Will Nicoll is a British writer and journalist, who has been shortlisted twice for the Shiva Naipaul Memorial Prize. This is an extract from a longer essay, which was published by 'The Los Angeles Review of Books'
Bristo Square is a vast Gothic courtyard outside Edinburgh University, adorned with dark granite gargoyles. It's night-time, and the thoroughfare between the buildings is busy. Three young women in stilettos and white suede cowboy hats, trimmed with pink fur, stumble past; unnoticed, street people criss-cross the revellers. Some are young refugees, care leavers or migrant workers; many are gnarled old rough sleepers, who carry their belongings in plastic bags. A few scream abuse at passing students, but most walk on, fearful and quiet, with their eyes fixed on the buildings ahead. All belong to a silent underclass who exist quietly and painfully in every city.
There are an estimated 1,700 rough sleepers in Scotland. Edinburgh, with more than 360, is their capital.
As the sun falls behind the mosque's turquoise dome, the street people make their way towards Magdalene House – a soup kitchen known by only the destitute. As I push open the heavy wooden door, with its weary hinges and reinforced glass panels, I smell tonic wine, lentil soup, and turpentine. It's being redecorated, and the pine panels on the walls have peeled, revealing craters of pastel-pink paint.
Inside, there are men with thick, dark beards and beetroot-red faces, and men who are jaundiced and yellow, with wide, bloodshot eyes and lank, thinning hair. There are atrophied soldiers – drunk on white spirit – and old sea captains, who wear their war wounds like ghost stories. Some scowl, or shudder, as they pick tobacco flakes from their gold-capped teeth; others flinch like mice caught near the tracks of a runaway freight train, as the night air fills the room.
"We used to get them, back when they were on the methylated spirits," a woman says, as she dispenses soup from behind the serving counter. She glances at me and smiles as she butters bread. "Now it's white cider. It's the same thing if you ask me."
I sit at a table beside John – a musician who has just returned to Scotland from America. He tells me about touring Europe with a band and about his psychiatrist in Massachusetts. Simon sits beside him. He is very young, and wears a torn polyester jacket, which is zipped to his chin. He stares past me, to a frieze of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, as he pulls apart Empire biscuits and arranges the glacé cherries in glossy patterns on his tray.
Archie is a recovering alcoholic in his late forties. He wears an immaculate pale blue shirt with a cutaway collar – donated by the Sue Ryder charity, he tells me, "but originally designed by Tom Ford". The table becomes quiet as he begins to talk about his drinking, and the incarceration that always followed.
"I didn't know about work," Archie says, through genuine bewilderment, rather than by way of excuse. "I thought that when you hit a certain age, you went and stood in the pub. You all just stood in the pub with your mates. And the very few times you weren't there, you were talking about what it was like being there. Or you were looking for a reason to go."
For a moment, Archie squares his broad shoulders and feigns aggression. John says nothing; Simon wheezes, as his eyelids close, and he inhales butane gas through the sleeve of his shirt. Slowly, his eyelids flutter, and his fingers begin to wriggle in the pockets of his coat.
"I never had a good start in life, going in and out of kiddies' homes," Archie continues. "In fact, I'll tell you this," he says, "I've seen a hell of a sight more violence in kiddies' homes than I ever have in prisons. And I've been on landings with lifers." Suddenly, he stands up, and his chair falls backward, screeching as it hits the floor. Addiction marks people with all the force of a hatchet, or a sculptor's chisel; it carves contours in haunted faces, and tears seams in weathered skin. The men who come to Magdalene House have little interest in food, or warmth or company. They are weary, tortured, ghosts of people – with bodies contorted by imperceptible pain.
When I walk across Edinburgh to meet Archie's friend Jack, work on the skyline has stalled. At the top of Leith Walk, they've torn down the tenements, and the abandoned diggers and cement mixers look other-worldly. A rusted wrecking ball swings like a bauble above a chasm in the city where a thousand people used to live and breathe.
Greenside Place is a stretch of grubby pavement in front of a quiet cinema complex beside one of central Edinburgh's busiest roundabouts. As I traipse up Leith Walk, my eyes grow used to the darkness – and I can make out the street people, who seem drawn like ragged moths to the light.
Jack is a gentle older man with shorn gray hair and intense blue eyes. He wears a pair of dark jeans and a red sweatshirt that says "Nebraska". He has a very soft Northern accent, an occasional stammer, and a tendency to apologise. His fingernails are broken, and there's a hard, white groove where he once wore a wedding band, pressed like twine into pork fat on his right hand.
At first, we say very little, but eventually Jack mutters, "Suppose you're sitting in a bedsit over there, and you're on your own, and you've only got a little TV. If you've got a hundred pounds in your pocket, and you go out on a Friday night, put a nice shirt on." He pauses. "Maybe put your hair up and put on a nice dress if you're a girl. If you go out clubbing then you're the same as the next man. You're a millionaire for a night."
Jack takes a plastic lighter from his pocket and taps it on the table.
"A lot of it's in the mind. Alcoholism is, because alcohol, if you only do it every now and again, it will lift you. Boom," he says, for emphasis, making the shape of gun in a gesture that feels unfortunate and sudden, and his eyes narrow. "But if you're doing it continuously, what alcohol will do is it will bring you up, and then it'll bring you right back down."
Jack hits his left palm off his right hand, and the resulting crack echoes like a gunshot.
"You won't get the up again because you're just on a continuous roll with it. That's the difference."
About half of the people who are passing through the British criminal justice system were drunk at the time of their offences. A slightly smaller group use alcohol in a way sufficiently chronic to be defined as a problem. Probation officers find that half their clients have a pattern of criminal behaviour associated with their drinking. Like Archie – and many of those who eat at Magdalene House – Jack is one of these men.
"I was in trouble through drink as a young man." He takes an old cigarette tin from his pocket and places it on the table. "I used to do TDAs, you know, taking and driving aways," he mumbles, referring to cars. "Then there was fraud. Cheque cards and cheques. I did a couple of sentences, in the old prison system. Anyway, I was in Strangeways, which is an old Victorian prison. One night, I got out over the hospital roof.
"Then I went abroad, and that was where my drinking began," Jack says, lighting the cigarette again. "My real drinking. I had an accident on a motorbike. I was in a wheelchair. Then I ended up in a hospital, suffering from a nervous breakdown and depression. I lost a house, I lost a job," he says, briskly. "I had a daughter in Holland who I've not seen from that day to this day. She's 22, nearly, now."
I can't help but wonder about the role that alcohol played in the circumstances; but Jack's eyes are clear, loving, and strangely mournful, like those of a man who'd sooner skirt the truth than tell a lie.
Suddenly, without warning, Jack mentions the night of his arrest in Suffolk for the first time, for the armed robbery of a petrol station.
"It was mad. I was pissed," he shrugs. "Every time, every crime, I've been pissed. When they were doing the reports on me, the barrister was saying, 'If that report gets done the wrong way then you'll get 12 years.' But the report was very good. The judge took a bit of lenience on me. He give me nine years." Jack counts aloud. "He give me four, four, and one."
"But that isn't very lenient," I say.
"If you've had the life I've had, then nine years in jail is more than lenient. Jail isn't a nice place. But it's food to eat, when you need it. It's a place to sleep – a place to keep your stuff. The guards treat you fine once they know you're not there to thump anyone, or cause them any hassle, or lie. Liars just don't last long in prison, because no one has any time for that. Jail has a funny way of making liars into honest people."
Jack seems to contemplate this for a moment. "It's only when they leave that they are taught how to lie again."
We begin making our way back toward the Salvation Army, where Jack is staying. We cut down toward Waverley Station and through the dingy, neon-lit arches. By a conservative estimate, half of those who sleep here are prison leavers. As many as 80 per cent will have a problem with alcohol or drugs.
"I'm no longer allowed to carry a nail gun. I can't use anything that fires a projectile," Jack explains. He's grinning. As part of his application to receive welfare payments, the Job Centre has insisted he begin a basic safety qualification to work in the building trade. Building sites are dangerous places, and nobody is going to employ him.
I want to ask Jack about that night in Suffolk, but I don't. I'm not looking properly as we walk along Calton Road, and a car swerves toward us.
"Watch yourself, son," Jack says, firmly and gently, as he takes my arm. "Watch yourself now."
On the loud, dank passageway known as the Pleasance, which marks the periphery of Edinburgh's Old Town, Jack introduces me to two men who stand outside the hostel, smoking. Buddha doesn't speak, but shoots surly, outraged glances at passersby and spits furiously on the street. Michael scowls angrily at the traffic, and brushes the patterns shaved into his eyebrows with thin, white fingers, like a child's.
Slowly, Michael describes leaving Birmingham because both of his parents were addicted to crack cocaine, and I realise that he's only 19. When Buddha eventually speaks, with shyness rather than hostility, it becomes clear that he has a learning disability that is very marked.
"I've got three places I can live," he says, slowly and precisely. "One room at my father's house, and one at my old lady's – but it's less lonely here. And you can smoke in your room, too," he shrugs. "They'd never let me do that at home." Later in our conversation, Buddha mentions that he is 32.
The manager of the Salvation Army explains, over reheated bolognese in a strip-lit, Formica dining hall, that 90 per cent of the current residents will have had contact with Britain's care system.
As he piles spaghetti on to his fork – in words thick with bitterness – he mentions how the majority will have been to prison, too. Many will use drugs, and most will drink excessively; despite constant contact with institutions of state, throughout their lives, charity is now their only support.
As I leave Jack, I find myself wondering about that night in Suffolk, why he had a gun, where he bought it, and what possessed him to rob a petrol station. He wasn't a violent criminal but a petty crook, and he knew enough from prison to realise that he would be caught immediately.
Alcohol gives us the illusion of power, when really we're at our most powerless. I imagine the taste of the whisky in my mouth, and that gun in my hand, no heavier than a bag of sugar.
Evoking the language of the Old Testament, Alcoholics Anonymous describes people such as Jack – and those who eat at Magdalene House – as the subjects of King Alcohol. They are dependent drinkers, beset by terror, frustration, bewilderment and despair, whose lives will end in jails or institutions – the shivering denizens of his mad realm.Reuse content

Anti-Mafia Police Detain Man over Phone Threat against Bulgaria PM
Officers of Bulgaria's Chief Directorate "Combating Organized Crime" have detained a man who made a phone threat against Prime Minister Boyko Borisov.
The threat was made via the 112 emergency phone line, according to reports of the Interior Ministry.
A 61-year-old man called to voice his dissatisfaction with the way Bulgaria was being governed, saying that Borisov "ought to be killed."
After an hour, operators of the 112 emergency phone received two similar calls made from the same number.
GDOP officers found that the number was of 61-year-old Y.B., a Sofia citizen with a criminal record for theft.
The man was detained for 24 hours and his mobile phone and five SIM cards, were seized, including the one from which the threat had been made.
After a questioning, the man was issued a warning protocol.

My heart gains a beat; each time I see your face;
but I cannot look upon it longingly; to my despair.
Of nobility's blood; to dream this dream is disgrace.
Iwish it be not so; having to deny my love unfair.
Kind eyes; I can only pretend not to see them staring;
sweetest smile I dare not return; for fear I be caught.
If only I could in your arms be; without other's caring;
Denounce my royal bloodline; and declare it naught.
I have loved you since I was but a child; and you a boy;
your brown hair and dimpled chin; and enchanting eyes.
To steal but a moment with you; would bring great joy;
But dictations of my status; would bring but thy demise.
I will no doubt be soon to wed; to one I do not know;
sacrifice my heart's desire; for kingdom's better good.
Though I must deny my pain; I will love you even so;
if I were not of noble blood; accept thy love I would.

That was quick, and excellent too, Ava!
i liked the formal tone of the poem, gave you a sense of the time period
I agree with mindy, the 'feel' of this poem adds to the authentisity. Great job! No commoners touch here
Methinks the art is more than the poet's jest. It is much more than sound and fury signifying nothing.

It's a particular problem, as you might imagine, at the Great Wall of China. China's solution? Let people do it—in a few specific spots. Advertisement The Guardian reports that Chinese authorities plan to section off a few parts of the nearly 3000-year-old wall as designated graffiti zones in hopes that people will stop carving up the rest of the famous monument. According to the official news:The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall has frequently had graffiti written on it in English and other languages, according to a statement from the district's publicity department.A report on Beijing Evening News on Friday said lots of newly carved graffiti in foreign languages has appeared on the Mutianyu section, far more than the Chinese-language graffiti.The No 5 Fighting Tower building is a popular spot for writing graffiti, with most of it in English, the report said.Curse those English-speaking tourists. Still, the ploy seems like a clever idea—a better one than the old plan, which was charging people $120 to write their name on a fake Great Wall of China.

Building History
For almost a century, the brick church on the corner of Elma Street and Centre Avenue served as a gathering place for the Okotoks community - a place to worship, gain inspiration and where music and praise filled the rafters. Although no longer a church, the facility continues to be a gathering place for celebration and inspiration in its new role as the Rotary Performing Arts Centre.
The building was originally the Methodist Church, built in 1906 at a cost of $5,100. It became the Okotoks United Church in 1917 when the Methodist and Presbyterian congregations joined together. As the town grew, so did the congregation and in 2002, members of the Okotoks United Church had outgrown their space and they made the difficult decision to put their beloved church up for sale.
The Okotoks Arts Council embarked upon an ambitious goal to purchase the church. Their goal was to preserve a much-loved historic building and also to provide a needed facility for the performing arts. After hundreds of hours of fund-raising and renovations, the arts council donated it to the Town of Okotoks. It was officially opened in April, 2005.
Extensive structural and stabilization work has been undertaken on the building since then including a $1 million investment in 2009 by three levels of government. The facility opened to the public in November, 2010 featuring The Dewdney Players production of "Sorry Wrong Chimney." An official re-opening took place on the weekend of February 25th to 27th, 2011.

Job Description for Public Defender
Public defenders are lawyers who represent individual defendants for cases ranging from felonies and misdemeanors to traffic cases. Usually, a person must prove to the court the inability to pay a lawyer's fees, and so the lawyer is paid by the government either as a regular employee or on a per-case basis depending on the needs of the state or municipality.Read More...
Public defenders are required to appear in court to represent clients and often manage several trials at once. They should investigate the facts of a case to gain a better understanding of what has occurred, and then advise the client regarding the appropriate action to be taken, including any pre-trial motions which should be filed. Prior to appearing in court, the public defender should instruct the client regarding what the court proceedings will be like, and may negotiate on the client's behalf to reach an agreement on sentence time or an acquittal. It may also be necessary to negotiate an appropriate bond amount.
Those in this position should always look out for what is best for clients, but also for the state attorney's office. They may also be appointed to help people secure social services, and it is often necessary to work with various social services agencies to help clients receive the help they need.
Public Defender Tasks
- Represent clients in cases involving felony or misdemeanor charges, delinquent youth, mental health or disability issues, and abuse or neglect.
- Conduct research using law libraries or computer databases and develop strategic plans.
- Draft legal documents and advise clients on legal matters.

A brief article in Crain's New York Business this week, headlined "Fine distinctions on Atlantic Yards," takes dubious aim at criticisms of state and city funding agreements raised first by AYR and later amplified by groups like Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn.
The article begins:
Atlantic Yards opponents omit key details when criticizing the project's city subsidies, supporters say.
Well, maybe if state and city agencies had released the funding agreements with some explanation, we'd have a more enlightening discussion. Instead, the state agreement was released quietly by the Empire State Development Corporation and the city agreement was made available only after a Freedom of Information Law request, and the New York City Economic Development Corporation was hardly expansive in answering questions.
Not for condemnation, OK
The article continues:
Developer Forest City Ratner Cos. can use the city's $100 million to buy but not condemn land, and only in tandem with its own investment.
As I reported, the $100 million was for land already purchased, not condemned. Obviously it would have to be in tandem with its own investment; while the $100 million would go for a good portion of the property already purchased for the arena block, the money doesn't cover the whole tab.
The article continues:
Officials say Forest City must repay the money if it doesn't finish the first phase on time, and would still be obligated to create 1,800 apartments, 35% of them affordable.
What does "repay the money" mean? The State Funding Agreement refers to "a portion, to be established in the Project Documentation, of State Funding Payments previously paid to developer by ESDC with interest and (ii) pay Liquidated Damages as set forth in the City Funding Agreement."
In other words, we don't know how much of the state's $100 million would be paid back. And the Liquidated Damages would be just a portion of the city's $100 million.
Forest City's obligations
As I reported, the State Funding Agreement makes reference to a "City Purpose Covenant" that would govern not just Forest City Ratner but any future owners of the premises.
In other words, the detail wasn't omitted, and Crain's got it wrong, since Forest City might not be the developer.
I reported that the agreement offers the possibility of a significantly smaller project, setting out a hierarchy of uses for the "Premises." If the General Project Plan is abandoned, the site would be used for not less than 1845 units of housing, of which 35 percent shall be Affordable Housing... and not less than 1.98 acres of environmentally sustainable publicly accessible open space.
Mischaracterizing subsidies
The article closes:
Critics also mischaracterize $105 million in city infrastructure work as a subsidy. Though listed under Atlantic Yards in the city budget, the work is not part of the development.
That's an interesting accounting distinction. Keep in mind that the state payments are for infrastructure, and the city's original $100 million subsidy was to be used for the same purpose as the state subsidy, along with the possibility of land purchases.
I reported that city officials had described the additional spending as money that would have to be spent anyway, but also reported skepticism from Doug Turetsky of the Independent Budget Office.
I also reported that Chuck Ratner, an executive with parent Forest City Enterprises, claimed, "[J]ust in these past six or eight months, we got the various governmental agencies, state, city, borough, in New York, to increase their commitments to Atlantic Yards by 105 million dollars on top of the 200 [million] they committed. We still need more."
So, whom can you trust, the "opponents" or the developer? In this case, they're both on the same page.

A global consulting firm worked with ChangeEducate to host a case competition at Duke University this fall. Masters of Management Students at Fuqua (Duke's business school) analyzed data provided by ChangeEducate to come up with recommendations for how ChangeEducate should launch into the national education market. Furthermore, the teams worked to determine what price the DVD should launch at in order to appeal to a teacher market with low funding while also maintaining the organization's sustainability. The winning team will work with ChangeEducate to implement the findings. This was an incredible opportunity that will ensure that our valued funders' donations go toward proven marketing and launch strategies which will ensure ChangeEducate's success and sustainability in the future.
In addition, our donors have funded the production, distribution, and training of a number of pilot schools this fall. Currently the ChangeEducate curriculum is being piloted in 5 classrooms, with more on the way! We are beginning to conduct assessments of the pilot feedback so that we may incorporate teacher and student suggestions into the creation of a more perfect curriculum, also thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors.
Thank you all for your continued support of ChangeEducate!

from Tumblr http://ift.tt/1aFeJJE
We need a sense of the oneness of the 7 billion human beings alive today. When I meet people, I don't think about being different from them, about being Tibetan, Buddhist or even the Dalai Lama. I only think about being a human being. We all share the potential for positive and negative emotions, yet one of our special qualities is our human mind, our intelligence. If we use it well we'll be successful and happy.Standard

Virtual Reality to Take Center Stage at Nvidia's GTC Event
Officials with the GPU maker unveil the company's new Quadro M5500 graphics offering and say Nvidia is working with such OEMs as HP, Dell and Lenovo.SAN JOSE, Calif.—Virtual reality technology promises to be a central topic during Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference here this week, with Nvidia officials ahead of the event unveiling the first mobile graphics chip for the company's VR Ready program. The program is designed to give system OEMs, developers, businesses and software vendors the tools they need to develop products for virtual reality (VR) computing. In a post on the company blog, writer David Weinstein wrote that Nvidia is working with an array of system makers—including Dell, HP Inc. and Lenovo—to build professional workstations that use Nvidia's VR-ready GPUs and meet the recommended minimum requirements. "Nvidia GPUs are the keystone of VR because graphics requirements are so high," Weinstein wrote. "Head-mounted displays, for example, require 90 frames per second, with a display for each eye." Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices both see the emerging VR and augmented reality (AR) markets as fertile growth areas. In the lead-up to the GPU Technology Conference (GTC), Nvidia unveiled the new Quadro M5500 GPU, which sports 2,048 CUDA cores, is based on the company's Maxwell architecture and, according to officials, is the world's fastest mobile GPU.
The first laptop to use the M5500 is the MSI WT72. At the same time, HP officials on April 4 announced the company is working with Nvidia to build workstations to enable users to develop and deliver VR experiences. HP is launching its new Z Workstation configurations that use Nvidia Maxwell GPUs. The HP Z840 uses two M6000 24GB cards and supports Nvidia's VR Scalable Link Interface (SLI) technology, which officials said doubles the system rendering power. The graphics cards enable top performance through the support for Nvidia's GPU Affinity API and VR Synchronization technologies.

Sprint Optimus G Battery -- is it "Lithium-Ion" or "Li-Polymer"?
I've seen the LG videos and the reviews and the posted specs for this Sprint and AT&T, but now that I'm looking carefully at the user guide and the "fact sheet" I see that the stated battery technology is "Lithium-Ion" or "Lithium Ion". Look at the user guide at page 15 in the second paragraph. Both of the documents that I'm refering to come from Sprint. However the "spec sheet" from LG.com does state "Li-Polymer" in the "Key Features" section. Again I think the Sprint docs must just have a typo (maybe they recycled some old LG documentation to create the new guide for the Optimus G.)
I'm hoping this is a typo but does anyone know for sure?
Sprint "fact sheet" -- <I cannot access the site right now; file is attached>
Sprint User Guide -- <I cannot access the site right now; file is attached>
LG "eSpecSheet" -- http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/o...s_G_Sprint.pdf (LG spec sheet is also attached.)

Re: Sprint Optimus G Battery -- is it "Lithium-Ion" or "Li-Polymer"?
It looks like official Sprint Twitter account has confirmed that the battery is Li-Po, but I still had to ask why the Sprint official docs state Li-Ion...

Good RAM 04/08/2014
This review is from: Team Dark 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model TXD38192M1600HC9DC-D
-Much good
-Very work
Aside from that joke...
The heatspreaders on this particular set are nice and I know my RAM won't be having any problems with heat. They are a bit tall, which might be a problem for some who have large CPU fans and DIMM slots near the CPU socket, but it's not a problem for me.
-Not sharp enough to slice my bread
I was considering taking an egg of for it's inability to slice bread out of the box, but I went back and checked the details of the product to find out that that's not what it was rated for. My bad.
Other Thoughts:
Went I first went into the BIOS after setting up my computer, I noticed that the RAM didn't detect as 1600MHz but rather 1333MHz...I went in and changed it manually to 1600, but it makes me question some sort of shady practices from the TeamGroup..

MC Leeuwarden Selects ClinicalKey
Hospital in the Netherlands provides 650 clinicians access to Elsevier's 'clinical insight engine,' which delivers the most current clinically relevant, evidence-based answersAmsterdam, January 28, 2013 – Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced that MC Leeuwarden will provide its 650 clinicians with access to ClinicalKey, Elsevier's pioneering "clinical insight engine." MC Leeuwarden is part of a select group of hospitals in the Netherlands called the STZ (the association of tertiary medical teaching hospitals).
Under the terms of the agreement, MC Leeuwarden will have access to ClinicalKey the tool's content, which includes more than 900 textbooks, 500 top medical journals and 9,000 procedural videos, providing the most current clinically relevant evidence-based answers, as well as expert commentary, MEDLINE abstracts and select third-party journals.
"Fast access to the most current up-to-date medical and scientific information is a vital element for clinician's in their daily workflow. We were really impressed with ClinicalKey and what it has to offer," said Jelle Prins, Dean of the MC Leeuwarden Academy. "Clinical excellence is a big priority for us, and we are confident that this tool can help us to get access to the core-information and that it will provide our professionals with the latest state-of-the-art functionality. The way in which ClinicalKey presents its information is of real added value to our clinicians and organization."
Launched in April 2012, ClinicalKey provides the most current clinically relevant evidence-based answers, as well as expert commentary, MEDLINE abstracts and select third-party journals. Its clinical reference search engine is powered by Elsevier's Smart Content, tagged with EMMeT (Elsevier Merged Medical Taxonomy), which enables ClinicalKey to understand clinical terms and thus discover medical content that is the most relevant, plus find related content that would be missed by other search engines. Clinicians, professors and medical students are able to quickly move from topic overview to in-depth specialty information in order to meet every day clinical challenges.
"MC Leeuwarden is one of the progressive institutions in the Netherlands, and we are proud that it selected ClinicalKey for its clinical reference needs," said Sebastian Vos, Senior Vice President, e-Solutions, EMEA-LA, Health Science at Elsevier. "Our content is comprehensive, trusted and quick, and this will help MC Leeuwarden find the most accurate response to help advance their training and ultimately, improve patient care."

It was casualty time in the unforgiving crucible of London 2012's main arena yesterday morning. Liu Xiang, the fall guy of the Beijing Olympics, smashed the first barrier in his 110m hurdles heat, then hopped down the apron of the track and departed in a wheelchair. Phillips Idowu, the Invisible Man of British athletics, managed a couple of valid hops, steps and jumps but disappeared from the home Olympic stage just 40 minutes after stepping on to it. He did so fearing he would need surgery to put his broken body back together but defiantly vowing to fight another day.
The pity is tomorrow should have been Idowu's day. The Hackney man has been the world's most consistent triple jumper in recent years and an Olympic final next door to his manor would have been a dream opportunity to achieve the gold he missed by just 5cm in Beijing. The trouble is he won't be on the start list, his wing and a prayer mission having come to grief in the qualifying round yesterday.
Idowu needed to jump 17.10m or to finish in the top 12 of the two combined pools, to make the final. It was not to be. In his first competition for nine weeks, the 33-year-old was clearly still constrained by the hamstring-cum-hip-problem that had been the cause of so much intrigue in the countdown to the Games.
With his first effort, the big Belgrave Harrier managed 16.47m. He abandoned his second without making a valid mark.
With his third, he managed to improve to 16.53m but that put him 14th in the pecking order, 11cm short of the cut-off point.
"I've competed for 12 years and I can't remember a time when I've performed that badly," a crestfallen Idowu reflected. "I'm guessing I will need surgery at the end of this season. I'll call it a day and wrap up the season.
"The crowd have been great. I'm upset that I let them down. All year I've been tagged as a medal favourite and I haven't got the chance to go out there and do it.
"It hasn't completely sunk in yet. My fourth Olympic Games hasn't gone to plan and now I just have to regroup and prepare for the future."
At 33, that future is unlikely to feature a fifth shot at Olympic gold in Rio in 2016 but – despite the travails of 2012, and the breakdown of his relationship with UK Athletics – Idowu insisted he will not be hanging up his spikes just yet.
"I haven't finished competing," he said. "I don't think you've seen the best of me yet."
There was further British anguish when Andy Pozzi crashed into the second barrier and out of his 110m hurdles heat and when Goldie Sayers, with a strapped and damaged elbow, failed to register a valid mark in the javelin qualifying round. "It's heartbreaking," a tearful Sayers said.
No athlete knows about the heartache of being injured for a home Olympics more than Liu Xiang. The host nation went into mourning when he failed to get down the track in his 110m hurdles heat in Beijing four years ago.
Yesterday he failed to get past the first hurdle, which he demolished in unceremonious fashion. Fenn Shuyong, China's track and field team leader, said that Liu was still suffering from the Achilles injury that struck him in Beijing but stressed: "He is not thinking of retiring."
At least, when the time does come for Liu to move on, he will do so with an Olympic gold. He won one in Athens in 2004, getting his moment of glory in before the ordeal of a home Games.

Posted 9 hours ago, seems no one really cares. Intertesting.
United States
#2 Aug 10, 2010
Its not that wedont care. Its just that there really isn't much to say about it at this point. There are no new answers. There are many ppl who continue to pray for the family daily. We haven't forgotten about her
#3 Aug 10, 2010
Everyone cares. Why should people cause her family any more pain by discussing it?
You looking for some fodder? How about this.
A woman decides to go for walk one evening after a long day and chat with a friend on her phone. After all it's her "home road", she knows everyone and family lives there.
Someone else decides she isn't entitled to this one tiny freedom and in the process causes pain for an entire community.
Kristi you are missed and loved by an entire community.
#4 Aug 10, 2010
Praying for all of the family!
United States
#5 Aug 10, 2010
Her father comes into where I work quite often. What a sweet, sweet man. I continue to pray every night for her and also for her darling family.
#6 Aug 10, 2010
I am surprised Boodoodle has not told anyone on this topic yet but Murphy has a canapoy for their pool during fall, winter and spring. The cost for membership is very good and they keep life guards on staff full-time not only to be life gaurds but also to teach swimming lessons throughout the year. Maybe Meeks should try this. The pool would have more use than a couple of months out of the year, it would pay for itself by charging a monthly, quarterly or yearly membership and added cost for swimming lessons.
You can see many members during the summer who are retirement age, swimming and enjoying. Some of those could use some extra cash to do what they love to do as well as college kids.
It would be nice for the community to have also and be better put to use.
Feel free to approach this idea or reject it.
#7 Aug 10, 2010
Sorry. New to posting here! Very sorry. All respect for the search and rescue of Christi.
United States
#8 Aug 11, 2010
I remembered that today is the one year anniversary of Kristi's abduction and I was going to post it this morning but you beat me to it .... so sad.
United States
#9 Aug 11, 2010
This is a good topic but it needs to be in a thread of it's own .... doesn't have anything to do with Kristi.
United States
#10 Aug 11, 2010
From the Kristi Cornwell website .... August 2010 update concerning the annonymous letter from the grandmother:
United States
#11 Aug 11, 2010
The grandmother said there were similar incidents in the newspaper in the area where he lives.
How can this woman live with herself ????? How many victims could she have saved or save in the future ?????
#12 Aug 11, 2010
I am ashamed we did not have a candle light vigil for Christi On the anniversary of her disappearance. I am talking to my self also. I pray for her and her family a lot. I wish this could be resolved for every one involved. Another thought, maybe AMW will air again since it is close to anniversary.
Saint Marys, GA
#13 Aug 11, 2010
Boo, did you not see the apology. This person mistakenly posted here and when they realized their mistake, apologized. Must you police everyone - you aren't the owner of topix!
United States
#14 Aug 11, 2010
I do not think this letter is legitimately from a 'concerned grandmother'. If she was truely concerned, she would have gone to the police station herself. This letter does nothing but to give the cops a morsel of information to investigate and off the trail of the real creep who did this.
I believe it was a letter from the perpetrator himself to put them on a wild goose chase far away from the real killer/perpetrator.
Just my humble opinion.
United States
#15 Aug 11, 2010
the church near where she was abducted is having a short vigil tonight at 8

Until recently, Richard Bliss has always sat in the western portion of Stuyvesant Square Park. But last Sunday he took a seat in the northeast corner to enjoy an emotional state that matched his name.
A La Gloria Cubana cigar smoldered in his hand. His companion, Sophia Lockshin, sat by his side. His Weimaraner, Samantha, lay at his feet. And a statue of Antonin Dvorak, one of his favorite composers, stood a distance to his right.
''I'm glad he's finally back,'' Mr. Bliss, a lawyer, said.
Designed by the Croatian-American sculptor Ivan Mestrovic, a student of Rodin, the statue was presented to the New York Philharmonic in 1963 by the Czechoslovak National Council of America. It was supposed to have been the centerpiece of a rooftop garden at Avery Fisher Hall. Instead, for more than 30 years it became the foil for blustery rooftop winds.
Since the early 1990's, the Stuyvesant Park Neighborhood Association and the Dvorak American Heritage Association have been trying to move the statue to the park, but they lacked the $50,000 endowment needed for the Parks Department to maintain the statue. Jack Taylor, a member of the Stuyvesant association and the coordinator of the Dvorak association, said the groups have raised $38,000, and are working on getting the remaining $12,000.
To Dvorak's fans, the arrival of the statue in the park is a two-fold blessing. First, the park is obviously more accessible than Lincoln Center's roof. Second, the composer lived in a four-story row house at 327 East 17th Street between 1892 and 1895. It was there that he composed two of his most beloved works, the Cello Concerto and Symphony No. 9 (''From the New World''), which was influenced by themes from American Indian folk melodies and black spirituals. But the house was razed by Beth Israel Medical Center, which bought the building in 1989, to make way for an AIDS hospice.
''The monument is not a substitute for the Dvorak house, but it is, finally, a recognition of the genius that house sheltered and nourished and the greatness that poured from it,'' Mr. Taylor said at the rededication of the statue last weekend. The statue is mounted on a granite pedestal designed by a Czech-American architect, Jan Hird Pokorny.
The ceremony was attended by the city's First Lady, Donna Hanover; the Parks Commissioner, Henry J. Stern; Milos Forman, the film director, and several descendants of the composer, including his great-grandson, Josef Suk 2d, the violinist.
Since the unveiling, the cognoscenti have come by daily. And as for Mr. Bliss, who has listened to every major conductor's version of the Ninth Symphony, from Rafael Kubelik conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to Istvan Kertesz conducting the London Symphony to Leonard Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic, the statue was a perfect companion during a leisurely Sunday afternoon in the park.
''This is where he belongs,'' Mr. Bliss said. JANE H. LIIContinue reading the main story

2017 Toyota Corolla
LE CVT Automatic
About This Toyota
2017 Toyota Corolla
LE CVT Automatic
|New Title
|1.8L 4 Cylinder
|Front Wheel Drive
|Exterior Color
|Barcelona Red Metallic
|Interior Color
|Stock #
|Full Factory Warranty
Vehicle OverviewWhen it comes to longevity, simplicity and reliability, the Toyota Corolla is up there behind the Volkswagen Beetle.We're talking 50 years and 40 million cars, a milestone that's being marked with a 2017 Corolla 50th Anniversary Limited Edition.Only 8000 will built, according to Toyota, in three colors, with 17-inch alloy wheels, cherry stitching on black leather interior, and a badge or two.
Otherwise, the 2017 Corolla isn't changed over 2016, except for available safety technology that comes from the Prius.The 2017 Toyota Corolla is an 11th-generation product, launched as a 2014 model.
The base engine is a 1.8-liter four cylinder making 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque.The 1.8-liter Eco engine uses variable valve timing to produce 140 hp and 126 lb-ft.
Most Corollas come with a continuously variable transmission, though a 6-speed manual transmission is available.Toyota's CVT is better than most (the Subaru is excellent, as well).It's successfully designed and programmed to feel like a 7-speed automatic.
The Corolla is 183 inches long, big for a compact, but that gives it room.It grew by four inches in its last redesign, 2014.That gained 5.1 inches in rear legroom, so now six-foot-tall passengers are comfortable anywhere in the car.
There's no hatchback Corolla model.The Toyota iM (formerly known as the Scion iM) is for all practical purposes is the Corolla hatchback.
The Prius is Toyota's fuel-mileage model, but the Toyota Corolla LE Eco gets an EPA-rated 30/42 mpg City/Highway, or 35 Combined miles per gallon, while other Corolla models get a respectable 31 or 32 mpg Combined.Corolla LE Eco features an Eco Drive mode altering transmission and throttle response, as well as a/c and accessory management.
In crash testing, Corolla gets five stars overall from the federal government, NHTSA, with four stars in rollover.From the IIHS insurance industry it got top Good ratings in frontal, side, rear, and roof crash tests, but just Marginal in the small overlap frontal test.There are eight airbags designed to protect you.However there's not a rearview camera in every model, to protect you from backing into a telephone pole.
New for 2017, Corolla models offer the Safety Sense-P package, including forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and lane-departure warning with active lane control that steers the car into the center of the lane.

text: Aerial tramway reopens at W.Va. state park By The Associated Press June 2, 2012 PIPESTEM, W.Va. -- An aerial tramway that provides a view of Bluestone Gorge has reopened at Pipestem Resort State Park.The tramway went back into service on Friday. It transports guests to the Mountain Creek Lodge along the Bluestone River. The lodge is only accessible by the tramway. A routine inspection several weeks ago indicated that two of six sheave wheels used in the turntable unit at the top of Pipestem's 3,600-foot-long aerial tramway were in need of replacement.Dave Caplinger, park superintendent, says the tramway recently underwent replacement and reassembly of the counterweight system, remounting of the tram cable and completion of a load test. The repairs took three and a half days to complete. The tramway opened to the public in 1971.

Remnants of oil lamps sit in a wall niche. (Fire was a constant danger in the days of open lamps, and it was safer to keep a flame burning in a wall recess than on a projecting shelf.)

1. Tutti & Todd, Barbie's Twin Siblings
These elementary schoolers were introduced in 1966 as Barbie and Skipper's little brother and sister. Much like Richie's big brother on Happy Days, in 1971 they announced they were headed off to school and were never seen or heard from again.
2. Francie, Barbie's Cousin
In 1966 Barbie started hanging out with her cousin Francie, who had a "mod" '60s wardrobe, a thinner figure, and beautiful rooted eyelashes. She mysteriously disappeared in 1976, and while there's no evidence that Barbie murdered her in a fit of jealous rage, there's also no evidence that she didn't.
3. Jazzie, Barbie's "Cool Teen Cousin"
Jazzie was the epitome cool in the late '80s/early '90s. The high school student had friends with names that matched hers (Chelsie and Stacie), a boyfriend known simply as "Dude," and her very own version of the Peach Pit: A rad hangout spot called "Burger King."
4. Kelly I/Stacie/Kelly II, Barbie's Little Sister
In the '90s Barbie's parents had several children in an attempt to fill the Tutti-shaped hole in their lives. Kelly first appeared as a flower girl in Midge's wedding, then demanded that everyone start calling her "Stacie" in a desperate plea for attention. Several years later Kelly was reincarnated as a toddler, but Barbie was too busy with her work as a presidential candidate/aerobics instructor to notice.
5. Krissy, Barbie's Baby Sister
Disappeared in 2001. Barbie's only statement on the matter: "It will shock you how much it never happened."
6. Barbie's Pets
Most greusome playset ever: Barbie's pet cemetery, which contains 21 dogs, 15 horses, six cats, a parrot, a chimpanzee, a panda, a lion cub, a giraffe, and a zebra. As it turns out, Barbie didn't find her dog Tanner's realistic pooping action all that amusing.
