THE county council has raised £237,145 from its rare and old book auctions after calling a halt to the sales following withering criticism of the process.
The figure is the total amount raised following a series of book auctions.
In the final sale, 30 lots of Worcestershire County Council books, mostly on travel and topography, were sold at Dominic Winter auction house in Gloucestershire yesterday.
High estimates on the books had auction experts expecting £16,000 on all the lots but brisk bidding raised £18,770, even though four lots failed to sell.
Critics have blasted the council's decision to sell the books saying they were done without public knowledge nor full discussions with interested parties.
The council claims the auctions are to streamline book stocks ready for a move from Worcester's Foregate Street library to the Hive in the Butts, saying they were under a legal duty to provide a "comprehensive and efficient" library service. However, they yesterday suspended further sales, pledging to discuss any public concerns.
Auction house experts who catalogued the lots said that many of the books would have cost more than their value to rebind, and they were only of any value to collectors and speculative bidders.
But critics including Worcester Civic Society remain unsettled at the way the sales were done.
Stephen Inman, civic society chairman, said: "If these books have no relevance and can be sold, then it begs the question why have we had them for the past 100 years or more?
"The fact is they were either bought or people have handed them over for the benefit of people in Worcestershire and now they have been sold.
"They could have been donated to the university, as universities are always looking for good books and well-stocked libraries."
A county council spokesman said: "There is no statutory requirement regarding book stocks either being retained or disposed of within the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964."

There is variation in the way that the different stages of reading are described and categorized.
One well known description of the stages is Chall's Stages of Reading Development:
Stage 0. Prereading The learner gains familiarity with the language and its sounds. A person in this stage becomes aware of sound similarities between words, learns to predict the next part in a familiar story, and may start to recognize a few familiar written words.
Stage 1. Initial Reading, or Decoding Stage
The learner becomes aware of the relationship between sounds and letters and begins applying the knowledge to text.
Stage 2. Confirmation, Fluency, Ungluing from Print
The learner, familiar with basic sound-symbol relationships and familiar with more words, improves decoding skills, expands the number of words recognized by site, and builds fluency.
Stage 3. Reading for Learning
The reader has enough reading skill to focus on content and learn new information and facts from reading.
Stage 4. Multiple Viewpoints
The reader at this stage begins to be able to analyze with they read, understand different points of view, and react critically to what they read.
Stage 5. Construction and Reconstruction - A World View
The student now has the ability to select reading material and is building a personal view or model of the world and truth.

New Sled Will Help EMS on the Trails
The new snowmobile/sled combination will allow for more timely responses to emergencies.
February 23, 2012—
Michigan Technological University's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) team is excited about a new snowmobile-pulled sled, with good reason.
"It means no more carrying someone out from the trails on the backboard," says Dustin Gaberdiel on this winter afternoon. "There's a hypothermia issue, too, " added the second-year computer networking and systems administration major from Newberry, extolling the time saved with the snowmobile and sled.
"We couldn't get out there to them very well either," said Nick Zochowski, second-year biomedical and mechanical engineering major from Newport, Mich.
The new setup is the latest equipment addition for the EMS group. With a highly equipped van, they now are capable of prepping anyone for an ambulance. They haven't had to use the snowmobile and sled yet, but they are trained in its use, and they've been at four ski meets so far this winter.
"It's a workhorse," says Jon Stone, of the snow machine that seats two riders and pulls the sled with a third volunteer standing behind the victim.
Stone is the University's emergency medical services director and has advised the group since its founding last year. Its members now include more than 30 students and several faculty and staff members. Volunteers are on call and cover all the hours the Tech Trails are in use.
The snowmobile/sled combo is part of a plan to get skiers to help quickly when they need it. Stone said he would like to get plastic skis for it in the future, to lighten the load.
The sled was a donation from Calumet Township, which replaced theirs. Similar rigs now exist in Bootjack, Adams Township, and Copper Harbor.
It's part of a coordinated effort with local emergency responders. "We've got a map with a grid for the whole trail system," Stone says. "That way, we can then get the patient to the closest spot for an ambulance."
Stone would like to use the sled beyond the snow season, too. He hopes to replace the skis with wheels and the snowmobile with an ATV to get to those joggers and bikers.
"We have training for fractures and spinal immobilization," he said, hoping he won't have to use that training with an ATV, either.
As for the current setup, the students sing its praises.
"It's well designed," said Danielle Boettger, a third-year economics major from Dearborn. "And it beats walking them out! They get heavy!"
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

GDB 39: Canucks have Sundin, we have Brule
Jason Gregor
January 07 2009 12:20PM
While everyone is focusing on the debut of Mats Sundin tonight, Oilers fans will see Gilbert Brule on the first line for the first time. Brule and Reddox took turns on the RW at the morning skate today, but Brule tipped me off that he will be on the wing tonight.
For Brule this is the first opportunity to play in a true offensive role in the NHL and he is excited.
"It's a great chance to think offence. I know that I just have to play a simple game and focus more on getting into spaces where I can score," said Brule.
The other aspect about Brule's game that should come in handy tonight against the pesky Canucks is his willingness to play gritty. With disturbers and pests like Kesler and Burrows, if Brule can bring that element tonight that could go a long way for him staying in the line-up, at least until Hemsky returns.
Jacques skates
JF Jacques skated with his teammates for the first time this season, but he is still a long ways away from playing. Jacques' back is still sore from the surgery and he is looking at getting in a game sometime in February. But that will be in the AHL with the Springfield Falcons and it is very doubtful that he will play with the Oilers this season.
Steve MacIntyre saw the doctor yesterday and it looks like he will be cleared to play in ten days, but the way the fourth line is playing right now it will be hard for him to get in the line-up. Expect him to get a two-week conditioning stint in Springfield to try and get in game shape.
Dwayne Roloson will start in goal tonight for the Oilers. Shawn Horcoff said his back is feeling much better today, and it shouldn't give him any trouble tonight.
Mats Sundin will skate with Kyle Wellwood and former Camrose Kodiak Mason Raymond tonight, while Pavol Demitra will skate with the Sedin sisters.
The Canucks long term plan is to use Demitra and Sundin as a pair, with the Sisters on the other line, and the other winger will be on a rotation basis, based on who is playing well and which guy has chemistry with the specific pair.
Well it was nice to see someone other than Reddox, Brodziak or Strudwick score.

Of course, he isn't Hemsky. Horcoff's had a rough game (I'm fairly sure he's playing hurt, but still) and Penner's back to being invisible.

Yeah; I'm not happy with how MacT ran that game, and outside of Nilsson and Souray there isn't much to be happy about.

Never happened according to OILERMINDCONTROL - Oiler Video VP Metz has insured that this embarrassment is over - this must of been an internet IP mixup with another feed not related to Rexall sports (of course), Gregor will have the goods - as his show is archived internally via engineering - he has to guard his credentials and have respect for the other media - so this means that this is an urban myth that never occurred - area 51.

Not really any "goods" per se. Just a bunch of sportscasters bs'ing before a scrum like they were in a bar. Funny thing, they almost appeared human. I'm sure they'll be more mindful in the future.

COLUMBUS -- Does a cigarette butt found on the driveway outside a slain Portage County couple's home tie a Lorain County man executed four years ago for another murder to the scene?
And if it does, should the man convicted of the former receive a new trial?
Those are questions that could be answered by the Ohio Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments Tuesday in the case of Tyrone Noling, who continues to deny he shot and killed Bearnhardt and Cora Hartig during a botched robbery more than 20 years ago.
Legal counsel for Noling asked justices Tuesday to allow DNA testing of the cigarette butt, and they questioned whether state law related to DNA testing and death penalty cases is unconstitutional.
"Mr Noling is innocent of the crime, and he at the very least deserves a new trial," said Carrie E. Wood, an attorney from the Ohio Innocence Project.
But prosecutors said Noling has had his days in court, that further DNA testing of the evidence would not definitively prove his innocence and that the latest legal proceedings are meant to delay his execution.
"While we want to get to the truth as much as anybody else, this is not one of those cases where DNA has some relevance," said Portage County Prosecutor Victor Vigluicci.
Noling was convicted for the April 1990 murder of the Hartigs, an elderly couple found shot to death in the kitchen of their home in Atwater.
Noling was twice indicted for the crime and convicted about five years later, based on testimony of three other young men who were involved with him in a string of robberies in Alliance, according to documents. He was sentenced to death for the crime.
But Noling has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, and his co-defendants recanted their testimony, according to a merit brief filed by Noling's legal counsel.
Noling also has argued that there is evidence of potential other perpetrators, including Daniel Wilson, who was executed in 2009 for the murder of a woman who he locked in the trunk of a car before setting it on fire.
Noling wants a cigarette butt found in the driveway outside the Hartigs home tested to see if it matches Wilson's DNA. Earlier tests by law enforcement determined the cigarette was not smoked by Noling or his co-defendants.
Justices questioned whether the DNA test would ultimately exonerate Noling of the crime.
"It's still not proof that that individual was the perpetrator," said Justice Paul Pfeifer, who has been outspoken in his views against the death penalty. "It would be proof that a cigarette he touched was in the victims' driveway."
Justice Terrence O'Donnell added, "Even if you know that this was in fact Daniel Wilson's DNA on the cigarette butt recovered from the driveway, it's not outcome determinative...."
Wood said the test results, along with other evidence -- namely, comments from Wilson's foster brother potentially connecting him to the crime -- could prompt a new trial.
According to court filings, "It is well-documented that Wilson had a history of home invasion and victimizing the elderly. And, Wilson lived a little over a mile away from the Hartig's Atwater, Ohio, home."
But Vigluicci countered that further DNA tests would not prove Noling's innocence, citing confessions and comments from Noling and his co-defendants. He also said early courts have already ruled on the DNA issue, Noling was convicted despite earlier testing showing the cigarette was not his, and comments from Wilson's foster brother were unreliable.
"This court has already had this issue before it previously," he said. "This is their second attempt at subsequent DNA testing of this cigarette butt. ... This case is done, as far as the appellate process...."
He added, "This is speculation to the N-th degree, and it's building hearsay upon speculation upon hearsay."
The DNA issue in the Noling case has been discussed for years. In 2010, then-Gov. Ted Strickland and Attorney General Richard Cordray sent a letter to Vigluicci urging him to allow testing of the cigarette butt.
There is no timeline for a decision on the matter from the Ohio Supreme Court.

Small to large scale companies adapting to this new technology, cloud computing is beneficial for all types of companies. I have found some advantage as well as disadvantage of Cloud computing.So what is the disadvantage of using cloud computing for the perspective of business growth? If anyone have past experience please share your thoughts of mind.
You say you've found advantages and disadvantages. Why not share your own views and experiences to get the discussion started?
I have seen many article on the web explaining both advantage as well as disadvantage of using cloud computing. Well we know cloud computing offers many advantage to an organization of any size. I do not have any personal experience about the disadvantage of cloud computing. But want more information if anyone have or faced the disadvantage of cloud computing.
It seems that "cloud computing" is a marketing term (or at least it was said that way on a youtube Google presentation). A better term for this discussion might be SaaS (software as a service). I guess the biggest disadvantage I see is that you would not be housing your own data but have given control of it to someone else.
Sent from my XT316 using Tapatalk 2
You're right that it's a marketing term cloud computing but it doesn't mean online data. To me, cloud computing is being able to control the bandwidth of resources on-demand. For example, you can build a cluster server using Amazon EC2. You can start w/ say 5 servers and w/ a single click of a button it's now running on 10 servers. Another way of saying is not having dedicated number of servers for your business. For example, let say I need to convert 1 billion word documents to pdf per year. To do this, I may have to purchase many computers that's only used once per year. Instead of that, I'll rent the servers from Amazon EC2 for a week which will be substantially less cost.
I dont see how it could include offline data. Depends what you mean by "online data" I suppose.
The biggest disadvantage I have heard of regarding cloud computing was the one that was shut down by the US. Everyone was locked out of their data, the company providing the service had their bank account locked so the hosting providers didn't get paid and everyone's data got deleted before they could arrange to move it to a different service.
Cloud computing != Cloud storage . At least to me.
As said, this term Cloud Computing is marketing/stupid term. Many thinks it's Cloud Storage where I think of it as Cloud Processing.
If what you say is considered cloud computing then every web site is cloud computing. The very first e-mail system could be considered cloud computing. I'm interested in hearing your version of what cloud computing is.
That's not specific to cloud computing. The US has been known for grabbing all kinds of servers as they see fit. Cloud, shared, VPN, dedicated, whatever. So that's not a disadvantage of cloud computing but rather a disadvantage of hosting in the US.
The servers for the cloud computing service I mentioned were not hosted in the US. The US took legal action in New Zealand against the owners of the cloud computing service to get their bank account frozen so that they couldn't pay for the hosting in the dozens of countries around the wold where that cloud computing service was hosted. All the hosting for the cloud computing service got shut down across Europe and Asia because the bills for the hosting couldn't be paid because of the New Zealand bank accounts being frozen.
I'll admit that I have a shaky understanding of what cloud computing is, but I've been led to believe that, instead of having all your data stored on one computer—as in traditional web hosting—it is spread over a number of computers, meaning it's less likely to get lost. Whether or not that is true, though, I'm not sure, so I'd be interested in what people have to say on that.
To me, I only know of 1 technology that I redeem as Cloud Services. That's called Hadoop. What you said is what Hadoop does partially. For example, let say you have 1 TB file that needs to be processed w/ a requirement that needs to be completed under 5 minute. This is nearly impossible to do on a single computer. So what Hadoop does is split the 1 TB file into something called HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System). Essentially, it splits and put it into (possibly) over 100 computers. It also have default backup of 3 copies. Since you are storing 1TB file, it's techically storing 3TB into HDFS. Now, the other half is the processing. Whenever you send the command to process that file, all computer who stores block of the file will execute. So, if the file is split 20 different computer then all 20 computers will fire off on the local file block. This is how parallel processing is done.
Yes, I have Hadoop Certification! though... i'm not doing this professionally yet....
Here is a good article about the disadvantages of cloud computing. Its main issue seems to be with the big cloud providers and their pricing model.
An answer to the question "advantages / disadvantages of Cloud Computing?" is a bit problematic, I think, for it depends on the definition of "What is Cloud Computing?" - and there are numerous variations in the definition.Hosting providers can use it as a trendy marketing term for all the products they wish to sell. - In science it can be used for distributed computing projects (as sg707 in post #13: "Cloud Computing" = "Cloud Processing"). - SaaS (software as a service, Kiwiheretic in #4 ) is something like that: instead of for example a MS-Word program on each office desktop there is one common MS-Word on a central server elsewhere. Others can use a definition more as "Cloud Storage" (as Google Docs <inclusive "cloud processor" = external hosted editor>, or an external dedicated server for all data documents in an intranet office setting). *)
That brings us back to the question of topic starter sunilmkt: what kind(s) of "Cloud Computing" do you mean? - Or do you have enough information already from the discussions above?
*) I think the "Cloud Computing" term is a catch-all, more or less like the definition of a "Table".Some say: it is a horizontal surface with 4 legs on the floor. - Others say: no, 3 legs is good too. - Others say: no, I sell a big assortment of 1 leg tables. - Others say: no, the legs of my bed table are not on the floor. - Others say: no, what do you think about wall mounted folding tables without legs? - Others say: no, my drawing table is not horizontal. - Others say: no, a <table> is an html element. Etc. - And the question: "What are the advantages / disadvantages of a table (compared with ...)?"

BAYTOWN - A man has been accused of taking two small children with him as he shoplifted at a Baytown Walmart.
Devon Glen Colquitt, 22, was charged with theft, a Class A misdemeanor.
A loss and prevention officer at a Walmart in the 4900 block of Garth Road saw Colquitt with two boys, 3 and 5 years old, on Saturday at 3:15 p.m..
According to police, the loss and prevention officer saw Colquitt unwrap two Black and Decker Matrix 20-volt cordless drills. The drills are valued at $159.76. He then placed the drills into a backpack, and exited the store with the two boys without paying for the merchandise, police said.
The loss and prevention officer detained Colquitt and recovered the drills from the backpack. Police were called to the scene and Colquitt was transported to the Baytown city jail.
An officer took the two children, who were Colquitt's nephews, to the Baytown Police Department. The children were later released to their father.
Colquitt's criminal history includes a charge of aggravated assault with a child under 14 years old and a shoplifting charge at a Walmart in Houston.

A sap is an entangling weapon. It is essentially a rock curled into a cloth rag. Used primarily as a stun weapon, the sap is not a very common item. It deals D4 nonlethal damage. The sap may be used to knock out opponents wearing only leather armor or less. When used by an assassin, any hit knocks out an opponent; for anyone else any hit stuns and 4 or more points of effective damage knocks out opponent.

People who care about nothing other than themselves and their self interests. If given a chance they will try to bring down anyone around them, by acting as tho they are above and beyond their intelligence. In their altered view of reality no one is or ever will be better than them in any way, shape, or form. The sad truth is that they are usually too stuck up and self centered to see that they drive everyone away from them. On the outside they may seem to be smarter than anyone else, but on the inside they are just as dumb and simple minded as the rest of us. This isn't true for all the students, because there is a very small percent that are smart enough to understand when enough is enough.

Security Council: Statement by Ambassador Wittig on UN Peacekeeping
(Security Council: Statement as delivered by Ambassador Wittig in an Open Debate on UN Peacekeeping)
"Mr. President,
We welcome Pakistan's initiative for an Open Debate on UN peacekeeping and its multidimensional nature. International peace and security lie at the heart of the United Nations, and UN Peacekeeping surely is the most visible instrument of the United Nations in this regard. It thus deserves our constant attention.
At the outset, I would like to reiterate Germany's longstanding support for UN Peacekeeping. It is our goal to strengthen the UN system and the missions on the ground. It is in this spirit that we call for a fresh look on how to overcome current gaps and deficiencies. Close cohesion between mandates and required capacities is crucial for the success of peacekeeping missions. At the same time we believe that an increased use of modern equipment and technologies is necessary to improve the operational effectiveness of peacekeeping operations.
Mr. President,
My country aligns itself with the statement by the European Union.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to an initiative Germany has, together with a number of partners, developed during the last years. If implemented, this initiative could make a substantial contribution towards a truly multidimensional UN Peacekeeping. I am talking about the creation of a "Group of Friends for UN Police".
Sustainable peace can only be achieved through justice and security and by the re-establishment of the rule of law. The police segment of UN Peacekeeping has proven crucial in assisting host countries in developing critical peacebuilding priorities and strategies. It is also key in national programmes of security sector reform and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration.
The UN Police is mastering its wide-ranging and complex tasks with commitment and professionalism. It needs our support and appreciation.
Our initiative to establish a Group of Friends aims at fostering political support for the UN Police. We want to strengthen the capacity and the impact of UN Police. The Group should include all main stakeholders involved in UN police missions and facilitate the informal exchange of ideas. It shall create a sense of common purpose and be a place to launch concrete initiatives. It shall provide a bridge between UN Headquarters in New York and capitals.
The idea of creating a Group of Friends of UN Police was introduced at the October 2012 UN Police Conference in Berlin and has since evolved further. Such a group would be complementary to the existing Strategic Police Advisory Group in order to advance sustained political engagement in support of UN Police.
We would expect the Group of Friends to consist of dedicated Member States who are actively engaged and interested in developing UN police peacekeeping as well as partners from the UN Secretariat. Other key partners and supporters could be invited to join. The constitutive meeting of the Group of Friends is planned for spring this year.
Mr. President,
Together, we can further strengthen the role of UN Peacekeeping, its capacities and its impact on the ground. This is a joint endeavour and the support of all Member states is key.
I thank you."

LANSING, Mich. - Gov. Rick Snyder and legislative leaders say financially strapped local governments and schools in Michigan will have more control of their future under a proposed alternative to the emergency manager law rejected by voters.
Officials unveiled a plan late Wednesday that gives communities and school districts found to be in a financial emergency four choices: an emergency manager, bankruptcy, mediation or a consent agreement with the state like the one in Detroit.
Read more: Detroit likely gets emergency financial manager early 2013
The plan gets its first hearing Thursday before a House committee.
Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel says leaders worked to create "something we feel is good, sound public policy that very clearly recognizes ... the will of the voters."
Voters rejected Proposal 1 in November. The state has been operating under a previous law that gives managers fewer powers.

New! Check out these publications
Iron in Drinking Water
This publication extensively covers the aspects of having iron-contaminated water systems. The pamphlet is comprehensive and includes detailed sections on the effects of iron in drinking water, its indicators, its aspects and also available treatment options. It serves as a valuable resource for anyone even suspect of iron contamination.
Nitrate in Drinking Water
Nitrate, which can seep into groundwater from septic tanks, animal waste, fertilizers and sewage sludge, is a health concern for infants, pregnant women and people with low stomach acid. This publication includes facts about nitrate along with information on testing your well, treating contaminated water and preventing contamination. It also lists the symptoms of exposure to high levels of nitrate.
Radon in Drinking Water
Radon in water could pose a risk for health by inhalation and ingestion. Radon is released from the water to the air by showering or other household uses. This publication includes facts about radon as well as information on radon reduction techniques.
Arsenic in Drinking Water
Arsenic is a naturally occurring toxic element commonly found in groundwater. It needs to be tested for since it is odorless, colorless and tasteless. Although it is generally present through natural means, there are industrial and agricultural practices that can lead to groundwater contamination with arsenic-containing compounds.
Wells and Septic System Information
The wells and septic website shows how wells and septic systems function, how they interact with ground water and how a homeowner can maintain them both.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was bilingual and multi-generational, which made for a really interesting evening. And we certainly gave thanks to have family and friends around and live in a country like the USA.
So we wound up cooking turkeys three ways this year:
--brined with bourbon and smoked with cherry wood
--seasoned w barbecue rub (roughly equal parts salt, pepper, paprika, and brown sugar) and cooked on a beer can
--stuffed under the skin with truffle butter and roasted on a charcoal burning rotisserie
To gauge the popularity of each method, we used the "carcass test" (which carcass was picked clean to the bone the fastest).
The brined bird was the hands down favorite. Moist, flavorful meat, with a bronzed skin and pronounced smoke flavor. It was even reasonably crisp skinned thanks to a timing error. Smoke temp fell somewhere between 4 and 5 p.m., so we brushed the bird with melted butter and finished it by indirect grilling on a hot gas grill (400 degrees for the last 50 minutes). Like I always say, no such thing as a mistake in the kitchen--just a new dish waiting to be discovered.
The truffle butter bird had the meatiest texture. We kept basting the skin with the pan drippings (which included melted truffle butter).
The rubbed beer can bird was tasty enough, but it seemed sort of two dimensional next to the brined bird, which had flavor down to the bone.
How did YOUR bird come out? What technique worked best for YOU this year? What are you chomping at the bit to try NEXT year?

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Less than 24 hours after the Saint Leo volleyball team clinched a win to put them one game over .500 in the Sunshine State Conference, the Lions took the court against the visiting Florida Tech Panthers in an exciting Saturday afternoon win. In front of a cheering Family Weekend crowd, the Lions defeated the Panthers by a 3-0 score (26-24, 25-20, 25-19).
The first set of the afternoon was an exciting one for the home crowd, as fans watched the visiting Panthers lead for the majority of the set, only to cheer as the Lions came from behind and pounded home a 26-24 set win.
With the momentum in their favor, the Lions took to the court for set two and unleashed an offensive attack that sent the Panthers into the break with a 2-0 deficit.
After a short break, the Lions took to the court in the hopes of taking home a 3-0 victory, but the Panthers would not accept defeat lightly. After a back and forth battle, however, the Lions took home the set by a 25-19 score as well as a 3-0 SSC win.
Juniors Lauren Campbell and Tawni Warren led both teams in kills, notching 15 and 13, respectively. Campbell also tallied 11 digs, while junior libero Yaidimar Santiago led all players with 13 digs.
Adding to her already stellar setting resume, senior setter Jaclyn Mailoto collected 36 assists in the contest, improving her assists per set percentage to 11.55 this season. She has 752 total assists on the year.
As a team, the Lions collected 42 kills and 48 digs in the contest, as well as 10 service aces. The team forced 19 Florida Tech errors.
The Saint Leo volleyball team will return to the court next weekend when they travel to the University of West Georgia to compete in the Sunshine Crossover tournament. Their first contest of the weekend is set for Friday, October 18 against Shorter at 4:30 p.m.

Keighley Festival will hold flagship events at Cliffe Castle and East Riddlesden Hall for the first time in more than a decade.
The entertainment extravaganza's annual schools art exhibition – this year the Kabinet of Keighley Kuriosities – will be hosted by Cliffe Castle Museum.
Meanwhile, the National Trust hall will be the setting for a day of spooky activities for hundreds of local schoolchildren.
Another major new festival event will be a medieval day organised by the Cliffe Castle Park Conservation Group.
Keighley Festival spokesman, Malcolm Hanson, said he was "over the moon" the two visitor attractions were getting involved with the July 5-13 jamboree.
He added the plan was to make the flagship event even bigger by inviting other local organisations to provide extra entertainment and activities.
He said: "It's a big step forward for us.
"Hopefully, Cliffe Castle and East Riddlesden Hall will be in it every year from now on.
"Despite the fact we've found it harder than ever to get funding this year, we're up and running and happy!"
Keighley Festival involves more than 50 events organised mostly by local community groups and venues.
Planned attractions include a film festival, tea dance, knitting, curry night, Asian dancing and bandstand concerts.
The Cricketers Arms and the Exchange Arts Centre will host live music, and the Boltmakers Arms will stage nightly events for the first time.
Stage entertainment includes the annual One Amazing Night by local schools plus children's play Holes from KYDZ Keighley Youth Theatre.
There will be community events and galas in areas including Denholme, Oakworth, Parkwood, Bracken Bank and Braithwaite.
Organisations planning events include the Vintage Carriages Trust, Jam Radio, Haworth NOTHY Club, Keighley Model Engineers and the Sangat Centre.

"Sitting next to Solange Knowles at the small, exclusive Tom Ford presentation. After admiring her chic outfit and the leopard headwrap (not unlike what I styled Rihanna with in a recent issue), Solange secretly confided before the show that she was there to support her sister who would be walking the runway that night for Tom. Solange said Beyonce was nervous that morning but in the end, she did beautifully.
After the show, Solange and I tweeted back and forth about how chic she looked at the show! (And Beyonce of course, was to die for!)"

Now, those of us who have read Steven's books know his mantra for the grill: keep it hot, keep it clean, and keep it lubricated. I've even bought grill pads and I've got one of Steven's grill oilers for the purpose:
I've been reading a few other grilling books lately (as there's still snow on the ground up here), and a few of them have been the excellent Weber grilling books by Jamie Purviance. He recommends that you oil the food rather than the grill grates, as oiling the grates creates bitter flavors as the oil burns off. I've tried this on my own cooks and it works, but there's always the danger of the food getting greasy - especially chicken, for some odd reason.
I clean my grill grates regularly and I always oil them after cleaning as they are cast-iron grates and they need the seasoning. High-temp grilling tends to burn that off on any grill whether it's charcoal or gas. But even if the grates are clean, seasoned and well-oiled the food sometimes tends to stick even if the grill marks are burned in (in cooking terms, the food sometimes sticks even if it's ready to "release"). As a result I sometimes end up oiling both the food and the grill grates, which works.
So I'm putting the question to the board - what works best for you? Oiling the food, oiling the grill, or a bit of both?

It's been said that he is a master backstage politician, and that he has worked his way up enough to deserve the WWE Championship. He succeeded in this goal at Summerslam.
I'm not very impressed with him, and I haven't

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Workers will continue to repair a barrier on I-95 near Emerson after it was struck by a semi that was involved in a deadly, wrong-way crash early Wednesday morning.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says one northbound lane of I-95 at the San Diego Road overpass will be closed Wednesday and Thursday from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for emergency bridge repairs due to Wednesday morning's crash.
A 46-year-old man driving south in the northbound lane of Interstate 95 about 1:40 a.m. Wednesday died in a crash that involved another car and a big rig that kept all the northbound lanes of the highway closed for 5½ hours.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Jimmy Carracter, of Jacksonville, was driving a Lexus south just before the Emerson Street exit when he struck a Honda Civic northbound in the center lane. The Lexus spun around and was then struck by an car carrier, which left the travel lanes and hit and damaged the guard rail near San Diego Road.
Carracter was transported to Shands Jacksonville Medical Center, where he died. The driver of the Honda, Lauren Conville, 24, sustained minor injuries. Her passenger and the driver of the car carrier were not injured.
"My understanding is the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office had several calls in reference to a vehicle traveling southbound in northbound (lanes), and they were attempting to intercept at the time of the crash," said FHP Sgt. Dylan Bryan.
Troopers say blood-alcohol tests on Carracter are pending.
All northbound lanes of I-95 in that area were blocked until about 7:20 a.m.

HOUSTON - Researchers in Baltimore are using the Pap smear to spot ovarian and endometrial cancer. Both are deadly forms of the disease for which there are currently no screening tests.
The Pap smear has proven to be a simple, effective test for cervical cancer. The drop in deaths from the disease has made it the gold standard screening tool.
Now researchers are trying to apply the test's success to ovarian and endometrial cancer.
"One of the reasons we're so excited about this research is that there are no screening tests for ovarian cancer," said Luis Diaz, M.D., an associate professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins University. "It's such a deadly disease because it is detected so late."
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University assembled a list of genetic mutations common in ovarian and endometrial cancers. They then developed a test that could spot these mutations in fluid taken from a Pap smear.
"In 100 percent of endometrial cancers, we can find the exact same mutation in a tumor and a Pap smear sample," said Diaz.
They were also able to detect nearly half of ovarian cancers.
The researchers compared Pap smear samples from healthy women and those already diagnosed with the disease. One of the most significant findings is they didn't find any false positives.
"If you were told you have a diagnosis of cancer and you don't, not only is that anxiety provoking but you have to undergo lots of unnecessary tests that can be invasive and dangerous," said Diaz.
So far, the test has only been studied in the lab. Researchers hope the have a version for the doctor's office ready in three to five years.
About 20,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year. 40,000 are diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Diaz and his colleagues have invested in a company that is designing and marketing the test.

HOUSTON - Police need help finding a suspect accused of shooting a man eight times in the chest during an altercation that began in a car.
Jeffery Robertson, 34, has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Houston police said Robertson, 29-year-old Dion White, a third man and one woman were inside a vehicle Monday at 11 p.m. when Robertson pulled out a gun and started yelling at White, who was driving. Robertson then opened fire, shooting White, officials said, before White jumped out and ran on Foster at Yellowstone streets in southeast Houston.
"We all came outside, we heard about six shots," said George Bernard, who lives in the neighborhood. "Then we heard it again four more times."
Robertson also got out of the car and fired at the driver as he ran off, investigators said. White eventually collapsed in a ditch.
"It's unknown why they came to this location. Apparently, there was an altercation that started in the vehicle that led to the outside of the car," said C. Cegielski with the Houston Police Department.
White was taken to Ben Taub Hospital in critical condition.
Anyone with information regarding Robertson's whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

It doesn't get much easier for an opposition when it starts getting asked such questions as this: ''Mr Hockey, will you ever get a better position in opposition than $1.50 a litre in petrol and detention centres burning?''
The shadow treasurer, Joe Hockey had bobbed up on Wednesday to attack the government over inflation which, due largely to the natural disasters over the summer, had spiked for the March quarter above 3 per cent. While that was Hockey's main moment for the week, Tony Abbott's entire schedule was dictated by government misery.
His tour of fear began in Christmas Island to exploit the impotence of the government over asylum seekers. It moved to Whyalla to reinforce negative perceptions about the carbon tax and add pepper to local union claims that the steel city would be wiped off the map.
From there, Abbott went to Alice Springs to highlight his own special interest in Aboriginal disadvantage and hang a lantern over the government's lack of progress in doing anything about it.
Abbott is spoilt for choice at the moment such are the many battles that the government is fighting. Wherever he goes there is a ready-made backdrop for him to criticise the government.
The government's problems are exacerbated by what some MPs report is a nasty, personal dislike in their electorates of Julia Gillard. Her clothes, her nose, her gender, even her boyfriend are all considered fair game.
If they don't like you in politics, everything is a problem but the personal nastiness against Gillard is something new, one MP told this column.
No one in government is naive about how dire the present situation is, least of all the Prime Minister. In recent days, Gillard has told those around her that the next four months will be the toughest yet but, if Labor comes through, it will be the stronger for it.
It is consistent with her initial approach after the election that only policy delivery over the long term will turn things around for Labor.
That four-month period for which she is girding her charges starts with next week's federal budget, which we keep being told is going to be ''tough'', and then encompasses the legislation for the mining tax, and release of details of the carbon tax.
Bear in mind the government is already at odds with industry, big business, mining, the clubs and hotels and others. Gillard and her ministers are anticipating more enemies after the budget.
For example, the private health insurance lobby is sitting on ''research'' about premium prices, which it will use to scare the pants off people when the budget again tries to means test private cover.
Against all this, one would think everyone in the Coalition would be happy, especially as the opposition is sitting on a 47 per cent primary vote while the government is as popular as carp.
But in recent weeks, some frustrations have emerged. Common complaints concern a lack of policy and that the public espousal of ideas is not being encouraged.
People point to Hockey's recent effort in which he promoted the same tax rate for income, trusts and companies. He was jumped on internally for suggesting trusts be taxed and backed away rapidly. Hockey was trying to spark a wider conversation about equitable tax rates across the board to avoid tax avoidance and lower income taxes.
At the end of last year, Abbott acknowledged fear alone would not win him the next election and he set up a policy development process using the Liberal think-tank, the Menzies Research Centre, with the aim of having ideas ready to roll from the end of this year.
In addition, Abbott has wheeled out a few nuggets himself in recent weeks, most notably further ideas for welfare reform and more spending on mental health. While welcomed, these were seen predominantly as spoilers for the budget which will contain comprehensive measures in both areas.
Abbott's budget-in-reply next week is also expected to contain a policy proposal, possibly in tax reform.
Despite this, some Liberals believe the party should be doing more now to exploit the government's position.
''This mob is so bad, there's a big void out there for a couple of ideas,'' said one.
Labor, he said, could not possibly have such a bad election campaign a second time around so hoping the government just falls over is not enough.
This view, however, is still the minority.
Remember how fragile the Coalition looked just two months ago when it was riven by internal fights over policy direction?
Gillard's announcement of the carbon tax was the circuit-breaker to all that.
So, while the government struggles, petrol is $1.50 a litre and detention centres burn, there is no point making yourself a distraction.
