Frei Betto is a one of the major voices for social justice in Latin America. A Dominican friar from Brazil, he has been a political prisoner and lived as an activist with the poorest of the poor. He is the author of 34 books, some of which have become bestsellers in Brazil and other countries of South America. He has been chosen Intellectual of the Year by the Brazilian Writers Union and won the national literary Jabuti Award. This dialogue with Dada Maheshananda, a yoga monk, was held in the Dominican Seminary in Sao Paulo.
DADA: Your role in the Catholic Church is a bit unusual. You trained as a priest, but decided not to take the vows and have instead remained as a friar, a monk. What is your perspective about your role?
FREI BETTO: I think that my role is to help people awaken to a holisitic spirituality that does not separate the body from the spirit, a kind of political spirituality. I also like to work with cultural groups and to write. What about you? Are you celibate or can you marry?
DADA: Our monks and nuns are also celibate, and they are equal. Our members however have families. I think that our role as monks was described well by the Catholic Trappist monk Thomas Merton: the monk lives in society but is not part of society.
FREI BETTO: I like the works of Thomas Merton a lot, too.
DADA: I believe this is our role, to point the way to a new future that guarantees the welfare and happiness of all. Humanity needs this because materialism and capitalism are very strong today. Advertising has become like a religion that bombards our senses. So we must speak against this materialism that permits, for example, amoral advertisements that encourage young people to smoke. What is spirituality for you?
FREI BETTO: My spirituality is centred on the example of Jesus. I am impassioned by his testimony and example. But I also feel spiritually enriched with other contributions, especially that of Buddhism. I think that the Catholic Church is very poor in respect to meditation for reasons that I am still studying. It has severely persecuted its mystics throughout history. For me, spirituality is the language of the future. I give a lot of time to this, because I don't believe that humanity will find a new path without diving deeply in spirituality. In other words, what people are searching for is very close to them, but they don't know it.
[On another occasion, Frei Betto said: God is not something which is outside us. God lives in the center of our hearts. As Saint Augustine said, "God is more intimate to us than we ourselves." And every experience of love is, on one hand, a manifestation of the presence of God in us and, on the other hand, the possibility of knowing in a real way this presence. For this our experience of love is insatiable. And it is always a discovery, to prove a little that which is infinite, a mystery to be unravelled. Love is always an enigma. As Galileo replied to the princes of Florence, "God is in people's hearts or nowhere!" ]
DADA: The tradition of yoga would agree with this. We accept a definition common in most dictionaries that the Supreme Consciousness is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. If He knows everything, and if He is loving by nature, then He knows what is appropriate for every one of us. To ask for something in prayer then is not only unnecessary, but in some way arrogant. The purpose of meditation is to feel that divine presence, that inspiration in silence, not to pray for something particular.
FREI BETTO: Jesus proposes that we have a relation with God that is very close and familiar. I agree that to ask and receive is a preliminary step of prayer. The deeper dimension is when we take the shelter of silence, as Jesus did when he spent the entire night in profound silence. This is deeper, mystical prayer.
DADA: You were imprisoned by the military dictatorship in 1969 for helping to smuggle ten people out of Brazil who you described as "swimming against the current". You then spent more than three years in various maximum security prisons. On of the books you wrote about that period was translated and published in English [Against Principalities and Powers: Letters from a Brazilian Jail, Orbis Books, Maryknoll, NY, 241 pp., 1977, and published a year later in London by Lutterworth as Letters from a Prisoner of Conscience.] What lessons did you learn from that very hard experience?
FREI BETTO: Prison for me was a very profound retreat, a very deep experience. I don't want anyone to have to experience what I did, but having gone through it and having come out OK, I can see its other side. It turned my head around, it radically changed my vision of things. It was a very deep encounter with my own self, and therefore with God. Because if you come to know yourself better, you find another who is not yourself, that is in fact your true identity. So prison for me was a journey into my own self. DADA: What is your experience with meditation?
FREI BETTO: Meditation is something essential for me. When I meditate, I feel myself vulnerable to the Holy Spirit, more sensitive to the will of God. When I don't meditate, it is as if I have closed the channels, and I fall into rationalisation. I feel spiritually heavy, opaque, not light and transparent. Meditation is the source of life, of revitalisation. I would like to meditate more, but the telephone attacks me. When I am away from here, then it is possible. I feel that this is an enormous shortcoming, because for me, meditation is fundamental.
DADA: Some people believe that spirituality should avoid the questions of social injustice and economic poverty. What is your response to this?
FREI BETTO: I disagree absolutely. Spirituality is not for the satisfaction of my ego. Spirituality gives one the capacity to love others more, especially those who are most needy. Jesus identified himself with the poorest people, so I believe that it is fundamental for spiritualists to see in the poor, in the oppressed, the true presence of God. For my spiritual liberation, for my realisation, it is necessary that I love those around me. Subjectively I cannot judge anyone, but objectively I find no value in a spirituality that does not rise to the liberation of the oppressed. I believe in a spirituality that returns to make the entire world a place of harmony and fraternity. And this means a fight against injustice.
DADA: What is your opinion about liberation theology, which combined a Marxist analysis of class exploitation with a radical Catholic faith? You were one of its pioneers.
FREI BETTO: No, one of its disciples. I think that liberation theology is passing through a crisis of creativity. A certain form of it has penetrated in the life of the Catholic Church. The documents of the bishops about social injustice in Brazil, their criticism of the sale of the national Brazilian mining company Vale do Rio Doce and of neo- liberalism, are the healthy fruits of liberation theology.
[Ex-priest] Leonardo Boff was working with me on some new themes such as holistic, quantum physics. His book Ecology: Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor launches some of these new ideas. But the Vatican is exerting strong pressure to inhibit Catholic publishers from printing works of liberation theology. So Boff has switched to Atica, a private publisher. This difficulty is causing liberation theology to pass from an era of productive creativity to an ebb.
DADA: Do you think that this pressure from the Vatican will change, that it's a flow?
FREI BETTO: Yes, it is really a flow that depends on various factors. For example who will be the next Pope and who will be the next Cardinal of Sao Paulo influence this. Sao Paulo has always been a space of creativity due to the protection and encouragement of Cardinal Arns who has just retired. Rio de Janeiro on the other hand is not, due to the conservative cardinal there. I feel it is very difficult to discuss theology in Latin America separately from liberation theology, because its ideas are very widespread among the Christian base communities at the grassroots level.
DADA: You have written several books about the Cuban society. Your most famous work on this topic is Fidel and Religion: Castro Talks on Revolution and Religion with Frei Betto [Simon and Schuster, 1987, translated and published in more than thirty countries, with more than two million copies sold worldwide]. It was the first and only time that a Communist leader has spoken publically about religion. What is your opinion about his government now?
FREI BETTO: I consider Cuba in advance of the rest of Latin America, for the simple fact that the social indices are much higher there. So my evaluation of a country is not, for example, how often the president changes, but rather the percentage of the population that has the right to life. This is why I admire Cuba, while at the same time that I have a lot of criticism of it, too. I see various defects in the Cuban Revolution, but the social successes are most important.
I live in Brazil with great poverty and suffering in the streets, but I do not see that in Cuba. There are difficulties there, but they are not structural, they are because of the US economic blockade and the end of the Soviet Union that sustained Cuba. The Cubans are heroically maintaining and following their project. I will not talk about socialism, but of the share of essential goods. The basic necessities are essentially guaranteed. Education, food and health care are fundamental. Now how can they resist the blockade, globalisation and neo-liberalism, I don't know how to respond. But strangely, despite all the difficulties, they continue to resist and struggle, and this is a very important factor.
DADA: And Fidel Castro's historic encounter with the Pope last year?
FREI BETTO: I think that it will be a positive event. It will certainly irritate many Cubans in Miami, because it is a form of religious legitimation of the revolution. DADA: What projects are you working on now?
FREI BETTO: As long as I am alive I write. It is fundamental to me, like breathing. My father was a judge and a journalist and my mother has written several cookbooks, so literature seems to run in our family. I have various writing projects, but right now I am completing a historical romance about Jesus. . Recently I returned from Palestine where I visited Galilee, Jerusalem and Bethlehem. I completed research about the environment and day-to-day life there.
DADA: Today the level of injustice in the world is rising. Do you have hope that this will change? FREI BETTO: I see the world in an extremely critical situation. We are passing through very precarious times, but I don't lose hope. And I want to die helping to plant the seed of a different future. You believe in this also, because I feel this in the book Proutist Economics which I read. You have a preoccupation with the social, the political. This is a revelation for me, it is very important.
DADA: You visited the Philippines recently, where I worked for eight years. Did you like it?
FREI BETTO: The Filipino people are very good. Even the children speak English. I envy them because I am poor in English. I once lived for three months in England, but it was not sufficient. I am unable to enroll in a course because I constantly travel and speak to prayer groups throughout Brazil.
DADA: What is your opinion about the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra)?
FREI BETTO: I think that it is a very good path. They have succeeded in mobilising Brazilian society through their large camps of activists pressing for land reform and to occupy large unutilized plantations. I have just written an article about them. Because of them, poverty has not grown higher because fifteen million people are staying in their camps. Were it not the landless movement in this country, those people would be living in the slums of our cities with their children on the streets.
DADA: Proutist Economics offers another solution to the problem of rural exodus and urbanisation. It suggests that agricultural cooperatives be started along with agro- and agrico-industries. These will create jobs in impoverished rural areas to attract people back to the countryside.
FREI BETTO: I think this is very important.

NORWALK, Ohio --
Just ask Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native Patrick Forster.
Sure Forster had a formidable resume already entering the 2012 Summit Racing Equipment Tournament of Champions presented by AMSOIL, but his 2012 performance left little to strike fear in the competition, at least in the world of Hot Rod. Yes Forster was one of only six drivers to qualify for the tournament in two different classes, but he barely managed to sneak into the field in Hot Rod and looked as if the only class in which he stood a real chance at success was in Quick Rod.
As it turns out, both were to his liking.
With no real expectations and a "see what happens" attitude, Forster went 9-1 on race day and reached the final in both classes, winning the Hot Rod World Championship and finishing runner-up in Quick Rod. While Forster wasn't able to complete the historical championship sweep, his performance in the tournament proved that Forster is a dangerous racer and that he has picked up quite a bit of racing prowess from his friend and teammate, 2012 IHRA Sportsman Driver of the Year Jacob Elrod.
"Looking back, the weekend is a bit of a blur. Not just because of the win, but also running two races in one day," Forster said. "To be honestly I really hadn't given much thought to my season coming in. I was having so much fun enjoying my teammate Jacob's historic year and I didn't even qualify the Hot Rod car until the last race. So I really didn't feel like I had anything to prove. I was just out there having a good time."
After squeaking into the TOC via a third place finish in the Division 3 standings Forster found himself up against the very tough Donald Webb of Four Oaks, N.C. in the final and needed a near-perfect light to help him take the breakout victory over his opponent. Forster, behind the wheel of his unique '78 Monza, had a .008 light and ran just .012 off his dial with a 10.912/140.28 while Webb, finishing runner-up for the second year in a row, had a .030 light and finished with a 10.874/125.25 on a 10.90 dial in his familiar '70 Nova.
"When you come to a race like this every driver you face can put you in the trailer. They are all really good," Forster said. "Having both cars in the final actually helped keep me calm and focused. There really wasn't any time to think. It was just buckle up, hit the tree and drive. In the final Don Webb is such a great champion and a really tough competitor, but I knew my car would be right there so as long as I hit the tree I knew I would have a chance."
Prior to the tournament Forster had just one win in Hot Rod in 2012 coming at the very last Division 3 race of the season at London Dragway. But that win was enough to push Forster over the edge and into the field and a win that ultimately meant the difference between sitting at home and hoisting his first career IHRA World Championship.
"I have been driving on and off for about 15 years and teamed up with Dave (Elrod) and that team about eight years ago. We have won division championships, but my previous best nationally had been sixth place," Forster said. "This win, quite honestly, is a bit surreal. I am not sure if it has actually sunk in, but it has been a lot of fun. My phone and email has been blowing up with congratulations from friends that I didn't even know followed my racing reaching out to say hi.
"But the part that's been most satisfying for me is winning it with Dave. This is the first time in over 40 years the guy hasn't been behind the wheel of a racecar and I know it was difficult for him to watch at times. Seeing how happy he was when I pulled up after winning was great. He is such a critical part of this championship as well as Jacob's driver of the year award."
In the semifinal round Forster faced perhaps his toughest round of the day in a double breakout win over Max McGlothin as Forster ran .006 over to McGlothin's .012. In the other semifinal Rick Baehr went .006 red to allow Donald Webb to advance to the final.
"IHRA has really put something special together with the TOC. It's just so much fun and really exciting to be a part of something that draws racers from all over the country and knowing that every one you run against is really good and has had a great year," Forster said. "While we didn't have a traditional championship season, the cars were fantastic all weekend and really all year. We use the best parts and products so the cars area always consistent and reliable."
But of course Forster's day wasn't over just yet. Moments after taking the win light in Hot Rod Forster had to zoom around the facility back to the staging lanes where his Quick Rod car awaited a shot at a second championship. Unfortunately for Forster, a bit too much adrenaline after winning one championship was coursing through his veins and the champion went .012 red allowing young 17-year-old Corey Manuel to take the Quick Rod title.
"Maybe I should have celebrated for a few minutes first because I was clearly a little more pumped up than I realized and went way red," Forster joked. "But as a whole we couldn't have asked for a better weekend and a big part of that is my sponsors. First a huge thank you to Sunoco Race Fuels. Also I wanted to thank Bazell Race Fuels, Moser Engineering, Abruzzi Transmissions, Tom Fisher for the killer Hot Rod motor, PAR Racing Engines, Hoosier Tires, Quick Fuel Carburetors, Mobile 1 Racing Synthetic Oil, East Coast Auto Electric, TCI, Milodon, Moroso, Weld Racing Wheels, American Race Cars, DJ Safety and Sterling Chassis.
"And of course a very special thank you to my wife DeeAnn and our four kids Kaley, Joey, Will and P.J. for all their love and support. They have all made big sacrifices for me to do this and I am so grateful to have such a wonderful family."

Engineered wood flooring is wood flooring is a flooring option which looks like solid wood but is made up of a structure of plywood, topped by a solid oak lamella or top layer. It is thanks to this solid oak top layer that engineered wood flooring looks so good. Never to be confused with laminate flooring, engineered wood flooring is a highly versatile and appealing option for almost every room in the home. Available in a whole host of colours, grades and finishes, engineered wood flooring can be fitted using floating, glued or nailed-down methods.
190mm wide or just less than 7 and ½ inch engineered wood flooring comes in either single or multiple strip planks and is a really luxurious flooring option. Following the recent trends towards wider planks, 190mm wide or just less than 7 and ½ inch engineered wood flooring, will bring a confident and stylish look to any flooring project.
No matter whether you are renovating an old home, in which you've inherited narrower, solid wood boards or you're starting from scratch, 190mm wide or just less than 7 and ½ inch engineered wood flooring, can work really well. There is absolutely nothing to say that you can't effectively mix and match narrow and wider boards and indeed solid and engineered wood flooring effectively. Even in the same room, a mixture of widths of flooring, if well planned, can look really stunning.

Divergent results spark apprehension about who gets the new normal, and who is going to be proven seriously wrong.
A few days ago, I sat down with Rob Jesmer, the executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Jesmer is usually tight-fisted about his polling; he doesn't share it with members of the media when the numbers are good for his candidates, which avoids the inevitably uncomfortable dilemma when the numbers are bad for his candidates. But he wanted to open his books, if only for a peek, to demonstrate a phenomenon happening across the political spectrum these days: His polls look nothing like polls Democrats are conducting.
It's a constant refrain from both sides these days. The two parties, the outside groups that are playing such a big role this year, and even some candidates themselves are so dubious about their own numbers that they are employing two pollsters for one race, using one to double-check the other. What flummoxes them even more is that their own party's pollsters are getting similar results, while the other side is offering a completely different take.
Whether it is the presidential contest or battles for critical Senate and House seats, the smartest pollsters in the business have spent the past three weeks looking at exactly the same data and coming to dramatically different conclusions.
That can be explained, in part at least, by the volatile history of the last three election cycles. The nearly decade-long erosion of trust in government, the economic recession, the collapse of the housing bubble and the partisan brawls in Washington are all factors that contributed to three straight wave election cycles. Elections in 2006 and 2008 overwhelmingly favored Democrats. The 2010 midterms overwhelmingly favored Republicans.
This year, there's no wave cresting the week before Election Day, meaning Tuesday's results will reflect the will of a deeply and bitterly divided nation, roughly the same thing we saw in 2004. We're about to see the new political normal -- but after six years of dramatic waves, no one really knows what normal is supposed to look like.
Democrats argue that history shows an inexorable march toward a larger and more diverse electorate. In every election since 1992, the electorate has grown. Bill Clinton won when 83 million people cast a ballot in 1992; 100 million were cast in 2000; and 129 million ballots were cast in 2008.
And while voters tell pollsters they hate politics and politicians, their actions don't tell the same story. One prominent Democratic pollster suggested a counterintuitive cause: The explosion of cable news channels means politics is available all the time; the constant, unceasing news cycle keeps people engaged; the increased polarization of the electorate means voters identify more closely with their party, their team; and the proliferation of absentee ballots and early voting access makes it easier than ever to vote. That which voters say they hate most may actually be what's keeping them engaged.
In every cycle since 1992, the number of African American and Hispanic voters has gone up as a share of the electorate. In 1992, exit polls showed 83 percent of the electorate was white. By 2008, white voters made up just 74 percent of the electorate.
There's no question that President Obama's 2008 campaign, which focused on turning out new low-propensity voters in minority communities, helped inflate non-white voters' influence in the electorate. In Virginia alone, the non-white share of the electorate spiked from 21 percent in 2006 to 30 percent just two years later, a virtually unprecedented leap. The question is how many of those voters come back to the polls in 2012.
Republicans and Democrats alike believe the African American vote is unlikely to change between 2008 and 2012. But they differ dramatically on the number of Hispanic voters who will show up at the polls -- a key factor in critical battleground states like Colorado and Nevada. Republicans believe turnout will be down, depressed by Obama's failure to pursue immigration reform during his first term. Democrats think the booming number of Hispanic residents means their share of the electorate will only increase.
The same argument happens over younger voters. In 2008, 18 percent of the electorate was made up of voters between 18 and 29 years old. That's higher than the percentage has been in recent presidential years, when the youth vote has made up around 15 or 16 percent. Republicans believe the younger share of the electorate will slide slightly, and that Obama will win fewer of those voters anyway.
The manifestation of these disagreements is evident in polling weights. Most Republican pollsters are using something close to a 2008 turnout model, with the same percentage of white, black and Hispanic voters as the electorate that first elected Obama. Most Democratic pollsters are a little more bullish on minority turnout, which helps explain some of the difference between the two sides.
Add in a population that's changing its habits and pollsters have to contend with additional confusing factors. The number of Americans without land line phones is growing, particularly among younger voters. Those voters are much more difficult to convince to complete a poll, surveyors say.
What concerns Republicans most is the fact that media polls seem to track more closely with Democratic internals than with the GOP's numbers. Internal surveys conducted for candidates like George Allen inVirginia, Richard Mourdock in Indiana and Josh Mandel in Ohio draw much rosier conclusions than polls conducted for their Democratic counterparts Tim Kaine, Joe Donnelly and Sherrod Brown. And media surveys, at least in Virginia and Ohio, show Kaine and Brown winning (restrictive Indiana laws make polling prohibitively expensive there).
Republicans say their party is a victim of media bias -- but not in the standard Lamestream Media sort of way. Pollsters on both sides try to persuade public surveyors that their voter turnout models are more accurate reflections of what's going to happen on Election Day. This year, GOP pollsters and strategists believe those nonpartisan pollsters are adopting Democratic turnout models en masse.
Regardless of the cause, strategists on both sides acknowledge the difference in their internal polling. Republicans believe Democrats are counting far too much on low-propensity voters and a booming minority turnout that isn't going to materialize on Election Day. Democrats believe Republicans are hopelessly reliant on an electorate that looks far more like their party than the nation as a whole. The day after Election Day, somebody's pollsters are going to be proven seriously wrong.
Deep down, both parties secretly worry it's their side that is missing the boat.

Some Easing of the Cold but still Chilly
As anticipated an Arctic chill has descended on the USA. Record cold was reported last week and over the weekend in many areas of the west, Rockies and northern plains. Some locations set all time record lows and others tied or nearly tied all time record lows.
Eugene, OR -10F (second coldest temperature recorded in 123 years of record keeping)
Burns, OR -30F
Chester, MT -46F
Marias Pass, MT -44F
Simpson, MT -41F
Boise, ID -6F
Laramie, WY -31F
Grand Forks, ND -24F
Denver, CO -15F
Chadron, NE -23F
Rapid City, SD -13F
This recent cold snap was the earliest and most severe of cold waves for quite sometime. Many folks have mentioned the December cold outbreaks of 1972 and 1982 as being similar to this past week. Indeed, many of the records tied or broken go back to 1972 or 1982.
In addition to the Arctic outbreak of cold, snowfall was common in many areas, along with ice. As of Sunday, 59% of the USA had snow cover as compared to only 18% of the USA covered in snow for the same time last year.
While there will be some relief from the cold in the Pacific Northwest and Rockies over the next week, there will still be plenty of cold across the Upper Midwest, Plains, Great Lakes and Northeast. Temperatures will only warm to normal values in the western areas hit by the severe cold last week.
Weather patterns suggest that while we may not see as much severe cold during the remainder of December we may have more cold shots coming our way for most of the nation. Expect another possible cold shot with snow for many areas between December 20th and the New Year.
Hay supplies will be severely dented over the coming weeks.

He did not utter the words, but President Barack Obama's second inaugural address was suffused with the spirit of a favorite phrase: Martin Luther King Jr.'s call to heed "the fierce urgency of now."
This was a president unbound from much of what defined him upon taking office four years ago, a man clearly cognizant of time already running down on his opportunity to make his imprint on the country and on history.
Gone were the vision of a new kind of high-minded politics, the constraint of a future re-election campaign and the weight of unrealistic expectations. In their place was an unapologetic argument that modern liberalism was perfectly consistent with the spirit of the founders and a notice that, with no immediate crisis facing the nation, Obama intended to use the full powers of his office for progressive values.
"We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect," he said.
After spending much of his first term "evolving" on the question of gay marriage and doing too little in the eyes of many African-Americans to address poverty and civil rights, he invoked "Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall" and cited responsibility for the poor, sick and displaced.
He acknowledged the budget deficit but emphasized protecting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. He mentioned jobs but highlighted global warming. He lauded the bravery and strength of the U.S. armed forces, but started his foreign policy remarks by asserting that "enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war."
Obama came to office four years ago all but consumed by what he inherited: two wars and an economy in free fall. He then confronted an exhausting series of crises and political problems at home and abroad: budget showdowns, a huge oil spill, Middle East turmoil, the rise of the Tea Party movement.
Through it all, he chose to wage additional battles of choice, most notably his successful push to overhaul the health insurance system. But not until this point -- with the economy gradually mending, one war over and another winding down, with Osama bin Laden dead and the Democratic Party drawing strength from the nation's changing demographics -- has he had the opportunity to master his own presidency.
The policy details of what that effort entails will emerge over the next month through his State of the Union address and his budget, and many or most of them will encounter strong opposition from Republicans on Capitol Hill. Monday's address to the nation and its political class was intended to set out the value system that informs the policy.
Obama has always had a dialectical quality to him: pragmatism versus ideology, bold versus cautious, hawk versus dove, post-racial versus man of color. Those tensions no doubt remain.
But since Election Day, he has seemed to be choosing between them more than in the past. His decision after the Newtown massacre to embark on a full-scale effort to crack down on gun violence showed him to be less shackled to political wisdom about what is possible or electorally wise; his willingness to stare down Republicans over raising the debt limit -- and winning -- showed that he is less likely nowadays to start a negotiation by moving to the center and trying to find common ground.
To some Republicans, it is what they warned of all along: a president who ran as a centrist proving to be an unreconstructed liberal. It was no doubt hard for some of them to accept a scolding for treating "name calling as reasoned debate" -- a phrase in his Monday address -- from a man who won re-election by excoriating Mitt Romney as a job-killing plutocrat.
"I think all Americans would hope that President Obama, now that he's not facing re-election, would actually sit down and honestly work with Republicans who are very sincere in our desire to fix these problems," said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.
But, Johnson added, that was not the sentiment he detected from Obama on Monday. "You've got to sit down in good faith," he said. "But I just don't see that with this president."
Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, said, "I'm surprised we've so abruptly noticed after this election we're now managing America's demise, not America's great future."
Obama's address nodded to ideological inclusiveness but without repeating his view from four years ago that it was time to end the "recriminations and worn-out dogmas" that characterized Washington battles. It recognized the power of individual liberty but argued that only through collective action could the nation remain prosperous and secure.
But most of all, it sought to elevate to a more prominent place in the political debate the question of how best the nation should address the "little girl born into the bleakest poverty," the parents of a child with a disability, the gay men and women seeking to marry, voters facing hurdles because of their race and immigrants seeking a toehold in a land of opportunity.
"We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few," Obama said.
In many ways it was an inaugural address, given on a day that commemorates King, that reflected not just the civil rights leader's "fierce urgency of now" but the lines that immediately followed it in his "I have a dream" speech on the National Mall 50 years ago.
"This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism," King said. "Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy."

The cassettes are constructed from two sheets of low-binding, regenerated-cellulose dialysis membrane that are hermetically sealed on either side of a silicone-like gasket inside an inert plastic frame. The membrane and cassette materials are compatible with most common laboratory chemicals and buffers. Liquid samples are easily added and removed by penetrating the self-sealing gasket with a hypodermic needle attached to a syringe. No knots, clips or caps are needed to seal the units and prevent leaking and sample-loss during the dialysis procedure.
Easy to use – no knots or clamps are needed; just inject sample into cassette and begin dialysis
Fast dialysis – flat cassette chamber with two membranes provides high surface-area to volume ratio that maximizes diffusion rate compared to cylindrical dialysis tubing
High recovery – rectangular cassette design maximizes recovery of entire sample volume via any one of the four corner injection ports
Four cassette sizes – select the cassette that best suits your sample volume
Color-coded – orange cassette frame specifies cassettes with the 10,000 MW pore size membrane
10K Dialysis Membrane Specifications:
- Composition: Regenerated cellulose synthesized by the Viscose method; 21% glycerol, 0.05% sulfur, Trace heavy metals content
- Thickness: 0.9 to 1.2mil (22.5 to 30μm)

Knockout Noodles: Hiyashi-Chuka at Slurping Turtle
Reviews of noodle dishes.
So I'm sitting down to lunch recently at one of my favorite noodle haunts, Slurping Turtle, and what do I see on the menu? Chef Takashi Yagihashi's tori ramen. OK, if that statement didn't quite rock your world, here's some background: This past winter, the tori ramen at Slurping Turtle took gold in Serious Eats: Chicago's massive round-up of the best ramen in the city. Despite our praises, the tori ramen has been an elusive find at the River North noodle house throughout the ensuing months. It goes off the menu, it comes back, then it goes away again, then it's only available at lunch, and so on. According to my server, its current engagement is slated to end in a few short weeks. It's maddening.
Besides the newsworthy import of this information (go get your tori ramen while you can), I bring all this up to illustrate the paralyzing dilemma I faced at lunch: seeing that—sweet!—the tori ramen is back, but—oooo!—the current noodle offerings also include something brand-new: hiyashi-chuka ($14), a dish of chilled wheat noodles topped with all sorts of vegetal goodies. I was intrigued. I had last flirted with hiyashi at the start of summer while researching a story on Chicago's cold-noodle dishes. With the words of Barney Stinson playing in my head, I did the incredible and ordered up the hiyashi-chuka...and was handsomely rewarded.
This and the hiyashi ramen I was served at Ai Sushi back in June are quite different dishes. For one thing, Slurping Turtle's hiyashi-chuka has no dipping sauce accompaniment. I came to think of it as a light summertime pasta salad, by way of Japan. The dish is anchored by a bed of chilled, wavy ramen noodles—slippery, springy, and full of bite. Atop the noodles, a rainbow of ingredients, including delicate strips of tofu, ocean-tinged seaweed, baked kabocha squash, slices of heirloom tomato, pickled ginger, juicy asparagus, shredded lettuce, sweet corn, nori threads, enoki mushrooms, a sprinkling of sesame seeds, and a dollop of spicy mustard on the outskirts of the plate.
The squash was delightful—baked super-soft and with the caramelized brown-sugar flavors typical of sweet potatoes—as were the fresh heirloom tomatoes. Stirred together, the plate's contents, all of which are vegan, offer lots of surprises when tasted in tandem. There are sudden bold hits of flavor, say, from a morsel of fragrant pickled ginger, which are strung together between lighter, more delicate bites of sweet corn and forgiving squash. With the broth subtracted, it's also very easy to really zero in on the textural pleasantries of the ramen noodles. And restrained seasoning meant the plate happily welcomed a splash of soy and a dash or two of togarashi.
Surely, this traditional fair-weather fare will go on hiatus soon enough, as well, once summer passes into fall. So now the dilemma is yours to solve.

ESA astronaut training in Europe for October mission to the ISS: Mission name and logo unveiled
ESA PR 37-2002. ESA astronaut Frank De Winne, from Belgium, will soon finish training at ESA's space research and technology centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands on some of the scientific facilities he will have to work on during his flight to the International Space Station next October. On Thursday 6 June, media representatives are invited to learn more about some of the training phases and to carry out interviews.
On the same occasion, in the presence of Mr Charles Picqué, Belgian Minister for Scientific Research, Mr Yvan Ylieff, Belgian Commissioner in charge of Scientific Policy and Mr Ernst Messerschmid, Head of ESA's European Astronaut Centre, the mission's name and logo will be unveiled (see attached programme).
Frank De Winne will be flight engineer on a Soyuz "taxi flight" to the International Space Station, an 8 to 10-day mission scheduled for late October, and funded by the Belgian Federal Office for Scientific, Technical and Cultural Affairs (OSTC). The main purposes of the mission will be to replace the Russian Soyuz vehicle, which serves as the emergency rescue craft for the Station's crew, with a modernised version (Soyuz TM-A), to carry out substantial scientific experiment programme and promote valuable international cooperation.
The next Space Shuttle to lift off to the International Space Station (target launch date: 30 May) will be carrying an important piece of European hardware: the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG). The ESA Glovebox will be used in October by Frank De Winne and will enable astronauts to handle a variety of materials and perform experiments on combustion, fluids and biotechnology safely in a microgravity environment. It can also be used to carry out minor repairs and service hardware where necessary.
The MSG facility was built for NASA for a projected operational life of 10 years and will be initially fitted in the United States Laboratory (Destiny). Development of the MSG was contracted to Astrium (D). Bradford Engineering (NL) built the main elements of the facility, supported by Verhaert Design & Development (B), Atos-Origin (NL) and Laben (I).

Streaky upper mantle shows its stretch marksUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology
HONOLULU — Scientists from Oregon, Hawaii, and France have found ancient material distributed in 40 km thick streaks in the mantle beneath the Indian Ocean. The study, published in the March 9, 2006 issue of the journal Nature, used isotopes of the elements halfnium (Hf) and Neodymium (Nd) in sea floor volcanic rocks collected from over 3000 km along the mid-ocean ridge to determine the size and number of streaks in the Indian Ocean upper mantle.
"The presence of streaks with the size distribution observed in this study has important implications for investigators trying to model the convective process that stir the Earth's upper mantle," says lead author David Graham of Oregon State University. "It is only one part of the puzzle of trying to understand the chemical evolution of the Indian Ocean mantle, and it was a surprising result that was only evident by the collection of closely located samples along the mid-ocean ridge."
The mantle is the rocky outer portion of the Earth extending from the base of the crust down to the top of its core some 2700 km below. It behaves like a fluid on geological time scales, slowly stirring Earth's interior as rock slabs of Earth's surface sink downward at subduction zones, such as beneath the Cascadia margin of Oregon. Rising plumes beneath hotspots (for instance, the island of Hawaii) add to the motion, which helps to stir the remnants of subducting plates into the mantle, where they are stretched and thinned by the motions; some of this material is then brought back to near the mantle's upper surface.
"Mid-ocean ridge volcanism draws magmas from the upper mantle, and such lavas carry information about the mantle below," says co-author Ken Rubin of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. "The heavy, naturally occurring isotopes used in this study trace different compositional zones in the mantle in high resolution in part because the isotopic compositions are not changed during mantle melting to form ocean ridge magmas."
Other studies have also suggested such streaks exist beneath rare, isolated localities on the continents, but the new research suggests that such streaks may be widespread in the upper mantle. "New data sets comparable to this one in terms of their spatial resolution and analytical precision have recently been obtained or are currently the focus of ongoing studies at several other ridge spreading centers in the Indian and Atlantic oceans," adds Graham. "We also are obviously still interested in further evaluating the streak idea from more detailed analytical work and sampling along the Southeast Indian Ridge itself, because the size of the bands we think we have detected is very close to our sampling resolution."
The study was funded by the National Science Foundation (United States) and INSU (France), and involved analyses of volcanic rock samples collected from more than 2 miles below the sea surface. The team of researchers included David Graham and Christopher Russo from Oregon State University, Kenneth Rubin from the University of Hawaii, and Janne Blichert-Toft and Francis Albarede from the Ecole Normale Superiere in Lyon, France.

hirb 0.2.5
Hirb currently provides a mini view framework for console applications, designed to improve irb's default output. Hirb improves console output by providing a smart pager and auto-formatting output. The smart pager detects when an output exceeds a screenful and thus only pages output as needed. Auto-formatting adds a view to an output's class. This is helpful in separating views from content (MVC anyone?). The framework encourages reusing views by letting you package them in classes and associate them with any number of output classes.

My Ramblings to Tweak the Home Run Derby
Everyone might remember I had some reservations on the new "Captains" format for the State Farm Home Run Derby in 2011. After thinking about it for almost a whole season, it might have some legitimate merit, but maybe it can be tweaked a bit, just like the All Star Game starter and player selection process. Hopefully today I can outline my ideas, and maybe some day M L B will take credit for it ( just kidding).
The Captain format did take the selection process out of Major League Baseball fingers, but ( to me) it seem to evolve into a collection of "buddies" or power-stroking brethren taking turns hitting a baseball more than a competition that let fans from all over, including other countries outside the United States see our budding MLB stars.
So why not make the American League and National League Home Run leaders at the All-Star Break the Captains in the future? That would give more of a guarantee to the assembled baseball fans the best long ball hitters from both leagues will not only showcase their unique craft at the All Star classic, but also give the media and announcers a chance to further show the participants in depth, possibly making them household names in other vistas. In 2011, that would have made Toronto Blue Jay Jose Bautista and St. Louis Cardinal Lance Bergman the first 2 players selected for the Home Run Derby. Combined the pair have crushed 55 balls into the stands heading into the 2011 All-Star Break.
From there I would love to implement a " State Farm Home Run Derby Participant" premise and re-institute it with 8 names from each league which would be announced a weeks in advance of the Monday event and conclude on that Saturday evening to decide which 3 candidates would of stood with Bautista or Bergman in 2011 as members of both the American and National League squads. I know I'm using 2011 as an example, but sometimes we can learn things from our past, or fail again and again by refusing to acknowledge it's flaws.
Sure there could still be the horror of the large market teams stuffing the ballot box, but I have a solution to keep multiple players from each squad off the final selection team. To keep the Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, Cardinals and possibly the Dodgers from stuffing the ballot boxes, there would be no multiple players selected from the same franchise.
That ruling would have split up the 2011 pairings of Adrian Gonzalez and Ortiz, plus would have made either Rickie Weeks or Prince Fielder the Brewer selected for the Home Run Derby. This rule would have also eliminated Matt Holiday in 2011 since Bergman would have been the Cardinals representative.
Such a regulation would keep an unbalanced Home Run Derby squad that should of included players like Cincinnati Red Jay Bruce, Chicago White Sox Adam Dunn, Oakland Athletics Josh Reddick or even Oriole's Adam Jones could of had a chance to be voted into the event.
If this system had been in place for the 2012 event, Texas Ranger Josh Hamilton and Milwaukee Brewer Ryan Braun would have been the "Captains" of the event since each lead their respective leagues in Home Runs at the break. Heck, based on Home Run totals, the New York Yankees could of been represented by Curtis Granderson than Robinson Cano.
Sure there are thing to be worked out, and holes to fill by players not wanting to participate, but M L B could get those "Yeahs" or "Nays" at the conclusion of the All-Star voting and hype up the Home Run Derby selection process with an entire week of plugging certain players, or maybe even trying to get a up-and coming player most of the country has not seen hit the ball like the A's Reddick, Brewers Corey Hart or even Philadelphia Phillies Hunter Pence a chance on the big stage.
M L B made an honest effort in 2011 of trying to correct some past Home Run Derby wrongs, and they made great strides in the right direction. Now by also involving the fans in the process, we can get a more suitable and diverse selection that will have people again excited about the event. With a few slices and dices in the right spots, the State Farm Home Run Derby can come back in 2013 in the confines of Citi Field (July 16th) in Flushing, New York for the 2013 All Star Game more lean, mean and possibly pounding ball after ball out of the long confines of that massive ballpark.
That would be a pure joy to watch.

It's hard not to constantly look to the future, our industry changes so rapidly and so dramatically that the next big thing could pass you by in the blink of an eye, without you even knowing about it. The SEO industry has come a long way over the last decade or so, and we're almost free of the "spam-hobbit" reputation. I say almost because, let's face it, the majority of people outside of the industry either have no idea what SEO is, or think that we spend our days writing spam comments and "clicking on results in Google until it goes to the top of the results" – if only it was that easy, seriously. On the flip-side of the coin, modern business owners are beginning to appreciate the amount of work and skill that goes into creating a successful SEO campaign. Some even understand just how vital it is to have the right SEO team behind them if they are ever going to compete in the world of online business.
The problem, however, is that whilst the majority of us SEOs are working hard to build a respectable industry and improve the way we are perceived, there are still many people and organisations out there that are doing little to brush off the tired old clichés. Greedy, money-hungry "SEO experts" that are willing to take honest people's money in return for half-assed services, spread so thinly over such long periods of time that their work is written off before they even start. But what does it matter? They're getting paid and the customer can always find another "forward thinking SEO agency" or "cheap freelancer" to get the job done, can't they?
Well, yes. They can, and that's what they do. All too often businesses go from one bad SEO provider to the next until they finally decide that "this SEO nonsense doesn't even work". Not only will they give up on SEO themselves, they'll also tell their friends, who own other companies, that SEO is a waste of money. And guess what, eventually it's going to bite us all in the backside. Ironically, a whole industry can't survive on high rankings alone. Reputation, transparency, dependability and cold hard results are needed to keep things moving, to attract new business and to keep the industry fresh and alive. I know there are charlatans in every industry but I'm worried that there are too many people in the SEO industry that are cocking things up for the rest of us.
"But I do things by the book!" I hear you say….
Don't feel you are helping your client simply because you don't charge them very much money. If a client has £1000 to spend on SEO, don't take it unless you know that you can provide them with the results that they want and need for their money. Be honest with yourself and with the client. And when needed, just say NO. Say it loud and say it proud. A common scenario is when a company decides they need to start investing in SEO services but have little knowledge of how it works and zero experience.
The all too common scenario
Let's assume Mr Mattress wants help with his site that sells mattresses. He comes to you and says "I know it's a competitive keyword, but I am only willing to pay £500 a month. If you can prove this SEO stuff works, then, and only then, I will up the budget and we can really get things moving."
First of all, we need to look at the business model – what is the ROI? What is the search volume for 'mattresses'? If he got to position one (which he isn't going to on his tiny budget) would it be financially worth the investment to get him to there?
If you know it's going to take a budget of £5000 to get him near the top of the SERPs then you need to say so. It's simply pointless taking him on as a client if he isn't willing to invest the money needed. If you agreed to his idea of starting with £500 a month, guess what could happen? You could fail to provide results and he'd give up on the idea of investing more money. If anything it's better to use the maximum budget in the beginning of the campaign to get things moving and then drop it down a peg to maintain it once you've achieved the desired results.
"No, I can't get 20 keywords to position 1 for £500 a month. No, it's not possible to optimise two sites for the price of one, because it won't generate results and it will be a waste of your money!"
People need to stop being greedy and, instead, think of the bigger picture. Saying yes to tiny budgets, when you know that you can't meet the objectives is bad for everyone, not just the client. For the love of SEO, just say NO! The future of our industry depends on it.

Here are the comments, the first from me, to the post "To C Or Not To C, That Is The Question" by Russ Fox at his blog TAXABLE TALK.
Thanks for mentioning my new THE SCHEDULE C LETTER, and for the recommendation.
I do agree that all sole proprietorships should register with the state as a one-person LLC for the limited liability protection – but I definitely do not believe that they should all, if possible, file as a corporation.
From my newsletter's sample issue -
'An LLC can elect to be taxed as a corporation - but if you want to be taxed as a corporation you should, in my opinion, actually incorporate the business activity.
There exist situations where it may be "more better" to operate your business as a corporation. The decision to incorporate takes very serious study and consideration. I suggest you consult with a tax professional – and not a lawyer – before making such an important decision. It is very important that you review the tax consequences of dissolving the corporation as well. Like a marriage – a corporation me be relatively inexpensive to get into, but very expensive to get out of!'
And –
'Do not overreact and incorporate your sole proprietorship, or elect to tax your one-person LLC as a corporation, solely for the reason of avoiding an audit.
The advice that one should incorporate solely to avoid an audit seems to me to be saying, 'If you want to cheat on your taxes you can incorporate and the IRS will not audit you'. It is not good tax or financial advice. Be wary of so-called professionals who give this advice – they may be more interested in boosting their fees than in providing you with good advice.
I have said time and again that an IRS audit is not something that should be avoided at all costs. Tax returns should be prepared, and decisions about choosing a business entity should be made, in such a manner as to generate the absolute least amount of federal, state and local taxes (income and payroll) within the parameters of federal and state laws. If you will pay less tax (income and payroll), fees and other costs by filing a Schedule C you should do so, honestly and ethically, and not worry about being audited.
If your return is prepared correctly, and you document all items of income and deduction properly upfront, then an audit is nothing more than an inconvenience.'
I might also add that filing as a corporation has the potential for a lot of unnecessary agita for a small business sole proprietor.
Thanks again for the plug and for your confidence in my competence as a tax advisor."
Russ replied –
"I don't have much to add to what you wrote. I strongly believe that entity formation has three components: tax, legal, and the goals of the owner(s). What is correct for one person may not be correct for a second person. Anyone starting a new business needs to consult both a tax professional and an attorney."
To which I responded –
I do agree – but consult the tax professional first, and discuss what the lawyer had to say with the tax professional before taking any action."
Russ does make a good point – "What is correct for one person may not be correct for a second person". To say that all sole proprietors should either incorporate or, if an LLC, elect to file as a corporation PERIOD is, as I said above, very bad advice.
Does incorporating, or filing as a corporation, reduce the likelihood of an IRS audit? Yes. But this is only one aspect of the decision, and a very minor one at that. Are all Schedule Cs audited, or will they be? Of course not!
Operating or filing as a corporation has the potential for much more unnecessary agita and increased costs (taxes and, especially, professional fees) and paperwork than any audit!
So what do my fellow tax professionals and tax bloggers think?

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Yawn, baby: Helping babies and limbs come alive
A. Hold the call– you just yawned. And you're not the only one, says psychologist Ronald Baenninger: Fetuses yawn, as do newborns usually within five minutes of birth. Athletes yawn before tense contests, along with college students in libraries, with neither matching calculus students who by one count rack up 25 per hour. Bizarrely, some people paralyzed on one side of the body are able to stretch otherwise immobile limbs during a yawn. Also, while certain antidepressants may inhibit connubial desire, a few takers will find they now experience release when yawning (even forced yawns may be a trigger).
Q. If conflict is genetically programmed into our DNA, what hope do we humans have of ever taming the urge to war? –G.W. Bush
A. The premise sounds pretty fatalistic but it overlooks that peacemaking, too, is programmed into our DNA, says John Horgan in Scientific American magazine.
Emory University anthropologist Frans B.M. deWaal studies primates and notes that while lethal conflict occurs among chimpanzees– our closest genetic relatives– they reconcile after fighting by hugging, mouth and hand kissing, mutual grooming, food sharing. Among humans, reconciliation also takes place when conflicting parties stand to lose more if their relationship deteriorates.
As international economic interdependence has grown over the last century, lethal hostilities have shrunk. For example, although the European Union has not created love between Germany and France and other former adversaries, it has greatly reduced the likelihood of war.
In fact, stresses Harvard's Steven Pinker, levels of international violence are much lower in our era than before the advent of modern states some 10,000 years ago. Ethnographic evidence suggests 30 percent or more of members of tribal societies died from group violence, 10 times greater than the proportion of Europeans and North Americans killed by war-related causes even "during the cataclysmic 20th century."
Stable governments have played a part, as have mass media and travel in boosting international understanding and empathy toward those beyond our immediate family and nation.
"This may be the best news of all: civilization," Pinker says, "which has often been blamed for war, is actually helping us achieve peace."
Q. What's one of the newer, more enlightened ways of dealing with shoplifters? a) more police on the premises b) drug treatment c) patrol canines passing as "seeing- eye" dogs d) rearrangement of merchandise e) mirrors stationed to make offenders feel "on display"? –P. Bosworth
A. The surprising answer is b), treating compulsive shoplifters with an anti-addiction drug called "naltrexone," says Constance Holden in Science magazine.
People pinching a tube of lipstick or a necktie may experience a rush "similar to a cocaine or heroin high," says University of Minnesota psychiatrist Jon Grant. Naltrexone blocks the same brain receptors used by opioids though its effect on kleptomania needs more research. Still, in one eight-week study of 25 previously arrested kleptomaniacs, two-thirds had complete remission of their symptoms, suggesting an overlap between compulsive stealing and addictions in the broadest sense.

A recent study illustrated that supplementation of beta-alanine and creatine increased maximal power output. It concluded that increased output might be a result of improved hydrogen ion buffering by elevated carnosine concentrations. The use of beta-alanine to increase muscle carnosine offers a way to increase anaerobic exercise potential and is likely to add to the effects of creatine in some exercise settings. First discovered in the early 1900's, beta-alanine and histidine are the two components of carnosine. Histidine is already present in large quantity within skeletal muscles, so beta-alanine acts as the rate- limiting factor in carnosine conversion. Carnosine is very effective at buffering the hydrogen ions responsible for producing lactic acid burn. Studies have shown that increasing muscle carnosine by supplementing beta- alanine may delay fatigue and improve the muscular aspects of athletic performance. Research also indicates that beta-alanine increases lactate threshold, improves the ability to maintain maximal power output during high- intensity exercise, and decreases neuromuscular fatigue. By elevating carnosine level, nerves fire at a faster rate. For example, instead of one's body operating at 80% the day after exercise, carnosine may help it perform closer to the highest possible levels.
Beta-alanini is mainly useful for athletes who are constantly using the same muscles, without the ability to take a break and recover for a few days. The effects of creatine plus beta-alanine on strength, power, body composition, and endocrine changes were examined during a 10-wk resistance- training program in collegiate football players. Results of this study demonstrate the efficacy of creatine plus beta-alanine on strength performance. Creatine plus beta-alanine supplementation appeared to have the greatest effect on lean tissue accruement and body fat composition. Kre-Alkalyn® has the benefits of regular creatine, without the associated side effects some users experience with creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate has been proven through decades of research to enhance strength , endurance, and athletic performance. Some athletes, however, have noted side effects including nausea, stomach cramps, bloating, and a host of other unwanted reactions. Kre-Alkalyn® has been referred to as a new form of creatine. However, it is actually the best form of creatine (creatine monohydrate) that has been fully stabilized. It is a new technology altogether: 100% stable creatine. Kre-Alkalyn® is processed at a higher pH level than regular creatine monohydrate. Kre-Alkalyn® also buffers lactic acid. Accumulation of metabolic acid (H+) is recognized as a rate-limiting factor in exercise. Kre-Alkalyn®'s patented buffer system immediately neutralizes the acid in the stomach, protecting the buffered creatine from creatinine conversion. The acidity is reduced, and Kre-Alkalyn® is ready for absorption. After entering the small intestine, bicarbonate ions are secreted to further alkalinize the Kre- Alkalyn® for absorption into the blood stream. Kre-Alkalyn®'s buffering effect assists in sparing the body's natural bicarbonate stores, prolonging muscular performance and delaying the onset of fatigue.

Unread Count Display Error
Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:19 pm
I am running beta 2 of ZD. When I do not look at my email for some time, ZD prompts me for my password again. While this is a bit irritating it is not the error. The error comes that the left hand display does not properly reflect the correct number of unread emails in folders, nor does it update upon subsequent activity. The left pane only corrects itself after stopping and restarting ZD.

Midland Football League Premier
AFC Wulfrunians 0 v 2 Coleshill Town
Scorers: Matt Gardner, Ryan Edmunds.
Attendance: 84.
Opposition Player Of The Match: Mathew Hunt (Wulfrunians) Ryan Edmunds (Coleshill)
Wulfs: John Bateman, Mathew Johnson, Tom Ray, Joe Daley, Ben Jevons, Matt Hunt, Brodie Williams, Rich Palmer, Jordan Harrison, Craig Gregg, Rees Wedderburn. Subs Mitchell Evans, Stanley Annebonan, Jordan Perks, Josh Smith.
Colemen: Dominic Cotter, Jorna Moulton, Anton Astley, Danny Tymon, Joe Cole, Luke Edwards, Ryan Edmunds (Corey Currithers), Joe Halsall, Matt Gardner (Liam Molesworth), Reece Leek, Giovanni Dainty (Dean Rathbone). Subs not used Brett Fellows, Chris Gibson.
Last season Coleshill travelled to the Wulfrunians on the 1st April still with a real chance of the championship but a drab 0-0 draw, followed by two disappointing defeats, Quorn and Sphinx, put paid to that! In this game Coleshill did enough to win the game, a fifth league win in a row, but the entertainment on show was as bad as last year.
The home team made the better start but apart from catching a shot/cross young Town keeper Dominic Cotter had little to do. Coleshill slowly started to come into the game and Ryan Edmunds shot powerfully just wide of the post before the Colemen took the lead on 21 minutes. Reece Leek made a terrific run right into the heart of the home defence and went down in the box. The assistant took up a position for a penalty but the referee awarded a free kick on the edge of the box. Ryan Edmunds shot through the wall but home keeper Bateman parried the powerful effort and in a scramble Matt Gardner forced the ball home. Five minutes later Coleshill made it two. Centre back Joe Cole stepped over the ball to allow it to run to his keeper but the ball lacked pace and Dominic Cotter had to rush outside his box to kick clear. Matt Gardner headed the clearance on leaving Ryan Edmunds one on one. He confidently rounded the keeper and rolled into the net. Cotter saved comfortably from Williams and Gregg but in truth there was little action worthy of note.
A hectic schedule from the start of the season, two up at the break and a big FA Cup game coming up next, Coleshill seemed to decide to let the home team have the ball and see if they could break down two solid lines of defence. Consequently the home side had the vast majority of possession but the only real chance fell to centre back Matt Hunt after a well worked move but his strike went well over the bar.
There is no doubt Coleshill have got something going, seven consecutive wins in all competitions is record breaking stuff, but, as a team, they aren't playing that well and there is definitely more to come from this side! Lets hope we see it in the FA Cup this coming week end.
