Governments exist by a mandate from the people to protect them from collective threats. In our time there is no greater threat than global climate change, and our government must face it head on. The choice for government officials is now disaster prevention or disaster relief. This is a chance for officials and politicians to become true leaders, to explain clearly the nature of the threat, and to connect in Americans' minds the need for short-term investment and regulation in order to avoid long-term calamity. (True leaders know how to do that. All other leaders must quickly learn how.)

Is raising minimum wage nationwide a horrible idea?in Politics Discussion on 01 July 2014
Its simple. The lower the wage, the higher the number of employees a Company can have with the same money. Higher production with no added cost. Thats why capitalist conglomerates always put pressure trying to push minimum wage down....

SaintMatty (368) Uppsala, Sweden | June 16, 2013
A superb and rather spacious pub in a lively and vibrant area. 10 real ales are on cask, with a fantastic selection of bottled beers from micros such as Summer Wine and Partizan, and they even had a Swedish beer when I was there (Nils Oscar India Ale).

The DuPont contribution, consisting of more than 200,000 lines of expressed sequence tags (ESTs), portions of a gene which can be used to locate an entire gene, more than doubles the amount of wheat genome information currently available to researchers through GenBank, a public database of DNA information held by the National Institutes of Health.
An important piece in overall crop science research, DuPont's contribution will considerably increase the amount of wheat genetic information widely available to scientists across the globe. A greater knowledge about the wheat genome will help advance the research of all cereal crops that feed a bulk of the people in the developing world.
"Making this data available to the public is consistent with the long tradition of DuPont of advancing science and crop genetics research worldwide," said Jim Miller, vice president, DuPont Crop Genetics Research & Development. "We are confident this data will strengthen the collaborative efforts among crop scientists and lead to the development of new and improved wheat varieties."
According to Miller, sharing this data with researchers worldwide will enhance the overall understanding of one of agriculture's most complex genomes.
"The wheat genome is significantly larger and more complex than most crops," said Miller. "Making this data available, without restrictions, will bolster many ongoing research efforts and provide a foundation for the development of advanced varieties that benefit growers, breeders and consumers."
DuPont and its subsidiary, Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc., will continue to aggressively research and develop improved wheat varieties. Pioneer is a leading provider of wheat varieties in the United States and Europe.
As the most widely consumed crop in the world, wheat holds the key to vast and innovative nutritional applications in feeding a growing world population. Enhanced by this new research, wheat's unique traits also will help produce better end-use characteristics for new generations of wheat products.
"People across the globe, especially in developing countries, rely on wheat as an essential part of their diet more than any other cereal crop," according to Olin Anderson, research leader with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and coordinator of wheat and barley ESTs for the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative.
"Better understanding of the wheat genome will greatly benefit ongoing research efforts and, ultimately, improve the nutritional value of such a vital component of the world's food supply. The DuPont EST donation is a valuable addition to GenBank because these specific ESTs were not previously represented."
During 2002, DuPont is celebrating its 200th year of scientific achievement and innovation – providing products and services that improve the lives of people everywhere. Based in Wilmington, DuPont delivers science-based solutions for markets that make a difference in people's lives in food and nutrition, health care, apparel, home and construction, electronics, and transportation.

Hi everyone!
I'm recently engaged and planning a summer 2015 wedding! My fiance and I are both "foodies" and one of our priorities is having great food at the reception. We're still trying to decide whether to go the catering or all inclusive route.
Anyone have any recommendations from personal experience (or places to avoid)?
Thanks so much!!

Sometimes I wonder what a cloud would taste like, as a cat, clinging onto a crimson balloon, drifted next to it. Sometimes I wish I could reach out and seize a bit of the slippery cerulean sky. I would make into a necktie decorated dusted with badgers or an apron speckled with apple pies. Sometimes I think about what my pet elephant would be like, with his wrinkled gray coat. I would christen him Sir Gryphon von Bismarck. Sometimes I dream about falling into the sky, climbing on iridescent rainbows, or playing catch with luminous stars atop sand dunes.
I believe in the power of imagination to heal, protect, and create. It is a doctor, a guardian, and a maker. However, no one event can pinpoint my admiration for that ability which all children possess and some once-children have lost, for I am a soul caught somewhere between the two viewpoints, struggling in limbo. Instead, my appreciation for the imagination stems from an age-old tradition: seeking solace in literature. Lewis Carroll first took me by the hand and led me into a world where a baffle stood between faith and reality. I devoured Alice in Wonderland, thrilled by the literary confection that strained the limits of imagination with talking caterpillars, insolent plants, and temperamental flamingoes.
In elementary school, I was the object of ridicule, my small stature provoking uncreative insults and unsolicited name-calling. I turned to my only arms: my books and my imagination. Having read A Little Princess at the time, I recalled Sara Crewe's imaginings of herself as a princess, despite the death of her father and subsequent poverty and misfortune. Following her example, I reinvented an image of myself after Sara – my chief tormenter was the vindictive Lavinia; a particularly acerbic teacher became Miss Minchin; my closest friends were the occasionally tiring but always loveable Ermengarde and Lottie. Each time someone tried to force me down, I smiled with the satisfaction of being able to slide in and out of a world where I was gracious royalty, secretly superior to my few, but spiteful peers. In this way, my imagination both protected and strengthened me and continues to do so today.
Samuel Coleridge once described an audience's duty to the arts as "the willing suspension of disbelief for the moment that constitutes poetic faith." The same philosophy may be applied to imagination, which does not serve as a reflection of truth, but rather its epiphany. I believe that imagining, be it in the form of planting candy canes or dreaming of conversational felines, is necessary to be whole and to appreciate the beauty in simple things. I believe in the necessity of the unbelievable.

As long as there are interrupted or missed calls around the world the subject of boosting the weak signal that is the cause of such inconvenient situations remains the "hotbed" of many heated discussions among both mobile providers and their subscribers. The United Kingdom is no exception and no matter how much coverage and signal of an exceptional quality the most famous mobile carriers of the country provide people with there are always going to be certain locations, especially rural ones where you will feel the need for mobile phone signal boosters.
There are mobile boosters designed for each of the major mobile carriers in the UK and EE is among them. So if you are having problems with your EE network connectivity then all you need to do is to acquire an EE signal booster. But before passing on to the topic of EE boosters, let's first get some idea about the EE mobile carrier and the reasons that cause its weak connectivity in the United Kingdom, which is received from Phonesignalboosters.co.uk website.
EE Phone Signal Boosters
When purchasing an EE phone signal booster you need to take a few important factors into consideration besides the mobile provider which in our case is EE:
- The Outside Signal: Depending on the signal you have outside the house or building you need the repeater i.e. whether this signal is weak or strong you might need boosters with different coverage capabilities.
- Area Size: This is a relevant issue as signal boosters come with certain sizes of coverage areas that might range from 100sqm to 2000sqm and more. No one wants to pay more for something they don't need so make sure you have measured the size of your house, office, apartment, car, boat or any other building you need a mobile phone signal booster installed in.
Diving in deeper into the topic of EE mobile signal boosters here are a few models designed for the EE mobile carrier to make your purchase much easier:
- Cell Phone Signal Booster Voice & 4G LTE: This cellular repeater is designed for EE mobile provider and can be set up in areas up to 150sqm. It will boost your signal up to 5 bars and is absolutely easy to install – a matter of 15 minutes. You will get the 5-bar signal the moment you switch the booster on. This booster works on 1800 MHz frequency range and is a great choice for apartments of medium size, offices and the like. The kit includes all the needed parts for a high quality mobile phone signal booster to perform without any malfuntions ensuring you have no more missed and interrupted calls. The reviews on this product are also very positive which proves its efficiency as well as popularity among customers.
- GSM & 4G LTE Mobile Booter: Here is another great option of a cell phone signal booster that can be used by the subscribers of EE mobile network operator. This signal booster is meant for areas of up to 150sqm and is perfect for apartments, small offices, little bars, cafes of medium size and other areas of the corresponding size. Boosting your weak EE signal with this phone signal booster you will forget about all the inconveniences you had to deal with as a result of dropped and interrupted calls. This mobile repeater supports 900/1800 MHz frequency and will ensure you get a 5-bar signal the moment you set it up and switch on by plugging it into the power supply. The kit includes all the parts required for a high-standard mobile phone signal booster which are a repeater, outdoor and indoor antennas, a power adapter and a 15-meter cable. What refers to the customer feedback on this mobile phone signal booster then it is absolutely positive and proves that the device is carrying out its ''mission'' perfectly.
These were just two simple example of cell phone repeaters designed for the EE network operator in the UK and are meant to guide you into the right direction during your purchase of a signal booster EE. They all come with a full kit that comprises all the parts a mobile phone signal booster should possess. Of course, you might stumble upon cheaper versions of signal boosters that lack, say, the external antenna, but we would not recommend you to pay for them if you are seeking high quality. Pay a little more and enjoy the strong connectivity for a long period of time.
Also, don't forget to buy a signal booster that comes with warranty and is officially certified in order to avoid any possible issues that people face because of buying boosters from unknown sources. Choose wisely and buy the best EE mobile phone signal booster UK that's out there. Stay connected and be in touch with everyone anywhere and anytime!

My Roller Derby League was having its first home team bout.
It had a theme of 'pirates of the caribeating'.
It's already really cold in the mountains so I wanted to wear something I would be warm in, as I had the role of penalty box captain so I would be sitting for the whole bout.
Then it struck me, what does every pirate need....
A parrot!!!
I search the shops for a parrot costume but I couldn't find anything, so I made my own.
I bought 2.5 metres of red polar fleece and started cutting.
I didnt use a pattern or any measurements.
I am pretty happy with the results.
It was a fun night but I don't think I'll be making more parrot suits any time soon, it wasn't hard but I feel like it was a fluke and if I was to try again it wouldn't work.
Ohh and I came second in the costume competition.

Even though your studies take up a lot of your time, we know that life is more than that.
Below we have gathered some information about what your social life in Denmark can look like as an international student at AU.
You can also find more information about socialising on our pages for current international students.
Studenterhus Aarhus is the house for all students in Aarhus. Here you can find a number of activities throughout the semester for international and Danish students, ranging from concerts to road trips to language classes to weekly international nights.
Some international students also sign up as a volunteer at the Studenterhus, which is a great way to meet other international and Danish students.
Studenterlauget strives to create the best possible social and professional opportunities for the students at Aarhus BSS. The organisation is non-profit and creates social and academic activities throughout the year.
Lærdansk is the language centre in Aarhus with great experience in organising Danish classes for international students from Aarhus University. The centre's offers are free of charge and the classes take place both in the afternoon or evening, and on Saturdays – in order to make the Danish education fit into your everyday life as a student. As a student at Lærdansk Aarhus, you'll be learning in an international and multicultural environment with people from all over the world who've also come here to study. You'll have the chance to create a big network by meeting your fellow colleagues from the other departments of Aarhus University.
Find out more about learning Danish at our pages for our current international students.
The city of Aarhus offers a variety of cultural experiences.
Each year the town hosts several festivals and concerts including Aarhus International Jazz Festival in July and Aarhus Festuge in September - the latter being the largest themed festival in Scandinavia.
Aros is the main art museum in Aarhus and one of the largest museums in Northern Europe. In the downstairs area visitors can enjoy the major special exhibitions, with the 'nine rooms' presenting international installation art. The large halls on the upper floors house the museum's own collections of art from the 19th century up to the present day. The museum also offers a restaurant at the top of the building as well as a café and a gift shop.
The Aarhus Theatre is worth a visit if only to take a look at its decorative facade and interior. Located near the Cathedral in the centre of town, it has five stages and its own theatre troop which gives performances from September to mid-June. The Aarhus Theatre gives students discounts on all performances - the tickets are half price for students. Remember your student id card.
You might also want to check out Musikhuset, the city's Concert Hall. A wide range of performances are presented all year round from international pop concerts to ballet to performances by the city's symphony orchestra. Sometimes there are free concerts and exhibits in the foyer.
In the winter there is normally also a skating rink outside in front of the Concert Hall. This is free to use.
Another option for musical entertainment is VoxHall on Vester Allé, which showcases music acts from around the world. A monthly program is distributed around the cafés in Aarhus.
For more information on activities and events in Aarhus, visit the official Aarhus website at www.visitaarhus.dk
Aarhus University Sports (AUS)
The AUS is open to all university students and organizes a wide range of activities, from badminton to fencing to chess.

Like many other university towns, Aarhus has a bustling nightlife. From Irish pubs to cocktail bars and jazz cafés, you can probably find a café or bar to fit your taste.
The 'Friday Bars' at the University are also very popular and a good opportunity for students, staff and professors to meet and enjoy a drink or two together. It started in the 1980s and is real tradition at Aarhus University.
The concept? Every Friday around midday, each department will set up a small bar in a canteen or a classroom where beer and soft drinks will be served until 6 p.m. Some bars also feature live music or incorporate themes.

PALM BEACH — When ``the season`` lasted two months, before Palm Beach was boarded up like a gilded ghost town, wealthy Northerners came to relax and play, and do little else.
And when about a dozen winter residents gathered to try to form a cultural society, generating interest proved difficult.
That was 50 years ago. From that tenuous start, the Society of the Four Arts was born.
Now celebrating its golden anniversary, the institution known for distinguished art, music, lectures and literature has twice as many members as its auditorium can hold and must turn away new members.
``There was a fellow who said no one in Palm Beach is interested in art, they only want to be on the beach sipping cocktails,`` recalled Olivia Morrish, one of two surviving members who founded the society on Jan. 14, 1936.
``I wish he could see it now.``
In honor of the 50th anniversary, a two-month exhibition of 115 American Masters paintings will be open to the public starting Feb. 15.
Baron and Baroness Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza of Switzerland, lending the works from their private collection, will fly here for a $250-a-couple black-tie benefit Feb. 15 for about 300 guests.
As the island`s season and permanent population have grown, so have the society`s facilities, offerings and interest throughout the area and beyond.
``It has become one of the important art institutions not only in the community, but the region, the state and country, because of its caliber,`` said Jim Houser, an art instructor at Palm Beach Junior College.
Houser is scheduled to speak Jan. 18 in conjunction with the society`s current exhibit of American Naive Art. The 60 primitive works, on loan from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., can be seen through Feb. 9.

WASHINGTON — The CIA takedown of an Al Qaeda plot to blow up a U.S.-bound airliner involved an international sting operation with a double agent tricking terrorists into handing over a prized possession: a new bomb purportedly designed to slip through airport security.
U.S. officials Tuesday described an operation in which Saudi Arabia's intelligence agency, working closely with the CIA, used an informant to pose as a would-be suicide bomber. His job was to persuade Al Qaeda bomb makers in Yemen to give him the bomb.
After weeks operating undercover in Yemen, the double agent arranged to deliver the device and a trove of vital intelligence to U.S. and other authorities waiting in another country, officials said. He is now safely out of Yemen.
Experts are analyzing the device at the FBI's bomb laboratory at Quantico, Va., to determine whether it could evade current security systems. Officials said it appears to have a more advanced triggering device than that of the so-called underwear bomb that fizzled instead of exploding aboard a packed passenger jet over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009.

''The Amish are coming.'' This call might be heard throughout rural sections of the northeastern United States. Although not widely publicized, the Older Order Amish are spreading in increasing numbers into areas where they have not previously been found. The impact of this movement is felt in realms beyond the religious. For the Amish are having an important revitalizing effect on rural economies in some poorer agricultural areas.
In the process, they are turning marginal and abandoned farms into productive economic units.
In short, the Amish are showing all Americans what can and should be done to reinvigorate rural America at a time when many experts are lamenting the loss of more and more farmland to shopping malls and housing projects.
The roots of the Older Order Amish in the United States are found in the adult baptism movement in 16th-century Europe. The Amish first emigrated to North America in the early 18th century. Today the core of their settlement areaextends from southeastern Pennsylvania into Ohio and Indiana, with outlying clusters in surrounding states. Combining large families and a high birth rate with a traditional settlement pattern that emphasizes low-population-density rural communities, means that the estimated 88,000 Amish in 550 settlements need to find room to expand.
The core of settlement, however, is in the heart of some of the most expensive agricultural land in the world. Thereforethe Amish are spreading to other less-costly locations in the northeast quadrant of the United States.
The development of two settlements in upstate New York illustrates the approach that the Amish are bringing to depressed agricultural areas.
These recent settlements are found in St. Lawrence County along the St. Lawrence River. Historically, this area has been an important agricultural region. However, farm consolidation and the mediocre quality of some of the land cultivated in the foothills of the Adirondacks, have led to a decrease in the number of individual farm units and a decline in agricultural activity on smaller farms. These farms, with land that is considered marginal for large operations, are often available for purchase at relatively low price. Many are in close proximity and these the Amish are buying.
The Amish came to St. Lawrence County in the early 1970s. By 1981 their population had grown to approximately 350 on 60 farms. The Amish increment represented more than the entire 1970s population increase for one town and more than half of the increase for a larger town. In addition, the Amish have established 25 businesses such as lumber milling, harness and leather working, blacksmithing, and hardware sales. The largest business is a cheese factory known as the ''community cheese house.'' The factory was built with pooled funds to provide a market for Amish dairies.
In spite of the pastoral ideal that the Amish represent for many, their experience is not one of simple rural bliss. When the Amish arrive on newly purchased farms they make the existing houses livable, but concentrate on getting the farms back into production. This is not the picture-postcard landscape of Lancaster County, Pa., where so many tourists generally come into contact with the Amish. This is a landscape of redeveloping marginal farmlands with lots of hard work and a lack of surplus time and resources. Tidying of the farmstead is clearly not a priority for theological and practical reasons.
The Amish model of rural redevelopment is, in part, a throwback to a previous time. However, it is not, as many seem to think, colonial agriculture. It utilizes many farm machines that would have been quite familiar in the early decades of this century. The biblical phrase ''Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers'' (II Corinthians 6:14) is the principle upon which many operational decisons are based. An attempt is made to keep themselves a people set apart from the ways of others. However, it can also be seen that turn-of-the-century equipment and methods are well suited to the smaller farms that the Amish tend to buy. They will adopt modern approaches in adapted form if it seems necessary and theologically sound. For instance, liquid fertilizaton and herbicide tanks can be seen mounted on horse-drawn wooden wagons.
Some 1.2 million farms nationwide fall into the same category in terms of annual sales (less than $5,000) as the marginal farms of St. Lawrence County. Small farms such as those taken over by the Amish in northern New York are found in many areas of the Northeast. The Amish are fitting themselves into this niche of less desirable and readily available farmland.
Although Amish movement into new areas can lead to adjustment problems - such as traffic being hindered by horse-drawn vehicles, and school boards having to respond to unusual requests - the overall effect of recent Amish settlement in depressed rural areas seems to be positive. In addition to economic stimulation, the morale-building potential of this redevelopment of underutilized agricultural land should not be overlooked.
As one non-Amish farmer put it, ''They aren't hurting the neighborhood.''

LEEDS, Alabama - While authorities try to determine the cause of a Leeds mobile home fire that claimed the life an 11-year-old girl, a relative of the man who lived in the trailer said she is haunted by what happened there Wednesday night.
"It was an inferno,'' said 72-year-old Bernice Seely. "It was just chaos."
The fire happened at a mobile home on Clayton Drive just after 10:30 p.m., according to the Jefferson County Coroner's Office. When firefighters arrived, the mobile home was well involved. Four people who lived inside - two adults and two children - were standing outside the burning trailer. They told firefighters a child was still missing.
Seely said her nephew lived in the trailer, one of many homes on the five acres of family-owned property. She said her nephew's girlfriend and her three children moved in not longer than a month ago.
About 10:30 p.m., one of those children - a pre-teen boy - ran to Seely's home seeking help. "The little boy knocked on the door and said to call the fire department," Seely said. "Last night was the first time I had met them."
After extinguishing the blaze, firefighters found the girl's body inside her bedroom. She was pronounced dead on the scene at 11:04 p.m., said Deputy Coroner Phillip Russell. Russell said it would likely be Monday before they confirmed the girl's identity through dental records.
The girl's mother and the mother's boyfriend were taken to UAB Hospital. Two other children who lived in the mobile home were taken to Children's of Alabama.
Seely said they had all been released from the hospital, and Leeds Police Chief Byron Jackson said they were staying with friends or family in Moody. Jackson said he believed the girl who perished had attended school in Moody.
The Leeds Fire Department and the Alabama State Fire Marshals, along with Leeds police, are investigating. They said it was too soon to say what sparked the blaze, or to say whether any criminal charges could follow. Processing the scene could take several days.
Seely said her nephew, his girlfriend and the children had been staying in an adjacent house that didn't have utilities. When temperatures plummeted this week, they began staying in an adjacent trailer just feet from the house. "It was not fit for children to live in,'' Seely said.
Despite her feelings, Seely said she had not alerted DHR or any other authorities about the conditions. "I regret that so much,'' she said.
Seely said she stood with other family members as the mobile home burned. She said it was emotional.
"My sister had died and left that to them,'' she said. "All I could see was her standing there crying about it."
Seely said she can't believe the death toll wasn't higher. "I went down and looked at that trailer and I tell you, I don't see how any of them got out,'' she said. "I'm just tore all to pieces about it."

California: State Senator Accused of Corruption
State Senator Leland Yee, who wrote gun-control legislation, asked for campaign donations in exchange for introducing an undercover F.B.I. agent to an arms trafficker, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday. The allegations were outlined in an F.B.I. affidavit accusing Mr. Yee, a Democrat, of conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms. He is also accused of accepting tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and cash payments to provide introductions, help a client get a contract and influence legislation. Mr. Yee discussed helping the agent get weapons worth $500,000 to $2.5 million, including shoulder fired automatic weapons and missiles, and took him through the entire process of getting them from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines to the United States, according to the affidavit. It said he was unhappy with his life and wanted to hide out in the Philippines. The affidavit said Mr. Yee, 65, sought to dig himself out of a $70,000 debt incurred during a failed 2001 San Francisco mayoral bid. He was released from custody Wednesday night.

Swiss Re to invest USD 500 million in infrastructure debt through Macquarie platform
28 November 2012, Zurich
- Commitment to invest USD 500 million into infrastructure debt in order to match long-term liabilities with long-term assets
- Macquarie awarded external mandate to manage investment
Swiss Re announces today that it will engage in long-term financing of infrastructure businesses and assets. For this purpose it has committed an initial USD 500 million for investments in senior secured debt of infrastructure businesses and assets located primarily in northern Europe.
Institutional investment in infrastructure businesses and assets is expected to rapidly grow in importance as traditional sources of financing in the European infrastructure market, lending by states, governments and banks, are increasingly scarce. Investments in infrastructure debt offer an alternative for long-term investments in other assets, such as government bonds where yields have been very low recently.
Klaus Weber, Managing Director and Head of External Investment Mandates of Swiss Re, said: "We expect the market to evolve substantially over the next few years and are excited to participate in this development. With its particular characteristics, infrastructure debt fits well with our asset and liability management approach and provides attractive long-term investments, well aligned with our balanced investment strategy."
For sourcing and managing the investments, Swiss Re has awarded a mandate to Macquarie Group, an Australia-based global financial services provider, following a rigorous due diligence process. The mandate is the first to be launched by the new Macquarie Infrastructure Debt Investment Solutions (MIDIS) business platform. MIDIS will deliver infrastructure debt investment opportunities to long-term institutional investors, underpinned by Macquarie's position as the world's leading infrastructure specialist.
"We are delighted to work with Macquarie in what is an important initiative for us and are confident it will give us access to high quality assets and deliver favourable risk adjusted returns," Weber commented.
James Wilson, Senior Managing Director and CEO of MIDIS, said: "The launch of the MIDIS platform will leverage Macquarie's unrivalled global infrastructure expertise and relationships and provide long-term investors the opportunity to access stable and superior risk adjusted returns. It is an asset class which lends itself well to insurance companies and pension funds seeking robust long-dated assets to match their long-term liabilities. We are delighted to work together with Swiss Re to manage its infrastructure debt investment and we look forward to a successful partnership."

Post subject: basically win it out. Its not easy to
INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey will not play in Saturdays playoff game at New England. Heyward-Bey did not practice all week because of a hamstring injury. Coach Chuck Pagano said Heyward-Bey was expected to miss at least a week and they signed former New England receiver Deion Branch to help fill the void. Starting safety LaRon Landry and backup linebacker Josh McNary are listed as probable. Both have been full participants in practice this week after being diagnosed with concussions in last weekends 45-44 victory over Kansas City in a wild-card game. Nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin, who got some extra rest this week, and offensive lineman Khaled Holmes, who hurt his calf, were the only other players on Fridays injury report. Both are listed as probable.
Patrick Sharp Jersey
. -- Cole De Vries had a couple of key strikeouts during what could have been the inning that doomed him to defeat against the Kansas City Royals, allowing him to escape further damage and keep the game tied up.
Brent Seabrook Jersey
.Mateo Kovacic and Andrea Ranocchia scored for Inter, which had goalkeeper Samir Handanovic to thank for several crucial saves.Its an important victory against a Chievo side which plays well, Mancini said.
Adam Lind provided the power and rookie starter Marcus Stroman had the best start of his young career as the Blue Jays dumped the Yankees 8-3 at Rogers Centre. Stroman, making his fifth start for Toronto, allowed one earned run and three hits over a career-high eight innings.
Nick Schmaltz Jersey
. It was well worth the wait. Manning and the Denver Broncos waited eight long months, then another 33 minutes to get the season started because of a lightning storm.
Steve Larmer Jersey
. The Kings paraded the Stanley Cup through downtown Los Angeles on Monday to celebrate their second NHL title in three seasons.PITTSBURGH -- Vance Worley is used to his body breaking down at this point in the season. An unexpected break allowed the Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander to regroup. He responded with his sharpest outing in two months to push the fading Milwaukee Brewers closer to an extended vacation of their own. Bumped from the starting rotation in favour of a seemingly healed Charlie Morton last week, Worley returned with eight sparkling innings in Sundays 1-0 win over the Brewers as the surging Pirates closed in on a second consecutive playoff berth. Russell Martin singled home Andrew McCutchen in the seventh inning and the Pirates trapped speedy Carlos Gomez in a rundown in the ninth for the win. Pittsburgh moved 4 1-2 games in front of Milwaukee for an NL wild-card spot with a week to go. Worley (8-4) scattered four hits and the Pirates used some smart fielding in the ninth to help All-Star setup man Tony Watson pick up his first save of the year. "I got the start off, got some time to get my feet back under me," Worley said. "This is the deepest Ive gone into the season the last couple years with injury, so this was good for me." Certainly looked like it. The Pirates sent Worley to the bullpen last week when Morton returned from a sports hernia. Morton pitched five shutout innings in a victory over the Red Sox only to have the hernia flare up late in his outing. Hes gone indefinitely and Worley is back in and probably not going anywhere after striking out five and not issuing a walk while throwing 63 of his 82 pitches for strikes. "Vance wasnt nitpicking," said Martin, his catcher. The Brewers -- who led the Pirates by 9 1-2 games in May -- dropped two of three in the series, scoring just three runs in 27 innings. They had a chance to send it to extra innings in the ninth only to run themselves into trouble. Gomez led off with a single against Watson, pressed into the closers role with Mark Melancon unavailable after working three straight games. Pinch-hitter Rickie Weeks beat out a chopper for an infield hit that squired out of first baseman Gaby Sanchezs glove. Gomez saw the ball pop out and started heading to third before suddenly pulling up. That led to a rundown that squelched the rally. "If I continued to run, it would have been really easy to make it to third because everybody broke for that ball and nobody was on third," Gomez said. "So I dont know why I stopped. Its just a mistake that you learn from." The Brewers are running out of time. Pittsburghs magic number dropped to three with seveen games remaining, scoring the games only run on Martins RBI single off Wily Peralta (16-11).dddddddddddd It was Martins second go-ahead hit in three days. He had a three-run homer in the eighth on Friday night to propel the Pirates to a 4-2 victory. This time he skipped the dramatics and opted for simple contact. McCutchen led off the seventh with an infield single, moved to third on a passed ball and a wild pitch and trotted home when Martin singled up the middle to extend his hitting streak to 12 games. "Whenever another team gives you an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it," Martin said. The Pirates improved to 51-30 at home, their best season at PNC Park since it opened in 2001 and their highest win total since going 53-28 at Three Rivers Stadium in 1992. They did it on a day they set a franchise record for single season attendance, topping 2.4 million on the year. "Its a blue-collar team," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Its a Pittsburgh team." One that sprinting toward the playoffs yet again after ending a record streak of 20 consecutive losing seasons in 2013. Peralta was every bit Worleys equal. Martins single was the first Pittsburgh hit to reach the outfield grass. Still, it wasnt quite enough as the Brewers fell to 2-13 in their last 15 road games. "It sure doesnt look good," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Theyre a good team, theyre playing well. You dont expect them to not play well here the last (seven) games. And weve got to basically win it out. Its not easy to do." UP NEXT Brewers: Milwaukee is off Monday and opens a three-game series at Cincinnati on Tuesday. Mike Fiers (6-3, 1.78 ERA) will make his ninth start of the season. Fiers allowed one run in seven innings against St. Louis last week. Pirates: Pittsburgh begins its season-ending seven-game road trip in Atlanta on Monday. Francisco Liriano (6-10, 3.45 ERA) has allowed three earned runs in his last five starts (33 innings). Liriano is 5-4 with a 2.39 ERA since returning from the disabled list in July. HOME SWEET HOME The Pirates recorded their 23rd sellout in Sundays finale to break club record for attendance in a single season, drawing 2,442,564. The team is 101-61 over the last two years at home. "Youve got 100 wins, it really is home sweet home," Hurdle said. "It has now become an event, not just something, Hey, we can do this. Youre marking your calendars, youre picking dates, youre swapping tickets, youre buying tickets. Youre moving things out of the way to make sure you get to this game."

Xfce 4 Xfapplet Plugin is a plugin for the Xfce 4 Panel which allows one to use applets designed for the Gnome Panel inside the Xfce Panel. You can think of XfApplet as a tiny Gnome Panel that lives inside the Xfce Panel and allows you to show the same applets that the Gnome Panel is capable of showing. The current stable version of the XfApplet Plugin has the following features: Most Gnome applets are supported. Basically the only exceptions are the Gnome Systray and Window List applets, which should be considered not very well supported. This should be fixed in the next stable version; The XfApplet properties dialog allows you to choose between all Gnome applets currently installed, just as the Gnome Panel does. The XfApplet context menu shows both the Xfce Panel related items (such as "Move", "Remove", "Customize Panel", etc.) and the Gnome applet ones, which of course will depend on the specific applet being displayed. Applets are displayed correctly in terms of layout, popup menus and other issues no matter the Xfce Panel specific configuration such as position (top, bottom, left or right side and floating) and size. By now you may be wondering: why would someone write XfApplet? The motivations for both starting and maintaining this project can be resumed as follows: Olivier Fourdan (Xfce project leader) was asked in his interview in FOSDEM 2005 about the possibility of integration between the Gnome Panel applets and the Xfce Panel. His answer stated that (by that time) the Xfce Panel did not support stand alone applets such as the Gnome Panel, but instead one could write a plugin for the Xfce Panel that was capable of showing Gnome applets. Software reusability is very common in FOSS projects, especially in code level. XfApplet allows for reusability in component level by linking against the Bonobo infra-structure and the Xfce Panel libraries. So there's no need to rewrite every single Gnome applet against Xfce libraries; all of them can be used out of the box from within both the Xfce and Gnome panels. Many new Xfce users come from Gnome or at least have a good Gnome experience. The possibility of using Gnome applets inside the Xfce Panel makes the experience of moving from Gnome to Xfce or even using both desktop environments easier. Usage: Using XfApplet is quite easy, specially because XfApplet itself doesn't have any special functionallity; its only purpose is to display Gnome applets. To learn how to use a specific Gnome applet you will have to refer to the applet's particular documentation. Assuming that you have properly built and installed XfApplet, you need only to right click the Xfce Panel and choose "Add New Item". You should find the XfApplet Plugin in the list of available plugins for the Xfce Panel. After adding XfApplet to the Xfce Panel (either by clicking "Add" or by drag and drop), you'll get an empty XfApplet. An empty XfApplet displays nothing but a small icon with the Xfce mice and the Gnome foot. Right click the icon and choose "Properties". This will open the XfApplet properties dialog where you will be able to choose any Gnome applet installed by either double clicking it or hitting "OK". At any time you can change the applet displayed through the XfApplet properties dialog. Each instance of XfApplet is capable of displaying only one Gnome applet; so if you want to display several applets you will have to add a XfApplet instance for each one of them..Gnome Panel - Xfce Panel - Xfce - Gnome - Panel - Plugin - Applets - Xfapplet - Tools - Desktop Environment

- n. The holding of a fund
- n. A former system of state funding of general practitioners in which they were allocated a budget for services by the local hospital
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Clarke experimented with variable prices when he introduced GP fundholding in the early 1990s.

As he will see, studies show that GP fundholding and practice-based commissioning delivered shorter waits and fewer referrals to hospitals for patients.
The sadness of all of this is that if the present Government had left GP fundholding in place (broadly similar to the system they are now 'introducing'), something which of course they couldn't as it had been brought in by the Tories (a sysyem that if one remembers we were told '' needed to get better''), we'd have got a much better results for our money.
"They are a natural conclusion of the GP commissioning role that began with fundholding in the 1990s and, more recently, of the previous government's agenda of GP polysystems and pratice-based commissioning," they said.
The mechanism was GP fundholding, which enabled local doctors to call the shots from the ground, rather than bigwigs from the centre.

GP fundholding was established by John Major's government in the 1990s.
The letter added: "They are a natural conclusion of the GP commissioning role that began with fundholding in the 1990s and, more recently, of the previous government's agenda of GP polysystems and practice-based commissioning."

Mr Cameron also criticised the BMA for opposing foundation hospitals, GP fundholding, and longer opening hours for GP surgeries.
Between 1991 and 1997 under previous fundholding arrangements GPs became better at allocating scarce NHS resources; they responded to incentives and referral rates amongst fundholding practices fell.
For example, admissions for elective procedures amongst fundholding practices were 3.3 percent lower than they would have otherwise had been.
