A new warning about kids cough syrup, this time it's coming from the drug manufacturers. They plan to change their labels to say kids under four should not take the medicine, more expansive than the FDA's recommendations.
11 News Reporter Jessica Zartler went to the experts to get to the bottom of the cough syrup conundrum.
Heather Schneider is a mother of three. She says when her kids are sick she'll do anything to try and make them feel better.
"They get uptight, kinda cranky," Schneider told 11 News on Tuesday.
Like other parents she turns to cough syrup.
"Mostly just at night. Everytime they start coughing it keeps them awake," said Schneider.
Even working in a doctor's office, she gets confused reading some of the labels and studies for over the counter medicines.
"It's hard to keep on top of everything."
But reaching for the cough syrup may do more harm than good for some children according to medical experts.
Last year the FDA said children under two should stay away from cough syrup.
Tuesday the Consumer Healthcare Products Association said over–the–counter cold and cough medicine should not be given to children under four.
Dr. Melissa Schmalz of Western Medical Associates has read the studies and says cold and cough syrups are overrated all together.
"They show either minimal benefit to no benefit across the board, even in adults," Dr. Schmalz told 11 News on Tuesday.
She says most of the problems with giving them to kids come from overdosing and accidental ingestion, the leading causes for injury among children.
But as long as you follow the directions, she says cough syrups are safe for kids ages two to 11.
"If they're miserable the side effects are usually mild in children ages two to 11. You can go ahead if you think the benefits outweight the risks."
The doctor says a good night's rest, fluids and some tylenol might be a better answer at the end of the day.
But parents like Heather Schneider say they'll have a hard time switching away from cold and cough syrups.
And while the FDA continues to change its mind, she's just glad she won't be having anymore babies.
"No I'm done. I'm definitely done, three's enough."
FDA advisors say more studies are needed but in the meantime, researchers do not see a reason to pull current medication off the shelf.
New label changes should be phased in sometime over the next year.

I'm heading there in a few months and the lodge apparently has a network of Mangrove back bays that offer some options for some DIY. Has anyone been there? Tried your luck in the mangroves? Success?
I'm heading there in a few months and the lodge apparently has a network of Mangrove back bays that offer some options for some DIY. Has anyone been there? Tried your luck in the mangroves? Success?
go to ambergiscaye.com and register for the bulletin board. Pescador posts a weekly lodge report. Although a "homer report" it'll give you an idea of what they are doing.
I caught lots of bone fish on my own on the north end of the island. I was on an anniversary trip with my wife who does not fish so I only fished from 5 am to 7 am each morning. I did best on undeveloped parts of shoreline. There were 10 -12 inch bone fish right in front of our condo at Co Co Beach which i did not mess with . Most places are not good wading.
Globalflyfisher did a do it yourself trip on your end of the island years ago so you should be able to find it on their website

Fantastic- Thanks Guys!!
El Pescador is THE BEST! My wife and I love it there and the fishing is great. Kinda wondering with all the fishing they have why you want to DIY in the Mangroves? Take LOTS of bug spray if you go into the Mangroves, lots. They have a place behind the lodge that you can get in with a Yak and get out a paddle around, so yes it is possible and doable. The folks there are great. Who is going to be the head fly guide when you go, Ed or Lori? Never been with Lori, been twice with Ed and really like him.
Thanks MarkF- thats great to hear!I booked it through Ed, so I assume its him. I did a couple days through him in Mexico and he has been great to deal with! The DIY part was for the evenings as Im going solo so hope to squeeze in as much as possible. When you were there was there any particular fly/colour outside of the usual stuff that seemed to work?
They use a lot of crazy charlies. I did well with bone fish bitters. Make sure you have flies of different weights from very light Bead chain eyes to to extra small lead eyes. Belize has one of the best chances for a grand slam( bone fish, permit, tarpon) so you might think about flies for those too.
Thanks ok- appreciate the tips! ive been tying everything so hopefully I have the bases covered.
Great timing ! Just booked a trip there for end of July. Please report back and save a few for me! Rich

My gf and I went in the fall of 2013 and booked through Orvis travel.
It was outstanding---we took advantange of the 2 for one deal. Every detail was thought out. I highly recommend it.
Kathy got a nice tarpon on spinning gear and plenty of bones on fly. I spooked a permit, caught unlimited bonefish, some jacks, snapper and cudas on fly.
The fly of the day was the Gotcha.
The food was great, the service great, thry made you feel like we were their house guests.
This was my second trip, the first done by ourselves and id never do that again after staying at El Pescador.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore flusters foes with his sniper-like arm, his knack for finding the open guy anywhere on the field and just plain outwitting defensive coordinators.
His Nevada counterpart gives defenses fits in different ways.
Colin Kaepernick is elusive, fast enough to beat linebackers around the edge and unafraid to use his legs to flee a collapsing pocket.
But Moore and Kaepernick also share some common ground.
They are the best quarterbacks in the Western Athletic Conference. Kaepernick was voted the WAC's top offensive player last year, while Moore was named the league's top freshman, and both will be vying for MVP honors at the end of this season.
They are also big reasons why the No. 6 Broncos and streaking Wolfpack (8-3, 7-0 WAC) will play for the conference title Friday night at Bronco Stadium.
"They're so very different, but so very good," said Bronco cornerback Kyle Wilson, who lines up against Moore every day in practice and faced Kaepernick each of the last two seasons. "I'm not sure who I'd rather play against. Pick your poison."
Either way, both are lethal.
Moore has propelled the 11-0 Broncos to a second straight undefeated season thanks to his ability to carve up defensive secondaries. He is the nation's most accurate passer (168.8), has 33 touchdowns and just three picks, his last coming three games and more than 70 throws ago. He orchestrates a Bronco offense that averages a national best 44 points per game and rolls up an average of 456 yards.
He also wins - a lot. Since taking over the Bronco offense at the start of last year, the lefty has compiled a 23-0 regular season record. His only loss was a 17-16 nailbiter against TCU in last year's Poinsettia Bowl.
"Moore has tremendous, tremendous pocket presence," said Nevada coach Chris Ault, who has presided over some of the best passing attacks in WAC history. "And he has excellent skill players at the receiver spots."
But where Moore excels at throwing darts through holes in the defense, Kaepernick prefers to run through them.
Five times this season Kaepernick has rushed for more than 100 yards. He is one of three Wolfpack players to rush for more than 1,000 yards this season and his 2,738 career rushing yards place him 15th all time among NCAA quarterbacks.
He also knows how to frustrate the Broncos.
In fact, Kaepernick had his coming out party in Boise two years ago when the Broncos edged the Wolfpack in four overtimes 69-67, the most points scored in a game since record keeping began in 1937. As a redshirt freshman making his first start, Kaepernick was a one-man Bronco buster, throwing three TDs, running for two more and accounting for 420 total yards in the thriller.
The 6-foot, six-inch junior has been hard to stop ever since. Along with running backs Vai Taua and Luke Lippincott, Kaepernick leads the nation's best rushing attack, a unit that has trampled opponents for an average of 455 yards on the ground during the Wolfpack's eight-game winning streak.
Boise State's stingy defense will be focused on stopping the run. But coach Chris Petersen says it'd be foolish to ignore Kaepernick's ability to pass and make plays while scrambling.
"I think he's just taken a step every year. And they've honed him in to exactly how they want to use him and play to his strengths," Petersen said. "He can hurt you throwing it, there is no question about it. But even if you've got guys in position, he is fast, fast, fast."
For Moore, there is a mutual respect, if not a little envy. While Moore can be effective dashing from the pocket, he's not feared for his running ability and often takes a ribbing from teammates for his less than fleet feet.
"It'll be fun," Moore joked of the pre-game hype surrounding the high-profile quarterbacks. "Certainly I'm in no way similar to him. He's going to run around and make some plays. It'll be fun watching him. He's one of those dual threat type of guys. It'll be cool."

There are flagrant, undefined loopholes in Maryland's abortion law. That's what letter writer Jeffrey D. Meister, director of administration and legislation for Maryland Right to Life, would have us think ("Maryland has de factor abortion on demand," May 17).
What do "health" and a minor's "best interests" mean under Maryland's abortion law? Their plain meaning is derived from an ordinary understanding of the words, most often found in a dictionary. That's the analysis favored by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Health is the "condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit," according to http://www.merriam-webster.com.
Interest is defined as "advantage; good; benefit" in Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary.
When a physician violates the clearly defined provisions of the law, he or she is subject to civil or criminal penalty.

We have some exciting news to share with you. Two weeks ago we started a project we've wanted to do for some time: Upgrading the Gitorious UI.
The goal is to simplify interaction, tone down some less useful features, improve code-browsing, and lose some technical debt on the front-end side of our code base. In short, we're hoping to make Gitorious more useful and easier to work with.
Since we're a small team of core committers with no professional designer on-board, we decided to base the new UI on Twitter Bootstrap to get a good visual baseline right off the bat. This provides us with a functional design that is easy to work with. Working with a component-based UI framework like this allows us to revise the UI fairly quickly, and will also improve our ability to iterate on and tweak the UI going forward.
What's changing?
We started working with the repository pages, partly because that's where most people spend most of their time on Gitorious, and because code-browsing is one of the most important features Gitorious provides. Code-browsing is also one the areas where we feel Gitorious can benefit the most from a UI upgrade. Eventually we hope to redesign the entire UI, but that is a big undertaking so we're shooting for finishing slices of functionality. For a transitional period, we will live with the old and the new UI side-by-side.
Some concrete improvements you can expect to see:
- Better syntax highlighting
- Support for vast amounts of new languages (through Pygments)
- Better repository tree browsing
- More mobile friendly pages
- Readme-rendering
- Better visual separation between private and public repositories
- Less, yet more consistent navigation
How will this affect gitorious.org?
When the new repository pages are completed, we will deploy gitorious.org from the new branch (not yet available). In other words, you can expect to see the revamped repository live on gitorious.org in a few weeks. We will post an update when we have a better of idea of exactly when this happens.
How this will affect local installs?
- We will cut at least one minor version, probably several, of the mainline repo before we start merging the new UI into the master branch.
- Local installs are generally advised to stay with tagged versions. If you follow that advice, you will get the new UI when 3.0 is out.
- Custom frontend theming and other kinds of skinning will likely break. We're not making efforts to keep these backwards-compatible, but we will document the main changes.
How will this affect local installs commercially supported by Gitorious AS?
We will work with our customers to find the best way to upgrade the UI, after the 3.0 version has landed and been proven stable in the wild.
Suggestions? Ideas?
We're sure many of our users – be it on gitorious.org, or some local install – have some thoughts on what they want from the web UI. We invite you to give us your feedback: pain points, suggestions for new/improved features or any other ideas you might have. Please leave a comment here, or email us at email@example.com.
Status of the project
Currently, we're developing a static prototype in order to quickly get enough pages up and running to make some observations on the overall coherence of the new UI. Next step is to start implementing the design in the actual application. The repository tree browser is a hot candidate to start with, as we will likely develop that as a separate library/application. You can expect to see commits on gitorious.org/gitorious before the end of August. In the meantime, you'll have to do with the following screenshots:
We want to work with you on this upgrade, so please let us know what you think/want/don't want!

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Police arrested a man after they say he stole from a store, and then tried to return the merchandise at the same chain.
Lexington Police were called to the Castle Jewelry store on Richmond Road on Friday afternoon. Employees told police that a man showed up at the store, trying to sell back merchandise that had been stolen from a Castle Jewelry store in Pikeville.
"Highly unusual for an individual to steal from a store and try to sell those stolen items at the same store in a different location," said Lexington Police spokesperson Sherelle Roberts.
In addition to stolen items in the store, police say they found another $18,840.10 in merchandise. Police say they also found a mini pry bar, wire cutters and a metal file on the suspect.
Seth Scott faces several charges, including receiving stolen property and possession of burglary tools. He's set to answer to those charges in a Fayette County courtroom on Monday.

amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research
Powell Calls Asia's HIV/AIDS Epidemic 'Destructive'
At a June conference of Asian leaders in Cambodia, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, called the region's HIV/AIDS epidemic "more destructive than any weapon of mass destruction."
Powell told the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum that the SARS epidemic has demonstrated the social, economic and political toll infectious diseases can take. He suggested that the lessons learned from the SARS outbreak could be used to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS.
"In Asia, millions are affected. Unless we act, millions will die. No country is immune, all countries are vulnerable," Powell said (Agence France-Presse, 6/18/03). He announced that U.S. envoys in the region would meet in late June in Bangkok to discuss ways the U.S. could assist Asian nations.
Syringe Exchange Takes Root in Indonesia
The alarming rise in needle-borne HIV and hepatitis infections has forced Indonesia to condone harm-reduction programs (Christian Science Monitor, 5/8/03). As of May, two needle exchange programs were operating quietly in Indonesia with government backing, if not explicit legal approval. Six more plan to open around the country by the end of 2003.
In Indonesia, where strict drug laws include penalties for carrying a needle without a doctor's prescription, conservative views are changing in response to the precipitous rise in HIV/AIDS cases.
Asian Nations Aim to Bolster Rights of Children
Twenty-five countries in East Asia and the Pacific agreed to step up measures against child exploitation and drug trafficking at the Sixth East Asia and Pacific Ministerial Consultation on Children in May. Drug trafficking and unprotected sex fuel the spread of HIV in the region where half of the infected population is under 25.
UNICEF presented statistics showing that children in East Asia and the Pacific are particularly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. In Indonesia, more than 80 percent of 14- to 17-year-olds have little or no knowledge of HIV/AIDS, and 70 percent don't know what a condom is. In Cambodia, one third of infections are caused by mother-to-child transmission. Eleven million children are expected to be AIDS orphans by 2010.
"All the hard-earned gains for children in such areas as poverty reduction, education and nutrition will be swept away if we do not confront the HIV/AIDS threat," said UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy (UNICEF release, 5/7/03)
Hemophiliacs Sue Over HIV-Contaminated Products
Thousands of hemophiliacs from around the world filed a class-action suit June 2 against drug maker Bayer and other drug companies. The complainants alleged that in the mid-1980s, the companies knowingly sold blood-clotting products that had a high risk for transmitting HIV because they were made from blood that was contaminated with HIV and hepatitis C (AIDS Policy and Law, 6/2/03).
The suit came less than two weeks after The New York Times reported that during the 1980s, Bayer AG's Cutter Biological Division sold an old version of Factor VIII—a drug that can stop or prevent potentially fatal bleeding in hemophiliacs—in Asia and Latin America while marketing a newer, safer product in the U.S. and Europe that had been heat-treated to kill HIV. The article said Cutter shipped more than 100,000 vials of unheated concentrate worth more than $4 million to countries including Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore. At least 100 hemophiliacs in Hong Kong and Taiwan alone contracted AIDS after using the older product.
In response to the Times report, Bayer AG said it had acted responsibly and in line with the best medical knowledge at the time, which included concerns that heat-treating might make the medicine less safe or less effective (Associated Press, 5/23/03).
Grandmother Cycles To Raise Funds, Awareness
A 62-year-old grandmother from Singapore was among 35 cyclists who biked 950 km in Malaysia in June to raise money for the country's HIV/AIDS programs. The event, Riding for Life 2003, was organized by the Malaysian Foundation and Action for AIDS Singapore.
Margaret Wong said she cycled about 70 km every Sunday over three months to prepare for the event. But it was sheer determination that helped her complete the final course. "It was tough because of the difficult terrain and hot weather," Wong said.

Norwich boss Chris Hughton not thinking about possible departures in January
Chris Hughton is not thinking about possible January departures at Norwich, with strengthening of greater concern.
Last Updated: 19/12/12 12:46pm
Norwich have moved to tie Wes Hoolahan onto fresh terms, but there are no plans to open talks with any other senior stars.
With the club having recovered well from a slow start to the 2012/13 Premier League campaign to move into the top half of the table, there is a chance that a number of their players will attract attention in the New Year.
Hughton, though, claims to be giving little thought to sales, with there a confidence inside Carrow Road that key men will be retained.
He said in the Pink'un: "Am I concerned? No, I think if you concern yourself with that, you drive yourself mad.
"I've got a squad that's pushing very, very hard to make sure they're in the starting XI. I've got a group of lads I like to think are enjoying their football and it's probably not something that's on my mind."
Hughton is, however, giving plenty of thought to possible incomings, with Norwich's fine form over recent weeks likely to make his job of luring players to the club that much easier.
He added: "The best time, of course, is always the summer. That's the time when you can embed players into the squad.
"We brought in eight players in the summer and it gives you an opportunity to do that. January is one we will always continue to look at but if you said to me, 'Are we definitely going to bring in people?', the answer is I don't know.
"I think if you asked anybody if they could strengthen their team, or the squad, then most people would say yes, they would. But it's not as easy as that."

|Grilled Salmon with Chili-Lime Sauce (Plah Sah-mohn Pao)
September, 2005
Serves 6 / Thais eat lots and lots of fish. Salmon is not traditionally Thai, but I use it here because its flavor fits right in with Thai seasonings. You can also use catfish, tilapia, or other firm fish. Try the sauce with anything steamed, fried, or grilled.
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and stems
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons canola or olive oil
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets (or tuna, snapper, cod, catfish, or tilapia)
Sauce (optional)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh hot green chili, such as jalapeño
1 teaspoon finely chopped cilantro
1. For the marinade, combine garlic, cilantro leaves and stems, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and oil in a food processor or blender and grind to a fairly smooth paste. (Or grind in a mortar with pestle, combining solid ingredients and then stirring in liquid ingredients.) Transfer to a medium bowl or large zip-top bag and add fish fillets, turning gently to season well. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 day.
2. For the sauce, combine fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and garlic in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve sugar. Sprinkle with chili and cilantro and set aside.
3. Coat a grill rack with cooking spray and preheat, or lightly oil a shallow baking pan and preheat oven to 425°. Remove fish from marinade and cook until done, turning once, about 5 minutes per side (longer for thicker fillets). Arrange on a serving platter, along with a small bowl of sauce, if using, to spoon over fish. Serve hot or warm.
PER SERVING: 286 cal, 52% fat cal, 16g fat, 3g sat fat, 75mg chol, 25g protein, 9g carb, 0g fiber, 624mg sodium

While Citigroup's downgrade of Apple Inc. AAPL stock earlier this week received much attention, what hadn't was that the brokerage expects the iPhone maker's capital expenditure to rise sharply in the coming two years – something that may have a bearing on the company's supply-chain in Asia.
Citigroup estimates Apple's capex to rise to $10 billion in 2013, up 21% from the level in 2012, and to surge further to $13 billion in 2014.
Graeme McDonald, Citigroup's analyst tracking Japan's Fanuc Ltd. FANUY JP:6954, wrote in a report Monday that while Apple's capex was set to rise, capex for Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. TW:2317 — which assembles various Apple products — was estimated to drop 23% in 2013 to 60 trillion Taiwan dollars USDTWD, or just above $2 billion. Read blog on Citi's downgraded view of iPhone 5 shipments.
"Our understanding is that Apple is bearing a greater proportion of the capex relating to the production of the iPhone and iPad mini, and as such, we are more focused on the actual spending at Apple," McDonald said.
He noted that Fanuc is a major supplier of robodrills to Hon Hai, with an estimated 18% of Fanuc's sales in the year to March 2013 depending on the Apple value chain. He said that when Fanuc announces its fiscal third-quarter results in January, the main focus will be on its new orders rather than the earnings, as usual.

Mrs MIRABELLA (Indi) (18:16): In speaking on the Electoral and Referendum Amendment (Maintaining Address) Bill 2011 and cognate bill I will attempt to be more sober in my approach than the member for Banks. It is understandable at times that there is a competition about who can be more hairy-chested about being more democratic in this place, and the integrity of the electoral roll is absolutely fundamental to the integrity of our democracy. We do not have huge variations in the number of seats which switch from one party to another when there is a general election. Often an election is decided on a handful of votes in a handful of seats. That places an even greater emphasis on doing what we can to have as accurate an electoral roll as possible. That is why the integrity of the electoral roll is absolutely central to the integrity of our democracy.
I was rather perplexed by some of the comments made by the member for Banks when he spoke of some people in the opposition wanting to disenfranchise people and somehow having different classes of people. What absolute rubbish! What absolute rubbish, invoking some nebulous class war argument that here is the opposition thinking there are classes of people who we should lock out of the voting system. How absolutely absurd. This is obviously just another time filler, because at the moment everyone is equal. Everyone who qualifies as an Australian citizen has gained the privilege of enrolling and of voting in our system. Somehow there is this Orwellian language when we speak of our democracy and elections—it is quite perverse—saying that somehow we are a better democracy if Big Brother decides on people's enrolment and their change of address details; Big Brother is there to look after all these people who are incapable of doing it themselves. That, friends on the other side, is the arrogance and the elitism that is a central part of your argument, because, in our current system, Australians who are eligible to vote have the right and the obligation to enrol.
We have significant problems on this side, and it begins with but goes beyond the fundamental belief that individuals should be active participants in their democracy. We cannot force people to be active or to care. Quite frankly, when they look at the state of the current political system federally, do you wonder why they do not care and that they watch events in this place with utter despair and disappointment?
This legislation removes personal responsibility from an elector to fill out an enrolment form, to fill in their details. At the 2007 election over 20,600 votes were multiple votes. It has been noted, particularly by opposition Senator Scott Ryan, who takes a particular interest in these matters, with great disappointment, which I have to say I share, that the Australian Electoral Commission did not prosecute any cases of fraudulent voting. It disturbs me that there were so many multiple votes, and these sorts of things should be investigated. If we want to say that we have an open and transparent democracy, we need to look at these issues and examine them. Another significant problem is: how can you arm appropriate authorities with the best information to tackle fraud when you remove one of those matters that is examined in determining whether there has been electoral fraud—that is, an elector's signature? When they enrol, they fill in the enrolment form and sign it. Automatic enrolment just does away with that. That disturbs me significantly. And we see how automatic enrolment will occur. We are told that the AEC will use data sources. They will have the sole discretion to use so-called 'reliable and current data', and it is an opt-out system. If you do not object within 28 days, then you are automatically added to the roll. There are significant problems with that. Can someone in the Labor Party please explain why a potential elector is not trusted to fill in their enrolment form but they are trusted with a vote? Why cannot those opposite, who are pursuing this legislation, have the basic respect for potential voters to allow them the privilege to actually enrol to vote and to change their details?
We can see an enormous array of problems when it comes to updating people's enrolment details, for a whole number of reasons, and yet these are utterly brushed aside. When we look at the so-called reliable data that is going to be used, let us look at some government information. I can see the member for Melbourne Ports bursting to have a go. I think you are on next, mate, so just do not get too excited. The fact that one government, which may have been of my persuasion, at some time in the past used data for a particular purpose does not mean that that data was absolutely accurate and infallible. No government data in an aggregate sense would be more accurate than an individual actually choosing to fill in the electoral form, whether to go onto the roll or to change their details.
So what is reliable and current data? We are told that this will be determined by the Australian Electoral Commission themselves, and we have serious concerns about this because there are flaws in data that the government collects. Let us just look at some details. There are 185,000 potential duplicate tax records for individuals; 62 per cent of deceased clients were not recorded as deceased in a sample match; and, when we look at tax file numbers, there were 3.2 million more tax file numbers than people in Australia at the last census. So there are flaws. There are mistakes with data because it requires data entry. There is human error involved in all of that. So let us not pretend that Big Brother, assembling and amassing a whole lot of information, is superior to that individual Australian who has the privilege of filling out that enrolment form. It just makes absolute nonsense to say that that is the case. The Labor Party goes on to essentially say: 'Well, everything is excusable. There'll be a few mistakes. That's okay because our overriding concern is maximising the franchise.' That is the argument.
Mr Danby: Democracy! Democracy!
Mrs MIRABELLA: 'Democracy!' my friend from Melbourne Ports calls out. As a proud custodian of the culture and philosophy that gave the world democracy, Member for Melbourne Ports, I am a very proud advocate of democracy, but don't we find it somewhat ironic that we have a government saying, 'We want democracy'? What is democracy? If we break it down, it is the will of the people. So we have Big Brother telling the people: 'This is your will. We will enrol you.' How utterly absurd. How counterintuitive. The Labor Party can talk about democracy all they like, whilst they disrespect the intelligence of the Australian people to enrol to vote. If there are issues, we have worked over decades on electoral education, on getting people onto the roll. But this attempt to introduce automatic enrolment and to have automatic changes to people's address details will only increase problems with the integrity of the roll because there are already embedded problems with the correctness of the information in the data with which this automatic enrolment and changes to the enrolment will be undertaken.
It is not actually that difficult and it is not actually that onerous to fill out an enrolment form. It is absolutely absurd to say, 'That is such a high bar.' If you take that to its logical conclusion, then, for so many things that we need to be proactive to fill in forms about, why don't we just dispense with that? Why don't we have Big Brother in every department just making decisions about what we should do? That is the logical conclusion of what the Labor Party are proposing. They expect us, on this very, very important issue of the integrity of the electoral roll, to just have blind faith that the 'reliable and current data source', which has no definition, which will be at the discretion of the commission, will be absolutely flawless. We cannot accept that because we have seen data that is flawed.
They hold up the automatic enrolment in New South Wales, and that has not been without its problems. Only 12 per cent of people who had their details automatically changed in New South Wales—at the state level—then enrolled themselves federally. As a result, electoral commissions at both federal and state level are having extraordinary difficulty in contacting people. This is just one example of the problems you get with automatic enrolment.
We do not believe that government knows best. We do not believe in the nanny state. We believe in upholding and respecting the rights and responsibilities of individual Australian citizens to change their enrolment forms and details. Beyond that, we think there is great scope to water down the integrity of the electoral roll. I do not have a view about the voting intentions of one group of people as opposed to another—we see a very fluid change in the Australian community. What I am concerned about is Big Brother making big mistakes and watering down this great democracy of ours.

Hitman: Absolution caught headlines not too long ago with a controversial trailer that showed Agent 47 killing some PVC-clad nuns. IO Interactive apparently didn't see that coming, and the game director says the team took a step back and made some changes based on the feedback.
"We learned from the trailer that we really needed to give these characters some context and some backstory," director Tore Blystad said.
"We're working within the game - within that level - to build these characters up before you meet them. That way you know what you're getting and you aren't put off by them." He sees the game as styled after a Grindhouse movie, and says setting that tone with the trailer made it surprising to see the reaction.
Blystad also told Eurogamer that going into that stage guns blazing like we saw in the trailer is "one way to go about that level," but says "it's not the smartest way."

In a new twist to an old trick designed to separate honest people from their money, a well-known scam in disguise is being targeted at dog lovers. If someone is interested in buying a dog online, they may be vulnerable to this con.
They are offered a dog, often of a rare and expensive breed, at a too-good-to-be-true price, but during the course of transporting the dog to them, additional fees crop up. They may be asked to send $1600 for insurance to ship the puppy or $1000 for vaccinations and a new pet carrier. Requests for food or for emergency veterinary care are sometimes made. Fees as much as $4600 have been requested to spring the puppy out of quarantine. By the time many victims realize that something isn't right and that the puppy will NEVER be delivered, it's too late, and any money they have already sent is gone forever.
This pet scam is a type of 4-1-9 scam, the most famous of which is the Nigerian Scam. In that scenario, the criminal contacts potential victims and claims to have a large fortune that needs to be transferred out of Nigeria. They say that in exchange for helping them with the transfer, they will be given a percentage of the millions of dollars. A variety of reasons are given for being unable to do so without help from an overseas partner. Usually, they have to do with legal technicalities related to their position in the government. Once the victim expresses interest, they are told of various fees and expenses required to make the transfer happen. People are often willing to pay a little now for the promise of a large fortune later, which is how they fall prey to the crime. Fees for multiple failed transfers and legal fees only serve to part people from their money.
Beware of all related scams and don't let adorable puppy pictures cloud your good judgment. As investigators of such crimes often say, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

Duquesne 94, Kent State 63
Ohio State 83, VCU 71
George Mason 82, Utah Valley 64
Duquesne 94, Kent State 63
KENT, Ohio - Raegan Moore scored a career-high 35 points and set a new school record by recording nine 3-point baskets in Duquesne's 94-63 victory at Kent State on Thursday night. Moore shot an impressive 75 percent (9-of-12) from beyond-the-arc and was 55 percent (11-of-20) overall.
With the win the Dukes improve to 2-1 on the season, while Kent State falls to 1-1.
Belma Nurkic added 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting. All 10 players in uniform scored in the game. April Robinson recorded a career-high 11 assists. Wumi Agunbiade had a team-high 7 rebounds.
KSU's Amber Dunlap led the Golden Flashes with 16.
The Dukes started the game off slowly, only making two of their first nine shots and were held without any points until Moore's layup at the 15:46 mark of the 1st half.
With the contest tied at 16-16 with 11:10 remaining in the half, Kent State's Martina Johnson was called for a travel and a technical foul after spiking the ball to the ground. From there, the Dukes went on a 24-4 run over the next 7:30 to take a commanding 40-20 lead with 3:16 remaining. Duquesne's defense did not yield a field goal for the final 6:58 of the half, holding the Golden Flashes to only five foul shots. Duquesne went into halftime leading 47-25, 19 of the points came from Moore.
The closest Kent State would come in the second half was 16 points when CiCi Shannon's layup made the score 58-42 with 12:01 to play. Moore answered with her sixth 3-pointer seven seconds later which started a 19-8 run over the six minutes. The rally was capped by Moore's eighth's 3-pointer which her set a new career-high and made the score 77-50.
Moore's recorded her record-setting ninth 3-pointer with 1:01 remaining in the game. The Dukes called timeout as Moore checked out of the game to a standing ovation.
As a team, Duquesne finished 31-of-64 (48.4 percent) from the floor and 12-of-23 (52.2 percent) from 3-point range. The Dukes out-rebounded the Golden Flashes 39-26 and scored 29 points off turnovers to KSU's eight.
Duquesne hosts defending Horizon League champion Green Bay on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m.
George Mason 82, Utah Valley 64
George Mason (2-1) opened up its home season with a big 82-64 win over Utah Valley (1-2) in the Patriots home opener on Thursday behind a career night from fifth-year senior Janaa Pickard.
Pickard, a Philadelphia native, set a new Patriot Center record with a career-high 21 rebounds along with a career-high 21 points. As a team, Mason out-rebounded the Wolverines 53-36 leading to 27 second-chance points.
Senior Kyana Jacobs gave Mason a 4-2 lead in the first minute of play and the Patriots held on from there. Jacobs would end the night with 13 points, while sophomore Taylor Brown registered 17 points.
The win wasn't without adversity. Mason weathered a 12-2 Wolverine run in the middle of the first half. However, Mason would take a 56-34 lead into the break shooting a season high 50-percent from the field, going 7-for-13 from behind the arc.
Senior Darryce Moore scored a career-high 20 points on 9 of 9 shooting and notched her second consecutive double-double with 10 rebounds to lead Ohio State to an 83-71 win over visiting VCU Thursday night in front of 4,254 fans at Value City Arena.
The win improves Ohio State to 3-0 on the season while VCU falls to 1-1.
Senior Robyn Parks led all scorers with a game-high 26 points and helped fuel a furious second half rally but VCU came up short.
Trailing by 19 with less than seven minutes to play, the Rams used an 18-4 run spanning nearly five minutes and pulled within 76-71 on a 3-pointer by sophomore Jessica Pellechio with 1:59 left. However, it was as close as VCU could get as Ohio State went 7-of-10 from the free throw line to close the game.

The X FACTOR featured rock and roll tonight, but did the judges follow the rules? Well, not according to Simon Cowell. After Chris Rene gave a stellar performance of the Bob Marley classic reggae song "Everything's Gonna Be Alright", Cowell accused L.A. Reid of "not following the rules".
Is Bob Marley a rock singer? It appears that it depends on who you ask. He was on the cover of Rolling Stones magazine and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, have you ever considered him anything but a reggae legend?
To summarize the performances tonight, it seems like the judges are letting the contestants mentor them, instead of vice versa. The dream team of judges are hired to mentor the contestants and ensure they pick the proper songs and wardrobe. Unfortunately, it just does not seem to be happening in all cases, which could end up causing some to lose the $5 million dollar prize.
Rachel Crow sounded good and the judges praised her performance, but this was not my favorite choice of songs for her. She still is growing and needs to stick with strong song selections. And in my opinion, her outfit was also not fit for a teen. Last week she was much better.
LeRoy Bell is a great singer. But tonight L.A.Reid called him "boring". I hate to say it, but I have to agree. Although it is good that a 60-year-old gets to live his dreams late in life, he needs to show more energy. If he does not step up his game, LeRoy may be headed home.
Chris Rene actually did sing a reggae song. It may have been outside the realm of rock, but I liked it a lot. He just has a way of making it his own and is a great performer. Although it could be considered "cheating" a bit, this was a good choice for him.
Stacy Francis is a very talented singer. It's unfortunate she is not getting the mentoring she deserves. Her song choice was awful, confirming the mentors need to step up and give them proper guidance. This was not a shining moment for her for the second week in a row, which is disappointing. I really want to see her go far and she does deserve better.
Melanie Amaro has an amazing voice. It is unfortunate that the judges wasted time on discussions of whether it was rock or gospel. Instead they should have spent more time of her brilliant vocals, she sounded incredible!
Josh Krajcik is still the frontrunner. He is definitely the one to beat and was the only one who truly sang a rock song. The authentic vibe that he offers, is certain to have him sailing into the finals. As Simon said "it was bloody fantastic!" And this is coming from someone who is not really in to hard rock.
Astro (Brian Bradley) is a great rapper, so it was puzzling to think how he would pull off a rock song. However, when there is talent….comes incredible performances. He may be a young teen, but has a soul and raw talent far older than his years. It was a great song choice and this kid has what it takes to be a star. And as my mom says, "you can actually understand what he's saying!" We are watching the unveiling of a superstar.
Lakoda Rayne is holding on for dear life. They have no room for error, due to their unfortunate position of being a part of a group. Paula Abdul has given her team the very best mentoring of them all, but there is little hope for them to make it to the end. While they sounded good and probably will do well after the competition, this performance was not enough for them to stick around.
Drew is unique and offers a sound unlike any other. But I am starting to wonder if some may get tired of the same sound each week. It is hard to tell, but I like her and hopes she goes far. Tonight she picked a good song and rocked it, although not all the judges agreed.
Marcus Canty actually stepped up his game this week. Although rock would not be his gig if he made it in the music industry, he still pulled it off. This had to be a tough week for him and had to be scary, but this was one of his best performances to date. He nailed a Janis Joplin song!
Don't forget, next week the show dates change again due to the holiday. So it comes on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bottom two for tomorrow…LeRoy Bell and Lakoda Rayne or I will eat my shoes.

Regular readers may already know that Antarctic Heritage Trust conservators have two 'labs' (or laboratories) at Scott Base, a summer one and a winter one. The summer one is small and in a container outside the main building. Luckily, in winter, the base gets pretty empty and Scott Base staff let us enjoy a very spacious lab inside the base. We will move into the lab once all ship fuel and cargo offloads for the winter season, as they use the space as a temporary staging post. But we were all so excited to start working that we set up a temporary lab inside while two of us began work in the 'summer' lab.
Stefanie starts work in the conservator's cage's dust cabinet
Adjacent to the winter lab is a storage area divided into compartments, by wire fences (each about 8sqm). Jaime, our carpenter conservator, had already planned to have his workshop in one of these 'cages', and we just followed his idea. As the summer scientists left the base, we requested the cages: one for the photography area, one to work in … and so on. We transformed the shelves into benches and, to be really clean in an area that wasn't already ours, we built up a very basic dust cabinet. With several kinds of plastic sheet we made an enclosed area with a window and access holes for our hands and the Dremel, a drill-like tool we use to mechanically remove corrosion from metal artefacts. So, here we are, hands in the cage's cage!
Jaime has set up his workshop for the season
The cages are actually really convenient to isolate the different task areas. When the two people still working in the summer lab join us in the freshly installed winter lab, I'm pretty sure we'll try to keep some of our lovely cages as they are. But we'll let you know …

After reading these boards for quite some time I've learned that bringing the bereaved family food is typically appreciated and an appropriate way of conveying sympathy and support.- when does one bring such food? Do I just drop it off at their home? - there is "reception to follow" the lunch time funeral, would I bring food then? - should I bring something to the wake? More food?- why type and how much food is appropriate?
A few questions as North American funeral etiquette is not something I know a lot about:- when does one bring such food? Do I just drop it off at their home? You really don't need to. We usually drop it off at the home. If you are really close and want the container returned, label it. I suggest disposable containers, and the casserole can be frozen with directions, or food that won't go bad, soon, like cookies.- there is "reception to follow" the lunch time funeral, would I bring food then? No. Usually, Protestants supply the food with their women's group, and the family pays the group for it.- should I bring something to the wake? More food? No food. We usually write a check to the organization for donations that the deceased's family has requested. Right now, for us it is $50 for casual acquaintances, $100 for those close, or whose organizations we really feel strongly about. We are thinking about raising that as we are more affluent now, but started out with $5 when we were really young.That is so flexable - even $10 is appreciated. If you can't do that, the family will probably not really notice and your being there is enough. Believe me. Been there, loved the personal condolences, and sometimes only remembered when I read the reception book. I don't remember who contributed what.- why type and how much food is appropriate? See # 1 above. Usually, just the 9 X 13 casserole or the same size batch of brownies is what we received.I'm close to the family but horribly socially awkward. I just want to help them during this time in the least awkward way.Please, relax. Even if you say or do something awkward, few will remember. Your presence if you can manage it and your caring are all that are important.
Honestly, you don't need to bring/take food at all. A really nice sympathy card that has a heartfelt message with a story or two (funny or otherwise) about the deceased would also be very appreciated. Sometimes people get too much food and that can be a burden too.

Big Blue eye glares at UK workforce
Lay-off consultation starts here
Posted in Business, 11th February 2010 15:36 GMT
IBM has confirmed it is considering making more UK staff redundant, although no final decision has been made.
A conference call this morning informed all UK staff at IBM's Global Services Delivery unit that there would likely be redundancies, depending on the results of the consultation.
We were sent the following statement: "IBM UK is embarking on a process of consultation. It would be inappropriate to discuss the matter further during this consultation period."
An IBM insider told us: "The formal consultation period begins 23 February and will last 90 days. It has come out of the blue and is a total shock. And from a work perspective - we already struggle to get work done with the people we have."
Big Blue laid off 5,000 people last year, mostly in the US.
News of the upcoming lay-offs will go down like ton of bricks with the UK workers. Feelings are already running high after the firm scrapped its final salary pension scheme.
Sandra Gidley, Lib Dem MP for Romsey, raised questions in the Commons last month over the "shoddy" way IBM had treated its employees over pensions. ®

Go compare that to the amount of dictionaries with "bobjoe1" now.
Also keep in mind with a large database dump via SQLi, the attacker would probably run plain text MD5 checks, and not use the leet ruleset.
Impossibility is never a factor. I am stating that if you do as said, it will be more secure. Your argument isn't based correctly. Any password can be cracked or reversed.

The bishop of Savannah will celebrate a Mass of thanksgiving for Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday in the final hours of Benedict's papacy.
Benedict is the first pope to resign in about 600 years.
The Most Rev. Gregory J. Hartmayer will celebrate the noon Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, and the homily will be given by the Rev. Douglas Clark of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Port Wentworth.
"At 2 p.m. our time on Thursday is when the pope's resignation becomes official, and so Bishop Hartmayer wanted to celebrate a Mass of thanksgiving for the pope before he actually goes out of office," said Barbara King, spokeswoman for the Diocese of Savannah.
Hartmayer, in a letter to his priests, wrote that all parishes within the 90-county Diocese of Savannah should celebrate Mass for Benedict on Thursday.
"... I would like all the Masses celebrated that day in the Diocese of Savannah to be for Pope Benedict, for his health and well-being and in thanksgiving for his service to the Church," Hartmayer wrote.
Hartmayer is also asking for churches in the diocese to celebrate Masses praying for the election of a new pope and for Mass to be celebrated when a new pope is named.
To read the full letter from Hartmayer to his priests about the papal resignation, go to www.diosav.org.

When: Noon on Thursday
Where: Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, 222 E. Harris St.

I recently started chatting with a guy on a online dating site. We chatted and seem to get along so I asked if he wanted to meet for coffee sometime, nothing serious, not rly a date just to chat as friends and start a relationship of sorts.
Since I organised the meeting (on tues) we have chatted via SMS but his responses are only ever 2 words which is making me think he doesn't like me, or is reconsidering going to the meeting?
When I say stuff like "My day was good I just worked" his reply is "lol nice". Then when I say "What did you do today? " he says "just went to work". I try to ask him q's to get him to talk but he always gives 2 word answers for some reason like I say "So do u have any pets?" he replies with "lol no". When we first chatted on the online dating site he would give longer answers/chat more.
I have never been on a date/met up with someone (I'm 26 hes 23) so I dont know how to read all this. What do you think?

The hospital hosted a community event for its anniversary, he noted.
The High Five award comes with $100,000 for capital improvement, and that went for remodeling several areas, an obstetrics waiting room and obstetrics area sleeper chairs, Patterson said.
CPMC won a divisional award from LifePoint last year; the previous year, the hospital took the company's overall award.
The criteria include patient care, being a great place for physicians to care for their patients, being a great place for employees to work, being a great community partner and fiscal responsibility.
CPMC added several new staff members, family practitioner Dr. Paula Frantz, internal medicine specialist and hospitalist Dr. Lakshmi Chauhan and family nurse practitioner Lauren Melancon.
Also, Dr. Ken Keller's orthopedic practice has joined CPMC and the hospital's Sterling clinic has expanded.
CPMC has partnered with Wellness Works on developing a physician referral line (1-800-424-DOCS), added a diagnostic sleep lab, expanded its geriatric behavioral health unit from 10 to 14 beds and added an intensive outpatient geriatric behavioral health group therapy program.
This year CPMC plans include converting the X-ray room to digital, which will make the entire radiology department digital.
The $450,000 project should be completed by the end of March, Patterson said.
Focus on quality will continue, he added, with a push to lower rates of re-admissions within 30 days of discharge even lower than the current 5 percent, which is well below the 15 percent national average.
Tim Amen, president of the Fort Morgan Community Hospital Foundation, reported a $5.539 million fund balance, up about $570,000, a very good performance, he said, given economic conditions.
Amen presented outgoing foundation directors Sharon Kauffman and Bob Prevost with plaques; Geoff Taylor and Kim Prevost were elected to the board.
It was also noted that Roger Segura had been appointed to the board to fill a term vacated by Vicki Lehrer.
Association secretary Dr. Neil Schoemaker filled in Monday for president Howard Wickham, who is going off the board and was unable to attend the meeting.
Osh Becker and Marva Bellendir were elected to the association board.

THE Macedon Ranges Shire Council last night elected returning councillor Roger Jukes as mayor.
Newcomer Councillor Russell Mowatt was also sworn in as deputy mayor.
Five new faces took an oath for the first time to assume their position on the council, including Graham Hackett, Jennifer Anderson, John Connor, Russell Mowatt and Sally Piper across three wards.
They were joined by Joe Morabito, Henry McLaughlin, John Letchford and Cr Jukes from the previous council.
Livestock agency owner Ian Madison was sworn in a the Shire of Campaspe's new mayor at a statutory meeting on Monday night alongside returning councillor and new deputy mayor, Greg Toll.
Cr Madison, who served on council from 2005 to 2008, said he felt humbled to take the chair.
He likened the shire to a vessel, saying "we've inherited a great ship, in great shape".
Communication and collaboration were first on the new mayor's agenda, with focus on rural industry.
"There's no doubt there is a perception of a void between council and the community it serves," Cr Madison said.
"We must find a way to communicate and engage with the community; to get the message out about what is being achieved and where we are as a shire – on the road to delivering the services that they require to maintain their community."
Cr Toll said the new-look council brought together a diverse group of people and ideas.
Eight councillors in total were sworn in, including Cr Madison, Emma Bradbury and Paul Jarman representing the Echuca ward, Carol Howell and Neil Pankhurst from the Kyabram-Deakin ward, Leigh Wilson from Rochester ward, Adrian Weston from Waranga ward and Cr Toll from Western ward.
Re-elected councillor Robert Danieli was unavailable to take the oath and will be sworn in later this week.

As a 90-year-old Shawnee man continues to recover from injuries suffered during an assault and robbery that occurred in the restroom of a local store, prosecutors have formally charged a suspect with three felony counts.
As a 90-year-old Shawnee man continues to recover from injuries suffered during an assault and robbery that occurred in the restroom of a local store, prosecutors have formally charged a suspect with three felony counts.
Linny Stallin, 46, is charged in Pottawatomie County District Court with robbery by force and fear, aggravated assault and battery and violation of computer crimes act.
He is accused, on March 28, of robbing the man of his wallet while in the restroom of Big Lots in Shawnee, and "punching and kicking him about the head and body with force and violence," charges read.
Stallin, who was arrested by Shawnee police, was identified as a suspect in the case when he was discovered on video using the man's stolen debit card at a car wash just minutes after the robbery occurred.
The 90-year-old victim in this case is still sore from his injuries after suffering knots to his head, along with cuts, bruises, a black eye and a possible fractured rib, said his wife, who is 83.
When hearing about the charges Thursday, her response was, "That's good news."
The couple, married 65 years, were on a routine shopping trip when the assault and robbery occurred. The woman, who said her husband is already in bad health, said he's been a bit confused and is having headaches following the ordeal, but luckily the suspect didn't get away with too much.
Besides some cash from her husband's wallet, "All he got was $10 to go through the car wash," she added.
The couple was shopping and was preparing to leave the store when the man had to use the restroom. He parked his scooter outside the door and went inside.
While the restroom, Detective Jason Crouch said the victim was beaten and robbed.
He was taken to St. Anthony Shawnee Hospital for treatment of his injuries, where it was discovered his wallet was missing, she said.
Crouch said at first the victim couldn't remember much, but was eventually able to give police a general description of the suspect in the case, so they began pursuing video from the store.
It was later discovered that within about 20 minutes of the robbery, the man's debit card was swiped at the Tunnel car wash near Harrison and 45th Streets, Crouch said.
Detectives, with assistance from that business, canvassed the surveillance videos there, which led to videotape showing the suspect that was using the couple's debit card to pay for a car wash. Police made an identification of the suspect and traced the tag number from the vehicle he was driving, which eventually led to a warrant and arrest.
Crouch said the exceptional video from the car wash was instrumental in helping police identify the suspect and solve this case.
While they haven't been out much since this incident, the man's wife said it's best to always be aware of one's surroundings.
"You always think it won't happen to you…it can happen to anybody," she added.
Stallin remains jailed in the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center. His next court date hasn't yet been scheduled.

Football League Bloggers
Shaun Derry, Kevin Davies and Guy Branston kick-off their blog
Shaun Derry, Kevin Davies and Guy Branston kick-off their brand new Football League blog.
Last Updated: 25/09/13 12:27pm
As well as a weekly blog from Crystal Palace striker Kevin Phillips, we will also be speaking to three seasoned campaigners in the Football League.
On-loan Millwall midfielder Shaun Derry, Preston frontman Kevin Davies and Plymouth defender Guy Branston - who all appear on Sky Sports News Radio's Football League Hour - will be chatting to us about all manner of footballing issues.
In the first article of the campaign, Derry looks forward to a trip to Hillsborough and Davies explains why he signed for North End, while Branston discusses his return from injury and some of the characters in the Argyle camp...
Even though we lost 1-0 to Huddersfield and it wasn't the best home debut for me in that respect, the fans' reaction to me was really warming, but I knew I wanted to come to Millwall as soon as Steve Lomas made the phone call and showed his interest. It is a good club for me location-wise, the manager shares the same sort of characteristics as what I do, and I really wanted to be a Millwall player.
The start has not been what anyone at the football club expected and losing three out of three in the league is hard to swallow, but even though I can only gauge the mood since I've been here, there is no negativity around the club.
We lost convincingly at Ipswich and made schoolboy errors for the three goals but anyone who saw the Huddersfield game will say we were unlucky not to get anything from it with the chances we created.
Steve has got us working hard to rectify the problems but we know we have quality, not just in the six or seven new guys but also in the players that were already at the club, and guys like Alan Dunne and David Forde, who are Millwall through and through, show you the way of the club.
We are looking forward to Saturday's game against Sheffield Wednesday and being an ex-Sheffield United man it will be a big game for me, even though my time at United didn't coincide with a Sheffield derby.
Going to Hillsborough is always tough but I hold fond memories of going there with Crystal Palace a few years back when we needed to get a result to stay in the Championship and did just that. The atmosphere on that day was really special and I can't wait to play there again on Saturday.
I had a lot to weigh up in the summer after leaving Bolton and the big question for me was what level I wanted to play at as you always want to play at the highest level you can, but when you get to the stage of your career that I am at you take other things into consideration as well.
Preston offered me a two-year deal and the opportunity for me and my family to stay where we are, but having met up with the club I was really impressed with what the manager and owner had say.
They wanted me to come and help them get promotion - which was what I wanted to hear as I didn't want to be in mid-table and have an average season - and with a manager in Simon Grayson who knows how to get out of this league and the squad we've got, we feel we can be amongst it all.
The England call-up was the highlight of my career, but if we got promoted this year and played in the Championship next season it would be a fantastic feeling, as I have only experienced one promotion before, when I went up to League One with Chesterfield through the play-offs.
We have Coventry at the weekend and it must be tough for their fans and players with the points deduction and playing in Northampton; the troubles seem to have been brewing for a long time, but they are doing well on the pitch and have banged in nine goals in their last two games.
It will be a tough game for us but we are looking forward to it and hopefully getting that first win under our belts.
I played my first game of the season on Saturday after a calf injury and it went really well with us getting our first win against Cheltenham. I was a bit surprised at my levels of recovery after being out for a while, but I still feel that I have a good few years left even though I am in my mid-30s.
There is competition for places all around the pitch so the centre-half link-up between me and Neal Trotman, who I was with at Oldham, might be short-lived, but we did well on Saturday; we couldn't do a lot about the goal we conceded and we are looking to keep clean sheets for the team.
I can only go on what the gaffer, John Sheridan, is saying and he is talking about pushing for promotion and driving forward this year, rather than looking behind us.
Sometimes when you get stuck in a rut you think: 'Here we go again', but the gaffer wants to stop the aura that has been around the club for a few years and start his own aura.
He wants a confident, up-front attitude with exciting football and players who want to win things, as that's what fans want to pay their money and come and see.
There is a lot of good banter at the club; Paul Wotton is quiet but deadpan when he says his things, and we also have Romuald Boco, or Boco Rocco, as we call him.
He is a Beninese international who has been around the block at Burton, Accrington and abroad - and speaks better English than I do! We have a bizarre group of lads but an intriguing one.
Don't forget to tune in to tune in to the Football League Hour every Thursday night at 7pm on Sky Sports News Radio or download the podcast here

Okay, so I asked the question a while ago asking, if you are 8i Certified, does this automatically make you Certified in Oracle8, i.e. would you have to sit the 8 Upgrade (downgrade) exam to identify Oracle 8 features over 8i features...hmmm, you know what I mean. Many people said yes. I don't entirely agree, because the features between each release vary quite radically, but I'll let that slide, that's not what I want to ask.
What I'd like to know is...., therefore, if you ARE Oracle8i certified, does this entitle somebody can say they are Oracle8 certified also?
Joe Blogs
OCP 8i, 8, 7
If they are only 8i Certified?
I light of people previous post to my other question, I'd be interested to see what you thought in regard to this?
Personally, I think it's a bit of a cheat. Becasue if you are Certified in 8i and administers databases of this release. Would you call yourself an expert in Oracle 7? Hmmmm?

Copy of letter from Francis McLean to Henry Clinton, 1779Item 7477 info
Maine Historical Society
Brig. Gen. Francis McLean, then in Halifax, Nova Scotia, wrote back to Clinton, telling him that 500 men were ready to leave for Penobscot Bay and begin building a fort.
He commented that the British might need more naval power than the Albany, commanded by Capt. Henry Mowat.
McLean's troops arrived June 12 and soon occupied Majabigwaduce (now Castine), between the mouth of the Bagaduce River and a finger of the bay leading to the Penobscot River.
On the rise above the town the British forces built a small network of fortifications and redoubts known as Fort George, in honor of the King.
From there, McLean was to intercept privateer raiders headed for Nova Scotia harbors, and possibly establish a new Loyalist colony called New Ireland in eastern Maine.

GETTING companies and superannuation funds to reveal their performance on key environmental metrics such as fossil fuel reserves or carbon dioxide emissions can be an uphill battle.
The Asset Owners Disclosure Project last month released what it claimed to be the first global investment index showing how investors were managing climate change risks. The index relied heavily on public information for the 300-plus investors assessed, with just 17 investors responding directly.
Enter Bloomberg, the global financial news and data giant owned by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The company is stepping up the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) information it provides to more than 315,000 subscribers around the world.
Mr Bloomberg's calls for greater US urgency to tackle climate change in the wake of hurricane Sandy's destruction in October were hardly his first foray into this field. The 10th-richest American (and world's 20th, according to Forbes) donated $US50 million in 2011 to help force the closure of a third of US coal-fired power plants by 2020.
As a company, Bloomberg has assembled ESG data on more than a quarter of the 20,000 companies that comprise the "general investable universe", said Curtis Ravenel, global head of the company's sustainability group. About half of the ASX100 top companies made the list, he said.
"Given our position in the market, we can probably accelerate disclosure more than most," Mr Ravenel said in a recent interview.
While the drive is "a bit mission-oriented", Mr Ravenel said investment interest was also growing: "There are investors, hedge funds and the like who really think that when you integrate ESG information, there's alpha opportunity.
"Some people think it's a good tool for managing a company's risk. Some think it's a proxy for good management overall."
Local Government Super is one Australian fund to back the greater use of ESG measures. Its own investment stance earned it one of just two "triple A" ratings granted globally by the Asset Owners Disclosure Project.
"Certainly the sustainable overlay has added to our performance," said Peter Lambert, chief executive of the fund. To the end of November, its Sustainable Australian Shares fund had returned about 11 per cent since inception last February, Mr Lambert said. That compared with 8.7 per cent for the benchmark ASX200 over the same period.

Video game research firm EEDAR has called Mass Effect 3 the "most promising retail title" of E3. But, how did BioWare's space epic beat out other games on the list, like Battlefield 3, Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3?
Jesse Divnich, Vice President of Capital Research at EEDAR explained the metric they used to rank games at E3 as "objectively quantifiable." Apparently, that means using a combined score of page views on IGN and the amount of media views on GameTrailers. "The list was created after analyzing over 78 million recorded Page Views (IGN) and over 45 million Media Views (GT) for the top 500 titles showcased at E3 2011," EEDAR elaborates. It's unclear if the scale accounts for the fact that some games simply have more articles and videos associated with them, or if pre-E3 "Judge's Week" coverage factors into a game's overall score.
Regardless, Mass Effect 3 performed incredibly well on every scale, being the most-read game on IGN and having the third-most media views on GameTrailers. However, the most popular trailer was still for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which ranks 4th overall on EEDAR's list:
1. Mass Effect 3
2. Battlefield 3
3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
5. Assassin's Creed Revelations
6. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
7. Batman: Arkham City
8. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
9. Halo 4
10. Infamous 2
Infamous 2 and Duke Nukem Forever scored relatively high on the charts, at 10th and 11th place respectively. Likely, people were reading previews and reviews for these high-profile games, which released during and near E3.
Interestingly, no games for newly-announced platforms (Wii U, Vita) made the top 20. Super Mario 3DS is the only handheld game to reach the top 20, at the 17th position. The EEDAR report also notes that Xbox 360 had "the highest awareness and purchase intent for its first and third party titles."

Every bite of this wholesome bread is jam-packed with flavor that begins and ends with bananas! The zucchini fades into the background and banana takes front and center stage. Together they add incredible moistness and replace the fat that is usually found in recipes like this – no butter or oil is required!
Made with whole wheat flour, brown sugar and honey, it has a dark color and rich flavor. The hearty texture comes from the abundance of chewy raisins and crunchy walnuts speckled generously throughout the bread.
Thanks to this bread for furthering my love for the pretty green vegetable that so many loathe. Just a year or so ago I was a part of the very same crowd. I'm so over it. For the first time I'm growing zucchini in my garden and completely ecstatic over the fact!
If you're a hater I just might make a lover out of you by the end of the summer! If you're a lover than you're in the right place. Because this, my friends, is just the beginning of a very public love affair.
Hearty banana and zucchini bread packed with walnuts and raisins.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a standard sized loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl beat eggs, banana, honey, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl whisk the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then stir in the zucchini, raisins and walnuts.
- Pour batter into pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from center. Cool pan on wire rack for 20 minutes then turn out from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

SW boys fall
A Sweetwater boys basketball team that has struggled to find a spark in recent weeks was simply no match for San Angelo Lake View here Tuesday. The Chiefs launched two dominating runs — one in each half — en route to an 84-32 victory. The first run turned an 8-7 Lake View edge into a 28-7 advantage midway through the second quarter, and the Chiefs' lead stayed between 19 and 34 points until a basket by Sweetwater's Dylon Adames made it 58-30 with 6:09 to play. Then it got real ugly, as Lake View scored 26 of the final 28 points.Senior post Paxton Kelley scored 17 points to pace the short-handed Mustangs (6-14), who started the season 4-1 but have over the past several weeks lost four of their original 11 players for either eligibility reasons or injury. And now Sweetwater has to prepare for the toughest part of its schedule as it begins District 5-3A play Friday, when the team travels to face Wylie. Other than Kelley's game-high total, no Mustang came close to reaching double figures. Junior guard Taylor Jones had five points, while Adames and Kevin Sepeda had four points and Tino Martinez two. Eight Chiefs scored at least eight points.

THE Tasmanian Fire Service is prepared for the worst on the West Coast today.
A "strike team'' of five tankers will arrive at Strahan today, a day of very high to severe fire risk.
Tasmania Fire Service chief officer Mike Brown described today's conditions as the worst since the 2006-07 season when large fires broke out in the North-East, Hobart's Eastern Shore, Mount Nelson and Epping Forest.
A total fire ban has been declared for the entire state.
"We have additional strike team crews, heavy machinery and aircraft at the ready to respond, but under the extreme conditions firefighting will be very difficult,'' Mr Brown said.
Fires at Richmond and Primrose Sands, in the South, were major concerns for the fire service yesterday.
Mr Brown said people living in areas of extreme fire danger who were not confident with their fire preparation or their ability to stay and protect their property should consider relocating for the day.
"For people who do elect to stay at home and stay with their property, they must ensure that they have a bushfire survival plan and that they review that plan,'' he said.
He also urged people to remain vigilant and continue to monitor the fire situation either by listening to ABC local radio or monitoring the Tasmania Fire Service website, www.fire.tas.gov.au.
"The most important thing is if they do decide to leave, leave early because leaving late is very dangerous.''
Tasmania Fire Service North-West acting district officer Shane Batt said all the information the TFS was getting from the Bureau of Meteorology was that there was going to be high temperatures down the West Coast and high winds, and the fire danger rating was high.
"When we do our fire danger ratings, it is based on the soil dryness, fuel loads, temperatures, relative humidity - they are all scientific figures that we work with,'' he said.
"We identify areas that we think are most vulnerable. The temperatures aren't as high along the top end of the state - it's all down the West Coast and certainly Hobart is getting towards the extreme and catastrophic temperatures for fire ratings, and down the East Coast.'' In addition, the fire service has set up incident management teams in the North-West, North and South.
"We've got a pre-assembled incident management team working at Three Mile Line (Burnie) and we've also got what we call a regional fire operations team,'' Mr Batt said.
