Sainsbury's has seen a 15 per cent rise in the number of customers buying clothing, as its fashion sales head towards the £700m barrier. The UK's third-biggest supermarket chain said 7.5 million shoppers had bought at least one fashion item in the past 12 months, 1 million more than a year ago.
James Brown, Sainsbury's clothing director, said: "Across clothing, shoppers [on average] will shop with us between four to five times a year."
The grocer introduced its Tu clothing in 2004 and the brand delivered sales of £680m last year.
Mr Brown said it is looking to increase the amount of clothes sourced from the UK, which currently stands at just 1 per cent.

Afrin! If you are one of those people who is blessed with normal sinus function, you don't know the lure of Lady Afrin. Because if you have a chronically messed-up schnozz, as do I, Afrin makes you feel normal.
A squirt up the ol' snotbox (as my dad calls it, poet that he is) and suddenly your sinuses are so clear you can smell the Tide at the laundromat three blocks away. It is a true miracle, a blessed amazing thing. It is like having an all-new nose.
But like all things that are too good to be true, it is.
Because if you use it too long Afrin begins to turn on you, and then your savior becomes your master - you end up in a never ending cycle of terrible snotbox congestion.
"Three days," intoned the pharmacist, glaring at me over the counter. He knew a potential addict when he saw one.
My old boyfriend Mojo's mom had a serious long-term Afrin addiction. I mean for years. She may still have it - it isn't something you want to bring up in polite conversation.
Back when there was only four-hour Afrin, she would wake up in the middle of the night to do her hits. If she made it four hours and ten minutes before she did her hit, she would feel proud of herself. She had an Afrin bottle within reach at all times.
So I am enjoying my three days of Perfect Snotbox Clarity. Then I go back to my normal semi-plugged self.
Some things are just too good to be of this world. I wonder if there is Afrin in heaven, where the Flying Spaghetti Monster lives? I hope so.

I was an Afrin junkie years and years ago. Kicking was horrible. It's like the worst stuffy nose ever multiplied by 10.
- IzzyMom said...
I just checked out the Flying Spaghetti Monster. lololol...I love it!
- Laura said...
They should make the first Afrin free.
Like heroin is. - 10:06 AM

Where can I get some of this free heroin everyone keeps telling me about?
- Mrs. Harridan said...
Oh, my god. I totally was the same as your old boyfriend's mom. I would wake up and sssnooorttt the Afrin, and I made a point of having it in my purse, desk drawer, AND night table.
Most recently, I got hooked on the Vicks spray that makes your nostrils all cool and mentholated. That shit is the BOMB. - 4:04 PM
- SUEB0B said...
Don't even tell me about the Vicks. I don't want to know!
Nice article...
I am, I mean I was an Afrin adicted... I am "clean" since last week; however, I am having the worst nights of my life... I can not sleep with my nose completely blocked!! I cannot breath!!
If there's anyone that had experienced these things and know what I should do in order to have better nights of sleep... please contact me at cavasotti at hotmail dot com...
thank you! - 12:14 AM

Tontine Asset Management Trims Its Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (IESC) Stake
In a recent 13D filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, activist hedge fund Tontine Asset Management, managed by Jeffrey Gendell, disclosed dumping around 4 million shares of Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:IESC). The hedge fund's updated stake in the infrastructure services provider now contains about 4.6 million shares, which at current prices, puts a value of $20.4 million on the position.
The sale looks interesting, especially when according to past 13F filings, we can see that the hedge fund has been holding its position unchanged for about two years now. It gets even more interesting amid a recent announcement made by Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:IESC). Last Friday, the company announced the completion of its acquisition of MISCOR Group, though it's tough to say if Tontine is bearish on the post-merger IES, per say.
Regardless of the reasoning, it's worth mentioning that Royce & Associates, managed by Chuck Royce, reported ownership of almost 1.5 million shares in the company last quarter. Other hedge fund bulls worth mentioning are Gregory Fraser, Rudolph Kluiber, Timothy Kroch's Grt Capital Partners, in addition to Jim Simons's Renaissance Technologies.

Richard and Colleen Grove
and "Blue"
The arrival of new neighbors is cause to rejoice. Some are long time Eagle Harbor vacationers, often members of Copper Country families. Others move here after only a few vsits. All attracted by the rugged beauty of Keweenaw, the ever changing moods of the Lake, and the advantages of life in a small close-knit community. Each bring a wealth of experiences and personal interests, adding to the richness of all our lives. All are welcomed.
My two young Milwaukee grandsons' eyes sparkled and big grins broke out when I told them that the Eagle Harbor Store - the" candy store" to them - would be open when they returned next summer. "Cool", they offered. That's pretty much as I felt when I first heard the good news. "The store", for decades the focal point of Harbor life for generations of Harbor families, was closed this summer as former storekeepers Patti and Bob Crampton searched diligently for a buyer who would agree to reopen this Harbor landmark. The disturbing prospect that the store, which proudly carries the banner, "This store was here before Lincoln was President", might never reopen loomed larger as the months dragged by. Then the great news. A young (everything is relative here) couple from Grand Marais, Michigan had purchased the property and would re-open it on May first of the coming year. Hurrah!!
Our new storekeepers are Richard (he says "Dick" works just as well) and Colleen Grove. They have devoted the last seven years to successfully owning and operating the Alverson's Motel in Grand Marais. Grand Marais is in many respects similar to Eagle Harbor - dominated by the adjacent big lake and a unique natural environment, off the beaten track, low key, and based on my several visits there on my sailing jaunts, populated by friendly people with strong ties to the area. Colleen says that's changing, as it is here, as more and more folks move into the area in search of a more satisfying lifestyle and the opportunity to enjoy the many blessings of living in close proximity to big waters and big woods.
So why would they leave a successful business in a community that is, in many respects, similar to that of their new home, Eagle Harbor, and assume the risk of operating a year-round store in a hamlet that hasn't enjoyed or supported such an enterprise for several decades? (Yes, they plan to be open at least eleven months each year.) Well, like many of us, there are deep family ties, and, like many of us, they were smitten by their first extended exposure to the lure of the Keweenaw.
Dick's dad, Clyde Grove, grew up in the canal cities and graduated from good old Hancock High. (There's wonderful story of Dick's dad wooing a young lady from Cleveland, proposing to her on Quincy Hill, marrying her, at which point Dorothy, Dick's mom, announced there was no way she would live in this wild country.) Sound familiar? That's why Dick grew up in Cleveland, where he met and married Colleen, whose family was never lured by the magic of Keweenaw. (Dick's uncle, by the way, is the Bob Grove of Hancock's Laurn-Grove Park, named after two young men who lost their lives in WWII.)
Fortunately for us, when Dick first returned to the Copper Country with new wife Colleen in tow, she unlike Dick's mom, was totally smitten by the wonder and beauty of this special place. (Colleen comes from good Irish stock, Dunn, so you know she's not easily swayed by the blarney of our tourism trumpeters.) It was 1977, and they stayed at the Lakeside Lodge on M-26. They have returned almost every year since, and a few years ago bought a camp at Agate Harbor. (Jim and Ruth Grant's place.) Colleen says, that from the very beginning of their return to Keweenaw, they knew that some day they would make this place their home. In fact, she says, part of the rational for purchasing at Agate was the desire to keep on top of business opportunities up here.
Dick is a self described "jack of all trades." He's sold insurance, hung wallpaper, and developed good credentials in a number of vocations. He's soft spoken and unassuming, but one quickly develops the impression that there is not much in life he couldn't handle with skill and grace. Colleen, more the extrovert, is by training and professional practice a graphic artist. She continues to pursue this vocation as time permits, and will do so at the Harbor. (Expect to see some of her skills on display as she overhauls the signage at the store.) Her enthusiasm for life and challenge is contagious. We're going to enjoy having these two as part of our Harbor family.
While they don't look old enough to make such a claim, they are, in fact, grandparents. Daughter Kim, 26, is a nursing student in Traverse City. Daughter Jennifer, 22, is married to Mike, a Grand Marais native and in the Air Force. Jennifer and Mike are enroute to a new assignment in Montana. (Why does MT have an air force?) Colleen and Dick are blessed with two grandchildren, Marya and Dominik. I'm certain that we will all have a chance to meet these kids and grandkids over the coming months.
Of course, what would life be like without the companionship of pets? The Groves come well equipped. "Blue", their beautiful Shetland Sheep dog, will certainly be a class act in a town where mutts prevail (except for Marilyn Marshall's pooches, Rich and Kelly's Tazo, and my late Abby), and Miss Kitty (or is it Ms. Kitty) their cat, will have few rivals. I knew the Groves were my kind of people when a few evenings after their Harbor arrival, I encountered Colleen tearfully driving slowly through the dark in search of Blue, who at age fifteen and a bit shorn of his sensory skills, had apparently wandered into the night of his new haunts and become lost. She later reported that after a restless night of worry, she looked out into the early dawn light to find Blue asleep on their neighbor's (Keith and Mid Willoughby's) back porch, apparently unable to find his way home. (That's OK, Blue, we've all shared that experience.)
Colleen and Dick are very cognizant and respectful of the heritage they have acquired. As I visited them to gather information for this article, they were pouring over a collection of old store photographs and ledgers, selecting those they plan to display in the store. They said that Anne Bach and Patti Crampton have been particularly helpful in providing this historical material. They have a wonderful photo of former storekeepers Clarence and Anne Bach (1970 - 1987), and are searching for photos of Mary and Rudy Franscisco (1949 - 1969), and Mike Smith of the Foley-Smith era (1859-1939). I have some nice photos of Patti and Bob Crampton (1991-2000) which will, hopefully, forever be a part of this planned recognition of our debt to those wonderful folks who have served as our Eagle Harbor storekeepers. (And let's not forget Claire Smith, who was our in-store postmistress foe several years.)
Dick and Colleen's purchase of the store and their exciting plans for operating it (year-round, fresh meats and vegetables, well stocked, off sale liquor and wine, reasonably prices, and yes, my grandchildren, penny candy [or is it nickel/dime now] - and more) will prove successful only if those of us who value having the old store remain open patronize it. When the store opens next May, let's do our part!
In the meantime, lets extend a warm welcome to Colleen and Dick, our new year-round neighbors and Eagle Harbor storekeepers.

I bought this item to use on my computer but it didn\'t work well because it is too quit despite enabling mic boost. It looks like these were designed to be used with video cameras and not computers.
My idea was to use these together with my full size Sennheiser headphones, instead wearing a headset. It turns out this isn\'t the right microphone for this purpose.

"Soapy" Water from hose
I have a long garden hose that I use to run water out to the
back of my property to provide a source of water for the garden. It's ~100' in length. I've noticed more so this year that when I fill up a water can from this hose in the garden, the water comes out very "bubbly", almost to the point of resembling soapy dish water. The water source is city water and comes out of faucet clean. Any ideas why this is occurring? Is it exclusively from the hose, or could the connecters (brass and aluminum Y-connectors) be part of the issue? Thanks for the insight! Lee

All the Googling I did suggests one or all of the following things:
Turbulence/oxygen in hose/water chemical leeching from the hose bacterial gas buildup in the pipes Most suggestions were to let it run a while, replace the hose, or run some bleach through the pipes to clear out bacteria buildup. Hope this helps!

If your water supply uses gaseous chlorine, then it's probably that. When the hose lays out there or hangs on a reel in the sun, the water heats up and the chlorine will come out of solution quickly. The city water here does the same thing and that's the answer I got from them. I'm not totally sold on that answer, but I have noticed that I see the bubbles more in the summer. I also see more from the hot water and rarely from the cold side.

I see lots of bubbly water from some of my hoses, too, and the local water is treated with chloramine, not chlorine.
fwiw, I don't recall seeing the bubbly water when I'm using a breaker-type nozzle, even if the water is almost boiling hot. But I do see it from a regular sprayer-type nozzle no matter what the water temperature. |

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
I hope to spend some time today to figure out a good solution, if one exists. Ideally, I should have had a "real" water pipe added and buried underground to provide a water source in the back of the lot near the garden. But alas, I've never had the time to "do it right". Thanks! Lee

If you figure it's the hose then you can buy drinking water safe or food grade hose. If you have a long run of hose it may be coming from just one piece of it.

Gummy Bear Graph.png - Section 1: Explore
Homecoming and the Five Pound Gummy Bear
Lesson 7 of 12
Objective: SWBAT investigate asymptotes and rational functions.
At the end of yesterday's ultramarathon lesson, students should have a good understanding about why the graph had an asymptote and why Lily will never get her average pace at or below 10 minutes. Yesterday was the first type of rational function, where the degree of numerator and denominator are the same. Today we are going to use different contexts to explore the other two types of rational functions.
Give groups of students the task worksheet and have them work on the two problems for about 15 minutes. The gummy bear task should be very straightforward; I think it will make a lot of sense why the asymptote for the function will be at y = 0 (Gummy Bear Graph). That's the upside of using these contexts to explore a topic that students usually find confusing – they have a conceptual understanding that can be transferred to a more efficient procedural understanding.
The homecoming example is a little more complex. Setting up the equation might be simple, but the graph will not be as intuitive to students because the slant asymptote. Hint: encourage students to use Desmos to graph this function instead of their graphing calculator; the end behavior and the asymptotes are much easier to see.
Resources (3)
Once students have had enough time to grapple with the problems, pick two students to share their graphs with the class. Talk about the contexts of the problems and why there are asymptotes. Define rational functions and get them to see that all of these functions can be written as fractions. Use the context to think about why the asymptotes are a necessary part of the graph.
Next, think about the algebra of each function's equation. Ask students what happens as you plug in larger and larger values for x. Here are the targets that I want my students to get to:
1. For the ultramarathon equation, guide them to see that the 13 in the numerator affects the y value less and less as x gets larger. For large values of x, the y value will be pretty close to 10.
2. For the gummy bear problem, the denominator is getting huge while the numerator stays at five. The overall value of y gets closer and closer to zero.
3. For the homecoming task, the last term of 500/x will basically become zero as x gets really large. So the first two terms are the only factors that affect ticket price. Note: make sure you show students the original graph AND the graph of the asymptote on the same coordinate plane. For something that can be confusing, this visual is extremely powerful!
Now we want to use our three contexts to classify the three types of rational functions based on the degree of their exponents. It will be helpful to rewrite the homecoming equation as a single fraction. Students may not gravitate towards the degrees of the numerator and denominator determining what type of asymptote there is, so it is okay to guide them there.
We have been focusing on the horizontal and slant asymptotes, so now would be a good time to think about why the vertical asymptotes are where they are. My students usually have a very good grasp of how to find vertical asymptotes, but you may need to have that conversation.
The Rational Function Summary Sheet can be used to formalize much of the work that we have done over the past two days. Here is a video that explains what I envision will go in the table to summarize our work with rational functions:
Finally, students can cement their knowledge by classifying the rational functions below the table and deciding what type of asymptote they should have. Since we have a context for each type of rational function, we can refer to them as ultramarathons, gummy bears, or homecomings. This will make the classifications into the three types a little more tangible for your students.

hello all. im new to the mustang scene and i have question i hope you guys can help me out with. i bought a 96 gt and the person who had it has some custom piping on it with no cats. i want to replace the cats with universal hi flow ones but i wanted to know if i need the ones with the 02 sensor hole or not . right now i think the 02 sensor is n the pipe itself. should the 02 sensor go in the converter or after the converter in the pipe? thanx in advance guys
On these cars the sensors go into a bung welded to the pipe before/after the cats. A high-flow cat of the correct pipe diameter is all you need. The existing bung(s) should work fine where they are.
Ok so there are two o2sensors right? One for each side ? And which do they go before or after the cat?
There are four sensors, two on each side. The catalytic converter(s) lie between them. The upstream (front) sensors are used by the PCM to measure the exhaust gas before its chemical makeup is altered by the cats and this info is used to trim fuel delivery. The downstream (rear) sensors are used by the PCM to check if the cats are operating properly. You need to preserve the location of the four bungs when installing the cats on each bank.
Ok I just spoke to the previous owner and he said there were two sensors eliminated and then some special bungs put in to prevent the o2sensor from going all the way into the pipe. Anyone ever heard of this?
The sensors are almost certain still there and not "eliminated." He may have been referring to the use of "MIL eliminators" which are electrical filters put between the sensor the PCM harness. It may also mean that the rear O2 sensor codes were disabled by the use of a tuner. The use of a spacer on the rear O2 sensor is essentially an "analog" filter. The spacer creates a little cavity in the side of the pipe in which a bubble of exhaust gas circulates, being changed out more slowly than the main stream of exhaust passing by. This tends to present a more constant exhaust gas chemistry to the sensor to its output is "steadier" and thus has a better chance of being construed as normal to the PCM.

Some of the reasons to establish a Faculty Senate would include:
The Faculty Senate will address issues common to all Faculty irrespective of the School. Each school has equal representation (three Senators from each School selected by the mechanism afforded by that School�s governance) and any action taken by the Senate must be approved by at least one Senator from each School.
Each School can select their Senators from any of their campuses.
There are large differences in faculty composition among the Schools in terms of number of senior faculty, distribution in rank, number tenured, etc. Therefore, the guideline qualifications are written so as not to limit the choices within any School.
This represents a workable size in terms of obtaining a quorum at meetings and effectively conducting business. As the activity of the Faculty Senate grows, mechanisms are in place to expand the number if needed.
They can volunteer to serve on Faculty Senate committees and submit suggestions and requests for consideration by the Faculty Senate of specific issues.
Meeting Agendas, Minutes and issues under discussion will be posted on the Faculty Senate webpage.
Several standard committees were listed in early versions of the Bylaws but were removed based on comments from various Faculty. The mechanism exists for the Faculty Senate to form additional ad hoc or standing committees as needed. Possible examples would include Benefits, Review of Regents� Rules, etc. The Library Committee as currently constituted contains members from all schools.
A major purpose is to promote interaction among faculty from the different Schools. Further, it is anticipated that the President would make a State of the Institution presentation at one and the Faculty Awards presentations would be made at the other. Additional meetings can be called for discussion of issues that affect all of the HSC Faculty.
Information Technology has developed a secure voting system in which an email is sent to each Faculty member in each School and a confidential vote is recorded when a reply is sent to that email. The votes will be tallied electronically by Information Technology.
All the faculty in this school have their primary appointments in either the School of Medicine or the School of Pharmacy and will have their representation through those schools.

I am having a TT w lipo on the 29th of June but once that is done, I am wanting to know if I would be better off having a BBL or would lipo be enough to give my bottom a sexy shape? I am not looking for BIG butt. I don't want to be stuck wearing jeggings for the rest of my life, I just want a sexy shape, ( if I need some size to get that I am ok with that, but just SIZE is not goal) I am also in need of a ps who can give me that butt i want, im in the SC area. Thank you
Would I Be Better off Having a BBL or Would Lipo Be Enough to Give my Bottom a Sexy Shape? (photo)
Doctor Answers 6
Additional volume to your buttocks is not a critical component of your overall shape based on what you have written and your photos, however, you will likely be happiest with liposuction of the surrounding areas and then a small amount of fat volume addition to the buttocks area just to make it that much closer to the ideal shape and size. You are a great candidate for a Brazilian Buttock lift and would not take too much effort to get you to a very ideal buttock size and shape.
All the best,

You may be a good candidate to have some fat inejcted into your buttocks to smoothen it out a bit while you are having a tummy tuck. Good luck.
You sound that an increase in the Butt size is not your goal. Removing fat from the love handles and lower back can enhance the buttocks significanly. You need to discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon. Computer immaging to show you how the buttocks will look with liposuction alone and with liposuction and some fat transfer will look, then you choose. The ultimate decision is yours.

Hello. The combination of liposuction and fat graft, or liposuction alone to improve the shape of your buttocks depends on how much projection of your buttocks you would like. Liposuction or liposculpture to the back is the key to the Brazilian Butt Lift. The fat injected increases the shape, but it is mainly done to increase projection. Liposuction not only allows the removal of fat from the torso and flanks, but also allows the surgeon to shape the stomach and sides to frame the buttocks, these two procedures shoud be enough to give you that sexy shape. If you wish to increase the size of the buttocks as well you should think about Brazilian Butt Lift. This is an issue that you will want to discuss with your surgeon prior to the surgery so that you both know exactly what will be taking place.

Though the posted photos leave much to be desired you are a candidate for combination of lipo with fat transfer. Best to seek in person evaluations.
This is irresponsible on your part if you never broached the subject with your surgeon and your surgery is only a day or 2 away. This is all best done at the same operation and fully discussed with your surgeon well before the day of surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Maria Gloria Macaraeg Macapagal-Arroyo is the fourteenth and current president of the Philippines. She is the country's second female president, and the daughter of former President Diosdado Macapagal.
A professor of economics, Arroyo entered government in 1987, serving as assistant secretary and undersecretary of the Department of Trade and Industry upon the invitation of President Corazon Aquino. After serving as a senator from 1992 to 1998, she was elected to the vice presidency under President Joseph Estrada, despite having run on an opposing ticket. After Estrada was accused of corruption, she resigned her cabinet position as Secretary of Social Welfare and Development and joined the growing opposition to the president, who faced impeachment. Estrada was soon forced from office by peaceful street demonstrations, and Arroyo was subsequently sworn into the presidency on January 20, 2001. She was elected to a full six-year presidential term in her own right and was sworn in June 30, 2004.

Phoenix Voters Defeat Pension Cut Initiative
by David Card | November 10, 2014
Phoenix voters last week emphatically rejected a billionaire-backed ballot initiative that would have replaced city workers' pensions with risky 401(k) style plans.
Supporters of the measure called Proposition 487 sought to close the existing defined-benefit plan to newly hired workers and force them to shoulder a greater share of the cost of a private investment plan. Voters defeated the measure 56.5 percent to 43.5 percent.
"Residents, community groups and front-line employees voted no on Prop 487 and sent a clear message to outside interest groups that it is the wrong pension reform, wrong for public safety and wrong for taxpayers," said Luis Schmidt, president of Local 2384. "Despite efforts from dark money organizations to confuse Phoenix taxpayers and deprive workers of their hard-earned retirement security, voters protected the promise for employees to retiree with dignity."
"We are thrilled that voters stood with city workers and recognized the harm Prop 487 would do to Phoenix," said Frank Piccioli, president of Local 2960. "This victory should serve as a warning to those selfish interests who are seeking to undermine the retirement security of public workers across the country."
Texas hedge fund billionaire and former Enron executive John Arnold played the role of Rich Uncle Pennybags, donating more than $1 million to fund the anti-worker campaign. Arnold is a major contributor to the so-called Liberty Initiative Fund, which poured millions of dollars of dark money into similar measures in Tucson and Cincinnati last year. Both failed to pass.
A broad coalition of pension advocates that included Phoenix firefighters, police officers, AFSCME Locals 2384 and 2960 and their allies came together to fight the measure. They went door to door in the months leading up to Election Day and planned an extensive get-out-the vote effort for Tuesday, Nov. 4.
AFSCME Sec.-Treas. Laura Reyes was in Phoenix on Saturday before Election Day to lead a neighborhood canvass and talk to voters about why Prop 487 was bad for the community.
"The extremists don't share our belief that after a lifetime of working hard and playing by the rules, we all deserve to live out our years with the dignity and respect that comes from a secure retirement," Secretary-Treasurer Reyes told a group of volunteer canvassers. "This election is an opportunity for all of us to stand up and say, 'Today I'm voting for what matters to me and my family.'"

Evan Davis is to replace Jeremy Paxman as the next Newsnight host, but this morning's announcement has not gone as swimmingly as BBC Two producers might have hoped.
Despite being hailed as an "outstanding journalist" by BBC director general Tony Hall, many viewers took to Twitter to lambast the broadcaster's decision to hire Davis and question whether his interviewing style is strong enough to keep hardened politicians on their toes.
Not everyone was against Davis stepping up to the job, however, with plenty of fans sending their congratulations to the openly gay Dragons' Den and Radio 4 Today presenter.
Davis himself has spoken about his new appointment, calling it a "scary prospect" that will be "an adventure and a challenge".
"How could I turn down the offer of this role on Newsnight, treading in the footsteps of some of the best television presenters in the business?" he said. As it turns out, a lot of people wish that he had.
@IndyArts @Independent why replace paxo with dobby from Harry potter?

Evan Davis presenting Newsnight eh. I guess we can look forward to pointlessly aggressive questions & barely concealed smirking then. Yay.
— Mat Burt (@batmurt) July 21, 2014
Some tweets drew attention to Davis' controversial dedication to the Today show during the BBC strike over employees' pensions in 2010.
Davis and his co-presenter Sarah Montague ignored a 48-hour journalists' walkout, arriving at 3.30am before their striking colleagues had a chance to stop them.

Evan Davis to replace Jeremy Paxman on #Newsnight http://t.co/IDFZ8IZ4Bz I really like Evan. But is he stern enough for this role?

@iankatz1000 @EvanHD I'm surprised he beat Paxman to being the nicest. Thought he was all sunshine and rainbows

Evan David is a lovely chap, but an apt replacement for the vicious Paxman? Doubtful.

Then there are the Davis supporters, convinced that he will "surprised the doubters".
Congrats to @EvanHD on the Newsnight role - great appointment

Very good to have in @EvanHD @BBCNewsnight someone who will take numbers & statistics seriously rather than be baffled by them

A change in direction is what #Newsnight needs+ @EvanHD will make a fine replacement for Paxman. He'll surprise the doubters. Good decision.

Warm congrats to @EvanHD -- the BBC could hardly have picked a smarter, more engaged or more likeable Newsnight anchor.

Great news that @EvanHD will take over from Jeremy Paxman on #Newsnight. Well done #BBC for not picking a #Paxman clone and congrats Evan!

Paxman's final Newsnight aired on 18 June, ending his time as main presenter for more than 20 years. Davis, 52, will present the programme three nights a week from this autumn, with the existing team remaining.
