Chelsea fear worst for Van Ginkel
Chelsea will today count the cost of their Capital One Cup triumph over Swindon as they assess a potentially serious knee injury to Marco van Ginkel and also a hip problem for Ramires.
Jose Mourinho's side overcame their Sky Bet League One hosts 2-0 at the County Ground but the night was tinged with disappointment.
Van Ginkel - making only his second Blues start following a summer switch from Vitesse Arnhem - went down after an early challenge from Town midfielder Alex Pritchard and, despite briefly trying to carry on, soon hobbled off in the 10th minute.
He was replaced by fellow midfielder Ramires, who added to Fernando Torres' opener with Chelsea's second goal of the night, before then being forced off himself at half-time.
But it is Van Ginkel's injury which is providing the greater concern.
Assistant first-team coach Steve Holland said: "We've got an injury to Marco which, it's a little bit too early to be certain but it doesn't look good.
"He'll have a scan on Wednesday on an injury to his knee. It's too early to say (if it's a bad one) but let's hope that's not the case. It didn't look good as he came off so early in the game. We'll have to see the results of the scan, we'll know more on Wednesday.
"And his substitute, Ramires, also had to go off with a muscular injury at the top of his hip which was causing him more discomfort as he tried to run it off. He'll be a major doubt for Saturday at Tottenham, not out for sure yet, but a major doubt.
"They're the two disappointments of the evening."
Swindon put up brave resistance against top-flight opposition and could be proud of their efforts, with Dany N'Guessan seeing a header correctly ruled marginally offside just after the break.
The Robins now return to league action and an assault on promotion under boss Mark Cooper, who has only been in the job on a permanent basis for a month after initially arriving as assistant manager before then taking the caretaker reins over the summer.
In the build-up to the cup tie Cooper admitted he was hoping to pick the brains of respected Chelsea boss Mourinho after the clash, but he revealed he did not get the opportunity to do so.
"He just said 'well played, your team played well and best of luck for the season'," Cooper said.
"I know he's got a million people pestering him before the game, at half-time and after the game. I completely understand."

Beautiful, correctly applied makeup always emphasizes the dignity of a woman. Makes her image more attractive, elegant, individual. The ability to use brushes and master the technique of applying makeup brush organizer for a girl is very important. Because the right makeup brush organizer also helps to hide flaws on the face. Also, in addition to the daily light makeup, it is important to learn how to make evening makeup. Since there is not always time or money to go to a beauty salon before the event. And the ability to give elegance to your image will help you look more attractive.
What are the types of makeup brush organizer?
The most common type of makeup brush organizer is daily. You do it every day, going to work, school or just for a walk in the park. This makeup brush organizer should not be too bright and eye-catching. Here gentle shades are allowed. A separate art is evening makeup. There are so many varieties of this makeup brush organizer. It should be chosen for your image, outfit, and depending on the event itself. Also, wedding makeup is different from others. It should not be very catchy and bright. Usually, the makeup brush organizer of the bride make gentle, warm colors.
How to learn to apply makeup brush organizer correctly?
In order to master the technique of applying makeup brush organizer, you can attend courses with makeup artists or watch video tutorials on the Internet. If you attend courses, a professional will show you how to use brushes correctly, which brushes are best to choose. He will also tell you what shades, tone, colors are better to use and for what occasion. The choice of colors in the palette is always individual. It depends on your skin tone, eye color. Courses for make-up artists are usually divided into separate lessons on everyday makeup brush organizer, separate evening ones. You can choose one thing, or you can complete the entire course.
What are the features of applying makeup brush organizer?
Makeup is primarily highlighting and emphasizing your merits. Features of makeup brush organizer are that it is strictly individual. For example, for a blonde with blue eyes is unlikely to fit that set of shadows, as for the brown-haired woman with brown eye color. Always pay attention to this. Also it is worth paying special attention to eyebrows and their natural color. If your hair is light brown, then you definitely should not make your eyebrows black. Even when you apply bright makeup brush organizer, it should still look natural. The color of lipstick should fit your clothes, image. For example, if you have a pale face and small lips, then you should not paint them with delicate tones. On the contrary, you should make them more expressive. In the make-up technique a lot of subtleties, but they are all personal.

Morocco's economy will grow at a rate of 7.2 percent during 2001, with the agricultural GDP climbing at a rate of 30 percent and growth in GDP for non-agricultural sectors equaling 4.5 percent, reported Morocco's Board of Statistics.
The healthy growth projected for the current year comes in the wake of only 0.3 percent in 2000, which was caused mainly by a 16.7 percent fall in agricultural GDP, and a moderate 2.8 percent growth in non-agricultural GDP.
Exports and imports, excluding tourism, grew by 14.7 and 8.7 percent respectively during 2000. Industrial production increased by 3.5 percent in 2001, compared to 2.4 percent in 1999, reported Morocco's General Economic Policy Board (DPEG).
The Board attributed the increase to the food, textile and leather industries, whose production rose by 5.2 percent and 0.7 percent respectively. The DPEG predicted that industrial activity would rise by 4.6 percent in the first quarter of 2001, compared to 4.1 percent in the same period last year. — (Albawaba-MEBG)

I am loving having Halloween themes to work with! Today Ethan is having a bat-themed lunch. This ended up being quite appropriate in more ways than one, for this morning Ethan was driving me completely batty. But that's another story.
Halloween bento lunch:
In the top section there are strawberries on bat picks, a few grapes, baby carrots and another icky Halloween treat - gummy vampire teeth.
The bottom section holds grilled chicken cubes, cheddar cheese bats and a couple pieces of homemade bat-shaped garlic croutons. Get it? Garlic croutons? Vampire teeth? Bats? Tee-hee! Halloween is so fun. :)
The croutons turned out super cute!
This bento is packed in our stainless steel Lunchbots Duo box! Even the orange lid of the Duo is Halloweeny. ;-)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT's heavyweight and lightweight crews split the nation's top weekly rowing honor as each team's varsity eight was named row2k Crew of the Week.
The Engineers knocked off a pair of EARC opponents to provide further testimony of the program's rise among the elite intercollegiate teams in the country. The heavyweights stunned No. 12 Boston University while the lightweights dropped No. 10 Penn. The victory for the lightweights actually moved the squad inside the top 10 in the latest EARC poll (No. 9).
Row2k received several nominations for each crew after the terrific results and no one knew exactly when the last time MIT had defeated their respective opponent other than it had been a "very long time" for each. The website did receive one response stating that the last MIT heavyweight victory over BU occured in the petite finals of the 1993 IRA.

Sequencing project will map DNA of up to 100,000 patients
A new £100m project will map the DNA of up to 100,000 patients with cancer and other rare diseases.
The large-scale mapping initiative will take place in England over the next three to five years and is intended to lay the foundations for a revolution in NHS treatment.
The genetic data will help researchers to develop new drugs and tests that could help save thousands of lives.
Britain should "push the boundaries" and become the first country to introduce genetic sequencing to its mainstream health service, according to the prime minister David Cameron.
He said: "Britain has often led the world in scientific breakthroughs and medical innovations, from the first CT scan and test-tube baby through to decoding DNA. By unlocking the power of DNA data, the NHS will lead the global race for better tests, better drugs and above all better care.We are turning an important scientific breakthrough into a potentially life-saving reality for NHS patients across the country."
He added: "If we get this right, we could transform how we diagnose and treat our most complex diseases not only here but across the world, while enabling our best scientists to discover the next wonder drug or breakthrough technology."
Dr Harpal Kumar, Cancer Research UK's chief executive, welcomed the plans: "This work will uncover a wealth of new information which doctors and scientists will use to learn more about the biology of the disease and to develop new ways to prevent, diagnose and effectively treat cancer.
"We're very excited about personalised medicine - some targeted treatments, such as imatinib, a drug for chronic myeloid leukaemia are already helping to treat patients more effectively - and we're working hard, with many others - to develop new treatments, and to ensure the NHS can effectively deliver a more personalised cancer treatment service."
He added: "We hope that this vital investment, together with other measures, such as continued support to diagnose cancers earlier, when treatment is more likely to be successful, will be an important step towards saving more lives from cancer, sooner.
"But, it will be some time before everyone with the disease will be able to have treatment based on the genetic make-up of their cancer."
The NHS already analyses single genes in cancer tests to determine the chances of particular patients having side-effects from treatment.
Professor Dame Sally Davies, the government's chief medical officer, explained: "At the moment, these tests focus on diseases caused by changes in a single gene.
"This funding opens up the possibility of being able to look at the three billion DNA pieces in each of us so we can get a greater understanding of the complex relationship between our genes and lifestyle."
The £100m earmarked from the project, which stems from existing NHS budgets, will be spent on training genetic scientists, mapping patients's DNA, and creating systems for handling the information.
The Human Genome Project, which made an initial 'rough draft' of the human genetic sequence in 2011, cost approximately £500m.
But technological advances have cut costs dramatically, meaning the procedure can now be performed for under £1,000 per person, and officials believe the new £100m DNA mapping investment could reduce prices further still.
All patients will be asked for permission before their DNA is sequenced, with all subsequent data anonymised before it is stored.
Alongside the DNA mapping announcement, the government also allocated £100m of new science funding in the Autumn Statement to the life sciences sector.
The money will help build research capabilities for synthetic biology, facilities for manufacturing cell and biological medicines such as antibodies and vaccines.
Science minister David Willetts said: "Life sciences is one of the most truly international sectors - so if we are to continue to be a world player and compete in the global race we must do everything we can to support it.
"In the past year, our initiatives have attracted more than £1 billion of private sector investment to the UK. We can see clear evidence the UK is succeeding in creating the right environment to attract global investment to our shores and continue to be world leader in life sciences."

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass.—For the second consecutive season UMass Boston shocked UMass Dartmouth, as Ryan McGoff (Charlestown, Mass.) scored with seven second to go in overtime, to lift the Beacons to an 8-7 victory over the Corsairs Saturday afternoon at Cressy Field.
McGoff took a terrific feed from Donny Delpha (Walpole, Mass.) down low and sent a high shot over the shoulder of Nick Thayer to earn the Beacons their first Little East Conference victory of the season. With the win, UMB picked up their first two-game winning streak of the year and moved to 4-9 overall, 1-2 in Little East play, while UMass Dartmouth fell to 8-2, 2-1 in conference action.
McGoff was one of just four UMB players to score on the day, as Dom Fichera (Scituate, Mass.) carried the Beacons offense with a career-high five goals, scoring on every shot he took on the afternoon. After scoring just eight goals in the team's first 12 games, Fichera found the back of the net in every quarter and tied or gave UMB a lead with four of his five tallies.
Thomas Pettiti (Quincy, Mass.) and Delpha added the final two UMass Boston strikes, as the Beacons were outshot 41-21 on the afternoon.
Senior captain Henry Bristol (South Hadley, Mass.) was more than up to the task in net, making 15 stops, including two huge saves in the five-minute extra session. Bristol also recorded a game-high 10 ground balls as UMass Boston moved to 10-7 all-time against their in-state rivals.
The Beacons despite being outshot by the Corsairs, made every opportunity they had count as the defense led by Bristol did their part. The two teams were identical in goals through all four quarters, with Pettiti starting off the afternoon with his first man-down goal of the year at 5:25 of the first. Fichera notched his first of five tallies less than two minutes later to put UMB up 2-0. The Corsairs did respond with a pair of their own.
After the first break, the Beacons attack was taken over by Fichera who scored the next three Beacons goals, starting with his first of the second at the 12:40 mark. UMD responded with two goals of-their-own, but Fichera closed out the second with his third goal of the contest.
In the third, Fichera would once again strike to put UMB out in front. Adam Niden, who finished with three goals for Dartmouth, evened the score at 5-5 with the last goal of the third. In the fourth, Niden struck first, but with goals from Delpha and Fichera the Beacons retook the lead with just over six to play in the contest. Connor Gaffney would tie the score at 7-7 at the 4:36 mark, setting up what would be a wild overtime period. Through the five minute sudden death period, Bristol would come-up huge with a pair of saves, while his Corsairs counterpart Nick Thayer made one stop in the OT, before surrendering the game-winner from McGoff.
On the day, UMass Dartmouth outshout the Beacons attack 41-21. They also led the contest in groundballs coming up with 47, while UMB managed 36. The clear attempts were almost even with UMD earning one more successful clear than the Beacons (18-17).
Lacrosse returns to action on Wednesday when they travel to Keene State College for a 4 p.m. Little East Conference contest.

So much news passes before our collective eyes every day that we couldn't possibly cover it all. Mostly because much of it isn't worth covering! But here are a some borderline tidbits we passed on, just in case.
The Lumia 900's Already Having Some Issues
You big beautiful phone, why'd you have to go and have data connection issues? Why? Because nothing in this world is perfect, that's why. Not that the Lumia 900 would be perfect if it didn't have this newfound bug, because honestly any perfection would have to involve bacon and this has no bacon. It's a phone. [Electronista]
Trombone Chandelier: Because Nobody Could Find a Tuba
I posit this: only exceptionally boring rich people buy inventive chandeliers, because they need something to talk about at dinner other than the salmon. [Delightfull]
Idiot Criminal Broadcasts Exploits on Facebook
Travis Nicolaysen is an idiot on Facebook, which wouldn't be much new, except that he's also on the run from the law, which also wouldn't be much new, except that he's attracted a few other Facebook idiots to his page to cheer him on, which honestly people he's not a sports team or a group of cancer researchers, he's just an idiot.

Left Behind is our daily collection of chaff we didn't think was quite good enough to post on its own, and why.

Sharon O'Day
After 30 years as an international businesswoman (primarily in Europe, Mexico, Central and South America), it's time to create an identity for myself online.
As a new (ad)venture, I will be taking all the finance, strategic planning and 'life' expertise I've gathered and offering it as advice to people who have personal issues with money and need a 'mindset adjustment' so they can move ahead. Or pick up the pieces after job loss. Or reinvent their retirement after portfolios were wiped out by the world economic crisis.
While my programs and services will not be exclusively for women, women tend to have a specific set of problems I can address most credibly. So the target will be both genders, with a tilt towards women.
Target age: 40-60, so nothing cute. Demographic: fairly well educated and highly motivated. We will be identifying and dealing with some very private issues after building a level of trust, primarily through blogging and videos.
This is not one-on-one coaching, but rather a less edgy online Suze Orman.
Design must imply:
- Strength
- Credibility
- Trust
- Approachability
- Likeability
Please note my last name (we Irish are very particular about our apostrophes): capital O, then apostrophe, then capital D
The name branding will be used on a website, twitter page, YouTube channel and all other internet-based vehicles.
My design preferences lean towards clean, crisp and sophisticated.

We have food pantries all over the state. Why not furniture pantries?
Bruce Michalec's bank needs a new vault. Deposits are bigger than ever in the three months since Anne Arundel County Food & Resources Bank merged with the Maryland Food Bank. Soon, all the food will crowd out the resources.
Michalec founded a food bank for Anne Arundel County in 1985. Soon, need and opportunity combined to bring other resources like furniture and medical supplies into the bank.
"Every time I give away a bed or a wheelchair," Michalec reasoned, "it was like giving them food because they would have been using food money to buy it otherwise."
Twenty-nine years later, Anne Arundel County Food & Resources Bank is still the only free, one-stop shop for food, nutritional supplements, medical equipment, furniture, vehicles, appliances and more for Marylanders in need.
Last year, after 28 years of flying solo, Michalec determined partnership would bring in new resources.
He turned to the Maryland Food Bank, founded in 1979, which works with the national Feeding America program to bring needed food to 21 Maryland counties. In 2013, the Maryland Food Bank delivered 29 million meals.
The Anne Arundel and Maryland food banks have cooperated on statewide food drives and other projects for years. Now their relationship is formal, making the Anne Arundel Food Bank one of the Maryland Food Bank's Regional Redistribution Organizations.
"I see it as an opportunity to give people better food service and better food products," Michalec says.
An immediate benefit is donations from stores affiliated with Feeding America.
In January 2014, almost 12,000 pounds of food poured in from four Targets and one super Walmart, all new sources.
Those extra pounds are worth just under $20,000, according to assistant manager Susan Thomas.
The food bank now receives more fresh produce, frozen foods and some novelties: high-end items like cereal, breakfast bars, individually wrapped snacks and meats. Personal hygiene products, pet food and cleaning supplies are also among the new donations.
"Hopefully, we will be able to start getting more non-food items, too," says Thomas. Of particular need are over-the-counter medicines to stock on-site treatment centers.
Suppliers will eventually include all Anne Arundel County Target stores, Sam's Clubs and Walmarts.
Much More of a Good Thing
Now the Anne Arundel County Food Bank and its member agencies are juggling much more of a good thing.
A new driver and warehouse manager help maintain the inventory in the now-full 30,000-square-foot bank at Crownsville Hospital Center.
Bounty creates a whole new wish list.
At the top of the list are volunteer drivers for the small fleet of four trucks.
The 120 or so member agencies that receive and distribute food also need to adapt by adding more trucks, storage and refrigeration space.
"Pantries have to convert their programs to suit the abundance of food," says Thomas. "But that's a good problem to have." The food bank has already passed along a few freezers.
Thomas plans more distribution partnerships, especially with programs that feed kids and seniors.
"We will be serving more communities and making it easier for people to get to distribution areas, especially for people without transportation," she says.
Food is in short supply for some 43,000 people in Anne Arundel County.
The Next Expansion
More food to feed more people is one aspect of Michalec's long-term plan. His next goal is expanding his furniture operation.
"I wanted to break the furniture and food storage away from each other," he says.
Partnership with the Maryland Food Bank guaranteed enough food to fill all the space he could give it.
Today's crowding makes new space more pressing than ever. Needed is another building — or two — for a furniture showroom and pharmacy.
The dream is bigger still.
"We have food pantries all over the state, why not have furniture?" he says.
For suppliers, Michalec thinks he'll work through the Maryland Food Banks' statewide contact list. "There are people in Hartford County that would like to donate furniture, they just don't have anywhere to go — yet," he says.
"With state and county, community and church, we can do it," Michalec says. "It's working."
In 2013, the Anne Arundel County Food & Resources Bank distributed more than $1.6 million worth of food to member agencies and assisted 625 families with appliances and 364 families with furniture, exercise equipment and household items valued at over $100,000.
To donate, call Michalec at 410-923-4255.
Food and monetary donations made during April will be matched up to $35,000 through the Feinstein Foundation $1 Million Dollar Giveaway. Label your food donation Ending Hunger to be part of the match.

Tiger Woods Is Still Part Of EA Sports' Golf Game Plan, But His Presence Is Deminished
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor
January 4, 2011: Electronic Arts, which has supported its alliance with Tiger Woods during the golfer's personal and professional trials and tribulations over the past year with new products and marketing, will continue to align with Woods in 2011. EA said that the upcoming version of its Tiger Woods PGA Tour videogame franchise will feature Woods, but has added a new major collaboration with the Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament.
EA Sports did not specify marketing support. However, one noticeable difference from previous versions is that Woods' image does not appear on the cover of the videogame (although he will appear on the cover of a limited collector's edition version). Analysts see this move as a business decision akin to EA's strategy with the popular Madden NFL franchise, where it is the established name of former NFL head coach and TV analyst John Madden, and no longer the actual presence of Madden himself, that is the driving factor.
According to EA Sports, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters will, for the first time in franchise history, enable players to "step onto the hallowed grounds of Augusta National, experience the rich history and tradition of the Masters Tournament and begin their own journey to capture the most sought-after prize in professional golf – the Green Jacket."
Among other new options available in the videogame is "Tiger at the Masters," where players can "relive each of Tiger's four wins at the Masters by attempting to equal or beat his scores in each round of the Tournament," according to EA Sports.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters is scheduled to go on sale in North America on March 29 and worldwide on April 1, to coincide with the 2011 Masters, which is scheduled for April 4-10. The product will be available for Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles. The Masters and five additional courses will also be included in the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 Collector's Edition, developed exclusively for the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system.
In 2010, support for its Woods-related golf titles included TV, print and Internet that featured Woods himself. EA Sports continued to feature Woods in marketing even as his personal life became public following his Thanksgiving Day weekend 2009 one-car accident. Nike has also used Woods in marketing, although companies that have ended their ties with the world's most visible golfer include Accenture, AT&T, Gatorade and Procter & Gamble's Gillette.
"I am very happy and excited that the Masters Tournament is featured in the Tiger Woods PGA Tour game," Woods said in a statement. "This is great for the sport and will connect a new audience with the Masters, a tournament I've been fortunate to experience since 1995. Continually growing the visibility of golf is important to attracting newcomers to the sport, and I agree that showcasing the Masters Tournament in the game will bring an entirely new dimension to that approach."
This year marks the 20th anniversary of a long-standing partnership between EA Sports and the PGA Tour. EA Sports said that since the launch of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 99 the franchise has sold more than 25 million units worldwide.
"For more than a decade, the Masters Tournament has been the most requested and coveted feature for the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise among our fans," said Peter Moore, president of EA Sports. "Pairing the No. 1 golf video game franchise with the most prestigious golf tournament in the world is a perfect marriage and we're thrilled to bring our fans this exciting opportunity to experience Augusta National Golf Club like never before."
As part of its alliance with EA Sports, the Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament has formed the Masters Tournament Foundation, which is designed to annually invest in development programs for the game of golf worldwide. According to Billy Payne, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, 100% of the Augusta National's proceeds from Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters will be contributed to the newly created Foundation.
"Our sincere motivation is to draw an even greater audience to this wonderful sport and continue to inspire its growth by building off the success seen in previous versions of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise," Payne said in a statement. "The beauty of Augusta National and the rich history of the Masters have inspired the dreams of golfers for generations. Three years of collaboration with EA Sports has resulted in a game we feel presents a truly authentic Masters experience."
"EA Sports, Tiger Woods and the PGA Tour have developed an extremely successful franchise that responds to one of the popular entertainment choices of kids today."
According to Payne, "EA Sports, Tiger Woods and the PGA Tour have developed an extremely successful franchise that responds to one of the popular entertainment choices of kids today. We hope our inclusion will foster an appreciation for the history and traditions of the Masters and inspire the next generation of golfers. Equally important is its ability to help further the mission of the Masters Tournament Foundation with the entirety of its proceeds."

Biden Tells Hunters No Need for Semi-Automatic Rifles
(WASHINGTON) -- Vice President Joe Biden told hunters Wednesday there's no bear too big, no varmint too small that requires the use of a semi-automatic rifle when hunting.
"If you have to go up into the Poconos and go bear hunting or deer hunting with that weapon, and you need a clip that has 30 rounds in it, then you shouldn't be hunting," Biden said in an interview with Field & Stream magazine released Wednesday. "You're a danger to yourself. If you can't get the bear or the deer in four or five shots, you've got a problem."
Earlier in the day, Biden delivered a similar comment when he spoke to the National Association of Attorneys General, but that time mentioned varmints.
"I was told, 'No, we need it for those little varmints.' OK, I got it. More muskrat and mice might be alive. OK. I think we can put up with that," Biden said at the luncheon. "Guys, these arguments!"
Biden shared a bit of advice on self-defense last week when he suggested people should "Buy a shotgun!" if they want to protect themselves in the home.
In the administration's latest push to take its gun proposals to the public, the vice president answered questions submitted by hunters in the interview with Field & Stream magazine. Last week, he took questions during an online forum with Parents magazine.
Biden's interview was the first in Field & Stream's series of interviews on gun control. The next interview will feature Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president and CEO of the National Rifle Association.

I actually saw this yesterday here in Copenhagen.
In Denmark we have the Danish Pedestrians' Union [Dansk Fodgænger Forbund] who do everything they can to fight for the pedestrians rightful place in the traffic.
I figured that with the current fanaticism coming out of the Danish Cyclists' Union, the Danish Traffic Safety Board and the Danish media at large, they would be interested in saving pedestrians' lives, too. It is the logical continuation of their ideology and lack of respect for science.
So I asked the head of the Pedestrians' Union a couple of questions in an email interview:
Question: I can see that the statistics show that pedestrians are at risk from head injury. I can also see that the Danish Traffic Safety Board and Danish Cyclists' Union are currently attempting to promote bike helmets. Does the Danish Pedestrians' Union have plans for promoting helmets for pedestrians so we can reduce the number of injuries in traffic? Pedestrians are at a higher risk than cyclists. Wouldn't it be a good idea?
Answer: Hi, Mikael. No, we haven't considered promoting helmets for pedestrians on the street. There are several reasons [choose freely];
1) We haven't even thought about it.
2) People who are injured in solo-accidents usually get injured in their home instead of the traffic. So people should probably wear helmets in the shower, instead.
3) Our primary goal is to get all the different players in traffic to obey the traffic laws so that traffic accidents become, in theory, impossible.
4) It ruins your hairdo.
5) You can't pull your rain hood over the helmet.
6) We risk changing peoples' attitudes and making it look like it isn't that dangerous to hit pedestrians - "But they have helmets on!"
In the big picture you shouldn't expect us to inconvienence pedestrians with this kind of promotion in order to 'save' them from the stupid mistakes made by drivers/riders of vehicles in traffic.
Actually, I think that motorists would stop hitting pedestrians immediately if it became widely known that pedestrians will explode with a large BANG and scratch the paint job on the car.
Best regards,
Dansk Fodgænger Forbund - www.fodtrafik.dk
Mikael le Dous
Nice to see that he is A. rather well informed about helmets and B. able to see the irony. As Wifealiciousness said, "Now there's a man you would enjoy having a beer with."
Here's an interesting article about saving the lives of motorists, by Nigel Perry in New Zealand. If the ideological fundamentalists wish to save lives, they will read this and act accordingly and immediately.
We were sent a couple of links by readers;
- Forbes has an article on their site from a previous issue about motorcycle helmets.
- This guy doesn't like Bell Helmets - the company - at ALL.

SOCHI, Russia — Though a handful of activists were arrested in conjunction with Olympic protests over the last two weeks, including the high-profile detainment of punk band Pussy Riot, Russia's treatment of dissident voices rarely came to the forefront during the Sochi games.
But as the Winter Olympics end and the intense media scrutiny fades, there is concern among those familiar with Russia's human rights record that activists who have been in the crosshairs of Vladimir Putin's government will be dealt with harshly in the aftermath.
"I don't have a crystal ball, but since Putin's inauguration in May 2012 there's been a pretty unrelenting crackdown on civil society, political activism, critical voices, threats of criminal charges, real criminal charges and a real kind of poisonous rhetoric on state TV about human rights activists, environmental activists and gay activists," said Rachel Denber, deputy director for Europe and Central Asia at Human Rights Watch.
"There was a slight relenting of that campaign as we started to move into the final months before the Olympics because they knew the world was watching. So of course there's concern about retribution."
REMOVED: Transgender activist escorted from Olympic Park
IOC: Protests in Olympic sites 'wholly inappropriate'
Though Russian officials did everything they could to minimize protests around the Olympics, allowing them only in a district about eight miles from the Olympic Park, there was some noteworthy activity.
On the opening day of the Olympics, four gay rights activists were arrested in St. Petersburg and 10 in Moscow after unfurling a banner referencing "Principle 6" of the Olympic charter, banning any form of discrimination.
Evgeny Vitishko, an environmental activist who had been critical of the Sochi games, was arrested Feb. 3 for allegedly swearing at a bus stop, then given a three-year sentence for violating parole related to an incident of vandalism in 2011. David Khakim, another activist, was later detained for protesting the sentence given to Vitishko.
And then there was the brief Feb. 18 detainment in Sochi of Pussy Riot members Nadezha Tolokonnikova and Mariya Alyokhina, who were in town to record a music video for a song titled "Putin will teach you to love the motherland." Those two, along with seven others, were taken to the police station in Adler and questioned about a theft at a hotel before being released.
The following day, as Pussy Riot attempted to perform outside a downtown Sochi restaurant, they were attacked by a Cossack militia with whips and pepper spray.
PUSSY RIOT: Cossacks use whips on band members
IOC: Pussy Riot beating 'unsettling,' not Olympic problem
Deputy prime minister Dmitry Kozak characterized Pussy Riot's trip to Sochi as a provocation that "they've been searching for for a long time" but said there would be no retribution against anyone "who peacefully protested against the games."
"This is simply impossible under the Russian constitution," Kozak said. "We can't punish anyone who spoke out under the framework of the law – I can guarantee that."
Others aren't so sure.
Pussy Riot's release from jail in December after 21-month sentences was part of an amnesty measure that was widely viewed as Russia's response to the outcry over its human rights record in the run-up to the Olympics.
It's also noteworthy that sentencing for eight people involved in a 2012 anti-Putin protest that became violent has been delayed until Monday – the day after the Olympics end.
That's all the more reason, Denber said, for the West not to ignore human rights in Russia going forward.
"The Olympics were really important to them and Russia's international standing and prestige is extremely important to the Kremlin," she said. "So policymakers around the world, the more they watch, the more they speak out in support of activists who are doing good work and speak out in support of human rights and good governance the better – no matter how much the Russian government gets hysterical and says it's a conspiracy to undermine sovereignty."
BRENNAN: Pussy Riot punctures Putin's Olympics bubble
HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS: Concern about life after Games
There's also a question about what kind of treatment Russia's gay citizens will receive now that the spotlight is off the so-called "anti-propaganda" law that has been tied directly to an increasing number of homophobic attacks in Russia.
Though Russia made good on its promise that gay athletes or spectators at the Olympics wouldn't be arrested or subjected to harassment, the relaxation of anti-gay sentiment seems temporary according to Michael Bronski, a Harvard professor and scholar on activism and LBGT history.
"As a general rule, people act better when they're being watched," he said. "There was so much coming out of Washington from the Obama administration sending over lesbian and gay people to represent America (at the opening ceremonies), it doesn't surprise me that even Putin would back down a bit. But once it goes away I don't think LGBT activists in Russia are going to have it much easier than they had it before the Olympics. The social structures haven't changed. The law is still the same, the sort of hooliganism of conservative elements in society hasn't changed."
Ty Cobb, director of global engagement for the Human Rights Campaign, said in an e-mail that even though the International Olympic Committee may be leaving Russia, how gays are treated there will remain at the forefront of his organization's agenda.
"We must remain vigilant," he said. "We will continue to collaborate with Russian LGBT advocates in ways that support their efforts to combat anti-LGBT statements and acts coming from Russian government leaders."?

Amherst Council Member Mark A. Manna has raised more money in his bid for supervisor than incumbent Barry A. Weinstein – thanks in large part to opponents of a controversial hotel.
But that doesn't mean Weinstein will be crying poor this election season – quite the opposite.
Weinstein comes into the race with $25,000 his wife loaned him late last year and he says he has more if he needs it.
In all, nearly $60,000 has been raised by both candidates – a significant amount for a suburban election that has already proven contentious.
Campaign documents filed last week by Manna, a Democrat, and Weinstein, a Republican, show the upstart Manna actually has more in his election kitty than the incumbent.
The contract negotiator and pension trustee has $33,000 in his election fund, most of which poured in since the beginning of the year.
He came into the most recent fundraising cycle with $12,000 and raised an additional $25,000 – nearly half of which came from opponents of the proposed Hyatt Place hotel on Main Street. He wound up with $33,000 on hand after spending on advertising and other expenses.
The numbers show Manna has won over the hearts – and the wallets – of the neighbors who are mounting a furious campaign to stop the hotel from being built near their backyards.
A total of $12,413 was given by residents of Livingston and Lakewood parkways, whose backyards would face the hotel.
His largest individual contributors, all members of that group, were James D. Reynolds, $3,500; Edward J. Butler, $2,500; Raymond V. Paolini Jr., $2,000; and Kathleen Lindell, $1,500.
Manna said the money shows the development of two six-story hotels along Main Street has "really galvanized people's concern about development and where we're heading as a town."
"It's not just one hotel," he added. "Who is planning the development future for the town? Special interests, or are we going to let the neighbors have a say in how their neighborhood is developed?"
Weinstein, meanwhile, said he has not held a fundraiser in more than two years.
"I don't need the money," he said. "I intend to self-fund. I'm going to be completely independent."
Records show Weinstein's wife, Lois, loaned his campaign $25,000 in December. Since then, he has received just $600.
Weinstein, who has held positions as a doctor, lawyer and real estate developer, was asked whether he was worried that Manna had more money at this point.
"Not at all," he said with a laugh.
He predicted the issue of taxes and quality-of-life issues – not just development – would be a key to the upcoming election.
"Most of the people historically have been concerned about the taxes they pay and the job opportunities in the area and the good quality of government," he said, adding that the town has cut millions in costs under his watch.
But he said he is not ignoring the development issue, which had become a central theme in the campaign thus far.
"The Town Board has been blamed for a lot of development it had nothing to do with," he said. "Maybe we need to change the rules so the Town Board is more involved in the process."

In 2008, Prime Minister Denzil Douglas restructured his cabinet following the resignation of a top minister. Saint Kitts and Nevis also suffered from a spike in crime and took steps during the year to strengthen anticorruption, antiterrorism, and antitrafficking laws.
Saint Kitts and Nevis gained independence from Britain in 1983 but remains a member of the Commonwealth. Denzil Douglas of the ruling Saint Kitts and Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP) has been prime minister since July 1995. In 2002 elections, the SKNLP won a stronger parliamentary majority, taking all eight Saint Kitts seats in the National Assembly and shutting out the opposition People's Action Movement (PAM).
Douglas called early elections for October 2004, and his SKNLP won seven Saint Kitts seats, while the opposition PAM took the eighth. The Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM), a pro-independence party that headed Nevis's local government, kept two seats, while the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP), which also historically has favored secession from Saint Kitts, retained one. In July 2006, the NRP defeated the CCM in elections for Nevis's local assembly, taking three of the five seats. The NRP's Joseph Parry was subsequently named the island's third premier.
In August 2008, the minister of national security, immigration, and labor resigned following rumors in the press about a dispute with the prime minister. After the impasse, Douglas restructured the ministerial portfolios, taking under his responsibility the ministries of national security, foreign affairs, immigration, sustainable development, tourism, sport and culture and putting his deputy in charge of education, youth affairs, labor, social security, and information and technology. The goal was to take greater control over these policy areas, in order to formulate a coordinated response to the problem of crime in the country. Meanwhile, Saint Kitts and Nevis reaffirmed its close ties with Taiwan in January by opening its first Embassy in Taipei.
On the economic front, authorities in April eliminated a 15 to 25.5 percent consumption tax on food staples to counter rising food prices. Also during the year, the government promised to review the country's minimum wage, won a US$ 6.2 million loan from the Barbados-based Caribbean Development Bank to fund child-development projects through student loans, and committed EC$50 million (around US$19 million) for a housing program.
Saint Kitts and Nevis is an electoral democracy. The 2004 elections were free and fair. The federal government consists of the prime minister, the cabinet, and the unicameral National Assembly. A governor-general represents Britain's Queen Elizabeth II as ceremonial head of state. Elected National Assembly members—eight from Saint Kitts and three from Nevis—serve five-year terms. Senators are appointed to the body, and their number may not exceed two-thirds of the elected members, with one chosen by the leader of the parliamentary opposition for every two chosen by the prime minister. Saint Kitts's main political parties are the SKNLP and the PAM. On Nevis, the two main parties are the CCM, which had long been the majority party there, and the NRP, which won a majority of seats in the Nevis Island Assembly in July 2006. Nevis's assembly is composed of five elected and three appointed members, and the local government pays for all of its own services except for those involving police and foreign relations. Saint Kitts has no similar body.
The constitution grants Nevis the option to secede if two-thirds of the elected legislators in Nevis's local assembly and two-thirds of Nevisian referendum voters approve. Though a 1998 referendum on independence failed, Nevisians continued to feel neglected by the central government.
In an effort to create greater transparency in political party financing, a constitutional amendment was approvedin 2005, requiring the disclosure of all campaign donors whose gifts exceeded a certain threshold. While concerns persisted that drug trafficking and money laundering may undermine the effectiveness of the police force and taint the judicial process, Saint Kitts and Nevis has generally implemented its anticorruption laws effectively. In January 2008, the cabinet proposed the Integrity in Public Life Act, which would require political party candidates, members of parliament, ministers, and senior civil servants to declare their assets. In June and July, lawmakers passed anti-money laundering regulations as well as an antiterrorism amendment act, designed to shore up money laundering and counter financing components of antiterrorism legislation. Saint Kitts and Nevis was not surveyed in Transparency International's 2008 Corruption Perceptions Index.
Constitutional guarantees of free expression are generally respected. The sole local television station is government owned, although it is managed by a Trinidadian company, and there are some restrictions on opposition access to the medium. The government radio station was privatized in 1997. There are four radio stations and two newspapers; one of them publishes daily and the other one weekly. Foreign media are available, and internet access is not restricted.
The free exercise of religion is constitutionally protected, and academic freedom is generally honored.
The right to organize civic organizations and labor unions is generally respected, as is freedom of assembly. The main labor union, the Saint Kitts Trades and Labour Union, is associated with the ruling SKNLP. The right to strike, while not specified by law, is recognized and generally respected in practice.
The judiciary is for the most part independent, and legal provisions for a fair and speedy trial are generally observed. The death penalty is recognized; according to Amnesty International, in 2008, Saint Kitts and Nevis carried out the first death penalty in the Western Hemisphere outside of the United States since 2003. The highest court is the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court on Saint Lucia, but under certain circumstances, there is a right of appeal to the Caribbean Court of Justice in Trinidad. Additionally, an appeal may be made to the Privy Council in the United Kingdom.
The islands' traditionally strong rule of law has been tested by an increase in drug-related crime and corruption, and the intimidation of witnesses and jurors is a problem. In 2008, there were 23 murders in Saint Kitts and Nevis, up from 16 the previous year, pushing the per capita murder rate to 46 per 100,000—the highest of the eight countries in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. The national prison is overcrowded, and conditions are poor. The repatriation of felons from the United States has contributed to law enforcement agencies' sense that they are being overwhelmed.
Reports suggest that the country's economic citizenship program, which allows the purchase of passports through real-estate investments worth a minimum of US$250,000 and a registration fee of US$35,000,has facilitated illegal immigration from China and other countries into the United States and Canada. In January 2005, the government enacted new work-permit rules for foreign nationals, requiring that the jobs in question be advertised to current citizens.
Violence against women is a problem on the islands. The Domestic Violence Act of 2000 criminalizes domestic violence and provides penalties for abusers. The Department of Gender Affairs has offered counseling for abuse victims and conducted training on domestic and gender-based violence. There are no laws against sexual harassment. More girls than boys are enrolled in primary and secondary education. Legislation passed in November 2008 increased the age of consent for sexual activity from 16 to 18. In August, the parliament passed a bill that will allow Saint Kitts and Nevis to meet international standards for preventing human trafficking and punishing those responsible.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has called for a strengthening of economic ties with Sudan, reported the Pan-African news agency. He made the statement while receiving a 25-strong Sudanese business delegation at in Addis Ababa.
Zenawi said economic ties between the two countries had improved since the recent signing of trade agreements, which resulted in the upgrading of road and rail links between the two countries. He added that cooperation in telecommunications and banking was paving the way for greater bilateral trade and investment.
Al-Taib Ahmed Osman, the chairman of the Federation of Sudanese Chambers of Commerce and the head of the Sudanese delegation, said that both countries stand to benefit in their agricultural, trade and industrial sectors from the improved spirit of cooperation.
During their five-days in Addis Ababa, the Sudanese delegates are meeting with representatives of the Ethiopian business community and officials of the Ethiopian investment authority. On April 30, the countries will hold a joint commission meeting in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum.— (Albawaba-MEBG)

WORCESTER — Elizabeth Akaab, a widowed mother from Ghana who received the 2013 Eric Rogers Memorial Award for "courage and determination in overcoming significant barriers," says she is just grateful for the access to medical services here for her three children with disabilities.
WORCESTER — It's warm in Elizabeth Akaab's two-bedroom apartment, on the bottom floor of a building near Grafton Hill.
On the wall of her living room is a large green rosary. Framed portraits of her children hang on the cream-colored walls and light pours in past warm brown curtains through the sliding doors of the living room.
On a cloudy Monday morning with temperatures in the low 20s, Mrs. Akaab said the adjustment to New England weather since immigrating from Ghana a decade ago with her family was a minor challenge.
Mrs. Akaab, a proud yet humble woman, doesn't naturally want to tell about her story.
"Every day God gives me the strength," she said. "Even though it's difficult he always helps me through."
Last month, she received the 2013 Eric Rogers Memorial Award, which is given to a person "who has demonstrated courage and determination in overcoming significant barriers to achieve personal goals." The award is offered by HMEA, a nonprofit that supports 4,000 children and adults with developmental disabilities.
When Mrs. Akaab and her husband, Felix, came to the United States in 2003 their children were 4 and 2 years old. She said they "won the lottery" through a program that granted them green cards. Here, they have access to the medical attention that is not available in their country.
Her oldest, now 14, has Down syndrome, which affects her mobility but is still "very sharp," Mrs. Akaab said. She is an honor roll student at Holy Name Junior Senior High School.
Her son, who is now 12, has cerebral palsy. A boisterous young man, he and his older sister bring up the water, wine and host during the Sunday evening service each week at St. John's Catholic Church, said The Rev. John Madden.
Mrs. Akaab's youngest child is now 5 years old and has also been diagnosed with spastic quadriplegia, the most severe form of cerebral palsy, which makes it hard for her to walk on her own and requires constant attention and care.
As difficult it was to have three children with a range of developmental problems, Mrs. Akaab said it was a relief to access the services needed to care for them. So when they came to the U.S., she and her husband had to navigate the health care system, get driver's licenses, and find jobs.
"We were so happy (to come to the U.S.)," she said.
In November 2010, Mr. Akaab was diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the blood, and underwent chemotherapy. He still worked extra hours to provide for his wife and children. He died less than a year later, on July 5, 2011.
"Felix was a tremendous man," said Rev. Madden, who has known the family for years. "He was so dedicated to those kids so when he died you wondered what was going to happen... (Mrs. Akaab) just has risen to the challenge and it really is remarkable."
Pat Lynch has worked for the past several years as a case manager at HMEA, the nonprofit that serves people with development disabilities throughout Central Massachusetts.
"All the families I serve... have their unique story and needs," she said. "But the thing that always came through the most about Elizabeth was her attitude and her joy. She's such an uplifting spirit."
Mrs. Lynch described calling Mrs. Akaab, who always expressed a deep interest in how she was doing.
"She'd always have this concern for me," she said, explaining that Mrs. Akaab rarely asked for help.
Not uncommon with other parents of children with developmental disabilities, Mrs. Akaab works 24 hours a week taking care of elderly people suffering from dementia.
"She approaches life with a positive attitude," Ms. Lynch said. "Her spirit can't be dampened."
Thursday, Mrs. Akaab planned to have an early Thanksgiving meal with her family. In the afternoon she will be working, while a friend watches her children.
"No matter how difficult things are, she finds a way," Mrs. Lynch wrote in the award nomination. She noted the hard work required to connect with schools, medical teams and therapists to provide the best care possible for her kids.
"She is a wonderful advocate for them," Mrs. Lynch wrote.
Mrs. Akaab also finds time to be charitable to others. Rev. Madden said that she brought a frozen turkey and other food donations to the church to help provide for those in need.
"She has regalness to her," he said. "She has a presence and serenity and strength because she's had to fight."

The Buffalo Bills hoped to lock up Jairus Byrd to a long-term contract, but with talks in a holding pattern, they've chosen another path to keeping the talented safety in-house.
NFL.com's Ian Rapaport reported the Bills planned to use their franchise tag on the 26-year-old defender, according to a source informed of the team's plans. ESPN first reported the news and the Bills later confirmed the designation, which comes as no surprise. Tim Graham of The Buffalo News reports the tag is of the non-exclusive variety.
Following the release of fellow safety George Wilson last month, the Bills weren't going to allow Byrd to slip away. He's their most talented player in the secondary and one of the few Bills players who had a knack for generating turnovers last season. Byrd was a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie in 2009 and was named as an injury replacement in 2012.
This is an ascending player. Byrd was targeted 21 times last season and pulled down five interceptions without allowing a touchdown. He closed out the year as the NFL's second-ranked safety, per ProFootballFocus, after counting just $1.1 million against the salary cap last season.
Expect the Bills to continue to negotiate with Byrd's people toward a new deal, but the $6.9 million tag -- once it's signed -- would assure that Byrd won't fly away for at least another year.

Recently I researched buying a new kettle, but did not pull the trigger. (Bought a new guitar instead. Choices... choices...)
One issue with size I found was that some of the preassembled 15 gallon kettles, like the Blichmann model, put the thermometer at around the 6 gallon mark, making it somewhat less useful for 5 gallon batches.
On aluminum vs stainless steel, it's your call. Aluminum is cheaper, but requires more maintenance and isn't as easy to modify (ie., drilling ports and/or welding; refer to Palmer's How To Brew). I had an 8 gallon aluminum pot for a while, I stopped using it because I upgraded to full boils and had problems with boilover, and also I managed to pit the interior by leaving some cleaning chemical (or possibly temp storage of Star San) in it for too long. Those sort of problems are less likely with stainless.
For those conducting BIAB in their kettle, clearly a thermometer is needed. Wouldn't a kettle-mounted probe get in the way of the bag?Thanks for pointing out the occasional utility of a kettle-mounted thermometer.

Subscribe To Disney Confirms 2012 Release Date For Monsters, Inc. 2 Updates
I've already subscribed
Disney made a ton of announcements about their future plans today, but the most exciting news, as usual, was coming from Pixar. THR reports that the studio not only confirmed the existence of Monsters Inc. 2, but has announced a release date of November 16, 2012. Everyone now clutch your Sully dolls and squeal all at once.
The other Pixar announcement was official confirmation that original fairytale The Bear and the Bow has been retitled Brave (rumored last month), and will be released on June 15, 2012, making it the official Pixar summertime release for that year. Much of the other Disney news came in tidbits, which I gleaned from Anne Thompson's Twitter feed and you should too. Among them: Jason Segel's new Muppets movie will include a new Muppet named Walter; The Avengers has an official release date of May 4, 2012; Disney will release Gnomeo and Juliet even though it's technically a Miramax film; and Thompson thinks Secretariat, starring Diane Lane as the legendary horse's owner, could be a surprise hit for the studio.
But really, the news here is Monsters Inc. 2, and Pixar's continued reliance on sequels alongside their original material (remember, Cars 2 is coming next summer, not to mention this summer's Toy Story 3). Are you so excited to see Boo again that you just don't care? Or do you wish the Pixar brain trust would devote more time to original material?

The First Pixar Short/
Hope The Younger and I believe we have seen all the Miyazaki films now, including Animal Treasure Island, Lupin The 3rd, and Pom Poko. Our UrgeToComplete is turning us to Pixar, and luckily Anne Thompson tipped us to this the other week. "The Adventures Of Andre And Wally B" was the first Pixar short, way back when Pixar was a division of Lucas Film. Now the question is, have we seen every Pixar film? Once we check these boxes, we might as well move on to TheEntireHistoryOfFilmEVER!

By Chris Isidore
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Consumers are getting some relief at the gas pump, particularly in the middle of the country, as prices could soon fall to levels not achieved since early 2011.
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gas has fallen steadily every day for almost four weeks. Tuesday's $3.24 a gallon reading from the AAA was the lowest price so far in 2012 and only three cents away from the price last reached in February 2011.
Tom Kloza, chief analyst at the Oil Price Information Service, said that he thinks the chances are good that prices will reach that nearly two-year low, based on what he's seeing in the wholesale price market. OPIS compiles prices data from 120,000 stations nationwide for AAA. He said the national average is partly being driven down by better fuel economy, continued high unemployment and an increase in telecommuting, which together have cut consumption about 2% to 3% in the last year. Increased supplies from booming U.S. and Canadian production is also driving down prices.
"Crude oil in the middle of the country is less than $50 a barrel," said Kloza. "Once you get to the coast, the prices are higher, but we've got some very cheap domestic prices."
In addition, oil prices globally are also being pushed down by the recession in Europe and Japan, and a slowdown in China's economic growth. There are also worries by some investors about the chance of the fiscal cliff causing the U.S. economy to fall into a recession.
"There's not a lot of money going into crude futures right now because they have worries about cuts in spending that could occur," he said about the fiscal cliff recession fears.
If the country does go into recession, Kloza said gas prices could get below $3 a gallon for the first time since December 2010.
"It'd be the silver lining no one would enjoy," he said.
