World Cup games pulled from Whitehaven
Last updated at 12:05, Wednesday, 25 April 2012
Organisers have pulled the Rugby League World Cup 2013 games from Whitehaven amid uncertainties about whether the town's new stadium will be built in time.
An announcement was made in March that the facility would host Scotland in games against Italy and Tonga.
An agreement between Whitehaven Miners Social Welfare – who own the access road to the proposed stadium – and partners in the venture was thought to have been reached last month, putting an end to fears that the project may be in jeopardy.
But no formal agreement had been signed and talks since have not proved fruitful.
Whitehaven rugby league, Whitehaven Amateurs Football Club and Copeland council are partners in the stadium project.
They said today: "Following a meeting last night, we have agreed unanimously that it is no longer affordable, nor feasible, to continue negotiations with the Whitehaven Miners' Welfare organisation and will instead look to develop the stadium project in a new direction.
"The partners will continue to work together to move the stadium project forward, but will no longer be exploring the option of access over the Whitehaven Miners' land. Positive discussions about other options for the development have already taken place and the partners are pleased to now be moving forward.
"Partners recognise that their new approach will lead to a delay in the project being completed but believe that it will ultimately help secure the sustainability of the project. As a result of this decision, the opportunity to bring the 2013 Rugby League World Cup to Whitehaven is lost and the RFL has been advised of this.
"The partners are pleased that Britain's Energy Coast continues to support the stadium development and look forward to working more closely with them, our nuclear partners and the RFL to make the stadium a reality."
Brian Wilson, chairman of Britain's Energy Coast, said: "Britain's Energy Coast, as major prospective funder of the Pow Beck project, notes the decision taken by the rugby partners not to proceed at present in view of their continuing difficulty in resolving issues of access with the Miners' Welfare.
"Our support for this project has been unswerving and we share in the disappointment about the immediate implications of this decision.
"However, the funding remains in place whenever a revised project emerges. In the meantime, we will give as much practical support as possible in order to advance that objective".
It had been hoped to have the stadium open for the start of the next RL season.
But it was likely to take about nine months to build, which left very little room for manoeuvre if it was to be up in time for Haven's next campaign, launching around February 2013.

Have your say
Elise what are you talking about rugby non existant ? we have some of the best rugby league amature clubs going last season had the 9s comp with them doing very well its the council that has let this world cup bid pass us by just like asda.but a better club is needed if Haven need to progress, and its things like a whitehaven bypass that will not help any growth in the town but pass us by. i dont know why the council were trusted to plan a stadium when theyv made a complete pigs ear of the town
Rugby like most things in Whitehaven is non existant; other cities and towns have an ability to look beyond the present and not the past. A all round facility such as the one in Hexham would have made all the difference; something for all. Once again Cumbria really is on the back foot; and when the lights are turned off remember to close the door as well.

Lithuania, which has held the Presidency of the Council since 1 July 2013 for the first time, will be dealing with more than 300 legislative proposals, half of these relating to the recent political agreement on the Multi-annual Financial Framework for 2014-2020.
This presidency will be the last full-term tenure of the current legislative cycle before the European Parliament elections in May 2014. ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) therefore believes that Vilnius could play a very important role if it manages to finalise the outstanding - as well as forthcoming - challenges in the next 6 months.
Ewan Willars, ACCA director of policy says: 'In the difficult current economic climate, Lithuania – where ACCA has some 524 students, 12 affiliates and 101 members - has the opportunity to make a real difference. This can be done by taking the right steps to ensure that EU legislation - and other structures that come out of it - are robust and will benefit, rather than harm businesses, especially small businesses, which are so crucial for Europe's economic recovery. We namely believe particular attention should be brought to the implementation of the enterprise competitiveness and SME (COSME) programme.
'ACCA fully supports the strapline of the Lithuanian Presidency, which is 'a Credible, Growing and Open European Union'. The presidency has a demanding policy programme in the next 6 months ahead. They will have to work towards their overarching objectives, including the promotion of economic growth and competitiveness, reducing unemployment and boosting job creation, ensuring financial stability and energy security, and further strengthening of coordination of EU economic and monetary policies.'
The global accountancy body hopes that a close and fruitful collaboration with the Parliament will be possible to progress these objectives. ACCA calls on the co-legislators to find appropriate compromises on existing files linked to the completion of the Single Market, such as the audit reform, the non-financial reporting proposals, and anti-money laundering, issues which are particularly close to the heart of its members.

Registration and Opening Week Schedule
Buying Books and Supplies
All freshman students are required to live on campus. This helps to create a sense of community among those attending the college and helps new students to adjust better to college life. Exceptions are rarely granted, but married or older students seeking a waiver to this rule should send a letter of request to the Director of Student Services. Permission to live off campus must be obtained in writing from the Director. About 82% of undergraduate students at the college live on campus.
All dorms are air-conditioned and non-smoking. Dorms are co-ed, usually by floor.
There are eight dormitories: Humphreys Hall (1837), Chase-Stone House (1857), Paca Carroll House (1857), Pinkney Hall (1858), Randall Hall (1903), Campbell Hall (1954), Gilliam Hall (2004), and Spector Hall (2006). Historic buildings have lots of charm but they require regular maintenance. The college is constantly upgrading the dormitories and you may find a mix of old and new facilities in each.
Freshmen always have at least one roommate. Once roommate assignments have been made (usually in early August) the Director of Student Services will provide the names and contact information of roommates who give permission for us to release this. You will be given your dormitory and room assignment on registration day. Dorm rooms are open for occupancy after registration.
Heavy luggage or packages may be sent to the college two weeks before registration day. Ship such packages to the following address: Your Name, St. John's College, 60 College Ave., Annapolis, MD 21401-1687. Label the packages "Hold for Registration." There is no limit on the number of boxes that may be shipped. Large boxes will be held and distributed from a storage room on campus. Signs will be posted at the registration table designating pickup places, dates and times. Small boxes will be held and stored in the college mailroom and a package slip will be put in student mailboxes with pickup information.
Furniture for each student includes:
The windows have Venetian blinds. (If you'd like curtains, it's best to wait until you see your room, since windows are not standard sizes.)
Dorm rooms have basic furniture. You may wish to bring:
Many students like to have a small microwave or refrigerator in their room. Small appliances are allowed but not encouraged because the buildings are not wired to support the power demands of multiple appliances. Open heating elements such as hot plates, water boilers, and hot-pots are not allowed. Other items not allowed are: candles, incense, weapons and self-defense devices such as stun guns. Smoking is prohibited by state law inside all campus buildings, including the dormitories.
Kitchens are located in the basement of Campbell Hall and on the first floors of Humphreys Hall, Gilliam Hall and Spector Hall. There are washers and dryers in the basements of Campbell Hall and Chase-Stone Hall, and on the first floors of Gilliam Hall and Spector Hall.
If you are able to contact your roommate(s) before you arrive, it is wise to consult about large items such as furniture and rugs to avoid duplication and overcrowding. In general, less is more. Wait and see what you need. You will have the opportunity to purchase needed items once you are here. The college runs shuttles to all the major shopping areas in and around Annapolis.
Mailing address for students:
Your Name
St. John's College
60 College Ave.
Annapolis, MD 21401
Students are encouraged to have cell phones. The dorm rooms do not come with telephones or telephone service. Students can arrange for phone installation on an individual basis with the local provider. They will be billed by Verizon, the local phone company. The college does not handle individual telephone accounts for students. There is a college phone on every dorm floor; these phones receive calls from off-campus but may be used to make calls only to other extensions on campus. Some students find that cell phones are a way around having to pay for phone installation and a monthly fee for an outside line.
To call a student: The main college number is 410-263-2371. Callers to that number can be connected to any dorm floor. Someone from the floor usually answers a ringing phone; if the person being called is not available, floormates will leave a message. In an emergency, the Assistant Dean's office or the Public Safety office will locate a student.
The St. John's College 1Card is the official identification card of the College. The 1Card is required for students to access essential campus services and facilities, including meal plan, library privileges, printing services and building access. Freshmen will receive their 1Card upon registration and should carry the card at all times while on-campus.
The St. John's College 1Card also features a prepaid spending account – Campus Cash – that provides a convenient, secure way to make cashless purchases on campus while enrolled at the College. The St. John's College 1Card allows students to make purchases at our campus bookstore, dining locations, print shop, and laundry facilities.
In July, all freshmen will receive a letter from the College with additional information about the 1Card. The secure link to add Campus Cash to the card is www.stjohnscollege1card.com.
Information Technology Services (ITS) maintains the student computer lab and student machines in the library as well as wired and wireless internet across campus. If you have questions or inquiries about our services and support we invite you to contact the ITS Help Desk at 410-626-2892 or . Please mention that you are an incoming freshman.
Internet Access
Wired connections are available in all dorm rooms, and all of the campus is covered by the school's wireless network. If needed, a network cable can be purchased at the campus bookstore.
Network Account
ITS will provide you with a network account, a username and password that you will use to access campus computers, the campus network, a college provided personal email account and disk space. This information and a document describing appropriate use of College resources will be provided during registration. Acceptance of an account signifies that you have read and agree to comply with these guidelines. Students are not permitted to set up wireless access points themselves.
The Student Computer Lab
The Lab (Hodson Computer Center) is located on the lowest level of the Barr-Buchanan Center and is equipped with Windows and Macintosh computers, laser printers, and scanners. The primary purpose of the facility is to provide you with access to Office applications, email, the Internet, any other applications you need for your academic work. With your College issued 1Card badge, the center is accessible twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week during the academic year. ITS Student Assistants are available in the center at designated times to provide you with assistance in the use of campus computer resources.
Note: Printing is handled on a pay-to-print basis and cost $0.05 per page or $0.07 per duplex (double-sided) page and operates via 1Card for increased student convenience.
Computer Configuration Standards
ITS supports Windows and Macintosh machines. Use these system specifications as a general guideline for what you will need as a student if you wish to use your own computer. The only required functions are basic web browsing and word processing.
Minimum Hardware/Software Recommendations:
Processor: Desktop/Laptop: Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD 64X2 Dual Processor
Memory: 2 GB (4 GB is highly recommended)
Hard Drive Capacity: 100 GB or more

Office Suite: Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 / Office MAC 2008 or 2011
Free alternatives are Open Office and Libre Office
Web Browser: Internet Explorer/Safari/Mozilla Firefox/Google Chrome
Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware: Required
Visit the Office of Information Technology for more information.
Each student is provided with an e-mail account and personal folder on the student servers. Your college e-mail account is the official form of communication to students and should be checked frequently. Account information will be provided during Freshmen registration. You will be able to use Outlook Web Access to access your mail from any Internet-accessible computer anywhere in the world. You may forward your college e-mail to any personal account you desire. Instructions, rules and guidelines will be provided to you during the registration process.
Although students may have cars, freshmen and sophomores may not park on campus, in any campus lot. The city of Annapolis does not grant parking permits to St. John's students who live on campus. Parking is limited; the college strongly urges students not to bring cars. The city will ticket and tow cars parked illegally, including cars without permits parked in permit-only zones near campus. Some students park in the Naval Academy stadium, which is within walking distance of the campus. See Pinnacle Parking online for details.
Bicycles are a good method of transportation around Annapolis. You should be sure to have a secure lock and register your bicycle in the Public Safety Office once you arrive. There are several storage racks for bikes on campus.
Downtown Annapolis is within walking distance of campus, and there are many shopping areas close by. The College provides weekly shuttles to local malls and shopping centers. Both Baltimore and Washington, DC, are accessible by bus.
Note that BWI airport is the most convenient airport to campus. Transportation to and from Reagan and Dulles airports is difficult to arrange, expensive and time consuming.
All freshmen students living on campus are required to be on the 21 meal plan. Meals are served in the Dining Hall (Randall) seven days a week. A variety of foods is offered at every meal, including vegetarian and vegan options. Sometimes the lines are long, but the Dining Hall is open long enough at every meal to accommodate all students on the meal plan.
The Coffee Shop is located in the basement of McDowell Hall. Snacks and meals can be purchased there all day and during some evening hours during the week. There are also a variety of snack and drink machines on campus.
The services of the Health Center are available to all students regardless of whether they carry their own health insurance or use the one available through the college. (Students must be covered by health insurance; for information on the policy available through the college, contact the Health Center at 410-626-2553.)
Three counselors are also on staff. Appointments can be made directly by students. The counselor makes appointments with the psychiatrist as necessary.
The Campus Bookstore stocks all books required for St. John's classes. Several translations and/or editions are available of most texts on the reading list, and the Bookstore keeps a complete list of all recommended editions, and a compilation of book advice/opinions/comparisons by St. John's tutors. In addition, several of the staff are either St. John's graduates or current students and will happily offer you their personal views.
You will probably need to spend about $150 on books and supplies when you first arrive. Total books and supplies for the year will run from about $350 to $475 depending upon the editions you purchase and whether you buy all new items. You are welcome to use books you already have, although you should be aware that marginal or line numbers are useful, and it is best to avoid abridged versions. Additionally, our library owns multiple copies of all program books, and you may also be able to locate good used copies.
Should you buy all your texts at the start of the year? No! Buying your books involves making choices you aren't yet equipped to make. Your tutors may have preferences, and you're going to hear lots of opinions from upperclass students. You will also develop your own tastes. The basic things you need to start with are: the Greek manual, Euclid's Elements, the freshman Lab Manual, the freshman chorus anthology, and a copy of Homer's Iliad.
The Bookstore accepts the SJC 1Card, personal checks and VISA, MasterCard, or American Express credit cards. Naturally, cash is also welcome.
What the Bookstore stocks: program books, lots of fiction, poetry, reference, history, sciences, philosophy, books to help you learn Greek or math, biographies of philosophers, books on writing, drama, art books, music (scores and libretti) and much more.
If you want any book the Bookstore does not have, you may order it at no extra charge. The Bookstore offers sweatshirts, T-shirts, baseball caps, and other SJC paraphernalia. School supplies like pads, pens, binders, and pencils, and even laundry detergent and some basic toiletries are also stocked and the store offers a fax service.
→ See the Bookstore web page for contact information and hours.
There are no banks on campus, but students can cash small checks at the Bookstore. Half a dozen banks are located within three or four blocks of the campus and several banks offer free checking accounts to St. John's students. Money management is often an issue for college freshmen, so be sure to think about how deposits will be made, whether a debit card might work for you, whether you should have your own credit card, and how much spending money you might need per week. Students who work at the college in the federal work-study program will have checks issued to them every other week — wages cannot be applied to a student account.

On "Catholic apologist" (???) Robert Sungenis' website, The Bellarmine Report, a page was put up on 1-16-12 under the category, "Latest News," entitled, "DVD of the Month: Stanley Kubrick Hired to Fake Apollo Moon Landings." I first saw this in a rotation ad at the top of his main website, when I visited shortly after midnight, eastern time, on 1-23-11. It's necessary to go into such detail because Bob has been known to remove controversial materials from his site, once someone critiques them. If he does, readers may trust that I saw this with my own eyes. I certainly didn't make up all this detail.
The film in question is called Kubrick's Odyssey (by Jay Weidner). The lyric of the music heard in this ridiculous piece must be heard to be believed. I won't even attempt to describe how weird it is.
The film is offered at a bizarre site mentioned in the preview video, called Sacred Mysteries Marketplace, which offers all sorts of spiritually exotic materials that appear to be anything from theosophy to New Age to "alchemy." The page for the DVD here examined states:
In Kubrick's Odyssey, Part I, Kubrick and Apollo, author and filmmaker, Jay Weidner presents compelling evidence of how Stanley Kubrick directed the Apollo moon landings. He reveals that the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey was not only a retelling of Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick's novel, but also a research and development project that assisted Kubrick in the creation of the Apollo moon footage. In light of this revelation, Weidner also explores Kubrick's film, The Shining and shows that this film is, in actuality, the story of Kubrick's personal travails as he secretly worked on the Apollo footage for NASA. . . .
"Weidner produces devastating proof that the landing was shot in a studio on Earth."
--David Icke
Even more bizarre is a linked review of the DVD by Andrew W. Griffin, from the Red Dirt Report website. Here are some profound, irrefutable tidbits from it:
And there are lots of secrets within Kubrick's films, as we soon discover. Kubrick, suggests Weidner, is not only a great filmmaker, he was "privy to the main secrets of an occult society that rules the Earth."One of the biggest and most shocking is that Weidner speculates, through clues he found primarily in The Shining, that Kubrick faked the Apollo Moon landings, using his work on 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey as cover. Weidner, however, does believe the U.S. did get to the Moon, just not in the fashion we were told. . . .
Because the U.S. Government, through NASA, was hellbent to get a man on the Moon before the end of the 1960's, as President Kennedy had promised, and because they wanted to prove to the Soviet Union that the U.S. was going to win the space race, they had to have some insurance – a way to prove, at least to the public and the world – that the U.S. had the technology and wherewithal to get to the Moon.That's where Kubrick comes in. Impressed with his work on Dr. Strangelove, Weidner speculates that Kubrick made a deal with the U.S. Government to fake the Apollo Moon landings – with Apollo 11 ultimately being the first one to land in July 1969.Weidner leans towards the idea that the U.S. did go to the Moon but that the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972 shown to the public were all staged and Kubrick was the guy directing the whole thing. . . .. . . things get even stranger further in Weidner's film when he uses Stephen King's novel, The Shining, as the basis for a film with the same name. Of course this interpretation would bother purists and confuse others. But Weidner explains that Kubrick needed a way to get it out there that he was the one behind the Apollo Moon landing hoax and that The Shining would be the way he could accomplish this.
Alright. Sure! I guess Bob was getting anxious to find some new exciting conspiratorial hogwash to foist upon his readership, and this fit the bill rather spectacularly! Of course, we must visit Jay Weidner's web page: cited in the review. This is the wise sage whom Sungenis chose to promote by making his DVD the featured one of the month on his site. What can we find out about him on his page? We learn very quickly that he is a Gnostic heretic of the first order. Here is just one example of his thinking: an article from an interview of Weidner, called "Rise of the Archons." It makes for rather surreal and exotic reading:
People don't realise that, 2,000 years ago, there was a religion on this planet called Gnosticism, which was the biggest religion on earth at the time, was vying with Hinduism. You could go take a university course on the history of religions now and wouldn't even find a mention of Gnosticism. The Nag Hammadi texts provide a description for what the Gnostics believed. Gnostic is a Greek word meaning knowledge – gnosis. The Gnostics believe that liberation can only be achieved by knowledge, by the consumption and evaluation of reality through knowledge. The library at Alexandria was run by Gnostics and they were the first people to collect scrolls and books and assemble this information. . . . Gnostics preached that there was an invasion that occurred about 3,600 BC and, about 1,600 years before the Nag Hammadi texts were buried, they wrote that this invasion was like a virus and, in fact, they were hard pressed to describe it. The beings that were invading were called Archons. These Archons had the ability to duplicate reality, to fool us. They were jealous of us because we have an essence of some kind, a soul, that they don't possess, and the Nag Hammadi texts describe the Archons. One looks like a reptile and the other looks like an unformed baby or a foetus. It is partially living and partially non-living and has grey skin and dark, unmoving eyes. The Archons are duplicating reality so that when we buy into it, when we come to believe that the duplicated, false state reality is the real reality - then they become the victors. . . .
I believe many of the stories of Jesus are actually Gnostic myths about a possible rebellion against the Archons who came down very severely on the rebel.. . .I really hate to say this but we have all been fooled. The whole idea that some kind of messiah is going to come to save us is an Archon trick to make you think you don't have to do anything about your present situation, no accountability. Maybe some supernatural force will come but I think you have to look at how this oppression occurred and why it was written out of history. When you begin to look back, you realize the early Christian, from the time of Jesus to the time of Constantine in 310 AD, they were preaching that they did not worship Jehovah; they worshiped the one true God. It could be argued that the early Christians were actually Gnostic followers of Jesus instead of what we, today, call Christians. The entire New Testament was completely rewritten by Constantine and all of the information on the Archons was removed and the ideas of Jehovah being a cruel god were lessened. This is a fact. The Nag Hammadi texts are older than the New Testament by 400 years. The New Testament that we have today wasn't concocted until about 350 AD. When you go back to the Nag Hammadi, it doesn't have the sin factor; they say what they really think. . . .
Rense [interviewer]: Many people look into the media – not the mainstream media – for information. So who are these Archons now? These are Talmudic Zionists, to a large degree. They are part of it, perhaps they are the central core of it. We need to start looking at the name values are and where their DNA says they came from, the Czarian Empire. They adopted Judaism and used it like a stick to beat people and hide behind at the same time which is a great tragedy for true, honest and Jews of good heart and there are millions of them. [my bolded emphasis] . . .Weidner again: Anyone who is following this mad, insane god, Jehovah, will be lead to their death for certain.. . . The defining myth of Western mythology is that Jehovah told Adam and Eve that they could not eat of the Tree of Knowledge. Not only that but if they did eat of it, they would surely die. Yet they both ate of it and didn't die so he wasn't even telling them the truth.
There you have it, folks. Robert Sungenis wants to host and promote a video made by an anti-Semitic Gnostic wingnut like this? I trust that further documentation of this sort of pathetic, ludicrous, anti-Christian, conspiratorial nonsense is unnecessary. I have provided the links, if anyone else wants to discover further wonders of revelation . . .
None of this is particularly new for Bob (aside from, perhaps, the incredible recourse to an anti-Christian Gnostic as a source). I knew that he was an "agnostic" (his description) about the moon landings over a year ago, and that he believed "9-11 was an inside job and that the Muslims had nothing to do with it". Here is a portion of one of my papers about Bob's odd beliefs (his words in blue):
Bob is disturbed that I am inclined to accept what NASA tells me about science. This makes perfect sense, I reckon, since in one exchange the following skepticism regarding the authenticity of the moon landings is documented:
Jordanes had stated earlier in the combox thread that he didn't think you asserted that the moon landings were faked. Someone ("Pete") produced "documentation" that you did believe this. I find this to be insufficiently documented, as it was based on "gossipy"-type hearsay from a former associate, and from a post on a hostile website. So if you think the lunar landings actually happened, I'd be happy to hear you clarify that, so that it can be stated as a matter of record on my blog that this is an unjust charge against you.He expanded his "lunar skepticism" to 9-11 as well in his piece, "Response to Jared Olar":
I do not know whether they were real or fake.
As for my right to be an agnostic about the moon landings, I'm certainly not the first and won't be the last. Any intelligent person who has studied the issue is going to have doubts as to whether the United States had the capability to put a man on the moon in 1969 when, for example, the processing power of a 1969 computer was less than one-tenth of that in a typical cell phone of today, especially when the U.S. was at the height of the Cold War and was still stinging from the Russian launch of Sputnik in 1957, and especially when the ability to fake a moon landing in a hidden studio was well within the talents of Hollywood technicians. My suspicions are only heightened when I see Neil Armstrong holding an American flag on the moon and suddenly a gust of wind forces the lower part of the flag to move up to the upper part of the flag. Any fool knows there is no wind on the moon. You can see this video on the Internet and in the documentaries made of the moon landings. [see one lengthy critique of this theory] Yes, and I might as well tell you so I can beat Mr. Olar to the punch: I also believe 9-11 was an inside job and that the Muslims had nothing to do with it, and I maintain this belief along with several thousand other intelligent scientists, engineers, military personnel, airline pilots, firemen and the like who, from their expertise in this area, are thoroughly convinced that we have been sold a bill of goods by our government.
I'm obviously part of this nefarious conspiracy, myself, being named Armstrong . . .
In the same paper I documented from his site, Bob's belief in "an earth of approximately 10,000 to 15,000 years old" and that "the universe rotates around the earth once per day." He denies that the earth itself rotates.

Landover, Md. -- No wavering, not this time, not this place. The Lions had driven too far to put the outcome in the hands of cruel fate. Instead, they put the ball in the hands of their leader, who kept putting the ball where it needed to go.
This was Matthew Stafford�s game, no matter how desperately the Redskins wanted to make it Robert Griffin III�s game. This was exactly what the Lions had to do, for credibility�s sake. They came to a city where they were 0-for-forever and beat a wounded team the way they should.
The Lions� 27-20 victory over the Redskins Sunday was a vivid reminder of a formula that should be stamped to the locker room wall: If the other team lets Stafford and Calvin Johnson do their thing, then do it.
The Lions (2-1) didn�t let up, even after starting with a letdown, a Stafford interception returned 17 yards by DeAngelo Hall for an early touchdown. That could sap the resolve of any quarterback but the Lions can�t forget who they are, or at least who they aspire to be. And give Jim Schwartz credit here, too. After an ugly loss at Arizona and losing Reggie Bush for this game with a knee injury, the Lions didn�t seek any kind of safety shell.
They were aggressive, but mostly smart aggressive, a necessary step in Stafford�s evolution. His clinching 11-yard touchdown pass to Johnson with 3:56 left came two plays after a successful fourth-and-inches quarterback sneak. Schwartz went for it without hesitation, and Stafford wedged nicely to the left of center Dominic Raiola and got an extra push from running back Joique Bell. It was the perfect time to gamble, trying to turn a three-point lead into a 10-point lead instead of settling for a field goal.
On the touchdown, the Redskins blanketed Johnson but he stuck his arms through three defenders and snatched the pass that broke an infamous streak.
�Frankly, (the Redskins) had a great call on, we just did a good job of making a play,� said Stafford, 25-for-42 for 385 yards. �Calvin did a great job of winning. I�m just glad he didn�t go down at the 1 and got in.�
Stafford was whipping the ball everywhere all game. Oddly, maybe the Lions had to come to the franchise�s historic den of doom to discover something. Without Bush in the second half last week, the offense collapsed and the debate rose: Could Stafford and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan turn this attack into something more than Johnson and hope?
The answer came against a horrid Washington defense that blitzed constantly and left receivers single-covered. That�s why it was so important for Stafford to stamp control and spread the action. Johnson caught seven passes for 115 yards, while Nate Burleson was excellent again with six receptions for 116 yards. Six other players caught passes, including a 5-yard TD by rookie tight end Joseph Fauria. And don�t overlook the continued emergence of Bell, who also caught four passes for 69 yards.
�It was great to see the ball flying around, seeing all my other receivers getting a piece of the action,� Johnson said. �It�s big for our camaraderie, brings us together, gives us confidence that we can go on the road and win like we did two years ago.�
Two years ago, the Lions won tight games on the road and made the playoffs. I don�t know if that mentality is back, but it�s not as far away as it seemed a week ago.
�(Stafford) was outstanding,� Schwartz said. �It�s tough to win on the road, with a weapon like Reggie not available, but Scott Linehan and Matt Stafford didn�t miss a beat. I�m as proud as I can be of our team. But we didn�t carry a banner here that said, remember we�ve never won in Washington. We don�t dwell on the past.�
That�s good, because in the NFL you�re actually not constrained by your past. The Lions were 0-21 in Washington but this was a winnable game and they knew it. In fact, Johnson helped them in two major ways. First, of course, was with his standard brilliance, including an incredible 18-yard sideline grab that was a combination of strong hands and ballet tippy-toes.
Different process
The other way was with the unofficial Calvin Johnson rule, no longer just applied to Calvin Johnson. Aldrick Robinson appeared to score on a 57-yard pass that would�ve given the Redskins a 24-20 lead, but replays showed he didn�t complete the process and the ball wobbled as he hit the ground. The touchdown was overturned and the Lions� fortunes turned with them.
It helped that the defensive line hammered Griffin, led by Ndamukong Suh, Willie Young and rookie Ziggy Ansah, who collected two sacks. It also helped that the Redskins committed the key mistakes, including Griffin�s fumble at the Lions 25 in the fourth quarter.
The Lions turned the ball over only once and Stafford was sacked only once. That�s especially impressive because the Redskins� defense gambles and doesn�t double- and triple-team Johnson nearly as much as other teams do. And when it was time to make a play, Schwartz and Linehan had confidence in Stafford, who had confidence in pretty much all his receivers.
�He�s not a kid anymore,� Burleson said of Stafford. �That�s what leaders do, what one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL does. I love it. That�s big-time.�
Big-time plays in an all-time, tough-time environment. The Lions have done some predictable things over the years but this was a nice unpredictable twist, an important step for Stafford. He and the Lions took this game, and as one trend ends, maybe a different one can start.

More than 7,200 students passed their final exams - a slight increase on the previous record numbers in June 2012 – which will enable them to take the next step to ACCA membership. In all, over 198,000 candidates took almost 367,000 papers around the world, with more than 60,000 students sitting computer based exams.
Pass rates were in line with expectations, but ACCA will be looking at what it can do to further assist students and learning providers to enable more students to succeed in papers where success rates are lower.
Alan Hatfield, ACCA director - learning, said: 'All students who have passed their exams deserve a great deal of praise, particularly the 7,200 who have completed their final exams and are able to demonstrate that they have a comprehensive range of skills and a full understanding of the finance chain – in short, that they are complete finance professionals – something which employers have stressed they need in a difficult economic environment. It is good to note that many of the students who have passed their final papers have also completed their practical experience requirements whilst studying for the exams and we look forward to welcoming them to ACCA membership soon. I hope all students are able to successfully complete their practical experience requirements and to go on to become members of ACCA.'
'While most results are in line with historical averages, we will be looking closely at pass rates to look at what action we need to take, in partnership with learning providers, to see what improvements can be made. For example, it has been encouraging to see that results for Paper F7, Financial Reporting have continued to improve, following an investment in extra help for students and tutors,' said Alan Hatfield.

First down
The Lions are back to where they were in 2010, fighting to wrestle some dignity out of a disappointing season.
"You look across the board at teams that have success and they play as a team," middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch said. "Right now we're not really doing that. We have to find a way to get back on track like how we were last year.
"Everyone believed in what we had going on. We'll do that. I know coaches and the general manager upstairs will find a way to address that and find a way to get back on track."
This was the sixth straight loss for this team and the first that was this lopsided. The anger and frustration were more obvious after this one. The Lions public relations staff cleared out several reporters from the interview room, which was located next to the locker room.
Clearly, they didn't want anyone hearing the shouting from within.
"It's tough," linebacker Justin Durant said. "I don't know. We just have to figure out what's going on. I thought we had a good game plan. We came out ready and guys were energized. I thought we were going to come out and have a good one, and we just didn't play well."
Second down
When you get beat as badly as the Lions got beat Sunday, you don't make excuses. And, to their credit, the players and coaches wouldn't make any or take any.
Here's the pure reality of the situation: Matthew Stafford played a bad game. The offensive line played maybe its worst game of the season. And against a good defense — make no mistake, the Cardinals' defense is solid — that's a losing combination.
But this is the first game where all the injuries and upheaval at the receiver position caught up to them. They have been without Nate Burleson and Titus Young for a while, but they went into this game without tight end Brandon Pettigrew, as well.
When the Cardinals chose to double-team Calvin Johnson all over the field, there was nobody left to make them pay. Johnson had 10 of the 24 receptions, and 17 of the 47 targets.
Tony Scheffler had three catches. The rest — Will Heller, Stefan Logan, Kris Durham, Brian Robiskie, Mike Thomas — six catches.
"They took the approach to get Calvin out of the game," coach Jim Schwartz said. "That left four other players one-on-one. ... It's on us to make them pay. We have to protect the passer and somebody has to get open. It's an ideal situation.
"But we could not get that done."
Third down
What happened on the muffed punt in the second quarter?
Pat Lee lost his bearings while blocking downfield and ran into Stefan Logan as he was trying to fair-catch a long punt. The lack of awareness on Lee's part was inexcusable.
But the officials initially ruled that it was Lions' ball, that it hit a Cardinals player first. But they quickly flipped the ruling and gave the ball to the Cardinals at the 5.
"Originally they ruled it was our ball and the onus would have been on the opponent to challenge and there wasn't conclusive proof," Schwartz said. "We had one of those on Thanksgiving where it was basically the same thing. The onus is on the team making the challenge.
"My question was, how come it went from that to flipping it and saying it was their ball."
Schwartz wouldn't say what response he got from the officials. Replays clearly showed the ball hit off Logan's hands.
Schwartz might have been better off arguing about the subsequent touchdown run by Beanie Wells. It appeared he fumbled before crossing the goal line, but replays were not conclusive.
Fourth down
The Cardinals didn't rush for 100 yards (99). They barely threw for 100 yards (104). Their two offensive touchdown drives were of 5 and 3 yards.
And they won the game by 28 points.
"It tastes great," said cornerback Patrick Peterson. "Actually, it tastes like filet mignon. It was something that we definitely needed."
The Cardinals snapped a nine-game losing streak.
"Christmas came early here in the desert," receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. "Santa made a delivery at University of Phoenix Stadium and we are all happy with the gift we received today."
At least the Lions made somebody happy.

Released in 1991, "I BLOW MINDS..." includes the anti-Gulf War rant "Die for
Oil, Sucker" which was originally released as an emergency anti-war 7".
Over a decade later, it's still relevant because the same players are
pushing the same agendas under the new guise of "war on terrorism."
"'Die for oil, sucker... sucker... sucker." Pedantic as these lines seem in hindsight, they were a left-wing rallying cry during Bush, Sr.'s Iraqi invasion. Now that foreign policy is repeating itself, we're revisiting Jello's third spoken word album to see how little's changed in the anti-war movement. Turns out "Die for Oil Sucker" has aged well- though we're guessing Jello's riff on the 'Pledge of Allegiance' ain't much of a hit post-9/11."- Alternative Press

Or let us help you search for the perfect rose...
|Roses vary in colour from white through to yellows, oranges, reds
and purples. The colour here represents the rose's colour if grown in
sandy Norfolk soil in East Anglian weather conditions. If you garden
in a different situation then the colour tones may vary.
|Bare root roses are available to order all year with despatch from November to March.
|Container roses are available in spring and summer and ready pruned in late summer autumn.
|Standard Tree roses are budded in 'Standard' form at varying heights.
2'6" for half standards,
3'3" for modern and full standards,
3'6" for shrub standards
4'6" for weeping standards..
|Click on the letter to see roses starting with that letter.
Refine your search by:
|Roses belong to many families such as the Portlands, Damasks, the modern
families and many more. Different families have different charactaristics; the
Damasks tend to be very double flowers with heavy scents, and the species
tend to be single flowers with mostly little scent that attract varied wildlife.
Roses fall into many groups which more or less define their function in the
garden. Groups include shrubs which tend to be full, waist height plants,
climbers which climb up structures, ramblers with grow quickly up to 15m (40ft)
or more although they tend not to repeat flower, and procumbent ground covering roses
which are useful for sprawling closer to the ground
Search by the estimated eventual height of the plant.
Plant mesurements are given as height by width. All heights quoted on the website
are guide heights based on mature plants grown in Norfolk sandy soil conditions under
East Anglian sun and so your eventual plant size may vary.
|Rose scent is so subjective that there was intense debate here at Peter Beales Roses
on whether it should even be included on our website. But as it is such an important
factor for many rose growers we have tried to provided scent strengths. These scent ratings
have been compiled soley by Peter Beales himself to try and give total consistancy through out
this very subjective topic. For example some roses smell intensely of citrus or myrh but
there are some people who can simply not detect either fragrance!
|Roses vary in thornyness from totally thornless roses like Zephrine Drouhin and Kathleen Haropp
through to very thorny roses like Kiftsgate and Mermaid, which are so big and thorny
they are useful for using as security barriers where intruders may otherwise stray! Most roses have some thorns and some are extremely interesting and beautiful.
|Where possible we have provided the date of introduction for each variety.
Some roses, especially the species roses which evolved naturally are so old
that the rose community can only guess at the age so we have provided an estimate.
Normally five petalled blooms exposing stamens at the centre.
Goblet shaped flowers of varying numbers of petals.
Many petalled flowers.
High Centred
Blooms open from very pointed buds.
Loosely Double
Generally open, often flat, usually many petalled
but sometimes has fewer petals.
Usually many petalled blooms with centre petals of
open flowers clearly falling into four segments
Saucer Shaped
Shallow cupped saucer shaped blooms.
Densely packed petals forming usually convex shaped blooms.
Blooms with many disorderly petals in an attractive formation.
|Roses can either be single (a few petals), semi double (more petals) or double (lots of petals).
|Small bloom sizes are appx 2.5cm (1") across, while medium tend to be 5cm (2") to 75cm (3") across and large bloom sizes can be over 7.5cm (3")
|Some roses, especially some of the hybrid teas and species roses can bear very interesting
hips if not dead headed in the summer. These come in a variety of colours and can help bring
birds and other wildlife into the garden, as well as add a dash of much needed colour in the autumn.
|Some roses, especially some of the hybrid teas and species roses can bear very interesting
hips if not dead headed in the summer. These come in a variety of sizes and shapes from oval
to flagon.
Suitable for growing:
|Some roses lend themselves to growing low down scrambling over beds, paving or any low part of the garden.
|Some roses are suitable to be grown in a pot no smaller than 18" (45cm) in diameter.
|If grown with support (oblisk etc) some shrub roses can be grown as a small climber.
|Some roses have vigour and can survive and thrive when planted into a woodland.
|Although no rose loves bad quality soil, some roses are more tolerant of poorer soils than other roses
|Some roses are suitable for creating a hedge if planted at 12" to 24" intervals in a line.
|Some varieties are worth growing for the ornamental value of hips
|North wall conditions can be harsher than other aspects in terms of wind damage, frost and temperature changes. Some roses grow well in these conditions.
|Although no rose enjoys shade, some are more tolerant of shade than others. All roses need at least 2 to 3 hours of direct sun a day, most need more.
|Can be used to climb and ramble through small trees
|If supported and pruned back, some climbing roses can be grown as shrub roses
|Some rose varieties are worth growing for the colours of their autumn foliage
|Some roses are suitable for growing in warm climates such as the South Europe, around the mediterranean and parts of the middle east.
|Some roses are suitable for growing in colder climates, such as North Europe and Scandinavia.

saw nearly $1.5 billion in insurer rebates and overhead cost savings in 2011
due to the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) medical loss ratio (MLR) provision
requiring health insurers to spend at least 80% of premium dollars on health
care or quality improvement activities or pay a rebate to their customers,
according to a new Commonwealth Fund report. Consumers with
individual policies saw substantially reduced premiums when insurers reduced
both administrative costs and profits to meet the new standards. While insurers
in the small- and large-group markets achieved lower administrative costs, not
all of these savings were passed on to employers and consumers, as many
insurers increased profits in these markets.
The report, Insurers' Responses to
Regulation of Medical Loss Ratios, looks at how insurers selling policies for
individuals, small-employer groups (up to 100 workers), and large-employer
groups (more than 50 or 100 workers, depending on the state) in every state
reacted to ACA's MLR requirement between 2010, the year just before the new
rule took effect, and 2011, the first year the rule was in place.
authors find that in the individual insurance market, improvements were
widespread: 39 states saw administrative costs drop, 37 states saw MLRs
improve, and 34 states saw reductions in operating profits. Some states stood
out for significant improvements. In New Mexico, Missouri, West Virginia,
Texas, and South Carolina, MLRs improved 10 percentage points or more, while
administrative costs dropped $99 or more per member in Delaware, Ohio,
Louisiana, South Carolina, and New York.
the report finds that in small- and large-group markets, MLRs were largely
unchanged, and while spending on administrative costs dropped, profits
increased. For example, in the small-group market, administrative costs were
reduced by $190 million, profits increased by $226 million, and the medical
loss ratio remained at 83%, unchanged from 2010. In the large-group market,
insurers reduced administrative costs by $785 million, increased profits by
$959 million, and kept their medical loss ratio at 89%, also unchanged from
authors note that while insurers in the individual market have a less stringent
medical loss ratio requirement—80%, as opposed to 85% in the large-group
market—their traditionally higher overhead costs and lower MLRs mean they have
to work harder to reach the new standard. As a result, these insurers lowered
both administrative costs and profit margins, therefore reducing growth in
insurers in the small- and large-group markets generally already have MLRs in
the range of the required 85%, so while they reduced administrative costs, they
had the option of turning those cost savings into profits instead of passing
them along to consumers. In light of rising profits and falling administrative
costs, the authors suggest it is possible insurers took profit increases in the
small- and large-group markets to offset the reduced profits in the individual
market. And because many insurers sell policies in all three markets, any
reduction in administrative costs could have been spread across all of a given
insurer's lines of business.
authors conclude that stronger measures—such as rate regulation, tighter loss-ratio
rules, or enhanced competitive pressures—may be needed to ensure that
administrative costs are reduced in all markets and savings are passed along to
