It is estimated that over dollars 300m has just been spent on three recent Holocaust memorials in Washington, Los Angeles and Jerusalem. As many as four million 'pilgrims' visit annually the best-known killing fields or memorial sites of the Holocaust. Polish towns and villages in particular have learnt to rely on this burgeoning 'memorial industry', which attracts both investment and tourism.
What especially interests Young is the variety of ways in which the memory of the Holocaust is represented in such memorials. His book is divided into sections on Germany, Poland, Israel and America to emphasise the radically diverse natural and political agendas which have shaped the kinds of images and narratives used to denote the past.
For Young, there is not a simple relationship between historic events and present-day memories of them. Instead, he emphasises the extreme plurality of the 'buildings and designs by which every nation and people house remembrance'.
Rather than a unified view of the Nazi atrocities, each country in this lavishly illustrated work is shown to institutionalise its own version of the 'Holocaust'. Beginning with a study of East and West Germany, there is a fascinating exploration of the difficulties inherent in Germany's post-war task of producing memorials to its own debasement. After all, as Young astutely comments, 'only rarely does a nation call upon itself to remember the victims of crimes it has perpetuated'. There are, he declares, few, if any, national monuments to the genocide of the American Indians, or to the millions of Africans enslaved and murdered. Yet Germany has been expected both to memorialise the Holocaust and to build a civilised nation-state on the 'bedrock memory of its horrendous crimes'.
What Young reveals is that Germany's schizophrenic relationship to its past has been restated in an equally ruptured series of national monuments - or 'countermonuments'. One of the many interesting examples of a German anti-memorial is the disappearing black pillar against fascism designed by Jochen and Esther Gerz.
Built on behalf of the city of Hamburg in 1986, the Gerzs designed a 12 metre black pillar, made out of aluminium, on to which the local populace were encouraged to etch graffiti. Once a section is covered in etchings, the pillar is partially lowered into the ground. Instead of displacing the obligation to remember on to their monument, the Gertz's 'counter-monument' returns the 'burden of memory' to its visitors. This results in a bizarre annual civic ceremony in Hamburg: the local population turns out in 'good faith to cheer the destruction of a monument against fascism'.
By far the most moving section of The Texture of Memory concerns the 'rhetoric of ruins' in post-war Poland. As Young poignantly remarks, 'of Jewish life in Poland, only the fragments remain'. Former death camps, closed synagogues, abandoned ghettoes and grievously neglected Jewish cemetries make up Young's landscape of suffering. The 'memorytourist' in Poland is invited to 'mistake the debris of history for history itself'. In Treblinka, 17,000 granite shards are 'set in concrete to resemble a great, craggy graveyard'.
Young astutely charts the 'memory wars' in Poland which are caused by Poles and Jews bitterly contesting each other's versions of the past. In a country largely without Jews, he argues, it is inevitable that Holocaust memorials will reflect the dominant national concerns of contemporary Poles. For this reason, Young throughout writes an ever-changing 'biography' of all of the monuments under discussion (as opposed to thinking of them as timeless objects). He is particularly perceptive, in this regard, on the history of Nathan Rapoport's Warsaw Ghetto Monument. In 1988 a ceremony at this monument began with Solidarity commemorating the the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and ended with the strike at the Gdansk shipyards.
When it comes to Israel and America, however, Young is much less audacious in his account of the memorialisation of these two countries. He rightly points to the ambivalent need to 'remember and forget' in Israel - a country that has a selfproclaimed redemptive relationship to the Holocaust - which can result in Israel schoolchildren marching triumphantly into Auschwitz-Birkenau with flags held high. At the same time, he tends to accept at face value the invented nature of a 'common' Israeli national identity (around Holocaust memorial days and National Holocaust museums). But even 'invented' national identities have invidious consequences which Young shies away from exploring.
According to Young, every major American city now has a Holocaust memorial with dozens more in the planning stages. At its opening of the national memorial to the Holocaust in Washington DC, Elie Wiesel and other prominent Jews urged President Clinton to intervene on behalf of Bosnian Muslims. With visitors to the Washington museum given identification cards - so they can 'be' a victim for the day - Holocaust memorials in America are almost 'plural' enough to take account of American as well as European history.
But as The Texture of Memory makes astonishingly clear, such plurality tends to be subordinate to particular national agendas. A national museum on the evils of the British Empire is impossible to envisage in London, just as a memorial to American Indians is unlikely to be seen in Washington. History, as always, is written by the victors.

For jobs of all sizes, the expert design consultants can help you put together the perfect tile arrangement to highlight any area in your home.
Criteria for Backsplash and Kitchen Floor Tile
Step onto kitchen floor tile thats both beautiful and durable. Foot traffic, spills, and cooking splatter all impact the way your kitchen tile appears over time, and your kitchen gets a lot of use.

Police: Man, woman found with drugs, child
MORGAN CITY, La. -- A 23-year-old man and 20-year-old woman were arrested Wednesday across from a baseball park in Morgan City after St. Mary Parish Sheriff's narcotics detectives found synthetic cannabinoids on them, and discovered a child in the vehicle, St. Mary Parish Sheriff Mark Hebert said.
In a news release, Hebert identified the pair arrested at 6:12 p.m. Wednesday as:
—Christina Breaux, 20, of the Franklin Street in Morgan City, was arrested for possession of synthetic cannabinoids with intent to distribute, distribution of synthetic cannabinoids, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a juvenile, and violation of a drug free zone.
—Raymond Miller III, 23, of Franklin Street in Morgan City, was arrested for possession of synthetic cannabinoids with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a juvenile, possession of drug paraphernalia, violation of a drug free zone, obstruction of justice, resisting an officer, and on a warrant for probation violation.
Narcotics detectives observed a vehicle parked at a business on Federal Avenue in Morgan City across the street from a youth baseball park. The vehicle was occupied by Miller. Detectives knew that Miller had outstanding warrants for his arrest. Detectives made contact with Miller and arrested him. Miller then attempted to destroy a bag of synthetic cannabinoids in his possession while pulling away from detectives, Hebert said.
Through further investigation, the driver of the vehicle, identified as Breaux, was found to be in possession of several more bags of synthetic cannabinoids, Hebert said.
A child was present in the vehicle at the time the illegal drugs were found, he said.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for Breaux's and Miller's residence and located more synthetic cannabinoids and drug paraphernalia items, Hebert said.
Breaux and Miller were taken to the parish jail and held. No bail is set for Miller or Breaux.

My husband and I attended the Time Jumpers and were expecting to hear Vince Gill's fine baritone voice often throughout the concert.

Kenny Britt took to social media Wednesday to voice his displeasure with the Tennessee Titans.
Britt, who's had eight run-ins with the police since the Titans drafted him in 2009, posted a photo on his Instagram account of a $9,915.00 fine Tennessee handed him earlier in the day.
"Yu gotta be (expletive) kidding me.. walk back to dis.. Don't dey know I have kids .. I'm tired of did (expletive)," Britt wrote under the photo.
According to The Tennessean, the Titans fined Britt after he missed a rehab assignment Tuesday. The fine, the newspaper said, was given because the receiver had an "unexcused missed mandatory scheduled appointment w/ club trainer."
Britt is on the physically unable to perform list as he recovers from his third surgery on his knees within the past year.
According to The Tennessean, he was back working out with team trainers Wednesday.
Britt was arrested for a DUI on July 20. He was summoned to commissioner Roger Goodell's office on Monday to discuss the arrest and could be suspended for his latest run-in with the law.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

I hate writer's block
As I gaze up and rock
Back and forth nothing enters my mind
And all my past inspirations fall behind
It's my number one enemy
Worse than these pricks who won't agree
With me and who spend their time
Ragging on things I say like it's some crime
I hate writer's block
It's like my brains in shock
Can't stand this blank epoch
When my thoughts are bound in a lock
Stupid writer's I hate you so much
Bend over and I'll cut off your hands, feet, and such
Don't screw with my mind it's the money maker
You won't stop me from smearing my ink on the paper

Rafa Benitez, the Chelsea interim manager, wants to continue coaching in England, no matter how he fares at Stamford Bridge.
The Spaniard, an unpopular appointment due to his association with Liverpool, declined to look too far beyond winning the next game – against Rubin Kazan in the Europa League tonight – but felt compelled to comment on his own future. He knows delivering Champions League football is imperative, but with the club in the FA Cup semi-finals, his hopes of marking his short reign with silverware look promising.
Benitez, who revealed in February he will be leaving at the end of his spell in May, said: "If we can achieve trophies and finish in the top three, fantastic. Everybody will be happy. That is my aim at the moment."
As for his own future, he added: "I like to win, to challenge for trophies. I would like to stay in a top side. A top side, why not in England?"
Benitez also dismissed Ray Wilkins' criticism of his handling of Ashley Cole's fitness as an April Fools' Day joke before tonight's quarter-final first leg. Rarely reluctant to engage in verbal sparring with his critics, be they fellow managers or the media, his antipathy towards Jose Mourinho, whose name continues to be linked with a Stamford Bridge return, is no secret.
Yet Wilkins' own credentials as a former Chelsea captain, caretaker manager and, most recently, Carlo Ancelotti's assistant, did not spare him from the soft-spoken wrath of the smiling Spaniard.
Wilkins had told a radio station he believed Cole's hamstring injury, which was sustained early in Monday's FA Cup quarter-final replay victory over Manchester United and will keep him out of both legs against the Russians, was the direct result of being omitted from Saturday's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Southampton. "I honestly feel he has to play all the time," he said. "[Cole] is one of these machines. You have to keep it well oiled and it will fly. Had he played on Saturday, he wouldn't have done that."
Benitez had also been accused of being more interested in adding to the "trophies won" column of his CV than steering the club into next season's Champions League, when another manager will have taken over.
"I thought it was the first of April," Benitez said. "You can't take the comments seriously. I have a degree in sports science from Spain, have spoken to many people about injuries. It's the first time I ever heard anything like this. First of April."
Wilkins, who was handed the Chelsea captaincy in the 1970s aged just 18, was not the only Stamford Bridge legend to be discussed before the Rubin Kazan tie, as Benitez also claimed he had made Frank Lampard a better player. "A lot of players are growing," he said in response to a question about Ryan Bertrand, who will fill in at left-back until Cole regains fitness. "And I will tell you one other name who is improving a lot – Frank Lampard, because he is scoring a lot of goals."
So Benitez has improved, in just a few weeks, a 34-year-old who has almost 100 international caps and has scored 200 goals for his current club? This, it turned out, was merely a little joke rather than the latest "fact".
"I was waiting for someone to show an interest in that," he said. "What I meant was that he has been playing very well. When I came he was injured. He was scoring goals at the beginning of the season and is scoring goals after that so he has improved during this season."

Big winner in Gulf spill may be Brazil: institute
By Allen Johnson, AFP June 8, 2010, 11:40 am TWN
NEW ORLEANS -- For decades the oil industry pushed deeper and farther into the sea in search of black gold while the U.S. government did little to ensure they had the resources needed to prevent blowouts and mitigate massive spills.
U.S. President Barack Obama insisted Friday that the government will no longer rely on "assurances" from oil companies after the catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico showed not only the flaws in back-up systems but that BP "had no idea what to do when the systems broke down."
Crude continues to spew into the Gulf more than six weeks after the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon sank spectacularly after an explosion that killed 11 workers some 52 miles off the coast of Louisiana.
Heavily oiled birds, turtles, dolphins and other marine life are now being found as a black tide coats beaches and fragile coastal wetlands despite a massive response effort.
And while BP's latest effort to contain the spill appeared to be working, officials caution that they could once again be stymied by the complexity of working 5,000 feet below the surface.
A six-month moratorium Obama imposed on deepwater drilling could end up blocking oil and gas development for six years because of the scarcity of drilling rigs, cautioned Eric Smith, associate director of the Tulane Energy Institute.
Some 33 deep water drilling rigs currently working in U.S. waters were shut down by the moratorium, and with operating costs of US$500,000 a day they will need to seek friendlier harbors.
"The big winner in all this is President (Luiz Inacio) Lula (da Silva) in Brazil," Smith said in reference to massive deepwater reserves recently discovered under a thick salt layer offshore.
"He was thinking he'd have to wait three years for his first drilling rig and he can go bid on 33 of them right now at really good prices."
The offshore oil industry has an excellent safety record — nearly 50,000 other wells have been drilled in U.S. waters without major incident, 700 of which were as deep or deeper than the BP-leased one — and a strong incentive to make sure nothing goes wrong, Smith said.

England kick off their 2006 World Cup challenge against Paraguay today - but I don't fancy their odds of getting their hands (sorry, feet) on this little beauty, the gold Adidas Teamgeist World Cup football, which is to be used only once during the tournament: in the final. But that doesn't stop the players - or you - getting hold of your own Teamgeist ball for those park friendlies. Tests at Loughborough University have found that this ball is more round (no, really) than its competitors. It's also super water-repellent, so it doesn't get heavier no matter how soggy the pitch, and the 14-panel configuration makes for fewer seams and a more consistent performance. Here's hoping for a seamless and consistent performance from the boys, too. Adidas Teamgeist World Cup ball, £75; 0870 240 4204 for stockists (adidas.com/football).
Out on the town
Getting out of the office is generally a good thing, but next weekend's Rat Race Urban Adventure in Bristol takes the idea to extremes, with competitors abseiling across roads, scaling landmarks, kayaking waterways, climbing buildings, vaulting benches and mountain-biking down stairways. You don't need experience - there are Rookie and Adventure categories - but you do need wits and stamina (and mates: teams consist of three people). The event begins with a three-hour 'Mean Streets' prologue on Saturday night, in which teams have three hours to reach as many checkpoints as possible. For the Adventure class, the battle continues on Sunday with a six-hour 80km course around the city revealed only that morning. Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough. The Rat Race Urban Adventure also takes place in Edinburgh on July 15-16 and Manchester on August 5-6. Entry is £25 a person for Rookie, £80 for Adventure; 0845 009 4365 for details (ratraceadventure.com).
Flying colours
Search through the drawers of any self-respecting outdoor type and you are sure to come across a well-worn, black or navy, long-sleeved thermal top with white stripes down the sleeves. It's the ubiquitous Helly Hansen and until recently it's been the flagship garment of the brand- functional, comfortable and useful, but certainly not sexy. Well, Helly's had an image overhaul, if the new summer range is anything to go by: shorts, T-shirts, vests, hoodies and pants for everything from sailing to adventure racing come in high-performance fabrics and fab colours such as turquoise, charcoal grey and rusty orange. Word is that the original Helly thermal will be available in bright pink this winter, too. I'm first! For stockist details, call 0115 960 8797 (hellyhansen.com).

we booked 2 nights over hostelword and i paid the provision on hostelword and when we arrived the unfriendly staff told us that they dont work together with this platform and we had to pay again. Actually we booked 2 nights and the hotel were full the second night so we had to leave. Nothing was included. The rooms were dark, old and sad and at all this was the worst hostel/hotel on my trip. Unfriendly, 0,0 atmosphere, boring - just bad. Dont go there!

Risk and Return: A New Look
One of the best documented propositions in the field of finance is that, on average, investors have received higher rates of return on in- vestment securities for bearing greater risk. This paper looks at the historical evidence regarding risk and return, explains the fundamentals of portfolio and asset pricing theory, and then goes on to take a new look at the relationship between risk and return using some unexplored risk measures that seem to capture quite closely the actual risks being valued in the market. The paper concludes that the best single risk proxy is not the traditional beta calculation but rather the dispersion of analysts' forecasts. Companies for which there is broad consensus with respect to future earnings and dividends seem to be less risky (and hence have lower expected returns) than companies for which there is little agreement among security analysts. It is possible to interpret this result as contradicting modern asset pricing theory, which suggests that total variability per se will not be relevant for valuation. As is shown in the paper, how- ever, this dispersion of forecasts could well result from different companies being particularly susceptible to systematic risk elements and thus the dispersion measure may be the best individual proxy available to capture the variety of systematic risk elements to which securities are subject.

A lot has happened today. Apple released the new iPad, which, in turn, released a wave of terrible jokes on the internet. President Obama will deliver the State of the Union address tonight. So, yeah, it's a big day. Read all about it:
- Author and historian Howard Zinn passed away today. He is, of course, best known for his book A People's History of the United States, one of the most influential and widely read history books of the 20th Century. I distinctly remember reading the book for the first time. It was an illuminating experience. I suspect PHUS is on the shortlist of books that changed lives. His voice will be missed.
- If you're anything like me, you'll love this photo gallery of literary drunks and addicts. I'm especially fond of Jean Cocteau's picture. It's how I feel most of the time.
- Speaking of the iPad, Farhad Manjoo wants one: "Many times during the presentation, Jobs hailed the iPad as the world's best Web browser. "It's like holding the Internet in your hands," he said. He's right. Because you hold it right in front of your face, just as you would a book, everything online seems closer and more intimate than it does on a desktop or laptop." Interesting. I'm not sold yet, but maybe it's the kind of device that plays well in person.
- And finally, Alex Balk at The Awl on a certain similarity between today's two big events: "This is a very rough thought that I may or may not refine, so take it as such, but the iPad is a lot like Barack Obama: Everyone was able to project their own fantasies and aspirations on a product with which they were mostly unfamiliar, only to sour on it once they realized that it did not live up to their impossible expectations." As always, the comments are worth reading, too.

Supreme Court lawyer and political pundit Linda Hirshman details the stunning story of how a resourceful and dedicated minority transformed the notion of American marriage equality and forged a campaign for cultural change that will serve as a model for all future political movements. In the vein of Taylor Branch's classic Parting of the Waters, Hirshman's groundbreaking Victory: The Triumphant Gay Revolution is the powerful story of a massive shift in American… (more)
Hirshman's snappy prose may be the very thing that makes "Victory: The Triumphant Gay Revolution" a good starting point for learning about recent gay history. But the cost is a trivializing of a far more complicated past.

With the play-offs drawing closer it is now becoming clearer which teams are the real heavyweights of this season's Currie Cup.
With the play-offs drawing ever closer, it is now becoming clearer which teams are the real heavyweight challengers of this season's Currie Cup competition.
Defending champions the Golden Lions and last year's runners-up, the Sharks, share top spot after wins over Free State Cheetahs and Western Province respectively last week. And Johan Ackermann's Lions will host the Sharks in a repeat of last year's final at Ellis Park in Johannesburg in the late game on Saturday.
Prior to that, the action kicks off in Cape Town where Western Province host Griquas. Following that clash, the teams occupying the bottom places in the standings – the Free State Cheetahs and the Blue Bulls – do battle in Pretoria.
After struggling during the initial stages, Griquas are currently the tournament's form team, with three successive wins, and amongst the contenders for a spot in the semis while WP will be smarting after losing to the Sharks last week.
With four rounds of matches remaining, the Cheetahs and the Bulls will be desperate to avoid another defeat if they want to reach the knockout stages.
Saturday, 22 September
Western Province v Griquas
Blue Bulls v Free State Cheetahs
Golden Lions v Sharks
1. Golden Lions 20
2. Sharks 20
3. Western Province 15
4. Griquas 15

6. Blue Bulls 9
Western Province v Griquas
Newlands Stadium, Cape Town
WP's players have plenty to prove after their humiliating defeat to the Sharks in Durban. Apart from their 43-27 loss, the men from the Cape finished that match with twelve men after receiving two reds and an one yellow card.
After beating the Golden Lions and the Sharks, the tournament's least-fancied team showed that those two results were not flukes when they thrashed the Blue Bulls in Kimberley last weekend.
Griquas' clinical display against their more fancied opponents was a fine display of running rugby and don't be surprised if they attempt a similar game-plan against Allister Coetzee's men.
Coetzee does not expect his opposition to deviate from their expansive style and has therefore picked a young pack that will be able to play a fast-paced game.
Keep an eye on their mobile front-row of Frans Malherbe, Scarra Ntubeni and Steven Kitshoff who have all impressed in recent weeks.
Coetzee expects them to make play a crucial role against Griquas.
"They're all young and run strongly with the ball," he said.
"They are equally mobile when called on for defence.
"They also played as a unit when we defeated Griquas in Kimberley earlier this season."
Prediction: With rain predicted for Cape Town, Griquas' fairytale run is about to come to an abrupt halt. WP to win by seven points!
The teams:
Western Province: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gerhard van den Heever, 13 JP du Plessis, 12 Marcel Brache, 11 Gio Aplon, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Louis Schreuder, 8 Jebb Sinclair, 7 Don Armand, 6 Deon Fourie (c), 5 De Kock Steenkamp, 4 Wilhelm van der Sluys, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Scarra Ntubeni, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Deon Carstens, 17 Brok Harris, 18 Helmut Lehmann, 18 JJ Gagiano, 20 Nic Groom, 21 Gary van Aswegen, 22 Damian de Allende.
Griquas: 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Richard Lawson, 13 Jean Stemmet, 12 Walter Venter, 11 Rocco Jansen, 10 Francois Brummer, 9 Marnus Hugo, 8 Leon Karemaker, 7 Wesley Wilkins, 6 Marnus Schoeman, 5 Martin Muller, 4 Ligtoring Landman, 3 Lourens Adriaanse, 2 Ryno Barnes (capt), 1 Steph Roberts.
Replacements: 16 Matt Dobson, 17 Ivann Espag, 18 Edwin Hewitt, 19 Justin Downey, 20 Jacques Coetzee, 21 Marnitz Boshoff, 22 Luzuko Vulindlu.
Kick-off:15:00 (14:00 BST, 13:00 GMT)
Referee: Stuart Berry
Blue Bulls v Free State Cheetahs
Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Pretoria
Who would have thought that the Bulls and the Cheetahs – teams that have regularly been in the running for honours in recent years – would be involved in a basement battle of this competition?
Well, that is a reality for both teams and another defeat could prove catastrophic if either side want to make the play-offs.
Bulls captain Dewald Potgieter is aware of the situation and knows that his team cannot afford a slip-up this weekend.
"There are no second chances left," he said.
"We have to turn this season around and justify all the hard work that we put in and reward the faith that has been placed in us."
Despite their lowly position in the standings, Blue Bulls fly-half Louis Fouché is the leading points-scorer in the competition with 83 points from six matches.
The Cheetahs are in a less precarious position but know that defeat will mean that they trade places with their hosts on the table.
Playing at Loftus Versfeld is a daunting task for any side, but Naka Drotske's troops are always competitive and will fancy their chances against their opponents who have now gone three matches without a win.
A player who could make an impact for the visitors is SA U20 representative Raymond Rhule who is always dangerous on attack. Rhule has played on the wing in previous matches but will be at outside centre against the Bulls.
Prediction:The Bulls' returning Boks will prove to be the difference between winning and losing for the home side. Bulls to win by five points!
The teams:
Blue Bulls: 15 Jürgen Visser, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Francois Venter, 11 Sampie Mastriet, 10 Louis Fouchè, 9 Jano Vermaak, 8 Arno Botha, 7 Jacques Potgieter, 6 Dewald Potgieter (c), 5 Franco Mostert, 4 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Willie Wepener, 1 Mornè Mellett.
Replacements: 16 Bongi Mbonambi, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Cornell Hess, 19 CJ Stander, 20 Ruan Snyman, 21 Lionel Cronjè, 22 Ulrich Beyers.
Free State Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Nico Scheepers, 13 Raymond Rhule, 12 Robert Ebersohn (c), 11 Rayno Benjamin, 10 Tewis de Bruyn, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Lappies Labuschagne, 6 Heinrich Brussow, 5 Izak van der Westhuizen, 4 Francois Uys, 3 Ross Geldenhuys, 2 Hercu Liebenberg, 1 Marcell van der Merwe.
Replacements: 16 AJ le Roux, 17 Coenie Oosthuizen, 18 Carl Wegner, 19 Hendro Scholtz, 20 Sias Ebersohn, 21 Philip Snyman, 22 Andries Strauss.
Kick-off:17:05 (16:05 BST, 15:05 GMT)
Referee: Rasta Rasivhenge
Golden Lions v Sharks
Coca-Cola Park Stadium, Johannesburg
Ellis Park is not a happy hunting ground for the Sharks. They suffered losses to the Lions in last year's final and in a Super Rugby match earlier this year and will be keen to reverse that trend.
The Sharks will take comfort from the fact that earlier this year they ran

At the front, the coupé shares the same styling as the latest C-Class and yet still has its own twist. The front view is dominated by the prominent radiator grille surround including the bumper. The centre air intake opens upwards, forming a visual base unit for the radiator grille which has the double-louvre style typical of a coupé. Two chrome louvres extend left and right either side of the central star, tapering off at the outer edges and creating a sporty, arrow-shaped horizontal sweep which gives the front end a pronounced V-shape http://www.eurocarnews.com/219/0/1094/0/the-perfect-shape-the-2012-c-class- coupe-world-premiere-in-geneva.html

Hotel Indigo Asheville Downtown
151 Haywood Street, Asheville, NC
0,2 km von
ab 118 €
Good location meant walking distance to all of downtown Asheville as well of easy highway access. Staff was friendly, and the hotel had a hip, modern feel. Cost was high for lack of amenities. Modern design lacked some warmth as well as function. Created a louder atmosphere in a bad way, Doors closing on the floor we stayed could be heard at all hours. Really nothing to 'do' at the hotel so why was the price as high as others in the same area with full bars, restaurants and pools?
I loved the view in our "view" room. The hotel staff were very friendly and the room was so spacious, clean, and comfortable! Bed was amazing, floors were super clean, and the whole experience was amazing. My girlfriend was very happy, and so it made our getaway wonderful. The walking distance to downtown was also one of our favorite features of the hotel. It was definitely worth it. The only thing that held me back a little was the price. I paid $240 with taxes included, and didn't get as high of a floor as we wanted (4th), but it was very quiet and you couldn't really hear the traffic below so it was all good. I would definitely stay again. Knowing this room goes for $400+ on the weekends made me appreciate the value we were getting as well. It was definitely a wonderful experience.
Great staff Nice location -- walkable to everywhere downtown Beautiful, spacious room Easy in and out A bit noisy, with highway/main street traffic
Sehr gute Lage mit gut zu erreichendem Parkplatz . Hotel ist schön. Ausgezeichnetes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis im Vergleich zu anderen Hotels in der Innenstadt. Nicht das modernisierteste Zimmer.
Unschön Fitnessraum, kontinentales Frühstück
Location couldn't be better!! Staff is very welcoming, and the spacious accommodations allowed us to spread out and never feel cramped. Comfy bed. Plenty of drapes to block light and really sleep in if you wish. The adjacent bier garden is a bonus if you want to watch sports, and the bartenders are very friendly.
Huge room, but almost too big (not cozy). Staff is super friendly. Location, Location, Location! Nice touch that you get water/champagne upon arrival and a goodie back of water and snack bars for ride home. Free internet. Free breakfast at attached cafe which is decent. Was nice not to feel nickel and dimed. Dated furniture (but it is very well maintained).
Room was great, very spacious and well appointed but a little dated. Staff was excellent. Perhaps it was the downtown location but the street noise, even in an upper level room was very noticeable.
Location, staff, and rooms The noise level in our hotel room was unbelievable. We were informed that there was a family with 4 children under the age of 8 in the king room above us! I found it unbelievable especially since I had requested a quiet room for my birthday. This obviously did not happen and we found ourselves moving rooms at 11:00 pm! Great hotel but terrible noise insulation in rooms.
It's clean, well appointed, nicely decorated, and all amenities and facilities were of superior quality and construction. The free breakfast was surprisingly very good, and the staff was warm and friendly. I will stay here again, especially given the price. One drawback is the location...a few blocks away from the action and attractions of downtown. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone but the very infirm or physically challenged, but it is a consideration. A nearby homeless shelter was also a strange neighbor...but...its Asheville. The city population seems to be mostly homeless people so...
the mattress and pillows were too soft, and left us wanting for a better night sleep.
Great breakfast. Great beds. No rooftop bar.

Much like its peers, Snapchat thinks it can revolutionize brand advertising for digital platforms. "There's a tremendous pent-up demand for big-brand advertisers to allocate their brand advertising to digital," Snapchat's chief strategy officer Imran Khan told Fast Company in a new feature story. Most advertisers are still pouring resources into television and print media—this year alone, advertisers allegedly spent $32 billion on magazine and newspaper ads—but social media companies like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are all betting they can strike gold when the ad industry begins to rely exclusively on digital.
As Fast Company learned, a key rationale for why tech giants like Snapchat should target big-brand advertisers is because it can be difficult to judge the success of a campaign, which means advertisers with smaller budgets may be turned off by the lack of obvious results. But for a brand like Taco Bell, throwing money at a digital platform like Snapchat makes sense as part of a national campaign. Taco Bell's chief brand engagement officer told Fast Company that Taco Bell has been more successful on Snapchat than on any other social network—but comparing that success to other efforts, such as TV ads, is a challenge:
Marisa Thalberg, who oversees how youth-oriented fast-food chain Taco Bell interacts with customers, says that Snapchat has become its "most engaged platform." Including TV? "No, no, on social," she quickly responds, before stopping short, reconsidering, and adding with a laugh, "Although how do you measure engagement on TV? Who knows? Maybe it is."
Companies that want to snag millennial eyeballs turn to Snapchat for obvious reasons, and will continue to do so. "You know the audience you're getting," one digital Hollywood executive told Fast Company. "Everyone who has a child between 12 and 24 knows who's using it and the success with it. So it's not a secret who you're advertising to."
But this doesn't mean brands are getting their full attention, even on a platform like Snapchat that skews young. Earlier this year, Snapchat found that 60% to 70% of users stopped watching ads on the app just three seconds in.
Executives at Coca-Cola, however, revealed to Fast Company that Coke has managed to turn that number around, and has seen a marked upswing in engagement on Snapchat. The trick? Tailoring its ad content to the messaging app:
"We learned we needed to adjust the way we talk to Snapchat's audience, because they detect when it's advertising," says Coca-Cola North America content SVP Emmanuel Seuge. The company's ads repurposed from TV and other social networks performed poorly during Snapchat's Live Story for the NCAA Final Four tournament. The soda brand continued working "hand in hand" with Snapchat to develop more ad programs; not long ago, as part of Snapchat's back-to-high-school Story featuring scenes from kids' first day of classes, the completion rate for a Snapchat-exclusive 10-second Coke spot shot up to 54%.
Snapchat's selling point continues to be its audience, despite sky-high advertising rates and misgivings that it doesn't offer brands detailed metrics on viewership. The company is acutely aware that it offers unique access to a young audience: As one marketing exec told Fast Company, "They understand their power right now, and they're just egotistical about what they have."
Still, brands like Coca-Cola are eager to invest money and resources into Snapchat as the company fine-tunes its advertising push. "[Snapchat] is not going to get held to the same sort of rigorous metrics that we can now put in place for other vendors with more granular data," Coca-Cola exec Ivan Pollard explained to Fast Company. "We're willing to risk a bit of money to learn."

Video: Jason Derulo, John Legend and More Perform at CMT Awards
Jason Derulo stole the spotlight at the CMT Awards, which was held at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday, June 4. The R&B singer hit the stage at the event to perform his smashing hit single "Talk Dirty".
He was joined onstage by Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line, who previously treated the crowd with the live performance of their collaborative track "This Is How We Roll". When performing "Talk Dirty", FLG even modified the lyrics to make the song sound country-ish.
Bryan, who won two awards including one that he shared with FGL, returned to the stage to perform his "Play It Again" later that night.
John Legend was another unexpected face to perform at the country event. The singer delivered a beautiful rendition of his chart-topping hit "All of Me". He and Jennifer Nettles shared vocal duties while Hunter Hayes played his acoustic guitar.
Other performers that night included Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood, who sang their duet "Somethin' Bad", Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley and Eric Church.

Lake District – A brief illustrated guide
from LakeDistrict.org.uk
(while the real site is under development)
The lake district covers an expanse of 2,292 square kilometres and is home to over 42,000 people. Both these numbers pale into insignificance however compared to the number of people who visit this beautiful landscape each and every year – a whopping 16 million.
It isn't difficult to see why so many people visit this area of the UK, it's high mountains and deep lakes setting the perfect backdrop for the quaint villages and expansive views.
Home to Sca Fell Pike, the highest mountain in England, Wastwater and Windermere – the deepest and longest lakes in England it's understandable that it is the top destination for hillwalkers, climbers, boatsmen (and ladies) as well as people just wanting to get away from the drab urbanscapes and cities and into the countryide – and I can't think of a better place to do it.
Towns within the Lake District:
Ambleside, situated at the head of Windermere is a popular base for mountain biking, hiking and mountaineering. It has a large number of guesthouses, pubs and restaurants as well as specialist, independent shops, so is one of the most frequented towns for people visiting overnight or for any length of time. The old market cross still marks the town centre and the most famous landmark has to be the Old Bridge House, which is two rooms and an external staircase built atop a old packhorse bridge. Originally thought to be a summerhome the building is now run by the National Trust and houses the Tourist Information Centre.
Appleby, now Appleby-in-Westmorland is a traditional market town within a loop of the river Eden. Overlooked by Appleby Castle, made up of the 12th Century Keep and stunning Mansion House, the town is best known for it's Horse Fair held annually in early June which attracts over 30,00 visitors who travel the length and breadth of the country to attend the unique festival.
Grasmere, a small village overlooked by Helm Crag, takes its name from the adjacent lake and is one of the most photographed areas of the Lake District. The home of William Wordsworth for over 14 years is famous for its Gingerbread, made to a secret recipe and sold throughout the village and surrounding areas. Grasemere Sports is an annual tradition which has been running since 1852 and is the main event for the village who welome participants from all across the district to compete in challenges such Cumberland Wrestling and fell running.
Kendal, the 'Southern Gateway to the Lakes' is most famous for its Mint Cake, the high-energy bars capable of helping you climb even the highest of mountains. A popular destination for visitors, especially those entering The Lakes from the south and recognisable due to the majority of building being constructed from the local grey limestone. It is home to two castles, neither of which would be very good at defending the town today, Kendal Castle dates back to the 12th Century but today is in ruins and Castle Howe, an even older castle, now just earthwork remins. The town has rows of houses dating back as far as the 1600's but unfortunately a lot of the other historic buildings have been knocked down over the years.
Keswick is located between Derwentwater and the Skiddaw hills and is the most popular destination in the North Lakes for holidaymakers and daytrippers. Welcoming visitors for its annual Film Festival and Beer Festival, during which you can taste over 200 real ales, or try to at least. Visitor numbers for these however are tiny compared to the number of pilgrims who visit just to see the pencil museum, home of the world's largest pencil. Be sure to add this to your itinerary if you are in the area.
Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, the latter being a district of the former, are commonly referred to interchangably and although they still have two distinguishable town centres the actual settlements have expanded and overlapped creating one large tourist honeypot reaching down onto the banks of the lake. The town is named after the railway which was introduced in 1847, before that it was known as Birthwaite. The railway gives easy access to visitors with a direct line from Manchester and Manchester Airport.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm on H1 and my wife on H4 , my I - 485 has just been filed ( category EB2 ) . My wife would like to visit her family overseas for one month . Would that impact my PERM process ? ( I will not travel , just my wife - if it's OK ) .
Advance Parole usually takes 3 months, and I may not have this time. To be honest, what is happening is that my wife and I have been having some serious problems in our relationship in the last months, and now she is seriously considering to travel to spend some time with her family, and then decide whether or not she will come back. If she leaves the country without AP while the I-485 is still pending, is it going to impact my application as well (or only hers)? Thanks a lot for the clarifications!
It is confusing whether the process of PERM has just started or you filed for I-485? If the company just started the process, travel on H-4 should not be a problem. However if I-485 is filed and advance parole document sought, discuss this option with your attorney.
This response is general in nature and cannot be construed as legal advice, given that not enough facts are known. Any comments offered on Avvo are of a general nature only, and are not meant to create an attorney-client relationship. If you would like additional information based on this response, please contact my office at 510 657 7665 or 415 902 0832 to schedule a consultation.
The PERM process has stared some time ago .. what I meant is that the I-485 has just been filed. I'd like to know what happens if my wife travels while the I-485 is still pending. I'm the principal applicant, so is she required to stay in the US (without travel) until the process is completed?
I would check with your employer's immigration lawyer. Good luck to you.

Mr. Murray's response is NOT legal advice and does NOT create an attorney-client relationship. You should NOT rely on this response. Mr. Murray's response was generated without conducting a full inquiry as would occur during a face to face attorney-client consultation. It is likely that the response above may be made less accurate, or become entirely inaccurate, as you, i.e. the questioner, disclose additional facts that should only be discussed during a private consultation with an attorney. I strongly recommend that you consult an attorney who is licensed to practice law in your state (or, in the case of immigration law, and attorney in ANY state), whereupon all relevant facts will be discussed. All responses posted by Mr. Murray on Avvo.com are intended as general information for the education of the public, and not for any specific individual.
No, you need to ask for and get an advance parole and you can even accompany your wife.

Close readers know I haven't posted responses to your mailbag questions and comments in a long while. The truth is that I accessed your questions and comments this week for the first time in months. More than ever, the mailbag portal has devolved into a cesspool of rants, accusations of perceived bias and venting that don't appear to be seeking actual responses.
You're welcome to continue as such, but for the most part please know we've moved on to interacting via Twitter, SportsNation chats and occasionally Facebook and Instagram. I'll continue to check in on the mailbag periodically, but responses won't be timely.
With that said, I peeked in this week to gauge reaction to a post I figured wouldn't go over well with many people. Our NFC playoff standings*, based on an imaginary reversal of the Green Bay Packers' Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, felt to many of you like sour grapes.
Some of you noted the Seahawks arguably lost Super Bowl XL because of poor officiating. Others wondered why I didn't mention a questionable third-down pass interference call against Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor that set up the Packers' only touchdown of the game. Some asked why I haven't sided with those who argue that Seahawks receiver Golden Tate did in fact gain possession on the controversial touchdown. And a few challenged why the Seahawks were seeded eighth in the revised playoff standings, behind the Dallas Cowboys despite a Week 2 victory over that team.
In short, my feeling was that this was a singular and unique moment compared to all other officiating gaffes in NFL history. It was a game-deciding call on the final play by imposters who were asked to cover for the NFL's miscalculated labor stance.
The Chancellor call was poor, but the Seahawks had time to overcome it. As for Tate, I have written that there are conflicting rules and case studies about simultaneous possession. You can find arguments to support possession for either Tate or Packers safety M.D. Jennings if your mind is truly open to it. (And even the NFL admitted Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference on the play.)
Finally, the Seahawks are seeded eighth in the standings* because in cases of a multi-team tie for a wild-card spot, the head-to-head tiebreaker only applies "if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others," according to the NFL's tiebreaker rules. That is not the case, so conference record breaks the tie.
I will continue to post the NFC playoff standings* to track the impact of the replacement official fiasco. Hopefully, it will have none. But at the moment, three teams' playoff standings are affected.
With that said, I want to leave you with one of the more thoughtful notes I saw in the mailbag. Marc of Portland made a request that I thought was worth posting:
"We all have to demand that every game is played as fairly as possible, and that no team or a fan of that team is ever cheated by bad refs, no matter how they ended up on the field. I think they deserve to be paid what they're worth, just like the players. And just like the players who make mistakes, they deserve fines when they have a negative affect on the game.
"Maybe it's time to start a coalition among the fans to demand fair games. A coalition to record bad calls and rank the officials for ourselves. A coalition to say out with the bad ones and up with the good ones. A coalition to stick up for each other no matter what team you cheer for. And a coalition to demand that the owners never try to bite the hand that feeds them again."
I'm not sure about fines for mistakes, and I think mistakes will always occur until robots take over the job. Otherwise, though, I agree that a goal of fair officiating should transcend team allegiances. Hopefully we can all rally around that.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications »
"What is high blood pressure (hypertension)?
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, affects nearly a third of all Americans. With hypertension, too much force is exerted on the arteries as blood is pumped through. This results "...
Read the High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications article »
ZEBETA is indicated in the management of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
The dose of ZEBETA must be individualized to the needs of the patient. The usual starting dose is 5 mg once daily. In some patients, 2.5 mg may be an appropriate starting dose (see Bronchospastic Disease in WARNINGS). If the antihypertensive effect of 5 mg is inadequate, the dose may be increased to 10 mg and then, if necessary, to 20 mg once daily.
Patients With Renal Or Hepatic Impairment
In patients with hepatic impairment (hepatitis or cirrhosis) or renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance less than 40 mL/min), the initial daily dose should be 2.5 mg and caution should be used in dose-titration. Since limited data suggest that bisoprolol fumarate is not dialyzable, drug replacement is not necessary in patients undergoing dialysis.
Geriatric Patients
It is not necessary to adjust the dose in the elderly, unless there is also significant renal or hepatic dysfunction (see above and Geriatric Use in PRECAUTIONS).
Pediatric Patients
There is no pediatric experience with ZEBETA.
ZEBETA® (bisoprolol fumarate) is supplied as 5 mg and 10 mg tablets.
The 5 mg tablet is pink, heart-shaped, biconvex, film-coated, vertically scored in half on both sides, with an engraved stylized b/stylized b on one side and 6/0 on the reverse side, supplied as follows:
30 Unit-of-use NDC 51285-060-01
The 10 mg tablet is white, heart-shaped, biconvex, film-coated, with an engraved stylized b on one side and 61 on the reverse side, supplied as follows:

From 'The Sanchise' to off-the-Mark
Click on the photo to view a slide show of Mark Sanchez's brief - and turbulent - NFL career.
It is not to the point where "The Sanchise" is headed the way of "Mangenius," but New York's love affair with Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez is on the rocks.
Nineteen turnovers in 10 games, and losses in six of the past seven games, have a way of doing things like that.
The Jets traded up to draft Sanchez, of Mission Viejo, fifth overall from USC, where he left without the blessing of his coach, Pete Carroll, and a year of NCAA eligibility still on the table.
New York signed Sanchez to a five-year, $44.5 million contract that included $28 million guaranteed. First-year Jets coach Rex Ryan installed Sanchez as his starting quarterback, and New York reeled off three victories in a row to open the 2009 season.
Sanchez passed for four touchdowns and ran for a fifth as the Jets, who had faded badly with Brett Favre and Coach Eric Mangini (aka "Mangenius," since exiled to Cleveland) at the controls in 2008, looked like a team making a turnaround in victories over Houston, New England and Tennessee.
The rookie quarterback was being hailed as "The Sanchise" (like Tom Seaver was once "The Franchise" for the Mets).
Then the Jets ran into the New Orleans Saints, Sanchez threw three interceptions and lost a fumble, and – except for a one-Sunday return to victory in Oakland – the season of so much promise has turned into a disaster.
"My mistakes killed us, they absolutely killed us," Sanchez said after the New Orleans loss.
Except for a 38-0 thrashing of the Raiders that ended a three-game losing streak, Sanchez and the Jets have known only losing since, and now have another three-game losing streak. At 4-6, their playoff hopes have been all but extinguished.
Ryan is sticking by his rookie quarterback, saying he has never considered benching him for backup Kellen Clemens.
"I don't think he (Sanchez) is going to get any better sitting on the sidelines," Ryan said.
And Sanchez, who just turned 23 on Nov. 11, has really only had three truly bad games among the six losses – but they were doozies.
Add Buffalo (five interceptions) and the second New England game this past Sunday (four interceptions and a lost fumble) to the New Orleans game, and the kid from USC had 14 of his 19 turnovers in just three games.
Maybe it's the team. Favre, who looked so bad in the second half of last season while quarterbacking the Jets, is suddenly a leading MVP candidate again at age 40 with the Minnesota Vikings.

The Australian Literary Resource (http://www.austlit.edu.au/) is researching Australian Steampunk to put on a virtual exhibition and create a database on steampunk as a genre. They're interested especially in Australian authors/ works set in Australia. You can follow this on Twitter via the #Austlitsteampunk hashtag and following @AustLit.
Enjoying a real winter and selling lots of books on the weekends .Yourself ?
Hullo Professor! I hope you're keeping well.
G'day , Duke .
I helped with running the Melbourne Steampump events for a few years. If you're encouraging interstate visitors, then recommendations for close by (and inexpensive) accommodation would go down well.
For the event itself, depends on what you're going for. Limited exhibitions can be great. Burlesque is great. We had one guy demonstrate a full shave with a strait razor. Bareknuckle boxing or maybe some guys from 19th century military re-enactment might be good. If you can get yourself a Tesla Coil that would be a crowd pleaser! A good photo booth is a must too I think.
Of course a nice steampunk nightclub might be a good way to finish out the evening.
Awesome ideas! I'd love your details Ged - I think we became friends so you can message me?
That's completely understandable Professor. I was previously in the UK where there was a whole lotta Steampunk so more people to share the load :)
Thinking on it further, given both Milk Chocolate and Ice-cream were Victorian-era inventions; including those as booths would be a treat. Getting someone like Nitrogenie so you'd have liquid nitrogen created ice-cream would add a delightful mad scientist feel. That's just IMO.
People's lives are getting busier and running an event gets stressful. After three years in a row, given none of us are professional event runners and all of us have day jobs/ families, we need a break :)
That said, there's nothing stopping others from starting up another annual charity ball - we'd love to attend.
Laurel, I have had very intense experience at putting on an event here (Brisbane) which was very successful. Filled the auditorium and actually made MONEY! Four years ago now, I think it was. Prior to 'Steamfest', anyway.
I actually have a diploma in event management - which I know isn't as useful as actual (recurrent) experience, I know, but ... well, if you want to pick my brains go right ahead. Oh go on! They're not that nasty!!
Let me know if you want an email address or ph. number,
Why is it the last one?

Brehm was drawn to music and theater arts even as a child, and was singing and dancing as part of the Showstoppers group when she was just seven years old. Later, attending Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts, she concentrated on musicals. She moved to Los Angeles after graduating from college to focus on a career as a singer and actor. She found roles in several television commercials, as well as spots on the television shows That 70's Show, With a Trace, and 8 Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, among others. As a singer, Brehm concentrated on her Christian faith, and became a worship leader at New Hope Christian Fellowship. There she was scouted by Dream Records and signed to a recording contract. She began working with Rusty Varenkamp on a debut album, Reach the Sky, which appeared from Dream Records in 2012. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

the first time that the SPC was not the first obvious feature since 04/27! The cap no
longer have a well defined boundary. Why, even the whitish blue haze around the NPH
was very noticeably larger than the SPC! Since the Martian summer has just recently
started, I wonder if the intense heat from the Sun would melt the ice cap completely
thereby creating a global flash flood J. I know Mars was closer to earth on Aug 27th
than at any time in 57,000 years. So, more seriously does anyone know if Mars will be
closer to the Sun than at any time in 57,000 years? Or perhaps the cap will get too
small to be resolved by small aperture telescopes like my 4-incher?
With no filter, #80A, Baader Moon & Skyglow filter and #38 filter, I
noticed the
following rim was very noticeably darker (dark blue in fact) than the preceding rim.
This would indicate the start of the phase in the following rim. Neat! Just like our
Moon. My Light Cup curiously wondered why no observers of the past centuries ever
called it "Gibbous Mars", "Full Mars" and "New Mars" J.
