The Mysterious ProwlerMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
"You must come over and help me," Duffus exclaimed on the phone to his neighbor OD-1. "I've just been knocked unconscious by a prowler."
OD-1 trudged through the deep snow and arrived to find Duffus hiding behind his couch. "All right this isn't hide and go seek (that's another teaser): what is going on here?"
"I heard noises coming from the barn; noises like someone banging on the barn doors and as you know my barn has been empty for years. I went out to see who was there and checked the lock on the door. Everything seemed normal but as I turned back to the house I was struck on the head by the prowler and knocked out. When I came to, I ran to the house and called you!" exclaimed Duffus.
OD-1 looked out the window at the barn and could see clearly the large snow angel where Duffus did his face plant when he lost consciousness. "There's no prowler Duffus, let me tell you what happened."
How did OD-1 know what happened and that there was no prowler?
HintThink snow
AnswerOD-1 saw that there were only one set of footprints in the snow belonging to Duffus. He also saw snow falling from the barn roof near where Duffus was hit. So poor Duffus heard the sound of the falling snow, and thinking it was an intruder, got himself a snow job.

Today, Alexander McQueen announced it was taking control of its second line, McQ, after the current spring/summer 2011 collection. For the last five years since its launch, McQ has been produced under license by an Italian firm, SINV SpA. Its current creative director, Pina Ferlisi, will continue in that role, under the guidance of Sarah Burton, current creative director of the main line. This is interesting, for a few reasons.

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. - Things at Dearborn Heights Annapolis High School were starting to get back to normal on Monday as health officials work to figure out what caused nearly 200 students and more than a dozen staff members to get sick last week.
School officials do not have an attendance count right now, but the numbers are expected to be down. It's just a few days since a mysterious illness forced the school to be closed. Class was back in session on Monday.

The school was shut down Friday to give cleaning crews time to scour the building which included disinfecting and running air scrubbers to filter the air. The day off also gave the sick students and staff time to get better.
"They put in approximately 200 man hours of cleaning hours alone, and then they came back Saturday," said Jeff Bartold, superintendent of Dearborn Heights District 7.
Attendance on Monday was expected to be light. It's still unclear what is behind the illness which caused flu-like symptoms. Health officials still suspect a norovirus.
"Because of how many kids, and how fast they got sick and the symptoms that they had, right now they think that's what it was," said Bartold.
Stool samples were sent to the state health department and results could come back soon.
"I think we've done everything we possibly can do at this time. Hopefully we got the bug out of there and we can move forward.," the superintendent said.
All schools throughout the district have received a thorough cleaning.
With the Thanksgiving break just around the corner it is expected for things to get back to normal next week. By then, they should know what they were dealing with.

When everything goes according to plan, a newborn calf will get up and drink his full dose of colostrum from his mother. But what if that doesn't happen? When should we intervene and feed the calf colostrum ourselves?
Cattle producers commonly encounter several reasons why feeding a calf colostrum might be necessary:
- When the calf is born as a result of dystocia (difficult calving). Often these calves have low blood oxygen and are not as apt to get up and nurse on their own.
- When the calf is clearly weak and unable to get up on his own.
- When the mother won't let the calf nurse.
- When the cow's udder has poor conformation, making it difficult for a calf to nurse for the first time.
- When the cow is not producing milk (lack of fill in the udder) or is affected by mastitis.
- When the cow has been leaking milk before calving.
If a calf can't nurse its mother, the second best method to supply calves colostrum is through a nipple bottle. However, unless these at-risk calves are aggressive nursers, they may not be able to consume enough colostrum fast enough through bottle feeding. In those cases, tube feeding colostrum is necessary. Nursing its mother is the preferred way for a calf to ingest colostrum, and has been associated with higher levels of antibody absorption. Second best is nursing from a bottle, followed by tube feeding.
By far, the best thing to feed newborn calves is the colostrum from their own mother. In those cases where cows produce little or no colostrum, alternatives need to be considered, listed here in order of preference:
- Fresh colostrum from another cow in your herd. If a cow has calved within the past 24 hours (and preferably the past 8 hours), colostrum from this cow can be used. Cows with full-term stillborn calves present an opportunity for producers to save and freeze their colostrum for emergency situations such as this.
- Frozen colostrum from another cow in the herd (see above). Colostrum can be frozen and stored for up to one year. If it is warmed up slowly, there is minimal loss of antibodies. The freezing process destroys white blood cells in colostrum that may help the immune system, so fresh colostrum is preferable to frozen when available.
- Fresh colostrum from a cow in another herd. While some beef producers have access to colostrum from neighboring farms, especially dairies, there are several reasons to approach this choice with caution. Some infectious diseases such as Johne's Disease and mycoplasmosis can be transmitted to calves through unpasteurized colostrum. Colostrum is a good growth medium for bacteria if it is not collected and stored properly. Finally, remember that dairy cow colostrum generally has a lower antibody concentration than beef cow colostrum, so adjusting the amount fed upward is a good idea (e.g. using 6 quarts total vs. 4). Knowing the health status of the source herd for your colostrum is critical. If wrong choices are made, they can affect your herd for years to come.
- Frozen colostrum from a cow in another herd.
- Colostrum replacers. Colostrum replacers are excellent tools to have handy in case of emergencies. These are powdered mixes that contain a full dose of antibodies for the calf (100 to 125 grams per dose). While they do not contain the white blood cells and immune substances that "real" colostrum does, they also do not carry the possibility of infectious disease. Colostrum replacers need to be mixed completely according to label directions, and tend to be expensive compared to colostrum supplements (below).
- Colostrum supplements. In contrast to colostrum replacers, supplements do not contain a full dose of antibodies for the calf, often only 40 to 50 grams. As such, these products should be used in cases when it's questionable whether a calf consumed his full dose of colostrum. These products are less expensive than colostrum replacers. Many products that are marketed as "colostrum supplements" contain no antibodies at all. Look for the level of "globulin protein" or "IgG" on the label to tell you.
There are many factors that influence the health of a baby calf, and one of the most important is the amount of colostrum a calf gets in his first few hours of life. Your local veterinarian is the best source for answers to questions about colostrum, products, and feeding issues.

BAYTOWN - A neighborhood lockdown that lasted much of Friday afternoon has been lifted.
Police said several people who robbed a Radio Shack, then led police on a chase to Baytown, are now in custody.
Investigators searched buildings, back yards and homes along Decker Drive looking for two robbers on the run. Authorities said they were part of a larger group of alleged thieves who hit up the Radio Shack, about 18 miles away in Pasadena, around 2 p.m.
Police said three masked men in hooded sweatshirts and carrying pistols stormed in and robbed the store. Seconds later, they were seen jumping into a dark blue minivan driven by the fourth suspect, police said. Police said the robber took off with cash, cellphones and iPads.
Officers quickly caught up and chased them on Beltway 8 to Interstate 10 and into Baytown.
Police said once they got to Baytown, the robbers abandoned their vehicle and ran away.
Two suspects were caught, but two others remained on the run for several hours, detectives said.
"We sent out phone messages to the entire area, warning residents to stay inside and keep their doors locked," said Assistant Chief Roger Clifford with the Pasadena Police Department.
Officials said when the remaining two suspects were eventually caught, they put up little resistance.

After the Obama administration decided to drop its defense of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism praised the move.
In reaction, Fox News talk show host Glenn Beck compared Reform Judaism, the largest branch of Judaism in North America, to radical Islam.
The RAC, a social action organization affiliated with Reform Judaism, wrote, "The announcement by the Obama Administration, through the Justice Department, that it will no longer defend the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage act is as welcome as it is overdue. Now is the time for Congress to repeal the discriminatory law once and for all."
Beck's anti-Semitic response was: "Reform rabbis are generally political in nature. It's almost like Islam, radicalized Islam in a way… radicalized Islam is less about religion than it is about politics. When you look at Reform Judaism, it is more about politics."
But most mainstream Jewish groups supported the Obama administration's decision.

Where: Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
Grantee: Anne Kent Taylor
Kenyan Anne Kent Taylor fell in love with the Mara as a young girl. Driven by her deep attachment to this beautiful place, she has spent four decades trying to preserve this natural treasure.
The Anne K. Taylor Fund (AKTF) is a Kenya-based nonprofit organization that works to promote wildlife conservation in the communities surrounding Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve. The Maasai Mara holds special environmental and cultural significance for the people of Kenya.
Video courtesy Anne Kent Taylor Fund
However, shifts in the demographics and economy of Kenya have begun to change the delicate balance of man and wildlife in the Mara. More people mean larger cities; growing small towns; more farms to produce food; bigger, paved roads; and fewer spaces for wildlife. Maasai communities living adjacent to the Mara find themselves squeezed between a fast-moving economy and shrinking wilderness areas that bring predators closer to their homes than ever before.
These predators present a threat to farmers' livelihoods. When lions take cattle, farmers retaliate, and lions are killed. AKTF aims to stop this conflict by helping Maasai communities keep their cattle out of the reach of lions. Saving livestock saves lions.
To achieve this, AKTF fortifies Maasai livestock enclosures with simply constructed chain-link fences and treated posts (provided by Eden Wildlife Trust), which are sustainably sourced.
This extra protection deters predators from entering the bomas and killing the livestock. Maasai livestock owners partner with AKTF by sharing costs and installing the fences. The Maasai are thus fully invested in, and supportive of, the project.
In addition to building predator-proof fences, AKTF provides wildlife education; operates anti-poaching patrols in conjunction with the Mara Conservancy and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS); helps Maasai families implement sustainable energy practices; and participates in wildlife rescues.
AKTF also works to empower the Maasai community through a women's beadwork microfinance program; through capacity-building education efforts, including field trips into the Mara Reserve; and by the construction of a primary school where the program provides water tanks and a free, nutritious lunch to students, who walk up to ten miles to and from school each day.

SPD (or 'clipless') pedals are now widely used in both mountain biking and road cycling. Most examples of this sort of pedals have replaceable, and serviceable bearings, so it's a good idea to give them a service or even replace the internals from time to time.
Check out the video guide below for a guide on giving your SPDs a once over. For those who aren't into moving pictures, or who want to give their pedals a more thorough service, we've got an old school text version for you below also.
Video: How to servce Shimano SPD pedals
This video is part of the Park Tool Maintenance Monday series. You can purchase the Park Tools used in the video at a number of dealers across the UK and internationally. For more maintenance videos, subscribe to the BikeRadar YouTube channel.
Know your way around your pedals
Bearings:Shimano SPD pedals still use cup-and-cone style loose ball bearings. This makes them a little tricky to manage when it comes to servicing, but with a little care the process needn't take any longer than for pedals that use bushes or cartridges.
Pedal body: Pedal bodies are generally made of alloy, although some of Shimano's platform models have plastic builds. Don't worry too much about the cosmetic damage they incur, though; our experience tells us they're almost impossible to break through impact.
Springs: The coiled steel springs give Shimano's SPDs their most defining characteristic: that solid and reassuring click as the insertion of the cleat forces the pedal jaws open before they snap shut again. Shimano prefer the stiffness, reliability and improved action with the bearings that steel provides over lightweight metals such as titanium for their pedal axles. All Shimano SPDs use 6mm or 8mm Allen keys to screw the axles in and out of the crank arms.
Adjuster screws: Not everyone likes or wants the same level of resistance from their pedal springs. Old, tired knees might prefer less resistance, and hardcore cross-country racers on bumpy tracks might want a bit more. Thanks to these 3mm Allen key adjusters, you can dial in your preference easily.
Threaded collar: An important component that keeps the pedal body attached to the axle. On budget models, there's a nylon cap at the other end of the pedal body from the collar and you'll find the bearing preload nut hidden under this.
How to service and set up SPD pedals
Your clipless pedals will give you month after month of faithful service through rain and shine if you service them correctly. This 16-stage guide shows you have to do it.
- Time: 45 minutes
- Skill rating: Moderate
- Cost: Under £10
Tools for the job
- 7mm and 10mm spanners
- Allen keys
- Teflon grease
- Degreaser
- Rag
- Medium-weight oil
- Shimano TL-PD40 tool (if your pedals have plastic collars)
1 Thorough wash
You can't do anything with dirty pedals, so get some hot water and cleaning solution and give them a good wash before you begin any sort of servicing. Grab an old toothbrush and really work the bristles into the nooks and crannies to remove caked-in dirt. Make sure the springs are clean and free from grit, too – the grease they carry usually attracts lots of dirt.
2 Remove pedals
Using the appropriate size Allen key – 6mm or 8mm depending on the model; some entry-level models still come with 15mm spanner flats, too – remove the pedals from the cranks. Remember that the left pedal has a reverse thread, so turn it clockwise to undo; the right-hand pedal is loosened by turning it anti-clockwise. The simple way to remember this is that both undo by turning the Allen key downwards and towards the back of the bike.
3 Poke around
With the pedals clean and off the bike, the next thing to do is to have a feel of the axles and a really close look at the mechanisms. After all, there's no point in removing the axles until you're sure whether you're supposed to be tightening or loosening the bearings, or unless you know you need to replace a damaged jaw.
4 Vice advice
Place the pedal in a bench-mounted vice or, if your pedal uses a plastic collar, put the TL-PD40 tool in the vice. Alternatively, use a 36mm spanner – that's the old threaded oversized headset size. Note that the right-hand pedal has a left-hand thread and the left-hand pedal has a right-hand thread.
5 Slide body off and clean
You should now be able to slide the pedal apart, taking the alloy body off the steel axle. You'll see that most of the factory-installed grease has disappeared, and what's left is a gungy black colour. Give it a spray with some degreaser, wipe it down with a lint-free rag and then leave it to dry.
6 Undo bearings
Now the axle's clean and free from contaminated grease, you'll be able to see the wood for the trees. Use 7mm and 10mm wrenches to undo the locknut on the end of the axle.
7 Smooth bearings
The bearings in modern clipless pedals are pretty well sealed, especially in the Shimano SPD range. That said, the cheaper models do need more regular attention than the mid- and top-end jobs. Check the condition of the bearing and if it's good, grease it lightly before loading the 10mm nut.
8 Lovely balls
Counter-tighten with the 7mm locknut. It might take a couple of attempts to get the bearing smooth with no play or binding, so get plenty of grease in and on the bearings. As you screw down the 10mm nut, take care that none of the tiny balls manage to creep out of their race.
9 Lock down
With the retaining nut snug, you can fit the 7mm locknuts. These will need to be counter-tightened to stop them backing off. Now wipe all excess grease from the unit.
10 Grease is the word
Spray a bit of degreaser into the empty pedal body and then use some cotton buds to wipe out the worst of the dirty grease from inside it. Don't sweat it if you can't get rid of it all though, because you'll flush it out later. Quarter-fill the bottom of the pedal body with some Teflon grease.
11 Reassemble/wipe
Insert the cleaned, lubed and freshly adjusted axle back into the pedal body, and then screw them back together with the TL-PD40 tool, using the reverse of the extraction method. If your SPD pedals have nylon collars, be particularly careful not to cross-thread them as you tighten the pedals.
12 Refit
When you reassemble the pedal, the axle's reinsertion will force this new grease out, taking the old, contaminated grease with it. Clever, eh? Wipe off the excess grease that's been purged from the pedal body. Don't add any more grease – that will just attract unnecessary dirt to the area.
13 Lube springs
The pedals' performance relies on the ability of the coil steel springs to operate freely and with the minimum of friction. When the pedals are factory fresh, they come with a glob of green Shimano grease, but you only need to lube the springs with medium-weight oil. Adding too much oil will just attract excess grit to the area.
14 Adjust springs
Some riders don't even realise that their pedals have an adjustment for spring tension. On each side of the pedal, a small 3mm Allen-headed bolt lies on the outside edge of the rear jaw. This can be turned counter-clockwise to reduce tension and clockwise to increase it. The adjustment is marked by clicks; try tightening or loosening by two clicks at a time.
15 Clean threads
Clean the pedal threads in the crank arms with a bit of degreaser. Clean the threads on the pedals the same way. Now lightly grease both sets of threads – cranks and pedals.
16 Go ride
Inspect them for damage. There's unlikely to be any, but it's good practice and, ensuring you're using the correct pedal for each crank arm, tighten the pedals until snug. Don't go mad, though – they'll tighten through use anyway. Now get out and ride!
Top tips
Vice squad: Older model SPDs (and some modern budget models) use a threaded nylon locking collar to keep the axle and pedal body together. It can be tricky to remove – especially the first time – so use the special plastic TL-PD40 tool and fit that to a bench-mounted vice. Fit the pedal into the vice-held tool and then turn it in the appropriate direction.
You'll need a TL-PD40 tool if your pedals have a nylon lockring
Close shave: Some shoe and cleat combinations aren't immediately well suited. You can create a smoother entry and exit from the pedals by gently trimming away some of the rubber surrounding the cleat recess on the sole of the shoe with a sharp blade. This means less sole material is pressing on the pedal. Go carefully, though, since removing too much will make the union between pedal and shoe sloppy. And be careful with the blade, too!

Kansas Antiquities Act
KSA 74-5401 through 74-5408 (enacted in 1967) is a state statute that recognizes the state's awareness of the need to conserve significant archeological remains on state, county, and municipal lands. It establishes a commission to protect and regulate the removal of antiquities from these public lands.
The Kansas Antiquities Commission, by statute, consists of the secretary / executive director of the Kansas State Historical Society (KSHS) as chairman and the state archeologist, head of the Archeology Office of the KSHS, as secretary. Other members of the five member commission are the department heads (or their designees) of the anthropology departments at Kansas University, Kansas State University, and Wichita State University. These statutes prohibit uncontrolled excavation or vandalism of archeological sites on state, county, or municipal owned lands. Controlled scientific excavation can be made by permits obtained from the commission secretary.

In keeping with Georgetown's traditions, the curriculum of the Religion Department emphasizes the study of Christianity but does so in the broad context of religious studies as they are encountered in the past and present. To accomplish this task, the department requires majors to demonstrate:
- a basic understanding of the content of the Bible and an ability to interpret it in light of academic approaches;
- an understanding of the cultural and historical dimensions of religious phenomena and demonstrate a capacity to analyze them critically by focusing on special historical and cultural topics of study;
- a knowledge of the academic approaches to Christian theology;
- a basic understanding of other world religions and a capacity to analyze them academically;
- an ability to think critically about issues involving religious studies and to base conclusions on data from the appropriate major disciplines of religious studies.
Through the Core courses, the department additionally seeks to introduce students to the varieties of religious expression. Majors and minors in the department have the opportunity to gain experience in ministry through courses and an optional supervised practicum.
For information concerning majors and minors please see the Programs Section of this web site.

When I was a little girl, one of my favorite past times was looking through my mom's photo albums. She had two big ones and one small one, each filled with a variety of mostly black and white photographs. One the edge of each photo, the date was printed by the company who had developed the film.
Each picture had been put into the book by my mom with these little, black, sticky triangle pieces that fit over each corner of the photograph. The negative had been carefully taped to the back of the photo, and underneath each picture, my mom had used white ink on the black pages to tell who was in every photograph.
As a little girl, I can remember spending hours pouring over those albums. Several of the photos were taken long before I was born, but that didn't matter. The faces that looked back at me from the pages of those photo albums were all familiar, since I had looked at them so many times. One of my favorite memories is when Mom and I would sit down with those albums, and I could ask her questions about the people in the photos and the events that were occurring when the picture was snapped.
Funny ... it's been many, many years since I've looked through my mom's photo albums, but I can still remember many of those pictures. None of those snapshots were taken with much artistic ability — most were shot (I'm sure) with the person behind the lens telling everyone to "Smile" before he/she snapped the picture. Nevertheless, I can still see those faces; those older styles of clothing; those cars which would now be antiques; and the familiar smiles on many relatives' faces that look mysteriously like my own.
While many of those faces in those three old books are no longer with us, I am so glad their images were captured. I can't imagine what I would do if I didn't have those photos to be able to reflect on. How awful would that be?
Which leads me to the reason for this column. With all of our digital cameras and phones, when is the last time you had any photos printed? And more importantly, when is the last time you put those pictures in a photo album? If you're like me, the answer is rather embarrassing.
OK, I have file after file of photos in my computer at home, and I can easily transfer them to a disc ... but that's not what I am talking about. I'm talking about a real photo album filled with real photos. I don't have any ... OK, I have a huge box of long ago photographs in the basement that I plan on putting in an album someday, but if the photo police stopped by and asked me to produce my photo albums ... I'd be empty-handed.
It's kind of sad. I think photo albums have taken the same journey that many other items from the past have taken. They are relics, in a way, and the fact that I miss them kind of makes me a relic too, I suppose.
But there's just something comforting about sitting down with an album of snapshots that contain familiar faces. It warms my heart. It makes me smile. It reminds me of a place in time when life was simple, and all you had to do was put on your prettiest smile and say "Cheese."

CARL Fearns is relieved his spell as a frustrated spectator is at an end, but admits he faces a battle to retain a starting spot in Bath's team.
The 24 year old back row marked his return from injury by appearing as a substitute in the 12-11 Aviva Premiership defeat to former club Sale last Friday.
Fearns had been out of action since tweaking a nerve in his back during the warm-up prior to February's Premiership victory over Newcastle, a problem initially expected to be resolved in a matter of weeks eventually stretching to almost two months.
The Liverpool-born player said: "Just to get back involved with the boys and the whole environment was a good feeling.
"I'm definitely a bad watcher because it was frustrating. You feel you can add something to the team and you just want to get out there and help the boys.
"Getting injured in the warm-up (before the Newcastle game) is annoying. It wasn't one of those injuries you could put your finger on. It was a nerve issue and it was just a case of building up strength in my back.''
Bath's back row, which has now lost Francois Louw for a few weeks, has proved a formidable unit this season, whichever combination has been played and Fearns added: "I've got to work hard to get back in the team because all the back row have been pushing each other to get in the team.
"I should be fresh enough and hopefully that will benefit me.''

Rutgers star guard Eli Carter to transfer to Florida
Florida coach Billy Donovan has landed another star transfer from Rutgers University.
Eli Carter, a star guard for the Scarlet Knights, announced via Twitter this afternoon that he plans to transfer to Florida. Former Gators guard Mike Rosario also joined the Florida team three years ago after transferring from Rutgers.
"Proud to announce that I will be continuing my career at the University of Florida!!, Carter said via Twitter.
Carter had narrowed his choices to Maryland and the Gators, but cancelled his visit to College Park. He visited Gainesville this past weekend.
Carter is a 6-foot-2 guard who received his release from Rutgers after controversial head coach Mike Rice was fired amidst allegations of abusing his players.
Carter led the Scarlet Knights in scoring as a freshman (13.8 points per game) and a sophomore (14.9) before he suffered a season-ending broken leg in February. He has two years of eligibility remaining, and could be eligible to play immediately. He is expected to seek a waiver from the NCAA due to the unusual nature of his need to transfer. …Full Story

Hannah Beard, Stacey Rodwell and Francesca Williams Contribute to Title Bid
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – Reproducing a small bit of the magic from the memorable 2008 SSC Tournament championship-winning season, three current and former Saint Leo women's soccer players have once again linked up across the country and pushed their current team to a title as well. All-America Hannah Beard, Stacey Rodwell and current player Francesca Williams helped push the Santa Clarita Blue Heat to a W-League Western Conference Championship in only the team's second year of existence.
Beard, the Lions' first-ever Sunshine State Conference Player of the Year (2008), is currently third on the team in scoring heading into the playoffs. She graduated from Saint Leo as one of the most decorated players in Saint Leo Women's Soccer history and ranks second all-time in scoring at Saint Leo.
Rodwell also has her name in the offensive categories as she is just one of three players in double-figures in points on the team. Leading the team in assists (6); she has amassed 10 points and has two goals. She was a member of the Lions from 2007-2009 before heading to the West Coast to play for Cal State-LA where she finished her career.
The only current Lion on the team, Francesca Williams, enters her senior season in prime form as she has posted nearly 350 minutes helping to anchor the Blue Heat's defense. Selected to the NSCAA All-Region team twice during her career, she is also a Sunshine State Conference Second-Team member (2009) and helped post seven shutouts during 2010.
By finishing first in the W-League's Western Conference, the Blue Heat will host the Western Conference Championship match against second place finisher Vancouver in Santa Clarita next Sunday at a date, time and venue to be determined.

QUANTOCK Vale Skittles League leaders R and Us were leading by nine pins at the end of the first half of their game at the Greyhound but the home team then pulled nine on their next hand to make the game all square before four hands in the 30s allowed Outcasts to take the advantage to finally win by 18.
Victories by both Stockland Club and Triards meant there is a three-way tie at the top of the table, but both teams were made to struggle for their victories.
It took Club until the sixth hand before taking a significant lead by pulling 22, and from there went on to beat the Greydogs by 58.
Similarly, Triards trailed Applecrunchers by 13 at the halfway point but they then pulled 42 over the next two hands to lead by 29 and they maintained this gap to win by 32.
A. Ingram was top of the alley for Triards, hitting a 14 spare on his last hand to reach his 100.
Globetrotters move up to fourth place after a comfortable 30-pin win at the Greyhound over Dot's Gang, and Dambusters' game at the Globe started with four close hands until the Alley Boys hit a 68- pin fifth that put them 28 ahead and from there they forged ahead to win by 37.
Results: Stockland Club 458 (T.
Webb 85), Greydogs 400 (S.
Larcombe 89); Outcasts 410 (D.
Glover 76), R and Us 392 (M.

Experimental: Arm I
Patients apply 1 spoonful of baclofen-amitriptyline hydrochloride-ketamine gel topically to each area of pain, numbness, and/or tingling on the feet and/or hands twice daily for 4 weeks.
Drug: baclofen/amitriptyline/ketamine gel
Applied topically
Placebo Comparator: Arm II
Patients apply 1 spoonful of placebo gel topically to each area of pain, numbness, and/or tingling on the feet and/or hands twice daily for 4 weeks.
Other: placebo
Applied topically
Detailed Description:
- Compare the effectiveness of baclofen-amitriptyline hydrochloride-ketamine (BAK) gel versus placebo, in terms of improving sensory neuropathy, in cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
- Compare motor and autonomic symptoms and functioning, mood states, pain, and peripheral neuropathy in these patients.
- Assess the adverse event profile of topical BAK gel.
- Explore whether topical BAK gel is absorbed systemically.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to neurotoxic chemotherapy (active vs non-active), current use of opioids or oral pain medications (yes vs no), pain rating (4-7 vs 8-10), and prior ineffective pharmacologic treatment for peripheral neuropathy (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients apply 1 spoonful of baclofen-amitriptyline hydrochloride-ketamine gel topically to each area of pain, numbness, and/or tingling on the feet and/or hands twice daily for 4 weeks.
- Arm II: Patients apply 1 spoonful of placebo gel topically to each area of pain, numbness, and/or tingling on the feet and/or hands twice daily for 4 weeks.
Some patients in both arms may choose to continue on the active gel or, if on placebo, begin the active gel for an additional 8 weeks off study.
Patients complete health, pain, mood, and quality of life questionnaires at baseline and periodically during study. Patients also record adverse symptoms weekly in a Symptom Experience Diary.

Philippe Coutinho wants to be a 'big player' at Liverpool
Philippe Coutinho has been pleased with his start to life at Liverpool and is hoping to make a big impact at the club.
Last Updated: 23/03/13 9:02pm
The 20-year-old Brazilian has already impressed on Merseyside since making the move from Inter Milan in January, notching up two goals and two assists from his four starts.
Coutinho is happy with how things are going and the playmaker hopes he can establish himself as an important player for the Reds.
"Things have gone really well for me here so far," Coutinho, who spent time on loan at Espanyol last season, told the Liverpool Echo.
"Maybe because I played in Italy and spent six months in Spain last season that has helped me adapt more quickly to English football.
"Also I must thank my team-mates as they have helped me a lot with my first few games. Everyone has made me feel so welcome.
He added: "The games are quicker and more physical but I like that. I am learning all the time.
"Every player wants to improve and get better and I am the same. I am still young and have so much still to learn.
"I hope to be here for many years and become a big player for Liverpool. I will continue to work hard and do my best to improve my performances and help Liverpool."
Coutinho is enjoying working under manager Brendan Rodgers and wants to repay his faith by helping the club back to success.
"The manager here is still young but he's an excellent person and a very good coach. He speaks openly to everyone and I'm pleased to be working with him," he said.
"The manager has shown a lot of faith in me and hopefully I will repay that. I want to win some titles here to compensate the club for what they've done for me."
The Brazilian does not speak English and has the help of an interpreter but says he is keen to pick up the language.
He added: "Communication between myself and my team-mates is still a bit difficult. The people here speak very fast so it's difficult to pick up the words but I'm trying.
"If the manager wants to get some information across to me in training he speaks Spanish. (Fellow Brazilian) Lucas has also helped me a lot."

Port of Lake Charles to Lease 90 Acres to Magnolia LNG
LAKE CHARLES, La. — Port of Lake Charles Commissioners on Wednesday approved an option for a long-term lease agreement on 90 acres with Magnolia LNG, an Australian-based energy company that plans to build a $2.2 billion export facility that will produce 4 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas per year.
Magnolia LNG will be located adjacent to Calcasieu Point Landing on the Industrial Canal. Construction is expected to begin in 2015, pending construction and federal permits.
Maurice Brand, Magnolia LNG managing director and joint chief executive director, said the project will create 35 to 50 new permanent jobs and an estimated 600 construction jobs.
"The Port of Lake Charles has been able to provide a unique combination of location, infrastructure and transportation capabilities to help bring this project to the region," Port Executive Director Bill Rase said in a news release. "Magnolia LNG will be a significant and welcome addition to Southwest Louisiana's energy corridor. The port's staff and board of commissioners look forward to doing business with the company."

" Brand: Birds Eye / Type: Chicken "
For £1.50 on the Tesco website this Birds Eye chicken korma is a good meal to store in your freezer. It is really simple to prepare as you just have to remove it from the box, pierce the film lid and then heat it for at most ten minutes stopping after eight minutes to give it a stir before you close the microwave door for a further two minutes. Ready meals like this are always really useful if you are in a rush or you have got home from work or a day out feeling very hungry and you don't have the heart to do any food preparation or cooking. Birds Eye are still a popular and trusted brand and you do expect a certain level of quality as a consumer because of this which is a compliment to the firm really.
As Indian food goes this is a mild dish, pieces of cooked chicken in a sauce made with coconut, cream,
yoghurt and traditional spices. It is finished off with long grain rice. Personally I think this would only really feed one person as I had no trouble eating it all and I did enjoy it very much. This is tasty, the chicken is lovely and tender and the sauce really is tremendously creamy, really enjoyable. Sometimes if food is too hot and spicy I find it can hamper my enjoyment but this is so mild and therefore I just enjoy the taste with no side effects.
This is probably not the healthiest option as one of these meals contains 515 calories and 18g of fat but that is to be expected in a product that is made using cream and yoghurt. I do think this a good quick option of a tasty meal if you are busy but obviously it is not quite as good as an Indian take away or even sitting down to eat in a restaurant. For something that is heated for ten minutes though straight from the freezer this is very acceptable and at a good price too.
I bought this ready meal for myself, hoping it would satisfy my appetite after a busy day. I usually don't eat ready meals, but it was cheaper then a take away. For a £1 in Asda you really can't go wrong. The packaging is very appealing, with a picture on the packaging looking like it came from a take away. The instructions on the packaging were very clear and easy to understand.
On visual appearance after being cooked, it looked like a curry I woud make at home. The rice was fluffy looking and the curry looked scrumptous. On tasting the curry it was very bland, I could not taste any of the spices and it did not have a creamy taste. However, the curry did have a lot of chicken which was a bonus. From past experiences, curry ready meals are mainly sauce rather than meat.
Overall, personally I would only eat this curry again if I had no other choice. It could be that I am fussy because I prefer homemade curry, or it is just a poor microwave meal. I definitely expected better quality considering its a Birds Eye product.
We bought this korma as it was on offer for £1 in our local supermarket. It takes 6-10 minutes in the microwave depending on the wattage, though it can also be cooked in the oven for around 30-45 minutes. Being impatient, I decided on the microwave method; the food came out hot and cooked perfectly.
The curry and rice are both a deep yellow colour, with visible flecks of spices and chopped onions. Unfortunately, there isn't much chicken in the dish for a 'chicken' korma. However, the flavour of the sauce certainly makes up for this! It has a very complex flavour, similar to those you would get in an indian restaurant. Whilst it isn't as creamy as a restaurant korma, it's very tasty for a microwave meal, and much healthier (the dish has around 450 kcals)
Overall, this is a good alternative to a takeaway - whilst it may not be completely authentic, it's a tasty and filling meal for one!
Ready meals have been my best friend whilst at university as they are relatively cheap, easy to make and already prepared so there's no messing about with a long recipe or buying loads of different ingredients that I'll only ever use once and then they'll go mouldy at the back of the cupboards (ew!).
My favourite curry is Korma because I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to spicy foods but I love the creaminess of korma so the Tesco Korma was the obvious choice when looking at the selection of Indian ready meals on offer.
The curry comes in a cardboard sleeve which has an image of the curry on the front, the cooking instructions and ingredients on the back and a brief product description and title on the font. Inside the sleeve is a black plastic tray with two troughs one houses around 10-15 spoon fulls of pilau rice and the other large chunks of chicken in a creamy sauce.
Even just to look at the portion sizes look very generous for a meal for one as the troughs are quite deep and the chunks of chicken are big. To the eye the meal looks very appetising and colourful which is a bonus.
**How to cook**
1. You must pierce the film lid that covers the meal with a fork several times.
2. Microwave on FULL POWER: 7 mins at 650W/B or 6 mins at 750W/D or 5 mins at 850W/E.
3. Peel back the film lid and stir the rice and the sauce.
4. FULL POWER for: 2 mins at 650W/B or 2 mins at 750W/D or 2 mins at 850W/E
5. Leave to stand for 60 seconds then serve
So as you can see the ready meal takes maximum 9 minutes and minimum 7 minutes depending on your microwave make. This is very quick which is my favourite aspect about this product. Alternatively the curry can be cooked in the oven:
: 30 - 35 mins - 190°C or Fan 170°C or Gas Mark 5
- Pre-heat oven.
- Pierce film lid.
- Place on a baking tray in middle of the oven.
I have always used the microwave to cook my curry as it is quicker. With other microwave currys the cooking guidelines have always suggested that you should add a tablespoon of water and stir so I did the same with this curry to ensure that the rice wasn't dry or stuck together.
The curry is absolutely delicious and I would even go as far as saying that it is on par with a takeaway Indian curry the chicken is always succulent and chunky, the sauce always creamy yet still thick and the rice is always soft.
This curry is available for £1.37 from Tesco but I often find that this curry is on offer a lot of the time so keep your eye out for a bargain! Overall I find this to be a completely enjoyable meal which always cooks thoroughly and tastes great!
When it comes to ready meals they are not something I overly indulge in really. However some nights I'm home alone with a bottle of wine and feeling lazy so I have two options. Call in a take-away or pop a ping meal in the microwave and one week I decided on this, reason one being cos I love a chicken korma and reason two being that I was a bit skint at the time and this was on offer in Asda costing £1 and I'd bought it and popped it in the freezer prior to the evening I wanted it.
The Packaging:
The meals comes in a mainly pink and yellow box with a photogoraph of the curry on the front of it and we are told that it is Birds Eye Chicken Korma With Rice and that it contains no artificial colours or flavours and is made with 100% chicken breast and there is an at a glance nutritional chart shown. Other information on the box includes includes ingredients and allergy advice being given, there is a full nutritional chart displayed as well as cooking details being given and contact details for Birds Eye are listed. Inside the box you get a black plastic deepish tray, divided into two covered by a pull off see-through plastic covering. Nice enough, informative packaging this is.
The Meal Itself:
To heat this through you have a couple of options available to you. We are recommended to cook this always from frozen and you can either oven cook it in 30-35 minutes or pop it in the microwave for 7-9 minutes (depending on the wattage of your microwave). I cooked mine in the microwave purely cos I'm a lazy so and so.
The portion size is good and you get equal amounts of rice to the korma. The korma itself is bright yellow with lots of visible, chunky chicken breast within it and flavoured with onion, yogurt and coconut milk. The chicken and sauce has visible specks of herbs and spices in it which include garlic, aniseed, sage and coriander leaves and it is a well seasoned sauce with body and nicely seasoned too and there is a hint of a garlic smell and taste to it as well. The chicken is pre marinated before going in the sauce and is juicy, well cooked and tastes rather fresh and although I wouldn't say that this tastes as creamy, rich or as delicious as one from a resteraunt this is a pleasant 'cheapy' one and I like the natural sweetness this has to it along with the gentle taste of coconut.
The rice is well cooked, al dente and not soggy, made up from long grain rice and seasoned and coloured with tumeric this is moist without being gloopy and is a filling part of the meal.
All in all I rather enjoyed this but I won't lie and say it was the korma I have ever had cos it wasn't but the flavours were nice and it was a nice quality and easy to prepare reasonably filling meal.

This is available in all good supermarkets etc and if not on some sort of offer expect to pay about £1.50 a meal and other varities are available too!
We like to try new foods in our house and especially when they come with a good price tag. We have had a few of the normal Birds Eye Curries such as the standard Chicken one and the Beef one, and didn't know it came in another Curry flavouring until we spotted this one about 6 weeks ago in the freezers of Tesco.
These meals normally cost around £1.40, but this was on offer for £1 so we thought we would try a couple. I woudln't say that £1.40 is that expensive for a Microwave Curry, but when Asda's one is just as good and costs £1 all the time for the same weight, then you have to think is it worth the extra money?
This came in the normal plastic tray. The Rice was on 1 side, and the Chicken in the Curry Sauce was on the other. It cooked in 8 minutes in the microwave.
This made a nice enough snack. Not that filling for a main meal, I would say 2 of these would do nicely just for me!
The Rice was nice. It seemed a bit sticky and I thought this would all stick together and not be nice, but it was alright. At least it wasn't too hard anyway. We spoon the Rice on the bottom of the plate and pput the Curry over it. The Sauce was quite thick but not that much and it was a lightly spiced taste. Just like any other Korma. There was a light Coconut taste to this and it was nice. The Chicken was decent sized Chicken Breast chunks. i would have liked a few more chunks as I think there was only 5 in here and 3 were smaller than the other ones.
A nice quick enough snack that is a bit more healthy for you than a Burger and Chips.
I had one of these Chicken Kormas for my tea last night, I'm not mad keen on frozen curries but I thought this one was yummy and well worth the £1.79 I paid for it.
In the meal you get yellow rice, I think that's called pilau rice but have chucked the box now so can't check. There is also the chicken and korma sauce, even when it's still frozen you can see that there's quite a lot of chicken in it and the pieces are a lot bigger than I thought they would be.
I cooked mine in the oven and it cooked perfect in the time it says on the box. After a bit you can smell a lovely creamy curry smell in the kitchen and by the time it's cooked you can tell just from the smell that it's a korma and has got a delish coconut smell.
The taste test is the most important thing though and it's wicked. The chicken is cooked perfect and tastes very fresh and juicy, there's loads of sauce and it's thick enough to coat the chicken lovely so that each piece of chicken is dripping with the sweet rich korma sauce.
I think the sauce is proper yummy, it's obviously not the same as if you brought a korma from the take away but for a frozen curry I think it's wicked. You can taste how creamy it is and I also love the fact that there are loads of faint spices used in it and they mix so good with the coconut flavour.
The rice isn't the best but I think it's just the same as in any frozen curry, some of it's fluffy but other parts of it have gone a bit tough and that makes the rice taste not very fresh. It was ok when I mixed it with the korma sauce though so I can't moan too much about it!!! lol
Over all I think this is a wicked curry, I had mine with a mini nan bread from Asda and it was like having a take away but a lot cheaper. The korma is seriously that good, I was mega shocked actually by how yummy the meal was and I was full up afterwards because of how much chicken was in the curry and also because of how thick and rich the sauce is.
Recommended by me!!!
