Is the upgrade mandatory? The AT&T spokeswoman says the only DSL customers who don't have to switch are those in areas where U-verse isn't available. But I also wrote to AT&T's social media manager, "Mike," from the AT&T website, just as any customer can. Mike didn't write back, but "Kenneth" did. "Most times you still have a choice in keeping your traditional DSL rather than switching to U-verse. I hope that's helpful," Kenneth wrote. Yes, very helpful. Two different answers.
They never told me what to do with the other 2 modems, instead after taxes and fees it came out to $327+ in just equipment.
I dunno about this story, something smells of BS.
The only thing I see an issue with is that AT&T should have migrated the customers for no charge.
I just priced out internet only on the uverse website.$20 monthly + $100 one-time for 3M. That's 120. Far from 327, even after any fees...
The plan she's on is $30, they didn't wave the $149 installation charge (like they do when you order online), and there was a 2nd, prorated month on that bill. Throw in the $100 for equipment and you can get to $337 pretty quickly.
Exactly how is she going to order on-line, when at&t cut off her internet access??Seams to me At&t breached her contract/service agreement, most likely mid month for a paid up service. At&t should bear the full costs of restoring her service or providing an alternate service.
Comcast doesn't grandfather anything, but I wouldn't want them to, ....
Is anybody really surprised at this story? AT&T is one of the most obnoxious companies to exist and will lie, cheat and steal to get money out of customers. If customers play by the rules to lower their costs, AT&T changes the rules. It is a company I hope I never have to do business with.The fact that they could not find any real non-astroturf "love" from the public when it came to their proposed merger with T-Mobile speaks volumes about the kind of respect the company has.

The day I receive this notice is the day I cancel and order TWC. Right now I have my Speedstream 4100 and Linksys WRT54G that has served me well for years. I'm paying $19.99 for Elite, it's $24.95 for Elite Uverse and I can't get "Max".I'll keep my solution with stand alone modem, router, and $19.99/mo or I'm gone.
Nope. I'm going to spend $29.99 for 12 months up to 10mbps. AT&T's $24.95 is also a promo for up to 6mbps.
Each time I checked no deal, (same old crappy CO serviced), PPPoE aDSL re-branded as Uverse service.
Under the AT&T DSL TOS, once Uverse is offered in the same area as DSL, you are required to switch, if AT&T so requests.However, the switch is not supposed to cost you any money. This customer should call and request a credit.I had AT&T DSL for four year. I had the faster package they offer at 6MB down.Moved from AT&T DSL to UVerse, have a faster speed for less money (although I now get tv and UVoice as part of the bundle).

/ Home / Your Council / News / News Releases / 2012 / February
The Highland Council is eager to improve the service it provides to customers with planning and building standards enquiries by channeling routine enquiries via its Service Points and Service Centre.
From Wednesday 7th March an appointment system is to be trialed for all planning and building standards customers in the Golspie planning area.
The Council believes this will not only help the public by improving customer service and efficiency but will free up the time of specialist staff to focus on processing current and pending planning and building standards cases.
The new approach is already being trialed at the Council's Area Planning Office in Dingwall and lessons learned will assist with the potential roll-out of a similar approach across the remainder of Planning and Building Standards area offices.
Stuart Black, Director of The Highland Council's Planning and Development Service said: "Research has shown that the majority of first time enquiries to planning and building standards offices are simple requests for forms, support in the application process or progress updates on pending applications. We believe these types of enquiries can be dealt with more efficiently and effectively via the Customer Services Network, leaving the specialists in the service to deal with current and pending cases."
Customers will now be able to book an appointment by telephoning 01349 886608 if they require a meeting with a Planner or Building Standards Officer in these area offices. For on-going applications, existing customers will still be able to liaise with their case officer via email, telephone and booking an appointment to see them. Customer Services advisors have been provided with training to ensure that they have the appropriate knowledge to deal with enquiries over the phone and at Service Points.
A 'Duty Officer' will also be available to deal with more complex enquiries or book an appointment with the relevant case officer. Customer and staff surveys will be used to gauge the pilot over the coming months.Further details on all planning matters and necessary forms are also available by visiting www.highland.gov.uk

Best Thing to Smoke
Olive Oil/Holy Smoke
Stephanie Barna
Staff Pick
You can smoke just about anything and it seems like people are doing that these days, with questionable success. But one thing that is a bona fide hit is the smoked olive oil from
Holy Smoke
. It's tinged with flavor from smoking cold-pressed California olive oil with hickory and pecan. Sopped up with a fresh baguette from Baguette Magic, the flavor can't be beat.

Stay current with legal news in Tennessee. This page features the latest news for and about the Tennessee legal community, either produced by the Tennessee Bar Association or collected from news sources.
The Sixth Circuit Judicial Council is soliciting applications from persons interested in appointment as United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Western District of Tennessee at Jackson. This position will become vacant upon the retirement of United States Bankruptcy Judge G. Harvey Boswell on July 8. Applications must be received by July 18. Download more information
Rutherford County Chancellor Robert Corlew's decision last week that county officials violated Tennessee's Open Meetings Act regarding plans to build the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro has thrown open the issue of whether government officials have a special duty to tell constituents about matters that might upset them — even if there have not yet been any complaints. The ruling also could fan an ongoing debate in the legislature over whether paid advertisements in newspapers, particularly those with low circulations, should continue to be the main way local governments tell the public what they're doing. Read more from the News Sentinel
Special Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood removed motions from a court file, ordered prosecutors to make no public mention of them, used email communication in lieu of orders and hearings and favored meetings in chambers over public hearings — all to avoid public scrutiny of his handling of the Christian-Newsom torture-slaying cases, documents reviewed by the Knoxville News Sentinel suggest. Blackwood's efforts to keep proceedings from the public eye are detailed in emails made public as part of an effort by Knox County District Attorney General Randy Nichols' office to request that Blackwood step down from the case, the News Sentinel reports.
Former attorney Matthew Kluger was sentenced Monday to 12 years in prison for his role in a massive insider trading scheme that netted a combined total of more than $37 million and spanned nearly two decades. Prosecutors say the crimes were made possible in large part by his position as an associate with a series of Am Law 100 firms. In handing down what she acknowledged was a harsh sentence, U.S. District Judge Katharine Hayden in Newark said that Kluger's crime warranted such a stiff penalty because "it allows greedy, arrogant people to make money off others." The AmLaw Daily reports
Former Hawkins County judge James "Jay" Taylor was served Monday with 12 new theft-related charges, bringing the total charges against him to 53. Last week he was indicted by the Davidson County Grand Jury on 41 counts of theft related to fraudulent payment claims he made to the state while serving as judge. These new charges handed down by the Hawkins County Grand Jury are related to alleged thefts that occurred in his private practice. Taylor, 41, of Rogersville, remains held in the Davidson County Jail on $175,000 bond. The Times News has details
Employees at the Estes Kefauver Federal Building & Courthouse Annex in downtown Nashville were allowed back into the building at about 9:30 a.m. today after a caller said that a bomb would go off in it at 9 a.m. Homeland Security was called in with bomb-sniffing dogs to search the building, but did not find anything. NewsChannel5 reported
Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC has recognized more attorneys within the firm for their commitment to pro bono service. Tennessee lawyers honored are Marlene J. Bidelman, Chattanooga; Jennifer P. Keller, Johnson City and LeAnn Mynatt, Knoxville. Five in the Memphis office were honored earlier as the firm's Pro Bono Attorneys of the Year. Read more about each winner's work
Morristown attorneys will host a free legal clinic, called Hamblen Legal Link, on Thursday (June 7) from 5 to 7 p.m. This is the first in a series of clinics to be held on the first Thursday of each month. "The mission is to connect residents with local lawyers and social service organizations that are willing to provide free informatin and basic guidance to those who need it," Aaron Chapman says. Chapman and fellow Morristown attorney Dale Darby have organized the events, with the help of Beth Boniface who is providing her office for the clinics, at 1125 West First North Street. For more information visit facebook.com/HamblenLegalLink or email email@example.com
Speculation on the future direction of Miller & Martin Nashville office continues to grow, the Nashville Post reports, following the recent departure of Todd Presnell — a former partner and head of the firm's litigation department — who left Miller & Martin for the offices of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP. Last week, firm spokesperson Frederick Strobel told the Post that "a number of attorneys" were leaving. (Subscription required for Nashville Post access.)
In an interview with the Nashville Post, Aubrey B. Harwell Jr. talks about the city's legal community, including salaries of entry-level attorneys, the Nashville School of Law's 100th anniversary and how he feels about local law firm mergers. He also predicts that in the next five years there will be more national and international firms establish a presence in Nashville.
A motion filed late Friday afternoon in Knox County Criminal Court reveals that Special Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood is planning to enter an order granting new trials in the January 2007 torture slayings without holding a hearing and despite a recent state Supreme Court ruling faulting his legal reasoning. Assistant District Attorney General Leland Price, in turn, is asking Blackwood to recuse himself from the case, accusing the special judge of "all manner of judicial misconduct," the News Sentinel reports.
A New York state appeals court has overturned decades of precedent and ruled that calling someone gay is not slander per se. Prior rulings, the court wrote, were all "based on a false premise that it is shameful and disgraceful to be described as lesbian, gay or bisexual." Such a conclusion is "inconsistent with current public policy," particularly in light of New York's anti-discrimination and marriage equality laws. Read the Reuters story
Officials say a new law that requires Tennessee's doctors to use a drug-monitoring database and pharmacists to upload prescription information more often will allow state officials to determine which doctors are prescribing the most painkillers. Bill Gibbons, commissioner of the state Department of Safety and Homeland Security, who helped craft the bill, says he hopes the changes will make doctors more aware of the number of prescriptions they write and allow them to spot patients who are "doctor-shopping" to buy pain medication for an addiction or to resell. But some critics, including doctors, say the law puts a burden on all doctors rather than targeting the few who are careless or over-prescribe. Other critics say the law doesn't go far enough. The Times-Free Press has more

The Rutherford County Commission's Steering Committee last week recommended extending a general legal services agreement with County Attorney Jim Cope and his firm. The recommendation will include a resolution to contract with Cope for a flat fee rate of $259,000. Cope is currently paid a retainer and hourly rate, which causes fluctuation in costs, the Murfreesboro Post reports.

The U.S. Justice Department has asked a federal judge in Washington to keep sealed illegal wiretap recordings rooted in the Watergate scandal. It is not opposing release of some court papers sealed in the 1972 prosecution of G. Gordon Liddy. That information, DOJ lawyers said, includes bench conferences about evidentiary disputes and pretrial meetings in chambers. The agency is responding to a history professor's request seeking access to materials he believes could help answer lingering questions about the burglary that led to President Richard Nixon's resignation. DOJ lawyers argue that there is no First Amendment or public right of access to illegally obtained wiretaps, The Blog of Legal Times reports.

Construction of a controversial mosque in Murfreesboro can continue according to a ruling out today. Earlier this week, Chancellor Robert Corlew III found that county commissioners did not give proper notice before approving the new Islamic center, but a footnote in the order issued today said that does not mean work has to stop on the mosque, and that such a matter would have to be taken up separately.

Manchester's water: Raise a glass to Tom Bowen
If you don't know Bowen or his work, that really says a great deal about him and his management skills. Think about it. When was the last time you heard any great grumbling, any at all, really, about the city's water?
Water rates have been moderate. Water supply has been kept steady, through drought, flood or city expansion.
And as for water quality, Manchester's truly rates among the best in the country.
Our City Hall reporter, Ted Siefer, noted this in a recent Sunday column.
"While complex infrastructure systems rarely generate big headlines, it's worth noting that, under Bowen, the Water Works has gained national recognition for the quality and taste of the water it conveys through city taps," Siefer wrote.
Bowen began his city career in 1970 as an engineer. He has directed the agency since 1992.
He told Siefer he is proudest of his involvement in the construction of the water treatment plant on Lake Shore Road in the early 1970s and its rehabilitation in the 2000s.
"Water quality goes hand in hand with the treatment facility," he said. "Manchester has excellent water quality. It starts with having a good program in place to protect Lake Massabesic and the improvements that were completed in 2006, which will serve the community for at least another 20 years."
Bowen, like any good boss, credits his people.
"I'd be remiss if I did not say that we've always had very good people there, from the meter readers right through to the administrative staff and engineers. It's been a very dedicated group of people, and I really enjoyed my career there."
And the city, and this newspaper, would be remiss if we didn't all say thanks and a job well done to Tom Bowen.

This is shaping up to be a big year for OceansWatch as we make progress on our goal of "Saving the Ocean – one reef at a time."It is thanks to the sponsorship of UAEs bid to host the World Expo in 2020 that Magic Roundabout is on her way to the Pacific with Helen Beswick, Carla Deane, Andy Clarkson and Shannon Hurley.It is that time of year when all our volunteers are working like crazy to get the last minute things ready for the departure of the two OceansWatch vessels which will be working in the Pacific during the New Zealand winter.
This is Amick Houssaune filling boxes with first aid supplies for the communities that we will visit. Thanks to Medical aid abroad for donating the supplies for these and to Circa Marine (builders of Dashew yachts) for making the boxes. We are still looking for yachts heading from Opua to Port Vila to help deliver these boxes. Email email@example.com if you can help.
On Wednesday Magic Roundabout left Opua bound for Vanuatu. On board are Shannon Carla , two young graduates heading off for a life- changing experience as they work with communities in these remote islands to help them manage their dwindling fish resources. We have recently been well treated by Customs who have granted us an extension of the length of time Magic Roundabout can stay in New Zealand.

Last time I could barely squeeze everything that was going on into one column. This time, which includes Fourth of July week, it's a different story.
But not everybody heads down the shore or up the mountains. What about those of us who are staying in town for the fireworks and the Queen Latifah concert?
Just because there aren't any special events doesn't mean there's nothing going on. This time, let's take a look at all the regular weekly events that sometimes get lost in the shuffle.
Country Line Dancing
Get your weekly fix of country music and two-stepping Fridays from 7-11 p.m. at Woody's, 202 S. 13th St., with DJ Cliff Roberts. Get there early for the free lessons, from 7-7:45, and you'll be a pro in no time.
Frat House Fridays
Hang out with frat boys on Fridays from 10 p.m.-2 a.m. at ICandy, 254 S. 12th St. You must be 18 to enter and 21 to drink. They'll have hot DJs, hot dancing boys and cool summer drink specials. Cover is $5 for 21 and up or $10 for the youngsters.
Hangover Brunch
Nurse yourself back to life every Sunday from noon-4 p.m. at ICandy, 254 S. 12th St. The $20 all-you-can-eat brunch buffet, bottomless mimosas and half-price bloody Marys will have you on your feet in no time.
Looking for the Sunday brunch at Sisters? Don't worry: It's only on hiatus until fall.
Sinful Sundays
It's drag as only Tabu can do it, every Sunday from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. at Tabu, 200 S. 12th St., starring the Goddess Isis, Navaya Shay and Omyra Lynn. There's a $5 cover, which includes one drink ticket. This is the only drag show in town with an "open-mic" policy, so if you think you've got what it takes, be there before 10 and you might become their next star!
Big Boys with Big Toys

The Audit and Evaluation Project Team including V.

Report Prepared by the Evaluation Division, Audit and Evaluation Branch
As identified in the Departmental Audit and Evaluation Plan 2005/6 to 2007/8, an evaluation of the co-location of science research centres on university campuses was initiated because of potential risks associated with a relatively new delivery mechanism (co-location) and to ensure research centres continue to align with departmental needs.
This evaluation assessed the impact of co-locating Environment Canada's (EC) scientific research centres on university campuses with a focus on:
- the forecast benefits and synergies of co-location (e.g., with the university and wider community) versus those actually realized;
- the extent to which the science undertakings and results support departmental strategic outcomes and have the flexibility to respond to changing needs; and
- an examination of cost-effectiveness with regard to the decision to co-locate and annual operating costs (e.g., leases, agreements).
The National Wildlife Research Centre (NWRC) at Carleton University and the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling & Analysis (CCCma) at the University of Victoria were used as co-location case studies in this evaluation. The case studies are not meant to represent all of the EC co-location examples but rather provide two informative cases from which to learn.
The case studies vary considerably from one another and while they were both assessed against the same criteria it is important to note that they had different reasons for co-locating, have different space and facilities needs, and operate under very different mandates.
In order to assess the case studies, a logic model was developed which identified the predicted outcomes of co-location. For the purpose of this evaluation, the framework was used to assess two specific case studies; however, it could also be used as a framework to assess other examples of co-location in the future.
The evaluation examined the following four evaluation issues:
a) The issue of relevance assessed whether co-location addresses actual needs;
b) The issue of success focused on whether co-location was on track to meeting its intended outcomes;
c) The issue of cost-effectiveness investigated whether the most appropriate and efficient means were being used to achieve outcomes; and
d) Finally, the issue of design and delivery investigated the extent to which co-location is being designed and delivered in the best possible way.
In accordance with best practices, the approach for the evaluation involved the use of multiple methods including document review, interviews, and cost-effectiveness analysis.
The following represent the summary findings from this report by evaluation issue.
Evaluation Issue: Relevance
Beyond outcome project plans and mandates which are by their nature expected to align to departmental outcomes, there is limited information to determine the degree to which alignment to departmental strategic outcomes is present.
Evaluation Issue: Success
The reporting of the success issue is according to the three levels of outcomes [1] (immediate, intermediate, final) as well as unintended outcomes.
a) Immediate Outcomes
In the case of the CCCma, there is evidence of the achievement of all of the immediate outcomes (increased access to students, knowledge, specialized facilities, and increased leveraging of resources). In the case of NWRC, there is limited evidence and achievement of the following outcomes: access to students, knowledge and specialized facilities; the outcome on increased leveraging of resources was not achieved.
b) Intermediate Outcomes
For the CCCma, there is evidence of the achievement of intermediate outcomes (increased synergy and scientific capacity). For the NWRC, there is limited evidence and achievement of the intermediate outcomes.
c) Final Outcomes
There is evidence of the achievement of the final outcome (scientific research that supports departmental strategic and intermediate outcomes and OPG results) for the CCCma and limited evidence and achievement for the NWRC, however the achievement of this outcome appears to be un-related to co-location.
d) Unintended Outcomes – Centre specific
A number of unintended outcomes were identified that were specific to the individual case studies.
Evaluation Issue: Cost-Effectiveness
There is insufficient data and information to determine whether or not co-location was cost-effective.
Evaluation Issue: Design and Delivery
The reporting of the design and delivery issue is separated into two areas: alternative designs for collaborative arrangements and best practices/lessons learned.
a) Alternative Designs for Collaborative Arrangements
A number of factors influence the impacts of co-location, includingtype of agreement (between university and federal department), building occupancy, and staff size.
b) Best Practices/Lessons-learned
A number of lessons learned were gathered that can be grouped by two broad themes: facilities and building partnerships.
In conclusion, this evaluation should be useful in further thinking about the benefits of co-location, particularly in the context of discussions to develop the new Science and Technology Plan, due for completion in fall 2006.
The case studies and information gathered from other examples of co-location demonstrate that there can be clear benefits to co-location. These benefits vary considerably by individual case however, and are directly linked to the reasons for co-location.
There are a number of different reasons for co-location which impact the level to which the outcomes of co-location are achieved. It is therefore, critical to look at co-location in terms of the overall context of the partnership. The most common reasons for co-location include relocating to enhance a scientific knowledge base and build synergies with a wider community (partnership focus), relocating to seek financial or cost-sharing benefits that may result from being co-located (financial focus), and relocating to build or replace a scientific facility (facility focus). In certain cases all of these reasons for relocation are present while in others there is one dominant reason.
Given the findings that were identified by evaluating the two case studies it is possible that improvements could be made at both centres (e.g., enhancing/developing the relationship between the Centre and the host department) that would enhance their co-location outcomes. These decisions, however, are not limited solely to improving the impacts of co-location; they are also dependent on related management decisions and the overall context for the centres' operations. Furthermore, the information learned through this evaluation would be useful in assessing other existing co-location arrangements as well as future co-location opportunities.
The following are the two recommendations that resulted from the evaluation:
- The ADM, Science and Technology, should review, by December 2006, the findings for each of the case studies (CCCma and NWRC) and assess whether actions are necessary to improve their co-location outcomes.
- In the future, when considering the function of existing co-location arrangements or creating new ones, the ADM, Science and Technology should:
a. Consider other centres that are co-located on university campuses that were not included in this evaluation and use this evaluation as a framework to assess those centres to determine the impact of co-location;
b. Apply the lessons learned from the case studies to improve future co-location decisions; and
c. Ensure that the general needs for performance measurement/documentation are met in order to be able to assess co-location and determine its impacts. It should be noted that the ADM, Finance and Corporate is also responsible for documentation as Assets, Contracting and Environmental Management falls under this responsibility and plays a key role in the physical relocation of facilities.
Management Response: Recommendation 1
The ADM, Science and Technology commits to review, by December 2006, the findings for each of the case studies and assess whether actions are necessary to improve their co-location outcomes.
Management Response: Recommendation 2
In the future, when considering the function of existing co-location arrangements or creating new ones, the ADM, Science and Technology, will use this evaluation as a framework to assess the impact of co-location and to apply the lessons learned from these case studies.
The ADM, Science and Technology, jointly with the ADM, Finance and Corporate, will review the general needs for performance measurement/documentation and communicate the results of this review to Branch managers in order to ensure that these needs are met and that the effectiveness and impact of future co-locations can be assessed.

Borders of Paradise: In the Eyes of Explorers
Imagined and exaggerated depictions of the new continent and its offerings persisted through the nineteenth century, satisfying the appetites of curious Europeans hungry for tales of mysterious, lost paradises and evolving primitive worlds. This exhibition will feature maps, etchings and engravings, many of which appeared in literary works, which helped to reinforce and shape the Old World's skewed perception of life in the New World. Curated by Cynthia Duval of the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Daytona Beach.
Six Degrees of Seperate Nations: Ebony G Patterson and Peterson Kamwathi
Two artists from vastly different parts of the world, Jamaica and Kenya, investigate identity. Despite the vast distance between them, they ironically share much in common. The influence of colonialism and the repercussions of colonial history have impacted how these artists perceive themselves today, as well as how they place themselves in proximity to the "other." Curated by Claire Breukel, the exhibition will feature a collaborative installation where the artists will meet for the first time and respond to each other's work.

Six teams will gather tomorrow at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia for their practice session for the ISAF Nations Cup 2011 Regional Final Oceania, sailing in the Elliott 6.0m boats.
Three teams representing Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia will compete in the open division, with three teams from Australia, New Zealand and Japan competing in the Women's division.
Laurie Jury (NZL) and his crew of Logan Fraser and Michael Edmonds are the highest ISAF ranked open team (29). Jury recently finished fourth in the Korea Match Cup qualifier earlier this month and placed first in the New Zealand qualifier in March this year. He has also competed in several European regattas last year.
Evan Walker (AUS) is the highest ranked Australian and second highest ranked for this event (43). Walker qualified for this event after winning the Australian Match Racing Championship in November last year with a mixed crew that included Olivia Price, Amanda Scrivenor and Jack Hubbard.
Walker has stamped himself as one of the nation's outstanding young match racing helmsmen after this win. He then went on to win the Colin Mullins International Youth Regatta and Warren Jones International Youth Regatta that provide him entry into some of the most high profile international match racing events throughout this year; including the Korea Match Cup where Walker finished third and the Open de Espana where he placed seventh.
Representing New Caledonia, Tugdual Piriou and his team of Remy Desbordes, Josselin Dupont and Alexandre Plantey are the only non ranked team competing in the open division.
Olivia Price (AUS) is the highest ranked women's skipper currently ranked 61, and will sail with Nina Curtis, Haylee Outteridge and Rayshele Martin for this event. Price is a member of the Australian Women's Match Racing team in training for the 2012 Olympics, and won the CYCA's Marinassess Women's Match Racing regatta with fellow AWMRT team members Nicky Souter, Nina Curtis and Olympian Karyn Gojnich in February this year. Price qualified for this event after finishing second in the Australian Women's Match Racing Championship to New Zealand's Stephanie Hazard.
Maiko Sata and her crew of Makiko Matsuishi, Chie Takeuchi and Satsuki Ogawa will represent Japan in the Women's division. A previous Olympian in 2000 and 2004, Sata is also an accomplished Laser sailor and has been competing recently in open match racing events in Japan
Olivia Powrie and her crew of Miranda Powrie, Jo Aleh and Merran Walbridge will represent New Zealand after qualifying first in the New Zealand Women's Match Racing Championship in March this year. Powrie is also an accomplished 470 sailor having won the 470 title in Princess Sofia World Cup last month and placing second in the 470 world championships last year.
The winner of each division receives an invitation to Nations Cup Final to be held in Sheboygan, USA in September 2011. The ISAF Nations Cup was first introduced to the world in 1991 as an Open event, with the Women's division being added in 1993. The Cup is based on a series of Regional Finals with the top crews meeting at the Grand Final.
Following on from earlier editions in 1991, 1993 and 1995, the ISAF Nations Cup was successfully re-launched in 2006 with over 50 nations competing. Eight Regional Finals decided the line up for the Grand Final at the Royal Cork Yacht Club, where France completed a double triumph in the open and women's events with teams led by skippers Mathieu Richard and Claire Leroy. Leroy and Damien Iehl again triumphed for France in the ISAF Nations Cup 2009 held in Brazil.
Racing commences in the ISAF Nations Cup 2011 Regional Final Oceania on Thursday 12 May at 1015hrs with the Bureau of Meteorology predicting west to south westerly wind of 15 to 20 knots decreasing to 10 to 15 knots during the afternoon and will be sailed in the vicinity of Rushcutters Bay. The event will conclude on Saturday 14 May 2011 when the finals will be conducted.

The Nursery has an open admissions policy; all children are welcome to attend. We feed into Holmwood House Prep School and also into other primary schools in the local and surrounding areas.

for indoors and the garden encourage the children to participate
in a wide variety of activities.

What is wrong with denim on denim ?
I have a lovely denim jacket which only seems to go well with denim jeans.
Problem is in my head I can wear both together because of niggling voices in my head saying 'don't wear denim on denim'. What's wrong with it? |

It can look good, if the wearer wears the denim well.
I can't wear it, am too old and not 'cool' enough IMO. If I was younger and cooler I'd wear clashing denim, as I think the same shade of denim can look a little silly, but again it all comes down to the person wearing it. |

Some of us were sentient adults in the 80's and its not fair that someone can suddenly appear round a corner wearing denim on denim, it throws us into a premature menopause. I reckon it might be OK if you wore a bell or something
Seriously though, if you're a young hipster go for it, what the hell! |

Double denim had a revival about 2 or 3 years ago. (I remember Alexa Chung going on about it on some TV show.) I don't think it's still fashionable now, but I've always thought it looks good!

Some people carry it off, some don't. If you feel good in them you WILL look good so go for it! (unless you're deluded and in a mid-life crisis etc.)
I also think if it's a pair of skinny denim jeans with a jacket it looks a lot better than normal jeans. |

Double denim is back in, although I still think you need to be careful. For example, if you're wearing denim jeans and a denim jacket, make sure they're not the same colour.

Double denim can look ridiculous of worn right, but I sometimes wear denim jackets and black jeans, which looks perfectly fine.

Load of crap. There is nothing wrong with wearing a 'double denim'. The only rule you should stick to, in my opinion. is not to wear shoes with jeans - trainers or boots only.

Sorry but double denim looks awful.
It doesn't matter if the denim matches or is different colours, either way it still looks awful. There is a guy in my work who wears jeans and an almost-same-colour denim shirt every Friday. Everybody thinks he looks ridiculous. He doesn't care, fair enough, good for him (but that doesn't change the fact that he DOES look awful). The problem, for me anyway, is that if you can't wear a denim jacket with jeans then what do you wear it with? As a result I never wear denim jackets anymore and haven't since it stopped being acceptable to wear double denim. |

Admitted Ponzi Schemer Claims Innocence, Says Attorney Coerced Him To Plead Guilty
After pleading guilty five years ago to masterminding a $29 million Ponzi scheme, a 76-year old Pennsylvania man now wants a federal judge to allow him to stand trial on claims that his now-deceased defense attorney "coerced" him to plead guilty when, in fact, he was not. Wesley A. Snyder, serving a 12-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to a single charge of mail fraud in 2007, appeared before United States District Court Judge Yvette Kane yesterday, claiming now that he never intended to defraud any of his 800+ victims. Instead, he claimed, his representations to the contrary in his plea agreement were made at the direction of his then-lawyer.
Snyder operated Personal Financial Management, which offered "wrap mortgage" and "equity slide down" mortgages to consumers. These types of mortgages typically featured a consumer who borrowed more money than necessary to mortgage or refinance their homes, with the understanding that the excess funds would be invested with the goal of reducing their interest rate and/or paying the loan off earlier than scheduled.
However, investors were later shocked to discover that not only had Snyder failed to invest their excess funds as promised, but that they were on the hook for the large mortgages originally taken out. When Snyders' companies ceased operations in 2007, the difference between the amount of funds purportedly paid to mortgage lenders and the actual amount was over $36 million. Rather than make the promised mortgage payments, Snyder used a majority of investor funds to pay company operating expenses and hide millions of dollars in company losses.
After he was arrested, Snyder enlisted the services of criminal defense lawyer Emmanuel H. Dimitriou. Snyder ended up pleading guilty to a single count of mail fraud, which carried a maximum sentence of twenty years in prison. In 2008, Judge Kane handed down a 12-year sentence to Snyder.
Now, Snyder claims in a 30-page filing that Dimitriou (who is since deceased) pressured him to plead guilty, telling him he could face up to 800 years in prison - one year for every victim. Despite agreeing that the plea agreement was "completely correct" at his sentencing, Snyder now claims that at least 22 of those facts are incorrect. Despite these apparent errors, Snyder claims that Dimitriou "badgered" him to respond to Judge Kane's questions in the affirmative. Additionally, Snyder claims that Dimitriou's judgment was impaired due to medication Dimitriou was taking for cancer. Had Dimitriou reviewed the allegations with Snyder, which Snyder claims never happened, Snyder alleges he would have chosen to go to trial.
Snyder's prosecutor has opposed the claims, noting that Snyder was repeatedly advised of his rights, asked whether he had had a chance to review the allegations with his attorney, and asked whether he was entering into the plea agreement on his own free will. Each time, noted the prosecutor, Snyder answered yes. Additionally, Dimitriou's son-in-law and former law partner joined the prosecutor in opposing Snyder, noting that while Snyder may not have originally had criminal intent, the scheme's spiraling out of control certainly ended with criminal intent.
Both sides will now submit written briefings based on Friday's hearing.

The Josh McDaniels legacy is alive and well in Denver. And Tim Tebow is the reason.
In the months prior to the 2010 NFL draft, Josh McDaniels, then head coach of the Denver Broncos, met with legendary Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and began making plans to draft him. McDaniels, known for his ability to get the most out of QB talent, saw in Tebow a franchise leader who could use his unique blend of skills to lead the Denver Broncos to the Promised Land.
Tebow, he hoped, would define the McDaniels era, quickly seizing the reigns from Kyle Orton and never looking back. Orton, who had been brought in through the trade with Chicago that expelled Jay Cutler, was a suitable place holder for the collegial collegiate, good enough to win games for the Broncos whilst his heir apparent was groomed at the hands of the offensive genius who had made Matt Cassell shine in New England.
Tim Tebow became the face of the new Denver Broncos the moment he stepped off the plane. His upbeat persona and clean-cut, Christian image resonated with Broncos fans who wasted little time investing the same hopes in him that Josh McDaniels had. Tebow's #15 Broncos jerseys skyrocketed to the top of the charts in sales while followers flocked to Dove Valley to catch a glimpse of the boy wonder.
Very early in the 2010 season Tebow was given opportunities to demonstrate his superior scrambling skills in third-down and goal line situations. The Broncos were a 2-quarteback team. Tebow ran the "Wild Horses" and launched bombs down the sidelines in his substitution role. We all salivated at the notion of Tim Tebow as the one-and-only future starter.
What nobody saw coming was the firing of Josh McDaniels. Pat Bowlen grew tired of McDaniels act. We all did. Josh McDaniels was not ready to be the head coach of an NFL franchise. He was immature, foul-mouthed and dishonest. He had lost the Broncos locker room - and the support of the fanbase - almost entirely in the span of only two seasons. With McDaniels' departure came the uncertainty that now surrounds Tim Tebow.
There is very little question that, if Josh McDaniels were still the head man for the Broncos, Tebow would now be the one-and-only. McDaniels had staked his reputation on it. His ego simply would not have let him back off on his allegiance.
Even in the wake of McDaniels' firing, the new regime in Denver, lead by General Manager (and defacto owner) John Elway and newly hired head coach, John Fox, had every intention of trading Kyle Orton and elevating Tebow. A trade never developed, however, and neither did Tebow.
Forced to open camp with Orton still at the helm, Elway and Fox, along with the fans at Broncos practices, quickly saw a clear divide between Orton and Tebow in terms of ability to lead the offense. The new regime felt it had little choice but to relegate Tim Tebow back to the number two role. It's difficult enough installing an entirely new system without having to coach up a young quarterback who has not done his homework.
The NFL lockout was a blow to Tim Tebow's development. While he is a natural talent in many respects, he is not known for his mastery of NFL timing. Widely considered a "project", Tebow needed time to work with trainers and coaches during the off-season. John Fox needed time to evaluate him. Players were not allowed at facilities, though, thus the lockout set Tebow's development back – and it showed in camp.
Tebow's reputation has become that of a "bad practice player". Few people question his ability to make magical things happen on a football field. The Bronco's offense, however is not magical. It's not smoke and mirrors. It's a simple run-first approach that favors a methodical pocket passer with immaculate timing. It favors Kyle Orton.
For Fox and friends to name Tim Tebow the starter for the Denver Broncos they will first need to adapt the system to fit him. Therein lays the problem with Tim Tebow. He's not a quarterback that picks up a coach's offense. He's an enigma who demands the coach picks up on him. He's Michael Vick before he went to prison. The offense must run through him for him to be effective.
Will the Broncos offense ever run through Tim Tebow? That's the million dollar question. If it never does, Tim Tebow will be an unqualified bust. If it someday does, Tim Tebow could become the next great Broncos Legend. It seems as if there is no in-between.
Kyle Orton is likely to remain the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos as long as the Broncos are winning enough games to keep them in contention to win the AFC West. Elway and Fox will not gamble on Tim Tebow if there is a hint of a possibility of the Broncos reaching the playoffs. If, at some point in the 2011 season, they conclude that there is no hope of a post-season berth, they will probably throw Tebow out there again and give him a chance to win the job in 2012.
Orton will probably leave Denver by 2013 at the latest. He will be a free agent after this year. If the Broncos want to keep him around they will hang the franchise tag on him and pay out the nose for his services in 2012. I believe that, if they do that, the window for Tim Tebow will all but be shut. The Broncos will go back to the well and draft another young superstar to elevate instead. The 2012 draft is projected to offer the finest crop of quarterbacks ever.
No Bronco since Elway himself has caused such a stir in Colorado. Love him or hate him, you can't take your eyes off Tim Tebow. For him never to become the man here would be a blow to the Broncos Franchise. Fans would look back and lament what might have been.
Wide Receiver, Brandon Lloyd, talked about "the Tebow thing" in referring to the quandary the Broncos find themselves in. Josh McDaniels' legacy is alive and well in Denver, Colorado. By drafting Tim Tebow he left the Broncos dazed and confused and the fans in an absolute uproar.
