He strted out with Mum nd surprised her, nd then it ws Pepsi nd then it ws milk sid Alesh Bdgley, diretor of the Arknss rehbilittion entre where Wllis ws being red for. Now it is nything he wnts to sy. His mother Angilee Wllis sid it ws mirle. I ouldn t tell you my first thought, I just fell over on the floor she sid.

Only nrrow rnge of existing GM rops re urrently suited to UK onditions, nd wek onsumer demnd is likely to limit tke-up. Long-term, GM rops my offer wider-rnging benefits, sid the report, Field Work: Weighing Up The Costs And Benefits Of GM Crops.

But while it seems rther vgue nd desperte tti it my be extly the right thing to do, reserh suggests. A good night s sleep relly does help the brin get to grips with new knowledge nd mkes us better ble to t on it the following dy, Amerin sientists believe. Reserhers t the University of Pennsylvni studied how well mie bsorbed, or onsolidted, new informtion nd then remembered it the next dy.

Even though they hve lredy wlked off with one jkpot, Rymond nd Brbr Wrgg still ply the gme, whih ould be good news for good uses ner their home in Sheffield. Speking on BBC Rdio s The Morning Show, Mrs Wrgg sid they hd first mde gifts to fmily nd friends before mking further dontions for hrity. Their most reent dontion ws 20,000 to fund teenge ner unit t Weston Prk Hospitl in Sheffield. They hve lso given 10,000 to py for hild-size MRI snner t Sheffield Children s Hospitl nd took 240 pupils from lol shool in deprived re to see Disney-on-ie show. Reding Comprehension 5 Bhelors who wnt to sty single were wrned not to buy home with their girlfriend yesterdy fter reserh showed tht women see property, not enggement, s the biggest bond. Trdition used to ditte tht womn s only desire ws to get ring on her finger, but survey published yesterdy showed tht buying home with her boyfriend is now seen s fr more signifint. The reserh, onduted by the Woolwih, found tht 34 per ent of women think joint deposit on property is the lerest signl for long-term reltionship. Just 13 per ent think tht getting engged is mking suh ler signl. The number of people mrrying hs fllen to fewer thn 250,000 yer, the lowest for more thn entury, ording to the Offie for Ntionl Sttistis. Women s ttitudes towrds buying home with boyfriend my well hve been influened by the ft tht deposit on property is fr greter finnil burden thn n enggement ring.

12 10 90 Minutes Reding Comprehension / Lnguge Elements Reding Comprehension, Prt 2 Reding Comprehension Red the following text, then hoose the nswers to questions Youngsters ren t illiterte, but they re not reding mny books If hildren re to pitlise on life s opportunities, they must be ble to red. Trditionlly, in both edution nd the wider ulture, litery mens books. Muh of wht is most preious in our ulturl storehouse lies between hrd overs nd shools hve ustomrily lid gret stress on enourging hildren to disover books. But printed books hve been vilble for only few enturies nd newer medi like the internet ould yet disple them from their pre-eminent ple in the ulture. Certinly the results from the ltest survey of teenge litery by the Orgnistion for Eonomi Co-opertion nd Development give out some surprising signls. This reserh, whih ompres levels of litery mong 15-yer-olds ross 43 ountries, shows tht Britin s seondry-shool students spend less time reding books thn those of lmost every other ountry. This sounds lrming, but nother sttisti from the sme survey is more ressuring. British teengers do well in interntionl litery tests, oming ninth out of 43 ountries, omfortbly mong the top performing qurter. But if our teengers re not reding books, where re they getting their skills? Andres Sheiher, hed of nlysis in the OECD s edution division, believes teens re spending more time browsing through mgzines, e-mil nd the internet, nd tht this is not prtiulr problem. Wht mtters is hving diversity of different reding mterils, he sid. E-mil is prt of ommunition in the modern world nd is therefore vlid wy of spending your reding time. So, does it mtter if hildren ren t reding books? Frnis Spufford, uthor of the The Child Tht Books Built, is pssiontely onvined tht it does. There is differene between tehnil litery, whih is the bility to deode written lnguge, nd the rest of wht the written word is pble of, to reh its emotionl heights nd sound its emotionl depths nd inherit ll of the things tht re oded into the written words, he sid. There re more odes there thn just the lphbet. And books re more thn just nother tehnology for delivering writing in; they re other worlds, sometimes worlds tht reflet our own, sometimes worlds tht hllenge our own, sometimes worlds tht provide n espe from our own. But they ontin some of the most rih nd densely imgined things of whih humns re pble, nd unless you lern to slow down nd let books do their work on you, you re missing something enormous. Spufford s point is ehoed by Genevieve Clrk, who mnges the Ntionl Reding Cmpign. She sid, One wy of putting it is tht they exerise the musles of the imgintion. They open ll sorts of doors, they enourge people to see life through other people s eyes. So, yes, books will lwys remin speil nd we would lwys enourge people to relise tht books n fit into their life. Contrry to wht the OECD reserh suggests, Clrk mintins tht books re still populr mong young people. Look t Hrry Potter, she sid. Teengers re still reding, nd reding very brodly. We ve got plenty of evidene from ll sorts of things, for instne the BBC Big Red where the top 100 books were voted for by the publi. A third of them were hildren s books. But plenty of inditors suggest otherwise, nd if it is ler tht books re importnt it is less ler how we persude teengers of this. Spufford sid, Prt of it is perhps to do with the right hildren not finding the right book, beuse tht is proess whih depends to remrkble extent on luk, the sort of luky lightning strikes where the right kid finds the right pge t the right time. It s hrd to see how tht ould be systemtised. On the other hnd it my lso be tht the wy we re tehing reding nd writing in shools doesn t tully enourge hildren to see books s soure of plesure, whih is very importnt. Clrk sid tht hildren s existing interest in other kinds of reding ould tully serve s wy in. I think tehers, librrins, nyone who s involved with promoting reding, espeilly to those who think tht reding is boring or just not ool, need to think quite brodly bout how they enourge hildren into reding, she sid. If they re pssiontely interested in dne or fishing or omputers, there might be mgzines nd websites tht interest them, but there re probbly books s well. Wht we try to do is enourge young people to see books s prt of the mix.

They are all under pressure now. The MCG on Boxing Day, 90,000 in the stands, repeat 90,000, means that the comfort blanket of the Barmy Army will barely be audible. It will be impossible to hear oneself think. It will be a magnificent stage or an incredibly daunting one, depending on your form, your mood and your luck.
It will be a time for cliches – to stand up and be counted, to step up to the plate, a time for the tough to get going, for responsibility to be taken. One player who should be given additional responsibilities at the MCG is Ian Bell.
By universal accord England should promote him to No5, to swap places with Paul Collingwood. It does not sound like much of a change, just a tweak. But that is rarely the way such a move is interpreted in the dressing room. There it can feel more like a seismic shift, the pecking order would be disturbed.

Even so, it makes good sense to promote Bell. Collingwood has been struggling. It has long been noted that the most consistent of characters, rock-solid and dependable, is the most inconsistent of batsmen. He is a streaky player, albeit a wonderfully gritty one when there is a match to be saved.
In Australia Collingwood has played 14 Test innings. In the space of a week at the start of the 2006 series he hit 96 and 206. Since then he has rarely threatened to get near 50. Moreover Collingwood plays well in the last-chance saloon (witness his career-saving century at Edgbaston against South Africa in 2008). He should be politely sent there again and at 34 he will do well to extricate himself.
Collingwood has been hanging on throughout this series. He looks wary and uncertain; against the quick bowlers his front foot rarely emerges from the popping crease. He is greatly valued – for his brilliant catching, his combativeness – and there remains the hope that there is one more significant Test innings left in him. Meanwhile Bell has purred along in princely form. Only the major innings has been missing.
In the past the Guardian's noble cricket correspondent has pined for "Bellingwood", an amalgam of two players that could really produce the goods. Combine Collingwood's grit with Bell's class and watch out Sachin. Such musings have stopped now mainly because Bell himself has begun to come good when the pressure is on. We no longer fear his flakiness quite so much.
In this series he has excelled when the rest have faltered, whereas in the past he has been criticised for filling his boots when the conditions were all in his favour. It is not really his fault that he has an average of 158 against Bangladesh, but such a statistic can be an embarrassment.
In Brisbane Bell hit an impish 76 in England's first innings, having witnessed the Peter Siddle hat-trick from the non-striker's end. In Perth he also watched the middle order come and go with barely a "how d'you do" when Mitchell Johnson caused havoc. There Bell top-scored in the first innings with 53.
On both occasions Bell reacted aggressively in a crisis, which has not always been his way. He rocked on to the front foot and drove sweetly on both sides of the wicket. He was not so discomforted by the odd bouncer barrage – the Australians clearly think he has a bit of a weakness there.
In both innings there was an element of self-sacrifice, not always a feature of the old Bell. In fact, such selflessness did not help the team much. Stranded with the tail Bell may have become over-ambitious. In Brisbane he tried an exotic shot against Xavier Doherty and was caught on the cover boundary; in Perth he swished away from his body against Ryan Harris and was caught at slip.
Even in his new forthright style he would not normally play such strokes. The signs are that he has not quite mastered the art of batting with the tail; he clearly doesn't trust them much. The logical solution, given that he has been in such sublime form, is to keep him a bit further from that tail. That should give him a proper chance to rectify his modest record against Australia. Even with this little spurt in this series he averages only 30 in Ashes cricket and he has yet to hit a century against Australia in 16 Tests.
At 28 he should be near his peak; he is due. What probably does not cheer his colleagues up much – especially someone such as the struggling Collingwood – is that Bell provides strong evidence of the virtues of being dropped.
This was one of Andy Flower's first acts as England coach. After defeat in Jamaica in February 2009, when England were bowled out for 51 in their second innings, Bell was axed. This clearly shook him. His passage into the England side had been assured from the moment the Kiwi Dayle Hadlee described him as the best 16-year-old he had seen. It had all been a bit cosy.
But Bell reacted well to his omission. He embarked upon a rigorous fitness campaign including sessions with a renowned kick-boxer named Barrington Patterson (imagine Kenny of that name exposing himself to such a regime). He resolved to be less submissive at the crease, the Sherminator (the disparaging American Pie nickname given to him by the 2005 Australians) no more.
The new Bell began to impose himself on Test matches, most notably on last winter's tour of South Africa, where he played critical innings in Durban and Cape Town, when some armchair critics were questioning his place in the side. Runs against Australia in a packed stadium, which could house the entire population of Solihull, would confirm the transformation to complete Test batsman.

An outside view of Lyme
Plein air (on location) painting has a rich history in Old Lyme that began with the 19th-century Lyme Art Colony painters at Miss Florence's boarding house, now the Florence Griswold Museum.
More than a century later, the tradition has been revitalized in an annual event, now in its second year, titled "Celebrating Lyme's Beauty," co-organized by the Lyme Art Association (LAA), Lyme Land Conservation Trust, and New London's Lyman Allyn Art Museum.
Dozens of artists participated in a one-day paint-out on May 5 at Clucas Field on Brush Hill Road in Lyme-last year's location was the Grassy Hill Church on Grassy Hill Road in Lyme.
Paintings that resulted from this year's paint-out were juried for exhibition at the Lyman Allyn (through June 30) and will then move to LAA from July 7 to Sept. 3, where the framed works also will be for sale.
"This is a fantastic partnership between three local nonprofit organizations, each with a connection to Lyme's remarkable landscape," says Susan Ballek, LAA executive director. "I'm a former board member of the Lyme Land Conservation Trust, and I have worked in exhibitions and education at the Lyman Allyn, so this was an especially rewarding partnership for me."
Ballek credits Molly Turner, Land Trust board member, with the initial idea to do a paint-out at a Land Trust preserve in Lyme.
"Where I've come in is with the actual organization of the paint-out, juried show and exhibition installation," Ballek says. "Because (LAA) holds over seven juried exhibitions each year?and has access to more than 1,200 members, 700 of whom are practicing artists, we were able to spread the word about the event."
Nancy Stula, director and curator of the Lyman Allyn, curated the exhibition, which includes works by both professional and amateur artists.
Stula says she selected the 51 paintings on exhibit out of about 75 entries, "based on quality-the artists control and handling of the medium."
She also says she tried to pull a selection of artists working in an abstracted style along with the more representational works.
Oils and acrylics make up the majority of the paintings, but there are also several watercolors, pastels and pen & inks. Many of the artists worked small in order to complete the paintings on location in the limited time frame.
Stula says the planning group for this year's event wasn't convinced the field would be the most inspiring location for the paint out.
"But lo and behold, it resulted in a surprisingly wide variety of images," she says.
The overcast day with its atmospheric light created romantic, moody colors and made the grass appear brilliant green in a number of the paintings.
Some of the works, Stula points out, were painted close-up and others from a pulled-back perspective.
Many people chose the field with its copse of trees in the middle-or only painted the open field. Others went into surrounding woods that has a creek running through it for the focal point of their paintings, she notes.
"That the same place yielded such variety is pretty amazing," Stula says.
Because all the work was painted on location, although some was completed later in the artists' studios, the one thing the paintings all have in common, Stula stresses, "is freshness of vision and spontaneity."
Stula says of the overall concept of the show, "Lyme Land Trust is spreading their mission, LAA is about supporting the artists, and then (we're) giving the artists an opportunity to be seen in a museum. We're excited to have them here. It's a fun project to do every year and it's important for the Lyman Allyn to collaborate with other (local organizations)."
What: "Celebrating Lyme's Beauty: Paintings of Clucas Field"
Where and When: Lyman Allyn Museum, 625 Williams Street, New London, through June 30; Lyme Art Association, 90 Lyme Street, Old Lyme from July 7 to Sept. 3.

PharmaPoint: Parkinson's Disease - Brazil Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022SummaryParkinson's disease is a progressive condition that is characterized by bradykinesia, muscular rigidity, tremor, and postural instability. As the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, Parkinson's disease may affect individuals of any age but prevalence is increased with age and it is most common in the elderly. Dopaminergic therapies have been fairly effective in treating bradykinesia, but several unmet needs remain. Some needs will be met during the forecast period from 2012-2022, while others, such as the need for disease-modifying drugs, will remain. GlobalData expects that advancements will be made in levodopa administration and that four new molecular entities will be introduced to the market by 2022, these factors along with increased patient numbers from an aging population will drive the market during the forecast period.The decline in sales is attributed to a private-public partnership (PPP) between Brazil and Boehringer Ingelheim, which will drive down the price of generic pramipexole as the technology to produce the drug is transferred to Brazil's Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz)/Institute of Drug Technology (Farmanguinhos), which will solely be responsible for the country's production of the drug by 2017.Scope

text: Investors in Prudential Financial, Inc. ( PRU) saw new options become available this week, for the May 17th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the PRU options chain for the new May 17th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.The put contract at the $80.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.47. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $80.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $78.53 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of PRU, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $84.00/share today. Because the $80.00 strike represents an approximate 5% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 71%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 1.84% return on the cash commitment, or 13.15% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.

Justin Bieber Mariah Carey
December 2, 2011 by staff
Justin Bieber Mariah Carey, At Wednesday night's tree lighting ceremony in Rockefeller Center, viewers were not only treated to the awe-inspiring lighting of the tree but also to the debut of Justin Bieber and Mariah Carey's music video for "All I Want for Christmas."
Bieber, who was on hand to perform songs from his new Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe, unveiled the video of his duet with Carey during NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center special on Wednesday.
The song, a remake of Carey's 1994 hit, starts off with Santa on the street ringing a bell and spreading holiday cheer but then transitions into something that may not be deemed age appropriate for some viewers.
It features the 41-year-old singer scantily clad in a Santa outfit posing seductively against a brick wall in a department store, with the 17-year-old Canadian heartthrob and some friends passing by with a shopping cart not being able to take their eyes off of her.

Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
I'm a little surprised former Dallas sack star Greg Ellis plans to sign with the Raiders.
I've been following Ellis since Dallas cut him a couple of weeks ago when the team couldn't find a trade partner. I was mostly keeping tabs on whether Ellis might end up in Denver or Kansas City. Both of those teams are transitioning to a 3-4 defense and are in dire need of a legitimate pass-rusher. Ellis played in a 3-4 scheme with the Cowboys.
Yet, he decided to sign with Oakland for three years. The Raiders are the only team in the AFC West to use a 4-3 defense. Ellis will move back to defensive end from outside linebacker. He has 77 career sacks in 11 seasons. Ellis, who turns 34 in August, had eight sacks for Dallas last season.
In addition to schematic reasons, the move is a surprise because Oakland already has many pass-rushers, including promising second-year player Trevor Scott, and the Raiders drafted three defensive ends in April. The signing of Ellis is another sign that Derrick Burgess could be traded.
Ellis' signing is not a bad move by Oakland. Sacks are precious and if Ellis can provide another six to eight sacks this season, Oakland's defense will be better for it. He may be nearing the end of his career, but his eight sacks in 2008 show he is not done yet. This isn't a defense-changing move by Oakland, but it won't hurt the team.
Ellis is the second aging former Pro Bowl player Oakland has signed in a month. It added fullback Lorenzo Neal in May. Thus, Al Davis' love affair with veterans continues.

Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. cry foul over spilled oil
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – Spilled oil on Watkins Glen International's 2.45-mile circuit drew the attention (and ire) of several Sprint Cup drivers Sunday.
Among them was Jeff Gordon, who was sent spinning on the final lap of the Finger Lakes 355 while chasing a top-10 finish. He later complained that NASCAR should have thrown a caution flag.
"I guess somebody was laying oil, and NASCAR doesn't want it to end under caution," said Gordon, who was relegated to 21st. "They talked about it the whole lap but never wanted to throw a caution.
MORE: Ambrose wins last-lap duel
RESULTS: Finger Lakes 355
"We were coming. It's just unfortunate that that gets taken away from you because NASCAR doesn't want to end the race under yellow."
NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said race control only heard reports of smoke — no fluid — coming from Bobby Labonte's No. 47 Toyota.
"We got a report of smoke on the 47 and not any dropped oil," Pemberton said. "And basically that's it. It looked to me that everybody made it through OK. One car went around. And the rest of it was good hard racing coming to the checkered (flag)."
One after another, drivers confirmed after the race there was indeed a slick presence on the track. Race winner Marcos Ambrose said there wasn't a black streak like you would normally see with spilled oil, but noted "it was almost like a fine spray."
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who lost a top-10 finish with a late spin (he wound up 28th), said the oil "was everywhere. You couldn't see it, but it was everywhere. So you didn't know where to run.
"It was a bad deal, I think. The track shouldn't have oil on it. … It was a bad, ugly finish at the end."
On the final lap, Kyle Busch was spun from the lead by Brad Keselowski. His crew chief, Dave Rogers, blamed oil from Labonte's car for slowing Busch's No. 18 Toyota through the corners. Third-place finisher Jimmie Johnson tweeted that "those last 2 laps were slick with all that oil down!"
Pemberton said that NASCAR would have thrown the yellow if it thought there was a safety issue.
"If we thought it would put people in harm's way, we would have had to address that," Pemberton said. "We didn't get a confirmed report that there was oil on the track."
Ambrose, who outdueled Keselowski to complete a charge from third to first on the final lap, thought NASCAR's no call was the right call.
"No one wants to see these races finish under caution or bunch back up in these two-by-twos and making a random finish," Ambrose said. "We had the three fastest cars duking it out for the win, and that's the way it should be. I think they made the right call."
Gordon conceded Ambrose's point, but lamented the result that dropped him out of a Chase for the Sprint Cup wild-card spot.
"I understand. You want to keep it entertaining and give the winner a shot at it," Gordon said. "But there are a lot of other things going on out there, too. I think they completely disregarded that."

Professor, Dean and author
Memorial: Oil Portrait by Lester Bertley, presented by the Metropolitan (NY) Chapter of Gallaudet College Alumni Association, July 1, 1957
Irving Fusfield's acquaintance with Gallaudet College began in 1915 with his admission to the Normal School, Gallaudet's teacher preparatory program. He was appointed to the faculty in September 1916 and later became a full professor. Over the next several decades, he would rise to various leadership positions at the College.
A graduate of Columbia University (B.S., 1915; M.A., 1917), Fusfield received a B. Ped degree in 1921. In 1939, he became the first dean of Gallaudet College. His tenure lasted until 1953, when he became vice president and was placed in charge of research on methods of instructing the deaf. As part of this assignment, he produced a series of popular bulletins.
Fusfield succeeded Edward Allan Fay as editor of the American Annals of the Deaf in 1920 and held the position until 1943. In 1928, He co-authored with Dr. Rudolph Pinter the Survey of American Schools for the Deaf.
In 1946, Gallaudet awarded him an honorary Doctor of Letters degree. The 1951 Tower Clock was dedicated to him, and in 1956 the Alpha Sigma Pi Fraternity named him Man of the Year. At the request of the Gallaudet College Alumni Association, the College bestowed on him the title of vice president emeritus in 1973.
After his retirement from Gallaudet College, he served for several years as staff psychologist at the California School for the Deaf in Berkeley.

Lord Narcisse orders a search of the castle prompting Mary and Lola to hurry with Estelle to the waiting carriage; however before she can leave a guard comes up to Mary and Lola, demanding for everyone to get out.
Mary asks the guard of there's a problem, to which the guard replies that he's been ordered by Lord Narcisse to check all carriages leaving the castle.
