There are many reasons why a child or young person can't be with their birth family but by fostering them you can help them stay in their community and school, close to their family and friends.
We need foster carers to help this happen. In Surrey over 830 children are in care, and of these around 80% are in foster care. Watch this short film about a Surrey foster carer.
If you could help change a child or young person's life, have a spare room and are considering fostering please contact us.
We can:
When children come into the care of the local authority, we will look for the placement that best meets their needs. Unless it is unsafe to do so, we will always try to place the child close to their family, friends and to their school. We ensure that all our resources go to the care of the children and their foster carers. Why not come along to an open evening and hear one of our foster carers and fostered young people talk about what it's like to foster with us? If you are interested in joining us, call us on 08000 969626 or email email@example.com and read our transfer protocol. You can also read our Ofsted report on our fostering services.

S3 Pommier
I got these skies a few years ago and cant be happier with them! Long story short I skied since i was 3, started snowboarding at 12, and now I mostly snowboard. I bought these skies because I wanted to have skies to ride on super powder days or when I wanted to show off in the park. These are by far the best skies I have owned. The ONLY con is that they scratch easy.

Long-term warming and environmental change trends persist in the Arctic in 2013
According to a new report released today by NOAA and its partners, cooler temperatures in the summer of 2013 across the central Arctic Ocean, Greenland and northern Canada moderated the record sea ice loss and extensive melting that the surface of the Greenland ice sheet experienced last year. Yet there continued to be regional extremes, including record low May snow cover in Eurasia and record high summer temperatures in Alaska.
"The Arctic caught a bit of a break in 2013 from the recent string of record-breaking warmth and ice melt of the last decade," said David M. Kennedy, NOAA's deputy under secretary for operations, during a press briefing today at the American Geophysical Union annual meeting in San Francisco. "But the relatively cool year in some parts of the Arctic does little to offset the long-term trend of the last 30 years: the Arctic is warming rapidly, becoming greener and experiencing a variety of changes, affecting people, the physical environment, and marine and land ecosystems."
Kennedy joined other scientists to release the Arctic Report Card 2013, which has, since 2006, summarized changing conditions in the Arctic. One hundred forty-seven authors from 14 countries contributed to the peer-reviewed report.
What if all the ice melted?
The ocean holds most of Earth's water. After that, it's ice. 5.7 million cubic miles of the stuff.
What if, thanks to natural and man-made climate change, it all melted? What if, by burning enough deep-Earth carbon (dead dinosaurs, prehistoric plants, or as we call it… fossil fuels) we raised Earth's average temperature to around 80˚ F?
Thanks to National Geographic we know: This is is what 216 feet (66 meters) of sea level change looks like.

US Renewable Energy Tops Record in 2012
Americans produced a record amount of solar and wind energy in 2012, and will likely continue doing so this year with government tax incentives and technological advancements in renewable energy.
High five, America.
From the Chasing Ice website:
In the spring of 2005, acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment for National Geographic: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth's changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.
Chasing Ice is the story of one man's mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers.
As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether. Battling untested technology in subzero conditions, he comes face to face with his own mortality. It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet.
This documentary looks incredible. Has anyone seen it?
A new study suggests record warming is in store for us: By observing several indirect temperature indicators, researchers looking at weather patterns since the end of the last Ice Age are predicting that average surface temperatures will be at their highest point in human experience by the end of this century.

Big Story, Interesting Font: The Trouble With Climate Change
It's getting hot this year. So take off your warm clothes. Here's the story | Here's the font
This might be the best video describing Arctic ice melt I've ever seen. It is also the scariest. The Arctic is the Earth's air conditioner. It helps regulate temperatures around the globe in a variety of ways. Most importantly, the Arctic provides stability. Once the ice is melted, the system blows up and gets all out of wack. It impacts everything from fisheries to weather to coastal infrastructure to animal habitat. Click here to read an easy summary by WaPo for more reasons why this matters.
I've seen, heard, read, viewed, participated, and debated dozens and dozens of aspects of climate change. This one, this video, is one of the best explainers of how much trouble the Earth is in.
…produced by independent videographer Peter Sinclair for The Yale Forum on Climate Change & The Media explains what expert scientists now find to be the lowest extent of Arctic sea ice in recorded history.
Ocean Temps Reach Record Highs in Northeast
During the first six months of 2012, sea surface temperatures in the Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem were the highest ever recorded, according to the latest Ecosystem Advisory issued by NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC). Above-average temperatures were found in all parts of the ecosystem, from the ocean bottom to the sea surface and across the region, and the above average temperatures extended beyond the shelf break front to the Gulf Stream.
The annual 2012 spring plankton bloom was intense, started earlier and lasted longer than average. This has implications for marine life from the smallest creatures to the largest marine mammals like whales. Atlantic cod continued to shift northeastward from its historic distribution center.

Canada set to announce Kyoto pullout
Environment Minister Peter Kent is expected to announce Monday that Canada is formally withdrawing from the Kyoto accord. The decision to do so will save the government an estimated $7 billion in financial penalties. The Conservative government says it has no choice given the economic situation.

Climate Change and Extreme Weather
Climate change increases the risk of record-breaking extreme weather events that threaten communities across the country. In 2011, there were at least 2,941 monthly weather records broken by extreme events that struck communities in the US.
Want to do something about it? Send a message to Congress, asking them to uphold the Clean Air Act and clean up the carbon pollution that drives climate change.
Climate change episode of Frozen Planet won't be shown in the U.S. as viewers don't believe in global warming
An episode of the BBC's Frozen Planet documentary series that looks at climate change has been scrapped in the U.S., where many are hostile to the idea of global warming.
British viewers will see all seven episodes of the multi-million-pound nature series throughout the Autumn.
But U.S. audiences will not be shown the last episode, which looks at the threat posed by man to the natural world.
It is feared a show that preaches global warming could upset viewers in the U.S., where around half of people do not believe in climate change.
Strange… according to a recent Stanford University/Reuters/Ipsos poll, approximately 83% of Americans believe that climate change and global warming are happening right now. 71% of these people believe that global warming is at least in part the fault of human civilization. Only 15% of adults surveyed believe that global warming is not currently occurring. These skeptics are yet only 53% certain of their belief.
The fact that this program is supposedly not being shown because it will be too "controversial" for American audiences smells fishy to me.
Environmental Group Breaks the Silence on Population Control
Major American environmental groups have dodged the subject of population control for decades, wary of getting caught up in the bruising politics of reproductive health.
Yet, virtually alone, the Center for Biological Diversity is breaking the taboo by directly tying population growth to environmental problems through efforts like giving away condoms in colorful packages depicting endangered animals. The idea is to start a debate about how overpopulation crowds out species and hastens climate change — just when the world is welcoming Baby No. 7 Billion.
A new climate study shows that since the mid-1950s, global average temperatures over land have risen by 0.9 degrees Celsius (1.6 degrees Fahrenheit), confirming previous studies that have found a climate that has been warming – in fits and starts – since around 1900.

Midday on the fly: SuperValu gains, ViroPharma loses
Stocks on Wall Street were lower at midday, threatening to extend the market's slide to a fifth straight session.
After the wholesale inventories report for February the averages began to weaken. The selling accelerated in the last hour, pushing each of the major indices to session lows and down over 1%.
Near noon, the Dow was down 158.14, or 1.22%, to 12,771.45; the Nasdaq was down 44.90, or 1.47%, to 3,002.18; and the S&P 500 was down 19.25, or 1.39%, to 1,362.95.
Economic events
Domestically, the NFIB small business optimism index fell to 92.5 in March. U.S. wholesale inventories rose 0.9% in February, versus analysts' estimates of an increase of 0.5%. The Labor Department said employers posted 3.5 million job openings in February, up just barely from a revised 3.48 million in January.
Internationally, China reported an unexpected trade surplus in March, as imports rose 5.3% and exports increased 8.9% from a year earlier for a surplus of $5.35 billion. Also, Spain's borrowing costs rose again to hit their highest levels since December.
Company news
Best Buy (BBY) announced its CEO Brian Dunn resigned, citing a mutual agreement that new leadership was needed at the company. Shares spiked initially but then reversed to be down 3.5% near noon.
Sony (SNE) more than doubled its projected annual loss to $6.4 billion as it writes off deferred tax credits, sending its stock down over 10%.
Major movers
Among the notable gainers were X-Rite Incorporated (XRIT), up 39%, after Danaher (DHR) agreed to acquire the company for $5.55 per share, and SuperValu (SVU), up 9%, following quarterly adjusted earnings and guidance that beat estimates. Noteworthy losers included ViroPharma (VPHM), down 16.5%, after Akorn (AKRX), Watson (WPI) and a third company gained approval and launched generic versions of its Vancocin drug, and Optimer (OPTR), down about 10%, following a warning that first-quarter revenue will miss consensus.

The Encounter Youth Center in downtown Duluth tomorrow celebrates a big anniversary with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m., 10 years to the day from its inception. A comedy event and fundraiser will follow on Sunday at Clyde Iron Works.
The center, operated by Youth for Christ, opened as a place for young people to interact in a positive and safe environment; the 38,000 square-feet building houses an indoor skate park, two concert venues and a full gymnasium.
The center has seen more than 100,000 young people pass through its doors since it opened, and receives about 600 visits per year. It also seeks to raise another $200,000 in the next couple of months to pay the remaining debt on the building, at which point resources would focus solely on programs for young people and operations.
Both events are open to the public. Tickets for the Encounter Comedy Cafe on Sunday -- from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. -- are $25 and go to support programming at the center.

The Curious Curio: Glass, Steel & Iron Cabinets
Decor Styles Sourcelist: Warm Industrial
Glass and metal is a gorgeous combination and a classic staple in warm industrial style. As throwbacks to pharmacies, apothecaries and spice shops of the past, these cabinets will display and organize your belongings or collections to your heart's content.
Glass and metal, be it iron or steel, is a bit ironic, a case of opposites attract. Glass is all about delicacy and is easily shattered. In contrast, metals like iron and steel are all about strength and are extremely malleable. This combination of materials makes these cabinets a marriage made in heaven.
Shown above from left to right:
1. Sterling 70" Tall Cabinet, $899.00 from Crate & Barrel
2. Klingsbo Glass-door cabinet, black, clear glass, $129.00 from Ikea
3. Multiple Shelf Glass Cabinet, $(Contact for pricing) from Neelam Furniture
4. Pharmacy Bath Cart, $399.00 from Pottery Barn

There's not a chance I would pay $400 for that tiny bath cart... It's cute, but come on!
I agree that these particular specimens are horrendously overpriced, but I do love this look. Sometimes you need a break from wood, stuff like this fills the gap.
These are really great but so impossible to find in my neck of the woods. And when they do come up, they are a fortune because they're so rare. There has to be a good DIY in this somewhere. Thanks for the great inspirations!
Omg, can anyone tell me where I could find tile like those in the first picture: 1. Sterling 70" Tall Cabinet, $899.00 from Crate & Barrel?
@Laura Jayne the keyword you're looking for is "basketweave" tile

The AJC's Mr. Basketball reflected on his recruiting trip to UGA on Wednesday night, said he will visit Georgia Tech within the next few days, and confirmed that yet another national powerhouse has made recent contact.
Who is the new school interested in Westlake High's Marcus Thornton? It's none other than North Carolina and coach Roy Williams. Thornton confirmed only that he has talked with the Tar Heels, and politely declined further comment at this time. He wouldn't say whether or not it was too late in the process to consider another school.
But the 6-foot-7 power forward had plenty to say about his recruiting trip to UGA on Monday: "The Georgia coaches said I'd be the first Mr. Georgia Basketball to go to UGA in a long time," Thornton said in an email. "It will be an opportunity to help (the program) turn around, help Georgia to become a powerhouse, and begin to attract other top in-state players."
Thornton on UGA coach Mark Fox: "Coach Fox likes for his team to get up and down the floor. He likes to run the triangle offense, which is the offense that was used for both Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Coach Fox seems to know how to get the best out of each player."
Thornton on his role at UGA: "Coach Fox says Georgia is in need of a versatile 3-man and felt that I could develop into that role in their system. He also felt that there was a chance for me to step in and compete early, with Travis Leslie playing more of the 2-man."
Academics will also be a major factor in the college decision for Thornton, who is an Honor Student with a 3.7 GPA. Thornton's parents, Billy and Meril, were impressed with UGA president Michael Adams and athletics director Damon Evans.
"As a former UGA athlete, (Evans) exhibited the most passion when he talked about the many resources and policies he has put in place to improve the academic success and graduation rate of UGA student-athletes," Billy said. "For example, he has instituted a 'zero tolerance' policy for habitual 'missed classes' by UGA athletes. Violation results in an automatic multi-game suspension."
What's next for Thornton? He will meet with Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt over the next few days, and then decide between Texas, UGA, Georgia Tech and Alabama before or on his high graduation date of May 21.
Thornton originally signed with Clemson, but was granted a release from his letter-of-intent from the Tigers after coach Oliver Purnell was hired away by DePaul. Purnell was a main reason Thornton picked Clemson. Over the past month, Thornton turned into one of college basketball's hottest prospects, fielding more than a dozen offers, including Kentucky, Florida, Michigan and Memphis.
As a senior, Thornton led Westlake to the state championship game in Georgia's largest classification, averaging 24 points and 12 rebounds.

Well, all I can say is that coach MF pretty much hit the nail on the head in describing the impact Marcus can have at Georgia. Land him and a couple top players next year and the Stegasaurus will be rocking on a regular basis. I want to see that place become a place where other teams fear to tread!

Marcus, amongst the schools you are considering, Coach Fox is by far the best teaching coach. Is there more glamour in playing at other places than UGA, no doubt, but two things are certain: 1) you'll be prepared when the time comes for you to step into the NBA 2) you'll be revered by your home state folks for the rest of your life. Coach Fox, Trey Thompkins,Travis Leslie are building it…come be the man who solidifies it.

Sorry Mr. Georgia Basketball but the worst thing about our basketball team is fan apathy! 95% of Bulldog nation just does not care about the basketball team. Sure we'd like to hear (not watch) that the team is doing well but we really could care less. I would still love to see you come to Athens but that is as a selfish fan. Reality and compassion insist I give you forewarning to go elsewhere where basketball is appreciated rather than treated as a stepchild by the fans.

You Tech fans can say what you want about UGA b-ball but it's not like you have a

He had the second most talented team in the conference and still below .500

UGADAWG: you are so wrong. I went to UGA when Durham was hired as a coach. As soon as he got talented players to come and started winning, people came to the games. Even when Harrick was there and they started winning, people came to the games. So stop running your mouth when you don't even know what you are talking about.

UGA goes 14-17 and their fans are pleased. Georgia Tech finishes runner-up in the ACC, makes it to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament, and yet their fans are somewhat disappointed. Need I say more about the history and expectation level of the two programs. Come to Tech Marcus, if you want to be a part of a real basketball program, one that makes the postseason regularly and has a pipeline of NBA players. Not to mention you can earn a degree from one of the top pubic colleges in America.

Curiously, in a supposed anti-incumbent year, most of the departing are not retiring but seeking higher office. We may recycle more than we replace. The bad news is that a frustrating 114 seats still have but one contestant. Two of them aren't even incumbents, meaning they will affect state policy without being vetted by voters. And I have to think that we'd be better off if many had run instead for the Legislature — and cut down on the number running unopposed. Georgia's problems are numerous. They aren't going away. There's too much stale thinking at the Capitol, on both sides of the aisle. New voices would be welcome.

Good luck to Marcus where ever you decide to go, even UGA and UNC. Smart kid that wants a quality education, in addition to being a great athlete. I wish more recruiting stories involved kid's talking about getting educated as well as playing with the best against the best. Your parents should be very proud.
UGAg – While Marcus is considering your school, don't be confused that you have some how created a Basketball legacy or following. Your program(is it even a program or a football after thought?) had less fans than Illinois at a home game last year. Support your team first, then talk trash on a blog.
May 13th, 2010

Also.. he recruited Luke Babbit and Armon Johnson, both guys are potential 1st round picks this year from Nevada.
Some of you guys need to come to reality. Georgia is an up-and-coming program, with some great players, a great coach, and great academics. Georgia Tech has proven to get to the tournament and compete with the best in the country, as well as having great academics. He wouldn't be wrong to pick either school but as a Georgia fan, I think he would have a large role in continuing to turn the program around. I want to see him in the red & black and sounds like he had a great visit. If he goes to Tech or UNC, good luck to him, he's a good kid and he knows what he's doing…

May 13th, 2010
10:36 am
Also interesting you would note that Fox is assisting Babbit and Johnson develop their game for the NBA considering they are at Nevada and Fox coaches at UGa. But I did note that after Fox left Nevada, Babbit's rebounding, assists, points and FG % all went up playing roughly the same amount of minutes and starting the same amount of games. Johnson's points, FG %, field goals and assists all went up with the same amount of minutes and same amount of starts as well. But you can keep on dreaming the dream.
May 13th, 2010
10:37 am
This is official Nevada website crediting Fox with these players development. Read and decide for yourself. My thinking is if Nevada gave him credit for all this, then so do I. http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10000&ATCLID=530559
May 13th, 2010
10:43 am
I would hope that Babbit and Johnson would get better as they continue to develop. You can spin this any way you want, but Mark Fox is a great coach! Ask any coach that has played against him.

11:05 am
blord – You may be a UGA grad, but you don't know what you are talking about. Prior to Butts-Mehre, the football team had a field house where the academic center is and that is where they dressed for practice. Your comment is typical of so many here, either acting like you know something or PRETENDING to be a Dawg fan.
As far as Stegman goes, the Tech facility is no where near as nice. The coach is a nice guy, but can't coach either. I suspect he will be gone after next year.

As far as Stegman goes, the Tech facility is no where near as nice.
What a joke of a comment. Stegman is one of the worst BBall facilities in the SEC and would be the complete worst in the ACC. GT's BBall court is nice enough to welcome the WORLD for Olympic boxing. Stegman welcomes South Georgia for a freakin rodeo. BIG DIFFERENCE!

UGADawg you are such an IDIOT to say that you are for UGA and then knock a sports program like that. Go away. You should be taken outside and beaten. Go root for another program. We do NOT want your kind around here anymore. What a loser!!!
May 13th, 2010
11:47 am
We may or may not get Marcus – I am a Dawg fan who won't sit here & make any assumptions. I will say that wherever he signs, even if it's Tech or UNC or Texas, he sounds like a class kid from a GOOD family. No reason for anyone from any fan base to bash this kid – whatever he does.
My 2 cents in just the Tech vs. Georgia comparison is this: Paul Hewitt's tenure is of a dead man walking. He almost left for St. John's–but stayed at the last minute. He's underachieved for five years straight and his much higher ranked Yellow Jackets keep losing to the Dawgs. If Hewitt under achieves one more season, Georgia Tech will fire him after this year. Something for Thornton to think about.
On the other hand, Mark Fox over achieved in year one with some key victories and a very thin roster that only carried two serious players. Fox will be at UGA for a while and to most analysts at ESPN and elsewhere, is one of the best young coaches anywhere in the country. So, if Marcus is comparing coaches, things to consider.
Now Tech fans, I am not here ripping your school or anything like that. On the contrary. Tech has a great basketball history and hoops tradition. They will get that back – with the next coach. In fact, I've seen a ton of Ga Tech fans on here ripping Hewitt so I am not going out of bounds at all here from what your own fan base is saying.
Look, as a Georgia fan, we just went through 5 years of below average basketball under Dennis Felton. No way did we even deserve top recruits with a guy like Felton. Felton is thankfully gone and now we have Mark Fox who's got an amazing basketball mind and boundless energy. If Tech is smart, they'll get a Mark Fox type after they fire Hewitt.
Anyway, I am a Georgia fan not ripping Tech, just pointing out a fact about your head coach that you guys have pointed out as well.
May 13th, 2010
12:17 pm
cw maybe if he wants to play in the tourney and go to the NBA. And don't worry Mark Fox is the last coach I want at GT. Dude leads UGA to a losing record with 2 first round picks and all the sudden he is a great coach according to UGA fans. LOL
May 13th, 2010

May 13th, 2010
2:27 pm
GT Bball Fan – I've spent plenty of time in Stegeman and the 'Thrillerdome'. Tech's concourses are nicer, while Georgia' bowl on the interior is nicer. Unfortunately for the jackets, Georgia is currently redoing the entire facade and concessions area as we speak as part of a $12 million renovation. They're also updating the locker rooms. Not only that, but UGA has a state-of-the-art practice facility ($33 million) that's world-class that's attached to the Steg – that's where the player lounges are and where the players spend the vast majority of their time. Tech's basketball gym is every bit as dank and antiquated as Georgia's and you have no decent practice facility to speak of. I'm sure you've never been inside the Steg, so I wouldn't think you'd really understand, but beginning this coming hoops season, Georgia's basketball facilities will put Tech's to shame…Ask Marcus Thornton after his visit to the flats if you don't believe me.
Face it, we're rich in the SEC. It's that way because of the football deal, and in turn we're able to focus resources on hoops. Tech is poor and getting poorer every day Hewitt stays locked into that joke of a contract. It is what it is…
May 13th, 2010
2:52 pm
If this guy has a legitimate chance to go to UNC then he would be a fool not to take it. He would play in front of one of the best basketball crowds there is and play for one of the best coaches in the game today. Not to mention UNC is great academically, which he seems to care about. He would be a fool to turn all of that down. I would love for him to come to Ga Tech but UNC would be awfully hard to turn down.
May 13th, 2010
4:14 pm
Uh Charles, not that you are clue-less but Tech just build a state of the art practice facility itself. Not that the AJC would report it like they did UGa's. And the Thrillerdome is also undergoing a dramatic renovation as well. To compare the current hoops environment is a joke. Tech's is dank and antiquated? Then UGa's smells like rodeo pigslop. No comparison. Tech's is better hands down.
May 13th, 2010
5:27 pm
Tech's state-of-the-art practice facility isn't so state of the art. It's a shoddy, make-shift bunch of nothing compared to UGA's that was built on a miniscule budget. It's a total joke – that's why the AJC didn't report on it. School's around the country are building lavish facility's like UGA's, which deserves press. The one Tech built was scaled back from the original plans not just once, but twice…because your AD is completely broke. UGA's used to be used for rodeos in the old days, but no longer. The bowl is actually nicer than Tech's with fold-back, cushioned seating everywhere as opposed to bleachers, and it's actually a pretty nice place to watch a game since the last round of renovations…but I'm sure you've never been there. Believe me, I'd be up front and honest with you if Tech's were nicer…just like I said earlier about the concourses. It's just not. Sorry.
May 13th, 2010
6:41 pm
I haven't seen UGA's practice facility but GT's is pretty damn nice.
May 13th, 2010
6:47 pm
It's really not, Jason…built on a shoe-string budget and doesn't contain the player lounges and amenities the top-notch ones do…it's basically just a court.
May 13th, 2010

Ummm lets take a look at the whole picture….a chance to play along side Harrison Barnes and John Henson,inside the Smith Center for Roy Williams,you do the math

Defender: Olof Mellberg (Sweden)
Defender: Olof Mellberg (Sweden)
A symbol of calm at the back of the Swedish defence, Mellberg completed 85% of his passes in the group stages and blocked five opponents' shots (only three players blocked more). He also scored the goal that drew the Swedes level in their game against England and had three shots on target in total, the most of any defender.
Considering the fact that Germany has been the team of the tournament thus far, WHY haven't any of their players made it into this lineup???
Stephan Andersen "goalkeeper of the competition"....are they having a laugh? Surely Neuer is the best keeper out-there?
Fabio Coentrao over either Philipp Lahm, or Ashley Cole....do me a favour. Being a fullback aint just about attacking, it's also about DEFENDING....and nobody defends better in the fullback position than those latter 2 men in question.
Also where are Bastian Schweinsteiger; Mario Gomez, or Thomas Muller; Mario Mandzukic, or Luka Modric; not to mention Iker Casillas; Andres Iniesta, or Xavi Hernandez.
It will be interesting to see who comprises the eventual > Final Euro 2012 team, when everything is said & done.
A complete and utter farce this list is!!!!!! I bet it was written by Sepp Blatter, hence there are no English players in the team!!!!!!
On the subject of Blatter, England gain from a poor goalline decision and now he is all over twitter saying goalline technology must happen!!!!!!!!! Sounds very similar to what he said about penalties now that an English team has benefitted from them by way of Chelsea winning the Champions League.
I rest my case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
England produced a well disciplined performance against Ukraine and should advance with confidence to the quarter-final against Italy who will give them a hard game but are not unbeatable. Gerrard and Lescott have been the back-bone of an efficient team so far, which needs to move up a notch to gain further success and is capable of doing so.
Denmark and Sweden have gone home, France conceeded two goals in their last match!
Germany - the only team unbeaten and none of their players in the team, what about Gomez?
Gerard has been captain marvelous so far, not a mention!
Where's Iniesta, Fabregas, Asley Cole, Walcott, Pepe, any of the Greece or Czech players?
Is this just a computerised team put together through stats? If so, Milner should be on there for covering the most amount of ground for England, possibly by any player in the tournament

Well I suppose it was inevitable for a US-Mexico final. Hopefully the Mexicans will be tired for having to go into OT today. I think the key for the US is to shut down/limit Mexico's wing play (obvious)...gotta starve service from Cheech. I think Bradley and Jones can handle the central midfield but Donovan and Dempsey (maybe Bedoya?) are going to have to come up huge. I'm going to guess this is the starting lineup:
Donovan has to start this game, he's been pretty meh so far all tournament but he always comes to play against Mexico. I like Bedoya's energy on the wing, it'll allow Dempsey to drift and find pockets in between the midfield and defenders. If the game is tied or the US is behind in the second half then I'm sure Adu will see some more time. Predictions?

This venison chili is one of our all-time favorites and we thought now, with a little snow falling up north and cooler temps down south, would be a great time to see it again.
This chili recipe looks so good you'll be cryin' if you don't have any venison left in the freezer to try this next summer. Yes, it's that good. You'll consider making a batch of chili in summer. If you've put a few does in the freezer or have the opportunity (and freezer space) to do so, this could be the reason for you to put up one or two more.
The fine folks at Food For Hunters whipped up this venison treat. It's officially called "Chuck Wagon Chili," but we're just about ready to say "Best venison chili … ever!"
One thing is for certain: if you don't keep your venison fresh in a great cooler on the way home from camp, it won't be as good on the table. Take care of your meat in the field and then at home for the best flavor.
Be sure to check out all the photos and full chili recipe, and also find other great recipes on their site. Definitely take a look.
Chuck Wagon Chili
A staple in the diets of early cowboys and pioneers, chili played a considerable role in the founding of our great American West. It's hot, spicy, and filling, making it the perfect grub for days of killer saddle sores and unrelenting cattle drives. This recipe makes a lot of chili, so make sure you have good company to share it with.
Yep. Chili. That's how the West was won.
Servings: 12
- 1 lb ground venison
- 1 lb diced venison
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 tsp. dried crushed red pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic salt; salt, to taste
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 5 tbs. chili powder
- 2 cans of red beans (15 oz each)
- 2 cans of refried beans (15 oz each)
- 1 cup of water
- 1 can diced tomato (14.5 oz)
- 1 can of tomato sauce (8 oz)
- 2 tbs. molasses
- Shredded mozzarella, for sprinkling
- Cornbread, a must!
1. Trim and remove silver skin from 1 lb of venison stew meat and cut into small bite-sized pieces.
2. In a large pot, heat up 1 tsp. olive oil and add in the chopped onions.
3. Once the onions soften, add the stew meat and the ground venison and brown. While the meat browns, break up the ground venison with your spoon to prevent large chunks.
4. Once meat browns, stir in the re-fried beans and red beans, liquid and all. You don't have to cook the venison all the way through before adding the beans. It will continue to cook later.
5. Stir in the crushed red pepper, garlic salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and chili powder.
6. Stir in the cans of chopped tomato and tomato sauce. Add salt to taste.
7. Then the molasses. Cover and simmer on low for one hour. If after the hour you still think the chili is too thin, take off the lid and continue to cook until thickened. Or you can do this before the hour is up.
8. Ladle chili in serving bowls and sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top. Enjoy with some cornbread and coffee.

The Trinity Lutheran College community centers around learning, service, worship, and prayer. Engaging our Christian faith in traditional and creative ways, we share the common purpose of equipping one another for lives that serve Jesus Christ.
The worship life at Trinity is an experiential learning laboratory, where emerging leaders are living out their faith in authentic and innovative ways that will shape tomorrow's church. The Trinity community is engaged in this shared mission, and together—students, faculty, staff, guests, and friends—we join in the work of making disciples, discerning vocations, and seeking to proclaim the Gospel in a manner that is meaningful and powerful in our complex and ever-changing world.
Trinity is committed to the spiritual growth of each student. In order to facilitate spiritual growth, both individually and corporately, each member of the community is encouraged to participate regularly in our Chapel and Community Building.
Chapel worship is an interactive experience that draws from the deep resources of the Christian tradition while seeking new and innovative ways to engage and express our shared spiritual journey—particularly though the arts. Rooted in our Lutheran identity, Chapel draws on the gifts of all the members of our community—both within Trinity and in the wider community. If you have a way in which you'd like to contribute to the life of worship at Trinity, contact the Campus Pastor.
Each person is encouraged to worship regularly with and participate in a local congregation.
The campus pastor is available to all members of the Trinity community for conversation, pastoral counseling, support in time of crisis, and prayer. Pastor Samuelson is also a great resource person for helping with discerning your vocation, navigating the stress of college, and connecting you to spiritual resources and communities.
Pastor Erik also coordinates our first year experience course—Vocation and Formation—which will give you opportunities to have deep conversation with your peers, encounter faculty members in a more personal way, and help you get up to speed on the rich resources available to you in the Living-Learning Community of Trinity Lutheran College.
Three times a week our entire community pauses to read scripture, reflect, pray, and worship together. Chapel services are rooted in Lutheran Christian understandings of worship, scripture, and sacrament, while drawing on a wide variety of Christian practices and worship styles. Chapel is a participatory time when our entire community is invited to share our gifts to the glory of God—and we often experiment with creative ways to worship.
Mondays: Service of the Word
A time of community worship centered in scripture featuring students, faculty, staff, and guests leading music, speaking, and facilitating interactive worship.
Wednesdays: Holy Communion
Along with preaching and music, we gather around the Lord's Supper. Visiting clergy, or our campus pastor, preside at the table—which is open to all Christians regardless of denominational affiliation.
Fridays: Community Prayer
A time to share prayer concerns (ours and from others), to spend some time in prayer together (and for one another), and work together to encourage and support prayer efforts at the College. We also experiment with different forms of prayer—Taizé, Holden, Iona, interactive, labyrinth, ancient forms, etc.
Emmaus Community: Sundays 6-7 p.m. in the Commons
Three area Lutheran Churches and Trinity Lutheran College are partners in this emerging missional community that gathers for weekly communion, innovative worship, and missional work in the community. Emmaus also sponsors quarterly events to serve the wider Everett community. "The Rides of March" is taking place March 18th with Irish Food, Craft Root Beer, Music, and distribution of Everett Transit bus tickets to those who need them. www.emmaus-community.org
Prayer and Praise: Tuesday Evenings (check schedule for times and locations)
A student led worship service centering on prayer and praise.
Refuge: Thursday Evenings (check schedule for times and locations)
A student-led worship service that is sometimes experimental, sometimes very casual, always a time of encounter with God and other another.
Sunday Worship at Local Congregations
Contact Pastor Erik for more information about local congregations. We also, from time to time, make "field trips" to various congregations in the wider regional area. Church of the Apostles, Church of the Beloved, Matins at St. Mark's Cathedral, and Mars Hill are on our list for this semester.
Student Prayer and Bible Study Groups
Contact the Spiritual Life Commissioner for more information
Service Projects
Our Campus Ministry office organizes college wide service projects and experiences. Contact Pastor Erik for more information.
Chapel Planning Class
This one-credit class meets weekly to plan chapel worship, and through that experiential learning to empower students to grow in their ability to plan and lead worship. Also, this group experiments with creative and innovative worship forms.
Tuesday Nights with the Missionaries
Our Missionaries in Residence host a weekly evening gathering for students with food, discussion, and prayer.

Office 365 vs. Google Apps: The InfoWorld review
With Office 365 now available in final form, here's what you need to know to decide if Office 365 or Google Apps (or neither) is right for your organizationFollow @woodyleonhard
- Although Gmail looks and behaves quite differently from Outlook Web Access (see Figure 4), it provides all of the major OWA functions, some of the minor ones, and adds a couple of unique features, including a thread-prioritizing scheme, plus a host of add-ons via Google Labs. Google Chat -- with video -- is directly accessible through Gmail.
- Google Calendars can be controlled by the administrator, but only to restrict the extent that information is shared outside of the domain. Users have control over who can see their calendars inside the domain. Contacts are handled inside Gmail in a way that's not nearly as robust as in Outlook.
- Google Apps doesn't have a telephone component per se, but the free Google Voice has many of the features you would expect from a VoIP system -- a single forwarding number, unlimited free domestic calls, call screening and blocking, SMSes, and conference calls -- in addition to transcribed notifications from inbound voice calls.
- Google Apps doesn't have fancy, customized Team Sites, but Google does have a feature called Cloud Connect that provides sharing and collaboration tools for Microsoft Office applications -- Word, Excel, and PowerPoint -- and works on files stored in Google Docs. Multiple users can edit the same file simultaneously. Last week, Google announced an extension to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint that lets you open and save documents directly in Google Docs. Also, integration with Box.Net brings many SharePoint features to Google Docs.
- Google Groups offers a few features that are vaguely reminiscent of SharePoint capabilities, including online forums, managed mailing lists, and group-accessible storage.
Figure 4: Gmail doesn't look or behave like Outlook Web Access, and some people find the change disconcerting.
As long as you have Outlook installed on your PC, working on email without an Internet connection presents no difficulties for Office 365. But with Gmail, you have to run Google Sync to download your messages to your PC before you lose your Internet connection, then run it again to bring everything back once you're plugged back into the grid.
If you don't plan on paying for Microsoft Office on every desktop, the relative benefits of the two packages changes considerably. It's much easier to use Office 365 with the (free) Office Web Apps, and to use Google Apps for Business with the (free) online Google Docs, so any evaluation of the relative merits of Office 365 and Google Apps has to take into account the features in Office Web Apps vs. the online Google Docs.
That's problematic, as the online versions of Word, Excel, OneNote, and PowerPoint -- as well as Google's online word processor, spreadsheet, and slideshow programs -- are changing constantly. For example, Office Web Apps added a rint function to Excel just last month.
On balance, Office 365 gets a 9 for features, and Google Apps a 7 -- assuming you will work in an environment with some version of Microsoft Office on every desktop.

The Study on the Self-organization Behavior about Enterprises Cluster
It appears to be a new approach of study that adopting the theory of nonlinear self-organization on the study of enterprises cluster. The emergence, development and growth of enterprises cluster can be satisfactorily analyzed in the theory of self-organization. The theory of self-organization originated from system theory is a result of transition from system theory to nonlinear science of complexity, and a theory of study on self-organization phenomena and laws. Dissipative structure theory deeply unearths the birth environment and conditions of self-organization and lays the foundation for the theory of self-organization; and synergetics theory intends to explain the process in which a system evolves from disorderliness to orderliness, which is essentially a process of self-organization inside the system. Synergy is a form and mean of self-organization. As a social system, enterprises cluster is a complex aggregation of multiple factors, themes and relations, has a series of conditions for self-organization, and its evolution is driven by the synergy among all the subsystems inside the system. On the whole, the process of synergetic evolution is normally the development from the evolution of competitive synergy to the evolution of cooperative synergy.Key words: Self-organization; Enterprises Cluster; Dissipativ Structure; The theory of synergetics; mechanism of evolution

Meet the North Stars
While working part time at Breezy Point Resort I was introduced to a couple of hockey players who also work part time at the resort. I started to ask questions before realizing that maybe there are other people in the area who would like to ask the junior hockey players questions.
Questions about their home towns, how do they like the area and the program, and questions about what is in their futures. The players were most friendly and cooperative in their answers.

TCEQ Expert Speaks at International Workshop
As it makes the 1,560-mile journey from its origins in a Himalayan ice cave, southeastward across India and Bangladesh to the Bay of Bengal, one of the world's largest rivers flows through one of the most fertile and densely populated regions in the world.
Known as "Mother Ganga," the Ganges River is a life support for the millions of people in India who depend on its waters. The river's water quality, however, is at risk due to population growth, industrialization, and urbanization.
In April, the World Bank and India's Ministry of Environment and Forests co-sponsored "Global Experiences in River Clean-Up and Basin Management: Relevance of the Ganga," a workshop that brought experts from around the globe to New Delhi to share ideas and best practices with the country's new National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA), the organization formed to spearhead Ganges River conservation efforts.
L'Oreal Stepney, deputy director of the TCEQ's Office of Water, was one of those experts sponsored by the World Bank to speak at the workshop, as was a representative of the San Antonio River Authority.
"The World Bank learned about the success of TCEQ programs at a meeting with TCEQ Commissioner Carlos Rubinstein," says Stepney.
Texas Clean Rivers Program Successes Highlighted
Stepney's presentation included successes of the TCEQ's Texas Clean Rivers Program, different techniques used by the agency to improve water quality across the state, how technology is used to communicate and share information with stakeholders, and how the agency assures integrity and accountability in the regulatory process.
"They were especially interested in how we develop partnerships and engage stakeholders in our decision-making process," Stepney says. "I was able to share some of the techniques we've used in Texas in partnering with different stakeholder groups. I also talked about how we work with the International Boundary and Water Commission specifically on international border matters."
"It is such an honor for the TCEQ's water quality maintenance and clean-up efforts to be recognized on the world stage. We are pleased to share what we have learned to help India protect the health and well-being of her people."
– Commissioner Carlos Rubinstein
With around 150 community leaders, government officials, biologists, and academics in attendance, Stepney says the workshop was an opportunity to share lessons learned and potentially gain new strategies for managing water resources.
"I enjoyed talking one-on-one with some of the participants," she says. "I learned that even though we're a world away from each other, we talk the same language when it comes to water quality."
Texas Program Respected Internationally
Stepney also learned how well respected the Texas program is internationally.
"We have great respect for the extent to which the State of Texas manages its rivers through a mix of incentives, regulation, outreach, and investment," says Genevieve Connors of the World Bank. "Other countries can stand to learn a lot from this knowledge, which has been built up over decades of river-cleaning work."
"It is such an honor for the TCEQ's water quality maintenance and clean-up efforts to be recognized on the world stage," says Rubinstein. "We are pleased to share what we have learned to help India protect the health and well-being of her people."

Lack of Prenatal Care
Source of Information: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
What Is It?
Failure to receive healthcare from an obstetrician or midwife throughout the pregnancy.
What Causes It?
- Inability to afford medical
- No access to medical care
- Unaware of pregnancy
What Are the Symptoms/Risks?
Inadequate prenatal care can cause the following risks:
- Low infant birth weight
- Premature birth
- Neonatal mortality
- Infant mortality
- Maternal mortality
Is it Hereditary?
Diagnosable at Birth or Latent?
What Else Do I Need to Know?
Lack of prenatal care can include poor nutrition, use of substances that are harmful to the baby, and exposure to radiation (X-rays).
What's the Bottom Line?
Find out all you can about the baby's prenatal care and then talk to a doctor about this risks.
My son's birthmother was not aware that she was pregnant until her third trimester, so she did not receive any prenatal care for the first 6 months. The pediatrician we consulted was not overly concerned about this because she lived a primarily healthy lifestyle. Her obstetrician was able to provide prenatal care for the remainder of her pregnancy, and the baby was born healthy.
Source of Information: United Nations University; National Eating Disorder Association
What Is It?
Poor nutrition because of an insufficient or poorly balanced diet.
What Causes It?
Poverty; eating disorders.
What Are the Symptoms/Risks?
- Feeding difficulties
- Low birth weight
- Poor development
- Premature birth
- Respiratory distress
Is it Hereditary?
Diagnosable at Birth or Latent?
Evident before birth.
What Else Do I Need to Know?
Malnutrition is also dangerous to the birthmother's health.
According to the United Nations University…
Despite the amount of investigation that has been conducted in the nutrition field, it is astonishing to discover the extent of our ignorance about different facets of maternal nutrition.
What's the Bottom Line?
Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a lot of data about the aftereffects of specific nutritional deficiencies.
