The post-Christmas come down is a depressing time for a lot of people. For many retailers it is the final straw, when they have to admit that even the December shopping binge has failed to provide enough cash to keep the business trading legally.
As a result, insolvency practitioners and shrewd business journalists will be watching like hawks this week for filings at Companies House, when those in dire straits need to admit that they are planning to call in the receivers or look for a fire sale buyer. Read more

Learn More About Police Work with Evansville Police Department's Citizen Academy
In an effort to give the public a better understanding of how they operate, the Evansville Police Department is giving residents an opportunity to learn more about their inner workings.
Since taking over as Chief in 2011, Billy Bolin has made it a priority to change the perception of the police department by the public; attempting to focus less on the law enforcement and more on the department's role in keeping the public safe when danger lurks. One such example is the department's recurring "Coffee with a Cop" meetings where officers sit at an area Donut Bank location and invite the public to stop by and chat about whatever is on their minds. Whether that's concerns about activity in their neighborhood making them uncomfortable, or discussing the day's sports news.
Another example is their upcoming "Traveling Citizen's Academy". Taking place on Tuesday nights from 6:00-8:00pm beginning June 25th, the seven week program is designed to give the community an inside look at some of the department's various units and create better understanding and communication between the police and the public through education.
Presentations will be made by the K-9 unit, S.W.A.T. Team, Domestic Violence Unit, among others.
The event is free to attend and will take place at Nazarene Missionary Baptist Church at 867 East Walnut Street in downtown Evansville. For more information, contact Debbie Baird with the EPD at 812-436-4948 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Bigger Picture
Loki asks: And you say that staying in bed improves our poor lifes?
Yes. While this particular study is most directly applicable to how micro-gravity affects the human body in order to create counter-measures, this research may also shed light on how to better care for pregnant women whose babies lives depend on bed rest, or people with injuries which leave them no choice but to remain immobile for long periods.
In a broader sense, the benefits from technology invented for space missions affect millions of people on Earth every day -- your "poor life" included. Did you know modern fire-fighters wear suits made of fire resistant fabric invented for use in space suits? Did you know the helmet padding that protects the heads of all your favorite NFL football players was developed by NASA for aircraft seats? Did you know you wouldn't have a cellular telephone if it wasn't for NASA? They didn't invent the gizmo itself, but they created the process that makes it work!
Frankly, I'd be twelve shades of tickled to chuck my cell phone into a swamp, it drives me batty... but here are a few other things we wouldn't have if it wasn't for NASA being only 5 years short of its AARP card:
- Radiation Detectors
- Virtual Reality Simulators
- Cordless Vacuums
- Heart Pump Implants
- Invisible braces
- Memory Foam (now known as Temper Foam)
- Micro-Lasers
- Solar Cells
- Joystick Controllers
- Fire-fighting Equipment
- Lightning Protection Systems
- Crop-Dusting Accuracy Systems
- Oil-Spill Cleanup Techniques
- Aircraft De-Icing Techniques
- Satellite Television (actually enabled everything that requires satellites!)
I could go on for days, and in fact there are entire websites devoted to this subject. Hey, turns out getting on a soapbox is the only easy thing to do tilted at -6 degrees! Browse those pages, decide for yourself, and ponder or argue as you please... but I'm just one of those people who thinks the facts are plain.
Technologies developed from NASA labs continue to have significant impact, from finding water on Mars to better aerodynamic designs in children's toys... and sometimes I am floored when I hear people talk about NASA in a negative way, as if the space program should be shut down to address other socio-economic issues of our world. The big picture is often the other way around: a great many of our crucial issues have been and still are solved by NASA... many in tandem with other technology companies, or even as happy accidents in the "Law of Unintended Consequences."
Buzz Aldrin recently said "fantastical" science fiction has led to a declining interest in promoting the real space program, and he has a point. Nc one wants to stifle creativity, because certainly fictional shows and movies have also led to many new inventions and cultural ideas... but there is something to be said for inspiring young people to learn of and be excited about the REALITY of space travel as we know it, and all its accompanying (or resulting) technologies.
Is it always perfect? Have they done everything right? Of course not; no entity does, and scientific discovery is rarely the result of the shortest or easiest path. Nonetheless, NASA has consistently led the way to truly remarkable advances and miraculous voyages, because their focus exemplifies one of the greatest human characteristics: our desire for examination and EXPLORATION. We are the only animal who looks beyond ourselves, to see what the universe is made of and how we fit into it, how we came to be.
Whether one puts their faith in a divine entity or their energy into science, at its core this grand search transcends both of these spheres -- and defines our essence, our deepest nature. Beyond technology. Beyond the mechanics of "everyday life." Beyond how we interpret facts or faith.
Dinosaurs didn't track orbits. Ever seen a giraffe gaze up at the stars and organize them into patterns? Chimps never argue whether Pluto IS or ISN'T a "planet" for the sake of accurate categorization.
Humans alone, from the most ancient civilizations to the present, looked upward to ask, what is out there? What does it mean to us?
Humans alone look upward to ask, WHY?

Having lived in FL for nearly 20 years of my life, from about 1979 to 1997. I have seen a great deal of the space program, as well as the vast majority of launches of the different rockets and Shuttles. My dad worked at Cape Canaveral thru an agency where he had to work nearly any and sometimes all launches.
I for one, am totally behind NASA and what they are doing to better our lives, whether it be here on earth, or up in space.

Just so's you know, there are tons of us who agree with you and who understand (to a small degree) what spinoffs space travel has provided.
You might also have mentioned:
Remote medical monitoring
Environmental and weather modelling
Better, faster, smaller computers
Every aspect of modern life has been touched by space spinoffs. Pretty good return on our money, I'd say.

I've been following your blog since it was on fox news and just wanted to say I think what you are doing is absolutely wonderful. It takes a strong person to step up and help out like this. I have to say I'm a tad bit jealous, I would love to be there joining in! But with my children my priorities have to be set at home.
I'm checking out your blog every chance I get to see if you've updated yet! I would love to see more of what you all are going through day by day, your feelings, and any changes you've felt each day...etc...
Keep up the good work and hang in there. And thanks for this blog...I'm going to live this experience through you! :)
- August 4, 2008 at 7:17 AM
Thank you for you comments. I was put on bedrest for three pregnancies. The first time for 3 months, the second time for 4 months and the third time for about 2 months. It was not fun, though I was able to get up from time to time. For assorted Dr. appts! To this day I can't sleep on my left side (I was supposed to stay on my left side as much as possible..BP is better for moms) I was not allowed to lay on my back at all. Not fun. Here's hoping all you are doing will help people like me!

excellent post. i'm sure we can all agree that more should be done to help fight poverty, homelessness, etc.--but we never know where that help will come from! it's sad to hear the state of the economy these days and how it costs billions just to retrofit a bridge or something. where is the money going to come from for science and research?

see, posts like this one are part of the reason i am so proud to say that you are my friend. you didn't sign up for this study so that you could lie around in bed for 3 months or because of the money. you did it because you are an intelligent person that thought the research was important.
i hadn't even thought of how the bed rest information could be useful for other things like the ones you mentioned. but dang. think of how it could benefit human's lives.
keep on, keeping on!

Crew can't overcome Lohse's early struggles
ST. LOUIS -- It was apparent before the sun set on Saturday that Kyle Lohse did not have his good stuff. He knew it, his former Cardinals teammates knew it and his manager, Ron Roenicke, knew it. If not for a brilliant escape by reliever Brandon Kintzler, it would have been the worst start of Lohse's career.
Instead he merely matched a career high by allowing all of the Cardinals' runs (though two were unearned) in a 9-7 loss at Busch Stadium that left him shouldering the blame and Roenicke explaining why he waited so long to reach into a rested bullpen.
The result evened the series between these National League Central rivals with Sunday's prime pitching matchup to follow -- Matt Garza, coming off back-to-back gems for the Brewers, opposing John Lackey, making his Cardinals debut.
The other of the Cardinals' recent pickups, Justin Masterson, did not exactly dazzle in his introduction on Saturday, but he happened to catch Lohse on a rare rough night.
"I should be better than that," Lohse said. "I cost us the game early on. It's a lot to ask to score that many runs against a team like [the Cardinals]. We did a good job of battling until the end, but I just put us in too big of a hole."
Lohse's final ledger also included nine hits, three walks, two strikeouts and two home runs. It marked only the second time in his 55 starts for the Brewers that he did not record an out in the fifth inning -- the first was a game in Pittsburgh last June that was interrupted in the second inning by a long rain delay from which he did not return.
The only other time he allowed nine runs -- in May 2010 against the Astros, when he was with the Cardinals -- only four were earned because of a pair of errors.
"He's been so consistent," Roenicke said, "that it surprises you when his command is off by that much."
It was a bad night for a letdown, because the Brewers' offense is churning again. Milwaukee manufactured five runs and seven hits in six innings against Masterson, who walked three batters and saw two of them score, and the Brewers kept producing against the St. Louis bullpen. Dropped into deficits of five runs after two innings and four runs after five, the Brewers twice came back to within two runs, at 6-4 in the fourth and 9-7 by the seventh.
The red-hot Aramis Ramirez had three hits, including his first triple since 2012, and an RBI. Ryan Braun and Scooter Gennett drove in two runs apiece. Carlos Gomez had two hits, stole two bases and scored two runs.
"Today was just one of those heavyweight bouts. Everyone just kept on swinging," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Fortunately, we got the big hits when we needed them."
The Brewers were never able to overcome the Cardinals' five-run second. Most of those runs scored after Lohse issued a two-out walk to .224-hitting catcher Tony Cruz with the pitcher on deck. Masterson followed with a single on a hanging slider in an 0-and-2 count, Matt Carpenter walked, and Kolten Wong and Matt Holliday cashed in with consecutive run-scoring hits. That accounted for four runs, the last of which scored on a throwing error by left fielder Gerardo Parra in his first Brewers start.
Another error burned the Brewers in the fifth, when Lohse faced four batters and retired none of them. After Lyle Overbay dropped Holliday's popup in foul ground, Holliday delivered a rally-sparking single. Oscar Taveras' bases-loaded double made it 9-5 and chased Lohse. Kintzler inherited runners at second and third base with no outs but did not allow any additional runs, thanks to a pair of fielder's-choice grounders that produced outs at home plate, and an inning-ending strikeout.
With long reliever Marco Estrada having pitched only two-thirds of an inning since July 19 and a pair of off-days bookending this three-game series, Roenicke was asked why he didn't replace Lohse earlier.
"Marco takes a long time to get loose, so we were trying to get [Kintzler] ready," Roenicke said. "[The pitching change to Kintzler] could have been a batter earlier."
Roenicke also suggested that the team needed innings from Lohse, despite Monday's off-day. He was hesitant to go too early to long man Estrada because, "You think, 'OK, Estrada can go four innings for me,'" he said. "Well, if you're behind and you have a situation where you have to [pinch-hit], trying to score runs, you can't. You can only go two innings, because we have to hit for him. If you want to try to win the game, you just can't say he's going to go four or five innings. If you think you're out of it, you have no chance, then it's a little bit different."
Lohse took the blame.
"Normally, I'm pretty good at battling through it," Lohse said. "It just didn't happen. That's one of the things I pride myself on, is even when things go a little bit haywire early, being able to battle and keep your team in it. [The Cardinals] just kept pecking away, getting tough hits."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/4/2013 (1601 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I'm a guy in a rock band who had very long hair. It took three years to grow, and I was proud of it. Last weekend my older brother, who's losing his hair, got drunk and cut my ponytail off while I was sleeping. I woke up right after. I was livid and beat him up, for the first time. The next night I was scared to go to sleep; I stayed awake with a chair braced under the bedroom doorknob. My parents stopped giving him the car as punishment. So he told them off, and moved in with his girlfriend and her family. Now our whole family is in hell and my mom is crying all the time. I don't know how to handle it. My parents are religious and demanding we pray about this and talk and then make up and "heal the rift in the family" so my brother moves back home and "we become a family again." I feel like I would have to quit school and move out because I'm afraid for my back. My close auntie said she would take me in at her place, and she told my parents. I think there's something sick about my brother. Please help. -- Living in a Volcano, Downtown
Dear Ready: When a big problem blows up in a family and complicates everything, people often look at the last move made (in this case, your brother moved out), rather than the source of the original problem. What happened that made your brother so crazy-mad he cut your hair off? Was there a precipitating incident or argument or insult, or is your brother losing it mentally and/or drinking and taking drugs? Any way you look at it, everybody in the family needs help. No one can just walk away from this mess, as it will not get better. If you want your mom to stop crying, stop threatening to move out and install a lock on your bedroom instead. Momma can't stand to lose two sons in one month. Whole family counselling would be the best, from an outside agency (it costs considerable money, but it's private) or someone in your church that everybody agrees to (probably free, but there are other costs). If you want private help for yourself, Klinic offers 24/7 phone counselling at 204-786-8686 and free walk-in counselling five days a week at their 545 Broadway location (call 204-784-4067 for times).
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm desperately in love with my school principal and don't know what to do about it. I'm a teacher in his school and I have been in love with him for several years. I think he knows it, but he's not responding to me, although I know he likes me a lot. The man is single, and there are no other eligible women in the school. But it would be a big scandal if we started going out. Having said that, I still want him so badly! What can I do? I stay awake at night dreaming of him. -- Loving Him So, Manitoba
Dear Loving: Would failing to do anything about this give you regrets when you're 80? You have to make the move. If he cares, he doesn't dare hit on you or it would be sexual harassment. The best thing to do is ask him if he wants to go for coffee sometime. If he says a quick no, you have your answer. If he agrees to meet you, tell him, "It's been bothering me for a few years. I really like you, but I totally respect our professional relationship, and if you don't feel the same it's OK. I just had to ask." You will have your answer by looking at his face. If it's a clear "no go," it's time to close this door. And, try to get a job at a new school for next fall, so you can finally get him out of your life and refocus.

Two Republican lawmakers introduced a bill Tuesday that would require the Defense Department to offer the Tricare Prime managed health care option in places where the department plans to discontinue the program on Oct 1.
The "Keep Faith with Tricare Prime Act," sponsored by Rep. John Kline of Minnesota and Texas Rep. Mac Thornberry would provide a one-time choice for affected military retirees and their families to stay on Prime or choose Tricare Standard.
In a release, Kline said the bill "ensures our veterans are given the choice they earned."
"Promises made should be promises kept and the Pentagon should not break faith with our nation's heroes," said Kline, a retired Marine colonel.
The Pentagon announced earlier this year it will shrink Tricare Prime areas to within 40 miles of active or former military bases, a move that will force 173,000 retirees and family members to switch to Tricare Standard.
According to the Defense Department, the cuts will save the government $45 million to $65 million a year, based on estimates that DoD pays an average of $600 more per year to provide Prime to a beneficiary compared to Standard.
Military retirees in Prime pay annual enrollment fees of $269.26 for an individual and $538.56 for families, and their co-pays for outpatient care are $12. Prime requires no deductibles.
Tricare Standard has no enrollment fees but carries greater out-of-pocket costs, including cost shares of 25 percent for retirees and annual deductibles for outpatient care of $150 for an individual and $300 for a family for retirees.
According to DoD data, a family of three using Tricare Standard averaged $2,075 in out-of-pocket costs for health care in fiscal 2009, while a similar family in Prime paid about $1,375.
Kline said his proposed bill, H.R. 1971, would help Tricare Prime beneficiaries on a fixed income who might not be able to afford the extra cost.
The legislation would "reduce the immediate impact imposed by the new policy by allowing military retirees to make informed decisions on how to best utilize their military retirement health care benefits while they consider future life decisions," according to a statement released by Kline's office.
"My legislation keeps faith with nearly 4,000 veterans in Minnesota and more than 170,000 nationwide," said Kline, a House Armed Services Committee member.
The decision will affect retirees and their dependents in Prime, as well as those using Tricare Young Adult Prime. That totals 98,771 people in the Tricare South region, 37,404 in the North and 36,706 in the West.
The Tricare system was designed to maximize use of both military and civilian facilities, with an eye toward making optimum use of military hospitals and clinics.
In the 1990s, however, contract managers for the Tricare regions expanded Prime into areas not located near military bases at a time when managed care networks were thought to be a model for health care cost savings and health maintenance. In recent years, the entire Tricare South region has been considered a Prime service area.
Defense Department officials say things have changed.
"We basically have found that Prime is not a cost savings and not ... cost-neutral. When we first proposed doing this, we thought it would be cost-neutral at worst," Dian Lawhon, Tricare's beneficiary education and support division director, said in a teleconference with reporters in January.
Active-duty members and their families will not be affected by the impending reduction of Prime service areas; they can use Standard or enroll in Tricare Prime Remote, a program for those living in rural areas.
DoD has introduced a number of measures designed to rein in ballooning health care costs, including the reduction of Prime service areas and proposals in the 2014 budget to increase Tricare fees on all retired beneficiaries except those medically retired for service-related injuries.
The Congressional Budget Office, which does budgetary analysis of legislation, has not determined the estimated cost of Kline's proposed bill.

Caviar to receive rare distinctionPatrick Bartley and Chris Roots
Published: February 18 2013 - 3:00AM
AUSTRALIA'S greatest ever sprinter, Black Caviar, later this week will be inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame while still racing - a feat even the great Makybe Diva could not achieve.
The New Zealand-bred dual Cox Plate winner Sunline is the only other horse to enter the hall of fame while still competing in races. Sunline's induction caused a good deal of controversy in 2002 but it's unlikely that Black Caviar's induction on Thursday will create much backlash.
Sunline was the the world's highest earning race mare of her time; she competed on 48 occasions for 32 wins, nine seconds and three thirds to earn $11,351,607.
Now Black Caviar could be set for the biggest challenge of her career in next month's Newmarket Handicap after she set a 1000-metre record at Flemington on Saturday.
The unbeaten superstar erased any doubts about her fitness and zest for racing by running 55.42 seconds in the Lightning to break a 25-year-old track record. It fulfilled one of the last achievements missing from Black Caviar's resume.
"That win opened up a lot more opportunities for her," managing part-owner Neil Werrett said. "She is back bigger and stronger and maybe even better than she was before. It's incredible really.
"We have clubs from around the world chasing her to come and race at their tracks; about the only one we haven't heard from is the ATC (the Australian Turf Club in Sydney)."
There are limited options for Black Caviar next start but the Newmarket at Flemington on March 9 and the William Reid Stakes at Moonee Valley 13 days later are under consideration.
"The realistic next option is the William Reid,'' trainer Peter Moody said on Melbourne radio on Sunday. ''But I'm mindful the Newmarket is a great race on her favourite track. No doubt she appreciates racing in a straight line.''
Black Caviar would scare off rivals in whatever race she runs in as she searches for a 14th group 1 victory to equal the Australian record of Kingston Town.
The William Reid has the advantage of being at weight-for-age. The Newmarket, being a handicap, means Black Caviar would have to give rivals weight.
Racing Victoria handicapper Neil Jennings indicated she'd probably be given 61.5 kilograms when weights are released on Tuesday, which might tempt her owners.
Part-owner David Taylor said Moody would have the final say on the program, but the premier sprint had some attraction.
"If he says to us, 'What's your preference?' To win a second Newmarket would be something else,'' he said.
Black Caviar set a weight-carrying record for a mare and ran a race record when she won the Newmarket with 58 kilograms two years ago. She has won 10 group 1 races since, so to go up only 3.5 kilograms would appear a lenient impost.
Four horses have won two Newmarkets - Razor Sharp, Correct, Gothic and Aspen - all in consecutive years. Another consideration in the Newmarket mix would be that Lightning runner-up Moment Of Change, also trained by Moody, is likely to start favourite if Black Caviar doesn't run.
He would get 53.5 kilograms or 54.5, which would mean a nine to 10-kilogram weight turnaround from his 2½-length defeat on Saturday. "He's my second-best horse,'' Moody said.

LAKE ALFRED, Fla. - The Polk County Sheriff's Office says they arrested a 39-year-old Lake Alfred man charged with DUI manslaughter in the death of a 14-year-old.
According to deputies, Orlando Dejesus, 14, died as a result of injuries he sustained on Aug 31, 2012, when 39-year-old Trevor Werner's vehicle traveled from the east lanes of US Highway 92, through the median, and into the path of a westbound SUV, in which Dejesus was a passenger of.
Traffic Homicide deputies said they learned through an investigation that Werner had been "huffing" computer cleaner prior to the crash that occurred in August.
Before the crash, deputies said Werner had stopped at a store located at the intersection of Havendale Boulevard and 42 Street NW in Auburndale. There, officials said he purchased a can of computer cleaner. Deputies said the crash occurred less than two miles from the store.
Toxicology results indicated the presence of chemicals associated with the canned cleaner in Werner's system at the time of the crash. According to deputies, information gathered from the crash site indicated Werner took no evasion action to avoid the crash. It appeared as though, according to deputies, Werner was unconscious when his vehicle traveled into the path of the SUV.
A warrant was issued for Werner on Friday. Werner is currently being booked into the Polk County Jail.

Bishop boys, Westwood girls are basketball champs
Published: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 1:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 1:24 p.m.
The undefeated Westwood Middle School girls basketball team ended the two-year hold the Howard Bishop Middle School girls had on the Alachua County middle school girls basketball championship, while the Bishop boys were repeats as champions by defeating Westwood in the championship game for the second year in a row.
In the championship games played last Wednesday in the Bud Seymour Gymnasium at Buchholz High School, the Westwood girls (12-0) jumped out to an early lead enroute to a 30-17 victory. The boys game was close throughout until midway through the fourth quarter when Bishop's Diamond Smith threw down a slam dunk that brought the Bishop bench and fans to their feet cheering loudly. The dunk tied the game at 31 and Bishop ended the game on a 13-2 run for a 42-33 victory.
Girls game
The girls game began with Westwood opening up an 8-0 lead fueled by great defensive pressure that led to numerous turnovers by Bishop.
Bishop (8-3) scored its first points of the game when Diasia Medley made a basket to make the score 8-2. Madison Johnson then scored her second basket of the game for the Whirlwinds to make the score 10-2, before Leaundranae "LeLe" Young scored to make the score 12-2 at the end of the first quarter.
Westwood held Bishop to only two points in the second quarter as well and led 20-4 at halftime. The Whirlwinds cruised through the second half and celebrated with each other and fans after the game. The Whirlwinds, like the Bishop boys, were awarded certificates and two trophies by Dan Boyd, superintendent of Alachua County schools. The champions keep one trophy and will have to defend the other trophy next year. Boyd also gave certificates and a runners-up trophy to Bishop girls and Westwood boys.
Matthew Floyd, first-year coach of the Westwood girls, said his team worked extremely hard all season to put themselves in position to be champions.
"I love coaching these girls, and what I like about them is every day they came and gave 110 percent – every single day," said Floyd, who teaches world history at Westwood. "They were focused most of the season and they had a few bad times, but they overcame them."
Boys game
The Westwood boys (11-1) began their game just like the Westwood girls by jumping out to an early lead. They led 9-2 with 2:05 left in the first quarter before the Hawks scored five unanswered points to make the score 9-7 with 22 seconds left in the quarter. Westwood's Will Bungert scored on a putback as time expired in the quarter to make the score 11-7.
The Hawks (10-2) tied the score at 11 early in the second quarter after a freethrow by Joseph McCray and a drive to the basket by Devin Lawrence. Bungert scored on another putback to give Westwood the lead, 13-11, before Bishop got its first lead of the game after Lawrence sank a three-pointer to make the score 14-13. However, the Whirlwinds scored the final three points of the half and led 16-14 at halftime.
Neither team led by more than three points the rest of the game and it looked like the game was going down to the last shot, just like last year's championship game. In last year's game, Bishop won when former coach Mike Williams drew up and the team executed an alley-oop play for the victory as time expired. The alley-oop is when a player throws the ball near the basket for another player to jump, catch and put the ball in the basket, all in one motion.
It didn't take a last-second shot this year because the dunk by Smith seemed to slam a ton of energy into the Hawks, who then began to smother the Whirlwinds with defensive pressure and outstanding rebounding the last four minutes of the game.
Ash'lea Moore, first-year coach of the Hawks, said the team won the game because although they didn't start the game executing their game plan, they did so once they settled down. Moore, who coached the P.K. Yonge girls team to the state championship game in 2009, said she had a lot of fun coaching the Bishop boys this year.
"Coaching this team has been out-of-control fun," said Moore, who coached the Eastside Lady Rams from 2010-2012. "Collectively, I've had more fun coaching these kids than any other kids I've been around. The keys for winning this game were doing what we've done all season long and not deviating from the plan."
Her game plan is simple.
"Play defense with your feet and box out when rebounding," Moore said.

Drinkers have raised their glasses to the return of full strength Victoria Bitter with sales for the beer growing by 2 per cent for the December quarter, the first time in more than a decade, parent company SABMiller says.
Victoria Bitter, Foster's flagship beer, which returned to full-strength in October, was "benefiting from the brand restoration programme and improved retail engagement", SABMiller said in a statement overnight.
"We just went back to basics and we're cautiously optimistic," Foster's Group spokesman Jeremy Griffith said.
"We [also] took the advertising and the labelling back to what it traditionally was and tradition has always been it's a hard-earned thirst. You work hard, you get a beer. That was always the market take and it was always very successful for 30 years.
"When you've made your largest brand to turn around for the first time in 10 years, it's very encouraging."
The result defies brewer Foster's continued drop in sales. Beer sales for Foster's slid four per cent on a pro forma basis, compared with a decline of eight per cent in the first half of 2012.
"Total lager volumes, including discontinued brands, were 15 per cent down," SABMiller, which paid $12.3 billion last year for the acquisition of Foster's in 2011, reported.
"The integration programme in Australia remains ahead of schedule in respect of both synergy delivery and capability build."
Mr Griffith said Foster's goal for Victoria Bitter had been to retain its customers in the subdued Australian beer market, which has been in mild decline since 2008.
"The original tenet was to give the current drinkers a reason not to move away. So to actually increase it ... wasn't actually the plan," he said.
"It's early days. We're pleased but we're certainly not making any forecasts at this stage."
XXXX Gold, which is owned by Lion, the local subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate Kirin, is still Australia's top selling beer by volume despite Victoria Bitter's turnaround.
XXXX Gold has 12.4 per cent of the market compared to VB's 12.1 per cent, according to AC Nielsen data released in November.
Victoria Bitter was the highest-selling beer in its category of alcohol content strength, Mr Griffith said.
In the Asia-Pacific region, China's coldest winter in 28 years hit lager sales and volumes declined three per cent, said SABMiller.
Group organic lager volumes grew two per cent, but without the Chinese decline the figure would have been growth of three per cent, a company spokesman told Reuters.
Financial performance was in line with its expectations, the London-based company said, as revenues rose 17 per cent compared to a year ago on a reported basis, or eight per cent in constant currency terms.

BRISBANE, Australia – With Michael Hussey announcing his intention to quit international cricket just weeks after ex-captain Ricky Ponting retired, Australia's attention has turned quickly to who will fill the two big voids in the batting order for 2013 series in India and England.
The 37-year-old Hussey, seemingly at the peak of his powers, made the surprise announcement on the weekend as Australia prepared for the third test in a series it has already secured against Sri Lanka by winning the first two matches.
The traditional New Year's test at Sydney starting Jan. 3 will be Hussey's 79th and last, following Ponting, Australia's all-time leading run-scorer, into retirement.
Phil Hughes, a 24-year-old top-order batsman who has been in and out of the national lineup since scoring hundreds in both innings of his second test against South Africa in 2009, has been earmarked to continue batting at No. 3 after replacing Ponting for the Sri Lanka series, with Pakistan-born Usman Khawaja likely to move into the test squad as a contender to bat at No. 5 or No. 6 after being on standby for skipper Michael Clarke in recent tests.
Hussey nominated his brother, 35-year-old David Hussey, among the contenders to bat for Australia in India and in the Ashes.
"I'm not worried about the team whatsoever," Hussey said Sunday. "We've got some fantastic candidates to come in - probably too many to name. Maybe David Hussey could get a run - one Hussey out, one Hussey in.
"History has shown players have come and gone. But the game continues to move forward, and it'll be no different with me."
Michael Hussey didn't make his test debut until he was 30 but has been a valuable contributor to the team, accumulating enough runs to be 12th on Australia's all-time list of run-scorers. His supreme fitness has helped him forge a strong middle-order combination with Clarke across the last year, the pair frequently combining after failures from the top order.
Now it'll be left to Clarke, who has excelled as a batsman and captain since replacing Ponting in 2011, to work with an inexperienced lineup as Australia faces the challenge of touring India in February and March and then faces England away and at home in back-to-back Ashes series.
Glenn Maxwell, a young off-spinning allrounder from Victoria state who has been drafted into the 13-man squad for the Sydney test, discarded Rob Quiney and Tasmania's Alex Doolan are all being touted as possible test batsmen of the future.
Mitchell Starc, a tall, left-arm fast bowler who is just establishing his credentials in the test arena, said he was surprised at the sudden nature of Hussey's retirement.
"He's still in great form with the bat, as we've seen through this summer so far," Starc told Australian Associated Press on Sunday from Sydney. "He's going out the way he wants by the sound of things and it's going to leave a big hole.
"It's hard to replace Ricky Ponting - now we've got to replace him and Mike Hussey, so it's a big gap."
Hussey has scored 19 centuries in 78 tests and averages 51.52. His recent form has been strong and he's averaging 180.00 after two tests in the current series against Sri Lanka with scores of 115
not out, 31 not out and 34 in Hobart and Melbourne.
Hussey, nicknamed "Mr. Cricket" because of his career-long dedication to the game, said that with four children under eight, it was time to spend more time at home.
Hussey is Australia's 12th-leading run-scorer with 6,183 runs at 51.52.
His retirement follows the test departure last month of ex-skipper Ricky Ponting, Australia's all-time leading run-scorer.
Cricket Australia said later in a statement that Hussey will play out the remainder of the 2012-13 Australian summer season, as well as be available for Western Australia state.
"Michael Hussey has been a vital contributor to many Australian team wins over his very successful test cricket career," Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said. "He has always been thoroughly committed to meticulous preparation and the highest levels of physical fitness which have in turn delivered consistent performances in all forms of the game." – Sapa-AP

Fairfax County's 50+ Action Plan To Be Presented at
National Conference on Aging/American Society on Aging Conference
The Fairfax 50+ Action Plan will be the focus of a presentation on 'Strategies for Creating Aging Friendly Communities' at the National Council on Aging/American Society of Aging conference in Washington, D.C. on March 28.
Grace Starbird, director of the Department of Family Services' Fairfax Area Agency on Aging, was invited to discuss the plan which was adopted by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in October, 2007. She will also discuss the board's year long deliberation to better understand the impact of a growing older population as well as steps that are being taken to implement the action plan.
Ms. Starbird will speak as part of a panel of experts on aging who, together, will describe four model programs: a major national initiative to promote livable communities for older adults, a county government initiative, a grassroots organizing effort, and a community partnership with five immigrant and faith-based communities. Ms. Starbird will discuss the Fairfax 50+ Action Plan as the county government initiative.
The panelists will describe the characteristics of aging-friendly communities; identify emerging national and local initiatives for promoting aging-friendliness; provide examples of innovative partnerships; promote replication of effective techniques for engaging racially and ethnically diverse populations; and promote the involvement of older adults as community assets.
The conference is being held jointly by the two largest professional associations on aging. More than 3,500 professionals from the fields of aging, healthcare, and education along with business leaders from across the United States are expected to attend.
The conference theme is 'Aging in America.' It will take place at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel and Omni Shoreham Hotel from March 26-30, 2008. Ms. Starbird's presentation is scheduled for March 28 from 10:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in the Johnson Room of the Marriott Hotel.

Baez continues maturing in Peoria
Cubs prospect homers, drives in career-high four runs
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | July 14, 2012 9:17 PM ET
Chicago's No. 3 prospect went 3-for-5 with a home run, triple and a career-high four RBIs on Saturday as Peoria posted a 9-8, 10-inning win over Bowling Green.
Baez tied a personal best for hits and eclipsed the career high he established when he drove in three runs on June 2. It also game him a 10-game hitting streak, his first double-digit run as a professional.
The 19-year-old tripled in the second inning and reached on an error in the fourth. His three-run homer off Hot Rods starter Parker Markel capped a five-run fifth inning that gave the Chiefs a 7-3 lead. He reached on an infield single in the seventh.
Needing a double to hit for the cycle, Baez nearly ended the game in the ninth. With one out and Paul Hoilman on first base, the native of Puerto Rico hit a drive the opposite way to right-center field that was tracked down by right fielder Drew Vettleson.
"He put a good swing on it and gave it a pretty good ride," Chiefs manager Casey Kopitzke said. "That outfielder made a pretty good catch and certainly had to cover a lot of ground to get there."
Despite missing a potential walk-off by mere feet, the ninth overall pick in last year's Draft raised his average to .319, the highest it's been since June 7 (his 10th game of the season). Through his first 39 games in the Midwest League, Baez has eight homers, 19 RBIs and 16 stolen bases. His .945 OPS would rank second in the league if he had enough at-bats to qualify.
"He's done a lot of positive things since he came here," Kopitzke said. "He's really a talented individual. He's a little bit more advanced than you'd think for someone his age, that's for sure. Just his ability to drive to all fields, get the bat on the ball when he needs to, run, field, he's further along than where you'd think."
That doesn't mean Baez still doesn't have room to grow. In an infamous incident on June 2, MLB.com's No. 51 overall prospect swung at a 3-0 pitch in the ninth inning of a 15-2 game and was plunked in the side on the very next pitch. Now, more than a month later, his skipper chalked it up as a learning experience.
"Every day, there's something you can learn from," Kopitzke said. "I really can't put a finger on one thing he hasn't done well for us. He's so open and eager to coaching and pays attention to everything we try to bring to him. He's a real good student of the game."
Chadd Krist's RBI single in the 10th inning gave the Chiefs a walk-off win. The designated hitter finished 3-for-6 with two runs scored.
Todd Glaesmann was 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs for the Hot Rods.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - University Christian plays in the Class 2A state championship game on Friday afternoon in Orlando vs. Dade Christian (Miami).
It's the Christians first appearance in the finals since 1994. UC has won six state titles, including four between 1989-1994.
It's been a long road back, but one head coach David Penland III says the team had in mind at the beginning of the year.
"We've been talking about it since I got the job, just trying to get there," Penland said. "It's here. I can say, no, I didn't think I was going to be here, but hey, we're here."
The players know they haven't been this far before, but a big second-round win over powerhouse North Florida Christian (Tallahassee) has UC's confidence at an all-time high.
"No one on this team has a whole lot of experience to be going this far into the playoffs, but definitely we're all brothers on this team, and we all have the same aspirations to win state," senior offensive lineman Alex Bell said.
"It's a dream come true, and we worked so hard, but we never thought we'd be playing for the state championship. It's surreal," senior offensive lineman Derric Watson added.
The Christians know it won't be an easy road against Dade Christian. The Crusaders are undefeated and have won their three playoffs game by an average of 14 points. That fact isn't lost on Penland.
"You don't just show up to the state championship and they give you the trophy," he said. "You have to earn it, and it starts in practice, and just like we've done all year, we will practice hard."
The Christians and Crusaders will kick off at 1 p.m. Friday at the Citrus Bowl. Stay tuned to Channel 4 and News4Jax.com for complete coverage.

Alexei Nikolaevich Leont'ev (Russian: Алексей Николаевич Леонтьев
) (1903-1979), Soviet developmental psychologist, the founder of activity theory.
Biography Edit
A.N. Leont'ev worked with Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934) and Alexander Luria (1902-1977) from 1924 to 1930, collaborating on the development of a Marxist psychology as a response to behaviourism and the focus on the stimulus-response mechanism as explanation for human behaviour. Leont'ev left Vygotsky's group in Moscow in 1931, to take up a position in Kharkov. He continued to work with Vygotsky for some time but, eventually, there was a split, although they continued to communicate with one another on scientific matters (Veer and Valsiner, 1991). Leont'ev returned to Moscow in 1950 as Head of the Psychology Department at the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University. In 1966, Leont'ev became the first ever Dean of the newly established Faculty of Psychology at the Moscow State University, where he worked until his death in 1979. He died of a heart attack.
Scientific work Edit
Leont'ev's early scientific work was done in the framework Vygotsky's cultural-historical research program and focused on the exploration of the phenomenon of cultural mediation. Representative of this period is Leontiev's study on mediated memory in children and adults The development of higher forms of memory, 1931.
Leont'ev's own research school is based on the thorough psychological analysis of the phenomenon of activity. Systematic development of the psychological foundations of activity theory was started in the 1930-s by Kharkov group of psychologists headed by Leont'ev and included such researchers as Zaporozhets, Gal'perin, Zinchenko, Bozhovich, Asnin, Lukov, etc. In its fullest form, activity theory was subsequently developed and institutionalized as the leading psychological doctrine in the Soviet Union in the post-war period after Leont'ev had moved to Moscow and took a position at the Moscow State University.
For Leont'ev, 'activity' consisted of those processes "that realise a person's actual life in the objective world by which he is surrounded, his social being in all the richness and variety of its forms" (Leont'ev 1977). The core of the Leont'ev's work is the proposal that we can examine human processes from the perspective of three different levels of analysis. The highest, most general level is that of activity and motives that drive it. At the intermediate level are actions and their associated goals, and the lowest level is the analysis of operations that serve as means for the achievement of the higher-order goals.

The annual Austin event known as South by Southwest (SXSW) comprising interactive, film and music conferences and festivals wrapped up recently and John Mauro, president of the Jones School Technology Club, was there. He attended the interactive piece of SXSW and what is fondly called the Austin Startup Crawl. For four days he caught up with old friends, cutting-edge technologies and innovative startups.
"Capital Factory, the local startup accelerator, graciously hosted thousands of tech enthusiasts on Thursday night, and local startups were on the lookout for talent and eager to tell you about what they were up to," John said.
By Friday his first stop was a TechStars meet up. "TechStars mentors and invests in high potential startup web and software companies. They were answering questions for interested applicants and set up areas for the startups in the Boulder and San Antonio programs to lay out their schwag and pitch their startups."
Hundreds of new technology companies attend SXSW each year looking for investors, buyers, new clients, and employees. The interactive conference itself hosts many panels where leaders in technology introduce new applications and discuss the overall trend of interactive technology. There are scores of networking events hosted by industry leaders showcasing their startups and providing a glimpse into the future of the expanding technological industry.
An area called "Startup Village," served as a consolidated area in downtown Austin that featured new tech companies, investors, entrepreneurs, and digital creative thinkers. Startup Village is complimented by startup-related panels, networking events called "Meet Ups," pitch events, mentoring and coaching sessions and numerous parties and entertainment venues.
New or expanded products and companies that were either highlighted or introduced to the interactive event-goers included such notables as GroupMe, foursquare, TechStar, Captimo, Lytro and hundreds of others. Keynote speakers were Amber Case, author of "Ambient Location and the Future of the Interface;" Baratunde Thurston, comedian and technology-loving author of "How to Read the World;" Ray Kurzweil, technology visionary and futurist; and Jennifer Pahlka, founder and executive director of Code for America. Some past keynotes at the SXSW Interactive Festival have been such prominent thinkers as Felicia Day, Al Franken, Howard Rheingold and Mark Zuckerberg.
Jones School alumni who attended the SXSW interactive festival were Bill Roberson '11, Nathaniel Besser '11, David Droogleever '10 and Sowmya Jayaraman '11.

Indian coal giant struggles to meet domestic demandRajesh Kumar Singh
Published: February 11 2013 - 11:43AM
Coal India Ltd – which is set to build a $A1.4 billion railway link through its three richest mining regions – says the untapped pits will help the world's second-biggest thermal coal-importing nation end overseas purchases.
The 330-kilometre network, to be funded by the company and built by Indian Railways in five years, would free up 300 million tonnes of coal annually in the states of Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, Coal India chairman S. Narsing Rao said.
Indian power companies pay about 40 per cent more than local prices to import 70 million tonnes of coal, about 20 per cent of their annual consumption.
According to recent trade data, the value of Australian coal exports to India - which have crept above the value of coal exports to China - are worth $A5.5 billion a year.
"The railway line can eliminate the need for imports of thermal coal in five years," Mr Rao said.
"Given the reserves we have, we should not have to depend on other countries for electricity generation."
The state-owned company, which is the world's biggest producer of the fuel, needs to step up output to comply with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's 2012 directive to ensure adequate supply and prevent blackouts in an economy expanding at the slowest pace in a decade.
Failure to guarantee supplies to utilities will result in a penalty for the company, whose production growth has stalled in the past three years.
Stalled Projects Coal India shares have advanced 4 per cent in the past year, compared with an 11 per cent gain in the benchmark Sensitive Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The stock fell 1.5 per cent to 338.75 rupees on Friday in Mumbai.
Power projects worth at least $A34 billion announced by billionaires including Anil Ambani and Gautam Adani, have stalled because of fuel shortages.
A peak shortfall of 9 per cent in electricity supplies leads to outages that shave about 1.2 percentage points off India's annual economic growth, according to government estimates.
The company's proposal for the railway link has been delayed for more than six years, pending approval from the railway and environment ministries. The government last year formed an inter-ministerial panel to push the project following Mr Singh's order.
"The heavy penalty Coal India has to pay if it fails to supply its customers is driving it to do everything it can to boost production," said Deven Choksey, managing director at K.R. Choksey Shares & Securities in Mumbai.
Volumes, Prices Coal India, which must pay as much as 40 per cent of the value of any supply shortfall as penalty, reported a 19 per cent increase in profit to 30.8 billion rupees ($A573 million) for the second quarter ended September 30.
A rising wage bill suppressed revenue gains and led to earnings missing analyst estimates.
Coal India, which accounts for more than 80 per cent of the nation's output, last raised prices two years ago. It had cash worth more than $A11.6 billion as of September 30.
"The company's sales volumes are not increasing the way they should and there is no visibility on prices," said Rahul Jain, an analyst at CIMB Securities India in Mumbai, who has an equivalent of a sell rating for the stock.
"For commodity stocks, you need to have good volumes and prices. Both are missing here."
Of the 52 analysts who cover the company, 35 recommend purchasing the stock, while five advise selling it, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
India's annual thermal coal demand is expected to climb 43 per cent to 730 million tonnes by 2017, while supplies from local mines may increase 38 per cent to 565 million tonnes, the Planning Commission's energy adviser I.A. Khan said in an interview.
Cheaper local coal will lower the cost at existing plants, while ensuring energy security to upcoming projects.
Coal India has said it will start importing to meet its supply contracts. While the company's output is forecast to rise 6.4 per cent this year to a record 464 million tonnes, it will still fail to meet demand.
"Law and order issues have been the biggest impediment to output," Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal said last month.
Some mines in the eastern states of Odisha and Jharkhand remain shut for three days a month on average because of social unrest, Coal India personnel director R. Mohan Das said, without elaborating on the loss.
Delays in environment approvals and difficulties in acquiring land have also affected production, he said.
India, which generates 57 per cent of its electricity from coal, plans to add 118 gigawatts of generation capacity in the five years ending March 2017, Khan said.
Power companies added about 55,000 megawatts in the five years ended March 31, the most in a five-year period. The country has installed generation capacity of 211 gigawatts.
"India is doing everything to increase coal production," said Debasish Mishra, a partner at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India in Mumbai. "The railway plan needs to be supplemented with speedy approvals and efficient project management."

American 'Akira' Movie Concept Art Makeups Masaru
The live action cinematic adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira may be moving forward again under Warner Bros. and director Jaume Collet-Serra, but it remains to be seen if any of the art commissioned back when the movie was to be set in Neo Manhattan and star mostly white actors will move past the concept stage and into an eventual film. That said, it's become less outright entertaining to look at "what might have been" as each piece must now be viewed as "what may still be." Case in point, Howard Lau Design's newly discovered alleged "Akira Make-up FX Pitch," which digitally imagines what a child actor might look like once they're done up to look like the Esper known as Masaru. Take a look after the cut.
