MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins stuffed equipment bags and suitcases to their brims, preparing for two full weeks on the road and a defining stretch of this so-far successful season.
Before they left, they crossed one more item off the list -- another victory against the lifeless Oakland Athletics.
Mike Redmond drove in two runs and the Twins survived some wildness by Francisco Liriano to beat the A's 3-1 on Wednesday and send them to an Oakland-record 11th consecutive series defeat.
The last time the A's lost 11 series in a row was 1960, when they played in Kansas City.
"It seems like when we're down, we're really down," Oakland's Emil Brown said. "It's not because of lack of effort. I can't really find the words to describe it."
The Twins won their 11th consecutive home series, improving to 30-9 at the Metrodome since June 1 in their last home game until Sept. 5. They play 14 straight on the road, the longest trip the team has had since 1969. Beginning Thursday against the AL West-leading Los Angeles Angels, only six of the next 30 games are in Minnesota.
"At the end, it's 81 and 81," closer Joe Nathan said. "This is just a longer stretch of it. I don't think anybody's concerned too much about it. Most of the talk here in the clubhouse was just making sure we had enough underwear."
The Twins, who are 26-31 on the road this year, are one game behind the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central.
"Just got to keep playing," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We can't control what they do until we see 'em at the end."
Liriano (4-3) was still strong enough to win with five innings against the A's, who are 6-25 since the All-Star break. The only run he allowed was unearned, caused by an error on sure-fielding second baseman Nick Punto when he suddenly couldn't find a groundball hit right to him by Mark Ellis to start the game.
Punto later stopped a two-out rolling single by Jack Cust with a dive that took him into shallow center field, but he didn't have time for a strong throw and Ellis scored easily.
Though he lowered his ERA this month to 1.14, Liriano was not sharp -- rushing his delivery toward the plate and failing to find the right motion. He threw a season-high 107 pitches, only 64 of them for strikes. He gave up five hits, walked three and struck out five against a lagging Oakland lineup batting .215 in the second half.
"I just couldn't find my spots outside," Liriano said. "It's just one of those days."
The A's were held to one run or less for the 34th time this year, more than a quarter of their games. They are averaging only 2.71 runs per game since the break.
"We really had some chances and hit the ball," manager Bob Geren said. "Just couldn't get the breaks."
Oakland starter Dallas Braden (3-3) actually outpitched Liriano, but with little support he couldn't overcome a pair of two-out RBI singles -- to Justin Morneau in the first inning and Redmond in the third. Giving regular catcher Joe Mauer a break for the afternoon, Redmond also drove in Punto with a base hit off Braden that made it 3-1 in the sixth.
Making his sixth start after some time in the bullpen and Triple A, Braden threw a season-high 102 pitches but struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings. He allowed six hits and walked three.
"Any time they land, it doesn't matter if you made a good pitch or not," said Braden, who allowed two bunt hits. "It wasn't the right pitch. I'm not happy. We lost."
The Twins have overexposed their bullpen lately, but Boof Bonser gave them a big lift with two hitless innings in relief of Liriano. The right-hander, bumped from the rotation in May, had struggled before a recent stretch of effectiveness.
Dennys Reyes walked Cust to start the eighth, but Jesse Crain retired the next three. Nathan worked the ninth for his 34th save, and the Twins walked off winners for the sixth time in seven games -- finishing the homestand at 7-2.
And off they went.
"We have to monkey it up and find a way to win baseball games," Gardenhire said.
- The Twins activated 2B Alexi Casilla from the DL after the game and outrighted RHP Brian Bass to Triple-A.
- The A's plan to skip Sean Gallagher's next start, and probably Justin Duchscherer's, too.
- Bonser had a 8.74 ERA in his first 14 relief appearances, but in six games since his ERA is 2.89 -- three earned runs in 9 1/3 innings. "Hopefully that will carry and bode well as we go along here," Gardenhire said. "We're going to need him."
- The A's have lost 11 of their past 13 at the Metrodome.
- Reyes faced only one batter for the 17th time this season
- Cust struck out twice and leads the AL with 158.

New Estimates of State and Local Government Tangible Capital and Net Investment
Measures of the state and local government capital stock and investment are necessary inputs into several areas of economic analysis, including the measurement of national wealth and its growth. We estimate net investment and depreciation of state and local government nonresidential capital. In aggregate, we estimate a net state and local nonresidential capital stock of $1.8 trillion in 1985, 17% larger than that estimated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Net state and local government investment has exceeded the state and local deficit annually for the last forty-five years. While the fraction of state and local purchase of goods and services devoted to net investment has fallen, it has exceeded federal government net capital formation except during defense buildups and has averaged more than 40% of private fixed nonresidential net investment since 1951. Similar comparisons reveal that the state and local government net capital stock substantially exceeds state and local debt, and is about twice the federal government capital stock.

Sand sifting star curling?
Hey guys, I read all your posts... I hope you guys can help me. got a sand sifting star 2 days ago. I got home today and noticed his limbs were curling at the tips and his body was raised off of the sand?
do you guys know why he is doing that?
how deep is your sand bed and how long has the tank been established for, how big is your tank and how big is the starfish?
only thing i can think of is that there is not a big enough food supply.
do you mean just barely curled up at the tips? Mine does that anytime it moves, I think it keeps the tips up so it can feel a ledge or rock as it gets closer to know the angle. Other than that he is almost always in the sand.
i have a 72g bow. its a few months old and he stays on top of the sand and rarely moves.

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: Firefox/3.5.5 and Firefox/3.6
This has been a mysterious problem which has been plaguing my plug-in on Macbooks and Macbook Pros ever since the release of Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.0.
I use nsIWifiMonitor in my extension to allow the plug-in to identify when the user returns home.
After an extended period of use, if and only if I am using WiFi with my extension enabled, the machine enters a state where any application attempting to open a new network socket deadlocks (beachballs) to a halt. Force-Quit does not even work in this state (and I have to reboot by holding the power button). This ONLY happens when Firefox is running and when my plug-in is loaded with Wifi scanning turned on.
The problem feels like a race condition, and thus is not directly (deterministically) reproducible using a sequence of steps.
BUT, it occurs reliably, usually 3-5 times during a 12 hour period. I have isolated the fault to Firefox and the wifi monitor by carefully trying completely separate machines (including a brand new Macbook Pro without any preinstalled software from the store).
It seems "wrong" that a bug in Firefox could cause the whole machine to freeze. Thus I think it's an interaction between Firefox and a bug in snow leopard that is violating process isolation. It "feels" like Firefox (or something) is not successfully leaving a critical section of code pertaining to the network (sys call?) which, when other apps try to call, they end up queuing up resulting in a deadlock
To reproduce:
Get a Macbook or Macbook Pro running 10.6.0 or newer
Set up an extension with an nsIWifiMonitor scanning.
Use actively for a few hours.
Please advise.
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:

Sounds like something is leaking processes or sockets or some other such kernel resource...
The relevant 10.6 code seems to be http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/wifi/src/osx_corewlan.mm#60 for what it's worth. My objc is not good enough to see if there's an obvious issue there.
That code leaks just about everything and apparently both I reviewed it at one point. I can only assume I totally forgot to look at the file, ew.
Yes, it creates an autorelease pool without releasing it :-)
Created attachment 429156 [details] [diff] [review]
fix v1.0
We don't release the autorelease pool or the bundle.
I suggest we block on 1.9.1, 1.9.2, and 1.9.3. This is bad.
Created attachment 429171 [details] [diff] [review]
fix v1.1
This is a more paranoid patch which should release the pool even if the main corewlan code throws an exceptions.
Comment on attachment 429171 [details] [diff] [review]
fix v1.1
Yes, this is better.
pushed to mozilla-central
Reporter - thanks for the great bug report. I'm really glad we caught this.
Can you confirm that my patch here fixes the problem? The fix will be in tomorrow's trunk (Minefield) nightly build. Leaving this bug open until the reporter confirms the fix.
Wow, thanks for the speedy response and fix. I will test it tomorrow (Saturday my time) and get back to you all. Testing will probably take 24-48 hours since it normally takes a couple hours to reproduce.
Anyway thanks everyone and will be shortly in touch ~
Not going to "block" on it, but do want the patch once you've proved it fixes the problem. Ask for branch approval when you're ready.

fix v1.1
Necko review: there's no network logic changed by this patch, just obj memory management, so +r
I need a bit of clarification on which build(s) have this patch (sorry! I'm not an expert on your nightly-build process).
Minefield (3.7a2) for OS X seems to work without crashing. So if this is the version that has the patches described in this thread, then it looks like it fixed it!
Nightly releases of 3.62 (Namoroka for OS X) candidates seem to still exhibit the crashing bug (the last one I downloaded was from 4am March 2) and it's locked up my machine twice. Does this tree not have the fix yet?
Please lmk.
The 3.7a2 builds are the ones that have this patch, yes. Resolving fixed based on comment 14. Thanks for testing those builds!
The 3.6.x builds don't have this fix yet; the fix needs to be approved for that branch first. Josh, do you want to ask for approvals?
Reporter - can you post a stack trace or a crash report ID for a crash from this bug? I'd like to see what it looks like so I can see if it shows up in our crash reports database.
Hi Josh,
It is rare that it results in a Firefox crash; it usually results in a "beach-ball" (colourwheel) hang of the whole system requiring me to hard-restart (it does not even respond to force-quits!)
Do you know how I might get a stack trace in that condition? Is there a kernel-hotkey for example? (Would it even be relevant if I could get one?)
Yikes. Don't worry about the stack, thanks.
(In reply to comment #6)
> I suggest we block on 1.9.1, 1.9.2, and 1.9.3. This is bad.
Did you mean to request approval188.8.131.52? on attachment 429171 [details] [diff] [review] as well, do you need a different 1.9.1 patch, or did this turn out to be less bad than you thought on that branch?
Roughly 3x more 3.5.x users than 3.6.x at the moment (of course that will change once we start serving the upgrade prompt, but 1.9.1 will still have lot of users). If "this is bad" don't we want it fixed?

I do want this fixed in 1.9.1 but we need a new patch there.

Can you try reproducing the problem with our release candidates for Firefox 3.5.9 and 3.6.2?
You can get the 3.6.2 beta at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6.2-candidates/build3/mac/en-US/.
You can get the 3.5.9 beta at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.5.9-candidates/build1/mac/en-US/.
Ok! I will test it using the above betas myself and will also get my Mac-equipped students at MIT to run the betas on their machines. Since reproducing the bug takes time, I will get back to you in 48 or so hours.

Pictures of Bridgend
in the county of Bridgend
About Bridgend
Above the town, a wooded hill shows the remains of an old Norman castle, this echoes the drama of the region in early times when because of constant raiders there was the need to build fortifications.
In more recent times, coal played an important part in the life of the town. In the 17th century the valley's north of the town opened up coal mines, with the Llynfi valley being the first. Iron works and Brickworks were also established in the region, but throughout Bridgend retained its identity as a market town with no coal fields of its own.
During the World War II Bridgend had an important munitions factory and a Prisoner of War Camp. Unlike its near neighbours of Swansea and Cardiff, the town was never blitzed. Following the war years, the town grew at a rapid pace, factories set up and new housing developed. It also became the headquarters for the South Wales Police. Later, Margaret Thatcher's government was to lead to a period of social unrest and the closure of the valley's mines.
Today, the town remains a popular gathering place on market days, it also acts as a base for people wishing to discover hidden valley's and the counties beautiful heritage coast which is backed by high hills with stunning sea and coastal views. There are many charming little bays offering excellent sailing and good opportunities for surfing. Bridgend offers the unique experience of a lovely Welsh market town combined with valley landscapes, a golden coast, and a wealth of visitor attractions.

text: BioShock Infinite's 'Sky-Line' Combat Explained By Ken LevineMichael McWhertor9/22/10 10:00pmFiled to: Irrational GamesBioshock infiniteken levine2K GamesPS3PCXbox 360255EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink If you watched the ten minute-long dose of BioShock Infinite gameplay, you might have wondered how the rollercoaster-in-the-sky action sequences were going to work, what those tracks were for and how BioShock creative director Ken Levine might describe them. Wonder no more! Those motion sickness inspiring moments are fully playable and seemingly a key component of BioShock Infinite's gameplay. "Imagine being on a roller coaster, over another roller coaster, over another roller coaster," Levine tells the official PlayStation blog. "Imagine being able to jump freely from one roller coaster to the next. Then imagine people are shooting at you. And you're shooting at them. That's the experience of being on the Sky-Lines." Advertisement Advertisement I'm queasy already. But Ken continues."You might choose to take on enemies at extremely long range while traveling on Sky-Lines, or you might engage in close combat," he says. "You might do both in quick succession. You can jump between criss-crossing Sky-Line routes, allowing you to instantly change direction and evade or outflank enemies. Sky-Lines are there to expand your tactical options, not dictate them."Sounds crazy, complicated and maybe a little bit fun too. We're still at least 14 months away from the arrival of the next big BioShock, so the soothing, informative sounds of Ken Levine speaking will have to do for now.

Top Picks : News Capsule , 2013 Current Affairs , July 2013 Current Affairs , Report | Survey
Ghaziabad and Allahabad emerged as the two most air polluted cities in Uttar Pradesh according to a recent survey conducted by a research and advocacy organization called CSE. The report of the survey was released on 2 July 2013. The survey conducted by Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) found pollutants of the size of 10 micron in Ghaziabad, Allahabad, Kanpur and Bareilly, which was four times the acceptable size of particulates in urban areas.
It also found air pollution levels three times more than the prescribed limits in Lucknow, Firozabad, Agra, Mathura, Khurja, Saharanpur, Moradabad and Gajraula.
The air quality in Unnao, however, has come out as the cleanest despite a heavy presence of tanneries in the town. The amount of nitrogen-dioxide is found to be increasing dangerously in Meerut, Gorakhpur, Ghaziabad and Kanpur.
It is highest in Meerut and lowest in Rae Bareilly, the survey said. Sulphur-dioxide has been found mixed in the air at dangerous levels in Khurja and Ghaziabad. The presence of multi-pollutants has been found in cities like Mathura, Khurja and Ghaziabad. The study also revealed that in most cities, the manifold increase in the number of vehicles emerged as the leading source of pollution.
In the state capital Lucknow, Vikasnagar, Chowk, Amausi and Charbagh localities have been found to be pollution hot spots. CSE stated that serious and sustained efforts are needed to minimize the air pollution in these areas of the city.
It added that the growing use of diesel was a major contributor to the growing air pollution levels. CSE also said that emissions were leading to serious ailments and diseases like cancer and besides all, poor traffic management and growing number of vehicles are also adding to the scourge.
What: emerged as the two most air polluted cities in Uttar Pradesh.
When: 2 July 2013.

Burgundy bronze foliage creates an illuminating backdrop for the blue flowering spikes that appear in spring. Ajuga Bronze Beauty does well in tubs and mixed containers as well as in rock gardens and borders.
Ajuga are extremely hardy groundcovers that quickly form a dense carpet-like mat. Our plant spacing recommendations are based on how quickly these plants will spread in their first season of growth.
Ajuga with their lush waxy leaves and vibrant blooms resemble a colorful carpet spread across the landscape. Will adapt to a wide variety of conditions except extremely wet.
If desired, spent flowers may be removed with hedge shears or a string trimmer for larger areas. Divide existing patches into individual rosettes in spring if clumps become overcrowded. To divide, separate rooted stems or take root cuttings in early summer.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

How quaint and yet somehow uplifting of Mark Boyle, the self-styled 'peace pilgrim', to simply give up. His plan, you may remember, was to walk from Bristol to India relying solely on the kindness of strangers - right up until the moment he arrived in Calais, discovered no one spoke English, and caught the next ferry home.
A round of applause, then, for Mr Boyle. For giving up in the face of adversity, for not soldiering on, for not maintaining a stiff upper lip, and for not struggling through despite the insurmountable odds. How refreshing to find a quitter in an age when, if you're told you have a life-threatening illness, it's almost obligatory to make plans to conquer Everest without supplemental oxygen or cycle across the States on your one remaining leg.
You can barely open a newspaper without finding a courageous, inspirational tale undertaken by a courageous, inspirational individual, but still, sometimes it might be nice to hear about the people with life-threatening illnesses and one leg who decide to stay at home and sit on the sofa.
Folk like Mark Boyle. Who issued press releases, set up a website, left his job, said goodbye to family and friends - the kinds of actions that are usually perceived as irreversible as a toasted teacake passing down a digestive tract. Although he noted in his blog that he didn't 'receive half the attention when I set off or when everything was going amazingly well... but then, once you stumble they pounce like vultures who smell blood!'
Well, yes and no. We did, as a nation, stop for a bit of a gloat. But only because his behaviour expressed a universal aspect of our humanity. Two months into a new year, our resolutions having fallen away like so many bad debts, and most of us, despite our lack of life-threatening illnesses and possession of two legs, are not climbing Everest or cycling across the States. We're just getting by, when we're not messing things up completely, although when I say 'we' here, perhaps I mean 'me'.
I don't like to boast, but failure has its own charms. The First World War would have been over by Christmas. Everest would be an inspiring symbol of nature's majesty rather than a testing ground for men in the throes of a mid-life crisis, and after the first week of statue cheering and statue toppling, George Bush would have decided occupation looked like a bit of an uphill struggle and brought the boys back home.
Because persevering against all odds is sometimes just another word for egomania. And this can be a useful trait - thank you, Alexander Fleming! - but who watched Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman moaning about biking across Africa without wishing that they'd just shut up and go home? Ranulph Fiennes would still have his fingers if he'd decided that the Antarctic was a bit chilly, Mrs Fossett wouldn't be facing life as a widow, and Jane McDonald would have accepted the obvious, given up the singing, and got a job at Tesco.
These days life resembles a Barbara Taylor Bradford novel, with every one of us expected to go from rags to riches with or without getting knocked up with the squire's illegitimate bastard and sustaining a bout
of scarlet fever along the way. Our expectations of what life has to offer have succumbed to the narrative demands of prime-time entertainment, in which, from The X Factor to Masterchef, you must be prepared to sacrifice everything - career, self-respect, dignity - in order to pursue success.
Which is strange. Life's winners generally being life's unutterably smug bastards. Whose Christmas parties you never feel like going to; whose £2m houses you'd rather not hear about. Failing is what makes us feel human. Princess Diana the bulimic divorcee with disastrous taste in men was so much more compelling than Shy Di the Virgin Bride, and the sooner Prince Harry wakes up from his gap year in Afghanistan and realises what we want is pictures of him falling off his tank and shooting himself in the foot, the better. Lose and the world loses with you, Harry. Just ask Mark Boyle.

3. As Magento's standard one page checkout uses AJAX to load each section the whole checkout process is seen as just 1 page by analytics meaning you are unable to tell whether your users are dropping out at the login/register stage or are having problems with the payment information. The following article will explain how to make the necessary changes to your Magento installation to track this.
The key to seeing the different steps in your checkout is ensuring a page view is triggered each time one of the sections of the checkout is loaded. To do this we need to edit [url removed, login to view] this file should be in \skin\frontend\default\YOURTHEME\js if not then copy it there from \skin\frontend\base\default\js
Within this file search for "gotoSection: function(section)" to find the function we are interested in amending and add in the lines of code shown below.

A&E has picked up four new unscripted series and four pilots for the 2014-15 season.
Here are descriptions of the upcoming shows:
New series
"Dogs of War" (fall 2014): "Dogs of War" documents Jim and Lindsey Stanek, a married couple who started a nonprofit organization called Paws and Stripes, benefiting PTSD veterans paired with adopted dogs who help them adjust back to regular life after returning home from war. Each episode will feature the story of one or two veterans as they get matched with a potentially life-saving best friend and begin their journey out of darkness.
"Godfather of Pittsburgh" (fall 2014): Pittsburgh is a town ruled by Vince Isolde, a first-generation Italian American, who has built an empire of nightclubs and restaurants all in hopes of supporting his family. But getting to the top means making a lot of enemies and some of them are kin. While Vince is one of the most revered — and feared — men in the city, all bets are off when he comes home. Between his wife and sons, and his six brothers and sisters, the entire family relies on Vince for jobs, houses and everything in between.
"Love Prison" (working title; summer 2014): One in three relationships begin online, with many people not meeting in person for months or even years. But are these relationships real? In this unique social experiment, online couples meet for the first time on a remote island. "Love Prison" is a lone cabin rigged with fixed cameras; there are no visible producers, no visible cameramen and no escape! Cameras capture the couple for a week, with an all-access look at everything from their first kiss to their first fight. Each couple spend their week together determining whether or not the person they know online matches up with reality and if they want to continue their relationship or move on.
"Lone Star Lady" (working title; summer 2014): Rochelle is a full-time football mom in Johnson City, Texas, whose family struck oil a few years ago. She once lived in a trailer, so this unapologetic, outspoken and hilarious Queen Bee is determined to keep her house full of boys humble. While the family now enjoys life's little luxuries like new cars and family trips, they still live in a simple ranch house next to land that Rochelle's family has owned for more than 100 years. Despite their newfound wealth, the family keeps busy carting the boys to football practice, dealing with large cell phone bills, teen sexting and squeezing in a rare date night. But Rochelle excels in extreme parenting; her motto is to get her four sons "out of the house without being fathers or felons," and she will do whatever it takes.
"8 Minutes": Each year 100,000 young women are forced into prostitution. Most will never escape. This fact put Kevin Brown and Greg Reese on a mission, and it's one of the most dangerous, voyeuristic missions in the country. The former police officers' organization, Safe Passage, helps save teenage girls from lives of sexual servitude. In each episode, the organization will make contact with a girl who is "in the life" and go undercover enabling hidden cameras to capture their operation. But they only have 8 minutes to complete the extraction — the amount of time the team safely has to convince the girl to leave with them and start a new life. The stakes are high as the threat of violence looms large.
"Big Brew Theory": Four quirky and highly intelligent MIT grad students who have pooled their life savings to achieve their dream of creating a home grown micro-brewery team up with a beautiful MIT undergrad to launch their business. Mark Wahlberg is an executive producer.
"Nightwatch": "Nightwatch" follows the dangerous and hectic stretch between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. when emergency responders in New Orleans come across the most unnerving cases. Cameras have unlimited access to the city's Fire Department and EMS Unit. Those who cover the night shift battle time and circumstance to save lives while they try to keep their own personal lives and relationships in order.
"The Unproduceables": "The Unproduceables" will follow the behind-the-scenes trials and tribulations of producer Mark Efman as he works with a cast of senior citizens in an attempt to create a reality series focusing on the intertwined lives at a Florida retirement center. Despite cranky attitudes, odd schedules and seemingly frivolous interpersonal problems among residents, Mark is determined to make the best show possible.

Dr. Jess E. Mendenhall, optometrist and owner of Precision Vision, has always wanted to come back to Utah County where he was born and raised. He grew up in Springville, and moved to Spanish Fork soon after he got married while he was attending BYU. After he graduated, he continued his education at the University of Houston in the Optometry program. Once he graduated from the University of Houston he went on to the Army, where he served on active duty for 4 years until transitioning into the Army Reserves to pursue his goal of establishing a friendly and service centered eye care facility. In 2012 he and his family moved back to Utah County where he opened up his own practice in Spanish Fork.Read more

Listen carefully and it is possible to hear football's tectonic plates shifting. The word is that Greg Dyke's much-derided Football Association Commission will report in early April, assuming Mars is in alignment with Venus and the appropriate forms have been completed in triplicate.
Radical thought and decisive action would be out of character for an organisation so risk-averse that they employ unfeasibly expensive management consultants to ask perfectly obvious questions about the future of English football.
But if Dyke's initiative is to prove relevant, reaching the following conclusions would help to avoid the traditional critical mauling.
Scrap the Under-21 League
This will dent the Premier League's corporate ego, because the Under-21 competition forms part of their £340 million Elite Player Performance Plan, but the problems of transition, facing players aged between 18 and 21, are becoming critical.
Clubs, managers and coaches are in open revolt, arguing that so-called development football lacks the intensity and authenticity of the real thing. Some want to re-establish a Reserve League, in which young players are schooled by senior pros. Others want to make more profound changes.
Show them the money
One committee member has brutal clarity on the central issue: "The way to get things done in the Football League is through money. The Premier League have the money to get what they want." The bigger picture involves sustainable short-term sacrifice for a longer-term goal.
Despite its lofty pretensions, EPPP is based on greed: the biggest clubs accumulate the best young players for the lowest possible price. This must be revised for other changes to be sanctioned.
An increase in compensation fees, to £40,000 for each year a boy has been nurtured at another club's academy between the ages of nine and 16, would do the trick.
Feeder clubs: the payback
Brace yourself. The clamour for feeder clubs in the lower divisions is growing to the point of irresistibility. The weakness of the Football League's leadership will result in one of the most fundamental cultural shifts in the game since the abolition of the maximum wage.
The system already operates implicitly: Swindon Town's links with Tottenham are increasingly indivisible. Progressive League One clubs, like Brentford and MK Dons, are highly regarded by the likes of Liverpool and Everton for the quality of coaching and intensive feedback that their loanees receive.
Outlaw loans in Premier League
The current system emphasises the inherent inequalities of the Premier League. The case of Ryan Bertrand, farmed out to Aston Villa by Chelsea, underlines the trend for secondary clubs, whose ambitions begin and end with the avoidance of relegation, to be regarded as finishing schools or shop windows for the elite.
Tactical loans are in vogue, encouraged by agreements, tacit or contractual, that a loanee will not play against his parent club. It is uncompetitive, essentially unfair.
Romelu Lukaku, for instance, will have maximum opportunity to damage Chelsea's rivals before the end of the season without discomfiting John Terry & Co.
Reinvent youth football as a summer game
Mid-winter football on primeval parkland swamps encourages disillusion, even on the rare occasions local councils deem their pitches fit for play. With the grassroots game trapped in a cycle of decline, a radical approach is essential.
The FA should reschedule the youth football season between April and October. This will enable young players to develop technically on better surfaces, and provide a better environment for measured coaching. The accent would be on education and enjoyment, not endurance.
Insist on young players signing a social contract
Model professionals like Frank Lampard share the consensual view that emerging players are over-indulged, and under-appreciative of the opportunities presented to them. Old-school traditions, such as boot cleaning and dressing-room domesticity, represent a rite of passage which breeds respect.
There is a broader context to the need for self-discipline, however. All players offered a scholarship at 16 should be contractually committed to working, for at least one day a week, in a club-run community scheme. Exposure to social and economic reality will help to redress the sense of entitlement which defines the modern prospect.
Pressurise the politicians to tighten work permits
Quotas to stem the flow of mediocre foreign imports would be ideal but remain impractical. The FA must continue to seek to operate proactively with the Home Office to revise current legislation dealing with players from outside the European Union.
Admitting players from the top 30 ranked nations, rather than the top 70, would tighten the process, as would an edict that they should have featured in 90 per cent of full international squads over a minimum two seasons prior to an application. Permits should be granted for two years instead of three.
And finally... restructure the Football Association
This is where the fun would really start. The FA cannot campaign for far-reaching change without fundamentally changing themselves.
All senior employees, from Alex Horne, the ludicrously overpaid general secretary, downwards should be obliged to re-apply for their jobs as part of a transparent restructuring process.
The regional associations and the FA Council should be given no option but to end decades of resistance and prevarication. They must be streamlined as a matter of urgency.
Handing over disciplinary cases to an independent body would also enable the FA to be a more effectively focused organisation.

Well, when I grow up I hope to be a serious contender in the Legion of Doom... yeah, that's right, I have plans for the Hall of Doom.. and it involves Japanese themed wall motifs and Gothic style furniture.
I am extremely nerdy and a complete dork of sorts. I know only about useless information that will serve me none in the world today other than getting the occasional Jeopardy question correct.
I am too shy to really make any new friends, or even do well in a work force of any kind, which pretty much explains why I am single with one friend and constantly unemployed.
When I am not working my ass off as a hostess I am wasting precious time watching Battlestar Galactica on Netflix or messing around in Photoshop.
But if I could have my way I would move to Britain and become a Tudor historian... unfortunately the money and transportation to do so eludes me.
What can I say... it's hard out there for someone who's role-models growing up consisted of Darlene from Roseanne, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark and Lydia from Beetlejuice.
I have come up with a style of Photoshopping historical paintings that has seemed to make me a bit of an individual, on deviantart that is... not in the real world of course.
I guess if I have to summarize it some of my favorite movies would be pretty much anything by Neil Jordan, Danny Boyle, Tim Burton, Guy Ritchie... I am also a sucker for period pieces/historical films and romances.. guess it's just the girl in me, LOL!
28 Days Later, Heavenly Creatures, Disco Pigs, Elizabeth, Scream, SLC Punk, Mary Reilly, Breakfast On Pluto, Resident Evil, the Fifth Element, Amelie, Shaun of the Dead, Hedwig and the Angry Inch... and many many more...
TV Shows:
Deadwood, Carnivale, Buffy, Doctor Who, Tru Calling, Hell's Kitchen, Lost, Supernatural...
With favorite books, well I like Anne Rice, Edgar Allan Poe, Sherlock Holmes and I do like to read the occasional comic book, Batman, Sin City, anything by Alan Moore. I also like to read about history a lot, mostly Tudor/Elizabethan history or about the American/French Revolution.
And as far as music goes I will listen to anything really, not too fond of rap or country (although some rap is starting to grow on me)... and I haven't listened to the radio or watched a music video in so many years it's crazy!
Alanis Morissette, KidneyThieves, Pink, Regina Spektor, Fiona Apple, NIN, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, David Bowie, Massive Attack... and so on and so forth...
Food, well I will eat pretty much anything except mayonnaise and baby animals... seriously people, just let the baby cows grow up and moo while eating lots of grass... then you can kill them Temple Grandin style and I will eat them.

Editorial: GM drives image of management into ditch
Vice President Joe Biden, not known for his way with words, summed up the case for re-electing Barack Obama in simple terms: "Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive."
In Iraq, Americans are rediscovering that bin Laden's death may have been necessary to protect our interests, but it wasn't sufficient. We're also realizing just how awful General Motors' second lease on life has been.
From its costly bailout to its scandalous, sweeping recalls, GM has disgraced itself – and the administration that presided over it all. The details emerging now present Americans with a portrait of crony corporatism at its worst: Not simply a moral problem, the rot at GM betokens an economic death sentence.
Ironically, since filing for bankruptcy five years ago, GM has raked in $22.6 billion in profits, while taxpayers lost about half that sum on the bailout deal. Yet GM's long-suppressed ignition-switch problems will erase its first-quarter profits this year, with more losses to come as legal costs, fines and damages mount.
Those penalties will reinforce a growing sense that the biggest corporations dominating American life are willing to set dangerously low standards and simply risk paying the price when their misconduct blows up in their faces. Toyota, for instance, coughed up $66 million from 2010-12 for various safety failures.
GM's culture of deceitfully shielding the corporation also brings potentially much larger hidden costs. Recalls trigger an immense waste of time and energy. Recalls based on huge mistakes concealed from shareholder and taxpayer scrutiny erode trust and confidence in both the market and the government.
It's appropriate that the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hauled in GM chief Mary Barra for a two-and-a-half hour grilling. Sadly, her testimony amounted to an admission that the fundamental problem at GM isn't shoddy craftsmanship or cash flow. Ms. Barra fessed up to a "pattern of incompetence and neglect" at the company.
Even that verdict, however, fails to lay responsibility where it belongs – at the top. As the full story on GM's anti-whistleblower mentality reveals, it's not just the big corporation's unwieldy and complacent bureaucracy that's to blame. It's the individuals employed to manage that bureaucracy, and the living, breathing human beings within it.
From the auto industry to the financial industry and beyond, the very idea of management has been cheapened and corrupted at the highest level of American economic life. Were that not the case, many Americans wouldn't be nearly so bothered by big CEO salaries and lavish lifestyles. And unless that rotten culture changes fast, the economic stagnation it brings about will fuel a full-blown populist revolt against the management class.

As the author one of the (three!) books on hellebores (of all things!) I
agree that the geranium field is not fully covered but Diana Miller's
recent botanical work on the genus Pelargonium is outstanding.
It so happens that I work occasionally as consultant to a British publisher
of gardening books - with a book on geraniums on the way: 1000 Pelargoniums
by Hazel Key should be out in the UK in June and in the USA in July - it
has 1000 colour pictures! But what specific group of geraniums still need
coverage - apart from Angels? Coloured-leaved types perhaps?

This review is from: Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage USB Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset
Pros: As with most Sound Blaster products, you get an excellent sound profile and quality.
Cons: Weak design allows for faster then average physical damage to occur where the ear pieces attach to the metal band. Detachable microphone is not as easy to re-install as it looks. Cord provided is short and not very flexible.
Other Thoughts: I had this headset for just over a year before I had to replace it. The plastic pieces holding the ear phones to the headband were cracked all the way through producing a very loose fit.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Compact size even for a small 12 x 9 room. Decent power with variable controls. Crossover connectibility.
Cons: Only a single pre-out connector as opposed to a dual.
Other Thoughts: Bought this to enhance my very small 7.1 surround entertainment room. It has delivered far more then I had envisioned.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound, Wireless Headphones with Microphone
Pros: Excellent sound quality and comfort. Solid design with a microphone boom that automatically mutes when raised in the "up" position. Great range when compared to Comparable wireless headsets.
Cons: Battery life seems to go by quickly when actively playing games with ongoing voice chat.
Other Thoughts: I bought this headset originally for my 18 year old son. He put it through it paces in all manner of Steam games and MMO's. It held together physically with no signs of wear after 9 months straight. I was so impressed, I bought one for myself.READ FULL REVIEW
