COFFS Harbour may have been belted by more than 350 mm of rain and 10 metre waves but it didn't stop the reigning AFL premiers the Sydney Swans from pushing ahead with their training camp at the holiday mecca.
Coach John Longmire said the club had worked closely with people on the ground in Coffs who gave them the green light yesterday.
"By the time we got up here the skies were blue and we had a fantastic training session on a ground (BCU International stadium) which looked like it didn't have much rain at all,'' Longmire told The Daily Telegraph.
"It was a good turn out from the locals.who have a fair bit to deal with over the last few days.
"The clinic later today at the school will be good as well.
"We had some of our fans turn up and tell us they've made trips not just to Sydney to see us but to Melbourne as well which is a fair effort."
While many AFL teams like Collingwood and Brisbane have travelled to Arizona and Utah for altitude training the Swans have kept it local and have never even left NSW for pre-season training.
"It gets down to affordability,'' Longmire said. "If we went on an altitude trip overseas it would cost a lot of money.
"It would be a four to five year commitment to make it worthwhile at hundreds of thousands of dollars a pop.
"It's a big commitment financially and something else would have had to give in our football department."
The Swans proved you don't have to spend a fortune and go to altitude to get fit.
Their Grand Final win over Hawthorn was set up by their best endurance athletes with Norm Smith Medallist Ryan O'Keefe, and fellow midfielders Jarrad McVeigh and Dan Hannebery are always in the lead group at Swans training.
"We still train really hard,'' Longmire said. "We had a big pre-season this year like we did last year and still managed to get a lot of work into our players.
"We think our football department is still well resourced and they don't miss out on much.''
The Swans are looking to become the first team to win successive AFL premierships since the Brisbane Lions won three in a row from 2001 to 2003.While
Longmire won't talk about the prospect of the Swans going back to back he is delighted with the attitude of his players.
"I was really pleased when the younger players came back from their break,'' Longmire said. "Players like Lewis Jetta, Alex Johnson, Sam Reid and Luke Parker Jed Lamb came back in great condition.
"The players have presented themselves well and it's allowed us to make some quick progress.
"We've been able to push things forward because of that.''

Only someone like Bruce Springsteen could perform at the biggest American political demonstration in history and just be his regular self.
On June 12, 1982, American protesters stormed Central Park in New York City to peacefully rally against nuclear weapons and the nuclear arms race that continued to rage between the United States and the Soviet Union. The protest called for complete disarmament of U.S. weapons and an end to the arms race that perpetuated the long-standing Cold War.
At an estimated one million people, there has still been no greater crowd at political demonstration in the history of the country for any matter, let alone anti-nuclear demonstrations. You'd think we're overdue for some kind of massive protest in the 21st century, one fueled by social media that could just shatter that record.
The park's "Great Lawn" held the main stage where Springsteen performed, along with Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Joan Baez and others.
It must have been a surreal feeling for Springsteen and the other performers knowing that they were performing in front of a million people who were physically there at Central Park. Playing in front of millions of TV viewers sounds daunting enough; playing to a live crowd that big is epic beyond words.
Check out two performances from the historic demonstration below.
Bruce Springsteen – "The Promised Land"
Jackson Browne – "Running on Empty"

If you are in a leadership role, you're almost certainly going to have to deal with hiring people.
It's therefore inevitable that you will wrestle with the decision to promote from within or hire from the outside.
I have a reasonable amount of experience with both (getting it right and wrong!) and wanted to share some of the pro's and con's, aswell which strategy is most appropriate for different situations.
I went through a phase of almost exclusively promoting from within. The fact that someone (thank you Constant and Andrew!) gave me a shot early in my career at something I was entirely unproven at, definitely played a big part in that. I wanted to be able to do the same for others too.
Promoting from within
There are some very strong advantages promoting from within.
For a start, you can normally fill the role more quickly. This is because the recruitment process can be streamlined and you can move things around quickly internally (if you choose to make that trade off) to get them in the new role ASAP.
They also tend to get off to a quicker start than an external candidate. They already know how the company works (culture, politics, processes, who is who etc.) and most people in the company are already familiar with them too. It's also easier and more natural for the hiring manager to work with someone they know. It makes it easier to set expectations, give feedback and establish how work should be delivered.
Lastly, it sends a fantastic signal to the rest of the company when you promote from within. It highlights that there are opportunities for career progression, something which is often very important to people. This can have a big influence on how long people stay at a company.
However, there are some risks to promoting from within and they have bitten me hard a few times (particularly as I was learning the basics of leadership myself).
If you misjudge peoples potential to be able to perform in the short term and most importantly, to be able to grow into the role at the pace the business needs them to, it can be disastrous. A huge amount of effort and time is wasted, focus and execution suffers, relationships can be ruined and everyone goes through a stressful and crappy time (particularly the over-promoted individual).
It can often result in the over-promoted individual leaving the business (their old role is not always available and sometimes they've just had enough of you!). And because they are usually promoted because they were very good at their previous role, you've just lost a really good person.
I've definitely been successful in getting the individual back into their old role (or another suitable role), but sometimes the relationship and their work is never quite the same.
Lastly, remember that signal you wanted to send to the rest of the company? It's not a great sight for people watching to see someone struggling and ultimately fail. Even if you manage the situation fairly, it can be easy for people to assume you under supported or unfairly removed them.
There are a few things you can do to help mitigate the risks of promoting from within.
It's really important to spend time up front, thinking about your expectations for the role and person. What level do you need to them to perform at now and how will the role and your expectations evolve over the next 6-18 months? You need to feel comfortable that the person can handle it. Have an open conversation with them about this and be honest with each other about how it could pan out. There is no shame in it not quite being the right time for them.
You should also identify what training and support they will need, both now and down the line. You need to be confident you are capable of giving this to them.
Sometimes giving the person the role on a 3 or 6 month trial can work well (holding their old position as a fallback option can be a good idea too). This makes it easier to undo if things don't work out. But only a little bit. This type of set up this can have it's own unique problems and in my experience I think it's probably best to go 'all in' or not at all. You either believe they can do it and will support them in line with that view or you don't.
Promoting from within can be tricky and if you get it wrong a couple of times, it's easy to be tempted to play it safe and have a preference to hire from the outside. This was certainly true for me at one point.
Hiring from the outside
Hiring from the outside has some big benefits, the biggest being that you can bring someone in who's been there and done that (probably several times before). In fact, often they will come in and open your eyes for how things need to be done. You can end up learning a lot from hiring very experienced people.
Having a fresh set of eyes on something can be very powerful too. It's surprising how blinkered you can become when you are in the weeds or simply just used to your own environment. This is why new people tend to have quite a big impact in their first 3 months. They can see things you can't.
Like promoting from within, it can also send a good signal to the rest of the company when you hire externally (assuming you manage the situation in the right way).
Hiring a very experienced external candidate shows your intent to assemble the best talent in the market. It's a sign of ambition. Also, purely the fact that a very experienced individual wants to join the company can help raise confidence on the outlook for the company.
As you would expect, there are some risks to hiring from the outside though.
Unlike promoting from within, you don't know who you are working with and generally only get to spend a few hours with the individual before making the decision to bring them on board. Slick talkers can exaggerate their previous achievements and sometimes what you get isn't quite what you thought you were getting.
Whether the individual can fit into the culture of the company is also a big question mark. Of course, you can get a feel of this throughout the interview process, but you can never be 100% sure how things will pan out (I've seen some people let go in their first week due to a complete misfit of values).
The best way I have found to mitigate the risks of hiring from the outside is to get several people into the assessment process. This is critical. I've felt pretty good about some individuals to only find that some of my leadership team picked up on things I didn't and it then led to a decision not to hire.
You should also do your own homework and search out people who have worked with the individual before and ask some direct and discreet questions. If you can find someone in your company who has worked with them before, this is the best option. You can check supplied references, but you should be sceptical of these as they will likely be biased.
I've also been bitten hard a couple of times when hiring from the outside and ultimately had to exit them from the business. If you find yourself in this situation, be fair to the individual and if you can, be generous in their exit package. Ultimately a decent amount of responsibility lies with you for hiring them in the first place and parting ways in a positive (or at least neutral) way is always best.
So, hire from within or hire from the outside?
I don't think it's quite as simple as one being better than the other.
There will be times when hiring from the outside is always the preferable option. This is normally the case with very senior roles where the gap for internal people to jump is just too big.
The other time is when the role is to part of an entirely new function for the business. Often the skill set here can be quite specific and there won't be any experience of it within the company itself. A good example of this is perhaps marketing, legal, finance etc.
Going out and getting people from the outside will normally work better here. I've seen this happen really well on many occasions.
I mentioned above that my preference swung to hiring from the outside due to a couple of internal promotions not going particularly well. I think this was a mistake and since then, my risk profile for promoting from within has shifted. I'm willing to take a few more risks with it now.
As I mentioned above, it all comes down to your judgement on their potential and their ability to grow into the role inline with your expectations and how the business will move. Also, your commitment to provide the right coaching and support.
If I have a role and have a few good external candidates and a promising internal candidate that has the right attitude, is eager to prove themselves and has a solid view of where they sit now and where they need to get to in the next 6 months, I'm much more likely to give them the shot. The positives I mentioned for promoting from within outweigh the unknown for me.
The closing point I want to make is that building a culture that develops internal talent and regularly promotes from within isn't easy. It requires the company to make it a conscious priority and to consistently work hard at it.
High potential individuals need to be flagged early and there needs to be conversations with them about their ambitions and any support they need as early as possible. These conversations need to be ongoing.
Considering what peoples future potential is at the recruitment stage is also very important. This will help people grow into their roles and new roles in the future more easily.
Forecasting what types of roles you will be looking for in the future and doing succession planning for key people is very important too.
Having a great learning and development function can really help. They can often provide a lot of the forward thinking and structure. However, I think it's important that it's seen as the responsibility of leaders in the organisation to think about this and make it happen. They should be thinking about this and having the right conversation with people, using the L&D function for support.
Basically, it's about identifying what the businesses future needs will be and then being very conscious and organised in how people can and will move around the company in the future to fulfil these. It's also about doing everything you can to prepare them for it. There is some good stuff on this here.
Companies that do this well should be very proud. It isn't easy and takes a ton of effort and some talented people to pull it off. But the rewards are massive if you get it right.

Red Tag Crazy will be the death of us
Welcome to your new addiction -- instant bargain shopping.
My good friend Sara, a ferocious female who knows an entire dance routine to "This Is How We Do It" and once carried me piggy back style because my shoes hurt, alerted me to Red Tag Crazy this morning. Here's the pitch:
"We sell one hot item from one sought-after label at a time, casual and designer, at deep discounts of 50-80%. Quantities are limited, time is limited, and our attention span is limited - so stay awake. We'll work hard to find the brands you want, as long as you work hard to continue buying them. This is retail therapy at its finest, and you'll never hit the mall again."
I don't know about that, but I'll be checking in often. This morning's deal was this sexy little ruched top from Zlush marked down 76 percent to $9.77. Tomorrow, Red Tag Crazy is having a major denim push from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Quick hit shopping is really taking off. My boyfriend is constantly on Woot!, a similar site for gadgets. The hunt is fun, but tough. You have to make decisions in a snap when presented with deals. If you choose wrong, there's no going back. Take for instance last Saturday when I came home from a multimedia journalism seminar announcing how much I wanted a Flip video camera. His teeth clenched and he started to twitch. Two days earlier, he ALMOST bought one at a huge discount on Woot! SUCK!
This ten dollar shirt? I probably won't regret passing it up. But the nice thing is, my wallet won't regret me picking it up, either. Ah, discounts. Come to mama.

Project Status: This project began in August 2010 and was completed in July 2014
Hypoxia conditions have plagued the lower part of Lake Michigan's Green Bay and the Fox River for decades. We know nutrients are contributing to the problem, and we're developing a series of linked models that predict how changes in nutrients, runoff, oxygen levels, and watershed land use, as well as climate change, will affect the size and impact of the hypoxic zone. These tools will help managers estimate the costs and benefits of improving water quality in Green Bay.
Why We Care
Lake Michigan's Green Bay represents 7 percent of the surface area and 1.4 percent of the volume of Lake Michigan, but it contains 33 percent of the watershed and receives 33 percent of the basin's total nutrient load. With a 100-year history of high-nutrient pollution (causing eutrophia, low oxygen, fish kills, harmful algal blooms), the southern portion of the Green Bay behaves like a nutrient and sediment magnet. It captures much of the annual runoff of plant and animal particles and nitrogen in its sediments, which quickly become depleted of oxygen (hypoxic) from decay. Recent evidence suggests that hypoxia in the lower Green Bay and the Fox River areas may be worsening, along with a potential for more frequent and extensive dead zones and fish kills.
What We're Doing
We are quantifying the linkage between nutrient inputs and hypoxia and developing an assessment of the target levels of abatement needed to meet water quality goals, providing an evaluation of the planning efforts thus promoting successful management. The modeling will allow assessment of potential impacts of climate change on the biogeochemical behavior of the bay and on future nutrient loading, which will improve the development of better and more cost-effective management strategies.
The overall objective of this project is to improve the means to develop successful regulatory and nonregulatory nutrient mitigation strategies, to demonstrate the usefulness and value of nutrient mitigation plans, and to accurately estimate the costs and benefits for improving water quality.
To achieve this objective, we will:
A longer term objective is that this analytical approach for evaluating watershed and best management practices will be expanded and allow remediation and protection from future degradation of the larger Fox-Wolf watershed (including urban areas) and other locations in the future.
This work is part of the Coastal Hypoxia Research Program (CHRP). The project team is led by Dr. J. Val Klump of the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee Great Lakes WATER Institute with co-investigators from the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and the University of Wisconsin campuses at Green Bay, Madison, and Milwaukee.
What We're Finding
Remediation of oxygen-impaired waters in Green Bay will require a significant effort and cost for nutrient abatement and non-point source management throughout the watershed. Specific abatement targets are being developed and have been recommended by the federal (EPA), state, and regional planning efforts.

Oppressive heat and high water temperatures have complicated fishing in Tampa Bay. Stir an afternoon thunderstorm or two into the mix, and it completes a recipe for tough fishing.
What's hot: Those who have endured sunburns and near heat exhaustion have been rewarded with decent catches of snapper. Mangrove snapper are eating the new hatch of sardines as well as regular-sized shrimp. Range markers are a favorite hangout for snapper and other species. The braided types of line are particularly useful when fishing these locations or snapper hangouts in general.
Tactics: Mangrove snapper are scrappy fighters and can rip drag in most battles. Set the hook upon the first indication of a strike because these snapper are expert bait stealers. The first "tap" is usually the only chance you'll get. The second tap is them swimming away from a cleaned hook.
Tip: Slick surface conditions still prevail and offer anglers great opportunity to spot feeding or cruising fish. Recently we saw several schools of mackerel, ladyfish and jack all blasting the surface in a frenzy. It's a good idea to look for cobia when it's glassy. They can save the day when fishing is slow for other species. Smooth waters enable anglers to spot fish on the surface for hundreds of yards.

Personal and entry level storage market sees strong end to 2013
According to data from market intelligence specialist IDC worldwide shipments of personal and entry level storage (PELS) grew by 13.6 percent in 2013.
By the end of the year 75.2 million units had been shipped. Shipment values were up too, growing 6.2 percent over the year to reach $6.7 billion.
"The personal and entry-level storage market finished 2013 strong even with the difficult comparison with a strong second half from a year ago", says Liz Conner, research manager, Storage Systems at IDC. "In 2012, the fourth quarter showed exceptionally strong growth as the PELS market was in full recovery mode after the Thailand floods, which led to hard disk drive (HDD) shortages. Despite the resulting slight decline in 4Q13, the PELS market was able post year-over-year growth for all of 2013. This continued annual growth is driven by on-going consumer education, better marketing by vendors, and progressing product evolution to address items such as higher capacity, faster transfer speeds, and mobile device integration".
Most of the entry level growth has come from four-bay storage which provides a popular starting point for buyers. Demand for devices with more bays remained flat whilst shipments of two-bay units declined by 32.2 percent year-on-year. In the personal storage market single bay units dominate, accounting for 98.8 percent of units shipped.
The report also points out a shift away from 3.5-inch discs in favour of more portable 2.5-inch units. The 3.5-inch form factor saw an 18.8 percent decline in units shipped over 2012.
USB remains the most popular personal storage interface though the entry level business market prefers Ethernet. The newer Thunderbolt interface saw shipment growth of over 280 percent but started from a low base.
Demand for more capacity continues to grow too. In the 2.5-inch personal storage market 1TB devices took 58.2 percent of market share. In the entry level market 4TB devices proved most popular accounting for 28.2 percent of devices shipped.

Raise Productivity By Using Fresh Units
Whenever your task entails keeping other individuals safe, you will need by far the most reliable devices available. If the device performs using a chargeable battery power, it really is essential to get a system together with the lengthiest battery lifespan probable.
The reality is, some people will overlook to place their products on the battery charger prior to they depart work after the day. This can be perhaps more prone to occur prior to the weekend. Having a portable multi gas detector with the extensive life of the battery, managers along with the people who depend on gas monitors for security can be certain the unit the personnel are employing always has a charge.
Yet another attribute of the greatest devices is actually convenience. When the gadget workers work with are actually easy to read through and straightforward in order to program, they will probably detect damaging gases rapidly. They are a lot more effective at the job since they will not have to worry about lifeless products or maybe wrong measurements.
The most beneficial units can certainly operate accurate numbers so long as 6 months without the need to be programmed. When choosing a brand new product, it's required for the business or department to get the greatest devices available on the market. Whilst it might be less extravagant to buy a unit having a quite short battery, the price in lost productivity can certainly make the price savings negligible

Man killed in shooting at Fayetteville lounge
Posted November 19, 2012
Fayetteville, N.C. — Police are investigating the death of a man who was shot at a Fayetteville lounge over the weekend.
Investigators said Terry Jamil Jefferson, 22, died Sunday at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center after a shooting at Upscale Restaurant and Lounge at 225 S. Eastern Blvd.

Before Victoria Beckham's birthday, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, David and Victoria Beckham met accidentally at The Polo Lounge in LA. Tom greeted Victoria warmly but Katie did not extend her welcome. This caused gossip about the relationships among the celebrities.
People were waiting to see if Katie would attend Posh Spice's birthday party on Sunday night, April 20. In March, there were rumors that Katie and Victoria argued over tattoos and a magazine cover. It was said that Victoria was invited to appear for Vogue's cover and Katie became jealous over it. Other rumors said that Tom wanted Katie to stay a distance away from Victoria because of the influences on her.
The celebrity couple in Scientology did attend Victoria's birthday party at Via Veneto restaurant in Santa Monica, CA, on Sunday night. Other celebrity guests included Kate Beckinsale, Len Wiseman, Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Heidi Klum, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sir Elton John, Eva Longoria Parker, Usher, Tameka Foster, Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Kim Porter.

I have a GridView with all columns created by a template. My grid has to be re-created each time on postback. I have a custom built menu above the grid which fires a postback onClick (table cell).
My problem is when I click save in my menu, by the time page_load happens the data in the grid has been removed (can't find control); I believe this is because the view state is cleared.
Ideally I would like to use the built-in Grid.RowUpdating method, using javascript:__doPostBack('Grid$ctl06$ctl00',''). The only way I can get this to work is by using 'Grid.AutoGenerateEditButton = True', but I don't want the links displayed in the first column. How do I remove the links or is there a way to use this functionallty without using AutoGenerateEditButton.

You'll need an Iron Bucket and the ability to dig into the floor a little.
1. Dig a 2 by Hole in the ground that is 1 square deep
2. Fill your bucket/s with water from the ocean or a lake. You only need 2 deposits, so taking 2 buckets is recommended.
3. Bring the water back to your base and pour 1 Bucket in each corner of the square in the ground.
If done correctly, you should have a still 2 by 2 pool of water. Every time you take a bucket and use it on any of the squares, the others refill it to fullness.
Alternate method you could use: You will need 2 water buckets. Now dig a STRAIGHT line with 3 holes like this: If "=" equals a line, make this "===". Dig 3 holes STRAIGHT and then put 1 water bucket in each end and then get the Water from the middle and the water well keep regening so the water is Infinite.

Rihanna sparked concern among her fans when she burst into tears during a show at the Aviva Stadium as part of her ANTI World Tour.
The 28-year-old singer started weeping while performing her hit song Love The Way You Lie, leading worried fans to take to social media to find out what happened.
'Why was Rihanna crying today at her concert,' a concerned fan asked on Twitter.
Another said: 'I've never seen Rihanna cry. Why is she crying?'
Following the show, Rihanna took to Instagram to say she was so 'blessed' to have the fans that she does, although she didn't address why she was crying.
"What a night! Such an emotional show for me! I feel so lucky to have a team like the Navy man! I'm blessed! No matter what I'm on you always snatch me out of it! I am so grateful to have you all," she wrote.

Business News of Tuesday, 19 February 2013
Source: B&FT
Insurers are keeping a close eye on the increasing incidence of fire outbreaks in the country, which could push them to adjust fire insurance premiums upward, B&FT has gathered.
Already, fire-insurance claims from especially industrial and commercial property operators are beginning to surge following three large disasters in the last four months, including the Melcom and BBC Paints disasters.
This development is becoming an albatross around the neck of the industry as huge fire claims that could wipe-out fire premium income portfolio of companies are beginning to rise. Currently, some insurers are avoiding various businesses of fire and other natural perils because the claims-risk associated with underwriting them is too costly to bear.
In separate interviews with the B&FT, some top-notch practitioners in the insurance industry expressed concern about the high incidence of fire outbreaks in the country, and asked for concerted efforts to stem the tide.
Dr. Gideon Amenyedor, CEO of Vanguard Assurance, explained: "Insurance operates by the principle that the losses of the few will be paid from a pool of funds which is made up of little contributions of many. Therefore, if the unfortunate ones are becoming a lot, it puts pressure on the contributions -- which are the premiums and that have to go up.
"Since the cost of doing business is going up, it becomes worrying because insurers will be forced to increase the premium to enable them to be able to pay claims, and that is a worrying situation.
"It is worrying for both the economy in general in terms of economic waste, and also because insurers directly cough-up money for this waste. And this has an impact on the premium charged because ordinarily, when somebody makes a claim, you look at the timeline that you can recover whatever you paid out."
Mr. Nii Otinkorang Ankrah, CEO of Donewell Insurance said: "Chances are that you have to adjust the premiums payable upfront. You want to recover as soon as possible because if you pay out a claim and it will take another 20 years to balance your books, the chances are that you will adjust the premiums upward to reflect that particular loss; and so the consumer, which is the client, will be called on to pay more."
Mr. Godfried Djanie, Managing Director of Millenium Insurance, also added: "As insurance practitioners, the incidence of fire outbreaks in the country is a very serious situation that we all must be concerned about."
According to the Ghana National Fire Service, it recorded about 265 fire outbreaks in the first two weeks of this year across the country -- which suggests that on the average about 19 fire outbreaks occurred per day, and almost one every hour, within the period.
However, some practitioners, while acknowledging the impact of fire outbreaks on premiums, have played down any imminent increase in the premiums due to the market's inertia.
The Head, Reinsurance Department of SIC Insurance, Kwei Mensah Ashidam, said there is currently a disconnection between the claims and premium charged in insuring businesses against fire.
He said developments in the market are not reflective of the premiums that insurance companies charge.
"Ideally, a high frequency of fire outbreaks should affect fire insurance premium. Premiums should go up or down depending on developments in the market. That is what is supposed to be done.
"But this is a dull market, and it has not been affected by the claims. There is inertia in the market and nobody is talking about it," he said.
Insurance practitioners are however looking to exploit opportunities in the fire insurance market, which they consider more stable than motor.
The fire insurance portfolio is seen as better than motor insurance, where accident claims are higher in comparative terms.
With the coming into force of compulsory fire insurance policies for commercial buildings and other allied perils (flood, earthquake and storms), insurance practitioners have called for education on fire insurance to be enhanced -- thus enabling the public to understand the need for taking out fire insurance and other precautionary measures.
The compulsory fire insurance policy is expected to boost the fire insurance portfolio of industry players.
Kwame Ofori, Executive Director of Enterprise Insurance Company, said: "This policy will push people to insure their properties against fire. However, this will depend on how we are able to enforce it. Practitioners must also educate the insured about the benefits of taking fire insurance".

After almost two years of waiting, Cabin in the Woods, the horror movie written by Joss Whedon and co-written and directed by Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) finally looks ready to see the light of day. After an initial, interminable delay to convert the film to 3-D the genre bender – which promises to be a most unexpected take on the old 'cabin in the woods' motif – was thrown into post-production hell as MGM's legal woes derailed the release. Now, finally, Lionsgate has picked up the rights to Cabin in the Woods, which will be released… eventually.
Well, at least it's in the cards now. We doubt very much this eagerly-awaited movie until after the (already ridiculously crowded) summer. We're guessing probably by Halloween, in time for the Blu-Ray release of Thor, which like Cabin in the Woods stars Chris Hemsworth. The film also reunites Whedon with longtime Buffyverse favorites Tom Lenk (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Amy Acker (Angel and Dollhouse).
What is perhaps most miraculous about Cabin in the Woods isn't the last minute save from limbo, but rather the fact that we still don't know thing one about this thing. No trailer, vague posters and a website which offers, at best, one moody but plotless shot from the production. Information might start pouring in soon, now that the rights have been picked up, but it's equally likely that they'll keep the mystery alive as long as possible. We'll find out soon… at least, we hope we will. Thanks to Deadline for the update.
Crave Online will return with more Cabin in the Woods news unless the bridge is out.

HomeLights and Bridgelux partner to deliver new generation of LED lighting
Press release [Thursday 7 July 2011]
HomeLights, a leading LED lighting company, has entered into a partnership with Bridgelux, a leading developer and manufacturer of LED lighting technologies and solutions, to introduce a new generation of LED products.
Designed and manufactured by U.S.-based Bridgelux, the industry-leading, high flux density LED Array technology was selected by HomeLights to enable their new series of energy efficient, environmentally-friendly spotlight luminaires and bulbs. The new products will deliver high quality uniform lighting, much more closely matched to the traditional halogen and incandescent sources they are designed to displace, while significantly reducing operating costs. In addition to the new products designed for this international retailer, HomeLights and Bridgelux are partnering on new and unique LED lighting solutions that will be sold directly by HomeLights in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxemburg beginning in October of this year.
"Bridgelux designs innovative LED solutions and its brand is both well-known and well-regarded worldwide," said HomeLights CEO Ludovic Rambert. "HomeLights will therefore benefit from its expertise and gain a real edge so that we can offer high quality lighting to the consumer market. This partnership will continue to strengthen the position of HomeLights as the leading supplier of LED lighting in France and around the world. It will produce products that meet current consumer requirements for light quality and energy efficiency, while contributing to the market growth of sustainable technologies and green lighting", added Rambert.
"The lighting market is currently in transition as it develops new products to replace energy inefficient lamps to meet emerging environmental standards. Bridgelux technology integrated into HomeLights lamps and luminaires will meet this growing demand, providing the consumer market with leading-edge LED lighting products", said Tom van den Bussche, EMEA marketing manager at Bridgelux.

Nick Petronka was in a deep sleep when the sound of a vehicle slamming into his Washington home early Tuesday morning woke him abruptly.
"I've never been in an earthquake, but it sounded like an earthquake," Petronka said.
After jumping out of bed and running to his kitchen window to see what caused the noise, Petronka was surprised to find a vehicle stuck in the side of his home at 1206 Bruce St. He said he called 911 and went outside to make sure the driver didn't drive away.
"She was irate," he said. "She wasn't acting right. Fidgety. The police said she was intoxicated."
The crash occurred at 12:54 a.m., according to Washington police. City firefighters also were at the scene.
From the outside, Petronka said the damage didn't look that bad. But once he went into his basement and saw the headlights shining through his wall, he knew the damage would be costly.
"The adjustor was just here," he said later Tuesday morning. "He estimated the damage at $20,000, but that was without examining the structure."
Petronka said the crash damaged the duct work inside the home and snapped some of the plumbing, leaving him without water.
"The restoration company is coming out to fix those things," he said. "I boarded up the outside to prevent the heat from going out the hole."
The driver of the vehicle, Carolyn T. Smith of Maple Terrace, Washington, was taken to Washington Hospital for treatment of a minor head injury and a blood test. At the scene, Smith admitted to officers that she had been drinking, police said.
No charges have been filed, but the investigation is continuing.
Petronka said he still is unsure how the crash happened. He said police have not yet provided him with that information. Regardless, he has his own theories, possibly that Smith mistakenly hit the gas pedal instead of the brake while coming down a hill. "But there's no skid marks (in the yard). She just hit the house," he said.
While Petronka was happy that no one was seriously hurt, the sight of the damage makes him sick.
"I've been living here since 1996. I've worked a lot of years on this house to fix it up," he said. "It's kind of depressing. I feel like I'm starting over."

Kwiki fever!
In the last week or so I've uploaded no less than six Kwiki modules: a mod_perl Kwiki handler, user management when behind HTTP auth, inline graph support, diff support with a vertical diff visualizer, an IRC bot that notifies a channel when a Kwiki page is updated, and the ability to add little arrows after foreign links like AxKit's wiki.
My biggest complaint is that I really can't test modules. I've been meaning to write Test::Kwiki for Kwiki modules to test things like embedded file integrity and formatter modules, but most of Kwiki module testing is up to the community. I really feel like I should include "t/community.t" that asks, "Are you going to use this module? [yes/no]"
It's installed on my site at http://benefitslink.com/wiki [benefitslink.com] (I didn't want my non-tech users to get confused about the difference between kwiki and a wiki, so I'm using wiki as the directory name).
I tried the mod_perl module, but had some trouble. Maybe I should have replaced all the apache config settings used for the regular cgi version, in addition to adding the suggested perl handler settings?
THANKS for these wonderful contributions. It

Foreign crews on fishing boats operating in New Zealand waters will have better protection against unscrupulous employers under new rules that came into force today.
Immigration Minister Nathan Guy says the fishing companies will be more closely monitored and crew members must have individual bank accounts so their wages can be paid directly to them in New Zealand.
Other changes include making the New Zealand partner in a charter the guarantor for crew wages and introducing a "fit and proper person" test before they can become a partner.
Numerous human rights abuses have been reported in recent years by foreigners, mostly Asian, on charter boats fishing in New Zealand waters.
The complaints have included physical abuse and slave wages.
The US State Department criticised New Zealand for allowing it to happen and in May the Government accepted an inquiry recommendation that all foreign-owned vessels must re-flag to New Zealand over a four-year transition period.
Mr Guy says that will mean they will be subject to the full range of New Zealand law, including employment relations and workplace health and safety.

Wnt to doctor for routine filler/botox and was asked about a sore I had on my upper lip . I informed the nurse it was ecsma . She told me that she didnt think that was correct and sent me straight away for biopsy which came back the next day positive to infiltrating ulcerating bcc. With a depth of atleast mid dermis possibly more.
Have seen dermatologist who then referred me to a Mohs surgeon who booked me in for urgent surgery 16th May. The only skin cancer I ever new about was melenoma. I have had this sore for at least 4 years of being sore and bleeding. Who knows how long I had it before then.
I suppose now I am surfing the net trying to find out as much information as possible. It is scary not knowing how much they will need to cut out until the day. Is my bcc a normal easy one or is it going to be a more difficult deep procedure.?? Is the mid dermis deep far down and how far in 5 years could it spread under my skin.?? So many questions??

A Coalition government would ask the Australian Law Reform Commission to examine the regulators' coercive, information-gathering powers and recommend ways to ensure they were applied consistently.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Australian Prudential Regulation Authority and the Australian Taxation Office can require people to produce information, attend interviews, answer all questions and give all reasonable assistance. Failure to comply is a criminal offence.
Amid fears that the powers are being used indiscriminately and without adequate reporting and oversight, shadow attorney-general
The Rule of Law Institute of Australia has examined the reporting of coercive powers across regulators and found the ACCC had the most transparent reporting of such powers, while APRA and ASIC failed to even mention their coercive powers in their public reports.
"Coercive powers must be both conferred and used sparingly, as they undermine key rule of law principles, namely, the right to remain silent and also the presumption of innocence," RLIA chief executive Richard Gilbert said. "They confer powers . . . which even the police do not have in investigating serious crimes such as murder and major fraud."
In 2008, the Administrative Review Council highlighted the inconsistent use of such powers and called on senior officers within regulators to regularly monitor them.
ASIC chairman Tony D'Aloisio told a Senate estimates hearing in June that ASIC did not keep a separate record of the use of coercive powers in its investigations. But he acknowledged that keeping records "might be useful in some respects."
The Australian Building and Construction Commission produces a separate report disclosing the use of coercive powers.
Mr Gilbert said those powers had to be accompanied by tight bureaucratic procedures published on agencies' websites; should not be used for "fishing"; should be invoked only by senior members of each agency sitting outside the division seeking to invoke them; and be accompanied by strict reporting obligations to Parliament.
In a report in February, the Commonwealth Ombudsman said that when the ATO used its "access without notice" powers, "it is necessary that appropriate and robust procedures govern their use".
ASIC's failure to report on the use of coercive powers comes as it assumes responsibilities for market supervision. ASIC executive Greg Yanco told a stockbroker conference in June that the commission would use its coercive powers to search personal records and call individual investors in for questioning when it suspected insider trading or market manipulation.
At a Financial Services Council conference in Melbourne on Friday, Mr Gilbert said ASIC's use of coercive powers against the financial services industry had been raised and MPs
Last year, a federal judge criticised the crime commission over the use of its "extraordinary" and "invasive" coercive powers and criticised Parliament for providing them. "This is not a laughing matter," judge Geoffrey Flick said. The act "confers extraordinary powers which, at first blush, look totally unaccountable".

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Do you have a lot of flies around the litter box? Maggots would only be present if the flies are laying eggs on your cat's fresh stool.
Maggots can infest the skin of cats/dogs also. If there is a wound in the skin, or feces on the fur, the flies will lay eggs there, and the maggots can then start eating through the skin. It is very gross, and can kill an animal if not treated right away. If there is any afterbirth mess still on her fur, this can attract flies.
One thing that some people confuse with maggots are tapeworms. Tapeworms are small, white worms that you can see on fresh feces, and sometimes crawling around the fur around the anus. The tapeworms are smooth, while maggots have a more rough appearance. Tapeworms move slow, while maggots tend to move very fast. Tapeworms can be caught from the cat eating fleas, or also if they eat rodents or rabbits, which carry the tapeworms. The tapeworms will dry up, and then they look like small sesame seeds, and you can find these on the cats fur or on their bedding.
This website has a picture of the tapeworms in stool and the dried segments on the fur. They have a dog in the pictures, but they look the same in cats. http://www.thepetcenter.com/exa/worms.html Scroll down to the last section.
Do you think that it might be tapeworms you are seeing vs. maggots? Please reply to discuss further!
If you are seeing sesame seed type things, then I would have to suspect tapeworms. Fly eggs are small, white, and about the size of this apostrophe: ' . So, if you are seeing larger things you suspect are eggs, and they look like dark sesame seeds, these are probably dried up tapeworms.
However, if your cat and kittens are not clean, you can certainly get a maggot problem if there are flies around!!! THis is very dangerous to the kittens! Are you just finding these in the litter box?
One thing you can do is collect some of these things you suspect to be maggots in a baggie, and some of the eggs, and take them to a vet office. They can tell you if you have a tapeworm problem or a maggot/fly problem. We do this for free, but some vets do charge for an ID of a parasite. If there are tapeworms, your vet can dispense a medication to kill the worms. It will pass into the milk, but should not harm the kittens.
If you have a maggot problem, you need to examine all the kittens and your cat, and make sure they are all very clean. Give momma cat a good bath if needed to remove any afterbirth. Rinse her well so no soap is on her nipples. Change bedding once or twice daily. Keep the litter box scooped immediately. If you notice any maggots in the skin of your cat or kittens, this requires immediate vet attention.
Please reply if you have further questions.

ST. PETERSBURG — As the field of mayoral candidates came into focus in recent months, restaurateur John Warren sized up the group and thought to himself, meh.
The candidates had months of campaigning and fundraising on him, some had been elected to office in St. Petersburg before, some were high-powered corporate types. But with more than 30 years under his belt as a community activist and small business owner in St. Petersburg, Warren felt comfortable he would make the best mayor of the lot.
"I wouldn't have joined the race if I didn't think I was," Warren said.
Warren, a self-made businessman with a background in historic preservation, makes 10 candidates now vying to replace Mayor Rick Baker, who is term-limited.
He is the owner of the popular Savannah's Cafe on Central Avenue and the former president of St. Petersburg Preservation and the St. Petersburg Historical Society. He sums up his resume with a self-appointed title: "community investor."
But for all his bravado, Warren sometimes comes across as somewhat unprepared.
His tenderfoot campaign has yet to establish a slogan, base or so much as a Facebook page. He is quick to point out St. Petersburg's troubles, but can be short on solutions. During his first appearance at a mayoral forum Tuesday, he spent nearly as much time agreeing with his opponent's ideas as he did professing his own views.
"It is obvious that I have a lot to learn," Warren said during his closing statement.
His late entry into the race has afforded him less time to brainstorm, he acknowledged.
Friends, however, describe Warren as a thoughtful, smart leader whose dedication to St. Petersburg has helped shape the city.
Warren played a role in founding the area's growing arts community. He designed the city's largest gallery, Salt Creek Artworks on Fourth Street S, years before city leaders established economic development in south St. Petersburg as a priority.
"He's a trailblazer that way," said artist Herb Snitzer.
As the founding president of St. Petersburg Preservation, Warren wrestled with city leaders over the future of Jannus Landing and the Detroit Hotel, leading the effort to clean up the 200 block of Central Avenue. He also purchased and restored several nearby properties.
"John was very much an idea person, a go-getter in terms of analyzing the problem and finding a way to solve it," said Lynn Homan, a longtime friend and former preservation society member.
As mayor, Warren said community planning would be his top priority.
He said he would sponsor an independent study of the Police Department's crime statistics and management. Police Chief Chuck Harmon's job security would hinge on the findings of that report, Warren said.
To crack down on panhandlers, he said he would allow businesses greater control over the sidewalks in front of their businesses, so they could ban trespassers. He said he wasn't sure how he would specifically implement that effort.
On baseball, he said he would allow a voter referendum on any significant changes to the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field lease with the city. Ideally, the Rays will stay in Tropicana Field, he said.
It's unclear if Warren still has time to win over voters.
Snitzer himself warned Warren he would be "just another white guy" if he entered the race.
Warren remains optimistic.
With more than 60 percent of voters still undecided, the race is just getting started, he said.
Times researcher Caryn Baird contributed to this report. Cristina Silva can be reached at (727) 893-8846 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 1 Sell Rating, 1 Hold
