Writers on Country Pursuits and Pastimes
§ 1. Gervase Markham.
WHILE the great Elizabethan writers were producing poems, plays and other masterpieces destined to take an enduring place in English literature, there was another side of literary activity, which, though practically unrecognised as literature, yet had an important influence on a large body of readers for the majority of whom polite literature scarcely existed. The books that formed this by-stream appealed to the country squire and the yeoman, not, indeed, as literature, but as storehouses of factspractical guides to their agricultural occupations, or instruction in their favourite pastimes of hunting and hawking, fishing and gardening.
Before this period, but few books dealing with these subjects had appeared in print. The first and most famous among them was
The Book of St. Albans,
first printed about 1486, which stood practically alone until the appearance, early in the sixteenth century, of Walter of Henleys
Book of Husbandry
and Fitzherberts treatise on the same subject. But it was not till the second half of the century that these subjects, in common with every other branch of literature, were fully developed in that productive age.
For the materials of this literature, there were two main sources: one, the stock of native lore, which was the outcome of the practical experience of generations, supplemented by an occasional dip at the well of superstition, and this was preserved to some extent in manuscript as well as handed down by oral tradition; the other, contemporary foreign literature, notably that of Italy, which was freely drawn upon in the way of translation, these versions being often the work of the purely literary man or of the hack-writer who brought to the subject little or nothing of first-hand knowledge.
The outstanding name among the workers in this field is that of the prolific and versatile enthusiast Gervase Markham, whose activity extended from the last decade of the sixteenth century to his death in 1637. He was born about 1568, and, in his early years, spent at his Nottinghamshire home, he naturally became familiar with every aspect of country life. Like many other younger sons of the time, he took to a military career; but, after some years experience in the wars of the Low Countries, he exchanged his sword for the pen.
The subjects with which he dealt included such matters as hunting, hawking, husbandry, gardening, housewifery and the military art, diversified by occasional excursions into polite literature in the shape of plays and poems. But, of the many sides of his literary activity, the most prominent, as well as most congenial, was, without doubt, that dealing with horsemanship and the veterinary art.
The first of the long series of his books on horses was issued in 1593 under the title
A Discource of Horsmanshippe.
In this same year, also, he made his first essay in
belles lettres,
by preparing for the press a poem entitled
Thyrsis and Daphne;
but no copy of this is known to have survived. After having reissued the
in a new and enlarged guise, under the title
How to chuse, ride, traine, and diet, both hunting-horses and running horses,
he followed it, in 1605, with a treatise on
How to trayne and teach horses to amble.
Two years later, Markham produced his chief work on his favourite theme, the horse, with whose nature and use, he claims with some pride, I have been exercised and acquainted from my Childhood, and I hope, without boast, need not yield to any in this Kingdome.
This book he entitled
Cavelarice, or the English Horseman.
But it was not in Markhams nature to be satisfied with so brief, though comprehensive, a title. Showman at heart as he was, the big drum must be beat, and the attention of the world called to the wonders to be found within. So, characteristically, and with a flourish, he sets forth his wares in detail, and acclaims their originality and his own altruism. Here is the whole:
Cavelarice, or the English Horseman: contayning all the Arte of Horsemanship, as much as is necessary for any man to understand, whether he be Horse-breeder, horse-ryder, horse-hunter, horse-runner, horse-ambler, horse-farrier, horse-keeper, Coachman, Smith or Sadler. Together with the discovery of the subtill trade or mistery of horse-coursers, and an explanation of the excellency of a horses understanding, or how to teach them to doe trickes like Bankes his Curtall: And that horses may be made to drawe drie-foot like a Hound. Secrets before unpublished, and now carefully set down for the profit of this whole Nation.
But, if Markham was adept at displaying his wares, he was no less a master in the choice of appropriate patrons and in the writing of dedicationsa practice reduced to a fine art in those days. It was a poor book which could not be made to carry two, if not three, of his dedicatory epistles, for each of which he doubtless looked for some remuneration. In
the division into books affords him opportunity for no less than eight dedications, leading off with prince Henry, to whom succeed noblemen of various titles duly graduated. In issuing a new edition, corrected and augmented, with many worthy secrets not before known, ten years later, the name of Charles, prince of Wales, is quietly substituted for that of the late prince, without the slightest change in the terms of the address.
And, when we come to the text of the book itself, Markham is not wanting in this matter either. He is master of his subject; and, whether he calls upon the stores of his own experience, or, as was much the fashion in his time, uses material drawen out of the most approved authors, he conveys the impression of writing with full knowledge, and inspires confidence as one who speaks with the unhesitating assurance of authority. His directions are full and clear, and his style is touched with an enthusiasm and an engaging familiarity which bring his reader into close contact and almost convey the illusion of oral instruction. Now and again, one comes across bits of that deep-rooted country tradition which has not even yet worn itself out, such as when he directs that If your horse be shrewe-runne, you shall looke for a briere which growes at both endes, and draw your horse thorow it and he will be well. But Markham is not much given to this kind of thing, and, whether it was a concession to rural superstition or a filching from one of his approved authors, it is noticeable that he neither gives the symptoms of being shrew-runne nor describes the nature of the malady.
The mention, in the title-page, of Bankes his Curtall, is a reference to a celebrated performing horse, called Marocco, which his owner, one Banks, a Scotsman, had taught to do tricks so astonishing that both the dancing horse and its trainer achieved a European reputation. Shakespeare, in
Loves Labours Lost,
makes reference to Maroccos power of counting money, and many other allusions to his cleverness may be found in contemporary literature. The most renowned exploit of this famous animal was the ascent of St. Pauls Cathedral, which took place in 1600. He was afterwards exhibited in Paris, Frankfort and other places, and the amazement which his performances created brought his owner under the suspicion of employing magic. But Markham, with his knowledge of horse training, calls Banks an exceeding honest man; and, since it would be impossible for Markham to admit his inferiority to any one in any matter relating to horsemanship, a chapter is, accordingly, devoted to showing How a horse may be taught to doe any tricke done by Bankes his Curtall.
In one of his later books,
Markham complains that, by reason of a too greedy and hasty bookseller, his
was not only exceedingly falsely printed, but, also, the most part of the book of cures was left out. To supply this omission, he brought out, in 1610, his
wherein, he says, I have set down every disease, and every medicine, so full and so exactly that there is not a farrier in this kingdome, which knowes a medicine for any disease, which is true and good indeed, but I will finde the substance thereof in that booke. Markham evidently prided himself on this work, in which he describes himself to be amply and fully adorned with the best of his own feathers; and his estimation of it as his master-piece finds justification in the fact that it continued in use for upwards of one hundred years.
Not content with having produced these comprehensive works on his special subject, he sought to reach a still wider circle; and, in 1616, he brought out a popular little octavo called
Markhams Method: or Epitome,
which, with an innate knowledge of the essential elements of popularity, he further attractively described as containing his approved remedies for all diseases whatsoever, incident to horses, and they are almost 300, all cured with twelve medicines onely, not of twelve pence cost and to be got commonly everywhere; and he also includes remedies for the diseases of every description of domestic live stock, from oxen and sheep to hawks and singing birds. By this time, he is well aware that he has gained the reputation of being a book-maker, for, in the preface, he says,
me thinks I heare the world say: Sir, why load you thus both mens mindes and the Booke-sellers stalls with such change and variety of Bookes, all upon one subject, as if men were tyed to your readings?
and he then proceeds, in three pages, to justify the appearance of this epitome. But, however plausibly Markham might defend his book-making in print, the stationers concerned in his publications felt that this multiplying of treatises was becoming a serious matter, and, from the following entry in the register of the Stationers company, it appears that they took steps to protect their interest in such of his books as were already in print.
Memorandum That I Gervase Markham of London gent Do promise hereafter Never to write any more book or bookes to be printed, of the Deseases or cures of any Cattle, as Horse, Oxe, Cowe, sheepe, Swine and Goates &c. In witnes whereof I have hereunto sett my hand the 14th Day of Julie. 1617.
Gervis Markham.
It is probably this memorandum which has led to Markham being often described as the first English hackney writer, a phrase used by Harte; but he no more deserves this appellation than many another contemporary writer, and there is no evidence that he was employed by the booksellers to write any of his numerous books. How, or by whom, he was induced to sign the promise does not appear, but it was hardly to be expected that such an enthusiast could thus completely forswear his especial hobby.
For some years, he spent his energies upon other subjects, but, in his later days, he brought out yet two other small horse books,
The Complete Farriar, or the Kings High-way to Horsmanship
Markhams Faithfull Farrier.
In sending forth the latter, he utters a note suggestive of the weariness of age, but he shows no abatement of his claim to supremacy in veterinary lore, he has lost nothing of his valiant assurance, and he still does all for the publick good.
Having [he says] gained experience all my life to these present dayes, wherein I am ready to creepe into the earth, willing now at the important request of my best friends, [I] have yeelded my selfe to lay the glory of my skill in Horsemanship, open to the World: and having kept secret in the Cabinet of my Brest, these Secrets, by which I have gained from many a Noble person, many a fayre pound, I now bestow it upon thee for the value of sixe pence. It may be; some will account me a Foole in Print, for disclosing my Secrets, but I ever regarded the life of the worthy Horse, before the word of a foole.

TPS 15 for BMW CAN-BUS 15A relais switch
Number plate splash guard for BMW R1200GS to 2012/R1200GS Adventure to 2013
Stainless steel headlight protector with quick release fastener for BMW R1200GS up to 2012, R1200GS-ADV up to 2013
BMW R1200GS Skid Plate - The Touratech skid plate is crafted from lightweight and strong aluminum plate and is welded in the corners to increase strength. A low profile design maximizes ground clearance and the 6 mounting points offer a reliable connection to your BMW R1200GS or GS Adventure.
Why do you need a skid plate on the R1200GS? Because the motorcycle has a large motor and no frame to protect the underside. This means that in rough terrain and off-pavement riding situations you can easily damage the motor by bottoming out without the appropriate protection.
Touratech has engineered 6 mounting points to ensure a reliable connection to the motorcycle. The Touratech system utilizes a bonded-rubber isolator connection to ensure that the plate absorbs the impact while transferring the least force possible to the engine.
Touratech has designed the skid plate to have a smooth bottom surface. In the case that the bike contacts the ground, or a log, for example, the smooth surface allows the R1200GS to slide over the obstacle.
With a total length measuring 24 inches, the protection extends from the front exhaust crossover all the way back to the center stand. The catalytic converter is completely protected.
Touratech skid plates have been tested by world travelers in some of the most remote and rugged places on earth. The Touratech skid plate for the R1200GS is the only one trusted by GlobeRiders founder, Helge Pedersen.
"I've ridden thousands of miles all over the world, crossing rocky rivers, bouncing through pot-holed dirt roads and shaking my teeth loose on washboard surfaces. The Touratech skid plate has protected the engine every mile of the way. This is the only skid plate I trust and recommend to my clients."
- Helge Pedersen, Founder, GlobeRiders
For additional protection consider our Skid plate Reinforcement Kit
(044-0300 up to 2007, or 044-3040 2008-on). This is an additional protector that adds a layer of steel PLUS a rubber cushion between the skidplate and the most vulnerable part of the sump; for use in sharp rocks or other extreme terrain.
NOTE: If you have the 30th Anniversary Edition 1200GS with the special "Enduro" skid plate, or have the optional "Enduro" skid plate installed from the dealership, you need to purchase extra parts to fit our skidplate to your motorcycle. You have two options:
1) Go to your BMW dealer and purchase the "normal" front skidplate bracket, BMW part # 11117695189 to mount this skid plate.
2) Purchase our "Skid Plate Reinforcement Kit". This item is a much stronger, and more protective version of the BMW part 11117695189.

Fairchild Patent Notebooks
The Fairchild Semiconductor patent and laboratory notebooks date from before the dawn of the integrated circuit. The work contained in the notebooks revolutionized the science and manufacturing of microelectronics and drove the explosive growth of the region we now know as Silicon Valley. Fairchild was founded by Gordon Moore, Robert Noyce, Jean Hoerni, Julius Blank, Eugene Kleiner, Victor Grinich, Jay Last, and Sheldon Roberts. The history-making contributions of these entrepreneurs included inventing the modern semiconductor manufacturing technology (the planar process); building the first practical integrated circuits; the invention of the low power technology CMOS that enables every portable digital device today; and pioneering the development of semiconductor memory. All of these breakthroughs and many others critical to our modern technological society grew from ideas documented in these notebooks spanning 1957 through the 1980s.
Thanks to Texas Instruments, which donated the Notebooks in 2012, the Computer History Museum is excited to continue preserving the heritage of Fairchild Semiconductor and its extraordinary founders. CHM encourages monetary donations to continue their work preserving and providing access to the Fairchild Notebooks.

Scouting Report: Taylor is a downhill linebacker, best in using his instincts to make plays around the line of scrimmage. Taylor diagnoses plays well, takes good angles to the ball and is a sound tackler. Taylor needs improvement in playing coverage and projects to be a good tw0-down linebacker in the NFL. Long arms let him stack and shed blockers well and allow him to wrap up tackles nicely. Taylor seems best suited playing inside on running downs in the NFL as well as a special teamer.
Notes: Taylor's 2011 ended prematurely as he had a foot injury that required surgery. In 2012 he had 76 tackles, 10.5 for loss and 5.5 sacks. In Carson, he had a good week of practice and despite being used in a strongside role that he less familiar with in the Collegiate Bowl. Even so, he adjusted well and picked up his assignments quickly as the week went on. During the game Taylor played well notching an interception while in coverage.

ASTORIA — Parents of students in District 30 will meet with schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott Monday night to advocate for more seats for gifted children, parents and education officials said.
The Community Education Council (CEC) for District 30 — which includes schools in Astoria, Long Island City, Sunnyside, Woodside and Jackson Heights — met with DOE officials on Friday to hear the city's proposal, said CEC co-president Isaac Carmignani.
That plan includes starting a new middle school program at I.S. 126 in Long Island City similar to the popular G&T middle school Academy now in place at Astoria's P.S. 122, according to a DOE spokesman.
Currently, the gifted Academy at P.S. 122 is the only G&T middle school program in District 30, and it isn't enough to accommodate the number of gifted students coming from the district's four elementary school G&T programs, parents say.
Elementary school students enrolled in the G&T programs at P.S. 122 and Sunnyside's P.S. 150 have historically been guaranteed spots at P.S. 122. This past fall, parents were outraged when the city proposed making those students reapply to the program once they hit fifth grade, instead of having them automatically transferred in.
A DOE spokesman said that under the city's new proposal, students currently enrolled in the G&T program at P.S. 122 and P.S. 150 will be guaranteed a seat at the G&T middle school Academy at 122.
However, incoming G&T kindergartners at P.S. 150 — those who enter the school this September — will need to re-apply to G&T once they hit fifth grade, instead of being placed into the Academy automatically.
But those students required to reapply would have their admissions determined by their math and English language state test scores from the fourth grade, so they wouldn't need to take an additional test, something parents had been concerned about.
"I think we've gotten 90 percent or more of everything that was requested by the community," Carmignani said, saying the CEC was pleased to hear the proposal for the new middle school program at I.S. 126 would mirror that of the highly regarded P.S. 122 Academy.
The proposed I.S. 126 program would accommodate about 60 sixth-graders, starting in the 2013-14 school year.
Carmignani said the CEC would also like the city to guarantee gifted middle school placement for elementary school students currently enrolled in a newer G&T program at P.S. 166, saying parents there were originally promised their students would have a destination.
The DOE is proposing those students be required to reapply once they hit fifth grade.
The CEC District 30 town hall meeting will take place Monday, Jan. 14 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the auditorium in P.S. 234, 30-15 29th St. in Long Island City. For more information and to confirm, call the CEC District 30 office at (718) 391-8380.

In the past two weeks a single issue has generated more emails and phone calls to elected officials than any other in the history of the Catholics Confront Global Poverty campaign – a joint advocacy initiative of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS). What is the issue that has generated such an enthusiastic response from Catholics across the country? Poverty-focused development and humanitarian assistance.

The month of July set a record for rainfall in the city of Chicago – over 11 inches of rain. Do you remember the seemingly constant rainfall? For most of us, it was merely a nuisance to be tolerated. At worst, some of us had to deal with flooded basements or power outages. As Chicago and the surrounding areas were inundated with record rainfall in July, our sisters and brothers in East Africa (Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia) were in the throes of a devastating drought and subsequent famine (in Somalia). In fact, they still are.

As we filed off the overly air conditioned minibus and felt the rays of the strong mid-morning sunshine in the village of Pounkouan in southern Burkina Faso, my immediate thought was, "it's only going to get hotter." However, before I had the opportunity to process that thought, I heard a pulsating, rhythmic beat followed by chanting, singing and the guttural screams that, for many, personify the 'Dark Continent' that is Africa. Having spent three days in Burkina Faso at that point, with diocesan leaders in Hispanic Ministry from across the country as a part of the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) delegation to Burkina Faso and Ghana, I knew this was not something to be skeptical, wary or afraid of. Instead, as all 13 of us made our way down a dusty, dirt path around a small cluster of mud brick huts our eyes converged on the source. Underneath a 20-foot mango tree in the center of the village were two columns of ladies dressed in stunning beige, black striped dresses adorned with large red keys and keyholes; singing, screaming and moving to the beats in unison and with a purpose.

Pope Francis' highly publicized recent interview with an Italian Jesuit magazine has ushered in a new era for the Roman Catholic Church — an era of record levels of misinterpretation of the pontiff's words, both by the liberal media and by conservative Catholics who have been grousing about Francis ever since he washed the feet of a Muslim girl during Holy Week.
The remark most focused on was this: "We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods.... The teaching of the church … is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time."
How were the pope's remarks portrayed? The New York Times headline for its story about the interview read: "Pope Says Church Is 'Obsessed' With Gays, Abortion and Birth Control." Not to be outdone, the New York Daily News headlined: "Blunt pontiff tells flock to quit yammering about gay marriage, abortion, and contraceptives" Here's CNN: "Pope Francis: Leave Gays Alone."
SLIDE SHOW: Pope Francis' small steps to lift liberals' hearts
There was also a cavalcade of social media postings. Daily Beast columnist Andrew Sullivan, an openly gay Catholic who had sneered at Francis' predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, for calling homosexuality an "intrinsic disorder," tweeted ecstatically: "I am, I must confess, still reeling from Pope Francis' new, lengthy and remarkable interview." Actress Jane Fonda, who isn't a Catholic but who obviously sees Francis as an ally in her perennial battle against Republicans, tweeted: "Gotta love new Pope. He cares about poor, hates dogma. Unlike US Congress. Cutting $40bil from food stamps." Matthew Yglesias, a columnist for Slate, confessed in a tweet that he liked "a lot of this new Pope's ideas, but still have serious doubts about the part where Jesus dies for my sins and rises again."
Finally came the commentary. Yglesias' Slate colleague William Saletan wrote a 1,600-word column titled "Pope Francis Is a Liberal" and hinting that the pontiff was on the verge of ditching such Catholic doctrinal "mistakes" as papal infallibility and the ban on birth control. NARAL Pro-Choice America, the pro-abortion lobbying organization, posted an orange e-card on its Facebook page reading "Dear Pope Francis, Thank you. Signed, Pro-choice women everywhere." House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who has been denounced by her fellow Catholics for supporting abortion rights, declared that Francis was "starting to sound like a nun" — a reference to American sisters who were censured by the Vatican for publicly challenging church doctrine and promoting "radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith."
Ironically, many conservative Catholics, who disagree with liberals on practically everything else, actually agree with their archenemies that Francis is poised to radically alter the Catholic Church. A tweet from the group blog Rorate Caeli — so arch-traditionalist that its banner consists of a photo of the last pre-Second Vatican Council pope, Pius XII, who died in 1958 — asserted that Francis may be "the Successor of St. Peter" but "he's not the owner of the Church or her doctrine." On Fr. Z's Blog, an Internet refuge for Catholics fed up with having to sing folk songs at Mass instead of Gregorian chants, a commenter wrote: "It's insulting to be told we Catholics who are fighting against the great evils of the day are spending too much time on such things (you know, those mortal sin things) and apparently are mean curmudgeons who aren't nice enough to people."
In fact, Francis, as he made clear in his interview, isn't likely to deviate from any aspect of traditional Catholic teaching. He reiterated that God doesn't "condemn and reject" anyone, including gays, but loves them, is cognizant of the pain they feel and yearns for them to repent of their sins and confess them. The very day after the interview was published, Francis, in an audience with Catholic gynecologists, vociferously denounced abortion as a symptom of today's "throwaway culture."
But that is in some ways beside the point. The Catholic Church really is changing, although not exactly in the fashion liberals would like. The church is changing because the world itself is changing. The hegemony of the West, technologically advanced but in demographic, economic, cultural and religious decline, may well be over. The previous pope, Benedict XVI, was born and raised in Germany, and his high aesthetic and intellectual ethos may have represented the last gasp of that rich and self-confident Western European civilization, rooted in Christianity, that gave us Michelangelo, Shakespeare and Mozart.
Christianity is moribund in the European West. It is, however, robustly alive in the East and in the global South, as religion scholar Philip Jenkins noted in his 2002 book, "The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity." And it is the Southern Hemisphere — Argentina — from which Francis has sprung.
Francis is the first pope of the Next Christendom. At the moment, it's not exactly a prosperous Christendom. It is, however, a Christendom that can turn out 3 million people to sleep in their cheap jeans and sweatshirts as they wait for Francis to say Mass on Copacabana beach. These are people for whom gay marriage is a First World problem, and for whom abortion is a desperate measure born of shredded family life and crushing poverty, rather than a "my body, my choice" political cause.
Francis was speaking to those people and for those people in his interview when he said that the church had to be more like a "field hospital after battle." He was reminding us that nobody is worthless, and that even in these degraded times, Christianity offers hope for all — and, most important, forgiveness.

Frozen and Fearless: A Tribute to Extreme Skiing
Many athletes will tell you they'd give their lives for their sport. But not many of them actually put that statement to the test every time they compete. Extreme skiers are the exception. They deal with dangerous terrain at ridiculous altitudes and top speeds. For most of us an exciting ski trip involves a hot tub and hot chocolate in the lodge. The most hard-core skier isn't satisfied unless they're dodging an avalanche. We get goose bumps just looking at the pictures of these brave athletes. The following gallery is a tribute to those who take their sport to extremes that most people would never dare.

I am in St Francis Wood neighborhood on the other side of twin peaks just 2.5 blocks from the West Portal MUNI metro station. The key controlled courts are at the back of Terrace Park parallel to the 100 block of Santa Clara Avenue.
Coming from SOMA you can reach it one of 2 ways by car. The quickest way by car would be to hop on 280 south which you can enter off 3rd or 6th street. Take 280 south toward Daly City and follow in right lane taking the Monterey Blvd exit. Just keep following that around and it curves and Monterey eventually turns into Santa Clara Avenue. Just past St Francis Blvd you will see Terrace Park on the right.
You can also drive up Market Street up over Twin Peaks which turns into Portola Ave. Keep following straight and go down and take left on Santa Clara Ave and turn left. The park is down 1.5 blocks on the left.

If asked where would you find the gambling capital of the world, even those not particularly well informed, would very likely opt for the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas. It is a natural conclusion to come to in a city that doesn't even allow a visit to the bathroom without being greeted by slots. The misconception however is that the Vegas gambling culture is just about Casinos; granted they are the the pull for the tourists, but there is plenty more betting opportunities which do not involve the 4 suits, or the roulette wheel.
I have for a long time been stricken by the bug which draws me towards any sort of sports betting and I have become hooked by what I call the Las Vegas odds syndrome. My problem is that although I have a grasp of the different sports, my understanding of Las Vegas odds betting systems does not share such comprehension. That is why I was thankful that I was introduced to the extremely informative site ScoresAndOdds.com. Their choices are far reaching, as you would expect from a scores and odds website, but it is the breadth of knowledge which they were able to convey, which left the biggest impression on me.
Las Vegas odds all appear to originate from the Las Vegas Sports Consultants (LVSC), a body which seem to dictate to all the bookmakers the way to which a contest should be swayed. I don't think they do anything particularly different to that which I, or any reasonably attuned gambler would do in all honesty; it is just that they employ and probably pay huge salaries to people to do it for them! We, like them, would factor in all sorts of key issues during our scrutiny and analysis. It may well be that I would reach a similar conclusion to Las Vegas odds, but following my visit to ScoresAndOdds.com and gaining a insight into how the odds were calculated, I was left scratching my head several times at their decisions.
Sure enough, injuries, potential weather conditions and previous meetings are very much taken into account, but equally important to me are the débutante players and old players returning to their former clubs, none of which the LVSC seem to consider. This would initially leave me believing I had to change my line of thought, but a further look at ScoresAndOdds.com and their 'How To' section, convinced me to back against the LVSC spread and stick to my initial strategy.
The Las Vegas odds cover so many sporting events it is a gamblers paradise. My chosen sport is soccer, but I have to say I have had a dabble at most of the others over a period of time, as temptation proved too great. I have a loyalty to both New York City and Chicago, so had a special interest in the teams from those cities, and studied ScoresAndOdds.com to reach a decision on which teams to follow.
In the NFL it came down to a straight choice between the NY Jets and the NY Giants, it was fascinating reading the website's betting trends. When it came to MLB the Las Vegas odds seemed to suggest that the stronger sides were the Chicago pair - the Cubs and the White Sox, but again my liking was towards the New York teams – the Yankees and the Mets.
I was intrigued to find betting opportunities amongst the Las Vegas odds for hockey's NHL and the AFL of arena football. Neither sport had ever entered my thought processes before, due to their lack of coverage, but being the optimist I am, I had to have a little flutter – the fact that I won't be revisiting either, will probably confirm how I got on! I did have a little more success at NASCAR, a sport with a considerably higher percentage of betting options than I had imagined. I was particularly impressed with the Las Vegas odds on a match up bet on both drivers, which kept me interested right to the finishing line.
Two more rarely seen sports bets were for the spreads on college football and basketball; so rare in actual fact that they couldn't even temp me – but it is refreshing to see the chance is there, and no doubt it is only there because of popular demand.
One of the most popular sports on any site is horse racing and after studying the Las Vegas odds and comparing them with the information gleaned from ScoresAndOdds.com, I have continued to take an on-going interest and regularly can be found with my head buried in the form pages, trying to find justification for the Las Vegas odds at places such as: Belmont and Churchill Downs.
It surprised me to find that other odds were provided by places like Hilton, Mirage, Wynn's and Caesars only after the LVSC had released their odds. They also deviated very little, but I guess that is to be expected if they are reliant and subsequently acting on the same information.
My reason though to have a smug sense of self satisfaction was the sport of golf, for which I took advantage of the Las Vegas odds provided and used my knowledge of the greens, to pick out not necessarily the tournament winner, but find the daily leader with a little help from ScoresAndOdds.com. I might not be able to afford membership at the exclusive courses, but it certainly feels good when you find that small success.

kjf needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 132 designs submitted by 48 freelance designers.
Lost.ie is for people who have lost something, where they can post a classified listing about what they've lost and people who find things can similarly list items.
Anyone who has lost or found anything.
I prefer lower case type than upper case, but open to suggestions. Logo is definitely not to be "cutesie" or cliché'; after a fresh modern approach as this is the approach of lost.ie; having said that, it needs to be welcoming and appeal to all users!
Some ideas I had to get people started:
* A frayed lost luggage tag with the name of the site on there.
* A box full of odds and ends you would expect to find at a lost and found office.
* A missing poster on a lamppost or carton of milk.
If you have a better idea then run with it!!!
Once more thing. I would like it so that if you had never seen the website before but saw the logo then you would be able to realise to some extent what the sites function was.

Rokita Leads National Delegation to Taiwanese Presidential Inauguration
Contact: Jim Gavin
(Indianapolis) May 22, 2008 - Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita returned today from leading a delegation of fellow secretaries of state to the Taiwanese Presidential Inauguration of Ma Ying-jeou in Taipei this week.
Leading the delegation of his peers was among Secretary Rokita's latest duties as president for the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS). Prior to the election, the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution praising Taiwan's democracy and urged other countries to dispatch delegations to witness the election.
It is important that we recognize and applaud the smooth transition of power to the new president in Taiwan, said Rokita.
As a cornerstone of freedom in Asia, Taiwan is successfully demonstrating that democracy works. I was honored to represent not only NASS and chief state elections officials across the nation, but also 6.2 million Hoosiers to our friends in Taiwan.
Indiana has a very strong cultural and economic relationship with Taiwan. In 1979, Indiana established a sister-state relationship with Taiwan Province. In addition, there are numerous sister-city relationships between Taiwanese and Hoosier cities. The City of Taipei, where the presidential inauguration took place, has been a sister-city of Indianapolis since 1978.
Also while in Taiwan, Secretary Rokita met with representatives from Indiana-based Eli Lilly & Co. Earlier this year, the Secretary was invited to speak at Indiana's first-ever leadership for international education summit, which was co-sponsored by the Indiana Department of Education, Longview Foundation and Eli Lilly. The Summit raised awareness among stakeholders of the need to connect Indiana's international education and economic development goals in an effort to position Indiana as a leader in producing a globally aware and economically competitive workforce.
In 2004, Secretary Rokita was instrumental in organizing the first international teacher exchange between Indiana and Taiwan. A delegation of Indiana school leaders, including the state's director of international education, was hosted by the Taiwan Ministry of Education for the 2008 American Superintendents/Educators' Project on Chinese Language Teacher Recruitment and Sister School Partnerships. Three Indiana school districts will host visiting teachers from Taiwan for the 2008 - 2009 school year to teach Chinese language and culture.
Thanks to this ongoing framework for international exchange, Indiana students and school communities are benefiting from the teaching of Mandarin Chinese language and culture, said Dr. Suellen Reed, Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction, who led the creation of a mutually beneficial exchange of teachers and school leaders and school to school partnerships between Indiana and Taiwan.
Enrollment in Chinese language classes has increased 334% in the last two years, and Indiana is the first state to adopt grade-level standards specific to Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages for all grades K-12.
Secretary Rokita's trip to Taiwan was paid for by the Republic of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Workshop helps with unexpected obstacles
A workshop to help community members handle life's unexpected obstacles will soon be held in Wapakoneta.
The Community Health Professionals Tri-County and Schlosser Funeral Home are co-hosting a workshop "Leaving a Love Legacy," which will present practical tips for organizing important documents that are needed in the event of an emergency or sudden death of a spouse or significant other.
This workshop will be presented by Beth Boehr, a financial counselor, who lives in Bluffton and speaks from personal experience after her husband died suddenly in 2001. She said she was forced to make a number of decisions about issues which the couple had never discussed, on top of the sudden death of her husband.
"Life teaches us to expect the unexpected," Boehr said. "By the end of the seminar, participants should have a greater understanding of how to prepare for the future and gain peace of mind for themselves and their families."
Boehr's life experiences after her husband died led her to begin a business called, "Beyond Budgeting" and develop "Love Legacy" workshops that guide people in putting all their important financial and legal information in one place.
This free workshop is scheduled to be held at 6:30 p.m. on April 24 at Community Health Professionals, 803 Brewfield Drive.
Community Health Professionals Tri-County Marketing Coordinator Niki Duvall said this is the first time this program will be held at their Wapakoneta office.
"There are so many answers you have to give when grieving," DuVall said. "This is a way for us to remind the community that we're here as a resource."
With dealing with home care and hospice, DuVall said she and her colleagues see these types of situations often, and she wants people to be prepared for unexpected life events.
DuVall said this workshop is to get people thinking about "What would I do if something like this happened to me or loved ones."

Todd Starnes, Fox News' halfwit attack dog, asks the question, "Why Won't Obama Call for Iran to Release American Pastor?" It must be because they're anti-Christian, of course, because that's the persecution narrative the religious right is always pushing.
The wife of an American pastor held captive in an Iranian prison for nearly a year said the Obama Administration has not done anything to help free her husband – and the law firm representing the family believes it's because the pastor is a Christian who converted from Islam.
That law firm, by the way, is the American Center for Law and Justice, which routinely lies about those they consider their opponents. And now, a message from…Fox News itself just a few weeks ago:
Although the U.S. does not have diplomatic relations with Iran, National Security Council spokesperson Bernadette Meehan said in a statement Sunday the administration is "deeply disappointed that Saeed Abedini has been sentenced to eight years in prison in Iran on a charge related to his religious beliefs.
"We condemn Iran's continued violation of the universal right of freedom of religion and we call on the Iranian authorities to release Mr. Abedini."
Meehan added that the State Department remains in close contact with Abedini.
The State Department also called for Abedini's release.
You mean the reality is exactly the opposite of what Starnes and the ACLJ pretends that it is? How entirely unsurprising.

How To Become A Sound Engineer in California
In order to qualify for Recording Technology jobs in California, you should compare all available technical schools in your target area, as well as consider taking some of your sound engineering courses online. Check with each engineering school below for assistance with certificate program requirements, degree prerequisites, and class registration. You may request information from several different schools below, without making a commitment.
To prepare for Recording Technology careers in California, you need to complete a technical education in your specialty area, as well as consider taking part of your required courses online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? As the entrance requirements for engineering programs vary, learn about the various specialization options available. Check with the sound engineering department for course registration deadlines, and engineering program requirements.
Broadcast and sound engineering technicians set up, operate, and maintain the electrical equipment for radio programs, television broadcasts, concerts, sound recordings, and movies. Audio and video equipment technicians, by comparison, work with microphones, speakers, video screens, projectors, video monitors, and recording equipment. Audio and video equipment technicians also may set up and operate custom lighting systems.
Broadcast engineers set up and maintain equipment that regulates the signal strength, clarity, and ranges of sounds and colors for radio or television broadcasts. They operate transmitters, either in studios or on location in the field, to broadcast radio or television programs. Broadcast technicians also use computer programs to edit audio and video recordings. Audio engineers, on the other hand, may be called in to operate computer-controlled synthesizers and digital recording boards to synchronize, or mix vocals, or sound effects. Beyond major requirements within the sound engineering department, you may consider Los Angeles Southwest College statistics courses online as a complementary elective.

Wikipedia and Panoramio Now in API
Google Maps developers can now add Wikipedia and Panoramio layers to their Google Maps mash-ups. Both of the layers display icons on top of a Google Map which when opened either open a Wikipedia article or a photo from Panoramio. If you have used Google Maps recently you will have seen this in action under the 'more' button.
You can add either layer to a map with Layer object which you can read more about in the documentation.
As an example of both layers in action I have added the Wikipedia and Panoramio layers to this Video Map of the World.

Parenting has been, like much of my life, about looking ahead to the future. I am a planner and a preparer: taking prenatal vitamins months before trying to get pregnant; eating a well-balanced pregnancy diet in the hopes of the healthiest possible baby; breastfeeding; reading to my sons nightly—both for their enjoyment now and with the hope of instilling a love of books as they grow older. We are a two-parent family, both of us working full-time outside the home with hour-long commutes, running on color-coded Google calendars and ever-expanding to-do lists, and at this point in our lives, with two boys ages 2 and 4, it feels like we are rarely able to stop and live in the moment with them, so busy are we looking ahead and preparing for what's next. And yet. A recent essay in the New York Times stopped me in my tracks: Emily Rapp wrote "Notes from a Dragon Mom" about parenting her son Ronan, her delicious 18-month-old son who, born with Tay-Sachs, a rare genetic disorder, will likely die before his third birthday.
I warn you, Rapp's essay about being a dragon mom (which is, as she puts it, "fierce and loyal and loving as hell") is painful to read—literally heartbreaking to anyone, let alone a parent. She describes how, despite all of her planning (including two prenatal tests for Tay-Sachs that both came back negative), she is now parenting a child "for whom there is no future." And of course, for so many of us, parenting is overwhelmingly about the future—about making the best choices for them down the road, choosing the right schools and activities, helping them become a happy, grown-up version of the little people they are now.
Writes Rapp, "But I have abandoned the future, and with it any visions of Ronan's scoring a perfect SAT or sprinting across a stage with a Harvard diploma in his hand. We're not waiting for Ronan to make us proud. We don't expect future returns on our investment. We've chucked the graphs of developmental milestones and we avoid parenting magazines at the pediatrician's office. Ronan has given us a terrible freedom from expectations, a magical world where there are no goals, no prizes to win, no outcomes to monitor, discuss, compare."
Some of what Rapp describes sounds, as she puts it, almost "blissful": cuddling, naps, TV time, all the desserts Ronan wants. "We are a very permissive household. We do our best for our kid, feed him fresh food, brush his teeth, make sure he's clean and warm and well rested and ... healthy? Well, no. The only task here is to love, and we tell him we love him, not caring that he doesn't understand the words. We encourage him to do what he can, though unlike us he is without ego or ambition."
But of course, Rapp would trade the sweet joy of those moments for a chance at something better for Ronan. "I would walk through a tunnel of fire if it would save my son. I would take my chances on a stripped battlefield with a sling and a rock à la David and Goliath if it would make a difference. But it won't. I can roar all I want about the unfairness of this ridiculous disease, but the facts remain. What I can do is protect my son from as much pain as possible, and then finally do the hardest thing of all, a thing most parents will thankfully never have to do: I will love him to the end of his life, and then I will let him go."
I cannot imagine letting my sons go. I have the good fortune to not have to do that yet. I know that that day will come—hopefully far off into the future, but I will be letting them go out on their own into the great big world beyond our family's home, hopefully off to college and marriage and bright futures of their own. But I will still be there for them, and they for me. Or so I hope.
Alas, that is not the case for Rapp. She concludes, "This is a love story, and like all great love stories, it is a story of loss. Parenting, I've come to understand, is about loving my child today. Now. In fact, for any parent, anywhere, that's all there is." And so I sit here with tears in my eyes and think, "Thank God I can close this screen. I can shut out her words. I don't have to think about losing my sons." And yet. None of us can ever know for certain what the future holds, and as much as I want to stick my fingers in my ears and cover my eyes at even the slightest glimpse of what life is like to parent a child you know you are going to lose, I am thankful to Rapp for reminding me of what I have right in front of me: my two incredible boys, so silly and smart and wild and unruly and loud and messy… and mine to enjoy, right now.

Baron Davis Scores Big with Jenny Craig
Baron Davis joins Jenny Craig to get into game shape and lead a nation to better health
September 29, 2008 // Franchising.com // Carlsbad , Calif. - Jenny Craig Inc., one of the nation's leading authorities on weight management, announced today that pro-basketball star Baron Davis is the company's newest "star" client. The two-time All-Star point guard is the latest celebrity to join the ranks of Jenny Craig weight loss success stories Queen Latifah and Valerie Bertinelli.

After losing 19 pounds on Jenny Craig's at-home program, Jenny Direct®, Davis plans to educate sports fans about the positive health benefits of losing weight.
"I wanted to live in a better body and switch up my normal training regimen by incorporating a new nutrition program.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The spade-toothed beaked whale may be the world's rarest whale. It was initially described in 1872 from a skull collected in the Chatham Islands, New Zealand. Other skull fragments were found on White Island, New Zealand in the 1950's and on Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile in 1986. No live animals had been observed. In December 2010, two whales presumed to be a mother and calf stranded and then died on Opape Beach, near to the White Island locality. Officials originally identified them as Gray's beaked whales, the most common beaked whale to strand in this area. Scientists took samples and photographs, then buried the bodies on the beach. To everyone's surprise, DNA testing from those samples indicated that these were instead the elusive spade-toothed beaked whale. Scientists have used the photographs to describe this whale's appearance for the first time. They have also recovered most of the skeletal remains for further analysis. (Thompson et al. 2012).

Fate dictated that the helmet finds his way to Dr. Kent V. Nelson, a distant relative of the original Dr. Fate. Kent Nelson is a good man that is in a truly low and bad moment of his life. Far are the days when he was a top psychiatrist, good father and husband with a nice house and a great life.
Dr. Fate Countdown to Mystery was supposed to mark the start of a new era in the Dr. Fate legacy. This story sees Kent Nelson coming to terms with his personal fate and the beginning of the journey to rebuild his life.
When Fate's helmet return to earth we find the good Dr. Kent V. Nelson in session of "Rumble Bums", this is, fighting another bum for money. He looses and gets scammed out of his share by his friend, who coincidentally was the other bum on the "Rumble Bums" fight. This leaves him passed out on a dumpster in the rain.
Soon after he wakes up with the helmet by his side and puts it on for the first time. This puts him, and the reader, in a fast but enlightening journey through the recent history of the helmet. In doing this Steve Gerber ensures that this book is accessible for everyone, even for one that has never read a Dr. Fate story.
Kent has the misfortune to go against the Demon Negal in his first time wearing the helmet. Its only with beginners luck that Kent manages to defeat Negal, but its only temporarily. All of this turns out to be too much for the, already frail, Kent Nelson to handle and he drifts back into the bottle.
That leads to a series of events that bring together Kent and Inza (a throwback at the original Dr. Fate's wife). Inza is a struggling comic book creator (wink wink) and proud creator of the KillHead comics. She then takes on the unwilling role of the damsel in distress, and the rest is history.
|The Helmet Whispers the Spells
|Strange but familiar
Sadly Steve Gerber passed away and he didn't had the chance to end this book. DC Comics called on Gail Simone, Adam Beechen, Mark Evanier and Mark Waid to write an ending to the truly great story Steve Gerber started. As a result there are 4 possible endings to this story. Its a shame there isn't a cannon ending to this story, but this doesn't mean Countdown to Mystery isn't worth your time, because it is, very much so. The lack of a definitive ending only downgrades this book from stellar to fantastic.
The art is gorgeous. The expressiveness of the faces is great. You can almost taste Kent's misery in (almost) every shot. Justiniano and Walden Wong really bring Dr. Fate's costume to life. It is very simple, a full body blue suite and the usual yellow gloves, belt, amulet, helmet and cape, but its very powerful to see. When Dr. Fate appears he's both gracious and imposing.
The contrast between Kent's world, Negal's dimension and KillHead's story is fantastic. These are three very different aspects of Countdown to Mystery that are characterized with subtle but powerful differences in the art style that represents each one.
Also worth mentioning is that the page composition is amazing The panel layouts are unique for every page, creating great reading dynamic. I love the panel overlapping they used regularly.
|Newbie Fate gets beaten
Dr. Fate Countdown to Mystery, even if unfinished, is a must read for any Dr. Fate or magic themed stories fan. I'm both so I love this one, so much so that I've read it more than a couple of times since I got it.
My preferences apart, be it for the fantastic art or the compelling story this book is worth your attention.

Australia captain Michael Clarke dismissed West Indies stalwart Shivnarine Chanderpaul with the last ball of the day to put his team in sight of victory in the third and final Test.
Clarke trapped Chanderpaul lbw after the 37-year-old, who had earlier become just the 10th player to make 10,000 Test runs, looked like surviving until Friday's final day.
But his dismissal left the home side teetering on 173 for five at stumps, chasing 370 to win and level the series.
It was Clarke's third wicket of the innings but, initially, umpire Tony Hill had turned down the appeal.
Clarke only had one review left and risked it in the hope of seeing the back of the West Indies anchorman who had faced 122 balls for his 69 - his 58th Test half-century.
Chanderpaul, playing in his 140th Test, had reached the 10,000-run landmark when he went to 14, taking his career Test average above 50 in the process.
"It felt really good to reach this milestone. I have been batting well and spending a lot of time at the crease and to reach 10,000 Test runs is something special for me," said Chanderpaul.
"It was one of the goals I set myself and I believe I have reaped the reward for the hard work I put in over the years."
Aussies eye win in third and final W.Indies Test
Australia captain Michael Clarke dismissed West Indies stalwart Shivnarine Chanderpaul with the last ball of the day to put his team in sight of victory in the third and final Test.
Chanderpaul and Darren Bravo had looked comfortable earlier in the session as they built up a 110-run partnership for the fourth wicket, taking their side from a precarious 45 for three to 155 for four.
Bravo had made a patient 45 off 148 balls when he played a loose back foot drive to a Shane Watson delivery and wicket-keeper Matthew Wade dived to his left to take a neat catch.
Australia coach Mickey Arthur described Chanderpaul as "outstanding".
"Shiv's been quite brilliant. He's certainly thwarted our bowlers. He's shown why he's got 10,000 runs in Test cricket," said Arthur.
"Very uncomplicated technique even though it looks very weird on the eye. To get him right at the end of the day has just lifted our dressing room hugely."
Bravo, too, hailed Chanderpaul as an example to other West Indies batsmen.
"Shiv is someone I enjoy batting with each and every time we have had a few partnerships, we tend to get pretty decent partnerships," said Bravo.
"When I'm batting with Shiv he's always there encouraging me and telling me to treat the ball on its merits and try to rotate the strike as much as possible."
West Indies had got off to a miserable start in their second innings.
Opener Adrian Barath had not got off the mark when he clipped a Ben Hilfenhaus delivery off his legs into the air and Ed Cowan dived to his right to take a fine catch in the third over.
Kraigg Brathwaite scored the only two runs on the board before the lunch interval, ending his run of three consecutive scoreless innings.
In the 16th over, Clarke brought himself on to bowl and he had immediate success.
Brathwaite, who had moved on to 14, missed a pull shot and umpire Hill gave the lbw decision.
It was a close call and when it was reviewed by the batsman the replays showed the ball just hitting the top of the bails.
The Australian captain struck again a few overs later. Another loose shot, this time from Kieran Powell, saw the ball go between bat and pad to take out leg stump.
Powell was out for 24 and West Indies were in real trouble at 45 for three when Chanderpaul came to the crease.
Australia, who have already retained the Frank Worrell Trophy after winning the first Test and drawing the second, started the day on 200 for six and were eventually all out for 259 shortly before lunch.
Off-spinner Shane Shillingford was the star performer for the West Indies as his four-wicket haul gave him 10 victims for the match at his home Windsor Park arena.
Shillingford became the first West Indian spinner to achieve 10 wickets in a Test since Lance Gibbs in 1966.

Folk Innovator Davey Graham Dies, Aged 68
Folk legend Davey Graham [also known as Day Graham] who was cited as a major influence on The Kinks, Jimmy Page, Nick Drake and Paul Simon, has died aged 68.
The guitarist was a hugely important artist in the '60s folk revival.
His manager announced that he died "from a massive seizure at home after a short battle with lung cancer", reports BBC News.
Radio 2's Mike Harding has named him as an inspiration for "Paul Simon, Bert Jansch and Nick Drake" and Ray Davies from The Kinks called him an "awesome influence", reports the site.
Graham's track 'Anji' was covered by for their 'Sounds Of Silence' album in 1966.
The spellbinding "She moved Thru' the Bizzare/BlueRaga" inspired Jimmy Page's "White Summer" and "Black Mountain Side".
Anyone interested in acoustic guitar will ceryainly benefit from listening to Graham's music. Graham was a virtuoso player and a stylistic pioneer, combining traditional folk pieces with jazz and eastern influences long before these things became fashionable and which were a million miles away from skiffle and the nascent folk scene. Listening to his early records now, after decades of copyists and the development of acoustic guitar playing, it can be difficult to appreciate just how revolutionary he was.
To the modern ear many of the arrangements are of their time and his strengths are as a player rather than a vocalist, but the reality strikes the minute that you try and play one of his arrangements.
From Paul Simon to Jimmy Page, many quote Davey Graham as seminal influence
In Tangiers in 1961 he came up with a seminal influence - the influential DADGAD tuning for guitar - to try and create a tuning he could use on both guitar and sarod. He used this guitar tuning on his first EP on a version of "She Moves Through the Fair". He returned to this tune frequently throughout the sixties and finally re-recorded it - on sarod! - on 1976's "All That Moody". This tuning is now ubiquitous amongst 'folk' guitarists.

The Brute Force AEM did have a little dent, couldn't see it once installed. It didn't come with the same BRUTE FORCE Decals as in the pictures. It did add power and along with the Air Raid Throttle body spacer it makes a big difference. That Air Raid Throttle space sounds almost like a belt squeal. Any more noise than it makes and I'd take it out. Over all it did what I wanted. Power, MPG and looks cool.

Russia said it would not accept any blame over former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden's efforts to evade prosecution in the United States, and rejected accusations by Washington as "groundless and unacceptable."
"He chose his itinerary on his own. We learnt about it ... from the media. He has not crossed the Russian border," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told a joint news conference with Algeria's foreign minister in Moscow.
"We consider the attempts to accuse the Russian side of violating U.S. laws, and practically of involvement in a plot, to be absolutely groundless and unacceptable."

Lavrov's comments were the first by a senior Russian official since Snowden arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport from Hong Kong on Sunday, starting a cat-and-mouse chase that has frayed ties between Washington and Beijing and threatened U.S.-Russian relations.
Washington has said it believes he is still in Moscow. He has not been seen by reporters at Sheremetyevo airport and is not known to have left the transit area.
An airport source confirmed to Reuters that Snowden had arrived from Hong Kong on Sunday afternoon. He said Snowden had been booked on a flight to Havana on Monday but had not gotten on board. He did not say where Snowden was now.
President Vladimir Putin has kept silent about Snowden since his arrival and his spokesman has said the former KGB spy has no information about his whereabouts.
