I'm an Exotic girl very nicely shaped with a fit voluptuous body..
I'm 5'9, 38c, curly hair, dark brown eyes and perfect caramel skin...
I love when a men gets turned on by my big ass and huge tits, and I have no problems flaunting them!
There are some guys in the neighborhood that always stop and stare when I walk by, and I know they've never had a chance to fuck an exotic pussy like mine.
Just the thought of them sliding their hard cocks between my pillowy soft pussy lips makes me hot and wet and my nipples aching to be sucked on.

Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) is an exotic beetle that feeds on ash (Fraxinus sp.) trees. Larvae feed in the phloem and outer sapwood, producing galleries that eventually girdle and kill branches and entire trees. This native of Asia was first discovered in southeastern Michigan in July 2002. On April 21, 2004, EAB was confirmed in Indiana. Since that time, this forest pest has spread throughout Indiana and the surrounding states.
If you need assistance with EAB identification or would like to report a new location, please let us know.
Indiana's EAB Quarantine was lifted in October 2016. At this time, EAB has been detected in 88 of 92 counties. While the restrictions on moving firewood and ash wood within Indiana have been lifted, we still encourage everyone to obtain firewood locally and burn it completely. Firewood movement into state owned property is still restricted by the DNR Property Firewood Rule. The Thousand Cankers Disease Quarantine restricts firewood from coming into Indiana from certain states. Please contact your Nursery Inspector for more information on these restrictions.

text: I aN GROWING CONCERNED ABOUT MY HPWC. I have had the car and charger for almost a year. For the second time it has stopped working. The first time TESLA came out and fixed it. This time they say they are sending out an electrician to change it because they can not fix it. Fortunately it is under warranty. It is a great car but very disconcerting if i am unable to use it. Have others had many issues? Do most get a back up 40amp wall charger installed as a back up? Has anyone compared charging through 40 amps vs 80 as far as cost and efficiency?

School Slaying Suspect Pleads Guilty
A man accused of stabbing eight children to death at an elementary school in western Japan pleaded guilty in court Thursday.
Mamoru Takuma, 38, admitted to the mass killing in June at Ikeda Elementary School when he appeared at the Osaka District Court, said court spokesman Norihisa Matsumoto.
Takuma had a history of schizophrenia, but psychiatrists reportedly determined he could tell right from wrong and was fit to stand trial. Police have quoted Takuma, a former janitor, as saying he wants to be put to death.
The attack at the school in the suburbs of Osaka, a major city 250 miles west of Tokyo, led to calls for greater security at schools. Takuma allegedly entered the school unopposed and went from classroom to classroom knifing children.
Seven girls and one boy were killed, while 13 other children and two teachers were injured.
After the slaying, Ikeda Elementary School introduced an ID card system for school employees and parents.

Your letter of 1 September 2001 addressed to
Alan Milburn raised a number of questions about the decision to
lay the above order. I am responding on his behalf.
I shall address each of the points raised by
the Committee in turn.
Question 1: Did you consider seeking leave to
appeal to the House of Lords against the Court of Appeal's interpretation
of the 1983 Act, and, if so, what persuaded you that it would
be preferable to accept the Court of Appeal's restrictive interpretation.
We gave very careful consideration to the question
of appeal but decided not to pursue that course on the basis of
advice that there would be no realistic prospect of success. We
understand that there was no discernible error of law in the judgement
of the Court of Appeal and an application for leave to appeal
to the House of Lords had been refused by the Court of Appeal.
In addition the judgement was not out of line with the direction
of Government policy intentions for new mental health legislation
as set out in the White Paper Reforming the Mental Health Act
Question 2: Do you have any information about
the number of patients who might be in this position, with grounds
for applications to the European Court of Human Rights in respect
of their continued detention, until such time as the law is brought
into line with ECHR Article 5 and their cases are considered or
reconsidered by a Tribunal?
The Committee's comment in the pre-amble to
this question indicates that at least one patient (I assume H)
has been detained contrary to his Convention rights. I am not
persuaded that this is what the judgement says.
The Tribunal's written decision is ambiguous
as to whether there is a positive finding of mental disorder in
the case of H (see paragraph 6 of the judgment". .
. this patient is (a) still exhibiting symptoms of his illness,
namely the hearing of voices . . ."). This specific issue
was not addressed in the Court of Appeal's judgment which focused
on the abstract question of whether the test was compatible, not
whether H had been treated compatibly. It remains unclear whether
a positive finding of mental disorder warranting detention was
actually made, and hence unclear whether H's detention was at
any time contrary to Article 5.
Paragraphs 33 and 34 of the judgement cast further
doubt as to whether H was ever detained contrary to Article 5.
A clear analogy is drawn between the circumstances of the case
of H and the case of M and reference is made to the difficult
question of schizophrenia in relation to Tribunal discharge. Here,
the Court of Appeal suggests that schizophrenia, even when in
remission, enables the Tribunal to make the positive findings
necessary to satisfy Article 5 (albeit it is unclear whether they
did so in this case). The Court of Appeal then go on to say in
paragraph 34 that "it is only rarely that the provisions
of ss 72 and 73 constrain an MHRT to refuse an order of discharge
where the continued detention of the patient infringes Article
The Committee may wish to note that when H's
case came back before the Tribunal in August this year, the Tribunal
made a positive finding of a mental disorder of a nature and degree
warranting detention in hospital. As a result, H is subject to
continuing detention.
Turning now to the Committee's question, we
are not aware of any patients whose Convention rights are being
breached as a result of the incompatible provisions.
My Department issued Guidance to Tribunal Chairmen
on 5 April 2001. It provides:
Hence, patients whose continued detention is
contrary to article 5 should be easily detectable. To date, no
such cases have been brought to the Department's attention by
patient representatives (over 95 per cent of patients have legal
representation before the Tribunal) or the Tribunal. We understand
that the Regional Chairmen of the Tribunal are not aware of any
such cases.
We would not expect there to be any unrestricted
patients detained contrary to Article 5 given the Tribunal's absolute
discretion to order a discharge in any such case.
The same discretion does not extend to restricted
patients. That said, it remains the Court of Appeal's view that
it will "rarely" be the case that detention will be
contrary to Article 5 where the Tribunal refuses a discharge.
Question 3: What led you to decide against using
the "urgent cases" procedure for making a remedial order
under the Human Rights Act 1998, Schedule 2, paragraph 2(b) and
(4) which would have allowed the amendment of the law to take
effect at once, instead of delaying the opportunity for the patients
to seek their discharge until a date which is unlikely to be earlier
than March 2002?
Choosing between the urgent and non-urgent procedures
was not clear-cut.
The decision required balancing the potential
interference with patient's Convention rights against the need
for Parliamentary scrutiny of a proposal to change primary legislation.
The non-urgent procedure allows for a period
of consultation after which the draft order can be amended. With
the urgent procedure, there is no opportunity for the House or
its Committees to ask for changes until after the order has been
made. There is then no obligation on the Government to make any
change. The non-urgent procedure allies itself more closely with
the Parliamentary procedure used to scrutinise Bills. It provides
a higher level of Parliamentary scrutiny.
The non-urgent procedure was adopted in the
light of the fact that the Court of Appeal thought the Tribunal
would rarely be constrained to refuse discharge in Violation of
Article 5, and we had no evidence that any patient was currently
Question 4: Please will you inform the Committee
of any steps which you propose to take to make available sufficient
compensation to avoid a situation in which the United Kingdom
is in breach of its obligations in international law under those
Articles of the ECHR?
We do not envisage a statutory compensation
scheme. This is not least because the number of people who are
actually affected, if any, is expected to be very low. In light
of the very small number of possible violations, we consider that
a readiness to address complaints on a case by case basis would
be a more flexible and efficient response, and one less open to
vexatious applications.
Where a patient is able to demonstrate that
were it not for the double negative part of the test he would
have been discharged, the Government will pay compensation. It
seems likely that any intended application to Strasbourg will
be notified to my Department prior to issue and the question of
compensation can be looked at then. Under the guidance issued
by my Department in April any problems should be picked up long
before then. I would anticipate that the level of any compensation
awards would be in line with Strasbourg levels and not domestic
We recognise that a legally enforceable right
to a remedy for breach of a Convention right is preferable, as
a long-term solution, to an ad hoc response of the kind
described. Indeed, I understand that it is the model provided
by the Human Rights Act for breaches that are unlawful as a matter
of domestic law. However, we believe that an ex gratia
response is appropriate here, in the short term, where the detention
is not unlawful domestically. Our international obligations not
to detain people in breach of Article 5 are being anticipated
and met by the Remedial Order itself.

GSA Mixed-Signal/RF Subcommittee Is Facilitating an Analog Ecosystem
October/November 2008
By Dr. Marco Racanelli
Outsourcing the manufacturing for analog technology is creating a new supply chain. It also is supporting an ecosystem that mirrors the already well-established method that's used for digital technology. The world of analog, however, is more highly customized. It also is less easily standardized than the world of digital. This aspect creates unique challenges in supporting an efficient disintegrated supply chain. Recognizing these challenges, the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) has formed the Mixed-Signal/Radio Frequency (RF) Subcommittee.
This subcommittee's work is helping to standardize the interface between many aspects of the analog supply chain. As a result, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) can more easily and efficiently augment their capabilities by partnering with outside manufacturers and creating environments that support a fab-light or fabless analog industry. The subcommittee helps to link an ecosystem of analog product companies with foundries, electronic design automation (EDA), intellectual property (IP), and other required infrastructure. In doing so, it helps to create an efficient support ecosystem for the analog industry of the future.

Joanne Itow, Managing Director
Tower Semiconductor and Jazz Semiconductor have taken a big step which sets them up to uniquely meet the needs of many companies looking for a foundry partner to provide a solution to their manufacturing challenges. The merger of Tower and Jazz brings together a number of complementary ingredients. Tower has a strong presence in embedded non-volatile memory and image sensor technologies while Jazz has always been known for its BiCMOS, SiGe, RF CMOS, and power/BCD technologies.
The customers of Tower and Jazz had very little overlap making the combined business much more broadly based. In addition, the combined manufacturing capacity now has a worldwide presence with an opportunity to operate in a much more efficient manner. Tower also has a proven track record of successful technology transfers for both specialty and legacy products.
Since Russell Ellwanger took charge of Tower in May 2005, the company has consistently improved its manufacturing operation and expanded its customer base. The merger with Jazz will position the company to be an even stronger player in the very fast growing specialty foundry arena. The name of the game is definitely survival of the fittest.
Tower Semiconductor Ranked by Deloitte Israel as One of "2008 Technology Fast 50" for the Second Year in a Row Based on Five-Year Revenue Growth
Tower Semiconductor was selected as one of the 2008 Deloitte Israel "Technology Fast 50", a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Israel, for the second year in a row. The program ranks Israeli technology companies based on their five-year revenue growth between 2003 and 2007.
.Making the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is a testament to the company's commitment to technology", said Asher Mechlovich, partner in charge of the Deloitte Brightman Almagor Zohar Israel "Technology Fast 50" Program. "With its 276% growth rate over five years, Tower Semiconductor has proven that its leadership has the vision and determination to grow even in difficult conditions."

Foundries Tower and Jazz complete merger
September 2008
The merger between chip foundries Tower Semiconductor Ltd and Jazz Technologies, Inc. has been completed. Both Jazz Technologies and its subsidiary, Jazz Semiconductor, Inc., will now became wholly owned subsidiaries of Tower Semiconductor.
The move combines Tower's strength in CMOS image sensor, non-volatile memory and RF CMOS with Jazz's expertise in mixed signal, power management and RF. The companies stress the merger creates significant cross-selling opportunities from Tower to Jazz customers and from Jazz to Tower customers. Tower also expands its fab portfolio. The company has its fabs in Israel. Jazz has a fab in Newport Beach and has capacity agreements with various foundries in China. In total, the combined company offers capacity of approximately 750,000 8-inch wafer starts annually.
Russell Ellwanger, Tower's chief executive officer, will take over as chairman of Jazz, and will be responsible for developing final details of the merged organizational structure and the integration plan over the next months. Ellwanger commented: "We expect the merger of the two companies to provide expanded opportunities for growth based on the significant cross-selling opportunities and the broader, more complete product, technology, and service portfolio we are now able to offer to customers. These opportunities further enhance the immediate benefits we expect the merger to provide to our cost structure, which when combined with the recently announced anticipated restructuring of our debt, we expect to result in significant improvements to our financial results, EBITDA and cash flow margins, as well as greatly improve the balance sheet of the combined company."
Customers' Needs Come First and Foremost
September 2008
by Samir Chaudhry, Manager, Modeling and Characterization, Jazz
From an IC foundry perspective, a dedicated understanding of evolving customer expectations is an important factor when developing a new product. In addition, providing customers with design enablement tools is key to first time success. In the case of designing new integrated circuits (ICs), customer requirements often include achieving optimal performance; customizing designs while still reducing design cycle time; managing costs, and; realizing quick time-to-market.
When customization is required by customers, modular and proven process technology platforms are the foundation for first time success. With a goal of reducing time-to-market and prototyping costs, best-in-class design automation tools are imperative. Design enablement tools, including silicon verified device models and flexible design environments, allow customers to test, modify and improve the functionality and yield of new products on the computer long before the first prototype is manufactured.
Managing costs, both during the prototyping and production phase, is key to managing an omnipresent customer expectation on value. In summary, maintaining open lines of communication with customers is critical in successfully achieving overall product development satisfaction and accelerating time-to-revenue.
Jazz Semiconductor Expands AIMS Functionality with Adoption of Cadence Virtuoso IC 6.1 Custom Design Platform
September 8, 2008
Jazz announced availability of the Jazz IC 6.1 process design kit (PDK) for Cadence Design Systems' Virtuoso® IC 6.1 custom design platform in Jazz's 0.18-micron SiGe BiCMOS process (SBC18). The collaboration between Jazz and Cadence on integrated radio frequency/mixed-signal (RF/MS) platforms reduces time-to-market for AIMS products.
The adoption of IC 6.1 enables Jazz to improve the analog simulation and layout capabilities over previous generations. It provides customer focused solutions through an AIMS environment improving modeling and accuracy, enabling first silicon success for a greater time-to-market advantage. By supporting the RF and analog/mixed-signal (AMS) kits, customers have access to RF, analog and digital design technology to help them streamline the design of complex mixed-signal chips.
Silicon TV tuners kick the CAN
Until the most recent product announcements, silicon tuners have fallen well short of the performance offered by hand-tuned CAN tuners. But one company in particular seems to have focused on achieving the best possible silicon solutions for fixed TV tuners: Xceive.
Xceive is now selling its fourth-generation TV tuner product: the XC5000. The tuner is claimed to exceed the performance of traditional CAN tuners from companies such as Philips, Samsung, Thomson and Panasonic, blowing away other silicon tuners.
Xceive claims better performance in both digital sensitivity (greater than a 2-dBm improvement) and analog performance (a 2- to 5-dB improvement in SNR) over premium CAN tuners. (The XC5000 was fabricated using Jazz Semiconductor's 0.18-µm SiGe BiCMOS process).
Smallest Jazz process offers lean, green chips
Jazz Semiconductor has quadrupled the cutoff frequency that chips made in its SiGe fab can achieve, boosting its challenge to rival silicon and GaAs technologies. By cutting the size of its lithographic process from 0.35 µm to 0.18 µm the Newport Beach, California, company has boosted peak cutoff frequency, fT, from 50 GHz to 200 GHz. This enhances the advantage that devices made with the process have over RF CMOS, and can convert to energy efficiency improvements where high frequencies aren't needed. At the International Microwave Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 17, Jazz claimed that 0.18 µm SiGe fabrication can now provide a 30 percent efficiency advantage over silicon. Even with the new process in place, Jazz feels that GaAs retains a strong hold on applications at frequencies above 5 GHz. However it is confident it can compete below 5 GHz, and can more readily integrate different functions in CMOS. That includes the possibility of integrating a silicon transceiver, with an RF power amplifier, switch and logic functionality. This integration has been aided by a new process based on a layer of n-doped SiGe sandwiched vertically between two p-doped SiGe layers, christened 'vertical PNP'. .Vertical PNP does precision analog functions like data conversion and timing,. Mahlen said. .Having a vertical PNP to complement our high-speed, high-end NPN is very attractive, there's really nobody out there that is selling that today.
Jazz Announces SiGe BiCMOS Technology for Green, Energy Efficient Analog IC
Jazz Semiconductor recently announced its 0.18-micron Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS platform (SBC18) that enables customers to deliver next generation green, energy efficient analog ICs. Jazz's modular process technology offers significant power and efficiency savings over standard CMOS. The SBC18 platform incorporates high speed, standard, and high breakdown SiGe Bipolar transistors, or SiGe NPNs, for low noise, high switching speeds and better linearity than can be achieved with a typical 0.18-micron CMOS offering, for applications where those features are required. For a given performance level, Jazz's SiGe NPN provides up to 30% power savings over standard CMOS for high speed precision analog circuits using Current Mode Logic (CML). Jazz also announced a Vertical PNP (VPNP) module for SBC18 which can be paired with a SiGe NPN to enable the design of analog circuits that require high voltage, complementary drive or amplification beyond the capability of standard CMOS. Jazz's VPNP showcases a low capacitance, high current drive, and high breakdown voltage that enable up to 30% efficiency improvements yielding power and die area savings for output stage and power applications.
Tower Semi strengthens analog-intensive mixed signal foundry service with Jazz acquisition
Creating what the companies believe is the leading specialty pure-play foundry with trailing 12 month revenues of $443 million, the two foundries are coming together to offer specialty processes including CMOS image sensors (visible and non-visible), radio frequency (RF CMOS, SiGe and BiCMOS) and power management (CMOS and BCD). With operational facilities now spanning the globe with three fully owned fabrication facilities in the US and Israel, along with an ownership interest in a fab in China, Tower believes this is a significant opportunity to boost its revenue and realize as much as $40 million in annual cost savings through synergies of the combined businesses. We are confident that we will realize significant benefits and synergies, including a comprehensive process portfolio which expands our addressable market and fuels a growing and more diversified customer base with highly differentiated product platforms, commented Russell Ellwanger, CEO of Tower, in a statement.
Tower Semi buys Jazz Technologies
Expanding its efforts in the specialty foundry arena, Tower Semiconductor Ltd. has signed a deal to acquire Jazz Technologies Inc. The move will expand Tower's worldwide presence. In an interview, an executive from Jazz insisted that the merger makes sense. The technologies from Tower and Jazz are ''complementary'' -- and not competitive, said Chuck Fox, vice president of sales and marketing of Jazz. The companies bring together Tower's strength in CMOS image sensor, non-volatile memory and RF CMOS with Jazz's expertise in mixed signal, power management and RF. ''The acquisition creates economies of scale, which allows for improved margins and strongly complements our specialty process offering, transforming us into the leading specialty pure-play foundry,'' said Russell Ellwanger, CEO of Tower, in a statement.
Varactor libraries enable faster time to market
March 2008
The MOSVAR varactor model libraries in its 0.13 and 0.18-micron analog-intensive mixed-signal technology platforms target wireless and other communication products. The model improves simulation accuracy while reducing product development time.
The varactor model incorporates recent advances in MOS device physics and modeling and is compatible with the PSP MOSFET model. In addition, it provides MOS varactor specific gate current models and physical geometry and process parameter based parasitic modeling.
Richard Nakajima to manage Jazz Semiconductor's Japan business
Richard Nakajima of RF Design Services company Cubic Micro has been named as Japan country manager for Jazz Semiconductor. Mr. Nakajima will work from Cubic Micro's base in Japan and will provide sales, marketing and business development expertise to the specialist foundry's Japanese operations.
"Richard Nakajima has an extensive background in foundry services and a record of high achievement," said Chuck Fox, VP of Sales and Marketing for Jazz Semiconductor. "I am confident his leadership and experience will help the sales team address our Japanese customers' needs more effectively, and drive Jazz's next growth phase in Japan's RF, power, and high precision analog markets."
BCD Process Enables 50 Percent Power Die Size Reduction
Jazz Semiconductor has developed enhancements to its advanced Bipolar CMOS DMOS (BCD) process platform including the addition of an ultra low Rdson scalable NLDMOS device enables up to a 50 percent shrink in die size in most power devices. The 0.18 µm BCD process adds the combination of high density 1.8-V digital CMOS with the higher voltage drivers required for highly integrated Power SOC designs. The high-voltage BCD process is available in scales from 0.5µ to 0.18µ with features including VIA stacking, thick top power metal (3 µm) for improved current-carrying capacity, ESD protection circuits, and triple well isolation.
Jazz Releases Advanced MOS Varactor Model Libraries for Wireless Products
Jazz Semiconductor recently announced the release of MOSVAR model libraries in its 0.13 and 0.18-micron AIMS technology platforms targeting wireless and other communication products. The new model improves simulation accuracy reducing product development time and is integrated as a standard component in Jazz's Design Enablement platform that also includes the previously announced Jazz Inductor Toolbox (JIT) and X-Sigma statistical simulation suite.
Avnera Utilizes Jazz's 0.18-Micron RFCMOS Process for Wireless Music and Voice Chips
Jazz Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Jazz Technologies, and Avnera, a fabless semiconductor company developing the breakthrough AvneraAudio technology for wired-quality wireless audio, announced that Avnera utilized Jazz's 0.18-micron RFCMOS process (CA18), to develop its semiconductor chip technology for wireless speakers, microphones, headphones and headsets that solves the interference problems that have plagued wireless audio for decades.
The companies noted that Avnera's design approach, coupled with Jazz Semiconductor's process technology, has enabled a low-cost, high-quality and easy-to-use wireless audio solution that delivers CD-quality sound without interference and operates like a plug-and-play unit all on a single piece of silicon.
MEMS the word for timing chips
But MEMS startups must move before quartz-crystal giants roll their own
Today, quartz crystals provide the heartbeat for nearly every electronic system, with annual volumes approaching 10 billion units. Electronic circuitry alone cannot generate the precisely spaced pulses that keep gates in synchronization in digital systems, or the rock-solid oscillations that keep analog frequencies tuned. In this sense, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) represent the final frontier in microminiaturization--downsizing this necessary mechanical reference signal from the millimeter scale of quartz crystals to the nanoscale of integrated circuits. For now, SiTime is (one of the leaders) in microelectromechanical-system chips for timing applications and went into volume production last year with chips that are pin-for-pin compatible with the quartz-crystal oscillators that today sell in the billions of units annually. SiTime is a well-funded fabless CMOS chip maker using foundry Jazz Semiconductor for the SiT8002.
TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, specializes in manufacturing analog integrated circuits for more than 300 customers worldwide in growing markets such as automotive, medical, industrial, consumer and aerospace and defense, among others. more information

Szoke heads to top track. Welsh ready to roll again.
June 23, 2009
TORONTO, Ont. (June 23) - No one has had more success at Calgary's Race City Motorsport Park than Jordan Szoke, and the Canadian Kawasaki Motors factory rider will be hoping to add to that legacy in the third round of the Parts Canada Superbike Championship this weekend.
The five-time Canadian Superbike champion has won eight races on the 3.2km (2.0-mile) road course, double the total of the next most successful racer. The 30-year-old from Brantford, Ont. comes into this weekend's event playing catch-up in the Parts Canada Superbike Championship standings, six points out of first place with two of seven races in the books.
"I've had a lot of success at Race City and I'm excited to get back there," says Szoke, who scored his first career Superbike national win in Calgary for the Canadian Kawasaki Motors team in 1998. "I don't know why, but I always seem to get along well with this place."
Although he sits second in the Superbike championship Szoke says the upcoming races on the schedule at Race City and then Mosport International Raceway should favour his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.
"It's nice to be going back to tracks I enjoy and excel at," he says. "With Mike Crompton I'm guaranteed to have the strongest motors out there and we always seem to be able to get the bike off the corners well. The Kawasaki is also good under braking too. All that will help us at Race City."
Szoke also thinks the Calgary venue will suit his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R in the Yoshimura Pro Sport Bike class. The three-time defending class champion is also second in that category, but only two points out of the top spot.
"I still believe this new ZX-6R is the best 600 ever built and I think as we get into more real race tracks like here and Mosport it will be the bike to beat," Szoke says. "Through that twisty section from turn three to turn six and through the chicane, where you have to carry some speed, that's where this bike will really excel."
Szoke's Canadian Kawasaki Motors team-mate Alex Welsh is fighting fit after a qualifying crash at the previous event in Mirabel, Que. left him with a sore shoulder and back. He heads to Calgary sixth in the Superbike standings and fifth in the Pro Sport Bike rankings.
"I took a few days off [after Mirabel] and physically I'm fine right now," the 21-year-old from Uxbridge, Ont. says. "I started training again last Wednesday and now I'm 100 per cent."
In his first season as a factory Superbike rider the 2008 HJC Pro Rookie of the Year is looking forward to exploiting the speed of the Ninja ZX-10R on Race City's long front straight.
"The Kawasaki's are so fast, I know that will play into my favour," he says. "And our equipment is probably the best set up of anybody's out there. I'm looking forward to utilizing what a Superbike is."

I missed the orignal question, and I'm not an expert on Australian
Abriginal languages, nut my observations are:
(1) All that I know a written in the Latin alphabet, which is not
surprising given that the dominant culture in this country is English-
(2) The only character that I am aware of that falls outside the 26-
letter Latin alphabet is the "n" with a tail, represening the "ng"
sound. This of course is in Unicode at U+014A and U+014B.
(3) If there are other characters required by some languages, then they
are likely to fall within the range of characters easily available in an
English-speaking country, on typewriters, from printers, and in word-
processing programs. They will therefore be available in Unicode.
I will forward a copy of this response to an e-mail list called
"ATSILIRN", which is the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lirary
and Information Resources Network, to see if they can add anything to
this response.

Confirms Vishal Dadlani (of Vishal-Shekhar fame), who is fast becoming one of the preferred singers in Bollywood, "The track has been composed in two versions with one each reserved for Shahrukh and Hritik. I have sung both the versions."
While one version of the song would be appearing within the film, another would appear as a part of end credits roll. Adds Vishal, "The song is a mix of hip-hop and rock and should do really well with the younger generation."
Talking about how the song fell in his lap, Vishal reveals, "I am a big fan of Rajesh Roshan brand of music. How can one ever forget that he is the man behind 'Dil Kya Kare Jab Kisi Se Kisi Ko Pyaar Ho Jaaye' from Julie? The song stays on to be one of my all time favourites. This is why when Rakesh Roshan gave me a call and said that he wanted me to sing for a Rajesh Roshan composition, I was game for it."
For Shahrukh Khan, this would be his yet another item song special appearance in recent times after 'Mast Kalandar' (Heyy Babyy) and 'Kaal Dhamaal' (Kaal). He also had a few 'blink and you would miss' shots reserved for him in Arjun Rampal's I See You where he held the guitar for the song 'Subah Subah'. On the other hand, for Hritik, this would be his first ever experience as an item boy, though just like Shah Rukh Khan, he too had made a fleeting appearance in 'Subah Subah'.
Directed by debutant, Jaideep Sen, Krazzy 4 is a comedy which revolves around four crazy men Arshad Warsi, Irrfan Khan, Rajpal Yadav and Suresh Menon. Juhi Chawla is the doctor in charge for treating them all. Apart from Shahrukh Khan and Hritik Roshan in guest appearances, the film also stars Dia Mirza, Rajat Kapoor, Zakir Hussain, Sunil Pal, Makrand Deshpande and Mukesh Rishi. Incidentally, Rakhi Sawant also makes a special appearance in the movie for an item song.

While staying near Westminster Bridge in London, I wanted to get photographs of the London Eye (the largest observation wheel in the world) and a few landmarks, as well as some reference material for drawing cityscapes. It was a clear winter's morning, and I couldn't cope with the cold for long before my hands were hurting. Still, the extra time with my hands in my pockets allowed me to think more carefully about what I was trying to achieve…
At 135m tall, the London Eye is an immense cantilever construction, and it's situated right next to the Thames; I'll be back there another day to see if there are any awesome reflections to be had. Meanwhile, I wandered under the structure and saw a few angles I liked. The winter sun was bright and at a good point in the sky for throwing shadows all over the place, and the area wasn't too busy so I was able to get in where I wanted without being pushed and shoved all the time. Some nearby tourists were photographing the Houses of Parliament, but I didn't like that viewpoint much and there was plenty to do with the big wheel for now. I found the industrial mood exciting and I studied mathematics at college, so I wanted my pictures to reflect what I was getting out of the engineering and geometry.
This wasn't supposed to be a big shoot with me reeling off a few hundred shots to pick from later, or any kind of attempt to do something completely new and different in terms of angles and/or post production. I wanted to avoid the obvious, but it was more important to me to get the basics right. I allowed myself just twenty chances to get all the shots before moving on, because I figure anyone can strike it lucky if they take hundreds of pictures! …That is not to say I am a photography snob – I simply don't have enough skill to develop such a justifiably-pompous attitude! – I just like setting myself constraints to work within because I don't have anyone teaching me, and I'd guess that's what a mentor might do to get me to look at things differently.
The spicy orange machinery is perfect against the fresh, blue firmament – I will try that palette out sometime when I'm painting! It was mid morning on a very cold day, the sky was clear and the bright winter sun was casting some fantastic shadows across the structure. There was a nice transition above me where the observation pods were emerging from the gloom into the full sunlight. For a while, I watched the silhouettes standing around in the carriages, pointing at the vista and chatting to each other. I wanted to be up there with them, hence the first picture (above) showing the view through the centre to the unattainable, top-most pods.
The 10-tonne carriages, or "capsules" as they are properly called, are equally spaced and identical, except for a single red one. This pod is normally orange (Pantone 172) to match the branding of the current corporate sponsor, but it's red at the moment in support of an annual UK charity event called Red Nose Day. The decision to change one of the capsules to a bright colour caused controversy at the time, but it simply reflects a design aesthetic that's being overused everywhere (although often to very good effect), i.e. having a row of identical things with just one being different. In society, we are often told it is important to stand out and be different from the crowd… We have to be faster, harder working, more beautiful, better parents, higher paid, etc. Suddenly, I am looking up at this solitary red pod going round and round in a circle, and I'm thinking about life, art and all sorts of things. I took a shot of the red capsule starting its ascent, just moving past the machinery and going out into the world. It's partly obscured, so we can't quite see what it is just yet.
The gentle speed of rotation makes for a very dignified ascent – a full revolution takes about thirty minutes. In fact, it would have been a really laid-back experience to photograph the sights if the sun had stayed put as well! But the shadows were moving all the time, and therein lies the excitement of trying to capture an ever-changing scene, methinks.
I like how the spokes line up to give the impression of a huge lattice. It looks like one wheel of a giant push-bike! Here, you can see how the giant cantilever struts join in to the centre of the Ferris wheel. I love this photo; I wasted quite a few of my limit of twenty to get this angle just right.
Well, having taken a lot of shots of the London Eye looking massive, I now wanted something that brought it down a little closer.
This angle makes it harder to work out just how huge the structure really is. I like how the capsules are all hanging there in the sky; perfectly arranged pods. I wondered how to take something in motion, and still be able to convey the direction of movement in a still photograph. I thought the human mind might be conditioned to protect us from things falling from above, so I got under the descending pods.
A London Eye capsule about to dock. I'm not going to say too much about this one because I think it's fun, although I do admit it has a certain "corporate newsletter" look to it, and perhaps that's partly why I'm amused. The real appeal, however, is how I saw it when I was reviewing it back at home: it's almost the set of a science fiction animation – those guys on board look like stop-motion models to me. I was actually trying to catch the sun and shadows coming through the structure at the time, and I'm happy with the way it turned out. One of my favourite shots of the day.

Roger Federer: What He Needs to Do to Get Tennis' No. 1 Ranking BackAugust 23, 2011
After losing to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Cincinnati Quarterfinals, Roger Federer was asked during his press conference what he would need to do to get back to the No. 1 ranking.
This was his response:
"Yeah, I mean, I know what I need to work on. Definitely comes with winning big tournaments and getting some momentum going and having big confidence. That will definitely help. But in the game itself I know what I need to work on, and that's what I'm going to try to do coming up now, and then sort of after the US Open."
Analyzing what he has said, one can see that he has not yet given up on that top spot. He wants to continue improving, which I think is a positive sign for Federer fans.
After he said that he knows what he needs to work on in his game, I've been trying to figure out where he could probably step it up from here.
First, here are a few telling signs:
Federer hasn't won a slam since the Australian Open 2010.
If we look at all of his losses since then, especially in the Grand Slams, most of them have come against big hitters. He has been overpowered when he played guys like Tsonga and Tomas Berdych. He no longer moves quickly, and he seems to have lost quite a bit of power in his shots.
His tie-break record has been extremely poor this season. Just three out of 11 won in total. Surely, that has hurt him a lot.
And, of course, he's 30 now.
I am writing this article mostly as a brainstorming piece of work trying to figure out what he needs to do to get back to winning Grand Slams and reaching that No. 1 spot that he has owned the past seven or eight years.
I could think of a few things:
Getting to the net more often
He has done that pretty consistently this year, but it isn't helping him win matches by itself, although he still needs to keep this strategy around.
Improving his backhand
This is an area where he could still improve. A stronger, more powerful backhand would not only allow him to hit winners or at least force a weaker response from the opponent, but also enables him to finish points faster which is very important at his age. At this moment, his backhand is more of a shot to keep the ball in play, which could be put to a much more effective purpose.
Using the slice more
I think he has stopped using this weapon for quite some time now. He was using it consistently four or five years back, but it has slowly gone down and has been replaced by the drop shot. I believe he needs to use the slice a lot more. This would certainly help him against the big hitters and give him more time to adjust to his next shot.
Getting more first serves in
He needs to make at least 60 percent first serves in. This would help his cause a great deal in getting some free points.
Converting break point opportunities
One of the main reasons why Federer has not been able to win against Rafael Nadal many more times is his break points conversion rate, which had been pathetic last year. It seems to have gotten better this year, but he needs to consistently convert break chances to win those big matches.
Stop being stubborn
I think another big issue Federer needs to fix is to adapt his playing style against these big hitters. He seems happy to battle them head on. Back in the days, he used to thrive against big hitters, hitting winners day in and day out, but he's not the same anymore, and he needs to change or at least stop being stubborn.
I think consistently getting better in all of these areas could help him get back the top spot.
What do you think?

Buccellato Leads a "Rogues Rebellion" During "Forever Evil"
For more than three years, DC Comics duo Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul have been detailing the adventures of Barry Allen in the pages of "The Flash," first drawing and coloring Geoff Johns' relaunch of the character in 2010 before becoming the main creative team of the ongoing New 52 series. Starting this September, Buccellato will get to take a solo lap writing the Flash's most famous team of criminal foes: the Rogues.
Redesigned and reintroduced in the main "Flash" title last year, the core group — Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Heatwave, Weather Wizard and Trickster — will be the focus of Buccellato and artist Patrick Zircher's six-issue "Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion" miniseries, debuting in October as a tie-in to Geoff Johns and David Finch's main "Forever Evil" story. Buccellato is also the writer for two September DC Villains Month one-shots — "The Flash: Grodd" and "The Flash: The Rogues" — the latter kicking off events of "Rogues Rebellion. Meanwhile, the main "Flash" title is set to finish the current Barry Allen vs. Reverse Flash storyline, before taking a trip to Barry's non-powered past with November's "Zero Year" tie-in. Additionally, Buccellato and Manapul co-wrote a "Reverse-Flash" one-shot, also part of Villains Month.
With the Rogues dominating both the Flash's world and Buccellato's, CBR caught up with the writer/colorist to talk about how "Forever Evil" will impact the main "Flash" book, his take on the villains and the future of the Rogues.
CBR News: Before "Forever Evil" starts, you're writing a Rogues one-shot for Villains Month, plus as a Grodd one-shot. Will the Rogues tie into the "Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion" story?
Brian Buccellato: It does tie directly into "Rogues Rebellion." The one-shot is taking the continuity where we last left the Rogues and catapulting them into "Forever Evil" and "Rogues Rebellion." It's a transitional issue, and also shows what the Rogues are really all about. It's not an origin per se, because we already know their origin, but it sets up who the Rogues are and where they're going to go in "Forever Evil."
In "Forever Evil," we have the Crime Syndicate and we have Lex Luthor's group vying for power, but the Rogues have always been real blue-collar, street-level criminals. Where do they fall in between these two camps?
Well, I don't think it's a spoiler to say that they're not on board with any of that. That's not who they are, that's not what they do; what do they care about world domination? They are blue collar, like you said, and they just want to live their American dream — their American dream just happens to be stealing stuff. [Laughs] So for them, this new world order, unlike probably most of the villains in the New 52 Villains Month, these guys are not really on board. They don't want that — who wants to live in a world with no heroes and only bad guys doing what bad guys want to do?
A lot of the charm of the Rogues has always been that commitment to low-level crime, that they're making cold guns (pre-New 52) to rob banks and such.
I know it makes them stand out among Flash villains, but I think it makes them stand out among all villains in all comics. They're different! In a lot of ways, it's refreshing and it's more identifiable. They've been various level of despicable over the years and they've done mean things, they've had their fair share of villainy, but at their heart there's something there we can all understand. There's a reason why heist movies and crime movies and bank robbery movies are so popular. I think part of it is that everyone wishes they could rob a bank and get away with it, everyone wishes they could have all the riches in the world, and that's something very primal: having stuff. Being able to get what you want and do what you want. I think the Rogues embody that.
Another part of that abiding charm, and clearly in the New 52 you and Francis Manapul changed their powers, but before that the Rogues often seemed underpowered for the hero they were taking on — you've got a regular guy throwing boomerangs at a speedster, etc.
So how does that play out in the New 52 and "Forever Evil" where you have villains that are still more powerful than them?
That's a tricky thing, because in the New 52 Francis and I obviously chose to power them up and make them more formidable to Flash. I think if the Rogues were up against Green Arrow or Batman, to an extent, a regular human being, the argument that a bunch of guys with guns could be on a level playing field makes a lot more sense. But the simple fact that Flash is so powerful — really, really powerful! — it was hard to justify that the guys who had to pull the trigger could pull it fast enough to contend with the Flash. I don't know if there's enough wand waving in the world that can beat a guy who can run as fast as the speed of light! So that was our choice to power them up, so they'll be better equipped to deal with whatever comes their way in "Rogues Rebellion" because of that.
Geoff Johns' "Forever Evil" begins in September and goes on for about seven issues. How much does you series tie into that?
It's definitely tied to what Geoff is doing; he is the lead in this storyline so we're just telling a story that's worked into the fabric of what he's doing, but still stands on its own. You don't necessarily need to read one to understand the other but they definitely enrich the experience if you read both series.
Looking at the main "Flash" series, will the events in "Forever Evil" change the status quo of the core group of Rogues moving forward?
Actually the Villains Month one-shot changes the status quo. Again, it's a little spoilery to say, but Trickster has not been in the group since he was kicked out in the "Flash Annual" #1, but if you've seen the cover to "Rogues Rebellion," he's there. He comes back to the team, so the status quo is definitely shaken up in the one-shot, and that propels us into the miniseries.
In the miniseries are we getting to the heart of the Rogues code and seeing characters trying to bend that as the status quo both among themselves and in the world changes?
That will definitely be explored. The thing about the Rogues is that they have that code, and it's not that many rules: they don't kill, they're all about the score and they are supposed to be loyal to each other. There will be moments where this will be put to the test in the one-shot and miniseries; that's part of the fun of writing them. If you give them a code you have to give them the opportunity to make that choice, so it's definitely something I'm trying to weave in.
How are you and Francis balancing "Rogues Rebellion" with the main "Flash" series? Will the "Forever Evil" mini impact "Flash?"
It's split down the middle. For Villains Month solo, I'm doing the Grodd issue and the Rogues issue. Those two are sort of tied together and also directly tied into "Forever Evil," and that has nothing to do with what's going on in current "Flash" and the Reverse Flash one-shot, which is basically a continuation of our Reverse Flash storyline. It fulfills the requirements of villains month, being that it's about Reverse Flash only, but it's his origin and it definitely ties into what we've been doing in the regular series, which is [asking], "Who is Reverse Flash?" In issue #23 you find out his identity, and then in Villains Month you find out how he got there. Then in issue #24 in October we'll wrap-up the Reverse Flash storyline.
You guys are also doing a "Zero Year" tie-in issue in November, so you are going from "Trinity War/Forever Evil" and Villains Month right into this new mini-event with Scott Snyder's "Batman" story. What made you decide to do a tie-in to "Zero Year" with "Flash?"
We were offered the opportunity to be a part of "Zero Year." For Francis and I, we enjoy writing about Barry, Barry's past and how he got to where he is. So it felt like a natural thing to say yes to because we've yet to do a story about Barry Allen before he got powers, and he gets to go to Gotham in a time when Batman is not established. We were like, "Yeah, we definitely want to do it!" As far as it being oddly juxtaposed with the other stuff going on, it is what it is. We felt the opportunity to write the "Zero Year" stuff outweighed when it was going to happen.
While you've worked with Geoff Johns before as an artist, how does it feel to be brought onboard a big event like this for the first time as a writer?
It's a whole different experience, and it's kind of amazing! Geoff is an amazing writer and has accomplished an awful lot; he might be underappreciated for his ability to get to the heart of the character in a story that is also epic and grand in scale, but yet never lose sight of what makes us love stories, and that's the characters and what they're going through. It's been quite a lesson, to be honest with you. Going through this with him and watching him do his magic has helped me design the story that works with his story. It's been completely invaluable and I can't speak highly enough of the experience. Hopefully it will impact me in a positive way as I continue on my writing career!
"The Flash: The Rogues" is out September 18, "The Flash: Grodd" is out September 4; "Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion" begins October 16.

Maybe you want to be a good host, ready for any drink request. Or maybe there's just a particular cocktail that you wouldn't mind having at home from time to time.
We can help. Starting up a home bar doesn't have to be overwhelming. You don't have to become a temple of mixology, creating your own syrups, infusing your own bitters, sending out drinks that would fit in on a Paris runway. You don't need a graduate degree in potions or enough money to afford a booze collection that requires its own wing. Just take it step by step.
That's how Paul Clarke, author of "The Cocktail Chronicles" and executive editor of Imbibe magazine, did it when he first got into cocktails around 2003, via a dinner party where everyone was laying claim to making a dish. Clarke figured he could either make a cocktail or wash dishes. He found a punch recipe, and everyone at the party liked it. Clarke was hooked, and he started to expand his collection.
These days, even his broom closet is filled with bottles. "The only places I have not stored it in my house are in the bathroom - that's gross - and the kids' rooms. Though I did think about that when they were littler and I was like, 'Hmm, maybe on the top shelf . . .?' "
But if Clarke were to start over, he would reclaim his broom closet. I heard the same from several passionate cocktailers who went down the rabbit hole in the early days, acquired hundreds of bottles, then realized they didn't really need them. Some have kept collecting, but they are more disciplined in curating what they acquire. Others have downsized.
You don't need 50 bottles of booze, and you don't need hundreds of bitters, says Brian Robinson, a financial adviser who serves as the review editor for the Wormwood Society, a nonprofit group that provides education about absinthe. Robinson is a serious collector of spirits, but, he says, "you can build out a nice, versatile bar with 15 or 20 bottles." In his bar area, he keeps a his go-to mixing spirits, and he can access a mini-fridge for perishables such as vermouth.
Here's a recommended course to grow your home cocktailing collection in a way that each round of purchasing will enable you to make new drinks. This list doesn't include such items as sugar/simple syrup and fresh citrus fruits, which you'll want to keep on hand. It's also smart to keep a decent bottle of Brut-style sparkling wine chilled for whenever you need it. By the end, you'll have a versatile, guest-friendly and manageable collection - and hopefully, a good sense of whether you want to expand it further.
You need: A cocktail shaker (which can double as a mixing glass), a measuring jigger, a long spoon, a julep strainer
Optional: A mixing glass, a muddler, a fine-mesh strainer.
Glasses: A Collins glass, a rocks glass and a coupe. (I'd advise against V-shaped "martini" glasses, which seem to be designed to spill drinks.)
Round 1:
A good mid-price rye (such as Dickel or Redemption) or bourbon (such as Buffalo Trace or Maker's Mark); Angostura bitters; club soda
Budget: $50
You can now make: Whiskey & Soda, Old-Fashioned
Round 2:
A good dry gin (such as Beefeater or Plymouth); sweet and dry vermouth (Dolin Dry, Cocchi vermouth di Torino for the sweet); tonic water (Fever Tree is good); orange bitters
Budget: $65
You can now make: Manhattan, Martini, Gin and Tonic, gimlet, Tom Collins, Gin Rickey, French 75 (assuming you have sparkling wine)
Round 3:
A good white rum (such as Banks 5 Island or Havana Club)
Budget: $30
You can now make: Daiquiri
Round 4:
Campari (if you like it); a good silver or reposado tequila (such as Siembra, Ocho or El Tesoro)
Budget: $60-$70
You can now make: Negroni, Americano, Margarita
Round 5:
Orange curacao (such as Pierre Ferrand); maraschino liqueur (such as Luxardo), grenadine
Budget: $60-$75
You can now make: El Presidente, Hemingway daiquiri, Martinez (usually made with sweeter Old Tom gin, but works with dry gin)
Round 6:
A good rye or bourbon (whichever you didn't get in Round 1), absinthe, Peychaud's bitters
Budget: $80 (good absinthe is expensive; a small bottle will last a long time)
You can now make: Sazerac

An early morning call from Lol Carman sent me scurrying in the direction of BLOWS DOWNS, DUNSTABLE (BEDFORDSHIRE), where it soon became apparent that a fall had occurred......
The wind was fairly strong SW, with occasional spots of rain and a lot of cloud - but very warm - 15 degrees C on several occasions.
Anyhow, within 37 minutes I was at BLOWS - too late however to see the 2 male Whinchats that Lol had seen earlier. Lol had estimated too the presence of 25 NORTHERN WHEATEARS in the Paddocks, but the best I could muster was 17. The main attraction though was the fall of COMMON REDSTARTS - no less than 5 individuals brightening up the Paddocks and showing well (see my pix above). Four were males, with a single female in the eastern paddock. A single WILLOW WARBLER was in the main hedgerow, with up to 9 Common Chiffchaffs in the area, 2 singing male BLACKCAPS and the odd SWALLOW flying through. Two LESSER REDPOLL and a pair of BULLFINCH were also in the vicinity and 4 Yellowhammers.
Three RING OUZELS (two males and a female) were on the Kingsbury Slope above Tesco's, whilst an additional 5 (four males and a female) were on the Caddington Slope before being flushed east within a short while (the latter seen with MJP). Three trilling BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS spent a short time in a taller tree halfway between the Paddocks and the Quarry, coming hard on the heels of the 40 Barry Squires and I saw in Shefford High Street on Saturday.
Whilst watching the Common Redstarts, Darrel Bryant phoned with news of the first fall at NORTON GREEN this spring, and with Black Red still missing from my 2013 Herts List, I started to head that way. Incredibly, as I was driving along the A414, a very excited Steve Blake 'phoned with news of a HOOPOE and being less than a few miles away, I immediately diverted.......
Picking up a lost notebook as I ran from Lawson's Woodyard (it transpired it belonged to Alan Gardiner), I met up with Steve just a few minutes later and there before us was the quarry - a fabulous HOOPOE - a pretty rare visitor to Hertfordshire. The bird was happily feeding in the sheep field immediately east of the main 'birding pit' and was keeping to the fence edge. I crept to within 100 yards of the bird and fired off over a 100 images (a selection to be found above). It continued probing the damp soil for the next 20 minutes, Ricky Flesher arriving from a work break in the meantime, and was seen to take a few grubs. It was very, very alert and repeatedly froze on several occasions. Then, just as it raised its head and glanced all around, it flew and headed off north across the fields to the far hedge. It landed in a tall Oak tree briefly but as Steve Murray approached from the Pumping Station footpath, it flew back towards us and landed in the sheep field adjacent. The grass here was longer, making the bird much more difficult to see, and after 8 minutes it flew again and returned to its original spot down by the edge of the main pit. It then resumed a better showing and continued to do so for the next 20 minutes but then flew strongly at 1315, alighting briefly in a Willow at the far south end of the pit. It quickly flew again and continued west towards Willows Farm and was lost.
Although I failed to find the male Common Redstart that Ricky chanced upon as he walked back towards his car, an impressive 22 NORTHERN WHEATEARS was encountered and a single male YELLOW WAGTAIL. Hirundines included 8 Sand Martins.
With confirmation from Tony Hukin that Darrel's Black Redstart was still present at NORTON GREEN, I headed that way, but despite searching in the increasingly strong wind for over an hour, I failed to relocate it - 4 NORTHERN WHEATEARS, a male YELLOW WAGTAIL and 2 Barn Swallows being my highlight.
MACKERYE END (HERTS) was my next destination and after a bit of searching, I finally relocated Darin Stanley's male COMMON REDSTART by the spoil heap at the road junction at TL 155 155, about 150 yards further to the north of where DS initially found it. It was calling frequently and zipping in and out of the hedgerow and I was pleased at getting a fairly decent shot of it (see above).
I then decided to check the IVINGHOE HILLS (BUCKS) but other than 27 NORTHERN WHEATEARS, it was hard work (others had seen the likes of Short-eared Owl, Marsh Harrier, 4 Ring Ouzels and 2 Common Redstarts, whilst further to the west, Ring Ouzels numbered 5 at both Ellesborough and Great Kimble).
Returning to the CHESS VALLEY in CHESHAM (BUCKS), BOIS MILL POND held 2 Grey Herons and a single immature Sinensis Cormorant. Walking the WATERCRESS COTTAGE LOOP TRAIL yielded Little Egret, Wren and 4 different singing male Common Chiffchaffs, with 10 GADWALLS, GREY WAGTAIL and 2 Pied Wagtails on POW WOW LAKE and an excellent selection of birds on CHESHAM FISHING LAKES including no less than 7 WILLOW WARBLERS (the largest congregation of this species in the Chess Valley for several years), a male BLACKCAP, a pair of COMMON KINGFISHERS, 14 BARN SWALLOWS, 3 HOUSE MARTINS and 2 SAND MARTINS. Another pair of GADWALL and 12 Tufted Ducks were also noted, as well as Chaffinch, Long-tailed Tit and 2 Song Thrushes.

Keri Russell Gets Girly On The Cover Of Lucky Magazine!
Senior Entertainment Reporter
If you're desperate to just look at anything that feels like spring, check out Keri Russell on the new cover of Lucky mag.
Hard to believe that Felicity is all growed up and has graduated to the cover of Lucky magazine . But here she is – all dolled up in girlish, springy dresses even though she confesses to the mag that given her druthers she's more taken with the '40s tomboy look. "I'm into the sexy masculine thing," she says."
The mom of 2 year-old River who's married to carpenter Shane Deary, Keri is now staring in the new heart-wrenching film Extraordinary Measures alongside former carpenter, Harrison Ford, and Brendan Fraser.

The Department for Education and Skills has
a significant impact on the social and economic aspects of sustainable
development in England through its core business of raising educational
standards and improving skills, including education for sustainable
development. Nurseries, schools, colleges and universities are
also valuable community resources for learning and are key to
the success of cross-Government strategies, such as the National
Strategy for Neighbourhood Renewal, led by the Neighbourhood Renewal
Unit. They contribute to the "building sustainable communities"
strand of the Government's Sustainable Development work; further
detail is at paragraph 15 below. This Department's policies have
comparatively less direct impact on environmental matters than
those of some other Government departments, such as those represented
on MISC 18.
Question 1. What input has the Department for
Education and Skills had to the UK preparations for the World
Summit on Sustainable Development?
1. Our input has been on two levels: first,
our broad actions to promote sustainable development in our areas
of responsibility, and second, specific action for the Summit
2. The Department for Education and Skills
has taken significant action to help raise awareness and understanding
of sustainable development. The revised National Curriculum, which
we introduced in September 2000, gives pupils a statutory entitlement
to sustainable development education. Pupils learn about the connections
between environmental, social and economic issues and about the
consequences of the choices they make for the environment and
other people. We are joint sponsors with DEFRA of the independent
advisory Sustainable Development Education Panel, which made an
important contribution to the National Curriculum review. The
Panel's membership includes non-governmental bodies, such as the
Council for Environmental Education (CEE), with whom we have a
continuing dialogue.
3. Support and guidance on ESD and the National
Curriculum are available on the website we have commissioned the
Qualifications and Curriculum Authority to prepare. The Growing
Schools initiative (£0.5m), launched in September last year,
will promote the outdoor classroom, with the emphasis on growing,
farming and the environment.
4. The World Wildlife Fund project, "Our
World", which we are co-sponsoring with DEFRA and the devolved
administrations, will encourage pupils and teachers to explore
and debate sustainable development issues and take action in their
local community. Four Earth Champions from winning schools from
the UK will attend the summit, and there will be on-line debates
around the main summit themes. This Department is publicising
its contribution to preparations for the World Summit through
Ministerial participation in events around the "Our World"
schools challenge.
5. As the Committee knows, the Summit is
of most relevance to Departments represented on the Ministerial
group MISC 18, and in particular to the Departments whose Ministers
are due to give oral evidence to the Committee: the Cabinet Office,
the Department for International Development, and the Department
for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. We believe that it is
in those departments that this topic will have been discussed
at management board level (rather than in other departments which
are, rightly, not members of MISC 18) because it is their policies
that top the agenda of the Summit and dominate the UK's objectives
for the Summit: to address poverty eradication, globalisation,
the Millennium Development Goals and related international target,
resource productivity and sectoral problems.
Question 2. For which UK sustainable development
indicators does the Department for Education and Skills have responsibility,
and which other indicators do the department's policies particularly
impact upon?
6. This information is in the public domain
in the Government's statistical publication "Quality of life
counts: indicators for a strategy for sustainable development
for the United Kingdom: a baseline assessment" (December
1999), with an update in "Achieving a better quality of life:
review of progress towards a sustainable development", the
Government's annual report for 2000, published in spring 2001.
7. This Department is responsible for the
main element of the fifth headline indicator, the percentage of
19 year olds in England achieving level 2 qualifications. The
trend for this indicator in recent years has been one of modest
but steady improvement. While the latest outturn from the autumn
2001 Labour Force Survey shows no increase over the autumn 2000
outturn of 75 per cent, we do anticipate improvements in future
years which will enable us to reach our Public Service Agreement
target for 2004 of a three percentage point improvement in outturn
compared to 2002.
8. We have an interest in the fourth headline
indicator on poverty and social exclusion. Our interest is the
proportion of work-age people in England without a qualification.
This has also moved in a positive direction, falling to 15 per
cent in autumn 2001. This is over three percentage points lower
than in 1996, equivalent to over 900,000 fewer people with no
qualifications over the last five years.
9. Our policies also influence seven lower
level sustainable development indicators. In most of these we
have made significant progress and we aim to move all of them
in a positive direction, with a range of specific targets as detailed
below in Table 1. We also continue to work with the School Travel
Advisory Group on all aspects of school transport, including environmental
Question 3. What systems does your Department have in place
to monitor progress on how far the department's policies are contributing
to UK progress on sustainable development and the issues that
were mapped out in Agenda 21 after the Rio Earth Summit in 1992?
10. This Department monitors its contribution to the
overall Government goal of achieving sustainable development by
taking part in the work which DEFRA leads on progress on the Government's
sustainable development strategy for the UK. The strategy is the
Government's response to Agenda 21. We last reported progress
in "Achieving a better quality of life" (mentioned above)
and further updates will appear in the 2nd annual report which
the Government expects to publish in 2002.
11. The Department for Education and Skills has a direct
impact on several of the Government's seven sustainable development
priorities, in particular:
12. Priority 1The Department's Strategic Framework,
published in October 2001, states the aim of the DfES as to "help
build a competitive economy and inclusive society by:
("Education and Skills: Delivering Resultsa strategy
to 2006", page 4).
13. Priority 4We will deliver a "Departmental
Investment Strategy for schools, colleges and universities in
England which encourages sustainable development and modernises
the estate, helping to enrich communities and make towns and cities
better places to live and work in" ("Education and Skills:
Delivering Resultsa strategy to 2006", page 17).
14. To achieve our goals it is vital that we work effectively
with our partners. "Meeting our targets can only be achieved
if we involve partners, including customers, in the development
and delivery of our policies". ("Education and Skills:
Delivering Resultsa strategy to 2006", page 18).
15. As mentioned in the introduction above, the National
Strategy for Neighbourhood Renewal includes commitments to neighbourhood
renewal from Departments across Whitehall. The Department for
Education and Skills has a range of commitments including extending
Sure Start to cover a third of children under 4 in poverty by
2004 and introducing an Adult Basic Skills Strategy aimed at meeting
the literacy and numeracy target mentioned under indicator C2
above. The Department also has very challenging floor targets
which focus on raising attainment at GCSE in every school and
every LEA in England. The Department is working with others inside
and outside Government to deliver its commitments and targets,
and reports regularly to the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit on progress.
16. Speaking at the launch of the White Paper "Schools;
Achieving Success", Secretary of State for Education and
Skills, Estelle Morris said:
17. This Department, in common with others, is producing
a Sustainable Development Report to the Treasury as part of its
Spending Review 2002 Bid. Our Spending Review will contribute
in particular to the economic and social strands of sustainable
development, by advancing the Department's core business of education
and skills policies.

Ongoing Project: CaseRe3
CaseRe3 is an open access repository of case reports in integrative health care, spanning multiple disciplines, and including data, voice and video files as well as full text articles.

Stories of Growth and Wisdom: A Mixed Methods Study of people Living Well with Pain
Chronic pain remains a daunting clinical challenge, affecting 30% of people in the United States and 20% of the global population. People meeting this challenge by achieving wellbeing while living with pain are a virtually untapped source of wisdom about this persistent problem. Employing a concurrent mixed methods design, we studied 80 people living with chronic pain with "positive stories to tell" using semistructured interviews and standardized questionnaires. In-depth interviews focused on what helped, what hindered, how they changed, and advice for others in similar circumstances. The PDF contains links to video clips of participant interviews.
Immediate Effect of Therapeutic Massage on Pain Sensation
and Unpleasantness: A Consecutive Case Series
Musculoskeletal pain is a common condition that poses a significant burden to its sufferers and costs the US economy billions of dollars each year in lost productivity. Individuals complaining of musculoskeletal pain make up a large proportion of clients treated by massage therapists in community practices, yet few studies have examined the immediate effect of therapeutic massage on this type of pain in the practice setting. The study found that massage therapy was effective in reducing both physical sensation and affective pain unpleasantness in this sample of 116 first time clients..
Recent Projects: Choose Wisely
Choose Wisely was a multiyear evaluation of the quality of professional training in an integrative health care discipline in the United States. Commissioned by a national accrediting body, the study combined public Gainful Employment data and disciplinary action numbers from state licensing boards with qualitatively developed surveys of educators. The results were published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Never Only Opioids: A Policy Brief
Never Only Opioids was a team effort, produced by the Pain Action Alliance to Implement A National Strategy (PAINS) in collaboration with the Academic Consortium for Complementary and Alternative Health Care and the Center for Practical Bioethics. The entire series of policy briefs is available at http://www.painsproject.org/our-work/advancing-national-pain-strategy/policy-briefs-2/.
Wisdom Through Adversity
This project explored the nature of wisdom and how people adapt to adversity to emerge with a more positive and compassionate outlook. As a consultant to the project, I developed the project's coding schema, and coded many of the hour-long, in-depth qualitative interviews. One of the groups interviewed for the study was people living well with chronic pain, who had 'positive stories to tell.' Their stories were inspiring. A link to a published study analyzing a portion of the study data, about how people with chronic pain live well, is available under Recent Publications.

Make this cooker fit your home
The exacting performance of a Lacanche range cooker is derived from the Ambassade de Bourgogne commercial range which is one of the market leading range cookers found in restaurants across France and the World. The two range cookers are made in the same factory, by the same engineers and using the same components. At this level each cooker is hand made, using European steel, and assembled by an individual engineer who takes ultimate pride in making your cooker for you. We at Edwards & Godding know this because we have visited their factory in Lacanche.
10 - 14 weeks.
Due to their bespoke nature, Lacanche cookers are hand built to order which explains the long lead time.
Edwards & Godding is a bricks and mortar company with an online presence. We believe that if you purchase your cooker from us, you want to deal with Edwards & Godding people. This means we deal with the organisation of your delivery and not simply pass your order over to the manufacturer to complete.
