FIFA 14 is rumoured to be included with the Xbox One in Europe, "senior games industry sources" have told MCV.
The report states that the game will be bundled at no extra cost, and is expected to be announced later today.
In what is likely to be the same story, CVG reports that the Xbox One will be bundled with a "major third-party title" in every Xbox One launch system across Europe.
CVG adds that this bundle is the "unique Xbox One exclusive" deal that Microsoft exec Phil Spencer revealed was being saved for a Gamescom announcement.
We're likely to find out if all this is accurate in a matter of hours, with Microsoft showing the Xbox One to press later this morning.
The inclusion of FIFA 14 would be a major draw for the Xbox One, but let's not forget that even with the bundled game the PS4 and the £50 cost of FIFA would be £30 cheaper than the Xbox One.

An abbreviated effort this week, as the fair is keeping us all hopping. A visit to the flower building at the fair reminded me I started this column a couple of months back and never got back to it.
We were having a discussion around the newsroom the other day about a family with two daughters, each named after flowers. The family also has a son, who is thankfully not named in this vein.
But it got me to thinking about what a manly flower name might be, had the parents elected to go that route. First and best idea so far is Crokus.
King's Spear is certainly manly, but doesn't work really as a name. Ditto Madder, Mandrake and Nettle.
Other possibilities are Aster, Boronia, Eric John, Filbert, Phlox, Ranunculus, Saxicola, Tracelium, Watsonia, Sage, Valerian and Lumex.
Poor Lumex.
Some flowers are even too pretty sounding for girls' names, though I've heard of some using them. Ambrosia, Candytuft, Caspia, Dahlia, Fuchsia, Hyacinth, Wisteria and Zinnia.
Among the standard girls' names are Heather, Ivy, Lily, Daisy, Camellia, Holly, Iris, Jasmine, Myrtle, Petunia, Pansy, Rose and Veronica.
I tend to enjoy strange words and generally have a sense of humor around language.
Good thing I've never been asked to name a child, else there's a distinct possibility young Whortleberry Thompson would be struggling through life somewhere right now.

nodded in understanding. People of action, she had noticed, always liked to
remain as such. Giving Z a reassuring smile, she replied, "While I'm sure
there are ways for you to use your talents to help others, anyone here will be
happy to help if you need it." By the sounds of things, she hasn't had an
easy life thus far, much like everyone that came here. That was partly the
reason why Galadriel loved living here: the very land itself strove to heal
your past hurts. How could someone not want to live by example?She
chuckled, picking up a mug herself before placing a candy cane in, following
Lar's previous motions. "I agree; Maggie's hot chocolate may be one of the
best I've ever had."

perked up as Zarae opened the door. Just one of the people he was looking for! "Yes,
I'm here!" he exclaimed, marching himself in rather proudly. "I got
an early Kuh-rist-muss gift, and I can go out in the snow and not get cold! Or
wet..." He shivered, the feathers on his body ruffling in the process, as
if remembering something horrible, before flying up to rest himself on one of
his favorite "moving perches". Zarae would notice that as Py landed
on her shoulder, the gentle heat from his talons warmed her skin considerably,
as Lar's gift remained in effect.

preoccupied with building her nest (as Craig liked to call it) for the
children's safety and everyone else's convenience, while soothing a fussy
Jacob, only smiled in greeting to Luc as she set to work. Craig watched this
with a small sense of awe, not for the first time. He always thought he'd love
to see her with his children, but could never fully picture her as a mother
until now.Distracted
by Luc speaking up, he finished removing his eldest son's hat and gloves,
smiling himself. "They are, thanks," he replied. "And we're
fine; I wouldn't want to distract you from..." Craig trailed off, nearly
finishing with 'your own meal', but what he saw of Luc's actions couldn't be
classified as that. Following his friend's line of sight, the answer came to
him. Ah... I know that look... It
could nearly be funny-- first Lar, now Luc-- if he hadn't experienced that for
that I mean to pry, but..." Lowering his voice enough to keep the
conversation between the two of them, he added, "Woman troubles?"

Agreed! :-) Well said"75% Feminist
You are certainly a feminist - whether you know it or not.
You believe in gender equality, at least most of the time. You also believe there are a few exceptions."
I agree with my assessment. I believe that men and women are different and should respect each other, not overtake/belittle each other. I'm one of those feminists who would like a "traditionally" masculine partner, one who's the breadwinner, can fix things around the house and car (and I also need to learn those skills), while I'm more in charge of the domestic duties. That being said, our strengths should compliment each other. I also don't think women should aspire to be 100% like men, because what does that say about femininity and women in general? That we're somehow not good enough as we are so we have to be treated and seen just like men? The whole "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mentality is useless and serves no benefit to women long-term.
If a woman chooses to live her life single, no kids and be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, then go for it! If she chooses to be a stay-at-mom, good for her! I see a lot of today's feminists demeaning women who choose a more traditional lifestyle, which is one reason I'm reconsidering my involvement with the feminist movement.
A true feminist would never degrade another woman's CHOICE.

Want to keep your kids reading this summer? The great staff in the children's book section at Quail Ridge Books & Music in Raleigh recommends these new books for kids.
Here's what they recommend:
- Traction Man and the Beach Odyssey (Knopf $16.99) by Mini Grey takes the ever-brave Traction Man and his pet Scrubbing Brush to the shore with their boy and Grandma. Her new puppy, Truffles, sets a series of mishaps, adventures, and reunions in motion. Rescue at sea! Castle earthquakes! Beach-Time Brenda and her accessories! Life is always treacherous by the ocean. You can see why Mini Grey is an award-winning author/illustrator in England. For ages 4 and up.
- Quail Ridge's Rosemary adores Stay: The True Story of Ten Dogs (Scholastic $16.99) by Michaela Muntean. "If you're a dog lover, an optimist, a believer in second chances, you'll love Stay. A performer who grew up in the circus must reinvent himself to continue in the circus life he knows. Ten dogs with troubled pasts (at least deemed "troubled" by others) find a second act with Luciano. He may be the most intuitive dog trainer alive. And I defy anyone to read Kate DiCamillo's touching introduction without crying. Photographs of Luciano and his endearing Pound Puppies bring them even more to life." For ages 5 and up.
- You'll eye your breakfast cereal in a new way after reading Adam Rex's Cold Cereal (Balzer & Bray $16.99). Scott sees things no one else can – and his latest discovery is Mick, a leprechaun on the run from the Goodco (not very!) cereal company. Is it out for world domination by way of tasty flakes and clusters? Get it for the very clever dust jacket alone! Ages 9 and up.
- N.C. author John Claude Bemis (The Clockwork Dark Trilogy) debuted a new fantasy with an ecological theme recently: The Prince Who Fell From the Sky (Random House $16.99). In a post-apocalyptic world now covered in forest, a flying machine crashes and a child of the long-gone "Skinless Ones" emerges. A bear chooses to shelter the human cub and find him safety. The forest animals, especially the ruling Wolves, do not want the return of humans, who once damaged their world. Is Casseomae risking the animals' way of life in protecting the child? Ages 9 and up. Autographed first editions available.
- Jennifer Nielsen's The False Prince (Scholastic $17.99) begins a medieval adventure trilogy, The Ascendency. A nobleman with questionable motives gathers four orphans to compete to impersonate the long-lost prince. Without a ruler, civil war is about to break out. But is Conner entirely altruistic? And what of the street-wise Sage, who realizes his only hope to survive is to win the role. Ages 12 and up.
- Michael Scott concludes his saga of Nicholas Flamel, which began with The Alchemyst, in The Enchantress (Random House $18.99). Time is running out for Nicholas and Perenelle, and both San Francisco and the human race are in peril. Which side of destiny are Josh and Sophie on? For ages 12 and up.
- The always popular John Feinstein has a new entry in his sports mystery series. In Rush For the Gold: Mystery at the Olympics (Knopf $16.99), the Summer Olympics are here, and this time young reporter Susan is part of the story – she's swimming in her first Games. Stevie is reporting on her instead of with her. As agents, media, and sponsors swarm, his instincts tell him something is not right. With serious money to be made, is someone trying to fix the outcome? Ages 11 and up.
- The Simple Joys of Grandparenting (Skyhorse $19.95) by Abigail Gehring is an all-inclusive package of delights for new grandparents. Stories, nursery rhymes, activities – all you need to enchant, entertain, and maybe spoil (a little). From Carol, a grandma of three: "This is an unusually charming and practical compilation – highly recommended!"
Quail Ridge on Wade Avenue in Raleigh offers regular events and programs for kids, including a 10 a.m. Monday storytime for preschoolers. For details about its events, these books and others, click here.

PTA Urges State Govt To Register Govt Secondary School Makera As SSCE Exam Center
Following the recent meeting,The Parents Teachers Association (PTA) of Government Secondary School Makera in Kaduna, has urged the State Government to register the school as examination centre for Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations (SSCE).
According to the PTA Chairman, Alhaji
Mohammadu Musa, students from the
school, established seven years ago, had to
register and sit for WAEC and NECO
He said for the past three years, all the
students that went through the school had
to be registered with other schools to
enable them sit for the examinations.
"Currently, another set of 250 students will
be ready for the examination next year.
"If the centre is not provided, we will have
to register them elsewhere to sit for the
WAEC examination," Musa said.
According to him, the PTA had written to
the state Ministry for Education to facilitate
the registration process.
"The ministry replied us that we will have to
make provision for examination hall, library
and laboratories.
"As am talking to you now, the government
has provided the school with a laboratory
and the PTA on its own part built
examination hall and provided a class to
serve as library.
"We are going back to notify the ministry
that the PTA, with support from the school's
community, has provided all the necessary
facilities needed for the centre," he added.

There is a fundamental shift underway in how consumers interact with businesses. According to research from Ovum on consumer preferences for customer service, the use of email, Web chat, Web self-service, social media, mobile and SMS for customer service has more than doubled in the past two years. At the same time, consumers still rely upon picking up the telephone to call an agent to resolve the same issue.
Companies need to meet the needs of cross-channel customers that often seek resolution online, and then jump to traditional channels when their initial needs are not met. Cloud-based contact center solutions are giving companies of all sizes a tremendous amount of flexibility to engage customers across voice, Web, social and mobile channels. Here are five tips, identified by Genesys, for deploying a social and multichannel cloud contact center.

Heather Mills accused of lying about Paul McCartney hitting her in lawsuit
Heather Mills's former publicists claim she made false allegations of violence against her ex-husband Sir
Paul McCartney.
Mills faces a lawsuit from PR company Parapluie, which says she made untrue claims about the musician – including that he used to beat her while drunk or on drugs.
The court documents say Mills told one of her publicists: 'I could kill [Paul], last night he tried to choke me. The marriage is over.'
Mills was apparently suspected by staff at the company of making up the stories to win sympathy.
The lawsuit, obtained by gossip website TMZ, also alleges she was invited to appear on US TV show Celebrity Apprentice but would do so only if its star, Donald Trump, guaranteed she would win, which he refused to do.
Mills, 43, is also accused of lying when she said all the money she earned from Dancing With The Stars in 2007 would go to charity, with Parapluie claiming only a portion of the cash did.
The PR company is suing for unpaid fees of more than £103,000.
Mills and 68-year-old former Beatle McCartney divorced in 2008, with Mills awarded £24.3million in the settlement.
The pair have a seven-year- old daughter, Beatrice.

RAY SUAREZ: Sixty-six-year-old Kaing Guek Eav stood in a Phnom Penh courtroom today and said the words many Cambodians have waited to here for 30 years.
KAING GUEK EAV, Khmer Rouge official (through translator): May I be permitted to apologize to the survivors of the regime and also to the families of the victims whose loved ones died so brutally at S-21? I would like those people to please know — and I would like to apologize and consider my intention that I have not asked you to forgive me now, but I will attempt to do so later.
RAY SUAREZ: S-21 was the prison Kaing ran during the Khmer Rouge, which ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. Sixteen thousand people are alleged to have been tortured or executed at S-21; that number was but a tragic fraction of the regime's final toll.
Kaing, known by his noms de guerre, Duch, is the first to answer for the crimes of the Khmer Rouge. He's the least senior of five regime officials who will appear before a U.N.-backed genocide tribunal.
The court's main purpose is to determine the facts of the Khmer Rouge's reign. It may issue verdicts and sentences. None of the defendants will be executed; Cambodia now has no death penalty.
That's a far cry from the Khmer Rouge era. Under its leader, Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge regime killed 1.7 million people, one-fifth of the entire Cambodian population, in pursuit of a brutally idealized communist state.
The regime was deposed by the neighboring Vietnamese in 1979. Pol Pot died in 1998 and never had to answer for his crimes.
Duch was the regime's most notorious jailer and torturer. Yesterday, the first day of the trial, a court official detailed the purpose of the prison he operated.
COURT OFFICIAL (through translator): The primary role of S-21 was to implement the party political line regarding the enemy according to which prisoners absolutely had to be smashed. The term "smashed" was used and widely understand to mean "killed." Every prisoner who arrived at S-21 was destined for execution.
RAY SUAREZ: If those prisoners were not killed at S-21, they were often sent to sites known as the killing fields. Robert Petit, of the prosecutors, told what happened there.
ROBERT PETIT, Prosecutor: The victims were brought to pits dug beforehand. There, they were killed by a blow to the base of the neck using steel clubs. The bodies would be kicked into the holes, their handcuffs taken off their lifeless hands, their bellies sliced open, and the pits covered by dirt.
RAY SUAREZ: Duch, who was found posing as an aid worker and detained 10 years ago, is the only one of the five defendants to acknowledge his role in the genocide. His trial is expected to last four months.
Trial delayed for political reasons
RAY SUAREZ: For more on the Cambodian tribunal, we turn to Gregory Stanton, director of the Cambodian Genocide Project, which was established to collect Khmer Rouge documents, and called for the trials. He was also a State Department official during the 1990s.
Loung Ung was born in Cambodia. Her parents disappeared in the Khmer Rouge period, but she and five siblings survived. She left Cambodia in 1980 and now lives in Cleveland. She's the author of two memoirs, "First They Killed My Father" and "Lucky Child."
Gregory Stanton, just in the past few weeks, the 30th anniversary of the overthrow of the Khmer Rouge was marked. How come it's taken so long to try significant members of the regime?
GREGORY STANTON, Cambodian Genocide Project: Well, during the Cold War, it was a standoff between the West, which didn't want a trial because it might legitimize the Vietnamese-backed regime in Phnom Penh that had overthrown the Khmer Rouge, and the Soviet Union didn't want to repeat a trial that they had, they said, held in 1979, but that was widely seen as a show trial.
So you had a freeze, if you will, in the legal system. It took the end of the Cold War before negotiations could bring about the creation of this tribunal.
RAY SUAREZ: Loung Ung, during those years where no bringing to justice was going on, did the trail to some perpetrators grow cold? Were people allowed to escape their crimes in the meanwhile?
LOUNG UNG, author: Yes, justice delayed has been -- is something that we need. I think the people who are being on trial, I mean, there's never going to be any justice for Cambodians, not for the 1-point million to 2 million Cambodians who were killed during the Khmer Rouge regime.
But this is an opportunity, a historical moment for us to take this first process toward breaking this culture of impunity. So I'm really thrilled and in support of the tribunal that's taking place right now.
Cambodians follow trial closely
RAY SUAREZ: Well, let me follow up. What do Cambodians on the street, the rank-and-file population of the country, make of these trials? Are they watching them, following them closely?
LOUNG UNG: I'm so sorry. I didn't hear that.
RAY SUAREZ: Oh, well, I was just asking whether regular Cambodians are following the trial closely.
LOUNG UNG: I was in Cambodia in February and sat in the pretrial hearing for Duch. And it was fascinating how many people actually followed this.
I was traveling the countryside, met many people, young and old, students, and, again, 50 percent of Cambodians are 20 and under who otherwise wouldn't know anything about what was going on there. And because of the tribunal, they actually came up to me, recognized me from pictures on my books, and started asking me questions about the tribunal.
And at the pretrial hearing, I was again really in awe to see that the courtroom of 430 people or so, filled with monks and students and men and women in business suits, and they were all paying attention and wanting to know what happened.
This is our opportunity. It's not only about the trial of a few people, but our opportunity to find out what happened to our families, what happened in Cambodia, and our opportunity to have our say, and to be heard, and to be believed.
Few Khmer Rouge officials are tried
RAY SUAREZ: Gregory Stanton, was a decision made, at least at first, to only go after the big perpetrators? Or will there be other trials down the line? You can't kill a million-and-a-half people without a lot of help.
GREGORY STANTON: That's certainly true. The law under which this tribunal was created actually provides only for trials of those most responsible for the crimes of the Khmer Rouge. In other words, it only goes for the top.
And there are two reasons for that. The first is that, in a country where you have had so many people involved in the crimes, to go after everybody would simply tear the society apart again.
The second reason is that this was, in fact, a really Maoist-style top-down dictatorship, so that, in fact, orders really did come from the top, and so it is appropriate to try those people.
And I think that Loung Ung is absolutely right, that there's no good way that you can try everyone. And so but what is so important here is this trial will establish once and for all what happened, the history. It will end the denial that many of these leaders are still perpetrating. And, finally, it will provide an answer for many Cambodians why these leaders inflicted these terrible crimes upon them.
RAY SUAREZ: Loung Ung, do you agree with Gregory Stanton's analysis that you really only could try the big leaders of the regime and not the people who carried out those killings at ground level?
LOUNG UNG: You know, it's impossible to try, I think, all the people who are involved. Again, 1.7 million of Cambodians perished of starvations, disease, executions, and hard labors of a population of 7 million or so.
And a lot of people were involved. In Cambodia today, a country approximately the size of the state of Oklahoma, is littered with an estimate of 20,000 mass graves. And the majority of them were somebody's loved ones who were killed with a blunt instrument to the back of their heads.
So, so many people were involved. So many loved ones' lives were lost. And yet it's very difficult to pinpoint who gave what orders and, as Duch and the defendants, it's the same excuses they're giving us. "It wasn't us. We were just following orders." It was, "If we didn't follow orders, we would be killed."
And so it's disheartening that we couldn't try more people. But as a survivor, I am at least grateful that we are trying some people. And hopefully those some people will give us the information that we so sorely needed to move forward, to heal our nation, to heal our heart and our soul.
Survivors seek answers
RAY SUAREZ: Let's look a little closer at the man who called himself Duch during the Khmer Rouge regime. He's been held responsible for some 14,000 deaths at the particular prison he ran.
GREGORY STANTON: Yes.
RAY SUAREZ: Was he involved in the killings? Is he accused of being involved in the killings himself? Or was he basically running a place where all those killings occurred?
GREGORY STANTON: He has actually admitted to participating in the torture himself and was directly responsible for the killings.
One of the reasons that the trial of Duch is so significant is that he was a Christian converted after he was a Khmer Rouge. In other words, he's a born-again Christian who actually wants to confess his crimes, his sins.
And so he is actually going to spill the beans, if you will, on the other leaders. He's going to tell what they did, the orders they gave him, because he received orders directly, for instance, from Nuon Chea, brother number two, that were signed. And Duch can testify that he received those orders.
So the command responsibility for the crimes of the Khmer Rouge, in fact, is going to be laid bare by this very first trial.
RAY SUAREZ: So Duch tells what he knows, Loung Ung. And what does a country, a small country like that, do with that information? Can a country like come to some sort of final conclusion about the war and move on when a man like this tells what he knows?
LOUNG UNG: Well, it's fascinating to me and Greg, you just mentioned that Duch actually is a born-again Christian and has said many times that his God will be his judge, and yet he is still, I think, not taking full responsibility, still saying the line he's been using a long time, which is he was just following orders.
I think for Cambodians, because 85 or so of Cambodians are Buddhist, we have begun to move forward. And for us, healing takes place not only at the tribunal, with the tribunal, but with each harvest seasons, with the birth of a new generation of Cambodians, with the country now becoming economically viable again.
But this for us, this just somehow may put the closure for us to find out what happened to our family members. And for us, it was just -- during the Khmer Rouge, we were so completely isolated.
We didn't know what happened to -- in a village a mere half-a-mile or a mile from us. I didn't know the soldiers were coming for my father with their guns and grenades and took him into the night until they arrived, even though they had been going to villages and taking other people's fathers.
And it's because we were completely locked down and we didn't know. And this hopefully will give us an opportunity to find out what actually happened.
RAY SUAREZ: Loung Ung joins us from Cleveland, Gregory Stanton here in Washington. Good to talk to you both.
GREGORY STANTON: Thank you.
LOUNG UNG: Thank you.

The clock is ticking and thousands of lives are on the line...including her own.
Now this rookie lawyer with a troubled past and a penchant for hacking must prove a billion-dollar company is responsible for thousands of deaths...before they come after her.

"Didn't finish it."
I didn't finish this book. I thought it was going to be good, but I like strong/smart protagonists and this one is decidedly not either of those things. (VERY SMALL SPOILER ALERT) For instance, she's a lawyer, but can't figure out how to stop an unauthorized person from removing a loved one from a hospital? Really? She has a boss with all kinds of experience with the seedy side of lawyering but decides not to call him when she receives a bribe/threat? She goes to law school and passes the bar but throughout the process hasn't received any training in how to prepare a witness? Just really stupid. :-/
"inconsistency and plot contrivance"
Possibly, with a grain of salt. If this is the first in a series, the author may hit his/her stride in future books.
One example: Any sizable law firm would employ a professional investigator and certainly would not send a young female newbie junior associate out alone to track down documents, witnesses, etc. Especially when a prime witness has died in questionable circumstances. I guess the "lady in peril" element is meant to add excitement, but it merely comes across as a contrivance.
Good character range.
"How far will you go"
No, not because it was a bad book. I just don't typically listen to my books twice. But, with that said, this was a good book, one that could actually be listened to while driving with the kids in the car. It also addresses the question of how far will a person go to do good? Even if that meant breaking the law. This story really capture the times and the social media age, while pointing out investigative techniques and the weaknesses of social media platforms and computer systems.
I'm just wondering, if you commit a crime to fight crime are you actually helping or just committing crimes???
"Interesting and worthwhile legal suspense thriller"
After several years as a computer technology specialist Caroline Auden went to law school, passed the bar and joined a large and prestigious law firm as a junior associate. Her first job assignment is to assist on a large class action case involving hundreds of claimants and many law firms. The assignment is clearly over her head, but she does not question that. Then the suspense begins.
Realizing the book is fiction I did not down rate it for the case being against a company that supplied genetically modified soybean based foods that caused renal failure in humans. It's a bit of a scare tactic because no GMO (genetically modified plants in this case) has ever been shown to cause health issues in animals and humans. Use of such genetically modified plant based feeds and foods have been around a long time with only positive results.
Doubt is an excellent thriller I would award 4.5 stars if possible. The action and suspense inside and outside the courtroom are riveting. Ms. Tobisman has written a worthwhile book. The twist at the end adds to the story. Narration is excellent.
This is book 1 in the Caroline Auden series. I plan to listen to or read future book in the series.
"plenty of suspense"
This story has plenty of suspense and a likable lead. If you don't worry too much about everything connecting in a logical way, it's entertaining.
"Will hold your interest"
Doubt keeps moving at a brisk pace. The twists and turns will keep you riveted until the end. I also thought the narrator did a great job.
"Excellent! Enjoyed the twists in the story!"
The narrator fit the main character perfectly... suspenseful... good flow...I will be looking for more stories with this heroine...
"a true Thriller I could not put down"
this is a true legal thriller . I started have questions about motivations of people and characters in the book . but everything dovetailed so well together in the end it was worth every minute of The Thrill Ride. I highly recommend anyone read this.
The plot, characters, narration, and storyline worked well together. I did not expect the ending to turn out the way that it did. I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book!
"Excellent book by new author"
I just finished listening to Doubt, a legal thriller by C E Tobisman. It's her first book published and I highly recommend it to fans of legal thrillers. Her storyline and character Caroline Auden was very believable and entertaining, I am looking forward to her next book Proof which will be released in June. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Feeling Blue?: Kadeem Jack To Visit UNC and KentuckyMay 9, 2010
ESPN's 44th ranked player at the power forward position, Kadeem Jack, has announced that he is planning two more college visits this spring. The 6'9", 210 lb. senior of Rice High School in New York City will pay official visits to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Kentucky in the very near future. Jack was recruited by and visited a number of powerhouse programs but had decided, as of last week, to forgo college this fall in favor of a year of prep school instead. It is said that the decision to attend prep school was made in order to give Jack time to polish his game and was not academically related.
Jack's 16.9 points per game would be a welcomed addition to the team at UNC who suffered a huge loss in their front court following the 2009-10 season. As of right now the Tar Heels are returning only two post players after losing Deon Thompson to graduation, Ed Davis to the NBA Draft, and the rising sophomore Wear twins to transfer. Because of this shortage in the paint, Jack could make an instant impact at UNC and could probably be just as effective as the Wear twins combined. I am sure Tar Heel fans will be hoping for an offer and acceptance ASAP.
Kentucky, like UNC, already has one of the top recruiting classes in the country and could probably use Jack just as much as the Heels. The Wildcats return only one player over 6'7" in rising senior Josh Harrellson at 6'10" and have incoming freshmen Enes Kanter who stands 6'9". After the 2009-10 Season the Wildcats lost their freshmen phenom of a big man, DeMarcus Cousins, to the NBA Draft along with other contributing forwards Patrick Patterson and Daniel Orton.
Being one of the best high school players left it will definitely be interesting to see what Jack decides to do. I for one will be hoping he becomes a Tar Heel.

Council conclusions on Tunisia
Virginie Battu
Press officer
+32 22815316
+32 470182405
1. The EU firmly condemns the brutal attack which killed 38 tourists and wounded many others, on 26 June near Sousse, three months after the deadly attack at the Bardo. It reiterates its solidarity with the Tunisian people and with the families of the victims.
2. While Tunisia embodies the success of a genuine democratic revolution and has made a transition to being the kind of society that protects fundamental freedoms and human rights, it is also a target for terrorism. These attacks strengthen the EU's determination, expressed by the European Council of 20 March, to support the Tunisian transition so that it can maintain its ambitious aim of democratic consolidation, and to deepen the privileged partnership between the EU and Tunisia which manifests, in many fields, the shared ambition to bring Europeans and Tunisians closer together.
3. The EU reasserts its support for the efforts of the Tunisian authorities to implement the Constitution fully, to ensure that all on Tunisian territory are safe and to undertake the reforms that are needed in order to meet the social and economic challenges that confront the young above all. It reiterates its commitment to further intensify its cooperation with Tunisia, through substantial technical and financial support, within an integrated approach designed to respond to the numerous challenges facing the country.

Karen Funk Blocher has written on her Outpost Mavarin blog the second and final installment about why George Maharis left the "Route 66" show at the height of its popularity in 1963.
In short, she reports that Maharis asked for a scaled-back shooting schedule that season because he was recovering from two bouts of hepatitis. Executive producer Herbert B. Leonard said Maharis was exaggerating his illness so he could break his contract and go into movies. Leonard also cited Maharis' homosexuality and alleged run-ins with the law as why he couldn't be trusted.
Funk Blocher, who interviewed the "Route 66" principals for a book project, concludes:
Personally, I think George Maharis was legitimately concerned that his health was suffering, due to the punishing working conditions he was expected to put up with when he returned to work. He was very angry about it, and did not handle the situation with tact or discretion. The producers were ticked off: he was badmouthing the show and costing them money, just another star behaving badly. I doubt that they ever seriously considered the possibility that George was telling the truth, and that 15 hours days and shooting for hours in winter-cold water really was too much to ask of a guy with hepatitis. Actors who gripe in public are typically assumed to be spoiled and greedy, and Leonard didn't trust Maharis anyway after learning that the handsome young star was not the All-American heterosexual heartthrob the producer thought he'd hired. Aside from offering more money, which they assumed was the real issue behind the histrionics, the producers made no attempt to address Maharis's concerns, so he left the show. It's a tragedy in the classical sense, with hubris and a fatal flaw leading to the star's downfall. Maharis never regained the popularity he had for the first year and a half of his Route 66 tenure. […]
I hesitate to say outright that Herbert B. Leonard was homophobic, and that this was a contributing factor to the misunderstandings surrounding Maharis's departure from Route 66. But based on what we were told in those 1986 interviews, it's a little hard to draw any other conclusion. It really is rather sad. Here was a rising young actor in the role of his life, and it all came crashing down for reasons that had very little to do with the reported ones.
On a related note, I think it would be cool if the organizers of the annual Route 66 Festival invited Maharis to next year's gala in Clinton, Okla.
The other "Route 66" co-star, Martin Milner, is in poor health and unable to make personal appearances. I'm sure the show holds bitter memories for Maharis. But perhaps time and retirement have served as a balm to those wounds.
Personally, I think roadies would be thrilled to meet one of the stars of a classic television show that helped cement the popularity of Route 66. In turn, such an experience would be a healing experience for Maharis.
So what do you think?
UPDATE: You can can order all four seasons of "Route 66" on DVD from Shout! Factory:

In February and March 2012, excess deaths among the elderly have been observed in 12 European countries that carry out weekly monitoring of all-cause mortality. These preliminary data indicate that the impact of influenza in Europe differs from the recent pandemic and post-pandemic seasons. The current excess mortality among the elderly may be related to the return of influenza A(H3N2) virus, potentially with added effects of a cold snap.
In most winter seasons, excess all-cause mortality among the elderly is observed in Europe. The extent of this excess varies considerably between seasons and between countries [1-5]. Most often, this excess has been attributed to seasonal influenza illness, especially in seasons dominated by A(H3N2) virus subtype, but other factors such as cold weather and infections resulting from other respiratory agents also play a role [1-8].
Since the beginning of February 2012, an increased number of excess deaths among the elderly has been observed in a number of European countries that carry out weekly monitoring of all-cause age-specific mortality.
The aim of this article is to describe the occurrence of this recently observed excess mortality in Europe and consider potential explanations in order to encourage other countries to assess their situation and share experiences.
Monitoring all-cause mortality in Europe
Since autumn 2009, monitoring of weekly all-cause mortality has been carried out in up to 16 countries across Europe. This was initially part of the European monitoring of excess mortality for public health action (EuroMOMO), a project funded first by the European Union Health Programme [9] and later, European mortality monitoring received funding from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The public health value of the project was underlined in the 2009 influenza pandemic, when these excess mortality outputs became important for European risk assessments [10-12].
A common statistical algorithm is used in EuroMOMO-participating countries to generate weekly indicators for age group-specific excess mortality that are comparable across countries. The algorithm is a time-series Poisson regression model with number of weekly deaths as a dependent variable adjusting for trend and seasonal variation. The algorithm also corrects for the delay observed between data collection and data processing in each country.
The main indicators generated are:
Standard deviation scores (z-scores) are used to standardise outputs and enable comparison of mortality patterns between different populations and between different time periods. Excess mortality above two z-scores from the baseline is considered above the normal level of the standard variation of data. Details of the EuroMOMO algorithm can be found elsewhere [13].
Data outputs from individual partner countries are compiled by the Statens Serum Institut in Denmark. Data analysed for this paper included all-cause mortality from week 1 (2 January) up to and including week 11 (18 March) 2012. A total of 14 countries submitted data: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany (Hessen region), Greece (regions of Athens, Keratsini, Magnisia and Kerkira), Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (UK) (England and Wales).
Data on influenza activity were derived from the ECDC weekly influenza surveillance overview [14], EuroFlu [15] and from personal communication with national influenza surveillance representatives. Increased influenza activity was defined as medium or high influenza intensity, as reported through these channels.
All-cause mortality among the elderly (individuals aged ≥65 years) has been above two z-scores from the baseline for two consecutive weeks or more in Belgium, Portugal and Spain from week 5, in France and the Netherlands from week 6, in Finland, Hungary, Sweden and Switzerland from week 7. In the UK mortality among the elderly has been above 2 z-scores in weeks 7–8 and 11–12. Ireland reported a one-week peak of a z-score above 2 in week 9 and Greece in week 10. Denmark and Germany reported no excess mortality.
Although data from week 11 may be influenced by reporting delay, it appears that mortality has peaked and is now decreasing in Belgium, Finland, France, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands.
In Spain and Portugal, mortality has been above two z-scores from the baseline for two and three weeks, respectively, in the age group 15–64 years of age. Otherwise, there has been no sign of excess mortality in other age groups studied (0–4, 5–14 years).
Figure 1. Weekly mortality among those aged ≥65 years in 14 EuroMOMO countries as standardised deviations from the baseline (z-scores), week 7 2009–week 11 2012 (9 Feb 2009–18 March 2012)
In Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Finland, Hungary, Ireland and Greece excess mortality among the elderly coincided with or followed after reported increased influenza activity (Figure 2). In Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands, excess mortality seemed to precede, at least partly, reported increased influenza activity. In the UK, there was excess mortality but no reported increased influenza activity and in Germany, there was reported increased influenza activity but no excess mortality. Denmark, which has observed no excess mortality to date, reported no increased influenza activity. Among the countries that observed excess mortality, only the UK did not see medium or high influenza activity at least in parts of the same time period.

As in previous winter seasons, a number of European countries are experiencing increased mortality in the elderly population. Unlike the past two seasons, the excess mortality this year coincided in most countries with late increased influenza activity. An impact of influenza on the elderly is not unexpected, as this year is dominated by influenza A(H3N2): according to the ECDC weekly influenza surveillance overview of 30 March 2012, 95% of the influenza A viruses detected from sentinel and non-sentinel sources this season were type H3N2 [17]. In contrast, influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 was the prevailing type in the past two years. The pandemic virus more or less spared the elderly – although some countries, such as the UK, did observe excess mortality in middle-aged adults likely to be attributable to influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 activity [4,10,18].
There are, at present, differences in observed excess mortality between European countries using the EuroMOMO algorithm. The available influenza data do not offer an exhaustive explanation for these differences. In most countries, excess mortality coincided or followed after reported increases in influenza activity. This pattern has been regularly observed in the pre-pandemic years [1-5,8] and corroborates the association of influenza (in particular influenza A(H3N2)) and excess deaths in the elderly. In particular, in the present season there are reports that some of these influenza A(H3N2) viruses are an imperfect match with the A(H3N2) strain included in the current vaccine; however, the contribution of this to the epidemiology of the observed excess mortality is unclear at this stage [19].
The data presented in Figure 2 suggest that the overlap between influenza activity and excess mortality was discordant in a few countries. There are several possible explanations for this observation. Firstly, the different patterns may suggest that other factors contribute to the occurrence of excess mortality. Indeed, there was a cold spell across Europe during weeks 4 to 6 this year throughout Europe, which might add to excess mortality in some countries, but not in others. It is well known that periods of extreme cold are associated with excess mortality [1,4,7,20,21]. In Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands, excess mortality could be observed before influenza transmission increased: we hypothesise that the cold spell could have been a contributing factor in those countries.
Secondly, the current definition of increased national influenza activity is based on a risk assessment by each European country. As a consequence, there are subjective differences in how this is interpreted. This may also partially explain the apparent discordance between observed excess mortality and reported level of influenza activity seen in some counties. It highlights the importance of developing more standardised objective measures of influenza activity. Finally, it is possible that infections other than influenza may contribute to excess mortality among the elderly in some countries.
The occurrence of potential risks at similar times – i.e. the cold snap and increased influenza activity – this winter season highlights the difficulty of disentangling the effects of different causes of excess mortality. Studies have shown that multivariate regression models can be successfully used to better quantify the impact of mortality risks such as influenza viruses, other respiratory viruses as well as extreme weather conditions [1,4,22,23].
In order to assess the public health impact of influenza at the population level, it is important to develop a common European approach to estimate the number of excess deaths associated with influenza. By including relevant and standardised indicators of influenza activity, virological data, vaccination data, climatic data and other respiratory infection data, it will be possible to perform a timely regression analysis to estimate excess mortality associated with influenza. We recommend that a standard approach should be developed with the results summarised at the end of the influenza season when final data are available. However, it is also important on an ongoing basis to collate, analyse, interpret and disseminate mortality data in order to inform public health actions. As cause-of-death in most countries will not be available in a timely fashion, this has to be carried out based on all-cause mortality data, and has to be interpreted in a qualitative method as in the present paper. On the basis of our preliminary data, we hypothesise that the epidemiology of the impact of influenza in Europe differs in the 2011/12 season from the recent pandemic and post-pandemic seasons, with excess mortality in the elderly caused by the return of influenza A(H3N2) virus, potentially with the added effects of a cold snap.

Pasco employees union leaders back contract proposal
Even as some people are making noise about withholding their approval, the United School Employees of Pasco representative council and executive boards have come out recommending support of the group's newly minted tentative contract agreements.
"Voting 'YES' is not an endorsement of the SB-736 state-mandated evaluation process. All Florida districts by law have to comply," USEP president Lynne Webb said in a statement. "Instead it's recognition of the hard work and effort that our volunteer bargaining team members put in for ten months to bring as much fairness and equity to this inherently flawed law."
The groups also stressed that furlough days are for this school year only, and that the USEP representatives secured a deal from the district that if surplus funds remain at the end of the year, employees would be reimbursed for the furlough days before any money is applied to savings. The School Board met in executive session on Tuesday to discuss this agreement. No details of that meeting have been released.
"No one can claim to be happy about the settlement," Webb said. "But considering the horrible shortfall we faced this year, I believe the settlement is realistic."
The USEP will have three meetings to review the teacher evaluation Memorandum of Understanding with members before the ratification vote. These will be on Tuesday May 8th at the USEP office on Lake Patience Rd. in Land O' Lakes, Thursday, May 10th at the Centennial Middle media center, and Tuesday, May 15th at the Gulf High cafeteria. Each will run from 5-6 p.m.

NRF: Credit Card Cos. Using Surcharging as 'Propaganda'
The National Retail Federation (NRF) is not holding back in criticizing major credit card companies that agreed to a rule change in retail surcharges. As of Jan. 27, merchants who accept credit cards issued by Visa and Mastercard are allowed to add a service charge to the purchase price.
Credit card companies had previously prohibited merchants from applying a surcharge, but Visa and Mastercard agreed to the change, in addition to a $7.2-billion payment, as part of the swipe fee settlement proposed in July 2012. The settlement was a result of a 2005 antitrust suit that retailers brought against credit card companies. One of the major plaintiffs was NACS, the Association for Convenience & Fuel Retailing.
According to NACS Online, however, it is not likely retailers will surcharge and the NRF, which was not involved in the class-action lawsuit, is confident they will refrain.
"Merchants have no desire to surcharge and no plans to surcharge," J. Craig Shearman, a vice president of the National Retail Federation, told The Record. "The concept of widespread surcharging is purely card industry propaganda."
NBC News reached out to retail giants Wal-Mart Inc., Target Corp., Sears Holdings and The Home Depot, who all said they have no plans to add a credit-card surcharge. Meanwhile, convenience store retailer Hy-Vee took to Facebook to inform shoppers that they would not be charged a service fee when paying for goods with Visa or MasterCard credit cards.
Ed Mierzwinski, director of consumer programs at U.S. PIRG (Public Interest Research Group) agreed that retailers will likely shun credit card surcharges.
"In the brick-and-mortar world, no one who does any sort of volume business is going to want to surcharge because it will drive their customer crazy and slow down transactions," Mierzwinski said, according to CNBC.
Currently, 10 states that represent 40 percent of the market have laws that ban surcharging. These states are California, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas.
But ConsumerWorld.org's Edgar Dworsky told CNBC he is worried that surcharges are here to stay. He pointed out that when stores price merchandise, they factor in the cost of processing credit cards. He doesn't anticipate stores will roll back prices to account for an added charge.
"There's no one standing up for consumers and saying that this is really bad," added Dworsky.
As CSNews Online previously reported, a surcharge fee must not exceed the processing cost of the transaction or 4 percent, whichever is less. In addition, Visa allows surcharging on credit cards only. Surcharging on other card types such as PIN debit and check cards is prohibited.
Merchants need full disclosure when applying a surcharge, and signage must be posted at the point of entry as well as a line item on the point-of-sale receipt.
In addition, the rules require merchants to give 30 days' notice to Visa and MasterCard before surcharging, and retailers who surcharge for Visa or MasterCard transactions also must surcharge for American Express transactions if the card is accepted.
This rule creates a conflict, however, since American Express requires retailers to surcharge all card types, including debit, if they choose to surcharge. Therefore, debit reform would be undercut and merchants would be pressured to drop American Express.
The new rules could also require software changes. Point-of-sale manufacturers will need to complete a software certification in order to support the surcharge requirements. New software certified to process a surcharge are expected to be available starting mid-2013.
The court has yet to issue a final ruling in the swipe fee settlement case, which has been delayed.

International Notes Update: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome -- Europe
Ten countries provide the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre on Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Paris, France, with regular data, making follow-up and study of the AIDS situation possible in Europe (1); these countries are: Denmark, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
A total of 421 AIDS cases were diagnosed in these 10 countries (although onset of illness may have occurred elsewhere) up to July 15, 1984 (Table 1). In October 1983, the same countries reported 215 cases at the first meeting on AIDS, organized by the WHO Regional Office for Europe in Aarhus, Denmark (2). AIDS cases have increased nearly 100% in 8 months. Estimates of the rate of AIDS cases per million population vary considerably from one country to another. However, uneven geographic case distribution was found within the individual countries and also in other parts of the world.
Seven percent of the cases reported in these 10 countries occurred among women. Forty-nine percent of all patients were in the 30- to 39-year age group. Two cases occurring in children under 1 year of age were reported in France, the first in a Zairian child whose mother also had AIDS, and the second, in a Haitian child whose parents both had the disease.
Of the total patients recorded, 349 (83%) came from the 10 countries mentioned above (Table 2). Three other groups accounted for a considerable percentage: (1) the group of patients from countries in the Caribbean region, with 18 cases (4.3% of the total), including 17 Haitian patients (reported in France) and one patient from Dominica (reported in the United Kingdom). Except for three Haitians, these patients were living in Europe before the appearance of the first signs of the disease; (2) the group of patients from Africa included 39 cases (9.3% of the total). These patients came from Zaire (18), Congo (nine), Gabon (three), Mali (two), Zambia (two), Cameroon (one), Cape Verde (one), Ghana (one), Togo (one), and Uganda (one). The cases were diagnosed and reported in France (27 cases), Switzerland (six), the United Kingdom (two), the Federal Republic of Germany (two), Greece (one), and Italy (one). Thirty-two of these patients were living in Europe before the appearance of the initial symptoms; (3) the third group ("other nationalities") included 15 patients (3.6% of the total), consisting mainly of patients coming from the Americas: United States (seven), Argentina (one), Canada (one), Nicaragua (one), and Peru (one). The four other patients came from the following countries: Albania (one), Pakistan (one), Portugal (one), and Yugoslavia (one). Seven of them (four United States citizens, one Argentine, one Canadian, and one Pakistani) were not living in Europe when the first symptoms appeared.
Of the patients from the 10 European countries, 87.4% were male homosexuals, 3.4%, hemophilia patients, and 1.4%, drug abusers, while none of the known risk factors could be found for 6.9% of patients of both sexes. Among the latter, women comprised slightly more than 2% of the total. The 12 hemophilia patients were reported in the Federal Republic of Germany (five cases), Spain (three), France (two), and the United Kingdom (two). The five drug-abuse patients were reported in Spain (three cases) and the Federal Republic of Germany (two). The two patients for whom the only risk factor identified was blood transfusion were reported in France. The first had received transfusions in Haiti and Martinique at an interval of a few days; the second had received a transfusion in Paris. Both were given transfusions following traffic accidents.
In almost all patients from the Caribbean and Africa observed in Europe, none of the known AIDS risk factors were found. One Haitian patient (out of 17) and one African patient (out of 39) said they were homosexuals.
Women without known risk factors comprised 22% of the Caribbean cases and 33% of the African cases. Among patients of other nationalities, 13 were homosexuals; two were also drug abusers. The two patients (one Pakistani and one Portuguese) for whom no risk factor was found had lived in Equatorial Africa during the 5 years preceding diagnosis of the disease. Reported in WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record 1984;59:305-7.

Mutt under FilePro not sending mail!
We are moving an application from UNIX to LINUX which uses Mutt mail executed from a FilePro program/menu. The problem is when we send the mail nothing happens. I have verified that Mutt is working. My feeling is that the Linux does not have the same file path as the UNIX
has but I did have our Linux admin copy some files from the Unix directories to the Linux with exact names and we still cannot get this to work. Is there a set directory where files for Mutt should reside?
