YOUNGSTERS from St Matthias Church in Malvern Link showed off their creativity when the school held an Easter bonnet parade.
"It's the second year we've done it and it's proving very popular," said head Claire Davies.
Parents came into the school for a special craft session to help their children design and make the hats.
And then on Wednesday, it was time to parade them in public.
"The children came in and registered as usual, and them they all put on their bonnets and we went out out of the school gate, round into Church Road, and back round to return to the school," said Mrs Davies. "The parents lined the streets and cheered their children on.
"There was really an amazing variety of bonnets. There were daffodils and other flowers, chicks, rabbits and much more," said Mrs Davies.
"The children really enjoy it and they were all smiles as they paraded around the community showing off their bonnets."

Smoking costs Victorians over $5 billion dollars a year, including almost $190 million to the Victorian health system, according to a new report prepared for Victorian Department of Human Services.
According to the report, Victorians bore a quarter of the $20 billion Australian social costs of smoking in 1998/99.
Individuals and their families shoulder the majority of the total costs of smoking on the community, amounting to approximately $4.3 billion.
The report shows:
Quit has welcomed the report by Dr David Collins and Professor Helen Lapsley, that also estimates the benefits that would arise from reductions in smoking prevalence by five percentage points over five years.
Executive Director of Quit, Mr Todd Harper, said effective quit smoking mass media campaigns drive a reduction in smoking rates and yield very high social benefits.
"The report shows us that if we can get smoking rates down by 5%, this can represent a long-term saving of over $10 000 per person prevented from taking up smoking by quit smoking interventions."
"As highlighted by Dr Collins and Professor Lapsley, quit smoking campaigns produce very high rates of return compared with many other public health programs."
Mr Harper pointed to the success of Quit's latest campaign advertisement featuring a gangrenous foot caused by smoking, as an example of how mass media can encourage smokers to make a quit attempt.
"The response to date to the campaign has been overwhelmingly positive with Victorian Quitline calls increasing by 73% after the initial launch, when compared to calls to the Quitline in the two weeks prior."
"Mass media quitting campaigns are a proven and effective way to push smoking rates down and this translates into social savings of millions of dollars."
According to Mr Harper, recent Victoria tobacco reforms will also play a significant role in curbing the devastating toll of tobacco on the community.
"The State Government has made a lot of progress in the recent years in relation to tobacco control."
"The package of tobacco reforms currently being rolled out by the State Government is an investment in the quality of life of future generations of Victorian that will no doubt in time reduce the enormous burden of tobacco on the State," Mr Harper.

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team (3-7) continued action at the Eckerd College Spring Invitational by dropping a pair in-region contest, Saturday afternoon from the Eddie C. Moore Complex. SLU fell in the opener, dropping an 8-2 decision to No.7-ranked the Valdosta State Blazers. It was followed with a 6-3 defeat at the hands of Flagler.
On the day, the Lions collected nine hits, including a trio of players who delivered two hits apiece. Lions' centerfielder Tiffinee Harvey helped lead the charge, as her two hits plated two runs. Brittany Yates went 2-for-7 on the day with a double, and Amber Martyn went 2-for-7 with a pair of runs scored. Sarah Boyd and Elysha Agen collected base hits, while Ana Castillo connected on the first base-hit of her Saint Leo career with a single down the right field line. Agen and Martyn also helped contribute to the Lions' run total by scoring two of their five runs.
In game one, the Lions took on national challengers Valdosta State. State entered the game No. 7 in the latest NFCA National Top-25 Poll. But it was the Lions who were the aggressors in the early. Harvey out SLU up on the board first with a one-out RBI doubles to left centerfield.
Valdosta State tied the ball game up in the bottom of the second with a run on two hits. The Blazers took the lead in the next inning as Amber Hutchins connected on a three-run home run to give VSU a 4-1 advantage.
The lead proved to be insurmountable as Valdosta padded the advantage with a run in the fourth and three more in the bottom the of the sixth.
Yates platted the Lions second run of the day as her RBI double, momentarily cut the lead to 5-2. In total, Saint Leo managed only four hits off of Holly Satterfield and committed two errors. In the circle, Jaime Walker picked-up the loss for the Lions and dropped to 1-2 on the season. After a solid first two innings, Walker surrendered seven runs over the final five. She struck out three batters and forced 11 ground ball outs.
The Lions immediately jumped into their second game of the day against Flagler College.
It was not the start SLU wanted, surrendering three runs in the top half of the first inning on no hits and two errors. The slow-paced game saw Flagler tack onto their lead in the third with one run, before icing it in the fourth with a pair of runs on two hits.
Saint Leo got on the scoreboard in the sixth when Boyd sent a rocket up the middle for an RBI single, scoring Agen.
The Lions did their best to get back into the game in the final inning as they loaded the bases with one out. After a sacrifice fly brought home freshman Katie Gwinn, Harvey knocked home Castillo to cut the lead in half, 6-3.
Unfortunately, SLU could not push anymore across the plate as they fell for the fourth-straight contest.
In the circle, the Lions' Ashton Whidden received the loss. She went 3.1 innings and allowed four walks and four earned runs over that period. Kristen Kelly did an admirable job in relief for the Lions. She went 3.2 innings, struck out two batters, and did not allow a run.
The Lions will round-out the 2010 version of the Eckerd College Invitational with a pair of non-conference contests beginning with Nova Southeastern at 11:30 a.m. Eckerd follows with a 2:00 p.m. scheduled first pitch. Each game will be broadcast live on the SaintLeoLions AudioCast Network.

LIFE will begin just before 40 for one woman taking on the London Marathon for charity.
Catherine Lloyd, aged 39, of Walnut Crescent, Malvern, will be hitting the streets of the capital on Sunday, April 13 to raise awareness of Harrison's Fund, which aims to boost research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a fatal genetic condition which affects the muscles.
Ms Lloyd has set herself a target of £2,000 and has already raised £1,500 for the charity which is named after seven-year-old Harrison Smith, of Surrey, who was diagnosed with the condition.
Ms Lloyd said: "Harrison is my best friend, Karen's nephew. Since his shocking diagnosis I've seen the enormous efforts the whole family has undertaken to make a difference to such a tragic disease.
"The challenges they have had to face, the courage, determination and commitment with which they persevere to make a difference to Harrison and give more hope to all those who suffer from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. "
Ms Lloyd, who turns 40 in December, added: "I like to set myself challenges in life and the London Marathon is a big one. I feel privileged to be able to run this for such an amazing cause, raising awareness and funds to try and make time for Harrison and so many others like him."
One in 3,500 boys is born with the fatal neuromuscular condition in the UK each year.
It is caused by the lack of a protein called dystrophin which results in progressive muscle weakness and the average lifespan for those with the condition is 20 years.
The charity focuses on trying to find a cure for the disease rather than on palliative care.

Two Beloved French Institutions Come Together in Dior Impressions

It seems to me Chanel is fast becoming the Swatch of luxury – and no one is really paying attention.
Today WWD is reporting that the couture house's affiliate, Paraffection, has acquired French super-glove-maker Causse, which joins the other EIGHT specialist ateliers they have bought up in the past decade including embroiderer Lesage and button maker Desrues. The spin goes: Chanel is preserving French know-how for posterity (and indeed, according to our piece on manufacturing in France, if you don't, say, use Lesage for embroidery, you would probably need to go to India to find the same skills). But at the same time they are acquiring a monopoly on said skills. Which is where the Swatch comparison comes in. Read more

You know, as we age, things tend to change. You know how it goes- pulling an all-nighter in college was nothing a little blush couldn't hide- if I tried to cover up the effects of an all-nighter at 371/2 years I'd be wearing a ninja mask. Skin loosens, joints creak, which I guess is probably just natural since they've been used for so long, and we all know how important it is to get exercise and practice healthy eating habits. But there are other parts of our bodies, and by ours I mean women's bodies, that also change and loosen, maybe not just with age, but are also impacted by childbirth. Today I'm going to write about the Intimina Exercisers, to help offset some of the "loosening" of your pelvic "floor." (Stop right here if you don't want to read about kegels). Or rather, the need for products like this.
I'm talking about your pubococcygeus muscles of the pelvic floor…kegel muscles…the muscles that help control (and I didn't know till recently, but men can have issues with this as well, although something tells me that the Intima won't have quite the same effect for a man as a woman). urinary incontinence and aid in childbirth.
Now, I will tell you that I have had zero experience with a vaginal childbirth. Mine was merely an observer in the births of my children. But being pregnant, and carrying that weight on my pelvis, combined with getting older, has left my pubococcygeus muscles, well, slackers.
Given the current state of muscle tone in my pelvic floor, I'm saying with confidence I'd be needing to do kegels every hour of every day, had I had vaginal deliveries. My sisters warned me. You'll be laughing!! And you'll pee!! You'll sneeze, and you'll pee! You'll do a jumping jack and you'll pee!
My sisters are all a lot older than I. I was horrified to hear this. My bladder is the size of a raisin.
I couldn't fathom what they meant.
But now, having had kids? I can. It's real. It isn't a myth. Things CHANGE in there. Er, down there.
So ladies, be it for your personal, ahem, pleasure, or for your ability to once again do jumping jacks, sneezing or laughing, exercise ALL of your muscles. It's never too early to start.
Be proactive.
Do your kegels. However you choose. But DO THEM.
You can find the Intimina line at CVS stores for purchase.

YOUNGSTERS around the town dressed up as book characters to celebrate authors and reading on World Book Day yesterday.
Primary and secondary schools around the town, including Covingham Park Primary, Kingsdown School, Isambard Community School, St Catherine's Catholic Primary School and St Mary's School, joined in the celebrations with various activities and events.
At South Marston C of E Primary School youngsters dressed up as characters from teacher Duncan Saunders' new children's books, Dinosaurs, Aliens and The Shop That Sells Everything.
The Year 3/4 teacher read excerpts from the book, which was published as an e-book three weeks ago and will be available in print in May.
He said: "My first ever job was working in a family supermarket, which was a great big rambling place and it nearly did sell everything. "I started wondering what it would be like if it really did sell everything. I put the idea on hold for a few years and then I found these publishers who specialise in children's fantasy literature.
"It went brilliantly. The children reacted really well to the reading and they seemed to enjoy it."
Students at Churchfields also made the day special by visiting and reading to younger pupils at feeder schools Oaktree Nursery and Primary School and Lainesmead Primary School.
Lorna Dickson, director of faculty for English at Churchfields, said: "My Year 8 class have been having a go at writing their own books, and to celebrate World Book Day we visited Oaktree and they read their books to them.
"They worked hard, used their imaginations and have done some fantastic work."
Lawn Primary School took the day a step further and celebrated a World Book Week with a special visit from an author, performances from West End in Schools theatre company, and many other reading activities including the launch of a lunchtime Kindle Club.
This morning, youngsters are taking part in a Book Character Parade after dressing up as their favourite characters following a class assembly focusing on the importance of reading.
Kelly James, headteacher at Lawn Primary School, said: "There was a definite buzz around the school this week in particular, with pupils and staff sharing their love of reading and finding exciting ways to raise the profile of reading.
"Children have had many fantastic opportunities from meeting and working with real-life authors to workshops taken by professional actors."

Steeler Ta'amu to stand trial after allegedly fleeing from police, crashing into cars in the South Side
A Pittsburgh Steelers rookie will stand trial on assault and drunken driving charges.
Alameda Ta'amu waived his right to a preliminary hearing before District Judge Oscar Petite on Thursday. Afterward, with attorney Robert DelGreco at his side, he expressed remorse. Ta'amu's mother accompanied him to the hearing in Pittsburgh Municipal Court.
"I'm sorry," Ta'amu said. "Sorry is the only word I can say right now."
Pittsburgh police accused him of fleeing from police, crashing into vehicles and then fighting with officers in the South Side on Oct. 14.
The nose tackle was temporarily suspended from the team.
"He is contrite," DelGreco said. "He has accepted responsibility, and he is in counseling."
On Thursday afternoon in the Steelers locker room, Ta'amu, 22, said the team has supported him.
"I have good teammates, and they've helped me a lot. (Bret) Keisel, Casey (Hampton), guys like that, they really have helped me move past this as far as the team is concerned," Ta'amu said. "I wouldn't say that football is an escape for me, but being in this locker room is a home away from home for me, and I'm comfortable with that.
"So, I'm really fortunate to be on a team like the Steelers, one that has supported me from the very beginning. I really don't have any family in Pittsburgh," said Ta'amu, of Kent, Wash., "but some of the guys have come over my house. So, that's always nice. And my mom has been here, living with me, for about three weeks now."

Gregory Maguire
1994, 2005, 2010
Website: www.gregorymaguire.com
Raised in a family of writers (his father was a journalist and his stepmother a poet), Gregory Maguire grew up with a great love of books, especially fairy tales and fantasy fiction. He composed his own stories from an early age and released his first book for children, The Lightning Time, in 1978, just two years after graduating from the State University of New York at Albany.
In 1995, he published his first adult novel. A bold, revisionist view of Frank L. Baum's classic Oz stories, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West places one of literature's most reviled characters at the center of a dark dystopian fantasy and raises provocative questions about the very nature of good and evil. Purists criticized Maguire for tampering with a beloved classic, but the book received generally good reviews (John Updike, writing in The New Yorker, proclaimed it "an amazing novel"). Maguire's currency increased even further when the book was turned into the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Wicked in 2003.
In the wake of his breakthrough novel, Maguire has made something of a specialty out of turning classic children's tales on their heads. He retold the legends of Cinderella and Snow White in Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (1999) and Mirror, Mirror (2003); he raised the ghost of Ebenezer Scrooge in Lost (2001); and, in 2005, he returned to Oz for Son of a Witch, the long-awaited sequel to Wicked. He has reviewed fantasy fiction for the Sunday New York Times Book Review and has contributed his own articles, essays, and stories to publications like Ploughshares, The Boston Review, the Christian Science Monitor, and The Horn Book Magazine.
In addition, Maguire has never lost his interest in—or enthusiasm for—children's literature. He is the author of The Hamlet Chronicles, a bestselling seven-book series of high-camp mystery-adventures with silly countdown titles like Seven Spiders Spinning and Three Rotten Eggs. He has taught at the Center for the Study of Children's Literature at Simmons College and is a founding member of Children's Literature New England (CLNE), a nonprofit organization that focuses attention on the significance of literature in the lives of children.
As artist-in-residence, Gregory Maguire held a book signing for his book, Seven Spiders Spinning, after he gave a lecture as part of The Eye of the Beholder series. In his lecture, Death and Perfection: The Gardner Madonnas Speak, Maguire discussed the themes of motherly attitudes and the nature of childhood as seen through the different depictions of Madonna and Child in the Gardner collection. He illustrated his talk with ten Madonnas in the Museum, located in the East Cloister, the Dutch Room, the Tapestry Room, the Raphael Room, the East Italian Room, the Long Gallery, and the Veronese Room. About the title he said:
"The title comes from the interest in the fact that it is a common parental thing to perceive their child as perfect and immortal and then to have to grapple with the reality that neither is true."
Maguire also participated in many education visits working with children from local elementary schools. He shared his own experience of becoming and author with students from the Lincoln School, the Farragut School, and the Tobin School, and helped them develop their own writing by keeping journals. He returned to the Gardner in April 2006 to give a Noontime Talk, and read from new work.

Minn. Orchestra cancels rest of season
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Orchestra has canceled the rest of its season, citing musicians' refusal to negotiate while a lockout continues.
Orchestra management on Wednesday announced the cancellation of the final two weeks of the winter season.
In making the announcement, management also announced a proposed three-week summer season for July, and also proposed three possible dates for negotiations at the end of May.
Minnesota Public Radio News reports a representative of the musicians union called the season cancellation "a devastating loss." I
In late April the musicians said there could be no negotiations while they were still locked out. However, the musicians did not immediately reject the new proposed dates for talks, saying they will gather more information before deciding.

'Space for Cycling' Sheffield Meeting 25th January
Cycling UK, London Cycling Campaign and Cyclenation are holding the 2nd 'Space for Cycling' joint meeting in Sheffield at the Showroom & Workstation on Saturday 25 January.
'Space for Cycling' Sheffield Meeting Agenda is available to view (please see attachment below)
Space for Cycling is a campaign aimed at mobilising the cyclist vote and raising the profile of cycling preceding the local elections in May 2014 and the general elections in 2015. 'Space for Cycling' was created by the London Cycling Campaign and is now being adopted and by Cycling UK and other cycling organisations.
Within London, the London Cycling Campaign's 'Space4cycling' campaign is focussed on the London Borough elections in May 2014. It aims to secure commitments from borough candidates to local measures to deliver Space4Cycling, including 20mph limits, traffic-calmed or traffic-free routes and greenways, routes to school, or dedicated space on main roads.
Outside London, we will be focussing not only on securing commitments to 'Space4Cycling' but also the 'Funding4Cycling' needed to deliver this. It will involve pressing councils and councillors to commit to 'Space4Cycling', but also to work with cycle-friendly councils and councillors to secure funding for this from Government and the national political parties, as they prepare their manifestos for the 2015 elections.
Crucially though, 'Space4Cycling' is also a major opportunity to boost involvement in local cycle campaigning and campaign groups, and indeed to help new campaign groups to form in areas of the UK where these are currently lacking.
If your group would like to get involved with these key campaign for 2014, please send someone along to Sheffield on the 25th to find out more.
The minutes from the first meeting, which took place on 16 December 2013 in Birmingham, are also attached below.
This event is for Cycling UK Right to Ride Representatives, Cycling UK groups and affiliate groups, Cyclenation groups and London Cycle Campaign members only.

Steve Mortimer, the greatest ever Canterbury player, says the Bulldogs coach Des Hasler will complete a footballing miracle if he can steer the team to a win in Sunday's grand final.
Mortimer regards what Hasler has already done as incredible. Hasler switched from Manly after winning the premiership with them last season to a club he wasn't originally supposed to join until next year and immediately transformed them into competition heavyweights.
After not even making the finals last year, Canterbury will now play Melbourne in the last game of this season.
But, as far as "Turvey" Mortimer, the former champion halfback, is concerned, incredible won't be a word good enough to describe it if Hasler takes them all the way.
"It's almost a miracle already, what Des has done," Mortimer said yesterday. "It will be a miracle if he can pull it off. Coaches don't leave clubs after winning a premiership, for a start. But there were circumstances that resulted in Des parting company with Manly and he came here this year instead of in 2013.
"I'm not going to say he's the greatest coach of all time, because some great coaches have come before and I've got the utmost respect for people like Jack Gibson and Wayne Bennett, but no one has ever done what Des is trying to do – win comps at two different clubs, in back-to-back years. He would already have his own place in history if he managed to do that – and still have plenty of years in coaching to go."
Hasler is very secretive about his coaching methods and you have to be special to be invited down to where the genius works – in the rooms underneath the grandstand at Belmore Sports Ground – and get an insight into what he does.
Mortimer, a Canterbury Leagues Club director, was lucky enough to get such an invitation.
"I had a meeting with Todd [Greenberg, the Canterbury chief executive] last week, and Des was there," Mortimer said. "He took me down and showed me what they did off the field, all the scientific stuff they used to measure players' performances. I can't be specific about anything, and Dessie knows I would never blurt out any details, but what I will say is that I was amazed by it. I have never seen anything like it in my life.
"I walked away thinking how diligent and thorough Des was with his preparation. I mean, I knew he was a great coach – we all do – but to get a bit of insight into the process really opened my eyes. The thing is, though, while you're being scientific in measuring the performances of players you've also got to remember they're human beings, with different personalities, and Des is obviously able to relate to them all very well.
"I played against Des, so I knew him then. I wouldn't say I knew him well, but well enough to know that he's a gentleman, with old-fashioned values. He's intense and determined when he has to be, which helped make him a great player and has now made him a great coach, but at the same time he's a very decent bloke and that's the main reason I like him."
Mortimer said the form of Melbourne fullback Billy Slater and the ability of the Storm to dominate the play-the-ball in defence were the biggest threats to the Bulldogs in the decider.
"Slater looked like he was struggling for a while after coming back from that knee injury he got in State of Origin, but he looks great now," Mortimer said. "He's bouncing around again, and finding gaps. He's just so competitive and the Bulldogs are going to have to work hard to try to restrict his influence.
"The Storm are a very disciplined side. Like Des says, they are the benchmark in this competition. But the Bulldogs are very disciplined as well, and if they can keep that approach going where they move the ball quickly between a few forwards before reaching the defensive line it could really hurt the Storm.
"The Storm are used to getting three or four defenders into the tackles and slowing the play-the-ball right down. They are the experts at doing it, but if you can put them in a position where they can't target an obvious ball-carrier and they only get one or two defenders into the tackle, then they won't be able to slow it down as they would like and it could change the game in favour of the Bulldogs."

Breaking down 3-plus seasons of offensive breakdowns at UF
Published: Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 11:58 p.m.
During hard times like these, when the yards, first downs and points are difficult to come by and the losses are accumulating, coaches and athletic directors tend to urge the fan base to be patient, saying that everything will be OK.
Saturday's game
Who: UF (4-3, 3-2 SEC) vs. Georgia (4-3, 3-2)
When: 3:30 p.m.
Radio: WRUF
Where: EverBank Field, Jacksonville
But in the case of Florida's slumping offense, it may not be realistic to ask for more patience from the fans. Because this slump the Gators are mired in has not been for just a few games or a few months, it is now deep into its fourth consecutive season.
The Florida offense has been erratic, sporadic and one of the most inefficient and ineffective in college football over the past four years. The Gators have been missing more than they've been hitting since the Tim Tebow era ended with an offensive explosion (51 points, 482 yards passing, 659 total yards) in the 2010 Sugar Bowl victory over Cincinnati.
The UF offense has not had a performance even close to that one since.
Here are some of the grim facts and figures covering the three-plus seasons of offensive struggles:
■ The Gators have been held to single digits in scoring in seven games.
■ There has been only one 300-yard passing game, that coming against Furman in 2011.
■ There have been 28 games where the Gators have thrown for less than 200 yards.
■ The Gators have had only 16 games where they produced 400 or more total yards.
■ UF's most productive offense over the past four years was Steve Addazio's 2010 group, which finished the season ranked 88th in the nation in total offense.
In the two-plus seasons under Will Muschamp, the offensive numbers are even more startling.
Here are some of the facts and figures under Muschamp:
■ UF has been held to single-digit points in four games.
■ The offense has passed for less than 200 yards in 22 games.
■ The Gators have produced 400 yards or more in only 11 games.
■ UF had three consecutive games with less than 100 passing yards during the 2012 season.
■ This year's team ranks 106th in the nation in total offense. The Gators finished 104th last season and 105th in 2011.
Overall, in the past four seasons, the Gators have been close to inept at times in the passing game and have struggled sustaining drives and scoring points.
Here's a season-by-season look at the UF offense
Points per game: 29.8 (43rd in the nation).
Passing yards per game: 184.3 (88th in the nation).
Total offense: 351.2 yards per game (83rd in the nation).
Best offensive performance: 48 points and 547 total yards in a 48-10 win over Appalachian State.
Worst offensive performance: three points, 281 total yards in a 31-3 loss to Alabama.
The skinny: The Gators had five games where they were held to less than 300 total yards and had six games where they threw for less than 200 yards. UF did not have a 300-yard passing game.
Points per game: 25.5 (71st in the nation).
Passing yards per game: 185.7 (88th in the nation).
Total offense: 328.7 yards per game (105th in the nation).
Best offensive performance: 48 points and 520 total yards in a 48-10 victory at Kentucky.
Worst offensive performance: six points and 194 total yards in a 17-6 loss at Auburn.
The skinny: The Gators scored 12 points or less in five games and had six games where they threw for less than 134 yards. UF had one 300-yard passing game (329 against Furman).
Points per game: 26.5 (78th in the nation).
Passing yards per game: 146.3 (118th in the nation).
Total offense: 334.0 yards per game (104th in the nation).
Best offensive performance: 37 points and 555 total yards in a 37-20 victory at Tennessee.
Worst defensive performance: nine points and 266 total yards in a 17-9 loss to Georgia.
The skinny: Even in one of the biggest wins of the season, a 44-11 thumping of South Carolina, the Gators gained only 183 total yards and threw for just 94. UF had three consecutive games with less than 100 passing yards (LSU, Vanderbilt and South Carolina) and gained less than 300 total yards in five games. The Gators had only three games where they produced 400 yards or more of offense.
Points per game: 21.1 (103rd in the nation).
Passing yards per game: 175.4 (109th in the nation).
Total offense: 336.9 yards a game (106th in the nation).
Best offensive performance: 24 points and 415 total yards in a 24-6 win over Toledo.
Worst offensive performance: six points and 240 total yards in a 17-6 loss at LSU.
The skinny: UF has thrown for less than 200 yards in five of seven games and scored 30 points or more only twice. In the 36-17 loss at Missouri last Saturday, the Gators managed only 151 yards of total offense (59 rushing; 92 passing) and 11 first downs, while averaging only 2.5 yards per play.

About the Western Americana Collection
In 1905, the University of California purchased the book and manuscript collections of Hubert Howe Bancroft, a successful entrepreneur, bookseller, publisher, and historian. The original Bancroft Collection included materials not only from the western United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, but also from Canada, Mexico, and Central America. The Western Americana collection, described below, now constitutes the largest and most diverse group of research materials within The Bancroft Library. Please see The Latin Americana Collections for a description of materials relating to Mexico and Central America. The Western Americana collection documents the history of human activity in North America primarily west of the Rocky Mountains from the earliest days to the present time, with greatest emphasis on California. Thus, the Western Americana collections provide an unparalleled opportunity to explore the social, political, economic, environmental, and cultural development of the western half of the United States, made possible through the collection�s wide range of primary and secondary resources. Hubert Howe Bancroft believed that historical analysis depended on an examination of a broad range of contemporary materials. The comprehensive, exhaustive nature of his collecting practices set the standard for continued expansion of the Western Americana collection, with shifts to reflect changes in society, culture, politics and demographics in the West. The Western Americana Collection continues to grow, with both retrospective and contemporary materials being added to the collection.
Overview of Collections
Native American Studies/Anthropology/Archeology/Linguistics
Spanish Encounter and Colonial Settlement
Exploration of the Pacific Coast and the American West
Maps and Atlases
The Mexican-American War (1846-1848)
Westward Migration
The Gold Rush
Mining in the West, and its Demographic Consequences
Land Surveys and Scientific Expeditions
Economic Development: Transport, Lumber, Agriculture, Commerce
Religious and Utopian Communities
Urban Communities: Emergence and Growth
The 1906 San Francisco earthquake and ensuing fire were a cataclysmic event that destroyed the city with casualties estimated between 3000 to 5000 individuals. It was the largest urban disaster in the United States before Hurricane Katrina. Communities throughout the region, such as San Jose, Santa Rosa, and Stanford also suffered severe damage and loss of life. The event was one of the best documented disasters with all aspects of the earthquake and ensuing fire�from first-hand accounts to the relief effort to the political and social maneuvering related to the city�s recovery�providing vivid documentation of the event. After the earthquake, San Francisco arose, phoenix-like from its ashes, culminating in its sponsoring of the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition (PPIE). The Bancroft Library houses the records of the PPIE, as well as many other pictorial and manuscript collections related to this world�s fair.
The Western Americana Collection also documents industrial build up throughout the twentieth century. Especially of note are the papers of industrialists Henry and Edgar Kaiser. The Henry J. Kaiser papers document the transformation of the Bay area into a major industrial area during and immediately after World War II. There was a wave of migration into the area to work in the shipyards, changing the population and demographic character of the region. Washington and Oregon were similarly developed, with shipyards operating on Puget Sound and along the Willamette and Columbia rivers. The Kaiser Corporation was also responsible for building major dams in the West, including Hoover and Grand Coulee dams.
Ethnic Communities
The Environmental Movement in the Twentieth Century
Personal and Family Papers
Political Collections
Women�s Rights and Social Movements
The social tensions and social activism of the sixties and onward are reflected in a number of collections, especially the Social Protest collection. The Bancroft Library has given particular attention to the Free Speech Movement on the Berkeley campus, the Disability Rights Movement, and activists associated with People�s Park in Berkeley. In addition to the Western Americana collections, the University Archives for the Berkeley campus contains information on many of the campaigns and struggles for social justice.

The final campaign push is on in New Hampshire before the polls open Tuesday, and a lot is at stake.
Mitt Romney stands to make history, but as we learned in Iowa, in politics, you don't take anything for granted.
Newt Gingrich seemed at ease heading into a town hall meeting in Manchester, N.H..
It was a stark contract from a tense NBC News debate Sunday night when he spared with frontrunner Romney.
In the debate, Romney said, "I went to Massachusetts to make a difference. I didn't go there to make a political career, running time and time again."
Gingrich replied, "Can we drop a little bit of the pious baloney?"
There is no question Romney has a target on his back having come away with the top prize in Iowa, if only by the skin of his teeth.
In New Hampshire, he'll have to watch out for U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, of Texas.
Paul's wife, Carol, told Local 2, "It's unbelievable and it just spurs Ron on. It's a great thing just to see the look in the people's eyes who care so deeply about our country and they know that Ron cares about this country and it's just marvelous."
According to a recent Suffolk University Political Research Center poll, Romney's down slightly with 33 percent of the vote. Paul has 20 percent. Jon Huntsman has 13 percent.
In the bottom half: Gingrich, Rick Santorum, then Gov. Rick Perry falls dead last.
Twelve percent are undecided.
SU Political Research Center Director David Paleologos told Local 2, "We found that the highest undecided was women 18 to 44 years of age, 19 percent versus 12 percent statewide, so that's a big number and that's a number that obviously candidates will be targeting in the next 24 hours."
If Romney picks up another win in New Hampshire, it'll be the first time a non-incumbent has won both Iowa and New Hampshire.

A HOUSING estate for over-60s in Darwen is to have almost £100,000 spent on it to reduce the risk of flooding.
Residents in Bowling Green Close have been hit by floods on a number of occasions since the estate was built more than two decades ago.
But the Environment Agency, along with nearby metal fabrication firm WEC, will fund work to a culvert behind the estate.
Whitehall councillor David Foster said the culvert running under the estate had a number of right-angles and when debris got caught in it there could be major blockages.
Coun Foster said: "There was major flooding eight years ago and it turned out a massive tree trunk had got into the culvert.
"I have also been told that items like plastic chairs have been found in there.
"The main aspect of this work will see a metal grille put over the entrance to the culvert to stop things like this getting in again."
As well as the grille, an access path to the entrance will be built so it can be monitored regularly.
The Environment Agency agreed to meet 90 per cent of the cost of work, which will be put out to tender soon.
The final 10 per cent will be met in kind by WEC owner Steve Hartley, who agreed to supply materials for the work. Coun Foster's wife and council colleague Karimeh praised Mr Hartley for helping.
She said: "Yet again WEC has come to the aid of the community. We think he should be officially recognised in some way by the Queen for all the things he has done in Darwen."
Bowling Green Close resident Pat Turner said the work would be welcomed by everyone on the estate.
She said: "It is absolutely wonderful this work will be done. Everyone is thrilled.
"In 2004 we were really badly flooded and I got so worked up I ended up having a heart attack and spent five weeks in hospital.
"That is how nervous you can get when it rains hard, so it is a huge relief."
A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: "We look forward to receiving the local authority's application for this funding and are pleased to be able to be involved in a project which will benefit the community of Darwen."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/7/2013 (1496 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Bob knows he won't be retiring early. Without a work pension to fall back on, he figures he has to work until at least 65.
The 61-year-old earns $57,000 a year working in the private sector and has saved $350,000 in an RRSP, entirely invested in GICs earning about three per cent per year.
He also has $50,000 in a savings account, part of which he will use to buy a new car worth about $15,000 before he retires.
"My goals once I retire are to golf a little more, take a winter vacation every year in a warm climate and bike tour during the summer months," says Bob, who has no debt and owns a home worth $400,000.
He says he doesn't expect his monthly expenses of $2,866 to change much once retired, but he does estimate he will spend an additional $6,000 a year on vacations.
With no spouse and children to worry about, he plans to make his assets last as long as he does. But a question keeps nagging at him: "Can I really afford to retire?"
RBC financial planner Rod Lowry says Bob has enough money to fund his retirement plan, but it will not come without sacrifice.
At first glance, he's in good shape financially with no debt and about $800,000 in assets, including his home.
But the obvious downside is his only sources of guaranteed income are OAS and CPP.
When he retires at 65, he can expect about $19,848 annually from government pensions.
This is far short of what he will need to fund his annual expenses of about $34,392, or $2,866 a month.
"Bob's taxable pensions will not cover his pre-tax annual income need of $43,150 for expenses, creating a shortfall of almost $2,000 per month."
But the shortfall is likely to be higher because his monthly costs are not indexed to inflation, and he plans to spend an additional $6,000 a year on vacations.
While it may come as no surprise to Bob he'll rely on savings to fund much of retirement, he may be shocked at how quickly he will burn through his RRSP.
In the first year of his retirement, he will buy a new car, and he should also make one last lump-sum contribution to maximize his RRSP.
Those amounts alone will use up half of his non-registered savings. The remainder can be used to fund the monthly shortfall of about $2,000.
Then he will have to dip into the RRSP to pay for vacations.
By the time he retires, he will have about $450,000 in the registered account, based on maximizing annual contributions and a three per cent return.
To fully fund his expenses, vacations included, he will need to withdraw about $32,352 a year for a total combined gross income of $52,300.
"The increase in additional registered income, however, pushes Bob into a higher tax bracket," he says. "This increases his marginal tax rate from 27.75 to 34.75 per cent, on any amount above $43,562, based on 2013 tax brackets."
Indexing this income to inflation, his retirement savings would be depleted by age 80.
While it's likely he won't be travelling much at that stage, he probably will need more than OAS and CPP to pay his bills. As a result, he'll likely have to sell his home, and rent or buy a small condo at a substantially lower price so he can use the surplus from the sale to fund his needs.
Another option is use a home equity line of credit once he retires to fund vacations.
Bob would only withdraw enough funds from his retirement savings to have a taxable income up to $43,562, allowing him to remain in the lower tax bracket.
"This would provide an after tax income of $34,396, fully funding his monthly expenses except for travel," Lowry says. "The remaining $6,000 required for that would come from a credit facility against the house, which he can repay when he sells it."
This strategy would extend his retirement savings until age 85, at which point he'd have to sell his home, buy a life lease or some other form or lower cost housing while using the remaining proceeds to fund other expenses not covered by CPP and OAS income.
Bob should still have plenty of equity left in his home even after borrowing $6,000 a year for 14 years, assuming he stops travelling at age 80.
"If the home increased in value by two per cent a year, its value would be $527,000 at age 80 and his debt against it would be about $84,000 plus interest."
Bob's interest initially would be $17.50 a month per $6,000 at 3.5 per cent. If rates rose to 6 per cent, his monthly costs would increase to $30 per $6,000, and if he borrows all $84,000 by age 80, his interest costs would then be about $420 per month. Inevitably, Bob may end up borrowing even more just to pay the interest costs later into this plan, Lowry says.
For this reason and the fact Bob is risk averse -- considering he invests only in GICs -- borrowing against his home to fund his lifestyle may not be the best option.
As alternatives, he could scale back retirement spending or delay retirement a few more years.
Regardless of what Bob chooses to do, Lowry says the outcome should be largely the same.
"Bob can comfortably enjoy a nice retirement, easily affording a winter holiday each year, and still have plenty of equity remaining in the home should he need it."

View Melanie Park's photo album here
Melanie Park was named Indiana's 2012 Teacher of the Year at a surprise school assembly on October 10, 2011. Park teaches Reading Remediation in grades six, seven and eight.
"Melanie's enthusiasm spills into all aspects of her teaching," Bennett said. "She believes all students—regardless of their life circumstances—can learn, and she is an effective and inspirational teacher that her students will always remember."
At the beginning of each school year, Park's students set reading goals and create data portfolios to chart their own reading growth. She strives to connect with each student individually, motivating them and differentiating instruction to meet their needs. Park holds leadership positions in a variety of student activities, focusing on academics, fitness, community service and creativity.
Her greatest reward at the end of the school year is seeing the growth documented in her students' data portfolios. "I feel like I am meeting my students in the victory circle," Park wrote in her Teacher of the Year application.
Park received both her undergraduate degree and Masters of Science in Language Education at Indiana University. In her ten years of teaching, Park has taught first grade, Language Arts, Social Studies and French. She also currently teaches an online course for teachers, through Cengage Learning, about how to teach writing. This year, she received a 2011 Lilly Teacher Creativity Fellowship grant for her engaging lessons.
"The Huntington County Community School Corporation is extremely proud of Melanie Park. She exemplifies great teachers and great teaching in Huntington and across the State of Indiana," Huntington County Community Schools Superintendent Tracey R. Shafer said. "She views herself as an academic trainer whose primary mission is to relate, motivate and differentiate instruction for her students. She has an exceptional ability to achieve this mission by using her life experiences and learned abilities as a professional educator to connect with the learning needs of her students. Her sincere desire and ability to help children succeed sets her apart as a classroom teacher."
An Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) committee comprised of department personnel and past Teacher of the Year honorees as well as external community and education leaders selected Park as the Teacher of the Year after interviewing ten finalists and making classroom visits. Park will be Indiana's nomination for the 2012 National Teacher of the Year honor. All 32 Indiana Teacher of the Year candidates will be recognized at a banquet on November 14, 2011.

Follow these tips for gorgeous stems you'll want to show off in short shorts and dresses!
-Faye Brennan
The best accessory for nice weather isn't a great espadrille or even killer sunglasses – it's long, lean, sexy legs! They go well with everything, especially shorts and cute dresses. If you've been neglecting your gams all winter, now is the perfect time to get them ready to be seen in the sunlight… and in public.
Alexis Wolfer is the founder of The Beauty Bean, a site dedicated to realistic beauty and wellness. She's an expert when it comes to putting her best leg forward, and she has some great tips for sexifying yours for spring. Follow her advice for stems that will drive the guys crazy!

Tip 1: Diminish Cellulite & Stretch Marks
As Kim Kardashian has said, "Everyone has cellulite." Unfortunately, she's right, but there are some things you can do to reduce the appearance of it on your legs. For a quick and easy home remedy, try Wolfer's DIY trick:
"If you brew coffee daily, use the cooled grounds to make a double-duty scrub that will exfoliate and reduce the appearance of cellulite at the same time – two things that are a must for sexy legs," she says. "Just mix your cooled grounds with coconut oil (or any other oil you have at home) and, standing in the bath to reduce mess, rub the mixture on your thighs, hips and bottom in circular motions. It will exfoliate dead skin, promote circulation and help reduce the appearance of dimples."
For those who are DIY-weary, Wolfer suggests StriVectin-SD® Intensive Concentrate for Stretch Marks & Wrinkles ($135, strivectin.com) for stretch marks, and
Peter Thomas Roth Ultimate Body Sculpting Slimming Gel ($100, dermstore.com) for cellulite.
Tip 2 and 3, up next…

Hi there!
I want to add .html at the and of url if not exist through htaccess. For example my links are like this
example.com/page/thepageso I need this page to become example.com/page/thepage.html
Thanks in advance.
That's already in the sample coding of my signature's tutorial article.
Out of interest, why do you need that? It's much nicer not to have the extension.
I think with .html at the and is good for SEO.
No, it's irrelevant.
In this case, I don't need .html at the and Thanks.
Woow, you have really good articles, thanks.
Thank you Edgar. I hope it helped you, too, as it's done many other members over the past years.

Problem is that script more and more triggers Timeout exception although the domain has NS records. In the last stages when is almost on the end of the list of domains is nearly every domain evaluated as without NS records.
I think problem is with threads or in main_thread part of the script.
I used threading because I need to process 280k domains and I need to process it fast. So, I created for every domain thread (main_thread) and within the main thread Subthreads (NS_getAAAA_thread) for every obtained NS record.
This is just the part of the whole scirpt where Im testing simultaneously glue, AAAA, MX and NS record for every domain in list.

Man testifies in 1-punch Vegas Strip casino death
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 7:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 7:23 p.m.
LAS VEGAS — A former Bradford County High School teacher and football coach testified Thursday that he felt threatened by a Utah man who he said made derogatory racial comments and touched him on the chest and arm three times before Hawkins knocked the man to the floor of a Las Vegas casino.
Benjamin Gerard Hawkins, a resident of Gainesville, testified that John Massie appeared intoxicated when the two men exchanged words in a restroom, and that Massie wouldn't leave him alone until the single fatal punch on July 6, 2011, at O'Shea's Casino.
A medical examiner testified that Massie died after his head hit the floor.
"After he touched me a second time, I told him to get the (expletive) away from me and don't touch me again," Hawkins told the jury hearing his involuntary manslaughter trial. "He slaps me on the shoulder and says, 'You'll be all right.' "
"I told him, 'If you touch me again, I'll knock you the (expletive) out,' " Hawkins said.
Hawkins, 39, went to Las Vegas for vacation with his wife and friends. He told police he was defending himself from a man who he believed was threatening him.
"Where I come from, you have the ability to defend yourself if someone is going to hurt you," he said.
Hawkins is black. Massie, 38, was white, a divorced father who lived in Roy, Utah. He worked as an occupational safety and health worker at Hill Air Force Base. A black co-worker, David Battle, testified Thursday that he never heard Massie make a racial comment or joke.
The jury was told that a toxicology report found Massie had a blood-alcohol percentage of 0.172, or more than twice the legal limit for driving in Nevada.
Police who interviewed Hawkins didn't ask him to submit to a blood-alcohol test, but Hawkins testified he had several vodka and orange juice drinks after he and his group arrived the previous morning in Las Vegas.
Hawkins told jurors that Massie started the encounter in the men's room with an unsolicited comment about "black guys and these yellow shirts."
"All I was doing was washing my hands, and he was making racial statements to me," said Hawkins, who was wearing a bright yellow polo shirt. "My alert level was through the roof."
The two men exchanged several more words before Massie exited the men's room first. Hawkins said Massie called to him again as Hawkins walked past.
"He said, 'I got something for your ass,' " Hawkins testified, "like he had intentions that he was going to strike me."
Hawkins said he felt he couldn't risk turning his back on Massie, and casino surveillance video shows the two men a few feet apart before Hawkins turns and throws the punch. Massie's hands were in his pockets.
Hawkins remained at the scene after the punch, apparently talking to his wife and friends before security arrived and paramedics and police were called.
Las Vegas police Detective Jeff Rosgen testified that he thought the case could fall anywhere between self-defense and murder.
Prosecutor Maria Lavell noted discrepancies and inconsistencies between Hawkins' accounts to police hours after the incident and the detailed accounts that Hawkins provided to the jury on Thursday. Rosgen said Hawkins never specified the racial taunts or what made him feel threatened.
Hawkins said Thursday that he was emotionally wrought at the time and had little more than a nap after traveling cross-country that day.
Hawkins could face probation or up to four years in prison depending on the outcome of the case.
He has been on administrative duties at Bradford County High in Starke, pending the outcome of the Las Vegas case.

I believe this is the first incident of ebola in the US where a PMSC has been called up to guard the quarantine site? I mentioned how important security is to the response to this epidemic, that is quickly moving towards a pandemic, and I think we will see more of this. The CDC gave a worst case scenario of upwards of around 1.4 million people in Africa to be infected with ebola by January of next year.
Back to the main story, and that is the PMSC response to this outbreak. The company tasked with guarding the apartment and family quarantined in this particular incident is called Heartland Patrol, and the location is Dallas, Texas. I noticed that they have some pretty nice patrol vehicles? In the photo below, the vehicle being used is a Dodge Charger, and I know some police departments would love to have that thing.
Another point to bring up with this event is preparation for a security job that deals with infectious diseases and viruses. This kind of security work is new territory for security professionals that are involved with disaster response like this. My advice for anyone getting involved with this response is to update your insurance, and check if they will cover you if you actually work in such an environment.
Your best piece of equipment for a security gig like this is your mind. Get educated on everything to do with ebola, and increase your orientation on working in that environment so you can make good decisions. Work closely with the on site medical professionals and stay disciplined once you have a good plan for working around a quarantine site or treatment center. If you do not have access to that kind of resource, then seek it out. Go online, find local medical professionals who specialize in ebola, and become a student of this virus. Knowledge is your best weapon to counter it. And of course, your security mission is your primary reason for being there, so understand everything that it takes to do that job properly.
Another thing to brush up on is incident command. For large disaster responses, incident command is the primary tool for managing such things. So if your private security detail is a part of that kind of operation, then it behooves you to understand how that system works.
I have also seen jobs dealing with the medical response. Medical staff are in high demand in Africa and they are getting swamped. So if you have a medical background and a security contracting background, you would be perfect for these types of contracts. Especially in places like Africa, where the fear component is very high, which makes people act irrationally. Aid groups would be wise to have some kind of security professional tagging along, just so they can pick up on any of the signs of that type of thing. –Matt
Ebola family under armed guard after trying to leave quarantine
October 3, 2014
A woman who has been confined to her Dallas apartment under armed guard after a man infected with Ebola stayed at her home said she never imagined this could happen to her so far from disease-ravaged West Africa.
Louise Troh said Thursday that she is tired of being locked up and wants health authorities to decontaminate her home.
Authorities say the circle of people in the US possibly exposed to Ebola widened after the man, who arrived from Liberia last month, was discharged from a hospital without being tested for the deadly virus.
The confinement order, which also bans visitors, was imposed after the family failed to comply with a request to stay home, according to Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. Texas Health Commissioner David Lakey said the order would ensure that Troh, her 13-year-old son and two nephews can be closely monitored for signs of the disease.
The first Ebola diagnosis in the nation has raised concerns about whether the disease that has killed 3,300 people in West Africa could spread in the US. Federal health officials say they are confident they can keep it in check.
