Turning point? In what played out like a Hitchcock-thriller, Ana emerged victorious from a 134-minute battle with ninth seed Victoria Azarenka in the first round of the Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open in Cincinnati. The former world No.1 triumphed 2-6, 7-6(6), 6-2, having trailed by a set and a break.
From the second set onwards, Ana's forehand was a continuous threat to the Belorussian, who on three occasions was just two points from victory. Each time Ana denied the world No.12, who was a recent winner of the Stanford tournament.
Afterwards, Ana immediately thanked the crowed for supporting her unceasingly during the match and helping her to realize this upset. "The crowd helped me so much," she said. "They were a lot behind me. It was so great to see a lot of young kids and so on, and it kind of got me pumped.
"She was serving so well in the first set but I knew I just had to hang in there and compete, and eventually things would turn around. I managed to improve my return of serve and I feel like my defence was also good.
"There were a lot of changes of momentum in this match. It definitely felt like two different matches. For the first half I just had to keep fighting and keeping believe, then towards the end I felt I was on top.
"I've been working very hard and playing so well in practice, and it's a great feeling to be able to finally take some of that into a match. I'm very happy with this victory."
Ana advances to the second round where she will meet Kazakhstan's Yaroslava Shvedova. Shevedova won their only previous meeting in Miami in 2007.

Your review should be posted within seven days. Works with the Harmony Remote Written By Beegowl, San Antonio, TX on Friday, March 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Each of the components in my audio/video system has a remote. Drives me nuts when they're all laying around. Solution: A Harmony remote. Unfortunately, my PS3 is a bluetooth remote system and doesn't work with the Harmony, UNLESS I spend an extra $60 for the adapter. Which I did. It works great. Problem solved, rather expensively. Pros: Eliminates the need to grab for the PS3 controller or the optional Sony remote to interact with PS3. Cons: Expensive. Requires another electrical outlet in my already cluttered power strip. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Nice product Pros: Works great Cons: Price 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Why did I wait? Written By Will, San Jose, Ca on Saturday, June 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ever since I bought the PS3 remote control I've always hated having to keep two remotes out. Now that I have this adapter I realize how much of a waste of money that PS3 remote is. I have paired this with my HarmonyLink for a seamless smartphone remote setup in my family room. Pros: Small, easy to conceal, setup is super easy. As long as it has line-of-sight to your remote it can go anywhere. Cons: 1. Green LED on top always stays on. Completely pointless. Give me a red blinking light when it's not connected like Sony did on the PS3, not an annoying green one when it is... which is always. 2. I wish it had a better indication on the device where the IR receiver is so it would have been easier to connect my IR repeater and conceal this away. Took some trial and error. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Kewl! Written By Converterjoe, Dothan, AL on Friday, January 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very simple setup........even a caveman can do it! Works just right and now I have only one remote on the chair-side table. I fully expected a few hiccups but pairing and updating remote went without a hitch. Excellent product. Gotta agree with the other reviewers on the price however. It's just too much for this device, especially after forking over so much for the remote itself. Price is the sole reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Pros: Fast, easy setup. Completes my one-remote living room. Cons: Price. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Works as expected. My issue is the cost of the adapter. I feel it should be $20 or less. this price is a lot for what you end up with. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Easy Setup Written By Taylor, Newport, NC on Thursday, February 24, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy setup, and it works like a charm. Two issues- once you set your PS3 to work with this remote, your Sony PS3 remote is no longer linked. I have a harmony RF remote, if you want the RF reciever to talk to this adapter you need to go to the RF setting on the remote and click the box beside the PS3 so it will send the signal via RF instead of IR.

Seminar: Towards an inclusive Europe: learning to live better together with our different convictionsStrasbourg 21 July 2015
Training for heads of INGOs, national organisations and people with educational responsibility
Jailed Azerbaijan human rights' defender Intigam Aliyev should be released as a matter of urgencyStrasbourg 16 July 2015
President of the Conference of INGOs calls on the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan to use his authority to release Intigam Aliyev
Registration on the list of INGOs entitled to submit collective complaintsStrasbourg 15 July 2015
INGOs which enjoy participatory status with the Council of Europe can register to be entitled to submit collective complaints
The CoE and NGOs
The Council of Europe's work benefits extensively from contacts and co-operation with the dynamic elements of society, as represented by NGOs. One of the main challenges currently facing the Organisation is to strengthen NGOs and civil society and to develop participatory democracy on a pan-European basis.
The Conference of INGOs in a nutshell
Over 50 years at the heart of European democracy
The voice of civil society is heard at the Council of Europe thanks to the Conference of International Non-governmental Organisations (INGOs).
Since the introduction of consultative status for INGOs in 1952, the Council of Europe has developed even closer and fruitful relations with NGOs as representatives of civil society. The introduction of participatory status in 2003 has enabled INGOs to increase active participation in the policies and work programme of the Council of Europe, and to reinforce co-operation between the Council of Europe and the various associations in member States.

In a little-noticed passage in Robert Gates's new memoir, the former defense secretary recounts a trip he took to Azerbaijan in the spring of 2010. His mission was to hand the reigning dictator, Ilham Aliyev, a note from President Barack Obama, hailing the importance of the two countries' relations. Aliyev had been grousing about the U.S. military using his land as a stopover along the supply route to Afghanistan. Just "showing up" brought him back in line, Gates writes, adding, approvingly, "Neither the letter nor I mentioned human rights."
More than five years into Obama's presidency, the single word that best sums up his foreign policy is "realist"—in some cases, as one former adviser told me, "hard-nosed," even "cold" realist.
Like all postwar presidents, Obama speaks in hallowed terms about America's global mission. But his actions reveal an aversion to missionary zeal. He has ended the regime-changing wars he inherited, and done much to avoid new ones. He rarely hectors foreign leaders about their internal affairs, at least in public. He suffers no ideological hang-ups about negotiating with dreadful rulers or sworn enemies, such as Iran, for the sake of national-security interests. To ease America's way out of Afghanistan, he has cozied up to Central Asian autocrats and tolerated Pakistan's duplicity. With almost clinical detachment, he has reassessed U.S. relationships in East Asia, embracing authoritarian regimes in Myanmar and Vietnam to promote trade and check an expansive China.
Obama's belief in American values isn't entirely rhetorical; he will sometimes place ideals above interests, though rarely when the two collide. He seems unmoved by the triumphalism that animated George W. Bush's foreign policy, in part because he sees the bloody, futile legacy it left in the sands of Iraq—but also because it's just not his style. During his first presidential campaign, when he said he had "enormous sympathy" for the foreign policy of President George H.W. Bush and his national security adviser Brent Scowcroft—ultimate realists—many thought Obama was just taking a whack at his predecessor, H.W.'s son. Maybe he was, but he also meant it. Perhaps more than any president since Dwight Eisenhower, Obama defines the national interest narrowly and acts accordingly. And in following this course, he has been much more successful than his critics allow. In fact, his deepest failures have occurred when he has veered off his path.
At first, Obama was mistaken for the opposite of a realist. When Susan Rice and Samantha Power—ultimate idealists—emerged as key players on his campaign staff and transition team, some saw their presence as a sign of Obama's idealist leanings. Rice was named U.N. ambassador and Power a National Security Council aide. But the foreign policy appointees who had by far the greatest influence in Obama's White House, the trio with whom he spoke at length every day—National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon; Donilon's deputy, Denis McDonough; and John Brennan, counterterrorism adviser—were thoroughgoing realists. Obama nicknamed them "the grim Irishmen," but he almost always agreed with them and took their advice.
Gates, whom he unexpectedly kept on as a holdover from George W. Bush's administration (and who had served as Scowcroft's deputy under Bush's father), emerged as another key adviser in Obama's first term. Rahm Emanuel, Obama's initial chief of staff, referred to Gates as the "center of gravity" in discussions of foreign affairs.
Early in Obama's first term, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered a speech laying out an agenda of people-to-people relations, especially women's rights, the president paid it lip service in some of his own speeches, but he never followed through with action. There isn't a trace of such sentiments in his dealings with those parts of the world—Afghanistan, China, much of the Arab world—where the theme had particular resonance; other factors, such as security and economics, clearly prevailed.
Even when it came to Obama's own handful of lofty sentiments, notably his call in 2009 for the abolition of nuclear weapons, he stopped pushing when the resistance proved immovable. He negotiated a truly significant arms-reduction treaty with the Russians, but to win ratification in the Senate, he boosted the budget for nuclear research and development. When the Russians displayed a deep aversion to still more cuts, when U.S.-Russian relations took a dip across the board with Vladimir Putin's return as president and when other crises overwhelmed Obama's agenda, the talk of a nuclear-free world disappeared.
It's curious that a president so previously inexperienced in foreign policy would emerge, so early in his term, with any worldview, much less a hard-nosed one. Still more intriguing is how a man with a passion for righting domestic wrongs like racism and inequality can seem so cold-blooded in his dealings abroad.
Perhaps more than any president since Dwight Eisenhower, Obama defines the national interest narrowly and acts accordingly.
Much can be explained by what might seem the most unlikely source—his truly seminal years as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an outfit modeled explicitly on the principles of Saul Alinsky. (Alinsky died in 1972, more than a decade before Obama moved to Chicago, but his thinking permeated the city's activist groups.) Right-wing critics, especially at Fox News, have long latched onto this in their attempt to paint Obama as a dangerous lefty. But even more than usual, they had no idea what they were talking about. Alinsky was a Machiavelli of urban protest movements. In his great book Rules for Radicals (subtitled "A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals"), Alinsky stressed this as his No. 1 rule: "As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be. … That means working in the system. … We will start with the system because there is no other place to start from except political lunacy." His tactics involved exploiting and playing jujitsu with power structures, not overthrowing them.

Henry County – Last night (8/20) around 8:30 p.m. members of the Pendleton District Meth Suppression Squad arrested a woman at a home in rural Henry County wanted on a felony warrant out of Marion County. The arrest was the result of information troopers received while conducting a separate meth investigation.
Arrested at a home in the 9800 block of CR 350 N. was Shani Kissick, age 41, on a warrant for Possession of a Controlled Substance, Class "D" Felony. Officers had worked closely with the Henry County Prosecutor's Office during the investigation and had obtained a search warrant for the residence to look for Kissick.
Further charges could be filed in this case pending review by the Henry County Prosecutor's Office, as the investigation is ongoing. Troopers were assisted in the investigation by the Henry County Drug Task Force and the Henry County Prosecutor's Office. Meth labs and those who use meth are often found as a result of an anonymous tip from a neighbor or friend.
Signs to look for Meth manufacturing are a strong ammonia or solvent smell like an auto body shop. Look for rubber tubing, ether or camp fuel cans, plastic bottles with white residue, Pseudoephedrine packages, lithium battery casings, and propane tanks with a blue or green discoloration around the valve.
Anyone with information about illegal drug use may call the Pendleton Post at 1-800-527-4752, or the Indiana State Police Drug Tip Line at 1-800-453-4756. Tips can be made and kept anonymous. The Indiana Meth Investigation System or IMIS, can also take tips on meth labs. Just go to www.meth.in.gov and click on the "Report Suspected Meth Activity" Link.

Ref : Watch G0A38131
Piaget Altiplano watch, 40 mm. Case in 18K pink gold. Sapphire case back. Manufacture Piaget 1205P ultra-thin self-winding mechanical movement, the thinnest in the world (3 mm thick), with small seconds and date. 22K pink-gold oscillating weight.
Metal: Pink gold
Metal weight (gr): 32.1
Strap type: Alligator
Strap colour: Brown
Strap buckle: Ardillon buckle
Case shape: Round
Case diameter: 40 mm
Case thickness: 6.36 mm
Dial colour: Silvered
Index: Batons
Waterproofness: 03 ATM
Specificities: Sapphire case back
Movement: Self-winding mechanical
New complication, new double world record for thinness. For the first time ever, an Altiplano watch integrates a calendar and holds pride of place as the thinnest watch in the world in its category, for both its movement and its case. Embracing the back-to-the-basics philosophy to perfection, its 3.00 mm movement, the thinnest in the world, and its 6.36 mm thick case illustrate that technique and sophistication, however great they may be, can be comfortably housed in a small space. The 40 mm diameter pink-gold-fashioned case, specifically designed to host the 1205P movement, also incorporates the date and small seconds. The dial arranged on three levels and the subtle interplay between single and double hour-markers reiterate the codes cherished by Piaget's ultra-thin, self-winding watches. A timelessly pure luxury watch, which is poised to become a genuine classic that will stand the test of time.
The twelfth movement dedicated to the Altiplano Collection, calibre 1205P is the rightful heir to the 1208P first presented by Piaget in 2010. It ventures even further beyond the boundaries of excellence with its record-breaking 3.00 mm thinness. No fewer than 221 meticulously designed and hand-assembled components compete against each other in an incredibly delicate mechanical composition. In keeping with the tradition of off-centred indicators, the date aperture at 9 o'clock merges perfectly with the small seconds set at 5 o'clock. As part of Piaget's constant effort to stand out from the crowd, the 1205P movement is equipped with a special index assembly, which bears the "P" of Piaget like a secret signature. The circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained bottom plate, the bevelled bridges, the sunburst wheels and the blued screws round off this exceptional movement, evoking the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.
1205P Movement
The 1205P movement has an off-centre small seconds dial at 5 o'clock and a date display at 9 o'clock, the traditional Piaget Manufacture signature. The world's thinnest self-winding winding movement with date measures just 3 mm, a record for its category. All Piaget's ultra-thin watchmaking expertise is brought into play, the movement's components are slimmed down and the spaces between them reduced to the minimum. The components have been shaped to make the movement as thin as possible, some wheels being as little as 0.12 mm in thickness. The oscillating weight, in 22-carat pink gold, has been miniaturised and mounted off-centre so as to be fully integrated in the thickness of the movement. This distinctive mode of construction required extremely complex calculations to determine the weight distribution that would ensure optimum winding. This ultra-thin movement boasts outstanding Manufacture finishes. The bridges are bevelled and decorated with the circular Côtes de Genève, the mainplate is circular-grained and the screws blued. The 1205P movement also features sunburst wheels and a special regulator bearing the Piaget "P" signature.

Before 4 p.m. Friday, a 3-year-old girl in Waldorf died when a garage door closed on her.
According to Charles County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Diane Richardson, the child was at home with her mother.
The child slipped away unnoticed to the garage, then proceeded to push the garage door button from inside the garage, which was within her reach.
"She apparently pressed the button, and we think she ran under the door to go play outside," Richardson said.
It is unclear at this time if the child played with the button previous to what Richardson called the "freak accident."
The garage door caught the child's back and pinned her to the floor. She was lying on her stomach when her mother came out to the garage after hearing the garage door.
The child and mother shared the home with other family members, and when the mother heard the garage door move, she thought nothing of it because it was a time of day when another family member was normally coming home. When no one came inside the house within a few minutes, the mother went out to the garage to investigate.
At this time, it is unclear if the child was alive before being transported to Civista Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Richardson added that police tested the garage door yesterday and detected no malfunction but are still investigating the possibility of a malfunction. The garage door sensors, which should have detected the child's movement and prohibited the door from coming down, are only six inches from the floor.
"An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death," Richardson said.

EU Nobel Peace Prize nomination in picturesPosted on October 12, 2012
When Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize, comedy songrwiter Tom Lehrer declared that satire had become obsolete. Today we learn that the Peace Prize has been given to the European Union – accordingly, satire has now been dragged out of her retirement home and beaten by riot police.
In case you were wondering why the EU could possibly be given the Nobel Peace Prize, here is a short, pictorial summary of the peace Brussels has brought to Greece and Spain in the last 18 months:

The free classes will be conducted online.
The office is looking for volunteers to become trained storm spotters — who can learn to identify potentially tornadic storms and other severe weather conditions before they occur.
Although online classes have been available before, this is the first time they will be conducted with a live instructor who will guide students through the one-hour class, according to senior forecaster Jason Runyen.
This year's classes will be 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14; 10 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19; 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21; 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23; 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24; 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26; 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 28; 10 a.m. Saturday, March 2; 7 p.m. Sunday, March 3; and 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 5.
Storm spotters, the service says, help to protect the lives and property of citizens of South Texas by relaying critical life-saving information in a timely manner.

5 Pretty Hairstyles for Every Hair Type
Our three April 2010 cover girls each have sported every different kind of hairstyle you can name—and each and every one looks totally gorge! (How infuriating / fascinating, right?) Take heart as whether your hair is wavy, curly, straight or some mix of all three, we've got red carpet-worthy looks you can pull off too!SEE MORE
Wavy hair idea #1: An unfussy updo.Amanda shone in a French twist at the Dear John premiere. Love that she left face-framing pieces in front to keep her hair looking soft and romantic instead of uptight.
Wavy hair idea #2: Half-up, half-down 'do.Sweeten up your look by parting it down the middle like Leighton and pulling the sides up. Curl just the ends and you're red-carpet-ready in less than 10 minutes.
Wavy hair idea #3: A side bun.An unfussy low-do can be just as pretty as something traditionally higher. For style like Zoe's, make a deep side part, add a curl enhancing texturizer, gather all your hair to one side and create a loose chignon with an elastic. Pin any stray ends, but don't stress about being too perfect—the best part about this look is the softer the sexier.
Wavy hair idea #4: Old-Hollywood curls.Dress up your hair by adding some gel to your deep side part and pairing it with loose, sexy ringlets. With hair this glam, keep the makeup simple, but don't forget to groom your brows. For natural-looking arches, try Revlon Brow Specialist Kit.
Wavy hair idea #5: An updo with attitude.For this fancy yet still "undone"-feeling style, texture and volume are key. Spritz dry hair with a spray gel like Clairol Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Tousling Spray Gel, twist and pin up in one-inch sections all around the back of your head. Finish by letting down a few pieces in front—just don't forget the classic red lipstick!
Straight hair idea #1: Go extra smooth and straight.Zoe looks sophisticated and sexy with sleek hair and a side part. To battle curls and frizz, try a straightening lotion, like Avon Advance Techniques Super Straight Smoothing Balm before you blow-dry.
Straight hair idea #2: Add volume to your ponytail.Look to this blue-eyed beauty for ponytail inspiration! Keep it neat and simple, but dress up your look with volume at the crown (try John Frieda Root Awakening Boost for a little lift) and a pretty pink gloss. Want full-looking lips like Amanda's? "Use a gloss one shade lighter than your lipstick and dab it on the center of your lips with your ring finger," says her makeup artist, Moninka Blunder.
Straight hair idea #3: Flatten out.Leighton keeps it simple with a middle part and super-straight hair. To keep a long, layered cut frizz-free, try using Clairol Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Split-End Protector on damp hair, blow-dry using that concentrated end attachment that comes with most blow dryers, then run through it in sections using a flatiron. For a smooth finish, run another dab of protector cream over the top layer of your hair from part to ends.
Straight hair idea #4: An evening braidGot sparkly earrings worthy of showing off? Make a side part and add a French braid on either side like Zoe, joining both sides together in the back with an elastic that matches your hair color.
Straight hair idea #5: A strong middle part.Keep your blowout casual with a middle part and neutral gloss. For soft waves like Amanda's, use a round bristle brush and spritz in a heat protector like Tresemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray before you style.
Curly hair idea #1: Go for a short cut.Zoe's hair looks great at any length, but the combo of a shorter cut, curls and side bangs is feminine and flirty. Her go-to makeup pro, Amy Oresman, says, "Zoe is a tomboy, but she loves to glam it up when she gets the chance." Her must-have product on her "no-makeup days" (she has those too!) is highlighter, says Oresman. Try Mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter on the light points of your face (cheek bones and bridge of the nose) and shine on.
Curly hair idea #2: Let loose."Blair is very styled and strict, so I always go in the opposite direction for Leighton," says her hairstylist, Charles Baker Strahan. So go ahead, let your hair down, add a severe side part, messy curly-meets-wavy locks and funky, smoky eye makeup for a look that's more punk than Upper East Side princess.
Curly hair idea #3: Try pulling hair back.Amanda looks like a modern Brigitte Bardot with soft waves and a little lift in front. For easy glamour like hers, gather a small section at the top of your hairline, tease it at the roots, gently pull back and secure with bobby pins. Finish by spritzing with a light hold spray (we like Nexxus Comb Thru Natural Hold Design and Finishing Mist).
Curly hair idea #4: Try wearing it all on one side.Forget the middle ground! Wearing it all on one side ups the glam factor. Create big waves by wrapping hair around the barrel of your curling iron and finger-combing for a tousled look. Flip it over on one side and you're good to go!
Curly hair idea #5: Go a shade lighter.Sometimes a gal just wants to shake things up. Leighton lightened her look for the MTV Movie Awards with blond highlights and a twisty updo. "She takes a lot of beauty risks," says Strahan. "She's willing to try anything and likes to keep it fun." Want to change up your color like Leighton? Try Clairol Herbal Essences Shade-on-Shade Highlights.

This event with UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres features findings from UNHCR's report, Children on the Run, which examines the increasing numbers of children from Central America and Mexico who head off alone to find refuge in the United States, fleeing violence, insecurity, and abuse. The discussion provides analysis on the reasons behind the growing migration of this vulnerable population and offers recommendations. Read the report here.
This discussion explores how the 2014 Greek Presidency of the European Union and the United States can work to address the challenges of managing migration while meeting humanitarian obligations and nurturing economic growth.
This panel discussion offers perspectives on border policy management from leading officials in the Canadian, Mexican, and U.S. governments, and showcases the MPI book, "Managing Borders in an Increasingly Borderless World."
During this public briefing in Guatemala City (conducted in both English and Spanish), the Co-Directors of the Migration Policy Institute-convened Regional Migration Study Group, MPI President Demetrios G. Papademetriou and Senior Fellow Doris Meissner, presented the Study Group's final report, Thinking Regionally to Compete Globally: Leveraging Migration and Human Capital in the U.S., Mexico, and Central America.
This report analyzes how governments ought to best allocate their resources to address the risks associated with migration—the "immigration harms" that undermine the positive economic and social benefits of immigration—including choosing which threats to tackle and where to prioritize enforcement efforts. Immigration policymakers can learn from other public policy regulation efforts to ensure that regulatory actions advance the public interest.
This report analyzes mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) between countries, which allow professionals to transfer their skills and experiences across borders more effectively. The report, part of a series on the recognition of foreign credentials, evaluates existing MRAs and discusses the prospects for cooperation between the United States and the European Union.
This edited volume showcases approaches toward border management in Europe, Central America, and North America, and reflects on the challenges that countries in these regions face in managing their borders. The book brings together perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic on what border security means in practice, the challenges that continue to evade policymakers, and what policies have been the most (and least) successful in achieving "secure" borders.
UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees T. Alexander Aleinikoff joined Kathleen Newland for a discussion on the Syrian refugee and internally displaced population, now considered one of the biggest humanitarian emergencies in a generation.

No. Apps are extremely limited when it comes to modifying anything outside their sandbox. You might find an app capable of sorting the icons if your device is jail broken. But there definitely isn't one available on the app store.

Winnipeg, MB (SportsNetwork.com) - Matt Halischuk scored the winning goal early in the third period as the Winnipeg Jets took a 4-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday.
Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little and Michael Frolik each posted a goal and an assist for the Jets, who had lost six of seven coming into the game. Al Montoya stopped 26 shots in the win.
"I thought one of the things we did very well was we got the pucks to the goal line and I thought we put a lot of pressure on their defense, a lot of shots to the net so there was a lot of really good things in that game," said Winnipeg head coach Claude Noel. "I thought a lot of guys had a really good game."
Henrik Zetterberg and Danny Dekeyser each scored for the Red Wings, who had a three-game winning streak broken up. Jimmy Howard allowed all four goals on 47 shots in the loss.
"You know, I didn't think we were great tonight in any way, but you got to give the opposition credit too," said Detroit head coach Mike Babcock. "They were at home and they gave up five goals the other night and they were ready to skate. I though they played hard and we didn't play hard enough or didn't have the energy to play hard enough."
With the score tied in the third, the Jets took a 3-2 lead at 4:27 of the third as Michael Frolik snapped a pass from the right boards to the slot where Halischuk one-timed it home for his first of the season.
Ladd gave Winnipeg some insurance with 9:03 to play as he backhanded in a rebound of a Devin Setoguchi shot for his fourth of the season.
The Jets took a 1-0 lead with 59.5 seconds to play in the first period as Kyle Quincey couldn't hold the puck at the left point and Little went the other way. His first shot was stopped, but he followed it up and put in his rebound for his eighth of the season.
Detroit tied the game at 7:09 of the second period thanks to Zetterberg's eight of the year as he threw the puck on net from the left wing and it went off the skate of Grant Clitsome's skate and in.
The Red Wings went up 2-1 three minutes later as Stephen Weiss won a left circle faceoff back to the point for Niklas Kronwall, who then sent it over to the high slot where Dekeyser slapped it in for a shorthanded goal and his first career marker.
Winnipeg, though, tied the game with 2:56 left in the middle frame as a turnover in the neutral zone by Mark Scheifele was taken the other way and from the right wing he passed it to the slot where Frolik shot it in.
Detroit hosts Dallas on Thursday ... Winnipeg plays in Chicago on Wednesday
... The Jets have won three of the last four games against the Red Wings ...
Winnipeg went 0-for-6 on the power play, while Detroit was 0-for-3.

MLB Scout School: Day 9
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."
-Anaïs Nin, Diary, 1969
I was laying in the pool chair, under the night sky, with the hood of my sweatshirt pulled down over my eyes. I had just gotten done with my individual meeting with my instructor and I was disappointed in myself. I felt that I should have done better with my scouting reports.
I have fought for just about every baseball opportunity I've ever had. I was 13, when my baseball coach told me he didn't want me on his team because I was a girl. But I didn't quit. I was in high school when my coach said I couldn't try out for the team. Then at a camp, I pitched against them; after that they let me tryout and play. I was 16, when one of my baseball heroes laughed when I said my goal was to coach college baseball. He said no man would listen to a woman on a ball field.
After being an assistant college baseball coach for 3 years, I went on and coached men's pro baseball and even there, I was told that people expected me to quit. Two years later, I was talking to a MLB manager in the lobby at the Baseball Winter Meetings, telling him that I wanted to throw BP to his team. His response: "why the hell should I let you do that?" And then a few sentences later he asked me if I wanted to go up to his hotel room.
Six months ago, I asked the Major League Scouting Bureau a question pertaining to my academic work. Frank Marcos, the Director of the MLSB, emailed me back and asked if I would be interested in coming to Scout school. Of course, I said yes. The Cleveland Indians then agreed to sponsor me.
The most special part of scout school for me is that I was accepted from the very beginning. I didn't have to fight my way in. I was invited. I was welcomed. And as I laid in my pool chair, feeling a little sorry for myself, I also thought of Mr. Marcos. Because from the beginning, he believed in me. And I am so grateful for that.
I want to be the scout school participant that Mr. Marcos thought I could be. And I know I'll never quit trying.

Justine- Continue your pursuits in this game and I wish the very best in whichever direction it takes you. You've worked extremely hard here and I know it's been noticed by our instructors, staff and students alike.
Enjoy the pool chair.

After carefully analyzing your travel patterns, budget and a host of other factors, you've concluded that you need an aircraft. Now comes a decision that can be at least as tough: Should you buy new or used?
Money » Preowned Aircraft
July 1, 2008
June 1, 2008
Increasing inventory amid a backdrop of economic uncertainty is never welcome in the used aircraft sales arena, but this time around at least we're just witnessing the continuation of a predictable cycle. In fact, many buyers believe the market is making its long-awaited return to normal levels.
April 1, 2008
The continuing low-interest-rate environment coupled with a weak U.S. dollar against many international currencies and long backlogs of orders for new jets continue to buoy the used-aircraft market.
February 1, 2008
In the first quarter of 2006, phones weren't ringing for used-jet sellers. Last year, the situation was the opposite, as activity out of the gate was head-spinning and never slowed. It's anybody's guess how '08 will unfold, but one thing seems clear: no longer does the market's health depend solely on the U.S.
December 1, 2007
Like sharks hunting for fresh blood, business jet buyers in 2007 used brokers as sonar to zero in on their hard-to-find prey. Then, early in the acquisition process, some customers tended to over-negotiate, not fully grasping how rapidly the market was changing. Consequently, they let their quarry slip away and once again found themselves swimming against the current.
October 1, 2007
After the recent capitulation in the equity market, an asset manager who is in charge of preserving his boss' capital was taking the temperature of the aircraft business. He was doing so at least partly because he saw a correlation-though admittedly not a clear or definitive one-between the appetite for corporate jets and the overall health of the economy.
August 1, 2007
Bigger isn't always better, which is one reason many attendees like the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE), which takes place in Switzerland each May. They see it as a scaled-down version of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention that is held annually in the U.S.
June 1, 2007
At a dinner party recently, the subject turned to private jets and someone asked, "If you could have any jet, which would you pick?" Someone else blurted out, "an F-16," and everyone laughed. If you think about it, an F-16 might well give you a decided advantage over business rivals, but it would likely also raise a few concerns.
April 1, 2007
A few years ago, I was surprised to receive a call from an analyst at UBS, the global financial services firm, who asked me general questions about the used-jet market. Since then, this analyst has broadened his research, and he now regularly polls the players in the field, including brokers and dealers.
February 1, 2007
Like a train pulling out of the station, preowned-aircraft sales chugged at the start of 2006 but gathered speed as the year unfolded. By the fourth quarter, it was full steam ahead and now the sales surge looks poised to roll well down the tracks of the new year.
""When I made the film The Invention of Lying, they gave me a private jet for getting back and forth between New York and London. I thought, 'I will never use it' but I ended up using it every weekend. You turn up, right, and the airport is completely empty. I mean, there's just someone at the desk and then the pilot, who says, 'Are you ready to go?' and you say, 'Don't you want to see my passport?' and he goes, 'Oh yeah, I suppose I'd better.'" "
-—actor and comedian Ricky Gervais

|Feasting on the Fourth
By Guest Columnist Chef Laura Frankel
As much as I love the Jewish holidays and the family gatherings, I also enjoy the patriotic holidays. There are no halachic rules that tell me what to eat and where to eat it, so I am at a level playing field as my other Americans. I also am a patriot. This great country of ours allows us to live our lives and observe our holidays without persecution. We are fortunate and blessed to be here and we should celebrate.
Finally, I love good BBQ! Spicy melt in your mouth brisket on a lightly toasted roll and creamy-crunchy coleslaw melting into the sauce and a heaping side of delicious smoky baked beans... WOW, what is not to love?
And if you are serving dairy, or enjoying a vegetarian 4th, try

Landlords you may need a licence to let a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) - a rented property with shared facilities. You must also maintain good housing conditions, otherwise tenants can complain to the council.
It is mandatory for certain larger HMO's to have a licence if they are:
· of three or more storeys
· occupied by five or more persons who form more than one household
Examples of a HMO that needs a licence, let to 5 or more unrelated people:
· A semi detached house with two floors and also a loft conversion
· A terraced house with two floors and also a habitable cellar
· A new build property with three or more floors
As a landlord, you need to submit a HMO licensing application form. Application forms and guidance notes can be downloaded from the Related Documents section below or by contacting Housing Services. You would usually apply for a licence yourself, but if you use a managing agent they can apply for you.
When you apply, you must tell the following people who have an interest in the HMO:
· the owner of the HMO
· the future licence holder
· mortgagee
· long leasehold tenants
· any person who has agreed to be bound by the conditions of the licence
A number of certificates will need to accompany the application form;
· Landlords Gas Safety Certificate
· Design, installation and commissioning certificates for the L2 Fire alarm system and/or test certificate
· Emergency lighting test certificate
· Service contract for alarm and fire systems
· Periodic test certificate for the electrical installation
· Portable appliance test certificates (if applicable)
· Building Regulations completion certificate (if applicable)
· Current tenancy agreements
A licence will normally last for five years and will need to be renewed before the end of that period. The council can shorten the time period if they feel it is necessary.
The council will look at many things to help them process your licence application, like the suitability of the:
· HMO for the number of tenants
· facilities - kitchen, bathroom and toilets
· landlord - are they fit and proper
· management arrangements
The council must be satisfied that you are a suitable person to hold a licence, otherwise they may ask for someone else to hold it.
If the council refuses to grant you a licence, they will try to solve the issues with you. If nothing can be worked out and a licence is still refused, you can appeal to a Residential Property Tribunal.
If a council refuses a licence they must make an Interim Management Order which will enable it to take over management of the HMO. They can do so for a maximum of 12 months.
If at the end of the 12 months a licence still cannot be granted, the council must make a Final Management Order. The final order puts in place long-term management by the council for the HMO, which can last a maximum of five years. When a final order ends, either a licence can be granted or the council makes a new final management order.
You can appeal against the making of an interim or a final management order through a Residential Property Tribunal.
If you are granted a licence for your HMO, you must meet the conditions that your local housing authority sets out. Examples of conditions they set out are:
· producing an annual gas safety certificate
· making sure all electrical equipment and furniture that you supply is safe
· installing smoke alarms and making sure they work properly – see section of Fire Safety below
· giving tenants a copy of the statement of terms for living in the HMO
A council may also set additional conditions, like:
· standard of facilities
· management of the HMO
· how you deal with tenant behaviour
All these conditions are to make sure you maintain your HMO to a good standard and manage it well. If you disagree with any conditions that have been set, you can appeal to a Residential Property Tribunal.
As a landlord, you should be aware that the circumstances at your HMO might change in any of the following ways:
· the house is no longer in multiple occupation
· your tenant has allowed more people to live there than the HMO licence allows
· the licence holder is no longer suitable - fit and proper - to hold a licence
· the management is no longer suitable to manage an HMO
· you want to change the HMO licence holder
· the HMO is no longer suitable to be considered an HMO
· you want to change the HMO to occupation by a single household
· you want to sell the property
Some of these changes may be the result of local authority decisions. Others may happen because of decisions taken by you or your tenants.
If you plan to make changes then you must tell the local authority. It may need to change the conditions of your licence, cancel it, or give you a different type of licence.
If the changes you plan to make affect your licence conditions, you can apply to your local authority to change your licence conditions. You can do this using the form called 'Proposal for a variation of existing HMO licence conditions by consent' and you may need to pay an application fee. The form should include:
· details of the licence condition which needs to change
· how and why this change needs to be made
Sometimes your tenants may make changes or their circumstances may change that mean the HMO licence terms will be broken (eg a tenant has a child and too many people live in the house). If this happens, you should work out with them a way to make sure that the property meets the conditions of the licence. If you and the tenant cannot work out a solution, you must contact your local authority to explain the difficulty.
If a HMO is of a description which should be licensed but is not, it will be an offence to allow it to be occupied. If the appropriate person (owner, agent etc) is convicted of operating a HMO without a licence, not only can they be prosecuted, the Local Authority can apply to the Residential Property Tribunal to have any housing benefit repaid and occupiers can apply to have rent repaid.
Fire safety measures are now required in ALL HMO's (whether it needs a Licence or not) and the council recommends that you work towards meeting the guidance 'A guide to Fire & Security Protection in Multi-Occupied Residential Properties' which is produced by the Homestamp consortium. Please see the Related Documents section below or by following the relevant web links. You may also need to comply with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
Visit the Communities & Local Government web site for more detailed information. Alternatively, please contact the Housing Services team on 01782 742543

Buccaneer Baseball closes regular season with win over Furman
Sunday, May 23, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 23, 2004) - With excellent pitching by senior lefty Josh Kite (Greeneville, Tenn.) and timely hitting, East Tennessee State defeated Furman in the final game of the regular season, 5-2, Sunday afternoon from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. East Tennessee State (28-28, 15-15 Southern Conference) took the early lead with a single run in the second inning and two more runs in the third. With one out in the second, senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) belted hit 11th home run of the season over the right-center field wall. The blast was Howdeshell's third of the series. Senior center fielder Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) led off the second with a double to right-center. With one out, sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) laced another double to right-center, driving in Turner. After moving to third on a wild pitch, Byrne crossed the plate on a ground out by junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.). The Bucs added to their lead as they manufactured a run in the bottom of the fifth. Senior third baseman Troy Moock (Baton Rouge, La.) walked to lead off the inning, stole second and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Turner. Sophomore designated hitter Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.) scored Moock with a with a clutch single to right field. ETSU scored their final run of the afternoon in the bottom of the seventh. With two outs, Byrne singled up the middle then scored as Moore lined his NCAA-leading 30th double off of the left-field wall. Furman (21-33, 11-19 SoCon) rallied for two runs in the top of the eighth. Sam McLain led off the inning with a walk then was replaced at first by Nick Wajda. After a walk by Matthew Betsill, Craig Caudill lined a two-out double to left-center, driving in Wajda and Betsill. But the Paladins could not complete their comeback, as Moore pitched a scoreless ninth, tying the ETSU record with his sixth save of the season. Kite (3-3) was tremendous this afternoon, allowing no runs on four hits in six innings of work. He also walked four and struck out five. Junior righty Trevor Smith (Newport, Tenn.) also pitched a scoreless inning in relief, allowing no hits and striking out one. "Josh Kite was phenomenal this afternoon," said Buccaneer head coach Tony Skole following the game. "For us to be successful, we need great starting pitching. And that is what Josh gave us today." Matt Klinker (3-3) was charged with the loss, allowing four runs on four hits in five innings. He also walked two and struck out two on the day. Howdeshell led the Bucs at the plate, going 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored while Byrne went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. With his seventh-inning double, Moore extended his hitting streak to a team-best 19 games. Nick Mershon went 2-for-4 for the Paladins while Caudill drove in two runs. "Today was a must-win game for our baseball program," commented Skole. "We could not go into the conference tournament on a four-game losing streak." East Tennessee State will now head to Charleston, S.C. for the Southern Conference Baseball Tournament, sponsored by the Virginia-Carolina Peanut Growers and the National Peanut Board. The sixth-seeded Bucs will face third-seeded The Citadel at 7:30 Wednesday evening. "We are excited about going down to Charleston and facing The Citadel on Wednesday night," said Skole. "Traditionally that ball game is one of the greatest atmospheres that college baseball has to offer."

Very Nice 4 inch speaker containing center channel; paired with the image 5's sound very good. Not top of the line stuff but great value for the price Pros: Price Was this review helpful? Yes No Great little center! Written By JRM, Albuquerque on Sunday, June 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great little center. I was looking for a center that would match the sound profile of my NHT V2 2.4's. They have aluminum tweeters, so that's why i went with the PSB (that and the sensitivity rating matched closely). Was running a Polk CS10 which sounded, well terrible. Pros: "titanium coated", aluminum tweeters. Composite woofers. Baffled enclosure. Cons: Screen that fits over the drivers could be more sonically transparent. Minus one star, but overall a great pick. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sound Written By JD, Fort Lauderdale, FL on Thursday, June 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speaker for the sound and price. Very impressed with clear voice sound reproduction. Pros: Sound, price Cons: Magnetic shielding, as a center channel next to my equipment, I had to change the position of wi-fi. Was this review helpful? Yes No Love PSB's! Written By Kevin in Atlanta, Atlanta, GA on Saturday, July 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are matched to my PSB T-5's for the mains and PSB B4's for the rear as my speaker set up. Gotta say these just reinforce my love for PSB products. I wanted a c5's but was limited by the mantle size above my fireplace. But the center channel is not limited as it sounds great. Handles all the dialogue clearly and without taking away anything from the action scenes. Pros: very clear dialogue and great sound. Cons: wish they were smaller, but not a big problem. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No PSB Image C4 Written By JR, Templeton,CA on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speaker for the size and price. Very impressed with the sound. Recommended by the Crutchfield adviser. I bought the PSB C4 speakers for the front. Next I will be buying the PSB C4 Sub, rear and outdoor speakers. Pros: Sound, size and price Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No A great little center channel Written By AndrewA, Ft. Collins, Co on Wednesday, March 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got this speaker to enhance my existing PSB setup of two bookshelf and subwoofer for my entertainment system. It blends flawlessly with my setup and provides the additional clarity that I was hoping for. I definitely recommend this unit to anyone already having PSB speakers or anyone that wants a solid midrange performer. Pros: Size, PSB quality Cons: Set up for smaller systems and might get lost with larger speakers. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice even tone Written By Dave, Arizona on Thursday, August 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Simply put, a very nice center channel speaker. I have the PSB Image B5 speakers to match this, and they work very smoothly together. I used to struggle with my older center channel being muddy in with the mix of the stereo speakers - but not with this. It's also quite small, so fits well in a smaller entertainment unit my TV is mounted over. These speakers focus on clear sound reproduction that's clear without booming - and this certainly gets that sound without breaking the bank. FYI, my system is for both music and theater, and driven by a Harmon Kardon AVR 300 from the late 1990's. Pros: Nice, clear and rounded sound. It fits nicely in a small footprint, sounding much larger than it really is. A good price for a very nice speaker. Cons: I would have gotten the slightly larger C5 if I could have fitted it into my entertainment center - that one provides a little more expansive frequency response. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
