I recently hit level 99 with my SMN and now working on getting the remaining 4 avatars (Alex, Odin, Fenrir, Diabolos) and AF/RELIC gear.
If someone could, please post what the ideal* endgame gear would be. I've heard different opinions from many different people. I'm not sure what exactly to work towards because i keep getting pulled in all different directions with it.
*Also side note, what is the Pitchfork Trick to get the whispers for Fenrir? Can i solo all the avatars now at level 99 in order to get the Whispers for Fenrir?

120 players assembled for the first day of the 34th London Open, held again at ISH, Great Portland Street, though a few players expected did not arrive. Special guest was the teaching professional from Amsterdam, Guo Juan. In the Open it was the Chinese players (Shaoyou Ouyang and Ting Li) who would prove the toughest opposition to the favourite, the Korean from Berlin: Seul-Ki Hong. The top board in round 1 was not broadcast live due to a technical problem, but after that games are being broadcast over the Internet using Pandanet (IGS).
Game Record Round 1 Board 1 - Hong v Salo
Game Record Round 2 Board 1 - Hong v Kuin
On day 2 there were some tough games between the 6 and 7 dans. After four rounds Shaoyou Ouyang from London and Seul-Ki Hong from Berlin were unbeaten at the top. Also on 4 were Paul Barnard (1 kyu Swindon), Xavier Chaumat (2 kyu Paris) and Piotr Radzikowski (6 kyu Poland). In the evening Guo Juan played simuls and the lightning tournament was held. 42 players took part and the 8 that won through from the group stage were: Davide Bertok, Jenny Radcliffe, Baron Allday, Antti Holappa, Anna Marconi, Jonathan Turner, Ting Li and Julio Martinez. In the semis Julio beat Anna and Ting beat Jonathan. Winner of the tense 7-stone final game was Julio Martinez (4 kyu Barcelona), beating Ting Li (6 dan Beijing). These two players received the prizes of £100 and £50 donated by the Nippon Club.
Game Record Round 3 Board 1 - Ge v Mero
Game Record Round 4 Board 1 - Ouyang v Ting
On day 3, Shaoyou Ouyang beat Hong and then Lluis Oh to take a clear lead. Hong and Ting ended the day on 5 wins. The three players unbeaten by round 4 won one more game each and were joined by 6 more kyu players on 5 wins. In the evening Guo Juan made a lecture to a crowded room, whilst 8 teams played the Pair Go Tournament. Winners were Dominique Cornuejols and Toru Imamura.
Game Record Round 5 Board 1 - Ouyang v Hong
Game Record Round 6 Board 1 - Ouyang v Oh
On day 4 there was only one game in the Open, the last round, as there was no round 8 this year. A huge crowd gathered to watch if Csaba Mero could upset Shaoyou Ouyang's unbeaten record, but he failed, allowing the Chinese 6 dan from London to be the worthy winner. Hong beat Ting Li in the crucial match for second place. Ting got third on SOS tie-break. All players on 4 wins got a London Open certificate and those on 5 or more got a marble paper weight. Winners of 6 games were Xavier Chaumat (2 kyu Paris), Piotr Radzikowski (6 kyu Poland), Peter Harold-Barry (9 kyu St. Albans), Arnaud Delattre (11 kyu France) and Edward Marshall (12 kyu Isle of Man). Just before the prize ceremony Guo Juan reviewed Shaoyou's last game and after it there was an informal 4-round Rengo tournament of twelve mixed size teams. The final was won by Spain's Julio Martinez and Lluis Oh, beating the UK's Jenny Radcliffe, Xinyi Lu and organiser Geoff Kaniuk. The last event was the New Year's Eve meal at a nearby Indian restaurant.
Game Record Round 7 Board 1 - Ouyang v Mero
6th There was a record turnout of 42 players this year. Emerging top of the pile at the end to scoop the whisky was the Glasgow-based Swede Peter Dahlgren (2 kyu), followed by Piotr Wisthal (1 dan Aberdeen). One other player achieved 4 wins: James Hadfield (17 kyu Durham). Besides Piotr, a further 9 players achieved 3 wins: Alex Robertson (19 kyu Edinburgh), Rosie Handford (15 kyu St Andrews), Colin Morey (9 kyu Chester), John Shafer (9 kyu Durham), Jenny Radcliffe (8 kyu Durham), Ron Bell (5 kyu Melrose), Jim Cook (4 kyu Edinburgh), Colin Bavidge (3 kyu Newcastle) and Helen Harvey (3 kyu Manchester).
After Robbie Miller defeating Neil McLean in the 2007 final a month before, also determined were the 2008 Scottish championship semi-finals: Edwin Brady versus Robbie Miller and Piotr Wisthal versus John O'Donnell.
31 players took part this year. Shawn Hearn (6 kyu Bracknell) won all his games, beating Francis Roads (3 dan Wanstead) in the final. Ken Kneller (8 kyu Wanstead) also won all four games beating Andrew Bell (25 kyu London) in the last round. As well as Francis and Andrew, Andy Price (11 kyu Leamington), Mark Nubbert (4 kyu West Surrey), Neil Cleverly (8 kyu Bournemouth), Chia Hung Lin (6 kyu York University) and Pauline Bailey (16 kyu West Surrey) all won 3. The prize in the 13x13 competition went to Xinyi Lu (5 kyu Maidenhead). The Monopoly board quiz was won jointly by Malcolm Hagan and Pauline Bailey (aided by Gerry Mills). The James Bond theme tune quiz was won by Tony Atkins. On the previous day some 16 students were taught various subjects by teachers Bill Brakes, Francis Roads, Tony Atkins and Paul Tabor. Melissa Ridderhof was the best at Pits card game.
The National Space Centre in Leicester was again the venue for the second East Midlands Tournament. The 54 players could look at the exhibits for free between games or eat lunch under the jets of a rocket. Winner was a Chinese player from Nottingham, Hui Wang (4 dan); he beat Rujun Yang (3 dan) from Worcester in the last round. Some of the group from Aston School won all three: Hamzah Reta (18 kyu) and Mazhar Warraich (14 kyu). Also on three were Jonathan Green (9 kyu Leamington) and Alban Chauvin (3 kyu Teesside). Leicester Club won the team prize as two of their number won three: Ben Ellis (8 kyu) and Peter Roberts (18 kyu Derby).
After a year break, the Wanstead Tournament was back on with new organisers at the usual venue of Wanstead House, the community centre in East London. A rush of late entries saw 46 players take part. Winner with 4/4 was the Chinese player living in London, Shaoyou Ouyang (5 dan). Trophies were awarded for three wins to Felix Wang (3 dan London), Jaeup Kim (5 dan Reading), Phil Beck (1 dan Cambridge), Roger Daniel (4 kyu Wanstead), Fred Holroyd (6 kyu Milton Keynes), Ed Wormington (6 kyu St Albans), Aurimas Jasulaitis (8 kyu), Richard Scholefield (11 kyu Milton Keynes) and Michael Webster (14 kyu London).

The Wessex Tournament repeated its new three round format and venue of the J.N. Fear Institute in Keynsham near Bristol, on the day the clocks went back. Regrettably it didn't get the support it deserved with only half the previous attendance at 24. As well as the BGA selling books, Bristol Club were selling off old sets and magazines. Winner was Jaeup Kim (5 dan Reading). He was the only player with 3/3 and beat Paul Christie (3 dan Bath) in the last round. Players winning the lower divisions were Ian Sharpe (2 kyu Bath), Neil Moffatt (5 kyu Cardiff) and Pauline Bailey (17 kyu West Surrey). Peter Collins won the Fred Guyatt 13x13 competition and Reading won the team trophy.
The autumn team event was held at the ISH, home of the Central London Go Club. The Central London Go Club team failed to use the home advantage this time and came last with 6 points. The winners instead were the Nippon Club with 9 points. China and Friends (8) and Wanstead (7) took the other two places. Players winning all 3 games were Shaoyau Ouyang, Andrew Jones and Hiroshi Tamura.
After a short interval of 15 years the Belfast Go Tournament returned. 22 players took part in the rather rapid event, held at the Crescent Arts Centre. It was won by co-organiser Ian Davis (1 dan Belfast) on 4/4. In Second place, on tiebreak, was Noel Mitchell (2 dan Dublin), ahead of Claas Roever (1 kyu Galway). Also on 4 wins was Costin Camarasu (17 kyu), while Arthur Cater (8 kyu) won 3 games. Many competitors opted to take a bye to play simultaneous teaching games with visiting 5 dan professional, Catalin Taranu.
59 players attended the Open University for the 19th Milton Keynes Tournament. Bei Ge was playing last year's winner Alex Selby in the Title Match so there was a new tournament winner. This was Shaoyou Ouyang (5 dan London) who beat David Ward (4 dan Cambridge) in the last round. Hui Wang (4 dan Nottingham) was equal second with David. Winning 3/3 were Andrew Simons (2 dan Cambridge), Paul Tabor (1 dan Epsom), Mark Todkill (3 kyu Wanstead), Edwina Lee (5 kyu Maidenhead), Peter Fisher (6 kyu Leicester), Gary Gibson (10 kyu Wanstead) and Dwayne McCormack (11 kyu Leicester).

As well as the baked potato lunch, after the prize giving everyone was given a tasty Milton Keynes concrete cow biscuit before several players and organisers headed to a local Chinese buffet.
The 2007 Fife Go Tournament in Cupar was the most successful event yet, attracting 28 players from all over the UK. Again, the tournament was run as a Swiss handicap, and for the first time used AGA rules. The strongest player on 4 wins, and therefore the winner on tie-break, was Russell Ward (7 kyu Aberdeen). Also on four wins was Paul McKenzie (13 kyu Kinglassie). Prizes for three wins went to Gerry Mills (1 dan Swindon), Michael Smith (4 kyu Edinburgh), Jonny Kiehlmann (8 kyu St Andrews), Quintin Connell (12 kyu Glasgow) and Alex Robertson (20 kyu Edinburgh). After the tournament several players enjoyed a curry and some informal go in a local pub.
The 11th edition of the Swindon tournament was held, like last time, at the Even Swindon Community Centre. This year it was switched from November in order to help spread out the autumn events. 45 players entered and the winner was Jaeup Kim, the Korean 5 dan living in Reading. Prizes for three wins went to Alex Bell (2 dan Oxford), Jim Clare (2 dan Reading) and Helen Harvey (3 kyu Manchester). Also a prize went to Fred Holroyd (6 kyu Milton Keynes) for 2 wins and a walk over.
18 players took part in the Cornish Handicap Tournament on the Saturday in Penzance. Winner of the Go Bowls trophy was Swindon's Eric Hall (5 kyu). He beat Bristol's Peter Collins (3 kyu) in the final. 20 players took part in the Cornwall Tournament on the Sunday. Winner of the tournament was Shige Uno (5 dan) who plays at the Nippon Club in London when in the UK. He would have received the Devon Go Stone but the trophy was not present. However he did receive one of the usual wooden stones, as did Rob White (5 kyu West Cornwall) for 3/3 and Elinor Brooks (8 kyu Swindon) for 2.5. Elinor also received a fan as best lady and John Culmer received a fan as the organiser, special gifts from Mr Uno.
The Northern was successfully revived as a one-day 3-round tournament in Stockport, at the Masonic Guildhall. 20 players attended on a rather damp day, and Gerry Mills brought the BGA bookstall. Matthew Ardron (10 kyu Sheffield) won a prize by winning all 3 games, but the overall winner was Norbert Bittner (1 dan Manchester) who also won all his games.
Held at the United Reformed Church in Potters Bar, Herts, the 11th MSO had several Go events. The final event on Bank Holiday Monday was the new Korean Ambassador's Cup. The top 8 UK players from the MSO Open battled over 3 rounds with a trip to Korea at stake for the second Korean Prime Minister's Cup. Winner of the final was British Champion Bei Ge. Second was Matthew Cocke. Third on tie-break was Alistair Wall. They all received engraved crystal glass trophies from Mr Choi, Director of the Korean Cultural Centre at the Embassy.

She beat Paul Smith in the final and took the gold MSO trophy for her 5 wins overall. Paul's 4 wins got him the silver trophy. Worthy winner of the bronze trophy and a gold junior MSO trophy was Oscar Selby (40 kyu Epsom), who is not yet 5 years old but won 4 games. 8 took part.
Sunjang Baduk, the ancient Korean variant of Go, with a fixed starting position, was the battlefield for this year's BGA online tournament. Of the 20 players competing, Norwegian player Roy-Andre Kirkebo was the winner, with an unbeaten 5/5. In second place was Oxford student Mark Nubbert, just ahead of Matthew Crosby. Steven Donlon won the prize for best player under 5 kyu.
The sixth Epsom Tournament was held in National Go Week like last year.

The home of BGJ Editor Barry Chandler in Winnersh (Berks) was the venue for the long weekend of the Challengers' League. The top players from the Candidates' joined with British Champion Bei Ge to decide who will play this year's title match. Bei took an early lead and won all seven games to take first place. Surprisingly Matthew Macfadyen only won 4 games; his losing scores only totalling 4.5! Alex Selby lost his first game, but then won his next 4 and the last one to end on 5 wins and clear second place; his wins against Matthew Macfadyen and Sam Aitken were both half-pointers. So Alex will challenge Bei Ge for the British Champion's title. This is only the second time since 1977 that the final will not involve Matthew Macfadyen, who ended third. Also on 4 wins was David Ward, on 3 Des Cann, 2 T Mark Hall and William Brooks, and on 1 Sam Aitken. Tony Atkins was referee and ensured all went well and with Barry's help four games at the weekend were broadcast live on KGS.

The British Lightning took place on the Friday evening in the Diamond on the modern part of the college, across the road from the red-brick main building. It was played on the Swiss system. After 5 rounds Phil Beck (1 dan Cambridge) and Dave Buckley (1 dan Leamington) were unbeaten. Afterwards many retired to the pub to play Pits and so on.
The British Open attracted 98 players, including several 5 and 6 dans. The top boards were not in the Diamond, but in an "ivory tower", a room over the gateway to the old building. The sunny weather afforded a chance to review some games outside amongst the cherry blossom. At the end of the first day everyone was surprised that the leader was Sam Aitken (3 dan) who had beaten the past two British Champions.
The BGA AGM was held on the Saturday evening from 18:50 to 20:35 in the Diamond, after which tables had been reserved in three different Asian restaurants in town.

House Democrats unanimously elected Rep. Steny H. Hoyer to the number two post of minority whip yesterday, making him the leadership's most visible centrist and Maryland's highest-ranking member of Congress ever.
With Democrats reeling from historic setbacks in last week's House and Senate elections, Hoyer, 63, vowed to close rifts between the party's liberal and moderate factions and disputed claims that a new leadership team headed by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) represented a lurch to the left.
"Today's leadership election was not about Democrats moving from one place on the political spectrum to another," Hoyer said, asserting that most Americans agree with Democratic stands on the economy, education, Social Security and the environment. "Our task now is to promote a clear, positive agenda . . . which unifes Democrats -- liberal or conservative -- and appeals to independent voters."
Allies said Hoyer's victory by acclamation positions him to build a national identity after a career of behind-the-scenes work. The 12-term incumbent from Southern Maryland was the party's caucus chairman from 1989 to 1994, its high-mileage candidate recruiter for three straight elections and the sponsor of bipartisan but low-visibility initiatives including national election reform and congressional pay raises.
As whip, Hoyer will operate a vote-counting organization and be tasked with crafting unifying party positions and responses to the GOP. He said he had made no personnel decisions but would build on Pelosi's work as whip.
The job has been a steppingstone to the leader's or even speaker's post. But advancement will be more difficult because Democrats haven't claimed a majority in the House for eight years and Republicans now control the White House and both houses of Congress.
Hoyer, who represented the liberal and heavily African American inner Prince George's suburbs for a decade before he was redistricted in 1990 into a Southern Maryland seat with a rural flavor, was embraced by southern and western Democratic conservatives who have felt increasingly jeopardized by the party's recent weak showing.
While he called President Bush's tax cut plan "a time bomb," Hoyer has supported free trade, a strong military and a balanced budget amendment, and he works often with Republicans.
Rep. Charles W. Stenholm (Tex.), a founder of the fiscally conservative "Blue Dogs" Democratic caucus, was one of five members who nominated Hoyer in a closed-door meeting, where Stenholm issued remarks that listeners took as pointed at Pelosi, whom Republicans have sought to label a liberal "San Francisco Democrat."
"Hoyer has shown what it takes to win in a swing district by winning in one," Stenholm said. "He's a leader who can come to all 435 districts and campaign."
Also speaking for Hoyer were Rep. Barney Frank (Mass.), John Lewis (Ga.), Baron Hill (Ind.) and Lucille Roybal-Allard (Calif.).
"He will give everyone a voice," said Rep. Jim Matheson (Utah), who barely won reelection in one of the country's most Republican states. "That's important to members like me."
For Maryland, the promotion of Hoyer -- a longtime Democratic titan who once served as state Senate president -- marks a watershed. The Free State has never produced a speaker, majority or minority leader, or majority whip.
As the state's highest-ranking House official, Hoyer pledged that "Maryland's interests will be at the table all the time. That doesn't mean they'll always be served . . . but we'll have the opportunity to make our points on things that Maryland needs and wants."
Hoyer maintains scrupulous lists of 19,000 federal jobs and billions in funds he has steered home or defended in Maryland as a senior member of the Appropriations Committee. He played a key role in the state's congressional redistricting, which helped the Democrats win two more seats in Maryland this year.
Hoyer's election also creates an interesting dynamic among the House Democratic leadership. Pelosi's brother and father served as Baltimore mayor, and her father, Thomas J. D'Alesandro Jr., also served in Congress. Hoyer and Pelosi met in the 1960s as young aides to then-U.S. Sen. Daniel Brewster (D-Md.).
The pair vowed to form a solid team and both will be judged on the results in 2004, but they have clashed recently. Pelosi supported Hoyer in his first, unsuccessful run for whip in 1991. But she ran against him last year and won the number two spot 118 to 95.
Hoyer pledged his loyalty yesterday and praised Pelosi as "not only an historic figure" -- as the first woman elected to lead either party in Congress -- "but one of America's great politicians, who understands that bringing people together is what the Democratic Party and what our democracy is all about."
Pelosi, whose supporters rallied to her former foe, introduced Hoyer, cheering: "Yeah, Steny!"
At an afternoon reception, Hoyer proudly introduced Stefanie and Anne, two of his three daughters; their husbands; and two granddaughters, all from Maryland. He also recalled his wife, Judith, who died in 1997.
He also urged Democrats to stay the course, noting that pundits mistakenly pronounced the GOP all but dead in 1964 and Democrats on life support in 1972. Hoyer said President Bush and Republicans exploited the White House bully pulpit and Sept. 11, 2001, to build a campaign around national security.
"Sometimes the voters don't hear us right away, not because the message is wrong or the messenger makes a mistake," he said. "We need to stay on principle."

Spanish Court Reverses Course: Says Linking To Infringing Material Is A Crime
from the political-maneuvering dept
However, while the existing law stands, it's a bit surprising to see that one Spanish court has gone completely in the other direction and found the operators of a couple sites to be guilty of criminal copyright infringement, for which they may face a year in jail, in addition to fines. The lawyer for one of the guys suggests that this ruling is a result of politics, not the law. It's hard not to think that way given how it appears to fly in the face of most other decisions in Spain. I would imagine that there's still going to be an appeal in the case before it's really settled.

Rollover crash closed lane of I-43 near Sheboygan
Rollover crash closed lane of I-43 near Sheboygan
SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, Wis. —
A rollover crash in Sheboygan County left one person trapped inside the vehicle.
Deputies said the crash took place around 6:20 a.m. on Interstate 43 just south of Highway 28.
A southbound pickup truck entered the median and ended up on its side on top of a guardrail alongside the northbound lanes.
Deputies said one person was trapped inside, but all injuries in the single-vehicle crash appear to be minor.
The left-hand northbound lane was closed until 8 a.m. while crews worked to remove the truck.

CANNES, France (AP) — RAZING THE CANNES FESTIVAL "BUNKER"?
The eyes of Italian film icon Marcello Mastroianni stare out cooly behind sunglasses on the huge poster across the Cannes Film Festival's sprawling 1970s-style building. But if the event's outgoing president had his wish, it would be plastered on a different structure.
Gilles Jacob has stirred controversy by calling the red-carpeted, white retro complex — which has been hosting the festival for four dazzling decades — anything but "cool."
Speaking to local media this week, Jacob called the 1979 behemoth "ill-adapted" and too dated for the needs of the world's most glamorous film festival, and suggested that the "bunker" be razed.
He proposed a more modern building to secure the prestige of the festival, which has witnessed over 67 years of cinema's most famous stars.
"We're therefore asking for a Grand Palace to be built ... that's befitting of the world's No. 1 cultural event," said Jacob.
Not everyone agrees with his assessment. Cannes' mayor, David Lisnard, has defended the festival hall, saying it's fit for its purpose and will stay put. The city has the final say on its fate.

Israel has said "No" to France's proposal for a 48-hour "humanitarian truce" in Gaza:
Israel on Wednesday rejected a French proposal for a 48-hour cease-fire in the Gaza Strip to allow the flow of humanitarian aid into the bombarded coastal territory. …
"That proposal contained no guarantees of any kind that Hamas will stop the rockets and smuggling," Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said. "It is not realistic to expect Israel to cease fire unilaterally with no mechanism to enforce the cessation of shooting and terror from Hamas." …
"There's no such thing as a 'humanitarian cease-fire'," an Olmert aide said Tuesday. "Gaza is not undergoing a humanitarian crisis. We're constantly supplying it with food and medications, and there's no need for a humanitarian cease-fire."
It sounds, however, as though Israel gave the French proposal serious consideration and may go along with a similar initiative in the near future. The AP's account quotes an Olmert spokesman:
Overnight, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert discussed a 48-hour truce proposal floated by France with his foreign and defense ministers. The meeting ended with a decision to continue the punishing aerial campaign.
"Giving Hamas a respite just to regroup, rearm is a mistake," Olmert spokesman Mark Regev said. "The pressure on the Hamas military machine must continue." …
The AP's account of Hamas' reaction suggests a truce would be pointless:
A Hamas spokesman said militants wouldn't halt their rocket and mortar fire until Israel ended its blockade. "If they halt the aggression and the blockade, then Hamas will study these suggestions," Mushir Masri said.
Israel fears that opening crossings with Gaza would allow Hamas–which remains officially committed to Israel's destruction–to strengthen its hold on the territory even further.
Of course, Israel imposed the blockade in the first place in response to Hamas' rocket and mortar attacks.
Last night, the head of Israel's Shin Bet gave ministers a positive account of the impact of the aerial attack so far:
"Hamas has been attacked as it has never been attacked before; it has suffered serious damage and its governability in Gaza has been severely impaired," Diskin told ministers at a meeting of the security cabinet.
The Shin Bet head added that many of Hamas's senior activists were hiding out in mosques and hospitals in Gaza, some of them in the guise of doctors and male nurses.
"Some of them have turned dozens of mosques into command and control centers on the assumption that Israel won't attack those places," he said. "Their development laboratories have been completely destroyed. Their tunnel system has sustained heavy damage. Hamas is trying to utilize [what remains] so that their operatives can escape to Egypt."
Meanwhile, Israel has opened one of the crossings into Gaza to allow caravans carrying humanitarian aid access to the Strip.
UPDATE: Obliterating the smuggling tunnels between Egypt and Gaza has been a key objective of the current stage of the bombing. This photo shows the Palestinian end of a destroyed tunnel, and conveys a sense of how large and professionally constructed they are. Note the guy standing in the middle of the photo:

School worker's Facebook post prompts suspension
Two month sin binning for calling classes 'bad'
Exclusive A member of staff at a school near Cleethorpes has been suspended on full pay for more than two months for briefly commenting on the behaviour of pupils on Facebook.
The 35-year-old woman, Mrs M, who worked as a cover supervisor at Humberston Comprehensive School close to the Lincolnshire seaside town, is currently awaiting the result of an investigatory hearing, which could lead to her dismissal.
The conversation at the centre of the case
Mrs M made the comments on March 20 in a Facebook conversation with one of the school's teachers, who had complained about the behaviour of a year eight class. The cover supervisor, who is not a fully qualified teacher, wrote: "And by the way 8g1 are just as bad as 8g2, and that's how I finished my day today LOL."
It's unknown how the conversation came to the notice of school authorities, but Mrs M received notice on April 2 that she was suspended from duty "potentially bringing the school into disrepute" because of it. The investigatory hearing was held two weeks ago.
The teacher who made the original complaint about pupil behaviour at the school, which was placed in special measures this January, was not suspended.
The woman is unable to discuss her case publicly due to confidentiality rules surrounding disciplinary procedures. People close to the case, however, claimed her Facebook profile made no mention of the Humberston Comprehensive School.
It's not known when the investigatory panel will report on Mrs M's case. A source close to the school said it remained "in limbo".
Unison, Mrs M's union, had not responded to a request for comment on the case at time of publication.
A spokeswoman for North East Lincolnshire Council, which is responsible for education in Cleethorpes, declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
Schools across the UK have grappled with the issues raised by the rise of social networking. In November a primary school teacher in Cardiff was found guilty of professional misconduct when it was found she spent up to four hours per day on sites including Facebook.
Pupils have also been disciplined for their behaviour online. In January, 29 girls were suspended from a Church school in Westminster for setting up "The Hate Society", a Facebook page dedicated to abuse of an individual teacher. ®

We really appreciate my son's tutor Sandra.
In my son's words "She's really nice and she never tries to rush me".
And from my perspective, she's patient, effective, enthusiastic, and supportive. She's also kind, imaginative, firm and flexible.
Best regards,
M and S
I have never used another company but with the service we received I would not even think of going to someone else. My daughter was close to failing Math and Science and will now finish the year with a high B or A. She is already talking about having your tutor teach her next year. Thank you so much for sending her to us. It was so easy and painless to sign up in your program. I have already given your number to some of my staff at work.
You introduced this great tutor to me and my son was so happy with her. She had a special talent of teaching which everyone doesn't have. My son started with ZERO knowledge in CHEMISTRY. For his First term he got only 72 for Chemistry 12 and this term he got 98 which was a tremendous improvement!

Cancer is a disease in which cells grow in an abnormal way. Normally, the cells divide in a controlled manner. If cells keep dividing when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue called a tumor forms.
A tumor can be benign or malignant. A benign tumor is not cancer and will not spread to other parts of the body. A malignant tumor is cancer. Cancer cells invade and damage tissue around them. They can also enter the lymph and blood streams, spreading to other parts of the body. Prostate cancer is the development of malignant cells in the prostate gland.
Normal Anatomy and the Development of Prostate Cancer
The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. It is located in the pelvic region, under the bladder and adjacent to the rectum. The walnut-sized gland surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine outside the body from the bladder. It makes and stores seminal fluid, which is needed to keep sperm healthy. During ejaculation, the prostate releases the seminal fluid into the urethra where it combines with sperm to make semen.
Cell division and cell death are a normal process in the body to replace old or damaged cells. Male hormones (androgens) are needed for the prostate to function normally and help it remain its normal size. As men age the prostate changes and grows, and androgen levels decrease. These influences may cause changes in the cells that can lead to prostate cancer. Tumors that grow in the prostate can cause urinary symptoms, such as urgency, frequency, and a weak stream. If it grows beyond the prostate, the cancer can penetrate nearby structures, such as the rectum or bladder, and interfere with their function as well. It can also spread to lymph nodes or blood vessels, which can carry cancer cells to other parts of the body. The most common sites for prostate cancer to spread are the lymph nodes in other parts of the body and the bones.
Types of Prostate Cancer
There are different types of prostate cancer based on the specific types of cells and where the cancer starts. Types of prostate cancer include:
- Adenocarcinoma—Arise from cells that make seminal fluid inside the prostate. This type makes up nearly all prostate cancers.
- Sarcoma—Rare type that starts in the connective tissue that support the prostate.
- Neuroendocrine—Rare type that starts in the endocrine cells that are associated with hormones.
- Transitional cell—Rare type that starts in the tissue that lines the inside of the prostate gland.

So how do you wanna play this? Combine the two?
- Having Free Cities mercenaries as an extra 'continent', needing a port on the eastern coast to benefit from rather than a Great House
- Make the Iron Islands one territory and have their bonus be +1 for each 2 or 3 territories on the western coast
- Different territories in King's Landing having different effects (e.g. Master of Coin giving a multiplier for mercenary bonuses, Varys bombarding other King's Landing territories or some such. I don't know that I can think up enough special powers for each territory, though.
but we could go for a reenactment of Robert's Rebellion.
If that's the case, I would also remove the whole King's Landing inset as the politics in the Landing is less interesting than during the book.

Maybe it's just me, but it appears we as hunters have stepped off our path.
It wasn't a sharply defined turned, but rather a gentle meandering that occurred over the course of several generations. As a whole, we don't truly appreciate the animals we kill. Maybe we're spoiled by today's record deer herds. Maybe our comfortable lifestyles have detached our souls from all things wild.
Maybe we just don't care.
Minimally, all deer hunters should be thankful for a venison bounty. Most of us are. However, how many of us truly respect the deer we kill?
How many of us stand in quiet deliberation over a fallen whitetail? How many take a moment to ponder our own existence?
This isn't about religion. It's about respect.
Canada's Cree Indians were especially reverent to slain animals. In fact, their entire hunting tradition was built on elaborate rules honoring slain creatures. A hunter's post-hunt behavior was at the top of the list.
Hunters were forbidden from over-celebrating their kills. In fact, even unintentional boasts of a hunter's prowess were thought to insult animal spirits and bring bad luck.
Hunters in American tribes followed similar rules, and they made sure the remains of every deer were respected. It was customary for many tribes to prop a buck's head — and antlers — in the crotch of a tree so the buck's "spirit" could watch sunrises and sunsets. They also believed this reassured other animals that they needn't be afraid of yielding their bodies to humans. Other tribes were careful to utilize the entire animal, including every scrap of meat from the carcass.
I use these examples not to advocate pantheism — the belief that all things are God — but to illustrate how far modern man is detached from the earth. I don't believe taking photos of dead deer or getting a buck's head mounted is irreverent. If anything, those acts honor the animals. However, we can rest assured the Cree never placed sunglasses on deer heads, hung a buck's testicles in a tree or bragged about how they "stuck" a doe. Furthermore, I doubt an American Indian ever partially skinned a fawn, then — out of pure laziness — cut out the backstraps and left the rest to rot.
One of my college professors once told me that irreverence toward dead creatures is common among people who are anxious about their own mortality. He also said it often takes but one reminder to trigger the necessary guilt to right one's internal compass.
Looking at today's world makes me wonder if primitive hunters possessed a far greater understanding of the natural world than their modern counterparts.

Brave Mandy defies the odds
THEY breed 'em tough at Imbil and they don't come much tougher than young endurance rider Mandy Watt.
Mandy remained in Nambour Hospital yesterday, lucky to be alive and looking forward to a complete recovery after receiving head, spinal and other injuries when she fell from her bolting horse in the middle of the Imbil Forestry on Tuesday afternoon.
Alone after the accident, and showing amazing strength and determination, she resaddled her horse Ali and rode 4km through the forestry to a main road.
She is not sure how long she was unconscious for, and was covered in cuts and bruises and abrasions.
Mandy should still be preparing for the 2500km Horse Ride for Charity she was scheduled to leave for on August 3; an adventure she has been planning and looking forward to for months.
Although Mandy clearly won't be making the ride this year, her endurance in the face of adversity was proven on Tuesday afternoon.
Her mobile phone had no reception in the forestry and Mandy knew there were not going to be any cars driving by, so she did what she had to do and rode until she reached Imbil's Number 1 Crossing.
There she was discovered by Theis employee "Damian", who rang her mother, former Gympie councillor Jan Watt, and stayed with her until help arrived.

Developing a multilevel "blueprint" visualizing the care process in community pharmacies
Suche in Medline nach
|22. November 2010
Introduction: Quality management (QM) and customer orientation are important issues for pharmacies as the health care sector grows increasingly competitive. It is essential for the pharmacy staff to know the patients' perspective of the received care. A QM tool developed in the service industry, the so-called "blueprint", visualizes the process customers go through as they receive a service. Blueprints encompass all activities and interactions experienced by customers and providers. They distinguish between different levels of activities, e.g. those that involve direct interaction with the client (onstage-activities) as well as activities that take place "behind the scenes" Using the principle of blueprints might be a helpful QM tool, but has not been described for the pharmaceutical setting before. The aim of this study was to develop a blueprint of the care provided for chronically ill patients in community pharmacies.
Methods: An expert group consisting of pharmacists, physicians, and health care managers developed a preliminary blueprint draft. This draft was discussed and evaluated by conducting semistandardised interviews with community pharmacists (n=3) and focus groups with patients suffering from hypertension (n=23), and refined accordingly.
Results: A consensus could be reached on a blueprint presenting 3 levels of patient care. The first level details all "patient activities" taking place when visiting a pharmacy, e.g. waiting to be served or handing over a prescription. Factors influencing these steps (e.g. parking options, opening hours) are pointed out. "Onstage acitivities" of the pharmacy staff are visualized in the second level; they encompass all proceedings visible for the patient, e.g. welcoming the patient or handing over of the medication. A third level contains "backstage activities", e.g. ordering medications or preparing special drugs. Using different colours, all activities were subdivided into the categories "transport and waiting", "counseling and caring" or "organizing and preparing".
Discussion and conclusion: It was possible to develop a complex, but easily comprehensible blueprint that systematically details all processes in a community pharmacy that are of concern for a patient. Further studies are planned to evaluate its usefulness for quality management.

Best Travel Bed: Kidco PeaPod 1 of 20
Whether we stay at hotels or someone's home, where our little guy will sleep is always a question. This travel bed, available in a variety of sizes and models, provides a safe, familiar place for your baby or young child to catch his Zs. Mosquito-netted screens on all four sides provide protection and keep the PeaPod well-ventilated. Plus, the bed folds down in seconds, packs into an included pouch, and fits into most carry-on luggage with room to spare.

Best Baby Carrier: Beco Butterfly II Baby Carrier 2 of 20The Beco Butterfly II has the features any intrepid traveling parent wants. You can carry baby in front or back, and an internal harness allows you to remove the carrier to transfer the baby to another parent without having to pull him out of the carrier, key for a quick transition without waking up the baby. (We've managed to transfer our little guy between us while clearing airport security, which was a miracle.) Plus, the Beco is fully adjustable, so my husband quickly became a convert when we realized the carrier can fit his broader shoulders.

Best All-Purpose Travel Stroller: Baby Jogger City Mini Single Stroller 3 of 20This stroller is lightweight, easy to fold, and has a slim profile, key for fitting through narrow sidewalks and doorways. We've used just this one stroller for all of our adventures, from exploring cities to light trekking, and it's held up well. The carry bag is an absolute must. Its interior has separate pouches for each of the stroller's three detachable wheels, and the entire stroller frame zips up inside the protective pouch to keep careless baggage handlers from causing any harm.

Best Travel Diaper and Wipes Case: Giggle Stripe Pronto! Mini-Changer 4 of 20My husband has had to change our baby's diapers in some really questionable places. A changing pad and wipes case makes the job much easier. It fits into any purse or day bag and holds everything you need for a quick diaper change. If you're on a plane, stash this mini-changer into the seat pouch to avoid rummaging through a cavernous diaper bag mid-flight (and annoying fellow passengers). I especially like the clip on this mini-changer, which you can attach to the outside of a backpack for easy access once you're hoofing it through the airport.

Best Travel Changing Pad: Munchkin Arm 5 of 20We used to travel with just one changing pad. Then we experienced The Great Diaper Blowout of Winter 2011 in the Hanoi International Airport, which didn't have any baby-friendly changing facilities around. We found ourselves trying to change a naked baby on freezing metal chairs at an unheated departure gate and then stuffing a soggy, soiled changing pad into a plastic bag shortly before boarding a 4-hour flight back home. After that incident, I purchased a box of these disposable liners to put on top of our larger changing pad so that I can simply throw away the evidence of future blowouts.

Best Travel Bathing Tub: Munchkin Inflatable Yellow Duck Tub 6 of 20It took two drenched parents, a screaming baby, and a tiny standing shower in a hotel bathroom for us to find a better way to bathe baby on the road. We love this inflatable bathtub, which rolls up neatly in our suitcase. It only takes a couple of minutes to inflate, and there's a fun electronic quacker in the beak that makes duck sounds when you squeeze it. Now that our baby's a little older, he loves sitting in this tub and making the duck quack. (Although one time, airport security heard quacking coming from our bag. We had some explaining to do!)

Best Travel High Chair: My Little Seat Infant Travel High Chair 7 of 20We joke that this high chair makes us feel like we're strapping our little guy down, but we mock only because we love. With the ability to turn any adult-sized chair into a high chair for baby, this little seat is a lifesaver when we eat out. It folds into a tiny pouch, fits into the diaper bag, and, best of all, it's machine-washable.

Best Travel Bottle/Sippy Cup: Lifefactory 9-ounce Sippy Cap Bottle 8 of 20Lifefactory's glass bottles are protected with a silicone sleeve, so there's no need to worry about BPA, phthalate, or PVCs. An interchangeable sippy cap is also available once your baby is ready to transition out of the bottle, and we've found that the glass keeps formula or breastmilk warmer for longer periods of time while we're in transit.

Best Travel Night Light: Mobi Tykelight Jr. 9 of 20Dark, unfamiliar hotel rooms are a breeding ground for middle-of-the-night wakings, so we're always prepared with this battery-operated nightlight, which comes with a timer and two brightness settings. An added bonus: It's safe for curious kids to play with.

Best Waterproof Pouches: Handmade Waterproof Zipper Pouch 10 of 20We picked up similar waterproof zip pouches here locally, and I love these on Etsy made from recycled vinyl advertising banners. They're great for keeping wet items, like swimsuits, contained when packing in a hurry. I also have one in our travel diaper/day bag to keep an extra T-shirt for each of us rolled up inside. (We've been caught in the rain, eaten messy lunches, and had enough diaper blowouts to know that having a fresh outfit handy is always a must.)

Best Travel Blanket: Aden + Anais Classic Muslin Swaddle Wraps 11 of 20These are useful go-to blankets long after baby's swaddling days are over. They fold down to almost nothing and provide a baby or toddler with a clean surface to play with some toys while waiting at the airport gate. When it's time to board, just scoop up all four corners of the blanket, tie in a knot, and stuff those toys in the diaper bag!

Best Food/Formula Containers: Packin Smart 4-Tier Stacking Compartments 12 of 20I'm always on the lookout for ways to travel with our little guy's meals (you never know if baby's favorite foods will be available!). Ideal for in-transit meals, this handy little container keeps snacks, formula, or rice cereal from spilling everywhere during feedings. It's also BPA- and phthalate-free.

Best Car Seat Travel Adapter: Gogo Kidz Travelmate 13 of 20Once our baby becomes a toddler, I look forward to using the Travelmate with his larger car seat. This ingenious contraption cuts the need to bring a stroller with you at all, if you just need a way to travel between gates at the airport. Its wheels attach to almost any forward-facing carseat (and in some cases, rear-facing ones, too, like the Britax Marathon). Weighing just 5 pounds, it folds compactly and slides into the overhead compartment once you're on the plane.

Best Mosquito Repellent: Badger Anti-Bug Balm 14 of 20Mosquitoes are a constant annoyance in tropical climates, and I love this all-natural repellent. It smells great and is easier to apply on a wiggling little one than spray. Best of all, since it's not a liquid, it's TSA-friendly and won't take up precious space in your limited toiletry bag. And, of course, you don't have to worry about unwanted spills.

Best Organization System: Eagle Creek Pack-It Cubes 15 of 20We've found that with the entire family's clothing and gear in one giant suitcase, sometimes it's hard to stay organized and find what we need while on the road. Make packing and staying organized on the road a breeze with these affordable zip-up pouches for everyone's clothing.

Best Travel Food Containers: Nuk Gerber Bunch-A-Bowls with Lids 16 of 20Plastic bowls with lids are a must for parents on the go. These deceptively simple containers make transporting homemade baby food a cinch. We've tossed them into the bottom of our diaper bag and are yet to experience a single leak.

Best Baby Travel Toiletries: ErbaOrganics Baby Travel Kit 17 of 20Before our little guy was born, we stocked up on family-sized bottles of the baby basics. What we didn't think about was how we'd manage to take these essentials with us when traveling. So what better way to pamper your little one than with this organic set of baby-friendly toiletries? Best of all, 15 percent of ErbaOrganic's sales goes to support the Worldwide Orphans Foundation.

Best Travel Safety Gate: Evenflo Crosstown Soft Portable Travel Gate 19 of 20While it might be a challenge to fit this portable travel gate in a suitcase, it's a no-brainer for road trips, where luggage space isn't as limited.

Women's Soccer Drops Tough 1-0 Affair to Georgia Southern
STATESBORO, Ga. – The UNCG women's soccer team fell to Georgia Southern, 1-0, Sunday afternoon on the road at Eagle Field.
UNCG falls to 8-6-2, 3-2-2 in Southern Conference play and Georgia Southern improves to 5-8-2, 3-3-1 in the SoCon. The Spartans ended their 25-game road unbeaten streak in SoCon games. It was the first loss on the road in SoCon action since 1999.
The Eagles scored their late goal in the 79th minute off a corner kick from Nora El-Shami that went straight into the right corner of the net. It was El-Shami's fourth goal of the season and marks the second time she has scored the game-winning goal against the Spartans.
Georgia Southern finished with six corner kicks compared to just one for UNCG. The Blue and Gold finished with just two shots on goal.
Sophomore goalkeeper Jamie Simmons (Houston, Texas/Clear Brook) made six saves in the defeat. Simmons went over 200 minutes since giving up her last goal after back-to-back shutouts against Wofford and Davidson.
UNCG had an incredible opportunity for the equalizer with less than two minutes left in the contest. A ball was played into the box when Georgia Southern keeper Molly Williams misjudged the ball in the air leaving an open goal but the Spartans couldn't get a shot off as Williams was able to cover it up.
Senior Lauren Lover (Greensboro, N.C./Northwest Guilford) opened the second half with a run and took a shot on goal but Willams made the save.
The Spartans controlled most of the possession in the second half but just couldn't manufacture enough shot attempts on goal. Freshman Georgia Brown (Dunedin, New Zealand/St. Hilda's Collegiate) had a shot in the 57th minute go just wide.
Ten minutes later, Brown worked her way through the defense but her shot attempt went wide again.
In the first half, the Spartans and Eagles didn't get much going offensively finishing the half with a combined seven shots. UNCG had four with two coming from junior Ashley Stokes (Cary, N.C./Green Hope).
In the 35th minute, freshman Mackenzie Noel (Braddock Heights, Md./St. Johns College) found some space and fired a shot that went just high over the net.
The Spartans return home to celebrate homecoming against Samford Friday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. at the UNCG Soccer Stadium. UNCG is celebrating its 25th year anniversary and will be honoring the first team ever from 1989 at halftime.
