Yea, it's true. He is a tool with an agenda and at the same time if you owned a company and you thought you could raise prices without altering your sales you would be crazy not too.
Games will only get more expensive. I think I heard somewhere that the Game download service Microsoft was offering, priced the games at around $100. That is highway robbery! Why charge more for digital media? You would think the amount saved by not printing discs would be much greater than the cost of some servers (especially for Microsoft).
what a b*stard!! i wonder how it cost in Brazil!
if 60 dollars games are 300 reais... imagine 150 dollars games...
rich b*stard!
this is why people steps into piracy. GAMES ARE ALREADY TOO MUCH.. i only have 5 games on my ps3 becuase of the prices!
This is exactly why America (US and CA) should have a depromotion system..
This guy obviously doesn't have a kid who plays video games or has ever had video games. That or he's payed waay to fooking much.

December 08, 2010 -- Anonymous from Pembroke, NH I don't think that anyone can truly understand the possibilities of this card. I recently played a game against a friend of mine, and he was running an elf deck that he continued to gain about 20 life a turn. However, he had no real offense to hurt me yet, so I kept playing huge creatures and blanchwood armors until eventually I had a 25/25 plated slagwurm on the field, then I played this card. At this point, he was at 220 life. I attacked with everything that I had which included my 50/50 trampling slagwurm. I brought him down to 10 life, then killed him next turn. |

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Philip Roth
Philip Roth, the narrator, a writer in his mid-fifties. Following knee surgery, Roth had a mental breakdown, possibly caused by the drug Halcion, which caused him to be delusional. At first, he wonders whether the events in the story he tells are in fact delusions. He relates the story as a confession and says that he has changed the names of characters to protect their identities. In January of 1988, he discovers that someone is impersonating him. The impersonator is attending the trial, in Jerusalem, of John Demjanjuk and is making public appearances and statements to the press. Roth decides to go to Jerusalem, where he confronts the impersonator, whom he begins to call Moishe Pipik. An old, seemingly impoverished Jew (later identified as Smilesburger) gives him a check for $1 million to support Diasporism, a cause promoted by the impostor. George Ziad, an old friend of Roth, tells Roth of his support for Diasporism. Roth pretends to believe in it and says that he would be glad to meet Yassir Arafat and discuss it. On his way back to his hotel that evening, Roth is stopped by Israeli soldiers and is almost beaten, but one of the soldiers recognizes him and allows him to continue on his way. When he returns to his hotel, he discovers that Pipik is in his room. Pipik asks for the $1 million check, and Roth discovers that it is missing. Roth gets Pipik out of his room, but Jinx Possesski arrives later and tells Roth about Pipik's plot to kidnap John Demjanjuk, Jr. Roth plans to leave Jerusalem but stays because he realizes that if Pipik succeeds in his kidnapping attempt, the elder Demjanjuk would be supported in his claims that he cannot get a fair trial. Roth later is kidnapped, apparently with Smilesburger's complicity. Smilesburger asks Roth to participate in an intelligence gathering mission. In the epilogue, Roth describes a letter, purportedly from Jinx, telling of Pipik's demise; he think it actually was written by Pipik. The letter says that Pipik died on January 17, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War. The letter warns him not to ridicule Pipik or Diasporism in a book or he will never be left alone. Roth sends a copy of his manuscript about the Pipik incident to Smilesburger for approval and later meets with him. At the meeting, Smilesburger says he has retired. He pleads with Roth to say that the work is fiction or to remove the chapter about his intelligence mission, and he hints that Roth might put himself in danger by printing the entire book as fact. Smilesburger offers back the manuscript, in a briefcase that contains an envelope...

Bibliography (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Bloom, Harold. "Operation Roth." The New York Review of Books 40 (April 22, 1993): 45-48. Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities at Yale, has long admired Roth's writing. He particularly praises the novel's narrative exuberance, moral intelligence, and high humor.
Ezrahi, Sidra DeKoven, et al. "Philip Roth's Diasporism: A Symposium." Tikkun 8 (May/June, 1993): 41-45. Several writers express their views about the concept of diaspora in Roth's Operation Shylock. An in-depth and wide-ranging look at the novel.
Furman, Andrew. "A New Other' in American Jewish Literature: Philip Roth's Israel Fiction." Contemporary Literature 36 (Winter, 1995): 633-653. Focuses on the theme that centers on Israel and projects the concept of the Other' on the Arab. Although it seems that Roth has escaped the current literary trend of demonizing the Arab, Furman demonstrates that a close textual reading of The Counterlife and Operation Shylock reveals that the theme is reiterated in both works.
Halkin, Hillel. "How to Read Philip Roth." Commentary 97 (February, 1994): 43-48. Although some critics maintain that Roth is steering away from themes of Judaism, Halkin argues that Roth's later works are dominated by Jewish themes. Halkin presents several critical analyses of Roth's books, including Operation Shylock.
Safer, Elaine B. "The Double, Comic Irony, and Postmodernism in Philip Roth's Operation Shylock. MELUS 21 (Winter, 1996): 157-172. Safer asserts that the humor in Roth's novel revolves around the ironic use of doubles and a postmodernist blurring of the boundaries between fact and fiction.
Updike, John. "Recruiting Raw Nerves." The New Yorker 69 (March 15, 1993): 109-112. As a novelist, Updike is in many ways Roth's opposite: coolly disciplined, WASPish, never boisterous. Yet he is an astute and generous critic, and his review praises Roth highly for his evocative style and ingenious plotting. Updike, however, does complain that the book has too many long monologues and that Roth is "an exhausting author to be with."

I have a dell vostro460 windows7 professional and word 2010, and a usb floppy drive.when i open a file in the floppy drive it lists the files on the disk, I click on one to select the file, word 2010 loads and displays the file, I then make changes and add somthing more and then click to 'save as' with a new filename. instead of saving the file in a new filename, the floppy is driven and fails to save but then OS or word 2010 trashes the file and asks if 'do you want to format ?' I have lost 3 floppies with valuable data and I suspect it is the O.S to blame. Please help. Rufino Cordeiro

I think I would copy the files from the floppy disk to a folder on the hard drive and avoid trying to edit the files actually on the floppy disk or save any files to the floppy disk. Just use the files already on the floppy as archive material, but don't try to edit them on the floppy disk at all.

Floppy possibly has not much room on it and when you make changes it gets fragmented (has to try to fit a bit here a bit there)
I would do as Peter says don't try to edit them on the floppy disk at all.

A CPAP / CEPAP machine is used to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The abbreviation means Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. A CPAP / CEPAP machine is a simple machine, consisting of a mask and a hose. The role of such a machine is to apply constant pressure of air through the breathing passages, keeping them open, so the patient is able to breathe in air.
Things to Consider When Using a CPAP / CEPAP Machine
Air Pressure
Although a CPAP / CEPAP machine is made to treat obstructive sleep apnea, some patients can't really handle the constant air pressure driven by the machine. The solution to this is only available if the patient is allowed to change the pressure of the air on your CPAP / CEPAP machine. If this option is not available, then there are other models that can start with a low pressure in the first minutes to allow the patient to fall asleep, then ramp up to the prescribed pressure after some time.
Mask Size and Fitting
A very important element of any CPAP / CEPAP machine is the mask. Most patients think that it doesn't matter what type of mask or what size of mask they wear, since CPAP / CEPAP machines are the same. This is only partially true – a CPAP / CEPAP machine works on the same principles, with the same way of operation, regardless of the mask. However, a good fitted mask is very important since masks could come off during sleep. Not to mention the inconvenience of a poorly fitted mask cutting down the blood flow in the face. The face and the location of the mouths and noses of different people have different sizes. Taking time to carefully select a CPAP / CEPAP mask that fits correctly will save countless restless nights of constant adjusting for the patient.
Claustrophobic Patients
Claustrophobia is another concern when considering CPAP / CEPAP therapy. Some patients simply cannot bear having a CPAP / CEPAP machine's mask strapped around their heads. In such cases, they should try taking things gradually. At first, a patient might want to "practice" by taking the straps off and holding it in place on their face using their hand. Then, after a certain time, they will get used to wearing the mask with all parts, while awake and ultimately while asleep. So, even if a patient is claustrophobic, it is still possible for the patient to use a CPAP / CEPAP machine.
Trouble Falling Asleep
Some people will also have problems trying to fall asleep when they initially start using their CPAP / CEPAP machine. This isn't something caused by the machine itself, it's more likely to be caused by the mask, since many patients will need time to adjust to wearing the mask while sleeping. It's true that a CPAP / CEPAP machine mask is something that can give patients a lot of problems. However, the benefits outweighs the inconvenience. Once the patient gets used to the mask it does solve the snoring problems and the other sleep apnea symptoms.
A CPAP / CEPAP machine is one of the best treatment methods for obstructive sleep apnea. Consult your doctor for additional information. Ultimately however, by using a CPAP / CEPAP machine correctly, the loud snoring goes away as well as the symptoms associated with obstructive sleep apnea.

GUARDIAN – The sports quiz of the week: Sturridge, Sochi winners and Shrewsbury Town
Featuring tries in the Six Nations, goals in the Champions League football and the medal tables at the Winter OlympicsPaul Campbell
DetailsFeaturing tries in the Six Nations, goals in the Champions League football and the medal tables at the Winter OlympicsPaul Campbell
DetailsThe man who has a better league goalscoring rate than his team-mate Luis Suárez could boost England's World Cup hopesIt is a familiar sight in this winter of deluge: Daniel Sturridge pointing to the sky, past the rain and clouds and towards the heavens. The Liverpool striker likes to pray; right now he seems to have a hotline to his maker. Not only has he scored in eight consecutive Premier League games – and 22 times in 26 matches this season – but he is the huge favourite to lead the line for England at the World Cup this summer. It is some turnaround for a player who left Chelsea 13 months ago with an undistinguished record of 13 goals in 63 appearances.This season Sturridge has scored every 83 minutes in the league – which, incredibly, is better than Cristiano Ronaldo (a goal every 84 minutes), Luis Suárez (one every 86 minutes), Lionel Messi (every 95 minutes) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (every 97 minutes). Only Sergio Agüero, who averages a goal every 80 minutes, is more prolific in the major European leagues.When asked to explain this rise into the upper echelons of the goalscoring ranks, the certainty Sturridge displays in front of goal deserts him. "I don't even really know," he said. "The manager has shown faith in me to give me an opportunity in the position that I've always played in … I've got faith in God. I pray a lot and I'm just focused totally on my job."But there is another explanation beyond the positional or metaphysical. Sturridge's purple patch is not a wild aberration or statistical outlier. He has always been talented – as he showed by scoring eight goals in 11 games while on loan at Bolton in 2011 and nine in 19 Premier League appearances under André Villas-Boas at Chelsea – he just needed greater opportunities to show it.True, in 129 Premier League matches, Sturridge has scored 54 goals – a bit under one every other game. But the unvarnished statistics mask the real picture: at Manchester City and Chelsea he was a bit-part actor in a giant theatre ensemble: he got a short scene here, a cameo there. Of those 129 Premier League appearances, 54 were as a substitute.When you look at Sturridge's goal tally per 90 minutes in the Premier League across his career a dramatically different picture emerges. He has scored an average of 0.69 league goals per 90 minutes. That puts him ahead of all the other great Liverpool strikers in the Premier League era, including Michael Owen (0.59 goals every 90 minutes), Fernando Torres (0.53), Robbie Fowler (0.52) and, yes, Suárez (0.64).More impressively still, Sturridge's tally puts him above Robin van Persie (0.68 goals per 90 minutes), Alan Shearer (0.61) and Ronaldo (0.52) when he was in the Premier League. In fact, Opta's stats show that only three players in Premier League history have scored at a better rate than Sturridge: Agüero (0.78 per 90), Thierry Henry (0.74) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (0.70).In some ways it is understandable that Sturridge's ability was overlooked for so long. He is not a pricey foreign orchid or a delicate bud in the first stages of bloom. He is a 24-year-old from Birmingham, who flowered a little later than others. But the exciting thing for Liverpool and England is that Sturridge could yet get better.Playing alongside Suárez undoubtedly helps: the Uruguayan not only leads the league in assists but he is a distraction and a tease: he attracts defenders' eyes that might otherwise be focused elsewhere. But Sturridge has scored when Suárez has been absent and when Liverpool have been more defensive.Of course, he does not glitter in every game: he was unusually wasteful in the FA Cup fifth-round match against Arsenal, while during the 4-0 win against Everton Sturridge went for his hat-trick rather than play in Suárez, much to the Uruguayan's disgust. Yet there is scant evidence that Sturridge is greedy. This season his average shots per 90 minutes (4.03) is lower than Agüero, Messi, Suárez and Ibrahimovic, who all average between five and six shots per 90 minutes, and Ronaldo, who averages 7.88. And who can blame Sturridge for letting fly when his shot conversion rate – the number of shots resulting in a goal – is 30%, better than Agüero (25.9%), Messi (23.7%), Suárez (22.3%) and Ronaldo (17.6%).Sturridge also does better than Messi, Ronaldo and co in another Opta stat: big chances converted – a measure of how successful a player is at converting one-on-ones or shots close to goal. In fact, wherever you look the data tells you the same thing: Sturridge is the real deal.Brendan Rodgers has learned how to make best use of him. The question is whether Roy Hodgson can do so too. Certainly the idea of Sturridge leading the line, with Wayne Rooney behind him, supported by two free spirits out wide, makes you wonder whether England's Brazilian adventure might be less rickety than expected.Sturridge's scoring run cannot go on forever, of course.

• Sturridge scored in eighth successive Premier League game• Henderson winner keeps title hopes aliveThe need to respond to victories for the top three in the Premier League 24 hours earlier and talk of the title got to Liverpool against Swansea City. But, nervously, carelessly and belatedly, Brendan Rodgers' team got the job done. Garry Monk's players cut dejected figures on the final whistle after their stirring recovery ended pointless while the reaction around Anfield was one of relief. At this stage of the season, however, it does not matter how victories arrive, just as long as they do.Anfield has grown accustomed to Liverpool either blitzing opponents out of the game before half-time or relying on brilliance in attack to cover shortcomings in their defence. There was an element of both as Swansea's adventure and quality in possession produced an open, richly entertaining contest.Withstanding the early Liverpool onslaught has become a critical test for most visitors of late. They know it is coming but few pass it, and Monk's team were behind inside three minutes thanks to a sublime pass through the heart of Swansea's defence by Raheem Sterling. The flying winger was on hand when Àngel Rangel over-ran the ball deep inside the Liverpool half. There appeared little on but Sterling further enhanced his prospects of an England recall by sweeping a glorious pass behind Ashley Williams and Daniel Sturridge rounded goalkeeper Michel Vorm to convert. In doing so, Sturridge became only the second player in Premier League history to score in eight successive games. Ruud van Nistelrooy the other.Unlike Arsenal and Everton, Swansea responded impressively to the setback and were the more composed, enterprising team for the next 18 minutes. Then Liverpool promptly scored again. The goals may have dried up for Luis Suárez recently but his contribution to the team's attack has remained constant. An instinctive cross-field pass released Sturridge down the right and the striker cut inside to find Jordan Henderson who stroked a measured finish into the top corner from the edge of the area.Liverpool looked done and dusted yet again, but their suspect defence and Swansea's refusal to wilt destroyed that familiar script. The visitors were deservedly level with two goals in three minutes. Jonjo Shelvey, impressive on his Anfield return, started the comeback with his own, improved take on the Henderson goal. Taking Nathan Dyer's square pass first time, the former Liverpool midfielder swept the ball in off the bar and bizarrely apologised to the Liverpool fans who sportingly applauded the strike.Moments later Shelvey was fouled by Martin Skrtel and, from Jonathan De Guzmán's free-kick, Wilfried Bony headed home his first Premier League goal on English soil via a deflection off Liverpool's Slovakian defender. Bony and Dyer had decent chances for a third before the interval but Liverpool edged ahead again as Suárez and Sturridge performed another rescue act. Jon Flanagan and Sterling combined to release Suárez, who floated an inch-perfect cross from the left for Sturridge to head his 18th goal in 19 Premier League appearances beyond Vorm.Any thoughts that Rodgers' half-time team talk would lessen the anxiety flowing through the Liverpool performance were dispelled seconds after the restart. Skrtel has been grappling opponents without consequence inside his area all season but referee Mike Jones showed no leniency when he hauled Bony to the floor as Dyer's cross sailed over. The Ivory Coast forward picked himself up to beat Mignolet from the spot.De Guzmán was just wide with a 20-yard free-kick, Mignolet made a vital save from Dyer after a careless pass from Glen Johnson, while Vorm blocked from Suárez and Williams denied Sturridge as the game swung from end to end. Suárez was denied a penalty claim for the second successive Sunday, after Liverpool refused to return to the ball to Swansea after an injury, but Henderson eased the home side's nerves with his second of the afternoon. Steven Gerrard found Suárez from deep inside his own half and, though Williams blocked the Uruguayan's shot, the ball fell for the Liverpool midfielder to beat Vorm at the second attempt.LiverpoolSwansea CityPremier LeagueAndy Huntertheguardian.com 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

DetailsBrendan Rodgers welcomes his old side Swansea to Anfield on Sunday as Liverpool look to put their loss in the FA Cup behind them and make a real challenge in the league. With Gary Monk now in the hot seat for the Welsh side it will be interesting to see what he can bring to this fixture.An injury update from Rodgers on Friday made unpleasant hearing for some Liverpool fans as it was announced Jose Enrique had been to America to see a specialist about his knee injury and could potentially be out for the rest of the season. On the plus side Glen Johnson is back for the Reds but Lucas and Sakho are both still unavailable.For Swansea they are unable to call upon Michu who has an ankle injury but Jonjo Shelvey came back for the side to feature against Napoli in the Europa League.Swansea currently find themselves 10th in the league. Current form for the Swans has been a bit hit and miss, they managed to hold Napoli to a draw in the week but in the league they have lost three out of their last six, drawn one and won two.Liverpool are currently sitting in 4th and they haven't lost any of their last six league games. They did of course lose to Arsenal in the FA Cup last weekend however. The Reds find themselves just four points off Chelsea who are top of the table and so there is a massive incentive for a win on Sunday for the Reds.The last time the two sides met was in September last year. The game ended in a 2-2 draw with goals from Daniel Sturridge and Victor Moses for Liverpool.Swansea's last trip to Anfield wasn't much fun on their part though after Liverpool put five goals past them. Swansea have however notched up a win quite recently at Anfield when they beat us in the League Cup in October 2012. That game ended 3-1.Stat SandwichThe Reds have taken 28 points from the last 30 in the league at Anfield.Swansea have failed to take all three points in their last seven away matches.If Daniel Sturridge scores in the game, he will have netted in eight consecutive league matches, levelling a Ruud Van Nistolrooy record.I have to admit I've not seen much of Swansea this season but in my opinion they don't look as threatening as they have been in previous seasons. I think they'll create some problems for us but on paper for me, Liverpool should have this in the bag.We certainly need the win as well, with the league the only thing left to focus on Liverpool must fight in the race that nobody can deny they are currently a part of. Anything can happen and the Reds need to make sure they are well and truly in the mix.I don't think I'm gonna be putting any money on an outcome tomorrow but I quite fancy a 3-1 win with Daniel Sturridge on the score sheet.I asked you on Twitter for your score predictions and here are a few of the tweets I received. (I'm pretty sure somebody is getting a bit too excited as well with their prediction haha!)Enjoy the match folks, wherever you're watching!Like "The Liver Bird" on Facebook – www.facebook.com/TheLiverBirdsBlog
DetailsStoke midfielder has dealt with personal problems and has Mark Hughes to thank for resurrecting his careerGiven that Charlie Adam has made a name for himself as a creative midfielder, it may seem curious to hear him state with complete conviction: "I am at my best when I am scoring goals."Goals are the very thing which have endorsed Adam's return to prominence. This, his finest spell of football since he was virtually winning matches single-handedly for Blackpool, has been most notable for goals against Liverpool and Manchester United.It was in July 2011 that Adam's brilliance at Blackpool deemed him worthy of a £7m move to Liverpool. Just 13 months later, the Scot had departed Anfield for Stoke City. That may have been a brief stint on Merseyside but Adam still raised eyebrows with his lack of celebration in front of Liverpool's supporters when scoring for Stoke against his former club in mid-January."I have a fantastic respect for Liverpool the city, club and the fans, from the time I spent there," Adam explains. "That respect will always be there. The fans were fantastic to me, the facilities we had and players I played alongside were amazing. It doesn't make any sense for me to be celebrating in front of those fans. I had an amazing time at Liverpool; of course I was delighted to score that goal but I still wanted to show some respect."It is unsurprising, then, that Adam expresses no regrets whatsoever about his time as a Liverpool player. There is only a minimal one concerning the time of his departure. "I went there and played with some of the best players in the country," he says. "You only have to look at how well Liverpool are doing – and Luis Suárez in particular – this season to see that. I experienced life at a massive club and enjoyed it. I learned from it as well, as a person and a player."The reaction to defeats is different, I hate getting beaten anyway but at big clubs it is a crisis. At Stoke, maybe there would be a tendency to just look towards the next game after losing but I enjoyed the pressure of having to win every single week and it's something we have tried to create here, too."It is to Adam's credit that he left Liverpool, high wages and a potentially comfortable position of collecting them for little exertion, to take on the reality of mid-table or relegation struggles at Stoke. Others might have adopted a different approach."Playing at big clubs is what you want to do," he adds. "In my case, it was just that I felt I had to be playing regularly. I could have stayed there and just seen what happened but I had a chat with [the manager] Brendan Rodgers and he told me I wasn't going to play as much as I wanted to. From there, it made sense for me to move. Maybe it was a year too early to leave, when you look at what Liverpool have done since, but it felt like the right choice at the time and hopefully that proves the case."Adam became the latest player to pile misery on David Moyes at the start of this month. And the United manager's brother Kenny, ironically, is the agent who presided over Adam's move to Liverpool. Two Adam goals – he has the good grace to admit the first had a huge chunk of fortune attached – saw off United in Stoke. Like Liverpool, the Premier League champions had been reminded of the recurring dangers of affording Adam a shooting opportunity even outside of the penalty area."I'm not so sure about the first but the second is up there, certainly, with the best moments in my career," Adam admits. "People have said a lot about where they are just now but this was Manchester United, they are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and for our club to beat them was a massive achievement. Rooney, Van Persie and Mata all played that day. It was the first time we had beaten them in 30 years and the first time in the Premier League, which tells you how big it was."At home we feel we can beat anybody but United still have some of the best players in the world. It was a great testament to how well we played that day that we managed to win and, of course, as a kid it is one of the things you dream of – scoring the winner against Manchester United."Adam has spoken in moving terms before about the impact the loss of the main influence from those childhood years had on him. His father, Charlie Sr, died in December 2012 at the age of just 50; Adam's form unsurprisingly dipped in the aftermath of that, with Stoke also affording him compassionate leave."It affected me, of course it did," he recalls. "I'm not over it yet but I know what I am doing now. I am getting my form back. When you are happy and playing regular football, that can make life a lot easier."It would also be folly to ignore the part Stoke City's manager, Mark Hughes, has played in that. Adam's usefulness to a team which is less back-to-front in style than in previous seasons should come as no coincidence."The manager has given me a freedom to play my game, which I appreciate," says Adam. "He has let me do what I am good at. He has helped me in terms of what I should and shouldn't be doing on the pitch. The manager has played at the highest level and won trophies at the highest level. I have respected every manager I have played under but if you can't learn from someone like Mark Hughes, it is going to be hard for you."Adam's wider ambition concerns the return to a Scotland side in which he has been reduced to a bit-part role under Gordon Strachan. The national team's improvement has played a part in that, as did Adam's lack of first-team action during the early months of Strachan's tenure."I want to get back in there but I know I needed to be playing regularly at my club," says the 28-year-old. "My next cap will be my 25th and that will mean an awful lot to me. It would be amazing to finally qualify for something with Scotland. A dream."Stoke's more immediate task could hardly be more stern. A team with just a solitary away league victory to their name this season travel to Manchester City, who have rattled in 42 goals during 11 home fixtures. Stoke lie just three points above the relegation zone, albeit in 14th place and just one point off 10th."We are in the [relegation] mix," says Adam. "We are in that situation where we know a couple of wins would be huge in terms of taking us up the league but a couple of defeats could leave us in trouble. Our away results haven't been good enough and that's something we need to pick up."You just have to look at City's home results, averaging almost four goals a game, to see how tough it will be. But we will go there and try to keep it as tight as we can. Anything can happen in this league, results over the last few years have shown that. There is no point going to these places without hope."There is still plenty time for Adam to return to one of English football's elite; but for the time being, he is revelling in scoring against them.Stoke CityMark HughesScotlandRangersBlackpoolLiverpoolEwan Murraytheguardian.com 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

DetailsHannah Jane Parkinson: After Howard Webb denied Liverpool at Arsenal in the FA Cup, we look at 10 far more dubious penalty decisionsHannah Jane Parkinson
DetailsLiverpool's defender may be better advised to cut down on the conservation efforts and try to save the day job for another yearWho would be an elephant? Specifically, an African one. As if the very real threat of extinction within 10 years at the hands of unscrupulous, tusk-thieving, machine gun-toting poachers wasn't stressful enough, these iconic, big-eared members of the order Proboscidea will have been disheartened to learn in recent days, that of all the Premier League defenders who could have been asked to help fight their corner, the World Wildlife Fund UK and Born Free Foundation called on Kolo Touré.Renowned for his many good works in the name of charity, the most philanthropic in recent weeks being those comical goals gifted to West Bromwich Albion and Fulham, the Liverpool defender will have alarmed the WWF with his recent attempts at conservation, specifically that of his team's title hopes. We can but pray his efforts in the field of defending big game are less disastrous than those he has recently showcased when it comes to big-game defending."They say that somewhere in Africa the elephants have a secret grave where they go to lie down, unburden their wrinkled grey bodies, and soar away," wrote Robert R McCammon in his bestselling novel Boy's Life. Following those extraordinary aberrations at The Hawthorns and Craven Cottage, one can't help but feel Kolo might gratefully have accepted the opportunity to join them.A native of the Ivory Coast, Touré has been trumpeting on behalf of the continent's endangered population of elephants along with his brother Yaya, Southampton's Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama and the Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany. "When Premier League players speak out, the world listens," said Will Travers, president of the Born Free Foundation, whose wheeze to get players of African origin on board may or may not have been inspired by inevitable links between the success of the late Bobby Moore's famous 1960s exhortation for citizens everywhere to "look in at the local" and subsequent UK binge-drinking trends.For all the negative headlines the often maligned body of professional footballers tend to generate, it's my experience that they are largely good eggs who have long been happy to lend their names to worthy causes.A radio show I help to present with Soccer AM's Max Rushden has a feature entitled Footballers Are Nice, in which assorted players are quizzed to see if they are better men than Linvoy Primus, the former Portsmouth and Charlton defender who has become the benchmark for absolute top-blokedom among his peers on the back of his involvement in more charitable works than a battalion of Bob Geldofs.For those of a cynical bent, it has been an eye-opener. In recent months we've discovered that Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has set up and funded his own foundation in Jamaica. We've learned that the Burnley defender Michael Duff occasionally gives tramps his loose change. We exclusively revealed that the Wolves striker Noel Hunt recently made blueberry pancakes for his wife's breakfast, even though he hadn't done anything wrong.Of course, while paved with good deeds and acts of selflessness, the road to football heaven is not without its potholes. Some years ago, the England footballer-turned-TV presenter Gary Lineker was one of many unfortunate household names gulled into adding his name to "Nonce Sense", a controversial and highly amusing spoof campaign against child sexual abuse dreamt up by the satirist Chris Morris for his TV show Brass Eye.Understandably annoyed and embarrassed when it emerged he had been the victim of a stitch-up dreamt up to ridicule celebrities apparently prepared to say any old tosh that might get them on television, the gullible but obviously well-intentioned Lineker has since devoted much of his professional life to exacting brutal revenge, engaging in the wanton and extremely lucrative promotion of fat and salt-laden savoury snacks to innocent consumers.David Beckham is another former England international who is invariably happy to lend his name to a worthy cause and has recently joined Kolo and chums on the animal preservation bandwagon. Taking time out from bringing football to the masses of Miami, the world's most iconic former footballer has thrown his fez into the ring on behalf of sharks and white rhinos, teaming up with Prince William to front a campaign both endangered species will be hoping is more successful than the pair's combined efforts to bring World Cup 2018 to England.Unable to speak out for themselves, the world's dwindling population of elephants, sharks and rhinos will almost certainly be delighted to hear such high-profile folk watch their backs. One can't help but feel that at Anfield, however, Liverpool fans will be reminding a certain centre-half that charity begins at home. A little less conservation, a little more action please.Kolo TouréLiverpoolBarry Glendenningtheguardian.com 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

DetailsThis could be the year Arsène Wenger's team win a trophy after a ragged display and victory against Liverpool in the FA CupFrantic, ragged, lucky, even at times rather desperate: oh yes, this was a hugely encouraging afternoon all round for Arsenal. If Arsène Wenger could have designed the perfect riposte to those familiar accusations of stylish underachievement – voiced last week by José Mourinho, a man who blurts out toxic barbs in much the same way some people feel compelled to make chit-chat about the weather – it would have been this, a raggedly full-blooded FA Cup victory against a Liverpool team who played the better football, created more chances, but still somehow always seemed likely to lose.On a crisp, clear north London afternoon Arsenal looked like a team roused into a state of unaccustomed spikiness by the week-long hangover from that invertebrate 5-1 thrashing at Anfield. Abrasive for an hour, they were eventually hauled in as Liverpool's excellent three-man midfield began to dominate possession, but hung on not just to win but – even better – to win ugly, holding on to a 2-1 lead as Liverpool finished the stronger.This was, above all, an excellent match, a reminder of the astringent qualities of a concussive February FA Cup tie, and an occasion from which both managers will take some encouragement. For an Arsenal team that had seemed to be drifting into battle-weary diffidence at exactly the wrong moment, there was a bracing sense of physicality about this performance, and above all a fine and decisive turn from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the best player on the pitch for the opening hour.It has been a timely return to full fitness for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is still only 20 and has provided recently that vital sense of textural variation in an Arsenal team which, without Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey, can seem intent on trying to persuade the opposition to death.Not here though, as at times there was almost a sniff of a pre-modern Arsenal about this Cup team of convenience as Mathieu Flamini, a leaping, drop-kicking Cato to Steven Gerrard's inspector Clouseau, hurled himself into tackles, half-tackles and never-were-tackles, and Oxlade-Chamberlain gave Aly Cissokho a traumatic opening hour playing as an orthodox right-winger. Here Arsenal's No33 was a blur of speed and intelligent short-passing, scoring the first and setting up the second, always playing with his head up, and looking the model of a fluid creative attacking midfielder.There was a hugely encouraging sense of composure about his assist for the decisive second goal just after half-time as he took the time to look up and place a perfectly measured pass into Lukas Podolski's path for a first-time finish low beyond Brad Jones. Raheem Sterling also had an excellent match on Liverpool's left flank, showing excellent touch and control under pressure. Roy Hodgson has spoken about his willingness to create an England team full of pace and youthful vim. It will mean little if he ducks the chance to take the two best wide players on the pitch here with him to Brazil.If Oxlade-Chamberlain was the brain behind Arsenal's victory, Yaya Sanogo was the galloping brawn. A 21-year-old with 11 career goals and just 39 Arsenal first-team minutes to his name, Sanogo started here in place of Olivier Giroud, who was finally given a rest at the exact moment he might have been better off getting out of the house for a bit.Sanogo is an encouragingly mobile 6ft 3in centre forward, albeit there is still a gaucheness to his touch and a puppyish quality to his unceasing movement across the front line. He was brilliantly willing here, bullocking about like a young John Fashanu, and playing his part in Arsenal's opening goal by tussling repeatedly with Martin Skrtel, then chesting down the ball and shooting as Skrtel came charging out in search of Mesut Özil's corner kick. From the rebound Oxlade-Chamberlain tucked the ball home neatly.After which Sanogo sprinted and wrestled gamely, one piece of closing down on Skrtel drawing a furious leaping ovation. And with half-time looming there was further evidence of something odd in the air as Mesut Özil won the ball with a fierce challenge on the halfway line – while across north London the dogs miaowed and the clock struck 13 – to set Oxlade-Chamberlain off again down the right. As he was at Anfield, Özil was energetically double-hustled by Liverpool's midfield. His problem right now is not so much that teams have learnt to do this to him, but that he shows such an obvious displeasure in finding himself harried and chivvied. This, it would seem, wasn't in the brochure. His quality remains, though: the pass down the right flank to put Oxlade-Chamberlain in space for the second goal was superbly finessed.For Liverpool this was a frustrating afternoon. They were the better team on balance, particularly in the second half, with Luis Suárez producing another dashed off masterpiece in ferrety and instinctive centre-forward play and Sterling and Daniel Sturridge both incisive on the ball. Gerrard deservedly pulled one back with a penalty and they should have had another as Suárez was barrelled over by Oxlade-Chamberlain.This, though, was destined to be the Ox's afternoon, reward for a performance of both maturity and youthful zest. However breathlessly Arsenal are still in the running in three competitions, although realistically the Cup is their best chance of an actual, non-metaphorical trophy this season. Ragged, flukey, hot-blooded, hanging on for dear life: who knows, maybe it might just be their year after all.ArsenalArsène WengerLiverpoolBarney Ronaytheguardian.com 2014 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

LA insurer to levy 12 percent rate increase
The Advocate, March 28, 2012
The federal government has labeled a health insurer's proposed 12 percent rate increase "unreasonable," but Louisiana customers will still end up paying the higher rates. That's because Louisiana law does not give the state Department of Insurance the authority to regulate health insurance companies' rates. The proposed rate increase for John Alden Life Insurance Co., which has 221 Louisiana policyholders, is an average of 12 percent statewide, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. However, depending on the policy, the increase will range from 8 percent to 39 percent.
