PRESIDENT Barack Obama has promised a ''transparent'' decision soon on whether to send thousands more US troops to Afghanistan.
His comments follow media reports that have hinted at war-policy rifts among his advisers.
On his debut tour of Asia, Mr Obama was dogged by questions on whether the US will boost its forces: 68,000 US troops will be in Afghanistan by year's end.
A leaked cable sent by the US ambassador to Kabul, Karl Eikenberry, expressed serious doubts over the idea of sending more troops before the Karzai Government in Afghanistan tackled rampant corruption.
US Secretary of Defence Robert Gates has now issued instructions to everyone with any knowledge of the process, as well as those leaking details of the probe into the Fort Hood massacre last week, to ''shut up''.
Up to 40,000 extra troops could be deployed to Afghanistan, but at a press conference after talks in Tokyo with Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama on Friday, the President refused to be drawn.
''The decision will be made soon, it will be one that is fully transparent to the American people,'' he said.
Mr Obama said that after the exhaustive review process by top military brass and national security aides, he would ensure Americans understood ''exactly what we are doing and why we are doing it''.
His spokesman Robert Gibbs rebuked Republicans who have accused the President of ''dithering'' on the decision. ''The President is taking his time to get this decision right,'' Mr Gibbs said.
Mr Obama's top spokesman also warned journalists to stay away from sources who have confided in recent weeks that the President was closing in on one option or another - he is unlikely announce a decision on Afghan war strategy before he returns to the US from the four-nation Asian tour on November 19.
He would likely need another meeting of top national security advisers and military before deciding his next move in the increasingly bloody and unpopular eight-year war, aides said.

Hidden for decades until today, the extensive collection of Vitra—one of the most influential names in modern furniture design—is now on public display in a brand new building designed by Herzog & de Meuron: Schaudepot.

As the latest addition to the Vitra campus, Schaudepot's front yard connects it to its neighbors, Zaha Hadid's Fire Station and Álvaro Siza's factory buildings. From the front, it appears monolithic and earthen, its brick exterior and windowless facade giving away little of the impressive collection of over 20,000 objects inside. In addition to serving as a conservational space for "key objects" in Vitra's collection, Schaudepot also includes a new cafe and shop, both accessible by the building's south end through a new public entry point into the campus.

Inside, a window between the main hall and lower ground (where the collection resides) allows visitors to sneak a peek of repository, and its crowning jewel: "The centrepiece of the Schaudepot is a permanent exhibitio...

Can a museum collect architecture? The answer, say the curators of Hong Kong's museum of visual culture, is yes. Though it won't open its doors until 2017, M+ has already staged a number of exhibitions across the city, from 2012's multi-site "Yau Ma Tei" to last year's "Inflation!," a collection of inflatable sculptures displayed on the grounds of its future home, the West Kowloon Cultural District.

Since the mid-1980s, Mr. Ackerman has been traveling to southeastern Minnesota from his home in the Twin Cities area to explore and acquire caves. He is the largest private cave owner in Minnesota and might be the largest in the country, but nobody is certain because not all of his caves have been fully explored to determine their extent.

The next morning I swallowed my pride and sought out Durbin. He had superintended the removal of Mrs. Jeffrey's effects from the southwest chamber, and should know, if any one, where this filigree ball was now to be found. Doubtless it had been returned with the other things to Mr. Jeffrey, and yet, who knows? Durbin is sly and some inkling of its value as a clue may have entered his mind. If so, it would be anywhere but in Mr. Jeffrey's or Miss Tuttle's possession.
To test my rival's knowledge of and interest in this seemingly trivial object, I stooped to what I can but consider a pardonable subterfuge. Greeting him in the offhand way least likely to develop his suspicion, I told him that I had a great idea in connection with the Jeffrey case and that the clue to it lay in a little gold ball which Mrs. Jeffrey sometimes wore and upon which she set great store. So far I spoke the truth. It had been given her by some one--not Mr. Jeffrey--and I believed, though I did not know, that it contained a miniature portrait which it might be to our advantage to see.
I expected his lip to curl; but for a wonder it maintained its noncommittal aspect, though I was sure that I caught a slight, very slight, gleam of curiosity lighting up for a moment his calm, gray eye.
"You are on a fantastic trail," he sneered, and that was all.
But I had not expected more. I had merely wished to learn what place, if any, this filigree ball held in his own suspicions, and in case he had overlooked it, to jog his curiosity so that he would in some way betray its whereabouts.
That, for all its seeming inconsequence, it did hold some place in his mind was evident enough to those who knew him; but that it was within reach or obtainable by any ordinary means was not so plain. Indeed, I very soon became convinced that he, for one, had no idea where it was, or after the suggestive hint I had given him he would never have wasted a half-hour on me. What was I to do then? Tell my story to the major and depend on him to push the matter to its proper conclusion? "Not yet," whispered pride. "Durbin thinks you a fool. Wait till you can show your whole hand before calling attention to your cards." But it was hard not to betray my excitement and to act the fool they considered me when the boys twitted me about this famous golden charm and asked what great result had followed my night in the Moore house. But remembering that he who laughs last laughs best, and that the cause of mirth was not yet over between Durbin and myself, I was able to preserve an impassive exterior even when I came under the major's eye. I found myself amply repaid when one of the boys who had studiously avoided chaffing me dropped the following words in my ear:
"I don't know what your interest is in the small gold charm you were talking about, but you have done some good work in this case and I don't mind telling you what I know about it. That little gold ball has caused the police much trouble. It is on the list of effects found in the room where the candle was seen burning; but when all these petty belongings of Mrs. Jeffrey's were gathered up and carried back to her husband, this special one was not to be found amongst them. It was lost in transit, nor has it ever been seen since. And who do you think it was who called attention to this loss and demanded that the article be found? Not Mr. Jeffrey, who seems to lay little or no stress upon it, but the old man they call Uncle David. He who, to all appearance, possessed no interest in his niece's personal property, was on hand the moment these things were carried into her husband's house, with the express intention, it seems, of inquiring for this gold ball, which he declared to be a family heirloom. As such it belonged to him as the present holder of the property, and to him only. Attention being thus called to it, it was found to be missing, and as no one but the police seemed to be to blame for its loss the matter was hushed up and would have been regarded as too insignificant for comment, the trinket being intrinsically worthless, if Mr. Moore had not continued to make such a fuss about it. This ball, he declared, was worth as much to a Moore as all the rest of his property, which was bosh, you know; and the folly of these assertions and the depth of the passions he displayed whenever the subject was mentioned have made some of us question if he is the innocent inheritor he has tried to make himself out. At all events, I know for a certainty that the district attorney holds his name in reserve, if the grand jury fails to bring in an indictment against Miss Tuttle."
"The district attorney is wise," I remarked, and fell athinking.
Had this latent suspicion against Mr. Moore any solid foundation? Was he the guilty man? The memorandum I had come across in the book which had been lately pulled down from the library shelves showed that, notwithstanding his testimony to the contrary, he had been in that house close upon that fatal night, if not on the very night itself. It also showed his extreme interest in the traditions of the family. But did it show anything more? Had he interrupted his writing to finish his query in blood, and had one of his motives for this crime been the acquisition of this filigree ball? If so, why had he left it on the table upstairs? A candle had been lit in that room--could it have been by him in his search for this object? It would be a great relief to believe so. What was the reason then that my mind refused so emphatically to grasp this possibility and settle upon him as the murderer of Mrs. Jeffrey? I can not tell. I hated the man, and I likewise deeply distrusted him. But I could not, even after this revelation of his duplicity, connect him in my thoughts with absolute crime without a shock to my intuitions. Happily, my scruples were not shared by my colleagues. They had listed him. Here I felt my shoulder touched, and a newspaper was thrust into my hand by the man who had just addressed me.
"Look down the lost and found column," said he. "The third advertisement you will see there came from the district attorney's office; the next one was inserted by Mr. Moore himself."
I followed his pointing finer and read two descriptions of the filigree ball. The disproportion in the rewards offered was apparent. That promised by Uncle David was calculated to rouse any man's cupidity and should have resulted in the bauble's immediate return.
"He got ahead of the police that time," I laughed. "When did these advertisements appear?"
"During the days you were absent from Washington."
"And how sure are you that he did not get this jewel back?"
"Oh, we are sure. His continued anxiety and still active interest prove this, even if our surveillance had been less perfect."
"And the police have been equally unsuccessful?"
"After every effort?"
"Who was the man who collected and carried out those things from the southwest chamber?"
He smiled.
"You see him," said he.
"It was you?"
"And you are sure this small ball was among them?"
"No. I only know that I have seen it somewhere, but that it wasn't among the articles I delivered to Mr. Jeffrey."
"How did you carry them?"
"In a hand-bag which I locked myself."
"Before leaving the southwest chamber?"
"Then it is still in that room?"
"Find it," was his laconic reply.
Here most men would have stopped, but I have a bulldog's tenacity when once I lay hold. That night I went back to the Moore house and, taking every precaution against being surprised by the sarcastic Durbin or some of his many flatterers, I ransacked the southwest chamber on my own behalf for what certainly I had little reason to expect to find there.
It seemed a hopeless cause from the first, but I acted as if no one had hunted for this object before. Moving every article, I sought first on the open floor and then in every possible cranny for the missing trinket. But I failed to find it and was about to acknowledge myself defeated when my eye fell on the long brocaded curtains which I had drawn across the several windows to hide every gleam of light from the street. They were almost free from folds, but I shook them well, especially the one nearest the table, and naturally with no effect.
"Folly," I muttered, yet did not quite desist. For the great tassels still hung at the sides and-- Well! you may call it an impossible find or say that if the bauble was there it should have been discovered in the first search for it! I will not say no. I can only tell you what happened. When I took one of those tassels in my band, I thought, as it twirled under my touch, that I saw something gleam in its faded old threads which did not belong there. Startled, and yet not thoroughly realizing that I had come upon the object of my search, I picked at this thing and found it to be a morsel of gold chain that had become entangled in it. When I had pulled it out, it showed a small golden ball at one end, filigreed over and astonishingly heavy for its size and apparent delicacy.
How it came there--whether it rolled from the table, or was swept off inadvertently by the detective's hand, and how it came to be caught by this old tassel and held there in spite of the many shakings it must have received, did not concern me at this momentous instant. The talisman of this old family was found. I had but to discover what it held concealed to understand what had baffled Mr. Moore and made the mystery he had endeavored to penetrate so insolvable. Rejoicing in my triumph, but not wasting a moment in self-congratulation, I bent over the candle with my prize and sought for the clasp or fastening which held its two parts together. I have a knack at clasps and curious fastenings and was able at first touch to spring this one open. And what did I find inside? Something so different from what I expected, something so trivial and seemingly harmless, that it was not until I recalled the final words of Uncle David's memorandum that I realized its full import and the possibilities it suggested. In itself it was nothing but a minute magnifying glass; but when used in connection with--what? Ah, that was just what Uncle David failed to say, possibly to know. Yet this was now the important point, the culminating fact which might lead to a full understanding of these many tragedies. Could I hope to guess what presented itself to Mr. Moore as a difficult if not insolvable problem? No; guessing would not answer. I must trust to the inspiration of the moment which suggested with almost irresistible conviction:
The picture! That inane and seemingly worthless drawing over the fireplace in The Colonel's Own, whose presence in so rich a room has always been a mystery!
Why this object should have suggested itself to me and with such instant conviction, I can not readily say. Whether, from my position near the bed, the sight of this old drawing recalled the restless nights of all who had lain in face of its sickly smile, or whether some recollection of that secret law of the Moores which forbade the removal of any of their pictures from the time-worn walls, or a remembrance of the curiosity which this picture excited in every one who looked at it--Francis Jeffrey among the number--I no sooner asked myself what object in this house might possibly yield counsel or suggest aid when subjected to the influence of a magnifying glass, than the answer, which I have already given, sprang instantly into my mind: The picture!
Greatly excited, I sprang upon a chair, took down the drawing from the wall and laid it face up on the bed. Then I placed the glass over one of the large coils surrounding the insipid face, and was startled enough, in spite of all mental preparation, to perceive the crinkly lines which formed it, resolve themselves into script and the script into words, some of which were perfectly legible.
The drawing, simple as it looked, was a communication in writing to those who used a magnifying glass to read it. I could hardly contain my triumph, hardly find the self-control necessary to a careful study of its undulating and often conflicting lines and to the slow picking out of the words therein contained.
But when I had done this, and had copied the whole of the wandering scrawl on a page of my note book the result was of value.
Read, and judge for yourself.
"Coward that I am, I am willing to throw upon posterity the shadow of a crime whose consequences I dare not incur in life. Confession I must make. To die and leave no record of my deed is impossible. Yet how tell my story so that only my own heirs may read and they when at the crisis of their fate? I believe I have found the way by this drawing and the injunction I have left to the holders of the filigree ball.
"No man ever wished his enemy dead more than I did, and no man ever spent more cunning on the deed. Master in my own house, I contrived a device by which the man who held my fate in his hands fell on my library hearth with no one near and no sign by which to associate me with the act. Does this seem like the assertion of a madman? Go to the old chamber familiarly called "The Colonel's Own." Enter its closet, pull out its two drawers, and in the opening thus made seek for the loophole at the back, through which, if you stoop low enough, you can catch a glimpse of the library hearth and its great settle. With these in view, slip your finger along the wall on your right and when it touches an obstruction --pass it if it is a handle, for that is only used to rewind the apparatus and must be turned from you until it can be turned no farther; but if it is a depression you encounter, press, and press hard on the knob concealed within it. But beware when any one you love is seated in that corner of the settle where the cushion invites rest, lest it be your fate to mourn and wail as it is mine to curse the hour when I sought to clear my way by murder. For the doom of the man of blood is upon me. The hindrance is gone from my life, but a horror has entered it beyond the conception of any soul that has not yielded itself to the unimaginable influences emanating from an accomplished crime. I can not be content with having pressed that spring once. A mania is upon me which, after thirty years of useless resistance and superhuman struggle, still draws me from bed and sleep to rehearse in ghastly fashion that deed of my early manhood. I can not resist it. To tear out the deadly mechanism, unhinge weight and drum and rid the house of every evidence of crime would but drive me to shriek my guilt aloud and act in open pantomime what I now go through in fearsome silence and secrecy. When the hour comes, as come it must, that I can not rise and enter that fatal closet, I shall still enact the deed in dreams, and shriek aloud in my sleep and wish myself dead and yet fear to die lest my hell be to go through all eternity, slaying over and over my man, in ever growing horror and repulsion.
"Do you wish to share my fate? Try to effect through blood a release from the difficulties menacing you."

- museum management
Date of Defense 2006-03-30 Availability unrestricted AbstractAs government subsidies to art institutions continue to decline annually, the international art community finds itself increasingly dependent on alternate sources of revenue such as corporate sponsorships and private donations. The Louvre in Paris, for example, was forced to restructure their organization to become more involved in fund-raising and campaigning activities when the French government began cutting cultural spending in 1993. Currently, the United States government accounts for approximately 28% of a museum's annual operational expenses. The remaining funds necessary to pursue acquisitions, sustain educational programs and promote scholarly research as well as to perform basic functions such as facility maintenance and staff support are left to the individual organization. Thomas Krens, the director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, proposes that the survival of the museum as a viable cultural institution into the twenty-first century is dependent upon that particular entity's level of participation in financial and economic trends. He pioneers a controversial style of museum management that includes the licensing and franchising of the Guggenheim identity in an attempt to maintain the basic museum mission of allowing the public access to experience art.
This thesis identifies the Guggenheim museum under Krens as the first art organization to break with traditional modes of museum operation. It provides a context to discuss the relevancy of his tactics given the current financial dilemma of museums and explores the much-debated issues of public trust and globalization. Through a thorough examination of the aforementioned, this thesis isolates future trends in both the operations and the ethics of cultural institutions on a global scale.

Super Rugby: South Africa want six teams in competition from 2016
SARU president Oregan Hoskins says they must have six clubs in Super Rugby from 2016 or they 'will look north'.
Last Updated: 29/10/13 12:14pm
The SARU came in for stinging criticism when it was forced to relegate the Lions in favour of the Southern Kings in 2012, after SANZAR refused to expand the three-nation, 15-team Super Rugby competition.
New Zealand, Australia and South Africa all have five clubs in Super Rugby but Hoskins says South Africa won't accept anything less than six teams when a new deal and restructured format is expected after the 2015 season.
Hoskins said: "As far as I am concerned, it is not even an issue for us. It is six or nothing when the new broadcast deal comes into effect.
"People didn't believe us when we said how serious it was until we had to forsake one of our provinces out of the Super Rugby.
"We have to do everything it takes to ensure our teams play in whatever competition. If it is not SANZAR then we have to look north."
Hoskins says South Africa bring more money to Super Rugby than its southern hemisphere partners, therefore enforcing its worth.
"South Africa is the partner and the brand which is the biggest in the southern hemisphere in terms of commercial value, brand value, bums on seats, television viewership, the number of players we have," said Hoskins.
"So I am hoping that we are being accommodated within SANZAR. We are being told that we are being accommodated."
Hoskins favours expanding to an 18-club league, with six teams from South Africa and New Zealand, five from Australia and the inclusion of a team from Argentina.

Labor and the Greens will battle it out for the seat of Heffron in inner southern Sydney on Saturday after the seat was vacated by former NSW Labor premier
The winning streak for the acclaimed new Australian movie The Sapphires continued on Friday night, with writers Tony Briggs and Keith Thompson winning the outstanding script for 2012 award, plus the best feature film adaptation, at the annual Australian Writers' Guild AWGIE awards. Susan Smith's Mabo won the telemovie original category, and the team behind The Slap won the TV mini-series adaptation gong.

Five state governments have agreed to further investigate a possible national "cash for containers" scheme, despite strong opposition from a number of food and beverage companies. The Australian Food & Grocery Council has recently run a high-profile media campaign against the proposed container deposit scheme, claiming it would add as much as 20 ¢ to the cost of a bottled drink. But on Friday all state governments, with the exception of Queensland, decided at a meeting of the Standing Council on Environment and Water to undertake a more detailed analysis of the proposal – including regional and other distributional impacts – before making a final decision next year on whether to establish a national scheme.

Minor parties in NSW that helped ensure the passage of a bill to sell the state's electricity generators have demanded an increase in their annual administrative funding. The Shooters and Fishers Party, which has two MPs in the state's Legislative Council, told a parliamentary inquiry on Friday that it needed $500,000 a year for administrative purposes, more than triple its current funding of $160,000. The Christian Democratic Party, which also has two MPs in the Legislative Council, said it needed $400,000 a year. The inquiry into administrative funding for minor parties was set up a fortnight after NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell struck a deal with the Shooters and Fishers Party to support the bill to privatise the electricity assets. But Mr O'Farrell has insisted the inquiry was not part of the deal.

Hospice Care Week begins this week and will see a number of events in the town, kicking off with an awareness day at Watford FC's home match against Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Practical add-ons for Thunderbird
Show InOut
If you manage incoming and outgoing mail in the same folder, you will probably lose track of something eventually. Thunderbird does not use tags to tell you whether a message is incoming or outgoing. Besides this, the software only shows either the recipient or the sender of the email, depending on whether you sent or received the message, but it does not do so dynamically (Figure 8).
The Show InOut add-on [7] lets you change this behavior. The installation follows the standard Extension Manager-based approach and does not require any special configuration.
After restarting Thunderbird, you will see new columns in the mail overview, which you can select in the normal way by clicking the list pictogram on the right. To be more precise, the plugin adds two options: In/Out and Counterparty. The former displays a symbol to tell you whether this is an incoming or outgoing message, whereas the latter shows the recipient or sender, depending on the message type.
If you insert the two columns and at the same time remove the legacy sender and target columns, you should see something like Figure 9. Thunderbird shows you the sender for incoming mail and the recipient for outgoing mail. The Show InOut website lists additional features that allow users to customize the add-on to suit their own needs.
Thunderbird has a powerful add-on interface that lets users extend its functionality. The "More Add-Ons" list does not claim to be complete, but it might whet your appetite.
More Add-Ons
The Enigmail plugin encrypts email messages with GnuPG [8][9]. Lightning, the calendar add-on, was covered in the April 2008 issue of Linux Magazine [10], but there are many more add-ons.
Attachment Sizes gives you an overview of file attachment sizes in incoming and outgoing messages [11]. Forward extends the button for forwarding messages, adding a function that alternatively embeds or attaches messages for forwarding [12]. MozPod is a really practical helper for synchronizing the Thunderbird address book with your iPod to make sure you have all your contact data with you all the time [13]. Unfortunately, the tool currently works on Windows or Mac OS X, but not on Linux.
The Select Inbox add-on [14] tells the program to open your email account's inbox directly when launching, even if no account is set to check for new email automatically. Thunderbird does not let you tag mail as having been replied to or forwarded, and if this bugs you, ToggleReplied is the tool you need [15]. Finally, you can remove annoying brackets in the subject line of a forwarded mail with QuoteAndComposeManager, which also offers a number of other interesting features [16].

TIGI S-Factor Papay Leave-In Moisture Spray Reviews
Nourishes hairI love this leave in conditioner. It smells unbelievably great and works really well. It really nourishes your hair into healthy shiny hair. A must have if you go with the s factor line. — 9 years, 3 months agoTBjunkie | 692 reviews
Good moisture without stickinessI'm a hard-sell when it comes to leave-in conditioners. With longish, thick, curlyish hair, I need some moisture, but so much out there leaves a yucky coating and weighs down even thick hair. This doesn't. It's moisturizing and plays well with other products. It's also thin enough to distribute well among lots of strands. I knocked off two stars because I just think the entire S-line by TIGI is a little pricey. — 3 years, 11 months agoJCS | 31 reviews

Clare McMeniman credits Australian netball captain Laura Geitz with sparking her comeback after capping her return from retirement with a national squad recall.
McMeniman was selected on Thursday in the Diamonds squad to take on New Zealand and England in next month's series, only a season after spending two years out of the game.
She's now poised to make her Test debut at age 29, six years after she was first selected in the Australian squad but never played a game.
Her comeback was first sparked by fellow defender Geitz, who McMeniman reunited with at the Queensland Firebirds this year.
"The original thought came from Geitzy," said McMeniman on Thursday.
"She asked if I'd thought about coming back.
"I hadn't, but the more I started to, the more I realised I had unfinished business."
McMeniman now has the chance to claim the defender spot left vacant by the retirement of Bianca Chatfield following the Glasgow Commonwealth Games gold medal triumph last month.
She and fellow Firebird Rebecca Bulley are the only new faces in the Australian squad, with Bulley set to play the first three Constellation Cup Tests before McMeniman takes over for the last Test against the Silver Ferns and two Tests against England.
McMeniman retired from netball in 2011 after helping the Firebirds to a trans-Tasman championship title.
In her time away she worked full-time as a speech pathologist and travelled overseas with her partner for five months.
The defender said the break helped her to clear her mind, think about the future, and rediscover her love for the game.
"When I finished playing I had no plans of returning. I didn't have a desire to continue," McMeniman said.
"I needed time away from the sport to realise that I did want to come back again."
McMeniman said some may view the break as detrimental to her career, as she left when she was playing well.
"But for me it's something that I needed, not just physically but emotionally," she said.
"It was the best thing I could have done to reignite that passion for the game."
She doesn't plan another retirement any time soon.
"You can't really say what will happen from now until tomorrow," McMeniman said.
"My immediate goals are to train hard and play well with the Diamonds if I get the opportunity to step out on court."
McMeniman first made the Australian squad in 2008, but never played an international game.
"To have the opportunity and to achieve the goal of making the team is surreal," she said.
"It's been a long time since I've pulled a green and gold dress on."
Australian squad: Caitlin Bassett, Rebecca Bulley, Tegan Caldwell, Julie Corletto, Laura Geitz, Kimberlee Green, Renae Hallinan, Sharni Layton, Clare McMeniman, Natalie Medhurst, Kim Ravaillion, Madi Robinson, Caitlin Thwaites.

Herts and Essex Cricket League Division One
Five wickets from John Rogers helped Ilford Catholic skittle Foresters out for 96 on Saturday.
Ilford began slowly and were 64 for three early on before Vince Mullholland (34) and Sule Saleem (31) took the score beyond 100.
Epping's Hurwood bowled well to pick up three wickets as Ilford finished on 158 for eight.
Rogers tore through the Epping top order to end with figures of five for 27.
Foresters were reduced to 48 for seven, which left them with a huge uphill struggle.
Steve Poole (27 not out) ran out of batting partners to support him as Ravi Ramanuja picked up three wickets to give Catholic a 62-run win.
Division Four
Ilford Catholic Seconds went top of the table after a convincing win over Nazeing Common Seconds.
Catholic batted first and Annanth Kumar (76) led the way with shots all around the ground. He was well supported by Yash Agarwal, who chipped in with a useful 34.
The hosts finished on 199 for eight after their allotted 45 overs.
In reply, Nazeing started well but Catholic pulled them back with Agarwal starring again to pick up four wickets alongside left-arm pacer Mayuran Thiru (three for 25).
Nazeing finished all out for 136 to give Catholic a comfortable victory.
Dukes League Cup Group F
South Woodford top the table despite a 69-run defeat at home to Wanstead and Snaresbrook on Sunday.
Batting first, the vistors were bowled out for 132.
However a virtuoso display, which saw Usman Sahar take seven for just 19, reduced the hosts to 63 all out.
On what was a gloriously sunny Sunday, Ilford Catholic produced a brilliant spell of bowling backed up by committed fielding to dismiss Alexandra Park for just 37 runs.
Left-arm spinner Mukhtiar Singh was the star bowler, taking three wickets with support from Ashok Selveratnam and Ben Dharmanandan, who each took a pair of wickets.
Catholic lost two quick wickets in reply but Jaswant Chauhan and Pritesh Malyvia knocked off the runs for a comprehensive win.

CHERRIES' up-and-coming charges made the most of a pristine playing surface with a neat passing display at Hamworthy Recreation.
Development boss Stephen Purches gave two separate XIs a run-out in each half and Cherries threatened to sweep aside their Dorset Premier League opponents throughout the first half.
Stephane Zubar made a surprise 20-minute appearance alongside Miles Addison at centre-half but it was widemen Aristide Bassele and Harrison Gilkes who caught the eye.
Cherries moved the ball well from the outset and almost took a sixth-minute lead when lively trialist Jordan Murphy cut back for Bassele to blaze high and wide from the edge of the area.
The deadlock was soon broken, though, when Gilkes cut back for midfielder Ben Whitfield to show good composure and slam home as Cherries flooded the box with bodies.
Moments later, Gilkes's teasing cross was flicked away by Rec's Richard Sands with Jayden Stockley ready to pounce but the second wasn't far away.
Bassele picked up the ball from deep and sprayed a pass for Gilkes to calmly switch inside and roll to Murphy whose precise first-time finish nestled neatly in the bottom corner.
By now, Cherries were carving open their opponents at will and Stockley's burst down the left teed up Murphy to miss a gilt-edged chance for number three.
The tempo dropped after half an hour but the visitors still looked dangerous and Bassele's driving run and cut back gift-wrapped the third as Murphy tucked home from close range.
An entirely different Cherries side made for a more even second half but the visitors still created the better openings and Josh O'Hanlon caused plenty of problems with his darting runs in behind.
The former Longford Town striker did everything right before snatching at a couple of presentable chances, though Cherries did add their fourth on 65 minutes when Brandon Goodship's cheeky backheel rounded off a crisp passing move.
Hamworthy substitute Luke Pidgley's instinctive hooked effort drew a fine reaction save from Pat O'Flaherty, while at the other end Goodship sprung the offside trap but rolled his finish against the base of the post during the dying embers.
Delivering his post-match assessment, Purches said: "We had good spells where we controlled the game. Generally, we try to play like the first team and there were nice little phases of that which was pleasing.
"We need to be more clinical in both boxes but it is early days and I couldn't fault the attitude of the players."
Cherries first half: Holmes, Muleba, Buckley, Addison, Zubar (Butcher, 21), Wakefield, Gilkes, Whitfield, Murphy, Stockley, Bassele.
Cherries second half: O'Flaherty, Lee, Harfield, McCarthy, Kaye, Carmichael (Butcher, 85), Walsh, A Coulibaly, O'Hanlon, Goodship, Matthews.
Rec: Knights (Downes, 85), Sands, Hatchard (Mulvey, 60), Willis (Porter, 85), Bartlett (Walden, h-t), Ross, Andrews (Ayley, 73), Wilcock (Grimason, 60), Purdy (Pinder, h-t), Stone (Iglewski, 55), Payne (Pidgley, 60).

Star Exclusive: Watch the Winner's First Interviewby Sarah De Heer in Interviews, August 10, 2014
Star Talk caught up with the winner just moments after the memorable announcement. Click play on the video above to watch Star Talk's exclusive interview and read more below.
"This is our first cowboy chef ... it's about time we've had a cowboy chef. We've been missing that!" Alton Brown told Star Talk after Lenny McNab was crowned the newest Food Network Star. "We have no one like Lenny on this network. I don't think there's anyone like Lenny in the world," Bobby Flay added.
You've had highs and lows. Looking back over the season, can you sum up your experience for us?
Lenny McNab: When you have your highs you feel like you're on top of the world. When you have your lows you feel like susceptible to pain. If there's anything I can tell America, it's to try and put that pain back and push towards those things that make you positive. Once you're positive, don't leave that area and you'll be successful for your entire life.
Before they announced your name, you saw the reel of Food Network Stars, and now you're a part of that. How does that feel?
LM: To be in the company of Giada, Alton, Morimoto, Alex — all the great chefs that are on Food Network — I realize that I'm the puppy of the family right now and I have to bow to them. But someday I will rise and be the king of the world.
Going through this season, Lenny, were there any cringe-worthy moments, looking back on it?
LM: Oh, yeah. Some parts of the show were really hard for me to watch. And I think the most cringe-worthy moment for me was when I ripped my shirt open to do the belly flop, because, well, I shouldn't be taking my shirt off on national TV ever, and I did it twice.
Did you find any one mentor more intimidating than the other?
LM: I think the most-intimidating person to me this season was Bobby Flay. He has this icy look to him. He's very daunting. He's such a big personality on Food Network that he was the one who really sent shivers down my spine.
Was there any one piece of advice that really stuck with you that they gave to you?
LM: The one piece of advice that I heard once in my life that brought me to this point got reiterated to me at one point in this, and that was from Robert Irvine, and we were in between shots, and he looked at me and he said, "Lenny, just be yourself, man." And I think that's the most-important thing to remember for myself. Just to be me and to be happy with that.
Who have been some of your biggest supports throughout this competition?

Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes to Take Over HALLOWEEN Franchise
According to Bloody-Disgusting Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company is in discussions to end up taking over the Halloween franchise. They will be taking over any future sequels, and it wont include that 3D movie that was being developed, that movie is dead. It makes complete sense that they would want this franchise in their film library as they've rebooted several other classic horror film franchises.
The report says that Platinum Dunes is currently looking at writers and directors to take on the project which means that Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier, who were attached to direct the 3D version, are no longer attached. I'm completely fine with that as their previous films are utter crap, such as My Bloody Valentine and Drive Angry.
Directors Brad Fuller and Andrew Form have worked with Platinum Dunes on several of their horror projects such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Platinum Dunes' Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are responsible for remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street. They've also developed original films such as The Unborn and Horsemen. They'll obviously be involved with the production of Halloween, and are currently developing the futuristic horror film Vigilandia, and the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles adaptation.
What do you think of Platinum Dunes taking on the the Halloween franchise?

Bistros are great for budding romance, since the low lighting keeps dates' eyes from wandering and helps to conceal nervous facial tics. Let love flourish with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $27 for $50 worth of French-American dinner for two or more
- $55 for $100 worth of French-American dinner for four or more
The bistro-inspired menu spotlights appetizers such as Prince Edward Island mussels simmering in a tomato-basil cream sauce. Appetizers precede entrees of grilled pork chop stuffed with chorizo sausage and chihuahua cheese, and grilled hanger steak with sautéed spinach, blue cheese, and natural jus.
Magnolia Cafe
Chef Kasra Medhat's refined culinary techniques draw from his diverse gastronomic history, from his childhood filled with Turkish- and Iranian-style family meals to his college internship at a Chicago gourmet restaurant, as well as his catering work. Today, Kasra captains Magnolia Cafe, where he infuses all that passion and experience into his innovative French-American recipes.
In the kitchen, Kasra and staff cobble together ingredients plucked during their peak growing season in a variety of meat and seafood dishes. Upon white tablecloths, plates of appetizers and entrees meet with the house's specialty martinis and boutique wines in crystalline glasses, which are great for clinking or playing pieces from Mozart's glass-harmonica phase. Soft jazz music pulses amid the exposed brick and beams that ring the dining room, which is speckled with hanging photos of the flowers from which the establishment takes its name.

SAMANTHA Norwood could have been excused for being nervous deputising for one of the world's greatest players.
But the centre showed there's no need for Lauren Jackson to rush her return from injury with a breakout performance in Canberra's thrilling 75-74 win over Bulleen last night.
In her first home match in a Capitals singlet, the former West Coast Wave's aggression and intensity was crucial.
Jackson was restricted to autograph duties in her Canberra homecoming, but Norwood's performance against a much bigger side showed the team is in good hands.
The 31-year-old received a standing ovation when presented to the 1920-strong AIS Arena crowd before the game.
Norwood was forced to play long minutes with fellow ''big'' Brigitte Ardossi and guard Michelle Cosier finding early foul trouble. She more than handled the occasion with 10 points, nine rebounds and two assists.
''I didn't really feel any pressure, I've just got a really good opportunity while Jackson's out,'' Norwood said. ''Graffy [Capitals coach Carrie Graf] just tells me [to] attack the basket, rebound as much as I can and be physical.''
The Capitals shot 75 per cent from the field and 4-4 three-pointers in the first quarter to lead 31-24.
But Canberra's offence dried up, and small forward Rachel Jarry (25 points) helped square up the match at 52-all early in the third quarter.
That sparked Capitals point guard Nicole Hunt into action, and she scored 11 of her 16 points in the third term to give Canberra a 69-64 lead.
In a scrappy last quarter, Canberra held its nerve to square its season ledger at 2-2, but not without some help from its arch-rival.
With three seconds left, Bulleen butchered an opportunity to steal the game when Tess Madgen spilled the ball out of bounds.
Undersized through injury against one of the biggest teams in the league, Canberra still out-rebounded Bulleen 36-33.

Courageous, insightful and candid thoughts on malady and mortality from one of our most celebrated writers.
During the US book tour for his memoir, Hitch-22, Christopher Hitchens collapsed in his New York hotel room to excoriating pain in his chest and thorax. As he would later write in the first of a series of deeply moving Vanity Fair pieces, he was being deported 'from the country of the well across the stark frontier that marks off the land of malady.' Until his death in 2011 he underwent the brutal gamut of modern cancer treatment, enduring catastrophic levels of suffering and eventually losing his voice.
Mortality is the most meditative piece of writing Hitchens has ever produced; at once an unsparingly honest account of the ravages of his disease, an examination of cancer bathroom etiquette, and the coda to a lifetime of fierce debate and peerless prose. In this eloquent confrontation of mortality, Hitchens returns a human face to a disease that has become a contemporary cipher of suffering.
About the Author
Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011), 'one of the most prolific, and well as brilliant, journalists of our time' (Observer), was a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a visiting professor of liberal studies at the New School in New York. The most recent of his numerous books are the international bestsellers God is Not Great, Hitch-22 and Arguably.

Comments about Mortality:
I was diagnosed with throat cancer shortly before this book was published. I waited until I was out of the woods before reading it and then devoured this book. It is totally true to the experience and he describes the experience using his natural writing skill. Still making us think...

LOS ANGELES – In other circumstances, it might have been an interesting social experiment: Who plays best without their best player?
But on Friday, it proved only a wasted opportunity for the Lakers as they squandered a 15-point lead, went scoreless for a long spell down the stretch and blew a chance to notch a win over an old Western Conference rival. Even with Tim Duncan out, the young Lakers couldn't match the savvy San Antonio Spurs.
Lacking a go-to scorer in the final minutes, the Lakers (1-2) fell, 91-85, in a game Coach Mike D'Antoni said was "set up for us."
A 3-point play by Jodie Meeks put the Lakers up, 80-77, with 3:55 left. But the offense dried up and the Spurs went on a 10-1 run before another Meeks layup cut the lead to 87-83 with 24 seconds left.
"The Spurs are a good team with or without Tim Duncan," Meeks said, "and the next guy steps up. Obviously without him we thought we had a better chance, but it didn't happen. We didn't execute as good as we should have."
Pau Gasol led the Lakers with 20 points and 11 rebounds, but both Meeks (14 points) and Wesley Johnson (12 points, 2 of 4 on 3-pointers) shone off the bench.
After going up 33-18 on two free throws by Xavier Henry with 7:55 left in the second quarter, the Lakers closed the quarter just 2 of 14 from the field and led just 42-41 at halftime.
"We gave up the lead in the second quarter," Gasol said. "I think that was a critical moment of the game, where we could have stepped it up a notch, increased the lead and built on it."
Henry cut his head on one play, requiring nine stitches. He returned in the third quarter and finished with 3 points and missed all six field-goal attempts.

Three cheers for Sawbridge Drax
John Samuel Wanley Sawbridge Drax was labelled as the 'The Wicked Squire'. Alan J Miller separates fact from fiction.
Published in January '11
Along the A31, between Wimborne and Bere Regis is a brick wall, some three miles in length, which skirts the northern boundary of Charborough Park, the home of the Erle family for over four hundred years. It was built in 1841/42 – or rather paid for – by John Samuel Wanley Sawbridge, a man to whom it is fair to say, history has not been terribly kind. The Erles had a rather unusual history as, for several generations, they produced no surviving male heir and thus each generation's eldest daughter became a much sought-after heiress. In 1720, Elizabeth Erle married Henry Drax, who added his name to that of the family. Their son, Edward Erle Drax, had a daughter, Sarah Frances, who married Richard Grosvenor who added that name also. The offspring of this union, Jane Frances, was ultimately the next heiress, and it was she whom John Samuel Sawbridge married in 1827. Now this poor chap has been labelled as 'The Wicked Squire', described as an eccentric who locked up his daughters, lavishly rehearsed his own funeral and built himself a huge mausoleum in which to be buried. How much, if any, of this is true?
Let us start with the accusation that John Samuel married the heiress for her money. In fact, the Sawbridges were a wealthy landed family in their own right with a large estate at Olantigh near Wye in Kent, graced by a magnificent mansion called Olantigh Towers. Moreover Jane Frances was not the heiress when they married, she had a brother Richard – an eligible bachelor of thirty – who died the year after the marriage. John Samuel has also been accused of mortgaging his wife's property to buy an estate of his own at Holnest in North Dorset. Again not true. He bought Holnest from the widow of Mark Davis in 1826 – a year before he married Jane Frances. There was admittedly an unusual feature about their marriage, which was the difference in their ages: Jane being thirty-nine and John Samuel twenty-seven. It has been cruelly suggested that she was on the shelf and nobody else would marry her.
The marriage to Jane Frances, in fine Erle tradition, produced two daughters: Maria Caroline and Sarah Charlotte, in 1828 and 1829 respectively, whom John Samuel has been accused of imprisoning to prevent them marrying. In truth he was merely trying to protect them from adventurous, avaricious suitors. He was devoted to his wife and suffered great grief when she died in 1853. The name 'Crazy Jane' has been applied to her, indicating a certain wildness or mental imbalance, but this is most unfair and, along with much of the other denigration, comes from the pen of a writer named Ella Panton, who wrote a vicious little book in 1908 about the families in the Wareham and south-east area of Dorset. This book was frankly libellous and she had to withdraw it in 1909 in the face of legal proceedings. She used the term Wicked Squire, describing (but not naming John Samuel) as 'an old man who looked as evil as Mephistopheles and who had revolting manners and language'. Her assertion that John Samuel kept a mistress in each of the lodge-houses was totally fanciful and malicious.
As to John Samuel's career as a Member of Parliament, he was elected as MP for Wareham in 1841 and was to serve with short breaks until 1880. There are two versions of the old chestnut about him being the silent member who never spoke in the House. The first is that the only time he opened his mouth it was to ask if a window could be closed, and the second is that the Speaker ordered the windows to be opened after he had spoken to let out the hot air. What are we to believe? Whilst it seems hard to believe that a man who was so vociferous on the hunting field could sit silently in the Commons when such matters as land taxation were under debate, Hansard records the total contribution in terms of speeches by John Erle Drax (or John Samuel Wanley Sawbridge) as… zero. By way of contrast, Benjamin Disraeli – admittedly a rather more careerist politician who served nearly twice as long as an MP – is recorded having made 3532 speeches. When John Samuel lost the Wareham seat in 1880 he is said to have left the town cursing the inhabitants and vowing never to return. One cannot blame him for a small display of pique at the ingratitude of the townspeople he had served for so many years. They seemed to forget that he had repeatedly fought to defend Wareham from disenfranchisement in the years following the 1832 Reform Act.
John Samuel was a generous man who believed in doing things in style. When he was appointed High Sheriff of the county in 1840 he put on a grand reception for the circuit judges the like of which Dorchester had never before seen. As Master of the Blackmore Vale Hunt, he disdained the usual scarlet outfit and fitted out his men with canary coloured coats with blue collars bound in gold and cream silk breeches. To complete the effect the whole entourage was mounted on grey horses. Some other Dorset masters, it is fair to say, thought this a little ostentatious.
He was also a conscientious guardian of the Charborough estate – although it always belonged to his wife or his daughter – doing much to enlarge and embellish it. The famous wall was built at his expense when he promoted the construction of the turnpike road from Wimborne to Puddletown in 1840, and he was instrumental in steering the legislation through Parliament. The ensuing work of brick-making, building and road construction provided much-needed local employment at a time of agricultural depression.
He refurbished parts of the mansion house, constructing a picture gallery and an armoury, which he filled with a large collection of weapons. He was a great collector of old wood-carvings and placed an altarpiece from a church in Antwerp and a fine set of Renaissance choir stalls in the chapel of the house. The picture gallery has a dado made up of an astonishing variety of early Tudor carved panels that he had collected. He was also an able landscape gardener, creating the High Wood plantation of specimen trees and he planted extensively throughout the estate. When the pagoda-like tower, built by Edward Drax in 1790, was damaged by lightning in 1838, he had it rebuilt – adding 40ft to take it up to 120ft, which makes it the wonderful landmark it is today.
The subject of building brings us to the question of his funeral and the mausoleum he built in Holnest churchyard. Yes, he did rehearse his own funeral but, on reflection, it appears to be a sensible forethought in the spirit of the British tradition of doing such things well. Lots of people rehearse their weddings, so why the fuss that John Samuel should have his coffin carried by the estate workers to see they got it right. As for the story that he stood up for this, maintaining his balance in a moving coffin, he was an enfeebled man in his eighties at the time – so the story lacks verisimilitude. When the time actually came in January 1887, the funeral went off very well; a great crowd saw him off, just as he would have wished. The mausoleum had been built fifteen years earlier by Italian workmen, a solid edifice with one-foot-thick stone walls and an arched roof supported by great steel girders. Lucinda Lambton would have enthused over it, but unfortunately John Samuel left no money for its upkeep and, as the years went by, it fell into disrepair and the Sawbridge family obtained a special faculty from the bishop to have it demolished. The vast coffin of oak and lead containing John Samuel's remains was rather unceremoniously reburied under a white marble slab.
There is no doubt that villains make better reading than angels; look what Shakespeare did to Richard III. But like that much-maligned monarch, has not the time come to rehabilitate John Samuel? At the very least, we should be thankful for the majestic splendour of the Stag and Lion Gates that add a touch of style to that section of the A31 that will never be achieved by any modern motorway engineer. Three cheers for Sawbridge Drax!

A method for separating cells developed by researchers at North Carolina State University (Raleigh) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill relies on sound waves. The technique, according to Xiaoning Jiang, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and adjunct professor of biomedical engineering at NC State, could accelerate and simplify the process of sorting out live cells for research purposes.
Cell types respond to various chemicals or environmental factors. They are often grown in a liquid medium atop micropallets—essentially small plastic platforms that sit on the substrate at the bottom of the container. To analyze the cells, researchers select the ones they want and detach the relevant micropallets.
Current methods for removing these micropallets rely on lasers or physical manipulation to separate the pallets from the substrate. However, while physical manipulation is slow, the laser energy used to release micropallets 500 µm or larger in diameter can inadvertently kill many cells. Moreover, neither technique can efficiently detach a significant number of large micropallets quickly.
The new ultrasound technique releases the micropallets using focused, relatively high-frequency sound waves that are translated into a wave of pressure within the substrate itself. When that wave strikes a targeted micropallet, the pallet is lifted off the substrate. Using this method, micropallets can be selectively released in less than a millisecond. While this technique is slower than laser-based methods, it has a viability rate greater than 90%.
The following video highlights this process.

HULLAVINGTON speedster Fraser Rogers is celebrating a watershed moment in his racing career after signing a deal to take on the world in the FIM Supersport World Championship.
The 18-year-old, who won the Aprilia Superteens Championship and the Thundersport GB GP3 Championship as a youngster, was a replacement rider for the Com Plus SMS team in the final round of last year's championship in Jerez, Spain, last October.
But Rogers is now gearing up for a globe-trotting 2014 as he races a full campaign for Czech outfit Com Plus, with the first round taking place in Phillip Island, Australia, on February 23.
"Everything has really kicked off for me in the last six months and this is going to be a massive step up for me," he said.
"Last year, I wasn't really racing as much as I wanted to be but I've got myself a new agent and he's helped sort everything out with this deal. I'm a bit too big for Moto3 now and I'm ready to step up to the 600 (cc) bikes.
"I did Jerez as a replacement rider and we had some problems but I was only two-and-a-half seconds a lap off the champion when I had to retire. There were obviously a lot more spectators there than what I'm used to and I was nervous but I don't think I did too badly.
"I've already been over to the team owner's house in Brno for a few chats – I think that the foreign teams have a bit of an edge over the British and the champions are usually Italian or Spanish.
"Everyone racing is 18 or 19, or in their early 20s, and there aren't that many British riders too."
The Supersport Championship is a support series to the World Superbike Championship and Rogers sees it as the perfect place to put himself in the shop window in years to come.
He added: "You might get spotted by doing well in the Supersport and I'm really excited about it.
"I've never been to Australia before and it all really hasn't sunk in yet."
