An estimated 15,000 people lined Wentworth Street today to watch the revived Port Kembla billycart derby.
Dozens of racers tore down the 400m-long run, competing for line honours across seven categories including junior, senior and industrial divisions.
Some carts were getting their first run in more than two decades- the last billy cart derby was held 25 years ago- however others were crafted especially for this year's event.
While the majority of competitors had incident-free runs down the hill, at least three carts failed to make it to the finish line. One cart lost both its left side wheels earlier in the day, while two carts collided and became entangled during the final races when one reportedly hit a seagull.
Neither driver was injured in the crash.
Event organiser Dulcie Dal Molin from Port Kembla's Red Point Artists Association described the day as "unbelievable", saying it felt like she had been "taken back 25 years".
"This is how it used to be," she said.

COLUMBIA — The Senate Ethics Committee today has added to its complaint against Sen. Robert Ford, alleging he intentionally altered copies of documents, including campaign banking records, to deceive the committee.
The new allegation comes in addition to an April complaint accusing Ford of violating seven areas of state ethics law over four years, including using money from his campaign account for personal expenses.
Ford's attorney, Bill Runyon, said the documents referenced by the panel were never intended to be submitted to the committee.

CEO Bill Conlon says reported rape of 14-year-old girl at Brockton facility an isolated incident
BROCKTON – "Disturbing."
That's how parent Nelly Lima described the rape charges against a Brockton Boys & Girls Club counselor on Wednesday. As Lima dropped off her 16-year-old daughter at the facility, she expressed her concern for her daughter's safety in the wake of the charges against 22-year-old Chris Policard.
Policard, a staff member at the time, is accused of sexually assaulting and raping an underage teen inside the club.
"It is crazy, very crazy, especially when you think your kid is safe, while you're at work and you're thinking they're out of the street, (this place is) something that's educational," Lima, 33, said outside the center at 233 Warren Ave. "To hear something like this, it's very disturbing."
The Brockton mother learned about the charges against Policard on Wednesday morning through media reports. She questioned why club officials had not informed parents about the reported sexual assaults and Policard's subsequent firing last month. Policard was arraigned on rape and other charges in Brockton Superior Court on Tuesday.
"Especially where it happened a year ago, why do we hear about it now?" Lima said.
Club officials wanted to wait until the investigation was complete and the case back in the court system, said Bill Conlon, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club and a former city police chief.
The club planned to send a letter to parents within the next day or two, Conlon said.
"We want to reassure the parents that their kids are safe here and that our foremost concern is their safety and well-being and always has been," Conlon said Wednesday. "I'm very confident that the kids are safe here. We had one person that was a problem, and that person has been removed."
Officials believe this is an isolated incident involving just one victim, Conlon said.
Policard, a Brockton native and Roxbury resident, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two counts of aggravated rape and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. The charges relate to alleged incidents at the club in February and September 2013.
Court documents indicate the victim told police that Policard began a relationship with her and that Policard groped her, molested her and had her perform oral sex twice, among other graphic sexual acts, in a back stairwell of the club, while the club was open.
Policard denied having any sexual contact with the alleged victim when detectives interviewed him on Dec. 2, court documents show. He was held on $75,000 bail with surety or $7,500 cash bail after his arraignment Tuesday. His next court date is July 14.
If released, Policard is ordered to stay away from the victim, from children under 16 and from the Boys & Girls Club.
Brockton attorney Jason Benzaken, who is representing Policard, did not return calls for comment.
Some members of the Brockton Boys & Girls Club board of directors, including Janice Beyer and Gerard Nadeau, could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Board member Barry Koretz said he could not comment because he was not familiar with the case.
Board member David Reservitz also declined comment, saying he needed the board's permission to comment.
Policard was fired from his part-time position of youth counselor, a job he held for about three years, after he was indicted by a Plymouth County grand jury on May 30, Conlon said. He was initially suspended without pay after club officials learned about the allegations last fall, he said.
City officials are calling for greater vigilance in youth programs to keep children safe after learning about the Boys & Girls Club case.
"It goes to show that when you work with children or when you a run an organization that serves children, you always have to be vigilant," said Ward 2 School Committee member Andrew Robinson, in whose ward the club is located. "There's some responsibility to constant vigilance."
Founded in 1988, the nonprofit Boys & Girls Club of Brockton provides after-school programs to local children ages 8 to 18. The club has about 1,000 members and about 200 children attend daily.
Ward 2 City Councilor Tom Monahan agreed more supervision is needed at the inner-city Brockton facility.
"It's a shame. I don't know how much supervision there is or what the rules of supervision are," Monahan said. "I never heard of a problem there before. They may have to rethink how they supervise children."
Conlon said the agency has since met with staffers and installed cameras in the stairwell where the incidents reportedly occurred.
"Everybody has been asked to be on high alert at all times for anything that seems suspicious and to avoid one-on-one isolated contact, that it can't be," Conlon said.
A spokesman for Mayor Bill Carpenter said Carpenter was waiting to be briefed on the case by police and that the mayor was not prepared to comment on Wednesday.
A co-founder of the Boys & Girls Club, former Brockton Mayor John T. Yunits shared his concerns for the alleged victim. He hopes this negative situation can be turned into a positive by bringing awareness to the problem of sexual assaults.
"The sexual assaults, they're out of control and, hopefully, this will become an important issue that we have to talk about," Yunits said.
Yunits said the case "shouldn't taint the overall mission of the club."
"It serves such a great need for the community," said Councilor-at-large Moises Rodrigues, who visited the club for a basketball tournament on Mother's Day.
"All we can do is be supportive and also see what we can do to get the club to mend whatever damages were created by this incident ... to help it move forward," Rodrigues said.

Thunder Mountain High School senior Dylan Johnson threw eight innings and classmate Patrick Millay scored on junior Gus Swanton's single as the Falcons earned their first win of the 2013 season with a 3-2 outing over the North Pole Patriots at Sitka on Friday.
Johnson struck out 10 on 102 pitches with 72 strikes in the extra inning game. He had 1 walk and 1 hit batter. Patrick Millay pitched the ninth inning for the save.
North Pole took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a base hit, a fielding error and a fielder's choice that scored a run. A double scored the second run of the game.
"We struggled to make adjustments off of their pitchers," TMHS coach Matt Greely said. "But I was pleased to see our defense and our pitching keep us in the game."
TMHS' Finn Collins scored the Falcons' first run. Collins singled to right center in the third inning and Millay tripled him home.
The Falcons scored their second run with a safety squeeze. Swanton was on third and Johnson on first and Brian Mielke bunted towards the first base and pitcher's side and all runners were safe.
The Falcons did strand 12 runners, and had nine hits, six walks and scored three runs, and five North Pole errors. North Pole had three hits, one walk, with two errors and six left on.
"It was a credit to their pitching," Greely said of North Pole. "They pitched well when we had runners on base and it kept them in the game."
Sophomore Jake Macaulay started behind the plate, senior Taylor Peterson on first freshman Finn Collins on second, sophomore Stefan Beedle at third, sophomore Jared Markovich at shortstop, sophomore Collin Ludeman in left field, senior Patrick Millay at center, and sophomore Reece Milks in right.
The Falcons scored in the top of the eighth for a 3-2 advantage. Millay singled and stole second base and reached third on a fielder's choice. Swanton singled him in.
Millay faced North Pole's 4,5, and 6 hitters. The first batter ground out to Jackson Pavitt at third, the second hit to Jared Markovich at shortstop. Millay then walked a batter who stole second and earned third on a wild pitch. A pitch hit the next batter but Millay settled in and struck out the final batter for the save.
Millay went 3-3 with two singles, a triple, one RBI, two walks and three stolen bases. Millay also played centerfield, catcher and pitcher.
"He made an impact for us for sure," Greely said.
Collins went 2-5 with 2 singles; Taylor Peterson 1-2 with a single and walk in his first varsity game and played noteworthy defense, getting 10 put outs at first base;
Millay had four put outs; and Johnson four put outs on hits back to the mound.
"That was the longest outing Dylan has had in his high school career," Greely said. "He earned the win for sure."
On Saturday the Falcons lost to Sitka 8-7. Sitka had eight runs on 10 hits with one error and eight runners left on base. TMHS had seven runs with 12 hits, 11 runners stranded and one error.
Markovich went 3-5 with three base hits; Millay was 2-5 with a single and double, Matt Cunningham 2-5 with two singles.
Pavitt started the game and went four innings, throwing 65 pitches (35 for strikes) and gave up three earned runs. He struck out one and had two walks with five hits.
Markovich went two-and-two-thirds innings, throwing 59 pitches (38 for strikes) and gave up three runs, one earned, with seven strikeouts and two walks.
"It was an excellent ball game," Greely said. "It was a really back and forth ball game and we learned a lot about our team from that game. It was a classic Thunder Mountain and Sitka game."
The game was tied 5-5 going into the top of the seventh.
Johnson worked a walk to lead off the inning. Taylor Peterson came in as a pinch runner and Brian Mielke moved him over with a bunt. With two outs Cunningham hit a clutch hit to right that gave the Falcons a 6-5 lead. Markovich singled to make it 7-5. Sitka scored three runs in the bottom of the inning for the win.
Earlier on Saturday the Falcons topped North Pole 10-0.
The Patriots had one hit and four runners left on. TMHS had 10 runs, 9 hits and one error with nine left on base. The game went just five innings by the mercy rule.
Cunningham went 2-3 at the plate, Swanton 2-2 with three RBI's, Mielke went 1-3, and Jacob Macaulay went 1-1 with 2 RBI's.
Swanton started and went all five innings, giving up a no hitter in the last inning, throwing 85 pitches (48 strikes) with six strikeouts and just one hit and five walks.
Millay threw out two runners from the catcher position and one from the center field position. Taylor Peterson had a solid defensive weekend as well.
"He is really progressing and showing a lot of promise," Greely said. "Overall our team responded very well to the different game situations."
The Falcons next games are on April 26-27 in Sitka. Three games will be against Sitka and count towards the region, and two games will be played against Dimond.

Confusion surrounds Becks after AFL claim
David Beckham has denied he will be playing in Australia during the MLS off-season after reports linked him with a move to the A-League.
Football Federation Australia released a statement on Friday confirming that Beckham's management had expressed interest in joining the A-League next month, but a spokesperson for the 37-year-old has dismissed the rumours.
"[There is] always enormous interest from clubs across the world in signing David," a member of the Beckham camp told Sky Sports News. "[There are] absolutely no plans to play in Australia. David is completely focussed on the MLS play-offs and winning another Championship with the Galaxy."
The comments are a complete contradiction to the FFA's reports that they had made contact with "an agent representing the management" of Beckham.
"The approach from David Beckham's people is another sign of how much the Hyundai A-League has grown in stature on a global basis," the FFA statement said. "Beckham is a superstar on the world stage and he would be another massive signing for the Hyundai A-League after the arrivals of Alessandro Del Piero, Emile Heskey and Shinji Ono. But this approach remains at a very preliminary stage."
Melbourne Heart and Perth Glory expressed interest in signing the midfielder on Friday and the FFA was believed to be ready to help broker a deal.

Thanksgiving Day may find you brimming with an attitude of gratitude or struggling to find a blessing to count.
For these three McHenry County families, the scale tips decidedly in gratitude's favor. In sharing their tales, your holiday, too, may be brightened.
The greatest gift
It's been 16 years since Don Reinboldt received the call that changed everything.
"I do think about it every day because, honestly, I'm so lucky," the 61-year-old McHenry resident said.
In 1996, Reinboldt, who suffered from primary sclerosing cholangitis and spent nine months on a liver transplant waiting list, received the organ of a college freshman who died in a freak accident. The young man suffered fatal head trauma in a fall from his college dorm loft bed.
"I got his liver, and I think there were six or seven other people who also got organs," Reinboldt said, adding that he and his wife of 37 years, Judy, have kept in touch with the parents of his donor, Dave and Linda Carlson of Wisconsin. Their son's name was Christopher.
Like all transplant recipients, Reinboldt must adhere to a strict regimen of anti-rejection and other medicines. He downs about a dozen pills a day, at least one of which has caused a kidney ailment, but that problem now is in check, Reinboldt said.
And thanks to Christopher's gift, Reinboldt has enjoyed attending the weddings of his daughters, Melissa Grams, 34, and Stephanie Leao, 32, and revels in spending time with his preschool-age grandchildren, Makenna, Mason and Logan.
Reinboldt, co-owner of R&S Distributors of McHenry, said he is extremely grateful to the Carlsons, and also is thankful for his wife, who cared for him throughout his illness and recovery.
As the Reinboldts gather today with in-laws, children and grandchildren, doctors, too, will be included in Reinboldts' Thanksgiving Day thoughts.
"I am so grateful that there are such dedicated medical personnel who know what they're doing," he said.
"Because Don is doing so well, you tend to forget on a daily basis how sick he was," his wife said. "But then you think of the donor family, and they're living every day without their son. It's a bittersweet thing.
"It's important for us to remember that – how fortunate we are."
One of the ways the Reinboldts honor Chris' memory is to support the Donna Frett Organ Donation Foundation. Frett, also of McHenry and also a transplant recipient, hosts an annual golf outing to raise awareness and help defray recipients' medical costs.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 18 people die each day waiting for an organ, and 116,575 are on waiting lists. One donor can save as many as eight lives.
An undaunted spirit
In the past year, 23-year-old Erin Tunison has counted a lot of firsts.
She enjoyed a weekend fishing trip to Hayward, Wis., learned to scuba dive, and climbed a rock wall. The busy young woman from Prairie Grove also regularly participates in a choir and frequently goes horseback riding.
She is among the first to participate in a new Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association program called LIFE, or Leisure Increases Freedom and Enjoyment, geared toward young, disabled adults transitioning out of high school district programming.
Tunison, the daughter of Mike and Pam Tunison, was born with cerebral palsy. She uses a wheelchair and although she struggles to speak, her comprehension lacks nothing.
After returning to the NISRA office in Crystal Lake from an outing to see the play "Peter Pan" with other LIFE members, Tunison and her mother talked about some of their favorite things.
The fingers of her' right hand running over the screen of a white iPad, Tunison opened picture after picture. In one, she looked up from the water wearing full scuba gear. In another, she leaned toward the water from a boat deck, fishing pole in hand.
"I caught a bass," she said, her head swaying a bit as she turned to make eye contact.
Up went each hand above her shoulders, her smile beaming, when asked the size of the fish.
Tunison received NISRA's 2012 Courage Award for her eagerness always to try new things, said Sarah Holcombe, manager of communication and marketing for NISRA.
Pam Tunison said her spirited daughter's quality of life is greatly enhanced by volunteers and organizations, including Main Stay Therapeutic Riding, Diveheart, Fishing Has No Boundaries, "and, of course, NISRA."
Later-life discovery
The message arrived in Pete Merkel's email box July 6.
"Hi," it said. "My name is Marilyn Merkel Riep and my daughter and I have been looking into our ancestry. Are you related to [an] Edna Merkel by chance? Would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you, Marilyn."
"It was kind of just out of the blue," said Merkel, McHenry's Parks and Recreation director and a retiring County Board member who will turn 60 this month.
Edna was, in fact, Merkel's grandmother, who was married for a time in the late 1920s and early '30s to a Joseph Merkel, Pete Merkel's biological grandfather – and Marilyn Merkel Riep's father.
Merkel's father, "Big Pete," died of a heart attack when Pete and his siblings were young. And of an original five, Pete, his brother, Rick, and their sister, Candy, already have mourned the deaths of a brother, Tom, and sister, Lynne.
The family occasionally wondered whether the grandfather they never knew had remarried and had other children.
Now they know, and a big Merkel reunion is in the planning stages for next summer, including the heretofore unknown Merkels of Wood Dale and Ohio.
"We all had our curiosities about it," Rick Merkel said, recalling that he learned as a teen that Joe Mayer was not his biological grandfather. "But you didn't think about, well, OK, how do I find this person?"
Rick Merkel, who is 54, said he is grateful that his half-cousin, Suzanne Ogilbee of Powell, Ohio, dug into her ancestry, turning up clues that led her to provide his brother Pete Merkel's email address to her mother, Marilyn.
Rick, his cousin, Jim Merkel, and Jim's wife, Melody, traveled to Wood Dale in October to meet Marilyn, who lives near Columbus, Ohio, and Marilyn's sister, Claudia, who lives in Wood Dale.
"We sat and talked for two or three hours, sharing pictures and birth certificates and marriage certificates," Rick Merkel said.
The aunts also brought along a recording they had made of their father, Rick's grandfather.
"To hear his voice and hear him playing the piano was kind of cool," Rick Merkel said.
Future family gatherings will be richer, all because Suzanne Ogilbee, who started doing a simple family tree for her daughter's baby book two years ago, became hooked on ancestry.com.
"My original intention was to complete the tree only up through my grandparents," she said. "However, I became fascinated with all of the information I was uncovering and couldn't stop."

Should I go the way of the younger, possibly smarter, sibling and just un-friend my mom to avoid this problem?
I'd defriend her, and tell her we'll try again when she's a little better at FB etiquette, including not airing personal arguments in public for all to see.I'm also a little at the fact that you've graduated college, no longer live at home, but your mom still gets to tell you that you are going to feed her cats, rather than asking for it as a favor, with advance notice.

PROVIDENCE, RI (RNN) - Circus performances in Providence, RI, were suspended on Sunday after an aerial act went wrong.
According to the Providence Journal, several performers with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus were performing an eight-person hair-hanging and motorcycle high wire act when they fell to the ground at the Dunkin Donuts Center on Sunday, striking a dancer below.
Reports say 11 people were admitted to Rhode Island Hospital and one patient is in critical condition. The acrobats fell about 20 to 40 feet, according to The Associated Press.
Those watching the show were stunned at what they witnessed.
"Well it took me maybe a good 35 seconds just to finally realize what just happened, and the entire place was in complete chaos at that time," Sean Bergeron, a witness, told CNN.
Othello Smith told the Providence Journal that performers were doing an aerial act on ropes or cables and then dropped.
A video filmed by an apparent attendee to the circus shows the accident. WARNING: The video may be disturbing to some.
The video shows an umbrella-shaped rig lifting the women in the air when it suddenly plummets to the ground. Performers seemed stunned and a gasp can be heard from the crowd.
Fire department rescue units were on the scene at the time of the incident.
"This apparatus has been used for multiple performances each week since this show launched back in January. Each and every time that we come to a new venue, all of the equipment that's used by this group of performers as well as all the other performers is carefully inspected," Stephen Payne, vice president of corporate communications at Feld Entertainment, said in an interview with CNN. Feld Entertainment is a production company that operates the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey have been a part of Feld Entertainment since 1967. They set the stage for Feld Entertainment to become its own company.
According to the AP, a Ringling aerial performer died after falling 30 feet during a performance in St. Paul, MN. It was the first accidental death involving a Ringling performer in 10 years.

On Tuesday, June 14, at 9 p.m., KLRU will air award-winning director Lydia Nibley's moving documentary, Two Spirits. It was recently the last film in this season's Community Cinema screenings. Using reenactments and interviews, Nibley presents a portrait of a 16-year-old Navajo, Fred Martinez, from his early years immersed in his people's traditional culture in the rural West to his life as a rambunctious high school student in the small town of Cortez, Colorado. It is the story of his life as a nadleehi, a "feminine man" revered by traditional Navajos as a balance of the masculine and feminine in nature. He (I'm using the pronoun favored in the film) can also be understood as a "two-spirit" person, integrating the male and female genders, or as a transgendered person whose gender identity differs from the sex assigned at his birth. However we define Martinez, he fully embraced his identity, standing at the crossroads of male and female, Navajo and mainstream America. Yet, as two-spirit activist Richard (Anguksuar) LaFortune notes, "The place where two discriminations meet is a dangerous place to be." Two Spirits sensitively recounts the prejudice and hate the resilient Martinez faced everyday. Ultimately, this hate culminated in his brutal murder at the hands of 18-year-old Shaun Murphy, who later bragged that he had "beat up a fag." Prosecutors hesitated to charge Murphy with a hate crime. Eventually, he pled guilty to second-degree murder and received a 40-year sentence.
Martinez's mother, Pauline, asks at one point, "Why are people killed for being who they are?" As Nibley tells Fred's story, she sets out to answer his mother's question. The director squarely places the blame on Western culture, particularly Christianity, and its dualist concept of gender. Rooted in a literalist reading of Genesis, it claims that people are only male and female, and nothing in between. Nibley contrasts this with an explication of the Navajo understanding of four genders, ranging from the asdzaan, or "feminine woman," to the nadleehi. Mainstream Americans and Christianized Navajos, she suggests, lack a nuanced understanding of gender and so respond with hostility to transgendered people. Such sweeping generalizations, however, are a major problem for Two Spirits.
While rightly criticizing certain Christian churches for their narrow and damaging understandings of gender and sexuality, Nibley broadly paints all of Western culture as a two-dimensional villain, a straw man set up only to be knocked down. History, however, provides evidence of a more complicated understanding in the West than she offers. Nibley could've mentioned, for example, the "Boston marriage" in nineteenth-century America. Here, two women would live in the same household, with one taking the traditionally masculine role and wearing men's clothing. Such relationships were more common than many today realize and were often tolerated, looked upon with everything from humor to affection by their neighbors. In setting up this straw man, then, the film effectively obliterates the lives of LGBTQ people from Western history, a history that scholars and activists have long struggle to reclaim. Furthermore, Nibley fails to comment on or provide evidence of the growing acceptance of transgendered people among other contemporary Americans.
The point is that a more nuanced approach might have greatly helped Nibley in answering the question, "Why are people killed for being who they are?" She never fully explores Murphy's motivations in the killing. In fact, her film presents them as fairly murky. She leaves the viewer to conclude instead that the influence of Western dualism lies behind such deeds. Yet, Nibley nowhere draws a direct connection between that and the killer. She doesn't provide evidence that Murphy was Christian, for example. A drug dealer, he doesn't seem to be someone who takes the teachings of Christianity—right or wrong—very seriously. We know that not every Christian hates transgendered people, let alone publically insults or even kills them. Something more had to be behind the killing. By delving more deeply into that problem and spending less time on broad generalizations, Nibley probably could've made her sparse account of the murder and Murphy's plea bargain weightier, more insightful and more helpful.
An even greater problem for Nibley is her apparent equation of being transgendered with being gay or lesbian. While it is true that Martinez was attracted to men, this isn't the case for every transgendered person. Being transgendered is as much or more a matter of gender identity than sexual attraction. There are men who are married, identify as transgendered and often express that by dressing in women's clothing. Sometimes the wife is aware; sometimes she isn't. (Just last year, at another Community Cinema screening, I met a man who occasionally assumes a feminine identity and who is openly and happily supported by his wife.) If equating gender identity with sexual orientation is part of the Navajo tradition, perhaps Nibley could've made that clearer. However, the concept of the nadleehi is so nuanced that I wonder if that is the case. By making transgendered synonymous with gay, Nibley limits our understanding of and does a disservice to the transgendered community.
In sum, then, Nibley misses an important opportunity to present an important story with the nuance and insight that her subject calls for. Fred Martinez was a beautiful, wonderful, strong person who lived bravely at the crossroads of two prejudices. I encourage everyone to watch Two Spirits for his story. Yet, his tragic end is couched in broad, paper-thin generalizations that may actually do more harm than good. So I also encourage everyone to avoid accepting Nibley's wholly unsatisfying answer to Pauline's question "Why are people killed for being who they are?"

Thanks for your concern. Yeah, the stress was a direct result of barely being able to walk for two days. Unfortunately, the bun in the oven is playing havoc on my spine and sciatic nerve. I have a physical therapy appt. at 8:30 tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to good results from that. I also got the name of a chiropractor who works with pregnant women, so that will be my next stop if the PT doesn't work. Still, I think it's all worth it to get to meet my daughter in a few months!

A defiant Harry Redknapp has claimed Queens Park Rangers will retain their Premier League status this season despite seeing his side thrashed at home by Liverpool to leave them eight points from safety and bottom at the turn of the year.
QPR shipped three goals in the opening half-hour to a visiting team denied the presence of their own manager, Brendan Rodgers, by a bout of the norovirus, with Luis Suárez running riot. Redknapp admitted afterwards that certain members of his squad had "miserable faces too often" with José Bosingwa, who refused to sit on the bench in the recent derby against Fulham, now apparently "injured".
Attempts will be made to move on disaffected players though, if reinforcements can be added, the manager is convinced QPR will survive. "I still think we'll stay up," said Redknapp. "People will think I'm mad, but I think we will. I only want positive players around me. I said that in the dressing room after the match. Those who are moping around … the subs are not playing because they're no good. If they were any good, I'd be picking them. I don't need miserable faces, I don't need them around me. I need people who are upbeat because the next two games are unbelievable, Chelsea away and Tottenham at home … two of the best teams in the country. But we've got to keep going and I still think we'll do it.
"I know what the problems are. You need to have everyone working as a team together. If one or two don't buy into it, you have a problem. A few have miserable faces too often for some reason. If there are people who don't want to be here, as soon as the window opens we'll see if we can fix something up for them if we can, but it's not easy moving people on. Bosingwa's injured, he has been ever since the day he wasn't on the bench [against Fulham]. Not fit to train. But I've had a good chat with the players, a meeting, and they'll be in on Monday and we start again. You don't give up."
QPR have games at West Ham United and against Manchester City after the two daunting derbies to come – they visit Stamford Bridge on Wednesday – with only one win to show from 20 league games. The owner, Tony Fernandes, took to Twitter on Sunday evening in his post-match despair as the soul-searching continued: "No excuse. Lost for words. Back to the drawing board. Woeful performance. When we signed all those players. Everyone was full of praise. No one thought we would be in such a mess. Not over yet though."
Yet the reality was that Rangers were outclassed by Suárez and Liverpool – who lost José Enrique to a slight hamstring tear before the end – with Redknapp's team well beaten for the first time under his stewardship. "You look at the quality of their players, and they're a club who've spent £200m on their players and we couldn't get near them," said the manager. "They ran us ragged. Suarez has been doing that against everyone this year, he's one of the top half dozen strikers in the world, and my centre-halves – both 35 – gave everything they've got."
Asked about strengthening in the mid-winter window, Redknapp added: "Well, if we can find the right players, get one or two in to make the difference, get Bobby Zamora fit to give us a target up there … he could make a difference, Bobby. This was the first time we've had a 'doing' but I just believe we will [stay up]. I just feel we can still turn it round, if we can get one or two in now. It can still make the difference and we can do that."

Electronic parts supplier BizLink Holding Inc (貿聯), which will be included in the Taiwan index of the MSCI Global Small Cap Indices later this month, is expected to see revenue grow 5 percent this quarter from last quarter on increased orders for components used in games consoles and servers, analysts said.
Falling copper prices will also provide positive input to the firms's share price in the near term, after market frenzy about the firm's electric car business cooperation with Tesla Motors Inc evaporated following reports about three fires involving Tesla's Model S in five weeks, they said.
Analysts' remarks came after BizLink, which supplies wire harnesses to Tesla, released its latest sales figure last week, which showed the firm's revenue totaled NT$5.82 billion (US$197 million) in the first 10 months of the year, up 20.64 percent year-on-year and larger than the whole of last year's NT$5.7 billion.
Revenue for the October-to-December period is likely to reach NT$1.92 billion (US$64.8 million), an increase of 5.5 percent from the NT$1.82 billion during the last quarter, Yuanta Securities Co (元大證券) analyst Liu Szu-liang (劉思良) said yesterday in a client note.
However, Taishin Securities Investment Advisory Co (台新投顧) analyst Sun Chuan-shu (孫傳恕) said that revenue would increase just 0.5 percent sequentially to NT$1.83 billion, after signs of a slowdown in clients' orders, although the company has secured orders of server components from Dell Inc to help improve its product mix and profit margin, according to a separate note.
Liu said that the price of copper has declined 15 percent this year, pushing down BizLink's raw materials to manufacturing cost ratio to 50 percent in the first half from 70 percent last year.
BizLink, which also produces electrical connectors and cable assemblies for consumer electronics and computer products, saw its share price rise 1.88 percent to NT$108.5 yesterday.
Its stock has jumped 223.88 percent since the beginning of the year, compared with the broader market's 6.27 percent increase over the same period, mainly lifted by Tesla's stock price increase this year.
BizLink has worked with Tesla, the world's largest electric vehicle maker, for seven years and was one of 14 companies that won an excellent partner award from the US firm last month.
However, over the past month, BizLink has seen its share price correct by nearly 8.8 percent, underperforming the TAIEX's 2 percent rise.
Liu said that this was because investors have come to the conclusion that electric vehicles seem to be losing their appeal. This was evidenced in Tesla's weakening sales momentum.
Moreover, the electric car business accounts for a modest 3 percent of BizLink's total annual revenue, he said.
BizLink reported NT$270.2 million in net profit during the first half of the year, or NT$3.58 per share, compared with NT$138 million, or NT$2.07 per share, during the same period of last year, the company's data showed.
Yuanta forecast that the company would report revenue of NT$7.11 billion and net profit of NT$657 million, or NT$8.28 per share, this year. That is higher than Taishin's estimates of NT$7.03 billion in revenue and NT$7.72 in earnings per share.
For next year, Yuanta said revenue will grow to NT$7.93 billion, with net profit of NT$785 million, or NT$9.89 per share, compared with revenue of NT$8.07 billion and EPS of NT$10.84 forecast by Taishin.

A suspicious envelope sent to Deutsche Bank chief executive Josef Ackermann was a letter bomb capable of exploding, investigators said on Thursday.
No one has so far claimed responsibility for the package, which was intercepted late on Wednesday.
It raised fears that a wave of protest against the failures and excesses of bankers could turn more violent, and prompted police across Europe to warn banks to be extra vigilant.
Ackermann, 63, a Swiss who is the first non-German to head Germany's biggest bank, is one of the few senior managers in the country always surrounded by bodyguards.
"Initial investigations show that this was an operational letter bomb," the Criminal Investigations Office for the state of Hesse and Frankfurt prosecutors in a statement, adding that no further information was available.
Frankfurt's offshoot of the Occupy protest movement, which is critical of banks and has been staging protests in New York, Washington, London and many other cities, said it had nothing to do with the attempted attack.
"We condemn any action that is linked to violence," said Frank Stegmaier, an activist in the Occupy Frankfurt group, which has been camping outside the European Central Bank towers in the German financial capital since mid-October.
"Occupy has other ways of protesting," he added.
Security has been stepped up at Deutsche Bank offices around the world, banking sources said, while police elsewhere in Europe warned banks to be extra vigilant.
Two Greek commercial banks said they had already been operating under top security conditions after similar letter bomb incidents last year.
One banking source said that since 2006 every item of mail sent to members of Deutsche Bank's executive committee was put through a security check.
Deutsche Bank employees heading to work said they did not feel threatened.
"There are always people who think a solution would be to make someone pay, but as an employee, I do not feel threatened," Stefan Popp told Reuters Television.
European Union leaders were to meet in Brussels on Thursday and Friday to try to agree on a way out of a eurozone sovereign debt crisis that has triggered a wave of austerity programmes around Europe and prompted Germans to fret that they may have to foot the bill.
Ackermann is the highest paid chief executive of a German blue-chip company, earning 9 million euros ($12 million) in 2010. He is chairman of the Institute of International Finance, the bank lobbying group negotiating a private-sector contribution toward a multibillion euro bailout of Greece.
Due to retire in May next year after over 10 years at the head of Deutsche, he is credited with transforming the bank into a "global champion," and has become associated with Wall Street-style bonuses and a shareholder-driven management style.
Last month, Ackermann was whistled and shouted at by Occupy Movement members during a speech in the city of Hamburg.
A previous Deutsche Bank head, Alfred Herrhausen, was murdered in 1989 by leftist Red Army Faction guerrillas who blew up his car.

EU receives Nobel Peace Prize
- Associated Press
- December 10, 2012 - 3:18 AM
OSLO, Norway - European leaders are in Norway to collect the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded to the European Union for fostering peace on a continent ravaged by war.
Nobel committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland will present the prize, worth $1.2 million, at a ceremony in Oslo City Hall later Monday. Some 20 European government leaders are to attend the ceremonies and an evening banquet.
This year's prize comes against a backdrop of protests as the EU grapples with its worst financial crisis, which is causing deep tensions within the union, soaring unemployment and requiring massive austerity measures.
Nobel laureates in medicine, chemistry, physics and literature will be feted at similar ceremonies in the Swedish capital, Stockholm. The ceremonies are always held on the anniversary of award founder Alfred Nobel's death in 1896.

Mac|Life reports via "a source" that OS X 10.5.7 will be seeded to everyone's Software Update on friday. With the development of OS X 10.5.7 seemingly winding down we're hoping that Snow Leopard 10.6.* in all its Grand-Central-multi-core-optimization-OpenGL-tons-of-RAM-make-everything-fly goodness is right around the corner (perhaps at WWDC in June).
If you've been champing at the bit for the magic of 10.5.7, according to a super-secret Apple source, your champing can cease on Friday. The newest version of Leopard is slated to fix a slew of networking, syncing and bluetooth issues.

Data Masking And Data Encryption
Data-protection products should support both data-masking and encryption technologies, Dataguise said. Organizations also can choose point products for each remediation technique, but it can be a challenge if the implementation involves keeping both masked and unmasked versions of sensitive data in separate Hadoop directories. Data masking obscures sensitive data elements within data stores with false information, but keeps it meaningful for the application logic. For accuracy, masking must be consistent across all data files. Determine whether business analytic needs require access to real data or if desensitized data can be used, Dataguise said.

Jason Cook, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Texas A&M University, was named the 2012 International Brand Master today. This international award, now in its fourth year, is presented annually to an exemplary educational brand manager by Educational Marketing Group, Inc. (EMG). Mr. Cook took the top honor for his ability to implement a strong and consolidated academic and athletic brand.
Before I go on and if you wish, please take a moment and send your note(s) of congratulations to Mr. Cook on this outstanding achievement in the comments section below. We will be sure to alert him of your messages.
Mr. Cook assisted in transforming Texas A&M University from a longstanding all-male military school perception to the vibrant brand image of a well-known and thriving top-20 research institution. He leveraged the growing national fame of freshman football star Johnny Manziel and the buzz surrounding the quarterback's Heisman Trophy candidacy to effectively showcase the University brand.
Mr. Cook placed the University's athletics at the top of the brand pyramid together with its academics brand, enabling the University's message of academic excellence to reach numerous fans each time its sports teams, particularly the football team, took the field. He brought together the University President, Board of Regents, marketing, communications, media relations, licensing and creative teams to work as an integrated group to build a massively successful brand.
This process began with University's transition from the Big 12 Conference to the wider exposure of the Southeastern Conference, which led to numerous opportunities for Mr. Cook and his team to expose the world to the traditions that make Texas A&M University a unique brand.
"Jason understood that this move was meant to expand our brand nationally in all areas – to introduce the country to our top-tier academics and research, and our rich history and traditions, as well as athletics," said R. Bowen Loftin, President of Texas A&M University.
The brand strategy, led by Mr. Cook, has seen amazing results over the last year. Texas A&M University rose from 15th to second in Washington Monthly's rankings of universities that contribute significantly to society. Kiplinger named Texas A&M University as number one in the state and in the top 25 schools for best value. The University's 34,000 freshman applications for 2012 was a new school record. Texas A&M University is already on pace to break the freshman application record again by several thousand in 2013. Amazing results were also seen in their social media networks, licensing revenues, media exposures and mobile apps. The University made the Top 10 Facebook Brands by Engagement Rate listings and ranked among Klout's Top 10 Most Influential Colleges.
"I am honored to represent Texas A&M and our marketing and communications team with the International Brand Master Award, and I appreciate the vote of confidence from the selection committee and the thousands who submitted votes as part of the process," said Mr. Cook. "Our ultimate goal is to build Texas A&M into one of the top brands in the country, and we made tremendous progress in this regard over the past year. From an innovative content marketing strategy to our continued social media leadership, as well as our transition to the Southeastern Conference with a Heisman Trophy winner, we truly believe that Texas A&M has captured the nation's attention."
Mr. Cook competed against two other strong finalists to win top honors in the International Brand Master competition. Dr. David Willows from The International School of Brussels in Brussels, Belgium, and Justin Roy from William Peace University in Raleigh, N. C. were runners up. Mr. Cook was up against an initial field of 15 exceptional nominees, twelve of whom hailed from the United States, one from England, one from Australia, and one from Belgium.
"We are thrilled and honored that a professional of the caliber of Jason Cook has been named the 2012 International Brand Master." said Bob Brock, President of Educational Marketing Group of Parker, Colo., and the sponsor of the competition. "Mr. Cook has had an outstanding impact on the venerable Texas A&M brand, and his combination of strategic thinking and tactical skill inspire us all."
Colleagues in education branding will be able to hear from Mr. Cook as EMG will honor his success with a series of guest blogs and video interviews during the coming months.
For more information on the 2012 International Brand Master, Jason Cook, the judges and the nominees, see: http://emgonline.com/ibm-award/2012-master/.
Again, please take a moment and send your note(s) of congratulations to Mr. Cook on this outstanding achievement in the comments section below. We will be sure to alert him of your messages.

Breathe blows off Biscit deal
No other suitors yet
Posted in Business, 13th March 2007 17:38 GMT
Breathe's rescue of Biscit Internet is off, the would-be rescuer announced this afternoon.
Breathe Networks stepped in last week with an offer to buy up the customer base of Biscit, just days after the London-based ISP slipped into administration. Last Friday Breathe said it hoped to ensure a "smooth migration with no downtime or disruption for customers.
By this afternoon, it seemed a spanner had been lodged firmly in the works, with Breathe saying the deal was off due to "a number of legal and commercial issues between Biscit (currently in administration) and its suppliers."
Breathe added it would still be delighted to take on Biscit customers, but it was "prohibited from contacting them directly".
Tony Thompson, of Piper Thompson, Biscit's administrator, confirmed the deal had fallen down this afternoon. He said there were no other suitors at this stage.
This does not bode well for Biscit customers, who have been "hung out to dry," one Reg reader complained. "We have no means of getting a MAC from Breathe or BISCit and BT just state we should contact our supplier - great news, eh?."
In the UK, the Migration Authorisation Code (MAC) is a unique identifier used by consumers to switch broadband ISPs. The existing service provider cannot withhold an authorisation code to enforce debt collection or contractual rights. So at first sight, Biscit's administrators should have the right to transfer MACs to whoever they choose.
We shall have an update tomorrow. ®

The serious actor has straight hair
This is Justin Timberlake in Puerto Rico on the set of his new movie Runner, Runner, hair straightened and parted. Is this the formula? When JT's in a comedy he can keep the natural curl. If it's drama or action, we relax that sh-t or buzz it off. There's your key to understanding JT's character development.
Really curious to see how he'll wear it on wedding day. Does he leave it all springy with the spirals? Will it be like this? Or will he take it down close to the scalp? And does she get a choice at all? Please. When does she ever get a choice between them?

SYCAMORE – What started as a 20-page report for Northern Illinois University student Clint Cargile turned into a 220-page book about Sycamore's railroad history.
Cargile is the author of the book, "Five-Mile Spur Line: A Railroad History of Sycamore, Illinois." The book focuses on the history of Sycamore's railroad depot, now home to the DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore.
"The more I researched, I kept finding all these interesting stories," Cargile said. "Instead of writing about the [depot], it became the railroad that built the building, which became an entire book."
Residents will get their first look at the book during an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the DeKalb County Community Foundation. Cargile, who graduated from NIU in May with a master's degree in history and specialization in public history, will give a talk every half-hour starting at 1:30 p.m.
Cargile volunteered to write about the depot in 2011 as part of an internship. He worked with Sue Breese, director of the Joiner History Room in Sycamore, and the Sycamore History Museum to find the necessary research for the book.
What he found was that after DeKalb secured the first railroad in the area, Sycamore leaders decided to build their own five-mile spur line to connect the town to the main line through Cortland, linking Sycamore to Chicago, according to a DeKalb County Community Foundation news release.
The $30 book will be sold at the community foundation, the Sycamore History Museum and the Joiner History Room. Proceeds will benefit all three organizations.
Breese said proceeds will go toward buying office supplies so the Joiner History Room can continue to offer free copies for children working on research projects.
Dan Templin, executive director of the DeKalb County Community Foundation, said their portion of the proceeds will go toward making building renovations. The foundation has already received more than $750,000 from donations and is about $30,000 short of reaching their goal, Templin said.
Cargile said those who read the book will be surprised to learn that not everyone in the mid-1800s was supportive of the railroad idea.
"It was a very contentious issue," he said. "There were people for it and against it. You realize when you do the research that people back then weren't really any different than they are today."
If you go
What: "Five-Mile Spur Line: A Railroad History of Sycamore, Illinois" book event and open house
When: 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday
Where: DeKalb County Community Foundation, 475 DeKalb Ave., Sycamore
Why: Proceeds of the sales will benefit the DeKalb County Community Foundation, Joiner History Room and Sycamore History Museum.

Couple more archery bucks
I know most of you are die hard westerner's. You have no idea how us towards the east can sit in a tree and wait for something to come along. I have hunted out west once and was successful on a UT DIY archery elk hunt. Have filmed in several other western states as well. Its awesome to be able to walk for miles and miles. But you won't find that here in the midwest. I have been chasing whitetails for more then half my life. I love it, its a addiction. I plan to start making a trip out west every year starting this year. This has been the plan in the past as well but these stinking whitetails get in my blood and there all I think about. Here is why I have the addiction with big Whitetail. 95% of these were archery kills, just something about being able to pick the right tree or ground blind to where the buck will pass with in 30 yards. Gets my blood pumping.
Here are some of my archery kills over the years
Couple more archery bucks
couple gun kills
These guys are the results of year round hard work and preparation.
Nice deer. One of these days, I'm gonna run an arrow through a 180.. Been stuck on the 140's and 150's for a while now.
Whats a whitetail?
That is a pretty impresive list of photos there. Sounds like you work your tail off. Congrats!
Very Nice ... Alot of things to be proud of there.
Awesome collection of trophies bro!

|Newly infected - resistance issue
Nov 1, 2001
Hi, I am recently infected less than 2 mths and am hooked in with a private dr. and another dr. at a research facility. my viral load #'s are decreasing tremendously to under 3K without meds. with a high absolute cd4 of 1425. Should I get a phenotype test now which I pay for or in three months(free)which is part of the research study. It seems that my options are wide open, but I am thinking of going on cycle therapy within three months of my exposure. I may have the name wrong but by cycle therapy I guess I will be on meds for a yr. or so, then off then on again, to see if my viral load decreases even more. What do you think of this cycle therapy? A dr. friend of mine believes that I should start therapy now, get my viral load to undetectible asap and stay on drugs without interruption. Does cycle therapy cause resistance to the drugs that you are coming off of? Thanks so much for your opinion. Keep up the good work!
Response from Dr. Little
I do believe that you should have a resistance test before you start therapy. As far as timing, this is difficult to predict - early data suggests that many transmitted drug resistance mutations persist for many months in the absence of therapy, but what if you end up not qualifying for the study. In general, I think that the yield of early resistance testing is so high (ie so informative) that I recommend proceeding as soon as possible. This is my best guess though since I think the data to address your question more directly is still incomplete.
With regard to cycle therapy. There are several trials for newly infected subjects to start potent therapy for a period of one year and then (if their viral load is sustained at <50 copies/ml) they undergo a series of treatment interruptions to see if their immune system can control viral replication without the aid of antiretroviral therapy. I think that this is a very worthwhile study objective and the preliminary data in VERY SMALL numbers of patients has been quite promising. The risk of developing drug resistance in these studies is thought to be quite small - but not ZERO. As with all studies, I recommend that you discuss fully the risks and benefits of such an approach with your doctor and the study doctor before determining whether this is the right choice for you. Depending on what your personal goals are for your own health, this may or may not be an ideal fit for you.

Where did The Wild Goose Cafe, a new service ministry of Epoch, get its name? In Mark Batterson's "Wild Goose Chase" he writes, "The Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit ... They called Him an Geadh-Glas or 'the Wild Goose,' "
Much like a wild goose, the spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. I can't think of a better description of what it's like to pursue the Spirit's leading through life than Wild Goose chase.

QUINCY — A man with a checkered driving history was charged with motor vehicle homicide Monday after a crash involving the family car that killed his wife and critically injured his adult son.
Michael A. Rivard, 48, of 1173 Sea St., reportedly provided police conflicting accounts of the event that left his wife, Beatrice M. Rivard, mangled and pinned under the family's green Lincoln Town Car, and his son, Michael Jr., hospitalized with internal injuries. The car careered from its Wall Street parking spot behind the family's home, splintering a telephone pole and ramming into a wooden fence about 7:50 a.m. Monday.
Rivard initially told police that he was in the driver's seat of the car when it started moving forward and that he tried to stop it, but hit the accelerator instead of the brake, according to court records.
After telling the officer that his license "was taken away years ago," Rivard reportedly said, "I can't believe I just ran them over."
But he told another officer at the scene that he was actually in the front passenger seat when the vehicle lurched forward and that he attempted to step on the brake but could not reach it because he was wearing a seat belt.
Rivard was arraigned Monday in Quincy District Court on additional charges of impeded operation, operating with a revoked license, and reckless driving. Judge Mark S. Coven revoked bail on a prior motor vehicle accident and set $10,000 cash bail on the latest case. A pretrial conference is set for Dec. 14.
A handcuffed Rivard walked into the courtroom Monday, slumped on a bench, and pulled the hood from his sweatshirt over his head. With a shaky voice, he answered, "Yes, sir" when asked by Coven whether he understood the charges. Rivard's court-appointed attorney, Raffi Yessayan, told the court that Rivard was devastated.
"As a result of this accident, he lost his wife," Yessayan said. "His special-needs son is in the hospital in critical condition; he wants to be with him. This was a tragic accident."
The incident marked the second time in three months that the vehicle crashed into a telephone pole. On Aug. 1, Rivard crashed the Town Car into a pole, trapping his wife on the passenger side. She had to be extricated with mechanical tools. It was for that case that Rivard had his bail revoked Monday.
According to court records from the August accident, police said Rivard was foaming at the mouth, with white powder around his lips, his movements lethargic, and speech slurred. Rivard reportedly admitted to being on antiseizure medication, oxycodone, and Percocet.
Yessayan said that Rivard is prescribed medications for seizures, pain, colitis, and Crohn's disease and that he is unable to work or post bail.
An assistant Norfolk district attorney told the court Rivard is known to police and has a history of assault and battery, driving with a suspended license, and reckless operation. Rivard has a lengthy driving record dating to 1990, including several license suspensions and accidents, according to a state Department of Transportation spokesman. In September 2011, Rivard was deemed an immediate threat in Quincy and had his license revoked.
Police said a witness looked out her kitchen window Monday and saw Rivard sitting in the driver's seat of the 1994 Lincoln just prior to the fatal collision. The witness stated she looked away for a moment and when she looked again, the vehicle had crashed into the wooden fence.
Another witness told police he did not see the accident, but saw Rivard exiting the vehicle from the driver's side. The vehicle struck Rivard's wife and son while they were on the sidewalk. Police reports did not provide the ages of Beatrice and Michael Rivard. But a spokesman for the district attorney said Beatrice Rivard was nearly two decades older than her husband.
Brandon Bergstrom, a mechanic who lives on Wall Street, across from the rear of Rivard's home, said Quincy firefighters asked him to use his jack to lift the car off of Beatrice Rivard, who was pinned face down, except for her head and part of her shoulder.
"You could tell her bones were broken," Bergstrom said. "It was a gruesome sight."
Neighbor Michelle Whalen said she was driving her two children to school Monday when the distraught husband jumped in front of her car, pleading with her to call 911.
"He was shocked. He was horrified. He was distraught,'' Whalen said. "It's an awful thing to happen to that family.''Katheleen Conti can be reached at email@example.com.
