Learning Index >> Thirteen Weavers
In the 1950s and '60s Barbara Sawyer primarily wove table mats, and in the 1970s, wall-hangings, using unusual fibres such as cane, rush, rayon and cellophane on a cotton spaced warp; the materials were natural or dyed. The mats sold through fashionable shops including Primavera, Sloane Street, and Heal's in Tottenham Court Road. Her work was also exhibited frequently, most often at the Design Centre, the Crafts Centre in Hay Hill and, in the 1970s, at the British Crafts Centre, Earlham Street - all in London.
She died in 1982 and in 1983 a commemorative exhibition of Barbara Sawyer's work was arranged at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts; 17 textiles examples from this show were selected by Marianne Straub, a trusteee of the Crafts Study Centre for its collection.

Read in the paper today that Rex proclaims this group to be the best personnel he has had since he took over. Now follow this line of thought---If this is truly the best, then maybe we will get to the Super Bowl because Rex promised the Superbowl with lesser players over the last few years.
Rex is usually spot on!
Hey, its an informative post about what the head coach said yesterday---Sorry fella, you don't control the threads on this channel. Now if he didn't say it, prove it. But since he did, its open to discussion.
Most coaches that say this, are usually full of Crap. The team that beat the Pats on the road in the playoffs is better. Way better.
Left unsaid is the Sparano factor ...
That's not what he said.
He said this team has a chance to be the best team he's had since he's been here.
Big difference.
I'd rather he said this than " These guys suck, and we won't win many games this year".
"I really like this team," Ryan said. "I really like this team. I don't know if we're strong in this one area or that one area or special teams, whatever it is, but overall in my opinion this has the chance to be the best team I've had since I've been the coach here.
"And I say that because I think we understand complementary football. Sometimes your offense is going to be rolling, sometimes you're going to ask your defense to that old hockey term -- stand on their head. Certain challenges that teams present out there, I think we understand that. Our coaching staff, were all like this (close). Everybody understands it's all about winning, it's not about stats, it's not about anything else but trying to find a way to win, and I think our team understands that."
Obviously the "Tebow Package" is what separates this team........

About 2am, the 35 yr old showed up in my room and crawled into my bed and before long we were fucking. Within 15 minutes of the fucking, the other one showed up and joined us.

Wow this is just a joke of a game the Pistons should've just forfeited. The only thing this win does is open the door for another five games of pathetic, no effort losing.
The Marbury situation is really sad. No matter how big of an idiot/******* Isiah is Steph shouldn't be quitting/leaving the team.

From Official Website
Ibrahimovic signs for PSG
Big-spending Paris St Germain aim to dominate Ligue 1 this season and showed their intent by signing Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic from AC Milan on a three-year deal on Wednesday.
"Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 30, has been transferred from AC Milan and signed a three-year deal in favour of Paris Saint-Germain," PSG said on their website (www.psg.fr).
The club did not give any financial details of the deal but French media estimated the transfer fee of just over 20 million euros.
"I want to thank PSG because they made something impossible possible. It's a big step in my career. Another dream come true," Ibrahimovic told reporters at the Parc des Princes.
"This is a very interesting project. I had no doubts about it when Paris contacted my manager. Everything was clear in my head. I want to be part of this history. I'm sure we'll write this history. I'm here for winning."
With a team featuring Ibrahimovic they are now expected to set the pace in the French league having spent over 100 million euros on players during the close season.
Brazil's 27-year-old centre back Thiago Silva, rated as one of the best defenders in the world, also signed for PSG last week after leaving Milan for an estimated 40-45 million euros.
Ibrahimovic also joins Argentine forward Ezequiel Lavezzi, who signed for PSG earlier this month, and Marco Verratti, who arrived from Pescara today, as the club from the capital seek to play a major role in Europe this term.
Qatar-backed PSG finished second in Ligue 1 last season and will play in the Champions League.
"Sure he will add big value for PSG and for the French league," said PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi. "We'll be more competitive in the Champions League as well.
"A lot of media were asking us why we hadn't yet got a superstar. Now, we have one. It will be a very exciting season."

Who needs prime-time comedy shows when we have the Democratic National Convention? The Pinocchio Party was never funnier than their prime time performance last week in Charlotte.
Forget Philadelphia football fans tossing snowballs at Santa Claus! The DNC topped that: They booed God! They used to be for God before they weren't, but now they are again. You can't make this stuff up.
When asked who removed God and Jerusalem from the party platform, no one seemed to know. One Pinocchio said it was a technical correction. Others scratched their heads. Are there phantom operatives within this administration? Bad things always seem to happen, but no one ever knows who did it. Fast and Furious? Don't know. Security leaks? Don't know. Where did all the stimulus money go? Don't know. Who eliminated God? Don't know.
Roberts Rules got a new twist, too. The DNC's procedure for polling delegates about fixing the official Democratic Party Platform was particularly funny.
The chair, even after three gallant attempts, couldn't get two-thirds approval, so he just declared victory and moved on. Lots of boos erupted from the anti-God delegates, a shining display of their vision for America.
Just let the Democrats talk. Clinton's great at that, taking 40 minutes to endorse and defend the president while headlines of Clinton's accomplishments flashed on the big screen. LOL. His message: Gee, the poor president didn't realize how bad things really were when he made all those lofty campaign promises in 2008. Not even big Bill or FDR could've turned things around in four years (history agrees). Even all the president's expert economists (most of whom have since fled the coop), failed to see how bad things were. Really?
One year after spending nearly a trillion bucks, the president said if he didn't get the job done in the remaining three years, he should get the boot. I agree.
The Democrats in prime time were entertaining: Clinton, Biden, Wasserman-Shultz, Maryland's governor and the DNC gaff squad. Move over NFL. Question: Will Clinton stand-in for Obama during the presidential debates? Can't wait.

Obama follows on gay rights -- again
Activists for same-sex marriage could use a master grass-roots campaigner as they take their fight from the Supreme Court out into the states – but they're not going to hold their breath for Barack Obama to lead the charge.
Obama's style on gay rights has never been splashy, but more low-key as he pushed through changes like a repeal of the military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy.
Story Continued Below
Even Obama's greatest contribution to the gay-rights cause was a passive one: He chose not to have his Justice Department defend the constitutionality of DOMA in court. And his first public statement after the law was struck down was out of the smartphone of a DOMA challenger – not the pomp of a Rose Garden ceremony.
( PHOTOS: Reactions to Supreme Court's gay marriage rulings)
So while gay-rights activists might like the president to grab his presidential megaphone and mobilize his voter army to march into 30 states that have anti-gay marriage language etched into their constitutions, advocates aren't counting on it.
"The president got on a wave that was already rolling. He's certainly not leading the wave but he's not coming up at the back of the train," said Heather Cronk a co-founder of the gay-rights advocacy group GetEQUAL. "He's played this politically safe."
Still, Obama's outside group, Organizing For Action, told supporters Wednesday that it planned to work on behalf of marriage equality groups in the 37 states that don't have laws providing for same-sex matrimony.
( PHOTOS: Celebs tweet about Obama's gay-marriage stance)
"Everyone's still trying to figure out what the next step is," an official at OFA told POLITICO. In general, the official said, OFA will work with other groups and provide information to supporters on how they can get involved in the issue.
Human Rights Campaign executive director Chad Griffin outlined the group's next plans Wednesday: lobby legislatures and file suits to get states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
The American Civil Liberties Union has contracted with two Republicans – former McCain-Palin campaign manager Steve Schmidt and former GOProud executive director Jimmy LaSalvia – to work for them on red states where same-sex marriage is still widely opposed by the public and legislators.
"It'll certainly be a strategic effort," LaSalvia said. "We'll be going state-by-state building consensus and showing marriage is a good thing we should want for everybody including gay couples."
( Also on POLITICO: The DOMA decision's ripple effect)
For now, Obama is focused on the ruling. As he traveled aboard Air Force One to Africa, Obama applauded the court's decision and said he was directing his Cabinet to "review all relevant federal statutes to ensure this decision, including its implications for federal benefits and obligations, is implemented swiftly and smoothly."
That review echoes one he ordered when he assumed the presidency in 2009 that led to policy changes like the State Department providing same-sex benefits for the partners of foreign service officers overseas. At the time, the White House instructed departments to do what they could within the boundaries set out by DOMA.

Lopez Lomong: Still running
U.S. Olympic long-distance runner Lopez Lomong trotted down the aisle at Grace Community Church in Auburn, Washington, high-fiving cheering World Vision employees as the Olympic theme blared over the speakers.
He bounded up the stage toward moderator Steve Haas, who was interviewing him for World Vision's annual Day of Prayer.
"Not bad, not bad, you did that very well," Steve said.
"Oh man, you give me 90 seconds, but I think I'm a little late," Lopez answered.
As one of the world's premier long-distance runners, Lopez's not late for much. Give him 90 seconds, and he's in the closing stretch of an 800-meter run.
But he can be forgiven for being late, given the whirlwind tour he's been on since the conclusion of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Since then, he's toured the White House with other U.S. Olympians and shook hands with President Obama. His hometown of Tully, New York (population 2,700), feted him at the Community Day Fair. And he's been speaking and touring since the release of his book, "Running for My Life."
Out of the last two months, he's been home two days.
"We're still running," he said at Day of Prayer on Monday. Each year on October 1, World Vision's global offices close, and employees gather and dedicate the day to prayer.
At the London Olympics, Lopez placed tenth in the 5,000-meter race. But when measured against his background as one of the "Lost Boys of Sudan," every time Lopez steps onto the track to race, it's a win.
Haas took Lopez through his life chronicled in "Running for My Life" -- being kidnapped as a 6-year-old; held prisoner in a camp with armed guards; escaped with three other boys (his angels, Lopez calls them) to Kenya; meager life in a refugee camp for 10 years; coming to the United States in 2001 as part of a resettlement program for thousands of lost boys.
He was adopted by Rob and Barb Rogers of Tully, New York, and settled into suburban America, where he marveled at hot and cold running water and indoor lighting.
As a 16-year-old, Lopez only spoke a smattering of English (his native tongue is Swahili and he simply answered "Yes" to everything), but was able to graduate from high school on time and in a few short years blossomed into a world-class athlete.
What powers Lopez in the months after the Olympics is his passion for running and even deeper passion to help the country that he was forced to leave after rebel soldiers literally tore him from his mother's arms at a church service.
"I was given an opportunity; I was given a chance to tell my story," Lopez said Monday. "It's no longer about me. It's about them. It's about people going through all these things as we speak: the children who don't have education, the kids who are dying every day…the poverty that people are going through right now.
"And clean water. Have you ever gone without clean water, or even water? And yet there's people walking 15 to 20 miles to just fetch two gallons of clean water somewhere, and it's not enough."
Lopez will continue telling that story in various ways. For instance, he will be supporting Team World Vision this weekend at the Chicago Marathon.
"I have to speak up," he said. "My story is their story."

"The stomping 'Afro-Comanche' sounds like the work of a 1970s McCoy Tyner band, and 'Pilar' is a delicate love song for Valdes and a cello-like arco bass that eventually becomes a straight piano-trio ballad
. His solo opener on the breathless 'Congadanza' is a nine-minute exposition of exactly why he remains one of jazz piano's most majestic virtuosos."The Guardian
"His now-famous piano runs mix Art Tatumstyle controlled fireworks and Cuban pianist Ernesto Lecuona's lyrical grooves
. Here, the idea that New Orleans was once considered the northernmost port of Cuba makes sense; for example, the end of 'Tabu' is a perfect mash-up of the jazz drum set and Afro-Cuban santeria drumming
. At more than 11 minutes, 'Afro-Comanche' addresses the little-known history of the arrival of Comanches from the U.S. to eastern Cuba during the 19th century."NPR

Based on the notion that rarity controls demand to some degree, and that DeBeers completely controls effective rarity because of their supply control, I feel it's easier to cut out the middleword and say that DeBeers controls demand. I realize it's not complete control, but I feel it's control nonetheless.
I suppose "artificial demand" is a poor phrase, though. Consider it fixed.
The supplier of a good can't control demand, only supply. I might be trying to sell my used Kleenex, and I can artificially limit supply (only selling one per day, even though I could sell at least ten per day), but that doesn't mean that there's more demand.
All that DeBeers is affecting by controlling s
Now that I've admitted my ignorance -- doesn't demand increase with rarity? I mean, commonsensically it would seem so, but perhaps this is one of those things that economists know better than I about. (Like, say, economic stuff.)
My advisor is interested in economics first, computer science second, so he pushed the economics classes big time when they were open for me one semester. I didn't take his advice -- he also recommended I take a class on COBOL.
...I did take a semester each of Microeconomics and Macroeconomics...
I'll have to look it over. I'm curious what the formal definition of demand is, now...

According to the Association of American Railroads, UP had an STB-determined rate of return last year of 13.01% and NS had a return of 12.87%. A close runner-up was CSX, with a return of 11.54%. Kansas City Southern reported a return of 10.76%, and BNSF, 9.85%.
The Staggers Rail Act of 1980, which substantially deregulated the railroads, directed the regulatory agency to conduct revenue adequacy determinations on an annual basis. That determination can be a factor in rate challenges and other STB proceedings.

A metastatic brain tumor is cancer that started in another part of the body and spread to the brain.
Brain tumor - metastatic (secondary); Cancer - brain tumor (metastatic)
Many tumor or cancer types can spread to the brain. The most common are:
Some types of cancers rarely spread to the brain, such as colon cancer or prostate cancer.
Growing brain tumors may place pressure on nearby parts of the brain. Brain swelling due to these tumors also causes increased pressure within the skull.
Brain tumors that spread are classified based on the location of the tumor in the brain, the type of tissue involved, the original location of the tumor, and other factors. Rarely, a tumor can spread to the brain from an unknown location. This is called cancer of unknown primary (CUP) origin.
Metastatic brain tumors occur in about one-fourth of all cancers that spread through the body. They are much more common than primary brain tumors (tumors that start in the brain) and occur in 10 - 30% of adult cancers.
Note: Specific symptoms vary. The symptoms commonly seen with most types of metastatic brain tumor are those caused by increased pressure in the brain.
An examination shows brain and nervous system (neurologic) changes based on where the tumor is located in the brain. Signs of increased pressure in the skull are also common. Some tumors may not show signs until they are very large. Then, they cause a very quick decline in nervous system function.
The original (primary) tumor may be found by examining tumor tissues from the brain.
Tests may include:
Treatment depends on the size and type of the tumor, from where in the body it spread, and the patient's general health. The goals of treatment may be to relieve symptoms, improve functioning, or provide comfort.
Radiation to the whole brain is often used to treat tumors that have spread to the brain, especially if there is more than one tumor.
Surgery may be used for metastatic brain tumors when there is a single tumor and the cancer hasn't spread to other parts of the body. Some tumors may be completely removed. Tumors that are deep or that extend into brain tissue may be debulked (reduced in size).
Surgery may reduce pressure and relieve symptoms in cases when the tumor cannot be removed.
Chemotherapy for metastatic brain tumors is not as helpful as surgery or radiation.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is used at some hospitals. This form of radiation therapy focuses high-powered x-rays on a small area of the brain.
Medications for brain tumor symptoms may include:
When the cancer has spread, treatment may focus on relieving pain and other symptoms. This is called palliative or supportive care.
Comfort measures, safety measures, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other treatments may improve the patient's quality of life. Some people may want to get legal advice to help them create advanced directives, such as a power of attorney.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems. See: Cancer - support group
In general, the outcome is fairly poor. For many people with metastatic brain tumors, the cancer is not curable. It will eventually spread to other areas of the body. Death often occurs within 2 years.
Call your health care provider if you develop a persistent headache that is new or different for you.
Call your provider or go to the emergency room if you or someone else suddenly develops stupor, vision changes, or speech impairment, or has seizures that are new or different.

Amanda Bynes Gives Crazy Interview to Explain She's Not Crazy
Before that video of her twerking out at a nearby gym went viral, Amanda Bynes — hoping to prove her sanity to the world — sat down with gossip rag InTouch for a tell-all interview.
Maybe the New York Times was just busy.
"I have no clue [why people say I'm insane]. Every time I've heard it, it came from an ugly person's mouth, so I don't care," Bynes told the mag, choosing the exact same words Winston Churchill once said to Roosevelt.
"The only ones lying about me having a mental illness are people I don't talk to."
And if you'd like to be friends with Amanda, you better be genetically inclined, because her posse is beautiful. "I only have hot friends," she says. "They have my back until I die."
Until she dies or becomes ugly, we assume. But that will never happen anyway.
As for the talk about drug and alcohol addiction, she's okay there, too, saying, "I don't drink. I'm allergic to alcohol." That's not too far fetched. But what about that suspicious cigarette she was spotted with? She says that wasn't wacky tobacky — just, you know, regular tobacky.
She also explained her eclectic look, including her hair extensions and microdermal piercings. The piercings, she says, came from a desire to look mimic Blac Chyna, a stripper and aspiring musician. (We all need role models, and Amanda has been photographing her boobs a lot as of late.)
And the hair? She says she had to take clippers to her locks after a botched dye job, adding, "It's so annoying to have no hair at 27. I have extensions that I love but I miss my own hair."
Maybe it's Blac Chyna who also gives rise to her musical aspirations, because Amanda's also still interested in cutting an album."I love singing and I can't wait to start working on an album," she says.
But perhaps most troubling is what she revealed about weight. She's been candid about an eating disorder and body issues in the past — so when the already slender Bynes says she likes being 100 pounds and has 21 to lose, we get worried.
Here's the Bynes golden rule we'd propose: More selfies, fewer diets.

Utley Gets In The Game
Chase Utley played 4 innings in a minor league Spring training game today and, according to Todd Zolecki, Phillies beat writer, all went well. Utley went 2 for 4 at the plate with a double. He reported no pain and says as long as he feels good tomorrow, things are looking up; Utley anticipates being ready for Opening Day. Phillies fans everywhere are anxious to see the All-Star 2nd baseman back in action!
The rest of the Phillies played in regular grapefruit league action today, beating the Astros by a score of 5-2. Greg Dobbs drove in 2 runs on 2 hits; Jayson Werth collected 2 RBI on a home run; and Pablo Ozuna led the offense with 3 hits in the game and 1 RBI.
While it was nice to see a steady offensive output, all eyes today were really on Carlos Carrasco, who is trying to make the team as the 5th starter. Carrasco did his part to impress the team with 3 innings pitched with 1 earned run on 4 hits and a walk. A pretty decent outing for the young pitcher, who's ERA stands at 6.30 for the spring so far. Veteran Chan Ho Park will get his turn tomorrow when the Phillies face ex-Phil, Kyle Loshe and the cardinals tomorrow at 1:05pm.
World Series Trophy Meets Ben Franklin
Earlier today, the World Series Trophy made another stop in the Philly area; it arrived at the feet of Ben Franklin in the Franklin Institute where a crowd of Phillies fans awaited their chance to get an up-close look. The Phanatic wow'ed the kids and flirted with the girls and Phillies PA announcer, Dan Baker kept the peace; or at least tried to. Happy to report, most people were well behaved and Baker did not have to spank anyone…I assume he was relieved, but I could be wrong :O)
I dragged my good friend Kimmie along for the trip and she was a real trooper. Kimmie, I am pretty sure, does not even know what a baseball looks like. But as soon as I told her the trophy was made by Tiffany's, she was eager to line-up and have her photo taken with it :O) And so, she is now a part of history, whether she likes it or not. This is the same friend who drew a bit of attention to me in front of Chase Utley as I was waiting for his autograph one day; her job was to take a picture. But as we got close to him, Kimmie looked around and then asked me, out loud, which one was Chase Utley. Everyone around looked at us as if we had two heads. But she is awesome and a true friend; even if she can't tell a baseball from a shovel. ;o)

On va pas pleurer, globalement, c'est bon. La nana est bandante et les 6 queues sont agréable à regarder. Mais c'est un tantinet ennuyeux. il faut attendre la 13eme minute pour qu'elle se fasse enculer et les changement de mec se passent tous en dehors du champ, ce qui est dommage. J'aime voir les queues sortir du trou alors que l,autre y rentre. Dommage aussi que le mec à la 16eme minute garde ses chaussures et ses chaussettes pour l'enculer. Les boules battent bien la mesure. Encore une fois, c'est agréable à regarder et ça fait bander, c'est clair. Les DP sont chouettes et le sperme qui coule sur la queue de l'autre mec à la 18e minutes est vraiment hot.

Mom upset kids got sunburned at Wash. school field day
TACOMA, Wash. - Jesse Michener was horrified Tuesday evening when she returned home from work to find two of her three daughters severely sunburned after field day at Point Defiance Elementary School.
It was raining when the girls left for school Tuesday morning, but the sun came out midday and ended up burning Violet and Zoe so severely that their mother took them to Tacoma General Hospital that evening.
Tacoma Public Schools policy prohibits teachers from putting sunscreen on students. Students can apply their own, but are required to have a doctor's note authorizing them to use it.
District spokesman Dan Voelpel says the doctor's note policy is actually based on a statewide law, and is aimed at preventing kids from sharing sunscreen with someone who might have an allergy. He says there are many students in the district with allergies to common additives in sunscreens and lotions.
Parents are encouraged to apply sunscreen before sending their children to school, or dress them appropriately for sunny weather.
Michener takes full responsibility for her decision not to put sunscreen on the girls before they left the house, but says ultimately, that point is irrelevant. For the sunscreen to be effective, it would have had to be reapplied midday anyway.
Michener says she has trouble understanding why the adults who reportedly commented on her daughters' worsening burns didn't simply remove them from the sun and have them wait inside for field day to finish, or give Michener a call and ask her to stop by with sunscreen for her children.
"There's a break in common sense," she says. "If they were over a hive of bees, you would remove them from the problem."
One of her daughters has a documented type of albinism - and Michener says teachers and administrators at the school are well-aware of her sensitivity.
Today Violet and Zoe are home from school, with peeling faces, headaches and chills.
Michener spent her morning writing letters to the district and school board members asking for a more "parent-friendly" policy.
"I mean having a doctor's note, that's the most unintuitive policy I've ever heard of, and not only that, it's impractical," she said.
Depending on a family's medical coverage, that bottle of sunscreen could end up costing quite a bit.
Michener says she's spoken with other parents whose children were also burned during field day, and at least one told her that she was considering filing a complaint with the district.
She says she'd like the district to consider a policy change, enabling staff to make decisions in the best interest of their students, or consider allowing parents to sign some sort of waiver allowing staff to apply sunscreen to their children.
Voelpel says a change would require a district-wide policy change.
"In the end, this is not about a sunburn," Michener says. "It's about the administration's inability to act when a child is in danger."

However, we've been able to find a work around for it in our hardware, through a firmware update, and we anticipate that this will be with our customers by the end of April.

The proposed policy, which the commission supported by a 4-3 vote, would allow a resident with permanent disabilities to buy an on-street parking spot for $250 a year. This spot would have to be located directly in front of the applicant's home and would only apply to areas where demand for parking on evenings and weekends is not excessive. An applicant would have to show proof of permanent disability (a state-issued disability plate and a matching registration address), proof of public-street residence and proof that they don't already have a usable garage space.
Commissioners Michael Alcheck, Alex Panelli and Greg Tanaka all dissented. While each called the goal of providing parking to disabled residents laudable, they criticized staff's specific proposal and favored sending it to the commission's parking committee for further refinement.
The new policy isn't expected to deliver the kind of relief from overall parking congestion that residents around downtown and California Avenue have long complained about. It aims instead to cater to the small number of residents who are particularly vulnerable to the steadily worsening parking shortages. Chief Transportation Official Jaime Rodriguez said Milpitas and Portland have similar policies already in place.
Rodriguez said the city has received four or five requests from disabled residents in north Palo Alto neighborhoods asking for designated on-street spots.
One Professorville resident on Addison Street has recently succeeded in convincing the city to install an accessible on-street parking spot, a project that Rodriguez said had been successful. The goal, he said, is to have a framework in place that would allow other residents to apply for such amenities without doing everything on a case-by-case basis.
"We want to close this loophole, so when people ask and have a demonstrated need, we could respond," Rodriguez said.
The parking spot wouldn't be limited to just the person who applied for it, but any other driver with a disability. The applicant would also have to demonstrate that a private driveway is unavailable.
The proposal encountered a wave of criticism on the commission, with Alcheck leading the way. Alcheck pointed to the empty Council Chambers and noted that not a single resident who would be eligible for the program was in attendance. The "irony" of the commission talking about this policy while Downtown North residents are counting parked cars to get a better grip on the parking problem in their congested neighborhood is "offensive," Alcheck said. Residents in older homes without driveways should be able to request curb cuts to prevent others from parking in front of their homes, he said.
"If you're hearing passion, it's because we have real problems with parking in the city, and this is not one of them," Alcheck said. "I can't imagine that we'd spend more time on this topic."
Panelli also warned against adopting the new policy and, like Alcheck, argued that it would distract from the broader effort of developing a Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP) for neighborhoods suffering parking shortages. The program, which staff hopes to put in place early next year, would restrict parking to two hours for drivers without residential permits. Panelli invoked the old adage: "The path to hell is paved with good intentions."
"This could be a step toward the first level of Hades," Panelli said.
Tanaka's criticism focused on the program's potential impact on other homes on the block and noted that designating an area as a disabled-only spot would further exacerbate the already steep parking shortages. The city, he said, should consider other efforts, such as encouraging construction of driveways at homes that currently don't have them — an option that Rodriguez said would cost homeowners "tens of thousands of dollars."
"In general, I support the spirit of trying to help our disabled residents. That's a worthy goal," Tanaka said. "I don't know if this is necessarily the right solution.
"I can see the battles brewing with this coming online. Especially in areas where people really have problems with parking."
Commissioner Eduardo Martinez took the opposite stance. Given the very limited nature of the proposed program, he said he had no problem recommending its adoption. Waiting until the broader program is in place would unnecessarily slow down a very limited program that would only impact a handful of parking spaces throughout the city, he said. He disagreed with Tanaka about the potential for neighbors to fight over the disabled spot.
"Neighbors become very accepting toward things like this," Martinez said. "They know their neighbors. They know they have a need toward accessibility."
Chair Mark Michael agreed.
"This is something that Palo Alto, in addressing the needs of all its residents, should be prepared to do," Michael said.
Commissioner Carl King proved the swing vote in the discussion. After initially agreeing with Alcheck that the item should be deferred and aligned with the comprehensive parking program, he ultimately voted with Martinez, Michael and Vice Chair Arthur Keller to adopt the new program. The vote came after an emotional plea from Rodriguez, who said disabled residents have been asking him for help for more than a year. Even once the residential parking-permit program is in place, this program would offer a valuable tool for needy individuals, he said.
"It really kills me that I can't help the community when they ask me for help," Rodriguez said.
The city might get one application for this type of parking spot or it might get none, he added, but if it does, at least it will be able to help.
"We're pushing off one tool that I really think the community can strongly benefit from," Rodriguez said, just before the vote.

Justice David Ivy proposed an amendment to the budget excluding elected officials from a 2 1/2 percent raise for county officials, agreed upon at last week's budget hearing with only Quorum Court members excluded.
"I'm not trying to beat up the elected officials, but the raise we are giving is more about what Justice (Kim) Virden said last week — for the people who need it," Ivy said. "The people who make $23,000 a year. Two and half percent is not a lot on $23,000 a year, but they can use it."
Ivy also said he did not feel it was fair to give elected officials a raise in the middle of a term.
Justice Gordon Thornsberry seconded Ivy's motion for the amendment and thanked him for making the motion which would save taxpayer money.
Justice Dusty Hampton said it didn't bother him greatly either way, but said he was for giving the elected officials the raise as well.
"I think there are some things we need to consider. In the past two or three years, we've operated on a surplus," Hampton said. "Every year, we've managed to put money back, and with the economy the way it is in this country and in this state, I think it's saying something for this court, but also it's saying something for the elected officials. ... If we don't pass a raise for them, I don't want the feeling to be that we're poking them in the eye."
County Judge Jim Ed Gibson pointed out the approval of the amendment would mean the budget would not be passed Tuesday night.
"I just wish we had hammered this out when we had our budget committee," Gibson said. "We spent umpteen time figuring these budgets again the way the Quorum Court asked us to do them. Now we'll have to go back, and we won't be able to pass the budget tonight."
Justices David Rollans, Don Daily and Tom McMillen also voiced their opposition to the amendment.
"I understand it's mid-year, but we want the general public to run for these offices," McMillen said. "We have to make the salaries attractive for somebody to come forward and take these positions. I think if we show these salaries are comparable to counties around the state, we'll attract other individuals to run for those offices."
After some discussion, Ivy said it wasn't his wish to prolong the process.
"I don't want to rehash this for hours. I just wanted to present the question. It's not that big of a deal," Ivy said.
The amendment needed seven votes from the court for approval and failed 2-11, with Ivy and Thornsberry voting for the item.
Without the amendment attached, the ordinance adopting the bulk of the 2012 budget passed 13-0.
The budget for the Pope County Library appeared separately from the rest of the budget at the request of Virden, who stated previously he is against taxpayer funds being used to pay for consultation from the Walker Collaborative. The library budget ordinance passed 12-1, with Virden voting against.
The operating budget for the Pope County Jail operation and maintenance also appeared separately, allowing Hampton to abstain from the vote because the jail holds a contract with the company his wife works for.
The court unanimously approved an ordinance establishing a hiring freeze of full- or part-time employees with the exceptions of the road department, EMS, sheriff's patrol personnel, detention center officers, Election Commission, 911, the library and any positions approved in the 2012 budget.
Rollans successfully added an amendment to the ordinance stating the freeze would be reviewed quarterly by the budget committee.
After the approval of the ordinance, Thornsberry thanked the court for the support of the ordinance which he proposed during budget hearings.
"I think the Christmas spirit has descended on this Quorum Court. I want to thank you all. That is the first one I've ever introduced that you've passed," Thornsberry said.
Thornsberry also addressed the court concerning the payment of dues to the Association of Arkansas Counties from all departments, encouraging his fellow court members to consider ending the payment of the dues.

Clarkson University Named to Military Friendly Schools List for 2011
G.I. Jobs has named Clarkson University to its 2011 list of Military Friendly Schools. The list is available at http://www.militaryfriendlyschools.com/2011list .
The list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and schools that are doing the most to embrace America's veterans as students.
Criteria for making the Military Friendly Schools list included efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students, results in recruiting military and veteran students and academic accreditations.
Among the programs which brought Clarkson to the list were its ROTC programs, veterans' counselors, events for veterans, VA approval and participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
Clarkson University provides full tuition benefits to qualifying post-9-11 active duty service members, veterans and eligible dependents of military personnel under the federal government's Yellow Ribbon Program.
With a long history of military preparation on its campus, Clarkson's Army and Air Force ROTC units have also been recognized in Washington Monthly Magazine among the top five universities in its Annual College Guide for the percentage of students serving in ROTC. Students in these programs are the recipients of numerous awards and recognition for their scholastic work as well as success in field training.
"The Military Friendly Schools list is the gold standard in letting veterans know which schools will offer them the greatest opportunity, flexibility and overall experience," says Derek Blumke, president of Student Veterans of America and a member of the list's Academic Advisory Board. "It's especially important now with so many schools competing for military students."
The list was compiled through research starting last April during which G.I. Jobs polled more than 7,000 schools nationwide.
The newly redesigned website, found at http:// www.militaryfriendlyschools.com, features interactive tools and search functionality to assist military veterans in choosing schools that best meet their personal educational needs. The site currently shows 2010 Military Friendly Schools, but will switch to the 2011 list in late September.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

CARLSBAD, CA -- NTN Buzztime Inc. reported $5.5 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2013, ended June 30, compared with $6 million for the same period in 2012. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 73% for the second quarter, from 74% for the same period a year earlier. Direct costs decreased $100,000, or 4%, to $1.5 million for the second quarter from $1.6 million in 2012's second quarter. NTN had a net loss of $100,000, which had no effect on its share value.
NTN Buzztime produces interactive content for bars and restaurants. Its main product Buzztime (formerly known as the NTN Network) broadcasts trivia and other games through broadband to locations in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. Based in Carlsbad, CA, the company was founded as Alroy Industries and went by the name NTN Communications Inc. between 1985 and 2005. The company is planning to introduce a new platform, BEOND, which stands for Buzztime Entertainment On Demand.
"In the second quarter, we focused on translating our pilot program and product development advancements into preparation for commercial launch of our new platform," said NTN chief executive Jeff Berg. "We believe Buzztime BEOND is a best-of-breed platform which should attract bars and restaurants looking for technology-driven solutions to their entertainment and marketing needs."
During this year's second quarter, NTN's general expenses, including those related to selling and administration were $4 million compared with $4.9 million for the same period in 2012. The 19% drop was chiefly related to reductions in payroll expenses.
"Our year-over-year EBITDA swing was a positive $500,000 and $1.2 million for the quarter and first half, respectively," Berg reported.
As of June 30, there were 3,352 venues that subscribed to NTN Buzztime, compared to 3,775 at the end of June 30, 2012, an 11% decrease.

I've been with the Dodgers since the last week of July. I didn't like it at first, really, because I was coming to a new team, and I didn't know anyone. It took me out of my comfort zone. But now that I've been here awhile, I realize there are a lot of positives to being here.
It's a good situation for me and it's good for my career. I get to play for the chance to win a pennant. That's fun.
When I first walked into this clubhouse, not knowing anyone, I went right to my locker. When you're the new guy on the team, you keep your mouth shut, and you just look around and observe. You don't say a lot to anyone. That's hard for me because I do like to talk, and I like to have fun.
But once you're relaxed and get to know your new teammates, you can be yourself again. I'm feeling comfortable now, and that really enhances the experience. Now, I have a feel for the clubhouse. The guys and the coaches have been great.
I'd also been apprehensive because I had left a bunch of great teammates and friends back in Cleveland. That made it tough to leave.
My time with the Indians will always be part of me, though. I had been with Cleveland for so long, it's tough to turn the page. When I look at the scoreboard, that's the first team I seek out. I like to know how they're doing, and I'm very aware of what they are doing.
The day Cliff Lee was going for his 20th win was a special day. I watched the scoreboard closely. They had a late lead, and I was saying to myself, "Just hold one, man, just hold on," Finally, the scoreboard showed it was a final, and I kind of pumped my first and said, "Yes." I was so happy for Cliff.
I'm also watching CC Sabathia pretty closely. I'm not surprised a bit with the success he's having. It's strange to see him in another uniform. When we played them, we didn't face him, though it would have been cool to face him. He's been very dominant for the Brewers and he was a great pickup for that team.
After more than five seasons with Cleveland, Casey Blake has helped solidify the Dodgers infield since he was acquired from the Indians. He's batted .263 with eight home runs and 20 RBIs in his 44 games with the Dodgers. For the season, he has a .280 average with 19 homers and 78 RBIs.

Hoof Kinematics in Mild Lameness Diagnoses
- Nov 27, 2013

- Topics:
By using hoof kinematics, researchers are developing a technique to aid in the diagnosis of mild or subclinical lameness.
Photo: Photos.com
You know that nagging feeling when your performance horse is just not quite right, yet you can't pinpoint the problem zone? Here's some good news: By using hoof kinematics, researchers at the Gail Holmes Equine Orthopaedic Research Center at Colorado State University (CSU) are developing a technique to aid in the diagnosis of mild or subclinical lameness.
"Kinematics is a branch of biomechanics which describes the motion of an object; hoof kinematics describes the motion of the hoof during locomotion," explained Valerie Moorman, DVM, Dipl. ACVS, of CSU's Orthopaedic Research Center. "In this study, we looked at the linear motion of the hoof both forward/backward and up/down, as well as the forward/backward rotation of the hoof during motion. We examined horses at both the walk and trot and broke the stride into smaller components. Specifically, we looked at the hoof at landing, during breakover (when the foot goes from the stance to the swing phase), and during swing phase."
In a gait-analysis laboratory, six clinically normal Quarter Horses walked and trotted over a rubber-matted asphalt runway while infrared cameras captured 3-D optical kinematic data. Researchers first viewed both forelimbs to establish a baseline. Then, the team viewed each horse as they underwent three grades of sole-pressure-induced lameness in the right forelimb and after administering a local nerve block to eliminate the lameness.
"We found significant differences in hoof motion at the most mild grade of lameness," remarked Moorman. "By examining smaller components of the stride, we could detect changes to hoof motion both during stance and swing phases.
"None of the horses were visually lame at the walk during any part of the study," she continued. "However, we found differences in hoof motion at the walk even though we could not visually detect lameness."
This study demonstrates that evaluating changes to hoof motion might be useful for diagnosing lameness and that this method can detect gait changes caused by even mild lameness.
"Future research involves the development of a motion-sensor system to mount on the hoof of the horse, which would allow analysis of hoof motion in a clinical setting," noted Moorman. "As this study involved inducing lameness in horses, future research should also evaluate changes to hoof motion using horses with clinical lameness."
Moorman's studies, "Effect of forelimb lameness on hoof kinematics of horses at a walk," and "Effect of forelimb lameness on hoof kinematics of horses at a trot," were published in the American Journal of Veterinary Research.

I am trying to implement the scroll to effect for anchor jumping. I have taken the scripts and inserted them correctly... I think but still nothing.
Here is the link:Grubbs Pharmacy Logo Ideas
This is the site I got the scripts from: Animated Scrolling for Same-Page Links » Learning jQuery - Tips, Techniques, Tutorials
Can someone please help me get this working.Thanks
Never seen that before, try the following plugin which includes the latest release and the jQuery 1.4.2 release but it should work fine with jQuery 1.5.1.
Ariel Flesler: jQuery.ScrollTo
Ok I have tried using your instructions and still haven't got it working.
Check my source on each version:
Grubbs Pharmacy Logo IdeasGrubbs Pharmacy Logo Ideas
On the first one I thought maybe I could apply the same scrollTo() to all a tags as I don't need to get as complicated as your demo.
The second I tried putting them all inline like the demo but still no luck.
I'm still a newbie to JS so please pardon my inexperience.Thanks for your help
I would love some help on this as well. The plugin looks awesome, but the "documentation" is horrible.... all of the examples are very skeletal code snippets that don't really explain how to do any of the method calls.
Any help in this area would be appreciated.
I am trying, for example, to do :
etc. etc..... not getting anything. Some very simple docs explaining the basic way of making it work would be splendid. Very useful plugin from what I can see.
seems others are having this problem as well, from looking at the forums. I just need to know the BASICS of how to get it to work at all.
Does the demo page provide enough of the basics with which to help you out with?
The demo page is part of what I'm having a problem with. The examples look great But the code is all small snippets that don't give a larger view of what's going on.
For example, I"ve included the jQuery source in my documents (I reference it locally), been using jQuery for about a month now, with no problem. I also downloaded and include the jQuery scrollTo plugin....
All i'm doing it dynamically creating a div and then I want JQuery to scroll to the new div once it's created.... but I can't seem to make any scrolling happen at all.
Here is my full code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Welcome to j</title>

When just six corporations dominate the world's seed, pesticide and biotech industries, they control the fate of food and farming. Between them, the "Big 6" — Monsanto, Dow, BASF, Bayer, Syngenta and DuPont — have historically unprecedented power over world agriculture, enabling them to control the agricultural research agenda, heavily influence trade and agricultural agreements and subvert market competition.
Along the way, the Big 6 intimidate, impoverish and disempower farmers, and undermine food security, all while making historic profits — even as their genetically engineered seeds fail to deliver as promised. Contrary to what Big 6 marketing campaigns say, these corporations are in the game of expanding their marketshare. Period.

We don't lead the easy way at my school. The process is often a work in progress, as is the product. Collaboration and input are big and important words in our leadership model. With a lot of careful navigating, this ship sails well for us, even if the ride gets bumpy along the way.
I am the co-headmaster of the Boston Arts Academy, the city's first and only public high school for the visual and performing arts. The role presents the ultimate challenge in collaboration. How do we do it, and most important, how do we do it successfully?
Two philosophies guide me. First, my work as a leader should take place within the larger life of the school. Second, relationships between teachers and students are the most crucial to a school's success or failure. I respect the work that teachers do immensely, and realize that only kids can make their own learning and growth happen.
As an administrator, I also recognize that some things I do occur only behind closed doors. The hardest is firing teachers who are not doing their jobs. I also spend time resolving issues between staff, students, and parents, in various combinations.
I hire new teachers, a happy and delicate part of the job that requires me to rely on my instincts and judgments about how this person will fit into this intense, quirky place. I must deal with discipline, which means living with tons of anger and resentment without taking any of it personally. I make choices about what gets funding and what doesn't, and what gets time and priority in the schedule and what doesn't. I have to be a teacher to my faculty. I create and work with an excellent leadership team.
Finally, and sometimes utterly in conflict with all of the above, I must take care and balance what I demand of myself.

After being declared a disaster area last week, Pope County is only eligible for state assistance to repair roads, bridges or other government infrastructure damage, according to a spokesman from the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management.
Pope County Judge Jim Ed Gibson signed an emergency disaster proclamation last week causing Gov. Mike Beebe to designate the county as a disaster area on Friday. However, of the two categories of state assistance - public and individual - Gibson only requested public assistance.
"We didn't receive one report from anyone about damage to their house," Gibson said, adding individuals cannot apply for state assistance for damaged driveways or private roads. "If people do have water damage in their homes, they need to contact the judge's office or the office of emergency management."
Gibson said he signed the disaster proclamation because of several roads in the county damaged by heavy rains around Jan. 14. He explained that declaring the county a disaster area would allow the state to reimburse the county for 35 percent of the road repair cost.
Problem areas caused by the heavy rains, Gibson said, include Bradley Cove Road, Quicker Still Lane and Narrow Road.
Bradley Cove Road, from Crow Mountain Road to Galla Creek Lane, will be closed beginning Thursday until further notice for repairs, Gibson said. He said water under the road caused a severe dip in the asphalt and created a 3-inch crack that continues to worsen.
"I'm afraid of major problems there if we don't get that fixed before the next big rain," Gibson said, assuring area residents would not be blocked in because of the road closing. "We can't afford to let that road get any worse, so people are going to have to bear with us."
The judge said residents who live near the construction, such as the Cliff and Stream area, would need to take an alternate route off the mountain to ease traffic.
The rains also caused five tiles to wash out on Quicker Still Lane, a school bus route, that needs to be repaired, along with a low-water crossing on Narrow Road south of Pottsville.
Problems have also begun on Horton Mountain Road, he said.
"Every day, we still find another problem," the judge said, noting he could not estimate the cost of repairs. "It sometimes takes time before they show up. But if water gets under a road, it will start sinking and will need to be repaired. ... And this is something we didn't anticipate. We'll just have to use funds from another [road] project to pay for the repairs."
Gibson said even with the numerous road repair needs, he feels fortunate the county didn't have more damage.
Repairs from the rain damage are expected to be complete within about four months, he said.
No individual assistance for county residents
According to Richard Griffin, disaster management division leader at ADEM, Pope County residents are currently not eligible for disaster assistance because Gibson did not request it.
In Arkansas, he said, only Benton and Jackson counties are eligible for the Department of Human Services' Individual and Family Grant Program, and the Department of Emergency Management's Temporary Housing Assistance Program.
Eleven other Arkansas counties, including Pope, requested public assistance for road or government infrastructure repairs.
"We look to the county judges to make the disaster declaration," Griffin explained. "Once that happens, we look to them to specify for us what type of disaster assistance they need. ...
"Pope County has not been declared for individual assistance, so if people do need assistance, we're not aware of it, and the county hasn't requested that from us."
Griffin said at least 15-20 people are usually impacted by a disaster before individual assistance is declared.
Gibson said Pope County residents whose homes were affected by the heavy rains should call his office at 968-7487, or the local Office of Emergency Management at 968-1800.

The following information was gathered from incident and arrest reports obtained from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
April 13
Smash and grab
10:50 p.m. — 5201 51st St. E. (Braden River Park). Burglary to a conveyance. The victim stated an unknown person(s) shattered the driver's side window of her vehicle while it was parked at the park. The person(s) then removed several items from the front seat of the driver's side of the vehicle before fleeing in an unknown direction. Several similar incidents also were reported by other victims.
April 14
Just looking
10:20 a.m. — 7600 block of 39th Street Circle East. Burglary to an unoccupied conveyance. Unknown person(s) entered the vehicle through the passenger door, which, according to the victim, was likely left unlocked. There was no evidence of forced entry and nothing was taken. When the victim drove to work, he noticed the passenger door wasn't shut completely and a plastic bag, kept in the center console, was on the driver's seat. At first, he didn't think anything of it, assuming his wife had been in his vehicle, but when he discovered she hadn't been, it became clear that an unknown person entered the vehicle. The victim was issued a case number on a victim's rights brochure.
Pick and choose
12:30 p.m. — 9600 block of Turning Leaf Terrace. Information only. The complainant reported her former spouse allegedly picked up only a portion of his furniture she left outside contrary to the court order, which stated he was supposed to pick up all of the items listed in the order.
Fake filing
2:05 p.m. — 10000 block of Cherry Hills Avenue Circle. Fraudulent use/possession of another's ID without consent. The victim reported an unknown person(s) used her Social Security number to file a 2011 federal tax return.
Road rage
3:45 p.m. — 10300 block of Greenfield Boulevard. Burglary to a structure with assault. An unknown suspect, driving a tan SUV, cut the victim off in his vehicle. The victim continued to follow to obtain the suspect's tag off of his vehicle. According to sworn affidavits and statements, the unknown suspect slammed on his brakes several times and, at one point, stopped his vehicle. He and his passenger got out and approached the victim's vehicle while yelling and using profanity. The passenger who was wearing a light-colored shirt and tan shorts reached inside the victim's vehicle, grabbed the victim by his arm and then slapped his arm. The responding deputy didn't observe any marks on the victim.
Unwanted guests
3:26 p.m. — Cooper Creek/Tourist Center Drive. Trespass warning. The deputy met with the complainant about two individuals who were panhandling and had repeatedly been asked to leave the property owned by Benderson Development. While in the deputy's presence, the complainant informed the individuals they were trespassing and were no longer allowed on Benderson's property for six months and they would be arrested if they returned. Fingerprints were obtained from the suspects.
April 15: Mailbox decapitation
10 a.m. — 7500 block of Pine Valley Street. Criminal mischief $200 and under. The victim reported an unknown person(s) vandalized the mailbox at the end of her driveway. She left her residence at 5 p.m. April 14, for the remainder of the night. Her residence is currently in the process of being remodeled, so she resides at a different address at night. At 10 a.m. April 15, the victim returned back to her residence and discovered the top of her black steel mailbox had been hacked off and was lying in the front yard. She said she believes the suspect used a saw to vandalize her mailbox. The mailbox pole remained in the ground.

Blackburn begin life after Steve Kean with draw against Charlton
Blackburn supporters celebrated a hard won victory – not the 1-1 draw but the end to the 22-month reign of their much despised former manager Steve Kean. In his place, the assistant Eric Black steered the side to a solid performance against an attacking home side, hailing his players for their response to a turbulent 24 hours.
"They made it an awful lot easier than it could have been," he said. Asked whether he would like to take on the role permanently, he replied: "I've hardly time to have my breakfast this morning ... somebody else will make that decision I'm sure."
Blackburn arrived here under bizarre circumstances. Kean had travelled to the game as their manager – the Scot having told reporters earlier that day that he was having a "great week" despite rumours of his impending dismissal – yet on Friday evening the 44-year-old told players that he was resigning. How did they react?
"There was a sombre response, which you can understand," said Black. "They all thanked him and wished him all the best. Today I thought the attitude was excellent, there was a real vibe in the dressing room and the players deserve a lot of credit for that. It couldn't have been easy for the players but we've got to fully respect Steve's decision to move on."
The Charlton manager, Chris Powell, rued his team's failure to seal three points following an impressive display but paid tribute to their response to last minute changes – Ricardo Fuller having been sent home with a virus at lunchtime, yet another name on Charlton's growing injury list. "My players adapted really well at the eleventh hour," said Powell.
The draw marks an upturn in fortunes following Charlton's win against Ipswich last Saturday, on the back of a run of defeats. Powell also took time to express his sympathy for Kean. "I feel sorry for him, I really do. To be put in the position he was, there should have been some direction from upstairs ... he shouldn't have been subjected to a lot of what went on."
A powerful strike from Dickson Etuhu gave Blackburn the lead after Jordan Rhodes sent a ball in for Nuno Gomes to set up the Nigeria midfielder. Minutes later and Morten Gamst Pedersen conceded a penalty. Johnnie Jackson's resulting low shot was easily saved by Paul Robinson but the Charlton captain soon atoned for his error, converting Danny Green's cross with a neat header to level the scores midway through the first half.
Charlton continued the attacking theme after the break – Carl Cort saw a close-range header saved early on, while Michael Morrison, Green and Bradley Wright-Phillips all clutched heads in frustration at near misses.
Blackburn's travelling support were jubilant, singing, "Stand up if you're glad he's sacked". When news had filtered through that Kean had quit after his position had become "untenable", fans had popped champagne corks in the streets of Blackburn, while on Saturday morning there were queues to renew season tickets at Ewood Park.
With sections of Blackburn's support having threatened to boycott the next home game and attendances dwindling such strength of feeling had left many outside the club bemused – Blackburn have suffered one defeat this season – but near on two years of simmering conflict, fuelled by contentious managerial decisions, bizarre signings, and a memorable TV interview in which Kean claimed he did not have a dog (but had a packet of dog food positioned behind him) had created a stand-off between all parties that went beyond resolution.
Now the focus will be on moving forward. Black could not reveal any clue as to who might replace Kean but the former Blackburn heroes Tim Sherwood, currently at Tottenham as first team assistant coach, and Alan Shearer have been linked to the job.


text: This is something I despise in general. Why? Because our minds do not actually all operate like that. It's hard to escape some small amount of bias, but it's fully possible to ref the play, and not the players, if you catch my drift. And it is something that is evaluated with refs at every level...as in, if you're reffing a high school game, and one guy is clearly dominating, some refs will be more influenced (even if not intentionally) into giving that guy a favorable whistle, and some won't, and this is something that's noted whenever you're evaluated for a game. In fact, they try to teach you to be as much like the latter as possible when you start reffing (at least when I did). At the NBA level, you'd think they'd do everything they can to ensure more of their refs fit into the latter category, but watching the games (of any team) it really just doesn't feel like that, at least not nearly as much as you'd hope.

text: Campā is Champa is often mentioned in early Buddhist literature as a city of importance and was one of the six great cities of northern India in the Buddha's time (6th–5th 6th–4th century BC BCE). Several Buddhist remains and ruins have been excavated at Champa. It was a centre for foreign trade, and it gave its name to a kingdom later founded in Annam (now in Vietnam).
