Beth the Barber opens shop
Opening her own beauty shop has always been a dream for Beth McDiarmid, and now that dream has come true.
McDiarmid is the new owner of Beth the Barber, located at 677 Peace Portal Drive. Although she is the third or fourth person to have a barbershop in the space, she is the first female barber in the building, she said.
�That building has been a barbershop for many many years,� McDiarmid said. �My goal is keeping the barbershop alive and open.�
Part of what barbershops are known for are their reasonable prices, something that McDiarmid said she hopes to continue.
�Generally barbers do not charge an arm and a leg,� McDiarmid said.
McDiarmid has wanted to be a beautician since she was in her early teens, and first began cutting hair for her neighbors while she was growing up. After graduating from Blaine high school, she went to beauty school in Bellingham where she received her beauty license.
Although it was difficult at times, McDiarmid said her father inspired her to finish beauty school and pursue her dream of being a beautician. Her father�s health faded toward the end of her schooling, but he would repeatedly ask her for haircuts.
�I think that was his way of getting me to finish,� McDiarmid said. �He never told me �you have to finish,� he just kept asking for a haircut.�
McDiarmid said it was because of her father that she named the shop Beth the Barber. He called her �Beth, a Barber,� so she opened the shop with that in mind.
Although McDiarmid had been offered her own shop in Clarkston, Washington, where she previously lived and worked, she said she did not take the offer mostly because she knew few people in the community and it just didn�t feel right to open her first shop there.
When McDiarmid came back to Blaine, she began working at the Bayside Beauty Salon with owner Judy Dunster. She loved working for the salon and would miss working with Dunster, but she felt it was time she branched out on her own.
�I don�t take things for granted,� McDiarmid said. �This is my someday.�
Without the help and encouragement of her friends in Blaine, she said she will not have been able to open her own shop. From grand opening cleaning to surprising her with flowers in the beds out front, McDiarmid said her friends have kept her going.
�My friends are great,� McDiarmid said, adding she would like to give a special thanks to everyone who has helped her. �I think they�ll know who they are. Without them I wouldn�t be here.�
McDiarmid said for now her hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. To make an appointment, drop by the barbershop or call Beth at 220-1288.

Investing for 2030: 4 key forecasts
A report on 'Global Trends 2030' contains a raft of forecasts that investors can put to work. Here are some key predictions -- and how to use them.
What do you do with predictions? Even well-researched predictions by experienced "predictors," like those behind the recently published "Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds."
And most challenging of all, what do you do with predictions about which countries will grow most rapidly?
I think the default response -- put your money into the financial markets in the fastest-growing economies -- is actually wrong. Or at the least, the idea that "GDP (gross domestic product) growth equals market returns" isn't true, and it presents a trap you want to avoid.
Some critical predictions
Let me use some of the predictions found in this recent report to explain why I believe that, and how to put such predictions to use:
● By 2030, China will be the world's leading economic power -- with the U.S. second.
● The world's oil producers -- especially Russia -- will see their influence wane, in part because the U.S. will attain energy independence.
● For the first time in history -- as far as we can know -- a majority of the world's population won't be impoverished. But half of the world's population will live in areas with severe shortages of fresh water.
● At least 15 countries will be at risk of state failure by 2030 -- Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan and Uganda among them. Aging populations will slow growth even further in Europe, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. China and Brazil will have stepped up to new global roles, and Colombia, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey will become especially important to the global economy.
Jim Jubak
Those are just four of the conclusions in the Global Trends report, a four-year effort by the U.S. National Intelligence Council.
Some of the themes in the study -- the economic rise of China and the rest of the emerging world, global aging and a scarcity of water, for example -- in the study will be familiar to readers of my columns, posts and 2008 book "The Jubak Picks." (It's out of print but you can find it used on Amazon.com.)
In other areas -- the risk of a computer network attack on global infrastructure that affects millions, or the possibility that a global health pandemic could reverse economic globalization -- the study raised issues that I haven't thought about at any length (except in the occasional nightmare).
But to me as an investor, the most useful function of the study is the challenge that it throws down. What, if anything, do I as an investor want to do about these predictions?
Faster growth can fool you
In some cases, I think the answer is relatively clear. For example, in the case of global water scarcity, if the study is even just mostly correct in its predictions -- and I think the evidence is remarkably strong in its favor -- then you want to look for shares of companies involved in moving, purifying, conserving, metering, etc. water. My most recent take on what stocks to buy on the water trend was in September (see "Water: Good as gold for investors").
I think responses to trends in the study -- such as the growth of the global middle class and the rise in consumption of food and especially protein -- are also relatively straightforward. Find companies that fulfill demand created by these trends and buy their stock.
But responding to other trends is harder -- and in no case is it harder than with the very large trends in GDP growth during the period. What do you, as an investor, do about faster growth in China, Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, etc., and relatively slower growth in Japan, Europe and the United States? The knee-jerk response is simple: You buy the markets of the faster-growing economies. You do it because economies with faster GDP growth show higher stock-market performance.
Very simple. And, current research says, very wrong.
There doesn't seem to be much correlation between GDP growth rates and stock market returns.
More from MoneyShow.com:
Jubak's earnest demand that you buy his out of print (probably for a very good reason, like the contents are 5-years out-of-date), his 2008 book "Jubak's Picks" is really what you should be paying attention to here. Jubak's picks today may be just as out of date today as they were in 2008.
The people responsible for preventing, causing, creating, reporting on, and writing books about, the greatest financial collapse since the Great Depression are still loose, and running among us. Not one of these criminal shyster politicians, banksters, and Wall Street types has been prosecuted and jailed. Hence, the only thing you will learn from people like Jubak is how nothing has changed. The game remains the same.
They were not telling the truth back then. They are not telling the truth today.
John Kenneth Galbraith used to say, "If you're going to predict, predict often." I've always taken that to mean that you're more likely to stumble into a correct answer, and more importantly, you can correct your previous predictions that have gone wrong.
Jubak illustrates Galbraith's wisdom.
The over paid writer here ,should be pulling weeds ,in a field somewhere , he is a spectulitive, wanna be
piper , that should really be shoot, or throat cut , in puplic few, knowing is just that , but a guess is more arrrogence then any issue with substance, stop the bs and this man is just that

The Mobile Electronic Device (MED) Pilot Study
Recognizing that access to educational resources is a crucial piece of the radiology outreach puzzle, RAD-AID is pleased to announce a recent partnership with the World Radiography Educational Trust Fund (WRTEF) to research an alternative method of delivery of radiography-specific educational content to imaging departments within the developing world.
Funded through a generous grant from the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) Foundation, Jonathan Mazal, MS, RT(R)(MR) and Rebecca Ludwig, PhD are leading a pilot study on the use of mobile electronic devices (MEDs) as a platform for delivering a robust collection of radiology related e-books, PDFs, and point of care apps to global imaging departments in need on a sustainable basis.
Here are a few highlights of this innovative approach:
Please contact Jonathan at: [email protected] with any questions regarding this project.

Not as good as the first, but still great on its own.
This review is from: Borderlands 2 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: I found this game to be not quite as good as the first Borderlands, but it definitely stands on its own.
Cons: Part of this may be sequel syndrome, but some of it felt like they were trying too hard.
Other Thoughts: Overall the game was just shy of the first. I am not sure if it was the change in the humor (more over-the-top and sometimes felt they were trying too hard instead of letting it be more natural), sequel syndrome, minor changes in game play, or a bit of all three.

Better then the first
This review is from: Borderlands 2 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: I rarely buy a games the day they release but borderlands is worth it, borderlands 2 is everything you wanted in the first game but more, its longer, better controlls weapons vehicles, better bosses, story and character. As well as better graphics/sound and level design. If you liked the fist game buy this, heck if your a fan of Phantasy Star Online back on the dreamcast/gc buy this. Its a awesome RPG. Its coop is what fallout 3 should off been like.
Cons: Besides the minor bugs ud exspect from a game this big its perfect.

Game of the year definitly!
This review is from: Borderlands 2 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: This game is beyond what its expectations were, seriously! I Played the first Borderlands three times over with all the expansions. This one blew me away~ The characters play flawlessly and the talent trees given are very easy to customize and understand, I hear complaints about B2 being a bit easier than the first, but once you beat the game (which is standard to easy for some i gather) and you play the game a second time around its a whole new ball game with harder badies and bosses. Tons of quests to do and a real sense of accomplishment when the game is finished not to mention the Bazziliooon guns you aquire threw your hardships. The graphics fall on cel shading as did the first which is a fantastic way to represent the graphics. 5 Characters to choose from as of last week. The story is very fun and amazing, if you want the full experience i'd say to buy borderlands 1 then switch over to 2. As there are some major plot spoilers. This game ranks 11 out of 10. Just played threw the first expansion and it was fantastic. A great game better to play with friends or by yourself. Borderlands to me personaly is what Mario bro's was to me back in the 80s.! That is saying alot!
Cons: Only Con would be that theres even a Con box on newegg for borderlands 2. Buy the game invite a friend!

A Bazillion Guns!
This review is from: Borderlands 2 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: A Bazillion Guns! Oh, and large open areas to explore and a awesome skill tree and four really charaters to use and they added a much deeper story to the game and the controls have been tweaked to perfection.
Cons: $10 dollars for 1 extra charater? The Mechromancer. This is asking a little to much on top of the asking price for the game.

Excellent game...newegg, meh
This review is from: Borderlands 2 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Great game, same humor as original. Takes some getting used to with the differences, especially if you played the first one a lot. Well worth the money for the amount of gameplay I've gotten out of it so far.
Cons: Not much bad I can say about it though I did agree with another poster about Scooter or even Zed not being the same. The one egg loss was for newegg not honoring pre-order bonus content. So it's not a refection of the game but on newegg.

This review is from: Borderlands 2 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: It's Borderlands. You know what to expect. Kill tons of stuff, enjoy the humor.
Cons: I don't care much for the menu redesign (skills, backpack, etc.), and the dialog is annoying. Never bring back characters unless you are true to their previous style. Scooter isn't as fun anymore, for example.

Im satisfied I guess.
This review is from: Borderlands 2 Xbox 360 Game
Pros: -Very good game, enjoyed the first very much and Ill probably have this one beat within the day.
Cons: The 10$ gift card that was supposed to come with it isnt there, even though it shows up on the receipt.(not really a big deal because its just 10$ and I didnt expect it to come anyways.)
Other Thoughts: perhaps shipping it in a box like the rest of the games I ordered instead of a paper envelope may, "MAY" help with the lazy and carelessness of the UPS shipping team.

PLAYERS: Rafael Benitez
Roberto Di Matteo says he leaves Chelsea with his head held high despite his dismissal as manager. Di Matteo's reign at Stamford Bridge lasted just 262 days - six more than his predecessor Andre Villas-Boas - but during his short time in charge they won the Champions League and FA Cup. Di Matteo was dismissed in the early hours of Wednesday morning after Chelsea's 3-0 Champions League defeat to Juventus. Later the same day Rafael Benitez was appointed as interim manager until the end of the season. Di Matteo said: "I am extremely proud of the successes and trophies that we were able to bring to the club in recent months. "Lifting Chelsea 's first Champions League trophy in Munich was the best achievement in the club's history and without doubt the highlight of my career." "I have a deep and unreserved passion for Chelsea Football Club and I would like to sincerely thank all of my staff, my players and of course the Chelsea fans for their tre...

A small group of laid off Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) workers and their supporters rallied in the shadow of their former workplace late Friday morning. They carried signs at the corner of 21st Avenue South and Medical Center Drive for onlookers and motorists that said things like "stop the injustice at Vanderbilt" and "no more cuts." Barb Bolen was among those who carried a sign and spoke about being one of an estimated 300 layoffs announced by the medical center in the first week of July. The Nashville woman ignored a long, written statement she had prepared to question why lower wage, older workers were targeted with layoffs rather than upper management."There are some tactics being used for the lower end that are just not right," she said shaking her head. "I am sure they knew to probably give a lot of people bad evaluations, so that we were the scapegoats instead of the university."Roger Sparks says his age may have been a factor when he was let go after 18-years cleaning cages in the animal research section of VUMC. "I was made to think everything was okay, doing a great job, there were no issues," he said.Sparks was one of the former workers last week who joined well-known Nashville lawyers George Barrett and Jerry Martin who are considering a class action lawsuit against VUMC.Another former worker, Jeff Bible, thought his dismissal might be a violation of federal law. "I was waiting on final approval of my Family Medical Leave Act, and of course they cut me before they had to deal with that," he said. Not all those at the rally focused on those targeted by the layoffs.Chris Coleman, a Vanderbilt graduate and lawyer at the Tennessee Justice Center, urged Governor Bill Haslam to work out a way for Tennessee hospitals like Vanderbilt to receive payments from Medicaid expansion money that is part of President Obama's sweeping health care law."Things like today are only going to get worse, you are going to see more layoffs, more department closings, not just at Vanderbilt, but throughout the state," he said at the rally. Coleman estimated that Vanderbilt University Medical Center delivers "$500 million in uncompensated care yearly."Coleman said the Medicaid expansion was meant to help cover a large share of those who do not have health care coverage. As a result, hospitals like Vanderbilt would not have such a large burden of uncompensated care. Vanderbilt has said its policy is not to comment on personnel matters, but in a July 15 Vanderbilt Medical Center website message, Vice-Chancellor for Health Affairs Dr. Jeff Balser spoke of some of the numbers behind the layoffs. He said $100 million dollars is being reduced this current fiscal year's budget and $250 million by the next fiscal year. That's about eight-percent of its current $3.3 billion budget during the next two years.

Minnesota adds 15,500 jobs in January
Thursday, March 1, 2012
2012 started out with a hiring surge, the Star Tribune reports, with 15,500 jobs added to Minnesota's economy in the month of January. This brings the state's unemployment rate to 5.6%, well below the national rate of 8.3%. And more good news may be in the offing — in the article, UST economics professor Mel Gray notes that he sees "some underlying strengths that have not been tapped yet."

Boob prejudice is a sickening fact of life. Please help to stamp it out. Just read what Bre has to say. It's enough to make a grown man jack. "By sixth grade, I was already in a D-cup bra, and everybody said I stuffed my bra. I would get so mad, and I would start crying because I was so little. I was really, really little, and all these girls were tall and lanky, and I was short and cute with boobs, and they had no boobs at all. One time, we were at this pep rally and all these guys were saying, 'You stuff your bra! You stuff it with toilet paper!' I lifted up my shirt and I said, 'Yeah, that's right. I stuff it with my titties.' I got in trouble and got suspended. I was always getting in trouble in school. That's why I had to do home school. I would always get sent to ISS [in-school suspension] for wearing little skirts and little tops. I hated school because I always got into trouble for no reason, because of what I wore."

Il turco in Italia - Further information
Gioachino Rossini
Felice Romani
World première on August 14, 1814 in Teatro alla Scala, Milan
The strange and the exotic always seem initially to be particularly attractive to many people. Yet when cultures clash, dealings between people are not always free of friction and occasionally even great misunderstandings. Such situations are very welcome territory for opera composers; Gioachino Rossini, for example, first had an Italian woman stranded in Algiers in 1813 and a year later sent a Turkish man on a study tour to Italy, where he first had to learn that, unlike the custom in his own country, one could not simply buy a woman from her husband. Perhaps it is the way this opera winks at the symptoms of a multi-culti society that has caused ever many more opera houses to include Il turco in Italia in their repertoires in recent years.
For the story of this opera, the librettist Felice Romani used a text by Mazzolà which had already been set to music in 1788. The protagonist is the Turkish prince Selim, who wants to make a study of European customs. Prosdocimo, a poet, senses subject matter for his newcomedy as he has only shortly before got to know Zaida, the mistress Selim has cast aside, in a gipsy camp. In addition to this, Fiorilla, a capricious woman, is attracted to the rich prince, a fact which neither her husband, Don Geronio, nor her lover, Don Narciso, find particularly amusing. Zaida is also not exactly enthusiastic about her Italian rival. Can the poet solve these conflicts and unite the right couples? And which are the right couples?

KINGSTON ŌĆō Whether or not the University of Rhode Island menŌĆÖs basketball team deserved to beat Charlotte Saturday afternoon is irrelevant.
It didnŌĆÖt matter how it looked, because when the Rams left the Ryan Center, the scoreboard read Rams 71, Guest 70.
Akeem Richmond missed a jumper from the right corner with three seconds left in overtime, but Jamal Wilson was in the right place at the right time ŌĆō and got away with the right move ŌĆō for a putback just before the buzzer in overtime, giving the Rams the dramatic one-point win to finish off an incredible second half for URI.
WEST WARWICK ŌĆö When you mention the name Garrick, immediately the West Warwick Wizards boysŌĆÖ basketball team comes to mind and images conjure up of Tom and Stace filling the baskets on a nightly basis back in the early 80ŌĆÖs and again in 2000.
Both would go onto score over 1,000 points in their illustrious careers sporting the black and orange.
Their legacy left an indelible mark on fans and assured the name Garrick would forever be synonymous with other greats who have played boys basketball in West Warwick alongside Bill Robinson and Chuck Palumbo.
Billy Baron - son of URI men's basketball coach Jim - made his first statements to the media since announcing he was transferring from Virginia to URI.
Here are a few of his comments.
(On the decision)
-ItŌĆÖs good to be back home. I missed my family, I missed being home. Just being able to play for my father, you know. Virginia was great, a lot of great opportunities coming out of there, great people there, great coaching staff. Just the fact of coming home, you only have one of them.
(On being at UVA)
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION ŌĆō For most basketball teams, the recent snowfall of the region was not welcomed as it put a halt to recent games.
But for the West Warwick Wizards, it may have been a blessing in disguise.
After losing three straight games last week, the WizardsŌĆÖ game Friday against Westerly was cancelled which afforded the team much needed practice time and a chance to regroup and gain its confidence.
Chariho was the unfortunate victim of a rejuvenate WizardsŌĆÖ squad as they dismantled the Chargers 77-44.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö A little dose of humility will hurt on first application, but the benefits of it will pay off in the long run.
Back on Jan. 17 in the third dual meet ŌĆō and oddly enough, the final dual meet of the season ŌĆō the West Warwick boys indoor track team, even though it swept both Smithfield and Cranston East, were a bit humbled because its individual performances.
Since that proverbial wake-up call, the coaching staff in the ensuing practices told the Wizards that they were better than that and the team hasnŌĆÖt peaked yet.
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆö Defense was the biggest reason the Feinstein Middle School girls basketball team went on the road and upset two Southern Division opponents in the RIPCOA playoffs.
The Falcons, in victories over Narragansett and Westerly, allowed just 34.5 points a game to reach the quarterfinals Tuesday afternoon against Southern Division co-champion Davisville of North Kingstown.
COVENTRY ŌĆö It was a classic spot on the schedule for the Coventry Oakers to fall into the dreaded ŌĆśtrapŌĆÖ game.
After winning eight of their last nine games, including MondayŌĆÖs big win over then number one in team Division I St. Raphael Academy, the Oakers had a date with the 2-16 South Kingstown Rebels.
With a four oŌĆÖclock start and a smaller than usually fan base on hand, Coventry was able to muster up the energy necessary to fight off the pesky Rebels for a 75-60 victory.

Until last week, Ben McAdams had not decorated the Salt Lake County mayor's office he inherited Jan. 7 from Peter Corroon.
He hadn't had time, not that it mattered much since he was rarely there, having been steadily on the go since even before his inauguration.
Some McAdams moves in first 100 days
Fulfilled a pledge to be bipartisan, hiring Republican Taylorsville Mayor Russ Wall as his public works director.
Put more county attention on unincorporated communities, creating township executive position to respond directly to their needs.
Got to know more about those issues through a series of meetings in townships.
Helped secure funding for an environmental impact statement to examine transportation issues in the Wasatch Mountains' canyons.
Oversaw finalization of contracts to keep the Outdoor Retailer trade shows in Salt Lake City through 2016 and govern the ownership and operations of the Utah Performing Arts Center.
Agreed to participate with Draper in an effort to develop land around the city's FrontRunner station.
Staked a claim to a seat on the board that will determine the Utah State Prison's future.
Came close to securing state funding for part of a 1,000-room hotel near the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center.
Office decorations a nod to county, family
Mayor Ben McAdams' office decorations include:
A photograph of county-owned Rose Canyon in the Oquirrh Mountains, a reminder of "how we need to be actively working to preserve open space and outdoor recreation."
A poster of a FrontRunner train that he hopes to pair with a poster of a TRAX train on the new airport line.
Drawings by youths that "show what we have in the community, what's good about Salt Lake County."
A photograph of his family at his inauguration ceremony.
Ceramic masterpieces crafted by his kids.

Right away, McAdams launched a series of meetings across the townships, following up on a campaign commitment to pay closer attention to unincorporated communities.
Then the former Democratic state senator was up on Capitol Hill, lobbying the GOP-led Legislature for county-related bills, most notably seeking state funding for a convention-center headquarters hotel (he failed) and an environmental study of transportation in the Wasatch Mountains (he succeeded).
Along the way, he also did what mayors do — building his staff, attending County Council and other meetings, going to dedications, traveling to national conferences.
"There's not enough time in a day to do everything we want to do," McAdams said in an interview Wednesday, the 100th day of his term. Still, he added, "We hit the ground running and feel good about where we are. We've accomplished a lot of things right out of the gate."
Two veteran county councilmen, Republican Michael Jensen and Democrat Jim Bradley, have been impressed with McAdams' debut.
"Overall, I'd give him a pretty decent grade," said Jensen, a Magna resident and Unified Fire Authority chief.
"In our [Republican] caucus, we feel like we have a good working relationship with the mayor," he added. "We're not going to agree with everything he wants. We have different ways and styles of doing things. But we all feel he'll listen to what our side wants."
Bradley, who has been on the council as long as Jensen (since 2001) and was a county commissioner before that, said, "I can't think of anything to complain about."
While he had initial concerns about McAdams' age — he's 38 — Bradley said the mayor quickly bridged the generation gap with older bureaucrats and councilmen. "He didn't let the age difference bother him," Bradley said. "He is very bright, thoughtful and understands the strategies of politics and getting things done. And his hires have been excellent."
Both councilmen praised McAdams for retaining Nichole Dunn from the Corroon administration as deputy mayor, guiding a smooth transition between Democratic executives.
They also were pleased by the mayor's first new hire — selecting Taylorsville Mayor Russ Wall, a Republican, to run public works and shifting former department director Patrick Leary into a new post as "township executive," essentially the city manager for 160,000 unincorporated-area residents.
"Being an unincorporated-area resident myself, I really like that," said Jensen. Added Bradley: "It's a terrific strategy and responsive to the needs of unincorporated people who now feel they have a relationship with the county."
McAdams said last fall's unsuccessful effort to make Millcreek a city convinced him that "We could do a better job giving [unincorporated-area residents] more direct representation."
Besides making Leary a point person to handle their concerns, McAdams embarked on his township tour to learn about the disparate issues that concern people from Copperton to Emigration Canyon. "It was a great opportunity to listen," the mayor said.
Joan Gallegos, of the Emigration Canyon Community Council, said residents there appreciated McAdams' responses to their bicycle-safety and trash-collection concerns.
"I guess the honeymoon phase continues because he has paid attention to our issues," she said, particularly citing Leary's appointment. "We now have a voice and better communication and a person we can address our concerns to and hold accountable."
McAdams also has actively promoted economic development across numerous fronts, completing a couple of initiatives begun under Corroon.
The county signed ownership and operating agreements with Salt Lake City for the downtown Utah Performing Arts Center. Another agreement guaranteed the lucrative, twice-yearly Outdoor Retailer markets will continue coming to the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center through 2016.
In addition, the county agreed to participate in a Community Development Area (CDA) around Draper's FrontRunner station, giving up as much as $36.4 million in new sales-tax revenue from the site over the next 20 years in return for the prospect of developing a complex of high-rise office towers for high-tech companies that could be worth upward of $1 billion.Next Page >

Photo with 10 notes
Say you're the South Korean government and you want to drum up a fresh round of sympathetic press coverage about Dokdo (Takeshima to the Japanese). What do you do? You invite a dozen foreign journalists to visit the disputed islets, sit back and wait for reporters to file their stories.
Ta-da! Dokdo makes the front page of the Washington Post and scores some airtime on CNN. Neither story reveals anything new, but both inevitably focus on the Korean perspective of the dispute due to the simple fact that you won't find any Japanese people to interview on Dokdo. See? Foolproof press strategy.
The CNN report is worth watching to take in the striking beauty of the islets and to hear the awkward but diplomatically neutral way that the network's Seoul correspondent signs off: "Paula Hancocks, CNN, on the disputed islands of Dokdo or Takeshima."
I hate Dokdo so much.

Lauderdale County deputies are looking for an escapee awaiting trial on a rape charge.
Keith Lamar Beckwith escaped from a work detail Friday morning.
Investigators said Beckwith was last seen wearing a blue hoodie, a blue shirt, and jeans.
Investigators said Beckwith is accused of raping a child under the age of 12.
He is scheduled to go to trial on April 15th.
Court documents show a judge revoked his bond last month after he pleaded guilty to assault, but he received work release status this week.
If you have seen Beckwith, contact the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department.

Membership Subscriptions 2013/2014
Hi, subscriptions are now due so hopefully all concerned will be kind enough to pay their 'dues' as quickly as possible. There is no mystery as to what one has to pay as the categories are pretty straight forward. (See under Membership) However an important addition to the categories is the Family Membership and will be helpful to families who may have a few kids interested in playing and of course Mum and Dad will automatically be full members also and have the same entitlements as every other member - not the least of which is an entitlement to apply for 'ticket's'.
I'm stressing here the mad scramble every year for Heineken Cup, Autumn Internationals as well as Six Nation Rugby tickets which can sometimes but not always be as rare as 'hen's teeth' and are only available to fully paid up members – so there are advantages of membership.
September 2013
Skibbereen will be glad to see the end of September not having a great start to the season thus far. Poor results early on against Bandon (Jimmy Kingston Trophy) and Kinsale in a friendly helped pave the way for their first round match against near neighbours Clonakilty in the first round of the County Cup on the 22nd September at home. Here we saw a much better performance all round with the new players performing very well indeed. Though Clonakilty stole the honours on the day 20 - 15 there was nothing much between the sides. Skibbereen competed well right to the whistle when a surge to the line - had it continued - would probably have been enough to win the match- but instead an incomplete pass let Clon off the hook. A fine performance nonetheless and every reason to be optimistic as we start the season proper on the 6th October against Tralee at home.
October 2013
Unfortunately we let the Tralee game slip away from us in the final three minutes and the visitors took the spoils on a scoreline of 16 - 19. Click here for match report. Next Sunday the J1 are away to St. Mary's in Limerick with the usual kick-off at 2.30pm.
On Sunday also we went under to a strong Bandon side in the J2 League South also at the home venue 6 - 25. Click here for match report.
Skibbereen travelled to Limerick on Sunday 13th and lost to the host sideSt. Mary's 7 - 34 - not a great day at the office. Click here for match report
Sunday last 20th October we recorded our first win in the league this season beating mallow 15 - 13. Click here for match report
November: Not a great start to the month going down to NewcastleWest 10 - 16 on the 4th. - Click here for Munster Branch brief report.
Thankfully back to winning ways on the 11th when registering a home win 16 - 10 against Waterpark RFC in atrocious conditions. Click here for match report
Bad day at the office on Sunday last 17th against Old Christians going down 9-14 - Click here for match report.
Not the kind of start we wanted for December going down to Galbally 10 - 15 should be grateful for the losing bonus point inder the circumstances.
2013 - 2014 All-Ireland Junior Cup Despite the flooding in town Skibbereen were happy to travel to the Vale in Clonakilty on Saturday last to play Ballina RFC - and in doing so recorded a famous victory 36 - 18. Our thanks to neighbours Clonakilty for the use of their pitch - it is very much appreciated - and was in perfect condition - and even the weather stayed dry for the 80 minutes
So another first for the Club in progressing to the next stage of this prestigious competition and based on last Saturday's performance we can hold our heads high and approach the next match with confidence. Click here for match report
Fast forward to 23 rd November 2013 and we entertained Tralee in round 2 of this prestigous competition and what a day it was. A truly marvelloue day for the Club and players and a great win 17 - 10 to bring us to the last 4. See match report here.

We entertain Muskerry in a crucial League match this coming Sunday - a win is necessary if we are to have any chance of holding our J1 status .
That win was secured 15 - 10 after a thrilling battle that went right to the wire. A tough physical match we held on by the fingertips despite massive pressure in the closing minutes. See match report here.
Travelled to Kanturk on the 16th and gave a powerful performance - should have won - certainly the better side on the day . The referee unfairly in my view awarded a penalty try midway through the second half while we led 5 - 3. That 'gift' was more of a psychological blow than anything else - it was'nt warranted - I think Kanturk were as surprised as we were. We could still have won it after that and had plenty of chances - but it was not to be. However we did salvage a loser's bonus point. Still in danger of relegation - not out of the woods yet. See match report here.
Sunday 23rd we are away to Dungarvan in the Munster Junior Challenge Cup - Section A . Kick-off down for 2.30 pm. Win 39 - 0
March 2014
Bad weather and unplayable pitch put paid to the Clonmel fixture on the 2nd - will now take place on Sunday 16th at home. We had a big game away to Cobh on the 9th - big in that we were still not completely out of the woods re relegation, so it was a very important fixture. As things turned out we won on the day with a marvellous finishing try courtesy of a Dave Shannon / Cian Keegan partnership in the 85th minute i'm told. So a great finish and the win consolidates our position for the 2014/2015 season. See report here.
Next Sunday the 16th we entertain Clonmel for the last League game of the current season when a similar result is sought - to finish on a high.
Sadly the result was not as we would have liked. We had a poor enough first half and dominated the second half - had plenty of opportunities to score but couldn't put the points on the board. Click here for match report

This ensures that the customized route we provide to your parking lot is supported by the overall traffic management plan, resulting in a more efficient flow of event traffic.
Is tailgating allowed in my lot?
This is determined on an event or venue basis by the owner of the venue/property, not by Click and Park. See event parking details or contact the venue directly for more information.
How does Click and Park deliver a purchased parking permit?
This varies from event to event. Standard options include US postal service, 3 day service and overnight service, each priced separately. The majority of our permits are delivered via email for fastest service.
Is ClickandPark.com a secure site?
Yes. We use secure socket layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your transaction. We also encrypt your personal and financial information as it travels over the Internet, and store your financial information in encrypted form. Our customer service representatives are not given access to your credit card information so you will be asked to verify complete information upon each call. Please see our Privacy Policy for additional information.
What methods of payment does Click and Park accept?
Click and Park accepts Visa, MasterCard & American Express via our secure, online payment system.
What if the event for which I have purchased parking is rescheduled or canceled?
Event postponement and/or cancellation decisions are made by event management. If an event is postponed, parking permits typically will be honored at the rescheduled date and time. Canceled event refunds are provided per event management instruction. Please contact customer service at 866-330-PARK for specific information regarding your event.
Why can I only purchase a limited number of permits?
This policy reflects the weight limitation of each delivery method (in those instances where parking permits are shipped) and also discourages unfair parking permit buying and selling practices.
Are there different permits and costs associated with cars, RVs, buses, etc?
Yes. Each vehicle type has a unique permit type and associated cost. Car permits will not work for RVs , buses or vice versa.
Can I arrive anytime before or during the event and still be able to park?
Event and parking times vary. Please check your permit details to see when your selected parking lot opens. Your parking permit is valid through the end of the event, after which time the lot owner retains the right to re-sell your parking spot.
Is my parking space guaranteed?
Yes. Once purchased, your parking space will be waiting for your arrival. In case a parking lot becomes unusable due to inclement weather, Click and Park reserves the right to re-direct you to another parking lot.
I am an international customer. How do I purchase permits?
Representatives are available 24/7 at 866-330-PARK(7275) to assist you with your order.
Is the Click and Park reservation system available for all events?
No. Click and Park's service is only available to those events or venues who choose to partner with the Click and Park system. Event or venue managers interested in using Click andPark may contact us or review our services on the client section of this website.
Why do I have to enter the number of passengers per vehicle, and what if that number changes?
Entering the number of passengers in your vehicle simply assists event organizers and traffic law enforcement with valuable statistical information. This is an approximate number and changing the number does not affect the validity of the permit.
Can I change my point of origin for my customized directions?
Yes. At the bottom of the email containing your customized directions, you will be able to change your starting address. You may also go into "My Orders" at ClickandPark.com, enter your account information and click on the green tab stating "Get your directions here." You may change your starting point there.
Why is a parking lot available today that wasn't posted yesterday?
Event or venue managers may designate which lots they would like to sell first in order to assist with traffic planning and effective staffing. As lots fill to capacity, our system will open additional lots.
What if I entered my personal information incorrectly?
Please call our customer service department at 866-330-PARK(7275) and a representative will gladly update your information. Representatives are available 24/7 to assist you. Orders already processed are not able to be re-routed.
