Nguette denies Ajaccio victory
Opa Nguette grabbed a second-half equaliser for 10-man Valenciennes to claim a 1-1 draw at Ajaccio.
Last Updated: 19/01/13 10:26pm
Opa Nguette grabbed a second-half equaliser for 10-man Valenciennes to claim a 1-1 draw with Ajaccio at Stade Francois Coty on Saturday night.
Adrian Mutu had given the relegation-threatened hosts the lead on the half-hour mark and things got worse for VA after the interval when defender Benjamin Angoua was sent off for a tackle from behind on the Romanian.
Mutu passed up the chance to make it 2-0 when his attempted cheeky chip from a penalty was saved by Nicolas Penneteau and the visitors went on to salvage a point thanks to Nguette's 69th-minute strike to leave the hosts just two points above the drop zone.
VA headed to Corsica looking for a positive response to last weekend's 5-0 thumping at Nice and mustered a couple of decent early opportunities for Nguette, only for Ajaccio goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa to be equal to both.
And when the deadlock was broken the goal came at the other end as Mutu coolly slotted past Penneteau after the Valenciennes goalkeeper had pushed out Johan Cavalli's free-kick.
Ochoa was again in the right place just before the interval to block an Anthony Le Tallec blast, after good work from Matthieu Dossevi, as the hosts went in at half-time ahead.
Nguette had another decent sight of goal 14 minutes after the restart when he met Dossevi's cross from the right with a powerful header, but was once again frustrated as Ochoa made an excellent save.
VA's frustrations continued just after the hour when Angoua was dismissed for hauling back Mutu as he burst through on goal, with Penneteau punching the resulting free-kick clear from the former Fiorentina forward.
Mutu had a golden chance to wrap the game up midway through the second period when the referee pointed to the spot for a foul by Gaetan Bong on Benjamin Andre, but Penneteau was not fooled when he tried the cute lob.
And, soon after, Ajaccio were left to rue their missed opportunities as VA drew level. Dossevi muscled his way past three defenders down the right and fed Nguette, who made no mistake with his low shot.
Mutu, looking to make amends for his penalty miss, skimmed the outside of the post 11 minutes from time after springing the offside trap from substitute Damien Tiberi's pass, but neither side could find a winner in the remaining time.

First Person
In the tumult that followed last year's second grand jury report to allege a staggering history of sex abuse and cover-up in the Philadelphia archdiocese, the most striking response I heard from a reeling faithful came not from any cleric, staffer or abuse survivor, but from my mother.
Over a late-night cup of coffee as the revelations were still sinking in, all Mom could bring herself to say was, "It just feels like there's been a death in the family."
What she was implying seemed clear, but I wanted to be sure. "You mean your trust in the wider church, outside the parish?"
"That's exactly what I meant," she shot back.
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
If that was how Mom, a South Philly Italian named for a nun, now a lay minister and caretaker for my ailing grandmother -- in other words, a pillar of the faith -- felt at the start of a year whose turns since have read like a surrealist novel, one could forget about finding credibility anywhere else.
It's been a steady stream of "deaths" for this family of 1.2 million since February 2011, when District Attorney Seth Williams (himself a Catholic) stunned the church here and well beyond with the explosive findings of his office's second full-scale investigation of the archdiocese's leadership in five years. Listing the tiers of tumult that have erupted to roil the fold, however, does little to convey the sense of the visceral impact they've had, one many natives have likened to some variation of being "hit by a truck" as each fresh aftershock has surfaced.
One by one, the pieces have quickly fallen into place.
Within weeks of the two-year inquest going public, the core of the local church culture -- a notoriously quiescent clergy -- began to revolt after 21 of their own, among 37 priests alleged by the grand jury to have been kept in ministry despite what the panel termed "improper behavior with minors," were placed on administrative leave in the largest single banishment of clerics in the history of the American church. (For varying reasons, another 10 priests have since been pulled from the ranks.)
Numerous civil suits quickly followed as victims' attorneys seized upon the new report's evidence as proof of an archdiocesan conspiracy, thus allowing plaintiffs to circumvent Pennsylvania's ironclad statute of limitations.
A January proposal to close or merge 49 schools -- by far, the biggest downsizing of Catholic education ever eyed by a U.S. diocese -- sparked rallies from city streets and suburban fields to demonstrations at cathedral Masses as students, parents and alumni took out their fury on parish priests and diocesan officials alike.
The archdiocese's former chief finance officer, a laywoman, was fired, then arrested on charges of stealing $900,000 in church funds over several years to pay personal bills and casino trips, and the chancery's in-house lawyer was suddenly removed and replaced over unspecified "legal circumstances."
The Vatican fast-tracked Cardinal Justin Rigali's retirement as archbishop and the longtime Roman kingmaker headed for the mountains of Tennessee, while his long-retired predecessor, Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua -- excoriated by both grand juries, but charged by neither -- died under a cloud of court scrutiny. And in the development looming above it all, Williams' probe levied charges against Msgr. William Lynn, the first church official in the English-speaking world to be indicted for moving priests with substantiated abuse allegations to new assignments, paving the way for the landmark trial that began March 26 before a packed courtroom and under the glare of global interest. The trial is likely to run at least two months.
Though the epic fallout of the 2011 grand jury dominated local media for weeks after its release, coverage of the trial following its first day has quickly retreated to a low boil; despite hours of wrenching daily testimony, each day's digests are garnering 15 second briefs on TV news, while the newspapers run cursory recaps. And as the hearings' second week began, reports from the courtroom said that the sizable crowds who turned out for the early proceedings have dwindled.
The attention is likely to be renewed should some game-changing item emerge or if, as is widely expected, the surviving bishops among Lynn's superiors become the first U.S. prelates to testify in criminal court on their management of allegations.
As NCR went to press, advocates for local abuse victims were planning a Good Friday demonstration outside Philadelphia's Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul to rally support for reform and keep their cause in the spotlight.
Surveying the last 14 months, a veteran pastor summed up the broad current of fatigue among Catholics with an exasperated, "What in the world will happen next?" The trial's verdict remains in the balance, yet one significant outcome of the grand jury is already settled: The model of triumphalist clericalism that long defined American Catholicism's "Last Empire" is dead, and something very different is beginning to rise in its place.
That's not to say the new shape of things is clear -- it won't be for some time, especially as the flock faces even more dramatic days over the weeks and months ahead.
After spending the last year in an investigatory "limbo," final decisions on the fates of the 21 removed clerics are expected to emerge. And beyond the Lynn proceedings, a religious priest and lay teacher charged with abuse by the grand jury begin their trials in September, after which the civil litigation against the archdiocese will begin.
A considerable downsizing in bricks and mortar, however, is perhaps the most significant sign of the end of an era. Archbishop Charles Chaput has placed on the market the 13,000-square-foot mansion on nine acres where his predecessors have lived since the 1930s.
Despite the success of several appeals of school closings -- including a last-minute reprieve for four targeted high schools -- June will still bring the shuttering of 36 elementary schools.
And already under way is the first wave of an anticipated three-year process that could see the closing or consolidation of a quarter of the 268 parishes spread across five southeastern Pennsylvania counties.
Seven months on the job, Chaput's tenure is shaping up as an uphill decade of gutting and rebuilding a 200-year-old apparatus. Like the last year, the road ahead won't exactly be for the faint of heart.
Accordingly, both sides of my family are still coming to terms with the impending loss of the three schools that educated scores of our clan for the better part of a century. Even so, Mom was a bit more sanguine than before as the trial approached.
"It's so horrible," she said. "But at least it's getting cleaned up."

Almost three years after a majority of creditors passed a motion of no confidence in One.Tel's special purpose liquidator and 18 months after they told him to resign, a NSW Supreme Court judge asked the obvious question on Thursday. Why does Paul Weston want to stay?
''I am just trying to fathom why it is that he would wish to remain in a situation where he accepts it's unworkable,'' Justice Patricia Bergin said to Mr Weston's barrister, Nigel Cotman, SC.
Mr Weston has been at loggerheads with the creditors' committee of inspection at least since 2007.
''Your client had an obligation in one way or another for the benefit of the company to ensure that the relationship with the committee was one that would work,'' Justice Bergin said.
''A special purpose liquidator has an obligation to try and make sure that things don't get out of control. This was totally out of control.''
An easy answer might be that Mr Weston, a partner of the accounting firm Pitcher Partners, wants the fees from his role of pursuing a $250 million damages suit against former One.Tel directors James Packer and Lachlan Murdoch. Since his appointment by the court in 2003, creditors have paid $13.5 million to Mr Weston and his lawyers.
But Mr Weston is risking damage to his reputation if Justice Bergin agrees to an application by Optus, One.Tel's largest creditor owed $65 million, to replace him.
Optus, supported by Cisco Systems, owed $55 million and Telstra, owed $49 million, also wants the judge to order an official inquiry into Mr Weston's conduct.
Complaints about his fees and legal expenses have been under investigation by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission since 2009.
Mr Weston chose not to give evidence so the answer to the judge's question came from Mr Cotman.
His client's experience and background were valuable to the liquidation and his future direct dealings with the committee of inspection would be minimal, Mr Cotman said.
Replacing him with another liquidator would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater and the cost of his replacement coming to grips with the detail of the job would be ''prodigious'', he said.
In addition to costs, the creditors are aggrieved at the time it took Mr Weston to serve his suit on Mr Packer and Mr Murdoch and his failure to try to reach a negotiated settlement.
Last year the claim against the two directors was dismissed because it was unfair on the defendants to wait so long after One.Tel's 2001 collapse to be sued.
Mr Weston has appealed against the dismissal, and has foreshadowed launching a fresh suit on a different legal basis if the appeal fails.
On Thursday, Optus's barrister, John Sheahan, SC, described Mr Weston's resistance to being removed as a ''remorseless clinging'' to the appointment.
In his opening address earlier this month, Mr Sheahan said members of the committee - ''people who were sophisticated and experienced commercial litigants'' - had urged Mr Weston to try to settle the case against Mr Packer and Mr Murdoch at the same time as seeking funding from a commercial litigation funder in case settlement talks failed.
''His financial interests are in the litigation continuing because that's the circumstance in which his revenue is maximised,'' Mr Sheahan said. ''Settlement in the short term is bad for business, to put it bluntly.''
The risk that the case would be dismissed ''must have been apparent from December 2008 and that should have prompted an attempt to settle,'' he said.
''Mr Weston appears to have lost the ability to bring sound, dispassionate, commercial judgment to bear on the critical problems affecting this administration,'' he said.
In his submissions, Mr Cotman said Optus had led no expert evidence to show the expenses were unreasonable or unjustified, given the scope and complexity of the suit against Mr Packer and Mr Murdoch.
The outcome was still unknown, and even if the case produced no dividends for creditors, Mr Weston should not be judged in hindsight. Settlement was ''highly strategic and highly subjective in nature,'' he said.
Justice Bergin will consider her decision after receiving supplementary submissions next week.

Don't Worry, You Don't Have To "Vaginally Seed" Your Baby, It's Totally Fine
Hey there, pregnant women! Out of all of the things that people tell you to do in your birthing plan, we are happy to report that the hot new birthing trend, "vaginal seeding," is not something you need to consider. At all. Ever.
According to a study conducted by the University of Puerto Rico, vaginal seeding is intended for Caesarean births and involves "rubbing your vaginal juices all over the baby's face, mouth, skin, and anus in order to let him experience the same bacteria as a vaginally delivered baby." In order to harvest said juices, simply place a strip of gauze inside the vagina an hour before actually delivering your bundle of joy and then rub it all over your baby's body after delivery, in an attempt to recreate the "vaginal flora" your child is missing out on from being delivered naturally. The supposed benefit is that the bacteria produced by your vagina during birth will help your baby's immune system and aid in fighting off autoimmune disorders and potential infections.
There's very little medical evidence that proves this practice to be effective. Jennifer Conti, an OB-GYN writing in Slate, says that in some studies, the act of vaginal seeding has proven to be harmful to babies.
For example, if the mother is Group B strep positive. Group B strep is a bacteria that is present in roughly 25 percent of all women in the U.S. and is the leading cause of meningitis and sepsis in the newborn's first week of life. Another example is the presence of chorioamnionitis, which is an infection of the baby's bag of waters that affects up to 70 percent of preterm deliveries, 13 percent of full-term deliveries, and 12 percent of C-sections.
Giving birth is a terror and a joy all in one, much like the long plod of life that follows. It makes sense that new mothers-to-be are on the lookout for additions to their birthing plans like this as a balm against the unpredictable. But, the best thing for yourself and your new baby is what the doctors have been telling you all along — breastfeeding, post-birth skin to skin contact and reducing the amount of C-sections performed in general. If you want to vaginally seed your newborn angel, feel free. But don't say we — and the medical community at large — didn't warn you.

Eight Warriors place in Eastern Area wrestling
Penn-Trafford kicked off its wrestling season by producing eight place winners and a fifth-place team finish in the 18-team Eastern Area Invitational Wrestling Tournament on Friday and Saturday at Gateway High School.
Though the Warriors did not have a champion in any weight class, the team's one finalist and six consolation finalists helped it to finish behind only team champion Kiski Area, Kittanning, Norwin and Belle Vernon.
Will Palarino was P-T's finalist in the 170-pound division after he pinned three consecutive opponents — two in under two minutes — to reach the final. Palarino fell in the last match to Zach Pinkas of Forest Hills, who won with a pin with 12 seconds remaining in the final period.
The Warriors had three wrestlers take third place with consolation final wins — Casey McGowan at 126, Will Karan at 145 and Devin Austin at 152.
McGowan lost a 9-3 decision in the semifinal to eventual champ Nate Russo of Belle Vernon but recovered to win two more matches, including a 4-0 win over Norwin's Cody Drum to take third.
Karan overcame a quarterfinal loss by winning four times in the consolation bracket, the last one coming over Cameron Jacobson of Allderdice, 3-2; and Austin followed the same path to third place as Karan, as he finished with a 2-1 win over Vince Leschak of North Allegheny.
Mike Risnear (132), Jack McGillick (195) and Ryan Winslow (220) both took their second loss of the tournament in consolation finals to secure fourth place in their weight classes, and Craig Slepsky scored a fall to win the fifth-place match at 160 pounds.
Alumni Night
The Penn-Trafford Wrestling Boosters will host Alumni Night and Junior Wrestling Appreciation Night on Wednesday during the team's home match against Latrobe.
The night will include a Santa and Mrs. Claus cookie reception in the gym lobby from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m. After that, alumni will be recognized, and junior wrestlers will parade around the mat prior to the varsity match at 7 p.m.

Chin-Length Bob
And here we see how yet another take on the classic bob can have its own flavor. The neutral tones of the haircolor are enhanced by the glossy finish of the hair. The chin-length bob cut is executed using a razor and tapers softly along the lower edge.
By contrast, the fringe is cut with a sharp, clean line which draws attention to the eyes and makes for a dramatic statement from an otherwise, sedate and subdued style.

Salvation Army Kettle Drive competition ends in shaved head
EUREKA – 'Tis the season for Salvation Army Kettle drives and this year, one kettler took it to the next level. The kettle drivers of the Eureka Salvation Army were challenged to a competition by their boss, Lieutenant Tim Danielson. Whoever brought in a $400 kettle, or more, could shave the lieutenant's head.
Well, one kettler, Gavin Smiley did just that. He raised $798, and this morning got to shave his boss' head.
"It says a couple things about the group but even more so about the community. This year our kettlers that we have out are doing such a better job of connecting with the community and being polite and courteous and bringing Christmas joy to people at all the stores. But more so the community has really stepped up this year and they are helping out this year in such a great way," Lieutenant Tim Danielson said.
Lieutenant Danielson says he plans to wear a Santa hat to cover the patchy shave. He also added he is going to have to up that $400 hundred dollar goal if they do the competition again next year.

The Rebel Room
UNM POSTGAME: Rebels fall into various Pits
Ryan Greene, Rob Miech and Ron Kantowski reflect on their experiences on Saturday night at The Pit, where UNLV fell to New Mexico in overtime, 73-69. The guys talk about the infamous 'ramp,' break down the effect of René Rougeau's technical foul and whether the Rebels' season now again comes down to three games in March.

- Mercury News: Lobos beat Rebels in overtime
Final, New Mexico wins 73-69
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- For the second time in five days, UNLV can only come away saying it had its chances.
The Rebels fell to New Mexico on Saturday night at The Pit in overtime, 73-69, as a Tony Danridge runner off the glass with 5.4 seconds to play was the ultimate decider. Danridge scored a game-high 26 points, with 24 of them coming after halftime.
The loss improved New Mexico to 15-9 overall and 6-3 in the Mountain West, while UNLV squandered a six-point halftime lead to fall to 17-6 and 5-4, respectively.
New Mexico took an emotional edge late in regulation, after a René Rougeau technical foul sent him out of the game with five fouls, and pushed New Mexico ahead after it converted four free throws.
UNLV had two chances in the final 12 seconds to win it in regulation, but Wink Adams and Mo Rutledge both missed looks. Adams missed a 3-pointer before Danridge hit his game-winner, and Tre'Von Willis stepped out of bounds with the ball while trying to push up the floor for the potential game-tying or game-winning score.
Adams led the Rebels with 18 points, while Willis scored 13. Rougeau had 12 points and 13 rebounds before his critical technical whistle, which came from arguing a personal foul he was charged with while going for an offensive rebound.
The Rebels are back in action on Tuesday for the first of two home games in the next week. They'll host TCU at 7 p.m., followed by Colorado State on Saturday night at 7 p.m.

End of regulation, game tied 59-59
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Another day, another overtime game. The Rebels are heading to extra minutes for the second time this week, tied with New Mexico, 59-59, at The Pit.
An Oscar Bellfield 3-pointer tied it up, 56-56, to help overshadow four New Mexico free throws resulting from the combination of a personal and technical foul against René Rougeau, which sent the Rebels senior packing with five fouls.
Wink Adams later would hit one of two free throws to tie the game again, 57-57, and Tre'Von Willis followed his own miss after hunting down the offensive board to put UNLV up by two again. Tony Danridge tied it yet again with an inside jumper, and a pair of late UNLV looks went off the iron -- one by Wink Adams, one by Mo Rutledge.
Wonder what the scenario would be right now without that four-point swing stemming from Rougeau's technical?
3:31, second half, game tied 56-56
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Well, New Mexico's second major push of the second half brought out the worst in René Rougeau, who earned a technical foul after being called for a personal while going for an offensive board. The two fouls sent him packing for the day with five fouls, and gave New Mexico, already in the bonus, four free throws.
Chad Toppert and Tony Danridge each hit a pair, but Oscar Bellfield came back with his first 3-pointer of the day in a huge possession, tying things up, 56-56, with 3:31 to play in The Pit.
Rougeau fouling out is huge. With Darris Santee and Brice Massamba combining for 2 minutes so far, he was holding down the paint, with 12 points and 13 rebounds.
We knew this one would come down to free throws. Now we'll truly see it, with both teams in the bonus. UNLV is 12-of-16 at the line, UNM is 17-of-19.
10:57, second half, UNLV leads 49-43
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Boy, I sure hope Mama Wink is watching this one right now back in Houston.
Adams had his moments against Arizona and BYU this year, but this is completely different.
After Tony Danridge's 11 straight points, Adams responded with arguably his best stretch of the season to this point, personally silencing a fuming crowd of 17,000-plus with 11 points of his own on 4-of-5 shooting, with the most recent bucket being a 3-pointer from straight on.
The Rebels have successfully withstood New Mexico's first push. Lets see if there's another in the final 10-plus minutes.
15:51, second half, New Mexico leads 37-35
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Remember that line about Chad Toppert being the only Lobo with more than one field goal at the half? Well, strike that.
Tony Danridge, who made the only shot he attempted in 16 minutes in the first half, has scored 11 of UNM's 14 second half points on 5-of-5 shooting, and the Lobos have grabbed a lead on the Rebels at 37-35.
He's scored driving hard, he's scored hitting mid-range jumpers. Meanwhile, it's lifted the New Mexico defense, as UNLV's only real means of production so far this half is the free throw line. The Rebels are 1-of-5 so far this half from the floor, and no shot has looked comfortable.
Halftime, UNLV leads 32-26
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- With one half in the books, UNLV has soundly neutralized what is known as one of the toughest road atmospheres in all of college hoops.
After the tip, the crowd at The Pit really only exploded once, and that was for a Phillip McDonld open court slam off of UNLV's first turnover of the game.
The Rebels had a chance to bump their lead a bit just before the half, but missed a pair of opportunities.
As for the ramp test, both teams took a spirited job up the tunnel, with UNLV's René Rougeau and New Mexico's Daniel Faris leading the way. Rougeau sensed it, and cut Faris off, sprinting ahead to be the first one up the tunnel.
That pretty much sums up the first half -- New Mexico's bigger and more strapping, but UNLV's grit has it ahead by a smidge.
Some numbers from the game's first 20 minutes ...
-Speaking of Rougeau, he is one rebound away from a double-double, with 10 points and 9 rebounds in 18 minutes. He also has two blocked shots.
-Tre'Von Willis has 10 points, including a pair of huge early 3-pointers. As a team, though, UNLV is just 3-of-10 from the floor.
-New Mexico is only 9-of-28 from the floor and 0-for-6 from long range.
-Darris Santee played 2 minutes, and Brice Massamba has yet to get off the bench. This team is just better small. They're getting tapped and deflected rebounds, and have a 20-19 edge in that category at the half.
-Only one Lobo -- Chad Toppert -- has more than one field goal. Daniel Farris is just 1-of-6 from the floor after scoring 19 points in the season's first meeting.
-Attendance tonight is 17,407, which is the largest crowd here since UNLV's visit a year ago.
-New Mexico is 2-3 this season when trailing at half.
3:34, first half, UNLV leads 29-2
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- New Mexico is just 9-of-25 from the floor so far, and while UNLV isn't beating down the door at 11-of-25, the Rebels are making their close looks. That's more than Miech's pick to click -- Daniel Faris -- can claim. On Daniel Faris Poster Night at The Pit, he's missing bunnies left and right.
Faris, who scored 19 at the Mack on Jan. 3, is 1-of-6 from the floor tonight.
Meanwhile, René Rougeau has 10 points and 7 rebounds for the Rebels. He's completely taken away the size advantage New Mexico has over UNLV.
7:20, first half, UNLV leads 24-19
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Darris Santee is set to check in for the first time with 7:20 to play in the first half, and the Rebels have hardly needed a big man so far. Who would? They've got Kendall Wallace.
Yes, you read that right. He's having a huge first half so far, having played 9 minutes off the bench, and has yet to connect on a 3-pointer. Wallace already has 3 rebounds, but just hit two tough layups. One was of the coast-to-coast variety, while the other came off of a screen and drew contact at the end.
The Rebels are playing crisp in a tough road environment, trailing in the rebound column right now by only 3 at 13-10, and they have yet to commit a turnover.
13:26, first half, UNLV leads 14-8
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Lon Kruger started freshman guard Oscar Bellfield over junior forward Darris Santee, and it spaced out the floor for UNLV considerably on the offensive end, with the Rebels having shot out to a 14-8 lead over New Mexico.
Tre'Von Willis is 2-of-3 from 3-point range so far, and René Rougeau is putting on an offensive show we haven't seen for a little while, with 8 points coming in a variety of ways.
More important, though, is that the Rebels are holding their own in the paint without the presence of a true big man -- sound familiar? It's been said before, and before ... and before some more.
Kendall Wallace had two huge offensive rebounds on the Rebs' last possession -- yes, Kendall Wallace -- and it resulted in a Rougeau bucket.
Still no sign of Santee or Massamba coming in. This could be the TCU rotation all over again.
Pregame, Part Deux
It's worth pointing out that UNV coach Steve Alford's busted out the red blazer tonight. He looks like the guy we rented a car from today at Avis. Just sayin'.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Hello everyone, a merry Saturday evening to you and yours and welcome to The Pit.
Honestly, as a first-time visitor, it feels a bit like we're in a bomb shelter. Ron Kantowski and Rob Miech described the site of The Pit on the inside and out on the way here, but you just can't believe it until you see it.
From the outside, it looks like your run-of-the-mill furniture warehouse. Inside, you walk down a steep ramp that's at least 100 feet long to get down to the floor (seen on your right, with Kendall Wallace playing the role of 'tiny spec atop the ramp').
Watching players come down for shootaround is almost comical. That said, if you play for New Mexico, you have no excuse to have weak calves. Just none. Talk about a nice built-in form of punishment for Lobos coach Steve Alford.
Anyways, it's allegedly going to be pretty nuts in here. It's a good sign for the home team that the upper rim of the arena is already filling up. Expect the 18,000-plus capacity to be pushed.
If you're a believer in trends, and you're a UNLV fan, tonight might be your night. The Rebels come into The Pit as 5-point underdogs, marking the fourth time they've been road dogs this season. So far, they're 3-0.
However, this is a much better New Mexico team than the one that played UNLV to a two-point decision on Jan. 3 in the Mack.
The Lobos hold foes to a league-low 39.6 field goal percentage. Add that to a difficult road environment, and this one is very tough to read, since UNLV's been so good coming off defeats this season.
Anyways, on to tonight's three big predictions ...
1) Picks to click ... Miech wants UNM's Daniel Faris, who had a game-high 19 points in the first meeting. I'm taking Tre'Von Willis, the Rebels' true road assassin.
2) Free throw shooting decides this thing Both teams shoot under 70 percent from the stripe. In what promises to be a physical game, whoever takes care of business at the line will win. Then again, that's not much of a stretch.
3) Scores ... I'm taking UNLV, 67-60. Miech will go with New Mexico, 56-50.
Final note, Findlay grad and New Mexico redshirt Curtis Dennis says hello to everyone at Findlay and all his friends back in Vegas.
Talk to you shortly.

The Honorable Leon Panetta
Secretary of Defense
The Pentagon
Washington, D.C. 20301-1000
Dear Secretary Panetta,
We write to express our deep concern over the Department of Defense's reported decision to purchase ten additional Mi-17 helicopters for the Afghan Security Forces from the Russian state-owned arms dealer Rosoboronexport, a firm that is enabling mass atrocities in Syria. We find this practice completely unacceptable and strongly urge you to reconsider your department's dealings with the firm.
For more than a year now Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has responded to peaceful demonstrations by his own people with a brutal crackdown, which has resulted in gross human rights violations, the use of force against civilians, torture, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary executions, sexual violence, and interference with access to medical treatment. According to U.N. estimates, at least 10,000 people in Syria have been killed since the violence began in March 2011, with some estimating as many as 15,000 have been killed. In just the past month the murder of civilians in Syria has sharply escalated, including the massacre of more than108 people in Houla and at least 78 in Qubair, most of them women and children.
Last year alone, Syria's top arms supplier, Russia, reportedly sold Damascus $1 billion in weapons thereby greatly enabling the Assad regime's murder of innocent men, women and children. Recently, on June 12, 2012, Secretary of State Clinton expressed concern that Russia is sending attack helicopters to Syria.
Yet, your department at the same time has procured 21 Mi-17 helicopters for the Afghan Security Forces through a no-bid contract with Rosoboronexport and is now reportedly planning on purchasing ten more helicopters from the firm this year. This has created an untenable situation in which the U.S. Government is criticizing Russia for selling helicopters to Syria while at the same time purchasing helicopters from Russia.
As you know, the Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act recently passed by the House includes a provision that would prohibit the Defense Department from awarding a future contract to supply helicopters to the Afghan Security Forces, directly or indirectly, to any entity controlled, directed or influenced by a state that has supplied weapons to Syria or a state-sponsor of terrorism. It would also require any such contract to be competitively bid.
Members of Congress have raised concerns over the Department of Defense's purchase of Mi-17 helicopters for a number of years and the consistent response from your department is that the Mi-17s are the only helicopters Afghan pilots know how to fly, are the ones they want and are the only helicopters capable of meeting mission requirements. We find this position completely unacceptable, particularly in the current environment.
The Department of Defense has not pursued a requirements-based competition to supply helicopters to the Afghan Security Forces. Instead, it has always been dictated that the Mi-17 was the only solution for the mission. We firmly believe there should be an open competition, particularly when there are other available American-made aircraft that have the capability to operate in Afghanistan. The use of such U.S. helicopters would increase interoperability with both U.S. and NATO forces in the region. Moreover, it is our understanding that the Department of Defense recently purchased U.S. made helicopters as new pilot training vehicles and that Afghan pilots are learning to fly and maintain U.S. made helicopters.
We firmly believe that the Department of Defense should not engage in contracts with companies arming the Assad regime in Syria and enabling his mass atrocities against his own people. Moreover, if we are going to spend U.S. taxpayer dollars to provide helicopters to the Afghan Security Forces, U.S. manufacturers should be able to compete for the opportunity to provide such helicopters. We therefore strongly urge you to ban any future contracts with Rosoboronexport, reconsider any future purchase of Mi-17s for Afghanistan or any country, and hold an open competition for the procurement of helicopters based upon valid requirements whereby U.S. manufacturers can compete.
We appreciate your prompt attention and look forward to working with you on this critical matter.

Syrian rebel force reported Tuesday that they have captured parts of the Sheikh Suleiman military base near Aleppo.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that opposition forces have been able to take the base after a near three-month siege.

The Sheikh Suleiman base is a key facility for Syrian President Bashar Assad. Its loss to the rebels indicates that the opposition now has a stronger grip on northern areas near the Turkish border.
Meanwhile, the Syrian military carried out an air strike on suburbs of Damascus, amid fierce clashed between Assad's forces and the rebels.
Also on Tuesday, the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) said that the number of Syrian refugees is now upwards of 500,000.
"According to UNHCR's latest figures for Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Turkey and North Africa, 509,559 Syrians are either already registered (425,160) or in the process of being registered," the Geneva-based UNHCR said.
The number of registered Syrian refugees region-wide rose by about 3,200 per day in November, and close to 1,000 Syrians crossed into Jordan during the past two nights alone, the report said.
UNHCR spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said that "In addition to those already registered or awaiting registration, most of these neighboring countries and North Africa also have large numbers of Syrians who have yet to come forward and seek help."

FTC Won't Involve Itself In Video Game Debate -- For Now
"Because the expressive content in video games has been considered protected speech under the First Amendment, there is a very narrow range of permissible government involvement with their advertising and marketing," Lydia Parnes, the FTC's director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection told the subcommittee yesterday. "The Commission will continue to monitor closely developments in the area and will initiate actions, such as the case challenging the marketing of San Andreas, when appropriate."
Parnes emphasized the need for the ESRB to thoroughly investigating releases, as its integrity is what parents are relying on when purchasing videogames for their children. Whenever a Hot Coffee incident or the more recent The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion re-rating occur, it means "practices, whether by game manufacturers or a third party, that undermine the integrity of this system must be addressed."

Medical Definition of Gesundheit
Gesundheit: Interjection used to wish "good health," especially to someone who has sneezed. In this situation, Gesundheit is roughly equivalent to "God bless you."
In German "Gesundheit" means "health" (and "sanity"). Wishing "good health" was once thought to hold off the illness that might follow a sneeze.
"God bless you" came into comparable usage to prevent the escape of the soul from the body, which was thought to occur with a sneeze. (Soullessness was believed to cause ill health.)

morituri is a CD ripper that aims for accuracy over speed. Its features are modeled to compare with Exact Audio Copy on Windows. It features support for MusicBrainz for metadata lookup, support for AccurateRip verification, support for cdparanoia, detection of sample read offset of drives, the ability to test and copy a rip, the ability to detect and rip Hidden Track One Audio, templates for file and directory naming, and tagging using GStreamer. Currently, it only supports lossless encoding and only has a command line client.
|music CD Ripping cdparanoia
|Operating Systems
Release Notes: This release fixes rip offset find. It sets album and track artist IDs properly. Ripping CD info no longer ejects the disc.
Release Notes: This release add configuration options for path filtering, support to filter pathnames for better filesystem support, an "%X" template variable for uppercase filename extension, ripping of CD information, and storing of catalog numbers and barcodes. It disambiguates releases with the same name but different catalog numbers/barcodes, fixes older pyxdg and some versions of pycdio, and uses all but the last track to find offsets.
Release Notes: This release adds %r/%R for the release type to use in the track/disc template, x for the extension to release the template, a plugins system for the logger, reading speed, cdparanoia, and cdrdao versions in the logger, "rip cd rip --logger" to specify the logger, "rip drive analyze" to detect whether we can defeat audio cache behavior, and "rip image retag --release-id" to specify the release id to tag with. "rip drive list" now shows the configured offset and audio cache defeating. This release stores drive offsets and cache defeating in the configuration file.
Release Notes: This release shortens really long filenames if needed, supports multi-disc ripping with musicbrainz NGS, adds %y for the release year in templates, adds a "rip cd rip --release-id" option to select the exact release, allows track and disc templates to create files in different directories, works out relative paths from cue/m3u files to audio files, and updates the mp3vbr profile.
Release Notes: UTF-8/Unicode handling fixes. Improved error handling. Ignore tags for ALAC and WAV. Workarounds for GStreamer flacparse bugs. A change in how paths are referenced in .cue files. Properly interprets AccurateRip results; no more assertions on unexpected ordering of results. A debug command has been added.

LONDON (Sep. 23)
An international legal conference, made up of 43 eminent lawyers from 20 countries, has concluded that a new wave of officially-sponsored anti-Semitism is "rampant" in the Soviet Union. The two-day meeting here also concluded that the Soviet authorities were breaking their own laws in harassing persons who have applied for emigration visas, Israeli Supreme Court Justice Haim Cohen said today.
Cohen said old anti-Semitic theories were being resurrected in official and semi-official publications as part of the new anti-Jewish campaign. He said the Soviet Union's official anti-Zionist position was another term for anti-Semitism.
Sponsors of the conference stressed that the majority of the participants were not Jewish and that the two-day session was the first time that the position of Soviet Jews was treated from the legal standpoint rather than just the humanitarian.
Among the participants were Arthur Goldberg a former United States Supreme Court Justice and Ambassador to the United Nations, and Gaston Monnerville, a former president of the French Senate. The conference statement will be sent to Chief Soviet Prosecutor Roman Rudenko along with a proposal that Soviet and Western lawyers should cooperate to protect human rights in the USSR.

Staying Real
With Pistons at 0-8, Frank works to fix ills without undermining confidence
Football isn't basketball and college kids aren't paid professionals, but the message resonates with Lawrence Frank as the Pistons are mired in a 0-8 start heading into tonight's game at Philadelphia.
"It's always easier to be harder when you're winning," Frank said after the morning shootaround at the Wells Fargo Center. "The reality is you learn from losing, you really do. When you win, guys naturally feel good about themselves but there's also a complacency element. That's when, as a coach, you're on them harder."
But it's a balancing act, too.
"When you lose, they have to know why you're losing. At the same time, confidence is an important part of this game. So there's a delicate balance between being real and also making sure that guys are confident enough to get the job done. Where you get confidence is through demonstrated behavior. Once you're doing it and you're doing it right, you get confident about it. You can't tell a guy who can't shoot at all, 'You're a great shooter, man, keep on shooting.' He's still going to miss as many shots because he can't shoot, so you've got to be real."
Staying consistent in approach, regardless of outcome, is Frank's hallmark. But there comes a time when action is demanded, too. For a coach who preaches habits and staying "true to the process," is it advisable to make a move when times are tough and risk sending a message to players that the blueprint is being abandoned? There is a difference, after all, between staying true to your convictions and turning a blind eye to apparent problems.
It was 13 games into last season, when the Pistons were 3-10, when Frank made his first lineup tweak: Ben Wallace in at power forward for Jonas Jerebko. With a series of physical, rebound-eating power forwards coming up, including Luis Scola and Kevin Love, Frank wanted the more physical Wallace next to Greg Monroe – even though the Pistons had won their previous game at Charlotte.
Ten games later, with the Pistons at 4-19, he turned to Jason Maxiell, this time the move coming not after a win but following three consecutive road losses with an average margin of defeat of 23 points.
That move clicked. The Pistons lost that night at New Jersey to hit their low-water mark, but played .500 basketball over the season's final 42 games.
But Frank has said it was less about personnel moves, other than the chemistry those moves might have triggered, and more about mind-set.
"When you look at where it turned for us after those first 24 games, we made the third-biggest jump in the NBA in most defensive ratings that are significant to wining," he said. "Same thing will happen here. Once we make that full commitment to doing it, we'll get our jump."
The Pistons will make one lineup change for the Philly game, but it was a move forced on Frank. Rodney Stuckey is out with flulike symptoms; Kyle Singler will start in his place.
"It's just a different way to approach the game," said Singler, who had become first off the bench for Frank for either Stuckey or Tayshaun Prince. "It's something I'm used to, starting. It's just a great opportunity for me to come in and start from where Rodney's role is on the team and just help as much as I can."
Whether Singler's insertion into the starting lineup can be a catalyst for change or other moves are required, Frank won't be timid in his attempt to correct flaws.
"As long as you're direct and honest about whatever you do," Frank said. "I don't think you can live in fear of anything. You can't live in fear of making mistakes, you can't live in fear of how it's going to be taken."

Where: Turner Field
Did you know: Going into this series, the Dodgers' 3.78 ERA since 2006 was the lowest in the major leagues.
Numbers game: 21-6– Scoring advantage for Dodgers' opponents in the ninth inning or later this season.
After poor results in starts before and after his DL stint because of a calf injury, Capuano was outstanding in his most recent outing. He allowed just one run on five hits with seven strikeouts in 61/3 innings in a victory over the Miami Marlins last weekend. That improved his numbers to 1-1 with an 8.03 ERA in three starts this season (he also pitched out of the bullpen to start the season).
- Vs. Braves: 5-3, 2.75 ERA
- At Turner Field: 2-0, 3.34 ERA
- Loves to face: Freddie Freeman, 2 for 13 (.154), 5 strikeouts
- Hates to face: Justin Upton, 5 for 14 (.357), 2B, 3B, HR
Primarily a shortstop at Santa Ana College, Medlen was converted to pitcher by the Braves after they drafted him in 2006 and made the big leagues as a reliever. He moved into the starting rotation last season and went 9-0 with a 0.97 ERA in 12 starts. This year, the Braves have made it difficult for him by scoring two runs or fewer in four of his eight starts. But Medlen has allowed seven home runs in his past six starts, including three in a loss to the San Francisco Giants last Sunday.
- Vs. Dodgers: 2-0, 2.30 ERA
- At Turner Field: 7-7, 2.55 ERA
- Loves to face: Juan Uribe, 0 for 6, 2 strikeouts
- Hates to face: Andre Ethier, 4 for 6 (.667), 2 doubles

Amazon's EC2 cloud computing service suffered its fourth power outage in a week on Tuesday, with some customers in its US East Region losing service for about an hour. The incident was triggered when a vehicle crashed into a utility pole near one of the company's data centers, and a transfer switch failed to properly manage the shift from utility power to the facility's generators.
Amazon Web Services said a "small number of instances" on EC2 lost service at 12:05 p.m. Pacific time Tuesday, with most of the interrupted apps recovering by 1:08 p.m. The incident affected a different Availability Zone than the ones that experienced three power outages last week.
The sequence of events was reminiscent of a 2007 incident in which a truck struck a utility pole near a Rackspace data center in Dallas, taking out a transformer. The outage triggered a thermal event when chillers struggled to restart during multiple utility power interruptions.
Crash Triggers Utility Outage
"Tuesday's event was triggered when a vehicle crashed into a high voltage utility pole on a road near one of our datacenters, creating a large external electrical ground fault and cutting utility power to this datacenter," Amazon said in an update on its Service Health Dashboard. "When the utility power failed, most of the facility seamlessly switched to redundant generator power."
A ground fault occurs when electrical current flows into the earth, creating a potential hazard to people and equipment as it seeks a path to the ground.
"One of the switches used to initiate the cutover from utility to generator power misinterpreted the power signature to be from a ground fault that happened inside the building rather than outside, and immediately halted the cutover to protect both internal equipment and personnel," the report continued. "This meant that the small set of instances associated with this switch didn't immediately get back-up power. After validating there was no power failure inside our facility, we were able to manually engage the secondary power source for those instances and get them up and running quickly."
Switch Default Setting Faulted
Amazon said the switch that failed arrived from the manufacturer with a different default configuration than the rest of the data centers' switches, causing it to misinterpret this power event. "We have already made configuration changes to the switch which will prevent it from misinterpreting any similar event in the future and have done a full audit to ensure no other switches in any of our data centers have this incorrect setting," Amazon reported.
Amazon Web Services said Sunday that it is making changes in its data centers to address a series of power outages last week. Amazon EC2 experienced two power outages on May 4 and an extended power loss early on Saturday, May 8. In each case, a group of users in a single availability zone lost service, while the majority of EC2 users remained unaffected.

A clever celebrity endorsement can turn an everyday product into an international success. Think about Kylie Jenner's lip kit — it wasn't released that long ago, but it's already a major hit, all because Kylie's a killer promoter. She's constantly tweeting, Instagramming and Snapchatting all about the product line. Not to mention all the promo it gets on her app! Without Kylie, it would just be another makeup brand at Sephora; with her, it's a worldwide craze. (BTW, even if you haven't gotten your hands on her kit, you can still nail a Kylie-inspired lip. Just putting that out there.)
That all being said, not every celebrity endorsement is guaranteed gold. Tons of stars get behind products, promote like crazy and end up completely mortified when the products flop. Even more humiliating: when stars actually design the products that fail miserably. Some celebrity fashion lines are million-dollar industries — actually, Jessica Simpson's line is worth more than $1 billion! — but others are doomed to fail. We've rounded up ten celebrities who tried so hard to make their fashion lines work, but ultimately, everything crashed and burned. Take a look:
Miley Cyrus
During the height of her Hannah Montana years, the multi-talented star teamed up with famed designer Max Azria for a Walmart line. (Yes, Max Azria designs beautiful clothes for BCBG; no, the Walmart collection did not have any resemblance to BCBG.)
The line did pretty well for a few years, but things started to fall apart when toxic amounts of lead were found in the purses. And the necklaces. And the bracelets. Needless to say, it was a nightmare.

OMG, fashion critics despised Bey's fashion line — and we don't blame them! The clothes looked a lot like Ed Hardy designs, with huge, obnoxious patterns and blaring neon colors. Major fashion reviewers called the line "painful to look at" and the "ugliest, cheapest-looking clothes I've ever seen." In other words: It didn't go well. The line is all but forgotten now.
Photo: WENN
Lindsay Lohan
During one of her many attempts at a career revival, Lindsay attempted to launch a leggings line. Lace leggings, mesh leggings, zipper leggings... You get the idea. Unfortunately, she ran into some legal trouble with the licensing company, and the line quickly dissolved. Probably not the worst failure of Lindsay's life, but one on the long list, you know?
Photo: WENN
Amanda Bynes
This is an older pic of Amanda because, as we all know, the girl's had some rough struggles over the past few years. But back in the mid-2000s, she was fun and fashionable! So it made total sense when she launched her own clothing line. But even so, the products didn't sell well, and then the real kicker: Her whole line was stocked in a store that went bankrupt. Well, at least the embarrassment's not totally on her.
Photo: WENN
Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo has found major success in the fashion world. But several years ago, her line was a total don't. It was called Sweetface via Kohl's and people hated it. Like, really hated it. They thought it was overpriced and cheap-looking. Kohl's halted production in 2009 after awful sales.
Photo: WENN
Lauren Conrad
LC currently has a gorgeous and very successful line for Kohl's — good for her! But before she hit it big there, she floundered in the fashion world. Her "Lauren Conrad Collection" debuted in 2008 — to awful reviews. Pro fashion critics said none of the clothes fit right on the runway, and once the line hit boutiques, customers called the clothes "unflattering" and "boring." The whole line was pulled from the racks within six months.
Photo: WENN
Mandy Moore
Back in 2005, Mandy launched a line called Mblem and it actually had some cute stuff. She and many of her celebrity friends were spotted in the apparel. It didn't go over so well with actual customers, though, and shut down after just a few years. Sad face.
Photo: WENN
Lil Wayne
This one's humiliating because there was so much buildup leading to absolutely nothing. For months, Weezy was hyping his upcoming clothing line, Foreign Money. But when it came time to actually debut, there was nothing there. Sucks.
Photo: WENN
Avril Lavigne
This one's puzzling. Avril was never really known for having a great sense of fashion, and her line for Kohl's was unpopular with girls and parents alike: Everything was dark, almost sinister-looking and covered in skulls. It came to a much-needed end in 2008.
Photo: WENN
Katherine Heigl
Katherine was perhaps feeling a bit over-confident during her peak Grey's Anatomy success. Since she played a doctor on TV, she launched the Katherine Heigl Collection — a line of fashion-forward medical scrubs. Real-world doctors and nurses were clearly not on board, as the line was pulled after less than a month.

What is Healthier Together and who is leading on it?
Healthier Together is part of a much wider piece of work being carried out by the NHS, local authorities and other organisations to improve the health and social care system across Greater Manchester. We all believe the people who live in Bolton and throughout Greater Manchester deserve the best possible care. Healthier Together is the NHS-led part of this work.
The Healthier Together review is being carried out by a small NHS team on behalf of the 12 GP-led clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in Greater Manchester. The CCGs make decisions on which health services to buy on behalf of local people.
All GP practices in Bolton belong to the Bolton CCG, and the board is made up of GPs, a nurse, a hospital doctor, managers and lay representatives who represent the wider community. Bolton CCG will be making sure it continues to act in the interests of the Bolton community, as well as looking at ways of working with colleagues throughout Greater Manchester to improve the lives of all residents.
Bolton NHS Foundation Trust is also a really important partner which is fully involved in these discussions, and we are also liaising closely with Bolton Council, and a wide range of other organisations, including patient groups.
Saving lives by providing care in the right place, at the right time
In so many ways Greater Manchester is a wonderful place to live, work and play and it is world famous for many things. But people here still suffer from worse health than in many other parts of the country. There are many very complicated reasons for this, such as high levels of deprivation, and a lot of hard work has taken place to improve things over the years.
However, we also know if we make some important changes to the way we do things across the NHS in Greater Manchester we can save and improve thousands more lives. Hundreds of these will be the lives of Bolton residents. This could mean ourselves or our families and friends — so this really is something we should care about.
The NHS was set up in 1948 and it's a bit like a member of the family. Most people are proud of it, even though they sometimes criticise it. But the problem is so much has changed over the past 65 years, all our hospitals are under increasing pressure due to rising demand on services and increasing costs such as new technologies innovative treatments and rising utility bills. We need to act decisively to preserve, and in some cases improve, standards of quality and care.
For example, it's been widely publicised that across the country people are more likely to die if admitted to hospital at the weekend than during the week. This is especially the case in an emergency situation. We are sure you agree everyone deserves the same care no matter what time of day or night it is, so in Greater Manchester we want to organise all our NHS services in a way that provides you all with the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
Hospital changes, not hospital closures
If we are to transform healthcare in the way we think we need to, the roles of hospitals are likely to change, with some taking on a wider role of "centres of excellence" for specialist care. Most of the waste that occurs within the NHS is because in the past we have tried to provide every service in every location.
For example, emergency general surgery is carried out in 10 acute hospitals in Greater Manchester, but not always with a consultant present or a guaranteed admission to a critical care bed — and yet we know this saves lives. So providing some specialist services in fewer places is actually a good thing for patients.
There are other recent positive examples. 200 lives have already been saved as a result of centralising stroke services across Greater Manchester, rather than having every single hospital provide these services. Rehabilitation of patients has also drastically improved with people making a better recovery from strokes because of the expertise of the people treating them.
Isn't it safer to keep all services as local as possible?
Naturally people worry that in an emergency situation a longer journey to hospital reduces people's chances of survival. This is not the case. Modern ambulances are like moving hospitals, and many lives are saved due to the care administered by paramedics. Local A&E services also do their best for patients, but they cannot always provide the right care.
The case of the former Bolton Wanderers footballer Fabrice Muamba is a topical example of why getting to a hospital as quickly as possible in an emergency situation is not always the answer. As Bolton people will know, Fabrice collapsed on the pitch due to an undiagnosed heart condition and his chances of survival looked bleak. However, his ambulance took him past the nearest hospitals in favour of the one that would give him the specialist care he needed, and he made an amazing recovery. Fabrice is a famous example, but we know that in general receiving specialist care can make a huge difference to survival rates — patients with heart conditions who are admitted to specialist cardiology wards have 20 per cent lower mortality rates than those treated elsewhere. We need to ask ourselves whether Fabrice would have survived if he had been taken to the nearest hospital. This is what we mean when we say it is the quality of the care that is received, not where it is received, that is the most important issue when it comes to saving lives.
We know where people truly believe that a facility is a centre of excellence as they do with the Christie Hospital, they are willing to travel longer distances to get what they perceive to be the best possible treatment. We believe that this would work well for a number of other serious conditions.
What does Healthier Together mean for Royal Bolton Hospital?
There has been a lot of publicity about the financial problems that Bolton NHS Foundation Trust is having. Only recently, consultants have been asked to take a pay cut, and the unions have been worried about job losses. Of course people in Bolton are concerned about this, and some people are frightened the hospital or the A&E department might close.
Royal Bolton is situated in a very central location, serves a wide community and provides a vital service — so talk of closures is unhelpful and misleading. But as I have said, some changes are needed at all our hospitals, including Bolton, to make sure services are safe and affordable.
Better care away from hospitals
Most of us want to live and die at home, but all too often frail elderly people end up going into residential care and dying in hospital due to inadequate provision for caring for them in their communities. Patients with long-term but non-urgent health conditions are also admitted to hospital for the same reasons. A key part of the Healthier Together programme will be to enable changes to take place to make sure that these patients can be well cared for in the community. This includes better use of IT and communications, including better advice on self-care so that people can manage their own health at home, with the right support to do this. This will allow them to remain independent and in control. This will also relieve the pressure on our hospitals, leaving them free to focus on treating those who really need to access the specialist care and treatment that only they can provide.
Most people want much greater access to their GP practices, some of which still open only during traditional working hours. This needs to change — we live in a 24/7 society and when people are ill they need to be able to access health care when and where they need it. This is an area I am interested in and involved with and am working with GPs across Greater Manchester to look at how we can achieve this. We also want to see far more emphasis on "prevention not cure" to help people take more responsibility for their own health so they don't get ill in the first place.
No decisions about you without you
Healthier Together and Bolton CCG are talking about what the future NHS should look like in Bolton and we cannot make the changes we need without the input and involvement of a wide range of partners and the public. Any major changes to hospital services in Bolton or anywhere else in Greater Manchester would require a full public consultation, but we won't be at this stage until the summer. What we have done and will continue to do is to make sure that people have the opportunity to help us shape our proposals before we get to that stage. Along with colleagues from Bolton, I will be discussing all of the issues around the programme and asking people what care they would like to see for themselves and their loved ones. To get involved in this or other events contact us at healthiertogethergm.nhs.uk I'd love to hear your views, so do get in touch.
- A public workshop is being held at Bolton Town Hall from 6pm until 8pm on Thursday, January 24.

Thank you for your question. To answer your question directly, ECT is typically used for Depression and Bipolar disorder. It is not typically used for schizophrenia, only as a last resort. The risks of ECT include confusion, exhaustion and loss of brain cells. The theory behind ECT and Schizophrenia is that ECT will reduce the amount of dopamine, but this type of treatment is very controversial, especially for treating schizophrenia
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
