WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- One game they run with -- and beat -- the Final Four crowd. The next they're bereft of emotion, and fall to lesser teams they should beat.
Maryland slipped again last night at Lawrence Joel Coliseum, as the Terps followed their classic win over No. 1 North Carolina with an uninspired 72-60 loss to a Wake Forest team that had spent the last month in a self-destruct mode.

Originally written on Mets360.com | Last updated 8/6/12
When Sandy Alderson and company selected Brandon Nimmo with the Mets first round (13th overall) pick in the 2011 draft it was hardly a slam dunk. This is because Nimmo's home state, Wyoming, might have a higher population of endangered American Buffalo than high-school athletes. (Also… Wyoming is pretty cold). Nimmo's talents were only truly put on display with his play for an American Legion team. So, seeing Nimmo begin to blossom in his first full season as a prospect has to feel good for Alderson who rolled the dice a little selecting him. Physically, Nimmo is a big kid (6'3") with a skinny build (185 Lbs). He has a solid swing and good strong legs and this… has scouts a little confused. Right now, some scouts see Nimmo as a speedy centerfielder who has a little power but survives on his legs. Other scouts see him as a budding power outfielder who will bulk up and need to be moved to a corner. The good news… No scouts think he's not destined to be a fine "Major League" pl

Thanks for the feedback.
The Linksys WCF12 is the newer model in the WCF series. It's not T-shaped
anymore. It doesn't get in the way of the stylus. One review of the
WCF12 commended it on its range.

The other item I may not have mentioned when I was confessing about my spring shopping spree was the Emily Carr print that we found, beautifully matted and framed, and on sale for an astoundingly low price.
I mean astoundingly low.
The frame itself would have cost as much as they were asking.
The matting would have cost as much as they were asking.
And the print itself would have cost as much as they were asking.
I had to ask if it was right. I couldn't take my eyes off of it.
Once they confirmed that was, indeed, what they were asking for it, I couldn't leave it behind.
So my wonderful mom bought it for us. It is our Christmas present for next year. We were going to wait until next December to put it up.
But it is so beautiful.
We put it up immediately.
We had a pretty big and bare wall in the upstairs landing. It was the perfect place. This is the view of the upstairs landing from the stairs.
I like how it picks up the red and orange in my husband's and son's dance bustles that we keep above the doorway. So not planned…
This is the view from the landing looking down the stairway.
Here is a closer view of the print itself. It is a painting of hers called "Autumn Woods."
One more look.
Isn't it gorgeous?

Matt Barkley, Landry Jones lead Heisman Trophy candidates
By Bucky Brooks
Analyst, NFL.com and NFL Network
Published: Aug. 30, 2012 at 10:56 a.m.

Jeff Gentner/Associated Press
West Virginia's Geno Smith is a do-it-all quarterback with a shot at winning the Heisman Trophy this season.
The chase for the Heisman Trophy is similar to a NASCAR race, with candidates' reputations determining pole position as we head into the regular season. However, the award ultimately will go to the playmaker who shows he has the sizzle to match the hype while helping his team mount a serious title run. With those benchmarks set, let's take a look at 12 potential candidates to win the award in 2012.
College Football Predictions
How will Matt Barkley's USC Trojans fare in 2012? NFL.com's analysts share their predictions for the season. More ...
1. Matt Barkley, QB, USC
When Barkley made the surprising decision to return for his senior season, he shot to the top of the list of Heisman contenders. He was absolutely sensational in 2011, racking up 3,528 passing yards and 39 touchdowns while giving up just seven interceptions. With a supporting cast featuring some of college football's best playmakers at wide receiver and running back, Barkley could put up ridiculous numbers on a marquee stage in Los Angeles.
2. Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
Jones is underappreciated as a potential Heisman winner following his disappointing finish in 2011, but he could quickly re-emerge as a frontrunner by directing the Sooners offense on a run to the BCS title game. Jones has several playmakers on the perimeter who are capable of getting down the field, including receiver Kenny Stills, and we could see Jones make plenty of splashy plays.
3. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Smith and the Mountaineers hung 70 points on the Clemson Tigers in the Orange Bowl, so you can be sure he's squarely on the radar of scouts and coaches looking for the next dynamic, game-changing quarterback. Smith isn't a dual-threat playmaker in the Mountaineers' version of the spread offense, but he is a pinpoint passer who can punish opponents with his accurate srikes. West Virginia is poised to challenge for a Big 12 title, and the national recognition that follows could vault Smith into contention early in the season.
4. Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
Boyd put up phenomenal numbers as a first-year starter leading the Tigers' high-powered offense. He accounted for 4,000-plus yards of total offense in 2011, producing 38 touchdowns through the air and on the ground. Driving a scoring machine that routinely puts up 50-plus points in games, Boyd will have plenty of opportunities to showcase his diverse skills as a playmaker from the pocket.
5. Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina
Lattimore has been hailed as one of the best runners in college football after dominating the SEC over the past two seasons. He is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and that might rob him of some explosiveness. But Lattimore could produce enough as the Gamecocks' workhorse to lead the SEC and vault to the top of the list.
6. Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
Wisconsin's Montee Ball has a lot to live up to after a dazzling 2011.

Ball will have a tough time surpassing his remarkable 2011 campaign, in which he had the most rushing yards (1,923) and yards from scrimmage (2,229) in the NCAA and matched Barry Sanders' record for touchdowns in a season (39). But thanks to the Badgers' suspect quarterback situation, he'll be counted on to carry the offense as the featured runner, and we could see a host of 100-yard games and touchdowns. If Ball comes close to matching his totals from last year, it will be hard to keep his name off the trophy.
7. Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
The most electrifying player in college football blazes the turf in Death Valley on a weekly basis. Watkins rewrote the ACC record book as a freshman, and he could continue to raise the bar as the Tigers' top weapon this season. He was suspended by the team for two games after an offseason arrest on misdemeanor drug possession charges, and that might impact voters' opinions. But the weekly splash plays Watkins produces could push his off-the-field transgressions into the rearview mirror by season's end.
8. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon
Barner gained 1,123 yards from scrimmage while backing up LaMichael James last season. Now he gets the opportunity to be the primary playmaker in a Ducks' attack that will certainly rank as one of college football's best. Oregon's spread offense will showcase Barner's combination of speed, strength and quickness, and he should produce a number of highlight plays that will linger in the minds of voters. The Ducks are also positioned to make a legitimate title run, giving Barner the platform to be a dark-horse candidate for college football's prized honor.
9. Denard Robinson, QB, Michigan
Robinson directs the Wolverines' offense like a magician in the Big House, but there is nothing mysterious about his game. Robinson is an explosive improvisational playmaker with outstanding running skills. He's also developed into a dangerous passer capable of connecting for big plays. His game is not aesthetically pleasing to traditionalists, but Robinson is a human highlight reel with the potential to produce big numbers in the Big Ten.
10. Knile Davis, RB, Arkansas
Based on the public's affinity for quarterbacks, Davis might be overshadowed by his teammate, Tyler Wilson. But there is not a more explosive runner in college football. Davis has all of the tools that coaches look for; posting huge numbers against SEC defenses will raise his profile as a potential Heisman candidate.
11. Keith Price, QB, Washington
Price quietly developed into one of college football's top dual-threat quarterbacks as a first-year starter for the Huskies in 2011. He displayed excellent arm strength, touch and accuracy from the pocket while also showing athleticism and mobility. He's had a full offseason to master the nuances of playing the position, and Price could eventually factor prominently in the Heisman discussion.
12. Logan Thomas, QB, Virginia Tech
The highly-regarded Thomas is not a likely Heisman candidate, but if he guides the Hokies to the BCS title game, that could enhance his chances with the voters. He has shown impressive skills as a dual-threat playmaker, and his ability to deliver sizzle plays could create enough momentum for him to nab the trophy.

Re: Barkley, Landry Jones lead Heisman Trophy candidates
I think Denard is way overrated. Last year in the bowl game he had 13 carries for 13 yards, and thats his only strength. He basically throws jump balls. Tajh, sorta a gamer, but shouldn't be ahead of LT, but he does have Sammy. I tend to think Barkley will continue to get slobbed b/c he's got those two wr's. I sorta think the Heisman is a joke, so many who win it go on to have terrible nfl careers.

To add, why can't a defensive player win it. The year Suh went off, he should have hands down won that award.

Re: Barkley, Landry Jones lead Heisman Trophy candidates
Yeah, the Heisman tends basically be voted upon like a MVP award, basically giving it to the most outstanding player on a National Title team. RG3 winning last year was an upset, although I definitely agreed that he should have won it.
Denard is an explosive guy made for SportsCenter highlights. But I agree the more you watch him, the more limited you see him becoming. He's not very smart in terms of his football IQ, which means that defensively if you have players you can contain him as Virginia Tech did, as well as Michigan State and Iowa.

You're right, the Nichols tournament is garbage. Herkey complained last year that we didn't have enough mid-western tournaments, which is true, but that's only because the midwestern states don't have as many good tournaments as the eastern states.
But I saw his point, so I added it. Maybe it's time to delete it this year.... I don't know. Any last minute arguments on this?

Charlotte residents in awe of new light rail line
Charlotte's Lynx Blue Line opened on Saturday, November 24, as thousands gathered to ride the city's new light rail line. While residents enjoyed a free ride over the weekend, they soon will pay a reasonable $1.30 fare. The 9.6 mile Lynx Blue Line includes 15 stops. Serious plans are already in the works to expand its length 11 miles by 2013.
While the enthusiasm of Charlotte's residents is promising, the true gauge of a successful Charlotte transit system will come not only when we see how many residents use the system, but in the next few years when residents and local officials will decide on future light rail projects that will surely add value to Charlotte. With great timing, CNU's 2008 Transportation Summit in Charlotte should only build on this transit renaissance in the Queen City.
Ridership healthy so far
I took some photos along the line on 26 November, its first revenue day in service. Ridership estimates for the first week show that it's well on track to achieve its first year ridership goals -- especially as the many under-construction buildings lining the route welcome new residents and businesses.

Soldier back home in PA after fifth deployment to Middle East
York, PA — While Seth Benge was serving in Afghanistan in 2010, his wife, Elizabeth, grew her hair out.
She waited until he returned to get it cut. Then she donated some of her hair to Locks of Love, a nonprofit that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children who have long-term hair loss because of a medical condition.
Elizabeth followed the same plan for Seth's latest deployment to Kuwait.
"Any other ones he'll go on, I'll do it again," she said. "…It's just something kind of fun for me to do."
Seth arrived in Kuwait in December. He returned home to his wife and children in Red Lion Wednesday. The day after he returned, Elizabeth said she was planning
to get a hair cut in the next few weeks.
Challenging deployments
The Kuwait deployment was Seth Benge's fifth to the Middle East, and his third since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Benge, a first lieutenant who turned 40 on Saturday, enlisted in the U.S. Marines in 1990 and left the military in 1997.
Duirng that time, Benge had his first two Middle East deployments, including one to Kuwait two years after the 1991 Persian Gulf War and a later one to Bahrain.
He was out of the military until 2003, when he joined the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.
He said the three post-9/11 deployments each had challenges.
He went to Iraq in 2005, serving in Ramadi, as an enlisted solider working in a civil affairs unit. Benge spent a lot of time doing patrols, out on the streets.
"It was kind of a hairy time in Iraq," he said.
It was a dangerous and physical deployment, Benge said.
"The challenge there was just kind of surviving," he said.
After he came back from that deployment, he joined the Pennsylvania Army National Guard and became a commissioned officer.
He volunteered to ship out with the Vermont National Guard for an Afghanistan deployment in 2010. It was his first deployment to the Middle East as a commissioned officer.
"Coming in from the outside into a unit and then being in control of a lot of different assets … that was the big challenge there," he said.
Benge was stationed at Bagram Airfield in Parwan Province. He was a battle captain, an officer in charge of a unit when a battalion commander isn't around.
He said he worked in the kind of room you'd see on TV-with a bunch of screens and video feeds coming in. When patrols went out, he was part of the group that tracked them and sent air support, if needed.
For the Kuwait deployment, Benge was part of a brigade that conducted base operations and security missions on military installations that support operations throughout the Middle East.
He was the executive officer for a troop of about 120 soldiers in the southern half of Kuwait.
Benge's troop provided security for the main base in the southern half of Kuwait, Camp Arifjan, and some smaller bases.
Those bases are mainly used as a transition point for people and supplies going to Afghanistan and elsewhere, he said.
He spent a lot of time dealing with logistics – making sure soldiers had enough supplies and dealing with vehicle maintenance.
Because of the draw down of troops that's occurred in Iraq and Afghanistan, he said troops in Kuwait were in a transition period while he was there.
"That was the biggest challenge, really, and that's what we spent most of the time doing, just examining what we were doing on a daily basis and making sure it met up with what the mission required," he said.
A taste of home
While Benge was in Kuwait, Elizabeth's mother sent him a small Christmas tree. He Skyped with family members for the holiday.
"We all opened our Christmas presents together," Elizabeth said.
Benge's wife and his two youngest children greeted him with balloons and posters at Fort Indiantown Gap Wednesday. His oldest daughter had to work.
He's on leave until the middle of October.
On Thursday, he was still unpacking and doing laundry.
His to do list included buying a car to replace the one he sold before he left, doing some odds and ends around the house and spending time with my family.
"It's nice to be home finally," he said.
About 200 Pennsylvania National Guard soldiers with the 1-104th Cavalry Squadron, 55th Armor Brigade, returned to their home armories at Fort Indiantown Gap, Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, said Staff Sgt. Ted Nichols, a spokesman with the Pennsylvania National Guard.
It was the seventh group from the 55th Armor Brigade to return home, according to Nichols.
The 55th conducted base operations and security missions on military installations used to support military operations throughout the Middle East, he said.
He said additional groups of Pennsylvania National Guard members from a variety of other units are scheduled to return over the next several weeks.
About Benge
Name: Seth Benge, first lieutenant in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard
Age: 40
Home: Red Lion
Education: Business degree, Biola University in California
Profession: Former chief of staff for state Rep. Seth Grove, R-Dover Township. Benge said he's basically been on active duty since his 2010 deployment to Afghanistan. After returning home from that deployment, he worked full-time at Fort Indiantown Gap, preparing troops to be deployed.
He said he's on leave until the middle of October. One option he's considering is becoming a military technician, a person with dual status who works full-time for the National Guard as a federal employee.
Family: Wife, Elizabeth; children Jenna, Joe and Katina

Hellblazer is gone, the end of an era
By arnoldoaad 4 Comments
I never read Hellblazer.
not even one issue.
I consider myself a really heavy reader, I read a lot of comics every week, mostly DC and its rare for me to drop a book even if its bad, so i have a lot of books that I own, either in digital or trade form and i have never touch, I have all the books of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Im only on the second volume, I have all of Tom Strong and i have only read the first issue, I have mostly all of Spawn, pretty much all of Witchblade and i havent read a single issue, and there are many books which I dont own on any form but I want to read them, so Hellblazer is one of those that is on my very long list of things to read, Its one of those comics that you have hear about when you start reading comics and you are aware of it for a long time and its always there and I kinda always imagine that it was always gonna be there.
The same moment when DC announced the New 52 and said that it was going to reboot the numbering of Action Comics, Superman,Tec and Batman, one of the first things that crossed my mind was that Hellblazer was now the only book to have survived all the the crisis in DC, even since Crisis on Infinite Earths Hellblazer was there and then he moved to Vertigo, and now its the oldest comic ever made that is still being made without any changes on the numbering, just once per month the next adventure of John Constantine, always there, always present for 20+ years.
There is a certain kind of aura or spirit or essence, or whatever you want call it from something like that, is Pure Nostalgia that when you look at it, that is a comic book, that is what a comic book should be, and just a couple of days ago DC announced that Hellblazer was going to end on issue 300 and in the same month a new book name Constantine will be on the New 52.
It genuinely feels like the end of an Era, like things will never ever be the same in the comic book community as a whole and again this is coming from someone who never read the book, but the idea of Hellblazer ending feels bigger than anything that i have seen so far in the New 52.
I guess that I should start with my first experience with the character, it wasnt on any particular book about Hellblazer or anything vertigo related for that matter
It was the first time I read an old book, and by old i mean anything from before the 00s, I just finished reading Infinite Crisis after just entering in the world of comics, and i was a little confused on the events, i liked the event but didnt knew that it was a "sequel" to another book, an event name Crisis on Infinite Earths, so friend loan me the huge book and thats the first time i saw Constantine who is none essential at all in the book and even only appears for just a few panels.
I bet mostly no one would recognize him from any cover, he just seems so generic, a blond guy smoking and the most important part of this scene, the prt that stuck with me was the mention of the Swamp Thing, and right there I recognized him as John Constantine, I had never read Swamp Thing at that time but i had heard of him just dont remember where or how.
the second time I saw Constantine wasnt in a comic, it was in a movie
Personally, I dont think it was a bad movie but it has practically nothing to do with the Comic Book Constantine version, its one of those examples of Hollywood and specifically WB having no idea what makes a character tick, what makes ppl appeal to it and just fail at making a good adaptation, and yet this is kind of a minor offfender cause there are worst cases like Jonah Hex or the worst of all Catwoman, but thats for another day, this as a movie may had nothing to do with Constantine but I thought it was entertaining enough and i liked most of the action sequences
and then I really didnt thought of that until I started reading Swamp Thing
Lets go back to 2010, when Brightest Day was starting i was honestly exited, I think most ppl will say that is a mediocre comic but i dont, I thought it had some of the best things in years, I loved the story with Deadman, and the story with Martian Manhunter, I think im the only person who actually liked D'Kay, i think she is a brilliant concept for the essential nemesis of John, and there other good stuff in there but one of the things that got a lot of ppl talking was "THE SAVIOR" who was going to be the character that was going to return and be the next big thing, and i keep hearing this Theory, not a rumor, that it was going to be the Swamp Thing, I knew next to nothing about the Swamp Thing but i knew enough to just explain "What! No, you are wrong, that doesnt make any sense, listen is going to be Animal Man or resurrection man, its logical" and of course i was 100% dead wrong
It was the Swamp Thing and in the same day that it was reveal that The Swamp Thing was the next big thing I got an the entire set of Swamp Thing comics, I started from the beginning of the second volume, though i did get the first volume, and i still havent read it, the first 20 issues were nothing special but i did got the gist of the character
and then I got to the Alan Moore Part...
Without Exaggeration, Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing is the best Comic Book ever created
Its just nothing short of that and that is when i really got to love what John Constantine was as a character as well as the swamp thing, by the time that Brightest Day was finally ending i had already finish the entire Saga and was looking forward for the next run, but what was better was that just like Swamp Thing was getting back to DC
so was Constantine
There were going to be 2 Constantines the one in Hellblazer, who at the time was getting married(so i heard), and the one in DC, and the one in DC was going to be closer to the one in Saga of the Swamp thing, so perfect for me since i was not familiar with the one in Hellblazer
Then I always hear the complain that Vertigo is not like DC, that you cant mix them up, or something like that, how little memory have hose ppl cause when those ppl think of the Swamp Thing they think Vertigo and completely forget the little insignificant detail that Alan Moore's Swamp Thing was not a vertigo book
the same applies for Morrison's Animal Man, or his Doom Patrol, or the first Chps of Sandman, or even Hellblazer
Vertigo didnt create those titles, those titles created Vertigo, and if that same essence can be put back on DC, if we can get that spirit to return to DC, then its all great cause you can still have Vertigo in certain form. Vertigo was that mature and adult side of DC so I was hoping for a DC that was more mature, more Adult, in essence more like Vertigo.
Which leads me to the final Point of this.
Constantine vs Hellblazer
There is absolutely nothing bad i can say about New 52 Constantine
even though some ppl consider it a PG Constantine it still has what Constantine had, at least from what i know from Constantine from the Swamp Thing book
he didnt really swear that much in Alan Moore's book, at least not that i can remember, he was just the ultimate manipulator and thats what it is
of course it help that he was introduced by Milligan who was writing him in Hellblazer
and Lemire is right now a rising Star in the comic world, he has done a great job with him on JLD and Animal Man so I see nothing wrong with Constantine getting his own comic
The problem lies in the fact that this has nothing to do with Hellblazer, Hellblazer is that same Constantine who came to life from the words of Alan Moore and have always been ther for 20 years.
once again there is absolutely nothing bad with DC52 Constantine, but he is not the same
Im looking forward for the Constantine book and im looking up for 2 things specifically
1- is Im really looking forward on this Verdini guy, why? because I know absolutely nothing about his writing and that excites me, I know he relaunched a book name XO-Manowar and made it the best selling title of its company as well as getting excellent reviews on it, so im always looking forward on new talent specially when it delivers, I also hope he does a good job on Demon Knights too
and #2
and this is something that no one is even considering
is that im looking forward for a similar thing of this in the cover
The appearance or lack of it in the cover is what ultimately will decide the fate of this book, it will decide whatever is a worthy successor of Hellblazer or another one of the pile that will live for 12 maybe 18 issues before cancellation, and No one is talking about this.
We dont know what is the rating of this book and we wont know until the solicits for March 2013 are in, becoming the first M rated comic of the new 52 might be what ultimately saves this book because even a T+ is not gonna cut it and just something as simple as that might be what destroys it.
and regarding Hellblazer
Its the last of the original Vertigo Titles, when this titles is gone so will be the spirit of the original Vertigo
It is the end of an Era, where people will no longer look at Vertigo with the same eyes, they will look at what it was and what is becoming and if we are a little lucky maybe we will see some of it again in the new DC
Now if you excuse me im have over 296 comics to catch up onto.

Firms cannot cut workers salaries,
says ministry
Adel Arafah (firstname.lastname@example.com) / 27 July 2010
The Ministry of Labour (MoL) clarified on Monday that companies cannot slash workers pay for any reason, even if they face mounting losses.
This will come as welcome reassurance for workers of firms battling the downturn.
Saleh Al Jabri, Director of the Establishments Department at the Ministry, said: It is illegal for a company to cut workers pay as the employment contract is a binding agreement attested by the Ministry and all parties must comply with its clauses.
He warned companies against tampering with pay packages and said the ministry will not accept that at all. The official advised workers to immediately report any case, so that the inspection department of the MoL could swing into action and investigate such violations.
Companies that do not adhere to the contractual provisions will have their files closed by the Ministry and all transactions with them will be suspended. The violating company will be prosecuted as manipulating workers salary is considered a crime.
Al Jabris statement came at the open day when many workers lodged complaints against their company for allegedly reducing their salaries. They were asked to accept new terms in their contracts, or have their employment visas cancelled after a ban was slapped on them. The ban would deny them entry into the country for six months.
In their petition, the workers said they were living under stress as their company had coerced them to sign new employment contracts with 50 per cent reduced pay.
The MoL initiated the Wage Protection System, or WPS, which guarantees that workers receive their salary in full and on time.

In an online video, astronaut Chris Hadfield sings the David Bowie song "Space Oddity" while floating around in zero gravity aboard the International Space Station.
The video features shots of a floating guitar that would look like a Hollywood special effect anywhere else. It also shows arresting images of the space station orbiting over Earth.

The University Singers present several concerts, including a Christmas concert, each year and also perform in the Music Department's spring and fall choral concerts. In addition to singing in several University Chapel services each semester, the group is often invited to perform for local and area churches and civic groups. This ensemble studies and performs choral chamber music from different periods and styles including madrigal, pop, jazz, and classical literature.
Do I have to be a music major?
No. The only requirement is that you are currently in Concert Choir. Students interested in auditioning for University Singers should contact Dr. Justin Hodges, Director of Choral Activities.
So what is a typical University Singers audition like?
The audition usually consists of prospective singers auditioning during a University Singers rehearsal; prospective singers will read a choral piece with the current members. Based on that, Dr. Hodges makes his decision on who will join University Singers.
Okay. I want in! When are auditions?
When spots become available, Dr. Hodges normally announces auditions at the beginning of each semester. Anyone in Concert Choir, regardless of age or major, is invited to audition for University Singers. We would love for you to come and be a part of our University Singers family!
Being in University Singers is a wonderful opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and put yourself out there. Yes, the group is much smaller but there is something wonderful about being in a close, tight-knit group of singers and making music with them. We travel, we sing some really great music, and the dynamic is unlike any other choral experience because of the small group size.
Not for you but still want to hear us? Join us at our next concert!

Shirley Woodman, an 82-year-old retired teacher who fought to change the law regarding the right to receive compensation for a serious crime has been awarded an MBE for services to the community in Yorkshire.
Mrs Woodman, previously known only as Mrs A for legal reasons, received the award as part of the Queen's New Year honours.
Mrs Woodman was attacked by Iorworth Hoare in Roundhay Park, Leeds in 1988. Mr Hoare was a serial sex attacker with previous convictions for rape, two other attempted rapes and three indecent assaults against his name. Mr Hoare was caught, and Mrs Woodman testified against him in court, evidence which helped secure his conviction and a life sentence for the attacks.
In 2004, Mr Hoare bought a Lotto Extra ticket whilst on day-release from prison. In a remarkable turn of events he scooped the main prize of some £7.2m. He was released from prison a year later to enjoy his winnings a free man.
Upon learning of his win, Mrs Woodman started a battle to win some compensation from Mr Hoare for the lifetime of psychological distress he caused his victims. Mr Hoare contested her claim, on the basis that more than six years had passed from the incident and that therefore Mrs Woodman was time-barred from bringing any legal claim over his winnings.
The case went all the way to the House of Lords, who decided to change the law to allow victims of serious assaults extra time to bring claims for compensation.
Mrs Woodman gave all the compensation she received to local charities.
"I felt that he was going to seek me out and wreak his vengeance on me because it was my evidence given in court which put him in prison," said Mrs Woodman.
"It was a fantastic struggle, a long and traumatic one which was very hard at times," she told the BBC. "But when we heard the decision from the Lords there was jubilation."
Mrs Woodman was nominated for the MBE by her daughter, who described her as "a woman of dignity, a woman of strength".

Hey, referee! William Bown's analogy between football and the brain drain was indeed apposite (Forum, 30 November 1991).
I was over the moon when New Scientist published my attempt to set the record books straight about government distortion of brain-drain statistics (Talking Point, 29 September 1990). But now I'm as sick as a parrot about your own-goal of an article which trots out the same old myths put about by those ministerial hooligans: 'British science is healthy . . . because it attracts more scientists from abroad than it loses' and 'the total gain . . . shows an encouraging trend'.
So, with an E-I-Addio, here is my action replay.
For example, figures put out by the Department of Education and Science claim that only 160 academics in all subjects left Britain in 1988, and that this was fewer than those who came in. However, these figures deliberately exclude postdocs ...

No Yeast Sourdough Bread
Would someone have a recipe for a sourdough bread that is made with no yeast? The Italian Community in Griffith NSW Australia bakes this kind of bread but I can't seem to find a recipe. From what I can gather it is simply flour, salt and water however I do not know quantities, length of time resting and baking times and temperatures. Can anyone help please?
Re: No Yeast Sourdough Bread
There are tons of books on the subject, but I started out with this thread and worked on from there:
Re: No Yeast Sourdough Bread
It's important to recognize that yeast is unavoidable. It's in the air around us, on the fruits and vegetables we eat, and, most importantly, in the flour we use to bake bread. Given time, a dough made with just flour and water will rise as a result.

"The NextGen Technician"
J. Randolph Babbitt, Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami, Florida
April 13, 2011
Aviation Week's MRO Americas Conference
Remarks as Prepared for Delivery
Thank you, Ed (Hazelwood) for that kind introduction. It's a pleasure to be here with you in Florida, my home state. I learned to fly right across the causeway here, in Opa-Locka.
I want to take a moment to thank all of you for the vital work you do. Thank you for your professionalism. I often talk about the importance of doing the right thing, even when no one is looking. And America expects perfection from the aviation industry every hour, every day, all year long.
From the largest MRO down to the line mechanic, it all rests on our trust in the individual. The technicians have the knowledge and the tools. And while the FAA writes the rules, it really does come down to each of you. We cannot regulate personal responsibility and pride. That has to come from within. As someone who's flown in this system for thousands of hours, I've always known that you delivered the goods. So thank you once again.
At the FAA, we are taking steps to build on the professionalism of our industry and enhance our safety culture.
Safety Management Systems will play a key role.
We are working to make the shift from a safety system that relies on forensics, to one where we use computer analyses to show us trends and help us make safety decisions.
The cost of a Safety Management System is far less than the cost of an accident. SMS is a safety feedback loop. You identify the problem, you analyze it, and you come up with a solution. Then you train to the solution and check how you're doing.
A central element to any Safety Management System is the employee who reports potential hazards.
I want to encourage reporting of errors throughout the system because this issue is bigger than any one of us. We want to take a holistic approach to the safety of our aviation system. We are already working with pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, dispatchers and air traffic controllers to do this.
Our safety culture demands that when someone sees something – anything – that gives them pause, they raise their hand and say, "I think I've noticed something that needs looking at."
This isn't about blame—this is about having the professionalism and practices in place to let us know where problems exist.
That's how we catch errors and improve safety.
We would like to see more companies and airports adopt SMS. And eventually MROs.
Last fall, the FAA released a rule proposing that most commercial airlines in the United States be required to institute SMS.
We also recently made a proposal to require some airports to adopt Safety Management Systems for airfield and ramp areas.
Most carriers already have quality control and quality assurance programs in place. An SMS would formalize those. Carriers would continue to audit their MROs to find out the basics – if the inspection intervals are right – if they are getting good reliability from the company – if they are performing the work the way they are supposed to. While the final responsibility lies with the carriers, the professional reputation and success of the MRO rests on integrity and the good work that you do.
No company or organization is too small for a Safety Management System, but the key is, it doesn't have to look the same everywhere.
If you have one airplane, you already have an SMS. It's called a logbook.
You write down your observations. You find risks and trends. You prioritize and mitigate them.
An SMS is scalable. You can tailor it to the size and complexity of your organization. It can be a series of databases, or it can be a yellow note pad.
More important, though, is that SMS is the right thing to do. We need to step above and beyond where we are today, and simply complying with the letter of the regulations is not enough to get us there. We're also applying SMS principles to FAA oversight and operational activities. Bottom line – our SMS will give us the data we need to connect the dots.
Ideally we want all Safety Management Systems around the world to be in harmony. We all need to define a hazard the same way and share data in a meaningful way.
We have a lot on our plate at the FAA and I'd like to bring you up to date on advances we're making, but first, I know a topic of great interest is the status of FAA reauthorization, so I would like to touch on that.
We have had 18 short-term extensions over the last three and a half years. We need the restoration of predictable long-term funding for aviation programs. This is critical to the safety of the traveling public and it will improve our transportation infrastructure, generate new jobs and spur economic growth.
We are pleased that both and the House and the Senate have passed reauthorization bills – we're moving forward. But, the authorized funding levels in the House bill are well below what the President proposed in his budget. Funding at these levels would degrade the safe and efficient movement of air traffic today and in the future.
We need this reauthorization so we can continue to run the safest and most efficient air transportation system in the world. And to continue our transition to NextGen.
And we are facing a pivotal time in aviation history. We are transforming to NextGen – moving from ground-based radar to satellite-based navigation. Air travel will be more precise, safer, more efficient and more environmentally-friendly. We need to embrace this opportunity and lead the way.
NextGen makes safety sense. It makes business sense. It gets passengers where they want to go more quickly. It cuts fuel burn. And most importantly, it pays for itself with a very positive rate of return.
Delaying infrastructure investments means that the long term cost to our nation – to our passengers and our environment – will far exceed the cost of going forward with the technology today.
Some airlines are already capitalizing on this. They have done the math and have seen the business case for equipping for NextGen. They are capturing real dollar savings.
Alaska Airlines has been a leader in using GPS-based arrival procedures at Juneau International Airport. They can fly precisely through mountainous terrain with low visibility thanks to the higher accuracy of GPS.
The airline estimates it would have cancelled 729 flights last year due to bad weather into Juneau alone if it were not for the GPS-based approaches. Those were passengers who got in. No diversions. No ground holds.
Alaska also is joining the FAA, the Port of Seattle and Boeing, to further develop GPS-based procedures at Seattle Tacoma International Airport. That is part of our "Greener Skies over Seattle" initiative. That project should save literally millions of gallons of fuel annually, cut noise and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
We estimate that airlines using GPS-based arrival procedures at SeaTac will save a total of about $6.8 million per year at today's fuel prices. And that number is only going to get larger as more airlines equip. With the "Greener Skies over Seattle" initiative, aircraft will emit less carbon dioxide – about 22,400 metric tons less per year. Let me put it to you this way, that's like taking 4,100 cars off the streets of the Seattle region.
We want to see this safety, efficiency and smaller carbon footprint system-wide.
As an industry we will need to become more nimble and flexible to keep pace with the expected growth and advancements in aviation worldwide.
MROs will need to work harder to attract and retain more technicians to handle the growth.
And as the transformational technologies of NextGen come into the market place, technicians will not only need to be handy with a wrench, but also with software.
Technicians in a NextGen world will need more computer skills and understand systems integration – making sure all components talk with one another.
We're not far from the day when an airplane will pull up to the gate and connect wirelessly. It will identify itself and update navigation databases and software. With all of that technological advancement – you have a whole additional realm of security and safety you need to look at. We're taking steps and we're working with the industry to help airlines maintain that security posture.
That's why continuous education is so important for technicians and supervisors. We have to always be working to get better and to stay abreast of the latest technology and trends.
At the FAA, too, we have been thinking about the best way to prepare for the future as we move forward with NextGen.
Our goal is to reach the next level of safety and prepare our workforce for the future. We want to work closely with industry to implement new technologies and procedures that are sustainable. And we want to work with other countries to establish uniform standards around the globe.
This is a very exciting time in aviation. Together we are creating the template for a new system.
So, I thank you for your attention and I appreciate your help, your investment and your bright ideas as we mold the Next Generation air transportation system.

Warming up before exercise and cooling down after are just as important as the exercise itself. By properly warming up the muscles and joints with low-level aerobic movement for 5 to 10 minutes, one may avoid injury and build endurance over time. Cooling down after exercise by walking slowly, then stretching muscles, may also prevent strains and blood pressure fluctuation.

Egypt to set up oil storage firm next year
(Reuters) / 8 May 2007
CAIRO - Egypt will establish a company to build a million-tonne storage facility for Arab Gulf crude oil in the countrys Mediterranean city of Sidi Kerir in 2008, a senior Oil Ministry official said on Tuesday.
The storage and loading firm is a joint venture between the Egyptian Oil Ministry and Sumed, which is owned by the Arab Petroleum Pipelines Co., the ministry source said.
The firm will build a few commercial storage tanks, which will make Sidi Kerir the main storage hub in the Mediterranean, the official told Reuters.
He did not give the projects total investment, but said the storage capacity could be raised if oil demand increased.
Small-capacity tanks will offload the Gulf crude in Sidi Kerir, where the crude oil is to be stored until it is re-exported by more economic large-capacity tankers.
A source at Egypt-based Sumed said that the firm will store crude for companies on both term and spot-basis.
The Sumed pipeline, established in 1977, is a joint venture between Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
The 320-km pipeline, which links Ain Sukhna terminal on the Gulf of Suez to the terminal at Sidi Kerir, is a major revenue earner for the Egyptian government and competes with Suez Canal by transporting crude oil from large tankers that cant pass fully laden through the Suez Canal.
The pipeline, which has a capacity of 2.5 million barrels of oil a day, pumped a record 113 million tonnes last year, up from 111.6 million tonnes in 2005, the company said in a statement.
Earlier this year, Sumed said it planned to raise its storage capacity by 2.1 million barrels to 6.3 million barrels by the end of 2007 to corner the commercial oil storage market in the Mediterranean.
The company said it will build three storage tanks at Sidi Kerir, the loading terminal at the northern end of the Sumed pipeline.
The storage facilities are configured to include among others undertake crude swapping, delivery and to b able to handle a variety of crude grades.

Roberto Mancini repeated his claim that the title race is "finished" despite seeing his Manchester City team cut Manchester United's lead to two points with a Carlos Tevez-inspired hammering of Norwich.
Tevez, starting successive Barclays Premier League games for the first time in 11 months, scored a hat-trick and Sergio Aguero also netted a fine double as City moved within touching distance of the summit with a 6-1 win at Carrow Road.
"It is impossible. The title race is finished. It is true," said Mancini. "I think now it's too late for us. I am happy because we started to play like we did in the first half of the season today."

I thought they had to light it so that an airplane would't fly into it. I don't think its concrete, Dryvit instead, which is 100% acrylic. That makes the big Jesus a plastic redeemer and plastic has been used to enhance certain parts of the female torso. Now there is something to pray for.

F8 regulator at 13.9 v on Antigravity battery

Actually opening up all these cases also gives me a chance to look at the quality of intercell connections and in the case of the earthX look at the balance circuit.
The idea of running the battery all the way down and then see how recovery goes in a motorcycle is a good idea but should be one of the last tests as it will beyond a doubt damage the battery at least some.
It is particularly applicable to modern BMW owners as the buggy basic module firmware on those bikes has a habit of hanging on without cleanly exiting and running batteries dead overnight. It only happens once in a blue moon but does happen and that blue moon may occur when ur doing a RTW.
Balance of the cells will be a big factor as if there are some cells substantially higher they will reverse the lower cells and completely destroy them instantly.
Beyond that a slow recovery is far preferable but this isn't an easy proposition out in the field though as a matter of policy if someone does this in the field with a LiFePO4 battery id recommend switching on all accessories as soon as the bike starts to make the initial charge as slow as possible.
A BMS that disconnects the battery below a certain threshold while allowing you to hit a reset button to reconnect and start would be elegant but like with even just a balancer, adds more circuitry that can fail unless very robustly designed and quality manufactured.
Ill test the batteries at the threshold where even an idiot would know his battery is running dead and then later take it all the way down at a low rate to simulate German engineers that have more fun playing with firmware then debugging it
Have decided to buy a 20 cell Antigravity for my F8 GS to have the extra backup in the cold in Alaska and Ah to run an air tire pump, etc. Do you have any issues charging these batteries with the non "SC" BMW regulator at the lower voltage? Mine runs down the road at 13.8 volts.
