Day Three Recap ... Warner goes whack
Upper hand: More than just an upper hand, Australia has now all but wrested back the urn with an absolutely dominant third day in which it skittled the rest of the English batting line-up cheaply, then, thanks to David Warner, blasted its way to an unbeatable position. The lead is 369 with seven wickets in hand, the only question now just when Clarke will declare. While Warner's knock was the highlight, the bowling early from Harris, Siddle and Johnson was superb, fiery, on target and with plenty of movement, and the batsmen simply couldn't cope. It was a day in keeping with many this series, Australia applying relentless pressure, and England failing to cope with it.
The key man: David Warner. Australia was in a very good position indeed with a lead of 135 on the first innings, but it still needed a decent second dig to cement its superiority. And it got it, quickly, through the agency of a super-aggressive opener, ably supported by Chris Rogers, the paid adding 157 for the first wicket. Warner took on every bowler. He rode his luck, and should have been out stumped when only 13, but his determination to keep forcing the runs paid off handsomely, his 100 coming from only 140 deliveries. A superb knock. Again.
Big moment: Warner has had a fantastic summer, and his second ton was a real highlight, one of the most aggressive knocks the WACA has seen in a Test since Adam Gilchrist went berserk back in 2006. Warner's celebration upon reaching the milestone was nearly as impressive as the knock itself, a huge leap in the air as the demoralised Englishman could only stand back and applaud. His career revival in the space of only a few months has been remarkable.
It all could have changed if ... Prior had managed to glove a lovely ball from spinner Swann which had Warner stranded down the crease. Well, maybe not all changed, but at least England would have had an early wicket, its tail up with the defecit still only 150. Instead, a team already down in the dumps was demoralised further, and a dropped catch later on, plus the injury to Stuart Broad only added the general dismay in the visitors' ranks.
Things went swimmingly for ... Ryan Harris hasn't received the same accolades as Mitch Johnson this series, but his bowling hasn't been a whole lot less important. He was superb again on day three, the early wicket of Bell starting the ball rolling, and finishing with a well-deserved three wickets. Has been superb for Australia since overcoming his injury problems.
Not so swimmingly for ... Matt Prior. The England keeper is having a "mare" of a summer, which continued on day three when he was out for just eight, missed the opportunity of stumping Warner, failed to move his feet to an edge from the same man, forcing Alastair Cook to dive late from slip and drop another chance, then missed a second stumping opportunity. It's been that sort of series for him.
What does it all mean?: That it's only a matter of a day or two before Australia officially regains The Ashes. Clarke will seek a lead of more than 400, perhaps 450, leaving Australia five-and-a-bit sessions at least to take 10 English wickets. And with the forecast for more of the same stinking heat, there's no help from above coming to save the mother country!
And that's that on day three. Rohan Connolly signing off here at blog central. Join us back here a bit after 1pm on Monday for all the day four action. Night y'all!
STUMPS: Australia 3/235 (Watson 29 not out, Smith 5 not out). Australia leads by 369 runs.
So Anderson to bowl the final over. First one's down the leg side. Smith plays the next out to point, no run. Sees off a couple more. Smith lets the last go. And that's the end of play, folks! Hang around for our summary of the day's play, coming up shortly!
Pitched outside leg and hit him outside line of leg, so pretty hard to see it being overturned. And it isn't. One review wasted by England the result.
Root's hit Watson in front, they go up for LBW, Billy Bowden turns it down, but the've gone the appeal.
Three overs to go tonight, Anderson has the next, Smith on strike. Pulls too early and it comes off the toe of the bat but bounces short of Prior. The sort of day the keeper's had, who's to say he would have held it had it carried? And now Smith plays a nice little leg glance, ruled four leg byes, though.Back to top
And Smith's straight off the mark, pulls Stokes to fine leg for a single. Six overs to go tonight, Aussies can just trundle along, ready to launch an all-out blitz on the bowling tomorrow.
WICKET! Stokes gets one to nip back between bat and pad and Clarke is out, bowled! Was starting to get into his stride, too. Needed that, the English youngster, Aus. 3/223.
And Clarke decided to crank it up! Dances down to Root and thumps it over mid-off for four. He's on 19, Watson 25, partnership worth 35 and the lead is 352.
Barmy Army sounds like the death row prisoner singing through the night to stay awake until the executioner calls at dawn. #ashes — Greg Baum (@GregBaum) December 15, 2013
Joe Root coming on for another trundle, run rate's been slowed, but this pair very comfortable, and the lead is closing in on 350. Nine overs left today, big question now is when does Australia declare? Wouldn't think they'd be batting on past lunch tomorrow.Back to top
The manic run spree of earlier has abated for now. Swann and Bresnan both bowled decent spells, and now Anderson's keeping a hold on things.
Lovely on-drive by Watson, just leans into a full length ball from Anderson and puts it through mid-wicket. He's up to 17, score 2/191, and the lead is 325. And Cook trying everything now, part-time spinner Joe Root coming on for a bowl, replacing Bresnan.
Better bowling from Swann today, runs have been slowed down for the moment, Clarke's only one, and Watson is up to 11. Aus. 2/186 and the lead is 320.
WICKET! Tries it again, but this time he holes out. Miles in the air of Swann, andStokes takes it nicely at deep mid-off. Superb knock, his 112 came from 140 balls, 17 fours and two sixes, with a strike rate of 80. Fair hand.
BANG! Warner's deposited Swann about 20 rows back into the stand. Might be taking it up another notch again!Back to top
Warner belts another beautiful cover drive off Bresnan after Watson was nearly run out. That's his 17th four.
Warner's averaging 128.6 in this series, has been superb. Amazing comeback from being sent away from the tour of England only a few months ago and a real foundation of what looks very likely to be an Ashes-winning line-up.
And there it is! Warner cuts Swann to the point boundary for four. That's his second ton of the series and an undefeated 83 to go with it. Ton came from 127 balls with 16 fours and a six. Great stuff.
Almost a repeat effort from Watson, blasts Bresnan through point for another boundary ... and Warner's on strike now.
Takes a single, though, moves on to 97. ... bit of an anti-climax, Dave! And Watson plays a beautiful square drive through point for four, that gets him off the mark.Back to top

The unsinkable CHOC Follies sailed proudly in its 17th year. Nothing could keep cast and organizers down at the March 28 performance of its three-day run at the Robert B. Moore Theatre at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa. Neither an earthquake during intermission nor last-minute cancellations by a couple of "actors" in walk-on roles (always played by local philanthropists) got in the way as the show steamed on with its usual enormous cast of volunteers joined by a few pros in leading roles.
Its "Chocton Abbey" theme drew extra laughs, intentional and otherwise, as family and friends delighted in seeing a parade of local notables dance and sing as best they could. The usual patchwork of Broadway and pop song spoofs, directed by John Vaughan, with music director Doug Austin and choreographer Lee Martino, made the most of varying degrees of talent. The cast comes from all walks of life and this year included Orange Coast magazine President and Publisher Chris Schulz; Michelle Thai, a doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton; and Heidi Miller, owner of Tight Assets boutiques.
After giving their all on stage, performers were ready to cut loose at the cast party. Co-chairwomen SueAnn Cross, Sandy Segerstrom Daniels and Dale Skiles mingled in the crowd, receiving congratulations on their performances. Temre Vouga and friends took over the makeshift lounge. When the DJ spun songs from the show, they burst into their ensemble routines.
After long hours of rehearsal and multiple years in the production, fast friendships form and everyone seems to have a special reason to dedicate so much time to the CHOC Foundation. Vouga, a 15-year veteran of the Follies, lost her first granddaughter when she was only a baby. She had been treated at Children's Hospital of Orange County and received the best of care, Vouga said. "She would have been 14 years old. That's why CHOC has a special place in my heart."
Paul-Dean Martin, of Anaheim, was back for his fifth year as a cast member. The founder and program director of the PDM Young Actors Workshop has brought his daughter Phoebe and son Max to CHOC. "How do you thank a doctor who saves your son's life?" he asked, saluting Dr. Amit Soni from the stage.
The cause is serious, but the show never takes itself too seriously. Founder and executive producer Gloria Zigner always hopes it's as much fun for the audience as for the performers. How'd she think it went on this night?
"It was great!" she said. "Nobody (screwed) up!"

Abbas set to unveil new government
The Palestinian president is expected to swear in a new prime minister and emergency cabinet two days after he dismissed the Hamas-led government.
Mahmoud Abbas asked Salam Fayyad, the independent finance minister in the now disbanded unity government, to form a new cabinet after Hamas fighters took full control Gaza Strip.
Upheaval in the wake of Hamas's takeover continued in the West Bank on Saturday with Fatah fighters and activists storming a Palestinian parliament building in Ramallah to protest the move.
Fighters grabbed the deputy speaker, who is linked to Hamas, and dragged him from the building.
In the West Bank city of Hebron, al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades fighters, an offshoot of Fatah, stormed government offices and set up checkpoints to search for Hamas members.
Saturday Jun 16th, 2007 8:33 AM
Ian Black, Middle East editor
Saturday June 16, 2007
The Guardian
Hamas's armed takeover of the Gaza Strip has left Palestinians shocked and wondering out loud whether reconciliation is possible - or whether further disasters now await them after this landmark moment in their troubled history.
Neither the Islamist movement nor its Fatah rival can see a quick or easy way out of this new impasse, even if logic suggests both must seek conciliation to avoid a permanent geographical and political split between the coastal enclave and the West Bank - the two parts of any putative Palestinian state. Arab governments, worried by Hamas's victory, will encourage them to do so. The US and Europe are less sure.
As the dust settled over Thursday's dramatic military developments, it was the turn of political leaders in Palestine, Israel, the wider Middle East and beyond to consider their next moves.

BRICS go over the wall
BRICS go over the wall
By Pepe Escobar
Mar 26, '13
Reports on the premature death of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) have been greatly exaggerated. Western corporate media is flooded with such nonsense, perpetrated in this particular case by the head of Morgan Stanley Investment Management.
Reality spells otherwise. The BRICS meet in Durban, South Africa, this Tuesday to, among other steps, create their own credit rating agency, sidelining the dictatorship - or at least "biased agendas", in New Delhi's diplomatic take - of the Moody's/Standard & Poor's variety. They will also further advance the idea of the BRICS Development Bank, with a seed capital of US$50 billion (only structural details need to be finalized), helping infrastructure and sustainable development projects.
Crucially, the US and the European Union won't have stakes in this Bank of the South - a concrete alternative, pushed especially by India and Brazil, to the Western-dominated World Bank and the Bretton Woods system.
As former Indian finance minister Jaswant Singh has observed, such a development bank could, for instance, channel Beijing's know-how to help finance India's massive infrastructure needs.

1. "seed capital"
That's a tiny amount in comparison with their combined total reserves in US$'s which are truly humungous.
This is an intelligent use of those reserves.

2. "infrastructure and sustainable development"
These are intelligent targets, or could be, if they'd only add the vital aim of also maximising what the social & policy scientists & technicians are calling "wellbeing" - see eg. http://www.bath.ac.uk/study/pg/programmes/msc-well-pub-pol-int-dev - and emphasise that "sustainable" really must mean sustainable in the context of an already seriously fucked-up natural environment now entering a chaotic transition phase.

One of our favorite artists, Danny Azoulay, is admired near and far. One of his many beautiful ketubot, the Gardens Ketubah, was the chosen ketubah for a wonderful newlywed couple.
The happy couple, Sara and Yonah Veffer, were married on November 8, 2011 in Beit Shemesh, Israel.
The Gardens Ketubah displays two trees, strong and tall, which flank a tranquil garden. Their branches gracefully reach upwards towards the sky and each other. They are joined by the arc of a rainbow sheltering a golden menorah. Beneath, the words, "I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine – Ani l'dodi v'dodi li" form a bridge connecting these two trees.
A beautiful allegoric visualization of the marriage ceremony, the delicate paper cut ketubah is embellished with hand applied 24 karat gold leaf.
Danny Azoulay's papercut ketubot are intricate and exquisite pieces of art.
Azoulay creates each ketubah in Jerusalem, and each ketubah is dated, numbered and signed by the artist and is one of a limited edition. It not only imbues the marriage ceremony with beauty, but is an artwork to be lastingly treasured by future generations.
Each ketubah made by Danny Azoulay will serve as a new couple's first family heirloom.

Gabriele Angella admits the number of different nationalities at Watford does make it harder for new players to integrate but insists the Hornets are all together when they go out on the pitch.
Angella was speaking before he was controversially sent off against Bournemouth last weekend when Watford's matchday squad included players from ten different countries.
The 24-year-old moved to Vicarage Road from Udinese in the summer and admits a multi-lingual dressing room means individual groups are inevitable.
"It is normal to have groups but it's important that on the pitch the players stay together and we help each other," Angella said.
"It hasn't been easy to stay together all the time because it's difficult to understand when some of the British players speak very fast. I try to understand but it's difficult.
"It would be easier if I was only with English players – I would probably learn faster – but there are a lot of Italians and Spaniards and players who I played with at Udinese. But the group is together."
Watford's foreign players take weekly English lessons but the schedule is sometimes disrupted by midweek matches.
Angella stressed the importance of new players learning the language but said he doesn't believe communication is a problem during games.
"I think when a player plays in a foreign league, he has to learn the language," Angella said.
"But I speak well when I play football, we speak all together and we play well. It's not a problem on the pitch.
"When we play we always use the same words – up, down, right, left – it's easy."
Watford have registered three clean sheets in the seven matches since Beppe Sannino's arrival and conceded only two goals from open play.
Angella, who was deployed on the right side of the defensive trio against Bournemouth, says the team have become much more solid under their new boss.
"He has changed the way we play," Angella said. "I think we play more compact, with more concentration and we are together. Those are the qualities that maybe we didn't have before."
He continued: "Maybe the difference is Gianfranco (Zola) played in England and liked to play English football whereas Mr Sannino never played in English football.
"I think we needed this new mentality because this is a bad period.
"We have the potential to become a good team and I think we need to be more compact because this is the most important quality for us to get better.
"We need it to come together quickly."
Watford are now 15th in the Championship, seven points above the relegation zone and ten points behind the last play-off spot.
Angella insists the team's promotion ambitions are not over yet but admits time is running out for the Hornets to prove their quality.
"The play-offs are the objective," the defender said. "We work for this and we know we have the quality to do it.
"We need to demonstrate our quality though because time is running out so we need to improve quickly."

During a Monday morning news conference, Bell County Sheriff Eddy Lange said his department was close to making arrests in the August slaying of Angie Leigh Rogers.
Rogers, 23, was reported missing July 27, according to the Killeen Police Department. Her body was discovered in August in a field south of the intersection of Chaparral and West Trimmier roads in south Killeen.
The Southwest Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas reported Rogers died of a gunshot wound.
Lange said investigators had developed some prime suspects, and he expected the case to come to a conclusion by the end of this week or sometime within the following week.

iPhone on Nokia Symbian
After the official launch on Apple's most popular product the Apple iPhone last year on the 9th of January 2007 just after the new Mac OS, a whole new market for this particular smartphone was born. That market have grown significantly over the last year and is still growing by the minute with the second version of the smartphone, iPhone 3G. Apple always focus on performance and features more than anything else and the best examples can be the iPod, the MacBook and of course the iPhone. Where is Nokia amidst all this? Why am I all of a sudden going from a Nokiaholic to an Apple geek?
Because today what I am about to publish has something to do with both of the iPhone and Nokia. After you read this post, download and install this mobile application on your Nokia symbian phones, you will not only feel that iPhone actually have a nice interface but if Nokia adopted a similar pattern with its symbian OS platform, it would have quite fantastic to say the very least. Don't get me wrong, I will pick a Nokia N-Series or E-Series S60 smartphone any day of the week over an iPhone, but I do admit that the regular menu of iPhone is quite beautiful than the default symbian GUI, plus I love the Apple Mac!! Overall in terms of compatibility, user friendliness and the flexibility of the symbian operating system on any smartphones, Symbian wins hands down over iPhone.
The main appeal of the iPhone (beside the music) is its touch screen sensitivity and the ability of it to serve external interfaces as applications. There are WordPress (the platform I am using for this blog, I love wordpress btw on a totally different note) plugins dedicated for the iPhone mainly because in the states most people are using iPhone over the Symbian. Sad really because Nokia phones are still the number one deal maker and breaker in the industry and WordPress should have had something for focused to the rest of the world users who actually uses something else and certainly not iPhone. Anyway, back to the topic and what I am about to publish today will convert your default Nokia symbian menu and settings (not the core settings) to that of the Apple iPhone, thus giving you the looks of the iPhone while letting you use the much better Symbian OS. It is called Symbian Plus and it will "flip and swooop" your default Nokia interface!
When you install this application and restart your smartphone, you will see that the entire screen has changed quite significantly. When you enter the menu you will be presented with the fabulous little iPhone navigation bar with the animated zooming icon menu through which you can access various applications and commands directly. The animation menu depends entirely on your current symbian os edition of course. You also get the 3D sliding effect that you can see in the iPhone 3G version, it is not perfect but it is quite satisfactory considering that this is the very first version of this creative mobile application. There is another similar application in the mobile software and applications market, which I already published in the past, called iPhone style Launcher or iLauncher for Symbian S60 cell phones and handhelds. But Symbian plus is surely more powerful and intuitive than that one.
Symbian Plus also has one nifty thing which I mentioned earlier, the navigation dock bar that actually was Apple's Mac thing and later ported to the iPhone. You can opt to have a total of seven different applications or functions there each dedicated to something different. By default Symbian Plus assigns the first icon to be settings, the second to be the mobile gaming dedicated pad. The third is assigned for going back to phone and the rest are the internet browser, music, help and refresh buttons respectively. This mobile application also lets you experience the Mobile 2.0 interface with the help of its pop up menu screens. It is really hard to describe it, but once you install it you will know what I meant lol.
Anyway, this symbian mobile application is compatible with a wide variety of Symbian 3rd edition phones including N71, N75, N73, N76, N77, N78, N79, N81, N82, N85, N91, N92, N93, N95, N95 8gb, N96, E50, E51, E65, E71, E66, 5320, 5700, 5800, 6210, 6120, 6121, 6122, 6290, 6500, 8600 Luna and Arte. All major GSM networks are supported like the Orange Mobile UK, 3G Wireless, Sprint, Nextel, AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Cingular, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone, Optimus, Telenor, TeliaSonera, Telstra etc.

Tirumala Tirupati Lord Venkateshwara temple is considering to do away with all kinds of special darshan tickets, reserved sevas and paid worships. It is a welcome move as the so called VIP darshan tickets and other paid worships creates two classes of devotees at the world famous abode of Lord Balaji – poor and rich. Such tickets bought using money power by impatient devotees, cause inconvenience to poor devotees who stand in long queues for hours and often reminding them of their poor social status even before the Lord.
M. L. Melly Maitreyi writes in The Hindu about the plan to de-commercialize the
It must be noted that Vaishno Devi shrine recently started paid darshan and they defended the decision by citing
In a significant initiative to 'de-commercialise' the world-famous temple of Lord Venkateshwara and enhance the spiritual experience for devotees, the Tirumala-Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Board is contemplating scrapping of special darshan tickets as also some of the 'Arjita Sevas' (paid worship).
In tune with the reforms, the Board recently constituted a two-member committee to study the feasibility of such an initiative and submit a report.
The effort now was to change the existing practices at Tirumala and provide equal access to all devotees, irrespective of their social status. In order to ensure a smooth transition, the committee would consider various implications of removing 'Arjita Sevas' as some of them were booked years in advance.

Harare – Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock missed out on centuries as South Africa advanced to 334 for seven at tea on day three of the one-off Test against Zimbabwe on Monday.
Du Plessis was out for 98 shortly before the lunch interval while De Kock was dismissed for 81 during the afternoon session, which stunted South Africa's progress as they built a lead over Zimbabwe's first innings score of 256 all out.
The Proteas added just 10 runs in a 16-over period prior to tea, as JP Duminy and Vernon Philander showed an unwillingness to counter Zimbabwe's defensive tactics.
Philander was bowled by Sean Williams on the stroke of tea, having scored 17 from 87 deliveries, while Duminy was unbeaten on 28 from 95 deliveries.
South Africa had showed greater intent in the morning when Du Plessis and De Kock were at the wicket.
Although the pair took their time adapting to the pace of the pitch early on, scoring 11 runs in the first eight overs of the day, they gradually took the attack to the Zimbabwean bowlers.
The hosts responded to that pressure by offering up some loose deliveries, allowing South Africa a relatively profitable 77 runs from the session.
That compared favourably to their progress on Sunday, when they scored 201 for four in 84 overs, and to the 56 they added in 30
overs during Monday afternoon's session.
The 119-run partnership between Du Plessis and De Kock was broken when the right-hander was caught off the bowling of John Nyumbu to fall agonisingly short of three figures.
Meanwhile De Kock was dismissed by Williams, who had figures of 2 for 82. – Sapa-AFP

CHARITIES in Somerset and Devon could land a cash jackpot of thousands of pounds thanks to your County Gazette.
The Gannett Foundation is the charitable arm of Gannett, owner of Newsquest Media Group, which publishes regional newspapers, websites and magazines nationwide, including the County Gazette and its sister papers in Somerset.
The Gannett Foundation provides funding to support local projects and organisations in areas where Newsquest operates in the UK.
It values projects that bring lasting benefits to the communities and neighbourhoods served by its papers.
That includes schemes for neighbourhood improvement and local problem-solving, economic development, youth development, education and cultural creativity, help for the disadvantaged or disabled and environmental conservation.
Editor Alex Cameron said: "We want to help good causes throughout the area to realise their ambitions.
"Grants are typically made for substantial projects which require and merit awards of between £5,000 and £10,000.
"The trustees also consider more modest applications, but we actively encourage imaginative and ambitious projects on a bigger scale.
"We're also able to join with other contributors to support elements of larger projects.
"This year trustees are encouraging hospices to make an application.
"Though hospices receive about onethird of their funding from the NHS, they remain very reliant on charitable donations."
Preference may be given to ideas which create a durable legacy for the community, but Gannett will consider single events or projects of limited duration that otherwise meet the criteria.
Applications, along with full guidelines and details on restrictions, can be downloaded by clicking on somersetcountygazette.co.uk/ gannett_foundation The closing date for applications, which should be emailed to email@example.com, is 5pm on Thursday, September 11.

Employee reward systems have been around for decades, and it's easy to see why. When employee rewards programs are planned intelligently and implemented with care, they're a proven method of enhancing performance, increasing morale and building employee loyalty.
And the best part, for small businesses especially is that employee appreciation gifts don't necessarily have to be costly. The idea and the spirit behind employee reward systems — the mere fact that a company is singling out and showing gratitude toward employees who are doing a great job — can be as motivational as the material employee rewards that may be given.
Employee rewards can help you retain top employees, but other approaches help, too. Check out these great resources on employee retention.
Employee appreciation gifts
Here's a list of some of the popular employee appreciation gifts that small businesses may want to consider:
- Time off or extra vacation days
- A note or letter of appreciation from the company president
- Dinner (for two) at a local restaurant or a group lunch for an outstanding department
- A designated employee-of-the-month parking spot
- A photo and brief article in the company newsletter
- A press release to the local newspaper
- Inexpensive plaques or paperweights
- Special gear (T-shirt, tote bag, etc.) with the company logo
- Movie tickets
Be sure to download your free copy of the following resource guides to help improve your employee reward systems:

Everything you need to understand or teach Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes.
Martha Boyle is out of school for summer vacation and she and her family are preparing for their annual trip to the ocean. One day there's a knock on the door and Martha answers to discover a woman standing there. The woman introduces herself as Olive Barstow's mother. Olive was in Martha's class at school but had been hit by a car while riding her bicycle and died only a few months earlier. Olive's mother tells Martha that she'd found a page in Olive's journal that she thought Martha should have. She hands Martha the page, says "thank you" to Martha, then leaves. Martha reads the journal entry and discovers that Olive hoped to be a writer, that she wanted to visit the ocean, and that he hoped above all else that she and Martha would become friends. Olive writes that Martha is the "nicest girl" in the entire class, a fact that catches Martha by surprise.
Martha says nothing to the others in the family about the strange visit from Olive's mother as they scramble to get ready to leave, but she thinks about it. She goes to the scene of Olive's accident without really considering what she'd expected to find, and finds nothing to mark the spot. The family then packs up to leave and soon arrives at the home of Martha's father. The bond between Martha and her grandmother, who she calls "Godbee," is strong. When Martha and Godbee begin a daily ritual of sharing information about themselves, Martha finds herself ready to confide her desire to be a writer. She also learns things about her grandmother, and comes to worry about Godbee's health. She becomes friends with a boy in the neighborhood but discovers that he's not what she expected, but she finds a true friend in another boy. While Martha is making these discoveries, she watches as her parents come to a new understanding that will change Martha's life.
Meanwhile, Martha is enjoying her time on the beach. One day she goes walking with her little sister, Lucy. Martha takes a clean baby food bottle along. As she scoops up a bottle of ocean water, the ground caves in and she spends a minute fighting for her life. She recovers and makes it out of the water but realizes that she could have died, just as Olive died and just as her grandmother will someday die.
Martha takes the bottle of ocean water home with her and goes to Olive's house only to find that Olive's mother has left. Not knowing what else to do with the water, she takes a seat on the porch and begins writing Olive's name with an old paintbrush. As she writes, the water evaporates, so that Martha writes it over and over again, until the water is gone.
Olive's Ocean Lesson Plans contain 138 pages of teaching material, including:

This can only be encouraging news, right? I certainly think so.The Pacers are more likely to make trades then spend a lot of money on free agents, according to sources. They want to avoid overspending on a free agent.
As far as free agents go, the Pacers are leery about David West because of his age 31 hes coming off knee surgery and how much hell still be able to contribute two or three years from now.
The Pacers like Nene, but word is they dont want to break the bank to sign him.

BE careful what you wish for.
Disillusioned by their defeat in the 1979 General Election, some Labour supporters defected in 1981 to the newly formed SDP led by the 'Gang of Four' Roy Jenkins, David Owen, Bill Rodgers and Shirley Williams.
Their aim was to change the face of British politics and they succeeded, but not in the way they had planned or imagined.
Instead of getting the Tory party out of power they ensured it stayed in power for another 16 years.
Not only that, they forced the Labour Party to re-invent itself as 'New Labour'.
What did they get out of that, Tony Blair!
So beware you people who think voting UKIP will change the face of British politics. It may well succeed in doing just that, but not in the way you plan or imagine.

HARARE South African captain AB de Villiers admits he was shocked Australia left spinner Nathan Lyon out of their attack for the tri-series one-dayer in Harare.
In the end, it could be argued Australia's decision to drop Lyon was match-defining, as de Villiers and Faf du Plessis picked off the seamers and part-time spinners in gold clothing with consummate ease in a seven-wicket triumph.
Proteas front-line spinner Imran Tahir claimed the crucial top order scalps of Phil Hughes and Mitchell Marsh to finish with figures of 2-45 from 10 overs - easily the most economical of the game - while Australia's attack struggled for answers.
Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell never threatened in their five overs bowled, and the pace-heavy arsenal of Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, James Faulkner, Kane Richardson and Mitchell Marsh - who all went at seven an over - were helpless to contain in belting batting conditions.
De Villiers said Australia's decision not to play Lyon played right into their hands.
"I was surprised. We were all quite surprised by that," he said.
"I'm pretty sure looking back now they would probably have played Nathan, but that was still a pretty amazing cricket team that played today and we were just a better team today."
Australia's decision to omit Lyon was based on the fact they felt they needed extra batting to conquer the Proteas, recalling Phil Hughes to open the batting.
That thought process paid off with Hughes scoring 51 in a total of 327, but Australia may have to look at dropping one of their seamers to accommodate Lyon in their remaining matches.
Lyon took 2-42 against Zimbabwe on Monday.
Captain George Bailey played down Lyon's axing as a major factor, but admitted changes would be considered going forward.
"It didn't turn that much," he said.
"I probably could have bowled our part-timers a little more or got them into the game a little bit earlier. You can only have 11 unfortunately.
"I've got to give a little bit of credit to Faf and AB, I thought they batted beautifully."

USDA implements new storage loan provisions
WILLMAR -- In accordance with the 2008 farm bill, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is implementing new provisions that will allow producers of eligible commodities to obtain low-interest financing to build or upgrade farm storage and handling facilities.
The new provisions, which went into effect on Aug. 17, will either amend or supplement the Farm Storage Facility Loan program that is administered by USDA's Farm Service Agency.
The key program provisions that were amended include: an increase in maximum loan amounts; the availability of extended loan terms; and an expanded list of commodities and crops that will qualify for the program.
Previously, the maximum loan amount, including the remaining balance on any other outstanding Farm Storage Facility loans, was limited to $100,000. Under the new provisions, the maximum loan amount was increased to $500,000.
As in the past, any loans in excess of $50,000 will require additional security. The additional security can consist of either a first lien on the underlying real estate or another form of security, such as a guaranteed line of credit that meets the approval of USDA.
Also unchanged was the requirement that borrowers provide a down payment of 15 percent, with USDA providing a loan for the remaining 85 percent of the net cost of the eligible storage facility, permanent grain drying equipment or grain handling equipment. However, if the borrower provides a down payment of 20 percent, a severance agreement would not be needed for loans that require a real estate lien.
Previously, loan terms were limited to a maximum of 7 years. Under the new provisions, loan terms of 7, 10 or 12 years are available depending on the amount of the loan. However, the interest rate in effect for each term may be different, based on the rate at which USDA borrows from the Treasury Department.
The new farm bill also expanded the list of Farm Storage Facility Loan eligible commodities. In addition to the typical grain crops of corn, soybeans and small grains, the list of eligible commodities now includes hay, fruit and vegetable crops, and a wide variety of renewable biomass crops.
Also new is a provision that will allow for a partial disbursement of loan proceeds. The partial disbursement will be available after a portion of the construction has been completed, with a final disbursement once all construction is completed.
The amount of the partial disbursement cannot exceed 50 percent of the approved loan amount.
Applications for the program will be accepted at the FSA county office that maintains the applicant's farm records. Producers will need to submit a nonrefundable $100 application fee at time of application.
Applications must be submitted and loan approval received before any site preparation or construction can begin.
FSA payments subject to Treasury Offset Program
Producers should be aware of several changes that have been implemented for payments issued via direct deposit by USDA's Farm Service Agency.
To be compliant with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, all FSA payments will be processed through the Treasury Offset Program. This will allow the government to offset any delinquent federal debt.
This new process will result in a delay in the receiving of direct deposit payments by one business day.
If the Treasury Offset Program database finds a match for a taxpayer identification number and name, the payment will be offset for the delinquent debt. The U.S. Treasury Department will notify the payment recipient of any offsets taken for debts due other agencies.
Recipients of FSA direct deposit payments will also notice a change in the payment description provided on their bank accounts and bank statements. Previously, the description on the payee's bank statement read "USDA-FSAKCMOCDSP." The new description will now read, "FSA TREAS 310."
USDA and DOJto host public workshops
Officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Justice have announced that they will host joint public workshops to explore competition issues affecting the agriculture industry, and the appropriate role for antitrust and regulatory enforcement in the industry. These will be the first joint USDA/DOJ workshops ever held to discuss competition and regulatory issues in the agriculture industry.
The workshops will address the dynamics of competition in agricultural markets including, among other things, buyer power and vertical integration. In addition, the hearings will provide farmers, ranchers, consumer groups, processors and agribusinesses with the opportunity to provide examples of potentially anticompetitive conduct.
The first workshop will be held in early 2010. While some of the workshops may be held in Washington, D.C., others will be held regionally. Additional information about the date, time and location of the workshops will be provided at a later date.
Wes Nelson is executive director of the USDA Farm Service Agency in Kandiyohi County.

Tightening monetary policies have helped contain demand for credit and inflation, but limited credit is likely to slow down economic growth in 2012.
Tightening monetary policies have helped contain demand for credit and inflation, but limited credit is likely to slow down economic growth in 2012.
According to HSBC experts, Vietnam has been successful in reducing demand to control inflation, but this has also decreased economic growth more than expected.
No consumer demand
In the first quarter of this year, economic growth declined to only 4.1 percent against the same period last year, marking the lowest rise since March, 2009. The service sector experienced the sharpest decrease.
The slow growth of the economy reflects the tight credit supply. Businesses are facing various challenges and this was shown in the declining outstanding loan balance in 2011 and 2012. Difficult access to capital resources has forced thousands of businesses to dissolve or halt their operations, especially real estate and construction companies.
The growing gap between exports and imports is another sign of the decrease of domestic demand. Exports have been up 22.1 percent since the beginning of the year, while imports have risen only 4.4 percent.
As most of Vietnam's imports are materials for production, the gap shows businesses' careful consideration. In fact, imports of fertilizer, cotton, fiber, footwear material, steel, automobiles, petrol and gas have seen sharp declines compared to the same period last year.
With economic growth slowing down more than expected and inflation following a downward trend for months, HSBC predicts that the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) is likely to loosen monetary policies in the third quarter of this year.
The Government will also facilitate the economy's credit growth through administrative tools and the implementation of preferential credit policies for the economy's key sectors.
However, HSBC forecast that Vietnam's economic growth in 2012 will reach only 5.1 percent, much lower than the 5.9 percent of 2011, despite loose monetary policy and faster growth in the remaining months of 2012.
Scenario for the Vietnamese currency
Although there have been more positive signs for the stabilisation of the Vietnam dong , such as the decreasing trade deficit and the surging FDI inflow in the past six months, HSBC experts maintain their cautious view on the stabilization the currency, as they are concerned that the monetary policy may become too loose if inflation bounced back at the end of 2012.
If inflation keeps decreasing, the Vietnam dong will be stable, they predict.
They also said the SBV's decision to cut deposit interest rates in March and April and the downward trend of inflation are positive signs for the currency, which has long been in a vicious circle of devaluation and inflation.
Although Vietnam managed to curb inflation, experts warned of the price pressure which is likely to return to Asian countries in the second half of the year.
If the SBV's monetary policies fail to keep pace with the market, there will be a negative impact on the Vietnam dong by the end of 2012, they said.

The Shinbone Alley Stilt Band Play Cornelia Street Cafe 7/4
The Shinbone Alley Stilt Band will play the Cornelia Street Cafe on July 4 as a celebration of the cafe's 33rd birthday. The celebration will last all day with a performance from the band at 2 PM.
The Shinbone Alley Stilt Band is a project of the Bond Street Theatre which was founded in 1976 (amazingly, they are even older than we are). The company creates innovative pieces that address social and environmental issues. Their work brings them to refugee camps, areas of conflict and post-war environments, where they collaborate with local artists to promote the value of the arts in shaping a peaceful future. We very much approve. PS. They also dance and make music.

Romnesia," his inability to remember his political positions, extends to issues around the world. Month after month, Romney criticized Obama for his timeline on leaving Afghanistan, stating that it gives away our intentions to the Taliban. Last night, he agreed that American troops should be home by 2014. Romney previously said that killing Bin Laden "was not worth moving heaven and earth" and that the president's warning to Pakistan that he might use force against terrorists there was "ill considered." Last night, Romney agreed with killing Bin Laden. Romney previously said that he'd never engage in bilateral discussions with the Iranians to end their nuclear program. Last night, he said he'd do that.
Romney said last night that Obama projected weakness abroad. How killing Bin Laden and using drones, which Romney also said he agreed with, figure into such "weakness" remains vague. So did Romney clarify how he'd handle foreign affairs differently? Of course not. Instead, we had another "etch-a-sketch" Romney performance. Romney didn't want to come across as a neocon hawk–despite the fact that he has stocked his foreign policy advisers with Bush-era neocons, something about which Colin Powell expressed concern. Just as we saw "moderate Mitt" in domestic affairs in the first debate, this time we saw him in foreign affairs.
Obama correctly stated that Romney has no consistent policies regarding world events: ""Governor, the problem is that on a whole range of issues, whether it's the Middle East, whether it's Afghanistan, whether it's Iraq, whether it's now Iran, you've been all over the map." Indeed, Romney has a global case of Romnesia.

Have Finance Questions? Ask a Financial Expert Online.
Thanks for your question, and thanks for using JustAnswer.com
Your client would prepare a full year return - and claim the foreign earned income exclusion on the income that he earned in Brazil
Therefore, they would only be paying tax on the income earned in the uS
There is a limit on the foreign earned income exclusion
It's $97,600 (limit on foreign earned income exclusion)
Ok is there a tax form associated with claiming the foreign earned income exclusion?
Yes, it is form 2555
I have a Brazil tax return from the client but the numbers are in Brazil currency?
Do I have to do a conversion/exchange? Doesn't seem to be an exact measure because the exchange rate changes constantly.
Yes, you will convert the earnings to USD at the rate at the end of the year

HTC Evo View 4G First Android Tablet to Support Netflix. Why?
Here comes the HTC Evo View 4G! And it's packing a lot of firsts for its Friday debut on Sprint: The tablet is Sprint's first 4G Android tablet to hit the market, periodthat's the first tablet set up to work with the company's 4G WiMax networkaround 5 Mbps downloads and 950 Kbps uploads, based on PCMag's testing.
Most importantlyfor movie buffsthe HTC Evo View 4G is the first tablet to ship with built-in support for Netflix movie and video streaming. In doing so, it joins an exclusive club of Android devices that support the service: A sad list that's currently limited to just nine Android smartphones.
So what's the deal? Are other Android-equipped devicesboth phones and tabletsjust too slow to run Netflix? Not necessarily. A Sprint spokeswoman confirmed in an interview with Wired that the company performed plenty of testing to ensure that Netflix streaming would proceed smoothly across the company's network.
The more realistic answer as to why you can't yet get Netflix on, say, a Motorola Xoom tablet, is the ugly monster that often rears its head whenever Android upgrades are discussed: Fragmentation. In the case of Netflix, the company has to perform extra research and configuration to ensure that the digital rights management systems it employs work across a number of Android devices. And that's not just a work-once, works-everywhere kind of proposal.
"Setting aside the debate around the value of content protection and DRM, they are requirements we must fulfill in order to obtain content from major studios for our subscribers to enjoy," wrote Netflix's Greg Peters in a November 2010 blog post. "Although we don't have a common platform security mechanism and DRM, we are able to work with individual handset manufacturers to add content protection to their devices. Unfortunately, this is a much slower approach and leads to a fragmented experience on Android, in which some handsets will have access to Netflix and others won't."
And if you think issues of fragmentation are just constrained to Netflix, think again. Even Hulu hasn't been able to get its Hulu Plus streaming app up-and-running on an Android tablet. The company's streaming television launched supporting six Android smartphones, and there's no indication of what the timeline might be to bring the service to these devices' larger cousins.
But even though you might cheer at the Netflix support on HTC's Evo View 4G, the service comes with its own price: The HTC Evo View 4G ships with the older "Gingerbread" release of Android, or 2.3an upgrade to Honeycomb, or 3.0, is expected to arrive via a future software update. But at least you can stream movies while you wait?

Campus Update:
I am writing to bring your attention to three important policies that are particularly important as we enter one of the busiest times of the academic year. The three policies share a common goal—to outline the standards for confidentiality, security, and the general handling of information and documents maintained by the university. A brief description of each policy follows, and each can be accessed online. Because these policies are important to our work as a university, please ensure that you and others affected are familiar with each.
The requirements of these policies are dictated by various federal and local laws and constitute sound business practices. We have an obligation to protect the information that we gather in order to conduct our day-to-day activities. Those who trust us with their personal information deserve to know that we will do all that we can to keep their personal information safe and secure.
I assume we all agree that maintaining confidentiality and protecting the personal information of AU community members is core ethical and management values. For those of us who control that information, we must also remember we have legal obligations as well. Please review these policies and the procedures within your departments that ensure compliance.
Information Technology Security
American University conducts significant portions of its operations via wired and wireless computer networks. The confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information systems, applications, and data that is stored and transmitted over these networks are critical to the university's reputation and success. Nevertheless, AU systems and data face threats from a variety of ever-changing sources. The Information Technology Security Policies establish requirements for the university community to follow to safeguard AU's academic and administrative information resources. The policies were developed by the Information Technology Security Project Team, which included a broad cross-section of faculty and staff and was vetted by many in the university community. An education and implementation assistance program is being developed by the committee.
Information Security Plan (Gramm-Leach-Bliley)
This Information Security Plan is intended to comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA") in protecting the security and privacy of sensitive, non-public, personal information. It is designed to ensure the confidentiality and protect against unauthorized access to personal information maintained by the university.
Records Retention and Disposal
The Records Retention and Disposal Policy provides a standardized process for maintaining and disposing of university records; it resulted from consultation with the university community to establish appropriate practices. The retention schedule is a living document and instructions for further input for changes are included in the policy. The university is currently working to select a vendor to assist with an extensive education program, and to develop guidelines to help offices implement the policy requirements.
You will receive additional information on the procedures to comply with the requirements of these important policies. Please contact the Office of Finance and Treasurer at (202) 885-2700 if you have questions about the policies or their implementation.
AU's strategic plan, Leadership for a Changing World, outlines goals and objectives for the next decade at American University. Visit american.edu/strategicplan for more information. (myAU.american.edu login required for some documents)
Visit the Building AU website to read about facilities projects that support AU's academic aspirations and enhance campus ambiance. You can also learn more about AU's Campus Plan.

Ubuntu Linux On Windows 10 — Here Are The First Pictures For You
Short Bytes: At the first day of Microsoft Build Developer Conference 2016, something amazing happened. Microsoft showed the world how Ubuntu on Windows 10 can ease the lives of developers. By installing official Ubuntu binaries on Windows 10, you can use any Linux tool on Windows 10 and get your work done.
Earlier, we told you about the expected next chapter in Microsoft's love affair with Linux that mentioned a partnership between Microsoft and Canonical to bring Ubuntu to Windows 10. Well, at Microsoft's Developer Build Conference 2016 we got the confirmation.The long-rival operating systems have come together to allow developers use their favorite Linux tools inside Windows 10. During Day 1's keynote at Build 2016, Microsoft's Kevin Gallo announced that now you can run Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. This won't be possible due to some virtual machine, emulator or a container. Instead, it'll be with the help of Ubuntu binaries running natively in Windows 10.
Microsoft has already brought Visual Studio and SQL Server to Linux, apart from other examples of its admiration for open source and Linux.
Ubuntu on Windows 10 — What does it mean?
Well, thanks to the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary update, Windows OS will get a new developer feature that will allow you to import Ubuntu binaries and run native Linux shells and command line tools.
To run Bash on Windows, users usually turned to Cygwin, a GNU command line utility for Win 32 or HyperV and Ubuntu. Another option was to use Docker to run a Linux container.
On his blog, Dustin Kirkland from Canonical writes:
Willing to know more? Well, when this feature arrives in Windows 10, you'll be able to run Ubuntu on Windows 10 by simply getting Ubuntu from Canonical and Windows Store like this:
To run Bash on Windows, users usually turned to Cygwin, a GNU command line utility for Win 32 or HyperV and Ubuntu. Another option was to use Docker to run a Linux container.
On his blog, Dustin Kirkland from Canonical writes:
"Right, so just Ubuntu running in a virtual machine?" Nope! This isn't a virtual machine at all. There's no Linux kernel booting in a VM under a hypervisor. It's just the Ubuntu user space. "Ah, okay, so this is Ubuntu in a container then?" Nope! This isn't a container either. It's native Ubuntu binaries running directly in Windows. "Hum, well it's like cygwin perhaps?" Nope! Cygwin includes open source utilities are recompiled from source to run natively in Windows. Here, we're talking about bit-for-bit, checksum-for-checksum Ubuntu ELF binaries running directly in Windows.
Here's more:
Inside your Windows installation drive, you can see all of your Ubuntu files in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Lxss\rootfs\
After setting up everything, you can run apt-get update in Windows 10 and download your favorite developer packages. Below is the result of apt-get install emacs23:
Here's a Windows 10 Start Menu screenshot that shows Ubuntu on Windows 10. Looks pretty great to me!
Here's what Dustin Kirkland had to say — "This is an almost surreal endorsement by Microsoft on the importance of open source to developers. Indeed, what a fantastic opportunity to bridge the world of free and open source technology directly into any Windows 10 desktop on the planet."
Are you excited about this future with Ubuntu on Windows 10? Share your views in the comments below.

Nagoya's Immigration Office has moved. The old office in Marunouchi has closed. The new purpose built Immigration Office is near Nagoya Port on the Aonami Line south from Nagoya Station.
Other things are different too. Gone are the grumpy old Japanese men in uniforms at reception, in are polyglot Filipinas. Reception on the first floor informed me in perfect English to go to the second floor to renew my re-entry permit.
Signs are in Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean and English with a convenience store on the second floor where you can pay your "gaijin tax" - the 3,000 or 6,000 yen for a single or multiple re-entry permit that is placed in your passport and is valid for three years, if you have permanent residency, a spouse or work visa.
Renewing a re-entry permit should take no more than 15 minutes.

This week's Fashionista caught my eye right away. It's hard not to notice her in that American flag kimono. In fact, a kimono is a boho essential and that's why she masters the style. If you're looking for the ultimate boho look for the final weeks of summer, whether it be for a music festival or just going out with friends, look no further.
In order to achieve a similar look to this Fashionista's, you are going to have to first find the perfect kimono. The Travelled History Statement Kimono from Free People is made from vintage textiles and each one is a one-of-a-kind. It is an excellent choice. If you're not so into the kimono, don't worry there are other options. This cardigan, which is also from Free People, is oversized and has beautiful embroidery. It can help you to achieve a similar look.
You may be wondering how to layer these essential boho pieces. A white, lace tank just like the Fashionista wears will be great. The Kimchi Blue Camille High-Neck Lace Tank Top from Urban Outfitters is a wonderful choice. For shorts, a classic pair of denim ones will serve you well.
The Fashioinista finishes off her boho look with a super cool pair of ankle boots. These Ajax Laceback Boots are pretty sweet as well. You can even wear them into fall, which is always a plus.
If you're like me, then you've been dying to try out that cool boho look. The good news is that it's not as hard as you may think. You just need the key boho essentials and then you will be rocking the style in no time!
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? "Don't be scared to try out a kimono. I would always see them all over Coachella and wanted to try one myself. They're very cool and in style."

shield vs 9c?
What are everyones thoughts on the shield in 9mm vs. A 9c for ccw? Im torn between the two and cant afford both :(
I have the 9C as my EDC now and love it. The shield is smaller so it's really about which one feels better in your hand. Have you picked up and fondled both?
I also carry the 9c but almost had the shield instead
Hahaha yeah ive "fondled" both of them plenty! The 9c fits better. I have large hands. Is the shield da only?
M&P's are striker fired.
Forgive my ignorance but that means no hammer so long trigger pull right?
Yep but with an Apex trigger it can be a lighter pull.
So a 9c will be da on the first pull and sa from then on???
No a striker fire pistol is different in that the firing pin is spring loaded. So when pulling back on the trigger you are essentially pulling the firing pin back and when it gets to a certain point the pin is released striking the primer and so on. So basically if you want to relate it to SA/DA then it's DAO but by true definition of SA/DA it's neither because there isn't a hammer.
I understand. Thank you
