderful for both Semeone and Tata..I know Tata will protect Messi before the world cup, so I'm not worried..Pep and Tito would have started Messi Saturday but Tata had the courage to rest Messi for the first half of the Atleti game, which says a lot for the upcoming world cup.. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 5:26 PM 0 @arg2014 I agree with your points..Once Ronaldo goals dried up that's it for him..Ronaldo offer nothing more beyond goal scoring, and if he doesn't score he cant make the headlines..Look at yesterday game, Ronaldo was horrible... The Thinker (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 5:13 PM 0 @kidult- But you never can say what pele will say the next day..Haha.except pele,, all the other brazilians do understand quality.. i like the fact that brazilian ronaldo once said that "if i had to choose a foreign player to play for brazil then i would undoubtedly choose messi.. even though maradona is my close friend".. Rivaldo already declared messi as the greatest of all time.. and ronaldinho is a life-long friend of messi.. neymar idolizes messi everyday..I can only hope that Pele doesn't switch his words again.. arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 5:10 PM 0 @KidultHood: if Atletico exit UCL early, expect them to focus even more on La Liga, however if they are in the running for UCL and go to QF, then I would say they would lose some Liga points....it's hard to focus on all three competitions for a club that is junior to UCL competition in recent years like Atletico.....Barcelona is the only club now that has that mindset to focus on all three competition since all players have been playing together for years and went through same process on and on....R.Mardid don't have barca's mentality to focus on all 3 galas....February will be a crucial month for all 3 clubs when lots will be going on. Ronaldo's perfect form will come to end very soon, and no more hat tricks except his trade mark of Penalties "aka Penaldo". Messi and Neymar will do some magic in the coming months. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:58 PM 1 @Thinker i get what your saying, but at least Pele come out in public and have to acknowledge that Messi is the best player in the world..So Messi end up having the last laugh on Pele not the other way around.It was just pure ignorance of Pele when he said ''Neymar was better than Messi.'' PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:50 PM 0 @arg2014yea Neymar need to step up now and full fill his price tag..Sanchez can step up in big games, don't be surprise if Sanchez is one of the top goal scorer at the 2014 world cup..Pedro and Fabregas only shines against small teams most of the times..I wasn't writing off Real Madrid, I was just saying La Liga will come down to wire because of the closeness of the league..Real have to play Atleti at the Calderon and Barcelona will face them at the Camp Nou on the final day..But out of the three teams Atleti is the more balance team with Barcelona second and Real third.. The Thinker (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:48 PM 0 @kidulthood-- Pele has an epic disease.. He says one thing in the morning and then he will say the complete opposite in the evening..Was it not Pele who said Neymar was the greatest player in 2011??? Was it not Pele who insulted messi by saying "He can only talk to me when he wins 3 WCs and scores 1000 goals"??? and now he understand what a player messi is so he says some nice things.. but it never covers up the insults he made towards messi 2 years ago...ALL the other brazilians have always said messi is the greatest of this generation... they have been saying it since 2009... Pele is the only one who always said the opposite until recently.. apparently,, romario can't even endure the sight of pele..How can you blame maradona??? Cristiano did have a great 2013 and maradona only said that..but then afterwards he said that no one should blame messi if argentina doesn't win the WC.. remember it was maradona who defended messi from storms of criticisms after argentina lost to germany in the WC.. the one thing you can trust about maradona is his honest words.. No matter how wild he is,, He is true to his heart and not a two-faced hypocrite like Pele.. Maradona never for once criticized messi,, He is the very first person to label messi as his rightful successor.. arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:39 PM 0 @KidultHood, don't underestimate R.Madrid too, they gained confidence now after the gap is narrowed down to just 3 points. Their UCL perfect run will add more ambition to win La Liga too.....but I hope that Neymar takes a part of all that and he won't leave Messi in the savior seat as always. I'm not counting on Pedro or Alexis who can only score against weak teams, but in big games....they disappear. Johnny (Thailand) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:28 PM 0 Yes, the Brazilans, no matter what you think of them, know quality. Dinho and Messi are pretty good buddies. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:27 PM 0 arg2014 I agree seems like La Liga will go down to the wire..And it can all come down to Barcelona last game on the final day of the league, and guess who they play? The tough physical team Atletic Madrid, which is not a good thing for Messi to play a game of such magnitude before the world cup and then their are other tournaments like UCL & CDR.. The Thinker (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:26 PM 0 Tata will play him cautiously,, he knows how important messi is for argentina.. messi himself will be cautious to avoid any injuries.. if barca progresses in the CL,, then messi will eventually have to play for full 90 mins but that will be no danger.. messi wouldn't be that stupid to throw his body on the line for a trophy that he has won 3 times.. but he will indeed give his soul for the WC.. arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:23 PM 0 Ronaldo was asked which team does he want his nation to face in the WC finale, and he replied he wishes the clash between Brazil and Germany....that tells me he knows that Germany won't be as a strong rival as Argentina to his nation. Smart answer, but he can't escape Argentina if our boys are on gear. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:23 PM 0 Thinker I have to disagree, all the more prominent Brazilian players said Messi was the best in the world, whether or not all of them think he deserves this year BDOR is a different story..Ronaldo9, Rivaldo, Cafu, Thiago, Alves etc all said Messi was the best in the world...There was also a poll conducted in Brazil and only Neymar was more popular than Messi in Brazil..Pele made some interesting remarks about Messi & his rivals..Pele said;''Ronaldo and Zlatan are similar in style'''' Ribery is a classic winger''But Messi, ''no one plays like him.'' I know Brazil history with Argentina is quiet fierce but a lot of their prominent players have acknowledge Messi is the best..Maradona himself came out and said that Ronaldo should win the 2013 BDOR, why no one here attacking Maradona for his recent comments? arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:15 PM 0 The only thing that bothers me now is that La Liga race became wide open and that means Messi won't get rested in the final weeks of May and expect him playing La Liga games till the end. I also think that Barca has the form now to beat some major clubs in the CL, so that was another big tournament waiting for Messi to help his club. I just hope that he doesn't play all 90 min from now on. The Thinker (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:13 PM 0 @Dfox-- i wouldn't say everybody is kissing brazil's ass... Infact it was only Brazilian ronaldo and ronaldinho who said messi deserves his fifth ballon d'or while the whole world followed the ass of cristiano..brazilians will have no problem accepting messi as the greatest.. Only Pele will have an ache in heart and nobody else.. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:10 PM 0 I just want Messi to take care of himself on and off the pitch and just tear it up extra whenever he puts on the Argentina Jersey and not to stop until he's on the podium, World Cup trophy in hand while its raining confetti. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 4:02 PM 0 Dfox I honestly believe that Argentina world cup draw and path to the world cup final was better news than if Messi had won today's BDOR.. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 3:58 PM 0 Agree Thinker, did anybody notice the smirk on Pele's face when he opened the envelop and saw Christina's name instead of Messi.Everybody is kissing Brazil's ass, FIFA, the world and all their wannabe fans, Argentina winning the world cup on their land will shut them up for all eternity. The Thinker (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 3:50 PM 0 well, we fans should not be too upset about this meaningless award.. messi is already the greatest player of this generation with or without these awards.. Brazilian ronaldo said that winning the ballon d'or right before the WC is always a bad omen,, he experienced it in the 98 WC.. and then he made revenge in 2002.. messi experienced disaster in 2010,,he will taste sweet revenge this year.. Politics has always been there in FIFA... remember the player of the century farce??? Maradona won the poll by garnering 53.6% votes(over 250 million) while pele got only 18%(75 million).. maradona was the legitimate winner but then again,, FIFA can't stand the sight of maradona winning their award,, can they??? so they decide to create a "poll" of their own,, where all the 80-year olds voted for pele and so FIFA decides to give dual award to maradona and pele.. and from then onwards,, maradona always hated these god forsaken pigs while pele was sleeping with these bastards.. But God has indeed sent a clear signal to messi.. 2014 is the year where he will prove his true greatness.. i am now just the imagining the face of pele when messi wins the WC... He will not believe his own eyes.. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 3:29 PM 1 WAIT until MARADONA says something about the Pele bullshit award and we all know he will. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 3:26 PM 0 MORE motivation for Messi to win the world cup and show the world whose the best once and for all. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 3:20 PM 0 Sepp Blatter have tarnish the Ballon d'Or award..I have no problem with Ronaldo winning just how it happen..This whole thing have become way too political, and trust me, politics is too dirty and should never be in football. Although I'm not a fan of Rosell, he said it best by saying '' Politics is the only reason stopping Messi from winning the 2013 BDOR''From the minute Blatter said he like Messi better, that's when the campaigning begun and the media splash on the part of Ronaldo and his Madrid counter parts, then that led to the extension of the voting period..Messi had the BDOR in the bag when he scored a hat tricks against Valencia and Ajax plus carrying his NT to the world cup with 2 games to spear but unfortunately Messi got injured so now the people against Messi used it has a scheme on why not to give Messi the award..By the way the FIFA world player XI is also injustice to Bayern Munich successful winning team..Neuer and Lahm were the only Bayern players who could make the list? That's just wrong..Dani Alves, Xavi and Ramos should not have been on this list..When Barcelona won everything it was dominated by Spanish players, almost all Barcelona starting XI was voted for the FIFA world XI even Mascherano was considered to be apart of the world XI back then..God is good and life goes on for Messi..Greets The Thinker (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 3:08 PM 0 the joke of the night was when that CLOWN pele won the so called "Honorary" Ballon D'or.. really??? FIFA's love affair with pele started way back and to this day,, they are keeping their favorite poster boy very happy.. Pele won so much of these hilarious FIFA awards that it actually outweighs the trophies he won in his playing days.. But pele feels no shame,, not even when his own countryman romario says pele is an imbecile... arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:57 PM 0 Well we know Messi doesn't care about award shows, rewarding, talking to media....he likes winning, scoring goals and his talk is through his feet on the pitch. I'm certain, he doesn't give a damn thing about every award show, but the thing was the cheating process of this year. I'm fair person, and I hate to see fraudulent act like that from FIFA as they imposed Ronaldo's winning. This is wrong, and I think Messi shouldn't have shown up as a message to what happened. We-fans- deserve that response from him. The Thinker (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:55 PM 0 Ronaldo wins his second ballon d;or...you know what,, it is a good omen... players who has won the ballon d'or right before the WC--his nation has never won the WC.. like ronaldo won the ballon d'or right before the 98 WC and then six months later,, brazil got mauled in the final.. messi came into the 2010 WC as the greatest in the world,, argentina came home early...cristiano can now sleep with that award,, portugal will never even reach the semifinals... indeed,, Almighty God has cleared the path even more for argentina... 2014 IS our year... Sabellista (Namibia) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:51 PM 1 Thank god the BDOR distractions are out of the way. Congrats to CR7, Messi is still the best player any day and now he can go to Brazil without BDOR media scrutiny. For me this a blessing in disguise. Now my other wish are that the media dares to question La Pulga's ability before the WC coz he plays best when odds are place before him. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:50 PM 0 arg2014 Messi currently have a better shot at winning in 2014 than he had in the past especially 2010.. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:48 PM 0 Chalz This my no means is a wake up call for Messi..Messi already stated, he only wants to concentrate on winning trophies for both Barcelona and Argentina and if he didn't win the BDOR award that was not a problem for him. arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:44 PM 0 I found it strange how Ronaldo's fans claim that although he didn't win anything with his club or NT, but he was able to lead Portugal to the world cup. Well, winning in the second round (not automatic qualification) and against all other "the least strong teams" is not an achievement. It is still a big deal of course for the entire team and coach to get qualified and save embarrassment, however this can't be rewarded or written as an individual achievement for the attacking department in particular. If Ronaldo was a beast, he could've get his NT qualified automatically since he had a solid defense and goalkeeping that he didn't need to worry about. Lack of scoring and attacking ability was the reason why Portugal failed to qualify automatically. Why Best player is granted just for club level achievement especially if that player is playing in Europe? A valid question needs to be discussed with FIFA clowns who are masters in swaying the votes and change deadlines to accommodate special requests/concerns. This year though, even club level was not taken into consideration since Ronaldo won zero trophy. So what's the criteria now? Pathetic show, and I hoped that Messi didn't show up after reopening the votes scandals were all over the planet. He really should've stayed in BCN training with his teammates and screw this make up award show. arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:29 PM 0 Well Messi won't be responsible on winning the world cup, it's not up to him alone. It has to be a complete project, management, assistants, teammates, bench players, preparation scheme, fans, and of course luck above all. Messi is not the only factor that we rely on in order to win world cup. Even if Messi doesn't win the world cup, he's still the best player regardless.

V love u & argentina to win the world cup. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:22 PM 0 ''MANCHESTER UNITED are set to miss out on Benfica defender Ezequiel Garay after Zenit St Petersburg agreed a deal to take the Argentine to Russia.'' really, sorry Garay but I don't do Russian league.. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:19 PM 0 Although I'm a big fan of Messi and all his achievements..Now someone tell me how does a defender, midfielder or a winger win the BDOR in the future if this is the standard being set to win the award? So the award now is solely base on goal scoring., majority of them were useless goals score by Ronaldo for winning nothing? PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:14 PM 1 baker I'm with you man..Messi will easily win the BDOR again, we shouldn't get distracted by tonight results..WC 2014 is the make or break year for Argentine football going forward imo.. Arglover (South Africa) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:13 PM 0 It's a sad day for Argentina football, I am in particular shocked with Garays move. argentuban (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:12 PM 0 It would be interesting to see how the voting came out, and of course FIFA won't show the votes at the original end date. pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:12 PM 0 i guess it says it all when a player can be the so called "best" but win nothing, not be the top scorer in their league or overall in europe (all goals)as well as not win the best wueropen player (f.r won that)strange!!! pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:09 PM 0 as much as we all know messi is the better player that 2 months out cost him this year plus add fifas usual dirty tricks. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:08 PM 0 Ok, now we can move on from this madness, no more drama about the Ballon d'Or..world cup is the most important thing this year!!!Fishy stuff happen indeed but I'm fine with Messi not winning although he's clearly the best player on the planet.. arg2014 (Canada) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:08 PM 0 This show was European from start to end: best goal, best male coach, best female coach, best female player, and best male player.Definitely, Messi was the winner originally prior to reopening the votes. This award is losing its creditability. Shinobushinobu (Singapore) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:08 PM 0 OK and now CR win the ballon d'or. I'm still convinced FIFA extended the voting period for his sake to make the competition more interesting. Well, I guess it's difficult to win five times in a row but I'm hoping Messi will win his 5th next year with WC in his hands. I'm sympathized with Ribbry though, coz this might be his last chance except if France somehow win WC. Amlan (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:08 PM 1 So, Ronaldo won it. Now Messi should start fresh and win another 4 times :DFirst one by winning the world cup of course... baker (India) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:07 PM 2 i Am worrying more about sabellas selection for romania than ballon dor result , what about you guys...? argentuban (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 2:02 PM 0 And like I said, CR7 won it. There was no other way after the voting extension. Arglover (South Africa) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 1:58 PM 0 Ezequiel garay is on the verge of completing 25 m move to Zenit, shocking move. Shinobushinobu (Singapore) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 1:55 PM 0 I can't believe Fifa, again, awarded Pele some of award that's not based on voting whatsoever but based on their own preference!!! What is FIFA BALLON D'OR PRIX D'HONNEUR actually??? Will they award it again to another player next year or it is really a special award just for Pele while it is very debatable if he is really leaps out above all others. Well maybe he will since Fifa keeps creating some history for him. Also his good nature boundless?? It seems like Pele is the best player in history according to Fifa and I really disagree.Well, I just feel it's unjust that Diego is always excluded from Fifa.. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 1:54 PM 0 Garay like most footballers today think about the money first than anything else..Look at Hulk, although I'm not a fan of his, he had other offers from many clubs but he choose to go to Russia for the BIG money..MONEY rules football now, I doubt many players care where they actually plays in this modern era because we have so many billionaire clubs everywhere.. argentuban (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 1:51 PM 0 That is what they are saying, Istiaque. Benfica needs money pretty badly, apparently. Istiaque (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 1:41 PM 0 read somewhere that Garay would be sold to Zenit...Going to be a very bad move if garay goes there baker (India) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 1:15 PM 0 for me , nuer is GK , zaba,silva,kompany,lahm as defenders and mascherano and bastian as DM , cristinano,messi,ribery and ibra as strike force pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 12:51 PM 0 I don't believe fifa would actually say, because of the extra voting period it changes he result as it would look even worse then it already does for fifa.

Broncos, Welker agree to 2-year deal
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Wes Welker is saying so long to Tom Brady and hello to Peyton Manning.
After spending six years with Brady in New England, the Pro Bowl receiver agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal Wednesday to team up with Manning in Denver.
The Welker signing was the highlight of a big day for the Broncos, who once again made a major splash in free agency. Welker will hold an introductory news conference on Thursday afternoon.
Denver also came to terms on a two-year deal with defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, formerly of Jacksonville, and a one-year contract with linebacker Stewart Bradley, who played with the Cardinals the past two seasons. Later in the evening, the team added cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie with a one-year deal.
Last year, the Broncos won the high-stakes contest to sign Manning, prompting Broncos boss John Elway to quip, "Plan B? I don't have a Plan B. We're going with Plan A."
Coming off a 13-3 season during which the Broncos looked like a Super Bowl contender before losing to Baltimore in the division round of the playoffs, Elway is clearly on the same path this time.
He picked up the league's most productive receiver to play in the slot where Brandon Stokley was last season. Welker's five 100-catch seasons are the most in the NFL. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his past five seasons and was an All-Pro four of the past five years.
"When you look at Wes in the middle of the field, you can't cover him," Elway said. "He does such a tremendous job of getting open, finding seams in zones, beating man-to-man coverage. So, he'll be a huge asset for us inside."
Welker caught 118 passes for 1,354 yards and scored six touchdowns last year, helping the Pats go 12-4 and make the AFC title game before they also fell to Baltimore. He developed quite a rapport with Brady during his six seasons with the Patriots.
The Broncos are banking the same kind of relationship can blossom between their 37-year-old future Hall of Fame quarterback and his newest target, Welker, who is 31.
That the Broncos are signing a top player away from New England certainly didn't hurt, either.
"Anytime you can take a player from a team you have to compete against, it helps, especially the caliber of Wes Welker," Elway said. "New England is there year in and year out and that's a team we have to beat to get where we want to get."
Although the deal with Welker received a bulk of the attention, the Rodgers-Cromartie, Bradley and Knighton deals could also influence Denver's starting lineups.
Rodgers-Cromartie played for Philadelphia last season and had three interceptions. He very well could line up opposite of perennial Pro Bowl Champ Bailey next season.
Bradley played last season for Arizona, where he didn't fit in with the team's 3-4 scheme. His best season came in Philadelphia in 2008, when he had 108 tackles. He will compete with Nate Irving and Steven Johnson for Denver's starting middle linebacker spot.
"Obviously, the standards on both sides of the ball are high here," said Bradley, who found out he was cut from the Cardinals while on his way home from his honeymoon. "I think it's a great combination when you can have a stout, strong defense on a team with a prolific offense."
One that's only bolstered by the presence of Welker.
"The Welker deal is a big deal. He's a great player and just another weapon on an already scary offense," Bradley said. "He's definitely a dangerous player because you think he's covered and you throw the ball to him, he's going to catch it. He's so versatile in the slot. He's a durable guy. He has been as productive of a guy as there is in the NFL in the past five or six years.

Duke's prison plea for a gun would be a smash on Broadway
Though I can't write a song anybody would want to hear — or carry a tune, for that matter — I have for several years dreamed of producing a Broadway musical.
Working title: "Top Son of a Gun."
Like the hit NBC series "Smash," which feasts upon the erotically charged life of Marilyn Monroe, my musical would celebrate in dance and song the ribald rise and fall of the most corrupt congressman ever caught, gutted and thrown on ice.
I know what you're thinking right now.
Jenkins, you've had your fun with the decorated Navy ace. The guy's just about served his time in federal prison. He's old for his age, sick and probably depressed. Give it a rest already.
On a certain human level, I agree with you. In the past seven years, I've delighted, for example, in insisting that the heroic nickname of "Duke" — and the cuddly (and subliminally lascivious) "Randy" — would never be used in this space except in a humorous sense.
Yes, I'm sensitive to the charge that I'm obsessed with the comic potential of Randall Harold Cunningham, the high-flying, crash-landing former congressman.
The trouble is, Cunningham keeps popping up with new material that makes me go all Busby Berkeley. I can't help it. I hear the rip-roaring sound of music whenever he reappears.
In what could provide the lyrics for a showstopping Ethel Merman-style ballad — "Dukie Don't Get a Gun"? — our anti-hero wrote Judge Larry A. Burns a barely literate all-cap screed begging for the restoration of his Second Amendment rights when he's released from custody.
The letter begins with a woe-is-me plea for sympathy: "This dark period in my life is about to get a little lighter but I do not think it will ever get sunny."
Cunningham is projecting ahead to his transition to a halfway house in Little Rock, Ark., at the end of the year and his plan to live near his 98-year-old mother and his brother somewhere around "Greer's Lake" (Greers Ferry, I assume), a rural area in The Natural State far "away from the Union Tribune."
Cunningham plans to live a hermetic life "in a small cabin ... and write my books, several I have finished in prison." He goes on to lament that, after being strip-mined by the government, he will receive a pittance of $1,700 to live on — "don't guess we can do to (sic) much for our veterans after all."
Finally, after this opening Evita-like "Cry for Me, America," he focuses on his real purpose in writing: "I competed nationally in trap, sheet (he must mean 'skeet') and sporting clays and would rather be in the woods hunting and fishing than anything else. I will live in a remote part of Arkansas and not much threat from people but they do have a lot of black bears, cougars and history of rabies."
Please, give me my arms, Cunningham sighs, so I won't be mauled by animals and "so I can earn a little money so I can eat." As a supporter of off-duty cops' gun rights (before he was busted) and a lifetime member of the NRA, Cunningham believes he's earned a waiver from the federal restriction regarding felons. Besides, he's manned some really, really big guns as a pilot. "I flew aircraft that could disintegrate your building with a half second burst and now can't carry a 22 cal."
Oh, the inhumanity! How far the mighty Duke has fallen!
"I don't have much time left," he goes on, "but this little thing is a big thing for me. ... My crime was non violent and a first time offense. I will use the weapon safely for hunting and competition. You have my word on it."

7 Facts About Annatto Seeds
The "poor man's saffron" is actually common in the Philippines! Know more.
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� �
����������������� Popular recipes with annatto seeds: Chicken Inasal, Java Rice, Jun Jun's Java Rice,
������ Adobo de Campesino, Fresh Papaya Lumpia, Pancit Sotanghon Guisado, Grilled Chicken-mansi
�� ������������������������
1� They were all yellow
Orange, yellow, red Annatto seeds (also called achiote or atsuete) are the terra cotta-colored seeds of the achiote or annatto tree (also known as the lipstick tree) native to the Central and South Americas.
2� Say cheese!
Shaped like tiny stones, they are primarily used to give an orange, yellow, or red color to foods like butter, margarine, various cheeses (Cheddar, Gouda, Brie), and smoked fish.
3� Saffron-ish
The annatto seeds have been called the "poor man's saffron" since the color they produce is similar to that of the prized seasoning.
4� Coast to coast
Aside from Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, annatto seeds are also present in Asian cooking (used as basting oil for our chicken inasal and as coloring for China's roast pork).
5� Taste test
They have a mild peppery flavor and slight lemony scent.
6� Very fine indeed
The seeds are either ground to a fine powder, or steeped in oil or water to extract its color and taste. It is then added to marinades, sauces, stews, and rice dishes. However, since annatto has been linked to many food-related allergies, precautions must be taken in using it.
7� Where to buy
Annatto seeds are widely available at the spice section of supermarkets and at wet markets. Stored in an airtight container away from sunlight, the seeds will keep for about a year.

Thanks Kevin.
But looking into the STATION_LINE table, it is not normalised if we use one PK. The primary key of this table should be a composite key, made up of 3 columns, line_id, stat_id, and direction_id. This is because the next station is only determined by these 3 attributes together.
In addition, do I miss something in the tables if you consider the requirements carefully?
Anyone has suggestion on this? Thanks a lot!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnieA Love this Product This is the best nail glue I have found by far!! I love to use glue on nails when in a hurry to get my nails done, it beats waiting for polish to dry. I will be using glue on nails way more often now that I've found this glue gel. The glue gel is very easy to apply and not messy like other glues I have used and it does not ooze out when applying the fake nail to the natural nail. The glue on nails stay on for at least a week verses three to four days and they hold nice and tight the whole time with no lifting and it does not damage my natural nails. I am not a professional salon person I just like to do my own nails to keep costs down and this product is awesome for do it yourselfers. August 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ParrottK Great! I think this stuff is great. I have used it for acrylic dips and recently glue on nails. My glue on nails have stayed on for two weeks. Usually you don't have glue on nails on long enough for them to grow out, it's about time to soak them off and apply new ones! July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Myself The best I have found! This is the best glue for gluing fake nails on. It will last a full week easily. It is very gentle on my natural nails. It is well worth the money!! July 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by juanie79 love this i bought this one because of the reviews, i tried it and its true, the salon nails make my nails hurt and brittle, so i buy the press on nails and decorate them myself and tantan ive worn the second set of nails for over a week now and still glue is holding on strong, beats the pain and the amount of money we spend to get out nails done at the salon, dont even have trouble taking them off. love this glue. also im a mother of three children i was dishes about 4 time plus a day and clean etc and my nails are fully intact.

Can I use this glue with the ASP Quick Dip Acrylic kit? I'm running low on the glue provided with the kit, and I can't find it by itself.
If not this brand is there another one that can be used? The ingredients on this one seem to be about the same to the one provided in the kit. Thanks. :)

The Horror Squad Movie Club is a new weekly feature where we pick a film, watch it and then discuss it. Feel free to read our introduction for more info.
Judging from Saturday's Twitter exchange (thanks for using the #hsmovieclub hash tag!), I think it's safe to say that many of you felt that Night of the Demons 2 wasn't a perfect film, but it was a hell of a lot of fun. Most of you kept comparisons to the original at a minimum, and no one has changed my mind -- for me, Brian Trenchard-Smith's version of the Halloween party at Hull House is where it's at. Like Peter, I don't particularly have any discussion questions for the group, but I'll highlight some of the things I enjoy about the film, which if you didn't get a chance to watch over the weekend, just watch it when you can and come back here to leave a comment. The rest of you, speak up after the jump.
Beware of yonder spoilers!
Brian Trenchard-Smith
Most film nerds are familiar with the Aussie director's other titles like The Man from Hong Kong or BMX Bandits, but yes -- BTS did indeed direct Night of the Demons 2, which I would watch over his Leprechaun films any day. No disrespect to the Irish guy though, he's a late night favorite and the idea of a killer leprechaun is just so ridiculous I can't help but enjoy them. Trenchard-Smith (one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite directors) uses some of the plot devices from the first film but amps up the pace considerably, resulting in a spirited and over the top latter half. This man knows how to end a film, partly due to his experience as a seasoned television director, and the double fight with our villainess Angela (first in demoness form, second as a crazy snake lady) is total satisfaction. He keeps the gore and humor flowing, remedying one of my biggest complaints about the original film.
Gore & Gags
You know it's going to be a good time when two people get slaughtered in the first five (if it even took that long) minutes of the film. Lots of naked breasts, awkward homosexual tension/jokes (Perry's character is a great example of this alone), sexually aggressive female creatures & characters, a dose of blasphemy and gratuitous lesbian make out sessions all let you know that this is a movie not worried about being on its best behavior. This contributes to movie's 80's throwback appeal, along with the charming practical effects (let's just ignore that CGI at the end) where things like the "headless" basketball player who looks 10 feet tall and hiding under his shirt makes you smile because of how simple but effective they are. Bodies melting and exploding remind you of other low-budget, 80's favorites like Fright Night. Also, any movie that uses lipstick and turns it into pseudo tentacle porn that resembles animal genitalia has some cajones. Other favorite moments include the killer breasts, a demonic talking head in a toilet, the obscene black tongue that Angela and her victims seem to sprout and wag around lewdly and a disembodied hand giving a half-hearted hand job and a middle finger to one of the male leads. But my favorite gags of all are based around Jennifer Rhodes' character, Sister Gloria, which brings me to my next point...
Sister Gory Kicks Ass
Some of you already know about my nunsploitation fixation, which explains why Sister Gloria (better known as Sister Gory to her students) is one of my favorite characters in Night of the Demons 2. In one of her first scenes, we find her fencing with a yard stick -- and it only gets better from there. She also has the best lines in the film: "A kiss is a sin when it's an upper persuasion for a lower invasion," is just one of the gems to come out of her mouth. Yes, she can be a total bitch to her students (inverting a challenge to Shirley to define fellatio in class), but her snarky attitude is to be admired. Sister Gory gets the job done; when all hell breaks loose, she doesn't back down and arms herself with a slew of hilarious weapons including nunchucks and squirt guns & balloons filled with holy water. Even though she's a lean, mean, demon-fighting machine, Sister Gory roots for the underdog. She's one of the only people to listen to Perry's satanic ramblings and she's always looking out for Melissa aka Mouse (Merle Kennedy). In a group of fun characters (virgin, whore, best friend, delinquent, geek and jock tropes), Rhodes stands out as the one who's most fun to watch. You can also watch Rhodes in the Cinematical Movie Club's pick, Heathers. Go check it out!
I could ramble on and on about my love for this film -- which I think is one of the best horror flicks of the 90's, but I'll spare all of you and instead ask that you comment below. Do you agree? Disagree? Is there something I forgot to mention that you have a burning need to discuss?

Stay within your budget during your stay by taking advantage of the low prices on Dollar Rent A Car's varied selection of Ontario rental cars as well as additional Ontario discounts. You can also save money by engaging in some of these activities:
Peruse the Maclin Open Air Markets
Drive your Ontario car rental to one of the largest outdoor bazaars in the state - the Maclin Open Air Markets, which is located on East Riverside Drive and open Tuesday, Saturdays and Sundays from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. You don't have to purchase anything to have a good time here. Walk through 40 acres to visit the friendly livestock, such as sheep, pigs, horses and goats, that live on the grounds. You can also window shop more than 50 vendors selling live birds, handmade jewelry, fresh-cut flowers and other goods.
Walk through the Chaffey Community Museum of Art
Park your Ontario car rental downtown and walk over to the Chaffey Community Museum of Art. This free museum invites residents and tourists alike to walk through the galleries and take in the contemporary collection. Along with looking through sculptures, paintings and works of other mediums by local artists, take some time to appreciate the building itself - the museum is housed in what was once the Ontario Power Company. The institution also hosts an array of special events, such as informative talks, wine tastings, fundraisers and dinners, though such occasions may require an admission fee.
