LLANELLI TOWN finally halted a dismal run of four consecutive league and cup defeats, as they completed the double over their opponents, Penrhiwceiber Rangers, having secured an away 2-1 success in August. The home side were virtually at full strength with the return of players who had been injured, while Ian Evans, a recent signing from Bwlch Rangers, occupied the right back slot with Mark Napieralla still not ready for a start following a knock to his knee.
Despite the convincing final score, the visitors did cause problems for a Reds defence which still looks unsure at times, although goalkeeper Craig Richards was seldom seriously tested as Penrhiwceiber ran out of options in the final third. The contest was just eight minutes old before the Reds took the lead when an initial charge down by Luke Jones led to him finding Liam Samuel, and he in turn brought Sam Wade into play whose driven ball across the goal to the back post was turned in by Matthew Hughes.
A poor kick out by Richards then afforded the visitors their first opportunity when it fell into the path of Alex Jones whose effort from distance was not too far off target. Conversely, Hughes just failed to connect with a cross driven into the box by Samuel, before the lead was extended on 16 minutes following a short corner by Hughes, which was met by Declan John, and he curved a sweet finish over goalkeeper Alex Bailey into the top corner.
Three minutes later, the visitors found themselves three down when another award of a corner led to Samuel crossing into the middle for Jones to make a connection, which deflected past Bailey on its way into the net. Well in control and seemingly cruising to a win even at this early stage in proceedings, the home side were then jolted back into reality when their opponents were awarded a penalty on the half hour mark when Dean Brown was brought down by Richards as he pursued a back heel from Brandon Davies.
The Reds keeper was cautioned, and Brown himself stepped up to take the spot kick which he despatched past Richards into the bottom corner. Stung by this reverse, the hosts pushed forward and were rewarded by a fourth success in the 37th minute when Bailey failed to deal effectively with a cross by Hughes, allowing Jones to take full advantage and slot in the loose ball. Evan after this setback the visitors refused to lie down, and pulled themselves back into contention when they scored on the stroke of half time through Davies when he directed a ball from Matthew Glassy beyond Richards.
Even with a two goal cushion, it seemed as if the Reds would need to score first after the resumption to really settle matters, and they did just that ten minutes into the half with Samuel curling a superbly taken free kick from 30 yards beyond the despairing grasp of Bailey. Another set-piece six minutes later led to a further goal when John curled a corner on the left into the net between Bailey and his near post, and shortly after was denied his hat trick when the keeper beat out his strike on target.
They went close again with two attempts from John and Lee Bevan being cleared off the line, although at the other end they had Jamie Evans to thank from preventing Josh Evans from reducing the deficit when his effort went past Richards only for Evans to clear out of the goalmouth.
Evans was well placed again to break up another potential threat on goal when the visitors broke quickly, but the contest ended with the Reds relieved a miserable sequence of results had been finally halted and hopefully better times lie ahead. The Reds travel to meet Croesyceiliog next Saturday, kick off 2 pm. Prior to that, Stebonheath will host a FA Youth Trophy tie involving Swansea City and Sheffield Wednesday on Friday, with a 1 pm start.

Scarlets’ grassroots clubs show community spirit in delivering vital food packages
Scarlets community clubs have been working together to help deliver vital food packages across the region.
Volunteers from grassroots clubs and WRU girls hubs across Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire have been helping take the food packages to vulnerable members of society who are self-isolating during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The clubs have teamed up with the Scarlets Community Foundation — the charity arm of the Scarlets — and Carmarthen-based food wholesaler Castell Howell, while Scarlets players Osian Knott, Kieran Hardy, Ryan Conbeer and Jac Morgan have also lent their hand to the operation.
More than 300 packages were due to be delivered on Monday and Tuesday (April 6 & April 7), with the initiative highlighting that even without any action on the field, rugby clubs remain at the heart of their community.
Scarlets Community Foundation manager Caroline Newman said: “We have been overwhelmed with the support that we have received from local clubs, the number of people prepared to volunteer to help the most vulnerable in our communities has been touching.
“People’s reasons for requesting packs have often been heart-wrenching and it really has made us appreciate what we have.
“The foundation has worked closely with Castell Howell to make sure the packages are ready to go to those whose need is greatest, managing to turn things around pretty quickly and I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in making this happen, our funder, Castell Howell, all the clubs, our helpline volunteer and the foundation members.
“Great teamwork which has made me proud to be part of the fantastic community that rugby creates.”
Here are the rugby clubs and WRU girls rugby hubs taking part in the initiative
Aberaeron, Aberystwyth, Amman Utd, Ammanford, Burry Port, Betws, Bynea, Cardigan, Cefneithin, Felinfoel, Fishguard & Goodwick, Furnace Utd, Haverfordwest, Kidwelly, Llandeilo, Llandovery, Llandybie, Llanelli Wanderers, Llangennech, Llangwm, Merched Mynydd Mawr, Milford Haven, Narberth, New Dock Stars, Newcastle Emlyn, Neyland, Penybanc, Pontyates, St Clears, Stradey Sospans, Tenby Utd, Tumble, Tycroes, Whitland, Yr Hendy.
Wales v Scotland postponed
WALES’ Six Nations match at home to Scotland on Saturday has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The two other Six Nation fixtures had already been postponed and no date has been confirmed to complete the 2020 Championship.
The Welsh Rugby Union had insisted earlier on Friday the game would “go ahead as planned”.
A WRU statement read: “The Welsh Rugby Union has maintained an open dialogue with, and continued to seek advice and direction from, the National Assembly for Wales and other stakeholders, including the Six Nations, on this fast-moving issue.
“Whilst medical advice remains consistent, we have decided that it is in the best interests of supporters, players and staff to fall in line with recent measures taken across the UK and global sports industries.
“The WRU would like to thank all parties for their counsel on the subject and will make further announcements with respect to rescheduling the fixture in the coming days.
“Every effort has been made to stage this game and we appreciate that individuals will have been inconvenienced. Given the fluid and unprecedented nature of this issue a postponement became the only viable option.”
Domestic football at all levels in Wales suspended
THE FOOTBALL Association of Wales has today (13 March) taken the decision to suspend domestic football at all levels in Wales with immediate effect until April 4 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The intention at this time will be to resume the football schedule depending on the medical advice and conditions from the relevant authorities at that time.
The FAW is fully aware of the impact this will have on the domestic game but the health and safety of all fans, players, volunteers and stakeholders are of paramount importance.
The FAW will continue to monitor this situation on a day-by-day basis and will continue to provide updates when appropriate.

Orange County Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to name “more efficient policy” as the top reason they identify with their party, according to an OC Political Pulse poll.
Democrats, on the other hand, are more likely than Republicans to say the top reason for identifying with their party is “its ideals.”
“Ideals” was actually the top choice of partisans on both sides, but was far more often named by Democrats – 73 percent – than Republicans – 43 percent.
“More efficient policy” was named by 27 percent of the 181 GOP respondents. Just two of the 94 Democrats responding named “more efficient policy.”
The choice of “more integrity” had about the same popularity among the two parties, being named by 16 percent of Republicans and 18 percent of Democrats.
A pool of 51 Orange County independent and third-party voters, unsurprisingly, expressed skepticism at all of the above responses. Twenty-nine percent said “neither party has an advantage in these areas” and 24 percent said they preferred a third party. Fourteen percent favored the GOP because of its ideals, 12 percent favored Democrats because of its ideals, and 12 percent favored the GOP because of more efficient policy.
The responses of 104 Tea Party respondents closely mirrored the responses of Republicans.
Prager at the podium
House Speaker John Boehner and House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa were the big podium attractions at the California delegation’s brunch Tuesday in St. Pete, at the delegation’s hotel for the Republican National Convention.
But equally rousing at the podium was conservative radio personality Dennis Prager.
Prager preceded Boehner and Issa, and set the bar high, spending much of his talk defining Republicanism and drawing distinctions between the GOP and Democrats.
“This drives me crazy when they talk about compassion,” he said. “Who gives more charity? Republicans or Democrats? We give more charity, we volunteer more, we adopt more. … “
Part of his condemnation of most government handouts:
“You earn happiness. That’s why lottery winners end up unhappy. It’s better to earn a Chevrolet than win a Mercedes.”
Prager also spoke of how secularism and the declining role of religion in daily life are leading to lower birthrates, and pointed at Europe as an example. He dismissed the idea that fertility rates decline as populations grew wealthier.
“Rich Mormons produce a lot of children,” he said. “Rich Catholics produce a lot of children. Rich Jews produce a lot of children. Rich Evangelicals produce a lot of children.”
Delegate Scott Baugh, chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County, was dressed for his morning run and stood with me in the back of the tented pavilion for much of Prager’s talk.
“I love this guy,” said Baugh, who has featured Prager as a keynote speaker at one of the county party’s big Flag Day dinners. “His message is the Republican Party’s message. Everything he says is rooted in limited government and liberty.”
But what about Republicans who don’t share all of Prager’s conservative views?
“You have to have some standards and moderates deviate from that,” Baugh said. “You have core principles on the left and the right, and the moderates deviate from that. Dennis Prager speaks from our core principles.”

New rules enabling consumers in the European Union to access online subscription services such as Netflix and Sky Sports while abroad have been agreed.
Most consumers are currently unable to watch movies or football matches when visiting another country due to a practice called “geo-blocking”, which stops users from accessing their subscriptions when outside their country of residence.
However, under an informal agreement reached by the European Parliament and European Council late on Tuesday, such restrictions will be removed, allowing EU citizens to view online content while on holiday or travelling for business.
The European Commission first announced proposals in December 2015 to make it easier for consumers to access online services that provide music, games, films and TV shows while in another country.
The commission said at the time that it wanted to see an end to geo-blocking by bringing in pan-EU subscriptions and introducing a new regulation to enable cross-border “portability” of digital content.
According to the commission, almost half of internet users in the EU listen to music, watch videos and play games online. Many expect to be able to continue doing so while travelling in other member states.
With an end to roaming charges coming into force in mid-June, the numbers of Europeans accessing online subscription services via their mobile devices while abroad is expected to grow sharply.
The new rules will apply only to online fee-based services, although providers of free services also have the option of making them available EU-wide.
The agreed legislation will allow online content service providers to take “reasonable and proportionate measures” to verify the EU country of residence of the subscriber. A list of permitted verification methods includes checks on electronic identification, payment details, public tax information, postal address details or IP address checks.
Service providers will be required to inform customers of the verification methods used and take appropriate security measures to protect their data, the parliament said.
The rules now need to be formally approved by the legal affairs committee, the European Parliament as a whole and the European Council.
The European Consumer Organisation said the agreement was great news for internet users.
“Artificial barriers blocking you from using your online video, music or game subscription contradict the very principle of a single market. Today we are getting one step closer to a digital single market that delivers for consumers,” said the organisation’s director general Monique Goyens.

Spring Gala Raises Nearly $1.1 Million Supporting Access to Justice for Low-income New Yorkers
by Christina Overton May 3, 2019
On April 3, 2019, New York City’s legal and business communities gathered together to celebrate the work of the City Bar Justice Center and its partners to further justice for low-income New Yorkers. For over fifteen years, the Justice Center’s effective pro bono model has connected hundreds of thousands of poor New Yorkers with free legal services, providing life-changing access to justice.
This longstanding commitment to justice was reflected by the wide-ranging support for the event, which was attended by 440 people, sponsored by over 50 law firms and corporate legal departments, and raised a total of $1,072,129.06, surpassing last year’s Gala.
The event featured the outstanding achievements of AIG and DLA Piper, who received awards honoring their commitment to pro bono work and public service. Their pro bono partnerships with the Justice Center have had a life-changing impact on the poor and vulnerable New Yorkers the Justice Center serves.

Fans of 'The Apprentice' have called for a boycott of the show after Karren Brady voted in favour of tax credit cuts in the House of Lords.
Lord Sugar's aide on the hit BBC1 programme was one of 11 millionaires to back George Osborne's plans to slash tax credits.
But her actions appear to have angered many...
Others pointed out that West Ham football club, of which Baroness Brady is vice-chair, is having much of its new stadium paid for by the taxpayer.
Among those who also voted in favour of the cuts were bra tycoon Michelle Mone, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and Anthony Bamford, heir to the JCB empire.
The Chancellor was forced into a dramatic climbdown over his flagship welfare reforms on Monday after the government's cuts to tax credits were upended in the House of Lords.
The double defeat in the Lords could trigger a constitutional crisis, with David Cameron reacting to defeat by promising retribution, including a “rapid review” to prevent peers blocking fiscal policy in the future.

Suspected fraudster now accused of stealing funds from East Central booster club
The woman, Ashlee Ring, had been serving as treasurer of the district’s FFA/agriculture booster club, despite being under indictment in an unrelated felony fraud case, public records confirm. Ring has not been formally charged in the booster club case. “The booster club neglected to follow best practices in accounting procedures, such as requiring two signatures for every transaction. ECISD police records show the alleged booster club theft is being investigated as a misapplication of fiduciary property between $2,500 and $30,000, a state jail felony. Oliver said via email that because the booster club is its own organization, a criminal background check was not required for its members.

BARCELONA, Spain—On Monday, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai defended his decision to end net neutrality in the United States, claiming the regulation is needed to build out the nation’s next-generation wireless infrastructure.
On the first day of the Mobile World Congress technology trade show, Pai said rolling back Obama-era rules that could let telecom companies change how they throttle the internet was the right decision.
Pai’s remarks came during a broader talk on the future of 5G internet—a technology that could pave the way for faster video speeds, self-driving cars and a broader Internet of Things ecosystem.
“A third pillar of our strategy is closely related to infrastructure challenges. And that is market-based network regulation,” he said, adding that the “most important” move was to “reverse the previous administration’s decision to subject our 21st-century networks to 20th-century-style utility regulation.”
Pai pushed back on widespread criticism that he might negatively impact the open web. (It should be noted that Pai was supposed to speak at January’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but canceled after death threats.)
“The United States is simply making a shift from preemptive regulation—which foolishly presumes that every last wireless company is a competitive monopolist—to targeted enforcement based on actual market failure for any competitive content,” he said.
The timing of Pai’s speech is notable for a few reasons. Monday was the three-year anniversary of the implementation of the net neutrality, also coinciding with a major ruling by an appeals court over an ongoing lawsuit between the Federal Trade Commission and AT&T. The lawsuit—in which the FTC charged AT&T with illegally throttling internet usage from 2011 to 2014—is the first major test as to whether the FTC will honor its task of monitoring telecoms that try to be heavy handed with what users can or can’t view with their network.
In its ruling, the court reaffirmed the FTC’s ability to have jurisdiction over ISP activity, explaining that allowing the FTC to oversee “unfair and deceptive non-common-carriage practices” has “practical ramifications.”
“New technologies have spawned new regulatory challenges,” the ruling states. “A phone company is no longer just a phone company. The transformation of information services and the ubiquity of digital technology mean that telecommunications operators have expanded into website operation, video distribution, news and entertainment production, interactive entertainment services and devices, home security and more. Reaffirming FTC jurisdiction over activities that fall outside of common-carrier services avoids regulatory gaps and provides consistency and predictability in regulatory enforcement.”
Other panelists on stage—including Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure—were slow to disagree with Pai. Some audience members visibly bristled when one official from the European Union said it’s up to U.S. residents to decide the fate of the internet in their country; that remark caused one audience member to stand up and yell at the official during the discussion before a security guard intervened and asked the man to quiet down.
“The U.S. is not going to be the leader in 5G unless we can change that specific piece,” Claure said. “We’re talking about a massive investment.”

The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested a man identified as Dan’asabe Eddo, a 43-year-old man, for allegedly raping an 80-year-old woman in the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer ASP Ramhan Nansel, confirmed this development to journalists on Sunday.
The police disclosed that the suspect who is an indigene of Kaduna State but resides in Garaku in the Kokona Local Government Area of Nasarawa State went to the house of the 80year old woman who lives alone and forcefully raped her.
“One Dan’asabe Eddo, a 43-year-old man of Kubasha Village, Kagarko LGA, Kaduna, but a resident of Kundami Village, Garaku, Kokona LGA of Nasarawa State, nocturnally went into the residence of an 80-year-old woman who stays alone at the same village and forcefully had canal knowledge of her.
“Upon receipt of the complaint, Police operatives attached to Garaku Division immediately swung into action and got the suspect arrested. Upon interrogation, the suspect admitted to the commission of the offence and blamed it on handiwork of the devil,” the statement read in part.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Adesina Soyemi, has directed that the case be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Department, Lafia, for further investigations.

It is true, one of the most important aspects of our lives is who we surround ourselves with. It’s not just what we do, but who we do it with. We become a version of all the people that are surrounding us. So, knowing how important relationships are and the people we spend most of our time with, we wanted to leave you with a few tips for fostering healthy relationships.
To foster healthy relationships and encourage positive growth, we recommend focusing on the following:
Communication. Communication is key with so many aspects in life. You are better at your job if you know how to communicate effectively with your boss and coworkers. Friendship and relational partners are no different. If you know how to communicate, talk through how you’re feeling, listen to feedback, and be open to feedback, you will experience exponential growth. At Marshall, we are all about communication. Our team is a team of hired professionals. Trained to listen to you and your situation. We listen to you and help you understand your options.
Commitment. What is a relationship if it’s one sided? No one wants to be involved in a relationship of any kind if both parties are not invested and dedicated to one another. So, when looking at your relationships and who you are surrounding yourself with each day, are they just as committed to you as you are to them? It’s no secret that we are committed to you and your circumstance.
Respect. Sometimes we must give a little to get a little. In life, we all have relationships. We all have times that we don’t always see eye to eye with those that we are closest to. That is okay! If we all thought the same, had the same ideas, and weren’t unique, what would be the point?
It is important to respect your relationships and those around you. Especially because we all want to feel respected in return. It’s okay to agree to disagree.
At Marshall, we respect you. We respect your body, we respect your life choices, and we respect that your situation is like no one else’s.
If you are looking for someone to talk to, someone to listen, and to provide you with all your options, we are here to help! Contact us today.

TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors have pulled off one of the league’s biggest deals at the NBA trade deadline, acquiring Marc Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies for Jonas Valanciunas, C.J. Miles and Delon Wright and a 2024 second-round draft pick.
The blockbuster deal, which was completed late Thursday evening, brings a player long coveted by Raptors president Masai Ujiri to Toronto. It’s also a power move for a Toronto team looking to at least keep pace with Milwaukee and Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference.
Raptors guard Fred VanVleet spoke highly of Gasol shortly before Toronto tipped off against the Hawks in Atlanta.
"(Gasol) is one of the best fives in the league for a long time now, perennial all-star, defensive player of the year," VanVleet said. "Just really excited to see how we can acclimate him to what we do and see how much he can give us a boost. Obviously we’re very excited about that."
In a separate deal, the Raptors also sent veteran forward Greg Monroe and a 2021 second-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for cash considerations.
The 76ers and Bucks had made major moves ahead of Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline, the Sixers landing Tobias Harris and Milwaukee acquiring Nikola Mirotic.
As Thursday wore on, Raptors fans took to social media to implore Ujiri to make a major move.
And he did. It’s Ujiri’s biggest trade-deadline deal since returning to the team in 2013.
Gasol is a three-time all-star and the 2013 defensive player of the year. He’s averaging 15.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals a game, and his 4.7 assists a night is second best in the league behind Jokic. The seven-foot-one Spaniard is a two-time Olympian, and will be reunited with Spanish coach and Raptors assistant Sergio Scariolo in Toronto.
Gasol, who played 11 seasons in Memphis, is slated to make US$24.1 million this season and has a player option for $25.6 million next season.
Last summer, Gasol volunteered as part of a Spanish rescue effort in the Mediterranean Sea, plucking people from the water who were fleeing Africa. A photo showed Gasol helping lift a woman onto a stretcher. He voiced his "Frustration, anger and helplessness" on Twitter, writing "It’s unbelievable how so many vulnerable people are abandoned to their deaths at sea. Deep admiration for these I call my teammates at this time. â†•openarms–fund"
In Valanciunas, the Raptors’ lose of their most popular players. The 26-year, who was drafted by Toronto fifth overall in 2011, was finally cleared to play Thursday after missing 25 games with a dislocated left thumb. The team posted a photo of the big Lithuanian on social media with two words: "I’m back."
Valanciunas told reporters in Atlanta on Thursday morning: "I am really excited. I was really looking forward to this day and there you go. If nothing crazy happens, I will be playing."
Toronto guard Norman Powell said he will miss his departing teammates.
"We were in the foxhole when we weren’t getting minutes, talking about the process, and working to make an impact when we did get the time and growing together in the league, so it was definitely tough seeing guys like that go, but you just wish them the best," said Powell. "I’m sure they’ll make the most of a new opportunity and chance to go out there and prove themselves with another team."
The moves leave the Raptors with just 10 players under NBA contracts, and they must be at 14 within the next two weeks. They could convert one or both of their two-way contracts with Chris Boucher and Jordan Loyd to NBA contracts.
Ujiri, meanwhile, made two moves just prior to the 2017 deadline, acquiring Serge Ibaka from the Orlando Magic and P.J. Tucker from the Phoenix Suns. That Raptors team was swept by Cleveland in the second round of the playoffs.

Romney's pick for VP: Who's it going to be?
Portman, Rubio among list of rumoured contenders to fill Republican ticket
Mitt Romney has a problem. He hasn't even secured the Republican nomination yet, and the chattering classes are already going on about how his pick for running mate might make or break his campaign.
With months to go before August's Republican National Convention, that's all it is at this point — chatter. Fun, pointless chatter that keeps us politics nerds reading, retweeting and speculating for months.
And what's the harm in that? No one picked Sarah Palin four years ago, so the speculation net's being casted pretty wide this time around.
But after the fascinating, polarizing whirlwind that was Palin's selection in John McCain's ultimately doomed presidential bid, the overwhelming message to Romney's camp from this chatter is clear: No pressure, dude.
The speculation over the vice-presidential pick usually centres on what the media perceives as a candidate's weakness in the eyes of voters, either on issues (like changing your views on abortion, downplaying your own health-care reform record), biography (saying your wife drives "a couple of Cadillacs" and some of your friends are "NASCAR team owners") or even filling a geographic/electoral math hole (Ohio, Florida, step right up).
The VP pick is "all about either shoring up a weakness of yours to keep people from talking about it or emphasizing, 'Here’s what this election's about,' " said John Barry Ryan, a political science professor at Florida State University who conducts research on campaigns and media coverage of elections.
Whoever it is, the pick shouldn't be a drag on the ticket "because it will never be that much of a boost," he added.
Marco Rubio: The Republican version of a rock star, Rubio has recently tried to downplay talk of him being the Republican VP nominee. Last week, he praised Jeb Bush as a "fantastic choice" for the job, in what could be an attempt to show he's not trying to steal the spotlight from Romney.
"It’s like any relationship, in that you don’t want to look better than your partner," Ryan said.
Rubio, a rookie senator from the battleground state of Florida, could light a spark among the party's right-wing members who are less than thrilled with Romney's conservative credentials. Rubio, Ryan said, "has the ability to speak in a way that the further-right tea party parts of the Republican party like, but without doing it in such a way that alienates more moderate voters."
At the same time, Rubio could improve Republican attempts to build bridges with America's growing Hispanic community, whose members have traditionally favoured Democrats and likely still have fresh memories of Romney's tough stance on illegal immigration during the primaries.
The charismatic son of Cuban immigants who fled Fidel Castro's regime also brings a certain X-factor to the Republican ticket, in that he's "young, tells a good story and looks good," Ryan said. While selecting a Cuban-American from a state where the community has long held a position of influence will likely bolster Romney's chances in Florida, the move won't automatically deliver the Sunshine State's electoral college votes to the Republican ticket in November.
Rob Portman: Heralded as this week's safe pick, the Ohio senator has a legislative and budget background that could be used to emphasize the Romney campaign's message of being more qualified economic stewards than Barack Obama. Portman also represents a swing state the Republicans need to win to get back the White House.
Online news site Buzzfeed recently conducted an informal survey of Republican insiders and found Portman was their top choice for the vice-presidential slot.
But Portman was also head of the Office of Budget Management during the George W. Bush administration, and fiscal critics — especially conservatives — have long pointed to Washington's repeated failure to manage the behemoth federal budget at all.
Jeb Bush: Bush, a popular former Florida governor, brings his family's presidential pedigree and was rumoured to be a potential convention saviour for Republicans if Romney failed to secure the delegates needed to become the party's nominee. Bush effectively ended that dream last month by endorsing Romney after his win in the Illinois primary.
Bush could sit 2012 out for the sake of his own ambitions, Ryan said, citing whispers in Florida circles that Bush might want to run in four years. If he does, he wouldn't mind too much if Romney lost now.
"I see no advantage to him being the vice-presidential nomination because if they win, eight years from now, time may have passed him by, and if they lose, he's now known as the guy who lost with Mitt Romney," Ryan said.
But Bush could still say yes to secure a legacy beyond his state without all the pressures and scrutiny of being commander in chief. "Maybe he doesn’t want to be president, but wants that spot in history," Ryan added.
Tim Pawlenty: The former Minnesota governor, who was on the vice-presidential short list for McCain's 2008 campaign, ended his own presidential campaign last August after failing to generate any enthusiasm for his bid.
Popular among tea party conservatives and Romney's campaign, Pawlenty won't overshadow the presidential candidate in a way similar to Palin's presence over McCain in 2008.
Paul Ryan: A fiscal hawk, and vocal critic of Obama's health-care legislation, the Wisconsin congressman's stature has continued to grow in the party and had sparked talk about a 2012 presidential bid. As chair of the House of Representatives budget committee, Ryan is the public face and private crafter of the Republicans' most recent budget proposal, which was immediately blasted by Democrats.
For all his profile, many within the Republican establishment view Ryan's latest budget draft as a "political disaster," Ryan said.
Nikki Haley: The youngest governor in the nation is viewed as a rising star in the Republican party. Haley, the governor of South Carolina, has been a vocal supporter for Romney in her home state. Nevermind that he lost South Carolina's primary to Newt Gingrich.
For her part, Haley, a South Carolina-born Indian-American, recently said in a lengthy profile in Vogue magazine that she would decline the VP nomination if offered.
Chris Christie: The firebrand New Jersey governor and former prosecutor is highly popular in Republican circles for slashing government spending and taking on unions since being elected in 2009, so much so that many in the party wished Christie had run for the top of the ticket. Instead, he's stumped for Romney during the primaries, often as the candidate's warm-up intro act.
And the big guy sure can warm up a crowd. At a New Hampshire Romney event in January, Christie shot down female Occupy hecklers with a Jersey comeback that was perhaps too PG-13 rated for presidential campaigns and showed Christie might burn a little too brightly standing next to Romney.
Kelly Ayotte: Elected to the Senate in 2010, Ayotte, a former New Hampshire attorney general, has been an early Romney backer and represents another crucial state for Republicans in November's presidential election.
"Romney's probably got to win New Hampshire" to win the presidency, according to FSU's Ryan, who cited the state's electoral votes as key for George W. Bush in the hotly contested and still controversial 2000 presidential election.
"You get a woman from New Hampshire, a pick that the news will spin as smart. It will give him a good couple of weeks, and she won’t embarrass him on the campaign trial and won't look more interesting than him."

The frantic efforts of nearly two dozen people saved an 11-year-old Perris boy who was digging a tunnel deep beneath the sand in Manhattan Beach when it collapsed, firefighters said Monday.
The boy, who was submerged head-first, was not breathing when pulled from the 6-foot hole Sunday evening, but was revived by a doctor on a family outing at the beach.
“I was scared,” said David Austin, a Manhattan Beach physician who performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the boy. “He was under there for so long. … He was deep under there.”
Manhattan Beach interim Fire Chief Ken Shuck said reports from the hospital Sunday night were that the boy was awake and doing well.
Shuck called him “a very lucky young man.”
The boy, identified as Evan Navarro in a Daily Breeze website post by a commenter who said she was the mother, had dug two holes about 10 feet apart in the sand near Eighth Street with the help of his cousin. Trying to create a tunnel, the boy dug each hole diagonally about 6 feet deep, Manhattan Beach fire Battalion Chief Dave Shenbaum said.
The boy was in the hole on his knees scraping out sand to unite the holes when the tunnel collapsed around him about 6:50 p.m.
He was completely covered in sand.
“It took awhile for the sister to recognize that it had collapsed,” Shenbaum said. “She turned to a man playing with his son and said, ‘I think my brother is under here.'”
The man, Austin’s brother-in-law, Mark McDonald, was throwing a football with his 7-year-old son, Jaden, when a girl who was about 12 approached him. She appeared panicked, saying her cousin was buried under the sand.
“I run down there and there’s definitely a hole but there’s nothing but sand,” McDonald said. “She said, ‘He’s under there! He’s under there!’ I started frantically digging, not knowing where he might be.”
As McDonald scooped out sand, more kept falling into the hole.
He soon saw the boy’s dark blue bathing suit poking out of the sand.
“I started pulling on that,” McDonald said. “At that point, I told the girl, ‘Go get the lifeguard!'”
The lifeguard soon joined him. Together they stood in the hole, scooping out sand and trying to tug on the boy’s waist.
But as they dug, more and more sand kept covering the boy.
McDonald told one of the older boys to run and get help. Before long, 20 people joined in.
Finally, they removed enough sand to reveal the boy’s buttocks. He was buried in a kneeling position, as if bowing and praying.
The lifeguard grabbed hold of Evan’s body. Austin grabbed the boy’s leg. McDonald held onto the lifeguard. They yanked as hard as they could and pulled the boy out.
“He did not look alive,” McDonald said. “He was limp, blue, just kind of flopping around. In my mind, since I was there from the start, it felt like it took way too long and there was no way this was going to be successful.”
Austin, a family practice doctor at UCLA medical offices in Manhattan Beach, said the boy was nonresponsive, his lips were blue and his skin pale white. He did have a pulse.
Austin began cardiopulmonary resuscitation with the help of another doctor at the beach, Brad Thue.
“I was giving the mouth-to-mouth and a lot of sand was in his mouth,” Austin said. “He then, after probably a minute or two minutes, started breathing on his own.”
McDonald said he was sitting on the sand, spent from the digging. A number of the boy’s panicked family members were nearby.
“Everyone was saying, ‘He’s breathing, he’s breathing,'” McDonald said.
Lifeguards brought oxygen for the boy, who vomited a couple of times. Lifeguards then handed him off to paramedics, who took him to County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
“When they left him, he was awake, answering all questions and breathing on his own,” Shenbaum said.
Attempts to speak with the boy’s family Monday were not successful.
In the website post, the woman who identified herself as the boy’s mother, Yvette Navarro, said he was doing well.
“We are thankful to all who help to save my son’s life,” she wrote. “He is home and is doing great. Thank you again to all.”
Firefighters estimate Evan was buried under the sand for about five minutes. Irreversible brain damage from lack of oxygen occurs in four to six minutes, Shenbaum said.
“So it was the great work, the combined efforts of the public working with the lifeguards that truly saved this kid’s life,” Shenbaum said.
McDonald, 44, said he was happy with the outcome, but on Monday he was trying to forget what happened.
“Obviously I feel good he survived,” he said. “From my end, it was pretty traumatic.”
Firefighters and lifeguards credited the beachgoers with rescuing the boy.
“To me, the public were the heroes,” Senior Chief Terry Yamamoto said. “They are the ones who came in and started the initial digging.”


A derelict building on London Road could be brought back to life as a 150-apartment complex, new plans have revealed.
The building is located between London Road Fire Station and the Hooters bar.
A hand car wash, Car Jacuzzi, which is also on the proposed site would be demolished as part of the plans.
The complex would also provide shared communal facilities including a lounge, gym and secure parking for cycles and cars.
The apartments will be aimed at new graduates who are leaving university to enter the world of work.
Passers-by were excited by the plans.
Mark Roper, 50, of West Bridgford, said: "Houses or apartments in the city centre are always welcomed I think. It's good for businesses in the area and the city as a whole to get people living here, working here and spending money here.
"There's a lot of development in the area what with Bridgford House being turned into apartments on Trent Bridge. So I think it's exciting news for the city."
The name of the proposed development is currently planned to be Chainey Place. This is reference to the historic Chainey Pool that was previously on the site.
Jeremy Dillon, a 24-year-old designer, of Nottingham city centre, said: "I live in a bit of a shabby flat near the station so this sounds really promising if it went ahead.
"I will definitely keep my eye on it and look at prices. I work in Nottingham so I want to stay as city centre as I can. This would be perfect for that.
"I reckon they would be snapped up pretty quickly due to the location. If they are in my price range I'll be interested."
Sarah Gregory, 28, of Lenton, said: "I think it's good that the building will get done up. It looks a bit of a state at the minute so it would be good to see it brought back and used.
"People will always need places to live and this is a great location. I think it's a great idea."
Details in the design and access statement said: "The current condition of No. 66 London Rd is very poor.
"The exterior of the building has fallen into disrepair and the interior is unsafe in it’s current condition.
"This provides the opportunity for development to enhance the existing streetscape by cleaning and making good the facade and rebuilding the interior in accordance with the proposed scheme.
"The demolition of No. 68 has left an empty plot on London Road which is currently being used as a car wash.
"This is not a suitable use for this prominent urban site and could be better utilised.
"The proposed scheme would continue the regeneration of this area that has already been started with the adjacent buildings and provide a much better visual impression at this busy route into and out of the city.
"It is intended that the proposed development be marketed towards post graduate rental who are looking to secure accommodation upon leaving university and starting work.
Would you like to see the building transformed into 150 apartments?
0+ VOTES SO FAR
"This is in line with the Graduate Retention Partnership that includes NTU, the University of Nottingham, Nottingham County Council, Nottingham City Council and the N2 Skills and Employment Board Champion, Boots UK.
"This group aims to increase the graduate retention rate for Nottingham, which is currently among the lowest of all the core cities in England."
Plans were submitted to Nottingham City Council by Cassidy Group Ltd on October 9 and are pending consideration.

Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried (D) has called for a Florida statewide mask order in response to the skyrocketing cases of COVID-19 in the sunshine state.
Directing a statement to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), Commissioner Fried argued that “with 31,299 new cases in the past week alone, Florida has emerged as a new hotspot for COVID-19.” She added that “while this pandemic threatens to spiral out of control, our leadership is rushing headlong into further re-opening the state.”
Commenting that “we must take basic protective measures immediately,” Friends called “on the Governor to issue a statewide order requiring masks to be work in public places.”
She said that “this is common sense, violates no one’s liberties, and follows the lead of 18 other states like North Carolina, Kentucky, and New York.”
“If we’re to beat this virus together, we must all act together, with all Floridians doing their part,” she concluded.
The call comes at a time when Florida added 5,508 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, which brings the statewide total to 114,018 overall cases. Currently, the state’s positivity rate is at 15.91%, which is up 2.3% from May 17’s numbers. And, the World Health Organization has signaled that a state should have a positivity rate of under 5% for 14 days if it is to continue reopening.
Fried and Democrats note that this is a concern because Governor DeSantis has moved to the next phase of reopening 64 of the sunshine state’s 67 counties.

- Tezos price has defended a critical support level and aims for a rebound.
- The digital asset is on the verge of a significant breakout towards $5.
- Several indicators have turned in favor of Tezos in the short-term.
After a significant sell-off, XTZ bulls managed to hold its price above a key support level at $3.2. Several indicators show that the digital asset is poised for a leg up above $4 in the short-term.
Tezos price on its way to new highs in the short-term
Tezos has defended a crucial support trendline established at $3.2 and aims for a rebound towards $5. The next resistance barrier is located at $3.8, which means that a breakout above this point should swiftly push Tezos price towards $5.
XTZ/USD 6-hour chart
There is additional resistance at $4, which is a psychological level, and the 50-SMA. The MACD has also just turned bullish for the first time since early February, adding credence to the bullish potential bounce to $5.
On the other hand, if XTZ gets rejected from the top trendline at $3.8, it can quickly drop towards the previous support level at $3.2. Losing this point would drive Tezos down to $3.


Transport Water Treatment in Fish Meal Installations with Decanters
Protection of the world‘s oceans
In Peru, a country with an important fish industry, the government has introduced environmental legislation, including a requirement for all companies in the fish meal industry to employ better treatment for effluent which is generated. This has been practiced very successfully by the largest fish meal manufacturer in the world, namely Technología de Alimentos S.A. (TASA), using a special decanter from GEA.
Processing transport water
Fishing vessels discharge their haul directly into the factory from the vessel via large pipelines. Sea water is used as the transport medium. When it is pumped through the pipelines, this transport water becomes contaminated with fish particles and fish oils. In its 17 fish meal factories in Peru with a total capacity of around 250,000 tons of fish p. a., TASA produces between 80 and 150 tons fish/h.
Approximately three times this quantity of water is required for conveying the fish from the fishing vessel to the factory. This is equivalent to a pump water quantity of around 250 to 450 m³/h in the various production facilities. Until several years ago, this pump water which contained oils, fats and solids, was discharged untreated into the sea. At the end of 2007, TASA then installed a processing stage at its location in Pisco-Ica with a capacity of 140 tons fish/day; the main aim of this installation was to recover the oils, fats as well as the solids contained in the water so that they could be further processed in the production process.
For this purpose, the pump water is initially floated in a DAF unit (dissolved air flotation), and is then processed via two threephase decanters. These machines separate the transport water into oils and solids, which can be further processed, as well as effluent.
Second treatment stage
However, the water remaining from this initial flotation process still contains excessive levels of oils and fats (3000 to 5000 ppm) and solids (8000 to 10,000 ppm). However, in its new legislation, the Peruvian government has specified values of 1500 ppm oils and fats and 2500 ppm solids specifically for the fish meal industry. But this is not enough: in four years, these figures will be reduced further to 350 ppm (oils and fats) and 700 ppm (solids).
Further effluent treatment using a second flotation unit was necessary for this purpose, with subsequent effluent clarification using a two-phase decanter. The focus is not on recovering the oils and fats; instead, the overriding objective is to ensure that the clarified phase has to be as clean as possible before being returned to the sea. For this purpose, TASA employs decanters with new technology using polymer flocculants.
Only with the introduction of the new technology was it possible for the two-phase decanter to be used for this application. With this technology, separation was increased from between 50 and 60 percent to between 95 and 98 percent. The solution functions as follows: the level of liquid in the decanter has an effect on the clarification performance. This so-called pond depth can be regulated by means of regulating rings in the discharge of the clarified liquid. If the aim is to achieve a high degree of clarification, the pond depth has to be changed. If an optimum pond depth is achieved, the turbulence in the settled solids is reduced, and there is an improvement in the caking of the oil which is still contained in the effluent to the solids as well as the settling behavior of these solids.
Legal requirements have been more than met
With the installed decanter, TASA is able to recycle a very clean centrate back into the second DAF unit. In practice, the legal requirements are more than met. This extensive processing of the pump water in the Peruvian fish meal factory can be transferred to the world-wide fish meal industry, specifically in South America and Asia in order to minimize effluent discharge values and to protect the ocean, which is the basis for fishing and fish processing. In the next fishing season, there are plans for even more extensive trials with decanters in order to improve clarification even further. For a clean ocean.

NASCAR using Air Titan drying system to clean up
KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) - The surface of Kansas Speedway got quite the facial earlier this week.
NASCAR has been experimenting with the Air Titan track drying system as a way to deep clean the pores of the asphalt prior to race weekends. Kansas received the treatment on Wednesday, a day before the Sprint Cup teams went through a tire test for Goodyear.
The fourth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship is Sunday.
“It does a good job of getting the sand and the silt out of it, the oil that’s saturated and baked in there,” said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president of competition. “We did Chicago. We did Richmond. And those tracks it appeared better when we opened up opening day.”
NASCAR chairman Brian France last year asked his engineers to develop a faster system for drying tracks, and the result was the Air Titan. It uses compressed air to push water off the track and down to the apron, where vacuum trucks remove the rest of the moisture. Jet dryers follow.
It was tested at Daytona in February and has been used a few times throughout the season, including after a brief thunderstorm that delayed Thursday’s tire test at Kansas.
Turns out that it does a nice job of cleaning up a racing surface, too.
“We did it at Phoenix also two months ago when we were testing, and it’s incredible,” Pemberton said. “You can only imagine when you go to a place like Phoenix over the years, the first 30 minutes of practice was basically useless to a team, because the track surface, no matter how hard they blow it, you couldn’t get into the pores.
“We used the Air Titan to prep the track before the tire test and a few of the drivers who were out there came to us after the test and said the race track was 2 1/2 seconds faster early on than it was any other tire test they were running. They were up to speed sooner.”
Pemberton said it’s possible that the Air Titan system will be used elsewhere to help remove some of the debris _ the dirt, rubber and oil that seeps into a track _ that can harm performance.
“You’d be surprised at the amount of stuff that naturally comes out of the track,” Pemberton said. “We’re experimenting with some things and it’s just another advantage of having that piece of equipment available to us, and we’ll see what happens.”

Maybe they don’t want to judge. Maybe it’s fear of hypocrisy. Or maybe they assume family dysfunction and breakdown are inevitable. It happens or it doesn’t. Families do well or badly, stay together or split, fight or thrive.

As in real life, injuries and illnesses are common and require prompt attention to prevent further complications. In this guide, we will discuss how to heal dwarves in dwarf fortress.

Monitoring Dwarf Health
The game provides a health screen that allows you to monitor the health of your dwarves. To access it, press the ‘z’ key and select the ‘health’ option. This screen displays the overall health of your dwarves as well as any injuries or illnesses they may have.

This beautiful quilt top was made by Carol and she has kindly agreed to me running a block drive using this design. It’s a great one for using up scraps so I’m hoping to reduce the mountains of scraps I seem to collect. Are you in for another scrappy project with me?
This quilt is made from two different blocks - each block measures 8.5” square.
The first is made from four dark coloured 4.5” squares, sewn together in a four patch.
The second block is made from sixteen 2.5” squares. Eight low volume squares, and eight brightly coloured ones. Arrange them and sew in rows, as below:
1st row: LV - Bright - Bright - LV
2nd row: Bright - LV - LV - Bright
3rd row: Bright - LV - LV - Bright
4th row: LV - Bright - Bright - LV
The position of the low volume and bright squares then makes the chain pattern across the quilt as though can see in the top photo.
Sew rows together to make an 8.5” block unfinished.
Thank you ! Our quilts make a difference to the lives of young looked after people and are really appreciated.

You'll most definitely stay for dessert. As the oldest restaurant in Live Oak, the Dixie Grill is guaranteed to be a full house come lunch hour.
Myra Thomas, the co-owner, says, "We like to have everyone come and eat with us. We do a good job with our food and we like to think that's one of the main reasons they come.”
Seymour Chotiner says he started coming to the Dixie Grill about 30 years ago, back when coffee was only 10 cents.
Seymour says, "We had a coffee club that would meet every day in the morning in the afternoon. We'd play a little game to see who would pay. We still do it, but coffee is now a dollar."
Patrons say the home cooked food is great, the service is great, even the prices are great, but everybody knows what truly tops the list, the coconut pie.
Lavon Andrews, a pie lover, says, "They are my favorite, they're my family's favorite. It's really good. If you ever get a chance to come to Live Oak, you need to come and try the coconut pie."
Whether you go for the sweet dessert or the sweet conversation, it's no doubt the Dixie Grill is the place to be.

If you're a NASCAR fan, there's a date you'll need to circle on the calendar.
It's February 18. That's when NASCAR 14 will launch in North America for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, as publisher Deep Silver recently announced over the weekend.
Developed by Eutechnyx, the latest NASCAR entry will cost $50 when it hits store shelves, and it will faithfully recreate all the best highlights from the entertaining 2013 season. The game will also feature Career Mode, official teams and tracks, and online multiplayer and leagues.
Said Deep Silver COO Geoff Mulligan:
"Deep Silver is releasing the best NASCAR racing experience yet to hit video game consoles. Fans will soon be able to compete in recent high profile races, experiencing the exact same conditions the real drivers faced. With an aggressive post-release content plan, NASCAR '14 is a game NASCAR fans can enjoy all year long."
I've never been a big NASCAR fan but I've known some big-time followers…they're pretty damn serious about their favorite sport. Don't say anything about "driving in circles" around those people; they'll rip your head off. They kinda have a right to do that, though, as it is indeed a lot tougher than just "driving in circles." And it's a lot more complex, too.
