Castroneves Examines An Emotional 2009 Season
December 4, 2009
In the final installment of 2009 season diaries from the Penske Racing IndyCar Series drivers, Helio Castroneves talks about a challenging and rewarding season both personally and professionally behind the wheel of the No. 3 Team Penske Dallara/Honda.
By Helio Castroneves
What a year for Team Penske. We had our ups and downs, but all in all I think it was a great season.
Personally, the year started out under unusual circumstances. It was certainly a difficult time for me and my family, and when you add to that the fact that I was not able to compete in St. Petersburg (I missed my first race in 10 years with Team Penske) it really made things tough.
I'm so thankful everything turned out the way it did, and that I was able to come back and drive the No. 3 Team Penske car for the rest of the season.
Returning to the cockpit at Long Beach will be one of my most memorable racing moments. It felt so good to be back in the car after such a long off-season. My team was incredibly supportive of me, which was fantastic, and the fan support I got was just overwhelming and helped me get through the entire experience.
As far as the season goes, I think we had a lot of success. I was able to capture my third Indianapolis 500 victory, which was Penske Racing's record 15th win at the Brickyard. The entire month was like a dream -- we won the pole and the Pit Stop Competition leading into Memorial Day Weekend and capped it all off with a win - truly an amazing performance by everyone at Team Penske.
It's amazing to me to think that next year I could earn my fourth win at the Indy 500 - that would be an incredible achievement for me, and clearly one of my main goals for 2010.
After May, the rest of the season was decent. We earned a win at Texas Motor Speedway, which marked my third at the track, and were able to earn seven top-five and 10 top-10 finishes.
I'm obviously disappointed I wasn't fighting for the championship in Homestead; that's certainly what a driver is always trying to accomplish. But at least my teammate, Ryan Briscoe, was there at the end with a shot to bring Team Penske a title. Overall, I thought the season proved to be an exciting one for our series - we had three guys going into the final lap of the season to decide the champion, which is always great for the fans.
And while I may have had a few disappointing results there in the final events, one thing that made my season unforgettable is the fact that I'm going to be a father soon. During the summer, we found out that my beautiful girlfriend, Adriana, is pregnant and we're expecting a baby girl in January. I am so excited to be a dad; it's truly been the most exciting news. Knowing that I'm going to have a little daughter makes all of the past year's difficulties a little easier to accept.
I learned a lot in 2009 both personally and professionally and I'm really looking forward to the off-season to relax and re-charge. We'll take everything we learned this past season and use it as we prepare for 2010. I know that with hard work, Team Penske can achieve the results we're looking for next year.

A creamy sauce with a big bite to it is tossed with pasta, chicken and walnuts to make up this rich and delicious pasta dish.
Gorgonzola is an Italian blue cheese with a strong flavor and smell. It is made from cow's or sheep's milk in the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of Northern Italy. It is aged three – six months to produce a variety of results. Three months produces a sweet, creamy cheese, perfect for spreading on crackers or using in dips. Four months time gives a firmer texture and a smellier aroma. And Gorgonzola aged for six months has a crumbly and dry texture with an extreme bite, and is used often in salads.
For this pasta I used a creamy version. It melts nicely into a smooth, satiny sauce with a distinctly tangy bite and a smoky note. The same pan the bacon is fried in is used to make the sauce picking up the frond from the bottom. Even though the Gorgonzola is the overpowering flavor bits of sweetness from the vidalia onion and warm, spicy nutmeg come through, tinged with the saltiness from the bacon and crunchy walnuts. It's a wonderful palette of flavors and textures. A true delight for your taste buds.
Gorgonzola Pasta
(by Reeni)
2 chicken breast, pounded thin
salt and pepper
6 slices bacon
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons brown sugar
8 ounces Pasta
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon thyme, dried
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
8 ounces Gorgonzola. rough chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/3 cup walnut pieces
Parmesan for serving
Bake or grill the chicken seasoned with salt and pepper until cooked through.
In a large saute pan fry the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels, set aside to cool, crumble into large pieces when cool enough to handle. Let the grease cool down, and drain. In the same pan add a tablespoon of olive oil and the onions. Add the brown sugar and season with salt and pepper. Saute until soft.
Cook your pasta to al dente according to package directions.
Add the milk, thyme, and nutmeg to the onion. Bring to a slow boil, add the cheese and parsley, simmer until cheese is melted and sauce starts to thicken, stirring constantly. Smash the cheese to help it melt if needed. Turn off heat. Add the drained pasta and toss to coat.
Slice the chicken breasts. Serve the pasta topped with sliced chicken, crumbled bacon, walnuts and fresh Parmesan.

Joppa Hill hopes to reach new lease agreement
By KATHY REMILLARD
Union Leader Correspondent
BEDFORD - Attorneys for the Educational Farm at Joppa Hill and the town have gone back to the table in an attempt to reach an agreement concerning its lease.
The town has begun proceedings to evict the farm if it does not agree to make repairs to its barn, which the town deems unsafe.
The town issued breach of lease documents to the farm last week, which asserted that the EFJH failed to maintain the barn in accordance with the lease, didn't begin repairs "expeditiously and with diligence," entered into sublease agreements with individuals or organizations and exposed the public to safety risks that could also impact the town's insurance rates.
The lease is set to terminate on March 8, but according to EFJH Board President Michael Scanlon, the two sides are making one final attempt to reach an agreement.
"We believe the structure is repairable," he said. "Our desire is to work with the town to come up with an agreement that is acceptable to both parties."
Of particular issue is the removal of ceiling tiles, which are believed to contain asbestos.
The town has agreed to spearhead the removal of the tiles, at which point the farm would decide whether it wants to proceed with the remainder of the renovations, said Town Manager Jessie Levine.
"The lawyers are talking at this point," Levine said, adding that the 30-day time frame the farm was given to remedy the situation remains in effect.
"We want to be a good negotiating partner and have these conversations in good faith, but some of these feel like a do-over," she said.
Scanlon said the new proposed agreement includes a longer time frame for the barn to be repaired. The town had given a 150-day deadline for the repairs to be completed, which Scanlon said was not enough time.
Scanlon said the farm has enough money to repair the building, and is expecting an agreement to be finalized this week.
"There has been some discussion," Scanlon said. "I think the agreement accomplishes what both sides wanted to accomplish."
Scanlon said should this agreement fall through, the farm is prepared to fight an eviction by the town.
"We would vigorously defend ourselves," he said. "We're fully confident that we have a valid lease with the town."

Press Release
From: Lockheed Martin Corporation
Posted: Friday, August 5, 2011
NASA's Juno spacecraft, designed and built by Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), was successfully launched this morning from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 12:25 p.m. EDT aboard an Atlas V 551 rocket provided by United Launch Alliance.
Five minutes after separation from the Centaur upper stage, the Juno spacecraft deployed its three large solar arrays and started producing power. Initial contact with the spacecraft was obtained by the mission's Flight Operations team at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company's facility near Denver.
"Early telemetry from the spacecraft indicated that all major subsystems are healthy," said Tim Gasparrini, Juno spacecraft program manager at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. "Launch and initial acquisition is the first of our critical events, and they couldn't have gone smoother. Our team is thrilled that we're on our way to Jupiter to help NASA and the science community understand the origins of our solar system."
Scheduled to arrive at Jupiter in July 2016, the spacecraft will spend a little more than a year orbiting over the poles of the gas giant while studying the planet's origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere.
"Today's successful launch is a direct reflection of the dedication and hard work the entire Juno team has given to this program over the past six years," said Jim Crocker, vice president and general manager of Sensing and Exploration Systems at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. "Our team and I are extremely proud to deliver mission success for such longstanding customers as NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory."
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the Juno mission for the principal investigator, Scott Bolton, of Southwest Research Institute at San Antonio. The Juno mission is part of the New Frontiers Program managed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, is building the spacecraft. The Italian Space Agency in Rome is contributing an infrared spectrometer instrument and a portion of the radio science experiment. Launch management for the mission is the responsibility of NASA's Launch Services Program at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 126,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation's 2010 sales from continuing operations were $45.8 billion.

As Stockton went broke, it eliminated virtually all city tree personnel but a chainsaw. Still, good things are budding for Stockton's 135,000 city trees.
As Stockton went broke, it eliminated virtually all city tree personnel but a chainsaw. Still, good things are budding for Stockton's 135,000 city trees.
Tree lovers held a second annual seminar, "Tree Talk 2," last week at a midtown church. Around 65 people learned about the urban forest and efforts to save it.
"We wanted to show some progress and not just meet again and whine," said Jeff Gamboni, a member of Stockton Beautiful.
If we wanted to whine, we could. The urban forest is dying of old age, mistletoe, blights, lack of regular maintenance. The insolvent city can do little.
Stockton without trees would be as ugly as a Tasmanian blobfish.
The good news:
� Stockton Beautiful contributed to replacing the dying trees at the Stockton Ballpark with deep red Arapaho crape myrtles.
� University of the Pacific chipped in to pay for a block-long green median coming soon to Pacific Avenue near the campus. It'll have zelkova and tristania trees, shrubs and flowering groundcover.
� The city secured grant money for another woodsy median on Pacific at Harding Way. Both spots will bear Miracle Mile entrance signs. Construction starts in days.
� A Neighborhood Watch Group (!), aided by Pacific students, planted nine trees at deforested Caldwell Park.
Caldwell Village Neighborhood Watch captain Tiffany Precissi used social media, email and old-fashioned canvassing to raise money and to recruit.
"There were trees that had been in the park that had been removed for various reasons," Precissi said. "They never got replanted. So we took the initiative. We raised the money through donations and we did it. We made it happen."
They did it on Love Stockton Day, dedicated to civic volunteerism. A group of Pacific students joined, not only in the planting, but in painting benches, tables and bathrooms.
"I really enjoyed it," said Jen Cavagnaro, a graduate student. "I felt like I was giving back. I can come back and look at these trees I planted and feel like I'm part of something big."
At the symposium, Karrie Reid, a horticulture advisor with the UC Cooperative Extension, said how to battle the black plague of Stockton trees, mistletoe.
"The best thing they can do - the easiest thing - is to cut it out as soon as you see it," Reid advised. "Cut it off flush with the branch. Don't leave anything sticking above the bark."
Hack the mistletoe a couple years running because its root-like "hyphae" (pronounced hyphy, like the Oakland hip-hop sub-genre) gets pretty established under the bark.
But don't saw off the branch unless the limb is dead, Reid cautioned: "People just willy-nilly cutting off branches and leaving big stubs, that's not a good thing,"
� The city also got a grant to inventory roughly half its urban forest.
"The city has never had a really good inventory of all its trees," said Colt Esenwein, acting deputy public works director of operations and maintenance.
Now, crews with Davey Resource Group, a national urban forest consultancy, are tramping about counting trees, tabulating their genus and species, their health, even GPS-locating them.
"It's difficult for us to plan for the future of our urban forest if we don't have a good idea what we have and what condition it's in," Esenwein said, adding the ultimate goal is "a good computer-based management system."
� Finally - at long last - the El Dorado Street widening project has started up again.
Public outcry halted it five years ago after it commenced with the shaving of 104 mature trees. The city had no plans to replace them.
The re-revised project will add one lane to El Dorado; but also widen sidewalks; and line the street with 144 trees: 54 maidenhair, 8 crape myrtle, 82 London planes.
The University Neighborhood Renaissance Committee and Stockton Tree Foundation want you on their quarterly mailing list. It's free. Subscribe at unrc.org.
"We really are interested in people getting their information to us so we can stay in touch with them, alert them of our projects," Gamboni said.
"We also want them to suggest a tree-planting project in their neighborhood so we can get it permitted, funded and planted."

RMR124gr 9mm prn load data needed
I just got my Lee classic press kit for Christmas and need some help with loading data. I have Winchester wsp small primers, Win 231 and Accurate #2 powders. The Accurate website data shows 3.8 grains of #2 for BRY and RAN 124 Plated RN bullets. How do I know what the start load is for my RMR bullets since they are not specifically listed?
It looks like the start load for my W231 would be 3.9. Is this right?
Thanks for helping, Billy

My reloading manual list's 4.5 of 231 as the start point for 124 grain. Winchester has a reloading site that should give you current data. Yes, data will be the same for all brands of jacketed bullets. Lead is usually listed a little down on charges, not always, but usually.

I start plated at the starting load listed for jacketed bullets. Then work up. Never have gotten up to max load before I found a load that shot to point of aim well enough I decided that was good enough for me.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

GERMANTOWN, MD -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, is helping to lead a prayer vigil and press conference this morning at the site of abortionist LeRoy Carhart's late-term killing center here.
Carhart performed a 33-week abortion this past week on Jennifer Leigh Morbelli, 29, who died after the procedure, along with her daughter, Madison Leigh. Her death is being investigated. A witness says she developed complications, and Carhart could not be contacted to take care of her.
Fr. Frank will call this morning for swift action on the part of the state of Maryland to not only investigate this death but also to stop Carhart from killing children and their mothers. Fr. Frank will also ask every priest across the nation to offer two Masses: one for the repose of the soul of Jennifer and her baby Madison, and another for the conversion of abortionist LeRoy Carhart.

Thank you, village employees
To the Editor:
I placed a call to the Department of Public Works about 12:54 p.m. on July 3 to report an unsafe condition due to some fencing that fell onto the sidewalk on a nearby street. It would force people riding bicycles, jogging or walking to go into the street. My concern was that children would need to go into the street — not a safe thing to do.
The gentleman who answered the telephone was extremely courteous, and he advised me he would report it to the proper authorities and have it corrected. I took a walk less than two hours later, and noticed that the fallen fence already had been repaired. Sometimes residents are quick to complain; I just wanted to be quick to thank the village employees. The day before the Fourth of July holiday and the issue was corrected promptly. Thank you.

A giving village
To the Editor:
I am currently a Life Scout in Troop 214 in Rockville Centre. I am working toward my Eagle Scout rank and have recently completed my Eagle Project. This project entailed soliciting donations of non-perishable food items for the Saint Agnes Food Pantry run by Sister Kathleen Murphy, O.P.
While I have long known that I live in a very giving community, I must admit that I was overwhelmed by the generosity of my neighbors. I would like to thank everyone who graciously donated food. More than 1,150 pounds of food were collected and donated to the Saint Agnes Parish Food Pantry. This food will provide much-needed meals for the many needy families in our village who might otherwise have to go without.
One of the 12 points of the Scout Law is that a Scout is helpful. I am glad to know the same holds true for my neighbors. Once again, I extend a heartfelt thank you to all who donated.

Parking fees make no sense
To the Editor:
Rockville Centre has decided to change the parking meters in town from 25 cents for 25 minutes to 25 cents for 20 minutes. This makes no sense, because many people presume that the 25 cents per 25 minutes is still in effect.
Everyone understands that the village needs to raise money, but it's wrong to do so by charging parking rates that make no sense other than to try and put something over on the paying public.
Here's a suggestion: make every meter a minimum of 30 minutes and charge either 25, 35 or 50 cents for 30 minutes and stop this "part of an hour" fee which most people coming into town are not aware of. Not only is there insufficient parking in the village for people who want to shop, eat and go to the movies, now the parking rates are deceptive too!

Monarchy refers to a system of government in which executive office is held by an individual for life and then passed to their child (or some other blood relative if s/he is childless) upon their death. In some instances, monarchs hold absolute power (see Tsarist Russia); in other cases, they are ceremonial figureheads (as in modern day Britain and Japan). Various states exist in between these extremes.
Monarchy was among the first systems of government to develop and has been around for most of the history of civilization. The reasons for this are simple: someone who got to the top of an early society decided to pass the job on to his son, who later followed this example. Since most trades were hereditary in the past, this was not seen as out of place and became traditional. For the last 200 years, monarchism has been on the decline, being replaced by republics and non-monarchical dictatorships.
Two related concepts are Nobility and Feudalism. Nobles are a class of sub-monarchs: hereditary rulers who oversee smaller areas of territory and pledge their services to their monarch. Feudalism is a system of government based on a monarch and nobles, and it was fairly common historically in various forms. A noble pledges his loyalty to the monarch, or to a higher-ranking noble in one of several tiers of nobility ultimately linked to the reigning monarch. Many monarchical states were forged by one local hereditary leader gaining the allegiance of various local lines in an area. However, it is not universal for monarchical states to be feudal in nature. For example, Imperial China, after the Sui Dynasty, had a centralized monarchy run by bureaucrats selected by examinations, while most Islamic kingdoms ruled through generally non-hereditary military and religious figures, and in the case of the Ottoman Empire, slaves owned by the Sultan.
Monarchies in Fiction
Most fantasy universes involve some form of monarchy, it being the dominant form of government in pre-modern times. While less common, monarchy is not an unusual form of government in science fiction.

First Aid saves lives
LocationNews and events » Volunteers to attend Remembrance service at Cenotaph
Youth and adult volunteers from across Wales will represent St John Cymru at this year's Remembrance Sunday service in London.
The following members of the organisation will attend the service at the Cenotaph and they will also take part in the parade along Whitehall:
Chief Executive for St John Cymru-Wales, Keith Dunn OBE, said:
"As we prepare to mark Remembrance Sunday, it is worth looking back to the brave work of our members who helped to set up the 130th (St John) Field Ambulance during World War 1.
"The men of the 130th served with distinction at some of the most important battles of the Great War. They were in support at the infamous battle of Mametz Wood on the Somme in July 1916 and at Pilkem Ridge during the 3rd Battle of Ypres in 1917.

mmm I thought I saw a very long thread on this similar topic.

but I guess its not too similar after all.
Anyway, the words "voice actor" alone can be refered to the american voice actors. Although the meaning is the same for seiyuu , I use the word seiyuu when I am talking about the japanese voice actors.The seiyuu school have singging and acting lessons for their training and most of the popular and pretty ones gets a music deal most of the time.
That makes no sense, what about other countries? All (Ok, most) of them have voice actors and actresses in them. Yeah Seiyuu is just the term for voice actors/actresses in Japan - but they are still voice actors/actresses. Do you get what I'm trying to say? There are schools for acting (and voice acting specifically) in countries outside Japan as well (I'm sure you already know a lot more about these kinds of things), though Japan does have a vast amount of them since their culture thrives in that profession since the end of World War 2. Sorry if I sound a little scolding, it's just your post makes it seem like Japan is special when it isn't.
Anyway, I don't have a favorite voice actor or actress - I appreciate all of the work any of them do.. so I can't choose a favorite.

I love May'n's singing voice. Other favorite names behind the voices are Miyuki Sawashiro, Eri Kitamura, and Nana Mizuki. I especially love how they have all played vastly different characters with vastly different voices.
From Miyuki-san we have: Kazune, a boy role (Kamichama Karin), Shinku (Rozen Maiden), Saeko (Highschool of the Dead) and Yoru (Shugo Chara)
Eri Kitamura: Seira from Mermaid Melody (for playing a child character that singing was beautiful), Miki/Cure Berry in Fresh Pretty Cure, and Yui from Angel Beats (which i haven't seen to be honest, but I heard her songs)
Nana Mizuki: Utau Hoshina (Shugo Chara) Fate (Lyrical Nonoha, another show I haven't seen but that was her breakout), Tsubomi/Cure Blossom in Heartcatch Pretty Cure, and both Mokas in Rosario + Vampire (perfect example of how she can play different character types)

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Federico Higuaín was less than an hour removed from the completion of a personally successful shortened first season for the Columbus Crew but was already looking ahead toward 2013 after scoring twice in a 2-1 victory over Toronto FC on Sunday.
Although the Designated Player had five goals and seven assists in 13 games (11 starts) since debuting Aug. 19, the Crew (15-12-7) did not make the playoffs for the first time in five years.
"I expect next year to have even a better year and help the team make playoffs and reach any goals the team tries to reach," he said through a team translator.
He couldn't have done much more in the match played in miserable conditions with a biting rain and a wind chill in the 30s.
His first goal in the 17th minute came after Jairo Arrieta, another summer addition, forced Toronto into a turnover. Higuaín made a sharp move around a defender and fired into the right corner.
"Jairo was fighting the defenders like he normally does and found me," Higuaín said. "I took a touch beating one defender and then hit it with my left foot across the body because the goalie was going the other way."
After Andrew Wiedeman tied the match in the 27th, Higuaín repeated his move to draw a penalty from Terry Dunfield in the 62nd.
"It was a pretty similar play," he said. "I controlled the ball, faked it to shoot, cut it and the defender grabbed me from behind."
His sterling play and that of Arrieta (nine goals and four assists in 17 games) gives the team hope for better days.
"You give those guys 34 games and who knows what those guys can do," defender Josh Williams said.

This is not the first time that match-fixing rumours have started doing the rounds and former New Zealand cricketer Craig McMillan has told Indian bookmakers to "put up or shut up", following the recent allegations against Kiwi players.
Sunday Times, a British newspaper, carried out a sting operation of an Indian bookie, who claimed that English county games and international matches are being fixed.
The bookies also claimed that players from all the main cricketing nations, including New Zealand, are involved in match-fixing.
"We've heard all this before and the rumour-mill runs amok again," McMillan was quoted as saying.
"It is very easy to hide behind broad accusations but you need to have concrete evidence to deal with, not just idle speculation. I would be really disappointed if it was proved that any New Zealander was involved.
"We were reminded time and again about our obligations and I can't believe anyone would be that stupid to risk their career and integrity," he added.
McMillan said he has never been approached by anyone with a dodgy deal during his international career spanning from 1996-2007.
His former team-mate, Scott Styris, said it came as "a bit of a surprise" that match-fixing allegations had been made against New Zealand cricketers.
"It's all come out of the blue for me," he said.
However, another former New Zealand cricketer Iain O'Brien has claimed that he had seen "dodgy" cricket happenings in India, England and Australia.
O'Brien watched televised Twenty20 matches during Australia's recent Big Bash and said "there was stuff that didn't look quite right". He also said that he had witnessed some eyebrow-raising moments in English county cricket too.
"I've seen some stuff that I don't necessarily agree with, a bit unexplainable. Everywhere," said O'Brien.
"I've seen plenty in India, and I've seen it with my own eyes a couple of times in games that I've commentated on in the UK, stuff that just doesn't make sense, with guys with possible history in it.
"But that's all I can say. It's all hearsay, and that's the most dangerous," he added.
O'Brien, who has played 22-Test for New Zealand, however, said he himself had never been approached by bookmakers.
Asked whether any other New Zealanders had, he said: "I don't know of anyone but I'm sure there has been. There has to be. You're naive to think they haven't been.
"I have a clear conscience. What I can say is, if anyone is involved I hope they're sweating at the moment. I hope they get caught, whoever it is. And if there are New Zealanders involved, I hope they get taken down."
The biggest fixing scandal of international cricket was exposed by a sting operation by now-defunct British tabloid, News Of The World, which led to the punishment of Pakistani players - Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir.
O'Brien said it might take a similar effort to bring the perpetrators to book.
"If it has to take a newspaper sting to track down cheats and fixers then sweet, I don't care: let's get rid of them.
"But how do they come up with enough proof? You need times, dates and events until you can even get close to proving it," he said.
McMillan asks bookies to prove allegations
This is not the first time that match-fixing rumours have started doing the rounds and former New Zealand cricketer Craig McMillan has told Indian bookmakers to "put up or shut up", following the recent allegations against Kiwi players.

Defra moves to protect UK honeybees
Consultation first step to concrete strategy
The combined forces of the Department for Environment, Food And Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Welsh Assembly today announced the first step in formulating a strategy to protect the UK's honeybees - a consultation (pdf) which "sets out a plan for the future direction of work aimed at sustaining the health of honeybees and beekeeping in England and Wales for the next decade".
According to Defra, there are around "44,000 beekeepers in the UK who maintain around 274,000 colonies of honeybees" and the "economic value of crops grown commercially in the UK that benefit from bee pollination is estimated at around £120m-£200m" a year.
Defra identifies some of the myriad threats menacing Britain's apine population, and in turn the crops they pollinate, as American Foulbrood and European Foulbrood (bacterial infections of bee larvae), "varroa mites and associated viruses", while "potential exotic threats include small hive beetle, parasitic brood mites and undesirable species such as the Asian hornet, which prey on colonies".
Defra lays out its stall thus: "The strategy seeks to address the challenges facing beekeepers given their important role as custodians of honeybees. It sets out a plan for the future direction of work aimed at sustaining the health of honeybees and beekeeping in England and Wales for the next decade. It recognises the important roles of various stakeholders in implementing the strategy - Government, individual beekeepers, their associations and others, such as honey importers."
Jeff Rooker, Minister for Sustainable Food and Farming and Animal Health, said: "Honeybees are facing serious threats from a growing number of pests and diseases. It is vital that we do all we can to respond effectively to these threats and to sustain honeybees and beekeeping for today and for future generations.
"The strategy provides direction and focus for Government, beekeepers and other stakeholders working together over the next decade on sustaining honeybees. We are grateful for the constructive engagement with beekeeping associations over recent months to develop the strategy. Once the final strategy is published after consultation, we will need to work with the associations on a suitable implementation plan."
Interestingly, Defra's press release makes no mention* of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), which has blighted bee populations worldwide. The UK's apiarists recently demanded £8m for a research project aimed at saving the nation's honeybees from extinction, and specifically cited CCD as a major threat.
Tim Lovett, president of the British Beekeeping Association, said: "Beekeeping is still reeling from the varroa mite, which carries a number of viruses and which devastated thousands of hives across the country when it reached Britain ten years ago. Now there is a real danger that colony collapse disease - which has wiped out 80 per cent of bees in parts of the US - will appear in this country. Unless we develop effective protection, there could then be massive losses of bees across the country."
Defra's consultation runs until 29 August. There are full details here. ®
*The consultation document lists this "significant endemic risk" to honeybees: "Honeybee viruses associated with varroa infestation leading to colony losses. An increase in colony losses has been observed over recent years, mainly due to varroa and viruses, though other as yet undetermined causes could be contributing to losses."

Don't run more than 15 gpm through the 5/8 meter. There are two flow ranges. Continuous Duty, and Maximum flow rate. If you go near to maxing out the flow on a meter, it can get noisy, and you get to live with the noise.I have a Neptune 5/8" meter (model T10) which is rated at 150psi and a normal operating rangeof 1/2 to 20 gpm. So looks like this bad boy could handle 18 gpm. Besides if it wears out, isn't that on the water company since I was operating within the normal range? Also looked into larger meter. They are willing to do it but a 3/4 inch is about 5-10 dollars more per month. Not gonna bankrupt me, but why upgrade if the 5/8 can handle 18 gpm?

Music is being used to tackle dementia and social exclusion issues among the tenants of a housing assocation.
Memories to Music encourages residents to meet up and sing classic hits from yesteryear to unlock past memories, help them meet new friends and have fun.
The initiative has been set up by Future Homescape which provides about 6,000 homes across Amber Valley.
Debbie Wood, of Futures Homescape's supported housing team, said: "We're tackling a whole range of issues with this; it's not just about dementia, it's about our tenants getting together, being a little more active and having a better social life.
"We've got them singing songs like London's Burning complete with all the actions, as well as some of the old classics too. They really enjoy it.
"The group are taught to put words and actions together with the aim of exercising their bodies and memories, which can be crucial in fighting the effects of dementia."
Maureen Browning, a tenant who has been attending Memories to Music, said: "It gets us out and about and having a chat with each other."
Memories to Music is the latest scheme launched by Futures Homescape to fight dementia with the housing association also setting up Reminiscence Pods in community centres.

Abstract: Attackers can leverage security vulnerabilities in control systems to make physical processes behave unsafely. Currently, the safe behavior of a control system relies on a Trusted Computing Base (TCB) of commodity machines, firewalls, networks, and embedded systems. These large TCBs, often containing known vulnerabilities, expose many attack vectors that can impact process safety. We present the Trusted Safety Verifier (TSV), a minimal TCB for the verification of safety-critical code executed on programmable controllers. No controller code is allowed to execute before it passes physical safety checks by TSV. If a safety violation is found, TSV provides a demonstrative test case to system operators. TSV works by first translating assembly-level controller code into an intermediate language, ILIL. ILIL allows us to check code containing more instructions and features than previous controller code safety verification techniques. TSV efficiently mixes symbolic execution and model checking by transforming an ILIL program into a novel temporal execution graph that lumps together safety- equivalent controller states. We implemented TSV on a Raspberry Pi computer as a bump-in-the-wire that intercepts all controller- bound code. Our evaluation shows that it can test a variety of programs for common safety properties in an average of less than three minutes, and under six minutes in the worst case — a small one-time addition to the process engineering life cycle. TSV will be presented at Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS) 2014.

"We are extremely excited about the opportunity to play the Galaxy in Edmonton," said Whitecaps President Bob Lenarduzzi. "One of our club's mandates is to grow the game of soccer and this match will allow us to do that by showcasing two of North America's most storied soccer franchises. Edmonton has successfully hosted some of the biggest soccer events in Canadian history and I am positive that this match will be no different."
Founded in 1996, the Galaxy are widely considered one of the most successful clubs in the 14-team MLS, having won MLS Cups titles in 2002 and 2005 and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2001 and 2005. They also won the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Champions' Cup in 2000.
"We have a tremendous relationship with the Vancouver Whitecaps and share their view of growing the sport throughout North America," said Galaxy Assistant General Manager Tom Payne. "The first time that we played the Whitecaps the game ended in a draw, this time we are looking to score goals, entertain the fans of Edmonton and come away with a victory."
England international David Beckham and U.S. international Landon Donovan highlight the Galaxy's star-studded line-up. Beckham's resume includes three FIFA World Cups and 17 goals in 99 appearances for his country. In addition to his success with England, the midfielder has helped Real Madrid win Spain's Primera Division in the 2006-2007 season and led Manchester United to six English Premier League (EPL) titles, as well as the 1998-1999 UEFA Champions League. Donovan, a veteran of two FIFA World Cups, is the U.S. national team's all-time scorer with 35 goals in 98 appearances. The forward has won three MLS Cup titles, including the 2005 championship with the Galaxy.
In addition to Beckham and Donovan, the Galaxy's roster includes Guatemala national team striker Carlos Ruiz and two Canadian internationals in defender Ante Jazić from Bedford, Nova Scotia and former Whitecaps defender/midfielder Kevin Harmse, who hails from Coquitlam, British Columbia. Ruud Gullit, who is a former manager of EPL sides Chelsea and Newcastle United, coaches the Galaxy. In 1987, Gullit was named European Player of the Year and he captained the Netherlands to the European Championship title in 1988. The Galaxy open their regular season on March 29 away to Colorado Rapids.
The Whitecaps play in the 11-team United Soccer Leagues First Division (USL-1) and boast a formidable roster. Long-time veterans include Canadian international midfielders Martin Nash and Jeff Clarke and defender Steve Kindel. Nash, the 2007 Whitecaps team MVP, has won three USL-1 titles and earned 38 international caps. All three members were key contributors to the Whitecaps 2006 USL-1 championship season.
The 2008 edition of the Whitecaps will see former Icelandic international striker Teitur Thordarson, who has also coached the Estonian national team, at the helm. Thordarson will look to integrate members from the Whitecaps Residency program, which includes Edmonton natives Randy Edwini-Bonsu, Marcus Johnstone and Antonio Rago, as well as Ethan Gage who hails from Cochrane, Alberta, into the first team.
Whitecaps soccer hails back to 1973. The current team was formed in 1986 and is the oldest soccer franchise in North America. The Whitecaps kick off their 22nd season on April 12 at Swangard Stadium against Montreal Impact.
To ensure a successful event the Whitecaps and Galaxy will work closely with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League.
"As a community-owned team, the Eskimos are proud to help bring this very special event to our fans and the city of Edmonton," said Eskimos President and CEO Rick LeLacheur. "I'm especially pleased that Eskimo fans will have first chance to buy these highly sought after tickets. We're looking forward to a great night of soccer between the Whitecaps and Galaxy at Commonwealth Stadium."
Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium has hosted some of Canada's biggest soccer events. In 1994, Commonwealth drew close to 50,000 fans for a friendly between Canada and Brazil. In 2002, a crowd of 47,484 saw the FIFA U-19 Women's World Cup championship match between the U.S. and Canada. Also, last summer, Edmonton was a host city for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in which three matches exceeded 30,000 fans in attendance.
Individual match tickets for the May 13 friendly will go on sale to the general public on Saturday, March 8 at 10:00 a.m. and will range from $25 to $85. Seating configuration at Commonwealth Stadium will be limited to the lower bowl of 25,000. However, if demand permits, select upper bowl seating may become available.

Paris, 16 Apr 2003
Pescarolo Sport won Sunday's race at Estoril in Portugal, the first in the 7-event FIA Sportscar Championship, helped by technology originally designed for ESA's space programme.
The partnership between Pescarolo Sport and ESA's Technology Transfer Programme (TTP) began in December last year. Its aim: to apply space technology in the field of sports car endurance racing and to demonstrate how space technology can be used 'on Earth'. This year's International Automobile Federation (FIA) Sportscar Championship was a good test of whether this partnership is working well. Judging by Sunday's results the answer is a resounding yes.
Says Henri Pescarolo, team leader of the Pescarolo Sports Team, "the whole team is delighted with Sunday's results which puts us in the lead of the Sportscar Championship. Undoubtedly the space technology we used improved the car's performance and safety".
ESA, together with Henri Pescorolo and Andre de Cortanze, technical director of the Pescarolo Sport team, identified two important areas where space technology could be used: performance and security. Performance to weight ratio is vital in racing and high-tech carbon composite materials, used to build satellites, were used in the construction of the sports car. This gave a reduction of 29 kg in the car's weight, and compensated for the reduction in engine power of 60 horsepower, required by the new Automobile Club de l'Ouest regulations for the world famous 24-hour Le Mans race that will take place in June.
To improve safety, thermal shields similar to those used on Europe's Ariane launchers were placed between the engine and the flexible fuel tank to protect it from engine fire hazards. The same material was also used to insulate the manifold and turbo.
Pescarolo is not just interested in winning, the safety and comfort of his pilots also has high priority. For the 24-hour Le Mans race - the yardstick in endurance racing for pilots and cars - a cooling system tested during the Dakar 2003 rally will be in place. This will prevent pilots from suffering from dehydration by providing them with cooling drinks throughout the race. This technology also derives from space.
The Pescarolo team is now busy preparing for the next race in the championship, scheduled for Lausitzring in Germany in May. This latest cooperation of ESA's TTP programme is just one more example of how space technology can speed up travel on Earth as well as in space.

It sucks to admit, but celebrities have been known to die from time to time. Americans collectively lose their shit when circumstances like this occur, like we forget that the Reaper is coming for me, you, yo momma and your cousin too. As we become more and more acclimated with living our lives online, you notice certain behaviors starting to occur more frequently. Don't believe me? Let's chart the 12 steps of dealing with celebrity death online.
1. Unverified speculation. This can be a tweeted link or a random person from high school posting on your Facebook timeline. You barely notice it, but once you do, you immediately advance to ...
2. Nancy Drew status. You barely know what your e-mail password is, but the concept of a person you just saw in a movie like a month ago no longer existing on this mortal coil drives you to drop whatever it is you're doing and do more research on whether or not the celeb has actually died than you did in five years in college. (Don't stress about that extra year, BTW. Studies show millenials need more time to adapt to new surroundings ... yes, that's it.)
3. TMZ calls it. (Unless it's Lil' Wayne. They really [bleeped] that one up.)
4. Wave 1: This is when all of the people who spend all day on social media start posting and tweeting statements of disbelief ("Wow" "Man! RIP to _______")
5. Wave 2: When all of the people who spend all day on Facebook (not the same as the people who spend all day on social media, trust me) begin to post statements of disbelief (see above) and confusion ("Is it true about _____?") At this point, you will encounter your first corny attempt at making a joke about the recently deceased. It's almost always unfunny.
6. The shift: Let's do a little Choose Your Own Adventure right quick:
- Did the celebrity in question suffer from a public battle with addiction that led them to be the butt of horrible jokes?
- Was the celebrity beloved for only one role, despite having a long and varied career?
- Was the celebrity a musician?
If you answered yes to No. 1: Expect a complete 180 from a majority of the population. The same folks who were LOL-ing about someone going through hell are now going to celebrate the angel making his/her ascent to heaven. You might get nauseated.
If you answered yes to No. 2: The person in question will only be referred to by the name of their iconic character, even if they stopped playing that character 40-plus years ago. Film/TV buffs will dig up archival YouTube footage of lost roles.
If you answered yes to No. 3: ?uestlove will weigh in. He's the greatest encylopedia of music knowledge on Earth and has heard every song ever recorded, so expect no less than 19 links to demos, early recordings and live performances that weren't even filmed, so wait, how did he ... shhh. It's ?uestlove, my dear. He knows all.
7. Full tribute immersion: Your feed is now consumed. Hastily put together photo galleries and memes, comments and official statements from people who worked with the celebrity and brands. Expect a full statement from your dramatic cousin on Facebook totally declaring his/her undying fanhood and this being "a very dark day for us all." This bullshit will garner no less than 19 "likes."
8: The reminder: "Reminder" in this case meaning either "Here's a reminder that there are assholes on the internet" or "Here's a reminder that there are people who legit only check Facebook once a day/week/month." The former will spout hardcore ignorance as a signal flare for attention and/or acknowledgement. The latter will infuritate the self-appointed internet cops by posting something mundane or unrelated to the current mourning rhetoric. (Also, expect a lot of idiots to quack about the "rule of three" because apparently celebrities are mythical unicorns who don't just die, they HAVE to die in triples. #Illuminati #StayWokeDog)
9: Think-pieces: Some will be beautiful. Some will rival Mr. Fantastic in their ability to streeeeeeeetch ("What ________ taught us about being a good PR pro," anyone?) All of them will be long.
10: Memoriam: Glossy covers. Special editions. Tribute mixes, This is when you're reminded that print is still pretty damn cool and you should probably renew your subscription. (You will go to dinner and forget to renew your subscription.)
11: The cash-in: Links to buy stuff, including those special editions you just read for free. If the deceased was a musician, expect re-issued box sets and a brief spike in sales. Remember kids: While the celebrity is no longer alive, capitalism will never be killed.
12: Acceptance: Life slowly begins to roll again. There will be an "In Memoriam" mention at an awards show (or even worse, an omission, causing people to collectively lose their shit) and we'll all get back to making fun of the latest "trainwreck" and laughing at people we've never met. You know, normal.

CARSON, Calif. – Facing a fellow MLS team for the first time this season, the LA Galaxy lost 4-1 to the Portland Timbers this afternoon on a cool and cloudy day at The Home Depot Center. Dan Keat scored LA's only goal of the game as Bruce Arena once again made wholesale changes at halftime, with a total of 23 players seeing action in the match.
Despite a lineup that saw both David Beckham and Edson Buddle make their preseason debuts, the Galaxy fell behind early in the first half when Bright Dike headed home a corner from Franck Songo'o, giving the Timbers a 1-0 lead.
WATCH: Full Match Highlights
The visitors doubled that lead a minute later when Jorge Perlaza beat Josh Saunders off a pass from Songo'o, making the score 2-0.
After both teams made wholesale changes through the second half, the Timbers made it 3-0 when Kalif Alhassan threaded a pass through the Galaxy defense for James Marcelin, who beat LA goalkeeper Nick Noble to the ball and clipped a shot over him for the third goal of the game. The Galaxy had just 10 players on the field at the time as Dan Keat had exited the field a minute earlier in order to stop the bleeding from a cut that he had picked up.
Keat was back on the field shortly after the goal and pulled one back for the Galaxy 10 minutes before the end. Kyle Nakazawa, who had created a series of chances for LA throughout the second half, played a short corner to the feet of Hector Jimenez at the edge of the box. His cross was then deflected into the center of the penalty area, where Keat was the quickest to react, beating Troy Perkins with an overhead kick from six yards out, making the score 3-1.
The Timbers would round out the scoring in the 85th minute when Futty Danso scored from the penalty spot after referee Baldomero Toledo had called for a handball in the penalty area.
The Galaxy will be back in action on Friday, February 10 when they host the Houston Dynamo at The Home Depot Center. That will be the club's third of five preseason games that they will play before heading to Arizona for the Desert Diamond Cup this month.
