Sigmund moves on from shock defeat
Ben Sigmund is a player renowned for wearing his heart on his sleeve for whichever team he's playing for, but even he felt powerless to do anything about New Zealand's shock exit in the semifinals of the recent Oceania Nations Cup in the Solomon Islands.
The All Whites were hot favourites going into the tournament which had, as a massive carrot, entry to the prestigious Confederations Cup. Coming off the back of two good results in the United States against Honduras and El Salvador, they struggled throughout the tournament in Honiara and in the end, their 0-2 semifinal defeat to New Caledonia was almost not a surprise.
Sigmund was back in Blenheim, where he was born, last weekend as a guest of Marlborough Football, still smarting from that result and from the way the tournament was organised, with the players forced to perform in oppressive conditions and a compressed period of time.
The All Whites played five matches in eight days, all on the same field and eventually they simply ran out of gas against the enthusiastic and skilful opposition.
"The way I would describe it was a 60-year-old with a 30-year-old mind. Your body actually wants to do it but it was just so hot and draining. Your body just shut down after 15 minutes.
"Playing in the heat of the day, 39 degrees [Celsius] and never getting below 38 and humidity with it, the sun just pelting down on you.
"It was tough, then you had the referees to deal with as well and not many of them did any favours for you. I don't want to blame it on just those conditions, but it was a huge factor."
Sigmund is admired for how hard he plays and the fact he never stops trying, but the two-time Phoenix player of the year admitted defeat this time around.
"I remember the first game we played in Honiara and thinking, `Holy heck, we've got another four games to go'.
"The second game, I thought, `Right, I'm really going to give it everything here'. I was really disappointed in my first game. I got out there for the second game and the same thing happened. The heat just zapped you and you couldn't run.
"The Island boys were as good as gold and at the end of the day you've got to take your hat off to them. Tahiti, who won it, they turned up and performed and good on them."
Sigmund wasn't happy that Football New Zealand or Fifa allowed such a ridiculous schedule and that New Zealand turned down the opportunity to host the tournament.
"There were a number of reasons why New Zealand Football didn't host it but I think if you have an opportunity to have a tournament in New Zealand to help the All Whites out, or any New Zealand team, then they should do it.
"Going over and playing how we did in the Solomon Islands was ridiculous. No-one does it. New Zealand Football certainly have got to look at it and make sure it doesn't happen again."
Although he was frustrated about the outcome and the way the tournament was arranged, Sigmund said the Island countries had improved significantly and had some very skilful players.
He would like the tournament to be played as it was last time when the four top Island teams qualified, then played home and away against New Zealand, with games played out of the heat of the day.
Sigmund said the two impressive results against El Salvador and Honduras showed how well the All Whites could play under much more normal conditions against technically better opposition.
Lessons would be learnt off and on the field and would benefit the team in future internationals, Sigmund believes.
"One good thing about Ricki Herbert and the All Whites is we never underestimate anyone. We always know that you have to go out each game and give it everything."
He didn't agree with suggestions that missing out on the Confederations Cup, which cost New Zealand Football more than $1.5 million, was a big setback in the All Whites' bid to qualify for the next World Cup.
"It's disappointing, of course. You want to go to the Confederations Cup and play against the top world teams, but I think it might be a blessing in disguise and steel the resolve to roll up our sleeves and make sure we do qualify."
The experienced defender had high praise for Marlborough goalie Michael O'Keeffe who was drafted over to Honiara after Mark Paston's injury.
"He deserves a lot of credit. He's such a nice guy and he's a good player.
"He went around every single player and shook their hand when he arrived, " Sigmund said.
"I hope he plays at the Olympics because he deserves to."

Prolactin and Luteal Phase Defect
I recently was told that I have a LPD. After having u/s done around ovulation time I have been told that I do not make a mature follicle. (Estradiol = 81 and follicle of 16 day of ovulation). I have been lactating for no reason for 15 months now - exactly the amount of time I have been experiencing infertility. (I used to experience multiple chemical pregnancies, but was told they were due to a balanced translocation I carry. We have one healthy 3yo.) I am now starting bromocriptine even though when my prolactin was checked twice in the last 1.5 yrs. it was normal. They are also rechecking prolactin and thyroid. Could the lactation whether the prolactin is elevated or not be causing the LPD? Or is the LPD causing the lactation? Or is it just a coincidence that I have both going on? Thank you for your time.
The usefulness of bromocriptine treatment in patients with normal menstrual cycles, as well as normal prolactin levels in unclear. If there were definite concerns about an LPD, it might be appropriate to use progesterone supplementation following ovulation. If a patient were found to have a "low" progesterone level following ovulation, another option would be to use fertility pills to stimulate the ovaries to increase these levels.
In patients who have persistent galactorrhea (lactation), I do not usually treat them unless they have elevated prolactin levels coupled with irregular periods or if the breast secretions are bothersome. The LPD would not cause galactorrhea.

Freelance Whales, 'Diluvia' – Album Review
The word, concept and phase of life that saturates Freelance Whales is youth. Not in an M83, babies-of-the-'80s nostalgic way, but rather in real-time, doe-eyed expressions of their still-going salad days. The Whales are a quintet from Queens — which counts as contrarian, given all the Brooklyn bands — and on 'Diluvia,' they have a yearning, reaching, inchoate style that's as crisp as a freshly plucked apple.
With its strange name (Latin for flood — look at the album art!) and long songs, the group's sophomore record is the product of musicians raised on Death Cab, Postal Service, the Decemberists and Seth Cohen. Despite that hodgepodge of influences, there is individuality here. It's mostly courtesy of Judah Dadone's circumlocutory circumspection, as the singer sketches out scenes of bridges and egrets and shards of diamonds, and that's just the first song, the winsome, cirrus-speckled 'Aelous.' (Which might be a Magic card, but anyway…) He's clearly studied Colin Meloy and Conor Oberst, and as such, he reaches — and sometimes overreaches — for literary flourish, dropping lines like, "Throw me in the top it's all the same, in a cold black frame, with a pterodactyl gho-o-o-o-st." (That's on the banjo-picked 'Winter Seeds,' by the way.)
The band has a radically different feel when Doris Cellar takes over on vocals, as on 'Spitting Image.' There, as she floats her lollipop voice over synths, singing about hiding and love and whatever else, she doesn't exhibit the same gift of gab. The twee takes hold in 'Locked Out,' where Dadone muses about emptiness and meaning among bubble-wrap xylophones and Sega Genesis synths. Headiness meets helium as the band pulls the track tight on its outro, repeating "we have the rations to go anywhere" and "the noble pulsar" — definite signs Dadone has read his Dune.
Let's be clear: Well-executed nerdery of this level commands respect. 'Red Star' is one of the finest cosmic ballads since Bowie, though the space operatics need to be reined in on the unforgivably long 'DNA Bank' — seven-plus minutes of wind chimes and introspection that slides into closer 'Emergence Exit,' wherein, after a line about soil and nutrients, Dadone and the gang repeat, "You would have been better alone / without my love," until the record ends. To say that the ending is welcome might be too strong — the album certainly has its highlights — but most of 'Diluvia' is simply too much.

A GROUP of tourists found themselves on thin ice when they stopped for what they thought would be a relaxing picnic on a glacier on Sunday.
The four US tourists were enjoying their feast at the Fjallsárlón glacial lagoon in East Iceland, a popular spot for travellers. They had even set up a table and chairs.
But it wasn't long before the section of ice they were sitting on broke and started drifting away due to a sudden gust of wind. Luckily, one of the tourists managed to get off the ice and call for help, the Iceland Review reported.
They were about 10 metres off the shore when first found by rescuers. A photo from the scene shows three of the unidentified tourists sitting calmly on their chairs waiting to be saved.
"When we arrived it was quite comical to see them sitting on chairs and with a table on an iceberg," Páll Sigurður Vignisson of the Hornafjörður rescue team, said.
"Yes, the dinner was over."
He also warned of the danger of the situation.
"They could have been in danger. We never know how ice will behave; if it rolls over and when - we just don't know."

feed back please
a design i been working on
i'd make earth lighter in colour to contrast with its background.
Maybe some light and shadows would make it more 'deep'
Maybe some variations in the size of the stars and a kind of white stain on the space...
I would suggest working on the stars (like lxlopes said, different sizes) and definitely a different font, if you really feel text is needed. I honestly think the joke comes across without any text, and I prefer designs that use as little as possible to get the point across. I would work on your characters, they don't feel solid to me yet. Definitely some shading, maybe considering perspective on the moon's moon, and little things like the blush on the earth not being even. I think this is an awesome concept though, and you should definitely keep pushing it.
Thanks every one for the feedback I'll start working on it as soon as possible
very cool.
The colors are dead. The shapes are too SOLID like making it not cute and dead
Take this for example http://www.threadless.com/product/5184/Angry_Baseball
Yes, I would add some lining on your artwork too. More details will make those stand out.

Renting Your Wedding Cake: Brilliant or Baffling?
Between a struggling economy and inflated prices on anything wedding-related, it's almost essential to channel creativity in saving money while planning for the big day. One company has formed their entire business based on the idea that most couples are unwilling to sacrifice the wedding cake but are adhering to a budget that may not allow for an elaborate concoction.
Cake Rental claims its services are elegant and economical — a three tier cake can be rented for $150. The rental cake is not for eating, rather it is simply on display when the couple feeds each other and then is taken to the kitchen. Guests are handed slices from a regular sheet cake kept out of view. Most of you said that cakes aren't a disposable wedding expense, but do you think this is a good alternative for those looking to spend less on their wedding day?

Richard Dawkins has famously proposed that cultural habits are passed on through "memes": "tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches . . . . Memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation" (quoted in Sheldrake, The Science Delusion , 183).
For Dawkins and other atheists, religion is a meme complex that infects other people's brains. But why should materialist atheists be immune to memeplexes?: "Materialism," Sheldrake says, "must itself be a virus-like meme complex that infects materialists' brains. When the materialist memeplex is particularly virulent, it turns its victims into proselytizing atheists so that it can jump from their brains to as many other people's brains as possible."
On materialist premises, memes must be material but, Sheldrake drolly observes, "no one has ever found a meme inside a brain, or seen one leaping from one brain to another."

In this super-creamy risotto, Jamie Oliver combines the fabulous fall flavours of apple, walnuts and gorgonzola. The creamy richness is amplified even more by the addition of goat's cheese and Parmesan. It is a bit of a labour of love, to be sure, but the results are truly special. The apple, walnut and gorgonzola recipe is built upon a standard, basic, recipe. You can use the basic one here or your own favourite - and then tart it up from there.
Don't plan on making a steak or anything the night you make this, it is very filling. Just a green salad is perfect, maybe a little bread if you are like me and insist on having bread with everything.
I served this sourdough from the Bread Baker's Apprentice. I have been nurturing the seed culture, then the barm, and finally the dough.. for eight days. It won't win any beauty contests but is does have that distinctive sourdough flavour. And it is dense. I might "spike" the next one with a little store-bought yeast.
Apple and Walnut Risotto with Gorgonzola
main courses | serves Serves 8
Jamie Oliver
• 1 x basic risotto recipe - *below this recipe*
• 700ml/1¼ pints hot vegetable or chicken stock
• 100g/3½oz butter
• 1–2 small handfuls of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus a block for grating
• 200g/7oz gorgonzola cheese, diced
• 100g/3½oz soft goat's cheese, crumbled
• 2 crunchy eating apples, cored, halved, and finely chopped, tossed in lemon juice
• a small bunch of fresh marjoram, leaves picked and chopped
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
a handful of walnuts
• extra virgin olive oil
This is like a Waldorf salad! The combo of strong cheese with apples and walnuts just works. If you can get hold of quality gorgonzola, please do – the sweetness of the apples really offsets it. I've used marjoram here, but thyme works just as well. JO
First make your basic risotto recipe, then put a large saucepan on a medium to high heat and pour in half the stock, followed by all your risotto base. Stirring all the time, gently bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer until almost all the stock has been absorbed. Add the rest of the stock a ladleful at a time until the rice is cooked. You might not need all your stock. Be careful not to overcook the rice – check it throughout cooking to make sure it's a pleasure to eat. It should hold its shape but be soft, creamy and oozy. And the overall texture should be slightly looser than you think you want it.
Turn off the heat, beat in your butter, Parmesan, gorgonzola, goat's cheese, chopped apple and marjoram. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed. Put a lid on the pan and leave the risotto to rest for a minute so the cheese can really ooze into it. While you're waiting, gently heat the walnuts in a pan. Then either take the risotto to the table and let everyone help themselves, or divide it between individual serving plates. Put a block of Parmesan on the table for grating over. Sprinkle with the walnuts and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil before tucking in.
A Basic Risotto Recipe
Jamie Oliver
This is a great recipe for making risotto. You want it to be smooth, creamy and oozy, not thick and stodgy. JO
• approx• 1.1 litres/2 pints stock (chicken, fish or vegetable as appropriate)
• 1 knob of butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• ½ a head of celery, finely chopped
• 400g/14oz risotto rice
• 2 wineglasses of dry white vermouth (dry Martini or Noilly Prat) or dry white wine
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 70g/2½oz butter
• 115g/4oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Stage 1
Heat the stock. In a separate pan heat the olive oil and butter, add the onions, garlic and celery, and fry very slowly for about 15 minutes without colouring. When the vegetables have softened, add the rice and turn up the heat.
Stage 2
The rice will now begin to lightly fry, so keep stirring it. After a minute it will look slightly translucent. Add the vermouth or wine and keep stirring — it will smell fantastic. Any harsh alcohol flavours will evaporate and leave the rice with a tasty essence.
Stage 3
Once the vermouth or wine has cooked into the rice, add your first ladle of hot stock and a good pinch of salt. Turn down the heat to a simmer so the rice doesn't cook too quickly on the outside. Keep adding ladlefuls of stock, stirring and almost massaging the creamy starch out of the rice, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next. This will take around 15 minutes. Taste the rice — is it cooked? Carry on adding stock until the rice is soft but with a slight bite. Don't forget to check the seasoning carefully. If you run out of stock before the rice is cooked, add some boiling water.
Stage 4
Remove from the heat and add the butter and Parmesan. Stir well. Place a lid on the pan and allow to sit for 2 minutes. This is the most important part of making the perfect risotto, as this is when it becomes outrageously creamy and oozy like it should be. Eat it as soon as possible, while the risotto retains its beautiful texture.
Jamie Oliver's Apple and Walnut Risotto with Gorgonzola for the Food Network Chefs Cooking Challenge.
Coming Soon:
I am going to be reviewing a Paderno Spaetzle Maker soon, from the CSN family of stores. At first I was tempted to choose one of the groovy mailboxes, but since I married a keen hobbyist carpenter I had better wait until he builds me one. (Hear that, hubby?)
Anyway, the spaetzle maker is something that I have had my eye on for a while, can you believer I have never made spaetzle?
If you have a favourite recipe or style of serving spaetzle, I would love to hear about it.
Wish me luck!

(CBS/WFOR/AP) MIAMI - Adam Kaufman, a South Florida real estate executive accused of strangling his wife to death in 2007, has been found not guilty of second degree murder.
A jury acquitted Kaufman on Tuesday after about eight hours of deliberation, reports CBS Miami.
Jury Forman Bernard Jennings reportedly said the jury did not think the state proved its murder case beyond a reasonable doubt.
"There was a plethora of circumstances that led to reasonable doubt. There wasn't one circumstance that led to reasonable doubt," Jennings said, according to CBS Miami.
The station reports that Kaufman called 911 in November 2007, saying he found his wife collapsed on the bathroom floor of their Aventura home.
Eleonora Kaufman, 33, was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
During the trial, prosecutors said Kaufman has strangled his wife, leaving pronounced markings on her neck, burst blood vessels in her eyes and bruises on her body. No evidence for a motive was presented.
Defense attorneys argued evidence was overlooked by the homicide detective and medical examiner. They said Kaufman's wife died of an undiagnosed heart disease and a fall onto a magazine rack.
According to the Miami Herald, Jennings said he firmly believed the defense theory .
After the verdict, Kaufman's family members cried and fell into each others' arms in relief, reports CBS Miami. Adam Kaufman and his twin brother posed for a picture with the verdict form.
"We all knew this day would come," said Kaufman, "It was just a question of when - and today's the day."
Kaufman said that Eleonora is never far from his heart, CBS Miami reports. He said, "There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about her, and she's here she was watching over this and she can finally rest in peace."

Hi Leslie; First of all, there is no one test that can diagnose Lupus. The diagnostic tools can be divided into three major parts:
1. Medical History 2. Complete Physical Examination 3. Laboratory Tests
Lupus is a disease of multiple pathogenetic mechanisms affecting many organs of the body and is characterized by abnormalities of the immune system. These abnormalities are manifested primarily by the presence of many autoantibodies in the serum of which ANA's are the greatest clinical significance.
The ANA frequencies found in Lupus are as follows: anti-dsDNA-40%; anti-histones-70%; anti-SM=30%; anti-RNP=32%' anti-SS-A/R0= 35%; and anti SS-B/La=15%. Antibodies to dsDNA and to Sm are considered to be specific for Lupus and are considered to be only one of the diagnostic criteria for Lupus. Antibodies to histones are also found in drug induced lupus; Antibodies to RNP are also found in other Mixed Conncective Tissue Diseases; and antibodies to SS-A/Ro and to SS-B/La are also found in Sjorgen's Syndrome.
It appears that your doctor did a thorough Helix Diagnostic lupus screening tests which detects the significant antibodies associated with Lupus - dsDNA, histones, Sm, RNP, SS-A/Ro, and SS-B/La antibodies.
Sera positive on the Lupus screen should be tested for the specific autoantibodies indicative of various systemic rheumatic diseases. Sera negative on the Lupus Screen will be negative for those autoantibodies associated with Lupus and, therefore, other diagnoses should be considered.
Anti-SM = These antibodies are named after a patient (Smith). They react with another part of the cell nucleus. They are very rarely found in conditions other than Lupus.
Anti-SSA/Ro= These are found in some Lupus patients, especially those with a certain type of sun sensitivity. If a pregnant mother has anti-SSA/Ro antibodies, it is likely that her child will have a certain type of congenital heart disorder. Anti-Ro antibodies are also found in Sjorgen's syndrome.
Anti-RNP (ribonucleoprotein) antibodies= These antibodies occur commonly in Lupus. Women develop of group of symptoms that do not point strongly to Lupus, but to a combination of several connective tissue diseases. This has been called "Mixec Connective Tissue Disease" or "Overlap Syndrome". Anti-RNP antibody levels are often very high in this disorder.
I hope that I have been able to answer your question..let me know if you need anything further!
Best of Luck

Target: Potholes
There's more to fixing potholes than the average person might think. The City of Riverton will use its first chunk of optional 1 percent sales tax money to repair potholes and other street damage around town. There is a schedule to follow, based on traffic volume on the streets. In other words, this will not be the job consisting of drive-by pothole patching. It will be organized, systematic, and most welcome.
The sooner this work can start, the better.
Fair scrapbook
The Fremont County Fair is complete. As we begin preparations for our annual Fremont County Fair Scrapbook edition, we encourage anyone with a post-fair message --particularly those who want to thank buyers at the Junior Livestock Auction from Saturday -- to contact the Ranger advertising staff ASAP.
The scrapbook will be ready to roll in a couple of weeks, complete with ribbon results from all county fair events. Ads from junior livestock exhibitors are part of this special edition's keepsake quality.
Five in the 500
Back in January, when we began our weekly investment experiment we call Five in the 500, it was up in the air whether an imaginary investor putting an imaginary $500 into an index fund based only on the daily rise or fall of the Standard & Poor's 500 index would be a winner or a loser.
More than halfway through the 12-month exercise, there is no longer any question about it. If you actually had done this with $500, you would think yourself as an investing genius.
Last week, the S&P 500 soared to a new all-time high. It cooled off slightly Monday, but the investment still looks rock solid. Had you sunk 500 bucks into the S&P 500 on the day of President Obama's second inauguration, as of Tuesday morning it would have been worth $594.80.
Bowman's story
Rarely will anyone hear a more death-defying story, nor a more inspiring one, than that of Dana Bowman. He's the military skydiver who, by all accounts, should have been killed in the terrifying midair collision years ago that did take the life of his jumping partner. As it was, Bowman's legs were severed from his body when the two collided in the sky. That's right -- he jumped from the plane in one piece but landed in three.
But Bowman is still with us, still skydiving. He wowed increasingly large audiences at Crowheart last week as he jumped from an airplane to the ground supported by a parachute and trailing a gigantic American flag during his descent. His gleaming artificial legs are second nature to him now, and he brought an inspiring message during the fundraising events at Crowheart.
If you didn't read Ranger staff writer Andy Novotny's feature story Sunday about this man, then it is well worth finding that edition or seeing it online here.
Making the mail
Last week, The Ranger's weekday editions left our premises in time to meet the post office's new deadline to guarantee next-day delivery to our mail subscribers all four days of publication.
We made it fairly comfortably Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and we got in just under the wire for the new 3:30 p.m. deadline which recently has been set by the Riverton post office. That's a full hour sooner than it was during the spring, and two hours sooner than it was a few years ago.
We are making adjustments internally to meet this new requirement as often as possible -- and we are making it almost every time.
But if you subscribe to The Ranger by mail and did not receive your paper on the next day as expected last week, then that is an issue to be taken up with the post office. Management leaders at the post office want to know if the papers are being missed even when we make the deadline. We held up our end of the deal last week, and that's all we can do when it comes to postal delivery which, in the end, falls to the post office rather than us.
Of course it is the goal of both The Ranger and the post office to get the mailed subscriptions to subscribers on the appointed day and time.
Customers, you will be the ones to keep both The Ranger and the post office on their toes.
Farewell to the fair for another year, and here's to a good week.
SUBSCRIBERS: Friday's edition of The Ranger was delivered to the Riverton post office at 3:30 p.m., in time to meet the postal deadline for next-day mail delivery.

Sandie Downey, from Australia, is our Guest Blogger for this post. You can go directly to her blog here. In this article, Sandie shares a paper bra she created for a breast cancer fundraiser.
I made this Hand Sewn Bra from Bazzill cardstock.
I drafted a pattern from scratch, then traced pattern directly onto Bazzill cardstock. For the "cups" I have handstitched them using a paper piercer and embroidery thread. Then I added some stamped images, brads, punches, kindy glitz and gems.
I created this for an October OTP Challenge at The Little Scrapbook Shop in Australia. It's all part of the fun for raising money for Breast Cancer.


text: I've heard a couple of podcasters saying that it is more economical, for a stay of longer than 6 days, to get an Annual Pass for WDW, purchase the Tables in Wonderland card and try to get a room with the AP discount. They claim that the AP discounts on a deluxe resort room will more than pay for the cost of the AP itself and the TiW card. I was wondering if any Aussies had tried this, and if so, is it really worth it? I may have left my run a little late, I leave on my trip for an 8 day stay (6 days park tickets) at the end of November. It just seems a little ridiculous: buying an annual pass when I don't live in the country and will not be returning to the park. Am I crazy?

There are currently over 400 people employed in the diagnostics facility.
The company says there is over-capacity in the manufacturing area.
It is seeking the voluntary redundancies in both the manufacturing area and support roles.
It says it is offering a competitive package and outplacement services including assistance with training.
Abbott employs almost 4,000 people in 13 sites in eight counties, but says the announcement regarding the Finisklin plant in Sligo does not impact on any of its other sites.

Reid: Burris didn't out-fox me
The wiliest fox in the Senate is bristling at the notion that he has been out-foxed by a DC novice with a dubious political pedigree.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said "It's simply not true" he's been out-maneuvered by Illinois Senate hopeful Roland Burris, who seems to be leveraging his way into a seat Reid sorely wanted to deny him.
Reid, joined by President-Elect Obama, had initially said Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's pick of Burris "tainted" the appointment.
But he changed his tune today after a 45-minute meeting with the former Illinois AG, saying all that stood between Burris and likely Senate approval of his seating was a state court decision and Burris's testimony before a state panel, where he will presumably say that he didn't pay fr the seat.
That's "a pretty easy hurdle," added Reid, smarting from an unexpected, embarrassing defeat at a time when he commands an overwhelming majority of the upper chamber.
Asked if he regretted so stridently defending his initial decision to block Burris from being seated, the Leader shot back: "If you didn't know anything it doesn't look very good," referring to the circumstances of the appointment.
Blago, after all, had been taped describing Obama's vacated seat "an effin' gold mine!" Reid explained.
That set reporters and staffers to snickering under the ornate chandelier of the Capitol's LBJ room.
Reid spoke affectionately about Burris, revealing that he broke the ice at their morning meeting by asking the man him to tell the leader a little bit about himself.
He seemed less warm when asked about California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the outgoing head of the Rules Committee, who has declared the Burris pick legal -- and urged Reid to walk back his opposition.
"With all due respect to Dianne," he told reporters, "It's not a legal appointment."

I have a problem with my hair. It seems that lately I've been getting these strange bumps on my head that seem to be pimples only on a very different scale. They are quite rough and I can tell that there is a dense liquid behind them. Out of curiousity I've popped them and they usually scab and go away. But about a day or two after they go away, they leave a baldspot, usually the size of nickel or dime. Sometimes the spot is bald for more than a month and sometimes only a few weeks. I'm afraid to cut my hair because I know they will be clearly visible. What do you think this is?
It sounds like you have recurrent folliculitis. See a good dermatologist and get it treated. Infections can produce temporary balding around the infection itself.

Yes, but the non-index plan PREPARE generated will be used until the end of the session, nut only until the end of the transaction. Imagine that it wasn't explicitly PREPARED (where you might say this is acceptable), but rather just a query inside a plpgsql function, maybe even called from some app using connection pooling. This means that the non-index using plan might get used for a quite long time, which contradics the work Tom did on plan invalidation I think. Maybe Tom can comment on wheter it's possible to use plan invalidation to eventually get rid of a stale plan in this context? greetings, Florian Pflug

A gang of Birmingham car thieves who netted more than £1million after stealing Land Rovers in a five-year crime spree have been jailed for more than 15 years.
The crooks were sentenced at Northampton Crown Court for 11 separate offences including conspiracy to steal, conspiracy to convert criminal property and concealing criminal property.
The gang targeted farm owners and builders who owned Land Rovers between 2005 and 2010 in Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Buckinghamshire and Warwickshire.
The investigation, which began in August 2010, saw police identify two men from Kettering and Northampton as the thief and driver in the scam.
They would drive the stolen cars to Birmingham to meet the handler, Martin Warren from Castle Bromwich. He ran a family business in Forge Lane, Minworth, specialising in the sale of Land Rovers and parts.
He was supported by his partner Jacqueline Neal who ran the accounts with their son Christopher Neal. Their other son, Jason Warren also helped run the business.
During the investigation, officers found that more than £1million had been deposited in the accounts of Jacqueline and Christopher Neal between 2005 and 2010.
The Warren family, all of Crawshaws Road, Birmingham were jailed at Northampton Crown Court.
Martin Warren, 52, was jailed for nine years. Jacqueline Neal, also 52, was sentenced to two years and nine months. Christopher Neal, 29 and also from Crawshaws Road was sentenced to two years. Jason Warren, aged 32, was sentenced to one year and six months.

MANVILLE — The Royce Brook today is no deeper than a puddle, its water tinged red by clay along the banks. It runs into the Millstone River, just below the Wilhousky Street bridge in Manville. Under the bridge is a small waterfall, and on these summer days, water cascading over it creates a sound no more threatening than the gentle trickle of a backyard fountain.
The Millstone looks like a stagnant canal as it crawls along the southeast edge of the Lost Valley section of Manville. Water bugs dance on its surface, creating ripples like raindrops, but there is no rain. Downstream, where the Millstone empties into the Raritan, the big river is narrow. In some places the mud banks, usually covered with water, are cracked and dried into walkable dirt.
It has been a hot summer with violent storm bursts, but little prolonged rain. The three rivers that make the Lost Valley a peninsula are shallow and placid. They hardly look like the ragers that one year ago today roared over their banks after Tropical Storm Irene.
They look harmless, incapable of swamping almost all of the 400 homes in Lost Valley, forcing evacuations and, eventually, another round of federal government buyouts in a flood-prone neighborhood.
The Lost Valley is disappearing block by block. Across from the baseball diamonds and playground and acres of green playing fields at Lincoln Park, is another expansive greenway. Look close, and you can see where grass has overgrown sidewalks that once led to homes. Four blocks' worth, all gone. Forty homes, 40 families, have been bought out since Hurricane Floyd in 1999.
"We don't want to lose any more homeowners," said Ed Komoroski, a councilman and Realtor in Manville. "A community can't survive on just businesses and renters."
There will be 15 more buyouts in Irene's aftermath, at a cost of $3.8 million. But buyouts are only a fraction of this year's dry-weather evacuation. Twenty-one homes are for sale in the valley, some with prices as low as $30,000. Another 20 or so are abandoned; people underwater, with banks, with nature.
A vacant house on Boesel Avenue, surrounded by a fence to keep vandals out, has the words "DEAR BANK, BYE" written on spray paint. The house next door is buried in uncut thicket and junked. Around two corners, there are three others. All are papered with orange stickers deeming them unsafe.
Down the street, the Cabral family home is impeccable; freshly repainted and repaired after Irene. But after eight years in the valley, they are taking a buyout.
Lucia Cabral said they bought the home for $295,000, and will accept $250,000 to leave.
"It is a nice area. Quiet. Good for the kids," Cabral said. "But with the floods …"
Cabral's words resonate throughout the Valley.
"This is Shangri-La," said Danny Greco from his deck overlooking the Millstone. "I got waterfront property. I got a boat out there. I pulled a 27-inch channel cat (catfish) out of the river a few days ago. It weighed 4½ pounds."
Greco has been here 18 years. Floyd brought water up to cover his deck. Irene brought it to the banister.
"It gets worse all the time," said Greco, who pointed to the construction of new flood berms at Zarephath, the Christian compound across the river in Franklin. "They were 4 feet, now they're 8 feet. So where is all that water gonna go?"
This question has plagued Lost Valley since Tropical Storm Doria, which hit 41 years ago this week. The second question is what to do.
Some residents, like Ken Burlew, who lives across the street from the Cabrals, want a buyout but were denied. Burlew is the focal point of "The Lost Valley: Rising Water, Sinking Hopes" a half-hour documentary by The Star-Ledger's Andre Malok.
"This is the third time in four years we've had to start all over again," he says.
In the years after Floyd, the Army Corps of Engineers, began a $6 million study of the Raritan-Millstone-Royce flood zones, with plans to eventually build levees and floodgates, similar to those now at Bound Brook.
Chris Gardner, a spokesman for the corps, said while the study never officially stopped, the funding began to dry up.
"Since 2002, they only spent $150,000, which is nothing," said Manville Mayor Angelo Corradino.
In February, a new regional Raritan-Millstone Flood Control Commission was formed to push the federal government back into action.
"Obviously, we see this as a positive development," Gardner said.
Said Corradino: "We met with (Sen.) Frank (Lautenberg) a month ago. We're making progress. I think. I'm 65. I'm not sure I'll live to see it."
Progress in flood remediation is slow. Just ask the people of the Green Brook Flood Commission, which got its start in 1971, only to see stops and starts over the next 40 years. Irene was the first time the floodgates in downtown Bound Brook were used.
"People in Manville are saying, 'Let's figure it out. Let's do something. One thing or the other, but get it done,'" Komoroski said.
Until then …
"The paranoia is terrible," Corradino said. "Now we have Isaac coming, and another one after that. People have to live, being worried all the time."

Rebel freshman and senior pair to compete at state
Champlin Park swimmers Elise Magalis and Gina Grandner have taught each other plenty and will take one more challenge as they represent their school at next week's state meet.
"I think Gina's going to the Olympics," Magalis said. "She's fast, a very naturally gifted swimmer."
Grandner reached state in her first varsity season as a freshman. She had help from her senior teammate and team captain in growing as a varsity swimmer this season.
"She would always push me in practice," Grandner said.
The Rebels senior has seen her freshman teammate emerge this season with quick speed in the pool. Grandner qualified for state in her first varsity season as a freshman. She won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1 minute, 57.33 seconds in the finals.
"She had the lead pretty much the whole way," Thiel said.
Elise Magalis also qualified in second-place with a time of 2 minutes. She will make her second trip to state.
"Competing against her was pretty cool because we both wanted to go to state, and we did that together," Grandner said about Magalis.
Grandner also won the 500-yard freestyle in a time of 5:16.25. She improved her time by seconds from the preliminaries (5:21.75). She beat McKenzie Johnson of Blaine (5:17.21) by a second. Magalis came in at fifth.
Both reached state by finishing first or second, so they will need to hit the state qualifying times at state in the preliminaries in order to advance to the finals.
"They have a pretty good chance that they're going to do that, but they're going to have to swim best times," Thiel said.

- Financial woes follow project even after developer's suicide.
- Lawsuit targets Zack Davidson's former lawyer, accountant and broker.
- Davidson used some of money for project to settle sexual harassment lawsuit.
Disgraced developer Zack Davidson committed suicide in January, but the legal battle continues regarding his high-profile, but financially troubled Landmark development in Greenwood Village
Last Friday, the Marin Metropolitan District sued Davidson's former lawyer, accountant and real estate broker in Arapahoe County District Court on fraud charges surrounding the planned development next to the Landmark and Marin condominium towers, near East Belleview Avenue and Interstate 25.
The district is seeking to collect damages to be "proven at trial," according to the 14-page complaint. The district is seeking a jury trial.
Before Davidson took his own life by hanging himself in a forest outside of Tampa, Fla., he had been indicted of stealing or misdirecting more than $3.1 million from the Marin Metropolitan District between July 2008 and April 2010. A warrant had been issued for his arrest.
The most recent complaint charges Davidson was paid $5.23 million from the district, without the full knowledge of the district's board. In total, the district paid Davidson more than $8 million, according to the complaint. The district is being represented by Anthony L. Leffert of Robinson Waters & O'Dorisio.
Leffert, on Tuesday, said that he is limited to what is in the complaint, as far as any comments, he can make.
He said, however, that the district will aggressively attempt to recover any money that was "fraudulently" taken from the district. He said the money they hope to recover "for the benefit of taxpayers" will be used to pay back debt on bonds issued by the district and will be "something north of $3.2 million."
The money was to be used for a planned European Village at the Landmark, but funds were only spent to demolish an office building and to pay for some grading on the site. Davidson had planed to develop 160 manor homes and 60 brownstones in the village.
Instead, Davidson, 45 at the time of his death, used the money for a number of things that did not benefit the district's mission to create infrastructure for the next phase of the development, according to the lawsuit.
Among other things, Davidson used some of the money to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also says district funds were used to pay Davidson about $34,200 a month.
Defendants in the lawsuit are:
- Paul R. Cockrel, of Collins, Cockrel & Cole, P.C., who was Davidson's lawyer on the project.
- Leann M. Jones, Davidson's certified public accountant.
- Rike Palese, who was appointed to the district's board by Davidson and also was a listing broker for the Landmark and Marin towers.
"I will say this is not true," said Palese, a longtime, well-respected and successful broker, known for selling luxury homes.
Palese said he was aware the lawsuit might be filed, but has not seen it.
"I'm sure my lawyer would not want me to comment, so I have no comment," he said.
Jones, reached in her office in Texas, said she has no comment. Cockrel did not return a call.
According to the lawsuit, "the investigation has revealed that Davidson, with the advice and participation of Defendants Cockrel, Jones and Palese, abused his position as president of the Board of the District improperly diverted monies by wrongfully requisitioning and approving payments by the District to the developer entities.
"At the direction of Davidson, and with the knowledge and participation of Defendants Cockrel, Jones and Palese, the District caused $8 million to be paid to reimburse sums for District expenses when in fact many of those funds were for matters which were not used for District improvements."
The investigation followed a criminal indictment filed by the Arapahoe County District Attorney's office on Dec. 27, 2012, charging Davidson with 20 counts of theft, forgery, embezzlement and fraud. A few days later, Davidson killed himself.
The latest civil lawsuit goes on to say that the funds were "spent for illegal private purposes of the developers and Davidson including such things as payments to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit against a developer; salaries of a developer and sales employees; settlement of threatened litigation by a contractor in the Landmark building; payment for engineering services which were not intended for public infrastructure; and other funds disbursed to the developers for subcontractor invoices that were never paid."
The lawsuit does not identify the developer who had filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Davidson.
The lawsuit also said there are no "invoices or backup documentation for the ledger" for more than $5.23 million paid to Davidson on July 14, 2008.
The allegations were first brought to the attention of authorities by former district board member Chad Cox.
The lawsuit claimed the three defendants, "aided, abetted, assisted, and advised Davidson in a fraudulent scheme to misrepresent and misstate requisitions of alleged District expenses to Davidson and his development entities. Each of these Defendants participated in this scheme knowing that the requisitions and certain amounts paid to the developers were fraudulent and that the monies paid to the developers were not used for the expenses of constructing District facilities."
The lawsuit said the three defendants "gained substantial financials benefit in their roles as counsel for the District, accountant for the District, Director and exclusive real estate broker for the Landmark and Meridian condominium buildings."
It went on to say that Cockrel and his firm were "negligent and fell below the standard of care… as to the lawful, proper, and non-fraudulent course of action which the District should have pursued in reimbursing Davidson and the developer entities for legitimate District expenses."
It also said Cockrel "fell below the standard of care of a reasonably competent special district attorney in reviewing the Requisitions and properly advising the District and its Board as to what should be properly reimbursed."
Similar language was used to describe Jones as far as accounting.
The lawsuit said that Palese "breached his fiduciary duty to the District and to the Board of Directors in failing to insure that the disbursement of District funds were legitimate and proper and that any Requisitions were accurate and proper expenses of the District.
"Defendant Palese further owed a fiduciary duty not to engage in fraud; not to engage in fraudulent concealment; and to properly disclose and advise the District and the Board on the lawful and legitimate course of its business and functions. Defendant Palese's participation in the fraud and the fraudulent concealment was done intentionally, recklessly, and wantonly."

An Arizona-based firearms dealer is refusing to do business with gun owners or potential gun buyers who voted for Barack Obama, and whether it costs him money, he is providing those potential customers with what he considers an object lesson about actions and consequences.
Cope Reynolds, proprietor at Southwest Shooting Authority in Pinetop, Ariz., told Examiner Friday that he is absolutely serious and he does not care if it upsets some people. His approach is visceral. It made headlines on AmmoLand and The Gun Wire, and it is garnering support from gun rights activists, as can be seen in the comments below.
"I've been trying to wake people up," he lamented.
Reynolds' approach is like a bucket of ice water, rather than a diplomatic nudge, however. The sign posted in the door of his shop says it all:
"If you voted for Barack Obama Your business is not welcome at Southwest Shooting Authority. You have proven you are not responsible enough to own a firearm."
Inside, another sign warns, "If you voted for Obama, please turn around and leave!"
As a reader of this column revealed, not every gun owner turned his back on Obama. A number of people who belong to various Pacific Northwest gun rights forums also indicated, either openly or by refusing to disclose, that they voted for the president. Apparently, the phenomenon is not confined to Washington and Oregon, where some gun owners are "blue bloods" in a political sense.
Reynolds is having none of it, and he no longer wants their business. A sign that was posted outside of his store announced an "Obama bin Biden" sale, which brought criticism from pro-Obama residents in his community, according to a newspaper article. Reynolds doesn't care. He wants to alienate those people, although upon reflection, it is not clear how he could enforce the policy.
If the idea spreads to other gun shops and then to the aisles at gun shows, Obama supporters may soon be shooting blanks. There is no indication that other firearms retailers have copied Reynolds, in Arizona or elsewhere in the Southwest. But the story just broke Friday.
Is it discrimination? Retailers retain the right to refuse business to anyone, and in the case of a gun dealer, he is not violating anyone's Second Amendment right by telling them to pound sand. He even bought advertising space in the White Mountain Independent newspaper to explain his position.
"Effective immediately, if you voted for Obama, your money is no good here," the advertisement says. "You have proven beyond a doubt that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm. We have just put a sign up on the front door to save you the trouble of walking all the way in here…."
Reynolds is a transplant. He originally had a business in Farmington, N.M. but moved to Pinetop a few years ago. It is a small community more than 100 miles northeast from Phoenix in the White Mountains; the kind of place "nobody ever heard of."
After this week, it's going to be on everybody's map.

As most of you know a long time active member of our group and good friend to many, Tom Dunning, recently passed away. For his final wishes Tom didn't request a memorial service of any kind. A few of Tom's closest friends in the group brainstormed to find a good way to remember him and eventually it was decided to organize a day of gaming in his honor. There will be a short informal service at 12:30pm and open gaming afterwards until about 10pm. Laurie is providing food,
at no charge, for the event at 1pm so we ask everyone to please RVSP as soon as possible to give her some idea of how much to bring. Ryan and a few other people who know Tom's gaming tastes are preparing a list of games to play. If you'd like to contribute to the list of games or make any other suggestions for the event please post on the forum thread. Everyone is welcome and
there is no charge for the food or the room. I'm sure Tom would love to see a gigantic gathering of gaming goodness in his honor.
This was an excellent time. Kudos to those who made it happen. I think they hit their mark.

What was a pleasant and heartfelt memorial service for one of the most prolific gamers around was also a great day playing. Thanks to Laurie for the food (which was great) and everyone who helped out. Tom would have been proud.

golden chicken
stuffed shells in red sauce, not meat sauce
garden salad w/Italian dressing
oven baked potatoes
pasta salad
buttered corn
relish tray
fruited jello

Hopefully there is something that everyone will be able to eat.

I remember these trains from my childhood. This one is by the side of the road – part of an ice cream shop outside of Bay City, Wisconsin.
Last night, as I lay in bed, I could hear the distant trains that pass below the bluff along the Mississippi. I love the sound – distant, eerie wails but comforting somehow. Hearing them in the night, they feel subterranean – buried in memory – dream trains, bearing hidden cargo, moving between the big cities at night, out of and back into the dark. Echoes of an earlier time, but here still, calling me now.
Visiting the Midwest is like that for me. I feel surrounded by the ghosts of old selves, haunted by the layered dust of memory. My sister and I touch those times tenderly, casually. Being here feels like traveling backward in time into a present that holds the shapes, smells and tastes of the past.
It used to be that coming home felt like trying to put on ill-fitting, outgrown clothes. Now it is different. Time and space seem jumbled, wrinkled and folded in on each other. Everything is familiar and I am the stranger, traveling on the dream train. Destination unknown.
On another note: Jon Katz has been sharing poems that go to the heart and this one is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. There is no confusion here: past and present woven, shining with appreciation.

CENTRE - A Tuesday luncheon meeting drew three dozen elected officials and community leaders to discuss the four-laning of U.S. Highway 411 from Centre to the Georgia state line and on to the four-lane portion of the highway near Georgia Highlands College south of Rome.
The meeting, coordinated by the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, was attended by officials from Cherokee County, Centre, and Leesburg in Alabama and Cave Spring and Rome, Ga.
Also present were representatives from the Alabama and Georgia departments of transportation.
In her introduction, Theresa Hulgan, executive director of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, said, "We want to target and get the word out that we support the project to four-lane 411. This is an important project to us. It will provide easy access from Interstate 59 to I-75. Truck traffic is increasing, so safety is an issue."
Hulgan said, "The Pemco plant in Leesburg has expanded and sends many trucks each week to the Port of Savannah and back. American Apparel in Centre has received more contracts and is trucking completed products - as is the Leesburg KTH plant, which makes Honda parts. Weiss Lake Egg plant and the East Alabama Truss also transport goods by truck."
She said that Joe McInnis, the Alabama director of transportation, "visited Cherokee County in late November and was shown the recommended 411 four-laning route. Cherokee County is in a growth phase and 411 is an important tourism route. Cave Spring, Georgia, has all the antique shops that draw visitors and Cherokee County, Alabama, has Weiss Lake. Tourists' dollars are important. We need a better way of getting the dollars into the area. It is 27 miles from east Centre to the current 411 four-lane north of Cave Spring."
District 39 state Rep. Richard Lindsey, D-Centre, expressed appreciation to the Georgia and Alabama officials for cooperating in the push for the highway project.
"This would be one of the less-expensive highway projects in the state - as a connector to the interstates," he said.
Those attending stressed that the terrain along the current U.S. Highway 411 North route from Centre to Cave Spring is relatively flat, thus expensive blasting and cutting of hillsides would not be necessary.
Following the meeting, Lindsey explained that one of the purposes of the meeting was to gather interested parties and show support for the project. "This is the second annual meeting we have had on the topic," he said. "I was very pleased with the attendance."
District 10 state Sen. Larry Means, D-Attalla, said, "These projects take a long time. The squeaking wheel gets the grease, so we are going to continue pushing."
Cave Spring Mayor Rob Ware said, "Our City Council certainly supports the project."
David Doss, of Rome, said, "There is much interest on the Georgia side of 411. However, the Georgia DOT is in transition now with a new director who has been in office only six weeks. Also there is less federal money coming these days. The Georgia Legislature opened yesterday. We'll see how things go for funding enhancement."
Lindsey asked about the status of the Cartersville to I-75 four-laning project. Doss explained that the original estimate for the 5.5-mile stretch was $400 million.
"It has now been re-engineered, with a $180 million estimate," Doss said. "There is to be one more public hearing in February. The environmental document is to be signed in April. One group that owns 1,800 acres of land along the route may take us to court and slow things down, though."
Johnny Harris, of the Alabama Department of Transportation's Guntersville office, said "the bid for the four-laning of 411 from Gadsden to Turkeytown is to be awarded in February."
After the completion of the 411 project to Turkeytown, only 7 miles of the highway from Gadsden to Centre would remain two lane.
Hulgan and several others said the four-laning of U.S. Highway 411 in the Georgia direction would benefit the almost-completed Centre-Cherokee County-Piedmont regional airport. The airport is only a five-minute drive from U.S. Highway 411.
Hulgan read a letter from Alabama Gov. Bob Riley, who stated his support of the U.S. 411 four-laning project.
Additional joint Cherokee County, Ala.-Floyd County, Ga., meetings will be held to emphasize support for the four-laning proposal.

Gov. Dave Heineman has proposed a 5-percent increase in state aid to public schools for both fiscal year 2013-2014 and 2014-15 an increase of $125 million.
This is a great state and it starts with our citizens, Heineman said. Our students of today are the leaders of tomorrow, and it is critical to our future that they have affordable access to a quality higher education.
Heineman acknowledged the struggle of working-class families to afford higher education for their children. He has proposed giving $68.3 million to state colleges and universities to help the colleges freeze tuition for two years.
Community colleges would receive $10.7 million to offset similar tuition freezes.
