DEAR ABBY: I have been living with my girlfriend, "Robin," for four years. She has children from a previous marriage, and their father is fairly active in their lives. I jumped in and have taken the kids to activities, helped with homework and I pay the majority of the bills. I dearly love the children.
DEAR ABBY: I have been living with my girlfriend, �Robin,� for four years. She has children from a previous marriage, and their father is fairly active in their lives. I jumped in and have taken the kids to activities, helped with homework and I pay the majority of the bills. I dearly love the children.
My problem is I no longer love their mother. Robin and I are like roommates who share a bed. There is no passion, no joy together and no partnership. I spend my time with the kids or alone. She�s with them at different activities or busy on her computer. When I suggest ways we could bond together, she says, �I�m too tired,� or �I don�t want to do that,� or �This is the way it is!�
I have stayed this long only for the kids, but I�m unhappy to the point of aching. I feel guilty about leaving and the strain it will put on the kids. Is there a way to leave a situation like this? Am I a bad man for wanting out and possibly leaving the children to a tougher life?
� Unhappy in South Carolina
DEAR UNHAPPY: Because the woman you�re living with shows no interest in improving the quality of the relationship, wanting to leave does not make you a bad person. You will have to accept that because the children depend upon you for certain things they will be affected by your departure. It�s too bad you didn�t consider that before moving in with someone who had a family.
Try to make the breakup as civil as possible. Before you go, talk to each of the children individually. Make it clear that they are not the reason the relationship is ending and that you will always care about them.
� � �
DEAR ABBY: My only daughter, �Claire,� who is 25, has always had a strong work ethic. Her boyfriend �Charles� has never held a job, either during college or in the year and a half he has been out of school. They were living with his parents until Claire accepted a one-year job overseas. Charles followed.
Claire�s salary isn�t great, so I know she has little money saved, but she wants to start planning her wedding when they return. Should I stick with tradition and pay for it or listen to my head, which is telling me I don�t want to see her marry Charles until he has held a full-time job for at least a year? I think she can do better, but I suppose she could also do worse. They do seem to love each other.
� Hesitant Mother
DEAR MOTHER: Listen to your head. When Claire returns, let her know that she and her fiance will be paying for the wedding. It will be an introduction to the financial realities she and her husband will encounter after their marriage. Later on, when they�re considering buying a home, you can give them the money that might have been spent on the wedding as part of their down payment � if they are still together.
� � �
DEAR ABBY: How do I break up with friends who I love but have nothing in common with anymore? I�m married with a child, and as a new business owner, I don�t have time to meet their needs. How do you tell people in a loving way that you have appreciated their friendship in the past, but it�s over? We have grown apart.
� Don�t Have The Time
DEAR DON�T: Is it possible that your feelings are temporary, and that you are simply overwhelmed by the demands of your new business? If so, I�d hate to see you end friendships with people you love. Relationships don�t always remain at the same level or have the same intensity. Rather than cut the people off entirely, explain that you can�t be as available because you have a new business and don�t have the time. It would be kinder.

Liberty News
LU national bar passage rate is 89 percent
Liberty University School of Law has announced that 89 percent of its law graduates who took state bar exams nationwide passed them.
The 3-year-old LU law school graduated its first class in May.
The success of its graduates places the law school in the top 20 percent of all American Bar Association-approved law schools in the country with respect to bar passage rates.
LU law graduates took bar exams in 16 different states.
LU Law Dean Mat Staver said it is not unusual for a new law school to have a bar passage rate in the 30- to 40-percent range. A milestone in the history of a law school is when it reaches a bar passage rate of 70 percent.
In Virginia, the overall passage rate for all law schools was 71.97 percent.
The LU School of Law opened in August 2004 and received provisional ABA accreditation in February 2006. A factor in determining how fast a school receives permanent accreditation is how well its first graduating class does on the bar exam.
The law school's lawyering skills program is the most comprehensive in the country, combining the theory of law with the skills of law, Staver said.
Law students at Liberty have the opportunity to participate in many externship opportunities in law school. Some opportunities include real-life experience with judges, prosecutors, public defenders, legislators and policymakers, and business and corporate leaders.

All power to the energy companies when it comes to adjusting prices
When is a contract not a contract? When it is with a power company, it seems.
The industry's regulator has decided that your power supplier can raise charges whenever it decides, rejecting a plan from a consumer group to force utilities to comply with the terms of a contract.
Electricity suppliers have been accused of seeking to entice new customers by offering attractive deals on two- or even three-year contracts – except the small print gives the supplier an opt-out, the ability to raise prices when it wants.
As a result, a consumer who has shopped around to find a plan that suits them can find the prices have changed even before they receive their first bill.
This prompted the Consumer Action Law Centre, through its arm the Consumer Utilities Advocacy Centre, to seek to have power companies blocked from being able to unilaterally change fees and charges. It went to the industry's regulator, the Australian Energy Market Commission, asking it to act.
But the regulator decided not to, preferring instead to ask retailers to be upfront about any changes.
''Energy retailers must tell consumers if prices can change during the term of their retail contracts, and provide clear product disclosure details on when they will notify customers about price changes,'' commission chairman John Pierce said.
''We're pretty disappointed,'' Gerard Brody, the chief executive of the Consumer Action Law Centre, said. ''We wanted product standardisation and to make shopping around worthwhile.
''We hoped for increased certainty around the market.''
Electricity companies claim volatile energy prices in the wholesale market make it difficult to comply with contractual commitments. As well, more than half the cost of electricity can be out of their control – for example, green schemes that are mandated by government and the introduction, or withdrawal, of a carbon tax.
''Retailers can manage those risks better than households,'' Mr Brody said. ''They know the market. Instead, all of the risk lies with the household.''
The regulator's decision is at odds with that of regulators in other countries, such as the UK regulator Ofgem, which last year blocked power retailers from raising prices on fixed-term contracts, which are disadvantageous to the customer. Similarly, power companies are prevented from levying termination charges when their fixed-term contracts expire.

...a condition correctly diagnosed by a Dulwich 12-year-old during the initial outburst of hysteria in May as "like a cold"After all, who are you going to trust, doctors and scientists who have dedicated their lives to studying and treating disease, trying their best to plan and advise based on incomplete information, or some bloke in the pub?
...the one thing not to take is Tamiflu...People should take an aspirin.
If swine 'flu turns out to kill a lot of people this Autumn* then Jenkins should really be forced to confront his words***. Of course, it probably won't, further inflating his dick swinging braggadocio, until we finally do get a pandemic viral illness (which we will eventually) - when he'll be clamouring to know why more wasn't done**. Ah, the privilege of consequence free comment pieces, the life of a journalist is so easy - you get to feel so important while doing fuck all. Reminds me a little of the greatest intellectual struggle of our time.
EDIT: Heh, Gimpy got there first, pointing out that aspirin shouldn't be used in children, although there are plenty of other errors tackled in the comments to Jenkins's article. Also jonnyhead covers it and the Times's Mark Henderson.
* I really hope it doesn't, not least because it'll mean I have to deal with the consequences at work as everyone in the NHS goes off sick or to look after their children, leaving me with a massive workload and lots of really sick patients trying their hardest to infect me.
** And, I'd be willing to bet, making demands that health workers and/or other people (e.g. patients or healthy people depending on whether he's caught it) risk their own health to preserve his.
*** According to Gimpy, it would appear he's already been wrong about another viral epidemic - so it looks like it probably wouldn't bother him. Here's Jenkins on AIDS/HIV:
"Aids has been confined largely to homosexuals and drug abusers, whose activities put them at risk of blood contamination and leave them vulnerable to lethal disease. There are some Aids cases outside the "high-risk" groups, but numbers are tiny: 60 at most in Britain. As far as Britain is concerned, the plague appears to be passing."

DAN SICKLES Edgcumb Pinchon Doubleday, Doran ($3.50).
In the winter of 1859, Washington was rocked by the greatest scandal in its history. Negroes living on slovenly West 15th Street reported that a white gentleman, handsomely dressed in riding clothes, had rented one of their houses, and that when he flew a white string from one of the top windows a heavily veiled lady soon came tripping down the street and slipped into the house by the back door.
Before long, everybody knew that the signaling gentleman was U.S. District Attorney Philip Barton Key, son...

N.Y. Scene is a monthly column that chronicles lesbian nightlife and events of interest in New York. Grace Chu has come out of lesbian scene retirement to navigate the vast and ever-evolving New York City scene, so you don't have to.
The ghost of N.Y. C. Pride must have wanted seconds, because it looks like it came back to haunt and take another bite of the Big Apple. September was a packed month in New York City lesbian nightlife, and it's a miracle that I'm still standing. Maggie C's Stiletto had its end-of-the-summer Labor Day bash, That's My Jam had its 2nd year anniversary party, Truck Stop roared its way into town again, and Choice C–ts had a neon party that put the 80s to shame. To top it off, a freak tornado touched down in lesbian central, and the girls shrugged it off and kept on keepin' on.
Stiletto Labor Day Bash & Skip Trace Launch Party @ The Maritime Hotel Cabanas – 9.5.10
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As tourists descend on New York City on major holidays like the 4th of July or Labor Day, New Yorkers flee the city in droves. For this reason, I expected a thinner and more subdued crowd at the Stiletto Labor Day party, but it was just as crowded and lively as usual; the weather was excellent, the drinks were flowing, and the ladies were most definitely in attendance.
Inspired by the chill and loungey outdoor scene at the Abbey in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoons, Stiletto is held every Sunday at the Maritime Hotel Cabanas in Chelsea. During the summer, the roof comes off at the Cabanas, and the vibe is relaxing and friendly – the antithesis of a crazy club night. A refreshing change of pace from the relentless skull-rattling thumpa thumpa that characterizes the New York City nightlife scene, Stiletto is a perfect environment for sipping cocktails in the sun, meeting new friends, and carrying on conversations without blowing out your vocal cords from screaming over the latest Rihanna remix.
A new web series, Skip Trace, produced by Sarah Croce and Darlene McCullough, premiered at the party. According to its web site, Skip Trace is "a web drama about two women — best friends from Brooklyn who mess with one another, fall in love, and run around the city. Oh, and they're bounty hunters."
Throughout the day the crowd participated in several bounty hunter-themed games, including "cuffs n' cream," a pie-eating contest involving handcuffs — and "pin the cuff on the skip," which is like pin the tail on the donkey, except it involved pinning a set of handcuffs on a poster of a hot woman. There was also an unplanned game called "cuffs n' concussion," which included McCullough being hoisted onto someone's shoulders and getting tossed head first onto a concrete floor.
Oh, lesbians.
While many view Stiletto as primarily a summer party, Stiletto in fact runs all year 'round, and this winter it will be moving from Sundays to the second and fourth Fridays of each month. To learn about the details when they emerge, head over to Facebook and join Maggie C. Events page.
Also, big news for us East Coast ladies. Get ready for an annual lesbian retreat in the vein of Dinah Shore and Aquagirl. In a statement to AfterEllen.com, Maggic C. announced that she and Aqua Girl's Alison Burgos have teamed up in association with GO Magazine to produce an annual five day four night women's getaway launching in late Summer, 2011. "The getaway will take place at the brand new W retreat and Spa on Vieques Island in Puerto Rico and will cater to the hip, upscale, professional lesbian," she said. "The W retreat and Spa Vieques offers two private beaches, stunning suites, a five star restaurant and breathtaking views. Decadence at its finest." Expect a lineup of "the hottest DJ's, musicians, comedians and more throughout the weekend."
Gay guys have enough circuit parties to keep them occupied all year. Even if you're not into massive lesbian retreats, isn't it about time that we have the same choices as the boys? So who's pumped for Puerto Rico?

You really did well with this haul. "I thought about leaving it in the hot sun to see if it burns away" it is mould so a bit of sun should clear up Lando's frosty legs.
I don't think she would have the same appreciation for them. We did have Han and Leia cake toppers at our wedding though. I used the figures from the POTF2 Princess Leia collection.

The Flickers
Managed to catch one of the four programmes of short experimental work at EIFF. My head is too deliriously messed-up from flicker and strobe to offer coherent summations of all the films, but —
LANDFILL 16 (Jennifer Reeves, above) consists of 16mm fragments buried, dug up, painted over and played at different speeds. I met the filmmaker one time in New York and she seemed like the nicest person alive. The movie is a little like a series of beautiful abstract paintings, any one of which I would be delighted to frame on my wall, and they flash by so rapidly you sometimes wish you had a picture-framer handy to arrest them. The images sometimes look like decay (and I kept getting scary subliminal flashes of skulls which I don't think were actually there) and sometimes like crystals under an electron microscope and sometimes a recognizable figure will pop up for half a second. Gloriously beautiful and so condensed you almost resent having to use your eyes for an hour afterrwards.
TRICOLOR by Martina Heyduk did not have quite as lovely a sound-image conjunction — the sounds, though abstract, tended to illustrate the abstract images a little too closely. But the melting smoke shapes onscreen, and the cacophonous soundscape — like the birth pangs of a haunted dredge — were both lovely in their own right.
Kerry Laitala's CHROMATIC COCKTAIL 180 PROOF showed in 3D. The bubbly dayglo images and bleepy beats added a nice sacriligous feeling, since experimental film shows often feel like going to church.
Vicky Smith's SOBBINGSPITTINGSCRATCHING alas could not be shown, for fear that it would cause the Filmhouse's ancient 16mm projector to break down in sympathy.
I'm sorry I can't say something about all the films shown, they were all terrific. Afterwards, my temporal lobes were pulsating like Dick Smith bladder effects.

COCHABAMBA, Bolivia – When the ducks first saw the vapors rising from the highway, the ducks that could not distinguish between the heat waves rising from the pavement, and the heat waves rising from the rivers and ponds, perished.
In a similar way, it is unknown what lies within each of us that someday may result in our own survival. As with the ducks, being able to distinguish between the rising vapors of the man-made world and the world of natural creation, ensures survival of the fittest.
This is one of the stories shared by Kay Wallis, Athabascan and Gwich'in elder, during the World Peoples Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth. During an interview recorded live by Earthcycles, Wallis shares the beauty and majesty of her Yukon homeland.
Wallis said she appreciated being given the opportunity to speak for the animals and Mother Earth. She said her name "Arrow Carrier," means, "I carry messages between people." Her father is from Fort Yukon in Alaska and her mother from across the border in Canada at Old Crow.
Wallis described how the ground shakes and vibrates when the caribou arrive at the calving grounds in Alaska. She tells how the ocean breezes greet them across the plains. In the mountains, too, the wolves, their predators, are giving birth, in the cycle of life.
"We love the land, and the land loves us, otherwise it would not give us our nutrients." But, she said, things are changing.
"When the ducks used to come in my grandpa's day, they would block out the sun, there would be so many of them."
Other creatures have vanished altogether. "We don't hear swallows anymore."
Glacier water moves fast in her homeland, where the people hunt and fish, living off the moose, caribou, birds, fish and salmon. In this land where a frozen chicken can cost $50 in a store, the people are taught to hunt, hunting in a manner where the animals give themselves to them.
It is life on a grand scale, and life that is a harbinger of things to come. "Some parts of the Yukon River you can't see across. It is one of the largest rivers in North America."
It is in this land, of the far north, that the people see what is coming. As temperatures rise, the salmon can not survive in high temperatures without sufficient oxygen.
"The world is going through change. We can't go back. We are going to be called upon to make great sacrifices and great changes."
Wallis said people have a natural tendency to go into denial mode, but humanity must act now to ensure the gifts of Mother Earth for Seven Generations.
Mary Ann Mills, Kenaitze Indian Nation, said the world needs to understand that the Arctic must remain frozen because it acts as an air conditioner for the earth. The Arctic cools the earth's temperature. Climate change goes beyond all racial boundaries, she said, asking: "What happens to the spirit of the people when the foods they have been eating are no longer available."
What most people do not know is that 75 to 80 percent of the population of Native Alaskans was lost after first contact with those who came to their land, Mills said during the interviews.
Mills warned that 31 villages face immediate threats and 200 villages are impacted by floods and erosion. Ice is coming down the rivers.
Ice is melting now that has never melted before.
"We are the first people to be effected," she said. The sensitive areas of the north are being compromised by emissions and oil drilling. Alaskan Native villages will have to be relocated because of the melting ice, or the people will perish, she said.
Mills said in the prophecy, it is told that there will be those who will attempt to destroy the land.
It is the Raven People who will protect the land. If others destroy the land, then the Creator will destroy these people, according to the prophecy.
"We have a chance, but we have to show respect."
Alaska is the land of the Native people, but today there are few jobs and fuel sells from $10 to $14 a gallon. While trillions of dollars in resources have been taken out of Alaska, little has been returned to help Alaskan Natives.
While the United States and corporations have been taking with little given back, it was President Hugo Chavez and the country of Venezuela that brought heating oil to help Alaskan Natives.
Meanwhile, she said the result of the US Congress deceptively making Alaskan Natives into corporations has brought division, as it was designed to do, in this method of divide and conquer.
"The intent was to take our land," she said of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. "It was to get the land for the big corporations."
She said the United States does not own the land in Alaska, Alaskan Natives do.
"In my heart I am not a corporation. The truth is so powerful. Our people would like to have their freedom and like to have their land," she said, adding that no one knows the land better than the Native people of Alaska.
Wallis and Mills thanked the people of Bolivia for their kindness during the World Climate Conference, President Evo Morales for calling for the conference and President Chavez for bringing heating oil to Alaskan Natives.

New York City branches of the International Socialist Organization will be hosting study groups of Keeanga Yamahtta-Taylor's new book, From #Black Lives Matter to Black Liberation. The book is available from Haymarket Books or your local ISO branch. Join us for this important discussion.
Uptown Study Group
Wednesday, March 2
Sinergia, Inc
2082 Lexington Ave
(take 4,5,6 trains to 125th Street)
About the book
The eruption of mass protests in the wake of the police murders of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and Eric Garner in New York City have challenged the impunity with which officers of the law carry out violence against Black people and punctured the illusion of a postracial America. The Black Lives Matter movement has awakened a new generation of activists.
In this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and Black unemployment. In this context, she argues that this new struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for Black liberation.
About the author
Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor writes on Black politics, social movements, and racial inequality in the United States. Her articles have been published in Souls: A Critical Journal of Black Politics, Culture and Society, Jacobin, New Politics, the Guardian, In These Times, Black Agenda Report, Ms., International Socialist Review, Al Jazeera America, and other publications. Taylor is assistant professor in the department of African American Studies at Princeton University.
"This brilliant book is the best analysis we have of the #BlackLivesMatter moment of the long struggle for freedom in America. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor has emerged as the most sophisticated and courageous radical intellectual of her generation."
—Dr. Cornel West
"Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor's searching examination of the social, political and economic dimensions of the prevailing racial order offers important context for understanding the necessity of the emerging movement for black liberation."
—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow
"Class Matters! In this clear-eyed, historically informed account of the latest wave of resistance to state violence, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor not only exposes the canard of color-blindness but reveals how structural racism and class oppression are joined at the hip. If today's rebels ever expect to end inequality and racialized state violence, she warns, then capitalism must also end. And that requires forging new solidarities, envisioning a new social and economic order, and pushing a struggle to protect Black Lives to its logical conclusion: a revolution capable of transforming the entire nation."
—Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
"With political eloquence, intellectual rigor, and an unapologetically left analysis,the brilliant scholar-activist Keeanga Taylor has provided a powerful contribution to our collective understanding of the current stage of the Black freedom struggle in the United States, how we arrived at this point, and what battles we need to fight in order to truly achieve liberation. From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation is a must read for everyone who is serious about the ongoing praxis of freedom."
—Barbara Ransby, author of Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement: A Radical Democratic Vision
"Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor has a strong voice, a sharp mind and a clear, readable style that all come together in this penetrating, vital analysis of race and class at this critical moment in America's racial history."
—Gary Younge, editor-at-large for the Guardian
"Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor brings the long history of Black radical theorizing and scholarship into the neoliberal 21st century with From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation. Her strong voice is deeply needed at a time when young activists are once again reforging a Black liberation movement that is under constant attack. Deeply rooted in Black radical, feminist and socialist traditions, Taylor's book is an outstanding example of the type of analysis that is needed to build movements for freedom and self-determination in a far more complicated terrain than that confronted by the activists of the 20th century. Her book is required reading for anyone interested in justice, equality and freedom."
—Michael C. Dawson, author of Blacks In and Out of the Left
"From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation is a profoundly insightful book from one of the brightest new lights in African American Studies. Keeanga Yamahtta-Taylor invites us to rethink the postwar history of the US and to place the actions of everyday people, including the hundreds of thousands of African Americans who participated in the urban rebellions and wildcat strikes of 1960s and 1970s, at the forefront of American politics. By doing so, she offers up a "usable past" for interpreting the current anti-state sanctioned violence movement sweeping the U.S. in the early twenty-first century. This timely volume provides much needed analysis not only of race and criminalization in modern American history, but of the specific roles played by a bi-partisan electoral elite, the corporate sector, and the new black political class in producing our current onslaught of police killings and mass incarceration in the years since the Voting Rights Act's passage. Yamahtta-Taylor's fluent voice as historian and political theorist renders legible the accomplishments and, perhaps most importantly, the expansive possibilities of a new generation of black youth activism."
—Donna Murch, author of Living for the City: Migration, Education, and the Rise of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California
"Keeanga-Yahmatta Taylor has given us an important book, one that might help us to understand the roots of the contemporary policing crisis and build popular opposition capable of transforming the current, dismal state of affairs. Equal parts historical analysis and forceful polemic, From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation provides a much-needed antidote to the post-racial patter that has defined the Obama years, but it also serves as a proper corrective for the "new civil rights movement" posturing of some activists. Against such nostalgic thinking, Taylor reminds us of the new historical conditions we face, and the unique challenges created by decades of African American political integration. From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation sketches a politics that rightly connects anti-police brutality protests and a broader anti-capitalist project. Everyone who has grown sick of too many undeserved deaths at the hands of police and vigilantes should read and debate this book."
—Cedric G. Johnson, author of Revolutionaries to Race Leaders: Black Power and the Making of African American Politics

"A killer result" was Kingstonian manager Alan Dowson's angry verdict after a late collapse at Thamesmead Town denied his team a vital win.
But Ks still lie fourth in the Ryman Premier League table, and Saturday's 2-2 draw need not prove fatal to promotion hopes.
Defensive frailties need mending, however - 2-0 up with 10 minutes remaining, Ks looked in control, if not entirely comfortable, before the Ryman One North champions grabbed a point through Shamir Mullings and Danny Phillips.
Dowson was generous in defeat, focusing more on his own side's defensive problems than Mead's aggressive tactics.
"We put a back five in there to make sure [the opposition] don't score a goal," he said.
"But they've not had a good game… Two goals should be enough to win it. I've got to do something about it.
"I keep on saying that but we can't keep conceding fours and threes and twos… it's happened every single week for the past six weeks."
Thamesmead were fourth from bottom, had lost five in a row and survive on crowds of less than 100.
Sponsorship funds are not easy to find in their forgotten patch of south-east London, an ambitious 1960s new town, which has spent a generation in decline.
Mead received due reward for a display of brutal persistence.
They had chased the match with a rough, collective intensity more associated with NFL than non-League soccer, their players hunting territory in packs and screaming for every decision.
Mullings, in particular, was a frightening presence and was lucky not to be red-carded for kicking out at Sean Ray, who battled manfully amidst the high balls and dirty tricks.
It could all have been so much easier. Before the fiery ending, Josh Casey had calmly given Ks an early lead, lashing in a fine left-foot finish from the corner of the box.
Shortly after half-time, Ryan Moss made it two, dinking the ball intelligently past Sam Mott after being put clean through.
There followed a series of wonderful opportunities to run up a big score, with two strikes cleared off the line.
Slowly Thamesmead realised there was life left in the game. A penalty miss should have served as a warning to Ks before two chances from direct forward play got Mead on level terms.
There was still time for Andre McCollin to waste another on-on-one for Ks.
Moss was then hauled down in the box by two Mead defenders in the final minute, but the referee inexplicably pointed for a corner.
Ks travel to East Thurrock United on Tuesday night before hosting Billericay Town next Saturday.

Highlights: San Jose Earthquakes 0-0 Whitecaps FC
Must-win mentality
We really need to build off last weekend's match in San Jose, in which we took the game to the Earthquakes on the road and nearly snatched a win.
Getting a draw in Montreal would not be the worst thing in the world and it's not necessarily a "must-win" game, but we have to approach this important match like it is.
Maybe that's why we have been so strong at home – the general mindset is that you need to win most of your home games if you want to make the playoffs. Taking the same approach on the road worked against San Jose and we need that same mentality on Saturday.
Considering Montreal will be playing their third game in a week and will have travelled to the West Coast and back, they may find it hard to get their legs going early. If we can start this game aggressively and really push our midfield and fullbacks forward, getting lots of crosses into the box, we may be able to silence the home crowd with the first goal.
This isn't a must-win game, but as we showed in San Jose, if we approach it as such we will be far better off.
Di Vaio heads home his 18th goal of the season last weekend
Don't forget about Di Vaio
Marco Di Vaio is a striker who doesn't need a lot of chances to score. After all, he leads Major League Soccer with 18 goals in 26 appearances this season.
We will have to look to limit the amount of touches he has on the ball, especially in the penalty area. The Italian striker has such a quick release when he's shooting so it will be important to have one or even two players around him at all times in order to prevent his attempts on goal.
Sometimes, Di Vaio will drift deep or out wide so Vancouver's whole back four as well as our defensive midfielder will have to be aware of where he is on the field. No one player can shut Di Vaio down on his own – it has to be a team effort.
Di Vaio is a major part of Montreal's attack and if we can keep him quiet – like we did in both Amway Canadian Championship meetings with Montreal earlier this season – it could result in a big three points.
Camilo and Kobayashi score against Montreal in ACC Final
Confident and clinical
The one thing lacking from our performance in San Jose was execution in front of the net. We obviously have to score to win the game, but the goals have dried up of late.
There's no better time to turn that around. We need to get good service into the box and have our forwards and midfielders crashing the net. And when we get on the end of these dangerous balls, we have to have more conviction and belief in front of goal. At the same time, we simply need more shots on target.
This isn't just about the forwards and midfielders, as we will have chances on set plays and defenders will be involved. Whoever it is has to be determined and clinical when they get their chance, because it could be the difference.

Why is there excess oil in candle? Sometimes when making candles, your finished product may have excess oil in it. This oil slick may be along the edges, on the top, or at the bottom of your candle. This oil is actually fragrance oil. Excess fragrance oil in the candle containers is a tell tale sign that too much fragrance oil was used in the candle making process.
How to Solve It! Sticking to the recommended usage suggestion for fragrance oil per type of wax is the smartest move, especially if you are new to candle making. Another early warning sign to prevent oil in your finished candle happens during the pour steps. When pouring the wax into the containers, if you notice an "oil slick" in the bottom of your pouring pot, stop the pour before the oil comes out. If there is any leftover fragrance oil that the wax did not absorb initially, the wax will not absorb it in your container either.

If anything has been absent from Sony's compact camera range it would have to be a high-end model. Today the company lays that to rest with the announcement of the Cyber-shot RX100 - an advanced compact with a 1-inch sensor size.
The sensor, the same size as that found in Nikon's 1-series of compact system camera, is laced with 20.2 megapixels for ultra-high-resolution images.
Sony is seriously packing in the pixels here, but with a sensor around four times larger than that found in a standard compact camera it's got the space to do so. And yet at that resolution the overall quality may flounder - for now we can't say as there are no final production RX100 models available to play with yet, but perhaps a 12 or 16-megapixel sensor might have lit our eyes up even more.
Matched with the sensor is the inclusion of a 3.6x optical zoom lens. In old money terms that's a 28-100mm f/1.8-4.9 equivalent. This Carl Zeiss optic has seven rounded aperture blades for a circular "bokeh" effect and more DSLR-like quality in shallow depth of field shots.
That bright wide-angle aperture will certainly be a headline sell for some, although the dip to f/4.9 at the 100mm setting may come as a slight disappointment. The reason for this will be size and cost – if it was a brighter lens throughout the zoom it would cost a lot more to manufacture and, therefore, rule out a lot of prospective purchasers, but it would also become large to the point of absurdity. Sony is also keen to point out the lens's "AA" (Advanced Aspherical) design that makes the compact's, er, compact size possible.
To complement the sensor and lens combination is Sony's latest Bionz image processor. This means the RX100 can shoot from ISO 100-6400, or up to ISO 25,600 in the expanded settings. Such processing power also means a super-fast 10 frames per second (10fps) burst mode is available.
But that's not all that's fast: Sony claims that the camera's high-speed autofocus can lock on to a subject in as little as 0.13 seconds. Fast, though not quite as fast as Panasonic's "light speed autofocus" system which is down to 0.09 seconds. Splitting hairs? Probably, as no manufacturer's autofocus system remains as quick when zooming up the lens's focal length.
Although there's no viewfinder the RX100 includes a 3-inch, 1,229k-dot resolution LCD screen. But that's not all, this Sony is the first camera that we're aware of to debut "White Magic" - a white pixel thrown in the mix for added brightness, much like that found in LG's OLED TV technology. Although the screen may sound higher resolution than a standard 921k-dot LCD, it isn't – the inclusion of that extra pixel account for a quarter of the "dots" that form the VGA (640x480 pixels) resolution screen.
Advanced users have full manual control, including manual focus, a programmable function button and a control ring around the lens itself.
The RX100 is built around an aluminium shell, adding to its list of premium features. This ought to be one lightweight, tough cookie of a compact.
Although there's no official price, we anticipate that the RX100 will cost around £500-600 and launch at the end of July.
RX100: Quick Specs Overview
- 20.2-megapixel 1-inch Exmor CMOS sensor
- 28-100mm f/1.8-4.9 (equivalent) lens
- ISO 100-6400, expands to ISO 25,600
- 1080p HD movie capture
- 10 frames per second burst mode
- 3-inch, 1,229k-dot WRGB LCD screen
- Raw & JPEG files
- Aluminium body
- Lens ring for advanced control
Will you be quick to snap up an RX100 or does another high end compact, such as the Canon G1 X, take your fancy?

Havelock police are not immediately cracking down on sweepstakes business owners whose machines may be illegal. Instead, they hope the owners take actions themselves before they get involved.
Havelock police are not immediately cracking down on sweepstakes business owners whose machines may be illegal. Instead, they hope the owners take actions themselves before they get involved.
Police Chief G. Wayne Cyrus said that he would be meeting with city manager, possibly on Monday, to determine a course of action.
A N.C. Supreme Court ruling last month cleared the way for a law that makes the gambling machines illegal in North Carolina.
Cyrus said he hoped that business owners who have operated the machines will voluntarily comply with the new law by taking the illegal machines out of operation on their own before police have to get involved.
�The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled that the machines are illegal and the court also denied an appeal form some of those business owners asking that that ruling be set aside so what we have is a situation where the new law does take affect and those that continue to operate do so at their own risk,� Cyrus said.
Cindy Morgan, Havelock city clerk, said 10 businesses in the city operated sweepstakes machines and paid a sweepstakes business privilege tax to operate legally until the new law and court ruling.
Havelock earned $48,000 in revenue for the last fiscal year from the businesses.
The Havelock News contacted businesses with the machines, and the ones who could be reached and would comment said they were complying with the new law but weren�t necessarily happy about it.
�We stopped Monday and put signs on them. By the law we shut it down,� said Matt Mistry, manager at U.S. Mini Mart, at 221 East Main St.
Mistry said that he planned on getting new software for his two consoles that could make the machines legal.
A representative from Food Fare at 227 West Main St. said that the three machines in the store, which are not owned by the business, are shut down and are not being used.
A bartender from Friends Billiard and Pub at 571 U.S. 70 West, who did not want to be named, said that the three machines that the business had were taken out on Thursday. She said that the machines were popular and were used a lot, especially on weekends. She said customers were outraged that the machines had to be taken out.
�Even people that don�t use them are outraged about it,� she said. �It�s our right to gamble if we want to.�
Other businesses that are listed by the city as having the sweepstakes machines include
Jean�s Place at 33 East Main St., Internet Sweepstakes at 466 U.S. 70 West, Internet Connections at 103 Bells St., Falls Boys Inc. at 223 West Main St., BJ Billiards at 466 Westbrook Shopping Center, Ben�s Beach Bingo at 103 Bells St., and B and B Internet Access at 103 Bells St.
Cyrus said Friday that the police department would be considering guidelines from the N.C. League of Municipalities to determine the right course of action on dealing with businesses where the machines had been operating.
The Carteret County Sheriff�s office joined with Newport police in checking 13 businesses that had machines on Thursday. Of those, two were not in compliance with the new law, according to a release.
Sweepstakes Warehouse at Courtesy Town Square in Newport and H&D Express on N.C. 24 in Broad Creek shut down their machines upon request and were cooperative when informed they were not in compliance, the release said.
Businesses that violate the new law could be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor on the first offense, a Class H felony for the second offense and a Class G felony on the third or later offenses, according to the release.

If you have a desktop computer, chances are you have browsed the Internet using Yahoo. It's OK, most of us have -- and that's why it's ranked the top search engine for desktop computer, according to analytics firm comScore.
Yahoo scored the top title in July 2013 and apparently has keep the No. 1 place for the last six months, according to CNET. Yahoo had 195 million unique users in December 2013, while Google had 192 million, and Microsoft had 175 million. The entire desktop population using Internet search is 224 million.
Until July 2013, Google held the top spot, but Yahoo has been keeping its users. While Yahoo is an older brand than either Google or Bing, it may be that desktop users are older and may be more likely to have Yahoo email accounts (that includes this writer.)

Pope Francis and the Vatican gear up for Holy Week Celebrations and ancient traditions in and around Rome. These events commemorate the last week of the life of Jesus Christ before his painful death on the cross and ultimate Resurrection.
During the Coronavirus pandemic, the traditions will change. Easter Sunday mass will be live-streamed at 11:00 am Rome time.
The Tiburtine Sybil named Albunea, told Emperor Augustus (27 BC-AD 14) in a mystic meeting, that the first-born of God would one day rule his empire: "Haec est ara primogeniti Dei"-This is the altar of the first-born of God.
Augustus commemorated the spot by erecting an altar. The church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli (altar of Heaven) now crowns the highest point of the Campidoglio in Rome with 124 steps that lead to the entrance of the church. In the church, the figures of Augustus and the Tiburtine Sibyl are painted on either side of the arch above the high altar.
Inside this church are the relics of St. Helen in a porphyry urn. Saint Helena was the mother of Emperor Constantine who ultimately decreed the Christianization of pagan Rome. Inside the church, there is a chapel of the Santo Bambino. The Bambino is carved from olive wood from Jerusalem using wood from the Garden of Gethsemane. It was created by a Franciscan monk in the 15th century.
Furthermore, the Tiburtine Sibyl prophesied a final Emperor named Constan who would "vanquish the foes of Christianity and end paganism."
Michelangelo portrayed the Sibyls in the frescos of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
The Easter story of the "Passion of Christ" is depicted in the 14 "Stations of the Cross." The "INRI" on the cross is the abbreviation of "King of the Jews" in Hebrew. During his lifetime, Jesus encountered the same type of pain that normal people excounter. He endured physical pain, mental anguish, rejection, abandonment and betrayal. Holy Week allows us to recall the great sacrifice that Jesus made for all of us and signifies new beginnings.
Holy Week is one of the most religious and exciting times of the year to visit Rome and many other towns in Italy and Spain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZl_Ab29id4&NR=1. Holy Week events begin on Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday. On this day, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and was welcomed as royalty with the path paved with branches and palms. The ceremonies during the week revolve around the story of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. On Palm Sunday, Holy Week begins with the Pope's blessing of the palms in St. Peter's Square.
The three days before Easter are called the Paschal Triduum of Death, Burial and Resurrection of the Lord http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcNFTNu1I4M.
The Easter Vigil is the high point of the Triduum: "The night Jesus Christ broke the chains of death and rose triumphant from the grave." The church empties the Holy Water from the fonts on the days of the Sacred Paschal Triduum in preparation of the blessing of the water at the Easter Vigil. The Passion is read three times during Holy Week: Passion Sunday, Holy Thursday and Good Friday. The words of Jesus are always read by a priest.
On Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday), the Pope performs a rare morning mass. "The Mass of the Chrism" is held in St. Peter's Square when the oils are blessed and the Chrism is consecrated. Chrism is a combination of balsam and oil and is used for annointing for occasions like confirmation and ordinations.
In the evening after sun-down, the Mass of the Lord's Supper commemorates the institution of the Eucharist and the Last Supper of Jesus with the Apostles. This event includes a reading of Matthew's account of the "Passion of Christ"; the narration of Jesus' capture, suffering and death. It includes the representation of Jesus Christ washing the feet of his Disciples which was carried out by Pope Benedict at the Cathedral of St. John Lateran where he washed the feet of 12 priests http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngIUmGhwwqs.
On Good Friday, the day of Christ's brutal crucufixion in AD33, choirs sing St. John's version of Christ's crucifixion. Peter Paul Rubens' "Ecce Homo" (Behold the Man) portrays Christ with his "Crown of Thorns" before his Crucifixion. After his crucifixion, he was covered with a shroud http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dVQnkKlphY&feature=relmfu.
On this day in Catholic churches around the world, Christians glorify the cross in their individual parishes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubkiKyjo9WU. The cross is venerated as a symbol of our faith by kneeling in front of the cross and kissing it. In this way, we honor the Lord's Cross as an instrument of our salvation. The cross was the means of Jesus Christ's execution and as a sign of victory over sin and death. The church does not celebrate the Liturgy of the Eucharist on Good Friday, rather the Church commemorates the Lord's Passion.
In Rome on Good Friday, a solemn "Via Crucis Procession" (The Way of the Cross) involves an evening torch-lit procession that follows the Pope as he traces the Stations of the Cross from the Colosseum to Palatine Hill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2qwjLTFcwQ. The church in Rome adopted the practice of "Adoration of the Cross" from the Church in Jerusalem where a fragment of wood believed to be the Lord's cross has been venerated every year on Good Friday since the fouth century http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8eDPyXYv50.
St. Helen, the mother of emperor Constantine, discovered this fragment of wood on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 326. Pope Alexander VII had the top of the obelisk in St. Peter's Square adorned with his insignia. There is a relic of Christ's "True Cross" encased in this emblem of Pope Alexander that crowns the Obelisk.
Jesus had 12 disciples. They were pupils or followers of Christ. The Passion of Christ was initiated when the Temple Guards, guided by Judas Iscario, captured Jesus. Judas was a Disciple of Jesus who betrayed him by telling the guards that whomever he kisses, they should arrest. Judas was paid in silver for his betrayal which is portrayed in "The Kiss of Judas." The trial and painful crucifixion of Jesus ensued. Judas ended up returning the silver and committing suicide.
Giotto's version is shown below:
On the Joseph Maria Subirachs "Magic Square" on the facade of Gaudi's Sagada Familia in Barcelona (Quadrato magico di Sagrada Familia) next to "The Kiss of Judas" in the picture below, notice that all colums, diagonals and rows add up to 33, the year of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Caravaggio's famous portrayal of "The Kiss of Judas."
On Holy Saturday, Jesus' lifeless body was cradled in the arms of Mary, as portrayed in Michelangelo's "Pieta."
He was then laid to rest in the borrowed grave of a friend. Churches around the world conduct an Easter Vigil where we celebrate Jesus Christ; our light who drives away the darkness of our lives http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3d9LTi_U2w&feature=relmfu. At the beginning of the Easter Vigil, the church is darkened and gradually springs to life with the Ressurection of the Lord as faithful parishoners light candles inside the church. The Easter Vigil service includes the Service of Light, the Blessing of the Fire and the Preparation of the Paschal Candle and Procession.
The gloomy darkness of Good Friday is followed by the joyful celebration of trumpets at Easter which "dispels all evil, washes guilt away, restores lost innocence, brings mourners joy, casts out hatred, brings us peace and humbles earthly pride" (Paschal Praeconium, the Exsultet). Easter Sunday celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. His Ascension into Heaven is the 40th day after Easter. On Easter Sunday, Pope Benedict delivers his blessing "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and to the world) in St. Peter's Square http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5axrSsEU_U0&feature=related.
In the picture below, Jesus Christ is ascending into Heaven above the altar of Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona Spain. The term apostle came into use after the Ascension of Jesus Christ when the disciples (followers) who had witnessed his resurrection, became apostles (ambassadors of the Gospel: evangelists and teachers). The true apostolic age ended when the last apostle died in about 100AD.
The Pope delivers several messages to faithful pilgrims between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBwIefKXY0s.

Tyrann Mathieu is moving to free safety and, according to a report from Peter King, he'll be doing it without any guaranteed money coming his way from the Cardinals.
In his Monday Morning Quarterback column at SI.com, King writes that Mathieu will not have guarantees on the deal he signs in Arizona but will have roster bonuses that will require him to be on the team each week in order to see his entire salary. King also reports that the team will "randomly" drug test Mathieu as often as once a week once he signs that guarantee-less contract as part of their plan to keep the erstwhile Honey Badger from blowing his NFL opportunity.
And from blowing the team's chance to benefit from a player who might have gone earlier in the draft if not for his marijuana habit in college. King spoke to Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim, who said that he hoped to maximize the return and minimize the risk by having former LSU teammate Patrick Peterson will serve as a mentor of sorts for Mathieu.
"It's uncharacteristic of our organization to take chances on guys with troubled pasts. But we thought this was a good player and person for us to take," Keim said. "I'm not naïve about this. I know the risk. But the risk to reward was enticing. His passion for the game is off the charts."
Enlisting Peterson as a helper and making Mathieu's compensation contingent on staying clean are both things that make it likelier that the Cardinals will realize a return on their pick, but Mathieu remains the wild card since he already missed the chance to capitalize on one golden chance in his football career. No matter what the Cardinals do, it will be up to him whether or not it happens again.

Research Interests
I am broadly interested in mechanisms underlying the environmental adaptation of plants with respect to efficiencies in resource utilization and stress tolerance. My research focuses on efficiency and safety of vascular transport and the functional coordination between plant water relations and carbon economy. One of my approaches to address these questions is to conduct ecophysiological comparative studies on species with contrasting growth forms. I am also interested in incorporating phylogenetic analyses to probe the evolution of plant functional traits.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee State senior and track and field student-athlete Royce Dates will represent the Flying Tigers in New Mexico at the 2014 NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships this Friday.
"I would have hated my senior Indoor season to end at the conference championship," Dates said. "I have been working hard all year to make it to NCAA's and my coaches always told me to 'train for the plane'".
Dates will participate in the Long Jump after his leap of 7.71 meters in the OVC Indoor Championship set a new personal-record and placed him 14th nationally.
"My initial reaction was that I still have more work to do. I realized that I made some small mistakes with my jumps at the OVC Championship, and I have been correcting them in practice," Dates said.
Dates is the fourth-best jumper in the South Region while teammate Tyler Anderson is ranked seventh. Tigerbelle Amber Hughes, meanwhile, is pegged fourth in the female 60-meter hurdles.
The NCAA Indoor Long Jump will take place on Friday, March 14 at 6 p.m.
