Heart Valves and Circulation
Properly Working System
To fully understand your valve condition or the problems you or your loved one may be facing, it helps to understand the basics of heart valves and circulation.
Heart Chambers and Valves
The heart's job is to pump oxygen-rich blood throughout the entire body so that every cell can thrive.
Blood always flows through the system in the same pattern: coming from the body, passing through the right side of heart, then out to the lungs to receive oxygen, then passing back through the left side of the heart and then traveling out to the body.
What is the purpose of the heart chambers?
The normal heart has two distinct sides and four "holding areas" called chambers for circulating blood.
- The upper chambers – called the right atrium and the left atrium – collect blood flowing in from the body and in from the lungs.
- The lower chambers – called ventricles – collect blood from the atria then pump it forcefully out.
- The right ventricle pumps out to the lungs.
- The left ventricle pumps to the aorta and out to the body.
What is the job of heart valves? Why are valves important for circulation and health?
Each heart valve has two important functions:
- To open correctly so that blood can empty from the chamber
- To close properly so that blood cannot flow the wrong way
When the valves and chambers fail to move blood properly, symptoms may eventually develop and may require critically important treatment.

We have presented here a two-dimensional kinetical scheme for equations governing the motion of a compressible flow of an ideal gas (air) based on the Kaniel method. The basic flux functions are computed analytically and have been used in the organization of the flux computation. The algorithm is implemented and tested for the 1D shock and 2D shock-obstacle interaction problems.
Particle methods to simulate rarefied gas flows have found an increasing interest in Computational Fluid Dynamics during the last decade, see for example [1], [2], [3] and [4]. The general goal is to develop numerical schemes which are reliable enough to substitute real windtunnel experiments, needed for example in space research, by computer experiments. In order to achieve this goal one needs numerical methods solving the Boltzmann equation including all important physical effects. In general this means 3D computations for a chemically reacting rarefied gas. With codes of this kind at hand, Boltzmann simulation becomes a powerful tool in studying rarefied gas phenomena.
This paper contains the basic ideas and practical aspects for numerical methods for solving the Boltzmann Equation. The main field of application considered is the reentry of a Space Shuttle in the transition from free molecular flow to continuum flow. The method used will be called Finite Pointset Method (FPM) approximating the solution by finite sets of particles in a rigorously defined way. Convergence results are cited while practical aspects of the algorithm are emphasized. Ideas for the transition to the Navier Stokes domain are shortly discussed.
We discuss how kinetic and aerodynamic descriptions of a gas can be matched at some prescribed boundary. The boundary (matching) conditions arise from requirement that the relevant moments (p,u,...) of the particle density function be continuous at the boundary, and from the requirement that the closure relation, by which the aerodynamic equations (holding on one side of the boundary) arise from the kinetic equation (holding on the other side), be satisfied at the boundary. We do a case study involving the Knudsen gas equation on one side and a system involving the Burgers equation on the other side in section 2, and a discussion for the coupling of the full Boltzmann equation with the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in section 3.
Industrial mathematics has many faces; but its essential feature is the cooperation of partners - from industry and from universities - with quite different interest (business versus academic carreer), normally working on different time scales. They measure success in a different way (selling rate against citing index), they have different hierarchies of values and are very often distrusting each other. Industry doubts that mathematicians are willing and/or able to produce something real practical and useful (and the mathematicians should not be too much surprised about this attitude, they very often doubt themselves) - mathematicians are afraid to loose their competence (their ideal of scientific truth, to say it more idealistically), to sell their souls.

My company has a two-part mission: to "Inspire, Inform & Boldly Promote Courageous Women in Business" and to "Celebrate the Creativity of Moms by Launching Innovative Mom Invented® Products around the World."
How did you get to where you are now?
For a time I thought I wanted to be a psychologist so I was on a Ed.D. track in psychology. I got involved in Bill Clinton's 1996 election campaign and ultimately was appointed to a number of positions in the White House and then as Chief of Staff in the Department of Adult Education in the US Department of Education. During the process I became fascinated by the women in leadership. I had met and ended up finishing my doctorate in International Multi-Cultural Education with an emphasis on Women in Leadership.
In 2000, my husband, who was also serving in the White House, was offered a dot com position in Hong Kong. I opened a consultancy in Hong Kong helping American businesses expand into Asian markets. In 2001, as the dot.com world changed, we moved home and I had my first daughter, Sophia.
It was becoming a mother that inspired me to invent a product called the TP Saver (toilet paper saver) after she began clogging the toilet. From there, many mothers reached out to me asking for help. They, too, had ideas that wanted to bring to fruition. Because there were so many and I wanted to support them all, I created the www.mominvented.com website and wrote The Mom Inventors Handbook to share everything I knew from going through the process of bringing a product to market myself. In 2007 McGraw-Hill published my second book, Secrets of Millionaire Moms. This book was about general business but I also wanted to provide experiences, insights and inspiration from some of the most successful Mom Entrepreneurs in America.

Somerset County man jailed after investigators say he's behind 28 burglaries
Police displayed cash, drugs, lottery tickets, gun all stolen during break-ins
A Somerset County man is jailed after police say he is behind 28 burglaries in just two months.
Roy Thomas Penrose III, 22, of Friedens, is facing five criminal charges for each of the 28 burglaries, Somerset County District Attorney Lisa Lazzari-Strasiser said at a news conference Friday. She said there were a total of 36 burglaries or attempted burglaries in the Somerset and Westmoreland County areas from mid-August to mid-October.
"It would go four or five days with nothing, then over the course of 48 hours in the early mornings, we would have three or four break-ins," she said.
Lazzari-Strasiser said solving the case became an obsession for her because the thief was stealing safes, cash, lottery tickets and other items, all from businesses. An anonymous tip to state police led investigators to Penrose. He is being held in the Somerset County Jail on $75,000 bond.
"I think all of us will sleep a little easier this weekend," she said.
SLIDESHOW: Evidence photos from the Somerset burglaries
Ralph Blanset owns Blanset's Hardware in Stoystown. Penrose is charged with burglarizing the store and stealing a safe containing lottery tickets.
"I'm really glad," Blanset said of the arrest, "and I think the lottery will be too, because they were still investigating and wanted a police report."
Police said the investigation is ongoing, and more charges could be coming.

"Grateful Dead: The Long Strange Trip" has gotten longer. The largest collection of the Marin-based band's artifacts and historical documents ever displayed has been extended through March 24 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, it was announced Thursday.
"Everyone at Grateful Dead Productions is thrilled," said David Lemieux, the band's legacy manager and namesake of the "Dave's Picks" CD series. "The museum's curatorial team has collected historical items from the band members themselves, the UC Santa Cruz Grateful Dead Archive and from private collectors to create a two-story display that shouldn't be missed by any Deadhead or music lover."
The exhibit opened on April 12 during the hall's induction
week festivities. It capped a long negotiation with the band that had been ongoing since the hall opened in 1995, the year guitarist Jerry Garcia, the Dead's paterfamilias, died and the group stopped touring.
"They finally said yes," Curatorial Director Howard Kramer said before the opening.
In being the latest group to have a major exhibit at the hall, the Dead join a short list of rock legends that includes Elvis Presley, U2, the Who, the Clash, the Doors and the Supremes.
A highlight of the exhibit is a showcase of iconic instruments band members played on stage, including Garcia's Travis Bean TB5 guitar, Bob Weir's Ibanez "cowboy" custom guitar and a bass from Phil Lesh. The band's famed "Wall of Sound" concert system
has been incorporated into the exhibit's graphic design.
No Grateful Dead exhibit would be complete without documenting the band's legions of Deadhead fans. The Deadhead section features a collection of homemade marijuana pipes and other paraphernalia that reflects the parking lot scene that sprouted outside the band's shows.
"In a 30-year career, this group wrote their own rules and created a community unlike any band before or since," Kramer said.
Since the exhibit opened, several band members have toured the exhibit and participated in various programs.

Although usually known as Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, his proper name was Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Tusi. In fact al-Tusi was known by a number of different names during his lifetime such as Muhaqqiq-i Tusi, Khwaja-yi Tusi and Khwaja Nasir.
Al-Tusi was born in Tus, which lies close to Meshed in northeastern Iran high up in the valley of the Kashaf River. He was born at the beginning of a century which would see conquests across the whole of the Islamic world from close to China in the east to Europe in the west. It was the era when the vast military power of the Mongols would sweep across the vast areas of the Islamic world displaying a bitter animosity towards Islam and cruelly massacring people. This was a period in which there would be little peace and tranquillity for great scholars to pursue their works, and al-Tusi was inevitably drawn into the conflict engulfing his country.
In Tus, al-Tusi's father was a jurist in the Twelfth Imam School. The Twelfth Imam was the main sect of Shi'ite Muslims and the school where al-Tusi was educated was mainly a religious establishment. However, while studying in Tus, al-Tusi was taught other topics by his uncle which would have an important influence on his intellectual development. These topics included logic, physics and metaphysics while he also studied with other teachers learning mathematics, in particular algebra and geometry.
In 1214, when al-Tusi was 13 years old, Genghis Khan, who was the leader of the Mongols, turned away from his conquests in China and began his rapid advance towards the west. It would not be too long before al-Tusi would see the effects of these conquests on his own regions, but before that happened he was able to study more advanced topics. From Tus, al-Tusi went to Nishapur which is 75 km west of Tus. Nishapur was a good choice for al-Tusi to complete his education since it was an important centre of learning. There al-Tusi studied philosophy, medicine and mathematics. In particular he was taught mathematics by Kamal al-Din ibn Yunus, who himself had been a pupil of Sharaf al-Din al-Tusi. While in Nishapur al-Tusi began to acquire a reputation as an outstanding scholar and became well known throughout the area.
The Mongol invasion reached the area of Tus around 1220 and there was much destruction. Genghis Khan turned his attention again towards the east leaving his generals and sons in the west to continue his conquests. There was, amid the frequent fighting in the region, peaceful havens which attracted al-Tusi. The Assassins, who practised an intellectual form of extremist Shi'ism, controlled the castle of Alamut in the Elburz Mountains, and other similar impregnable forts in the mountains. When invited by the Isma'ili ruler Nasir ad-Din 'Abd ar-Rahim to join the service of the Assassins, al-Tusi accepted and became a highly regarded member of the Isma'ili Court. Whether he would have been able to leave, had he wished to, is not entirely clear. However, al-Tusi did some of his best work while moving round the different strongholds, and during this period he wrote important works on logic, philosophy, mathematics and astronomy. The first of these works, Akhlaq-i nasiri, was written in 1232. It was a work on ethics which al-Tusi dedicated to the Isma'ili ruler Nasir ad-Din 'Abd ar-Rahim.
In 1256 al-Tusi was in the castle of Alamut when it was attacked by the forces of the Mongol leader Hulegu, a grandson of Genghis Khan, who was at that time set on extending Mongol power in Islamic areas. Some claim that al-Tusi betrayed the defences of Alamut to the invading Mongols. Certainly Hulegu's forces destroyed Alamut and, Hulegu himself being himself interested in science, he treated al-Tusi with great respect. It may be that indeed al-Tusi felt that he was being held in Alamut against his will, for certainly he seemed enthusiastic in joining the victorious Mongols who appointed him as their scientific advisor. He was also put in charge of religious affairs and was with the Mongol forces under Hulegu when they attacked Baghdad in 1258.
Al-Musta'sim, the last Abbasid caliph in Baghdad, was a weak leader and he proved no match for Hulegu's Mongol forces when they attacked Baghdad. After having laid siege to the city, the Mongols entered it in February 1258 and al-Musta'sim together with 300 of his officials were murdered. Hulegu had little sympathy with a city after his armies had won a battle, so he burned and plundered the city and killed many of its inhabitants. Certainly al-Tusi had made the right move as far as his own safety was concerned, and he would also profit scientifically by his change of allegiance.
Hulegu was very pleased with his conquest of Baghdad and also pleased that such an eminent scholar as al-Tusi had joined him. So, when al-Tusi presented Hulegu with plans for the construction of a fine Observatory, Hulegu was happy to agree. Hulegu had made Maragheh his capital . Maragheh was in the Azerbaijan region of northwestern Iran, and it was at Maragheh that the Observatory was to be built. Construction of the Observatory began in 1259 west of Maragheh, and traces of it can still be seen there today.
The observatory at Maragheh became operational in 1262. Interestingly the Persians were assisted by Chinese astronomers in the construction and operation of the observatory. It had various instruments such as a 4 metre wall quadrant made from copper and an azimuth quadrant which was the invention of Al-Tusi himself. Al-Tusi also designed other instruments for the Observatory which was far more than a centre for astronomy. It possessed a fine library with books on a wide range of scientific topics, while work on science, mathematics and philosophy were vigorously pursued there.
Al-Tusi put his Observatory to good use, making very accurate tables of planetary movements. He published Zij-i ilkhani (the Ilkhanic Tables), written first in Persian and later translated into Arabic, after making observations for 12 years. This work contains tables for computing the positions of the planets, and it also contains a star catalogue. This was not the only important work which al-Tusi produced in astronomy. It is fair to say that al-Tusi made the most significant development of Ptolemy's model of the planetary system up to the development of the heliocentric model in the time of Copernicus. In al-Tusi's major astronomical treatise, al-Tadhkira fi'ilm al-hay'a (Memoir on astronomy) he [17]:-
... devised a new model of lunar motion, essentially different from Ptolemy's. Abolishing the eccentric and the centre of prosneusis, he founded it exclusively on the principle of eight uniformly rotating spheres and thereby succeeded in representing the irregularities of lunar motion with the same exactness as the "Almagest" Ⓣ. His claim that the maximum difference in longitude between the two theories amounts to 10 proves perfectly true. In his model Nasir, for the first time in the history of astronomy, employed a theorem invented by himself which, 250 years later, occurred again in Copernicus, "De Revolutionibus", III 4.The theorem referred to in this quotation concerns the famous "Tusi-couple" which resolves linear motion into the sum of two circular motions. The aim of al-Tusi with this result was to remove all parts of Ptolemy's system that were not based on the principle of uniform circular motion. Many historians claim that the Tusi-couple result was used by Copernicus after he discovered it in Al-Tusi's work, but not all agree; see for example [38] where it is claimed that Copernicus took the result from Proclus's Commentary on the first book of Euclid and not from al-Tusi.
Among numerous other contributions to astronomy, al-Tusi calculated the value of 51' for the precession of the equinoxes. He also wrote works on astronomical instruments, for example on constructing and using an astrolabe.
In logic al-Tusi followed the teachings of ibn Sina. He wrote five works on the subject, the most important of which is one on inference. In [33] Street describes this as follows:-
Tusi, a thirteenth century logician writing in Arabic, uses two logical connectives to build up molecular propositions: 'if-then', and 'either-or'. By referring to a dichotomous tree, Tusi shows how to choose the proper disjunction relative to the terms in the disjuncts. He also discusses the disjunctive propositions which follow from a conditional proposition.Al-Tusi wrote many commentaries on Greek texts. These included revised Arabic versions of works by Autolycus, Aristarchus, Euclid, Apollonius, Archimedes, Hypsicles, Theodosius, Menelaus and Ptolemy. In particular he wrote a commentary on Menelaus's Spherics (see [41] for details), and Archimedes' On the sphere and cylinder (see [21] for details). In the latter work al-Tusi discussed objections raised by earlier mathematicians to comparing lengths of straight lines and of curved lines. Al-Tusi argues that comparisons are legitimate, despite the objections that, being different entities, they are incomparable.
Ptolemy's Almagest Ⓣ was one of the works which Arabic scientists studied intently. In 1247 al-Tusi wrote Tahrir al-Majisti (Commentary on the Almagest) in which he introduced various trigonometrical techniques to calculate tables of sines; see [5] for details. As in the Zij-i Ilkhahi al-Tusi gave tables of sines with entries calculated to three sexagesimal places for each half degree of the argument.
One of al-Tusi's most important mathematical contributions was the creation of trigonometry as a mathematical discipline in its own right rather than as just a tool for astronomical applications. In Treatise on the quadrilateral al-Tusi gave the first extant exposition of the whole system of plane and spherical trigonometry. As stated in [1]:-
This work is really the first in history on trigonometry as an independent branch of pure mathematics and the first in which all six cases for a right-angled spherical triangle are set forth.This work also contains the famous sine formula for plane triangles:
a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C.Another mathematical contribution was al-Tusi's manuscript, dated 1265, concerning the calculation of n-th roots of an integer; see [6] for details of a copy of this manuscript made in 1413. This work by al-Tusi is almost certainly not original but rather it is his version of methods developed by al-Karaji's school. In the manuscript al-Tusi determined the coefficients of the expansion of a binomial to any power giving the binomial formula and the Pascal triangle relations between binomial coefficients.
We should mention briefly other fields in which al-Tusi contributed. He wrote a famous work on minerals which contains an interesting theory of colour based on mixtures of black and white, and included chapters on jewels and perfumes. He also wrote on medicine, but his medical works are among his least important. Much more important were al-Tusi's contributions to philosophy and ethics. In particular in philosophy he asked important questions on the nature of space.
Al-Tusi had a number of pupils, one of the better known being Nizam al-a'Raj who also wrote a commentary on the Almagest Ⓣ. Another of his pupils Qutb ad-Din ash-Shirazi gave the first satisfactory mathematical explanation of the rainbow. al-Tusi's influence, which continued through these pupils, is summed up in [1] as follows:-
Al-Tusi's influence, especially in eastern Islam, was immense. Probably, if we take all fields into account, he was more responsible for the revival of the Islamic sciences than any other individual. His bringing together so many competent scholars and scientists at Maragheh resulted not only in the revival of mathematics and astronomy but also in the renewal of Islamic philosophy and even theology.

Journalists felt the effect of widespread gang-related violence. The staff of the online news site El Faro faced intimidation after reporting on a criminal network involving businessmen and politicians, and after revealing secret negotiations between the government and gangs. Unidentified individuals followed and photographed El Faro's journalists, Editor Carlos Dada said. Minister of Security David Munguía Payés acknowledged that the outlet was at risk but initially declined to provide any protection. The case also exposed cracks in solidarity among the Salvadoran press as few journalists initially came to the defense of El Faro. Nationwide, murder rates appeared to drop after the government negotiated a gang truce, although some officials suggested disappearances were simultaneously on the rise. Despite pervasive societal violence, the country has not seen widespread killings of journalists. The authorities, who won a conviction in May in the 2011 murder of a cameraman, have a generally good record in combating deadly anti-press violence, CPJ research shows.
Three journalists have been killed since 1992 in direct retaliation for their reporting. Two more have been killed in unclear circumstances and CPJ continues to investigate.
A court found reputed gang member Jonathan Alexander Martínez Castro guilty of the 2011 murder of cameraman Alfredo Antonio Hurtado Núñez. The authorities said gang members targeted Hurtado because of his coverage of police anti-crime operations.
The emergence of El Faro parallels a three-fold rise in Internet penetration over the past five years in the country, according to data from the International Telecommunication Union, or ITU.
El Faro revealed that 30 gang leaders were transferred to lower-security prisons as part of negotiations between the government and criminal gangs. The gang members agreed to ease their murderous practices in exchange for better prison conditions.

When you are in the market for another set or two of design cleans, the chase is on to locate the in vogue scours at moderate rates. Nobody needs to invest a lot of energy or cash hunting down the most proper scours, and when you discover a merchant you can trust, you will find that you get both reasonableness and high style. Not at all like the years past, in vogue clothing in the work environment is a need. You need to put your best self forward in light of the fact that when you look great you feel surprisingly better. However, you additionally would prefer not to hold back on quality or polished skill. As a therapeutic expert, you merit the best. When you feel your best the inclination is passed onto increasingly imperative people – your patients. Looking great is simple with regards to the plentiful number of decisions you have with design scours.
This is the place Tom Ford actual virtuoso appeared. Before he started as Creative Director, the organization was seeing dormant deals and was losing piece of the overall industry. In Fords first year at the Gucci steerage he was credited with returning the marvelousness to mold as a result of the spearheading design patterns he presented, for example, the Halston-style velvet hipsters. By 1999, the house, which had been practically bankrupt when Ford joined, was esteemed at about $4.3 billion. Gucci purchased an enthusiasm for Yves Saint Laurent amid Ford time there, and he was delegated their Creative Director too. Be that as it may, in a surprising unforeseen development Tom Ford left Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent in 2004 after a difference over his agreement. From that point forward Tom Ford has tumbled off of the style business radar… up to this point.

SAN JOSE — An SUV slammed into three relatives crossing a street in front of Parkview Elementary School on Tuesday afternoon, killing a young girl and sending her aunt and toddler sister to the hospital.
The accident happened around 3:24 p.m. when a Lexus SUV plowed into the trio as they crossed Bluefield Drive, just off the campus near Vistapark Drive.
Relatives said Maria Alana Quiroz, 30, was walking with Aileen Quiroz and Arlet Quiroz when they were hit. At the scene afterward, the SUV was stopped about 50 feet from a marked yellow school crossing, with pink painted evidence marks a short distance away.
Aileen, 7, was pronounced dead at the scene. Maria Quiroz was taken to Valley Medical Center with what family members described as critical injuries including broken ribs and a punctured lung. Arlet, 2, wasn't initially believed to be harmed but went to the hospital with a contusion on her head, said Frank Ibarra, a pastor at the family's church who was consoling a large group of relatives who gathered at the home Tuesday night, just a few houses down from the accident scene.
While Oak Grove School District Superintendent Jose Manzo sent a recorded message to parents that indicated it was an "aunt and a sibling of one of our Parkview students" that were hit by the SUV, Juana Maria Quiroz, aunt of the slain girl, said she believed her sister was on the way back from picking up the children from the school when she was struck.
"As adults we can fend for ourselves, but children have no way to protect themselves," she said through a translator. "Maybe my sister tried to protect the little one when they got hit but couldn't protect the other one."
San Jose police spokesman Officer Albert Morales said the driver of the SUV stopped at the scene and is cooperating with police. He said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash. He said an investigation would determine whether the adult male driver was speeding and if criminal charges will be filed.
Relatives of the victims and a host of neighbors said Bluefield Drive is rampant with speeding drivers. Many of the neighborhood streets are loops, but Bluefield can be used to pass through the area and connects to Capitol Expressway.
With tears streaming down her face, Juana Maria Quiroz said they had told school officials that crossing guards are needed in the area. Other residents said there was once a petition drive to ask the city for speed bumps but nothing came of it.
Morales did not immediately know if the area is considered a "hot spot" for speeding but said it would be part of the investigation. He said they have a number of witnesses who were being interviewed Tuesday night.
Eddie Quiroz, 22, said his little cousin Aileen will be greatly missed.
"She was very energetic," he said. "Spunky. Happy all the time, always asking to play. She was just a bundle of joy."

Chris Broad, the controversial cricketer turned ICC Match referee, is
pursuing a dangerous crusade against Asian cricketers. This article
examines his bizarre record as match official.
On November 27, 1987, England's opening batsman Chris Broad was causing
an ugly scene in the middle of Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan.
Broad had just been given out, caught behind off Pakistani spinner
Iqbal Qasim. But he refused to budge from the crease, contending that
he had not edged the ball. He stood his ground, arguing with umpire and
bowler, until being finally dragged off the pitch by captain Mike
Gatting. Broad's dislike for Asians had just gone up a notch.
That ill-tempered tour by England, perhaps the most disreputable ever
in cricket, had also witnessed a disgraceful shouting match on field
between Gatting and Pakistani umpire Shakoor Rana, during which the
England captain was heard repeating, "One rule for one, one for
another," after an appeal for a catch was turned down. Broad must have
decided at that time that he would turn those rules around if he ever
got the chance.
Broad's misbehavior did not stop there. On Jan 30, 1988, in the Sydney
Cricket Ground, Broad was bowled by Aussie part-timer Steve Waugh. With
typical gracelessness befitting his churlish image, he smashed his bat
into stumps in a fit of rage.
Later that same year, struck in front of stumps and given LBW for duck
to legendary fast bowler Malcolm Marshall in Lord's, he mouthed off at
the umpire for a decision he was clearly unhappy with, before dragging
his feet back to the pavilion.
The English selectors had seen enough. Obnoxious Broad was summarily
axed from the team, and his career ended soon afterward.
Match Referee
In December 2003, the ICC made an announcement that shocked cricket
fans. The notorious rule-breaker Chris Broad had been appointed ICC
match referee, and would start officiating in Pakistan's tour of New
Since then, in less than one and a half years, Broad has been referee
in 5 series comprising 12 Tests and 34 ODIs, officiating in matches
involving every side other than his native England: New Zealand,
Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Australia, India, South Africa, Bangladesh, West
Indies, and Pakistan.
During this short time, he has racked up a litany of charges against
players from every major Asian cricket-playing country.
Australia tour of Sri Lanka
On March 26, 2004, the Sri Lankan team found that Chris Broad,
refereeing in his second series, wasn't the most impartial judge in
town. Justin Langer and other surrounding fielders had appealed loudly
for hit-wicket against Tillakaratne. Camera footage had fortuitously
caught what really happened: Langer had, ever so unobtrusively,
disloged the bail with his hand whilst running over after the ball.
Coming soon after another ICC referee, Mike Proctor, had ended the
career of Pakistan captain Rashid Latif with a 5-match ban for unfair
play after Latif had claimed a catch off what appeared to be a bump
ball, it looked like an open-and-shut case to ban Langer for some
substantial number of matches.
But not according to Chris Broad, who unbelievably cleared Langer of
all charges after the Australian claimed that it "was not intentional".
Broad later explained to a dumbfounded Lankan media, "Justin was
disappointed that the charge was brought and explained his position in
a very honest and succinct way. He was, however, reminded that in
future to steer clear of any instances such as this."
And that wasn't bad enough, it was just the beginning.
Two days later, Broad announced that he was reporting Sri Lanka's
legendary spinner Muttiah Muralitharan for chucking. Murali, the most
successful bowler in Test history, had already been cleared after
numerous tests by Aussie experts, and the referee decided to take on
the test results. Cricketing fraternity in Lanka was outraged by
Broad's unilateral decision to report him, despite the fact that ICC
required a report from umpires before the referee could act against a
player, which they had not given him.
Broad, during his stint as a radio commentator when England toured Sri
Lanka in November 2003, had openly criticised Muralitharan's action,
which made it apparent to the Lankans that he was targetting the Lankan
great with referee hat on.
Arjuna Ranatunga, the former Lankan skipper who had led the Lanka team
from the field in Australia after an Aussie umpire no-balled Murali,
made it clear that he believed Broad's report was motivated by racial
Arjuna said that Broad was not only out of order in acting unilaterally
at such a crucial juncture in Muralitharan's career, but also out of
his depth: "The ICC should appoint those who are experienced and have
an impeccable record in such positions. What experience does Broad
have? Look at his background. His actions are a huge let-down to the
ICC's reputation."
Broad was also reported to the ICC by the Sri Lanka Cricket Board for
"boozing" with Australian cricketers in a Colombo bar during the
series, which SLC pointed out was gross misconduct in breach of ICC
Thus was the infamy of Chris Broad born. Murali was persecuted for a
long while before more tests proved that his action was within legal
Harbhajan and Other Asian bowlers
Chris Broad has reported Asian bowlers for throwing an astonishing 5
times in his short 1+ year as referee.
Most outrageous of these have been his dealings with Harbhajan Singh,
the ace Indian offie considered by many to be among the 3 best spinners
in the world after Murali and Shane Warne.
Broad reported Harbhajan Singh for a suspect action in December 2004,
during India's tour of Bangladesh. This was after Harbhajan had already
undergone corrective procedures in England and had been cleared.
Harbhajan was sent back to ICC bowling analysis experts in Australia,
who quickly cleared him based on the ICC's 15% allowable bend law.
No sooner had Harbhajan made a return to Test cricket against Pakistan,
with ICC once again sending the dreaded Broad as referee, did Broad
report him yet again in March this year, despite results of tests
conducted only a few weeks earlier, baffling and outraging most cricket
followers in the subcontinent.
The obnoxious Englishman, now disliked with a passion rivalling Mike
Deness, was by now widely suspected of bias against Asians, often
despite ICC laws rather than because of them.
Last year, Broad also reported Pakistani spinner Mohammad Hafeez and
during the Pakistan tour of Australia, and Pakistani paceman Shabbir
Ahmed during Pakistan tour of New Zealand, thus achieving in one short
year chucking bans on bowlers in all the major subcontinental teams.
For an official with a reputation of reporting bowlers for suspect
action, it is thus highly suspicious that Broad has chosen not to
report Brett Lee, the Australian fast bowler widely suspected of
chucking, among others by Aussie Dennis Lillee. Nor even New Zealand
paceman Kyle Mills, who is acknowledged as a chucker amongst most Kiwi
cricket followers. Broad has overseen several matches involving both of
the above players.
Chris Broad has demonstrated that he does not limit his bizarre crusade
only to suspect actions.
In his short tenure, he has handed out a huge number of fines and bans,
the vast majority of them against Asian cricketers, although he has
officiated in matches involving every country other than England (which
he is not allowed to officiate).
His strike rate for penalties is by far the highest amongst all match
referees, handing out punishments in almost 50% of the matches he has
Of these, he has punished Pakistani captain Inzamam-ul-Haq an amazing
four times in the first four months of 2005, including 100% fines and a
Test ban.
Broad also levied harsh fines on Shoaib Akhtar and Lakshmipathy Balaji
for "excessive appealing". Needless to say, he has never found an
Aussie bowler guilty of this offense, despite the fact that they are
well known to be among the most over-the-top appealers.
He handed out a 70% fine to Indian captain Sourav Ganguly for a slow
over rate in 40+ degree temperatures.
All of the above have come in the short cricket season so far in 2005
-- it's still only mid-April.
Broad's crowning achievement
Chris Broad's proudest moment, however, came when he banned skipper
Ganguly last week for a world-record 6 matches, for the minor offense
of a slightly slow over rate in unbearable 40+ degree conditions when
players were cramping throughout the day during an ODI in Ahmedabad.
This, after England captain Michael Vaughan was fined a paltry 10% for
being fully 5 overs behind in an ODI against SA in February this year,
the second time within 20 days when he was found running behind,
shortly after a 50% fine for being another 5 overs short of target in
late January against the same opponents.
After Darren Lehmann was banned for a total 5 matches after shouting
racial epithets against Sri Lankan players after being dismissed.
Someone needs to tell the ICC that outright racism is not better than
being a couple of overs behind in extremely hot conditions.
Someone also needs to point out to them that Chris Broad's crusade
against Asian players is well documented on their own web site.
This much is obvious: the ICC, by appointing Broad to matches involving
India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, is deliberatly sweeping
aside evidence that shows this loose cannon needs to be reined in, even
rubbing it in by repeatedly forcing him on the subcontinental nations.
Last month, ICC announced that they have renewed Broad's tenure as
match referee for another two years.
It is absolutely critical to cricket that Chris Broad be removed from
ICC's panel of referees immediately, as Mike Deness was before him.
Any other course would divide the cricket-playing countries even more
deeply than they already are.

Oil retention
Lubricating oils, particularly relatively low-viscosity oils, are much more difficult to retain than greases. Therefore, HMS5 or CRW1 spring-loaded radial shaft seals (fig 1 and fig 2) are recommended in order to achieve the necessary radial load and resistance to dynamic runout and shaft-to-bore misalignment for a satisfactory sealing performance.
Standard HMS5 seals have a straight lip while CRW1 seals are designed with SKF WAVE lips to provide improved pumping ability, regardless of the direction of shaft rotation (fig 3). Another way of increasing a seal's pumping ability is to add a helix pattern, i.e. hydrodynamic features, to the sealing lip design.
The rubber outside diameter, like the one found on HMS5 seals, helps compensate for small imperfections in the housing bore surface and is therefore recommended when the required housing bore surface is questionable.
For very tough operating conditions, where circumferential speeds are relatively low, metal face seals, like the HDDF seal (fig 4), can be used for both oil or grease retention.
V-rings (fig 5) may also be used to retain oil, provided they are installed on the oil side and supported axially on the shaft.

Minnesota saved its best performance of the season for the last home game on the schedule.
The Gophers hope this win can carry over into tournament time.
Micaella Riche scored 24 points to help Minnesota beat seventh-ranked Penn State 89-81 on Thursday night, preventing the Lady Lions from clinching the Big Ten regular-season title outright and ending their six-game winning streak.
"It was a great win for our program," coach Pam Borton said.
Maggie Lucas had 23 points for Penn State (23-4, 13-2), which must play at second-place and 20th-ranked Nebraska on Sunday. If the Lions lose, they'll be co-champions with the Huskers, who barely beat 11th-place Wisconsin 55-53 earlier Thursday night to keep the race going.
Rachel Banham scored 23 points and Sari Noga went 6 for 6 from 3-point range to finish with 19 points for the Golden Gophers (17-12, 6-9), who shot 28 for 42 from the floor (66.7 percent). They made 26 of 31 free throws.
Noga's last 3-pointer, an NBA-range rainbow from the top of the key, gave the Gophers their largest margin at 71-58.
"I was on, and I felt it. When I had my open opportunities, I took the shot," Noga said. "And they were going in for me."
The Gophers endured several long instant-replay delays by a meticulous officiating crew and pushed the lead back to double digits on Banham's fast break she ended with a one-handed scoop shot that left her hand at waist level and banked in.
"There wasn't one moment when I didn't feel like our team was focused," Borton said.
Banham won the battle with Lucas of two of the Big Ten's three leading scorers, but Riche reminded everyone she has an offensive game of her own. After going 6 for 18 from the floor in a loss to Purdue last weekend, Riche went 9 for 10. This was her highest point total since scoring 29 in the season opener against Washington State.
The Lions had no remedy for Riche, the conference's second-leading shooter at 52.2 percent entering the night. Meanwhile, the Big Ten's leading 3-point shooting team at 39.7 percent entering the game, the Lions went just 4 for 19. Lucas, a 47.8-percent shooter from behind the arc coming into the night, was 2 for 11.
"It gets tough when you go on losing streaks and stuff, but this can be the beginning of a big one," Riche said.
The Gophers have been struggling to return to the upper level they played at earlier in Borton's tenure. After reaching the Final Four in 2004, the regional semifinals in 2005 and the second round in 2009, they haven't been in the NCAA tournament (or the WNIT) since then. They're 22-41 in Big Ten play over the past four years and are still in eighth place entering the final weekend of the regular season.
This was their season-high in scoring, though, and the 89 points were also the most against Penn State this season. The Lady Lions gave up an average of 57.7 points per conference game entering the night, the second-lowest in the league.
Alex Bentley added 19 points on 8-for-19 shooting, but she fouled out with 2:24 remaining and the Lions trailing 80-74. The Lions weren't ahead until the first minute of the second half when Lucas, the reigning Big Ten Player of the Week, was fouled on the wing by Noga as she swished a 3-pointer.
After falling to the floor, Lucas watched the ball fall in, pumped her arm and yelled in celebration before sinking the free throw for a 40-37 lead.
But the Gophers didn't flinch.
Banham came right back with the same sequence to put her team back in front after the four-point play, sinking a shot from way behind the arc.
The 5-foot-9 sophomore, who entered the night with a Big Ten-best average of 21.2 points per game, soon after turned a steal into a fast break she created by speeding between two Lions defenders and ended with a half-hook layup that drew contact for a three-point play and a 49-42 lead.

Kiefer Sutherland has revealed he's "cautiously optimistic" that filming will begin on the movie adaptation of 24 this spring.
The actor said the script for the big-screen version of the hit series is ready to go, but producers are up against the clock in the hunt for a director.
"We've got a script that we're very excited about, we're looking for directors right now," he said.
Sutherland, who has returned to television with new drama series Touch, said he hopes to shoot the film after shooting on the show's first series wraps.
"We're trying to do this as quickly as possible so we're ready to shoot in May because there's a very small window between when I finish Touch and when I would start up again," he explained.
"So it's a juggling act right now, but I'm still cautiously optimistic."
:: Kiefer Sutherland's new TV drama Touch will launch on Sky 1 and Sky 1 HD later this month.

In the male reproductive system, the epididymis is a tiny coiled tube that stores, matures, and carries sperm. There are two of them. Each sits on top of the testicles and connects them to the vas deferens. The vas deferens carries sperm to the urethra, through which sperm in semen exit the penis.
Epididymitis is an inflammation or infection of the epididymis.
Among children, teens are most commonly affected by epididymitis. Because epididymitis is usually caused by a sexually transmitted disease (STD), it's primarily seen in males between ages 14 and 35. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are the two main STDs responsible for epididymitis.
Epididymitis can be seen in younger children, too. In those instances, it is usually linked to a urinary tract infection caused by the E. coli bacteria.
Epididymitis usually has symptoms early on. Here are symptoms of condition:
Pain and swelling in the testicles
Feeling of heaviness in the testicles
Discharge from the urethra
Blood in the semen
Lump in the testicles
Pain during urination or ejaculation
If your child has these symptoms, his health care provider will do a physical exam, and may also order blood and urine tests. The doctor may order scans of the testicular region to determine the cause of the pain and swelling. Tests to look for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and other bacteria are often done, too, depending on your son's age.
Epididymitis is almost always caused by a bacterial infection, so antibiotics are the first line of treatment. The doctor may also prescribe pain and anti-inflammatory medicine, depending on the severity of the condition.
If symptoms don't improve within 48 hours of treatment, the doctor may want to re-examine your child. If symptoms don't clear up within three days, he will likely be checked for other conditions.
If the epididymitis was caused by an STD, any sexual partners within the 60 days before symptoms appeared should be notified, so they can be treated. A sexually active teen and his partner should not have sex until both have been treated and no longer have symptoms.
Epididymitis is usually sexually transmitted, so practicing safe sex is the way to prevent it. Safe sex includes having using condoms during sex and not having more than one sex partner. To prevent any problems that can come from epididymitis, it's important to see your child's health care provider as soon as any symptoms appear.
Talk with your son's health care provider about other steps to help relieve the pain and swelling of epididymitis, such as elevating the scrotum and using ice. Bed rest whenever possible may also help.

Lavera's Orange Sea Buckthorn products are the perfect summer cocktail for your skin! Why is Sea Buckthorn such a power house in the skin care industry right now? When it comes to vitamin C, sea buckthorn has about 16 times as much of this nutrient as kiwis. Not only does vitamin C protect your skin from the ravages of free radicals, it also plays a role in collagen production. This fruit is also loaded with vitamin A & E. These three antioxidants combined help to fight those dreaded wrinkles and play an important role in shedding the dead surface skin cells.
Sea Buckthorn also contains EFA (essential fatty acids), these natural lubricants that help your skin maintain a natural balance.
Using the Sea Buckthorn products is a great way to kick your summer into high gear and maintain the perfect balance of collagen production and moisture retention. Lavera isn't the only one that stands behind Sea Buckthorn, even Dr. Oz LOVES his Sea Buckthorn. The incredibly high antioxidant properties of the sea buckthorn berry, along with its anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties and its ability to be immune-supportive, make this an outstanding oil to improve total body wellness. The oil used from the sea buckthorn has even been used to reduce the risk of radiation burns for Russian astronauts working in space. Read the full blog article on Dr. Oz's website about additional benefits of the sea buckthorn.
The sea buckthorn berry, which is native to Europe and Asia has also been recently featured on the June 2nd segment of "The Dr. Oz Show," in which the health benefits of this berry were explored. Dr. Oz noted that sea buckthorn oil can keep the skin young and beautiful as a moisturizer for the face and body. Sea buckthorn provids more protection and nutrition to the skin due to it's high levels of free fatty acids, phytosterol, phosphatide, vitamins E and A, and carotenoids. The free fatty acids is easily absorbed by the skin keeping it slightly acidic which helps to fight infection. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid promote repair of tissue damage. Phosphatide, hydrocarbon and phosphatide forms a protective film to prevent excessive moisture loss. Sitosterol improves mirco-circulation in the skin. Sea buckthorn softens and lubricates the skin and keep it smooth and fair.
With this in mind, we created a collection of Lavera's Orange Sea-Buckthorn products together as our new Spa Package. Designed specifically for rejuvenating and nourishing your skin with high concentrations of antioxidants; vitamins A, C and E from the sea buckthorn berry. This Spa Package includes one each of the following Orange Sea-Buckthorn products:

The University of Toronto and IBM are building Canada's most powerful supercomputer, a mammoth machine that will need its own building for storage and will be capable of performing 360 trillion calculations per second.
It's expected the system will be among the top 20 fastest supercomputers in the world and the largest outside the United States. It will be able to store data equivalent to that held by one million regular DVDs.
The entire budget of the project, which includes construction and operating costs, is just under C$50 million ($47 million) over five years.
Its power is roughly equivalent to "30,000 to 40,000 home computers linked together," said Chris Pratt, strategic initiatives executive at IBM Canada.
"The kind of interconnect between parts of the system will allow the equivalent of two full-length feature DVD movies to be moved around in the space of a second," he said.
It will be a big boost to scientists at the University of Toronto and its associated research hospitals, as it will help tackle projects in an array of areas from aerospace and astrophysics to climate change prediction and medical imaging.
Among the research, the system will be used to explore the modern scientific mystery of why matter has mass and what constitutes the mass of the universe.
Funding is being provided by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, in partnership with the province of Ontario and the university.
Building the supercomputer will involve the largest implementation of IBM's iDataPlex system, which holds twice as many processors per unit as standard systems and is entirely water-cooled. More than 4,000 servers will be linked together.
"Every aspect of the system has been put together to be the most powerful and yet the most energy-efficient," Pratt said.
A data center will be built just north of Toronto. Installation will begin in the autumn and it's expected the supercomputer will be fully operational by next summer.

32 Dental Clinic & Implant Centre offered in a variety of denture styles that include full and partial dentures. Experienced dentists will help you find the best match for your needs.
Complete Dentures:
Each affiliated 32 Dental Clinic & Implant Centre practice wants you to have the best denture you can afford. That's why we offer several styles of full dentures, each with its own distinct advantages.
1. Economy Dentures: The Economy Denture is the most affordable denture and is selected by many patients. It is processed by our on-site lab and individually fit for you. The dentist and lab technician will determine the size, shape and look of the teeth, based on your needs. The Economy Denture is available with same-day service.
2. Custom Dentures: The Custom Denture is made with more expensive teeth for a more natural-looking denture. The denture teeth are set in a wax base so you may try them in to see how the denture will look before it is completed. You may make changes to suit you, consistent with your dental needs. After you have approved the look of your Custom Denture, the lab will custom finish your denture in the permanent acrylic base material. It's like designing your own smile! The Custom Denture is often available the same day, however in some cases it may take longer. The practice will inform you of their delivery times.
3. Deluxe Dentures: Our Deluxe Denture is made using deluxe-quality denture teeth and offers a high level of durability, stain resistance and a natural look. This denture allows for more customization to achieve a natural look. Like the Custom Denture, it includes a try-in preview that allows you to approve the general characteristics of your new smile before it is permanently set. The Deluxe Denture is often available the same day, however, in some cases it may take longer. The practice will inform you of their delivery times. The Deluxe Denture is available only in participating practices. Please review the individual practice's fee schedule or call to confirm availability.
4. Premium Dentures: The Premium Denture is very high in natural appearance. It is made using premium-quality denture teeth, which are impact, wear and stain resistant. As with the Custom and Deluxe Dentures, the teeth are first set in wax for you to try in. Changes may be made at that time. After you have approved the look of your Premium Denture, the lab will custom finish your denture in the permanent acrylic base material. Again, it�s like designing your own smile. The Premium Denture is often available the same day, however, in some cases it may take longer. The practice will inform you of their delivery times.
5. Ultra Dentures: The Ultra Denture is made using three-layered, high-density, "portrait quality" denture teeth, which provide the highest natural appearance. Our Ultra Denture also offers the highest level of durability and stain resistance, and we use a leading acrylic gum base for strength, durability and visual appeal. As with the Premium Denture, a try-in preview allows you to see your new smile before it is custom finished. Ultra Denture delivery may be the next day to allow for additional finish time. The Ultra Denture is available in participating practices.
Partial Dentures:
We offer several types of partial dentures - cast metal, flexible and acrylic. The cast metal and flexible partials are our best partials. Please check with the practice nearest you to learn which partials they provide.
1. Cast Metal Partial Denture: The cast metal partial denture is stronger, less bulky and offers a great fit. This partial has a metal framework to which our on-site laboratory will attach higher-quality denture teeth. Since our special metal framework is made by an outside laboratory, availability of this partial is about two to three weeks.
2. Flexible Partial: The flexible partial is made from a special material that gives you added comfort and fit. It is only available in participating practices.
3. Acrylic Partial Denture: Acrylic partial dentures are more affordable, but they tend to feel more bulky. This partial has an acrylic base into which the denture teeth are set and is attached to your natural teeth with small metal clasps. The acrylic partial may be available with more durable, natural-looking teeth, right up to the Ultra partial. The practice staff can inform you of availability in each office. The acrylic partial denture is often available the same day.

Front Yard Landscaping Ramsey Mn
Landscaping Companies Ramsey Mn
The methods of landscaping steep slopes and hillsides must simply address creative ways to hold the property in place. And while designs may vary depending on location, materials, and other circumstances, the basics are pretty much the same for most. Some basic methods will hold or simply cover the soil and others will be more elaborate and dependent on other principles
For instance in Ramsey Mn , if deep rooted ground cover plants are used without any retaining walls or support, the method of watering will need to be adjusted much different than that of flat or terraced ground. So the survival of ground cover plants and lawns on hills and steep grades will also require different considerations for proper watering.

Choosing the Best Landscape compny Service ProviderNothing reminds us that spring is coming more than digging out the potting soil, the rusted tools, and clay pots. For me it involves cleaning the refuse out of my vegetable garden from the previous year, opening up the deer fencing, and bringing on the roto-tiller. Like many things in life, the process is often more important than the final product. In the end, after planting watering and tending, dozens of vegetable plants and seeds over the course of the summer, if the bugs, the weeds, and the weather let us have a few to ourselves we are truly happy.A few years back I had a most unusual request come across my table. A husband and wife who are friends of mine had 2 different needs. She wanted a potting shed. He wanted a wood shed. Neither of them wanted to clutter their bucolic setting with too many little outbuildings. Our solution was to combine the two functions. Their home and farm is located in a beautiful hamlet with a carpenter gothic church and many homes dating from the 1800s or before. The edifice they ask me to design was to define the line between her space-the flower garden and his space-the barn. The barn area was often quite busy and chaotic with his potato crop, and farm equipment. Her garden was equally in flux with new designs and beautiful assortments of flowers and fauna. With my friends help, I designed a carpenter gothic, potting and wood shed. From the barn you see the wood shed; from the house you see the garden and a potting shed. He can walk through the middle of the potting shed to reach the wood on a cold winters evening. She can easily reach her tools in the potting shed from the garden. I particularly love the fact that a small building I designed has joined this hamlet as a working participant of farm and home life.I think many of us have forgotten how powerful a modest structure can be in the landscape. Eighteenth and nineteenth century southern plantations almost always kept their pigeons or doves in pigeonniers or dovecotes. These small structures were utilitarian, but punctuated and emphasized the larger structures they were near. We design tool sheds, potting sheds, and generator enclosures (and all other buildings) to fit in with their environment and to complement the existing architecture. Garden structures create the feeling of a compound even though as buildings they themselves are quite modest. Because their presence in the landscape can enhance all else, their design deserves just as much attention as their larger cousins.

While the majority of elements discussed here focus on the erosion control and planting of hills and sharp grades, there are also other elements that may need consideration. In some instances, access may be necessary up and down the side of the lot and so of course there will be a need for stairs or steps. This directory has a lot of great ideas and pictures of stairs and steps that can be used in landscaping and garden.

| 8.2°C Dublin
FORMER News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks and her racehorse trainer husband Charlie today made their first appearance in court on charges relating to the phone hacking scandal.
Mrs Brooks, 44, of Churchill, Oxfordshire, and her husband Charlie, 49, were bailed to appear for a preliminary hearing at Southwark Crown Court on June 22.
Mrs Brooks, who passed through security without having to queue at Westminster Magistrates' Court, faces three charges of conspiring to pervert the course of justice, while her husband is charged with one count of the same offence.
She is accused of removing boxes of material from the News International archive and trying to conceal documents, computers and other material from Operation Weeting, Scotland Yard's inquiry into the phone hacking scandal.
Also appearing at the court today were Mrs Brooks' former personal assistant Cheryl Carter, 48, of Mildmay Road, Chelmsford, Essex; head of security at News International Mark Hanna, 49, of Glynswood Road, Buckingham, Buckinghamshire; Mrs Brooks' chauffeur Paul Edwards, 47, of Victoria Park Square, Bethnal Green, east London; and security consultant Daryl Jorsling, 39, of Vale Road, Aldershot, Hampshire.
They all face a single charge of conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
Mrs Brooks was wearing a navy jacket and skirt and a green scarf, and sat between her husband and Ms Carter.
District Judge Howard Riddle told the defendants: "Your case is sent for trial at Southwark Crown Court and the first hearing will be on June 22.
"You should be there no later than 9.30am. If you do not turn up on time you commit an offence and lose your bail, and in some circumstances the trial could continue in your absence."
Mrs Brooks became editor of the News of the World in 2000 at the age of 31.
In 2003 she became the first woman to edit the Sun and in 2009 was made chief executive at News International. She resigned from that role in July last year.
Arriving at Westminster Magistrates' Court today, Mrs Brooks and her husband were greeted by a large number of photographers, television cameras and curious onlookers.
None of the defendants at today's hearing has yet entered pleas. If found guilty they could face prison.

Cardinals' Alex Okafor Placed on Injured Reserve with Torn Bicep
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have placed rookie linebacker Alex Okafor on injured reserve with a torn bicep.
The outside linebacker is done for the season, the third injury at the position for the team stemming from last Sunday's loss at New Orleans. Arizona lost starting outside linebackers Sam Acho (broken leg) and Lorenzo Alexander (foot injury), who were placed on injured reserve Monday.
The Cardinals elevated linebacker Kenny Demens from the practice squad. Okafor, a fourth-round draft pick out of Texas, said in a tweet on Tuesday that he would be back next year "stronger than ever." The Cardinals are practicing in Bradenton this week in preparation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

dlstpete brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 86 Designs von 30 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I need a logo that will inspire and brand a site dedicated to driving art sales for lesser known artists in the Tampa Bay area. As an up and coming creative city, there are some wonderful artists in our area. I am hoping to use my tech skills to expose them to the internet.
**I appreciate all of the submissions, they are looking great. I am giving feedback and eliminating items as I go to give a clear example of the ones that are in the running.**
The focus of this site is all on the art. I am working on creating a minimal design with just enough elements to feature the art. In lieu of your typical shopping cart, I am creating a gallery style site with buy it now buttons that load a slick ajax interface for checkout offerred by e-junkie.
My vision for the site is an IKEA catalog page, highlighting the art in a gallery and pseudo living room, office, etc. as well as a large image gallery.
Due to this minimal design focused on all art, I need a logo that is memorable and creates a call for action. Buy Tampa Bay Art is the site and the idea. I plan to use the logo in print marketing and possibly clothing to spread the message.
There is a page up right now, but PLEASE DON'T go by it. I have played with multiple designs, layouts, colors, etc and have not been satisfied.
Sorry for the low contest amount, but this is more of a hobby. I will be charging a commission of 10%, but 3% goes to transaction fees. I'll be doing all site design, data entry, marketing on my own with the help of my wonderful fiancee and I'll still be in the red for quite some time....

4:20 above Hippie Hill in California on 4/20
This coming Saturday is Earth Day, which doesn't usually mean that much, except this year we have another massive anti-Trump protest scheduled.
The 'March for Science' Is Actually a Threat to Science Itself
Here are some people who don't think it's a good idea for scientists to be identified as "partisan hacks."
Scholars in the fields of biology, ethics, environment, and economics attacked the upcoming "March for Science," scheduled for Earth Day this coming Saturday, as a threat to the public appreciation of science. They argued that a politicization of science following the rhetoric of the "Women's March" against President Donald Trump would be disastrous.
"When they behave like partisan hacks in the name of science, they politicize science and undermine trust in science," Marlo Lewis, Senior Fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), declared at a Heritage Foundation event on Wednesday. "When you use your expertise as a license to regulate others and tax others ... ordinary people are going to get very skeptical, not only about your expertise but about your motives."
But there's more...
Not only do political stunts like the "March for Science" politicize the discipline of studying nature, they also arguably undercut the very process by which science operates — open debate about how to interpret the evidence. When tied to absurd causes like giving legal rights to rivers and asking if peas should be considered persons, they further tarnish science's reputation.
Yes: Rights for rivers, peas being called persons, and even dignity for plants are all real initiatives. And they call climate change skeptics "anti-science" ...
Does this count as a meme? It's one of my favorites from the 2016 election:
Another fave:
UC Berkeley has reversed itself and announced that conservative author and columnist Ann Coulter can speak on campus.
Except, Coulter won't be able to speak on April 27th as originally planned by College Republicans, but rather on May 2. And she must speak in the middle of the afternoon. And only students can attend. And the location of Coulter's speech won't be announced until the last minute.
And can you believe this bullcrap?
But on Thursday, the university said it had found a venue where it could hold the speech on May 2, instead of the original April 27 date. However, a leader of the college Republican group that originally invited Coulter said the university was placing strict conditions on the event, and he said his group intended to reject the new terms.
Before the reversal was announced, Coulter had vowed to go ahead with an appearance anyway.
That probably would have put security officials on high alert and might have sparked another showdown in struggles over campus safety, student views and ideological openness.
"What are they going to do? Arrest me?" she said late Wednesday on the Fox News show "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
Coulter said she "called their bluff" by agreeing to rules set by the university seeking to prevent violence.
Coulter said in an email to The Washington Post on Wednesday that the university had been trying to force her to cancel her speech by "imposing ridiculous demands" on her but that she still agreed "to all of their silly requirements." She said she believes that her speech "has been unconstitutionally banned" by the "public, taxpayer-supported UC-Berkeley."
Coulter said the university insisted that her speech take place in the middle of the day, that only students could attend and that the exact venue wouldn't be announced until the last minute. She said that she agreed with the conditions but that apparently wasn't good enough.
Now, Berkeley has reversed itself and will allow Coulter to speak. But it raises serious questions about the university's commitment to free speech. What has changed from yesterday to today about the "potential for violence"? And if they have satisfied themselves that they are doing everything possible to keep people safe, why couldn't they have done this before the firestorm broke over their cancellation of Coulter's talk?
What this has done, of course, is to throw down a gauntlet to the leftists and anarchists who are responsible for all the violence to begin with. Now, they will redouble their efforts to disrupt Coulter's address and create as much mayhem as possible. I fear for the safety of Coulter and her supporters with radical, violent leftists confronting police who are urged to show "restraint."
What good that will do in the face of a violent mob is unclear.
Here is PJ Media's Media National Security correspondent Patrick Poole reporting live from Egypt on the Paris terror attack:
The New York Times backs off on the Patriots tweet:
Michael, oh yeah, I understand about hat etiquette, although I'd more likely pick a John Wayne or Gary Cooper movie.
Charlie: This clip -- the famous opening scene of the 1932 version of Scarface, illustrates what I mean by hat etiquette. Note that Big Louis and his men are hatless in the restaurant (although the Boss is wearing a paper crown), but that Tony Camonte most definitely is not:
If only Big Louis had noticed Tony was wearing a hat, he might have realized -- too late! -- that the old order was about to changeth...
Re: Paris shooting
The first round of presidential voting is three days away with an extraordinarily tight four-way race. Many observers will make the obvious point that a terror attack in the heart of Paris will favor the clear anti-terrorism candidate Marine Le Pen of the National Front.
But the French, who have been the target of several recent attacks, may have become somewhat inured to terrorism -- at least as a political issue. While the candidates dwell on immigration and terrorism, the French voter is far more concerned with the economy and unemployment.
The polls say that the number of "undecided" voters is historically high with some surveys showing up to a third of the electorate still considering their choice. A terrorist attack on the police may move some undecided voters -- not necessarily all of them -- toward Le Pen, but odds are that on election day, April 23, it will be a race to the wire to see which two candidates will move on to the runoff election in May.

Top Android Horror Games To Play For Halloween
As far as I'm concerned, Halloween started two months ago. While it may just be one day in October, there's just nothing like getting into the Halloween spirit. That said, there's a good chance that you're not throwing Salami on cars hoods on Devil's Night or going trick or treating anymore. To ease the pain of this harsh reality, we've put together some of the best (and some random) horror games for Android. Take a look!
We know there are a lot of games in this genre for Android, so be sure to sound off in the comments below if we don't mention your favorite!
In no particular order:
Into The Dead
Into The Dead launched back in April for Android and is definitely worth a look. Like a good chunk of horror games available for the OS, Into The Dead features hordes of the undead that you must kill and evade. The gameplay, however, is a bit different from something like Dead Trigger. The title has you running constantly, weaving in between zombies and dispatching them when you can. Easy to pick up and hard to put down, Into The Dead will give you some great first-person chills.
Download Into The Dead From The Google Play Store Here!
Dark Meadow: The Pact
This title is an oldie but goodie. The survival horror title puts you in the middle of a dark and rundown hospital, where you must fight off demons and unfold the mystery to destroy the witch that put your here.
The story alone, which is often rather funny, is interesting enough to give this a try, but the gameplay and graphics (optimized for Tegra 3) are definitely a perk. Come for the story, stay for the action.
Download Dark Meadow: The Pact from the Google Play Store here!
Slender Man Chapter 1 Free
Oh, Slender Man. The over the top and ridiculous urban myth that appeared in 2009 has taken on a life of its own. Search "Slender" in the Google Play Store and you'll be greeted by a TON of Slender Man related titles. This title is nothing special, but does feature better graphics than a majority of the rest. The game has you running around in the middle of the woods, searching to find children's drawings and avoiding the monster … If he finds you at all. This is the lite version of the game that offers up the first chapter, but there is a paid version available as well.
If you really have some time on your hands, might we suggest you check out Marble Hornets' long-running Slender Man webseries on YouTube here.
Download Slender-Man Chapter 1 from the Google Play Store here!
The Abandoned School
The Abandoned School is a click-through game that offers up creepy imagery. It's not the most intuitive game, as you'll find yourself clicking everything on the screen. The scenes can be very dark, in which you may have to wait for lightning to illuminate what you need to click. Still, this to-the-point title is worth a mention, even if it's just to try out.
Download The Abandoned School from the Google Play Store here!
Eyes: The Horror Game
This is a title that will give you the creeps in the best way ever. Eyes: The Horror Game is an indie game that will have you searching through an old abandoned house for valuables. Only, the house isn't exactly abandoned. There are ghosts throughout the game and you'll need to run away from them on sight. There are also eyes on the walls and other places that you must collect. You'll just have to figure out what they do for yourself.
Download Eyes: The Horror Game from the Google Play Store here!
Dead Trigger
If you haven't played Dead Trigger yet, there might be something wrong with you. Dead Trigger is easily one of the most fun Zombie games around for Android. There are a ton of missions to go through, and you'll be knocking off zombies like a pro in this post apocalyptic title. There's even a Halloween portion to play, too! While the game is fun no matter what device you're using, the NVIDIA Shield owns with Dead Trigger.
Download Dead Trigger from the Google Play Store here!
There are a ton of games for Android that will get you into the Halloween spirit. Some games that aren't above but are definitely worth a mention are Dead Space, the Mystique series (The Child, Obitus), Murder Room, Stupid Zombies 2, and more!
Of course, we also can't forget Chunky: Slash and Dash that's set to launch very soon, too!

Day's Worst: J.Lo achieves a new low with birthday show for Turkmenistan president
One of her former relationships coined the term "Bennifer." But Jennifer Lopez's latest pairing might be called "Turkmennifer."
The American pop star is getting tons of flack over her appearance Saturday at a Caspian Sea resort in Turkmenistan to celebrate the 56th birthday of the country's president, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov.
Turkmenistan is regarded as having one of the worst human rights records in the world, and the country suppresses political opposition and heavily controls media outlets. It also discriminates against non-Turkmen ethnic minorities such as Russians and Uzbeks.
