John James Ferris (21 May 1867 in Sydney – 17 November 1900 in Durban), a left-arm swing bowler, was one of the few cricketers to play Test cricket for more than one country.
Born in Sydney, Australia, Ferris made his first-class debut for New South Wales against Alfred Shaw's touring English team on his home ground in 1886/87. He took seven wickets in the match, including five in the second innings,[1] and after several more good displays was selected for the first Test, also at Sydney. The England first innings was a disaster as they collapsed to what remains their lowest Test total of 45 all out, Ferris bowling unchanged with Charlie Turner, but despite his nine wickets in the game England, inspired by Billy Barnes' second-innings 6–28, scraped to a 13-run win.
Ferris took another nine-wicket haul in the second Test, but again England were victorious, though in the only Test of the 1887/88 tour he could manage "only" six as the Englishmen came out on top yet again. He went with the Australians to England in 1888, and at Lord's for the first time in his career played in a winning Test side, his partnership with Turner accounting for no less than eighteen England wickets as Australia recorded a 61-run win. The Ashes remained in England, however, as the home side won the other two Tests. In 1889 Ferris was named as one of the first Wisden Cricketers of the Year.
He went to England again in 1890, taking 13 wickets in another series defeat and no less than 186 in the season as a whole, but then moved there permanently, playing a single Test for his adopted country against South Africa in 1891/92. Coincidentally, his former Australian team-mate Billy Murdoch also made his first England appearance in this match, which was not given Test status until some time later. Ferris' performance helped crush the home side by an innings and 189 runs, but it was to prove his final international appearance. He had taken 61 Test wickets at an average of just 12.70; only George Lohmann had a better career average.
Ferris played several seasons of county cricket (1892–1895) with Gloucestershire, for whom he scored his only hundred in 1893 but was otherwise something of a failure. At the end of his career, he appeared in a single Sheffield Shield match for South Australia in 1895/96, opening the batting but making nought, then finally in 1897/98 in two more games for New South Wales. In his last match he made a half-century but did not bowl a single ball.
Ferris' end was a tragic one: he enlisted in the British Army for the Second Boer War, but contracted typhoid and died at Durban, South Africa at the age of 33.

Race 3 of 36 on Sprint Cup circuit
Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Las Vegas, NV
March 13, 2005 3:05 pm EST
1.5 miles
401.00 miles
|Ryan Newman
|Although he has qualified in the top five here each of the last three years, has yet to win a pole at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, making it one of only 10 tracks on which he has not won a pole; ran ninth in California two weeks ago to climb seven spots in the standings to 12th - the same position he was in after two races last year; took the checkered flag just twice last year on the heels of a series-high eight wins in 2003; looking to improve on 27th-place finish here in 2004: "We struggled pretty badly in Vegas last year. That was probably our worst showing of the 2004 season. We didn't test at the track last year, but we made sure we were out there this year for the pre-season test. We had a great test session there and hopefully that will show this weekend."
|Greg Biffle
|Took the checkered flag in California two weeks ago for his fourth career Nextel Cup victory; has won twice in the last three races dating to 2004 finale at Homestead-Miami Motor Speedway; three of his five top-five finishes dating to the beginning of 2004 have been victories; moved up 19 spots in the standings to fifth with 273 points, 67 off the pace set by Roush Racing teammate Kurt Busch; after failing to qualify for this event in 2003, was knocked out with engine problems after just 23 laps last year, finishing 40th.
|Kurt Busch
|The 26-year-old defending series champion followed up a runner-up finish in the Daytona 500 with a third two weeks ago in California to take over the top spot in the standings with 340 points; trying to become the first driver since Jeff Gordon in 1997-98 to repeat as series champion; dating to last season, has 11 top-10 finishes in the last 12 races; the Las Vegas native has qualified in the top 10 for this event each of the last four years; best finish here was a ninth last year after qualifying second; saddled with a 38th-place finish here in 2003 after being part of a multi-car crash on lap 177.
|Kasey Kahne
|Set a track qualifying record here last year with a lap of 174.904 mph before finishing second to then-defending series champion Kenseth for the second straight race; was one of five runner-up finishes last year, tied with Mark Martin for most on the circuit; has struggled with finishes of 22nd and 40th this year, leaving him 34th in the standings; an accident in California two weeks ago led to his fourth finish of 40th or worse in 38 career starts; the 2004 Rookie of the Year is still in search of his first career checkered flag.
|Matt Kenseth
|The 2003 series champion has won this event each of the last two seasons, accounting for two-thirds of his checkered flags since the beginning of 2003; victory here last year completed back-to-back triumphs over runner-up Kahne; after finishing outside of the top 10 in each of the final nine races of 2004, has not cracked the top 20 in either of the first two events this season; completed just 34 laps and was saddled with a 42nd-place finish in Daytona and late on-track problems led to a 26th in California the next week; trying not to get discouraged by the early results: "It's always disappointing when you don't get the result, but I'd rather be running good and leading laps and feeling like we're capable of winning races and not getting the finishes due to circumstances than to be running bad all day and then luck into a 10th- or 15th-place finish."
|Jimmie Johnson
|Ran second behind Greg Biffle in Auto Club 500 two weeks ago in his home state of California; after closing 2004 eight standings points behind Busch in the closest finish in series history, enters the third event of 2005 five points behind front-running Busch; only he and Busch have finished in the top five in each of the season's first two events; including impressive run to finish last season, has recorded eight straight top-10s, including four victories; led the series in victories (8), top-fives (20) and laps led (1,312) in 2004; ran 16th in this event last year, his worst finish in three starts here.
|Jeff Gordon
|Four-time series champion opened 2005 by taking the checkered flag in the Daytona 500 for the third time in his career; struggled with engine problems two weeks ago in California, finishing 30th after qualifying 28th; ended a streak of four straight finishes among the top three dating to last year; dropped to 10th in the standings, 82 points off the pace; won this race in 2001 but has not finished better than 15th in the last three events here; led 53 laps here in 2003 but was involved in a crash on lap 179, relegating him to 37th.
|Mark Martin
|The 46-year-old climbed four spots to third in the standings following a seventh-place finish in the Auto Club 500 two weeks ago; ran sixth in season-opening Daytona 500 and is one of four drivers with a top-10 in each of the first two events of 2005; while he has yet to win a premier series event this year, took the checkered flag in an IROC race in Daytona and won the Busch Series race in California; leads the IROC series with 12 career wins and the Busch Series with 46; won this event in 1998, setting a track record with an average speed of 146.554 mph; leads all drivers with six top-10s here, including a fifth last year after starting sixth.
|Tony Stewart
|Plagued by poor handling on his Chevrolet Monte Carlo, battled to a 17th-place finish in California two weeks ago; that result coupled with a seventh in the Daytona 500 has him seventh in the standings; has been in the top 10 in standings points after every race since the MBNA America 400 on September 21, 2003; has found success here, finishing in the top five four times in the last five years; his best finish over that stretch was a second in 2000; led 45 laps en route to a third-place finish here last year.
|Dale Earnhardt Jr.
|Opened season with a third-place finish in Daytona but endured multiple tire problems en route to a miserable 32nd the following week in California; it was the fourth time in the last seven races he did not crack the top 20; fell to 14th in the standings - his worst ranking since being 18th after this race in 2003; qualified 36th and finished 35th following handling difficulties here last year - a far cry since being runner-up to Matt Kenseth here after qualifying fourth in 2003; only other top-10 finish in five events here was a 10th after starting third and leading 42 laps in 2000.

De La Rosa prepares for return!
By Jose Reyes
Unbeaten former WBC Youth welterweight champion "King" James De La Rosa (18-0, 12 KOs) has solidified himself as a true prospect in the thick welterweight division.

The eighth of March is a special day, which is marked with a red color in Russian calendar and is celebrated as the International Women's Day (IWD) in the country. Started as a political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, but primarily the states of former Soviet bloc, i.e. Eastern Europe. In Russia, the day lost its political flavor, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love to the women around them in a way somewhat similar to Mother's Day and St. Valentine's Day mixed together.

Big fight in small town!
By Robert Coster reporting from Amneville-les-Thermes, France
The small town of Amneville (pop. 25,000) in the beautiful Moselle region, 25 kilometers from the German border, is feeling the crunch of the world economic crisis as steel mills are closing and people losing their jobs. This week however, the hard hit people of Amneville have something to cheer about. On Friday two former world champions clash in a dramatic bout that will send one of them into definitive retirement. French hero, former WBA junior featherweight champion Mayhar Monshipour (30-3-2, 20 KOs) squares off against former IBF jr bantamweight champion Felix Machado (25-9, 12 KOs) of Venezuela. (more…)
Tatsuyoshi KO'd in Thailand!
By Joe Koizumi
Despite our commission's continual dissuasion and despite our boxing world's strong opposition, ex-WBC bantam champ Joichiro Tatsuyoshi (20-7-1, 14 KOs), 118, went abroad again to continue fighting and miserably suffered a bad TKO defeat by a mediocre Thai opponent named Sakai Jockygym, 118.75, at 1:03 of the seventh round on Sunday in Bangkok, Thailand. Tatsuyoshi's bad loss apparently tarnished his previous reputation as one of the most popular attractions ever produced in Japan. The three-time WBC champ, at his prime, surpassed even ticket-selling records of Fighting Harada and Yoko Gushiken. But Tatsuyoshi, already 38, is never what he used to be. The Japan Boxing Commission (JBC) declared his license forfeited because he cannot win over even a six-round boxer here in Japan. Tatsuyoshi previously suffered detached retina and have it operated by well-reputed ophthalmologists three or more times. He may lose his eyesight, if fighting on. (more…)
Froch-Taylor official (finally)!

A formal announcement was made by Ken Hershman, Senior VP and General Manager of Sports and Event Programming for SHOWTIME. (more…)
Valuev Camp Response!
It was with great surprise that Team Sauerland heard about Universum's press release regarding the fight between WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev and "champion in recess" Ruslan Chagaev. "Klaus-Peter Kohl´s remarks are untrue," Sauerland Event General Manager Chris Meyer said. "While requesting so many special permits from the WBA, he must have lost his sense for reality. Universum are responsible for the heavyweight chaos. The WBA's order was clear: Once Chagaev is fit again, he has to fight Valuev. However, Universum decided to take on Drumond instead. The fight was a farce. Drumond could have never become the official world champion because Valuev is the official champion!" (more…)
Full Report: Forbes-Davis!
By Sam DiTusa at ringside
For the multitudes out there who wondered if former champ Stevie Forbes had seen his best days, this reporter is here to tell you he has plenty of petrol left in his tank. Forbes improved to 34-7, 10 KOs with a devastating second round demolition of Jason Davis in front of a SRO crowd at the Spirit Mountain Casino near the Oregon coast. The show was promoted by Roy Jones Jr and "Square Ring" who did a very nice job, and was received well by the crowd. (more…)

Q&A: Giovanni Segura!
By Lee Bates
World ranked junior flyweight contender Giovanni Segura (19-1, 15 KOs) will look to redeem himself this Saturday when he faces WBA interim light flyweight champion Cesar Canchila (27-1, 21 KOs) in Mexicali, Mexico. The two fought each other this past July in Las Vegas in a fight where Canchila won a unanimous decision and the vacant WBA interim title. Segura started off strong winning the first two rounds and even scored a knockdown in the second round but it would be Canchila who would take control of the fight from that point on in route to victory. Fightnews spoke with Segura as he finished one of his final training sessions before his rematch with Canchila. He spoke on his first bout with Canchila, a proposed May 23 fight between Canchila and Calderon, and where he's gained extra motivation to win this rematch with Canchila. (more…)
Green announces comeback!
By Craig Watt
Former WBA light-heavyweight and WBC interim super-middleweight champion Danny Green (25-3, 22 KO's) announced today that he will return to the ring in his hometown of Perth, Western Australia on April 26th at the Challenger Stadium. He will take on 35 year old South African light-heavyweight Anthony van Niekerk (21-6-2, 13 KO's) in the first fight of his comeback. Green has not fought since December 2007 when he outpointed Croatia's Stipe Drews to win the WBA 175 pound title. Despite 16 months out of the ring the 36 year old Green has kept in good shape and this fight is the first of three bouts before he takes on former two-time WBA super-middleweight champion and current WBA#1 ranked middleweight Anthony Mundine(35-3, 24 KO's) in a revenge grudge match of their 2006 fight which should be one of Australia's richest fights in history, planned for the 40,000 seat Subiaco Oval, Perth, Western Australia in early 2010.

World title twinbill in Japan!
By Joe Koizumi
It is a unique world title twinbill as one fight is held in Tokyo and another in Kobe and they will be shown by a same network Nippon TV on Thursday. The first to be shown will be the WBC featherweight title bout, where Oscar Larios (65-6-1, 41 KOs), a Mexican warrior, will put his belt on the line against Japanese southpaw prospect Takahiro Aoh (16-1-1, 8 KOs) at the Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan. The second on air will be the WBC bantamweight title go, in which Hozumi Hasegawa (25-2, 9 KOs), a Japanese southpaw champ, will risk his throne against official challenger Vusi Malinga (18-2-1, 11 KOs) at the World Memorial Hall in Kobe. Hasegawa is making his eighth defense since he dethroned Veeraphol Nakhornluang-Promotion in 2005. (more…)
Chagaev Camp Responds!
Universum-Promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl is happy that WBA heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev wants a rematch against WBA champion (in recess) Ruslan Chagaev. Sauerland-Boxer Valuev, who won the title after Chagaev was idled by an ankle injury, said in an official statement yseterday, "Enough is enough. All this confusion has to end."
When will Chagaev-Valuev II take place?
Klaus-Peter Kohl: "That is up to the WBA. Last fall at the WBA Convention, we heard that the fight must take place by Summer 2009. Because Wilfried Sauerland and Valuev then requested and got approved a voluntary title defense against Evander Holyfield, the whole mess emerged that there were two WBA world champions at the same time. And this was despite the fact that we presented medical documents that Ruslan was fit at the start of the year and can fight again after his serious Achilles' tendon injury."
What is the new September deadline now?
Klaus-Peter Kohl: "Nikolai Valuev should have been named as only an interim champion. For us, he is no more than that. He clearly lost to Ruslan and will do so again. The Sauerland Team wanted in some incomprehensible way yet a second voluntary defense and the WBA gave us September 2009 as the deadline for the rematch. Now I am glad that Nikolai Valuev and his team have come to their senses. Their actions have only caused confusion. The boxing fans don't understand it anymore. But it will soon be clear that Ruslan is the only true WBA heavyweight champion."

By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Future Hall of Famer Shane Mosley is in Australia and will be ringside Wednesday to witness his good friend and world rated featherweight Billy Dib challenge Davey Browne for the IBF Pan Pacific Youth featherweight crown at The Cube, Campbelltown, NSW, Australia. Leading Australian promoter Fidel Tukel arranged to have Shane in Australia for Billy Dib's championship challenge. Tukel said. "It was a pleasure to bring Shane to Australia for Billy's bout against Davey Browne. Shane and Billy have been good friends for some time now so I am sure it will help him to perform at his best." Shane Mosley jumped on the scales where he weighed in at 76kg (167.6 lbs) fully dressed. Mosley said, " it's always great to come to Australia. I have been here before and enjoy myself each time. This is important fight for Billy so I am happy to be here." Regarding his fight against Antonio Margarito, Mosley was asked if the Mexican could punch. Mosley said, "I don't know – he never hit me."
Lee's Garden Party now in Ireland!
Middleweight contender Andy Lee's disappointment over a scheduled Madison Square Garden date falling through has proven to be short lived after he secured a place on the Hunky Dorys World Title Fight Night at The O2, Dublin on March 21st. Lee was set to top the bill at the famous New York venue on March 16th but despite that show falling through Lee's training won't go to waste with promoter Brian Peters adding him to an already star studded line-up at The O2 on Saturday week. The main event features Dublin's own Bernard Dunne challenging for Ricardo Cordoba's WBA Super Bantamweight title in the first World title fight on Irish soil in 13 years. (more…)
Amir Khan's Greatest Challenge!
By Craig Watt
When British boxer Amir Khan won the Silver medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics at lightweight he captivated the UK boxing public, partly as he was just 17 years of age. Viewing figures in the UK were in excess of 15 million for his final when he lost to Cuban veteran Mario Kindelan 30-23 on the scorecards. When he turned professional with Frank Warren and Sports Network in 2005 he was destined to become one of the UK's top fighters in a period when Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton had elevated the country's boxing pedigree to new heights.

Former Aussie champ killed
By Craig Watt
Former Australian Heavyweight champion Vince Cervi was shot dead in Preston, Melbourne, Australia last night after an altercation ended in his shooting. The 41 year old Cervi retired in 1997 from the sport after being Australian Heavyweight Champion in 1995 when he secured the title with a third round stoppage of James Grima in Melbourne. Inside the ring he is perhaps best known for his fight with Joe Bugner in September 1995 when he lost a twelve round decision to the former world heavyweight title challenger. This fight was the first in Bugner's comeback after over 8 years in retirement. He also fought infront of 38,000 fans in 1992 on the undercard of the Jeff Fenech V Azumah Nelson bout in Melbourne when he drew with Steve Hudson. When paramedics arrived at the scene they tried to revive him but he died soon after their arrival. A man has been charged with his murder.

Full Report: Rodriguez Defeats Alvarez for IBF #2 Welter Slot!
By Alex Dombroff and Billy "Loops" Luppert at ringside
Photography by Marty Rosengarten
Delvin Rodriguez (24-2-2, 14 KOs) overcame injury and an early deficit to win a unanimous decision over Shamone Alvarez (20-2, 11 KOs) Friday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville , Connecticut . Rodriguez, fighting in front of his hometown crowd, had all types of problems early on with Alvarez's southpaw attack. It was a combination of the knockdown he scored in the eleventh and his ability to stay on his own two feet in round twelve that sealed the victory for Rodriguez by scores of 115-112, 114-113, and 114-113. Undefeated welterweight Raymond Serrano improved to (9-0, 5 KOs) with an entertaining six round decision over Jay Krupp (12-2, 5 KOs ). Scores of the bout were 60-53 twice and 58-55. ***Click here for the entire action-packed photo gallery***

The Raiders need to have their heads examined. To consider hiring Mike Homgren to run any part of the Oakland Raiders football organization after the job he didn't do in Cleveland is a slap in the face to Al Davis. Holmgren that existed once no longer is available. The work ethic no longer comes as part of the package when a team hires Mike Holmgren. What you get is a very expensive guy that does very little but collect the huge pay checks. Mike Holmgren might show up around 10:30 in the morning and he might get a little work done before he retreats to lunch to feed his already over stuffed face.
Homgren no longer gives a team 100% of his attention and still expects to collect his 8 million dollar a year salary. When Holmgren was with the Browns he hired an old family friend to coach the team. The Browns went 4-12 and then 5-11. Holmgren did nothing but hang the guy he hired out to dry. The Browns couldn't get rid if him fast enough when the new ownership took the team over. The Raiders don't need to hire a guy like Mike Holmgren. They simply can't afford to throw money away on a guy that is going to do very little in return.
There once was a time that the NFL had a great deal of respect for Homgen. That wasn't when he held a front office job. He stunk in Seattle as the teams G.M. and he stunk even worse in Cleveland as the teams president. He has no business in any professional football teams front office and he continues to prove that each time he is hired to do front to office work. The Raiders would be doing a great injustice to the man who wanted to just win baby.
The Oakland Raiders are not going to just win with a guy like Mike Holmgren soaking up the cash . Just say no to Mike Holmgren Oakland. You'll be glad you did.

¿Es fiable el test del aliento para el diagnóstico de infección por Helicobacter pylori en atención primaria?
ABSTRACT Objetivo. Evaluar la fiabilidad del test del aliento con urea 13C en atención primaria para el diagnóstico de infección por Helicobacter pylori (Hp). Diseño. Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y multicéntrico. Emplazamiento. Área urbana perteneciente al Centro de Salud Actur Sur de Zaragoza, con participación del Hospital Miguel Servet. Participantes. Se incluyó a 87 pacientes con diagnóstico clínico de dispepsia funcional. A todos ellos se les realizó un test de aliento con urea 13C, así como una gastroscopia con toma de muestras para histología y test de ureasa rápida. Mediciones principales. Se valoraron edad, sexo y la presencia de positividad o negatividad de infección por Hp en la histología, el test de ureasa y el test del aliento, considerando la histología y el test de ureasa pruebas gold standard para esta medición, por lo que se exigía que el resultado en ambas fuera positivo o negativo para considerarlo no equívoco. Resultados. Se excluyeron 2 casos por resultados equívocos. El 77,6% (66/85) fue positivo por histología y test de ureasa, de los que un 92,4% (61/66) resultó positivo al test del aliento. La sensibilidad de esta prueba fue del 92% y la especificidad del 100%. Conclusiones. El test del aliento en atención primaria tiene un alto valor diagnóstico de infección por Hp, pudiendo evitar así en algunos casos la realización de técnicas más invasivas como la gastroscopia.

ABSTRACT: To determine the prevalence of dyspepsia in the adult population of Great Britain and to describe the clinical features, treatment, effect of dyspepsia on daily lives and perceptions of peptic ulcer disease. Cross-sectional survey of the adult population using structured questionnaires. Subjects interviewed at more than 150 sampling points in England, Scotland and Wales in November 1994. A representative sample of the adult population comprising 2112 subjects, aged 16 years or more. The prevalence of dyspepsia in the adult population and the frequency of various characteristics in dyspeptic subjects. The prevalence of dyspepsia was 40%. Upper abdominal pain and heartburn were the most frequently reported symptoms. Solitary symptoms were uncommon and there was frequent overlap between 'ulcer-like' and 'reflux-like' dyspepsia. Forty-six per cent of dyspeptic subjects reported moderate or severe symptoms. More than half of symptomatic subjects took medication and 22% had visited their GP during the previous year. Overall, 2% of the survey sample had been absent from work due to dyspepsia. Awareness of the factors precipitating or aggravating peptic ulcer disease was poor, particularly in relation to anti-inflammatory drugs. The present study emphasizes the magnitude of the problem of dyspepsia in the adult population of Great Britain. The survey also shows that the public in general, and patients in particular, require more information if they are to avoid factors known to damage the upper alimentary tract.Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics 03/1996; 10(1):83-9.

ABSTRACT: To determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in subjects randomly selected from the Christchurch population and to determine the risk factors and symptoms related to the infection. A list of names was randomly generated from the 1996 electoral roll and subjects were sequentially contacted and invited to participate. A questionnaire on dyspeptic symptoms was completed and the subject's serum was analysed for H. pylori antibodies using the Roche method. Equivocal samples were retested by the Meridian method. One thousand and sixty-four subjects participated in the study. In four subjects results for H. pylori were indeterminate and these subjects were excluded from analysis. Of the remaining 1060 subjects, 254 (24.0%) were seropositive for H. pylori. The seropositivity in males (n=444) was 25.9% and in females (n=616) 22.6%. On multivariate analysis age, ethnicity, low income and smoking > 20 cigarettes per day were all independent predictors of H. pylori seropositivity. H. pylori positive subjects had shorter stature compared to those who were seronegative. The symptom scores for dyspepsia were similar in both the seropositive and seronegative subjects. In males the serum iron levels were lower in seropositive subjects but there were no significant differences in serum ferritin in either males or females between seropositive and seronegative subjects. H. pylori is a common infection in the Christchurch community with the prevalence increasing significantly with age. H. pylori positive subjects had shorter stature and in males lower serum iron levels were observed. Infection was not associated with an increased risk of dyspeptic symptoms.The New Zealand medical journal 09/1999; 112(1093):292-5.

Updated 03/28/2014
Following the shape of Emperor Domitian's Odeon arena, a curving, columned portico identifies this otherwise inconspicuous palace on a traffic-swept bend of Corso Vittorio Emanuele. In the 1530s Renaissance architect Baldassare Peruzzi built this new palace for the Massimo family, after their previous dwelling had been destroyed during the Sack of Rome. (High in the papal aristocracy, they boasted an ancestor who had been responsible for the defeat of Hannibal.) If you're here on March 16, you'll be able to go upstairs to take part (on an individual basis but not in groups) in commemorations of a miracle performed here in 1583 by Philip Neri, who is said to have recalled a young member of the family, one Paolo Massimo, from the dead. The palazzo's name comes from the sole surviving column from Domitian's Odeon, which still stands in the square at the back of the palazzo.
Corso Vittorio Emanuele II 141, Rome, Latium, 00186, Italy

Alligators at the beach?
The Crab Shack on Tybee island has a very eclectic clientele!
The very best views of the water on the island with an incredible outdoor seating area- you must see to understand!
Now they have live alligators in a habitat on the vast waterfront property.
Great drinks and atmosphere. Colorful local characters.
- Beaches
- Family Travel
Another Tourist Attraction
Fort Pulaski is an even better place to visit then Fort Screven..It has a Moat all the way around it with small alligators in it and loggerhead turtles..It also still has some cannon balls still lodged in the outside walls.
- Historical Travel
Fishing - Tybrisa Pier
You can either hang out or fish off this pier. Night fishing makes the most sense as there are less people swimming. There are no holes to set your fishing rod in, so if you don't want to hold it, bring a dog leash to secure it to the pier in case something (usually a small shark) grabs it. Two rods are allowed per person, I believe. Even just sitting and watching other people catch fish is great. Warmer weather is obviously the best time for this, but I've seen people up there in all weather. There are sinks and counters to help you clean up. Bait can be found at any local gas station. Get it early in the day to defrost it properly, or add some sea water in warmer months and hope for the best!
History lesson
Museum and Tybee Island Lighthouse/station...lots of exhibits...neat old houses used by lighthouse keepers, restored and available. Really neat afternoon, especially if you have the strength/breath to climb to the top of the lighthouse! They warn of wasps at the top, so this allergic person didn't even attempt it!

Take a customized Dolphin & Eco Cruise
This outing was offered as a complimentary excursion from our stay at the Savannah Beach Inn. We given an excellent one hour cruise from Tybee Island and over to Little Tybee Island by the boat owner Harvey Farrelle. He explained the eco systems around the islands and the impact of the tide on the islands. We saw a lot of dolphins - up close and personal.
This was fun - families with young children would really enjoy it.

Sweet Lowland Tours Dolphin Eco Tour
Captain Harvey Farrell picked us up for our Dolphin Eco-Tour. He has lived here all his life and is doing tours in his retirement. He explained the reason that Tybee Island has the cleanest water in the area - the tides rise over 8 feet here. He also pointed out the oysters and other living creatures in the habitat around Little Tybee Island. Of course, he got us into Dolphin waters - they must love him because they sure performed for us!
Thanks Harvey - we had a great time!

Fishing - Back River Pier
You can fish in the surf or off the dock of the back river pier (but be careful of any swimmers). This pier is generally pretty vacant when it's not a holiday. Bring a lantern or flashlights (you can get a flourescent lantern at the WalMart on the way into town) because there are no lights - and that includes the bathroom at the base of the pier! It can be tricky to find at night, although there are a few signs. Your best bet is to stop at a gas station or ask a local for directions. It's a great, usually quiet place to chill and fish, especially in the evening. You can get bait at just about any gas station on the island.
Miss Judy's Charters
Miss Judy offers the greatest charter fishing around! Inshore and offshore, for various lengths of time. We had a great time on my honeymoon, and the crew was soooo much fun! We went in September and caught tons of fish - it was a blast. They were very friendly. Check out Miss Judy's fishing reports on her site. They are updated frequently and are right on the money!
Dolphin tours
Typically while swimming in the ocean on Tybee Island we could see dolphins swimming very close to us-it was cool. We took a dolphin cruise which took us out on a small boat with maybe 20 other people and went to spots to find dolphins. It was amazing! We saw lots of dolphins and heard a lot of history about the area.

Lighthouse (Aid to Navigation) on Tybee Island
We were going to drive out to Tybee Island after we visited Fort Pulaski in 2005, but it got too foggy. So this time we took the opportunity and visited. We took photos of the lighthouse and visited the museum buildings like the lighthouse keepers houses. The lighthouse fanatics call Tybee Island Light Station one of America's most intact having all of its historic support buildings on a five-acre site. The lighthouse has been rebuilt several times, but the current lightstation was built in 1916 and has 178 stairs and a First Order Fresnel lens (nine feet tall).

Enjoy the Atlantic Ocean and Beachfront
Gorgeous beaches and a beautiful breeze is just so relaxing. I go for the photo-ops, since I'm naturally pale and stay out of the sun. But there is plenty of beach front to sunbathe on. And ocean to swim, surf and fish. There were windsurfers, also.
All throughout the year there are festivals, which I will come back and update asap!
There is one two block stretch of a downtown with souvenier shops and a few restaurant/bars.
And during regular business hours, the Tybee Island marine Science Center is open. They have turtles and sealife and give lectures.

Just walking around the Island..
Just walking around the Island is a fun thing to do, you never know what kind of scenery you'll see..The area is just loaded with homes that have been there for years and it's so quiet and peaceful. To be out on a summer day with the breeze in your face and the Trees overhead is almost heaven.
Tybee Light House
It marks the mouthof the Savannah river. The light house and keepers' cottage are open to the public.
One can climb to the top through its inner staircase for a good view of the Typee Island.
More later
Tybee Lighthouse
This really is the best thing happening in Tybee. I love lighthouses and this one is a fine example----costs about $6 to go up to the top, but the views of the beach and surrounds are great! There's a little museum at the bottom with some info on the past and such.
178 steps to the top!

Many people consider bullfighting to be a form of severe animal cruelty, though it is considered a sport in some European, North American, and South American countries. Many people also feel that mocking little people for their size is inhumane. Marrying the two ideas results in the ultimate political correctness nightmare, but that's what is going on in some countries.
According to Huffington Post, a group of dwarves and clowns has been performing in Colombia recently, putting on shows at fairs, festivals, and nightclubs. They say actors Franklin Marcano and Gustavo Murillo performed at La Macarena bullring in Medellin, Antioquia department, Colombia, last weekend.
The dwarf bullfighters were the subject of a 2007 USA Today profile. The bullfighters acknowledge they are partly mocked for their size but also respected for their skill.
"When we run around, our movements are just naturally humorous," said Gustavo Vázquez, the manager of a troupe known as the Giants of the Bullring. "But we also put on a quality variety show, and the bullfighting is real. The goal is for the audience to see past the fact that we're little people."
Though they are derided, the bullfighting provides the dwarfs a living and source of income in impoverished countries. Because of their size, they fight calves rather than full-grown bulls (and hopefully avoid gruesome injuries like this and this). The tradition reportedly first began in the 1970s when a Spanish promoter was touring Mexico with a troupe of dwarf bullfighters.
Here are videos of troupes performing in Mexico:

Alaskan transplant Nancy Lord (Survival), a writer and teacher who also fishes commercially for salmon, puts a contemporary spin on indigenous Alaskan folktales in The Man Who Swam with Beavers, and the results are often delightful. Standouts among the 17 stories include "Wolverine Grudge," in which a woman, inspired by an episode of Seinfeld, becomes obsessed with making harassing phone calls to her ex-husband's office. And in the utterly charming title piece, a man leaves behind his job and family to take up residence with a clan of the furry, friendly dam builders. National advertising; author tour.
Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
There's something for every taste in this eclectic collection of short stories inspired by Native Alaskan myths and legends of the author's adopted state. An Alaskan since 1973, Lord (Fishcamp: Life on an Alaskan Shore, LJ 4/15/97) teaches creative writing at the University of Alaska and is a commercial salmon fisher. In many of these 17 pieces, ranging from poignant and fanciful to depressing or bizarre, animals figure as prominently as people. A retired orthopedic surgeon becomes interested in birds, a wolf-dog can't escape his wildness and lives in both worlds, a woman's wedding to a bear is thwarted because the bear fears excessive civilization, a teenage boy explains his two lesbian mothers, and a ninth-grader tries to adjust to her mother's death from cancer. Readers interested in Alaska or in the contemporary use of folk and fairytales will enjoy this collection. Recommended. Ellen R. Cohen, Rockville, MD

Re: limited support
I would *hope* that Apple would check and pull any apps from the Store that use this exploit.

I would *hope* that Apple would check and pull any apps from the Store that use this exploit.
> I have no idea why commercial camera solutions can't record to a NAS and you just log onto your NAS to see the pictures taken.
I think the issue is simply that there are advantages in having off-site storage for security images. Your NAS system is fine until someone walks off with the NAS or burns the house down.
The move is to do with data legislation, or Dropbox attempting a little tax avoidance. Comments?
Hang on? I've got 10.10.3 running on a 2007 iMac with 3Gigs of RAM. I agree about the stupidity of the new 21" iMacs not having accessible RAM slots, but if you've got one of those, it wouldn;t have shipped with less than 8Gigs.

Not exactly sure what you mean by 'babysitting a GUI app'. The Appstore pretty good at resuming interrupted downloads. Sounds like you want to be angry for the sake of it.
... Whereas you could be quite reasonably angry about them not providing patches for Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
> not sure how "startup" became a synonym for "new"
They aren't synonyms - as can be seen from the way that the article applies startup to a 2008 company.
Hence startup is a state of mind. You're the one confusing yourself.
It's been a few months since I wrestled with trying to reset a mail password on Virgin, but it used to be hilariously bad. The system disallowed my choices for being too long, then for having a space in, then for having the wrong kind of punctuation in the wrong places. Amateurs.
Quite often on long journeys, its nice for the wife to be able to channel surf or put some music on or whatever, while I concentrate on the road. This looks to be impossible with this set-up. Yes?
Personally, I think Newsnight did it on purpose to see if they could give the reg staffer some kind of smugness-embolism.
Did Kelly survive? That's what I want to know.
That make me yearn for the dear, departed 'rate this article' widget, so I could hit '1'.
> No. What caused their downfall was being forced to do what Microsoft wanted.
No. Their downfall was already well underway by then.
... Except for all the VNOs like Tesco who do just that.
Alternatively, Capaldi's been the best doctor for while and the writing has been imaginative, with a good mix of scares and laughs and a nice bit of nuanced character writing. In addition the plots have gone back to comparatively simple but entertaining story, compared with the overly baroque 'the doctor save the entire universe again this week, with some time-whimey paradox which is never fully explained'.
Not really. She started as magic-pixie-impossible-girl and ended up as a character with a bit of emotional depth and complexity.
Some fine acting from the The Doctor and Clara, a series in which the Doctor's morality is put under the lens, siome nice character driven episodes, a few properly scary ones. Some laughter, a few damp eyes and the return of the master (and no she's not dead).
Overall a cracking return to form for what is - let's face it - a kids show that adults can enjoy watching too.
> The idea that anyone is editing 4K images at 1:1 and needs the extra space for toolbars etc. is classic Apple iWank. If you're editing those images, you're zoomed in
How do you figure that? Why would I want to zoom in when editing?
All Macs come with really good calibration capabilities courtesy of Colorsync Utility. You can get an idea of what it does by watching as someone pootles through its menus here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah_EpObQ1PE
> I'm not "Proud to be hetro" it's just what is.
Yes, but that's because you're not part of a minority who until recently were classified as criminal and who (for example) have to think twice before holding hands in the streets.
You don't have to think long and hard about the effect announcing your sexuality would have on family, friends, stockholders and customers.
... and they're already pretty nervous about what it means for all the game channels on Youtube.
See also Virgin Media, where their passwords have to be something like more than 6 and less than 10 and don't allow spaces etc. Sigh.
Its almost as if it's a really early preview and some boiler plate text and code has been left in there. Astonishing.
Hmmm, I can see how it would be useful to (for example) capture strings that were typed into the help box, or into command lines.
Why, what's Apple done 'of late'?
I was pondering the fact that England might be able to stick with BST all year around, perhaps with double summertime?
....should be generating plenty of false positives.
... From what I can tell.
I have my own domain, but mails are forwarded to my old NTLWorld mailboxes. I haven't seen any disruption today at all, I don't think.
Why? Because they have them with them, that's why - and don't feel the need to carry another piece of equipment.
I seem to remember that it started out as an e-mail newsletter didn't it - pre-Web. Or am I wrong?
Oops - quite so, thanks.
My guess is that this is a symptom of the Internet reaching 512 BGP routes today. I'm not a router expert, but as I understand it 512 is the default max size on some older routers. Shaw isn't the only one having some problems today.
Try Virginmedia's borked e-mail set-up - e-mail passwords, must be between 8 and 10 characters long, must start with a letter, cannot contain spaces. And apparently some word combinations are forbidden. Trying to generate something secure is horrendous.
> Virgin leads a fine example of why this is not always the answer.
As does ITV Player.
... Which is why I stuck with CIX. Happy days.
I suppose the first question that I should ask is - what are the symptoms and what makes you think it's malware? I've seen a few occasions when people have suspected malware and it turned out to be something else - so what is the machine doing?
The most recent version also changes the license terms.
> 1. You have to pay for the content. There is a ton of free content on the Internet, I have never seen any need to go to pay per view sites.
Therefore you don't have to pay for content - no-one is forcing you to watch DRM'd content
> 2. You can only watch it on one computer. But I downloaded it on this computer and now I want to watch it on another one - not happening. Get your credit card out and pay for it again.
That depends entirely on the content owner and the way the content is licensed. You may be able to run it on multiple computers, but not simultaneously, or any number of computers on the same subnet, or.... the permutations are many. It's up to you to decide whether you like it or not. I don't like the DRM on iTunes movies, so never purchase from there. I'm fine with the DRM on Steam.
> 3. I downloaded this before my computer crashed. I rebuilt it, but now I can't play it. That's because the secret key is gone. Easily fixed, pay for it again.
Again, you're making assumptions about the way that DRM is implemented.
> 4. I saved it when I watched it last week and now it won't play. That's because it is time-bombed. Pay for it again.
Again, you're making assumptions about the way that DRM is implemented. This one is likely, but seriously - you have the choice not to buy it.
Actually, I think you've hit upon the most plausible reason, there.
Much as a nice bit of America-bashing is fun? Don't the questions look a bit off to anyone else?
Am I sure that the universe began with a big bang well yes - or was it inflation?
Am I confident that it started 13.8bn years ago? Of course not. I know it's meant to be about 13, but if I was asked on the street whether it was 13.8 I would certainly say I was "Not at all confident".
How many of you would actually say you were confident, without looking it up?
... the reason Apple products sell is because anyone who buys them are idiots. That must be the reason, obviously.
My new favourite phrase. Well done.
When we had our first sprog, she had a number of illnesses and I have to say that NHS was remarkably helpful at 3am giving good pragmatic advice about whether to take her into A&E or wait until morning.
Sad to see it go.
East London - nothing as far as I know.
The issue, as far as I was concerned was that I have 6 days to get an alternative installed on my 90 year old father's Mac. The notice was rather short.
For me, the knowledge-graph snippets marked the point where Google became evil-ish, from a Website owner's point of view.
The social compact between Google and a site had always been simple. "If I set my robots file to let you in, Googe - you can index my content and link to it from your search results. You get to put ads on your Google home page, I get extra traffic to put ads and cross-promote other services on my site".
With the new system, however that compact is broken. The Web site no longer (necessarily) gets extra traffic. Instead Google is effectively screen-scraping content into its own database and presenting the information to its users directly.
While it may be convenient for Google's users, it's not healthy for the Web as a whole. The solution? Robots.txt needs to be extended so that in addition to the allow/don't allow directives Web site owners can state whether they are happy for information on the site to be excerpted.
Some of us have Macs. (ducks)
To be honest, while I enjoy gaming in the office, if I could play TF2 or Left for Dead 2 or whatever on the big screen downstairs, I'd be tempted. Particularly as (for Valve titles at least) I wouldn't need to rebuy the software
Sounds like you need to tune into Radio 4Extra, you can get all the broadcasts of The Navy Lark, Round The Horn and The Men From The Ministry you desire.,
Hang on, that says that *your* wishes are pre-eminent, not your next of kin. What's wrong with that?
Since the last G3 iMacs were phased out over 10 years ago, that shows some remarkable longevity.
The Roberts DAB I have runs very happily for about 4 days of intensive listening on rechargable AAs, Personally I got DAB because I value the wider variety of stations - 6 Music and 4 Extra in particular. I also nipped down to Halfords and got one for the car.
I left my wife's machine on 10.6.8 but I have to say this is the first upgrade since then that has made me tempted to upgrade it. 10.9 is a really nice OS and there really isn't much convergent UI going on.
