Military Fun 3Logic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Please do Military Fun and Military Fun 2 first before doing this teaser. This teaser continues on from the first and second times the friends got together, and will give away the answer to Military Fun and Military Fun 2. So, please do those teasers first.
This time the same 10 friends are going to go through a training camp so that they can be ready for their next pretend battle. More friends are finding out about this military fun and want to join, Private Brianna and Private Ben have come into this group too. Today the friends will be running 3 laps around the park. At the end of the race, the friends will move up or down in ranks according on how they did. If you can't move up or down any ranks, you will stay in the same rank that you are currently in. The scoring will be as follows
1st Place- Move up 5 ranks
2nd Place- Move up 4 ranks
3rd Place- Move up 3 ranks
4th and 5th Places- Move up 1 rank each
6th and 7th Places- Stay the same rank
8th and 9th Places- Move down 1 rank each
10th and 11th Places- Move down 2 ranks each
12th Place- Move down 3 ranks
The ranks people have right now:
Lieutenant General Stephen
Colonel Anna
Major Felicia
Captain Clark
Sergeant Abby
Sergeant Brad
Corporal Jessica
Private Paul
Private Kelsey
Private Luke
Private Brianna
Private Ben
This is a list of the ranks again, just in case anyone forgot it.
1. Lieutenant General
2. Brigadier General
3. Colonel
4. Lieutenant Colonel
5. Major
6. Captain
7. First Lieutenant
8. Second Lieutenant
9. First Sergeant
10. Sergeant
11. Corporal
12. Private
The First Lap:
Stephen, Ben, Paul, and Jessica took off sprinting taking the top 4 spots. Felicia and Brianna aren't far behind though. Kelsey, Anna and Abby were bringing up the back as they had a late start.
In the top 4 runners, the bottom two ranked people were doing the best and the top ranked person was doing the worst. The Major was in 6th place as Brianna passed her for 5th. Luke was just about to pass Felicia, but tripped and fell back to 9th place as Clark and Brad passed him in that order. The back three girls were in their places according to their rank, the highest rank being 10th place and the lowest rank being 12th place.
The Second Lap:
Paul slipped on a water puddle and fell back to third place, leaving the person he was right by, way in front. Clark moved up 2 spots, pushing those two people back one place each. Then, Felicia and Anna switched places, and Luke and Brad switched places. The people in 11th and 12th ended up switching places just before the third lap as well.
The Third Lap:
The two people in 10th and 11th place switched spots, the two people in 5th and 6th places switched spots, and the two people in 7th and 8th places switched spots. Brad ended up getting passed by the two people directly behind him, and Jessica was passed by the person directly behind her. Everyone then finished in the order that they are currently in.
Can you figure out which place everyone is in, and what rank they will be after this race?
AnswerThe Order the finished in was: Ben, Paul, Jessica, Stephen, Brianna, Clark, Luke, Anna, Kelsey, Felicia, Brad, Abby.
Here is how they got there:
On the first lap the top 4 runners were Stephen, Ben, Paul, and Jessica. Felicia and Brianna weren't far behind which means they were in 5th and 6th place. With Kelsey, Anna, and Abby in the back (10th, 11th, and 12th places), that means Luke, Brad, and Clark were in 7th, 8th, and 9th. In the top 4 runners, the bottom two ranked people are Ben and Paul, which means that they were in 1st and 2nd, and the top ranked person was doing the worst, Stephen, which means that he was in 4th putting Jessica in 3rd place. Brianna was in 5th place, and Major Felicia was in 6th place. Clark and Brad passed Luke in a certain order, making Clark 7th, Brad 8th, and Luke 9th. The three girls in back then were in their places according to their rank, so that put Anna in 10th, Abby in 11th, and Kelsey in 12th. So, now we know what place everyone is after this lap.
On the second lap Paul slipped and was passed by Jessica, putting Ben in 1st, Jessica in 2nd, and Paul in 3rd. Clark moved up 2 spots putting him in 5th place, Brianna in 6th place, and Felicia in 7th place. Felicia then switched places with Anna, which put Felicia in 10th place, and Anna in 7th place. Luke and Brad switched places as well, which put Luke in 8th, and Brad in 9th. The 11th and 12th place people switched places too, which put Kelsey in 11th, and Abby in 12th.
On the third lap the 10th and 11th place people switched spots, putting Kelsey in 10th, and Felicia in 11th. 5th and 6th place switched, making Brianna in 5th, and Clark in 6th, and the 7th and 8th place people switched, putting Luke in 7th and Anna in 8th. Brad was passed by the two people who were directly behind him which made Kelsey in 9th, Felicia in 10th, and Brad in 11th. Jessica was also passed by Paul, the person directly behind her, putting Paul in 2nd, and Jessica in 3rd.
Their new ranks are:
Lieutenant General Stephen
Lieutenant Colonel Anna
Captain Clark
First Lieutenant Ben
First Lieutenant Felicia
Second Lieutenant Jessica
Second Lieutenant Paul
Corporal Brianna
Private Luke
Private Kelsey
Private Brad
Private Abby

Giants recover from Phillies' rally, win in 10th
Zito turns in strong effort before Romo's blown save
SAN FRANCISCO -- Maybe the Giants should take their act to Las Vegas, performing thrill acts for dinner-theater audiences.
Perhaps that's a silly notion. But manager Bruce Bochy innocently conjured that idea with his remarks following the Giants' latest suspenseful victory, a 4-3, 10-inning decision Wednesday over the Philadelphia Phillies that ended with Andres Torres' two-out RBI single.
"I'm used to it. It's our way. You go back to last year's postseason," Bochy said, referring to the Giants' record-equaling run of six consecutive victories in elimination games. "It's like these guys are entertainers. I enjoyed the game. It's an exciting game for everyone."
Excitement is routine for the Giants. They recorded their third walk-off victory in this homestand's first six games and fifth of the season. Of the 34 games they've played, 15 were one-run decisions -- they're 10-5 in those outings -- and seven ended in two-run margins. They're 3-3 in extra-inning games.
"I think guys have a feeling that good things are going to happen," said catcher Buster Posey, who lined a pinch-hit single to open the 10th before coming around to score the winning run. "You have success, the more confidence you'll have."
The Phillies tried to diminish that faith by scoring twice in the ninth off Sergio Romo to erase San Francisco's 3-1 lead. Romo blew only his second save opportunity in 14 chances. But, as Bochy pointed out, the closer did well to strand the potential go-ahead run at third base and keep the score tied.
Javier Lopez blanked Philadelphia in the 10th on 10 pitches to set up the Giants' rally, which began with Posey's hit off Antonio Bastardo. Posey advanced to second base on Joaquin Arias' sacrifice bunt and took third on Bastardo's wild pitch. Bastardo walked Brandon Crawford before striking out Guillermo Quiroz. Up came Torres, who lined the first pitch cleanly on a hop into right field for his fourth career walk-off hit.
"I want to be aggressive," Torres said, describing his approach in that situation. "I was sitting on one of [Bastardo's] sliders, but he threw me a fastball."
Bastardo's wild pitch enabled Posey to demonstrate his Most Valuable Player-level skill. It was a ball in the dirt that catcher Carlos Ruiz blocked and kept in front of him. But he couldn't quite grab the ball in time to throw out Posey, who beat Ruiz's peg with a headfirst slide.
Without Posey's 90-foot advance, said Bochy, "I don't know if he scores on [Torres'] hit. It was a great read. For that to work, you have to have some anticipation and get a good break off of second base."
Posey calculated the odds.
"At that point in the game, I felt like it was worth the chance to take that risk," he said. "You kind of see it and go."
Philadelphia's rally denied a victory to Giants starter Barry Zito, who yielded one run and four hits while working one batter into the eighth inning. Significantly, he walked none.
"I just let them get themselves out," Zito said after fashioning the Giants' third quality start in 11 games. "It's important to get them swinging the bat and not let them get the free pass. I wanted to make them earn it."
Zito lapsed only when he surrendered a fourth-inning homer to Kevin Frandsen, the former Giant who happens to be a buddy of his.
"Obviously, you don't ever want to give up a home run," Zito said. "But if I'm going to give one up, I'd rather it be my friend than somebody I don't know or don't really care about."
The .103-hitting Zito also stroked a run-scoring single in the sixth inning, following Hunter Pence's second-inning homer and Marco Scutaro's fifth-inning RBI bloop single to put the Giants ahead, 3-1. Zito surprisingly pulled Jonathan Pettibone's pitch on the ground sharply into right field to generate his 11th RBI in 322 career at-bats.
"I got a fastball in and tried to pull my hands in," said Zito, sounding like an accomplished hitter. "I don't try to pull the ball too often, but I was able to have a quicker bat through the zone right there."
It was just another contribution to the Giants' winning act.

I was visited a lot of forums founds in google and i see a lot of videos from you tube.
I follow all steps, step by step. But i can not take pass from gmail or yahoo for example.
I was catched pass in plain text from another sites like issuu.com and yahoo pass in the messenger (plain text). But still getting nothing on gmail or yahoo (http no https).
I understand your comment and i lought too. But, can you give me any suggestion, please?
Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
* post your question to a forum where it's off topic
* post a very elementary question to a forum where advanced technical questions are expected, or vice-versa
* cross-post to too many different newsgroups
* post a personal e-mail to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem
No offense slackware but first I'd improve my english since all good tech books, documentations, etc. which you really should read are written in english.

I in no way intend to steer you away from eventually using Back|Track, but you need to learn to crawl before attempting to sprint across this finish line....
"The goal of every man should be to continue living even after he can no longer draw breath."
Ettercap need something else to get gmail password? With sites using plain text in passwords i'm not having problems.
By the way, ettercap say always: not poisoning at all...
Are just a few to name. After you've picked your distro, go to your local bookstore or online store and order a Linux book or two...depending on your knowledge maybe something more from the ground up i.e. TCP/IP Fundamentals, etc. If you are eager to learn please listen to everyone here and trust us that you cannot just jump into doing these things. You can read online articles that will show you how to do the commands but you will never actually LEARN what you are doing or why you are doing it.
Please forgive me if my opinion offends anyone.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Edgar Herrera's 77th minute goal broke a 2-2 tie and sent the Saint Leo men's soccer team to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Palm Beach Atlantic at a rowdy University Field on Saturday evening.
The victory kept the Lions unblemished as they move to 4-0 on the season while PBA (1-1-1) heads back to south Florida with its first loss of 2013.
Herrera's strike capped off a stellar second half for the Lions as they responded from a 2-1 halftime deficit with two unanswered goals for the victory. For many of the 313 fans in attendance it appeared that it was the Lions with the fresher legs as the minutes racked up. Using that to their advantage, Saint Leo was able to maintain possession for a good majority of the half.
Scoring opened up quickly as the Sailfish struck in the third minute but Javiem Blanchette provided an answer just two minutes later with an unassisted strike from inside the box.
The goal explosion to open the game also closed out the half as PBA was able to sneak in the go-ahead tally with just 46 seconds left in the stanza. It would provide the advantage that Saint Leo would have to overcome in second 45 minutes.
A Lukas Cramer header off of a Michael Panter corner kick in the 58th minute got the second-half scoring started that would conclude with Herrera's 77th minute magic.
A busy night in goal for Manuel Schoenhuber saw him pick up his fourth win of the season after posting a second-half clean sheet. He would finish the night with nine saves while only allowing two goals.

Cold shooting dooms Central women's basketball team
DUBUQUE— The Central College women's basketball team had open shots and plenty of chances, but the squad couldn't convert in a 66-43 defeat at University of Dubuque Saturday.
"We didn't shoot well at all," said coach Mike Jacobsma. "We had the open looks and great opportunities. We played good defense in the first half, but we couldn't transfer anything into points."
The Dutch hit a chilly 30.2 percent from the floor. Dubuque (16-7, overall, 6-6 conference) shot out to an early 10-point lead in the first, and Central (10-13 overall, 3-9 conference) was never able to control the game. The Dutch made a small push and came within 12 points, finishing 32-20 at halftime.
The Spartans came out strong in the second, widening the gap to 20 points with 10:26 left in regulation. The Dutch climbed to within 48-31, but never got closer the rest of the way. Although Central outrebounded Dubuque 42-34, the Spartans shot 40 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range during the game. The Dutch shot just 16.7 percent from behind the arc.
"We had a lot of 2nd half offensive rebounds which put us in a good position, but we didn't get the ball in the hole," Jacobsma said. "We played defense more aggressively and we tried to create some movement on offense, but we couldn't get the job done."
Guards Kenzie Vander Molen (sophomore, Pella) and Rachel Evans (sophomore, Fort Dodge) scored 12 points and eight points, respectively. Evans had six rebounds. Forward Nicole Strasko (senior, Roland, Roland-Story HS) grabbed a team-high nine rebounds.
The Dutch have a few days to rest before hosting a women's-men's doubleheader against Loras College (16-6 overall, 6-5 conference) at P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium on Wednesday. Tip-off is set at 6 p.m. The Dutch last played Loras at Dubuque on Jan. 19 and lost 65-49.
"We have these last two home games to finish stronger," said Jacobsma. "We just need to come out and play."
The women's team will be hosting PINK night on Wednesday to raise awareness for breast cancer. All proceeds from donations will go to the Pella Regional Health Center Foundation for Breast Cancer Recovery.

Cid's Style File
My jeans, if I could I would wear jeans everyday. I love them because their are so many styles of jeans that can work for everyone. You can dress them up and look sexy or be totally casual and comfy.
I don't really have favorite plus size designer, but over all I love Betsey Johnson and Anna Sui. I love Betsey and Anna because their designs are always a fun, with a bit of edge yet still flirty and feminine. If either designer had a plus size line I would fill my closet with all their clothing.
I would create a potion that you would put on your hair it would instantly straighten your hair. I have very curly hair & its hard to manage. As much as I would love straight, I hate to use a flatiron or dryer, so if I could just put on gel or some kind of potion I would be in heaven! I would call it curls b-gone!
Paris is my dream city & vacation spot. The fact that is one of the most fashionable & stylish cities I think I would grab trash bags & bring as much as I could. I wouldn't want to be unprepared in Pairs, or I can just pack my undergarments and go on a shopping spree in the city of lights! That would be a dream come true!
My fashion philosophy is I wear what makes me feel good and comfortable. I like many styles of fashion and I try to incorporated as many as I can in my wardrobe (not all at once of course) Don't want to limit my self to a certain definition of style, life's too short not to be stylish!

Long story short, I am pretty new to rift(2 weeks) and my wife tried it and really wants to play, but, the catch is, she doesn't want to join guilds on her first character so just the two of us and just duo'ing to 50 and doing rifts together until she gets the hang of it. Now, she is going to be 'tanking' for us, as she likes killing stuff(it's why i married her i guess...lol) so i will be the support/heals/aoe character keeping her alive and helping kill when more than 1 mob comes a calling. For her, I was thinking a semi-self heal Reaver/Riftblade since it has good ST and AOE damage,plus easy to use which is really IMPORTANT for my wife's 1st character(1 or 2 macros and she's good to go) similar to this build http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0cALE.iuox0hk.EGszdsMGdsR.-5
Now, for me, i need help, i am lost. I was thinking something with heavy Chloro, or a ranged Cleric build...but i really need some recommendations? Chloro seems easier as the heals are based around my and her doing damage, but i don't know what to pair it with. But a cleric seems like it would do well too, as they do have some nice AOE stuff.
So....can someone help my wife and I out and get us off to a good start?? Please and thanky~

RTS bus driver accused of stealing cell phones
Published: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 7:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 7:13 p.m.
A Gainesville Regional Transit System bus driver was arrested on grand theft charges Friday night when a woman whose cellphone was stolen used GPS to track the theft to the driver, Gainesville police reported.
Kathryn Spencer, 45, of 4100 SW 20th Ave., Apt. F8, was charged with two counts of grand theft for allegedly stealing two phones.
On Friday, an office manager at the Hunter's Run apartment complex at 2600 SW Williston Road reported to police that she mistakenly left her cellphone, valued at $600, in the clubhouse restroom and returned to find it gone.
Police reported that the only person to use the restroom in between was an RTS driver. Drivers are required to take mandatory breaks, and the complex gave Spencer access to the clubhouse.
The victim used a GPS program to track her phone and found that her phone went to all of the stops on Spencer's route, according to the report.
An officer later went to Spencer's home, and she admitted to having the phone in the trunk of her car, the report states.
While recovering that phone, the officer found another phone from a different theft case, police reported. That phone was valued at $360.
The arrest report states that Spencer told police that the phone was turned into her Friday by someone on the bus. She admitted using the clubhouse bathroom often and that RTS has a strict policy requiring employees to turn in any lost or found items at the end of their shift.

With historic drought conditions across the state, U.S. Senator Pat Roberts and Kansas Governor Sam Brownback today said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has pledged it will cease releasing waters from three Kansas River reservoirs: Tuttle Creek, Milford and Perry Lake, on August 7th; allowing critical water to remain in the state.
"I am pleased the Corps recognizes our critical need to preserve this water here at home where our farmers, ranchers and municipalities must use this critical resource to battle the drought," Roberts said.
"Managing our country's water ways requires a delicate balance. The Army Corps of Engineers has the discretion to recognize what is normally done may not be what is best for those who depend upon the reservoir system. We appreciate the Army Corps' willingness to discuss these issues and move towards agreeable solutions," Brownback said. "We look forward to continuing to work with Senator Roberts and the Corps, especially as it relates to the ongoing need for increased flexibility from the corps in such situations."
Last week, the Army Corps of Engineers announced it would release water from the Kansas River reservoirs until at least August 8th and retain the option to reopen the flow from the reservoirs in October. The Army Corps said the decision was to assist with river navigation and also to comply with the Endangered Species Act to preserve wildlife and their habitat north of Kansas.
Following a letter from Gov. Brownback and a series of calls to Jody Farhat, Chief of the Missouri River Water Management Division of the Army Corps of Engineers, from Senator Roberts at the Governor's request as well as from the Governor and Kansas Water Office staff, the Army Corps agreed to discontinue tapping Kansas reservoirs August 7, 2012 through the end of the release season, pledging not to release water in October. Wildlife and navigation needs will continue to be addressed.
Senator Roberts and Governor Brownback brought together state, local and federal government officials, along with representatives from the agriculture industry, last Wednesday to talk about the effects of the drought across Kansas and how best to coordinate assistance for local farmers and ranchers. During this conference, Governor Brownback asked Senator Roberts to request the Army Corps of Engineers cease using valuable Kansas water to meet navigation needs downstream on the Missouri River.
Senator Roberts and Governor Brownback will continue to work together to ensure state and federal efforts are coordinated to make certain the needs of Kansans are the top priority when managing state resources.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill that would eliminate an ATM fee disclosure requirement.
Currently, the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act requires banks, credit unions and others that operate ATMs to provide two notices that a fee might or will be charged. The first notice must be on the machine, the second on the screen or a paper printout.
Failure to provide both notices opens the door to consumer class-action lawsuits.
Industry groups have charged that plaintiffs in these lawsuits intentionally removed, destroyed or damaged the notices, then photographed the machines to demonstrate supposed noncompliance. The temptation is high since, according to the Independent Community Bankers of America, or ICBA, plaintiffs can recover $500,000 or 1 percent of the ATM operator's net worth, whichever is less.
The bill, H.R. 4367, would end the on-machine notice requirement. The on-screen or on-paper notice would still be required. However, that notice typically appears only after the consumer has initiated some sort of interaction with the machine.
Industry groups applauded the House's passage of the bill.
ICBA CEO Cam Fine said in a statement that the notice requirement "has led to baseless and frivolous lawsuits that threaten the viability of ATM operators." The group is a major supporter of the legislation.
Bill Cheney, CEO of the Credit Union National Association, said in a statement that credit unions "appreciate" passage of the bill, which "eliminates a frustrating regulatory burden."
"House passage of this legislation is an important milestone," Cheney said, "but the work is not done. We urge the Senate to take up this measure as soon as possible and provide credit unions with much-needed regulatory relief."
Fee notices are all the more important for consumers because fees to use an out-of-network ATM rose to new highs for the seventh consecutive year in 2011, according to Bankrate's 2011 Checking Account Survey, which tracks bank checking account fees.
The survey found that the average fee banks changed noncustomers for an ATM transaction last year was up 3 percent to $2.40 compared with $2.33 in the prior year.
Consumers generally can avoid ATM fees by using their own bank's ATMs.

Helen Mirren in a bikini, by insanely large request
I gotta hand it to you guys: You don't hesitate for a second when I violate the Sacred Bikini Code of posting regardless of age, weight or breastlessness. I received no less than 78 gajillion emails asking why I haven't posted these shots of 63-year-old actress Helen Mirren (The Queen) in a bikini. You're a surprisingly more mature bunch than I thought. Time to start skewing my jokes towards an older crowd. Here's a good one:
What did the Kaiser say to Howard Hughes?
War bonds?! I thought she was a Studebaker!
Ha! Tomfoolery at its best! Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine, folks, and remember; nothing soothes what ails you like a refreshing Lucky Strike. Signing off.

Crawford homers twice as Kershaw cruises
Lefty throws eight shutout innings, strikes out 12 to deliver series win
LOS ANGELES -- Clayton Kershaw and Carl Crawford were back in All-Star form Sunday afternoon.
Kershaw tossed eight shutout innings, and Crawford homered twice to lead the Dodgers past the Brewers, 2-0, at Dodger Stadium. It was the first time the Dodgers won a series at home since sweeping the Pirates in the first week of the season.
"Clayton obviously was really good today," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "I thought he did a good job today of using his whole mix. He threw more changeups today, used his curveball more."
After losing two of his past three outings and not pitching past the sixth in his past two starts, Kershaw earned his first victory since April 6.
"Clayton is always driven," Mattingly said. "He's just a grinder. That's just how Clayton is. Any time he struggles, he's going to be particularly focused that next outing.
"Before the game, it was can Kershaw get back to being Kershaw? So I think we found that out."
Crawford gave Kershaw an early lead when he belted the first pitch he saw from Brewers starter Kyle Lohse to left field for a leadoff home run. It was Crawford's eighth career leadoff homer and his first since April 10 at San Diego.
"I picked today to try to be aggressive with the first pitch," Crawford said. "That's just been something from the past week. A lot of guys have been getting ahead with the first pitch right down the middle."
Crawford added another solo shot in the fifth. The outfielder fell behind, 0-2, against Lohse, but pounded a hanging breaking ball into the bleachers in right. It was Crawford's first multi-homer game since July 8, 2010, when he played for Tampa Bay. The four-time All-Star has three homers in his past three games following a 2-for-19 skid during a six-game road trip.
Crawford is hitting .307 in 24 games and credits the coaching staff for allowing him to be aggressive at the top of the order.
"They pretty much gave me the freedom to be myself and not really try to be like a traditional leadoff hitter that takes a bunch of pitches and tries to slap the ball," said Crawford, who leads the Dodgers with 20 runs scored. "For the most part, I'm trying to hit the ball in the gap."
Crawford's homers were the only mistakes Lohse made. The right-hander shut down the rest of the Dodgers' lineup and allowed just three singles. He struck out four and walked none in seven innings.
But Kershaw was better.
Kershaw struck out 12, one shy of his career high, over eight innings and allowed just two runners to reach scoring position on four hits. It was his 19th career game with at least 10 strikeouts. Kershaw has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 18 consecutive starts, the longest active streak in the Major Leagues.
"Both guys threw great," Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun said. "Kyle threw the ball phenomenal for us, and Clayton was as good as I've ever seen him. There's no doubt he's one of the top pitchers in the game, if not the top pitcher. When a guy like that is on top of his game, commanding all of his pitches, you know you're in for a tough day."
The Brewers had a beat on Kershaw early, and he allowed three hits to the first five batters he faced. But he settled in and recorded 18 consecutive outs, including nine strikeouts, before Carlos Gomez doubled to lead off the eighth.
Kershaw squashed any hopes of a Brewers rally, though. Yuniesky Betancourt struck out looking. Martin Maldonado broke his bat, and Kershaw fielded the ball to catch Gomez in a rundown. The Dodgers' ace fanned pinch-hitter Khris Davis to end the threat and his outing. He walked off to a standing ovation.
"He just seems to get stronger when the situation gets tougher toward the end of the game," said fellow starter Chris Capuano. "To watch him dig deep like that is really fun."
Kershaw was unavailable for comment after the game, dealing with a personal issue, according to a Dodgers spokesman.
Playing without second baseman Mark Ellis for the second time in as many games, the Dodgers turned to Nick Punto to fill the void. Punto stepped up and had three hits to go with solid defense at second.
Ellis has not played since he strained his right quad in the fifth inning of Friday's 7-5 win against Milwaukee. The veteran is still hoping to avoid a trip to the disabled list.
Brandon League pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his eighth save in nine chances. It was the first perfect inning for the closer since April 13, a span of five appearances.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [LH] March 1, 2010 Full Moon Brings Flood of Toyota ShareLunkers ATHENS -- Three lakes-Austin, Amistad and O.H. Ivie-spit out Toyota ShareLunkers February 27, the day before the full moon. Carl Adkins of San Marcos led off the action with Toyota ShareLunker 481, a 13.1-pounder from Lake Austin. Adkins was fishing near the Loop 360 bridge in seven to 12 feet of 51-degree water with a soft plastic lure. The catch came at 6:45 a.m. ShareLunker program manager and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department information specialist Larry Hodge were on their way to pick up the fish when the phone rang at mid-morning with news of the Lake Amistad catch. Teddy Silcox of Del Rio landed a 13.02-pounder, Toyota ShareLunker 482, from 28 feet of 52-degree water. He was using a Boudreaux bait. Fish lightning struck a third time while Campbell was charging the hauling tank with water from Lake Austin. Randy Jackson of Mineral Wells caught a 13.03-pound ShareLunker, No. 483, from O.H. Ivie Reservoir. He was fishing in three feet of 43-degree water with a black and blue Easy Jig. "At that point David Campbell and I were hoping the phone would ring again and hoping it wouldn't," Hodge said. Three fish to be picked up hundreds of miles apart presented a problem, but other TPWD staff from the A.E. Wood Fish Hatchery and the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center volunteered to help. By the time the day ended at midnight, the three crews had logged about 1,200 miles. And no matter what your opinion is on the influence of moon phases on fish catches, ShareLunker records clearly show that the biggest factor in when fish are caught is not the moon phase. Most fish are caught on weekends, because that's when most people go fishing. Three or more ShareLunker catches on the same day have come in February only once before, in 1995. All three fish came from Lake Fork. From three to five fish have been caught on the same day seven other times, all in March. The catches bring the number of entries into the Toyota ShareLunker program for the current season to 12. Since the program's inception, Lake Austin and O.H. Ivie have produced eight lunkers each. Amistad has now gone double-digit with 10 entries. Because of the number of entries expected in the coming years from Amistad and O.H. Ivie, official ShareLunker weigh and receiving stations have been set up at those lakes. Angler's Lodge serves Lake Amistad, and Elm Creek Village serves O.H. Ivie. Additional stations are being sought; interested parties should contact David Campbell for details. A list of the current stations is at http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/sharelunker/holding/. Videos of selected ShareLunker anglers talking about their catches can be seen at www.facebook.com/sharelunkerprogram/. Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between October 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling program manager David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours. ShareLunker entries are used in a selective breeding program at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens. Some of the offspring from these fish are stocked back into the water body from which they were caught. Other ShareLunker offspring are stocked in public waters around the state in an attempt to increase the overall size and growth rate of largemouth bass in Texas. Anglers entering fish into the Toyota ShareLunker program will receive a free replica of their fish, a certificate and ShareLunker clothing and be recognized at a banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens on June 5, 2010. In addition, if a Texas angler catches the largest entry of the year, that person will receive a lifetime fishing license.For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass and a recap of last year's season, see tpwd.texas.gov/sharelunker. The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available.The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible by a grant to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation from Gulf States Toyota. Toyota is a long-time supporter of the Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, providing major funding for a wide variety of education, fish, parks and wildlife projects. -30-

Maintaining healthy fresh cows is among the top 10 most important factors that can impact a dairy operation's financial performance, according to dairy consultant Greg Bethard, Ph.D.
Dr. Bethard, of G&R Dairy Consulting, in Blacksburg, Va., said fresh cow health "sets the table for everything else on a dairy," including driving milk production, income over feed costs, pregnancy generation and cow flow. His discussion of the "Keys to a Good P&L" came at a Preconference Symposium sponsored by Prince Agri Products, Inc., at the recent Penn State Dairy Cattle Nutrition Workshop in Grantville, Pa.
"It's really difficult to have a profitable dairy with fresh cows that aren't healthy," he said. "It drives overall herd health, predicts the near-term future and impacts employee morale in a big way."
Supporting his comments, other Preconference Symposium presenters discussed the negative impact of low blood calcium on the health and productivity of dairy cows around the time of calving. Information also was shared about a negative dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) diet as an effective tool to help maintain normal blood calcium concentrations in these animals.
Animate®, from Prince Agri Products, is an anionic mineral supplement that helps reduce the risk of low blood calcium in pre- and post-partum dairy cows. Being highly palatable, it has been shown to help attain a negative DCAD diet while also maintaining high dry matter intake.
Dr. Bethard's other top 10 keys to a good P&L include:
- Keep a full barn – figure out how many cows you can fit in your "manufacturing plant" and strive to maintain that every day.
- Minimize replacement costs – the third highest cost of producing milk.
- Realize quality and component premiums – premiums boost milk income.
- Maximize income over feed costs – this is the key margin that is impacted directly by management.
- Procure high quality forages – it is hard to have healthy or productive cows with poor quality forages.
- Generate pregnancies – pregnancies generate cow flow and income over feed costs.
- Cut costs intelligently – save where you can, but not at the cost of health, fresh cows or forage quality.
- Control labor costs per hundredweight – dilute labor over more milk.
- Minimize feed shrink – if feed shrink were itemized, it would be the third or fourth highest cost on the dairy for the average dairy; and the second highest cost for the below-average dairy.

PEARLAND, Texas - Police have arrested a man who has been accused of robbing a US Postal worker in Pearland.
Pearland police said they believe 19-year-old Derelle Marquis Hollins approached a mail carrier who was delivering mail in the 12300 block of Shady Brook in the Shadow Creek Ranch subdivision.
According to officials, Hollins had pulled out a gun and demanded the mail carrier's wallet. After taking the victim's money, police said Hollins fled on foot and is believed to have left the area in a dark blue Hyundai Sonata with paper tags.
Police said it was Hollins's vehicle that led police to his identity. On Wednesday, a witness reported to police that she had seen a vehicle matching the description of the vehicle northbound on Cullen Boulevard. The witness copied down the tag number and called police.
Hollins has been charged with aggravated robbery, which is a first-degree felony.
Authorities said they also believe Hollins is responsible for the burglary of his grandfather's residence in the 1300 block of Starlight Bay. Hollins has also been charged with burglary of a habitation, a second-degree felony.

What is DNS (Domain Name Services)
Last Updated: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 > Related Articles
Learn more about Domain Name Services (DNS) and how it translates domain names into IP addresses.
DNS functions as the Internet's "yellow pages." Each web server, email server, etc. has an IP address (Internet Protocol address) that is unique to that server. Trying to remember the IP address of your favorite web sites would be impossible, so DNS was created.
DNS is the Internet service that translates domain names (e.g. yahoo.com) into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet, however, is really based on the IP address. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 18.104.22.168.
When you type in a web site, such as Coxbusiness.com, your browser connects to a DNS server on the internet. Your browser asks for the IP address of the web site Coxbusiness.com. Once the IP is obtained, a request is made to the web server for the page you requested.

(noun): Student/fan/alum of the formerly named Florida Technical University now known as the University of Central Florida. Originally known as the Citronauts, then Golden Knights and now just Knights, these folks are known for being athletically irrelevant with an over-inflated sense of self. They are jealous of USF, especially that the Bulls have OWNED the Knights in every way, especially in football. They claim superiority by touting their on-campus football stadium, which is nothing more than a glorified high school field. If a UCF fan gets in your way, just play "Zombie Nation" and hand them a beer...this will put them in a trance, thus rendering them harmless.

I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
2 in a row now! good work John!
THKS Neil ==== I'm getting it going after a dismal winter.........Not running very fast, but at least I'm getting some mileage now.......
as you & I & most experienced runners on RA know, consistency & time on feet (duration/ mileage) are priority #1. Anything else is built on a strong aerobic base. speed comes later and/or at races. anyway keep logging those miles. I'm confident you will pull off a string of those 100 mpm"s
Nice work!
I know the feeling. After like, 6 straight 100+ mile months, I was injured and missed by a lot in February. I woraked my way back up to 100+ the last two months, but life derailed me this time. Coaching obligations, and plain old life obligations made it difficult to hit that magic number. I'll be at 90 by Friday, but I still feel like I cheated myself. Still, life happens and anytime I can hit triple digits, I'm stoked.
Current PRs:
Next race: Ashland 4th of July 10K
Miles to Go
Way to go! Congrats!
With my run today I have also gone over 100 miles in a month for my FIRST TIME EVER!!!
See how they run...

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 6.12.14
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed which features back-to-back shots of Lindsay Lohan and Tara Reid for those of you having trouble starting the conversation about drugs with your children. There's also Hugh Jackman's facial hair for his role in Peter Pan which he didn't at all take entirely based on mistaking Peter's affectionate nickname for Tinkerbell. (Long way around for that one, I know.) Finally, did you know Andrew Dice Clay had a direct line to the White House?
"Hickory Dickory Dock, some bitch was sucking my cock, as the clock struck two, I dropped off my goo, and when are we going to even begin the conversation on meaningful immigration reform? I'm not even talking amnesty here, but could we at least acknowledge that separating parents from young children just creates a revolving door of deportation an re-entry?"

Topic: Results of 4/8 PET Scan
Hi Everyone,
I got some not so good news on Friday and am still trying to take it all in. It seems it's always one step ahead and two steps back with this disease. It's very discouraging and though I'm trying to stay positive I'm finding it very difficult to do so. Overall, I'm do ok - just have some bowel/gas issues which seems to be from the surgery on 3/25 (details below).
My PET scan on 4/8 is showing that the tumor in my bile duct in my liver has grown considerably and the tumor that was dormant (more details below) is showing some activity again. They are still going ahead with the SBRT. They will hit the older tumor with a lower dose of SBRT and the new tumor with the higher dose as planned. They are still saying surgery is not an option for me because the tumor is on both sides of the bile duct in the liver and they would have to take too much of the liver and I would need a transplant and I'm not a candidate for a transplant. In March I was told this is intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma - Stage III (lymph nodes were involved). Now the radiation oncologist is also saying possible klatksin tumor (along with intrahepatic) because my tumor is at the junction of the bile ducts outside the liver and then goes into the liver. I'm still trying to understand this all!!!
I'm sorry this is going to be a long post as I want to re-tell my story to see if anyone can provide any insight for me to help deal with this.
As I mentioned in my first post, when I joined this website, I was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma - unknown primary in August 2011. The tumor they found was wrapped around my celiac and hepatic arteries. After two biopsies (at two different hospitals), it was determined that the cells that were found in the tumor are usually cells found in the pancreas or bile ducts. However, both areas were coming up clean with every CT and PET scan. That was until February of this year when I had a PET scan and MRI. That's when they saw the primary site - in my bile duct in the liver and re-diagnosed me as Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma - Stage III (because lymph nodes were involved).
Treatment in Oct-Dec 2011 was 5-FU, oxaliplatin and leucovorin together for 4 cycles (went home hooked up to 5-FU for 3 days each cycle). Then in Jan-Feb 2012 I had 28 radiation treatments. That's when it seemed like the tumor was dead but what they called, at the time, a regional spread showed up running along the portal vein. So in May-Oct 2012 I started chemo again - same as above but 8 cycles. That didn't help at all so in November 2012 they started me on gemcitabine. Was suppose to be one day a week for three weeks then off a week and back on again. I wasn't able to get full dose because my counts kept going down drastically. I continued on gemcitabine until January of this year. Then on 2/14/13 I had the PET scan and MRI and that's when they saw the tumor in the bile duct in the liver and decided on stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). After several doctor appts and surgery (3/25/13) to have mesh spacers put in to push my stomach and small intestine back so the radiation only hits my liver - also had fiducial markers (gold seeds) inserted in the tumor to help, more accurately, guide the SBRT, I am scheduled to start SBRT on 5/8/13. It will be 5 treatments - Wed, Fri then Mon, Wed, Fri the next week.
I'm being treat at Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC.
Any advice anyone can give me would be much appreciated.

I've been researching the hell out of stem cells, mainly because they have great potential to cure hair loss and may not require the lengthy clinical trials of Aderans or Replicel if these stem cells are autologous. I came across a very interesting website: www.stemcellfusion.com. I don't know how much of this website is bullshit and how much is legit but I will point out what I think are the legit parts. First, scroll down to the video under the caption: "Blindness - See Again With Adult Stem Cell". This describes where a girl was blind since birth but after an infusion of stem cells, she now has nearly 20/20 vision and is driving again. It really seems to me that if stem cells can cure blindness, then they sure as hell can cure something like hair loss. Also, this story comes from a CBS affiliate here in the U.S. so it strikes me as being legitimate.
Next, scroll down 2 videos from there to the video under the heading "The Science of the Future". Go to the 1:58 point of the video. It states that bone marrow stem cells can become any cell in the body once they are placed in that specific area of the body. For example, if a bone marrow stem cell is injected into the pancreas, it becomes a pancreatic stem cell. So according to this reasoning, if a bone marrow stem cell was injected into the scalp, it would become a hair stem cell. If this is true, then it is really about f****in time that doctors started using bone marrow stem cells for hair growth. This has actually been suggested on here several times except no doctors seem to be willing to do it. Doctors really need to start looking into performing such a procedure.
*****Note - as I read more of this website, I'm beginning to think that the website itself may either be not legitimate or at least very poor put together. However, the youtube videos on the website that I alerted everyone to contain some modicum of legitimacy, especially the first one.

irev210 - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkAs a former Infrant/Netgear user (now QNAP), I am glad to see Netgear step it up. It seems like they are offering a much more competitive product this time around. The acquisition of Infrant definitely let some lumpy products in (bad power supplies, faulty wiring of fans, poor iSCSI implementation, etc).
Hopefully, this clean slate will put Netgear's products above QNAP again. I am looking to upgrade and that ReadyNAS 516 looks pretty killer. Reply
creed3020 - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkSynology better take not because these new offerings from Netgear offer very good value from a hardware point of view. As an owner of a Synology DS212j I am quickly learning the shortcomings of the Synology hardware. We heap praises on them for their OS, DSM, which I agree is slick. It is quickly becoming evident to me that my unit is running out of steam when it comes to the CPU and RAM. Synology has been moving their base amount of RAM to 512 but not all models are there yet. The prices points here are also very aggressive. The inclusion of more GE ports, USB 3.0 ports, and eSATA ports across the range is awesome. Then there is the HDMI port and my HTPC is starting to look silly as the convergence of network devices continues.
Long live the NAS! Reply
maximumGPU - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkAgreed! also an owner of a DS212j. I'm aware it's an entry level model, but still it's not cheap, and you quickly find that you can easily overwork the CPU and RAM to the point where it sits there chocking on its tasks while you wait.. frustrating.
i put up with it though because as you point out their OS/DSM is very nice to use indeed. Reply
creed3020 - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkThe CPU especially on the DS212j doesn't have legs to run all that far. Media Indexing can somewhat cripple the unit for days depending on much you have on the NAS. File transfer though seem to task the CPU the most out of my uses. Heck I have a full LAMP stack running a website and forums that runs lighter. It's this kind of functionality that makes my Synology a keeper. Just upgraded to DSM 4.2 and loving the reworked Package Center. I'm hoping to see more additions to the platform in the future. Reply
viktormadarasz - Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - linkHi,
Which one I should pick up?Im in a debate between the Netgear Readynas 102 and Synolody DS213+ ? Is there any area where the Netgear come short compared to the Synology? Which would give me more features or if not better value/performace/money ratio? thx Reply
wcmaxi - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkI recently bought a ReadyNAS Ultra 2... living nightmare that still doesn't work after 2 weeks back and forth with tech support. I went the cheap road and I will be junking this (can't take it back, bought it while traveling in the US) for a Synology. Horrid, horrid, experience. Reply
jramskov - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkInteresting that they are using BTRFS as a filesystem. AFAIK, it's still in heavy development.
I once owned a ReadyNAS NV+ and I generally quite liked it, but their interface sucked. Glad to see they have made a new OS. It will be interesting to see how well it stacks up against Synology and so on. Reply
Gigaplex - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkI choked on my lunch when I read they were using BTRFS. It's not production ready, even the developers themselves admit that. Reply
rastamanphan - Sunday, March 24, 2013 - linkI don't think Netgear would open themselves up to damages if it wasn't ready. Reply
u02sgb - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkOracle are supporting it in Production on Oracle Linux. I haven't any experience of using it or the quality of the support on it though. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkInstead of just listing capacity, could you add the number of drive bays directly? I'm assuming the listed numbers are based on 4TB drives; but barring deliberate firmware restrictions those capacities will be out of date when the next generation of drives become available. Reply
Taristin - Monday, March 18, 2013 - link"The final digit in each model number refers to the number of bays available." Reply
sligett - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkIt seems the final two digits refer to the number of bays available? Or does the 316 have 4 16TB drives in it? Reply
DanNeely - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkIf it is final 2 digits, there are multiple apparent typos in the table. 312 should be 48 unless it maxes out at 2.3TB drives and the 516 should be 64 unless it was rated with 5.25TB drives instead of 4GB ones. Reply
cjb110 - Tuesday, March 19, 2013 - linkIn table order its 2 bay, 4 bay, 2 bay, 4 bay, 6 bay, 6 bay. I assume the 516 supports larger drives hence the capacity differences. (or the 316 is limited in some way) Reply
Aegrum - Monday, March 18, 2013 - link"Therefore, ReadyNAS OS 6.0 is not going to be made available for any of the earlier models (including the Duo v2 / NV+ v2)"
As a Duo v2 owner, this saddens me. Their support of the Duo v2 has been hilariously lackluster. They have almost no ARM support, none of the iOs apps work, and their "dropbox" like ReadyDROP requires a separate network device be installed, so you can't use it on any managed network. I wish I had gotten a Synology instead ... /pout Reply
Kralizec - Monday, March 18, 2013 - linkNow what I really see here is Netgear abandoning its commitment to old products. When the Readynas Duo V2 was launched they promised to update the interface for the intel line to ReadyNAS os5. That was end of 2011 and has yet to happen. Now they are announcing an os6 and at least being honest in saying it won't be back ported. I used to love my netgear products but their support has gone to crap lately. Had another unit with a lifetime warrantee they failed to honor. Do not buy netgear. Reply
Integr8d - Tuesday, March 19, 2013 - linkOwn a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus... Performance is okay. Software is lacking. The fact that Netgear has decided to drop support on a box that's fully capable of running the latest build is ridiculous. Not to mention the promised updates that never came. Bug fixes have been few and far (and I mean far) between. So buyer beware. For $1000 just over a year ago, on a NAS with plenty of power, to get shoved aside like this is a major cause for concern for anyone considering their products. /bitter Reply
Director12 - Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - linkI concur. I had a Netgear streaming box that stopped working when Windows 7 came out, even though the units were still being sold they never updated them to work with Windows 7 so no more NetGear for me. (Got my eye on a nice QNAP TS-419 ATM. ) Reply
sunbear - Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - linkI had a readynas for many years. In the early days they had no competition and I think they under invested in developing the platform. The interface barely changed in 10 years. They also clung to the poorly performing custom fpga based designs for too long and were slow to adopt arm processors. Netgear was also slow to add esata or USB 3 to their products, instead clinging to a USB interface that meant that a full backup could run for days. Finally they rolled out USB 3 but the performance of their implementation was no better than USB 2! The only saving grace was the thriving forum where high quality help was always available. Now there's not a single netgear employee active on the forums. It looks like netgear is now attempting to compete on price and features but the competition has had hardware out that can match or exceed netgear's latest offering for at least a year already. Reply
HomeyT - Sunday, December 28, 2014 - linkI have the RN104, and it is functionally useless. Check the Readynas forums before you waste your money. Reply

AN awards ceremony celebrated the excellence of a variety of building projects.
The South Worcestershire Building Control Partnership held its third Building Excellence Awards at Worcestershire County Cricket Ground, New Road, Worcester, on Tuesday, May 6.
It honoured local developers and construction companies for high quality building projects showing a strong commitment to meeting and exceeding building regulations and standards.
Jack Hegarty, managing director of Wychavon District Council, said: "Good building workmanship so rarely gets appreciated as too often the focus has been on the problems associated with building failures.
"This event was designed to help change this perception by not only demonstrating the range of talented building professionals in the county, but how the three councils are working closely with them to ensure construction projects benefit the local environment."
The winners were selected by a panel of judges from Malvern Hills District Council, Worcester City Council and Wychavon District Council.
Best Social/Affordable Housing went to Speller Metcalfe for 10 dwellings in North Littleton, near Evesham, and Best Individual New Home was awarded to Fred Chalcroft for a replacement dwelling in Castlemorton, near Malvern.
Best Extension to an Existing Home was given to Anthony Francis General Builder for a garage and utility room extension in Malvern and Monor Developments won Best Small Housing Development for new dwellings in Droitwich.
Best Educational/Community Building went to Leon Building Services of Evesham and Simon Haines was awarded Best Change of Use/Conversion for an extension and conversion of garage in Besford, near Pershore.

Yesterday Chanel (the Group, not the brand) announced it would acquire Barrie knitwear, a Scottish cashmere producer whose parent company, Dawson International, went into administration last August due to "a large hole in their pension fund". This is turning into something of a strategic signature for Chanel. Though Barrie is not part of their "Metiers d'Art" group of nine specialist ateliers bought by their Paraffection affiliate, is it fully in line with what seems to be a Group policy regarding buying up and protecting heritage skills, be it glove-making, embroidery, or knitting.

TRIBUTES have been paid after the death of a woman who dedicated her life to helping the deaf community.
Chris Shone spent her spare time teaching sign language in the area, including to emergency services, and set up and ran the UK's largest deaf youth group at Bolton Lads and Girls Club.
Her daughter Billie Raynor said: "She worked at Unsworth's Funeral Service for the past nine years where she helped grieving families get through the hardest times with her compassion, humour and care.
"Many would continue to visit her in the Atherton branch long after their relatives' passing, just for a cup of tea and a friendly chat.
"She had a funny way of making anyone feel better." Mrs Shone, who lived in Atherton all her life, was the sole founder of the club, with some members travelling for two hours twice a week to attend.
Mrs Raynor added: "She was their mentor, guide and saw all of these children as her own.
"Mum took the group on residential holidays all over England, France and Greece, completed charity fundraisers and encouraged members of the group to overcome challenges, whether it be personal problems or physical such as getting them to complete the 'hundred mile canoe trek'.
"She will be so sorely missed, not just as a mum, but as a genuinely talented, loving lady and a good friend to so many."
Mrs Shone died peacefully aged 59 after a short illness at St Ann's Hospice on May 28.

Andrew Witty, GlaxoSmithKline's chief executive, won plenty of column inches and airtime on Monday with the UK drug company's offer to supply developing countries with millions of doses of its vaccine against rotavirus gastroenteritis, at a 95 per cent discount to the western market price.
Your first reaction might well be: if $2.50 a shot still covers GSK's costs, Mr Witty's making quite a margin on the $50 he charges the developed world for the drug. Read more

"July 5th was my day off and I recon I'm kind of glad it was. The boys had a very tough
mission, raiding the Gerbini Airfields. Some big shot somewhere had his head up and
locked and "ordered" that they follow the course he prescribed. It was a honey. They
were to approach the target area from the south, going west of it so that, when they got
well north of it, a turn to the right would bring them southwest to the target. They were
to make a 270° turn to the left after dropping their bombs, fly west a way, then go back
off the island to the south the same way they had come in. And it was a long way from
the target to the coast! It would be just begging for trouble.
And they got it. Shapiro was shot down and crashed on the island---DeMoss, who
followed him down to give him what protection he could, said Shap crashed and
burned—not a chance to live through it. Bradley, of the 446th, was shot down about 8 or
10 miles off the coast of Sicily, and several others were shot up pretty bad. Cohagan and
his crew took a beating---as did his passenger, Capt. R.W. Manly, who got various and
sundry pieces of flak here and there and nearly had the top of one of his fingers torn off.
Cohagan landed at Tunis and left him in the hospital there. He is not back yet, but
should be in a few days. Apparently there was nothing really serious."
