The email sent visitors to a countdown clock, which at 2 p.m. broadcast Herman Morris' announcment that he would be running for mayor.
The "Bring Back Our City" site now links to the campaign site of Morris, the currently beleaguered former MLGW head.
Interestingly, Morris is shown repeatedly turning over a sign with the letters "H" and "M," or is it "H" and "W"? which read one way is for Herman Morris, and read the other stands for Willie Herenton, the incumbent mayor and Morris' major opponent in the upcoming race.

Swami Om is leaving no stone unturned in grabbing the limelight for his antics. Eve though he is not a part of the Bigg Boss 10 house anymore, Swami Om isn't sitting idlle, but is appearing on many talk showa held by various channels. From saying things like – he was given drugs and the women in the house are also drugged, he has irked many out there. before he even appeared on the show, Swami Om had made negative comments about Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and their respective wives. Here is a look at the controversial quotes by the ex-Bigg-Boss contestant.
Swami Om is not a part of the show, as he was asked to leave after throwing his pee on fellow contestants during a task. Post leaving the show, Swami has been making continuous attempts in putting Bigg Boss in a negative light. As soon as he was interviewed post leaving the show, he stated that he was drugged inside the house and so were the girls, who were also made to do wrong things inside the house. He called Salman Khan an ISI agent. Later Om Ji went on to saying that he has slapped Salman and has filed an FIR against him. This is not just the end, Swami Om also stated that Bigg Boss makers are requesting him to come back on the show, but he won't go, instead he would reach at the finale with 100 of his men.
Before Om Ji had also entered the Bigg Boss house he made comment on Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan. He had said, "I have asked SRK, Aamir and Saif, who have married Hindu girls to adopt Hinduism else I will kidnap them and convert them into Hindus forcefully. Kareena ne Love Jihad k andar us se shaadi ki gai, usne dhan k laalach mein Saif Ali Khan se shaadi ki, Sharmila Tagore ne bhi dhan k laalach mein shaadi ki. Gauri Khan garib thi, usne bhi paiso k liye Shah Rukh Khan se shaadi ki, waha bhi Love Jihad hai. Shah Rukh Khan's mother followed me and I told her that your son would be a superstar, therefore Gauri married him, because she knew his future was secure."
During the show, Swami Om narrated an incident of his rebirth after he was shot and his soul left hsi body. He had said, "When I was shot in my head and I was in the ICU, I was declared dead by the doctors. When I left my body, I was observing everyone from above. My soul could even see my dead body. I could see who all are in the operation theatre and what they are talking about. I even heard doctors declaring me dead. I also saw my people weeping outside. After I came back in my body, I shared my experience with my people and they were surprised that I was observing everything"
During one of the tasks on the show Swami Om told Bani J that if she doesn't let her daughter Priyanka Jagga win, then her mother would die. This did not just irk to contestants inside the house, but also left the vieres shocked, who expressed their anger on social media. This comment of Swami Om brought him into a negative light for many.

J Bone Joint Surg [Br] 2010;92-B:1501-8.
As manufacturers and surgeons strive for advances in the use and longevity of hip replacements, designs of implants may change. It is inherent upon us as surgeons, who have the interests of our patients as primary concern, to monitor the results of our interventions and report them.
The paper by Donell et al is important for several reasons. They identify a prosthesis that they have found to fail early warranting further scrutiny, the paper adds further data to the emerging understanding of patients who have a reaction to ions produced by their metal-on-metal articulation, and it highlights the benefits of comprehensive data collection and surveillance of patients.
The authors report a cohort of 652 hips in young patients (mean age 57 years) with a standard range of pre-operative hip pathology undergoing a hybrid metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty using an uncemented acetabular component and a cemented cobalt-chromium polished stem. The cohort has high data capture and low loss-to-follow-up. They report on a cohort that is realistic and recognisable to many institutions in terms of grade of operating surgeon, number of surgeons, range of approaches used, cement grade, component positioning and early post-operative complications. At a mean five-year follow-up they report a 14% rate of revision. Half of these hips were revised for pain, and the majority of these patients had normal radiographs. Revisions for infection and dislocation were within expected limits.1
Of the hips that were revised, 76% had an acetabular inclination measured between 30° and 50°, thus demonstrating that factors other than implant malpositioning might be contributory. The authors attribute the early failure to localised necrosis following massive metallosis of unknown cause. Peri-prosthetic necrosis and fluid under pressure can be the result of a tissue reaction to localized high volume of metal ions, or as a result of a type IV hypersensitivity reaction.
The authors report nerve involvement in a pseudotumour, resulting in a sciatic nerve palsy that did not improve after revision. Case reports are emerging of this phenomenon, also those involving the femoral nerve. The results of grafting the nerve in this situation are unknown.2 The continued reporting of the outcome of nerve injury under these circumstances is important.
The majority of patients with a metal-on-metal articulation have a well performing implant, and the impulse to 'throw the baby out with the bath water' should perhaps be avoided. However, adverse reactions in patients with specific implants and bearings are important for selection of well-performing implants. The risk of developing adverse soft tissue reactions to metal-on-metal implants may be multi-factorial3 and related to patient factors, surgical positioning of the implant and specific implant tribology. In the context of the Medical Device Alert of Metal-on-metal hip replacements issued by the MHRA on 22nd April 20104 and Advice to surgeons from the British Hip Society and the British Orthopaedic Association regarding the withdrawal of the DePuy ASR and XL metal-on-metal bearings 25th October 2010,5 this paper highlights the importance of surveillance of patients with a metal-on-metal hip articulation. Donell et al draw attention to pain as one of the first clinical features of a failing metal-on-metal hip and (after exclusion of infection, fracture, referred pain, loosening and soft tissue impingement) MARS MRI or ultrasound examination and measurement of blood cobalt and chromium ions are indicated. Pain may be related to fluid under pressure in the soft tissues. Revision surgery should be performed early to prevent progressive and extensive soft tissue damage, which is associated with poor outcomes after revision.6
The biological patient factors associated with early failure of metal-on-metal hips are incompletely understood. Donell et al suggest that a subtype of patients may have an idiosyncratic immune response to ions generated by their hip articulation. This raises the possibility of genetic or environmental factors contributing to the patients' biological reaction to metal ions. This perhaps furthers the case for localised patient surveillance of all arthroplasty patients; registries may not pick up adverse reactions in patients in a geographical area where there is a higher than expected failure rate of an implant or bearing.
The management of patients with a painful metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty requires a multi-disciplinary approach; specialist hip surgeons, radiologists and pathologists are necessary to perform the appropriate investigations and management of the patient. Donell et al formed an investigating committee of expert personnel at the request of the Research and Ethics Committees. The quality of interpretation of radiological and pathological specimens is clinician dependent, as is the results of revision surgery. These patients may be optimally managed in regional centres of expertise. Retrieved implants should be sent for analysis to institutions with special interest in such work if meaningful data is to be gleaned from large numbers of specimens.
The paper of Donell et al contains useful implant-specific data, and adds to the body of knowledge on metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty. The clinical significance of reporting adverse early outcomes of an implant is far higher than that of early good results. Surveillance of our patients and the outcome of our interventions are important for our future patients and our profession.

Nick Markakis supplied an answer you would expect today when he was asked about reaching 1,500 career hits. He noted the achievement, but the win meant more.
"It's pretty cool," Markakis said. "Lot of hard work, time and dedication and it pays off, but I don't look at things like that. The scoreboard is the main outcome. We won whether I got no hits or three hits, it's a victory."
It was the first time in club history that the Orioles won a 1-0 game on a leadoff homer. It was the 28th time in club history the Orioles won 1-0 and the only run came on a homer.
For Markakis, he had been a leadoff hitter 191 games before today. But this was his first leadoff homer. He took a 3-2 pitch from Hisashi Iwakuma over the right-field wall to start his day.
"I didn't even know that (it was my first leadoff homer)," Markakis said. "I don't know what to say to it. Good to get the first one out of the way, right?
"Look for a ball up in the zone. Last time I faced him, there were a lot of splits down. He's the type of pitcher you have to wait him out and get him up in the zone. When he is up in the zone, don't miss it. I saw the ball up and didn't miss it."
Markakis began the day with 1,498 hits and ended with 1,501 after adding a single and double in a 3-for-4 day.
The Orioles scored six runs in this series, yet won two of three.
"What is the outcome? That is what we're out here to do, win ballgames, whether it's one run like today or 10 runs. A win is a win," he said.
"We'll get the offense going, it's just a matter of time. It's August of a long baseball season. Guys are getting tired, but once that playoff push comes, it's adrenaline time. We've got a great offense. I believe in our offense and we'll get things going."
With Toronto losing 6-1 to Houston today, the Orioles' American League East lead grew to 3 1/2 games.
"That's what we have to do to put ourselves in a good situation toward the end of the season," Markakis said. "We know what kind of teams we have to face and what our schedule is like. Just have to win the game that day."
A reporter asked Markakis if he thought the general public appreciated his play and career.
"I have no idea. All that really matters to me is what my teammates think," he said. "If you can put yourself on that field every day and give your team a chance to win, that says a lot about a lot of the players we have here.
"It's a long, tough season. You have to have a good mental state. You'll have some tough and good stretches, but you get an opportunity every day. That's the beauty of baseball. If you get respected by your teammates, that's all that matters."
Chris Tillman gave the Orioles seven scoreless innings of four-hit ball today. He is now 2-5 with an ERA of 2.78 at home.
"It was a good start," he said. "Little inconsistent early on with my fastball and got a little behind in the pitch count. But hats off to (Nick) Hundley for sticking with me with the fastball.
"The fastball command slowly got better and better as the game went on. Was able to execute some pitches and work through it."
Tillman had no explanation for his strong record against Seattle, the team that drafted him in 2006. He is 6-0 with an ERA of 2.03 against the Mariners in six career starts.
"I don't know. Wish I could do that every time," he said. "It's just another team now, I think. We had a good game plan. I go out with the same mindset every start."
Tillman and Markakis were co-stars today, but Tillman took a moment to note that Markakis reached 1,500 hits and talk about what he means to this team.
"Everything," Tillman said. "He's impressive. What he comes to the field with every day is impressive. He's no doubt the leader on this team. We all respect him tremendously. I don't know what this team would be without him. He's that solid, he really is."

Surround sound issues
G'day guys,
I am using an onboard VIA High Definition audio device on my M2N68-CM motherboard and wish to connect the sound system from my TV to my PC. I have plugged each speaker into the DVD player/main unit. I then plugged a Y adapter from the red and white AUX IN ports on the main unit into the green jack on my sound card. It seems only two speakers work, the left and right speakers - the sub and center and remaining speakers do not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.
EDIT: It's not actually the sound system from my TV, but the sound system i was using for my TV.
|My System Specs
|13 Jul 2010
To get surround sound, you'll need a surround receiver that has at least 5.1 channels of output AND input. You can convert the 3.5mm from your PC's jacks to Composite, as long as you keep the same quantity of channels.
|My System Specs
|13 Jul 2010
Well that's strange because my other surround system works the same way and works flawlessly.
How do I go about getting a surround receiver and converting the 3.5mm from my PC's jacks.
|My System Specs
|13 Jul 2010
Newegg.com - Receivers, Home Theater Receiver, Stereo Receiver, AV Control Receiver, 7.1 Receiver
This is what you could use for turning 3.5mm into RCA
Newegg.com - Cables To Go 40423 6 feet 3.5mm Stereo Male to Two RCA Stereo Male M-M
If you take a look at the back of a receiver, you can see where all of the inputs reside

In the image above, the channels you would have running from you PC [sub, center, etc] are below and to the right of the Monitor Out jacks. Receivers are full of jacks so whichever one you choose, make sure you read the book.

The database — which features detailed information on more than 63,000 registered sex offenders — can now be searched in English, Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese.
Visitors can select the language of their choice at the Web siteat http://MegansLaw.ca.gov and throughthe attorney general's home page at http://www.ag.ca.gov.
Information on the Internet site that will be provided in the 12 languages includes the registrants' gender, race and physical description, and a description of the criminal convictions that require the person to register as a sex offender.
The registrants' names, aliases and ages, and the county and ZIP code in which each individual last registered, will be provided only in English, according to the attorney general's office.
Web site visitors also will be able to directly report information concerning the sex offender, including suspected violation of registration requirements, to the state Department of Justice for follow-up by appropriate law enforcement agencies.
Officials called it one of the most advanced public sex offender registry Web sites in the nation.

The former vicarage and private chapel in one of the most beautiful private nature reserves in Italy
This is one of the most exclusive private country estates in Italy owned by the same family for generations. The estate with its castle lies in the heart of Umbria. It dominates the suggestive valley of Monte Tezio and it is located only 20 km from Perugia and 15 km from Lago Trasimeno. With its 18000 acres of immaculate woods, valleys, lakes and rivers, it is the perfect place for a relaxing and private holiday providing a degree of comfort and elegance that it is difficult to surpass. This haven of tranquility is the perfect setting for those who seek a holiday retreat from their frenetic lifestyles and an escape to something more spiritual and calm, enjoying the luxuries of time out and privacy, yet backed by a five-star service and by the facilities and commodities of the nearby luxury golf resort, complete with 18 hole golf course, club and restaurant. Four spectacular villas (Villa San Salvo offered here,
Villa nel Verde
Torre nel Verde
/ all featured in our portfolio) have just been restored to offer guests the possibility to explore and live Umbria and fully enjoy the charm of the Umbrian countryside. The important towns in Umbria are Perugia, Spoleto, Todi, Gubbio, Norcia, Assisi and Orvieto, and they are all in daytrip distance.
Villa San Salvo is set on top of a hill, affording beautiful views across the forests as well as across a beautifully championship designed 18 holes golf course. The villa is a XIV century farmhouse and chapel set in the heart of an immaculate nature reserve, affording beautiful views across endless woods, olive trees and green valleys. This used to be the church of the estate, until the 70ies the farmers living on the estate would meet here for Sunday mass, which was followed by a market.
The house was completely restored in 2004. With immaculate furnishings in warm, rich colors, comfortable furniture, and en suite bedrooms, the villa has all the comforts of a modern home with the services of a 5 star resort. The villa sleeps up to 8 people and has 2 king bedrooms and 2 twin bedrooms. The ground floor has a spacious, open-plan living and dining room with working fireplace. The dining table seats up to 8. The sunny kitchen with breakfast table has French windows leading to gardens and outside dining area. A corridor leads to the converted chapel which contains a further magnificent sitting room with TV and other facilities and a king double bedroom with en suite shower room. All the bedrooms have their own individual color schemes and are of a good size with excellent facilities and magnificent views. The surrounding garden is fenced and has private pool, framing the magnificent views of the green valley.
The 18 holes championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, with golf clubhouse and restaurant facilities in the same estate is located at only 4 minutes from the villa, accessible also with golf cart through a private path across the nature reserve. Guests staying have discounts on the golf green fees and at the clubhouse restaurant.
Please note
The property is in a rural location, on the top of a hill (600 meter above sea level) within a country estate, which is a large Umbrian active agricultural farm. The access road to the property is a long and occasionally steep private white gravel road, not suitable for sports cars or any other low-height car. We would recommend the use of a 4 wheel drive car.

Of all music criticism's favorite fallacies, few are as entrenched as the notion of superstar succession: that pop icons don't simply evolve and change over time, they are violently usurped, "Golden Bough"-style.
Robert Christgau announced Prince's ascension to rock's satyr of choice by advising Mick Jagger to "pack up his penis and go home." The generational clash between Madonna and Lady Gaga can still incite furious flame wars, likewise with rival rap queen bees Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj. And the hyperbolic race to crown a "next Bob Dylan" has been ongoing since the 1960s.
Yet that leaves little room in the critical imagination for the enigmatic exceptions, the stars who seem to buck numerous conventions without creating an imitable future model. And Jennifer Lopez is certainly one of those.

20 – 24 Kirk Wynd is a vacant property which was formerly known as Austin's Sports Bar. With the assistance of a THI grant, the upper floors of the building awill be converted into residential use. This is the only THI grant funded project that is bringing vacant floor space back into use.
Externally, the upper floor windows will be reinstated to their original and traditional design. Repairs will be carried out to bring the building back into good condition and it will be redecorated.
What has been an empty property is now being converted into comfortable, attractive and well-design residential properties. Bringing this space back into use will help to enliven the town centre.
Little is known about the early history of this building, but it was built sometime in the early 19th century. The building has a prominent position on the corner of Kirk Wynd and Manse Place and frames the view of the Parish Church from Kirk Wynd. Early on, during the project works, a shop sign (fascia board) for 'Shieling Steakhouse' was uncovered (see image below).

About NCCE's:
What is a Nationally Certified Custody Evaluator (NCCE)?
A custody evaluator is a mental health professional who makes a written recommendation to the Court as to what custody-visitation arrangement would be in the best interests of the children involved.
Custody evaluations are most often utilized in highly contested custody disputes. In the course of their investigation, a custody evaluator will interview both parents, observe the children with each of the parents, conduct age-appropriate interviews with the children, and interview other significant people such as teachers, daycare providers, healthcare providers, extended family members and friends. It is not unusual for the professional to administer some standard psychological tests. It may also be helpful to the evaluator to visit the child's home or to visit the place where the child may live.
In the interest of objectivity, the professional selected to conduct the custody evaluation should not be a person who has previously treated any member of the family. It is also recommended that each party pay one-half the costs of the custody evaluation, to avoid the appearance that the professional may be biased towards the parent who paid the fee.
A well drafted report will contain a summary of the information collected, an assessment of the family and the needs of the children and will also recommend a custody/visitation arrangement. The custody evaluator's recommendation is just one factor that the Court will take into consideration when deciding what custody/visitation arrangement is in the children's long range best interests.
Members will be mailed a full-sized certificate containing all of the relevant information and attesting to the fact that the named recipient "has satisfied the requirements for education, training, and experience, contained in PACE'S Criteria and is therefore recognized as a Nationally Certified Custody Evaluator."
Additionally, court personnel and prospective clients will be invited to visit the Academy Register, where you will be listed as a certified NCCE. To see the Academy Register, click on the link in the left sidebar that says, "Visit The Academy Register of NCCE's and NCPC's."


text: Right. I've read post and post about internal memory issues a but I just can't figure out what my issue is. I've got an unbranded desire running on the most recent official firmware (updated yesterday) I'm forever downloading new apps and deleting old ones. I run on the 15mb threshold most of the time but no matter what I do I usually end up back at 15mb. To do my update yesterday I had to delete at least 10mb so it could install. Deleted several apps and had 26mb free. After the update I still had the 26mb and reinstalled one app jorte. Today I'm back at 15mb without downloading any apps. Cache on dolphin browser is SD card and I have as much, where possible, saved to the SD card but something seems to keep filling up my internal memory. I've carried out several factory re-sets to no joy. Anyone have any ideas?

Many tropical countries suffer from persistent cloud cover inhibiting spatially consistent reporting of deforestation and forest degradation for REDD+. Data gaps remain even when compositing Landsat-like optical satellite imagery over one or two years. Instead, medium resolution SAR is capable of providing reliable deforestation information but shows limited capacity to identify forest degradation. © 2008-2012 IEEE.

Fires are increasingly responsible for forest degradation in the humid tropics due to the expansion of fire-dependent agriculture, fragmentation, intensive logging practices and severe droughts. However, these forest fires have been largely overlooked by negotiations for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+). This paper examines how forest fires affect REDD+ schemes by compromising carbon permanence; undermining the potential of sustainable forest management and reforestation and regeneration activities in tropical countries; and threatening the additional benefits that can be accrued from REDD+, including biodiversity conservation and rural poverty alleviation. Narrowly focusing on avoiding deforestation, the sustainable management of forests or regeneration schemes will not always guarantee protection from fire occurrence, and investments in tropical forests may ultimately fail to achieve long-term emission reductions unless they also reduce the risk of forest fires. Integrating forest fire reduction into REDD+ presents many challenges, requiring: changes in agricultural practices that take place outside of the remaining forests; the monitoring and prediction of spatio-temporal patterns of forest fires across whole biomes; guarantees of additionality; avoiding leakage of fire-dependent agriculture; ensuring that responsibilities for fire management are fairly distributed; protection for rural livelihoods; and that any new activities result in positive outcomes for local people. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Tropical forests are diminishing in extent due primarily to the rapid expansion of agriculture, but the future magnitude and geographical distribution of future tropical deforestation is uncertain. Here, we introduce a dynamic and spatially-explicit model of deforestation that predicts the potential magnitude and spatial pattern of Amazon deforestation. Our model differs from previous models in three ways: (1) it is probabilistic and quantifies uncertainty around predictions and parameters; (2) the overall deforestation rate emerges "bottom up", as the sum of local-scale deforestation driven by local processes; and (3) deforestation is contagious, such that local deforestation rate increases through time if adjacent locations are deforested. For the scenarios evaluated-pre- and post-PPCDAM ("Plano de Ação para Proteção e Controle do Desmatamento na Amazônia")-the parameter estimates confirmed that forests near roads and already deforested areas are significantly more likely to be deforested in the near future and less likely in protected areas. Validation tests showed that our model correctly predicted the magnitude and spatial pattern of deforestation that accumulates over time, but that there is very high uncertainty surrounding the exact sequence in which pixels are deforested. The model predicts that under pre-PPCDAM (assuming no change in parameter values due to, for example, changes in government policy), annual deforestation rates would halve between 2050 compared to 2002, although this partly reflects reliance on a static map of the road network. Consistent with other models, under the pre-PPCDAM scenario, states in the south and east of the Brazilian Amazon have a high predicted probability of losing nearly all forest outside of protected areas by 2050. This pattern is less strong in the post-PPCDAM scenario. Contagious spread along roads and through areas lacking formal protection could allow deforestation to reach the core, which is currently experiencing low deforestation rates due to its isolation. © 2013 Rosa et al.

Different deforestation agents, such as small farmers and large agricultural businesses, create different spatial patterns of deforestation. We analyzed the proportion of deforestation associated with different-sized clearings in the Brazilian Amazon from 2002 through 2009. We used annual deforestation maps to determine total area deforested and the size distribution of deforested patches per year. The size distribution of deforested areas changed over time in a consistent, directional manner. Large clearings (>1000 ha) comprised progressively smaller amounts of total annual deforestation. The number of smaller clearings (6.25-50.00 ha) remained unchanged over time. Small clearings accounted for 73% of all deforestation in 2009, up from 30% in 2002, whereas the proportion of deforestation attributable to large clearings decreased from 13% to 3% between 2002 and 2009. Large clearings were concentrated in Mato Grosso, but also occurred in eastern Pará and in Rondônia. In 2002 large clearings accounted for 17%, 15%, and 10% of all deforestation in Mato Grosso, Pará, and Rondônia, respectively. Even in these states, where there is a highly developed agricultural business dominated by soybean production and cattle ranching, the proportional contribution of large clearings to total deforestation declined. By 2009 large clearings accounted for 2.5%, 3.5%, and 1% of all deforestation in Mato Grosso, Pará, and Rondônia, respectively. These changes in deforestation patch size are coincident with the implementation of new conservation policies by the Brazilian government, which suggests that these policies are not effectively reducing the number of small clearings in primary forest, whether these are caused by large landholders or smallholders, but have been more effective at reducing the frequency of larger clearings. © 2012 Society for Conservation Biology.

New supply chain interventions offer promise to reduce deforestation from expansion of commercial agriculture, as more multinational companies agree to stop sourcing from farms with recent forest clearing. We analyzed the zero-deforestation cattle agreements signed by major meatpacking companies in the Brazilian Amazon state of Pará using property-level data on beef supply chains. Our panel analysis of daily purchases by slaughterhouses before and after the agreements demonstrates that they now avoid purchasing from properties with deforestation, which was not the case prior to the agreements. Supplying ranchers registered their properties in a public environmental registry nearly 2 years before surrounding non-supplying properties, and 85% of surveyed ranchers indicated that the agreements were the driving force. In addition, supplying properties had significantly reduced deforestation rates following the agreements. Our results demonstrate important changes in the beef supply chain, but the agreements' narrow scope and implementation diminish outcomes for forest conservation. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Manchester City have completed the signing of Borussia Dortmund star Ilkay Gundogan the club revealed today.
BBC meanwhile report that the City paid approximately £20 million for the Germany intentional of Turkish origin.
Gunodgan also sent out a tweet confirming the move and another explaining why he decided to make the move.
— Ilkay Gündogan (@IlkayGuendogan) June 2, 2016
Gundogan was expected to join Germany for the European Championships this summer but will miss the tournament due to injury.
The 24-year-old marks who also missed the 2014 World Cup with injury has become the first transfer of the Pep Guardiola era.
Gundogan will also be reunited with former manager Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League next season although he will be playing for an opposing side this time around.
The midfielder initially joined Dortmund from Nuremberg in 2011 under the stewardship of Klopp and helped the Bundesliga giants reach the 2013 Champions League final.
Gundogan signed a contract extension last season that still had a year to run.

Should post_class() and body_class() be used in the "page.php" template?
I am building a custom WordPress theme for one of my clients and I noticed the new post_class() and body_class() functions in WordPress 2.8 and thought I would take advantage of them. I like the idea behind them and they should lead to some cool ways of creating custom themes, but if I use the body_class() on the <body> tag and post_class() on the "post" <div> on a Page (page.php) I run into problems.
The Default WordPress theme doesn't use the post_class() in the "page.php" template and I am guessing this is because they ran into the same problem I did.
If you have the post_class() and body_class() function on a Page then your <body> tag will be assigned the "page" CSS class and your post <div> will also be assigned the "page" CSS class. I know there are workarounds by using multiple CSS selectors in my "style.css" file to narrow it down to the exact "page" CSS class I want to style, but it would be easier and more straight forward if both of these functions didn't assign the same CSS class name when used on a Page.
On single posts (single.php) and other pages (index.php) under the default theme I see that they are using both of these functions together without any problems.
1.) Should I never use both of these in my "page.php" template file?
2.) Is this a bug and will it be addressed in a future update?
3.) Am I using the post_class() and body_class() functions in a way they were never expected to be used?
I am just trying to find some direction on if I should consider using both of these function on Pages or if I should use the Default theme method for "page.php" and leaving the post_class() function out completely as shown below:
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
