FOXBOROUGH — Bill Belichick declared — repeatedly — on Wednesday the Patriots were “on to Cincinnati,” and on Sunday night, it certainly looked like his team heeded his words.
The Patriots trounced the Bengals, 43-17, in a game that helped allay fears of the Patriots’ demise and showed once again that previously undefeated Cincinnati isn’t quite ready for prime time.
“It was a satisfactory night tonight,” Belichick said of beating the team he said earlier in the week was the most complete he’d seen in a while.
“It was awesome, man. It was very awesome,” Darrelle Revis said. “It showed a lot of heart that this team has and we knew we needed this win. It was against a great football team. They were undefeated and we just wanted to get this one at home and secure this win.”
The Patriots’ offense, much maligned in recent weeks, especially in light of its anemic showing six days earlier in Kansas City, showed an immediate fire, getting into the end zone on its opening possession.
Not only was it the first time this season New England scored on its first drive, it was the first time the Patriots didn’t go three-and-out on their first drive.
The Patriots got into the end zone doing two things we haven’t seen much: They ran the ball and got some chunk plays. The first play of the game was a 20-yard completion to Brandon LaFell, and on the fourth, Tom Brady completed a 30-yard pass to Tim Wright, who had been invisible in recent weeks.
In between, Stevan Ridley picked up 16 yards on two carries. Brady even had 10 rushing yards, notably picking up 4 when the Patriots went for it on fourth down at the Bengals’ 5. Ridley finished off the drive, punching the ball in from the 1.
For the night, Ridley had 27 carries for 113 yards; the Patriots are 39-1 in the Belichick era when they have a rusher top 100 yards.
Cincinnati, which came into the game undefeated (3-0) and off its bye week, got a reprieve on its first drive when a Revis interception was taken off the board because both Revis and Bengals guard Clint Boling were flagged for penalties. The offsetting calls led to a replay of the down.
The Bengals stopped their momentum with a third-down false start on right tackle Andre Smith, and kicker Mike Nugent was short on a 52-yard field goal try.
The Patriots took over at their 42 and made quick work of the short field, though Brady was nearly picked off by Emmanuel Lamur on a sideline pass intended for Julian Edelman.
Crisis averted, Brady followed up with a 27-yard catch-and-run to Rob Gronkowski, and then a 17-yard touchdown to Wright, his first as a Patriot.
On the pass to Gronkowski, Brady surpassed 50,000 career passing yards, just the sixth player in league history to hit that milestone.
After the touchdown to Wright, the Gillette Stadium crowd began chanting, “Brady! Brady!” and the chorus of Aloe Blacc’s “The Man” (“Go ahead and tell everybody/I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man”) played briefly over the loudspeakers.
The chants continued throughout the game, as fans perhaps wanted to show their support for the quarterback who has led their team to so much success but has been playing behind a substandard offensive line and with some average-skill players. Brady is not blameless in the struggles the Patriots have had on offense, even he would say that, but he’s not working with a stacked deck, either.
But the fans weren’t the only ones.
“ ‘T. Guns’ is ‘T. Guns’ for a reason — you don’t throw for 50,000 yards by accident,” Matthew Slater said. “He works at his craft, he loves the game of football. He comes out, plays with passion, and it fires our team up.”
“[Brady] came back strong and showed them that he’s still a young buck and he has a lot in his tank left,” said Gronkowski (six receptions, 100 yards, one TD), who looked better Sunday than he has this season. “I’m proud to be playing with him and it was awesome [hearing] all those Brady chants out there. It was just a good game overall with a lot of teamwork.”
Though the Patriots are taught to “ignore the noise,” Brady acknowledged that the players have television and the Internet, and it’s impossible not to hear or see some of the things that are said about them, good and bad.
But he stressed it’s been a strength of this team that they don’t really go along with the waves of emotions those outside Gillette Stadium might be feeling.
“We try not to focus on that stuff,” Brady said. “To ride the ups and downs — ‘you’re great, you suck, you’re great, you suck’ — it’s exhausting.”
The New England defense forced back-to-back three-and-outs from Andy Dalton and the Bengals’ offense, and shut the visitors down in the red zone after that, forcing them to take a short field goal from Nugent for their first points of the night.
Dalton is now 2-5 in prime-time games, 2-8 counting his 0-3 postseason record.
Cincinnati had just 121 yards of offense at halftime to 256 for the Patriots. The Bengals seemed to get away from the run despite having dynamic back Giovani Bernard and power back Jeremy Hill.
The Patriots added two more field goals to end the half, the second coming after a Revis forced fumble that was recovered by Jamie Collins. The play was highlight-reel worthy, mostly because after Collins’s recovery, he also fumbled, and Alfonzo Dennard plucked the ball out of the air and nearly scored.
But by rule, the ball was brought back to where Dennard recovered it.
The Bengals cut the Patriots’ lead in half with a one-play touchdown in the third quarter, a 37-yard pass to Mohamed Sanu, but they never threatened again, as the Patriots put 14 quick points on the board, thanks to a touchdown drive punctuated with Gronkowski’s second score of the night.
On the ensuing kickoff, former Patriot Brandon Tate, the Bengals’ kick returner, had the ball knocked out of his arms by Brandon Bolden, and Kyle Arrington scooped up the loose ball and ran it 9 yards into the end zone.

What role would service clubs and community groups have in Timbertown into the future?
Currently community groups play a substantial role at Timbertown, in that many groups have sheds on site that they work from etc. The role that community groups and perhaps service clubs play into the future will largely be determined by the feedback obtained from the community, but also by the operating model for Timbertown that is determined to be the most sustainable into the future. This question cannot really be answered until such time as the current Timbertown review is complete and options are developed.
Can the works at Timbertown be staged over a number of years?
The staging of works may be one option that comes out of the current round of community consultation, however there are still some compliance issues with various buildings and other OHS issues that need to be addressed immediately and this may dictate whether the work can be staged or not.
The reality is that Timbertown has had no major capital injection for many years and this has largely led to the position the park now finds itself in today. Council has a duty of care to all staff, volunteers and visitors and must take every step to ensure all our buildings and utilities etc are compliant with 2009 standards. In light of this, Timbertown cannot continue in its current state and needs an injection of funds to achieve compliance etc.
How did Council come up with the $15 million amount?
Council has done a series of estimations for all the work required at Timbertown that are based on mnay reports done by Council and independent advisors.
There is an estimated $7.75 million required to get the park to a compliant standard, based on recent costs. There is an additional estimated figure of $7 million required on top of the above-mentioned $7.75 million to enhance the park and to add new attractions and customer experiences. The items that go to make up this $7 million came from community consultation that took place in February 2009.
Further detailed on these estimations are availabily in the document library.
Why is the steam train no longer running at Timbertown?
For the past decade, the train has been run for Council by a Contractor. In April 2009, the Contractor gave Council notice that they were ceasing operations for a variety of reasons, hence the reason the train is currently only a static display.
Because the train is run in NSW, it must comply with standards set down by the Independent Transport Safety & Reliability Regulator (ITSRR). The Rail Safety Act of 2008 and related Regulations force the Timbertown train to have to comply with the same standards a Sydney suburban train or the XPT would have to comply with. The accreditation that is given by ITSRR is not given to one individual, it is given to a company or organisation and it is not transferable from one body to the other.
Council had no options in being able to take-over the accreditation from the previous Contractor as it is not allowed according to the Regulations and ITSRR. For Council to be able to run the train again, Council would need to apply for formal accreditation with ITSRR, which is a very costly and time consuming process. Council could not buy or have transferred accreditation for the train as it is simply not allowed in NSW.
Is the Timbertown land owned by Council without any restrictions?
Council owns the entire 87 acre site where Timbertown is located without any restrictions on the sale of the land. The Certificate of Title for Timbertown does not include any caveat that restricts the sale of the land.


Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) plans to unveil its virtual reality headset next week at the Game Developers Conference. No details are known in advance, but some game designers who have already tried the device are reported to have said that the upcoming VR helmet is considerably more advanced than Oculus Rift from Oculus VR.
Earlier this year a Sony executive “nearly” confirmed the existence of Sony’s virtual reality headset. Now, the Edge Online reports that Sony will demonstrate its VR technology at the GDC 2014 next week, which re-confirms that Sony is working on a helmet for the PlayStation 4 and possibly the PC. It is expected that the VR gear will be revealed during the GDC session titled “Driving the Future of Innovation at Sony Computer Entertainment”, which will be hosted by Richard Mark (senior director at SCEA R&D), Anton Mikhailov (senior software engineer at SCEA R&D) and Shuhei Yoshida (president of SCE Worldwide Studios).
Richard Marks and Anton Mikhailov helped develop PlayStation Eye and Move, so they know a lot about “immersive” gaming. Shuhei Yoshida is one of the key spokespeople at SCE at the moment. The combination of the executives and engineers generally point to a new technology introduction.
Sony has reportedly supplied the first prototypes of its VR gear to select third-party game developers. Those software makers revealed to the Edge that Sony’s VR headset was “far superior to Oculus Rift’s first incarnation”. Still, Oculus VR is about to ship its code-named Crystal Cove VR devkit, so it cannot be said that Sony is ahead of Oculus VR technology wise.
In case Sony does not change its plans and announces its entrance into virtual reality gaming next week, this will be a very significant news for the industry. Sony is a leading gaming platform holder and a major game publisher, once it begins to promote the tech with games, they are going to get a lot of attention from the masses.
Since VR headsets have not become widespread, third-party game developers will unlikely invest a lot of money into development of games for them initially, but will wait for huge conglomerates like Sony or Microsoft do their first moves.
KitGuru Says: Sony has a lot of experience with head-mounted displays. Therefore, a VR helmet should not be a huge problem from a technological standpoint. The bigger question is whether Sony’s VR helmet will only be compatible with the PlayStation 4, or will also be released for PCs. On the one hand, Sony needs to sell PS4 and does not need to sell gaming personal computers. On the other hand, Sony will need to promote the VR tech in general and give a taste of virtual reality to everyone.

President Trump has risked damaging relations between the U.S. and the U.K. after reportedly taking a stinging shot at Prime Minister Theresa May’s approach to Britain’s "Brexit" negotiations with the European Union -- saying in an interview that he would have taken a "tougher" approach.
Trump made the remarks in an interview with host Piers Morgan to be broadcast Sunday. While the interview has not yet aired, Britain’s Mail on Sunday reported that Trump criticized May’s approach to the talks ahead of Britain’s departure from the bloc in 2019.
“Would it be the way I negotiate? No, I wouldn’t negotiate it the way it’s [being] negotiated… I would have had a different attitude,” he said, according to the Mail.
“I would have said that the European Union is not cracked up to what it’s supposed to be. I would have taken a tougher stand in getting out,” he added.
Morgan confirmed the outlet’s reporting by tweeting the story out and adding that Trump “has criticised Theresa May & the British Government for their handling of Brexit negotiations.”
The interview will likely increase pressure on the already-embattled prime minister, who has been criticized for her handlings of the negotiations from both pro-E.U. and Eurosceptic forces in the U.K. She has also faced opposition from members of her own party after the Conservative Party was wounded by weaker-than-expected results in the 2017 general election.
Trump’s remarks are also likely to damage an already rocky relationship between the two leaders, just days after the pair sought to present a unified front at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump said he wanted to correct a “false rumor” that they were not getting along.
“[May] and myself have had a really great relationship, although some people don't necessarily believe that. But I can tell you it's true,” Trump told reporters on Thursday. “I have a tremendous respect for the prime minister and the job she's doing. And I think the feeling is mutual from the standpoint of liking each other a lot.”
“We are very much joined at the hip when it comes to the military. We have the same ideas, the same ideals,” he said before turning to speak to May directly. “There's nothing that would happen to you that we won't be there to fight for you.”
May was similarly glowing in her praise of what she called a “really special relationship between the U.K. and the United States.”
“In fact ... stronger because we both face the same challenges across the world, and as you say, we're working together to meet those challenges,” she said.
Fox News later confirmed with 10 Downing Street that officials are working together on finalizing the details for a U.K. visit by Trump this year.
In the interview to be broadcast Sunday, Trump added that he predicted the Brexit result, and that he understands the concerns about immigration that led to the vote.
‘I know the British people and understand them,” he said, according to the Mail. “They don’t want people coming from all over the world into Britain, they don’t know anything about these people.”

Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic reckons his side have never had a more-settled and productive pre-season in the A-League club's six-year history.
The Wanderers will be looking to prove it, too, when they meet Blacktown City in Wednesday night's sold-out FFA Cup quarter-final.
Traditionally slow starters in the A-League, the Wanderers want to make an impact from the outset and appear to have laid down the right foundations to do it.
For the first time, Popovic has been able to finish his recruitment plans early - meaning his players won't have to adapt to each other on the fly when the real action starts.
"That's something we've always tried to do but it doesn't always happen," Popovic told reporters on Tuesday.
"It's not something that's critical to your success, but it's an important part of helping players gel quicker.
"All of the players are fit and healthy ... That's been the best thing about the pre-season so far."
Popovic has brought in four new foreigners - Spanish trio Oriel Riera, Alvaro Cejudo and Raul Llorente, plus former Wellington midfielder Roly Bonevacia - along with experienced locals Michael Thwaite, Josh Risdon, Chris Herd and Mark Bridge.
They have won their past seven pre-season clashes, including two FFA Cup fixtures, with their only blemish being July's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal.
Popovic is braced for another stern test against Blacktown. The NPL NSW side beat Central Coast in the round of 32 and also toppled the Phoenix in a recent friendly.
Thousands will cram into the Lily's Football Centre - official capacity 7500 - to see if they can claim another big-name scalp.
But with the state-league season long finished and Western Sydney nearing optimum fitness levels, it could well be a one-sided contest.
"They're a very well-run football club; they've had a lot of success over a long period of time. It's a great moment for them," Popovic said.
"We know it will be tough. They'll get the respect they certainly deserve but we're expected to go through, as we should be.

Morningstar's Jim Leonard explores how well Citi has managed to clean up its balance sheet since the depth of the crisis.
Morningstar's Christine Benz highlights key considerations in the decision to annuitize a pension or take a lump-sum payout.
The coming year could bring some unexpected news from the Fed, on the home front, in the job market, and more, says Morningstar's Bob Johnson.
DoubleLine CEO, CIO, and portfolio manager Jeffrey Gundlach says if Citigroup was too big to fail, then so much greater is the risk for asset managers operating with multiples of that market cap.
The transaction involves approximately 3,000 accounts and $1.7 billion in assets under administration, which represent non-target business for Citi Private Bank's trust business.

GRAMMY-nominated rapper Travis Scott will donate proceeds from merchandise sold at this past weekend's Hangout Fest in Gulf Shores, Ala. to Planned Parenthood, he announced during his performance on Friday.
"We feel for those out in Alabama," he said in a video taken by an audience member during the performance. "I love y'all and I just want everyone to know that love is the strongest thing we can have."
The donation announcement was made days after Alabama passed HB 314, a law that punishes doctors who perform an abortion with up to 99 years in prison. Scott did not directly reference any law passed in the state during the statement, Pitchfork reports.

Guardian Alliance Technologies Opens Platform to Private Firms Conducting Public Safety Background Investigations
Move helps Private Investigators Better Serve Their Public Safety Clients
February 19, 2020
Silicon Valley, CA (February 20, 2020) – Today, Guardian Alliance Technologies broadened their efforts to improve the quality of public safety background investigations by allowing private background investigation firms (PI) access to the Guardian Platform.
The Guardian Platform, a Software as a Service in use by public safety organizations across the country, was built with input from professional background investigators and is designed to streamline and improve the pre-employment background investigation process for public safety agencies of all sizes. The Guardian Platform provides advanced information management tools, including Artificial Intelligence used for social media screening, to help agencies conduct a comprehensive assessment of public sector applicants efficiently, accurately, and cost-effectively, representing a quantum leap forward in conducting background investigations.
“Making Guardian available to PI firms is another example of how Guardian can help to protect the integrity of the law enforcement profession,” said Ryan Layne, CEO of Guardian. “Not only does the use of Guardian streamline the investigation process, saving precious time for the investigators, resulting in completion of investigations more promptly, it’s use has been proven to increase overall thoroughness and accuracy of investigations, further ensuring the overall quality of new personnel. In addition, use of Guardian provides investigators with the ability to eliminate a dangerous blind spot through use of our integrated social media screening features, which can significantly reduce the exposure to liability for their clients.”
Fred Freeman, president of The Freeman Investigative Group based in Seal Beach, CA, states “Since my firm started utilizing the Guardian platform, it has completely modernized the investigative product for our clients and improved the quality of the investigations we’re conducting. Applicants have taken to the platform very easily, and we have identified issues that we would not have located without use of Guardian, which shielded our client from liability that they most certainly would have been exposed to without the use of this platform. Guardian staff made the transition exceptionally smooth, our clients are happy, and the minimal cost of the system has been easily absorbed by saving investigative time in review and report completion.”
With this move by Guardian, any firm conducting public safety backgrounds will be able to direct applicants to Guardian’s Triage Center at no cost. In the Triage Center, applicants fill out their background information in Guardian’s proprietary Personal History Questionnaire (PHQ), one of the most comprehensive PHQ’s in the country. The Guardian Platform then generates a data-driven “Concerns Report” from information entered into the PHQ allowing investigators to quickly sort out which applicants qualify for a full background investigation and which ones don’t – without spending a dime.
In addition, all PHQ’s submitted through the Triage Center are stored in Guardian’s National Applicant Information Center and can, therefore, be checked by other members of the Guardian Alliance Network investigating the same applicant(s) in the future. Among other things, that means a candidate rejected by one Guardian agency is not able to change their PHQ answers in secret in order to get hired by another.
About Guardian’s Social Media and Online Screening Features
Guardian screens the entire publicly available web. Whether it is social media, web results, or paid subscription databases, Guardian can help identify problematic behavior among potential hires and current employees by analyzing publicly available online information. Our technology helps businesses identify thousands of job-relevant behaviors, such as racism or harassment, without exposing hiring managers to unnecessary risk or manual work, identify problemati behavior before it becomes an issue.

I’m a 36 year old female and have been having investigations for about 9 months after a rheumatologist (he was looking into Raynauds, determined no underlying condition was causing it) noticed my platelets were slightly elevated. They have consistently been between 480-550 for at least a couple of years now.
No secondary cause has been identified, JAK2 and other genetic testing was all negative, bone marrow biopsy showed “normal” marrow and platelets.
The consultant I saw at my last appointment said they are leaning towards my blood just being like this naturally, that in order to get the “normal” range for platelets and take an average, some people will just naturally sit outside that.
Has anyone any experience of falling into this category or know of anyone who has? It’s obviously reassuring in one way, but in another I’m left worrying that something has been missed and that this is going to be hanging over me.
I have a history of blood cancer in my family and of other cancers, of relatives that were around my age, so it’s hard not to worry and just put it to the back of my mind.
Thanks for reading/listening!
Hi @ZoMoo, thank you for posting and welcome to the Forum. I am sure that you will feel supported here. From a clinical perspective it is very reassuring that all the appropriate tests are normal. Are you still being monitored by the Consultant that arranged all the testing for you? It is understandable that you worry particularly if you have a family history. If you would like any support or to discuss your worries please do contact the Support Services Team Blood cancer information and support by phone and email | Blood Cancer UK. Take care Gemma
Hi Gemma, thanks so much for replying!
Yes, I haven’t been discharged by the consultant, I’m due to have another review in 3 months time. I know logically that what they are telling me is good news and that there’s no real point to me worrying, it’s just harder said than done when there doesn’t seem to be a black and white answer.
Hi @ZoMoo a great big welcome to our forum and thanks for posting.
I cannot help you medically but your anxiety of not knowing and not being in control of events, answers and the tidy way forward then I certainly know those feelings and I expect others do to.
I also know my anxiety about family history too.
If you would like to talk to someone the Blood Cancer Support line is there for you apart to the bank holidays and the holiday weekends.
We are all here to support you on this forum and please let us know how you get on.
Hello again @ZoMoo, I am really pleased that you haven’t been discharged as having regular reviews can be reassuring, particularly as time passes. Do get in touch if you need any more support. Take care Gemma

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A fraternity at the University of New Mexico that has been suspended while the school investigates misconduct allegations will not re-open.
Graduate trustees of the 80-member Phi Gamma Delta chapter house at UNM decided Friday to shutter it permanently because recent behavior of members “were inconsistent with the fraternity’s high standards and values.”
The Albuquerque Journal reports that Phi Gamma Delta is among three fraternities the school put on emergency suspension this fall due to various allegations. Investigations in all three cases are ongoing.
A university official has said that Phi Gamma Delta faced allegations related to alcohol and hazing.

La Cosecha, an expansive new food and retail center around the block from Washington D.C.’s Union Market is soon to open for business, and it’s poised to be a game-changing Mid-Atlantic hub for modern Latinx culture and dining. The new market is scheduled for an official opening in September.
Honestly, it’s hard to know where to start because everything sounds so crave-worthy. There’s Ali Pacha, a plant-based restaurant whose head chef Sebastian Quiroga hails from Bolivia; the first Ali Pacha in La Paz has had food critics swooning ever since the “menu first-look” pre-opening event.
There’s also Christian Irabién’s establishment Amparo, featuring modern Mexican cuisine that will challenge your culinary expectations. Born in Chihuahua, Irabién explained on social media that Mexican food is rooted in traditions but ever-evolving. “In Chihuahua, we had Chinese neighbors, Italian neighbors, a big Jewish community. There’s a lot of food being cooked using Mexican products that’s not in restaurants [in the U.S.] because anything that falls out of the mold of a taco isn’t considered Mexican.” He proceeds to tantalize future diners by describing one of his signature dishes, a homemade ravioli stuffed with requesón and served with a sauce made from roasted poblanos.
Also be on the lookout for Grand Cata, a wine bar featuring natural wines from across Latin America; FILOS Bakery, whose German-Mexican-Italian owner Francesca Arienzo bakes classics and mash-up versions of pastries and such that reflect her homeland of Mexico and the traditions of European bakers; and Café Unido, a Panamanian coffee roaster who is dedicated to making tasty coffee for D.C. coffee snobs while improving the communities of its coffee growers.
Brazil-born Carolina Furukrona, owner of La Cosecha’s first retail shop Nova Bossa, will be showcasing fashion, crafts, and other goods that are imported from South America, products that reflect both the tastes of the modern consumer as well as the communities from which they came. Furukrona told the Washington Post that she makes a point to be an ethical retailer that honors Latin American communities rather than simply capitalizing off of their work for profit. “Is it paying fair wages?” she considers. “Is it appropriating culture, or is it doing it the right way?” She shared that she felt that La Cosecha embodies these considerations as well, presenting pan-American culture through a fresh lens that she and the developer of La Cosecha both described to the Post as “sophisticated.” “It’s about time that we had something like this that celebrated our culture. I think a celebration of food and fashion and design and community is not controversial. It’s not partisan. But it’s timely.”For Image credit or remove please email for immediate removal - firstname.lastname@example.org

Juelz Santana Talks Studio Raid
As recently reported, Juelz Santana’s New Jersey recording studio was raided after a ten month long investigation surrounding Skull Gang member MC Hynief.
During the raid, police found several guns and other paraphernalia, resulting in the arrest of Hynief.
Juelz called in to Chicago’s Power 92 to discuss the matter.
“They said they found some things in the studio, which I had no idea about,” says Juelz. “We’ll see how everything plays out.”
Juelz also apologized to Chi fans for missing a show due to the legal setbacks.
“I truly want to apologize. I know it’s been all over the internet, police ran up in my studio and I had to deal with that for a couple days, so I managed to miss the show,” Juelz stated sympathetically. “But Chi town, you already know I love you. I’m going to make it up some how some way because that’s like a second home to me.”

There is an increasing number of wrist blood pressure measurement devices that successfully passed the validation procedures of the British Hypertension Society (BHS) and the European Society of Hypertension (ESH). It remains unknown, however, whether pulse pressure as a marker of arterial stiffness and vascular ageing affects the accuracy of these devices. An ESH protocol validated wrist device was compared with the upper arm mercury sphygmomanometry in a study population (33 patients, 99 measurements) including a relevant number of subjects with pulse pressure >50 mm Hg (84.8%) and isolated systolic hypertension (27.3%). Mean systolic bias was 10.2 mm Hg with 95% limits of agreement of -13.1 and 33.6 mm Hg, mean diastolic bias was 4.8 mm Hg with limits of agreement of -11.0 and 20.7 mm Hg. The impact of body mass index, age, systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure on the absolute value of blood pressure bias was tested by stepwise multiple regression analysis. The systolic bias significantly depended on pulse pressure, whereas there was no significant effect of the independent variables on the diastolic bias. Separate correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between pulse pressure and both absolute systolic bias (Pearsonr= 0.48,P<0.001) and relative systolic bias (systolic bias divided by systolic blood pressure, Pearsonr= 0.29,P= 0.003). Even well-validated wrist blood pressure devices can show a clinically relevant bias in patients with elevated pulse pressure. Increased arterial stiffness may impair the accuracy of oscillometric blood pressure measurement at the wrist.

With Forfar leading 1-0 thanks to a Donna Paterson header, Lori Gardner appeared to be upended in the box for a stonewall spot kick, but the referee waved away the Women of Steel’s appeals.
“It was completely the wrong call,” Motherwell Ladies assistant manager Stewart Hall told the Times and Speaker. “We watched the footage back and it’s a stonewall penalty in my opinion.
“Lori cut in, skipped by the full-back and as she cut into the box, the Forfar centre half has put her leg out.
“Lori has gone by before the leg has come out and knocked Lori over.
“She was about to go and have a shot straight after it, and in my opinion it’s a stonewall penalty, and it was at a crucial point.
“If we score the penalty and it becomes one-each, then I’m sure we would have capitalised on it and could have scored two or three others.
“When it was still 0-0, Forfar had a bit of incentive to try and shut up shop, defend their own 18-yard box and stop conceding another goal.
“We were pushing and pushing, leaving a gap at the back which they capitalised on by making it 2-0 four minutes before half-time.”
The hosts’ second strike arrived on 38 minutes when London Pollard rounded the keeper and scored.
Motherwell hit back before half-time through Lauren Gallon’s fine shot into the top-left corner.
But it was 3-1 10 minutes into the second half when Paterson slotted home a penalty awarded for Roberts’ challenge from behind.
Forfar’s lead was increased to three goals when Pollard slotted low into the bottom right corner on 69 minutes.
’Well then scored when Gallon poked in after a corner had been flicked on.

Though major U.S. airlines have reported billions of dollars in losses for the quarter, Seattle-based Alaska Air Group is faring better...
Though major U.S. airlines have reported billions of dollars in losses for the quarter, Seattle-based Alaska Air Group is faring better than most.
Yesterday, Alaska Air, parent of Alaska Airlines and regional carrier Horizon Air, reported only a relatively small net loss for 2004. If one-time charges are excluded, it achieved an operating profit for the first time since 1999.
The news was welcomed by officials of the unions that are currently in difficult labor negotiations with the company. Alaska has asked for $112 million in concessions from employees.
In the most contentious of the contract negotiations, with Alaska Airlines baggage handlers, the company provided some breathing room by extending for 60 days a Jan. 31 deadline for deciding whether to outsource the work.

Separately, executives said Alaska may order three 737s from Boeing this year.
Company executives, while pleased with the progress toward financial viability, insisted that the small operating profit amounts to a break-even outcome that doesn’t lessen the need for the wage and benefit concessions.
“After adjusting for unusual items, 2004 breaks a four-year trend of losses for Alaska,” said company president and chief executive Bill Ayer in a conference call with Wall Street analysts. “It’s gratifying to see that we are in the black by even a small amount. The actions we are taking are working.
“However, a break-even company cannot survive in the long run,” he added.
For the fourth quarter of 2004, Alaska Air reported a net loss of $44.9 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $16.1 million, or $0.60 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2003.
For comparison, American Airlines lost $387 million in the fourth quarter; Continental lost $206 million; Northwest lost $412 million; and Delta lost $2.2 billion.
For the full year, Alaska Air reported a net loss of $15.3 million, or $0.57 per share. The previous year, thanks in part to government compensation, the company posted profit of $13.5 million, or $0.51 per share.
Alaska’s 2004 losses included a restructuring charge due to severance payments for the 900 employees whose layoff it announced in October. It also included a large one-time accounting charge connected with the company’s fuel-hedging position.
Excluding such one-time items, the company’s profit after tax for 2004 was $5.2 million.
Chief financial officer Brad Tilden said that, on the same basis and adjusting for accounting policy changes to make the numbers exactly comparable, the company had lost $31 million in 2003; $68 million in 2002; $88 million in 2001, and $20 million in 2000.
An operating profit of $5.2 million on $2.7 billion in revenue amounts to a 0.2 percent profit margin. “It’s break-even, basically,” Tilden said.
On that same basis, the last time the company made an operating profit was in 1999, when it earned $129 million or a 6 percent profit margin — “a healthy profit in a healthy industry,” Tilden said.
In contrast, Ayer during the conference call described the airline business today as “a difficult and permanently changed industry.”
To cope with the new environment, Ayer is pressing for labor deals to dramatically reduce the company’s costs. Thursday, he pushed out one immediate labor crisis.
Alaska had said it might outsource the jobs of 500 baggage handlers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and had set a month-end deadline. But in a letter to the International Association of Machinists (IAM) union, the company said it would not lay off any of the baggage handlers for 60 days while talks continue.
“Our preference remains to achieve a negotiated settlement” with the IAM, said Dennis Hamel, vice president of employee services, in an e-mail update to Alaska staff yesterday.
Representatives of the Air Line Pilots Association and the Association of Flight Attendants welcomed yesterday’s earnings results.
“This is really positive considering what our company has been through. We’re encouraged,” said pilots association spokeswoman Tara Elkins. “We feel we’re poised for growth.”
On this, management agrees.
Alaska Airlines is taking delivery this year of three new Renton-built Boeing 737-800s. On the conference call, CFO Tilden said that the company’s board has given authority to acquire three more of the jets.

Bowl game invites more proof that college sports are big business
Virginia Tech (Randall Dunn and Joey Phillips pictured
STEVE HELBER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Visit the Photo Place
Even three decades ago, it would have been unthinkable to invite a team with a 6-6 record to play in the post-season, but Tech gets to go.
Why? Because those who do the inviting know that the Hokies always have a large following and fans bring money to a bowl game and the city in which it is played.
There are other major-college teams with better records, but they would put fewer students and alumni in the stands. So Tech gets the bid.
That's what major college football and basketball is all about these days--money. Big money. How big? Well, the University of Maryland may have to pay the Atlantic Coast Conference as much as $50 million to leave that league and move to the Big 10.
A tremendous amount of money for a college team to pay? Apparently not. Although the Terps are challenging the ACC's departure bill, those in the know say that even if Maryland has to pay the full amount they will get that money back--and more--very quickly in the Big 10.
We have reached a point where football teams with mediocre records get bowl bids and schools jump from one conference to the other without batting an eye. Quality and tradition mean little today. Money is the key.
To say that major college football and basketball programs should still be awarded amateur status is quickly bordering on the ridiculous. The amount of money these programs generate is incredible.
Yes, some of that money--brought in from television revenue, ticket sales and the peddling of school-themed clothing and other merchandise--goes to fund other low-profile school sports.
But with many major-college football and basketball coaches basking in the sunshine of multimillion-dollar contracts and stadiums with multimillion-dollar scoreboards getting more and more lavish, we can be sure that all that revenue isn't being used to buy soccer balls and softball bats.
Let's face it: Major college football and basketball has been transformed from "Rah, rah, rah-go team!" Saturday afternoon get-togethers to huge businesses.
Then, too, major-college football and basketball teams have pretty much become the minor leagues for the NFL and the NBA. Unlike baseball, which has its own farm system, pro football and basketball teams allow colleges to develop their talent.

Imprisoned Anarchistic Art Collective VOINA Interviewed by Don't Panic—NSFW after the jumpJuxtapoz // Wednesday, 29 Dec 2010
Putting a phallus on a KGB building in St. Petersburg, Russia will get you arrested, as is the situation with anarchistic Russian art collective VOINA. A few weeks ago, we talked of Banksy donating funds from his "Choose Your Weapon" print to the legal defense for VOINA. Now, Don't Panic UK have interviewed two members. Oleg Vorotnikov and Lenja Nikolaev, as they await trial for, wait for it, "hooliganism."
This isn't the first act of controversy from the group. VOINA has performed a group orgy on exhibition, public hangings, public performance art in the subways, and public videos (one of which you can watch below).
As Don't Panic wrote, "Voina (or 'War' to give them their English name) are a radical art group concerned with challenging the Russian establishment on important political issues such as attitudes towards homophobia, race, and the totalitarian actions of the state, through creating outrageous and provocative art performances in Russia."
Here is a good exchange in the piece:
What is the inherent philosophy of the group?
AP-S: Every activist of the group has his/her own philosophy. In the political aspect we, of course, sympathize with anarchists, socialists and in general with all left-wing radicals. But first of all we are artists – not politicians or philosophers. And using our artistic methods we destruct the outdated repressive-patriarchal symbols and ideologies.
Oleg Vorotnikov: In Russia we have created the left-wing art front. Our aim is to revive the vivid political protest art.
Leonid Nikolayev: Our art-group is struggling with the socio-political obscurantism and the right-wing reaction.
Thank you to BoingBoing.

The Tigers have designated right-handed pitcher Austin Adams for assignment, tweets Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic. A corresponding move has yet to be announced and will likely come after the All-Star break. The move will clear a spot on Detroit’s 40-man roster.
Claimed by the Tigers off waivers in May, Adams got a chance to earn a spot in a Major League bullpen with Detroit, but it now appears that his time with the club is nearing its end. Splitting 2019 between the Twins and the Tigers, this season is the first time Adams has pithed in the Majors since 2016.
Adams has pitched 14 innings with Detroit this season, largely failing to produce in that small sample. He’s walked more batters than he has struck out, contributing to a below-average 5.14 ERA. His minor-league numbers have been much more impressive this season, having struck out 28 batters in 18 innings at the Triple-A level. He may remain in the Tigers organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers, and could otherwise be traded or released.

A High-Stakes Census
FOR most Americans, the findings released by the Census Bureau last week can seem simply a matter of curiosity, as we trace the ongoing shifts of populace from the Frost Belt to the Sun Belt, from the interior to the coasts, from cities to exurbia. But for state, city, and county officials, the census numbers set off two frantic weeks of peering at maps and poring through computer printouts. In statehouses and on Capitol Hill, too, the numbers receive careful scrutiny.
The new figures are the last preliminary data to be issued by the Census Bureau before it reports the official results of the 1990 headcount. Much is at stake in the accuracy of the final count. The official numbers will determine the amounts of federal aid that will be allocated to different communities, and the figures also will affect the apportionment of congressional seats among the states and the boundaries of federal and state legislative districts.
Administrators in 39,000 state and local jurisdictions have until Sept. 9 to challenge the bureau's numbers by demonstrating that the enumerators overlooked or undercounted parts of their areas. Predictably, in communities where the Census Bureau figures fall below local calculations - such as New York City, Philadelphia, Houston, and Atlanta - officials are raising an outcry. Among their complaints: that the bureau missed newer housing developments and undercounted transient populations like the homeless and recent immigrants.
Some of these claims may well have merit. They come from self-interested parties, however. The Census Bureau will make adjustments to reflect well supported claims, but some healthy skepticism is warranted.
Dissatisfaction with the final count undoubtedly will revive demands, made after the 1980 census, for a mandatory ``aftercount'' of selected groups and formal adjustments in the results.
Meanwhile, politicians are eyeing the latest numbers with anticipation or foreboding. Nineteen seats in the House of Representatives will be shuffled from losing states - New York (-3), Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania (-2 each) - to winning states - California (+7), Florida (+4), Texas (+3). In states losing seats, infighting among incumbents can be expected over which districts will be eliminated.
In many states, even where the congressional representation stays the same, district lines will be redrawn to reflect shifts of population concentrations. Control of the gerrymandering process will be a prime goal in state gubernatorial and legislative races this fall.
Beyond the political changes wrought by the census are the demographic changes it records. Among these, the impact of immigration stands out. Almost 40 percent of the country's population growth during the '80s came from overseas - and much of that settled in California. Helping these newcomers become full participants in the American democracy will be a prime task in the decades ahead.
