Guinea have nothing to lose
Guinea go into their second match of the 2015 African Cup of Nations against Cameroon with nothing to lose on.
If there is one thing that this tournament has proved so far is that there are no favorites. On paper Cameroon have an advantage over Guinea as they have never lost a game to them.
However, Guinea captain Traore said the very fact that they are not favourites is what motivates them to do well.
"We have no fear. We knew from the beginning that we are a team nobody would count as favourites.
"We are not scared of any opponent and have nothing to lose. So we can simply play our game. That is what we want to do in our next match against Cameroon," he told FIFA's official website.
Against Ivory Coast, Mohammed Yattara opened the scoring for the Guineans in the first half. A speedy forward, Traore then hit the crossbar and the Elephants were reduced to 10 men after Gervinho received a red card for slapping an opponent. However, the veteran Elephants side rallied at the end and found a 72nd minute equaliser through substitute Seydou Doumbia.
"[Experience] was the difference between the two sides. We played a good game against a strong team but lacked the experience to win the match. Teams like Côte d'Ivoire will win games if they play well because they have the experience to do so. And we don't. We have euphoria, but experience is more important. We have a very young side – I think one of the youngest in the tournament. But you could see when Côte d'Ivoire where a goal and a man down they remained calm and played well at the end," Traore explained.
Both teams are coming into this match after playing to draws in their opening matches in this tournament. Cameroon played to a 1-1 draw with Mali as Guinea and Ivory Coast also drew 1-1.
Guinea qualified second behind Ghana in their group, but given what they were up against off the pitch that constitutes a minor miracle.
The last time Michel Dussuyer's side played at home was in July 2013, when the side secured a 1-0 victory against Mali in an international friendly. Since then, the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus has put a temporary halt on all home matches and the African confederation decided in August last year, that the Syli Nationale would have to play their qualifying matches for the 2015 AFCON tournament at a neutral venue.
This, of course, made qualifying from a difficult group that comprised African heavyweights Ghana, as well as Togo and Uganda, much more difficult. The Guinean football federation chose Casablanca as their temporary home and the team did remarkably well in Morocco, securing victories against Uganda and Togo and playing to a 1-1 draw against Ghana.
The captain says the challenge forged the team into a more powerful force. "We went to many countries where the people did not want us. The spectators in the stadiums were chanting 'Ebola, Ebola.' But that also made us stronger and more determined. We managed to qualify, although nobody believed in us. But now that we are here, so nobody is saying those things anymore."
Guinea are here and a positive result against Cameroon will help them stay.

Regrouping after losses, illness
Panthers drop two over weekend, suffer depleted roster Monday
A pair of weekend losses augured the start of poor health for the Saratoga Panthers boys basketball team, who were missing half their roster to illness by practice Monday. The Panthers fell 53-43 in Encampment Friday, then lost 66-58 to basketball powerhouse Kaycee at home the next afternoon.
"I think it was maybe one of those games where we wanted to win so bad that we–especially the first half–just didn't play so well," said coach Jason Williams, referring to the Encampment game.
"We surrendered the lead in the first quarter and were never able to get back," he summed up. Williams said that Encampment's combination of fundamentally strong defense and good coaching make them difficult foes to mount a comeback against.
The Panthers were back about 10 by halftime, rallied momentarily in the third-quarter but ultimately succumbed.
Williams had more to say about the game against Kaycee. "I was a little concerned about how we'd come out in that game because that was such a disappointment Friday night," Williams recalled.
Against Kaycee, Saratoga was down by 20 at half time, but launched a strong second-half effort to bring themselves within 5. "To come back against that team–I was really proud of the boys' Saturday effort," Williams recalled.
The coach said there were definitely some bright spots over the weekend, including good play from point guard Gage Bartlett. "His stats speak for themselves; He's a great ballplayer and he brings it every game," Williams said. Logan Seahorn also dropped a number of threes against Kaycee on his way to 11 total points.
On defense, Morgan Rempel "played the best defensive games he's played Friday and Saturday," Williams said. Rempel seems to get better every week, he continued, and Rempel was effective against Kaycee's strong guards.
When asked, Williams said the big goal for this week is just getting healthy. The boys will take on Walden at home Friday, then they'll have a conference match-up against Snake River Saturday afternoon.
"We're getting to that situation where we need to pick up a conference win," Williams noted. Snake River lacks intimidating size, "but their guards are really good ball-handlers and they're really fast," Williams said. Snake River is "a team that can throw just about anything at us," including creative zone, man-to-man and press schemes, Williams said.
"We're planning for speed," and hopefully a speedy recovery from weekend bugs, the coach concluded.

Two- versus Three-Point Internal Fixation of Displaced Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Fractures
Publication History
21 December 2016
14 March 2017
Publication Date:
27 July 2017 (eFirst)
Despite the high frequency of the zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures, there is no consensus among facial reconstructive surgeons regarding the best surgical management; thus, surgical choice for ZMC fractures is still challenging. This study included 40 patients with displaced ZMC fracture. Twenty patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation (OR/IF) using two-point fixation technique (at infraorbital margin and zygomaticofrontal buttress region) and the remaining 20 patients were treated with OR/IF using three-point fixation technique (at frontozygomatic suture, infraorbital margin, and zygomatico maxillary buttress). The results of both types of ZMC fractures repair were then statistically compared. No statistical differences between the two types regarding malar eminence asymmetry; projection (forward displacement) and width (medial displacement) in axial CT; inferior displacement; superior displacement and width (medial displacement) in coronal CT; angle of displacement (outward displacement) in 3D CT; masseter and temporalis muscles power electromyography; actual duration of surgery; and patient satisfaction. On the other hand, the total cost of the used plates and screws was significantly higher with three-point repair than two-point repair (p = 0.003). Moreover, postoperative CT lateral zygoma displacement was statistically significantly better in three-point fixation. Two-point fixation modality for displaced ZMC fractures is as effective as three-point method in fixation and prevents postreduction rotation or clinical displacement with significantly lower cost.

An Old Dominion University officer took time out of his day by performing a kind gesture for a woman.
He stopped in the middle of the road in Downtown Norfolk to help a lady in a wheelchair cross the road.
"Our officers always do their jobs to the best of their ability, and we feel actions like this are the exception, rather than the rule," said Brendan O'Hallarn, with Old Dominion University.

Cultivating soil is back-breaking work. It refers to the process of digging over the soil and aerating it as you do so. It's fine to do this by hand on a small patch of ground, but if you are planning to dig over a larger area, a rotavator is a useful tool to have. It also saves you time and backache!
While a rotavator might be used in some domestic situations, it is far more likely to be used by professional gardeners, landscapers and other employees who work in this industry. It can be used in all kinds of projects, both for private clients and for businesses who require their grounds to be landscaped.
What is a rotavator?
A rotavator is a piece of gardening equipment designed to churn up the ground. It gets air into the soil and prepares the ground for whatever it will be used for. For example, a landscaper might be clearing an area ready to lay turf, or to design a new garden from scratch.
Rotavators come in various sizes. They are all reasonably compact and are designed to be operated by hand. The smaller models will have a lower horse power than the larger ones. They may also have just one or two small wheels. In contrast, larger and more robust rotavators will have two chunky tyres, better able to navigate across muddy ground. They may also be more powerful with a greater horse power than other models.
Making sure you're safe when using a rotavator
This is one of the most important things to bear in mind. The Health and Safety Executive points out there are three elements to think of when operating mobile machinery used in agriculture and gardening:
- Proper use of the controls
- Safe maintenance undertaken only when the machinery is switched off and safe
- Proper training to ensure the user knows how to work the machinery
This applies to all forms of machinery used in agriculture and associated industries, not just to a rotavator. When an accident does occur, it very often turns out it could have been prevented if appropriate safety procedures had been in place beforehand.
Essential safety tips
The HSE has released a leaflet exploring various elements of working safely with machinery such as a rotavator. The advice in the leaflet also applies to larger machinery, not just to mobile machinery. It lists seven reasons why accidents often occur in these situations.
If you are going to use a rotavator, make sure you bear the following points in mind:
- Do you know how to use it?
- Proper training will ensure you understand how the machine you are going to use works. Remember, different makes and models may not all be identical, even though they do the same job.
- Do you have the proper safety equipment?
- Is the rotavator safe to use?
- Is the ground you are going to work on safe?
In this case, personal protective equipment (PPE) can make all the difference between completing the job safely and suffering an injury. Steel toe-capped boots are just one example of PPE that could prevent any mishaps. A rotavator has sharp blades that can easily cut through your foot if you're not using it carefully and responsibly. Gloves and other protective equipment might also be required.
A rotavator should be checked before every use. If you hire one, the hire company is responsible for ensuring it is fit for purpose before they hire it to you. If your employer provides the rotavator, they are responsible for carrying out the appropriate checks. However, it's still a good idea to check it over yourself and to make sure you are happy to use it.
Assess the ground you will use the equipment on before you start using it. Is it uneven? Are there any potential hazards in the ground that could pose a problem if the rotavator strikes them as you are moving along? If you are on a slope, you could lose your balance and fall, resulting in a potentially serious accident if the equipment falls on you.
As you can see, there are several elements to be aware of before you start using one of these rotavators to do landscaping or cultivating work in any location.
Was someone else responsible for your injury?
You may have found this article because you were searching for advice about trying to claim compensation following an accident while working in the landscaping or agricultural industry. Research has indicated that while accidents are rare, the amenity horticultural industry has experienced fatal accidents at about the same rate as the construction industry, even though the latter is generally regarded as one of the most dangerous industries in the country today. Between 2001 and 2009, at least 23 deaths occurred in this industry.
We all recognise that prevention of accidents is better than dealing with the consequences when something goes wrong. Most people use rotavators without incident, but taking a few essential precautions is the best way to ensure you don't become just another statistic. Injuries that could potentially be caused by rotavators could be serious, and may even lead to stopping work.
Could we help?
Accident Advice Helpline has been working for over 16 years to assist people who have been injured in accidents they did not cause. If you've received injuries while using a rotavator recently (i.e. within the past three years), contact us now to find out whether a no win no fee claim could be started on your behalf.
We have solicitors handling other claims on this basis already, and we can let you know whether your case may result in a compensation award being agreed for you. Learn more now – ring us on 0800 689 5659. Don't leave it too late – we can provide the answers you need when you've been injured through negligence, either from using sub-standard hired equipment or because of negligence from your employer.

When you're on the harbor sailing every week, one of the first things you notice is, people who sail more than you. One such sailor is Mike Inmon, in his light blue Venture 23, Sleeping Beauty.
I am sure you have noticed Sleeping Beauty over the last four years. It's hard to miss with its huge square top main and bowsprit. Mike first purchased a similar boat back in 1979 when he was a boat dealer for MacGregor in New Orleans. He only owned the boat for six months before he sold it and purchased a larger MacGregor. The years passed, and Mike and his wife Judy moved to Marina del Rey to run the MacGregor dealership. One day, Judy was looking for a Venture 23 and found one that had been kept in a shed in Arizona and had not seen daylight in 30 years. "It had original upholstery and looked like it was brand new, other than the trailer and outboard," Mike told me.

While it wasn't exactly breaking news, with consensus having long ago decided that Halliburton and Baker Hughes would ultimately call off their ill-timed $28 billion merger announced in late 2014 following recurring media leaks, last night the two companies officially ended speculation when they announced that the contested merger would be called off, resulting in a $3.5 billion termination fee payable to Baker Hughes. With its immediate future somewhat in limbo, moments ago Baker Hughes outlined its "path for the future."
It included the following key steps:
- "To reduce costs by simplifying its organization and rationalizing its operational footprint": i.e. more layoffs
- "Commercial strategy focused on its core strengths in product innovation, while building broader channels for its technology and products" – i.e. returning to its core business model
- "Announces plans to buy back $1.5 billion of shares and $1 billion of debt with $3.5 billion merger breakup fee" – i.e. preventing any further selloff by promising to step in and buy its own securities.
For the full release from Baker Hughes, click here to view.
Baker Hughes will provide more details on its plans when Chairman and CEO Martin Craighead and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Kimberly Ross host a webcast later today, Tuesday 3 May at 07:00 Central Time (08:00 Eastern Time).
To access the webcast, go to their Events and Presentations page on the Company's website at: www.bakerhughes.com/investor.

On April 23, when Amy Senser goes to trial for the hit-and-run death of Anousone Phanthavong, it will be hard to give her a fair shake. She is the wife of a celebrity. She hit Phanthavong, an immigrant Thai chef, with a Mercedes SUV then parked it at her Edina home and went to sleep as though nothing had happened (she says she was aware of hitting something, just not a person). She comes across like Gatsby, smashing through the world and leaving the rest of us to pick up the pieces. If the Marx Brothers were still around, they'd toss a pie in her salon-tanned face. But would a conviction make us feel better? It wouldn't ease the current tension between the haves and have-nots, or, as one observer has optimistically spun it, the "haves and soon-to-haves." It's also conceivable, as Senser claims, that she did not see Phanthavong; it could have been anyone. So forget for a moment who she is and he was. It isn't the income gap between driver and victim that is most appalling. It's the seeming gap in Senser's notion of responsibility—a virtue that, in this election year, is being defined in two starkly different ways: "look out for others" and "look out for yourself." The difference is stoking a culture war in courthouses and capitols and opinion pages over just how much, if anything, we owe each other as we barrel through life in pursuit of our own happiness. Senser's attorney has blamed the victim, noting an autopsy report showing cocaine in Phanthavong's system and implying that this may have caused him to act erratically. How Senser explains herself, and how a jury responds, may tell us a lot about the battle to come.

blog discussion the weeks football and providing some tips for upcoming games. Its not supposed to be serious but a bit of fun.
Friday, 19 August 2011
Strange things are a happening in the football stats!
Last weekend on Manchester City won at home. In the championship only 13 home wins have been registered in the 3 rounds of games! That is astonishing!
I'm off on holiday for 2 weeks so don;t have much time for analysis this week.
I'm going to attempt another yankee, failure again will result in me reconsidering my strategy!
I'm picking home teams that have started well and should be able to kick on in the coming weeks.
Preston NE V Exeter - Preston lost on the opening day but have since bagged some much needed points, as one of the favorites for promotion this is the sort of game they should be winning.
Gillingham V Plymouth - Plymouth have not had a great start and seem to be ok for 45 minutes before fading, Gillingham look like having a good season, Plymouth need money, players and some luck in the coming weeks! Gillingham home win.
Rotherham V Barnet - Rotherham have won 3 out of 3 so far and play a Barnet team who have won lost and drawn in their opening fixtures. They have already won away but I don't see that being repeated. Rotherham home win.
Finally my tip for promotion, Southend. Southend are at home to Burton, Burton have drawn all of their games so far but I feel Southend should get the better of them and take the bacon.
I'm going with my usual 10pts which will net $50.

Hi IMJReplyDelete
I think you have picked a good Yankee this week, one which I hope will pay some dividends! It sounds like the two week holiday has come at a good time and no doubt the unusual winning patterns will have calmed down once many of the fancied sides start to gel and build up a head of steam.
My selection this week is as follows:
Reading v Barnsley - home win.
Despite the loss of Shane Long, Reading have been in the goals this season and had a great away victory against Leicester a few weeks ago. They have a settled side and face a Barnsley team who won only 3 games on their travels all last season. Things haven't got much better for the Tykes so far, so I'm going for the home win here.
AFC Wimbledon v Hereford - home win
I watched the Dons in midweek action against Plymouth and although they rode their luck at times, I think they will score against a poor Hereford side and cement their good form at the moment. Their strong partisan support at home will also add some wind to their sails.
Gillingham v Plymouth - home win
Completely agree with your sentiments on this one IMJ - 'nuff said!
Northampton v Cheltenham - home win
Gary Johnson is a good manager at this level and will be hoping that his Cobblers side get into gear after an indifferent start to the campaign. I reckon tomorrow could therefore see a home victory which might just kickstart the team.
The Yankee pays £42.77, which if it comes in will kickstart my season too....! Happy holidays!

Things I Like To Do In My Spare Time
I've just finished referencing up my research proposal, and have a little time before I head off to bed so can do something I enjoy.
I can't decide what to do, so I thought I'd write a list and choose. You'd think I'd already know because I spend half my time that I'm supposed to be doing work thinking of all the other things I could be up to.
Watch reality TV - I don't watch all reality shows, but I get pretty into the ones I do watch. My favourites being Teen Mom, The Real Housewives of Orange County, Geordie Shore, Keeping up with the Kardashians. The new series of Teen Mom looks so good, I can't wait for it to air in the UK.
Read - After watching Insurgent in the cinema a few weeks ago, I've re-read the Divergent trilogy, but I haven't read Four again yet. I also read The Maze Runner trilogy shortly after Christmas and recently bought the prequel that I'm yet to pick up.
Watch Non-reality TV - GAME OF THRONES, I'm so excited for this to start back tomorrow, just over 24 hours to go. I've been watching One Tree Hill from the start, I forgot how good the first few series are. I bought an entertainment pass on NowTv ready for Game of Thrones, and have been watching a few of the box-sets on there, my favourites so far are Revenge and Criminal Minds.
Read blogs - Since entering the blogging world I've come across many blogs I love to read. I'm always coming across new ones through Facebook groups and Twitter, which means a forever growing reading list.
Write - I write my blog posts in my spare time, it's not something I really make time for, I started it as a hobby and would like it to continue being a hobby. Unless I've been reviewing a product, then I make time to write it up.
Sort through photos - I go through fazes of taking loads of photos, and can sometimes take quite a while to sort out. Since they're mainly photos of Osian I love sorting them out, I often sit on my phone at night having a look back on the photos I've taken that day.
Stalk celebrities social media accounts - This is one I usually do after watching a film/programme with a certain actor in, I then like to have a nosy as to what they're up to. I'm not a huge fan of anyone in particular but go through little fazes of checking up on a certain person.
Sit and do nothing - Yes, nothing! It's sometimes just nice to have a little sit down when nothing needs done. After a little while I'll usually start scrolling through Instagram, but I'm still not doing much.
All of which will usually be accompanied by a hot cup of tea and some biscuits, or cake, or chocolate, etc.

Ooh yes, reading or a bit of TV with a cuppa and slice of cake has to be on my list of favourite things to do when everything else has been taken care of (or I've decided to ignore it). Oh, and making lists - I love that too!! #MummyMondayReplyDelete
I can relate to all of the above. I love nothing more than sitting down at night reading blogs when Billy has gone to bed. Cup of tea and something sweet makes it even better!ReplyDelete

A FUNKIN' PSA on AMERICAN TRAVESTY – The Tragedy of Michael Brown
FROM THE WASHINGTON POST: "A grand jury has declined to indict Darren Wilson, the white Ferguson, Mo. police officer whose fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager sparked days of turbulent protests and a national conversation about race and police interactions with African Americans, prosecutors said Monday. The decision means that Wilson, 28, will face no state charges in the August shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown."
Let's reminisce a little… I'm an O.G. (older gentleman) and as I recollect, I remember the 70s being my favorite decade, and I will tell you why. The music, the club scene, the dances, and so on – and I could just go on, and on. Why this particular time, rather than some others was more enjoyable to me personally, is easy to explain.
Oscar Diversity: The WIN – WIN!!! A Funky Prophecy
Last night was a historical one for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). Headed by Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the first African-American to hold the position, diversity was exemplary at the Oscars. Hosted by the Fabulous Ellen DeGeneres, the list of winners and nominees was multi-cultural as well as valid, in that they made poignant statements regarding sexual; age; gender; class; and racial discrimination. This was the best thing about the winners and nominees of this year's ceremony.
A Blast From The Past Series: Star Trek circa 1974
Star Trek was adapted for comics by Gold Key. The first issue was published on July, 1967. This series ran for sixty one issues, through 1979. Lieutenant Uhura, played by Nichelle Nichols, was one of the first positive Black characters on television and also one of the first positive Black characters to appear in a comic book series and later in a Saturday morning animated series.
The Queen of Soul – Aretha is Home for the Holidays!
Earlier this week, Aretha Franklin was discharged from a Detroit hospital after undergoing surgery that her doctors deemed highly successful! The Queen of Soul is in great spirits and very happy to be home where she will be resting in anticipation of spending the upcoming holiday season with her family."
The Funk Of Gates And Crowley
Just watched a press conference post the "Beer Summit." "The Beer Bash," featuring the brews of Bud Light for Barack; Blue Moon for James; and Red Stripe for Henry. I'd love to know what the sales increase for all three will be.

Breaking down the Committee Rankings: Who can play their way in?
The 2nd rankings for the College Football Playoff Committee are out. There weren't
many teams surprising the top 4 with Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State and Notre Dame penciling their names in the playoff with their resume to date.
What is far more interesting is the analysis of the movement of the teams following them.
The top 25 is well represented by all conferences.
Big12: 4
Ind: 1
Let's breakdown some of the potential candidates who can slide into the Top 4 if they take care of business. These programs may not be the flashiest, but they essentially control their own destiny. They may need to win impressively, but won't need much help outside of their own performance.
Iowa: Last week they barely had their foot in the top 10 due to "uncertainty" surrounding their offense. This week, after a win against Indiana, "they are solid on both sides of the ball." Both of those statements can be directly attributed to Jeff Long. The Hawkeyes seem poised to win the B1G West and there is no reason to doubt that logic at this point.
Baylor: They stood pat in the 6 slot after a lackluster performance on Thursday night against Kansas State. Freshman QB Jarrett Stidham looked impressive, but it is obvious the Committee is refusing to rank the Bears until they have a substantial win. They will get their chance with TCU, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State on the horizon.
Stanford: After watching Stanford it is absolutely perplexing to understand how the Cardinal only scored six points against Northwestern in their opening game. With Christian McCaffrey quietly putting together a Heisman resume, David Shaw's squad can play their way in with wins against Notre Dame to cap the season and a potential matchup with Utah in the PAC 12 Championship.
Oklahoma State: Mike Riley's bunch struck first blood in the Big 12 with their undressing of TCU on Saturday. A performance that few expected catapulted the Cowboys into the 8th position. With Baylor a few weeks away and a battle with instate rival Oklahoma to close the season, the Cowboys can most likely play their way in with an impressive finish.
Florida: Jim McElwain's squad is being over looked for their chances to slide into the College Football Playoff. Lurking just outside the top 10, the Gators finish the regular season with instate rival Florida State and have a potential top four team waiting for them from the SEC West for the SEC Championship. With impressive wins, the Committee will be forced to use the eye test and overlook a struggling offense led by Treon Williams.
Oklahoma: The Sooners will have a chance to play their way in. The Committee has shown that they will look past a bad loss with an impressive resume and great performances. They are a long shot, but so were the Buckeyes at this point last season.
There are the outsiders who have a legitimate shot of playing their way into the College Football Playoff. LSU and Utah were intentionally omitted because it looks like they will need more help than just their own performance to secure a spot. It was just a brief overview, and it will be fluid every week. Beau Bishop will be joining me for Episode 5 of According to Carp that will be dropping on November 11th. Enjoy.

A vote of no confidence in the leader of Scarborough Council and his cabinet will take place today.
The motion, submitted to the council by UKIP councillors Sam Cross, Roxanne Murphy, Norman Murphy, John Dodds and independent Janet Jefferson, was handed into the council in April, but due to the local and general elections, it has been delayed until now.
It followed votes of no confidence in the council from Whitby and Filey town councils in leader Cllr Derek Bastiman and his cabinet.
Speaking in April, Cllr Cross said: "People have had enough, we are hearing it on the doorstep, not just in Filey and Whitby but in Scarborough too.
"People are looking at decisions like the one to demolish the Futurist and asking 'what are they doing?'
"We've been using the phrase 'drain the swamp' and that's what we want to do.
"We know we have the support of Labour and the Greens with this motion, I expect the cabinet can rely on the votes of its two independent members.
"It is time people stood up to be counted."
If the cabinet (Six Conservatives and two independents) is allowed to vote then the Conservatives hold a slim majority (plus the Conservative Mayor would break any tie) and should defeat the motion.
If not then the Conservatives would be left with 20 votes (assuming full turnout to the 10am vote and support).
Labour, Green and UKIP combined would equal that 20 with motion co-sponsor Janet Jefferson (independent) giving the opposition the leader.
However, that would leave Cllr Vanda Inman (ind) who resigned from the Labour Party following the vote to demolish the Futurist and voted with the Conservatives to approve the demolition of the building.
The demolition was approved by one vote after two Tories rebelled, with Cllr Inman the only opposition member to vote in favour of knocking down the building.
She could once again hold the deciding vote. Losing the vote would not mean the current cabinet and leader would have to step down, though it would increase pressure from opposition groups that they do not have the faith of the council or the electorate.

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical examination consists of the capability to relocate the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be tested in a number of methods. The patient might be asked to identify illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on exactly what is called the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, specifically in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased noticeably.
It needs to be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can alert the doctor and the client to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
One's dependence on sight is highlighted when one faces a momentary or possible permanent loss of this important sense. When restorative procedures are looked for, specific types of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were developed to encourage decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgery is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, permitting better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people need to understand. Probably, the main reason that this kind of eye surgical treatment has actually ended up being well accepted is due to the fact that most of its cases had actually succeeded.
In spite of its success, there are still some look what i found downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive parts of the eye, most individuals state that the operation can be very risky.
In other words, a basic mistake could nearly cause an person's lifetime blindness. It is essential to think about many elements before choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the ideal restorative measure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a ideal treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment may fix your vision but it does not necessarily suggest that it can give you a perfect vision. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily mean they have ideal vision.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not always be the perfect eye surgery the way a lot of people see it
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in several methods. It should be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem might have other issues. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can notify the physician and the client to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.

The Southern Boone baseball team beat the weather and the Hallsville Indians last night to claim the Mid-Missouri Conference championship with a 7-2 victory on Simmons Field.
With an imminent thunderstorm creeping in from the west, Adam Brush scattered seven hits and struck out nine to pitch the Eagles (11-4, 5-0) to the conference crown minutes before a heavy rain drenched Columbia.
�We�ve been looking at the weather all day on the computer � hour-by-hour stuff and everything.� Southern Boone first baseman Derek Harmon said. �We thought we�d get it in.�
Harmon made sure the Eagles returned to Ashland high and dry with a two-out, two-run double in the fifth inning off Hallsville starter Tyler Rollins (4-1) that gave Southern Boone a 5-1 lead. Harmon�s line drive landed just in front of the warning track in front of the 370-foot sign in left-center field. The blast would have easily been a home run on just about any high school field but, playing on the Missouri Tigers� home field, Harmon had to be content with a stand-up double.
�They were all giving me crap in the dugout about it,� Harmon said of his long double. �The guy,� Rollins, �was throwing kind of slow all game, so you just sit back and lock in and hit the ball hard. I just wanted to put the ball in play and put the pressure on them.�
Harmon�s hit clearly put Hallsville (10-5, 3-2) in a hole. Trailing 2-1 entering the inning, a one-out fielding error by Indians second baseman Garrett Strodtman led to all three runs in the fifth being unearned. Ryan Schuermann collected an RBI single with two outs before Harmon�s big blow.
�Our defense let us down,� Hallsville Coach Barry Koeneke said. �A couple of mistakes made� the margin �a lot bigger than it had to be.�
Unable to record two potential outs in the first inning, the Indians allowed Southern Boone to take a 2-0 lead. Brenden Sapp led off the inning with a single and was running on a pitch when Skyler White popped up to second. Strodtman made the catch for the first out, but, when he struggled to get the ball out of his glove, Sapp managed to scramble his way back to first base.
Later in the inning, Sapp was picked off first base but continued running to second and beat the throw from first for a stolen base. With two outs, Augie Begemann drove Sapp home with a double into the left-field corner. Schuermann followed with an RBI single to right.
Hallsville touched Brush for at least one hit in each of the first five innings but didn�t score until the fourth, when Rollins walked, stole second and came around on a single by Spencer Knowles. Hallsville had earlier opportunities to score but came up empty. The Indians had a runner thrown out at home in the first and stranded two baserunners in the third after having the first two batters reach.
�We were hitting the ball well, but he had some bad luck hitting it right at people,� Koeneke said. �We had the table set and just didn�t do anything with it.�
After the Indians scored an unearned run in the top of the sixth with a sacrifice fly by Knowles, Southern Boone added two insurance runs in the bottom half. Dyllon Harper scored on a double-steal, and White added an RBI double off Hallsville reliever Derek Kitch that landed on the right-field line to complete the scoring.
Brush (4-1) finished what he started by striking out the side in the seventh to strand two more Hallsville baserunners. The Indians stranded eight runners total.
�Sometimes he gets loose later in the game,� Southern Boone Coach Tony Phillips said. �I don�t know why. We�ve tried different things with him. I don�t know if his big ol� long legs just take awhile.�

Boys Soccer: Hedgesville shuts out South
By CURT HORNBECKER | firstname.lastname@example.com
September 27, 2012
South Hagerstown boys soccer coach Ryan Myers chose to look at the positive side. Considering his club absorbed a 5-0, non-league drubbing at the hands of Hedgesville in the rain Thursday night, that wasn't the easiest thing to do. "Hedgesville has a good team. They're well-coached, and they're a Triple-A school," said Myers. "In the first half, we were only down by two on an unlucky penalty and an own-goal. We played them pretty even." The second half, however, was a slightly different story.

September 5, 2013
More than 70 people crowded into the Hedgesville fire hall Thursday night to air concerns about making churches pay fire service fees, about how homeowners associations can enforce covenants and the need for more police and emergency services in The Woods development. The gathering was a town hall meeting of the Berkeley County Council. Harriet Kopp, a member of the Gerrardstown Presbyterian Church, said she objects to the April 12, 2012, county council vote to amend the county's 27-year-old fire service fee to include churches.

Fire raced through a building containing a gun business and a motorcycle shop along Baxter Road west of Hedgesville Wednesday morning in Berkeley County, according to a spokesman for the Hedgesville Volunteer Fire Co. When firefighters arrived at the scene, fire was coming through the roof, Lt. Bradley Crowell said in a telephone interview. Battling the blaze was challenging at first, because there were no fire hydrants in the area, Crowell said. But after firefighters established a water source, they were able to get the fire extinguished fairly quickly, he said.

Olubadan, farmer advise Yoruba to return to agriculture
The Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji and a banker-turned farmer, Mr Babatunde Ogunyemi, had called on Yoruba sons and daughters to return to agriculture to stave the lingering economic downturn.
They gave the advice at the ``Lunch with Olubadan'' held at the Conference Hall of Kakanfo Inn, Ibadan, capital of Oyo State.
Adetunji said that the Western region had in the past blossomed with agriculture as its major source of economy.
It was also a great source of livelihood bequeathed unto them by their forefathers, the traditional ruler said.
The monarch said that several past leaders of the region had also achieved tremendously by embracing agriculture with a desire to transform the region.
He stressed the need for the Yoruba people to collectively return to their farmlands, which he said was more profitable in the face of economic crisis.
``We must collectively ensure that the region does not go backward. We are known for playing the pacesetting role in all good areas. We have a rich culture, tradition that is cherished across the globe.
``We are known for being creative, knowledgeable, hardworking, honest, accommodating, enterprising and with the display of high level of morals and humility.
``All these are virtues bequeathed to us by our forefathers as what the Yoruba culture and tradition teach and uphold,'' he said.
Ogunyemi in his lecture titled: ``The Dynamics of Channelling a New Course for Yoruba Entrepreneurship'' also stressed the need for the teeming populace to embrace farming.
He said that the region was blessed with arable land and favourable weather condition to match, apart from other mineral resources.
Ogunyemi, a former England-based banker now turned farmer, said that he returned from the UK to Nigeria to embrace farming and had never regretted the decision.
``I have 150 acres of land used for farming and I have been supplying my produce to corporate bodies and multinationals,'' he said.
The farmer said that there was no community in the country that could boast of food sufficiency, adding that the people should embrace farming to guarantee food security and improved living standard.
``The entrants of commercial motorcyclists, known as `Okada' business, have eroded the interests and commitment of the youths to agriculture because it is no more enterprising to them,'' he said.
Ogunyemi said that farmers could not meet the demand for the supply of vegetable species : `ewedu' and `soko' in the UK , saying they now has high foreign value.
``Today, we export four tonnes of `ewedu' to Europe on weekly basis. When you plant vegetable, it grows into maturity within 45 days and vegetable seeds worth N1,000 will fill an acre of farmland.
`` It is good to note that vegetables harvested from an acre of land have a foreign value of about 2,300 pounds sterling when exported,'' he said.
He advocated the establishment of the King's farm in Ibadan, saying he would be willing to give necessary support as a motivation to the subjects to return to their farmlands.
Similarly, Chief Babajide Ayoade, the facilitator of the programme, stressed the need for the people to team up and collectively channel a new economic course for the region through agriculture.
He said that the programme was targeted at brainstorming on the way forward for the people in the face of the dwindling economic fortunes experienced in the country.
Ayoade also called for the diversification of the nation's economy through agriculture, adding that it was the only sustainable, profitable and economic-propelling sector.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event was attended by several dignitaries that include: Mr Adebayo Adelabu, a Deputy-Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria and Chief Akinade Fijabi, the Asiwaju of Ibadanland.

During a sunny, calm winter day last week before more seasonable foul weather set in, Capt. Blair Perkins stood at the rail of his vessel The Shearwater, welcoming aboard passengers for an �eco-cruise� off the island�s western shore.
For the past four years in early winter, the Maria Mitchell Association and Perkins� Shearwater Excursions have offered seal-watching trips to Muskeget, Nantucket�s westernmost island, where the gray seal is currently breeding.
During this month-long period, Perkins, his sons Max, 17; and Alex, 14; and Bob Kennedy, director of natural sciences at the Maria Mitchell Association, make daily eco-trips, informing everyone aboard not only about the seals, but about many of the different types of birds that they encounter along the way.
After boarding The Shearwater, a sturdy catamaran with an aluminum hull, Perkins gave a brief safety speech and introduced the crew. Trip-goers were encouraged to stand outside as the boat left Nantucket Harbor, as Kennedy made it a point to identify any bird species he saw. Common sightings included black-back and herring gulls, buffleheads, kittiwake, cormorants, scoters, loons and razorbills.
As the boat exited the Jetties, Kennedy discussed the harbor seals that can often be seen sunning themselves on the rocks lining the path to open water.
Once The Shearwater left the harbor it was approximately a 40-minute ride over to Muskeget, several thousand gray seals have flocked to the shores of the otherwise deserted � at this time of year � island. The gray seals� scientific name is Halichoerus grypus and is derived from the Greek words Halios (of the sea), khoiros (pig), and grypos (hook-nosed). The �hooked-nosed pig of the sea� is named for the distinctive shape of the male�s head.
Muskeget is the southernmost-breeding colony for this species. Other colonies include Sable Island, the coasts of Ireland and Great Britain, and closer to home, Monomoy Island off Cape Cod. As the Shearwater drifted off the shore of the island, passengers witnessed all aspects of the breeding process. While watching the seals and their newborn pups, Kennedy answered questions and described the seals� behavior.
The seals breed between early December and late January when large numbers find their way to both Muskeget and Monomoy Island. Kennedy said the seals find Muskeget an ideal place to procreate because the island is essentially uninhabited by man or beast.
�Muskeget is very isolated and there�s very little interference from any other species,� he said. �There are no people and no land species to bother them on the beach. The island is the southern limit of the breeding population of gray seals.�
Gray seals are a large seal species with males growing up to 8 feet long and weighing up to 685 pounds. The male life span is approximately 25 years. Females grow up to seven feet long, weigh between 225 and 400 pounds and can live as long as 35 years. The female seals can bear one pup each year.
Males tend to have dark gray skin with light spots, while females are generally lighter with dark spots. The young pups retain their white coats for several weeks on land before setting out to sea with their mature coloration. The pups are about three feet long and 22-40 pounds at birth, and gain about four to five pounds per day when nursing, Kennedy said. After between 10 days and three weeks of nursing, the mother seals abandon their young, leaving the pups to fend for themselves.
Gray seals feed on bottom-dwelling fish such as pollack, haddock, cod and flounder, as well as lobsters, shrimp, squid and octopus. Because they feed on such commercially valuable fish, and because gray seals have a reputation for damaging fishing equipment, they have historically been viewed as the enemy by fishermen.
Before Congress passed the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972, gray seals were even hunted by fishermen and � in areas with high seal populations � a bounty was offered for every gray seal killed. On Nantucket, a $5 bounty for every seal nose brought in was once provided to fishermen at the Town Pier.
But those days are long gone. Today, hot chocolate is provided on the return trip to warm up passengers as they watch a slideshow of their experience. Perkins � who leads eco-tours from The Shearwater year-round � loves the ocean and said he enjoys sharing his experiences with others, especially children.
�I like getting young kids out here so when they�re older they know what they�re dealing with. It�s a very fragile environment,� he said.

The January transfer window is open, tiresome rumours abound of possible incomings and outgoings and Twitter will no doubt soon be awash with tedious accounts proclaiming they have inside knowledge of every deal.
Instead of looking to the future, however, it's a good time to assess how Manchester City's five summer signings have settled in thus far. The quintet of Martin Demichelis, Fernandinho, Jesus Navas, Stevan Jovetic and Alvaro Negredo all joined the Blues and have played some role in driving City towards the top of the table, but how has each one adapted to the club? Let's take a look.
Starting in defence, Demichelis arrived from Atletico Madrid, despite only having spent two months in the capital after signing from Malaga. He was someone known to Manuel Pellegrini, the pair having been at Malaga together, and the Chilean was happy to acquire the experienced centre-back to provide cover for Vincent Kompany and Matija Nastasic. That cover, due to a series of injuries, has been needed.
Many were sceptical about his signing and it didn't take long to realise Demichelis wasn't blessed with pace, but you don't play over 200 times for Bayern Munich and Argentina without having something about you. And Demichelis has plenty of qualities to admire. His reading of the game, as befits someone of his age, is superb, enabling him to anticipate danger ahead of others. His positional awareness and knowledge of when to push forward and stick tight to an attacker or when to just drop off and protect the box is impressive, and it means that he's very rarely in a one-on-one situation where his lack of pace can be exploited.
On the ball, unlike other centre-backs, he always looks for a positive, meaningful pass. As such, he pushes us forward from the back and with both Kompany and Nastasic missing hefty chunks of the season through injury, his acumen and leadership has been required. He won't receive many plaudits as attention has understandably been focused on our more exciting, attacking stars but his presence in defence has already been important during the campaign and he'll continue to be a useful squad member.
Just ahead of him, Fernandinho is arguably the pick of the new arrivals. He is in the midst of a magnificent debut season for the Blues and as he continues to adapt, he'll only improve. That's a frightening proposition for opposition midfielders. Yet, for the first month or so, there were concerns about him. The most frequent criticism related to how lightweight he was, often brushed off the ball and unable to win it back. He had a tendency to commit to a tackle too easily, leaving large amounts of space behind him as he frantically tried to recover. But that all seems so long ago, such has been the impact he has made since then.
Now, he's almost the complete midfielder. He tackles, he passes, he intercepts, he covers, he darts, he drives, he scores, he runs and he runs some more. Without doubt, he is the engine of the side. He adds dynamism and purpose to a unit which lacked those qualities last season, and although he is overrun at times in the centre due to Yaya Touré refusal to track runners, he has been one of the standout performers from the first half of the season. His brace of goals against Arsenal made outsiders aware of what he can do when given the opportunity to roam forward, but those who watch him every week understand his importance to this City side. Even when others have been rested in cup competitions, he has been deployed to add efficiency and fluency. He's indefatigable, he's immense and how he's not in Brazil's World Cup squad is staggering.
On the wing, Jesus Navas is another who started slowly but has grown over the past couple of months and is now displaying consistent quality. There has been no mention of the homesickness issues which prevented him from moving abroad earlier in his career and he has seemingly adapted well to Manchester, no doubt helped by the presence of his brother who signed in the summer for Bury.
In his early appearances, he was dangerous but inconsistent and defenders quickly realised they could negate much of his threat by forcing him inside onto his left foot, from where he'd have to turn in an ever-increasing circle before passing the ball backwards. However, he is now more comfortable when drifting off the wing and is happy to move all over the front line to influence play. That said, he's at his best when stationed on the right and attacking his fullback, and his ability to beat a man from a standing start and create space for a cross is remarkable. At times, he could be even more direct although Pablo Zabaleta does, on occasions, limit his space with constant bursts forward, but Navas has added much-needed pace and variety to our attacking endeavours. He's not afraid to work defensively, too. What is clear is that he's a top quality player and another who will only improve with time.
It is much more difficult to write about Stevan Jovetic. He has started just three games for the club, one of which he was substituted in after ten minutes, as he has been riddled by a series of niggling injuries. Every time he has been on the verge of recovery, he breaks down once again. It's frustrating for the fans, who would love to see him in action, and it must be incredibly exasperating for himself as he looks to make an impression at a new club. Comments from Pellegrini recently hinted at Jovetic self-diagnosing, rather than doctors being able to find something wrong with him, and that leads to questions of mental frailty, but we can only hope he's back quickly and can start to impose his intelligence on the side.
The final summer acquisition was Alvaro Negredo, acclaimed 'The Beast' by fans who have been hugely impressed by the speed with which he has adapted. Alongside Sergio Aguero, he has formed the perfect partnership. He's physical, aggressive and likes to bully defenders, and he combines those strengths with a delicate touch, vision and a selfless work ethic. If that seems over the top, it really isn't. Watch him in tandem with Aguero and you'll see two players dovetailing magically, both talented individuals but raised to another level by the other.
It's hard to pick out one highlight from Negredo's season so far, such has been his consistent contribution. He scores simple goals and tougher ones, against weaker teams and better ones. He must be a nightmare to defend against with his constant movement and intense pressing, but those same qualities make him the ideal teammate. He has the uncanny ability bring the best out of those around him.
Looking back over those five acquisitions, it is evident that City's dealings in the summer were an overwhelming success. Jovetic aside, the others have all slotted in seamlessly, adding leadership, goals, excitement and energy to the side and helping guide City to a ominously-placed second position. As the Blues compete on four fronts, these players will be at the heart of the push for silverware. And should they continue their early-campaign form, Manuel Pellegrini may well be lifting trophies aplenty come the end of the season.

Foreign Ministry: Azerbaijani side stated that if sober minded politicians came to power then progress in resolution of conflict was possible
Baku, May 17, AZERTAC
"As a result of political crisis when change of government happened in Armenia Azerbaijani side stated that if sober minded politicians came to power then progress in resolution of conflict was possible," said spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Hikmat Hajiyev.
He emphasized that it seems that new ochlocracy regime of Armenia tempts to repeat faults of previous regime?! "Against the background of OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs statement and comments of Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister after Paris meeting MFA of Armenia continues to demonstrate old style destructive position. If press secretary of MFA Armenia who is remnant of Sargysyan's regime makes such futile statements with the instruction of new Foreign Minister then assuredly same fate expects new regime of Armenia."
"Azerbaijan stands for intensive talks to move forward peace talks rather than bringing unrealistic new elements which can only paralyze the entire negotiations. Very soon we will see which path is chosen by Armenia. But everyone must know that Azerbaijan's patience has its limits", Hajiyev added.

James' Take - Pre-orders, DLC and Day One Rewards
We live in a society in gaming where we are constantly reminded how much we are in the pocket of big companies. Hidden within pre-orders, DLC and Day One rewards, you can see the way we fork over large amounts of money for something that hasn't even been completed yet. Why? Rewards.
Yes, I am looking at you Deus Ex. This was scrapped, however, for those not aware, customers were encouraged to pre-order the game, and as the number of global pre-orders went up, new tiers of rewards would unlock, Tier 5 being getting the game 4 days early. Now, I'm no expert, but that's 4 days of development where they could be removing bugs and making the game playable gone because the publishers want your money.
This is even more relevant in games such as (regrettably) some of my favourites of this year such as Black Ops 3, Star Wars Battlefront and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Although not so prevalent in MGS, Black Ops 3 and Star Wars Battlefront had Deluxe Editions available, which offered the season pass and pre-order benefits.
That moves us on to the topic of season passes and pre-order benefits. Season passes are one of the most anti-consumer things that a publisher can release. This encourages a customer that has just paid full price for your brand new game (£40 - £50) and now you want them to pay another £35 - £45 for a guarantee of a few DLCs? No. This is stuff that should be included in the game. Star Wars Battlefront offers a season pass for £40 that gives you four DLCs in the future that we know nothing about yet TWO WEEKS EARLY. A whole two weeks.
Pre-order benefits? Seriously, if I wanted to pay £10 extra for a couple of in game emotes, what would you call me? Exactly.
Pre-orders have evolved from paying a couple of extra pounds to guarentee a game at realese day at your local video games shop to happily handing over money to big companies for extra stuff that should be in the game anyway.
Short answer, I encourage people strongly to stop pre-ordering games. We are in such a habit now of just accepting that games should be pre-ordered and that we need the extra stuff. Just something to think about.
