The Queen has spoken.

Bones"As an object maker I am always on the look-out for things to cast and there are always lots of bones hanging around the studio. I am drawn to bones as objects. Bones are always such nice shapes, all those complex curves. They are of a nice scale that can be held in the hand. I can't pick up a bone without speculating about the form that has generated the bone. It's a simple structural calculation. If you have the bone, you have the whole creature. The form of the creature is implicit in the bone. But it gets a bit more complicated. I am now working with casts made from a human skeleton. As I pour the wax or break away the plaster, I find I cannot be unaware that I am casting something that has been living, that has walked the earth and is now defunct. As I work away through the technically complex casting ritual I find part of me wondering: was this an adult or juvenile? was it male? female? was it healthy? was it happy? Working in the studio, as the pieces accumulate I am struck by how arresting it is to see multiples of human remains. Not too arresting, I hope - I want to avoid any sense of the crudely sensational. Also, how odd to see crystalline replicas of recognizably human artifacts."

Having made its grand unit group debut with Special Girl, Infinite H posed for the cameras in a photo shoot with fashion magazine CeCi.
Sporting different styles, Dong Woo and Hoya fit into their new hip-hop image fearlessly, spotted with various eye-catching colors.
During the interview, Dong Woo and Hoya answered questions about unit groups, dating, and of course, the Infinite members.
When asked about the difference between Infinite and Infinite H, Hoya replied, "For one thing, schedules end sooner. Because we split the work in half, the responsibilities are greater."
Dong Woo added, "When there are seven of us, it's complete chaos, but with just the two of us, we're a lot calmer and slower with things."
The group's newest single, Special Girl is about crushes. "It's a song that many men, who hesitate in making confessions, can relate to," said Dong Woo. Both Hoya and Dong Woo loved the song so they unanimously agreed to make it their title track.
Hoya said, "Since we haven't dated in a while, there's also sense that we're relieving stress through singing and rapping."
The two members later added that since they aren't dating, they are constantly crushing on someone.
With Infinite H being the first unit group from Infinite, Hoya and Dong Woo were asked what other unit groups they can see in the future.
"I think we should stop here with the unit groups," laughed Hoya. "Honestly, I'm anticipating the members' solo careers, like Sung Kyu. Especially Woo Hyun! Sung Yeol, L, and Sung Jong seem to fit as soloists more than being with another member."
Dong Woo added that due to his and Hoya's similar styles, they naturally came together as a group.
The entire interview will be included in the February issue .

To the Editor: We share Dr. Horrobin's disappointment that 3 g/day of ethyl EPA added to a current antipsychotic medication regimen was no more effective than placebo in reducing residual symptoms and cognitive deficits in patients with schizophrenia. In agreement with Dr. Horrobin, we indicate that potential explanations for our failure to find a therapeutic effect might include 1) the relative illness duration and severity of our study group, 2) inadequate or excessive doses of ethyl EPA, 3) an inadequate duration of treatment, or 4) ineffectiveness of the putative therapeutic agent. On the other hand, we do not concur that "it is unlikely that any standard drug would show benefit in a trial with this add-on design." Add-on designs such as this have demonstrated the benefit of many augmentation strategies, including lithium augmentation of antidepressants (1), d-cycloserine augmentation of conventional antipsychotic agents for negative symptoms in schizophrenia (2), and pindolol augmentation for patients with treatment-resistant panic disorder (3). Contrary to Dr. Horrobin's contention, if the hypothesis under consideration is that supplemental therapy is beneficial to patients with residual symptoms and deficits despite adequate treatment with standard approaches, a double-blind placebo-controlled add-on study would appear to be the only appropriate experimental design to rigorously assess the hypothesis. Finally, in our view, our failure to find any correlation between changes in the arachidonic acid/EPA ratio and improvement in clinical dependent variables renders unlikely the hypothesis that a diet change in the placebo-treated group explains improvement in both groups. Given that the bulk of the placebo effect for both groups was seen in the first 2 weeks of treatment, however, we recommend that future studies consider using a single-blind placebo lead-in period. Further research will be needed to clarify the potential use of ethyl EPA in schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric conditions.

First wedding Aniversary - A short story, opinions are welcome
The forest whirled past me as I ran. Up into the forest canopy I continued, my stride in perfect continutation. It was pitch black but I could see everything crystal clear, one of the perks of being a vampire. I felt perfectly intune to my surroundings, I had run in the forest many times, normally with Edward or my family by my side but I was relaxed alone, knowing there was not a preditor in the woods that could defeat me. And if there was a wandering vampire who happened to come across me, my shield could protect me from mental attacks and my newborn strength would aid me in defeating them. To be quite honest I would relish the thought of using the super strength I had left as it was deminishing every day. I was nearly a year old in vampire years and the extra strength that came with being a newborn was fading away. Tonight Edward and I were celabrating our first wedding aniversary!! the thought brought an instant smile to my face. I couldnt belive the apprehension I had about marrying Edward when I was human. If Id have known how happy I would be I would have married him the first time he had asked. I caught a familier smell on the breeze, I was nearly at my destination. I reached up and grabbed the branch above me and swang into the air, turning into a sommersault and landing gracefully.
Our meadow was all aglow, lanterns and fairy lights were drapped around the trees, and onto the branches of th trees surrounding the meadow. In the middle was a table, a crisp white tablecloth on it, laid with fine china and crystal glasses. It was perfect. "Happy aniversary Mrs Cullen" the voice came from behind me, close to me and the lips speaking were almost touching my neck. It gave me shivers all over. I turned and there he was. My husband, my Edward. He still took my breath away, topaz eyes, floppy hair and heart stopping smile. when i was human I felt completelty dowdy next to him. At least now in my immortal form I felt better in my skin, that I didnt look to out of place next to him. "Happy aniversary, Mr Cullen" I sang back to him. He laughed and swiftly picked me up into his arms. I nestled my head on his chest as he carried me swiflty to the table, pulling and settling me onto my seat in one fluid motion. He settled ito his seat opposite me and we sat for a moment, gazing into each others eyes across the table. " I take it we arent actually eating anything?" I said. He laughed his magical laugh and lent underneath the table, pulling out a large chrome thermos and set it on the table. I imediatley recognised the contents by smell, Mountain lion blood. Instanainiously my throat burned, like a volcano errupting. "Oww" I toched my throat with my fingertips. "It still hurts?" Edward asked, eyes full of concern.
"I havent hunted much this week" I admitted "Nessie prefers to go with Jake, and I got caught up helping Alice with her website".
"You shouldnt leave it so long love, I dont want you to be hurting" Edward said soothingly,even though I wasnt so breakable anymore he still worried about me, old habits I guessed. He poured the contents into th crystal glasses, I recognised them from Esmes best set, and made a mental note to be extra carefull with them.
" A toast" said Edward "to our first year of marrige and many more!" We carefully nudged our glasses together, the vibrations from the glasses rang into the air. We drank, and then Edward reached into his jacket pocket and produced a black rectanguler box and setit on the table infront of me. "Edward" I started "We agreed on no presents!". "You still havent got any better at recieving gifts have you love?" Edward answered me, half laughing "do you honestly think would leave this occasion pass without getting you anything, Mrs Cullen?", I fingered the box and grumbled " I guess theres no point in asking if it was expensive" that set him off into a fit of giggles which inturn set me off. We laughed with each other, soprano and bass together for a moment. "Bella will you please open it, the suspense is killing me" he looked genuinley anxious. "Edward the gift of your love and body forever is the greatest gift, apart from Renessme that you could ever give me" I reasoned with him trying to deter away from my embarrasment of receiving another expensive gift. "Ahh but Bella love, you gave me something far greater. You gave up your lfe for me and Nessie, sorry! Renessme, that was far greater than anything I have given to you" he reasoned with me still smiling and looking so handsome in the candle light of the illumonated table. I figured this argument could go on all night and I had other ways pictured in my mind to spend it! I opened the box.
I gasped, in the box was a locket, gold and the size of a Dollar! The face of it was beautifully carved with the Cullen family crest. I took it in my hands carefully,it was on a thick gold chain. "We all wear the family crest on something" Edward spke softly and held up his arm and pointed to the leather cuff with silver crest in the middle. "open it up" said Edward. I carefully opened up the big locket, inside there was a beautifull picture of Edward, me and Renessme all smiling and the other half was a family photo, the original hung above the fireplace at home in our cottage. Carlisle and Esme standing behind Emmett, smiling his cheeky smile, jasper on his right, trying not to laugh at him, Edward on his left and Rose, Alice, Me and Renessme sitting below them laughing at Renessme doing her best "Smile".
I looked at Edward and said"I love it" he cocked an eyebrow,
"Really?" I thought it might be to big for your taste he asked tentivley.
"honestly I love it" I replied and pushed my sheild away fom my mind to let him see how happy I was. Edward gasped and stared off smiling looking at the thoughts I prduced for him. I let my mind wonder over the locket and how thrilled I was with it, then I remembered our wedding day, how he looked when I walked down the aisle to meet him, the joy of being decleared husband and wife. Next I thought about our honeymoon, Isle Esme as it appeared out of the darkness, the sea as I waded out to join him in the moonlight, the first time we were 'together' and the next. Edward growled softly, we jumped from our chairs and fell into each others arms on the meadow floor next to the table. My locket was still clutched in my hand, Edward swiftly took it, put it round my neck and fastened it in one fluid motion. I grabbed his hair and pulled his face to mine, kissin him urgently still letting my mind wander over our past experiances together. Suddenly he sat bot up right. "What is it?" I aked still breathless from kissing him, he out his finger to my lips to quiet me.
He pulled me up onto my feet with hm as he stood up. "Run!!" he shouted and we took off running in the direction of home. "What is it?" I shouted at him "Whats wrong Edward?" as I spoke the words I heard a loud howl fill the forest behind us, there was a crashing noise which sounded like the trees were being ripped out from the root. "Werewolf" said Edward and grimised "not the Jacob variety either" looking up at the very full and bulging moon in the sky.

Credit Rating Agency Announcements and the Eurozone Sovereign Debt Crisis
AbstractThis paper studies the impact of credit rating agency (CRA) announcements on the value of the Euro and the yields of French, Italian, German and Spanish long-term sovereign bonds during the culmination of the Eurozone debt crisis in 2011-2012. The employed GARCH models show that CRA downgrade announcements negatively affected the value of the Euro currency and also increased its volatility. Downgrading increased the yields of French, Italian and Spanish bonds but lowered the German bond's yields, although Germany's rating status was never touched by CRA. There is no evidence for Granger causality from bond yields to rating announcements. We infer from these findings that CRA announcements significantly influenced crisis-time capital allocation in the Eurozone. Their downgradings caused investors to rebalance their portfolios across member countries, out of ailing states' debt into more stable borrowers' securities.

We have four trolleys of samsung netbooks which take an age at the beginning of lessons to log on to the network. We recently lost an ICT suite due to building works that won't be opened again until the end of 2014. As a result of these two things I have a bunch of irate teachers who can't teach with what we have. I don't blame them, the log on times are ridiculous for the netbooks. We have 2 trolleys of much better laptops that log on quickly and just work.
Anyway, I'm trying to work out the best route to get some use out of these netbooks, particularly for some staff who want to use them for controlled assessments.
Can anyone suggest how we could achieve this?
Maybe flatten a group of laptops and have them off the domain, purely as word processors saving all work to memory sticks?
Booting up straight to a remote desktop log on screen or some other remote solution?

New Initiative Enables Somali Farmers To Become WFP Suppliers
As part of a joint resilience strategy that aims to strengthen livelihoods and improve the ability of vulnerable Somalis to cope with shocks, WFP and FAO experts have provided training and technical support to small-scale farmers in Somalia, with the hope of linking them to markets and grow to become medium- and large-scale farmers. With funding from the government of Austria, WFP purchased 200 metric tons of maize produced by farmers from Afgoye one of the areas that was worst affected by the famine less than three years ago. WFP hopes to continue this agricultural support and local procurement with the aim of helping smallholder farmers achieve developmental gains while fighting hunger at the same time.

Beyoncé's dress to sell for $250,000
One of Beyonce's biggest fans has offered to buy her Grammy's dress for $250,000 from the designer Michael Costello.
One of Beyonce's biggest fans has offered to buy the dress she wore to the Grammy Awards for $250,000.
The 'XO' hitmaker, who caused controversy with her steamy performance at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night (26.01.14), wore a white and sheer gown by 'Project Runway' designer Michael Costello on the red carpet and he is currently debating whether to sell the delicate ensemble.
He told People.com: ''There's a guy who's an obsessive Beyoncé fan who offered us $250,000 for the dress. It's crazy. I'm debating. I want to keep it! It's a dream come true.''
Michael made six dresses for the 32-year-old star for the event and previously admitted he was wowed by her ''tiny, amazing'' body.
The blonde beauty, who is married to rapper Jay Z with whom she has a two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, reportedly dropped 70 pounds in recent months after following a largely vegetarian diet.
Once known for her curvy figure, Beyoncé is now said to be a UK size 6 (US 2).
Michael said: ''It was incredible! We didn't have any of her sizes or measurements. The dress was just made to fit a sample mannequin.
''It's smaller than a size 4. She is tiny! That dress is at least a 2/4. She looks amazing. I just love the way it all came together. Ty [Beyoncé's stylist] knew it was going to fit.
''At first I was a little concerned with the pieces I gave. Maybe it needs to be smaller or bigger? When you send something to Beyoncé, you're just a little concerned, but Ty knew.''

Anchorman 2: What we want to see from Kristen Wiig
Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids
As well as starring in the Oscar nominated Bridesmaids, Kristen was also the comedic genius who co-penned it. One of our favourite scenes in the movie was when Kristen's character Annie gets drunk on a plane. Kristen's spot-on comedic timing will be a welcome addition to the Anchorman team.

Good to hear you're clear of your treatment, Anne! And yes, some of the best remedies are tried and true...
I love Pepto-Bismol!...especially when I'm on my celery-only crash diet. Celery will put your intestines into OVERDRIVE. Pepto-Bismol is a life-saver...that and Metamucil ®. :)
You sound great Anne! I've been praying for you throughout all of this and I'm very sanguine you'll pull through. Too dynamic and necessary and wonderful person not to. :)
And I didn't realize Pepto-Bismol was that old! I get acid reflux frequently and I find that it works as well if not better than the modern prescription stuff.
Anyway hang in there Anne! We all love you. As a subscriber you and Whitley and everyone involved with Unknowncountry.com have been and are like family to me.

Scene stealers: How to deal with view-blocking neighbors
When one neighbor's gigantic home destroys another neighbor's view, scorched-earth battles can follow. Homeowners usually have no rights. But they can adopt these smart strategies.
Moby house. Monster home. McMansion. You don't care what it's called, you just don't want it looming next door, blotting out the sun and hogging your view of trees and sky, replacing it with a third-story window that peers down into your bedroom.
Unfortunately, view robbery seems to be growing alongside the return to city life. Despite the real-estate slump in most parts of the country, affluent buyers are spending small fortunes for modest bungalows in safe neighborhoods near jobs, good schools, libraries, shops and cafes. The older houses are often scraped off the lot and replaced with an architecturally commanding statement home that's been built up and out as far as the law will allow.
Neighbors who lose light, air, privacy and treasured views are outraged. "It's becoming a bigger and bigger issue, one we're facing all over the country in desirable areas," says attorney Don Erik Franzen, whose Pacific Palisades, Calif., practice, Pacific View Rights Center, helps aggrieved homeowners negotiate -- or fight -- over high-priced views of the Los Angeles coastline, canyons and mountains.
If your neighbors are planning their own massive construction project, can you do anything beyond packing up and moving or keeping the shades drawn? In some cases, yes -- though the answers to these disputes aren't easy, Franzen says.
3 existing protections
You may love the view you're used to, but it's not really yours. The Constitution guarantees the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but not the right to stretch your eyes out to the horizon.
For some lucky homeowners, however, one of the following may pick up where the Constitution leaves off:
- Local ordinances. Most cities are reluctant to enter into what officials say are essentially private disputes between neighbors. But a handful of cities -- including three in California: Santa Barbara, Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills Estates -- have adopted ordinances that protect existing homeowners' views from new construction.
Such ordinances appeal most in affluent Western communities set amid spectacular landscapes, says James Schwab, researcher and co-editor of the American Planning Association's newsletter, Zoning Practice. "If you're just sitting out in Iowa in the flatlands, you're not likely to get a view-protection ordinance," Schwab says.
Discuss: Talk about it: Is a neighbor's remodel blocking your view?
In Rolling Hills Estates, where the median home-sale price rose nearly 5% in the first month of 2008 to $995,000, all home construction is scrutinized by planners and neighbors for the potential to wreck the panoramic ocean, hillside and city views of residents who arrived first. Owners proposing two-story projects (and some single-story ones) must erect story poles -- sticks or balloons outlining the silhouette of the new building on its site -- so neighbors can envision the effect. Permission to build is granted case by case.
"Views are protected from primary living areas like the kitchen, living room, dining room and master bedroom," says David Wahba, planning director. "People say, 'I stand out in the driveway, and it's going to block my view,' and those are considered, too. But they are not given as much weight."
Subjective as it is, the ordinance -- now nearly 20 years old -- has withstood court tests. "It works well," Wahba says.
- CC&Rs. In some planned developments, the covenants, codes and restrictions (CC&Rs) prohibit property owners from blocking each other's views. Newly written codes are likely to offer better protection. Older codes may have language so vague as to be useless -- for example, forbidding "unreasonable" obstruction of a view, a term that's open to interpretation. (Before buying into such a development, read the CC&Rs carefully and hire a lawyer to interpret obscure rules.)
- Deed restrictions. One Seattle-area homeowner, whose house overlooks Puget Sound, will never have to worry about losing her view to the house in front of her. That's because she used to own the property. When she sold, she attached a restriction to the deed: New construction cannot go higher than the current roof line.
What can you do?
You may not have a right to your view, but you're not without options. Here are ways to protect yourself:
Money for privacy
As in much of life, money can sometimes buy happiness, or at least buffer unhappy neighbors from a monstrosity next door. If you can afford it, the best way to ensure your views and privacy is to buy next-door lots when possible. Owning the surrounding land lets you preserve a natural buffer. But you need not hold onto the property: Resell it with restrictions attached to the deed similar to the Seattle-area homeowner's height limitation.
Deed restrictions can be set "up into the sky, down into the ground and within those four (property) boundaries," says Edward Miller, an attorney and vice president of public policy at the American Land Title Association. Examples are:
- Height or building size restrictions.
- Restrictions on building materials or architectural style.
- A restriction prohibiting any building at all.
Restrictions must, however, comply with zoning and other laws. Outlawed, for example, is the once-common practice of restricting ownership of the land to people of certain races or religions. Also, remember: The more you restrict a parcel's use, the less the land is worth on the market. Call a title attorney for the range of possibilities and ask local real-estate agents how the particular restrictions you're considering might affect the resale value of the property.
The good-neighbor defense
If you lack the means or desire to buy up surrounding lots and your neighbors are committed to their remodel, your best shot at influencing them is in the planning stages. Once a building project has begun, it's hard to stop or change a property owner's mind.
Mediator Myer Sankary, a former attorney and now president-elect of the Southern California Mediation Association, advises aggrieved neighbors to plan out a friendly approach for expressing concerns. "People don't like to be told what they have to do," he says. "They want to be asked. You can sit down with your neighbor and say, 'I know you want to do that, you have a right to, but would you mind if we give you some thoughts about how you could do this and minimize the impairment of our view?'"
Sankary has seen worried neighbors even go so far as to offer to hire their own architect in order to propose alternative ways to make everyone happy.
Ultimately, though, it all boils down to friendly persuasion. It can sometimes be a powerful tool, says the Puget Sound homeowner. Her uphill neighbors -- who themselves built a three-story house -- told her that they're worried she'll block their view if she builds the addition she's considering. Keeping them happy is important to her, she says, yet she's also feeling pressure over exercising her right to maximize the use of her property. She's still deciding how to proceed.

SANTA CLARA Linebacker Patrick Willis said Thursday he's looking forward to playing a more traditional style of defense for the 49ers on Sunday.
The Seahawks' offense is likely to oblige.
Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch has surpassed 100 rushing yards the past three times he's faced the 49ers, most recently a 111-yard, one-touchdown effort in December at Century-Link Field.
The defensive front Lynch faces Sunday, however, will be a bit different than he's seen in the past. For one, Justin Smith will be back in the lineup at right defensive end. He missed last year's game in Seattle, a 42-13 blowout win by the Seahawks, after partially tearing his triceps tendon the previous week in New England.
"It was a big factor," Willis said of Smith's absence. "To me, he's one of the best defensive players in this game and shows it week in and week out. And anytime he's not out there, we miss him. There's no question about that."
The 49ers also will have a different lineup at nose tackle. Isaac Sopoaga and Ricky Jean Francois, now with the Eagles and Colts, respectively, have been replaced by Ian Williams and Glenn Dorsey. Williams is expected to make his first start Sunday, although Dorsey likely will be platooned into the game.
Willis said Williams is similar in style to Aubrayo Franklin, who played in front of Willis from 2007 until 2010. In two of those seasons, Willis led the NFL in tackles. Franklin is now with the Colts.
"In just being able to move, real low center of gravity, real strong at the point," Willis said of the similarities between Williams and Franklin. "I'm really excited to see him work him and Glenn both. They've worked hard all offseason. Just seeing how they've improved from Day 1 until now. I'm excited. I'm excited to be running some base (defense)."
The team's base defense was almost nonexistent in Sunday's opener against the Packers. Green Bay used three or four wide receivers on 57 of their 62 plays, forcing the 49ers into their nickel or dime defenses, which don't include a nose tackle, for most of the game.
The Seahawks struggled to establish the running game in Week 1, with Lynch gaining only 43 yards in a win over Carolina. He only had one game last season with fewer yards 41 in Week 6 vs. New England.
Last year, he averaged 4.8 yards a carry against the 49ers, and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio likened Lynch to Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith.
"Because Emmitt ran with power, and elusiveness and slashing-type running without great speed," Fangio said. "That would be the one guy that came to mind."
Injuries As was the case Wednesday, running back LaMichael James (knee) was the only 49er who did not practice. Look for him to miss his second straight game Sunday.

This comScore chart shows that in November, Facebook began pulling ahead of MySpace thanks to their 200 million unique visitors that month. Caroline McCarthy from CNET highlights a statement from MySpace regarding comScore's findings:
We are laser focused on building a sustainable global business which we measure by profits and revenue–not just eyeballs. In a tough economic climate, our international revenue is up 30 percent year over year and we continue to focus on those markets with the strong monetization opportunities.
Additionally, MySpace continues to dominate the U.S. market–where the bulk of online advertising revenues reside–both in terms of monetization and user engagement with more than 76 million unique users and a 40 percent spike in engagement year over year.
But with Facebook growing at the rate that it is (they hit the 150 million user milestone this month), how long will it be before Facebook implements a better way to monetize its traffic? I have to believe that more and more advertisers are flocking to Facebook to get their ads shown in front of even more users.

Orlando Magic Record: 20-62… 15th in Eastern Conference Overview: After firing long-time head coach, Stan Van Gundy, long-time GM, Otis Smith and trading their franchise player, Dwight Howard and their second best player, Ryan Anderson, it was well known that this team would take a large step back. Few, if any, knew how far back that step would be, as they finished with the NBA's worst record, even behind the Bobcats. To say that the Magic franchise had a makeover would be an understatement. The team had an odd assortment of completely unproven youngsters and veterans who should have been the 4th and 5th options on playoff teams (Jameer Nelson and Aaron Afflalo), rather than leaders on a team going nowhere, so there was never much chance of success. Shockingly the team started 12-13, but simply fell off a cliff after their respectable start and finished the season 8-49. They have a long way to go, before they get back to the playoffs, that is for sure, but they do have some very nic...

It was clear to many that this was the wrong choice from day one and it is clear to a few that the club are lost at the moment. They need to sort this mess out and quickly - it is only going to get worse.
So, continuing my theme of quoting sources here is another one since Saturday. Randy has to get rid and Paul Faulkner, as CEO of Aston Villa, has to make the recommendation, sooner rather than later.
John Gregory was at Villa Park on Saturday - don't read anything into it, but a bit of that right about now wouldn't go a miss and don't be surprised if they spoke to him - it is the kind of good PR that will help.
That is a great quote and just underlines a lot of what this blog has produced since the dark day he was appointed manager. The decision was wrong then and it is still wrong now and it isn't going to get better.
Five wins in his last 27 matches as manager, same points and goal difference as The Clowns as the same stage last season - how much more evidence do you want Mr Faulkner?
It is time for Paul Faulkner to make the call. It is time for Paul Faulkner to acknowledge we are not moving forward with this manager and that we will never move forward with him.
Now is the time - not before it is too late, but before many lose faith in Aston Villa and the current regime.

The Western Conference leading Red Wings open up a 3-game west coast trip tonight against the Sharks in San Jose with Detroit forward Mike Modano wondering if his all-star career is in jeopardy after being injured Friday night at Columbus.
The 40-year old Modano had surgery over the weekend to repair a severed tendon and nerve damage in his right wrist following an accidental cut from the skate of Bluejacket's player. There's hope he can return in time for the playoffs but in the meantime, he has to have his arm immobilized in a cast for eight weeks.

Play Indian-style attacking hockey: Vasudevan Baskaran
"Indian hockey has traditionally been characterised by individual flair, brilliant stick work and attacking mode of play. Instead of trying to borrow others' style we must focus on playing to our strength which is attacking from the onset till the last minute of the game," Baskaran told IANS in an interview.
Though wishing for a medal for the team, the 61-year-old Baskaran said a top five finish for the Indian team at the Games will be an honorable performance.
"The team has some very good players, is experienced, so I am sure they will perform well. Winning a medal surely will be a dream come true. But a top five finish for our team currently ranked at 10 will also be honorable," said Baskaran who captained his side to a gold at the Moscow Games in 1980, ending a 16 year drought.
The Indians led by goalie Bharat Chhetri and coached by Michael Nobbs, have qualified for the London Games 2012 after a gap of 8 years trouncing France 8-1 in the finals of the qualifiers.
India begin their campaign against the Netherlands July 30, followed by matches against New Zealand August 1, Germany August 3, Korea August 5 and Belgium August 7.
Baskaran, who coached the national team several times, the last occasion being at the 2006 Men's Hockey World Cup in Monchengladbach, singled out medio Sardara Singh and ace drag-flicker Sandeep Singh as the two players to watch out for.
"I am banking on both the Singhs and hoping for a superlative performance from them. The success of a team largely depends on the mid fielders and I am glad that we have Sardara orchestrating the game from the midfield."

Once I got the dress, I tried it on and I LOVED it! The fit was perfect as well as the length once I got a pair of heels to go with it. The slits up the side were ultra sexy but not too over the top. I was worried the top wouldn't stay on well because of the side sleeves but I was wrong! I was so happy with this purchase. The material is nice and soft but form fitting/stretchy. I definitely recommend this dress to others. I received so many compliments at the wedding about my dress and I am so happy I purchased it! My first purchase at Lulus was a complete success and I'm excited to continue shopping with them! =)"
How it fit:
"I was really excited for this dress to arrive when I ordered it but I was also a bit apprehensive as I was worried about the quality of the material. Also, I like dresses which have a slit up the leg but I had never tried on a dress with 2 slits so I was not too sure about how that would turn out. However, when this dress arrived in the mail I was so happy! The material is great quality- it's not see-through or too heavy and it is tight-fitting and sexy without being too over the top or uncomfortable. As the last review said, the slits come up to a perfect spot and the shoulders stay in place and aren't at all constricting. The sizing and shipping times were right on too! This is my first order with Lulu's and I am so please. I would definitely recommend this website to friends and family and I can't wait to wear this to my friend's formal in a couple of weeks! Thanks Lulu's!"
How it fit:
"I was super excited to come across a high slit off the shoulder dress. Unsure of the material quality I ordered hoping for the best. This dress is perfect! I am a 36D size 2-4 I normally wear Small. The fabric quality is A+, perfectly stretchy and thick but not too much. The slits come up to a perfect spot, not too high not too low. I am also always apprehensive about off the shoulder things because they tend to ride up the shoulders but these stay right in place! This was my first time ordering from LuLu's and I will definitely be a returning customer! Shipping dates were right on too!"
