Sutton council are pushing for people to get on their bikes to lead healthier lives and cut the use of cars.
The drive comes on the back of Cheam's Joanna Rowsell picking up a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.
Beginner cycling sessions for cyclists of any age will now be held at Nonsuch Park every Saturday from 2pm.
Cycling sessions will be held at the David Weir leisure centre three times a week, where people can try out two, three and even four-wheeled bikes.
Dr Bike mechanics will be holding events in Sutton, Worcester Park, Carshalton, St Helier, Wallington and Cheam Village. They will be offering safety checks and cycling advice.
Cllr Jill Whitehead, chair of the Environment and Neighbourhoods Committee, said: "Sutton has lots of safe cycle routes and has some of the best green spaces in London to enjoy.
"Whether it's taking up a new sport, getting more active or leaving the car at home, we want to help as many people as possible to get on their bikes."

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - While millions of TV viewers focus on the outcome of the upcoming Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, executives at Mercedes-Benz USA will be waiting for a late-game commercial introducing the car they hope will bring them thousands of new, younger customers.
Marking only the second time Daimler AG's (DAIGn.DE) luxury brand has advertised in the National Football League's championship game, the February 3 advertisement will unveil the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA, a sporty compact sedan due to go on sale next fall priced from around $30,000, according to a source familiar with the company's plans.
Slotted below the C-class as the company's entry-level model in the United States, the 2014 CLA will be aimed at buyers in their 30s who can step up to higher-end Mercedes models as they grow older and more affluent, according to Stephen Cannon, chief executive of Mercedes-Benz USA, in an interview.
The four-door CLA, which is due to make its public debut in March at the Geneva auto show, features a sloping coupe-like roof line similar to that on the larger, more expensive CLS. A preview of the CLA, called Concept Style Coupe, was staged last April at the Beijing Auto Show.
"This isn't going to be a kid's vehicle," Cannon said. The CLA will be priced "significantly below the C-class," which is Mercedes' current entry point. The CLA does not target a first-time car buyer, "but it's going to lower the entry age," he said, from the current 52 years.
Bringing in new, younger buyers is a target all luxury brands are racing to hit to keep themselves relevant in a highly competitive market.
General Motors Co's (GM.N) Cadillac brand earlier this year introduced the 2013 ATS compact sedan that starts at about $34,000, and Ford Motor Co (F.N) will show a concept version of the 2014 Lincoln MKC compact crossover at the Detroit auto show in January.
Cannon said the Super Bowl commercial and a promotional campaign built around it represent the largest single marketing investment the company will make in the U.S. market next year. Air time, according to the latest industry estimates, may cost upward of $7 million for the 60-second spot set in New Orleans' French Quarter. The ad will feature singer Usher as a high-styled man about town with swimsuit super model Kate Upton as the object of his desire, according to a Mercedes representative.
"If you're going to step into the Super Bowl, you've got to step up your game," Cannon said.
Cannon declined to reveal the amount of the company's 2013 ad budget. Mercedes spent more than $516 million on U.S. advertising in 2011 and that was up 1.6 percent through the first half of 2012, according to ad-tracking firm Kantar Media.
Cannon said the German automaker's Super Bowl marketing strategy began taking shape more than a year ago, before he became chief executive, while he was the company's marketing chief.
Mercedes already had ties to New Orleans through businessman Tom Benson, who owns a local Mercedes dealership and also owns the New Orleans Saints football team.
Benson helped attract charitable contributions from the automaker after Hurricane Katrina struck the city in 2005. He later worked with Mercedes on a deal to buy naming rights to the Louisiana Superdome.
Mercedes stamped its name on the football stadium in October 2011 after signing a 10-year deal for an undisclosed price that some reports placed above $100 million.
Cannon, who said he "quarterbacked" the decision to buy the naming rights, was at that point already deep into a long-term strategy for dealing with the aging population of Mercedes car buyers.
Mercedes last year held just over 17 percent of the U.S. luxury car market that encompasses nearly two dozen makes, according to industry research firm LMC Automotive. This year, it leads the segment with 245,910 sales through November.
Cannon said that while Mercedes customers are loyal to the brand and buy increasingly expensive models over time, indicators are that fewer entry-level buyers will be waiting in the wings in coming years.
Data from R.L. Polk & Co. show that the average age of U.S. luxury-car buyers rose by three years between 2007 and 2011 to 51, while the age of Mercedes buyers climbed from 49 to 52 during that period.
While the company sold more than 260,000 cars in 2011 -- up some 30 percent from 10 years earlier -- Cannon said it needs to find ways to bring younger buyers into the fold to replenish the brand. Noting that the average transaction price for Mercedes vehicles in the United States is $56,000, he said: "That is not a price point that a lot of younger buyers can afford."
The strategy for getting potential buyers excited about the car began while the CLA was still in development, and the Super Bowl appeared to offer a singular opportunity to reach potential CLA buyers as well as affluent older consumers.

My site was design by a developer in 2005.It was moved to a new host in 2011.Things seemed to be working OK.When i last checked the images were not opening properlyplease see http://www.barrydaly.com.au/main.htmlWhat has happened and how can I fix?Thanks,Barry
Have you checked that the full-size images are still there on the server?
Yes, they all seem to be there?
I can't see that anything is missing. What's wrong?
When thumbnails are clicked the image is no longer opening up?http://www.barrydaly.com.au/main.html
Has any maintenance work of any kind been done on the server around the time the problem started?
Is there are new errors appearing in any error logs since around the time the problem started?
Not sure what you mean by that. If I click on the images, I get a larger version for each image, instantly, so it seems to be working fine for me. It seems this is all done with Flash, though, which isn't the best way to do things these days.
No go for me? Just checked on my mobile phone and I can only open the landing page nothing else?
Done in 2005 flash was the thing - don't want to update as I do other photography now - would like to keep that site up though.
No maintenance done it was just moved and left?
Some devices, like the iPhone/iPad, don't recognize Flash at all, which is another nail in the coffin for Flash. There are nice alternatives to Flash that are native to the browser, so you don't have to reply on plugins.
But it's not just my phone PC also, problems?

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) -- The standoff between police and a gunman accused of holding a kindergartner hostage in an underground bunker dragged into a fourth day on Friday, as authorities sought to continue delicate conversations with the man through a pipe and worked to safely end the tense situation.
The gunman shot a school bus driver to death Tuesday, grabbed a 5-year-old boy off the bus and slipped into an underground bunker on his property in rural Alabama, police said. There were signs the standoff could go on for some time: the shelter has electricity, food, TV, and police have delivered the boy's medication through a 4-inch-wide ventilation pipe leading to the bunker.
Hostage negotiators have used the pipe to talk to the gunman, identified by neighbors as Jimmy Lee Dykes, but investigators have been tightlipped about their conversations.
Former FBI hostage negotiator Clint Van Zandt said authorities at the scene shouldn't rush to resolve the standoff as long as they are confident that the boy is unharmed. He cautioned against any drastic measures, such as cutting the electricity or putting sleep gas inside the bunker because it could agitate Dykes.
The negotiator should try to ease Dykes' anxieties over what will happen when the standoff ends, and refer to both the boy and Dykes by their first names to humanize them, he said.
"I want to give him a reason to come out," Van Zandt said, "and my reason is, 'You didn't mean that to happen. It was unintentional. It could have happened to anyone. It was an accident. People have accidents, Jimmy Lee. It's not that big a thing. You and I can work that out.'"
The shelter is about 4 feet underground, with about 6-by-8 feet of floor space and the PVC pipe that negotiators are speaking through, said James Arrington, police chief of the neighboring town of Pinckard.
"He will have to give up sooner or later because (authorities) are not leaving," Arrington said. "It's pretty small, but he's been known to stay in there eight days."
Midland City Mayor Virgil Skipper said he has been briefed by law enforcement agents and has visited with the boy's parents.
"He's crying for his parents," he said. "They are holding up good. They are praying and asking all of us to pray with them."
The normally quiet red clay road leading to the bunker was teemed Friday with more than a dozen police cars and trucks, a fire truck, a helicopter, officers from multiple agencies and news media near Midland City, population 2,300.
Police vehicles have come and gone steadily for hours from the command post, a small church taken over for that use
Dykes was known around the neighborhood as a menacing figure who neighbors said once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm.
The chief confirmed that Dykes held anti-government views, as described by multiple neighbors: "He's against the government -- starting with Obama on down."

Dissolution notices: What has changed?
By JOSHUA J. STRICKLAND
Joshua J. Strickland
Mr. Strickland
Dworken & Bernstein
in 2010 and splits his practice between the firm's business and commercial litigation department, business transactional department, and his practice in Federal Indian law.
A few months ago the Ohio legislature passed a number of changes to the corporation section of the Revised Code. Some of these changes were merely clean up; however, some made a decidedly pro-business change to the code. Most notably a procedure for barring certain creditor's claims was established provided the corporation provides certain notice to its creditors.
Formerly a dissolved corporation had to publish a notice of its dissolution in the local newspaper once a week for two successive weeks on the same day and to give notice of the dissolution personally or by mail to all known creditors of the dissolved corporation.
Now a written notice must be made by certified mail to all known creditors and those who may have a claim against the corporation. The notice must contain information about the claim, provide the address to which a person must send in their claim, and indicate that the claim will be barred if the corporation does not receive the person's claim by a set deadline. The corporation must post the creditor's notice on its website, if any, and must provide a copy of the notice to the Ohio secretary of state. If a corporation provides the notice and a claim is not timely made then the creditor's claim is barred by the statute. The corporation must still undertake the newspaper publication requirement if dissolved before May 4, 2017.
Those businesses selling to other corporations would be wise to train their staff to look for these types of notices and create procedures for submitting claims in a timely manner. While these new provisions do not appear to be widely in use, it is simply a matter of time before your business receives such a notice. Adequate preparation now may avoid having your claims barred in the future.

In the final airport category, Greenville/Spartanburg in South Carolina (which handled 1.26 million passengers in 2010) has benefited massively from the decision by Southwest to start services at the airport in mid-March of this year. The introduction of five routes operated at least daily has helped the airport grow its monthly seat capacity year-on-year by almost 40%.
Runner-up Orlando Sanford has seen a 20% increase in October seat capacity primarily thanks to Allegiant Air's decision to relocate its Orlando services from Orlando International to Orlando Sanford.

As a plus size blogger, there are a many things I hear from readers. One of the things that irritates me the most is when I'm being told that I support obesity because I write about plus size fashion. Now, let's get one thing straight, that is the most idiotic thing someone can say to me. I support dressing the body you have now…regardless of shape or size. No matter what you look like, you still need to wear clothes!
And in an ironic twist…I was recently invited to a Nike soccer event and was reminded of how out of shape I am. No matter how confident I am in my body, if I want to live a long life I need to change my lifestyle. I haven't worked out in almost a year. During the soccer event, we were trying out the equipment and I couldn't even handle the warm-up! The warm-up!
If you didn't know I was very athletic in high school. I played volleyball, softball, and soccer. And when I was in the military, I loved running. Then the back problems started and so did the weight gain.
Today, this is the heaviest I've ever been and normally I wouldn't care, but I can't even walk up a few flight of stairs without being winded. Oh and did I mention I have high cholesterol? Yeah…that's not good.
This Nike event really opened my eyes. I was so angry at myself, because I couldn't go out and finish the drills. It was very frustrating.
So, why am I telling you all this? Because, I'm on a journey to a healthier lifestyle and I plan on sharing it with you. NO I'm not trying to lose 100 lbs and fit into a size 6. I just want to be able to run again without feeling like I'm going to pass out.
Yes, I'm afraid I'm going to lose too much weight. But, I feel like I know my body well enough. I'm going to work on lowering my cholesterol, keeping my curves, and go back to running. I know it's not going to be easy, and I won't get the support from all of you, but that's OK. This next part of the journey is for me and my future.

School Bus ScrambleLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Help! It's Miss Appleday's first day of school, and she has to make sure all her first graders get on the right buses and go home with the right backpacks. Most of her students are safely on their buses, but she still has four students to send on their way. Can you help Miss Appleday remember the students' first and last names, which backpack to give each child, and which school bus will take each child home?
First names: Joaquin, Ray, Reiko, Shantel,
Last names: Diamond, Galvez, Johnson, Rivero
The buses are labelled by color: Green, Grey, Magenta, Red
Backpacks: Hello Kitty, Powerpuff Girls, Power Rangers, Scooby-Doo
1. Reiko loves her Hello Kitty backpack which was a birthday gift from her grandma. She remembers which bus color is hers because it starts with the same letter as her last name.
2. Two students have alliterative first and last names.
3. The boy who loves Power Rangers does not take the Grey Bus.
4. Ray moved over the summer and doesn't take the Red Bus anymore. He's grumpy today because he has to use his older sister's "girly" backpack (he wrecked his own yesterday playing tug-of-war with the dog).
5. Young Mr. Johnson rides the Green Bus to school.
6. The Scooby-Doo backpack was left on the Red Bus this morning. Luckily, the bus driver found it and brought it into the school.
AnswerJoaquin Johnson takes the Green Bus and carries a Power Rangers backpack.
Ray Rivero rides the Magenta Bus and is grumpy about carrying his sister's hand-me-down Powerpuff Girls backpack.
Reiko Galvez remembers that she rides the Grey Bus and loves her Hello Kitty backpack.
Shantel Diamond left her Scooby-Doo backpack on the Red Bus this morning.

Some thoughts:
1) I saw Artem Anisimov after the game. He was standing, talking to one of the Thrashees, no boot, no crutches, no cane. I didn't see if he was limping, but I imagine he was. He didn't sound terribly worried. That doesn't mean that it's good or bad or whatever.
2) Early in the game, I mentioned in the pressbox that the golden child, Stepan, had flattened out lately. Then he was benched in the third. I agree with Tortorella on this. But I also like that Tortorella isn't going to give up on him, just monitor him and hang in there with him, accepting the bad with the good. I think he'll be all right. But I wouldn't set the bar too high. Maybe we all got a little cuckoo over his preseason and his Opening Night hat.
3) Boy, the defense struggled in this one. I think it was the fourth Atlanta goal when all five Rangers skaters were mesmerized by the puck, all watching it and doing nothing, covering nobody. So unlike what we'd seen the previous three games.
4) It's not an excuse, but the Garden ice on this warm, humid day was as bad as I've seen it in a while. Looked a bit like the chicken dumpling soup they served in the pressroom
5) Saw Adam Graves after the game, with a very sick little girl in a wheelchair. That's aa surprise, huh? It makes me smile any time I see Adam. It makes me smile even longer and wider when he's doing another of his zillion good deeds.
6) Byfuglien=monster.
7) Is there anything better than these MSG/Fuse cross-promotion things? Ugh.
8) That penalty on Del Zotto … I don't know. The guys chips it past him. If Del Zotto doesn't take the body on him, he's beaten and if he doesn't do that regularly, he's in Hartford with Redden (or Reddened as we like to say). Just another one of those pansification rules. To me, it's a clean hip check on the guy who just played the puck. WTB?
9) Rozsival wasn't great, but he was probably the best defenseman. He played that 2-on-1 as well as it could be played, taking away the pass, forcing the shot … and Biron cheated off the post and got beat. It was a great shot, but …
10) I've said that I think the Rangers are new and improved. But we're starting to see that that's true for a lot of the lower echelon teams in the Least this year. Maybe we won't be calling it the Least by the end of the year. Maybe the Rangers will have to be a lot more than a few points better to make the playoffs this year.
11) Avery was terrific along the wall in the offensive zone. But again he made a few horrible plays in the neutral zone and defensive zone. He wasn't alone, so I don't want to sound like I'm picking on him.
12) Finally, how the byfuglien does the goalie get run over with Boogaard on the ice? I'm not saying Boogaard should go ballistic and get an instigator and a misconduct, or should bury the guy through the net and the backboards and get suspended. But you'd think that for $1.65M, and at his size and ability, that he might at least pay the guy a visit, you know, get in his mug with a few threatening words. Do something. Something! Because if he's doing nothing there, why the byfuglien is he getting a uniform?
I'm going to be completely out of commission today. So youse guys can help out and troll the other sites and keep us up to date if and when the Rangers announce the results of Anisimov's MRI, or if and when they call up some player(s) from Redden-ville. Thanks.

University of Wisconsin Stout | Wisconsin's Polytechnic University
Chancellor's Office
At UW-Stout, Wisconsin's Polytechnic University, we are inspiring innovation.
At UW-Stout, Wisconsin's Polytechnic University, we are inspiring innovation.
Robert M. Meyer, president of Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College, has been named the next chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents today approved Meyer's appointment, following the recommendation made by a selection committee. Meyer begins Aug. 16, 2014.
Chancellor Charles W. Sorensen has announced he is retiring Aug. 15 after 26 years at UW-Stout. Meyer will be the seventh chancellor in the history of UW-Stout.
"I plan a fast start as chancellor, drawing upon my experiences and relationships developed as a UW-Stout graduate, faculty member and leader," Meyer said. "UW-Stout's impressive faculty and staff are devoted to student learning and maintaining the great success its graduates have in the workplace: a 97 percent employment rate.
"I am absolutely thrilled to be able to work with students, faculty and staff to build upon the institution's mission as Wisconsin's Polytechnic University."
Meyer joined Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College in Shell Lake, Wis., in 2008. He serves as the college's chief executive officer, providing leadership and vision to the college, overseeing all aspects of its operations. He also facilitates strategic planning and outcomes, and aligns divisional plans and WITC's $78-million budget to the strategic plan. In his time at WITC, Meyer expanded partnerships with K-12 districts, technical colleges, and universities, and increased WITC Foundation holdings over 50 percent. During his tenure, WITC was recognized three times among the top 10 of Washington Monthly Magazine's national rankings of two-year colleges.
Meyer brings nearly three decades of experience with UW-Stout to his new position. In addition to time on campus as a student, Meyer spent 25 years at UW-Stout in various professional roles, including assistant to the chancellor for state and federal relations; dean of the College of Technology, Engineering and Management; associate dean of outreach; and director of the Stout Technology Transfer Institute.
"Dr. Meyer is an established leader with an extensive knowledge of Wisconsin and a long-time affinity with UW-Stout. He understands its mission, challenges and potential, and how higher education must evolve to meet the needs of those it serves," said UW System President Ray Cross. "He has a distinguished record of successful service and senior-level leadership, and I am confident he is well prepared to lead UW-Stout to a bright future. "
Meyer holds a Ph.D. in industrial engineering from the University of Minnesota. He earned a Master's in management technology and a B.S. in industrial education, both at UW-Stout.
"It will be a privilege and an honor to serve as UW-Stout's next chancellor," Meyer added. "Since it was founded by James Huff Stout in 1891, the university has enjoyed a rich history. It is renowned for its applied programs and strong ties with employers that enable graduates to go out in the world with such success."
"This is an exciting time for UW-Stout. Dr. Meyer brings an impressive portfolio of scholarship and leadership, and just as importantly, a tremendous commitment to the polytechnic mission of the university," said Petre (Nelu) Ghenciu, associate professor of mathematics, who chaired the 21-member campus search and screen committee. "I am confident that our new chancellor will provide the right mix of vision, people skills and collaboration that will be needed to lead UW-Stout now and in the future. I look forward to working with him to accomplish the goals that will be set forth in the weeks and months to come."
"We were very impressed with Dr. Meyer as an experienced educational leader who understands what it takes to help students succeed in college," said Regent Drew Petersen of Madison, chair of the Board of Regents committee that interviewed all of the finalists with Cross. "UW-Stout is about to begin a new chapter in its long and storied history. Dr. Meyer is a well-established scholar whose leadership and vision complement the legacy of Chancellor Sorensen. He will be a great asset to the university, the UW System and the state."
Other members of the special Regent committee included Margaret Farrow (Pewaukee), Tim Higgins (Appleton), and Edmund Manydeeds (Eau Claire).
In line with market-based compensation guidelines approved by the Board of Regents last October, Meyer will earn $230,000 as chancellor.

The Hunter Valley is a great place to start when talking about Semillon. The region has embraced the white wine variety, producing mostly dry styles, famous for their capacity to age well, gaining in richness and complexity. Barossa Semillons are generally richer and fuller, while Western Australian Semillons are typically lean and grassy. When selecting a youthful Semillon from the Wine Selectors range, look for lime, lemon, green apple, talc and zesty acid characteristics. More mature examples will display honey, toast, hazelnut and almond flavours.
Check out Chardonnay or Verdelho for an alternative white wine variety.

The actor reveals that he and his longtime girlfriend love to watch movies together a lot and try as well as analyze the films for acting tips.
Date night for Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens is hard work - the "High School Musical" sweethearts study the films they watch for acting tips. The pair has been dating since they met on the set of the Disney show in 2005 and they love nothing more than heading out to the movies.
But the young stars often end up critiquing the pictures afterward. Efron says, "Every time you go you can pick away at what you like. Me and Vanessa go to the movies a lot and when we're done we try and analyze the movie - what we liked about it. That way you're actively watching it."
"I hate it when people go, 'It was good' (or) 'I hated it'. (I like to) figure out what was new about it, what was innovative, what we had seen before, what was redundant... you also look at the other actors."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican Sen. Bob Corker is spending a lot of time talking to Democrats.
The freshman lawmaker from Tennessee unveiled his own 10-year, $4.5 trillion solution for averting the end-of-year combination of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts. He spoke briefly last week with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (GYT'-nur).
Corker also has spoken with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton about Libya and other issues. Corker is a senior member of the Foreign Relations Committee and is poised to become its top Republican next year. He'll have a major say on President Barack Obama's choice to succeed Clinton -- possibly the divisive pick of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.
In the Senate's new world order of a smaller Republican minority, the 60-year-old Corker is certain to play an outsized role.

In recent months I've heard numerous local executives describe improving conditions within their business and industry – only to have these same leaders then temper what otherwise would seem like fast-growth numbers with a curious dose of somberness.
Some of this reserve is understandable. A tough, close presidential election campaign weighed on economic thinking. Global economic issues raise questions. The whatever-you-want-to-call-it fiscal debate in Washington doesn't build confidence.
Maybe the sedate nature is a dash of humility. It's tough to celebrate business success when many people and firms are still suffering in the post-recession era.
Basically, my gripe is that I've never heard so much angst in chats detailing noteworthy expansions.
Ponder two high-profile projections about what's up with the local job market. The collective opinion is that in this year and next, Orange County will produce new jobs at a rate that is triple the average employment creation pace the county has witnessed in the previous 20 years.
Yes, triple!
So, how are economists from Chapman and Cal State Fullerton describing this seeming hiring boom?
"Anemic," says Esmael Adibi, head of Chapman's forecasts. His school projects Orange County employers will add 25,000 jobs this year and 26,000 in 2013.
"Very cautious buildup," says Anil Puri, the business school dean at Fullerton. A revised Cal State Fullerton forecast sees 17,200 local jobs added in 2012 and 42,900 next year.
My trusty spreadsheet tells me that this pair of outlooks, when averaged, is a consensus view of 55,500 new local jobs in two years. Compare that with 1990 through 2011, when Orange County averaged adding jobs at a pace equal to 18,600 extra positions every two years.
The two economists explain their skepticism by saying this recent local hiring pace is not as robust as it should be coming out of a harsh recession.
Puri notes that previous hiring sprees – the late 1990s and the middle of past decade, notably – were far brisker than current employment growth. He says, though, that both of those booms were supported, in part, by unsustainable hiring bursts – the dot-com mania of the late '90s and the wild mortgage businesses of the past decade.
Puri thinks one emotional challenge for the economy is adjusting to what many call a "new normal" – where modest growth in many sectors becomes the norm.
Adibi worries that many of the jobs being added to the Orange County workforce in this recent recovery are concentrated in industries – such as retail, restaurants and tourism – that traditionally pay lower salaries.
And Adibi says Chapman's job-gains forecast relies heavily on at least a partial cure to the so-called fiscal cliff. If national political leaders cannot reach a budgetary compromise by year's end, Adibi says the resulting higher taxes and slashed federal spending will harm the economy – here and nationwide.
Adibi also notes that since 1990, the hiring pace of Orange County and California has trailed the nation as a whole.
"That's alarming," Adibi said. "It's time for us to do better."
Still, I'm puzzled. How much can one ask of Orange County employers in this evolving economy than to grow at three times the previous two decades' pace? It almost seems that we're worrying ourselves right out of a more potential recovery.
Even more curious is where worry seems to be greatest – among business leaders and analysts, not among consumers.
Numerous surveys of shopper psyche find this brand of optimism as high as it's been since the Great Recession ended. Meanwhile, various surveys of CEO thinking and consensus outlooks of economists continue to focus on an odd collection of risks.
Adibi says the public is perhaps looking backward, drawing its optimism from signs of improved employment, real estate and other consumer-centric trends. Skittish business leaders, he notes, are "being more forward-looking."
Meanwhile, Puri says it is hard to change a gloomy psychological mindset – especially in the top corporate offices where a leader's job is on the line with every economic hiccup. That's where tough calls – like hiring – are made.
"They've been through four years of terrible times," says Puri of CEOs. "They want to see proof."
Dare I repeat myself: Isn't job growth at triple the historic pace enough proof?

- News From the Field
- Native Girls Are Being Exploited and Destroyed at an Alarming Rate
Native Girls Are Being Exploited and Destroyed at an Alarming Rate
By Mary Annette Pember
Mary G. was born from the boats. Her children were born from the boats too, all fathered through her liaisons with male customers. She has never known anything else. Like generations of Native girls and women before her, Mary and her family are inextricably tied to prostitution in the great port city of Duluth, Minnesota. Long before the term sex trafficking entered the public lexicon and began appearing in headlines, Native women like Mary and her mother Ruthie were lured into prostitution. Largely driven by poverty and homelessness as well as an underlying racism that sanctioned the sexual degradation of Native women, generations of them have sold themselves to survive.
For years the citizens of Duluth, as in so many other cities, looked the other way at the disreputable exchanges between prostitutes and seamen. They were discounted as part of the cities rough-and-tumble harbor culture and reputation. And prostitution, the world's oldest profession, was seen as a benign vice, a victimless crime, an example of "boys being boys."
Like most Native women around the Great Lakes, I have heard the shameful term boat whore whispered since I was a child. We all knew about women who disappeared to "work the boats" and more important, we knew it was not a topic for discussion. Perhaps internalizing the inexplicable collective shame of being Native women in white America, we cringed when hearing about boat whores, fearful that their experience and reputation might somehow infect us, too. The story of the boat whore has been like a queer kind of natural disaster that visits destruction on the powerless yet holds them responsible.
Until now.
Advocates such as Melissa Farley, founder of Prostitution Research & Education, maintain that prostitution and the sex industry create a demand for women that is being fulfilled by sex traffickers. According to Farley, there is little difference between sex trafficking and prostitution. Prostitution is typically depicted as an activity of choice while sex trafficking involves force and coercion for the participation of innocent girls in the sex trade.

A SECOND group of war veterans have been given the freedom of a Pendle town at a civic ceremony.
Earby Town Council honoured seven men and women at the event in New Road Community Centre on Saturday evening.
In June this year, 23 other veterans were also rec-ognised for their efforts in the Second World War.
The seven recipients, from Earby, Kelbrook and Salter-forth, were traced after organisers appealed for families of those who missed out first time round to come forward.
Marie Keating (née Bellamy), Lilian Bradley, Vera Bradwell (née Cant), Clive Foster, Dennis Peachey, Reginald Russell and Edwin Arthur Watson were those decorated.
Each person was awarded a silver salver, a letter from the Queen and the Freedom of Earby, a purely cere-monial title given to those who have represented the town in some exceptional capacity. The project was the brainchild of town councillors James Spence, himself a Gulf War veteran, and Vera Cocker, who wanted to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee with lasting recognition for ex-service people from the area.
It was an event tinged with sadness, however, as chairman of the town council, Coun Chris Tennant, told of the deaths of three of the award's previous recipients.
Jack Eastwood and Jim Wiseman, both 91 and William Walton, 93, have all passed away since June's event.
Accepting her award, Mrs Keating, who served in the Signals Division of the Women's Auxiliary Corps, said: "I was proud and honoured to have served in the Army and it is wonderful to pick up this award."
Martin Foster accepted an award on behalf of his father Clive, who served in the Royal Navy, Fleet Air Arms, but now lives in Lockerbie in Scotland.
Mr Foster said: "I'm going up to see him in tomorrow and I know he's really proud to be receiving this.
Around 80 people attended the ceremony and were treated to a per-formance from Earby Brass Band and refreshments provided by Earby Develop-ment Group.

Blue Jays win in 11th after Davis' clutch throw
Outfielder nails runner at home to keep O's from winning in 10th
BALTIMORE -- The Blue Jays appeared on the verge of another heartbreaking loss Wednesday afternoon until Rajai Davis stepped in to save the day.
Toronto's outfielder came up with one of the biggest plays of the year on a game-saving throw in the bottom of the 10th inning to help his club avoid a sweep in Baltimore.
Davis threw a strike from left field to keep the game going, and an inning later Maicer Izturis drew a bases-loaded walk as the Blue Jays barely escape with a 6-5 victory over the Orioles at Camden Yards.
"It would have been a tough game to lose, no question about it," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, whose team led 5-2 earlier in the game. "It would have been easy to shut it down and quit competing. But they hung in there, we got a big, big win and we needed it."
The dramatic play at home came just a couple of minutes after the Blue Jays appeared headed for a disaster. With one out and one on, Baltimore's Adam Jones hit a high popup to right field that appeared as though it would be out No. 2.
Jose Bautista initially was able to track it, but eventually lost the ball in the sky. He spotted it again at the last moment but was unable to make a diving catch, and as a result the potential game-winning run moved into scoring position.
Two batters later, J.J. Hardy hit a two-out single that one-hopped into left field. Davis charged the ball, fielded it cleanly and then threw a strike on the fly to catcher J.P. Arencibia. The ball beat Baltimore's Manny Machado to the plate by a couple of feet and Arencibia applied the tag to keep the game going and give the Blue Jays renewed hope.
Every outfielder has been through a similar situation as Bautista, and Davis was just relieved after the game that he was able to pick up his teammate when he needed it the most.
"That's what it takes," Davis said. "It takes all of us out there on the field, it takes every one of us pitching [in] to help us win games. We have to pick each other up whenever that happens, and I'm just fortunate enough to get that opportunity."
The Blue Jays capitalized on Davis' throw in the following inning. Arencibia and Munenori Kawasaki started the rally with a pair of two-out singles before third baseman Brett Lawrie was hit by a fastball from Orioles closer Jim Johnson to load the bases.
Johnson's erratic control then became even more apparent during the next at-bat when he walked the light-hitting Maicer Izturis on four consecutive pitches that weren't even close to the strike zone.
It was a rare misstep by Johnson, who entered the game having not surrendered an earned run in 11 innings this year. He also had walked just three batters this season and 15 in 68 2/3 innings last season.
"I just had a hard time throwing a strike," Johnson said as the Orioles' streak of consecutive victories in extra-inning games was snapped at 17. "Kind of lost feel, and obviously that's a terrible way to lose a game."
Toronto's offense broke out of its prolonged slump for at least one game after receiving homers from Arencibia, Davis, Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion through the first six innings.
Arencibia's two-run shot in the second was a continuation of what has been a hot start to his season. While most of the Blue Jays' lineup has struggled, it has been Arencibia carrying the bulk of the load, at least when it comes to power. He leads the American League with eight home runs while also recording 15 RBIs and 14 extra-base hits in 21 games.
Right-hander Josh Stinson was charged with all five runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three. It marked just the fourth time in the past 12 games the Blue Jays have managed to score more than three runs.
During that same stretch, the club has been plagued by a series of defensive miscues, and while the win could help right the ship, Arencibia wasn't about to get too carried away during the aftermath.
"We keep on saying how much a win can do for us, but I think we have to clean up our game," Arencibia said. "There have been some defensive miscues. The pitching threw great this series and we didn't really back them up with a ton of runs, except for today.
"Sometimes you have to look at yourself in the mirror and say, 'Hey, we have to fix some things and get that done.'"
The early run production initially made it appear as though the Blue Jays were headed toward an easy victory. Right-hander Brandon Morrow carried a 5-2 lead into the seventh before he allowed two of the first three batters he faced to reach base.
Left-hander Aaron Loup entered and promptly surrendered a pair of hits, with the big blow coming on a two-strike triple by Machado that tied the game at 5.
That put the club dangerously close to dropping six games below .500 on the eve of a four-game series in New York against the Yankees. But instead the win was salvaged by a combination of Davis' throw and increased patience at the plate.
The Blue Jays now hope that it also represents a reversal of fortune and a sign of things to come.
"That shows the guys in here aren't quitting," Morrow said. "They had a lot of momentum going into the end of the game after tying it in the seventh. We came up with a couple of really good defensive plays. ... They played hard all game and it paid off."

Did you know?
South Africa covers only 2% of the world's land surface, but is home to 8% of the planet's birdlife.
The Soutpan Birding Route in the Tswaing Crater Nature Reserve lies just 40km north of Pretoria. Because of its variety of habitats, it's birding heaven with over 300 species of birdlife.
The crater, the result of a huge meteor impact millions of years ago, lies in the middle of the nature reserve and is easily accessible. But you're here for the birds, not the geology, so get your binoculars ready and start spotting.
Always keep your eyes open for raptors, because the Soutpan Birding Route is known for them. There's a breeding pair of African hawk-eagles, while gabar goshawks and little sparrowhawks dart between the trees. As owls are nocturnal, you probably won't see the barn owl and the southern white-faced scops-owl, but you may well hear the tiny pearl-spotted owlet's rising call during the day.
Begin your birding around the offices and museum, and look out for the southern black tit in the trees, and the brightly coloured crested barbet. Groundscraper thrushes criss-cross the ground looking for insects, and listen for the song of the white-browed robin-chat and the clattering call of the crested francolin.
Off to the river now, and, if you're lucky, you may see one of South Africa's most brilliantly coloured and striking birds – the crimson-breasted shrike. You may also hear the 'victor, victor' call of the greater honeyguide. Look out too for an assortment of waxbills – the blue, common and violet-eared.
On the river banks watch out for bird parties – you could spot anything from a long-billed crombec or striped cuckoo, to a spotted flycatcher. Remember though that cuckoos are here only in the summer.
On the river itself you can find herons, crakes and, in the swampy areas, that most elusive and sought-after avian of all birders – the red-chested flufftail.

Too bad my/our iPhones last 3 hours with iCloud integration throughout the day.
Well Not that i'm a Fan of faster since it's fast enough for me..I'd like to see a refreshed state of iTunes although the cloud setting are A nice touch..i still Do it all from my iPhone & iPad..so that's not a big Deal..BUT...content discovery is all i'm about..start getting some older shows that i am unable to get..nor am i will go On Hulu for them because Hulu & Netflix don't have the specific shows i want. BUT..the mention of iOS6..makes me wonder what the Next Gen iPhone will have. Could it have iOS 6? i doubt it since this is the first i've heard about it. Shame i don't have connections like these to find out what iOS6 MIGHT look like.
You know, for a go-to news site, grammar really should be something that is double-checked when posting articles. Poor grammar really makes a source less credible.
I would love a massive UI update for iTunes. It just doesn't mesh (visually) with iOS, OS X, or even Windows. It's ugly, its boring, it's been the same since the beginning of time. It's really time for a refresh, especially with Mountain Lion on the horizon.
iTunes gets better with every release. Can't be said of most music engines these days. I can't wait to see what is done. I too think iTunes needs a "fresh look" and feel. Nothing really wrong with the current setup..its just the competition is copying what is existing and now its time for Apple to set the bar again..just saying :]
Honestly who cares about grammar and spelling? if my phone doesn't catch it I'm not going to bother. That's what technology is for!
Drag and drop apps. I don't want any of this syncing and transferring purchases ********. I use ********** to install apps that I pay for, just because it's infinitely easier. Why do I need all of my apps on my Mac and my iPod/Pad?!

Marathon Maniac #957
9.1 miles for me today in 31 degrees.
Looks like the warm up will finally get here this weekend....
Happy Thursday!
ETA - ran farther than planned.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
New skirt in town
7.5 miles for me, with 4 at marathon pace. Feeling pretty terrific, and this will be my last hard-ish run before Marathon Monday. From here on in, I will spend all of my time comparing long-range weather forecasts...
NO MO MELANOMA! Help me run 26.2 miles and raise $5000 for the Melanoma Foundation of NE. Visit this page to learn more: http://tinyurl.com/NO-MO-MELANOMA
7.5 miles for me too, with 5 miles at what is probably a little faster than MP. (Used to be MP, but isn't now.) Not unseasonably cold here. 73° at 5:15 AM.
"Some are the strong, silent type. You can't put your finger on exactly what it is they bring to the table until you run without them and then you realize that their steadiness fills a hole that leaks energy in their absence." - Kristin Armstrong
Mornin' Holly and Robin, and those yet to post.
It's good to have a warm-up to look forward to, Holly! We'll go up a few degrees tomorrow, and then dip back down again for the weekend.
I'm very glad that you're feeling good with your running, Robin! Isn't it a bit early to start looking at the weather for race day? Whatever the forecast is, you know it'll change.
Speaking of weather, there sure was a lot of talk about it (sexy and otherwise and even with photos) on yesterday's daily.
Speaking of talking, I never post anything anywhere on the internet that I wouldn't want to be available for public consumption. There are just too many ways for folks to find their way into places you might think are at least semi-private.
Speaking of posting anything, it's nice that we can mix running with recipes, gardening, work stuff and family stuff here, and even leave the running (or walking) out sometimes without fear of fines. I like that we are a more well-rounded community.
Speaking of running, I did a little of that this morning: 4.5 total miles at 4:20 with 30F temps, clear skies, and a 'slap-in-the-face' breeze. I didn't want to go hard today, so I thought I'd mix it up. So I warmed-up and racewalked the 1st mile, ran the 2nd, racewalked easy for 3 and 4, and then pedaled the metal for the last half. The running was easy, but I was surprised that it took me a while to get back to my racewalking rhythm after the run: everything felt out-of-kilter and awkward. But I eventually got it back, and cruised the rest of the way home.
Have a thrilling Thursday!
Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.
Jay - with all that "speaking" you would be a natural in a Toastmasters club.
5.3 miles for me. 25° here.
I'd like to do a little cleaning up and mulching outside over the weekend. Get it done before things start growing and getting in the way. But it is my least favorite job around the house so I may find some good excuses to procrastinate.
Big software install tonight. I'm about as ready as I can be. So today may be kind of easy just making sure there are no loose ends.
Last year at work when we got new owners was a real roller coaster ride. High hopes at first, then complete despair but things are going pretty good now. In the computer area, we've hired some really good quality people and continue to interview more. One thing that has helped has been my decision to quit complaining (at work) so much. It makes work more enjoyable (for everyone.)
mta - My comment about complaining at work was in no way triggered by anyone else's comments here on the forum. When I reread my post I was worried that it would be taken as a backhanded criticism of the recent talk of what is appropriate to post on line. It was strictly about me. People where I work were getting into a habit of complaining about every little thing, every time we got together. I decided to stop joining in and try to push the discussion in the opposite direction when possible. It is out of character for me to be the "mature one" but once in a while I like to step out of my comfort zone.
And so it goes
Running later this afternoon - when it warms up. Lots of walking on tap with Henry's DD and GS. last night my DS, DIL &GD came over so we had a wonderful gathering.
Jay - thanks for the recipe. Henry's DD is gluten-free, so I made the cookies yesterday morning and they were eaten!
I also agree about limiting posting - I never posted about my impending retirement on here, because i didn't want it public until I was ready.
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Mr. Chip & Mizz Rizzo
I'd like to do a little cleaning up and mulching outside over the weekend. Get it done before things start growing and getting in the way. But it is my least favorite job around the house so I may find some good excuses to procrastinate.
Me too Dave, but we still have some snow piles over on this side of the state!! :-( My pond did finally thaw enough that I could see if the Koi survived. I lost one adult and one baby, I think that is okay considering the hard winter.
Enke - you are a saint!! Rizzo got into my dove dark chocolates a couple of months ago. Boy was she super hyper for a while!
Out for 3 miles this morning. I was only going to take Brinkley, but Rizzo was acting spastic so I took on the challenge of 2 dogs. It really wasn't all that bad and we only walked a couple of times. I'm ready for spring weather though - 22° on April 4 is a bit crazy!!
"My sunshine doesn't come from the skies,It comes from the love in my dog's eyes."

Jay, that will be one dollar, for no other reason than that I have the power!
3.3 brisk today. Going to race a fiveK on Saturday and then that will be it on hard work. All low mileage though from here to Boston. Spareribs
I, too, remember someone being annoyed about anything non-running related over at CR, but can't recall who it was now either. I'm sure that person really disliked me since I had a habit of starting stupid topic conversations about non-related things. I think I recall that person saying something to the effect of not wanting to post there much anymore because there was too much chatter about other stuff and he was only interested in talking about running/training and didn't want to weed through all the superfluous banter.
no running for me today. having some deep tissue work done on my legs in about an hour, then leaving work early for my sons track meet. hopefully the rain we are getting today will lighten up some, but at least it's mild out. could be worse.
have a great day everyone - with all your running related and non-running related endeavors!
Jay, that will be one dollar, for no other reason than that I have the power!
Yes you do Ribs, yes you do.
Quite the difference in temps again today. Holly running in 31° and Bill's 73° And then there's the Alaska group
I just have to say how much I enjoy reading what my "virtual family" is up to every day. Even when we complain about stuff, I always leave here with a smile on my face. And always words of support and encouragement. You guys are the best.
Good luck with the software install tonight Dave. Hope everything goes exactly the way it's supposed to.
45 minutes of pool running this morning (does anyone else find this incredibly boring???) and 30 minutes swimming laps. Getting that breast stroke refined quite nicely. Then, I stopped and bought a new pair of running shoes - Saucony Mirage 3's. The guy at our local running store said they were a good transition shoe from the more traditional to lighter. Has anyone else run in these?
In the 30's here with a north wind, so yeah, that's unseasonably cold. Hard to believe I'm drinking hot chocolate! 8 miles with the middle 4 tempo. My splits are consistent on that part but I was watching my watch so that was probably dumb.
"We are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good." Vince Lombardi
Hey everyone! I have just a quick minute but wanted to share our lovely forecast for today...
So yes, I'm about as sick of winter as anyone can be, I'd say. Should see temps in the 40's by Monday, but this weekend is supposed to be pretty chilly. I'm so ready for breakup!
So happy to see Mary posting again, and janie b good too! Mary, who is Rizzo? I assume one of your dogs, but I missed the story of how you got him. Still have B'Nellie?
Jlynne, pool running is incredibly boring, but oh-so-good-for-you! I haven't done it in ages but a recent bout of ankle/achilles soreness made me think I should go back to it. Luckily that soreness is fading with new shoes but there was a moment or two...
Speaking of fines (fudge anyone?) and pool running, where is tomwhite??
^5 to all you Boston runners! It's so close! I miss the excitement but not the long winter training prep. Robin, I'll really miss your party this year but sending happy vibes to everyone!
Oh... running... yeah, I ran on the TM on Monday (4.1) and outside on the road in newly un-screwed shoes (old shoes though), 9.2 or something like that. Cold headwind and uphill on the way out (8:30's), tailwind and downhill on the way back (8:05's about) so gotta love that. Last night was colder and still windy so 5.3 on the TM. And here I thought I'd be about done with my TM for the season.... Will run after work again tonight out on the roads. Brrrr!
So happy to see Mary posting again, and janie b good too! Mary, who is Rizzo? I assume one of your dogs, but I missed the story of how you got him. Still have B'Nellie?
Thanks Erika! I forgot how uplifting this place is hanging out with all of you! Rizzo is a new female that we got out of Arizona last October. She's quite the smart one and SO full of puppy mischief. We still have all the others, including B'Nellie. :-)
^ ditto!
3.1 miles for me today. first outside run since getting over upper respiratory/sinus infection. my lungs did not like the 40* weather!
goodness is its own reward; for more tangible outcomes, you need to try badness.
I, for one, am glad we talk about more than running. Running may have brought us together and it's neat to talk about our mutual interest /addiction. However, if all we talked about was our running, we'd just be running acquaintances. As it is we're running friends, maybe even a running family.
hopeful, it's neat you'll be having a grandkid in a couple of months.
Nice long runs for Mike, Tramps, and Twocat.
This morning, it was in the mid to high 20s and there was some wind. I got in 8 miles at a 10:51 pace.
Most afternoons, I go to the local coffee shop to sit around with a group of other old guys, swap lies, pick on each other, and complain about anything we can think of. The temperature is up to at least 50 and it's sunny. I just may check the air in my bike tires and pedal the mile into town.
A good day and good runs for all.

Print "Go West", this simple phrase captures a universal longing to leave behind the everyday and set out for parts unknown. 140 years ago, John B. Stetson needed that call and created the classic symbol of the west. Today, the un-bridled individuality of the American Spirit continues to be our constant inspiration. Stetson footwear reflects the same beliefs and traditions that made Stetson a part of America. John B. Stetson started the John B. Stetson Hat Company in 1865 with no mare than $100 and a passion for hats. He rented a small room, bought the tools he needed, bought $10 worth of fur and launched his dream. Soon after he started his humble company, the famous "Hat of the West" also known as "Boss of the Plains" was born. The rest of the Stetson Hat story is as we say "history." Stetson Hats became a trademark for quality, durability, innovation and beauty. Stetson Hats remain that way today! John B. Stetson had some very tough times in creating Stetson Hats. He was trained by his father who was a master hatter, but making it at the time was difficult. Being a hatter was not held in very high regard and they were seen as unreliable. John B. Stetson changed all that with his line of Stetson Hats. He built one of the most well-known and successful American businesses. Stetson Hats rely on innovation, quality and durability to keep them that way today.

Bob Edwards,
beloved radio show anchor, was reassigned from host of National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" to senior correspondent. Edwards hosted the popular early-morning show since its inception, 25 years ago. The move was widely criticized by listeners. NPR said his removal was part of an attempt to refresh its programming. In October, he made the leap to XM Satellite Radio, a pay service, hosting a one-hour morning program.

ANY Kendal RUFC hall of fame would be sure to include three names which will go down in club folklore – Billy Coxon, Duncan Green and Richard Harryman.
Between them, the front row trio have amassed close to 1100 appearances and scored 151 tries, with any retirement plans shelved for the foreseeable future.
Loose-head prop Coxon (431 appearances), hooker Green (268) and tight-head prop Richard Harryman (379) have done battle side by side for the last decade.
Back in 2003, Harryman's return to Mint Bridge from a short spell at National One side Wakefield coincided with an increased exposure to first-team action for Green.
And while there are not many certainties in life, former captain Coxon in a black and amber shirt is one – omnipresent for the best part of two decades.
At one stage or another Director of Rugby Steve Whitehead has played alongside the much-heralded triumvirate and he is in no doubt of their value to the club's history as well as its future.
"I don't think we have had the like before and it will be a very long time before we see the like again," he said.
"All three are similar in nature, dedicated to what they do and don't make a fuss. They just go about their work.
"They are known way beyond the county for their ability and they do what they do for the good of the club and team rather than their own ends.
"All three play for the right reasons. They have made sacrifices and will continue to do so and are the sort of guys that put a lot more in than they take out.
"There is more knowledge in that front row than anywhere else and to be able to rely on them, especially when the chips are down, is a nice position to be in.
"You don't have to tell them much, they know when to turn it on and when we need a big scrum or something to turn the game around.
"They just give you a quiet nod and know what to do and when to do it and can really control games upfront."
Only in this setting would someone as experienced as Green be classed as the junior entity, but he is and the 33-year-old is keen to extol the virtues of his partners in crime.
"Billy and Richard are just star players," he said. "I started watching them play for Kendal's first-team when I was a teenager and playing for the juniors.
"I went away travelling in New Zealand for a couple of years before coming back to the senior side and the two of them have given me a bit of an armchair ride since.
"They are top players and friends as well. By keeping going at such a good level they are an example to me and others – you cannot really have any thoughts of packing in early!"
Coxon's length of service means he is steeped in the club's fabric, making his presence felt during some standout moments – both good and bad – of the recent past.
"One of the highlights for me was the London Scottish cup game at home where overall I thought we could perhaps have won and produced a shock," he added.
"Another was the promotion season to what was National League One, those are the two big memories.
"The low point would be the year I was captain and we got relegated without winning a game I think.
"Although I've been here for a while there is definitely some unfinished business and promotion from our current division is the aim.
"It would be nice this season but perhaps next year is more realistic."
Like the other home-grown talents, Harryman does not see age or more specifically the physical nature of the prop position as a barrier to continued success.
"I've always played prop so I don't know any different," he said. "It's a tough position to play, especially tight-head as it's quite technical, but I've always done it.
"I've never been a great trainer to be honest, I've always preferred just playing but you have to train to be able to keep going and carry on.
"It's satisfying to play as many games as I have for the club and I'm proud of that.
"We're in a similar position now to when I first came to the club and the motivation is to turn things around and become the leading club in Cumbria again.
"We're starting to do that and I'll keep contributing as I've always done – I used to score quite a lot of tries but that side of things has slowed down a bit, old age probably."
One thing is certainly clear though, in no way does familiarity breed contempt in the forward ranks at Mint Bridge.

colette beignet + beninese beignet
Added Jun 29, 2013
by cathytxtwfr
Ouidah, Benin
The Colette Beignet skirt… with an added bonus of frying up some Beninese Beignets as well. The perfect mix, fried street food and a skirt! This was also my first time making bound buttonholes, and I am in an instant convert because they are a contrast lover's dream! I don't have a zig zag stitch on my machine so it only makes me love bound buttonholes even more.
I wrote more in my sewing journal here: http://cathywu.com/journal/treadling/2013/06/29/colette-beignet-beninese-beignet/

SMWC to lead Wabashiki cleanup
March 29th, 2011 |
The Sustainability Club at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College helps to facilitate sustainability activities into all aspects of the student experience, both inside and outside the classroom. The club invites the community to join in a clean-up effort at the Wabashiki Fish and Wildlife Area along the west bank of the Wabash River between Terre Haute and West Terre Haute. Operation:Wabashiki is scheduled for Sunday, April 3, 2011from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
As a result of initiatives like this, The Princeton Review's Guide to 286 Green Colleges recognizes Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College for its exemplary commitment to sustainability.
"We are deeply committed to raising environmental awareness. Many endangered species inhabit these wetlands and we feel it is our responsibility as a community to keep it clean," said Amber Slaughterbeck, environmental science major.
The ten-member club plans to engage the campus, community and sustainability clubs from Indiana State University, Ivy Tech and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology on how this small effort makes a big difference. The Indiana Department of Natural resources will assist in removing the litter.
Participants are asked to dress appropriately for volunteer work and bring work gloves. The club can provide a limited number of gloves. Anyone ages 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
Coffee supplies will be located at Duey Point and lunch will be provided.
For more information, contact Amber Slaughterbeck at.

To keep those New Year's resolutions of being healthier or losing weight, try some of this year's coolest new fitness tools.
Like the Kamagon Ball. It isn't any ordinary medicine ball: it's weighted with water, which makes swings and twists more difficult and more effective because your core has to engage to control the water's momentum. It costs $50.
Swimming can be a great workout, but for those who need music to keep them going swimming might be their second choice. Check out the Finis Swimp3 headphones. Using bone conduction audio transmission, it provides underwater sound without ear buds and can hold up to 500 songs. You can find it for less than $150 online.
Arm bands are bulky and heavy, and stuffing your phone in your shirt is just plain uncomfortable. So try the Flipbelt. It can hold your keys, ID, or phone. The stretchy material hugs your waist, minimizing bounce, and it goes for under $25.

Summer Pasta Saladby Robin Miller in Uncategorized, August 6, 2012
While researching nutrition for this post, I nearly fell off my chair when I ran the numbers for store-bought pasta salad. I knew prepared pasta dishes were fairly rich, but I didn't think one two-cup serving had more calories, fat and sodium than three McDonald's Double Cheeseburgers. Yes, THREE. Read it and weep:
Store-bought pasta salad (2 cups):
Calories: 818
Total Fat: 67 grams
Saturated Fat: 18 grams
Total Carbohydrate: 30 grams
Sugars: 3 grams
Protein: 21 grams
Sodium: 2181 milligrams
Cholesterol: 61 milligrams
Fiber: 6 grams
Two cups of this disastrous dish contain an entire day's worth of fat and sodium. Spread the word because pasta salads are a backyard barbecue's best friend – and it's one of the most popular side dishes to grab at the grocery store, whether for your own party or a friend's. Save everyone's arteries at the next soiree and make my lighter version. It's fresh and wonderful and has just 341 calories for the same 2-cup serving.
Summer Pasta Salad
I like using basil and parsley but you can just use one of the herbs and double the amount.
1 pound spiral pasta
2 tablespoons garlic-flavored red wine vinegar or regular red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup diced roasted red peppers
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 medium yellow squash, diced
1/4 cup sliced pitted black olives
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons drained capers
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. While still warm, add vinegar, oil, honey, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well. Fold in remaining ingredients. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.

This is a section of the Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Walkthrough, click here to go back to the main page if you want to select other sections or read the introduction. This page is a walkthrough for the following place: Route 30, Cherrygrove City, New Bark Town, Route 29
Route 30
Get Apricorn Box
You will find a first house at this route, with an Apricorn tree next to it. First, you need an Apricorn Box in order to obtain the Green Apricorn here. Enter the house, and talk to the man to receive the box.
Inaccessible Route
The northwestern part of the route is inaccessible, because there are trainer battles there. You may return here if you visited Mr. Pokémon and Prof. Elm again.
Mr. Pokémon's House
The house Prof. Elm wanted you to go is located at the north of the map. Head into the house and Mr. Pokémon will greet you. Then he will then give you a Mysterious Egg, which you put it in your Key Item bag (not in your party!). Then he will heal your Pokémon.
After that, Prof. Oak will walk towards you and greet you. He will then look at your Pokémon, then gives you a Pokédex. He also gives you his phone number. Then, he went off.
As soon as you leave the house, Prof. Elm calls you. He said that something had happened in his lab. He wanted you to return to the lab as fast as possible. So, let's hurry, head down to Cherrygrove City.
Cherrygrove City
Rival Battle #1
You meet the same boy who is standing suspiciously outside the Prof. Elm's lab a while earlier. He then challenged you with the Pokémon he stole from the lab. His Pokémon is always have a type that is against yours. If you choose Chikorita, he will use Cyndaquil. If you choose Cyndaquil, he will use Totodile. Last, if you choose Totodile, he will choose Chikorita.
After battling, he will complain that he wants to be the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer. Then he walked away. But then he returned to you and grab back his Trainer Card, apparently you are holding it, then he realized you saw his name. Then he walked away. Now head back to Prof. Elm's lab now by going through Route 29.
|Passerby Boy
|Chikorita / Cyndaquil / Totodile
|Lv. 5
|Grass / Fire / Water
|Money: 500
New Bark Town
Theft Case
Prof. Elm is very shocked and worried back in his lab. A police asked him whether you saw any suspicious character - which is the same person you battled just now. Ethan/Lyra enter the lab and also states that he/she had met the thief. Now, you just have to give him a name. I will call him 'Silver'.
Then, you pass the Mysterious Egg to Prof. Elm. Prof. Elm then steps back, surprised at the egg. Then, he was shocked to hear that you received a Pokédex from Prof. Oak. Then he tell you to challenge the gym around Johto, then go challenge the Pokémon League. He also wants you to tell your Mom going off for the long journey. (If you have not yet tell your Mum, she will call you at Route 30, asking whether you want to save money).
Now, it's time to leave to Violet City.
Route 29
When you are heading out to Route 29, Ethan/Lyra will approach you and teach you how to catch a Pokémon. After that, he/she will give you 5 Poké Balls. Then he/she leave the place. Continue to Cherrygrove City and then to Route 30.

Daniel's prize also included a family ticket as well as a £30 gift voucher to spend in the club shop and a professionally printed signed copy of the winning poster.
The runners-up were Kaman Atwal, Alex Hackney, William Cherry and Billy Benson:-
Family tickets, costing £33 for two adults and two children, are available from the ticket office by calling 0870 168 8888 or by visiting the ticket section of the club's official website.
Adult tickets cost £13 and under 16's, senior citizens and students with a valid NUS card can watch for just £7.

The hot sauce Sriracha is doing a lot more than spicing up food, according to the city that houses the popular condiment's production plant. A lawsuit filed by the city of Irwindale, Calif., claims the smell coming out of the plant is also burning residents' eyes and throats and causing headaches.
The lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last week, claims the odor coming from the plant is a public nuisance and asks that production at the plant be stopped until maker Huy Fong Foods submits a plan to reduce the chili smell that emanates from the facility, according to The Associated Press.
City officials had met with Huy Fong Foods representatives several times to discuss the spicy odor. While the company was initially receptive, they have since denied there was a problem, pointing out the employees working in the plant haven't come forward with similar complaints, the city's attorney told The Los Angeles Times.
Huy Fong Foods opened the 655,000-square-foot plant in Irwindale last year. It had operated out of two buildings about 10 miles away in Rosemead, Calif., since the late 1980s, according to the AP. Chili for a year's worth of sauce is processed only between September and December.
A judge is expected to rule on Thursday, according to The Los Angeles Times.
