The hosting landscape was rapidly evolving when Jonathan Bryace and Todd Morey started Cloud Sites. At the time, providers were looking at ways to provide discounted hosting, but didn't offer a lot of advantages to the customer. Cloud Sites changed this by offering a robust platform.
The end game was to build a platform that could power applications and sites. The founders didn't want the user to worry about networking, databases, backups or server administration. They wanted people to be able to focus on their businesses and code to build something great. Hear from the cloud founders themselves as they talk about their vision for Cloud Sites and check out some of their other videos.
Did you know that Cloud Sites hosts more than 400,000 sites across 112 countries? Check out the infographic Rackspace Cloud Sites – A Look At The Numbers for more examples of the power of Cloud Sites.

MUKILTEO — Bailey Lux-Lowry was nervous.
The Kamiak junior midfielder and her teammates really wanted to beat Arlington in a battle of Wesco North and South first-place teams Tuesday night.
She didn't show an ounce of those nerves in front of the home fans, scoring on a pair of first-half penalty kicks to propel the Knights to a surprisingly comfortable 3-1 victory over the Eagles.
"My adrenaline was rushing I guess," Lux-Lowry said about her penalty kicks. "I knew I was going to place it, but I was more nervous on the second one."
In the 27th minute, Knight senior Christine Heisen edged one dribble inside the Arlington penalty box and had her legs taken out from under her, prompting the referee's whistle for the first penalty kick.
Lux-Lowry quickly kicked the penalty try into the bottom left of the goal, getting it easily past Arlington's Kat Sanchez.
After a first 25 minutes that was fairly even and competitive, the goal seemed to shock the Eagles, who quickly found themselves backed against their own end again.
In the 29th minute, Arlington committed another foul in the box, this time close to the goal mouth. Moments later the result was the same off the foot of Lux-Lowry, who made it 2-0, in the same corner of the goal.
"Fortunately we had a great (referee) crew that actually got them because they were legitimate fouls inside the box," Kamiak coach Beth Stewart said.
Arlington coach Nathan Davis believed the Knights took his team by surprise in the first half.
"We weren't ready for Kamiak's speed and physicality really," Davis said. "It took us awhile. It took us about 45-50 minutes to get dialed in."
Before the game, Stewart made some lineup adjustments in preparation for Arlington's own fast roster.
"We put in some people with a little more speed," Stewart said. "So we tweaked the defense a little bit and I think it really helped."
Sophomore Tylor Adcock anchored the Knights' backline and frustrated the Eagles' offense all night.
"No. 20, their center back, just kicked our butt," Davis said of Adcock. "She was winning everything."
Adcock even made a rare mark on the scoreboard. In first-half stoppage time, another Eagle foul, this time just outside of the box, set up Lux-Lowry again. The junior took the free kick and it was deflected by Alexie Morris to Adcock, who easily converted the 5-yard shot to give the Knights a commanding 3-0 edge.
Though Lux-Lowry takes all the big kicks, Stewart pointed to Adcock as the linchpin of one of the best teams she's coached.
"She's only a sophomore, but she's probably the true leader on the field," Stewart said. "She has a calm demeanor and everybody listens to here so she's going to be fun to watch over the next two years."
The long-time Knights coach has had some stars that have gone on to play college Division I soccer over the years. She may not have that this year, but that has made Kamiak better.
"They are such a team," she said. "Top to bottom I can put different people in and I can count on them and I've never really had that before.
"So, I don't have any real superstars. Everybody's looking for who's going to make it happen. Sometimes there's an advantage to that."
Arlington did show some mettle, fighting back in the second half and sending a barrage of shots at Kamiak keeper Shannon Peth.
One shot finally got by the sophomore goalie in the 56th minute after Kerra Williamson chipped a shot over Peth's head from long range. Though Peth saved it with one hand, she was unable to control the ball and Marisa Rathert came in for an opportunistic goal.
Despite a significant corner kick advantage for Arlington that lead to chances for Mckenzie Buell, the freshman couldn't get any of the chances past the Knights' backline, which did not let up until the final whistle.
"Arlington was a big team to beat," Lux-Lowry said. "We were really striving to beat them. That was our one game where we are going to go out and fight really hard."
At Kamiak H.S.
Goals—Bailey Lux-Lowry 2 (K), Tylor Adcock (K), Marisa Rathert (A). Assists— Kerra Williamson (A), Alexie Morris (K). Goalkeepers—Arlington: Kat Sanchez . Kamiak: Shannon Peth.

5 key issues of 2012, and 2013
All five have had a major influence on how the fire service does business this year, and will certainly influence it in 2013
As we end an eventful 2012 for the U.S. fire service, it's natural to both reflect on the year that was, and spend a little time considering what 2013 might hold. I'm focusing here on five broader societal trends and their potential impacts on our departments, but this is far from an all-inclusive list.
While it appears obvious that the overall U.S. economy will remain a major challenge for local fire and emergency service organizations in 2013, as I'm writing this piece it's hard to predict exactly what might happen next year.
Will the (slow) economic recovery we've been experiencing continue at the current rate or will it speed-up? Will we go over the dreaded fiscal cliff or will it be more like a fiscal bump?
Economists, politicians, and pundits disagree about the probabilities and outcomes of these (and other) scenarios, but it seems likely that we're still trying to figure out the long-term effects of this "new normal" on fire departments across the nation.
As I predicted last year, the continued drive for sustainability across all aspects of the economy, including the so-called "green building movement," is likely to affect fire departments in a number of ways.
I watched a television show yesterday about a house built entirely of reclaimed materials, including recycled aircraft wings for the roof (try venting that with a chainsaw). Certainly, that's an extreme example, but the increasing prevalence of photovoltaic panels, lightweight construction materials, green roofs, emissions controls and other "green" features will likely require new training, tactics and code requirements.
It's exceedingly obvious that technological advances will continue to affect, directly and indirectly, fire and emergency service organizations everywhere. How many of us could have predicted the daily use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), tablet computers or social media?
Yet, we still fight fires using a fairly traditional combination of extinguishing agents, equipment, appliances and protective gear. I guess the big question for 2013 is when, and whether, the fire service will positively benefit from a truly game-changing technological breakthrough?
Global climate change
While politicians continue debating why it's occurring and what to do about it, scientists seem to have reached consensus that global climate change is real, and it's happening now. Why should we care?
Well, the science appears to support our anecdotal experiences with more frequent, and devastating, natural disasters. Hurricane Sandy is the latest example, and there's no question that local fire departments, and firefighters, were greatly affected before, during and after that event.
Firefighters and EMS providers are no strangers to violent incidents. Unfortunately, 2012 was a banner year for public violence in communities across the United States, culminating in the unthinkable Newtown, Conn., mass shooting and the Christmas Eve tragedy in West Webster, N.Y.
Whether perpetrated by ideologically motivated or lone-wolf terrorists (we can debate the term, but the outcome is the same), we know that local fire departments will be called to respond to such attacks in the future.
While I'm not sure we can ever be fully prepared for these events, the time is unquestionably right to have the conversation about how to handle them, in all our departments — regardless of size, type or location.
Please take a moment to remember those we lost in 2012, and have a safe new year.

ATLANTA – The General Assembly's 2010 vote to impose a penalty on regions that failed to pass a transportation sales tax last July was a mistake that penalizes citizens for not taxing themselves, according to some who testified before a Senate subcommittee Tuesday.
The Roads & Bridges Subcommittee of the Senate Transportation Committee heard testimony but didn't vote on Senate Bill 73 which would remove the penalty in the form of different rates to supply the local share of project in regions that passed the tax compared to those that didn't.
The government of Augusta-Richmond County, for example, only has to pay for 10 percent of a transportation project while the state pays the remaining 90 percent since it is in one of the three regions that approved the tax. The city of Atlanta, on the other hand, has to put up 30 percent because that region soundly rejected the tax.
The bill's author, Sen. John Albers, R-Roswell, said it's un-American to penalize citizens for not taxing themselves.
"Over the last 154 sessions, I believe the General Assembly has made some really great decisions. We also made some, probably if we look back, bad ones, including succession, including many things that we look back on now and question," he said. "This is one of those we question that maybe we should have done it a little bit differently."
But Sen. Bill Jackson, R-Appling, argued the sales-tax vote was based on the idea of local control, and that regions that rejected it made their own decisions. They can hold another vote in two years if they want to escape the penalty, he added, including metro Atlanta where traffic is the worst.
"It was a local opportunity to decide," he said. "I don't know how much babysitting we can give the whole state."
Sierra Club lobbyist Neill Herring testified for repealing the penalties, saying they amount to metro Atlanta, which pays half of the gasoline tax, subsidizing smaller counties.
"This is a way to get tax money out of the larger counties," he said.
Albers asked the subcommittee not to vote on the bill because he wants to have information first that proves Herring's point. Subcommittee Chairman Brandon Beach, an Alpharetta Republican who was on the State Transportation Board during the sales-tax campaign, said he would schedule a vote when Albers said he was ready.

Kershaw throws in 'pen as LA mulls Sunday start
Mattingly says ace's hip must be free of pain before decision is made
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
Manager Don Mattingly wouldn't rule out the possibility, despite already announcing that Aaron Harang would take Kershaw's place on short rest.
"It's all about the timetable," Mattingly said. "We'll see how he bounces back tomorrow."
Mattingly said Kershaw threw well enough, and without any visible signs of pain, that the manager would be comfortable enough to start him Sunday if medical clearance is given.
"He's been throwing the whole time," Mattingly said. "The doctors, the medical staff -- if he's pain free, he can pitch because he's not hurting himself. But he's got to be pain free.
"It has to be the medical people saying he's passed every test and cleared every hurdle. It's an organizational decision, not my decision. Does it make sense? A guy with his upside, they're not going to leave that decision only in my hands."
Kershaw said he felt good and was able to throw all of his pitches. He said as long as the Dodgers are alive for a postseason berth, he's determined to pitch.
The session was watched by medical director Stan Conte and pitching coach Rick Honeycutt "to make sure mechanically he does what he always does," said Mattingly. "He did some running. We'll see what happens tomorrow."
Since Sept. 4, Kershaw has started one game on Sept. 11, three days after receiving a cortisone shot in the hip. He allowed one unearned run on three hits over seven innings against Arizona, but hasn't pitched in a game since.
"It's taken until now to be pain free," Mattingly said.
In the aftermath, his hip was inflamed enough that he scrubbed a scheduled bullpen session last week and was scratched from a Sunday start.
Kershaw would not discuss details of his injury or confirm whether he needs surgery to repair a torn labrum, as has been widely speculated.
Such an arthroscopic operation -- similar to one performed on teammate Jerry Hairston last week -- would take three to five months for recovery. In addition to repairing damaged labrum, the surgery usually involves shaving down an irregularity in the neck of the femur.
Kershaw and Mattingly ruled out the possibility that he would be used in relief.

Students put classroom learning to work for Honduran legislators
From the May 21, 2007, Princeton Weekly Bulletin
A series of meetings between a Princeton graduate student and a world-renowned musician has resulted in a training program that provided a group of Honduran legislators with a new set of tools for governing.
Last fall, John Thomas III, a graduate student in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, met Honduran Congressman Aurelio Martínez — also an accomplished singer, composer and guitarist — following his performance on Princeton's campus. Thomas mentioned that he would be in Honduras later in the semester for a policy workshop on enhancing aid effectiveness as part of his graduate program. Martínez invited Thomas to visit him in his office.
When Thomas and classmate Byron Washington reached the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, they looked up Martínez. Martínez is Garifuna, a member of a culturally distinct ethnic group descended from Africans and indigenous Caribbean people, and he was one of several Afro-Hondurans elected to Congress in 2005.
Thomas has been interested in black populations in Latin America since he was an undergraduate. He has done research on racial identity issues in the Dominican Republic and Peru.
As Martínez began discussing some of the political barriers Garifunas and other minorities face, Thomas offered up the services of his classmates. Seeing a resource, Martínez and Thomas agreed to bring the students and legislators together.
In March, Thomas and five classmates, all second-year, master in public affairs candidates in the Woodrow Wilson School, led a workshop to equip minority Honduran legislators with methods for achieving their legislative goals.
"The students undertook the workshop because of a love of the issue and a desire to know more," Thomas said. "The Woodrow Wilson School is a great environment, but you want to practice what you're learning."
Thomas, who will pursue a doctorate in race and politics in Latin America at the University of Chicago after graduating in June, organized the trip and brought together the students for their complementary talents. Some were recruited for their language skills, others had worked on democracy-building initiatives and all were interested in the political barriers the Afro-Honduran and indigenous officials in Honduras face. The team consisted of Thomas, Washington, Starynee Adams, Marcos Marrero Rivera, Suman Sureshbabu and Erin Epstein.
John Gershman, a visiting lecturer in international affairs and a clinical assistant professor at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Affairs at New York University, served as the students' adviser.
"I worked with them to help think through the agenda for the workshop, but the students really led this effort," Gershman said. "I played a supporting role."
The students conducted a brainstorming session with Gershman — who had three of them in his policy workshop — to establish a framework for the Honduras workshop. They also divided up the tasks and read up on the country for social, cultural and political context.
In March, the students traveled to coastal La Ceiba, capital of Martínez's district, Atlantida. They conducted a daylong workshop for about 20 participants, including the minister of culture, legislators and their staffs, local officials, political hopefuls and activists.
Using presentations, dialogue and group exercises, the students and officials discussed barriers to participation, constituent relations and legislative techniques. They did not attempt to provide immediate solutions to the problems; rather, they introduced tools to address broad issues. For example, the students led an exercise in which the officials planned how to enact a civil rights law and how to implement programs within the law.
"We were able to provide systematic frameworks for analyzing problems that are specific to their respective communities, which is key to them being able to become more effective legislators and community representatives," Washington said.
Adams, who went on the trip and was also in the policy class last fall, enumerated the problems the minority legislators had to overcome: little legislative experience, few qualified staff members and lack of legal training.
"Most importantly, they face a serious challenge of building alliances and garnering support for bills that will benefit their communities — communities that are among the most marginalized in Honduran society," she said.
The group included some people who were not indigenous or of African descent, and the discussions were lively and productive, Thomas said.
"You could tell dialogue was important. For the first time, people were meeting in a structured environment," he said.
The officials were pleased with the results, Thomas said. Their only grievance was that they wished they had more time.
As a gesture of gratitude, Martínez and his band performed traditional Garifuna music at a private evening concert for the students and some community leaders.
"It was a really heartfelt thing," Thomas said.
While Thomas and his classmates did not receive any academic credit for the workshop, they received funding for travel from the Program in Latin American Studies, which had organized Martínez's concert in the fall; the Woodrow Wilson School; and the Center for African American Studies. The Honduran government paid for the students' accommodations.
Several students said they expect to work with Martínez and other Honduran officials in the future. Marrero Rivera, a former Puerto Rican policy analyst who will be an assistant adviser to the governor of Puerto Rico after graduating, hopes that the trip will help him create stronger ties between Puerto Rico and Honduras.
Thomas said the trip to Honduras was another step in his academic journey.
"It helped me get a deeper understanding of the issues I'll be studying for the next five years," he said. "It had the effect of deepening the commitment I have to this process."

And here comes the next round of canceled NHL games.
The league this week is expected to strike more dates from its schedule because of the NHL lockout—and they won't stop at two weeks, as was the case earlier this month, according to multiple reports.
MORE: NHL hires top Republican strategist | Top 10 things we miss
Take SportsBusiness Journal's Chris Botta, for example: "NHL went easy with soft first cancellation of games. Had no impact. League will go big this week."
The league has already canceled—or postponed, if you're feeling optimistic—games scheduled from Oct. 11 to Oct. 24. Another month tacked on to that would mean three missed paychecks for players, with another looming at the end of November, and a best-case Dec. 1 start date to the season.
Considering that the first block of games disappeared on a Thursday, how much of the schedule gets knocked off this time may depend on Tuesday's negotiation session—and details, naturally, haven't been finalized for that. Last week's talks, centered around secondary issues, were largely a disaster.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said at the time that there was no reason to negotiate if proposals weren't part of the discussion—and that next one had to come from the union.
CSNPhilly.com asked Daly on Friday via email what was preventing the league from making a new offer.
"Just the concern that the union will do what its done with our last two offers—pocket them and ask for more—which could only lengthen the process, not shorten it," Daly said.
Those offers, of course, started with a 43 percent share for players (compared to their current 57 percent) harsher contracting rules, and increased escrow. The union countered with offers that would still net them more than 50 percent and tied their share to a projected growth figure the league disputes.
As has been the case for months, the most logical solution remains minimizing the money players lose on current contracts, then gradually moving toward a 50/50 split. Huge chunks of canceled games, though, would throw the first year of the deal—already the most contentious part of negotiations—into even more chaos.
Owners would, presumably, look to recoup losses—which Daly says is already about $240 million. That, as originally projected by The Globe and Mail, is more money than they were arguing over last month.

Sure, sure, it was Reese Witherspoon's big day this weekend, but what everyone is talking about is Scarlett Johansson's date to the party.
Jim Toth, the new Mr. Witherspoon, is an agent at Creative Artists Agency, the agency that reps both Witherspoon and Johansson. He's not crossing any professional boundaries with Reese (she's not his client), but he did invite Scarlett, who is his client, to the wedding and gave her a plus one.
Well, it looks like that plus one was Sean Penn.
The two have been seen out and about together since the Oscars, but their appearance as an official couple at the Witherspoon-Toth wedding this weekend has everyone buzzing.
Ryan Reynolds to Sean Penn, that girl has interesting rebound instincts. Dude is twice her age!
Penn is also coming off a divorce from wife of 14-years, Robin Wright.
Other, less gossiped about guests at the wedding included: Tobey Maguire, Renee Zellweger, Alyssa Milano, and of course Reese's two kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe — Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7.

" Brand: Nurofen / Health Aid: Fever & Pain "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
The Nurofen for Children Orange suspension is available for GBP 3.69.
The suspension comes in a glass bottle with a white screw cap. On the glass bottle are the product name and the product information. The glass bottle contains 100 ml.
The suspension is described as follows. "Nurofen for Children is an effective and fast-working treatment for pain and fever reduction. In fact, nothing helps relieve your baby's fever faster or for longer than Nurofen for Children. Starts to work in just 15 minutes to bring down a temperature. Relieves fever for up to 8 hours and is clinically proven to last longer than paracetamol. Treats pain from those little tumbles, earache and relieves the fever associated with teething. Is the best-selling Ibuprofen suspension for children. Is sugar and colour free. Comes with a free easy dosing device, which helps make giving the correct dose to your child simple."
The ingredients are ibuprofen, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium chloride, sodium saccharin, domiphen bromide, purified water, polysorbate 80, maltitol syrup, xanthan gum, orange flavour and glycerin. 5 ml suspension contain 100mg ibuprofen.
The suspension can be dosed well with the dosing device, that comes with the suspension. The suspension tastes sweet and slightly fruity, the orange flavour is not too intensive. The suspension brings down a temperature and relieves fever. The suspension treats pain. After intake no side effects can be noticed.
I can recommend the Nurofen for Children Orange suspension, as the suspension relieves fever and treats pain. The suspension has a sweet and slightly fruity taste, that reminds of oranges.
For the past couple of days my daughter has been suffering from what I presume is a virus. The last time she had a virus and we took her to the doctor we were advised to use nurofen, and calpol if necessary until things improved. Well Nurofen has been a Godsend over the last few days as it has been the only thing that has given my daughter any relief. When she was a baby, I actually didn't like using Nurofen much as I felt it sometimes gave her indigestion, however, as she has got older, and with big teeth poking through gums, nurofen has been the only thing that has worked to give her pain relief.
Nurofen for children is designed for those from 3 months to 9 years. Although in the past I have often purchased the strawberry flavour nurofen, recently my local TEsco have only been stocking the orange flavour, hence why I had this one in my medicine cupboard. Nurofen is an ibuprofen suspension designed to relieve pain and reduce fever. It is applied using a syringe, which I find very very useful as when my daughter is groggy, trying to get her to take medicine off a spoon without it spilling is near impossible. This Nurofen is also colour and sugar free which is important to me and something I always look for when purchasing Calpol as well. It claims to offer fast effective pain relief. It can be used to treat sprains, headaches, minor aches, toothache, teething and sore throats. It is also for short term use only.
My daughter had a temperature over the weekend although she herself did not feel warm and wouldn't allow me to take off any clothing. She was irritable, seemed from what she indicated to have a sore throat and has bee very lethargic at times. She has simply not been herself and obviously has some sort of virus. We intermixed Calpol and Nurofen depending on how bad we thought she felt. On one such occasion over the weekend, I made a little bed for her in our sofa after giving her some nurofen and she simply lay there (she never sits still!!) for about 15 minutes and then started to perk up and come to life and was interested in books, toys etc again. It was very very obvious that the Nurofen had kicked in and was giving her relief from the virus working on her. In fact for the next while she would play happily and then gradually go down hill again, when either Calpol or Nurofen was given again (Nurofen can only be given 3 times per day) but I did find that the Nurofen helped reduce her temperature and seemed to settle her quicker than the Calpol.
All in all, this is my first hand experience in seeing how fast and effective Nurofen really is at reducing pain and also reducing a temperature. It makes a parent feel less helpless when you can give your child something that works to take away pain and discomfort.
Over the last week Jayden has been quite poorly with a nasty tummy bug and temperature, after a trip to the doctors and the hospital we also discovered that he had slightly red ears and tonsils, the doctor suggested that as well as giving him Calpol we alternated it with Nurofen for Children as you can give both medicines together (either at the same time or a few hours apart) meaning that you can keep your poorly child topped up with pain killers to help make them feel more comfortable.
Nurofen for Children comes in a brown glass bottle which has a white safety cap on the top and a label wrapped around the bottle containing some of the same information that is stated on the outer box. The bottle comes inside a rectangle box, the majority of the box is an orangy yellow colour with the top of the bottle being silver. The silver section has the name Nurofen written at the top in red writing with the flavour of the medicine and the age group it is suitable for written just underneath.
The majority of the orangy yellow section is taken up with a picture of a baby and a little girl, there are also a few facts about the medicine written around the picture. On the other sides of the box you will find all the information you need to know about this medicine prior to giving it to you child, all of the product information is clearly set out and easy to follow, a lot of is also repeated on the leaflet inside the box.
The Medicine
Nurofen for Children is quite a thick medicine, sticky medicine and is a creamy white colour. This medicine is an Ibuprofen medicine and is designed to help reduce pain and fever, it comes in 2 flavours, strawberry and orange, we went for the orange option, although I have not tried the product myself I have got a bit on my fingers and ended up tasting it, to be honest the taste isn't too bad, you can taste the orange flavour, the taste is as good as a medicine gets.
This is an oral medicine and giving it to your child is made very easy by the dosing syringe that comes with it, this is made from clear and orange plastic and the different doses are clearly labelled on the side of the syringe so that you can easily make sure your are giving your child the right does.
Nurofen for Children is both sugar free and colour free and contains active ingredient Ibuprofen 100mg/5ml suspension.
This medicine can be used for a range of injuries and sources of pain including
* Teething
* Tooth ache
* Headaches
* Sore throats
* Minor aches
* Sprains
* Fever
How to Use
The directions of how to use Nurofen for Children is clearly listed on the leaflet inside the packaging and states that your shake the bottle well prior to use and then use the syringe provided to draw up the correct amount of the medicine.
The doses are also clearly listed so that you know exactly how much of the product to give to your child, these include
* Post Immunisation - One 2.5ml dose followed by a second dose 6 hours later. No more that 2 doses in 24 hours.
* Ages 3 - 6 Months (Weighing more that 5kg) No more than three 2.5ml doses in 24 hours.
* Ages 6 - 12 Months - No more that 3 to 4 2.5ml doses in 24 hours.
* 1 - 3 Years - No more than 3 5ml doses in 24 hours.
* 4 - 6 Years - No more than 3 7.5ml doses in 24 hours.
* 7 - 9 Years - No more than 3 10ml doses in 24 hours.
The instructions state that the doses should be given every 6 to 8 hours with at least 4 hours between each doses, we gave Jayden a 5ml dose at a time and gave him 3 doses in 24 hours, however combined with the Calpol it meant that he was topped up most of the time with pain killers which helped with his temperature and also any pain or discomfort caused.
These again appear on the packaging of Nurofen for Children and include
* Do not exceed the stated dose
* For short term use only* Do not give to babies 3 to 6 months for more than 24 hours
* Do not give for children over 6 months for more than 3 days
* If systems persist or worsen consult your doctor
* Do not give to babies under 3 months or weighing less than 5kg
* Do not give to your child if they have ever had an ulcer perforation or bleeding of the stomach
* Do not give to your child if they are allergic to any of the ingredients
* Speak to your doctor before giving this to your child if they have asthma, liver, heart or bowel problems
Price and Availability
We got our Nurofen for Children prescribed by the doctors, however it is also available from a variety of chemists as well as supermarkets. As ours was prescribed so we didn't actually have to pay for it, however I have seen this product available in Boots and a 100ml bottle is sold for £3.15. This is a average price for this type of product and in my opinion well worth the money if it helps your baby to feel better.
My Opinion
We started using Nurofen for Children on Jayden Tuesday night after a trip to the doctors, we were prescribed this medicine in order to help bring his temperature down, as I have mentioned I combined this with Calpol and by morning his temperature was much lower and he seemed much happier in himself, although he still was not totally better.
We continued using the Nurofen for a few days and I have to say it really did work, getting Jayden to take medicine with a spoon is very difficult and always ends up messy with everyone and everything nearby being sticky, however with the syringe that it provided things are much easier and the medicine does not get spilt.
Nurofen for Children is definitely worth the money is it really did work for Jayden and helped to make him feel better. This is definitely a product that I would recommend and I will certainly be buying another bottle of this to keep in the house.
Nurofen For Children is ibuprofen and is used to treat pain and the symptoms of sickness such as fever and aching. I use it mostly when my 9 month old daughter has got teething pain because it is very effective and works a lot faster than Calpol.
Nurofen For Children can be used for babies of just 3 months old but I did not use it so early. There is a grid printed where you can check your babys age and it will tell you how much medicine to give them, this will be between 2.5ml and 10ml for children who are older. I use the syringe that comes with the medicine to give it to my daughter because that is the easiest way to get an accurate dose and it helps me to make sure she has swallowed it all.
I am very happy with Nurofen For Children and think it works very well for my daughter. She has had a lot of pain this week because she has got a tooth that is going to break through very soon so she is in pain and has got other teething symptoms also like a sore bottom and a fever, I have been giving her Calpol and this medicine and I can see that it is more effective than Calpol because of how quick it works and how it gets my daughter back to normal so soon.
My daughter takes this very easy because she likes the orange taste and does not ever spit it out of her mouth. She had the strawberry one and liked that also so I think the medicine must taste very nice even though it is sugar free.
It works very quickly and I am happy for that because I do not like to see my children sick. I do not think it is as effective as Calpol for reducing a fever but it is a better pain killer and my daughter is free of her teething pain for a lot longer, it is a shame when it wears off because I know giving her a dose of Calpol will not take it away properly again. My other children have used Nurofen For Children but not very often because they do not become sick very much, it works for them with pain also and I think that is good because they are so much bigger than the baby but do not have to take very much more medicine.
You keep it in the medicine cabinet and not the fridge because it will grow crystals in the bottom of the bottle if you chill it.
A bottle of Nurofen For Children costs about £3 and I think it is worth it because it is so effective. My children are never sick for very long so a bottle lasts me for a long time, some of the chemists will give it to you if you take a doctors prescription in for childrens ibuprofen but my chemist will now only give the none brand ibuprofen so I buy my own because it is a product I trust very much.
5 Dooyoo Stars.
We don't usually buy this medicine as I have found the supermarket versions are just as good however this is what happens when you sent the other half to the shops! Both my children get dreadful temperatures when they are ill so we were advised by the doctor to use both a Paracetamol product and an Ibuprofen product at staggered times to have the best effect and help control the temperatures.
The Medicine is available in chemists, supermarkets and discount style stores so it is readily available. The medicine is available in orange or strawberry flavour and generally costs in the region of £3 for a 100ml bottle is about double the price of the supermarket own versions.
The medicine comes packaged in a brown glass bottle with a picture of a target on the front of it and a baby along with an older girl pictured. The box that the medicine comes in is the same as the bottle and both displays the name of the product and then on the back you have dosage information as well as a list of ingredients. Also in the box you have a special syringe which is only to be used with the Nurofen bottles as underneath the childproof screw top lid you find the top of the bottle has a special stopper in it and the syringe fits in it perfectly. I like the Nurofen syringes as you don't have to dip them inside the medicine to dose them up and therefore don't end up with sticky medicine on the outside of it.
The dosing of the medicine depends on the age and weight of the child and it states you should only give the medicine every 6-8 hours but must leave at least 4 hours in between doses,
3-6 months (weighing more than 5kg) can have 2.5mls 3 times a day
6-12 months olds can have 2.5mls 3-4 times a day
1-3 years old can have 5mls 3 times in a day
4-6 years old can have 7.5mls 3 times in a day
7-9 years old can have 10mls 3 times a day
The medicine smells of oranges and both my girls like the taste of it, it has a very sweet smell to it and the medicine itself is very sticky so I would say if you do spill any anywhere then it's a good idea to clean it up straight away. The medicine seems to work pretty quickly and I have found that it does work best alongside Paracetamol which is what I was advised, I tend to give my children half doses and give them much more often and this helps to keep the temperature steady when they are poorly. I rate this 4 stars from 5 as the price lets the medicine down, the medicine itself is really great and helps make little ones feel better quickly but so does the supermarket version.
Although Calpol seems to do the job with easing my daughter's pain, there are some times where she needs a little bit more and ibuprofen is ok to take with paracetamol based products so I always make sure I've got a bottle of Nurofen just in case she needs it. I normally buy the strawberry flavoured Nurofen but my local Tesco didn't have any in when I last bought it so I bought the orange flavour instead.
Nurofen for children in the orange flavour is widely available to purchase from supermarkets, chemists and places such as Boots. A 100ml bottle usually costs around £3. The packaging is typical of the Nurofen brand being mainly silver in colour with the well-known target as its logo, it also has orange on the bottom half of the box signifying the orange flavour. Inside the box is a bottle, a syringe and an information booklet.
The medicine is suitable for children between the ages of 3 months all the way up to 12 years. The dosage information is as follows:
3-6 months - 2.5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours
6-12 months - 2.5ml up to 4 times in 24 hours
1-3 years - 5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours
4-6 years - 7.5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours
7-9 years - 10ml up to 3 times in 24 hours
10-12 years - 15ml up to 3 times in 24 hours
The bottle includes a child proof lid and after you've struggled to get this off (I think most of these bottle are adult proof as well as child proof!) you will find a plastic covering over the hole with a circle shape hole missing in the middle. This hole is where you insert the syringe until it makes a clicking sound so you know it's inserted correctly, once in place you simply tip the bottle upside down and pull the inner part of the syringe out until the medicine reaches the required amount. I must admit that this type of bottle did put me off a bit at first but now I've realised that it is so much cleaner this way, the medicine doesn't drip down the sides of the bottle and then stuck to the box, it stays well contained the bottle. Another thing I love about the syringe is when it comes to washing it up I have to have a little play and pull water up the shaft then squirt it back out, but that's just me being a big kid!
My three year old daughter loves taking her medicine with the syringe, she has a full syringe full for her 5ml dose and I stop half way through pushing it into her mouth so she can swallow half before swallowing the rest. She doesn't kick up a fuss even though it's a different flavour for her, she normally has strawberry/blackcurrant medicines but still doesn't mind taking this one. I find after around 20 minutes of taking the required dose, my daughters does seem to calm down and her symptoms disappear.
I normally use this alongside Calpol but have used this solely a couple of times when my daughter doesn't seem that poorly. It normally lasts around 3 hours before it wears off and the symptoms return. When I do use it along with Calpol I always make sure I write down what medicine my daughter is having and when as it can get confusing with the different dosages and the last thing I want to do is give her an overdose!
I'd definitely recommend this Nurofen for children in the orange flavour. It's a nice change to the normal strawberry flavoured medicine and my daughter doesn't kick up a fuss if she has to take any. It is effective at relieving symptoms and these effects last a good time.
Recently my son was ill and was running a high temperature even after I had given him my trusty Calpol. After a visit to A and E they recommended giving him ibuprofen to help bring his temperature. As a result of this experience we now have a new addition to the medicine cabinet in the form of Nurofen for Children.
I use Nurofen myself but normally associate it with muscle sprains as I consider it as an anti-inflammatory so was surprised that it is also useful in dealing with fevers. The orange flavour was liked by my son and the syringe that came with it was great as it avoid the spills associated with trying to give a young child medicine in a spoon. So good an idea is the syringe is that I would suggest you keep it even after the medicine has been used up in case you end up with another brand which comes with a spoon. The syringe also made it very easy to measure out the exact dose which was 5ml as my son is now over a year old. (Good grief doesn't time fly!) As with if all medicines you should check to see what dosage is suitable for your child and take care if they are small for their age as a lower dosage may be more suitable. Nurofen should not be used if you have any stomach ulcers so I prefer to give it after a meal or a bottle so it is less harsh on my son's stomach.
I have to admit that the Nurofen did seem to help with his fever. I particularly like the fact that it can be given in addition to a paracetamol based painkiller such as Calpol. This meant in our case we could give Capol then we felt that he was still suffering give Nurofen a couple of hours later. (Although you need to leave 4 hours in-between doses of Nurofen.) No one likes to see their child in pain so I would certainly recommend this as a handy addition to the medicine cabinet. As Nurofen is a well known brand it is pretty easy to find Nurofen for Children in most chemists. It costs around £6.50 . Although we have the orange flavour and will stick to that as we know my son likes it there is also a strawberry flavour available too.
Now that my little girl has turned three, when it comes to her temperatures and fevers I think something a bit stronger than Calpol for children aged 2 months plus is needed to make her feel better. A mummy friend who is also a nurse recommended Nurofen for children as this is what she always uses for her son and says it works quite well so I decided to try some.
On the box it says that Nurofen for Children Orange reduces temperature (including fever caused by immunisation) and soothes away pain. There are often times when my little girl has a bit of a temperatures and some sniffles picked up from school or her friends and so an early night and some Nurofen really works well. Nurofen also works against the following infant problems too so it's a bit of a cure everything medicine but then I think that's good and something I know I can turn to in my medicine cabinet when my little girl has any problems. The problems are as follows:
Sore throats
Minor aches
The medicine is in the form of a thick sticky liquid. It has quite a sweet orange taste I'm sure to make it appealing to young children. My little girl was not too sure about it at first but now she opens her mouth wide whenever she needs the medicine and actually asks for it so this is the point when I know she must be sick. The liquid contains ibuprofen as well.
The medicine comes with a handy dosing syringe too which I have to admit I find a bit easier than the spoons that you get with other medicines. It's very simple to use and quite easy to squirt into your little ones mouth if they are not being cooperative. The syringe fits into the neck of the bottle and you just pull it back to the amount that you need and then its ready to give to your child.
You can actually give this medicine to children from the age of 3 months but I prefer to stick to regular Calpol for my little boy and let my older girl have this medicine when she needs it. In fact, there are different dosage amounts depending on the age of your child and as a 1-3 year old my daughter gets more than a smaller child. We have a 200ml bottle which cost £6.59 from Boots and is a medicine I can trust.
At the beginning of last summer, Oscar came down with an ear infection. The doctor prescribed anti biotics, and told us we could also alternate Calpol and infant ibuprofen, and recommended Nurofen for children. I had never used it before, as Calpol had always been sufficient for teething pain.
I picked up an orange flavoured bottle in Tesco for £3 for 100ml. It comes with a handy syringe which attaches onto the end of the bottle, giving you an exact dose each time. The syringe also makes it very easy to put into Oscar's mouth. The anti biotics he was on had quite a bitter taste, so it meant every time I came towards him with the spoon, he would thrash about. The fact that the Nurofen was being administered with a syringe helped him to differentiate between the two, and was quite happy to take it.
The pain relief worked within minutes, much quicker than Calpol, and lasted about 5-6 hours.
It also comes in strawberry flavour, and also in sugar free variations of both flavours. You can buy it in sachets too, but I think these are very fiddly, and difficult to get an exact dose, although they are handy to pop a couple in your changing bag.
There is two things I like to keep well stocked in my medicine box - Calpol & Nurofen - in case my little one comes down with an illness. As previously advsied by my pharmacist and doctors, you can mix Calpol & Nurofen (please see your own doctor if you can also do this) to speed up recovery from an illness. Today I will be telling you a bit more about Nurofen in Orange flavour.
What is Nurofen?
Nurofen Orange is an ibuprofen oral suspension for children. It is a painkiller which can be mixed with Calpol (as Calpol is paracetamol based - although always check with your personal doctor before mixing different medicines).
What does Nurofen do?
Nurofen helps a number of pains which occur in children such as:
* Reduces temperature (including fever caused by immunisation)
* Teething
* Toothache
* Sore Throats
* Headache
* Minor Aches
* Sprains
Who is it suitable for?
The box I have bought recently in orange flavour is suitable from 3 months to 9 years old.
It is not suitable for children aged under 3 months or weighting under 5kg.
What do you get with this product?
Inside the cardboard box packaging you get a fold out of instructions, a plastic 100ml bottle of Nurofen and a syringe to administer the medicine - the syringe is very handy for young children who do not take medicine from a spoon.
Dosage information can be found on the back of the packaging which is as follows:
3 months and over : one 2.5ml dose and second dose of 2.5ml to be given 6 hours later
3-6 months : one 2.5ml dose 3 times a day
6-12 months : one 2.5ml dose 3 or 4 times in 24 hour period
1-4 years : one 5ml dose 3 times in 24 hours
4-7 years : one 7.5ml dose 3 times in 24 hours
over 7 years : one 10ml dose 3 times in 24 hours
Is it yummy?
My daughter says it isnt a disgusting medicine, it does taste like oranges and she will happily eat it... but states it isnt as nice as Strawberry Calpol (is anything as nice as Calpol??!!)
My verdict
I have been buying this alongside Calpol since my daughter was a tiny baby - it was recommended by my health visitor to use with Calpol after injections - it really did help her in my opinion!
I still choose to give both calpol and nurofen together to my daughter because paracetamol and ibuprofen together do work very well - and this is on the doctors advice... it does work well.
Unlike calpol - in which you measure the dosage using a spoon provided - this comes with a measuring syringe - which makes it almost impossible to measure too much. Brilliant idea as the product is also for very young children... Can never be too careful.
I also like how like with all good medicines there is a safety cap on the top which keeps little hands away - its so wrong but I was always drinking Calpol out of the medicine cupboard when I was younger, so I also like to keep this out of my daughters way... The bottle is also plastic instead of glass which makes it that bit safer...
The price is expensive but I know the product works well so as its for my little one I don't mind paying extra for it.
I love Nurofen - an essential for your childrens medicine.
Price & Availability
You can buy 100ml bottle contents for £3 in Tesco at the moment - it can be bought practically anywhere including all big supermarkets and pharmacies.
After dispairing with my son's teething, I decided to purchase a bottle (just under £3 for 100ml, which is slightly more expensive than a shop's own brand). Since then I have not looked back.
The box states "with easy dosing syringe", which is exactly what it is. It makes it extremely easy to give to babies, and screaming toddlers alike!
The flavour I find is quite sharp, however it definately has an orange tang.
I would say this is one of the best medicines I have ever bought. It seems more effective than paracetamol based medicines with teething and with headaches (as I found out after my daughter bumped hers!). It is one of the ones I would say that actually works for what it states on the box, in this instance teething, toothache, sore throats, headaches, minor aches and sprains.
I would definately recommend to anyone with small children.
This morning my little one woke up feeling unwell, he was then sick twice and I was glad I decided to keep him home from nursery even though it's only his first week.
I brought him downstairs and lay him cwtched up on the sofa with comfort toy, Scout (see review). He asked for a drink so I gave him some juice, thinking it was better to vomit that back up rather than milk, within 5 mins of drinking it he was sick again.
He looks so pityful when he's ill, he's rarely ill and usually a mini tornado so it's weird to see him laying quietly on the sofa :o(.
I opened the fridge and saw (not what I was looking for) a bottle of Nurofen for children! Phewww, I thought we had run out but it was laying down in the top shelf. I got it out, rummaged around in the drawer for the dosing syringe and stuck it in the bottle. The syringe has a flat end, which fits straight into the stopper on the medicine bottle and pulls up quick and easy. The syringe is exactly how it looks it the above picture, a clear tube with the Nurofen brand name written up the side with the dosage on the other side and an orange pully up bit.
We have the orange flavoured one and my kids love it!! They think it's a treat and ask for more!
The dosage instructions are on the box and also on the bottle, as it is, my little boy was to have 5ml, so I gave him the medicine and within 20 mins or so, he was running around, like there had never been anything wrong! It's fast acting and really is a brilliant medicine to have in the cupboard/fridge ready for when the kids get ill!
It did start wearing off around 3.30pm - 4pm which I found really well as he took the medicine at around 9.30am. I gave him another 5ml and he was right as rain in no time again.
I have taken this from the Nurofen for children website, which is quite cute, with lot's of butterflies floating around!
Starts to work in just 15 minutes to relieve fever
Relieves fever for up to 8 hours - that's up to 2 hours longer than paracetamol based products
Provides fever relief through the night - which means a good night's rest for both of you
Treats pain from those little tumbles, earache and relieves the fever associated with teething
Is the best-selling Ibuprofen suspension
Is available in a choice of flavours - orange or strawberry

Comes with a unique easy dosing device, which helps make giving the correct dose to your child simple
The prices below are a rough guide ~
100ml bottle orange or strawberry £3.20
16 pk sachet £3.90
8pk sachet £3.30
Nurofen for children can be bought in supermarkets, pharmacies, and even local convience stores/corner shops.
I give this 5/5.
I always like to make sure that I have a well stocked medicine box just in case my son should develop a fever or something quite quickly so that I will be able to treat it effectively. One of the products I like to keep in is Nurofen for children ibuprofen suspension. I like this keep this product in alongside calpol as you can alternate the two medicines every couple of hours to help deal with a particularly nasty temperature.
The active ingredient in nurofen medicine is ibuprofen and there are 100mg or ibuprofen per 5ml spoon.
The nurofen can be bought in both strawberry and orange varieties and in sachets as well as bottled medicine. My review is for a 150ml bottle of the orange variety, I cannot remember the exact cost but looking online a 200ml bottle will set you back around £5.00.
The medicine comes in an orange box with a silver top which is more in keeping with the nurofen brand. The box features the nurofen target logo. In the box you have your bottle of medicine which is just like any other standard brown bottle with a white child proof lid. The bottle also features a label which tells us the directions for use. In the box you also receive a syringe which is required to use this bottle of medicine.
To use the medicine you need to push down the child proof lid and twist it. When you remove the lid you see a strange looking thing in the neck of the bottle. There is a plastic feature with a hold in which you need to insert the syringe provided. You can then turn the bottle upside down and pull the end of the syringe to fill it. I think this is a good little feature as you avoid any spillages as you cannot get any medicine from the bottle without the syringe. The syringe also makes it easy to give an accurate dose of medicine to your child when required in my opinion too.
As I mentioned the nurofen that I am reviewing is the orange variety. It has a nice sweet scent to it and it also tastes quite sweet-although it is sugar free. I have no issues in getting my son to take this medicine when it is required so that makes the whole experience better in my opinion.
The nurofen medicine is suitable for use for children from three months of age as long as they weigh more than 5kg but of course the dosage varies for each age band:
3-6 months (and more than 5kg) - 2.5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours
6-12 months - 2.5ml up to 3-4 times in 24 hours
1-3years - 5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours
4-6 years - 7.5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours
7-9 years - 10ml up to 3 times in 24 hours
10-12 years - 15ml 3 times in 24 hours
There should always be a minimum of four hours between the doses of nurofen and of course you should use your discretion when giving the medicine. Although my son is now five I only ever give him 5ml of the medicine at one go as I find that is usually enough.
I have used this product particularly when my son has had a high temperature and I usually find that within around twenty minutes his temperature is under control again. This product can also be used for teething pains, ear aches, sore throats and other similar aches and pains. You could also use this as a precautionary measure after childhood immunisations but of course that is personal choice.
I have always found nurofen children's ibuprofen to be really effective in helping my son to feel better when he is poorly and for this reason I will always ensure that I have this product at home. I thoroughly recommend it to parents of young children and feel it is very valuable to have in your home in case of a poorly child.
Having bought Nurofen For Children Orange, I can say that it is something that when administered safely and carefully following the correct dosage, can and does help with teething pain and fevers in young children and babies. The product comes as either a 200ml bottle or in small 5ml sachets, both are helpful and the sachets are great for when out and away from the home.
Nurofen For Children Orange is an analgesic product that has antipyretic capabilities, in other words it can take down a fever and reduce body temperature at the same time. Its a well known product that contains Ibuprofen as its main ingredient. Its something that we have always used carefully, following all instructions given with the product.
Nurofen For Children Orange is something we have used sparingly when we wanted to be able to settle fevers and high temperatures. We found that the product works well in situations like the evening following an immunisation. It can also be a helpful thing to give to a child during periods of teething or when a child is suffering with cold or flu type symptoms.
We have found that Nurofen For Children Orange is also very helpful if dealing with a child who has an insect bite or sting. Often bites and stings can cause nasty swelling around the effected area and can mean you end up with an unwell and feverish child. When using the Nurofen For Children Orange suspension we have found it to be very helpful when dealing with this type of incident.
The product is a rather sweet orange flavoured suspension. Its rather sickly sweet, yet easily accepted by most babies and children. The suspension is sugar free and also free from artificial colours. We have found it very quick to administer as it comes with a simple syringe when you buy it as a 200ml bottle. The product contains 100mg of Ibuprofen in each 5mls of the product.
When using the product we have found it can begin to work in around 15 minutes or so. This makes it a good choice for a poorly baby or young child, as it works fast towards easing pain and lowering any raised temperature. The makers say that the product can last up to 2 hours longer than a paracetmol suspension can, but obviously it does wear off after a few hours.
The sachets which contain the orange flavoured suspension are priced at around £4 for 16 sachets each containing small 5ml doses. The orange flavoured suspension in the 200ml bottle works out at much better value, as you get a greater amount of product for your money.
There are a potential 20 x 5ml doses within just one 200ml bottle. Although the Nurofen For Children Orange does work well, it does cost a little more than a similar amount of the paracetamol suspension product Calpol. We have used both varieties and brands, but have slightly favoured the paracetamol product over the ibuprofen based product.
One thing that is good is the fact that Nurofen For Children Orange can be given to young babies from 3 months old onwards. This makes it very helpful, but dosage must be strictly adhered to. The product is not suitable for asthmatic children as it contains ibuprofen. When we have used the product we have always noted timings and doses so that we can be sure to get these right.
In terms of rating the product I feel that 4 stars seems about right for it. It is something that has been of help and does work well. However its not something that should be given lightly and care must be taken when giving it to a child. If in doubt about whether the product is suitable for your child, its best to consult a Dr or health professional prior to using it and then follow all instructions given.
Relieves fever, pain, soar throat and teething. Suitable from 3 months.

I'm going to have to rewrite our standard rules page thanks to changes in circumstance (there is no dungeon anymore) and to accommodate new suggestions. It would also be nice to fold in Chris Clarke's ideas. So I'm asking you regular readers to do the job for me!
Here's the goal: a short document with a list of rules/guidelines, each one no more than a sentence or two. Keep it simple and clear so there's no excuse for anybody to not read it before posting. Heck, maybe I should just adopt Chris's Civility Pledge wholesale.
Each of you don't have to write the whole thing. If there's just one point you think is really important, just make a comment spelling it out. I'll assemble the suggestions myself later.
Once I've got the new condensed, simplified, easy rules in order, I'll create a page with them and put it in a tab right up top.
(Man, this is what I do every day: tell a group of people that they have an assignment, get writing, do the work.)

UnNews:William the Conqueror sets up the Domesday Inquiry

William the Conqueror sets up the Domesday Inquiry
Every time you think, you weaken the nation —Moe Howard

LONDON, Ye Olde Englande -- William the Conqueror has ordered a new inquiry to investigate why the Domesday Book missed a series of sex crimes committed by celebrity jester Jimmy Serfvile. Speaking at the opening of his brand new castle in London, the Conqueror explained how the Domesday Book missed the blatant abuse going on under its nose.
"This was a classic example of investigators misunderstanding what the Anglo-Saxons were doing when their backs were turned. The Domesday Book - which I originally set up as a tax audit and a counting sheep survey of my new acquisition - apparently employed Serfvile to travel the country, promoting charity fun running events for leper hospitals. Now I have set up the Domesday Inquiry to find out what went wrong and why he was allowed to mix with mad people."
The Conqueror said the Domesday Inquiry had license to trawl all through the relevant parchments to see how far Serfvile and his friends were protected by friends like Sir Knowing Winker, Snotburga Panderer and Gary Gutter. The crimes apparently dates back as far as Harold the Treacherous, Backstabbing Usurper who was in charge of England in 1066. In particular, Serfvile's stage act Jim'll Fix It For You To Come Back to His Caravan will be looked into.
Criticism was also levelled at the British Bayeux Tapestry Corporation for their failure to illustrate examples of Serfvile up to his antics. The head of the BBTC, Bishop Patently Odious, admitted they had known about some of the rumours but had consigned some of this information to the embroidered margins. Though there had been an investigation, the BBTC had gone ahead with a Jimmy Serfvile Stitching Special (since burnt). Odious said it was a catastrophe that anyone had learnt the truth and blamed the weavers. He has also since promised to make a pilgrimage to Rome on his hands and knees if that would do any good.
The English press have been divided about where to muck rake next. The Norman French Guardian welcomed the Domesday Inquiry but the Anglo-Saxon Sun said heads at the BBTC needed to roll a very long way. A free axe would be included in their special Spot-a-Pervert-Guide in their extra large weekend edition, along with a year's free supply of cow dung.

INDIANAPOLIS -- A priest who performed exorcisms on an Indiana woman who said her family was possessed by demons has signed a deal to bring the story to the big screen.
The Rev. Michael Maginot, of St. Stephen, Martyr parish in Merrillville, declined to disclose the terms of his contract with Evergreen Media Holdings Executive Chairman Tony DeRosa-Grund, calling it a "standard deal." DeRosa-Grund produced "The Conjuring," which grossed $318 million worldwide.
After The Indianapolis Star published an article about Latoya Ammons' claims that she and her three children had been possessed by demons, the story received international attention. More than a dozen movie producers and countless TV shows have clamored for interviews.
Maginot, who performed a series of exorcisms on Ammons, said he signed a contract with DeRosa-Grund because he felt the producer wouldn't sensationalize what happened.
"The story is good as it is," Maginot said. "You don't need to go crazy with it."
Maginot said he also signed a contract with Zak Bagans, host and executive producer of "Ghost Adventures" on the Travel Channel, to make a documentary.
Bagans purchased the Gary, Ind., home where Ammons and her mother, Rosa Campbell, say many of the strange things happened. In addition to an on-camera interview, Maginot agreed to go back into the home and participate in another investigation for Bagans' piece.

Kurtley Beale relishes fresh start
After witnessing the plight of good mate James O'Connor, Kurtley Beale admits he feels lucky to have been given a fresh start by the NSW Waratahs.
Beale says he's learnt lessons from a tumultuous year, which included two suspensions by the Melbourne Rebels, and has vowed to follow through with changes he's made to improve his life off the field.
The sidelined Wallabies star is making a strong return from a shoulder reconstruction, and is on track to resume contact work in January, in time to press his claim for the Waratahs No.10 jersey.
O'Connor had his ARU contract torn up for disciplinary issues and was unwanted back at the Rebels next season, leaving a return to the Western Force - and a big pay cut - his only Australian rugby option.
The strong action taken by the ARU shows their patience has finally run out with a perceived brat culture element that's been destabilising the Wallabies.
Beale has signed a one-year deal to return to the Waratahs, where he made his debut back in 2007, and the star playmaker feels being back in Sydney with them can help him rebuild his career.
"I'm lucky the position I'm in now and I'm excited," Beale said.
"I've learnt from the things I've done in the past.
"I'd rather get them out of the way now than down the track when I guess it would be too late.
"Without going through those experiences I wouldn't be able to find out what I need to improve on.
"Coming back to the 'Tahs, it's an awesome bunch of blokes ... they show a lot of care and I'm grateful for the support."
The 24-year-old spent two weeks in a rehabilitation centre for alcohol-related issues, following an incident in South Africa where he was involved in a punch up with two Rebels teammates.
Beale said he's had to change some things off the field to ensure he doesn't go off the rails again.
"Everyone goes through life and you've got to tweak a few things here and there and I'm no different," he said.
"I'm going to stick to what I know best.
"I'm very thankful I've got through it now and I'm feeling very confident that with the support around me I'm able to go out there and live my life."
Beale spoke to O'Connor as recently as Tuesday night and is hopeful the 23-year-old will stay in Australian rugby.
"He's keeping a few things to himself at the moment which is fair enough," he said.
"He's obviously going through a tough time."
Waratahs coach Michael Cheika made it clear he wouldn't be holding Beale's hand.
He wants his marquee signing to take control of his life and be his own man.
"To be honest, I'm worried about my own headspace let alone (worrying about) others," Cheika said.
"I'm not going to muck around with that stuff, he's a man. He can make his decisions. Take responsibilities like everyone else and get on with it."

Google's acquisition of VirusTotal is a bid by the company to strengthen its Web security posture. "Security is incredibly important to our users and we've invested many millions of dollars to help keep them safe online," said a Google spokeswoman via email. "VirusTotal also has a strong track record in Web security, and we're delighted to be able to provide them with the infrastructure they need to ensure that their service continues to improve."
"Here's a little secret. Having a huge index of suspected and confirmed malware is really handy for protecting hundreds of millions of users," tweeted Google's Justin Schuh, who's part of the Google Chrome security team.
Launched in 2004, Spain-based VirusTotal offers on-demand scanning of any URL or file, aggregating detection capabilities offered by command-line versions of about 40 different antivirus scanning engines, file characterization tools and datasets, and website scanning engines.
But a blog post from the "VirusTotal Team" that announced the company's acquisition by Google, said that the company had often faced resource challenges, which of course Google--a long-term business partner--will singlehandedly overcome. "This is great news for you, and bad news for malware generators because [the] quality and power of our malware research tools will keep improving, most likely faster; and Google's infrastructure will ensure that our tools are always ready, right when you need them," according to the VirusTotal blog post.
[ Are you paying attention to the right things? Read 6 Password Security Essentials For Developers. ]
Google has increasingly been going on the offensive when it comes to spotting malware. Earlier this year, the company said it would begin warning users when their accounts appeared to be targeted by state-sponsored attackers. More recently, the company has also begun alerting users when it detects unusual access patterns to their email.
Early reaction from the antivirus industry to the deal has been positive. Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro, said in a blog post that the deal "is excellent news," because it will create an even more massive, on-demand repository of known-bad code. "Google's massive infrastructure is much more stable than the existing stand-alone VirusTotal infrastructure and we believe it will be [a] much more reliable source and so a benefit for the industry as a whole," she said.
In addition, Chen suggested that Google itself could now serve as a clearinghouse for malware samples, replacing what's now more of an ad hoc approach involving lots of behind-the-scenes sharing. "In the current system, security vendors get samples from their AV testing group, who in turn get these from other AV vendors," she said. "The problem with this is that whoever submits more samples get a higher detection rate and that skews the system. Overall, I think it's much better for everyone if the security vendors ... get these sample feeds directly from Google."
Some Google fans are already envisioning new ways in which the VirusTotal malware database might be extended. "Whoa, Google just bought VirusTotal ... Could it contribute to the Bouncer in the future perhaps?" read a tweet from Android Police, referring to Google's automated code-review service, which it uses to help keep malware out of its Google Play application marketplace.

The 10 most important Bruins in 2013-14
In the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season, the Bruins came up just short of winning their second Stanley Cup championship in three years. Following the year, there was some notable turnover in personnel, including the departures of Nathan Horton, Tyler Seguin, and Andrew Ference, along with additions such as Jarome Iginla and Loui Eriksson.
Heading into the 2013-14 campaign, here are the 10 most important players whose play will be crucial to the Bruins quest for their third Stanley Cup Final appearance in the past four seasons.
10. Johnny Boychuk
Boychuk will be spending time this season as one of the leaders of a much younger defense than the Bruins have had in the past. With Andrew Ference now in Edmonton, Boychuk will have to take the lead in helping young defensemen Dougie Hamilton, Torey Krug, and Matt Bartkowski adjust to playing full-time in the NHL.
After scoring just one goal in the 2012-13 regular season, Boychuk took off in the playoffs, scoring six to go along with his plus-4 rating.
Boychuk's continued growth as a veteran leader on a younger defense will be another key in helping the Bruins to a successful 2013-14 campaign.
9. Brad Marchand
Marchand has made great strides since he won the Stanley Cup with the Bruins as a rookie in 2010-11, and has developed into one of the Bruins most reliable scorers. Leading the team in goals and assists in 2012-13, Marchand has developed a chemistry with Patrice Bergeron that has helped them through playing with three different right wings over the past three seasons.
Marchand is looking forward to what newcomer Loui Eriksson can bring to the Bruins' second line, and the four-year veteran will try to continue to evolve into one of the league's most electric scorers.
8. Dennis Seidenberg
Arguably the Bruins best defender after Zdeno Chara, Seidenberg's play has been critical in helping the Bruins make the deep postseason runs that they have had in recent years. The key to success in coach Claude Julien's system is a strong defense that shuts down other teams scoring opportunities, and that is where Seidenberg succeeds.
After recording a plus-12 rating in the run to the Stanley Cup in 2011, Seidenberg had a tougher 2013 playoffs, seemingly losing a step and holding just a plus-1 rating. It will be important for Seidenberg to regain his 2011 postseason form if the Bruins want to make another deep playoff push in 2013-14.
7. Jarome Iginla
After famously spurning the Bruins by vetoing a trade and accepting one to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline last season, Iginla made the decision to sign with the Bruins as a free agent in the offseason. Iginla has been one of the most prolific scorers of the past 15 years, and is considered by many to be a future hall of famer.
Iginla scored twice in his first preseason game with the Bruins and has shown great chemistry on the ice with linemates David Krejci and Milan Lucic. The Bruins lost high scoring forward Nathan Horton to the Columbus Blue Jackets in the offseason, and the team hopes Iginla can pick up where Horton left off in keeping the first line running like a well-oiled machine.
6. Loui Eriksson
One of the most controversial moves made by Bruins management over the offseason was trading former No. 2 overall pick Tyler Seguin to the Dallas Stars. Seguin was regarded as the Bruins' best young star, but the team thought it had not seen enough progress from Seguin and decided to go in a different direction.
The most prominent player arriving from Dallas in that trade was winger Loui Eriksson. Eriksson has been compared favorably to Patrice Bergeron in his abilities not only as an offensive forward, but also as a strong defender, a combination that should fit Claude Julien's system well.
5. Milan Lucic
Heading into his seventh season as a Bruin, Milan Lucic has taken a greater role in leadership than he had in the past. Though still only 25, Lucic is one of the Bruins' veteran leaders on and off the ice. He has also been one of the most productive Bruins over the past few seasons, playing on the top line with David Krejci and Nathan Horton, who left after the season.
After a slow start to the 2013 season, Lucic caught fire going in the playoffs, scoring seven goals and 12 assists in the Bruins run to the Stanley Cup Final.
4. David Krejci
Recently named an alternate captain for the 2013-14 season, Krejci was the leading scorer on both Bruins teams that reached the Stanley Cup Final. Krejci's importance to the Bruins was prominently displayed in the 2010 playoffs, when a broken wrist forced him to miss the final four games of the Eastern Conference semifinal against the Flyers and the Bruins lost four straight games after winning the first three.
Krejci's high production with Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton on the Bruins' first line has been paramount for the past few seasons, and with Horton now in Columbus and Jarome Iginla ready to take over his spot on right wing, Krejci's leadership will take on a new level that will test the center in trying to help bring the Bruins back to the Stanley Cup Final.
3. Tuukka Rask
Once Conn Smythe winning goaltender Tim Thomas decided to leave the Bruins for a year off following 2012, the Bruins made it clear that Tuukka Rask would be the team's goaltender of the future. Rask had had some experience as the Bruins starter – filling in after Thomas was injured in 2010 – but this was the first time that Rask would be the undisputed starter.
The Finnish goaltender flourished in the 2013 season, going 19-10-5 in 34 starts with a goals-against average of 2.00.
In the Bruins' run to the Stanley Cup Final, he was even better, posting a 14-8 record with a 1.88 GAA, including a dominant Eastern Conference Finals in which he allowed just two goals in four games to the top-seeded and electric Pittsburgh Penguins.
Rask signed an eight-year, $56 million contract this past offseason, further showing Boston's commitment to keeping Rask as its franchise goaltender for a long time.
2. Zdeno Chara
Signed as a free agent in 2006, Zdeno Chara was immediately named captain of the Bruins, a title he has held for the past eight seasons. One of the biggest players in NHL history, Chara has been a shut-down defenseman for his entire career in Boston.
He has had accumulated a career +/- of 163, and also holds the record for the fastest shot recorded in league history. He has used that powerful slap shot to tally 144 goals and 334 assists.
Consistently ranked as one of the NHL's best defenseman, he won the Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman in 2009, and was named a finalist in 2011 and 2012. The Slovakian captained the Bruins to the 2011 Stanley Cup, becoming the second European captain to win the Cup, and the first from a country formerly behind the "Iron Curtain'' of the Soviet Union.
1. Patrice Bergeron
Ever since trading captain Joe Thornton in 2005-06, the Bruins have made a commitment to build the team around their most promising star: Patrice Bergeron. That strategy has paid off, as Bergeron has become the unquestioned leader of the offense, and adding players and implementing ideas to compliment his skills has led to six straight playoff appearances, three division titles, two conference championships, and one Stanley Cup.
In his nine-year career, Bergeron has scored 153 goals and 280 assists and has a career +/- of 70. Noted as one of the best two-way players in the NHL, Bergeron won the Selke Trophy for the league's best defensive forward in 2011-12, and was a finalist this past season.

I'll take the heat, goes with the territory. You are dead wrong about my predictions for Mark Sanchez. I hated the Sparano hire, saw that mess in Cortland.
You seem to forget that Mark Sanchez is on Rex Ryan. Every sack, every fumble, every incompletion, every interception. How many NFL head coaches go through 3 offensive coordinators running 3 different offenses in a 3 year span? How many NFL head coaches are allowed to ignore the offense and focus solely on the defense? None and none.
Rex is a goner. If we don't go 4-12 this year we go 6-10. Same damn thing. The team that Rex Ryan put his stamp on is worse than the one he inherited. Nothing more need be said.

Dodgers believe Kershaw won't be suspended
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
"As far as I know, I'm pitching Tuesday," said Kershaw, who had not heard from the office of MLB executive vice president Joe Torre, Kershaw's former manager whose office handles discipline.
Kershaw, who won his 19th game despite the sixth-inning ejection, has two more starts to become the Dodgers' first 20-game winner since 1990.
Manager Don Mattingly, who was also ejected for arguing the play with plate umpire Bill Welke, said he believed the umpire demonstrated a quick trigger because of the incident the night before, when Parra showed up Dodgers reliever Hong-Chih Kuo after homering off him, and Kershaw screamed at Parra from the dugout.
"I think, in my mind, the reason [Welke] jumped the gun, it was almost like he anticipated trouble," said Mattingly. "It's over. I'm sure something minor will come out of it, but I'm sure nothing major. I don't plan on it being a big deal. You look at the video. There should be no effect on Clayton's next start.
"[Joe] is going to be fair. I'm confident from the standpoint that he understands the game. He'll watch the video and see what's going on. He won't be favorable to us or Clayton. It's a baseball guy in there, somebody around the game as long as Joe, someone involved in the game a long time and knows what's going on."
Although Torre spoke to Mattingly by phone on Wednesday afternoon, there was no warning issued by umpires before or during Wednesday night's game.
"We kind of got a little bit [of a warning] on the phone call, but when [coach Tim Wallach] went up to the plate [to exchange lineup cards], I wondered if there would be an official warning," said Mattingly. "There wasn't. That made [the ejection] even more surprising."
Broxton suffers setback, likely done for season
LOS ANGELES -- Jonathan Broxton apparently has had another setback after testing his elbow off a mound on Monday, according to manager Don Mattingly.
Broxton, sidelined since May 4 with a bruised elbow, now is likely to be shut down for the remaining two weeks of the season, having pitched only 12 2/3 innings in his free-agent season. His rehabilitation has been plagued by setbacks to his elbow and a sore back.
With the uncertainty over his health, and the emergence of Javy Guerra and Kenley Jansen in late-inning relief roles, the departure of Broxton and his $7 million salary is virtually assured.
"It's really tough," Mattingly said when asked how the club can evaluate Broxton for next season. "We haven't seen him pitch in a long time. I don't even know how to answer it. Everything is unknown. Can he bounce back without this bothering him? I'm sure he doesn't know either."
The two-time All-Star, who had 58 saves over 2009 and 2010, went 1-2 with a 5.68 ERA and seven saves this year.
Broxton joins Casey Blake (neck surgery), Rubby De La Rosa (elbow surgery), Jon Garland (shoulder surgery), Andre Ethier (knee surgery), Vicente Padilla (neck surgery) and Juan Uribe (sports hernia surgery) with season-ending injuries. It is not believed that Broxton needs surgery.
Ethier, who had minor right knee surgery on Wednesday, was at the ballpark on Thursday to begin his rehabilitation program, which will continue next week at his Arizona home.
MRI reveals no serious neck injury for Kuroda
LOS ANGELES -- An MRI on the neck of Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda on Thursday revealed no serious injury, and he is expected to make his scheduled start on Friday night against the Pirates.
Kuroda has had neck issues over the past three seasons and has received treatment over the past two weeks, although he has insisted the condition isn't nearly as bad as it was last season, when he was forced to miss several starts.
Kuroda has thrown 183 innings and needs seven more innings to earn a $175,000 bonus. If he completes 10 more innings after that, he will net a $200,000 bonus.
Tolleson, Van Slyke given Minor League awards
LOS ANGELES -- Reliever Shawn Tolleson and first baseman Scott Van Slyke were named the Dodgers Branch Rickey Minor League Pitcher and Player of the Year, respectively, on Thursday.
The right-handed Tolleson went a combined 7-2 with 25 saves and a 1.17 ERA in 57 relief appearances with Single-A Great Lakes, Class A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Chattanooga this season.
A 2010 30th-round Draft pick, Tolleson needed Tommy John elbow surgery in March 2006. A starting pitcher at Baylor University, the Dodgers moved him to the bullpen last year where he excelled, posting an 8-3 record with a 1.01 ERA, 144 strikeouts and 23 walks in 98 innings.
The right-handed-hitting Van Slyke won the Double-A Southern League batting title with a .348 average in 130 games with Chattanooga, and was the MVP of the Southern League Midseason All-Star Game. A 2005 14th-round pick, Van Slyke is the son of former Major League Andy Van Slyke. A late bloomer in his seventh professional season, the Dodgers must protect him or risk losing him in the Rule 5 Draft in December.
Tolleson and Van Slyke will be honored in an on-field ceremony prior to Friday night's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
