Cape Town - The ANC has made a submission to amend a controversial clause around demographics in draft employment equity (EE) regulations, the party's provincial leader Marius Fransman said on Thursday.
"We have actually made a submission not to spike hatred between communities. We've made a submission to correct that earlier clause, and that is what responsible leadership is," he told reporters in Cape Town.
"We've suggested that that clause can go nowhere because that clause will not stand the test of time. What we suggested is that it must be a balance between national and provincial (demographics)."
The draft clause proposes that companies who employ more than 150 people would have to use national demographics for top and senior management, and those who were professionally qualified.
The labour department published the EE regulations for public comment in February.
At the time, the department said the regulations provided practical guidelines on how to implement EE law in the workplace.
Western Cape premier Helen Zille made it clear earlier this month that her government would oppose the regulations because they amounted to "race-based social engineering" and would entrench racial divisions rather than help overcome apartheid's legacy.
Addressing staff in a internal letter, she said she had consulted her lawyer, and was of the opinion that the regulations and sections of the principal act were unconstitutional.
She said she had submitted her comments to Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant, making it clear the province was committed to "rational" EE for all those disadvantaged by apartheid.
"But 1/8we 3/8 will not introduce quotas, nor accept the absurd and unconstitutional regulations as currently promulgated," she stated in the internal letter.
The province's top three levels of management and professionals would have a limit of nine percent of coloured people, even where they comprised almost 50 percent of people in the province, she said.
"This would mean we are not able to promote or appoint people in this "racial category" to senior management positions for at least 15 years."
On Thursday, Cosatu provincial secretary Tony Ehrenreich was quoted as saying that he would ask the ANC to fire more than half of the white senior civil servants if the ANC won the province in May 7 general elections.
"Their employment would have to be terminated Ä and within a year," the Cape Argus quoted the Congress of SA Trade Unions official as saying.
"They'll have to go and start their own businesses. They are better placed to start their own businesses because they have both the networks and the historical infrastructure to do this."
In the report, he claimed senior management in the provincial government was made up of at least 57 percent white people, while they only made up 16 percent of the population.
In response, Zille said on Thursday that Ehrenreich's statistics were "entirely wrong, as usual".
"Currently, 62 percent of senior management in the Western Cape government is, in the terminology of the EE Act, coloured, African and Indian and comprises 75 percent individuals from all designated groups," she said.
"He will not succeed in his attempt to drive a wedge between white people on the one hand, and coloured, Indian and black people on the other."
The Western Cape would continue to pursue EE without quotas and combine equity with excellence, the only approach that worked, she said.

Effective Bream fly
This weekend I plan on going to my girlfriend's parent's farm pond and fishing for some bluegills/perch/bream
I live in Texas, its HOT, if that matters.
In any case, i want to tie up some flies and i was looking for some suggestions on what type of flies are most effective to catch these.
What colors and what size hooks are best suited for bream?
Also, are minnow imitations or woolyboogers any good?
Re: Effective Bream fly
foam hopper patterns are good in the evening. Bright gaudy stuff tends to draw a lot of attention to.
Re: Effective Bream fly
I've always had good luck on farm ponds with hair beetles, letort hoppers, ant patterns, and almost any 18-24ish dry fly you want to cast. They're really not too picky.
Re: Effective Bream fly
Poppers and buggers work well, but these are tops for me.
Size 12 200r type hook, marabou fiber tip tail, body/abdomen on marabou fibers tied in by the tip, twisted, and wrapped up to the thorax. Rib is a few twisted strands of midge flash. Bead chain eyes, superbright dubbed head/thorax. Shellback is the marabou fibers and flash.
Re: Effective Bream fly
Grasshopper and wooly bugers kill them in my pond. Also they will hit pretty much anything dries, nymphs, streamers, oh and a caterpiller or wooly worm will kill them also.
Re: Effective Bream fly
Not that I never do it myself, but you'll find that when using a fly smaller than a #12, bluegill tend to really suck them down making a painless (live) release difficult.
I carry smaller 'reject' trout flies, but when I tie flies just for pan fish, it's mostly 10s and 12s
Re: Effective Bream fly
Foam beetles on size 10/12 hooks killers for me in black, and yellow. The bonus is that these are pretty durable flies, I catch 100's of gills on foam beetles compared to 20 or less on natural fiber flies.
Throw some bass poppers out there as catching Largemouth on the fly is awesome!

Esher flanker Ben Pritchard has insisted he is taking a step back to make a step forward at Molesey Road this season, writes Muhammed Sher.
The 19-year-old signed a one-year deal with head coach Ollie Smith's men this summer, completing a move from Premiership outfit London Irish's vaunted academy set-up.
The former St Paul's student played regularly in the Exiles' A League team last season as well as playing for Esher's second string in friendlies with Georgia and the Royal Navy.
And Pritchard has not given up on life back in the top flight.
"I very much enjoyed my time at Irish and I learned so much in such a short space of time," he said.
"Playing for the A side was a step-up from age-grade rugby and it helped me to develop as a player. I'm now at a stage, though, where I need to be playing on a regular basis and that is what I am
hoping I'll be able to do at Esher.
"I'm still only 19, so have plenty of time to further grow and mature as a rugby player but this year is very important in that I have to show what I can do and hope it gets me back up the
Smith said: "Ben is a talented young man who showed what he's all about in the two games he played for us last season.
"He's the sort of guy who will put his head in places where others won't and is a real nuisance.
"We want to be a team that can play in all conditions against all types of opposition so having choices like we do is going to stand us in good stead."
Former Harlequins youngster James Inglis, a regular for Esher last year, has also committed for the season.
The second-row has signed on a season-long contract.

FOR the second week of the Clean and Lean Summer Body Plan, James has created a sumptuous meal plan that will fill you up and help trim you down.
Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients in this meal plan, it is only a guide.
Get creative and have fun while making a delicious clean and lean dish.
Stick to the principles of cutting out the C.R.A.P. (caffeine, refined sugars, alcohol, processed foods), and you will feel amazing. To find other recipes, go to www.bodyism.com.
And make sure you check out this week's workout plan.
Poached eggs with broccoli, rocket, grilled tomato and parmesan
Serves 4
2 tomatoes, halved
1 broccoli, cut into florets
4 fresh organic eggs
Parmesan, for sprinkling
Rocket, to serve
1. Heat the grill to high and place the tomatoes under it for a few minutes until coloured.
2. While the tomatoes are cooking. Steam the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until just tender, then set aside.
3. Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil. Stir the water rapidly to create a whirlpool and crack the first egg into the centre: the swirling water should bring the eggs together. Repeat with the remaining eggs (3-4 minutes is sufficient cooking time).
4. Serve each egg with the broccoli and grilled tomato. Grate a little parmesan over the top and scatter rocket over the plate.
Grilled chicken breasts with spicy salsa and spinach and avocado salad
Serves 4
4 skinless organic chicken breasts 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice 60ml olive oil
1⁄2 teaspoon chilli flakes
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
For the salsa
1⁄2 red onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 large clove of garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons deseeded and finely sliced jalapeňo pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
200g baby spinach leaves
1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 First make the salsa. In a bowl, mix together the onion, tomato, lime juice, garlic, jalapeňo pepper, cumin and salt. Let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour to allow the flavours to mingle.
2 In a shallow dish, mix together the lime juice, olive oil, chilli flakes and pepper. Dip the chicken in the mixture until well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
3 Put the chicken on a baking tray and place under a preheated grill, 20cm from the heat. Grill for about 8 minutes on each side, or until a fork can be inserted in the chicken with ease and the juices run clear, not pink.
4 Divide the spinach leaves and avocado slices between 4 plates. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle over the salad. Place the chicken on top, spoon over the salsa, garnish with chopped coriander and serve immediately.
5 Wash the spinach well. Drain and chop, then squeeze out the excess water. Add the spring onions, lemon juice, oil and pepper.
Salmon en papillote with ginger & lime
Serves 4
5cm piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic 4 spring onions, finely sliced
1 red chilli, finely sliced
4 salmon fillets
Juice of 1 lime
1 lime, thinly sliced
4 sheets of baking paper, each large enough to fold over the salmon and form a parcel
1 Preheat the oven to 200°C. 2 Mix the ginger, garlic, spring onions and chilli together
in a bowl.
3 Place each piece of salmon in the centre of a sheet of baking paper, and top with a quarter of the ginger mixture. Sprinkle each fillet with lime juice and then top with a few slices of lime.
4 Fold the paper over each fillet and tuck the edges in to form a parcel.
5 Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake for around 12 minutes.
And here's this week's meal plan.
Breakfast 2 poached eggs with smoked salmon w/ avocado & lemon
Lunch Chicken & broccoli stir-fry
Dinner Grilled rib eye steak w/ sweet potato mash & chilli broccoli

I disagree. There is a need for tags not only for languages that have
established literature. Legitimate need extends even to languages that are
unwritten. Linguists and anthropologists have such needs, but so do
development agencies and government. I know, for instance, that the need
extends to UNESCO and at least several agencies in the US government; I'm
sure the same is true for many other agencies in many other governments.
Note, too, that such agencies are looking specifically in standardised
tags. Governments generally will apply across-the-board requirements that
systems be based on standards.

Dialects are another issue, but as for languages, there shouldn't be an
arbitrary distinction between spoken-only and spoken-and-written. That
serves no purpose.

Tibetan is a specific language (Ethnologue code TIC). There are a number of
Bodhic languages (Ethnologue 13th edn lists 134), and there may be a
considerable amount of Tibetan bilingualism among these communities, but
that does *not* mean that there is only a need for a tag for Tibetan. The
individual Bodhic languages are important, and have needs for their own
tags. Gurung and Tsangla and many others have literature, or are starting
to develop literature, and people do want to store and process information
about all of these languages, even those that don't yet (or may never) have
their own literature.
>Putting it simply we need one code "bo" for the written language but many

That is wrong. There is not just one written language. The assumptions here
reflect an incorrect understanding of the sociolinguistic situation.

First, by the definitions assumed in the Ethnologue, they are all
considered to be distinct languages; they would be candidates for separate
literacy and literature development (if currently spoken-only), and if
literature were to be developed, then they would need to be distinguished
for IT-processing purposes such as spell-checking.
Secondly, as already pointed out, the spoken-only vs. spoken-and-written
distinction is arbitrary, and doesn't correspond to what users are needing
in the way of language tags.
Thirdly, there are a large number of users looking for a complete set of
tags. This includes people in the specialised fields of linguistics and
anthropology, but it also includes governments, development organisations,
and many businesses in the IT industry.

As Indian cinema celebrates its century, director Nikhil Advani says this is the most exciting time for film industry and filmmakers as they are experimenting and getting creative freedom thanks to flexible audiences.
Earlier, filmmakers were apprehensive about trying out new themes because audiences were inflexible, but today's movie buffs are open to new subjects spelling a boom time for creative minds.
"I would not change from where I am for Rs.100 crore (movies). It's the most exciting time for the industry," said the 42-year-old who started as an assistant director in Sudhir Mishra's "Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin" (1996).
"I have been in the industry for 20 years and in the 20 years, everyday I used to think there will be a day when people will start understanding what we want to do, and the cinema will change. But we forgot that audiences have always accepted great and different films. The last two and a half years have only proved that.
"The kind of films that have been made only proves that every time you give something different to the audiences, they will accept it with open arms."
The box-office successes of women-centric thriller "Kahaani", dark comedy "Peepli Live" and sperm-donation-based comedy "Vicky Donor" have proved that viewers are accepting change.
"I am very happy that the studios are today going to the directors who they wouldn't even look at in normal circumstances. It's the best time to make films.
"I want to thank the audiences and say that the more you accept it, the more we will give you different stuff, the more we will keep thinking differently and boldly," Advani added.
Advani's first full-fledged film as a director was Shah Rukh Khan-Priety Zinta-Saif Ali Khan-starrer hit "Kal Ho Naa Ho" (2003). After that he went behind the camera for "Salaam-e-Ishq", "Chandni Chowk To China" and "Patiala House", but they couldn't replicate the success of "Kal Ho.."
He however hit the bull's eye with his animation film "Delhi Safari", which won a National Award.
The filmmaker also feels today's youth "is asking for a difference, whether it's difference in politics, leadership, music, fashion or cinema".
He admits that the demography of people looking for different films is lower than the masses sticking to certain subjects. "That's why you will always have a 'Rowdy Rathore' or 'Bodyguard' or 'Dabangg' still working (at the box office).
"But the niche audience has grown over the past few years and that's very gratifying and helps filmmakers like us to make something different."
Over the years, the definition of romance has also changed.
"In 2003, when I made 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', the generation then believed that at the end of the day Shah Rukh will give up the love of his life for Saif… but today's generation is not like that, they will simply not accept it."
His next is "D Day", a film on cross-border terrorism, in which a bunch of RAW agents is assigned to bring a terrorist back to India from Pakistan. The film, starring Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan, Arjun Rampal, Shurti Haasan and Huma Qureshi, is coming out July 19.
"I am making another romantic comedy next year. But it's the kind of romantic film that I think this generation would identify. So it's not going to be in the same space of 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', but it will be a romantic film," he added.

This time it's a movement to introduce engineering classes to elementary schools, as reported by an article in yesterday's New York Times entitled Studying Engineering Before They Can Spell It.
Spurred by growing concerns that American students lack the skills to compete in a global economy, school districts nationwide are packing engineering lessons into already crowded schedules for even the youngest students, giving priority to a subject that was once left to after-school robotics clubs and summer camps, or else waited until college.These priorities have trickled up to the federal government:
Congress is considering legislation, endorsed by more than 100 businesses and organizations like I.B.M. and Lockheed Martin, to promote engineering education from kindergarten through 12th grade.And translate into yet more education spending:
In Manassas, Va., which has a thriving biotech industry, the local school district has spent $300,000 on a children's engineering program since 2008, equipping its six elementary schools with tool kits for projects like making musical instruments from odds and ends, building bridges with uncooked spaghetti and launching hot-air balloons made from trash bags and cups.Who knew toolkits involving odds and ends, uncooked spaghetti, and trash bags could cost a local school district hundreds of thousands of dollars?
The article cites several other examples of elementary school engineering projects. In Mary Morrow's classroom in Glen Rock, New Jersey:
First graders were recently challenged with helping a farmer keep rabbits out of his garden.And at the new Midway Elementary School of Science and Engineering in Anderson, South Carolina:
In teams of four, they brainstormed about building fences with difficult-to-scale ladders instead of doors and setting out food decoys for the rabbits. They drew up blueprints and then brought them to life with plastic plates, paper cups, straws and foam paper.
Then they planned to test their ideas with pop-up plastic rabbits. If the fences were breached, they would be asked to improve the design.
kindergartners celebrated Groundhog Day by stringing together a pulley system to lift a paper groundhog off the floor.Not all are enthusiastic about this trend:
As these lessons have spread, some parents, teachers and engineers question how much children are really absorbing, and if schools should be expending limited resources on the subject.
William E. Kelly, a spokesman for the American Society for Engineering Education and former dean of the engineering school at Catholic University in Washington, cautioned that engineering lessons for youngsters should be kept in perspective.Learning about engineering. Sound familiar?
"You're not really learning what I would call engineering fundamentals," he said of such programs. "You're really learning about engineering."
Here in Glen Rock, where students have long excelled at math and science, administrators and teachers decided to incorporate engineering into the elementary grades to connect classroom learning to real life, as well as to instill social skills like collaboration and cooperation that are valued in the work force, said Kathleen Regan, the curriculum director.Ms. Morrow's enthusiasm is share by her students--at least those quoted:
"They have to have the thinking skills of an engineer to keep up with all the innovation that's constantly coming into their world," Ms. Morrow said.
"It gets your brain going," said Elizabeth Crowley, 7, who wants to be an engineer when she grows up. "And I actually learn something when I'm doing a project -- like you can work together to do something you couldn't do before."But not all these students are sure what engineering is really about:
In the kindergarten class that was designing homes -- none out of hay, wood or brick -- for the three pigs, Ms. Morrow started the lesson by asking the 20 children sitting cross-legged on the carpet if they knew what engineers do.Again, building things--never mind writing poems about building things--does not entail learning engineering. As James writes at JoanneJacobs:
"They can write poems?" one girl guessed.
"Well," Ms. Morrow allowed, "they could write a poem about something they build."
It's great that these children enjoy their projects, but it's a mistake to convince them that it's engineering. At best it's iterative problem solving, which any decent machinist, farmer, carpenter, parent, etc. should be expected to do. Engineering as a discipline specifically involves the application of scientific/mathematical principles to design or develop a product or a process. By the standards exhibited in the rabbit-proof garden project (e.g., setting out food decoys) the typical scarecrow could be considered a piece of engineering.Another irony is that one of the experts quoted in the article as concerned about what students learn from these projects is the same person who is responsible for selecting the Investigations math curriculum for an Education School-School District partnership school in Philadelphia. If you want to give students the math background they need to become engineers, Investigations, which earns an "F" from mathematicians and scientists who have reviewed it, is one of the worst programs you could possibly choose.
The irony is that some of the students who are most likely to be future engineers (predominately left-brained kids) will hate the the art-project portion of the project; i.e., bringing their project "to life with plastic plates, paper cups, straws and foam paper."

Right from her birth till today, I've eagerly observed to understand how she learns – my baby, Sufiana. Actually, it was not just my own curiosity that made me take notice. It was a lot about the nature of her learning that made me marvel, wonder and gasp at her spirit. She's been a very, very passionate, committed and tenacious learner. I've seen her stick around despite failing again and again. I've seen her cry and kick and yell – so she could take her tiny thumb in her mouth. Her desperate struggle at day 5, day 6, day 7 and many more days and months after her birth – to put that dear thumb in her mouth to suckle at, was heart breaking for me. Sometimes, I felt compelled to show her how to do it. Other times, I thought it apt that she should try and figure out herself. Who am I to steal from her her zeal, her purpose. How can I not allow her the joy that's truly her own when she figures it out. All through, I was just dazed with wonder at her persistence.
Sufiana is climbing (actually crawling up) stairs these days to go explore the 1st floor of our home. She does this at least 10 times a day. This, when we're watching her and stay behind her so she doesn't slip. If we wouldn't go after her and would leave her free to go up the steps whenever, she would be doing this almost all day. Yes, really! This – climbing up – is what she's learning these days and nothing can stop her. Not just steps, she's learning to climb whatever comes her way – the headboard of the bed, chairs, from chair all the way upto the dinner table. Phew!
She's also learning and practicing to throw. She'll throw anything and everything that comes her way. Sometimes, things are heavy and sadly, they fall on her own feet without following the trajectory that she intended. Ouch! And, she signals me to come and soothe her by pointing to the spot where it hurt. She even throws stuff from moving car. Quite a few pens (she's so fond of them), empty bottles, caps have gone out the car window. So, throwing and catching a ball is what we play with her these days – often.
Before this, it was learning to walk that she was figuring out – all day and sometimes night. She would fall, get up, fall half way through the next step, make a 'tired' face but get going again. Her energy, eagerness and commitment to learn to walk was the most wondrous sight for all of us.
Her hard-earned learning
Everything that she did and does – grabbing her toes lying down, rolling, raising her neck while on the tummy, crawling, moving that strand of hair from her face, poking the fork into the water melon bite, scooping up curd from the bowl and managing to slurp some of it – every single accomplishment has been her hard-earned learning.
Without google searches…
There was no training, no hand-holding, no you-tube videos that she could follow, no google searches for her, no schoolish curriculum that would tell her what to learn and when, no FAQs that she could quickly read up to get a succinct understanding without having to experience real-time the trials and errors. The apps, the 'baby genius' products, she didn't ask for any such consumerism.
Yet, my baby learned.
All babies learn.
They're born to learn. They're programmed naturally, by nature, to learn. They have the attitude to learn without the applause, the 'progress reports', the medals, the smiley stickers and gold stars and all such rewards and baits and artificial stimulations and distractions.
They don't fear the mistakes.
Wait. They don't know there are mistakes. It's we who tell them they're wrong, there's another way – a better way. We sow the seeds of fear in their fearless minds. We show them how to measure themselves, compare with others, and feel better (or worse) by comparing…
Who needs the baits when learning is such an interesting thing in and by itself.
Baits and fears are what the grown-ups need – to drag their feet to offices every Monday to Friday. Baits are what the grown-ups invented – for children to be able to drag their feet every day to school, so they can sit there for six hours almost at a stretch. Every morning at 8 or 9.
Grown-ups invented these baits (and fears) and killed the natural curiosity and ability of babies and toddlers and children to learn.
John Holt had said,
"If we taught babies to talk as most skills are taught in school, they would memorize lists of sounds in a predetermined order and practice them alone in a closet."
Alexandre Dumas, said,
"How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it."

Thanks for asking this question. I was curious to know the answer to that from Weiwei but I didn't quite get what I had hoped to. I would like to know more about the art that he produced before his stint in the US. Were those works just as reactionary? I was so sure that his approach to art was fundamentally altered by his training and exposure in the West. I wonder if he would have been as radical if he never ventured beyond China.
The economic budget has gone way up. Also the religions have been very diverse.
My perception of the United States changed recently,I used to think that our government was failing but now I see that it is dieing. Once I looked at other countries and how they are I realized that our government is not only failing but it is dieing and this thought scares me because being Native American I have heard first hand accounts about how that struggle was and how people got crushed.
Truthfully, the United States is no better then China. There are upsides to living in the USA. The upsides are that we can be free, and do what we please. But in China, you live under the rule where they control you and you have no say in it
No, because we have never left the Country. If we did, we dont think it would because we are from the United States, which makes it our home.

I've never said the following sentences:
No, I don't want to pet your dog.
This movie has too many scenes featuring Michael Shannon.
I'd rather not add the fried egg on top.
This has too much garlic.
Once, when I met a friend's grandmother, she told me I have kind eyes. So there you go.
Always down for a good documentary. Other than that, it's all over the map. I generally like to find a director I enjoy and delve into everything they've done. Werner Herzog, Alfred Hitchcock, Kelly Reichart, and Jeff Nichols are a few favorites.
As for TV, I'm usually behind because I just keep up with stuff online, but among my all time favorites are The Wire, Louie, Arrested Development, Seinfeld, and The Twilight Zone. Recent favorites are Broad City, Silicon Valley, Game of Thrones, and Better Call Saul.
Music is very important to me and I can enjoy lots of different styles, but the common element in what I mostly listen to is authenticity. My daily playlist might have anything from Loretta Lynn to Kendrick Lamar. That being said, there is a pretty good chunk of stuff in my collection that might be categorized as experimental folk/indie/whatever and maybe a little boyz 2 men when I'm feeling fancy on a Friday.
As for food, I'll try anything. Indian, Szechuan, Thai, and Korean are all favorites.
I don't drink too much. You'll probably never see me trashed. I'm good at knowing when to switch to water to avoid headaches and bad decisions. I usually just have one or two drinks if I go out to a show or something. I do love a quality beer or whiskey, but I generally drink for the taste, not to get drunk.
Kidding... Sort of.

Two Middle Creek players make commitments
Posted January 28, 2013
Two football players at Middle Creek High School have made verbal commitments, head football coach Mike Castellano said Sunday evening.
Offensive lineman Blake Aaron, a two-year starter for the Mustangs, has verbally committed to Campbell. Aaron is the third Mustang from the Class of 2013 to commit to Campbell.
Fellow offensive lineman Brian Hughes committed to Methodist.
Middle Creek compiled an 11-2 overall record this season, including a perfect 8-0 mark in the Tri-9 4-A Conference to claim the league title. The Mustangs fell to Leesville Road in the second round of the state playoffs.
Castellano believes more Mustangs will be making commitments in the coming days.

Oxford bag Basham
Oxford United manager Ian Atkins has continued his summer re-building with the capture of former Southampton and Preston North End striker Steve Basham.
The 24-year-old will become Atkins' seventh summer signing once he has passed a medical at the Kassam Stadium.
Basham left Preston at the end of last season after seeing out his three-year contract at Deepdale, awarded on the back of a prolific loan spell during which he scored 10 times in 15 starts.
The Southampton-born forward was never able to repeat that form as a permanent member of the Preston squad with a broken leg keeping him out of action for a lengthy spell.
Basham scored just once in the First Division last season in 16 substitute appearances, but impressed Atkins during a trial spell at Oxford.
He is now looking to fulfil the potential that saw him make a clutch of Premiership appearances as a substitute in his Southampton days.

A spokesperson for Bingo Scotland said: 'We saw a small burst in March 2006 when the Scottish ban came in but you have to remember, many of the bingo hall smokers are older and will not make an easy transition to online. With the English ban mid summer and the many more bingo sites available today, any operator excepting to see a noticeable lift will be disappointed.'
The popular bingo site, which pays out over £25,000 per day across its five bingo rooms, has also announced the re-launch of its software. Players can now take advantage of added slots and a range of instant games. The upgrade to the site follows a large number of requests for additional games from new members.

this is a good pedal. it came with my set and the preformance is pretty good and also easy to double kick on. but it is kinda squeeky when you play. for me it not a problem because when you start playin it the drums over here it and you cant here it.
Comments about PDP by DW Single Pedal 450:
This pedal is THE worst pedal i have ever playted with EVER! It is a decent pedal if its just a short time replacement pedal, but long-term you will find many flaw's in this pedal, first, the first problem was that the left with the beater that connects to the base my turns out it stripped and i had to have my dad use easy strip to fix it, about a month later the spring that connects to the base snapped off making it where i couldnt even use the pedal at all the quality of the pedal is not meant for long time use, thats why i upgraded
Comments about PDP by DW Single Pedal 450:
This pedal came with my drum set and it is by far one of the worst pedals I have played with. I would recommend it for beginners but not professionals. If you are a hard playing drummer I would definitely not suggest this pedal. The price says a lot about this product. I am due for an upgrade ASAP.

Kell Brook's trainer Dominic Ingle gave a brutally honest assessment of his charge's world title challenge against IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter on Saturday night in California: that it is a 50:50 fight.
Brook finally fights for his first world crown after a frustrating period in his career with three fights against previous IBF world title holder Devon Alexander cancelled through injuries to both men.
The unbeaten Sheffield star – record 32-0 – arrived in California yesterday after completing his training camp in Las Vegas.
The 28 year old could not be better prepared to claim the title said Ingle on Wednesday. "The setbacks have given Kell more time and it's made him realise that he has to be 100 per cent prepared mentally and physically, which he is.
"By the time he steps into the ring on Saturday night, he'll have been in camp for 16 weeks which is probably twice as long as he's ever done. He usually does eight to ten weeks and crams it all in, but this time there's been no stone left unturned, everything has been executed to the best of his ability, he's done two trips to Spain, we've had Sheffield Hallam University monitoring his progress and they are in LA with us.
"We are expecting Kell to turn up on the night and become world champion."
Porter took the IBF 147lbs title from Devon Alexander in December and stopped Paul Malignaggi in April in his first defence and is the favourite to hold on to his belt on Saturday night. Both men carry unbeaten records into the ring with Brook on a run of four consecutive stoppage wins, and Ingle believes that there is little to choose between the two men.
"Shawn Porter is no Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao," said Ingle.
"He's similar to Kell really, he's never fought anybody that I would consider a big name. Alexander and Malignaggi have both had their day and before them fights he didn't look remarkable. People can say the same about Kell though, he's never fought anybody and he's looked a little ragged at times especially against Carson Jones, and the only 'name' on his record is Vyacheslav Senchenko who he demolished in four rounds.
"So to me it's a 50-50 fight. In England, Kell would win the fight 100 per cent. We're up against it in California but he is 28 years old and he has to take his chances when they come. It's maybe 60-40 for Shawn because it's in America but it's not a fight I see Kell Brook losing."
Brook would follow a succession of world champions from the famous Wincobank Gym in Sheffield masterminded by the Ingle family, starting with Brendan Ingle and followed by his sons Dominic and John. Brook could join the likes of Prince Naseem Hamed and Johnny Nelson as another Wincobank World ruler.
"Kell is going to try to create that distance and he's going to have to force his game on Porter," said Ingle. "Looking at Porter's last two fights he was a clean fighter before them but with Alexander it was a scrappy fight, hitting and holding and some spoiling tactics – neither of them knew who had won the fight because it was so difficult to score. It was the same against Malignaggi until he clipped him and stopped him.
"It has got the potential to be the fight of the year but it also has the potential to be a very scrappy match. It doesn't matter really, Porter will do what he thinks he needs to do to take Kell out of his stride, and as long as everything stays within in the rules that's not a problem. Kell is the cleaner puncher, he's the more skilful fighter, he picks his shots better and he's got the better skill set, but we'll see on the night.
"The level of opposition is not stratospheric. Shawn is not a man that cannot be beaten, he's had a draw in his career against ordinary opposition. If Kell turns up on the night like he can do, then Britain is going to have another World champion."
The winner on Saturday will be in line for blockbuster fights in the welterweight division.
"Every fight is make or break," added Ingle. "Had he not won the last fight he wouldn't be in the position and the same with the fight before that. Every fight at the top level is make or break, it's just that some fights are eliminators, some fights put you in position to get to world title fights and some fights have a world title on the line. It's going to be a great experience for Kell as he has got to go into the lion's den with everything against him and the only thing he has got is his ability and his desire to become a world champion.
"There will be no excuses if he doesn't win but from what I have seen in his training and sparring, I expect Kell to win on Saturday. Kell has been fighting for almost 20 years now, this is what he's been training for all of his life. Neither Kell nor Shawn Porter are that highly regarded by American fight fans, the press and probably not on the radar of the Pacquiaos and Mayweathers.
"Win this fight and people pay attention and it will lead Kell to the big fights with Khan and possibly Mayweather and Pacquiao down the line, and even someone like Miguel Cotto. There's nothing better than going to America and beating an American, everyone loves a transatlantic clash – American fighters think that they are the best and we think that we are the best, it really creates the interest and if Kell can beat Porter it really sets him up for the big fights and Eddie Hearn can deliver them."
The message from Ingle is clear: victory in this fight will be the making of Brook, as pugilist and family man.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas - Investigators are looking for possible victims after a music teacher from The Woodlands was arrested and charged with online solicitation of a minor.
"It is scary that that kind of stuff goes on. It makes me want to be more cautious," says Heidi Wahlquist.
Deputies say 29-year-old Clayton Deguerre spent two weeks chatting online with someone he thought was a 15-year-old girl. But what he didn't know is the person who placed the online ad, stating, "I'm 15 and home alone," turned out to be an undercover Montgomery County Precinct 3 investigator.
"He wanted to meet up for the purpose of having sex and in the dialogue talking, he knew that I was a child at school, he would carry on conversations with me believing I was at study hall," said J.J. Stitt with the Montgomery Co. Precinct 3 Constable's Office.
Stitt scheduled to meet him at the South Montgomery County Library on Feb. 20.
"He texted me that he is here to pick me up, and that is when we took him into custody," Stitt said.
Investigators say during an interview, Deguerre told deputies he taught music out of his home. Now investigators are urging any children who've had inappropriate contact with the man to come forward.
"To the bad guys out there, I am on the internet too, just as much as they are,. You think you are talking to a 15-year-old girl, but you are not," said Stitt.
Deguerre was taken to Montgomery County Jail on a felony charge of online solicitation of a minor.
Authorities are investigating whether Deguerre previously engaged in similar inappropriate actions with minors.
"If there are any individuals out there who may have had previous contact with this predator, we encourage them to contact our office," wrote Chief Matt Rodriguez in a release.
If you have any more information, you can contact the Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable's Office at 281-364-4211.

19 Million Nigerians affected with Hepatitis
As Nigeria joins the world to mark this year's World Hepatitis Day today (Saturday July 28, 2012), experts have said that hepatitis B alone affects about 19 million Nigerians.
The experts, who made the revelation in Lagos on Friday 27 July 2012 during a symposium on hepatitis B organized by the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR) in collaboration with the Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology of Nigeria (SGHIN) called for collaboration to raise awareness on the disease, which they said is more infectious and common than the human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS).
NIMR Director-General, Prof. Innocent Ujah, said although the disease is deadly, it is largely unknown by Nigerians. He put the global rate of hepatitis B and C at about 490 million, adding that HIV and the disease "area two enemies" that should not be allowed to mix.
He called for collaboration to ensure that Nigerians are not only aware of the viral disease, but are able to prevent it.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared in 2010, July 28 of every year as World Hepatitis Day with a call for comprehensive approach to the prevention and control of the viral disease.
The world body added that hepatitis A and E are typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water, while hepatitis B, C and D usually occur as a result of parental (other body parts except the mouth) contact with infected body fluids.
Associate Professor and Consultant Gastroenterologist at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Dr. Funmilayo Lesi, a member of SGHIN, said hepatitis B is a common disease in Nigeria that affects at least 19 million or one in eight Nigerians. She called on Nigerians to take steps to prevent the disease, as there are vaccines to prevent its occurrence.
Like in other parts of the globe "World Hepatitis Day-2012" is being observed on 28th of July every year in a bid to raise awareness among people about the disease of hepatitis so that with early detection and proper treatment of the patients, the goal of healthy society could be achieved.
To mark the Day seminars, walks, free medical camps and other activities are to be held in which speakers will highlight different aspects of the disease.
Only by increasing awareness of different forms of hepatitis and how the same can be prevented and treated, not only the spread of disease could be checked but thousands of lives could be saved also, health professionals said.
There are five hepatitis viruses defined by types- A, B, C, D and E. Types B and C are of significant concern since a high proportion of people infected with these viruses may not experience symptoms at the early stage of the disease, and only become aware of their infection when they are chronically ill.
According to WHO, types B and C could lead to chronic disease in hundreds of millions of people and, together, are the most common causes of liver cirrhosis and cancer.
Common modes of transmission of these viruses include receipt of contaminated blood or blood products, invasive medical procedures using contaminated equipment and for hepatitis B, transmission from mother to baby at birth, from family member to child, and also by sexual contact,
Also infected children sleeping next to each other, sharing of razor blades, being tattooed with unsterilized equipment are responsible for the transmission of the ailment.

As a result of the medial ligament problem, 25-year-old Roberts will miss Wales' next match with Italy on March 10 but will hope to return for the clash with France at the Millennium Stadium a week later.
"We are hopeful that Jamie will be fit for our final game against France," Howley told the Guardian.
"He was clearly not right after taking a knock and he gave away two penalties for offside, which is not like him."
But Howley believes Wales, who secured the Triple Crown at Twickenham and remain on course for their third Grand Slam in eight years, have already displayed their strength in depth with their victories over Ireland, Scotland and England.
Against Ireland, Wales lost captain Sam Warburton at half-time while flying winger George North limped of after 40 minutes against Scotland, and Howley believes the RBS 6 Nations leaders can cope with Roberts' absence.
"It shows the maturity of the side that we are able to overcome such injuries," added Howley. "We were not at our best against England but it was always going to be a game where the result was everything.
"The media hype before the game was that we were going to win at a canter, but that was never going to happen. The history of the fixture told you that and we knew England would be tough to crack.
"It is all about building blocks. We cannot afford to get ahead of ourselves and that means having a next game mentality."

Lower bird numbers found during pheasant opener
The drop in pheasant numbers indicated by the state Department of Game, Fish and Parks' annual brood survey seemed to hold true over the opening weekend of pheasant season Saturday and Sunday, and hunters had to work hard to bag their birds.
Most hunters said they were finding birds, but not as many as last year.
"It was lower this year, but an excellent day," said Lyle Sunderland, of Mitchell.
Sunderland and a group of 14 hunters, including his two sons, Bill and Lee Sunderland, of Phoenix, Ariz., shot 28 pheasants Saturday on Sunderland's land west of Mount Vernon. Sunderland released 50 pregnant pheasant hens in April and planted corn and milo for wildlife.
Sunderland said it's worth leaving "$4,000 to $5,000" worth of corn in the ground to keep deer and pheasants thriving in the area.
Lee Sunderland said the annual hunting trip is the highlight of the year. He started coming back to Mitchell from his home in Phoenix in 2001 to hunt with his dad and friends. The 10-day stay is the only vacation he takes — "no beach, no ski, just hunting with Dad."
Brian Grim, customer experience manager with Cabela's in Mitchell, said the store has experienced almost identical numbers of customers as last year, but in talking with customers they "are getting birds, just having to work at it."
Chuck Layer, of Milan, Ill., finished his first of eight days of hunting 30 miles north of Mitchell, only bagging five birds among six hunters. He said the day was beautiful but the hunting was a "little less than normal." Layer, who has been coming to Mitchell to hunt for the past 18 years, thought it was a little early in the season to compare it to his past hunts.
Nathan Baker, GF&P regional game manager for central South Dakota, said in a GF&P news release that hunters averaged about a half to one bird each and found decent bird numbers in localized areas.
"Groups were working hard in even the best habitat," Baker said. "A majority of the crops are still in the fields because of the recent rains, but hunters were covering everything available from grass to crops to shelterbelts."
Conservation Officer Supervisor Jeremy Roe reported that Aurora County hunters averaged a bird per group.
With an elevated concern over the reduced pheasant population and changes to habitat, the governor will host a Pheasant Habitat Summit on Dec. 6 in Huron. For more information, or to register to attend the summit, go online to gfp.sd.gov/pheasantsummit.

One Day in the
Aaron Fung When Aaron arrived at Vanderbilt, he wanted to unlock all the knowledge his classmates brought with them. So he started Owen Insights, a student-led series offering advice on everything from Excel to personal finance. Perfect training for his new role as a Relationship Manager for Credit Suisse in San Francisco.
MBA (Finance, Strategy, HOP)
2012 Class
Aaron Fung 7:30 AM
Wake up with a cup of coffee. I may be partially responsible for the 140 percent rise in Starbucks' stock price since I arrived at Owen. No time today for oatmeal or an omelette—just a pastry. Sigh.
Monetary and Fiscal Policy class with Dewey Daane, who was appointed to the Federal Reserve Board by JFK. Our guest speakers might be Don Kohn (former Vice Chair of the Fed) or Peter Fisher (Head of Fixed Income Portfolio Management at Blackrock). Oh, and our final speaker of the year? Paul Volcker. Yep.
Walking into a classroom to the sounds of Run DMC is never something you expect…unless you have Negotiation class with Tim Vogus. Today he's giving awards for students' real-world negotiation papers, which range from asking people on dates to haggling over spa services.
Time for some emails and calendar updates. On the docket for the following week: swimming on Monday night, a happy hour on Tuesday night and a nice dinner on the town on Wednesday.
Team meeting for my Compensation class. We're building a functional compensation model for a fictional technology startup, and my peers spend 15 minutes poking fun at me for antics from karaoke last week before we get to work.
Vanderbilt University's annual Impact Symposium, where world leaders discuss the future of American foreign policy. Tonight's speakers: General Wesley Clark and former Utah governor Jon Huntsman (who addresses us in fluent Mandarin Chinese). Tomorrow night: former UN Ambassador Bill Richardson and former President of Mexico Vicente Fox.
Today at lunch, I host a session of Owen Insights, a program I created where students teach classmates on topics they know intimately. Today Anne Marie is leading a session on "Optimizing Your LinkedIn Profile." (She's going to LinkedIn this summer as one of their first-ever HR interns.)
Finally home and able to grab dinner. Tonight, my only goals are to send my mom photos of a recent trip to Charleston, scan Facebook for any fun articles and watch Madagascar (the monkeys are hilarious!).

"Recently, the intention behind our Free the Games Fund – to provide additional funding to crowdfunded games bound for Ouya and enable developers to make more of them – seems to have been lost," Uhrman says. "This response surprised us – we thought this was going to be great – how could it not be?"
Free the Games Fund offers a pool of $1 million in matching funds to Ouya-exclusive Kickstarter projects. It's an "open" way to get games off the ground, Uhrman says – but many bystanders noticed that it's a little too open. One Free the Games Fund campaign, Elementary, My Dear Holmes, was suspended on Kickstarter following allegations that the pledges were fake.
"In launching this campaign, we've been called everything from naive and foolish to crazy and idealistic," Uhrman says. "This is not the first time we've been called any of that. Maybe we're naive ... and yes we're definitely idealistic. It's gotten us this far. We believe (still) that great games from great developers can be discovered this way – by you."
On Twitter, Uhrman is more concise: "No we are not changing the Free The Games Fund. We are sticking with it."
Gridiron Thunder, another Free the Games Fund title under suspicion from fans, was successfully funded with $171,009 on September 8. An Ouya representative told us that the project met all guidelines and would receive the match.
There are now nine games live on Kickstarter involved in Free the Games Fund and Uhrman encourages people to support them. Elementary, My Dear Holmes, doesn't make her list, of course.

Which studio lighting to get
kenyee wrote
As for "daylight robbery", you have to realize that in the US, PCB sells the Einsteins direct from factory. In the UK and other countries, there's an additional layer of distribution. The distributors buy at a minimal discount (I think it's $30/head or something insanely low like that because there's not much margin in direct sales products).
Then you guys in the UK have much higher taxes, import duties, etc. The distributor has to have space in a warehouse to store the stuff, hire phone/support personnel (aka overhead).
I'm a fan of ABs, but have spent too many years in marketing to buy the bunk that direct sales results in lower prices compared to selling through distributors. The costs of marketing must be borne by whomever markets the product--manufacturer or distributor.
Those people who answer Buff's phones, who pack and ship product to customers, and who repair broken Bees are all in addition to the factory workers. Warehousing, promotion, advertising, and sales and service all add to the final selling price of any product, regardless of who is doing the Marketing. In fact, an organization specializing in distribution can often operate at lower-cost than a manufacturer trying to operate a distribution facility.
I agree that taxes, duties, transportation, (and currency risk) are extra costs that must be borne by foreign buyers. Those vary from country to country. Based on some (likely out-dated) numbers I recall, I would guess a 15-30% higher selling price in the UK and Europe for US made products. Assembly in the EU might reduce that.
My point is that the price premium is not because of a distributor, it is mostly because of the costs of getting product into other countries.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Sciaraffa, Mary Aileen Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-04082004-162323 Title Profiles of Early Childhood Education Administrators: Looking for Patterns of Leadership Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Curriculum & Instruction Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Teresa Buchanan Committee Chair Diane Burts Committee Member Earl Cheek Committee Member Joan Benedict Committee Member Janet A Norris Dean's Representative Keywords
- administration
- early childhood
- administering programs for young children
- early childhood administrators
- administrators
Date of Defense 2003-12-18 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic inquiry into the lives of six early childhood administrators. The researcher investigated stories these early childhood administrators told about their lived experiences and searched for patterns that emerged from the stories suggesting career paths, personal characteristics, and administrative styles. The sample was obtained from a purposive/criterion sampling of the population. Six early childhood administrators were chosen based on their representation as a strong administrator who had experience with working with young children and families.
Data was collected through three interview sessions. The minimum time for each interview session was one (1) hour. An interview protocol was used in order to assure that each interviewee was asked the same questions by the interviewer. Each interviewee was made aware of the study's purpose, procedures, and informed of their right to deny being involved in the study. Participants were interviewed and interview transcripts, audiocassettes, and other documents were used for concrete, contextual biographical materials. Participants were asked to review the profile of their career, personal characteristics, and administrative styles developed by the researcher.
This study has provided insight into six early childhood administrators' career pathways, personal characteristics, administrative styles, and the uniqueness of their early childhood programs. This research expanded the early childhood literature by focusing on the administrator as the "gatekeeper to quality", which included a structural component, process component, people component, and cultural component. Each early childhood administrator was interviewed and asked questions about each component in relation to one other and to the external environment. Each administrator arrived at her role through a different route. However, each one had an education in child development and early childhood education. The personal characteristics and administrative styles shared by all the administrators included: concern for children and families, high expectations, value of trust, respect, sense of professionalism, belief in teamwork, nurturing the nurturer, and high demands.

1. You know when you move a child's toy. Then in a moment of haste you run somewhere and forget you moved that toy in the path that you are running? Train table 1- my toes 0. Resulted in a couple days of taking it easy, lots of elevation, ice, nauseasness from pain meds, swollen toes, and pretty bruising. A trip to Urgent Care revealed no broken bones which honestly kind of annoyed me because with the amount of pain, I wanted some validation. Instead, I am sporting the official title of Foot Contusion and a low tolerance of pain. Whatever, I say.
2. So you know when you have to get up and work because as a mom you can only stay down so long? Then after a full day of photo shoots you come home and your toddler steps hard on that foot contusion? It's the kind of pain that inspired the moments in cartoons when you see the character fly into the air like a rocket because they got hurt by something. That pain. THEN you know right after that you go shopping and you stop the bakset, but keep walking and you jam that same foot contusion yet AGAIN?
3. This impending move is sinking in. See this post. #2. The intensity of emotion has me in bed every night by like ten from sheer exhaustion. If this keeps up, I may have to change my blog name.
4. If we leave Cali. It's going to be rough. However, support means everything and we've got that. My soul Lord to you surrender, all I have is yours. It's on repeat in my head. I have the best friends and the best text conversations ever.
7. I had a little 24 hour getaway this past weekend. I went back to my home town of San Jose for some photo sessions. I had a sleep over with my bestie and a girls dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. So needed it.
8. This Concept is new to me. It stopped me in my tracks. Focusing on building instead of fighting. Why don't I do that? It really seems so logical. Very foreign and requires giving up a lot of junk. I'm in. Way to go Socrates. He seriously is pretty smart, right? How drastically different my life would look.
9. We did a party at Chuck E Cheese on a Friday night. I lived to tell about. My darling requested a Chuck E party so I let her pick 3 friends and we googled some coupons, picked up a bakery cake, and I sat in a booth. I'm not gonna lie, I love throwing parties, but right now THIS was the best party in the world. My girl had a ball and I rested. I think Chuck E Cheese should set up a sleeping room for mom's. We can go to Chuck E, let the mouse entertain, and head to the back to take a nap. Anyone with me?
10. Today is about my family. No work today. School prep, laundry, watching football with my hubby, friend over for my little, cleaning up the house, and prepping for the week.
11. Cookie Butter? It'll change your life.
12. Hoping to finish the classroom this week. That is pending no one's insides blow up and nobody in my house resigns and nobody gets a foot contusion. Excited to share it with ya'll.
13. Happy Sunday. Go Niners.

Hallelujah! The Stupak Amendment just passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 240 to 194, with one member voting present. Earlier reports had predicted 225 votes for the amendment which bars federal funding of abortion as a part of health care reform but Congressman Stupak was able to whip up 64 Democratic votes. (Yes, 64 votes from what was recently called "The Party of Death.") To be clear, only Democrats who favored health reform but oppose abortion could achieve this outcome. One of the fringe Catholic websites earlier was urging Congress to vote yes on Stupak and no on the final bill, which just doesn't make much sense since the prohibitions on abortion funding in the Stupak Amendment would only take effect if the bill they amended takes effect.
The House is currently voting on the ridiculous GOP alternative plan, which will fail, and then they will proceed to a vote on the final health care bill.
