The fact that he raised that bear to be a deranged sociopath doesn't change the story at all?
Heart attack. The autopsy was last week.
Beloved Mr. Doerflein was a devoted "human parent" to precious Knut, who loves his fans very much. He waves back and forth to them and shows off for them and of late, he even plays ball with them by tossing the ball into the crowd (recently right into the arms of an adoring fan) and it was thrown back to Knut who appeared to attempt to catch it. I think he takes after his circus star prima donna mom, Tosca. I love Knut so very much and he is loved by many thousands all over the world. He is so well loved and highly regarded that Mercedes Benz came out with a Knuddle Knut keychain as an accessory to their high end truck line. I hope he lives a happy healthy life and receives lots and lots of love and nurturing. He is such a bundle of joy. It has been found that bears are as intelligent as the great apes and emotionally complex and sensitive. It doesn't surprise me at all after watching precious Knut's clever antics on YOUTUBE and in his WEBSHOTS albums by his numerous photo aunties, especially the very talented Christina Berlin. Knut rules. I have no ambition nor business sense so I have offered my art on WEBSHOTS (karenvstefanini) for fundraising, especially for bear protection groups.
Maybe he had bi-polar bear depression?
I have a fantastic Knut shirt I got at the Berlin Zoo. It says 'Mir geht's Knut' on it.
the article says:
"Knut has since been diagnosed as a publicity-addicted "psycho bear". Animal psychiatrists have called for him to be weaned from the spotlight."
The problem is that he spent so much time with Doerflein that he became habituated to that level and type of social interaction. My understanding is that finally, they were forced to separate because authorities concluded that Doerflein was likely to be seriously injured with the kind of play they were doing and since polar bears are solitary animals, they used that phsycological bench mark to analyse Knut and easily declared him "psycho". Maybe it went a little both ways and Doerflein became habituated to Knut and died of heartache, like a parent attached to a child is has kept alive by spoon feeding through 150 days on the edge of death.
(why did I post this...?)
There's a reason why bears are on Colbert's threatdown.
A publicity addicted psycho bear, huh? How long before a paparazzo releases a sex tape?

Margo Hill of Atlantic Beach: Wants a rebound of the stock market, doesn't want President Bush re-elected.
By Staff War, a presidential election, explosive growth in St. Johns County, quality education, beach erosion and ground breaking for the San Sebastian Harbor project -- these are predictions people are making for next year.
As it does every year, the world will change in 2004. But what will happen?
"Bush gets re-elected, stock market goes up, we get Osama," said Charlie Hoeppner from Jacksonville.
Other visitors had different forecasts when asked to "look into their crystal ball" to predict the future.
Margo Hill of Atlantic Beach also expects a rebound in the stock market, but she doesn't want to see President George W. Bush re-elected. She hasn't decided among the contenders in the primary field, but she wants to see a Democrat in the Oval Office.
She predicts better times when Bush loses next year's November elections.
"I think he's a liar and he's very bad for the world -- politically and environmentally," Hill said.

But George Dwyer of Winslow, Ark., wants Bush to win.
"He's one of the best presidents we've ever had," Dwyer said. "He's got guts and fortitude."
Dwyer said he will become a grandfather of twins and his wife, Anneliese, will retire in 2004.
Les Garcia of St. Augustine has a son serving with American troops in Iraq. Garcia predicts the war in Iraq will become another Vietnam. The people there aren't grateful for a representative democracy, he said.
"It's a quagmire, and it's bleeding our youth and it's draining our money," Garcia said.

Locally, growth is one of the challenges officials predict they will face.
St. Johns County Commission Chairwoman Karen Stern said the top issue associated with growth is transportation. The county's infrastructure is lacking, and thousands of homes have been approved but not built yet, she said.
"It's just getting more and more difficult for people to get around," Stern said.
To manage that problem, the county issued $30 million in transportation revenue bonds to jump start road projects. Much of the money will be spent on the early phases, such as land acquisition and permitting. And, the county plans to work with state and federal elected officials to secure funding for those projects, Stern said.
Stern said her goal is to lay the groundwork in 2004 for road projects that will improve transportation in the county.
"We can't do it all in one year," Stern said.
For the St. Johns County School District, growth means building more schools.
School Board Chairman Tommy Allen was unavailable for comment Tuesday.
However, the immediate past chairwoman Carla Wright, who continues as a School Board member, said the district will begin construction on two high schools and two elementary schools in 2004. The high schools will be located in the northwest and in the Ponte Vedra Beach area. The elementary schools will be in the northwest and southwest.
"As fast as we build them, they're going to fill them up," Wright said.
Once those schools are built, the district will need to find land for more schools, Wright said.

Large developments of regional impact provide school sites, but smaller planned unit developments do not, she said. Several planned unit developments clumped together burdens the school district because children move into the area, but no school site is provided, she said.
The district will also have to work to meet the requirements of the statewide class size amendment passed in 2002, which calls for fewer students in class rooms. Wright said the district will use more portables and build more buildings to meet those requirements.
The district will have to look for grants, because the state has been passing more and more unfunded mandates, she said. She's not in favor of raising ad valorem taxes.
But despite the challenges the district faces next year, the quality of education will remain high, Wright said. St. Johns County has a good school district and a good quality of life, and that attracts good teachers, she said.
"Hopefully that will continue," Wright said.
St. Augustine Mayor George Gardner foresees re-enactors in shops, streets and in the city's restored Spanish Quarter Village. He also sees regular block parties in neighborhoods and fiestas in business districts.
He wants to find new sources of funding to maintain St. Augustine's unique character and take the burden off of taxpayers.
Also, Gardner sees a completed Visitor Information Center parking garage with signs and an orientation center for visitors. And trolleys will shuttle them throughout town.
Is it possible? Yes, he said.
"It's basically going to take our entire community -- all our different neighborhoods, our merchants, our residents, our developers, our preservationists -- to get together to respect what a unique community and opportunity we have in St. Augustine," Gardner said.
St. Augustine will also continue to be a good place to live, said City Commissioner Errol Jones.
He wants the community to unite and form a consensus between residents and business owners as well as develop a balance between preservation and development.
"Together we can make this work," Jones said.
In 2004, Jones predicts a ground breaking for the San Sebastian Harbor project, a 14-acre development of boat slips, restaurants, a hotel and condos the city has tried to begin for years. He said it will benefit downtown as well as West Augustine because it will be a vibrant area.
Jones also foresees progress with downtown parking issues, and he wants to generate tourism in areas south of King Street. Many tourists turn around when they get to the Plaza de la Constitucion, he said.
"They phase out as if they think that's the end of our historical district," Jones said.
And, he said, tourism officials need to prepare for the Super Bowl in Jacksonville in 2005. By doing the right things, the city will reap the rewards of the Super Bowl experience for years to come, he said.
For St. Augustine Beach, the top priority will be maintaining strict height limits on buildings, said Mayor Frank Charles. The city needs to get control of the 35-foot height requirement and limit variances, he said.
The city is also working on an ordinance to limit the heights of residential and combined commercial and residential buildings at 27 feet.
Four of the five commissioners were elected in 2002. Charles said they need to stick to their guns and do what the people elected them to do.
"We should be fine," he said.
Another big issue on the beach will be working with Congress to get money to renourish the sand, he said.
The federal government has committed to paying 80 percent of the cost to renourish the beach every five years. The project ended last year.
However, Charles said if the beach erodes to a certain point, Congress can be asked for renourishment money earlier. He expects the beach to reach that point if this area is hit by another nor'easter.
Charles also wants to work with the county to make sure St. Augustine Beach has enough lifeguards and to open new beach access points.
Finally, the city is working to buy six acres of land near Publix for $1.5 million, he said. The property would be preserved.

There's a certain poetic justice to Tony La Russa's decision to retire after winning the World Series with a team that had no business winning one. There aren't many gaps in the man's résumé, but his third title filled one. He won when he should have won (1989), he lost when he should have won ('88 and '90), and now he's decided to walk away after a season in which he won the World Series in the most improbable manner. You could say 2011 cemented a legacy that dried and hardened years ago.
If you're looking to view the past 33 years of Major League Baseball through the eyes of one man, La Russa is the perfect tour guide. His old-school sensibilities (don't cross the man and expect it to be forgotten -- ever) meshed with the new-world thought processes to produce a dugout professor of Scholarly Medievalism.
He was a stat guy without being all wonky about it, redefining bullpen use in the late-1980s with a typically detailed, nearly compulsive precision. It was Gene Nelson for all or part of the eighth, Rick Honeycutt for a lefty or two and Dennis Eckersley to finish.
La Russa was willing to attempt the unconventional -- in some cases, the antithetical -- to get more out of his roster. Hitting the pitcher eighth in the lineup is destined to become the hallmark of his tradition-tweaking, but I'll fondly remember the "pod system" he briefly employed with a seriously flawed Oakland pitching staff in the mid-'90s. Instead of designating a starting pitcher, La Russa designated three pitchers for each game with the intention of coaxing three innings out of each. It didn't work, and it didn't last -- Doug Johns, John Wasdin and Ariel Prieto had something to do with that -- but it exemplified La Russa's congenital inability to fail conventionally.
And, before we get too sentimental, he presided over an Oakland team that became a traveling pharmaceutical show. He came away from that relatively unscathed, professing to know nothing and rarely being pressed. Like the commissioner and everyone else who was not directly implicated, La Russa escaped baseball's Great Drug War with a shrug and a how-was-I-supposed-to-know? After all, nobody expected him to join Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco in one of the dugout bathroom stalls. It was probably cramped with the two of them.
Which brings up another of La Russa's qualities: intense loyalty. (In fact, when discussing La Russa's qualities, it's understood that intense is the adjective of choice.) McGwire is the most obvious example. La Russa shepherded McGwire's public reintroduction, and it's not an exaggeration to assume that his prodding changed the man's life. Five years ago, it seemed unlikely that McGwire would ever appear in public. Now it's entirely possible he could end up working for another manager, in St. Louis or elswhere. That's nothing short of remarkable, and it has a lot to do with La Russa.
There's no doubt that La Russa could transition upstairs to the general manager's office if he felt the urge. Back before blogs and Twitter made instant news the scourge of baseball writing, La Russa's inside-baseball conversations became legendary among beat writers. His legacy exceeded the margins of the field.
One afternoon in the summer of 1995, when I worked in the Bay Area, La Russa and I began talking in the A's dugout. I don't remember the specifics, but I remember it was a baseball conversation that roamed wildly and never ceased to be fascinating. It started about 90 minutes before game time, and somehow I found myself still sitting next to La Russa 15 minutes before the first pitch, at least 30 minutes after I was supposed to have been unceremoniously swept from the premises.
Nobody wanted to tell Tony to kick me out. I was aware of the time -- to the point of avoiding eye contact with nearby security dudes -- but figured I'd ride it out as long as Tony would allow. Only when the PA announcer began announcing the starting lineups did La Russa say, "Damn, I've got a game to manage. You better get out of here." He was so intensely focused on talking about baseball that it was like he awoke from a trance.
That was the George Will side of La Russa, the engaging, analytical side that allowed him to give the flowery baseball valedictory address. It was partly a lie, though, because La Russa the baseball man was far less complicated. The guy who cavorted with the baseball-as-metaphor-for-life crowd had an equally strong dark side, the one that held Olympian grudges against players and managers who did his guys wrong. At times he was blinded by competitiveness. He could venge -- in the most archaic, medieval sense of the word -- with the best of them. His feud with Dusty Baker, which ignited one of the worst brawls in history between the Cardinals and Reds in 2010, is the defining managerial rivarly of its time.
La Russa leaves with the third-most wins of any manager, but it's hard to envision him being remembered primarily for winning. It sounds crazy to say a guy with 2,728 wins could have won more, but he'd probably agree. Then again, logic dictates that he shouldn't have won this year, but he did. And so he goes out in a way that fits his career: intensely, defying easy analysis.

I've reached a point in life where I need my glasses in order to find my glasses, which I never seem to leave in the same place twice. During the morning hunt for them, my unaided eyes pass over a haze of colors and oblongs that were once the legible spines on my bookshelves—a miscellaneous blur that seems somehow akin to the summer-reading recommendations I herewith offer. This small swirl of genres and sensibilities, five titles, is united only by my keen approval and the pleasant desire to put these books into others' hands.
In the course of his too-brief life (1928–82), while struggling with debt and drugs and mental illness, Philip K. Dick published much of his startling science fiction in pulpy paperback originals. How odd—and satisfying—to see a quartet of his novels newly added to the august Library of America (Four Novels of the 1960s [1], $35, 830 pp.), whose Bible paper and bookmark ribbons make each volume in that series resemble a sacred text or at least a missal. The Man in the High Castle (1962), included in this new edition, is a tour de force of alternate history, inventing as it does a world in which the Germans and Japanese have won the Second World War and divided the United States into nervous spheres of influence. Dick focuses on an...

The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating. They make their guests feel welcome. The restaurant, while basic, had excellent food. A big plus: they have a generator in case of power outages.
Considering the price (cheap!), the hotel exceeded my expectations. My only suggestion for the hotel management is that they accept credit cards for the convenience of their guests.
I would categorize it as a hostel rather than a hotel. More suited to backpackers than businessmen. It's not luxurious, but neither is the price. Though basic, it is a good, safe, clean place to sleep for a traveler on a small budget who plans to spend the waking hours outside of the hotel.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- Weather advisories were active last night as South Central Kentucky experienced rain, snow and ice. Bowling Green, in particular, woke up to warnings about high water over popular roads. Officials responded immediately to monitor the waters and caution all drivers.
"Most of the roads have all been marked either by the County Road Department or the State Highway Department, with cones. Again, I emphasize, if you have a question in your mind about crossing an area, don't do it," said Chief Deputy Tommy Smith, Warren County Sherriff's Office.
Impassable roads included (not limited to): Jackson Bridge Road, Little Knob Road, Anna Sandhill Road, Upper Dixie Highway, Oakland Road, W. R. Helton Road, Mt. Lebanon Road, Marty Drive, H. E. Johnson Road,, Fred Lively Road, Homor Murray Road, Goodrum Road, Hadley Cohron, McElwain Road and Little Beaver Creek Road.
Officials say our recent winter weather was a major cause of the eventful flooding.
"This time of year when we get a heavy rain, the ground is frozen and water doesn't soak in as good and it washes off a lot more," said Chief Deputy Tommy Smith, Warren County Sheriff's Office.
As always, officials urge drivers to not drive through the flooded roads. If you do find yourself stuck in high water, call 9-1-1 and do not get out of your car.
"If you have to think about it, don't do it. It doesn't take much water at all to pick it up and sweep it off a bridge," said Chief Deputy Tommy Smith, Warren County Sheriff's Office.
High winds were another factor in last nights hazardous driving conditions.
"We also faced a lot of trees that were down. Tree limbs and debris crossed the roads, so we had to spend a lot of time today going in and getting those cleaned up," said Wes Watt, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says this is all a waiting game at this point. They will have to wait on the water to clear out on its own, before they can come in and clear up debris.

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
It's the day before Christmas, the day before John's (David Arquette) 21st birthday. He's a prostitute on Santa Monica Blvd in L.A., and he wants to spend that night and the next day at the posh Park Plaza Hotel.
David Arquette, damn you. I think his performance saved the movie
A 1990s re-echoing of Midnight Cowboy, "johns" came out too heavy on biblical symbolism about the "impossible friendship" between two male hustlers, and its ambiguous sexual nature. Gorgeously shot and edited, teeming with blissful visual elements which in turn busied the filmmakers till the end, it overlooked stitching a more precised narrative folds. The flaws are forgiven saved for Arquette's haunting performance
unknown and underrated. who knew david arquette can actually act?

We're almost midway through the season, and the Houston Rockets have yet to experience a prolonged stretch of consistent two-way play.Houston's fallen to the Sacramento Kings (twice), been blown out horribly by the Oklahoma City Thunder (sans Russell Westbrook) and the Indiana Pacers, and lost to a hobbled Atlanta Hawks team that bravely scrapped 83 points together, all in the past month.They're far from bad, though, sporting the league's fourth best offense (including its third best team True Shooting percentage) and 10th best defense. Some of their struggles in individual contests can be explained by the myriad lingering injuries to key players like Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons, James Harden, Patrick Beverley, Omer Asik (yes, he's a key player), and Greg Smith.The one constant, however, has been a revitalized Dwight Howard. Once again he's the very best his position has to offer, and to date he's been Houston's Most Valuable Player. Howard's the rock on 14 of Houston's 15 most utilized five-man units, and over the past couple months he's unleashed a devastating (and surprisingly varied) post game.But it's on the other end where Howard's most had his work cut out for him. On some nights the three-time Defensive Player of the Year appears to be headed for a fourth trophy, while on others there are critical, preventable lapses (mostly not his fault) that send Houston into a momentary spiral.The Rockets' overall defense is top-10 with Howard on the floor and about average when he's off. He plays a ton, too. Kevin McHale refuses to remove Howard from the game in Hack-a-Howard situations and usually lets him play through threatening times early on after he's picked up multiple fouls.When defending pick-and-rolls Howard sags back into the paint, either forcing a mid-range jumper from the guard or a pass back to the screener, also for a mid-range jumper. Sometimes, if Howard closes out hard, his man will try to take him off the dribble. Due to Howard's awesome ability to slide while keeping his hands above his head this rarely works out well for whoever has the ball.But most often he's perfectly content receding back to the paint and waiting for the rebound. Letting someone take an open shot isn't the best strategy in the world, but there are much worse options. (When Howard's on the floor Houston's opponents are 6% more accurate from the mid-range, according to NBA.com. They also attempt shots from that zone 4.4% more often.)His unwillingness to leave the paint for fear of absolutely no Rockets protecting the rim or grabbing a rebound is somewhat fair, but that doesn't make it helpful. At least a couple times this season there've been moments where Howard won't go after a loose ball that's literally rolling on the ground a few feet outside the paint.It's a trust issue, and teams with bigs who can knock down an outside shot (New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers, Dallas Mavericks, etc.) have given Houston issues.Another spot where Howard's presence, or lack thereof, is felt is in the corner. A serious area of weakness for them last season, opponents are shooting 34.4% from the corner when Howard plays and 35.9% overall. Only the Thunder, Mavericks, and Pacers defend it better than that first number, and the second places them seventh in the league.Things turn into The Purge when Howard heads to the bench. There are no laws, no discipline, and all semblance of morality and human decency is abandoned in the worst way possible (maybe forget that last point). Every opponent turns into Shane Battier circa Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals, and shots fly into the hoop at a 40% clip when launched from the corners; good for 19th overall.Some of this is due to an increase in offense rebounds. But most of the time Houston's players are simply too concerned with protecting the paint. The rate of corner threes attempted doesn't change when Howard sits, but the quality of the shot is drastically improved.In both pictures every Rocket is either in the paint or a foot away.
Ironically, the one area where Howard's made his mark as an elite player is also Houston's greatest concern: the restricted area, where opposing teams connect on 61.3% of their shot attempts, making Houston one of the 10 worst teams in the league.Howard isn't lackluster as an individual defending shots at the rim, and a lot of these struggles are more symptoms of Houston's still-hilariously-awful perimeter defense than anything else.The Rockets will consistently miss a rotation when Howard's the help defender on 1-3 or 1-4 pick-and-rolls involving wings or power forwards. It's a painful weakness that smart teams will easily exploit over and over again in a seven game playoff series.Here we have Parsons and Beverley guarding a 1-4 high pick-and-roll against George Hill and David West. Not the smoothest "hedger" in the world, Parsons bangs into his teammate as West lumbers free into the lane. Beverley manages to cut Hill off at the elbow but West is still wide open. Why? Worried about leaving Paul George open on the perimeter, Harden doesn't slide far enough over from the weak side to muddle West's progress.Why doesn't Howard do something about it? Well, he's busy guarding this guy named Roy Hibbert. In a world where God is a Rockets fan, Parsons would take Harden's responsibility out on the perimeter and the two would switch. It isn't the best situation—there's a good chance Parsons' miscue at the beginning screwed them from the start—but nothing is worse than an open layup. Had

This question is related to (but distinct from) my other question here: Give focus to browser
I have an embedded flash object on my page, and I want it to be included in the tab cycle. I've set
tabindex on it, which works in FireFox but in Google Chrome and Apple Safari focus still slips past.
Here's some simple test code:
A
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width=550 height=400 id=movie_name tabindex=1>
<param name=movie value="http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player/_jcr_content/main-pars/flash_1/file.res/theFile.swf"/>
<embed src="http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player/_jcr_content/main-pars/flash_1/file.res/theFile.swf" name=movie_name type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" tabindex=1 />
Z
<button onclick="document.movie_name.focus()">Force focus into Flash</button>
(in a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/tcDGq/)
Everything has a
tabindex of
1 (I also tried variations on
0,1,2, etc), but it is impossible to focus the flash object with the keyboard. Clicking on it works, as does pressing the button, which triggers a simple bit of JavaScript. You can tell if it's focussed by mashing TAB; it will never give up focus via the keyboard so you'll never see anything highlight.
OK so I could hack together a fix which intercepts the TAB key and forces the focus in particular situations, but frankly that's a hideous solution. Is there some attribute I've missed here? I'm looking for a pure HTML fix if possible.

Radner Reincarnate
"Having cancer gave me membership into an elite club to which I would rather not belong," Gilda Radner said after being diagnosed.
Cancer is a bonding experience, whether one has it, knows someone with it or has lost someone to it. A 16-year breast cancer survivor, Kathy LaTour has put massive effort, creativity and experience into sharing her journey through cancer with others. She will have an entirely new and positive cancer-related experience when she debuts her one-woman show One Mutant Cell on Sunday evening.
Since her diagnosis with invasive breast cancer in 1986, LaTour has written The Breast Cancer Companion, has become a nationally recognized speaker and is an active board member of Gilda's Club North Texas.
Sound like a busy schedule? Try adding in treatments, doctor's appointments and hours of research. It all contributed, however, to one fascinating product.

Her show is a live journal-like account of some of the hilarious, odd and bonding experiences LaTour had post-diagnosis. They are the little quirky things that gave LaTour a new lease on life, the minutiae that gave her a lease on laughter.
Given that she is a woman performing this mix of comedy and cancer, it is befitting that all proceeds will go to the organization created in memory of comedian Gilda Radner. The pairing of One Mutant Cell and Gilda's Club is especially appropriate considering the focus of both is creating an atmosphere conducive to sharing the happenings that make up a cancer-affected life.
LaTour continues to support the program that supported her. What's not to support? Witness a very funny and very real chronicle of a life that laughed through cancer. Support a program dedicated to sharing that same laughter.

Two high-quality goals from Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure gave Manchester City a 2-1 home win over West Ham in the Premier League, but a disastrous piece of goalkeeping from Joe Hart denied them a clean sheet in injury time.
City's title was snatched away from them on Monday but Roberto Mancini's side are still aiming to approach the FA Cup final in top form and produced a stylish performance at the Etihad Stadium.
Aguero put City in front after 28 minutes when converting following a flowing team move that included contributions from Toure, David Silva and Samir Nasri, who pulled the ball back for the striker to score his 11th Premier League goal of the season.
Nasri also supplied the second assist after 83 minutes as he knocked a pass square for Toure, who lashed a brilliant effort into the top corner.
However, after sustaining a back injury, Hart was guilty of a shocking lapse deep into added time as a shot from Andy Carroll trundled straight through the legs of the England number one.
West Ham were unchanged from last weekend's win over Wigan while City brought in David Silva and Aguero for James Milner and Edin Dzeko, as well as Joleon Lescott for Matija Nastasic in the back four.
City's attack, rich in quality, almost clicked inside 10 seconds. From kick-off, Nasri embarked on a thrilling run and poked a pass through for Carlos Tevez, but the striker was well offside as he fired a shot at Jussi Jaaskelainen. A former hero at Upton Park, Tevez was in lively form against his former side, with the Argentinian striker rifling a 20-yard effort right at the West Ham keeper and then sending another effort over the bar.
West Ham's early strategy appeared to be to kick Silva out of the game as the playmaker was on the receiving end of heavy challenges from Winston Reid and Mohamed Diame. A rare chance fell to Diame, but his firm volley from the edge of the box was too close to Joe Hart.
It was City who controlled the first half, with Aguero striking the post with a scuffed effort from a deflected Silva pass, and on 28 minutes they equalled a club record for scoring in 48 consecutive home games - the previous mark being set between November 1927 and February 1930.
The move was supremely well-worked, with Toure, Silva and Nasri all involved in a quick interchange of passes before the Frenchman cut back for Aguero, who squeezed his shot under Jaaskelainen. And only a smart save from the keeper prevented a second before the break as he blocked from Pablo Zabaleta after spilling Nasri's initial effort from the edge of the box.
City looked fluent in possession with Silva back in the side to shape their attacks, and they constructed another nice move after the restart when Nasri skipped away from two men and scooped a gorgeous pass over the defence for Tevez, who saw his firm effort take a touch off Winston Reid and go behind.
The roles were reversed on 61 minutes when Tevez released Nasri in the box with a quite sensational reverse pass and the midfielder's drive was touched over the bar by Jaaskelainen. Tevez was then teed up by Aguero, who snaked away from James Collins in the box, before seeing a goal-bound effort deflected over by Joey O'Brien.
As City continued to apply pressure to the visiting defence, Nasri spurned a huge chance to make it 2-0 on 72 minutes. Tevez broke free on the right and delivered a tantalising cross, and the Frenchman looked certain to score - but he was caught in two minds over which foot to take it with, and failed to make the necessary connection.
After West Ham almost threatened an ill-deserved equaliser when Matt Jarvis had a shot blocked by what looked like the arm of Zabaleta and James Collins drove the loose ball wide, City finally killed the game off with seven minutes remaining. Toure received a square pass from Nasri just outside the box, knocked it onto his left foot and then thundered a shot into the top corner.
The hosts could have extended their lead as Aguero was denied by a fine block by Guy Demel before putting another presentable chance wide after Jaaskelainen spilled a shot from Zabaleta. However, it was West Ham who had the final say.
Hart had pulled up with back pain but soldiered on for the final minutes and looked completely ill at ease when a decently-struck effort from Carroll somehow snuck through his legs and rolled over the line to deny City a clean sheet in a game they should have won far more comfortably.
Samir Nasri (Manchester City) - Two assists for the Frenchman, who appears to be finding his best form now the title race has concluded. Nasri was lively throughout and was always looking to open up the West Ham defence.
MAN CITY: Hart 5, Zabaleta 8, Kompany 7, Lescott 8, Clichy 6, Barry 6, Y Toure 7, Silva 7, Tevez 7, Nasri 8, Aguero 7. Subs: Milner 6, Garcia 6, K Toure N/A.

Dart To Puncture View Of Fragile Markets With IPO
It wasn't just the goose that was getting fat at Christmas.
Dart Energy's push to bulk up in European unconventional gas is a sign it remains on course to list its international business in Singapore early this year, rather than join the ranks of IPOs scuppered by weak equity markets.
Dart acquired 22 onshore gas licenses in the U.K. from Greenpark Energy for A$42 million on Dec. 28, just days after buying out joint venture partner BG Group from 14 coal seam gas licenses in the U.K.
At first blush, a bigger foothold in Europe may be an odd way to woo new Asian investors more familiar with the unconventional gas story unfolding in rapidly industrializing China and India.
According to the International Energy Agency, Western Europe's gas demand will grow at a compound annual rate of 0.7% from 2008 through 2035. That's close to the slowest globally and compares with a 7.7% compound annual growth rate in China, where Dart already has a presence through the Dajing and Liulin coal seam gas licenses.
However, Europe ticks several boxes that emerging Asia doesn't, and which may play well with potential investors. Europe has an established spot gas price and infrastructure such as pipelines, which mean any discoveries can be developed quickly to bring in revenues. In countries like the U.K., policymaking is more transparent than in parts of Asia and that may help soothe any investor concerns about sovereign risk.
Dart Executive Chairman Nick Davies thinks the company has little to lose by pressing ahead with the IPO plan for the international assets in Singapore, even though conditions in global equity markets are far from ideal.
"In our first year at Dart we set a whole list of milestones, and every one we've gone through the response to our share price has been negative," Mr. Davies told Deal Journal Australia.
"That's because they've mostly been overseas. The only real positive blip we had in share response during the year was when we acquired Apollo in New South Wales and that's because shareholders could relate to it as it was on their back doorstep."
A look at Dart's share performance suggests Mr. Davies has a point. It ranked eighth in the top ten worst performing S&P/ASX200 stocks in 2011, falling 67.9%. Dart's shares traded at a high of A$1.18 on Jan. 13 last year, but are now changing hands at just 41 cents each to give the company a market value of A$290 million. Over the past 18 months, however, Dart has grabbed new licenses in Indonesia, India and Poland, and lifted its net natural gas reserves from 1.5 billion cubic feet to 43 billion cubic feet.
Dart was created in 2010 when Royal Dutch Shell and PetroChina purchased the Queensland coal seam gas assets owned by ASX-listed Arrow Energy. At the time, Arrow shareholders were given both A$4.70 cash and a single share in Dart, which held the remaining Australian coal seam gas assets in New South Wales state and some licenses overseas. The deal structure meant Arrow's over-10,000 strong investor base–largely based in Australia–transferred to Dart even though the international operations carried greater weight in the new company.
"We really don't want to go through another 12 months where (milestones) are just ignored by investors as we achieve them," Mr. Davies said.
Dart intends to keep a majority stake in the international business after the IPO, which is being handled by UBS. The company discounted the option of a Hong Kong listing quickly, because it viewed investors there as too focused on China. Ultimately a choice between an IPO in London and Singapore was decided in favor of the latter because Dart's head office is in the city-state along with several key personnel, including Mr. Davies.
Specifics on the IPO plan are being kept under wraps until the Singapore exchange authorities approve Dart's application to join the board, but Mr. Davies would prefer to give its offering additional heft by enticing a cornerstone investor. "Certainly it would be our hope that we'd get one on board in time for an IPO," he said.

A flying insect that's suddenly swallowed by a bat probably doesn't have a lot of time to reflect on its fate. If it did, though, it might wonder how on Earth the swooping mammal managed to grab it with so little warning. The answer is that bats don't hunt just one bug at a time. While scanning the air with echoes, they manage to plan two victims ahead.

KKR, Bain Said to Hire Goldman for $1 Billion Toys R Us IPO
KKR & Co. LP and Bain Capital Partners LLC hired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. for a $1 billion initial public offering of Toys R Us Inc., the retailer the buyout firms purchased in 2005, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The filing for the U.S. listing may come as soon as today, said the people, who declined to be named because the discussions are private.
Representatives of KKR, Bain and Goldman Sachs declined to comment. Calls to Kathleen Waugh, a Toys R Us spokeswoman, after regular business hours weren't immediately returned.
Private-equity firms, which spent a record $1.6 trillion on deals from 2005 to 2007, are using public market offerings to pay down debt and reap profits from companies they own. KKR, based in New York, has completed IPOs for chipmaker Avago Technologies Ltd. and retailer Dollar General Corp. during the past year.
Bain, based in Boston, KKR, and Vornado Realty Trust in New York bought Wayne, New Jersey-based Toys R Us for $7.5 billion, including assumed debt.
Sales at U.S. retailers climbed in April for the seventh straight month, led by automobile dealers and building-material stores, according to Commerce Department figures released on May 14. Purchases rose 0.4 percent, exceeding the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. That followed a 2.1 percent gain in March that was larger than previously estimated.
Retail purchases will climb 2 percent to 2.5 percent this month, less than previously forecast, the International Council of Shopping Centers said May 25.
Market Decline
The New York Post reported the Toys R Us plans yesterday on its website. JPMorgan Chase & Co. has also been hired to help lead a banking group that includes Bank of America Corp. and Credit Suisse Group AG, according to the newspaper.
Toys "R" Us is forging ahead with its sale even after the European debt crisis pushed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index down 7.1 percent this month and prompted at least 20 companies around the world to postpone or withdraw IPOs. Initial offerings from U.S. companies backed by private-equity firms are also losing money for investors for the first time in a least a decade.
The 14 initial sales by private-equity funds this year have fallen 2.8 percent in the first month of trading through May 26 after averaging gains every year since at least 2001, data compiled by Bloomberg and Greenwich, Connecticut-based Renaissance Capital LLC show.
While the IPOs have beaten the S&P 500 by 0.9 percentage point in the first month, companies without support from buyout firms outperformed the benchmark gauge for U.S. stocks by 6 percentage points.
Bubble Aftermath
Buyout funds are turning to IPOs to offload some of the $2 trillion in leveraged buyouts made during the credit-market bubble. The largest rebound in the S&P 500 since the Great Depression had spurred private-equity owners to turn to IPOs after returning less money to clients last year than at any time since at least 2000.
Money raised by LBO firms fell 78 percent to $35 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009, according to Preqin Ltd. of London, after the collapse of New York-based Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. a year earlier stymied deals and froze credit markets.
KKR and Bain are pressing ahead with what may be the biggest initial U.S. offerings of 2010.
HCA Inc., the hospital chain bought four years ago in a $33 billion LBO led by KKR and Bain, filed this month to sell as much as $4.6 billion in shares. The Nashville, Tennessee-based company's U.S. IPO would be the largest since Visa Inc. of San Francisco raised $19.7 billion in March 2008.
NXP Semiconductors NV, the Dutch chipmaker owned by KKR and Bain, said in April it will seek to sell $1.15 billion of shares. Apax Partners LLP in London was also among the private-equity funds that acquired Eindhoven, Netherlands-based NXP from Royal Philips Electronics NV of Amsterdam in 2006.

Years later, no payment after Elks sex suit lossOctober 17,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER - Lawyer for four women who won a sex discrimination suit against the Hartford Elks lodge are back in court to try to collect damages awarded by a court.
The women and the Human Rights Commission sued the Elks after seven women were denied membership to the then-all-male lodge in 1996. The Elks were ordered to pay an estimated $709,000 to victims and lawyers.
A year earlier, the national Elks organization had abolished its requirement that restricted membership to men.
But the Hartford Lodge said the women were denied for reasons other than gender. A jury found the lodge had violated state law by discriminating against the women because of their gender.
The Elks have refused to pay the damage award.

Under 6 – Under 9 Academy – Soccer for players 5 – 8 years old
The under-6 & under-9 age groups use an academy-approach style of player development that focuses on the player first. Players are grouped together in similar abilities to participate in fun games and activities, and then randomly placed on teams to play intersquad small-sided games of 4 vs. 4.
