COLOMBO, Dec 9 (Reuters) - The Sri Lankan rupee traded steady on Friday as exporter dollar sales offset demand for the greenback from state banks, dealers said.
Rupee forwards were active, while spot-next forwards were trading at 148.90/95 per dollar, unchanged from Thursday's close.
"The (dollar) selling is there, exporter selling is there, but the rupee is not appreciating as state banks are buying," said a currency dealer, requesting anonymity.
On Tuesday, the central bank raised the spot reference rate by 20 cents to 147.50 per dollar, dealers added.
The spot rupee was hardly traded, but was quoted at 148.20/50.
Pressure on the rupee is expected to ease when seasonal inward remittances begin and importer dollar demand weakens ahead of the year-end festival season, but demand from the state banks is holding the rupee steady, dealers said.
However, a few dealers expect the rupee to be under pressure on fears that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's economic policies will lead to a stronger greenback and trigger foreign fund outflows.
Foreign investors have net sold 42.1 billion rupees worth of government securities in the seven weeks ended Nov. 30, ahead of an expected Fed rate hike in December.
Sri Lankan shares were down 0.08 percent at 6,332.84 as of 0648 GMT. Turnover stood at 280.7 million rupees ($1.89 million). ($1 = 148.2000 Sri Lankan rupees) (Reporting by Ranga Sirilal; Editing by Sunil Nair)

Why I'm switching to Romney this election by Bryna Franklin (Jerusalem Post)
Lifelong Democrat Bryna Franklin, who has never voted for a Republican for president, explains why she's voting for Mitt Romney
I am a former chairperson of Democrats Abroad Israel, and was an official delegate to the 1992 National Democratic Convention. In all of my 80 years, I have never before voted for a Republican for president. But this time around, I am not only proudly voting for Mitt Romney, but feel compelled to encourage others to do the same.
I grew up in a Reform Jewish family in Missouri, and came of age politically as a proud Democrat due to the inspiration of my native-son president, Harry Truman. I have been involved in Democratic Party politics for many years in both America and Israel, including serving as vice chairperson of the Franklin County Democratic Central Committee in Missouri.
It is precisely because of my belief in the longtime ideals of the Democratic Party that I feel the responsibility to speak out now.
Why? First, because we ask in each presidential cycle, "Are we better off now than we were four years ago?" This year, the answer is a resounding "NO!" But even more troubling, in so many ways, President Barack Obama has betrayed the ideals of the great Democratic Party. He is a poor successor to Truman's legacy.
No Democratic president has ever been so fiscally irresponsible. President Clinton worked together with Congress to balance the budget and erase the deficit; President Obama has run trillion-dollar deficits every year, and we are now $6 trillion deeper in debt than when he was elected. Over 40 cents of every dollar we now spend is borrowed from China.
Future generations are being saddled with this burden.
Past Democratic administrations have records of high economic growth and high employment. Yet, under Obama, millions more Americans are without jobs than before he took office, and half of recent college graduates are unable to find work. Far too many of the jobs that Obama claims to have created or saved are in the public sector, and small businesses, the backbone of our economy, are hurting. Property values have not rebounded, and home foreclosures continue at a frightening pace.
On the international level, President Obama has proven himself to be a weak leader. Where has any of his diplomacy succeeded? Presidents Truman and Kennedy stood strong against the tyrannies of their time; President Obama bows down to the king of Saudi Arabia, and does not stand up to the president of Iran.
DEMOCRATS BELIEVE in furthering human rights and promoting liberty around the world. But Obama completely misreads the international scene. He called Syria's Assad a "reformer," yet has remained silent as Assad slaughters his own people. He abandoned president Hosni Mubarak to the Egyptian mobs. In addition, he allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to take control, not only threatening Israel but also terrorizing Egypt's minorities.
Nowhere has President Obama failed to live up to Democratic ideals more than in his relationship with democratic Israel. From his creation of "daylight" between our countries to constant public criticism of Israeli policy – does Obama do this to any other country? – Obama has allowed severe deterioration of our special relationship just as Israel and the world face extreme danger.
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S open hostility to Israel's prime minister, and his insulting true feelings caught on an open microphone, indicate antipathy towards the citizens of Israel. Obama's administration does not even maintain symbolic gestures: at the recent opening of the United Nations Assembly, the United States sat and listened to the address by the president of Iran, yet Ambassador Rice was absent during the entire presentation by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. This wasn't lost on the leaders of Israel's enemies.
Coming from Missouri, I take immense pride that President Truman had the courage, conviction and moral compass to recognize the nascent state of Israel. By comparison, President Obama has steered our relationship to an abysmal low.
In reviewing the above, I see no choice but to switch sides and cast my vote for the Republican candidate for President Mitt Romney, who better embodies our Democratic ideals. I ask you to join me.

Des Moines Register endorses Romney, 1st Republican endorsed in 40 years
Ten months ago this newspaper endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination for president. An overarching consideration was which of the party's candidates could we see occupying the White House, and there was no question that Romney was qualified for the job.
Now, in the closing days of the general election campaign, the question is which of the two contenders deserves to be the next president of the United States.
Both President Barack Obama and Governor Romney are superbly qualified. Both are graduates of the Harvard University Law School who have distinguished themselves in government, in public service and in private life. Both are devoted husbands and fathers.
American voters are deeply divided about this race. The Register's editorial board, as it should, had a vigorous debate over this endorsement. Our discussion repeatedly circled back to the nation's single most important challenge: pulling the economy out of the doldrums, getting more Americans back in the workforce in meaningful jobs with promising futures, and getting the federal government on a track to balance the budget in a bipartisan manner that the country demands.
Which candidate could forge the compromises in Congress to achieve these goals? When the question is framed in those terms, Mitt Romney emerges the stronger candidate.
The former governor and business executive has a strong record of achievement in both the private and the public sectors. He was an accomplished governor in a liberal state. He founded and ran a successful business that turned around failing companies. He successfully managed the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Romney has made rebuilding the economy his No. 1 campaign priority — and rightly so.
The nation has struggled to recover from recession for the past 40 months. Still, the economy is growing at an unacceptably anemic rate of around 2 percent a year and could slip back into recession depending on what happens in the European Union and China.
The workforce is still 4.5 million jobs short of the nearly 9 million that were lost in the recession. Longer term, looming deficits driven by Social Security and Medicare pose the single greatest threats to the nation's economic security.
The president's best efforts to resuscitate the stumbling economy have fallen short. Nothing indicates it would change with a second term in the White House.
The president's prescription upon entering office was a dose of government stimulus, which was the right call because it put cash in the pockets of consumers, made investments in vital infrastructure and kept millions of teachers and police officers on the job.
That stimulus was necessary to bridge the nation from recession to recovery, but the time is past for more government stimulus.
Consumers must feel more confident about their own economic futures to begin spending on the products and services that power the economy. A renewed sense of confidence will spark renewed investment by American companies. Industry will return to full production and hiring will begin again.
That should come with Mitt Romney in the White House.
There is not a lot of difference between the two candidates' short-term economic plans, as both are heavy on a promise of tax cuts for the middle class but short on details. Romney's plan, however, goes beyond helping the middle class with tax breaks.
Throughout the campaign, he has expressed faith in the private sector to fuel a more robust economic recovery if it has more confidence that the federal government will not be an obstacle. Romney has a strategy for job growth through tax and regulatory relief for small businesses, encouraging all forms of domestic energy production, education that prepares graduates with job skills, expanding foreign trade and reducing the burden of federal deficits.
That formula, coupled with his business acumen, should unlock this nation's economic potential.
One of the biggest obstacles either candidate faces is partisan gridlock in Congress. It appears unlikely either party will have enough votes to have its own way without bringing over members from across the aisle.
Early in his administration, President Obama reached out to Republicans but was rebuffed. Since then, he has abandoned the effort, and the partisan divide has hardened. That has hampered not only the economy, but the entire country. We remain a nation of red states and blue states.
Romney succeeded as governor in Massachusetts where he faced Democratic majorities in the legislature. If elected, he would have an opportunity to renew the effort. He would begin with an advantage in the House, where a Republican majority is likely to remain after the election. The challenge will be in the Senate, where it takes a super-majority to pass anything of substance.
Romney could be assured that Democrats would work to defeat him as hard as Republicans worked against Obama is if he were to adopt the reactionary agenda of the most extreme elements of the Republican Party. Romney had to tack to the right during the primary season. Since then, he has recalibrated his campaign to focus on his concern for the middle class, and that is believable if the real Mitt Romney is the one on display as governor of Massachusetts who passed a health care reform plan that became the model for the one passed by Congress.
Romney should not squander an opportunity to build consensus in Washington by wasting time on issues that animate many in his party. We cannot rewind the clock on progress for minorities, women, gays and lesbians. We must make it easier for immigrants to come here to live and work legally and stop making criminals of those who are living here lawfully, paying taxes and raising families. The federal government must continue to insist on clean air and water and encourage clean and renewable energy.
Barack Obama rocketed to the presidency from relative obscurity with a theme of hope and change. A different reality has marked his presidency. His record on the economy the past four years does not suggest he would lead in the direction the nation must go in the next four years.
Voters should give Mitt Romney a chance to correct the nation's fiscal course and to implode the partisan gridlock that has shackled Washington and the rest of America — with the understanding that he would face the same assessment in four years if he does not succeed.
Here are the presidential candidates The Des Moines Register endorsed in each election in the past 100 years:
• 1912: William H. Taft (R) – lost
• 1916: Charles Hughes (R) – lost
• 1920: No endorsement

Why I'm voting for Romney – Michael Goodwin, New York Post
Why I'm voting for Romney – NYPOST.com
New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin, a Democrat who voted for Barack Obama in 2008, explains why he's voting for Mitt Romney in 2012
Each time I mention that I voted for Barack Obama in 2008, I get a blast from some who didn't. "How could you be so dumb?" is a typical response to my confession.
It is certainly a confession — of error. Obama fooled me once, but not twice. I'm voting for Mitt Romney Nov. 6th.
To understand why I'm switching, it helps to understand why I backed Obama four years ago. I am a Democrat, but vote as an independent. I see people, not parties, so Obama's label played no role.
My choice involved a simple calculation. Would John McCain or Obama be more likely to forge a consensus on big issues? America was dangerously polarized, and unable to act in ways that even 60 percent of the public could support. History shows that paralysis leads to disaster.
The war on terror was falling out of favor, despite the continuing threat. Good ideas were getting thrown out with the bad and Republicans had squandered the chance to govern.
When the financial crisis hit, McCain stumbled. He wanted to postpone a debate and rushed back to Washington — but had nothing to say or do. Obama kept silent and followed the lead of congressional Democrats. While not exactly great statesmanship, he at least looked steady.
McCain, a genuine American hero, often revealed his maverick streak, his choice of Sarah Palin being Exhibit A. Despite doubts about her readiness, I found myself defending her against the vicious attacks from the left, especially by women.
McCain was my real problem. Mavericks make good whistleblowers and lousy CEOs. Upsetting the apple cart is not a qualification for the Oval Office.
Obama's soaring rhetoric enticed me at first, and I agreed that a restoration of the Clinton presidency would be a bad idea. Still, I got a jolt of Messiah Alert when he said his rise marked the moment "when the planet began to heal."
Where he totally fooled me was his claim to be a pragmatist, not an ideologue. He spoke of uniting the country and I believed he was capable and sincere. That he won 70 million votes and more than two-thirds of the Electoral College spoke to his appeal.
He failed as president because he is incompetent, dishonest and not interested in the actual work of governing. His statist policies helped consign millions of Americans to a lower standard of living and his odious class warfare further divided the nation. He had no intention of uniting the country — it was his Big Lie.
I don't hate him. But I sure as hell don't trust him.
As for the desperate charge that opposition to Obama makes me a racist, let me note that he was black when I voted for him.
Which brings us to Romney. A year ago, I thought he might be acceptable, maybe the only one in the GOP field. Now I see him as much more than acceptable.
During the long slog, Romney revealed qualities that could make him a very good president. There is not a hint of scandal in his life or career, and his economic policies could spark real growth in jobs, not in food stamps.
He keenly recognizes the danger of the growing debt. With Paul Ryan, he chose a youthful, smart No. 2 who possesses deep knowledge of the budget mess and yet an optimistic view of America's future.
On the foreign stage, Romney is a novice, but his instincts about American power are right and his remarks in the last debate about Obama's apology tour were a defining difference. It is impossible to imagine Romney going abroad to criticize his country, or lying about the murder of an ambassador. The challenger is right when he says Obama has made the nation less safe.
Romney is no "movement conservative," but is moderate and prudent in the everyday ways of most Americans. As he proved in Massachusetts, he can work with Democrats to get things done.
As for being a Mormon, to hold that against Romney is pure bigotry. His election would knock down one more barrier to equality of opportunity.
Finally, there is temperament. Romney's firm, steady demeanor during Obama's rancid attempts at character assassination demonstrates the presidential character lacking in the incumbent. That's the change I want for my country.

Obama's bid to school Romney on the military backfires big-time
By ANDREW MALCOLM
Posted 10/24/2012 09:04 AM ET
Barack Obama's reelection campaign is in trouble. It's silently slowing down in North Carolina and now, even Florida. Even raising hundreds of millions in a record number of fundraisers, his campaign has had to borrow from a bank. Obama can't admit it all though.
And he desperately needs to motivate his vaunted ground troops in these last 13 days.
So, in Monday's debate the Democrat wasn't trying to stem the hemorrhaging of independents and women from his side. He was trying to serve some red meat to rally party loyalists after his disappointing debate performances. Hence, his sarcastic praise for Gov. Mitt Romney agreeing that al Qaeda is a threat.
And hence this less-than-presidential response to Romney's concern over the Democrat's planned massive cuts in the nation's defense spending:
"But I think Governor Romney maybe hasn't spent enough time looking at how our military works.
"You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military has changed.
"We have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship where we're counting ships; it's what are our capabilities."
This from the half-black man who suckered so many millions of countrymen into believing he was sincerely interested in uniting Americans of all kinds and colors for a new day. That seems so much farther away than merely 1,373 days ago.
But re-reading Obama's attempted debate mocking, there is some sweet justice watching a man show off how much he knows but actually reveal instead, not only a pettiness, but how little he actually knows. Like his speech last year when he hailed a heroic Navy corpsman as a "corpseman."
Obama claimed to a group of youths back in the 2007-08 cycle that he once considered a career in the military. Pols say such things to connect with voter groups. But, of course, what Obama was also saying to them standing there in civvies is that he clearly rejected the idea of doing the kind of patriotic volunteer work troops choose.
And let's be honest, even in the early post-draft years of the 1970's-80's, the U.S. military would have been less than eager to recruit a woozy Choom Gang member like Obama.
Where to start? First, Gov. Romney didn't say 1916; he said 1917, the year the U.S. entered World War I. Second, Obama was trying to portray the governor as ignorant about the military. There are, in fact, fewer Army horses now. But such animals do still play a critical tactical role for our Special Forces in Afghanistan.
Bayonets, Mr. President, are the knife-like weapons attached to the business end of rifles for close-in fighting. They were invented as baionettes in the original Bayonne, not the one in New Jersey.
Contrary to the president's implied description of them as outmoded, bayonets remain an integral weapon for soldiers, especially Marines, for whom the deadly blades are standard issue. A president who didn't skip so many security briefings might know that.
The Army said Tuesday it currently stocks more than 415,000 bayonets and the Marines possess 195,000 more with plans to buy an additional 175,000. You'd think a commander-in-chief who once considered a military career might be aware of such things.
There's a reason why Obama ducked addressing Romney's disturbing assertion that the U.S. Navy today has fewer ships than 95 years ago: Romney is dead right.
In 1917, the U.S. Navy had 345 ships. At the end of last year, the third of Obama's administration, the U.S. Navy had 285 ships.
Romney's point was that the estimated trillion dollars in pending defense cuts, including those mandated under so-called sequestration, would devastate the fleet even more. Not an unreasonable concern when, apparently, we had insufficient resources to even protect our ambassador in Libya.
Obama stated flatly for the national television audience that sequestration would not happen as scheduled on Jan. 2. Within minutes, however, Obama political aide David Plouffe was scurrying around the Florida debate site telling reporters that what the Chicagoan really meant was sequestration "should not" happen.
Obama also told the debate audience that the idea of debilitating mandated defense budget cuts was Congress' idea. However, Bob Woodward documented in his recent book, "The Price of Politics," that the toxic sequestration idea was actually delivered to Congress by Obama chief of staff Jack Lew in a meeting with Democrat Majority Leader, Sen. Harry Reid.
Let's see what else did Obama try to school Romney on? Oh, right, aircraft carriers, those really big ships where airplanes can land. Maybe Obama hasn't studied enough how the military works, but those gigantic capital ships with more than 5,000 crew members do not just cruise around on their own like tramp freighters.
For every aircraft carrier there are at least 10 other sentry and support ships in the strike group. Eleven nuclear carriers (soon to be 10) with a minimum 10 ships each. That's nearly half the entire U.S. fleet under Obama right there.
President Obama saved the best for last. So we did too. Perhaps he doesn't know enough about the military because his "ships that go underwater" are really called sunk, not nuclear submarines. Nuclear submarines in Navy parlance are "boats," as even a supercillious commander-in-chief might know. (Also, btw, those little windows on ships are called portholes.)
Makes you wonder how such abundant Oval Office ignorance of the U.S. military is going down in crucial battleground states like Virginia, North Carolina and Florida, all with major military installations, often called bases.

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is the standard diagnostic test for evaluating possible malignancy in a thyroid nodule.
To evaluate the role of routine ultrasonography in the management of nodular thyroid disease.
Retrospective chart review.
Multidisciplinary thyroid nodule clinic (endocrinology and radiology).
Patients with suspected nodular thyroid disease or suspected recurrent thyroid cancer referred between October 1995 and March 1997. All patients had thyroid ultrasonography and ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy of nodules at least 1 cm in maximum diameter.
Medical records, ultrasonography findings, cytology reports, and histologic reports were reviewed. Ultrasonography findings were compared with the referring physician's findings on physical examination.
223 patients were seen in the clinic. A total of 209 fine-needle aspiration biopsies were performed on 156 patients. Among 50 of 114 patients referred for a solitary nodule, ultrasonography detected additional nonpalpable nodules at least 1 cm in diameter in 27 and determined that no nodules required aspiration in 23. Of 59 patients referred for a diffuse goiter or a multinodular gland, ultrasonography detected discrete nodules at least 1 cm in diameter that required aspiration in 39 and determined that aspiration was unnecessary in 20.
Ultrasonography altered the clinical management for 63% of the patients (109 of 173) referred to the thyroid nodule clinic after abnormal results on thyroid physical examination.

text: For us at Brainware University student safety and welfare is our primary concern. It is our creed to provide the students with the means that would allow them to flourish in all the aspects of their lives; academic, physical and mental. We have all heard the old adage that a healthy body is the temple of healthy mind. Keeping true to this ideal, Brainware University has organized for a doctor to visit its Barasat campus on Saturday every week, whom the students can approach free of cost to get their ailments treated. We pride on being considered as a second home by the students, and we endeavor to give them all the possible amenities that would allow them to live freely and healthily away from home; simultaneously providing the guardians with some much needed peace of mind about the wellbeing of their ward.

This year Endurance GB is once again offering a Team Endurance Event to affiliated Riding Clubs on a national scale. The competition is still growing rapidly as more and more teams take part.
Riding Clubs are invited to form endurance teams of three to six riders. A Riding Club can have as many teams as they have interested horse and rider combinations. Each Riding Club can then enter their teams into any number of qualifying rides of 30 to 40km (about 25 miles). The qualifying rides can be chosen from over seventy EGB events throughout the country.
Potential riders do not need any special equipment, particular breed or type of horse to get started. Only the rider, their horse and normal riding tack is required. Riders do not have to be members of Endurance GB in order to compete, but they must be current members of their affiliated Riding Club. The Riding Clubs must declare each horse and rider combination with the national organisers before they enter any qualifying ride.
A team who completes a qualifying ride successfully will have its team score entered into a League Table for the Region in which the Club is based. A squad can then, if it chooses, enter a second or subsequent qualifying ride. The team score achieved at the second or subsequent qualifier will replace the existing score in the League Table if it is higher than the existing score. The team scores are calculated from the speed achieved over the course and the horse's pulse at the final veterinary inspection.
The rules of the competition and full details of the Team Endurance Event can be found on our dedicated website: BRC Team event

Letter to the Editor:
I've spent about 40 years as a registered Democrat. My leanings are still to the center/left. But I wanted to be able to vote for the person, not just by party affiliation, so I changed my status to unenrolled several years ago.
As a Brewster resident for more than 30 years, I have come to appreciate our State Delegation. My State Representative is Tim Whelan of Brewster. Like Tim, I, too. worked in policing for decades.
Some have criticized Rep. Whelan for only supporting law enforcement in his time as a Legislator. While he has been a staunch supporter of first responders, he has done much more. I have called upon Tim for many other issues such as extra parking at Crosby Beach in Brewster, along with Route 6A repaving and sidewalk improvements. But my requests on behalf of the Community didn't stop there. When the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History called about improving safety for those crossing 6A, Tim came out and met with us on site and that led to changes done by MassDOT. He did the same thing when Latham Schools called about a passing zone in a crosswalk to their property.
But what really makes Tim Whelan so special, rising above others, is his ability in bi-partisan ways to coordinate with Rep Sarah Peake and Sen. Julian Cyr and get things done for the Town and the District. Brewster is fortunate to have such great representation on Beacon Hill. Please join me in voting for all three in November!
Richard Koch, Brewster

Cillian O'Donnell
- May 24: So far I have made my way through 2014 SOCIS patches and have been working through python exercises to improve my skills. The next step revives the old SOCIS from 2015, which should produce a temporary setup with rtems-test using Couverture-Qemu and generating coverage reports. Currently the SOCIS 2015 patches are applied: Left to do is 8 files with 20 rejects, currently producing build errors in rtems-tools.
Denis Obrezkov
- May 24: initial meeting. I have read documents about HiFive1 board, Freedom E310 Architecture, E31 Coreplex core. For the next week I plan:
- to read User and Priveleged mode ISA
- to build the toolchain
- to check the board and its peripheral
- to build and run in SPICE simulator Hesham's port of RTEMS for RISC-V arcitecture.
Tanu Hari Dixit
- May 24: Initial meeting.
- I have gone through all the macro files in rtems-tools.git/tester/rtems/testing and we have decided to use INI files instead of YAML because we have standard support in Python for parsing INI files. PyYAML would have been a dependency which would have been difficult to handle across different hosts.
- We have finalized on the format for the INI files. Chris already pushed "configuration.py" in rtemstoolkit and this is taken out from check.py. Also the user specific configuration options--we decided we'll have a settings file that would contain user specific details.
- I will come up with a ReST file as in an official documentation for the new macro files in ini format. I'll also start changing the .mc files.
Sichen Zhao
- May 24:Initial meeting.
- I am working on first part of my proposal goal: i2c driver
- So far, i have finished the i2c code, now working on create the patch and send to devel to be review.
- I get along very well with the mentors, mentors give many advices to me during the project process, they are very enthusiastic.
- Next week, i will focus on modify i2c patch, at the same time, i will read the USB code in FreeBSD, prepare for second part of proposal.
Aditya Upadhyay
- May 24:Initial meeting.
- I am have completed the implementation of inttypes library. I have made a separate test within the samples testsuites named psxinttypes01.
- I have to port inttypes.h to newlib, i am working on it.
- I will commit the code of inttypes library in my local github repo.
- Now i am trying to implement maths related library and will make a test for related methods.

For all its chutzpah, The Rocky Horror Show lacks a certain spark, writes Kieran Murphy
The Rocky Horror Show took place in the Grand Canal Theatre, thrusting itself across the Dublin stage just in time for Halloween. The musical is narrated by Christopher Biggins, who we best know from I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, and who had a role in the movie as one of the Transylvanians.
The musical tells the story of Brad and Janet, a newly engaged couple whose car breaks down in the middle of night. They turn to a castle for refuge only to discover a bunch of Transylvanians dancing to the 'Time Warp' and Dr. Frank-N-Furter – a transvestite scientist whose ambition is to build himself the perfect man.
With a host of support characters such as Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia and the newly formed Rocky, and songs such as 'Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me,' it's a two-hour spectacular that's sure to make you blush.
From the beginning to the end of The Rocky Horror Show, obscurity and obscenity permeates the stage. It features David Bordello as Dr. Frank-N-Furter (who has previously worked on Jesus Christ Superstar and West Side Story) and Bordello's experience really shows when he belts out the classic 'Sweet Transvestite'.
Having never seen the movie or musical, I had no idea what to expect, but I soon learned that I was a 'Rocky Horror virgin'. You'd forgive me for thinking the people shouting behind me were just being obnoxious, but I soon later found out that The Rocky Horror Show is all about partici-(SAY IT)-pation. During certain productions, items such as toast (non-buttered), rice and decks of cards are thrown at the stage, while the lovebirds of the show, Brad and Janet, are kindly referred to as 'Asshole' and 'Slut' throughout.
For a 'Rocky Horror virgin', the Grand Canal Theatre was an impressive place for a first time viewing of the show, but I can't help but feel that I would have enjoyed the grand stage production of the show more if I had even seen the film at least once. In regards to the musical itself, it's certainly there to shock and awe people. However, it must be said that the few in the audience who knew all the dances and the responses stole the show from the actors and actresses on stage.

Okay, so I'm gonna take a little detour off of off-season baseball moves (lots of talk, not so much action at the moment) and do a little poll. We've all heard the National Anthem sung hundreds of times at major sporting events, but which times were the best? I have a list here for you to look at, submit your vote in the comments section! Two of these versions got me all kinds of choked up.
First, we have Faith Hill
Then, these little girls (ranging from ages 6-8) singing the national anthem at a Texas Tech game.
Whitney Houston at Superbowl 25
Marvin Gaye at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game
John Williams Conducting the Boston Pops World Series Game 1 2007
Christina Aguilera (at age 11) Sings at Game 2 of the Stanley Cup
Mary J Blige at the 2004 NFL Kick-off
Carrie Underwood 2007 World Series Game 3
The Backstreet Boys Singing the National Anthem at the 2008 World Series Game 1
Finally, the Crowd at a Red Sox game helping a handicapped man sing
Hope you all enjoyed this! I did. Nominees were chosen based on singing ability, arrangement, creativity, and pure heart. Clearly, there are several I have left off (Hendrix, etc) but these are some of my favorites.
Back to the regular baseball blogging next time.

Welcome to
Filton Golf Club
Filton Golf Club is a long established private members' club situated in the north of Bristol, close to the Airbus site. Although predominantly a private members' club, Filton provides very welcoming and an enjoyable experience to guests and visitors alike.
The Club was originally founded in 1909 when a nine-hole course was laid out on land rented from the city council and the lord of the manor. The Club became so popular that it was extended to eighteen holes in 1912 and a clubhouse built. The Club's first professional, E. Crook, was engaged in 1911.
In 1979 the Club was able to purchase the land on which the course sits today. Since that time significant changes have taken place which presents our course in its current layout and fine condition.

It wasn't to long ago that we wrote about Chris Christie being accused of copyright infringement by the New York Times.
Well Deja Vu, literally, Chris Christie is at it once again and this time Chris Christie Rips Off Monty Python, in an ad spot titled… you guessed it Deja Vu.
The Huffington post reports the story and also goes into Christie's ties to the mafia.
UPDATE, 11:12 p.m.:
Having been exposed for their copyright theft and facing a lawsuit from Monty Python, the Christie campaign moved into damage control mode at high speed on Sunday night to try and limit the political fallout from their illicit action. Within an hour of the story appearing, the Christie commercial using pirated footage of a Monty Python skit was scrubbed from the campaign's website and their separate campaign site on YouTube. The only evidence left was the tell-tale wording on the clip's YouTube page "This video has been removed by the user"
Monty Python captured the video before it was removed. The Christie campaign should now be expecting the Spanish Inquisition…
Watch the ad://
Chris Christie, the Republican candidate for Governor of New Jersey in Tuesday's knife-edge gubernatorial election, has been called out as a copyright thief. The 47-year-old lawyer, who was controversially appointed by George W. Bush as a U.S. Attorney in 2001 on Karl Rove's recommendation after being a top Bush fund-raiser in the 2000 election, has created an election commercial that steals copyright-protected material from British comedy troupe Monty Python — without permission or credit.
The official campaign advert — titled "Deja Vu" — attacks incumbent New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine by using scenes from a famous skit on the "Monty Python's Flying Circus" TV show that features Michael Palin. The ad is on Christie's official YouTube campaign site, and has already aired on national TV.
But neither Christie — a lawyer for 22 years — nor anyone in his campaign bothered to seek any permission for using the copyrighted material in his election spot.
Alerted to the theft of their copyright, members of Monty Python are most unhappy. Michael Palin, who appears in the clip pirated for the advert, is especially displeased that his likeness is being used by the Republican candidate without permission.
"I'm surprised that a former U.S. Attorney isn't aware of his copyright infringement when he uses our material without permission. He's clearly made a terrible mistake. It was the endorsement of Sarah Palin he was after — not that of Michael Palin."
Monty Python's Terry Jones says that the troupe is strongly considering suing the Republican for his copyright infringement:
"It is totally outrageous that a former US Attorney knows so little about the law that he thinks he can rip off people. On the other hand — another of Bush's legal appointees was Alberto Gonzales and he didn't seem to know much about the law either…," Jones said.
There is a long history of Republican politicians stealing content by entertainers for their political advertisements and rallies. Three months ago, Jackson Browne won a financial settlement and apology from Senator John McCain for the politician's unauthorized use of his song "Running On Empty" in the 2008 election. Other musicians who have successfully protested the theft of their music by Republicans include Jon Bon Jovi, Don Henley, John Mellencamp and rock bands Foo Fighters and Hear
Christie is no stranger to the world of crime. As the New York Times reported on September 23rd this year, Christie has family ties to the notorious Genovese crime family. As a child, he mingled at family parties with Tino "The Greek" Fiumara — the brother of his aunt's husband — described by the Times as "a fearsome and ranking member of the Genovese crime family: twice convicted of racketeering, sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, and linked by investigators to several grisly murders, including one in which a victim was strangled with piano wire."
(A United States Senate sub-committee investigating organized crime in the early 1980s attributed three murders to Fiumara, including the 1967 slayings of two brothers of one of his co-defendants in the 1980 trial. In 1983, Lt. Col. Justin Dintino of the New Jersey State Police called Fiumara "a callous killer who has resorted to violence with little provocation," and said Fiumara had ordered the murder of the godfather of one of his own children.)
Asked what he had learned from his family connection to Tino "The Greek" Fiumara, Christie says: "It just told me that you make bad decisions in life and you wind up paying a price. Really, for most of my life, he spent his life in prison. That teaches you a lot."
Asked in 2007 about the presence of organized crime in his home state — such as the Genovese mob in which one of his family members is so prominent — Christie said: "the Mafia is much more prominent on HBO than in New Jersey."
With Monty Python about to sue Christie for his copyright theft, he may have more in common to discuss with Tino "The Greek" Fiumara at his family Thanksgiving this year.

Find out how JLL helped Procter & Gamble cut its energy costs by 10%
One of America's biggest companies is saving big bucks thanks to new smart-building technology implemented at its facilities by Jones Lang LaSalle.
According to this article in the Cincinnati Business Courier, Procter & Gamble (No. 28 on this year's Forture 500 list) was able to slash energy costs by 10 percent as part of a pilot program that included its downtown Cincinnati headquarters (pictured above) and other buildings through the use of JLL's computerized IntelliCommand system.
P&G hope Intellicommand will help them double those savings over the next year.

Looking for a perfect Meatless Monday snack? This Spinach Artichoke Dip is vegan but tastes just like the classic cheesy dip. It's simple, easy & delicious
Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip
As most of you know, our family is big on making great food, gathering around & enjoying a good game. Food & sports are something we all enjoy together. We go through several hours of prep on game day & the spread is fabulous. But honestly, it can takes it's toll. So we have been expanding our horizons & creating new recipes that are every bit as good as our classic family favorites but lightened up. Like this Vegan version of Spinach Artichoke Dip. It's creamy & sooooooo good. Just scoop with some of your favorite vegan crackers & you have yourself a delicious snack.
I used Silk Almond milk while creating this recipe. It's so simple- you won't believe it. It's easy as blending the ingredients & then baking for a few minutes. I know- the family was shocked at how quickly this came together. Definitely shortened my time in the kitchen before the game & that's always a plus.
Silk's plant-based beverages and yogurt alternatives are extremely versatile in the kitchen. They can be used to create delicious meat- and dairy-free versions of your go-to tailgating recipes just like I did here. It's lactose-free, dairy-free, cholesterol-free & has no high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. It's also enrolled in & verified by the Non-GMO Project which is very important to me.
Spinach Artichoke Dip {Vegan}
- 3-4 cups loosely packed spinach leaves
- 12 oz car marinated artichoke hearts
- 3/4 cup plain non-dairy milk- Silk Almond Milk
- 3/4 cup raw cashews unsoaked
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Preheat oven to 435 degrees
- Combine almond milk, lemon juice, garlic, salt, ground mustard, black pepper & cashews in blender & blend on high until very smooth. Depending on your blender this could take 1-2 minutes or as many as 5-6.
- Add artichoke hearts & spinach - pulse 2-3 times to coarsely chop into your blended mixture - you want this chunky
- Transfer to a small baking dish - I used a 1/2 quart Corning Ware dish
- Bake 16-20 minutes - making sure to not cook over (it will discolor the spinach)
- Serve warm

gas prices and their causes
control the American oil companies
I just wanted to make an appeal for the Western New York citizens which I feel will help the entire country's economy. In Rochester, gas prices are higher than the national average. Not all of us can afford to purchase an hybrid automobile, and since this is a rural area, we depend a lot on gasoline to get around.
I support Obama's attempts to at least move the source of oil to the United States. However, the oil companies of America, as they have always done in the past, are taking advantage of incentives, yet pushing gas prices higher and higher. I would like to see Congress put some
control over the American oil industry just as they did the banks, to push the prices back down and stop improper practices. Just watch the stock prices in the past four years and you can see that American oil companies are blossoming, off the back of people out of work or on a fixed income.
This is not the final solution - we really need the automotive industry to develop alternate energy sources such as hydrogen cars. But they are loath to do this without their own incentives. Meanwhile, the American citizens - for that matter, citizens all over the world - are limited to gasoline-burning transportation.
The last time there was a gasoline crunch, I learned that gasoline prices were geared to the neighborhood -- the supply companies would charge the individual gas station owners an amount that they thought the neighborhood could bear; gas station owners would charge as little as possible in profit because they knew people were shopping around for the best price.

Walkers are rewarded with the panoramic splendour of the Menai Straits, the Great Orme; even as far as the Isle of Man on a clear day. Wildlife is all around you with the Welsh mountain ponies grazing on the hillsides and soaring high above the buzzard keeps a look out for his lunch.

What other companies are implementing RFID technology?
What is RFID, and is it right for my company? This guide explains the basics of RFID, what SAP doing with RFID in its products, and how you can build a business case for RFID.
Who else has tried implementing RFID technology, and how did it work for them? Implementing RFID can completely overhaul a company's business practices. For prescription drug maker Purdue Pharma, who incorporated RFID into its supply chain in 2003, it took months of experimenting to figure out the best way to place the microchips on its pill bottles. The Stamford, Conn.-based drug manufacturer continues to assess how RFID technology is helping to reduce the number of stolen shipments. Tyson Foods is another company that switched to RFID tracking to meet Wal-Mart's requirements. The food distributor determined that it wouldn't be financially viable to put an RFID tag on every box being shipped out of its centers. Instead, it uses a 'slap and ship' method, which allows companies to meet the minimum requirement.
"It's not difficult to become compliant," Woods said. "The bar for compliance is not that high."
One study says baby steps are best when it comes to deploying RFID:

From the start of her photographic journey in New Orleans, Elmore searched for Mardi Gras Indians, those feathered and beaded icons of the city's African American identity, and perhaps the most mysterious and elemental of all the city's culture bearers. "Let's Go Get 'Em"—the cry of battle in which Indians compete to be the prettiest, and a chant within the ritual enacted whenever they "mask"—denotes the collection of Elmore's photographs that trace what began as pure fascination with Mardi Gras Indians and grew into lasting friendships that inspired her own artistic ideals. – from the publisher

Subscribe To Another New Fighter Added To Killer Instinct Season 3 Updates
I've already subscribed
If you're looking for something to keep you busy through the long weekend, why not dive back into Killer Instinct? Along with a hefty patch, the game now has a new fighter to take control of, Gargos the winged gargoyle.
Over the weekend, Killer Instinct for Xbox One and PC received a hefty update. Patch 3.1.5 delivered all sorts of tweaks to the popular fighting game, as well as squashed a number of bugs that were giving players a hard time.
Alongside that update came Gargos, a massive brawler with glowing green limbs, horns and fangs. Fans of Killer Instinct will recognize this bad boy as the main villain from previous entries in the series. Now he's just a regular ole fighter who you can see in action in his very own highlight trailer.
According to Gargos, who took the time out of his busy schedule to narrate the trailer for us, he's been building up to this arrival in Killer Instinct for centuries. He talks about how he's had an impact on the other characters in the game, corrupting the heroes and manipulating those "hungry for power."
By keeping all of those other folks busy fighting one another, Gargos has chosen now as the perfect moment to return and invade the world of Killer Instinct.
His wings give him a nice little jump boost and, as with any flying character in any fighting game, he has a few dive-bomb attacks. Gargos uses those wings to his advantage, adding in swipes and thrusts to make his combos more devastating. Homeboy also has the ability to call in a couple of minions to fight for him and attack players through portals from across the screen.
If you're playing Killer Instinct, you can add Gargos to your collection starting right now. Just keep in mind that he's not the final Season Three character for players to enjoy. Here's a refresher on what else is coming before this latest season of new fighters and content wraps up.
So now that folks can duke it out with Kim Wu, Rash (of Battletoads fame), Arbiter (from the Halo series), old-school KI character Tusk, Mira and Gargos, that leaves the new Shadow Lords mode to get later this year, a new fighter in June and, in July, another new fighter and a new multiplayer mode. Fill us in with your wish list for those two remaining characters in the comments section below.

Keynote Presentation: Performance Through People Playbook
The Game Plan for Winning with People
Take an Olympic final or the final 16 teams heading towards the National Championships, you'll find their physical and technical preparation is largely comparable. So, what sets the ultimate winner apart? Or, even before then, what differentiated these finalists from those they contested to get there? We're yet to hear anyone attribute success to their equipment or their training program. Most often at the elite level, success is attributed to the 'intangibles'. It's team chemistry, strong leadership, effective communication, high standards of behavior demanded and maintained, and a persistent drive towards a common goal, that sets the best apart.
Focusing on these critical elements is not just for aspiring teams. All of the most successful teams, with the most experienced coaches, continually search for the most effective ways to address the intangibles.
In this workshop, your presenter who has worked with over 700 elite sports teams, will share with you a behind the scenes look at how he works with teams to drive performance. Think of it as the People Playbook, the how-to on performance through people, the fundamentals to get right.
The key learning objectives for session participants are:
- Discover the most effective strategies to build your team.
- Learn what factors differentiate the best teams compared to their competition.
- Develop a strategy to audit your program and identify gains to make.
Your presenter, Bo Hanson, has been working within sport and the business sector for over 15 years, delivering leadership, management and coach development. In addition to his own athletic career, comprising of four Olympics and including three Olympic medals, he has worked for many years with coaches and athletes from over 40 different sports and various countries, to improve coaching strategies and performance.
Where to from here?
If you would like more information on how Bo Hanson could enrich your conference with this presentation, please contact us. Otherwise we have a whole host of other potential Keynote Presentation topics, and can also tailor a presentation specific to your program's needs.
At Athlete Assessments, we're here to provide you with excellence in service and here to help you be your best. If there is anything we can assist you with, please Contact Us.

Tigers Head to Omaha with No. 2 NCAA Bid in West Region
COLUMBIA - The Missouri Tigers learned Sunday they will head to Omaha as the number two seed in the West region of the NCAA basketball tournament. Mizzou failed to secure a number one seed in the tournament. Many fans feared Kansas would take that spot instead, but the Jayhawks also failed to secure a number one seed. North Carolina took the number one spot in the Midwest region.
The Tigers will face the 15 seed Norfolk State Spartans from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). The Spartans won their conference with a 25-9 record this season. Mizzou and Norfolk State will play Friday in Omaha. Should Mizzou defeat the Spartans, the Tigers would face the winner of the Florida-Virgina game.

2019 Opel Zafira Specs Update And Price
2019 Opel Zafira. The new Opel Zafira is by far one of the most famous Opel vehicles not only in Europe, but in the rest of the world as well. Its popularity can only be matched by Astra, and the competition between the two would be tight. Originally, Zafira started off as a compact MVP, or a multi-purpose vehicle. Since 2011, it has been marketed as a large MVP, and it became known as the Zafira Touring. It is also manufactured by other subsidiaries such as Vauxhall and Holden.
The 2019 Opel Zafira is going to be a very interesting vehicle, and we are going to discuss some of the changes made to the previous model. New 2019 Opel Activa mark the transition Zafira from MPV into crossover segment. The idea to change the segment is old since 2013 when Opel noted a large drop in sales MPV units and general craze for crossovers. We can safely say that Opel few delays which can be a problem in terms of behind the competition. Yet the German company first wants to launch a new Meriva crossover and then Opel Ampera-e electric auto as rebadged version Chevy Bolt.
If next year we see a new Meriva generation could have a close picture of new 2019 Opel Zafira or Activa. The reason is because both models exceed the crossover segment, and it is logical to expect that the company is granted a lot of stylistic solutions. It is interesting that the Meriva will not change the name, or we do not know yet so it will be interesting to hear why the Zafira differently. Perhaps the reason lies because the Opel test Zafira as MPV last year. Perhaps the company wants to have a model of this year as the last edition for fans of this segment while the Meriva wants to finish story.
The redesign would mean big changes and possibly larger dimensions especially if think about the 7 seats. For now an option for five more realistic works. Crossover to a greater distance from the earth and larger tires. Design can found inspiration in Peugeot 3008 with modern and aggressive stance expressed through dynamic lines during body. Slightly lower a rendering as it might look like and probably will not be major discrepancies. Perhaps as real changes can come lower openings in the corners and around the thinner grille. The 2019 Opel Zafira platform provides more space in the cabin and allows the option with three rows of seats.
Perhaps in the beginning it was too much or experience with Peugeot's models can be taken immediately at least three rows as an option. A new generation and a new name might imply a serious redesign inside. Quality materials, cleaner center console and announced virtual cockpit will be refreshing for the line. For now it is too early to talk about more equipment since the Opel only confirmed his move to a new segment to a promotion remains a lot of time.
Again, as with any other 2019 Opel Zafira model, you are going to be able to choose from a range of possible engine options. One of them is a 1.4-liter EcoFlex engine with the output of 138 horsepower. Another option is the 1.6-liter inline-4 engine that can output 150 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. Considering the fact that Europe is not as strict as the US with all the fuel economy and gas emission restrictions, we can expect to see a diesel engine as well.
In fact, we would be disappointed if there weren't one. It would probably be the 1.6 CDTI diesel engine. All of the aforementioned engines come with the front-wheel drive as a standard. They are paired with either 6-speed automatic or manual transmission. The only different option would be a 1.8-liter petrol engine, which would come with a 5-speed manual transmission.
There are very little information at the moment. However, we expect to see the new 2019 Opel Zafira arrive in 2018. Furthermore, we expect to see it quite soon. We estimate that the starting price for the new Opel Zafira will be $34.000, up to the $45.000 for the best trim.
