Steele forges ahead to 25-5A lead
Updated 11:31 pm, Friday, January 20, 2012
Steele point guard Elena Gumbs has always been a basketball player first, but still considers herself a pretty good quarterback. She grew up in Las Vegas playing organized football before giving up the sport when she moved to Texas in 2005.
That multi-sport background came in handy in No. 6 Steele's 55-48 win over No. 7 Judson on Friday night, which gave the host Knights sole possession of first place in District 25-5A.
The 5-foot-4 senior had the highlight of the game when she heaved a ball the length of the court to teammate McKenzie Calvert, who sank a 3-pointer from the corner.
The throw would have made Steele's Nebraska-bound QB Tommy Armstrong proud.
Sports Channel
"That was just my football instinct," said Gumbs, a Rice signee. "I knew I could make that pass."
The play capped a 9-2 run that turned a six-point Steele lead into a 13-point advantage with 3:39 left in the game. Gumbs finished with 17 points and five steals. Calvert, a sophomore committed to Baylor, led all scorers with 18 points.
Up to that point, the Knights (19-7, 5-0 District 25-5A) and Rockets (22-6, 3-2) were mired in a defensive struggle. Judson made just 3 of 15 first-quarter field goals. Steele made just two shots in the second quarter, but still held a 26-18 halftime lead.
"I thought we handled their defensive pressure tonight, and that was the key," Steele coach Kari Wallace said. "And I thought our defense stepped it up and they had trouble adapting."
The Rockets remained cold. They sank just 1 of 10 from long range and were 7 for 20 on free throws. Post Simone Fields was their bright spot, netting an efficient 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting.
In the fourth, Judson looked to cut the deficit to four after a steal, but Steele post Erika Chapman made a block on the fast-break attempt. Freshman Kyra Lambert answered with a fast-break put-in for the Knights, shortly before Gumbs' game-breaking deep toss to Calvert.
After a slow start, Steele has won 13 of its last 15 — even with a starting lineup that features just one senior (Gumbs), two sophomores and a freshman.
"I wouldn't say I'm a babysitter, but it is like (I'm) raising them," Gumbs said with a laugh. "They're growing up."

Just got a call from the Mets, who added Class AA first baseman Mike Carp to their 40-man roster. Carp was the Sterling Award winner for the B-Mets and was the club's 2006 minor-league player of the year.
Carp batted .299 with 17 HR, 29 2B and 72 RBI for Binghamton. His .403 OBP ranked sixth in the Eastern League.
The Mets' 40-man now has 34 players. Today's move will allow the club to protect Carp in the Dec. 11 Rule 5 draft, which is held during the Winter Meetings in Vegas. Today was the deadline to add players to the 40-man.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/11/2012 (1748 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Meteorologists warn a severe winter storm is heading to Manitoba.
Warning preparedness meteorologist John Paul Cragg said the weather service now expects the storm system en route to Manitoba will be more intense than initially anticipated.
Southern Manitoba, including the city of Winnipeg, is under a winter storm warning.
Environment Canada said a Colorado low is poised to affect southern Manitoba and Winnipeg over the weekend, as the storm system is expected to bring 20 to 30 centimetres of snow.
Snow is expected to be the heaviest during the day Saturday, with areas near the Turtle Mountains and east of Riding Mountain National Park receiving as much as 40 centimetres.
Cragg said Environment Canada will revise its forecast to a winter storm warning, as 25 cm of snow, blowing snow and freezing rain are expected to bring near white-out conditions.
"It's starting to rev up and it's bad," he said this morning.
Storm could break records
Cragg said the storm is just starting to affect parts of Saskatchewan, and some areas have very poor visibility. He said the worst of the storm will hit Manitoba on Saturday, and treacherous conditions will affect roadways late Friday and into Saturday morning.
The snowstorm may be on track to break late-fall snow records. The largest one-day snowfall in November in Winnipeg was recorded in 1919 when 31 centimetres fell on the city.
(For the trivia buffs out there: the greatest one-day snowfall ever in Winnipeg was 38.1 centimetres on March 4, 1935, according to Environment Canada. See more snowfall stats below.)
Cragg said motorists should avoid all travel.
"Saturday itself is going to be really bad. The worst of it will hit Saturday," he said.
RCMP Cpl. Miles Hiebert said drivers should use caution and reduce their speed on roadways. If possible, he said to avoid any unnecessary travel during bad weather.
"Caution will be the word of the day," Hiebert said.
Province's plows prepared
The province's snow-clearing crews will be out in full force this weekend, and motorists should beware.
The Infrastructure and Transportation Department issued an alert telling motorists to be on the lookout for snow-clearing equipment, warning that crews will be deployed as needed around the clock.
The Manitoba government is responsible for maintaining a 19,000-kilometre highway system.
The department reminded motorists to stay well back of snow-clearing equipment and never to pass a working plow from behind. It also advised drivers to slow down when passing approaching plows. All such equipment is equipped with flashing blue warning lights.
Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation has a winter operations budget of more than $33 million. About $14 million is set aside for annual snow clearing.

Last Updated: 11/26/2013
The Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) is an effort by the California Department of Water Resources to address longstanding ecosystem degradation and endangered species decline of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The BDCP also includes, as a proposed alternative, the building of two tunnels underneath a large portion of the delta to provide greater water supply reliability to water conveyed south from the northern portion of the state. The City of Roseville of Roseville remains very concerned over how the BDCP could undermine the reliability of water we receive from Folsom Reservoir. Another draft of the BDCP and its related environmental documents is scheduled to be released for public review by the California Department of Water Resources on Friday, December 13. A 120 day public review period is expected. The BDCP is likely to be over 25,000 pages in length and the City of Roseville is working with its regional partners to undertake a thorough technical review of the document to understand how the BDCP will impact Roseville. To learn more about the BDCP, Roseville's concerns and how you can get engaged on this issue, go to www.ProtectOurFolsomWater.com.

I don't think lovers should be listed as family. They aren't married so I think it shouln't count.--Nintendo-Fan (talk) 07:20, December 13, 2009 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan
- Is it 1950 again? Why would two people need to get married before being seen as family?
- Besides, it would mean Kushina Uzumaki and the Fourth Hokage would not be seen as family, nor would Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 00:52, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Still it wasn't official. It's the same thing with Naruto and Minato, we all knew they were related but it wasn't listed as family was it? Even if it was blatantly clear. I apologise if I seem insulting but in sticking with my arguement.--Nintendo-Fan (talk) 04:24, December 14, 2009 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan
- I think you're contradicting yourself a little there. Or, rather, being simply ignorant. I can understand the non-married relationship argument, but your example of Minato and Naruto is well, completely irrelevant because they are related and family, regardless if he (Minato) died before your cultural view of family took place. Family in this sense is persons related or in a serious, monogamous relationship, using Kurenai and Asuma as an example; they have a son and are a family. They don't have to be married, again, in your cultural idea of family to be family. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 06:20, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
"Family" just needs a better name. Content wise there is no reason to exclude lovers from the list. This just just another one of those stupid cases where we randomly put one word into an infobox because it's the best word we can think of to describe what we are putting in that content area. Then some random person comes along, decides that the single word we use to describe the content is a almighty rule of what goes in that box, based on that decide some content does not fit that word, and then demands that we remove that content or add some content to that field. This is the same issue as we had with Rank:. We just titled the field dedicated to Ninja Ranks (AS,Genin,...,Kage) "Rank" because it was the only type of relevant rank back then. Then later on ANBU ranks come into play, and because we titled the field "Rank" instead of "Ninja Rank" when ANBU ranks never existed someone decided to assert that we should include ANBU ranks in the Ninja Rank field where they don't belong.
In short we aren't going to exclude lovers from that box simply because the box is titled "Family" and someone doesn't like that. The box is meant for close family, lovers, relevant relationships, etc... It's a box linking to people who are extremely relevant to that character. If you're going to complain about something, either complain about the title we use for the box, or complain about the content for some reason related to the content. Don't complain about the content because it contains an irrelevant title(You'll make the babies in the bathwater cry.) ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 14, 2009 @ 18:14 (UTC)
- I do not really see why the family box would need a better name. Family describes it perfectly fine. Lovers can be as much family as spouses. Just ask my aunt. She and her lover were together for twenty-something years before they were finally allowed to marry and for each and every one of those years we considered her lover as much a part of the family as if she was born into it. A piece of paper does not a family connection make. A relationship does that.
- That said, the ANBU rank issue is still haunting my mind. We should really find a satisfying solution to that... --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 18:34, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox/Naruto/Character, rank is now a heading. The new infobox can handle multiple types of ranks. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 14, 2009 @ 18:50 (UTC)
well, in this time, if you live with someone and are in a relationship with them for 3 or more years, your a listed as Married, I know this is no help, since we have no idea how long these characters have been in a relationship for, but, it doesn't matter if you are married or not, you should be listed as "Family" since you are with them at the time, possibly having a child with them and you are there "lovers". Though it may help with the conflict if you change "Family" to "Relationships", Relationships could be family wise or Lover wise, pretty much means the same thing also in the INFOBOX of the character it will say how they are "Related". —This unsigned comment was made by Misakipony (talk • contribs) .
- Just throwing this out here, but, how are we sorting family? By relationship or by name. Simant (talk) 20:03, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- ^_^ There's a lovely little semi-constant variable in the JavaScript language we like to call
undefined, I think that one applies here, heh... ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 14, 2009 @ 23:44 (UTC)
- ^_^ There's a lovely little semi-constant variable in the JavaScript language we like to call
Well, i think they should be, also if they have a child, they are considered family.
What about Itachi and his apparent "lover", that Madara talked about? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:17, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
- Do we have proof that that wasn't a mistranslation? Do we even have proof if he was lying or not?--TheUltimate3 (talk) 21:28, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
- It wasn't a mistranslation, I can tell you that. However, Itachi's lover is simply in no way significant enough to add to his infobox. His lover is not even named.
- however, if his lover had been significant to Itachi and the story, then they should be listed in his infobox. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 21:33, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
- Then that's good game then. It seemed like a mistranslation because it just seemed so left field. "Hey Itachi had a lover!" "F0r r3@lz z0n?!?!"--TheUltimate3 (talk) 21:38, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

As states have been able to increase their numbers of college graduates over the past decade, Louisiana continues to find itself languishing far behind most of the rest of the country.
Most research agrees that the ability to pull low-income populations into the higher education fold will go a long way in improving a state's fortunes. Some experts say states can accomplish that through a robust community college system. Others say the best route to improving access to postsecondary education is through a strong system of grants and financial aid.
Various solutions are debated. But there is a consensus on the starkness of the problem.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 21 percent of Louisiana adults have earned a bachelor's degree or higher, one of the lowest percentages in the nation. Accordingly, the state's median income of roughly $41,700 is the seventh lowest in the nation, while the 20.4 percent of Louisiana residents living below the poverty level is the third-highest in the country.
The nationally recognized poverty level is a $22,314 annual income for a family of four.
The Institute for Economics and Peace, a nonprofit research organization, ranks Louisiana as the most dangerous state in the country with the eighth-worst violent crime rate; fourth-worst rate of gun suicides; the country's highest incarceration rate; and the nation's worst murder rate.
Corie Hebert, an assistant professor of social work at Southeastern University in Hammond, explains that Louisiana's pervasive poverty — 66 percent of school-age children qualify for either free or reduced lunch — also leads to low-birth weights and high instances of infant mortality.
Southern University political science professor Albert Samuels said the state could start to address its problem with poverty by addressing the financial gap among students who don't have enough to money to pay for college, but make too much to qualify for federal Pell Grants.
"We really don't do a whole lot, or as much as we probably could be doing to ensure access to higher education," Samuels said.
The state's need-based Go Grant program, which is capped at $1,000 per student is not continually protected by the Legislature like the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students, or TOPS, which pays tuition and some fees for students who have met certain academic benchmarks, Samuels said.
Closing that financial gap may take on increased importance in years to come as results become clear from a 2011 federal change in the Pell Grant program which eliminates aid for people who haven't received a high school diploma, said Vickie Choitz, a senior policy analyst with the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Law and Social Policy, called CLASP.
Choitz said that many students who hadn't earned high school diplomas were able to return to school and enroll in community colleges. Before the law change, those students could qualify for Pell Grants provided they could pass six credit-hours or "an ability to benefit" test, she said.
"The change in the law is a real setback for a lot of lower-skilled individuals, because clearly they don't have the funds to afford school," she said.
LSU Director of External Affairs Jason Droddy said there is a lot of financial relief available to students willing to dig for it, including work-study programs and dozens of individual scholarships available on campuses around the state.
One of LSU's more well-known aid programs, Droddy said, is the Pelican Promise for low-income students, which seeks to fill the gaps for housing and food costs that Pell Grants don't always cover.
Joe May, President of the Louisiana Community College and Technical System, or LCTCS, said the change is going to have to be dramatic if Louisiana is going to be able to keep more and more people from sliding into poverty.
May said 75,000 formerly middle class Louisiana residents fell under the poverty level in 2009-10. "Those individuals were hard workers who once held middle class jobs," May said. "It's very clear the sophistication and knowledge required to earn a middle-class wage is going up."
May explains that one important gauge as to whether Louisiana is on the right track to address poverty will be if the state's community and technical colleges can keep pace with workforce demands.
The goal is to double LCTCS's 80,000 enrollment in the next five years, May said. "We need to be on track for 160,000 enrollment in order to have the type of meaningful impact we're looking for. If we can't keep pace with employers, we will see our poverty rates grow."
State Commissioner of Higher Education Jim Purcell said it will take a combination of student aid reform, partnerships with employers and a strong community and technical college system to increase postsecondary access and lower the state's poverty rate.
Programs already in place: like dual enrollment, that allows high school students to take college courses, and Louisiana Connect which lets students search for scholarships and stay on pace to receive TOPS should increase opportunities for students who likely would have fallen through the cracks in years past, Purcell said.
But it will be critical, he said, for the 14 schools in the LCTCS to align their programs with the kinds of jobs employers are looking for.
"Lake Charles is experiencing growth. They are going to need construction workers, pipefitters and welders," Purcell said. "Schools like McNeese and Sowela need to get on that, and fast." Sowela Technical Community College is based in Lake Charles.
Purcell also said he is planning to lobby the Legislature in the spring to make changes in the state's Go Grant program to "maximize individual need."
Although a more nuanced Go Grant program would mean some students would be awarded less money, Purcell said the state could use the program in a way to better "maximize individual need."
Studies show that when 60 percent of a student's financial need is taken care of, that student has a much higher chance of graduating from college, Purcell said.
"We are always looking for ways to improve success rates," he said.

A PIONEERING charity that saves the lives of those with blood cancer has been given a welcome boost thanks to the fundraising and determination of one Wirral marathon runner.
Vicky Thomas tackled the London Marathon earlier this month to raise money for the Anthony Nolan – which uses their register to match remarkable donors willing to donate their blood stems cells or bone marrow to people who desperately need lifesaving transplants.
Despite running three half marathons in the past, April 13 was the first time 30-year-old Vicky had tackled the full 26 miles and her efforts have so far managed to raise £2,472 for the charity.
"When I turned 30 my husband and I decided that we needed a big goal so I chose to run the London Marathon and he chose to cycle the Tour of Flanders in Belgium," explained Vicky, who lives with husband Gareth in Bebington.
"I also felt that that I should do my bit for charity."
Vicky initially signed up alone but soon managed to convince her friend Gemma Nichols to run with her.
While Vicky ran for Anthony Nolan, Gemma ran for Mind, which provides advice and support for those experiencing mental health problems.
As well as running on the Wirral Way with Gemma, Vicky also trained with local running group Mums to Marathons, who helped to keep her motivated.
Vicky told the Globe: "I chose to run for Anthony Nolan because they are a pioneering charity that saves lives of people with blood cancer.
"I felt that this charity and the amazing work they do was something I wanted to raise awareness of and this would hopefully get more people to join the bone marrow donor register."
On average, 65 people a day are diagnosed with blood cancer in the UK – that's one person every 20 minutes.
There are nearly 1,600 people in the UK in need of a bone marrow transplant, which is often being their chance of survival,
Vicky added: "I managed to raise just under £2,500 so I am absolutely delighted as the money will help to save the lives of people with blood cancer."
Close to 70% of patients will not find a matching donor from within their families and so it is vital that more people sign up to become a donor.
To join the register, you must be aged between 16 to 30, weight more than eight stone (51kg) and be in general good health.
For more information, or to apply to join the register, visit anthonynolan.org or call 0303 303 0303.

Topic: Biliruben count and Chemo
My mom-in-law is suffering with CC. Here is a quick summary:
- Diagnosed late March,
- Underwent a failed surgical attempt in May, said tumor was unresectable and chemo/radiation are the way to go. Doc supposedly put in a bile duct bypass to connect duct from liver to the intestine
- Recovery in June
- One external drain put in through her rib-cage to drain out the absyss that was collecting post surgery (was in hospital for 9 days)
- That drain eventually dried up and she started getting jaundiced again
- They put a second external drain (one end on the outside, the other end gping through the liver to the BD to the intestine) about 15 days back
- Last week they closed both drains and removed the external bags
So far chemo or any treatment has not started since the oncologist says she is waiting for a green signal from the surgeon as to when he thinks bile management is under control. Last we checked, her biliruben was 116.
Question I have is what is the target bili level before which they can start chemo safely?
We are concerned that the cancer may be spreading but we have not even started any treatment after almost 4 months after it was originally diagnosed.
(Treatment is being done in Toronto General Hospotal and oncologist in in Princess Margeret Hospital)

SMWC to lead environmental cleanup
March 28th, 2012 |
The Sustainability Club at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College enhances the quality of life on campus and in the community with a number of sustainability initiatives. The club invites the Wabash Valley community to join them in its second annual cleanup effort at the Wabashiki Fish and Wildlife Area. It will take place along the west bank of the Wabash River between Terre Haute and West Terre Haute. Operation:Wabashiki is scheduled for Sunday, April 15, 2012, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"Our goal is to create environmental awareness and an understanding of sustainability issues. Many endangered species inhabit these wetlands and we feel it is our responsibility as a community to keep it clean."
~Amber Slaughterbeck, club president and environmental science major
The club encourages the SMWC community, the Wabash Valley community and sustainability clubs from other colleges and universities by showing how this small effort makes a big difference. Republic Services, America's second largest non-hazardous solid waste services company, volunteered to assist in the removal of the litter.
Participants are asked to dress appropriately for volunteer work by bringing work gloves and safety glasses. Anyone ages 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Coffee and lunch will be provided at Duey Point.
For more information, email Amber Slaughterbeck.

Outboards - Yamaha
|2002 Engine Preview
The F225 is Yamaha's big-shouldered entry into the big-horsepower, four-stroke arena. This 225-hp V-6 features a compact 60-degree cylinder block conceived from the beginning as a marine engine. A 24-valve, double overhead cam uses four valves per cylinder for superior breathing, which means maximum power and fuel efficiency. The front-mounted freshwater flushing device makes flushing easy whether at the dock or in the driveway. The power trim and tilt switch is removable and reversible so you can mount it on either port or starboard, a handy feature for twin-engine applications. An idle speed controller provides for stable idling as well as quick starts and smooth operation while trolling, and because intake air passes through a silencer before entering the cylinder, sound levels are reduced. To bolster fuel efficiency, Yamaha engineers have equipped the F225 with "ram-charge manifold fuel injection." Six specially tuned intake tracks–each with its own throttle valve and fuel injector–create pulsating waves that force the air-fuel mixture into the cylinder. (800) 88-YAMAHA. www.yamaha-motor.com.

What if my measurements are between sizes? When in doubt, go with the larger size. It's always better to have extra fabric so you can tuck extra deep.
Exclusive, designer collection.

Great cover
I purchased this to cover an Ethan Allan 96 inch couch. It fit perfectly and I love the Waverly print. The tea stain was a little darker than the picture shows but I still love it.
Beautiful and well made. My mom gave me a chair she had for many years. It had good bones but needed a new dressing. The T-cushion, relaxed fit-fit the bill! Thank you for good quality!
Sofa Cover
I could not be happier with the slipcovers I recently purchased in the Ballad Bouquet collection. I bought both the sofa and love seat slipcovers. They are beautiful and fit exceptionally well. The quality of the material exceeded my expectations. I chose the Robin's egg blue. The flower color is muted, which is what I had hoped would be the case.
Love this sofa cover bought 2 to make matching pillows made 5 good sized pillows and with the ruffled bottom made a bed skirt with. Still have extra material left. Love the quality of material. My room looks so cozy.
Love love love the Ballad Bouquet slipcovers in the Robins Egg color ... the color was a little different than pictured :( ... but still #lovely and I am very happy with them ... I do need the ottoman in robins egg color with more ruffle and with ties style :) thank you!!

Cat Genie - Automatic Flushing Litter Box
I first saw this thing working on youtube. It's like a toilet for my cat and it's fully automatic. I was a little worried about the plumbing part of the installation but it was easier than I thought, and I'm no plumber. My Cat loves it and so do I. I don't even have to touch cat litter again. woo hoo

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/8/2013 (1453 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The looming thunder stayed away, and so Friday was a beautiful night for a football game, and this time there was fun football to go with it, too.
Not just exciting but historic, even, as the University of Manitoba Bisons opened their CIS season by becoming the first adult team to win at Investors Group Field (the Winnipeg West under-16 team won four there in July). It was how they won that made it great, as they rolled over the University of Alberta Golden Bears in a staggering 65-41 win, the third-highest points tally in Bisons history, in front of an estimated 6,500 cheering fans.
They had the most points ever by a Bison team at the half, when they carried a score of 46-24 into the break; then there was running back Anthony Coombs, who stampeded all over the visitors en route to 223 rushing yards on 16 carries, with three touchdowns — even after the Bisons sportingly rested him in the fourth, once they had the game firmly in hand. "I've got to give him more scholarship money," head coach Brian Dobie quipped.
Heck, the game was historic just for existing. It was the first time in 47 years the Bisons have played a regular-season game at night, hampered as they were by the old, lightless university field. They had a huge cheering section to witness it, the highest in the team's regular-season history, a spokesman said: where the Bisons usually average about 1,000 fans a game, on Friday, they sold or gave away 10,099 tickets, and most of those turned out.
And the Bisons gave all those newcomers a show they won't soon forget. It was a wild one, especially once the scoring gates broke open in the second quarter, and despite some sloppy defence on both sides the game was always fully entertaining. By the time it was over, it was hard to remember that the Golden Bears hit the scoreboard first, with a 28-yard Stephen Fabian field goal early in the first quarter — because the Bisons rammed back hard.
It started when they turned in two touchdowns in the first quarter, getting on the scoreboard when tailback Kienan LaFrance's one-yard push finished what slotback Nic Demski started with a slick 62-yard run. Just over four minutes later, pivot Jordan Yantz — a red-hot recruit making his Bisons debut — connected with receiver Andrew Smith for a seven-yard touchdown pass.
Uh, come to think about it, we may not have the space to list all the Bisons' scoring plays, as points began to flood in from all over. The Bisons put back four touchdowns and a field goal in the second frame alone, starting when Yantz found Smith again for an 11-yard catch into the end zone. Later, with 12:51 gone in the second, Yantz tossed it off to Coombs, who took it 37 yards to the bank.
Less than one minute later, safety Tyler Fong plucked off a pass by Alberta pivot Ryan Schwartz and ran it 75 yards to the Alberta house; just over a minute later, Demski hauled down a Yantz pass inside the end zone. The fun didn't stop there. Coombs got even hotter in the third quarter, racing 84 yards for a touchdown on just the first play after the kickoff. Just over four minutes later, he'd add another 62 yards to his stunning rushing totals, blowing by Alberta coverage to take it home put the Bisons up 60-26.
The Bisons eased up then, taking out Yantz in favour of backup Marc Paquette; Yantz finished having gone 14 for 19 for 215 yards, and Dobie thinks the quarterback has a whole lot more to offer once he settles in.
"I thought Jordan came out pretty pumped," Dobie said. "He's a competitor, and you can see how he plays... I thought that detracted from his ability to perform as well as he could. I thought he was a little hyped up."

HOUSTON - A man was robbed after making a withdrawal of nearly $1,000 from his bank.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said it happened at the Chase Bank in the 3800 block of Atascocita Road on June 7.
Rosendo Sanchez was leaving the bank after withdrawing $980 when a man with a gun approached him and forced him out of his vehicle, investigators said.
The robber then drove Sanchez several miles along Will Clayton Parkway, until they stopped at a fast-food restaurant, detectives said.
"At that point, the suspect robbed the victim of his money that he had just taken out of the bank," said Deputy Thomas Gilliland.
Deputies said the robber then forced Sanchez, 43, to drive back to the Chase Bank. On the way, they picked up a second man at a nearby Burger King.
Sanchez was forced to take $700 out of his account, investigators said.
The two men then got out of the car at Will Clayton Parkway and Atascocita Road and ran off.
News of the armed robbery and kidnapping had other bank customers shaken.
"Going into the bank and out of the bank, I really don't think nothing of it," said David Cangahula.
"I always look around to make sure no one is standing around. Sometimes in the front, there are people at the ATM machine. I wait until they're finished to go in," said Monica Brown.
Deputies advised bank customers to be alert and never to carry cash out of the bank.
"Make yourself, as you walk out, look normal, every day. Having the envelope in your hand, these people are watching you," said Gilliland.

JAZZ Carlin is determined not to let the impending departure to Australia of long-time coach Bud McAllister disrupt her assault on Commonwealth Games medals this summer.
Carlin learned earlier this week that American coach McAllister, who has overseen the former Wootton Bassett School pupil's career for the last seven years, is taking up a new coaching position in Perth.
It follows the closure of their Swansea base as one of British Swimming's intensive training centres last month, although Carlin continued to base herself there, and comes just six months before the start of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The two-time Commonwealth Games medallist admits the departure of her mentor came as a shock but will join McAllister for training stints Down Under prior to the Games and is refusing to let the upheaval undermine her positive frame of mind ahead of the summer.
"It came as a bit of a shock, but now it's about making sure plans are in place to make sure that, when the Commonwealth Games come, I am in the best possible shape,'' she told the Gazette & Herald.
"I'm happiest when being coached by Bud and it's about making sure that I keep that going as much as possible.''
The closure of Swansea as an ITC base and exit of McAllister have ensured Carlin will have some big decisions to take regarding her swimming future, but the 23 year old will shelve those worries until this summer's business has been taken care of.
McAllister previously coached US swimmer Janet Evans to four Olympic titles and an 800m freestyle world record that stood for 20 years and, after starting work with Carlin when she was aged 16, helped guide her from a promising youngster to regular international performer.
"Swimming has got to be my focus for the next six months and I know the relationship works and brings the best out of me,'' she added.
"I'm really focussing on the Commonwealth Games and things might be a little different after that. Swim Wales might have a new head coach, but I'll leave those decisions until after the Games.
"When I first joined Bud I was 16 and just a young girl, but I'm now 23 and I've achieved things with him that I never thought I would do.
"It was a really hard decision for him to take, but Bud has a family to support too and I know he's still keen to work with me.
"Even when I'm not training with him, I'll still be doing his sessions, so nothing will change in that respect.''
Carlin will contest the Flanders Cup international event in Belgium at the end of the month before joining McAllister in Australia in March.
She will then return for the British Championships in April and hopes to have another McAllister coaching stint after that.
"Training is going really well, I'm really happy with how it's gone so far,'' she added. "I'm a lot further ahead this year than I was last year, but I have to keep training hard.''

The foundation of any great skincare routine (and therefore, great skin) is an effective, everyday cleanser. Still haven't found the right one for you? Here we round up ten options that will have you flocking to your sink night and day. Even better—these affordable formulas promise to be as gentle to your skin as they are to your wallet.
We hear you: it can be hard to devote yourself to cleansing your face twice a day when you still haven't found "the one." Enter Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser ($19.50). Enriched with natural avocado and apricot kernel oils, this formula cleanses and removes makeup while calming and balancing your skin, no matter what type it is.
Why rely on just a serum when you can make your cleanser the first step of your antiaging routine? Acure Organics Facial Cleansing Gel ($9.99), rich in antioxidants, does more than just cleanse; it protects your skin from fine-line-causing free radicals so that you not only feel fresher, but also look younger.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser ($25) has more than 100 beauty awards for a reason: its results-driven formula removes dirt, grime, and pollutants, as well as your most stubborn makeup (yeah, we're talking to you, waterproof eyeliner). When paired with a damp muslin cloth, it also sweeps away dead skin cells for a fresh, irritation-free glow.
Considered France's best-kept skincare secret, cleansing waters are known for eliminating impurities like makeup, dirt, and oil, while offering toning and hydrating benefits. Avène Micellar Lotion Cleanser and Makeup Remover ($20) goes even beyond cleansing by soothing, softening, and calming skin with the brand's signature thermal water. Apply it with a cotton pad all over your face and neck. Even better, here's no need to rinse.
You put your skin through a lot each day—think: face creams, SPF, and makeup—not to mention stress and the exposure to pollutants and the sun. Vasanti Detox Facial Cleanser ($24) offers relief by washing away toxins and pore-clogging impurities that get trapped on your skin without stripping it of moisture. Plus, it delivers antiaging ingredients like omega-3 and omega-6 to help prevent further damage.
What's not to love about multitasking products? As the name already says, the philosophy purity made simple One-step Facial Cleanser ($25) goes beyond basic cleansing—it also removes all traces of makeup, tones, and lightly hydrates your skin in a matter of seconds (literally). Oh, and there's more: It can also be used to clean your makeup brushes. Sold.
Combination skin has never been so easy to manage. The Origins Checks and Balances ($12) gets what it is like to have an oily T-zone, larger pores, and dry cheeks. Its formula washes your skin concerns down the drain by combining a unique blend of botanicals that target excess oil production while softening and protecting the dry areas with ingredients like lavender oil and chamomile.
While cleansing your skin, you want to get rid of all the bad stuff, not add more to it, right? derma e Evenly Radiant Brightening Cleanser ($15.50) brings a 100% vegan formula free of all those hard-to-pronounce ingredients, including parabens, sulfates, lanolin, and GMOs. Instead, this formula combines ingredients like green tea, and vitamins A and C to give your skin a healthy glow.
When you're on-the-go, Skyn Iceland Glacial Cleansing Cloths ($15) are your best friend. Infused with Icelandic glacial waters, vitamins, and antioxidants, these wipes will remove makeup, cleanse your skin, and manage the effects of stress (and sweat!) on your face—think breakouts, fine lines, and extra sensitivity. To get the most out of this formula, make sure you let the cloth sit on the top of your face for a moment before (gently) wiping it all over.
If your inner lazy girl still wants to swap healthy skin for snoozing, here's a shortcut: Marcelle 3-in-1 Micellar Solution ($21) puts together a cleanser, makeup remover, and toner all in one potent-yet-delicate formula. (Bonus: You don't even have to rinse it off when you're done). In addition to natural ingredients like fruit extracts and cucumber, the formula incorporates salicylic acid to target breakouts.

Topic: Has Anyone Developed A Rash After Finishing Chemo?
Hi Everyone -
My dad James just finished up his chemo (Gemzar) on July 1st of 2010 and has developed a rash approximately a month after stopping his chemo. Below is a bit of background and my questions.
Below is a brief background:
He had surgery on October 14th 2009 to remove 2.5cm tumor at the confluence and part of his liver. He had 6 weeks of radiation (5 days a week) and chemo (5-FU 24hrs/day 7 days a week) and then had 3 weeks off and started Gemzar. He completed one cycle (1 infusion 1 day a week for 3 weeks and 1 week off) and had to be hospitalized due to low white blood count and fatigue. He had 2 weeks off and then started Gemzar again using an every other week approach which he tolerated decently. He did not have any problems with rashes during the entire time he was receiving chemo. He finished chemo July 1st and developed a rash around last week of July. He was over my house this past Saturday and I noticed a big red irritated looking spot on his shin just above the foot. He complained that it was itchy so I put some hyrdocortizone on and it stopped itching immediately. My mom told me last night that he had more itchy spots on his other leg and on his arms now. They called his oncologist and they said it was not due to chemo. He went to his primary care doctor and he said that it was more than likely due to chemo.
1. Has anyone not had a rash while receiving chemo and developed a rash shortly after chemo stops?
2. What causes this rash?
3. How long did you have the rash?
4. What did you do to help with the itch and rash?
5. Do you think this is something more serious than just a rash - is this some signal that the cancer is doing something?
Thank you for your feedback.

The marinade recipe comes courtesy of "FriedClamFanatic", and can be found here.
Saturday morning I started by salting a couple of thin pork steaks and mixing the marinade. The marsala cost a whole $3.99 so I'm thinking next time I could use Night Train instead.
The steaks marinated for almost 24 hours.
Because they were thin I grilled them direct over medium heat.
The marinade added a really nice flavor and I'll definitely use it again, maybe on some beef next time.

Media continue to uncritically report Hastert's baseless charge that Dems are behind Foley scandal
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
Reports on National Public Radio and NBC's Today uncritically repeated House Speaker Dennis Hastert's false claims that Democrats generated the scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley. Similarly, an October 6 Washington Post article also failed to note reports that directly contradict Hastert's claims.
On October 5 and 6, news accounts on National Public Radio and NBC's Today uncritically reported baseless accusations by House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) and others that Democrats are behind the scandal involving former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL). None of these accounts noted a report in The Hill newspaper that a House Republican aide provided Foley's alleged emails to the media or a statement by ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross that the sources for his initial Foley report -- to the extent they had partisan affiliations -- were Republicans, as Media Matters for America has noted.
On the October 5 broadcast of NPR's All Things Considered, host Melissa Block interviewed former House ethics committee chair Joel Hefley (R-CO) about the Foley scandal. After Hefley said the ethics committee should look at whether House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's (CA) office was involved in the scandal, Block asked whether Hefley agreed that there was merit to Hastert's accusations that "these revelations are the work of Democratic operatives." She did not mention the news reports that have contradicted Hastert; Hefley admitted that while he "can't say" that the charges are true, he "think[s] it's a possibility." From All Things Considered:
BLOCK: Congressman, do you think that Dennis Hastert should step down?
HEFLEY: No, I don't. I think we should let the normal course of things go. I think the cry for him to step down is more or less a political ploy right now. You know, my sense with him is that he has high ethical standards, but did he know about any of this in advance? I don't know. Did his staff know and not pass it on to him?
I mean, that's a question too. These are the kind of questions that need to be looked into. Did Nancy Pelosi know? Did their office know? And then there's the wait until just before the election to blow the whistle. I mean, who knows?
BLOCK: Do you think, I mean, these charges had been raised, including by Speaker Hastert, that these revelations are the work of Democratic operatives? Do you really think that's the case?
HEFLEY: I do not know. I can't say. I think it is a possibility and it's something that does need to be looked into. But I simply don't know and that's why I say it needs to be taken out of the realm of politics.
And I think -- I had been opposed to special counsels most of the time in the past, because I think we can do the job internally. I'm wondering with this one. It's so big, it involves the top leadership, and so forth. I'm wondering if some kind of a special counselor or maybe a special task force of former members with good reputations and so forth might restore confidence that there really is an effort to get to the bottom of it.
Similarly, on the October 6 broadcast of NPR's Morning Edition, national reporter Cheryl Corley uncritically reported former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's (R-GA) "suggest[ion]" that "Democrats, and the media, had a hand in the controversy, since Foley's text messages to an underage page were made public just weeks before the November election." She aired a clip of Gingrich wondering if "this entire thing was rigged by liberals and Democrats," and suggesting that it might be "the equivalent of a large dirty trick":
CAROL VAN DAM (newscaster): Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says the congressional page scandal plaguing Republicans looks as if it was rigged to embarrass current speaker Dennis Hastert and the Republican-led Congress. NPR's Cheryl Corley has this report:
CORLEY: Before addressing a fundraiser, Newt Gingrich quickly came to the support of Dennis Hastert. He said the speaker had taken the right steps in calling for the FBI to investigate the Mark Foley scandal. But Gingrich also suggested that Democrats, and the media, had a hand in the controversy, since Foley's text messages to an underage page, were made public just weeks before the November election. Gingrich said he's not sure what impact the scandal will have to retain a majority in Congress:
GINGRICH: What if it does turn out that, in fact, this entire thing was rigged by liberals and Democrats, that this entire thing was done deliberately and methodically, and in fact, it is the equivalent of a large dirty trick.
CORLEY: Gingrich says if Mark Foley had not resigned, he's certain Speaker Hastert would have worked to expel him. Cheryl Corley, NPR News, Chicago.
Similarly, on the October 6 broadcast of NBC's Today, chief White House correspondent David Gregory reported, without challenge, that "Hastert is attacking Democrats, backed, he says, by liberal financier George Soros, as well as the news media for fueling the story." He also reported that "Speaker Hastert is still on the offensive, accusing his Democratic opponents of knowing about these inappropriate electronic messages, sitting on the information so that this could be revealed as an October surprise, he said, in an attempt to hurt Republicans":
GREGORY: A criminal investigation is also under way. Top Republicans have distanced themselves from Speaker Hastert amid suggestions he failed to respond to warnings about Foley's conduct more than two years ago.
HASTERT [video clip]: The fact is that I don't know who knew what, when.
GREGORY: Seeking to deflect some of the political blame, Hastert is attacking Democrats, backed, he says, by liberal financier George Soros as well as the news media for fueling the story. Hastert appeared on conservative talk radio Thursday, explaining his refusal to resign.
HASTERT [audio clip]: Then, you know, where does that leave us? It lets the Democrats sweep and then we have no ability to fight back, and get our message out.
GREGORY: Here at the White House, this unfolding scandal has become such a distraction, the president's spokesman admitted he would dodge questions about House leaders.
GREGORY: Late Thursday, the president called Speaker Hastert to reiterate his support for him, doesn't want him to resign; also thanked him for what he said was a strong statement of public responsibility. At the same time, Speaker Hastert is still on the offensive, accusing his Democratic opponents of knowing about these inappropriate electronic messages, sitting on the information so that this could be revealed as an October surprise, he said, in an attempt to hurt Republicans.
Beyond ignoring the disclosures from The Hill and Ross that the leaked emails came from Republicans, Block and Gregory repeated Hastert's charge despite a Chicago Tribune report from that morning that "[s]enior Republican officials contacted Hastert's office before his news conference Thursday to urge that he not repeat the charges, and he backed away from them in his news conference," as the weblog TPMmuckraker.com noted.
By contrast, after Gregory's report, host Meredith Vieira brought up Hastert's charges with NBC News senior vice president and Washington bureau chief Tim Russert. In response, Russert mentioned The Hill's report that a House Republican aide was "one of the primary sources" for the story:
VIEIRA: Hastert has also gone on the offensive here. He accused the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee of knowing about these emails before they were released to the public, and he called it, quote, "sort of an October surprise, releasing it now." Any evidence that the Democrats did know about this and sat on it until right before the midterm elections?
RUSSERT: Well, there is evidence that it did appear on the Internet in various places, but no one yet has been able to demonstrate it came from Republicans [sic]. In fact, The Hill newspaper yesterday pointed to a Republican House aide as one of the primary sources. But, Meredith, the simple point is we know by their own admission in the fall of 2005, aides to Speaker Hastert were aware of some of this information. And that is something that he has to deal with no matter who else knew it.
In addition, an October 6 article in The Washington Post reported Hastert's charges and his stated lack of evidence for them, but also failed to note the aforementioned Hill and ABC News reports, which actually provide evidence that directly contradicts Hastert's speculation. From the October 6 Washington Post article, titled "Inquiry To Look At House, Not Foley":
Hastert suggested that Democrats may have known about the lewd instant messages and leaked them for partisan advantage, but he said he had no evidence.
Hastert was feistier in a Chicago Tribune interview published yesterday. "The people who want to see this thing blow up," he said, "are ABC News and a lot of Democratic operatives, people funded by George Soros," a major contributor to liberal causes. "I saw Bill Clinton's adviser Richard Morris was saying these guys knew about this all along."
Morris is a former Clinton consultant who was been sharply at odds with the former president for years. Hastert offered no proof for his assertions, and Democrats called them absurd and laughable.

OK then folks heres the deal
Twice annually a bunch of Super Awesome Dudes from the RPS Eve corp started by yours truly get together somewhere in the UK and get horribly destroyed by a new hip drug called "alcohol". The next weekend of terrifying awesomeness is most likely to be mid september.
As I am no longer the glorious CEO of RPSH and quite frankly love a big knees up, I thought this time around we could open it up to all RPS readers even if you aren't brave enough to attempt the wilds of Eve-Online, CCP's premier fashion spaceship/monacle simulator.
Timing is roughly mid September (to be firmed up obviously) and most likely to be in the mighty Dreadhold of Birmingham.
What you can expect:- Geekery, drunkeness, lack of females and testicles being placed on Dwergis head.
What you can't expect:- The unexpected
long story short were going to get pissed up in Brum on a convinient saturday mid'ish September and talk about games, hats, the hivemind behind their backs and staring eyes tags.
Start time is generally midday'ish and ends when the last man vomits all over my fucking floor... Dwergi!
In order to identify ourselves the theme will be hats. So please if you fancy coming, some sort of wicked shit hat is in order. Also your name sewn into your clothes with a home address and a next of kin.
Please post with your interest as the venue will vary wildly depending on how many awesome gamers we can expect.

Hi all,
Our work has a web based time system.
We login, click "Complete Timesheet" which shows the time sheet for the day, the click on "log time" that loads another page.
We then manually enter the information.
it takes 3-5 mins a day, and I work 3 shift types and always have the exact same input.
I've used autohotkey to record a macro for entering the data and it can do it in about 30-60 seconds, but they keep changing the layout.
I want to use python to interact with the document directly so despite the layout it will still work. Is it possible?
I don't want a solution or code writing, just suggestions on things i should read up on, online resources etc or modules/frameworks.
I've written a few little web scrapers before for pulling basic info from xml feeds but i'm rusty and getting back up to speed now.
Thanks in advance for any advice

The Wisconsin model of socio-economic attainment is essentially a tool developed in an attempt to measure certain sociological and psychological characteristics that influence an individual's social mobility. The logistics of this model are primarily asserted by the sociologist William H. Sewell, as well as his colleagues Archibald Haller and Alejandro Portes. The model receives its name based on the state, Wisconsin, in which a significant amount of research and analysis was completed. Unlike the previous research contributed to this topic by Peter Blau and Otis Dudley Duncan, this model encompasses more than just educational and occupational factors and their effect on social mobility for American males.
Prior researchEdit
Before the framework for the Wisconsin model was constructed, Peter Blau and Otis Duncan established the first model of its kind. However, the Blau-Duncan model was only made up of five variables. These five variables include father's education and occupation, the subject's education and first job, and the subject's job several years later.
Essentially, Sewell and his counterparts aimed to contribute to the original model of status attainment by adding variables. Because the results given by the Blau-Duncan model were based heavily on "structural factors as explanatory variables," the Wisconsin model was created in order to account for "social-psychological factors on educational and occupational attainment" and, in turn, provide more accurate results.
Model variablesEdit
The eight characteristics that would most effectively link socio-economic background with the ability to attain status and process of measurement. According to the model, the 0 to 1 correlation between each of these eight variables will determine possible status attainments.
Occupational attainmentEdit
Measured by Otis Dudley Duncan's socio-economic index of occupational status.
Educational attainmentEdit
Achieved by assigning a point value to certain levels of education that a subject has reached. In more recent studies using this model, educational attainment was classified into four levels: no post high school education, vocational school, college attendance, and a college degree. Earlier studies only classified subjects into those who went to college and those who did not.
Level of occupational aspirationEdit
The subject's level is calculated by again categorizing Duncan's socioeconomic index scores in association with the occupation that the subject hope to hold in the future.
Level of educational aspirationEdit
This is classified by the education level that each subject originally indicates that they hope to secure. Once again, some recent studies have assigned point values for three levels of desired education level: not continuing education after high school, vocational school, or college. Previous studies only categorized students based on which type institution they planned on attending prior to high school graduation.
Significant others' influenceEdit
This variable can be determined by evaluating three perceptions of the subject including: parental and teacher encouragement to attend college, as well as friends' college plans.
Academic performanceEdit
This value is calculated by the subject's high school class rank.
Socioeconomic statusEdit
In the original study, socio-economic status was determined by a weighted combination of mother's and father's education, father's occupation, and average annual income from 1957-1960.
Mental abilityEdit
This variable is determined by the analysis of standardized testing. In previous studies, statewide test results for high school juniors and seniors are compared with state intelligence norms.
Interpersonal influenceEdit
Primarily, the significant others' direct influence on the subject specifically relates to one's educational and occupational aspirations and also educational attainment. Basically, this implies that those who are constantly involved with a subject (mother, father, friend) will have a direct outcome on what type of education the subject receives.
Self-reflexive actionEdit
Essentially, this implies that a person's status attainment can only be limited by one's own "perceived ability."
Status aspirationsEdit
One's desire to attain status is an obligation for educational and occupational attainment.
Resulting hypothesesEdit
Because this model organizes how status aspirations are formed and the way in which they influence "attainment-oriented behavior" the following conclusions can be drawn from the model:
"Status aspirations are complex forms of attitudes whose translation into attainment levels is affected by the context in which individuals attempt to enact them."
"Attitudes - including levels of aspiration - are formed and altered through two basic mechanisms; interpersonal influence, including reflexive adjustment of others' expectations, and including self-reflexion."

August 12, 2013
The Board of Trustees of the Williamsburg Regional Library has accepted, with deep regret, the resignation of Dr. John A. Moorman from the library's directorship, effective December 31, 2013. For the past 13 years, Dr. Moorman has spearheaded the library's sustained excellence, which resulted in a rare four-star, and a unique five-star rating from "Library Journal."
Under his direction, the library has developed new programs for staff development; enlarged its print, digital, music and video holdings and services; expanded its outreach to preschools, public schools, the homebound and retirement communities; enhanced the summer reading program; initiated teen programming and opened its meeting rooms to a wide variety of community groups. He has skillfully managed two library buildings, a staff of 110 and a budget of over $6 million.
In the past two years he has adroitly fostered new contractual relationships between the City of Williamsburg, James City County and York County and laid the groundwork for a new Stryker Center in the City of Williamsburg's City Square, which will relocate administrative offices and add high-tech meeting rooms to supply the library's pressing needs.
Dr. Moorman came to Williamsburg in July 2000 with an impressive record of education, experience and professional involvement. He holds a B.A. in political science from Guilford College (1969) and a Master in Library Science from UNC-Chapel Hill (1972). In 2002 he completed a Ph.D. in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois.
For 39 years he has served the American Library Association in myriad capacities, most recently on the council and executive board. Similarly he has long served the Public Library Association and the Virginia Library Association, the latter as president. He has also taught graduate library classes and consulted widely. His 2006 how-to book, "Running a Small Library," was based on his broad experience in North Carolina, Texas, Illinois and Virginia, a total of 41 years.
His civic engagements mirror his professional commitments. He is treasurer of the JCC Rotary Club, longtime former board member and president of the Rita Welsh Adult Literacy Program (now Literacy for Life), and a member of the board of directors and executive committee of the Greater Williamsburg Chamber and Tourism Alliance.

Hong Kong
Hong Kong describes itself as "Asia's World City", and it's hard to disagree. This is the place where East Asia and the rest of the world meet to do business, a social and intellectual melting-pot and a cultural powerhouse. It's not surprising that everyone falls in love with its unique charms as soon as they set foot on its neon-bright, bustling streets, or catch a glimpse of the glittering South China Sea.
Hong Kong is a city of contrasts, with tranquil countryside and quiet coastal inlets just a short journey from pulsating business districts and upmarket residential areas. Whether you're a shopaholic or a gourmet, an art lover or an adventurer, there's something here for all tastes. The Hong Kong Museum of Art houses a valuable collection of Chinese artworks, while the lively street markets of Mong Kok offer an alternative view of local culture. If your taste in shopping is more upmarket, you can happily splash the cash on luxury brands in the malls of Tsim Sha Tsui, or catch the famous Star Ferry from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island's chic Central district.
Party animals should head straight for bohemian Soho or the ultra-trendy Lan Kwai Fong district, where cosy cafés and smart restaurants serve cuisine from around the world and the lively bars and clubs stay open until the early hours.
If you've had enough of the bright lights, go in search of peace and tranquillity in one of the many country parks that are dotted around Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The traditional fishing town of Sai Kung is a perfect choice for a day trip to the beach followed by a delicious feast of locally sourced seafood. Hike through the mountains or take a coastal walk to breathe the fresh air and savour the views.
Hong Kong's excellent public transport system provides an efficient, quick and cheap way to see the sights. Most people find the MTR metro system refreshingly user-friendly, while lovers of history will enjoy a nostalgic ride on one of the classic double-decker trams that still ply the old routes.
English speakers will feel immediately at home in Hong Kong, as this former British colony has left a powerful legacy. Most locals, particularly those working in the tourism and leisure industry, speak English as well as Cantonese or Mandarin Chinese, and the Western-style street names are a reminder of this vibrant city's colonial heritage.

For Valentine's Day last year, you might remember a little competition called 'Come Spoon with Us'. We offered you the chance to customise a wooden 'love spoon', photograph it and give it to the one you love. Emma Stone was the lucky winner, and she wrote to us to tell us all about her fab prize.
Not too long ago, I was sitting on a boat just off Hayling Island, sipping a glass of Champagne and looking in wonder at a dozen seals on the coast, a few of which were sliding on their tummies back into the sea. I was relaxed and watching some incredible British wildlife. This will be a moment in my life I'll never forget, and I'll always be thankful to the fabulous people at White Stuff for organising this romantic cruise as one of their competition prizes.
The competition in question was one aimed for Valentine's Day (Come Spoon with Us), which was to create a romantic design onto a wooden spoon, taken from the Welsh tradition of giving a wooden spoon to a loved one. I was actually due to have surgery early February and when I was at home and recovering, I took a spare wooden spoon from the kitchen and painted the whole thing red (it was the first colour that came to mind for Valentine's Day!) I wasn't quite sure what design I was going for to begin with, but when I took a tube of white acrylic, I painted little designs and patterns I found romantic. Painting the spoon was the perfect distraction to getting back on my feet!
When I submitted my spoon to the White Stuff Facebook page, I never thought I had a chance of winning. I often looked through the album and saw some really amazing and clever ideas from other entrants. The first thing I saw on the day the winning spoon was announced was a notification that I'd received a Direct Message that said I should check the White Stuff page. When I checked there was the latest post, declaring me as the winner with my spoon as the picture. I was very excited and knew my fiancé and I needed a nice break so it was perfect timing.
Hayling Island was fabulous – the surrounding area of The Langstone Hotel was quiet and was right opposite the marina. My fiancé and I spent the first afternoon exploring the surrounding harbour, and relaxed in the hotel eating lovely food until the following day - where we had our main prize of the picnic boat trip for two! The scenery was stunning and the lovely picnic that was created for us was delicious. Our skipper was very accommodating and was more than willing to tell us everything about the surrounding area – we always felt at ease and enjoyed every second. We weren't expecting to see seals on the cruise and this was definitely one of the highlights.
I'm a self confessed fan of the White Stuff brand. Some who know me may call it a little obsessive; I'd say it's good taste! I am so thankful to everyone at White Stuff, Virgin Experience Days and Victor at MCP Marine for making this break a really wonderful experience.
It ticked all the boxes for us - we're even planning on going back in the future!
The winning entry!
Wonder how its sea legs fared...
Food envy!

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The quality is wonderful and there was plenty of space to include a lot of information. We wished to save funds by including hotel and wedding website information on the front and directions on the back. It was just what we hoped it would be! Very classy...or should I say, very vintage!"
"Phenomenal feedback with customer service and the design department. They put the nicest touch on the card and it turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. Highly recommend!"
"This set totally sets the tone for an elegant wedding. It commands the attention of all of your guests and lays the path for a beautiful event."
"I used this enclosure card for a separate Reception information card. I wrote a line inviting guests to the reception after the ceremony, and included the address as well as the overnight accommodation information since the reception was host in the hotel we blocked rooms at. I also fit a line at the bottom of the page directing guests to our wedding website for more information. I worked with the design team to customize a font size in the middle of the page and they were very helpful to work with. They continued to send me revisions until it was exactly what I was looking for. I had a very positive experience creating this enclosure."
"Everyone is talking about our invitations...they are unique, high-quality and classy. I love them and working with your company was an absolute breeze! If only the rest of the wedding planning were as smooth. Thanks again!"

Help Rebuild Haiti - One Mango at a Time
John O'Malley Burns has been volunteering selflessly in Haiti for the past four years. His commitment? Working with smallholder mango farmers to ensure they receive more of the value of their crops and are encouraged to plant and nurture more trees. The fledgling Mouvman Moun Mango (also known as 3M) program was just starting to make progress. Thanks to farmers' hard work and sales of Fair Trade Certified™ mangoes through Whole Foods Market, farmers throughout five different rural regions in Haiti got a bonus at Christmas time. This was meant to help them hold out for better (Fair Trade!) prices during the harvest season and avoid pre-selling their entire crop to middlemen at very low prices.
But the financial, technical, and organizational capacity of these groups was extremely fragile - even before the earthquake. Now, without help to rebuild infrastructure and train leaders, particularly where there have been casualties, the whole program is at risk of collapse.
John writes to us, describing the aftermath of the earthquake: "Downtown Port-au-Prince has been reduced in population by a third or half. Families are still trying to get in touch and find the one or two unaccounted-for people. Communities are working together to organize their own clean up. Tent cities have sprung up on all available open land and few people have gone back indoors to sleep. They construct shelter made of poles and repurposed wood from the rubble - using quilts, sheets, and cardboard as doors."
He goes on to reflect "After so many years I continue to be amazed by the resilience of the people dealing with the worst of catastrophes. There is an extraordinary opportunity here to bring this economically and socially fractured country together around the common and uniting goal of rebuilding after the quake. How can we make the coming change a lasting change to get the country back to better than it was?"
If you would like to support the effort to build an equitable, sustainable, mango-tree-filled Haiti, please visit http://www.eco-ventures.org/content/view/108/92/ to make a tax-deductible donation via Eco-Ventures, and please remember to specify donated funds are to be directed to Mouvman Moun Mango or 3M. Checks should be addressed: EcoVentures International c/o Lauren Frederic, 1519 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 200 Washington DC 20036. Thank you for supporting the rebuilding of Haiti.

Did you know?
FW de Klerk's brother, Dr Willem de Klerk, was the editor of a liberal local newspaper and openly criticised the National Party.
Frederik Willem (FW) de Klerk was born in Johannesburg on 18 March 1936. His grandfather and father were both involved in politics. His father, Jan de Klerk, was a Cabinet minister. FW would eventually follow in his father's footsteps.
After matriculating from Monument High School in Krugersdorp, he was admitted to Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, where he became involved in student politics. He graduated with BA and LLB degrees (cum laude) in 1958. He worked as an attorney until 1972, when he turned down an offer to assume the position of chair of administrative law at Potchefstroom University to concentrate on his political career.
The decision paid off. Later that year he was elected as member of Parliament for Vereeniging. Five years later, aged 42, he was appointed to the Cabinet. During the next 11 years he served as a minister in a number of portfolios, including mineral and energy affairs, and national education.
He was a rising star in both the National Party (NP), the ruling party of the day, and in the government. On 1 July 1985 he was appointed chairperson of the Minister's Council in the House of Assembly, and 18 months later he became leader of the House of Assembly.
In 1989 the NP caucus chose him as leader of the party at national level. Before the end of the year he was running the country and had committed to working towards a democratic South Africa.
De Klerk took over a month before the 1989 general elections, when the incumbent state president, PW Botha, was forced out by his Cabinet. In September of that year De Klerk was sworn in as president of a country that was on the brink of civil war, shunned by the international community and on the verge of bankruptcy as investors and banks withdrew from the apartheid state.
On 2 February 1990 – a year to the day after he became leader of the NP – he stunned the world by unbanning the African National Congress (ANC), the South African Communist Party and the Pan Africanist Congress.
Nine days later Nelson Mandela walked out of Victor Verster Prison a free man after having spent 27 years behind bars.
It would take four years before the first democratic elections were held in South Africa. During that time De Klerk and Mandela led their teams in often acrimonious debate leading up to the negotiation of a peaceful settlement.
Following the elections in April 1994, which the ANC won by a landslide, De Klerk handed over the reigns to Mandela on 10 May 1994. The former president became one of Mandela's executive deputy presidents under a Government of National Unity.
De Klerk led the NP into the opposition benches in June 1996 after withdrawing from the Government of National Unity. He was leader of the official opposition until his retirement from active party politics on 9 September 1997.
After retiring as a politician, De Klerk remained a sought-after international speaker and prolific media commentator in his capacity as head of the FW de Klerk Foundation.

A Very Potter Musical
A Very Potter Musical was performed at the University of Michigan from 9-11 April, 2009. It was subsequently posted to the video upload site YouTube in late June, where it obtained millions of hits, being considered on the of 10 Best Viral Videos of 2009 by Entertainment Weekly. Unfortunately, after its initial release on YouTube it had to be taken down due to copyright complaints. But luckily after much discussion it was re-uploaded. Although the first part of the musical may have over 9 million views, these views tend to go down as the musical progresses. The final part of the musical (Act 2 part 9) has only received 1.7 million views. A Very Potter Musical was written by
Matt Lang, Nick Lang, and Brian Holden, and features music and lyrics by A.J Holmes and Darren Criss. Originally, it was called Harry Potter: The Musical, and was posted on YouTube under that name. At first it was posted for the enjoyment of its cast, and their families and friends, but the public began to take notice of it. It was taken down, edited for content, and reposted under the name, A Very Potter Musical.
A Very Potter Sequel
A Very Potter Sequel was performed at the University of Michigan from 14-16 May, 2010. A video of it was shown at the Harry Potter convention Infinitus, and was later uploaded to YouTube on 22 July. Within the first day of its upload, it achieved 160,000 views. The first part of this musical currently has over 2.5 million views, but like its predecessor, the views tend to go down as the musical progresses, the final part (Act 2 part 14) only having just over 1 million views. A Very Potter Sequel was written by Matt Lang, Nick Lang, and Brian Holden, and also features music and lyrics by Darren Criss. Though it is titled Very Potter Sequel it can be considered a prequel as it takes place in the year before the events of AVPM.
A Very Potter Senior Year
A Very Potter Senior Year, the third and final instalment in Starkid's Harry Potter Musical Parody Series, premiered at LeakyCon 2012 in Chicago. It was uncertain whether or not the show would happen due to Darren Criss's time constraints with the show Glee, but they were able to gather almost all of the previous Starkid actors, including Darren, for one performance. Rather than a full show, it was a staged reading; the actors still had their books. In December 2012, Starkid released the free script and the soundtrack to the show on their online store. An announcement video says that the full read-through will be posted to YouTube in 2013. The soundtrack released did not feature Darren Criss as Harry, due to Glee contracts stating he is not allowed to sell his voice for any non-Glee related things, and instead had a replacement Harry. Evanna Lynch was also not featrued on the album. A single, released for free as to not break the terms of the Glee contract, called When I Was, was released featuring Darren Criss.

A THUG who attacked his friend with a bottle and hit his partner on the head with a knife in two separate violent outbursts has been locked up for two years and three months.
Matthew Nadin, 19, who had been drinking both times, left Declan Clayton with injuries to his neck and ear after the assault at a house on Leyland Road, Burnley, last June 1.
He was on bail when in January he struck Jessica Walsh, his girlfriend of three years, and then subjected her to 'gratuitous degradation' by dragging her to the floor by her hair as she was bleeding.
When police arrived, Nadin was standing at the top of the stairs and told them: "Its going to be a taser job, this," as, with fists clenched, he made threats to fight them, the town's crown court heard.
The hearing was told the defendant had previously attacked Ms Walsh, when she was seven months pregnant with their child.
Nadin, of Hurstwood Avenue, Burnley, had admitted wounding and assault causing actual bodily harm. He was sent to a Young Offenders' Institution.
