The Second Rule of Scoundrels
Release Date: 1/29/2013
LIST PRICE: $7.99 (you save $1.60)
Main description:
Lady Philippa Marbury is . . . odd
The brilliant, bespectacled daughter of a double marquess cares more for books than balls, for science than the season, and for laboratories than love. She's looking forward to marrying her simple fiancé and living out her days quietly with her dogs and her scientific experiments. But before that, Pippa has two weeks to experience all the rest—fourteen days to research the exciting parts of life. It's not much time, and to do it right she needs a guide familiar with London's darker corners.
She needs . . . a Scoundrel
She needs Cross, the clever, controlled partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, with a carefully crafted reputation for wickedness. But reputations often hide the darkest secrets, and when the unconventional Pippa boldly propositions him, seeking science without emotion, she threatens all he works to protect. He is tempted to give Pippa precisely what she wants . . . but the scoundrel is more than he seems, and it will take every ounce of his willpower to resist giving the lady more than she ever imagined.
Short description/annotation:
One Good Earl Deserves a Lover, the second book in New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean's award-winning Rules of Scoundrels series, is a lively, romantic adventure, starring a lovable, sometimes bumbling heroine and a sexy, leading man who offer up plenty of steamy sexual tension.
Nearly engaged to Lord Castleton, the always proper and logical Lady Philippa "Pippa" Marbury wants to learn about London's dark side before she happily heads off to the country and embraces married life. But it's in London's shadowy corners where she meets Cross, the brooding, mysterious bookkeeper of The Fallen Angel, London's most notorious and coveted gaming hell. He's a rogue in every sense of the word. Or is he?
The heroes of the Rule of Scoundrels books will steal the hearts of their heroines and readers alike!

ARTiculations demands a full and unreserved apology. Now!
"A majority taken collectively is only an individual, whose opinions, and frequently whose interests, are opposed to those of another individual, who is styled a minority. If it be admitted that a man possessing absolute power may misuse that power wronging his adversaries, why should not a majority be liable to the same reproach?" - Tocqueville, Democracy in America

The Queen committed a diplomatic blunder!
58 comments:
Is this photo from PM Najib's recent visit to the UK?
If it is, I wonder if the majesty was trying to tell Najib something subtly? Even the roses in the background are yellow.
When I first saw the title "How dare she", I thought you meant her even granting the visit to Najib. But when I look further, I got what you mean!. Good one.

Haiyoo, everything is politicised these days, even what Queen Elizabeth wears. Some people are so presumptious that they feel that the yellow colour is the monopoly of bersih and that if anybody in any part of the world happens to wear yellow the person must be the supporter of bersih. Even if any of our Sultans wear yellow dress ( which happens to be the royal colour)for any official function, the Sultan must be a supporter of bersih. Wake up, man.

Queen: Yes, the Palace does require constant cleaning. How do you manage to keep things clean, Prime Minister?
Najib: Oh, Your Majesty, when things get a little bit messy, I call in a special team to hose the dirt down.
Rosmah: Oh, yes Your Majesty, my husband is always making a mess. But if it gets very dirty, he gives me a ring.
A little later...
Queen: One remembers the bright colours in Malaysia. One does so like bright colours. Yellow in July for instance, seems apt, somehow...
Najib: Yes indeed, Your Majesty looks resplendent. This colour is quite popular in Malaysia too.
Rosmah (whispers): eh, but tell her not to wear yellow if she comes to visit, ok?
- 15 July 2011 at 10:29
Aren't you people tired of twisting and spinning? The Queen wore yellow too at William and Kate's wedding. Shows she is happy to meet Najib, bless her!

peduli apa sama ini queen. dia bukan queen malaysia. sengaja atau tak sengaja itu hal dia. kalau sengaja semua orang musti ingat apa jadah dia mahu 'masuk campor' hal malaysia. kalau tak sengaja maknanya dia tak sensitif atau lebih jelas tak tahu diplomatik.
warna kuning memang dikaitkan dengan warna diraja (dimalaysia). so what.
ini nuar memang bikin susah semua orang. boleh jalan sama dia punya refomasi ke demokrasi ke revolusi ke. masa duduk dalam kerajaan apa dia buat? dia pun amalkan kronisma, nepotisma dan segala ma.. termasuk 'main'.
ini semua cita-cita politik masing baik nuar & the geng (pkr), pas dan dap.

Kalau ada maruah, QE2 menyindir PM Malaysia le.
Tau tak kerajaan British sama peka dengan kerajaan Malaysia berkenaan protokol semasa lawatan Ketua-ketua negara.
Tu jelas cara diplomatik kalau tak dah kena penampar kat muka.
- 15 July 2011 at 13:01
I wonder how the (self-proclaimed) FLOM who was beside Najib [going by other photos of the occasion) felt?
I would not presume to be able to tell what Queen Elizabeth may or may not have intended her choice of dress to signal.
But I certainly felt happy with her choice!
And harbour the hope that she indeed was procliming loudly and clearly just what she thought of Najib and his regime did to try to cow BERSIH 2.0 leaders as well as supporters.
And I just read on Malaysian Chronicles about his inept sidekick:
"Hisham extends crackdown: After the Chinese press, online media is next".

Jibbie should send his goon Khairy and the Pariah dogs to demonstrate at the Queen for wearing yellow!
- 15 July 2011 at 15:19
Of course, any supposed connection between the "Yellow Shirts" in Thailand and the colour favoured by the Bersih 2.0 people in Malaysia is purely fortuitous!
What is noticeable about Thailand, though, is that more and more Thais are willing to stand up and question the untrammelled application of draconian lese majeste laws in the kingdom.
It is interesting that the Thai royal family has chosen to remain discreetly aloof from the fervour caused by the recent elections in the country. Perhaps the divisions in Thailand between the pro-monarchy royalists centred around the military top brass and the so-called urban elite and the backbone Thaksin supporters drawn from the ranks of the rural plebians and lower income groups in the country have confounded the calculations of those who would want to maintain the status quo.

Yellow obsession & delusion..??
Don't get too much yellow in the brain, bro..can cause "otak kuning" disease..
Next what..? Digiman also support bersih..?
Hey, guess what.. why not try to get all those yellow fanatics or yellow skinned people to be in yellow attire and throw a full support to Yellow Harimau Malaya playing against the Red Liverpool..
Hardly see any yellow skin in yellow at all in Bukit Jalil on 13th July..same also when we play against the Red Indonesian.
Typical of them. Berjuang untuk Malaysia konon..Yellow my foot..when come to real action only the non-yellow skinned do the dirty job.
:D muhahahaha

- 15 July 2011 at 16:01
Haha...Funny to see how people still doesn't get how funny this really is. Yes, yellow doesn't belong to Bersih. Never was and never will. Same as reds don't belong to neither Liverpool nor ManU! But who was it so dumbfcuk to actually arrest people wearing yellow two weeks ago? ROTFLMAO!

Supporting a friendly football match against a foreign country, an art of patriotism? U must have been bought, through & through, by dn's idiotic definition!
What about some other transparent acts, worked with sweat & tear, so that u can be free-loading now & takok?
Or, u only seek form than substance?
Oh - do bring up the oft-quoted dn-choir's chorus of only the Malay M'sians serve in military forces to defense the country.
Bloody moron!
U just can't recognise the hard-earned contributions of the Nons to the national building in a different approach. U only see might as a mean for patriotism. I should have known a scoundrel where it stands!
Easily fooled by dn, just bcoz u can't read truth M'sia history, & only filled with the syok-sendiri craps from btn.
Answer me – who were the heroes of the military forces before the independence? There were sizable non-Malay M'sians & many in commanding posts too. Many of them served through a turbulent period of our nation building, where live & death were the real issue of the servitude, unlike now.
Don't u ,EVER, forget that the highest military honour for bravery has been bestowed upon many of these non-Malay heroes.
The dwindling number of Nons in the M'sian military services now, due a lot to the racial ceiling imposed. Many just give up & retired to a better opportunity outside the military. Moreover who would like to serve with their lives for many of the current nincompoops, masquerade as military commanders. Then again, what military challenge is M'sia facing now? R we at war with any body? Good brains might as well be deployed in other more rewarding adventures, where the contributions for self & COUNTRY r equally important.
Then again, how could an idiot like u, could understand what's patriotism? After all u only see colour as a form ONLY!

"Don't u ,EVER, forget that the highest military honour for bravery has been bestowed upon many of these non-Malay heroes.

Heh, heh - anti spudkins is frothing off at the mouth - again. Gormless, as are most of the Perkasa persuasion, but, then, the Universe doesn't play favourites when handing out stupidity.
Whether QEII wears yellow, red or lilac is besides the point. The wardrobe choices of senior Brit royalty are matters to ponder on another day.
What is gormless is the way anti spudkins emotes on "patriotism". All the patriots he extols didn't prevent Malaya from being colonised by the Brits, did it? Or were the powers of the Royal Navy then far more persuasive to the denizens of the peninsula then than the concepts of patriotism and maruah?
Oh, wait - maybe anti spudkins lost out on in the days of the Brit colonial empire, when people of other hues were brought in to labour in the estates, schools, hospitals and the fledgling business sector.
One can understand the angst of such left-outs!

Trend Report: Queen Elizabeth in Yellow at The Royal Wedding
The Color Yellow
The Meaning of the color Yellow
The color and material used in Elizabethan Clothing was extremely important.
---- >>> People who could wear the color Yellow was dictated by English Law! These were called the "Sumptuary Laws".
The colors of Elizabethan clothes, including the color Yellow, provided information about the status of the man or woman wearing them.
This was not just dictated by the wealth of the person, it also reflected their social standing. The meaning of colors during the Elizabethan era represented many aspects of their life - the social, religious, biblical and Christian symbolism was reflected in the color Yellow!
English Sumptuary Laws
English Sumptuary Laws were well known by all of the English people. The penalties for violating Sumptuary Laws could be harsh - fines, the loss of property, title and even life!

Queen Elizabeth wore a St Patrick Blue dress and an emerald green cloak when she arrived in Ireland in May, for first state visit of bristish monarch in 100 years to the rebellious Catholic south of the Island. ST Patrick is of course the patron saint of Ireland and Ireland is also known as the Emerald Isle.
Princess Kate Middleton wore a white dress and a red maple leaf hat on Canada Day during her royal visit to canada in July
The british royals appear to know exactly what message the colour of their clothes is conveying; or perhaps chose to convey a particular message by the colour of their clothes

U r a REAL disgrace! Go check REAL history-lah, pariah!
FYI yr dato maharajalela was a orang asli slave trader. He fought for his right to trade captured orang asli as slave. tok gajah, mak kilau? Please-lah, where do u read yr history? BTN?
Some of these people u mentioned WERE the REAL traitors of the land – that's to all the Malayan then. Surprise?
Let me be childish – how many of yr kind were the wearer of Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa?
'- Yeah moron, now it is all just history..digesting from the current developement & facts, the history in the making is that the nons are the potential traitors to this nation..'
Now who's the moron?
Read again! R M'sia at war with anybody? Oh, for u, with the 'pendatang'? Thus the 'potential' traitor?
Who started ICMM2 to recruit muslin foreigners as M'sians, so that he could hold on to his power? Isn't that an act of HIGH treason?
'Hard earns contribution my ass as if WE don't contribute any, thought in reality volume foldable more than any of you in combine..'
Go & check with that mamak about this fact. Don't be surprise to call him pendatang also, troglodyte.
Now back to yr starting line – '- So, not supporting anything Malaysia, condemn everything Malaysia and love to put this nation at par with Zimbabwe is how you morons define your patriotism eh? hehehehe..nice one idiot!'
Should I say – 'So start your soul serching of the real meaning of patriotism you identity crisis decendant of pendatang...fucking idiot.'

To be honest with you, your comments don't make much sense at all as you were trying desperately hard to impress us with your Queen's English. Much better if you write in simple English as it would not be lost in translation from Bahasa Melayu to Bahasa Inggeris.

Only those who are IQ challenged would argue that the Queen by sheer coincidence wore Yellow that day. Head of state as she is, most definitely was briefed on the protocol and etiquette (especially the subtle message her wardrobe would convey) approved by the British government.
Being a strong willed monarch and with a sense of justice, she might have persuaded the British govt to subtly send a message to the Malaysian people and to the Malaysian gomen. The UN has voiced their displeasure and it is not lost on the international community that England should choose to support UN's action too. It's diplomacy at work and at its best.

I'd say the government of Malaysia should retaliate BIG time.
1. Demand for a public apology from the Queen
2. Recall its consul general from the UK
3. Severe all diplomatic ties
4. Tariff on all British products
5. Visa for all British visitors
6. BUY British LAST
7. Close the British consulate in Malaysia
8. Special taxes on all British companies with presence in Malaysia
9. UMNO Youth to burn British flag
10. Ibrahim Ali to send his perajurit to UK to demand apology from the Queen.
11. Pull out all the Malaysian VIPs children from schools and Uni in UK.
12. Arrest everyone in Malaysia with the name Elizabeth, Liz, Lisa, Liza, Eliza, Beth, Lizzy and any other name with connection to Elizabeth.

I knew urban would be the next setting, but post apocalyptic... We'll see, the gameplay will be fantastic anyway.
what the hell...last shot reminds me of split/second a bit.
anyway, I'm up for it lol. 2nd was aweosme unitl the rubber band ai popped up in later stages. thats the only thing i dont have faith with in this developer, they cant seem to make a race difficult without putting in rubber band ai.
Looks quite good. Liking the Post-Apocalypse type stuff.

Kinda indeed, yes.
That really doesnt look like Motorstorm
I find it funny that they're choosing the same setting as Resistance 3. I'd wonder if they'd share the same setting, meaning MotorStorm 3 would take place in San Francisco post-Resistance 3
Anyway, can't wait to see this one in motion.
I hope not, MotorStorm has it's own "universe", so that wouldn't really fit.I'd wonder if they'd share the same setting, meaning MotorStorm 3 would take place in San Francisco post-Resistance 3
The other games also didn't seem to take place after an alien invasion.
From what I gather isn't R3 set in New York? The billboard that guy took a pic of have the Statue of Liberty in it...
The billboard was in a movie's background and the movie is set in San Francisco (however actually in Louisiana.)

To break the impasse, you must hold an unshakable belief and insight as well as a certain amount of vitality.
I know that MotorStorm doesn't really have a plot, but you never got the vibe that it plays in the same universe as Resistance, or something like that.
I was kidding all the time... until my ignorance about the Resistance series came to light :-|
great... another urban racing game...
We the people...
the top 2 images under the title appear to be in 3d.
even if you don't like the idea of urban set for motorstorm. why do you act like complete asshole ?!
'it's wrong direction'... and how do you fucking know what devs were thinking ?!
it's fucking motorstorm...and it will be great... split what ?
i think cliffbo that motorstorm devs will make you spit out everything you wrote here when you will play this....
ehh hate that kind of attitiude...
wait till you play it or go make your own game if you don't like it or buy ps3... at least....

Writer Rick Edgerton talks #MHFBeanie Round, the harrowing statistics behind Brain Cancer - and what...
41 hours ago
The Sea Eagles have done enough to take the points over the Warriors in Auckland this afternoon, grinding out a 14-6 victory.
It was an inauspicious start for the Warriors - 19-year-old Bill Tupou spilling the ball with his first touch on debut. He did recover well however, and coach Cleary will likely be pleased with the young winger's first NRL performance.
It took until the 19th minute for the scorers to be troubled. A smooth cut-out ball from Ben Farrar put winger Michael Robertson over in the left corner. Phil Cooley confirmed that Robertson had indeed scraped just inside the corner flag.
Ten minutes later Farrar was off taking a compulsory rest, thanks to a professional foul on Tupou. Tupou made an impressive break through the middle, Farrar chased him down but held on for longer than referee Cummins could allow.
The Warriors failed to take advantage of the depleted Sea Eagles however. Captain Jamie Lyon added two points from right in front to give his side a 6-0 lead at the break.
The scores were tied not long into the second half. Ropati did well to dot down in the left corner, brushing off three would-be tacklers and staying in play. Maloney converted from the sideline, one high point in a mixed performance from last week's hero.
The talking point for Warriors fans will be Steve Matai's try in the 66th minute. He dived on a Foran grubber between the posts after Maloney hesitated. Cooley gave the green light with a benefit-of-the-doubt disclaimer, Matai not in control but getting enough on the ball for Phil's liking.
This was enough of a lead for the Sea Eagles to hold on to. A frequently flat Warriors attack couldn't find any holes in a solid Manly line.
Glenn Stewart was particularly strong in defense, making an impressive 44 tackles. Trent Hodkinson again made good contributions, likely cementing his spot at halfback. For the Warriors Michael Luck was ever reliable, adding another 45 tackles to his tally. In attack Lance Hohaia tried his best to spark something but found little support.
Next week the Sea Eagles host the Sharks in the local derby. The Warriors travel to ANZ Stadium to take on the Bulldogs.

WASHINGTON — Planes delayed. Teachers laid off. And, now, more illegal immigrants slipping past the Border Patrol.
The White House on Monday added to its list of dire consequences it says would come from automatic federal budget cuts scheduled to start Friday, part of a campaign to ignite a public outcry.
For days, President Obama and his aides have been turning up the volume about the effects of the across-the-board cuts, seeking to gain leverage over Republicans in Washington's latest fiscal fight.
On Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano predicted longer lines at U.S. border crossings and a more porous border. "Between the ports of entry, if you reduce the number of Border Patrol agents, I think you can say, yes, it does affect our ability to keep out illegal migrants and others trying to enter the country," Napolitano told reporters at the White House.

DOSWELL, Va. (AP) -- University of Richmond administrators say two members of its women's basketball staff were aboard a hot-air balloon that went down in a fiery crash.
A university news release says that assistant coach Ginny Doyle and director of basketball operations Natalie Lewis were aboard the balloon that crashed Friday.
President Edward L. Ayers says the two women were beloved by the community.
They were aboard the balloon with a pilot when it went down after hitting a power line.
Investigators say the remains of two people were found about a mile apart in dense woods, and the search continues for the third body.
More than 100 searchers spent Saturday scouring the woods and fields around the crash site for the third victim and any remnants of the balloon. The search was scaled back because of darkness and is set to resume Sunday.
Investigators are not confirming whose remains have already been found.
(Earlier story follows:)
Because of the time elapsed since the crash about 8 p.m. Friday, the search for the third occupant has shifted from a rescue operation to a mission to recover the remains, Geller said. More searchers were called in Saturday.
Police received eyewitness reports that two occupants either fell or jumped from the burning balloon after it struck the power line.
Carrie Hager-Bradley said she saw the balloon in flames on her way home from the grocery store and heard people yelling, according to WWBT TV.
"They were just screaming for anybody to help them," she said. "`Help me, help me, sweet Jesus, help. I'm going to die. Oh my God, I'm going to die,"' Hager-Bradley said she heard one person screaming.
The crash occurred near the Meadow Event Park in rural Caroline County, where the Mid-Atlantic Balloon Festival was being held. The area is about 25 miles north of Richmond.
Another eyewitness, Nancy Johnson, said the crash occurred in an instant.
"One minute the balloons were hovering in field behind Event Park, the next everyone is pointing at sky," she wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "The crowd went silent in shock. Very sad night."
Donnell Ferguson said he was cutting grass when he saw a couple balloons passing by. One was low, barely at tree-top level.
"At first I saw a cloud of black smoke and then I noticed the basket on fire," he said Saturday. "Then it just took off real fast and disappeared."
The festival was scheduled to begin officially on Saturday, but was holding a special kickoff event Friday for about 740 people. Organizers canceled the rest of the festival.
Twenty balloonists from the Mid-Atlantic region were to participate in the weekend festival, said Greg Hicks, a spokesman for the venue, which also is the site of the State Fair of Virginia.
"It's just a shocking situation for everyone," Hicks said.
Some hot air balloons landed safely in Debra Ferguson's yard, The Free Lance-Star of Fredericksburg reported.
She said one of the men in the balloons pointed up at another still in the air and said he thought it might be in trouble.
"As soon as we looked up, the thing blew up right there," Ferguson told the newspaper. "All I heard was, `Oh my God, Oh my God,' and all you saw was the top of the balloon still flying, but all of the basket was gone. All of the flames just disappeared. ... It was like a match -- poof -- and then it was gone."
Caroline County resident Paula Dustin said she and her family and a friend were watching the balloons inflate and take off when they saw one in the distance that appeared to be in distress.
"We saw a glow, and you could tell the bottom of the balloon was in flames," Dustin was quoted by the newspaper as saying.

First lady Michelle Obama introduced the stars of the Jackie Robinson biopic 42 at the White House.
On April 2, she brought local high school students to the White House for a conversation on the late baseball superstar. Obama, who was clearly inspired by the film, noted that "You have to pick yourself up when somebody knocks you down," a lesson that underscores the legacy of Mr. Robinson.
The new film 42 tells the true story of Jackie Robinson's rise to the major leagues in the late 1940's.
Chadwick Boseman stars as the main character, whose number– the film's title– was eventually retired in all of the major league teams. Oscar nominee Harrison Ford appears in the film as Branch Rickey, the Brooklyn Dodgers team executive who supported Robinson's rise to be the first African-American in the majors.Boseman, Ford and screenwriter/director Brian Helgeland were accompanied at the White House by Rachel Robinson, Jackie Robinson's widow who served as an adviser on the film.
Check out some of the pictures below of the event featuring Obama, Helgeland, Boseman, Ford, Mrs. Robinson and a White House aide who asked questions of the panel.

A 19-year-old charged with stealing and forging checks from residents at aBatavia retirement home pleaded guilty to reduced charges, and received two years probation and 200 hours of community service, according to court records.
Teejana S. Perry, of the 29W400 block of Hawthorne Lane in Warrenville, must pay a $1,185 fine and make restitution. She also spent 15 days in jail after her arrest in December 2012, records show.
Perry was charged with felony forgery, financial exploitation of an elder person and theft after relatives of a resident at the Heritage Woods Assisted Living Center, 1079 E. Wilson St., reported discrepancies in a checking account.
A former caretaker at the center, Perry was initially charged with stealing and forging checks from five residents, but the other charges were dropped in the plea deal. She did not have any previous arrests.
Perry must complete her community service hours by September. If she violates probation, she could be resentenced to up to 364 days in jail.

First Malaysian Modern Theatre Awards
28 December 2013
Janet Marshall reports on a successful new competition
The first Modern Theatre Awards Competition was held at the Fonteyn Theatre, Petaling Jaya, Selangor in Kuala Lumpa on Sunday 10th November 2013.
Many months of preparation had been undertaken by Cathy Stevens and the Modern Theatre Committee and also by Malaysian teachers, Cyn Dee Too, Alicia Lim and Clara Lim, who worked hard to make this a fantastic and memorable event.
Heather Rees, Tereza Theodoulou and I arrived at the venue with more than a little apprehension, wondering how this event might compare to our own Janet Cram competition, now such an institution. However, our fears quickly dissipated as we saw the waiting queue of gracious, friendly and welcoming teachers.
Tereza was to conduct all the classes whilst Heather and I were to adjudicate. The morning started with a class of excited Juniors, who were quick to respond and whose dancing demonstrated good variety and content.
The Senior Class was well received, with the students working willingly and eager to please. We felt that the dances could have been further developed and shown with a little more variety of style and quality. We look forward to seeing this in the future.
The atmosphere in the room was really electric when it came to the Premier Section. There was such an amazing diversity of dance, which was so exciting to watch – with the cultural mix of Indian, Chinese, Malay and Thai dance, all performed with magical expressions.
The inspirational teaching of Tereza in the class enabled the students to rise to the occasion, producing such quality of performance that was truly memorable. These dances were exceptional and would be credible at any Cram Final.
We all felt privileged to be part of this special day, which brought such freshness, sincerity, talent and the promise of so much more in the years ahead.

Brussels, 29 August 2012
Statement by Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva on tomorrow's UN Security Council debate on Syria
"I welcome the UN Security Council French Presidency's initiative to put the humanitarian situation in Syria high on the agenda of tomorrow's meeting.
This will be an opportunity to reiterate Europe's call to all parties to the conflict to fully respect international humanitarian principles and to again insist on access for both international and local humanitarian organisations in Syria.
The human consequences of this conflict are immense, both inside Syria and beyond its borders, as neighbouring countries are being overwhelmed by the huge influx of desperate people.
Europe has already provided over €146 million in humanitarian assistance. In its efforts to get more access to those in need, Europe stands ready to increase this amount to match the massive evolving needs with massive funding."

POLICE are poised to break up a picket line hampering work on a $40 million project in Werribee, after the land's leaseholder complained about protesters preventing free access to the site.
The Federal Court is also due to hand down its decision on Thursday at 10am, which could end the blockade, now in its 10th day.
City West Water and the contractor behind the Werribee project on Wednesday held discussions with Victoria Police about removing about 40 protestors at the site's entrance.
Chief commissioner Ken Lay said police were poised to move against the protesters, who are angry the project's head contractor is using overseas workers to do some jobs.
''If there are people breaking the law and preventing access, we will take appropriate action,'' Mr Lay told Fairfax Media.
Since Saturday, contractors have used helicopters to fly workers over the protesters, to allow some work.
Central to the dispute are four Filipino workers hired on 457 visas by a contractor on site; protesters say that this work should be done by locals.
New evidence emerged on Wednesday of insults hurled at workers by protesters, with a transcript obtained by Fairfax Media showing the racist abuse levelled at the overseas workers in Spanish on Saturday.
The Fair Work Building and Construction inspectorate on Tuesday launched a Federal Court action seeking injunctions against the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, to try to end the blockade.
They are also seeking damages of more than $1.5 million. The union has denied it organised the blockade.
The extended blockade of the site is the latest in Victoria, which over the past two years has seen other picket lines shut down work at a poultry plant in Laverton North run by Baiada, at a Toll Holdings centre in Somerton, and at a brewery project in Geelong for Little Creatures beer.

Most men have what I call the "exploratory gene", a drive within them to go beyond their comfort zone and get back to nature. These experiences have a risk associated with them, and I learnt this the hard way when in 1982 my boat hit something (I believe it was a whale) and sunk. I was lost adrift for 76 days in a 6ft life raft. Since then, I've interviewed other survivors and a commonality among us is that, while none of us would like to go through the experience again, we all gained a great deal from it. It sounds cliché but there is a truth to the notion that by enduring such horror, we find out that we are much hardier than we thought we could be. In my case, one of the most enlightening elements was learning about my great weaknesses. As your life drags before your eyes like a bad B-grade movie, you see your failures, but that realisation gives you a purpose - come out of it, rectify those shortcomings, realign your priorities and move on. Men need experiences where they become the insignificant factor to do that. Should you be unlucky enough to be stranded at sea, here are a few pointers that might make the situation seem a little better.
There's a saying in the sailing world that you should always step up to your life raft. A lot of people will be tempted to get off the boat when it's stormy and scary on the boat, but I guarantee it will be ten times worse on a life raft. Don't abandon your boat until you know it's really done for.
It's the classic error: while drinking seawater will relieve you in the short term, it will be the death of you in the long term. Don't do it. Salt water has higher salt content than your cells, so draws fluid out.
You have to remember that you are in an isolated environment with limited resources; once something is gone, it's gone. If you patch a hole in the raft using a piece of cushion, that cushion currency is used up. I could have relieved my salt water sores using the medical resources I had but I knew I needed to save them in case I incurred a more serious injury. Use what you have wisely.
It might feel as if you are trying to reach an unreachable goal but you have to stay positive, keep busy and focus on the positive. My time lost at sea enabled me to see incredible things that I would not have encountered in any other situation; the star-filled sky (there's no bigger sky country than the middle of the ocean), the shimmering bio-luminescent fish at night as they followed or were disturbed by the raft. I've talked to survivors who actually miss their experiences... there's a purity to it you'll never go through again.
If you are lost in the Pacific, sharks will be a problem. I wasn't, but still came in contact with a few. If it happens, keep calm and keep off the bottom of the raft because if anything is poking down they will grab onto it. Like most predators, they want to avoid an injury so they will bump the boat a few times to see if you fight back. If they do this you need to show you can hurt it. Whack it or poke it with something, anything to show you mean business.

text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Brain Tumors in Children What are brain tumors in children? A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain. The brain is part of the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS also includes the spinal cord. The main parts of the brain are: Cerebrum. This is the front of the brain. The cerebrum has two sides, the right and left hemispheres. It controls thoughts, emotions, and speech, and movement. It also helps with understanding information from the senses. This includes seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and feeling pain. Cerebellum. This is the back of the brain. It organizes muscle movement and helps to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium. Brainstem. This is the base of the brain. It includes the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla. It is the part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord. It plays a part in controlling muscles and sensations from the body. Part of the brainstem helps control breathing and the heart beat. Many of the cranial nerves start in the brain stem. The cranial nerves carry messages from different parts of the body to the brain Brain tumors start in the cells of the brain. They can be either of the below: Benign. This kind of tumor doesn't contain cancer cells. In most cases, once a benign tumor is removed, it doesn't grow back. Most benign brain tumors don't grow into nearby tissue. These tumors can cause symptoms depending on their size and location in the brain. Malignant. This kind of tumor does contain cancer cells. Malignant brain tumors usually grow fast, and grow into nearby tissue. Malignant brain tumors don't usually spread to other areas of the body. They may grow back after treatment. Brain tumors can occur at any age. Brain tumors that occur in infants and children are very different from adult brain tumors. The most common type of brain tumor is a glioma. Gliomas begin from glial cells, which make up the supportive tissue of the brain. There are different types of glioma: Astrocytoma. This type of tumor forms from astrocytes, a type of glial cells. It is the most common brain tumor in children. It is grows most often in the cerebellum. Brain stem glioma. This tumor is found in the brain stem. Most brain stem tumors can't be removed with surgery. Oligodendroglioma. This tumor grows in the cells that make the fatty covering of nerve cells called oligodendrocytes. It usually grows slowly. But it usually grows into brain tissue. This makes it very difficult to remove with surgery. Ependymoma. This usually grows in the lining of the ventricles that hold cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), or in the spinal cord. In children, they are usually near the cerebellum. They often block the flow of the CSF, the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. This may cause increased pressure in the skull. Optic nerve glioma. This kind of tumor is found in or around the nerves that send messages from the eyes to the brain. It often affects vision. It can also affect hormones since it's usually at the base of the brain where hormone control is located. Other types of brain tumors include: Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). This kind of tumor grows more often in children. It can grow anywhere in the brain in the primitive form of nerve cells. One type is the medulloblastoma. This kind of tumor start is found in the cerebellum. They are more common in children than in adults. They tend to grow and spread quickly, but they can often be treated effectively. Craniopharyngioma. This kind of tumor starts near the pituitary gland. It is usually slow growing. But it can cause symptoms if it presses on the pituitary gland or on nearby nerves. This type of tumor is benign. Mixed glial and neuronal tumors. These tumors are made up of glial and nerve cells. Choroid plexus tumor. This is a rare tumor that starts in the ventricles of the brain. It's also benign. Schwannoma. This kind of tumor starts in myelin-making cells that surround certain nerves. It's most common in the nerve in the inner ear that helps with balance. If it grows there, the tumor is called a vestibular schwannoma or an acoustic neuroma. This type of tumor is usually benign. What causes a brain tumor in a child?Most brain tumors are caused by abnormal genes or chromosomes. What causes them to be abnormal is usually not known. Some chemicals may play a part in gene changes. Research is ongoing. Which children are at risk for a brain tumor? Children with certain genetic conditions have an increased risk for tumors of the central nervous system. This includes children with: Neurofibromatosis Von Hippel-Lindau disease Li-Fraumeni syndrome Retinoblastoma Children who have had radiation therapy for other cancers of the head are also at an increased risk for a new brain tumor. What are the symptoms of a brain tumor in a child? Symptoms vary depending on size and location of tumor. Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child. Growing tumors may cause increased pressure on the brain in the limited space in the skull. This is called increased intracranial pressure or ICP. This isn't usually the case in babies, since their skull bones haven't fully grown together. The pressure on the brain may cause symptoms such as: Headache Enlarged head, especially in babies Nausea and vomiting Personality changes Irritability Drowsiness Seizures Coma Symptoms of brain tumors in the cerebrum can include: Seizures Changes in eyesight or hearing Trouble talking Weakness or paralysis Mood changes, such as feeling depressed Symptoms of brain tumors in the cerebellum can include: Trouble swallowing Trouble with eye movement Changes in speech Clumsy movements of the hands, arms, feet, or legs Problems walking (ataxia) Symptoms of brain tumors in the brainstem can include: Weakness Problems walking (ataxia) Muscle stiffness Trouble with eye or other facial movement Trouble swallowing Double vision Hearing loss The symptoms of a brain tumor can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees a healthcare provider for a diagnosis. How is a brain tumor diagnosed in a child? Your child's healthcare provider will ask about your child's health history and symptoms. He or she will examine your child. This will include a neurological exam. The exam tests reflexes, muscle strength, eye and mouth movement, and coordination. Your child's healthcare provider may refer your child to a cancer specialist (oncologist). Your child may have tests such as: CT scan. A CT scan uses a series of X-rays and a computer to make detailed pictures of the body. MRI. An MRI uses large magnets, radio waves, and a computer to make detailed pictures of the body. Contrast dye may be injected into your child's vein. It helps cancer cells be seen more clearly. Lumbar puncture. A special needle is placed into the lower back, into the spinal canal. This is the area around the spinal cord. This is done to check the brain and spinal cord for cancer cells. A small amount of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is removed and sent for testing. CSF is the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan. For this test, a radioactive sugar is injected into the bloodstream. Cancer cells use more sugar than normal cells, so the sugar will collect in cancer cells. A special camera is used to see where the radioactive sugar is in the body. A PET scan can sometimes spot cancer cells in different areas of the body, even when they can't be seen by other tests. This test is often used in combination with a CT scan. This is called a PET/CT scan. Biopsy. Tumor cells are removed and sent to a lab for testing. This is done to determine the type of tumor and how quickly it is likely to grow. Blood tests. Blood tests may be done to check for substances that are released by some tumors. These are called tumor markers. How is a brain tumor treated in a child? If your child has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and time allows, you may want your child to see a different oncologist (get a second opinion) before beginning treatment. In fact, your insurance company might require a second opinion. Treatment may include one or more of the below: Surgery. Surgery is usually the first step in the treatment of brain tumors. The goal is to remove as much of the tumor as possible, while keeping brain function. Chemotherapy. These are medicines that kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. They may be given into the vein (IV), injected into tissue, or taken by mouth. Targeted therapy. These are medicines that kill cancer cells, but don't harm healthy cells. Radiation therapy. These are high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation. They are used to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. High-dose chemotherapy with a stem cell transplant. Young blood cells (stem cells) are taken from the child or from someone else. This is followed by a large amount of chemotherapy medicine. This causes damage to the bone marrow. After the chemotherapy, the stem cells are replaced. Other treatments may include: Corticosteroids. These treat and prevent swelling in the brain. Antiseizure medicine. These treat and prevent seizures. Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. A long tube called a shunt may be placed to remove extra fluid from the inside the brain. This helps control the pressure. Supportive care. Treatment can cause side effects. Medicines and other treatments can be used for pain, fever, infection, and nausea and vomiting Antibiotics. These treat and prevent infections. Hormones. Medicines can replace hormones if a tumor affects natural hormone production. With any cancer, how well a child is expected to recover (prognosis) varies. Keep in mind: Getting medical treatment right away is important for the best prognosis. Ongoing follow-up care during and after treatment is needed. New treatments are being tested to improve outcome and to lessen side effects. What are possible complications of a brain tumor in a child? A child may have complications from the tumor or from treatment, such as: Damage to the brain or nervous system that causes problems with coordination, muscle strength, speech, or eyesight Problems after surgery, such as infection, bleeding, and problems with general anesthesia Infection and bleeding from chemotherapy Delayed growth and development Learning problems Problems with reproduction (infertility) Return of the cancer Growth of other cancers How can I help my child live with a brain tumor? A child with a brain tumor needs ongoing care. Your child will be seen by oncologists and other healthcare providers to treat any late effects of treatment and to watch for signs or symptoms of the tumor returning. Your child will be checked with imaging tests and other tests. And your child may see other healthcare providers for problems from the tumor or from treatment. For example, your child may see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) for vision problems. Your child may need therapy to help with movement and muscle strength. This may be done by physical and occupational therapists. If your child's speech is affected, he or she may need help from a speech therapist. Your child may also need the help of other therapists for learning or emotional problems. You can help your child manage his or her treatment in many ways. For example: Your child may have trouble eating. A dietitian may be able to help. Your child may be very tired. He or she will need to balance rest and activity. Encourage your child to get some exercise. This is good for overall health. And it may help to lessen tiredness. If your child smokes, help him or her quit. If your child doesn't smoke, make sure he or she knows the danger of smoking. Get emotional support for your child. Find a counselor or child support group can help. Make sure your child attends all follow-up appointments. When should I call my child's healthcare provider? Call the healthcare provider if your child has: Symptoms that get worse New symptoms Side effects from treatment Key points about a brain tumor in a child Brain tumors start in the cells of the brain. Brain tumors can grow at any age. Those that grow in infants and children are very different from those in adults. The types of brain tumors are based on the cell type and location in the brain. Some common symptoms of brain tumors are headache, nausea and vomiting, and trouble with movement. Most children are treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. On-going follow-up is important in order to watch for effects of tumors or treatment and the cancer growing back. Next steps Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your child's healthcare provider: Know the reason for the visit and what you want to happen. Before your visit, write down questions you want answered. At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you for your child. Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed and how it will help your child. Also know what the side effects are. Ask if your child's condition can be treated in other ways. Know why a test or procedure is recommended and what the results could mean. Know what to expect if your child does not take the medicine or have the test or procedure. If your child has a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit. Know how you can contact your child's provider after office hours. This is important if your child becomes ill and you have questions or need advice.

What's it Take to Lead NYC? De Blasio, Lhota Face Off
Mayoral candidates debate for third and final time before the election.
Universal Pre-K's been a centerpiece of Bill de Blasio's campaign. But to fund it, the Democrat will need to convince Governor Cuomo to let him raise taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers. At the debate last night, he was asked what he'd do if he couldn't get it passed.

Holy 4000 page book Batman!
Holy 4000 page book Batman!
I read five words.
Ha, his name is Woody (sorry I'm still thinking about that "Pen is Mighty" thread).
I can't imagine wanting to get into journalism nowadays. Come to think of it, I wouldn't want to get into any "sexy" field that sounds cool. That's usually where the jobs are that make people miserable.
He said
1. I almost quit because people said I dontknow what IM talking about
2. Dont be interested in sports, be interested in writing
3. Throw your opinion around based on writing not on knowledge of the game
This is crap. Woody Paige sucks.
I would much rather have halted writing from someone with passion for the event they watched than eloquent praise from someone who could give 2 shits.
Why am I not surprised that a guy who works for a shitty style-over-substance network would say that a passion for sports is not a prerequisite for covering sports?
Great email by Woody-watching his on tv persona i would never have imaged him giving this type of advice. Seems very well spoken and knowledgeable.
Seems he forgot this crucial part of his own (and Strunk & White's) advice. Otherwise, as someone who writes for a living, I'd say this is pretty great advice to aspiring sportswriters.
I don't know anything about professional sportswriting, but I would want to get a second opinion after reading that lengthy response from Mr. Paige. What's the point of being a sportswriter if you aren't a fan of at least one of the teams? It's an academic exercise at that point. It seems counterintuitive to me.
Not sure of the venue, but I've seen stories about both Rosenberg and Snyder indicating that they try to disocciate themselves from the subject being covered. (I know, fine job they did while hacking away at Rich Rodriguez.)
I remember reading Rosenberg whining about having to fly to Pittsburgh during the Cup Finals the Wings won, having lost Game 5 at the Joe, and having to fly that night/next day to PA. And Snyder saying essentially the same, while being compared by the Daily to our own MGoBrian...do I have that recollection correct? Didn't Snyder kind of make a point that he had to be dispassionate, not share the enthusiasm or joy of fandom?
(Which then puts the glee at the DB presser where Rodriguez was whacked at direct odds to the whole "journalistic integrity" crap - no clapping in the press box, etc.)
Don't know that the sports journalism career is really journalism, or bombastic op/ed crapulence...seems like ages since there's been excellent writing in the local papers. Most of the print media is now AP/Reuters cut and paste!
i'm fairly certain knowing how to write and knowing what you're writing about are not mutually exclusive, contrary to mr. paige's suggestion
Much of it can be applied to whatever field one desires as their profession.
Although I give anyone credit who would voluntarily respond to a simple inquiry.
I like the advice about how to be successful, work harder, be passionate, creative. I don't know how you can do those things as a sportswriter if you don't care about sports. Having knowledge of what yo u are covering can only help in my opinion. Woddy seems to think it only hurts. This is just odd.
Wow, based on how I just wrote that I'm screwed if I want to be in journalism. Yikes.
...that you should not have knowledge about sports. In fact a good writer must have a knowledge about the subject on which he is writing. He is saying that having a passion for sports, in particular for a team is detremental to ones ability to write about the subject. He will let his passion get in the way of the facts and change his perception about what happened.
As a writer, it is more important to have a passion about the theatre of the game and what occured rather than the outcome. Knowing that a particular play was a critcial point in the game on which you are writing is very important and that is where the knowledge of the game comes in. Caring about which team or player was on the benefical end of said play is what will affect the writing in a detremental manner.
I think that one reason is that everyone starts off at the Bumblefucktown Gazette covering Little League baseball. In other words, you break into the business covering something you couldn't care less about, so you have to enjoy the work.
I don't particularly like Paige but he's right in saying sports writers shouldn't be specifically sports writers. Editors are initerested in people who can write about a wide breadth of topics, not just sports. A lot of journalists were history or political science majors, and I'm guessing there are many sports writers who took the same path in college.
As someone who briefly worked for a small-town newspaper like the ones Woody described as a good place to start, I think that all his advice could not be more correct.
I deeply enjoy sports, but when you're covering sports in a small town, you have to rely on quality writing to attract readers, especially when you're covering low profile events such as high school tennis or wrestling (even uneven high school football games). Sure, passion would help, but you don't learn passion. You learn how to write, and to progress in your career as a sports writer, being a skilled writer means so much more than being passionate.
Furthermore, my opinions on anything related to college football were tainted because of my loyalty to Michigan football. I wasn't the main sports writer at my paper, so I rarely got an opportunity to write an opinion column (we had a very small newsroom so I was frequently covering sports but rarely opining on anything in print). Having a strong loyalty to a team comes through in your writing, which serves to undermine your credibility and alienate readers.
This is a great e-mail for anyone looking to be a sports journalist because it describes the reality of the profession well. The job is only for the people willing to put in the tough hours at the small papers while being detached enough that you understand appreciate/sports but don't have any deep loyalties that will slant your perspectives.
Thanks for posting this, it was a great read.
I never worked in journalism, but I've always loved writing. Writing well is absolutely critical to success in many professions, inlcuding journalism. I'm currently an IT auditor, and it's the ability to write that sets people apart. There are plenty of people who understand technology who can't write a coherent report, and they'll never make good auditors because of this.
Writing is very important if you want to be in managment as well. I've seen plenty of people write crappy emails complaining about how they can't "get ahead", yet when you read the email, you see why. They don't take the time - or have the knowledge - to write intelligently. And as a manager, you'll write a lot, and be judged based on that writing.
Back to Woody. It's interesting that he does not care about sports because he is on shows like Around the Horn where he has such strong opinions on sports. Which demonstrates that most of it is an act. Drew Sharp is an act. I remember reading once that somone claimed to have met Michael Savage and he said that most of his show is an act. There is a market out there for opinions, so people give it to them. But many times it's really not even that person's opinion, it's just a show to attract attention. It's smart when you think about it. And it makes you wonder why we should listen, or get angry listening to commentators of all sorts.
Now that's totally different from objective journalism, and yes, journalists should try not to have strong opinions (like be a fan of a team) in the field they are covering. One of the criticisms of jounalists in general in the younger generation is they don't care about objectivity any more. But I'm more inclinded to go with what Brian says: bias is unimportant because everyone is biased; it's being accurate that matters.
End self-important pompus post.
Paige knows that blogs are eating into his profession and he has to hate them. He can dismiss them all he wants, but he can't change the fact that business and writing are done differently nowadays. He also can't change the fact that blogs are taking over the business.
I agree with him on the fundamentals of writing, though. There are a lot of alternate ways for writers to make money right now, but not knowing the language is not one of them.
Rim shot.
Blogs distort fact from fiction. Blogs try to pass opinion off as facts. The power of blogs cannot be understated, but they do not hold themselves to the same journalisitc standards as newspapers. Blogs are opinion pieces with writers who have a definitive bias on an issue. The problem is that many blogs are treated as true factual journalism. This is most apparent in politics today. Nearly every day one side will take something written in a blog as fact. A great example is the Obama $2Billion trip to India with 40 warships. A conservative blog picked up a story off another blog in India, which was then quoted and treated as fact by Fox News and a number of US Congressmen.
In my opinion, blogs are hurting journalism as newpapers and media outlets are now feeling the need to combine opinion and facts. Rather than reporting on the facts and allowing the reader to draw his own opinion.
Oh, blogs are the reason the Freep feels the need to combine opinion and facts. Got it.
Woody is cool. I'd pay good money to have him and Bob Knight in a room talking about the training necessary to become part of the print media. Knight being famous for scoffing at the notion that there is any skill in what they do. Something to the effect of: "I learned how to write in the first grade."
Would be a fun spectacle. Maybe Knight would break out his game face too.
If ever there was a time for tl;dr, I'm guessing this is it.
I think it's awesome that he took the time to write that response and there is probably a lot of merit to most of what he says. HOWEVA, I think Mgoblog's creator would disagree with the argument that you shouldn't become a sports writer because you love sports.
I think its a changing of the guard. The new school that Bill Simmons brought on is all about sportswriters also being fans. Brian fits into that mold.
Woody is a from a different time and generation, where you couldn't become attached to any one team otherwise you were considered a homer and not a serious journalist. Obviously that will color his world view.
Angelique Chengelis is a good example. Do you think you would take her as seriously if she professed her love of Michigan? Do you take Rosenberg as seriously now that you think that he had a bias against Rodriguez?
Being able to remember some of the crap he wrote during the heights of the Wings/Avs rivalry I have a hard time taking Paige seriously. I mean he's probably not an Avs fan, but he certainly wrote like he was one, and a dim witted Avs fan at that. His lack of interest in sports though makes some of the things he wrote make more sense, still craptastic journalism though.
Don't become a writer to cover sports. Be a writer and then cover sports.
1. He didnt have to write the kid back.
2. No Doubt he worked hard to get to where he is.
3. No Doubt he works hard now.
Not my fav on TV, but he entertains... Impressed with his advice.

Woman killed during storms
SHAWANO, Wis. (AP) – Severe storms packing winds estimated at 90 to 100 mph damaged residential property, downed power lines and toppled trees, including one which fatally injured a motorist in Menominee County. Emergency management officials say a woman was killed in Keshena Wednesday night when a tree fell on her vehicle. Authorities say about a dozen homes in the Bonduel area of Shawano County sustained damage. A lightning strike caused a fire at a nursing home forcing the evacuation of approximately 13 residents. They were taken to a sister facility. The National Weather Service says most of the damage in Shawano County was caused by straight-line winds. More than 20,000 utility customers lost power in the storms. By Thursday, crews had restored service to all but about 1,000 customers.

CHICAGO — A dozen people from the Chicago area face federal charges accusing them of using fake checks to steal thousands of dollars.
Federal prosecutors announced the charges on Monday. Twelve defendants were indicted on federal bank fraud charges and five also were charged with aggravated identity theft. Prosecutors say the group succeeded in stealing more than $700,000.
Members of the group are accused of creating both personal and corporate fake checks. Prosecutors say members of the group would cash the bogus checks at various local banks and share the proceeds among themselves.
