We are visiting St. Louis University one day, and then driving over to the Washington University campus for a visit the next day. I am looking for a restaurant and maybe some shopping near one of the campus' for teenage daughter to enjoy. Should we stick around St. Louis U, or is there more to choose from around Washington? Is the Central West End around either of these areas? Could use some suggestions! Thank you!

Quick reply...check out Italian eateries on The Hill. Also river front. But of course Clayton and Forest Park area must have good places...haven't been there for awhile.

The Central West End is between the two U.'s, and a good bet for lunch and shopping. Herbie's is nice, on Euclid, or Duff's. Lots of people like Pi for pizza, Dressel's or Llwelyn's for pubs. St. Louis Bread Co for casual soups/salads/coffee, quick in and out.
Otherwise, I'd go to the Loop area north of Wash U. I walked by Bobo Noodles today on Skinker near Forest Park Pkway, stylish Asian fusion students seem to like. There are fun lunch spots for two blocks east and several blocks west of Skinker on Delmar. Eclipse at the Moonrise Hotel is nice. Three Kings pub. Thai places. -

Don't know if you've gone yet, but I vote for the U City loop. Blueberry Hill -- too cool! Lots of fun and maybe some live music.

On the Menu: Sashimi, London Cocktail Week, scotch eggs, Nose to Tail Eating and David Oliver's game soups
Food news and reviews
Friday 28 September 2012
This week I've been eating... Sashimi
Chrysan, the "Japanese" restaurant wedged between the fleshpots of Shoreditch and the City of London, has one of the most peaceful dining rooms I've ever been in, all low lights and half-pulled Japanese blinds. Indeed, only the repeated malfunction of the stereo, which emitted a noise not unlike that of a cruise ship coming into port kept me from settling in for the long haul. Well, that and the menu.
It is an unusual one, you see, Japanese, but with a French accent. I must admit, I dodged the challenge, and had a plate of sashimi instead. Six mini bowls, containing 12 dexterously-sliced pieces. There was salmon with a wasabi jelly, yellowtail with a dab of horseradish, tuna with a soy concoction, prawn with ponzu jelly, and a stunning bit of octopus. Only the sea bass with, er, sun-dried tomato and parmesan struck a bum note. But then five out of six ain't bad at all.
Bottoms up!
It's not just Frieze art week that is nearly upon us. There's another of the year's many and assorted "weeks" about to begin, one in which even more alcohol will be consumed, nicer alcohol, too. I speak, of course, of London Cocktail Week, which will run between 8 and 14 October. Just order a wristband (£4 in advance; £10 on the day) and you get access to a plethora of pop-up bars, make-your-own masterclasses and a £4 cocktail menu in various bars around London's Seven Dials and beyond.
Bedtime book
It has always struck me as peculiar that chefs, during the "My Life in Food" interview, say they like to read cookbooks in bed. I think it odd to learn how to make a fricassee while swathed in a quilt. Or at least I did, until last night, when I spent the evening in the company of Fergus Henderson's "Nose to Tail Eating", a weighty compendium of all his best recipes. Now I understand. How to resist Fergus on how to eat "radishes at their peak", his advice as to the composition of a Bicylcette or the clear-sighted wisdom – "a perfect recipe steadies and uplifts"?
£30, bloomsbury.com
Soft centres
I love scotch eggs. And I feel that had Keats had the opportunity to try its contemporary incarnation, with its rich, oozing golden centre, he would surely have eulogised that, rather than a boring old nectarine. Alas, the pleasure of the soft-boiled scotch egg had largely been confined to the more adventurous gastropubs – but now, hurray, you will be able to buy a golden-crumbed version, sloppy-centred one in Marks and Spencer.
£3.49, marksandspencer.com
Soups you, sir
Keep the cold at bay with David Oliver's game soups. There are various venison and partridge soups on offer, but the best is the pheasant mulligatawny, with Berkshire bird, lots of spices and a nice dollop of rice at the bottom which renders your chunky loaf quite redundant.

TELEVISION Crapston Villas (Channel 4)
A 10-minute drama with Plasticine stars is Jasper Rees's idea of a good soap opera
Signing up to watch a soap, like committing yourself to 20 Bensons a day or a flagon of Drambuie, involves surrendering a hefty slice of personal liberty. Crapston Villas is a soap anyone could find the time of day for. That's partly because it's not actually on in the day, partly because it's hardly on at all. Just 10 minutes a week is a commitment even the most addiction-resistant viewer can make without troubling their conscience. It's a bit like a slimmer's weekly bag of Maltesers: over in next to no time but worth the wait.
Crapston Villas is, in many respects, typical of the genre. It's site- specific - set in London, SE69 (phnarr, phnarr) in a townhouse converted into flats, and the cast of characters who inhabit its three floors suffer from the usual set of social and emotional tensions. But it also offers unique rewards for first-time buyers: this is the first soap to portray a character who thinks he's a film director, the first to let you see a cat vomiting copiously and then licking up the mess, the first to show a woman naked in bed. It's also the first soap in which all the characters are genuinely made out of Plasticine but sound real, as opposed to looking real and sounding Plasticine.
Hence the slimness of the weekly portions - although in animation, 10 minutes is actually quite a generous helping. Nick Park, the most garlanded artist in this medium, needs a year to produce half an hour of finished film. Sarah Anne Kennedy and Spitting Image Productions, who have delivered 100 minutes in all, allow their figures to move in much broader strokes. The details in facial mobility are many fewer, but the fixed physiognomies are expressive enough to make up for it. Jonathan, the layabout would- be director who shares with his perma-grouch girlfriend Sophie, has a more or less oblong head and a goatee. The kid saboteur on the top floor is not much more than eyes and front teeth. One gay character is basically Freddie Mercury.
Ten minutes presents a vast expanse to an animator but a postage stamp to a scriptwriter. The dialogue and the voiceovers need to be spot on, and they are. Flossie the lodger, a magnificent gargoyle who looks and talks like a vanilla cone in a 36DD, is done to a tee by Jane Horrocks. All her previous roles seem to have been but a preparation for this squawking numskull. If the litmus test of a soap is that it offers for your inspection characters you recognise, then Crapston Villas sails through. And if you hate cats, then this gritty serving of urban realism is right up your alley.

I did wrong, says rogue trader Leeson
Monday 05 July 1999
The man who lost pounds 850m and broke Barings, Britain's oldest bank, said on arrival at Heathrow airport: "I want to state clearly here that I know I did wrong. I am not proud of my activities as a trader with Barings Bank in Singapore. I was foolish and very much regret what happened."
But immediately after making his statement, Leeson, 32, left to sell the story of the crime he says he is so ashamed of, to the Daily Mail newspaper for a reputed pounds 100,000. The deal has been widely criticised and the Press Complaints Commission has stated that it will investigate any complaint it receives over the payment of money to a convicted criminal.
Ernst & Young, the liquidators of Barings, has also obtained an injunction freezing Leeson's assets, including the fee from the Mail and around pounds 450,000 he received from the film rights of his book of his downfall, Rogue Trader. The court order allows him pounds 5,000 a month to cover living expenses and medical and legal costs.
In the mounting controversy over Leeson, a group of bondholders who lost their savings in the Barings collapse are pressing for a private prosecution to be brought against him. Pam Murray, of the solicitors SJ Berwin and Co, said there was "strong support among a number of bondholders" for such an action. However, the firm acknowledged that a court case was unlikely to recover the money owed.
Simon Forster, spokesman for the Barings preference shareholders, spoke of the hardship of those who had lost "everything" with the collapse of the bank. He said: "Some of those investors are elderly, they are widows, widowers, who invested part or a very substantial amount of their life savings in what was reputedly an organisation as safe as the Bank of England."
Jill Frankel, 67, a retired teacher, and her 73-year-old husband, Leslie, of north London, are among the losers. Mrs Frankel said: "We were absolutely horrified when we found out what had happened. I have never felt that bitter towards Nick Leeson, although it was not a very decent thing that he did. I have neither seen the film nor read the book... I do not approve of criminals making money out of their misdeeds."
Leeson's solicitor, Stephen Pollard, defended his client, saying he was the only one who had been imprisoned for his part in the affair. Others, more senior, were either unaffected, or only suffered "inconvenience" in their business life, he said.
In December 1995, Leeson was sentenced to six-and-a-half years for fraud. He had been taking massive bets on derivatives contracts, concealing his losses in a secret account. Eventually, they wiped out the bank.
Mr Pollard strongly denied reports that Leeson had pounds 2m salted away and said he would be "astonished" if Leeson now faced a fresh trial in Britain. Leeson received treatment for cancer of the colon while in jail and Mr Pollard says there is a 30 per cent chance of it recurring in the next five years.
Financial regulators said yesterday that Leeson could be considered for a trading licence in Britain if he applied for one. The Financial Services Authority said there would be no restriction, because he committed his crime abroad.

Sotheby's International RealtyThis is not a bad place to grow up people.
The 5 acre estate that was home to financial thriller 'Arbitrage' producer Kevin Turen is on sale for $39 million, the WSJ reports. He was also married on the grounds.
The home is known as the 'Gloria Crest Estate' and was built for Polish Count Stefan Ponyatovsky. Turen's parents are selling the property because they want to buy a townhouse in NYC.
It's hard to imagine why. This gorgeous 8 bedroom house is unbelievably ornate, and comes with an in-home movie theater, pool, library, fountain... we could go on.
Dennis McCormack of Sotheby's has the listing.

This is one fantastic Capture…Laura
Beautiful work!
Mind you, one actually walked down my road just a few weeks ago – very strange for suburbia.
Thank you! There's a lot more coyotes in suburbia than most people think. Coyotes have adapted very well to living with humans — but they're very good at hiding, so you don't see them so often.

The wit and arrogance of Oscar Wilde are brought to florid life by Vincent Price in this one-man play compiled by John Gay from the author's works. Oscar Fingall O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in 1854, and enjoyed fame in Victorian England, then married and fathered two sons before his ill-fated affair with Lord. Alfred Douglas was made public. It led to his conviction for homosexual acts and imprisonment for two years. Humiliated, he died in Paris at 46. Price's masterly performance proves again that his range as an actor reaches far beyond horror movies and Hollywood Squares. He plays Washington's Ford Theater Nov. 8-13, followed by four weeks in Boston.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - For the second straight day, a St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher slashed through a slumping Colorado lineup.
Adam Wainwright kept the Rockies hitless for 7 1/3 innings en route to the Cardinals' second consecutive shutout, a 3-0 victory over Colorado on Saturday at Busch Stadium.
Shelby Miller tossed a one-hitter for St. Louis on Friday by retiring the final 27 batters he faced, and Wainwright (5-2) sliced through the struggling Rockies order until Nolan Arenado lined a base hit up the middle with one away in eighth.
It was the longest no-hit bid of Wainwright's career. He would give up one more hit in the ninth and finished with seven strikeouts and a walk.
"Once you see Shelby mow through a lineup like he has been all year, you feel like you've got to go out there and do it too," Wainwright said. "Or else the guys will think there's a new sheriff in town."
Allen Craig went 3-for-3 with a sacrifice fly, Yadier Molina had two hits -- including an RBI single -- and Matt Adams drove in a run to help the Cardinals collect their ninth win in 10 games.
After Eric Young led off Friday's game with a single, the Rockies didn't record a base runner until Wainwright issued a walk to Todd Helton in the fifth. Forty straight batters for Colorado came to the plate without reaching base over the stretch.
Jhoulys Chacin (3-2) was erratic over five innings, allowing two runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five. The Rockies, losers of a season- high four straight games, will look to salvage the three-game set on Sunday.
The Cardinals were all over Chacin early, but were unable to push a run across despite loading the bases twice in the first four innings. However, they took advantage when they packed the bags again in the fifth.
Matt Carpenter had the first of three straight singles to leadoff the frame and a run came home when Craig lifted a sacrifice fly into center field. Two batters later, Adams drove a two-out base hit into right to put the Cards ahead 2-0.
That was all the support Wainwright would need, as he kept the Rockies off the base paths up until the fifth when Helton was able to draw a one-out walk.
He fanned Young to end the sixth and after getting Dexter Fowler and Carlos Gonzalez to line out to start the seventh, he struck out Troy Tulowitzki to leave him six outs away from the first Cardinals no-hitter since Bud Smith accomplished the feat in 2001.
St. Louis added to its advantage in the bottom of the seventh when Molina sprayed an RBI base hit into center, giving the Cards a three-run cushion.
Wainwright retired his ninth batter in a row when Carpenter made a tough play in the hole at second to rob Helton of a base hit, but Arenado followed and lined a single into center to end Wainwright's bid.
"I was just trying to hit the ball hard," Arenado said. "We know he's pitching a great game, and we haven't been getting a lot of hits lately. We try not to think about, 'Let's get a hit here.'"
Nevertheless, the Cardinals starter stayed resilient and set down the final two batters of the inning. He then worked around a two-out single from Fowler in the ninth to finish off the shutout.
The Cardinals tied an MLB record for most consecutive batters retired by one team versus another. The last team to retire 40 straight hitters was when the Rangers did it to the Tigers in 1996 ... Molina extended his hitting streak to 11 games ... Colorado has scored only three runs over its four-game losing streak ... St. Louis left fielder Matt Holliday left at the end of the eighth inning with a twisted right ankle.
Southeastern Louisiana won't have to wait next season in its pursuit of a third straight Southland Conference football title.
Bill Elliott, a former Sprint Cup Series champion, and Wendell Scott, the first African-American to win a race in NASCAR's premier racing circuit, were among the sixth five-member class inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Friday night.
When you're sitting next to Olivia Munn, it's hard to imagine wanting to be anywhere else but Aaron Rodgers was a little antsy at Phoenix's Symphony Hall on Saturday night.
The Boston Red Sox signed pitcher Alexi Ogando to a one-year contract on Friday.
The Houston Rockets recalled guard Nick Johnson from the NBA Development League on Sunday with reports that center Dwight Howard could be sidelined for a few weeks.
Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Christian Ehrhoff will not be in action on Friday against the New Jersey Devils as he is undergoing tests for a possible concussion.

London - 7 August 2014 - Skyscape Cloud Services Limited, the easy to adopt, easy to use and easy to leave cloud services company, has today announced that it has successfully achieved certification for the Government's new Cyber Essentials Plus scheme. Launched in early June 2014, the Cyber Essentials scheme is designed to improve the resilience of UK businesses to common cyber security threats, and provides for verifiable certification of their capabilities.
Skyscape's Cyber Essentials Plus technical assessment was conducted by the NCC Group, following the successful completion of which certification was awarded by CREST. CESG, the information security arm of GCHQ, engaged CREST to develop and deliver an effective independent technical assessment of the controls outlined in the Cyber Essentials Scheme. Adoption of these controls is estimated to address over 80% of current cyber threats, and will make the UK a safer place to conduct business online.
Having been one of the first to successfully complete the self-assessment activities of the Cyber Essentials Scheme required by IASME, Skyscape was keen to undertake the more thorough independent technical checks which are required to achieve the Cyber Essentials Plus certification. This assessment was focussed on the management, configuration and use of Skyscape's internal ICT systems, including assessment of end-user devices, and sought to identify whether they could be compromised by a variety of different cyber-attack scenarios.
"As one of the first companies to sign up to the Cyber Essentials Scheme on the day it was launched, we are delighted to be one of the very first to achieve the Cyber Essentials Plus certification," said John Godwin, Head of Compliance and Information Assurance at Skyscape Cloud Services. "From 1st October 2014, the UK Government will require all suppliers that are bidding for contracts that include the handling of certain sensitive and personal information to have successfully completed certification against the Cyber Essentials scheme. As part of our ongoing commitment to offer secure cloud computing services for the UK public sector, we're extremely happy to have secured this important validation of our controls well ahead of time."
The Cyber Essentials Scheme was developed by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) and CESG. "Organisations need to take cyber security seriously, and we applaud companies such as Skyscape Cloud Services who achieve the Cyber Essentials Plus certification," said Richard Bach, Assistant Director of Cyber Security at BIS. "Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus enable businesses to demonstrate that they are taking action to control the risks ̶ critical if they are to protect themselves, their customers and their reputation, and even win business."
Skyscape recognises that information security is of paramount importance to all of its customers. Its portfolio of assured cloud services have already achieved the highest possible Pan Government Accreditation (PGA) status from CESG - up to and including Impact Level 3 - which remains suitable for all data at OFFICAL (including OFFICIAL SENSITIVE) under the new Government Security Classification Policy. Additional customer assurance is obtained from Skyscape's ongoing certification to ISO27001, the international Information Security Management System standard, which covers the activities of the whole company, and which is complemented by certifications for ISO9001 (for Quality Management) and ISO20000 (for IT Service Management). Skyscape is a member of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), a not-for-profit organisation which aims to develop and promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within cloud computing environments.
About The Cyber Essentials Scheme
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed, industry supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against the majority of common cyber- attacks. The full scheme, launched on 5th June 2014, enables organisations to gain one of two new Cyber Essentials certifications - the first being a detailed self-assessment exercise, the other being an independently conducted technical validation. It is being backed by industry including the Federation of Small Businesses, the CBI and a number of insurance organisations which are offering incentives for businesses to gain certification.
About Skyscape Cloud Services
Skyscape's assured cloud solutions have been specifically designed to meet the needs of the UK public sector, delivering UK sovereign services that are easy to adopt, easy to use and easy to leave, with genuine pay by the hour consumption models.

Re: Letters: Secession Petition Signers No Better Than Fl... Thanks for the letter, Jeff. For what it's worth, I agree. I wrote my own piece that I've yet to post because I was so angry. This graphic pretty hits the nail on the head for me:
Lewisville Texan Journal has submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for a list of the signers of that petition. Although the White House is probably not legally obligated to provide it, the privacy policy that users agree to in order to sign these petitions notes that names and cities can be released. If any of the local elected officials or party leaders signed that thing, they better pray that Mr. Obama decides not to release the names. |

Re: Letters: Secession Petition Signers No Better Than Fl... I am a past citizen of Lewisville and now live in the Texas Hill Country. I am here to tell you, sadly, that the secession movement is alive and well here. I was surprised by the number of people just 20 miles west of our state capital that bear a Texas flag bumper sticker with the word "SECEDE" emblazoned across the bottom of the flag. There are "compounds" out here that rival those built for our state and national officials in case of a nuclear attack or "militia-type" war. There are people here that, since Obama was first elected, began stocking up on ammo and guns because they felt threatened that their way of life was about to end because *oh ma gosh* a black man (actually mixed race) lives in the *white* house. There are also those here that base their desire to secede on some flawed idea that the treaty that made Texas a state is invalid. When I see these bumper stickers or here the blathering of the latter folks, I just shake my head in sadness. I probably look like the Native American man that was in the ecology commercials years ago staring at what was being done to his land with a single tear running down his cheek.

Chelsea Alley was yesterday lying in bed contemplating how "boring" her day was going to be.
Instead, it quickly turned into one of her most exciting, after she hurriedly packed a suitcase and boarded a plane to England, fancying the prospect of a Black Ferns debut at Twickenham.
The 19-year-old first five-eighth, born and bred in Tokoroa, has been called up to the world champion New Zealand women's team, who are in the midst of a three-test series against England.
The Waikato Times spoke to Alley about three hours after she received the call from a New Zealand Rugby Union staff member asking if she was able to join the tour.
At that time she was still unaware why she had been called in, although it soon emerged it was because young Otago first five-eighth Victoria Nafatali, who debuted off the bench in Saturday's (NZ time) first test, had had her tour cut short after suffering a knee strain.
After the good news at about 9am, Alley's day turned hectic.
"My phone's been going crazy," she said.
After packing, she had to organise to get to the adidas outfitters in Auckland to collect her gear, then had to be at the airport at 8pm, flying out at 10.45pm to Los Angeles, where she was to stop for a few hours before heading to London.
Alley is the second Waikato player in the 26-strong squad, along with Teresa Te Tamaki, who didn't feature in the 16-13 loss in the first test at Esher Rugby Football Club in Surrey.
Having made the wider Black Ferns squad this year, Alley was in the mix but didn't think her opportunity would come so soon.
"The coach [Brian Evans] said to me before the squad was named that he still thought I was a little bit too young to be brought in at this stage and maybe if I kept going that I'd be in next year," Alley said. "But he told me that I'm next in if something happens."
That something did happen and Alley is thankful she hadn't wound down her training since the NPC finished last month.
"I've still been training right through because I'm in the Waikato sevens team, so that kept me fit and stuff," she said.
Alley played for Auckland in the NPC last year, before being able to represent Waikato on their return to the competition this season.
She will arrive less than a day before the second test against England - which is tomorrow morning (NZ time) at Army Rugby Stadium in Aldershot, Hampshire - and has been left out of the 22.
That leaves her one opportunity to make her mark - in the third test on Sunday morning (NZ time) - which will be played at the historic Twickenham ground immediately after the All Blacks' test against England.
"This time yesterday [Sunday] I never thought I'd ever be going there," Alley said of the 82,000-capacity stadium. "It's very exciting.
"I wouldn't be upset if I didn't get on the field. It would just be good to be in the environment and hopefully get some experience for the next two years because my goal is to be at the 2014 World Cup in France."
The Black Ferns have won the past four World Cups, beating England in the final of the most recent three.

The depth of the Wellington Phoenix will be severely tested after key midfielder Albert Riera suffered a suspected groin tear at training yesterday.
Riera has been nursing a tight groin for most of the season, yet in his debut A-League campaign has emerged as arguably the Phoenix's most important player.
Disappointed Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick said Riera would be assessed today ahead of tomorrow's visit to the Newcastle Jets.
But the Spanish import is likely to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks.
"It could be [several weeks], yeah," Merrick said.
"Deep groin muscles aren't good to deal with so it could be a little while before he's back . . . it doesn't look good. He's been outstanding. It is sad because he's been playing very well, he's been running the show, he's turned out to be one of the best middle midfielders in the league."
If Riera is ruled out, Alex Rufer willhis place in join today's travelling squad.
The Phoenix are already without the injured Paul Ifill, Louis Fenton and Leo Bertos, while Kenny Cunningham and Michael Boxall are suspended for the match.
Uncapped fullback Josh Brindell-South appears set to edge Reece Caira for Boxall's spot, while Matthew Ridenton and Jason Hicks are the frontrunners to come in for Riera and Cunningham.
The in-form Vince Lia is likely to move into Riera's vital role of screening the back four.
"It's a leadership role," Merrick said.
"Vince Lia and Carlos Hernandez have got to step up because we've lost Kenny who's an experienced international player as well. So it's leadership in the midfield and under pressure you soon discover who your leaders are and who are not."

The All Whites received a second blow today when it was announced goalkeeper Glen Moss has been ruled out of the All Whites' World Cup qualifiers against New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands.
Moss recently returned to action for the Phoenix but picked up a knee injury during the All Whites' first training session in Dunedin yesterday.
Jacob Spoonley has been called into the squad as a replacement for both matches.
The news follows the announcement that Australian-born defender Andrew Durante will definitely not make his All Whites debut tomorrow night.
New Zealand Football high performance director Fred de Jong and coach Ricki Herbert made that call in Dunedin today after world football governing body Fifa failed to give de Jong a definitive answer overnight on Durante's eligibility.
De Jong said it was "frustrating" but NZF would reassess the situation after tomorrow night's game against New Caledonia before deciding whether Durante wold play in the final World Cup Oceania qualifying group game against the Solomon Islands in Honiara on Tuesday.
"I spoke to Fifa last night and there's no real movement from their position," de Jong said.
"I spoke to Ricki this morning and we made the decision that Andrew won't take part (tomorrow).
"We will reassess his position after the match, depending on the result."
De Jong said Herbert would convey the decision to Durante. But the central defender had been aware that circumstances might rule him out.FIFA had three criteria for a player "acquiring a new nationality", de Jong said.
The player had to have citizenship, had to have never represented another nation at senior or junior level and had to have lived in his or her new country for more than five years.
De Jong said New Zealand citizenship laws required the applicant to have lived in New Zealand for five years from the date of application and to have been resident here for "1350 days or 240 days in each of those five years".
Durante, who joined the Wellington Phoenix on February 8 2008 met the Fifa and New Zealand government criteria.
De Jong said NZF had sent all the documents to Fifa and had asked them to confirm if Durante is eligible or not.
"They have said 'we can't say it's up to you'."
De Jong said NZF and Herbert could not take the risk of playing Durante without Fifa's assurance in case his eligibility was challenged and New Zealand's World Cup campaign was jeopardised.
They wanted the All White's World Cup fate decided on the field not by lawyers, de Jong said.

Sir Alex Ferguson hails 'incredible' rival Arsene Wenger
Related Articles
Published: 02 October 2009
Most of Wenger's 13 years with the Gunners have been spent going head to head with the Manchester United boss for the game's top prizes and while there have been plenty of confrontations between the pair down the years, a thaw has taken place in recent times.
And although Ferguson today avoided discussion over whether Wenger had brought the best out of him, the Scot feels the statement is particularly true of Arsenal.
"Since he has gone there, the success of the club has been fantastic," said Ferguson. "He has brought the best out of the club. He sticks to what he believes in - and so do his players.
"That is why he has been there so long. I read some quotes from his players the other day that sum up the situation well. They owe everything to him. That is nice to read."
Ferguson's 23 years at United makes him the longest serving manager in England and he feels his achievements and those of Wenger prove that if clubs give managers time, they will eventually be rewarded.
"If you look at Brian Clough, myself and Arsene, it proves longevity brings rewards," said Ferguson.
"His team play the right way and he has a stadium that is full every week. He has been an incredible manager for that football club."
United face Sunderland tomorrow, when they will be without Michael Owen, who strained his groin in the midweek win over Wolfsburg.
It had been feared the striker would be out for at least three weeks but Ferguson now expects Owen back to face Bolton on 17 October.
"We are quite pleased." said Ferguson. "It is understandable we wanted to take precautions given his past history but we are quite comfortable with the situation."
Ferguson also revealed that Edwin van der Sar and Rafael Da Silva were both nudging towards full fitness after a broken finger and shoulder surgery respectively, although neither is in contention to play at Old Trafford.

Buckmaster Beats Boss In WSMC Formula One At Willow Springs

Australia's Damon Buckmaster was the big winner in WSMC action at Willow Springs International Raceway on Sunday. In his first race with Graves Yamaha, Buckmaster beat the best of the locals to win the GMD Computrack Los Angeles 600cc Superstock race and the Toyota Cup Unlimited Formula One Grand Prix race. In both races, Buckmaster had to come from the back of the grid, through the pack, and past his employer Chuck Graves and local star Vincent Haskovec to take the win.

Haskovec and Graves didn't get shut out completely. Graves showed that he is the only team owner on the AMA circuit capable of beating his own rider when Graves bested Buckmaster early in the day in Performance Machine Open Superbike. Later, Haskovec beat Graves in the Hyperclub Formula Two final

White Tip Racing's Ken Chase won both the L&L Motorsports 750cc Superbike and Maxima Oil 750cc Superstock races.

Young guns Tony "The Tiger" Meiring, 17, and Chris Peris, 15, collected wins in 750cc Modified Production and Roadracing World 125cc Grand Prix, respectively.

Sunday also featured the first road racing success for Mike "Godfather of Freestyle" Metzger. After a fast and flammable first attempt late last year, Metzger, 25, returned to Willow Springs to complete his first Novice race in promising fashion.

New photos of the mystery shrouded BMW model spotted at the BMW Museum shows that it is indeed a coupe shape, ruling out the possibility that it is the F80 M3 sedan. However, new info and clues provide some guidance on what it may be.

BMW insider Scott26 shares his ruminations and thoughts on the next generation 7 Series, potential BMW X7, CS II, and BMW M1 revival (perhaps in the form of an M10).
We've just spied the next generation BMW X5 M prototype beginning its testing! Although still clad in full camouflage, signature M features leave no doubt that we are looking at the next X5 M.
The most conspicuous items are the quad M exhausts, active differential and blue brake calipers, which have become the signature color for M model brakes (i.e. F10 M5 and F12/F13 M6). Seen behind the blue M brakes are drilled rotors, the first for any X5 model. Hiding behind the front end camouflage are … CONTINUED
Anyone wanting a RWD X1 should look into buying a current generation X1, if a new report coming out of Autocar is true.
It's being reported that the current model's RWD / AWD platform (adopted from the E9X 3 series) will be replaced by the FWD / AWD UKL platform when the next gen BMW X1 hits the market around 2015. "UKL" is German for 'Unter Klasse' or 'entry level.'
The FWD UKL platform is the same one upon which the initial FWD BMW models and the next … CONTINUED
A mystery BMW model appeared at the BMW Museum a bit over a month ago, shrouded under a big blue tarp. It's yet to be positively identified, but could this possibly be the next generation F80 M3 sedan or F82 M4 coupe?

BMW and Toyota announced last week their plans to work together on the joint development of architecture and components for a future sports car.

A BMW 6 Series Gran Touring variant is rumored to have recently received a green light and is expected to debut in 2014.

The current F10 5 Series just arrived on the market in March 2010, but work has already started at BMW for the next generation 5 Series, which should come as a 2017 model.

Of course … CONTINUED
The on-again-off-again BMW supercar successor to the M1 is now rumored to be coming in 2016, according to Autobild. Why so long? Because the i8 electric hybrid sportscar launches in 2014 and BMW would like to give the i8 some time on the market without any potential sales cannibalization posed by a successor to the M1. We think it's unlikely that BMW will revive the M1 nameplate, but may instead choose a previously unused and higher identifier – perhaps the M10 (which was recently trademarked).
The market … CONTINUED
Someone at BMW M HQ in Garching has been gabbing and has let on to Bimmerfile that the next generation 2014 F80 M3 may be getting electric power steering instead of the hydraulic power steering that M cars have always been equipped with (even with the latest M5 and M5).
Porsche's new 911 991 is equipped with EPS which has been praised, which likely gives manufacturers such as BMW hope that a sporty EPS system can be developed for their most sporty cars – the … CONTINUED
For manual BMW fans, there may be hope yet! A knock against manual transmissions now is fuel consumption (compared to the latest autos). With 7, 8 or even 9 gears, automatic and automated transmissions have an efficiency advantage as the extra gears allow for more economical gear ratios (think of really long 7th and 8th gears to improve MPG figures). A manual transmission cannot match this as the spacing of the gears for the shifter become too close to each other. But, we've now discovered a … CONTINUED
BMW recently revealed the 2013 7 Series LCI / facelift refresh model [official thread]. Along with the newly updated looks and technology (the most important of which is the Navigation Pro iDrive system), the US is also set to receive a diesel 7 Series model (according to C&D) sometime next year.
It will be powered by the same 3.0 liter diesel inline 6-cylinder engine from the X5 xDrive35d. Actual output for the 7 Series application isn't yet known, but the standard configuration of this engine currently produces … CONTINUED
BMW has been busy trademarking. Below is a list of some recent BMW trademark filings for future potential models. Remember, just because a manufacturer registers a trademark does not mean that the model will necessarily come to fruition. But, it makes for some fun speculation and certainly paints a rough map of what potential future models we may see out of Munich.

2 Series Active Tourer
We previously reported on a possible four-door 2 series sedan / gran coupe. Autocar has now joined the rumormill on such a potential 4 door model.
The report claims that BMW has plans for or is discussing a RWD sedan based off the current 1 Series platform that will target the US and China markets in particular. Autocar calls it a 1 Series, but in all likelihood it would be called a 2 Series. If you remember, only the hatchbacks and upcoming FWD models are likely to … CONTINUED
We can finally confirm that the next generation M3 (F80 / F82) will be powered by an inline 6 cylinder engine. We spoke to the President of BMW North America, Mr. Ludwig Willisch, at the ongoing M6 convertible / 6 Gran Coupe US press launch and he has officially confirmed that the next generation M3′s engine will indeed feature an inline 6 layout and not a V6.
Until now, there has been no official confirmation (nor denial) from BMW on whether the F80 sedan and F82 coupe's … CONTINUED
New render of the upcoming BMW 4 Series Coupe (F32), which is said to be highly reflective (percentage) wise of the actual appearance of the final F32 coupe design.
The F32 is due to be revealed in the first half of 2013 and should come as a 2014 model year.
The current Z4 (E89) looks the part, but a prevailing sentiment among auto enthusiasts seems to be that its performance and driving dynamics do not quite live up to its sporty looks.
This may be changing in the next generation Z4 as Insideline is reporting that the third generation Z4 will feature a sportier and more engaging driving experience.
Besides the obvious mechanical changes which will occur, some of the styling is also said to be changing to help achieve this – by shortening the front hood just … CONTINUED
BMW 'Insider' Scott26 ruminates on potential future BMW SUVs and large coupe sedans, namely the BMW X7, X8, 7 series XLi, and revival of the CS Concept in the form of a CS II.
