What Did Tuesday's Elections Mean for the Tea Party?
Tuesday night was not a good night for the Tea Party. Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate and Tea Partier, Ken Cuccinelli -- the guy who wanted to outlaw sodomy and make women have ultrasounds before terminating a pregnancy - lost. Cuccinelli lost moderate voters by 18 percent.
Joining him in ignominious defeat in Virginia was lieutenant governor candidate E.W. Jackson, who said, "It was God's plan to beget the Tea Party." (And here's Jackson on the end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell: "How in the world can we expect our military to be blessed by the hand of almighty God if we allow our military to become the equivalent of Sodom and Gomorrah? God is not pleased").
In Alabama, an angry Tea Partier wanna-be congressman -- so angry that even the major Tea Party groups stayed away from giving him campaign cash -- lost to an establishment-backed GOP candidate in a runoff. Moderate cum establishment Republican Chris Christie won in a landslide victory in blue New Jersey.
Does this mean the tea party is now small beer? No, just as much as the media overreacted in 2010 -- the Tea Party is the new force in American politics -- neither should we declare the imminent demise of the Tea Party from a number of off-year elections. The Tea Party caucus remains in both chambers of Congress and if the Republicans fail to do away with the Hastert Rule, it will continue to exercise outsize influence.
But Tuesday did tell us this: in off-year elections, only the most committed of voters vote. And the relevant races, especially the Alabama congressional runoff, show that the shutdown, the blistering rhetoric (e.g., "send Obama back to Kenya"), Ted Cruz's antics, and the overall commitment to ideological purity over the task of governing, has sent the message to voters, especially those who are paying the most attention, that the Tea Party's extremism is problematic if the government wants to solve problems. And this is a bit of salve for the soul of American politics.

Patchouli done right! This fragrance is right up my alley, as I love a dense, rich-but-not-over-the-top patchouli with sweet accords.
The patchouli is present from opening to dry-down. Not a 'dirty' patchouli, but voluptuous... sensual... warm...
In the opening it deliciously melts together with the citrus notes. Not before long, another sweet note joins in lending a gourmand touch to the blend. My nose tells me it's pralines and it brings to mind these in-chocolate-covered-orange-segments, delicious!
When the citrus notes tone down, the rose reveals it's, sensual, velvety soft petals, which play around with sweet, delicate praline notes and patchouli.
Moderate to long lasting with moderate to soft sillage.
I received a vial of this today and I have to say I knew nothing of this house, But now I do!! Oh boy! The citrus mingled with Patchouli is so dang good. But the best part is the sweetness it's like a very nice candied rose... And the sandalwood is present but not too much. It kind of reminds me of Montale roses elixir but not as sticky in the sweetness. Beautiful but FB worthy? No, but absolutely decant worthy...

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Klay Thompson had 20 points, including the go- ahead 3-pointer with 7.5 seconds left to lift the Golden State Warriors to an 87-83 win over the Sacramento Kings.
On the go-ahead bucket, the Kings double-teamed Stephen Curry beyond the left wing. He passed the ball to the high post for David Lee, who quickly swung it to a wide-open Thompson in the right corner and he nailed the jumper to give Golden State an 85-83 edge.
"It was a drag screen for Steph (Curry), (David) Lee was doing the pin down for me, he played the part well and he popped, then he found me right in the shooting pocket. All I had to do was catch and shoot," Thompson said.
Tyreke Evans drove down the lane on Thompson at the other end, but his layup attempt off the glass was too strong and Draymond Green sunk two free throws to seal the outcome for Golden State.
Lee finished with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Curry was limited to 13 points, but dished out eight helpers for the Warriors, who have own two straight on the heels of a four-game skid.
Jason Thompson tallied 17 points and eight boards to lead Sacramento, which has dropped nine of its last 11 tilts.
"It was a big feather in our cap the way our group performed tonight," Kings head coach Keith Smart said.
The Warriors led 28-21 after a quarter of play, but Sacramento outscored them 23-13 in the second to take a 44-41 cushion into the break.
Isaiah Thomas' layup knotted the contest at 56-56 with less than four minutes to go in the third before the Warriors countered with a 9-0 spurt that propelled them to a 69-63 cushion heading into the final frame.
Curry's pull-up triple with 2:59 to go gave the hosts a four-point lead, but Sacramento answered as Thompson nailed a jumper and Patrick Patterson sunk a right corner trey for an 83-82 Kings edge with 1:25 left.
Patterson finished with 15 points and eight rebounds ... Harrison Barnes
totaled 14 points for Golden State ... The Warriors were 25-of-29 from the
foul line.
Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The regular season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has reached its midpoint, with 13 races completed and 13 to go before the championship Chase begins.
The Houston Texans have signed defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, who played last season with the New Orleans Saints.
The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Dioner Navarro from the 15-day disabled list following a 2-0 loss to the Washington Nationals in the opener of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team said.
The Montreal Canadiens revealed on Tuesday that defenseman Jeff Petry has agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension.

Go to bed with me??
by Wes McKane
posted Sep 9 2013 7:03AM
The National Sleep Foundation just released the results of a massive study on people's sleep habits. And if there's ONE thing that's reassuring, it's that you're not the only person who occasionally stinks up your bedroom.
Here are their findings on sleep in the U.S. . . .
The average American sleeps six hours and 31 minutes . . . but functions best after at least seven hours and 13 minutes of sleep.
Only 44% of us get a good night's sleep every night.
The average person uses TWO pillows. But 14% of people sleep with four or more.
66% of people make their bed every day or ALMOST every day.
61% of people need to AIR OUT their bedroom at least once a week.
31% of us take one or two naps a week, 15% take three to five naps, 5% take six to 10 naps, and 1% of people take MORE than 10 naps a week. 49% of people take no naps. And the average nap lasts 45 minutes.
21% of us sleep with our pets in the bed . . . that's higher than any other country in the world.
55% of us sleep barefoot and 12% sleep naked.

The major product of the XLR (X-chromosomal, lymphocyte-regulated) locus is found to be a 30-kD nuclear protein with a relatively short (t1/2 approximately equal to 2 h) half-life. Together with its stage- and tissue-specific pattern of expression, this suggests a role for this protein in the regulation of differentiation in T and B lymphocytes. Interestingly, the XLR protein almost completely leaches out of the nucleus after lysis of cells in low salt buffer, but is stabilized in that location by metal cations, particularly Zn++. This stabilization is reversible by chelating agents (o-phenanthroline, EDTA) which also release a number of other polypeptides in addition to XLR. These results suggest that XLR represents a novel class of nuclear proteins, and that cations such as zinc may play a role in the localization of these proteins in the nucleus.

The fit turned out well, despite my devil-may-care approach to it. I only checked my sloper against the pattern before starting to make sure it'd be big enough and the length would work for my shorty torso. The dart placement even ended up being in the right place! I did noticed a little gaping at the bust, although it feels like I've got enough room there. Might be button placement, though.
I made one change on the fly - the dress is intended to be a loosely fitted shirtdress, but I found it to be a little too loose. I ended up taking out 2.5" of ease at the back bodice only, at the side seams. I've still got plenty of ease left over. I did notice some pooling at my back in these photos, so I'm wondering if I might also need a small swayback adjustment. Or perhaps taking the ease out at the side seam only, instead of evenly distributed across the back waist, created a problem? What do you think?
Minus that minor hiccup, there's lots of great little details in the construction of the Alder that you can see when you get up close.
Oh, so cute!
I do have three tips for you if you're going to make this pattern:
- Take care to cut the right front off where indicated on the pattern. I forgot to do this when cutting out the pattern, and it doesn't come up again in the instructions when you do the button band. Consequently, I puzzled over the extra couple of inches on my right front for a few days before I got unstuck.
- Baste the two yokes at the armhole before you attach the bias binding. This is the instructions, but I believe it is referred to as basting the "shoulder edges" (step 7B). I missed this step and consequently didn't catch a layer in some spots. It wouldn't have been a problem if I'd have noticed right away, but I clipped and discovered it until I went to understitch.
- Follow the sew along on the Grainline Studio blog. I found the button bands and the corner where you attach the gathered skirt front to be challenging just following the instructions.
Happy sewing!

Rep: Christina Aguilera's Leaked Seminude Pics Were Personal
After a series of sexy shots featuring Christina Aguilera hit the Internet on Wednesday, the singer's rep tells UsMagazine.com that the racy pics were never meant to be seen by the public.
"The photos of Christina Aguilera being leaked to the press were illegally obtained by a hacker who tapped into Christina's personal stylist's account," Aguilera's rep tells Us. "The photos were taken in the privacy of Ms. Aguilera's home and were used only in a personal exchange between the star and her stylist."
The pictures, which feature the 29-year-old singer posing in several skin-revealing ensembles, were reportedly taken before Aguilera announced her split from husband Jordan Bratman.
"We find the actions of the hackers and the press who purchased and/or obtained these photos to be irresponsible and actionable," the rep continues. "We are attempting to determine the identity of the hackers and will pursue them aggressively. Their conduct is reprehensible."

Trinidad & Tobago
In-depth country-focused analysis on Trinidad & Tobago's economic, political and operational risk environment, complemented by detailed sector insight
In-depth country-focused analysis on Trinidad & Tobago's economic, political and operational risk environment, complemented by detailed sector insight
Our comprehensive assessment of Trinidad & Tobago's operating environment and the outlook for its leading sectors are formed by bringing together a wealth of data on global markets that affect Trinidad & Tobago, as well as the latest industry developments that could impact Trinidad & Tobago's industries. This unique integrated approach has given us an impeccable track-record for predicting important shifts in the markets, ensuring you're aware of the latest market opportunities and risks in Trinidad & Tobago before your competitors.
Core Views:
Structurally lower crude oil prices will stymie activity in Trinidad & Tobago's energy sector over the coming years, driving a slowdown in headline growth. Moreover, tepid consumer confidence and a pull-back in government spending on infrastructure projects indicate that growth in non-energy sectors of the economy will also struggle.
Trinidad & Tobago's 2015 general election will be narrowly contested, as a notable increase in homicides depresses support for the ruling coalition. We expect this issue will ultimately drive the opposition People's National Party into power.
Trinidad & Tobago's nominal budget shortfall will widen in 2015, as lower oil prices drive down energy sector revenues. The Trinidadian government will reduce expenditures, but not enough to stem fiscal deterioration...
BMI View: We are turning more positive regarding economic growth in the Caribbean, as structural and financial reforms take hold in the region, tourism numbers are picking up and growth is stronger in key western states such as the US. The large decline in the price of oil over the last nine months will boost the region's consumer spending, as the Caribbean is a large net oil importer. Inflation will remain low which will help food consumption growth over the coming years. That said, many regional economies continue to be heavily indebted which limits general investment. We believe that general food consumption growth will be strongest in Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. In the Dominican Republic's case, food consumption is coming off of a very low base. Ongoing recession in Puerto Rico, one of the region'...
BMI View: Apparent slow growth in the region during 2015 is generally the result of continued USD strength, rather than structural weaknesses in the insurance sector. While offshore business, principally in Barbados and the Cayman Islands, may steal the headlines, domestic business is typically under-developed in both life and non-life lines. International players barely feature in the region, deterred by small market sizes and the strength of leading regional players who control large portions of most markets.
The insurance markets of the Caribbean, particularly offshore business but also domestic sectors, are heavily tied to the economic fortunes of the United States and Canada. The ongoing recovery in both of these should boost the fortunes of the region's insurers, driving demand for offshore reinsurance and captives, as well as boosting domestic economies. On the whole, regulation...
BMI View: Confirmation that authorities plan a new upstream bidding round by early 2016 reinforces the positive outlook for upstream investment, which could reverse the current downward trend forecast for both oil and gas. Persistent shortages of natural gas will continue to weigh on the sector and industry, though new supplies from the latter half will improve but not necessarily eliminate the shortfall.
BMI View: Our expectation for major changes in the Caribbean has already begun to play out, with the news that CWC will need to sell its 49% stake in operator Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT). This means the market is looking at a significant shake-up, one of many that will take place in the region.

BMI View: The ongoing economic uptick in the US will translate into rising departures to the Caribbean in 2015, with St Lucia, St Eustatius, the Cayman Islands and Cuba set to perform particularly well. We see particular opportunities in Cuba, with the US-Cuba diplomatic rapprochement boosting prospects for a relaxation of the bilateral tourist regime.
We forecast mixed fortunes for the Caribbean in 2015, with most islands seeing growth in tourist arrivals but a few registering declines. The latter include Barbados (0.6%), Bonaire (6.1%), the Dominican Republic (1.5%) and St Vincent (1.6%). We believe that these declines reflect the drop of 1.2% in arrivals from Europe in 2015, with these economies usually registering strong arrivals from Europe. However, overall the Caribbean will see a net increase in tourist arrivals in 2015, as improving consumer confidence in the US leads more US tourists to visit the region,...

Tracing the legend of St. Valentine goes back to ancient Rome
EVERY February 14, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate St. Valentines Day?
The first legend, and perhaps the best known, began in Rome, when the Emperor, Claudius II, was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. 'Claudius the Cruel', as he was called, was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues.
He believed the reason was that Roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. So, he cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome.
The good St. Valentine, who was a priest in Rome in the year 269 A.D., together with his friend St. Marius, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret....

Celebrating holidays is a great and easy way to have fun as a family. Our family celebrates some holidays more than others, but with the kids, we've found that even a minor celebration can open the door to learning about traditions, history, and culture. Growing up, the Fourth of July was not a major holiday in neither mine nor my husband's household, but it's gained more recognition now that we have our own children. Learning about the United States' Independence Day and its historical value is definitely something worth celebrating. We don't go all out, but spending time together as a family and simply acknowledging the holiday can be enough. Check out a few simple ideas for family-friendly, fun, and safe ways to celebrate this year's Fourth of July!

viburnum opulus roseum and thuya occidentalis - pro or con for near foundation?
I have planted a viburnum opulus roseum about 3 feet away from my foundation and a thuya occidentalis (globe cedar) about 2 feet from said foundation. Do these make good foundation plants or will they get too deeply rooted and cause damage to the house? What is advisable in terms of space between these shrubs and the foundation?
Neither Viburnum nor Thuja have particularly invasive roots, so they are fine for planting near a foundation. It is advisable to give them enough space to reach their full size without having the branches rub against the house, however. The viburnum can reach a spread of 12 to 14 feet, so it should be planted about half that distance from the house. Thuja occidentalis has many cultivars, so it depends on which one you have as to how large it will grow.

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert hit the red carpet amid cheating rumors

Miranda Lambert is standing by her man -- literally. Despite a slew of recent tabloid articles claiming that Blake Shelton had cheated on her with aspiring musician Cady Groves, the tough-as-nails "Gunpowder & Lead" singer joined her husband at "The Voice" Season 4 premiere party in Hollywood on Wednesday night.
"They posed together on the carpet for a few pictures with their arms around each other," an attendee tells Us Weekly of the country superstars, who tied the knot in May 2011. "Then Miranda went straight in as Blake began his interviews."
PHOTOS: How Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert fell in love
Shelton, 36, laughed off the infidelity rumors three days earlier via Twitter. "Hey, Miranda ... I just read in a tabloid that our marriage is falling apart," he wrote. "Fock!" An amused Lambert, 29, replied, "Oh no! Can't wait to read if we make it or not."
PHOTOS: Miranda Lambert's best red-carpet moments
The couple, who also slammed pregnancy rumors in November 2012, have learned to tune out the negativity and focus on what makes each other happy. "We accept and understand each other. Miranda would never want to tame me into being somebody I'm not, and I would never try to do that to her," Shelton told Redbook last year. "I think a lot of it has to do with feeling settled and lucky to have ended up with the person I really wanted to be with. To me, that's being tamed in the best possible way."
PHOTOS: Miranda Lambert shows Us Weekly what's in her bag
The "Sure Be Cool If You Did" singer vowed to always stick up for Lambert when she's faced with scrutiny. "I'm never going to listen to someone trash my wife," Shelton told the magazine. "I think you have to be willing to take a bullet for somebody if you're going to stand up there, take your vows and be married to them for the rest of your life."

ASIA/IRAQ - Concrete proposals to preserve the demographic balance in the Christian -majority areas
Erbil (Agenzia Fides) - The first conference sponsored by the "Friends of Bartala" organization to denounce the tampering of the demographic balance in areas where historically indigenous Christian communities in Iraq were concentrated (Erbil, 23-24 November) was concluded with the proposal of a package of concrete demands to address this emergency. In particular, the organization calls for the creation of a Joint Committee which brings together representatives of the Federal Government, of the regional in Kurdistan and local authorities in the province of Nineveh to develop and implement legal and administrative measures designed to encourage the return of native Christian families who left the region, to protect the Christians in the area of Mosul - still exposed to bullying and targeted violence.
It is also asked to fight the creeping forms of discrimination that penalize Christians at a recruitment level in public bodies. The Association "Friends of Bartala" was established in April 2013, with the intent to develop and propose analysis and initiatives to document and combat the long-term processes intended to change the demographic balance in areas traditionally inhabited by Christian communities, known as the Nineveh Plain. In the two-day conference held in Erbil, we provided statistical data on the processes of alteration of the demographic balance which in recent times have seen the percentage of Christians in cities such as Tall Afar and Bartala significantly reduced.

Writer: Sir Nigel Of Ashford
Date:Thursday December 17 2009
Time: 11:37AM
It'll surprise some of you but I have a friend. That friend is a Villa legend in my eyes, I've mentioned him time and time again for his endless treks (23 years worth) to Old Trafford which was until last weekend the only ground he'd not seen us win on, his last hoodoo, so here from the horses mouth, Nigel Ashford in the pursuit of the Holy Grail... well, sort of!
1) So, when did you first start supporting Villa and why?
From four years old in 74, first memory throwing my villa womble in the air after a goal and it flying down a couple of rows in the old trinity and being passed back. Football memories don't start til about 76 or 77. From 77-79 I went pretty much every game as my father was unofficial club jeweler and became friends with some of the players. This meant Players lounge after the games, for a 7 year old it doesn't get much better than that.
I remember really enjoying that side between 77-79 hammering Liverpool and Arsenal although some things that stick in the mind are being bitten by a police Alsatian, being told about United's red army and fully expecting an army to arrive and as a result being petrified and being in the back of Frank Carrodus' hire car when he pranged it into a cliff on holiday in Majorca – great times. Why? Grandfather and father born and bred in Aston although I'm a Sutton boy I'm third generation and had no choice. Now I live in London it's a touchstone to where I came from.
2) Been through he good times and bad times, what is the best memory and what is the worst?
Best – vicariously Rotterdam, in person Cup Final against united 94, Promotion at Swindon, Boro home 81
Worst, all the key games that we bottled and the fans started scuffling amongst themselves, Oxford away 85, Tranmere away, Bolton away cup and Blackburn away when going for the league. I didn't speak for over 24hours after. Also the games I feared for my days, West Ham pre-hillsborough and all trips to the Blose.
3) So you've been to pretty much every ground to see Villa player, favourite and least favourite? (As we are about to move on to Man Utd, you can't pick them here!)
Back in the day Man city in the old Platt lane with benches was a brilliant place to go and villa always took thousands, Everton as per May 90 and Graham Taylor also was great.
Worst Oxford was a tip, Barnsley was bleak but St Andrews is by far my least favourite. Never felt safe and quite angry what we have to put up with going there. Don't go anymore.
4) OK, the major point for this interview is your record of seeing Villa win on every ground they have played apart from Old Trafford - until Saturday. So that was 23 years
a) how did it feel yesterday?!
Odd, after all these years I truthfully think it was one of the few times we went in good form and with a settled first choice 11. The fact that United were weakened crystallised it. Other than when we were going for the league and took the lead with Staunton, we always had something going against us. We never for example were in our prime when we went during the golden 94-6 period or went when Angel Yorke or Savo was flying.
After last year, where we played better and United were worst I didn't murmur a word as the time ticked by I saw a few people thrown out for smoking in the toilets at halftime and I thought how tough because they were going to miss the win. It was then I realised I had an inner calm and belief . I had a tear in my eye at the end and the fact I had some good friends with me to share it with was special. Afterwards my phone blew up with so many people wishing me well which was touching. Problem was I had to run to get the train and stood with no refreshments all the way back to Euston with the Cockney reds – not ideal! Made up for it when I got back to Highbury though
b) what was the worst (you can name a few if you want) trips to Old Trafford
Just the games where we turned up beaten before we took the pitch there's so many they merge into one. There have been some spankings but generally the whole feel about the place the whole theatre of dreams nonsense means it ain't no place to lose believe me, you get a belly full of it. Last year was very VERY tough to take though I had to stand in the toilets for ten minutes at a time to get away from it and when we were going for the league and robins killed of the title dream
c) what lengths have you gone to get to the games
Always the first thing I do when the fixtures come out is check when is united away, it rules my year calendar. Many years up and down the M6 including a postponement, then in the middle of my finals from Surrey, then Cape Town straight from the airport we were three down before halftime, and Sydney to Heathrow changing plane and flying to Manchester and just managing kick off, think at least we scored! Must mention the first game after promotion when we took more than Liverpool had and they had to open an extra section, 1-1 and coming out Villa fans up Matt Busby as far as the eye could see. Special
d) will you ever return to Old Trafford?
I've said always that as soon as it's done then that's me and old trafford going their separate ways. I'm looking forward to not having it rule my year. But a big cup game or Villa needing a win, I'll be there. There's nothing like singing loud and proud at Old Trafford 'And its Aston Villa.....'
5) MON... the messiah? Your thoughts
Randy and MON were the dream ticket and I'm still a subscriber. The five year plan I think we're bang on it. My take, first year complete experiment just try some things and find out about club/personnel. Second year try for Europe miss out, thirds year try for Europe get it and maybe a cup run, next year try for chps league miss it but get Europe, following year get chps league. With a league cup during that window I think that's the dream ticket. He dropped the ball with the UEFA last year, I think you under estimate Villa fans thirst for silverware at your peril. Open the programme read your honours no mention of finishing fourth.
6) Randy Lerner, just a little better than Doug I think? I'm presuming you don't miss the old protests?!?!?
I really believe in almost biblical terms we had to suffer to gain our salvation. As bigger ego Ellis had Lerner is the reverse. I actually mailed Pat Murphy when he was moaning about Lerner not speaking. It upsets the journos but after 30 years of Doug's deceptive horseshit I don't care, I really don't.
Everything the new regime does have a class about it that reflects our heritage, everything the old regime did stank of crass self serving cheapness. People used to say why do you care about decor of the Holte suite/trinity road stand facia etc, I did because it was done in the name of Aston Villa and thats something the old regime never got.
Some couldn't care less as long as the previous Saturday the team won for me I could never rest while the club was run like a corner shop and our great heritage was dragged through poundland. I'm proud of what we did but I don't miss it one bit. I remember someone screaming in my face as we marched to protest 'Support you club', I thought, I am more than you'll ever realise.
The day at the last Shareholders Association when news came through the 'Ellis regime was over'* was one of the happiest of my supporting life. We instantly folded VFC and I don't regret a second. I don't delude myself that we caused what happened but we did our bit and the club is now in safe hands.
With great thanks to Nigel Ashford for doing this and also putting up with me for 3 decades !
(JPF: *The night of the last Shareholders Meeting we had our votes and concluded business then Sir Dennis of Mortimer was talking and I - sharp intake of breath - interrupted him and read out the text I'd just received. 'Takoever agreed, Ellis era over, details to follow'. There were grown men in tears that night and then myself, Nigel, Carl Chinn, Buck Chinn, Erod and his daughter, David C and I'm sure a few others I've rudely forgotten all got a bottle of champagne and went to the Holte End for a good sing song and celebration. Nights like that really don't come along very often and will linger long in the memory)

As the world watched Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate take it down to the wire at the US Open, the Dow was struggling with its own rivalry: Banks were trying to lead a rally, while a handful of stocks were dragging on the blue-chip index. Oil ended down at $134.34 abarrel.

Cruising on the Goulburn
I type this from my bed of pain, having been soaked, battered, bruised, humiliated and sunburnt this morning (January 4), on a canoe journey on my favourite river, the mighty Goulburn River. Actually, it was fantastic.BILL HOWARD January 21, 2014 6:30am
Peter (my brother and Shepparton Adventure Club lad) insisted upon my coming because the challenge of canoeing from Trawool to Seymour was really playing on his mind.
As a veteran traveller of this beautiful river, I was the obvious choice to help him out (he is older and has difficulties with quite a few things).
We began at the Trawool bridge where I was introduced to SAC members and friends Richard, Maatje, Alfred, Dianne, Howard, Judith and Rachel (our capable leader).
Peter and I were awarded the green Canadian, which we promptly tipped over. Is this some sort of devious initiation, where the new chum is unceremoniously dumped fully into the river?
At least the water was quite warm; unlike the time dear Peter dropped me into the same river once in spring at Alexandra, just after the gates had been opened at Eildon, affording me a snow fresh bath.
After some severe adjustment of the seating arrangement in our canoe and handing my (now) destroyed mobile phone to my wife Deb, who had the good sense not to laugh (we do still live together), we set off with more determination than Captain Phillip into (almost) uncharted waters.
But what a lovely river. Coolish weather, eagles, kingfishers, cockies (flying and farming), too many cows in the water and a light breeze made this journey closer to what Jerome K. Jerome's three men had in mind (no Montmorency, thank you).
Morning tea and lunch was more a time of gloating than resting.
Rachel pulled out her picnic rug and set up camp. I revealed the two largest vanilla slices with bright pink icing to accompany the brewed coffee, Judith opened up some Thai cuisine.
We arrived at Seymour early in the afternoon, in time to watch some young lout hacking into one of the park trees with an axe.
He was given a suitably arresting word of advice and subsequently sulked off somewhere.
We loaded up the vehicles and went our own ways, having had a top trip down Victoria's premier waterway.
Thanks Rachel for organising this, and thanks for allowing me to be there to help my brother.
Thankyou for your comment.Your comment will appear once it has been approved by MMG staff.

May 18, 2015, 11:35 AM EDT

GM Dan Jennings to be named the Marlins new manager. And it's a terrible idea.
May 18, 2015, 7:38 AM EDT
Naming your GM — who hasn't coached baseball since running a high school team in the mid-1980s — is unconventional. Not considering minority candidates is violative of the Selig Rule. But then again, these are the Marlins, and they do what they want.

The Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has been dealt a major blow after Abou Diaby was ruled out for nine months. The midfielder injured his left knee in training on Wednesday and scans have revealed that he has torn the anterior cruciate ligament, meaning he needs surgery and will be sidelined for the rest of the year.
Wenger had been resisting the temptation to rush Jack Wilshere back into action, despite a mounting shortage of midfielders at the club.
But the Diaby set-back leaves Arsenal with just Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey and Francis Coquelin available for the central midfield berths.
Wilshere – who made his comeback in October after 17 months out injured – has not played since sustaining a badly bruised ankle in the 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on 3 March and missed England's most recent World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro.
Despite his absence, Arsenal have beaten Bayern Munich and Swansea City away in their only two fixtures since then. They have also moved to within four points of their north- London rivals Tottenham with a game in hand as they chase fourth place and Champions League qualification for a 16th successive season.
Yet with Diaby now sidelined after having played alongside Arteta against Swansea a fortnight ago, and Theo Walcott absent for tomorrow's meeting with Reading at the Emirates after picking up an injury on England duty, Wenger is taking a cautious approach with Wilshere due to concerns over his long-term future.
"We deferred his rehab a little bit by one week. We gave him one more week rest because it was wise medically to do it," Wenger said. "It was an inflammation of his bone and we had such history with him [that] we are a bit more cautious than we would be with you or with me.
"He will start his first run outside on Monday and six days after that will be too short. He's out for four weeks on Monday. He works very hard inside in the gym but it's not the same. He knows he has to take care of his future. Because he is a very young player, I think he accepts it."
Walcott is expected to be in contention for next week's visit to face West Bromwich Albion after pulling out of the England squad with a groin injury. He has failed to score in his last five appearances but Wenger was adamant that signing a new three and half year contract worth £100,000 a week in January has had nothing to do with his dip in form.
"I don't believe that. If he didn't play well and had not signed a contract, then people would say the opposite," he said. "I don't think that is linked especially with the fact that he has signed a contract or not. Because you can say as well he is more secure, he can express himself.
"I don't see any difference in attitude in training. He is a guy who loves football, who stays after training, works on his finishing. He was just a bit less decisive. He needs that fraction of a second to make the difference. He needs his pace."
