California medical-marijuana advocates yesterday celebrated a verbal promise that federal raids on the state-law-abiding dispensaries have ended.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, in a news conference on another matter Wednesday in Washington, D.C., with Drug Enforcement Administration chief Michele Leonhart, said the raids aren't part of President Barack Obama's policy.
While campaigning, Obama said he wouldn't be "using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue," a stance reiterated earlier this month by White House spokesman Nick Shapiro.
"Today is a victory and a huge step forward," Steph Sherer, executive director of Oakland-based Americans for Safe Access, said yesterday. "I'm overjoyed to finally have a press conference with some great news." Federal law bans all use of marijuana, but some states, including California, permit medical use of the drug.

Two people who admitted to stealing more than $1,000 worth of merchandise from the Brimfield Walmart over several hours one day in July 2012 have been sentenced to probation.
Previous stories:
Brimfield Walmart 'shoppers' indicted for felony theft
Two Brimfield 'shoppers' plead guilty to felony thefts at Walmart from July 2012
The "ringleader" was sentenced to 30 days in the Portage County jail and banned from all Walmart stores in Portage County for five years.
Courtney A. Taylor, 23, of Canton, was sentenced to 30 days in the Portage County jail, she learned from Portage County Common Pleas Judge Laurie Pittman. The sentence was to begin this past Thursday, the judge said.
In addition, Taylor -- who pleaded guilty to theft, a fifth-degree felony, in May -- was ordered to serve five years on probation.
Supervision of Taylor's sentence could be transferred to her home county of Stark, Pittman said. She also was fined $350 plus court costs.
Pittman banned Taylor from all Portage County Walmarts for five years.
Attorney Nowar Katirji said the case was his client's first felony conviction, adding that she admitted to the incident when caught by Brimfield police and has been "very punctual" when showing up to court for hearings.
Taylor also told Pittman she has a full-time job at a cleaning company.
"Cleaning company? With your sticky fingers?" the judge asked. "I sure wouldn't want you cleaning my house."
Taylor explained that she cleans commercial properties.
Getaway driver Darshawn L. Clark, 29, of 841 Silver Meadows Blvd., Kent, pleaded guilty to complicity to theft, a fifth-degree felony, in May. The father of four told Pittman that "events got out of control" after he agreed to give a ride to Taylor and two other people -- Alex M. Popson, 22, of 4441 Sherman Road, Brimfield, and Joel S. Miller, 23, of 423 Woodard Ave., Kent.
Clark received five years probation, a $350 fine and was ordered to get a drug and alcohol evaluation and find a full-time job.
Brimfield police said they caught Taylor, Clark, Miller and Popson with 180 stolen items worth more than $1,078 on July 1, 2012. The stolen items included clothing and bedding, toys, bathroom cleaner, toiletries, meat and cheese.
Inside the store, Taylor, Miller and Popson were working from "shopping lists" of items they planned to steal for other people, Police Chief David Oliver said.
Miller pleaded guilty to complicity to theft, a fifth-degree felony, on July 15. Free on bond, he faces probation, local jail time or up to one year in prison at sentencing. Popson remains free on bond, pending trial on one count of complicity to theft, a fifth-degree felony, on Sept. 24.

A shortage of 40 train drivers has forced CityRail to cancel 10 peak-hour services today and replace one off-peak service with buses.
Tough new medical tests and training schedules are placing pressure on the network.
A spokeswoman for CityRail, Helen Willoughby, apologised to commuters last night, blaming the shortage on "the decision by a number of drivers not to work overtime".
She said it was "quite significant" to have to cancel due to a driver shortage. "It hasn't happened for quite a while. There is a sudden move by some drivers who are not prepared to work overtime . . . it makes it harder, it makes it a lot harder," she said.
"The shortfall also follows the need to make drivers available to undergo tough new medical testing and for training in the new vigilance emergency braking systems on trains in the wake of the Waterfall inquiry."
The peak morning cancellations affect trains to the city from Campbelltown, Hornsby and Liverpool, as well as from Waterfall to Bondi Junction and from Epping to North Sydney.
The peak afternoon trains cancelled are from Circular Quay to East Hills, Campbelltown and Penrith, as well as Central to Richmond and Bondi Junction to Waterfall.
Off-peak services between Olympic Park and Lidcombe will depart every 20 minutes instead of every 10, and services after 7pm on the Carlingford line will be replaced by buses.
According to RailCorp figures, 157 drivers are restricted from driving commuter trains.
Of these, 30 were on sick leave; 49 were listed as either long-term sick or injured; 24 were driving trains in safety projects; 29 were doing safety management training; 21 were rostered off on medical restrictions or because of safe-working breaches; and four were teaching other people to drive.
Medical testing was increased this week to 10 staff members a week, with a focus on drivers who were older or overweight.
Three hundred drivers will be tested by the end of April and 150 new CityRail recruits are being trained as drivers.

DETROIT - Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has stepped in and is recommending a partnership between the state and Wayne County to move the abandoned jail project out to Mound Road. There are no other options on the table.
Read more: What went wrong with failed Wayne County jail?
It was a total surprise visit by the governor's chief of staff and corrections director on Wednesday. It also was a surprise that the jail project is irretrievably so far off the rails the state would move into the process and the county would tear up its contract with its current contractors and continue leaving the project rusting and quiet for the foreseeable future.
Read more: Wayne County jail project under investigation
"Sometimes fiscal crises present us with opportunities and I view this as one of those opportunities. We need to seize it and embrace it and do some of the things that I think can be done in Wayne County and at the Mound facility," said Daniel H. Heyns, Michigan director of prisons.
The plan now is to try to sell the jail facility to one of three bidders. One of the bidders is Dan Gilbert's Rock Financial which wants to turn the area into an entertainment district. With state help, the Mound Road correctional facility would be remade into a 2,000-bed jail.
"It's kind of the ultimate word from the government, we're here to help, kind of theory we're doing here today. But the situation that we found ourselves in is it's a perfect opportunity -- regardless of the politics, regardless of personalities involved -- for the state, the county, the city, and frankly for the people that are in Wayne County and the state to benefit by an agreement," said Dennis Munchmore, Snyder's chief of staff.

Justin Bieber, 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town' – Song Review
Justin Bieber tosses off a loyal cover of the Christmas classic 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town' on 'Under the Mistletoe,' but he injects the fun song with a little funk. It's a bouncy, upbeat holiday anthem and the teen Bieberfies it!
The Biebs' voice isn't as high as it was when he was 15 and 16 and issued 'My World' and 'My World 2.0.' That was just two years ago, but my, how things have changed! As the singer's own manager recently said to Billboard, the singer's musical "balls have dropped" and he's evolving into more of a man as he sings. He also harmonizes perfectly with a choir of people singing under him.
That said, this version of the holiday favorite is one that his younger fans of both genders will love
to sing along to with while ripping the wrapping paper off of presents or while they are baking cookies with mom to leave for Santa.
The Biebs does offer a little improvisational moment during the song. He drops a spoken word phrase into the mix, saying, "So it's that time of year, where you let all your problems go, and you know, you just shake it, shake it, baby!" He really is turning into an R&B singer as he sheds a little of his teen idol vocal style.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/2/2014 (1289 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitobans should expect to see $213 million spent over the next five years on improving the Trans-Canada Highway west of Winnipeg to the Saskatchewan boundary.
Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton said today the work is intended to bring the national route up to U.S. interstate standards and includes fully paved shoulders, rumble strips, resurfacing, intersection improvements and four new bridges.
Ashton said Ottawa is expected to match provincial funding under the new Building Canada Fund.
He added projects to be completed by 2020 would not be possible without new revenue from the government's raising of the PST by one point to eight per cent.
He also said when completed officials will determine whether it's safe enough to raise the speed limit to 110 km/h from 100 km/h.
Projects, expected to begin this summer, include:
- 14.8 kilometres of paving of the westbound lanes including paving shoulders and adding rumble strips from east of the east junction of PTH 1A to PTH 13;
- 7 km of paving of the eastbound lanes including shoulders from 1.4 km west of PTH 16 to 7.1 km east of PTH 16;
- 27.4 km of microsurfacing from PR 351 to PTH 34 (microsurfacing is a pavement preservation technique that uses a thin asphalt mixture applied to an existing paved surface);
- 5 km of microsurfacing of the eastbound lanes from the east junction of PTH 10 to 5 km east of the east junction of PTH 10;
- 6.2 km of microsurfacing of the eastbound lanes from 0.1 km west of PR 270 to the west junction of PTH 10;
- 16.1 km of high-performance chip seals of the eastbound lanes from 13.2 km east of PTH 41 to PTH 83 with five two-km tests sites (chip seals are a pavement preservation treatment where oil and crushed gravel are applied to an existing pavement); and
- 21.9 km of paving of the westbound lanes from 1.6 km west of the east junction of PR 254 to PR 678 (King Street in Virden).
A map of Trans-Canada Highway projects is available here.

On February 15 and 16, 2012, Fiberart For A Cause (FFAC) returns for its seventh year of raising funds for the American Cancer Society with a new online event Foto/Fiber 2012.
Our own Sarah Ann Smith is one of the BONUS Fiber Surprise donors. (Learn what that means and more in our December posting on this special event!) "I'm so excited to once again support Virginia Spiegel and the Fiberart For A Cause team as they fundraise for the American Cancer Society," says Sarah Ann. "Like many, I have personal reasons for supporting this effort. My father survived throat cancer, but many others have not been so fortunate. I lost a half-brother to lung cancer, and my dear friend Linda to liver cancer. I've known too many quilters who have survived breast cancer."
Sarah Ann's BONUS contribution includes this 3-D fabric postcard (the shutters are dimensional):
and about one yard of her hand-dyed fabric:
" I hope you will join me and 35 other fiber artists to help us meet our goal of raising $7000 to add to the $215,000 we have already donated to the ACS," says Sarah Ann.
Other Postmark'd Art members who are supporting this event with contributions include Jane Davila, Karen Musgrave, and Sue Reno. Everything you need to know to participate in this on-line event is here: Foto/Fiber 2012.

Most of us dont get to see our hard-earned tax dollars at work, and when we do, it sometimes irks us.
Rarely do we see tangible good come from our taxes like we see from the Continuous Street Improvement Plan in the City of Cambridge.
Approved by voters in May 2002, the additional income tax that pays for the street program is 3/10ths of one percent.
After voters approved the measure, the city floated $300,000 in bonds so street improvements could begin as quickly as possible. Actual collection of the tax began Jan. 1 this year.
The money is earmarked for fixing all 62 miles of city streets, excluding alleys. City engineer Paul Sherry told City Council this week that another half-dozen miles of roadway are expected to be resurfaced this year, and some of the work already is under way.
Last year, according to Sherry, 4.5 miles were paved and with completion of this years projects, about a fifth of the citys roadways will have been fixed.
After the bonds used the jump start the program are paid off, the city expects to repair as many as 10 miles of roadway a year, Sherry told council.
The day after voters signed off on the plan last year, Mayor Sam Salupo said, Its going to be exciting, what takes place here in the next couple of years.
Were not so sure street paving qualifies as exciting, but it sure is nice to drive on.


text: Culture 25 January 2010 Words into images Royal Academy show reveals a thoughtful and reflective Vincent Van Gogh. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Margaret Drabble wrote a couple of weeks ago in the NS about Van Gogh's letters, ahead of "The Real Van Gogh: the Artist and his Letters", a major exhibition just opened at the Royal Academy in London. Here, our art blogger Anna Maria Di Brina looks more closely at the relationship between that correspondence and the paintings on display at the RA. More than 35 original letters, mostly addressed to Vincent Van Gogh's brother Theo, are on display in this exhibition, alongside 65 paintings and 35 drawings. Together, they offer a unique view of the artist's creativity and inner world. "He was not the mad, tormented genius we used to think," says Ann Dumas, curator of the exhibition. "He was instead a thoughtful, reflective, highly educated man, who thought very carefully about the aim of his work. The letters give a much more rounded view of him than the clichéd image we have." A review of the show in the Independent takes it for granted that the juxtaposition of words and images is risky, as if the viewer were being told how to experience the paintings. Van Gogh's letters, devotedly preserved by Theo's widow, are certainly full of detailed descriptions of his pictures and his thinking about them. However, instead of lessening the ability of the paintings to speak for themselves, words and colours seem to act in harmony, offering an extraordinary insight into Van Gogh's work. The letters get us to focus our attention on details that were important to the artist, with the result that we get what Ann Dumas describes as a "direct line from his mind into understanding the paintings". Take The Pollard Willow, for example. Van Gogh's description of "a sky in which the clouds are racing, grey with an occasional gleaming white edge, and a depth of blue where the clouds tear apart for a moment", far from telling us what to see, instead offers poetic clues that enhance our pleasure in the watercolour. When, in another letter, Van Gogh points out to Theo the "very red face" in the Portrait of a Peasant Girl in a Straw Hat, something similar occurs. These remarks help us to concentrate on the sun's reflection caressing the overheated cheeks of the seated young woman. Vision of Arles "A meadow full of very yellow buttercups, a ditch with iris plants with green leaves, with purple flowers . . . A little town surrounded by countryside entirely covered in yellow and purple flowers. That would really be a Japanese dream," writes Vincent to Theo, describing his recently painted View of Arles with Irises in the Foreground. The artist's enchantment with nature is contagious. Watching the oil painting hanging beside these lines, it is impossible not to imagine Vincent standing in an open field, the sun burning his face, enjoying the colourful view. It's almost as if we are seeing things through the painter's own eyes. It is interesting to notice how words and sketches are juxtaposed and intermingled in the letters. The mixture highlights the fever and excitement of self-expression and creation (something one sees elsewhere, in Frida Kahlo's visual diaries, for example). The same hand writes and draws. Lines from the drawings occasionally leak out into the text. Likewise, the text, particularly when the artist is short of paper, continues on the backs of drawings. At times, the words end up becoming images themselves -- the word "joune" (yellow), for instance, handwritten on a sketch of a field of buttercups in the letter accompanying View of Arles. Even though Van Gogh's work would resonate without any textual accompaniment, his words nonetheless open new perspectives on its meaning. But all the same, there's no chance of the letters ever getting in the way of the paintings. As he wrote in one of his last letters to Theo, "These canvases will tell you what I can't say in words." › Gordon Brown's press conference -- live blog Subscribe from just £1 per issue More Related articles From hippies to Silicon Valley: the birth of California design lies in Sixties counterculture Hokusai beneath the wave: meet the real artist behind the world's most plagiarised image Soul of a Nation: a revelatory exhibition telling the story of black art Subscription offer 12 issues for £12 + FREE book LEARN MORE Close This week's magazine

Upcoming events July 24 - Aug. 23
sunday, July 24
The "Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terazín" will be broadcast on Classical Minnesota Public Radio KCRB 88.5 FM from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, July 24.
The broadcast will feature a performance recorded on May 1 in Bemidji under the direction of creator and conductor Murry Sidlin. MPR's Michael Barone will host the two-hour broadcast which includes an interview with Sidlin.
"The Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terazín" tells the true story of Rafael Schaëchter, a composer and pianist, who used a smuggled score to teach Verdi's Requiem Mass to fellow Jewish prisoners in the Terezín Concentration Camp.
Between October 1943 and June 1944, Verdi's "Requiem" was performed 16 times at Terezín by the prisoner choir - in front of other prisoners, before their Nazi guards, and once to a Red Cross delegation. Over that time period Schaëchter was forced to reconstitute the choir three times as performers were taken away to their deaths at Auschwitz.
The performances came to symbolize resistance and defiance; a means of answering the worst of human cruelty with the best of human spirit. "Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín" is powerful, dramatic, and inspirational and leaves its audiences with a strong message of hope.
The broadcast is made possible in part by funding from the Legacy Amendment's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Lexile measures are a great way to find great books for a reader, but they can help teachers, librarians and parents do so much more.
Teachers use Lexile measures to customize their instruction to their students. Using Lexile measures, educators connect students with instructional resources that match their individual reading ability. When it comes to reading material, tens of thousands of fiction and nonfiction books, tens of millions of articles and hundreds of Web sites have Lexile measures, and these numbers grow every day. Teachers can target and differentiate instruction with Lexile measures.
Librarians use Lexile measures to support classroom teachers and enhance instruction, connect readers with books they not only can read but will want to read, and assist parents in knowing how best to support their young learners. Some librarians even arrange their collections to suit the ability levels and ranges of their patrons, so readers can know how a book relates to their reading ability before they pull it off the shelf.
Parents use Lexile measures to help their children with homework and school reading, and to guide their children in picking leisure reading. A child's Lexile range is like a reading safety zone. When parents know their child's Lexile measure, they know how to challenge independent readers and help struggling readers—without themselves having to read every book in the library.

Not all that long ago, $30.00 could buy a 1GB SD card. Now you can get 16GB for that price. Worthwhile if you record HD movies or take high resolution photos. No setup necessary--memory card arrived formatted. Shipping was quick. Very satisfied with my purchase.

On May 1, 1:36 pm, Matthew Flatt <mfl... at cs.utah.edu> wrote: > The current version prints "metalevel 2" only once. I see, so my understanding was correct and I have just encountered a passing-by implementation detail. BTW, I have another question. In future Adventures I want to explain the difference between systems with implicit phasing (like Ikarus) and systems with explicit phasing (like PLT and Larceny). The difference - as you know better than me - is that systems like PLT andLarceny can import names into a specific phase, whereas Ikarus necessarily imports the names into all phases. In principle Larceny and PLT are more powerful since they give you more control; in practice however I am having trouble in finding real life use cases where to import names into a specific phase only is necessary. For instance, I wrote this, but it seems to me a pretty weak use case: """ Suppose for instance you are a teacher, and you want to force your students to write their macros using only a functional subset of Scheme. You could then import at compile time all R6RS procedures except the nonfunctional ones (like ``set!``) while importing at runtime the whole of R6RS. """ Do you have more practical use case to suggest? There is yet another thing that troubles me. The R6RS document forbids the same name to be used with different bindings in different phases. Therefore, if I import the name 'x' at expand time (just to make an example) I am basically reserving the name 'x' for all phases, since I cannot reuse 'x' in other phases, unless it has the same binding as the first 'x'. In other words, the namespaces in the different phases are not really separated, and thus I could as well import the name 'x' in all phases, since I cannot re-use it with another meaning anyway. Do you have any thoughts on the subject? I am sure I am missing something. Michele Simionato

text: By David StermanNEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's one of the hottest micro-cap stocks of the last three months? I'll give you a clue: it's a mining company that's stock tripled in value since mid-August. But instead of mining gold, silver or platinum, this company digs something else entirely different out of the earth. If you guessed lithium, it's a good guess, but you'd be wrong. The company in question, Uranium Resources ( URRE), actually mines uranium, as you might guess. Uranium Resources' surging shares have company. Shares of Uranerz Energy ( URZ) and UR Energy ( URG) have roughly doubled, while most other uranium plays have also tacked on strong gains in recent months. The surging stocks are the result of rising prices for uranium on the spot market. In late October, the radioactive metal tacked on a 10% gain in just one week to around $52 per pound. The question now is whether the rally can continue, or is a pullback the next move? To understand the road ahead, you need to look back. Uranium slumped to a multi-year low of $40 per pound in June 2010. The key culprit for weak prices: Kazakhstan, which single-handedly altered the supply/demand equation for uranium by boosting production from 19 million pounds in 2008 to estimates of more than 40 million pounds this year. Much of that Kazakh production went straight to China, which has been stockpiling uranium in anticipation of a massive build out of its nuclear power sector, and the rest went to the open market, pushing supply ahead of demand. China also explains why prices are rising now. The China-Kazakh long-term supply deal is winding down, and China has allegedly returned to the open market to buy even more uranium. Yet two factors will conspire for uranium prices to hit a ceiling in the near-term. First, China is building a backlog for future needs and is unlikely to pay much higher prices if it can simply wait for the supply/demand equation to change. Industry analysts think that's about to happen. Many high-cost mines were shuttered when uranium fell to $40 a pound, but would be brought back on line as uranium moves toward $60 a pound. At this point, with few-near-term catalysts, uranium prices could be hit by profit-taking, likely creating a better entry point for near-term gains. You can track uranium spot prices at this web site.

THE U.S. Brig Niagara is at rest Wednesday near Devil's Island, off the Bayfield Peninsula in Lake Superior's Apostle Islands, according to photographer Gary Jackson, of Ironwood. The ship patrolled Lake Erie during the War of 1812 before it was sunk, raised and restored twice, last in 1988. The ship was headed west to be part of Duluth's Tall Ships Festival, which runs through Monday.

Rain fails to dampen European YR jumping champs
Medals were hard-earned at the FEI European Jumping Championships for Children, Juniors and Young Riders 2014 at Arezzo Equestrian Centre in Italy where it wasn't just the fences that tested competitors.
A tremendous rain-storm seriously disrupted the schedule last Thursday, resulting in major flooding and alterations to the programme of events and the poor weather continued over the following days. However both the organisers and athletes held their nerve to ensure a tremendous conclusion by Sunday afternoon.
There were 91 horse-and-rider combinations battling for the individual honours and 56 teams in action. A total of 25 countries were represented including Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Poland Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and Turkey.
Young Riders Team
The first team gold medals were awarded to the Young Riders from Germany who pipped the Norwegian silver medallists by just a single fault while the host nation of Italy claimed the bronze.
As always, many of the competitors carried familiar surnames as they are sons and daughters of famous senior riders, and Maurice Tebbel, son of Rene Tebbel, produced one of two German clears in the opening round of the Young Riders team event with his bay gelding Cooper. However it was Angelina Herroder and her 11-year-old bay mare ABC Trixi who provided the most solid German score when double-clear. Tebbel faulted once in the second round, Niklas Krieg and Carelia collected a total of eight faults and Laura Klaphake and Nifrane de Kreisker followed a single first-round error with a zero at their second attempt to leave them on a final team tally of eight.
It was the single first-round time-fault picked up by Norwegian pathfinders Pal Flam and Skjerabergs Larkin that pinned Norway into silver medal position. The pair were awarded five faults on their first tour of the track, so when Maren Smedhaug and Caleandro picked up 20 for the discard score then the single mistake by Solveig Newermann and Wodka had to be taken into account to leave them on a total of nine faults after Benedikte Endresen and Super Sox went clear. Benedikte is daughter of Norwegian senior team-member Stein Endresen and was foot-perfect again in the second round when both Flam and Newermann also kept a clean sheet. But their first-round total still left the Norwegians a single penalty point behind the German champions.
It was neck-and-neck between the Norwegians and their Italian hosts at the halfway stage with both carrying nine faults into round two, but former Italian National Champion, Filippo Marco Bologni who is son of Italian veteran Arnaldo Bologni, produced the discard scores of 12 and 13 in each round, so the single mistake made by Francesca Ciriesi and Que Sera second time out had to be added to clears from both Matilde Giorgia Bianchi and Una Bella HS and Nicolo Vincenzo Callerio with Darius for a final total of 13 faults.
The three-man team from Spain led the way at the end of the first round on a zero score, but single errors from both Gonzalo Anon Suarez (Qlamp d'Ivraie) and Bartolome Mayol Parera (Macaco) had to be added to the eight picked by Jose Fumero Hernandez (Davinia R) for a fourth-place finish at the end of the day.
German Chef d'Equipe, Markus Merschformann, said he was "in seventh heaven!" after his team's gold-medal-winning performance. He was particularly pleased because this was his first time to act as a team manager and it was a winning one. His team showed their deep appreciation for all his support and guidance by throwing him into the lake in the Arena Boccaccio after the prize-giving, so Herr Merschformann arrived into the post-competition press conference holding his shoes and wet from head to toe.
Young Riders Individual
It was Lisa Nooren, daughter of former Dutch star Henk Nooren who now manages the French Jumping team, who led the way with Flying Saucer Das Umburanas after the first Young Rider's Individual competition, but by the end of the Team competition Germany held the reins with Herroder at the top of the leaderboard, Luthi in second and Klaphake in third.
However it was Sweden's Irma Karlsson who won through when adding just four faults from the team event to finish on a total of 5.24 for the gold. Karlsson and her 10-year-old grey Cornet, by the great stallion Cornet Obolensky, never put a foot wrong over the two Individual Final rounds to climb up from sixth to stand on the top step of the podium.
Germany's Kaya Luthi added just five faults to her scoreline in the second round of the Individual Final on Sunday to take the silver ahead of Klaphake in bronze while Benedikte Endresen impressed all the way through to finish just off the podium in fourth place on the Individual rankings.
Junior Team
The British came out on top in the Junior Team Championship, but not without a powerful challenge from the Dutch who pushed them to the very end. These team medals were decided in a two-way jump-off, with Germany already secure in bronze medal position.
Clears from both Jake Saywell (Grand Cru van Paemel) and Jessica Mendoza (Spirit T) ensured that only the four picked up by Millie Allen (Cantino) had to be lodged to the British account in the first round when Christie Pritchard's 16 with Waldemar was the drop score. The Dutch kept pace with zero scores from both Kim Bril (Mallorca) and Jens van Grunsven (Whisper) whose sister, Demi van Grunsven (San Seral) produced the discard score of nine first time out while Kim Hoogenraat (Wishkarla) posted just four faults. Jens and Demi are nephew and niece of Dutch Dressage superstar Anky van Grunsven, so the competition gene is in their DNA.
And when both sides produced three clears in round two it came down to a jump-off for the gold, with the British emerging to reign supreme. Germany's Theesa Ripke (Calmado), Laura Strehmel (DSP Lucie), Leonie Krieg (Champerlo) and Telke Carstensen (Cara Mia) racked up just eight faults for the bronze.
Junior Individual
Norway's Amalie Hegre (Remedy) led the way into the Junior Individual Final with Switzerland's Estelle Wettstein (Bonita) next in line and Poland's Andrzej Oplatek (El Camp) in third. However eight faults in the first round of the Final competition put paid to Oplatek's chances while Wettstein's single mistake in the first round cost her a medal placing.
Mendoza's final-day double-clear moved her up from overnight sixth into Individual bronze medal spot behind Belgium's Gilles Thomas who had been lying fifth but final ended up in silver medal spot with his 10-year-old mare Conaro.
Hegre meanwhile steered her 11-year-old mare Remedy into gold medal position in fine style without touching a pole.
Children's Team
The Children's Team title went to Austria with Belgium taking silver, but it took another jump-off to settle the destination of the bronze medals in this category.
The Austrian victory was quite clear-cut, as Jessica Vonach (Withny), Stella Egger (Candyman) and Dominik Juffinger (Copido) all jumped clear for a zero score while Sebastian Gorton-Hulgerth (Estoril) collected a total of 28 faults. The Belgians came a close second with just single time faults from Emilie Conter (Fragil van t Paradijs) and Alexander Housen (Flicka) taken into account when Thibault Philippaerts (Lajolie 3) left just one pole on the floor and Maartje Verberckmoes (Cous Cous) left all the timber in place.
Germany and France battled it out for bronze when each racked up a four-fault total, and when the Germans once again kept a clean sheet while France added four faults the latter missed out on the team podium.
Children's Individual
Great Britain's Robert Murphy rode his last two rounds masterfully to take Children's Individual gold at only his second European Championships. With grit and determination he guided his lively 11-year-old, Del Fuego, and in the prizegiving the hugely popular 13-year-old got a big cheer after struggling to climb onto the top step of the winner's podium. Supported by a big crowd of spectators the young champion, who has been riding since the age of three, cleared the course in 46.66 seconds to clinch victory in the last round. And following the traditional dunking in the water jump, he presented an impressively professional front at the post-competition press conference during which he thanked all of his family, British Chef d'Equipe Claire Whitaker, and his groom, Jo, who looks after his horse so well.
Children's Individual silver medallist, Italy's Lorenzo Sciacca, also got great support from the crowd. The 14-year old from Sicily came very close to the gold medal but he picked up five penalties in 48.61 seconds in the jump-off to have to settle for the second step on the podium and breaking his own record of 22 rounds of jumping without a pole down this season.
Bronze went to the fast French rider Elisa Mellec riding Renarde Rumel who completed the jump-off with two poles on the floor in 41.80 seconds.
FEI Technical Delegate, Santiago Varela Ullcastres, described these Championships as "excellent, especially since there has been great flexibility on the part of the Organising Committee to be able to run everything to a high standard despite the frequent interruptions caused by the torrential rain!"
Course designer, Elio Travagliati who is a student of Uliano Vezzani, enjoyed his Championships debut. "I am very happy, and I have received congratulations from the Ground Jury and the FEI Technical Delegate," he said. "I designed the courses in order to not only test the strength and the technical ability of the horses, but also the technical ability of the riders" he explained, while Ground Jury President, Bruno Laubscher, declared that the Championship Organising Committee "have given their all, considering that they have hosted three European Championships in one year!"

Rose centerpieces work well for special occasions such as weddings or for everyday use. Centerpieces with floating roses add a special touch and can be done with any color rose including red. Several methods can be used to float roses in a water-filled centerpiece. Choose roses that are just starting to open so they are fresh but the petals are wide enough to float on the water. Use a clear glass bowl or other container to create the centerpieces. Accent centerpieces with rocks or shells in the bottom or choose a wide bowl and place several roses and floating candles inside.
Things You'll Need
- Glass bowl
- Sharp knife
- Decorative rocks
- Clear water crystals
Cut the stem of the red rose with a sharp knife so it is 1 inch long. Cut it at an angle to allow the rose to draw water up the stem. Don't cut the entire stem off. Fill the glass bowl half full of water and set the rose in the center. This method works for roses that are open slightly because they float better than tight buds.
Fill a rose bowl half full of water and lay decorative stones on the bottom. Cut the stem of the rose so it is long enough to reach the stones in the bottom. Set the rose in the water and use the stones to support the rose's stem and keep it upright in the water. This method works well for rose buds that are tightly closed and won't float upright.
Pour water over water crystals and let the crystals absorb as much water as possible. Drain off any excess water. Set the roses in the now gelatinous crystals so they give the appearance of floating in water. This method works well with roses that refuse to float. It is also easier to control where the roses sit.

Southwark Council has approved the first phase of Foster + Partners masterplan for IWM's (Imperial War Museums') flagship branch in London.
The strategic masterplan is designed to meet the museum's long-term needs. By bringing clarity to the building's plan, allowing intuitive circulation and arranging the exhibition chronologically by floor, the design optimises the exhibition spaces and will transform the experience for visitors. The initial phase is focused on reconfiguring the building's central hall, together with creating a new series of galleries to commemorate the centenary of the First World War in 2014. The blind brick arches along the western facade will be reopened, forging new connections between the building and Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park and allowing the museum café to extend outside.
Work on the first phase of the project is planned to begin at the end of the year and the museum will close temporarily in 2013. Future phases include proposals for a new entrance, scooped out of the existing forecourt, and major new exhibition spaces.
Diane Lees, Director-General, IWM:
"We are delighted that the London Borough of Southwark have granted planning permission for this unique project to reinvigorate and transform IWM London in time for the Centenary of the First World War, a landmark event for Britain and the world. IWM was founded during the First World War as a lasting memorial to all those who played their part in the conflict. Our brand new galleries will allow us to continue this work in the twenty-first century, helping to keep the history and personal recollections of the war alive for future generations."
Michael Jones, Partner at Foster + Partners:
"We are delighted that Southwark Council gave unanimous approval to the first phase of our masterplan. The design will allow IWM to display its collection more effectively by bringing clarity to the existing buildings, enlarging the galleries and offering visitors a better understanding of the Museum and its collection."

While not an earth-shattering revelation, it is reassuring that physical exercise doesn't CAUSE stroke. Let's thank the British Heart Institute and the NIH for funding the efforts of a fellowship in public health in this research into the obvious. Perhaps a study to find the best ways to actually motivate older men to walk 1-3 hours a day would be money better spent. I am hypothesizing that coupons for sildenafil would generate a positive result...Pfizer, are you listening?.
I can tell you right now why my sweetie isn't walking an hour a day--he has to work full time. He's 67 and I'm 65. We get up most days at 5:30 am precisely so we can walk an average of two hilly miles. This means we fall asleep around 8:30 pm. We are, quite literally, out of step with our culture..
