A caisson rolls; rifle shots echo. A bugler blows taps, and a flag is folded with white-gloved hands.
Mourners wipe away tears. Another veteran is laid to rest.
Last year, about 682,000 former service members passed into history, the peak of a demographic wave that has been building for decades.
Across the 77½ scenic acres of Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma, the loss is made tangible in the names newly etched on white-marble stones.
"I've trimmed every one of these graves myself," said Ray Bottino, 56, a former soldier who has worked at the cemetery for 27 years. "It becomes real when you see it every day."
The crowded cemetery has been closed to most casket burials for the past four decades. But Fort Rosecrans remains a busy place, its life extended by the construction of thousands of spaces for urns. Altogether, more than 96,000 veterans and their family members have been laid to rest there.
Fort Rosecrans' total grew by at least 2,600 last year. The annual increase could reach as high as 6,000 once new burial ground opens on property acquired at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station. That could happen by next year, said Kirk Leopard, the cemetery's director.
He recently offered a look inside a typical week at Fort Rosecrans. The families of most of the 25 veterans memorialized there between April 12 and 18 shared stories of their loved ones.
All but four of the veterans served during wartime. Two were women who joined during an era when few of their gender wore the uniform.
The service members went on to become college professors, car dealers, butchers, carpenters. One man barely missed becoming a victim of one of the nation's worst mass killings. Another caught an orange tossed by Boston Red Sox star Ted Williams.
Most of the veterans lived well into their golden years, but at least two died before their 50th birthday.
Few had a stronger sense of duty than Michael Monteforte of Vista, who joined the Navy during World War II, soon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. He died last year on Pearl Harbor Day at age 84, and his ashes were interred at Fort Rosecrans on April 17.
Monteforte's military career spanned 26 years and three wars. He retired as a senior chief petty officer and for a while owned a restaurant near Montgomery Field. He also worked for 27 years in construction and maintenance for a golf-course-management company before he was nudged into retirement at age 78, said his son, Vincent.
But Monteforte had no interest in staying idle, so he started his own construction company. He assisted friends all the time and liked helping neighborhood children with woodworking projects.
Two years ago, Vincent Monteforte stopped by to take his father to a clinic for cancer treatment. He found his 82-year-old dad building something for a neighbor.
"He was a crazy dude," the son recalled.
Two hours after Monteforte's burial rites at Fort Rosecrans, another former Navy chief was laid to rest. Larry Dicks, 71, of Lakeside had been raised by his grandparents in rural Colorado and joined the Navy when he was 16. He served aboard the aircraft carriers Enterprise, Saratoga and Hancock.

They will then travel to Trinidad & Tobago for another tour before returning to North America.
One of the main objectives of the tour is to give the Ontario players much needed exposure and the OCA is extremely thankful to their sponsors whose generosity made the tour possible, especially The Scotia Bank.
The OCA is also thankful to the Consulate General of Guyana Hon. Sattie Sawh and the Consulate General of Trinidad and Tobago Dr. Vidya Maharaj for their unprecedented cooperation in arranging visas for their players at very short notice.
Also coming in for praise were the Ministry of Sports in Guyana, Mr. Suruj Ragoonath, CEO of Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board and Mr. Raj Singh, President of Demerara Cricket Board.
The OCA is looking forward to a wonderful tour and hopes that it will forge greater ties among Canada, Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago in a competitive, friendly and educational environment.

|Language of the shortlist
|Friday, 11 December 2009 15:27
How do the most respected corporate reporters use language in their annual reports?: Harriet Hobbs of Stratton Vraig looks at the four nominated companies for Best Overall Annual Report in the FTSE 100 category at the IRS Best Practice Awards.
When these reports appeared, all four companies were in the eye of the storm which hit the financial markets in 2008. Some felt the effects more keenly than others.3i report
The 3i cloud is about as gloomy as they come. During the financial year to March 2009, the private equity group was in the thick of a rapid economic downturn. It took a beating, reporting a record loss of £2.15 billion in the year to March 2009. The cloud is darkened by words like 'debt' (54 mentions), 'fall' (32), and 'loss' (25). The word 'gearing' is mentioned 15 times. Given that 3i's own gearing reached an excruciating 103%, while net debt stood at more than £2 billion this is perhaps not surprising. The word 'upturn' is dangled in front of investors' noses in the chairman's statement but not frequently enough to make it onto the cloud.
M&S report
Marks & Spencer was suffering more than its fair share as a result of the downturn. The words 'customer' and 'food' are writ large as it seeks to reassure investors it is focusing on shoppers and its food offering in the face of stiff competition. What is striking though is the word 'governance' with 75 mentions in all. At the time, Sir Stuart Rose was taking flak for taking on both the chairman and chief executive roles. The repetition of 'governance' may play into the popular idea that if you say a word often enough, people will start to believe you are doing something about it. Now just the chairman, Sir Stuart recently described the Christmas 2008 trading period as "Armageddon" – although there is no reference to that word in the cloud.
Centrica report
In Centrica's annual report, the word 'customer' is mentioned more frequently than the word 'shareholder', which is perhaps surprising given its investor audience. This may be part of a broader attempt to present a customer-friendly face after the soaring profits at its residential unit.
Tullow Oil report
But the picture was brighter at Tullow Oil, and this cloud's lining looks distinctly silver compared to the others. The words 'upside' and 'potential' appear frequently with 'success' garnering 96 mentions. The company is not shy about its good fortune. The words 'deliver', 'growth', 'success' and 'strong' (which is mentioned 66 times) feature heavily. But the tone is measured, a reflection perhaps of the hazardous nature of its business: the word 'risks' crops up 110 times.
The word 'responsibility' comes up in all clouds (except Marks & Spencer's). While it's probably a regular term in annual reports you can't help wondering if this rather mundane word might suddenly have become attractive – sexy even – as companies seek to soothe and reassure their investors in the wake of the seismic events of 2008.

We're two days away from President Obama's first State of the Union address. I personally wait with bated breath. The President threw some punches last week at the big banks on financial reform. Will he do the same on climate?
It's widely agreed that much of his speech will be either a defensive play after last week's Massachusetts election, or a proactive one, repositioning in anticipation of losing the Democratic supermajority in the Senate when Brown takes office. What is unclear to many is the extent to which the election of a conservative republican to the senate will have an effect on global climate change. Let me say that this Massachusetts shot has been heard 'round the world, and it hasn't been well received.
First, some new stats. According to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies the first decade of the 21st Century was the hottest on record. 2009 virtually tied 6 other years (all since 1998) for the second warmest year since records began in 1880. So for one thing, it's still hot out there, and the heat is on.
(Image credit: NASA/GISS)
In the face of these ever-rising temperatures, the countries most affected by climate change made direct pleas at the Copenhagen UNFCCC conference last month. Among these was an impassioned statement by Ian Fry, a delegate from the sinking island nation of Tuvalu. As the world's climate negotiators worked to frame the debate in the first week, Fry stated:
It's an irony of the modern world that the fate of the world is being determined by some Senators in the US Congress.
From UNFCCC Website
Irony indeed. The United States responded to a beseeching world by brokering the Copenhagen Accord - behind closed doors and among a small set of countries, including India and China. No doubt, in the State of the Union, the President would have evoked the success of this agreement. The Accord is a three-page, non-binding document with a signature page where countries ink their commitments to emissions reductions - risk free. It's kind of like answering a pledge drive to save the planet - but in this case, when six months later you haven't honored the pledge, no one will phone you during dinner to persuade you to write the check. The signature due date is January 31, 2010. So who's signing the Accord? Not even its brokers.
The Indian newspaper The Hindu, reports that:
India and China have had a rethink on signing...and the UN has also indefinitely postponed its January 31 deadline.
The article goes on to quote an Indian official who admits that India was to sign the accord because it was safe to do so - it had no legal teeth and would be regarded as a good diplomatic move. The official also says that according to a UN official, the defeat of the Democrats in Massachusetts has contributed to the postponement. The Indian official notes:
So if the US is not going to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent, which was a very weak target anyway, why should we make any commitment even if it does not have any legal teeth?
Of the major developed countries, only Australia and Canada have signed. But they have done so without making any commitment of emissions reductions, a prerequisite of signing the accord. And with a US climate bill in jeopardy, why would they?
On April 19th, 1775, in Lexington Massachusetts, American rebels pulled a trigger that fired the "shot heard 'round the world" - starting a long war of independence from British tyranny. On January 19th, 2010, Massachusetts' voters pulled a trigger of their own, electing Scott Brown to the senate and shifting the political chessboard. In doing so, they fired a shot that was heard loud and clear the world over - the prospects for meaningful climate policy in the US are looking bleaker than ever, and from the perspective of the nations like Tuvalu, struggling with the effects of climate change, climate tyranny marches on. King takes pawn.

@TechReport {export:220591, abstract = {
Search systems have traditionally required searchers to formulate information needs as a set of keywords rather than in a more natural form, such as questions. Recent studies have found that search engines are observing an increase in the fraction of Web search queries that take the form of natural language. As part of building better search engines, it is important to understand the nature and prevalence of these intentions, and the impact of this increase on search engine performance and searcher efficiency. In this work, we study the behaviors of search engines when handling keyword-based queries and natural language questions, as well as the costs incurred by searchers in creating query statements of each form. We show that although informational search intentions are often expressed as keyword queries, when given the same search intent expressed as a query and as a natural language question, search engines in fact perform equally well in terms of relevance. Since creating queries has been assumed to be challenging, this equality should support an increase in question-querying. However, question formulation has an associated cost, e.g., we show that generating natural language questions for search engines takes much longer than keyword queries for the same intent. Our findings suggest that searchers should stick with keyword queries and that the increase in question prevalence is related to factors beyond search engine performance.}, author = {Ryen W.

Streaming game service OnLive has begun taking orders for its home console, with shipments beginning on December 2.
The hardware package will retail for $99 in the US and consists of the Micro Console TV adaptor, one free game, the OnLive Wireless Controller and related cables.
OnLive claims that initial set up takes around three minutes, with games up and running on HDTV's within seconds.
The Micro Console is 1080p and 3D TV compatible, and supports up to four controllers and Bluetooth or USB headsets for in-game voice chat. The controller itself has variable rumble settings and a Brag Clip button to capture game footage.
If users already have access to OnLive on their PC or Mac, games can also be played via the Micro Console.
The company has also said it will offer a flat-rate fee for unlimited access to its library of games, as well as 3-day and 5-day rentals, with actual price details to come.
"This is a big day for OnLive. It's the culmination of more than eight years of hard work by many people, both at OnLive and at our partners, to realise a dream that so many people said was impossible," commented Steve Perlman, CEO of OnLive.
"My hat's off to the team for their dedication and sacrifice to reach this incredible achievement. It has been an honour to work with everyone who made this dream a reality.
Major publishers including Take-Two, Square Enix, Codemasters and Ubisoft already offer their games via the service.

Call me old school, but I'd rather have a gaming collection I can touch - not one that is stored electronically somewhere. I can't imagine games being much cheaper on On Live than they are on disc. Also, will there be new releases that coincide with the disc's release? Most of the games I saw on the commercial for this were all games that are recent but in the gaming marketplace, they are old news.
Also, I trade a lot of my games. I don't think you can do this with On Live, I know you can rent games, but this whole system takes away the tangibility of owning games.

The AFFL, a 12-team fantasy football league from Los Angeles, has been crowned champion of Papa John's "Fantasy to Reality" contest. The competition sought to find the fantasy football league that's better than the rest.
Papa John's, the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL, conducted the nationwide search online, highlighted by a smack-talk heavy dialogue on Facebook. The AFFL generated a majority of the votes on Facebook, as well as from the expert panel that was led by NFL All-Pro Antonio Gates and ESPN's Matthew Berry.
The league beat out four other finalists with more than 1.4 million "likes" on Facebook.
Each year since 2005, 12 team owners – and long-time friends – battle it out for the coveted AFFL Championship Ring, which bears the league's creed: "Survival of the Luckiest." League Commissioner Raffi Lalazarian of Los Angeles manages the league's website, which features customized team pages, weekly articles and podcast interviews with team owners.
The AFFL wins fantasy football bragging rights, and Lalazarian wins a trip for himself and a guest to New York City for the 2011 NFL Draft. At the event, he will represent the 27 million fantasy football players throughout the country.
"As the official pizza sponsor of the NFL, and being known for 'Better Ingredients, Better Pizza,' Papa John's set out to find the fantasy football league that was worthy of being deemed better than the rest," said Andrew Varga, Papa John's chief marketing officer. "Raffi and The AFFL, like Papa John's Pizza, were a cut above the rest with their fantastic website, podcasts, substance, creativity and overall passion for delivering a better fantasy experience for its members."
The competition began in September. Fantasy football players and commissioners were asked to enter their leagues via essays submitted online.
Five finalists were selected on Nov. 30 and the popular vote took place between Dec. 1 and 12.
The other four finalists will each be rewarded a $100 Papa Card. The leagues are: Excessive Celebration, entered by Brent Johnson of Atlanta; The Dude Abides, entered by Hunt Meacham of Charlotte, N.C.; Southern Illinois Fantasy Football, entered by Donald Basta of Carterville, Ill.; and The Coaches Poll, entered by Peter LaBauve of Columbus, Ohio.
Papa John's is in the first year of a multi-year sponsorship with the NFL.
The company also sponsors the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, Tennessee Titans and Washington Redskins.

Going organic is a fashionable trend right now. But there's a reason. Organic solutions genuinely help to improve our natural ecosystems. Consuming organic foods and beverages can also result in a healthier you. We see both restaurants and grocery stores offering 'organic' food products. In fact, even some fast food places are getting on board with the trend. Although it is widely accepted that going organic is a healthy choice, have you ever actually questioned what makes a food or other product 'organic'?
Organic – What It Means
Organic foods are produced without the use of pesticides or fertilizers; no chemicals are added in any form. In addition, renewable resources are used and soil as well as water is conserved. Organic dairy products, meats and poultry come from animals that receive no growth hormones or antibiotics.
Similarly, organic alcohol is created through the use of production methods that do not create pollution of water, soil or air. It is made from products that have been grown without the use of fertilizers and or pesticides. In other words, it is chemical-free.
This is an important point. In fact, some studies indicate that chemicals used to speed up the production of alcohol can lead to salts and heavy metals remaining in the final alcohol product. Not only is it a good thing to have fewer chemicals in your body, but theoretically this can result in fewer or less intense hangover tendencies. Organic alcohol is definitely a healthier choice.
Learn more about this interesting concept by doing a search for online vodka deals and other organic spirits. Besides finding out more about the production process you will also learn about places near you that sell organic alcohol. If you don't find a nearby location, don't panic; the organic alcohol trend is increasing. That means it will soon be offered in more places.
It should be noted that organic or not, too much alcohol can be a bad thing. In the end though, organic foods and drinks are a healthier choice and their production processes are kinder to the environment. However, there may still be a downside to these options; in almost every case, organic products are more expensive than their non-organic counterparts.
The Highs and Lows of Organic Spirits
Organic spirits are becoming more readily available at liquor stores and bars everywhere. Obviously, this is a growing trend and most people appreciate eating, and drinking, in a healthier way. The fact that hangovers may be decreased is definitely a bonus for choosing organic spirits. Unfortunately, the higher price tag for organic alcohol can be a deterrent for some.
The reality is, in the long run at least, healthier choices are less expensive options. Consumers are looking for all kinds of healthy solutions these - compression garments, healthy snack foods, electric no-tobacco cigarettes. It makes sense that one of humanity's oldest guilty pleasures, alcohol, would be welcomed as an opportunity to improve the Earth.
First, consider the fact that organic alcohol may mean fewer hangovers. In some cases, that could be translated as less 'down' time and even result in savings on hangover remedies.
Keeping your body free of chemicals is not only desirable, it is the best way to be. Altering our overall industrial wear and tear on the environment by going organic will not only help consumers, it will reduce our overall carbon emissions, which in the long term can help combat climate change. Therefore, when choosing any food or drink product your health and the health of the environment should always be a high priority.

Millennium Development Goals
Armed violence and remnants of conflict devastate lives. It is no coincidence that the world's 10 poorest countries are either in a state of conflict or emerging from one.
The Millennium Development Goals represent the most significant effort ever made by the international community to fight global poverty and inequality. In 2000, all world leaders signed up to achieving eight MDGs by 2015.
MAG's operations are designed as a 'livelihood approach', enabling communities to achieve local results that enhance the chance of reaching the first and most important Millennium Goal: eradicating extreme poverty and hunger by 50 per cent by 2015.
By releasing land, increasing safe access to vital resources – water, education, trade and health services – in many of these countries, MAG's work actively contributes to the chances of achieving the Millennium Development Goals, particularly the first: eradicating extreme poverty and hunger by 50 per cent in 2015.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimated that in 2010 a total of 925 million people were undernourished.
Landmines, explosive ordnance and malfunctioning, badly stored and abandoned weapons all deny communities access to land, water and infrastructure, keeping people in poverty.
They also hamper the work of governments, and relief and development agencies, preventing access to life-saving resources and undermining development.

Catamount Ski Getaways
What does Catamount in the Berkshires have in common with Heavenly Valley in the Sierras?
Both resorts straddle a state line. In Heavenly's case it's the California/Nevada line. In Catamount's it's the Massachusetts/New York state line. But you can't really tell what side of the line you're on at Catamount by looks alone. It's simply a pretty place in the Berkshires.
Long and wide trails characterize much of Catamount's terrain and there's a trail in this style for all levels. Beginners and families enjoy the Meadows Area that is a complex of 7 green circle "easier" trails and two blue square "more difficult" trails served by the Meadows Triple Chairlift and the 300' Wonder Carpet surface lift. The Meadows area makes Catamount a Berkshire leader in beginner terrain.
Intermediate and advanced skiers love the fabulous trails from the summit served by the Ridge Quad Chairlift. Ridge Run is an intermediate trail that takes you on a 2-mile route to the base area via the Promenade trails. Upper and Lower Sidewinder for intermediates extends over 1 mile to the base area. The Glade and Alley Cat trails are super diamond runs and Catapult is a true double diamond trail for experts. Snowboarders and freestyle skiers love the Catamount Terrain Park (CTP for short) with its many rails boxes and table-top jumps. The 400' Halfpipe and 800' Boardercross track on Sunrise provide additional thrills. If you are just getting into freestyle, the Junior Jib Park located next to the Halfpipe alongside Lower Prominade is the place for you.
The resort has quietly expanded the years with two new chairlifts, a second base lodge and additional snowmaking. Once the season is underway Catamount keeps the lights on Wednesday through Saturday for night skiing. Monday through Thursday, non-holiday periods, Catamount offers the best value in snow country with $15 daytime lift tickets. If you buy a private lesson on these $15 days your lift ticket is FREE! Learn to Ski and Snowboard packages are $65 any day.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a nice carry on case which will keep a laptop safe as well??
Pc world dont seem to have any good ones and I'm a bit stumped now

I use a Solo brand for work. It's quite nice and carries the laptop securely.
I also have another laptop "bag" I use. It's a Tumi. It's very nice too and I switch between them.
The Tumi, is a bit smaller and easier for me to handle on the many internal flights I take.
Although I have/do flown/fly with the Solo it's a bit bigger and sometimes depending upon the plane (I prefer aisle seats) won't fit nicely under the seat in front of me.
Targus is another brand that I've seen as well as the brand that has the little red cross on it like the Swiss Guard. Can't quite remember the name.
I'll say this, the Tumi bag has a padded, separate case for the laptop. Once I pull that out of the bag proper, and then take the laptop out of the case, the padded case makes a nice lap cushion for the laptop.
Did that make any sense?
Petey!!!!!!! We were all worried about you.... what with the swine flu and that.

Pete, I use Targus which is one of the makes Tink mentioned but it's a bit old now and I'm not finding their current range very compelling :/

I use a TravelPro wheeled tote, with my laptop cushioned in a neoprene case. In warm weather, I can pack two or three days clothing in it with an extra pair of shoes and basic toiletries. And my geek bag--all those cords and things we need for our electronics. I've had the tote for three years, and it's still going strong. I occasionally check it, if I don't have my laptop in it.
I've also been know to use a small, wheeled duffel (19" including wheels) with my laptop snuggled into the neoprene case and cushioned between clothing. That can get me through up to a week--depending on dress requirements--in warmer weather. Doesn't work with serious business or formal clothing, though. They need more space. A note of caution: it doesn't fit under the seats--at least on Southwest! The frame doesn't allow it to bend sufficiently to coax it under the seat.

Hello December. Hello December Daily.
Lots of little stories around here today. Have not decided which story to document in the 4×6 book yet and will not have time to document today's story tonight but I do want to share some photos …
Overall, it was a good day.
Went to the Good Street Food and Design Market for some holiday crafting and shopping.
Good music. Good company. Good design. Good stuff. Good fun.
Danita and Monique are visiting from Los Angeles. We stopped for lunch at Chando's Tacos — reminds me of the days at Hollenbeck.
While my boy napped, I worked on our first advent calendar. I have a list of activities I'd like to do with him to celebrate this magical month so I will write them on 3×4 cards and stick them in the pockets. The pockets will slip nicely into the Project Life sheet protectors so I'm thinking I will stick them in there once done. Since I am doing both Project Life and December Daily, I'm thinking that the Project Life photos will document our advent calendar adventures.
Books I picked up for him last month at various thrift stores. They will be wrapped and opened during the 8 days of Hanukkah.
We love Duplos. These are a few pieces I collected in the past few months and will be part of our advent calendar adventures. I've been scouring Craigslist and Ebay for these goodies.
These two are funny. So glad to have them here visiting.
Meals are more fun with good friends.
Samuel loves them too. This is the third book he had Monique read to him. They kept coming — one right after the other.
Ended the evening with more books and a trip to Leatherby's Family Creamery.
Samuel loves to show off his new found skills. "Picture. Picture." — he managed to say it with the spoon in his mouth. That's my boy.
Off to bed. Getting up early for the California International Marathon Relay. I have the first leg which starts at 7 am. It will be pouring and I will be drenched after 6 miles but it will be a blast.

The BC Sustainable Tourism Collective (BCSTC) is a group of six influential tourism operators with communications support provided by the Tartan Group.
The BCSTC was founded on the vision that travel within B.C. can foster appreciation and stewardship for the natural environment, regions and communities. For this purpose, sustainable tourism is defined as travel that ensures destinations remain unspoiled for future generations through commitment to environmental, social and economic responsibility as it relates to a company, its people, guests, local communities and the environment.
The BCSTC believes that, by supporting each other in a collective goal to become leaders in sustainable tourism, it can build value for its member companies and their guests and it can influence the tourism sector, governments and local communities to identify and implement sustainable best practices.
Since first forming in 2006, the BCSTC has made presentations on the collective to the North American Sustainable Tourism Conference, hosted by The International Ecotourism Society (2007), attend Ecotourism Australia's annual conference, been an active member of the Province of British Columbia's Green Tourism Forum, and won the bid to co-host the 2008 North American Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference being held in Vancouver, B.C.
The BCSTC is focusing on three priorities: (1.) climate change; (2.) human resources; and (3.) guest education. The BCSTC hopes to become the leader for sustainable tourism development within the tourism industry, with members serving as mentors through the sharing of best practices and encouraging other BC tourism operators to follow their lead.

Local Elections 2014: Independent Loxford and other independent candidates lose out
11:20 30 May 2014
The Redbridge elections were a disappointment for the Independent Loxford group.
Filly Maravala and Virendra Tewari failed to retain their seats, with their votes of 1,670 and 1,318 not enough to beat Labour.
Both men were elected to the council in 1994 and Mr Maravala was mayor in 1999/2000.
Newcomer Saima Butt also lost out.
Mr Maravala, who continued to protest about postal votes, said: "I would like to thank all of my residents, even though they didn't vote for me, for the love and support they have extended to me over the last 20 years."
Upon leaving Labour in May 2013, Mr Maravala said his 3,403 votes in 2010 were for "Filly Maravala the man" and that he "could have been running for the Monster Raving Loony Party".
When asked about this, Mr Maravala said he believed action groups took credit for some of the things he did and that could be why he received less votes this time.
Independents Andy Walker and Harold Moth also lost out.
Mr Walker, running as the Save King George Hospital Party, received 1,092 votes in Aldborough, while Mr Moth received 658 in Fullwell.
Mr Walker, elected in 2010, was deselected by Labour for the elections and resigned from the party in 2013.
Mr Moth, who served on the council from 1974 to 1994, was elected in 1998 but expelled from the Conservative group in 2012 for allegedly making allegations against fellow members.
He joined the Redbridge Independent Group in 2013.
Despite having success elsewhere, Ukip failed to win any seats and nor did the Green Party.

Madison Speaks Up for MSBy Posted: May 1, 2006
Among Martha Madison's (Belle) accomplishments since joining DAYS OF OUR LIVES, she is most proud of being named a national ambassador to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
"As someone who has a public platform, I can help educate people on multiple sclerosis — what it is, what it does, and how it affects everyone who has the disease or knows someone that does," asserts Madison. "It's a cause that has always been very close to my heart."
Madison knows all too well about the effects of multiple sclerosis, first hand. Her mother, Barbara, has endured the disease for over 20 years, and Madison has witnessed her mom suffer since she was a child.
"My mom has had several major attacks that hospitalized her for long periods of time," remembers Madison. "She's been immobile. She's been blind. She's suffered from Bell's palsy in her face. She's had to use a cane. She's had to use a walker. I've admired her strength and determination through all of it. Luckily, my mom is one of the few that pretty much recovered from a lot of her attacks. She is still mobile. However, today, she suffers from MS-induced dementia, which is similar to Alzheimer's disease."
Inspired by her mother's battle, Madison was eager to do something. So she asked DAYS' publicity department to contact the MS society "and tell them that I was interested in getting involved," recounts Madison. "They were very welcoming and excited to have me on board."
Madison attended her first event for the society last August. "It was their national convention in Atlanta. I got to meet all the people in charge and all the different ambassadors, including Teri Garr. She gave a great speech and talked about her book, Speed Bumps," recalls Madison. "That's exactly what MS does to your life: It creates speed bumps, and it's all a matter of how you look at them. Teri has a lighthearted take on the whole situation and recognizes that you have to add humor to your life or this disease could devastate you. She's a great role model for people with MS."
Madison's last event was right in her own back yard, so to speak. "I just did the local L.A. chapter MS walk on April 9. I put together a team called The Salem Sprinters and got all of my friends at DAYS and outside of DAYS involved," says Madison, citing her boyfriend, A.J., Kyle Brandt (Philip), Daphne Bloomer (Eugenia), and producer Roy Steinberg among the mix. "We all met up for the 5K walk at U.S.C. Our team ended up raising over $3,500. One of our writers at DAYS, Jean Marie Ford, [pledged] $500. She was our biggest donor."
While Madison's mother has yet to accompany her to an MS event, she hopes that will change, soon. "Hopefully, she'll get to go to the next big one with me. I've already asked her," smiles Madison. "My mom is very excited about all of this. I don't think she really expected that I would ever do something like this."
In the meantime, Madison's goal is to do whatever she can to raise awareness for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. "I want people to learn about MS and to understand that it could happen to anyone at any time," explains Madison. "Very often, MS is overlooked, because it doesn't affect millions of people. It affects hundreds of thousands of people. I want it to get the recognition that it needs in order the raise the funds that it needs to do more research. No one knows what causes this disease, and there is no cure for it. However, they have come up with some great medications that help stop the progression of the lesions on the brain. Thankfully, my mom has had no progression in two years."

Larry Fedora Postgame Quotes
Opening Statement
"I'll be honest with you - good to get it over with. Our team had a great spring. We really did. We've come a long way. We've got a long way to go, but you got to see a few guys get out there and make some plays today. A lot of mistakes. A lot of guys. Anytime you split the team, you get real thin in a lot of areas, and it makes it that much tougher. The continuity is really hard. But the guys played hard today and that was the main thing."
On the running backs
"Really I thought all three of them played well. But Khris (Francis), for his first time out there in a game-type atmosphere, he did a good job. I don't know what he ended up with, but he hit some holes and exploded in them. One time I said I thought he got stood up. I said something to him and the next time he's got his shoulders down and he's running north-south. That's what he's got to do, so he did some nice things."
On Francis
"The thing about Khris is that Khris doesn't say a word. It's hard to get him to talk, but he's listening all the time. He takes coaching very well and he can. What he does a nice job of is you can say something and he can just take it to the field immediately and make it happen."
On the energy level
"It was really good today. You should always have a great energy level in today's type atmosphere. You've got all the things going out outside the stadium, inside the stadium. They saw the uniforms last night and they were jacked up about that. It was about them having fun today, and they did that."
On today's performance and moving forward
"I know we've got a long way to go. Up front on both sides of the ball we've still got to do a much better job. Defensively, we've got to stop the run. We were getting gassed in a lot of different areas. Offensively our tempo was very, very average to say the least. I didn't think there was anything special about it. You didn't see anything from our special teams today other than a few kicks and punts. We've got 138 days left. We've got a long way to go in 138 days."

List of Games for Linux Steam Client Leak
Subject: General Tech | October 9, 2012 - 01:26 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: valve, tux, steam, linux, gaming
A Steam client for Linux has been a long time in the making, but is definitely getting closer to release with an imminent public beta announced last month.
During the initial announcement, Valve hinted that at least one native Linux game would be available along with the new beta client. Many gamers have predicted that the game will be Valve's own zombie FPS Left 4 Dead 2. Now, thanks to a leaked list of games from Valve's CDR database, gamers can add a few more native Linux games to that list. Among the leaked native Linux games are:
- Amnesia: The Dark Descent
- Crusader Kings 2
- Cubemen
- Dungeons of Dredmor
- Dynamite Jack
- Eversion
- Galcon Fusion
- Serious Sam 3: BFE
- Solar 2
- SpaceChem
- Steel Storm: Burning Retribution
- Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP
- Trine 2
- Waveform
- World of Goo
Unfortunately, various id software titles with Linux ports appear to be absent as well as several popular Linux-only games such as Tuxracer, Super Tuxkart, and other games popular with a certain penguin. It will be interesting to see what newer games Steam is able to bring on board after the official launch as well. I expect to see games like FTL, for example. Further, I'm curious to see how well received Steam will be versus software like the Ubuntu Software Center!
You can find a full list of games currently on Steam (for Windows) that have native Windows binaries – and will likely make it onto the native Linux Steam client – on this wiki page.
Are you excited for Linux to (finally) get a Steam client?
Limited Access Steam for Linux Beta Coming In October
Subject: General Tech | September 30, 2012 - 01:07 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: valve, steam, linux, gaming
Valve software is slowly but surely moving towards supporting the open source Linux operating system with a new Steam client. The latest milestone is an announcement by Valve that it is extending the beta beyond its privately selected internal testers to a limited number of public users.
The upcoming public beta will be rolled out soon along with a sign up page where the public can apply. From that sign up list, Valve will be selecting 1,000 applicants to test the Linux version of its Steam client.
While Valve has not announced a specific date for the start of the beta (or when the sign up page will go live) beyond that it is coming "sometime in October," the company did provide a couple of tidbits of information on the beta client software.
The (limited) public beta will include the Steam game client, and a single Valve game. This beta client will run on Ubuntu 12.04 or above. Unfortunately, the beta will not include any additional playable games. Also the beta client will not include the recently released (on Windows) Big Picture Mode functionality.
Many users are speculating that the single game hinted at in the announcement will be the company's latest zombie co-op shooter Left 4 Dead 2, as Valve has shown off the game running on Linux before. Valve has stated that it is extending the beta beyond its internal testers to attempt to get a wider sample size and to be able to test the beta software on as many varied hardware configurations as possible.
Gamers that want a chance to be one of the 1,000 users that will be asked to participate in the beta should keep an eye out on the Linux blog on Valve's website.
Granted, this is a small step, and the final Steam client for Linux is probably a ways off still, but I am still excited. Like Scott mentioned, gaming is one of the things keeping me with Windows despite my interest in Linux Mint (that OS really flies on my system! ).
Or: the countdown to a fresh Start.
Over time – and not necessarily much of it – usage of a platform can become a marriage. I trusted Windows, nee MS-DOS, guardianship over all of my precious applications which depend upon it. Chances are you too have trusted Microsoft or a similar proprietary platform holder to provide a household for your content.
It is time for a custody hearing.
These are the reasons why I still use Windows – and who could profit as home wreckers.
1st Reason – Games
The most obvious leading topic.
Computer games have been dominated by Windows for quite some time now. When you find a PC game at retail or online you will find either a Windows trademark or the occasional half-eaten fruit somewhere on the page or packaging.
One of the leading reasons for the success of the PC platform is the culture of backwards compatibility. Though the platform has been rumored dead ad-infinitum it still exists – surrounded by a wasteland of old deprecated consoles. I still play games from past decades on their original platform.
Check in after the break to find out why I still use Windows.
Track your Linux powered laptops battery usage
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | September 26, 2012 - 05:21 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux
Power consumption on Linux has always been harder to track than on Windows, especially at a granular level to determine which components are the most power hungry in your system. Considering the huge outcry some users made at the release of kernel 3.5 and the high power draw they witnessed, monitoring power has become a hot topic for many. Phoronix just posted a review of PowerTOP, which shows the discharge rate of your laptops battery, as well as how much power your hardware is using including the number of interrupts it is sending to your CPU. For developers there is even a way to create hardware profiles for yourself and your users which will help you extend battery life for all your mobile Linux machines.
"Getting the longest battery life on portable Linux machines is yet another moving target as kernels and standards change and vendors continue to snuggle up to Microsoft at the expense of non-Windows users. There was a bit of controversy at the release of the 3.x kernel because it contained a power regression (or not a power regression but something else that behaved like a power regression depending on who was talking) and the result was that Linux got considerably less battery life than Windows on the same machines. This was especially obvious to dual-boot users. This is a long complex story, so if you're interested in the details see the links at the end."

Of course you know, this means war. Clover Trail supposedly can't run Linux
Subject: General Tech | September 14, 2012 - 04:41 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Medfield, linux, Intel, fud, clover trail
Clover Trail is Intel's next Atom, the chip which refuses to die, representing an evolution of Medfield and the x86 instruction set. That didn't stop Intel from making a bizarre statement that Linux will not run on Clover Trail, even though it ran fine on Medfield and is an OS for x86 architecture chips. It is more accurate to say that some features of Clover Trail will not currently work under Linux, specifically the new power states introduced in the new Atom. Until the Linux kernel catches up to the new technology the new C and P states which can turn off the clock on the chip while still enabling 'instant on' will be unavailable which is a far cry from not being able to run on the chip at all. Thanks to The Register for immediately stomping on that FUD.
"SAN FRANCISCO: CHIPMAKER Intel has confirmed that it will not provide support for Linux on its Clover Trail Atom chip.
Intel's Clover Trail Atom processor can be seen in various nondescript laptops around IDF and the firm provided a lot of architectural details on the chip, confirming details such as dual-core and a number of power states. However Intel said Clover Trail "is a Windows 8 chip" and that "the chip cannot run Linux"."

Intel's new HD2500 on Linux
Subject: Processors | August 20, 2012 - 08:07 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, Ivy Bridge, Intel, i5-3470, hd 2500
The new Ivy Bridge processors introduced a new member of Intel's graphics processor called the HD 2500, which has received less than positive reviews as the previous HD 3000 outperforms it. However those tests were for Windows applications and games, whereas the testing at Phoronix specifically pertains to the performance under Linux. They compare the i5-2400S, i5-2500K, i5-3470, and i7-3770K together in a series of benchmarks to not only test the performance but also their compatibility with Linux. It seems that perhaps the performance of the HD3000 and HD2500 are much closer in Linux than they were running under Windows, though both still lose out to the HD4000.
"Since the launch of Intel's Ivy Bridge processors earlier this year there have been many benchmarks of the Intel Core i7 3770K with its integrated HD 4000 graphics and then more recently have been Linux testing of the Intel Core i7 3517UE from the CompuLab Intense-PC and Intel Core i7-3615QM as found on the Apple Retina MacBook Pro. The newest Intel Ivy Bridge chip to play with at Phoronix is the Intel Core i5 3470, which bears an Intel HD 2500 graphics core. In this article are benchmarks of the Intel HD 2500 Ivy Bridge graphics with the open-source Intel Linux graphics driver stack."

Subject: General Tech | August 17, 2012 - 08:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: retina display, macbook pro, linux
While the hardware is certainly attractive, a Core i7 3615QM, 8GB DDR3-1600, a GT 650M and of course, the Retina display at 2880x1800, the new MacBook Pro is not for Linux users ... at least not yet. The issues Phoronix have seen with Thunderbolt on Linux also seem to extend to the MacBook Pro as a whole. No matter what distribution they tried, the display either did not work or it mangled the image to an unusable state as you can see below. Even worse, when Phoronix managed to at least connect to the machine in a way they could monitor it, they saw much greater power usage than with OSX.
"If you are planning to buy one of the new Apple MacBook Pro notebooks with a Retina Display for use under Linux, hold off on your purchase. Running the Retina MacBook Pro with Linux isn't a trouble-free experience and after using even the latest development code and jumping through various hoops, Linux on the latest Apple hardware is still less than an ideal experience. Linux support will improve for the Retina MacBook Pro in the coming months, but it's not likely to see any proper "out of the box" experience until next year."

Could you make money off of Linux games if they played better than on Windows Mr Carmack?
Subject: General Tech | August 8, 2012 - 08:14 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: valve, linux, left 4 dead, john carmack, gaming
While running at a measly 6fps means that the zombies will get you, at 315fps you can't complain that you didn't see them coming. That is the current frame rate Valve is reporting their Linux test machine can produce when playing the Linux implementation of Left 4 Dead. That hardware was a Core i7 3930k, GeForce GTX 680 and 32 GB RAM and we were given a result from the same hardware running Win7; a slower 303fps after tweaking OpenGL. That takes performance concerns out of the picture when discussing gaming on Linux but it does not quite answer what John Carmack brought up in his QuakeCon keynote speech. As he points out, building goodwill among the Linux community hasn't paid for the programming in the past and simply increasing performance will not directly translate into better sales figures. However if we start seeing more Linux based Valve titles outperforming Windows on the same hardware, some enthusiasts are likely to set up a dual boot system, if not move their gaming rig to Linux solely. Read more at The Inquirer.
"Valve announced its plans to port its Steam content delivery service and Left 4 Dead 2 to Linux just last month. The firm has already made astonishing progress, announcing that with various performance tweaks it has managed to get the Linux version of Left 4 Dead 2 using OpenGL to run significantly faster than the Direct3D Windows 7 version."

Five way Linux distro roundup
Subject: General Tech | August 1, 2012 - 03:37 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, Arch Linux, Slackware, ubuntu, Fedora
Phoronix just loves Linux benchmarking and have been very busy this year with not only the new Linux distros and kernels which have arrived this year but also testing Ivy Bridge's CPU and GPU performance on the open source OS. With the arrival of an updated Arch Linux they once again find themselves at the test bench, in this particular case a Sandy Bridge based system with an AMD GPU. Take a read through the five pages of benchmarks covering a wide variety of performance measurements and see if you might want to think about upgrading or switching your current version of Linux.
"At the request of many Phoronix readers following the release of updated Arch Linux media, here are some new Arch Linux benchmarks. However, this is not just Arch vs. Ubuntu, but rather a larger Linux distribution performance comparison. In this article are benchmark results from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, CentOS 6.2, Fedora 17, Slackware 14.0 Beta, and Arch Linux."

Hardkernel Launching Quad Core ODROID-X Android Computer
Subject: General Tech | July 14, 2012 - 12:53 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SFF, Samsung, linux, hardkernel, Exynos 4, computer, arm
If you are an Android developer and have been itching to get your hands on some high end, quad core hardware, than Korean company HardKernel may have just what you're looking for. The new ODROID-X is an Android developer board (meaning it comes as just a single board computer sans case or accessories. For $129 plus shipping and customs fees, you can have a 90 x 94mm PCB with a Samsung Exynos 4412 ARM Cortex-A9 quad core at 1.4 GHz (1MB cache), Mali 400 GPU, 1GB RAM, and runs on a 5V, 2A power adapter.
IO for the ODROID-X includes headphone and microphone jacks, six USB 2.0 ports, 10/100 Ethernet, SDHC card slot, 50-pin GPIO connector, UART serial connector, MIPI-CAM camera connector, HDMI, and a power jack. In other words, it is extremely expandable. It is capable of outputting 1080p video over HDMI when using the H.264 video codec thanks to dedicated hardware acceleration. Hardkernel will happily sell you accessories but you would likely be better off buying it from a local retailer or online shop that is in-country to avoid the extra shipping and customs fees. The power jack and other ports are standard, so there aren't any worries there. Android 4.0 ICS is reportedly available for download, though no word yet on when the newly announced Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" OS build will be up on the site.
Thanks to the Samsung Exynos 4, you definitely have more oomph than the 700 MHz ARMv7 in the Raspberry Pi, though this board isn't nearly as small (and costs about four times as much). If you need the extra horsepower, this may be worth considering at this price but be sure figure out the import taxes and shipping for your location to figure out what it will really cost you to get your hands on. Read more about the ODROID-X's specifications over at the Hardkernel website.

Annual Chinese New Year celebrations are biggest amongst the populations of Chinatown, and so too is the Golden Dragon Parade. Now in its 115th year, over a century of tradition goes into each parade to make every year better than the one before. More than one hundred and ten thousand members of the public lined the streets to watch last year, making it the biggest yet. Full television coverage enables people from further afield to join in with the celebration which is now probably the number one cultural event in the entire calendar of the Southern Californian Asian American community. If you're staying at a hotel near Chinatown in Downtown LA then you may want to explore this entertaining parade.
Presented by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles, this year's parade will take place on Saturday February 1st from 1pm onwards. The route runs all along the North Broadway into Chinatown, starting from between Hill Street and Ord Street and ends at Cesar Chavez and Broadway. What began as the traditional parade to celebrate the season has expanded dramatically, so that now each parade includes more than twenty large floats, numerous marching bands, entertainers, dignitaries of local government office and representatives from important community groups and local businesses. The whole parade embodies diversity and is an incredible experience for all involved.
Each year, the start of the Lunar New Year is the most important and lavishly celebrated festival for the large and thriving Asian community in the Southern Californian regions. Parades and colorful decorations fill the streets, while at home the family comes together to celebrate in their own ways. Part of the traditional celebrations at home include the commemoration of ancestors, each of whom is fondly remembered with moving blessings said in their honor. Families express their gratitude for their blessings and ask ancestral relatives to watch over them. Firecrackers and red envelopes of money are two of the more famous celebratory elements.

Burges Salmon recently sponsored the Institution of Civil Engineers' (ICE) annual Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) conference. The day, attended by a cross section of contractors, consultants and lawyers, had a mix of presentations and workshop sessions with partner Will Gard chairing the adjudication workshop. Steve James and Catherine Gilbert from the construction and engineering team also attended.
There were some lively debates on current trends in construction ADR and the willingness of the construction industry to use ADR instead of traditional methods of dispute resolution. Key themes to come out of the conference were:
The overriding message from the conference is that ADR is here to stay and – far from being "weaker" or less effective then arbitration or litigation – can be a powerful and cost effective method of resolving disputes. In any event, the courts have been shown over recent years to be supportive of ADR to the extent that parties ending up in court who have unreasonably refused to mediate (or try another form of ADR) may be penalised by a costs order even if they are successful at trial.
We at Burges Salmon are experienced in all forms of ADR including negotiation, adjudication, mediation and conciliation. We appreciate the construction industry's desire for practical, cost effective and proportionate solutions for resolving disputes. If you are involved in a construction dispute please contact anyone in our team to discuss how ADR could work for you.
We would like to thank the ICE for staging the conference and to all those who attended for their contributions to a lively and informative day.

The back system in the Lowe Alpine AirZone Centro 45+10 Pack minimizes the contact your back has with this overnight pack. This enhances airflow so you stay cooler and drier on backpacking trips. Pack gear for one or two nights in the AirZone Centro 45, adjust the torso length, and hit the trail. Side zippers make it easy to find an extra layer when the weather gets chilly, and the large expandable front pocket holds snacks and maps. The AirZone Centro Pack's extendable lid makes space for an extra 600 cubic inches of gear for longer trips.

Lowe Alpine AirZone Centro 45
Worked well over a 2 night trip to Mount Rogers Virginia. When packed full the water bottle holders become a bit small for a large Nalgene bottle.
Great day pack
Me and my sons were in Zion, used the pack for the four days we were there. I loved the hydro pack, the backpack was able to hold extra clothes for everyone, rain jackets, food and camera equipment for all of us. Hiking with a 4 and 6 year old, they are always asking for food or something that is inside the pack, I found that it was easy to access all areas within the pack.
The pack road great on my back the air flow design made a huge difference on the hikes.
This was the first trip that I was able to use the pack, but so far I love the pack and its design plus the name stands for quality.
Hope this was helpful.

Months after its April 2013 target date, the U.S. Labor Department announced this afternoon that it is issuing a Final Rule re-stating the requirements for and limitations upon the "companionship" exemption in the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's Section 13(a)(15). USDOL reportedly will publish the actual regulation in the Federal Register "on or about October 1."
As readers will recall from our prior posts, this exemption says that the FLSA's minimum-wage and overtime requirements do not apply to employees "employed in domestic service employment to provide companionship services for individuals who (because of age or infirmity) are unable to care for themselves . . .."
The Final Rule apparently becomes effective over a year from now, in January 2015. Judging from USDOL's statements today, the exemption's parameters will be changed substantially.
Among the most-significant modifications will be that third-party employers, such as home-care staffing agencies, will no longer be able to assert the exemption for their employees performing companionship work. USDOL says that this will be true even when the employee is jointly employed by both the third-party provider and the individual or family receiving the worker's services. Only the individual, family, or household employing a companionship worker will be able to rely upon the exemption (provided that the other exemption criteria are also met).
Another noteworthy change appears to be that the scope of the phrase "companionship services" will have been narrowed considerably. Reflecting USDOL's contention that the exemption should be primarily focused upon "fellowship and protection", exempt status would be lost if the companionship worker performs more than an incidental amount of "care" services (for example, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, driving, etc.). Under the coming rule, the exemption would be lost for any workweek in which "care" services exceed 20 percent of the employee's total hours worked in that workweek.
We will be examining the Final Rule in greater detail once it appears in the Federal Register.

Spice up your outerwear with a splash of pink while helping to support Boarding for Breast Cancer with The North Face Women's B4BC Khumbu Fleece Jacket. This sweet piece easily zips into other North-Face-complementing garments, has a hem cinch-cord, and has two hand pockets to warm your chilly hands or stash your small essentials. The North Face also gave the B4BC a full-front zip with windflap and an extremely durable, anti-pill surface.

The jacket is just what I wanted. I ordered a large because I wanted extra room to layer under it and it's exactly what I got. Very happy with it.
It fits perfectly! I am 5'3 and 110 pounds. I got a small and there is still enough room to wear a sweat shirt under it. The picture doesn't do it justice. Its super soft and all around comfortable. I love everything about it!

The North Face Women's Khumbu is a mid-weight relaxed fit fleece jacket. It is the brain child of designer's at North Face and a non profit awareness foundation Boarding For Breast Cancer. The embroidered pink ribbon on the left sleeve, and the embroidered pink North Face logo on the left chest and right shoulder symbolize North Faces commitment to the support of breast cancer awareness. An annual donation is given to B4BC to help them reach more people and spread the word on how to identify early signs and symptoms of breast cancer with an end result of helping Pt's increase survivability through treatment in the earliest stages. Not only do you get a nice fleece with 2 zippered pockets, (see other post with attached image) a full-front zip and wind flap, and hem cinch cord. You also get the satisfaction of knowing your helping out a good cause run by good people.
