Arsenal and Rangers to face Southampton in Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup
12:00pm Friday 1st June 2012 in Saints News
SAINTS have confirmed they will face Arsenal and Glasgow Rangers in this season's Markus Liebherr Memorial Cup.
The annual pre-season tournament will take place at St Mary's on July 14 - the same date as the Olympic torch relay is due to pass through the stadium.
Arsenal's attendance, as previously exclusively revealed by the Daily Echo, is part of the deal that saw Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain move to the Emirates last summer.
The tournament sees the three teams compete against each other in a series of round-robin 45-minute matches, with ties decided by spot kicks.
Three points are awarded for a win, two for a victory on penalties and one for defeat in a shoot-out.
The first match, between Saints and Rangers, will kick-off at 5.15pm, with the Olympic torch due in the stadium at 6.20pm.
Arsenal v Rangers will follow at 6.45pm, with Saints and Arsenal clashing in the final fixture, at 8pm.

Insider Tips: Backups
Data always seems to get lost at exactly the wrong moment, but the right backup strategy can help you restore those missing files.
Because the causes and requirements surrounding data loss can be so vastly different, a number of different solutions have emerged over the years. All of these solutions have benefits and drawbacks. In this month's Admin Workshhop, I'll describe some common backup tools and techniques. Backup Alternatives Magnetic tape was once the most common backup medium, and tape backups are still popular for networks with large quantities of data. Tapes are fairly cheap despite their high capacity, with speed being the major disadvantage. A tape backup solution in connection with a jukebox is ideal for fully automated backups. This said, tape drives are often too expensive for SOHO environments.

text: The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2004-5 Ready-To-Wear Jenny Packham 16 February 2004 HAVING burst onto the LFW scene in September 2002, putting Jodie Kidd and Jasmine Guinness in flesh-baring gowns from her glittering Chicago collection, Jenny Packham toned it down for the Royal Opera House yesterday. A little. Mara Galeazzi, a principle ballerina with the Royal Ballet, set the mood, opening the show en pointe to the score of Swan Lake (Look 1). The supermodel contingent was as strong as ever, with Erin O'Connor, Jade Parfitt and Yasmin Le Bon all teetering their way through the fake snow. But gone were the lens-grabbing dresses that have been spotted time and again on red carpets throughout the world this year. Instead, we saw a cast of ballet-inspired fluffy puffballs in white, black and postbox red (Look 22, (38), billowing tent gowns in etheral cloud-daubed chiffon (Look 3) and sweetly jutting tutus. Light-as-air nymph dresses with asymmetrical hemlines that dripped with glistening embroidery and the sex appeal for which Packham has become known (Look 6), but this was occasionally overshadowed by an unflattering mix stiff silver leather bustiers, shiny as sugared almonds (Look 10), and theatrical harem pants fashioned out of grey underwear jersey (Look 8). Red carpet regular and loyal Packham fan Nell McAndrew was unfazed, however. "I thought it was magical," she said. "I was sitting behind two little girls who thought they were in a fairytale." So will we being seeing her in a scarlet puffball on the red carpet anytime soon? "I don't think I could carry off a puffball but I loved the blue glittery dress with the shredded hem and I would also love to try the pink sequinned dress," she went on. "Whenever I'm going to a premiere, I nearly always wear one of Jenny's dresses." (February 16 2004, AM)

Grammys spread the love with 6 top nominees
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Grammy Awards celebrated the diversity of music as six different artists tied for lead nominee – Kanye West, Jay-Z, Frank Ocean, Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Mumford & Sons and fun.
Auerbach received five nominations as a member of the Keys and also is up for producer of the year, earning a spot with the others at the top of the list as the Grammy's primetime television special came to his hometown Wednesday night.
"We're speechless," Auerbach said in a statement to The Associated Press from Germany, where he's on tour with drummer Patrick Carney.

Visual impairment and blindness
Key facts
- 285 million people are visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 have low vision.
- About 90% of the world's visually impaired live in developing countries.
- Globally, uncorrected refractive errors are the main cause of visual impairment; cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness in middle- and low-income countries.
- The number of people visually impaired from infectious diseases has greatly reduced in the last 20 years.
- 80% of all visual impairment can be avoided or cured.
There are four levels of visual function, according to the International Classification of Diseases -10 (Update and Revision 2006):
- normal vision
- moderate visual impairment
- severe visual impairment
- blindness.
Moderate visual impairment combined with severe visual impairment are grouped under the term "low vision": low vision taken together with blindness represents all visual impairment.
The causes of visual impairment
Globally the major causes of visual impairment are:
- uncorrected refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism), 43 %
- cataract, 33%
- glaucoma, 2%.
Who is at risk?
Approximately 90% of visually impaired people live in developing countries.
People aged 50 and over
About 65 % of all people who are visually impaired are aged 50 and older, while this age group comprises about 20 % of the world's population. With an increasing elderly population in many countries, more people will be at risk of age-related visual impairment.
Children below age 15
An estimated 19 million children are visually impaired. Of these, 12 million children are visually impaired due to refractive errors, a condition that could be easily diagnosed and corrected. 1.4 million are irreversibly blind for the rest of their lives.
Changes over the last twenty years
Overall, visual impairment worldwide has decreased since the early 1990s. This is despite an aging global elderly population. This decrease is principally the result of a reduction in visual impairment from infectious diseases through concerted public health action.
The global response to prevention of blindness
Globally, 80% of all visual impairment can be prevented or cured. Areas of progress over the last 20 years include:
- governments establishing national programmes to prevent and control visual impairment;
- eye care services increasingly integrated into primary and secondary health care systems, with a focus on the provision of services that are available, affordable and high quality;
- campaigns to raise awareness, including school-based education; and
- stronger international partnerships, with engagement of the private sector and civil society.
Data over the last 20 years shows that there has been significant progress in preventing and curing visual impairment in many countries. Furthermore, there has been a massive reduction in onchocerciasis-related blindness as part of a significant reduction in the disease. This has been achieved through a number of successful international partnerships.
Specific achievements include Ghana and Morocco, both of whom have reported elimination of trachoma (2010 and 2007 respectively). Over the last decade, Brazil has been providing eye care services through the national social security system. Since 2009, China has invested over 100 million dollars in cataract surgeries. Oman has completely integrated eye care service provision in the primary health care framework over the last decade and since 1995 India has made available funds for eye care service provision for the poorest at district level.
WHO response
WHO coordinates the international efforts to reduce visual impairments.
It's role is to:
- develop policies and strategies to prevent blindness;
- to give technical assistance to Member States and partners;
- to monitor and evaluate programmes; and
- to coordinate international partnerships.
In 2009, the World Health Assembly approved the 2009-13 Action Plan for the Prevention of Avoidable Blindness and Visual Impairment , a roadmap for Member States, WHO Secretariat and international partners.
WHO works to strengthen national and country-level efforts to eliminate avoidable blindness, help national health care providers treat eye diseases, expand access to eye health services, and increase rehabilitation for people with residual visual impairment. Building and strengthening health systems is a particular area of focus.
WHO leads an international alliance of governments, private sector and civil society organizations aiming to eliminate blinding trachoma from the world by the year 2020.
For the last ten years WHO has worked with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness in the global initiative "Vision 2020: the Right to Sight".
Since 2004, WHO in partnership with Lions Clubs International has established a global network of 35 childhood blindness centres in 30 countries for the preservation, restoration or rehabilitation of sight in children.
In response to the increasing burden of chronic eye disease WHO is now developing policies and guidelines for diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and refractive errors.
Finally, to support comprehensive eye care systems, WHO provides epidemiologic and public health technical support to its Member States.

[13] And the people of Ammon did give unto the Nephites a large portion of their substance to support their armies; and thus the Nephites were compelled, alone, to withstand against the Lamanites, who were a compound of Laman and Lemuel, and the sons of Ishmael, and all those who had dissented from the Nephites, who were Amalekites and Zoramites, and the descendants of the priests of Noah.
[14] Now those descendants were as numerous, nearly, as were the Nephites; and thus the Nephites were obliged to contend with their brethren, even unto bloodshed.
The Lamanite population is defined thoroughly.
Lamanites who were a:
- compound of Laman and Lemuel
- sons of Ishmael
- all those who dissented from Nephites
all those who dissented from Nephites broken down:

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha XL: SL136XL Senior League? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionI am looking for a big barrel for my son. I am looking at the Omaha SL136XL and the Easton SL13S310B and I can't decide between the two. He is 9 years old and has great contact, but lacks power right now. He is hitting a lot on the ground and I would like to give him some extra pop. Which do you recommend?
The Easton S3 SL13S310B and the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha XL are both going to be very similar bats. They are both one-piece alloy bats and they are both very balanced. You will not see a difference in performance from either bat, so it will come down to personal preference.
Is this bat approved for 12U USSSA?
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha XL: SL136XL Senior League is approved in USSSA.
For a contact hitter, would you recommend this bat, or the Easton S2?
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha XL: SL136XL Senior League and Easton S2 are both balanced bats, which is great for a contact hitter. The two-piece Easton S2 might work out a little though, because the flex in the bat will help you increase your bat speed.
Product Description
New for 2013! The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha has been the go-to bat for millions of players for over a decade. In fact, the Omaha brand is THE best-selling baseball bat over the past ten years. Named after the site of the College World Series, it's only fitting that the TPX Omaha is back again this year to take your game to its highest level! Made from Louisville Slugger's classic ST+20 Alloy, the TPX Omaha will provide long-lasting durability and the consistently solid performance its fans have become accustomed to. The TPX Omaha has a one-piece construction with a stiff handle that allows more barrel flex to give players greater trampoline effect and higher performance on every swing. The bat is topped off with a Two-Color Endcap that locks energy in the barrel to give players even more explosive hits. With a cushioned synthetic grip on the 7/8 inch tapered handle, the TPX Omaha is as comfortable in your hands as it is high performing. This bat has a huge 2 3/4 inch barrel for the ultimate hitting surface. Louisville Slugger: Be the Best, or Swing the Rest! The TPX Omaha features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp and is legal for play in 2012 and beyond! It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

A feature-length film capturing Jimi Hendrix's extended 1969 performance at Woodstock will be screened in theaters starting later this month for the first time.
"Hendrix 70: Live at Woodstock" includes 14 performances such as his rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Purple Haze" featured in the original "Woodstock" theatrical film, plus "Spanish Castle Magic," "Red House" and "Lover Man" and "Izabella," "Fire" and "Villanova Junction" as Hendrix introduced his new band, Gypsy Sun & Rainbows.
The nearly-complete performance — some portions weren't filmed — was released on DVD in 1999, but this edition includes a new 5.1 surround-sound audio mix prepared by Hendrix's engineer, Eddie Kramer. The original 16-mm film footage was shot by director Michael Wadleigh and the team he brought to document the celebrated three-day rock festival in upstate New York.
This presentation also includes previously unreleased footage and interviews with Hendrix band members Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell, Kramer and Woodstock promoter Michael Lang.
Screenings start Nov. 26 and tickets and other information will be available at the official Hendrix website. In the L.A. area it will be shown Nov. 28 and Dec. 5 at the Rave 18 + IMAX theater in Los Angeles and Muvico multiplex in Thousand Oaks, and Dec. 4 at the Landmark Regent theater in Westwood.

Chris Carmichael, endurance champion Rebecca Rusch, and a team of nearly 20 CTS Athletes and Coaches traveled to Patagonia, Chile in January 2012 to compete in the Trans Andes Challenge. They came back forever changed! You have to experience this amazing part of the world, and there's no better way than with a week-long stage race through some of the most beautiful terrain in the world. For 2013, we're going back and if you come with us you'll benefit from bi-lingual guides and mechanics, comprehensive race support, and having all your meals and ground transportation taken care of. This package also includes an Endurance Boot Camp in Tucson, AZ in December!
This year will be our third edition of this ultimate cycling experience! You will ride every stage of the 2013 Amgen Tour of California, just hours ahead of the pro peloton. And this isn't just some cycling tour… if the CTS pack is too slow, you'll be pulled off the course before reaching the finish line. It's you against the pros, and they're going to be coming up behind you very fast! The group will be supported on the road by professional mechanics and follow vehicles, you'll be staying in the same hotels as the pro teams, and we'll take care of all the logistics. You just need to train, then show up prepared to ride hard enough to stay ahead of one of the top pro fields in the world!
Please call 866-355-0645 for details.
The name says it all: Race Across America. The training, logistics, and strategies for a successful RAAM can be extraordinarily complex. We'll take on the challenge of supporting you and your team from the start of the planning process all the way to the finish line! This is a challenge a lot of athletes want to tackle, but the planning and logistics just become too cumbersome. Not anymore: You handle the pedaling, we'll handle the rest.
This will be a custom-only package. Please call 719-635-0645 x1 if you're interested in racing RAAM with Carmichael Training Systems.
The Dirty Kanza 200 is unlike any other race you've done. It's 200 miles over gravel roads through the Kansas countryside. At first blush that might seem about as fun or interesting as sticking needles in your eyes, but this race is a hidden gem! CTS Athlete Services guru Cameron Chambers is a former winner and course record holder. CTS Coach Jim Lehman – who's a veteran of LT100, Trans Andes, La Ruta, USAPCC Race Exp., and ATOC Race Exp. – raced it in 2012. It's awesome. It's beautiful. It's ridiculously hard. Use this as your excuse to upgrade your cyclocross bike, then come out to Emporia, Kansas with CTS for this incredible race!
When the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah wanted to provide a world-class experience to fans of their challenging pro stage race, they came to Carmichael Training Systems. Why? We have a proven track record of professionalism, safety, and quality; our Race Experience products are officially licensed by the Amgen Tour of California and the USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
Now you can join a team of seasoned CTS Coaches for six of the most challenging days you'll ever spend on your bike! The Tour of Utah features high-altitude climbs, high temperatures, and unbelievably beautiful scenery. It's no wonder this is the stage race top pros come to after the Tour de France and before the USAPCC! Exclusively available through our partnership with the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah, you'll have the opportunity to eat, sleep, ride, and live like a pro cyclist.
The CTS Team will experience the full pro treatment. You'll be supported on the road and between stages by professional mechanics and soigneurs. You'll receive a post-stage massage daily, eat meals with the pro teams, stay in the same hotels as the pro teams, and have VIP Access to all stage finishes! This is as close as you'll ever get to living the pro cyclist lifestyle, and you'll come away with a whole new perspective on stage racing and your favorite pros!
Billed as the "most grueling mountain bike race in the world", this mountain bike stage race through the jungles of Costa Rica lived up to its moniker when CTS sent 15 athletes and coaches to the 2010 race. CTS Coach Jim Lehman, who won the Male 40-49 Classification said it was "the hardest thing I've ever done on a bicycle." But despite the extreme challenge, 14 of 15 CTS Athletes and Coaches completed the race in 2010. Utilizing our proven model for success, we achieved similar results in 2011 and 2012 with more teams, including 3x World Champion Rebecca Rusch in 2011.
For 2013 we have a great package for you that includes a Colorado Boot Camp, Comprehensive Race Support in Costa Rica, and your Race Entry.
As a member of the CTS team, you'll receive an entry into the race and full support during the camps and the race. Food, accomodations, and ground trasnportation in Costa Rica are included for your race trip. A Recon Camp is available as an optional add-on, as as coaching. Transportation to and from Costa Rica is not included.

Unbelievable. They did it again
Run like hell. I am shorting
Methinks it is load up time.
I knew they would fhock up again, and i fel for those who were cursing me out because they bought shares. You just have to \wait a little longer , that's all. DSCO has great product which will make TONS of money IF they can get it on the market before some other company steals their thunder
I honestly think it is time to take advantage of the crash. There seems to be a silver lining behind this stock, if only the management would learn how to launch a very wonderful product successfully. Patience might prevail.
Buy and hold
Very promising indeed, but frustrating. Good Luck to all

Check out this traveller's tip for booking your rental car early if you're heading to Newfoundland & Labrador - especially over the peak summer months.
Happily stranded in Rigolet
8 May 2013It's shortly after 6 p.m. early in September. I'm walking on a 4.4 km (2.6 mi.) boardwalk along the coast in Rigolet, the oldest Inuit community in Labrador. This region is part of Nunatsiavut—"our beautiful land"—and is only accessible by ship or plane (dog sled and skidoos in the winter.)
The Labrador Winter Games began in 1983 and has grown to become a sporting event, and a family event that every Labradorian wants a ticket to. Communities come together as one and select their finest athletes to represent them in what is also known as the 'friendship games.'
Outpost Expedition!

"What kinds of pie do you have tonight?" the man sitting by the window asked. He and I were both eating dinner in a café in the outport of Cow Head, N.L.
Don't forget to call ahead!

Cross Canada Cooks: Newfoundland and Labrador
27 Apr 2012The province of Newfoundland and Labrador teems with culinary traditions from the sea and the land...
Breaking the ice in Newfoundland
9 Apr 2012When the last of the pack ice disappears and St. John's harbour readies itself for summer traffic, one might be lucky enough to see an iceberg making its way behind the ships. The glaciers begin their parade down "iceberg alley" each April, slow moving and stately like German opera singers. It's a kind of magic, spotting one.
A first for Cain's Quest
1 Feb 2012For the first time, a married couple is entering the Cain's Quest snowmobile endurance race.
Labrador residents Coreen and Jason Paul have registered as the appropriately titled "Better half racing Team 39" to face one of the most brutal snowmobile challenges in all of the country and perhaps put their marriage vows to the ultimate test.
Newfoundland and Labrador is not a quick trip. But in the past few years, the brand seems to be everywhere, beckoning travellers to spend the time and money it takes to visit the province. That's thanks to a consistent campaign of cinematic TV ads showcasing the province's scenery and charming nature. For courting tourism in a down market, the campaign has won the Grand Prix at the 2012 edition of CASSIES, which award the best in Canadian advertising.
Newfoundland and Labrador: Days dawn first
15 Dec 2011Still relatively unknown as a tourism destination, Newfoundland and Labrador is a treasury of fascinating history, scenery, great seafood, ghostly "happenings", traditional music and friendly people.
But this is where the North American day dawns first.
Mummers fest just part of rocking Yuletide
3 Dec 2011An oversized bra worn over a plaid shirt with a flowing skirt, a face-shielding lace doily, a floppy hat and an ugly stick. That's a fairly standard costume for the wild and wonderful Yuletide tradition called mummering...
Where on earth can you hike trails for seven days straight that are at once beautifully wild and off the beaten path, yet also accessible and within reach of a comfortable B&B every night? Ruggedly scenic trails, weaving along and above the ocean, affording the occasional sighting of a whale or an iceberg as they hum with history spanning thousands of years?
Whale Watching in Newfoundland

Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism and WestJet have paired up to give Canadian residents the chance to win 48 free round-trip flights to Newfoundland and Labrador in just 48 half hours (that's 24 hours to some folks), starting at noon (NDT) today (10:30 AM Eastern).

Xbox Live - Shuffle Party update pulled after texture bug discovered
Title updates are usually intended to solve problems and squash bugs, but sometimes they introduce new issues of their own. Case in point, the recent Shuffle Party update somehow ended up slightly bugged when published to the Marketplace.
Before we delve into what happened, here are the Shuffle Party version 1.1 release notes:
- Game stability issues fixed. We had noticed more crash reports when connected to a Network than we could stand for.
- Avatars no longer appear standing backwards.
Unfortunately, after installing the update, dark and garbled textures appear on the tables, frame, puck, and bowling pins. As a temporary workaround, just head to the Pro Shop and select new skins to make everything look right again.
Developer Babaroga was surprised to encounter the texture bug, because both they tested the build beforehand. Likewise, Microsoft tested and certified it as well with no problems. Thus the texture bug most likely popped up during the process of publishing the build on the Marketplace. Both parties are investigating right now and hope to release a new, bug-free update soon. In the meantime, the versions 1.1 update has been pulled, so just sit tight if you hadn't already downloaded it.
That little update hitch aside, Shuffle Party is one of the better free Xbox Live games, second only to Wordament. With multiple modes: traditional table shuffleboard gameplay, bowling, and puzzle-like challenges, it'll keep players busy for a good while. See our review for more details, or grab the game here from the Marketplace.

Had this happen. I just re-skinned as described and all is good.
PhilR8 says:
Not only that, but I lost all of my purchased items and credits. Live cheevos still intact, though, so it's not really a big deal since all of the skins are ugly and I had already bought everything anyway. Still an awesome game that I play daily.
trainerchickrocks says:
So that's what the problem was! I uninstalled then reinstalled - fixed it!
MastrMeatWad says:
This is a great free game. Would love to see more tables, achievements, and games like this
tylerh1701 says:
Fun game! My 2nd favorite free one, after Breeze.
Racxie says:
I didn't update but it's still showing as being available. I'm still curious as to whether the new update also fixes the money glitch on the game.
jaded skies says:
Happened to me yesterday. Also removed my 3 star rating from two challenges at the end of level three.

The notice (which was shared with me by a homeowner) states that residents of apartments (like me), nursing homes, businesses and schools may not receive notification and asks homeowners to help spread the word.
The trihalomethanes are not considered an emergency - meaning it is not necessary to boil water or avoid tap water. In an emergency, the borough (or any municipality for that matter) would need to more aggressively notify all residents. Here is some more information on trihalomethanes from Public Works Director John Applegate from one of the first times we reported on this issue: http://patch.com/A-pfkf

Just to the north of Leicester Square is the bustling hub of London's Chinese community, Chinatown. It is a vibrant area, full of colour, the unusual, fantastic Asian cuisine, traditional medicine and authentic Chinese shopping. Chinatown is a must for anyone visiting London. So, let's go exploring.
It is no secret that the English love tradition, gentlemanly sports and a bitter rivalry between two opposing teams. One event which combines these three elements is The Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge Universities, raced every year between Putney and Mortlake on the River Thames. This year it will take place on the 31st of March 2013.
There's nothing quite like it when you enter a shop selling Vintage Clothes and bric-a-brac, the smell of pre-loved clothes from decades past just waiting to be discovered from amongst the crammed racks, sun dresses from the 50's, wool lined leather jackets from the 70's, a skinny eighties tie. You never know what you are going to find, it is like a treasure hunt for adults. And one of the best vintage clothes hunting grounds has to be London. Here is a guide to some of the best Vintage shops in London.
While we dream of shopping in Selfridges, the famed Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square, seeing a panto in the West End and all those other London Christmas traditions, we can also dream of coming back to our very own luxury apartment in London at the end of the day.
Now that the Gunpowder Plot is well buried into the past and all brutality highly stylised, Guy Fawkes Night is – somewhat ironically – considered a fun day out for all the family. If you're looking to experience this most British of festivals, here's a list of public fireworks displays in London for Bonfire Night 2012.
From haunted houses to Bonfire Night, there is something of the night about London. Think Jack the Ripper, the Black Death, Rocky Horror Show and all kinds of suspicious activities taking place in dark alleys (Saturday-night aftermath, anyone?). All of which makes Halloween in London a fantastically kitsch experience. Grab your wackiest costume and a group of friends: these are our guidelines for a happy Halloween in London 2012.
Come in, travellers, close the door and sit down next to the fire to warm your hands. Swathed in fog and rain, the streets of London hide dark mysteries of which you have never even heard tell, sinister secrets hidden behind the bricks and creaky doors of haunted houses… Would you like a cup of tea while you listen to the blood-curdling urban legends of the British capital? Come in, don't stay in the doorway...
Ultimately, as the Olympic cauldron returned back to the ashes and dust from which it came, we're pleased to say that the Paralympics Closing Ceremony was received with good reviews. A summer-long love affair with sport has ended, but will remain with us for long to come.
After all these days of competition, excitement and sporting records, the Olympic Games of London 2012 were given a send-off yesterday with a spectacular closing ceremony full of stars. This is the definitive London Olympics 2012 medal count…
Once again, we're kicking off Monday in Friendly Rentals by giving a quick recap of the London 2012 Olympic medal count.
You can get the London Olympics medal count sent directly to your Facebook feed once a week by "liking" our Facebook page, or you can keep in touch here, where every Monday we'll post the latest from the London Olympics medal count.
Fish & chips is actually said to have prevented a revolution during the Great Depression, as it allowed everyone access to a decent, cheap square meal. And the perfect fish & chips is more of an art form than you might realise. But enough waffling, you want to know where to find the best fish and chips in London.

Legendary Orioles Manager Earl Weaver Dies, Baltimore Area Reacts
Share your reaction to Earl Weaver's legacy in the comments.
Earl Weaver's sudden death at 82 years old has rocked the Baltimore area and baseball aficionados nationwide. Weaver died around 2 a.m. Saturday while on board an Orioles fantasy cruise in the Caribbean. His wife, Marianna, was at his side when he succumbed to a heart attack, the New York Daily News reported. The news broke while many fans were headed to the Orioles' annual FanFest at the Baltimore Convention Center, across the street from Camden Yards. Weaver's career and what he meant to Baltimore was on the lips of many fans and players. Weaver's No. 4 hung above the discussion panel stage, and his jersey was posted on the left side of the stage. Weaver's Baltimore Sun obituary described the Hall of Famer as a "cantankerous baseball …

How ever i try to install this game i getting error package missing opengles-sgx-img-common (=0.20091104.34+0m5) when i try to install NeHeGLES same... What is the problem? i Updated firmware Version 20.2010.36-2.205.1
Is that problem that i have latest firmware and open gl is not supported??? When try install preenv then i get error libgles1-sgx-img what i think is supported in open gl!!!??? What is ste story with this errors in latest firmwares???
Mieux que sur PC ! Il nous faudrait plus de jeux de courses, c'est excellent !
I suggest that you use this thread for troubleshooting http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36162
I could not install the application. I got the error:
Unable to install 'Tuxrace'. Some application packages required for the installation are missing.
Clicking on 'Details' tells me that the missing packages are:
libxmu6 libgles1
Can you help?
Perfect port with touch screen and accelerometer controls.
I also find the tutorial very useful for novice users.
This is the kind of game that shines on a smartphone with accelerometer-based control. Ingredients are intuitive gameplay, good 3D graphics, nice music and the right amount of challenge.
Thanks for porting this game! The ice looks a bit odd, though.

Sometime over the last 6 weeks during a sojourn in a hospital and rehab facility after breaking a hip, and being out of the house during this recovery period, we've just discovered a bottle of something sugary and syrupy cracked when shelves in a rarely used storage room collapsed. I haven't seen the site yet, but I'm told the syrupy liquid is not only all over the cans and packages which fell off two collapsed storage shelves but is also on an unfinished wood floor. I don't know if it's hardened yet or if it's still liquid. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to safely get all this syrupy mess cleaned, preferably salvaging the wood floor? I've never dealt with such a large sugary spill and wonder if perhaps salt would absorb some of the moisture and dry the syrup out so that it would be easier to clean. Is there anything else that could cut through syrup? I imagine it would harden up if left for awhile, but I don't want an invasion of ants or stinging insects being attracted to all the sugar. I'm wondering also if a citrus based cleaner would work? Lemon juice maybe? From what few small spills I've dealt with, syrup isn't easy to clean. Thanks for any suggestions. (I realize this is probably more appropriately a Cleaning topic, but this particular section of the forum gets more attention and the mess and the possibility of a permanently damaged floor extends beyond basic cleaning.) | |||
My recommendation would be to either rent a carpet extractor (which is one WITHOUT an agitating brush) and both spray down hot water and suck up syrup at the same time. (The difference between a carpet "shampooer" and a carpet "extractor" is that the shampooer will have some means of agitating the carpet pile, whereas the extractor won't. If you're trying to remove syrup, you don't want that agitating brush.) The alternative would be to simply scrape up what you can manually with a putty knife and then clean up what's left with damp sponges. | ||||
Some of the ideas here may be of some use? Cleaning up syrup spillThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Conrad, | ||||
Gardensprite: I have never had any difficulty cleaning pancake syrup off of dishes. The real question is: Is the stuff soluble in water? If it is, it's not going to be hard to clean up if you use water as your cleaner. | ||||
yeah, dishs are one thing, but you can get splinters licking it off the floor | ||||
Nestor and Conrad, thanks for the suggestions. Nestor, The floor actually has no carpet; it's basically a subflooring after my father tore the room apart to build a butcher block countertop the full length of the room. He never got around to adding a finished flooring application. But the information on a carpet extractor is helpful as occasionally we do spill something on the carpeted area of the house. I think we could probably rent one from ACO or ACE Hardware when we need it. I too have no problem getting syrup off of dishes, but they're relatively nonporous, unlike wood. Conrad, the suggestions were very helpful. We're going to try an ice application using canned ice and see how that works, and perhaps try other methods on smaller areas to test which is most effective. I've seen the spill; fortunately it's not as large as I expected but it's over and on top of cans, jars, and packaged food, and has seeped underneath them and most likely has soaked into the wood. I think some of the subfloor will have to be cut out and replaced. I'll let you know what works the best. Nona, thanks for the humor! Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to respond. | ||||
Not that you would necessarily want to do so, but if it cost a lot more to deal with the flooring and cleanup as well as food replacement, your home owners policy might come into play. Depending on what your deductible was, that is. | ||||
the cheapo method would be cover with a hot, wet towel.. remove when cool, scrape with a putty knife... lather, rinse and repeat darn near forever until clean. the subfloor might need to be replaced in the area of the spill because you might never get the last trace of syrup out of the wood pores. carpenter ants, maybe, but not you. that's not a horrid process... mark a square around the mess that nails/screws show gets to the studs, cut so half the stud is uncovered, nail cleats where needed to support both sides of subfloor when the new stuff is installed, then cut a piece of plywood of the same thickness and screw it in. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
Actually, if the stuff is soluble in water, you don't even need to rent a carpet shampoo'er. Just use a wet dry vaccuum cleaner with a cheap squeegee nozzle like the ones sold at Sears or made by Rigid and sold at Home Depot. Spill some water on the floor and agitate so that the syrup dissolves in the water and then vaccuum up that sugar water. Repeat as needed to get all the sugar out of the wood. | ||||

Ejection seats in helos were rejected for several of the reasons given above in US service. The main one is that it takes time to eject that you don't have at low level. Systems tested included jettisoning the entire crew module, jettisoning the seat, or rocket extraction. The K-37-800 is an extraction system.
All three cases depended on jettisoning the rotors first. This leads to a VERY rapid sink rate on a helo and that makes it likely that the ejection sequence would be interrupted by ground interface at low levels. Not to mention as
said it would be rather hazardous to fly in tight formation as most pilots are taught to do so for mutual aid. In the 80s in NYC where I lived a helo had a mishap atop what was the Pan Am building at the time (Met Life now) and it shed a blade that flew about eight blocks before intersecting a pedestrian, literally...
- great points, but extraction seats are significantly lighter than ejection seats, less than 100lbs vs 150-250lbs for seats (crew capsules start around 450, modules way up from there...). When you consider the weight of an armored crew seat on a attack helo it isn't that great an excess weight, and with modern engines helos typically have enough torque to spare a little if needed.
One other quick point is the K-37-800 pulls the crew out at an angle, leading to potential injuries. That was a problem when they tested the YANKEE a long time ago in AH-1s. I have reports on this stuff somewhere, but haven't had time to review them.

Did a little review of a 1973 vintage publication (for NATO countries) on the issue. The authors investigated several different concepts and had some interesting things to say about the issue. Manual bailout was listed as a decent concept for a low cost retrofit, but the min altitude issue was very problematic given the statistics. Sideward extraction was also a retrofit possibility, but with issues. Should a two-man tandem design like the Apache be fitted with extraction systems for example the fastest method would be simultaneous extraction in opposite directions (hoping the rotor disk wasn't too low on one side...) This would be problematic in the position of the collective interfering with one crewman's extraction.
For new design/built aircraft investigation was done into upward ejection or extraction, sideward ejection with L-shaped trajectory, or escape capsule. For upward ejection/extraction the rotor severance issues come into play. Concepts were pretty interesting including severing the rotor mast (which they suggested would need a method to raise and lock the collective inputs prior to that to allow for a predictable flight path of the disk.) Others included sequenced and simultaneous severing of rotor blades. Vibration was an issue, as well as risk of entanglement with the egressing crew and other vehicles in the area. Testing was done on sequenced ejection of blades in a set azimuth. Don't be in a formation in that direction and you probably would be safe! Simultaneous blade severance came in two flavors- all at once or pairs (in even number blade disks only). Technically all these concepts were reasonably valid, but most required a significant test progam to validate.
The L-shaped ejection path was one of the most interesting, but probably psycologically impossible one to accept. Rather than jettisoning the rotor, the seat would fire sideways (at up to 11G) and fly horizontally until it cleared the rotor disk, then rocket upwards for clearance. Technology for this existed in '73, but would have required a long, expensive test program to make it worthwhile. It also would require significant design changes to the cockpit to allow for the ejection path. (Stowing of cyclic/collective and side consoles, etc.) In the 1990s the CREST and 4th Generation Ejection Seat programs showed that complete trajectory control of a seat (with accelleration rate controls too) could be accomplished if desired so this concept would be easier to do now if the requirement came up.
Escape capsules as defined in the publication would be severance of non-essential portions of the vehicle and recovery of the crew areas by parachute cluster. This would have to be a blank blueprint incorporated design, and would have had many issues that would make it difficult. The diagrams in the report of a CH-47-class bird with six parachutes or the CH-53-class design with six parachutes and a huge group of airbags below is rather interesting.
Beyond this report I reviewed a video I have of a test using a CH-53-class bird on a rocket sled at Holloman AFB (846th Test Squadron) using a YANKEE or RANGER Extraction system. The sled seems to be moving at a low (100kt or less) rate and the rotors are spinning. They are severed on an azimuth of about 2 o'clock sequentially then the roof seems to explode in shards of plexiglass and the two rockets are simultaneously launched out by catapult. The ignite at the end of the 3 meter lanyards and extract the two 'pilots'. It is a very quick clip so I can't tell much more than that, but I'd say there were no rotor entanglement issues (although the trajectories were not stable), and the extractions appeared clean.
I know AH-1 Cobras were similarly tested and the system was found to work reasonably well. I am not in the 'know' on why they were not produced but seat manufacturers have told me that they could make a system IF a requirement ever came along from the 'customer'.
By the way, the report conclusion is very intense on its insistance that an escape capability should be provided as soon as possible. I do know that crew seat improvements have made it significantly more safe to crash land than the versions available when the report was written. Most ejection seatseat manufacturers have designed impact absorbant crew seats for helicoptors for example...
The Ejection Site
ps as to weight increases they list some 60kg per crewman for ejection seats and less than that for extraction systems. These weights were for 1973 technology though. The McDonnell-Douglas Minipac and Martin-Baker Mk 15s were designed later and are significantly lighter/smaller ejection seats for trainers and for consideration for helicopter use.

That Holloman video you describe was one of several that were shown at the college lecture I mentioned...all the others were abysmal failures. As a tester and engineer I accept that failures often happen on the road to success, but those were brutal, the failure mechanisms were different in every case, and the final one that eventually worked was deemed to be "lucky" by the lecturer. An analysis was then done to see how many crews would actually be saved even if it did work as designed...it was never intended nor possible to be a zero-zero system so there were a lot of flight conditions where it simply would not help and the crews had a better chance of surviving if they would try to set it down instead. Turned out to not be a worthwile investment.

Just to be clear, your earlier post seemed to indicate the blade sep method was the problem. The YANKEE is a proven system, and I have several 0-0 videos of it so I know that works for fixed wing. It was even live tested as the 'away' system in the days before manikins got all the fun jobs. The issue to me is more that the rotors were always the main problem.

Besides, most helicopters don't need ejection seats since they do better by auto-rotating down. Unless the tail is taken out, then they spin down.

That's how it was presented. But that was also over 20 years ago so I trust your judgement on this one. Either way, it came down to a business case that it wasn't worth it. Any Helo so beat up you can't autorotate will probably not be stable enough to allow aircrew extraction.

Dogs of the Titanic: 12 aboard, 3 survived
Everybody who has seen Titanic, the movie, knows that it centers on a tragic love story.
Not everybody knows that, when the ship went down 100 years ago Saturday, it threatened to cut short at least 12 more, of the inter-species variety.
As Amy Worden reports in the Philadelphia Inquirer, that's how many dogs boarded the Titanic for its fateful voyage in 1912. Three of them survived the tragedy.
One of them was Lily, a Pomeranian whose owner, Margaret Hays, 24 at the time, grabbed her from the cabin and wrapped her in a blanket before boarding a lifeboat.
Other, less lucky dogs were an Airedale named Kitty, who belonged to financier John Jacob Astor, and a fox terrier named Dog, owned by William Dulles, a Philadelphia attorney.
The dogs of Titanic are featured in an exhibit, RMS Titanic: 100 Years, that opened this week at the Widener Art Gallery at Widener University in Chester.
"Not a whole lot is known about the dogs," said exhibit curator J. Joseph Edgette, a Titanic scholar and professor emeritus of education and folklore at Widener. "All belonged to first class passengers. When the rich and famous traveled they took their dogs with them."
Since dogs were considered cargo there was no official list of those on board.
But Edgette, based on his research into the personal papers of passengers, created his own "pet manifest" listing the dogs, their names, breeds and owners.
All of the objects in the exhibit, which runs through May 12, come from Edgette's collection, including the photograph (above) of a group of Titanic dogs on the deck.
Edgette says one popular Titanic dog story turns out not to be true.
Capt. Edward Smith's dog, Ben, did not go down the with ship. Ben spent the night before on the ship, but was taken to Smith's home before it sailed from Southampton.

Contemplative Pedagogy: Teaching and Learning Techniques to Enhance Student Awareness and Attention
Date: Thursday, March 28, 2013
Time: Noon–1 pm (ET)
Location: WebEx Presentation
Abstract: Contemplative pedagogy is a relatively new, student-centered approach to teaching and learning that helps students focus their attention, explore and identify personal meanings from external circumstances, and creatively reflect on these meanings as they relate to the broader social context. In line with the UMUC Learning Model Principle #3 -- students' active learning -- this study supported the creation of a teaching/learning module in the Online Social Science Toolkit that both instructors and students at UMUC can use to enhance learning. This presentation will (1) provide background on the contemplative pedagogy approach, (2) explain how the Module for social-science students was created and how it can be used, and (3) provide some specific examples of exercises that can be used in online classrooms across a variety of disciplines.
Donna Maurer, Ph.D. has been teaching online Sociology courses for UMUC since April 2001. She received her doctorate from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale in 1997 and then completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Writing Across the Curriculum from the John S. Knight Writing Center at Cornell University in 1999. Dr. Maurer is the author of Vegetarianism: Movement or Moment?, published by Temple University Press in 2002, as well as the co-editor of three books on the sociology of food and body weight issues. In addition to teaching for UMUC, she works as a freelance academic editor for social scientists. She is a member of the American Sociological Association and the Association for Contemplative Mind in Society.

Developing Intercultural Competence through Online Undergraduate Instruction: A Pre and Post Test Study
Date: Thursday, April 11, 2013
Time: Noon–1 pm (ET)
Location: Largo Auditorium and WebEx (Desserts and drinks will be provided.)
Abstract: With the advent of globalization, researchers in higher education have been increasingly interested in the idea of the "internationalization" of education, a concept which encompasses two dimensions: international knowledge and intercultural competence (Stone, 2006). While study abroad programs have emerged as one effort to provide cultural experiences and incorporate intercultural competencies into undergraduate and graduate academic programs, this study investigates distance education as a platform which lends itself to developing global competencies and knowledge. In this study we employed a quasi-experimental research strategy to determine to what extent exposure to the theories, models, research, and practices of intercultural competence, as well as different methods of instruction, change undergraduate students' levels of intercultural competence. We compared pre and post intervention levels of intercultural competency by using The INCA (Intercultural Competence Assessment) instrument. We also compared the group that used journaling versus the group that did not use journaling as part of their intervention. Initial results will be shared in this seminar.
Dr. Liliana Meneses is the Academic Director for the Human Resource Management in the Undergraduate program at UMUC. Liliana has worked in Education for more than 20 years, as a teacher, a school administrator, and a trainer, and for the past ten years she has worked specifically with higher education and consulting/training in various places such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil, Hungary and Prague.

Winning through Conflict: Successful Management of Multiple Goals in the Online Education Environment
Date: Thursday, May 9, 2013
Time: Noon-1pm ET
Location: Largo Classroom 1390 and WebEx (Desserts and drinks will be provided.)
Abstract: People often have multiple goals, and pursuing them at the same time creates a sense of inter-goal conflict, which is detrimental for successful goal pursuit. For example, majority of adult learners balance multiple important goals (such as successful career, family), while simultaneously trying to achieve their academic goals (getting a degree). In this project, the researcher assesses the impact of multiple goal conflict on behavior of online students, such as decisions about course load, difficulty of course taken, self-reported level of goal conflict, progress towards the online degree and success in goal pursuit (GPA and graduation). The research discusses the implications of multiple goal conflict management as it relates to online education, students' academic success and retention.
Dr. Anna Andriasova is an Associate Professor in the Graduate School and is currently serving as the Acting Chair of Business and Executive Programs Department at University of Maryland University College (UMUC). Anna has taught various courses in the MBA, Executive, One Year and Dual MBA programs as well as Doctoral program at UMUC. She has also taught at the University of Texas at Austin and the American University of Armenia.
Anna has worked as marketing manager in several large companies in Armenia where she was developing and implementing marketing strategies for the country-wide operations. She also worked as a consultant for several other local businesses. Her research interests are in the area of non-traditional marketing communications and online education.

"We are honored to be held in such esteemed company with Logitech, Palm
and BMW for an award in design excellence," said Pam Horan, Vice President
of Marketing for Zinio, LLC "Zinio designed its Zinio Reader
in an easy-to-read format that likens reading a magazine on your computer
with the print version."
The Business Week IDEA report described Zinio's gold award as "the
power-of-experience design is evident in the gold-winning software Zinio
Reader. It combines the magazine reading experience -the turning of pages,
color images, navigation through headlines and charts and advertising
- with interactivity. It's simply dazzling, with subscribers being able
to download video clips and interact directly with advertisers."
Seeking to re-create the experience of reading a magazine as closely as
possible, the Zinio Reader was created by design firm IDEO. Human Factors
specialists studied how people read magazines, such as on a train or at
their desk. IDEO's research noted how readers flip through magazines,
use visual memory cues to find articles or advertising, and mark pages
with Post-Its or dog-ears. As a result, designers created a highly-intuitive
interface that enhances, rather than detracts from, the act of reading
digital media. The software also allows readers to store multiple magazines,
creating an easily accessible digital library.
Since March 2002, Zinio has delivered more than 6 million digital magazines
to 400,000 customers in 200 countries. Zinio currently delivers more than
70 titles, including BusinessWeek, Motor Trend, Harvard Business Review
and PC Magazine from 30 leading publishers. Major partners include
McGraw-Hill, Primedia, Technology Review Inc., Ziff-Davis, Reed Business
Information and IDG.
