DeeDee Moore gets new lawyer in Lotto winner murder case

TAMPA — DeeDee Moore, the woman accused of killing Lotto winner Abraham Shakespeare, appeared in court Monday and was assigned a state-appointed defense attorney after the public defender declared a conflict of interest.

It was unclear what the conflict was, but a lawyer from the regional conflict counsel office was named to represent Moore. She will enter a plea after meeting with her new attorney.

Moore is charged with first-degree murder and interception of wire or oral communication. Prosecutors said they have not decided whether they will seek the death penalty if Moore is convicted.

Shakespeare collected about $12.7 million after he won the Lotto in 2006. He had $1.5 million left in cash and $3 million left in assets when Moore entered his life in 2008, saying she wanted to write a book about him. Authorities say Moore was in "virtually complete control of his money" when he was killed last April.

Shakespeare's body was found under a concrete slab in Plant City earlier this year.

A probable cause document used to support the charge against Moore said she provided several accounts of how Shakespeare was killed, but that the common thread was she was present each time. She also identified her own .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver as the weapon used to kill Shakespeare with two gunshot wounds to the chest.

A grand jury indicted Moore Thursday.

Briefs: Moms may be able to have more than ice chips during labor

Maternity wards have long forbidden women in labor to eat or drink much more than ice chips. Now a systematic review of existing studies has found no evidence that the restrictions have any benefit for most healthy women and their babies. The prohibitions are meant to reduce the risk of Mendelson's syndrome (named for Dr. Curtis L. Mendelson, the New York obstetrician who first described it in the 1940s), which can occur if the contents of the stomach are drawn into the lungs while the patient is under general anesthesia. But nowadays the use of general anesthesia during labor and delivery is rare. Caesarean sections are generally done using regional anesthesia. Joan Tranmer, an associate professor of nursing at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and an author of the new review, said she had seen all too many women in labor complaining of thirst and dry mouth resort to sucking wet washcloths. "We thought it was time to question this," she said. The review was published last week by the Cochrane Collaboration.

Is drug cost hike anticipatory?

That prescription drugs are getting more expensive is not news. A recent report from the AARP's Public Policy Institute found that prices for brand-name medications most commonly used by Medicare beneficiaries rose an average of 9.3 percent last year. But AARP Bulletin's cover story, "Drug Prices Up, Up, Up," suggests a reason for the bloat: Manufacturers may be hiking prices in anticipation of health care reform legislation that could curb drug costs. The same thing happened in 2003 when the Part D drug benefit was added to Medicare. The drug industry trade group PhRMA disputes the theory and accuses AARP of "trying to muddy the waters for its own political gain."

Quitting after cancer still helps

Smokers may develop a fatalistic attitude and assume there is little they can do to improve their chances of survival after a diagnosis of lung cancer. That would be a mistake, say researchers writing in the British Medical Journal. The study authors, from the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, analyzed 10 studies that measured the effects of quitting smoking after a diagnosis of lung cancer. They found that people who are diagnosed at an early stage can double their chances of survival over five years if they stop smoking, compared with people who continue to smoke. An accompanying editorial noted this might not prompt all doctors to promote quitting. Some "think it is inhuman to dwell on the matter — that it adds to feelings of guilt and takes away a lifelong comfort from the dying patient," said the authors of the editorial. The optimal solution, they point out, is persuading people to quit before cancer develops and preventing young people from ever starting.

Jim Norman leaving Salvation Army after criticism

TAMPA — Facing criticism as the holiday giving season begins, the Salvation Army said Tuesday it has ended its relationship with state Sen.-elect Jim Norman.

The outgoing Hillsborough County commissioner earned $95,000 a year, plus use of a company car, as statewide community liaison for the faith-based charity.

It was a job he held for 31 years, but it also became a campaign issue. Norman described himself as a troubleshooter who worked largely on weekends, but Republican opponent Kevin Ambler accused him of lobbying without registering.

While denying that Norman was a lobbyist, the charity's leaders acknowledged he used his experience and familiarity with government to help the Salvation Army compete for and hold onto millions of dollars in contracts. He abstained from votes involving Hillsborough matters, including a long-standing contract to provide probation services.

The charity's officials hinted that Norman's days might be numbered when, during the heated Senate campaign, they got calls from donors who threatened to stop giving. Development director Steve Dick said that although Norman retired voluntarily, "the Salvation Army initiated the issue."

Donors who had complained were pleased at the news.

"I think this was long overdue," retired corporate executive Charles Luthin said. "Justice prevails once in awhile."

In a brief statement, the Salvation Army said the organization felt that as a senator, Norman would be too busy to fulfill his job responsibilities.

When reminded that Norman held the job while he served on the County Commission — and during his political campaigns — Dick stuck to that position.

"We believe his responsibilities as a state senator will take more time and he won't be able fulfill his obligations to the army," he said.

Norman, who leaves office next week, was paid $92,000 a year as a county commissioner. As a senator, he will earn just under $30,000. He could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Dick said Norman will receive a retirement package, but he would not elaborate. The disclosure form that Norman filed to run for the Senate lists a retirement account from the Salvation Army with a value of $161,000.

Longtime employees are eligible for pension benefits when they turn 65, said Murray Flagg, a human resources director at the Salvation Army's territorial office in Atlanta. No one in the organization would provide any details.

Daniel Borochoff, president of the American Institute of Philanthropy, said he finds that lack of disclosure infuriating. One can only guess how much Norman is receiving, he said.

"They could have made it so sweet that it could have been an obvious decision. Had they not done that, maybe he would have stayed."

Norman's job at the Salvation Army was one of several issues that dogged him during the campaign season. After losing to Norman in the Aug. 24 Republican primary, Ambler sued to have Norman disqualified as a candidate in the Nov. 2 election.

Ambler alleged that Norman failed to disclose a $500,000 gift from influential Hillsborough businessman Ralph Hughes, which Norman's wife used to buy a lakefront Arkansas home. A circuit court judge in Tallahassee removed Norman from the ballot, but that decision was reversed on appeal.

In a race with no Democrat to represent the north Hillsborough and central Pasco district, Norman captured slightly more than half of the votes when undervotes and write-in ballots were considered.

Separately, Norman is the subject of an FBI investigation into his relationship with Hughes, who died in 2008 while undergoing a multimillion-dollar tax inquiry. Hughes, who was in the construction materials business, was an opponent of taxes and business regulations who appeared frequently before the commission.

Dick said Tuesday that none of those controversies entered into the organization's decision about Norman. Critics of the charity were skeptical.

"They clearly were getting heat," said Luthin, who called the Salvation Army weeks ago to express his dissatisfaction.

"I think he was pressured to leave," said Tim Williams of Clair-Mel in east Hillsborough.

Borochoff of the watchdog group said the Salvation Army risks its credibility by maintaining secrecy about Norman's retirement package.

"This is prime time for them," he said. "There are people in need. They should err on the side of accountability. They need to have people's trust."

At the United Way of Tampa Bay, vice president Douglas Arnold said the organization might not fare too badly.

"The Salvation Army has a tremendous record of doing good things," he said. "I believe they will be able to move beyond this."

Times staff writers Sue Carlton and Janet Zink contributed to this report. Marlene Sokol can be reached at or (813) 624-2739.

Classes resume at Steinbrenner High as students grieve loss of beloved senior

LUTZ — Students snapped images of a rainbow early Monday over Steinbrenner High School as classes resumed in the wake of the weekend death of a beloved classmate.

Many tweeted their pics with the hashtag #RIPFrank after a prayer outside the school. Some said the rainbow was a sign from the heavens, a gift from their departed friend.

"Even if you don't know them, offer a shoulder to cry on or a person to talk to," student Bradley Walters tweeted Monday morning. "It's time we come together as a family."

Frank Vasquez, 17, died Sunday after a driver slammed into and flipped his parked SUV early Saturday, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. His girlfriend and passenger, Kaylee E. Baer, 16, of Lutz, remained in intensive care Monday morning at St. Joseph's Hospital, officials said.

The driver who hit them, Matthew J. West, 23, whom authorities say initially fled the scene, turned himself in at a Pasco County jail Saturday. The case is under investigation and no charges have been filed, troopers said.

Vasquez, of Lutz, and Baer had returned from a Keith Urban concert at the Florida State Fairgrounds when West hit Vasquez's parked SUV at a dead end on Sunlake Drive, north of County Line Road, about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, crash investigators said.

Friends and teachers held a vigil at Steinbrenner High School's stadium Sunday night. Many continued their tributes and aired their grief on social media.

"We have our crisis team and grief counselors available for anybody who needs them," said Jill Schroeder, an assistant to principal Kelly King. "It hits very close to home. Obviously, they're very upset, but I think they're dealing with it as best as they can."

Former Ray Brignac finds room in Colorado

DENVER — Reid Brignac is enjoying the scenery in Colorado.

Sure, the mountains are nice. But for Brignac it's more a matter of being somewhere else in the majors besides Tampa Bay, given that the Rays clearly no longer had him in their plans by trading for shortstop Yunel Escobar, keeping infielder Ryan Roberts and signing infielder/outfielder Kelly Johnson.

"It's been a great change of scenery," Brignac said in the Rockies clubhouse before Friday's game against his former teammates.

"I feel like everything happens for a reason, and for me it definitely was a positive thing. Definitely. Yeah, it was tough to leave. That was home. That was comfort. And now to go somewhere uncomfortable at first, but to get adjusted so quickly, I almost feel like I didn't skip a beat with these guys. We started to play games and instantly start to build team chemistry, it's been great. It's been a great chance for me."

Brignac hasn't gotten a lot of opportunity, starting seven games (and only one at shortstop, even though starter Troy Tulowitzki has missed some games), with the Rockies, but Brignac said he has enjoyed being part of what he called "a great organization." In 20 games overall, he was hitting .250 (9-for-36) with no homers and three RBIs. He pinch-hit Friday with two outs in the 10th and singled to right.

Having been in the Rays organization since being a second-round pick in 2004 and having spent parts of five seasons in the majors, he knew his time there was coming to an end. He thanked executive vice president Andrew Friedman for trading him, for an undisclosed amount of cash, to the Rockies.

"No doubt, I could see the signs right in front of me," he said. "I'm not an idiot. I've been in this game long enough, I understand the business side of the game that goes along with just playing the game.

"I knew if I was going to be in Rays camp it was going to be very difficult for me to make that team, so I was really hoping Andrew gave me a chance to get with another team before spring training, to get with my new team and play for my new manager."

Having seen James Shields and Elliot Johnson do well against the Rays in Kansas City, Brignac, 27, said he was hoping to get his chance to beat his former teammates.

"I'm next in line," he said, "so, yeah, I have to do something."

Falcons receiver Roddy White pulls in a 59-yard catch in the final minute, beating cornerback Josh Norman, right, and safety Haruki Nakamura. The play sets up the winning field goal.

ATLANTA — Matt Ryan took an awful beating. Another win for the Falcons will make the pain a lot easier to take.

Shaking off a career-high seven sacks, and with Atlanta starting its final drive on the 1-yard line, Ryan completed a 59-yard pass to Roddy White with 59 seconds left on Sunday to set up Matt Bryant's 40-yard field goal, keeping the Falcons undefeated with a wild 30-28 victory over the Panthers.

After squandering a 24-14 lead in the second half, the Falcons needed a crucial fumble by Cam Newton to even have a chance.

On the last drive Ryan had no timeouts, but he dropped back about as far as he could, threw it about as far as he could, and relied on White to go up and make the catch.

White did, between two defenders.

Bryant's kick won it with 5 seconds remaining.

"We made the plays when we needed to," said Ryan, who passed for 369 yards and three scores. "That's what you need to do week to week in this league."

The Falcons are 4-0 for the first time since 2004, when they reached the NFC Championship Game, and lead the South by three games.

This was their stiffest challenge yet.

"That was exciting. Whew!" coach Mike Smith said. "Every time it looked bleak, every time it looked like we didn't have a chance, we were able to overcome it."

Newton threw for two touchdowns and ran for one but he let the ball slip away when it looked as though he had clinched the victory for Carolina.

"You have to protect the football," Newton said. "That was a key focus going into this game, and I fumbled."

On third and 2 at the Atlanta 46, Newton took the snap and bulled over the left side, across the first-down marker. On the sideline, several Panthers broke into a celebration. But John Abraham had knocked the ball loose and Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert recovered at the 45 — 1 yard shy of a first down. After failing to draw the Falcons offside, the Panthers punted.

After White's long catch, a pass interference call and two short completions made it easier for Bryant, the former Bucs kicker.

With finger healing, Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Mike Smith to get first preseason start

TAMPA — Mike Smith said he expects his right ring finger to be "pretty sensitive for quite a while." But the Lightning goaltender does not expect to be limited in his first preseason start tonight against the Panthers at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise.

In fact, Smith said Thursday at the St. Pete Times Forum, "I'm kind of chomping at the bit to get in there."

The fingertip was fractured during a Sept. 20 practice by a Steven Stamkos shot, and Smith had not handled live shots until this week. So expectations are modest.

"To be fair to him, the first game, I'm expecting him not to be at his best," coach Guy Boucher said. "It's normal. He's missing practices. He's working very hard, but the reality is, it's going to be his first real game since last (season)."

Most important, Smith said, is "staying structurally sound and, at the same time, gain confidence from the team and coaching staff in my ability."

Smith, in the final year of a two-year, $4.4 million contract and trying to bounce back from an inconsistent 2009-10, also will play Saturday's preseason finale against Florida at the Times Forum, though how much is to be determined.

"He's an upbeat guy with a lot of energy," Boucher said. "We want to make sure he controls that, and his focus is controlled and he stays structured in his technique. … The season is starting a week from now. He needs to see the net."

WAIVERS: Forwards Marc Pouliot and Niklas Persson cleared waivers. Pouliot, a 2003 first-round draft pick of the Oilers, was assigned to AHL Norfolk, reducing the preseason roster to 27. Persson, a Swede who was cut Sunday and assigned to Norfolk, is exploring a return to Europe.

ROSTER: Boucher said it still is undecided whether the team will start the regular season with 23 players, the limit, or 22.

"Some days we keep 22. Some days we keep 23," he said of talks with GM Steve Yzerman. "To say 22 today, and tomorrow you say I'm a liar because we keep 23, it's a possibility of both. If it's just a matter of numbers, I hate sending guys down who really deserve to be here. Steve feels the same way, so we don't want to restrain ourselves."

COACH'S PREROGATIVE: Boucher had scheduled a 30-minute practice for Thursday, but when he finally whistled the players off the ice, it was 67 minutes. What happened?

"The same thing that happened to my 22-man roster," he joked. "That's coaching. One day you get a feeling of 'let's continue.' Actually, I added something I wanted to see and didn't like the first 20 minutes enough to get off. They're working hard, but I want guys who are relentless. There's a difference between the two."

ODDS AND ENDS: Saturday's game is not on TV or radio but will be streamed live at and with Rick Peckham and Bobby "The Chief" Taylor calling the action. … The team's annual Chamber Lunch is 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Times Forum. For information, call (813) 301-6812.

Today's race

Toyota/SaveMart 350, 3 p.m., Infineon Raceway, Sonoma, Calif. TV: TNT

SONOMA, Calif. — Jimmie Johnson hasn't been to Victory Lane in 10 races, his longest drought in two years.

NASCAR's four-time defending champion has finished outside the top 10 in five of the past seven races and dropped to sixth in Sprint Cup points.

Now he's at Infineon Raceway, one of five tracks where he has never won a Cup race. It's not that being in wine country poses a problem. Johnson's just not that good at road-course racing.

"Everybody knows how much I have focused on it and how badly I want to win on a road course, especially here," said Johnson, a Californian. "It's time."

Johnson has progressively gotten better at Infineon, where he has cracked the top five just twice and has averaged a 17th-place finish in eight starts. He was a career-best fourth last year but didn't carry that improvement into Watkins Glen, the only other road course in the series, where he was 12th in August.

But after qualifying second for today's race — he briefly held the pole until he was bumped by defending winner Kasey Kahne — Johnson believes he has a chance at a road-course win.

"I feel really good about it," said Johnson, who has run two Grand-Am events this year for more practice. "We've been testing and doing everything I can to be a better road-course driver and to get our cars better."

His lack of success in Sonoma became a topic of conversation this weekend, even as Johnson keeps ducking the assertion he's in some sort of slump. He has scoffed at that notion — even though he had three finishes of 31st or worse last month.

But he's clearly aware of the perception. He joked that "everybody keeps saying I'm in a slump" when presented with his trophy for being the first quarter winner in voting for driver of the year. Johnson won three of the first five races this season.

"I get accused of being a little intense at times, so I'm trying to make sure to laugh a little bit," he said, referring to his slump reference. "There is no doubt that the month of May was tough on us. … We're not where we want to be, but I wouldn't call it a slump."

Johnson could go a long way to silencing the slump talk with a win on the twisting 11-turn, 1.99-mile course through Sonoma, a track that requires a different skill set from the usual all-left-turn racing on NASCAR's ovals.

"It is fair to say that when you've won on a road course, people look at you differently," driver Jeff Burton said.

The series boasts several drivers who have mastered the technique, and the annual stops at Infineon and Watkins Glen offer an unusual opportunity. One possibility is Marcos Ambrose, who qualified sixth and is among the favorites. Juan Pablo Montoya, a celebrated former Formula One racer, is always considered a favorite. Then there's Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart; they have a combined 16 victories at NASCAR's two road courses.

"It's definitely a place I feel like we've got the potential to win, even before we make a single lap," said Stewart, a two-time Sonoma winner.

That's a position Johnson would love to be in. His plan of attack is to remain patient.

"I get in other road-course cars, and I'm plenty fast and competitive," he said. "I just need to figure out how to do it over the course of 90 laps."

The World is Waiting for You

2.83 Miles

At least 3 times a week I purposely sit with people who are working on ideas. It's a great way to learn new things and also keeps my creativity booming. Some of their ideas are about religious reform. Some of their ideas are about ending world famine. Some are fairly simple, like how to begin writing. Every week brings something/someone new.

I believe the people I trade moments with are going to put a larger dent in the world than I ever will. They're impassioned, resilient, and gloriously talented. My question after I listen intently is always the same, "When are you starting?"

And when the answer is that they haven't, it usually follows a statement like "I don't know where to start." The "where" hasn't changed since the dawn of civilization. No one wakes up dripping in genius. We may have genius within us, but nothing great manifests itself without agitation. Not pursuing an idea is a comfortable place. No massive judgement comes along with it. No one has the ability to critique our inaction. I was once told that the easiest thing in the world to have was, nothing.

But I believe the lifelong knots that tie in our stomachs from the regret of never moving forward are much worse than trying and failing. We don't live on earth ourselves. It's almost impossible to begin any journey without it affecting others. Since we are forced to be among other human beings it's important we comprehend how much our "starts" are interconnected.

Had Muhammad Ali not started boxing we may have never had the ability to call him a champion of life. We couldn't draw strength from his courage. He made the world brighter. At some point in time Ali decided to walk into a gym, put on gloves and fight his way into legend. Ali's start was no different than any of us. It consisted of the same 3 parts that face our world today uncertainty, ignorance, and doubt. None of three can be conquered without starting somewhere. We may have to find information, make a plan, or suffer embarrassment, but those are all optimum starting blocks. Whether it's for the world over, or the world of your immediate circle of loved ones, start today. It's a choice I have to make everyday for myself. I fail miserably at it all the time, as you will, but it's worth it. Believe me.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

- Muhammad Ali

Farewell Sea King Mk4 Royal Navy

Messagepar Sylvain » 14 Mar 2016 22:42

Si jamais quelqu'un se trouve dans le coin le lundi 21 Mars 2016 ;)

PLEASE turn out in force across Southern and South-Western England on Monday March 21 as the legendary Sea King Mk4 conducts a farewell tour.

Five of the troop carrying green helicopters, which have carried Royal Marines into action for more than 36 years, will stage a five-hour ‘goodbye flight’ around the locations most associated with them on home turf.

As with their fellow Fleet Air Arm Sea King units which are coming out of service this year – the search and rescuers of 771 NAS and HMS Gannet – 848 Naval Air Squadron are conducting the formation fly past – and are hoping for a good turn-out.

Setting off from their base at RNAS Yeovilton, home of the Commando Helicopter Force, the ‘Junglies’ (a nickname they owe to their forebears who fought in Borneo in the 60s), at 8.30am on Monday March 21, the Sea Kings will pass over:

Joint Helicopter Command in Andover
Portsmouth Naval Base,
RM Poole
CTCRM in Lympstone
RM Stonehouse
Plymouth Naval Base
HMS Raleigh
42 Commando in Bickleigh
Okehampton Camp
Commando Logistics Regiment in Chivenor

There the helicopters will take on fuel before resuming their tour at 1pm heading for

40 Commando at Norton Manor Camp near Taunton
Charlton Farm Hospice
Abbeywood, Bristol
Glastonbury Tor

Landing back at Yeovilton at 2.25pm.

***The “Name That Teen $ Workshop” CONTEST*** WIN A FREE Copy Of The Workshop For Your Teen!

I did a workshop for teens where I taught them about how to make their money work hard for them!

What will be its NEW name?

At the time I needed a quick title for the workshop and I was inspired by my good friend, Patti Handy, who had just written her new book, “Ditch Your Allowance And Get Richer Than Your Parents“.

I borrowed a version of her book title as the temporary name of my workshop. I called the workshop: “Chuck Your Allowance And Get Richer Than Your Parents!”

This was just a temporary name until I could come up with my own original title.

And Patti has been very good about it too. She’s just awesome, you can check our her products and gifts here:

But the problem now is that I have hit a ‘Writer’s Block’! I don’t want to keep the temporary title as that would infringe upon Patti’s book title and copyrights but I am having no creative insights at all as to what to call my workshop!

    Hi Amanda
    Here’s my suggestion:
    A Teens Desire–Building a Mind for Riches

    If you decide on this title, I would like the course to go to a good friend of mine in Karaka. She has an 11 yr old daughter.
    Visited NZ last September. Wonderful country
    If you decide not to use it–then I’ll wite a course myself!! HAHA Cheers

    • Amanda says:

      Hi Don,

      I love your humour!

      First of all New Zealand ROCKS! (okay, I’m biased, I live there when I’m not in visiting Canada!) ;o)

      Second of all, I think you SHOULD write your own course! Why not? I would be proud to support you on that! I wish MORE parents would help out like that!

      Thirdly, I think you are very sweet to want to give your course to your friend’s daughter if you win it. That is wonderful! ;o)

      I’ll be going over all the suggestions tomorrow and then I’ll let you know how it goes.

      Cheers…Amanda ;o)

Liverpool ‘demand £20m’ for Sakho after rejecting loan approach

Date published: Thursday 19th January 2017 2:36

Mamadou Sakho: In demand

Liverpool have reportedly rejected Southampton’s efforts to take out-of-favour defender Mamadou Sakho on loan – and will instead hold out for a permanent sale.

It has been reported that the Saints’ offer was ‘instantly dismissed’ as the Reds will only consider permanently offloading the France international, whom they feel is worth £20million, despite failing to play a single match this season.

The France defender has been exiled from Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans this season after falling out with his manager while on the pre-season tour of California.

Sakho trained with and played for the club’s under-23 side for the first half of the season but since the transfer window opened he has not featured as the club want to minimise the chances of him getting injured and jeopardising a move.

The player rejected loan switches to West Brom and Stoke in August despite being told he needed to leave to re-establish his reputation, and in the intervening period the club’s stance has shifted to the point where they now want him off the books.

However, they will only consider a permanent deal in the region of £20million for the 26-year-old.

Southampton are looking to strengthen in central defence after captain Jose Fonte handed in a transfer request earlier this month.

Sevilla, Swansea and Crystal Palace were also believed to be looking at the player but none have followed up their initial interest.

Pellegrini: Sterling will improve

Date published: Tuesday 21st July 2015 2:23

Sterling, who joined City last week in a £49m deal, impressed during the first 45 minutes of the 2-2 draw, scoring with just 137 seconds on the clock after latching onto Kelechi Iheanacho’s pass.

The England international continued to give Roma full-back Alessandro Florenzi a torrid time at the Melbourne Cricket Ground before being taken off at the break.

And City boss Pellegrini was impressed with his performance, claiming he can only improve playing alongside the calibre of his new team-mates at the Etihad.

“I think for a striker it’s always important to score, especially when he scored early in the game,” he said.

“He played just 45 minutes and has only worked with our team for a few days so I’m happy in the way he played. He demonstrated why he’s here.

“He’s a very young player so I think he’ll improve a lot in the future, playing with Yaya Toure, David Silva and Sergio Aguero. I’m very happy for him. I’m very happy for our team to buy him.”

Sterling also showed promising signs in partnership with Silva, and Pellegrini believes the former Liverpool forward will benefit playing in front of City’s current crop of midfielders.

“Good players always link immediately when they know how to play,” he said. “Immediately, David found a very good striker making good movements.

“At the moment, I think we have the complete midfield. We have very technical players. I think he will benefit from that so I am very happy about the future I think we’re going to have as a team.”

Spurs linked with left-backs but hit Berahino block

Rico Henry: Walsall defender linked with Tottenham

Tottenham have again been linked with Ben Chilwell and Rico Henry – but face disappointment in their bid to sign Saido Berahino.

Arsenal are reported to have made an offer worth £4million to sign Chilwell from Leicester City, but both The Times and Daily Mirror claim Spurs have officially now registered their interest after having a close look at the 19-year-old in their recent FA Cup ties against Claudio Ranieri’s side.

The two newspapers also repeat the much-reported claim that Spurs are tracking Walsall’s Henry, who has been linked with several of the Premier League’s top clubs in recent months.

The Times, meanwhile, says West Brom have refused to lower their £25million asking price for Berahino.

It was reported on Wednesday that Spurs were preparing a final offer of £17million for the unsettled striker, but Albion are sticking to their guns despite Berahino falling out of favour with Tony Pulis this season.

The Daily Star claims the north Londoners are instead focusing their efforts on Barcelona’s Sandro Ramirez.

Sunderland close to part one of planned double deal

Lamine Kone: Lorient accept Sunderland's offer for defender

Sunderland have had an offer accepted for Lorient defender Lamine Kone, the French club have confirmed.

Sam Allardyce revealed on Monday that he had two players lined up as he attempts to strengthen the squad he inherited from predecessor Dick Advocaat as quickly as possible when the winter transfer window opens.

And it appears 26-year-old Kone could be the first of them after it emerged that the two clubs had agreed a fee.

Lorient vice-president Alex Hayes told “We have received an offer that we have accepted.

“It is now up to Lamine to find an agreement with Sunderland and to pass the medical before the transfer can be made official.”

It is understood that Kone, who has been tracked by Allardyce since his time at West Ham, flew to England on Tuesday to open talks with the Black Cats, who are hopeful of striking a deal within the next few days.

Sunderland have also been linked with Bayern Munich’s Jan Kirchhoff and Stoke City utility man Marc Wilson, who can play at full-back, centre-back or as a holding midfielder.

A Little Birdie Told Me

Not only is the Stampin' Up "Best Birds" stamp set adorable, but it has a matching Thinlits Die Set. Let's face it: who really enjoys cutting out stamped images? I'd much rather use my Sizzix Big Shot and knock out some dies on the fly.
The Copic Markers were called into action for coloring the birds and branches in these cards. In addition to the SU Best Birds stamp set, all the cards (except the one below) include sentiment stamps from Stampin' Up.
I absolutely love the "little bird told me" birthday sentiment stamp that I used on the card above. It's an Inkadinkado stamp that I've owned for about 10 years.
The card above includes a moon made from the Stampin' Up 2 1/2-inch punch. A sponge with SU Marina Mist ink gave the moon its illumination.
The card above and below uses a bit of masking and ink sponging to create the sun silhouette. I used the SU 2 1/2-inch punch to create the masks.
All these techniques are incredibly easy, so give them a try!

Mixed Messages: If a Picture's Worth 1,000 Words, What's a Video Worth?

By Vivian Wagner
May 12, 2011 11:46 AM PT

Say you're a real estate agent, and you want to show a new listing to your client. You don't want to just email a link to information about the house, however; you want to personalize it somehow. Like, perhaps, with a video of yourself describing and selling the good points of that property to your potential buyer.

Mixed Messages: If a Picture's Worth 1,000 Words, What's a Video Worth?

Sound complicated? With video email services, it's as easy as switching on your webcam, speaking your message, and uploading the video to accompany the link. The private video email service Eyejot, for instance, offer users this kind of quick and easy way to incorporate video into emails.

"[Eyejot] makes it extremely easy to create video email," David Geller, founder and CEO of Eyejot, told TechNewsWorld. "We designed it to make it as easy as possible, so it can all be done through a browser and any platform."

Eyejot offers users several levels of service, from a basic free plan to professional plans that allow for longer recordings, prerecorded video, more recipients per video, and other features. The service codes and converts video files into manageable, smaller files, using transcoding to convert them to Flash and other formats.

The videos are then put on Eyejot's servers, and users send a link with a video box that is what the recipient actually sees in the email.

Private Video Viewing

In short, Eyejot offers a service similar in some ways to YouTube. The vital difference, however, is that only designated viewers will have access to the video.

"Most of our users want a private messaging system, and YouTube is not that," explained Geller.

With Eyejot's most advanced level, users can upload logos into their template and change the color scheme in order to customize the presentation of the video, all of which is popular with businesses.

"They like to add their logo, because it adds greater legitimacy," said Geller. "This is our most popular service."

Eyejot has several hundred thousand users and is growing, according to Geller.

"We're pleased with the conversion rate to paid accounts," he said. "The product remains somewhat unique in the marketplace."

One requirement for using Eyejot's service is that the people you're emailing need to have had some prior contact in order to prevent spamming.

"Recipients have to be someone with whom the user has been in touch with," explained Geller.

Eyejot is also currently working on mobile phone apps that will include some of these same services and others.

"We're going to aggressively blanket the mobile world," said Geller. "Eyejot will transform into a mobile video messaging company."

Why Video?

Video professionals emphasize that video offers unique ways of communicating that transcend text alone.

"Imparting tone is often very difficult with the written word," explained Geller. "If you're selling, or providing customer support, video is unparalleled. It's easier to express complicated thoughts with video."

Video, unlike any other medium, helps to foster relationships between businesses and their clients, argues Bob Reina, CEO of Talk Fusion.

"It is about the relationship," Reina told TechNewsWorld. "It allows people to see you and your expression. Business is about relationships, and video is the best way to do that."

Recorded video, in fact, promises to be central to communications of the future, perhaps in some circumstances transcending real-time meetings or other popular visual technologies. Unlike online meetings, for instance, prerecorded visual messages don't require everyone to be present at the same time, which can be difficult to schedule with participants who are in time zones around the world.

"Visual messaging is a powerful communication technology," explained Sebastian Rapport, founder and CEO of visual communications company Pixetell. "Visual messages are sent and received when convenient for all parties and therefore can significantly shorten time required to transfer knowledge."

Recorded visual messages, therefore, are sometimes more effective than live video conferencing.

"The method by which to compose a visual message is different if it's selling or marketing a concept vs. knowledge capture and transfer between colleagues," explained Rapport. "The meeting recorders built in to online meeting software [are] not adequate for ad-hoc visual messaging or knowledge capture."

Video is especially useful in the realm of sales and marketing, which relies so much on tone, eye contact, and a sense of personal connection.

"The demand for video in email is growing as it presents exciting opportunities for marketers, communicators and salespeople, because interactive video is more engaging, interactive and responsive than static email," Brian O'Connell, CEO of VideoCustomizer, told TechNewsWorld. "Video in email offers a two- to three-times performance leap versus traditional email. It's a logical leap, as we intuitively grasp the power of visual communication over simple text."

Leaked Docs Illuminate Google's Nexus Tablet Aspirations

By Richard Adhikari
Jun 25, 2012 11:48 AM PT

Google will unveil a 7-inch tablet based on the Nvidia quad-core Tegra 3 processor and running Android 4.1, aka "Jelly Bean," at the Google I/O developers conference this week, according to Gizmodo Australia.

Leaked Docs Illuminate Google's Nexus Tablet Aspirations

The device will reportedly be dubbed the "Nexus 7" and be built by Asus.

"My instinct is that [the tablet's] going to be in the $200 range and be targeted at helping Google reclaim the low-end market and, essentially, try to take share away from Amazon," Tom Mainelli, a research manager at IDC, told TechNewsWorld. "I think it's driving Google crazy that the most popular Android tablet to date doesn't have Google's brand on it."

The Look of Nexus

The Nexus 7 will have a 1.3 GHz Tegra 3 processor, the report claims. This processor goes with an Nvidia GeForce 12-core graphics processing unit.

The Nexus 7 will have a 7-inch IPS display with 1,280 by 800 pixel resolution and a 178-degree viewing angle. It will have a 1.2 MP front-facing camera and 1 GB of RAM. It will also include near field communication capability. The version to be released in the United States will include Google Wallet.

Battery life will be nine hours. Two versions of the Nexus 7 will be offered, one with 8 GB of storage and the other with 16 GB. Pricing will be US$200 and $245, respectively, according to Gizmodo Australia. The tablets will be released in Australia in July, but it's not known when they'll be available in the U.S.

Asus, which is reportedly making the Nexus 7, did not respond to our request for comment for this story.

No Dragon Ball Here

It's not clear whether the so-called Nexus 7 tablet will use Nvidia's Kai platform, as suggested recently by the TechBuffalo blog.

Kai is a reference platform offered by Nvidia that tablet manufacturers can use to produce low-cost quad-core Android tablets priced below $200.

The Kai platform includes the Tegra 3 quad-core mobile processor together with its associated DirectTouch architecture and PRISM display technology, as well as a memory controller that's compatible with lower-cost DDR3L PC-type memory. The Kai reference design is a 7-inch device with a standard resolution display, but it can be modified to offer different display sizes and resolutions.

"We don't comment on unannounced products or rumors," Nvidia representative Steve MacDonnell told TechNewsWorld when asked whether Kai is being used in the Nexus 7.

Google's Jagged Little Pill

Google has "a lot of people using Android phones but have had a terrible time gaining traction in the tablet market," Tom Mainelli, a research manager at IDC, told TechNewsWorld.

The success of Amazon's Kindle tablets, which run Android, didn't help Google's cause. Android devices are aimed at helping Google sell ads, and Amazon, whose Kindle tablets sold like hotcakes during the Christmas season, "took Android and put a new user interface on top of it and removed Google's ecosystem from the device," Mainelli said. "So Google not only needs to increase the footprint of Android tablets, but also needs to get enough bodies in there so that its ecosystem will continue to grow and become viable."

Taking on the iPad

Google will "try to put out a full-featured 7-inch tablet at a reasonable price," but it will not prove to be any competition for the iPad, IDC's Mainelli said.

"We're looking at two different areas," Mainelli explained. "One thing Apple has done very well with each iteration of the iPad, not only with hardware and software but also marketing, is position it as not just a consumption device but also a production device. That's one of the hangups with 7-inch tablets and also with the Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook."

The other tablets are content consumption devices, Mainelli said. "Some users will be able to be productive on 7-inch tablets, but by and large, 10-inch tablets give you more real estate, so it's easier to be more productive on them."

Google did not respond to our request for comment.

All Things Appy: 5 Best Windows 8 Sports Apps

By Patrick Nelson
Apr 24, 2013 5:00 AM PT

You can do a whole lot more than watch your favorite sports on television these days if you take advantage of a second screen. The concept is simple: The big TV screen provides the visual action, while your laptop or tablet dishes out in-depth analysis and social media commentary on the side.

All Things Appy: 5 Best Windows 8 Sports Apps

Windows 8 has some superb apps for this purpose.

This week's All Things Appy takes a look at the top five Windows 8 team- and sport-agnostic, free sports apps.

About the Ecosystem

Windows apps can be obtained from the Windows 8 Store, which can be accessed only within Windows 8.

Click or touch the Start page Store tile and then browse.

You can search by placing your mouse pointer or finger in the bottom-right corner of the screen and selecting the Search charm.

No. 1: ESPN App

The ESPN app is rated 3+ stars out of a possible 5 with 4,350 ratings in the Windows 8 Store.

This, the sister app to the ESPN sports television channel, lets you dual-screen by keeping one eye on your tablet or PC and one on the big screen.

The app provides the latest scores and analysis for numerous sporting events. Alerts and updates can be tied into live Windows 8 tiles too. Linking to a personal account wraps the package.

No. 2: Bing Sports

The Bing Sports app is rated 3+ stars out of a possible 5 with 1,067 ratings in the Windows 8 Store.

Bing Sports, called "Sports" in the app store, has an advantage: It's already installed as an app within Windows 8, so it's easy to check it out -- look for its tile on the Start page.

The app includes a comprehensive set of sports and player headlines linking to news stories, video snippets, slide shows and major sports schedules. Additionally you can set up and track a favorite team.

No. 3: Buzztap

The Buzztap app is rated 3+ stars out of a possible 5 with 11 ratings in the Windows 8 Store.

Buzztap is an intriguing concept. It provides you with a bunch of tiles that reference the latest trending sports topics.

Click on a tile -- for example, Tiger Woods in the Golf category -- and media references to the topic appear. In this case, you'll see news articles and tweets about the player.

A trending category lets you see what's hot.

TechNewsWorld likes this app because it demonstrates the power of Windows app tiles over a common Web browser. Give it a shot if you want to see where the Internet is headed.

No. 4: PlayUp

PlayUp is rated 3 stars out of a possible 5 with one rating in the Windows 8 Store.

PlayUp is an aggregator of Twitter feeds, You Tube video, news, radio stations, and images relating to specific sports and events. The app claims to provide key stats for more than 55,000 live games, but its strength is that it pulls together all of the action and social networking into one interface.

We found the app a little lacking in social network feeds on occasion, but the concept is sound and it's a must have if you'd like to see where sports apps are headed.

No. 5: Yahoo Sports

The Yahoo Sports app is rated 4+ stars out of a possible 5 with four ratings in the Windows 8 Store.

Within the app, you'll get live NBA, NFL and NCAAF only. For other sports, you'll need a Web browser, but the app does provide play-by-play descriptions and exclusive blog commentary.

A teams and standings roster and a schedule round out the mix. Yahoo Sports is a solid app, but it gets a runner-up position due to the limited number of sports included.

Want to Suggest an Apps Collection?

Is there a batch of apps you'd like to suggest for review? Remember, they must all be for the same platform, and they must all be geared toward the same general purpose. Please send the names of five or more apps to me, and I'll consider them for a future All Things Appy column.

And use the Talkback feature below to add your comments!

Patrick Nelson has been a professional writer since 1992. He was editor and publisher of the music industry trade publication Producer Report and has written for a number of technology blogs. Nelson studied design at Hornsey Art School and wrote the cult-classic novel Sprawlism. His introduction to technology was as a nomadic talent scout in the eighties, where regular scrabbling around under hotel room beds was necessary to connect modems with alligator clips to hotel telephone wiring to get a fax out. He tasted down and dirty technology, and never looked back.

Choosing Laptop Accessories

Purchasing a laptop is never a standalone event; it requires the purchase of laptop accessories to accompany it. Computers have constantly been developing and the quality of accessories on offer is increasing. This piece will focus on choosing laptop accessories and what one should be looking out for.

Cooling pads are often purchased for laptops as an added tool for comfort purposes. The laptop will be used for countless hours and can easily begin to heat up. The cooling pad helps ensure the laptop is kept cool and will not begin to wear over time. Laptop accessories of this sort are designed in two manners, battery operated and USB. The choice is left to the laptop owner; both have their uses and are effective in getting the job done. It is an excellent purchase to make when looking to purchase specific laptop accessories.

laptop accessories 1
Laptop screens can require replacement over time for owners. This can lead to sifting through the options to find the best and most affordable option on the market. Acer screens are an example of screens that come at a variety of prices dependent upon the model of the laptop. It is important to have the laptop screen working in good condition in order to maximize the use of the laptop. Most of the focus is directed towards the screen and it is imperative to ensure it is working well.

Security is one of the first purchases made when looking to choose laptop accessories. Having a top-notch security cable becomes increasingly important as the prices of laptops rise. A rise in access keys has also been noticed due to the increasing nature of laptop prices. As the products are becoming pricier, the need to protect them has immediately risen. Access keys are a manner of ensuring no one is able to steal the laptop and access the information on it. The laptop can only be accessed with the specifically designed ‘access key’, which is a hassle that no one wishes to take when it comes to misusing the information. It turns the laptop from an easy target into something that is difficult and timely to crack, which dissuades interested parties.

laptop accessories 2

Choosing laptop accessories is dependent on the needs of the laptop owner. If there is a desire for solving particular issues revolving around the laptop, there are countless solutions on the market. The cooling pad is one of many examples available as a solution to a problem many face. Touch pads are also designed to help lessen the load being placed on the laptop. Some laptop owners prefer to purchase a separate mouse in order to control the laptop with more comfort. GPS systems are implemented on the laptop as this generation looks to revolve around always being on the go. There are wireless printers that can be purchased in order to always have access to the printer from anywhere in the house. No one wishes to go up to the printer and connect it manually. These are little comforts that are attached to the laptop through the accessories being produced.

Secure Your Mac with your Fingerprint

If you’re one of those people that have a mac, you might want to consider securing your computer with your fingerprint. Much like Apple’s Touch ID, Mac ID is meant for your computer. If you pay for anything online with your computer or have bank information or credit card information stored on your computer, then you probably find yourself typing in your password a thousand times a day. With Mac ID, all that you need is your fingerprint.

Mac ID is an app that allows your fingerprint to be used instead of a password. It’ll save you time and aggravation. You can’t misspell a fingerprint. If you have an iPhone, iPad, or an Apple Watch, you can use your Bluetooth on these apps, pair them with your computer, and remotely unlock your computer with any of the three devices. You can even configure your devices to automatically have your computer go into lockdown simply by moving away from the computer. Meaning, if you have your phone in your pocket and walk away from your computer, you can set a distance configuration on the phone to automatically lock your computer when the phone is out of range.

MacID can be configured to operate with slightly older models of iPhones stemming back to the iPhone 4S. The device must support Bluetooth LE. The Macbooks that can use the app can go back as far as MacBooks 2011. So how do you use it? First, download the MacID from the app store for both your mac and your iPhone.

Open the Mac app and choose “Add iOS Device”. (The Bluetooth of both devices needs to be on)

Once the iOS app is open, both devices should see each other.

The Mac Helper will ask you for your user account password. (Once you save your password, the apps icons should appear on your menu bar.)

Set up TouchID on your phone.

In the iOS app tap on the Macs name to make it lock the screen and then tap it a second time to unlock it. You should be prompted to use your fingerprint to unlock it.

Data Preprocessing for Reducing False Positive Rate in Intrusion Detection

Intrusion detection plays vital role in computer network security since long. Experience has shown that most IDS struggle for curbing false positive rate. As part of the authors' proposed model with the objective of reducing false positive rate here they have focused on preprocessing functionality. The main objective of they preprocessing module is to reduce ambiguity and provide accurate information to detection engine. So here, they have presented preprocessing module which cleans network data and handles missing or incomplete data. Preprocessing module is highly configurable. Based on the result of vulnerability assessment and network topology, hosts exists, services running, intrusion detection analyst need to configure preprocessing module.

From the Artist

Tell us a bit about this design and what is the message or meaning you're trying to convey.
This design is inspired by some of the scariest and meanest robots in movies. This is part of a set of designs I drew each featuring 25 deadly movie icons (eg. aliens, killer maniacs, ghosts) drawn in chibi style.
