Dutch wary of Socceroos ambush
The Netherlands are bracing for an Australian ambush despite the Socceroos losing foot soldier Mark Milligan to injury for their World Cup battle.
Milligan's hamstring strain has sidelined him from a second group match in Porto Alegre fixture on Wednesday (Thursday AEST) that is making the highly-fancied Dutch a little nervous.
As Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal batted away numerous questions about winning the World Cup in the wake of his team's defeat of champions Spain, his star midfielder Wesley Sneijder insisted Australia could prove more difficult to topple than Spain.
"It's perfectly possible," Sneijder told reporters on Tuesday.
"We have never won against Australia. We have played them three times and we didn't win so it will be a difficult match.
"After the 5-1 victory (against Spain) everybody will have taken a light view of this. But we will not."
Australian coach Ange Postecoglou was forced into another reshuffle after Milligan reported a hamstring tightness.
Postecoglou, who declined to nominate Milligan's replacement, must also cover injured defender Ivan Franjic, who has returned home with a torn hamstring.
Despite the double blows, Postecoglou promised his rank underdogs won't adopt defensive tactics to try and stifle the rampant Dutch, led by their twin strike force of Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben who both bagged doubles against Spain.
"That is not why we came to the World Cup," Postecoglou declared on Tuesday.
"We know we'll have to be very strong defensively because the Dutch are very dangerous going forward and they proved that against Spain.
"The other side of that is, if we just try to defend for 90 minutes there is only going to be one result and that won't be in our favour.
"It's just as important that we're dangerous when we have the ball, and I think we can be."
His Dutch counterpart van Gaal believed Postecoglou wasn't bluffing.
"I do not expect Australia to have a defensive game," van Gaal told reporters.
"I also expect Australia to play an offensive game because, indeed, their national coach is basing himself on this.
"He should line up (Tim) Cahill in such a game while he is one of the unique qualities of the Australian team.
"So I do think that they will be playing a much more offensive game than anybody thinks."
Both coaches welcomed the cooler climes of Porto Alegre, with a forecast maximum temperature of 15 degrees on match day.
"With the cooler conditions you can expect a quicker tempo and maybe for the game to be a little more compact," Postecoglou said.
"We know both teams like to play attacking football. The Dutch do, and that is certainly our intent."
Captain Mile Jedinak said the Socceroos were prepared for a rapid-fire encounter, confident the jitters that cruelled Australia in their 3-1 opening loss to Chile had dissolved.
"We did address it after the game - obviously it was too late then," Jedinak said.
"But a lot of players were playing in their first World Cup, the biggest game of their careers.
"That was the unfortunate thing that happened in that game.
"But the key part in that was the response, what you saw after that first 20 minutes. And I know that will drive the boys going forward."

It was conducted to produce practical information that can help LEAs establish guidelines that assist in the effective design of Conducted Energy Device (CED) deployment programs that support increased safety for officers and citizens. The study used a quasi-experimental design to compare seven LEAs with CED deployment to a set of six matched LEAs that did not deploy CEDs on a variety of safety outcomes. From 2006-2008, data were collected on the details of every use of force incident during a specified time period (1992-2007), as well as demographic and crime statistics for each site. For the agencies that deployed CEDs, at least two years of data on use of force incidents were collected for the period before CED deployment and at least two years of data for the period after CED deployment. For the agencies that did not deploy CEDs, at least four years of data were collected over a similar period. Citation View help for Citation Taylor, Bruce, and Koper, Chris.

The site identification variable is also masked in the downloadable datasets. In the restricted versions of this data collection, the site identification variable is comprised of anonymized site ID values. Site names are not available to secondary users of the data, even under restricted access procedures. While the year and site variables are only available via restricted access procedures, users can replicate many analyses conducted in the final report for this study (Taylor et al., 2009; NCJ 237965) using the pre-period/post-period CED deployment variable and the CED site/Non-CED site indicator variable in conjunction with other collected measures. Users should be aware that while data collection for this study occurred between 2006 and 2008, Part 1 includes incidents occurring in 2008 and 2009. According to the principal investigators, it is possible that those values are correct, or they could be mistypes. Additionally, a single incident is listed as occurring in 1975 and another in 1987, these are most likely a wild code. The time period used by the principal investigators for analysis in their report and for which data are included in Part 2 and Part 3 is 1998-2007. Part 1 contains additional data from before and after this time period, because some agencies gave the researchers their entire electronic Use of Force dataset. Users should be aware that while both Part 1 and Part 3 contain information at the incident-level, they have a different number of cases. Part 1 includes all incidents for which data were provided during the collection process for each site. Part 3 was used by the principal investigators for statistical analysis and includes only incidents that occurred during the four years (between 1998 and 2007) selected at each site for analysis purposes as described in the study design. More details on the research design and methods can be found in the final report for the study (Taylor et al., 2009; NCJ 237965). The following time methods are indicated for this study: Cross-sectional, Longitudinal, Longitudinal: Panel, and Time Series. All of these options are selected because the study design and structure of the datasets make the exact time method unclear. Although the unit of observation for Part 1 and Part 3 is individual use-of-force incident (i.e. each row in the dataset corresponds to a single incident), both parts are multi-level datasets (Part 3 is specifically set up for use in Hierarchical Linear Modeling) and the study design is structured around the 13 law enforcement agencies at which the incidents occurred. Therefore, it is difficult to specify whether the study is tracking a population (Longitudinal), a fixed sample of respondents (Longitudinal: Panel), or a sampling of individual cases across time (Time Series). Additionally, while the incidents occurred over continuous periods at each agency, and span a 15 year period in Part 1 and a 9 year period in Part 3, the study design is largely structured around two discrete time periods, a "before" period and an "after" period. The unit of observation for Part 2 is the law enforcement agency, and the dataset includes data that are Cross-sectional (from the US Census 2000), and data that are two-period (before and after) Longitudinal: Panel data. For more details on study design, users can refer to the final report for this study (Taylor et al., 2009; NCJ 237965). Methodology Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose The purpose of the study was to produce scientifically valid results to inform law enforcement agency (LEA) executives' decisions regarding the use of Conducted Energy Devices (CEDs). The goal of the study was to produce practical information that can help law enforcement executives make good decisions about whether to deploy CEDs, and if a decision is made to deploy them, to help the agencies develop CED policy and procedural guidelines that provide increased safety for officers and citizens. In order to accomplish this goal, the objective was to conduct an evaluation comparing LEAs that have deployed CEDs to a matched group of LEAs that have not deployed CEDs in terms of officer and suspect safety during use-of-force incidents. Study Design View help for Study Design The study used a quasi-experimental design to compare Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) with Conducted Energy Device (CED) deployment to a set of matched LEAs that did not deploy CEDs on a variety of outcomes. The matching design used by this study involved matching seven CED deploying sites and six non-CED deploying sites based on violent crime levels, police activity, agency size, and population size of jurisdiction. The inclusion of 13 departments allowed the study not only to assess incident-level factors, but also some important departmental/organizational-level factors that could affect outcomes. The study included data collected for at least four years on all incidents of use of force for all of the participating departments. For the LEAs that deployed CEDs, data were collected for at least two years before CED deployment and two years of data after CED deployment. For the LEAs that did not deploy CEDs, data were collected for at least four years over a similar period. While the focus of the study was on the use of CEDs, data were collected on all use-of-force incidents (not just CED cases), in order to examine the range of weapons and unarmed tactics that the police employ in exerting force to arrest suspects. The researchers collected data in one of two ways, either a two-person research team was sent to the participating LEA to conduct onsite archival review and coding of use of force documents or they used electronic use of force data maintained by the participating LEA. Among the agencies with electronic data, some had good relationships with the Police Executive Research Forum, and opted to give the researchers their entire use of force dataset, rather than only four years of data. Using the raw data on each incident (Part 1), the principal investigators created computed/derived variables about selected incidents for use in hierarchical linear modeling analyses (Part 3). Additionally, aggregate data about each of the 13 sites were collected (Part 2); the research team worked with each site to collect crime and demographic data for each participating city. The sources of these data were the FBI's Uniform Crime Report (UCR) system and the United States Census 2000. Sample View help for Sample The principal investigators selected 18 police departments nationwide using a selection process designed to ensure comparability across the departments and to ensure that each department could provide the necessary outcome data. The goal was to have at least 12 departments in the study, and 13 were obtained. The selection criteria included: (1) being able to provide data on all incidents of use of force (including data such as type of force used and injury outcomes to both officer and suspects), (2) having a written policy identifying Conducted Energy Device (CED) and other less-lethal weapon placement on the force continuum, (3) a willingness to share data with the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) for this study, and (4) having at least 100 sworn officers (larger law enforcement agencies were sought for participation in the study in order to obtain sufficient numbers of use-of-force incidents for a robust analysis). To ensure that appropriate groups could be compared to each other and that the time-series (pre- and post-test) component of the study could take place, the final criterion (5) was that the departments in the study needed to have all of the necessary data available for at least 4 years (2 years pre-CED deployment and 2 years post-CED deployment or 4 years of a comparable time period for the non-CED deploying sites). The selection of cities was based on a matching analysis using a PERF nationally representative survey on use of force, conducted in 2006-2007, which surveyed a stratified random sample of 950 Law Enforcement Agencies and received responses from just under 60 percent of the sample. The final sample includes all 17,965 use of force incidents for which data was gathered (Part 1) at 13 sites (Part 2). Part 3 includes a subsample of the incidents in Part 1, consisting of the 14,866 incidents that occurred at the 13 sites over 4 years selected by the principal investigators for analysis (2 years pre-CED deployment and 2 years post-CED deployment or 4 years of a comparable time period for the non-CED sites).

These include basic information about the incident (date, time, and type of call) as well as information about up to seven officers and up to seven suspects involved in each incident. These fall into a few categories: Background variables concerning the officers and suspects which include: physical descriptions, demographics, years of experience (officers only), and criminal history (suspects only). Variables describing behavior of the officers and suspects during the incident including: weapons available (officers and suspects), weapons used and specifically any use of Conducted Energy Devices (officers only), behavior during the incident (suspects only), and whether the suspect was impaired by alcohol/drugs or psychologically impaired, during the incident. Variables regarding injuries, for each of the officers, suspects, and for up to seven bystanders. These include: whether there was an injury, the cause and type of the injury, the severity of injury (including fatalities), and the level of medical attention required. There are also a number of computed variables, derived from the collected data, these primarily aggregate across multiple variables. These include aggregations across variables about a single individual (for example, the most severe suspect behavior, aggregating over the questions about different types of suspect behavior) and aggregations across individuals (for example: whether suspects were shot, aggregating over the seven suspects). Part 2 has 24 variables, including 9 variables about demographic statistics (based on statistics from the 2000 United States Census) and 14 variables about crime statistics for each site (based on statistics from the FBI's Uniform Crime Report system). Part 3 has 39 variables describing each use of force incident at the 13 sites. These include characteristics of the agency involved, the time period of the incident, suspect demographics and behaviors, injuries and deaths of officers and suspects involved in the incident, and weapons used in the incident.

Non-RBA Poseurs Not Priced Enough for Top 50
In a previous article, we profiled the Northern California cities that hit the Forbes 50 Most Expensive Zip Codes out of 500 of those suckahs. But we only care about the ones where the weather is nice, sushi is abundant, and you can get stock options without being the CEO.
These are the Zips that didn't make the Top 50. Forbes didn't think they were worthy of home listing photos, so I had to dig them up myself. And let's remind Forbes about their messing up their detail data, what with every single DOM value set to 200.
Should any of these zips be allowed in the RBA?
#51: Los Altos 94024
- Median Home Price: $1,895,000
- Median Price Change: -36.3% ⇓
- Average Days On Market: 200 119
- Inventory: 119 43
- Rank in 2010: #18 (-33 spots ⇓)
- Most Expensive Home: $5.5 Million (12445 Hilltop Rd)
Forbes avoided last year's screwup with this zip by simply not admitting Los Altos Hills exists in 94024 this year. Last year LA and LAH had identical data and ranks. This year they screwed up by picking a property in Los Altos Hills as most expensive. The most expensive I can find in Los Altos proper is this one (whose photo appears at right) at $4M.
And there's plenty more, after the break!

129 Minnesota Clinics Received Drugs from Pharmacy
ST. PAUL (AP) — The Minnesota Department of Health says 129 clinics in Minnesota received injectable drugs from a pharmacy linked to a meningitis outbreak.
The health department is contacting those clinics to make sure they are contacting their patients who were given the drugs.
On Monday, U.S. health officials said two more drugs from the New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass., are now being investigated.
Previously, health officials were focusing on contacting and evaluating those patients who received injections of a steroid suspected of being contaminated. In Minnesota, that amounted to about 985 patients who received spinal injections at Twin Cities pain clinics. Almost all of those patients have been contacted.
The number of confirmed fungal meningitis cases in Minnesota linked to tainted steroids remains at five.

Kylie Jenner and Jaden Smith Reportedly Dating
(LOS ANGELES) -- Jaden Smith, the actor and son of Will and Jada Pinkett- Smith, is being linked to reality star Kylie Jenner, daughter of Bruce and Kris Jenner. A source told Us Weekly that the two 14-year-olds are dating and that "it's new, but they've been friends forever."
A representative for Jenner's PR firm did not immediately respond for comment.
The duo was spotted in London at the Caffe Nero on Sunday, March 3. Smith was in town to celebrate his friend Justin Bieber's birthday.
E! reported that his age was the reason he could not get into Bieber's party in the Cirque du Soir club. Justin Bieber tweeted that he had the "worst birthday," causing many to wonder if Smith had anything to do with Bieber's bad night.
Smith talked about his night out with Bieber, tweeting, "I gave Justin his Cartier then went home," but did not talk about time spent with Jenner on the social media site. All Jenner tweeted was, "Bye London, I'll miss you."

Technical Support
Here are some helpful guides to keep your Canyon in top shape! Just pick the relevant category to find the solution to your issue.
Adjusting of compression and platform
The compression regulates how fast the shock compresses. If, for example, you are experiencing unwanted suspension bob on your bike, you can counteract this by adjusting the hardness of the compression. This also helps when the suspension fork compresses too far when riding down steps or bottoms out with hard shocks.
The adjusting screws for compression are often blue and located near the screws for adjusting the rebound. However, please note that the not all shocks allow the rider to adjust the compression.
The lower the compression, the more sensitive and comfortable the suspension performance will be.
The Lockout function allows the rider to effectively switch off the shock's compression. RockShox suspension forks allow you to activate the lockout via the PopLoc lever on the handlebar. Picture 1 Magura forks also have the Lockout lever on the handlebar. DT Swiss forks can be blocked by turning the silver knob on the top right of the fork crown.
FOX RL and RLC forks allow you to intensify the level of compression right through to total Lockout via the blue lever. Picture 2 The fork then only compresses when the bike hits extremely hard bumps. On FOX forks with RLC technology the breakaway torque can be adjusted. The breakaway torque can be adjusted via the black knob on the top right of the fork crown. If you turn the knob clockwise, you increase the trigger force that is required to make the fork compress. Picture 3
High Speed und Low Speed Compression
With some RockShox and FOX models you can adjust the high speed and low speed compression separately, i.e. the speed dependent damping.
High speed compression absorbs shocks which only affect the fork very momentarily, for example roots, stones or steps. The higher the high speed compression is, the greater is the protection against bottom-out. The low speed compression, however, counteracts loads which affect the suspension for longer periods, for example when riding through banked bends, during shifts of weight or when braking. The low speed compression prevents the fork from sinking further down which would result in a reduction of travel.
You can adjust the lowspeed performance with the small screws and the highspeed performance with the bigger screws.
With FOX RC2 models you can adjust the high speed compression on the upper blue adjusting wheel at the bottom of the right-hand fork stanchion. Picture 5 Picture 5 The low speed compression regulator is somewhat smaller and is positioned directly below it. Picture 6 On RLC models the blue low speed adjusting knob is at the top right of the fork crown. Picture 7
Certain Fox 36 forks and the Fox 40 have the possibilty to adjust high- and lowspeed compression. Picture 8
On other Fox spring elements you can adjust compression using CTD function.
You can set up high- and lowspeed rebound and compression on the Cane Creek Double Barrel damper. You can adjust the compression with the screws on the left hand side and the rebound with the screws on the right hand side. The screws on the right hand side are for adjusting compression. The lever is for switching on and off the climb switch fuction which suppresses pedal bobbing.
Adjustment of the Terralogic threshold
The Terralogic threshold adjuster is a blue knob fitted to the relevant FOX forks at the bottom of the left-hand stanchion.

Torii Hunter: Gay teammate would be 'difficult and uncomfortable'
Society has progressed when it comes to accepting people for who they are regardless of sexual preference, but sports locker rooms are still a place that have a ways to go.
Boxer Orlando Cruz recently revealed that he is gay, but there has yet to be an NFL, MLB, or NBA player who has come out while he was playing. Houston Texans running back Arian Foster feels people are more accepting these days and doesn't think it will be much longer before a football player comes out. Athletes who were considering making such a bold move might think again after reading Torii Hunter's comments.
Hunter is a four-time All-Star and has played in the majors since 1997. He was considered a clubhouse leader with the Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Angels, and he told the Los Angeles Times that having a gay teammate would be "difficult and uncomfortable."
"For me, as a Christian … I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right," Hunter told the Times. "It will be difficult and uncomfortable."
Kevin Baxter, who wrote a lengthy piece for the Times on gays in sports, described Hunter as saying that a gay teammate could divide a team.
It's a disappointing view from someone who seems to be so great at uniting his teammates. One would think that players would accept a teammate no matter what if the player helped them win games. Perhaps Hunter would change his mind if he learned that one of his past teammates was gay, or if a prominent player came out.
Even though many NFL players have recently said they would not have a problem with a gay teammate, the comments of Hunter and someone like Falcons receiver Roddy White tells us there would still be plenty of skepticism.
UPDATE: Hunter says he was misquoted by the writer.

Boat Test Videos
Content courtesy ofThe Gran Turismo line is built by Beneteau in France, and if we've learned one thing from them, it's that the folks at Beneteau have a knack for getting it right. The Gran Turismo 49 is rather unusual in as much as you can buy it with or without the flying bridge, and in a two stateroom or three stateroom version. One of the most noteworthy aspects of this boat is that it is one of the most comfortable riding boats in this class we have tested.
Prices, features, designs, and equipment are subject to change. Please see your local dealer or visit the builder's website for the latest information available on this boat model.
By Capt. Steve
The Performance
While handling the 49, it quickly became apparent that everything about the way this boat handled was different -- and for the better! By that I mean not pounding into a wave, but rather cutting through it, not slamming down in re-entry after catching air, and no over-wide turns at full speed as often occurs with pod drives. It seems clear to me that the design of the hull matched to the IPS pods really comes together in the 49 Fly. The first difference you'll likely notice is in the acceleration curve. Our 30,000 lbs. (13,420 kgs.) Gran Turismo 49 reached 20 mph in only 6.9 seconds. That is remarkable for a boat this long and heavy. While a fast time to plane is not in itself particularly useful in a boat of this type, it does dramatically illustrate that something fundamentally different is going on under this boat. With the twin 435-hp Volvo Penta D6 engines and IPS600 pods, we reached a top speed of 26.7 knots at 3450 rpm. At that speed we were burning 43.3 gph or 163.9 lph for a range of 191 nautical miles. Best cruise was found at 3300 rpm and 24.9 knots. Now we had a fuel burn of 38.30 gph or 144.98 lph for a range of 201 nautical miles.
Handling the 49
There was also a marked difference in the way the 49 handles. She seemed to have a much quicker response to the helm than I've come to expect. Twin pod drives had us cranking around in a very tight turn radius, but it did so with a gentle roll into the turn so neither I, nor the people onboard felt the need to hold on in order to prevent being tossed out of our seats. Likewise, none of the contents of the cupboards down below found their way to the deck.More importantly, the main benefit was in how the 49 handled waves. While it's true we had a relatively calm day on the Mediterranean, we did have a substantial amount of yacht traffic due to the breaking down of the Cannes international boat show. This provided me with more than my fair share of wakes to experiment with.
Powering straight into a 2' (.6 m) wake had me bracing for an impact that never came. We sliced through cleanly and effortlessly and continued on our merry way. Approaching from the backside of the wave had similar results, with no tendency to stuff the bow or push the stern off course. As a matter of fact, I did everything I could to try and get spray on the windshield and failed. The simple fact is, the more I drove this boat…the more I liked the way it handled. She doesn't pound, and when we came down after launching off some small waves the re-entry was cushioned.
Features a Walkthrough Flybridge
So now that we've determined that we have an exceptionally good handling boat, let's take a look at the features from the top down. The optional flybridge is well laid out for entertaining with a roomy L-shaped settee aft. There's a solid wood table that will transform the aft settee into a sun pad. In the folded position the table reveals a grab handle that serves double duty of supporting the table in the extended position.There is a hatch over the companionway that will allow you to lock out access to the flybridge when not onboard, and provide safety for younger occupants while underway. A safety rail surrounds the companionway as well.
The helm is forward and center-mounted with double bucket seats that swivel and slide. To the left is a Raymarine navigation display, and while it faces the captain, its location in front of the observer allows another person to take part in the navigation. The Volvo Penta engine controls are mounted nearly on the vertical, so if you activate any of the multiple options on the control module buttons, which are facing the deck, they will be difficult to see. Pulling up on the controls rather than pushing them forward is awkward.The entire starboard side of the flybridge is all seating that extends from the aft settee fully forward. The forward section culminates in a chaise lounge and a refrigerated drawer is located underneath the seat right next to the helm.
Side Decks and Bow Features
Accessing the side decks is a simple affair thanks to the grab handle at the aft end of the hardtop. Once on deck, a second grab handle runs along the hardtop, and by the time that rail ends, the side rails are at 30" (76.2 cm) high, which exceeds ABYC standards. There is a raised toe rail that does a very good job of keeping your feet in the center of the deck. At the working end of the bow, the deck slopes downward just a bit, while the rail stays level. This has the effect of increasing the rail height to 35" (89 cm) once you reach the ground tackle. I have to take my hat off to the designers for insisting on these high safety rails. Too many builders keep them low to make the boat look "cool." Unfortunately, they are not as safe.Fully forward there are two hatches that lead you to the optional windlass, and you are able to reach under the windlass through a hatch to manage any tangles that may occur. A nice touch is the foredeck that is covered in teak. A double-wide sun pad lies over the cabin, and it is in a fixed position. There are two rails to the sides and drink holders. Standing on the cabin roof showed a solid deck with no flexing or oil canning, even when I jumped up and down on it (for reference, I'm 180 lbs./81.6 kgs.).
Cockpit and Swim Platform
The cockpit measures 8'10" (2.69 m) x 7'4" (2.24 m) and features teak decking and a solid wood table that is on an electrically actuated lift that raises it to dining position, and lowers to sun pad level. A settee seats 6 and there's room for two deck chairs for two to three more. An optional entertainment center with sink, grill and icemaker is forward and to port. In the deck is a hatch leading to the engine compartment. Under the seats is storage that holds two life rafts. The swim platform can either be fixed or hydraulically lowered to form a beach or accommodate a PWC. The tender garage is standard and is big enough to accommodate an 8' (2.4 m) RIB with the outboard attached.
The salon features C-shaped seating on a raised platform. A table offers versatility in that it rises to buffet height, or lowers to dining height at the push of a button. It also slides in and out to allow for an easier time getting behind the table to sit. You can even stand behind the table and after sitting, slide it into dining position...very convenient. And naturally it folds up and expands as desired. To starboard is a credenza with storage cabinets below, and a retractable 32" (81.3 cm) optional flatscreen above.
Lower Helm
The lower helm really has it all, and for those who opt to not get the flybridge version, you'll be just as happy operating from this station as from the upper. The ergonomics are spot on perfect as far as I'm concerned, with everything falling right to the hand in a natural position. It was almost as if Beneteau had me positioned in the mock-up and used my hands to place the wheel and controls. Beneteau has taken non-glare panels to another level with a leather and suede panel housing the electronics packages. The look is outstanding. The opening side windows were a blessing on test day, allowing air to flow across the cabin.
The galley is centrally located in the accommodations deck and is well laid out, and even has some innovations. Under the sink are the trash bins (plural) which shows Beneteau's thoughts on recycling. Just to the left is a clever storage area that consists of wire shelving. When you pull one out, another falls into place, in effect doubling your storage capacity. There is a full sized refrigerator/freezer behind wood paneled doors, and just next to the fridge is a narrow set of cabinets with pull out storage that recesses into the cabinet housing. This makes for a galley with as much storage as much larger yachts I've tested. Our test boat was even fitted with an optional dishwasher, just under the silverware drawer.
Across from the galley is the sofa, and this is where the optional third stateroom would be located. Since there's plenty of seating on the helm deck and the aft cockpit, few would argue against the merits of losing the lower seating in favor of a twin berth stateroom. However, in our test configuration, we had a comfortable sofa and table. There's roomy storage above behind cabinet doors, and just below to either side of an opening portlight. There's storage under the companionway stairs, and this space will accommodate the combo washer/dryer. This is also the location of the air conditioning pumps, which makes more sense than putting them under a berth where they'll keep everyone awake.
Forward Stateroom
The forward stateroom has an island queen berth, with storage all around. There's natural light coming in from elongated hull side windows with opening portlights just abaft. An overhead hatch adds to the natural light. On the starboard side there's access to the head, and from the stateroom you would enter through the shower. A second access allows this head to double as a day head. Interestingly enough, this head has more storage capacity than most staterooms I've seen.
Master Stateroom
The aft stateroom is clearly the master. It's full beam with good headroom to the port side at 5'11" (1.8 m). A lounger is to port with a wonderful view out the hull side windows and it's on an elevated platform 10" (2.4 cm) above the deck. Above that step the headroom increases to 6'3" (1.9 m). As you come around to the front and starboard side, the headroom drops to 4'3" (1.3 m) and that's where I'd like to see a padded overhead as, yes… I did smack my noggin on it, but rest assured it only happens once. Considering the geometry of the deck above, and the fact that I'm not exactly going to be having a dance contest in this stateroom, I'm comfortable with ducking. The master has an ensuite head with very high ceilings at 7'10" (2.39 m). There's a separate shower stall with a seat, and Beneteau added the sinks to the top of the counter rather than recessed into the counters. It just provides more space for storage below and it is the stylish way of doing it these days.

Today for TWD we are doing a "rewind" -- this is one of my favorite recipes from Dorie's Baking From My Home To Yours. It was first picked for us at Tuesdays with Dorie to try by Mary at The Food Librarian, and you can find the recipe here at Mary's site if you do not have the book and are looking for an amazing banana cake / bread / bundt recipe.
I say banana cake or bread because this banana cake tastes like banana bread to my husband and ever since we made it with TWD back in August 2009 it has become "our" banana bread recipe. It is probably the most baked recipe from BFMHTY at our house, and it is picky husband's favorite banana bread.
He likes it plain, full banana flavor with no add-ins, which is delicious. I like it plain as well, but love it with add-ins, my favorites being coconut and chopped macadamias, which were add-ins in my previous favorite Hawaiian Banana Bread recipe. Don't tell that recipe, but this one with the add-ins is even better!
Sometime I switch out the sour cream for buttermilk, I've even used whole milk once before in place of the sour cream and this bread / cake still came out perfectly. I also like to add extra vanilla. If you are making minis this recipe is perfect as well, I think it would also work great in a plain old muffin tin or loaf pan -- although I haven't tried it yet, because a bundt is just so much more fun :)

Finally, those annoying KY commercials get a good mocking — and it's as absurd as it sounds.
Jacq Lesko, creator of the video parodies, spoke to HuffPo about her inspiration for the series:
I was inspired by the fact that this type of product, moist towelettes for a woman's "sweet spot", actually exists in the real world, as opposed to in the land of make-believe. I found it offensive that my "sweet spot", which I would come to understand meant "vagina," needed freshening up with scents other than my own and via a moist towelette, no less. The jokes were too good to die alone in my head. So, in response, I, along with Gretchen von Togeln, created a fake company called Lip Labs Ltd that makes Just for Her Vagi-Wipes, which are 'vaginal cleansing cloths for your vagina'.

Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) activists from throughout the country will converge Saturday, May 27th in Orlando at the Rosen Centre Hotel for the 2017 Biennial RLC National Convention. The convention will feature activist training, more than a dozen speakers and multiple information packed panels.
As we recently announced, our national convention is set to be held this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend at the Rosen Centre in Orlando Florida. Per RLC bylaws, any and all members of the Republican Liberty Caucus are automatically permitted to be delegates representing their respective states (as long as it is already chartered) but must have their dues paid at least 90 days before the convention takes place. That deadline is approaching in just a few days so it is urgent that you join NOW at www.RLC.org/join
In short, our goal is to "work within the Republican Party to move it in the direction of limited government, respect for individual rights, and a commitment to free market economics". To achieve that objective, our state charters, local chapters and national organization aggressively seeks to find, support, and elect candidates to public office who share our values. Thus, one way to achieve this objective is to elect liberty movement mayors, city/county councilmen, Governors, State House members, U.S. Senators and U.S.
Written by Tim Lynch; Director of Criminal Justice, Cato Institute
Today is Bill of Rights Day. So it's an appropriate time to consider the state of our constitutional safeguards.
Let's consider each amendment in turn.
The First Amendment says that "Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech." Government officials, however, have insisted that they can gag recipients of "national security letters" and censor broadcast ads in the name of campaign finance reform and arrest people for simply distributing pamphlets on a sidewalk.
There are no upcoming events.
The Republican Liberty Caucus is a 527 voluntary grassroots membership organization dedicated to working within the Republican Party to advance the principles of individual rights, limited government and free markets. Founded in 1991, it is the oldest continuously-operating organization within the Liberty Republican movement.

We know "an" is followed by a noun.
Where are the nouns in the sentences above?

But,in theses sentences:Originally Posted by Casiopea
"An estimated 2 million people were infected with HIV virus."
" By 1889 only an estimated 541 buffalo remained."
Consider the phrase 'a pair'. Notice the noun 'pair' is singular in number: 1 pair (singular); 2 pairs, 3 pairs (plural). In terms of semantics, 'pair' is not singular; It's plural: it represents two items e.g. a pair of shoes = two shoes. In terms of grammatical number, 'pair' is singular and 'pairs' is plural in number.Originally Posted by sharguar
An estimated number. (Note that, the noun 'number' is singular).
An estimated 2 million people. (Note that, the noun phrase '2 million people' is plural, but that it represents a singular noun, notably 'number')
All the best, :D

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT field hockey team earned additional accolades this week, on the heels of its incredible run in the NCAA Division III tournament, as Molly McShane was selected as the New England East Regional Player of the Year and a Second Team All-American by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA). In addition, teammate Keri Dixon, Anna Teruya and Kimberly Barker were named to the NFHCA All-Region teams.
McShane, a First Team NEWMAC All-Conference pick, along with Dixon and Teruya, played a pivotal role in the midfield for the Cardinal and Grey all year. A tremendous two-way player, she tallied eight goals and seven assists in 23 games as a freshman while helping lead MIT to the Second Round of the NCAA tournament. McShane's All-America selection represents Tech's first such honor since Deanna Lentz in 2004.
Dixon was tabbed as the top goaltender in the Region, as she was named to the New England East First Team. The sophomore posted impressive numbers, leading the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) in both goals against average (1.54) and shutouts (seven) while setting a school record for wins (18).
Teruya helped anchor a defense that surrendered the fewest goals in the NEWMAC, just 1.54 per game, and also acted as a dangerous offensive weapon, especially on penalty corners. The sophomore was third on team in scoring with 12 goals and 29 points while earning two defensive saves. Teruya was also named to the All-Region First Team in 2008.
In just her first season at MIT, Barker has quickly become one of the most prolific scorers in Institute history. The freshman attack set program records for goals and points in a single season, with 20 and 45 respectively. She finished second in the league in goals and third in points.
In addition to the NFHCA honors, McShane, Barker and head coach Cheryl Silva received recognition from the website womensfieldhockey.com. McShane was named to the All-America team while Barker earned the site's Rookie of the Year award and Silva was selected as the Division III Coach of the Year.
The Cardinal and Grey enjoyed its most successful season in the program's history, compiling a record 18 wins, capturing its first ever NEWMAC title and recording a Opening Round victory at the NCAA Division III Championship.

What a blessed journey it has been for me! I have served as parochial vicar and loved being a pastor in three culturally diverse parishes. Since 2007, I have served the Church of the United Sates as Executive Director of the Black and Indian Mission Office in Washington, D.C. The human eye has not seen, the human ear has not heard, "what God has prepared for those who love him" (2 Cor 2:9).
Our Mission Office is made up of three distinct but interrelated organizations, each with its own purpose and history, but all seeking to fulfill the one Mission to the Missions. Founded by the Catholic bishops of the United States, each organization cooperates with local diocesan communities to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ and respond to real and pressing catechetical, academic and new evangelization needs. They are:
• Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions (established 1874).
• Commission for Catholic Missions (the annual collection established 1884).
• Catholic Negro-American Mission Board (established 1907, united with BIMO 1980).
The Black and Indian Mission Collection, usually the first Sunday of Lent in most dioceses, was established by the bishops of the United States for the sole purpose of supporting the evangelization of Native Americans, Alaskan Natives and African Americans. This is the first and oldest nationwide collection in the American Catholic Church that funds dioceses who apply for grants.
I read applications from across the nation and award them to worthy recipients with the approval of the Black and Indian Mission Office's Board of three archbishops: Board President Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia, and Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore.
Where grants have been awarded, I visit parishes, religious education programs and Catholic schools. I celebrate Mass, talk with parish councils, pastors, principals, etc. Two recent experiences: During a visit to an African-American Catholic parish in the South, choir members were lined up in Church holding their hymnals (purchased with a small grant) and singing their hearts out. This was a powerful moment for me!
A second experience was the reception that Native American children gave me at a Church in the northeast at a Catholic Mission school serving the Ojibwe people. "Father, Father, come see our shrine to St. Kateri (Tekakwitha)," they said. With great pride, the children gave me a tour of their recently painted mission school. They sat me down to see their new first-through-fifth-grade religion books. At the parish church we prayed together at the Shrine of St. Kateri.
Baptized into the mission of Jesus, with the support of the faithful from coast to coast, we are able to distribute approximately 6-to-8-million dollars annually in grants. We provide stipends to our missionaries — priests, religious and laity — who are passionate in their service to the poor on reservations and in urban communities from the Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi, to the Diocese of Gallup, New Mexico.
I've loved my priesthood from day one — from celebrating Mass and sacraments with the people to administering a national evangelization program. I do count on you, my brother priests, for help. An invitation from you in the pulpit urging parishioners to be "stay-at-home missionaries" through their prayers and support of the national collection would multiply the good that is being done by the Black and Indian Mission Office. Read more about our evangelization work on our website, www.blackandindianmission.org, and join us in our Mission to the Missions!
FATHER PAYSSE the executive director of the Black and Indian Mission Office of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, 2021 H Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20006-4207.

Convicted Lockerbie bomber's ill-health was convenient for everyone with 'something to hide', author tells book festival
The cancer diagnosis of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing was a "gift from God" to the Libyan, British and Scottish governments, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi's biographer has said.
John Ashton, who recently published a book on the former Libyan intelligence officer, told the Edinburgh international book festival: "Megrahi's cancer was a gift from God for everybody involved that had something to hide.
"It allowed his release, it allowed the final stages of the rapprochement between the UK and Libya, and it allowed the Scottish government to allow him out of prison on a legal basis that wasn't one laid down by the hated government in Westminster. It was a tragedy for Megrahi but I think everybody else was punching the air."
Ashton was joined at the talk on the Lockerbie bombing by other high-profile critics of the case. Jim Swire, who lost his daughter in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103, and Dr Hans Kochler, the United Nations observer at Megrahi's trial in the Netherlands, also took part before a capacity crowd.
Megrahi was sentenced to life for the bombing, which killed 270 in the aircraft and on the ground around Lockerbie. He was released from prison on compassionate grounds in 2009 after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, and he died in May this year.
The course of events was a "political fix", Ashton told the audience. But he denied the trial was a "grand conspiracy" involving a range of security services and leading all the way to heads of state.
"What I say is, first and foremost, that the judges got it wrong, for whatever reason, and the Crown Office withheld evidence," he said. "I'm sure they did so in good faith but their behaviour was utterly incompetent and shameful."
The three men highlighted areas of evidence that they said undermine the case against Megrahi, including a break-in at Heathrow airport and discrepancies over his identification in a shop in Malta.
Kochler said he could not understand why Megrahi was found guilty but his alleged co-conspirator was not. "If such an argument, if such an opinion of court, was presented by a student in a seminar, he would not have passed because it is full of contradictions," he said. "They got it wrong. But the question is: why?"
Swire believes that a bomb was taken on board at London. "During the whole trial we did not know that Heathrow airport had been broken into 16 hours before Lockerbie happened, it seemed to me very likely that was the technology that had been used," he said. "The whole concept that the thing came from Malta via Megrahi's luggage or anyone else's seemed to me far-fetched."
The panel's comments underlined the gulf between those who believe in Megrahi's guilt and those who feel he was innocent or the victim of a miscarriage of justice. US relatives in particular were angered by the Scottish justice secretary Kenny MacAskill's decision to free Megrahi because of his terminal cancer.

Up to 25 Knots and Waves at Helsinki Worlds: This is What the Melges 24 is Made For
4 August 2017
August 3, 2017 - Helsinki, Finland - Sparkling sailing, with lots of sun and waves, characterizes the fourth day of racing in Helsinki, where the 2017 Melges 24 World Championship is going to conclude tomorrow.
PRO Madis Ausman and his Race Committee did an amazing job benefiting at the best from the heavy but still ideal conditions to add three more races to the championship series and bringing the total to ten. One and a half mile length and simple windward-leeward configuration created the perfect race course for an excited Melges 24 fleet.
Nothing changed in the top-three of the overall ranking, with Italian entry, Luca Perego's Maidollis ITA854 (2-6-2 today) with Carlo Fracassoli in helm, firmly maintaining the leadership with a margin of 22 points over Monsoon USA851 by Bruce Ayres (1-12-4), who scores the second bullet of its series today, and Andrea Racchelli's Altea ITA722 (6-1-6).
It is a great day also for the crew aboard Lucky Dog/Gill Race Team USA848 (3-4-1) with Travis Weisleder in helm: after an hard second day, where they had to withdraw from all three races because of the breakage of two halyards, the American entry is the most consistent boat of the day and scores three placements in the top five, climbing up from 44th to 24th position in the overall ranking.
"It was great to get a little revenge on our second day's breakdowns, but above all it was amazing to sail in these conditions: this is what the Melges 24 is made for! Sailing in the European fleet is great, and the U.S. representative is pretty wide: it's the perfect mix for a World Championship. If you add to this the fact that here in Helsinki hospitality is amazing, we have all the elements for a World Championship that will be remembered" - declared John Bowden from Lucky Dog/Gill Race Team.
The leadership doesn't change even in the Corinthian division, where the reigning World Champions aboard Marco Zammarchi's Taki 4 ITA778 (1-1-4) with Niccolo Bertola in helm enjoy the strong winds and increase to 13 points the margin of advantage over the main followers; which, though, are no more the Michael Tarabochia's crew of White Room GER677 (9-7-7): the Estonian entry Lenny EST790 (4-2-1) with Tõnu Tõniste in helm, in fact, takes home extremely consistent placements today and obtains the second level of the provisional Corinthian podium instead of White Room, which slips into third. Good results also for Jens Wathne's Party Girl NOR649 (2-3-2) that, thanks to the top-three results of today, climbs up from 11th to 4th position.
Tomorrow, the curtain is going to close on the 20th edition of the Melges 24 World Championship: two more races can be sailed for the conclusion of the series, but heavy rain and shifty wind are forecasted. The final preparatory signal must be given within 2.30 pm: depending on the weather conditions, the Race Committee will decide the best finale grande of the 2017 Melges 24 World Championship.

Tomorrow, second day of racing in the waters of Helsinki, the Race Committee will call the fleet on the race course for a first start at 11:00 am. Weather forecasts expect sunnier and windier windy conditions than those we had today.

Both pitchers gave up only three hits, but Tennessee Tech scored an unearned run to make the difference as Lipscomb's Lady Bisons lost 1-0 in a non-conference game Wednesday night in Cookeville, Tenn.
The second game was cancelled due to cold and wet conditions.
Danielle Catalano fell to 6-8 with the loss. She walked one, and struck out three.
Bonnie Bynum pitched for Tennessee Tech, earning the complete game shutout.
Julia Davidson had two of the three hits for Lady Bisons, one a double in the sixth which ended a string of 15 straight outs for Bynum. Davidson stole third base, but was left stranded when Jennifer Cannon ended the inning with a pop fly to second base. Jessica Wilson also had a double for the Lady Bisons.
Tennessee Tech scored in the sixth. Beth Boden reached base on an error after one out. She went to second when Ashley Potts walked. Kacy Bennett, Tennessee Tech's top hitter, singled to center to score Boden.
