Between times
Two weeks ago, during our coverage of the Olympic Torch relay protests in London, the BBC broadcast a report from Beijing, suggesting there had been no coverage of the protests, in China. Like much of the coverage associated with the recent trouble in Tibet, it has provoked a lot of discussion in China and on video sites like YouTube.
While James Reynolds's report (which you can watch here) was first broadcast on Sunday 6 April at 1900 BST, the items featured on YouTube were transmitted the following day - so the video is disingenuous. However, while it is true that at the time James's report was compiled no Chinese media had reported the protests, between the item being recorded and the report being broadcast, we now understand that some Chinese media did report the protests - although not the main channel, CCTV1, featured in James's report. It was wrong of us to suggest that the Chinese authorities tried to keep news of the protests off the air. When we make a mistake, we need to apologise. I'm happy to do so.

Well that 'apology' included everything except an actual apology. If you're 'happy to' apologise, then say it!

This reminds me of the time of the miners strike, when a television report on national news showed a film clip of an empty coal train crossing the viaduct in Mansfield in Nottinghamshire. The commentary referred to the fact that no coal was leaving the nearby Sherwood Colliery and that the blockade was working.
Local people would identify that the coal train was in fact heading towards the colliery!
We should never forget that television can easily misrepresent the facts and we rely on the honesty and integrity of the people involved to present the situation fairly.

Will you be apologising on telly in a manner as visible as the original report? Because otherwise it's not really an apology, is it, it's sort of saying "aw, shucks" out of the side of your mouth and hoping no-one will hear you...

It is a matter of degree as to whether an apology is necessary. If the reports are only in the Shanghai Dental Technicians Weekly .........

After watching the youtube report, i was stunned by the well thought out counter attack by the chinese on the bbc's james reynolds, it really does go to show you that the chinese are not really that opressive at all & we can now look at them in a different light, having said that it takes a biiger man to realise his mistake to publicly, and im sure a little humiliated to apoligise.

Thanks, Jon, for this blog. And actually, CCTV news channel (something like BBC news) did have coverage of the torch relay protests and there were pannel discussions on this topic on the channel.

How many Britons will see this apology? when the hurt is made, twice difficult to mend it.

How about the using ambulance to demonstrate "heavy military presence" thing? I saw you said you made a mistake. but you didn't apologise. I feel that one also needs an apology. Don't you think so?
What more? The BBC London torch relay live coverage commentators happily call grabbing torch as peaceful protest. Should they not apologise?
Why did the BBC make too many mistakes in such short period and all regarding China? Coincidence? I hope so.

You should also apologise for your bias boardcasting on torch relay in london.

I think that not just this news mislead all audience from BBC. We chinese has been keeping all what BBC reported, reporting about chinese news, these for future eviedenc to sue BBC unfair, truthless and mislead all of worldwide audience, we will let BBC pay us back.

Dear Editor,
I appreciate your effort and thanks for your apology (as insincere as it was). However i can't help pointing out the following:
1. James said in his report: "The Chinese Communist Party has a simple rule, it won't show any pictures which ruin this country's idea of a trouble-free games". Evidently, this rule does not exist and I feel this remark was extremely unprofessional and self presumptious. James Reynolds seemed to me, lacks some of the most fundamental professionalism of being a journalist. Most importantly it gave out the wrong message to, and misled, the British general public about the modern China, ONCE AGAIN. I can safely say that the damage, which had already been done by repetitive broadcasts of this report through BBC's main channels, is so great, that your apology on this blog simply could not justify.
2. I also noticed that you particularly made a point on the fact that when the report was initially broadcast there weren't yet any report of the event in Chinese Media. However, I would like to point out that I saw the same report repeated on BBC's midnight news on 6th April. The same report stayed on BBC's website for several more days. Doesn't the BBC have a continuing fact checking responsibility on the stories you put on air? I think you can see why it's hard for me to believe the BBC's impatiality.
I belive it is only appropriate, if the BBC apologises, and more importantly, makes corrections of its mistake on the same programs that it had broadcast this false report. Otherwise, as a BBC Licence payer and a Chinese citizen, I would have no choice but to seek further justice from Ofcom.

This is not the only thing you should apologise, and don't pretend this to be just another caseul mistakes you make by playing it down towards the end. BBC would never be forgiven by Chinese people.
The result of your coverage over the Olympic relay in London is a more united China. So thank you.

James said in his report: "The Chinese Communist Party has a simple rule, it won't show any pictures which ruin this country's idea of a trouble-free games".
This is not just the issue of the wrong suggestion. This is totally a biased, jaundiced, one sided view, which is totally anti China. I am very dissapointed in your news reporting service lately. I guess now what we are hearing is being edited to what you like us to hear.

BBC was my favorite media before the Tibet incident. But now, I realize that BBC coverage of Chinese issue are full of lies.
If BBC doesn't fire the biased correspondences, BBC's reputation in Chinese community will be (has been) deeply damaged.
Jon just gave us an excuse for James's "mistake".
But I don't understand why:
1,James used several times "won't". How dare a journalist judge the future events based on his silly bias?
2, it took BBC 2 weeks to realize this "mistake"?
3,Jon said "at the time James's report was compiled no Chinese media had reported the protests….." How many Chinese media had BBC checked at that time? I am not going to be fooled by this kind of excuse.
When you make a mistake, you need to apologise. That's right.
When you deliberately make a "mistake", for BBC won sake, apology is not enough to recover its reputation.
- 15.
- At 03:32 PM on 16 Apr 2008,
apologise not accepted by me, a Chinese individual. I see you did not realised what you have done wrong on the 6th April in London, which your apologise is much more needed.

Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (November 24th 2015)
Hardcover: 352 pages
Add on: Goodreads
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
A heartrending but ultimately uplifting debut novel about learning to accept life's uncertainties; a perfect fit for the current trend in contemporary realistic novels that confront issues about life, death, and love.
Seventeen-year-old Rose Levenson has a decision to make: Does she want to know how she's going to die? Because when Rose turns eighteen, she can take the test that tells her if she carries the genetic mutation for Huntington's disease, the degenerative condition that is slowly killing her mother.
With a fifty-fifty shot at inheriting her family's genetic curse, Rose is skeptical about pursuing anything that presumes she'll live to be a healthy adult-including her dream career in ballet and the possibility of falling in love. But when she meets a boy from a similarly flawed genetic pool and gets an audition for a dance scholarship across the country, Rose begins to question her carefully laid rules.
Rules for 50/50 Chances was a book that I didn't really expect to like, but ended up enjoying a lot more than I thought I would. I liked that it wasn't another book about a teen dealing with cancer instead it was a book about a teen's mom dealing with Huntington's Disease. Like with its diverse characters (as we are kept being reminded of throughout the book), we learn about diseases that are just as intense as cancer, which was nice for a change. This book mainly focuses on Huntington's and Sickle Cell, none that I was familiar with but have heard about. I wasn't sure about our heroine Rose. She wants to find out if she's going to get Huntington's because she's scared that she might end up like her mom in a few years' time and while she complains that it would let her make things clearer for her, I like that her parents says no. Finding out would be the ultimate life changer. It could make a person do irrational and YOLO-y things and that's what I like about her parents. Their decisions matter and is taken into account, they just don't fade into the void and never to be seen again.
And, of course, no "disease" book is completed with romance. I liked Caleb and his family. I was actually surprised that both families have a sense of humor despite that they have someone with disease. But since Rose's mom can't be there to asset about Caleb, her grandmother does her mom's job and it's hilarious. What I didn't like was that Caleb had to keep reminding Rose – us – that he's black and people treat him differently. He's funny and supports Rose in whatever she does. The guy will wach ballet with her, which I'm pretty sure no guy will be caught dead in doing unless his sister is in it. And even though he is a jerk for missing her recital, I liked that he does things to make up for the lost and that earned him some points in my book. Caleb also puts up with her mom's racial comments (it's easy to empathize with Rose's mom because the disease is eating her mind away) and I like the way he gives her a nickname the first time they meet. Their friendship made me feel warm and fuzzy because he just gets her.

Badal wants centre to reassess method to fix minimum support price
Prime Minister to visit J&K
Khalsa Warriors defeats Punjab Thunder in Kabaddi League
RAPS-5's continuous 765 days performance makes its number 2 globally
The Central Government has given a nod but waiting for the state government clearance to implement the planned ultra mega solar power project (UMPP) in Sambhar, Rajasthan. As per media report the Central Government is even ready to set up the plant at different location if the state government provides the land. The 4,000 MW project in Sambhar was announced by the previous UPA government last year. The State government raised the issue of the project's impact on environment because of its location next to the lake that is a prime site for migratory birds. The State that is capable of fulfilling the round-the-clock electricity need is also facing acute power theft.
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal requested the central government to reassess the procedure of finalizing the minimum support price (MSP) for crops. It must be made more lucrative and also enhance the viability of farming. For fixing MSP, government should take into account the managerial input of the farmer along with paid-out costs and input costs. He added that Punjab farmers must be compensated well for managing their farms competently and fulfilling the food and grain needs of the nation.
Flood in Jammu and Kashmir which is the worst in the past 60 years have killed 107 people and affected 2500 villages. Apart from this, building, infrastructure, roads, bridges have been extensively damaged by the floods and torrential rain in the state. As per media report Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the state Sunday who was briefed about the situation by the Home Minister Rajnath Singh. Weather department has forecast that weather will improve from Sunday and but if the worst is over cannot be said with surety.
Khalsa Warriors defeated Punjab Thunder in Wave World Kabaddi League's (WKL) first match in Punjab by 59-57. This is the fifth successive win of Khalsa Warriors. Jasmanpreet Singh's final raid helped the team to win. Punjab Thunder presented a great show by giving the the closest match of the Wave WKL at the Hockey Ground in the Punjab Agricultural University. The match was watched by more than 8,000 audience. Gurpreet Singh Gopi of the Khalsa Warriors was the best stopper with seven stops.
RAPS-5 unit of the Rawatbhata Rajasthan Atomic Power Station with 765 days safe reactor operations has achieved the second best position globally. As per official report RAPS-5 started performing on Aug 2, 2012 and since then it has been operating at full power. Designed in India, RAPS-5 is a Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor and uses natural uranium as a fuel. Near about 50 percent of the power generated by the plant is supplied to Rajasthan.

Warlord Krang is from Atlantis and rose in the ranks of the Atlantean military while Namor was missing, pre-Fantastic Four. Since Namor returned the two have been at odds when it concerns Atlantis. So much that Krang even planned devious schemes through the years to rid Namor from Atlantis. Recently during the Civil War story arc, he was injured by Norman Osborn. Then later would join the Last Defenders.
Krang was later found diseased -- attacking the shores of Russia with a captured Namora. He was banished to another dimension with the help of the Winter Guard and the Agents of Atlas. It is unknown how he returned from the other dimension or recovered from his illness, but he is currently back in Namor's good graces and holding a military position in New Atlantis, beneath Utopia.

COPENHAGEN (AFP) -- The earth's climate has been significantly affected by the planet's magnetic field, according to a Danish study published Monday that could challenge the notion that human emissions are responsible for global warming.
"Our results show a strong correlation between the strength of the earth's magnetic field and the amount of precipitation in the tropics," one of the two Danish geophysicists behind the study, Mads Faurschou Knudsen of the geology department at Aarhus University in western Denmark, told the Videnskab journal.
He and his colleague Peter Riisager, of the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), compared a reconstruction of the prehistoric magnetic field 5,000 years ago based on data drawn from stalagmites and stalactites found in China and Oman.
The results of the study, which has also been published in US scientific journal Geology, lend support to a controversial theory published a decade ago by Danish astrophysicist Henrik Svensmark, who claimed the climate was highly influenced by galactic cosmic ray (GCR) particles penetrating the earth's atmosphere.
Svensmark's theory, which pitted him against today's mainstream theorists who claim carbon dioxide (CO2) is responsible for global warming, involved a link between the earth's magnetic field and climate, since that field helps regulate the number of GCR particles that reach the earth's atmosphere.
"The only way we can explain the (geomagnetic-climate) connection is through the exact same physical mechanisms that were present in Henrik Svensmark's theory," Knudsen said.
"If changes in the magnetic field, which occur independently of the earth's climate, can be linked to changes in precipitation, then it can only be explained through the magnetic field's blocking of the cosmetic rays," he said.
The two scientists acknowledged that CO2 plays an important role in the changing climate, "but the climate is an incredibly complex system, and it is unlikely we have a full overview over which factors play a part and how important each is in a given circumstance," Riisager told Videnskab.
Svensmark's Theory Explained
Man-made climate change may be happening at a far slower rate than has been claimed, according to controversial new research.
Scientists say that cosmic rays from outer space play a far greater role in changing the Earth's climate than global warming experts previously thought.
In a book, to be published this week, they claim that fluctuations in the number of cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere directly alter the amount of cloud covering the planet.
High levels of cloud cover blankets the Earth and reflects radiated heat from the Sun back out into space, causing the planet to cool.
Henrik Svensmark, a weather scientist at the Danish National Space Centre who led the team behind the research, believes that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere.
This, he says, is responsible for much of the global warming we are experiencing.
He claims carbon dioxide emissions due to human activity are having a smaller impact on climate change than scientists think. If he is correct, it could mean that mankind has more time to reduce our effect on the climate.
The controversial theory comes one week after 2,500 scientists who make up the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change published their fourth report stating that human carbon dioxide emissions would cause temperature rises of up to 4.5 C by the end of the century.
Mr Svensmark claims that the calculations used to make this prediction largely overlooked the effect of cosmic rays on cloud cover and the temperature rise due to human activity may be much smaller.
He said: "It was long thought that clouds were caused by climate change, but now we see that climate change is driven by clouds.
"This has not been taken into account in the models used to work out the effect carbon dioxide has had.
"We may see CO2 is responsible for much less warming than we thought and if this is the case the predictions of warming due to human activity will need to be adjusted."
Mr Svensmark last week published the first experimental evidence from five years' research on the influence that cosmic rays have on cloud production in the Proceedings of the Royal Society Journal A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences. This week he will also publish a fuller account of his work in a book entitled The Chilling Stars: A New Theory of Climate Change.
A team of more than 60 scientists from around the world are preparing to conduct a large-scale experiment using a particle accelerator in Geneva, Switzerland, to replicate the effect of cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere.
They hope this will prove whether this deep space radiation is responsible for changing cloud cover. If so, it could force climate scientists to re-evaluate their ideas about how global warming occurs.
Mr Svensmark's results show that the rays produce electrically charged particles when they hit the atmosphere. He said: "These particles attract water molecules from the air and cause them to clump together until they condense into clouds."
Mr Svensmark claims that the number of cosmic rays hitting the Earth changes with the magnetic activity around the Sun. During high periods of activity, fewer cosmic rays hit the Earth and so there are less clouds formed, resulting in warming.
Low activity causes more clouds and cools the Earth.
According to Svensmark:
Some climate change experts have dismissed the claims as "tenuous".
Giles Harrison, a cloud specialist at Reading University said that he had carried out research on cosmic rays and their effect on clouds, but believed the impact on climate is much smaller than Mr Svensmark claims.
Mr Harrison said: "I have been looking at cloud data going back 50 years over the UK and found there was a small relationship with cosmic rays. It looks like it creates some additional variability in a natural climate system but this is small."
But there is a growing number of scientists who believe that the effect may be genuine.
Among them is Prof Bob Bingham, a clouds expert from the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils in Rutherford.
He said: "It is a relatively new idea, but there is some evidence there for this effect on clouds."

We have the flu. I don`t know if this particular strain has an official name, but if it does, it must be something like ``Martian Death Flu.`` You may have had it yourself. The main symptom is that you wish you had another setting on your electric blanket, up past ``HIGH,`` that said:
Another symptom is that you cease brushing your teeth because (a) your teeth hurt, and (b) you lack the strength. Midway through the brushing process, you`d have to lie down in front of the sink to rest for a couple of hours, and rivulets of toothpaste foam would dribble sideways out of your mouth, eventually hardening into crusty little toothpaste stalagmites that would bond your head permanently to the bathroom floor, which is how the police would find you.

As hard as it may seem to believe, we are already half way through the new year, 2017 is quite literally flying by and the year's hottest food trends are popping up just as quickly. As we all know, 2016 was the year of Gluten-Free-Everything and it looks like that trend is one that will be sticking around, however 2017 seems to be the year of all kinds of new and exciting food trends and products. We've gone ahead and compiled some of the hottest food trends so that you can try out some of this year's must-haves, before it's too late.
Edible Cookie Dough
We all know that it is nearly impossible to cook a batch of cookies without sneaking a taste or two of raw cookie dough … but we also know the stomach-ache that results when you've accidentally had one-too-many bites. Someone has FINALLY created an 'edible cookie dough' recipe and it has spread like crazy. This egg-less, gluten-free recipe is all the range and brands are jumping on the trend as quickly as they can, check out the Cookie Dough Café here.
Sleep Focused Food & Drinks
It's no secret that most of us could benefit from a little more sleep at night and while we should be getting those doctor-recommended eight hours, instead we're up browsing Instagram and LinkedIn. With an increasing number of studies suggesting that weight-gain is linked to lack of sleep, brands have noticed a gap in the market for food products designated for night-time consumption. Sleep Protein for instance, is a plant-based protein powder designed by Healthy Skoop and marketed as being guaranteed to help you sleep. If you need to catch a few extra hours of sleep than products like these are bound to find their way into your shopping cart.
Alternative Pastas
For those of you already familiar with gluten-free pasta options, this may not seem like news to you – but for the rest of us carb-loving pasta fiends, 2017 may be the year you say goodbye to traditional spaghetti and hello to zucchini noodles! Alternative pasta options such as spaghetti squash, lentil based lasagna or quinoa noodles have been all over Pinterest and with the increase in the number of 'gluten-conscious' consumers, these innovative pasta choices are likely to lead in food trends this year. Ancient Harvest is a leader in alternative pasta options and can be found here.
Vegetable Chips
Vegetable chips are not just a healthy alternative to the traditional potato chip, they are also a creative way to reduce and repurpose food waste. In a recent article, found here Liz Moskow, culinary director at Sterling-Rice Group states that vegetable chips are "driven by millennials' desire to make the earth a better place." As millennials are continuously trying to find ways "to repurpose and use things that would ordinarily be discarded." These alternative chip options are produced using the stalks, skins and/or peels of various vegetables and are sure to be all over grocery stores shelves in the coming year.
Hemp Everything (Oil, Seeds, etc.)
For years, researchers have spoken out with regards to the numerous benefits of incorporating hemp into your everyday diet and 2017 is likely to be the year that this health trend finally catches on amongst otherwise traditional consumers.

Kitchen: Western University grad tops Kickstarter with app-operated slow cooker
A Western University grad is enjoying a wave of crowdfunding support for a gadget that can cook a gourmet meal remotely with a smartphone app.
Rayner Mendes is co-founder of a company that developed the Nise Wave sous vide and has raised about $214,000 on Kickstarter to get the device launched on the market.
Sous vide (French for under vacuum) is a heating device that slow-cooks food contained in a vacuum-sealed plastic bag in a vessel of water kept at a precise temperature.
"It's an easy, accessible way for the average person to make a great meal without sacrificing a lot of time or having a lot of experience," said Mendes.
Sous vide cooking has been used by restaurants for decades because it leaves food moist and evenly cooked.
Mendes said the Nise Wave sous vide is an innovation because, at about $200, it is cheap enough for home use and can be controlled through a smartphone app, allowing busy people to prepare a meal at home while they are on the go.
The Nise Wave sous vide device cooks food, like the steak shown here, sealed in a plastic bag in water heated to a precise temperature. (SUPPLIED)
Mendes said the concept is not unlike the traditional slow cooker or crockpot but with the precision of 21st-century Wi-Fi technology.
"The algorithms will figure out how to adjust the temperature over time to get perfect results," he said.
Mendes, 24, graduated from Western last year with chemistry and business degrees. He earned a fellowship that allowed him to work for six months in China, where he came up with the idea for Nise Wave sous vide with Grant Hu, a recent University of Toronto graduate.
During the next year they developed and perfected the device and were joined by Wilfrid Laurier University grad Dorian Wilson.
The trio launched a Kickstarter campaign at kck.st/2uF6T1C in late June hoping to raise $35,000 to fund the manufacturing process. It already has raised more than $214,000, from 1,360 backers, making it the top active Kickstarter campaign in Canada.
Kickstarter contributors of more than $125 will get one-third off when the device becomes available.
The Nise Wave sous vide app comes with pre-programmed recipes.
Mendes, now based in Mississauga, said the device initially will be sold online but may appear in retail outlets in the future.
In the future the company plans to develop ready-made meal packs.

There are so many tempting makeup collections being released this month, but MAC Cosmetics' Soft Serve summer 2016 makeup line might be the most irresistible yet. The promo photos look delicious, featuring soft serve ice cream alongside the actual makeup products, with a heavy focus on the new Soft Serve eye shadow, naturally, as the namesake of the collection. What better inspiration than ice cream is there for anything relating to summer? And with a promised smooth, creamy shadow as the base of the collection, there may be more in common between ice cream and makeup than in other contexts. This yummy collection will become available online and in MAC locations internationally, on June 11, 2016.
MAC Soft Serve Shadow ($22.00)
Help yourself to a serving of MAC's latest eye product! Enjoy a smooth application with a creamy textured eye shadow, available in a lovely selection of 12 pastel shades and other vibrant hues to play against the whimsical summer atmosphere – and the names are just as tantalizing as the shades themselves. According to MAC, the shadow will apply smoothly, be long-lasting (an essential quality to combat the heat), won't crease, and will look "simply delicious." What more could you want from a delectable summer look?
• Bounce Around – light, cool taupe-silver (pearl)
• Quite Yummy! – pastel pink (satin)
• Cushy Life – light, warm, golden beige (pearl)
• Put Me To Shame – mid-tone, dirty taupe (satin)
• So So Saucy – mid-tone peach (satin)
• Plead Gilty – vibrant, sparling gold (pearl)
• Jealous Girl – mint green (satin)
• Must Be Lust – sparking, bronze-tan (pearl)
• Girls, Girls! – soft, pastel purple (satin)
• Best Make Up – light, golden highlighter (pearl)
• Big Bad Blue – soft, pastel blue (satin)
• Softened Up – mid-tone, warm brown (satin)
MAC Dare Hue! Brow Pencil (€21.00)
Continuing on with its eye makeup line, this new collection also provides light, "ice cream shades" for your eyebrows as well. Why stop the fun color at your lids? Your brows deserve to have a little fun, too, so give them a treat by adding in a fun shade of these brow pencils to go along with your eyeshadow. You can't go wrong when you cut loose and have a bit of fun.
• Violet Infused – soft lavender
• Blonde Not Bland – pastel pink
• Frisky Fresh – soft, mint green
• What A Highlight – soft, white gold highlighter
• Clearly Groomed – nude beige
MAC Brush (€27.00)
This new addition to MAC's applicators is recommended for applying this collection's Soft Serve Shadow, so if you're treating yourself to some ice cream, you might as well buy the spoon – or, rather, the shadow and brush!
• 248 Small Eye Shader

I was happy to hear that there was going to be a "Soviet Scale Modeling" forum along with Armorama and Aeroscale but I never saw it added to the "Browse Sites" group. I found it recently by accident but there's been no activity on it for quite a while.
Will somebody be picking it back up? I think there's plenty of subject material that can be covered on this forum.

As his annual Fantasy Camp wound down Sunday, Kentucky Coach John Calipari lamented the empty nest he will have at home and noted how he'll compensate for his players' empty fuel tanks.
Calipari said he would take his youngest child, son Brad, to a prep school in New England later Sunday.
"Looking at my house being kind of empty," he said. "Wait a minute. My last one's leaving. It kind of hit me in the face and (I) got a little emotional. It's just going to be (wife) Ellen and I. I mean, there's no running down the steps. 'I got to go.'"
As for the UK team, Calipari reminded reporters — though it wasn't necessary for anyone who made the trip — how taxing the recent nine-day, six-game stay to the Bahamas was.
"They're tired," he said of the UK players who sat near the Rupp Arena court watching the fantasy campers play. "We're all tired."
Calipari said he will limit the players' basketball activities to individual drills, conditioning and pickup games.
"That's enough," he said.
Meanwhile, Calipari gave the assistant coaches and staffers a task before closing the book on the Bahamas trip. He said he wanted them to prepare "a full evaluation" of Kentucky's play in the Bahamas. UK won five of six games against older players and/or pro teams based in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and France. The report should detail "what they saw, what they think," he said.
Cal: All in jest
Calipari recently appeared on Mike Francesa's radio show on New York City's WFAN. In an off-handed comment, Francesa lauded Calipari as a recruiter, but questioned Calipari's skill as an in-game strategist.
Calipari then called back to the show, disguising his voice to ask about the mixed assessment.
When asked Sunday about the exchange, Calipari described it as all playful. Not to be taken seriously, he said.
"When I called him back, it was in jest," Calipari said. "Do you really think I care what someone thinks of me as a coach?"
Calipari called Francesa a friend dating back 30 years.
Of Francesa's comments about Cal as a recruiter and strategist, the UK coach said, "He was being complimentary. But Mike doesn't know how to be complimentary."
Calipari then immediately discounted Francesa as informed about college basketball. Francesa doesn't even watch college basketball until the Final Four, the UK coach said.
As for disguising his voice (Francesa detected the ruse), Calipari said, "That was a Kentucky voice. Did that sound like it was from Kentucky?"
This year's Fantasy Camp will generate about $1 million for charities, Calipari said. The UK coach posed for pictures with representatives of more than 20 charities that will benefit.
The charities are based in such places as Lexington, Louisville, northern Kentucky, Memphis, Wilmington, N.C., and Connecticut.
The largest checks announced by Calipari were for $100,000 to Samaritan's Feet and Everfi, the latter involved in financial literacy.
Other checks on display included those for Team Focus ($75,000), the Urban League of Lexington-Fayette County ($50,000), Kentucky National Guard Memorial Fund ($50,000), Miracle League of Wilmington ($50,000), Streets Ministries ($50,000), Starkey Hearing Foundation ($50,000), St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ($25,000), Connecticut BurnCare Foundation ($20,000), the Louisville Zoo ($10,000) and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes ($5,000).
Comedy Mania
Calipari will be a co-host for what was called a Comedy Mania fund-raiser on Nov. 20 in Rupp Arena. Comedians Bill Engvall, Sinbad, Mark Christopher Lawrence and Henry Cho will headline the show.
The event will support a clean water project led by Global Sports Aid Network, a multipurpose facility in Haiti and the Samaritan's Feet charity that supplies shoes to children around the world.
Calipari and WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBase will be the hosts.
Tickets (prices begin at $35) will be available beginning Friday at Rupp Arena or by calling 1-800-745-3000.

An erratic flurry of explosive airborne destruction - Helstorm rockets are extremely powerful, if extremely unreliable, weapons from the Empire's arsenal.
The Helstorm Rocket Battery was inspired by a particularly impressive fireworks display. Early prototypes blew apart an entire floor of the Imperial Engineers School, but the soot-blackened Engineers persevered and succeeded in creating a deadly, if unpredictable, weapon. The shrieking rockets fired by this bizarre machine are wildly inaccurate weapons that have little chance of hitting anything other than (eventually) the ground. However, when these rockets do land on target, the results are devastating; entire regiments are blown apart by a series of earth-shaking explosions. After Elector Count Boris Todbringer was almost killed by an errant barrage, they were dubbed 'Helstorm' rockets after the colourful language used to reprimand the unfortunate crewmen.

How Much Can A Metal Roof Save Me?
Before you run away due the to the costs, let's examine ways in which any metal roof can you save you money in the long run.
First off, metal roofs are known as "cool roofs." Unlike other kinds of roofs, you can paint metal roofs almost any color you want. Lighter colors mean less solar heat entering your attic or top floor. This means you can reduce your air conditioner and save some money on your energy costs every month. In fact, according to HomeAdvisor, metal roofs can save you up to 40% on your energy bill.
Next, metal roofs are very durable. To no surprise, metal stands up against the elements much better than asphalt or wood. Metal roofs last as least four times as long as asphalt roofs and require much less maintenance over its lifetime.
Speaking of maintenance, roof repairs are not cheap. Luckily, metal roofs do not require nearly as much maintenance as asphalt roofs so you don't have to worry too often about a $500 repair bill. As such, the lifetime cost of metal roofs is actually cheaper than asphalt or concrete (by as much as 33%).
Metal Roofing Prices Vs. Other Roofing Materials
As you will soon see, there is no shortage of roofing options in America. In addition, even after you choose your material, there are plenty of variations within that material. For example, there are seven different kinds of metal roofs below.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing Materials
The size of each panel may vary from 12 inches to 19 inches, depending on the manufacturer, as well as the desired appearance.
Materials used in standing seam metal roofing vary. The most common type of material is galvanized steel (G-90), which provides standard protection and durability. Aluminum may also be used in standing seam metal roofing for greater corrosion resistance, though it's not quite as strong and may dent more easily. On the other hand, aluminum may be painted in a wider variety of colors. An alloy known as galvalume offers similar corrosion resistance to aluminum, though it provides the structural strength of steel. However, it is the most expensive option apart from metals like copper or zinc.
The fastening system used for the seams may vary between metal roofing jobs. The most common type is a field-locked standing seam, which requires a special tool to install the seams. Other options may make the process easier for homeowners doing the job themselves. Standing seam shingle panels are installed like metal shingles, and they may not be quite as protective but have a competitive price point. Snap lock standing seam panels offer comparable durability but may be slightly more expensive.
Standing seam metal roofing may come in pre-formed panels or site-formed panels. Site-formed panels are suggested for larger roofs, as large panels may be very difficult to transport. They require special equipment to crimp the sheets from a roll of metal coil. Pre-formed panels may cost less to install but more to transport, so you may need to do the calculations to see which option offers the greatest savings.
Other Metal Roof Considerations
Besides the cost of the raw materials and installation, there are other elements all metal roof prospects must review before signing on that dotted line.
Metal Gauges
All metals were not created equal. Besides the type of metal you buy, the gauge, or thickness of the metal, will affect the bottom line. A 29 gauge is the minimum recommended gauge for homeowners. The smaller the number, the thicker the metal. Overall, the gauge will not change the overall price too much, but it's something to consider before installing a standing seam metal roof.
As you have hopefully seen from other roofs, all standing seam metal roofs do not look the same. That's because they have different coatings. In fact, metal roof coatings protect the roof from "chalking," a white, ugly haze.
Just like painting a wall, roof painting is not necessarily difficult for the pros, but the paint itself is not cheap and should be considered in your standing seam metal roof cost.
When To Install Metal Roofs
Beyond costs, there are certainly instances where metal roofs are and are not preferred. While most scenarios below are not written in stone, they are highly recommended to follow.
Ideal Situations for Metal Roofs
- High or Moderately Low Pitch Roofs: Sadly, metal roofs are highly discouraged for flat roofs. As such, given its durability, metal roofs are recommended for pitched roofs.
- Fire Prone Climates: Metal can hold up to fire better than any other roofing material. As such, if you live in fire prone area, such as California, metal roofs are highly recommended.
- Hot Areas: As we already touched on, metal roofs are cool, ensuring humid temperatures don't make their way through your roof. As such, metal roofs are ideal for many states in the South or West Coast.
Ideal Situations for Other Roofs
- Flat Roofs: You can not install a metal roof on a flat roof.
- Colder Climates: Just as metal roofs work well for warm climates, they lose some of their purpose in colder climates. That's why you rarely see metal roofs in the Midwest or on the East Coast.
Advantages Of Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing may be the best choice for homeowners in need of premium roofing solutions. The advantages of standing seam metal roofing include:
Shingles have both horizontal seams and vertical seams. The seams tend to be the weak points in a roofing structure, and if the home is subject to extreme weather, wind and rain may get in underneath the shingles and damage the roof or the rest of the house. Standing seam metal roofing only has the seams between the large panels running unhindered from ridge to eaves. The few seams that this type of roofing does have are protected by the fasteners connecting the metal sheets. This adds an extra layer of durability against the elements, reduces the chances of moisture getting into the house and strengthens the overall structural integrity of the building.
Metal roofing is considered a "cool roof" material by the United States EPA. No matter what color the roof is, it will reflect solar heat and prevent heat gain in the summer. This is ideal for warm climates as it can reduce the cost of air conditioning. Of course, painting the roof a lighter color will produce a better result. Standing seam metal roofing can withstand a beating from violent winds and rain. It is fireproof and resistant to mold, water damage and other environmental concerns that plague homeowners. It also easily sheds snow and ice. Warranties are generally 50 years to life.
Standing seam metal roofing is generally more expensive than asphalt shingles, but it is less expensive than options, such as copper, while providing many similar benefits. Standing seam roofs give a home a smooth appearance. The straight lines running up and down give it a modern flair ideal for contemporary, country-style and other modern homes. They offer an upscale, "industrial chic" sort of feeling, which is becoming more and more stylish. Asphalt shingles and other forms of roofing tend to have limited color options because of the way they are manufactured, but this is not the case for standing seam metal roofing. Metal roofing comes in many different colors, and you may even be able to find custom colors to perfect a particular vision.
Disadvantages Of Standing Seam Metal Roofing
The disadvantages of standing seam metal roofing mainly have to do with the cost and the difficulty in finding home improvement contractors who will install it. We touched on the costs above, but unlike other roofing materials, most roofers can not install standing seam metal roofs. The process is much more involved for the contractor and as such, requires unique experience to get the job done right.
Finally, metal roofs are not recommended for flat or low pitch roofs.
Metal Roofing Facts
We have gone over almost all the ins and outs of metal roofs, but sometimes, you just need to see the facts. If you're still not convinced that metal roofing is your best bet, take a look these seven quick facts for all metal roofs.
- Metal roofing can be applied over your existing roof
- Metal is the preferred choice for low pitch roofs
- Metal roofing is fireproof and resistant to mold and water damage
- Metal roofing does not attract lightening
- Metal roofing lasts longer than asphalt shingle roofing
- Metal roofing is very hard to repair (if needed)
- Standing seam metal roofing is generally more expensive than asphalt shingles
DIY Or Hire A Pro?
After reading all there is to know about standing seam metal roofing, you can decide if it's right for you. However, before doing so, you have to determine if you need to hire a professional roofer for the installation.
To no surprise, roof installation is no easy task. It involves a lot of heavy lifting, roofing experience and working from compromised positions. After all, you can't fall 12 feet while putting up a picture frame or reglazing your bathtub. In addition, since most metal roofs come in 1-2' panels, they can be heavy for some. Overall, your safety can be compromised if you don't know what you're doing. Therefore, we highly recommend you let the pros install your standing seam metal roof.
Find A Pro
New roofs are expensive, but as you read above, a standing seam metal roof comes with plenty of benefits. If those benefits outweigh your cons, consider talking with a local roofing pro to get the most accurate quote.

Open Thread: Friends and Family and Everyone Else
Here's a place to talk about the relationships in your life whenever you want.
I have a vague hate-on for Southwest Airlines, in a general way. Oh, I know people who love them for their wicked cheap fares and ... their wicked cheap fares, I guess.
Luckily for me, I live in a city thoroughly serviced by my own favorite cheap airline, JetBlue. Yes, I am totally endorsing JetBlue as my personal carrier of choice. Given my existing disdain for Southwest, I'm including the following story as another nail in their gross Sports-Illustrated-swimsuit-issue-themed coffin. (Oh, you didn't know Southwest had a Sports-Illustrated-swimsuit-issue-themed plane? Surprise!)
Last week, a Southwest pilot's misogynist and homophobic tirade found its way onto YouTube, where jerks aplenty can now post comments about how awesome it is. This pilot, a delightful specimen of manhood, apparently did not know his microphone was live and transmitting his woman-hating gay-bashing spew to many other pilots and air traffic controllers.
So he spent a few minutes describing how difficult his manly manly life is -- even as the other people on the channel kept asking him to shut up -- and expressing his disgust at the dearth of bangable chicks on his recent routes. He complains that all the flight attendants have been either "gays" or "grannies".
To be precise: ""Eleven f**king over the top f**king, ass-f**king homosexuals and a granny... Eleven. I mean, think of the odds of that... After that, i was just a continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes…Well I don't give a f**k. I hate 100 percent of their asses."
Also, I'm presuming "grandes" is a derogatory term for fat ladies? I actually kind of dig that. GRANDE. Like a BURRITO.
If you needed a reason to hate a dude today, you can listen to this dude's unedited potty-mouthed shenanigans via the magic of YouTube. For the love of god, do not read the comments.
This is not an issue specific to Southwest by any means, rather this kind of grotesque misogyny happens across numerous professional fields, though it may be especially bad in the boys' club that is commercial airline pilot-dom.
So what did Southwest do, when all this came to light? The pilot was "disciplined" (I imagine this means someone yelled at him "DUDE CHECK YOUR MIC"), briefly suspended and then made to attend diversity training before he could return to work.
I've been to a few diversity trainings in my time, so I am dubious that this experience has actually changed this pilot in any way. But hey, the good news is this guy is back flying planes, in charge of the lives of hundreds of people -- over half of whom he hates, by his own admission. It'd be a shame to see a guy with such a cavalier attitude about the people he works with (and for) put out of a job.
Given broader context, it's not altogether surprising that this pilot felt like it was totally cool to bend the ear of everyone around with his tale of woe. Ain't no ladies listening, am I right?
According to 2007 data collected by the Federal Aviation Authority, women pilots represent 6 percent of commercial airline pilots. That's right. Six. Percent. I almost can't get my head around that number.
I am hardly a wide-eyed innocent on the issue of institutionalized sexism, and even I shake my head and marvel at it. How can this be? But is it any wonder, if this 1960s-esque flight-attendants-are-for-bangin' attitude persists?
A female commercial airline pilot lives in my building. She is the first female commercial airline pilot I have ever met, and I admit to a morbid fascination with her, as in all my many years of flying -- and I do a fair amount of flying, 10 to 12 flights per year -- I have never heard a woman's voice come crackling over the plane's PA system, identifying herself as the pilot. And I have always wondered why.
Every flight, I think, "This could be the one!" But it never happens. There is nothing intrinsically and biologically male about piloting a plane, is there? You don't need a penis to steer.
And so I am curious about the lady pilot, a fact I have never been good at hiding. Once, in the elevator, making small talk, my husband cheerfully asked her what her job was like. Her response? "It's lonely."
It was a matter-of-fact statement, but just saying it aloud seemed to tire her out. She was clearly on her way home from the airport, nondescript carry-on suitcase in tow, dark uniform blazer folded over her arm. She offered no further explanation, but let the admission hang uncomfortably in the air between us.
"It's lonely" is not a reaction that invites further inquiry; at least not of a stranger. I assumed she meant that it was difficult to maintain friendships and other relationships outside of work, maybe, what with all the traveling and the long shifts. I didn't ask. I didn't want to pry, and I was glad when the elevator doors opened and I could escape.
Now I wonder if this is what she meant.

Ha, nothing to add but I really enjoyed reading that!
Just a bit of an update. I spoke with a nice lady at CSC Services on Tuesday. She gave me another fax number to send the documents directly to them, saying it might take EQ a couple of days to even start pushing the papers to them. Amazing how easy things go when one initiates a conversation with "How're you doing this morning?" I was on and off the phone in all of five minutes and change.
I have also received an automated e-mail from EQ saying that the reinvestigation has begun. So far, so good. Hopefully Zephram and Melvin get it right this time!
Also, ScoreWatch alert woke me up last night, but I certainly did not mind. 579 to 603. Gave me an excuse to go snag a cookie from the kitchen to celebrate another small victory.
This thread cracked me up. I'm waiting patiently for EQ to update as well. Other 2 did right away. I'm having trouble with GERCB. I've sent a couple of GW's for 3 30 day lates from 2009. No luck. Just mailed a GW to a head honcho so hoping I hear something positive soon.
EQ is slow but they finally deleted a CA from my report yesterday. They ca sent the request last monday!
@RN67 - I have a name to use for that if you want/need.
Got brave after reading multiple success stories with WFNNB, so I found a fax number for them and dashed off another GW letter. Let's see how they do.
AWESOME! Can you PM me please? Thank you so much!!
And it's not Melvin or Zephram.
How many employees of CSC does it take to screw in a light bulb. . . or tend a reinvestigation?
Apparently, it's three.
I pulled up the investigation site with the last confirmation number I had stored in my e-mail just to see if the feathers had been ruffled. Three new investigations with three unique confirmation numbers? Can't say I've seen that happen before. Does anyone have a touch of insight as to why a single fax about a single item underwent mitosis and turned into either the witch scene from Macbeth ("Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd! Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd! Round about the cauldron go!")?
Hope I haven't opened a proverbial can o' worms, though I've no clue why simple submission of "I'm right and you're not. Fix it, please." would have some adverse effect like that. Ideas, hypotheses, and witticisms appreciated.
Does anyone have some solid contact info for Comenity/WFNNB as far as GW purposes go?
I'd like to see if I can be as convincing to them for an old DressBarn account I opened for my ex-wife during the first marriage.
I sent them a letter via fax, but I have a feeling it might have found its way into the "Pfft, really?" bin. If I were to get these cats to flatline the history, I'd
be in the proverbial high cotton (couple of 60s dancing about and blowing spitballs everywhere).
Also, in the "sweet deal" section of things, I got an e-mail from Merrick's customer service today. They amped my limit up by another $300 to a very
nice $1500. That's the second bump in six months!
