How you know you are listening to New Democrats and not Liberals competing in a leadership race:
NDP leadership contender John Horgan (Juan de Fuca) says he is prepared to break contracts with private companies signed by the provincial government if he leads the NDP to victory in the next provincial election, reports the Williams Lake Tribune.
Referring to contracts with private firms or public-private partnerships, Mr. Horgan told about 60 people in Williams Lake that he would "open contracts and ensure they were in the public interest - if not, they will be broken," the newspaper reported.
Mr. Horgan also said he supported a moratorium on run-of-river projects and more government regulation. "Self regulation is not working too well," he said. "The wealth is slipping through our fingers."
New Democrats outside the leadership race were also drawing attention to how they differ from Premier Christy Clark's Liberals. NDP MLA Norm Macdonald (Columbia River-Revelstoke) called for a full public inquiry into the government sell-off of BC Rail - something that has been ruled out by Ms. Clark - in his MLA report in the Golden Star in Golden, B.C. and in the Revelstoke Times Review.
The six-million dollar payout to cover legal fees for two men convicted of breach of trust was one of several issues to be investigated, he wrote. B.C. was told the railway company must be sold because it was losing money but this turned out to be an inaccurate assertion, Mr. Macdonald says. B.C. was told BC Rail would be leased, not sold, but who believes a 1,000- year lease is not a sale? Third, the people were told the bidding process would be fair.
But top level BC Liberal political operatives received bribes to provide inside information to potential bidders, hecontinued. "While this close connection to the BC Rail scandal must be a strong disincentive for Premier Christy Clark to investigate any further, it is clear that all British Columbians deserve to know what really happened."
Ken Alexander, the editor of the Free Press in 100 Mile House, was willing to hold his pen a bit longer before offering comment about B.C.'s new premier.
"It's time for Christy Clark and her hand-picked inner circle to get down to the business of running the province," he wrote in a signed editorial that highlighted the HST as the top issue.
"Hey, it's early and like former NDP Premier Glen Clark said, 'Give me a little wriggle room,' Mr. Alexander wrote, without elaborating on the cryptic quote.
Mr. Clark made the remark in defence of significant revisions in budget figures after his victory in the 1996 election. The so-called fudge-it, budget turned out to be based on political choices that most financial experts could not substantiate.
Independent MLA Bill Bennett (Kootenay East) is probably still perplexed why he is not in Premier Christy Clark's cabinet. Before she announced her choices, Mr. Bennett in the Fernie Free Press sounded pretty confident that he would be part of the inner circle.
"I think frankly she's going to need somebody like me, to help her understand rural British Columbia," the MLA who was banished from the Liberal caucus for criticizing former premier Gordon Campbell told the newspaper.
Mr. Bennett reassured readers he did not intend to sell out his principles for a cabinet post. "If I go back into government, I'll know in the first six months, whether we're going to be able to represent the rural constituents in her government," he said.
Meanwhile Independent MLA Bob Simpson (Cariboo North), who was expelled from the NDP for criticism of his party leader, Carole James, was celebrating his independence.
"We now allow political parties to exercise too much control over our legislative system," he wrote in a column about the unelected premier of B.C. in the Williams Lake Tribune.
The first B.C. election fought along party lines was held in 1903, but it was not until 1940 that candidates were required to declare their political affiliation on official ballots, he wrote. Party discipline was non-existent until the 1950s, he says.
"In short, we have an unelected premier today because our legislative system was not designed with political parties in mind," Mr. Simpson says. "Its founders never imagined the possibility that British Columbians would ever allow an unelected person to become premier simply because they were the leader of a political party."
Meanwhile in federal politics:
Federal Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, (Kamloops-Thomson-Cariboo) linked the the flare-up in Parliament that could lead to a federal election being called later this week to the longevity of the minority Conservative government.
She told the Free Press in 100 Mile House that she was not surprised by the historic rulings by House of Commons Speaker Peter Milliken on the refusal of the Conservative government to provide sufficient details to the Commons of its crime bill and corporate tax cuts.
The Speaker also decided that International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda had given inconsistent testimony to a Common's committee.
Ms. McLeod told the paper that Parliament was not used to working with a long-term minority government. "So this is not surprising, at least in my mind, that we've had some challenges that the Speaker has had to rule on," she said.

Effective partnership: a vital condition for sustainable development financing
MAYOWA JOEL, from Communication for Development Centre, Nigeria, writes about the third International Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 13-16 July 2015. Effective partnerships are vital for sustainable development financing, but just how effective are these partnerships?
"The third International Conference on Financing for Development has come and gone leaving a sweet-sour taste. Regardless of how each stakeholder perceives the conference and its outcome, we all agreed it was critical for a new and transformative sustainable development agenda.
The Conference brought together high-level political representatives, including Heads of State and Government, Ministers of Finance, Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation, as well as other relevant institutional stakeholders, civil society organizations and business sector entities. The outcome of the Conference was an inter-governmental negotiated and agreed outcome, which constitutes an important contribution to and support for the implementation of the post-2015 development agenda.
The agreement, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, was reached by the 193 UN member states in attendance and provides a foundation for implementing the global sustainable development agenda that world leaders are expected to adopt this September. The agreement, adopted after months of negotiations between countries, marks a milestone in forging an enhanced global partnership that aims to foster universal and inclusive economic prosperity and improve people's well being while protecting the environment. The Action Agenda builds on the outcomes of two previous Financing for Development Conferences, in Monterrey, Mexico, and in Doha, Qatar.
Domestic resource mobilization is central to the agenda. In the outcome document, countries agreed to an array of measures aimed at widening the revenue base, improving tax collection, and combating tax evasion and illicit financial flows. Countries also reaffirmed their commitment to official development assistance, particularly for the least developed countries, and pledged to increase South-South cooperation. Countries also stressed the importance of nationally owned sustainable development strategies, supported by integrated national financing frameworks.
One vital condition for a well-financed development programme is effective partnership. At the national and global levels, there is an increasing quest for improved coordination and partnership within and across all sectors and partners involved in development programmes. Among other aims, this is to harness the comparative advantage of each partner to work towards effective and sustainable development.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, "This (Addis Ababa) agreement is a critical step forward in building a sustainable future for all. It provides a global framework for financing sustainable development." He added, "The results here in Addis Ababa give us the foundation of a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development that will leave no one behind".
Effective partnerships between governments, sectors (intra and inter), civil society and other stakeholders are a prerequisite and vital element for sustainable development financing. Without it, any effort towards financing for development may not be successful. So the question is, how effective are the partnerships that are needed as the driving force for sustainable development financing and how can they be revitalized?
Effective partnerships will ensure the harmonization of various interests, improve coordination, planning and stakeholder engagement. They will help to harness the resources and comparative advantage of each partner, improve monitoring and accountability of programmes and help reach goals and targets. We can learn many lessons from the few existing global partnerships like the International Health Partnership and Related Initiatives (IHP+). Lessons from the success and challenges of these partnerships will be useful to build an effective partnership across all levels. Some lessons from IHP+ include:
- Better coordination of resources can deliver greater value for money and better results.
- More can be achieved together than separately and being more inclusive can be effective.
- The most pragmatic way to handle fragmentation is to get partners to align behind one sound country-led national health plan.
- Within development partner organizations, staff members need the incentives and the authority to work in a collaborative and coordinated manner at country level.
- Partners need to focus on contribution, not attribution.
With improved partnership across all levels, I believe the process and outcome of the 3rd Conference on Financing for Development should be much better than the previous ones."

Ushering in its own open access strategy, Comcast Corp. inked a non-exclusive deal with United Online Inc. to offer multiple ISPs in the MSO's cable modem markets. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The agreement gives United Online, owner of NetZero and Juno, the ability to offer broadband ISPs services for the first time. United Online also has a relationship with Time Warner Cable, but so far, has not launched in any of the MSO's high-speed markets.
It also marked a first for Comcast, which said the deal was not an attempt to win favor among regulators for its pending acquisition of AT&T Broadband. The company has run trials with EarthLink, as well, but has not signed a definitive deal with the broadband-agnostic ISP.
Initially, Comcast will make United Online's ISPs available in Nashville, Tenn. and Indianapolis, Ind. by the early part of July 2002. Those markets will serve as a "template" for an eventual national rollout to Comcast's high-speed markets, the MSO said.
Comcast is the latest large MSO to begin multiple ISP plans. For example, Time Warner Cable offers EarthLink and AOL in several markets as part of Time Warner Inc.'s merger with America Online Inc. AT&T Broadband, following an early technical trial in Boulder, Colo., inked an "ISP Choice" agreement with EarthLink on March 12. Initially, AT&T Broadband will offer EarthLink in Boston and Seattle, and plans to launch the service in additional cities next year.

Kieran Foran says he will put his contract negotiations on hold this weekend despite being in Auckland at the same time as those club's chasing his signature.
With chief executives, coaches and players all flying to Auckland for the NRL Nines tournament at Eden Park, Foran has been mingling with players and officials from the respective clubs hoping to lure the Kiwi five-eighth away from the northern beaches.
The Eels, Bulldogs, Roosters and Warriors are believed to be the main contenders the Sea Eagles are trying to fight off in order to keep both Foran, as well as his halves partner Daly Cherry-Evans.
While Foran has already been spotted talking to representatives from those clubs at the NRL season launch and a fan day in Auckland, the 24-year-old said he would not be discussing his future this weekend.
"I'm just focused on playing footy. I'm not doing any contract talks this weekend," Foran said.
"I'll put that all on hold and concentrate on playing footy."
His close friends Mitchell Pearce and Shaun Johnson, who caught up with Foran on Friday, are adamant they won't be trying to persuade him to join their respective clubs.
Pearce, who went to school with Foran, has urged the club to re-sign the off-contract James Maloney, insisting he was unaware of Foran's contract situation.
"We honestly haven't spoken about it. The only time I've heard is what I've read in the papers.
"Jimmy Maloney is a good mate of mine and we've built a really good relationship there. I'd love to see Jimmy stay. The boys love him, I love him, so I hope he stays. We're building more every year, so hopefully we can have another big year.
"I'd say our combination has had some success. We won the comp and the minor premiership last year, so I think we're doing a pretty good job at steering the team around."
Johnson has had a few brief discussions with Foran about his future given the pair were roommates throughout last year's end-of-season Four Nations tournament.
While Johnson would love to see Foran return home to New Zealand, the livewire No.7 said he wasn't playing the role of the Warriors recruitment manager.
"I'd love for him to come back. He's a good mate, an awesome bloke and an even better footy player," Johnson said.
"Any club would be lucky to have him. He's got a lot of things to consider, so for now it's just having a good catch up and a good chat. We roomed together the whole time in the Four Nations. To be honest, we didn't actually really talk about it. There were a few little drops there or jabs there, but nothing serious.
"As footy players we know what we have to consider if you want to move clubs because it's a big deal. It's his decision at the end of the day. I'll ask him what he's up to and what he's thinking and he'll tell me, but it's nothing more than that. I'm not a recruitment manager for the Warriors. I'm really happy with the team we've got because we've got some really good players there."
How far will the Manly Sea Eagles go in the NRL this year?

What is it? The Crazy Frog ring tone, which hundreds of thousands of people have been downloading onto their phones for the past few months.
Even though he's responsible for lots of people losing their tempers, Daniel Malmedahl, who came up with the sound, is quite proud of the monster he's created.
"When we recorded it, we found it very, very funny. We laughed until we got tears," Daniel remembers.
He came up with the sound in 1997, as an imitation of his friends' moped engines.
The sound spread around the web, the familiar frog was added, drawn by his friend Erik Wernquist, and the whole thing was re-named The Annoying Thing.
In 2004 ringtone company Jamster contacted Erik and Daniel for permission to sell it for phones, and it really took off.
He's made a bit of cash from the frog, but is he going to say sorry to the people he's driven bonkers with his creation?
"Well I don't know if I can apologise... Many people find it funny and appreciate it. But you know I have no influence of the broadcasting of commercials, that's out of my hands."

This week's wine, an Italian sparkler we've nicknamed the Lemon Drop Kid, is a definite contender for toasting your darling on Valentine's Day. Santa Margherita Brut Prosecco will run you about $20 the bottle at big-box stores.
First, the bubbles: In this pale straw-colored wine they are lavish, exuberant and persistent, delighting the eye when held aloft and tickling the nose and palate. This is critical in a festive sparkling wine. Second, this wine, made from 100 percent prosecco grapes grown in the Valdobbiadene region, lives up to its brut label, both starting and finishing dry, crisp and fresh. In the middle is a lot of luscious lemon, debuting as nearly astringent fruit and morphing into something closer to a tart lemon drop candy. The combination makes for a superior prosecco.
One good way to enjoy it is simply to fill a flute, raise a toast and sip. If pairing it with food, go for fresh and simply prepared shellfish like stone crab, lobster or raw oysters. If drinking it with dessert, it would be yummy with cheesecake or creme brulee — even chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Prosecco also is the classic main ingredient in the luscious white peach cocktail called a Bellini, and the inviting and useful Santa Margherita Web site (sm-supperclub.com) has an elegant recipe for this beguiler of sweethearts.

Our Hometown Resilience scores include
each state's vulnerability to federal budget cuts.
Thinking about where you, or your children, should call home in coming years? Consider where Congress will cut back support for job markets and local economies.
(Yes, I know the budget deficit has come way down, but it's hard to see Congress loosening the pursestrings anytime soon.)
In South Dakota, federal grants subject to 'sequester' comprise over 10% of the state's revenue. In Delaware, they're under 5%.
In Maryland, Virginia and DC, almost one worker in 25 has a non-defense job with the federal government. In Connecticut, it's only one in 250.
Impacts from big non-defense expense seem to me all-but certain in every state in the country. Both parties are committed to major cuts over the next ten years, and if spending isn't 'sequestered' today, it will be heavily pruned over the coming years.
With so many jobs and state services heading for attrition, it pays to know where the cutbacks could hurt the least. The Pew Center on the States has gauged these vulnerabilities state-by-state, and Savvy Families has incorporated them into our free Where-To-Live reports.

Planning your finances after the Budget
Q : What issues should I be considering post-Budget with regards to my overall financial planning objectives?
A: The Budget, which was delivered almost two weeks ago, has reinforced what everyone has been aware of for some time — that the after effects of the credit crunch need to be paid for somehow and this will undoubtedly mean higher levels of tax for everyone.
The debt position of UK plc is staggering, and cannot be sustained going forward and general tax rises are one way in which the government intends to bring the borrowing down to more manageable levels.
So what we witnessed was an increased tax burden being placed on those top earners with a token gift by way of upping the ISA limit, to those savers who have been bearing the brunt of the current low interest rate levels.
In essence therefore, the budget affects very few individuals with regards to their financial planning strategy, but from a more generic perspective should send a clear sign to how you should approach your future financial planning.
In its simplest form, financial planning is all about trying to accumulate future wealth by sacrificing income today, so that at some future point, you will be able to call on that accumulated wealth to help you fund your objectives.
And in the meantime, put in place safety measures so that if an unforeseen event occurs, you or your family's plans are not put in jeopardy.
The squeezing of both the amount of tax relief given and the contribution rates available to be put into pensions for those enjoying significant incomes, should send out a signal to everyone who is planning for their future retirement.
As I mentioned earlier, we have seen the first tax rate rise for many years and if the commentators are to be believed it may not be the last.
It is therefore important to build in a degree of flexibility within your financial planning strategy which ensures that not all of your income is built up in a restrictive environment that may mean you defer the payment of tax now, but potentially pay a higher rate of tax at some future point when you choose to draw the income.
The extension of the ISA allowances may mean that building funds up in a tax favourable environment for the future, but forgoing tax relief now may be sufficient for the majority of people.
Similarly the low capital gains tax limits for higher rate taxpayers may be another attractive option to consider as a way of accumulating future wealth that can be drawn upon in a tax efficient manner.
As with all planning, the starting point has got to be defining what is it that you are trying to achieve, and once that has been clearly established, working out the best steps to meet those objectives.
As you work out those steps, tax rates now, together with the likely tax rate that you face in later years should be taken into account, but should not be the sole basis that a plan is put together.
Other issues that you need to consider are the amount of risk that you are prepared to take as well as the timescales you have before you are likely to need the capital or income.
Factors like this budget just provide an ideal catalyst for you to take some time out and review your objectives, together with the current plans you have in place, in order to ensure they are best placed to help you get to where you want to be.

NTT DATA and Microsoft Jointly Build RFID Management System Using ID Commerce Platform® Technology and BizTalk® Server
- Applied to research model of ASTREC next generation passenger baggage handling system -
- Applied to research model of ASTREC next generation passenger baggage handling system -
Apr. 23, 2008
NTT DATA Corporation
Microsoft Co., Ltd., Japan
NTT DATA Corporation (Head Office: Koto-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Toru Yamashita) and Microsoft Co., Ltd., Japan (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yasuyuki Higuchi) have built a prototype RFID tag management system, using the ID Commerce Platform®(Note 1) developed by NTT DATA based on specifications drafted by the ID Commerce Platform Development Initiative, and Microsoft's BizTalk® (Note 2) Server 2006 R2 and BizTalk RFID. The prototype system is to be applied to a research model of the next-generation passenger baggage handling system, being developed by the Advanced Airport Systems Technology Research Consortium (ASTREC; Chairman: Masahiko Kurono; Narita Office: Narita, Chiba Prefecture), in order to verify the viability of the technologies.
The ID Commerce Platform has functions needed for interworking of systems across enterprises and industries, such as management of peer information and collection of distributed management information, as well as information security functions (two-way system authentication, access control using attribute certificates, and communication path encryption). BizTalk Server 2006 R2 and BizTalk RFID provide the functionality for converting formats when information is exchanged between systems, as well as other functions facilitating connections to existing systems and to RFID readers.
Existing passenger baggage handling systems do not offer a free choice of service providers, providing passengers with only a limited combination of airlines, airport delivery firms and home delivery firms. And the existing systems are posing difficulties for service providers. One of them is the cost and time involved in setting up a new service.
ASTRAC has been carrying out studies into a next generation passenger baggage handling system research model that allows service users to select freely any combination of service providing companies. To enable this freedom of choice, the system must be able to link information from each of the companies in any combination. The key issues for realizing this goal are how to establish cross-system collaboration readily using existing systems and how to achieve secure information exchange across systems.
NTT DATA and Microsoft have solved the issues by making use of the ID Commerce Platform, BizTalk Server 2006 R2 and BizTalk RFID.
The resulting RFID management prototype system has the following three main advantages.
When service operations are performed, the ID Commerce Platform is used to automate information checking and manual collation of information, which should result in fewer mistakes and greater efficiency. Data portability between existing systems and the ID Commerce Platform is handled by BizTalk Server 2006 R2.
Use of the ID Commerce Platform enables fast, easy, and secure checking of traceability information, showing the status of baggage transport across multiple companies.
Use of BizTalk Server 2006 R2 and BizTalk RFID ensures ease of connection to existing systems, RFID readers and other existing equipment.
NTT DATA and Microsoft intend to continue participating in studies of the next generation passenger baggage handling system research model, and also to pursue its business possibilities in logistics and other fields.

If you don't like the ANC, leave! That's a key message of the Free State ANC conference, which took place amid tension over alleged vote-buying, rigging of branch meetings and factional splits.
Emphasising the need for intra-party unity, Dina Pule, the ANC national executive committee (NEC) conference convener, acknowledged there had been "jealousies", but said these had been addressed.
"We must quickly… separate from (those who divide). We must actively reject them," she said to cheers from delegates. "People who come with tendencies, we must really reject it… They can't be part of the ANC."
Pule went on to caution delegates against becoming "members of members" instead of disciplined members of the party: "If you are a member of a member, you are never going to be free.
"When we leave here and go home, send the message to those we left at home: 'Enough is enough.' You join the ANC voluntarily. If you don't want to be part of the ANC, then leave."
This was a reference to the drive by Mxolisi Dukwana, the provincial ANC treasurer who lost his economic development portfolio in Premier Ace Magashule's February cabinet reshuffle, to highlight manipulation of processes in the run-up to the conference, where he wanted to challenge Magashule for the chairman's post.
Former provincial secretary Sibongile Besani shared these concerns as recently as this month, when he sent a letter to the ANC top brass outlining "selective deployments" by members of the ANC provincial executive committee to meetings they were not assigned to and manipulation of branch meetings' attendance registers. Similar concerns were also raised by the Free State youth league.
The calls for unity, an end to factionalism and a ban on leaking ANC business to the media were echoed by several speakers, including Magashule, who was re-elected unopposed at the conference in Parys, his home turf.
It comes at a time that the ANC is grappling with what it calls "un-ANC" behaviour, including lobbying for positions and the politics of slates, or election candidate lists. At this week's policy conference, more than 3 550 delegates will discuss a range of proposals to modernise and renew the ANC's operations, including an integrity commission and a ban on paying for T-shirts.
However, Dukwana boycotted the conference, which he first described as a meeting of "a lobby group" and then as illegitimate.
"The Parys conference can therefore never be regarded as a true reflection of the branches of the ANC in the Free State and there is no way we can recognised its outcome as legitimate," he said in a statement yesterday.
Those supporting this stance issued a statement on Friday evening saying it was an "illegitimate, fraudulent conference".
The provincial ANC Youth League (ANCYL) also stayed away in protest against the lack of action to resolve grievances.
However, in a surprise move, suspended league treasurer Pule Mabe arrived – and was welcomed by Magashule as the leader of the ANCYL in a clear snub to the youth league's ongoing attempts to try to reverse the expulsion of Julius Malema through a "political process" with ANC officials.
However, the Free State ANC conference received the blessing of Luthuli House. It is understood that secretary-general Gwede Mantashe signed off on branch audits on Friday morning, the day the conference start was delayed for more than three hours amid rumours of a court interdict.
A request to Mantashe to intervene, made by a provincial general council held on Wednesday in Bloemfontein, seemingly fell on deaf ears, according to insiders.
Susan Shabangu, the head of the ANC task team to resolve tension, told Independent Newspapers that the audit process had been completed earlier in the week and that the required threshold of 70 percent of branches in good standing was met.
Of the Free State's 318 ANC branches, 239 were at conference, six above the threshold. A total of 750 voting delegates of the expected 930 attended.
But while there was much talk about unity and the occasional dig at opponents' use of money by Magashule, the fallout over tension in the run-up was clear.
Credentials, the record of delegates, were not presented as is ANC tradition by the secretary – officially Besani had taken ill, while others insisted he also boycotted the conference – but by the credentials committee chairwoman Nomvula Mokonyane, Gauteng's premier.
Similarly, the organisational report was not presented by the secretary, but his deputy Mamiki Qabathe, an ally of Magashule's. There was also some confusion over who would present the treasurer's report to the conference in Dukwana's absence.
The conference was a clean sweep for Magashule.
He, his deputy Thabo Manyoni, and Qabathe were re-elected unopposed, while provincial ANC spokesman William Bulwana was elected unopposed as secretary and Mosebenzi Zwane, the agriculture MEC, was unopposed as treasurer.
It was the continuity called for by Fezile Dabi regional ANC official Sizwe Mbalo at the start of the conference: "We are here to renew the mandate of the leadership collective."
It was the continuity, with a little bit of change, hinted at by Magashule, who referred to the KwaZulu-Natal ANC returning its top five officials at its recent conference. "We must go to 'Mangaung' (ANC national conference) united. We must act like KwaZulu-Natal."
KwaZulu-Natal Premier Zweli Mkhize attended the conference in his capacity as an NEC member. He was one of an unusually high-powered group of ANC NEC deployees, including Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa and Justice Minister Jeff Radebe.
Although tension within the Free State ANC is likely to simmer on, the conference was a boost for Magashule – and in turn for President Jacob Zuma, who was expected at the conference today.
Speaking from a podium dressed with a poster "Hands off Our President Jacob Msholozi Zuma", Magashule made no bones about where his sentiments are. And neither did the delegates, who sang in favour of the president.
"Zuma emerged out of the Struggle. If you talk about leadership, come December (Mangaung national conference), you'll apply your mind to who is the best leader," Magashule said, adding that the ANC needed "tried and tested" leaders.
"Jacob Zuma did not just become a president because he dreamt of being a leader. We voted (for) him at Polokwane."

Tottenham have confirmed that Jermain Defoe will move to Toronto this season, as revealed by the Mirror on November 27.
The club released an official statement via Twitter on Friday morning:
"We have reached agreement with Toronto FC for the transfer of Jermain Defoe to the MLS side, with effect from February 28, 2014."
Tim Sherwood said the move was a positive step for the England striker:
"This is a great opportunity for Jermain and he feels it is one that he wishes to pursue."
But Jermain Defoe says he will remain focused on Spurs until he moves to the MLS at the end of February, the striker has been at the club since 2009, after an initial stint between 2004-2008:
"Everybody knows how much this club means to me. I will play my heart out for the team and the fans until my last kick for the club."
A pre-season friendly was agreed as part of the deal, and Defoe will probably line-up against his old side. Tottenham announced:
"[The] third game of US Pre Season Tour announced against Toronto FC – July 23, 2014."

When attempting to edit a panels page and add content (panelpathnamehere/panel_content), the "add content" cog icon that triggers the options overlay/box/popup/modal is not presented due to an error in javascript that I think is in the Shadowbox Login module.
Safari reports this error as such:
TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'parent.Shadowbox.isOpen')
Line with error is in login_shadowbox_check.js:
if ( ! is_shadowbox_form && parent.Shadowbox.isOpen() ) {
Which is part of this code in login_shadowbox_check.js:
(function($) {
var is_shadowbox_form;
var current_location;
current_location = document.location.href;
is_shadowbox_form = current_location.indexOf('shadowbox', current_location.length - 'shadowbox'.length) !== -1;
if ( ! is_shadowbox_form && parent.Shadowbox.isOpen() ) {
parent.window.location.href = current_location;
I have been trying to hunt down the problem module for a very long time now that was messing with things here and there, finally found it! Guess I just didn't want to believe it was Shadowbox (Login) since I wanted that functionality at the time I was initially enabling modules months ago, using colorbox and colorbox-node now.
When disabling the Shadowbox Login module, the error goes away and the Panels Add Content cog icons show up again as they should.

Saturday night the culmination of a career came to an end.
Bart Starr walked into our lives professionally in 1956. After 5 championships, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, 4 Pro Bowls, 9 years of coaching and 44 years of service to the Vince Lombardi Charitable Foundation, Bart Starr is stepping away from the public spotlight.
Starr and his wife Cherry, who will be married for 60 years this coming May, stood at the podium and graciously thanked everyone for their support and then made the announcement that Vince Lombardi's quarterback, who just turned 80, wanted to rest and spend time at home.
I can't say that I blame him.
The man who has embraced and lived his life exemplary to every Lombardi quotation hanging on every wall in just about every coach's office in America has blazed a path that we all should aspire to.
To try and truly capture the man in mere words, to me, would be impossible. Bart has led his life with class, dignity, determination, he has led by example and along the way has given us speeches to inspire to help others as well as to praise those who have excelled.
In today's day an age where we are constantly looking for role models and someone to lead, maybe you should tell your kids to go back to 1956 and read the story that is Bart Starr.
On a personal note, I have worked with a lot of people in my life, there is no one that I am prouder to call my friend.
Best of luck Bart and Cherry.

TAMPA — A Tampa man was charged with burglarizing a church and a car after police stopped him on his bicycle and found what they said was stolen property in his bag.
The man, John Edward Harris, who police said lives at 302 Whitehall Court No. B or 1309 E Sitka St., was stopped at 307 E Clinton St. An officer was patrolling the area just before 3 a.m. Wednesday after reports that the Tampa Korean Methodist Church, 4212 N Boulevard, had been burglarized about half an hour earlier.
Officer Usilia Emilione saw Harris riding his bike north on Central Avenue without proper lights and stopped him near Sligh Avenue. Harris was carrying a full black duffel bag, which she searched. She found several laptop computers and accessories.
When Emilione and a backup officer, G. Colucci, began questioning him, Harris tried to run away. The officers tried to use a stun gun but missed. They said Harris hid on E Clinton Street in a parked car owned by Cory Lee Jones, of 2819 Richardson Road in Bartow. Police found him, stunned him and arrested him.
Harris was charged with burglary of an unoccupied structure, criminal mischief, grand theft and opposing an officer without violence. He was taken to the Hillsborough County Jail, where he remains in lieu of $7,500 bail.
All the property was returned.

Jurors once again heard Byron Smith's audio recording of the day he shot and killed Nick Brady and Haile Kifer, after they broke into his home Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22, 2012.
Smith is charged with two counts each of first-degree premeditated murder and second degree murder for the shootings.
In his closing arguments, Prosecutor Peter Orput said, "This is a very serious, but very sad case" and asked that jurors take their time to reach four just verdicts.
Orput outlined for the jurors how he said Smith pre-planned, prepared and premeditated the killings. Orput said the planning began after he visited with his neighbor at 10:30 a.m. the morning of Nov. 22, 2012, when the two observed another neighbor driving by.
At 11:30 a.m., he moved his truck, Orput pointed. He reminded jurors that Smith told Sgt. Jeremy Luberts during an interview the next day, that he moved it to clean his garage. "Does that make sense?" he asked. Was moving his vehicle to clean his garage, or part of the plan? he asked. "He made sure he got set up."
Orput said Smith made sure a tarp was nearby in the basement, because he didn't want blood on the carpet, activated his digital recorder — adding the prosecution was grateful for that because it recorded all that happened. He went on saying Smith loaded his .223 rifle and loaded his .22 revolver. "That was planning; that was preparation," said Orput.
Smith had a bottle of water and snack bars ready for a long wait and a novel to read, said Orput. "He was in it for the long haul," said the prosecutor. Smith had extra ammunition on the shelf and was going to wait it out, because, said Orput, Smith was convinced the neighbor who had driven by earlier was burglarizing his home and he was going to get her.
Orput asked whether shooting Nick Brady, the first to come down the stairs, was reasonable. "Was that necessary? That's for you to decide," he told jurors.
Orput said with both victims the jurors heard testimony about shooting the two at close range, including a bullet behind Haile Kifer's ear and one under her left eye. "And the coupe de gras, a good clean finishing shot under her chin," said Orput. "After he shoots Nick Brady, he says, 'You're dead.' While he's shooting Haile Kifer, he says, 'You're dying. … I wanted him dead. …. I shot him in the face. … It all goes to intent," said Orput. "Every time the defendant pulled that trigger, he considered, he had an opportunity to consider every time he pulled the trigger. … He made a choice, considered his options."
After playing the 29-minute audio, which included the 11-minute clip of the shooting of the two and clips of Smith talking to himself, from nearly two hours to five hours later, Orput pointed out specifics to the jurors of what Smith had been captured saying on the audio.
Orput told the jurors from the audio, they knew what Smith's state of mind was and asked again that they bring back a just verdict.
In his closing argument, Meshbesher told the jurors that it was the choices that Brady and Kifer made, to drive to Smith's residence, walk on his private property uninvited with hoods on their heads and gloves on their hands. It was Brady's choice to smash the window in Smith's home to gain entry.
The window was broken in Smith's bedroom, when Smith was downstairs, alone on Thanksgiving.
"They drove the car, they got out of the car, they had hoods on covering their faces and they had gloves on their hands — a metal rod was used to strike that glass," which Meshbesher said was a strong window of glass, a double pane window. "It's a home, homes are where we live; homes are where we live to feel safe and it's our castle in this country," he said. "We all relish the idea of having a home, even if we rent one – we don't have to own it – that is our castle."
Meshbesher said when Brady climbed in that window a few minutes later, "reasonably, after hearing three gunshots," Kifer crawled in the same window. "Now the reasonable inference is if she heard three gunshots, she thought Nick had shot the homeowner, not the other way around," said Meshbesher. "Maybe they got into a fight. But she came in anyway and maybe it's because of the Triple C and the intoxcation and having an out of body experience, as already testified to. But if they hadn't done that on Nov. 22, we wouldn't be here today."
"Byron Smith didn't call them and ask them to come on over and set a trap — he didn't even know who they were," said Meshbesher. "He didn't ask them to come over to his house with a trap to kill them.
"He was in his basement, reading a book on Thanksgiving, and like some people I know, he likes a clean garage. But he didn't want to leave the car out in the driveway, so he parked it by a home where he saw visibly two state patrol vehicles, where he thought it would be safe and walked home," said Meshbesher.
"Had Mr. Brady and Ms. Kifer not gotten into that car and chose to drive it in a hidden spot which was later inventoried with a search warrant, got out of the car, walked onto private property, struck and shattered a window that size, crawled in that window, walked through the hallway of that home, chose to walk downstairs after walking down the hallway, we would not be here today," said the defense.
"It is a traumatic experience for all of us," he said. "I don't care who they are, they didn't deserve to die, but they were not murdered. This is not a murder case. This is about taking responsibility, sad responsibility, but it's about taking responsibility for how this thing even occurred."
"We have to quit blaming the victims," he said. "Make no mistake about it, Byron Smith is a victim. He was confused, he was scared, but he was the victim of burglary – the state doesn't want to talk too much about that – and I don't want you to think that I think they deserved what they got – because nobody deserves to die – that's a sad thing. We all believe in life and love and caring, but it's hard to control things when people are doing Triple C and having a psychotic effect, an out of body experience," he said.
He went through a list of things that jury would have to consider as "not guilty."
He listed evidence in the courtroom that proves Smith is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. "If they make an emotional argument that you think he might be or is highly guilty, that's 'not guilty' in this country," he said. "If guilty is likely, that's' not guilty.' If he's probably guilty, that's 'not guilty.' If you suspect he might be guilty, that's 'not guilty.' If perhaps you think he might be guilty, that's 'not guilty;' if he may not be innocent, that's 'not guilty;' that he possibly did not act with intent or premeditation, he's 'not guilty'. If it's unlikely that you believe his story or the state's, he's 'not guilty.' If he's probably not innocent, he's 'not guilty.' If it's less than likely he's innocent, he's 'not guilty.'"
The jury was sent to deliberate at about noon and will be sequestered until they have reached a verdict. Should they need more than this afternoon to deliberate, the jurors will be put up in a hotel and begin deliberations again tomorrow.

MANAGER Tom Killick blasted the performance of referee Adam Penwell after he was sent to the stands during Poole Town's incident-packed 4-2 win over Frome.
Killick was dismissed after marching down the touchline to confront Penwell who had taken no action against visiting defender Josh Ford for his reaction to Michael Charles' late tackle.
A mass skirmish ensued but only Charles was booked, a decision which left the Tatnam manager enraged.
"Michael, quite rightly, got a yellow card but the reaction of their players basically constituted an assault," said Killick.
"He (Charles) said he had been hit four or five times but the referee indicated there was nothing wrong which everyone in the ground could see was ludicrous.
"That shouldn't happen on a football pitch and when the offender gets away with absolutely no punishment while referees regularly dish out yellow cards for trips and minor dissent, you start to wonder what it's all about.
"It really grates when someone is the perpetrator of that level of violence and no action gets taken."
That was just one of several controversial calls made by the Weston-super-Mare-based official with Frome insistent Will Spetch should have been sent off on the stroke of half-time.
The Dolphins defender appeared to deny veteran striker Matt Groves an obvious goalscoring opportunity, with Killick understanding of his opponents' frustrations.
Poole's boss added: "Their forward was at a bit of an angle but was clean through with a significant chance of scoring.
"I feared the worst but the referee's decision went in our favour and it was the first of many incorrect ones.
"Sometimes players have games where they can't do anything right and I suppose referees are entitled to have days where they are incapable of making any correct decisions. Unfortunately, that's what happened."
Goals from Jamie Whisken and Ekow Elliott put Poole in the driving seat before Frome's Jack Vallis thumped home a close-range header seconds before the interval.
The hosts were rocked when Kris Miller levelled from the penalty spot after Penwell ruled that Elliott had handled a deep cross, but Steve Devlin's dipping 30-yard rocket quickly restored Dolphins' advantage.
Devlin then rounded off the scoring five minutes later when Poole were awarded their own spot kick for a trip on Elliott, while Frome had striker Ricky Hulbert dismissed for violent conduct two minutes from time.
On the match, Killick said: "I was really pleased with how we played in the first half. We were vibrant, energetic and caused them problems.
"Everything seemed to be going our way but the goal before half-time deflated us and gave them a lift. They were in the ascendency in the second half and at 2-2 you wouldn't have wanted to pick a winner.
"But Devs has produced a goal out of nothing and that proved the difference in the end.
"We looked a bit more like our old selves and seem to be heading in the right direction. Whichever way you look at it, we have managed three wins on the spin at a very crucial time."
Killick hopes injured duo Carl Pettefer and Richard Gillespie will recover in time for tomorrow's trip to Corby Town (7.45pm).
