The Crap We Missed – Tuesday 12.20.11
"So, wait, wait. Thetans are dead ghosts that give people depression? Who the fuck believes this shit?"
Welcome to Tuesday's The Crap We Missed featuring a bunch of photos I don't know how Photo Boy cobbled together because in case you haven't noticed there isn't a whole lot going on outside of former models in bikinis, not that you want to hear the wails of a man who writes dick jokes in his pajamas all day. Anyway, today we've got Paul Sorvino because did I mention jackshit is happening? Mariah Carey gunning for JLo's Carmen Sandiego role, Vanessa Hudgens after a date with Ben Roethlisberger and the triumphant return of Boner Boy who's literally one wrong glance away from spackling the joint. (Side Note: Is anyone surprised Stephanie Seymour still picks out his clothes? Just throwing that out there.)
Today's Final Five is for the ladies,

Manny Pacquiao may be considered one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in boxing history, but there is a large collection of people who feel his accomplishments are illegitimate. Former boxing champ Jorge Arce is apparently among that group. Earlier this week, Arce told Boxing Scene that he believes Pacquiao has been using some sort of substance that cannot be detected by the current drug testing system. "Pacquiao is getting something, that's for sure," Arce said, via. "He never [comes up] positive [during drug tests], so it is logical that he is using something that is legal or not detectable in his urine. Because I remember when Pacquiao did not want to fight [Floyd] Mayweather, because [Mayweather] said that he wanted to have doping tests [involved in their fight] and Manny refused to have them. "Pacman is coming from [the] flyweight [division] and walks around at welterweight. I am convinced that Manny is getting something, but it is not detectable. I've seen him overwhelm [fighters] who are much bigger than him." If he's using something legal, then it's legal. If Pac Man is using something that is illegal and not detectable, well, we'll never know and there's really nothing that can be done about it. Technology isn't perfect. This is not the first time Pacquiao has been accused of using performance-enhancing substances by another fighter. As we know, it has been an ongoing theme in his saga with Floyd Mayweather. While there is no proof that Pacquiao has ever used a banned substance, the speculation remains rampant. Glove tap to Opposing Views The post Former boxing champ Jorge Arce accuses Manny Pacquiao of using PEDs appeared first on Larry Brown Sports.

before someone accuses another person they should have prove. put up or shut up.
Another misguided, ignorant and unintelligent comment. This guy,being knocked down by another Filipino boxer, is trying to create an issue based on speculation. Arce, show some class man!.. If you cannot prove anything, zip your mouth and let your fist do the talking. Didn't your Mama Mia taught you not to accuse the cook that he is putting bad recado in your Burrito?

dishayu - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkRefering to the discussion around 25 min mark. I know this is a bit of a personal rant, but I absolutely can not and will not do without a physical keyboard. I was very very late on the smartphone bandwagon because there were no phones which had decent specs and a keyboard. I eventually bought a Xperia (not mini) Pro which i'm using still. Touchscreens are never and will never be as precise and nice-to-use as a physical keyboard. Although, I'm inclined to buy a Nexus 4 now because the nerd in me has a hard time resisting a knockout specsheet like that but i know i will hate using it because it has no keyboard. I wish someone comes out with a top shelf phone with a nice chunky keyboard and i would buy it in a heartbeat.
I think of myself as a bit of an oldschool guy. I never even use my a laptop if i have access to a desktop. I don't like laptop keyboards, they're almost as bad as touchscreens. I NEED the chunky mechanical keys on my BWU to feel good using my computer. Reply
s44 - Sunday, December 02, 2012 - linkTry typing on a Note 2. It's ridiculously easy. Reply
ssj3gohan - Monday, December 03, 2012 - linkwell, Im coming from a Milestone and finally made the switch to the Note (1) and while I agree the divide isnt that great (and I am a hardcore physical keyboard lover), a virtual keyboard still doesnt have the feel you need to do touch typing. It is still necessary to look where you are touching your phone. If nowadays there were a European phone with HTC Dream-quality keyboard and decent specs I would go for it. Otherwise the huge Note screen gives ample room for a confortable thumb-type keyboard. Reply
teiglin - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkI'm not usually a podcast person, but I love listening to you guys. Thanks!
Just want to toss in my 2c about one of Brian's becoming-ever-more-famous rants. While talking about the Droid DNA (and not ranting about the name, surprisingly), he mentioned the industry trend away from removable batteries and microSD slots. I agree mostly with what was said, but I had two points I wanted to make. First, on the battery thing, the issue for me with replaceable battery packs isn't swapping out the battery for a fully-charged one midday--this is a pain and not many people do this (though my brother is one of those people). However, lazy charging practices can easily damage batteries' longevity, and being able to replace that battery you know is only running at 70-80% of its new capacity with a $20 trip to Amazon is much more palatable than either voiding your warranty or trying to get a service center to replace it. As you say, between car chargers, microUSB battery packs, and simply bumming a cable/outlet somewhere (how many others have seen someone standing in the corner of a Starbucks with a plugged-in phone?), this isn't such a big deal. Having more ubiquitous inductive charging will also lessen the burden.
On the other side, my impetus for a microSD in a phone isn't to change it out; it's to avoid paying $100 to get another $5 of cheap NAND cells in my phone. It is really pathetic that HTC released a 16GB-only device with otherwise purely top-of-the-line components. I currently get by okay with my tegra3 One X (which is 32GB and no microSD), but was always more comfortable with my previous 16GB+64GB microSD--that level of storage means not having to worry about app install sizes while also allowing enough room for the media or nandroids I want to keep on my phone. Cloud is nice but with data running ~$10/GB on American carriers, streaming everything all the time is just not realistic. Of course, that situation makes a Nexus 4 on a magenta prepaid plan look pretty attractive, but I digress.
I realize 16GB is enough for many or even most people, but even my 63 year old mother has over 15GB of music on her phone as well as a few TV shows; she's fine with the 16GB+32GB microSD, and probably would be okay--if pushing it--on 32GB internal, but nonexpandable 16GB should be treated today as the embarassment it is. My point is that *high storage requirements are not unique to power users*. I'd perhaps be more forgiving if they had quality NAND cells with decent controllers, but as long as OEMs are using junk eMMC, they might as well load it up. I thought HTC was moving in the right direction with the One X+'s 64GB-only flavor, but the DNA proves that was the exception rather than the rule, I guess.
Didn't really expect to rant this much. Did anyone read this whole thing? Thanks! Reply
Peanutsrevenge - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkRead it and fully agree.
While I DO carry around a spare battery with me (notoriously poor battery life phone, HTC Sensation), I don't see that as the point, rather the short overall life of current battery tech.
Same with Storage, although I do enjoy the option to carry around A LOT of data on seperate microSD cards, I realise few others do this.
What I don't understand is the current trend to ignore a not insignificant portion of the market, who will pay more than your average Joe for these features. Reply
iacoa - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkSD slots take space so I don't care too much. But if phone makers are going to remove them then NAND shouldn't be so expensive. If I was Hynix, Samsung, or Micron I would extremely jealous of the margins smartphone makers are making off of NAND, especially Apple. 64 GB for $200? That costs $64 at most. Apple probably gets the best pricing so it costs even less.
$200. For that much money you can get 256 GB SSD.
Like Anand and Brian said smartphones will get cheaper. It will be interesting to see how Apple will react, but I don't think they'll be able to make sky high profits without losing market share. Reply

ssj3gohan - Monday, December 03, 2012 - link2 further commenta:
at some point brian says he wants phones to default to stop charging when the battery is full and start when its down a couple percent. Why? Thats horrible for battery life! I guess this is a remainder of the nickel-chemistry era 'dont leave your battery in the charger afterits done otherwise you can damage it' or something? If you leave Li+ chemistry cells on the charger they wont damage, like, on the contrary. Its best to keep your phone running on the wall charger as much as possible just sipping power fron AC instead of putting mini charge cycles onto the battery. If anything, that ia what damages your battery. /rant
Second point about removable storage: If like me you dont see phones as having to be replaced every year, its a big plus to have removable storage. Now 64GB may seem like more than anubody needs, but 4 years from now this phone will still have utility to me, and I would like to be able to then insert my dime-a-dozen 512GB sdxc card. Like my 2003 hp wm6 pda, which still, through a driver hack, accepts then unheard of 16GB sd cards. It still functions great as a 10h battery life sd/720p video player. Reply

I see galaxy camera as disruptive in a different way than you guys do. Leaving aside the camera aspect of the device for a second, I believe the galaxy camera is the first device that represents future of mobile communication and a 100% shift to :
- voice over internet (abandoning conventional mobile phone calls)
- Internet based IMs (replacing SMSes)
We've seen data-only sim card support in multiple tablets but this is the first one in the phone(-ish) form factor, which makes it disruptive for me. It has been my idea of perfect mobile device for long. I see no utility of conventional cellphone calling if and when we can have fast and cheap data plans on out mobile devices. You pay a monthly flat fee for unlimited mobile data and use if for communication/entertainment. That would be sort of commoditizing of cellular networks. Customers buy whatever sim card gives them unlimited access to mobile data at fast-enough speeds at the cheapest rates. Reply

babgvant - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkI have to disagree w/ the assertion that Apple making its own CPU is an indication of market failure. Having their own design, being able to tweak it to suite their needs and drive their schedule is a fairly large competitive advantage versus other mobile devices which must be designed around the off-the-shelf offerings.
Also Apple has a history in seeking their own silicon, it just proved too expensive to keep doing it at the volumes they were pushing with Intel's process tech marched on. If ARM had a competitive PC solution at the time when they made the switch to x86 I don't think anyone would have been surprised if they did the same thing there as they did in mobile. Reply
sporkfan - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkYou guys were saying the margins need to consolidate before we'll have cheap smartphones, and that the Nexus 4 is a warning shot. Doesn't it already sound like Samsung and Apple have consolidated the margins? If it only costs them $200 to make those phones?
You were also using PCs as an example... and that seems questionable to me. Because in order to get $699 PCs and $200 laptops on Black Friday, OEMs didn't just turn into "commodities"... didn't they also turn "unprofitable" and "frequently bankrupt"?
Anyway, it sounds like Apple and Samsung could keep some kind of margins even if they are forced to compete with the Nexus 4 on cost. Won't that picture be different in the rest of the world? Why isn't the Nexus 4 basically the only phone to buy outside of the US? Reply

tipoo - Friday, November 30, 2012 - linkOn 45nm, from the teardown the Us CPU is 30mm2. The PS360 CPUs on 45nm are still over 100mm2, as is a Core 2 Duo. Yesterday a well known Wii hacker revealed the internal clock speed of the CPU to be 1.2GHz, and also with less SIMD units than either of the HD twins.
Neither of those point us to real world performance, but I'm just thinking here. To get to the same level of performance as the older 360 CPU, the thing needs 9x the performance per transistor (nearly a third as large, nearly a third the clock speed). Clock for clock core for core, even Intel didn't improve that much from 2006-2012.
Even the Wii which was much chided for its specs was at least ahead of the last generation in every regard that I could tell, the Wii may be behind in some, even if it's better in others (GPU, RAM capacity). Reply

We're convinced that extreme sex positions were created to make us common folk feel like we are failing at sexual intercourse and therefore, life. We're all for adventure and experimentation in the bedroom, but does that have to involve getting penetrated while standing on your head? We think not. Considering that the longest we've ever held a headstand in yoga class was for, oh, about five breaths (and that was while balancing against the wall after months of practice), we don't think we'll be engaging in upside-down-sex anytime soon. Unless we have years to train for it. Maybe Sting and Trudie can pull it off, but the rest of us are laughing our asses all the way to Missionary.

Thrill of the climb: Cobb leads Rays back to .500
Club, 18 under on June 10, evens record for first time since April 22
ST. PETERSBURG -- It was a pipe dream on June 10, not yet visible around the curvature of the baseball earth from where the Rays were wallowing. By July 29, they could taste it, but it slipped away, staying just out of reach. But now, two months and five days after Tampa Bay dropped to a Major League-worst 24-42, the Rays are finally back to .500.
With a 5-0 win in their series opener against the Yankees on Friday night, the Rays accomplished what only three other teams in Major League history -- including the 2004 Tampa Bay club -- have done: come from at least 18 games under and get back even. The '04 Devil Rays were also 18 games under, joining the 1899 Louisville Colonels (22 under) and the 2006 Florida Marlins (20 under).
Alex Cobb's gem at Tropicana Field pushed the Rays to 61-61, the first time they've had as many wins as losses since April 22, when they were 10-10. That means more than 100 games passed -- 51 wins, 51 losses -- since they were last a .500 team.
"I don't have any emotions, really, right now, thinking about it," Ben Zobrist said. "Obviously we're in the middle of August still, and it's just been a battle for a long, long time to try to get back to this point. So, yeah, it's good that we finally got here, but we don't feel like we're done."
They can't be done, not if they want to become the first team of those four to actually make the playoffs. None of the other three even finished their seasons as .500 clubs.
"Well, [.500] wasn't our goal," manager Joe Maddon said. "If you want to talk about a sub-goal, we've got to get back -- because you can't get into the playoffs unless you get there, obviously.
"To get back to even ground is very important, in that we can look forward. It's still about winning series. We won the first game against a really good Yankees team."
Goal or not, it's taken a monster stretch for the Rays to get where they are. The Rays bottomed out at 24-42 on June 10, when they held the worst record in the Major Leagues. Since then, they've been one of the best teams in baseball, going 37-19.
They were close a few weeks ago, on July 29, when they were 53-54 before sliding back a few games. But on Friday, it was Cobb who finally got it done, hurling 7 1/3 stellar innings against New York, striking out eight and scattering six hits.
"He was stingy," Yankees skipper Joe Girardi said. "We got some guys on, but it seemed like he got better when we got guys on base."
On the offensive side, Tampa Bay scratched out a pair of first-inning runs against Brandon McCarthy -- both on fielder's choices, after the Rays loaded the bases with nobody out. They added two more in the seventh, on a Curt Casali RBI single and a Zobrist RBI groundout, and one in the eighth on James Loney's sixth home run.
The Yankees threatened in the eighth, when they loaded the bases with one out off Cobb and reliever Brad Boxberger. But Boxberger struck out Jacoby Ellsbury and Mark Teixeira to get out of the inning unscathed, prompting a roar from the crowd -- and a single, intense clap from an onlooking Cobb in the dugout.
"When you have the bullpen that we've got, especially Boxy warming up, you don't feel like you have to be perfect out there," Cobb said. "You can make mistakes. You can allow guys to get on base, and more often than not he's going to come clean up the mess."
With the strikeouts of Ellsbury and Teixeira, left-handed hitters now have one hit in their last 56 at-bats against the right-handed Boxberger.
How is a righty like The Box so much trouble for lefties?
"Let them figure it out," Maddon said.
Derek Jeter, playing his penultimate series in St. Pete, got a loud ovation of his own from the 26,535 in attendance when he stepped into the batter's box in the top of the first inning. But there was another round of applause when he walked out of the box -- from the Rays fans, after Cobb struck him out on three pitches.
Seven other Yankees hitters got that same applause, as Cobb, on top of his game, sent them back to their dugout. When the right-hander walked off the mound in the bottom of the eighth, doffing his cap to the crowd, he got the longest ovation of all.
Once the game was over, he got the chance to think about the road his team's taken.
"I'd be lying to say I knew we were going to get to this point," Cobb said. "I think Joe's the only one that's been saying that. I haven't believed him the whole time -- but I won't doubt him again."

THE proposed development of Wilton Park in Beaconsfield has been challenged by a development company which had also set its sights on winning the lucrative contract.
Beaconsfield-based Jansons has requested a judicial review looking into the process of selling the area owned by the Ministry of Defence.
Amersham-based Inland Homes, who have been chosen as developers, had already worked with South Bucks District Council on early consultation plans for the 102-acre site.
Jansons development director, Michael Tomkins, said: "We have issues with the way the MOD have handled it and we want to take them to task on it."
The proposed plans would see between 250 and 350 homes built as well as a new community hub. It could also result in a new relief road being built to alleviate traffic at London End.
At the time of the sale a Defence Infrastructure Organisation spokesperson said that all protocol had been followed.
The spokesperson said: "DIO took professional advice which confirmed Inland as a special purchaser within the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) definition and sought appropriate approvals to undertake an off-market sale."
A crowd of nearly two hundred people gathered at a public meeting last night to discuss the development plans for Wilton Park, which went up for public consultation last month.
Mike Elliott, chairman of Beaconsfield Society and campaign group Wilton Park Watch informed the audience that Jansons, having contested the decision, were not attending the meeting as they felt it would be inappropriate.
SBDC is holding a consultation until February 28 for people to have their say on the planning brief, designed with Inland Homes, for what could go on the site.
The public meeting last night held by the Wilton Park Watch, being overseen by the Beaconsfield Society and the Beaconsfield Old Town Residents Association, gave residents a chance to voice their concerns about the development.

Steve Fisher religiously gives his San Diego State basketball team a thought or quote of the day. Two weeks ago it was:
You're truly old, or it's truly coming to an end, when regrets replace dreams.
"We're coming to the end for these guys with this season," Fisher said, "and they're dreaming big."
So, apparently, is their coach. Fisher, who turns 68 on Sunday, confirmed that "my plans" are to return for a 15th season at SDSU and 34th in college basketball, and perhaps more.
Fisher has two years remaining on a four-year deal he signed in 2011 that pays him $800,000 per season plus bonuses, but he conceded that at his age, at this point in his career, coaching becomes a year-to-year proposition. And there was a rumor circulating through Mountain West coaching circles – the cynic will say it was for recruiting purposes – that this season would be his last, that he would step aside and hand the program to Brian Dutcher, his longtime assistant and the anointed "head coach in waiting."
Those around the program hear that, and laugh.
"Are you serious? Come on," Dutcher said. "The guy is born to be a basketball coach. This is where his passion is. You look at how hard he works and the energy he has, you'd think he has three, four, five more years left in him. Or 10 or 20."
Dutcher has known Fisher for 25 years and they speak daily on all manner of subjects, from defending ball screens to world events. One thing Dutcher has never asked, and insists he never will, is how long Fisher intends to coach.
"Until he tells me he's not, I just assume he's coming back," said Dutcher, 53, who followed Fisher from Michigan to SDSU in 1999. "That's how we recruit and that's how we run the program, that Coach is going to be here and when he's done, he'll let us know.
"I think it's one of the nice things about him having me as coach in waiting. He doesn't feel he has to leave after we make the NCAA Tournament. Or if we have an injury or two and we slip to 18 wins, he doesn't have to worry that I'm not going to get the job. He can leave when he wants."
Many in the industry assumed Fisher would retire two years ago at age 66, after the Aztecs went 34-3, after they were ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in school history, after they won an NCAA Tournament game for the first time in school history, after they reached the Sweet 16, after he spent Final Four weekend in Houston collecting national coach of the year trophies – and with the prospect of replacing four starters and several key reserves the following season.
And if he were defined by trophies and records and legacies, he admits, he probably would have.
After receiving the Adolph F. Rupp Cup in a ceremony in Houston, Fisher asked if there was something he could put it in. He was handed a cardboard box and stuffed it inside; he didn't want to walk through the lobby of the coaches' hotel with a glistening 2-foot trophy in his hand.
At his core, Fisher is still a math teacher from Rich East High in Park Forest, Ill., scratching numbers on a chalk board all morning, Xs and Os in the afternoon. His wife, Angie, was a teacher at Rich East as well.
Earlier this season, the Aztecs played Mountain West newcomer Nevada, where the athletic director, Cary Groth, is a Rich East High alum who was taught driver's ed by "Mr. Fisher" 35 years earlier.
They exchanged pleasantries before the game. Groth shook her head and said: "He hasn't changed one bit."
"I'm still coaching because, even though some days are better than others, I'm really having fun with what I'm doing," said Fisher, whose seventh-seeded Aztecs play No. 10 Oklahoma on Friday in Philadelphia, their fourth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. "I enjoy the strategy when we sit in the office and say, 'OK, what can we do against this team?' And then we see if we can get it across to our kids and implement it in a fashion where it's effective in a game. I enjoy that challenge.
"I enjoy the process and watching our kids grow, and I enjoy having them come back after they leave and still being a part of it – coming back to watch, coming back to say, 'I need your help.' I enjoy all that."
On most days, SDSU women's coach Beth Burns arrives early at Viejas Arena to watch the men's team practice. And – her favorite part – to see a 67-year-old man step into the lane to teach the finer points of post defense to a 6-foot-9 freshman, his feet skipping, his knees churning, his arms waving, his glasses bouncing off the bridge of his nose.
"You've got to be passionate about doing this, or you can't do it," Burns said. "It's too hard and you're dealing with a really challenging age group. What you don't see, you can't even imagine. You've got to love the game, and you've got to love dealing with kids. And he does. So why not?"
Fisher put it like this: "You have to be excited when you come to practice. When you're no longer excited, then that's when you know it's the time to, you know, move on. The job is too demanding and the players are too insightful, where if you're not fully invested – two feet in the boat all the time – along with them, it will show."
SDSU football coach Rocky Long, who turned 62 in January, was asked about the fountain of youth Fisher seems to have unearthed.
"Age is a matter of perspective," Long said. "If you feel old, you are old. If you don't feel old, you're not. And he doesn't look like he feels old to me."
Old? Four-year starter guard Chase Tapley just came out and said it a few weeks ago.
"I don't want to say he's an old man, but he's a great old man with wisdom and words," Tapley said. "He preaches to us, giving us life nuggets with his quotes. I'm glad he found a kid from Sacramento that nobody was really recruiting. I mean, words can't explain what he's meant to me and what he's done for my career.
"I'm just happy to be playing for him. I love him like he's my father."

Regarding James Zadroga's 9/11 Health and Compensation Act and the lack of cancer coverage, the lack of providing cancer coverage to the first responders seems a glaring oversight to the intent of the bill.
"To date, 75 recovery workers at ground zero have been diagnosed with blood cell cancers that a half-dozen top doctors and epidemiologists have confirmed as having been likely caused by that exposure." This is a quote from the Village Voice from 2006.

Third Annual Sugar Bowl Classic ~ January 1, 1937
The uniform of this squally day should have included galoshes. Luckily for Santa Clara, Buck Shaw knew where to go to dry things out.
In a game that was anything but an artistic success, Shaw's best defense may have been the favored Tigers themselves. LSU, which would suffer the most from the weather because of its vaunted passing attack, would turn the ball over an astounding 10 times with six lost fumbles and four interceptions. The only thing that seemed to keep things close was Santa Clara, which had six turnovers itself, four lost fumbles and two interceptions.
Things went bad for LSU from the very start: Nello Falaschi took the opening kickoff at the Santa Clara 17 and returned it to the Bronco 41. Pat Coffee, LSU's best passer, made the tackle but was jarred on the play. He put in only nine minutes the rest of the game. After the Tigers punted from a foot away from their own goal, Santa Clara was in front to stay on a 27-yard pass play from Falaschi to Manny Gomez. Seven minutes after that, the Sugar Bowl was put on ice with a 30-yard fourth-and-nine scoring play from Bruno Pellegrini to Norman Finney.
Eleven minutes after kickoff, the outcome seemed as obvious as the mounds of mud on the uniforms. The best gauge of what was happening wasn't just a glance at the scoreboard. One of the country's most efficient offenses was being dismantled. LSU went 25 minutes without making a first-down. Shaw had trusted center Phil Dougherty to keep LSU off-balance with defensive calls, and the 180-pound junior performed flawlessly.
End Gus Tinsley put LSU Back in the hunt late in the second quarter when he caught a 10-yard pass from Bill Crass, then, seeing the right side overloaded with defenders, reversed field, picked up a convoy and went the distance. The 50-yard play cut the difference to 14-7 at intermission.
Halftime is when Shaw showed his cunning. Early in the game, when he spotted coaches from Loyola University, whose campus was just blocks away, among the crowd, he sent an assistant over to talk to them.
"When we got to the dressing room," recalled tackle Al Wolff, "there were dozens of shoes sent over by Loyola, just scattered around the floor. The coaches said, "Find a pair that fits and put 'em on.' Then we changed into our practice uniforms for the second half and we were ready to play again."
After an interception, the Broncos' Frank "Mississippi" Smith, who grew up in Picayune, Miss., 60 miles from Tulane Stadium, tried an end around from the LSU 4. With two defenders zeroing in, he tossed the ball straight up in the air. Falaschi made the catch and crashed in the end zone. The PAT snap was botched, but Falaschi dug the ball out of the mud and passed to Smith for a successful conversion, still one point in those days.
With just minutes to go the fourth quarter, LSU blocked a Santa Clara kick and Crass speared Rocky Reed on the dead run for a six-yard touchdown. LSU's fate, however, was sealed.
It added some excitement to a finish radio listeners didn't hear. NBC cut to the Rose Bowl with about two minutes to go. "A lot of people in northern California were furious," Wolff said. "My mother said it seemed forever before it was announced that Santa Clara had won."
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Mr. Bekir Bozdağ issued a statement that was effectively a summary of what Mr. Adnan Oktar has been saying for years about deficiencies in the law and said that there needs to be a regulatory system for when those who enforce the law go wrong.
A9 TV: February 16th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: If a law is appropriate the judge will act in line with it. If there is a binding law, the judge can do nothing else. Laws need to be well arranged and planned. There could be judges to supervise other judges. If inspector judges are brought in, then there will be no more need for such criticism. Judges supervising other judges.; that would be very effective. An inspector to supervise judges would be a very effective thing.
A9 TV: June 2nd, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: Every step to do with democracy is urgently needed. However, the judicial system is a big problem in Turkey. People need to be able to criticize judges. One is allowed to say almost nothing. Everything is regarded as an offense and punished accordingly because judges look after judges. It is essential for this amendment to be brought in. Let us ready this as a petition and send it to the Ministry Of Justice and the Prime Ministry, and also to the European Court of Human Rights.
A9 TV: June 13th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: It is very wrong that judges should be immune from legal proceedings. They are only human. They can exhibit weaknesses or make mistakes. It needs to be made easier for proceedings to be brought against judges. You cannot sue for compensation or bring other legal suits. You cannot speak out if they make a mistake. If you say they have acted wrongly that is an offense. You end up being charged with slandering the judge and you are punished. If you say, "He has not read the case file" that is an offense. One can be fined millions of lira; prison and a fine. The prime minister must concentrate on that in the Judicial Package.
A9 TV: April 28th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: If the judicial system fails, Turkey will fail. If the judicial system collapses, Turkey will collapse, may Allah forbid. But we must of course be on our guard against injustice in the judicial system.
The judicial system must be strong, but there can be no saying that nobody should ever interfere in it. I have said this before, there should be judges to supervise the judicial system. There should be inspector judges. Specious cases should not be permitted but proceedings should be possible when the judge makes obvious mistakes. No proceedings can be brought at the moment, and that has to be changed.
There must be supervising judges for judges. There could be a ten member panel but there must be no bringing of proceedings for specious reasons, just to wear the judge down. The panel of judges can determine that. But the present system rejects those cases in which there is justification. For example, a blatant error is made, but no proceedings can be brought. That must be changed.
January 8th, 2013: Yeni Şafak
Minister of Justice Bekir Bozdağ has issued important statements about changes to be made to the legal system, and particularly in the Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK).
"The HSYK is stronger than Parliament. If I make a mistake there are mechanisms that regulate ministers but if those who apply the law make an error, the law does not apply to them. The law says, "Do this." But they do something else. If you do not intervene in that you will be encouraging those who step outside the law. The HSYK must discharge its duty independently within the judicial system, but it must also regulate those who step outside the law."

I have been confused for quite some time now over how the fundamental metrics in Omniture Insight /Visual Sciences (VS) are defined. Well recently I found out that the definitions are rather simple.
The keyword that I am going to focus on here is "Shift" which is used in a lot of fundamental Insight Definitions.
he syntax of using this keyword to create dimension is something like this:
Shift(Dim,Level,Group,N) and this is how it is explained in the VS documentation :
"Defines a dimension having the same elements as the dimension Dim. The eth element of the dimension level relates to the same element of the new dimension as the element of Dim related to by the e+Nth element of Level provided that the eth and e+Nth element of level relate to the same element of the dimension group."

Generation Station
Blog type: Genealogy vendor blog
Late 2008, I stumbled upon PB Wiki (now PB Works) which offers open-source collaborative software that makes it super easy to create your own wiki. I immediately realized that this was the solution: a single collaborative page for every deceased family member where the community could create and maintain a biography, stories and media. There would be only one page per person and it would link to the rest of the family. Basically, evolve the family tree way beyond just names, dates and places but tell the tapestry of stories that truly recount someone's life. This was the aHa! moment that would push me to finally take action on the idea. (to be continued…)

Harwick Common Riding Cornets
Blog type: Individual family history, UK genealogy
I was born in the Haig, grew up in Dovemount Place, started school at Trinity, moved to Burnfoot, and then on to the High School.
All that time I had a guilty secret – that we had to go across to Gala to see my Granny, because my father was a Gala man.
And although I was vaguely aware of some sort of Hawick connection – occasional comments about an uncle who was a mason and had opened the church next to Alan Watt's newsagents – they never bothered to mention that Granny's cousin had been a Cornet!
If I had known that then, it could have changed my life.
But I moved away from the town and it was only when I started to do a family history that the trail led from Gala back through Peebles to Lanark – and then swiftly back to Hawick and the Common Riding of 1919.
This blog starts with Tom Winning and his life – and will gradually include more of the Cornets.

More Than Names
Blog type: Individual family history
I'm in my mid-twenties, a woman just trying to find her roots. Okay, I've been trying for years and have hit several dead ends – my family wasn't that incredibly literate, or close, and they didn't keep great records. However, thanks to the power of the internet, I'm trying to connect with people on a similar journey facing similar problems in their family tree adventures. It truly is a journey.
I've been interested in family history since I was a little kid. I always wanted to hear family stories, names, dates, birth places… I knew from an early age the events in my family's past effect my future and the choices they made 100 years ago influenced my life today.
Now that I'm all grown up, I'm taking my family research to a whole new level. It started with an ancestry.com tree, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. I began collecting names, dates and places, but I'm not satisfied with that. I want details – I want to know my ancestor's occupations, causes of death, and about their lives in general. I've been doing this in earnest for the past few years, however, it just now hit me that I can use connecting with others on social networks (Twitter and blogging) to improve my chances of fleshing out my family's stories.
My Georgia Roots
Blog type: Georgia genealogy, Individual family history

Walking With Ancestors
Blog type: Individual family history, UK genealogy
As a child, I enjoyed listening to my family tell us (the children) stories from their childhood. My Grandparents were born in the 30′s, we had stories of the War through a child's eyes. My parents were born in the 60′s and had totally different childhoods. My Father grew up in a one-parent family, with 5 siblings, from the age of 10 after his mother died from Breast Cancer. My Mother has just 1 brother and both of her parents.
I started out on my journey into the past in March 2007 on a whim. Little did I know how addictive it would be. I already had a head start because I'd listened to stories of childhoods for hours. I met no hostility when telling family of my plans and everyone was more than happy to share what they knew with me.
Discovering my Ancestors really has been like walking with them, hence the name of the site. Through Census returns, birth, marriage and death certificates I've mapped out their lives, their moves to different counties and countries. The next task is to actually walk their lives. Visit the areas many of them lived and died. Throughout my research I have discovered links to many places in the UK that can be found on the Place Connections page.

The game 'Last one loses' is played by two players and uses a pile of n counters. Players take turns at removing 1, 2 or 3 counters from the pile. The game continues until there are no counters left and the winner is the one who does not take the last counter.
Using functions, write a program to allow the user to specify n in the range 10 - 50 inclusive. The computer acts as one player, playing at random.
This is the code I have written there seems to be problems with the last if statement can anyone get this working?
- Code: Select all

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Saint Leo University freshman Alana Tabel solidified her name atop the Sunshine State Conference's top performers in 2013 as the 25th-ranked Lions shut out Lynn University 11-0 behind her no-hit effort in five innings of SSC action from south Florida on Friday afternoon.
Tabel tossed her no-no as the Lions' bats remained hot, with Saint Leo (35-14, 15-4 SSC) tattooing the hosts' pitching for nine hits and seven walks. After a scoreless first inning, the Lions busted the game open with a seven-spot in the second and continued to add to the total before its mercy-rule conclusion at the end of the fifth inning.
Picking up her 14th win of the season, the freshman from Loxahatchee, Fla. dominated the Fighting Knights' (19-26, 5-14 SSC) batters behind four strikeouts and five innings of work where she needed just 47 pitches. This marked the first no-hitter for Saint Leo Softball since Ashley Urbanik tossed a no-no against Eckerd in an eerily similar 11-0 win on March 26, 2008.
Saint Leo posted back-to-back mercy rule victories behind a 3-for-4 effort from senior Rachelle Gremo who tallied two RBI and two runs scored. Every Lion starter reached base in the conference series-opener as Saint Leo also capitalized on three Lynn fielding miscues.
The Lions will continue the SSC series tomorrow morning when they square off with Lynn in doubleheader action starting at 10 a.m.

Conventional wisdom says you must trade power for fuel economy, or vice versa. In that case, the 2013 Ford Mustang GT must be either unwise or unconventional.
The newest generation of Ford's pony car, in GT form, sticks with a V-8 engine, displacing a big 5 liters, good for 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. At the same time, the car's EPA numbers reach 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. I would have thought Ford had found a way to game the EPA tests, until CNET's review car wound up with an average of 20 mpg over city, freeway, and back-road flogging.
Lacking direct injection, forced induction, or a colony of hamsters helping to spin the crankshaft, how does Ford defy our notions of power and fuel economy? Mostly by letting the engine run very slow in 90 percent of driving situations. Driving the Mustang GT along freeways at 70 mph or in the city at 20 mph, the tach needle stayed resolutely under 2,000rpm, usually hovering just about 1,000. The sweep from 2,000 to redline only feels the needle on those rarer roads when you can keep the gears low and the power up.
Ford also made the Mustang GT's engine more efficient with variable intake on the valves and variable camshaft timing. An electric power-steering unit lessens the load on the engine, yet manages to feel remarkably natural, or at least more like a hydraulic power-steering system. The six-speed automatic transmission helps with a high top gear and programming that looks for the most economical ratio.
As easy as that automatic transmission made driving around San Francisco, with starts on hills that pointed approximately toward Mars, I would not choose it as an option. Beyond the axiom that all sport cars require manual transmissions, I was never comfortable with the rocker switch on the Mustang GT's shifter that activates manual gear selection.
This little switch, with its plus and minus symbols, worked fine when choosing a gear for a long hill descent on a highway, but was too easily missed when going for a downshift approaching a turn. Paddles, which the Mustang GT lacked, are far more tactile.
And where some automatic transmissions show surprising sporting capability with quick shifts, not so the Mustang GT's. Torque converter slushiness was evident at every gear change, a little hesitation before each downshift. However, with 420 horsepower on tap I could leave it in third gear, suitable for all but the sharpest S-curves and switchbacks, when pounding through twisty back roads.
Ford's big claim to tradition with the Mustang comes in sticking with a solid rear axle, which should give at least part of the car the ride quality of a pickup truck. But Ford managed to do some good work on this ancient rear-suspension configuration. The Mustang GT rode comfortably, although with an oddly rubbery sensation. It felt like the car was wearing a wetsuit, with a thick coating of neoprene between road and driver.
When pushing the Mustang GT along a mountain road full of quick turns, the car's heft was noticeable. Setting the wheel back and forth for successive turns made the whole car shift its stance with something less than grace. Even when I didn't push the car particularly hard in a turn, the tires complained in tortured symphony. As for the electric power steering, I had a difficult time telling the difference from hydraulic. The steering wheel showed good resistance when cranked over, although with a bit of loose play at center.
One noteworthy addition to the Mustang GT is a performance computer integrated with the instrument cluster. A nice color LCD between speedo and tach shows lateral g-forces, along with acceleration and braking times. Notably, it does not include a lap timer, suggesting that the car is better suited for drag races than road courses.
In less-than-ideal conditions, meaning not on a closed course and leaving the transmission in its Sport mode, I gave the acceleration timer a try. When I simply mashed the gas pedal, the performance computer rewarded me with a time of 5.1 seconds to 60 mph. Under more controlled circumstances, Edmunds.com reports a time of 4.7 seconds to 60 mph.

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Small loans cannot end global poverty alone. But combine them with efforts to provide clean water, nutritious food, healthcare, and education, and a stronger, healthier community is born. That is what makes World Vision's Micro so unique.
World Vision works to create self-sustaining solutions for the entire community. Micro just is one piece of the puzzle, but an important one. Because World Vision works to develop all aspects of a community, Micro not only serves to stimulate the economy, but empowers people to work towards creating a healthy, prosperous community.

Your donation of a loan ultimately helps foster World Vision's greater goal of community development — enabling impoverished people to discover their own abilities and unite to change the direction of their lives and their communities. We work to help impoverished communities gain access to clean water, nutritious food, education, basic healthcare, and microfinance opportunities. Once the community has become self-sufficient and taken ownership of these interventions, we are free to move on to another community in need, beginning the transformation process all over again.

One in every five people in the world lives on less than $1.25 a day. Many of those are hardworking people. For example, mothers who want to provide for their children. They want to get out of poverty. Many have great business ideas, but no capital to get started. So they come to us. They learn about us and how we can serve them. We help them get ready to do business.
This is where you come in. You choose an entrepreneur. Read their story and their business idea. Fund all or part of their loan. They start or expand their business. They receive business training based on ethical principles and smart strategies.
They earn money to feed their children, send them to school and save money for the future. Then you sit back and watch. And then the loan is repaid. Your original tax-deductible donation gets recycled. And another entrepreneur from the same country receives a loan.

Move Over, Capt. Nemo
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — February 2003
Maybe you don't want to go 20,000 leagues under the sea (after all, that works out to 60,000 miles), but how about 120 feet, give or take a fathom? The AquaGlider X30 from AquaPower is geared to take diving enthusiasts underwater limousine-style.
This 12-foot-long by six-foot-wide (including vertical-movement fins), battery-powered, open-hulled, fiberglass-bodied, aluminum-framed vehicle can carry three divers at a leisurely 3 knots for two hours through the octopus' garden. (Did I mention this pseudo-submarine is yellow, too? However, white is an option.) Divers sit single file with the pilot aft, controlling the motion of the X30 with foot pedals that direct the four three-blade propellers and two fins. All the divers need to become part of nature's aquarium is a mask, wet suit, and air tanks, which can be stowed in an aft rack.
Passengers communicate via a standard wireless communication system. (Are you starting to think James Bond's buddy Q had a hand in designing this thing?) As safety is first in all boating and diving activities, the X30 comes standard with master-power cut-off, voltmeter, dive flag, flare gun, PFD, and an emergency inflator button, which engages a redundant air system via a pony bottle. The result is the ability to deploy air bags at deep depths and float the X30 to the surface in an emergency. Call for pricing.

Morinville student one of Alberta's top 30 under 30
Provincial groups honours global citizen
Wednesday, Jan 15, 2014 06:00 am
A Morinville high school student has been declared one of Alberta�s top 30 residents under 30 years of age due to his efforts to get youth pumped up about politics.
The Alberta Council for Global Cooperation announced earlier this month that it had picked Morinville�s Tristan Turner as one of the 30 Alberta leaders profiled in the 2014 Top 30 Under 30 magazine. The council is a federally-funded group that promotes global citizenship.
This is the third time the group has run its Top 30 Under 30 contest, which is meant to highlight Albertans (or people who work with Albertans) who are under 30 and dedicated to making a difference locally and globally, said council spokesperson Chris Chang-Yen Phillips.
�It actually provides a huge boost,� said Chang-Yen Phillips, who was featured in the 2012 edition of the magazine. �It�s really cool to show people that, hey, someone�s recognizing my efforts.�
Past local winners include St. Albert�s Graeme Matichuk, who co-founded the Global Awareness group at Bellerose Composite High School, and Amanda Sarrazin, who works to teach Tanzanian villagers about malaria.
Turner, 16, is a student at Morinville Community High School and the first Morinville resident to get into the Top 30 Under 30, Chang-Yen Phillips said.
Turner has been an active member of the New Democratic Youth of Alberta since age 14, and organized two public rallies in St. Albert to protest the 2012 federal omnibus budget bill. He writes a regular column for The Morinville News and co-founded the Morinville Interact (Youth Rotary) Club. His father, Barry Turner, is a member of town council.
Turner said his friend and refugee advocate Bashir Mohamed of Edmonton nominated him for the Top 30.
�I sort of assumed he was doing it on a lark,� he said, so he was shocked when he learned he won.
Not surprised by the win was Rosie Kruhlak, a social studies teacher at Morinville Community High who has known Turner for three years.
�He has a very humanitarian outlook,� Kruhlak said, and is very giving of his time.
Turner traced his involvement with the New Democratic Party to his father and grandfather, both of whom have been party supporters.
�I�m really passionate about making a difference in my community and my country,� he said, adding that he sees politics as the way to make that difference. �I want to see things change.�
Turner said he�s concerned with how today�s youth are becoming disengaged with politics � a combination of �voluntary Balkanization� through social media and cynicism brought on by politicians eroding the democratic process.
�If we�re going to enjoy the same quality of life our parents did � it�s critical that we get involved now,� Turner said.
The Morinville Interact Club will head to Mexico in a few months to help former dump dwellers establish a day care, he said as an example, and will soon start work on other local issues.
Adults have to encourage youth to get involved instead of dismissing them due to their age. �If people assume they have nothing to offer, they won�t offer anything.� Having young leaders as role models would also help.
These may be affluent times, but there�s still much in the world and our own backyard to do, Kruhlak said.
�The heart of social studies is to make students into good citizens,� she said. �Tristan is already there.�
Turner said he planned to get a political science degree after high school. While he ruled out a run for town council, he said he might get into provincial or federal politics.
The 2014 Top 30 Under 30 magazine will be released at an awards gala at the University of Alberta this Feb. 1. Call Chang-Yen Phillips at 780-988-0200 for details.

It's going to be OK, after all. No, no, really, it is.
It is.
It's going to be OK, after all. No, no, really, it is.
It is.
That was the message BYU's football players and coaches sent out after their first full day back at work following Saturday's goof-a-rama at Virginia. Apparently, Monday's practice went a whole lot better than the actual game. So, there's that.
How OK will it be?
When asked what his team learned from its disappointing defeat, looking ahead to Texas, running back Jamaal Williams blew sunshine like this:
"That if everybody works hard, we can beat anybody."
It was a bold conclusion to draw after Saturday's mess.
Jumping ahead a few sentences, Williams added: "We made some mistakes, of course, that kept them in the game; as a result, we gave them the game. We feel like if we cut down on mistakes and keep executing, do what we need to do, they're going to get tired and bow down to our will. And we're going to go out there and do our thing."
Ah, the losing team's classic refrain: We can do better and when we do, we'll win.
Maybe that's true, maybe it's not. The Cougars sounded on Monday as though they were doing everything they could to convince themselves of the former, forced to cling to it sooner than expected after a bad loss.
Going up against the Longhorns will be tougher. And facing that challenge, the Cougars suddenly were conceding the need for improvement, but then talking happy talk. The only other option, it seems, is staring at harsh truths nobody's ready yet to see.
It's too early for that.
Mendenhall went ahead and complimented his team in specific areas including the play of the defense (check), the running of Williams (check) and he called Taysom Hill's performance "strong," which nearly caused Pinocchio's nose to blow through a nearby window, given that the quarterback hit just 13 of 40 passes.
Protecting the psyche of his young QB, Mendenhall blamed the inefficiency on receivers who dropped, by his count, five or six balls. Williams' late bumbling of a throw that was intercepted "I should have caught it," he said hurt the Cougars in a major way. But even if that pass had been caught, even if those other catches had been made, Hill's completion percentage would have remained south of what BYU's offense needs, at least against top-drawer opponents.
On the one hand, on the other hand:
Hill said: "Our passing game has to get better," and then, regarding Texas, he said: "I'm comfortable, I'm confident. I think we have a really, really good shot."
Mendenhall said: "I thought we played really hard. Doesn't mean we necessarily played well." And, then, said: "I was encouraged and I thought we gained some momentum, didn't lose any."
The coach knows full well his new defense looked a lot like the defense of a year ago, which is great news for him, and that his new offense looked too much like the old one, which, fast-paced or not, is a kick to the tenders.
Hurrying bad offense up merely rotates that offense off the field quicker.
But the coach spun away from that notion, saying: "I have no issue with the number of plays, especially if it relates to points, which the research has shown that that's what it will lead to. If for some reason it doesn't, then that's a whole different story. But I don't have any reason to think it won't."
Other than his team putting just 16 points on the board against an opponent picked to finish 13th in its league.
"I think our team is optimistic, encouraged and feels like there was progress made," Mendenhall said. "However, [the game] also gave us a clearer idea of what areas we had to work on. So, the brutal facts are we need to get better up front, better at throwing and catching it."
No denying the offensive line drooped in its first outing under position coach Garett Tujague. Of all the Cougars, Tujague was most emphatic about how lousy his group performed, how lousy he performed, and how all that was going to change.
"We've got to do a better job of embracing the philosophy of this offense," he said. "You can't compromise the quality of the plays to the quantity. … Most disappointing is, we need to be physical. If you go back and look at any game, it's won and lost up front. That's on me."
Asked if the offensive line play can be fixed, following the day's theme, Tujague said: "Absolutely, 100 percent. Absolutely, it will be fixed."
It's going to be OK, after all. No, no, really, it is.
It is.

If there's one thing in this world that makes me gag even more than ketchup, it's a thick slab of raw, white onion. When I'm reviewing burgers for AHT, unless the onion is caramelized within an inch of its life or perfectly pickled, its lifespan on my burger only lasts as long as it takes to capture a photo—if that. Lately, I've been wondering how AHT'ers feel about onions. Do you like them grilled, caramelized, in jam form, straight-up, or just not at all? Let us know in this week's poll.
Results from Last Week's Poll
Last week, we asked you to weigh in on doughnut burgers. Here are what a few of you had to say:
Way. There's something about the way the yeasty, fluffy interior of a donut takes on the beef juices which makes it outstanding. Add in a caramelized glaze and gooey cheese and it's one of those things that is messy as hell to eat but oh so good.
The only use of doughnuts as sandwich material should be for the ultimate expression of breakfast sandwich gluttony. The burger deserves better. I'll stick with my Martin's potato rolls.
Back in the day, before this was a common fair food, a friend and I had a leftover chocolate cake doughnut and a leftover burger patty. Cut the doughnut in half, added the patty, no other toppings—it was great. My theory is that the naysayers have only tried the glazed-yeast-doughnut-burger, which is obviously not the correct type of doughnut to use.
Poll Results
The majority of AHT'ers (52 percent) want nothing to do with doughnut burgers. Only 19 percent of AHT'ers said they are totally into the sweet/savory combo of a doughnut and a beef patty, and 29 percent of respondents said they might try one if they are looking for something new and exciting.
Note: the poll remains open, so these numbers may shift slightly in the future.

Marilyn Investigated by the FBI
In July 1962, Marilyn Monroe went to Mexico with friends. There, the FBI started a file on the famous actress suspecting she had leftist or communist sympathies. These documents reveal the investigation into Monroe's political beliefs, her alleged affairs, and the circumstances surrounding her death. While Marilyn Monroe's official cause of death was an accidental drug overdose, suspicion and conspiracy veil night of August 5, 1962. Did she have an affair with Robert Kennedy? Did someone murder Marilyn? History will probably never know for sure, but these documents from the FBI reveal that someone saw her as more than just a silly actress. Conspiracy theories aside, Marilyn's life and death leave her fans wondering how such a youthful actress could die in such a tragic and mysterious way.

The Lupus Research Institute commends GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for announcing their plans to share all their clinical trial information with the scientific community. For lupus patients, it will give scientists access to a breadth of data to learn more about the results of clinical trials testing the safety and effectiveness of the first treatment for lupus in 50 years, Benlysta.
As noted by many industry commentators, this represents a leadership step in transparency among the pharmaceutical industry.

THOUSANDS of pensioners and disabled people in Worcestershire could be made to pay for alarms in their homes.
About 6,500 people could be affected by a county council bid to save money on a 24-hour alarm service.
The alarms, activated by pulling a cord or pressing a button on a pendant, link to either housing association wardens or specialists at a call centre in Malvern who can contact emergency services.
Until now pensioners on housing benefits were given the service free.
However, county council chiefs are consulting over a charge.
They have refused to reveal how much money they are thinking of asking for, but say the 6,500 people who get it free are subsidised by taxpayers to the tune of £914,000 a year.
The customers include mainly elderly people, but also some vulnerable under 65s who have a range of disabilities and require a 24-hour alarm.
Elaine Carolan, lead joint commissioning manager for the county council, said: "Currently there are different criteria in place to determine whether someone should receive a call alarm funded by Worcestershire County Council.
"This has resulted in people who use a call alarm paying different amounts for the monitoring of their call alarm – some people pay nothing while others pay as much as £4 a week.
"In Worcestershire we hope to move to a system where everyone will have access to the same service at the same price.
"This could result in some people paying more than they currently do for their call alarm."
About 2,000 letters have gone out to customers asking them for views on what they would be prepared to pay.

The undergraduate and graduate interior design programs at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) have once again been named number one in the nation for 2013 by DesignIntelligence's annual "America's Best Architecture and Design Schools" list. Last year, SCAD was the first university in the ranking's history to be honored with both top honors.
DesignIntelligence, the rankings body of the Design Futures Council, has produced the industry-driven rankings in design disciplines for the past decade. The group's research rates undergraduate and graduate programs from the perspective of deans and chairs from academic programs across the nation, and leading practitioners with direct experience hiring and supervising recent design graduates.
"SCAD interior design is a source of pride for the entire university," says SCAD president and co-founder, Paula Wallace. "Many thanks to our brilliant students, faculty, and staff who strive every day toward a new era of creative and academic excellence."
In addition to SCAD's interior design programs' number one rankings, SCAD's industrial design undergraduate program was ranked sixth in the nation, and the university's graduate industrial design program was ranked seventh in the nation. The publication lauded the university's industrial design programs' strengths in communication and design education.

Ghana's High Commissioner to UK & Ireland Praises JDM FAN CLUB – UK
Report By: Ken N. Johnson
The acting Ghana High Commissioner to the United Kingdom / Ireland, Her Excellency Mrs. Elizabeth Nicole over the weekend praised the JDM Fan Club – UK for their effective campaign strategy to get their leader and patron, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama elected in the December polls.
Speaking at a special event organised by the JDM fun Club UK last Saturday, 17th November in Tottenham, London; the high commissioner was full of praise for the club as she quipped "your emergence as a fan club has contributed immensely to the resurrection of the NDC's campaign in the UK and Ireland". Mrs Nicole, congratulated the club and the communications machinery for the immense work that they've done so far with enthusiasm and commitment, however, she was also quick to caution the club members against complacency and urged them to continue to work hard to secure an unprecedented One Touch Victory for President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC.
The high commissioner, in her remarks, reminded members to take advantage of the social media network platform to propagate the achievements of the NDC administration within the past four years. She said, should the NDC be re-elected come December 7, President Mahama will work hard to improve the living conditions of all Ghanaians; by putting Ghanaians back to work again, improving maternal care, and addressing the huge challenges facing our education system.
Mrs Nicole, advised the audience not to be detracted by the negative propaganda juggernaut of the NPP against the person of His Excellency President Mahama. She also asserted that, the NPP campaign team is deeply worried because of the waves being made by His Excellency John Mahama on the his campaign tour and their failure to address pertinent questions on their so-called flagship policy on free SHS.
On his part, the ward chairman of Milton Keynes Mr. Peter Kumadi advised members to be circumspect and always desire to seek the truth since that is the tenet of the NDC as a party. Mr Kumadi also extended his appreciation to delegates who participated in the recently held prayer meeting which was organised by the Milton Keynes ward, and advised members of the party to be swift in diffusing the persistent lies of the NPP.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Have you ever remembered a phone number by visualizing the pattern of telephone button pushes or by using a little math (416-2550: 4 squared is 16, 25 doubled is 50)? If so, then you have already used patterns to help you remember a fact.
Looking for patterns in dates, phone numbers, addresses, etc. will give you a much better chance at remembering the information later. This is because you've instantly made the information more meaningful, you've concentrated on it long enough to push it into long-term memory, and you've chunked it.
In the above example, you only need to remember "4 squared, 25 doubled" which is, at 4 chunks, much easier to remember than the original 7 chunks.

Product Description
The high alpine wild flowers around Revelstoke are a sight to behold. For a couple of weeks, usually in late summer, they are at their brightest once all the snow has melted from the high peaks. I thought for sure I was going to miss them this year as I was away on assignment in Northern Canada for late July and early August, but when I got back they were in full bloom. The trail is called Keystone Standard Basin and is one of Revelstoke's premier high alpine rides with some challenging technical sections mixed with fast and flowy portions of trail that lead to an old cabin
