A 90-year-old woman, who laid in freezing temperatures for five hours after breaking her thigh, was forced to wait 90-minutes for an ambulance.
Firefighters who were passing the home where stricken Irene Goodwin was laying in the snow, even arrived before ambulance crews and eventually carried the pensioner for the young female paramedics.
Her angry family hit out at the "disgusting" service she was given by the East of England Ambulance Service.
Her son Barry, 70, of Hawksberry Road, Canvey said: "It's disgusting the way my mum had been treated.
Mrs Goodwin had been alone at her daughter Kim Townsend's home in St Christopher's Close, Canvey when she slipped over on the outside decking area at around 12pm last Monday.
The 90-year-old of Western Esplanade, Canvey broke her thigh bone and was left laying in the snow in sub-zero temperatures unable to call for help.
She lay there for five hours until she was eventually discovered by her daughter who returned home at 5pm.
By then, after suffering shock from her injury and due to the cold, Mrs Goodwin was also suffering from the potentially fatal condition hypothermia and was drifting in and out of consciousness.
After around 45-minutes a rapid responder - which is a single paramedic who uses an ambulance car and is unable to transport patients - arrived, but Mr Goodwin said they claimed to be unable to offer Mrs Goodwin pain relief or a splint for her injured leg.
Several frantic phone calls later, the family managed to summon fire crews from Canvey who were passing and stopped to help, carrying Mrs Goodwin in from the snow.
But it was not until 90-minutes after the first call that an ambulance finally arrived.
A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service insisted the first paramedic arrived within 30-minutes of the call with an ambulance crew arriving within just under an hour. He insisted the service is working to improve response times.

Alexander Gustavo had closed his eyes while reading his book and drifted off to sleep when Dante Martin walks in and spies him lying there. Dante quietly walks over and ever so slowly pulls back the top of Alexander's pants revealing an already thick cock. Dante slowly picks it up and eases it into his mouth. Alexander is gently awakened to find Dante's lips wrapped around his cock and he motions for Dante to continue. Dante pulls off his shirt revealing an incredibly built body and he leans over and swallows Alexander's cock again as he attempts to satisfy. Alexander motions for Dante to come closer and as they kiss Alexander begins to stroke his cock with one hand and undo Dante's pants with the other. Dante stands, removes his pants and then kneels down by Alexander's face. Alexander woofs down Dante's thick cock and Dante begins face fucking Alexander. Dante stands up, grabs Alexander's legs and rips his pants off of him. Dante pushes Alexander's legs back so that he can get to Alexander's ass where he buries his face and begins working his tongue in and out of Alexander's eager hole. With Alexander's asshole primed and ready, Dante slowly pushes his cock into Alexander's ass and then as he settles in, he begins fucking harder and harder and the moaning gets louder and louder. Three positions of ass pounding fucking later, Dante pulls out, rolls Alexander over and literally coats Alexander's chest with loads of cum. Alexander is so turned on that he grabs his cock, starts jerking and as he tells Dante to work his asshole with his fingers hard, he blows his load all over his jizz covered chest.

GlaxoSmithKline profits down as European sales falter
UK drug giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has reported pre-tax profits of £7.64bn for the year to 31 December 2012, down 4% on the year before.
Turnover fell 1% to £26.4bn, hit by "weaker than expected" European sales, which were down 7%.
Chief executive Sir Andrew Witty described the operating environment as "challenging".
But sales in emerging markets grew 10% and now account for 26% of GSK's business, the company said.
GSK, which makes well-known drug brands such as Seroxat/Paxil, Zovirax and Avandia, "returned over £6.3bn to shareholders", Sir Andrew said, and has the potential to launch 15 new products over the next three years, pending regulatory review and successful trial data.
The company's restructuring and cost-cutting programme aims to achieve annual pre-tax savings of £1bn a year by 2016, but will cost £1.5bn.
As part of the programme, GSK is carrying out a review of its "iconic" consumer drinks brands Lucozade and Ribena, looking at "the best ways to ensure their continued growth".
Looking forward to 2013, the company expects to achieve earnings per share growth of 3% to 4% and sales growth of about 1%, Sir Andrew said.

No additional charge for Utility Library subscribers
Released: November 18, 2010
Supported Platforms: Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, & 7 (32 & 64-bit)
Requirements: Microsoft .Net 3.5 framework with SP1. This comes pre-installed with Windows 7 and is available for download for other versions of Windows.
Using WinTidy 3
The goal of WinTidy is to remember and restore icon placements on your desktop. It does this in one of three ways: Predefined Layouts, User Layouts, and Resolution based layouts.
Predefined Layouts
Using the Predefined Layouts, you can arrange icons in rows or columns starting at any of the four corners of the Desktop. You can use both the left and right edges, or the top and bottom of the screen, leaving the center clear. Or you can spiral icons around the perimeter in either direction. Each of the 12 large buttons depicts a diagram of the corresponding layout. Clicking any of the buttons arranges your icons instantly.
All of the predefined layouts have an icon order based on a list that is sent to WinTidy by Windows. This list can be reordered by selecting an item and pressing the Up or Down arrow buttons or dragging to the desired location. You can also arrange the list by sorting on Name, Size of the shortcut, Item type, and Last modified date.
You can also adjust the spacing between icons. You can adjust both the vertical and horizontal spacing by simply entering a value in the respective input box.
User Layouts
You can arrange your desktop icons manually if you'd prefer not to use a predefined layout. Simply move the icons to the locations that you'd like, type a name for the layout in the dropdown box next to "Current layout," and hit Save Layout. You can make as many User layouts as you'd like. To restore a layout, simply select it from the dropdown and hit Restore Layout.
Resolution Based Layouts
WinTidy 3 enables you to save a layout for your current screen resolution so when you switch from one resolution to another, WinTidy will put the icons back exactly as they were before you changed resolutions. For example, you have your screen set to 1600x900 and you've hit Save Layout. You then change the resolution to 1024x768 but then come back to 1600x900. WinTidy will restore you icons so they'll be just were you left them.
This feature can be handy if you switch resolutions often. However, if you'd prefer to disable this feature simply uncheck the Smart Restore checkbox. Note: In order for Smart Restore to work, WinTidy must be running.

"My philosophy with patients is 'to do the right thing for the right patient at the right time for the right reasons.' I see so much advertising that isn't about what's right for the patient. When I started practicing over 25 years ago, it was about how good a job you did, not how glitzy the ad. It was all word of mouth and referral," says Dr. Hall-Findlay. "I'm proud when patients tell me 'I'm coming to you because my friends tell me you will tell me the truth.'"
Experience and Education
Dr. Elizabeth Hall-Findlay has been practicing plastic surgery in Banff since 1983.
"I am fortunate that I have always truly enjoyed my profession," said Dr. Hall-Findlay. "I love the design element in plastic surgery."
She has had extensive training in both aesthetic (cosmetic) and reconstructive surgery in both Canada and the United States. Dr. Hall-Findlay completed her plastic surgery residency in San Francisco and New York City. She is a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (FRCSC) and she is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Educator and Innovator
Dr. Hall-Findlay maintains a teaching and academic focus to her practice. She also travels by invitation to speak both nationally and internationally. She teaches courses annually to her colleagues in American plastic surgery professional societies. She has performed surgery as part of educational conferences in cities and countries around the world including Vienna, Milan, Cairo, Tel Aviv, Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, Holland and Germany.
Dr. Hall-Findlay is asked to present on her surgical techniques, her aesthetic assessment and on her preoperative planning. In recognition of her research and technical contributions to the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, her modifications to mastopexy and breast reduction are known internationally as the "Hall-Findlay technique."
A Specialist
"These are the procedures I love and look forward to performing," Dr. Hall-Findlay says simply when asked why she focuses exclusively on cosmetic breast and abdominal surgery. She has helped thousands of women feel better about their bodies, from mothers in Ft. McMurray and Calgary, to grandmothers from British Columbia and Saskatchewan, and teenagers from Edmonton and Red Deer. And while her reputation as a specialist has created an international demand for her services she restricts her practice to patients in her local area of Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen didn't rule out using negative rates in a future crisis but emphasized that they would be adopted as a last resort.While it would be cool to see a -25% APR on my house mortgage (which is adjustable) that's not likely. And negative interest rates prettty well require abolishing cash.
In written responses Thursday to questions from Representative Brad Sherman, Yellen said that "while I would not completely rule out the use of negative interest rates in some future very adverse scenario, policy makers would need to consider a wide range of issues before employing this tool in the United States, including the potential for unintended consequences."

You have to respect Nathan Horton for showing some fight on Saturday night (albeit late in the third period), but in the end, his face more or less summed up the Bruins' night.
Horton continued his growing rivalry with Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf in the third period of Toronto's 5-2 win in Toronto with a spirited bout late in the game.
When Horton finally got Phaneuf to drop his gloves — although not his helmet — it was Horton who ended up with a mean cut on his face.
See the fight in the video above.

Bear Market Momentum Stocks: Tesla Motors (TSLA)
Click to EnlargeTesla Motors (TSLA), everyone's favorite electric-car maker, is down nearly 27% from its late February peak and has been diving toward its 200-day moving average — a level that hasn't been breached since September 2012.
Excitement in TSLA has been driven by a number of things, such as an eventual release of the more affordable Model E, or the much-vaunted plans for the Gigafactory — the jumbo-sized battery factory that Tesla estimates by 2020 will exceed 2013 global battery production.
TSLA stock at one point boasted 684% returns within the past year, but it's all unraveling now. Even in the midst of a small short-term rebound, Tesla still appears to be succumbing to its worst breakdown since last November.

Warrnambool Cheese & Butter is set to say in its target's statement that the uncertain value and timing of Murray Goulburn's $9.50 a share cash bid, as well as its competition approval condition, render the farmer co-operative's bid inferior to Canadian giant Saputo's $9 cash offer.
Warrnambool Cheese & Butter (WCB) will lodge its target's statement in response to Murray Goulburn's offer this week and possibly as early as Monday.
The listed Victorian dairy group has recommended Saputo's offer - which is due to close on Friday unless extended - and has recommended shareholders reject Murray Goulburn.
Murray Goulburn's $530 million offer is conditional on getting 50.1 per cent of WCB and on receiving merger authorisation from the Australian Competition Tribunal.
The WCB board has persistently pointed to the conditions on Murray Goulburn's bid as a reason not to engage with its offer, and will do so again in its latest target's statement.
WCB is also disappointed by what it perceives as a lack of detail in Murray Goulburn's bidder's statement compared with its submission to the Tribunal.
Murray Goulburn must persuade the Tribunal that any reduction of local competition from its proposed WCB takeover would be outweighed by public benefits such as increased exports.
A source close to the matter said that Murray Goulburn's Tribunal submission was full of detail around rationalisation of WCB's operations and synergies (cost savings) from eradicating duplication where the two companies overlap in Victoria's south-west.
By contrast Murray Goulburn's bidder's statement - which is sent to WCB shareholders - has no such detail.
Around 30 per cent to 40 per cent of WCB's share register is held by Warrnambool region locals, many of whom are dairy farmers in the region who care about local jobs and post-acquisition intentions with the WCB business.
Both Saputo and Bega Cheese - which dropped out of the WCB takeover race in December - took pains to reassure stakeholders that WCB's corporate identity, plants and job numbers would be maintained.
On Tuesday Tribunal president Justice John Mansfield will preside over a case management hearing in Melbourne concerning Murray Goulburn's application.
The hearing is expected to be procedural in nature but will be watched closely for any indication of the panel's thinking on the application.
The hearing proper is scheduled to commence on February 10 and will run for five days. The Tribunal is expected to reach a decision by February 14 but may extend its deliberations for another 90 days.
While Murray Goulburn's offer is still being held up by the regulator, Saputo will press the attack this week with advertising and shareholder engagement to try and reignite the momentum behind its offer.
Saputo currently has a stake of a little over 18 per cent in WCB.
The big question is whether Bega Cheese, which owns 18.8 per cent of WCB, will feel the pressure to sell into Saputo's offer before it closes on Friday rather than run the risk of missing the cash windfall from selling its stake.
Saputo has given no indication of whether it will extend its offer. Bega kicked off the drawn out takeover battle in September and Saputo is likely to use the Friday deadline to exert as much pressure on shareholders - including Bega - to accept its offer.
Securing Bega's stake is key to winning the WCB prize.
Murray Goulburn owns 17.7 per cent of WCB and Japanese-owned Lion owns 10 per cent of WCB.
Lion secured its stake to protect commercial cheese supply contracts with WCB and is unlikely to make its move until the winning bidder is clear.

Project Runway Recap: Episode 2, "I Started Crying"
Project Runway Rundown: Episode 2, "I Started Crying"
Last night saw the second episode of Project Runway, and the biggest news of the night was the very special guest. Just as Molly predicted, it was the "pop culture and fashion icon" Sarah Jessica Parker. And when she walked through the Parsons doors, the designers (unsurprisingly) couldn't contain themselves. Chris even started crying. While he was the first designer to let the tears flow, he certainly wasn't the last (I'm talking to you, Ricky and Carmen).
Now, on to the challenge. The designers were asked to create a two-piece look for SJP's fashion line, Bitten, that must retail for $40 — which left the designers with only $15 to spend. Chris logically imagined he'd only be able to afford toilet paper and scotch tape! But before fabric worries, each of the designers had to pitch his or her design to Sarah. This montage was my favorite, as Chris could hardly construct a cohesive sentence, Elisa tried to explain her esoteric dress (Sarah kindly humored her), Kevin left without shaking her hand, and Christian pleaded for a hug. Honestly, who can blame them?
To read my thoughts on the seven designers Sarah Jessica Parker chose and to see a gallery of each look, just
The seven designers Sarah chose to execute the Bitten design were Elisa (what?), Kit, Christian, Marion, Victorya, Ricky, and Rami. Each of these designers was then told to pick a partner. Sweet, a group challenge! Not sweet: not enough group tension. Oh well, there's always next time. From there, the episode really focused on the four groups that created the best and the worst garments, so read my thoughts on the two best and the two worst below.
- Elisa — delivered her signature brand of kookiness and brought Sweet P along for the ride. She continued to only sew by hand but introduced new, wacky tactics like spitting on the fabric to mark the dress and "imbibe it with energy and essence." Huh? In the end, the "polymorphic" dress ended up being one of the more compelling pieces. And the duo almost won the challenge. I was certainly surprised.
- Victorya — with Kevin's help, she created the dress and vest that ultimately won the competition. Not a lot of drama here, but the duo did create the two most beautiful pieces. And I think Victorya is going to be one to keep an eye on. SJP said the dress would be part of Bitten's line; would you buy it?
- Christian — He chose Carmen to execute his blue sheath dress and jacket. Like last week, Christian continued to be a celebrity in his own head and therefore refused to take Tim's advice to not make his dress too retro. And you know what that means: Michael Kors and Nina thought the dress was too '80s. Hasn't Christian ever seen ProjRun before? Always take Tim's advice!
- Marion — He and Steven created a very deconstructed Bohemian mess. Michael Kors even called it the Pocahontas dress, "like all she needs is like a headband and a feather." Genius. His floppy, stretched-out fabric seemed to grow 10 inches just during judging. Ultimately, this was the worst of the bunch, and Marion was sent packing.
What are your thoughts? What design was your favorite? And will Ricky ever stop sobbing?

PALATKA, Fla. - The Putnam County School Board has suspended a Palatka High School English teacher for the rest of the school year without pay after an investigation into him having an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old student.
According to a Putnam County Sheriff's Office report, the girl told detectives she and 27-year-old Austin Johns began communicating over the Internet after school, then began text messaging each other. She said things intensified, telling investigators the two would meet before and after class.
"Once the room door was locked and the blinds were closed, Johns and her would go into a large closet and begin to kiss each other," the report reads.
In a sworn statement, the girl said "the two had talked about having sex but it had not happened as of yet."
Johns was not arrested, and deputies closed the case, saying, "A criminal charge is not warranted at this time. However, Johns has clearly violated ethical issues involving his employment as a teacher."

Equity for Women in the Church Community Seeks Non-Profit Status
by Relma Hargus
The commitment of the Alliance of Baptists' in its covenant to promote the "freedom of the local church to … ordain whom it perceives as gifted for ministry, male or female"
has gained an additional resource through the vision of an Alliance community.
By seeking to become an ecumenical 501(c)3 organization, the Equity for Women in the Church Community is moving toward its goal of facilitating equal representation of clergywomen as pastors of multicultural churches.
The idea to seek the non-profit designation — information received by the Alliance of Baptists' Board and those attending the business meeting during the recent gathering in Portland, Maine — was originally a consensus of those attending the community's 2013 Access and Equity for Women in the Church Conference. With that designation, the community gains numerous advantages including reduced postal rates, exemption from Federal income tax and tax-deductible contributions.
The October 2013 meeting brought together both lay and clergy participants from the Alliance and nine other religious entities.
Jann Aldredge-Clanton and Sheila Sholes-Ross, co-chairs of the Alliance's Equity for Women Community, coordinated that conference hosted by Wake Forest Divinity School.
"It was a dream come true to connect with those who are like-minded in other denominations," Jann said.
"Alliance members expressed appreciation for our 'both/and' approach, that we will be both an Alliance of Baptists' Community and a new ecumenical organization," Jann said. "This new organization will have many advantages as we move forward as an ecumenical, multicultural organization to fulfill our vision of facilitating equal representation of clergywomen as pastors of multicultural churches."
Twelve people representing a diversity of races, genders, and denominations have committed to serving on the board of directors of the new ecumenical organization.
Sheila, who credits support from the Equity Community as well as the Alliance of Baptists as instrumental in supporting her goal to become a pastor, said, continued commitment is needed to promote the "advancement of clergywomen across race, ethnicity and denominations."
"There is much work still to be done and that is why creating this 501©3 is of upmost importance," she said.
Craig Henry, an Alliance member from Monroe, La., is drawing up the articles of incorporation and bylaws for the new organization.

The Warriors play the lakers tonight (Tues) on LP at 9:00 on Comcast here in indy. But no other games are listed.
My comcast doesnt want to turn my damn League Pass channels on until the first game of the damn season. God cable company's are so gay. I should have got Direct TV.
I have Direct TV and my LP channels are turned on (i think), but the only game I have listed is Warriors-Lakers at 10pm (eastern, NC) :confused:
If I can find a way to listen to the game via radio while I'm at work, I'll be giddy.
Channel 754 is your friend. ;)Quote:

I got DISH and I cheked the menu to find the game but it wasnt listed... :shrug:
I have Brighthouse cable where I live, so I figure I was going to get the game (we're going to be getting LP soon anyway). Then...I found out that I had to work tonight (yes, I'm at work now - all I'm doing is sitting at a desk for a few hours and watching the building since I got all of my setup/custodial work done). However, the building I work at has DISH, and I found the game listed on channel 546. Yes, that's correct; tonight I'm getting paid to study and watch about half of the Pacers game. A mediocre night has turned into a fantastic night :)
I've got Pistons-Bulls on right now, but when I turn over to the Pacers channel, I get the "Channel Not Purchased" thing. Is this going to be blacked out on LP because it's on the YES network? If so, that would be total crap, as YES is part of that 12 bucks per month lineup, not basic dish.
I hope your dish crashes. lol. ;) Have fun!Quote:

- Knowledge and Understanding
- Reflection and Clarity
- Tolerance, Compassion, and Generosity
- Confidence
- Creativity and Innovation
- Stability, Perseverance, and Continuity
- We assist our student/teachers in developing a personal practice that will help them realize and reduce the seeds of their own suffering, and help them fulfill their own potential.
Tapah Svadhyaya Isvara Pranidhanani Kriya Yogah (Yoga Sutra II:2)
- Following the teachings of Patanjali, we exhort our student/teachers to cultivate within themselves qualities such as friendliness, compassion, joyfulness, and neutrality.
Maitri Karuna Mudita Upeksanam Sukha Duhkha Punya Apunya Visayanam Bavanatah Citta Prasadanam (Yoga Sutra I:33)
- Following the Vedic teachings, we encourage students to recognize the four aims in life: dharma, artha, kama and moksa.
We teach them that their own natural inclination to earn a living (artha), and to enjoy life (kama) shall serve the aims of dharma and moksa, not destroy dharma and create more karmic entanglements.
- Following the teachings of T. Krishnamacharya, we emphasize two principles:
a. The teachings are about the student, not the teacher. Teachers must strive to understand the true needs of their students, and adapt practices to serve those needs.
b. The teacher must not leave their throne. That is, the role of the teacher must be respected. Thus, the teacher must strive to keep their own personal motivations out of the teaching context.

All Android applications categories
A "times table" application?
Yes: We need to help even high school students to memorize the times table. For whatever reason even some regular high school students have not memorized the times table when they are expected to learn Precalculus. The problem gets worse when working with at risk students, or students in special schools. An application that can drill students, after the basic facts of multiplication have been, explained to them comes handy. An implementation of this application for the TI 84 has been used in a high school classroom setting to help students memorize the times take, and it definitely works. Moreover: experience shows that it's not only kids, but parents and working people in general that have a need to rehearse the times table, despite the prevalence of electronic calculators.
The application is highly intuitive: the device will generate multiplication problems at random, scoring students' answers in a manner that depends on the difficulty of each problem, which tends to increase when the student is successful and decrease when the student is struggling. When a student makes a mistake, a "toast" appears to provide feedback.
After 20 questions have been answered, the title bar will start displaying the number of questions as well as the percent answered correct, which can be used by a teacher or supervisor to assess a student's progress. Depending on the student, three or more two hundred questions sessions will be required to train him.

With two million people out of work, the housing market flat on its back and much of the bombed-out banking sector in public hands, rampant price rises are the least of our worries. Yet economists are wondering when it will be time to stop staring into the abyss of recession and to start fretting about inflation.
The answer is not yet. Although prices did not – in defiance of analysts' predictions – drop during the year to February, and the Bank of England governor Mervyn King was forced to explain to the chancellor why inflation remains above 2%, there are strong factors working against a resurgence of inflation, at least in the near future.
Consumer demand is sickly at best, as any window shopper counting sale signs on the high street can see. True, the plunging pound has created some inflationary pressure by making foreign goods more expensive; but UK-based suppliers should spring up to replace at least some of those costly imports with domestically produced goods.
Meanwhile world energy prices have plunged, and domestic bills will eventually follow suit. Electricity prices, one key driver of inflation over the past 12 months, have already begun to slide.
In fact, so severe is the downturn, that the Bank of England had become concerned that inflation would give way to deflation – falling prices – threatening to ensnare the economy in a vicious downward spiral.
By slashing interest rates, and injecting money into the economy through the drastic policy known as quantitative easing, King hopes to coax demand back to life and prevent inflation from plunging well below the government's target of 2%.
Yet King knows there will come a dangerous moment – perhaps in nine months or a year, perhaps much longer – when the Bank will have to do a smart about-turn. As demand picks up, as families and businesses become more confident, and as the green shoots of recovery start to appear, the billions of pounds of stimulus that have been poured into the economy will have to be smartly withdrawn. Otherwise inflation could rapidly return and, if the Bank is forced to ramp up interest rates to bring it under control, the fragile economy could be plunged back into another painful downturn.
When exactly this inflexion point will occur is extremely hard to guess. It will depend on what happens to foreign demand, as well as here at home; and so many cherished economic models have been chucked out of the window over the past 18 months, that firm predictions are trickier than ever.
Rampant inflation was the curse of the British economy through the 1970s and 1980s, putting governments and workers on a collision course, and exacerbating the stop-go economy.
Central bankers had been smugly confident through the "great stability" of the past 10 years that they had learned those lessons and brought inflation under control. But as everyone admits, the crisis we are now facing is unprecedented – and the problem with uncharted territory is, of course, that there's no map.

Where World Cup footballers play during the regular season
Some of the world's best soccer players are gathered in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup, which begins next week. But during the rest of the year, the 736 players who are members of national teams play on club teams around the world in 53 different countries.
Pew Research analyzed the final rosters for each of the 32 qualifying nations posted to FIFA's official website and found a total of 476 players (65%) who currently play for clubs in countries outside of their World Cup nation. Think of them as "elite labor migrants," many of whom cross borders to play for higher salaries in front of bigger audiences.
Some other facts about these athletes:
- Out of the 736 World Cup players, 114 – or 15% – play for clubs in England , not including five who play for Welsh teams that were part of the English Premier League in 2013-14. (FIFA classifies England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as separate nations, as we do in this analysis.) Clubs in Italy (81), Germany (78) and Spain (64) also have significant numbers of players on World Cup rosters. It may be no surprise that some of the most popular destinations for these players are European leagues that rank among the world's most lucrative.
- Only one World Cup team – Russia – has an entire roster filled with players from clubs within that country . Almost all of England's players are members of English clubs, but one (goalkeeper Fraser Forster) plays in Scotland for Celtic. For Italy, 20 of 23 players are currently signed with Italian clubs (the other three play for Paris Saint-Germain in France).
- Twenty-six players from World Cup rosters play professionally in Turkey, but the Turkish national team did not qualify for the World Cup. Turkey finished third at the 2002 World Cup, the only time it has qualified for the tournament since 1954.
- Each World Cup nation has at least one player that stays at home for the club season, but four — Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Uruguay — have only one such player, meaning 22 of the 23 players on each of those teams play abroad. Algeria and Cameroon each have 21 of 23 players from club teams outside of those countries. Of all the African nations that qualified, Nigeria has the highest number of players who are members of domestic clubs (three).
- More than half of the United States roster plays outside of the country during the club season (14 players), including four each in England and Germany. That means nine members of the U.S. World Cup team play for Major League Soccer teams in the U.S. (not including midfielder Michael Bradley, who plays for Toronto F.C., a Canadian MLS club).
- Many of Brazil's players may be relishing a rare chance to play on home soil. During the club season, 19 of 23 play outside Brazil.
- Looking at players by position, outfield players (forwards, midfielders and defenders) are significantly more likely to play professionally outside of their World Cup country – 68% do so – than are goalkeepers (44%).
We also took a look at each team's manager and his country of birth. Exactly half of the teams (16 of 32) have managers who were born in that country, including several European teams (Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain). The other 16 are managed by men who were born elsewhere.
The United States is managed by Jurgen Klinsmann, one of five German-born managers at this year's World Cup (including Germany manager Joachim Löw). Three teams (Costa Rica, Honduras and Ecuador) have Colombian-born managers, but Colombia manager Jose Pekerman was born in Argentina.

Just a quick question as to why Wales has been coloured in as part of England? They are two completely different soccer nations. You have correctly not coloured in Scotland so I'm a bit confused as to why it would be any different for Wales. Could this error be changed in anyway perhaps?
Over 50% (373) of the players participating in the World Cup play regularly in 5 European countries: England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France. Moreover, 93% of the players representing the 5 African teams play outside their country.
An interesting piece. After reading it, one thing is evident that league system of Europe is well established and players crave to become part of European leagues. African football star rising after players from the continent become part of European clubs. I think Asian countries also try and improve their club system and recruit players in order to improve overall standard of Asian football. All is now set for World Cup 2014
There seems to be an error in the US data. it says one America plays in Asia. I am assuming this is Jermaine Jones who plays for Besiktas in Turkey. For footballing purposes Turkey is a European nation as they play in UEFA.

Go With the Flow Tank
From Fiona Ellis Pattern Description: I selected elements that had a yielding rather than a dogmatic, set-in-stone quality. The lace pattern produces a waved edging rather than a hard, blunt, cast-on edge, while the soft, undulating cables flow out and back from the stockinette-stitch side panels. Then, in the center of the panel, the cables intertwine as though acknowledging their neighbors, willing to embrace a new element. As the pattern reaches the neckline, it flows gently around its curve.*

Greek Week! and The Orientation Leader Fever
Hello again, blog world! April is rearing it's fabulously busy head once again and I am just coming off the no-sleep-week that is Greek Week, so bear with me if I'm a little woozy. Lots of exciting things are happening and I'm just trying to get my bearings!
As I mentioned, this past week was Greek Week, and I was so proud not only of my own chapter, but to be Greek. The unity, sportsmanship, and general fun and awesomeness that happens every year is one of my very favorite things about the Greek community. It was awesome to place in events like Greek Sing, Banner, and Rope Pull, and even more wonderful to cheer on all the incredible men and women who worked so hard for this week.
Speaking of Rope Pull, we took third place! It's been a great season, with injuries, jokes, nicknames, a whole lot of squat jumps, some new friendships made and old ones strengthened. I love Pull. So much. I can't wait until next year when hopefully I'll be a captain and lead my team to victory! But that's another story.
I'm also delighted to announce that I am an Orientation Leader for the Summer of 2011! I am so so excited to meet the class of 2015 and welcome them to CWRU, and also to make new friends in the Orientation family. Contract signing was on Friday, and the first training session is this weekend. I am so inspired by the amazing people on the OL team, and it really reminds me why I came to Case and why it's so phenomenal to be a Spartan.
So if you're coming to CWRU this fall, I just may see you in a couple months! I hope you're as excited as I am.

An interesting article I found today tells the tale of a milkman in Blackburn (northwest England) who has many customers of Indian and Bangladeshi origin on his round and who has learnt to speak Gujarati fluently, as well as some Bengali and Punjabi, in order to better serve those customers.
He started picking up the languages in the 1950s and 1960s by listening to what his customers were saying, remembering it and repeating it. At first there were only a few Asian families, but as they arrived in increasing numbers, his knowledge of Gujarati continued to improve until he was able to communicate with confidence.
He also helps his customers find things like ghee (clarified butter) and other foods and ingredients not available locally. Not surprisingly he is very popular with the Asian communities in Blackburn and has received many invitations to weddings and other events.
In case you're wondering, the title of this post is the Gujarati word for milkman.

Your Sister's Sister Trailer Arrives
Love & tension in a cabin in the woods
Comedy drama Your Sister's Sister comes to our screens boasting a serious amount of indie movie cred. Written and directed by Humpday's Lynn Shelton and co-starring Mark Duplass, the movie has done the usual festival tour (Toronto, Sundance etc.) and has now produced a trailer, which you can watch below.
The plot finds Duplass as Jack, a man still lodged deep in the pit of grief after his brother's death a year ago. Seemingly unable to get on with his life, he's really starting to worry best pal Iris (Emily Blunt). She thinks she might have an idea to help him, and sends him off to her family's remote cabin on Puget Sound. It's supposed to offer isolation and relaxation, but Jack discovers it also contains Iris' sister, Hannah (Rosemarie De Witt).
She's trying to overcome a relationship that has just self-destructed, and happily agrees to spend the evening drinking with Jack. One thing leads to another, and the pair falls into bed together. Their hung-over morning reverie is shattered by the arrival of Iris bringing groceries, and soon a romantic triangle is brewing.
It's the sort of story that could easily tip into cliché, but we're hoping the talent involved keeps it away from the usual danger zones.
Your Sister's Sister is out on June 29.

Distinctive Smiles of Dublin
After earning his doctorate in dental surgery from Ohio State, local boy Dr. Buck remained in his home state to practice cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry. He and his team build long-term relationships with their patients by remaining clear and honest about all procedures, whether it's a teeth whitening or full-mouth rehabilitation when disease, injury, or decay has becoming seemingly overwhelming. They understand trust is just as important as comfort, which is why they also offer oral sedation and nitrous oxide to ease patient anxieties about procedures such as root canals, dental implants, or the extraction of wisdom teeth not smart enough to stay out of trouble.

Fast-growing social network hi5 will expand its data center footprint by taking space in 365 Main's new facility in Oakland, Calif., the two companies said today. San Francisco-based hi5 has been a tenant at 365 Main's flagship San Francisco data center since 2004. The expansion is the latest indicator of the growing importance of social networks as major users of data center space, and follows major infrastructure expansions by MySpace and Facebook.
hi5 was founded in 2003 and is now the 8th most-trafficked website in the world according to Alexa. The company will lease an additional 2,500 square feet of space at the Oakland data center, which opened in September 2007.
"365 Main has been responsive to our needs and has provided a secure home for our servers in San Francisco for more than three years," said hi5 Founder and CEO, Ramu Yalamanchi. "With our rapidly expanding service and necessity for multiple high-performance data center locations, expanding our partnership and leasing additional space from 365 Main in Oakland made sense for our business."
"Social networking sites like hi5 promise a reliable, 24X7 experience to their users, and to deliver on that promise requires modern data center infrastructure," said Chris Dolan, CEO of 365 Main. "Our Oakland facility was designed for exactly this type of requirement, and we're proud to be adding this world-class organization to our existing Oakland tenant roster."
365 Main has existing facilities in San Francisco, Oakland, El Segundo, Calif., Chandler, Ariz. and Chantilly, Va. The company plans to open a seventh data center in Vernon, Calif. in 2008.

Take a closer look.
It could be caviar, but it isn't.
The consistency's the same, but not the color. Have a taste. Depending on which flavor may garnish your dish — cucumber, grapefruit, strawberry — you'll notice, almost like caviar, it sits on your palate, melts.
It could be caviar. But it isn't.
Patrick Gilpin, the 28-year-old executive chef at Blue Turtle Bistro, is experimenting with what has become popular in New York City and larger metropolitan areas across the country: molecular gastronomy.
It's a quasi-food science and modern style of cooking that is a diverse and increasingly useful way to look at cooking as more than the serving of a dish, but rather at what techniques are used in its preparation. Example: caviar that isn't.
On a Friday afternoon earlier this month, Gilpin experimented with spherification, or the process of shaping spheres from liquid that visually, texturally resemble caviar.
"The beauty of it is, for instance with grapefruit, citrus goes great with seafood. You put little grapefruit beads on top and you bite into your scallop or piece of fish and you get that citrus you'd normally squeeze on with a lemon," Gilpin said. "But you have it in this cool presentation."
This particular process was discovered in the 1950s and involves the mixing of liquid, in this case a juiced ruby red grapefruit and sodium alginate, which is then dipped into cold water containing calcium chloride.
It began at elBulli — a former restaurant in Spain that has since closed but plans to reopen in 2014 — where chef Ferran Adrià brought it into the contemporary culinary spotlight.
For Gilpin, he began learning the basics of molecular gastronomy during his time cooking downtown at Local 11 Ten.
"The pastry chef (at Local 11 Ten) was the one who introduced it to me and he trained at wd~50 in Manhattan," he said. "And I trained under him for about a year, but that was my first application until I tried it at Alligator Soul."
As an autodidact and now head of the kitchen at Blue Turtle, Gilpin is applying these techniques when possible, though he isn't staffed to a point where making it a mainstay on dishes is possible.
It's something he employs sparingly on dishes since joining the Blue Turtle staff 11 months ago.
"I've only done it about three or four times," he said, "the reason being it's hard to hold up and it's used strictly in haute, avant garde cuisine where they have an army of people and you have a guy that does just garnishes."
Though patrons might do well to look closer at their plates: Gilpin may have dabbed something of a surprise garnish to complement the salmon carpaccio, pan-seared airline chicken breast or atop a simple apple and fennel salad.
"As far as the future of Blue Turtle, I want people in the community to realize how much effort goes into my food," said Gilpin, holding out a spoonful of spherified melon and cucumber. "I'm pushing for good, simple cuisine presented in a casual, upscale environment."

Title IX
What is Title IX?
Title IX is a section of the federal law under the Higher Education Act that prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions. Many people have known it as a law requiring equal male-female representation in sports teams at U.S. colleges and universities, but it actually demands gender equity in all areas of colleges and universities that receive federal assistance.
The law states that "no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." Therefore, Title IX forbids sex discrimination, including sexual harassment and violence, in all university student services and academic programs.
UAF, Title IX and you
When there's a report of sexual discrimination or misconduct, the university will:
- stop the discrimination
- provide remedies and other support
- conduct a prompt, thorough and impartial investigation
- take steps to prevent the recurrence of further discrimination
Supervisors and faculty must respond promptly to complaints of sexual harassment to determine what, if any, remedial action may be warranted. In resolving sexual harassment complaints, supervisors and faculty must seek advice and guidance from the Title IX coordinators or deputy coordinators.
Everyone at UAF — employees, students, and visitors — has the right to learn and work in safety and with dignity. We look out for each other.
Sexual harassment, sex discrimination, and Title IX
Title IX gives everyone the right to equality in education and employment.
No sexual harassment.
No sex discrimination.
Everyone at UAF has the right to be free from discrimination, unlawful harassment, sexual misconduct and violence. Student and employees are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others. Violations will result in serious sanctions.
Sexual harassment is discrimination.
It includes:
- Unwelcome sexual advances or contact
- Gender stereotyping
- Pressure for sexual favors
- Relationship violence
- Date rape
- Non-consensual intercourse
- Sexual assault
Notice of non-discrimination
The University of Alaska Fairbanks does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, physical or mental disability, marital status, pregnancy or parenthood.
Anti-harassment statement
The University of Alaska Fairbanks supports and promotes an environment where all community members are treated with common courtesy, compassion, dignity and respect. Every member of the university community has a right to a working and learning environment free of sex discrimination including sexual and gender-based harassment, assault and violence. Protection is extended to all students, employees and third parties including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) from sex discrimination.
Faculty and staff cannot promise confidentiality. They do not have special privileges to maintain the confidentiality of reports shared with them.
Students and employees who need to talk to someone confidentially should contact UAF Student Health and Counseling at 474-7043 or The Interior Alaska Center for Non-Violent Living at 907-452-2293. See a full list of confidential disclosure contacts.
Employee responsibilities
All staff and faculty have the responsibility for helping make UAF a safe and welcoming community. If you know of an incident of sexual misconduct, you must report it to a member of the Title IX team.

Another explicit home video of the 24-year-old beauty has come out and it features her sharing an intimate moment with a woman named Taryn.
Not only Kendra Wilkinson will have her sex tape with ex-high school lover Justin Frye to be made available for sale in June, she also has another explicit home video coming out. However, in the new tape, Kendra's co-star is a woman, whose name is Taryn, Radar Online reported.
Taryn's ex-lover Kavi Cermak revealed to the site that his ex-girlfriend starred in the X-rated video with Kendra and multiple sources reportedly have confirmed this report. It is still unclear on who else was involved in the sex tape or whether Justin is also featured in the new clip.
However, two sources who have seen the tape revealed that sex toys were involved in the video. The site further reported that porn company Vivid Entertainment, who owns Kendra's to-be-on-sale raunchy footage "Kendra Exposed", is allegedly also in possession of the lesbian sex tape.
Kendra Wilkinson herself is still struggling to block "Kendra Exposed" release by hiring an attorney. "Kendra Exposed" fell into the hand of Vivid Entertainment after her ex-boyfriend Justin Frye sold it to the corporate.
Justin, a mixed martial arts fighter, has pocketed a reported $100,000 for selling his sex tape with Kendra to Vivid. President of Vivid, Steven Hirsch, previously told Life and Style that he has not heard whether or not Kendra will be cooperating to gain profits from the release, as other celebrities have in the past.

Pony Club numbers down – but it's still popular
More than 9000 people are presently enjoying the benefits of membership to a Pony Club in New Zealand – with many of them meeting every week at a rally to learn more about their equine friend.
NZ Pony Clubs Association General Manager Graeme Sole said the organisation was marvellous for helping people interact with horses and to help them establish a relationship with animals.
And, he said, the children that attend Pony Club also gain a sound respect for horses.
"I'd like to think that anyone who wants to go to Pony Club can.
"Some kids might never want to compete, they might just want to have fun, and Pony Club is a great place for that.
"They learn how to care for their pony, they have a great time and they learn to be responsible, for themselves and their mount."
But while the local Pony Club presents a great opportunity to learn about horses, there's also the opportunity to meet others with similar interests.
At the moment, there are about 240 Pony Clubs in New Zealand, with membership varying from about 10 through to more than 150 members.
But despite the many benefits of attending Pony Club, membership has decreased over the past decade or so.
Ironically, while there wouldn't be many New Zealand horse riders aged over 40 who have not experienced what Pony Club has to offer, the same could not be said for the younger generation.
Increasing demands on leisure time over the last 20 years has seen fewer children join Pony Club, with membership today being about half of what it was 15 years ago.
Having said that, Mr Sole did say that more recently membership had remained fairly static. "It's neither up nor down."
Mr Sole believes that changes to the Kiwi lifestyle had been one factor to bring about this change.
"People used to have lifestyle blocks with a couple of ponies, now they have a couple of alpacas instead."
And, he said, there are not the numbers of country people involved with Pony Club.
"There's just not the farm kids around, but there's been a big increase in urban membership.
"City clubs have a lot of members."
Why the decrease in farm kids?
The number of farm kids with ponies might have decreased, but the other factor, which has further compounded the issue, is transportation to Pony Club.
"Kids used to ride to Pony Club. They can't do that now; it's too dangerous.
"And in the cities, horses are no longer allowed on the footpaths.
"So they nearly all have to be floated."
With this, comes the need to invest a reasonable sum of money to purchase a horse float or truck, and of course, a larger commitment of time is also required from parents.
The downside is that many parents are either unwilling or financially unable to oblige.


text: Adjusted Pro Forma Income Per Common Share is calculated using Adjusted Pro Forma Income and taking into account the benefit of the convertible debt call option when it allows the Company to purchase shares of its own stock at a price below what those shares could be purchased for in the open market.The Company's management has evaluated and made operating decisions about its business operations primarily based upon Adjusted Pro Forma Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Income Per Common Share. Management uses Adjusted Pro Forma Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Income Per Common Share as measures as they exclude items management does not consider to be "core costs" or "core proceeds" when making business decisions. Therefore, management presents these Adjusted Pro Forma financial measures along with GAAP measures. For each such Adjusted Pro Forma financial measure, the adjustment provides management with information about the Company's underlying operating performance that enables a more meaningful comparison of its financial results in different reporting periods. For example, since Rovi Corporation does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, management excludes amortization of intangibles from acquisitions, transaction costs and transition and integration costs in order to make more consistent and meaningful evaluations of the Company's operating expenses. Management also excludes the effect of restructuring and asset impairment charges, expenses in connection with the early redemption or modification of debt and gains on sale of strategic investments. Management excludes the impact of equity-based compensation to help it compare current period operating expenses against the operating expenses for prior periods and to eliminate the effects of this non-cash item, which, because it is based upon estimates on the grant dates, may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the future exercise, expiration, termination or forfeiture of the equity-based compensation, and which, as it relates to stock options and stock purchase plan shares, is required for GAAP purposes to be estimated under valuation models, including the Black-Scholes model used by Rovi Corporation. Management excludes non-cash interest expense recorded on convertible debt under ASC 470-20, mark-to-market fair value adjustments for interest rate swaps, caps, foreign currency collars, and the reversals of discrete tax items including reserves as they are non-cash items and not considered "core costs" or meaningful when management evaluates the Company's operating expenses. Management reclassifies the current period benefit or cost of the interest rate swaps from gain or loss on interest rate swaps and caps, net to interest expense in order for interest expense to reflect the swap rates, as these instruments were entered into to control the interest rate the Company effectively pays on its convertible debt. Management includes the benefit of the convertible debt call option, which allows the Company to purchase shares of its own stock at approximately $28.28, and is excluded from GAAP EPS calculation as it is anti-dilutive, because the pragmatic reality is management would exercise this option rather than allow this dilution to occur. This convertible debt call option was exercised in August 2011.

A Chorleywood pub has donated hundreds of pounds to a charity that provides support to families in Watford and Three Rivers.
Jeff Hall and Rhonda Oakley, who run The Rose and Crown, in Common Road, presented a cheque for £649 to Home-Start Watford and Three Rivers after holding a quiz night on Sunday, March 2.
The money will go towards providing those families the charity supports with a trip to Gulliver's World, in Warrington, in August.
Customers of the pub have also been donating their loose change in a large bottle jar that has been left on the bar over the past year.
Jane Greaney, the charity's community fundraiser, said: "The annual trip means so much to the families we support, especially during the summer holidays as some of the children never experience a holiday, and we are so thankful to all who supported the fundraising effort of The Rose and Crown in Chorleywood.
"Those interested in fundraising for Home-Start can contact Ms Greaney on 019213 248010.
