Tears were shed at Surrey as Zafar Ansari calls time on his bracelet knock off van cleef alhambra cricket career
Surrey players were left in tears when Zafar Ansari revealed his plans to quit cricket. The 25 year old all rounder has retired from the sport with immediate effect and is likely to pursue a career in law.
Ansari played Test cricket for England only five months ago but, after graduating from Cambridge University with a double first in politics, philosophy and sociology, he had always made it clear that cricket was only a part of his life, rather than his sole vocation.
Ansari revealed his decision to Surrey's management team, comprising director of cricket Alec Stewart, coach Michael Di Venuto and captain Gareth Batty, during the drawn Championship fixture at Warwickshire, which ended on Monday and in which he did not play.
Ansari then addressed the rest of the squad before practice yesterday in the team room at The Kia Oval.
Batty told Standard Sport: "It was an van cleef and arpels fake bracelet emotional affair when he spoke to the rest of the players. There were certainly a few tears shed by me and a few of the others.
"Zafar has been a huge part of the group and what he is doing is ridiculously brave. He has done it for what I believe are truly the right reasons and I have nothing but admiration for him. He is an honest, straight up, wonderful guy and he will always be welcome here.
"I spent a lot of time with Zafar talking about cricket on and off the field and I will remember his playing days with great fondness and a huge amount of pride. We were involved in a spin partnership that helped Surrey win a number of games."
Batty and Ansari were a highly effective pairing for Surrey throughout the latter's time with the county, and replacing him will be no easy task.
Scott Borthwick, who bowls leg spin, was brought from Durham last summer but he is primarily a batsman these days. It is open to debate whether he is good enough to be a permanent second spinner for a county who rely a lot on their slow bowlers, especially at The Oval.
Surrey have Amar Virdi and Freddie van den Bergh, who are both playing in the Second XI, but neither has significant first team experience and it would be difficult to ask them to step up and perform immediately as Ansari could.
While Ansari was a hugely popular member of the Surrey squad, his interests outside cricket made him look at the sport in a different light from others. The traditional cricket changing room environment may not always have been the most natural place for a character such as this.
Similarly, in a sport that can feature extended periods of inactivity during games, it is natural for certain players to ask themselves certain questions.
Ansari gave an insight into imitation mother of pearl clover bracelet his thinking in a recent interview for the BBC's 'Stumped' programme, made before he announced this decision.
"I do struggle with the sole emphasis on cricket, for sure," he said. "It is a challenge when you dedicate so much of your time to something."

SFU student finds you may be getting hooped
The NBA had revoked some players' triple doubles an in game achievement where an individual reaches double digits in three separate categories after it was determined some of their more dubious assists couldn't be justified.That, along with a story about a rogue NBA scorekeeper who purposely fudged numbers without getting caught while working for the Vancouver Grizzlies in the 1990s, got van Bommel thinking.The NBA states assists, the stat researchers focused on most, are given "only if, in the judgement of the statistician, the last player's pass contributed directly to a made basket."That sentence alone leaves a lot of room for interpretation, van Bommel and Bornn thought.The pair analysed billions of lines of data from NBA cameras that track the movement of copy van cleef and arpels diamond bracelet both players and the ball on the court 25 times per second in every game. Their mathematical model monitored on court actions, taking into account styles of play, while omitting overtime periods and neutral site games.They matched results to the box scores, concluding that scorekeepers have a wide range of opinions on what constitutes an assist."We quantified two different scorekeeper effects," said the 23 year old van Bommel. "There's how generous a scorekeeper is, which is how often they give assists to any player."The other side is the actual bias where there's some scorekeepers that give more assists to the home team, and some scorekeepers that give more assists to the away team."The Utah Jazz scorekeeper was found to be especially frugal with assists, awarding van cleef and arpels butterfly bracelet fake 9.7 fewer on average per game compared to the one employed by the Atlanta Hawks."We're not trying to say this is anything intentional or anything malicious," said van Bommel. "The NBA just has these ambiguous definitions, especially for assists. This leads to inconsistencies in scorekeeper opinion."So why worry about a couple of assists that don't impact the final score? In the world of big money daily fantasy sports leagues where participants select a roster to compete for cash prizes, the implications could be far reaching.According to Simon Fraser, the Fantasy Sports Trade Association estimates more than 58 million people across North America take part in daily fantasy sports."It's hard to quantify what percentage (skewed stat lines) impact your odds of winning," said van Bommel, who doesn't play daily fantasy. "But in a lot of these games a point or two can make a difference between winning and losing."A thing like scorekeeper bias can make all the difference."Rob Pizzola, who worked in media before leaving his job to van cleef fake bracelets focus on daily fantasy and sports betting full time, said the study raises interesting questions. "There's a feeling (scorekeeper bias) matters and there's something to be done with it."But we're hesitant until we know exactly how to use it or until we get years and years worth of data that's a little more stable."Apart from the fantasy implications, van Bommel said the bias could influence an NBA player's earning potential.Six of the 10 players who had the greatest negative impact for assists were members of the Jazz. Gordon Hayward was found to have been short changed more than 28 assists over the season, a gap that would have seen him move up to 36th from 46th overall in the category.Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers, meanwhile, was credited with almost 35 assists more than the study suggests he deserved.Van Bommel said the systematic bias could also impact the still growing analytics world, which often relies on in arena scorekeepers."A lot of advanced statistics still use the box score as input," said van Bommel, adding: "Fan and media perception is also heavily influenced."Bornn, who was van Bommel's supervisor at SFU, was recently hired by the Sacramento Kings as vice president of strategy and analytics.

The Link between Madness and knock off van cleef flower bracelet Creativity
The explanation may lie in a condition shared by highly creative people and those with hallucinatory mental illnesses like schizophrenia low latent inhibition (LI). Each of us is constantly assaulted with sensory information; that raw data which Snyder believes autistic savants have trouble converting into mindsets. Humans and other primates have evolved enough to weed through this information and consider only what we need to survive, to perform a necessary task or to consider data we haven't already catalogued. The other information is unconsciously discarded, filtered through the process of latent inhibition. It's why we tend not to latch onto the constant buzzing of fluorescent lights overhead or compile snippets of conversations in crowded restaurants into a senseless whole.
Harvard psychologist Dr. Shelley Carson found that highly creative people also experience a lower LI threshold. What creative people do with the additional stimuli appears to be the separation between creativity and insanity. In a 2004 study, Carson found that test subjects with low latent inhibition coupled with a relatively high IQ (120 to 130) also had creative abilities. Carson postulated that people with high intellects aren't assaulted by the additional information allowed into their consciousnesses through low LI like schizophrenics are. Instead, they make creative use of it: "Intelligence allows you to manipulate the additional stimuli in novel ways without being overwhelmed by them" [source: Carson].
The implication of this is, of course, that schizophrenics simply have lower intellects than highly creative people. Each group teeters on opposite sides of van cleef black bracelet fake the same raging river of information and stimuli, holding ground only through their respective intelligence levels. While this may be an obvious conclusion, the exception that disproves the rule (schizophrenics who maintain a high intellect) doesn't support it. Studies have found a decline in intellect among some schizophrenics; but others show no decline remaining either at the same high or low intelligence quotient they possessed prior knock off van cleef black bracelet to developing the mental disorder (which appears on average at age 16 for males and 20 for females) [source: Weickert, et al, Carson].

Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden
By the time Jim Haddad inherited his family's Pasadena property in the mid 1980s, the garden was in a state of neglect.
His parents had stopped maintenance on the nearly 2 acre Japanese style garden a decade earlier, when Caltrans acquired about a third of an acre by eminent domain for extension of the 710 Freeway. Plants had died.
"Every real estate agent around wanted to sell off the lot in parts. It was tempting," Haddad said, noting the enormous tax assessment that was coming his way. "They were offering a fair amount of money. But I couldn't say yes."
FOR THE RECORD:
Japanese garden: In the Saturday section elsewhere in this edition, an information box with an article about the Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden in Pasadena gives incomplete information vca copy necklace for an April 28 Garden Conservancy tour. A ticket package for all six homes on the tour will be sold for $25 on April 28 at Arlington Garden, 285 Arlington Drive, Pasadena. An individual $5 ticket for only Storrier Stearns will be sold at that garden, 270 Arlington Drive. The error was discovered after the section went to press.
Haddad and his wife, Connie, shared memories of living in the guesthouse as newlyweds; of their Labrador, wet from a dip in the pond, roaring through the plant beds; of a daughter's wedding; and copy butterfly van cleef necklace of their grandchildren playing around the manicured grounds. They also knew that the garden, though in serious disrepair, dated to 1935 and was of cultural importance. So they held on.
To fully understand the rebirth of the garden since then, you could note that in 2005, the Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden, as it is known, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Or you could simply see for yourself: The garden will be open April 28 as part of the Garden Conservancy's Open Days tour.
What visitors will see is nothing short of time rewound. The garden, originally commissioned by Ellamae and Charles Storrier Stearns, was designed by Kinzuchi Fujii, a master carpenter, landscaper and recent immigrant. He conceived the landscape as a Japanese "stroll" garden that revealed itself through essential elements such as ponds, waterfalls and a teahouse as visitors wound around paths and over bridges.
Fujii's clients spared no expense. Black leaded tiles topped a garden wall, and stone ornaments were imported from Japan. Tons of granite boulders were hauled from the Santa Susana Pass. A teahouse of nearly 400 square feet was built for the property in Japan, then shipped to Pasadena. The landscaping included plants typical of Japanese woodland gardens black pines, Japanese maples, Chinese elms, camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons and ferns as well as California natives such as redwoods and live oaks.
That vision remained relegated to history until the Haddads retired and could even think about bringing the garden back to life. The bones were still there the winding path, the man made hill from which a waterfall once tumbled, the concrete and granite bridges. And the freeway plans had languished for so long, the extension no longer seemed to be an imminent threat.
Jim started the enormous undertaking by reviving the pond.
"I labored over it for eight or nine months," he said, until he found a sealant and method for fixing the leak. But there was much more to be done. The original waiting house, which in Japanese gardens is built along a path as a place to rest and contemplate the scenery before continuing on to a teahouse, was infested with termites. The burned down teahouse, once a highlight, needed to be rebuilt.
The Storrier Stearns garden, he said, is one of the few remaining prewar private estate gardens, remarkable for its scale and complexity. "It's on a level with the best of the country's top estate gardens," Brown said.
Takeo Uesugi, a landscape architect and professor emeritus at Cal Poly Pomona, confirmed Brown's assessment.
"He believed that it should be restored," Connie Haddad said. "He impressed it upon us."
Uesugi came on board as a consultant and introduced the Haddads to Jesus Rodriguez, a Colombian horticulturist who studied in Japan. Rodriguez moved onto the property to replica van cleef blue necklace restore the garden with on site composting, rainwater collection and proper plant care.

Seniors missing out by failing to file taxes
are needlessly forgoing hundreds or thousands of dollars in benefits that depend on filing tax returns.
"I am distressed to think that our low income seniors, for whom we think we've put in place all these supports, are going without them," she said.
"If you don't have a lot of money, even an extra $50 a month can mean the difference between getting out a couple of times a month or not," Mackenzie said. seniors living on less than $17,300 a year have not received some of their GIS payments because their filing was inconsistent. They will be getting, on average, about $2,000 back because Ottawa is making retroactive payment, she said. seniors over age 65 have incomes under $24,000, and there are 54,000 seniors living on $17,000 or less annually.
"For these people, any financial support can result in life changing outcomes, the ability to pay for a hearing aid, or uninsured dental care, or basic living expenses such as covering monthly rent," Mackenzie said.
Tax returns mean some seniors are placed on the GIS roster, saving them the trouble of a financial assessment by the seniors' office for eligibility for van cleef and arpels alhambra necklace copy certain programs and ensuring they are not charged home support co payments, she added.
Financial breaks for seniors that require tax returns for eligibility include:

Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters Directly subsidizes people 60 or older renting private market units an average of $200 van cleef alhambra necklace fake per month.

Sanjay Dutt to prepare for Mahatma Gandhi exam
Sanjay Dutt [Images] will use part of his jail time to prepare for an examination on Mahatma Gandhi [Images].
Dutt, who reportedly got interested in the replica van cleef malachite necklace Mahatma after his role in the super hit film Lagey Raho Munnabhai [Images], met with Gandhian activist and lawyer Asim Sarode soon after his transfer to Yerawada prison, in Pune, from Mumbai's Arthur Road jail.
During their conversation Friday, Dutt expressed his desire to appear for the October 2, 2007, exam, which is timed to coincide with the Mahatma's birth anniversary.
Sarode's organization, Sahyog Trust, is active in the field of human rights and law, and for the last four years has been conducting exams on Gandhi's life and teachings for the inmates of Yerwada.
The paper is set for a maximum of 100 marks, and successful candidates earn a certificate of merit.
By way of preparation, the organization gives each interested inmate three books on Gandhi, two months before the date.
The prescribed texts include a 400 page autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi; 'Mangal Prabhat', a booklet the Mahatma Gandhi wrote while he was an inmate of Yerwada for six years during the 1920s; and a book on Gandhi written by Manuben Gandhi, a close associate.
"I was more than happy to know that Sanjay Dutt wants to be a part of the Gandhian movement; he was in good spirits when I met him," Sarode said.
"He looked like any other prisoner, in prison clothes and basic slippers."
Dutt arpels van cleef necklace fake or prisoner C 15170, as he is identified in the Yerwada records has slipped into the routine of prison life. He reached the prison late Thursday night, and was kept in a holding cell. This morning, he was shifted along with friend Yusuf Nulwalla (C 15171) to his cell in Special Barracks 3, and had his share of the prison breakfast, poha.
Girlfriend Manyata, and a few friends, had trailed the prison van in their cars, in a sign of solidarity, all the way to Pune, but did alhambra style necklace fake not meet with the star either last night or this morning.
He has not yet been assigned any chores; prison officials say he will be tested for fitness and aptitude before suitable occupation is allotted. Sources in the prison say Dutt has expressed a preference for a job in the jail's kitchen.

Robin van Persie misses a penalty as Chris Brunt's vicious free kick is deflected in off Jonas Olsson for another Baggies victory at Old Trafford
Manchester van cleef and arpels replica necklace United 0 1 West Brom: Robin van Persie misses a penalty as Chris Brunt's vicious free kick is deflected in off Jonas Olsson for another Baggies victory at Old Trafford
Chris Brunt's ferocious free kick deflected in off Jonas Olsson as West Brom took 63rd minute lead at Old TraffordSaido Berahino was adjudged to have handled the ball for a penalty, which Robin van Persie missed in the 74thUnited fans stood in applause and chanted 'Rio, Rio' in support of their former player who lost his wife to cancerBy
Losing to Chelsea was perhaps understandable; Everton, not so much; and West Brom at home was a reminder of the darker days earlier in the season, or even the David Moyes era.
Now even the Champions League qualification, which had seemed a formality, seems a little unsure with the fresh encouragement they have given Liverpool.
Van Gaal tried everything. The back three even returned for the closing minutes and we had Angel Di Mario, Radamel Falcao, Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini all one the pitch together.
It was 3 1 6, more or less. Only the kitchen sink remained unused. Little good it did them. For when Tony Pulis has set his mind to be this obdurate, you could throw a whole host of galaticos at the problem and still come up wonting, as United did.
You could hardly blame Pulis. He effectively secured his team's Premier League status for another year. And, in doing so, West Brom naturally rode their luck.
The deflected free kick which earned them their win was pretty much their only shot on goal in the second half and Jonas Olsson, who scored it, initially looked disgusted at team mate Chris Brunt for striking the ball at him, before looking over his shoulder to see it had flown into the top corner.
Robin van Persie flunked a penalty kick on his return to the starting line up and West Brom conceded replica van cleef and arpels black clover necklace 80 per cent of the possession to Manchester United. And yet it was still hard to begrudge them the points, for they had earned the right to be fortunate, so hard had they worked.
None more so than their captain Darren Fletcher. At the end, the former United player trudged off alone and those United fans that had deigned to stay applauded warmly. Alongside him Claudio Yacob also gave an immense performance. Those two and Mulumbu effectively formed a firewall in front of West Brom's back four; if United penetrated the first layer of security, they struggled to get through the next.

Van Gaal at times resembles a frustrated professor humouring raw undergraduates on evenings like this. There is an air of exasperation allied imitation van cleef jewelry to an unshakeable belief that eventually we will all including his players submit to his methodology.
'You think that I am God but it is not like this,' he said as he explained why his team were falling short and why he requires more time. 'We have to improve to dis organise their organisation and that takes also time and is the next step in the process.
'All the possibilities in the second half was blowing with the wind, or something like that. It was unlucky but it is the third match in a row that we lose that we didn't score. We have everything in our own hands but our goal is now a little more difficult than before.'
From Pulis, this was a textbook performance, though he acknowledged afterwards they had required a slice of luck. But he has been focused on what this club requires since he joined in the New Year and now he has pretty much achieved his initial goal.
'I actually went mad before the game because one of the lads had his phone on looking at the results,' he said. 'The lads get a little distracted and they had enough on their plate performing today. I didn't know the results had gone against us and we worry far too much about things we can't affect.'
He was right; some things you can't affect, not least a wicked deflection from a free kick. Fletcher had been barged over by Paddy McNair on a rare foray into United's half on 64 minutes and Brunt's free kick shot directly into Olsson, earning him a disgusted stare from his team mate. But as Olsson looked daggers at Brunt, his team mates began to mob him, the free kick having diverted into the top corner, rendering De Gea helpless.
Thereafter, United improved. Van Gaal was right to point out that they created good chances, though the best of them came at the end: a diving save from Boaz Myhill denied van Persie on 90 minutes and a shot from Di Maria in injury time flew just over.
But the best of them was of course the missed penalty. West Brom had got away with one suspect handball in the box from Joleon Lescott on 66 minutes but Saido Berahino marginally just inside the area, despite West Brom's protests was not so lucky on 72 minutes.
Van Persie, making his first start since February stepped up, but aimed his strike at a comfortable height for goalkeepers and without real power and Myhill pushed it away.
Rooney, from midfield, had the odd strike and Van Persie had two first half efforts pushed away from Myhill while Ashley Young impressed down the left in the first half. But in reality, United still remain some way short of expectations, not least Van Gaal's.

subsidized Essential Air Service is waste of taxpayer money
The Essential Air Service (EAS) program began in 1978 to ensure commercial flights to small and remote communities. There are more than 100 imitation van cleef jewelry different routes under the program today, and most of them offer multiple flights each day, but in many cases, the planes are virtually empty.
The cost to taxpayers for subsidizing those journeys has quadrupled in the last decade to a whopping $261 million, which has some lawmakers convinced the program is anything but essential, reports CBS News' Kris Van Cleave.
A 50 seat commercial jet leaves Denver twice daily for two remote North Dakota towns. When CBS News flew to Devils Lake, North Dakota, last week, a town with a population of 7,200, there were rows of empty seats and only four other passengers.
The Department of Transportation shells out over $6 million a year to fund that route, one of 113 in the lower 48 states servicing rural communities like Devils Lake.
Passenger Mark Zimmer said it saves him about two hours of travel time each way.
"Parking is a lot easier here and lot closer for me to come here than go to Grand Forks," Zimmer said.
Devils Lake mayor Dick Johnson said the flights attract business and he estimates they help inject $10 million a year into the local economy.
"Our numbers are starting replica van cleef & arpels necklace alhambra to go up; It's key to our cities," Johnson said. "I think small rural communities are a major part of our country and to keep them viable, to keep them functional, to keep them a viable community, sometimes you need to have help from the big communities."
"The Magic copy van cleef Alhambra necklace gold Essential Air Service is really a relic of deregulation, airline deregulation, back in the 70s," according to Taxpayers for Common Sense vice president Steve Ellis. He believes convenience hardly makes the flights a necessity.
"We shouldn't be spending hundreds of millions just to make things a little easier for a few people to actually get to the airport," Ellis said.
Government data shows that on average last year, 44 of the 113 routes flew at least two thirds empty; among them, flights to Devils Lake.
One 9 seat Cessna flies twice daily from Kansas City, Missouri, to Great Bend, Kansas. The government kicks in $1.4 million each year, even though there is usually just one passenger on board.
Another $2.5 million per year goes to maintain near empty daily flights to and from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, even though it's just a 40 mile drive to the larger Harrisburg airport that serves the same routes.
"The fact of the matter is the amount of money this program is costing us has doubled in four years," Rep. Tom McClintock, R California said.
He has been trying to ground the Essential Air Service program since 2011.
"I view this as the canary in the coal mine. If we can't cut this, perhaps the least essential of all government subsidies, how are we ever going to get spending under control?" McClintock said.
A small amount of the subsidy pays for flights within Alaska and Hawaii. If it eliminates EAS and flights to Devils Lake, the only way to get there will be to fly to Grand Forks, North Dakota, and drive 90 miles.
